Ein Abkommen zwischen unseren Familien zwang meinen Verlobten Marco Corvini, mich zu heiraten. Meine Eltern waren tot. Seine Besessenheit galt Isabella Falcone, der Prinzessin unserer Rivalen. Am Ende verschlang Marco das Imperium meiner Familie und warf mich den Wölfen zum Fraß vor. Er präsentierte Isabella an seinem Arm wie eine Trophäe, die er gewonnen hatte. Zwanzig Jahre später lag ich auf meinem Sterbebett. Mein eigener Sohn – unser Sohn – hielt das Gift in der Hand. Er sagte, ich sei nutzlos, dass sein Vater die Macht der Familie Falcone brauche. Dann öffnete ich die Augen. Ich war zurück. Zurück am Tag meines Bluteids. Dieses Mal, um meine Familie zu retten, setzte ich nicht meinen eigenen Namen unter das Abkommen. Ich setzte ihren Namen darunter. Den von Isabella Falcone. Und ich? Ich nahm das Vermögen, das meine Eltern mir hinterlassen hatten, und verschwand. Dieses Mal würde ich nicht die Närrin sein, die sich für einen Mann aufopferte, der nie mir gehörte.
