01:00The godfather, my adoptive father, Don Romano, sat at the far end of the room.
01:04Dante, you're not getting any younger. It's time to choose your wife.
01:08Tell us, Sofia or Elena.
01:10I'll bet Dante picks Elena. He's been following her around since they were kids.
01:15In composure and intelligence, I had always been the better choice over Sofia.
01:20That's why I became Dante's wife in my past life.
01:22But in this life, the way Dante looked at me, it wasn't just coldness. It was hatred.
01:28Right then I knew. He had been reborn too, since he had already made up his mind about Sofia.
01:34Fine, let them have each other. All the way to hell.
01:36I stood up.
01:38I know my own limits. I am not worthy of Dante. So, I'm stepping down.
01:42Dante clearly froze. But, he said nothing.
01:45Turned and walked out of the meeting room. I knew where he was going.
01:49At this point in time, Sofia had not yet died in that car crash.
01:53There was still time.
01:55Sixty years of marriage. And it had only ever been a joke.
01:59Elena!
01:59Don Romano's voice came from the far end of the room.
02:02What did you just say?
02:04I raised my head and looked at this man who had raised me like his own daughter.
02:07Don Romano.
02:09Since Dante already has someone in his heart,
02:12I am withdrawing from this engagement.
02:14They both understood what Dante's sudden exit meant.
02:17I went back to my room and started packing.
02:21The next morning, I opened my phone.
02:23The entire screen was covered with news.
02:26Dante Romano and Sofia Caruso had publicly announced their engagement.
02:31In the photos, smiling like spring sunlight, Dante held her close.
02:36His eyes full of a tenderness I had never once seen directed at me.
02:40I scrolled past every photo without changing expression.
02:42By noon, voices rose from the courtyard below.
02:46I stood by the window and watched Dante walk Sofia through the estate gates,
02:50side by side, as if the entire estate already belonged to them.
02:54Moments later, angry voices erupted from the direction of the study.
02:58Father, I already said it. I chose Sofia.
03:00So why is Elena still listed as chief jewelry designer?
03:03The jewelry division has always been Elena's responsibility.
03:05She is clean.
03:06If we replace her overnight, the FBI will focus on us again.
03:10I don't care. I've already made my decision.
03:14Sofia is the future wife of the Romano family.
03:17Are you really going to trust an outsider over your own son's choice?
03:23Romano jewelry was the family's most important legitimate business,
03:27built during their years of going to clean.
03:29In my past life, under my management,
03:32Romano jewelry had swallowed three of Newark's oldest jewelry houses.
03:36It was what finally let the Romano group shed the last shadow of the mind.
03:41Dante knew that better than anyone.
03:43Thank you, Donna.
03:44The butler led me to the study.
03:46Don Romano, looking older than I remembered.
03:49Elena, there is something I need to discuss with you.
03:52Don Romano, there's no need, I understand.
03:54He looked up at me, surprise, then turned into deeper and sadder.
03:59He had raised me, protected me, and treated me like his own daughter.
04:03But now even he could not stop the tide.
04:06He was too old to continue running everything himself.
04:10The family needed a successor.
04:11That was Dante.
04:13Don Romano let out a long sigh.
04:15The jewelry business has always been yours.
04:17Taking it from you so suddenly is not right.
04:20But you know Dante's temperament.
04:23He has always been more stubborn than I ever was.
04:26Don Romano, I understand.
04:29Inside are all the design files and handover documents for the current projects.
04:33The access codes are included.
04:35Dante already knows them.
04:37It was a Romano family heirloom.
04:38It represented the future wife of the family.
04:41I had worn it since I was 18.
04:43In my previous life, it had never once left my wrist.
04:47Don Romano, I am grateful for everything these years have given me.
04:50The study door flew open.
04:52Dante walked in, with Sofia right behind him.
04:55Father, is it settled?
04:56He came straight to Don Romano's side without looking at me once.
05:00Don Romano pushed the files and the bracelet forward.
05:03Elena has already agreed to the handover.
05:06Before Dante could even react, Sofia snatched up the bracelet.
05:10Her face lit up with unconcealed triumph.
05:12Wait.
05:14Elena, are you trying to go back on your word?
05:16This contains the core intelligence of the jewelry's operation.
05:19It includes confidential agreement terms with several critical suppliers.
05:23Dante took the folder and started flipping through it.
05:25His face grew darker the more he read.
05:27If these details are mishandled, the Romano group could suffer catastrophic losses.
05:31But I'm sure-sure Sofia is more than capable of managing them.
05:35Sofia forces a confident smile.
05:36You worry too much.
05:37I know exactly what I'm doing.
05:40Sofia's only real skill was knowing which latest Chanel to charge to a card.
05:44She knew nothing about design, business negotiations, and no idea how to make old money nobles sign with a mafia
05:52family.
05:53Romano jewelry's success was built on every design sketch I drew, every negotiation I sat through.
05:59Not a single step could be skipped.
06:02You may leave.
06:04From today on, the Romano group has nothing to do with you.
06:07I was just about to turn and go, but Sofia suddenly spoke.
06:11Hold on.
06:12I stopped.
06:13Since Elena has lost her place, she's no longer a member of the Romano family, is she?
06:18By the rules, she shouldn't be taking anything the family gave her.
06:21She should leave with nothing.
06:26Dante, don't you agree?
06:27I fixed my gaze on Dante.
06:29Is this what you want?
06:31Dante stood there, the color in his face shifting.
06:34His eyes slid away from mine.
06:36Those few seconds of silence said everything.
06:38Enough!
06:40Elena has lived in this house for 20 years.
06:42Even without the title of wife, she is half a Romano.
06:44Father, Sofia is right.
06:46If the decision has been made, it should be made completely clean and final.
06:50I laughed.
06:52Don Romano, since this is Dante's decision, I respect it.
06:55I looked at Dante.
06:56Dante, he turned his face away.
06:58Since we've come this far, some things need to be settled.
07:01I took over Romano jewelry at 18.
07:04From then until now, exactly five years.
07:08Year one, my jewelry designs won the federal annual grand prize.
07:13Revenue, 300 million.
07:16Net profit, 40 million.
07:19Year two, I broke into the European auction cycle.
07:23Revenue, 800 million.
07:25Net profit, 120 million.
07:28Year three, I brought Romano jewelry into the Middle Eastern royal market.
07:33Year four, I got the Romano group onto the legitimate business wealth rankings.
07:37For the first time ever.
07:39Year five, I helped the family cut its last underground funding chain.
07:44I listed them out.
07:45Don Romano's expression grew heavier.
07:47Over five years, the net profit I generated for the Romano family exceeded 2 billion.
07:53He knew better than anyone what those numbers meant.
07:56In our previous life, the Romano family rose to the top of the world's elite.
08:01The Romano family raised me for 20 years.
08:03I made this family 2 billion.
08:05That debt is settled today.
08:07We're even.
08:08The Romano family owes me nothing.
08:10I owe the Romano family nothing.
08:11I leave with nothing.
08:12From this day forward, we have no ties.
08:14Pretty words.
08:16But can you really call this leaving with nothing?
08:22This custom gown, at least 100,000, right?
08:26This watch, starting price, a million.
08:31And this, limited edition Bugatti, over 10 million.
08:36Every single one of these was bought with the Romano family's money, wasn't it?
08:41I let her pull it and humiliate me.
08:43My eyes stayed on Dante days.
08:46Dante, all these years between us, are they really worth nothing at all?
08:51I thought that being reborn would mean I had completely let go.
08:54But in this moment, it still felt like a knife carving into my chest.
08:58Still so painful I could barely breathe.
09:00Then, I pushed every feeling down.
09:02You don't have to go this far!
09:04Don Romano, rules are rules.
09:06Watch, bag, heels.
09:08Earrings, necklace.
09:09I took each one off.
09:11Set each one down neatly on the floor.
09:13Finally, I stood barefoot on the cold marble.
09:16When I began to reach for the zipper at the back of my gown,
09:19he finally could not stop himself from looking away.
09:23Enough!
09:24He could not bear it anymore.
09:25Elena, stop, please.
09:27I folded the dress carefully.
09:29Then I set it on top of everything else.
09:30From this moment on, I am just myself.
09:33My name is Elena Vazquez.
09:35I am no longer the Romano family's ward.
09:37I walked out through the Romano estate's back entrance in nothing but my underwear.
09:40Outside, a mob of reporters had already gathered.
09:43No one knew when they had arrived.
09:45The moment they saw me, they surged forward.
09:46Ms. Vazquez, how does it feel to be thrown out by the Romano?
09:49We heard you weren't even allowed to keep your underwear, is that true?
09:52The flashbulbs were blinding.
09:53I had to narrow my eyes against them.
09:55Please move aside.
09:56The crowd burst into laughter.
09:57One reporter at the front deliberately aimed his camera at the most private parts of my body.
10:01His face looked familiar.
10:03I was almost sure I had seen him at one of Sofia's birthday parties.
10:05I shielded myself with my arms and pushed through as fast as I could.
10:09Someone shoved me hard from behind.
10:11My side slammed against a sharp piece of stone.
10:13I forced myself up, kept moving.
10:19The reporters followed me like wolves.
10:21They would not stop.
10:22I turned into a narrow alley and finally lost them.
10:25When I came out the other side, a black Maybox was waiting at the curb.
10:28It blocked my path, the window lowered.
10:30A man's face appeared.
10:31He was impossibly handsome.
10:33Vincent Conti inside the car, sharp features, elegant suit, calm gaze.
10:36Mrs. Vasquez, I am Vincent Conti, of the Conti family.
10:40He shrugged off his jacket, gently draped it over my shoulders.
10:43My grandfather would very much like to meet you.
10:45Would that be alright?
10:46I went still.
10:47Alina freezes.
10:49Vincent Conti.
10:50The most celebrated heir in the entire New Vance underworld.
11:02The Conti family, a dynasty so ancient and deep-rooted
11:07that in my previous life,
11:09I had spent ten years
11:12fighting for a seat at their table.
11:15And now they were seeking me out.
11:17I straightened my spine,
11:19then I gave a slow nod.
11:20It would be my honor.
11:22The next morning, inside the Romano Villa,
11:25Dante sat motionless before his phone.
11:27The top-trending story was about me.
11:30Romano family's ward, Elena Vasquez, stripped of status,
11:32cast out, walks the streets half-naked.
11:35Disgraceful.
11:36An embarrassment to the city.
11:38Apparently, if it weren't for young master Romano's mercy,
11:41she wouldn't have kept even the clothes on her back.
11:43Dante's thumb pauses over the screen,
11:45expression unreadable.
11:47Yesterday, she was the Romano Group's chief designer.
11:50Today, she is lower than a beggar.
11:52What a fall.
11:54What is so surprising?
11:55Rich men's pet dogs all end up the same way sooner or later.
11:59Dante clicked the video without meaning to.
12:01The image of my bear, stumbling figure,
12:03made something seize in his chest.
12:05Then the camera stuck across my spine.
12:06Blood was flowing freely from the wound.
12:08The camera lingered on an old scar across my abdomen.
12:11Dante's finger froze on the screen.
12:15Dante, what are you watching?
12:17Sofia wrapped her arms around him from behind, glanced at the screen.
12:21I spent a fortune getting 50 media outlets to wait for her.
12:25Worth every cent.
12:27Those reporters.
12:29You arrange that?
12:30Of course.
12:34Now all of Castelo City knows exactly what Elena Vasquez is.
12:39No one will have anything to say about your choice anymore.
12:42Dante forced a smile.
12:43The image of my blood-soaked side would not leave him.
12:47Seconds later, he pulled Sofia closer.
12:51What's wrong, Dante?
12:53Wasn't last night enough?
12:55Dante said nothing.
12:57He slowly ran one hand along her waist.
12:59Then they did again.
13:00But this time, Dante merely maintained a mechanical movement,
13:02his gaze fixed on Sofia's abdomen.
13:04Afterward, Sofia looked confused but still forced out a smile.
13:08Baby, you were amazing.
13:10That's already the third time.
13:12But Dante ignored her.
13:14He pushed her aside and pulled the video back up.
13:17He opened the video again and looked more carefully at my body.
13:20Sofia noticed his focus and spoke sourly.
13:22What is so fascinating?
13:24Parading around half-dressed in front of that many people.
13:27Shameless.
13:28Lucky she got thrown out when she did.
13:30Otherwise, she would have embarrassed the Romano name for years.
13:33Dante heard none of it.
13:34He was searching for something.
13:37After a moment, he pushed Sofia away.
13:42Then he ran upstairs to my empty bedroom.
13:44He found the storage box.
13:46He went through the photographs.
13:48There were pictures of the three of us from years ago.
13:51Thick album.
13:52I appeared in only one photo.
13:54It had been taken more than ten years ago on the coast near Castello City.
13:57In the picture, Dante sat on the sand holding Sofia's hand, grinning broadly.
14:01I stood apart at the edge of the frame.
14:03I was holding his swimming ring for him.
14:04I looked like a servant girl who did not belong there.
14:07Out of place in every corner of the image.
14:09But one thing was clear.
14:11Bandages were wrapped around my shoulder and around my abdomen.
14:15Dante went rigid.
14:16Mare crashed over him like cold water.
14:19That summer, he had sneaked to the hill behind the estate to play.
14:22Then he tumbled down the slope.
14:24His stomach slammed into a jagged rock.
14:26As his vision began to fade, a girl hauled him onto her back.
14:30The path down was rough.
14:32The pain in his belly was unbearable.
14:34Without thinking, he bit into her shoulder.
14:36Her skin split and bled.
14:38She did not make a sound.
14:39Instead, she said gently and steadily.
14:42Don't be afraid.
14:43The hospital is almost here.
14:45When Dante woke up, the first face he saw was Sofia's.
14:49The nurse told him a girl had carried him to the hospital in time.
14:52A rock had struck his kidney and caused severe internal bleeding.
14:55That girl had donated one of her own kidneys to save him.
14:58Because of a clotting disorder, she had nearly bled out on the operating table.
15:03Dante had asked Sofia from his hospital bed if she had saved him.
15:06Sofia went very still for a moment.
15:08But she did not deny it.
15:10Young Sofia frozen.
15:12Fingers tightening around the bedsheet.
15:14Lowers her eyes.
15:15Silently accepting the credit.
15:17Dante kneel motionless in my bedroom.
15:19All the air seemed to leave his body.
15:21Now there was nothing he did not understand.
15:23He had always believed Sofia saved his life.
15:26That was why she held such a special place in his heart.
15:29Why her death had haunted him so deeply.
15:32And all this time he had been wrong.
15:34Unforgivably wrong.
15:35Dante's legs gave out beneath him.
15:37The album slipped from his hands and hit the floor.
15:40He sank down against the wall.
15:41He whispered to no one.
15:42I was wrong about everything.
15:44All along, it had been me.
15:46That evening, the Romano Villa blazed with light.
15:49Relatives had gathered from every branch of the family.
15:51Their faces were bright with smiles.
15:53Their words were full of praise for Sofia.
15:55Sofia moved through the room like a queen accepting tribute.
15:59Dante walked at her side.
16:00His smile was slightly too careful.
16:02Once everyone was seated, one chair at the table remained empty.
16:05It was my chair.
16:07It had always been mine.
16:08Sofia noticed it immediately.
16:10Her expression turned dark.
16:12She released Dante's arm.
16:14Walked toward the empty chair.
16:15With one deliberate shove, she sent it crashing to the floor.
16:19She turned on the elderly butler.
16:21What is the meaning of this?
16:23Forgive me, Miss Caruso.
16:24Setting a place for an outsider at a family occasion?
16:27Have you completely lost your mind?
16:30My oversight.
16:32I will remove it immediately.
16:34Silence fell over the dining room.
16:36The relatives glanced at one another.
16:38Some stared into their teacups.
16:40Some adjusted their napkins.
16:42No one dared say a word.
16:43Don Romano frowned.
16:45Donna Romano parts her lip.
16:47Expression conflicted.
16:48Just as the butler moved to take the chair away, Dante stood up.
16:51It's only an extra chair.
16:54His voice carried the full weight of a man used to being obeyed.
16:57Leave it.
16:59Sofia whirled toward him.
17:01Dante, what exactly are you saying?
17:04I'm saying what I said.
17:06He turned to the butler.
17:07Put it back.
17:08Yes, young master.
17:13We won't have people thinking the Romano family has so little grace.
17:17The butler straightened, gave a respectful nod.
17:20Sofia's face went white, then red, fists tightened at her sides.
17:24In the end, she smothered her anger, pressed a sold smile onto her face.
17:28Dante is right.
17:29I was being too sensitive.
17:31She returned to her seat, but when no one was watching, her eyes were venomous.
17:36Don Romano gave a small cough.
17:39It's a family gathering.
17:41Everyone relax.
17:42Cheers, everyone.
17:43The sound of glasses clinking temporarily covered the tension in the air.
17:47When dinner began, Sofia picked up a piece of fish, placed it in Dante's bowl.
17:52Her voice was soft.
17:53Dante, you've always loved fish.
17:55Try it.
17:56Dante stared at the fish in his bowl and suddenly thought of Elena.
18:00Every time there was fish, she would pick out every single bone first,
18:03then set it in front of him, then sighed.
18:06But right now, Sofia didn't even know he hated fish bones.
18:09The long table was packed with people, loud and lively on the surface.
18:13But without Elena here, Dante felt a cold loneliness he had never felt before.
18:19He pushed the food around his bowl, then set down his chopsticks.
18:22Everyone take your time.
18:25Pushed back his chair and stood up.
18:27Dante, are you alright?
18:31Just not feeling well.
18:33He didn't bother with her after that, turned and left.
18:36On his way upstairs, he passed my room.
18:38Something he could not name pulled him inside.
18:40He walked inside.
18:42The room had been gutted.
18:44Everything that had belonged to me was gone.
18:46It was as if I had never lived there at all.
18:49Dante felt a chill run through his entire body.
18:51A second later, fury exploded in his chest.
18:54He stormed back downstairs.
18:56In front of every family member, he demanded,
18:58Who touched Elena's room?
19:00The laughter in the dining room cut off instantly.
19:05The old butler glanced at Sofia.
19:08Young master.
19:10It was Miss Caruso who gave the order this afternoon.
19:13Sofia set down her utensils.
19:15Dante, why get so worked up over something so small?
19:20Elena said herself she was leaving with nothing.
19:24She has no use for that old junk.
19:26So, I had it all packed up and sent to the scrapyard.
19:31The scrapyard.
19:32Sofia finally sensed something was wrong.
19:34But she still couldn't be bothered to care.
19:36It's just old clothes, old books, and old photos.
19:40She didn't even want them.
19:42Why let them take up space?
19:43Dante's chest heaved violently.
19:45His vision blurred at the edges.
19:48That so-called old junk included the photo album Elena had kept for years.
19:52The birthday gifts she had made for him with her own hands.
19:55The shells and leaves they had collected together as children's.
19:5820 years of memory thrown into the garbage by Sofia without a second thought.
20:03He fast stared at Sofia and nearly shouted.
20:06Who gave you the right?
20:08That was her room.
20:10Her things.
20:11What made you think you could touch them?
20:14The entire dining room went dead silent.
20:17Everyone was stunned by Dante's sudden outburst.
20:21Sofia's smile curdled.
20:22Dante.
20:23Today is the day I become a Loma Romano wife.
20:26And you're raising your voice at me over some outsider?
20:30Is that really appropriate?
20:31Dante let out a cold laugh.
20:33Outsider?
20:34Elena has lived in this house for 20 years.
20:38Who dares call her an outsider?
20:40The words hit Sofia across the face.
20:42All her smug satisfaction vanished.
20:44Her voice turned icy.
20:46Have you forgotten Dante?
20:47Who chose me instead of her?
20:49Who personally told her to walk out with nothing?
20:53And now what exactly are you trying to do?
20:56Don Romano and Donna Romano hurried to smooth things over.
21:00Sofia's words drove into him like a blade.
21:03She was right.
21:04He was the one who drove me away.
21:05He was the one who let the reporters surround me.
21:08He was the one who stood silent while I was humiliated.
21:10He was the one who did nothing while I was pushed into the street with almost nothing.
21:15He had turned me into a laughingstock before the entire city.
21:19Where are they now?
21:20Dante's eyes fixed on the butler.
21:22They should still be at the South District Waste Collection Yard.
21:25Dante headed straight for the door.
21:27Sofia grabbed his wrist.
21:28Dante!
21:29Have you lost your mind?
21:31You're walking out on me?
21:33For a pile of Elena's junk?
21:35Dante wrenched his arm free.
21:37The fury in his eyes was something no one had ever seen before.
21:40Those things are not junk!
21:42They're...
21:42He couldn't get the rest of the words out.
21:45Sofia's face twisted with fury.
21:47If you walk through that door night to night,
21:50Don't blame me for...
21:51I fight!
21:52For what?
21:53Dante cuts her off.
21:55Turning me out the way you turned out a...
21:58Elena?
21:59Cold sweat broke out across her skin.
22:01She was nothing but the Romano family's ward.
22:04Everything she had came from this mafia family.
22:07Never mind throwing Dante out.
22:09Her very life was in his hands.
22:11She forced out a smile.
22:13I'm sorry, Dante.
22:15I was wrong.
22:16I shouldn't have touched Elena's things without asking.
22:19And I shouldn't have raised my voice at you.
22:21It's pouring rain outside right now.
22:23Wait until tomorrow when it clears up.
22:24I'll go with you to get everything back, okay?
22:26Dante broke free and ran out into the rain.
22:29The rain instantly soaked through his suit and hair.
22:32He didn't care.
22:33His heart was slamming inside his chest.
22:35One voice kept echoing through his head.
22:38Too late.
22:39It's all too late.
22:39He pulled out his phone.
22:41He wanted to call Elena.
22:43But his fingers froze in midair.
22:46Because he suddenly remembered.
22:48When Elena left the Romano estate yesterday.
22:51She had left her phone behind.
22:52He saw in his mind the calm look.
22:54In her eyes as she walked away.
22:57The finality of how she removed each thing from her body.
23:00Piece by piece.
23:01Rain and tears mixed together.
23:03Running down Dante's face.
23:05I'm sorry.
23:06At the city south scrapyard.
23:07Workers were about to lock up for the night.
23:09Then they saw a man, soaking wet, stumble in at a run.
23:13The things I brought from the Romano estate this afternoon.
23:15Where are they?
23:16Dante was gasping for breath.
23:19Water, dripped from the ends of his hair.
23:21The workers looked at each other.
23:23Then pointed towards several large cardboard boxes in the corner.
23:26Soaked through.
23:27Dante threw himself at them.
23:29With clumsy frantic hands, he tore the boxes open.
23:33Elena's clothes, books, photo album.
23:35All of it soaked in rainwater.
23:38Ink bleeding and spreading.
23:39Photo stuck together.
23:41He picked up a soaked diary with trembling hands.
23:44And carefully opened it.
23:46Elena's neat handwriting had blurred.
23:48But a few lines were still readable.
23:51Today Dante cried again.
23:53Sophia forgot his birthday.
23:54I baked his favorite cake.
23:56But he didn't touch a single piece.
23:58Another page.
23:59Dante had a fever.
24:0039 degrees.
24:01I sat with him through the night.
24:03By sunrise the fever had broken.
24:05Sophia came at noon.
24:07Just a bouquet of flowers.
24:09But Dante was so happy when he saw her.
24:12Every page was about him.
24:14Every line was soaked through with a love.
24:16I had never once said aloud.
24:18Dante's vision blurred.
24:20He pressed the diary against his chest.
24:22He held it, as if holding it tightly enough could change something.
24:26One of the workers gave a careful reminder.
24:28Hey sir, we're about to lock up.
24:30Dante did not hear him.
24:32He kept searching through the boxes.
24:33His fingers closed around a handmade music box.
24:36He knew this music box.
24:38He had been 16.
24:39He had once casually mentioned wanting a snow globe music box.
24:43He had not even meant it as a real request.
24:45But one month later, on his birthday, I placed it in his hands.
24:49He had only glanced at it.
24:51Oh, sure.
24:53Just set it down somewhere.
24:54Then he turned to open Sophia's gift.
24:56He never noticed the cuts and calluses covering my hands.
24:59Not once.
25:00Dante's grip on the music box tightened.
25:02Dante's face crumples, mouth opening in a broken cry.
25:05He pulled out his phone and called his father.
25:09Father, help me find Elena.
25:11Bring her home.
25:13Please, I'm begging you.
25:15The day after meeting the Conti Patriarch,
25:18I followed them to New Vance.
25:20Old man Conti stood before the soaring glass towers of the Conti headquarters.
25:25He smiled like a man who had nothing left to prove.
25:28Elena, from this day forward, you are the Conti group's chief designer.
25:33And so no one in this building has the nerve to question you.
25:35I put Vincent at your service as your personal assistant.
25:38Whatever you need, tell him.
25:39He'll see to it.
25:40I believe in what you can do.
25:42Give it everything you've got.
25:43As for the Romanos, leave that entirely to me.
25:45I glanced back at Vincent Conti.
25:47Three years passed like water.
25:49At the gala celebrating, the Conti group's overseas listing.
25:53The ballroom shone like a dream.
25:55It was the night of the New York Stock Exchange Belt.
25:58Crystal chandeliers turned the entire room golden.
26:01I stood by the floor to silent windows.
26:04Outside, the Manhattan skyline glittered.
26:07Elena, a coin for your thoughts?
26:10Nothing really.
26:12It just doesn't quite feel real yet.
26:14I never imagined the Conti group would come this far in only three years.
26:19That's because you were here.
26:21The Conti name opened the door.
26:23Your boldness kept us there.
26:25I was just the finishing touch.
26:27You're always so modest.
26:29Tonight, I don't want to hear the official version.
26:31Elena, tonight is only the beginning of what comes next.
26:34And the road ahead, I want to walk it with you.
26:38Not as partners.
26:40As something more.
