The news that Angelo Rizzo was becoming the new Don of Brucklin District had spread throughout the entire family. Everyone knew except me, Lila Bennett, his fiancee. He had always thought I was childish, like an irritating tail he couldn't shake off, sticking to him wherever he went. "I've only managed to bag Brucklin District all thanks to Cyrus." The study door was ajar as the scent of cigar smoke drifted out along with his voice. "Lila? Why bring her up? She's annoying. Like a piece of gum stuck to your hair." I crouched on the hallway carpet, lost in thought. Before, it was always Angelo leaving first and me realizing it too late. This time, I wanted to surprise him by going to Brucklin ahead of him. When he saw me there first, he'd realize that I was smart. But the next day, at the bus station, when the driver asked where I was going, I mixed Brucklin and Mannattan up. The driver grew impatient. Afraid he'd call me an idiot like Angelo would, I hurriedly shove the money at him. "To Mannattan! I'm going to Mannattan District!"

Lila's POVOne year passed by quickly.I learned to recognize quite a lot of words. Marissa taught me how to write my name and Cyrus's. She said, "These are the two most important names in your life."I made a lot of new friends.Mike would take me to the park to feed pigeons. George taught me how to bake. Dr. Hopkins would praise me for my progress every time I visited him, saying I was recovering much quicker than he expected."Half a year more of medication and rehabilitation, and you'll be like any ordinary person."Dr. Hopkins handed Cyrus my medical report with a smile. "It's all thanks to you, training with her every day. If it was anyone else, they would've run out of patience."Cyrus held my hand as his finger traced across my palm. "Then, let's set our wedding date half a year from now when you've fully recovered."We received many wedding gifts from different people. Cyrus got George to return all but two.One of them was from Valentina, the girl from the Hayes fami

Lila's POV"Lila! I combed through the entire Regina County just to look for you. I haven't slept in half a month, yet you…"Angelo suppressed his anger and reached his hand out to me, saying with a little anticipation, "Come here."I hid behind Cyrus, clutching him tightly, not daring to look at Angelo one bit.Angelo's gaze darkened even more when he saw my reaction, yet he forced himself to snicker at Cyrus, saying, "Cyrus, I don't blame Lila because she's a little bit slow, but you should give me an explanation on how my fiancee ended up with you.""It has nothing to do with him!"Before Cyrus could say anything, I popped my head out and said clearly, albeit with a little tremble in my voice, "I stopped wanting to become your fiancee for a long time!""What did you say?"Angelo was dumbstruck. He went forward, about to grab me."You used to look forward to marrying me every single day! It's only been half a month and yet you've changed. Even a lost dog who's been gone for

He will be able to spend more time with you for a long time now!"I excitedly jumped off the swing with the unfinished cherry bracelet in my hand.When I saw a figure coming over, I excitedly ran over and hugged him. "You're back!"He caught hold of me and patted me on my head gently.Just when I was about to hand him the bracelet, I looked up, only to be caught off guard.The man in front of me was wearing the black suit that Angelo would usually wear, but he was not Angelo.I blinked in confusion as the bracelet fell to the ground. I asked in bafflement, "W-Who are you?"…As the storm went on, rain hitting on the glass windows, Cyrus sat on the leather couch looking at me with a warm gaze.He chuckled. "I see. There I was, still wondering why there was no information of a Lila in the Hayes family. I know that Valentina Hayes, the one that I was supposed to marry,
