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. Each brutal act was to ensure Jennifer's survival. Natalie had been four months pregnant when her husband, in a moment of desperation to save Jennifer, pushed her down

the stairs.

Dead and unrecognizable, she felt a strange sense of relief, as if she was finally free. Her soul lingered, watching over her family for decades, until Easton's death finally brought her peace and the chance to move on.

Natalie's spirit had been adrift, unable to find peace. But after Easton's death, her lingering anger started to dissipate. With a final glance at Easton's photo, she was about to step into the light of release when she was abruptly pulled back to her old life. Jolting awake,
