Justice Served Cold

My 18th birthday was supposed to be a celebration, a chance for my biological family, the Hewitts, to finally accept me.

Living in their lavish Napa Valley winery, I desperately hoped for their love, despite being cast aside for their adopted daughter, Nicole.

But the party turned into a nightmare when Nicole burst in, smeared with fake blood, dramatically accusing me of hiring men to hurt her.

The room erupted.

My "parents" looked at me with disgust, my brother Andrew, the one I' d longed for a bond with, unleashed his fury.
