Tanya Colbert was pregnant at fifteen. After the baby was born, Tanya named her Reyna. Tanya had several different men in her life and had various jobs, but other challenges faced her. Tanya decided to change her lifestyle and become someone. After some disappointing jobs, she became a receptionist at a local hotel. There she and Reyna encountered Oliver Paducah, his wife, and his son, the son being the same age as Reyna.

Corbin Oliver Paducah inherited Paducah Software Development LLC from his father. Oliver's wife and Corbin's mother, Regina, was from a prominent family in Atlanta. Regina was something of a snob. Years later, Corbin took over the company, building a multibillion-dollar business. After graduating from Harvard, Corbin married Reyna Colbert, who also graduated from Harvard. Corbin and Reyna had two sons, Patrick and Paxton. Patrick became a surgeon.

Paxton, somewhat a radical, realized his potential after graduating from college and started work in his father's company. After unexpected events, Reyna Paducah had to hold the businesses together.
