She begged Head Mistress Cleopatra to let her be one of the comfort women in the auction just to have a huge sum of money for her mother’s operation. She sold herself and surrendered her virginity to the mysterious man that had an alias of Don Apollo, who bought her for one billion pesos just a night, and they went to his mansion to have sex. But she put in her mind that after that night, she would run away, and never crossed-paths again with the mysterious man who claimed her virginity, and accidentally got her pregnant. But little did she know that she was carrying inside her womb the babies of the mysterious man who wasn’t just an ordinary powerful man, because he was a Mafia Lord named Orion Dio del Sole that would hunt her, and make her life upside down.

Too bad Gabby doesn’t do submissive. With a foul mouth, street smarts, and zero patience for bullshit, Gabby decides to flip Seraphina’s life on its head. She’s done playing the victim. If Damian wants a trophy wife? Too bad. She’s about to become the most scandalous, fearless, and powerful woman in his world. What Damian doesn’t know is that the fragile wife he ignored just became the woman who will ruin or save him—and maybe, teach him how to love.
