She was in a car with them when it happened and to save her, her mum threw her out of the moving car while both parents were killed in the crash. After the police investigation, it was discovered that their car was tampered with. The only evidence left at the scene was a half broken apple necklace which Irina took as a clue to find the murderer. For this reason, her grandmother sent her to Philadelphia to stay with a friend of hers. Irina started living a life directly opposite from her silver spoon upbringing. When she came of age, she got entangled with Daniel, a guy she met at her waitress job, whom she fell in love with and planned to marry after taking her revenge. For a year, they both dated and lived together, and she planned to reveal her identity to him and also propose herself since he'd shown her love more than she was expecting. She then left for New York to her company that was in charge of her trusted friend and Personal Assistant, Bella Simons, for a party the latter was hosting. No one had any idea Irina was the boss because any contract to be signed was done by Bella. Irina only posed as Bella's friend.Bella had invited Daniel and Irina over together but Daniel gave an excuse of working, so Irina came alone in Philadelphia. At the party held at a hotel bar, they celebrated the company contract and all got drunk. After the staff left to their designated rooms prepared for guests at the party, Irina was alone and then the alcohol began to take its toll until she couldn't take it anymore. Somehow, she went into the wrong room and got entangled with another stranger who appeared to be drunk too in the room and they had s*x. By the time she woke up the next morning, she thought the person she slept with was Daniel. She was surprised that he hadn't called her and so she rushed to his home only to see that he'd celebrated their one year anniversary with another woman!The woman is none other than Bella Simons! Since Bella knew she was keeping her identity, she decided to use it against her. She warns Irina not to do anything funny or else she (Bella) would make sure the whole world knows she is the billionaire heiress. Daniel was then boasting about landing a contract with Jerkins international. Bella was sure Irina wouldn't do anything like telling the whole world she's Irina Jerkins. INCITING INCIDENT Driven with this anger, she left the house to reclaim her seat as the CEO of Jerkins international, regardless if she'd found her parents' murderer or not, regardless of whether she had now put her life in danger for whosoever killed her parents. Even though her grandmother's advice to still hold on, she refused to hide anymore. The next week, she appeared at the company as the CEO, shocking Bella who thought Irina would still be pretending. Bella claimed Irina had signed off half of her ownership rights to her. This devastates Irina when she is faced with the evidence, but she refuses to let that hold her down. She vowed to Bella that she would take back that half that belonged to her.However, after she claimed her spot, an illumination to the darkness of her parents murder appeared. A multi million dollar gold company that was ruled by Eric Rowling wrote an invitation to collaborate with Jerkins international. On the first meeting with Eric Rowling, she saw the other half of the apple necklace she had on his neck.
