Chiara is Chicago’s top neurosurgeon and the sharpest weapon in Vincenzo’s rise to power. For ten years, she helped him build a ruthless criminal empire, clearing his path to the throne and saving his life time and time again. She believed that once he became Godfather, he would finally put a ring on her finger. Instead, she watched him propose to her stepsister, Katerina. Ten years of loyalty, sacrifice, and love meant nothing. Chiara finally realized she had never been the woman Vincenzo wanted to marry. She was simply the woman he had grown used to having by his side—the one he never thought he could lose. So she walked away from everything and disappeared without a trace. At first, Vincenzo thought she was just throwing a tantrum. But when the woman who had stood by him through every battle and dragged him back from the brink of death was truly gone, his world began to crumble. The most feared Godfather in Chicago went mad searching for her, unleashing his entire empire to find the woman he had taken for granted. But it was too late. He hadn't just lost his best surgeon or his most trusted ally. He had lost the only woman he had ever truly loved. And now, no matter how far he went or how much blood he spilled, he might never win her back.

My husband, Cesare Ferrante, the most feared Don of the Ferrante family, had always hated children. Yet everything changed the moment my stepsister, Bianca Moretti, moved in next door with her six-month-old baby. Suddenly, my husband became obsessed with that child. He personally fed the baby formula, sang lullabies, and carried the baby everywhere he went. Every day, he came home exhausted at dawn, yet his face glowed with joy, as if that baby occupied his entire soul. I became invisible to him. Three days ago, someone forced my car off the road, and I crashed into the median. Blood streamed down my forehead, and my vision swam. I called Cesare 55 times. He did not answer a single call. Instead, he posted a photo of the baby on his social media. [My little angel smiled today!] I had had enough. Tonight at the family banquet, every member of the famiglia was seated around the table. I raised my final toast, then set down my glass. "I want a divorce." They all froze. "Are you insane?" My parents' voices rose in unison. Cesare grabbed my wrist, disbelief written across his face. "Giulia, you want to divorce me just because I was busy taking care of the baby and didn't answer your calls? You're actually jealous of a six-month-old child?" I did not meet his eyes. Instead, I stared at the glaring kiss mark behind his ear. "Since you love that child so much," I said calmly, "I'll make it easy for you. Go be that child's father."

"Soon after Emily was born, her mother Victoria—one of the world’s top AI experts—built her an AI sister named ARIA. Victoria never doubted that the machine she created with her own hands could ever be wrong. For years, whenever ARIA declared Emily was lying, no matter how Emily tried to explain, her mother believed the machine. On her tenth birthday, Emily suffers agonizing chest pain at a theme park. ARIA detects a critical anomaly—and deliberately tells Victoria that Emily is perfectly healthy, just lying to get out of it. Victoria forces her onto a high-altitude ride. Emily dies of heart failure. But even after her body is dumped in a trunk and begins to decompose, ARIA keeps reporting her vitals as normal. As the police close in, deleted and tampered data starts resurfacing. Victoria finally realizes ARIA has long wanted to replace Emily—and that the daughter she branded a compulsive liar had been telling the truth all along, again and again. By the time she is finally ready to believe Emily, it is far too late."

My mother was the Chosen Luna—the one who once conquered three powerful Alphas. When her mission was done, she vanished from this world, leaving behind only me, and the three Alphas who had once loved her with everything they had. My first father, Alpha Jeff Tanners, ruled the Silver Moon Pack—rich enough to buy half the continent. My second father, Alpha Kael Grey, commanded all the warriors of the Northern Alliance. My third father, Alpha Bran Theron, held every medical resource wolves and humans depended on. For eighteen years, I was their cherished little princess. Whatever I wanted, they gave—no questions, no hesitation. Until they brought home that girl—a fragile orphan named Arie Ryker. From that day on, everything changed. She told them I called her a filthy stray, unworthy of our pack. She said I led the young wolves at school to bully her. She said I tampered with her performance costume, that I caused her allergy, that I made her faint on stage. And they believed her. They stopped believing me. The ninety-ninth time they chose her over me, when they shouted, "Don't come back again!", I didn't argue. I just picked up my luggage and left. They thought I'd come running home like before—that my disappearance was just another way to make them see me. But when they found out I had left the pack for good, that my identity had been erased, that I could no longer be found, the three mighty Alphas finally broke.

My father's adopted daughter was only locked in the cramped storage closet for around fifteen minutes, yet he punished me by tying me up and throwing me inside. He even sealed off the ventilation with towels. "As Wendy's older sister, if you can't take care of her, then you should also experience how scared she was," he declared coldly. He knew I was claustrophobic, but my desperate pleas for mercy, my terror, were met with nothing but heartless reprimands. "Let this be a lesson on how to be a good sister." As the last sliver of light disappeared, swallowed by the oppressive darkness, I struggled helplessly. A week passed before my father finally remembered my existence and decided it was time to end my punishment. "Let's hope this week served as a good lesson for you, Jennifer. If this happens again, you will no longer be allowed in this house." He would never know that I had already taken my last breath in that suffocating room. My body had begun to rot in the darkness.
