Short filmTranscript
00:06Ten years after I take her place in the marriage, my sister suddenly comes back.
00:11Elena! You are shameless! That's your brother-in-law! You slept with him!
00:16Back then, she gives birth, then fakes her death on the wedding day, leaving behind her son and
00:22her fiancé. The Valentinos are the most powerful mafia family in New York. My parents don't dare
00:28offend them, so they send me to the wedding right after I graduate. For ten years, I become
00:33a proper wife and a responsible mother. Now she's done playing and wants to come back to
00:38claim the marriage. All these years have changed me. I'm no longer that invisible girl living
00:44in her shadow. No, we are legally married. Elena! What do you mean? Don't forget, I'm the
00:55one engaged to Dante. Now that I'm back, you think you're still the godmother of the Valentino
01:00family? Sis, I don't know what you're talking about. My husband and I are doing just fine.
01:11Over the years, I help Dante run the family business. With my own ability, I take control
01:16of the underground port operations on the East Coast. I make the Valentino family even stronger.
01:21There may be no love between Dante and me, but we have something more solid than love.
01:25That is benefit. That's why I'm so sure of myself.
01:30My gaze stays steady. My parents stand to the side, completely at a loss.
01:39Mom! Elena's lost her mind! Elena! It wasn't for me! Without the Valentinos, how would our company
01:48ever grow this big? Mom sneaks a glance at me.
01:53But you ran from the wedding. You even faked your death. All these years, not a single word from you.
02:02There was no bride at the ceremony. If not for Elena, Dante would have been humiliated. He would
02:09never let it go! Our family would be finished!
02:14Serena's expression freezes for a second.
02:17I just wasn't ready to get married back then. I'm back now, aren't I? Besides, you know how arrogant
02:25the Valentinos are. They already looked down on us. And I had a child out of wedlock. If I married
02:32into that family back then, I'd just be walking into humiliation. Why are you back?
02:43Serena looks completely justified. Now that the Valentino family accepts you,
02:49they'll definitely accept me too. Isn't that perfect? If I marry Dante now, they won't treat me badly.
02:59Luca can finally see his real mother. This is good for everyone.
03:07Elena, you're free now. You can finally go find your own happiness.
03:12All I see is the innocence shaped by a lifetime of being spoiled and favored. She truly believes that I,
03:18the unwanted daughter in this family, am meant to sacrifice for her.
03:24I'm very satisfied with my life now. Sis, you're the one who needs to face reality.
03:39With that, I turn and walk out of this loveless house. I don't know how Serena feels behind me,
03:44but it can't be good. I drag my exhausted body back home. These days, I'm busy with the port,
03:53working late almost every night. I step inside and rub my temples. I know Serena would come back
03:59someday, but when the day really comes, it still catches me off guard, noticing a pair of men's
04:04shoes on the floor. I pause for a second. You're back?
04:08Then put on a proper smile. Dante stands there in black silk pajamas.
04:16Even something so plain can't hide his broad shoulders and narrow waist,
04:20his tall frame, his striking face. Back when Serena and Dante are together, they are deeply in love.
04:26That's why Luca is born before the wedding. But when the bride is suddenly switched to me,
04:31he doesn't object. He goes through with the ceremony like nothing happens. If he knows Serena is back,
04:37what will he do?
04:41My sister's back.
04:49Why are you so tired? Haven't you been resting properly these days?
04:54There's too much going on at the company. Did you have a good time? How's Luca?
04:59Luca's happy. He's already asleep from exhaustion. The only regret is that you weren't there. Next time,
05:06let's go out as a family of three. I miss you. I freeze in place. My mind filled entirely with
05:11what Serena said during the day. I don't respond the way I used to anymore. I immediately sense his
05:16mood shift. Dante smiles and cuts in before I finish. You've been too tired lately. Go take a
05:25bath and get some sleep. Okay. His gaze locked tightly on my retreating figure, as if something
05:33inside him is slowly breaking. I just drive out of the house when I see a familiar figure ahead. Serena
05:42sees my car too. She suddenly rushes right in front of me.
05:48Elena! Stop pretending you're dead inside! You're sleeping with your sister's fiancé! Have you no shame?
05:59What? Embarrassed? Or afraid Dante will find out I'm back and dumped? Serena, you are seriously
06:04interfering in my life. This is the last warning. Stay away from me. Stop pretending. You're just scared.
06:09You've lived in my shadow since we were kids. Jealousy is normal. Wanting to replace me makes
06:13sense. Too bad. Replacements always get kicked out. I'll wait right here. Once I see Dante,
06:17I'll explain everything. He will forgive me. And Luca is my child. You will never take my place.
06:28Serena has been spoiled since childhood. She never learned boundaries. As long as something doesn't
06:33go her way, she throws the whole world into chaos. As the family heir, Serena is trained from childhood to
06:39manage the family business. She likes to play, so I write all the plans for her.
06:50She takes my work without hesitation, even tossing me a few hundred dollars. Like it's a reward.
06:56In high school, she often hangs out with school playboys and bullies others.
07:02Every time it gets exposed, she pushes it all onto me. I'm sorry. It was her who made me do
07:07this.
07:09I take all the punishment for her. I often come home covered in injuries. My parents only give me
07:14a few half-hearted words of concern and tell me to go see a doctor myself. In college, she meets
07:20Dante
07:20through an off-campus event. They perform in bars and form a temporary band. Within two months, while I'm
07:27running from one part-time job to another, they are on stage, wasting their youth in reckless freedom.
07:33I once thought that after graduation, I would finally save enough money and leave this family
07:37behind. Until that night. As soon as she gets home, she starts feeling unwell. My parents panic and rush
07:46her to the hospital overnight. Hello? Yes, we need an ambulance.
07:50Serena is pregnant. For a family heir, getting pregnant out of wedlock is already a scandal. But
07:59my parents don't blame Serena at all. Instead, they go straight to the Valentino family to negotiate,
08:05even giving up part of our underground business. My family and the Valentinos agree on the marriage.
08:10Once the baby is born, there will be a wedding. But the next morning, Serena disappears.
08:19We still have another daughter. Yes. Elena, hurry. Your sister is gone. At this point,
08:24only you can take her place. My first 20 years are spent in Serena's shadow. And now,
08:29even the rest of my life is supposed to be sacrificed for her. For the first time, I break.
08:34Why should I be responsible for her choices? It's always been like this since we were kids.
08:39She's your sister.
08:43Yes, your sister went too far this time. But you can't just watch our family fall apart. The
08:48guests are already waiting for the bride. I'm not getting married. If anyone forces me, I will die.
08:55I don't know if they're scared. I'll actually do it. Or scared of the trouble a death would bring.
09:00But I don't care anymore. I've already graduated. Once I find a job, I'll finally be free.
09:07Can I talk to you alone? 30 minutes later. I'm already in the wedding dress. I walk through the
09:15entire wedding with a smile that looks more like I'm about to cry. My thoughts drift back as I stand
09:23in front of the floor to ceiling window, looking down at the city lights below. This position,
09:28I fought for it for 10 years.
09:35What are you thinking about? I didn't even notice you when I came in.
09:38I'm thinking about tomorrow's family meeting.
09:40I believe in you. Your ability is obvious to everyone.
09:43What are you doing here? Aren't you busy?
09:45Nothing important. I came to pick you up from work. Also, Luca wants to talk about that new movie
09:49that just came out tomorrow. That night, when I get home, I don't see Serena anywhere.
09:58Her absence is unusually quiet. I think maybe my parents have locked her at home to protect the
10:03family's interests. These days I'm too exhausted, both mentally and physically. That night, I fall
10:10asleep the moment I hit the bed. In the middle of the night, a strong force pulls me into an
10:16embrace.
10:16I murmur in discomfort, my eyelids too heavy to open.
10:22At the Mafia family meeting, important figures from every Mafia family are present.
10:27I move through the crowd, handling greetings, only stealing a moment to step into the back lounge.
10:33Luca sits obediently on the sofa waiting for me. When he sees me, his eyes light up.
10:39Mommy, after this is over, we're going to the movie, right?
10:42Of course. When has mom or dad ever broken a promise to you?
10:51Back in the main hall, my gaze lands on a familiar figure. Not far away, Serena is pulling Dante aside,
10:58saying something urgently.
11:02The next second, Serena notices me.
11:04I'm your wife! She's the shameless one who stole you and my child!
11:09In an instant, every eye in the room turns toward me.
11:23Serena stands beside Dante with a pitiful expression, as if she is the most wronged person in the world.
11:28Dante, tell them! Tell everyone we are the ones who truly love each other!
11:32I was just confused back then. I wasn't ready for marriage, but none of that is a reason for Elena
11:37to steal my place!
11:39Who is she? Isn't Mr. Valentino and his wife always very close?
11:43Wait, are they saying young Master Luca is actually her child with Mr. Valentino?
11:53Dante stays silent.
11:58Elena, you knew about my relationship with Dante! You knew Luca is my child! So why did you take my
12:07place?
12:07Are you that desperate for a man? Just to marry into power? You even stole your own sister's fiancé!
12:13All eyes in the room land on me, probing, judging, dissecting my relationship with Serena.
12:22Serena, this is not the place for your drama. Is it not?
12:26What? Elena, just get a divorce. This marriage was a mistake from the very beginning. It will ruin your whole
12:34life!
12:35Don't you have any feelings for your sister? She's never suffered a day in her life!
12:39How can you bear to let her spend the rest of her life watching the man she loves be with
12:42her own sister?!
12:43Are you trying to drive her into depression for life?!
12:49Who was it that begged me to take her place in the first place? Serena never suffered,
12:54so I'm the one who deserves to suffer? My entire life has been delayed by them!
13:05My wife has always been Elena. Oh my god! Mr. Right!
13:14From the beginning to the end.
13:26Dante! You- have you forgotten what we had in the past?!
13:32Past? What past? Serena, I'll say it again. This is not the place for your drama,
13:37and it's not the place for you to chase status.
13:42Chase status?! Yes. Or are you saying it wasn't you who realized your sister's husband,
13:46is the head of the Valentinos, and decided to climb your way back in?
13:51Oh. So it's the sister who can't stand seeing her breadling doing well.
13:55No wonder no one ever even heard of the Valentino wife having a sister before.
13:59If you ask me, the parents aren't any better either. Pulling something like this today,
14:03they're clearly trying to embarrass Mrs. Valentino.
14:11Elena! Stop slandering me!
14:22Dante. Do you really feel nothing for me at all?
14:30Dante's entire aura turns ice cold. He says nothing.
14:34Not long after, several security guards rush in, visibly panicked.
14:38Sorry, sir. This is our mistake. This woman said she was the madam's sister,
14:42so we let her in. Serena's expression tightens immediately, full of alertness.
14:48What are you doing?! I am Luca's biological mother! I have blood ties to the Valentino family!
14:56Do you have an invitation for today's meeting? You came into a private family meeting without
15:00an invitation and caused a scene. Guards, take her out. The hall is full of major families watching.
15:06I cannot allow the Valentino name to be humiliated here, no matter what. Two guards step forward,
15:11and move towards Serena. I watch as the guards drag a hysterical Serena away.
15:21Don't worry. What happened tonight won't be spread around. He is as calm as ever. I meet his deep gaze,
15:27but there is no sign of emotional disturbance in it. Too calm. The current Dante has inherited the
15:33Valentino, Don's coldness, his calculation, his pure focus on profit and control. Isn't this exactly why I
15:40chose to marry him in the first place? Rest for a while. After the meeting, we go home together.
15:59Dante! Luca is gone!
16:06The sofa where Luca should have been sitting is empty. Only a crumpled elephant toy lies alone on the carpet.
16:13It's the toy Luca never lets go of. Dante turns sharply toward the guards at the door.
16:18Who came in here just now? The head of security turns pale, stammering.
16:22No. No one. We were guarding the entrance the whole time. The only person who went in was Mrs.
16:27Valentino. I went in, but Luca was still here. He was being good. He said he would wait for me
16:35to
16:35finish work. I raised Luca myself. In my eyes, he is already my own child. Serena may be hateful,
16:42but Luca is innocent. And now, all I can hope for is that whatever motherly instinct she has left,
16:48is enough not to hurt him. Check the surveillance. Lock down all exits. No one leaves this venue.
17:01We rush to the security control room. The guards check the footage and find the hallway cameras are
17:06down. Only the lounge camera is still working. On the screen, Luca is sitting quietly on the sofa,
17:11waiting for me like a good boy. Then the door suddenly opens. He sees something. And without
17:16hesitation, he walks out. My breath stops. It's Serena! She must have taken him while
17:22everyone was in the main hall! Dante's face turns dark, almost terrifying. He looks at me and says
17:27calmly, Don't worry. Serena wouldn't dare do anything reckless. He pulls out his phone.
17:35Ryan, go to the Rato estate. I want to know exactly where Serena is right now. We take a convoy
17:40and
17:40drive to the Rati family home. Inside the car, Dante holds my hand tightly. Nothing will happen,
17:46Elena. Serena won't hurt Luca. She's just trying to use him to force our hand. I turn to him. Force
17:52our
17:52hand? What does she even want? Money? Or you? We arrive at the Rati family estate.
18:02In the living room, Serena is holding Luca while watching television. The moment Luca sees me and
18:07Dante, he beams and calls out happily. Mommy! Daddy! He still doesn't realize he's in danger.
18:14My breathing steadies slightly. At least I see with my own eyes that Luca is safe. Say it.
18:20What do you want? Serena ignores me. Her expression turns soft and wrongfully hurt. I just want
18:25everything to go back to how it was. Dante, don't you remember? We were happy once.
18:29Luca is my biological child. How could I ever hurt him? But I know her. Serena has always been selfish.
18:36The only person she ever truly cares about is herself. Dante steps forward. His presence alone
18:41makes the room feel suffocating. Serena, put the child down. But Serena acts like she doesn't hear
18:47him. Instead, she holds Luca even tighter. Luca, look. Mommy and Daddy are here to take you home.
18:57But tell me, do you want to live with your real mother? Luca, uncomfortable in her grip,
19:02he looks toward me, small and frightened. Mommy, I want to go home. The mommy he calls has always
19:08been me. Serena's smile freezes for a split second. My chest tightens as I look at Luca.
19:16I am your real mother. I carried you for 10 months and gave birth to you. Then she raises her
19:22hand,
19:22ready to strike Luca again. At that moment, the front door of the Roddy estate is suddenly hit open.
19:30Dante's mother walks in. I gently call out, Mom. Mrs. Valentino, I'm Serena. You remember me,
19:38right? I was engaged to Dante. I'm his real wife. Something about her feels off. Too intense. Too unstable.
19:44No. I was with Dante. We were together. We- Enough. Dante and Elena have always had a stable
19:52marriage. The Valentino family does not need another so-called godmother. Serena collapses
19:57onto the floor, completely drained. I know her acceptance of me has never been about affection.
20:02It's because I bring value to the Valentino family, nothing more.
20:10Serena instinctively reaches out in the air, trying to grab him, but she only catches nothing.
20:14Before leaving, I glance back at her. Her lips are pale. Her face looks worse than ever. Something
20:19about this doesn't add up. Serena has always been selfish and spoiled, but she has never been this
20:23obsessed. This unstable about joining the Valentino family. Unless, there is something she is desperate
20:28to hide. Something that forces her to rush into this marriage. After that day, I don't see Serena for
20:33a long time. My parents lock her up at home, but not because they suddenly developed a conscience.
20:37It is because Dante steps in. He pressures the Roddy family's business directly.
20:41My family is just a small family, completely insignificant, compared to the Valentino family.
20:46And now, Dante has taken a lot of our underground business away. Only then, do my parents finally
20:50feel real panic. In the end, they have no choice but to keep Serena confined at home.
20:58Serena's updates stopped completely. I no longer want to return to that cold home,
21:02but her existence is still a threat I cannot ignore. I arrange for a driver to take Luca to and
21:06come from school every day, making sure he is always safe. What I'm relieved about is that Luca is
21:10strong. That incident didn't leave much of a shadow on him. He is still the same bright,
21:14healthy child at this time. My assistant brings me a piece of news that makes me pause. My mother
21:19has started buying baby supplies and medication meant to stabilize pregnant women's emotions. In that
21:24instant, everything in my mind clicks into place. No wonder I always felt something was off about Serena.
21:29Without hesitation, I send people to secretly investigate what Serena has been doing these 10
21:34years abroad. The information isn't hard to trace. Half a month later, I receive a full report on Serena's
21:39life overseas. For the 10 years abroad, Serena's life remains just as reckless and chaotic as ever. One
21:49month before returning home, she becomes pregnant. The child's father is a man she meets during a one-night
21:54stand in a bar adrift with no fixed life. At first, Serena doesn't take the pregnancy seriously. She
22:00has always been used to someone cleaning up after her mistakes. Maybe she even believes this child will
22:05be like Luca, something that won't affect her life at all. But reality is different this time. She
22:09can't even take care of herself properly. Years of staying up late, drinking heavily, and an unstable
22:13private life slowly destroy her condition. On top of that, her money runs low. The drop in living standards,
22:18combined with pregnancy hormones, pushes her mental state further into instability. In the end,
22:23she has no choice but to return home. And that leads to everything that bothers.
22:26I can guess what happened next. This experience probably made her realize how important money
22:31really is. And my parents, after she returned, must have told her about my marriage to Dante.
22:35She wants to become part of the Valentino family again. Not just for status, but so her unborn child
22:40has a place to belong. And so she can secure a stable life again. But what she didn't expect,
22:45is that this time, no one is willing to indulge her anymore.
22:51Serena is probably about to give birth during these days of being locked away. There is no way
22:55her pregnancy can stay hidden much longer. I lock the file into the safe and turn my gaze toward the
23:01wall. Luca is in the photo, smiling brightly while hugging his elephant toy. I think to myself,
23:05I will never let Luca know any of this. He deserves a normal, happy childhood.
23:10Elena. Dante's voice pulls me back as he enters the room. I'm still standing in front of the safe,
23:15lost in thought. Tomorrow we're going to celebrate my mother's birthday.
23:18I take the water he hands me. My fingers accidentally brush against the bracelet on
23:22his wrist. It was something I gave him after our marriage. Back then, I didn't have much money,
23:27so I could only afford a simple silver bracelet. The next morning, Dante and I are just finishing,
23:33getting ready when the butler rushes in. Sir, madam. Someone from the Rato family is here.
23:40They said your sister is about to give birth. I freeze for a moment, but not because Serena is
23:49about to give birth, rather. Because the Rato family actually let this news leak out. From what
23:54I understand, the Rato family should have been trying to keep Serena's pregnancy hidden. After all,
23:58it's not something they can afford to make public. Serena's condition is probably not good anymore.
24:03Do you want to go? I want to see it. We drive to the hospital, outside the delivery room. My
24:09parents
24:09are sitting on the chairs, exhausted. In just a few months, their hair has turned almost completely
24:14gray. The pressure from the company and Serena's situation has drained them completely. Their eyes
24:19land on me, but they hesitate, not daring to greet me. I ignore them and focus on the closed doors
24:24of
24:24the delivery room in front of me. Serena's delivery is premature. The operating room light finally turns
24:32off, and the doctor walks out looking exhausted. Mrs. Serena suffered massive bleeding. She won't
24:38make it much longer. We did everything we could. My parents collapse instantly. My father sinks onto
24:44the floor beside the chair, and my mother's face turns completely blank with despair. Then, as if
24:49clinging to the last thread of hope, my mother rushes forward. The baby? What about the baby? The doctor
24:54hesitates for a moment. Due to irregular lifestyle during pregnancy, the fetus condition is not stable. A nurse
25:02carries the baby out. It is a premature infant, weighing less than three pounds. The skin is
25:06wrinkled, covered in red patches. The limbs are twisted in an unnatural position. My parents nearly
25:12faint at the sight. Inside the delivery room, Serena's screams of agony echoes sharply, tearing through
25:17the air. She is dying. A nurse pushes the hospital bed out. Serena lies on it, her face pale like
25:24paper.
25:25As she passes me, her eyes suddenly widen and lock onto mine. With great effort, she raises her hand.
25:29Everyone stops moving. I step forward and lean down. I know she has something to say. Serena grits
25:34her teeth and whispers into my ear. The Valentinos chose you because of benefit. This marriage,
25:41you will never be happy. A faint smile forms on my lips. Only, she can hear my reply. It doesn't
25:48matter.
25:49I don't try to analyze how much of this marriage is love and how much is benefit. I also don't
25:54believe
25:54pure love should exist without any interest. Love and benefit were never meant to cancel each other
25:59out. All I know is that my life right now fits me well. And that is enough. Serena's eyes widen
26:04slightly. So many emotions gather in them. Unwillingness. Confusion. Hatred. And finally,
26:10something like release. Then her gaze goes dim. Her hand loses strength and falls onto the bed.
26:15In an instant, my parents' cries echo through the hospital. Dante takes my hand. As we walk out of
26:24the hospital, the sunlight feels a little too bright. I narrow my eyes instinctively. Dante pulls me
26:29slightly closer to his side, using his shadow to block part of the light for me. Serena's death is
26:33like a stone thrown into a lake. It stirs a brief ripple. Then everything quickly returns to calm.
26:38My parents take in the deformed child Serena leaves behind. Even though it brings them endless
26:42hardship, it is a choice they make willingly. My career continues to grow. At the right time,
26:47I separate the company I built from the Valentino family. Dante doesn't agree with my decision. But
26:51in the end, he says nothing. I understand his unease. Yet I still don't open up to him. One night,
26:56Dante walks up to me. Elena, we… marriage should be honest. We should say what we mean, right?
27:01I reply calmly. If saying it out loud will affect our relationship, then it's better left unsaid.
27:09Dante tightens his grip on the glass in his hand, then turns and walks away. As long as this remains
27:14unspoken, he will always be the one uneasy in this relationship. And I will always stand in control.
27:19He wants to ask me which matters more, love or be Befit. The answer I never say is simple. What
27:25matters most is myself. For me, I come first. As for love or benefit, their importance only depends on
27:31what I choose at the moment.
27:32And I come first.
27:32The answer is essential.
27:33As for love and faith, it's the one who is the one who speaks to me.
