Eşref Tek built his empire from the shadows, becoming one of Istanbul's most feared and powerful men.
But long before the wealth, danger, and bloodshed, he was a fourteen-year-old boy who met a girl named Rüya. They became childhood friends, and she became the first person to see the man behind his hardened exterior.
The last time Eşref saw her, she was sixteen. Then her family remained in Italy, and Rüya disappeared from his life. Eşref never stopped searching for the girl he loved.
Years later, his carefully arranged engagement to mafia heiress Asena Kartel collapses when Rüya suddenly returns.
Eşref immediately breaks off the engagement, choosing the woman he has spent years dreaming about. Humiliated and consumed by jealousy, Asena refuses to accept that she has lost him.
Her heartbreak turns into obsession, and obsession slowly turns into madness. She vows to destroy the woman Eşref loves most.
But Rüya carries a secret even she doesn't know. Born in Turkey as Ayla Şadoğlu, the missing first daughter of ruthless mafia boss İhtiyar and Gülümser Hanım, she was lost after an earthquake and raised in Florence by an Italian family as Aphrodite Violetta Ferrari Rossellini.
Now Eşref must protect the woman he never forgot while two powerful mafia families collide and the truth threatens to change everything.
