Episode 4 - Spoiled by the Sterile Billionaire
Victor Bets Everything, Including Sophia's Mother's Car
Sophia comes home to cigarette smoke, card tables, and her uncle Victor's drunken laugh. He has gambled away everything, mortgaged Carina's car, and stolen Sophia's savings and her mother's jewelry. When debt collectors bang on the door, Sophia calls the police and gets the thugs removed. Victor isn't done. With Anna beside him, he drops the cruelest truth: Carina died in the hospital, and her body cannot be buried until the medical bills are paid. Marry old Henry Berg, he says, and the funeral gets paid. After they leave, Victor and Anna grin—Berg already wired them money and is waiting for Sophia to break.
Victor leaves whistling. Berg has already paid him, and a wedding contract is waiting with Sophia's name on it—how long before she has no choice?
