How will Vienna keep her distance from the one man she’s forbidden to be with when she’s stuck on this cruise with him?

“Yllena, come here!” masayang bungad ng kaniyang asawa ng makapasok siya sa opisina nito. Nakita niya ang pagsilay ng matamis na ngiti sa labi ni Grae, ang kaniyang asawa. Lumapit siya dala ang isang sobre na naglalaman ng resulta ng kaniyang utrasound nitong umaga. Tamang-tama ito dahil ngayong araw ay unang anibersaryo ng kanilang kasal. Habang siya ay papalapit ay papalakas ng papalakas ang pintig ng kaniyang puso. Magkahalong excitement at kaba dahil alam niyang matutuwa ang asawa. Ilalabas na sana niya ang laman ng sobre ng bigla itong magsalita. “Evie’s back.” Biglang nanuyo ang kaniyang labi at natuod siya sa kinatatayuan. Ibinalik niya ang papel sa sobre. “I want a divorce, Yllena. Siya ang mahal ko,” dugtong nito. Ni hindi manlang inisip ni Grae ang mararamdaman ni Yllena samantalang simula pa lang ay alam na niyang mahal siya ng babae. “Oh sige,“ tipid niyang sagot. Mabilis pa sa ala-kuwatrong inilahad ni Grae ang Divorce Agreement papers para pirmahan ni Yllena. “Here, naayos ko na agad. Pirma mo nalang ang kulang!” masaya nitong sabi. Pinunasan ni Yllena ang luha at nanginginig na pumirma. Parang dose-dosenang punyal ang tumarak sa puso niya. Parang kating-kati ito na makasama ang babaeng 'yon? Bumalik si Yllena sa pamilya ngunit ng gabi ding ‘yon ay itinakwil siya. Dahil sa bigat at sakit ng kaniyang kalooban ay huminto siya sa tulay. Bumuhos ang napakalakas ng ulan. Nais na niyang wakasan ang lahat ng biglang may humawak sa kaniyang kamay at sapilitan siyang inilayo sa kamatayan. Hinila siya nito papasok sa kotse. Nuon lang niya namukhaan ang lalaki. “Lucerys? Lucerys Montblanc,” sambit niya. “Yes, I am. Death is not the answer, woman, but rather revenge,” kunot-noo nitong sabi. “Make him pay! Join me, Yllena!”dugtong nito.

Evelyn "Evie" Moretti never wanted to be part of the mafia world. The daughter of a disgraced underboss, she’s spent her life dreaming of freedom—a life far away from the violence and betrayal that destroyed her family. But when her father’s debts to the powerful Romano crime family spiral out of control, Evie is forced to pay the price: an arranged marriage to Don Alessandro "Alessio" Romano, the ruthless and enigmatic head of the Romano family. Alessio is as cold as he is handsome, a man shrouded in darkness and driven by a thirst for revenge. From the moment Evie meets him, it’s clear that their marriage is no love story.
