Short filmTranscript
00:00Dante, baby, that woman hit me.
00:04Who dared to touch you? I'll break their hands.
00:09Then start with mine, Dante.
00:13He protected the wrong woman.
00:16Donna Valeria and I came to the Moretti family's private island for a few days of rest.
00:21The island wasn't open to the public.
00:23Only registered guests of the family were permitted to stay in the guest wing.
00:26We checked in quietly, choosing not to reveal our identities, wanting nothing more than a low-key getaway.
00:31After settling into our villa, we headed to the guest wing pool.
00:34But a woman dripping in designer labels pinched her nose and sneered at us.
00:38This pool is reserved for the island's VIP guests.
00:41How did two noblesses like you get access?
00:43Sharing the same water with you two? I'm genuinely afraid I'll catch a disease.
00:48Valeria and I exchanged a look. I said coldly.
00:50The guest wing pool is open to every registered guest on this island.
00:53If you can't handle that, take it up with management.
00:56The woman's brows shot up.
00:58You dare talk to me like that?
00:59My husband owns this entire island, and this suite is reserved for me year-round.
01:03I'm ordering you to get out right now.
01:05You reek of poverty. You're contaminating the water.
01:08Valeria and I locked eyes, and we both saw the same ice-cold fury.
01:11This island was under Dante Moretti's name.
01:13So when exactly did he become someone else's husband?
01:16We deliberately kept a low profile, but we hadn't expected to run into this.
01:20Valeria had been a powerhouse her entire life.
01:22She didn't spare the woman a second glance.
01:25Who the hell are you to order us around?
01:28You're the one who should get out.
01:30The only thing reeking here is your complete lack of class.
01:34Valeria turned to me.
01:36Serena, let's keep swimming and ignore her.
01:38When we get back, you and I will ask Dante together what exactly is going on.
01:45The woman's face went crimson at being dismissed, and then a vicious smile crept across her lips.
01:50Fine. Since you love swimming so much, you can stay in the water and never come out.
01:55She made a call, and a hulking man appeared, grinning obsequiously.
01:58Bianca, you called? Want me to teach you some new strokes?
02:02Vince. Vince. Go teach these two delusional women a lesson they won't forget.
02:07Vince understood immediately, cracking his knuckles.
02:10Don't worry, Bianca. I used to run combat drills in the water. I know exactly how to break someone in
02:17a pool.
02:17He vaulted into the water and, while Valeria and I were off guard, seized her head with both hands and
02:22shoved her under.
02:23Valeria was too old to fight his brute strength. She choked instantly, thrashing and clawing at the surface.
02:28I lunged at him to tear him off, but he spun fast, forcing my head under and flooding my lungs
02:33with chlorine.
02:34I finally sank my teeth into his forearm, and only then did he let go.
02:37I pulled Valeria up immediately, her eyes had rolled back, and she coughed so violently I thought her lungs would
02:43come up.
02:43She fixed the woman with a murderous stare.
02:46Do you understand you could kill someone doing that? You've just signed your own death warrant.
02:52When my enforcers find out what you've done, the Marachi Council will make you disappear.
02:57The woman shrugged.
02:59So what if someone dies? My husband runs operations across the country what he makes in one day could buy
03:04your whole bloodline.
03:05You should have found out who I were before you crossed me.
03:10This island was one of many assets Valeria had handed to her son to manage, but Dante had gone further.
03:16He'd replaced the island's security with his own people and instructed the staff to treat this woman as the lady
03:21of the estate.
03:22So that was why she played mistress of the house with such confidence.
03:25Did Dante Moretti have a second wife?
03:27I patted Valeria's back to calm her down, and asked in a low.
03:30Your husband? Is his name Dante Moretti?
03:34She preened, dripping arrogance.
03:36That's right. At least you've heard of him.
03:38If you two get on your knees right now, apologize, and scrub this pool clean, I might consider letting you
03:44go.
03:45When he gets here, you won't walk away from this.
03:47My blood ran cold.
03:49Dante, who had sworn eternal loyalty to me, who had vowed before God and the family to be faithful, had
03:54he truly betrayed me.
03:55My gaze drifted to the lounge chair by the pool.
03:58A single black rose rested on the towel, its stem wrapped in a black ribbon.
04:01I'd seen the same black rose ink to cross Dante's ribs.
04:04He told me he got it because I loved roses.
04:06A permanent tribute to me.
04:08What a fool I'd been, moved to tears over what turned out to be their matching symbol.
04:12Funny because Dante Moretti's wife's name is Serena Val and she sure as hell doesn't look like you.
04:16You're the side piece?
04:18And you have the nerve to be this loud about it?
04:21Call Dante here right now.
04:23I want to see exactly how he plans to make us pay.
04:27My calling her a side piece hit a nerve.
04:29Love doesn't care who came first.
04:31The one who isn't loved is the real outsider.
04:35My husband happens to be on his way to see me right now.
04:37I'll have him here in minutes, so don't you dare move.
04:40She dialed and her voice morphed into syrupy sweetness.
04:43Dante, baby, when are you getting here?
04:45I'm at the pool and two older women are bullying me.
04:48I'm scared all alone.
04:50Come and deal with them for me.
04:51He'll be here in 30 minutes.
04:53You're both dead when he arrived.
04:55Knowing Dante had been faking devotion to my face while sleeping with another woman made my stomach turn.
05:00Valeria could read my expression and she ground her teeth.
05:03Dante, that animal, just like his father.
05:09Everything I gave him, I can take right back.
05:12Valeria despised infidelity more than anything.
05:15It was her ex-husband's affair with a young model that had ended their marriage, and she'd built the empire
05:20alone.
05:20She never imagined the son she raised would carry the same rotten blood.
05:24And I, Serena Vale, hadn't married Dante from a position of weakness.
05:27My family's name carried just as much weight as his.
05:30Just then, I noticed Valeria's face had gone chalk white.
05:33I quickly took her arm to help her out.
05:35But Bianca flicked her wrist, and Vince launched himself onto the pool deck, planting a savage kick square in Valeria's
05:41chest as she climbed the ladder.
05:42Valeria crashed back into the water, and I dove after her.
05:47Bianca held with laughter from the deck.
05:49You two look like a pair of drowning ducks.
05:52You love the water so much?
05:54Then stay in it.
05:56Vince, don't let them out until my husband arrives.
05:59After that, every time Valeria or I tried to climb out, a boot to the face sent us back in.
06:04Our strength was draining fast.
06:05Valeria was clutching her chest, gasping, unable to speak.
06:09I held her against me and screamed toward the deck.
06:11Are you trying to commit murder?
06:13She has a heart condition!
06:14Let us out right now!
06:16When Dante gets here, you will regret this!
06:19Vince's face flickered with panic, and he looked to Bianca.
06:22Old women and their little tricks, faking a heart attack now?
06:24You were swimming just fine a minute ago.
06:27Vince, shut off the pool heater.
06:30Let's see how long she can keep up the act.
06:31Her audacity made the veins in my temples throb.
06:34I'm warning you.
06:35If someone dies in this pool, the Moretti Council will bury this island with you on it.
06:42She picked up a glass of red wine, sipped it casually, and drawled.
06:45Drop the act.
06:46If you want out, beg me.
06:48Valeria gripped my arm.
06:50Her voice was trembling.
06:52I have never bowed my head to anyone in my life, let alone a worthless creature like her.
06:56Serena, I can hold on.
06:58When Dante gets here, I will never forgive him.
07:02Don't worry.
07:03Men have ruined my life once already.
07:05I will stand on your side.
07:08Seeing we still refuse to grovel, Bianca's eyes glinted with malice.
07:12Go to the service freezer and bring two drums of ice.
07:15Let's cool them down.
07:17Industrial ice was dumped into the pool, and the temperature plunged.
07:20I was shaking uncontrollably.
07:22Valeria's lips had turned purple, and her consciousness was slipping away.
07:25I slapped her face and got no response.
07:27I swam for the edge, dragging her with me.
07:29But Vince knocked us back again and again with a metal pole.
07:32I screamed until my voice cracked.
07:34She's dying!
07:36Let her out!
07:37If someone dies in this pool, this entire island operation goes down with it!
07:42Vince took one look at Valeria's face and knew it was real.
07:45He turned to Bianca urgently.
07:47Bianca, the older woman looks bad.
07:49Maybe let her out.
07:50If she dies in the pool, you'll never want to use it again.
07:54Bianca considered, then sneered.
07:56I said all they had to do was beg, and I'd think about letting them out.
08:00I looked at Valeria's failing body and abandoned every shred of pride.
08:04Please, I'm begging you.
08:07Let her out first.
08:09She has a heart condition and she will die.
08:12Didn't you just call me a side piece with no shame?
08:15Say that Serena Vale is nothing.
08:17A wife he never wanted, a woman he'll never touch again.
08:20And that Bianca is the one true Donna of the Moreci Empire.
08:24My nails dug into my palms until they bled.
08:28Serena Vale is nothing.
08:29A wife he never wanted, a woman he'll never touch again.
08:33Bianca is the one true Donna of the Moreci Empire.
08:38Is that enough?
08:39Now let her out!
08:40I said I'd think about it, and I've thought about it.
08:44No.
08:46I had no choice but to reveal Valeria's identity.
08:49You've gone too far!
08:51She is Dante Moretti's mother!
08:53If anything happens to her, when Dante arrives, he will end you.
08:58You desperate women will say anything.
09:01Now I'm supposed to believe Dante Moretti's mother, the real Donna,
09:04is splashing around in the guest wing pool with two noblings?
09:07Valeria was trembling in my arms, her breathing fading to almost nothing.
09:11Her heart condition had been pushed past its limit.
09:13Without her emergency medication, she would die.
09:16I screamed, my voice raw.
09:17Help!
09:18Somebody help us!
09:19She's dying!
09:20There was no one.
09:21Just then, the estate's resort manager came running.
09:24I tore my lungs open screaming at him.
09:27Help us!
09:28She's having a heart attack!
09:30Pull her out and activate the island medical team!
09:33The manager had met Valeria once years ago, but didn't recognize her now.
09:36One look at her condition told him this was real.
09:38He weighed the cost of crossing Bianca against the cost of a dead body.
09:42Miss Bianca, perhaps we should let them out.
09:44If something does happen, this pool will be a crime scene and you'll never use it again.
09:49Fine.
09:50For your sake, let them out.
09:56Valeria lay motionless on the stone deck.
09:58I sprinted to the changing room for our bag.
10:00With shaking hands, I fumbled out her emergency heart pills and was about to press them into her mouth.
10:05But Bianca kicked the bottle out of my hands, sending pills scattering across the wet stone and into the pool.
10:11She looked at my devastated face and laughed.
10:13Enough with the drama.
10:14I let you out, now get lost.
10:16Kiri launched me forward.
10:17I cracked my palm across Bianca's face with every ounce of rage in my body.
10:21If anything happens to her, I swear on my blood I will make you and Dante pay with everything you
10:26have!
10:26You psycho!
10:27I should have let you both drown!
10:29I lunged at her again, but Vince and the manager seized my shoulders, and Bianca slapped me across the face
10:34over and over.
10:35The searing pain snapped me back to clarity.
10:38Every second wasted was a second closer to Valeria's death.
10:41I wrenched free, grabbed my phone, and dialed Dante.
10:46Dante, mom's having a heart attack, we're at the island pool! Send the medical team immediately! If you wait any
10:51longer she's gone!
10:52Your mother has a heart condition, shouldn't she know better than to push herself?
10:56I'm in a meeting, call the medics yourself!
10:58He hung up without hesitation.
11:00I was shaking with fury, did he not even realize whose mother I was talking about?
11:04The next second, Bianca let out a delighted squeal toward the entrance.
11:07Dante, baby! You're finally here!
11:13She flung herself into the arms of the man walking in, clinging to him and pouting.
11:17What took you so long? Those two women were horrible to me!
11:22She showed him the red mark my slap had left, eyes brimming with tears.
11:26That woman hit me so hard my face is swollen. Make her pay, and then stay with me for a
11:32few extra days.
11:33The man examined her cheek, his voice darkening with fury.
11:36Who had the guts to lay a hand on you? I'll have their hands broken. Don't worry. I cleared my
11:42entire week just for you.
11:44This was the same man who'd hung up on me minutes ago.
11:46The same man who'd held me the night before, swearing he'd miss me every second.
11:50Every word had been a lie. Bianca wrapped herself around Dante's waist, parading him over to me.
11:55That's the woman who hit me, and that's her mother on the ground. Make them suffer!
12:00My voice carved from ice.
12:01Then start with mine, Dante.
12:02He went rigid, the color draining from his face.
12:05Serena, what are you doing here?
12:08I ground my teeth.
12:10If I weren't here, when would I have ever found out about your little island hideaway?
12:14Panic poured off him.
12:16Serena, let me explain. It's not what you think.
12:19Look, Dante. Look at who that is.
12:24Dante's soul visibly left his body.
12:29Mom. Mom, what happened to you?
12:32Everyone froze. Bianca's jaw dropped.
12:34Dante, that's really your mother? Then who is she? Is she Serena Val?
12:39The resort manager had gone the color of wet cement, and Vince, remembering what he'd done to us, could barely
12:44stand.
12:45Dante was already on his phone, barking orders to scramble the island's private medical team.
12:49They evacuated Valeria by emergency boat to the mainland hospital, and only after the doctors confirmed she was out of
12:55danger did I let myself breathe.
12:57The doctor's face was grim.
12:58Another minute, and she would have been beyond saving.
13:02Dante had heard the full story by now and was seething at Bianca.
13:05She tried to talk to him several times, and he ignored her completely.
13:08Bianca, unable to stand being sidelined, turned on me.
13:11Serena Vale, you deliberately hid your identities. You almost got Dante's mother killed. What kind of monster are you?
13:18You're a boring, frigid woman who Dante never loved. What do you have besides your family name? He's mine!
13:24Shut up, Bianca! Serena is my wife! That will never change!
13:29I warned you. If she ever found out about us, it was over. Get out of here. Now!
13:35Bianca threw her arms around him, tears falling on command.
13:38You told me I was the only one who made you feel alive. You love me! Why won't you admit
13:43it?
13:44Dante shoved her off and barked.
13:46Shut your mouth! We're done. Serena's the only woman I love. You were a mistake.
13:51Guards! Guards! Get her out of here!
13:53But Bianca latched onto Dante like a vine.
13:56Since she's so desperate to stay, let her. We still have unfinished business.
14:04Serena, what are you gonna do? She's young and stupid. Don't stoop to her level.
14:08I'll make her leave, and I swear you'll never see her again.
14:11I looked at him, and every trace of love was gone from my eyes.
14:14How generous of you, Dante. The woman who nearly killed your own mother, and you're shielding her.
14:20This is all your fault, Serena!
14:23If you told me she was Dante's mother, I never would have done it!
14:26You used his own mother to destroy what we have!
14:30I didn't waste another word.
14:32I told you exactly who she was, and you chose not to believe me.
14:36What you did was attempted murder, and I'm reporting this to the Moretti Council.
14:40Save your excuses for the family tribunal.
14:43I reached for my phone.
14:44Serena, does this really have to go that far?
14:49Biana didn't mean it, and my mother is fine now. Just let it go.
14:54I said coldly,
14:56Dante, would you dare say that to your mother's face?
15:01Serena, stop being unreasonable!
15:03Take it out on me if you want, but going after a young girl, is that the best you can
15:08do?
15:08This ends here. If you touch her, I'll turn on you myself.
15:11Bianca collapsed dramatically against him.
15:13Dante, I know I was wrong. I'm so cold, will you take me home?
15:19Dante glanced at me, hesitated, and draped his suit jacket over Bianca's shoulders.
15:24I need to take her back first.
15:26Stay here and watch over my mother. We'll talk when I return.
15:29I straightened my spine.
15:31There's nothing left to talk about, Dante. I want a divorce.
15:35Absolutely not. I will never agree to a divorce.
15:37Then, with one protective arm around Bianca, he walked out of the pool.
15:42Valeria woke not long after, seeing only me at her bedside.
15:46A flicker of disappointment crossed her eyes.
15:48Serena, I'm sorry you had to go through that alone.
15:52Did you see Dante? Did he come?
15:54He's the one who got you here.
15:56He had something urgent to handle, but he'll be back soon.
15:59I chose my words carefully. Valeria could hear every lie I was burying beneath my kindness.
16:04And when she opened her eyes again, the iron-willed Donna had returned.
16:07Serena, call him. If he still considers me his mother, he will be here in the next five minutes.
16:14I calculated the time. Dante should have dropped Bianca at the resort villa by now.
16:18The phone rang twice before someone picked up.
16:20Serena, you pathetic woman. Why can't you take a hint and disappear?
16:24Put Dante on. It's urgent. Valeria signaled me to switch to speakerphone.
16:29Bianca gave a sly little laugh. Fine, I'll ask him for you.
16:33But she didn't. Instead, she quietly put the phone on speaker without telling Dante the line was still open.
16:40We heard Bianca's voice.
16:42By the way, Serena called earlier. Something about your mother.
16:46Ignore her. I'll call her back when I leave.
16:48Bianca stretched out her words, derping honey.
16:51You're leaving so soon. I thought you promised the rest of the night was mine.
16:57You always know how to make me stay.
17:00But shouldn't you go? What if your mother's condition is worse? What if she needs you?
17:05She survived worst. She'll outlive us all. She can wait.
17:08His low laugh, her voice, the unmistakable intimacy between them, all of it came through the line.
17:13Watching the color drain from Valeria's face, I killed the call.
17:16This time, her heart was truly broken.
17:18Knowing his mother was lying in a hospital bed, Dante had chosen to stay with his mistress,
17:23and dismissed her as if she were nothing. There was no softness left in them.
17:26Serena, call Luca Morelli.
17:29Luca?
17:30My brother's son. The only man in this family who still understands loyalty.
17:34She inhaled slowly.
17:35Tell him the Donna is awake.
17:38Tell him I need someone I can still trust.
17:45Nearly an hour later, Luca Morelli arrived. I knew his name, though I had only seen him twice
17:50from a distance. He was the son of Valeria's late younger brother, a Morelli by blood and
17:54reputation. Quiet, disciplined, and trusted by the old guard in a way Dante had never bothered
17:59to earn. He did not rush in shouting. He did not bring flowers, excuses, or panic. He came in a
18:05black
18:05coat, rain still clinging to his broad shoulders, with two quiet men behind him and a doctor already
18:10following his orders. He was tall, dark-haired, and sharply dressed, with the kind of stillness that
18:15made a room lower its voice before he said a word. His gaze moved from Valeria's pale face to my
18:20wet
18:20hair, my bruised arms, the red marks Bianca had left across my cheek. He did not stare. He simply
18:25removed his coat and held it out to me. Serena Val?
18:28I took the coat because my hands were still shaking. Yes. I'm Luca Moretti. Aunt Valeria called
18:33for me. Seal the hospital floor. No one enters this room without the Donna's permission or Mrs.
18:38Vale's. Pull the island security footage. Find Vince, the resort manager, and every staff member
18:42on duty at the pool. One of the men nodded and left immediately. Luca looked at the doctor. Run a
18:47second cardiac panel. I want everything documented. Valeria watched him from the bed. Expression
18:51unreadable. You came fast. You called? Luca said simply. That was all. No performance. No drama.
18:58Just presence. Almost 20 minutes after Luca secured the floor, the door opened again. Dante strode in
19:04with a face arranged into concern, as if he had practiced it in the elevator. Mom, how are you
19:08feeling? I handled something urgent and came as fast as I could. His eyes landed on the coat around
19:13my shoulders. Then on Luca, the concern vanished. Why the hell is she wearing your coat? Because you gave
19:19yours to your island mistress. The sentence hit the room like a slap. Dante's jaw clenched. Watch
19:24your mouth. Valeria's voice cut through the tension. No, Dante. You watch yours. She looked at her son
19:30for a long, terrible second. Sit down. We need to discuss the woman who nearly killed me.
19:39Dante did not sit. He stayed near the door, hatred sharpening in his eyes as he stared at Luca,
19:44as if Luca's coat, not Bianca's cruelty, was the unforgivable betrayal. Valeria asked
19:49him again, colder this time. The woman from the pool. What do you plan to do about her? Mom,
19:56I already dealt with Bianca. She knows she was wrong. She panicked. She didn't understand who
20:00you were. I stared at him. She understood we were human. Serena, don't start. Luca spoke for the
20:05first time. She kicked away emergency heart medication. Dante's eyes snapped to him. This is
20:09my wife, my mother, and my family matter. Stay out of it. Your mother called me because you weren't
20:15here. Luca's tone did not change. Dante took one step toward him. You think showing up once makes
20:20you loyal? No. Luca said. I think leaving your mother in a hospital bed for your mistress makes
20:24you disloyal. The monitor beside Valeria beeped faster. I moved toward her, but she lifted one
20:29hand, ordering me to stop worrying. Dante's jaw tightened, but he still tried to make the excuse
20:33sound reasonable. Bianca is young. She was scared. She thought you two were harassing her.
20:38I was drowning. I know, Mom, and I'm sorry, but she didn't mean for it to go that far.
20:43Luca said. The intent does not disappear because the victim survived. I told you to shut up!
20:48Enough. Valeria's eyes sharpened. Bianca's shrill voice cut through the hallway.
20:52Do you know who I am? Dante will have you buried for touching me!
20:56Two of Valeria's personal guards dragged her into the room. Bianca saw Dante first,
21:01and her face transformed into helpless innocence. Dante, baby, tell them to stop. I only came to apologize.
21:06Dante stepped toward her automatically. Valeria watched that one movement,
21:10and something inside her visibly closed forever.
21:15Bianca slipped behind Dante as if his body were a shield built just for her.
21:19Then she looked at Valeria and gave the most insulting smile I had ever seen.
21:22I'm sorry about yesterday, ma'am. I had no idea you were Dante's mother.
21:27Valeria did not answer. Bianca's eyes flicked to me, bright with triumph.
21:30If Serena had just told me properly, none of this would have happened.
21:33I said, I did tell you. You screamed it like a crazy woman after attacking me!
21:38The footage will decide that.
21:41What footage?
21:42For the first time since I met her, fear cracked through her face.
21:46Dante noticed it, and still he chose her.
21:48Luca, back off.
21:49I opened my bag, pulled out the divorce agreement my attorney had sent over,
21:53and handed it to Dante.
21:54Sign this.
21:55Dante stared at the papers as if I had placed a weapon in his hands.
21:58Serena, don't be ridiculous.
22:01I'm done.
22:02Is this what you wanted?
22:04Waiting outside my marriage like a starving dog?
22:06His gaze darted to Luca.
22:08Luca's eyes cooled, but he did not move.
22:10Sign it because she asked you to.
22:11For once in your life, respect her choice.
22:13Dante's face twisted.
22:14He snapped, the words breaking out of him.
22:16Respect her choice?
22:18You stand here in my family's hospital, beside my wife,
22:22wearing that calm little saint act,
22:24and now you're teaching me how to respect her?
22:27His eyes cut to the coat around my shoulders again,
22:29hatred sharpening in them.
22:31You think you can replace me?
22:32You think a borrowed coat and a few orders makes you a man?
22:35I looked at him, empty of everything I used to feel.
22:38You chose her.
22:39You protected her.
22:41You left your mother to wait.
22:43My voice turned cold.
22:44Don't drag anyone else into what you destroyed.
22:48Dante flinched.
22:49Then rage rushed in to save his pride.
22:50Fine.
22:51You want a divorce?
22:52You have one.
22:52Your family will never find a better alliance than the Morettos.
22:55I took the agreement back.
22:57Congratulations to me.
22:59Bianca smiled too soon.
23:00See?
23:01Now he's free.
23:02No, child.
23:03Now he is exposed.
23:08Right on cue, Valeria's enforcers entered the room.
23:11They moved without hesitation, bypassing Dante entirely
23:14and seizing Bianca by both arms.
23:16Her smile vanished.
23:17Dante!
23:18Let her go.
23:19Dante stepped in front of them.
23:20I said let her go.
23:21I am your underboss.
23:23No one moved.
23:24We take orders from the Donna, not from you.
23:27The lead enforcer looked at him with no expression at all.
23:29Dante went still.
23:30Bianca stared between them.
23:32Dante, what is he talking about?
23:33Her panic rising.
23:35Dante grabbed his phone and tried to open the command channel
23:37used by the family's security network.
23:39Access denied.
23:40He tried his financial authorization app.
23:42Frozen.
23:43He tried the island operations line.
23:45Revoked.
23:45His face lost color with every failed attempt.
23:48Luca watched quietly.
23:49Dante rounded on him.
23:50You planned this?
23:52He tried to open the door.
23:54He tried to open the door.
23:55He tried to open the door.
