My Son Married The Love Of His Life. I Just Watched The Video And Realized The Bride Is My Kidnapped Daughter. Am I Going Insane?
Memories of a Lost Daughter
After these words, the man’s thoughts got fuzzy as his mind drifted back to 20 years ago. Alfred wasn’t a millionaire back then and was only taking his first few steps in business. He met Rosa during their senior year of college when they were both about to get their degrees in economics.
The young people liked each other at first sight, and six months later they started dating. Soon after, Rosa found out that she was pregnant. Despite the fact that the woman felt terrible morning sickness and dizziness during the entire pregnancy, the labor was surprisingly easy.
Upon learning of the birth of his daughter, Alfred was beyond happy. The man loved children very much, and deep down he had long dreamed of becoming a father. Unfortunately, Darcy was a very high-maintenance child who demanded her parents’ undivided attention.
When Rosa needed to calm the baby down, she would take her to the park for several hours where the baby could breathe some fresh air and get a change of scenery. One day, Darcy fell asleep in her stroller on one of their walks. Calmed down by the peace and quiet, Rosa sat down on a bench to have a rest.
The weather was beautiful, and being exhausted from all the sleepless nights, the woman didn’t even realize when she dozed off too. But when Rosa woke up, Darcy wasn’t in her stroller. Refusing to believe her eyes, the woman started screaming loudly and calling out her daughter’s name, as if not realizing that the baby couldn’t have left the stroller on her own.
Within half an hour, the entire park was cordoned off by the police who started combing the area. Unfortunately, despite all the best efforts of the search party and volunteers, Darcy was never found. The disappearance of their daughter came as a heavy blow for Rosa and Alfred Miller, and they found it extremely hard to recover from it.
The couple made every last effort to find Darcy, but it was all in vain. The search lasted three years, but unfortunately, it was still unsuccessful. Eventually, the couple got so tired of grieving and feeling hopeless that they decided to adopt a child from an orphanage.
The Private Investigation
And now, 20 years after their Darcy disappeared, it seemed that her story got a continuation. Realizing that in order to get a definitive answer they needed to conduct a professional investigation, Alfred Miller turned to a private detective. The man knew that only a DNA test could put an end to this complicated case.
However, given the situation, the test had to be carried out in strict secrecy. Otherwise, the Miller couple would have to somehow explain to Kimberly that because of the mole behind her ear, the couple thought that she was their daughter who disappeared 20 years ago.
While the private detective was doing his part looking into Kimberly’s past, Rosa carefully took Kimberly’s comb and pulled a few hairs out of it. Then the couple had to wait for about two weeks for the results of the DNA test.
During all this time, Alfred and Rosa literally didn’t know what to do with themselves. However, in their mind, the couple was 100 percent sure that Kimberly wasn’t their daughter.
“It’s probably just a coincidence. Things like that just don’t happen in real life. I’m sure it’s just our imagination playing tricks on us,”
Rosa said, trying to get a grip of herself.
But when the couple saw the results of the test, their surprise knew no bounds. With a 99.6 percent probability, the provided DNA sample is related to Alfred and Rosa Miller. The woman kept re-reading the test results. Now they knew the truth, but how were they supposed to tell Ethan and Kimberly about it? How could they explain such an unlikely coincidence?
The Truth About the Past
Fortunately, it was at this moment that the private detective gave the couple his report, which took him several days to assemble. As it turned out, Kimberly, like Ethan, was raised in an orphanage. However, unlike her husband, she got there at the age of seven when her unfortunate parents died in a fire.
Moreover, the family’s neighbors remembered well the fact that the daughter of Thomas and April Brooks died during childbirth. So where did they get a healthy one-year-old baby girl from?
Unfortunately, no one seemed to really care about it back at the time. A few people were interested in the life of the alcoholic couple leading an immoral lifestyle. According to the private detective, it must have been April Brooks who stole Darcy from the stroller while her mother was asleep on the bench in the park.
Of course, since April and Thomas had died a long time ago, it was difficult to prove or refute the detective’s theory. But on the one hand, it was the only way to explain the disappearance of little Darcy, whose life was forever changed by the couple of alcoholics who had recently lost their own daughter.
“Dear God, is that really true? What are we supposed to tell our son now?”
Rosa exclaimed with tears in her eyes.
“I think that we should tell Ethan and Kimberly the truth. It will be better for everyone,”
Alfred answered, overcoming his internal doubts.
A New Family Dynamic
The next morning, the couple invited the newlyweds to come over and told them everything as it was. Of course, the story told by the elderly couple seemed completely unrealistic and illogical at first. But then, when Ethan saw the results of the DNA test, he realized everything his parents had just told them was actually true.
Upon learning of the unexpected kinship, Kimberly couldn’t hold back her tears. For so many years, the woman believed that her parents were alcoholics and terrible people, and now she found out that all this time she was actually the daughter of a millionaire couple. Ethan, on the other hand, only now found out that his parents actually adopted him from an orphanage.
“As for what to do next, it’s up to you two. I don’t see any reason that you can’t stay together. You’re not blood relatives, which is the most important part,”
Rosa Miller announced at breakfast.
Kimberly and Ethan looked at each other and simply smiled without saying a word. They knew that they’d stay together because they had long made their choice in favor of family life with each other. Moreover, Kimberly and Ethan knew what was ahead of them, and that was many pleasant moments together which they would later tell their children about, sitting in the living room by the hot burning fireplace.
