Short filmTranscript
00:00Has a savage tradition known as the claiming rooted in old honor codes and mafia control
00:05It demands the groom steal his bride away at midnight fighting through her family's guards to prove his power and
00:10right to her
00:11I waited three years for Dominic at last he and his men slipped into my courtyard
00:15I was ready to run to him until I heard his hushed order grab Bianca in the chaos
00:20She's fragile if she's sold off to the don of the Valentino family to settle the debt
00:24She won't survive the night as for Elena. She'll fight like hell. She'll keep herself safe. The men hesitated
00:29Dominic, you and Elena are already married. If she finds out, she'll burn this place to the ground
00:35Let her. It's dark enough. A case of mistaken identity during the claiming will be easy to explain
00:41I'll calm her down later. He paused, his voice turning icy
00:45Besides, the marriage license she signed was a forgery. I promised Bianca a safe life in Palermo
00:51She's my priority. I heard every word from behind the door. I didn't scream. I didn't cry
00:56I just slipped back into the room. They'd expected me to fight, to hurt anyone who tried to take me
01:03Instead, I silently climbed onto the back of the man who'd broken into my chamber
01:08And became his bride
01:10Elena, my contact at the registry checked
01:13You... you weren't actually Dominic's legal wife
01:17Something inside my chest shattered
01:19I'd lived as Dominic's wife for five years
01:21All that time, the Russo family never accepted me
01:25His mother never used my name
01:27Only ever referring to me as
01:28That girl
01:29At family galas, I was always seated at the farthest table
01:33In official portraits, I was placed at the edge so I could be easily cropped out
01:37Dominic said his mother wouldn't let up until I broke
01:40So he sent me back to the Moretti estate
01:42He promised he'd follow our traditions
01:44And complete the formal claiming ritual to bring me back as his Donna
01:47Then, the Russo family would have no choice but to accept me
01:51I waited
01:52For three years I'd held my tongue
01:54Longing for this knight
01:56But he'd come for another woman
01:57He'd kept me deceived for years with a forged marriage license
02:01All to hide the truth
02:02The one he truly meant to claim
02:04Was my half-sister, Bianca
02:06I stared at my reflection
02:08My face was empty
02:09Shouts exploded in the courtyard
02:11The ritual had begun
02:15Laughter rang out
02:16Boots thudded against stone
02:17And guards put on a show of resisting
02:19Ritual torches painted half the sky red
02:22All the excitement was for them
02:24The celebration was for Bianca
02:26The other group of men had come from the Valentino family
02:29They'd originally come for Bianca
02:31By the rules of the ritual
02:32If a woman didn't want to be taken
02:34She could hide and send them away empty-handed
02:36But Bianca didn't hide
02:38She waited in her room to be taken
02:40And the man she waited for
02:42Was my husband
02:43The room I was in wasn't mine
02:44It was Bianca's
02:46That afternoon
02:46My stepmother pulled me aside
02:48For once
02:49Her voice was gentle
02:50Elena
02:50Stay in Bianca's room tonight
02:52Yours is too far back
02:53Too quiet
02:54They'll never find you
02:55The men coming for Bianca are savages
02:57You've always been tough
02:59You can handle the rough play
03:00Bianca is fragile
03:02If she gets caught in the crossfire
03:04It'll be a disaster
03:05I said nothing
03:06I knew exactly what she meant
03:08By the rules of the claiming
03:09The groom's men would storm in
03:11The woman was expected to fight and struggle
03:13It was called the gauntlet
03:14The harder she fought
03:15The more valuable she was considered
03:17The groom had to prove he could take her by force
03:20Those punches and shoves were real
03:22My stepmother studied my face
03:24Testing me
03:25Besides
03:25Dominic has never been to the Meretti estate at night
03:28The front room
03:28He'll find you faster
03:30Back then
03:31I'd only wanted to make things easier for Dominic
03:33I agreed
03:34I even texted him my room location
03:37But they'd been planning this switch all along
03:40A roar of celebration erupted outside
03:42We got her!
03:43The bride is ours!
03:44Laughter and cheering rang out
03:46Followed by the sharp crack of celebratory gunfire
03:48I listened but didn't move
03:50I knew exactly who they'd taken
03:52I could picture Dominic carrying Bianca through the crowd
03:55His men shielding them as guests hurled objects and blocked their path
03:59Bianca would hide her face against his back
04:01Pretending to struggle
04:02How perfect
04:03I lowered my gaze
04:05Moments later
04:06My door was kicked in
04:07A group of men flooded into the dark room
04:10Their footsteps heavy and chaotic
04:11Someone seized my arm
04:13Hands began shoving and striking me
04:16I felt fists slam into my shoulders and back
04:18This was the gauntlet
04:20The harder the beating
04:21The more the family valued the bride
04:22I didn't flinch or resist
04:24I let them yank me from my chair
04:26And drag me towards the door
04:27At first it felt like a formality
04:29But the violence quickly turned ugly
04:33Someone slammed my arm against the stone wall
04:40Fists began hammering my ribs with real, cruel force
04:44This was intentional
04:45The pain was excruciating
04:48But I didn't make a sound
04:49I should have known you were tough, Elena
04:51I finally understood what my stepmother had meant by calling me tough
04:55Just when I thought it would never end
04:57Someone stepped in to shield me
05:01Enough
05:01It was a stranger's voice
05:04Sharp with fury
05:06He blocked the others
05:08Shoving the attacker's back with his arms
05:11That's the way it works
05:12The harder we hit
05:14The more she's worth
05:15What rule?
05:17His voice dropped to a dangerous growl
05:20This isn't your wife!
05:22If someone was beating your woman like a dog
05:24Would you just stand there and watch?
05:26The room went silent
05:28He glanced back at me
05:30In the shadows
05:31I could only make out the sharp line of his jaw
05:34Then he bent down and hoisted me onto his back
05:38Who is he?
05:39He's taking this ritual way too seriously
05:41He carried me out in long, steady strides
05:43People chased after us
05:45Throwing things and blocking the way
05:47But his grip on my legs never wavered
05:50When he finally carried me out of my private courtyard
05:52He paused to catch his breath
05:57In the distance
05:59The faint glow of ritual torches moved
06:01That was the other group
06:03Through the bushes
06:04I heard their laughter
06:06Dominic was at the front
06:07Sweat soaked but wearing a triumphant smile
06:10Bianca was on his back
06:12Her arms wrapped tight around his neck
06:14His men were cheering
06:18I lay silent on the stranger's back
06:20As they drew near
06:23Torchlight flickered across my face
06:25Dominic's eyes flicked over me
06:27And they threw me for a split second
06:29Then his gaze moved on
06:31Turning back to his men
06:32As he joked and laughed
06:33He didn't recognize me
06:36Bianca whispered something in his ear
06:38And he leaned in with a soft smile
06:41I suddenly thought back to three years ago
06:43When I'd returned to the Moretti estate
06:45To visit my father and stayed for a while
06:47The first time Dominic came to find me there
06:49He'd worn that exact same smile
06:51That day my father's men put him to the test
06:54They blocked him at the gates and roughed him up
06:56Just to see if a Russo truly cared for a Moretti girl
06:59He'd shown up at my door with a split lip and bruised ribs
07:03I asked if it hurt
07:04For my wife I'd take a lot worse
07:07He was a spoiled Russo heir who'd never been hurt before
07:10Yet he'd taken a beating from my father's men
07:12Just for me
07:13He always acted like it was nothing
07:15But I knew the truth
07:16My father's men didn't go easy on outsiders
07:19Another time it poured rain
07:22He showed up soaked to the bone
07:24His shirt torn
07:25But the pastries tucked inside his jacket were still dry
07:29I called him an idiot for coming out in weather like that
07:32Didn't want you to wait too long
07:34I held those pastries
07:36Staring at the cut on his cheek and thought
07:38This is the man I'll spend my life with
07:41But now he carried Bianca with that exact same smile
07:45Come on Bianca
07:47My vision blurred for a second
07:49Then sharpened again
07:51You're not gonna drop me are you?
07:52No never
07:52Are you sure?
07:53Yes
07:53Are you sure?
07:56Yes
07:56Probably three years ago
07:57When my father died
07:58I felt completely hollow inside
08:00I'll handle it
08:01Dominic cancelled everything to stay at the Moretti estate with me for two weeks
08:05Non salciare
08:06The day he had to leave
08:07He took my hand and spoke softly
08:10Elena
08:10You just got through the funeral and you look awful
08:12If my mother sees you like this she'll start on you again
08:15I don't want you putting up with that
08:16Just stay here at the estate and rest
08:18You've always wanted to take over the family business
08:19Right?
08:20I'll go back and smooth things over at home
08:22Then come get you
08:23I looked at him and nodded
08:24I was truly exhausted from the constant fighting with his mother
08:27Back then I believed he was looking out for me
08:30That he didn't want me to go back and face those cold stares
08:33Only later did I realize distance doesn't create beauty
08:36It just makes it easier for him to love someone else
08:39Last year when Mrs. Russo turned 60
08:41Dominic came to bring me back
08:43The moment I stepped inside I saw my stepsister Bianca
08:46She was supposed to be in Palermo for work
08:49But there she was in the living room arranging fruit
08:51Her movements smooth and familiar
08:53So she lived here now
08:55Dominic paused while taking off his shoes and explained
08:58Bianca's workplace is near our house
09:00She's staying here temporarily
09:01There wasn't a trace of guilt in his voice
09:04And I didn't push for more
09:05My stepmother had married into the Moretti family
09:08Long after Bianca and I were grown
09:09We'd never been close
09:11Over the years we'd only seen each other during holidays
09:13I couldn't quite put into words how I felt about her staying there
09:17Hey sis
09:19Don't worry
09:20I'm just crashing here for a bit
09:21I'll move out once I find a place
09:23I nodded but said nothing
09:25Back then I never could have imagined
09:27For three years I waited alone in the empty Moretti estate
09:30And all that time my little sister had been working in the Russo house
09:34Now watching Bianca on Dominic's back
09:37It all suddenly clicked
09:38I hadn't been waiting for him to bring me home at all
09:41I'd been waiting for my heart to die
09:43Bianca's voice drifted closer on the wind
09:45What about Elena?
09:47If she finds out she'll lose it
09:48She's all bark and no bite
09:50She'll get over it after throwing a fit
09:52He paused, his voice lowering
09:54It's pitch black during the claiming
09:56I just made a mistake
09:58She'll feel sorry for me before she even gets angry
10:01Once she finds out I'll just smooth it over
10:04Bianca laughed softly
10:06My knuckles whitened
10:07One of his men spoke up suddenly
10:09Kappa, what if someone else claimed Elena?
10:12The group fell quiet
10:13Then Dominic laughed
10:14You think she'd let anyone take her without a fight?
10:17With that temper of hers she'll tear the place apart tonight
10:19True, no way Elena goes quietly
10:21Feel sorry for that poor bastard
10:23Wonder what he looks like now
10:25The laughter swelled
10:26I looked down
10:28Let's go
10:29He must have heard everything
10:30Heard them laughing about me
10:32Heard how they thought I'd tear the roof off
10:35But he said nothing
10:36He just kept walking
10:37At the gate of the Moretti estate
10:40We ran straight into them
10:41Torchlight flickered over us
10:44Luca, yeah?
10:46It really is you
10:48You claiming someone tonight too?
10:50Yeah
10:52Which family?
10:55A neighbor family
10:58Caso, man
10:59Always figured you'd stay single forever
11:01Congrats
11:03Dominic took a step forward
11:05I felt his gaze linger on my back
11:07That look lasted too long
11:09Long enough I almost thought he'd recognized me
11:13Let's go
11:14Wait!
11:18Dominic
11:19My ankle hurts
11:21What's wrong?
11:22Did you twist it earlier?
11:24I don't know
11:25It just aches
11:27Let's go
11:28We need to get to your place before sunrise
11:30Dominic didn't waste another second
11:32I'm gonna run
11:32I'll buy you a drink next time
11:36Their footsteps faded into the distance
11:42He really didn't recognize you
11:44I rested my face against his shoulder and said nothing
11:47My eyes stung
11:49His pace slowed
11:51Steps gentle and steady
11:52The moon was bright
11:53The road stretched on
11:55I had no idea where he was taking me
11:57But in that moment I thought
11:59Anywhere was better than going back
12:02Music filled the Russo estate hall
12:05The whole place buzzed with celebration
12:07Wine flowed freely
12:09And couples danced to old songs
12:11This was the party after a successful claiming
12:15By tradition
12:16It would last until sunrise
12:17Dominic sat at the edge of the crowd
12:19Phone in hand
12:20No messages from Elena
12:23That wasn't like her
12:25She never kept things bottled up
12:28If she found out I claimed the wrong woman
12:30She would have called screaming by now
12:31I already had my excuses
12:34It was pitch black
12:36Don't overthink it
12:37You're the only one I want
12:39I'll wait for her to blow up over the phone
12:41Then talk her down gently
12:43She'd hurl some threat
12:44And he'd smooth it over
12:46Done
12:46She never stayed mad at me for long
12:49But this time
12:50No call
12:51No text
12:52No yelling
12:55Capo
12:55Still waiting Elena
12:56Don't bother
12:57Signal's shit out here
12:59Her area gets fine signal
13:00Then her phone's probably dead
13:02Or she didn't see it
13:03She's probably off beating someone up right now
13:07Dominic stayed quiet
13:09Elena had once told him
13:10I set a special ringtone for your messages
13:12Don't want to miss them
13:15I'd sit out in the courtyard till midnight
13:17Just waiting for you to call
13:20He didn't believe
13:21She didn't see it
13:23But he had no better explanation
13:25Alright
13:25Quit overthinking
13:26This is your big night
13:27Your bride's waiting for you
13:29What are you doing sitting here?
13:31Tradition says once you've claimed her
13:33You stay with her all night
13:34Finish the ritual
13:35I told Beyoncé this was temporary
13:38I just got her out of there
13:39I didn't plan on
13:40Didn't plan on what?
13:41Capo
13:41This is the claiming
13:42Not a game
13:43You took her
13:44You finish it
13:45Otherwise you insult her whole family
13:46Besides
13:47You and Elena have been together for years
13:49She won't care about formalities
13:51Just get through tonight
13:52Dominic opened his mouth to argue
13:54What are you guys talking about?
13:56Dominic froze
13:57Dominic
13:57I know this one's fake
13:59But
13:59Can we at least finish the ritual?
14:02Her eyes glistening
14:03I know you love Elena
14:06But can you pretend I'm your bride?
14:08Just tonight
14:10Dominic said nothing
14:11Bianca bowed her head
14:13Her lashes fluttering
14:15Toast the bride
14:16Toast the bride
14:19Toast the bride
14:20Dominic picked up his glass
14:22Linking arms with Bianca
14:23Light danced across both their faces
14:26Cheers and laughter erupted around them
14:29Loud enough to rattle the walls
14:31His eyes kept straying to the dark road
14:33Beyond the estate
14:34The same road he'd carried Bianca down tonight
14:37At the gate
14:38He ran into Luca Santoro
14:40They met years ago at a family party
14:45They had a few drinks together
14:48Acquaintances at best
14:49That man had been quiet but steady
14:51The kind of man you could trust with your life
14:53Tonight Luca had been carrying someone too
14:56Said she was from another family
14:57She was thin
14:58Lying quietly on Luca's back
15:00Only a glimpse of her neck was visible
15:02The line of that neck
15:03The curve of her bowed head
15:05It had felt strangely familiar
15:07But Bianca had cried out in pain
15:09So he hadn't thinked again
15:11Dominic?
15:12Dominic?
15:13Is that okay?
15:15Yeah
15:15Then he stepped aside
15:17Pulled out his phone
15:19And dialed Elena's number
15:20He needed to explain
15:21To make sure she didn't misunderstand
15:28Finally
15:29Someone picked up
15:30Hello?
15:32Background noise
15:33Sounds of people moving things
15:37Dominic blinked
15:39Let me talk to Elena
15:42Elena?
15:45She's not here
15:47We're packing up her stuff
15:48To send over
15:50Send over?
15:52Send where?
15:53Elena never lets her phone
15:54Leave her hand
15:55Where are you sending her things?
15:56The woman hesitated
15:57Not expecting the question
16:00I'm Elena's aunt
16:01We have to pack her things
16:02And send to her husband's house
16:03Husband's house?
16:05So Elena was preparing
16:07To move back in with me?
16:08That made sense?
16:09He'd always planned
16:10To bring her back
16:11After the claiming
16:12Stopped leaving her
16:13At the Merathi estate alone
16:15Auntie
16:16About the claiming tonight
16:17There was a bit of a mix up
16:19Did Elena say anything?
16:21No, several families
16:22Did claiming tonight
16:23What would Elena have to say?
16:25Despite the words
16:25A sense of unease
16:27Surged in him
16:27Oh, I can't talk anymore
16:29We're busy packing
16:30Both Elena and Bianca
16:32Were taken tonight
16:33We have to get their things ready
16:35Dominic froze
16:36What did she mean?
16:38Both were taken
16:39Didn't I only take Bianca?
16:41As for Elena
16:42She would never go with someone
16:43She didn't love
16:44Auntie
16:45You said Elena was taken?
16:47Yes
16:47By the Santori family
16:49Dominic's throat tightened
16:50He couldn't speak
16:51He suddenly remembered something
16:53And his mind exploded
16:56Santori?
16:58Luca?
16:59The man he met at the gate
17:00The one carrying a girl
17:01Saying she was his bride
17:03That silhouette
17:04That looked so familiar
17:06Elena
17:07She didn't fight?
17:08Fight?
17:09Why would she?
17:11A claiming isn't a bad thing
17:12She was as quiet as she could be
17:14She just went with him
17:15We all thought it was strange
17:17With her temper
17:18Shouldn't she have beaten the man?
17:19But nothing happened
17:20She just let him carry her away
17:22Dominic's hand began to shake
17:24Quiet as she could be
17:26Just let him carry her away
17:28No, that wasn't Elena
17:31No, that wasn't Elena
17:33That wasn't the Elena I knew
17:35He remembered talking to Elena
17:37About claimings before
17:38She had sat on his doorstep
17:40Swinging her legs
17:41Speaking excitedly
17:43The girls in Moretti family
17:45If they're claimed by someone
17:46They don't like
17:47They don't just let them
17:48They kick, bite, and scratch
17:50They fight until the man
17:52Gives up himself
17:53You're so wild
17:54Who would dare claim you?
17:58Well, it depends on who's coming
18:01If it's you
18:05I'd just put on a show
18:07Of struggling a little
18:08For appearances
18:10Just a little?
18:12Three times at most
18:14If you came to claim me
18:15I'd probably be the first
18:16To jump on your back
18:17So you wouldn't have to
18:18Take those hits
18:18This girl is so foolish
18:20Auntie Elena
18:22When was she taken?
18:25When?
18:25Tonight
18:26Right after you left
18:27Dominic opened his mouth
18:29But not a single word came out
18:30Hello?
18:32Dominic?
18:33Are you still there?
18:34I'm here
18:35Why are you asking so much?
18:37Elena's husband will take care of her
18:39You claimed Bianca tonight, didn't you?
18:41That poor girl's had it rough
18:42Take good care of her
18:44Alright, I have to go
18:45We're still packing
18:46Elena left in such a hurry
18:48She forgot so many things
18:49We have to get them to her
18:50Bye now
18:51The line went dead
18:52The dial tone rang in his ears
18:54A steady, hammering sound
18:56Over and over
18:57He stood at the edge of the crowd
18:59White-knuckling his phone
19:01Around him were songs
19:02Laughter
19:03Music
19:04All the noise of celebration
19:06Someone walked past
19:07Slapping his shoulder in congratulations
19:09Someone shoved a drink into his hand
19:11Tugging him toward the dance floor
19:13Bianca waved at him from across the fire
19:15A soft smile on her face
19:17But he couldn't hear a thing
19:18While he'd been carrying Bianca away
19:20Elena had been lying on another man's back
19:23They had passed each other in the dark
19:24He'd thought she would fight
19:26Scream
19:27Resist
19:28But she did nothing
19:29Capo
19:30Where the hell are you going?
19:32To get my wife
19:33What wife?
19:35You claim Bianca tonight
19:36You walk out now
19:37You insult the whole Moretti family
19:39This was temporary
19:42Getting Bianca out of a bad situation
19:44That's it
19:44Temporary?
19:45Capo, you completed the ritual
19:47The whole Palermo knows Bianca's yours now
19:49You leave her tonight
19:50She's got no standing
19:51No protection
19:53Bianca stood by the fire
19:54Watching him
19:55Eyes uncertain
19:57One night
19:58Stay tonight
19:59Keep up appearances
20:01Tomorrow you can do whatever you want
20:03But tonight
20:05You owe Bianca that much
20:06Dominic clenched his fists
20:08Then slowly let go
20:10He walked back to the fire
20:14Where were you going?
20:17Nowhere
20:18Bianca lowered her head
20:19Not asking more
20:20That night he sat by the fire
20:22Watching the flames flicker and die
20:24He watched the people come and go
20:26Watched the moon rise and slowly set
20:28He called Elena countless times
20:30It was always off
20:33At dawn he rose and left
20:35Dominic!
20:36He didn't look back
20:38He drove back to Corleone
20:41The sun was just rising
20:42The hounds were baying
20:44And the morning mist was lifting
20:45From the vineyards
20:46He stopped an old groundskeeper
20:48And asked where Luca's villa was
20:50The man pointed toward a newly built villa
20:53At the foot of the hill
20:54He ran over
20:55The iron gates stood open
20:57But the house was empty
21:01Looking for Don Luca?
21:03He left at dawn with his new bride
21:04Said there was urgent family business
21:06And had to return
21:07Dominic stood frozen in place
21:14Dominic stood before that empty house
21:16For a long time without moving
21:18He pulled out his phone
21:20And called Elena again
21:22Still off
21:23He scrolled through his contacts
21:25And realized he didn't even have Luca's number
21:28They were never close
21:29He didn't know where Luca lived
21:31What city he was in
21:32He knew nothing
21:33He only remembered last night
21:35The way Elena had lain so quietly
21:37On that man's back
21:38He rushed back to the Russo estate
21:40Picked up Bianca
21:41And headed back to Palermo
21:43The whole way
21:44Bianca was quiet
21:45Occasionally glancing at him
21:47Wanting to speak
21:48He didn't want to talk
21:49So she didn't ask
21:51But Elena wasn't at their home
21:53He had failed again
21:54In the days that followed
21:56His mind was still trapped
21:57In that claiming
22:01Just a little more
22:02Just a little more
22:03And he could have stopped his woman
22:04From being taken
22:08Dominic
22:09She no longer called him
22:10Brother-in-law
22:12She held a cup of warm milk
22:14You haven't eaten much
22:15These past few days
22:17Drink some milk
22:18Thank you
22:19Bianca didn't leave
22:20She sat beside him
22:21I need to talk to you
22:23Your mother refused to let you
22:25Legally marry my sister
22:26That was her condition
22:27For tolerating the relationship
22:29So you gave Elena
22:30A fake certificate
22:31To make her believe
22:32You were committed
22:34Then
22:35To save me
22:36From the Valentino family
22:37You
22:38A-registered
22:39A real marriage
22:40With me
22:41Bianca lowered her head
22:43Her lashes trembling
22:44You claimed me
22:45In front of the families
22:47Completed the ritual
22:48Made me your Donna
22:50Dominic
22:51Since it has come to this
22:52Why don't we simply be together
22:54Dominic froze
22:56What did you say?
22:57Do you dare say
22:58You don't truly like me?
23:00You legally married me
23:03You completed the claiming ritual
23:05You made me your Donna
23:08You say it was to save me
23:10From Valentino
23:10But you never had to go that far
23:12Just admit it
23:14You like me
23:15I
23:16As for Elena
23:17She's just not right for you
23:19All she cares about
23:20Is her dad's business
23:21She never even thinks
23:22About helping you
23:23With your work
23:24Or fitting in with your crowd
23:25What's she even gonna give you?
23:27But I'm different
23:28I know what you want
23:30And I know how to make
23:31Your mom happy
23:31I can give you way more
23:33Than she ever could
23:35Dominic looked into those eyes
23:37That were nothing like Elena's
23:39Elena's eyes were bright
23:40Like stars in the mountains
23:41No secrets
23:42No pretense
23:43Happy was happy
23:44Sad was sad
23:46Plain and simple
23:47But Bianca's eyes were soft
23:49Like a pool of water
23:50That could pull you under
23:51Before you even realized it
23:53He suddenly asked himself
23:54Back when he'd go to the
23:55Moretti estate
23:56Bringing things for Elena
23:58Did he always bring a little
23:59Something for Bianca too?
24:02And later when Bianca said her sister
24:04Got the family business
24:05She had to find work
24:07Was it just because he felt sorry
24:09For how fragile she seemed
24:10That he let her move into his home?
24:12He wasn't sure anymore
24:13Was that casual kindness
24:15He'd shown her over the past three years
24:17Really just a coincidence?
24:19And when he saw Bianca smile
24:20Was that feeling in his chest
24:22Really just the affection of a brother?
24:24He didn't know when it started
24:26Or perhaps he always knew
24:27But refused to admit it
24:29He only knew one thing for certain
24:31Elena was the one he was supposed to marry
24:33The wife he chose
24:34The girl he was willing to give up everything
24:38Dominic snapped back
24:39Looking at her
24:40But thinking of Elena
24:41Thinking of her lying on that man's back
24:43Thinking of how she hadn't said a word
24:45Thinking of how she hadn't even bothered to struggle
24:47His heart felt as if a piece had been savagely carved out
24:50So the mistaken identity
24:52He thought no one knew
24:54Elena had seen it all
24:55So she walked away in the other direction
25:00Not long after his mother arrived
25:02Walked in already lecturing
25:04Since you and Bianca are registered
25:06Just live your lives
25:07Why are you constantly thinking about that woman
25:10Who ran off with another man
25:12And hasn't even come home
25:13Dominic knew she would say this
25:15In these three years
25:16Bianca had charmed her well
25:18She made her almost forget
25:19Who it was that used to be insulted in the kitchen
25:22Who worked until midnight without a word of thanks
25:25Bianca knew how to act cute
25:26How to speak softly
25:28How to buy expensive gifts to make her smile
25:30And Elena?
25:31Elena didn't know these things
25:33Elena only knew how to work hard
25:35How to be good to him
25:36How to stand there and wait to be seen
25:38But she was never seen
25:40Mother
25:42Elena didn't run off
25:44If that isn't running off, what is?
25:47She was claimed
25:48Claiming our normal out there
25:50If she had you in her heart
25:51Why hasn't she come back?
25:53Because I have no right to ask her to
25:55His mother froze
25:57Back then
25:58You said the only condition for accepting her
26:01Was not registering the marriage
26:04So
26:04The contract I had with her was fake
26:07From beginning to end
26:08She was never truly my wife
26:10Since she isn't back
26:11I have no standing to look for her
26:13If she wants to marry someone else
26:16His throat tightened
26:18I don't even have the right to object
26:20Then who do you blame?
26:22I did interfere with the registration
26:23But the rest was your choice
26:25If you didn't like Bianca
26:26Why did you claim her?
26:28Why did you register with her?
26:29Dominic's throat choked
26:31He couldn't explain
26:33Claiming Bianca was to help her leave
26:35Registering was for her status
26:36But saying those things now felt pathetic
26:39Even to him
26:40By helping her
26:41He had lost himself
26:42I'm telling you
26:44Everyone in the family knows about you and Bianca
26:46You legally married that girl
26:48You claimed her in front of the families
26:51You made her your Donna
26:53And now you want to discard her?
26:55What does that say about the Russo family?
26:59We're divorced
27:01What?
27:03We divorced two months ago
27:05I couldn't live with her
27:08Then what do you want to do now?
27:10What did he want?
27:11He wanted to laugh
27:12He wanted to find Elena
27:13But with what?
27:14He didn't even know if she still hated him
27:16He didn't even have the chance to use a divorce
27:18To force her to see him
27:20Three years later
27:21You're either locked in the Moretti estate
27:23Or driving across Sicily chasing a ghost
27:24Get out for once
27:26Dominic
27:27Every family sends someone tonight
27:29You should show your face
27:30The hall was crowded with the elite
27:32Of the most powerful syndicates
27:35Dominic wandered through it aimlessly
27:37Eyes passing over each face
27:39And moving on
27:40Three years
27:41He thought sometimes
27:42After her father died
27:43She had nobody left
27:44Maybe that's why she never went back to Moretti estate
27:47She'd had him once
27:48But what had he done with that?
27:50He'd made her wait three years
27:51Then carried another woman out
27:53Right in front of her
27:54What had he actually given her?
27:56A fake marriage license?
27:58Empty words
27:59Three years of his mother's contempt
28:01He'd watched every bit of it
28:03And never once stepped in front of it
28:05And in the end
28:07On what should have been
28:08The best night of her life
28:09He walked away from her for good
28:11Was she somewhere doing well now?
28:13Had she already forgotten him?
28:21Dominic
28:21Isn't that Elena?
28:23The man was in a black shirt
28:25Focused
28:26Unhurried
28:26The woman beside him
28:30She was speaking to someone
28:32And her eyes curved into a smile
28:34That was the person he'd been looking for
28:36For three years
28:37Standing right there
28:38Close enough to see
28:41Elena
28:55Hello
28:56What can I help you with?
28:58Elena
28:59It's me
29:00She looked at him
29:01The way you look at someone
29:02You half recognize
29:03I'm sorry
29:04Do we know each me?
29:05I'm terrible with faces
29:06She looked at him again
29:07More carefully
29:09Mr. Russo
29:09It's been a while
29:11She genuinely hadn't recognized him
29:14Three years
29:15Dominic was gaunt
29:16And weathered
29:17No longer the handsome
29:18Dashing man he had once been
29:19Luca looked up then
29:21And glanced at him
29:22He said nothing
29:23Simply stepping closer
29:25To Elena's side
29:26It was a natural
29:27Protective stance
29:28You two
29:29Are you truly
29:31Truly together?
29:33Elena turned slightly
29:34To look at Luca
29:35That look was soft
29:37Certain
29:38And natural
29:40Mr. Russo
29:41Let me introduce you
29:42This is my wife
29:43During the claiming
29:44You met her
29:45Remember?
29:46Wife?
29:47That's
29:48How can that count?
29:49That was a mistake
29:50A blunder
29:51It was dark
29:52And I claimed the wrong person
29:53Claimed the wrong person?
29:54Mr. Russo
29:55In our tradition
29:56A claiming isn't a kidnapping
29:57It's a silent agreement
29:59Between families
30:00If the girl doesn't want it
30:01Can she be taken?
30:04If she truly didn't want to go
30:07She would have beat me
30:08Until my own mother
30:08Didn't recognize me
30:13The words were a knife
30:14In Dominic's chest
30:15He remembered what
30:16Elena had said
30:17If it's someone I don't like
30:19I'll fight until
30:20He don't recognize himself
30:21But the truth was
30:22She had lain quietly
30:24On Luca's back
30:25Without a single sound
30:26He stood there
30:27Watching Elena
30:28Turn her head
30:29To meet the other man's gaze
30:30If you're here on Russo business
30:32I can point you
30:32To the right people
30:33If not
30:34You're in the way
30:37Elena
30:38Listen to me
30:39Listen to what?
30:39Listen to you say
30:40The marriage was fake?
30:41Listen to you tell me
30:42About your plan
30:43To swap brides
30:43So the fragile Bianca
30:44Wouldn't suffer?
30:45You
30:46You heard all that?
30:49Mr. Russo
30:51Meeting today is fate
30:52But it doesn't mean
30:53You can harass my wife
30:55Luca
30:56She's my wife
30:58Luca said nothing
30:59Only looked down
31:00At Elena
31:01He had explained this
31:02To his wife before
31:03That night
31:04He had followed the crew
31:06To the Maradi estate
31:07But not for himself
31:08His cousin had wanted Bianca
31:11And dragged him along
31:12For support
31:13He couldn't refuse
31:14So he went
31:15But at the edge
31:16Of the estate
31:17The cousin suddenly
31:18Clutched clutched
31:19His stomach
31:20His face pale
31:22I can't
31:23I can't
31:25That wine at lunch
31:25Was bad
31:26I need a place
31:27He waved him off
31:28You go ahead
31:29Find Bianca
31:29And hide her
31:30Actually
31:30She doesn't like me
31:31I just wanted to try
31:33If she'd accept me
31:34If she won't
31:35We'll just leave
31:36Don't let her suffer
31:37With that
31:38He vanished into the trees
31:39Luca stood in the darkness
31:41Feeling ridiculous
31:44He came to help
31:45With a claiming
31:46And the groom
31:47Had run off
31:49He stood there
31:50Not knowing
31:51Whether to stay
31:51Or go
31:53Later
31:54He went in
31:56Not to claim anyone
31:57But to find Bianca
32:05And tell her to hide
32:08Luca said nothing
32:09Only looked down at Elena
32:11He had explained this
32:12To his wife before
32:13That night
32:14He had followed the crew
32:16To the Moretti estate
32:17But not for himself
32:18His cousin had wanted Bianca
32:20And dragged him along
32:21For support
32:21He couldn't refuse
32:22So he went
32:23I can't
32:24I can't
32:24That wine at lunch
32:25Was bad
32:26I need a place
32:26He waved him off
32:27You go ahead
32:28Find Bianca
32:28And hide her
32:29Actually
32:29She doesn't like me
32:30I just wanted to try
32:31If she'd accept me
32:32If she won't
32:33We'll just leave
32:33Don't let her suffer
32:34With that
32:35He vanished in the darkness
32:36Feeling ridiculous
32:37He came to help
32:38With a claiming
32:39And the groom
32:40Had run off
32:40He stood there
32:41Not knowing
32:42Whether to stay
32:43Or go
32:44Later
32:45He went in
32:46Not to claim anyone
32:47But to find Bianca
32:49And tell her to hide
32:50Then another crew
32:52Poured through the door
32:52And started throwing
32:53Their weight around
32:54First it was the motions
32:56Then it started being rude
32:58She didn't move
32:59Didn't fight back
33:00Just sat there
33:01And took it
33:02He couldn't watch it
33:03He walked over
33:04Crouched down
33:05In front of her
33:06Do you want to leave
33:08She looked at him
33:09And her eyes
33:11Turned hung
33:11But she didn't crew
33:13She simply nended
33:14And climbed onto his back
33:16Perhaps that was fate
33:19If his cousin
33:20Hadn't had a stomach ache
33:21Perhaps in her despair
33:22She really would have
33:23Gone with
33:24Or perhaps
33:24After they found the mistake
33:26They would have
33:26Parted ways peacefully
33:27Treated the night
33:28As a blunder
33:29But there are no ifs
33:30He and Elena
33:31Decided to give each other
33:32A chance
33:32So they made
33:33The claiming real
33:34And so
33:35They found their
33:35Current happiness
33:36Elena suddenly called
33:37His name
33:38Her voice soft
33:39Didn't you get your wish
33:40And claim Bianca?
33:43Dominic's throat choked
33:45I
33:46Bianca
33:47He and Bianca
33:48Had divorced long ago
33:49But what point was there
33:51In saying that now?
33:52Elena
33:53I claimed the wrong one
33:54That night
33:55I was supposed to claim you
33:56I thought you'd fight
33:58I thought you'd
33:58I never imagined
33:59Bianca kind
34:00I'll give Benham back to you
34:01I'll give everything back to you
34:03Give Elena back to me
34:04Elena smiled
34:05A light, faint smile
34:06Dominic
34:07A claiming isn't a game
34:08In our traditions
34:09A mistake is the will of heaven
34:11Heaven willed me to go with him
34:12So I went
34:13Heaven willed me to go with him
34:15So I went
34:15You claimed Bianca
34:17And I married Luca
34:19We're even
34:21Dominic stood there
34:22Shaking
34:23He saw Luca
34:23Gently put an arm
34:24Around her shoulder
34:25He wanted to chase them
34:27But he couldn't move
34:28In the crowd
34:29Elena's back
34:30Grew further and further away
34:32The rain came suddenly
34:33And the crowd began to disperse
34:36Dominic still stood there
34:37In the rain
34:38He suddenly remembered
34:39The summer years ago
34:41When he went to find Elena
34:42You fool
34:43I was afraid you'd be waiting
34:45Then
34:45Eyes bright like Shantan stars
34:47Dominic
34:48I'll wait for you
34:50Okay
34:50He'd made her wait for three years
34:52In the rain
34:53He suddenly laughed
34:54And he couldn't tell the rain
34:55He didn'tонд much
