LOGINJust before my college entrance exam, I was informed that my mother had died a horrible death in prison and that I needed to collect her body. But my father came to me with a demand—he wanted my mother to take the blame for his first love, Stella Shaw, for a second time. "Where's your mother? Stella accidentally injured a patient during surgery, and the patient died. Have your mother take the blame and go to prison for Stella again. Let those two prison sentences make up for the slap your mother gave Stella. "After this, I'll come back to our family for good and be there for you and your mother." Clenching my fists, I stared blankly ahead and murmured without even looking up, "Mom's dead." My father scoffed and had his men lock me inside a sauna. Gripping the remote with clenched teeth, he cranked up the temperature. Then he sent furious, threatening messages to my mother. "Harper! So, now you're teaching our daughter to lie to me?" "Let's see what kind of game you're playing! If you don't want anything to happen to Aria, show yourself now!" My entire body turned red, and my eyes grew bloodshot as I desperately pounded on the door, trying to explain and begging for help. But my father was too busy comforting his frightened first love to pay me any attention. Severely dehydrated, I let out a bitter, miserable laugh. 'Dad, Mom and I have paid for the woman you love with our two lives. Is that enough for you now?'

Fernando Colombo, 40 anos, é um dos pilares da temida Máfia da Trindade Italiana. Bem resolvido, leal e implacável nos negócios, ele vive por um código inquebrantável: proteger a sua família acima de tudo. Para Fernando, família é escolha — não apenas laço de sangue — e isso inclui seus irmãos Leonardo, o Don, e Fellipo, o Subchefe, suas cunhadas Samara e Cecília, e o jovem Lorenzo, seu sobrinho já mergulhado no mundo cruel da máfia.
Acostumado à liberdade da vida de solteiro e aos relacionamentos passageiros, Fernando domina o jogo da sedução com maestria. Na cama, é um dominador nato, e as mulheres que se entregam a ele experimentam um prazer que jamais esquecem. Mas ele nunca imaginou que poderia encontrar seu porto seguro... até que o destino cruza seu caminho com o de Isadora Ortega.
Isadora, 20 anos, é uma jovem espanhola de beleza estonteante e alma vibrante. Criada nos bastidores da máfia, ela sempre soube que liberdade era um luxo. Treinada para ser uma esposa troféu — obediente e desejada — nunca deixou de sonhar, dançar e buscar conhecimento. Seu mundo desmorona quando é sequestrada e abusada por Arturo, um monstro do submundo que a toma como vingança após seu irmão mafioso recusar um "acordo".
Agora, em solo italiano, Isadora tenta enterrar o passado e reconstruir sua vida. Mas em meio à escuridão, ela pode encontrar uma nova luz — e talvez, nos braços do homem mais improvável, a força e o amor que nunca imaginou merecer.
Uma história de redenção, amor e lealdade, onde a máfia dita as regras... mas o coração pode reescrevê-las.
Isadora Ortega, com seus 20 anos, é uma beleza irresistível, mas é também uma alma marcada pela dor. Criada no coração sombrio da máfia espanhola, ela sempre soubera que suas opções de liberdade eram limitadas. Seus dias, até o momento do sequestro, eram preenchidos com a dança que a fazia se sentir viva e com os sonhos de uma liberdade que parecia distante. Ela era filha de uma família de mafiosos, mas sua luz — sua paixão pela vida — sempre foi o que a manteve intacta, distante da crueldade que a rodeava.
Tudo isso desaba quando Arturo, um homem sem compaixão e de alma podre, decide destruir o que restava de seu mundo. Ela é sequestrada, humilhada e forçada a enfrentar os piores pesadelos, enquanto seu irmão, um mafioso sem escrúpulos, recusa a perder sua irmã. Nesse abismo de dor e desespero, Isadora perde mais do que sua liberdade — ela perde a essência da mulher que era, a inocência que jamais imaginou ser arrancada dela.
Agora, ela está na Itália, longe de tudo o que conhecia, sem querer retornar ao seu passado sombrio na Espanha. Mas há algo nas sombras do seu novo destino que começa a mexer com o seu coração quebrado — Fernando Colombo. Um homem perigoso, com olhos frios e uma alma marcada pela mesma violência que ela viu destruir sua própria vida. Ele não tem promessas a fazer, nem redenção para oferecer. Mas há algo em seu toque, em sua presença, que faz Isadora questionar se ainda é capaz de sentir algo além da dor.
Fernando é uma sombra viva, tão distante da luz quanto o próprio abismo que engoliu sua alma. Mas, ao tocar a vida de Isadora, ele acaba se tornando a única coisa real em um mundo desfeito pela crueldade. No entanto, o caminho deles não é de fuga ou salvação. É um caminho tortuoso, onde a paixão nasce das cinzas da dor e onde o amor, se é que pode ser chamado assim, é uma batalha constante contra os fantasmas do passado.
Em um jogo de poder e vingança, entre a perda de si mesma e a chance de recomeçar, Isadora será forçada a encarar a escuridão que sempre viveu e, talvez, encontrar no coração do homem mais implacável que já conheceu, a única coisa que ainda pode salvar sua alma — ou destruí-la de vez.
Black funeral banners fluttered throughout the hall.Photos of my mother and me hung at the front of the memorial hall.The moment my father saw them, he broke down all over again. His knees buckled, and he dropped to the floor.He scrambled toward the entrance, practically crawling on his hands and knees.However, just as he was about to enter the memorial hall, Zoe suddenly appeared and kicked him away from the entrance."Get out! Trash like you doesn't deserve to come in here!" she snapped. "Don't you dare bring your filth into this place!"My father did not get up. He curled up on the ground, his shoulders trembling continuously.At first, he sobbed quietly. But eventually, he could not hold back anymore and burst into loud, anguished sobs."Harper! Aria! I was wrong! I never should've locked Aria in the sauna! And I never should've refused to believe her! I'm a damn bastard!"As he spoke, he began slapping himself over and over. He kept going until his cheeks were red and
"Tristan, you bastard! Get out here! How dare you kill them both and then carry on like nothing happened? Get out here!"Zoe's eyes were bloodshot as she kicked open the mansion's front door.The moment she entered the living room, she raised the knife in her hand and started slashing wildly at my father.If the bodyguards had not restrained her, he would be dead by now.My father was so terrified he could not even speak. "Zoe! What the hell are you doing?"Zoe let out a cold laugh. "You want to know what's wrong with me? Harper and Aria are both dead because of you! Why wouldn't I be losing my mind?"My father frowned and snapped, "I told you, stop bringing up her death to make me feel sorry for her! I made sure Harper was taken care of in prison! How could she possibly be dead?"And Aria! She's taking the college entrance exam right now. She has a bright future ahead of her. Stop jinxing her!"Zoe was so furious she was about to start cursing him out again when my father rece
After hanging up, Zoe immediately tried to drag me outside, but she had been in the sauna too long and was becoming dehydrated. She no longer had the strength to move me.However much she hated Tristan, I mattered more than anything right now.She shouted toward the door. "Tristan! Get over here and help me carry Aria out! Tristan!"My father heard Zoe shouting from outside, and his temper flared.…What was Harper trying to pull now?Their daughter was sleeping just fine inside, yet Harper had insisted that Zoe open the door. Worse, she had tricked Zoe into going along with her lie that something had happened to their daughter.He could not understand why Harper was doing all this. Was it just to make him feel sorry for her and pay attention to her?Why would she have to say such terrible things about their daughter?Besides, he had already promised that once she got out of prison, he would fully return to family life.The thought that I had actually joined Harper in this
It was barely light outside, and the sauna was still dark.The moment the door opened, a blast of heat rushed out, but Zoe did not care. She charged inside, forcing her way through the scorching air. "Aria! Aria!"The moment Zoe stepped inside, the tears on her face evaporated.The heat turned her face bright red, and cracks quickly began to form in her skin, but even then, she pressed on without hesitation, desperately calling my name.She was so frantic that her mind went blank. It took her a while to remember to turn on her phone's flashlight.She waved her phone around wildly. The moment the beam landed on my face, she froze in horror.I lay motionless on the floor. The side of my body that had been against the ground was horribly burned.Blood and pus dripped onto the floor, sizzling as they fell.The other side of my body was hardly any better. My skin had cracked open all over, exposing raw, blood-red flesh. The extreme heat had evaporated the moisture from my exposed
