Barbara and her sister Linda had always been at odds, but their rivalry reached a new level of intensity when a DNA test revealed shocking revelations about the paternity of their sons. The test showed that Barbara's son Lawson was actually the biological child of ex-husband Casey, while Linda's son Irvin was not the son of Casey as she claimed. After the DNA test revelation, Casey pleaded to Barbara to forgive him, accusing Linda of tricking him to marry her all for her selfish gain for the family inheritance. After long consideration Barbara accepted him back This discovery set off a bitter feud over the family's substantial inheritance. Linda, desperate to secure her share, hatched a sinister plan to eliminate her sister. One morning, as Barbara was driving to work, she was ambushed by Linda's hired hitmen. They forced her out of her car and shot her , leaving her bleeding on the side of the road. Miraculously, passing Good Samaritan witnessed the attack and rushed Barbara to hospital. Doctors worked frantically to save her life, extracting three of the bullets, but one remained lodged precariously near her ribs. The trauma of the assault, combined with the severe head injury she sustained in the fall, sent Barbara into a coma. While Barbara fought for her life, Linda seized the opportunity to manipulate the inheritance, exploiting her sister's incapacitation to claim the lion's share for herself. Barbara's devoted husband Casey remained by her bedside, praying for her recovery. After years in the coma, Barbara miraculously regained consciousness. Filled with a renewed determination, she set out to reclaim what was rightfully hers, engaging in a fierce legal battle against her conniving sister. The sisters' conflict escalated, with both of them willing to go to extreme lengths to secure the family's wealth and legacy.

Just as her thoughts spiraled into uncertainty, she saw him—Casey. His presence was like a thunderstorm on a clear day, bringing with it the promise of anticipation."Casey! What a surprise!" Linda attempted cheerfulness, her voice wavering slightly. But the way his dark eyes swept across the living room, scanning each corner as if searching for something unseen, suggested that this visit was anything but benign.He stepped inside briskly, acknowledging her wife Linda with only a faint nod before his attention turned to Barbara and his Inlaw who are seated at the dinner table. “Hey, everyone,” he managed with a forced grin that didn’t touch his eyes.

Linda left the police station with her heart heavy, cradled like a fragile crystal. The sterile scent of the building lingered with her, mixed with the bitter aftertaste of betrayal. She thought back to the tense faces in the lit interrogation room where accountant Henry had been taken into custody—his eyes pleading, weaving a mixture of guilt and innocence as they darted between the officers and her own unyielding glare. How had it come to this? A simple accounting discrepancy had spiraled into a full-blown investigation Linda assume, throwing their family’s reputation—and Linda's very being—into chaos.As she made her way home, the traffic lights flashes in an incessant rhythm, but she barely noticed.

The hum of the office buzzed with the muted conversations of detectives and the beeping of printers. Hayes sat at his cluttered desk, sifting through yet another stack of reports relating to petty thefts and neighborhood disputes.
