Chapter 1: Cammy Watson
[~Song Recommendation: Everytime by Britney Spears~]
'I have to hurry. Dylan is waiting for me back at home,' Camilla Watson-Veston told herself inwardly as she gripped the steering wheel of her car late at night.
The sound of raindrops on her car's roof echoed the storm within her heart. Tears streamed down Cammy's face, and the car felt like a sanctuary of grief as she clutched the urn containing the ashes of her twin children.
The weight of the container seemed to magnify the void left in her life, a reminder of the irreplaceable loss and sorrow she had endured in the past few weeks.
Cammy whispered, addressing her departed darlings, "It's okay, my loves. We will reunite in Heaven someday. What matters is that you are free from pain." She wiped away her tears, preparing herself after reaching her destination.
She parked outside the back entrance of their vacation home in the countryside to place the urn of her newborn babies. Her husband had built a small columbarium at the very end of their property where his parents and brother's ashes now lie.
She wanted to do it alone, to say goodbye to her twins without her firstborn son, Dylan, seeing her cry. To her surprise, her husband's car was already parked within the property, and the lights in the living room glowed warmly.
"Hmm, perhaps Duncan spoke to one of the maids, and they informed him I'm on my way here," she mused—a sense of relief washed over Cammy as she saw that her husband was finally home.
Just a month ago, she had given birth prematurely while Duncan was overseas, addressing court issues related to her father's business... Problems that her mother caused.
While their marriage had faced difficulties over the years due to Duncan's drinking and suspected womanizing, he had never abandoned her or her family. He continued to support them and help resolve the problems within her father's company to salvage it from the verge of bankruptcy.
Placing the urn on the console table in the living room, which she intended to retrieve later, she spoke to the ashes of her twins, "I'll go fetch Daddy so we can bid you both farewell."
