Father Finds Out He’s Infertile, Recognizes Who His Kids Look Like

Tragic News

He felt his pulse start to race when the doctor gave him the tragic news. How dare he imply they weren’t his. But he knew in truth that science was rarely wrong.

If only he knew the implications and what rabbit hole he’d be led down after he figured out that she had been lying to him for years.

True Love

Richard Mason had the life he’d always dreamed of. His hugely successful price comparison website MoneySupermarket.com has made him a millionaire in the UK.

He wasn’t just lucky with business; then, he met the woman he knew he’d spend the rest of his life with. Or at least, that’s what he used to think back then.

Skeletons In The Closet

Richard married Kate and the loved-up couple started work on a family that would soon grow to three children. However, every family has its own particular skeletons in the closet, and Richard and Kate’s was no exception to the rule.

Behind what seemed like a picture-perfect family life lurked something that would shatter Richard’s world.

Falling Apart

As time went on, Richard and Kate’s relationship began to deteriorate. The two of them grew increasingly aware of one painful fact; they weren’t as compatible as they had thought in the beginning.

In 2008, they sat their sons, Will and twins Ed and Joel, down to break the news that their parents would be getting a divorce.

No Regrets

At the time, Richard had no regrets about his marriage to Kate, because he was still grateful for all their time together and crazy about the three sons they raised together.

It would have taken wild horses to drag him away from his commitments as a father. That, or some life-shattering news from the doctor.

Bitter Divorce

In the beginning, the separation was fairly amicable – but then the lawyers got involved and the matter of money became the overriding issue.

After a lengthy battle, Kate was awarded $5 million of Richard’s fortune, as well as a guarantee that Richard would pay for their children’s private school fees. But that wasn’t the end of it.
