00:22my son i did not cry and i did not make a scene i simply disappeared from his world on
00:30my own
00:31later his family went bankrupt and he became a broke worthless stray dog kneeling before me in
00:37tears and begging me to look at him again but by then another man was already standing by my side
00:43on long island new york rain poured down outside the desantis estate pounding against the living
00:48room windows leon's mother donna sat by the fireplace elena

05:36to be there the moment i entered the ballroom whispers immediately slipped into my ears that is leon's
05:41wife i heard she cannot bear an heir sophia is already pregnant with the second one and she is still
05:46firmly holding the position of mrs desantis the desantis family does not need a useless woman
05:51i did not stop i walked straight toward the main table leon was giving a speech on stage his gaze
05:57swept over me like a silent warning do not make trouble then the awards began every year the family
06:04gives out the project of the year award to honor the most profitable investment project of the year
06:08everyone knew this year's prize would definitely go to the north shore revitalization plan that project

06:18of land i had opened up the municipal connections one layer at a time and i had also rested the
06:22two
06:23most crucial rounds of financing out of the hands of the five major families the winner is sofia rossi
06:30the host announced the winner's name i tightened my grip on the champagne glass sofia wore a black
06:35armami gown the five-month pregnant belly slightly rounded as she walked gracefully onto the stage amid a
06:39of flashing cameras she accepted the crystal trophy i want to thank leon for his guidance without him
06:46i could never have completed such a complicated project and looked at leon with tears in her eyes
06:51applause broke out all around leon took the microphone some people turned to look at me their
06:56eyes carrying sympathy ridicule or simply the look of people waiting for a show his gaze nailed to me in
07:02addition the family committee has approved that for health reasons elena de santos will indefinitely
07:08suspend all family affairs sofia rossi will take over in her place the hall fell silent for a moment
07:14i sat there my whole body as though frozen that project was something i had built entirely on my
07:20own sofia could not even understand the valuation model leon was forcing me to bow my hand i wanted
07:25to take away everything i had poured my heart into strip me of my power and tear my dignity to
07:30pieces
07:31in front of everyone all for the sake of proving one thing without him i was nothing i set down
07:36my glass
07:36and stood up the sound of the chair sliding back was not loud yet it was enough to make everyone
07:41around me look over i walked straight toward the stage leon frowned and lowered his voice elena do
07:47not make a scene here i looked at that face of his and spoke coldly desantis stealing someone else's
07:53work is a crime in new york elena give the project to her take it as compensation for the child
08:00we can talk about what you want later leon stared at me with a frown use my things to compensate

08:29still so arrogant right then a sharp stab of pain suddenly shot through my lower abdomen it felt
08:34as though a knife were violently twisting inside my body i clutched my stomach and cold sweat instantly
08:39broke out on my forehead elena stop acting in front of me leon gave a cold laugh escort mrs desaci
08:45out
08:46two bodyguards came up and seized my arms from left and right too weak even to struggle i was dragged
08:50out of the banquet hall like trash and dumped outside the door the door slammed shut behind me i heard
08:55sophia's syrupy sweet voice from inside leon baby just moved i crashed heavily onto the marble floor
09:01and warm liquid began running down the inside of my thigh i reached down and touched it my fingertips
09:06were covered in blood biting my teeth i called 911 in the emergency room the doctor looked at me and
09:12froze you are eight weeks pregnant already you did not know that sentence was like a bolt of lightning
09:17striking my head pregnant the child i had been waiting three years for three years of medicine three
09:22years of injections yet still no news and now on the sturdiest of nights it had quietly arrived ectopic
09:28pregnancy severe bleeding surgery must be done immediately family member we need a family member's
09:35signature the doctor handed me the consent form for surgery i trembled as i dialed leon's number the
09:41phone rang for a long time before it was answered elena what exactly do you want leon
09:47i am at new york presbyteria hospital the doctor said i am pregnant
09:51it is exosick i am bleeding heavily can you come please i am so scared there was silence on the
10:00other
10:00end for two seconds then i heard sophia screaming leon lucas has a fever hurry and come on leon's
10:06breathing instantly quickened elena you actually made up this kind of line to trick me into going over
10:11there even if what you said is truth everywhere that even taken shape compare with my arms i
10:16closed my eyes in despair i am not lying they are about to take me into the operator he cut
10:21me off
10:22directly elena stop acting do not make me hate you even more the call was hung up the busy tone
10:29echoed through the empty emergency room the doctor looked at me his eyes full of sympathy ma'am we
10:34cannot wait any longer i gritted my teeth took the pen and signed my name on the surgical consent form
10:39elena
10:40vance the operating room lights came on bright and blinding white anesthetic flowed into my body
10:45through my veins and my limbs gradually lost all sensation at that moment all i felt was that
10:49something had shattered completely not just the child i lost also the last ridiculous sliver of
10:54hope i had left for leon on the third day after the surgery the doctor handed me a report with
10:59a
11:00face full of regret i am sorry we had to remove your left valerian tube your chances of conceiving
11:05naturally are now almost zero i looked at the ceiling and did not cry on the fourth day i checked
11:09myself out of the hospital and returned to that house on long island sophia's clothes were still
11:14hanging in the living room i placed the signed divorce agreement in the most conspicuous spot on
11:18the coffee table with the bloodstained medical record form beside it then i changed my phone
11:23card deleted all of my social accounts and dragged my suitcase out the door leon the perfect life you
11:28wanted i am giving it back to you but this is not the end i swear it a year passed
11:32manhattan top floor
11:34of rockefeller center i stood before the floor-to-ceiling window looking at the sea of lights below my feet
11:42miss vansa the closed door meeting will begin in a few minutes
11:46by now i was the co-founder of van studio in the year after the surgery i left long island
11:51with
11:51almost nothing in my pockets i buried myself completely in work countless sleepless nights
11:56building financial models gathering resources everywhere and piling up one deal after another
12:01to create results step by step i rebuilt my life at last i had earned the right to sit here
12:06at the same
12:07table with this pack of sharks who would not spit out the bones the desantis family lost a fortune in
12:12new jersey this year the losses were massive even leon desantis himself is here he is probably here to
12:21ask for help that name pierced my chest like a rusted needle i looked up the man who had once
12:26been
12:26so overbearing and untouchable was now standing in a corner much thinner the expensive custom suit hanging
12:32loose on him he was humbly handing cigars to several elders uncle carlo please give me one more chance
12:39i really can save that territory
12:46the other man patted his shoulder perfunctorily then turned and saw me elena you are here everyone
12:52has been waiting for you i'm so glad you could make it leon followed his gaze and turned around
12:57the moment our eyes met the lighter in his hand dropped to the floor with a click he looked at
13:02me
13:03in disbelief his voice i walked up to him in high heels a standard business smile on my lips mr
13:08desantis
13:09long time no see he stared at me fixedly his eyes full of shock surprise and a trace of belated
13:16remorse
13:17where did you go i searched for you for a whole year he subconsciously tried to touch my arm i
13:23turned
13:24slightly and avoided him mr desantis this is a public place please mind your manners elena i know
13:33i was a bastard before sophia and i have already split up there is nothing between us anymore i cut
13:39him off your private life has nothing to do with me if you are here to talk financing go make
13:46an
13:46appointment with my assistant if you are only here for nostalgia sorry i am very busy i did not look
13:52at
13:52him again and walked straight toward the main podium his gaze was nailed to my back like a red hot
13:57iron
13:57but i never once turned around the speech went smoothly i shared the latest investment strategies
14:03for east coast commercial real estate and thunderous applause broke out from the audience below after the
14:09meeting ended i walked alone toward the underground garage just as i took out my car key a figure suddenly
14:15sprang out from behind a pillar and blocked the car elena do not go leon was panting hard his hair
14:22a mess
14:22i am being punished for my sins sophia planted her people inside the family and emptied all of our
14:28overseas assets she angered my mother until she had a stroke and now she is lying in a hospital bed
14:34unable even to move tears streamed down his face every day when i go back to that house the only
14:39thing
14:39on my mind is you i was wrong elena terribly wrong can you forgive me after hearing him out i
14:47felt
14:47terrifyingly calm inside are you done elena i a harsh screech of brakes rang out in the underground garage
14:55a black sports car stopped beside us the door swung open and sophia rushed out in high heels leon i
15:03knew
15:03you were rushing to break up with me because of her elena you how dare you seduce my husband arms
15:09folded i sneered sophia your husband himself was standing in front of my car like a stray dog
15:18not so didn't you know you're here sophia enough if not for your little tricks elena would never have
15:24left sophia staggered a few steps from the throw and crashed into the car door then went out a shrill
15:29laugh
15:31leon what are you acting so deeply in love for now that night you were the one who drank too
15:37much
15:38and crawled into my bed you were also the one who insisted on handing the family trust over to my
15:42son
15:44now that i have emptied the company and your mother is paralyzed only now do you start blaming me
15:51do you really think elaine would even look at a bankrupt loser like you
15:57i could not be bothered to watch this farce move aside i am going home i opened the car door
16:04and
16:04got in but leon clung to the window and refused to let go no matter what elena please give me
16:10one
16:10more chance i pressed the power window button and directly trapped his fingers leon the moment you
16:18went to accompany lucas through his fever it was already over between us he froze taking advantage
16:25of his days i stepped on the gas and the car shot forward in the rearview mirror he had collapsed
16:30onto
16:30the ground while sophia was still pointing at his nose and cursing i did not look back again the next
16:36day an uninvited guest appeared in my office leon he was clutching a document tightly in his hands
16:42his eyes red looking like a demon freshly climbed out of hell security wanted to stop him but i waved
16:47them away the moment the door closed he dropped to his knees with a thud in front of my desk
16:53and placed
16:53the file on it it was a copy of the medical record from new york presbyterian hospital clearly stating
16:59ruptured ectopic pregnancy massive bleeding in the abdominal cavity elena is this true
17:07that night when you called were you really taken into the operating room i leaned back in
17:12my chair and looked at him calmly what else did you think i was joking with you he suddenly grabbed
17:18his hair why did you not tell me if i had known it was that serious how could i have
17:23ignored you
17:26did i not tell you leon i told you i was in the hospital i told you i was pregnant
17:31bleeding heavily and
17:32terrified and you yourself told me not to keep playing those tricks not to force you to hate me
17:38even more i am not human elena i really did not know lucas had a fever his eyes were even
17:49rolling
17:49upwards and sophia was shrieking hysterically on the phone i panicked at the time so i panicked you were
17:57not panicking leon you simply made a choice between me and sophia between my life and your
18:03son's life you chose to abandon me do you know what it feels like to lie on an operating table
18:08and
18:08feel your own blood draining away bit by bit do you know how desperate i was when the doctor told
18:13me
18:13i might never be able to be a mother again leon you did not only kill our child you also
18:21took away
18:22my right to be a mother i'm sorry i truly am sorry since you have already read the medical record
18:30then you should know you owe me a life now get out never let me see you again and security
18:39quickly
18:40came in to forcibly drag him out his cries echoed all the way down the corridor growing more and more
18:45distant i returned to my seat and took a sip of coffee an unprecedented sense of pleasure rose from the
18:51bottom of my heart leon had completely lost his mind the news spread through the family circle like
18:56wildfire he returned to the santa's headquarters and carried out an almost devastating purge of sophia
19:02her little scheme of embezzling public funds was nowhere near sophisticated it was nothing more than
19:06a gamble on his blind trust in her after leon obtained the evidence he did not go to the family
19:11court
19:12instead he called the police directly the day sophia was taken away by the fbi
19:23the child in your belly is not mine leon looked at her expressionlessly is not mine he tore through
19:34her call records and credit card bills from top to bottom in order to secure her position sophia had
19:40long since secretly crawled back into her ex-boyfriend's bed the so-called pregnancy was
19:44merely a chess piece she used to kick me out but the truth went even further leon also had lucas's
19:50dna tested the child was indeed his biological son but how the child came into being was hurtier
19:55than any affair at that banquet many years ago sophia bribed a waiter to drug leon's whiskey
20:03she calculated her own ovulation time with precision before climbing into his bed leon had always
20:08thought it was just one drunk mistake but from beginning to end it had all been her carefully laid hunt
20:15on the day the truth was revealed leon de santa smashed his study into a wreck shattered glass and
20:20broken with splinters strewn everywhere like a graveyard for a woman who had schemed against him
20:25for an illegitimate child born out of a trap he drove away the only woman in this world who had
20:30truly
20:30loved him and with his own hands he killed the heir they should have had sophia was eventually sentenced to
20:35five years it was said leon once went to visit her through the thick glass of the visitation room
20:40she cried and begged him to save her for the sake of the child no one knew what he finally
20:45said to her
20:45but not long after he left she was carried in prison lucas was sent back to the desantis estate and
20:51left
20:51in donna's care she who was now bedridden the servants were also dismissed and the entire estate
20:56rotted away little by little in its dead silence donna's speech had become slurred and her mind was no
21:02longer clear she could only watch that child with no one to care for him crying out amid the ruins
21:07of
21:07former glory the desantis empire was hollowed out by sophia's greed and then with leon's collapsing
21:13mental state leaving it completely defenseless it was finally swallowed up by the irish mob and later
21:17divided among the five family council
21:22the once glorious leon desantis was now nothing but a joke drowning in debt a ghost wandering through
21:27the ruins of his own life and i during that same year secured one high profile project after another
21:34perfect studio the year-end celebration banquet was held in a hotel in manhattan i wore a custom vera wong
21:40gown standing under the spotlight with a glass of champagne in my hand i am deeply grateful for
21:46everything i went through in the past i smiled at the reporters they taught me that the most reliable
21:53support a woman has will always be herself my photos made the front page of every major business media
21:59outlet i also knew i know leon will see these he lives every day in the shadow of his own
22:05remorse
22:06god has his own way of punishing the wicked i do not need to do it myself they will drag
22:13each other down
22:13to hell after the celebration banquet ended i walked alone across the brooklyn bridge late at night
22:18under the dim street lights i saw a hunched figure leon he was wearing an old coat washed
22:24pale white clutching something tightly in his hand standing 10 steps away from me like a homeless
22:28drifter too afraid to come closer he had become completely unrecognizable so thin his hair long
22:34enough to cover his eyes his face covered with stubble i stopped walking his voice was so hoarse
22:40it was almost inaudible i said nothing he awkwardly wiped his hands on his pants and cautiously came
22:46closer opening his palm to show me in his palm lay a silver pocket watch it was the florentine pocket
22:53watch that i had crushed back then which he had pieced back together one shard at a time ugly glue
22:57marks
22:58covered the case elena i fixed it he looked at me i spent a lot of money and found the
23:04best watchmaker in
23:05the world the mainspring is still running it can keep going he tremblingly turned the pocket watch over
23:13revealing the words per semper on the back see i truly wanted to spend the rest of my life with
23:17you
23:19i never never thought things would turn out like this i looked at the pocket watch in his hand then
23:26at
23:26his gaunt face is this why you came looking for me leon just to show me this a gust of
23:35wind blew by i know i
23:37have no right to ask for your forgiveness and he pulled his coat tighter around himself that coat
23:42was too small it no longer fit just wanted to see you to look at you one last time you
23:49have seen enough
23:49i said now you can go he stood there without moving his lips trembling slightly i pointed at the pocket
23:56watch
23:57in his hand do you know what this pocket watch looks like now just like you once it is broken
24:05it is
24:05broken even if you piece all the fragments back together it is still just a pile of scrap metal
24:11i took a bottle of liquor from my bag and poured it directly over it
24:16he flailed like a madman desperately trying to wipe the liquor off
24:19no this is the only thing i have left please do not destroy it i am not the one who
24:29destroyed it leon
24:30you did that to yourself i looked at him put away that face of a victim you are not crying
24:37for me leon
24:38you are crying because you yourself cannot accept where you have ended up
24:42what you truly miss is the leon de santis who had a wife an empire and a mistress now that
24:48you have
24:49nothing left you are cleaning this scrap of metal because it only serves your pitiful pride forcing
24:54yourself to feel something he collapsed to the ground at once covering his face with both hands and crying
25:02i have nothing left elena god really has abandoned me
25:10my mother curses me in bed every day lucas he will not even look at me every time i close
25:17my eyes all
25:18i see is you covered in blood i cannot go on living i looked at him my voice steady then
25:24die
25:26he suddenly lifted his head his eyes blood red his lips trembling do you really think you can live
25:32on like this with atonement and still earn my forgiveness you yourself disgust me listen carefully
25:41leon de santis from the second you hung up that phone you had already become meaningless to me i turned
25:49and left while his crying grew farther and farther away behind me one month later harris vance studio
25:55won a massive asset restructuring project in paris and as the person in charge i would be based here
25:59for three years i never imagined i would meet him here mateo ricci the youngest son of the ricci family
26:05for years younger than me yet the youngest godfather in the entire european mafia alliance flipping through
26:10my files reading out my name elena vance the north shore bank reconstruction project is your case he
26:17sat across the conference table i am the one in charge he closed the file and reached out his hand
26:22to me he did not call me desantis welcome to paris elena then lifting his eyes for the ricci family's
26:28projects i will work only with you over the next three weeks we met almost every day discussing the
26:33project negotiating terms and occasionally sharing a meal together he was very quiet unlike leon he did
26:39not need to dominate the room with his voice most of the time he simply listened carefully occasionally
26:44asking one or two questions and every single one struck the key point i have to admit being with
26:49him was easy but that ease was completely shattered in the fourth week that night after we finished
26:54discussing the last few terms at a restaurant by the same he set down his wine glass and looked at
26:58me and
26:58said there is something i want to tell you first i am interested in you i raised a brow mateo
27:06you are four
27:07years younger than me and so what the ricci family will not accept what the ricci family thinks is up
27:13to me he
27:14cut into the lamb chop on his plate a faint smile touching his lips you do not need to answer
27:17me
27:18now but do not use age or family as an excuse to reject me those things mean nothing to me
27:23i did not
27:24know how leon got the news at night i received an encrypted message it contained only one photo
27:29mateo and me in the restaurant shot from an angle that deliberately made it look ambiguous below it was
27:34only one sentence you have a new man beside you do you know what he does i put the phone
27:39back into my
27:39bag and did not reply 15 minutes later a second message arrived he comes from the sicilian ricci
27:45family do you know how much blood is on their hands elena do not let him fool you then came
