Three years of longing turns to ashes when Caterina’s beloved uncle Antonio returns from the mafia underworld—with a pregnant woman by his side, asking to marry on the day once promised to her. Refusing to beg or grieve, she cuts ties with her broken past and weds Salvatore Rossi, a dashing playboy. When Antonio crashes her wedding to beg forgiveness, Caterina walks away without hesitation, closing the door on waiting forever.
