Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been married for more than six years. Their grand wedding in May 2018 was spectacular, but it didn’t take long before things started crackling. The couple left royal life two years later, and what once was a great relationship with their UK family, including Prince William and Kate Middleton, is gone today.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle married only two years after their first blind date in London. The couple quickly fell in love, and not long after, Meghan Markle decided to move to the UK to be with her boyfriend.

However, Prince Harry’s apparent overflowing love for Meghan was not only positive among his family members. Prince William urged his brother to take it slow—and according to one royal author, it was because he felt something was wrong.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s love story goes back many years. Meghan Markle’s friend set up a date for the couple in 2016.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle
In their Netflix series Harry & Meghan, the now Duchess described how she was in London for the Wimbledon tennis tournament in 2016 when she and Harry initially made plans to meet.

They scheduled a dinner, though things could have gotten off to a better start. Harry and Meghan were to meet at the Soho House in London, but the actress was forced to wait on her date for 30 minutes as Harry was running late.

“I couldn’t understand why he would be late,” Meghan said in the series. “But he kept texting. He was like, ‘I’m in traffic. I’m so sorry.’”

“I was panicking, I was freaking out,” Harry added. “I was, like, sweatin’.”

Once Harry walked into the restaurant, though, Meghan quickly realized his being late wasn’t part of any tactic or plan.

“I was a hot, sweaty, red ball of mess,” Harry recalled.

“You were just so sweet,” Meghan added. “You were genuinely so embarrassed and late.”

The first date, which Meghan said was “refreshingly fun,” lasted about an hour. The next day, the couple met again – coincidentally, Meghan was five minutes late.

Prince Harry revealed first big fight with Meghan Markle in his book ‘Spare’
By all accounts, Harry was over the moon when he started dating Meghan.

A friend who appeared in the couple’s documentary explained how happy and excited the prince was. Meghan, meanwhile, described how she and Harry shared a special connection from the beginning. Though their relationship was initially long-distance – a secret to the world – it never stopped them.

“Everything was text and FaceTime, we’d talk for hours. It felt exciting but not in the way people would assume it would be,” Meghan said. “It was just relaxed and easy.”

Harry and Meghan eventually began dating, and everything went smoothly. But just like any couple, they also had fights. In his book Spare, Harry revealed an incident in 2016 that saw him snap at his then-girlfriend.

“Maybe the wine went to my head. Maybe the weeks of battling the press had worn me down. For some reason, when the conversation took an unexpected turn, I became touchy,” Harry wrote.

“Then angry. Disproportionately, sloppily angry.”

Harry explained that Meghan took a comment he had made “the wrong way” because of their “cultural difference.” He then spoke to her “harshly” and “cruelly.”

“As the words left my mouth, I could feel everything in the room come to a stop. The gravy stopped bubbling, the molecules of air stopped orbiting. Even Nina Simone seemed to pause.”

“She would never stand for being spoken to like that”
Meghan left the room and disappeared. He recalled her being away for a “full 15 minutes,” before he found her in their bedroom.

“She was calm, but said in a quiet, level tone that she would never stand for being spoken to like that. I nodded. She wanted to know where it came from,” Harry wrote in Spare. He remembered Meghan saying:” ‘Where did you ever hear a man speak like that to a woman? Did you overhear adults speak that way when you were growing up?’ I cleared my throat, looked away [and responded], ‘Yes.’”

Meghan continued by saying she would never “tolerate” a partner or co-parent who yelled at her as he had done.

“She wasn’t going to raise children in an atmosphere of anger or disrespect. She laid it all out, super-clear,” Prince Harry wrote, noting that both he and Meghan “knew” that his anger wasn’t a result of their conversation.

“It came from somewhere deep inside, somewhere that needed to be excavated, and it was obvious that I could use some help with the job,” Harry explained.

“‘I’ve tried therapy,’ I told her. ‘Willy told me to go. Never found the right person.’ [It] didn’t work. ‘No,’ she said softly. ‘Try again.’”

Meghan Markle speaks with Prince William
When Meghan Markle first met Harry, and the two started dating, the former actress was introduced to the Royal Family, including the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince William. In the beginning, Meghan and William formed a great relationship, which was crucial.

Prince William & Meghan Markle – relationship
In what has been called the “Pro-Sussex” biography Finding Freedom, authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand wrote that William and Meghan got “along so well” after their first meeting.”

For her part, Meghan was nervous about meeting William for the first time. She expected her relationship with him to be “trying” from the off. According to the authors, she “thought William would no doubt want to know everything about her and her intentions.

“She was self-aware enough to understand that the brothers were wary of women who were more interested in their titles than their wellbeing,” Scobie and Durand wrote.

“And she couldn’t have come from a more different world than that of William, his wife, and most of their friends.”

A friend of Meghan’s told the authors that she prepared herself for a grilling session with William. But their first meeting turned out great.

According to the authors, William told Meghan: “I was looking forward to meeting the girl who has put that silly grin on my brother’s face.”

Even though William initially appeared to like Meghan, he was also concerned. Harry and Meghan’s relationship moved exceptionally quickly after a friend set them up on a blind date—and according to Finding Freedom author Omid Scobie, the future king had troubles with it.

About a year before their wedding—and about a year after they began dating—Prince William wanted to talk with his older brother about Meghan.

Prince William was concerned Harry was “blindsided by lust,” author claims
William was said to have told his brother, “Don’t feel you need to rush this,” and “Take as much time as you need to get to know this girl.”

Scobie and Durand continued by saying that Harry was “pissed off” that William even asked him to take it slow, while the phrase “the girl” bothered him.

Later, Omid Scobie, who’s been closely connected to the Sussexes for years, said William “just wanted to make sure that Harry wasn’t blindsided by lust.”

William is also reported to have voiced concerns about how quickly his brother’s relationship developed, though this was done privately to his aides.

“William soon began to wonder about some of Meghan’s traits and motivations,” a source told the Daily Mail, as revealed by the Express.

“He was worried that at times she seemed to be more concerned about her personal progression or profile over the wider goals and aims of the Royal Family.”

However, William decided to keep those feelings to himself. Why? Because he “desperately wanted her to be happy and appreciated the huge adjustment of entering the Royal Family,” according to the source.

Finding Freedom led to many speculations about what really had happened within the Royal Family. But sadly, Prince William’s relationship and actions weren’t the only things discussed in the book; Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle’s relationship was also examined.

Sad reason Meghan Markle & Kate Middleton never got along
Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton had a hard time getting along, and they never became the backbone of the new Royal Family that many thought.

According to Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, Meghan and Kate’s strained relationship was caused by their inability to know each other well enough.

“Meghan would agree with the assessment that the Duchesses were not the best of friends,” they wrote in Finding Freedom. “Their relationship hadn’t progressed much since [Markle] was Harry’s girlfriend.”

Moreover, Durand and Scobie added that Kate didn’t make a significant effort to welcome Markle into the family, at least not in the way people might have expected.

Meghan had hoped that Kate would take her under her wing and guide her through all the new things that someone coming from “outside to the Firm” should know about.

That, the authors claim, never happened.

“Meghan was disappointed that she and Kate hadn’t bonded over the position they shared, but she wasn’t losing sleep over it,” Durand and Scobie wrote in Finding Freedom, adding that “Meghan would far rather have had Kate check in on her during the most difficult times with the press.”

Meghan Markle will only sitdown with Royal Family if “two demands” are fullfiled
Today, we all know that the relationship between the Royal Family and the Sussexes is completely destroyed. Rumors about possible peace talks have been many, but time will tell if that will ever happen.

Prince Harry has been rumored to miss his life in the UK, and if peace talks ever take place, it’s most likely that King Charles will be involved, not Prince William and Kate MIddleton.

Although Harry might be open to the idea, Meghan Markle reportedly has two demands that have to be fulfilled before she will even consider a sitdown with the royals.

According to royal expert Tom Quinn, Meghan will only back down when “she feels that the Royal Family have been sufficiently nice to her, and grovelingly apologized for the past.”

Of course, the idea that the royals will meet those demands is doubtful.

“Harry would like a reconciliation, but supports his wife completely and until she feels that the Royal Family have been sufficiently nice to her – and grovelingly apologized for the past – it’s not going to happen,” Quinn told the Mirror.

Meghan’s “sense of grievance” is “preventing anything really meaningful happening”
He added that Meghan may be holding Harry back from any peace talks.

He claimed that the Duchess’s “sense of grievance” is “preventing anything really meaningful happening. ” Meghan and Harry have made it clear that they won’t bring their children to the UK due to a perceived lack of protection, which makes any possible reunion even more complicated.

Though there’s plenty of question marks regarding Kate Middleton at the moment, not least what caused the “abdominal procedure” that will see her out of action until after Easter, there’s been an update sure to be of interest to all those out there who think of themselves as royal fans.

According to reports, the Princess of Wales’ first official engagement since her surgery has been announced, and is due to take place on June 8.

Hello! say that on that date Kate will review Trooping the Colour, one week before the main event takes place.

A statement on the official Household Division website reads: “Trooping the Colour reviewed by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales is identical to Trooping the Colour reviewed by His Majesty The King, with the exception that some additional mounted officers ride when His Majesty The King is present.

“Taking part will be over 1400 soldiers of the Household Division and The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, including 400 musicians from the Massed Bands, all of whom will parade on Horse Guards for the second of two formal Reviews.”

Having a fixed date upon which Kate is scheduled to return to royal action could go some way to allaying the concerns of those who have taken the general lack of information offered since the future Queen’s surgery for a bad omen.

Speculation has been rife in recent weeks as to the possibility that Kate’s condition is in fact worse than the Palace have let on. The Palace themselves were forced to issue a statement doubling down on previous claims that all is as it should be regarding Kate’s recovery, reassuring folk that she was “doing well”.

Even so, the general lack of information available to the public has created a vacuum in which so often conjecture can spread like wildfire.

Hardly helping matters is the fact that the Princess of Wales had not been seen in person or in photo since Christmas. That was until yesterday, when a snap of Kate was taken as she sat in a car with her mother, Carol Middleton, outside of Windsor Castle.

The image marked the first time Kate had been seen in public in 70 days. Cue a fresh frenzy of speculation, in spite of the fact that the Royal Family have tried to reassure royal fans over the past week that the Princess is simply recovering on her own terms, away from the flashing of cameras.

Join us in wishing Kate Middleton well in her recovery. We think it’s great news that she’s on the mend and has a date set for her return to royal duties.

Optical illusions, like this one, are fun and good for the brain.

Find Dog’s Master in 7 Seconds: Solution

While it’s become second nature to hear “The Star-Spangled Banner” before sporting events, have you ever stopped to ponder why it’s played?

“The Star-Spangled Banner” is more than just a song; it’s an iconic anthem that captures the spirit of a nation, recounting a pivotal battle from the War of 1812. Its presence at sporting events has woven itself into the fabric of American sports culture, yet opinions on its necessity remain varied.

We often take for granted the familiar strains echoing through stadiums and arenas before the excitement of a game. But have you ever paused to wonder why this tradition began?

The answer takes us back to the somber days of World War I, when the anthem became a powerful reminder of national pride and resilience.

A pivotal moment
The tradition of playing the national anthem at sporting events emerged during a time of great sorrow for the nation. While baseball fans occasionally heard the song performed by military bands in the late 19th century, it wasn’t until March 3, 1931, that Congress officially designated “The Star-Spangled Banner” as the national anthem.

Yet its significance had already begun to take root in the hearts of Americans.

A pivotal moment occurred on September 5, 1918, during Game 1 of the World Series between the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs.

This game unfolded amid the turmoil of World War I, the same month as the U.S. Army launched one of the largest offensives in American military history, the Meuse-Argonne Campaign. Over 100,000 American men had already lost their lives on the European battlefields.

The atmosphere was heavy, and to add further sorrow, a bomb exploded in Chicago the day before the game, claiming innocent lives and casting a shadow over the festivities.

Rain delayed the match, and just over 19,000 fans gathered at Comiskey Park, a stark contrast to the usual crowds of 32,000. The mood was somber, but everything changed during the seventh-inning stretch when the U.S. Navy band began to play the national anthem.

A chain reaction
According to the Chicago Tribune, Red Sox infielder Fred Thomas, who was in the Navy and had been granted furlough to play in the World Series, turned toward the American flag and saluted. This gesture sparked a chain reaction among other players, and as the song came to a close, the stadium erupted into thunderous applause, transforming the atmosphere into one of unbridled patriotism.

The New York Times noted that this moment was “the highest point of the day’s enthusiasm,” and from then on, the anthem began to feature prominently in future games. As a tribute to wounded veterans, the Red Sox offered free tickets to those who had served, honoring them during the anthem at the decisive Game 6.

The spirit of patriotism spread across the nation, with more ballparks incorporating the anthem into their rituals. By the time the anthem became official in 1931, the NFL had already mandated its playing at every football game, a practice that soon extended to most major sports.

The evolution of sound systems during World War II played a crucial role in the anthem’s omnipresence, making it “heard everywhere,” as author Marc Ferris explains in his book Star-Spangled Banner: The Unlikely Story of America’s National Anthem. “Before the opera, before the movies, before the theater,” he says, the anthem became synonymous with American pride.

A heated debate
Whether the anthem belongs at sporting events has been a topic of debate for decades. As early as 1954, some voiced concerns about behavior during the performance, leading Baltimore Orioles general manager Arthur Ehlers to briefly ban it — only to reverse the decision due to public backlash.

In the 1970s, sports radio talk show host Guy Mainella stirred controversy by claiming the anthem celebrated military conquests and was out of place at sporting events. He argued, “It’s a game we’re about to watch, not the Battle of Iwo Jima.”

The conversation intensified in recent years, especially following Colin Kaepernick’s protest against systemic racism and police brutality. Longtime sports writer Peter May posed a thought-provoking question:

“Would any of us feel less patriotic or less supportive of the troops if teams agreed to stop playing the song altogether?” He added, “You only hear it at sporting events… You don’t hear it at the opera, at the theater, at the concert hall… But for reasons unknown, the song has become part of our sporting culture. You cannot attend an NFL, NBA, MLB, or NHL game without hearing it.”

In November 2020, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban made the controversial decision to stop playing the anthem at home games as an act of solidarity with the player-led social justice movement. This decision ignited a firestorm, with Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick calling it “a slap in the face to every American.”

“It is hard to believe this could happen in Texas, but Mark Cuban’s actions of yesterday made it clear that we must specify that in Texas we play the national anthem before all major events,” Patrick stated.

The following year, after intense pressure from Texas politicians, the NBA reinstated the anthem at Mavericks games.

What do you think?
As we can see, opinions vary widely: some view the melody as a tribute to fallen heroes, while others argue it represents the broader American experience. What do you think? Should we continue this cherished tradition, or is it time to evolve?

Ultimately, the meaning of “The Star-Spangled Banner” varies from person to person, shaped by individual experiences and beliefs. Does the anthem have a place at sporting events?

Since Elvis Presley tragically died in 1977, hardcore fans have been convinced the king of rock and roll staged his death to live outside the spotlight.

Some believed he was hiding from the mafia, appeared as an extra in the 1990 blockbuster Home Alone, toured California’s Legoland, tended to the grounds of Graceland and now living under the guise of a humble preacher in Arkansas.

Despite the doppelganger’s repeated denials, fans insist that Bob Joyce is “getting ready to explain” his faked death “very soon.”

Keep reading to learn what the preacher has to say about claims that he’s Elvis!

On August 16, 1977, the world was ‘All Shook Up” when it was announced that 42-year-old Elvis Aaron Presley died of cardiac arrest.

Since his death almost 50 years ago, a group of skeptics refused to accept the king of rock and roll was dead.

To this day, Elvis-obsessed fans refuse to let go and choose to believe the gyrating gent faked his own death to go into hiding.

And now they are convinced they spotted the “Jailhouse Rock” singer living as Bob Joyce, a 72-year-old preacher in Benton, Arkansas.

‘None other than Elvis’
Joyce looks like an older, silver-haired version of Elvis, speaks like Elvis and sings with the same soothing baritone that Elvis was adored.

And when a YouTube video of Joyce singing the gospel song “How Great Thou Art,” a song recorded by Elvis in 1967, conspiracy theorists went wild. “This is truly Elvis. No one else could sing this favorite hymn of mine like Elvis,” writes one fan in the comments section.

A second offers, “His voice will never change. We love you and hope you tell us one day the story of your life. I know who he is and so does everyone else.”

“Not even the imitation Elvis sings like Bob Joyce. Sir, I believe you are him. That rhythm and tone of voice is none other than Elvis,” shares a third believer.

Another writes, “I love you elvis bob Joyce I know but it ok no more big lights you have your piece of mind now you still have my heart (SIC).”

‘I’m not Elvis’
Destroying these theories, the gospel singer and preacher at The Household of Faith Church insists he is not the king of rock and roll and instead a messenger of God.

“No, I’m not Elvis. Lots of people ask me that…I got started and I was trying to tell everybody, ‘No, I’m not Elvis,” says the man who points out he’s almost 20 years younger than the “Don’t be Cruel” singer, who would be 89 in 2024. “Most of these folks know I am not Elvis but to them it doesn’t matter. They are only so grateful that God is blessing them and reviewing their lives.

“Perhaps God is using Elvis’ voice to minister to broken hearts and broken lives…If Elvis were alive, I would say to him, my friend and brother, we are of kindred spirits.

Still, many of Joyce’s fans are adamant in saying he hasn’t come out yet and will soon reveal his big secret to the world.

“All his [members of the congregation] knows it’s him as well as the many visitors to his church every Sunday from around the world know it’s him. He’s getting ready to explain it all (why he faked his death & changed his name) very soon,” writes Alabama’s Samantha Drummond Dunn, who plans on traveling to Arkansas to meet Joyce. Encouraging others to watch his YouTube videos, which she says serves as proof, she demands, “It is him!”

Poking fun at her statement, another netizen writes, “If it’s on the Internet it must be true.”

Addressing the several fake accounts on social media– including the one copied by Drummond Dunn in her post – a statement on the Bob Joyce website warns online users against believing what they see on the Internet.

“People have pretended to be Bob Joyce on multiple occasions. He does not send private messages through any online account. The only Facebook account for Pastor Bob Joyce is: facebook.com/bob.joyce.75/ All other Bob Joyce accounts on Facebook or anywhere else online are not him.”

The message adds he is not on Instagram or TikTok.

Emily and Damon’s blind date takes an astonishing turn when the pair realize their sons look exactly alike. Desperate to uncover the truth behind this mystery, Damon decides to confront his unstable ex-wife. Meanwhile, Emily discovers a letter containing a secret that could destroy her life.

Emily, sporting a rainbow-colored clown wig, hurried into an Italian restaurant for her blind date with Damon. They had met online and decided on an old-school blind date, Emily with her wig and Damon with a paper hat.

In the restaurant, she spotted Damon in a corner, their eyes locking as she approached. “Emily!” Damon greeted her, rising from his chair.

Their initial exchange was warm and comforting, and Emily was thrilled to meet him finally. They joked about Emily’s wig and settled into easy conversation, feeling a natural connection.

Eventually, their conversation drifted to their sons, and Damon showed Emily a photo of his son with an abstract painting. Emily was shocked; the boy resembled her son Bradley.

“Is this some kind of joke?” she asked, confused.

Damon pulled back his phone. “What do you mean? My son likes to paint, and he’s very good at it, too.”

“But… I don’t understand. You never mentioned it, but did you also adopt your child?” Emily asked.

“I didn’t.” Damon frowned. “You’re saying some very strange things, Emily. Is everything okay?”

Emily grabbed her phone and showed Damon a photo of Bradley in his soccer uniform. Both adults were now perplexed.

“Our boys are mirror images of each other, like long-lost twins! But how can that be possible?” Emily said, shocked. “Wait, my son’s 14, and yours?”

“14. When’s your son’s birthday?” Damon asked.

“April 16,” Emily responded.

“Same as Jordan,” Damon said, deep in thought. “It can’t be… she never mentioned twins.”

“Do you know something about this, Damon?” Emily pressed, sensing his distress.

“No, but my ex-wife might. She’s the only one who would know if we had twins. I’m sorry, but I have to go,” Damon explained, hurriedly leaving to find answers.

Left alone, Emily reflected on Bradley’s adoption, which was handled by her late husband, Jack. She wondered if Jack knew about a twin.

Jack had gotten the call that a baby was available for them to adopt shortly before Emily was released from the center where she’d been recovering from knee surgery.

When Emily finally arrived home, she was greeted at the door by Jack and a baby boy swaddled in a dinosaur blanket. Her husband had been grinning from ear to ear, and the baby in his arms was the most beautiful human being she’d ever seen in her life.

At home, Emily greeted Bradley, who noticed her unease.

“What’s wrong, Mom? Did that Damon guy do something to hurt you? If he did—”

“Everything’s fine, honey,” she replied, forcing a smile, and hurried to her bedroom.

There, Emily searched for Bradley’s adoption papers but found nothing. Realizing she had never seen them as she’d believed Jack had handled everything well, her sense of unease grew.

She changed into her home clothes and went to the attic, determined to uncover the truth. In the dusty attic, she approached a chest of Jack’s belongings, hoping to find answers in the fading light of her flashlight.

Jack’s sudden passing had left Emily reeling. One day, they were planning a family holiday; the next day, she received a call from the police.

A fatal brain aneurysm he’d suffered while driving home resulted in Jack’s car veering off the highway, leading to an accident and his death.

Struggling with his loss and motherhood, Emily enlisted her brother’s help to pack Jack’s belongings into the attic. Now, seeking answers about her son’s adoption, she discovered an envelope in Jack’s handwriting in his box of things.

‘Dear Emily,’ Jack had written in the letter inside, ‘I’ve been lying to you for almost a year…’

Meanwhile, Damon revisited the facility where his ex-wife, Naomi, resided, a place he hadn’t seen in three years. The atmosphere was heavy with unease, marked by silent orderlies and patients lost in their own worlds.

“I told you not to come back here, Damon,” Naomi greeted him coldly.

“I know, but this is important. Can you tell me what happened the night Jordan was born?”

Naomi frowned and lowered her head. Her gaze darted from side to side. “I already told you, Damon. The tall man told me I needed to leave, so I did. I don’t remember anything else!”

Damon and Naomi, who met in college, were initially happy together. Their joy grew when Naomi fell pregnant shortly after Damon joined a prestigious firm. However, their happiness turned to worry when Naomi developed preeclampsia, a health complication characterized by severe headaches and blurry vision.

Naomi’s reaction to her diagnosis was extreme. She quit her job and her doctor, choosing to stay home and rest. But her condition worsened, and she grew increasingly paranoid, often speaking of a threat to their baby. This paranoia escalated, and one day, while they were shopping, she claimed a tall man warned her of danger, although no such man approached them.

Unfortunately, Naomi’s mental health continued to deteriorate, leading Damon to convince her to see a psychologist. The psychologist diagnosed Naomi with stress-induced schizophrenia, revealing a family history of the condition that Naomi had kept from Damon. This revelation explained her erratic behavior, but it also compounded the challenges they faced, as treating her schizophrenia was complicated by her preeclampsia.

As Naomi’s due date approached, Damon’s anticipation of their child’s birth was overshadowed by his fear and concern for his wife. Tragically, with just over a month left in her pregnancy, Naomi disappeared, leaving no trace behind. Damon reported her missing, but she seemed to have vanished without a trace.

Damon’s nights were consumed by a desperate search for Naomi. He checked every familiar place, but she remained elusive. His search ended with a call from the police; Naomi had been found in an alley, in labor, and rushed to the hospital.

Damon, overwhelmed by a flood of emotions, rushed to the hospital, where Naomi, recovering and holding their newborn son, Jordan, dropped a bombshell. “I’m divorcing you,” she declared, “and giving up my parental rights.”

Now, years later, sitting across from Naomi, Damon sought answers about their past. “Naomi, did you give birth to twins?” he asked.

“No, there were no twins,” Naomi replied, her mind clouded by her condition. “There was Jordan and a parasite. The tall man helped me… he took it away.”

Meanwhile, Emily, grappling with her own crisis, read Jack’s letter. He confessed that he knew about his inoperable cerebral aneurysm but had hidden it from her because he didn’t want to worry her. He also confessed to rescuing a newborn from an alley and falsifying adoption papers for their son, Bradley.

“…I took the baby and called the police. I was going to hand the child over to the police, but when I looked down at his little face, I knew he would be perfect for you. I brought him home and convinced Michael to falsify the details on the adoption papers inside this envelope. They should pass a cursory inspection, but you should know that they won’t stand up in court.

I’m sorry I couldn’t do better for you, my darling Emily.”

Emily clutched the letter to her chest and sobbed. She contemplated telling Damon the possibility that Bradley could be his biological son. While she hesitated to call, Damon’s call came through.

“Hello?” Emily answered nervously.

“I’ve just spoken to my ex-wife, Naomi,” Damon sighed, climbing into his car. “She has schizophrenia and mentioned something bizarre about the night of Jordan’s birth. It’s important, Emily.”

“Come over, Damon. I’ve found something, too,” she replied.

***

At Emily’s home, Damon spilled Naomi’s story. “She thought she was carrying twins…believed one was a parasite. She might have put the baby in a dumpster.”

“Actually, I don’t think the baby was in a dumpster,” Emily said, handing him Jack’s letter.

“So, Jack saved my son?” Damon realized as he read the document.

“Please, don’t take Bradley away,” Emily pleaded. “I know you have the right. But don’t. Please.”

“Nobody’s taking me!” Bradley burst into the room, holding Jack’s hunting rifle. “I’m not going anywhere with you!”

“I’m not here to take you, Bradley,” Damon raised his hands. “You’re Emily’s son. I won’t change that.”

Emily was holding it all in until this very moment. She threw her arms around Damon’s neck and sobbed into his shoulder. Damon rubbed her back as she muttered ‘thank you’s against him. After a few minutes, she broke away with a grateful smile and rose to confront her son.

“Please, put the rifle down, Bradley,” Emily said. “I hate that you overheard so much of this conversation, but there’s nothing we can do to change that, so I need you to sit down so Damon and I can explain.”

“Damon?” Bradley’s eyebrows arched in shock, and he set the gun down against the wall. “The same Damon you went on a date with earlier?”

“Yes, but we need to explain something else,” Emily said. Bradley finally sat down, and Emily and Damon explained the truth to the young boy.

“So, he’s my father, and I have a twin brother?” Bradley asked.

“We think so,” Emily nodded. “A DNA test can confirm it.”

“Why me? Why did she give me up and not my brother?” Bradley asked Damon, his voice tinged with pain.

“Naomi was very sick, suffering from schizophrenia,” Damon explained gently. “She was confused and thought only one child lived. She asked Jack to take you.”

Bradley, trying to hold back tears, nodded, accepting the explanation.

“What happens now?” Bradley asked.

“We do a DNA test, then figure out how to move forward. If it confirms everything, we’re a family,” Damon said, squeezing Emily’s hand.

“This has turned out to be one heck of a first date, right?” Damon glanced at Emily with a slight smile.

Emily laughed, but it was a high-pitched, nervous laugh. “You can say that again!”

“I know this is a lot to take in, Bradley,” Damon said, turning his attention to the young man. “We’ll handle this together, as a family. Emily and I both want what’s best for you, and we’re here to support you through all of this.”

Bradley nodded slowly, still processing the information. “I just… I need some time to think, you know?”

“Of course,” Emily replied, her eyes filled with concern. “Take all the time you need, sweetheart. We’re not rushing anything. This is going to be a journey that we’ll all need to walk together.”

As Bradley excused himself and headed upstairs, Emily turned to Damon, her expression a mix of gratitude and uncertainty.

“What do we do next, Damon? How do we navigate all of this?”

Damon sighed, running a hand over his hair. “First, I’ll need to tell Jordan, but that can wait until morning. Then, we should get that DNA test done. It will provide the clarity we need. Once we have the results, we can decide how to approach the future together.” He met Emily’s gaze, a reassuring glint in his eyes. “No matter what, we face it as a family.”

It’s truly heartbreaking how some people treat animals, but thankfully there are also kind people willing to step up and give these poor creatures the love and care they need.

That was the story of one poor cat who was cruelly dyed blue and then left for dead — but a rescuer helped her make an amazing transformation…

According to the YouTube channel The Moho, the cat was discovered outside in the rain. Someone had reportedly dyed her with toxic blue ink for “cruel fun” and then discarded her.

Animal rescuer Amauri Gomes found the cat and took her to the vet. They began the time-consuming process of carefully removing the blue paint off of her using pet-safe cleansers and oils.

With time and patience, the rescuers were able to get 90% of the paint off. The process was painful for the cat and much of her fur came off, but they did their best to keep her calm and comfortable, and she was reportedly cooperative.

They, fittingly, named the cat “Blue.” The rescuers fed her and provided medical care, and soon Blue began to bounce back: she reportedly had the “sweetest demeanor.”

And once they had removed most of the blue paint, her true colors shined through, revealing a beautiful white and gray coat.

Once the cat had healed, regained weight and was back to her natural colors, she was reportedly placed up for adoption.

It’s unbelievable that anyone would dye a cat blue like this, but we’re glad she’s now doing well and back to her normal colors 💙 Thank you to everyone who saved Blue!

A Woman Who Became A “Vampire” By Covering Entire Body In Tattoos Issues Warning
A fierce warning has been sent to those who are imitating her, by the woman who holds the Guinness World Record for having the most bodily alterations.

Known as the “real-life vampire” due to her unusual appearance, Maria José Cristerna has been working on her large collection of tattoos for the majority of her life. She had her first tattoo at the age of 14.

With 50 physical changes in total, the Mexican woman has cemented her spot as the most changed woman in the Guinness World Records for 2022.

Among Cristerna’s unusual modifications are implants in her arms and forehead, multiple piercings, a split tongue, and an amazing collection of tattoos that cover almost her whole body, including her eyeballs

Speaking to Guinness World Records, Cristerna admitted: “In the beginning, my dad didn’t agree with the idea. But after that, he took me to the tattoo studio to get my very first tattoo.”

She emphasized her deep connection to art, stating: “Art runs through my veins. Since I was a little kid, I loved art, and now I can express it through my body.”

She attributes her changes to an oppressive and abusive ten-year marriage, seeking to advocate for other women who have experienced comparable physical, mental, and emotional abuse. “The only way to escape from violence and abuse is by loving yourself. We came to this world to be happy,” she asserted.

Her physical changes are emblems of bravery, tenacity, and liberation from her past.

Although every alteration has particular meaning, Cristerna found that having implants placed in her arms and the pigmentation in her eyes to be the most agonizing.

Celebrating her Guinness World Records title, Cristerna remains resolute in her pursuit of self-expression.

“You always can reach your goals. There are no limits. Nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it,” she declared.

She envisions covering 100 percent of her body in tattoos, proudly stating: “I don’t care what people think about me. I put myself in first place. I know who I am, and that is what is important.”

She did, however, issue a cautionary message to young people contemplating similar drastic alterations, as Cristerna said: “The advice I would give is that you have to think about it a lot as it is irreversible.”

She continued: “I love the way I look, but you have to understand that there are young people who are very open to tattoos and piercings and everything. It’s become fashionable, so we might get to a point where it’s not what we want anymore, and we might not like it anymore.”

“So you have to think about it very hard in order to love it and be able to defend it your whole life.”

The “Vampire Woman,” who earlier this week wrote about a new tattoo, is still getting inked, despite her advice to others not to get tattoos unless they were absolutely confident about them.

She posted a picture of her most recent makeover on Instagram, showing an artist working on her back at a tattoo shop. A caption that goes with the image says, “One more stripe for my brother’s tiger Rene Camarena Laus Satanus.”
