---- Chapter 1 After my accident, Ricky Lenza's sister, Audrey Lenza, rushed to the hospital in a panic. She took one look at my numb and eerily calm face, then gently held my hand, her voice soft with sorrow. "Summer, don't be sad. You and Ricky can still have children in the future. Right now, what matters is your recovery. You should be healthy and radiant when you walk down the aisle." "There won't be a wedding." I turned my face away, wiped the corner of my eye without letting her see, and opened a news article on my phone. I handed it to her.

As the Mafia Don of the Lenza family, he made headlines no matter what he did. And yet, I pretended not to care, continuing to play the perfect future Donna. But when the woman he loved deliberately caused the accident that took my mother and child from me, something inside me broke for good. Audrey stared at the screen, stunned.

After a long sigh, she gave up trying to persuade me. "It's Ricky who wronged you. I'll make sure you get the answer you deserve. Three days from now, you'll be free. As for your mother and the baby..." At that moment, a nurse brought over the tiny bundle. Even in my battered state when they rushed me to the hospital, I'd fought to keep my baby alive. But what I received was only a lifeless body-my seven-month- old child who had stopped breathing the moment the crash happened. He hadn't even had the chance to open his eyes.
