The Woman He Bought Was Mafia Heiress

Every year on Dante Moretti's birthday, they played a game.

Whoever drew the ace of spades could order anyone to do one thing.

The first year, Sofia Cavarro poured red wine over my head.

She was the Cavarro family's precious princess, and no one had ever dared to cross her.

So that night, she smiled and told me to kneel and lick the wine off the tips of Dante's shoes.

The second year, she hung a price tag reading "three million dollars" around my neck and let everyone guess whether Dante's purchase of me had been worth it.

Dante sat on the sofa with his glass of wine, watching them jeer with a smile.

Because everyone knew I was the woman he'd bought at an auction seven years ago.

And I loved him, so I endured it, time after time.

This year, Sofia drew the ace of spades again.

She didn't make me kneel. She didn't give me a new punishment.

She simply handed me a ring and told me to put it on her finger myself.

That was how I found out.

In one month, Dante was going to marry her.

For the first time in seven years, I asked to leave.

Dante laughed.

"Elena, have you forgotten? I paid for you.

"No matter who I marry, it doesn't change the fact that you belong to me."

He was certain I had no family, nowhere to go.

He was certain that as long as he didn't let me go, I would never be able to leave his side.

But three days later, twenty black sedans surrounded the Moretti estate.

The man who made the entire Sicilian Mafia tremble stormed in and knocked Dante to the floor with a single punch.

He held up the price tag, his eyes red.

"My precious daughter, the one I've spent twelve years searching for...

"How could she have ended up here, a slave for seven years?"
