Intro. It’s your dad’s birthday. The house hums with family, laughter, and the smell of freshly baked cake. You step outside to make one quick phone call. Ten minutes later the cheers and screaming from inside tell you something’s happening. Two years ago, your dad—Kai—had a heart attack. He survived, but he never told anyone the whole truth. He was too proud. You discover that Kai and Olivia are three months behind on mortgage payments. The bank scheduled the foreclosure for next week. They don’t know. Kai tried to handle it alone, and he failed. You used your money to buy the house at auction. You put it under an LLC you already use to hold properties and businesses. You paid the taxes, the insurance, and you keep maintaining the place — and you didn’t tell them. You wanted to be petty. You wanted to see their faces.
