Mais Lorenzo, le roi des ombres, les attend au bout du chemin. Le face-à-face est violent, chargé de haine et d'un amour perverti.

On the day that was supposed to be my wedding—the bride wasn’t me. The ceremony I’d waited for five years for turned into a joke when Valentina, my sister, walked down the marble aisle in a white wedding dress. Her arm was linked with Luca’s — the man who was supposed to be waiting for me at the altar. “I’m sorry, Bianca,” she said softly. “But you are no longer the bride today.” Then she touched her stomach, eyes gleaming with triumph. “I’m pregnant with Don Romano’s child.” Her words detonated inside my skull, and the whole world went silent. As if afraid I wouldn’t believe her, she lifted something glossy up towards the light. A black-and-white ultrasound image. It read clearly: Gestational age — 12 weeks. My eyes burned, tears stinging as I turned to Luca, desperately searching for anything—a denial, an explanation, regret. Instead, he only sighed, weary and resigned. “Bianca, I’m sorry.” he said helplessly. “Valentina doesn’t have much time left. This wedding… it was her last wish.” “I’ll make it up to you,” he added. “We can have another wedding later.” My father, Moretti, stood behind him, wearing the same stern expression he’d worn my entire life. I have never seen him smile at me, not even once. “Bianca,” he said sharply, “Your sister is dying. Let her have this.” My brother nodded without saying a single word, as if that was enough to be a solid answer. All my life, they had chosen her—her tears, her whims, her needs—over mine. Today was no different. Something inside me quietly cracked. Fine. If no one in this family cares about me, I’ll leave.

I once thought I would spend my entire life in love with my husband, Vincenzo, the Don of the De Luca family. In the end, our whirlwind romance was no match for a childhood promise. On the day Vincenzo went through with a sham marriage to his childhood sweetheart, Chloe, to honor a blood oath, I destroyed the penthouse we had filled with memories and left his city for good. When Vincenzo used the family's entire intelligence network and still couldn't find me, the untouchable Don was driven mad. Later, he offered a worldwide bounty for any information on my whereabouts and even publicly begged me to come back. Too bad for him, I already wore another man's ring. Vincenzo, nothing waits for you forever. Especially a love you strangled with your own hands.

Nagluluksa si Amara Alcantanra sa burol ng kaniyang ina habang abala ang kanyang asawa sa pagdiriwang ng kaarawan ng unang babaeng minahal nito—punong-puno ng kasiyahan at engrande ang selebrasyon. Klarong-klaro ang lahat kay Amara. Kung hindi siya mahal ng lalaki, ayaw na rin niya dito. Iniwan niya ang kasunduan ng diborsyo sa ibabaw ng mesa at piniling ipalaglag ang dinadala, at lumakad palayo nang mag-isa. Limang taon ang lumipas. Sa isang marangyang subastahan, lumitaw ang chief auctioneer nakasuot ito ng isang hapit na makabagong Filipiniana na backless, may mataas na slit sa hita, at natatakpan ng puting belo ang kanyang mukha. Lahat ng mata ay kusang tumigil sa kanya. Napasimangot si Argus De Luca, bahagyang nanliliit ang mga mata. "Ang pangalan niya'y Reina?" Tumango ang kanyang assistant. "Yes, Sir. May nabalitaan rin akong minsan may nag-alok ng sampu-sampung milyon kapalit ng pagkakataong makita ang tunay niyang mukha pero tinanggihan niya." Sa wakas, natagpuan na ni Argus De Luca ang babaeng matagal na niyang hinahanap sa loob ng limang taon. Kinagabihan ay hinarang niya ito sa isang kanto. "Auctioneer Reina, hanggang ngayon ay tinatakbuhan mo pa rin ako o mas tamang sabihin kong Amara?" "Argus, hiwalay na tayo." "Hindi ko kailanman sinang-ayunan 'yon. Nasaan ang anak ko?" "Mukhang nakalimot ka, Argus… ikaw mismo ang dahilan kung bakit nalaglag ang bata, limang taon na ang nakalipas!" Ngunit ngumisi si Argus, at may inilantad sa harap niya. "Kung gayon, ipaliwanag mo ito." Triplets na limang taong gulang ang nakatayo sa harap nila.
