Stranger in my home

Everyone knew Adriana Stone had four children.
No one knew about the fifth.

"Do you think she's coming to rescue me out of love?" Sia asked, hugging the stolen cactus in her arms.

The officer stayed silent.

"She doesn't have love," Sia continued. "I'm pretty sure she feeds on fear and quarterly earnings."

Adriana Stone.

Billionaire. Ice Queen. A woman who could destroy companies with one signature.

A woman who raised four children with everything she had.

And abandoned one.

Fifteen years later, one phone call changes everything.

Kunal Kapoor is arrested.

And the daughter Adriana left behind becomes her responsibility again.

Except Sia Kapoor is nothing like the children she raised.

"You need discipline," Adriana said.

Sia popped a momo into her mouth.

"You need a momo."

Sia talks back. Breaks rules. Names a stolen cactus Fernando. And turns every peaceful moment into complete chaos.

Adriana fixes problems.

But Sia refuses to be another problem on her list.

"I made it onto Adriana Stone's to-do list," Sia said. "Huge achievement."

"Sia-"

"What's my category? Business? Emergency? Random disasters?"

Adriana thought bringing her daughter home would be simple.

Rules. Structure. Control.

But Sia Kapoor doesn't need another person trying to fix her.

She needs someone to prove she wasn't the child everyone forgot.

Because everyone knew about Damien, Veda, Victor, and Rose.

The perfect four.

Nobody knew about Sia.

The forgotten fifth.
