I was walking home when a rough-looking biker suddenly stopped beside me. “Play along. Pretend I’m your dad,” he murmured. Before I could react, I noticed a black car trailing us. “I knew your mother,” he added, handing me an old photo of them together. When I confronted her, her reaction shook me.
