The scandal at Fairmont Crest has reached nuclear level — and nothing will ever be the same again. What started as whispers in boardrooms and hushed conversations in dimly lit corridors has now exploded into a full-scale war of lies, power, and bloodlines.

In a jaw-dropping twist, Carlton’s darkest secret has been exposed… and only Leslie knows the full extent of the deception that’s about to obliterate everything Ted Hamilton has ever built. 

 THE SECRET THEY’VE BEEN HIDING
For years, Ted believed his daughter Eva was the last true heir to the Hamilton legacy. But behind the scenes, Carlton — Ted’s oldest friend and business partner — has been manipulating everything.

After Ted’s painful split from Nicole, Carlton stepped in under the guise of “comfort.” What Ted thought was loyalty was actually a carefully crafted seduction, part of Carlton’s long game to tear the Hamilton family apart from within.

“He was supposed to be my brother,” Ted confided to a close associate. “But all this time, he was after my family — and my life.”

 THE DNA SHOCKER THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING
The truth unraveled when Eva discovered her DNA file had been tampered with. A missing document in a forgotten drawer led her to a revelation no one could have imagined:

Carlton, not Ted, is her biological father.

Leslie was the only other person who knew. Together, she and Carlton had been keeping the secret buried — manipulating lab results, silencing anyone who came close to exposing the truth, and using their power to rewrite history.

“If the truth about Eva comes out,” Leslie warned him, “we both lose everything.”

“Then,” Carlton replied coldly, “we make sure it never does.”

 THE BETRAYAL RUNS DEEPER THAN BLOOD
But even as they work to hide their crime, cracks are beginning to show. Nicole is growing suspicious, sensing that Carlton’s “perfect charm” is rehearsed, while Ted’s grief has turned into determination.

Now, Ted is digging — through business records, phone logs, and financial files — unaware that the truth he’s chasing will destroy him more than any betrayal ever could.

And when Eva confronts Carlton herself, demanding answers, his mask finally slips. The man she thought she could trust becomes a stranger before her eyes.

 COMING NEXT ON BEYOND THE GATES:

• Eva makes a desperate move that puts her directly in Carlton’s crosshairs.

• Leslie begins to panic as Ted closes in on the truth.

• And Nicole… discovers something that could bring the entire Hamilton empire crashing down.

 Blood will be spilled. Secrets will surface. And the truth about Eva’s father will burn Fairmont Crest to the ground.
