Before You Go

"As you were leaving, did I miss anything that might have eased your heartache?" asked Lewis Calpadi, his words echoing the complexity of the situation Maria Crawford faced. A young accountant, only 23, saw her five-year relationship with the wealthy and privileged Dominic Payne crumble under the weight of economic disparities. The drama escalated when a body was discovered in Dominic's car, reigniting emotions as Maria dedicated herself to proving his innocence. Fortunately, she had a steadfast best friend, Zack Osborn, a talented lawyer known as the best in their state. Unfortunately, their friendship carried a past - Zack had received a bruised cheek at the hands of Dominic's powerful mother. Despite his lingering animosity, moved by Maria's plea, Zack reluctantly agreed to represent Dominic, all while struggling with his personal feelings. In this high-stakes case, would a naive accountant like Maria risk everything, including her own safety, to bring the truth to light, or would she emerge unscathed from the whirlwind of secrets and lies?
