Chapter 1: The Innocent Sentence That Changed Everything
The elegant family dinner was supposed to be a celebration.
Crystal glasses sparkled beneath the golden chandelier. Expensive dishes covered the long marble table. Everyone smiled as they congratulated Emily, the youngest member of the family, on her pregnancy.
Nobody expected a five-year-old girl named Lily to become the center of attention.
