In this gripping first chapter, we are introduced to the luxurious Willson family villa, brightly lit for the grand 70th birthday banquet of Mrs. Willson, the family's formidable matriarch. The evening is filled with lavish gifts from grandchildren and in-laws, each vying for her favor. Amid the celebrations, Charlie, the family's scorned live-in son-in-law, makes a shocking request for financial help to save his dying benefactor, Aunt Lena. His plea is met with scorn and disdain, revealing the deep-seated tensions within the family. As Charlie faces humiliation and rejection, an unexpected encounter with Stephen Thompson, a figure from his mysterious past, promises to change his fate with an offer too grand to ignore. Will Charlie accept the fortune that comes with a bitter history, or will he find another way to save his savior?
