At my graduation party, I met Colton Ferraro. I fell for him, hard and fast. I gave him everything. Then he sent a video link to my father's phone: "Dr. Sweeney, I took this. It's everywhere online now." After that, he disappeared.

Only then did I understand—he'd gotten close to me only to destroy my father. His sister had fallen into a coma after a surgery my father had performed. My father was suspended, his career ruined. The shock was too much for my mother; her cerebral aneurysm ruptured, and she died in the hospital.

Eight years later, Colton Ferraro became my boss.
