00:01As the actual ruler of the Fontana family, I possess enough wealth to purchase half of
00:06New York, a fortune forged from a bullet to my own efforts.
00:09The people pursuing me could even fill the entire Lake Michigan, yet the only one I love
00:13is my husband Sebastian.
00:14I secretly paid for the family trip my husband had planned to Florida.
00:18The Private Jet.
00:20The Seven Star Hotel.
00:21Top-tier restaurants.
00:23Down to the photographers and makeup artists, I paid for it all.
00:27Sebastian rarely had time away from family business.
00:29When I found out about the trip, I was secretly thrilled but didn't show it.
00:33As the real head of the Fontana family, I was willing to pay for everything.
00:37His effort meant more to me than moneyed, I thought he wanted to celebrate our anniversary.
00:41Turns out I was paying for another woman.
00:43Three days before we left, Sebastian suddenly said to me.
00:47Natalia's coming to Florida with us.
00:51What?
00:52The jet's full.
00:53I gave your seat to Natalia.
00:56You can drive yourself.
00:57He sent the updated itinerary to my phone.
01:00I opened it and my blood ran cold.
01:03The route went straight through Marchetti territory.
01:06Last month, a gunfight broke out there.
01:08Three mobsters were executed in broad daylight.
01:10Even so, he still wanted me to drive there.
01:14What do you mean?
01:15This is our anniversary trip and you're bringing Natalia?
01:20Who told you this is an anniversary trip?
01:23Natalia just got back to New York and feels insecure.
01:26Of course I'm taking her with me.
01:28So this was never an anniversary trip.
01:31It turned out to be Sebastian's surprise for Natalia.
01:34So I'm the outsider of this trip all along?
01:37Natalia is no outsider.
01:39We grew up together.
01:40To me, she's family.
01:41So that's why you gave her my seat?
01:44I can't book another jet.
01:46Someone's got to give one up.
01:47Besides, don't you have experience dealing with the Marchettos?
01:50You'll be fine on your own.
01:53Natalia's never been to Florida before.
01:56I can't leave her to those people alone.
01:58So Natalia gets the private jet and an armed escort,
02:01yet I, as your wife, have to drive through enemy territory alone?
02:07You always enjoy a little danger, don't you?
02:10Take this as your chance.
02:11I turned to the others in the living room.
02:13My father-in-law, Robert, kept his head down like he hadn't heard a word.
02:17Darling, Natalia and Sebastian have known each other practically their whole lives.
02:21They've got a lot to talk about.
02:22Isn't it natural they'd want to sit together?
02:24Elena, Natalia is so timid.
02:26How could she cross those dangerous territories alone?
02:28A tough girl like you will be fine.
02:30I looked at every one of them and suddenly felt ridiculous.
02:32Who's really your family here?
02:34Because anyone watching would think it was Natalia.
02:37But I'm the one paying your hundreds of thousands of dollars in monthly living expenses.
02:42Keeping your business afloat.
02:43I even pay for Olivia's prep school tuition, and this is the thanks I get?
02:47It's not like I told you to stay home.
02:49I just asked you to go alone.
02:51Can you stop making a fussy over something this small?
02:54You're the lady of the Fontana family.
02:56People will talk.
02:57Just then, the front door swung open.
03:04Natalia, you're home!
03:06I've always wished you'd never left, so you'll be part of the family now.
03:10So good to see you again, Natalia.
03:12I've always thought you and Sebastian were meant for each other.
03:15Natalia stood among them, wearing the smug smile of a victor.
03:18That was the moment I gave up on all of them.
03:24Natalia had grown up with Sebastian.
03:26But six years ago, when the Greco family fell apart, she walked away.
03:30A rival family seized their docks, shut down their casinos, and wiped out their gambling business in one night.
03:35Buried under millions in debt.
03:37The Grecos were on the verge of collapse.
03:39Natalia was the first to abandon Sebastian.
03:41She even walked away with what little the Greco family had left.
03:45The night she left, Sebastian got drunk and sat outside the estate until sunrise.
03:49I was the one who paid off the Greco's $5 million debt.
03:52I was the one who used my connections to help them reclaim control of three blocks.
03:56Sebastian was grateful, so he married me.
03:59The truth was, the entire Greco family owed me.
04:01I'd been raising Olivia since she was 10.
04:04I paid for her tuition, her gowns and jewelry, even her writing and etiquette lessons.
04:08I wanted her to stand shoulder to shoulder with every other heiress.
04:11As for Robert and Diana, I never said no to them.
04:14I gave them a fixed $8,000 a month for living expenses, paid their medical bills,
04:18gave them everything they asked for.
04:20The estate they lived in was mine.
04:22The luxury SUV they drove was a gift from me.
04:24Even the household staff were paid by me.
04:26I wasn't Sebastian's wife.
04:28I was their bank account.
04:29And even then, I still came after an outsider.
04:33I'm sorry, Elena.
04:35I never meant to take your seat.
04:39He said he'd never forgive himself if anything happened to me.
04:43I really hope this doesn't come between us.
04:46Of course we won't let you do that.
04:49You're too pretty to be anywhere near Marseki territory.
04:53You'd be in danger.
04:55But Elena scares people like them.
04:58She can take care of herself.
05:00The two of them burst into laughter.
05:02Sebastian finally seemed to notice the look on my face.
05:04All right.
05:06I know you're upset.
05:08Remember that designer bag you've been wanting?
05:11I swashed my card.
05:13Consider it my makeup.
05:15Fifty grand.
05:17What?
05:18The bag.
05:20You said you'd buy it for me.
05:22So?
05:24Fifty thousand dollars.
05:27Fifty grand.
05:29I'm already letting you spend my money.
05:32Don't push it.
05:34Your money?
05:37You seriously think that's yours, Sebastian?
05:40How much do you even make in a month?
05:45You didn't have to make it personal, Elena.
05:49Make it personal?
05:50Sebastian made three thousand dollars a month.
05:52And I made one hundred thousand.
05:55The life he enjoyed today existed because of me.
05:57Everyone in New York's underworld knew the truth.
06:00Sebastian Greco lived off his wife.
06:02So if they like Natalia so much, she can support them from now on.
06:06It's time for you to prepare dinner, Elena.
06:10Sweetheart, I remember beef stew was your favorite when you were a child.
06:13Make sure you have seconds tonight.
06:15How could I forget?
06:16I grew up eating at this table with Sebastian.
06:19Those were the happiest days of my life.
06:21In that case, Diana, why don't you cook it yourself?
06:24Since Natalia doesn't come back very often.
06:28What?
06:29Elena, how could you make my mother cook?
06:32She's not been well lately.
06:33Really?
06:34Diana, you've been sick?
06:36Why didn't you tell me?
06:36I'll book you an appointment with the best specialist in New York.
06:39Who said I'm sick?
06:40I'm perfectly fine!
06:42Then making a meal for Natalia shouldn't be a problem.
06:47Two hours later, dinner was finally served.
06:50Olivia immediately pulled out the chair beside Sebastian for Natalia.
06:54You sit here, Natalia.
06:56Elena won't mind.
06:58If that bothers you, there's always the kitchen.
07:00And if you eat in there, help the mod clean up afterward.
07:03I looked around the table.
07:05The whole scene seemed too absurd.
07:07This was my estate.
07:09I bought the dining table.
07:10I paid for every chair around it.
07:13Yet I was the one being told to eat in the kitchen.
07:16No thanks.
07:17I have dinner plans with a client.
07:19We leave tomorrow.
07:21Where are you going?
07:21Have you packed?
07:24What?
07:25The great Grecio family can't even pack their own luggage?
07:31I went to Manhattan's most exclusive private clubs.
07:34And for the first time, I realized spending my own money felt so good.
07:38By the time I returned to the estate, it was deep into the night.
07:42The entire estate was dark.
07:44No calls.
07:45No texts.
07:46No one cared where I was, or if I was safe.
07:49I pushed the master bedroom door open, and just as I sat on the edge of the bed, a scream
07:53suddenly pierced the silence.
07:54I flipped on the lights.
07:56Natalia was lying in my bed, on my side, under my blanket, her head resting on my pillow.
08:01Sebastian was sitting beside her.
08:03She jolted upright the second she saw me.
08:05Her nightgown slipped off her shoulder.
08:07Dark hickeys covered her skin.
08:09I said nothing.
08:13Elena!
08:14What the hell are you doing?
08:16We were just talking.
08:18It got late.
08:19We must have fallen asleep.
08:21Of course, you just happened to walk into my room, get into my bed, and fall asleep together.
08:27So what are these marks?
08:29You just happened to wake up with it?
08:34Natalia was worried about you.
08:36She stayed up with me to wait for you.
08:39That's all.
08:40Funny.
08:42No calls.
08:44No texts.
08:46And somehow the only place you could wait was my bedroom?
08:50This is absurd!
08:52You're being unreasonable!
08:54I'm home now.
08:55So how long do you plan on staying in my bed?
09:02Sebastian, my face hurts.
09:05It's okay.
09:08I'll get you a nice bag.
09:09The moment they left the room, I shut the bulletproof door and locked it.
09:13Then, I tore everything off the bed and dumped it all into the trash.
09:21Elena!
09:23How dare you lock me out for the whole night?
09:27I knocked for ages and even woke up mom and dad!
09:32You did that on purpose, didn't you?
09:35I sipped my coffee, not even looking up.
09:39Isn't that what you want?
09:41You and Natalia can have more time alone.
09:45What are you talking about?
09:47You're my wife!
09:49I'm glad you remember that.
09:51I thought Natalia had become your wife since she came back.
09:55Right on cue.
09:56Natalia appeared again.
09:57Please, don't argue because of me.
10:00It's my fault.
10:02I don't want to ruin the trip.
10:04See?
10:06Natalia thinks about others.
10:08Unlike you, you just don't know when to stop.
10:13Elena, that's no way for a wife to behave.
10:16To lock her husband out of his own bedroom.
10:21She should have been kicked out already.
10:26Elena, with your temper, Sebastian's going to leave you sooner or later.
10:31I looked at them quietly.
10:33You weren't the ones leaving me.
10:36I was.
10:37At this moment, Sebastian dragged eight massive suitcases into the room.
10:41The convoy's leaving soon.
10:42Let's move.
10:46Take these with you, Elena.
10:49The jet has baggage limits.
10:51Since you're driving, you can carry them for everyone.
10:54I looked at the eight oversized luxury suitcases lined up in front of me,
10:57each one packed to the brim.
10:58Of course.
11:00You go ahead.
11:01I'll see you in Florida.
11:02After everyone left, I took out my phone and called the disposal service.
11:06Hi, I have eight suitcases here.
11:09You can take them all.
11:13After getting rid of the eight suitcases, I called my personal advisor, Richard.
11:17Prepare a divorce agreement.
11:19All assets will be handled to the prima jail agreement.
11:24The moment I sat down in my seat, my phone rang.
11:27Sebastian.
11:28Elena, we can't check into the hotel.
11:30What did you arrange?
11:32You can't even handle something this simple?
11:36Send me the booking details.
11:37I canceled everything.
11:39Canceled?
11:40Are you serious?
11:44Then where are we supposed to stay tonight?
11:47You're insane!
11:48Sebastian, you took your childhood sweetheart on a trip, left your wife behind, made her drive
11:55through enemy-controlled and territory alone, and now you expect her to handle your hotel
11:59bookings too?
12:00If people in New York slurks hear that Sebastian Groh can't even secure a hotel room on a trip, how
12:07exactly do you think they'll laugh at you?
12:12Fine.
12:13I won't argue with you this time, just rebook the hotels for the rest of the trip, and increase my
12:19card limit.
12:21I'm running out of money.
12:23Sebastian received a monthly allowance of $3,000.
12:27Ridiculously, even that came from the Fontana family account.
12:30$3,000 was nowhere near enough, so most of his expenses were paid with an additional credit card under my
12:36name.
12:36For five years of marriage, he swiped.
12:39I paid.
12:40He spent.
12:42I cleaned up.
12:43Everyone in New York knew his lifestyle was funded by me.
12:46Why increase it?
12:48Greco family members need to look presentable when they travel.
12:51Increase it now.
12:52I need it.
12:54Sebastian, everyone in New York knows the Grido family is being kept afloat by me.
12:59What dignity are you talking about?
13:01I hung up.
13:02A notification popped up on my phone.
13:05$60,000 spent.
13:09Five minutes later, I saw Natalia's latest social media post.
13:13In the photo, she was holding Sebastian's arm, the two of them looking far too intimate.
13:18On her wrist was a brand new diamond bracelet.
13:20The caption read,
13:21Nothing compares to being spoiled.
13:23Thank you, my forever night.
13:25The bracelet cost exactly $60,000.
13:28Sebastian had maxed out the credit card, certain I'd pay the bill, just like I always had.
13:33But this time, I called the bank and froze the supplementary card.
13:36The following afternoon, Sebastian called again.
13:39Elena!
13:40Where are you?
13:42Why aren't you here yet?
13:44Why aren't you here yet?
13:45Everyone's waiting for you.
13:46Waiting for me for what?
13:48To eat.
13:50Hurry up!
13:51Don't wait for me.
13:52Go ahead.
13:53We already ate.
13:54We're waiting for you to pay the bill.
13:55I couldn't help laughing at the shamelessness in his voice.
13:58He would never change.
13:59So you can't even afford one meal now?
14:02After buying Natalia that bracelet, did you find out your card had been frozen?
14:09It was you!
14:11Elena!
14:14You deliberately froze the credit card.
14:16What are you doing?
14:17Everyone is waiting to pay the bill!
14:19The first thing you do when the call connects is ask me to pay for your meal.
14:24Did you ever worry something might have happened to me?
14:27What could possibly happen to you?
14:29Unfreeze the card now!
14:31My chest tightened.
14:32To him, Natalia was fragile.
14:34Someone to be protected.
14:36And I, Elena, his wife, was not worth a single thought, even while I was in enemy-controlled territory.
14:41Sebastian Gracho, from this moment on, I, Elena, will not pay a single bill for you ever again.
14:48Elena, don't be like this.
14:49I'll make it up to you when you get here.
14:51I even bought you a gift.
14:52In five years of marriage, whether it was our anniversary or my birthday, he had never once given me a
14:57gift willingly.
14:58The most expensive thing he ever bought me was a silver bracelet worth $120.
15:03A man who spent tens of thousands of dollars a month on my money, had only ever been willing to
15:08spend $120 on me.
15:10I changed my destination.
15:11You can continue your trip.
15:13I'm not coming.
15:15Elena!
15:15You're abandoning a family trip?
15:17What are you trying to do?
15:18A family trip?
15:21You made me drive alone through Marchetti territory and gave my seat to Natalia, and you call that a family
15:28trip?
15:28I knew you were still upset about that.
15:31It's just driving yourself.
15:32It's not like you weren't allowed to come.
15:35So I'm supposed to thank you?
15:37Oh, right.
15:39I forgot to tell you.
15:41The luggage is gone.
15:45What?
15:46Elena, what the hell are you doing?
15:49Sebastian was losing his mind.
15:50The luggage is gone?
15:52My new face cream was in there, and my designer dress?
15:55That's over $10,000!
15:58Don't worry.
15:59Elena lost them.
16:00She'll pay for it.
16:01Elena, you're paying for everything Natalia lost, and everyone else's belongings, too.
16:07We'll need to buy everything again.
16:09Transfer $100,000 first.
16:12If it's not enough, I'll tell you later.
16:15That was when I delivered my final judgment.
16:18Listen carefully, Sebastian Grecci.
16:21I have no obligation to look after your luggage.
16:24You're the ones who left your suitcases behind.
16:26From this moment on, you won't get a single cent from me.
16:30I hung up.
16:31Then I blocked every one of their numbers, and cut off all their social media accounts.
16:36I wasn't going to let them ruin even a second of my time.
16:39After marrying Sebastian, I had become a machine that never stopped running.
16:43Family business.
16:44Underground operations.
16:46The Greco family's entire expenses.
16:48There had never been a moment like this, where I could finally breathe.
16:52Half a month into my trip, an unknown number called.
16:56Elena!
16:57What the hell do you think you're doing?
16:59The staff and bodyguards have all left!
17:05Where are you?
17:09I'm still on vacation.
17:11Vacation?
17:12Are you kidding me?
17:14Olivia's riding lessons, her dress fittings, her ball next month?
17:18Who's going to arrange all of that?
17:19Book a flight back immediately!
17:21Olivia isn't my responsibility.
17:23Besides, she seems to prefer Natalia more.
17:25Let Natalia handle it.
17:27Including all her monthly expenses.
17:29Elena, I'll give you one day.
17:31If I don't see you back here by tomorrow at this time, we're getting a divorce.
17:36Fine.
17:37I already had Richard draft the divorce agreement.
17:40Go sign it.
17:41Are you serious?
17:42Of course.
17:46Elena, wasn't it just driving yourself down that road?
17:49Don't make a big deal out of it.
17:50We're family, aren't we?
17:52We won't be family for much longer.
17:54The estate is an asset I inherited from my father.
17:56You all have one week to move out.
17:59Otherwise, I'll have members of the Fontea family put guns to your heads and personally escort you out.
18:07A week later, I returned home after ending my trip.
18:11Not a single member of the Greco family had left.
18:13Diana was the first to approach me, wearing an unusually warm smile.
18:19Elena, welcome home!
18:21Would you like me to make you something to eat?
18:23That kind of unfamiliar enthusiasm made my skin crawl.
18:26Mrs. Greco, there's no need to trouble yourself.
18:28What did you just call me?
18:30I'm getting divorced from Sebastian.
18:32Very soon, we won't be family anymore.
18:35Is there any problem with calling you, Madame Greco?
18:42Elena, stop joking.
18:43Look, I bought you a gift.
18:44It was a handbag.
18:46Rough leather.
18:47Uneven stitching.
18:48Cheap at a glance.
18:49You spent $60,000 buying jewelry for Natalia.
18:53And you bring me something like this?
18:55What are you talking about?
18:57I spent a lot of money on this.
19:00I chose it specially for you.
19:02Sebastian, stop trying to fool her!
19:04She's only worth a $30 bag!
19:06$60,000.
19:07$30.
19:09What a perfect contrast.
19:13Shut up!
19:16Sebastian, Natalia is back.
19:18You two were even staying in the same room during the trip.
19:22Just divorce Elena.
19:24We don't need her!
19:25Enough!
19:26Go back to your room!
19:28Wait!
19:30You don't need me?
19:32Listen carefully.
19:36Say it.
19:38How much does your brother receive from the family account every month?
19:42$3,000.
19:43And who funds that account?
19:44She knew the answer was the Fontana family.
19:47What about your parents?
19:48Do they have any source of income?
19:51No.
19:52And your horse riding lessons and private tutors each month cost how much?
19:58About $50,000.
20:02$50,000.
20:04Your brother receives $3,000 a month.
20:07And you think you don't need me?
20:09After the divorce, all of you will have to move out.
20:11You won't even be able to afford a decent apartment in this city.
20:16That doesn't matter!
20:17We still have Natalia!
20:19Natalia came back because she ran out of the money she took back then.
20:23She probably can't even afford your monthly riding lessons.
20:27Why does this estate belong entirely to you?
20:29My brother has a share in it too!
20:34This estate is personal property I inherited from my father.
20:37The Fontana family's legal team is far more professional than you think, Olivia.
20:41I suggest you stop wasting your time on this.
20:44Sebastian, don't worry!
20:45Divorce her!
20:47We'll figure something out.
20:53Shut up!
20:55Apologize to Elena right now!
20:58No need.
20:59An apology changes nothing.
21:00I turned to leave.
21:02Sebastian grabbed my arm.
21:04Where are you going again?
21:07Can't we just sit down and talk?
21:09At that moment, Natalia walked in from outside.
21:12Elena, you're finally back?
21:14Out there living it up while abandoning your husband and his family?
21:22Natalia, what right does a bitch who slept in my husband's hotel room have to judge me?
21:28Sebastian!
21:30She hit me again!
21:32The Sebastian who always defended her stood silently this time.
21:38Sebastian couldn't bring himself to give up the Fontana family's resources.
21:41Even though Natalia had shared his bed countless times, even though there was obvious affection between them, he still refused
21:47to divorce me.
21:48Sebastian, if you won't sign the divorce papers, we'll handle this through legal procedures.
21:53Richard has already prepared everything.
21:56Then I turned and walked away.
21:58Their argument broke out behind me.
21:59You said you couldn't stand her anymore!
22:02Why won't you divorce her?
22:06Even if I don't like Elena, I can't just divorce her so easily.
22:10Three days later, Sebastian appeared at the entrance of my usual private club in Manhattan, holding a huge bouquet of
22:15roses.
22:16Elena!
22:19Stop being angry.
22:21I love you.
22:22Please forgive me.
22:24Was it expensive?
22:25Very.
22:26But for you, nothing is too much.
22:28You've never given me flowers before.
22:30I used to hope, even just once, you would.
22:35But you never did.
22:36The bouquet slipped from my hands like trash.
22:40Now, it's too late.
22:44I know I was wrong, Elena.
22:46I really can't lose you.
22:48You're not afraid of losing me.
22:49You're afraid of losing the person who pays your debts, covers your bills, and keeps the Greco family's last bit
22:55of status alive in this city.
22:56Your ATM.
22:57No, that's not true.
22:59I really do love you-
23:01Enough.
23:03You disgust me.
23:04If you keep bothering me, I will send the photos of you and Natalia in my bed that night to
23:09every family in New York.
23:11A man who lives off his wife's family, cheating with another woman in his wife's bed.
23:16Do you think they'll keep that to themselves?
23:19You took photos?
23:21Delete them!
23:22Now!
23:23Fine.
23:24As long as you sign the divorce papers, and never show up in front of me again, I'll delete them.
23:32Elena, you're really not going to forgive me?
23:34Never.
23:35The day we finalized the divorce papers in front of Richard, Natalia showed up at the estate as well.
23:40She clung to Sebastian's arm, one hand resting on her stomach as she smiled with clear satisfaction.
23:45I'm pregnant with Sebastian's child.
23:50I couldn't help but laugh.
23:52We've been married for five years without a child.
23:55And now Natalia is pregnant so quickly.
23:59Sebastian, congratulations.
24:01What do you mean?
24:02Of course this baby is Sebastian's.
24:05Is it really?
24:06According to the Fontana family's underground intelligence network,
24:10Natalia had recently become the secret lover of the youngest son of the D'Angelo family.
24:14The child she was carrying was not Sebastian's at all.
24:17But I didn't say it out loud.
24:18After the divorce papers were finalized, Natalia frowned at me.
24:22Why are you still here?
24:23You still think you're Sebastian's wife?
24:26Get out of the estate.
24:27You don't know?
24:28This estate belongs to me.
24:30The ones who need to leave are you.
24:36Is what she said true?
24:38Elena, do you really have to take it this far?
24:41We're divorced.
24:43And you still want to live in your ex-wife's house?
24:46Sebastian, I'm ashamed of you.
24:49I had Richard send people to clear out all their belongings.
24:52Diana sat on the lawn crying uncontrollably.
24:54Robert stood nearby, shouting insults.
24:57Olivia was hysterically throwing things.
25:01Elena, please.
25:04Where are we supposed to go?
25:07We have nowhere else.
25:09No place to go?
25:11When you made me eat in the kitchen, did you ever think I had nowhere to go?
25:14When you made me give up my seat on the private jet and drive alone through Marchetti territory,
25:19did you ever worry I might not survive?
25:21When you sat on the sofa watching another woman climb into my husband's bed without saying a word,
25:26did you ever think about how I felt?
25:30I know I messed everything up, but I never meant to hurt you.
25:34I just...
25:36I just wanted everyone to be happy.
25:38Please give me another chance.
25:40Impossible.
25:43Get out of my property.
25:45You vicious woman!
25:47The biggest mistake my son ever made was marrying a cold-hearted woman like you.
25:52Robert, please remember this.
25:55The Greco family owes me.
25:57I will have my lawyers recover every single cent one by one.
26:01Robert immediately shut his mouth.
26:03Olivia was screaming hysterically.
26:05You think we can't survive without you?
26:07Just wait!
26:09Natalia will take care of us!
26:12Natalia?
26:14Six years ago, when you were at your lowest, she ran off with the money without even looking back.
26:20You think she's going to support you now?
26:22Olivia, she can barely support herself.
26:24Olivia froze.
26:26She turned to look at Natalia in the distance.
26:28Natalia was busy having a lawyer she knew.
26:31Trying to stop the eviction, the lawyer glanced at Richard standing behind me,
26:34the most feared legal advisor in New York's underground circles,
26:38then silently closed his briefcase and walked away.
26:40There's one more thing.
26:41Sebastian, the $5 million debt the Greco family took five years ago, I paid it for you.
26:46You signed a promissory note back then, agreeing to repay it within five years.
26:50It's time to settle.
26:55Sebastian's face turned pale.
26:57Back then, didn't you say that money didn't need to be repaid?
27:01I never said that.
27:02Natalia's face drained of color the moment she saw the $5 million figure.
27:06She loosened her grip on Sebastian's arm and took a step back.
27:09Just like six years ago, that night when the Greco family was being hunted down,
27:13she had done the same thing.
27:14She took everything she could carry and disappeared without a word.
27:18Not a single call.
27:19Not a single message.
27:20Until she heard the Greco family had risen again.
27:23Then she came back.
27:24She didn't love Sebastian.
27:26She loved the life behind him.
27:28The estate.
27:29The parties.
27:30The luxury brands.
27:32A life without work.
27:33It was that simple.
27:34And now, the $5 million debt stood in front of her.
27:38Natalia started backing away again.
27:41Sebastian!
27:42What is this, $5 million?
27:44Her voice had changed.
27:46You never told me about this.
27:47No longer the confident woman who had just declared victory.
27:50Sebastian!
27:52$5 million!
27:52How are you going to pay this?
27:55You only make $3,000 a month!
27:58Having regrets, Natalia?
28:00Don't worry.
28:01There's more.
28:02The estate is mine.
28:04I've taken it back.
28:06Sebastian's credit card?
28:07I've been paying it.
28:08Now I'm not.
28:10He makes $3,000 a month.
28:12That has to cover himself, his parents, his sister, and now you.
28:17And your unborn child.
28:19Natalia's hands started shaking.
28:22Congratulations, Natalia.
28:24You finally got him.
28:29Sebastian and his entire family moved into Natalia's apartment.
28:33Five people cramped into a two-bedroom unit.
28:36I instructed Richard to pursue all outstanding debts and put the estate on the market.
28:40Later, Natalia got into an argument with Olivia at home.
28:43In the struggle, she fell and suffered a miscarriage.
28:46Olivia's writing lessons were cut.
28:48No one could afford the tens of thousands of dollars in monthly expenses anymore.
28:52She was completely erased from the social circle of high society daughters she once tried so hard to belong to.
28:57Robert could no longer afford his heart treatment.
29:00All his surgeries, medication, and follow-ups had once been paid for by me.
29:04Now, with no one covering the costs, he could only wait in public hospitals for an uncertain surgery slot.
29:09Without the protection of the Fontana name, people who once treated the Greco family with respect turned harsh overnight.
29:15Sebastian was often cornered in parking lots by debt collectors.
29:18Natalia, too, grew tired of supporting an entire family of dependents.
29:22She began planning her exit and even sent members of the younger D'Angelo family to force them out.
29:27The Greco family, once feared in New York, ended up on the streets and became a complete joke.
29:32As for me, without the Greco family draining my resources, the Fontana empire finally began to function as it should.
29:38Within six months, I secured three new trade routes and expanded my influence from the East Coast to the South.
29:43In the underground world of New York, the Fontana name was spoken with even greater respect than before.
29:48Sometimes, I thought back to Sebastian.
29:51How I had wasted so many years of time and resources on someone who never deserved it.
29:55But it didn't matter.
29:57Life was long.
29:58And now, every single day belonged to me.
