The Godfather's Caged Bird
Ten years caged. One chance at Cambridge. She flies.
Eighteen-year-old Elena Bennett watches her academic future dissolve when Damian Moretti, heir to a New York crime dynasty, erases her mother's crushing underground debt. The price is a decade inside the Moretti estate, where silk sheets and marble halls mask a total absence of choice. By twenty-eight, the gilded bars feel permanent—until Damian secures a political marriage to Victoria Rossi. While the household expects pleas for jewelry or status, Elena requests only a chance to sit her Cambridge entrance exams. Convinced she will fail, Damian ships her to a lookalike college to humiliate her, and Victoria soon frames her for theft. Damian backs the alliance, severing the last thread connecting Elena to the man who owns her.
