Dominic fulfills his vow, then reveals his true power to reclaim his empire.
Dominic spent a century ruling Sin City as its Gambling God before locking himself into a five-year marriage contract with Tia to honor an old promise. He worked the docks in rags while his concealed wealth and influence quietly hoisted her clan to dominance, yet they mocked his poverty daily. On the contract's last day, Tia publicly shames him, prompting Dominic to sign the divorce papers, shed his disguise, and step back onto the throne he never truly left. Now the woman who called him worthless watches the gates she once guarded slam shut.
