Chapter 1

My dad is the most feared mafia boss in New York.

My mom is an elite heiress from one of the city's oldest billionaire families.

And then there's Julian—my genius older brother who used to spoil me to death.

When I was five, my dad’s enemies kidnapped me. They wanted to trade my life for his.

To save him, I found a chance to escape.

But I ended up falling off a cliff, losing all my memories, and growing up as an unadoptable orphan in a foster home.

The kidnapper, wanting to torture my dad, lied and told him he’d thrown me to the sharks.

From that day on, my name—Seraphina King—became a forbidden word in New York.

Twenty years later.

My boyfriend’s side chick ran me over with her car, sending me straight to the ER.

Standing by my hospital bed, she threw a black credit card at my face.

"My adoptive dad is a mafia legend. My adoptive mom is a New York socialite. My adoptive brother is a world-class scientist."

"Who do you think you are to compete with me?"

And my boyfriend, the guy who swore he’d love me forever, stood there with cold, indifferent eyes.

"Mia, you can't give me anything. Just let me go, okay?"

I clutched the card and whispered, "Okay."

Every cloud has a silver lining.

That car crash actually brought my memories back.
