On the night she covers a shift for her best friend Ophelia, Ella sacrifices her virginity to save a stranger—never knowing he is Kane Shadow, the godfather of the underworld. Kane leaves her a gold bracelet as a token of recognition, but greedy Ophelia snatches it for herself. When Kane’s men question her, Ophelia lies and claims she saved him—and just like that, she becomes his fiancée. To keep the truth hidden, she does everything she can to tear Ella down. Kane sees it all. Though deep down he’s drawn to Ella, he says nothing—and does nothing to stop it—until Ophelia tries to kill Ella and the child she’s carrying. Only then does Kane learn the truth.
