Bought By The Don

Impoverished student Aella sells herself at an underground auction to pay for her mother's treatment and is bought by mafia don Alessio, who makes her the fiancée of his nephew Luca. By day she performs as an obedient bride; by night she remains under the don's control. After her mother dies, Aella begins using Alessio's obsession, Luca's betrayal, and a rival gang to reclaim agency. She takes a bullet for Alessio during a family war and ultimately rises from purchased pawn to a mistress of the underworld who shares power beside him.
