Retribution in Bloom

My son was no longer with us.

His heart, while he still breathed, was cruelly harvested and given to someone of influence—Michele Finnen, the wife of Scott Langley.

Just because she had heart disease and was powerful, she sent people to snatch my son away.

As an orphan and now a single mother, my son was all the family I had.

He would curl up in my arms and whisper, "Mommy, don't be scared. I'll protect you when I grow up!"

He was the center of my universe.

Consumed by a seething hatred for Michele, I craved vengeance.
