Sofia, the sole heir to the Vitorini family—Sicily's oldest mafia clan—spent three years living incognito as an impoverished student to escape a deadly family feud. She secretly leveraged her family's resources to help her boyfriend, Liam, establish Carter Financial; however, while proposing to him in a wedding gown, she caught him in the act with Molly, the princess of an Irish crime family. Humiliated and kidnapped, she was taken to an underground casino. Just as the situation turned critical, the family’s loyal steward, Antonio, arrived, and Sofia revealed her true identity as the heir. Liam paid a massive ransom to rescue only Molly, leaving Sofia to break the legs of the thug, Ross, and vow to exact ultimate revenge at the couple's wedding.
