Heart of Stone: Her Revenge Unleashed/VictoryAnne Vice
[Addison]Today, my son Jayson turns 6 years old. It’s not every day that my child turns 6, so I worked extra hard to make it special. It meant squeezing a whole day of work into two hours so I could rush home, prep his favorite meal, and ice his cake. But when I see his smiling face, it will all be worth it. “Mrs. Stone,” the crossing guard., Mrs. Jenkins greets me as I approach my son’s school. “What’s the occasion? This wouldn’t be for a special little gentlemen’s special day?”Her eyes sparkle as she looks up at the balloons in my hands, and looks down to see my knee-length, rhinestone dress that floats from my waist like a cloud of cotton candy. “Well, it isn’t every day Jayson turns 6,” I smile back at her. I never dress like this, preferring the practicality of a smartly tailored suit and the simplicity of a face clean of makeup, but Jayson always wanted me to be like “the other mommies,” who wore fancy jewelry and sparkling dresses. “I thought I’d be a princess for him to

[Addison] It is hard to keep my smile from cracking as Michael approaches, but somehow I manage to keep my expression sunny as I make my way over to my family. “Addy,” Michael looks a bit out of breath as he reaches over and places a hand on my shoulder, looking up at the balloons with a frown. “Why are you here? I thought you had a new case to work on.” “I promised Jayson we’d have a special day,” I grin down at my son, who is clinging to the woman’s hand, not meeting my gaze. “So I shifted things around. I told you about this last week and...” “It’s fine, it’s fine,” my husband interrupts, “I just wasn’t expecting you to be here is all. I was in the neighborhood when I learned that my old friend,” he smiles at Evelyn as if they were indeed old friends instead of bitter ex-lovers, “had just come home from her time overseas and was interviewing at a few places nearby. I thought…” “Mommy, why are you ruining my birthday,” Jayson hisses up at me, his small face red with anger. “

Heart of Stone: Her Revenge Unleashed/VictoryAnne Vice
[Addison]What was happening three months ago when I didn’t notice my husband sneaking off with our son to have adventures with his “old friend?”My heart sinks like a stone as I remember. I was in Brooklyn taking care of my sick grandmother, arranging for her nursing care. I was gone for three days. Every night, I called home to say good night, no matter how tired I was. Never once did he mention Evelyn. If I hadn’t shown up today when I did, would he have ever let me know she is back?I send a text with a quick snapshot of the photo strip. I type the word “explain.”Sitting there, staring at the screen, waiting for a response, my head tips back and I lean against Jayson’s bed. My body feels heavy so heavy that I close my eyes.When I open them again, the room is dark, the phone vibrating against my chest waking me. I must have fallen asleep because the clock now reads 6 pm. “Michael!” I open my phone hurriedly only to discover a text from an unknown number. Tapping the screen, I o

Heart of Stone: Her Revenge Unleashed/VictoryAnne Vice
[Addison] My little boy looks even smaller in a hospital bed with an IV attached to his arm. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Stone, but your son’s condition is serious. He is suffering from an intense allergic reaction,” the Doctor’s face is grim. “If he had gotten here an hour sooner, we could have prevented the severe dehydration. We were lucky this time that the reaction wasn’t worse.” “Worse?” My voice warbles as Michael looks away, unable to my gaze. “How much worse?” “If he had developed anaphylaxis, he’d be dead,” the doctor’s tone. “You’re lucky his heart didn’t stop on the way here. As it is, he’ll need to remain in the hospital for 24 hours for observation.” Our son could have died, all because my husband couldn’t bear to disappoint his ex-girlfriend. Michael volunteers to pay the bill and grab the new prescription for an emergency epi-pen. “I’ll be back soon, I promise,” he kisses the top of my head before rushing out of the room as if the sight of our sick son could chase him dow

Heart of Stone: Her Revenge Unleashed/VictoryAnne Vice
[Addison] The door to the car clicks open. An expensive Italian loafer is followed by the pinstriped leg of an elegant and sophisticated man. He towers over me, at least 7 inches taller and twice as wide, his strong arms and shoulders barely contained within the jacket of his well-tailored suit. From the Rolex at his wrist to the studs in his ears, and the ring gleaming on his hands, everything is diamond bright, as sharp and fine as the cut of his square chin and the angle of his high cheekbones. “Excuse me,” his smooth voice, deep and rich, rumbles through my body, as he removes his sunglasses and looks at me with eyes so blue they appear almost black. “I can take her from here.” Holding out his hands, his cold facade melts as he looks at the little girl with such love and concern that I find myself melting as well. But she doesn’t go to him, she clings to me even tighter. “Mom,” the little girl murmurs, burrying her head into my chest. “I found my mommy.” “You little monst
