Short filmTranscript
00:00:04Ten years of my marriage, my husband has been building a whole family here with my stepsister, and I only
00:00:12found out today.
00:00:35Marcus, Serena, how could you do this to me?
00:00:40Well, there you have it. You happy now?
00:00:43Happy? You've been betraying me for ten years behind my back?
00:00:46Oh, don't act all surprised. If you hadn't thrown yourself at me back then, Serena and I would have never
00:00:51had to hide.
00:00:52I've thrown myself? You're the one that begged me, you begged me to marry you.
00:00:58Sis, still so naive? You really thought that was all real?
00:01:02Marcus, maybe it's finally time we told her. Like that car accident with Mom and Dad. Yeah, we set that
00:01:09up.
00:01:11Dad! Dad! Mom! Mom!
00:01:15And all those times you got sick, my little gift to you.
00:01:18Mom, why would you do this to me?
00:01:29For years, your family stepped on Serena.
00:01:34You treated her like nothing. A bastard.
00:01:40You think I could really just... let that go?
00:01:49Marcus, no!
00:01:50Oh, relax. You'll be with your parents soon enough.
00:02:01No. Not like this. Not without me taking you both down.
00:02:07No!
00:02:08No!
00:02:10No!
00:02:18No!
00:02:20No!
00:02:31In this life, I loved the wrong man, trusted my vicious sister, and let the Ashbirds fall because of me.
00:02:38If I ever get another chance, I'd make them pay for everything.
00:02:49Athena!
00:02:51Athena!
00:02:53Athena!
00:02:55Athena.
00:03:01Athena, come on, honey. It's time to pick your fiancée.
00:03:06I'm back.
00:03:08Back all day, decided everything.
00:03:14Athena.
00:03:15Athena, come on, honey. It's time to pick your fiancée.
00:03:24I'm back.
00:03:25Back on the day, decided everything.
00:03:30Come on, darling.
00:03:40Whoever Athena chooses today, he will get everything you see here.
00:03:46Mr. Ashford, word is that Miss Ashford had a thing for Marcus Contini for years.
00:03:50Is this alliance completely personal?
00:03:53Marcus, come on. The guy's a nobody from the street. What does Miss Ashford even see in him?
00:03:59This could tank the Ashfords big time.
00:04:02My daughter's happiness comes first. There's no deal bigger than that.
00:04:06Baby, just choose whoever makes you happy.
00:04:10The husband's selection banquet begins now.
00:04:28Marcus, Serena, this time, it's your turn to go to hell.
00:04:40Marcus's uncle, New York's Mafia King.
00:04:45Alliance is complete.
00:04:49I choose him, Alessandro Contini.
00:04:54Marcus's uncle, New York's Mafia King.
00:05:01You know you can't be serious, right?
00:05:03I'm serious. I've chosen. I choose Alessandro.
00:05:06I have made my choice.
00:05:08I will sign the agreement transfer papers with his name, and you'll meet him at the engagement gala.
00:05:13In three days.
00:05:14Three days.
00:05:20Miss Ashford, why keep the name secret? Are you afraid of Marcus's reactions, or are you worried that it will
00:05:25backfire on your family?
00:05:29Alessandro? Sweetheart, you always used to call him Uncle Alex. People are going to talk.
00:05:35Athena!
00:05:41Athena, you chose me, right?
00:05:43Let's get one thing straight.
00:05:45I only love Serena.
00:05:52Athena!
00:06:03So now you're trying to buy yourself a husband? Athena, doesn't that seem a little desperate?
00:06:10Athena, I didn't mean to steal him, I just...
00:06:14Marcus and I...
00:06:16We're in love.
00:06:20If you're angry...
00:06:24Hit me, okay, but don't blame Marcus.
00:06:28Athena, when are you gonna stop bullying Serena, huh?
00:06:34Me bullying you? Did I?
00:06:37Athena, I...
00:06:39I didn't mean to...
00:06:45Hey...
00:06:46Athena, you hit her?
00:06:47That was bullying.
00:06:49Now you've seen it.
00:06:51Athena, you apologize right now, or you can forget about me ever marrying you. Do you hear me?
00:06:56Do you really think I'd still marry you after you show up here with my stepsister?
00:07:01What the hell is wrong with you? I was doing you a favor.
00:07:04A favor?
00:07:04Do you remember?
00:07:05Her mother...
00:07:06Relowed to my father to have her.
00:07:09And now the bastard shows up crashing my party and I have to apologize?
00:07:12You're insane.
00:07:14Security, get them out of here.
00:07:15A bastard seducing her sisters, ma'am.
00:07:18Pathetic.
00:07:20Athena, you apologize right now for your precious Ashford name holding shit in this city.
00:07:28All you are is the Contini family lapdog.
00:07:30Since when do you call shots for the Ashfords?
00:07:33This is all my fault.
00:07:35I ruined your big day and...
00:07:37Now you don't even have a fiancé to choose.
00:07:40Save the tears. I've already chosen my fiancé.
00:07:44And I'm not changing my mind.
00:07:46Fine. I'll marry you if that's what you want.
00:07:49But leave Serena out of this.
00:07:52Come on. Let's go.
00:07:55You really think you can take it all?
00:07:58My family's shares, estates, the legacy you've been eyeing?
00:08:02Three days at the engagement gala.
00:08:04You'll see what's left.
00:08:10Athena, you were always about Marcus.
00:08:14What happened? Why the change?
00:08:16Serena, you always looked out for her.
00:08:19Mom, I was a fool before.
00:08:24Marcus and Serena tried to kill me.
00:08:27They're gonna come for all of us.
00:08:29What?
00:08:30I can't explain everything right now, but trust me, Alessandro is the right choice.
00:08:34No, no, honey. We trust you.
00:08:37It's just, Alessandro is a Contini.
00:08:39He might take Marcus' side.
00:08:41No. He's not like that.
00:08:43He won't.
00:08:46In my past life, after my parents died in a car accident, I was left with nothing.
00:08:53I had no choice but to beg Marcus for money to bury them.
00:08:59Where's Marcus? He promised me money for my parents' ashes.
00:09:03Homeless trash.
00:09:05Hey, look.
00:09:30Marcus.
00:09:32I've been looking for you for three days.
00:09:35Why have you been avoiding me?
00:09:37Mom.
00:09:38Dad.
00:09:40I'm so sorry I couldn't give you the peace that you deserve.
00:09:46Hey.
00:09:57Athena, with something this important, you should have come to me first.
00:10:01Come on.
00:10:02I...
00:10:06Here.
00:10:09I've got you.
00:10:13Every time I was about a break, Uncle Alex was always there.
00:10:19I was just too blind before.
00:10:32We will be happy.
00:10:51Oh!
00:10:58Mr. Contini asked us to pick the one that makes his princess shine.
00:11:08Athena?
00:11:10What are you doing here?
00:11:15Trying on dresses already?
00:11:20Aw.
00:11:22It's...
00:11:22Simple.
00:11:23You look like you're attending a wake.
00:11:26This isn't your fitting.
00:11:27Your opinion isn't needed.
00:11:29I was just trying to help you out, sis.
00:11:35Whoop!
00:11:38Whoop!
00:11:45Hey!
00:11:46Hey, are you okay?
00:11:47Oh, oh!
00:11:48Miss Ashford!
00:11:49Put your shoulder!
00:11:50Hold on, I'm gonna get...
00:11:54Are you okay?
00:11:57What the hell did you do this time?
00:11:59Marcus, it was an accident.
00:12:01I...
00:12:01I tripped.
00:12:06Apologize to her?
00:12:07Right now.
00:12:08Marcus, you seriously didn't see that idiot throw herself at me?
00:12:16Are you insane?
00:12:18Let me go!
00:12:19Oh no, cut the victim crap!
00:12:20I know you're vicious!
00:12:22This is just another play to pull me back!
00:12:25A play to get you back?
00:12:27Marcus, you're not worth that trouble.
00:12:30Oh, I can't massage for a person, it's cold.
00:12:33Oh, I'm gonna call an ambulance.
00:12:34Oh my god, the dress!
00:12:36Mr. Cantini's gonna kill me!
00:12:38No need for an ambulance.
00:12:40I'll handle Mr. Cantini, you're good.
00:12:43Suspending that bullshit?
00:12:45Really? I sent you here to get dresses?
00:12:47Athena, you're ridiculous.
00:12:50I am Mr. Cantini.
00:12:51Relax.
00:12:52Nothing's happening.
00:12:54Athena?
00:12:56Apologize to Serena?
00:12:57Right now, I will not attend your engagement gala tomorrow.
00:13:02Since you're so sure it's your name on the invitation.
00:13:08Be there tomorrow.
00:13:09Don't be late.
00:13:16Marcus, did you see that look on her face?
00:13:19That wasn't...
00:13:20Anger.
00:13:22You said that marrying her was the only way to get the Ashford money.
00:13:26Are you sure that she's still picking you?
00:13:29She's picking me, obviously.
00:13:32You know, fine.
00:13:33Let's check the damn invitation.
00:13:50The Cantini and Ashford alliance.
00:13:53Who else could it be?
00:13:55You know, let's get you something stunning.
00:13:57I want you to steal the show tomorrow.
00:13:59I don't know.
00:14:14Athena.
00:14:17Uncle Alex, why are you here?
00:14:20Let me see it.
00:14:21It's okay.
00:14:22I can handle it myself.
00:14:25I can handle it myself.
00:14:35Stop moving.
00:14:38Stay still, alright?
00:14:44What?
00:14:45What are you?
00:14:49Alex.
00:14:52Easier to treat the world.
00:14:55Alex.
00:15:09Thanks.
00:15:12Does that hurt too much?
00:15:14A little.
00:15:15It's okay.
00:15:17Try and bear it just a little longer.
00:15:20All right.
00:15:21It's deeper than it looks.
00:15:23But it shouldn't scar.
00:15:31I'm sorry.
00:15:37It's okay.
00:15:41I'm sorry.
00:15:43You should be here.
00:15:43It's fine.
00:15:44It's fine.
00:15:45It's fine.
00:15:48You should be here.
00:15:48It's fine.
00:15:49All set.
00:15:51All right.
00:15:54Wait.
00:15:56Why did you decide to suddenly show up?
00:15:59Um, my staff called and said somebody hurt you.
00:16:03And ruined the dress that I chose for you.
00:16:07So I came to see for myself.
00:16:09Uncle Alex, I...
00:16:13Uncle. Still.
00:16:16I believe that's a bit inappropriate now, isn't it?
00:16:20I just, I mean, um...
00:16:23I...
00:16:25Tomorrow morning I'll have someone deliver a new dress.
00:16:28It'll be custom, so no pressure on the wound.
00:16:36And tomorrow night...
00:16:39I'll see you at the gala.
00:16:41My fiancé.
00:16:50We need a table for you!
00:17:01Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Ashton Contini Engagement Banquet.
00:17:24What a great party!
00:17:26How can you possibly start without the man of the hour?
00:17:34Last chance, Athena.
00:17:35Get your ass over here and beg Serena for forgiveness.
00:17:39You do it right, and maybe...
00:17:42Just maybe.
00:17:43I'll let a bitch like you stay.
00:17:48Marcus, you really don't get it, do you?
00:17:51Look at you, barking like a rabid dog at my party.
00:17:54This is my engagement banquet.
00:17:57And my fiancé...
00:18:02Is not you.
00:18:06And my fiancé...
00:18:08Is not you.
00:18:11Athena.
00:18:12Everyone here knows you're crazy for Marcus.
00:18:15It's okay to admit that you can't live without him.
00:18:19Not me?
00:18:20Then...
00:18:21Then...
00:18:21Who?
00:18:22Huh?
00:18:23I mean...
00:18:24Everyone here knows you were all over me.
00:18:27The great Ashford heiress throwing herself in Marcus.
00:18:43Look, everyone.
00:18:44This is how Athena chased me over ten years.
00:19:01You are my poison.
00:19:04My everything.
00:19:06Without you, I'm dead inside.
00:19:10Oh my God, you are so freaking pathetic.
00:19:14Ask anyone here who doesn't know you were crazy for me, and now you're acting all pure?
00:19:19Aren't you tired of this crap, Athena?
00:19:22Marcus, give her a break.
00:19:24She just loved you so much that she lost herself.
00:19:30These letters.
00:19:32Those diaries.
00:19:34The Ashford's are done.
00:19:35What a mess.
00:19:37Heiress chasing a street rat.
00:19:40So embarrassing.
00:19:42Yes.
00:19:44This was me.
00:19:45Stupid.
00:19:47Humble.
00:19:48Pitiful.
00:19:50A total joke.
00:20:00So you really think, after all that crap, I would still want the past?
00:20:05I would still want you?
00:20:07Cut the crap, Athena.
00:20:09You are a joke.
00:20:10Just admit it.
00:20:11You can't live without me.
00:20:13Say it, and maybe I'll let you go easy.
00:20:31Get your fucking hands off my wife.
00:20:36Get your fucking hands off my wife.
00:20:45Fuck!
00:20:47Fuck!
00:20:48Fuck!
00:20:49Motherfucker!
00:21:04Motherfucker!
00:21:07Uncle, what the hell are you doing here?
00:21:12Don't touch her.
00:21:20Let's get one thing straight. Athena's my wife now.
00:21:23Which makes her your aunt and sole lady of the Contini family.
00:21:28Touch her again, I'll break your fucking leg.
00:21:37What? Miss Ashford's fiance is Marcus's uncle Alessandro?
00:21:40I heard he's the real power behind the Contini family, the mafia king.
00:21:45No way he would waste his time on Ashford's little drama, this is bullshit.
00:21:49What the hell are you doing here? This is my engagement day with Athena.
00:21:52Are you okay?
00:21:54I'm sorry, I made a complete fool out of myself in front of you.
00:21:59No, I'm the one who showed up late. You have nothing to apologize for.
00:22:05Athena, how long are you gonna keep this up?
00:22:07Pulling elaborate schemes like this just to get under my skin?
00:22:10That's low even from you.
00:22:14Marcus, have you forgotten that I'm your uncle?
00:22:17Mr. Contini, please excuse my sister, she's just being impulsive.
00:22:20Shut the fuck up!
00:22:22You have no right to speak here.
00:22:25Besides, who comes to an engagement gala, not even knowing whose name is on the invitation?
00:22:32Who else could Athena possibly marry?
00:22:54You! You! What did you give my uncle to help him live for you, huh?
00:22:58This joke has gone on long enough!
00:23:00Marcus, let go. Don't embarrass yourself any further.
00:23:03Embarrass myself?
00:23:05You're the one who's been chasing after me for years like a desperate little bitch.
00:23:08I'll say it one more time. Let's go!
00:23:14Oh, keep pretending, Athena.
00:23:16Does my uncle know that you waited for me all night, Ma?
00:23:20Does he know about the notes in your phone where you keep track of all of my favorite things?
00:23:24Marcus, the only person here who's pathetic is you.
00:23:29Say whatever you want. I don't want you anymore.
00:23:33Athena, even if you stripped naked and climbed into my uncle's bed, he wouldn't give you a second glance.
00:23:46You dare hit me?
00:23:48As lady of the Contini family, I have every right to discipline anybody that disrespects this household.
00:23:55Athena, I know you're angry, but you can't just switch fiancés now.
00:24:00You already signed that $800 million transfer agreement with Marcus's name on it.
00:24:06You can't ruin the Ashford family reputation like this.
00:24:09That's right. Everyone was there when she chose her fiancé.
00:24:13Athena Ashford really messed up this time.
00:24:17Exactly. You begged me to take it. No take-backs now.
00:24:22You really went to great lengths to remember all that.
00:24:26But who told you your name was on the agreement?
00:24:32But who told you your name was on the agreement?
00:24:35Oh, come on, Athena.
00:24:36You're still making up stories to protect your pathetic pride?
00:24:39Just because you say it's not me doesn't make it true.
00:24:43Find it. Open it.
00:24:45And show everybody here.
00:24:48Marcus, don't force her anymore.
00:24:52Athena, open that transfer agreement and show everyone how much you love me.
00:24:59Okay.
00:25:00But if your name isn't on the agreement...
00:25:03Marcus, I remember the Contini code.
00:25:06Disrespect the family. Pay in flesh.
00:25:09Cut off two fingers.
00:25:11And apologize to me.
00:25:15And you, Serena.
00:25:17Give away your rights to your inheritance, to the Ashfords.
00:25:21And sever all ties with us.
00:25:23Do you dare to make that bet?
00:25:28Do you dare to take that bet?
00:25:30What exactly is Miss Ashford trying to pull here?
00:25:33Obviously, she teamed up with the Mafia King to wreck the engagement gala, hoping Marcus would give in for love.
00:25:40Fine. But don't say I didn't give you a second chance to get out of this.
00:25:45I accept!
00:25:47Athena.
00:25:48Don't push this too far that you can't come back.
00:25:52Serena.
00:25:53You agree too, but what is there to be afraid of?
00:25:57Facts speak louder than words.
00:26:00Alright then, Athena.
00:26:02If you insist, I can't stop you.
00:26:07Hey.
00:26:08You know I have ways of making them quiet for good.
00:26:12You don't have to do this.
00:26:14Don't worry.
00:26:16Bring the agreement.
00:26:23Final confirmation.
00:26:25The wager stands.
00:26:27Open it.
00:26:39What's this right?
00:26:41How could this be?
00:26:45Fingers, little nephew.
00:26:50Fingers, little nephew.
00:26:56Athena.
00:26:57Athena, please.
00:26:58I will do whatever it takes.
00:26:59Please don't make me leave the Ashford family.
00:27:02This is your moment to prove your sincerity.
00:27:16No.
00:27:17She clearly chose me in the last light.
00:27:19This is right.
00:27:26Serena, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:27:28I...
00:27:29Marcus.
00:27:29I'm sorry.
00:27:30I don't want to leave the Ashford family and I can't afford to upset the lady of the Contini family
00:27:34anymore.
00:27:37Athena, please.
00:27:38I'll do anything, okay?
00:27:40Anything else you need.
00:27:41As long as I don't leave the Ashford family, I will do anything.
00:27:45Sweetena, don't beg.
00:27:47Up.
00:27:49Are you satisfied now, dragging Serena into this?
00:27:53Now this is your plan all along, wasn't it?
00:27:55You slept with my uncle behind my back.
00:28:12I told you.
00:28:14Touch her again, I'll break your fucking leg.
00:28:18Touch her again, I'll break your fucking leg.
00:28:21The young Master Contini really lost all his dignity tonight.
00:28:25What young Master Contini?
00:28:26Didn't you hear that?
00:28:28Little nephew.
00:28:29That's hilarious.
00:28:31And Serena's a bastard, right?
00:28:33I don't know what Marcus ever saw in her.
00:28:36Athena, how did you get in my uncle's bed, huh?
00:28:38Did you use your body?
00:28:40Or your family's filthy money?
00:28:42Look at him.
00:28:44An old man like that can't satisfy you.
00:28:47He's that old and still unmarried.
00:28:49He's probably impotent.
00:28:54He's the only one.
00:29:00He's the only one.
00:29:03He's the only one.
00:29:04Marcus.
00:29:05If you weren't my brother's son,
00:29:07your fingers are already missing.
00:29:09My last warning.
00:29:12You insult my wife again,
00:29:14I'll take your fucking life!
00:29:19Get these two out of here.
00:29:20No!
00:29:22Alessandro, Athena!
00:29:24You're gonna regret this!
00:29:30Now, everybody else here tonight,
00:29:32thank you for coming.
00:29:33Let me remind you,
00:29:35friends understand boundaries.
00:29:37So, word gets back to me,
00:29:40about anything you think you might have heard tonight,
00:29:43let's just say you'll cease to be my friends
00:29:45and become my enemies.
00:29:47Mr. Contini, you're overthinking.
00:29:50Tonight was just you and Miss Ashford.
00:29:53Everything else, nothing.
00:29:56Congratulations, President Contini!
00:29:59Congratulations, Miss Ashford!
00:30:03Wow.
00:30:06I'm going home.
00:30:14It's finally over.
00:30:16After causing such a scene,
00:30:18is he annoyed?
00:30:22Your hand!
00:30:24It's nothing, just a scratch.
00:30:26It's bleeding, how could that be nothing?
00:30:35This might hurt just a little, so...
00:30:38bear with me.
00:30:41The two of us, it...
00:30:43seems like we always meet
00:30:45when one's tending the other's wounds.
00:30:48I don't mind.
00:30:49You know, maybe this is how...
00:30:53fate...
00:30:54ties us together.
00:30:58Did I upset you?
00:31:00No.
00:31:01I was just thinking about how to thank you.
00:31:05Without you, I...
00:31:06I don't know how I would have acted tonight.
00:31:10Wait, wait, do you think...
00:31:12everything I did was just a performance?
00:31:15I know you're only marrying me because of an Ashford.
00:31:18The Alliance.
00:31:19Don't worry, I'll play my part
00:31:21and be a good lady of the Contini family.
00:31:24Hmm?
00:31:26It's...
00:31:27trouble.
00:31:43Do you really think I need a marriage of wealth, power?
00:31:49Everything I said tonight, I meant.
00:31:53You're mine.
00:31:57Why?
00:32:00Why me?
00:32:01The things Marcus said in my past?
00:32:04You really don't mind?
00:32:06Why are you making it?
00:32:08Why?
00:32:10Why are you making it happen?
00:32:11Why are you making it happen?
00:32:12Of course not.
00:32:13Because it's you.
00:32:15You're the only person that matters to me.
00:32:21How do you understand?
00:32:22in. Silly girl, what do you even see in a cowardly nephew of mine?
00:32:51But I've always just called you uncle. And it's always felt like I was, watching
00:33:00you chase another man for over 10 years. But now here we are. You came to me. I don't
00:33:11want you to call this marriage a transaction anymore. I want you, not the Asford group.
00:33:26And I won't give you an opportunity to regret it.
00:33:36Hold! Um, well, go and get some rest. All right, I'll be back in the morning to take you
00:33:45to the chapel. Alessandro, why are you treating me this well?
00:34:08Good afternoon. Assuming you need these? Wait, how did you get my info? I picked it up
00:34:16from your family this morning. As quickly as you can, please. Of course, let's just verify
00:34:22everything. Okay. Congrats. Here's your license. Good for 90 days. Good luck.
00:34:35Thank you. Well, I'll hold on to this one.
00:34:42Why?
00:34:45Make sure it doesn't get lost.
00:34:49Is he really that worried I'll back out?
00:34:59The Malibu house is almost ready. It just means another day or two of preparation.
00:35:04When it's ready, I'll be back to come and take you there.
00:35:07Okay.
00:35:19Here.
00:35:33Teening it up might make it feel better.
00:35:35Even back then, you were like sunlight. Just walking in and making everything brighter.
00:35:42Marcus, wait up!
00:35:43But you only ever saw Marcus. Always saying he was the one.
00:35:47I thought I'd have to watch from the shadows forever.
00:35:54Now I can finally call you mine. I want you, not the Aspergoon.
00:35:59And I won't give you an opportunity to regret it.
00:36:06No.
00:36:15She really think climbing in bed with my uncle is going to make me jealous?
00:36:19What a joke.
00:36:21Who is my uncle anyway?
00:36:24The power behind the Contini family?
00:36:27You ever really fall for a vicious, shallow woman like her?
00:36:35Marcus.
00:36:38Athena's already registered her marriage to Alessandra Contini.
00:36:42What did you say?
00:36:44No, that's impossible.
00:36:46She's using my uncle to make me jealous and provoke me to get under my skin.
00:36:50She wants me to lower my head.
00:36:53Marcus, I...
00:36:54I came today to apologize to you.
00:36:57I was...
00:36:58I was terrified.
00:37:00I mean, Athena, she suddenly became so frightening and I...
00:37:06I was forced into it.
00:37:07I didn't have a choice.
00:37:10You didn't hesitate for a second when you smashed that bottle over my head.
00:37:16Forget it.
00:37:18I don't blame you.
00:37:21Marcus, do you think that Athena's never coming back?
00:37:27What did you say?
00:37:31When I...
00:37:32When I find the right opportunity, I'm going to take back everything that belongs to me.
00:37:38Everything in the Ashford family is going to be yours.
00:37:43Marcus, do you think that maybe we should release the news of our engagement?
00:37:49I mean, Athena can't pretend anymore then.
00:37:52She'll have to come begging for you back.
00:37:54Right.
00:37:55That's it.
00:37:56She'll come crawling back like a dog.
00:38:01When I also marry into the Contini family, Athena, I'll return every humiliation you gave me tenfold.
00:38:14Honey, are you sure you don't want me to stay with you for a bit?
00:38:18The Contini family is powerful.
00:38:22Alessandro is the Mafia King if he ever did...
00:38:25Mom, I'm not moving to another planet.
00:38:28And he'll take good care of me.
00:38:31I promise.
00:38:32Miss.
00:38:34Madam, Mr. Contini's people are here.
00:38:37With the delivery.
00:38:38Lots of it.
00:38:39The drive was getting full fast.
00:38:54Mr. Contini asked us to deliver these for the Ashford family.
00:39:01Here are the deeds to multiple million dollar homes.
00:39:05And here is a stunning 15 carat diamond ring, the tear of the starry sky.
00:39:13How does he have this ring?
00:39:16My God, this is too much.
00:39:18Mr. Contini is incredibly generous.
00:39:21In my last life, Marcus spent every cent I had on this ring, leaving me unable to pay my hospital
00:39:27bills.
00:39:30Wow.
00:39:32Look at you, Athena.
00:39:34You can't even afford a nurse.
00:39:37Pathetic.
00:39:38My dear sister, I just...
00:39:41I had to come see you in person.
00:39:45Stunning, isn't it?
00:39:48Marcus got it for me.
00:39:49He said,
00:39:50Only the rarest tear of the starry sky would suit me.
00:39:54Oh, and the money?
00:39:55It came from your medical fund, of course.
00:39:58He said,
00:39:59She's not going to make it anyway, so...
00:40:01Might as well make you happy.
00:40:02Isn't that so sweet?
00:40:07Careful, sis.
00:40:09Getting angry won't help.
00:40:10Well, but I guess you're almost at the end anyway, so...
00:40:13It doesn't really matter.
00:40:14Oh, Athena.
00:40:18Everything you ever wanted.
00:40:20The man.
00:40:21The money.
00:40:22The Contini name.
00:40:25It's all mine now.
00:40:27Sweet dreams.
00:40:52I have one more gift for you.
00:40:56Oh, my.
00:40:57That's impressive.
00:41:11Why would you give me this stagger?
00:41:14I need you to be able to protect yourself.
00:41:38Do you know how to use that?
00:41:40No.
00:41:45Here.
00:41:49Up your fingers around the hill, tight.
00:41:54The blade needs to become an extension of your arm.
00:41:57Then you are in control.
00:42:03Now, reverse the grip.
00:42:07Bring it in tight to your body.
00:42:10Anyone who comes close, you will get them.
00:42:13I'm not trying to get anyone.
00:42:17If you're not willing to kill, you won't last a night in my world.
00:42:28Now, go ahead and stab me.
00:42:31Are you insane?
00:42:33I could actually hurt you.
00:42:37If you're not willing to even try, you'll never survive.
00:42:42Do it.
00:42:44Stab me in the heart.
00:42:51Again.
00:42:54Come on.
00:43:22If this were real, you'd already be dead.
00:43:30A blade isn't for anger.
00:43:33They're for keeping yourself alive.
00:43:39Now, relax your wrist.
00:43:43You're holding it like you're afraid of it.
00:43:47There you go.
00:43:49You need it to become a part of you.
00:43:52When someone is closing in on you,
00:43:55you can see the whites of their eyes.
00:43:58That's when you strike.
00:44:07Wrong again.
00:44:09Listen.
00:44:11Use my momentum against me.
00:44:19There you go.
00:44:22Remember that feeling?
00:44:25Then why?
00:44:26Why are you teaching me all this?
00:44:31Because you're my wife now.
00:44:34And when I'm not there, I need you to be able to protect yourself.
00:44:40But when I am,
00:44:43I swear no one will ever hurt you again.
00:44:54I swear no one will ever hurt you again.
00:45:13The lesson's over.
00:45:19I'll take you home.
00:45:22Yeah.
00:45:23Okay.
00:45:25Okay.
00:45:49Charles.
00:45:51Freeze every account that Marcus has that's tied to me.
00:45:55Do it now.
00:46:03Relax, Serena.
00:46:05She'll be back.
00:46:06She has to be.
00:46:08But Leia.
00:46:09She'll be the one calling me.
00:46:11I hope you're right.
00:46:13But right now,
00:46:15the planner for the engagement party
00:46:17needs the final deposit.
00:46:20Fine.
00:46:21How much?
00:46:22I'll send it now.
00:46:23Just 10,000.
00:46:2810,000.
00:46:30What?
00:46:32What?
00:46:45Mother.
00:46:46Ali.
00:46:47You're engaged to the Ashford girl.
00:46:51Finally.
00:46:52Thank God.
00:46:53The Contini needs an heir.
00:46:55When's the big day?
00:46:56I've already picked baby names.
00:46:58A baby?
00:47:00Mother, I don't think I can...
00:47:01I don't think I can handle that right now.
00:47:03So when are you bringing her home?
00:47:05I've already set up the new house closer to me
00:47:08so the staff can help with the baby.
00:47:10How far have you two gone?
00:47:12Mother, stop pushing.
00:47:14All right, that's really none of your business.
00:47:16Your brother died young
00:47:18and left us with that useless Marcus.
00:47:21I'm getting old, Ali.
00:47:23All I want is to hold my grandchild.
00:47:27Don't tell me you're going to let me die without one.
00:47:33No way.
00:47:34Alessandra's not actually impotent.
00:47:37Look at him.
00:47:38An old man like that can't satisfy you.
00:47:40He's that old and still unmarried.
00:47:42He's probably impotent.
00:47:45Marcus couldn't have been right.
00:47:48Oh, God.
00:47:48Should I just ask him?
00:47:50All right.
00:47:51Yeah, I get it.
00:47:58If she heard about the baby thing,
00:48:00would it scare her off?
00:48:10All right.
00:48:11I get it, I know.
00:48:18Everything's packed.
00:48:19The movers will be here tomorrow morning.
00:48:20I'm going to stay with my mom to keep her company.
00:48:23All right.
00:48:23I'll be back tomorrow to take you to the Sunset Bay Villa.
00:48:43All right.
00:48:45Here.
00:48:46It's windy out.
00:48:55You know, I do have everything we'll ever need prepared at Sunset Bay Villa.
00:49:00I don't really need all of this.
00:49:02I'm used to having my things.
00:49:04If you're too busy to come, please don't go out of your way.
00:49:07Charles has prepared everything very well.
00:49:10You know, I don't think picking up my wife constitutes as going out of my way.
00:49:16It's my responsibility.
00:49:19On a side note, I have almost fully prepared the master bedroom.
00:49:24One thing, one very important thing, is missing.
00:49:29What's missing?
00:49:31You.
00:49:34Then, you'll be complete.
00:49:49Take me home.
00:49:51As you wish.
00:49:58How can Mr. Contini be so heartless?
00:50:02Our case room is ruined.
00:50:05You have to compensate me.
00:50:06This countryside wedding venue and my gown.
00:50:10It's Italian hot couture.
00:50:13My engagement party has to be grander and even more unforgettable than hers.
00:50:18Grander?
00:50:18Yeah, and who's going to pay for that?
00:50:20All my accounts are frozen.
00:50:22The project funds are blocked.
00:50:23You know, this has to be my uncle's doing.
00:50:26Not even a single dollar left.
00:50:32You know, my uncle has a villa at Sunset Bay.
00:50:36I did the paperwork for it back then.
00:50:37I know where everything is.
00:50:38The keys, the passcodes, all of it.
00:50:42Sunset Bay?
00:50:44That lakeside antique villa?
00:50:46It's decorated like a palace.
00:50:48And it should be empty.
00:50:49So we'll go in there, borrow it for a while, take some pictures, throw a small party.
00:50:53You know, keep up appearances.
00:50:54And then Athena will see it, me living that luxurious life.
00:50:58And she'll regret everything she ever did to me.
00:51:01She'll come crawling back to me.
00:51:03Let's go tomorrow.
00:51:04Yeah.
00:51:09Oh, wow.
00:51:14Marcus, this place is beautiful.
00:51:16This is more beautiful than the Ashford Villa.
00:51:19What would you expect?
00:51:20It's all my uncle's things.
00:51:22Marcus, this place is so romantic.
00:51:26Yeah?
00:51:27Yeah.
00:51:27You like it?
00:51:28I like it.
00:51:29As long as I'm with you anywhere is fine.
00:51:32Mm-hmm.
00:51:50Mom, the view is so beautiful.
00:51:52Look over there.
00:51:53Oh, Alessandra's really put a lot of thought into this.
00:51:57Mm-hmm.
00:52:06What are you doing?
00:52:09What are you doing?
00:52:11Serena, Marcus, this is Mr. Contini and Athena's new home.
00:52:15How could you?
00:52:16Mom, Dad, I...
00:52:19It's not what you think.
00:52:20We were just looking around.
00:52:22What are you staring at?
00:52:23This is a Contini family property, and I'm part of the Contini family.
00:52:27Why can't I be here?
00:52:28Marcus, where on earth did you find the fucking audacity to waltz into my new home uninvited?
00:52:34Uncle, you froze my accounts.
00:52:37We had nowhere to go.
00:52:38I brought Serena here to find you, and then we rested on the couch.
00:52:42That was it.
00:52:42Just rested a bit.
00:52:43That's it.
00:52:44There are hundreds of hotels in this city and countless park benches, yet somehow you end
00:52:49up here.
00:52:49Athena, now you're trying to be all virtuous?
00:52:51This is all because of you.
00:52:53You caused all of this.
00:52:54Marcus, enough.
00:52:57You make mistakes.
00:52:59You refuse to repent, and you dare accuse Athena?
00:53:02Get out now.
00:53:04Mr. Ashford, have you forgotten that Athena's not your only daughter?
00:53:08Serena's also your daughter.
00:53:09Can't you be fair?
00:53:10Mom, Dad, we really didn't know.
00:53:13I had no idea that this was my sister's new home.
00:53:16Serena, stop acting.
00:53:18I want to know what makes you feel the need to lie and play the victim.
00:53:22Athena, how could you say that about me?
00:53:26Hey, enough.
00:53:28I was soft-hearted before, letting you back into the Ashford family.
00:53:32But as of today, you are no longer my daughter.
00:53:38You are no longer my daughter.
00:53:46I was wrong, okay?
00:53:47I know, I know now.
00:53:48I really know that I was wrong.
00:53:51Alessandra, I am sorry I had to embarrass myself in front of you.
00:53:55We won't stay any longer.
00:53:57Every man put down the things, and we will leave.
00:54:09Marcus, you somehow managed to ruin our new home.
00:54:14I'll give you two options.
00:54:16One, you kill your mistress right here.
00:54:20Two,
00:54:27Cut off your fucking fingers.
00:54:31Mr. Contini, I know, I know that I was wrong.
00:54:34Okay, please, please don't kill me.
00:54:37We gave you your two options.
00:54:39If Marcus can't do it himself, you can help him.
00:54:52What?
00:54:54Serena, what are you doing?
00:54:55Come on, Marcus.
00:54:56No.
00:54:56It's simple, really.
00:55:00Ah!
00:55:04Ah!
00:55:06Ah!
00:55:07Ah!
00:55:08Ah!
00:55:09Ah!
00:55:11Clean up your fucking mess.
00:55:13Ah!
00:55:16Ah!
00:55:17Ah!
00:55:18I never imagined Marcus could be this stupid.
00:55:21I'm not going to suffer with you.
00:55:24Ah!
00:55:45Your drink, sir?
00:55:48Oh.
00:55:49Well.
00:55:50Hmm.
00:55:54Ah!
00:55:58All right, boys.
00:56:00Night.
00:56:05Here.
00:56:10Jesus.
00:56:18What the?
00:56:25Mr. Contini.
00:56:29Are you feeling okay?
00:56:32What?
00:56:37Mr. Contini.
00:56:40Are you feeling okay?
00:56:46I heard you drank too much, so I came to take care of you.
00:56:51What?
00:56:52What?
00:56:56Get your filthy hands off of me.
00:56:59Serena, do you think all men are like Marcus, ruled by their filthy dicks?
00:57:06Mr. Contini, I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:57:09I'm genuinely worried about you.
00:57:11What?
00:57:14Worried about me?
00:57:15You come here in this dress with your cheap perfume, performing your vulgar little slut dance.
00:57:25You and your mother truly are built from the same silfy rotten mold.
00:57:30How can you say that?
00:57:31I'm part of the Astrid family, too.
00:57:33No, you don't deserve that title.
00:57:36I will settle the score with you and Marcus.
00:57:42Very, very slowly.
00:57:44Now get the fuck out of here before you shoot your brains out.
00:57:58Uncle Alex, is the party over?
00:58:01Um, Athena, come help me real quick.
00:58:05Uh, Sandra, what's wrong?
00:58:06Um, somebody drugged me.
00:58:08What?
00:58:09Where are you?
00:58:09I'm coming right now.
00:58:10Did you call a doctor?
00:58:11Who did this?
00:58:12Well, no, no, no, doctor.
00:58:14Just, I don't feel well.
00:58:15Come, come here.
00:58:16Please.
00:58:24Are you okay?
00:58:25Do you want me to go to the hospital?
00:58:27No, no hospital.
00:58:28Just be with me.
00:58:31Okay, what do you need?
00:58:43I need you.
00:58:52What happened?
00:58:54Someone tried to catch me off guard by slipping something in my drink.
00:59:00Athena.
00:59:03I want you.
00:59:06Give yourself to me, please.
00:59:09Are we trying to see her?
00:59:12Athena.
00:59:15I want you.
00:59:17Give yourself to me, please.
00:59:20Are we trying to see her?
00:59:23No, no, no, not right here.
00:59:27Go upstairs and get me a cold bath.
00:59:29A cold bath?
00:59:31Yeah, yeah.
00:59:32That'll help me come to my senses.
00:59:35Okay.
00:59:36Okay.
00:59:36I'm going right now.
00:59:44Oh, my God.
00:59:45Alessandra really can't...
00:59:48A baby?
00:59:49Mother, I don't think I can...
00:59:51I don't think I can handle that right now.
00:59:53He's that old and still unmarried.
00:59:55He's that old and still unmarried?
00:59:56He's probably impotent.
00:59:57So that's why he chose this method.
01:00:00Now, I have to help him.
01:00:15Is the water ready?
01:00:16I'll go.
01:00:17Is the water ready?
01:00:17No.
01:00:18What?
01:00:19The cold water won't help you, Alessandro.
01:00:23Then what will?
01:00:28Your wife.
01:00:35Wait, Alina.
01:00:39Do you even know what you're saying?
01:00:41I mean, I can't really control myself right now.
01:00:44Alina, I don't want you to regret this.
01:00:48I could never resent you.
01:00:58Alessandro.
01:01:01Take me in.
01:01:04Well, then it's your choice.
01:01:07And tonight, I'll give you everything you want.
01:01:27Oh, no.
01:01:39Marcus!
01:01:41Marcus!
01:01:42Marcus!
01:01:42Open it!
01:01:43Jesus!
01:01:44It's the middle of the night.
01:01:45Can I get some rest?
01:01:46Marcus, your uncle.
01:01:48He's not even human.
01:01:53So all that plenty was for nothing, huh?
01:01:56You know, your mother used to know exactly
01:01:58how to make men hand her everything.
01:02:01Why didn't you learn?
01:02:02Marcus?
01:02:03How can you say that?
01:02:05You're the most useless piece of trash alive!
01:02:07Really?
01:02:08You're going to insult me?
01:02:09Oh, so what if I do?
01:02:10Alessandro's every disgusting thing you've ever done.
01:02:13You know, without the Contini family
01:02:14or the Ashroot family,
01:02:15you're nothing.
01:02:16Still just waiting for your uncle and Athena
01:02:18to regret everything.
01:02:21You think I'm disgusting?
01:02:24You think I'm disgusting?
01:02:25Yeah.
01:02:26Disgusting!
01:02:28I've tolerated you for long enough.
01:02:31Without me, you're nothing.
01:02:33And you dare yell at me?
01:02:34Shut up!
01:02:36I died saving you in my last life, you bitch.
01:02:40Athena killed me.
01:02:41And in this life,
01:02:42I've already lost two fingers.
01:02:45Is that not enough for you?
01:02:47Go!
01:02:49And how do you repay me, huh?
01:02:51By lying to me?
01:02:53Cheating on me?
01:02:54Dragging me?
01:02:55I should have known exactly
01:02:57what kind of woman you are.
01:03:00You are worth a fraction
01:03:02of what Athena is.
01:03:05And I could have had
01:03:06my happily ever after on her,
01:03:08but you ruined it.
01:03:09It's all your fault.
01:03:12Die, bitch.
01:03:15Go to hell!
01:03:16Go to hell!
01:03:39Athena!
01:03:41She tricked me!
01:03:43She deceived me!
01:04:05Hey, want to help me out?

01:16:44Boss, you've already repented for Miss Ashford 99 days straight.
01:16:50Then my devotion is too weak,
01:16:53for the Lord has not heard my prayer.
01:17:05If only I hadn't hesitated.
01:17:12If only I had been there a moment sooner.
01:17:16Would you still be alive?
01:17:26Perhaps this is God's punishment for me.
01:17:33Please.

01:18:03Don't

01:18:27Choosing a husband.

01:18:47She's still alive.
01:18:54You just said in this life and the dagger you gave me, it was from my previous life.
01:19:08No matter how many lives, I will never let you go and I will always protect you.
