My husband, Charlie Branch, died, leaving behind two million dollars in debt. I didn't hesitate to take on his debts, but my best friend, Callie Doyle, was freaking out. Back then, Callie convinced me that since Charlie left me with nothing, there was no point in paying off his debts. So I signed away my inheritance, declared I had nothing to do with anything he left behind, and tried to dodge the debt. But the debt collectors wouldn't let me off the hook. They kidnapped my son and forced me to pay. Watching as they mailed me my son's fingers, one by one, my heart felt like it was being torn apart. In just 24 hours, I begged every relative I had, but all I managed to scrape together was 35 thousand dollars. In the end, my son died a horrible death, and those lawless debt collectors sold me off to Kagash. Then, Callie suddenly claimed her son was a billionaire's illegitimate child, and he inherited billions of dollars. It wasn't until I saw on TV that I realized the billionaire was my husband, who'd died unexpectedly, that everything finally made sense. Charlie had been pretending to be broke all along. Callie's son was really his secret child, and all the inheritance I gave up ended up in their hands. Unwilling to accept it, I tried to escape back home to settle the score with Callie, but I died under the electric fence of a slave camp in Kagash. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day Callie tried to convince me to give up my inheritance.
