Lilian had no idea that because of a single plot of land, Skyreach Group was about to face a massive crisis; or that her carefully guarded identity had already been compromised.

Early morning at the Philips estate.

Eric, dressed in loungewear, sat at the dining table flipping through the newspaper. A steaming cup of coffee sat before him. The headlines were dominated by Cary’s removal from power.
