Transcript
00:04Cicely's Mafia follows a brutal tradition called the Claiming.
00:09It demands the groom steal his bride away at midnight,
00:12fighting for the family's guards to prove his power and right to her.
00:15I waited three years for Dominic.
00:18At last, he and his men slipped into my courtyard.
00:21For my stepsister.
00:23I heard him outside the door.
00:25Grab Bianca in the chaos.
00:27She's fragile.
00:28If she's sold off to the Don of the Valentino family to settle the debt,
00:31she won't survive the night.
00:33As for Elena, she'll fight like hell.
00:36She'll keep herself safe.
00:38Dominic, you and Elena are already married.
00:40If she finds out, she'll burn this place to the ground.
00:42Let her.
00:43It's dark enough.
00:44A case of mistaken identity will be explained.
00:46I'll calm her down later.
00:48Besides, the marriage license she signed was a forgery.
00:50I promised Bianca a safe life in Palermo.
00:53She's my priority.
00:54I heard every word from behind the door.
00:58I didn't scream.
00:59I didn't cry.
01:00I just slipped back into the room.
01:02They'd expected me to fight.
01:04To hurt anyone who tried to take me.
01:06Instead, I silently climbed onto the back of the man and became his bride.
01:15Elena, I contact at the registry checked.
01:17You aren't actually Dominic's legal wife.
01:19I put down the phone.
01:20I'd lived as Dominic's wife for five years.
01:23All that time, the Russo family never accepted me.
01:26Because I didn't follow their traditions.
01:28His mother never used my name.
01:29Only ever referring to me as that girl.
01:31At Family Gallus, I was always seated at the farthest table.
01:35In official portraits, I was placed at the edge so I could be easily cropped out.
01:41Dominic said his mother wouldn't let up until I broke.
01:44So he sent me back to the Meridi estate.
01:47He swore to finish the formal claiming ritual, to take me as his Donna.
01:51Then the Russo family would have no choice but to accept me.
01:54I waited.
01:56For three years, I'd held my tongue, longing for this night.
01:59But he'd come for another woman.
02:02He'd kept me deceived for years with a forged marriage license, all to hide the truth.
02:06The one he'd truly meant to claim was my half-sister, Bianca.
02:10I stared at my reflection.
02:11My face was empty.
02:13Shouts exploded in the courtyard.
02:15The ritual had begun.
02:16Laughter rang out.
02:17Boots thudded against stone.
02:18And guards put on a show of resisting.
02:21Ritual torches painted half the sky red.
02:23All the excitement was for them.
02:25The celebration was for Bianca.
02:27The other group of men had come from the Valentino family.
02:30They'd originally come for Bianca.
02:32By the rules of the ritual, if a woman didn't want to be taken,
02:35she could hide and send them away empty-handed.
02:38But Bianca didn't hide.
02:39She waited in her room to be taken.
02:42And the man she waited for was my husband.
02:44The room I was in wasn't mine.
02:46It was Bianca's.
02:47That afternoon, my stepmother pulled me aside.
02:51Elena, stay in Bianca's room tonight.
02:53Yours is too far back, too quiet.
02:55They'll never find you.
02:56The men coming for Bianca are savages.
02:59You've always been tough.
03:00You can handle the rough play.
03:02Bianca is fragile.
03:03If she gets caught in the crossfire, it'll be a disaster.
03:06I said nothing.
03:07I knew exactly what she meant.
03:10By the rules of the claiming, the groom's men would storm in.
03:13The woman was expected to fight and struggle.
03:16It was called the gauntlet.
03:18The harder she fought, the more valuable she was considered.
03:21The groom had to prove he could take her by force.
03:24Those punches and shoves were real.
03:27My stepmother studied my face, testing me.
03:31Besides, Dominic has never been to the Moretti estate at night.
03:34The front room, he'll find you faster.
03:36Back then, I'd only wanted to make things easier for Dominic.
03:40I agreed.
03:41I even texted him my room location.
03:43But they'd been planning this switch all along.
03:47A roar of celebration erupted outside.
03:49We got her!
03:51The pride is ours!
03:52Laughter and cheering rang out, followed by the sharp crack of celebratory gunfire.
03:56I listened but didn't move.
03:58I knew exactly who they'd taken.
03:59I could picture Dominic carrying Bianca through the crowd.
04:02His men shielding them as guests hurled objects and blocked their path.
04:06Bianca would hide her face against his back, pretending to struggle.
04:09How perfect!
04:10I lowered my gaze.
04:12Moments later my door was kicked in.
04:14A group of men flooded into the dark room, their footsteps heavy and chaotic.
04:18Simonone seized my arm.
04:20Hands began shoving and striking me.
04:21I felt fists slam into my shoulders and back.
04:24This was the gauntlet.
04:25The harder the beating, the more the family valued the bride.
04:28I didn't flinch or resist.
04:29I let them yank me from my chair and drag me toward the door.
04:33At first it felt like a formality.
04:35But the violence quickly turned ugly.
04:37Simonone slammed my arm against the stone wall.
04:39Fists began hammering my ribs with real cruel force.
04:42This was intentional.
04:44The pain was excruciating but I didn't make a sound.
04:46I finally understood what my stepmother had meant by calling me tough.
04:50Just when I thought it would never end, someone stepped in to shield me.
04:54Enough!
04:55It was a stranger's voice, sharp with fury.
04:57He blocked the others, shoving the attackers back with his arms.
05:00That's the way it works.
05:01The harder we hit, the more she's worth.
05:06What rule?
05:07His voice dropped from a dangerous growl.
05:09This isn't your wife!
05:10If someone was beating your woman like a dog, would you just stand there and watch?
05:15The room went silent.
05:16He glanced back at me.
05:17In the shadows I could only make out the sharp line of his jaw.
05:20Then he bent down and hoisted me onto his back.
05:22Who is he?
05:23He's taking this ritual way too seriously.
05:26He carried me out in long, steady strides.
05:29People chased after us, throwing things and blocking the way.
05:31But his grip on my legs never wavered.
05:33When he finally carried me out of my private courtyard, he paused to catch his breath.
05:37In the distance, the faint glow of ritual torches moved.
05:41That was the other group.
05:42Through the bushes I heard their laughter.
05:44Dominic was at the front.
05:46Sweat soaked but wearing a triumphant smile.
05:49Bianca was on his back, her arms wrapped tight around his neck.
05:52His men were cheering.
05:54We did it.
05:55Kids sir! Kids sir! Kids sir! Kids sir!
05:59I lay silent on the stranger's back as they drew near.
06:03Torchlight flickered across my face.
06:05Dominic's eyes flicked over me for a split second.
06:09Then his gaze moved on, turning back to his men as he joked and laughed.
06:12He didn't recognize me.
06:14Bianca whispered something in his ear, and he leaned in with a soft smile.
06:18I suddenly thought back to three years ago.
06:23When I'd returned to the Meridia estate to visit my father, and stayed for a while.
06:27The first time Dominic came to find me there, he'd worn that exact same smile.
06:32That day my father's men put him to the test.
06:34They blocked him at the gates and roughed him up, just to see if a Russo truly cared for a
06:38Meridia girl.
06:40He'd shown up at my door with a split lip and bruised ribs.
06:43I asked if it hurt.
06:44He grinned through the blood.
06:46For my wife, I'd take a lot worse.
06:49He was a spoiled Russo heir who'd never been hurt before.
06:52Yet he'd taken a beating from my father's men, just for me.
06:55He always acted like it was nothing.
06:57But I knew the truth.
06:59My father's men didn't go easy on outsiders.
07:01Another time, it poured rain.
07:03He showed up soaked to the bone, his shirt torn.
07:06But the pastries tucked inside his jacket were still dry.
07:09I called him an idiot for coming out in weather like that.
07:12He pushed the pastries into my hands, smiling.
07:14Didn't want you to wait too long.
07:16I held those pastries, staring at the cut on his cheek, and thought this is the man I'll spend my
07:20life with.
07:21But now, he carried Bianca with that exact same smile.
07:24My vision blurred for a second, then sharpened again.
07:27When did it all start to change?
07:29Probably three years ago, when my father died.
07:31I felt completely hollow inside.
07:33Dominic cancelled everything to stay at the Meridia estate with me for two weeks.
07:36The day he had to leave, he took my hand and spoke softly.
07:40Elena, you just got through the funeral and you look awful.
07:42If my mother sees you like this, she'll start on you again.
07:45I don't want you putting up with that.
07:47Just stay here at the estate and rest.
07:49You've always wanted to take over the family business, right?
07:52I'll go back and smooth things over at home, then come get you.
07:55I looked at him and nodded.
07:56I was truly exhausted from the constant fighting with his mother.
08:00Back then, I believed he was looking out for me, that he didn't want me to go back and face
08:03those cold stares.
08:04Only later did I realize.
08:06Distance doesn't create beauty, it just makes it easier for him to love someone else.
08:10Last year when Mrs. Russo turned 60, Dominic came to bring me back.
08:14The moment I stepped inside, I saw my stepsister Bianca.
08:18She was supposed to be in Palermo for work.
08:21But there she was in the living room, arranging fruit, her movements smooth and familiar.
08:25Dominic paused while taking off his shoes and explained.
08:28Bianca's workplace is near our house.
08:30She's staying here temporarily.
08:33There wasn't a trace of guilt in his voice, and I didn't push for more.
08:37My stepmother had married into the Moretti family long after Bianca and I were grown.
08:42We'd never been close.
08:43Over the years, we'd only seen each other during holidays.
08:46I couldn't quite put into words how I felt about her staying there.
08:49When Bianca saw me walk in, she called out warmly.
08:52Hey sis!
08:53Don't worry, I'm just crashing here for a bit.
08:55I'll move out once I find a place.
08:58I nodded, but said nothing.
09:00Back then, I never could have imagined.
09:03For three years, I waited alone in the empty Meridia state.
09:07And all that time, my little sister had been working in the Russo house.
09:11Now, watching Bianca on Dominic's back, it all suddenly clicked.
09:15I hadn't been waiting for him to bring me home at all.
09:17I'd been waiting for my heart to die.
09:20What about Elena?
09:21If she finds out, she'll lose it.
09:23Dominic sounded confident.
09:25She's all bark and no bite.
09:28She'll get over it after throwing a fit.
09:30He paused, his voice lowering.
09:32It's pitch black during the claiming.
09:34I just made a mistake.
09:37She'll feel sorry for me before she even gets angry.
09:41When she finds out, I'll just smooth it over.
09:44Bianca laughed softly.
09:45My knuckles whitened.
09:48Capo, what if someone else claimed Elena?
09:50The group fell quiet.
09:51Then Dominic laughed.
09:52You think she'll let anyone take her without a fight?
09:54With that temper of hers, she'll tear the place apart tonight.
09:58True.
09:58No way Elena goes quietly.
10:00Feels sorry for that poor bastard.
10:02Wonder what he looks like now.
10:04The laughter swelled.
10:06I looked down.
10:09Let's go.
10:11He must have heard everything.
10:13Heard them laughing about me.
10:15Heard how they thought I'd tear the roof off.
10:17But he said nothing.
10:18He just kept walking.
10:20At the gate of the Meridia state, we ran straight into them.
10:24Torchlight flickered over us.
10:25Simone from the other side called out.
10:27Luca?
10:28His steps halted.
10:29A quiet.
10:31Yeah.
10:31Dominic moved closer with Bianca, on his back, grinning.
10:34It really is you.
10:36You claiming someone tonight too?
10:38Yeah.
10:40Which family?
10:40Dominic's eyes flicked to me.
10:42I buried my face in Luca's shoulder, showing only the back of my head.
10:46A neighbor family.
10:47Dominic stared at me a moment longer, then laughed.
10:50Damn, man.
10:51Always figured you'd stay single forever.
10:53Congratsits.
10:53Luca just grunted.
10:55Dominic took a step forward.
10:57I felt his gaze linger on my back.
11:00That look lasted too long.
11:03Long enough.
11:04I almost thought he'd recognized me.
11:08Let's go.
11:09Luca said suddenly, stepping forward.
11:11Wait!
11:12Dominic frowned.
11:13He was about to speak.
11:14Bianca's voice cut in, soft and pained.
11:16Dominic, my ankle hurts.
11:18What's wrong?
11:19Did you twist it earlier?
11:21Dominic turned at once.
11:22I don't know.
11:24It just aches.
11:25Let's go.
11:26We need to get to your place before sunrise.
11:28Dominic didn't waste another second.
11:30He nodded at Luca.
11:31Gotta run.
11:32I'll buy you a drink next time.
11:34Their footsteps faded into the distance.
11:38He really didn't recognize you.
11:41I rested my face against his shoulder and said nothing.
11:45My eyes stung, but I didn't cry.
11:48He seemed to sense it.
11:49His pace slowed, steps gentle and steady.
11:52The moon was bright.
11:54The 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.
12:03Music filled the Russo Estate Hall.
12:04The whole place buzzed with celebration.
12:06Wine flowed freely.
12:07And couples danced to old songs.
12:09This was the party after a successful claiming.
12:12By tradition.
12:12It would last until sunrise.
12:14Dominic sat at the edge of the crowd.
12:16Phone in hand.
12:17The screen lit up.
12:18Went dark.
12:18Then lit again.
12:19No messages from Elena.
12:21That wasn't like her.
12:22She never kept things bottled up.
12:23If she'd found out he'd claimed the wrong woman.
12:25She would've called screaming by now.
12:27He already had his excuses ready.
12:29It was pitch black.
12:30Don't overthink it.
12:31You're the only one I want.
12:32But this time.
12:33No call.
12:33No text.
12:34No yelling.
12:35Capo.
12:35Still staring at your phone?
12:37Waiting on Elena?
12:38Don't bother.
12:39Signal shit out here.
12:40Her area gets fine signal.
12:42Then her phone's probably dead.
12:43Or she didn't see it.
12:44She's probably off beating someone up right now.
12:47Elena had once told him.
12:48I set a special ringtone for your messages.
12:51Don't want to miss him.
12:52She'd sit out in the courtyard till midnight.
12:54Just waiting for him to call.
12:56He didn't believe she didn't see it.
12:58But he had no better explanation.
13:02Alright, quit overthinking.
13:04This is your big night.
13:05Your bride's waiting for you.
13:06What are you doing sitting here?
13:07Tradition says once you've claimed her,
13:09you stay with her all night.
13:10Finish the ritual.
13:11I told Bianca this was temporary.
13:13I just got her out of there.
13:14I didn't plan on-
13:14Didn't plan on what?
13:15Capo, this is the claiming.
13:17Not a game.
13:18You took her, you finish it.
13:19Otherwise, you insult her whole family.
13:20Besides, you and Elena have been together for years.
13:23She won't care about formalities.
13:25Just get through tonight.
13:26Dominic opened his mouth to argue.
13:27What are you guys talking about?
13:29Bianca's voice softened, laced with a hint of hurt.
13:32Dominic.
13:33In our tradition, the claiming only happens once in a lifetime.
13:37I know this one's fake, but can we at least finish the ritual?
13:41I know you love Elena.
13:43She said, her voice dropping to a whisper.
13:46But just for tonight, can you pretend I'm your bride?
13:51Just tonight.
13:52Dominic said nothing.
13:54Bianca bowed her head.
13:56Her lashes fluttering.
13:58Don't step right!
14:00Don't step right!
14:01Don't step right!
14:01Don't step right!
14:01Dominic picked up his glass, linking arms with Bianca.
14:04Firelight danced across both their faces.
14:06Cheers and laughter erupted around them.
14:08Loud enough to rattle the walls, he drank.
14:10But his eyes kept straying to the dark road beyond the estate.
14:14The same road he'd carried Bianca down tonight.
14:16At the gate, he'd run into Luca Santoro.
14:18They'd met years ago at some family party.
14:20They'd had a few drinks together.
14:23Acquaintances at best.
14:24That man had been quiet but steady.
14:26The kind of man you could trust with your life.
14:29Tonite Luca had been carrying someone too.
14:31Said she was from another family.
14:33She'd been thin, lying quietly on Luca's back.
14:35Only a glimpse of her neck was visible.
14:37The line of that neck, the curve of her bowed head.
14:40It had felt strangely familiar.
14:42But Bianca had cried out in pain, so he hadn't looked again.
14:45Now thinking back that silhouette, Dominic.
14:51Dominic?
14:52Is that okay?
14:54Yeah.
14:55He nodded, distracted.
14:56Then he stepped aside, pulled out his phone, and dialed Elena's number.
15:00He needed to explain.
15:02He needed to make sure she didn't misunderstand.
15:14Finally, someone picked up.
15:16Hello?
15:17Let me talk to Elena.
15:19Elena?
15:21The woman paused, said something to someone nearby, then came back.
15:25She's not here.
15:26We're packing up her stuff to send over.
15:29Send over?
15:30Send where?
15:35Dominic's grip tightened on the phone.
15:37Elena never lets her phone leave her hand.
15:39Where are you sending her things?
15:42The woman on the other end hesitated.
15:44Not expecting the question.
15:47I'm Elena's aunt.
15:48We have to pack her things and send them to her husband's house.
15:52Husband's house?
15:52He paused.
15:53So Elena was preparing to move back in with him.
15:56Auntie, about the claiming tonight-
15:58Dominic's throat moved.
15:59There was a bit of a mix-up.
16:00Feeling a bit guilty.
16:01Did Elena say anything?
16:02No.
16:03Several families did claimings tonight.
16:05What would Elena have to say?
16:07Despite the words, a sense of unease surged in him.
16:10Just as he was about to ask more, the aunt interrupted him hurriedly.
16:15Oh, I can't talk anymore.
16:17We're busy packing.
16:18Both Elena and Bianca were taken tonight.
16:20We have to get their things ready.
16:22Dominic froze.
16:26Dominic froze.
16:27What did she mean, both were taken?
16:31Didn't he only take Bianca?
16:33As for Elena, she would never go with someone she didn't love.
16:36He gripped the phone.
16:37Auntie, you said Elena was taken?
16:40Yes, by the Santorati family.
16:43Dominic's throat tightened.
16:44He couldn't speak.
16:45He suddenly remembered something.
16:46And his mind exploded, Santoro.
16:48Luca, the man he met at the gate.
16:50The one carrying a girl saying she was his bride.
16:53That silhouette that looks so familiar.
16:56Elena?
16:56She didn't fight?
16:57Fight?
16:58Why would she?
16:59Acclaiming isn't a bad thing.
17:00She was as quiet as could be.
17:02She just went with him.
17:03We all thought it was strange.
17:05With her temper, shouldn't she have beaten the man?
17:07But nothing happened.
17:08She just let him carry her away.
17:10Dominic's hand began to shake.
17:12Quiet as could be.
17:13Just let him carry her away.
17:14No fight.
17:15No curse.
17:16No resistance.
17:17No.
17:18That wasn't Elena.
17:19That wasn't the Elena he knew.
17:21He remembered talking to Elena about claimings before.
17:24She had sat on his doorstep, swinging her legs, speaking excitedly.
17:27The girls in Moretti family, if they're claimed by someone they don't like, they don't just let them.
17:32They kick, bite, and scratch.
17:35They fight until the man gives up himself.
17:37He had teased her then.
17:38You're so wild.
17:40Who would dare claim you?
17:42She had rolled her eyes, her chin held high.
17:44Well, it depends on who's coming.
17:45If it's you, she had stopped suddenly, her face flushing as she turned away.
17:50Anyway, if it's you, I'd just put on a show of struggling a little, for appearances.
17:55I teased her just a little.
17:56Just a little?
17:58Three times at most, she glared at him, then laughed, her eyes bright like mountain stars.
18:05If you came to claim me, I'd probably be the first to jump on your back so you wouldn't have
18:08to take those hits.
18:10He had thought then, this girl is so foolish.
18:15Auntie, when was she taken?
18:18Tonight, right after you left.
18:20Dominic opened his mouth, but not a single word came out.
18:23Hello?
18:24Hello?
18:24Dominic?
18:25Are you still there?
18:26I'm here.
18:27Why are you asking so much?
18:30Elena's husband will take care of her.
18:32You claimed Bianca tonight, didn't you?
18:34That poor girl's had it rough.
18:36Take good care of her.
18:39Alright, I have to go.
18:41We're still packing.
18:43Elena left in such a hurry, she forgot so many things.
18:47We have to get them to her.
18:48Bye now.
18:49The dial tone rang in his ears, a steady hammering sound, over and over.
18:54He stood at the edge of the crowd, white-knuckling his phone.
18:57Around him were songs, laughter, music, all the noise of celebration.
19:01Simone shoved a drink into his hand, tugging him toward the dance floor.
19:06Bianca waved at him from across the fire, a soft smile on her face.
19:09But he couldn't hear a thing, while he'd been carrying Bianca away.
19:13Elena had been lying on another man's back.
19:15They had passed each other in the dark.
19:17He'd thought she would fight, scream, resist.
19:19But she did nothing.
