Chapter 1 - The Sunny Entrance
The funeral home chapel was dead silent, filled with white lily floral arrangements and gleaming white marble floors.
In the center of the room sat a small, pristine white child casket. Beside it, a stuffed rabbit rested quietly on a wooden stand.
Kneeling on the cold marble floor was Clara, an early 30s woman with dark wavy hair, wearing a black lace dress. Tears streamed silently down her pale cheeks as she clutched a framed portrait of her five-year-old daughter, Chloe, tightly against her chest.
Suddenly, the double entry doors swung open. Bright, blinding sunlight streamed into the dim chapel.
Arthur walked in nonchalantly, wearing a colorful floral casual vacation shirt and light trousers. Arm-in-arm beside him was Beatrice, his late-20s blonde secretary, dressed in a sparkling champagne gown and a silk shawl, carrying a luxury shopping bag.
Arthur grinned smugly, adjusting his sunglasses as he looked down at his weeping wife.
