00:02I was about to marry Vincent Voss, the younger son of the Voss family.
00:06Minutes before the ceremony, Vincent changed the wedding venue to a presidential suite.
00:14When I walked in with our guests, he was fastening a maid's lace bra.
00:19He looked at me calmly and told me he was marrying someone else.
00:23Haven is the woman I love.
00:27I was marrying you because my family wanted me to.
00:32You won't be Mrs. Voss, but I can still keep you in the Voss household.
00:37Once I become Dawn, and Haven becomes Donna, you'll take care of our heir.
00:44I was hurt and furious.
00:48Vincent didn't know why. His family had chosen me.
00:52I was the only daughter of a mafia dad.
00:56Marrying me meant inheriting my father's arms empire that supplied half the underworld.
01:01It also meant rising to the top of the mafia world.
01:03If Vincent turned his nose up at it, our engagement was as good as over.
01:07Since Mr. Voss has found the love of his life, I'm calling off our engagement.
01:16If any man here is willing to marry me, I'll exchange rings with him right now.
01:22The room fell silent.
01:24Several family elders looked at one another in disbelief.
01:26Everyone knew Don Voss had named me the Voss family's next Donna.
01:30They never imagined I'd walk away from it all.
01:32Haven was the first to break the silence.
01:35Tessa, I'm so sorry.
01:37I never meant to ruin your wedding.
01:40I just found out I was pregnant.
01:42I didn't know what to do.
01:46Vincent's the baby's father, so I came to him.
01:50I never imagined things would turn out like this.
01:53A sharp pan of pain shat through me.
01:57Vincent caught me looking at Haven's stomach and assumed I was jealous.
02:00A smug smile tugged at his lip.
02:03Once I become Don, Haven's child will be the Voss family's heir.
02:09Come on, Tessa.
02:11Don't make such a big deal out of this.
02:13Everyone here knows you were engaged to me.
02:15Who else is going to marry you?
02:19You have two choices.
02:21First, spend the rest of your life in a convent praying for God to forgive your foolishness.
02:25Or, take off that wedding dress, put on a maid's uniform, and start learning how to be a proper nanny.
02:31I think I'm being generous.
02:33I didn't say a word.
02:34Every eye in the room was on me.
02:36Just then, the sweet doors swung open.
02:39Everyone turned to look.
02:41Sarah Voss, Vincent's mother, strode into the room, marched straight up to Haven, and slapped her across the face.
02:48Have you lost your mind?
02:49Are you trying to make a fool of the Voss family?
02:52She hestered over her shoulder.
02:54Two men stepped forward.
02:56They grabbed Haven by the shoulders and forced her to her knees.
02:59Mom!
02:59Panic flashed across Vincent's face.
03:02He rushed forward.
03:03She's pregnant with my child!
03:05I know.
03:06Otherwise, she'd already be face down on the floor.
03:09She's the mother of my son.
03:11You can't hurt her!
03:14Vincent!
03:16Haven looked up at his back, tears streaming down her face.
03:19The room went dead silent.
03:22Sarah stared at her son as if she'd never known him.
03:25Vincent, do you have any idea how many mafia heirs wanted to marry Tessa?
03:29Your father and I did everything we could to make this marriage happen.
03:32And yet, on your wedding day, you fool around with a maid?
03:37Vincent glanced at me.
03:39His tone softened.
03:42Mom, I'm still marrying Teddy.
03:45I'm just worried that when she becomes Donna, she'll take it out on Haven.
03:48As long as she can get along with Haven.
03:52Tessa, swear before Christ that you never have children of your own,
03:56and that everything the Morelli family has will go to Haven's child.
04:00Vincent spoke with absolute confidence.
04:03He was certain I'd agree.
04:05The guests stared at Vincent in stunned silence.
04:08Even Sarah looked embarrassed.
04:10But after only a few seconds, she made her decision.
04:13Sarah walked over and took my hands in hers.
04:17Tessa,
04:19This is my fault.
04:21I should have raised him better.
04:22I'm so sorry for what he did to you today.
04:25She sounded sincere.
04:26Too sincere.
04:28The wedding will continue as planned.
04:29I'll make sure Vincent goes to the church and marries you.
04:32Once you become a Voss, you'll have my full support.
04:35I'll always stand by your side.
04:36You have my word.
04:38She looked at me expectantly.
04:40I slipped my hands from hers.
04:44Mrs. Voss,
04:45A Maradi does not endure humiliation.
04:48I will not marry a man who keeps a mistress.
04:51And I will never lower myself to raising another woman's child.
04:54This isn't me acting out.
04:56It's about the dignity of the Maradi name.
05:01The warmth vanished from Sarah's face.
05:04So you've made up your mind?
05:06Her voice turned cold.
05:08She threatened me.
05:10By tomorrow, everyone in our world will know the Voss family rejected you.
05:15Any man.
05:16Do you think any man will still want you?
05:19You'll end up an old maid, unwanted and alone.
05:22She expected me to falter.
05:24She thought dying an old maid was the worst curse to a mafia iris.
05:28But she couldn't have been more wrong.
05:30I was about to respond when a man's voice came from the doorway.
05:37Tessa, if I asked you to marry me right now, would you say yes?
05:44It was Sebastian Voss, Vincent's older half-brother.
05:50Nearly six foot three, Sebastian had a commanding presence,
05:54his broad frake filling a perfectly tailened black silk shirt.
05:57Two cuttons at the collar hung open,
06:00revealing a sacred heart tattoo entwined with thorny vines across his chest.
06:03A black cane rested in his hand as the butler guided him into the suite.
06:09His voice carried a barely contained excitement.
06:12You said you'd marry any man who proposed to you.
06:15Did you mean it?
06:17I looked at him.
06:18Then I smiled.
06:20I did.
06:22Sarah froze and then blurted out,
06:24Sebastian, she's your brother's fiancé.
06:27Father said I could have anything I wanted.
06:29Don Voss had always indulged Sebastian out of guilt.
06:32Vincent finally snapped out of his shock.
06:35He strode forward, irritation written all over his face.
06:38Sebastian, do you know what you're doing?
06:41He paused before he laughed bitterly.
06:43You're blind, Sebastian.
06:47On your wedding night, will Tessa have to guide you through everything?
06:52I froze for a moment.
06:54It was only then that I realized he couldn't see.
06:57I thought he didn't look at me because he was simply cold.
07:01Sebastian didn't flinch.
07:03He had clearly heard it all before.
07:05I walked over and gently took his arm.
07:09Then I turned back to Vincent.
07:11That's none of your business.
07:14Vincent, you're the blind one here.
07:17Your brother sees people more clearly than you ever could.
07:22I remembered that Sebastian Voss was supposed to be the next Don of the Voss family.
07:26During a bloody feed with a rival family, he led the charge and was shot in the eye.
07:34That's why Vincent became the heir.
07:37Sebastian lost his sight for the Voss family.
07:40Yet the very brother who took his place was now using that to mock him.
07:45I felt a surge of anger.
07:47I realized we were the same.
07:50After my father died, these people thought they could walk all over me.
07:55I lowered my head and took Sebastian's hand.
07:58I'll marry you.
08:01Sebastian and I walked out of the suite, hand in hand.
08:05Tessa, you'll regret this.
08:07One day you'll beg me to take you back.
08:09I didn't stop.
08:11Once we were in the car, I settled into the back seat beside Sebastian.
08:16You can still change your mind.
08:18I won't hold you to it.
08:19I looked at him, puzzled.
08:22Why would I?
08:23He didn't answer right away.
08:25He lowered his head, hiding the emotions in his eyes.
08:28I smiled.
08:30Then I gathered up my wedding dress and climbed onto his lap, straddling him.
08:35His body stiffened, but he didn't stop me.
08:39I cupped his face in both hands.
08:41We were so close that my breath brushed against his skin.
08:45I could hear his heartbeat.
08:47I studied him for a long moment before speaking.
08:51I can heal your eyes.
08:54Sebastian went still.
08:55I'm not just the Moretti family's only daughter.
08:58I'm also Molly.
08:59The doctor people call a miracle worker.
09:07We tried everything to get Dr. Molly to treat Mr. Sebastian, but she rarely took on patience.
09:11I lowered my eyes because Vincent told me that his wife wouldn't need to work, so I quit three years
09:16ago.
09:17Sebastian said nothing.
09:18The next second, he pulled me into his arms.
09:21His arms tightened around me, stronger than I expected.
09:24With me.
09:27You can do whatever you want.
09:33I'll give you a grand wedding, one far better than this.
09:37Seeing the disappointment on his face, I quickly added,
09:40I want our wedding day to also be the day we celebrate your recovery.
09:44It won't be long.
09:45You'll see again within a month.
09:49In another car, the atmosphere was completely different.
09:53The tension was suffocating.
09:55As soon as Vincent stepped into the car, Sarah slapped his face.
09:59You idiot.
10:00Threw away Tessa for a lowly maid.
10:02If your father knew what you did, he would be extremely disappointed.
10:07He touched his cheek and turned away, his voice still defiant.
10:11She's just a woman I rejected.
10:13And now she's with a blind man.
10:15They're no threat to me.
10:17Sarah glanced at him and then slowly looked away.
10:20You have no idea what Tessa means to this family.
10:25The hot water poured over me as I stood beneath the shower.
10:29My eyes closed.
10:30But my mind wouldn't quiet down.
10:34Vincent's cruel words kept haunting me.
10:36No matter hard, I tried to push them away.
10:39I was marrying you because my family wanted me to.
10:42You're just my mistress.
10:44You'll take care of Haven's child.
10:46I turned off the shower.
10:48As I dried off, I heard footstamps outside.
10:53Then the door opened and Sebastian walked in.
10:56He seemed unaware of me, even muttering to himself.
10:58Why is there water on the floor?
11:00Then he began unbuttoning his shirt.
11:03I froze.
11:04When his shirt came off, I saw the body he'd built through years of training.
11:09Broad shoulders, a strong chest, and a lean waist.
11:12I swallowed and tried to say something.
11:15But for some reason, I didn't.
11:17I just stood there watching until I finally spoke up.
11:20Seb, wait.
11:21Wait, I'm in here.
11:22Tessa.
11:22Sebastian froze.
11:24After a few seconds, he turned around.
11:26His ears turned red, though he did his best to remain composed.
11:31Want to join me?
11:32I suddenly wanted to tease him.
11:34So I handed him the body wash.
11:37Sure.
11:37Turn around.
11:42His hand was warm, and suddenly I could feel my own heartbeat racing.
11:47His touch was slow and careful, and I could hear his breathing grow heavier.
11:52The only sounds in the shower were the water falling and our uneven breaths as we stood close together.
11:57We both knew we had already crossed a line.
12:06A month later, the Voss family succession ceremony was held.
12:09Every influential family in the city was in attendance.
12:12The crystal chandeliers bathed the hall in brilliant light.
12:14Vincent stood at the center of the room in a tailored black double-bested suit.
12:17His cuffdinks glattered beneath the lights.
12:19Today, he looked completely in his element.
12:21Vincent, you've made a name for yourself.
12:23The Voss future is in good hands.
12:25We'll be counting on you from now on.
12:27May God bless our friendship.
12:30He loved every second of it.
12:34Tessa was never Donna material.
12:35You're the one carrying the Voss air, and now she's ended up with a blind man.
12:39Well, serves her right.
12:40You were meant to be the Voss family's dota.
12:42Haven lowered her head, trying to hide her smiles.
12:45The ceremony began.
12:46The guests gathered in the center of the hall.
12:48Don Voss appeared, leaning on his cane.
12:51His steps were slow, but the hall fell silent the moment he entered.
12:53His eyes swept across the hall before settling on a corner of the second floor.
12:58Then he spoke.
12:59Today is a historic day for the Voss family.
13:02My son will succeed me as Don, and his wife will become the next Donna.
13:06Together, they will shoulder the future of the family.
13:08Have grabbed Vincent's arm, convinced Don Voss was talking about her.
13:12Vincent was equally pleased.
13:13You missed your chance.
13:14It's too late.
13:15The next Don is...
13:18Sebastian Voss.
13:19The hall went silent for a moment before whispers broke out.
13:22His Donna will be Tessa Morelli.
13:24Haven's hand slipped from Vincent's arm.
13:26The smile frozen on Vince's face.
13:28Shock gave way to anger.
13:31Father, you know Sebastian can't see.
13:34He can't...
13:35Before he could finish, I walked down the stairs arm in arm with Sebastian.
13:39Everyone looked at us.
13:41Sebastian stopped at the center of the room
13:44and took off his sunglasses.
13:49Then he looked straight at Vincent.
13:52Sebastian could see.
13:55The moment Sebastian took off his sunglasses, Vincent froze.
13:59The color drenned from Vincent's face.
14:01Who cured him?
14:02Don Voss looked tired.
14:04It's Molly.
14:04The one who cured Sebastian was Molly.
14:06The doctor who saved my life three years ago.
14:08She cured Sebastian too.
14:10Father.
14:11He took an unsteady step forward.
14:12Why do you always give him everything?
14:15You told me I would be the Don.
14:17You said...
14:18Don Voss cut him off.
14:19Disappointment written across his face.
14:22All these years, the one I've wronged most was Sebastian.
14:25You still haven't figured it out, have you?
14:26Molly is Tessa Moretti, your former fiancé.
14:29His gaze shifted to me.
14:31She's also the only daughter of the most powerful mafia family on the West Coast.
14:35Her family's arsenal holds enough firepower to rival a nation's military.
14:40Take ya.
14:41Whoever marries her doesn't just gain a wife.
14:44He claims the throne of the mafia world.
14:46The entire hall fell silent.
14:48Vinicet stood there, frozen.
14:50That's impossible.
14:51Confusion flashed across.
14:52Why?
14:53Why didn't you tell me?
14:55You just stood there and watched me make a fool of myself?
14:59I looked at him, remembering every time I tried to tell him the truth.
15:03Every single time, he'd cut me off with the same careless words.
15:07Baby, as my fiancé, obedience matters more than ability.
15:10I gave you so many chances to see who I really was.
15:14But every time, you made it clear that all you wanted from your fiancé was obedience.
15:18I don't want to obey you anymore.
15:21And I'm done with you.
15:29Vincent had always believed he hated me.
15:31Ever since he was a child, his mother had drilled one thing into him.
15:34One day, he would marry Tessa Moretti, have an heir, and strengthen the alliance between the two families.
15:41It had never been his choice.
15:42Someone else had written the script for his life.
15:45All he had to do was follow it.
15:47But Vincent had never been good at playing the obedient son.
15:51We grew up attending the same family gatherings.
15:54He would instantly push together while everyone teased that we'd make the perfect couple someday.
15:58He would smile politely while people watched.
16:01The moment they looked away, the smile disappeared.
16:04He told himself over and over that he hated me and the life that had been chosen for him.
16:10He hated that I was part of it.
16:12Most of all, he hated the restlessness he felt every time he saw me.
16:16It had to be hatred.
16:19So he started sleeping with Haven.
16:21She was nothing more than proof.
16:23Proof that he would never stay faithful to a woman like me.
16:26Yet no matter how often Haven stood at his side, his eyes still searched the room for me.
16:32Whenever I spoke, he'd find himself listening.
16:34Whenever I laughed, he'd catch himself staring.
16:39Little by little, he realized Haven wasn't helping him forget me.
16:43She was only pulling him deeper.
16:46I stood before the mirror, unable to hide the excitement in my eyes.
16:50He watched me from the doorway.
16:52The sight made his stomach churn.
16:54Because I had no idea how he'd been fighting his feelings all these years.
16:59No idea how many nights he'd spent wrestling with them alone.
17:02The calmer I looked, the more he hated me.
17:06So he made a decision.
17:07He allowed Haven to stop taking birth control.
17:10He waited for her to become pregnant.
17:13Then he saved his final blow for our wedding day.
17:16Everything went exactly as he'd planned.
17:19He watched me learn learn about his mistress and unborn child.
17:23He watched me break down.
17:25He'd won.
17:25He waited for the relief he'd imagined would follow.
17:29But when he watched me exchange rings with Sebastian, why didn't it feel like victory at all?
17:37When we got home that evening, our convoy had barely stopped before Sebastian got out and took my hand.
17:43He led me around every obstacle with effortless ease, never hesitating once.
17:49Halfway to the door, even he stopped in surprise.
17:52I think my vision's completely back.
17:55It feels like I was never blind.
17:57I smiled.
17:59Just don't forget the medicine I prescribed.
18:02Keep taking it.
18:03Who knows?
18:05Before long, you might even be able to pick off enemies in the dark.
18:09He took my hand.
18:11His palm was warmer than usual.
18:14Tessa, what do you want?
18:16Cash?
18:16Territory?
18:17New shipping routes?
18:18If it's within my power, it's yours.
18:20I looked into his sincere eyes and smiled.
18:23Seb, I don't want anything.
18:25I'm worried Vincent won't let this go.
18:26He may betray the Vos family and try to seize power.
18:29You've only just taken over.
18:31Be careful.
18:32The smile disappeared from Sebastian's face.
18:34His eyes sharpened in an instant.
18:36Don't worry.
18:37I'll handle it.
18:38The evening breeze stirred the hem of his coat.
18:41Watching his tall figure walk ahead of me, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.
18:47Marrying Sebastian might just be the luckiest thing that had ever happened to me.
18:52After the accession ceremony, Sebastian seemed like a completely different man.
18:57Once, he'd been the family's undistuted heir.
18:59But after losing his sight, he'd avoided the family's power struggles whenever he could.
19:05Most days, he shut himself away in his apartment.
19:08Now, he was at the main house before sunrise every morning, holding meetings.
19:12He had officially taken charge of the family.
19:15He reviewed every financial report.
19:18Restructured the family's shipping routes.
19:20Personally approved new locations for the hidden weapons depots.
19:24Even the evaluates of regional captains and lower-ranking members passed through his hands.
19:28Nothing escaped his attention.
19:30Even Mr. Vos's old butler admitted in private that...
19:34Sebastian was even more ruthless than Don Vos had been in his youth.
19:37Don Vos couldn't have been more pleased.
19:39But Sebastian's transformation threw Vincent and his followers into a panic.
19:45Vincent had always believed Sebastian's blindness had ended his future.
19:49He'd assumed Sebastian would never return to the line of succession.
19:53All he had to do was wait.
19:55Sooner or later, the position of Don would be his.
19:58Instead, Sebastian become the new Don of the Vos family and married Tessa Morelli,
20:03the miracle doctor who's controlled an archinal beyond imagination.
20:06How could Vincent possibly sit back and accept that?
20:09Sure enough, trouble arrived at the family's council meeting two weeks later.
20:16When I arrived at the family council chamber,
20:19a solid oak coffin sat in the center of the room.
20:22The family's senior members stood around it in mourning.
20:25No one spoke.
20:26Only the occasional muffled sob broke the silence.
20:30Don Vos's death had been announced two days earlier.
20:33The autopsy had revealed traces of a rare poison.
20:36Its preparation required extraordinary medical expertise,
20:39a deep understanding of human anatomy,
20:41and someone close enough to the victim to slip it into his food or drink without raising suspicion.
20:48Everyone knew there was only one person in the family capable of making such a poison.
20:53Me.
20:55Vincent strode into the center of the room.
20:58Father.
20:59Tears streamed down his face.
21:02I swear I'll find the murderer.
21:04His gaze swept across the room before stopping on me.
21:09Everyone, I have something to say.
21:11Tessa, better known as Dr. Molly, was one of my father's most trusted people.
21:16She had access to his meals and his daily routine.
21:19If anyone could have slipped poison into his drink without him noticing, it was her.
21:25He paused before continuing.
21:27You all know how Tessa's father died.
21:29My father was responsible for that tragedy.
21:32She spent years waiting for revenge.
21:35One by one, suspicious eyes turned toward me.
21:38Before I could say a word, Sarah walked in through the side entrance.
21:42I can prove Tessa murdered Luca.
21:46A servant stepped forward carrying a small glass vassal on a silver tray.
21:51Brown powder still clung to the inside.
21:54Laboratory tests had confirmed it was the same poison.
22:01This time, there's no escaping it.
22:05I never imagined our Donna would turn out to be a murderer.
22:08The evidence is clear.
22:10She killed Mr. Voss.
22:11She should be executed immediately.
22:13No one is above the family's laws.
22:16As the new Don, you can't let your feelings cloud your judgment.
22:19Every accusation added to the invisible weight pressing down on Sebastian.
22:23Standing at the head of the room, his hands clasped tightly.
22:26His face remained unreadable.
22:28Enough.
22:29His voice cut through the chamber with undeniable authority.
22:32The room fell silent.
22:33I don't believe the evidence is enough to accuse Tessa of murdering my father.
22:38I'm not going to condemn my Donna over a bottle that appeared out of nowhere.
22:43The room erupted again.
22:46Some accused him of letting a woman blind him to the truth.
22:49Others claimed he'd never cared about Luca anyway.
22:52That years of being neglected had made him unwilling to seek justice for his own father.
22:56Away from the arguing crowd, Vincent and Sarah exchanged satisfied smiles.
23:01They were almost there.
23:03If Sebastian continued defending me without proof,
23:05they could rally Luca's old supporters and force him from power.
23:08The family only needed one final push.
23:11Then I smiled.
23:13Meeting Vincent's triumphant gaze,
23:15I turned towards the black coffin in the center of the room.
23:19Mr. Voss, you can come out now.
23:25The room fell silent.
23:28Everyone stared at me as though I'd lost my mind.
23:32Then before their eyes,
23:34the lid of the coffin slowly opened from the inside.
23:44Luca Voss sat up,
23:45looking as though he'd just woken from an afternoon nap.
23:49His eyes swept across the room before settling on Vincent.
23:53It was the most terrified expression I'd ever seen on Vincent's face.
23:57Beside him,
23:58Sarah's hand shook so badly
23:59that the veil slipped from her fingers and shattered on the floor.
24:08I helped Luca to his feet.
24:13He smiled as he looked at Vincent and Sarah.
24:16Disappointed?
24:19You should have given me a little more poison last night.
24:22Sarah's legs nearly gave out beneath her.
24:24She stumbled backward and barely caught herself on the back of a chair.
24:27Vincent's lips turned ghostly white.
24:30He opened his mouth, but no words came.
24:34Now everyone knew something was wrong.
24:37Only moments ago,
24:38Vincent and Sarah had been demanding justice for Luca,
24:40yet the moment they saw him alive,
24:42they looked as though they'd seen a ghost.
24:43Whispers spread through the chamber.
24:45Was Vincent the one who poisoned Evan, Mr. Voss?
24:48It has to be,
24:48and we nearly condemned our Donna with fabricated us.
24:51Why else would Mr. Voss accuse his own son?
24:55With a heavy thun,
24:57knees,
24:58Vincent dropped to his knees.
25:02He looked up,
25:03his eyes red.
25:05Father,
25:06you've got it all wrong.
25:08Luca said nothing.
25:09He simply looked down at Vincent
25:11with icy, unevering eyes.
25:14I didn't poison you.
25:16I wouldn't even know how to get something that deadly.
25:19The words tumbled out of Vincent in a rush.
25:23He was desperate to clear his name
25:25before anyone had time to put the pieces together.
25:28If you don't believe me,
25:28check my records,
25:29my purchases,
25:30my transactions,
25:31everything.
25:32You won't find anything.
25:34I never bought any poison.
25:37Sarah hurried to speak.
25:39Luca,
25:40I didn't do it either.
25:42Someone's trying to frame us.
25:45I'm sure someone's been poisoning you
25:47against us.
25:49But you know,
25:50Vincent,
25:50he's devoted everything to this family.
25:53He spends every day negotiating deals
25:55worth hundreds of millions.
25:56He'd never do anything
25:57that would disgrace the Voss family.
25:59Some of the family members
26:00began to hesitate.
26:02After all,
26:02they'd watched Vincent grow up.
26:04For years,
26:05they'd believed he was
26:06the future Don.
26:08Now he'd lost both the position
26:09and the woman he was supposed to marry.
26:13Deep down,
26:14more than a few of them felt.
26:18Luca had never treated
26:19his two sons equally.
26:21Voices began speaking up.
26:22There isn't any direct evidence
26:24that Vincent planned this.
26:26Perhaps we should investigate further.
26:27He's still Mr. Voss' son,
26:30Don Simastro.
26:30Perhaps you could show him some mercy.
26:32Then Sebastian spoke.
26:34His voice was ice cold.
26:35Funny.
26:36A few minutes ago,
26:37Vincent had stood here
26:38slandering my Donna
26:39and blaming her for everything.
26:41Yet not one of you
26:42stood up for her.
26:45Some of the family members
26:46began to hesitate.
26:48After all,
26:48they'd watched Vincent grow up.
26:50For years,
26:51they'd believed he was
26:52the future Don.
26:54Now he'd lost both the position
26:56and the woman he was supposed to marry.
26:59Deep down,
27:00more than a few of them felt.
27:04Luca had never treated
27:05his two sons equally.
27:07Voices began speaking up.
27:09There isn't any direct evidence
27:10that Vincent planned this.
27:12Perhaps we should investigate further.
27:14He's still Mr. Voss' son,
27:16Don Simastro.
27:17Perhaps you could show him some mercy.
27:19Then Sebastian spoke.
27:20His voice was ice cold.
27:22Funny.
27:22A few minutes ago,
27:23Vincent had stood here
27:24slandering my Donna
27:25and blaming her for everything.
27:27Yet not one of you
27:28stood up for her.
27:31The room fell silent.
27:34Defacing the family's Donna
27:35is already enough
27:36to find Vincent guilty.
27:38Sebastian, I'm innocent!
27:41You can't convict me without proof!
27:45Do you really want me
27:46to tell everyone
27:47you stole the poison from me?
27:49Opens 3 whipped around
27:50to stare at me.
27:52You're lying!
27:53You were careful enough
27:54not to leave a purchase record.
27:56But you did touch that bottle.
27:58I kept that bottle locked away.
28:04Only you and I knew the code.
28:06I raised my eyes to meet his.
28:08If you still insist you're innocent,
28:10we can test the bottle.
28:11I'm sure we'll find your fingerprints.
28:14Right alongside mine.
28:17Vincent had no answer.
28:19He remained kneeling on the floor,
28:21his head hanging low,
28:22like a man who already knew he'd lost.
28:25You thought the poison labeled
28:26No Antidote would kill Mr. Voss
28:28before anyone could expose you.
28:30What you didn't know
28:31was that I'd already developed
28:32a cure years ago.
28:34The moment Mr. Voss drank it,
28:35I knew something was wrong.
28:37I cured him that same night.
28:40Your scheme was doomed
28:41the moment you stole that bottle.
28:44Luca had already shown me
28:46everything that happened
28:47the day my father died.
28:48That day,
28:49everyone should have escaped safely.
28:51Instead,
28:51a stray bullet came flying in
28:52from the west.
28:53My father pushed Luca out of the way
28:55and took the bullet himself.
28:57With his dying breath,
28:58he told Luca he had no regrets.
28:59He had only one request.
29:01Take care of his only daughter.
29:04Luca had given him his word.
29:06From the very beginning,
29:08he'd intended for me
29:08to marry Sebastian.
29:11Only after Sebastian lost his sight
29:13and fell out of the running
29:14to become heir
29:14had the engagement
29:15been transferred to Vincent.
29:17None of them had expected fate
29:19to come full circle.
29:21In the end,
29:22I married Sebastian after all.
29:26Luca was silent for a long time.
29:28Vincent,
29:29from this day forward,
29:30you are no longer my son.
29:32Without waiting for Vincent's response,
29:34he turned to Sarah.
29:35Our marriage ends today.
29:38Sarah let out a piercing scream.
29:40Her knees buckled
29:41and she would have collapsed
29:42if a servant hadn't caught her.
29:44At last,
29:44Luca looked at Sebastian and me.
29:46Relief and pride
29:47softened his expression.
29:48Sebastian,
29:49Vincent,
29:50Vincent's punishment
29:50is yours to decide.
29:52Sebastian slowly swept
29:53his gaze across the room.
29:54Then,
29:55he spoke.
29:57She walked toward Vincent,
29:58her eyes never leaving him.
30:01Did you mean that?
30:02Vincent met her gaze
30:03without hesitation.
30:05Every word.
30:06The blood drained
30:07from Haven's face.
30:10This is all your fault.
30:12If it weren't for you,
30:13Tieza would still love me.
30:15You and that bastard child
30:16should both disappear.
30:17Silence swallowed the room.
30:19Haven lowered her head.
30:20She didn't speak
30:21for a long time.
30:22Then,
30:22in one swift motion,
30:24she snatched the gun
30:25from Vincent's waist.
30:26She pointed it straight at him.
30:27Tears streamed down her face,
30:29but her expression was calm.
30:31You came after me.
30:32I never seduced you.
30:34I gave up everything for you.
30:36And now you think
30:37you can throw me away?
30:39She shook her head.
30:40No.
30:41If I'm going to hell,
30:42you're coming with me.
30:44Before anyone could stop her,
30:46a gunshot rang out.
30:49Then another.
30:51When the echoes faded,
30:52Vincent and Haven
30:53lay motionless on the floor.
30:55Blood spread beneath them.
30:57Even in death,
30:58they remained tangled together,
31:00just like the lives
31:01they'd ruined.
31:02I didn't close my eyes.
31:03I couldn't tell whether
31:04it was sadness
31:05or simply relief.
31:06Sara stood frozen
31:07in the corner,
31:08staring at them.
31:09Tears streamed endlessly
31:10down her face.
31:12She no longer looked sane.
31:13Then she started laughing
31:15through her sobs.
31:16The sound sent chills
31:17through the room.
31:18The next second,
31:19someone wrapped both arms
31:21tightly around me.
31:22I was pulled into
31:23a warm embrace.
31:24The chaos around us
31:25faded into the distance.
31:27Sebastian lowered his head
31:28and whispered in my ear.
31:29I'm so glad I found you.
31:31Everything else faded away.
31:33All I could hear
31:33was his voice.
31:34In that moment,
31:35I realized marrying Sebastian
31:37was the happiest thing
31:38that had ever happened to me.
31:39After everything was over,
31:41peace finally returned
31:43to the Voss family.
31:44One day,
31:45I happened to run my hand
31:46over the top
31:47of Sebastian's cane
31:48and felt a tiny
31:49hidden compartment.
31:52Inside was a miniature photograph,
31:54its edges yellowed with age.
31:56I unfolded it and froze.
31:58It was a picture of me at 16,
32:01standing in the gardens
32:03of the Voss estate.
32:04But I remembered
32:05it had been a group photo.
32:07Vanessa had been standing
32:08beside me.
32:09Sebastian had carefully
32:10cut him out.
32:11Memories began flooding back.
32:13Whenever Sebastian
32:14spotted me in the hallway,
32:16he'd always quicken his pace
32:18and leave without a word.
32:20Back then,
32:20I'd assumed he simply
32:21didn't like me.
32:23Clutching the photo,
32:24I turned to find him
32:25and walked straight
32:26into his arms.
32:32Sebastian caught me
32:34effortlessly.
32:35Looking down,
32:36he smiled and gently
32:37rubbed my oarhead
32:38with his thumb.
32:39So,
32:40you finally found it.
32:41The tenderness in his voice
32:43made my heart skip.
32:44I held up the photograph.
32:46His smile didn't fade,
32:48but his voice grew lower.
32:49The day I was injured,
32:51I didn't just lose sight.
32:52I lost you too.
32:54After my accident,
32:55our engagement
32:56was transferred to Vincent.
32:57No one ever asked
32:58whether I wanted that.
33:00He spoke so calmly.
33:02It hurt all the more.
33:04I had nothing left.
33:05Not my health,
33:07not my abilities,
33:08not my place in the family.
33:11In every way that mattered,
33:13Vincent was the better choice.
33:15I couldn't bear to let you see me
33:17at my lowest.
33:18He paused.
33:19So, whenever I saw you,
33:20I ran.
33:21My fingers tightened
33:22around the photograph.
33:24The more he spoke,
33:25the more my heart ached for him.
33:28I thought I'd be satisfied
33:29watching you
33:30live a happy life
33:31from a distance.
33:33But Vincent didn't deserve you.
33:35His voice dropped.
33:38So, even if it meant
33:39reopening every wound
33:40I tried to bury,
33:41I had to stand beside you.
33:43I couldn't watch you
33:44face that humiliation alone.
33:46I'd rather lose everything
33:48than let you have
33:48nowhere to turn.
33:49When he finished speaking,
33:52he gently took the photograph
33:53from my hand
33:54and tucked it back
33:55into the hidden compartment
33:56in his cane
33:57and his eyes lay over him.
33:59His voice was barely
34:00without a whisper.
34:01I'm just glad you found it
34:02before it was too late.
34:05Resting against his chest,
34:07I suddenly thought
34:08of the vast arse
34:09my father had left me.
34:11Once, I believed
34:12it was an inheritance,
34:13a safeguard.
34:15Only later did I realize
34:16it was a test
34:17of people's true hearts.
34:20To someone like Vincent,
34:22it was power,
34:23a prize worth betraying
34:25anyone to possess.
34:26But to Sebastian,
34:28none of it
34:28had ever mattered.
34:30After everything
34:31we'd been through,
34:32I'd finally found someone
34:33who loved me.
34:35Not for what I had,
34:37but for who I was.
