Encounter(1)

Calix White stared out the window as he remembered what happened three years ago.

Calix was in Las Vegas having a fun stag weekend when he received a call that changed his life completely. His fiancée, Sophie Allen was involved in an accident. He didn't know how or when but the next thing he knew, he was looking at the unrecognizable body of Sophie. She was burnt to death.

His smile, his happiness, his jovial nature and his sense of humor all died with Sophie.

Calix was depressed for months and decided to just end it all by commiting suicide. He was he the process of taking his life when he received a call from Dave Allen, Sophie's brother that Sophie's death wasn't an accident but a murder.

At that very moment, it was as if Calix had found a reason to live. He became extremely determined to get justice for his late fiancée.

He had been looking for his fiancee's murderer for the past three years and today, he finally got an information that Sophie's murderer had been found.

Normally, one would expect Calix to be happy. After three years of futile search, the murderer had been found but this information was coming from Calix's uncle, Marcus White.

A greedy old man whose entire life is centered on the basis of 'give and take'. This is normal for all businessmen but Marcus takes it to a whole new level.

The White family is one of the most powerful and influential family in the country.

Their power and influence isn't just centered in the business sector but also in the political sector as well.

In the White family, it is all about who has the most power. Elias White, Calix's grandfather has three sons. Marcus, Gentry and David.

As we all know, the heir to throne is supposed to be Marcus White but that isn't the case.

The throne of the White family could belong to anyone depending on how much power they posses which is why the White family is like a battlefield of gladiators fighting for power.

Right now, Calix is in control of majority of the family's business. He holds majority of the power in the White family and is the potential heir to the throne of the White family and Marcus White is aware of this which is why he made it his life's mission to find out who killed Sophie so that he can get something from his nephew.
