Katarina Andretti, the top graduate of her college, believed her future was already mapped out. However, her world turned upside down when she discovered her gambling-addicted and alcoholic father had landed them in deep trouble. A massive debt of ten million dollars to a notorious local mafia boss, Mr. Alejandro King, was the result of a reckless decision made during her graduation party. Unbeknownst to Katarina, her father now found himself sitting across from the ruthless leader in a high-stakes poker game. Alejandro King, a powerful mafia boss, faced his own dilemmas. His patience for tardy payments from clients was wearing thin, and to maintain his grip on the family's power, he needed to marry by his twenty-fifth birthday or risk losing control to his cousin, Javier. The moment he laid eyes on Katarina, her beauty and innocent charm captivated him. He believed she could be the ideal solution – a blend of grace and intellect. Hoping to secure her hand in marriage, Alejandro approached Katarina's father, Chase Tomas, who initially refused. Undeterred, Alejandro challenged Tomas to a high-stakes poker match, knowing his opponent's weakness. What no one suspected was that the game had been meticulously planned to ensure Alejandro's victory, as he was relentless in obtaining what he desired, and Katarina was the prize he aimed for at any cost.
