London was supposed to be freedom. A clean start far from the bruises, the shouting, and the father who made my childhood a nightmare. For two quiet years, I built a small, safe life with books, cold nights, and nobody to fear. But safety ends the moment danger knocks on my door. One unforgivable mistake. And suddenly I'm not just found by the devil in a suit-I'm sold. Straight into the hands of Antonio Rosa, the ruthless Don of New York. Antonio Ruling New York with iron fist, blood, and zero mercy has always been therapeutic. People don't hand me their daughters on a whim-they hand me their fear.

The man who couldn't care less about her. My leverage. My future wife in name only. Something pretty to destroy while the world watches and does nothing. But the moment she lifts her chin at me, all fire and defiance, I know I've made the most dangerous mistake of my life. Because I don't fall. I don't feel. I don't love. Yet here I am... losing control over the one woman I was never meant to keep.

Sedangkan adikku justru diabaikan di rumah ayah tirinya dan dilarang keluar rumah, hingga akhirnya dia meninggal karena depresi. Saat mengulang waktu kembali, adikku tiba-tiba merebut rokok dari tangan ayah dan memeluknya erat-erat seolah tidak mau melepaskannya. "Kak, aku kasihan sama ayah. Kamu pergi aja ke sana buat hidup enak, biar aku yang kasih nasib baik ini buat kamu." Ayah terpana sejenak, lalu dengan perasaan lega mengusap kepala adikku. Aku tidak mengatakan apa pun, lalu mengambil tiket kendaraan ke daerah pesisir itu. Tapi, dia tidak tahu kalau di kehidupan sebelumnya ayah bisa berhenti berjudi. Itu karena aku yang menderita tumor otak ini rela bekerja sampai muntah darah demi melunasi utangnya. Pakai nyawaku sendiri baru bisa membuat dia bertobat.

The Harris family is a wonderful family on the outside, but rotten on the inside. Savannah Harris, the oldest among four siblings, is labeled as the black sheep of the Harris Family. Her family owns one of the biggest company in Casterdale; SH Holdings. She’s a model and she’s totally uninterested with her family’s business, that is why neither her father or grandfather is fond of her. Her father wasn’t please when she was born, he was rather disappointed that the first born is a daughter and not a son. Since then, she’s the most disliked in the family. She’s been living her life recklessly and freely to rebel against her family, until she got pregnant by her bodyguard because of a one-night-stand and it became the huge turning point in the heiress’s life. The first thing she thought is her family’s reaction but unexpected twist started to happen.

“Do you feel that, Rose?” He asked in a gruff tone. “The effect I have on you is real. Don’t deny it. Don’t deny me.” Rose’s cheeks burned with shame, even though she pushed her bosom more into his hand, seeking the pleasure she knew he could give her. Then, she recalled that they were in a restaurant, and stilled at once, eyes wide, heart thudding wildly, and breathless. “We’re in a bar,” she told him, her protest sounding weak even to her own ears. “A desert one,” he chuckled. She turned around, and saw that the restaurant was indeed vacant, save for them, and Enzo and Stefan who were standing by the door, their backs to them. It was rush hour, and that couldn’t have happened, even if the food was terrible — and it wasn’t. She understood immediately that the divillish man sitting next to her, who starred in all her fantasies as of late, had ensured that they would have the privacy they needed. For a ruthless mafia boss, he sure could be considerate. ... ... ... ... When Rose meets a mafia boss on one of her night shifts, she thinks he is a peculiar and unpleasant patient whom she would do well to avoid... Little does she know that that encounter is but the beginning to a tumultuous passionate chapter of her life. Risking everything for the man shouldn't be an option... And yet, she soon finds herself caught in his web of sin, desire, and obsession.
