The incomparable Dr. Frederick D. Rogers of Chicago General reveled in his work, his wife Dr. Yahneah Rogers, his wealth and his many medical successes. The power of his prestige and the control of a tightly clenched fist afforded him luxuries unparalleled.The beautiful Mrs. Rogers finds herself victim as her inability to bare children ignites an already smoldering fuse. It was the beast that lived within that had remained clandestinely under the guise of medication that allowed him to become the man that he has now become. It wasn't until the arrival of Frederick's younger brother, attorney Garrison Rogers, that Yahneah found an escape from the lies and the abuse, all the while, finding herself ensnared in an adulterous affair. Carolyn Elaine Simmons had become Frederick's place of fleeting consolation. She stood poised and ready to lick clean the wounds of the day and any battle scars reopened by Yahneah. Frederick felt that she completed his world since she was able to give him the one thing that Yahneah couldn't, a family. Love, however, was a thing of convenience and Frederick gave such when it was feasible and only for his gain. When love stood in the way of success Frederick would do anything to keep from giving into it, even murder. It wasn't until the birth of their children Carmon and Candace that Carolyn saw how repulsive Dr. Rogers could truly be and how dangerous she could become.
