Pharsa "Young lady" Moretti, the untouchable and ruthless mafia queen, has everything she could ever want-power, control, and a legacy built on fear. But there's one thing she's always craved and never allowed herself to have: love. Her heart, hardened by years of betrayal and loss, remains firmly locked away, untouched by the softer emotions she's convinced herself she doesn't need.

Lancelot, her loyal guard, believes his daughter, Odette, is the key to softening her cold heart. His request? For Pharsa to make Odette fall in love with her-but under one condition: no mafia games, no manipulation.

Pharsa agrees, but with a twist of her own. Instead of pursuing her as the feared, cold-hearted leader she is, she creates a masquerade-Beatrix.

Beatrix moves in the shadows, becoming a mysterious and captivating figure in Odette's life, always one step away from revealing her true identity.

As Beatrix carefully cultivates this new personality, the lines between truth and illusion begin to blur. Odette is drawn to this stranger, the one who is both comforting and enigmatic, but she doesn't know the woman standing before her holds a dangerous secret. Beatrix's heart, begins to stir as she gets closer to Odette-though it's unclear whether it's real love or just the result of the emotional web she's carefully spun.

But as their relationship deepens, Odette starts to notice strange coincidences. While, Odette's past seems to have hidden layers too, things Beatrix never expected to uncover. And the deeper she goes, the more she realizes she might not be the only one hiding something.

And when the truth is finally revealed, will their love survive the dark shadows that surround them, or will their secrets destroy them both?
