Madeline Harlow, a 20-year-old  whose life seems pretty normal, attending classes, coming back home, rushing through deadlines and whatnot except that it's not.
Madeline was the daughter of Benneton Harlow, a leading businessman in the pharmaceutical industry until someone sued him leading his company into bankruptcy.

Benneton sighed and calmly stated as a matter of fact, ''It's yours and Liam's.''

As if not being able to accept what she had just heard, Madeline rushed to her dad, bringing the papers closer to him, ''Why did I even sign this!? And why him!?''

A knock on the door startled me. My eyes shot open.


''Madeline,'' came his voice, muffled but audible. ''I, uh… made breakfast.''
