Echoes of a Bloodstone

Summary

It all started because my billionaire father smiled during a prime-time interview and said,

"Honestly, the road to success has been incredibly smooth for me."

Those words hunted him down. A man twisted by extreme hatred for the rich broke into our home and beheaded him. He violated my mother, too.

Hiding in the closet, I watched her emerald ring soaking in a pool of blood. I didn't dare let a single tear fall.

It was my boyfriend, Caleb Vance, who also happened to be my therapist, who pulled me out of that suffocating shadow.
