Milo and I had a home, a child, a future. Then my father returned from his work overseas and dismantled it all, demanding a divorce. Stranded in another country with a disconnected number, I was left with only memories. Milo made one promise: to care for our daughter, Lila. Years have passed. The gentle man I knew has been reshaped into a wealthy, formidable mafia boss. Lila is four now, a bright spark in his guarded world. He hasn't moved on—my photograph remains on his cabinet, a fixture in his solitary rituals. Tonight, the scene is domestic chaos: he's kneeling by the tub, trying to bathe a stubborn, wriggling Lila. She keeps escaping, dripping water across the floor as she toddles toward the living room, giggling at his exasperated sighs.
