03:43My mother's talking nonsense. Don't read into it.
03:46It's fine. I was used to it.
03:48I had spent six years trying and never earned one kind word from his family.
03:53Narina only had to sit at their table to be crowned their future daughter-in-law.
03:57I used to beat my fists against Leandro's chest.
04:00I hated his silence.
04:02I hated that he never stopped them.
04:04His silence had made me a joke to everyone else.
04:07Six years of loving him meant less than Narina simply being there.
04:13Don't worry, babe. I won't go.
04:15I promise I'll keep my distance from her.
04:18Go. Don't fight with your family because of me.
04:20He paused, as if he sensed the change in me.
04:23But he couldn't resist the chance I'd given him.
04:25So he finally nodded.
04:27All right. I'll bring you Lilies of the Violet.
04:29Then he went to the foyer for his coat and keys.
04:32Before leaving, he kissed my forehead.
04:34Be good, Livy. Don't overthink this.
04:36I promised you a wedding and you'll get one.
04:37He was always like this.
04:39First came the sweetness, then came the slap.
04:41Just like last time, when he gave me a wedding and abandoned me that same night.
04:46To comfort Narina because she couldn't accept losing him.
04:50Every old family in New York heard how my husband abandoned me on our wedding night.
04:55I sat alone among the untouched wedding decorations until dawn.
04:59My thoughts returned to the present.
05:01I opened my phone and booked a one-way flight to Sicily.
05:04If forcing him into marriage only led to humiliation, there was no reason to repeat it.
05:09This time, I chose to set us both free.
05:14Late that night, the heat of Leandro's chest pressed against my back.
05:19You went to sleep without waiting for me?
05:20No tantrum tonight?
05:21In my last life, I never slept before Leandro came home.
05:24I even acted like a lunatic, checking his bank statements and tracking his location.
05:28Then, I threw the proof at him and screamed until my voice broke.
05:32You said you were working late.
05:33Why were you at a restaurant with Narina?
05:34You tracked me?
05:35You lied to me!
05:36He fell silent for several seconds, then gave me another apology.
05:40Narina had been back for 68 days.
05:43Leandro had apologized to me 68 times.
05:46One cut at a time, those apologies carved through our six years together.
05:50I lost control and grabbed a knife.
05:52Leandro, why do you keep lying to me?
05:54Why do you keep pushing me?
05:56If you can't let her go, I'll die and leave the two of you together.
05:59It's my fault.
06:00Livia, cut me.
06:01Just don't hurt yourself.
06:03He dragged the blade across his own arm.
06:05We both ended up a mess in the chaos.
06:07I slid to the floor and stared at the ruined room.
06:09I remembered our past.
06:11We had watched snow together and gazed at the stars in Ireland.
06:14He held me close, his face red, and asked if I would stay by his side forever.
06:19How had everything changed so much?
06:21We were both wounded.
06:23Hatred and resentment filled the room.
06:24I clenched my hand.
06:26I'm done lashing out.
06:27Understand what?
06:29Understand what?
06:30I wanted to say I'd learn not to threaten him into marriage.
06:33I understood that a forced marriage could only destroy us both.
06:36But in the end, I only smiled.
06:38I understand that I should trust you more.
06:40Stop putting so much pressure on you.
06:43You're finally being reasonable.
06:45When I woke the next morning, the space beside me was empty.
06:48I sat up and opened the bedroom door.
06:50Then I heard a woman's coy voice.
06:52I want you to feed me.
06:55I stopped and looked up.
06:58Narina sat at the dining table.
07:00Leandro looked helpless.
07:02He lifted a forkful of scrambled eggs to her lips.
07:06Narina took a bite, frowned, and complained that it was hot.
07:10Leandro bent closer and blew on it for her.
07:18Leandro, looking after me is still second nature to you.
07:21You haven't changed at all.
07:25During our three years together, you spoiled me until I could barely care for myself.
07:28Leandro said nothing.
07:30But the corner of his mouth lifted.
07:32He took a napkin and wiped the grease from Narina's mouth.
07:35Then he turned and met my eyes.
07:36Narina followed his gaze toward me.
07:39Her eyes moved from my face to the pearl barrette in my hair.
07:43Leandro.
07:45Did you turn our old keepsake into some kind of family heirloom?
07:50I remember throwing that pearl barish into an airport trash can when I left New York.
07:55I never thought you'd dig it out and give it to Livia.
07:58It was the first gift Leandro had ever given me.
08:03That night, he had worked late in his study.
08:05I brought him tea because I was worried.
08:07When I opened the door, I found him staring blankly at the barrette.
08:10Which woman is that for?
08:13It's for you.
08:14Do you like it?
08:15I was so excited that I stayed awake all night, trying it on before the mirror.
08:19I had worn that barrette for six years and treasured it.
08:22Only today did I learn it had been someone else's trash.
08:26In my last life, I would have overturned the table and smashed every plate.
08:30I would have pointed at Narina and told her to get out.
08:33I would have grabbed Leandro's collar and demanded to know what I meant to him.
08:37But now, I watched Leandro rush to explain and shook my head.
08:42It's fine.
08:43It's fine.
08:46It's fine.
08:49It was yours.
08:50Now I'm giving it back.
08:52The barrette was hers.
08:54So was the man.
08:57Narina froze.
08:58She clearly hadn't expected me to surrender the barrette so calmly.
09:02Of course.
09:03Keeping what was never yours only makes you look pathetic.
09:08The same goes for men.
09:09You may hold the future Mrs. Ardina's place for now.
09:12I only have to beckon and he'll return.
09:14Narina.
09:17What?
09:17Am I wrong?
09:19Your family already calls me their future daughter-in-law.
09:23By the way, Livia, I'm moving this afternoon.
09:29Leandro's mother gave me the Upper East Dite townhouse.
09:32It was decorated for me.
09:33She called it our future home.
09:35Would you like to come see it, Livia?
09:37No.
09:38I have plans this afternoon.
09:46Have Leandro go with you.
09:50You're not angry?
09:53What is there to be angry about?
09:58You're the person she knows best here.
10:00Of course you should help her.
10:01Those words sounded so familiar.
10:04He had always said the same thing in my last life.
10:07Liv, I'm the only person Narina knows here.
10:09Of course I should help her.
10:10I once stepped out of the fitting room in my wedding dress.
10:13He never even looked at me.
10:15He only said Narina had a fever and needed him.
10:19That night, I received photos of them tangled together on the couch.
10:24I broke down.
10:25My vision went dark in the bathtub.
10:28And I slipped beneath the water.
10:30When I woke, I was in the emergency room again.
10:33My thoughts returned.
10:35Leandro started to speak, but Narina pulled him away.
10:39Hey.
10:41Come on.
10:42The movers will be there any minute.
10:46At last, he looked away from me and nodded.
10:49The door clicked shut.
10:52The living room fell completely silent.
10:54I returned to the bedroom and started packing.
10:57I had so little that one suitcase held everything.
11:00That was how little of me I'd forced into Leandro's life over six years.
11:04In the end, I could carry it all away in one suitcase.
11:07That evening, my phone lit up.
11:10Narina had sent me a photo.
11:13Leandro sat shirtless on the sofa.
11:16Livia!
11:17Leandro worked up a sweat helping me move all afternoon.
11:20So I let him shower here.
11:22That body is incredible.
11:24And his stamina?
11:26I've tested that myself.
11:28Her message was pure provocation.
11:30She even turned it into a game.
11:33If I ask him to stay, do you think he'll choose me?
11:36Or go home to you?
11:38In my last life, photos like that always drove me mad.
11:43I would bombard Leandro with calls and threaten suicide until he came home.
11:48This time, I calmly typed a few words and pressed send.
11:53You want him so badly?
11:55Keep him.
11:56I'm done with him.
11:58I was about to turn off the light when the door opened.
12:01Leandro walked in.
12:02I froze.
12:03Why did you come back?
12:04You're really that comfortable leaving me alone with her?
12:07You helped her move until this late.
12:09Staying over would make sense.
12:11Livia, you never acted like this before.
12:14You used to call, cry, scream, and threaten to kill yourself.
12:19Until I came home.
12:21Now you don't even ask one question?
12:22I looked up at him, confused and almost amused.
12:26Leandro, you hated me when I made scenes.
12:28Now my silence bothers you.
12:30What exactly do you want?
12:33I overreacted.
12:35Don't take it personally.
12:38Have you chosen a theme for the wedding?
12:40I found several venues.
12:42Some have the ocean view you love, and others have lawns.
12:47Want me to take you tomorrow?
12:48I wanted to tell him I truly meant to cancel the wedding.
12:51Then I remembered my last life.
12:53I handled everything myself, from the invitations to the venue.
12:56I couldn't bear to give up the feeling of having someone beside me,
12:59even if it only fulfilled the dream from my previous life.
13:02In the end, I nodded.
13:04Early the next morning, he made my favorite breakfast.
13:07An omelet, with coffee made exactly the way I liked.
13:10I sat at the table and watched him work in the kitchen in an apron.
13:13For a moment, I wished time could stop there.
13:16After breakfast, he drove me to the Ardizzone family's private beach on Long Island.
13:20The wedding planner spread the designs across the sand.
13:23She smiled and asked what kind of arch and flowers we wanted.
13:26Leandro was about to answer when his phone rang.
13:29He answered.
13:32Leandro, I'm scared.
13:33Someone rear-ended me, and the other driver keeps screaming at me.
13:37My forehead is cut.
13:39There's so much blood.
13:40Can you come help me?
13:43Leandro lost all reason.
13:45He gripped the phone and started to leave.
13:47Leandro!
13:49After all these years, you still haven't let her go, right?
13:53Livia, whatever happened between Nerilla and I ended years ago.
13:57I only care about her like family now.
14:00Leandro, I had a dream.
14:02In that dream, we married.
14:04But our plane crashed on the way to our honeymoon.
14:07Before we died, you held me.
14:09I asked whether you loved me or her.
14:12But you never answered.
14:14What about now?
14:15Can you answer me now?
14:16He stayed silent for a long time.
14:18It was only a dream.
14:20If I didn't love you, why would I give you a wedding?
14:23If you loved me, why did I have to threaten to kill myself to get this wedding?
14:27Under my relentless questions, Leandro paused.
14:30Livia, I don't have time for this.
14:32Nerina is hurt and she needs me.
14:35Stay here and finish the plans.
14:37I'll be back soon.
14:38Wait for me.
14:39He turned and left in a hurry.
14:41I watched him open the car door and start the engine.
14:43The car soon disappeared at the end of the road.
14:46I lowered my head and laughed at my own weakness.
14:49It had taken my two lives to realize he didn't love me.
14:53I'm sorry.
14:54You can stop planning.
14:56The wedding is canceled.
14:57After apologizing to the planner, I took a car home and collected my luggage.
15:02Before flying, I sent Leandro one final message.
15:06Leandro, we're over.
15:07The freedom I promised you was finally yours.
15:12The hospital corridor lights made Leandro's eyes ache.
15:15The cut on Nerina's forehead had been closed with three stitches.
15:19Leandro, I was terrified.
15:21That driver was vicious.
15:23He yelled at me and asked if I was blind.
15:25He also said, a woman like me deserved to be hit and killed.
15:30It's over.
15:32I've sent someone to handle it.
15:34Get some rest.
15:35His phone vibrated in his pocket.
15:38He pulled it out with one hand and glanced down.
15:40The message was from Livia.
15:41Leandro, we're over.
15:43He stared at the screen for several seconds, then gave a helpless smile.
15:47Here she went again.
15:48Whenever he took time to care for Nerina, Livia threatened to leave him.
15:52Nerina noticed his reaction and leaned over to check the screen.
15:55Was that Livia?
15:57This is all my fault.
16:00If I hadn't been hurt, you wouldn't have rushed here.
16:03She wouldn't be angry.
16:05Leandro, you should go home.
16:07I can manage alone.
16:09I mean it.
16:10No.
16:11That's just her temper.
16:13She'll be fine when she calms down.
16:15Stop making a scene.
16:17We'll talk when I get home.
16:18He pressed send.
16:19A red exclamation mark appeared beside the message.
16:22You have been blocked.
16:24Before he could react, another notification appeared.
16:27Flight to Sicily.
16:28Departed.
16:30Leandro stared at the flight notification, but he still did not believe I had truly left.
16:35He thought I was only taking this little game of leaving him further than usual.
16:39He refreshed the conversation.
16:41The red exclamation mark remained beside his message.
16:44He froze, found Livia's number, and called.
16:47We're sorry.
16:48The number you dialed is no longer in service.
16:52Leandro, what's wrong?
16:54I need to go home.
16:56Stay here.
16:57I'll send someone to sit with you.
16:59Where are you going?
17:01Something's wrong with Livia.
17:03I need to check on her.
17:04What could possibly be wrong?
17:07She broke up with you.
17:08Isn't that what you wanted?
17:11Since I came back, every time I needed you, you came.
17:15You left your own wedding plans for me tonight.
17:18So tell me, Leandro, who do you actually love?
17:21You're wrong.
17:22Whatever happened between us ended years ago.
17:25I've only seen you as family.
17:27The woman I love is Livia.
17:29Then why are you always choosing me?
17:31I don't believe you.
17:33Leandro, if you walk through that whore today, there will never be another chance for us.
17:39Leandro looked at her, then turned and walked out.
17:42Leandro drove fast on the way back to the Manhattan apartment.
17:45He ran two red lights.
17:46The moment he opened the door, he called my name.
17:49Livia?
17:50No answer.
17:51His heart sank.
17:52He hurried into the bedroom.
17:54The closet stood open, more than half empty.
17:56Livia's passport and driver's license were all gone from the drawer.
18:00Leandro stood completely still.
18:02For the first time, he realized she had not threatened to leave.
18:06She had actually left.
18:08He found the numbers of several of Livia's friends and called them one by one.
18:13Livia?
18:13No, she hasn't contacted me.
18:15What happened?
18:16She didn't come to me.
18:17Did you two fight again?
18:19No one knew where she had gone.
18:21Leandro slowly slid to the floor with his back against the bed.
18:24His eye message would not go through.
18:27Her number had also been disconnected.
18:29For the first time, he realized none of his power or connections could bring Livia back.
18:34He clenched his fists and struck the floor again and again.
18:38At dawn, Leandro rushed to the jewelry company where Livia worked.
18:42He had not shaved and his shirt collar was badly wrinkled.
18:45He looked like a mess.
18:47The receptionist knew him and clearly froze when she saw him.
18:50Mr. Ardazon, are you here to see Livia?
18:53Is she here?
18:54Miss Caridonna has resigned.
18:57When?
18:57Three days ago.
18:59She submitted her resignation three days ago.
19:01She finished all the paperwork that same day.
19:04She left in a hurry.
19:06Some things are still in her office.
19:08Three days ago.
19:10Leandro's ears started ringing.
19:12Three days ago, Livia had hurt herself to force him to agree to the wedding.
19:16He had given in and crouched before her to treat the cut on her arm.
19:20But she seemed like a different person.
19:22She calmly told him the wedding was cancelled.
19:25They were over.
19:26At the time, he thought she was still angry.
19:28He thought she wanted comfort.
19:30She wanted him to choose her without hesitation once more.
19:33Only now did he finally understand.
19:36She had been planning to leave since that moment.
19:39The sunlight outside was blinding when Leandro left the jewelry company.
19:43It made him dizzy.
19:44But he had nowhere else to go.
19:46He drove aimlessly.
19:47When he came to his senses, he was parked beside a long island beach.
19:51They had come here many times.
19:53Six years ago, he held Livia's hand on this beach.
19:56He stammered as he asked her to be his girlfriend.
19:59The wind was strong that day and blew her long hair into a mess.
20:03Her face was bright red.
20:04He was so happy that he picked her up and spun her around several times.
20:09They eventually fell into the shallow water together.
20:12They were soaked but could not stop laughing.
20:14Now, Leandro stood there alone.
20:18A couple nearby was taking pictures.
20:20The woman stood on tiptoe to steal her boyfriend's hat.
20:23He bent down with a smile.
20:25Leandro watched for a long time.
20:26His throat tightened.
20:28After leaving the beach, he visited the movie theater from their first date.
20:31Six years ago, he had deliberately bought tickets to a horror movie.
20:35Livia clung to his arm throughout the movie.
20:37She buried her face against his shoulder and refused to look up.
20:40After the movie, she glared at him with reddened eyes.
20:42Leandro, you did that on purpose, didn't you?
20:45I'm sorry, no more horror movies.
20:48We'll watch a cartoon next time.
20:49The theater was still there, but the sign outside had changed long ago.
20:53Leandro stood before the ticket counter and stared at the unfamiliar movie titles on the screen.
20:57He suddenly realized they had not watched a movie together in three years.
21:01He used to say there was too much work at the company.
21:03Later, he always said Narina needed him.
21:05He told Livia to wait until next time.
21:07That was how he had used up every next time between them.
21:10His phone rang, pulling him from his thoughts.
21:12It was Taddeo.
21:13Taddeo finally called him that afternoon.
21:15We confirmed she landed in Sicily.
21:17Where is she now?
21:18That's the problem.
21:20After she landed, she changed her number, stopped using her old cards, and disappeared from
21:24every record we can access.
21:26At the same time, I had already arrived in Sicily.
21:32I left my luggage at a family-run guest house by the sea.
21:35Then, I put in a new SIM card.
21:37I had planned to rest for a day before searching for a suitable studio.
21:41That afternoon, I entered an antique shop and asked about studios for rent nearby.
21:48The owner learned I once worked as a jewelry design director.
21:52He gave me an invitation to a private sale.
21:55The sale would be held at a nearby old estate.
21:58Several pieces of antique jewelry would be displayed.
22:01The sale might help me understand the local jewelry market.
22:04That evening, I followed the address on the invitation and arrived at the estate.
22:09There was no sign outside, but several expensive black cars filled the courtyard.
22:14An attendant checked my invitation, and I'd a D, before letting me through the inner door.
22:20The sale was small.
22:22Roaches, rings, and antique watches lined a long table.
22:26Each piece had a number beside it.
22:28I moved slowly along the table, and stopped before an antique necklace.
22:33Its gold setting had darkened with the edge.
22:36An old family crest was engraved on a plasm.
22:39I recognized it.
22:40It belonged to Sicily's Bolandi family, but the sapphire at its center was too new.
22:48The setting had fresh pry marks.
22:50The stone's cut did not match the setting's age.
22:54The necklace's setting was genuine, but someone had replaced its most valuable stone.
22:59Are you interested in it, Ms. Caradami?
23:01At some point, the man running the sale had stepped behind me.
23:05I did not turn around.
23:07I calmly set down the magnifying glass.
23:10I'm only looking.
23:11You've been looking for a long time.
23:13The man's gaze dropped my phone.
23:15I had already photographed the clasp, the setting, and the item's number.
23:19It isn't right for me.
23:21Then I turned toward the door.
23:24The two men guarding the door stepped inward together, and blocked the exit.
23:28I heard the door locked behind me.
23:31The man running the sale took the phone from my hand.
23:33Ma'am, you saw something you shouldn't have seen.
23:38His smile disappeared.
23:44As soon as the man finished speaking, the two guards by the door walked toward me.
23:49One of them grabbed my arm and tried to drag me into the back room.
23:52I did not struggle.
23:54I only glanced at the phone that had been taken.
23:58Taking my phone won't help.
24:00The photos have already been uploaded.
24:04Where did you upload them?
24:07Let me leave, and I'll tell you.
24:09You still don't seem to understand your situation.
24:12The man holding it tightened his grip.
24:14I understand it perfectly.
24:16You stole a jewel from the Belendi family.
24:19Now you're selling a fake as the real thing.
24:22If those photos get out, tonight's buyers won't be your only problem.
24:27The room fell silent for a moment.
24:31Take her inside.
24:36At that moment, a violent crash opened the doors.
24:40One of the guards spun around.
24:41His face instantly changed.
24:43The locked doors were kicked open from outside.
24:45A man in a black overcoat strode inside.
24:48Before anyone could react, he raised the door and fired a shot into the ceiling.
24:53Smoke curled from the barrel as he slowly lowered the gun.
24:58Elio Berlani had arrived.
25:03He was tall, with deep-set eyes.
25:07His face showed no emotion.
25:10Several men behind him quickly sealed every exit.
25:13Don Berlani.
25:20Let her go.
25:21The man holding me released me at once.
25:24This is just a misunderstanding.
25:25We didn't know this belonged to the Belendi family.
25:28Save the rest for my men.
25:30He held out his hand.
25:31The man hesitated, but still handed my phone to him.
25:35Elio held the phone out to me.
25:37You're free to go.
25:40I took the phone, but did not leave immediately.
25:43I turned toward the necklace on the long table.
25:48That necklace is still a fake.
25:51Why?
25:52The gold setting is real.
25:54The sapphire isn't.
25:55I pointed to the setting around the stone.
25:58There are fresh primarchs here.
26:01The real center stone has been replaced.
26:06Interesting.
26:06What's your name?
26:09Livy Caradona.
26:13The Caradona's from New York?
26:16That's all in the past now.
26:19If there are no more questions, may I leave?
26:26Would you like to come to the Belendi estate tomorrow at noon?
26:34I want you to examine the other jewelry we recovered.
26:38Is this a job offer?
26:40A formal commission.
26:42Then I need to see the contract and payment first.
26:47Of course, it was completely dark when I left the estate.
26:51My car was not waiting outside.
26:54Elio gestured for his driver to open the car door.
26:57I'll take you back.
26:59No.
27:00Just give me the Belendi estate's address.
27:02I can call my own car.
27:06No car service comes out here at night.
27:13Tonight isn't safe for you to travel alone either.
27:22I did not argue.
27:24I bent down and got into the car.
27:27At noon the next day, I arrived at the Belendi estate on time.
27:33Security had found the original sapphire in the safe at the old estate.
27:36I inspected the stone and read the restoration files before signing the contract.
27:42The fee Elio offered was high, but I did not change any of my requirements.
27:51During the restoration, no one may touch this necklace.
27:55Including me?
27:57Especially you.
28:03Fine. We'll do it your way.
28:05After the contract was signed, a guard entered and whispered a few words in Elio's ear.
28:11Someone was searching for my address on behalf of the Arkizzone family.
28:17Elio looked at me.
28:19Do you want him to find you?
28:24No.
28:27Okay. He won't.
28:30Okay. He won't.
28:37Meanwhile, Leandro had already arrived in Sicily on the family's private plane.
28:42He knew only that I had come here, not which old town I lived in.
28:46I had changed my number and stopped using my old cards.
28:49I left no new public records.
28:52Leandro sent men to check hotels and car rentals, but every request was refused.
28:57On the third day, Tadeo called him.
28:59Our men can't investigate any further.
29:01Why?
29:02The Belendi family has closed off every local information channel.
29:06If we keep looking, they'll see it as crossing a line.
29:09Why is the Belendi family protecting her?
29:12We don't know yet.
29:13Channels closed.
29:14Leandro had to search by himself.
29:16He went from one coastal town to the next.
29:19He asked at hotels, restaurants and jewelry shops.
29:22No one admitted seeing me.
29:24Meanwhile, I began restoring the necklace.
29:26Elio gave me a private workroom, but he never entered without permission while I worked.
29:31We spent three hours discussing the first restoration plan.
29:34After our work session, Elio asked me to dinner.
29:37I assumed it was a work dinner.
29:39In the third week, he appeared in the workroom doorway again.
29:43No contracts tonight. No jewelry either.
29:45What will we talk about?
29:47About the date I want to take you on.
29:49I just ended a six-year relationship.
29:52I can't make any promises right now.
29:55I'm only inviting you to dinner.
29:57Okay.
29:57We slowly grew closer after that.
29:59Elio never asked what happened in New York.
30:01He never urged me to forget anyone.
30:03He quietly listened to whatever I was ready to share.
30:06More than a month later, Leandro finally reached the coastal old town.
30:10We had planned to visit it in college.
30:12He walked the streets for a long time.
30:14At last, he saw me beside the street.
30:16I wore a white dress he had never seen.
30:18Leandro had not seen such a relaxed smile in years.
30:22The man bent down and kissed my forehead.
30:24I did not pull away.
30:26Instead, I took his hand.
30:28Leandro froze.
30:29It felt as if someone had crushed his heart in a fist.
30:32As if sensing his gaze, the man looked up.
30:34When Leandro saw the man's face, his breathing stopped.
30:38Elio Belandi.
30:39He had finally found me.
30:41But I stood beside a man even the Ardizzone family dared not provoke.
30:47Livia.
30:48My smile slowly faded when I heard Leandro's voice.
30:51I turned and met his gaze.
30:54Leandro had lost a great deal of weight in the past month.
30:56His cheekbones stood out and dark shadows marked his eyes.
30:59I watched him for several seconds, then looked away.
31:02Let's go.
31:03Elio and I were about to leave when Leandro hurried after us.
31:06He grabbed my wrist.
31:07His voice was painfully hoarse.
31:09Come back to New York with me.
31:11Elio stepped forward, but I shook my head before he could move.
31:14Give me a few minutes, I'll handle this myself.
31:17I'll be right here.
31:18I glanced at Leandro's hand and pulled my wrist free.
31:22Leandro, we're already over.
31:23I never agreed.
31:25I looked up at him and suddenly found it almost funny.
31:28Don't you think this is absurd?
31:30When I threatened to hurt myself to make you marry me, all I saw was exhaustion.
31:35You only wanted to escape me.
31:37Now I've given you back your freedom, yet you followed me all the way to Sicily.
31:41What do you want?
31:42Leandro opened his mouth, but no words came.
31:45Every word I said was true.
31:47When he wanted to escape, I had clung to him with all my strength.
31:51Now I had let go, but he could not accept it.
31:53A long time passed before you found his voice.
31:56I was wrong. I didn't understand before.
31:59Give me one more chance, okay?
32:01I've already given you many chances.
32:03Leandro, go back to New York. Stop ruining my life again.
32:06I turned toward Elio.
32:08Leandro reached out again to stop me.
32:10She told you to let go.
32:11Beloni.
32:12Didn't Corello tell you?
32:13In Sicily, you follow Beloni rules.
32:15If it were anyone else, he never would have backed down.
32:19But the man before him was the Belondi family's sole heir.
32:22Our Dizzone maritime holdings depended on the Belondis for European ports, insurance, and financing.
32:29Even Corrado had to soften his stance before that name.
32:32This is between Livia and me.
32:34There is nothing left between us.
32:37I'm with Elio now.
32:39That's impossible.
32:40You only left me a little over a month ago.
32:42I waited six years before I left you.
32:44Leandro, I don't owe you another day of waiting.
32:46Elio held out his hand to me.
32:48I willingly placed my hand in his palm.
32:50We walked past Leandro and never looked back.
32:54Leandro stood there and watched us disappear at the end of the street.
32:57Long afterward, he slowly crouched down, but he did not leave Sicily.
33:01The next morning, he waited a long time before I finally appeared around a street corner.
33:06Leandro approached me with a bouquet of red roses.
33:09I remember you like these.
33:11You remembered wrong.
33:13Narina likes red roses, I like white roses.
33:15Leandro's hand froze in mid-air.
33:17I walked around him and continued down the street.
33:21The next day, he brought a different gift.
33:23It was a pair of earrings I had once seen in a magazine.
33:26I had pointed to the picture and said the earrings were beautiful.
33:29Leandro had only glanced at them.
33:31He gave no answer.
33:32I never mentioned them again.
33:33Now, he had searched every jewelry shop in the old town and finally found a similar pair.
33:38He placed them in a velvet box and waited outside the studio for three hours.
33:43Livia, these are for you.
33:44I don't want them.
33:45Don't you think doing this now is ridiculous?
33:47When I was beside you, you refused to give me anything.
33:49Now that I've left, you're searching everywhere for gifts that came too late.
33:52Are you trying to make things up to me or just make yourself feel better?
33:54I only want to make you happy.
33:55If you truly want me to be happy, stay away from me.
33:58Leandro did not answer.
34:00After I left, he placed the velvet box outside the studio door.
34:04After that, he appeared every morning.
34:06That night, rain began falling over Sicily.
34:09Leandro stood outside my rented home without an umbrella.
34:12Rain ran down his hair and quickly soaked his entire coat.
34:15He kept staring up at the lighted window on the second floor.
34:18He did not know I had seen him.
34:20I stood behind the curtain and watched him remain motionless in the rain for over two hours.
34:25At last, he slowly crouched down and buried his face in his knees.
34:29He was still there when I came downstairs the next morning.
34:31His clothes were soaked and his lips were white from the cold.
34:35When he saw me, he hurried to stand but stumbled.
34:38Livia, what do I have to do for you to forgive me?
34:40The dream I once told you about was real.
34:43It wasn't a dream.
34:45It was my previous life.
34:46In my last life, I threatened to kill myself.
34:49I really did make you marry me.
34:51But on our wedding night, you left me alone in our new home to stay with Narina.
34:54I sat there alone all night, surrounded by white roses and ribbons bearing our names.
34:59The champagne remained unopened.
35:01Later, we took a private plane to St. Marissa for our honeymoon.
35:05The plane crashed.
35:07At the last moment, you traded your life for mine.
35:10I survived, but you died in the snow.
35:12Naria came to the hospital on the day I was discharged.
35:15She said I had killed you.
35:17Then she pushed me off the roof.
35:19Narissa pushed you?
35:20I've already died once.
35:22At the moment I died, I let go of many things, including you.
35:25Go back to New York.
35:27Don't come looking for me again.
35:29You repaid what you owed me in our last life.
35:31Leandro stood there, his lips trembling violently.
35:34He tried to speak, but he could not form a complete sentence.
35:37At last, he forced out one sentence.
35:40Livia, I love you.
35:42I just never realized it.
35:44But I no longer need your late realization.
35:45Or your love. Take care, Leandro.
35:48The door closed behind me.
35:50Leandro stood in the rain and slowly fell to his knees.
35:53He knelt there for a long time.
35:55People passing by stared at him curiously, but he never stood up.
36:00After Leandro returned to New York, he seemed completely hollow.
36:04He handled family business as usual.
36:06But whenever he was alone, he took out our photo and stared at it for hours.
36:11Neither of us was smiling in the photo.
36:13Narina came to see him several times.
36:14The first time, she tearfully asked why he had suddenly returned from Sicily.
36:18The second time, she brought his old favorite wine and waited all afternoon in his office.
36:23Leandro grew colder each time.
36:25The last time, she blocked his office door and grabbed his sleeve with reddened eyes.
36:29Are you still angry with me? Did Livia say something to you?
36:33Leandro looked at her. My words in the rain echoed through his mind again.
36:38Narina, don't come here again. I don't want to see you.
36:41But you once said I would always be your family.
36:45That promise made me hurt the person I should have cherished.
36:49Get out.
36:50Narina never came back after that.
36:52Two months later, a report suddenly appeared online.
36:55It detailed Narina's relationships with several married men while she lived in Monaco.
36:59The news quickly spread among New York's old families and high society.
37:03Narina claimed someone was deliberately framing her.
37:05But the more she explained, the more evidence people uncovered.
37:08The people who once adored her began distancing themselves.
37:12She locked herself inside her apartment for an entire week.
37:15When she appeared again, she crouched in the courtyard in her pajamas.
37:19She kept saying she had never ruined anyone's relationship.
37:22A neighbor called emergency services.
37:24A doctor diagnosed an acute psychotic episode and ordered immediate inpatient observation.
37:29She clutched a pillow as they took her into a secure ward.
37:32She let no one touch it.
37:34She said it was Leandro.
37:35Leandro visited her once.
37:37A nurse said she called his name daily, but could not recognize the real Leandro outside.
37:42Leandro stood there for 10 minutes before finally turning away.
37:46Around the same time, I finished restoring the Bolandi family necklace.
37:50The day before the necklace's public exhibition, Anlio came to my workshop.
37:55Tonight, I want to introduce you in two ways.
37:59What are they?
38:00As the designer who restored this necklace, and as my partner.
38:03I will only use the second title if you agree.
38:06Introduce my work first.
38:08And then?
38:09You may introduce your partner.
38:10The exhibition dinner was held at the Bolandi estate.
38:13The current head of the Bolandi family rose to greet me himself.
38:17Miss Caradonna, thank you for returning the Bolandi treasure to us intact.
38:22It was my job.
38:23Work done this well deserves respect.
38:25After the dinner, Elio showed me a storefront along the street.
38:28It stood near the sea and had a full wall of windows facing the old city.
38:32If you like it, this could become your new workshop.
38:35How much is the rent?
38:36There is no rent.
38:37I can rent it, but I can't accept a workshop as your gift.
38:41Elio did not try to persuade me.
38:43The next day, I received a lease at the standard market rate.
38:46I won my first long-term contract with my own restoration plan.
38:50My workshop finally had a real beginning.
38:53So was my new life.
38:55Never the point.
38:58I feel the way for you.
39:01I couldn't do it.
