Five Cradles, Four Graves

# Five Cradles, Four Graves Vera has given her husband Ethan Cole five babies in six years, and buried four of them. She believes it was tragic bad luck — until the morning she overhears Ethan on the phone. The children were never meant to live. He fathered them one after another only to find a bone marrow match for Mia, the daughter of the woman he truly loves, Selena Ross. If baby Noah had not matched, he would have been discarded too. Vera hides her grief and begins a long, cold revenge. A single strand of Mia's hair proves the girl is Ethan's blood. A hidden camera captures his affair. A flash drive lifts the recordings he kept of what he did to her children. She lets him build his company toward its public listing, then detonates everything on the day he stands proudest — the murders playing on the screen behind him before a room full of reporters. Ethan is dragged away in handcuffs. But Selena, the real architect of it all, takes Noah to a warehouse for one final reckoning. In the end, both Ethan and Selena are sentenced to death, Mia turns on the parents who used her, and Vera walks free with her son and the company — and a last letter of regret she does not bother to answer.
