"I'm sorry, Ms. Valenti, but our records show your name has never been on the official Carbone family register." The archivist's words hung in the air, my knuckles whitening around the pregnancy report. My knees nearly gave out on the cold marble floor. Five years ago, when Chase Carbone returned to Chicago to take over the family business, I didn't hesitate to give up an advanced training opportunity at a top studio in Florence to follow this dangerous man into his dark kingdom. He had once whispered in my ear, "Once my position is stable, I'll make it official. You'll be the true lady of this family." Yet, five years had passed, and my status remained unofficial. Meanwhile, Camilla Gallo, the "business partner" who had returned with him, had long since received the family's formal recognition and the respect that came with it, all under his protection. I fought him over this, threatening to return to the East Coast. For the first time, the usually composed Underboss of the Carbone family lost his composure. He gripped my wrist, his eyes bloodshot. "Camilla and her family are crucial to our business. Accepting her is a strategic necessity. You are my woman; your position is second to none. My recent operations are critical, and I can't afford any mistakes. Understand?" But I had been "understanding" for five whole years. Suddenly, my phone rang. Chase's excited voice came through the line. "The merger with the Gallo family is officially done. We're having a party at the manor tonight to celebrate. You need to play hostess and make sure everyone's taken care of." I glanced down at the unsanctioned ring on my finger, a private gift from him, and a chill settled deep in my bones. It turned out I had never been officially acknowledged by his family. My baby and I had no official standing or protection in his dark empire. After hanging up, I didn't book a caterer for the evening's banquet. I scheduled an abortion. And I booked the earliest one-way ticket to Portland. Chase Carbone, this time, I'm not coming back. -- Main Text --

In my freshman year, I became the mistress of mafia Underboss, Victor Harlan. To pay for my mother's exorbitant medical bills, I spent three years as his obedient canary in a gilded cage. Then, his old flame returned. He placed a black card in front of me. "There are five million dollars in here. Take the money and disappear forever." I obediently took the money and left. But just as I was about to embrace my new life, Victor Harlan came for me like a man possessed. He shoved me roughly into the car, his body crushing mine. He clung to me like a wounded beast, his voice a hoarse whisper. "Don't leave me." I pushed him away, my mask of compliance finally shattering. "Look at me, Victor Harlan. I am Sophia Landon, not Isabella Vance."

I was the canary in a gilded cage, a possession of the Don, Dante Moretti. In the seventh year of my captivity, he finally tired of me. He turned his affections to a younger, more alluring dancer. I suggested we part ways, but he just smirked. "Elara, I've owned you for seven years. You wouldn't last a day out there," he sneered. "Leave me? Go where? Besides, your father... without my medical equipment, how much longer do you think he has?" Staring at the man before me, I was transported back to that rainy night seven years ago. Back then, to force me into submission, he had framed my father, ruining him and leaving our family with a mountain of debt. The shock put my father in a coma. Buried under exorbitant medical bills, I had no choice but to accept Dante's obsessive control. Dante took my bowed head and silence as surrender. He stood, announcing he was off to pick up his "little dancer" and ordering me to clear my things out of the master suite immediately. I gave a silent nod. The moment the door clicked shut behind him, I dialed the number for the underworld's "cleaner." "Silas, I'll sell you our family's ledger for fifty million. But I need more than just money. I need you to make my father and me disappear."
