Alina Karamazov has been played badly in the hands of life, misfortune and destiny. At seven years old she lost a sister and a brother. She lost another sister all at the hands of her family's blood feudists. The Morozovs. Alina miraculously survives a great fire at her family mansion. It was almost impossible for her to live again but her father sends her to America to get the best treatment while in Russia he holds a fake funeral for his daughter and declares her dead to the world for her own safety.

Ten years later Alina blooms into a kindhearted and pure woman. Feminine and soft spoken. She develops a sense of love for literature and philosophy and gratitude for the world except the Morozovs. She hates them and that name alone makes acid run down her veins. At the verge of being an eighteen year old teenager she unexpectedly encounters the infamous rival mobster, Raphael Morozov.

Simultaneously, Raphael learns of a hidden daughter of his rival. In the middle of a striking deal with the Americans, the allies of the Karamazovs, he learns that Alina Karamazov never died in the first place. Instead she was hidden away for her protection. What happens when Raphael finds Alina, the golden key of accessing the western territories of Russia and a leverage over his rivals the Karamazovs?

Raphael ties Alina in a forced marriage and thats when destiny wrote the poems of a love so vile and so forbidden that even made hate cry for love. The cruelty of marriage made Alina to make a vow. She swears that she will become Raphael's greatest Affliction. Will these two ever stop from afflicting and tormenting each other? Will these two ever realize that there is more to love than hate?

''For without thy affliction, there is no affection. And without thy affection there is no affliction.''
