Valeria Moretti lived the fairy tale the world envied. Luca Moretti, the golden heir of the most ruthless mafia family, abandoned blood and power for a girl from the slums. He called her his salvation. He made the press believe in forever. But forever had a second address. While Valeria believed in the man who trembled at her bedside, Luca was building a secret life with his childhood sweetheart Bianca Rizzo — complete with twin boys who already called him Daddy. The night Valeria discovered the truth, she didn’t scream. She calculated. Three days later a luxury cruise ship vanished in a staged tsunami. The world declared Valeria dead. Luca’s empire burned. He tore through cities, bribed governments, and buried men alive searching for a body that did not exist. Seven months later he finds her — pregnant with his child, building a quiet new life under another name, and colder than the sea that supposedly took her.

"Eileen, the eldest daughter of the Bennett family, lost her mother at a young age. Growing up overshadowed by her father and his illegitimate daughter Lily, the only person she ever cared for deeply was Alex, her personal bodyguard whom she had hand‑picked. Her father arranged her marriage to Noah, the comatose heir of the Gray family, in exchange for a billion‑dollar deal. Before leaving home, Eileen intended to hand Alex over to Lily, only to stumble upon his desire for Lily as well as his hidden true identity. Private auction events, cliff‑side flower‑gathering, a name tattooed over his heart, vicious dog attacks and ninety‑nine lashes forced Eileen to confront one bitter truth after another: Alex had always put Lily above her. She finally severed their three‑year bond and left for Miami alone to honour her arranged marriage. After Eileen’s departure, Alex uncovered Lily’s long‑running act as a victim. It was Lily who had caused Eileen’s mother’s death, robbed Eileen of her chance at an education, and falsely claimed to be the white‑dressed girl Alex had fallen for at first sight. Realising he had loved the wrong woman and destroyed the one who had truly loved him, Alex meted out punishment to Lily and Mr. Bennett. He then crashed Eileen and Noah’s wedding in an attempt to take her away. Yet Noah had long since woken from his coma. Through years of unsent letters, he revealed he had loved Eileen ever since he was sixteen. Alex sought to atone for his past wrongs: he reopened his old lash wounds, cut out the tattoo, fought savage dogs and staked his life on a desperate gamble, yet none of it could win back Eileen’s trust. In the end, he was shot and slipped into an eternal slumber. Eileen held a new wedding ceremony with Noah, closing the chapter on this story of mistaken affection and ruinous hurt."

When I went to reissue my mate certificate, the Werewolf Affairs Division told me, "Your mate certificate is a forgery. We have no record of your registration." I stared at the clerk, unable to believe what I was hearing. "But Sam and I registered five years ago. That's impossible. Could you please check again?" The clerk gave me a look before double-checking the files. "We found Alpha Sam's record. But the registered mate… isn't you." My voice trembled. "Then who is Sam's legal mate?" The clerk didn't hesitate. "Lily." I gripped the back of the chair, white-knuckled, just to keep myself upright. Until the clerk had spoken that name, I'd still held on to hope. Maybe it was a clerical error. A mix-up. But of all people, it had to be Lily, Sam's childhood friend. And suddenly, everything started to make sense. In five years of being Sam's mate, he had never marked me. We'd only held a mating ceremony—no certificate, no legal bond. I had given up everything for that ceremony, poured all my hope and love into it, believing I was his, only to find the certificate was fake. The five years I'd thought were mine—our happiness—had all been a lie, crafted and upheld by appearances. If none of it was truly mine, then there's only one thing left for me to do. Leave.
