Cuando llegó el momento de intercambiar los anillos en la boda, mi prometido apenas podía pronunciar el «sí, quiero». Todo porque un antiguo amor había publicado que volvía a estar soltera justo una hora antes. La foto que acompañaba el anuncio era la de un boleto de avión. Su llegada estaba prevista para dentro de una hora. De pronto, mi hermano se adelantó y, sin más, anunció frente a todos que la boda se pospondría. Los dos, bien organizados, me dejaron plantada ahí, en medio de todas las miradas, convirtiéndome en la burla de todos. Yo me mantuve tranquila, mientras veía cómo la exnovia de mi prometido actualizaba su Instagram. En la foto aparecían mi hermano y él, junto a ella, dándole todo lo que se suponía que era para mí. Sonreí con tristeza, respiré hondo, y marqué el número de mis verdaderos padres. —Papá, mamá —dije—, estoy lista para volver a casa… y aceptar el compromiso con la familia Moulin.

“Kau pikir bisa kabur, sayang?” Seringaian dingin pria itu membekukan darah Livia. Bukan senyum kekasih—melainkan milik raja iblis yang siap menelan dunianya. Kabur dari perjodohan yang membelenggu, Livia justru jatuh ke tangan Alessandro De Luca—bos mafia kejam yang namanya saja bisa membuat para penjahat kelas kakap gemetar. Bukan perlindungan yang ia dapatkan, tapi kurungan tak terlihat yang jauh lebih mencekam dari perjodohan mana pun. Di balik jas mahal dan mata tajamnya, Alessandro menyimpan rahasia kelam yang mengancam hidup siapa pun yang mencoba melarikan diri. Kini, hidup dan kebebasan Livia bergantung pada satu hal: apakah pria itu akan melepaskannya... atau justru menjadikannya miliknya selamanya?

Renacida como la heredera perdida de los Rogers, estuve perdida por quince años, evité cada oportunidad de crear lazos con mis dos hermanos en esta familia. Cuando me tiraron el vestido desechado y mal ajustado de Vivi para la gala familiar, sonreí y me lo puse. Cuando enviaron a Vivi a recibir una educación de élite mientras me ordenaban fregar el cuarto de servicio, tomé el trapeador sin decir una palabra. Cuando dejaron que Vivi buscara el amor y me dejaron a su pretendiente rechazado, no luché. Acepté sus sobras con un gesto tranquilo. Todo esto era porque en mi vida pasada, había pasado toda mi existencia desesperada por la aprobación de mis hermanos, solo para terminar siendo despreciada por todos. Cuando morí en el fuego cruzado de un tiroteo entre bandas, mi propio hijo empujó mi cuerpo con asco. —Mamá, ¿de verdad desperdiciaste toda tu vida en una pelea tan insignificante con la tía Vivi? Morir por la familia hubiera sido un final más digno. Al menos así no habrías deshonrado nuestro nombre. Dejé este mundo llena de resentimiento, solo para abrir los ojos y encontrarme de vuelta en el momento en que puse un pie por primera vez en la mansión Rogers. Esta vez, he terminado de luchar. El poder, el nombre y el honor. Les dejo que lo tengan todo. Ya me aceptaron en un proyecto médico a puerta cerrada. Pronto no volverán a verme.
