My name is Kiara Reed. When my sister Valentina Reed and I turned eighteen, our father, the head of the Reed family, gave us a choice. One of us would take over the family's territory and business in the South Side of Zicago, and the other would be sent to marry into the Monti family, who ruled the North Side with an iron fist. In my previous life, Valentina was obsessed with gaining family power and didn't hesitate to take over the family business. But she only cared about living the good life, partying, and slacking off while completely neglecting the family business. Within a year, she blew through the family fortune, burned every bridge, and the Reed family's assets were seized by rivals. In the end, she was left with nothing. As for me, I was used as a bargaining chip and married off to Marcus Monti. I bore him two sons and managed to secure my place in that ruthless Monti family. Valentina's jealousy consumed her. During a family Christmas dinner, she stabbed me repeatedly until I died, her rage unleashed in front of everyone. When I opened my eyes, I found myself back in the day when we had to make our choice. Valentina jumped in before I could speak, her voice shaking with excitement. She declared, "I want to marry Marcus Monti. Kiara can take over the family turf." I couldn't help but laugh at my foolish sister. The Monti family was pure hell on earth, and she was walking right into it.
