Trap for Cinderella

Set in the modern day, with urban London life, modern medical care, and a high-stakes domestic thriller around a will and an inheritance. The narrative relies on present-day communication, hotels, and city life to anchor the tension.

The story moves between a contemporary London hospital and a family estate in the South of France. Key scenes unfold in Micky's hospital room, a guardian's home, and the old Elinor residence where a fire becomes a turning point. The geographical contrast underscores the preserved memory of a life split between urban Britain and a sunlit French retreat.

🧠 Memory

Memory drives the plot as amnesia and remembered moments reframe who Micky really is. The diary, photos, and Do's memories collide with what actually happened. The twist hinges on whether memory is a reliable guide or a trap that reshapes identity.

🎭 Deception

Two women mask their goals behind affection and care, using guardianship, illness, and staged pasts to manipulate outcomes. Julia and Do engineer a false life for Micky while scraping control of the estate. The plot plays out as a series of calculated lies that blur loyalties.

💰 Inheritance

Elinor's will exposes hidden family secrets and a fight over wealth and control. The estate becomes the prize that motivates betrayal, murder, and cover-ups. The pursuit of money reveals the moral cost of power.

💘 Love Obsession

Love in this story becomes possession and ruin when Do's fixation on Micky drives the conflict. Jealousy and the urge to control push characters toward dangerous choices. The obsession ultimately leads to deadly consequences and the erasure of genuine feelings.
