When the Mafia Don Begs for Her Forgiveness

After being framed by her half-sister Virella Moretti, Lia Moretti—the rare unmated heir of a powerful crime family—is condemned by the two people she trusted most. Her brother Luca and her fiancé, Rick Valenti, send her to a private prison, where she endures humiliation and isolation under the false belief that she betrayed the family.

When she is finally released, Lia tries to speak the truth. But Luca refuses to believe her. “Virella is pure-hearted.” Rick, still bound by doubt and deception, adds, “I will still honor our bond… but Virella is innocent.”

Piece by piece, they allow Virella to take Lia’s home, her inheritance, and even her mother’s sacred heirloom.

Broken and disillusioned, Lia severs her ties and disappears beyond the reach of the family syndicate.

Only after her presence is gone do Rick and Luca realize what they have lost—too late, as the woman they once claimed as theirs can no longer be found or called back.
