00:00As the family's heir, I've been disguised as a man.
00:03I planned everything, including sleeping with my enemy.
00:08I'm Talia Papanos.
00:10For 23 years, I was Theo, heir to a shipping empire,
00:15the perfect grandson, the ultimate businessman.
00:19I wore the man's mask well.
00:21My grandfather forced me to produce an heir,
00:23or he would strip me of everything immediately.
00:26I cannot marry, and I cannot reveal my identity.
00:30The only way out is to find a man to get me pregnant.
00:35I chose my sworn enemy, Zev Stavros.
00:39He has top-tier genes and extraordinary ability.
00:43Most importantly, our families have been bitter enemies for a century.
00:48He would never suspect that I would use him.
00:51But that night, at the Apokrys Festival, I was the hunter.
00:55And he was the prey.
00:57That night, between wine, drums, and the city's wild celebration,
01:02we did what the curse forbade.
01:04We slept together.
01:06I woke up in a stranger's room,
01:08staring at the most infuriating man in the Aegean.
01:12I didn't panic.
01:14I reacted like a proper Papanos.
01:17Dressed in 45 seconds, grabbed my wallet,
01:19left 50 euros on the nightstand as payment for this pregnancy plan.
01:24One month later, I got my test result.
01:27Positive.
01:28I'd done it!
01:29I was pregnant with my enemy's child.
01:33I felt nothing but huge satisfaction.
01:36I'd lived by my family's rules.
01:39Everything was going exactly as I'd planned.
01:43But I'd underestimated Zephyr.
01:45He was known for being cold and uninterested in women.
01:49Rumors even said he was gay.
01:50He never gave it a look.
01:52I thought he'd never chase any woman.
01:55But this time, he checked the 50 euros I'd left.
01:59And he lost his mind searching for me.
02:02Pull up the guest list.
02:03He pulled the festival footage, got the guest list,
02:07interrogated everyone there.
02:08He was going to find the woman who'd slept with him,
02:12humiliated him, and vanished.
02:15He felt challenged.
02:16For the first time, I panicked.
02:19My plan had been perfect,
02:21but I never thought he'd hunt me like this.
02:23I called Andreas, my cousin.
02:26I need to get out of Athens.
02:27The only royal connected person I trust.
02:31Is this about Zephan Stavros?
02:32He's been to my off twice this week,
02:34asking super specific questions about the festival.
02:36Thamia, what did you do exactly?
02:38I slept him and left some money.
02:41Are you insane?
02:42You shall not lay a hand on him, no matter what.
02:45Grandpa will kill you.
02:48Leave it and keep your mouth shut.
02:51I fled to Thessaloniki that same night.
02:53I hid my true identity.
02:55I cut off all contact.
02:57I waited to give birth.
03:01Zeph's hunt grew more intense by the day.
03:03He even tracked down the private cabin records from that night.
03:06He was closing in, step by step.
03:09My cousin sent me a secret message.
03:12I hid in a strange city.
03:14I dared not turn on my phone, not leave a single trace.
03:19I wasn't afraid of his hatred.
03:20I was afraid he would destroy everything I'd worked so hard to gain.
03:25I kept telling myself, I only borrowed his seed.
03:28I gave birth to a son at a private clinic.
03:31I named him Nico.
03:32When the nurse put him in my arms, my heart dropped.
03:36He looked exactly like Zephyr.
03:39Even that cold, arrogant look was identical.
03:43He was living proof.
03:45Worse, just three minutes old, he stared at me like I'd made the biggest mistake of my life.
03:53I told myself I could hide him forever, but I knew the truth.
03:57Paper can never wrap fire.
04:00I hid for two full years.
04:03Then my family fell into chaos.
04:05My grandfather forced me to come back and run things.
04:08I had no choice.
04:10I took Nico and returned to Athens.
04:12I covered my tracks and got ready.
04:15I thought I could keep being my heir and live in peace, but fate didn't give me a break.
04:21Only 40 minutes after I got home,
04:23He's here.
04:24Zev's staff boss is at the door.
04:26My blood turned to ice.
04:28My whole body went cold.
04:30What was meant to find me, finally found me.
04:35Zev walked toward me, step by step.
04:38His overwhelming presence crushed the air out of my lungs.
04:42Where did this child come from?
04:44He was left by a stranger.
04:47She's gone.
04:49A stranger?
04:51His fingertips brushed Nico's face.
04:55This boy looks exactly like me.
04:57Do you take me for a fool?
04:58Children look like everyone.
04:59It's a normal stage.
05:00Very common.
05:01That is not a thing.
05:02It's 100% a thing.
05:04I can send you the research.
05:08Nico, that little traitor.
05:11Don't dare.
05:16His face lighting up.
05:18I want to be his godfather.
05:20Absolutely not.
05:21He reached for me.
05:22He reaches for everything.
05:23Last Tuesday, he tried to be friends with a parking leader.
05:25I could have dropped him in the sea.
05:28After I turned him down flat, Zev went into full pursuit mode.
05:32Every morning at 7 sharp, he showed up at my door, never late.
05:36He waited two hours in line just to buy my favorite coffee.
05:40He just played with Nico.
05:42Fixed my cabinets.
05:44One day, my secretary said to me,
05:46He can do something.
05:46It's about Zev.
05:47What did he do now?
05:48He's been snooping around your room at the mansion.
05:50Looking for what?
05:51I think maybe women's stuff.
05:54And he keeps asking the staff about your daily habits nonstop.
05:57Her words sent chills down my spine.
06:00From that day, I couldn't bear him anymore.
06:03Get out!
06:03I'm sick of you snooping around my life.
06:05Get the hell out of my house!
06:06I'm his father figure.
06:08I have the right to take care of him.
06:10Rumors exploded outside.
06:12Everyone whispered,
06:13The rival heir is clinging to the family's successor every single day.
06:18Something seriously weird between them.
06:22And Nico?
06:23He helped Zev every single day.
06:26They're definitely father and son.
06:28What a pair.
06:30That morning, Zev set down his coffee.
06:33His eyes went cold.
06:34No more games.
06:36No more hints.
06:37He slammed a pile of papers on the table.
06:40I've searched every corner of Thessaloniki.
06:42The woman you made up?
06:43She never existed.
06:44The banquet was in February.
06:46You left Athens in March.
06:48Two years later, you came back with a two-year-old son.
06:51On Carnival Night, only you and I went into the private area.
06:54Everyone checked in as male.
06:55No woman entered.
06:56Not a single one.
06:59Ask yourself.
07:00You're the one who slept with her.
07:02What's the point of asking me?
07:04Why are you disturbing me all the time?
07:05Every lie.
07:06Every disguise.
07:07I couldn't pay the price.
07:09Theo, who the hell are you?
07:13Zev was totally out of patience.
07:16He stirred up trouble just to catch me off guard.
07:20Every single move was planned.
07:22Whether it was a business dinner, a public event, or outside the company, he'd lean in close.
07:27Didn't care who saw.
07:29The paparazzi were lying in wait.
07:31They snapped photos non-stop.
07:34Him with his arm around me, leaning in to whisper.
07:37My panicky face as I tried to pull away.
07:40By nightfall, those photos were everywhere.
07:44Everyone talked.
07:45Rumors spread like wildfire.
07:47Are you crazy?
07:48What the hell are these pictures?
07:49Grandpa, listen to me.
07:50It's a misunderstanding.
07:51Zev set me up.
07:51I don't care about the details.
07:53Cut ties with him now.
07:54Keep this up, and you'll ruin our family's name for good.
07:57We are a shipping empire, not a joke for the tablets.
08:00I was stuck in the spotlight.
08:02No escape.
08:03No fight back.
08:04If I tried to explain, I'd blow my cover on the spot.
08:08Zev's plan was clear.
08:10Corner me until I had no choice.
08:13Make me take off my male disguise.
08:15Admit who I really was.
08:17Admit everything between us.
08:19Driven mad by his persecution, I fought back.
08:23Crazily.
08:23I found a female celebrity to be my date.
08:26We were always seen together.
08:28Going to movies, having dinners, and showing up at events.
08:31Just like today.
08:34I like women, Zev.
08:35Stop pestering me, and stay away from me.
08:38This made Zev a little bit upset.
08:40I saw you making out with your boyfriend on the beach just last week.
08:43How come you got a new one so fast?
08:45Elena, are you two-timing?
08:47Julie, are you two-timing?
08:48Who's that guy on the beach?
08:49Theo, weren't you and Zev getting along like a house on fire just a while ago?
08:52Then what's with?
08:52Are you and Zev being serious?
08:54Are you for gay?
08:56Then what's with?
08:56Are you and Zev being serious?
08:58Are you gay?
08:59Your feelings for Theo.
09:01No denial, no explanation.
09:04Next second, he stepped forward, pulled me into his arms.
09:08I want exposure.
09:08Late one night, I'd just taken off my male clothes.
09:12Put on my night skirt, ready to relax for a minute.
09:16Suddenly, the doorbell rang, frantically.
09:18I panicked, grabbed a thick coat, wrapped myself up tight, then opened the door.
09:23Zev pushed in without a word.
09:25His sharp eyes scanned my room, my bed, even noticed the edge of my coat.
09:31What were you hiding just now?
09:32Why are you so panicked?
09:35It has nothing to do with you.
09:37Get out of my house.
09:38He suddenly reached out, trying to lift my coat.
09:41I was terrified, pushed him away hard.
09:44I think I've completely guessed it.
09:47Only one second away, my female identity would be exposed completely.
09:54That morning, something happened.
09:56Something that broke me completely.
09:59Zev walked in.
10:00Nico looked at him, then shouted clearly two words.
10:04Daddy!
10:06My mind went completely blank.
10:10Daddy!
10:10Zev trembled all over, pulled Nico into his arms.
10:15His voice shook, uncontrollable.
10:18Say it again.
10:20Daddy!
10:21I rushed over to stop him, but it was too late.
10:24His eyes were full of certainty.
10:26The child recognizes me.
10:28How long are you going to keep hiding?
10:30What I'd feared most, what I'd worried about, day and night, it finally happened.
10:36Zev slammed the evidence down on the table.
10:39Last chance.
10:40Admit it yourself, or I'll tell the whole world that Theo Papenos is not a man.
10:46You're Thaddeus.
10:48You're crazy.
10:50I don't know what you're talking about, don't you?
10:52When I was 17, I saw you at that gala, wearing a suit, acting like the air everyone feared.
10:56I hated that I couldn't stop thinking about you.
10:57I hated even more that I thought I was gay for wanting my enemy.
10:59Then you came back to Greece.
11:01I dug, I investigated, I found out the truth.
11:03You're a woman.
11:04I wasn't broken, I was just obsessed with you.
11:06My breath caught all his madness, his chase, his fixation.
11:11I've waited two years to find you.
11:13Seven years to stop hating myself for wanting you.
11:16I'm not waiting anymore.
11:17It was me.
11:18The festival, the night, the baby.
11:21All of it was me.
11:22I just needed an air.
11:25I know.
11:26I know you used me.
11:27And I still can't let you go.
11:29They're here.
11:29Both grandfathers.
11:31With everyone.
11:31They're downstairs.
11:32The front door crashed open.
11:36Members of both families poured in.
11:39You ungrateful girl.
11:40I raised you to pretend to be a man for 23 years to protect our empire.
11:43And you betted our enemy, had his child?
11:44You're stripped of everything.
11:45You disgrace to the Stavos name.
11:47She used you.
11:48Humiliated you.
11:49Break ties with her.
11:50Now.
11:50Or you face family punishment.
11:52I will never leave her.
11:53Nico is my son.
11:54Tharia is the person I've wanted since I was 17.
11:56Enough!
11:58Take him back.
12:00Whip him until he submits.
12:01Until he forgets that girl.
12:02Until he abandons that bastard child.
12:04Tharia!
12:05Watch Nico.
12:06Wait for me.
12:11Oak door of the punishment chamber slammed shut.
12:16His shirt torn off.
12:18His back bared for all the Stavros family to watch.
12:22His grandfather stepped forward.
12:24Whip in hand.
12:25Voice like ice.
12:26Have you forgotten we are sworn enemies?
12:29You would go against everyone?
12:31To be with the enemy?
12:33His gaze unyielding.
12:34I haven't forgotten.
12:36And I will still choose her.
12:38Blood bloomed bright red.
12:41Have you learned your lesson?
12:43I love her.
12:45I love her.
12:47Crack!
12:48Another brutal lash.
12:50Will you abandon her?
12:53Never.
13:05I'm not leaving them.
13:07He fainted, hanging from the ropes covered in blood.
13:10When he woke hours later, he was in his bedroom.
13:13Arya sat beside him, dabbing his wounds gently.
13:15She was the woman his family had chosen for him.
13:18Zev had never cared for anyone but Thalia.
13:21He'd never paid Arya any mind.
13:23In his half-conscious, Zev mumbled softly, over and over.
13:28Thathia.
13:29Don't go.
13:30Don't leave me.
13:32She'd never seen Thalia as a threat, because she'd thought Theo was a man.
13:38I will play the long game.
13:40I will not lose.
13:47Zev, I love you.
13:49I've always loved you.
13:50I've been waiting for you.
13:52Can't you give me a chance?
13:53Get out.
13:57Arya stared at him, stunned, tears stinging her eyes.
14:01Zev, I just want to-
14:03Get out!
14:05Arya stood there, trembling uncontrollably.
14:08Her soft devotion turned into burning hatred.
14:11Thais Paponis.
14:13You stole him from me.
14:15You will pay for this with everything you have.
14:17Arya's hatred had turned fatal.
14:20I was a woman, the only woman Zev had ever loved.
14:24She lost all reason.
14:26She set a trap, forged documents, fake shipping records, planted evidence of serious fraud.
14:33She meant to bury me forever.
14:35What she didn't know?
14:36Her scheme nearly dragged the entire Stavros family into ruin.
14:42The Stavros family also ran things off the books, business that could never see the light
14:47of day.
14:47Arya's mess had put all of it at risk.
14:52The next morning, police arrived.
14:54Also the paparazzi.
14:56Theo Paponis, you're under arrest.
14:58Before I could speak, Zev stumbled forward.
15:01Bandages still wrapped around his whipped back.
15:05Everything was my doing.
15:07Charge me.
15:08Let her go.
15:10Zev, don't.
15:12You'll lose your family, your title, everything.
15:14I don't care.
15:16I'd take whipping, prison, anything for you.
15:19Arya stood in the corner, watching.
15:22He was willing to destroy himself to save me.
15:26He would sacrifice his family, his future, his life to save me.
15:35You're all fools.
15:37This man, he's not a man at all.
15:39Theo Paponis is a woman.
15:40Thalias Paponis.
15:42You're a woman.
15:43The whole world went silent.
15:46Family members stared in shock.
15:48My 23 years of disguise, exposed in one second by the woman I'd never seen as a threat.
15:57Now you see?
15:57He's choosing to go to prison for a liar, a fake, a woman who hid behind a man's mask for
16:02years.
16:03Why?
16:04I loved him for years, but he never looked me.
16:06Theo, show your real face to the world.
16:09Arya ripped my wig clean off my head.
16:12She shouted my secret for everyone to hear.
16:15My world shattered.
16:17Cameras flashed.
16:19Police stared.
16:20Both families fell deadly silent.
16:23The scandal tore through our empires.
16:26Stocks crashed.
16:28Partners panicked.
16:29Our reputations were ruined.
16:31But every charge against me was fake.
16:34Forged papers.
16:36Planted records.
16:37All lies from Arya.
16:39None of it stood.
16:40I would not be arrested.
16:43I would not go to prison.
16:45The Stavros family was not so safe.
16:49Their off-the-books underworld businesses nearly came to light.
16:53In a frantic secret rush, they burned records, covered trails, and locked down all their dark
16:59operations before anything leaked.
17:02Within days, the storm calmed.
17:04All the blame fell on Arya.
17:06The Stavros grandfather called the whole family to witness.
17:10You have shamed us.
17:12You risked everything for petty jealousy.
17:15You are no longer one of us.
17:18They publicly denounced her.
17:20Humiliated her.
17:22Cast her out for good.
17:23No one defended her.
17:25No one cared.
17:26The fake charges were gone.
17:28The underground businesses were hidden again.
17:31The girl who started it all was gone.
17:34But I could never go back.
17:36Theo was dead.
17:38Only Thalia remained.
17:40My disguise was gone.
17:42Both our families were weakened by the scandal.
17:45Then, our long-waiting external enemy struck hard.
17:49They leaked old secrets.
17:52They seized our shipping routes.
17:54Shorted our stocks.
17:55Turned the public against both our empires.
17:58For the first time in a century, my grandfather and Zev's grandfather faced the same truth.
18:06If we kept fighting each other, we would both burn.
18:11At the emergency board meeting, I stood before everyone.
18:14No suit.
18:15No wig.
18:16No mask.
18:17I was no longer Theo.
18:19I was Thalia Papanos.
18:22The female heir.
18:24A mother.
18:25The woman Zev had chosen.
18:28Our feud is over.
18:31If we stand divided, we die.
18:35From today, Papanos and Stavidus stand as one.
18:39Zev stepped beside me.
18:42Anyone who comes for her, comes for me.
18:45Anyone who comes for our family, faces both of us.
18:49The room erupted.
18:51A hundred years of hatred ended in one minute.
18:54That night, under the Aegean stars, Zev took my hand.
18:58He pulled out the one thing he'd kept for two years.
19:02The 50 euro note I'd left on his nightstand.
19:06When I was 17, I fell for you in a suit.
19:11I thought I was gay, I began it.
19:14And I hated myself for it.
19:16Then you came back, used me, left me with 50 euros, and disappeared.
19:22I chased you.
19:24I fought for you.
19:26I chose you over my family.
19:28That night, you paid me 50 euros to be the father of our child.
19:33Now, I give you my whole life to be your husband.
19:38Thasha, marry me.
19:40Yes.
19:41Yes, a thousand times yes.
19:43Nico ran over, small hands grabbing both of ours.
19:46Daddy!
19:47Mommy!
19:48What began as a revenge pregnancy plan became a love that ended a century of war.
