Maya Sartori, 20 years old, a sweet and kind blonde with clear eyes, treats everyone around her well. Since she was a little girl, Maya has had a destiny to fulfill, but she doesn't know what awaits her when her wedding day finally arrives. Maya had a peaceful childhood despite her strict father, who never allowed her to have close relationships with boys or girls. If the contract were not fulfilled, they would both lose everything, even their lives.

Rafael Salvatore, 22 years old, heir to the Italian Mafia, met his future wife when they were both children. He always knew the burden he carried. He was in love with a woman he could never marry, Thays. She always knew that her beloved was destined for another, but she still enjoyed her time with Rafael as much as possible.

Thays Scarlet, 24 years old, ambitious and determined, always sought to break the contract between Rafael and Maya. She made Rafael fall madly in love with her during a trip, and every time Rafael went to Moscow, the two would see each other. Rafael fell so deeply in love that he brought her to live in the same city as him, Trapani, where he will live with Maya after they are married. Trapani is the city where Rafael will inherit his father's assets and illicit businesses.

Vicente Deluca, 23 years old, Rafael's best friend, always warned his friend about getting involved with Thays. After marrying Maya, Thays will have to disappear from his life, but Rafael can't bear the thought of having his beloved far away.

Julio Salvatore, 60 years old, Rafael's father, is about to retire when his son marries Maya. He never supported his son's true love, knowing that she only wants his assets and not his love. Julio always kept Rafael on a short leash, but despite that, they always got along well as father and son. Of course, there were some arguments between the two sometimes, but nothing too serious.

Angelo Sartori, 58 years old, Maya's father, despite having sold his daughter to a mobster, recovered and tried several times to undo the agreement between them, but Julio never allowed it. Despite everything, Angelo was a good father to Maya. He tried to raise her in the best possible way despite the difficulties.

Rosangela, 46 years old, housekeeper of the Salvatore mansion, she practically raised Rafael when his mother died from poisoning, by whom it is not known. Rafael was just a boy. Rosa, as she likes to be called, takes care of the house and Rafael with great affection. She will help Maya and her boy throughout their marriage.

Maya Sartori, heiress to an empire, sold at 10 years old by her own father. Maya always knew about the commitment she would have when she turned 20. Her father sold her because he bankrupted his companies with women and vices. He owns a large mining company, his daughter is his only hope!

Maya is a sweet, ordinary girl, but with a destiny traced by her crazy father. Angelo Sartori buried himself in debt, women, and drinks after his wife died from cancer, leaving him with only his daughter, Maya! Drowning in debt, he mortgaged the house they lived in, the last asset remaining to that family.

Angelo - "Martins, I need help!"

Martins - "Angelo, I already told you I can't help you!"

Martins was Angelo's best friend and brother-in-law, always did everything to help his friend, but at some point things change. Martins couldn't keep covering for his friend, not this time.

Angelo - "Damn you, you'll pay for this! You're scum and one day you'll need me..." Angelo yells from outside Martins' house. Overcome with pity, Martins opens the door.

Martins - "Talk to this man, but be careful, he's an Italian Don, he might be able to help you."

Martins hands a small piece of paper to his friend, goes inside, and closes the door. Angelo, stumbling, opens the paper and looks at the name. Julio Salvatore!

He walks through the alleys asking for that name, on the paper there was only an address, the name of a street. So he searches until he finally finds it. He talks to two men who are very rude to him, they grab him by the collar and take him to the second floor of a seemingly abandoned building. The men throw him on the floor.

Man - "Sir, this wretch was looking for you."

Julio - "Who are you and what do you want with me?"

Angelo - "They told me you could help me. I'm in debt."

Julio - "Well, well, I've become a charity worker now, helping people, boys!" They start laughing as Julio crosses his legs on the table and smokes a cigar.

Angelo gets up from the floor and looks at the Don.

Angelo - "Please, sir, I'm desperate. I have a mining company and I'm going bankrupt, I lost my house today, it was the last thing I had left."

Julio - "And how do you plan on paying me back?"

Angelo - "However you want. Please, just help me."

Julio - "You nouveau riche don't know how to manage the assets you have. Let's say I help you, what do I gain if you have nothing?"

Angelo - "I have nothing left but my 10-year-old daughter."

Julio takes his feet off the table, then takes the cigar out of his mouth, staring at Angelo.

Julio - "A 10-year-old daughter!?"

Angelo - "Yes, she's all I have left, I can't leave her on the streets, please help me."

Julio gets up and walks over to Angelo, stopping in front of him.

Julio - "Very well, I understand! What's your name?"

Angelo - "My name is Angelo!"

Julio - "Nice to meet you, Angelo, have a seat!"

Angelo finds the Don's reaction strange, but he sits down anyway. Julio sits down opposite him.

Julio - "I'll help you."

Angelo smiles excitedly!

Angelo - "Really? You won't regret it, I'll work to pay off my debt, I swear."

Julio starts laughing along with his henchmen.

Julio - "I don't want your money, Angelo!" He takes a puff of his cigar.

Angelo - "No? So what do you want?"

Julio smiles devilishly, looking at the idiot in front of him.

Julio - "I want your daughter!" At that moment, Angelo jumps out of his chair.

Angelo - "What do you mean my daughter? She's only 10 years old, I already told you!"

Julio - "Calm down, man, I heard you! I don't want your daughter for myself, I have a 12-year-old heir. When he comes of age, he'll have to marry to continue my legacy. Rafael needs a virgin bride to take over my business so we don't lose power, so your daughter fits perfectly."

Angelo - "No, I can't do that!"

Julio - "Come on, man, why not? You came here desperate, your daughter is a girl now, but ten years from now she'll be a woman. You just have to make sure she doesn't get involved with anyone and knows her duties." He smiles, looking at him!

Angelo - "I can't." He stands up, agitated. Julio gets up too, holding his shoulders.

Julio - "Is it really that bad? She'll be the wife of a mafia heir! She'll have riches, luxuries, and anything she wants. She just needs to save herself for him."

Angelo was shocked by the possibility, but his situation was delicate, he had no choice!

Angelo - "If I accept, do you promise to take care of my little girl?"

Julio - "Of course, she'll be family. I'll give you the money to recover, buy back all your possessions. I'll leave her with you until she's 20, then she marries Rafael and becomes his wife!"

Angelo cries, not knowing what he's getting himself into, but the situation left him desperate, so he says with a trembling voice!

Angelo - "Yes, I accept." He lowers his head as Julio smiles!

Julio - "Perfect! I'll have my men take you home. I'll be there tomorrow with my son to meet your little girl! I'll bring the contract and the money."

Angelo - "Alright."

Julio extends his hand to Angelo, who shakes it firmly, his expression is one of sadness, but if he didn't sell his daughter they would starve and go through hardship. The henchmen take Angelo to his house and leave him there.

The next day Julio went with Rafael to Angelo's house to meet Maya. Julio went into the office with Angelo to take care of the paperwork while Maya and Rafael played together in the garden.

Julio - Well, Angelo, the money is here!

He opens a suitcase full of money! Angelo goes to pick it up, but Julio pulls him away.

Angelo - But first you will agree to sign a contract on my terms, guaranteeing your daughter's virginity and that at the age of 20 she will marry and live in Trapani with Rafael.

Angelo signs everything guaranteeing the contract. After everything has been agreed, the two children enter the room and Angelo is forced to talk to his daughter.

Angelo - Darling, come here! - She walked over to her father, who was already teary-eyed! Julio stopped beside his son, looking at the girl. Angelo took hold of her shoulders and bent down to the girl's height.

Angelo - Daughter, this is Rafael!

Maya - I know, Dad, we've met.

Angelo - So daughter . Rafael will be your husband in the future. You were born to be his wife, you are still two children but you will be trained and molded to be a good wife.

Maya looks at Rafael and just smiles!

Angelo - Do you understand, dear?

Maya - Got it Dad .

Julio - Great !

Julio - We will be in Moscow following Angelo, to ensure that our contract is not broken in any way. When Maya turns 15, she'll have a security guard I trust with her wherever she goes, understand?

Angelo - Is that really necessary?

Julio \ - Do you still want the money?

Angelo stands up and takes a deep breath!

Angelo - Yes !

Julio \ - Then it's necessary!

Julio takes Rafael's hand and they leave. Rafael waves to Maya! The two naïve men don't know what fate has in store for them, after Julio has gone home, Angelo has locked himself in his office solving his money problem.

Martins comes bursting through the door!

Angelo - What are you doing here ? - Angelo was holding the suitcase of money !

Martins - That money ? Did you get it from the guy I told you about?

Angelo - It's none of your business since you didn't want to help me!

Martins - I tried to help him several times but he wouldn't listen.

Angelo - That's enough Martins . I had to make the worst choice of my life and I don't want you here to judge me!

Martins - What did you do?

Angelo - It's none of your business! - Angelo shouts at his friend. At that moment Maya comes through the door!

Maya - Daddy ? - Seeing Martins she smiles !

Maya - Hi Uncle. - She goes up to him and hugs him!

Martins - Hi dear . How are you?

Maya - Well, did you know I have a fiance! Dad, what's a fiance?

Martins looks at Angelo, still hugging the girl!

Angelo - Maya go play, let daddy work!

Maya - Okay ! - The girl gets off her uncle's lap, leaving them alone ! Martins gets up.

Martins - You sold your daughter ? I can't believe you did that!

Angelo - I had no choice. - He starts to cry!

Angelo - But he's promised me that he'll pick her up when she's 20 and that she'll be well looked after!

Martins - Did you have no choice? Didn't you have anything else to give that man?

Angelo - Believe me, if I had I would have. Now get out of my house and forget what you've heard here!

Angelo shouts at his friend!

Martins turns his back and leaves Angelo's house!

5 years later ...

Julio did what he promised, he put a 24-hour security guard on Maya, she couldn't have any friends because the bastard wouldn't let her, every year my torment increased, my daughter sold and with no choice will have to get married to pay off my debts. Despite everything, Maya understood that this was our destiny, I'd fucked up and she'd have to pay for it. Unfortunately I couldn't undo the contract, he's a powerful mobster, he threatened to kill me and Maya if I tried anything. My hands were tied and I was powerless. I managed to recover and I could give him the money back, but Julio didn't want me to. My daughter will grow up fated to pay for a mistake I made.

10 years later ...

Maya narrating ...

Today I'm twenty years old, I've become an adult woman, I wish I could say that I'm independent too, but I'm not, I'm tied to a contract marriage! My father screwed up in the past and I'll have to pay for it.

I met Rafael when I was 10 years old, I hardly remember his face and features, I don't know if he's a good man or not, I don't know if I'll fall in love with him or not, only that I'll have to leave my home, my life to live a life that doesn't belong to me. I'm in the garden when I hear shouting in the living room. I go there!

Angelo - She's just turned 20, can't you at least wait one more day? For me to say goodbye to my daughter?

Man - No, Don Salvatore had her taken away and she belongs to him now.

My father was crying a lot, and I approached him holding his arms.

Maya - It's okay, Dad, I'll go with them! I'll be fine, I promise.

Angelo - Forgive me, my daughter!

Maya - I'm sorry, Dad, don't worry, I'll let you know.

My father was crying on the floor, the men grabbed my arm and led me out of my house.

Maya - I can't even take my things?

Man - No, the Salvatore mansion has everything you need.

I just took my cell phone and we left my father's house. I've lived my whole life in this house, this is my home, and I'm leaving with a broken heart.
