Chapter 1 - THE GIRL WITH THE FLOWERSEvery morning, the little girl stood beside the busy street with a basket of flowers in her arms.

Her name was Lily.

She was only nine years old.

Her clothes were simple.

Her shoes were old.

But the flowers she carried were always beautiful.

“Flowers, ma’am?”

“Would you like a rose?”

Most people walked past her.

Some ignored her.

Others barely noticed she was there.

But Lily never complained.

She simply smiled and continued.

That morning, an expensive black car stopped at the traffic light.

Inside sat an elderly woman named Eleanor Hayes.

Eleanor was one of the wealthiest women in the city.

But despite her wealth, she had spent the last twenty years searching for someone.

Her daughter.

A child who had disappeared long ago.

Then Eleanor looked out the window.

And suddenly…

She saw something hanging around the little flower girl's neck.

A small golden heart.

Eleanor's entire body froze.
