My daughter Emily, just seventeen, had a heart of gold. She wanted to change the world, much like her father, James, a Medal of Honor recipient who died serving his country. Emily was kind and brave, even standing up to Kevin Jennings, the mayor's son, when he bullied a disabled classmate online. Then, one cold night, Emily was gone. The doctor's words were flat: "Severe internal injuries. Hypothermia." The police officer's words were a punch: Kevin Jennings claimed Emily attacked him, and he'd acted in self-defense. They found my sweet girl beaten and left in the freezing rain. The powerful Jennings family immediately offered hush money, threatening to smear Emily's name if I didn't comply. The media, in their pocket, painted Emily as "aggressive," while online, I became a "gold digger" facing vicious attacks. When I tried to protest, Kevin Jennings himself publicly *stepped* on James's Medal of Honor, disgracing everything sacred to me. The system closed ranks, branding Emily's death "mutual combat." But I knew the truth. Emily's journal revealed she was trying to reason with a monster. This wasn't self-defense; it was murder, a brutal cover-up by the powerful. How could they erase my daughter's memory, twisting her kindness and trampling on her hero father's legacy? Broken and alone, I remembered a sacred promise James's commander, Colonel McGregor, had made: "His family is our family." Hundreds of miles away, he was my last, desperate hope. I packed my bags, clutched James's Medal, and drove out of that corrupt city. The Jennings family *would* pay. This fight wasn't over. It had only just begun.

Introduction

My daughter Emily, just seventeen, had a heart of gold.

She wanted to change the world, much like her father, James, a Medal of Honor recipient who died serving his country.

Then, one cold night, Emily was gone.

The doctor's words were flat: "Severe internal injuries. Hypothermia."

The police officer's words were a punch: Kevin Jennings claimed Emily attacked him, and he'd acted in self-defense.

They found my sweet girl beaten and left in the freezing rain.

The powerful Jennings family immediately offered hush money, threatening to smear Emily's name if I didn't comply.

The media, in their pocket, painted Emily as "aggressive," while online, I became a "gold digger" facing vicious attacks.

When I tried to protest, Kevin Jennings himself publicly *stepped* on James's Medal of Honor, disgracing everything sacred to me.

The system closed ranks, branding Emily's death "mutual combat."

But I knew the truth.

Emily's journal revealed she was trying to reason with a monster.

This wasn't self-defense; it was murder, a brutal cover-up by the powerful.

How could they erase my daughter's memory, twisting her kindness and trampling on her hero father's legacy?

Broken and alone, I remembered a sacred promise James's commander, Colonel McGregor, had made: "His family is our family."

Hundreds of miles away, he was my last, desperate hope.

I packed my bags, clutched James's Medal, and drove out of that corrupt city.

The Jennings family *would* pay.

This fight wasn't over. It had only just begun.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.
