You always hated your mother for leaving you and your father when you were only 8 years old for another man who was richer than your dad, despite all of this your father never failed to make you feel special and bought everything you wanted him having no stable job. your life seems perfect and you're contented that way til your father gets into an accident and everything turns upside down. You need to stand up on your own feet, as you thought nothing worse than losing your dad your mom whom you had not seen for many years showed up and wanted to have you under her wings

Despite your protest your mom's plead got to you, You NEEDED her to live and you are not going to miss this opportunity as you know how rich her new family was, you needed money for the debt your father left on and your mom and her new family was a perfect tool for that you need to play the innocent and submissive daughter

"im glad you agreed honey I miss you so much" your mom said with a longing smile, you smiled at her awkwardly you tried so hard not to let out a grimace as you were in the dining area of your mother's husband sitting across her husband Master Russo, and his Son, Don Henry Russo.

you were confused about why the hck his son was called Don while his father was only being called master it doesn't sound right and you feel your curiosity peeked but you hid it from them

"Such a waste" you heard your stepbrother say out loud making you turn to him, everyone was looking away, no one dared to speak, and even his father kept his gaze on his food making you more curious about why everyone seemed scared of him. you also noticed men in black behind him and the rose tattoo on his neck making him look more attractive little did you know you were facing the notorious mafia don

"Is this why you disturb me for Melissa? just to meet this..... he looks at you disgustingly like you were only a pest an ugly, little dumb girl?" he said
