Everyone in the family can see the countdown above Eli Nash, my brother, so we all know he dies the day he turns 16 years old. Thus, Eli becomes the most pampered person in the family. He gets all the good food, the latest limited-edition sneakers, and even the bedtime stories from Mom and Dad. I feel very bad for him, yet I am jealous of all the love he receives. I finally make it to the eve of his 16th birthday. But Mom and Dad fear that I will cause trouble, so they lock me in a storage room while I am suffering from a high fever. I panic as I bang on the door. "Please let me out, Mom! I'm running a fever, and my head hurts so badly!" Mom snaps through gritted teeth, "That's enough, Ash! Eli is going to die tomorrow! Why can't you just put up with it?" "I feel really sick, though…" I start losing consciousness as the sounds outside the door die down.

I'm Isa Borgia, the only daughter of the most powerful Don in Corvina. A marriage of convenience isn't something I can escape — every family in our world is bound by alliance, not love. But if I can't choose my husband, the least I can do is choose my own engagement ring. At the mafia auction, the moment I raise my paddle for the final lot — a flawless diamond ring — an arrogant voice cuts in from behind me. "A country bumpkin like you thinks you can compete with me? Do yourself a favor and leave." The woman who steals my ring is Sofia Lopez, the spoiled godsister of my own fiancé, Luca Marino. She humiliates me in front of the entire hall, orders her men to crush my fingers — and Luca, the man meant to protect me, just watches. Worse, he lets her go further. They think I'm a nobody from nowhere, someone with no name and no power behind her. Then my father walks through those doors. In one single night, the balance of power in Norham City flips completely. The once-untouchable Marino family falls to its knees. The "beloved godsister" who tortured me ends up caged like the animal she always was. But I'm not interested in simple forgiveness. I want them exposed in front of all Five Families — stripped of every lie, every illusion of power — and I want to watch, with my own eyes, as they walk straight into the ending I've already written for them. I'm a Don's daughter. I don't beg for love, and I never settle for losing. This time, I'm the one who makes the rules.

Three days before our wedding, my fiancé, Raphael Russo, was killed in a gang shootout. They didn't even find a body. As I was drowning in grief, comments suddenly flashed before my eyes: 【Wake up, girl! the coffin's empty! He faked his death! The scumbag ran off to be with that scheming bitch chloe, the one pretending to be sick!】 【While you're crying your eyes out at the funeral, Raphael is fucking Chloe’s brains out in a hotel bed.】 【When he comes back, he'll claim he has amnesia. You won't know a thing and you'll forgive him. You poor thing…】 A month later, news of my marriage to Mafia Don Marcello Falcone spread through New York. Raphael’s right-hand man cornered me, furious. “How could you betray the Boss?” I tightened my grip on Marcello’s arm and smiled. “A girl can’t mourn forever, can she? I’m sure Raphael, in spirit, would be happy for me.”
