Her Son Works for the Man She Destroyed

On the day of his baby sister's one-month celebration, a father and his infant daughter are struck by a car, and the children's mother—a woman worth hundreds of millions—pulls every doctor away to save her first love instead, leaving them to die. Framed and thrown out of the house, the surviving child grows up to become Mr. Swanson, head of a ten-billion-dollar empire.

Twenty years later, at his company's annual review, his assistant praises an intern named Abner Sullivan. Seeing the family names on the file, Swanson hands out full-time contracts to the other interns—then pushes a termination letter across the table to Abner. When Abner protests and invokes his mother, Kay Sullivan, Swanson refuses the Sullivan Group's partnership outright.

Abner's father, Bill James, storms in demanding a management post for his son, and his daughter Yvette Sullivan threatens to have her mother shut the company down. Swanson, who remembers the rainy night he lost his father and sister, tells them to send Kay his regards—and orders a full file on Yvette.
