Assim que engravidei, fui aclamada como a mulher mais preciosa do submundo. Meu marido, o novo Don da família Jenkins, fechou uma ala inteira de um hospital particular para meus exames, enquanto meu pai, o Don dos Collins, convocou todos os chefs com estrelas Michelin de Nova York para a mansão, apenas para que eu pudesse escolher o que desejasse comer. O bebê que eu carregava estava destinado a ser o único herdeiro das duas mais poderosas famílias mafiosas. Mas no dia em que iríamos assinar os papéis garantindo a herança do meu filho, os dois desapareceram. — Surgiu um assunto familiar urgente. — Disse meu marido, Vincent, beijando minha testa. — Podemos finalizar a herança da criança quando voltarmos. Não há pressa. Pouco depois que eles partiram, recebi um link para uma transmissão ao vivo anônima. A voz do meu pai veio do vídeo, mais fria do que eu jamais tinha ouvido. — Você está dizendo que seu contrato de casamento com Evangeline nunca foi válido. Isso não torna a criança uma bastarda? Vincent, relaxado em um clube, soltou um anel de fumaça. Acomodada em seus braços estava minha meia-irmã, Sarah. — Evangeline sempre teve todo o amor e carinho. Seu filho nunca vai precisar de nada. — Sarah foi ridicularizada por seu status durante anos. Preciso consertar as coisas para ela, dar ao nosso filho um nome legítimo. Naquele momento, meu coração se apertou, e eu mal conseguia respirar. Então meu celular vibrou novamente. Era uma mensagem de texto: [Bem-vinda ao lar da família Gallo, minha rainha.] [Só me confirme, e a criança que carrega terá o nome Gallo e se tornará o herdeiro mais poderoso do submundo americano.]

My love story with my Don husband was once the model relationship for couples all across Edale. But after his sudden death, the notary informed me that I was not the first in line to inherit his estate. I froze. Christian Fuzio was an only child. His parents had long passed away. We had no children. If I wasn't the first in line, then who was? That was when the boy walked in. His face was a perfect copy of Zoe Sgotti, Christian's assistant. The boy crossed his arms and sneered. "Mrs. Fuzio, the person my father loved most in his life was my mother. Of course, most of the inheritance belongs to us." Rae… Ray… Only then did I realize that the name he had whispered on his deathbed was never mine. I lunged forward to question Ray, but he shoved me into the traffic. The moment my head slammed against the ground, darkness swallowed everything. When I opened my eyes once more… I stared at my young, strong hands. Feeling the life that I had once lost growing inside me, I finally understood that I had been given another chance. Christian, this time, I no longer wanted your fake love. I would grant the three of you all the happiness that you wanted.

I suddenly got a call from the police, telling me I was involved in an abandoned baby case. My best buddy was holding me up as we rushed to the scene when Shirley Dunn, the girl who had asked me for directions last week, suddenly pointed straight at me. "That's her. I saw her this morning, holding her stomach, going into the restroom! Now the baby's been born, and her belly's flat!" I was completely stunned. Before I could react, she shoved the newborn straight into my arms. "This is your own flesh and blood! How could you abandon him?" The officer's expression was equally severe. "Miss, I understand that becoming a mother at 20 can be scary, but abandoning a baby is a crime. If you didn't want to raise a child, you shouldn't have had one." More and more college students gathered around, their stares stabbing into me like needles. Cold sweat soaked my back. My best friend suddenly burst out laughing. "Congrats, man! You're a dad now!"

In the third year of my marriage, I endure a full day of painful labor to give birth to my first child. However, my husband steals the baby to give to his true love. I try my damnedest to stop him, but all I get is a barrage of insults. "It's just a baby! I'm the one who planted the seed, so I get to decide who gets the fruit!" I'm overwhelmed by grief as I watch my husband leave. However, he shares a happy post on his social media. "Mother and daughter are safe." His true love comments, "Thank you for giving me a child, Jaspie. I'll be the happiest woman in the world with you two by my side." Clueless friends bless them and wish them well. I silently comment, "Give me back my child." All I get is another round of insults. Then, I'm blocked. I don't want to endure this anymore. I hire a lawyer to draft divorce papers before making a police report. "Officer, I want to report my husband for child trafficking."

Passei toda a minha vida vivendo à sombra da minha irmã, Juliana, a mulher que todos no círculo dos herdeiros da máfia adoravam e protegiam. Ela não fazia ideia de que eu havia renascido. Assim como na minha vida anterior, ela sorriu de forma doce e gentil, insistindo para que eu escolhesse meu noivo primeiro, fingindo ser atenciosa e generosa. Mas, desta vez, eu recusei. Na minha vida passada, acreditei ingenuamente que ela tinha boas intenções. Casei-me com o homem que ela recomendou, Chester Kane, um herdeiro que diziam estar paralisado após uma emboscada. Abandonei meu direito de herança para me tornar sua cuidadora, seu apoio e remédio contra a solidão. No entanto, não importava a quantidade de carinho que eu desse, o coração dele permanecia congelado. A verdade só veio à tona durante a celebração da gravidez da minha irmã. Quando um assassino de uma família rival apontou a arma para a barriga dela, o homem que não se levantava havia anos subitamente ficou de pé. Ele me empurrou direto para frente do cano. As sete balas atravessaram meu útero. Enquanto eu caía, vi-o puxar minha irmã para seus braços, protegendo-a com o próprio corpo e tomando o último tiro por ela. Só então entendi. Ele nunca esteve paralisado. Sua família nunca o havia abandonado. Ele fingiu estar doente porque o coração de Juliana pertencia a outro homem, e ele se recusava a ficar preso a mim. — Desculpe, Tania. — Ele disse. — Eu menti para você. Mas eu não podia deixar Juliana perder o herdeiro que ela carrega. Vou pagar o que te devo na próxima vida. Quando abri os olhos novamente, estava de volta ao dia em que meu pai pediu que escolhêssemos nossos parceiros de casamento. Desta vez, eu não escolhi ninguém. Mas, naquela época, eram eles que imploravam pelo meu amor.
