Three Ex Husbands, One Scam #FullMovie #engsub
Transcript
00:03On April Fool's Day, my husband, Blaio, handed me divorce papers.
00:08Your two exes called me yesterday, talking shit.
00:10They said you're too uptight, can't take an April Fool's joke.
00:15Said you'd never have the guts to sign divorce papers.
00:19Honey, you wouldn't make me look bad in front of them, would you?
00:23I have two ex-husbands, my childhood friends, Marco and Leo.
00:26But those first two marriages were just business to help their families out of a jam.
00:31Only my marriage to Blaire was for love.
00:33I felt I'd finally found my home, until I overheard the three of them talking.
00:40Lucy is sick. Her dying wish is for the three of us to spend one whole month with her.
00:45Just the three of us.
00:47Blaire, you can handle that, can't you?
00:49Of course. I'll get Eliana to sign the divorce papers.
00:52I'll just tell her it's an April Fool's joke.
00:55And we'll get remarried after the month is up.
00:57I heard everything. I didn't let on.
00:59I just calmly signed the papers.
01:01Then, I texted my father, the godfather of the Moretti family.
01:05Father, I'm divorced.
01:07That arranged marriage you mentioned, is the offer still on the table?
01:10I was standing outside our front door, holding a gift from Chicago handmade candies from that century-old chocolate shop
01:18Blaire loves.
01:19The conversation inside continued.
01:21Will Eliana go for it?
01:23Of course she will.
01:24She's a Maradi.
01:25She knows the rules.
01:27Besides, Ellie's a pup over.
01:29Never makes waves.
01:31Exactly.
01:32She's gotten us out of so much trouble.
01:34This time will be no different.
01:35Ever since we got married, Blaire had always acted like he hated Marco and Leo.
01:40I thought he was jealous.
01:41I was even a little smug about it.
01:43Now I knew the truth.
01:45The three of them were clues.
01:46So close, they could plot against me together.
01:50I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
01:52So that's all I was to them.
01:54My feelings.
01:55My dignity.
01:56My marriage.
01:57Just tools for them to use.
01:59I sat in the car for an entire afternoon, letting the chill seep through my whole body.
02:04My phone buzzed.
02:05A text from Blaire.
02:06Babe, how was the trip?
02:08Got home soon.
02:09I miss you.
02:10I stated the words, I miss you, and almost laughed.
02:13I got out of the car, tossed a box of chocolates in the trash, and pushed open the front door.
02:18Blaire shot up from the sofa.
02:20A perfect smile on his face.
02:23Ellie!
02:24You're back!
02:25How was the road?
02:26He walked over, smoothly taking my coat and handbag, and gave me a light kiss on the cheek.
02:32He'd done it for a year.
02:34It always made me feel warm.
02:36Now, it just made me sick.
02:38I suddenly wiped my cheek.
02:40Blaire sat down next to me, his expression suddenly serious.
02:45Ellie, I need to talk to you about something.
02:48Here we go.
02:49I fought with a cold smile, but I kept my face a mask of confusion.
02:55The commission is auditing the family's assets.
02:58The lawyers are suggesting a temporary divorce, just on paper.
03:03It's to protect you, keep you from getting dragged into this.
03:07A temporary divorce?
03:08He explained eagerly.
03:10Then his face fell into a wounded look.
03:13It's just a formality.
03:15As soon as I clean up the family business, we'll get remarried.
03:18And, yesterday those bastards Marco and Leo called me.
03:21They said since you've been married twice, you'd never dare to divorce again.
03:24That you can't take an April Fool's joke.
03:26He was a damn good actor.
03:28If this were the Oscars, he'd take home best actor.
03:31How could they say that?
03:33I know, and I wasn't going to take that.
03:36I know my wife is the bravest woman there is.
03:39You're not afraid of anything.
03:41He pulled the papers out from under the coffee table and handed them to me.
03:45I took the file and skimmed it.
03:47It detailed the division of assets, most of his property, his stocks, his real estate.
03:54It was all going to me.
03:55Tomorrow, we'll give them the shock of their lives.
03:59I almost laughed out loud.
04:02He was so damn sure of himself.
04:04So certain we'd be remarried soon.
04:06That this was all just for show.
04:08I picked up the pen on the table.
04:09And signed my name at the bottom of the agreement.
04:12With a clean, sharp stroke.
04:14Done.
04:15You should call them now.
04:17I want to hear it when their jaws hit the ground.
04:19Blair froze for a second.
04:20Clearly not expecting me to sign so quickly.
04:23So decisively.
04:24I pushed the papers back to him with a sweet smile.
04:26He looked a bit dazed as he collected the agreement.
04:29Then planted a soft kiss on my forehead.
04:32I knew you'd understand.
04:33You're the best wife in the world.
04:36Then he took his phone.
04:37And walked into the study.
04:38I sat in the living room.
04:40Through the half open study door.
04:42I clearly heard his hushed voice.
04:45She signed.
04:46Yeah, didn't even hesitate.
04:48We'll file tomorrow.
04:50In a month we can...
04:52I told you Ellie was easy.
04:55She's still so gullible.
04:57After you're done with Lucia.
04:58Make it up to Alana.
04:59Don't let her get too bent out of shape.
05:00Of course.
05:02She's my wife after all.
05:04A moment later.
05:06My own phone laid up with two messages.
05:08The first.
05:09From Marco.
05:10Long time no see.
05:11Wanna get together?
05:12The second.
05:13From Leo.
05:14Ellie.
05:15Heard you're getting divorced again.
05:17Don't be sad.
05:17I always said that guy wasn't good enough for you.
05:20How about I buy you a drink?
05:22I used to think our friendship was the most important thing in the world.
05:27Marco asked me to marry him to secure his position as heir to the Falcone family.
05:31I did it.
05:32Leo asked me to marry him to get out of and arrange marriage.
05:35I did that too.
05:36And what did I get for it?
05:38I didn't reply.
05:39I just flipped my phone face down on the table.
05:41Back in the bedroom.
05:42I silently pulled the suitcase.
05:45From the closet.
05:45After a year of marriage.
05:47I didn't have much.
05:49The clothes and jewelry.
05:50Blair had given me.
05:51I left them all behind.
05:53Just as I was zipping up the suitcase.
05:55The doorbell rang.
05:56It was Lucia.
05:57I sat at the door and watched as she stumbled in.
06:00Drunk.
06:00And threw herself into Blair's arms.
06:04Blair.
06:05I missed you so I came over.
06:08Blair instinctively glanced back at me.
06:10A flash of panic in his eyes.
06:13Lucia's drunk.
06:14She insisted on coming to see an old friend.
06:16We couldn't stop her.
06:17Alicia's still here.
06:18Have some respect.
06:19You think it's okay for a drunk woman to be hanging all over you?
06:21Blair immediately pushed Lucia away.
06:24You knew that?
06:25And you still brought her to my house?
06:27Who's the one with no respect?
06:30We're protecting Lucia's reputation.
06:33That's better than some guy who's getting cozy with another woman in front of his wife.
06:37Alright, alright.
06:39Let's not fight over something so small.
06:41Lucia's just had too much to drink.
06:43She doesn't mean any harm.
06:45Then he looked at me.
06:46His eyes searching my face.
06:48You don't mind do you Ileana?
06:51Of course not.
06:53I watched their perfectly rehearsed little play unfold.
06:56Leo, the righteous accuser.
06:58Marco, the peacemaker.
07:00Blair, the wronged husband defending his honor.
07:03If I hadn't heard them celebrating on the phone earlier.
07:06I might have actually believed they couldn't stand each other.
07:09I thought about our old friendship.
07:12Marco, Leo, and I.
07:14We grew up together.
07:15We were the three musketeers, closer than blood.
07:19My father was always busy with family business.
07:22And everyone else kept their distance because of the Moretti name.
07:26Only Marco was willing to teach me how to shoot, taking me to the range every weekend.
07:32Leo even took a bullet for me from a rival family.
07:35He still has the scar on his left shoulder.
07:37Back then, we were the only people in the world we could trust.
07:41But that all changed when Lucia showed up.
07:44She came to Chicago from Italy.
07:46All bold and fiery.
07:48She became the center of everyone's world, including Marco's and Leo's.
07:52They started revolving around her, forming a new circle.
07:55I was slowly pushed to the sidelines.
07:58Only remembered when they needed the Moretti family to solve the problem.
08:02The cracks were always there.
08:03I just chose to ignore them.
08:05Only today was I willing to face the ugly truth.
08:09Lucia finally seemed to notice me, the lady of the house.
08:12Ileana?
08:14Long time no see.
08:16I've always felt so bad.
08:18I know you think I stole Marco and Leo from you, but I really didn't mean to.
08:23Marco's heart instantly melted.
08:26He gently steadied her, and the look he gave me was sharp with annoyance.
08:30What are you talking about?
08:31Nobody stole anybody-
08:33That's right, Lucia.
08:34Anything that can be stolen wasn't really mine to begin with.
08:38You all came at the perfect time tonight.
08:40There's something I want you all to see.
08:42I walked to the coffee table and picked up the signed divorce papers.
08:46I want to make this clear in front of everyone.
08:49These are my divorce papers with Blair.
08:51I've already signed.
08:52Blair looked panicked for a second.
08:54Clearly not expecting me to announce it like this, but he recovered quickly.
08:58He took a step forward, his voice dripping with fake concern.
09:04Ileana, you don't have to do this.
09:06Well, if you're divorced, then I guess you'll be giving me my ring back.
09:09I froze, my eyes dropping to the diamond on my ring finger.
09:13What do you mean?
09:14My voice was dry.
09:15Lucia smiled smugly.
09:17Take the ring off and look at the inner bang.
09:19My name is still engraved on it.
09:21Slowly, I twisted off the ring that had once made my heart leap and turned it over.
09:26Among the delicate filigree, I saw our names.
09:30Blair and Eliana.
09:31But in a tiny, almost hidden spot was a line in Italian.
09:36Per Semperi, Mia Lucia.
09:38In that moment, the world started to spin.
09:40I looked at Blair, desperate for him to explain, to deny it, to tell me it was all a mistake.
09:47But he wouldn't meet my eyes.
09:48He just stood there, silent.
09:50I remembered the day he proposed.
09:53He was on one knee, looking at me with so much love.
09:57I had this ring custom made just for you.
09:59It's one of a kind in the world just like you are in my heart.
10:01I cried, thinking I was the luckiest woman alive.
10:04It turned out, the ring was never meant for me.
10:07It belonged to Lucia.
10:08It had her name on it.
10:10It was a promise of his love for her.
10:12And me, I was just the placeholder.
10:14I looked down at the divorce papers, and suddenly, I smiled.
10:19Right then, I was so glad I had signed them.
10:21I said, placing the ring on the coffee table.
10:24If it has your name on it, then it's yours.
10:30Lucia's eyes lit up.
10:32She snatched the ring, slid it onto her own finger, and admired it.
10:37Thank you, Eliana.
10:38It really does suit me.
10:40Eliana, let me explain.
10:42Plea finally said, stepping forward to grab my hand.
10:46But, I had already turned and was walking toward the stairs.
10:50Don't bother.
10:51Since we're divorced, I shouldn't be living here anymore.
10:54My office, 9am tomorrow, will finish the paperwork.
10:58I dragged my suitcase out the door.
11:00With Blair calling my name behind me.
11:02Full of panic, I didn't stop.
11:04From behind me, I heard Marco's low chuckle.
11:08Nice one, Blair.
11:09She folded even caster than when Leo and I got her to sign our marriage contracts.
11:13Lucia can't wait much longer.
11:14Let's head out tomorrow.
11:16Once the car was moving, my phone buzzed.
11:19A text from Blair.
11:20Eliana, I will explain about the ring.
11:23Find a place to stay for now, and I'll come get you in a few days.
11:26Be good.
11:27Don't overthink things.
11:28I looked at the message, a sneer playing on my lips.
11:31He still thinks I'm coming back.
11:32I gave my dad a call.
11:34Father, I'm divorced.
11:36That arranged marriage you mentioned, is the offer still on the table?
11:40Of course, my dear daughter.
11:41I'm glad you finally made a wise decision.
11:44A year ago, after my second divorce, my father had suggested an arranged marriage to a man
11:51from a powerful, allied family.
11:53But I was lost in my fantasy of being in love with Blair and refused how stupid I had been.
11:59Half an hour later, I got a new friend request on my phone.
12:03The message read,
12:04Time to meet your fiancee.
12:06The next morning at 9, I arrived at my downtown office with the Moretti family's private lawyer.
12:12Blair was already there, looking exhausted and anxious.
12:16He clearly hadn't slept.
12:18Eliana, about the ring, I have to explain.
12:20The jeweler messed up the engraving.
12:22I was going to get it replaced, but there wasn't time.
12:24And I didn't want to upset you over something so small.
12:26I figured I'd quietly get you a new one after the wedding.
12:29Eliana, I know this hurt you.
12:31But you have to believe me, what I feel for you is real.
12:34After this month, after I handle things with Lucia, we'll get remarried.
12:38I promise I'll make it up to you with the most beautiful wedding ring in the world.
12:41One month, he meant that after he finished his romantic getaway with Lucia,
12:46he expected him to remarry me like nothing happened.
12:49I understand.
12:50I was done listening to his shameless excuses.
12:53I turned to my lawyer.
12:54Let's just get this done.
12:56Blair looked stunned, probably not expecting me to be so cooperative.
13:00The whole process was quicker than I thought.
13:03Signatures, witnesses, a legally binding contract.
13:07In less than half an hour, our marriage was officially over.
13:10The moment we stepped out of the office, Blair's phone rang.
13:14He glanced at the caller ID, and his whole face softened.
13:18He answered, his voice gentle.
13:21Lucia, okay, I'm on my way.
13:26Don't worry, I'll take care of you.
13:29Wait for me, I'll be right there.
13:30He hung up and turned to me, the tenderness from the call still lingering in his eyes.
13:36He tried to look conflicted.
13:38Ileana, Lucia isn't feeling well.
13:41I have to go check on her.
13:42Wait here for me, and I'll be back to take you wherever you're staying.
13:45Then he rushed off, without a second glimpse.
13:48I stood in the lobby, watching his hurry retreat, a wave of sadness and relief washing over me.
13:54That was the man I once loved so deeply.
13:57Not one minute after our divorce was final, he was already running to another woman.
14:03I turned and walked toward a conference room at the other end of the hall.
14:08My new fiancé was waiting.
14:10Meanwhile, after waiting by the building's entrance for nearly 10 minutes and seeing no sign of Ileana,
14:16Blair decided to go back up to remind her about the plan.
14:19Just as he reached the entrance, he slammed right into a man walking out.
14:24Papers scattered across the mobile floor.
14:27Blair's divorce decree mixed with the other man's documents.
14:30A gust of wind from the revolving door flipped open the cover of one file.
14:36It was a marriage contract.
14:37As Blair bent down to grab his papers, he caught a glimpse of the photo on that contract.
14:42He froze.
14:43He only saw a small part of it, but that profile, the side of that face.
14:48The man sat politely, quickly gathering his files.
14:51Excuse me.
14:52Blair looked up, trying to get a clear look at the man's face.
14:55But he had already put on a pair of sunglasses, revealing only a sharp jawline and thin lips.
15:00There was an aristocratic air about him that felt strangely familiar to Blair.
15:06It's fine.
15:07Blair replied that his eyes were glued to the marriage contract in the man's hands.
15:12The man finished collecting his things and headed for the exit.
15:15Blair stood there.
15:17A ridiculous thought growing stronger in his mind.
15:20Who signs a marriage contract on April Fuse Day and a photo on that contract?
15:25Even though he only saw a corner of it, why did it look so familiar?
15:29He felt like he'd seen this man somewhere before.
15:33That calm, commanding presence.
15:35That natural air of old wild power.
15:38Hey, wait!
15:39Just as Blair called out to the man, his phone rang.
15:42It was Leo.
15:42He hesitated, then picked up.
15:44Blair, where the hell are you?
15:45We're all waiting.
15:46When Blair looked up again, the man was gone.
15:49A black rose rose peeled around the corner.
15:51Shit.
15:52A second later, a text from Mako came through with coordinates.
15:56Get a move on.
15:57We need to be on the private island in the Bahamas before sunset.
16:01Lucia's waiting.
16:02Blair stared at the screen and a memory hit him.
16:05A promise he'd buried for years.
16:07It was Lucia's dream back when they graduated high school.
16:10She wanted to take everyone to that secret private island and party for three days straight,
16:16watch the most beautiful sunset, and drink the strongest shit they could find.
16:20Security on the island was tight.
16:22He was the only one with an invite.
16:24This was something only he could do for her.
16:26He glanced back at the building, wondering if he should go up and give Ileana a heads up.
16:32But time was short.
16:33It was just for a month.
16:35When he got back, everything would go back to normal.
16:37Blair shook his head, pushing the thought of the mysterious man out of his mind,
16:43and drove to the private airfield.
16:45When he got there, everyone was already waiting.
16:49Lucia was in a red dress.
16:51The sea breeze blowing through her long hair.
16:53The diamond necklace around her neck glittered in the setting sun.
16:57He had bought her that necklace for her 17th birthday.
17:01With six months of his allowance, she was still wearing it.
17:04Blair stood at the bottom of the jet stairs,
17:07looking at her.
17:08And it was like they were kids again, 10 years ago.
17:11Back then, Lucia had just moved to Chicago from Italy,
17:14wearing the same kind of red dress,
17:16looking at them with a shy but hopeful expression.
17:19As he was lost in the memory, a pang of gout hit him.
17:22He hadn't given Ileana many gifts.
17:25The Moratti family had everything.
17:27She didn't need luxury.
17:28He'd only given her a simple diamond bracelet for her birthday.
17:32But she'd worn it every single day, like a treasure.
17:34He suddenly remembered signing the divorce papers today.
17:38Ileana's wrist had been bare.
17:40The bracelet was gone.
17:41The realization made his stomach drop.
17:43Why wasn't she wearing it?
17:45Was she angry?
17:46Or, Lucia ran over and hooked her arm through his.
17:51Blair, what are you thinking about?
17:54We've been waiting forever.
17:55You're late, so you have to take three shots as punishment.
17:58The warmth of her arm and the sparkle in her eyes,
18:01as she looked up at him, threw him back to their teenage years.
18:05Alright, I'll take my punishment.
18:08The guy saw the vibe and started whooping and hollering,
18:12a knowing glint in their eyes.
18:13Blair still got it bad for Lucia!
18:17What, you jealous?
18:18By the time they reached the island villa, the sky was dark.
18:21On the terrace, a party was in full swing.
18:24A gentle sea breeze blew as stars glittered overhead and glasses clinked.
18:29Just as Blair was about to hand Lucia a glass of champagne,
18:33Marco intercepted, swapping the flute in her hand for a glass of juice.
18:38Marco said, his eyes full of concern.
18:42You're sick. No booze.
18:44Lucia took the juice, blinked her wide, innocent eyes, and asked.
18:49The air froze. Everyone stared.
18:52Sick, what are you talking about?
18:54Blair's champagne glass hung in mid-air, his eyes locked on Lucia.
18:59In the stoutness silence, Lucia suddenly burst out laughing.
19:03Covering her mouth, her eyes dancing with mischief.
19:07April Fools!
19:09Raising her juice glass, almost doubled over with laughter.
19:13I'm not dying!
19:14I just needed an excuse to get everyone together for a wild party!
19:21Blair froze solid.
19:23The sound of waves crashing against the rocks seemed suddenly louder.
19:27The distant cries of seabirds mocking his stupidity.
19:30Lucia wasn't sick. This was all a joke.
19:34He thought about how he divorced Eliana for this joke.
19:38He thought about Eliana's unnervingly calm expression as she signed the papers,
19:43about the missing diamond bracelet on her wrist.
19:45A hot flash of anger shot through him.
19:49His voice was rough.
19:51What did you say?
19:53Seeing his face, Lucia's smile faltered, but she was still defiant.
19:58Oh, don't be so serious! It's not like you lost anything!
20:01You get to hang out with me on this beautiful island!
20:04Lucia, even for an April Fools joke, that was a little much.
20:09Yeah, we were all really worried.
20:13Blair just stood there, the champagne fruit trembling in his hand.
20:19Seeing his dark expression, Lucia immediately put on her best innocent hurt look.
20:26She walked out to him, tugging lightly on his sleeve, her eyes welling up.
20:32Blair, are you mad at me? I just... I just missed the days when we were all together.
20:37Her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry.
20:40I know you have your own life now, you have a wife, but our friendship, all the good times we
20:48had, that was all real, wasn't it?
20:52That fragile, helpless look hit Blair right in his weak spot.
20:57He remembered the 17-year-old Lucia, the first time she'd cried and asked him for help, and the fierce,
21:05protective urge he'd felt.
21:07That feeling had never completely disappeared.
21:11The others started chiming in.
21:14Some cousin from a pissing family snickered.
21:17Someone we know could never stay mad at her.
21:21Damn right! Back in school, anyone who messed with Lucia had to answer to Blair.
21:27He would've put a guy in the ground for her!
21:32Everyone laughed, and the tension started to fade.
21:35Blair looked at Lucia, at the verge of tears, and finally caved.
21:41I'm not angry, just... surprised.
21:44Lucia's face broke into a smile.
21:46She pushed a drink into his hand.
21:49Her cheeks flushed, as she looked up at him.
21:52Thank you for coming out with me.
21:54For remembering my dreams.
21:56Her voice was soft, calming his frayed nerves.
22:00Blair raised a glass, looking at the radiant woman in front of him, and the anger and suspicion began to
22:06melt away.
22:07Screw it, he thought.
22:09Let's just call it a perfect send-off to their younger days.
22:14The party ignited again, laughter and clinging glasses filling the air.
22:20As the night hit its peak...
22:22Hey, Blair's divorced, and Lucia's single! It's perfect!
22:31Everyone knew you two were crazy about each other back in the day!
22:36Now's your chance!
22:38Get together! Get together! Get together! Get together!
22:43Yeah! Blair even divorced the Moretti princess for Lucia! It's on you now, Lucia!
22:48The crowd went wild, cheering and whistling, the sound echoing across the island.
22:54Lucia's face turned beet red, and she shyly looked down, but the slight curve of her lips showed she didn't
23:00mind one bit.
23:02Blair stood frozen, the deafening tears ringing in his ears.
23:07But his mind flashed back to Eliana's eyes, in the office that day, so calm, so final.
23:14He'd thought she was calm, because she knew the divorce was fake.
23:18Now, he wasn't so sure.
23:21The look in her eyes...
23:23It was like she was looking at a stranger.
23:25Not the husband she loved.
23:28Lucia whined, a hint of complaint in her tone.
23:30Blair?
23:32You're not gonna join in there teasing, are you?
23:36Blair snapped back to reality.
23:38He looked at the girl, who had been his first love.
23:41He opened his mouth to say something, but the words got stuck.
23:47He couldn't figure it out.
23:49Wasn't this exactly what he wanted?
23:52This escape.
23:53This freedom.
23:54So, why did he feel so damn empty?
23:57The party ended in a blur.
23:59Blair was blackout drunk.
24:00He vaguely remembered someone helping him upstairs, unbuttoning his shirt.
24:04Soft fingers traced his neck.
24:06He tried to push them away, but he had no strength.
24:09He mumbled in the haze between sleep and waking.
24:12Iliana.
24:15Blair, I'm here.
24:17I've always been here.
24:19He woke up the next morning, to sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
24:24His head was pounding.
24:26The hangover made his thoughts feel like sludge.
24:29He slowly opened his eyes, and saw a spill of black hair on the pillow, next to him.
24:34Not Iliana's wavy, chestnut hair.
24:36This was straight and jet black.
24:38He shot up, suddenly half sober.
24:40It was Lucia.
24:42The sheet had stayed down to her waist.
24:44Her shoulders were bare.
24:45Fragments of the night before flash in his mind.
24:48Lucia crying, saying she was scared of being alone.
24:51That she'd always loved him.
24:52She kissed him.
24:53And then...
24:54God.
24:55Blair cursed, rubbing his temples hard.
24:58He instinctively grabbed his phone.
25:00No messages from Iliana.
25:02That wasn't right.
25:04Usually, if he was gone for half a day on business, she'd text him, asking what he was doing, what
25:10he'd eaten, if he missed her.
25:11Sometimes a dozen messages a day, just all that little stuff.
25:15He used to find it a little annoying.
25:17Now, the silence was unnerving.
25:20Why hadn't she sent a single text this time?
25:22Did she really not care about the divorce?
25:25Just then, Lucia stood beside him.
25:27She slowly opened her eyes, and a satisfied smile spread across her face when she saw him sitting there.
25:34Good morning, Blair.
25:36Lucia, I'm sorry. I was drunk last night. We shouldn't have...
25:40What the hell is that supposed to mean?
25:42I mean...
25:44Last night was a mistake. We were both drunk.
25:47A mistake? You're trying to brush me off with that?
25:49She tried to get out of bed, but her legs gave out, and she nearly fell.
25:53Blair instinctively caught her, then immediately let go, as if he had been burned.
25:57That small action was the final straw.
25:59Blair Russo, how long are you going to keep up this act?
26:03The devoted husband act? Did you forget?
26:06It was Iliana's old man who put a gun to your family's head to make you marry her.
26:10No, that's not how it was. I was the one who went after Ilana.
26:13You don't even love her.
26:15She didn't believe in love, was only willing to do a contract marriage for a friend's sake.
26:20I was the one who pursued her, who convinced her to give me her heart.
26:23You're lying!
26:26You told me I was the one you loved. You wrote me a love letter, didn't you?
26:30His words stabbed Lucia like a knife. Her face went pale, her eyes filling with tears.
26:35Blair stood rooted to the spot, his palms slick with cold sweat.
26:39A love letter. He had never written her a love letter.
26:42The only one he had ever written was for Iliana, but he never gave it to her.
26:47He had no idea how it ended up in Lucia's hands, but he couldn't say that. Not now.
26:52Lucia, listen to me.
26:53I don't want to hear your excuses. You're divorced now. Why can't you be with me?
26:59Do all those years mean nothing?
27:02She started sobbing, hysterically, her whole body shaking.
27:06Suddenly, she runs for the vanity and grabs the fruit knife.
27:10Lucia, what are you doing?
27:13She didn't answer. She pressed the blade to her own throat.
27:16The sharp edge left a thin red line on her pale skin.
27:20If you don't do what I say, I'll kill myself.
27:22Alright, alright, just calm down, okay?
27:24If you leave me, I'll die right here.
27:26Okay, okay, I won't leave. I'll stay, I'll stay with you. Just put the knife down.
27:30Hearing that, the crazed look in her eyes slowly faded.
27:34She lowered the knife, then collapsed into his arms, crying like a child.
27:39I know I'm terrible, I'm selfish, but I really do love you. Just stay with me for a while.
27:44Just until you figure out what you really want. Please?
27:47Okay, I'll stay.
27:49Lucia's tears tend to a smile.
27:51She immediately grabbed his phone.
27:53Before Blair could react, she had his contacts open and was deleting a name.
27:58What are you doing?
27:59Deleting everything, Aliana. This way you can be with me in peace. No distractions.
28:04Blair watched as Aileen's phone number, her private messages, her email address, all of it disappeared one by one.
28:11A strange panic seized him that he'd already given his word.
28:15He could only watch as her name was erased from his life.
28:18What are you doing?
28:18You're okay.
28:18You're right.
28:18I'm not sure you can 25 seconds.
28:18You're right.
28:18The second plane that you're on the plane.
28:18The next plane that you're on the plane is a plane.
28:18You
