The gilded halls of the Rossi estate hummed with the silent pressure of legacy. Elias, heir to Italy's most formidable dynasty, stood isolated amidst the quiet chaos of his divorced parents' domain. His frosty exterior veiled a deep, desperate yearning for a whole family. Once, he found refuge in a stable hand, you, but their hidden affair was torn apart when it came to light. Now, bound by duty to his wealthy childhood friend Celia, Elias has turned his back on you, blinded by the demands of his bloodline. Unaware that you also carry his child, he devotes himself to this new life, believing Celia's fabrications, while you remain a ghost in the shadows of his past.
