เข้าสู่ระบบ“You murderer!” No A resounding slap followed those words from Katrina’s Mother-in-law. The entire extended family gasped in shock but no one made a move to help. Not even Katrina’s husband, Damon Winchester. He just stood there, watching lazily, like he always did while his mother berated her for every little thing. But this wasn’t little, no. This was more than the fine china dishes that were one of the family’s heirlooms which Katrina broke last thanksgiving and earned her harsh insults from her mother-in-law. This was nothing like the family dinner she made last Christmas that caused half the kitchen to catch fire, needing a renovation. This couldn't be compared to that afternoon in summer, when she knocked over an antique vase while dusting, freezing as it cracked clean down the middle and her mother-in-law murmured that Katrina’s touch spoiled anything of value. No. This was the death of the only woman who loved someone as unlovable as Katrina. The woman who raised her. The woman who constantly fought for Katrina’s place in the Winchester Family even when she didn’t belong. Alana Winchester, Damon’s grandmother. Like every other thing, it was all her fault. Everything Katrina touched turned to ashes.

Then very deliberately, he pulled his phone from his pocket.“I called you four times.” Katelyn cleared her throat.“And texted you eleven times.”“That sounds excessive
CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVEWHAT EIGHT YEARS FEELS LIKE**********“Where did the banana go?”Katelyn stood, in her hospital scrubs, in the middle of her kitchen holding an open lunch box while staring at it with visible confusion. Two minutes ago, she was absolutely certain she had placed a banana inside.But it had completely vanished and she would have missed it if she hadn’t cross checked the lunch box to make sure she didn’t miss anything. Katelyn slowly narrowed her eyes. Then she sighed.“Avery.”No response.Katelyn closed the lunch box slowly before calling louder in the exact tone every mother mastered eventually.“Avery!”Immediately, tiny footsteps padded toward the kitchen.A few seconds later, Avery appeared, fully dressed in her school uniform and looking suspiciously innocent.Katelyn crossed her arms slowly. Honestly, it was terrifying how adorable the child looked while clearly guilty. Avery blinked up at her mother with wide eyes. “Yes?”Katelyn lifted an eyebrow. “Have yo
CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOURFIVE MONTHS LATERThe first few weeks after discovering the pregnancy had felt unreal.Like living inside somebody else’s life.Even now, five months later, Katelyn still had moments where she would randomly stop whatever she was doing just to stare down at her stomach in complete disbelief.There was truly a tiny life growing inside her.

Sarah exhaled sharply through her nose before reaching for the porcelain teacup resting untouched on the table in front of her.The living room around her looked exactly how a Winchester home should look.Elegant.Expensive.Every single piece of furniture had been handpicked by the same interior designer that designed the Winchester estate.
