When I was ten years old, I sold my mother to human traffickers. My father calls me an ungrateful monster, a devil. He sues me 99 times, but each time, I am found not guilty because I am under 14. In the end, on his way to bring my mother home, he is beaten to death by the men in that village. 20 years later, my younger sister finally brings our mother—now unable to walk and mentally unstable—out of the village. She starts a livestream and breaks down in tears. "I beg the internet to put my devil of a sister on trial. Don’t let her get away with this! She destroyed my family. I will make sure she loses everything!" But only I know… My mother deserves it.

He falls in love with Valentina, a dhampir hunted by the same vampire Parliament that destroyed his life.

And some fights are worth losing everything

On New Year’s Eve, a poolside party was held at the hospital. There, my fiancee Valerie Charlton’s medical prodigy junior colleague, Cyrus Zeigler, drew the wildcard in a party game. His task was to select a woman from the attendees and enact an explicit scene in front of everyone. He scanned the crowd, and his gaze landed on Valerie. “Valerie, you’re about to get married. I know I can’t have you. So let me have this one time. Okay?” Valerie’s eyes welled up, and she was about to nod. I scoffed and tossed the unsigned medical equipment purchase contract onto the table. “You’d better think carefully. Either he gets lost, or your family’s hospital shuts down for good. Your choice.” Cyrus glared at me angrily when he saw that Valerie was torn with indecision. “Is it that Mr. Everest can’t take a joke? He’s already controlling everything you do before the wedding. After you get married, he’ll probably keep you in a cage.” Valerie calmed down. Then, she turned to me and said scornfully, “You are a grown man. Have some grace. What era are we living in? Do you have to flaunt your masculinity all the time?” I watched calmly as they walked toward the pool. Then, I turned and made a phone call. “Since she doesn’t care about this marriage, she can watch the Charlton family crumble.”

Sa loob ng maraming taon, naging biktima si Elara Castillo ng walang humpay na panlalait dahil sa kanyang 180-pound na timbang. Ngunit ang sukdulan ng kasamaan ng kanyang stepsister na si Danica ay nangyari sa isang gabi ng pagtatraydor, nilagyan nito ng gamot ang kanyang inumin at itinulak siya sa bisig ng isang misteryosong lalaki sa dilim. Imbes na kahihiyan, doon natuklasan ni Elara ang init at halagang ipinagkait sa kanya ng mundo bilang isang "matabang babae." Sa gitna ng pagnanasa, nakaramdam siya ng kapangyarihan. At bilang ganti sa gabing iyon, nag-iwan siya ng limang piso sa ibabaw ng nightstand bago tumakas, isang bayad sa serbisyo ng lalaking hindi niya man lang nakita ang mukha. Isang taon ang lumipas. Ang dating biktima ay muling nagbabalik bilang isang nagniningning na diyosa. Wala na ang takot, dahil ang tanging hangad ni Elara ay pagbayarin ang kanyang madrasta at kapatid. Sa kanyang paghahanap ng hustisya, makakaharap niya ang kinatatakutang bilyonaryo at business tycoon na si Alessandro Valderama. Isang kasunduan ang inalok nito: A Marriage of Convenience. Para kay Elara, ang kasal na ito ay isang business deal lamang para mapabilis ang kanyang paghihiganti. Ngunit hindi niya inasahan na ang lalaking kinatatakutan ng buong mundo ay ang mismong lalaking "binayaran" niya ng barya matapos ang isang gabi ng pagsasama. Paano kung malaman ni Alessandro na ang babaeng nagpababa ng kanyang dangal sa halagang limang piso ay ang babaeng asawa na niya ngayon? Sa isang kasunduang nakasulat lamang sa papel, may puwang pa ba ang tunay na pag-ibig kapag nabuksan na ang mga sikreto ng nakaraan?

I never imagined selling myself to a stranger, but desperation changes everything. “My offer is simple,” he said, leaning back in his leather chair, his voice colder than the iced whiskey in his glass. “Help us track down those people you overheard last night and act as bait for a few months” His eyes were steel—sharp, unreadable. I swallowed hard. I was a waitress. He was a billionaire. We lived in different worlds. But my mother was dying, and I needed money fast. “And in return?” I asked, my voice barely a whisper. “You get two million dollars as well as protection from the criminal organization looking for you,” he said flatly. My hands trembled in my lap. This wasn’t a proposal. It was a transaction. And I was the product. But I nodded anyway. “Deal.”

Everyone has gathered around to play games together. The current game requires all players to transfer red wine to each other via our mouths. Before my fiance, Teodoro Lamperti, is able to transfer the wine to me, his female best friend, Cristina Ghedini, shoves me away before kissing him on the mouth right away. "What are you doing? Today is Serafina's big day, you know!" Teodoro might be complaining on the outside, yet he's patting Cristina gently on the back. The atmosphere in the villa becomes eerily silent. Everyone stares at me as I sit on the floor in a wretched manner. Cristina merely smiles nonchalantly. Then, she leans against Teodoro's shoulder. "Don't be so petty, Serafina. Teodor and I are as thick as thieves since we were kids. We're used to sharing everything together." Teodoro begins advising me as well. "It's just a game, Serafina. You've always been gracious, haven't you? Don't act like a sore loser." Everyone thinks that I'll explode into rage and flip the table of food over, like I had done in the past. But this time, I just draw to my feet and take off the engagement ring. Then, I slide it onto Cristina's finger. "This ring is yours now. Congratulations on your marriage. Remember to invite me to your wedding."

Giorgo Romero, der Don der Familie Romero, wurde von einem selbstmordbereiten Wahnsinnigen in einen Hinterhalt gelockt, der Sprengstoff am Körper trug. Damals waren mein Mann Fabio Lopez und seine Männer bereits mit seiner Jugendliebe Reina Digiorno auf einer Modenschau, um sie dort zu beschützen. Statt den Signal-Knopf an meinem Ring zu drücken, stürzte ich mich trotz meiner hochschwangeren Verfassung auf Giorgo. So schaffte ich es, ihn mit meinem Körper vor der Explosion zu schützen. In meinem vorherigen Leben drückte ich den Knopf. Fabio ließ Reina zurück, um schnell zum Tatort zurückzukehren und Giorgos Leben zu retten. Wegen dieses Einsatzes wurde er zum Underboss befördert. Doch Reina war wütend auf Fabio, weil er sie vorzeitig allein gelassen hatte. Aus purer Trotzreaktion überquerte sie die Autobahn. Dabei wurde sie von einem Auto erfasst und starb. Fabio sagte zwar nichts, aber am Tag, an dem bei mir die Wehen einsetzten, ließ er mich in ein unterirdisches Auktionshaus bringen. „Der Don hatte so viele Soldaten als Schutz! Warum hast du mich überhaupt gezwungen zurückzukommen? Doch nur, weil du den Ruhm willst, die Frau des Underboss zu sein! „Wäre es nicht um dich, wäre Rena nicht gestorben! Du musst tausendmal so viel Leid wie sie ertragen!“ Ich konnte nur zusehen, wie die Gäste nacheinander auf meine Organe boten. Nicht einmal die Nabelschnur meines Neugeborenen blieb von der Auktion verschont. Am Ende starb ich an einer Infektion, die während der Organentnahme entstanden war. Als ich meine Augen wieder öffnete, war ich zurück an dem Tag, an dem Giorgo überfallen wurde.
