He Spared My Parents’ Killer

As a forensic pathologist, Sylvia performs her first autopsy on her own murdered parents. While she lies bedridden with fever, her fiancé Richard, the lead prosecutor on the case, argues in court for a reduced sentence, securing a lenient involuntary manslaughter conviction for the killer.

After the trial, Richard brings the killer's nineteen-year-old daughter, Jillian, into the bridal home Sylvia's parents bought for the couple, promising to sponsor her education. Jillian's tears hide a look of pure provocation, and Richard insists Sylvia be the bigger person. When Sylvia refuses, he reveals that his name alone is on the deed, leaving her with no right to turn Jillian out.

Sylvia cancels the engagement and leaves for her forensic institute dormitory, then dials Rowan, a ruthless senior partner at a top-tier corporate law firm.
