The Don's Unwanted Daughter

Plot summary

"On Christmas Eve, a Mafia boss strikes his eldest daughter, Vivian, from the family shareholder registry and names his younger daughter in her place—all in front of his lawyer. ""She's adopted. She's not my real daughter."" One lie is all it takes to freeze Vivian's Stanford admission review. Her younger sister crushes her acceptance letter, turns her bedroom into a cat room, and pours scalding tea over her bleeding legs. No one even remembers her eighteenth birthday. So Vivian legally severs all ties with her family and flies to California with just three keepsakes. Three years later, at an international finance summit, the youngest rising star in quantitative finance takes the stage. In the audience sit the parents who would give anything to get their daughter back. But it's too late."
