After Our Daughter's Death
Samantha Granger's daughter, Celine Hamley, was critically ill and urgently needed a bone marrow transplant from her biological father, Calvin Hamley.
But the man Celine called Dad was busy building a castle for his first love's daughter and lighting up the entire city with fireworks for her birthday.
Samantha made call after call, but when Calvin finally picked up, he said, "I'm busy."
Then the phone went dead.
In the end, Celine's hand went cold, and she died. Calvin didn't even see her one last time.
Samantha walked out of the funeral home with an urn.
Every LED screen downtown was playing a birthday celebration video.
The three people who had trampled over Celine's life were smiling, singing the birthday song, and dreaming aloud of a beautiful future.
Samantha had once loved Calvin with everything she had. Now, she hated him just as much.
