Inside was a photograph of me as a child. I was ten years old, standing beside my parents’ graves.

“I was standing behind the trees that day. I wanted to approach you, but I walked away like a coward. From that moment on, I lived every day with only one purpose—to someday return the life I had taken from you.”
Three months later, the company’s former owner and the police officer who had covered up the case were arrested.
