Outcast to Heiress

The Story

A massive explosion tears through a lakeside estate, sending thick black smoke billowing into the clear sky above a quiet European-style town. This sudden disaster occurs just as a young woman with loose pale-gold wavy hair is forcibly removed from her only home. She wears an oversized black structured coat and a dark-blue denim mini skirt, clutching a bright-pink rolling suitcase. Her knuckles blanch as she tightens her fists, holding back trembling unease. The cold, merciless relatives who raised her, including a senior matriarch holding a bouquet and three stone-faced men in black suits, publicly cast her out. Stranded on the sidewalk, she is left with nothing but her suitcase. She turns to leave, but the violent destruction of the property catches her off guard. She stumbles forward, disoriented by the shock of the event unfolding behind her.
