The DNA results were a shock. Emily felt a jolt of exhilaration, followed by a burning desire. Her biological father, a man she’d never known, owned a successful tech company. She felt a burning need, a constant thirst that had been with her for so long.

She immediately researched the company, studying its financials, its market share. She learned everything she could. This was more than just a family connection. It was an opportunity.

She secured a meeting, pretending she had only just found out the information. She charmed her way into the meeting and met him. She saw the potential for a new life. As she listened to him talk about the company, she mentally calculated the company’s worth. She saw herself in the corner office. She saw herself with everything she'd ever dreamed of. Her palms were sweating.
