GoodReadWithout waiting for Alexander, Quinn hailed a cab alone, setting her course for the Kennedy Residence.
The evening mist hung heavy over Amber Bay, blurring the cityscape and shrouding every structure in a veil of
obscurity.
Upon her arrival, she purchased sfruit from a street vendor, a preemptive peace offering for Kaitlyn, who
she knew would likely remain unsatisfied with her visit.
The Kennedy Residence buzzed with life that day, the driveway and curb teeming with cars. Wayne and his ex-
wife had a daughter, Valerie, who had married into another wealthy family.
She had now arrived with her husband and two children in tow. Alexander and Freya, siblings born to Kaitlyn,
were also present. There was an additional member of the family, a younger son that Wayne had brought into
the fold.
The boy's mother had tragically died in childbirth due to an amniotic fluid embolism, and he had been raised
under the Kennedy name. Kaitlyn, who had been primarily responsible for his upbringing, had treated him with
less concern as he wasn't her own, allowing him to grow up without much direction or discipline.
As Quinn stepped through the door, the sound of children's play echoed through the halls. The innocent laughter
of the children pierced her heart, stirring a tender ache within her.
She stood in the courtyard, unsheltered, as the scene unfolded before her. Suddenly, a seven-year-old boy
charged into her legs, causing her to stumble and nearly fall. "There's Dummy! There's Dummy!" The boy circled
her, chanting "Dummy" with the unsullied candor of youth, oblivious to the pain his words might inflict.

firm.
Upon entering the villa, she could feel the tension thick in the air, stirring the bitterness within her own chest.
She clutched the bag of fruit, her heart heavy with a mix of pain and resentment. 'Why do they get to be so
happy? Is it because I'm a dummy that my two kids died at the hands of these people? Because I'm a dummy,
I'm guilty. | deserve no happy ending," she thought bitterly. The boy, still fuming, bared his teeth and tugged at
the bag, even going so far as to kick Quinn in the leg.
With a swift movement, Quinn let go of the bag and sidestepped his kick, causing the boy to lose his balance and
topple over.
Fruit scattered across the ground, rolling in the mud. The boy, hurt from the fall, sat on the damp ground and
began to wail.The boy's cries caught the attention of the adults in the living room. Valerie rushed over, helping
