Portia Sebring was born into a family that’s considered royalty in the intelligence community, and the fact that she’s a woman doesn’t preclude her from joining the “family business.” A linguistic genius, she’s recruited by her older brother to decipher Russian codes for the Venona Project. While at Arlington Hall, she meets Nigel Mann, a CIA officer known as Mr. Freeze, who’s been vetted to the NSA. Unbeknownst to Portia, her father is behind the meeting. Rumor has it that Portia, called the ice princess, is also a lesbian, and at this time in America -- the late ’50s -- it could negate any veracity to the codes she deciphers. A match with an equally cold man who won’t distract her from her work seems the ideal solution in her father’s eyes.<br><br>Things don’t go quite according to plan, as both Portia and Nigel develop strong feelings for each other. They marry and eventually start a family. However, the lifetime together they anticipate is cut short when Nigel’s jet crashes on New Year’s Day, 1978. Devastated, but with a thirteen-year-old son depending on her, Portia has no choice but to go on after Nigel’s death.<br><br>When Quinton, her son, is approached to join the US Equestrian Team for the 1980 Summer Olympics, she’s pleased and proud, but those plans are dashed due to the government’s boycott of the Games. To distract him, Portia takes him to France on a wine-buying trip, and it’s there that Quinton first feels an attraction for someone of his own sex. Portia, a wise mother, is aware, but since she herself had a same-sex affair in her early twenties, she’s very accepting of this.<br><br>Along with Gregor, her trusted bodyguard and devoted family friend, she watches as Quinton follows in his father's and her footsteps in the "family business," and finally finds a partner worthy of him, WBIS agent Mark Vincent. She’s happy for them, but sure that she won’t love again, since Sebrings have their “one” and she's lost hers, but is she right?

For eight years, I had a secret affair with my father's top Made Man, Paxton Hale. The day we were going to go public, my father sent him on a suicide mission. "Gia, wait for me. When I get back, I'll make you mine." For that promise, I waited five years. He came back with one less eye... and a new family. He knelt before my father. "Don Rossi, for my service on this mission, I ask for my freedom in return—a clean break." "I can't let Lila and our child keep living this life on a knife's edge." All eyes fell on me. They thought I would press a gun to their heads, force Paxton to marry me, and not stop until blood was spilled. But I simply slipped off my ring and forced it onto her hand. "Sister-in-law, my welcome gift to you." From a pool of potential allies, I chose the most powerful one for a marriage of my own. On my wedding day, Paxton took aim at my wedding car with a sniper rifle and called me. "Gia, if you dare marry him, I'll kill him."

Alex, my spouse, repeatedly ignored calls from our child, letting them go unanswered. "Father, Mother is hemorrhaging severely. Can you return promptly?" A series of messages were dispatched, finally eliciting a response. "Notify me when your mother has truly expired, and I'll come to retrieve her remains." Alex likely never anticipated my demise. His callous words became reality. I vanished, just as he'd foretold, but ultimately, he was left behind, imploring me not to depart, beseeching me not to abandon him.

In the fifth year of our relationship, she wanted to break up with me and be with her pure love who had returned from abroad. I didn't want to accept it, so I desperately followed her onto the cruise ship where she worked. At the moment of the ship's disaster, my girlfriend, a safety officer, held her pure love protectively in her arms. Meanwhile, I was struck in the head by flying debris and lost my memory. Later, I agreed to someone else's proposal, but she cried and begged me to remember her.

My daughter achieved an impressive 1570 on her SAT exam. That same day, my spouse took her to enjoy some time at the water park. In the evening, she phoned me at my workplace. She informed me that my husband had received a call from a woman during their return journey and left her at a roadside intersection. I urged her to leave the highway immediately, but just as I finished speaking, I heard a terrifying sound of impact. A truck had collided with my daughter. At the medical center, the physician explained she had sustained a critical head trauma, and only Dr. Stewart, the second-in-command at Center Hospital, could carry out the necessary operation. Dr. Stewart happens to be my husband. After numerous attempts, he finally answered his phone. "Our child has been in a terrible accident, please come and help her," I begged. "Have you lost your mind? You've invented this accident story just to get me back," he accused. "Aiden, hurry over here," I heard the voice of Maria, his former sweetheart, in the background. He ended the call abruptly. When I tried calling again, his phone was switched off.
