From the back cover

When her father-in-law gathers the family to divide seven newly built apartments, Clara expects her husband Arthur to fight for their share. Instead, every deed goes to his younger brother Leo, and Arthur claps, declaring he supports the decision completely. Clara is left seething as her mother-in-law insists the eldest son must yield and later carry the burden of their care.

At home Clara demands answers, but Arthur only asks whether she trusts him. He offers no explanation, no anger, nothing. Then, late one night, she catches him in his locked study, speaking quietly on the phone about paperwork being processed for both of them.

What is Arthur planning, and why does he keep his wife in the dark?
