00:00The night before my wedding, I got a keycard. Presidential suite. A penthouse in Manhattan.
00:05The place my fiancé, Don Nico Bellini, proposed. The place we first made love.
00:10I thought he wanted to relive that night. A pre-wedding surprise.
00:14Then I opened the door. All I saw was his back.
00:30It's nothing personal. I'm just tired of the act. You needed to see the real me before the wedding, so
00:35you don't give me any shit later.
00:37Don't worry. You'll still be the official Mrs. Bellini. You've been with me for ten years. Your hands aren't clean
00:42either.
00:42You did it all for my business. Who else in this city would have you?
00:46So, the wedding's tomorrow. As planned. I'll give you your spectacle.
00:51He thought I'd break. I just slipped his rock off my finger. The engagement ring. I put it on the
00:56table and walked away.
00:57The next day, Nico Bellini stood at the altar of St. Patrick's Cathedral, dressed like a king, waiting for me
01:03to bow.
01:04I didn't run. I didn't hide. I walked right up to him, on the arm of his greatest enemy.
01:14You wanted a wedding. Here it is. The marriage certificate? It belongs to him now.
01:27Serafina, over here. Look here. You're New York's top art consultant. How does it feel marrying the Don of the
01:32Bellucci family?
01:33A match made in heaven. The wedding of the century.
01:37Reporters, disguised as guests, swarmed the entrance to St. Patrick's Cathedral.
01:41Miss Vitale, your gallery has supplied high society with countless treasures.
01:46Today, you've become the most precious piece of art yourself.
01:50I ignored the camera flashes and the endless praise, walking toward the church, flanked by my bodyguards.
01:55He called me this morning.
01:56I'd fucked that woman all night, seven times.
02:01I needed to catch up on sleep to have enough energy for the wedding, so I couldn't come pick up
02:05my bride.
02:08He was so sure I'd come on my own. He walked toward me and gave me a light kiss on
02:12the lips.
02:14Baby, you finally made it.
02:17It's fine. I know you're a busy man.
02:20Yeah.
02:21Boss, that move last night was cold.
02:24Making her watch you with another woman, and she still shows up today, smiling in a wedding dress.
02:29Yeah, any other woman would have lost her mind. Our Donna's got guts.
02:32Of course she does.
02:34She's been with me for ten years. What hasn't she seen?
02:36Besides, who else in the city would dare to have her?
02:39Everyone here knew how much money I'd laundered for him over the last ten years.
02:43How many messes I'd cleaned up.
02:44My hands weren't clean.
02:45Like he said, who else would have me?
02:47Just then, his private phone rang.
02:50He glanced at the screen.
02:51A smile touched his lips.
02:55What's wrong? Didn't I tell you to call later?
02:57Nico, I'm flying to Paris this afternoon.
03:01I made an appointment at City Hall in ten minutes.
03:04Can you come?
03:06I want to have the certificate before I go.
03:09Ten minutes? In that much of a hurry?
03:12Boss?
03:12Who was that?
03:14Isla.
03:15She's flying to Paris.
03:16Insisted on getting the marriage license before she leaves.
03:19The way she begs for it?
03:21Unfucking real.
03:22What about the wedding?
03:23What about it?
03:24The ceremony will take an hour or two.
03:25I'll just swing by City Hall.
03:27It's a ten minute thing.
03:28You know how that little princess gets.
03:29If I don't keep her happy, she'll throw a tantrum at the airport.
03:33Here, get a picture of us.
03:35For the memories.
03:38Be good.
03:39I gotta go.
03:40Or I'll be late for the registry.
03:42You wait for me.
03:47Ten years of my youth.
03:49Ten years of love.
03:50All for last night's humiliation and today's wait for me.
03:53I felt clearer than I had in years.
03:55Nico Bellino!
03:57If you walk out that door today,
04:01I'm replacing the groom.
04:05What's wrong?
04:11Replacing the groom?
04:13Serafina, what do you think this is?
04:15Some cheap soap opera?
04:20Baby, don't make a scene.
04:23Who would you replace me with?
04:25In this entire city,
04:27what man would dare touch my woman?
04:29Of course,
04:30if you actually manage to find a man who will touch you,
04:32maybe I'll two prosers in.
04:34I'll let you have your fun.
04:35I told you.
04:36You're the only official Donna.
04:38Stop messing around.
04:39Those little strays on the outside?
04:41I'm just playing, okay?
04:44Boss, maybe you should make Isla wait?
04:46It's your big day with the Donna.
04:48That little princess is more of a handful.
04:50She's not going anywhere.
04:52She has nowhere else to go.
04:57I stood in front of the cathedral.
04:59The photographer beside me held his camera,
05:01awkwardly unsure of what to do.
05:02No one said a word.
05:03I looked down at my left hand.
05:05The ring finger was bare.
05:06Last night,
05:07I left the engagement ring on the hotel coffee table,
05:10right next to that woman's scattered lingerie.
05:12A slow smile spread across my face.
05:14Nico,
05:14if you're in such a hurry to register your marriage with another woman,
05:17then go.
05:18This multi-million dollar wedding of the century,
05:20I'll be happy to take it.
05:21Let's go inside.
05:22Donna?
05:23The wedding is about to start, isn't it?
05:25Or do you want to keep over 300 of New York's most important people waiting outside?
05:33The church was packed.
05:34The elite of New York high society were all here.
05:37Politicians,
05:38business magnates,
05:39art collectors,
05:39and representatives from every family.
05:41Everyone was waiting for the wedding of the century.
05:43The wedding march began to play its solemn tune.
05:46Everything was perfect,
05:47except the groom was missing.
05:48I heard Rocco and the others shuffling behind me.
05:51They had no idea what to do.
05:53Donna,
05:53the boss just had some family business to handle.
05:56He'll be right back.
05:57Why don't you sit for a bit?
05:58Yeah,
05:58yeah,
05:58the boss knows what he's doing.
05:59It's your wedding day.
06:00He won't be late.
06:01The boss was willing to throw this wedding for you.
06:03He's not going to let a few hundred million go to waste.
06:05I glanced at the antique clock at the front of the church.
06:08Fine.
06:09I'll wait for him.
06:12Quick,
06:12bring a glass of champagne from Adam.
06:15I'll wait,
06:16but it won't be for him.
06:20The waiting room was silent except for the ticking of the clock.
06:23I looked around,
06:24taking in every detail.
06:25The waterfall of white roses by the window.
06:28The crystal curtains hanging from the dome.
06:30Even the font on the guest cards was custom designed by the best in Europe,
06:33on his orders.
06:34That was Nico.
06:35When he did something,
06:36he did it to the extreme.
06:37It was true when he pursued me.
06:39And it was true for this wedding.
06:40He made this wedding the talk of the town,
06:42the dream of every woman.
06:43And he made his cheating just as extreme.
06:45The door to the dressing room burst open.
06:47My best friend,
06:48Chloe.
06:49Serafina!
06:50I just saw Nico drive off.
06:52It's your wedding day.
06:54Has he lost his mind?
06:56He's running off to get a marriage license with another woman?
07:01I thought he was just talking shit,
07:03but did he have to pick today?
07:05When you tried on your dress?
07:06I remembered that day.
07:08Nico was standing outside the dressing room.
07:10He saw me in the dress through a crack in the door,
07:12and his eyes instantly weltered up.
07:14I have never seen a more beautiful bride.
07:17I was so jealous of you back then.
07:18I wanted to punch my own loser boyfriend.
07:21Who would have thought he could turn around and pull a stunt like this?
07:23Just then, my phone buzzed.
07:25A notification from Instagram.
07:27I opened it.
07:28A new post from Isla.
07:32The photo showed clothes scattered on a luxurious bedspread,
07:35a woman's lace panties,
07:37and a magnificent wedding dress.
07:39An identical custom-made gown to the one I was wearing,
07:41but that dress was covered in white stains.
07:43I knew exactly what they were.
07:45Isla's caption was pure provocation.
07:47Someone said he'd only be 10 minutes,
07:49but now he won't leave.
07:51Says I'm his favorite toy,
07:53and he can't get enough of me.
07:55Isla, who are you trying to piss off?
07:58Whoever's sitting in a wedding dress
07:59waiting for a man who isn't coming.
08:01I took a screenshot.
08:03What?
08:04That bitch!
08:06Calm down.
08:07Calm down?
08:09Serafina, did you see what she posted?
08:11That whore is humiliating you.
08:13I saw it.
08:14I put the phone back in my purse.
08:15My movement's as composed
08:16as if I were handling a simple business contract.
08:19You came to New York from Chicago for him?
08:21Do you know how pissed your parents were?
08:23Back then, Nico Belinci was a nobody,
08:25and you bet 10 years on him against your parents.
08:28Now you've lost everything.
08:29You even used your father's connections
08:31to launder his money,
08:32to build his network,
08:33to get him where he is today.
08:35And he had the nerve to wait
08:36until the night before the wedding
08:37to show his true colors?
08:39Serafina, wake up!
08:40A man like that isn't worth it!
08:42I stood up and walked to the full-length mirror.
08:44The woman in the mirror wore a million-dollar dress.
08:46Her makeup was perfect.
08:47Her posture elegant,
08:48like a beautiful piece of art.
08:50Chloe, you're right.
08:51A 10-year bet.
08:52It's time to collect.
08:53You mean, you're going to break up with him?
08:56Break up?
08:56No.
08:57That's letting him off too easy.
08:59As for my parents,
09:00after the wedding is over,
09:01I'll go back and admit I lost.
09:03Today is the day I collect on all my bets.
09:09I calmed Chloe down,
09:10and I calmed myself down.
09:12I needed some air.
09:14I pushed open the French doors to the terrace
09:16and stepped outside.
09:17The New York autumn air was cool against my bare shoulders.
09:20As I was about to take a deep breath,
09:22I heard men's voices.
09:24The boss is playing with fire this time, huh?
09:26Is he really not coming back?
09:30What fire?
09:31He's got a siren wrapped around him.
09:32What's he supposed to do?
09:35Besides, the Donna is easier to handle
09:36than the little princess.
09:37The boss knows what he's doing.
09:41How long do you think the Donna will put up with it?
09:43Look at her today.
09:45The groom ditches her in front of all the media and guests,
09:47and she doesn't even flinch.
09:51With a Donna like that,
09:52the boss doesn't know how good he has it.
09:54So when is he coming back?
09:56The guests are all here.
09:57If we drag this out any longer,
09:59what's the rush?
10:01I'll give the boss a video call right now,
10:03see what the hell is going on.
10:06Boss, about the wedding.
10:08What is it?
10:18Boss, the Donna's out here.
10:20She's asking about the wedding.
10:22Tell her to wait.
10:23I'm busy.
10:24Niko, pay attention to me.
10:27Boss, sounds like you're busy over there.
10:31This little devil won't let me go.
10:34Well, you handle your business, boss.
10:36We can handle the Donna for you.
10:42The wedding starts in three minutes.
10:44Donna, we...
10:45Since Niko is busy, let him listen.
10:48Over 300 guests are waiting for the wedding of the century.
10:51Do you think this is appropriate?
10:53The boss is just...
10:55Why do we minutes this...
10:57Is three minutes enough for him to finish?
10:59Enough three minutes.
11:01Three minutes?
11:04Tell her I'm going for another round.
11:06I'm already hard again.
11:08Rocco, you guys keep things under control.
11:11I'll be over when I'm done.
11:16I'll be over when I'm done.
11:17Rocco quickly hung up.
11:18The air was thick with embarrassment.
11:19I turned to leave.
11:22Donna!
11:23Wait!
11:24The boss has you in his heart.
11:26You know that.
11:26After all these years, you know how men are.
11:29It's just for fun.
11:32I ignored Marco's words.
11:34Just for fun?
11:35I walked back to the waiting room, my mind replaying the last 10 years.
11:39I never wanted to believe that the man I'd been with for a decade would change his heart
11:42for some girl fresh out of college.
11:44Isla Marino.
11:45The only daughter of an old money New York family.
11:47The complete opposite of me.
11:48A woman who had walked the line of the underworld for 10 years.
11:51He changed after he met her at an auction six months ago.
11:54At first, I made excuses for him.
11:56The late night encrypted messages.
11:58The unfamiliar perfume on his clothes.
12:00Just some woman who hugged him too tight at a party.
12:02I chose to ignore all the suspicious moments.
12:05Until three months ago.
12:06He stopped making excuses for coming home late.
12:09He stopped hiding his phone.
12:10Taking calls from her right in front of me.
12:12His voice soft and warm.
12:17Now, his men were still outside, whispering.
12:20They thought I would walk down the aisle alone.
12:22In my wedding dress.
12:23Stand before the priest.
12:24And wait for a groom who might never show up.
12:26And then I would smile and say I do to an empty space.
12:29That was the script Nico had left for me.
12:31I looked at the time.
12:3211 o'clock on the dot.
12:34The main door slowly swung open.
12:37A tall, imposing figure stood silhouetted against the light.
12:41Every smile in the room froze.
12:43Meanwhile, at Nico's private estate.
12:46Isla was wrapped in a silk sheet.
12:49Are you really leaving?
12:50I want more.
12:53Baby, I have to go.
12:55She gave me three minutes.
12:57It's been twenty.
12:58So what?
13:00What's she going to do to you?
13:04You don't know her temper.
13:06She's usually tame, but she can be a real bitch when she's pissed.
13:10But I promised her the wedding of the century.
13:13I have to at least see the show through for her.
13:15What about the marriage license?
13:18You promised me.
13:21Of course it's yours.
13:22My legal wife can only be you.
13:25Don't worry about that.
13:26He picked up his phone from the nightstand to call his driver.
13:28But the flood of notifications on his screen made him pause.
13:32The last message was a video file.
13:34Sent by Rocco just moments ago.
13:36Nico frowned and tapped it open.
13:38His pupils shrank.
13:41Isla saw Nico's face and flinched.
13:44What is it?
13:46You look like you've seen a ghost.
13:48In the video, Serafina was smiling.
13:50Where standing beside her was a man in a designer suit.
13:53Like it was their wedding.
13:55No fucking way.
13:57He chose that dress.
13:59He ordered those white roses.
14:01He planned this wedding.
14:03Serafina had been his woman for 10 years.
14:05His.
14:06How could this happen?
14:07And this guy.
14:08He was Caspian DeLuca.
14:10The don of the DeLuca family.
14:12The man who runs New York's oldest and most powerful family.
14:15His empire runs from five months to ship into media.
14:19A man like that.
14:20How could he possibly want Serafina?
14:23She's just the daughter of some Chicago suit.
14:25A nobody.
14:26What did she have?
14:27A pretty face and a knack for business.
14:30That's it.
14:31Besides, Caspian's always been cold.
14:33Arrogant.
14:34He's never been tied to any woman.
14:37How the hell did he suddenly show up at Nico's wedding?
14:43Nico took a deep breath.
14:44Nico thought back to when he was just a punk on the street.
14:47She gave him every penny she had to start his business.
14:50She traveled to 12 cities for him.
14:52Worked herself into the ground until she was hospitalized with a bleeding stomach.
14:57She used her father's connections to push him, step by step, to where he was today.
15:02A woman who loved him that much.
15:04How could she just turn on him?
15:06Nico dialed Rocco's number.
15:08Boss, you finally called.
15:10What the hell is going on?
15:12Why did you let Caspian DeLuca in the church?
15:15We don't know.
15:16He just showed up.
15:18Said he was here for the wedding.
15:21For the wedding?
15:23He's here to humiliate me.
15:25Boss, what do we do now?
15:26The guests are all whispering.
15:28What's to this panic?
15:29Caspian has no shame, but Locla family has a reputation.
15:32He won't pull a stunt in front of all these people.
15:34But boss.
15:34But what?
15:35You need to see the second video I sent you.
15:40The red carpet stretched out before me.
15:42I held Caspian's arm, feeling the fine fabric of his suit.
15:45This was no off-the-rack tux.
15:47Just signing the papers would have been enough.
15:50The ceremony isn't important.
15:51This wedding comes with flowers, a band, 300 guests, and a Michelin star feast.
15:57And it's all free.
15:58Why let it go to waste?
16:03Besides, you already changed into this custom suit in the car behind the church.
16:07If you really didn't care, you wouldn't have come so prepared.
16:10You don't miss a thing.
16:17A free wedding, I'll play along.
16:21But, for that comment, I'll be collecting with interest.
16:29The organ began the solemn wedding march.
16:31Caspian took my hand and we started walking again.
16:34His hand was large and warm, swallowing mine completely.
16:37It was different from Nico's cold, possessive grip.
16:40This felt more like protection.
16:42The guests started whispering.
16:43Isn't that the Don DeLuca?
16:45What's he doing with Bellini's fiance?
16:47Where's Mr. Bellini?
16:48The murmurs grew louder.
16:50I saw a few of Nico's top guys standing by the aisle.
16:53Rocco tried to pull out his phone to send a warning, but the screen read no signal.
16:59The red...
17:00Tony pulled out his phone, too.
17:02Same thing.
17:02They finally realized it.
17:04They had completely lost control of the situation.
17:06We reached the altar.
17:07The priest, a kind old man, looked for me to the new man at my side.
17:11His confusion was obvious, but he was a professional.
17:14He recovered quickly.
17:15Ma'am, if I may...
17:16Continue.
17:17Follow the original plan.
17:18The priest nodded and opened his book.
17:20Sunlight streamed through the stained glass windows, falling on us like a blessing.
17:24Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of this man and this woman
17:30in holy matrimony.
17:32The commotion in the pews grew, some trying to take pictures, but with the cell signal
17:36jammed, the pictures weren't going anywhere, just as the priest was about to get to the
17:40most important part of the vows.
17:42Mrs. Serafina Vitale, do you take...
17:47She does not!
17:51Tony pulled out his phone.
17:53Sue, same thing.
17:54They finally realized it.
17:56They had completely lost control of the situation.
17:58His tuxedo was a rat.
17:59Bow tie crooked.
18:00Boss, you're finally here.
18:03Serafina, she...
18:04She walked down the whole aisle with Caspian.
18:07What?
18:08Good thing you saw that second video I sent.
18:10Rocco swallowed hard.
18:12That video.
18:13The one Rocco secretly filmed from a side corridor.
18:16In it, the aisle was long.
18:17I walked, step by step, toward Caspian.
18:20And then I offered him my hand.
18:22Niko's face turned uglier.
18:24He knew better than anyone how much I hated Caspian DeLuca.
18:27For the last five years, we'd been at each other's throats in the black market for art.
18:31Every major auction, every big deal, he had to stick his nose in it.
18:35I hated his arrogance.
18:36Hated how he never showed any mercy.
18:38Most of all, I hated how he always ruined things for me at the last second.
18:43And now, Niko couldn't process what he was seeing.
18:46Especially the way I was looking at Caspian.
18:48I had never looked at any other man with that kind of softness.
18:51The priest was frozen on the altar, unsure what to do.
18:54I didn't turn around.
18:56I just spoke calmly to the priest.
18:58Please, continue.
19:02Those two words made Niko's face go pale with rage.
19:05He stormed up the aisle.
19:06I finally turned to face the man I once loved so desperately.
19:09Right now, his eyes were filled with anger, confusion, and something that looked a lot
19:14like panic.
19:14Have you lost your damn mind?
19:18Serafina, stop this.
19:19You think this little show with him is gonna make me jealous?
19:22You think this is how you threaten me?
19:25Trying to grab my hand.
19:27I took a small step back, avoiding his touch.
19:29That simple move made his eyes darken.
19:32Who is Caspian DeLuca, the dawn of the DeLuca family?
19:35You think he can't have any debutate he wants?
19:38Any beauty he desires?
19:39You think he'd want you?
19:41A woman I've had for ten years?
19:43Caspian's eyes turned cold.
19:45Deadly.
19:46He stepped forward, shielding me.
19:48Watch your mouth, Belani.
19:50One more disrespectful word about her.
19:53I'll show you exactly how the DeLuca family does things.
19:58Seeing Caspian protect me, a flash of panic crossed Niko's eyes.
20:02He covered it up quickly.
20:03He sneered.
20:04You think I don't know your game?
20:07You're just using her to get back at me?
20:09To ruin my name?
20:11To destroy my wedding?
20:14Serafina, wake up!
20:15Don't be a pawn and think you've won!
20:20Niko took another step closer.
20:22His eyes were certain, like he still thought he was in control.
20:25Come down now, and I'll pretend today never happened.
20:28We'll have another wedding.
20:30You'll still be Mrs. Bellini.
20:32He held out his hand.
20:33He was waiting for me to run back to him.
20:35Waiting for me to gratefully accept his generosity.
20:37But I just watched him.
20:38And then, I gave him a light, airy smile.
20:41That smile made the certainty in his eyes shatter.
20:43I turned my head to Caspian beside me.
20:45He was staring at me.
20:46His dark eyes held something I'd never seen before.
20:49Something deep.
20:50Burning.
20:51Dangerous.
20:51I stood on my toes.
20:53I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.
20:55Caspian froze for only a second.
20:57The next, he took control.
20:59He was a predator.
21:00His arm wrapped tight around my waist, pulling me against him.
21:04The kiss was forceful, dominant, almost like he was claiming me.
21:07I could feel the desire he'd suppressed for years finally exploding.
21:11Women covered their mouths.
21:13Seperana!
21:16Nico let out a strangled shriek.
21:18A sound like someone had his throat in a vice.
21:21His voice was broken, desperate.
21:23I kissed Caspian back even harder.
21:25His lips were soft and warm.
21:27A stark contrast to his cold exterior.
21:29I could taste mint.
21:30Could feel his breathing quicken.
21:32When Caspian finally pulled away, his thumb gently brushed my lip.
21:35The gesture was tender, but his eyes were hot enough to burn everything down.
21:39You started it.
21:40This time, I'm not letting you go.
21:43The second he finished speaking, men in black suits emerged from all corners of the church.
21:48Clearly, this was all planned.
21:49Drag him out.
21:50Caspian said without looking back.
21:52The bodyguards moved toward Nico with practiced efficiency.
21:55Don't you dare!
21:56This is my wedding!
21:58My church!
21:59Seraphana!
22:00Wake up!
22:01He's just using you!
22:03You were with me for ten years!
22:05Ten years!
22:07How could you betray me for a man who doesn't even love you?
22:10His voice got more desperate, more broken.
22:13He's just picking up my sloppy seconds!
22:15Caspian to Golka!
22:16You're just taking the woman I'm done with!
22:19At that, murder flashed in Caspian's eyes.
22:22He signaled the guards to stop, then walked slowly over to Nico.
22:26What did you just say?
22:29Nico.
22:30Nico was shaken by his presence, but refused to back down.
22:33I said you're taking my sloppy seconds!
22:38She was mine for ten years.
22:40Every inch of her skin I...
22:42Caspian's fist connected squarely with Nico's face.
22:45Blood sprayed.
22:47I'll say this one last time.
22:49Insult her again, and I'll cut your tongue out.
22:52Nico was dazed, but he still struggled.
22:54I didn't marry Isis.
22:57I never signed the papers.
22:58His voice cracked, laced with tears.
23:01This was the first time...
23:03The first time I ever really wanted to marry someone!
23:07Serafina!
23:08Please!
23:09Come back to me!
23:11I can change!
23:12I'll change everything for you!
23:14But no one was listening anymore.
23:16The guards kept dragging him out.
23:18His voice grew fainter, more broken.
23:20Until finally, it was gone.
23:24You may now exchange rings.
23:31Your hand.
23:33But with that same quiet authority, I did as he said.
23:37He opened the box.
23:38Inside was a uniquely designed ring.
23:40A platinum band with a perfect blue sapphire at its center.
23:43But it wasn't the gem that shocked me.
23:45It was the design.
23:47I knew that pattern.
23:48Carved around the sapphire were fine vines,
23:50with flowers shaped exactly like.
23:52It was 15 years ago.
23:54Caspian and I were just kids.
23:56Already being pushed into an arranged marriage by our fathers.
23:59I fought it hard.
24:00I thought the quiet, brooding boy was boring as hell.
24:03We argued about it on the lawn of the estate.
24:05I'm never marrying a boar like you!
24:08And if I did, the ring would have to be something I like!
24:11I scribbled a few little flowers on the scrap.
24:15Here!
24:15Like this!
24:16Then I threw the paper in his face and ran off.
24:19He didn't say anything then.
24:21Just quietly picked up the crumpled piece of paper.
24:23I thought he'd forgotten all about it.
24:25But he hadn't.
24:26You remembered.
24:31Focused as he slid the ring onto my finger.
24:34I've remembered for 15 years.
24:36I had it commissioned that same day.
24:43Now you can't run away.
24:45His tone was part bossy,
24:46and part a stubbornness that was almost childlike.
24:4815 years.
24:49He waited 15 years,
24:51all because of a kid's silly tantrum.
24:53With a shaky hand,
24:54I took the man's ring from the box.
24:56The same design,
24:57the same care.
24:58Your return.
24:59Caspian held out his long fingers for me.
25:01The moment the cool metal touched his skin,
25:03I felt a sense of safety I hadn't felt in years.
25:06Like I was back on that summer afternoon.
25:09Even then,
25:09some part of me knew
25:10this boy would protect me for the rest of my life.
25:13In that warm, perfect moment,
25:15the church doors were thrown open.
25:17Dozens of men in black suits poured in,
25:19led by Nico.
25:22His face was terrifyingly dark.
25:24His eyes burning with a mad rage.
25:26Caspian Delico!
25:28You've crossed the fucking line!
25:30The guests screamed in terror.
25:32Some tried to run,
25:33but the exits were all blocked.
25:35Nico strode toward the altar.
25:37Stealing my woman
25:38on my turf?
25:40Every flower,
25:41every candle,
25:43every note of music,
25:44I paid for it all!
25:45With my blood and sweat!
25:47Every car outside,
25:48every guard,
25:50paid for with my money!
25:51You think you can just walk in here
25:53with a new suit
25:54and take my place?
25:56You don't run things here.
25:58Caspian didn't let go of my hand.
26:00He pulled me behind him,
26:02his eyes turning dangerous and calm.
26:03Bellini,
26:04you've already lost.
26:05Walk away with some dignity,
26:07and I can forget this happened.
26:15What have I lost?
26:16She's still wearing the dress I chose,
26:19standing in the church I decorated.
26:20You think you can just take her from me?
26:23In your dreams?
26:25Nico yanked a silver pistol
26:26from his waistband.
26:27He aimed the black barrel ride
26:28at Caspian.
26:29At the same time,
26:30his dozens of thugs
26:31raised their guns.
26:32All of them pointed at us
26:34on the altar.
26:35This man trespassed on my property
26:37and stole my bride.
26:39Break his fucking legs
26:41and drag him out!
26:42And I'll see you next time.
26:43Bye.
26:43Bye.
26:43Bye.
