Synopsis
Elena’s older brother, Adrian, died saving the life of mob boss Dante. Although Dante vowed to look after her, in her past life, he forcibly claimed, imprisoned, and abused her, seizing the Cross family assets and ultimately causing her to die a tragic death in a basement. Reborn on the night of Adrian’s death, Elena shocked everyone by publicly proposing to Nico, a silent enforcer in Dante’s inner circle. Dante humiliated Nico in every way possible and sent him on a suicide mission to the docks; meanwhile, he allowed his sister Bianca and mother Valentina to plunder Elena’s inheritance and destroy her late mother’s belongings, all in an attempt to force her into becoming his secret mistress. At a critical moment, Nico revealed his true identity—he was the heir to the East Coast’s Vale Mafia family—and arrived with the family’s forces and the Supreme Underground Council to protect Elena. Armed with evidence such as recordings and financial records, they exposed the Moretti family’s crimes, including asset embezzlement, illegal imprisonment, and multiple homicides. Dante’s fiancée, a prosecutor named Sofia, broke off their engagement, effectively cutting off any chance for the family to legitimize their status. Following the hearing, the Moretti family empire collapsed; Dante was imprisoned after a failed escape attempt, and his mother and sister were also sentenced. Respecting Elena’s wishes, Nico returned and restored her family heirlooms. The two married six months later, and Elena took full control of her family’s business, finally escaping the suffering of her past life to find peace and happiness under the watchful gaze of her departed loved ones.
