Yet, her world is turned upside down when she receives some interesting information, the girl she is helping is none other than her very own daughter, who was given up for adoption twenty years ago.

Shelia takes D’Shamar in, providing her with a place to stay. However, she decides to keep the truth hidden from her. As they live together, Shelia gradually tries to learn about D’Shamar’s interests, hobbies, and preferences. Unfortunately, Terrance discovers the truth about their secret daughter, leading him to permanently leave their marriage.
