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