Chapter 2 — The Bracelet From The Past
"Where did you get that?" the woman whispered.
The little girl looked confused.
"My mother gave it to me."
The entire ballroom froze.
The woman slowly lowered herself to the child's level.
"What is your mother's name?"
The girl hesitated.

The people who destroyed her life.

The woman's eyes hardened.
"Who is your father?"
The girl whispered:
"Alexander Whitmore."
