The Amnesia Deceit

Everyone knew that the future Don of the Jenco family, Evan Jenco, had a childhood sweetheart. They were in love with each other and made a promise in front of the Holy Mother that they would be together forever.

That was until Evan started suffering from a strange ailment, where he would forget about the woman he loved every three years. Nancy endured humiliation and torture because of this, but she chose to forgive Evan again and again because he was innocent.

However, she later found out that the so-called amnesia he had was nothing but deceit. The man she loved was the mastermind behind everything.

Nancy accepted another man into her life on the day she found out the truth. She pointed her polished gun at Evan's head and said, "No man can hurt me and think he can get away with it, Evan, and that includes you."

The future Don of his family, Evan Jenco, suffered from a strange ailment. He would get amnesia every three years, but the only person he would forget was his childhood love, Nancy Sartori.

Nancy was 18 the first time it happened to Evan. They had promised to spend their entire lives together under the beautiful fireworks in the night sky, but Evan forgot everything about them after one night and even fell in love with another woman.

He broke Nancy's legs for the woman, and it cost Nancy her dreams of being a dancer, but things did not stop there. Evan locked her away in a pitch‑black basement, behind the backs of the Jenco and Sartori Dons. He let others take compromising photos of her, and soon the whole city had seen those scandalous pictures. This tragedy, single-handedly perpetrated by Evan, continued for three months.

Three months later, Evan's memories returned. It filled him with so much regret and pain that he knelt in front of Nancy's house for three days and three nights, and proceeded to shoot himself in the kneecaps with his gun to pay for what he did to Nancy. Even the woman with whom he had an affair was given as a gift to his father's subordinate.

When it happened the first time, Nancy chose to forgive him.

The second time Evan lost his memories was the year Nancy had just turned 21. Evan had put a ring on Nancy's finger during their engagement party. The ring had a cross on it that represented Nancy's position as the Jenco family's future Donna. However, tragedy struck once again the next day.

This time, Evan fell in love with Nancy's bodyguard. During a firefight with another mafia family, Evan shielded the bodyguard by using Nancy to block the bullets aimed at the woman. Nancy managed to survive after forty-eight hours in critical condition.

On the day she was discharged, Evan did not even see her at the hospital, and instead sent word that a worthless life like hers deserved death. He crushed her dignity and taunted her again and again for having ulterior motives for him. It felt like their happy relationship in the past was nothing but a dream.

It took another three months for Evan's apology to arrive. This time, Evan killed the bodyguard with his own hands and knelt in church for three days and three nights. He begged God to take this strange illness away from him.

Nancy decided to forgive him for the second time. She begged the heavens that this ridiculous situation would end this time, but the sword of Damocles finally fell on her head during their wedding when Evan walked in holding hands with another woman.

"What do you mean by this, Evan?!" Nancy's father, Alan Sartori, frowned as he quickly strode forward to shield Nancy. This was an important wedding between two mafia families, and many guests were present. No one expected Evan to choose this moment to enter his wedding venue with another woman.

Evan raised an eyebrow as he grabbed the woman at the waist and leaned casually against her. "What do I mean? Isn't it obvious? I don't know anyone called Nancy Satori. Why should I marry her? Look at her flat body and boring face. She's not as charming as my Rebecca."

Evan grabbed the woman's butt in front of everyone without a care in the world.

Nancy stumbled and almost fell to the ground. The man in front of her had a handsome face she knew very well, but his demeanor felt like a complete stranger to her.

"What nonsense is this? You were the one who knelt at my feet, begging me to let Nancy marry you, Evan Jenco! You promised to protect her for the rest of your life. Is this what protecting her looks like?" Alan's face flushed dark red as his breathing became erratic, and his fingers trembled as he pointed at Evan angrily.

"Kneel at your feet? Do you have Alzheimer's, old man? A woman with nude pictures spread all around town isn't worthy of any man kneeling at your feet." Evan's tone was taunting, and his look of disdain was like a knife that stabbed right into Nancy.

Painful memories of despair came flooding into Nancy's mind. When Evan was 18, he had used that same nonchalant tone to send her into a living hell.

"Evan Jenco, you bastard!" Alan suddenly stumbled, and his eyes closed as he fell onto the stage.

"Dad!" Nancy quickly crouched to help stabilize her father's body while calling out in a panic, "Dad! Please don't scare me like this! Wake up!"

Nancy's mother had passed away at an early age. It was Alan who had brought her up on his own all these years.

Nancy's eyes turned red as tears started to fall. She looked up at Evan through her blurry eyes. They met for the first time when they were four. Evan had saved her from almost falling off a tree. When they were eight, a rival family kidnapped them, and Evan risked his life to shield Nancy from being beaten by them. Nancy was unscathed, but Evan ended up with three broken ribs.

When they turned 12, Evan and Nancy were officially sent to training as the heirs to their families. Evan risked breaking the rules by bypassing layers of electrical fencing just so Nancy could have a bite of cake during their training. The trainer almost broke his legs as a result.

At 14, Nancy lost a lot of blood after getting hurt during a mission. Evan immediately rolled up his sleeve to give her blood until he turned pale, but he refused to stop as he clenched his teeth to declare that he would die to save her.

At 16, Evan used a gun with only six bullets in it to cover Nancy while she escaped. He killed dozens of mercenaries on his own. She thought that they would always be bound together as one for the rest of their lives.

If it were not for Evan's strange condition…

"You'll regret this, Evan," Nancy choked back a sob. Her words made Evan pause in his footsteps, but he did not look back. All that was heard from him was taunting laughter.

"Regret? There are plenty of fish in the sea, and I'll only regret it if I give them up for you."
