Chapter 1: The Ice and the Ring


The fiancée pours an entire pitcher of ice water over four-year-old Ilaria, leaving her soaked and violently trembling in her wheelchair.
"Say 'Mom' before I refill it."
Evren rushes in, wraps his jacket around his daughter, and hears her sob, "Daddy…
she says Mom disappeared because of me."
He dumps an ice bucket over his fiancée, sending her crashing to the floor.
"Believe that brat, and this wedding is over."
Evren drops her engagement ring into the empty bucket.
"A wedding?
