The Marshmallow Test

  SYNOPSIS: In the high-stakes world of the Sterling Group, three half-siblings are forced into a ruthless six-month contest to determine who will inherit their father’s billion-dollar empire.

Bella Harington, the manipulative eldest sister, sees the contest as her birthright and is willing to destroy anyone—including Riley—to seize the throne. Meanwhile, Kael Ashford, the brilliant but cynical middle child, plays the game from the shadows, driven by a dark secret regarding his mother’s death. When Bella frames Riley for corporate espionage, shattering her reputation before the contest truly begins, Riley finds an unlikely ally in Kael. They form a fragile alliance to expose Bella’s crimes and uncover the truth about their family’s past. But as they work together in the shadows, their rivalry turns into a forbidden love that complicates their mission. With time running out and their father’s health declining, Riley and Kael must navigate a web of betrayal, blackmail, and family secrets. In a final showdown, they must decide if their love is strong enough to overcome the legacy of hate they were born into, or if the fight for the crown will destroy them all.
