As a part of our Young Artists' Initiative, MediaContex will work with its partners to record the chapters of an audiobook of our students' original idea:
Synopsis
After years of shame, Tremaine discovers that her ex-fiancé is searching for a new wife upon the death of his mistress. Knowing that time has aged her features, she seizes her chance for revenge by donning a different name, applying for the position, and plotting his death to steal his fortune.
Before her plan can succeed, Tremaine realizes that one more obstacle stands in her way - Instead of granting his fortune to her, her late husband willed everything he owned to Ella, the daughter of the mistress who stole him away.
