In the thriving streets of London, a prosperous businessman, Mr. Paul Dombey, stood tall amidst his grand office of Dombey and Son. His dreams lay bundled in the hope that his infant son would carry on the legacy of their family business. His heart, however, was closed to his other child, his daughter Florence, whom he disregarded as irrelevant to his legacy.

In the heart of Florence, under the warm hues of the Tuscan sun, a young woman named Cecilia found herself lost in thought, staring at the grandeur of the Arno River from her suite's window in the Pensione Bertolini. This was no ordinary room, but a room with a view, that beholden the grandeur of the Renaissance city.
