I finally became pregnant after my husband and I underwent over a dozen rounds of IVF. However, to my horror, I discovered that the embryo growing inside me was the fertilized egg of my husband and the family maid. They even schemed to have me disappear so that the child could inherit everything. I pretended not to know, carried the child to term, and took care of him, raising him with love and care. It was not until 20 years later that they forced me to sign a share transfer agreement by my hospital bed, along with a divorce agreement that left me with nothing. "After 20 years, we finally have our happy family. You never saw this coming, did you? The child you fought so hard to give birth to is my biological son!" Even my son, without any remorse, said, "Honestly, your illness is beyond help. It'd be better for you to just die." With a knowing, almost bittersweet, smile I replied, "For your happiness, I'm willing to do whatever it takes."

Sent to Briarwood, Pennsylvania, to establish a new seat of power for the Vittori Crime Family, Saint Vittori is tasked by his father, Dominic, with stepping out of the shadows after two decades of quiet survival. To secure his position, Saint is expected to marry strategically—choosing a woman who can strengthen the family’s influence. Instead, he falls in love with someone who offers no power, no connections, and everything he was warned against. When her unknowing betrayal shatters his trust and she later reveals she is pregnant, Saint is bound by ironclad family law: no Vittori heir will be born a bastard, and no Vittori marriage will end in divorce. Forced into a union forged by duty rather than certainty, Saint tightens his grip on Briarwood just as old enemies resurface.

Alongside his loyal best friend, Wilder, he wages a brutal campaign to cleanse Briarwood, expanding into legitimate enterprises while silencing threats both criminal and political. As Senator Bryce Winthorpe learns too late, Saint Vittori always moves with a plan. Through bloodshed, loss, and calculated violence, Saint carves his place among Pennsylvania’s elite—knowing that every inch of power comes at a cost, and the Vittori family always collects in blood.

I was the heiress switched at birth by a nanny. It was not until I turned eighteen that my biological parents finally found me, and traded me back for the girl they had raised and loved as their own. However, fate played a cruel joke that very same week. My parents died in a car accident. The family business collapsed. In one night, I lost everything. My older brother survived, but his kidneys failed. I did not hesitate. I gave him mine. However, grief broke something in him. Blaming me for our parents' deaths, he spiraled into madness. "You killed Mom and Dad! Why wasn't it you who died instead?" he screamed. I gave up college and took on three jobs a day just to pay for his treatment. Years passed. One day, while cleaning a mansion as a housekeeper, I saw her, the "sister" I was traded for, gliding through a lavish party, dressed in designer clothes and dripping in jewels. I froze when I heard the voices I had long thought silenced. My parents, alive, speaking to her as gently as ever: "Jasmine, you're so compassionate… agreeing to end Helen's punishment early." My brother, the one who should still be seeing a therapist, frowned and objected. "No. Not even a day less. Just because she suffers a little doesn't mean she deserves to live." I glanced down at the medical report still warm in my hands. For the first time in years, I smiled. "Perfect," I whispered. "Now I can finally die like I wanted to."
