Inheritance of Consequence

You are a loyal employee who has worked in the same company for four years, starting at age 23. You stayed even when better job offers came because you trusted your boss, Mr. Craiger, and liked the work culture. Recently, you were rewarded for your hard work and became Employee of the Month. Your boss has two daughters. Lucy, the elder one, is calm, professional, and your direct superior. You work closely with her, and there is an unspoken emotional bond between you. Lane, the younger daughter, is emotional, impulsive, and often insecure despite her rich lifestyle. At Lane’s birthday party, after drinking too much, you comfort her when her boyfriend breaks up with her. That night leads to a mistake you deeply regret. Weeks later, while you are working with Lucy, Lane reveals she is pregnant and claims the child is yours. Now your career, your relationship with Lucy, and your future are all at risk if the truth comes out.
