Talia Bennett had loved Gavin Cross for five years. Five years ago, she was one of the most promising young painters at the New York Academy of Art. But to become the kind of woman Gavin wanted, Talia gradually gave up her career, changed her personality, and reshaped her entire life around him. In return, all she earned as a reputation among New York's elite as reckless, unstable, and hopelessly obsessed with Gavin. When Gavin eventually grew tired of her, he fell for Sienna Cole— a younger, innocent- looking woman who bore a striking resemblance to the Talia he had first met five years earlier. Even after ending their engagement, Gavin remained certain that Talia would eventually come back to him. What no one knew was that the Bennett family was already on the verge of bankruptcy. Desperate for money and protection from the powerful Moretti family, Talia's father, Harold Bennett, planned to marry off her nineteen-year-old younger sister, Maya.The intended groom was Ronan Moretti, the wheelchair-using mafia boss whose name alone was enough to intimidate the entire East Coast underworld. Determined to protect her sister-and finally break free from years of her father's control- Talia volunteers to take Maya's place. She expects nothing more than a marriage of convenience. Instead, she discovers that Ronan is nothing like the ruthless, merciless man described in the rumors. He never forces her into anything. For the first time in years, someone gives Talia back the right to make her own choices. Just as Talia decides to go through with the marriage, Gavin calls and orders her to return, arrogantly offering her one "last chance." For the first time, Talia refuses to give in. She hangs up the phone-and kisses Ronan first. Three days later, Talia and Ronan quietly make their marriage official. It is not until their public wedding that Gavin finally realizes the woman he believed would never be able to live without him has become Ronan Moretti's bride.

It is said that Marco Colombo, the heir of the Colombo family of Chiron, is holding a wedding for his mistress, Gina Bilotti, today. The scale is ten times grander than when he marries Isabella Pratico in a political union. I lean against the ebony railing on the second floor. Sipping my red wine, I watch the lively scene of clinking glasses and mingling guests below with quiet amusement. Gina is definitely favored—she is even wearing a ruby necklace. One should know that set of ruby jewelry is an heirloom of the Colombo family. It is something only the Donna and the wife of the heir are allowed to wear. "You must be Isabella, the one Marco who does not love." A voice suddenly comes from beside me. I turn my head and see the woman wearing the ruby necklace before me. Gina has come up to the second floor at some point and is now looking at me with a cunning smile on her face. I freeze for a moment, not yet able to respond. She suddenly grabs my hand and yanks it hard toward herself. There is a sharp tearing sound, and the hem of her wedding dress rips open with a long tear. Gina lets out a cry, and tears immediately stream down her face. "Mrs. Colombo, why did you tear my wedding dress? Marco specially commissioned this from an independent designer just for our wedding! "If you really cannot tolerate my presence, then I will break up with Marco today and leave Chiron…" The surrounding guests all lift their heads and glare at me angrily. I am stunned because I am not Isabella. I am the new wife of Marco's father, the woman of the current Don, and the Donna of the Colombo family.

Just as I was on the verge of miscarriage from a fall, my husband—New York's most powerful Don—was throwing a lavish birthday gala for his childhood sweetheart, Camilla. I called, begging for help, but he dismissed it as a cheap stunt and coldly hung up. As his wife, I bore the honor of being the Donna—yet no one knew I couldn't even scrape together a thousand dollars. All because, to "train" me into a proper Donna, he had handed total control of my life and finances straight to Camilla. Desperate, I begged anyone who would listen. But by the time I finally scraped the money together, my baby's heartbeat stopped forever. After waking up in that hospital bed, I dragged myself back to his penthouse to pack my bags. That was when I stumbled upon the auction receipt for Camilla's birthday gift. A ten-million-dollar mansion in Beverly Hills, plus endless custom jewelry. Just then, his deep, raspy voice drifted from the study next door. He was on a call with his underbosses. "Boss, was Scarlett really at the hospital begging you for a grand?" Cassius scoffed. "Scarlett is my Donna. She has my men guarding her 24/7. How could anything possibly happen to her? She's just pulling a cheap stunt for attention. Camilla is right. I've spoiled Scarlett too much lately. If Camilla isn't strict with her, how is an orphan going to earn the Famiglia's respect? She'll understand my good intentions later." Tears slipped down my face. Fuck his rules. Fuck his Donna. The second the doctor called my baby's time of death, I decided I was out of his life—never to return.
