Gregory was consumed by ambition—nothing mattered more to him than wealth and status, not even his own family. So when his son Alex fell for Allison, daughter of Gregory’s wealthy associate William, Gregory didn’t see love—he saw an opportunity. William approved of their relationship but required the couple to have a home before marrying.
Instead of investing in a home, Gregory schemed to evict his elderly mother, Lucy, from her cherished Victorian house, claiming it was for her safety. He placed her in a nursing home, promising visits that never came. Later, in a cruel twist, he told Alex Lucy had passed away, handing over the house to him and Allison under false pretenses.
But after moving in, Alex was haunted by a persistent barking dog—Walter, Lucy’s loyal companion. One night, the dog led Alex to a remote barn where he found Lucy barely alive. Gregory had abandoned her there, never returning with food. Alex rescued her, and Allison helped care for her.
When William learned the truth, he severed all ties with Gregory, leading to Gregory’s financial ruin. Alex, disgusted, cut his father out of his life.
Now, Alex, Allison, Lucy, and Walter live together in the very home Gregory tried to exploit—a place transformed into a haven of love and healing. In the end, Gregory lost everything to greed, while love and loyalty rebuilt what mattered most.
