Chapter 1 - The Accusation at Dinner
Four-year-old Emma stood on top of her wooden dining chair, her small knuckles white as she squeezed her worn stuffed rabbit against her chest. Tears overflowed down her red cheeks, but her shaking right finger pointed straight across the table.
"She's a monster!" Emma cried out, her small voice trembling through the silent room. "She locks me in the laundry room!"
Everyone at the dinner table froze. Warm chandelier light glinted off the polished wine glasses, casting quiet shadows over the modern open dining room.
Vanessa sat across from the little girl in an elegant silk dress. Her styled blonde hair framed a face that instantly shifted from a warm, gentle smile into a twitching mask of pure panic.
"Daniel, that's not true!" Vanessa stammered, her voice rising fast as she turned toward her husband. "She's just imagining things! She's making up stories again because she doesn't like me!"
Daniel Mercer sat at the head of the table in his casual sweater. His face remained calm, but his posture went stone cold. He slowly turned his head toward his new wife, his sharp blue eyes locking onto her with a terrifying, silent stare.
