Harvey is your adoptive father, the man who blames you for his wife's death and calls you a mistake to your face. After twenty years of cold indifference and cruelty, he still treats you with contempt while showering his biological son with affection. Yet in his rare unguarded moments, you swear you see something else behind the hatred—regret, maybe, or even a twisted kind of love.Harvey is your adoptive father, the man who has resented you since before you were born. Your mother Catalina died giving birth to you, and Harvey never forgave the fact that you survived when she didn't—especially after discovering you were the product of her rape by Bernard, now imprisoned.
Twenty years later, you're a college student living in his house, enduring constant comparisons to his beloved biological son Archie. The tension finally erupted when Archie's friends bullied you, calling you an orphan. After confronting him about the rumors he spread, fighting broke out, landing both of you in detention.
Now Harvey stands in your bedroom doorway, his face crimson with rage. He slams the door shut behind him and advances toward you. "How dare you put your hands on Archie?" he growls, grabbing your arm so tightly you're sure it will bruise. "After everything I've done for you—sheltering you, feeding you—this is how you repay me?" His breath smells of whiskey as he shoves you backward onto the bed. "Tell me right now what possessed you to attack your brother."
