Chapter 5 - The Grand Inheritance Scheme
Four years ago, Evelyn had married Lukas believing he was a self-made corporate executive.
What she didn't know was that Lukas's family business was drowning in thirty million dollars of toxic debt. The Mediterranean mansion they lived in, the luxury cars in the driveway, and the fine china on the table were all funded by an advance from Evelyn’s late father’s estate.
