Chapter 68 - MATTEO'S CHOICE

Matteo had built a successful technology company in Seattle.

He had never needed Elena's wealth.

He had never wanted Lorenzo's old empire.

But after spending time at the foundation, he made an unexpected decision.

He sold part of his company.

Then he donated the money to expand Elena centers throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Lorenzo stared at him.

“You don't have to do this.”

“I know.”

“Why?”

Matteo smiled.

“Because I finally understand what she was trying to build.”

Emma hugged him.

“You don't owe her anything.”

“I know.”

He looked at Elena's portrait.

“I just want to continue what she started.”

Lorenzo nodded.

Two brothers who had lost decades were now building something together.

Not an empire.

Not a dynasty.

A network of second chances.

And for the first time, Lorenzo understood that family wasn't defined by time spent together.

Sometimes it was defined by the decision to come home.
