Short filmTranscript
00:00The day I married Damien, his childhood sweetheart Ruby committed suicide while wearing a wedding dress.
00:06Ruby, daughter of his housekeeper.
00:10Give her mother a generous settlement.
00:14Then, he finished the wedding like nothing would happen.
00:17Five years later, the night he officially took over the gang's business was also the night I found out I
00:23was infertile.
00:24He sent someone to tie me to a remote estate.
00:29She was carrying my child when she died.
00:31If your family hadn't forced this marriage, I never would have married you.
00:35Ruby would be alive.
00:37You don't deserve children.
00:38Your family will also pay the price.
00:41Damien's men brought all my family members with them.
00:44He forced me to watch my family members being shot one by one.
00:48No!
00:50Now, I reborn.
00:53I went back to my wedding day.
00:55This time, my family will not perish, but his will.
00:59Before entering the hall, I found my assistant Zoe and whispered sentences to her.
01:04After receiving the order, she left solemnly.
01:06Every major family in the city had sent someone.
01:09The ceremony was about to begin.
01:11Please!
01:12A girl suddenly burst through the side door.
01:14My boss!
01:15Miss Ruby tried to suicide.
01:17She says she can't live if she can't be with you.
01:20You've known each other since you were children.
01:21Please go to her!
01:23How?
01:24I told her!
01:25Once I was married, there'd be a place for her!
01:27Why would she?
01:27He couldn't leave.
01:29If he walked out of his own ceremony for the housekeeper's daughter, he would be laughed at by everyone.
01:34Serena, I need to check on her.
01:36This won't take long, I promise.
01:39A life is at stake.
01:40Let me come with you.
01:41This is my household now, too.
01:42Yeah.
01:43Good thinking.
01:44Half the reception trailing behind us in silence.
01:50I didn't mean to cause trouble.
01:52I just wanted to be near you.
01:54I know I could never be your wife, but I wanted one day, one moment, to wear a dress and
02:01stand next to you.
02:02I told you, there must be a place for you.
02:04Why would you do this to yourself?
02:06If something happened to you, what would I do?
02:08There's something you need to know.
02:10I'm eight weeks along.
02:11It's yours.
02:12I didn't want our baby coming into the world without a name, with people calling him a bastard.
02:19You're carrying my child, Ruby?
02:26He got the housekeeper's daughter pregnant?
02:28Before the wedding?
02:29Look at the two of them.
02:30This has been going on a long time.
02:32She really picked a good time to bring this up.
02:34Damien, want to explain?
02:38Please don't be angry at him.
02:40He was drunk one night.
02:42I think he mistook me for you.
02:44And one thing led to another.
02:46And now...
02:47No!
02:48Don't put my name in your stupid story!
02:50I met Damien's day twice before today.
02:52Both times with my father in the room.
02:54We have never been alone together.
02:55I'm sorry.
02:56It's my fault.
02:58It's my fault.
02:59Please don't be angry.
03:01Stop.
03:02Get up.
03:03This isn't Ruby's fault.
03:05She's worth exactly as much as you are.
03:08You're only standing here because of your family's leverage.
03:10You know that.
03:11Without your father, do you really think you'd have been offered this position?
03:14At this moment, my childhood friend Nico spoke.
03:17You knew about the pregnancy for weeks.
03:19You had every opportunity to tell Damien privately.
03:22But you waited until the ceremony had already begun, until the room was packed with witnesses.
03:26And you're telling me that wasn't deliberate?
03:28I looked at Ruby.
03:29I was scared.
03:30Someone on the staff told me you were the jealous type.
03:33I was terrified for the baby.
03:34I panicked.
03:34You were going to do what?
03:36She says a maid told her this.
03:37Which maid?
03:38Where?
03:39When?
03:39My people arrived tonight.
03:41With me.
03:41For the first time.
03:42They don't know anyone here.
03:43They don't even know the layout of this building yet.
03:45So name her.
03:46If she exists, I want to find her.
03:48And if she doesn't...
03:49I might have misheard.
03:51I'm not sure.
03:52That's utter nonsense.
03:54She's just a mistress.
03:56Poor Serena.
03:58Ruby's mother pushed through the crowd and threw herself on the floor in front of me.
04:02Miss Grachel, please.
04:04It's my fault, all of it.
04:05I should have handled this better.
04:06Please.
04:07For the years I gave to this family.
04:10Give the baby a name.
04:12If the Don finds out tomorrow without a resolution, she won't survive it.
04:16Please.
04:16Get up.
04:17Don't kneel to her.
04:18She doesn't deserve it.
04:19She raised me.
04:21And you're letting her kneel on the floor and beg you?
04:24Ruby almost died tonight.
04:25And she's carrying my first child.
04:28She and I are in love.
04:29If you can't live with that, get out!
04:31I was so angry.
04:33I remembered how I swallowed my anger in my past life.
04:36And in the end, my whole family gone.
04:38I had died alone, while Damien told me I'd never deserved anything.
04:42You clearly know what you want.
04:44She's already wearing a wedding dress.
04:46I'm going to step back from this arrangement.
04:49I wish you both every happiness.
04:51No way!
04:52She can't do that!
04:52Why would she walk away?
04:54Over a housekeeper's daughter?
04:56She shouldn't the one who leave.
04:58Damien, don't fight over me.
05:00It's not worth it.
05:01Go finish the ceremony.
05:03Don't let this become a war between families.
05:05You're always thinking of everyone else.
05:07I won't let you down.
05:08You're the one who caused all of this!
05:09You should get out!
05:11She won't come back.
05:13Because I'm going to marry her.
05:27Damien's face did something complicated.
05:29He looked at Nico, then at me, then back at Nico.
05:33You're serious?
05:33I don't make jokes.
05:35That's a conversation for another time, Mr. Salonro.
05:38Of course.
05:39He didn't look away from me when he said it.
05:41I've spent 40 years building what this family has.
05:44I didn't do any of it so my daughter could stand in a room and be humiliated on her wedding
05:48night.
05:48You brought a pregnant woman into your ceremony!
05:52You're talking about breaching an agreement that was made at the top.
05:54If my father decides you've walked away from a binding arrangement, then tomorrow morning
05:58I'll go to your father myself.
05:59I'll tell him my daughter wasn't suitable for the role.
06:01We go our separate ways.
06:03Nobody has to make it ugly.
06:04Let's go.
06:04Get Serena.
06:05Bring the cars around.
06:06We're taking everything we brought with us.
06:07In my previous life, my father and brother were targeted by Damien because of me and died
06:12as a result.
06:13I pressed my face against my father's jacket and I couldn't hold it together.
06:18Dad, I want to go home.
06:20I want to see Mom.
06:22We're going home.
06:23Serena, if you leave right now, that's it.
06:25You understand that?
06:25There's no coming back from this!
06:30Yes.
06:32My mother was waiting on the front steps when we pulled in.
06:35She came down before the car stopped and pulled me in without a word.
06:39Inside, the whole extended family had gathered.
06:41Everyone was talking at once.
06:43She did exactly the right thing.
06:45Voss has no honor.
06:47Never did.
06:47His father should be embarrassed.
06:50She'll do far better.
06:52I sat in the corner and listened to all of it.
06:54And for the first time since I'd opened my eyes in that car,
06:57the tightness in my chest loosened slightly.
07:00They were all here.
07:01My family.
07:02Last time, they were all dead within a year.
07:05I wrapped both hands around the glass.
07:07Not this time.
07:08My mother sat beside me and took my hand.
07:14Mom, they really went too far.
07:16I said, my father appeared in the doorway.
07:20Don't worry about that.
07:21What he did tonight, the families who were in that room won't forget it.
07:25The next morning, Zoe woke me up already buzzing.
07:28You're going to want to hear this.
07:31After we'd left, one of the Voss family's own people called the Don directly.
07:35By midnight, Elena Voss, Damien's mother, knew everything.
07:39She'd reportedly thrown every glass in the room.
07:42Idiot!
07:43He burned the Greco-I alliance for a housekeeper's kid.
07:46I didn't think he was stupid enough to let it get this far, let alone get her pregnant.
07:51She thinks a pregnancy gives her power.
07:53Babies are easy to come by.
07:55Power isn't.
07:56By the time the sun was up, two of the Voss family's people had shown up at Ruby's door
08:00and told her she was wanted at the main compound for a conversation with Elena.
08:05You can't touch me!
08:07I'm carrying the heir's child!
08:08When Damien finds out, I'm going to be the one running that household!
08:12You can tell Mrs. Voss that yourself.
08:13They made her wait in the courtyard, on her knees.
08:16The women who had attended the wedding that day walked past her one by one.
08:20Is that the one from last night?
08:22The housekeeper's daughter?
08:24The childhood sweet?
08:25Sleeping her way up and calling it love?
08:28I heard Don Marco is going to the Voss himself this morning to dissolve the deal.
08:32If the alliance is dead, Elena Voss is going to take this girl apart.
08:36Ruby was shaking by the time she heard that last one.
08:39My father and my brother Leo were at Damien's dad's office at 9 in the morning.
08:44Sir, this is my failure.
08:46I raised my daughter to have too much pride.
08:49She heard about the situation with the other woman and she refused to proceed.
08:53I couldn't talk her out of it.
08:55I'm asking you to release both families from the arrangement.
08:58Damien's dad looked across the desk at Damien.
09:01Well, Don Gretzo.
09:03If your daughter can't adapt to that reality, maybe she wasn't right for this role.
09:07The attitude she showed last night was a problem.
09:10I have enough complications without a wife who undermines me in front of the whole city.
09:14With respect, a man who lets personal matters compromise a major alliance isn't showing great judgment either.
09:19If you can't separate your private life from your business obligations, what does that say about how you'll run things?
09:24There are a hundred families who'd line up for this position.
09:26If the Grecos don't want it, that's their loss.
09:28Then we agree.
09:29Sir, if Damien are leasingly his arrangement, I'd like a formal confirmation so there's no ambiguity later.
09:33Damien's dad looked at his son for a long moment.
09:36I'm disappointed in you.
09:39Then, he had the paperwork drawn up.
09:41My father and Leo walked out of that building smiling.
09:44Leo called me from the car all the way back.
09:47It's done. You're free.
09:48That same afternoon, a message came through my father's office.
09:52Nico Salerno was still in the city.
09:54He was asking whether Don Greco had time for a follow-up conversation at his convenience.
09:59He wasn't looking to talk business with me.
10:01No, he's not.
10:02I said nothing.
10:04Two days later, I was in my father's study when Nico arrived.
10:07He shook my father's hand and then looked at me directly.
10:12I meant what I said the other night.
10:14You said four words.
10:16Five.
10:17I counted.
10:19My four made a sound that was almost a laugh and found somewhere else to be.
10:24Nico looked at me steadily.
10:25That was the thing about him.
10:26There was no performance.
10:28Just a man who had decided something and was saying so.
10:31I've been wine-watching how you handle yourself for three days.
10:35I'd already made up my mind before the other night.
10:38You made up your mind about what exactly?
10:41That you're someone worth knowing.
10:43I looked at him for a moment.
10:46Let me think about it.
10:48It's negotiable.
10:49I'll let you think about it.
10:51He left without pushing further.
10:54I sat in my father's chair for a long time after he'd gone.
10:59Damien's people caught him in the parking garage.
11:03Ruby's been at the compound since six this morning.
11:05Your mother has her in the courtyard.
11:08He got there to find Ruby on the ground, barely holding herself upright, face white.
11:14She saw him and collapsed against him.
11:17Get me out of here.
11:19He carried her inside.
11:22Elena was waiting.
11:24You let the Greco Alliance fall apart.
11:27You defied your father.
11:28You defied me for her.
11:31Tell me you understand how badly you've miscalculated.
11:34Damien set Ruby down and faced his mother.
11:39She's carrying my first child.
11:42Your grandchild.
11:44I wasn't going to let her be erased.
11:46Elena picked up her coffee cup and set it down again, very carefully.
11:49A grandchild isn't worth turning against the Greco Alliance.
11:53If I can't protect the people who matter to me, what's the point of any of this?
11:57Serena has always treated Ruby as someone inferior.
11:59This is pushing my limits.
12:01Everything I've taught you, wasted.
12:06Do whatever you want, but understand the consequences.
12:11The story of Damien's fight with his mother spread through every family in the city.
12:15A few of the younger wives from neighboring families began finding reasons to visit the
12:19Voss compound, trying to get a read on Ruby, figure out how much actual influence she had.
12:24Ruby's social standing for a brief, strange window went up.
12:28Meanwhile, Elena quietly put the word out that she was looking for a new match for her son.
12:33The Salerno family sent a delegation that same way.
12:36Elena hosted a dinner.
12:37The guest of honor was Sofia Salerno, Nico's younger sister, who had a reputation for saying
12:42exactly what she thought and not caring who heard it.
12:45I was invited.
12:45So were most of the prominent women from the allied families.
12:48Elena and Sofia got along immediately.
12:51They talked for two hours before anyone else got a word in.
12:55I was halfway through the dinner when I felt someone take the empty seat to my left.
12:59You've been avoiding eye contact with me all evening.
13:01I've been eating dinner.
13:04You've been thinking.
13:07There's a difference.
13:11And if I have been?
13:13Then I'd say you're taking longer than I expected.
13:16That's not a complaint.
13:18It's an observation.
13:21You're very sure of yourself.
13:25I'm sure of what I saw.
13:27Before I could answer, Elena stood to suggest the younger guests move to the garden.
13:32Nico stood with everyone else.
13:33And as he pushed back his chair, he said quietly,
13:36I will wait for your reply.
13:38We reached the garden terrace and found Ruby already there.
13:41She saw me and smiled.
13:43Such a shame Damien isn't here tonight.
13:45We could have all caught up together.
13:46You're not still waiting around hoping things change, are you?
13:49Elena's already looking at candidates.
13:51I'd hate for you to get your hopes up.
13:53I sat down across from her.
13:54Ruby, I keep forgetting what to call you.
13:57You're clearly not a guest, but you're not exactly staff either.
14:00And there's still no formal title.
14:01Whatever they decide doesn't matter.
14:03Damien told me I'm the only one he wants.
14:05Anyone else they bring in is furniture.
14:08I'm the one who runs that house.
14:09Sofia Salerno dropped into the chair beside me without being invited.
14:14This is more interesting than the dinner.
14:16I don't think we've met.
14:18Who are you?
14:19She's the housekeeper's daughter.
14:21The one who crashed Damien's wedding.
14:23Sofia looked at Ruby with genuine curiosity.
14:25The housekeeper's daughter?
14:27So, why is she sitting?
14:29Everyone here outranks her.
14:31Where I come from, you stand until you're invited to sit.
14:34Help her up.
14:37Ruby's face went rigid.
14:38Touch me and you'll regret it.
14:40I'm carrying Damien Voss' child.
14:42If anything happens to me or this baby, you'll answer for it.
14:47You think a pregnancy makes you untouchable?
14:49Teaching you basic manners isn't a threat to your baby.
14:52It's just manners.
14:54Damien and I have been close since we were children.
14:56You don't know what we are to each other.
14:58I don't care who you are.
15:00What are you waiting for?
15:02They came around the table and hauled Ruby to her feet.
15:05One of them pushed down on her shoulders.
15:08Kneel.
15:09Let go of me.
15:11When Damien gets here, I'll have all of you removed.
15:13Hit her.
15:14They did.
15:15Open-palmed.
15:16Both sides.
15:17Fast.
15:17Ruby's head snapped back and forth.
15:19She screamed.
15:20Then she wrenched free, grabbed the decorative pin from her hair, and lunged at Sofia.
15:25It was fast.
15:26Sofia didn't move in time.
15:27I got to Ruby first.
15:29I grabbed her arm.
15:30She went over a chair, lost her footing, screamed as she fell backward toward the railing.
15:35She grabbed back with both hands and yanked.
15:38We both went over into the water feature below.
15:40The water was cold.
15:42I could swim, but Ruby panicked the moment we hit and wrapped herself around me, pulling
15:46us both down.
15:47Her hands were in my hair, on my arms, on anything she could grip.
15:51I was losing air.
15:52Then something hit the water beside us.
15:54A pair of hands pulled Ruby off me.
15:56Someone else called me out of the arms and got me over the edge off the ceiling.
16:00I was on my hands and knees, getting the water out of my lungs, when I felt a jacket settle
16:05over my shoulders.
16:06I looked up.
16:07Nico crouched down in front of me, sleeves rolled, soaking from the elbows down.
16:11He wasn't looking at the crowd, or at Ruby, or at anyone else.
16:15Just at me.
16:16Breathe.
16:46I looked at him for a moment.
16:47I was lying about it.
16:48You had your people drag me off my chair.
16:50You hit me first.
16:51I had my people correct your posture.
16:53There's a difference.
16:55It's herkmezia gesen.
16:57You did after that.
16:58It's called assault.
16:59I was defending myself.
17:01With a weapon?
17:02Against a guest in this house.
17:04In front of my brother?
17:05Mother, do you understand what you've done?
17:08Done?
17:09Ruby's face crumpled.
17:10She looked past Sophia to where Damien was pushing through the crowd.
17:15Damien, she's lying.
17:16Serena set this whole thing up.
17:18She's been against me from the beginning.
17:19She wanted this to happen.
17:22Damien reached the railing and looked down at her, then up at Sophia's face, then across
17:26at me.
17:27Ruby wouldn't...
17:28Damien, are you suggesting my sister inflicted that wound on herself to frame your girlfriend?
17:32I was standing right there.
17:33I saw all of it.
17:35Your family saw it, too.
17:36Are you trying to tell me they're lying, too?
17:37Damien glanced across the terrace, all watching him.
17:45Apologize.
17:49You're telling me to apologize?
17:50You're choosing them over me?
17:52Apologize.
17:53Right now.
17:54Or I can't protect you from what comes next.
17:56I walked over, close enough that only she could hear me.
17:59The Solanis came here to talk about a merger.
18:02You really thought Damien was going to blow that up for you?
18:05You're a problem he's been managing.
18:07And now you've made yourself a very expensive one.
18:11Ruby's expression cracked.
18:13From the outside, it looked like I'd been leaning in, trying to reason with her, and she'd
18:17pushed me away.
18:18If you can't give my sister an answer tonight, I'll handle it myself.
18:22And my father won't need your explanation.
18:25He'll have mine.
18:27You're defending her?
18:29You think she actually cares about you?
18:31Don't be naive.
18:33My face would be scarred.
18:35You must give me an answer before I leave.
18:40She looked at Elena.
18:42Elena pressed her lips together.
18:43She looked at Damien.
18:45Then she sat down and said nothing.
18:47Sophia's men held Ruby down.
18:49They slapped her repeatedly, more than 20 times, until her voice was hoarse and trembling.
18:57Damien moved.
18:58He got between Ruby and Sophia's women and shoved the nearest one aside.
19:02The insult was to our family.
19:05The answer goes to our father.
19:08Let him decide.
19:10Come near me again, and I won't stop at 20.
19:14She and Nico walked off the terrace together.
19:17As he passed me, Nico slowed for half a step, just enough to say, lo, and only to me.
19:23I'll be in touch.
19:24Ruby lost the baby that night.
19:27She screamed until dawn.
19:28Before sunrise, two of Damien's people were at her door.
19:33They loaded her and her mother into a car and took them to a small house on the other side
19:39of the city.
19:40One of the men stood in the doorway and told her what Damien had said.
19:44Just stay here.
19:45Once you've recovered, maybe we can bring you back.
19:48He won't forget you.
19:49Ruby waited.
19:50The official something never came.
19:52What came instead was the news that Damien Voss was getting married.
19:55The whole street was done up for a wedding procession.
19:58A woman Ruby didn't recognize was sitting in Damien's car.
20:01She could be seen through the window.
20:03She was elegant and beautiful.
20:05The music was too loud.
20:07The crowd was too thick.
20:08She couldn't get close.
20:10She went back to the house.
20:11One of Damien's men was waiting in the front room with a woman.
20:15This should cover the next several months.
20:17He also asked us to bring you a choice.
20:22The money is generous.
20:24The alternative is quick.
20:26Either way, this chapter is finished.
20:29He wishes you well.
20:31He loves me.
20:32He told me he loved me.
20:34He said I was the only one.
20:36Ruby.
20:37Men in his position say a lot of things.
20:40He's been reminded recently that his position requires certain priorities.
20:44You're not one of them.
20:45Who did he marry?
20:47Marcieli.
20:49Miss Gracie, as I'm sure you know.
20:51She's going to the Solanos.
20:53I thought I'd won.
20:55But I was so, so smart.
20:58I had him.
20:59I had the baby.
21:00I had everything lined up.
21:03And this is where I ended up.
21:08Nico formally proposed to me, offer four days later.
21:11I'd like to speak with Serena alone, if she's willing.
21:14My father looked at me.
21:15I nodded.
21:17You already know what I'm going to say.
21:18I know what you're asking.
21:21That's not the same as knowing why.
21:23The night of the wedding, when Damien walked out of that ceremony, every man in that room
21:26made a calculation.
21:28Most of them were thinking about what it meant for the Voss operation.
21:31I was watching you.
21:34You weren't falling apart.
21:35You weren't scrambling.
21:37That's a very calculated reason to propose marriage.
21:39It's an honest one.
21:41And I'd rather have you next to me than across from me.
21:43If I say yes, it's not because I need somewhere to land.
21:47I know that.
21:48That's part of why I'm asking.
21:50He offered his hand the way he had the first time, across my father's desk, taking measure.
21:56I took it.
21:57We were married six weeks later.
21:59Two years in, we had a son.
22:00Around that same time, word came up from the city.
22:03Damien Voss had been removed.
22:05The heir position went to a younger brother, someone who apparently understood that the
22:09operation came before the personal drama.
22:12I was sitting on the terrace of the Salerno estate with my son in my lap when Leo called
22:16to tell me.
22:19Thought you'd want to know.
22:22I did want to know.
22:24We should come home for a visit.
22:26It's been a while.
22:30Mom's already making the guest room up.
22:32She's been making it up for six months.
22:36I told him.
22:38We're going home soon.
