Arthur Whitmore had everything the world could admire.
A billionaire empire.
A mansion overlooking Los Angeles.
A name powerful enough to open any door.
But behind the glass walls and endless success, Arthur carried a wound no one could see.
Three years earlier, he lost the love of his life.
His wife died suddenly, leaving him alone with their four-year-old daughter, Lily.
From that day forward, Arthur stopped living for himself.
Every decision.
Every investment.
Every sacrifice.
Was for Lily.
Then Victoria entered their lives.

She knew how to comfort Arthur.
She knew how to make Lily smile.
She knew exactly how to appear like the mother figure the little girl needed.
Everyone told Arthur he was lucky.
But nobody noticed the way Victoria looked at Lily when Arthur wasnât watching.
Nobody noticed the coldness behind her perfect smile.
Except Lily.
And one night, the little girl whispered something that would change everything.
âDaddy⊠I donât think Victoria likes me.â
Arthur smiled gently.
âYouâre imagining things, sweetheart.â
