Serena is nine months pregnant when the river accident claims Julian, and her own mother immediately tries to hand the baby to a man who will settle their debt. "This baby is dead weight," she says, "I'll get rid of it for you." Serena refuses: "I won't give up my baby. Please give me my daughter back." But the infant is taken, and the Veil family matriarch issues her order the same day: "That baby is the last direct blood of the Veil family. Bring them home now. Search the city — every station, alley, hospital, shelter." By morning the heiress is gone, and the only clue left behind is half of a heart necklace Julian had made: one half says come, the other says home.
On a rainy night a borough away, Frank Miller hears a newborn inside a dumpster. His housemate tells him to call the police and walk away, but Frank answers, "If I leave her here, she won't live through the night. Easy little one, you're not trash. You're a life." He names her Annie, applies to be her legal guardian, and tells the court, "Until the court says otherwise, this child has a roof, milk, and someone who will not throw her away." His own family calls it a lifelong burden; Frank simply says, "No child is a burden." Five years later Annie is five, riding on his back playing horsey, waiting for kindergarten.
When the company withholds what Frank's crew is owed, he and Annie take the bus to Veil Tower to collect it themselves — and that is where the two worlds finally collide. Annie knocks over a luxury vase worth a fortune, the Veil matriarch locks eyes on the child her family lost five years ago, and she announces, "If the other half of this heart necklace appears, I want to know immediately." Then Frank's leg gives out on the sidewalk, and the surgery deposit threatens to tear Annie away from the only grandpa she has. His answer never wavers: "I'd rather lose this leg than lose Annie."
