The old adage that "revenge is best served cold" held particularly true for Richard Gilbert's journey. At just ten years old, orphaned, he tirelessly worked to reclaim what was taken from his family. To achieve this, he skillfully infiltrated the life of his father's adversary's daughter, Meira Daniels. Meira, herself a victim of a devastating home invasion, found herself alone after losing her loved ones. It was during this vulnerable time that she met Richard, and an instant connection blossomed into love. They tied the knot within months, though she was unaware of his true background. Tragically, their happiness was short-lived. Richard's true intentions came to light when he left Meira and her children destitute, homeless, and penniless. Faced with no other choice, Meira reluctantly turned to Richard's former employer, who offered a lifeline for her children's sake. She accepted a proposal she couldn't refuse due to her children's well-being.
