A young woman is sold into the household of a powerful mafia boss, where she unexpectedly becomes the one person willing to shield his young daughter from the dangers surrounding them. As she grows close to the child, her bond with the ruthless father deepens into something neither of them planned, forcing her to navigate loyalty, danger, and forbidden desire.
Here it is! Victoria's expression changes so quickly, I almost miss it. Relief. Using a child to hide stolen jewelry.
How disgusting. Mason appears in the doorway. He's 23 and apparently has the emotional range of a schoolyard bully. Just a little freak like shiny things.
I look at him. One more word and you'll be eating that brooch. He stops smiling. Don't threaten my son.
Victoria steps towards me, then teach him how to speak to a child. Clearly somebody skipped that part. I look at the nanny. We were in the greenhouse this morning.
You changed the sheets while we were gone. Who else came in? I don't remember. Her eyes dart to Victoria.
Convenient. Let's check the cameras. There it is. The brooch was in her doll.
Victoria cuts in. That's all the proof we need. If I put it in your handbag, does that make you a thief? Enough!
She points at the door. Get this woman out of my house! The child stays upstairs until she learns how to behave. A staff member reaches for Ellie's shoulder.
Ellie grabs me around the waist. Please don't make her leave. I fold my arms around her. Nobody's touching her.
Victoria's lips curl. You think a marriage contract makes you someone? I think your plan works better without me here. Frighten the child, keep Damien away, make sure your son gets everything.
Victoria closes the distance between us. Her hand comes up. I turn, shielding Ellie's head. A man's voice cuts through the room.
Put your hand down. I look toward the doorway. Before I do it for you.
