Alison

Three years have passed since 66-year-old businessman Timothy Ford's will was read. The result shocked everyone. His 25-year-old daughter, Allison, inherited everything: two copper factories, two luxury homes, a yacht, expensive cars and his entire fortune. His 20-year-old son received only $5,000 and one final message. "My son, I started my life with five thousand dollars. Build your future the way I built mine. I believe in you." Then the lawyer revealed Timothy's final condition. "Miss Ford, you must never help your brother financially. If you do, you will immediately lose your entire inheritance." Allison froze.

Now twenty-three, dressed in a simple black uniform, he calmly pours red wine into her glass. Their eyes meet. With perfect courtesy, he says, "If you need anything else this evening... I'll be happy to help." Then he walks away as if she were a complete stranger. Her friends notice nothing. But for Allison... ...it becomes the hardest dinner of her life. The next morning, carrying three years of guilt, she drives to a tiny apartment in one of Orlando's poorest neighborhoods...
