Our Son Died—His Family CrumbledChapter 1

My husband had a low sperm count, and it took us ten years of marriage before we finally had our first child.

But while I was away on a business trip, our five-year-old son mysteriously fell from the building and was hastily cremated.

In a fit of rage, Daniel Foster beat Nanny Kate into a vegetative state for failing to watch him properly.

With a face full of grief, he knelt before me, tears streaming down his cheeks.

“Grace, it’s my fault. I didn’t protect our child. I’ve punished the nanny severely. If our son knows this in heaven, he will finally rest in peace.”

I was terrifyingly calm.

At Margaret’s birthday dinner, I kidnapped her and dragged her to the rooftop of our eighteen-story penthouse, staring coldly at Daniel.

“I know you’re a dutiful son. You won’t bear to see your mother hurt, will you?”

“I’m giving you thirty minutes. If you don’t hand over the murderer who killed my son, I don’t mind letting your mother go down to keep him company.”

Daniel looked at me, disappointment written all over his face.
