00:24To be continued...
00:30...clawed their way up from the streets with him.
00:34Antonio was number seven.
00:37He was the hottest of my uncles...
00:39...and the only man I've ever loved.
00:42Dad, why did it have to be him?
00:44Among all my brothers, he's the deadliest man I have.
00:46If we send anyone else, it'll be sending them to their deaths for nothing.
00:51If I'd known about you two, I never would have sent him.
00:54But three years had already passed.
00:56For three years, I turned down every engagement they threw at me.
00:59But Antonio never came back.
01:02Miss Costa! Antonio! Antonio's back!
01:06I jolt awake and rushed out barefoot.
01:11Miss, please.
01:12I get it.
01:14He opened his mouth, then said nothing.
01:16I knew something was wrong.
01:18I picked up an umbrella and walked out slowly.
01:20My six uncles stood there, looking at Antonio with a mixture of hatred and relief.
01:26I didn't know where that anger came from.
01:29Father.
01:30Everyone turned to look at me.
01:31My father looked pissed, but his expression sottened when he saw me.
01:35What's going on?
01:36Why is he on his knees?
01:38Antonio only glanced at me once.
01:40Then he bowed his head hard.
01:42Boss, they are innocent.
01:44Don't don't take it out on them.
01:45Please.
01:46They didn't do anything wrong.
01:48For a second, I think I understood.
01:50A woman around my age walked in.
01:52She was pregnant.
01:54I don't want anything, but my baby needs a father.
01:57Please.
01:58Father fiddled with his ring.
01:59Silent.
02:00Everyone in the room looked at me with pity.
02:03I might look sweet and innocent, but my temper is a nightmare.
02:07Kid.
02:08Don't do anything you'll regret.
02:10My eyes stayed locked on Antonio.
02:12It's been three years.
02:13He looked a lot older now.
02:15A deep scar slashed through his eyebrow.
02:17He clearly hasn't had it easy over the past three years.
02:20Antonio is a hero of the Costa family.
02:23Since when do we make heroes kneel?
02:26Get on your feet.
02:27You look ridiculous kneeling on the floor.
02:31Antonio immediately helped the pregnant woman up.
02:34Father, the third of next month is a perfect date.
02:37We could have Antonio and Lina's wedding then.
02:39Everyone remembered.
02:40That was the day he was supposed to marry me.
02:44Catalina.
02:45Congratulations, Aunt Lina.
02:47Antonio, did you hear that?
02:49We're getting married!
02:51Uncle Antonio, congratulations on the baby.
02:58I turned and walked away.
03:00Marco hurried to catch up.
03:02Kid.
03:03I know this hurts.
03:04I push open the door to the room.
03:07For the past three years, marriage proposals have piled in every corner.
03:11Uncle Marco.
03:12Out of all these, who's the most valuable player?
03:15We are powerful enough.
03:16A marriage is just for show now.
03:19Then, who's the hottest?
03:20Seeing how awkward Uncle Six looked, I picked one at random.
03:24Salvatore Rossi.
03:26Um, maybe you can think about this just a little more.
03:29Why?
03:30A voice suddenly came from outside the window.
03:33His reputation is trash.
03:34He's a party boy, a trust fund brat, a complete waste of space.
03:38I gave him a quick once-over, then glanced at the marriage contract in my hand.
03:44You're better looking than your photo.
03:46You little bastard.
03:47You think this is a playground?
03:48How dare you climb the Costa's walls?
03:51Uncle, I want him.
03:54Clean up your mess with Antonio.
03:56In seven days, I'll come and marry you.
03:58What a smug little punk.
04:00Never done a damn thing right in his life.
04:02He's not a complete loser.
04:04His intel is fast.
04:06If a so-called nobody knew about Antonio and me, then he isn't a nobody.
04:11At dusk, in the gazito.
04:13Sorry to interrupt.
04:15Miss, this just came in.
04:16The bodyguard placed the documents on the table without a second thought.
04:19Right on top, a photo of Liam.
04:21You're digging into her?
04:23Is the baby yours?
04:26Yeah.
04:27I leaned back and lit a cigarette.
04:29Antonio, however, couldn't sit still.
04:32I know I failed you.
04:34She made me want to settle down.
04:37Live a normal life.
04:39You've always loved pearls.
04:41These three years, I crossed continents, hit every corner of the map.
04:45Finally got the perfect set.
04:47You think a necklace is going to make me let this go?
04:50Do you even know me?
04:51Without a moment's hesitation.
04:53Antonio knelt down before me.
04:55Sorry, Catalina.
04:56My life is yours to take.
04:58Please let her go.
04:59Then die.
05:00Right now.
05:02Antonio stared at me in stunned disbelief.
05:03That's how you got her, huh?
05:05With pretty little words like that.
05:06Uncle, if pretty words could fix everything, the costas wouldn't be the ones running this city.
05:12Miss, your things.
05:13It's worth a few bucks.
05:15Yours now.
05:15Thank you, miss.
05:17In the banquet home, my uncles welcomed me with smiles.
05:19I barely got seated when Lena grabbed my hand, acting like we were cl-
05:23Catalina.
05:24I heard you and Antonio were really close growing up.
05:26I guess we're family now.
05:27I barely got seated when Lena grabbed my hand, acting like we were close.
05:30Give me your number.
05:31We really should stay in touch.
05:33The screen lit up.
05:34Her wallpaper was an intimate selfie of her and Antonio.
05:36Then she slapped her forehead and feigned chagrinse.
05:38Chagress.
05:39Oh gosh, my bad.
05:40I've been using Antonio's old phone and his contacts have no names.
05:43Which one is yours?
05:44She looked at me with a smile, defiance hidden in her eyes, and she insisted on laying it
05:47all out.
05:48I don't need to spare her feelings anymore.
05:49Look for baby girl.
05:50That's me.
05:51Lena didn't expect that.
05:53Her expression instantly soured.
05:54You two were close.
05:56Is this it?
05:59The screen was filled with messages I'd sent to Antonio back then.
06:02Every single one expressed concern for his safety and told him I missed him.
06:05Lena forced a smile.
06:07My phone broke, so I've been using Antonio's.
06:09Miss, Catalina, what if he never even saw those messages?
06:12Want me to forward them to him right now?
06:14Her words had barely finished when Antonio walked into the hall.
06:19Give it to Antonio.
06:20Yes, miss.
06:27Where did you get it from?
06:28The miss told me to show you the phone, sir.
06:29I'm asking about the necklace.
06:30Where the hell did you get it?
06:31The miss gave it to me.
06:33Sitting here?
06:34Your fiancé might find that a little hard to swallow.
06:36You love pearls.
06:37Why would you give it to some nobody?
06:39Are you talking about the necklace?
06:41Or you?
06:43Ladies and gentlemen, the boss would like everyone to finish their meal and head to the front hall.
06:47I turned and headed for the front hall.
06:49Dozens of black custom gift boxes were already lined up.
06:51Each one stamped with the family crest.
06:53Inside, top trees jewelry.
06:54Limited luxury pieces.
06:55Rare antiques.
06:56Father sat at the head, ticking off the list.
06:59Is all this for us?
07:02This is insane.
07:04Got the wedding dress picked out yet?
07:07We're locking that down tomorrow.
07:09The boss said my calories open to you.
07:11Take your pick.
07:13Thanks, Rocco.
07:15Boss, miss.
07:16Mr. Salvatore Rossi has arrived.
07:19What's he doing here?
07:20I thought that the Costas and the Rossis don't usually keep in touch.
07:26Antonio, I'm not feeling well.
07:28I'll take you to the bathroom.
07:30Marco, if the boss asks, tell him Lena's not feeling well.
07:32I'll be right back.
07:33Okay, hurry.
07:34The second they were gone, the Rossi family walked in.
07:38Salvatore wore a sleek black suit.
07:40He shot me a wink the second he stepped through the door.
07:42Come and sit.
07:44What are the Rossis doing here?
07:46Why is the boss looking so happy?
07:48Victor, do you have any idea?
07:50Rocco, what's going on?
07:55Catalina has made her decision.
07:56She's marrying Salvatore Rossi.
07:58We're here for the proposal.
07:59All the uncles froze for a second,
08:01then quickly stepped up with polite congratulations.
08:04Want to take a walk?
08:06Sure.
08:07He led me to the backyard.
08:10The backyard was quiet.
08:12The second we stepped out,
08:13we heard Lena's tearful, aggrieved voice.
08:16You know I can't stand that woman.
08:18She's the precious Costa daughter.
08:19She has everything.
08:20But what about me?
08:21Are three whole years together worth nothing to you?
08:23She clearly did this on purpose.
08:25I just can't accept it.
08:25She really wanted to make things hard for you.
08:27You wouldn't be allowed to stay here.
08:29Don't bring this up again.
08:31Salvatore suddenly stopped.
08:32He turned to look at me,
08:33clearly enjoying the show.
08:34Tired, let's take a seat on that bench.
08:35Yeah, right.
08:36He just wanted front row seats for the drama.
08:37Meanwhile, Lena kept pushing.
08:39Why have you changed, Dwayne, now?
08:40Is it because you're scared of your Bloss?
08:42Or because you never got over her?
08:43Salvatore has an eye for style.
08:45And every piece he picks suits my taste perfectly.
08:49I don't like her.
08:50She's just my niece.
08:51Don't play dumb with me.
08:53I saw you looking at Catalina's photo yesterday.
08:59Salvatore, who enjoyed the drama,
09:01jumped out from where he was sitting.
09:03What was Antonio doing to Miss Costa's photo?
09:05I shot him a glance.
09:07He shut his mouth.
09:08I cut her off immediately.
09:11If you can't control your own woman, fine.
09:13But if one word of this gets out
09:15and embarrasses the Costa family,
09:16my father will handle the cleanup himself.
09:18Antonio didn't answer.
09:20Instead, his eyes landed on Salvatore.
09:22Never thought the Miss would end up
09:23hanging around trash like you.
09:25I guess these last three years really ruined her.
09:27Who knows?
09:29Maybe Katarina has a thing for my type.
09:33She only respects the strongest.
09:35A low life like you was never her type.
09:42You're not the only one who's changed in three years.
09:45Antonio's expression darkened.
09:47He was just about to shoot back.
09:49I grabbed Salvatore's hand and turned to leave.
09:54I want this one.
09:56You sure?
09:58Yeah.
09:59No problem.
10:00I'll have it custom made to your measurements.
10:02The moment it's ready,
10:03I'll have it delivered straight to you.
10:04The custom wedding dress Salvatore ordered
10:06arrived exactly one day before the wedding.
10:08That same night, Antonio came to see me.
10:11Anton's pretty late.
10:11He came to see me.
10:12I don't think it's convenient.
10:18Since when did you change your taste?
10:21Three years change people.
10:23Don't you want to know how I've been these three years?
10:25With Lena around, I'm sure you managed just fine.
10:28You worked pretty hard to marry her, didn't you?
10:32They told me that the third of next month
10:34was supposed to be our wedding day.
10:36Is that true?
10:38That date's still your big day.
10:40Use it well.
10:44My wedding is cancelled.
10:46Indefinitely.
10:47I'm never going to touch that date.
10:50I closed the door behind him.
10:52The smell of alcohol lingered throughout the entire room.
10:54No matter what he said now,
10:56it was too late.
10:57By sunrise,
10:58the wedding party will be here to collect him.
11:00Right on time.
11:01And with how drunk he was tonight,
11:03he probably wouldn't even make it to my wedding tour.
11:05The second Antonio left,
11:06the makeup artists and stylists arrived.
11:09By the time I was ready,
11:10Salvatore showed up.
11:11As I walked out of the courtyard,
11:12Lena was standing under the walkway watching me.
11:16Oh,
11:16so today's your big day.
11:18Congrats!
11:19By the way,
11:20your uncle drank himself soup last night.
11:22I guess he won't be walking you down the aisle.
11:26I ignored her and kept walking.
11:28But she refused to let it go,
11:30tailing me like a shadow.
11:32A woman who's been hung up on her own uncle?
11:35Do you think she should have a good ending?
11:38Are you insane?
11:40I'm your elder!
11:41Since when are you my elder?
11:44That kid's last name is Vitorly,
11:46not Costa.
11:47Without my approval,
11:49you wouldn't even be allowed to get through that door.
11:51Antonio is not going to let this slide!
11:55Tell him to come and try.
11:56Franco turned to me.
11:58It's your wedding day.
11:59Be happy.
12:00Don't waste your energy on idiots.
12:02I'll deal with her later.
12:04Franco,
12:04I knew I could count on you.
12:06I seriously thought you were going to run away.
12:11The ceremony hasn't even started yet.
12:17Plan changed.
12:18Sorry, Rocco, Fran.
12:20Drive.
12:21If someone shows up trying to steal my bride,
12:23we're screwed.
12:29He was drunk last night.
12:31Even if he were sober,
12:33he wouldn't.
12:34You'd be surprised.
12:36The car had just pulled out onto the road
12:38when my phone rang.
12:39An unknown number.
12:40The phone rang twice before I answered.
12:44Catalina,
12:46got a minute?
12:47No.
12:48Guess the fireworks woke me up.
12:50Someone said you're getting married today.
12:52Costa's servants really do love God.
12:53I am.
12:54The car had just entered the mountain road
12:57when Marco called.
13:00Catalina,
13:01Antonio went after you.
13:02Couldn't stop him.
13:03Don't think he'll catch up, though.
13:05Got it.
13:07Five minutes later,
13:09Luca called.
13:11He's driving fast.
13:13He just passed Highway 92.
13:15Three minutes later,
13:16Victor called.
13:20He's on the Tacanian partway now.
13:23One minute later,
13:24Orlando called in.
13:25His voice changed.
13:27He smashed through a roadblock.
13:29At this rate,
13:30he's...
13:33Orlando,
13:34I see him.
13:38I promise to marry you,
13:40so I'll definitely go back with you.
13:42I know.
13:42I just think it's a bit annoying.
13:47So it's true?
13:50You're really marrying Salvatore.
13:52Do you have a problem with that?
13:53Do you know how old you are?
13:54There's no way the boss
13:55would have let you end up
13:56with a guy like this.
13:57Go home with me now.
13:59Lena's the same age as me.
14:01She's already carrying your child,
14:02and you still think I'm too young?
14:04Salva might be a loser,
14:05but at least he's better than you.
14:08You wanted to know about Lena,
14:09didn't you?
14:11I crawled out of a pile of bodies,
14:13spent seven days in some broken cave.
14:15She saved my life.
14:20She was wearing a white dress that day.
14:23I thought she was you.
14:25My eyes were injured.
14:27By the time I realized,
14:28she was already pregnant.
14:33I thought maybe I could
14:34settle down with her.
14:36But after I saw you again,
14:37I realized how much I loved you.
14:39He spoke with genuine heart,
14:41but I found it disgusting.
14:42Costa Family Rule Number 12.
14:45Results are all that matter.
14:46Can you just come back with me first?
14:49Please.
14:56Either you come back with me,
14:57or I kill him and drag you back.
15:00I had to admit,
15:01Salvatore surprised me.
15:02A gun was pressed to his head,
15:04yet he still stood there
15:05with both hands in his pockets,
15:06smiling lazily.
15:08Compared to him,
15:09Antonio and I looked like the crazy ones.
15:13Catalina,
15:14you're going to drive me crazy.
15:18You gonna shoot or not?
15:19If not, I'm leaving.
15:21Antonio tried several times
15:22to pull the trigger,
15:23but in the end,
15:24he didn't have the courage.
15:26Tie her up and bring her back.
15:27You all live off the Costa Family.
15:30You really want to lay hands on Miss Costa?
15:32You know your boss's temper.
15:34The day you came home,
15:36the whole family was waiting
15:37for you to propose to her.
15:39Instead, you insisted on marrying that girl,
15:40and now you want to steal the bride from me?
15:43First, you can't do it.
15:44Second,
15:45she doesn't want to go with you.
15:47Sir,
15:47the boss says it's almost time
15:49for the ceremony.
15:52Antonia,
15:52I'm definitely getting married today.
15:54He held out his hand to me.
15:56I didn't hesitate.
15:58I bent down and got in the car.
16:00The second the door closed,
16:01I heard Antonio's voice from outside.
16:05Catalina.
16:07I didn't look at him,
16:08nor did I answer.
16:10Salvatore settled in beside me
16:12and took my hand.
16:13Let's go.
16:15Antonio won't be able to make it.
16:19Lena found out something,
16:21got emotional,
16:22triggered contractions.
16:23They're rushing her to the hospital now.
16:28Your information network really is impressive.
16:31It gets the job done.
16:35At the wedding,
16:36white dovens filled the sky.
16:38The moment the confetti cannons exploded,
16:41I took Salvatore's arm
16:42and walked onto the platform.
16:43I can't believe how lucky Salvatore is
16:46marrying the eldest daughter
16:47of the Costa family.
16:49Look at this loser.
16:50Can't even show up on time.
16:52What else can you do?
16:53Before they could finish,
16:55Reddy could finish,
16:56Rossi's bodyguards covered their mouths
16:58and dragged them away.
16:59I glanced at Salvatore.
17:01Now I understand how he got
17:03such a terrible reputation.
17:05The wedding went smoothly.
17:07Salvatore moved easily
17:08between the different mafia families,
17:10handling greetings and business.
17:13I had just changed into my didress
17:15and was about to follow him.
17:18You should rest.
17:19Don't I need to greet people?
17:21I'll handle it.
17:23People are going to talk?
17:26You're from the Costa family.
17:28Who's stupid enough to talk about you?
17:30Then won't they talk about you?
17:33My reputation is already a piece of shit.
17:35I don't care if they talk about me or not.
17:38I'll come find you later.
17:39I nodded and sat back down beside my parents.
17:44Why are you back here?
17:46Salvatore told me to rest.
17:47That boy, he's actually quite considerate.
17:54Lena's contractions stopped.
17:55The baby's fine.
17:56Your father said he'll find them a house
17:58out in the suburbs.
17:59They're not coming back to the estate.
18:04Good.
18:05I looked up instinctively,
18:07searching for Salvatore.
18:09He was standing beside my father,
18:11shaking hands with an old man.
18:14As if he felt my gaze,
18:15he turned his head and raised an airbrow at me.
18:18I looked down and smiled.
18:20Obsession is like fire.
18:22Once you fall into it,
18:23it burns you alive.
18:25I never let myself drown in it.
18:28Good or bad,
18:29I take it all.
