1.3 How Did Cynthia Collins Become Allan D’Angelo’s Fiancé?
Cynthia Collins and Allan D’Angelo were two strangers who happened to be at a mafia shootout. She was with her boyfriend Harry, who had just proposed to her. She was wearing the ring Harry had put on when Allan D’Angelo claimed Cynthia to be his fiance.
Only because Cynthia was held hostage by the Romano family. With Allan being on his rival’s territory, he couldn’t do much to save Cynthia’s life without triggering a potential war. But he found a solution.
Family Inviolability Code—that was Allan D’Angelo’s plan. As per the code, the Romano family couldn’t hurt Allan D’Angelo’s family. And by claiming Cynthia Collins as his fiance, she became his family, thus saving her life. However, Cynthia soon became targeted. To keep her safe and to avoid war, Allan D’Angelo had no choice but to have Cynthia Collins pretend to be his fiance and live with him.

No one came to her rescue, not even the man who had just proposed to her. However, Cynthia soon found Allan D’Angelo coming up to save her life. And to do so, she was introduced as his fiance.
He wanted to calmly get himself and Cynthia out. But again, a wrong move led Cynthia into trouble, triggering a shootout between the mafia rivals.
With Allan D’Angelo shooting Cynthia’s captor, Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief like it was all over as she left home with Harry. Unbeknownst to her, it was just the beginning.
As Harry apologized to Cynthia and tried to move past the incident, Cynthia returned his ring and asked for time. She needed time to gather her life together, unaware she was soon followed by the Romano family members.
With Vito Romano ordering to find all details for Cynthia Collins, whom he believed to be Allan D’Angelo’s fiance, her life was in trouble. Soon she was found by Allan D’Angelo, who had uncovered what his rivals were plotting.
Therefore, to cover his lie, he asked Cynthia Collins to pretend to be his fiance. And he asked her to move into his mansion so he could keep her safe. However, Cynthia, an ordinary and hard working nurse, didn’t realize what she was walking into as she wore the D’Angelo family ring.
