The top-tier charity auction in Manhattan is about to begin when my boyfriend’s stepsister spots a pearl necklace she likes. Wanting to buy it as her birthday gift, my boyfriend reserves a bidding seat. But due to a mistake by the organizers, the seat had actually been reserved by someone else before he booked it. An elderly lady dressed plainly says the seat is hers, yet they show no intention of yielding. I force my boyfriend to give the seat back to the woman. But Amy storms out in a fit of anger. That night, gunshots echo through the neighborhood. A stray bullet hits her, and she bleeds out on the spot. He calmly arranges her funeral, yet still keeps his promise and marries me. Soon after, my father dies in what is ruled an accident. On the day of my father’s funeral, he storms into the church with his men. Looking at me kneeling before the coffin, he smiles arrogantly. “Olivia, this is what you owe Amy! If you hadn’t stopped me that day, the seat would’ve been hers! She wouldn’t have run out in anger, and she wouldn’t have been shot! Let me tell you something—your father was killed by me. And now it’s your turn!” Right in front of everyone, he shoots my younger brother—who had been kneeling beside me, begging for mercy—dead with a single bullet. His bodyguards pin me down and drag me out of the church as I watch helplessly, his blood pooling before my father’s coffin. When I open my eyes again, my boyfriend is glaring angrily at the waiter, about to explode. What he doesn’t know is that the plainly dressed old woman in sunglasses is the mother of the current Don of the most powerful Mafia family in New York—the Morretti family. And that Don is famously devoted to his mother.

Estuve ocho años con un hombre divorciado. Nos separamos noventa y cuatro veces y nos divorciamos cinco. Una más, y sería la número cien, pero me cansé. La primera ruptura fue la noche que le entregué mi primera vez: dejó todo a medias porque su ex lo llamó para comprar pan. La quinta, cuando me abandonó embarazada en plena carretera para consolar a esa misma mujer. Tuve un accidente, perdí al bebé… y él llegó después, desarreglado, como si nada. Y aun con todo el dolor que me causó, nunca tuve el valor de dejarlo del todo. La última vez que nos divorciamos fue por otra razón absurda: su ex y su hijo participarían en un programa familiar, y para cuidar la imagen de familia feliz, volvió a divorciarse. Cuando el show terminó, me llamó para hablar de reconciliarnos. Pero esta vez dije que no… porque ya había decidido casarme con otro.

I was in love with him for five years—until he pushed me into the fire with his own hands. I thought I had simply fallen out of favor, but I was wrong—he married the girl he’d grown up calling his “sister.” During the month I spent in the hospital, he never came once. When I finally returned home, I saw her sitting on his lap, smiling sweetly. And me? I was nothing but the “gold digger,” the “shameless outsider” in his eyes. It wasn’t until I turned my back and took the Alpha throne of the Bloodmoon Pack that he went mad, chasing after me, tears streaming down his face. “I broke off the engagement,” he cried. “Just come back—we’ll get married right now!”

Adeloiza, daughter of the CEO and the supposed to be heiress of a company was forced to be married for the sake of salvaging their company from bankruptcy. As headstrong as she is, she refused to get married and as a result, was schemed by her stepmother and sister. She was drugged and was locked in a room with the man she is supposed to marry. Unknowingly, there was a mistake in their plan and locked her in a different room. She ended up sleeping with a different man overnight. She was driven out of her family after knowing she lost her chastity by some unknown man. She lost her privilege of being the successor, was shamed on by her father and was abandoned. Helpless, she went away. 5 years passed she came back with a bean sprout in her embrace. The only problem is that this little bean sprout suddenly started screaming at a man surrounded by bodyguards,” Hey you! Be my Daddy!”

It wasn't until one night when Alex showed up at my doorstep that I finally opened up to him. I told him everything, about the drug business and Johnson's proposal. I could see the pain in his eyes as I explained everything to him. He begged me not to leave him, but I had made my decision. I knew that it was over between us, and I couldn't risk him getting involved in my family's mess. As he left that night, I could feel my heart breaking into a million pieces. I knew that I had to marry Johnson and put an end to this nightmare, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I was making a huge mistake. Deep down, I still loved Alex, but I couldn't let my emotions cloud my judgment.
