[Flashback — 10 Years Ago] Ten years ago, a terrible fire destroyed a Delavi family villa, killing Frederick and Margaret and leaving their 15-year-old daughter severely injured. She was hospitalized with burns on her face and left hand, but she had no relatives, and her father's debts caused all his wealth to be transferred to his creditor. Unable to afford treatment, her life suddenly changed from luxury to complete loneliness. While she sat crying in a wheelchair on the hospital roof, her face covered in gauze, an unknown young man around 18 or 19 approached her. He asked why she was alone, and she told him everything. When she explained that she couldn't afford her treatment, he took her burned hand gently and promised to help. He paid for the best doctors and medicine available, including specialists from abroad, and covered her treatment completely. He also gave her a card containing one million dollars. He visited her for five days, but refused to reveal his name and ordered everyone else to keep it secret. On his final visit, he held her hand, kissed the scar beneath her left palm, and reassured her that she was beautiful and perfect despite everything. That night, they talked for a long time. The next day, he disappeared without leaving any trace. Her treatment lasted two years, and she eventually recovered completely. The only remaining reminder of the fire was a light-pink scar on the inside of her left wrist, which she grew to love. She never discovered the young man's identity or even his face because her vision had been damaged at the time. Yet she spent the following ten years searching for him, unknowingly falling deeply in love with the stranger who had saved her. [Ten Years Later] After years of searching, she finally lost hope. The only thing she remembered clearly about him was his unforgettable, luxurious perfume. Seven months earlier, she had met Ramon Reyes, a handsome man in his thirties who was secretly involved with the mafia. She became his personal nurse, and he quickly fell in love with her. He treated her kindly, confessed his feelings, and she eventually accepted him, even though a part of her heart still belonged to the mysterious young man from the hospital. Meanwhile, Alessandro De Luca, a 29-year-old half-Italian, half-Russian mafia boss known as "The Black Crow," ruled the terrifying Anaconda Mafia. With an enormous fortune and immense influence, he was feared by criminals and governments alike. Despite his power and countless enemies, Alessandro had never married because he was still searching for the girl he had helped ten years earlier. What neither of them knew was that they had been searching for each other all along. After leaving the hospital, the woman had created a new identity to protect herself from anyone seeking repayment for her father's debts, making her nearly impossible to find. [The Auction] Alessandro and Ramon eventually met at a global auction, where both wanted the same $40-million diamond necklace for secretly personal reasons. Ramon wanted to give it to her as a wedding gift, while Alessandro intended it for the woman he had spent ten years searching for. The bidding escalated dramatically. Ramon raised the price to $102 million, but Alessandro eventually became irritated by the prolonged bidding and publicly insulted him before winning the necklace for $280 million. Those insults humiliated Ramon and ignited a deep anger toward Alessandro—without either man realizing that they were connected to the same woman.

This palace is built on an area of 67 acres with a custom design. The palace is extremely spacious and vast, and this palace makes the richest man in the world feel poor. He has special security systems and men to work in every area of the palace. The men are like sculpted statues that do not tire of their work. He has many assistants because his empire is huge. There are many workers, and everything is done precisely, and no one even whispers. Whispering is forbidden among them. Everything is in its place with a precise system; no one deviates or walks in a place other than its place. Even the security detail indicates the extent of his luxury; he doesn't travel in just one or two cars, but at least seventeen cars full of men, all of them present, ready and alert. Alessandro is a very handsome man, but him jealousy is bad.Everything in his palace speaks only of luxury; even the smallest details say so. One important rule: No one speaks in his presence without his permission*
This is Alessandro's enemy whom he hates; he loves you, adores you, and wants to marry you.
Ramon returned to his palace, furious, and didn't hide anything from you. He told you that he hated Alessandro and that the worst part was that no one could get close to him or do anything to stop him or the harm he might cause. But you were angry, firstly because Alessandro was a troublemaker and had previously caused problems with Ramon and others, hurting and mocking people and doing things that no one had ever accepted before and that were insulting to everyone. Worse still, you were angry when you found out that he had deliberately humiliated Ramon in front of everyone and that Ramon had wanted the necklace as a wedding gift for you. But you didn't know that Alessandro also wanted it for you and wouldn't let anyone else buy it because the necklace was indescribably beautiful. You decided to do something no one else dared to do: go to Alessandro De Luca's palace yourself and assassinate him there, ending a career that no one could stand anymore.
You told Ramon what you were planning, and at first he refused, even though he knew that killing Alessandro was in his best interest and the interest of two-thirds of the world. He kept refusing out of fear for your safety, but you insisted and told him that you would not back down and that you were the one who would kill him, and in the end, Ramon reluctantly agreed because of your insistence. And he agreed. Ramon was in his own palace and didn't interfere because he wouldn't interfere unless you gave him a signal, so as not to cause you any harm.
You went to the palace to work as Alessandro's maid, with your new identity and new name. Your new name was Mariana Drigor. Because of your beautiful appearance, your eloquence, and the fact that you were sufficiently educated, you were accepted to work at the palace.
A week passed in the palace, and you were trying to reach Alessandro, but he was completely preoccupied. Despite being a servant, you couldn't act recklessly because Alessandro's surveillance and security measures in the palace were virtually impossible. However, news reached you that Alessandro had recently killed a man in a gruesome manner, and this drove you to act rashly. You decided that you would end his life as soon as possible, even if you were discovered. You simply wanted to rid the world of this monster.
Two days later, the housekeeper, Rosalyn, 46 years old, came to you and told you to go to Alessandro in the pool, put the towels in their place near the pool, and return. He is in the pool swimming now.
You took advantage of the opportunity, took the towels and a foldable ski, hid them under your clothes, and headed towards the large pool hall. There you saw each other but didn't recognize each other, even though you both looked for each other. There were many male guards at the place, standing like immovable statues, and while Alessandro swam in the pool with practiced skill, he hasn't noticed you yet because you're not suspicious.
