Caterina Marino, the daughter of the great doctor Dante Morano, grew up in La Vendetta, the largest mafia group in Mexico. Following in her father's footsteps, she also became the chosen doctor who was given the task of treating every mafia member injured on the battlefield. Caterine loved mafia leader Leonardo Bianchi, but her love was unrequited. Leonardo disliked her and was often rude to her. All the attention she gives him is considered very annoying by Leonardo, so he often says harsh words. Dante advises his daughter to stop bothering Leonardo if she doesn't want her life to be difficult. The love she has been giving is considered a burden and a shame. Caterine felt hurt, so she decided to leave La Vendetta and go to the city to work in a hospital. Since Caterine left, Leonardo was lonely and missed her terribly and forced her to return. Caterine refused, because she had fallen in love with Gabriel Russo, who was her coworker at the hospital. Which turns out Gabriel is also favored by Rossie, who is the sister of Leonardo's biggest enemy. Until suddenly Caterine disappeared without a trace. Everyone was very panicked, and finally Leonardo realized that he had fallen in love with Caterine. “Just kill me; Leonardo won't care. I'm not important to him; my death won't mean anything.” “It's a pity if you have to die now. Be my pet; I'll let you live until I get bored.”

Luka wanted to give his best to the woman he loved.Today Caterina was going to have a wedding dress fitting at the most famous store in Sydney. Luka just escorted her to the entrance. He wanted to have a surprise on the wedding day, so he would not accompany Caterina to choose the dress she wanted. He wanted to see the dress Caterina chose on their wedding day."If you need anything, just call me. I have my cell phone with me at all times." Luka said when he had to go back to work.Caterina smiled widely. She nodded gently and gave Luka a kiss on the cheek. The well-built man turned around and left the shop.The store employees immediately guided Caterina to the VVIP room. There, the store manager was waiting for her with a
The man whose age was no longer young took a deep breath; the light in his eyes dimmed along with the threat uttered from his son's lips. His head bowed, his shoulders dropped—as if he didn't have the spirit to live.All eyes were on him, waiting to see what decision he would make."Alright, I've decided." The words he spoke drew Luka closer.Caterina firmly grasped Shopia's cold hand, the tense atmosphere causing the air around to freeze. The conflict between father and daughter would stop here, or perhaps continue with a more severe level.Adam looked up at his son's face who was staring at him sharply, the two of them were arguing - but from the dim look in his eyes, Adam preferred to give in."Don't leave me, Luka. You are my only treasure." Adam's voice sounded hoarse. "I can't stay away from you, I love you more than anything. I'm even willing to lose all the wealth I have, as long as you stay here."Luka began to be affected when he heard his father's sad voice; he swallowed wit
"Your father doesn't like me. He openly said that he hates me. I couldn't stand it. He offered me a lot of money and company to leave you. I can't take his cynicism and insults anymore. I tried my best, but he never appreciated it. In his eyes there's nothing but bad things about me." Caterina said in a hoarse voice. After she felt a little better, she began to tell the story of what happened.Luka rubbed Caterina's head tenderly. He poured out all his affection to her. He listened to all of Caterina's complaints. Meanwhile, Shopia cuddled in his arms. Alex just listened from the other side of the dining table.The dining room, which had been calm and peaceful, now turned tense and full of sadness."What happened after that?""I agreed to leave. I'll be leaving with Alex tomorrow morning."Alex was quite surprised when his name was mentioned. However, he was happy because he wanted to follow in all of Caterina's footsteps. She would go wherever Caterina went."I'm not allowing you to
"Tell me how much you want." Adam said sharply," He gave Caterina a hostile look.Caterina stared with a furrowed brow. She was confused and did not understand what Adam's words meant. The middle-aged man suddenly appeared and asked a question."How much money do you want? Leave Luka alone; I'll give you whatever money you ask for. I won't bargain. I just want to give my best to Luka. He's the only son I have. I don't want his future to be ruined because of you." Adam explained in detail. He didn't use figurative words to offend Caterina. He preferred to be straightforward.Caterina laughed slightly. She smiled sadly. Although her lips carved a sweet smile, her heart ached like it was being sliced. Until now, Adam still couldn't accept it. She thought he would change his mind if she behaved properly towards him. However, hope was far from reality. Adam openly waved the flag of hostility."I don't need your money. You keep it for yourself." Caterina said very firmly."Luka isn't here,
Luka massaged his temples while staring at the glowing laptop screen. Today was one of those rare occasions when he could enjoy the tranquility of his home without phone calls or business meetings. But his thoughts were still preoccupied with one thing—his father, Adam.Since Caterina moved to Sydney, his relationship with his father had begun to change. Adam appeared more and more often in their mansion, especially when Luka was not there. Although he always claimed to want to make sure everything was okay, Luka knew more than that. From the sharp gaze and cold attitude, it was clear that Adam didn't like Caterina.Luka finally picked up his cell phone, tapping the table a few times before daring to press Adam's number.“What's wrong?“ Adam's heavy voice immediately greeted.“Dad, I need to talk for a minute,” Luka began carefully. “About your presence in my house when I was away.”A long pause. Luka could feel the tension creeping in.“So?“ Adam asked in a flat tone.“I think... ple
It was getting dark when Luka finally finished an important phone call with a client from Hong Kong. He stretched his stiff body after hours of sitting in front of the laptop. His thoughts went back to the incident earlier that afternoon when his father brought in Sophia, who was crying and accusing Caterina of hurting their little daughter.Luka sighed. He knew the truth behind the incident, but still he felt the need to talk to Caterina. Maybe to emphasize that he believed her, or maybe to make sure that the woman he loved was okay after being accused by Adam.“Sophia, My Princess, where's Mommy Kate?” she asked when she found her daughter drawing in the family room. The little girl's knees were plastered with pictures of unicorns, and she seemed to have forgotten about what had happened that afternoon.“Mommy's in the back garden,” Sophia replied without looking up from her coloring book. ”Mommy Kate said she wanted to look at the flowers.”Luka gently stroked his daughter's head b
That afternoon, the sun began to hide its rays behind the gray clouds that were parading. Sophia, Luka's five-year-old daughter, ran happily to the playground located in the backyard of their family's luxurious mansion. Her brown hair, braided in two, waved along with her agile footsteps.“Swing! Swing!” she exclaimed in a high-pitched voice full of excitement. Without waiting for anyone, she immediately jumped onto the white-painted iron swing and began to swing her own body.Caterina, who was watering the plants in her small garden not far away, occasionally looked back to make sure Sophia was okay. ”Be careful, Sweetheart. Don't go too high,“ she said gently, even though she knew Sophia was the type of child who always wanted to try challenging things.“I want to be as high as the sky, Mommy Kate!” Sophia replied with a cheerful laugh, kicking her legs in the air to gain more momentum.Caterina smiled at the happiness of the little girl she considered her child. She returned her fo
In his office, Luka was leading an important meeting with several investors when his cell phone vibrated continuously. Seeing his father's name on the screen, he frowned. Adam rarely contacted him during working hours unless it was important.“Sorry, I have to pick up this phone,” he told the meeting participants before stepping out.“Dad, what's going on? I'm in a meeting.”“Come home now! Your fiancée is having an affair with Alex in our house!” Adam's voice sounded full of anger.Luka was silent for a moment, digesting his father's words. ”What? Dad, that's impossible—”“I saw it myself! They were both in the kitchen, laughing like nothing had happened. Come home now!”Luka sighed deeply. Since taking over the family business after their move, the pressure has been quite heavy. Now, this problem.“All right, I'll go home. But please don't make any more fuss.”Luka returned to the meeting room with a gloomy face. “I'm Sorry, but there are sudden family matters. We'll continue tomorr
In the kitchen, the fragrant aroma of chicken soup wafted in the air, mixed with the scent of garlic and freshly sautéed spices. Warm steam rose from a large pot simmering on the stove, creating a light mist that spread throughout the room.Caterina stood by the stove, stirring the broth with a wooden spatula. Occasionally, she blew on the hot steam that rose to her face, making the strands of hair around her forehead move slightly. Next to her, Alex leaned against the shiny marble table, holding a glass of cold water with condensation on its surface, smiling casually, watching Caterina's deft hands as she cooked.“You're really good at cooking,” said Alex with an admiring tone that was not fake, his eyes observing the way Caterina deftly added spices—such as salt and pepper.Caterina chuckled. "It's just a simple soup; I got the recipe from the internet,’ she said modestly, taking a small spoon to taste the broth. “You can try it later when it's perfectly cooked. It still needs a lit
