Heir of Deception
Desperate to find a successor and preserve his legacy, creative tech billionaire Ethan Blackwood with a golden heart is devastated to learn he is infertile and unable to produce the child he so much wants with his wife, Olivia. Ethan investigates odd questions of old friend Marcus Holloway, a doctor. Marcus unwillingly chooses to conceive with Olivia, starting a series of events that would completely turn their lives around in unexpected directions.
As Olivia's pregnancy advances, secrets begin to slink between the cracks. At a well-publicized charity event, brilliant and tenacious investigative journalist Marcus's wife Elena Holloway overhears a conversation suggesting a horrible reality about the pregnancy Elena tells Olivia when she approaches her and leads Elena into a moral maze, and starts her to consider treason.
Olivia's therapist, Dr. Patel Chen, finds himself caught in the crossfire and must decide whether to give his patient the truth or morally hide his secret. Learning about the scandal, Ethan's idealistic young protégé Jake Thornton sees it as an opportunity to blackmail his boss for personal benefit.
After observing the tempest building inside her family, Marcus and Elena's bright daughter, Teenage Zoe Holloway sets out on her study journey looking for evidence that would contradict all she knows.
Worse, knowing about the affair, hostile rival computer millionaire Vincent Reeves seeks from inside to undercut Ethan's company.
As the lives of these linked people slide into anarchy and reveal secrets, the question remains: Can Ethan and Olivia's fragile dream overcome the truths threatening to shatter their world?
Is loyalty able to counter betrayal?
