Chapter 1

I arrived at the hotel with a stomachache, only to find my fiancé, Lorenzo, throwing Chloe a lavish birthday celebration complete with fireworks.It was Chloe's birthday.A sky full of romantic fireworks, 999 roses, and a magnificent five-tier cake. Every detail was a testament to how much she meant to them.My brother, Ethan, was there, too. He and Lorenzo were chatting happily with Chloe.Meanwhile, I stood forgotten in a corner, where no one seemed to notice me.The three of them looked so comfortable together.They seemed more like a family than I ever had.Lorenzo was fastening a diamond necklace around Chloe's neck.He smiled tenderly."It's like it was made just for you."Chloe giggled and asked, "Who do you think is prettier, me or Sophia?"Lorenzo looked at her affectionately."You're obviously the prettiest."A dull ache spread through my chest.That necklace was the one Lorenzo had spent three sleepless nights designing for our anniversary.He had once kissed my cheek and wh

When I returned to the estate, I began packing my things.I gathered every gift Lorenzo and Ethan had ever given me and packed them into cardboard boxes.Then I instructed the housekeeper to burn them.I wasn't taking a single thing they'd given me.When I finished, I stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked out at the lonely swing in the garden.There used to be a lavender field there.I loved lavender, so Lorenzo and Ethan had once hired the best horticulturist they could find to teach them how to grow rare varieties.They had secretly spent three months learning everything they could before planting the entire field with their own hands.Back then, they always told me that every summer, the estate would be filled with my favorite lavender.But everything changed after Chloe moved in.She claimed to be allergic to the scent of lavender and said she preferred swings.Without a second thought, Lorenzo and Ethan had torn out the entire flower field and replaced it with a swi

When I woke up again, Lorenzo and Ethan were standing beside my bed.Their faces were filled with genuine concern."Are you feeling better?" Lorenzo asked anxiously. "Sophia, you've had a fever all night."My lips were too dry for me to speak.Ethan noticed immediately and handed me a glass of water.Lorenzo sat beside me, checked my forehead to make sure my fever had gone down, and then offered me a sandwich."Are you hungry? Try to eat something."The moment Lorenzo leaned closer, I caught the scent of Chloe's perfume on him.My stomach immediately lurched.The next second, I threw up the sandwich.Ethan frowned slightly and gently patted my back as I struggled through the nausea.Lorenzo looked at me with concern."Are you feeling sick again?"I calmly shook my head."I'm fine. I just don't have an appetite.""If you don't have much of an appetite, I'll have a nutritionist come over and help adjust your diet," Ethan said kindly.Before he could do anything, Lorenzo had already calle

I used the excuse of needing to prepare for our engagement ceremony to return to Los Angeles ahead of them.Neither Lorenzo nor Ethan came to see me off.They were busy accompanying Chloe as she picked out bracelets.Ethan gently patted my head and told me to let him know when I arrived at the estate.Lorenzo simply pulled me into a light embrace."Take care on the way, my darling Sophia."That evening, just as I stepped off the plane, I received a provocative photo from Chloe.She had also posted it on social media.In the picture, she was wearing a wedding dress and holding Lorenzo's arm.There was no diamond ring on her finger.The comments were filled with congratulations.Soon afterward, Lorenzo sent me an explanation.[Sophia, don't get the wrong idea. Chloe just thought it would be fun to try on a wedding dress. She didn't wear your ring.][Don't worry. I don't mind.]Lorenzo immediately followed up.[Are you angry? It was just a joke.]I replied coldly.[No.]Perhaps my calm re

Lorenzo's POVI stood at the engagement venue in a custom-tailored suit, holding a bouquet of flowers and silently rehearsing the proposal speech I'd prepared for Sophia.I couldn't wait for her to arrive.But I waited and waited, and Sophia never showed up.A terrible feeling crept into my chest.This was the engagement ceremony Sophia had been looking forward to for so long. She would never be late without a reason.Had something happened to her?My heart began pounding. I quickly grabbed my phone and called the butler, asking whether Sophia was home."Mr. Valentti, Miss Sophia left early this morning with her luggage. She said she'd arranged to go on vacation with you. Isn't she with you?"My phone slipped from my hand and crashed onto the floor."She lied? Where did she go?"Ethan rushed over and grabbed my arm."What happened?""Get your assistant to track Chloe's phone. Now!"Ethan looked confused, but he immediately pulled out his phone and made a call.Just then, Chloe approach

Lorenzo's POVEthan and I left the engagement ceremony and sped toward the airport.He opened the car door and immediately called our parents.Five minutes later, he hung up and looked at me anxiously."My parents haven't heard from Sophia either."I clenched my fists.Seeing my grim expression, Ethan asked nervously,"Do you think Sophia might really have left us?"My expression turned icy."Impossible! Sophia loves me more than anyone."Ethan's gaze suddenly shifted away. His expression softened with emotion."You're right. She gave up her dream of becoming a designer just to stay with you. She waited five whole years for you. Now that you're finally about to get married, how could she possibly walk away?"The moment he mentioned marriage, it felt as though someone had lashed my heart with a whip."As long as I can find her, I'll do anything for her. I'll never let us be apart again."But when we arrived at the airport, I realized the situation was far worse than I'd imagined.I mobi

Chapter 7

Sophia's POVI canceled the engagement unilaterally, ended our five-year relationship once and for all, and flew to England.Even after I landed, the news was still full of reports about the Los Angeles Mafia Don whose fiancée had disappeared.It didn't matter to me anymore.I was far more excited about the new life waiting for me.Unfortunately, one of Lorenzo's men happened to be in England, too.I lowered my cap and hurried past him with my head down.He seemed to notice something unusual and suddenly turned around, following me.Just when I thought I was about to be recognized, a tall figure pulled me into the shadows of a nearby alley.I almost screamed.But when I looked up, I found myself staring at a handsome face.The man put a finger to his lips, signaling me to stay quiet.Then he braced one hand against the wall and leaned toward me, pretending we were an intimate couple.Lorenzo's man searched the area for a while, but eventually gave up and walked away.Only then did the

The next morning, I went to work at the design institute as usual.The moment I opened the door, I saw Lorenzo and Ethan standing outside.I immediately stepped back and coldly slammed the door shut.Lorenzo reacted quickly, wedging half his body into the doorway."We're here to apologize!"I replied expressionlessly."There's no need."Ethan hurriedly added,"Sophia, please come home with us. Mom and Dad miss you so much, too. Can you forgive us?"I looked at them indifferently."Stop coming here. I don't want to see either of you again."Lorenzo felt as though his heart were being torn apart.His lips trembled. He was afraid I would come to hate him.In the end, he could only turn and leave.I caught one last glimpse of the pleading look in his eyes.Who would have thought that the notorious Mafia Don of New York could ever look so desperate?After Lorenzo and Ethan left, I let out a long breath.Even the air around me seemed fresher.I checked the security cameras and made sure they

Chapter 9

I froze for a moment before quickly rolling up the window.Adrian immediately noticed the change in my expression.He asked cautiously,"Do you know them?"I answered calmly."My ex-fiancé and my brother."Adrian's pupils trembled, and his hands tightened around the steering wheel."Can I ask you something? You once told me that you had no choice but to flee Los Angeles and come to England. Was it because of them?"I nodded slightly."They want to reconcile with me."I noticed that Adrian's face had gone a little pale.After a long silence, he seemed to gather his courage and finally asked nervously,"Would you ever get back together with your ex?"I smiled faintly."Absolutely not."Adrian's heart skipped a beat.He glanced at me, and the light that had disappeared from his eyes suddenly returned.But the next second, his expression changed dramatically.His voice trembled."Something's wrong! The brakes aren't working!""What?"I blurted out.Could Lorenzo and Ethan have tampered wit
