Three years ago, I drugged the mafia heir, Vincent. After that one wild night, he didn’t kill me. Instead, he fucked me until my legs went weak, gripping my waist and whispering the same word over and over: “Principessa.” Just as I was about to propose, his first love, Isabella, returned. To keep her happy, Vincent let a car hit me, had my mother’s heirlooms thrown to stray dogs, and sent me to prison… But when I was finally broken, flying to Boston to marry someone else, Vincent tore New York City apart to find me.

Seven years ago, my dad used me to pay off his gambling debt. Vincenzo, New York’s most feared mafia boss, got me out of that casino and helped me become a Hollywood star. I thought I meant something to him. Then, on my birthday, I heard him tell his right-hand man, “I’ll sleep with her, sure. Marry her? No way.” So I sold the jewelry he gave me, quit acting, and moved to Paris to study art. I could finally live the life I wanted. But Vincenzo showed up. He’d called off his engagement, and he wanted me to come back...

Damian clears the debt—but in return, Elena spends the next ten years trapped in the Moretti estate: every luxury, no freedom, a little bird in a gilded cage. At twenty-eight, Damian agrees to marry Victoria Rossi for a political alliance. While everyone expects Elena to demand money or status, she asks only for the chance to study at Cambridge. Convinced she isn't capable, Damian sends her to an ordinary college with a similar name to humiliate her. Soon after, Victoria frames Elena for theft, and Damian sides with the alliance—the betrayal that ends Elena's last attachment to him. Still under restriction, Elena secretly prepares for her exams and reconnects with Aiden Walker, a former classmate who always ranked just behind her and who, unlike Damian, believes in her ability and offers to support her. Elena earns three A grades. Pretending to submit completely, she persuades Damian to take her to Europe and escapes during a stopover in Istanbul with a decoy and a private plane.

When my CEO wife, Nina Wynn, learned I voluntarily handed a multimillion-dollar project to her favorite assistant, Zach Channing, she thought her three-month cold treatment finally worked. Beaming, she suddenly suggested we fly to Ivesland for our long-delayed honeymoon. When Zach found out, he became jealous and threatened to quit. Panicked, she spent three days and nights comforting him, then canceled our honeymoon again with the excuse of a business trip, giving him my ticket instead. Later, she casually explained to me, "Romance is trivial. Work comes first. As the boss, I have to prioritize. You’re my husband; you should understand." I looked at Zach’s latest social post, which was a photo of the two of them leaning intimately with their hands forming a heart, and said nothing. I only nod. Thinking I’d become more thoughtful and obedient, she was pleased. She even promised to make it up to me with a more romantic honeymoon when they got back home. However, unbeknownst to her, I’d already resigned. The divorce papers were already signed, and there was no future for us ever again.
