Chapter 1

Though petite, they had filled her world with love.

Her grief left her empty and lost.

Meanwhile, the world kept spinning, with the internet buzzing about her husband and his "first love" and their baby on the

Her hatred for Antonio Kaufman ran so deep that her final wish was, "Antonio, may our paths never cross again."

Clutching the urns of Kate and Talia, Grace started humming hollowly, "Twinkle, twinkle, little star..."
