00:00I had always believed comfort mattered more than designer labels, but in a hall drowning in diamonds and custom gowns,
00:06no one here cared about that belief.
00:08I pressed my lips together, heat rising up my chest.
00:11So, you're still judging people by logos? You're unbelievably shallow.
00:17Lucas sure had special taste when picking his god sister.
00:21Thanks to her stunt, I wasn't in the mood for the auction anymore.
00:24I turned to the auctioneer and pointed straight at the eternal star ring in the display case.
00:28I want to activate the automatic bidding system. Whatever she offers, I'll pay double.
00:35Miss, our automatic bidding service is reserved for clients with VIP cards.
00:40Sophia gave a sharp little snort. She reached into her clutch, pulled out a gold VIP card, and slapped it
00:46onto the podium.
00:47I spend seven figures a year here. And you? How exactly do you compare to me?
00:53I drew in a slow breath, took out a plain black card with no logo, and placed it beside hers.
00:59Unlimited credit black card.
01:02Is that sufficient?
01:04Open the VIP account and restart the bid.
01:07In all 26 years of my life, no one had ever dared to talk to me like that.
01:12Say that again?
01:13What exactly do you want me to shout?
01:16Are you deaf?
01:18I said, I'm broke, and I know I was wrong.
01:22Got it now?
01:22Loud and clear.
01:24Since you admit you're broke, hurry up and get out of here.
01:27Before you drag down the Merino name.
01:30Sophia's face flushed as she finally realized what I'd done.
01:33You! You twisted my words!
01:35How dare you make fun of me!
01:37She screeched and hurled herself at me, arms flailing like a furious chicken.
01:41It would have been funny if she weren't so noisy.
01:44I had trained with my family's bodyguards in Corvina for ten years.
01:48I wasn't about to be intimidated by a woman whose punches were nothing but a performance.
01:52I drove a clean sidekick into her ribs.
01:55Sophia went down hard, folding onto the carpet with a pained groan.
01:59Regret.
02:00Next time you open your mouth, remember whose territory you're standing on.
02:04Gasps rickled through the hall.
02:08Oh my god!
02:09She actually hit Mrs. Lopez!
02:11When Mr. Merino hears about this, he'll have her chopped up and thrown into the bay.
02:17She's done.
02:19Not even God can save her now.
02:20I tuned their chatter out.
02:22The Merino family only stood where they did today,
02:25because my father had pulled them up when they were nothing.
02:28The iron doors slammed shut behind them with a deafening bang.
02:31Luca and Sophia were shoved into a pitch black basement.
02:34Sophia's footsteps came to an abrupt halt.
02:36Her voice shot up, sharp enough to shatter glass.
02:39What's that sound?
02:41What the hell is that?
02:43Three wolf dogs.
02:44Not very large, but their ribs were clearly visible.
02:47They hadn't been fed for three days.
02:49The sound of iron chains dragging across the floor was like the grim reaper's scythe.
02:54Luca whispered urgently.
02:56Don't move.
02:57Sophia let out a piercing scream and staggered backward.
03:00Don't move.
03:01Don't run.
03:03Don't!
03:04Her high heels stepped on something wet and slippery, and she fell hard to the ground.
03:08All three wolf dogs lunged forward at once.
03:11Luca.
03:12Her voice became tiny, almost like she was talking to herself.
03:15Are we going to die here?
03:17Luca didn't answer.
03:19His hand fumbled in his pocket for his phone.
03:22The screen lit up for a second, no signal.
03:24It won't happen.
03:25He said, but his voice lacked any conviction.
03:28My father will come save us.
03:30Another hour passed.
03:32Footsteps sounded outside the iron door.
03:34Sophia jerked her head up, hope flashing in her eyes.
03:37A small window on the iron door opened, and a bowl of water along with a few pieces of
03:42dry bread were pushed inside.
03:44Sophia scrambled over, her voice hoarse.
03:47Let us out!
03:49Do you know who I am?
03:51I'm the eldest daughter of the Lopez family, if you dare!
03:56The small window slammed shut.
03:58The footsteps faded away.
04:00Sophia stood frozen in place, clutching the bowl of water.
04:03Tears fell pathetically into it, drop after drop.
04:08I woke to the sting of antiseptic.
04:10The first thing I saw was my father's face above me, drawn tight with worry.
04:15My right hand was wrapped in thick bandages.
04:17A dull pain throbbed through each finger.
04:20Your fingers are saved.
04:21My father said, brushing the hair away from my forehead.
04:24But they'll need time to heal.
04:25Just then, the door eased open.
04:27Antonio stood at the threshold.
04:29The man who usually dominated headlines as an untouchable mafia, he said hoarsely.
04:34Don Borja, my son was reckless.
04:37He offended Mrs. Borja.
04:39My father looked at him coldly and said nothing.
04:42Antonio turned to me instead and bowed deeply.
04:44Mrs. Borja, Luca was ignorant.
04:46He had no idea who you were.
04:48Everything our family has today came from Don Borja's support years ago.
04:51This engagement was us reaching far of our station.
04:53We won't mention it again.
04:54I only beg you to spare his life.
04:56I looked at Antonio, who seemed to have aged overnight, and felt nothing at all.
05:01Fine.
05:02I said, my voice weak but clear.
05:04I'll give you a choice.
05:05You can keep your son, or you can keep your entire family.
05:11You wouldn't dare!
05:13She screamed, but her voice had already lost all confidence.
05:17I gave her one last look, then turned and walked toward the exit.
05:21Behind me came Elena's hysterical shriek.
05:24Stop that bitch!
05:25But no one moved.
05:27The allies, she thought she had all lowered their heads like frostbitten eggplants.
05:31As I walked out the main door, Vito Corleone was already standing by the entrance.
05:35He held a glass of whiskey and gave me a slight nod.
05:39Miss Borja, you're even more ruthless than your father was at your age.
05:44Vito paused, his lips curving into a soft, genuine smile as he looked at her.
05:49And I'm liking you more and more, my lovely lady.
05:52I glanced sideways at him.
05:54Don Corleone.
05:55Did you already know this would happen tonight?
05:58He smiled without answering, simply raising his glass.
06:02Welcome to the real Norton.
06:03I didn't clink glasses with him.
06:05I walked straight to the elevator.
06:08The moment the elevator doors closed, I let out a soft breath.
06:11My right hand hurt badly, but my heart felt incredibly satisfied.
06:16I walked forward slowly, the fingers beneath my velvet glove still throbbing with a dull ache.
06:21I've changed my mind.
06:23After what I just heard from Luca, I'm very disappointed.
06:27He doesn't look guilty at all.
06:29Antonio, is this the apology the Marino family is giving me?
06:33Every pair of eyes turned to Antonio.
06:35The man who usually ruled the room now looked pale.
06:38He drew in a deep breath, and at that moment, he seemed to age a decade.
06:42From this moment on, Luca is no longer my son.
06:46He is no longer heir to the Marino family.
06:49He is officially stripped of his name and cut off from all family assets.
06:54Dad, you can't do this to me.
06:57I'm your son.
06:58Luca shouted, his eyes full of despair and disbelief.
07:01No!
07:02That's impossible!
07:03How could she have that kind of power?
07:06Why didn't anyone tell us earlier?
07:08This has to be fake!
07:09You're all being fooled!
07:11The next morning, the cleaning staff opened the door and almost fainted.
07:15Sophia was lying in a pool of blood, having been stabbed over and over.
07:19Luca was on the floor beside her with his wrist slashed, barely alive.
07:23I heard the news while I was at home, sitting at my piano.
07:26Although my fingers hadn't fully healed, I could already play a few simple pieces.
07:31Just then, my father walked in and placed a folded newspaper on the piano.
07:36You saw this coming, didn't you?
07:40I took my hands off the piano and glanced at the newspaper's front page.
07:44It showed Luca being shoved into a police car.
07:46Sophia never loved Luca.
07:48What she loved was his status and his money.
07:51Once he lost those, her betrayal was just a matter of time.
07:56As for Luca, I went on, letting my fingers drift lightly over the keys.
08:01He was born into wealth.
08:03He was never going to survive losing everything.
08:07Especially after the woman he loved cheated on him.
08:10He walked in.
08:12His leather shoes stepped lightly, yet heavily on the wooden floor with every step.
08:18Isis, for the past year, I've been looking for the right moment.
08:22He paused, the corner of his mouth lifting in a self-mocking smile.
08:26But I realize that with you, there will never be a right moment.
08:30He opened the black box.
08:32Inside was a necklace.
08:33It was an exact match to my single earring.
08:36Your father told me about this Borga family tradition.
08:39His voice grew lower.
08:40When a daughter has been provoked, but has not yet fully taken revenge, she wears only one earring.
08:47Once revenge is complete, she wears the other.
08:50I stared at the gemstone, but didn't reach out.
08:53So?
08:54Vito took a deep breath.
08:55In this moment, one of the most powerful men in Norum looked like someone standing on the edge of a
09:01cliff.
09:01So I wanted to ask, if one day you decide to wear the other earring, could that spot be left
09:09for me?
09:10Silence.
09:11The only sound in the piano room was the occasional chirping of birds outside the window.
09:16My heartbeat was slow and steady.
09:18Do you know what you're saying?
09:20I know very clearly.
09:22Issa, I don't need a woman who stands behind me.
09:25And you're not that kind of woman anyway.
09:27The Corcioni family and the Borja family don't need to swallow each other.
09:31But I'm willing, for a lifetime, to stand in the place closest to you.
09:37The sunlight outside the window grew brighter, falling on his face and illuminating details I had never noticed before.
09:43There was a tiny mole at the corner of his eye.
09:46A faint scar on his left eyebrow.
09:48The fingers holding the necklace were long and strong.
09:51Yet they were trembling slightly right now.
09:54This man, who didn't even blink during the Five Great Family Summit, was trembling.
10:01Suddenly, I felt the urge to smile.
10:05It's okay.
10:06I told you.
10:07I can wait.
10:09I didn't say I wouldn't accept it.
10:11My fingers still rested on the edge of the box.
10:14But I need to think about it.
10:16How long?
10:17Maybe a year.
10:19Maybe two.
10:20Maybe after I finish thinking, I'll return this box to you completely untouched.
10:25Then I'll wait.
10:26He turned and walked toward the door.
10:28At the doorway.
10:29He stopped without turning back.
10:31By the way, what piece were you playing just now?
10:35Debossi's Claire DeLune.
10:36Next time, if I hear you stop playing this piece again,
10:43consider that your answer.
10:45...
10:46...
