At thirty-four, Olivia was the brilli
ant architect behind the booming real estate empire of her husband, Daniel Hayes. Over five years of marriage, she had given up her own firm to design ultra-luxury resorts in Miami and Malibu, transforming Daniel into one of the most admired tycoons in the country.
They lived in a striking glass-and-steel mansion in the Upper East Side—her own creation, a masterpiece that symbolized everything she had built for him.
To outsiders, they were flawless. But even the strongest structures can corrode from within.
Everything began to fall apart on a quiet Sunday in April. Daniel left early, claiming he had an urgent meeting with investors in the Hamptons. Wanting to surprise him, Olivia decided to drive to their vacation home at a private golf resort. On the passenger seat sat the final plans for her most ambitious project yet—a two-billion-dollar eco-resort development in the Caribbean.
