Short filmTranscript
00:00On my 80th birthday, I died of pure rage on the living room floor of the Romano estate.
00:05I had spent 60 years turning the Romanos from a notorious mafia family into a global business empire.
00:11The moment I signed my inheritance over to my children, they showed their true faces.
00:16They announced that Sofia Caruso's ashes would take my place in the Romano family too,
00:20and mine would be ground into dog food.
00:22I choked up blood and collapsed to the floor.
00:25As I lay there dying, I looked up at Dante.
00:27His eyes were ice cold, full of hatred, and in that moment I understood this was his revenge.
00:34Because his first love, Sofia, had died on the day of our wedding, he had always blamed me.
00:38He believed I had arranged the accident from the shadows.
00:41In the end, he watched me die of rage right in front of him, but I woke up again at
00:4520.
00:46Back to the day the Romano family gathered to choose Dante's wife,
00:49the godfather, my adopted father, Don Romano, sat at the far end of the room.
00:53Dante, you're not getting any younger. It's time to choose your wife.
00:57Tell us, Sofia or Elena.
00:59I'll bet Dante picks Elena. He's been following her around since they were kids.
01:02In composure and intelligence, I had always been the better choice over Sofia.
01:07That's why I became Dante's wife in my past life.
01:09But in this life, the way Dante looked at me, it wasn't just coldness, it was hatred.
01:14Right then, I knew. He had been reborn too.
01:17Since he had already made up his mind about Sofia, fine.
01:20Let them have each other. All the way to hell.
01:24I stood up.
01:25Don Romano, I know your limits. I am not worth worthy of Donne. I'm stepping down.
01:32Dante clearly froze, but he said nothing and walked out of the meeting room.
01:37I knew where he was going.
01:38At this point in time, Sofia had not yet died in that car crash.
01:42There was still time.
01:43Sixty years of marriage, and it had only ever been a joke.
01:46Don Romano's voice came from the far end of the room.
01:49Elena, what did you just say?
01:54Don Romano, since Dante already has someone in his heart, I am withdrawing from this engagement.
01:59They both understood what Dante's sudden exit meant.
02:02I went back to my room and started packing.
02:05The next morning, I opened my phone.
02:07The entire screen was covered with news.
02:10In the photos, Dante held her close, his eyes full of a tenderness I had never once seen directed at
02:16me.
02:16I scrolled past every photo without changing expression.
02:19By noon, voices rose from the courtyard below.
02:22I stood by the window and watched Dante walk Sofia through the estate gates, side by side, as if the
02:28entire estate already belonged to them.
02:31Father, I already said it, I chose Sofia, so why is Elena still listed as chief designer?
02:35The jewelry div has always been Elena's responsibility.
02:37She is clean.
02:39If we replace her overnight, the FBI will focus on us again.
02:42I don't care.
02:43I've already made my decision.
02:46Sofia is the future wife of the Romano family.
02:48Are you really going to trust an outsider over your own son's choice?
02:52Romano jewelry was the family's most important legitimate business, built during their years of going clean.
02:57In my past life, under my management, Romano jewelry had swallowed three of Europe's oldest jewelry houses.
03:04It was what finally let the Romano group shed the last shadow of the mafia.
03:07Dante knew that better than anyone.
03:10The butler led me to the study, Don Romano looking older than I remembered.
03:15Elena, there is something I need to discuss with you.
03:19Don Romano, there is no need.
03:22I understand.
03:23He looked up at me, surprise, then turned into deeper and sadder.
03:27He had raised me, protected me, and treated me like his own daughter.
03:31But now even he could not stop the tide.
03:33He was too old to continue running everything himself.
03:36The family needed a successor.
03:38Don Romano let out a long sigh.
03:40The jewelry business has always been yours.
03:43Taking it from you so suddenly is not right.
03:47But you know Dante's temperamented.
03:49He has always been more stubborn than I ever was.
03:52Don Romano, I understand.
03:54Without blame or complaint.
03:56Inside are all the design files and handover documents for the current projects.
04:00The access codes are included.
04:03Dante already knows them.
04:05It was a Romano family heirloom.
04:07It represented the future wife of the family.
04:09I had worn it since I was 18.
04:11In my previous life, it had never once left my wrist.
04:15Don Romano, I am grateful for everything these years have given me.
04:19The study door flew open.
04:21Dante walked in.
04:22Father, is it settled?
04:23With Sofia right behind him.
04:25He came straight to Don Romano's side, without looking at me once.
04:29Elena has already agreed to the handover.
04:32Don Romano pushed the files and the bracelet forward.
04:35Before Dante could even react, Sofia snatched up the bracelet.
04:39Her face lit up with unconcealed triumph.
04:42Wait, Elena, are you trying to go back on your word?
04:46This contains the core intelligence of the jewelry operation.
04:49It includes confidential agreements with major clients.
04:52It also includes the special terms with several critical suppliers.
04:55Dante took the folder and started flipping through it.
04:58If these details are mishandled, the Romano group could suffer catastrophic losses.
05:04His face grew darker the more he read.
05:05But I'm sure Sofia is more than capable of managing them.
05:09Sofia forces a confident smile.
05:11You worry too much.
05:13I know exactly what I'm doing.
05:15I said nothing more.
05:16Sofia's only real skill was knowing which latest Chanel to charge to a card.
05:20She knew nothing about design, business negotiations, and no idea how to make old money nobles sign with a mafia
05:28family.
05:28Romano Jewelry's success was built on every design sketch I drew.
05:33Every negotiation I sat through, not a single step could be skipped.
05:38You may leave.
05:39From today on, the Romano group has nothing to do with you.
05:42Hold on.
05:43I stopped.
05:44Since Elena has lost her place, she's no longer a member of the Romano family, is she?
05:49By the rules, she shouldn't be taking anything the family gave her.
05:52She should leave with nothing.
05:54Deontay, don't you agree?
05:59I fixed my gaze on Dante.
06:01Is this what you want?
06:02Dante stood there, the color in his face shifting.
06:05His eyes slid away from mine.
06:08Those few seconds of silence said everything.
06:10Enough!
06:11Elena has lived in this house for 20 years.
06:14Even without the title of wife, she is half a Romano!
06:18Father, Sofia's right.
06:19If the decision has been made, it should be made completely.
06:22Clean and final.
06:24I laughed.
06:25Don Romano, since this is Dante's decision, I respect it.
06:28Since we've come this far, some things need to be settled.
06:32I took over Romano jewelry at 18.
06:35From then until now, exactly five years.
06:38Year one, my jewelry designs won the Federal Annual Grand Prize.
06:42Revenue, $100 million.
06:44Net profit, $40 million.
06:46Year two, I broke into the European auction circuit.
06:49Revenue, $800 million.
06:51Net profit, $120 million.
06:53Year three, I brought Romano jewelry into the Middle Eastern Royal Market.
06:57Year four, I got the Romano group onto the legitimate business wealth rankings for the first time ever.
07:03Year five, I helped the family cut its last underground funding chain.
07:08I listed them out.
07:10Over five years, Don Romano's expression grew heavier.
07:13The net profit generated for the Romano family exalted $2 billion.
07:18He knew better than anyone what those numbers meant.
07:20In our previous life, the Romano family rose to the top of the world's elite.
07:25The Romano family raised me for 20 years.
07:28I made this family $2 billion.
07:30That debt is settled today.
07:33We're even.
07:34The Romano family owes me nothing.
07:36I owe the Romano family nothing.
07:40I leave with nothing.
07:42From this day forward, we have no ties.
07:46Pretty words.
07:47But can you really call this leaving with nothing?
07:50This custom gown, at least $100,000, right?
07:54This watch, starting price, $1 million.
07:57And this limited edition Bugatti, over $10 million.
08:00Every single one of these was bought with the Romano family's money, wasn't it?
08:05I let her pull and humiliate me.
08:07My eyes stayed on Dante's face.
08:10Dante, all these years between us, are they really worth melting at all?
08:14I thought that being reborn would mean I had completely let go.
08:17But in this moment, still so painful, I could barely breathe.
08:21Then, I pushed every feeling down.
08:23Elena!
08:23You don't have to go this far!
08:26Don Romano.
08:27Rules are rules.
08:29Watch, bag, heels, earrings, necklace.
08:31I took each one off.
08:33Set each one down neatly on the floor.
08:35Finally, I stood barefoot on the cold marble.
08:38When I began to reach for the zipper at the back of my gown,
08:41he finally could not stop himself from looking away.
08:45Enough!
08:45He could not bear it anymore.
08:47Elena, stop.
08:48Please.
08:49I folded the dress carefully.
08:50Then, I set it on top of everything else.
08:52From this moment on, I am just myself.
08:55My name is Elena Vasquez.
08:57I am no longer the Romano family's ward.
09:00I walked out through the Romano estate's back entrance in nothing but my underwear.
09:05Outside, a mob of reporters had already gathered.
09:08No one knew when they had arrived.
09:09The moment they saw me and surged for me.
09:12Mrs. Vasquez, how does it feel to be thrown out by the Romanos?
09:15We heard you weren't even allowed to keep your underwear.
09:17Is that true?
09:17The flashbulbs were blinding.
09:20Please move aside.
09:21The crowd burst into laughter.
09:23One reporter at the front deliberately aimed his camera at the most private parts of my body.
09:28His face looked familiar.
09:30I was almost sure I had seen him at one of Sophia's birthday parties.
09:33I shielded myself with my arms and pushed through as fast as I could.
09:37Someone shoved me hard from behind.
09:39My side slammed against a sharp piece of stone.
09:42I forced myself up, running.
09:44The reporters followed me like wolves.
09:46They would not stop.
09:47I turned into a narrow alley and finally lost them.
09:50When I came out the other side, a black Mavoc was waiting at the curb.
09:53It blocked my path.
09:54The window lowered.
09:57Mrs. Vasquez, I am Vincent Conti of the Conti family.
10:01He was impossibly handsome.
10:02He shrugged off his jacket over my shoulders.
10:05My grandfather would very much like to meet you.
10:07Would that be alright?
10:09I went still.
10:11Vincent Conti.
10:12The most celebrated heir in the entire New Vance underworld.
10:16The Conti family.
10:17A dynasty so ancient and deep-rooted that in my previous life, I had spent ten years fighting for a
10:24seat at their table.
10:25And now, they were seeking me out.
10:27It would be my honor.
10:29Dante sat motionless before his phone.
10:32The top trending story was about me.
10:34Disgraceful.
10:35An embarrassment to the city.
10:37Apparently, if it weren't for young Master Romano's mercy, she wouldn't have kept even the clothes on her back.
10:42Yesterday, she was the Romano Group's chief designer.
10:45Today, she is lower than a beggar.
10:47What a fall.
10:48What is so surprising?
10:50Rich men's pet dogs all end up the same way sooner or later.
10:54Dante clicked the video.
10:55The image of my bear, stumbling figure made something seize in his chest.
10:59Then the camera swept across my side.
11:02Blood was flowing freely from the wound.
11:04The camera lingered on an oiled scar across my abdomen.
11:07Dante's finger froze on the screen.
11:11Dante, what are you watching?
11:12Sophia wrapped her arms around him from behind.
11:14I spent a fortune getting 50 media outlets to wait for her.
11:18Worth every cent.
11:21Those reporters?
11:23You arranged that?
11:23Of course.
11:24Now all of Castello City knows exactly what Elena Vasquez is.
11:28No one will have anything to say about your choice anymore.
11:31Dante forced a smile.
11:32Image of my blood-soaked side would not leave him.
11:36Seconds later, he pulled Sophia closer.
11:39What's wrong, Dante?
11:40Wasn't last night enough?
11:41Dante said nothing.
11:42He slowly ran one hand along her waist.
11:45Then they did again.
11:46But this time, Dante merely maintained a mechanical movement, his gaze fixed on Sophia's abdomen.
11:51Afterward, Sophia still forced out a smile.
11:53Baby, you were amazing.
11:55That's already the third time.
11:58But Dante ignored her.
11:59He pushed her aside.
12:02He opened the video again and looked more carefully at my body.
12:06Sophia noticed his focus and spoke sourly.
12:09What is so fascinating?
12:11Parading around half-dressed in front of that many people.
12:14Shameless.
12:15Lucky she got thrown out when she did.
12:17Otherwise, she would have embarrassed the Romano name for years.
12:21Dante heard none of it.
12:22He was searching for something.
12:23After a moment, he pushed Sophia away.
12:25Then he ran upstairs to my empty bedroom.
12:27He found the storage box.
12:29He went through the photographs.
12:31There were pictures of the three of us from years ago.
12:33A thick album.
12:34I appeared in only one photo.
12:36It had been taken more than ten years ago on the coast, near Castello City.
12:40In the picture, Dante sat on the sand holding Sophia's hand, grinning broadly.
12:45I stood apart at the edge of the frame.
12:47I was holding his swimming ring for him.
12:49I looked like a servant girl who did not belong there.
12:52Out of place in every corner of the image.
12:54But one thing was clear.
12:56Bandages were wrapped around my shoulder and around my abdomen.
13:00Dante went rigid.
13:01Memory crashed over him like cold water.
13:04That summer, he had sneaked to the hill behind the estate to play.
13:07Then, he tumbled down the slope.
13:08His stomach slammed into a jagged rock.
13:11As his vision began to fade, a girl hauled him onto her back.
13:14The path down was rough.
13:15The pain in his belly was unbearable.
13:17Without thinking, he bit into her shoulder.
13:20Her skin split in black.
13:22She did not make a sound.
13:23Instead, she said gently and steadily,
13:25Don't be afraid.
13:26The hospital is almost here.
13:28When Dante woke up, the first face he saw was Sophia's.
13:31The nurse told him a girl had carried him to the hospital in time.
13:34A rock had struck his kidney and caused severe internal bleeding.
13:38That girl had donated one of her own kidneys to save him.
13:41Because of a clotting disorder, she had nearly bled out on the operating table.
13:45Dante had asked Sophia from his hospital bed.
13:48If she had saved him, Sophia went very still for a moment.
13:51But she did not deny it.
13:53Dante knelt motionless in my bedroom.
13:56All the air seemed to leave his body.
13:58Now there was nothing he did not understand.
14:00He had always believed Sophia saved his life.
14:03That was why she held such a special place in his heart.
14:05Why her death had haunted him so deeply.
14:08And all this time, he had been wrong.
14:11Unforgivably wrong.
14:13Dante's legs gave out beneath him.
14:15The album slipped from his hands and hit the floor.
14:17He sank down against the wall.
14:19He whispered to no one.
14:20All along, it had been me.
14:22I was wrong about everything.
14:24That evening, the Romano Villa blazed with light.
14:28Relatives had gathered from every branch of the family.
14:30Their faces were bright with smiles.
14:33Their words were full of praise for Sophia.
14:35Sophia moved through the room like a queen accepting tribute.
14:39Dante walked at her side.
14:40His smile was slightly too careful.
14:43Once everyone was seated, one chair at the table remained empty.
14:46It was my chair.
14:47It had always been mine.
14:49Sophia noticed it immediately.
14:51Her expression turned dark.
14:52She released Dante's arm, walked toward the empty chair.
14:56With one deliberate shove, she sent it crashing to the floor.
14:59She turned on the elderly butler.
15:01What is the meaning of this?
15:02Setting a place for an outsider at a family occasion?
15:06Have you completely lost your mind?
15:07The butler apologized again and again.
15:09Forgive me, Miss Carrozza.
15:11My oversight...
15:13I will remove it immediately.
15:16Silence fell over the dining room.
15:18The relatives glanced at one another.
15:20Some stared into their teacups.
15:22Some adjusted their napkins.
15:24No one dared say a word.
15:26Don Romano frowned.
15:27Don Romano frowned.
15:28Donna Romano parts her lips.
15:29Expression conflicted.
15:30Just as the butler moved to take the chair away, Dante stood up.
15:34It's only an extra chair.
15:36Leave it.
15:37His voice carried the full weight of a man used to being obeyed.
15:41Dante!
15:42What exactly are you saying?
15:44Sophia whirled toward him.
15:46I'm saying what I said.
15:47He turned to the butler.
15:49Put it back.
15:51We won't have people thinking the Romano family has so little grace.
15:54The butler straightened, gave a respectful nod.
15:56Sophia's face went white, then red.
15:59Her fists tightened at her sides.
16:01In the end, she smothered her anger, pressed a cold smile onto her face.
16:06Dante is right.
16:08I was being too sensitive.
16:11She returned to her seat.
16:13But when no one was watching, her eyes were venomous.
16:17Don Romano gave a small cough.
16:20It's a family gathering.
16:22Everyone relax.
16:23Cheers, everyone.
16:24The sound of glasses clinking temporarily covered the tension in the air.
16:27When dinner began, Sophia picked up a piece of fish, placed it in Dante's bowl.
16:31Dante, you've always loved fish.
16:33Try it.
16:34Dante stared at the fish in his bowl and suddenly thought of Elena.
16:38Every time there was fish, she would pick out every single bone first, then set it in front of him.
16:44But right now, Sophia didn't even know he hated fish bones.
16:47The long table was packed with people, loud and lively on the surface.
16:52But without Elena here, Dante felt a cold loneliness he had never felt before.
16:57He pushed the food around his bowl, then set down his chopsticks.
17:02Everyone take your time.
17:03He pushed back his chair and stood up.
17:05Dante, are you all right?
17:07Just not feeling well.
17:09He didn't bother with her after that.
17:10Turned and left.
17:12On his way upstairs, he passed my room.
17:14Something he could not name pulled him inside.
17:17He walked inside.
17:18The room had been gutted.
17:20Everything that had belonged to me was gone.
17:22It was as if I had never lived there at all.
17:24Dante felt a chill run through his entire body.
17:27A second later, fury exploded in his chest.
17:30He stormed back downstairs, in front of every family member he demanded.
17:34The laughter in the dining room cut off constantly.
17:37Who touched Elena's room?
17:39The old butler glanced at Sophia.
17:42Young master, it was Miss Caruso who gave the order this afternoon.
17:47Sophia set down her utensils.
17:49Dante, why get so worked up over something so small?
17:53Elena said herself she was leaving with nothing.
17:56She has no use for that old junk.
17:58So I had it all packed up and sent to the scrapyard.
18:01The scrapyard?
18:03Dante's voice shot up.
18:04His eyes instantly turned red.
18:06Sophia finally sensed something was wrong.
18:08But she still couldn't be bothered to care.
18:11It's just old clothes, old books, and old photos.
18:14She didn't even want them.
18:16Why let them take up space?
18:17Dante's chest heaved violently.
18:19His vision blurred at the edges.
18:22That so-called old junk included the photo album Elena had kept for years.
18:27The birthday gifts she had made for him with her own hands.
18:30The shells and leaves they had collected together as children.
18:3420 years of memory thrown into the garbage by Sophia without a second thought.
18:39He stared at Sophia and nearly shouted.
18:44Who gave you the right?
18:45That was her room, her things.
18:47What made you think you could touch them?
18:49The entire dining room went dead silent.
18:52Everyone was stunned by Dante's sudden outburst.
18:58Dante, today's the day I become a Romano wife and you're raising your voice at me over
19:02some outsider?
19:03Is that really appropriate?
19:05Outsider?
19:06Dante let out a cold laugh.
19:07Elena has lived in this house for 20 years.
19:10Who dares call her an outsider?
19:12The words hit Sophia across the face.
19:14All her smug satisfaction vanished.
19:17Her voice turned icy.
19:18Have you forgotten Dante?
19:20Who chose me instead of her?
19:22Who personally told her to walk out with nothing?
19:26And now what exactly are you trying to do?
19:28Don Romano and Donna Romano hurried to smooth things over.
19:32Sophia's words drove into him like a blade.
19:34She was right.
19:35He was the one who drove me away.
19:37He was the one who let the reporter surround me.
19:40He was the one who stood silent while I was humiliated.
19:43He was the one who did nothing while I was pushed into the street with almost nothing.
19:48He had turned me into a laughing stock before the entire city.
19:52Where are they now?
19:53Dante's eyes fixed on the butler.
19:54They should still be at the South District Waste Collection Yard.
19:57Dante headed straight for the door.
19:58Dante!
19:59Have you lost your mind?
20:00You're walking out on me?
20:01For a pile of Elena's junk?
20:05Dante wrenched his arm free.
20:08Those things are not junk.
20:10The fury in his eyes was something no one had ever seen before.
20:14He couldn't get the rest of the words out.
20:15Sophia's face twisted with fury.
20:17If you walk through that door tonight, don't blame me for...
20:20For what?
20:20Dante cuts her off.
20:21Turning me out the way you turned out Elena?
20:26Cold sweat broke out across her skin.
20:29She was nothing but the Romano family's ward.
20:31Everything she had came from this mafia family.
20:34Never mind throwing Dante out.
20:35Her very life was in his hands.
20:37She forced out a smile.
20:39I'm sorry, Dante.
20:40I was wrong.
20:41I shouldn't have touched Elena's things without asking.
20:44And I shouldn't have raised my voice at you.
20:46It's pouring rain outside right now.
20:47Wait until tomorrow when it clears up.
20:49I'll go with you to get everything back.
20:50Dante broke free and ran out into the rain.
20:54The rain instantly soaked through his suit and hair.
20:57He didn't care.
20:58His heart was slamming inside his chest.
21:00One voice kept echoing through his head.
21:02It's all too late.
21:04He pulled out his phone.
21:05He wanted to call Elena.
21:06But his fingers froze in midair.
21:08Because he suddenly remembered.
21:10When Elena left the Romano estate yesterday,
21:12she had left her phone behind.
21:14He saw in his mind the calm look in her eyes as she walked away.
21:17The finality of how she removed each thing from her body.
21:21Peace by piece.
21:22Elena, rain and tears mixed together, running down Dante's face.
21:26At the city's south scrapyard, workers were about to lock up for the night.
21:30Then they saw a man, soaking wet.
21:32The things that were brought from the Romano estate this afternoon?
21:34Stumble in at a run.
21:36Dante was gasping for breath.
21:38Water dripped from the ends of his hair.
21:40Where are they?
21:41The workers looked at each other,
21:43then pointed toward several large cardboard boxes in the corner.
21:47Soaked, dirty.
21:48Dante threw himself at them.
21:49With clumsy, frantic hands,
21:51he tore the boxes open.
21:53Elena's clothes, books, photo album,
21:55all of it soaked in rainwater.
21:57Ink bleeding and spreading.
21:59Photos stuck together.
22:00He picked up a soaked diary with trembling hands
22:03and carefully opened it.
22:05Elena's neat handwriting had blurred,
22:07but a few lines were still readable.
22:09Today, Dante cried again.
22:11Sophia forgot his birthday.
22:13I baked his favorite cake,
22:14but he didn't touch a single piece.
22:16Another page.
22:17Dante had a fever, 89 degrees.
22:20I sat with him through the night.
22:21By sunrise, the fever had broken.
22:24Sophia came at noon.
22:25Just a bouquet of flowers.
22:27But Dante was so happy when he saw her.
22:29Every page was about him.
22:31Every line was soaked through with a love.
22:33I had never once said aloud.
22:35Dante's vision blurred.
22:36He pressed the diary against his chest.
22:38He held it as if holding it tightly enough
22:41could change something.
22:42Hey, sir.
22:43We're about to lock up.
22:44One of the workers gave a careful reminder.
22:46Dante did not hear him.
22:47He kept searching through the boxes.
22:49His fingers closed around a handmade music box.
22:53He knew this music box.
22:54He had been 16.
22:56He had once casually mentioned
22:57wanting a snow globe music box.
22:59He had not even meant it as a real request.
23:02But one month later, on his birthday,
23:04I placed it in his hands.
23:06He had only glanced at it.
23:08Oh, sure.
23:08Just set it down somewhere.
23:10Then he turned to open Sophia's gift.
23:13He never noticed the cuts and calluses covering my hands.
23:16Not once.
23:17Dante's grip on the music box tightened.
23:20Dante's face crumples.
23:21Mouth opening in a broken cry.
23:24He pulled out his phone.
23:25Father, help me find Elena.
23:28Bring her home.
23:29Please, I'm begging you.
23:31The day after meeting the Conti Patriarch,
23:34I followed them to New Vance.
23:36Old man Conti stood before the soaring glass towers
23:39of the Conti headquarters.
23:40He smiled like a man who had nothing left to prove.
23:43Elena, from this day forward,
23:44you are the Conti Group's chief designer
23:46to make sure you can do what needs to be done.
23:49And so no one in this building has the nerve to question you.
23:52I put Vincent at your service as your personal assistant.
23:54Whatever you need, tell him.
23:56He'll see to it.
23:57I believe in what you can do.
23:59Give it everything you've got.
24:01As for the Romanos,
24:02leave that entirely to me.
24:05I glanced back at Vincent Conti.
24:07Three years passed like water.
24:09At the gala celebrating the Conti Group's overseas listing,
24:12the ballroom shone like a dream.
24:14It was the night of the New York Stock Exchange bell.
24:17Crystal chandeliers turned the entire room golden.
24:20I stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows.
24:22Outside, the Manhattan skyline glittered.
24:25Elena, a coin for your thoughts?
24:28Nothing really.
24:29It just doesn't quite feel real yet.
24:32I never imagined the Conti Group would come this far in only three years.
24:35That's because you were here.
24:36The Conti name opened the door.
24:38Your boldness kept us there.
24:40I was just the finishing touch.
24:42You're always so modest.
24:44Tonight, I don't want to hear the official version.
24:46Vincent steps closer, tone gentle.
24:49My heart gave a small, uncertain beat.
24:51There was nowhere to look that was not him.
24:53Elena,
24:54tonight is only the beginning of what comes next.
24:57In the road ahead, I want to walk it with you.
24:59Not as partners,
25:00as something more.
