Chapter 1

Christmas Eve, a night meant for celebration, turned into a nightmare for Natalie Shawn.

Kidnapped alongside her husband's mistress, Jennifer Simpson, she was left to her fate while her family chose to save Jennifer. Easton Garcia, the man she loved, pushed her down the stairs, ending her life and that of her unborn child.

As her soul watched her own lifeless body, Natalie found herself laughing at the irony. The family she had defended so fiercely wanted her gone.

In the days leading to her death, Natalie's brothers sacrificed her for Jennifer's sake: her face disfigured, her arms broken, her body wracked with poison, and her legs shattered.
