King of Wrath

Vivian Lau, heiress to the Lau jewelry company and a luxury event planner, is called back to Boston by her father, Francis, who arranges her marriage to Dante Russo, CEO of the Russo Corporation. Unbeknownst to Vivian, Francis blackmails Dante into the engagement by threatening to expose compromising photos of Dante’s brother, Luca, which could put Luca’s life in danger. Determined to find the photos and destroy them, Dante secretly plots revenge against Francis while reluctantly going through with the marriage. As Vivian moves into Dante’s apartment, they clash over their personalities and circumstances, but undeniable attraction and moments of bonding—such as their shared love for simple foods—begin to shift their dynamic. Meanwhile, Vivian’s ex-boyfriend, Heath, resurfaces, prompting Dante’s jealousy, which culminates in their first sexual encounter.

With his support, she confronts her family, standing up to her father while finding some reconciliation with her mother. Although hesitant at first, Vivian rekindles her relationship with Dante, and they ultimately reconcile fully. In the epilogue, they marry, with her mother assuming the father-of-the-bride duties while her father attends merely as a guest. As they share a private moment at their wedding, Vivian finds peace in knowing she has built a new home with Dante.
