When Dariusโs wealthy stepfather falls gravely ill, the outcome leaves Dariusโs mother, Jada, in a deep depressionโ and deeply dependent on Candice, an opportunistic writer friend who has less than her best interests at heart.

There, thanks to Candiceโs nosinessโand negligenceโhe discovers a shocking truth about the bombshell secret he has been carrying. His discovery, along with the arrival of his biological father, Darryl, sends Darius on a mission that includes a revealing visit to an ex-loverโฆ. As for Fancy, with Darius re-tracing his past and their wedding plans on hold, she decides itโs time to do some cleaning up of her ownโฆ
