Chapter 3 - THE FIRST DNA TEST
The first DNA test said:
PATERNITY EXCLUDED.
Probability that Charles Kincaid was Maya’s biological father:
effectively zero.
Maya read the report five times.
She had no living sample directly from Charles.
But the lab had used preserved tissue from a hospital pathology archive.
Chain of custody appeared valid.
The trust froze Maya’s annual distributions immediately.
Not all assets.
Just distributions pending court interpretation.
Marcus told the board:
“This is painful, but fiduciary duty requires neutrality.”
He sounded reasonable.
That was his strength.
He did not celebrate.
He did not attack Maya publicly.
May you like
Not then.
He simply became the person “protecting the trust.”
