Chapter 2 - chapter 2

During her time working at the restaurant, Amaya meets Kross Phantom, an infamous playboy known for his abnormal interests. Kross starts developing feelings for Amaya and starts pursuing her relentlessly, despite her clear rejection of his advances.

One day, Amaya stubbles upon a beautiful ruby pendant and impetuously decides to sell it to cover Calvin's medical expenses. Unknown to her, the pendant belongs to Kris Phantom, who values it dearly. Determined to retrieve his precious possession, Kris seeks out Amaya, but rather than taking her as a slave as expected, he becomes fascinated by her resilience and independence.

Meanwhile, the Phantom family faces internal confusion when Kristen Phantom, Kris's brother, discovers that Kross has betrayed him by sleeping with Kristen's fiancée, Jaden Ravenwood. Seeking revenge, Amaya is Kristen's target, using her as a pawn to inflict pain upon Kross. With the help of his bodyguard, Flynn Martin, and devoted woman, Sandra Scott, Kristen begins a dangerous game of tricks, which further complicates Amaya's life and fuels tensions within the Phantom family

As the feud between the Phantom Triplets escalates, Kross, driven by rage and jealousy, proposes a plan to Kris to secure Amaya as a slave, intending to use her as a weapon against Kristen. Caught between the warring brothers, Amaya must navigate a treacherous web of deceit, betrayal, and violence.

Another rival mafia boss, Ricardo Ravenwood, emerges as a significant player in New York's criminal underworld. With his agenda and connections to the Phantom Mafias, Ricardo adds further danger and complexity to Amaya's already precarious situation.
