Résumé La vie d'Eléni bascule lorsque son frère, désespéré par les dettes de jeu, emprunte une somme colossale à l'organisation de Léandros. Pour sauver son frère d'une mort certaine et protéger l'héritage de son père, Eléni n'a d'autre choix que d'accepter l'offre de Léandros : il efface la dette, mais en échange, elle lui appartient. Léandros ne veut pas d'une simple servante. Il veut Eléni, corps et âme. Il l'emmène dans son domaine imprenable sur les falaises de la Riviera athénienne, un palais moderne qui est sa cage dorée. Il use de manipulation psychologique, d'une autorité absolue et d'une attraction brûlante et dévastatrice pour briser sa volonté et la forcer à voir l'homme derrière le monstre.

Después de mi renacimiento, decidí trazar una línea dura entre mí y el heredero de la familia de la mafia, Carlo Gutiérrez. Él hizo que su golden retriever ocupara mi asiento y le dijo a todos que yo ni siquiera era apta para tocar comida de perro en su fiesta. Después de eso, nunca más volví a sentarme en la mesa principal. Se quejó de que mi voz le estaba dando dolor de cabeza e interfería con sus negocios, así que me callé delante de él. Él se burló porque apestaba, así que hice las maletas y volví a mi destartalado apartamento en los barrios bajos, sin volver a poner un pie en su territorio. Al final, dijo que mi sola presencia arruinaría su alianza matrimonial con la Principessa de la familia Moreno. Asentí, y luego acepté la propuesta de matrimonio de otro hombre sin dudarlo. Tomé decisiones opuestas a las que tomé en mi vida pasada. Después de que me casé con él en mi vida anterior, la Principessa de la familia Moreno fue asesinada en un tiroteo. Carlo concluyó que yo era el culpable y me arrojó al sótano para torturarme antes de finalmente tirar mi cuerpo al mar. Más tarde, cuando me vio con otro hombre, me confrontó con los ojos rojos. —Rosa Shaw, ya te divertiste. Vuelve conmigo, ¡y fingiré que nada de esto ha pasado!
