Allen's POV
I've never been one to give up easily. I've always gotten what I want by thinking carefully and making smart moves. But now, sitting alone in my study, I feel trapped.
My own daughter, Nina, has turned against me. She's abandoned me, leaving me vulnerable to attack. Her betrayal has started a chain reaction that's putting everything I've worked for at risk.
Everything I've achieved, everything I've fought for, is now in danger. But I'm not done yet.
Not yet.
I gazed out my office window, seeing the city lights twinkling far away. My business empire was falling apart, but I refused to give up. There's always a solution, no matter what. And if that means sacrificing someone else, I'll do it.
My wife, Nina's stepmother, has been a problem for a while. She was helpful once, but now she's useless. With all the evidence stacking up against me, I need someone to blame. Someone to take the fall.
That's where she comes in – the perfect scapegoat.
