Getting engaged to Dominic D'Amico, her true love and a mafia boss, Jane thought she was past the dark phase of her life. She thought everything would only get better, moving on. But…she didn't know her moment of happiness was so short.

Stumbling upon Dominic's words, she was smacked in the face by one of the most cruel forms of betrayal. As if the pain was not excruciating enough, she was forced to go with her sworn enemy, another mafia whi was obsessed with her for years.

Getting separated from her friends, family and the person she loved with her heart and soul, she found herself on the enemy turf with no way to get out and no one to turn to. As her patience and perseverance were being tested, she lost her family forever and her will to live as well. But Dominic was determined to win her back.

Caught between her present and past, entangled in a web of lies, betrayals and secrets and without any memory of what led her to this point in life, could she brave the storm that her life had become and reach the finish line? 

Could she differentiate between the friend and the foe or would she fall into the trap and lose the one who truly loved her, forever?

I took a look at my watch and there was still fifteen minutes remaining for him to arrive here.


I sensed a slight tug at my jacket sleeves and looked down to see Jane clutching it tightly, while her fearful eyes were trained on Rosario. There was a slight tremble in her hand as she hid behind me.


"Come with me." I snaked my arm around her waist, pulling her closer to my side.


"No. Not there." Her fingers fisted around the fabric of my jacket as she tried to pull me back. 


I restrained the overwhelming urge to pull her into my embrace and keep her there forever, hidden from the world.


"Jane. Relax. We'll leave through the back door."


She looked up as if she couldn't believe what I said, but kept silent and let me pull her away from the crowd while still clutching my jacket as if her life depended on it.
