00:13while whispering my name over and over princess his movements drove into me so relentlessly
00:19that i couldn't form a complete sentence deeper
00:30the words broke apart between ragged breaths i could feel him clearly his solid presence moving
00:36within me again and again leaving me trembling with a low restrained groan he gave in to the
00:42moment pulling me closer as everything came to a head when it was over we were left clinging to
00:50each other breathing hard suspended in the fading echo of our shared climax he just doesn't know
00:56that in two weeks i'm marrying someone else the sheets are still damp with our shared heat
01:00i lie in bed catching my breath as vincent rises to dress from my side of the bed i watch

01:28marriage alliance in two weeks i'll marry the dying sterling heir in boston but i have one condition
01:33good name it we'll talk in person i hang up and my eyes fall on the phone vincent left on
01:38the nightstand
01:39the screen lights up with a new message it's followed by a kissing emoji i stare at the message
01:44my fingertips trembling vincent has never taken me to the hospital not even when i broke a rib during
01:51training
01:53i get dressed and discreetly follow his car he pulls up to a cozy italian restaurant on mott street
01:59from a distance i watch him stride toward a girl in a white dress isabella she's even thinner than
02:05she appears in photos vincent reaches out tucking a windswept strand of hair behind her ear i've never
02:11seen him look so gentle except when we're in bed three years ago my father sent me to vincent
02:22the sight of his handsome cold face made my knees weak sophia needs a proper education in how our family
02:31operates she's too wild you're the only one who can handle her i was 19 then fresh out of boarding
02:39school and brimming with rebellion i thought vincent was just another man trying to tame me so i decided
02:45i would tame him first the first time we met i wore a mini skirt to his office just to
02:50provoke him
02:51vincent sat behind his desk and didn't even bother to look up close your legs sophia why because the way
02:58you're sitting suggests the romano family lacks class i hiked my skirt even higher how about now
03:05vincent finally looked up his eyes cold behind his gold-rimmed glasses get out for months i did
03:12everything i could to get under his skin
03:16i slipped flirtatious notes into his files sabotaged missions he assigned and even put a laxative in his
03:24whiskey
03:28vincent always cleaned up my messes with infuriating calm
03:32then told me in that patronizing tone
03:37sophia you're a smart girl you need to apply that intelligence to the right things until that night
03:45i drugged his drink desperate to see what a vincent without his iron control would look like
03:53i just didn't expect to still be in the room when the drug took hold what did you put in
03:58my drink
04:00you've already guessed haven't you i met his searing gaze
04:09want to try me
04:13that night changed everything
04:17he murmured stroking my cheek vincent i
04:21princess this will be our secret princess
04:25little princess that was the word that made me fall completely
04:28he pinned me to the bed kissed my body when his thick cock pressed against my clit i could clearly
04:34feel just how massive it was a wave of fear washed over me in an instant before i could even
04:40protest
04:41he thrust all the way in with one powerful stroke i gasped sharply sucking in a cold breath
04:47please be gentle please be gentle
04:53let me have you all of you princess
04:57then he began to move slowly sliding in and out with each steady thrust pleasure gradually replaced
05:03the initial discomfort my juices started flowing freely soaking his thighs completely
05:09harder i murmured
05:17feels good doesn't it my little princess
05:20deeper please deeper
05:24vincent suddenly flipped me over gripping my hips firmly as he pounded into me from behind
05:29one hand reached around to roughly rub my swollen clit his stamina was incredible he
05:35me for hours driving me to orgasm again and again
05:41for the next two years we maintained this strange clandestine relationship
05:48by day he was the same composed rational vincent but at night
05:56he'd whisper princess in my ear and fuck me until my legs gave out i thought he loved me
06:03until my birthday i'd spent the entire day preparing put on my most beautiful dress and
06:08booked a table at the restaurant where we first met i was going to tell him i loved him that
06:13i wanted
06:13to be with him no matter the cost but vincent never showed up i sat alone in that restaurant for
06:19three
06:20hours until even the waiter started to look at me with pity
06:28the next day photos of vincent greeting another woman at the airport went viral
06:32in the pictures isabella was nestled in his arms the two of them as intimate as lovers
06:37so that's where he'd been last night he'd gone to pick her up i laughed bitterly and drank until i
06:44couldn't feel anything i wanted to confront him to demand to know what i was to him a
06:49buddy a tool but i didn't have the courage i was too lonely too addicted to the warmth he offered
06:58that night vincent came home to find a wreck i'd used a wine bottle to smash every single picture of
07:05isabella in his study
07:11he didn't even flinch
07:12he just instructed the maid to clean up the mess and take care of me then walked right past me
07:18in that
07:19moment i finally understood vincent was the family heir untouchable cold and proud
07:27his tolerance wasn't a sign of affection
07:31he simply couldn't be bothered to argue with me
07:35after that he still called me princess in bed as if nothing had changed but my heart was already dead
07:44outside the restaurant vincent opened the car door for isabella they were laughing about something
07:52i looked away and drove back to the romano family estate
08:06what did you say i said i'll marry the sterling family's dying heir in exchange we sever all ties
08:15from this moment on i am no longer a romano you can welcome your mistress and your bastard daughter
08:22into this home with open arms the day you staged the car crash that killed my mother
08:29i stopped wanting you as a father anyway i told you that crash was an accident
08:35don romano shot to his feet accident or not she died on her way to find you cheating with maria
08:43dad let's stop pretending we're a happy family you've been trying to sell me to the sterlings for five
08:49months isn't it just so your precious mistress can finally marry into the family so your bastard
08:55daughter can finally take the romano name sophia you want to be disloaned fine as of tomorrow you are
09:03no longer my daughter get out deal oh and don't forget to inform the sterling family their bride is no
09:15longer the eldest daughter of the romano family but a parentless orphan ask them if they're still
09:20willing to pay the same price back in my room i shut the door and the mask i wore finally
09:30crumbled
09:32tears streamed down my face
09:36i curled up on the bed a wounded animal looking at swoons do you know vincent to finally leave you
09:43i had to give up the only thing i had left the next morning i heard the sounds of furniture
09:49being
09:49moved downstairs i rose and walked the landing of the staircase a familiar figure stood at the bottom
09:58isabella my blood ran cold she was that new daughter my stepmother's daughter
10:08isabella stood at the bottom of the stairs in a simple white dress the picture of fragile innocence
10:13she spotted me smiling like an angel you must be sophia i'm isabella it's a pleasure to finally meet you
10:21i didn't answer just stared down at her don romano emerged from the living room seeing isabella a rare
10:29look of paternal affection crossed his features isabella you must be tired from your journey have
10:35sophia show you to your room thank you uncle romano take sophia's room it gets the best light
10:41perfect for your recovery my room from now on it's isabella's room you can move to the third
10:47floor there's an empty guest room up there no thanks i went back upstairs and began to pack
10:59where do you think you're going i'm leaving since i'm no longer a romano there's no reason for me to
11:06stay here sophia your wedding is in two weeks don't be ridiculous i know i'll be at the wedding to
11:15fulfill
11:15our agreement the door slammed shut behind me i drove away from the romano estate without a second
11:23glance i thought about calling a friend but then i realized i didn't have any the people who flocked
11:30around me were only there for the romano family's power and influence now that i'd been cast out
11:35who would bother with me as dusk fell i dragged my suitcase aimlessly through the streets
11:41finally i found an empty bench in central park and sat down the night grew deep the park was quiet
11:48save for the distant hum of traffic i hugged my knees counting down the days until the wedding
11:54i couldn't keep living on the streets as i worried a few drunk men staggered toward me
12:02hey beautiful all alone stay away from me come on have a drink with us i stepped back but the
12:12bench
12:12blocked my escape just then a low menacing voice cut through the air she's with me i turned vincent was
12:21stepping out of the shadows his face a thunderous mask of fury the drunks took one look at his imposing
12:28presence and scrambled away vincent strode toward me his gaze taking in my suitcases then the bench
12:34homeless and you still won't come to me vincent drove me back to his mansion in manhattan
12:42i knew this house all too well every corner held a memory of our bodies tangled together
12:50vincent reached for my suitcase about to take it to my usual bedroom
12:55don't i said heading straight for a guest room i'm only staying for 12 days this is fine you can
13:01stay as long as you want i put my suitcase in the guest room and closed the door i sat
13:07on the edge of
13:07the bed staring at my phone 12 more days and i would leave new york forever
13:15the next morning i went downstairs vincent was already in the dining room he saw me and gestured to the
13:22seat
13:22across from him i sat a maid brought me milk and toast vincent he looked up his gaze calm behind
13:31his
13:31glasses i found out yesterday what is isabella to you a high school classmate she took a bullet for
13:39me once saved my life she's been recovering in europe ever since really just a classmate a savior is it
13:46that simple sofia i don't want you targeting her just because she has returned to the romano family
13:53is that a warning it's a reminder isabella's health is fragile she can't handle any trouble
14:01i nodded saying nothing more vincent was more direct in his defense of isabella than i had ever imagined
14:07i understand i understand i'm going upstairs what else was there to ask
14:14i stayed in the guest room all day the maid brought lunch and dinner to my door
14:19i didn't go down that night i lay in bed unable to sleep usually vincent would open the door around
14:28this time push me down without a word and grip my waist while calling me princess but tonight nothing
14:37his first love was back of course he won't want me anymore
14:45on saturday he forced me to go to a party it didn't look like any mafia gathering i'd ever been
14:50to
14:50before i could ask i heard a familiar voice vincent you're finally here isabella in a white evening gown
14:58fluttered over like a butterfly she saw me and her expression faltered for a fraction of a second
15:03before she plastered on a sweet smile sophia's here too that's wonderful i glanced around and
15:09saw a large banner that read welcome home isabella it was a welcome party for her vincent had brought
15:15me to isabella's welcome home party i turned to leave but isabella stopped me sophia what's wrong
15:21are you not feeling well i heard you moved out of your house is it because of me i'm so
15:28sorry i had no
15:29idea uncle ramona would let me stay in your room her voice was soft and gentle but loud enough for
15:34everyone around us to hear a few guests looked my way with questioning eyes it's fine it's just a room
15:42but uncle romano said you even need your disowned him it's all my fault if i hadn't come back
15:48isabella the reason i disowned him has nothing to do with an outsider like you isabella's tears
15:55began to fall she looked pitifully at vincent vincent walked over shot me a warning look
16:01don't cry your eyes will get swollen he took out a handkerchief and dabbed at her tears isabella's
16:08tears turned to a smile you're so good to me vincent i watched them all night he pulled out her
16:15chair
16:16he brought her drinks he fixed her dress a sharp pain pierced my heart in 10 days i thought vincent
16:24was just a cold man who didn't know how to be romantic i was wrong he's not cold he just
16:31wasn't
16:31willing to do those things for me i turned and walked to the bar grabbed a glass of champagne and
16:37downed most of it in one go after the party i stood alone outside the club waiting for a car
16:48isabella came out with vincent carefully helping her walk sophia i'm so sorry about what happened
16:54earlier i twisted my ankle so suddenly vincent couldn't get to you it looks like you handled
17:01it well she glanced at my injured hand a flash of triumph in her eyes i did i've always been
17:08good
17:08at handling my own problems that's good to be honest i was a little worried when vincent brought you
17:13tonight after all you two used to used to what you don't actually think vincent has special feelings
17:21for you do you sophia dear vincent just pities you you're homeless now so he took you in out of
17:28charity that's all isabella's eyes were sharp and malicious is that so of course vincent only has
17:37room in his heart for me it's been that way since high school that will never change just then a
17:44black
17:44sedan lost control and sped straight toward us in a split second vincent lunged forward and threw his
17:50arms around isabella shielding her with his body and me i was struck hard by the out of control car
17:56and thrown violently to the ground
18:01as the car hit me my consciousness began to fade pain shot through my entire body but what hurt more
18:08was the absolute crushing despair of being abandoned flashes of memory flooded my mind
18:16i remember the first time he pinned me down calling me princess
18:21i remember the knights in his arms listening to the steady beat of his heart thinking i had finally
18:28found my home but the last thing i saw was the truth vincent diving for her leaving me to face
18:35the
18:35crash alone the final image was frozen in my mind vincent without a moment's hesitation diving to protect
18:43isabella and me like some disposable bystander left to face the danger all alone when i finally opened
18:52my eyes i was in a hospital bed it was quiet but i could hear them talking just outside my
18:59curtain
19:00vincent's voice was so gentle it sounded like a stranger's voice are you okay isabella softly said yes
19:09she asked him vincent if it happened again you'd still save me first
19:18right vincent didn't even hesitate of course sophia has no reason to be angry in an emergency
19:25i'm obviously are gonna save the more fragile person she understands that
19:30after vincent left the room was quiet but not for long the door creaked open and there she was
19:39isabella sat by my bed with a poisonous smile she told me a story about high school about how she
19:46was vincent's first love she told me she took a bullet for him during an ambush and ever since
19:53vincent has been consumed with guilt he promised to spend the rest of his life making it up to her
20:00then she leaned in her voice turning venomous she told me that while she was away she lied to vincent
20:07she told him i was mistreating her mother vincent didn't discipline you because he was forced to
20:13he asked for the job he wanted to break me to get revenge for her i felt my blood turned
20:19to ice
20:20but it got worse isabella pulled out her phone and asked did you know that every single time you two
20:27were together it was being recorded vincent installed hidden cameras in the bedroom he filmed our most
20:34private moment sentence just to give her leverage to control me vincent never loved you he was just
20:42completing a mission and now he's going to marry me i couldn't stay in that hospital bed for another
20:49second
20:52i jumped into a cab and headed straight to vincent mansion i had to know i had to see if
20:59the man i
20:59loved was actually the monster isabella described i ran into a study and punched the code into the
21:06hidden wall it slid open to reveal a room full of monitors and computers my hand shook as i found
21:12the
21:13folder labeled sofia i clicked it there they were hundreds of videos every night we spent together
21:19every i love you i whispered in his arms he had recorded it all in high definition
21:26i crumpled to the floor it was all true i called my father my voice breaking i asked him 10
21:33years ago
21:34did vincent offer to discipline me my father didn't even hesitate he told me vincent gave him a 200 million
21:41dollar project just for the chance to take me under his wing vincent didn't love me he bought me he
21:48slept
21:48with me and controlled me just to get revenge i started to laugh it was a hysterical broken sound
21:59i went to the bedroom and grabbed my suitcase along with my flight ticket to a city where he will
22:05never
22:05find me on my way out i picked up a solid gold lighter the first gift vincent ever gave me
22:12i used
22:13to think it was a symbol of love but now i realize it was just a mark on his prey
22:17i flicked the lighter
22:18open and tossed it onto the heavy silk curtains i watched the flames grow devouring the memories
22:25the lies and the girl who once loved him so deeply the sky was a hellish red as fire trucks
22:33surrounded
22:33the mansion i watched it burn a message popped up when i turned on my phone it was vincent i
22:39heard you
22:39burned the house do you feel better now my princess i didn't reply i was about to catch my flight
22:45i received
22:46another message from him stay home and wait for me i have something to tell you i turned off my
22:51phone
22:52whispered to the empty air we'll never see each other again i threw my phone out the window and
22:57watched it shatter now he has no way to find me at the airport i sat by the window outside
23:02i saw his
23:03private jet on the tarmac i accidentally saw his silhouette walking up the stairs heading to another
23:08city for his meeting my flight was called i realized then there were two planes on that runway
23:15pointed in completely opposite directions vincent walked out of the mafia meeting and loosened his tie
23:23after three days of high stakes negotiations he'd finally taken several more ports
23:29the corsini territory had finally fallen he was at the top of his game he turned on his phone for
23:35the
23:35first time in 72 hours and the screen lit up with 99 missed messages from isabella but his eyes went
23:43straight to the only one that mattered a single message from sophia he tapped it expecting her
23:49usual sass instead his blood went cold it was a bank notification transfer received eight hundred
23:57thirteen thousand dollars the memo simply read settlement for medical and living expenses
24:04no i miss you nowhere have you been just a final bill paid in full that was the total amount
24:10of
24:10vincent's money i had spent over the last three years i transferred it to him back vincent almost
24:15laughed from frustration he typed back you think i need your money
24:31he waited for the reply he knew would come in seconds but the chat window stayed silent
24:3810 minutes passed nothing he called her only to hear a cold robotic voice say
24:47the number you have dialed is not
24:48for a second vincent froze he thought of sophia how she looked when she snuggled into his arms at night
24:58her long lashes against her skin he looked at her profile picture a proud cat that looked exactly like
25:04her he smiled thinking she was just playing hard to get he sent one last message be at the airport
25:09to
25:10pick me up he stared at his phone waiting for her to say no or fine but the message stayed
25:16on red
25:17for the first time in his life the ruthless crime boss felt a chill run down his spine he was
25:23used to
25:23her defiance but he wasn't prepared for her silence on the drive back vincent sat in the back seat holding
25:30a velvet jewelry box inside was the pearl necklace sophia had begged for the one he had refused to help
25:38her buy at the auction his driver marshall finally spoke up boss i think she still heard about the auction
25:47but if she knew you went through all this trouble to find the real necklace for her she'd be so
25:51moved
25:51vincent looked at the box he pictured sophia's defiant beautiful face
26:00would she marshall kept going talking about how sophia was actually kind and sweet even when she
26:05tried to act tough but then the temperature in the car dropped vincent's face turned terrifyingly dark
26:11he looked at marshall in the mirror and asked do you like her marshall's hand shook so hard the car
26:16almost swerved off the road vincent demanded tell me the truth marshall took a deep breath and admitted
26:23it who wouldn't be drawn to someone like her but i know she only has eyes for you boss i've
26:29only ever
26:30admired her her from afar vincent calmed down slightly but then marshall found a sudden burst of courage
26:35he looked at the most powerful boss in the territory and said but boss i hope you treat her better
26:41you can't protect isabella one moment then try to be sweet to sophia the next she deserves a love that
26:47is all or nothing vincent narrowed his eyes his voice dangerous what are you implying exactly what it
26:54sounds like boss i've always wanted to ask who do you really love is it isabella or is it sophia
27:05sophia of course the moment the words left vincent's mouth marco slammed on the brakes the tires screeched
27:14against the pavement sorry boss marco apologized hastily his back slick with a cold sweat to his
27:21surprise vincent wasn't angry he just lifted his cold gaze studying his assistant in the rearview mirror
27:31does my answer shock you that much marco's hands trembled on the wheel shocked was an
27:37understatement it turned everything he thought he knew on its head he didn't dare say it aloud
27:44opting for a more tactful response
27:50but i've seen you treat miss isabella so well even better than you treat miss sophia
27:57vincent pressed his long fingers to his temples and leaned back into the leather seat that's because
28:03she took a bullet for me he closed his eyes memories flooding back in high school he was known at
28:12st
28:12louis preparatory academy as the ice prince as the marcelli heir daughters from every major family
28:20vied for his attention daily the most extreme incident involved the torino family's daughter
28:25arranging roses in a heart shape at the school gate to declare her feelings every girl wanted him
28:32to make them stop he needed a fake girlfriend he conceded it was a practical solution but who his
28:39gaze swept across the courtyard and landed on isabella reading in the library from then on he started
28:45singling her out he let her rest her head on his shoulder in class had her accompany him everywhere
28:51and tacitly allowed the high society rumors about them to circulate the effect was immediate the other
28:58families backed off on graduation day isabella asked him to meet on the school roof as they were leaving
29:04an assassin from a rival family appeared a dark gun barrel aimed right at him in that critical moment
29:11isabella shoved him out of the way the gunshot echoed he saw isabella fall like a broken kite
29:19blood gushing from her chest in the hospital the pale-faced girl whispered weakly vincent
29:26i don't regret it the doctor said the bullet had grazed her heart she'd nearly died out of guilt
29:33he had granted nearly every request she'd made over the years the only thing he was grateful for was
29:38isabella's comment i want that little romano princess to never dare bully my mother again
29:44which led him to propose disciplining sophia to don romano himself at the thought a smile
29:51involuntarily touched vincent's lips vincent remembered the first time he saw sophia like it was yesterday
29:57she burst into his study like a flash of red leaning against the door with a smirk a princess shouldn't
30:03have
30:04to wait in that moment she was like a flame burning through his cold black and white world
30:09his heart skipped a beat even if he didn't show it for years she was a wild cat she put
30:15laxatives in
30:16his whiskey and turned his million dollar contracts into paper airplanes he loved every minute of the
30:24chase he remembered the night he finally pinned her to his desk that night sophia was furious struggling
30:30beneath him her mini skirt pushed up to her waist panties already torn and dangling from one ankle
30:36you bastard let me go but vincent only smirked coldly one hand pinning both her wrists above her head
30:45while the other roughly spread her legs my princess sophia screamed her body clenching violently
30:52around him as he took her hard and deep the heavy desk creaking under their violent rhythm he took her
30:58again
30:59and again until her angry curses turned into broken moans and her legs wrapped around his waist
31:05involuntarily she was furious calling him a bastard but he just whispered my princess he took her again
31:12and again but he never said the word love vincent realized he had kept his feelings buried because he was
31:20afraid he was afraid if he confessed his love she would take it for granted or worse get bored and
31:26run away
31:27but sitting on his private jet he couldn't stop thinking about her he remembered how she secretly left
31:34warm water by his bed when he was sick even when she was mad at him his throat tightened for
31:42the first
31:42time he was desperate to get home the plane landed in the middle vincent walked down the steps his eyes
31:50searching for that familiar sight every time he returned sophia was there in a bright dress waving at
31:57him before flying into his arms like a happy bird he could almost feel her hug already he was ready
32:05to
32:05pull her into the car and never let her go vincent a smile started to spread across his face but
32:12as he
32:12turned his smile froze it was isabella she looked fragile and sweet but vincent's body went stiff
32:22he pushed her away gently and asked what are you doing here isabella pouted telling him she had come
32:29especially to pick him up aren't you happy to see me vincent gave a polite answer but he didn't even
32:35take
32:35her hand his mind was miles away he was thinking about sophia she hadn't shown up he figured she was
32:42still sulking about him he started making a mental list of gifts to fix things isabella begged him to
32:48follow her to a special place wanting to get it over with he agreed but when the ballroom doors opened
32:56at a luxury hotel vincent froze the room was a sea of white roses champagne towers and heart-shaped
33:02balloons it was a perfect setting for a romantic proposal the elite guests turned to him with
33:07knowing smiles vincent realized it instantly this was a trap just as he turned to find an exit the large
33:13screen suddenly lit up it showed vincent in high school letting isabella rest her head on his
33:18shoulder then a photo of him holding an umbrella over her in the rain to the crowd it looked like
33:23a perfect lifelong romance but vincent stood in the back his face a mask of stone isabella walked onto
33:30the stage blushing she told the room how vincent had watched her in the library how he only ever took
33:35drinks from her hand and how everyone called them a perfect match i've always been in love with you
33:41the crowd gasped they were sure he was about to propose isabella pulled out a jewelry box she was certain
33:47he felt the same way because he had granted her every wish for years but vincent's eyes grew ice
33:52cold before she could ask the question vincent strode onto the stage the room went dead silent he
33:58looked her right in the eyes and said isabella i can grant you anything you want but not this i
34:08am not in
34:09love with you isabella's voice shot up the color draining from her face what are you saying you
34:23don't love me how is that possible you clearly remember everything i apologize for the misunderstanding
34:31back then my associates daughters were a nuisance i needed a shield a shield he paused then continued
34:38as compensation i deposited half a million dollars into your account every year i thought we had an
34:44understanding that it was a transaction that was my debt to you his gaze rested calmly on her pale face
34:51but that's all there is to it the room erupted the envious glances instantly turned to mockery and
34:57contempt whispers rushed toward isabella like a tidal wave i knew it a man of vincent status would never
35:04fall for someone from the torino family she acted like it was real but it was all in her head
35:09i heard
35:09her mother used her looks to marry into the romano family like mother like daughter i suppose always
35:15trying to climb the social ladder every word was a knife in isabella's heart her reputation was everything
35:21she had planned this for three months inviting all of new york's high society determined to become mrs
35:28marcelli in the most glamorous way but now she trembled her nails digging deep into her palms if vincent
35:36didn't love her then who did he love a terrible thought surfaced could it be sophia the next second
35:43vincent was turning to leave she clung to his sleeve with the last shred of her dignity vincent
35:52vincent in all these years did you really never feel anything for me
36:00no never those two words stabbed isabella through the heart her legs gave out and she collapsed onto
36:06the stage her perfectly coiffed hair came undone her makeup streaked with tears amid the pointing and
36:12whispering vincent walked out of the ballroom without a single look back striding toward the black car waiting
36:18outside marco was already there with the gifts he'd been asked to prepare boss it's all ready the
36:24sapphire necklace and miss sophia's favorite italian chocolates
36:36vincent took out his phone and texted sophia come to the long island villa i have something for you
36:42no reply he called her still off frowning slightly he sent another text still mad the messages went out
36:50one after another meeting only silence vincent rubbed his temples and sent one more you burned down the
36:57mansion if you're still not satisfied do you want to burn another one after a long wait the phone
37:03remained quiet still no response his patience finally snapped vincent dialed don romano's number directly
37:11vincent didn't you know sophia i already married her off to sterling family the phone slipped from
37:18vincent's hand the convoy sped to the romano estate vincent kicked the front door open and stormed
37:26inside don romano was sitting on a leather sofa sipping whiskey he was so shocked he almost dropped his
37:32glass vincent what are you doing here you married sophia off to sterling family in boston vincent bit out each
37:39word word i did you were always complaining about how much trouble she was right
37:47and the sterling family's sickly heir was offering 500 million for an alliance so i married her off
37:57now you and isabella can finally be together without anyone bothering you
38:04who told you i love isabella vincent slammed his fist on the marble coffee table and the entire slab
38:12cracked into men tear this place apart two dozen men in black suits swarmed in and in an instant
38:18porcelain furniture and paintings were reduced to badness don romano's face went pale vincent what are you
38:27doing as of today the romano family is finished no vincent you can't do this don romano scrambled
38:35forward pleading think of the history between our families just then isabella rushed in vincent
38:47vincent why are you doing this to my father realization dawned on her and she screamed
38:52hysterically you fell in love with sophia didn't you i did so what isabella looked as if she'd been
38:59struck by lightning then burst into manic laughter but she's never coming back you love her but you
39:10never said it so everyone thought you loved me isabella's smile was twisted i paid your maids to fill your
39:18study with my pictures do you think sophia never saw them why do you think she burned down the mansion
39:24because i told her you recorded your private moments together to use as blackmail she wasn't forced to
39:31marry him she gave up on you completely she chose to marry someone else she'll never come back every word
39:39was a dagger twisting in vincent's heart he thought about sophia's recent behavior the lack of tantrums
39:45the silence the way she walked away from the fire without a second glance so she had seen the photos
39:51she had heard the rumors she had lost all hope in him as for the recordings he had made them
39:57but only
39:57to watch them himself he remembered how she looked in the throes of passion the stubborn way she bit her
40:03lip to keep from crying out the flush that crept up her neck when she came he couldn't bring himself
40:08to delete those memories but now they had all become weapons used against her isabella you will
40:16pay for this he turned his voice as cold as the grave get the jet ready we're going to boston
40:22now
40:26sophia sat in her room staring blankly at the mountains of luxury goods from the day she arrived
40:32at the sterling estate a non-stop stream of items had been brought to her sophia finally held up a
40:37hand
40:37look at this room is there any space left the maids exchanged glances one of them immediately
40:44pressed her earpiece and whispered young master miss sophia says the room is too small i'll sophia
40:50deadpanned that's not what i meant the young master's orders were to spend without limit sophia pressed
40:56her hand to her forehead does your young master usually throw money away like this the maid said
41:02seriously the young master is very wealthy for the sterling family this is just pocket change
41:08sophia took a deep breath and finally asked the question that had been on her mind for days i've
41:14been here for almost a week may i meet your young master the maid hesitated the young master said
41:19he's not mentally prepared yet sophia laughed in disbelief he married me and he's not prepared
41:26fine then i'm leaving the moment the words left her mouth all the maids suddenly stood at attention
41:32bowing respectfully young master sophia froze and turned toward the door footsteps approached and a
41:39tall slender figure appeared sophia was stunned this was alexander sterling the supposedly dying heir he
41:50looked healthy enough to take on a dozen assassins single-handedly mr sterling care to explain i'm sorry
41:55the truth is i'm not sick i was just too scared to meet you i've been waiting for you since
42:00i was
42:00a child i've loved you for so long you said you've been in love with me for a long time
42:05ten years ago
42:06at the yacht party in the hamptons have we met have you forgotten who you saved sophia froze
42:15her memory pulled back a decade at that party she had been on the deck when she heard a splash
42:20a young boy had fallen overboard before anyone else could react she had dived in after him after
42:27swallowing several mouthfuls of seawater she finally dragged him back to the deck
42:34she'd asked soaked to the bone but ignoring herself as she knelt to perform first aid
42:43the little boy coughed up water and opened his eyes his lashes beaded with moisture
42:55she had taken off her jacket and wrapped it around his shivering body
43:01are you okay the boy had clutched her jacket his eyes shining like stars
43:06sofia snapped back to the present staring at alexander in disbelief that little kid who fell
43:12in the water that was you yes the tips of alexander's ears flushed i've been looking for
43:19you for 10 years sofia suddenly laughed but you were only 12 then and i was 16 i'm four years
43:24older
43:25than you because you were like an angel you saved me and you were so gentle his eyes were so
43:31clear
43:31without a trace of pretense princess i truly love you i didn't mean to deceive you if you want to
43:39leave the 500 be still yours and i'll let you go but if you're willing to give me a chance
43:46let me give you a home i'll spend my entire life treating you right the word home struck a deep
43:53chord in sofia's heart maybe she could try at least here someone loved her with all their heart in the
43:59days that followed alexander treated sofia like the center of the universe she casually mentioned
44:04a craving for italian food and half an hour later a three-star michelin chef and his entire team were
44:10at their door she frowned in her sleep and alexander had all the carpets in the villa replaced with a
44:16softer material most importantly the entire sterling family adored her she hadn't felt this cherished
44:22in years her new life felt like a dream until a maid reported breathlessly madam mr vinson is here
44:30he's asking to see you the magazine in sophia's hand fell to the floor
44:39she looked up and met alexander's tense gaze he put down the strawberry he was holding his voice tight
44:45princess do you want to see him sophia looked at his tense profile and suddenly smiled no she reached out
44:52and poked his cheek keep feeding me strawberries alexander's eyes lit up and he immediately turned
44:58back into her loyal puppy carefully feeding her strawberries one by one on sophia's birthday alexander
45:05threw a lavish party when alexander took her hand led her onto the stage and announced he was
45:11transferring 50 of his company shares to her the entire room is he crazy that's billions sophia tugged
45:21on his sleeve what are you doing alexander looked down at her his eyes shining if i wasn't afraid of
45:28burdening you i would have given you 100 percent someone in the crowd started chanting
45:36the tips of alexander's ears turned bright red as he looked at sophia tentatively just as
45:41he leaned in to kiss her the ballroom doors were kicked open everyone froze vincent stood in the
45:47doorway impeccably dressed but his eyes were terrifyingly dark his gaze was fixed on sophia and
45:54alexander's intertwined hands as if he wanted to burn a hole right through them almost instantly
46:01alexander pulled sophia into his arms shielding her with his body but sophia was surprisingly calm
46:07she looked at vincent and smiled mr marcelli what brings you here a wedding gift her words were a knife
46:15stabbing deep into vincent's chest his jaw tightened veins standing out on his neck his voice was raw
46:22sofia come back with me sophia's smile widened go back to what to watch you take care of isabella
46:30i don't love isabella i love you the guests gasped and the whispers he really is here to crash the
46:36wedding his voice was low let's talk somewhere else alexander sneered mr marcelli you're not welcome
46:46here but sophia gently placed a hand on his it's okay i'll make things clear
46:52inside the black car sophia sat in the passenger seat calmly looking out the window vincent was in
46:57the driver's seat his tie crooked his eyes bloodshot he had never looked so disheveled
47:03the recordings i made them but not to blackmail you i just wanted to keep them for myself
47:09he explained everything one detail at a time when he finished sophia just asked quietly
47:18and vincent froze and come back with me
47:26sophia it's always been you i love you vincent you knew my situation but you still chose to side with
47:34isabella again and again even if you don't love her the pain you caused me was real and during that
47:42time my feelings for you slowly died i can't get them back vincent's fingers tightened on the steering
47:49wheel his knuckles turning white his voice shook sophia i'm not a god i made a mistake can't you
47:57allow me one mistake is the price for one mistake losing you forever sophia looked at him
48:02her gaze so calm it was brutal yes i don't hate you but i won't love you again either she
48:09took a gold
48:10leafed invitation from her purse and handed it to him my wedding to alexander is in three days with that
48:16she opened the car door and walked toward alexander who was waiting by the road never once looking
48:22back vincent sat in the car watching her leave and suddenly remembered the first time he saw her
48:28she was in a red dress proud and radiant a fire that had burned its way into his black and
48:35white world
48:36and now that fire was gone the day before the wedding sophia sat at the vanity in the bridal suite
48:45her fingertips tracing the diamonds on her wedding dress the sun was shining and staff bustled
48:50outside preparing for the ceremony everything seemed perfect a soft knot came at the door princess
48:56alexander entered bring a cup of warm herbal tea and a small elegant velvet box he was dressed in
49:03a well-fitted black suit his eyes impossibly gentle he said placing the cup beside her barely touched
49:09your breakfast sophia looked up a small smile on her lips thanks sophia opened the box inside were
49:18exquisite pieces of italian chocolate alexander said softly i heard you used to love the chocolates
49:23from this shop alexander said softly i had them flown in from milan sophia paused surprised she was about
49:30to speak when the estate's security alarm began to shriek alexander frowned a frantic voice came through
49:36what's going on mr alexander the system is breached all surveillance and access control
49:41alexander's face changed princess stay here don't move he hurried out giving sharp orders in the hallway
49:48before she could react the sweet door was pushed open soundlessly a tall figure stood in the doorway
49:54vincent sophia shot to her feet knocking over a bottle of perfume outside a helicopter hovered
50:02its rotor blades deafening sophia's eyes widened in horror vincent this is kidnapping so what if it is
50:10you're mine he sneered leaping onto the balcony with her i should have done this the first day i saw
50:17you
50:18the wind howled whipping her wedding dress around her she looked back at the estate and saw alexander's
50:24distant figure being held back by several men in black he seemed to be shouting her name but the wind
50:29stole the sound the helicopter landed on a private island at dawn vincent carried sophia off the
50:34aircraft the moment her feet touched the ground she shoved him away she sneered illegal confinement
50:40whipping in the sea breeze when did vincent marcelli stoop to such low-life tactics so what if i did
50:47vincent gave her a tour he said opening the french doors everything here is yours the gardens the pool the
50:56library even that ocean i want to go back sophia let's start over as if none of it ever happened
51:05vincent when did you learn to lie to yourself sophia i will make you become the person you used to
51:12be
51:12she woke from a nightmare to find a small lamp on her nightstand it's light soft as the moon vincent
51:18sat by her bed watching her his eyes bloodshot this was a vincent she had never seen before tender
51:25obsessive and unconditionally indulgent for a moment she was dazed if only he had been like this before
51:31but there was no going back he cupped the back of her neck pulling her closer don't don't touch me
51:39vincent froze his eyes filled with a storm of pain sophia what do you want me to do sophia looked
51:45at him and
51:46suddenly smiled let me go a maid entered madam please drink some milk when is he coming back mr vincent
51:56had to return to new york to handle the marcelli family business he would be back as soon as possible
52:02the glass hit the wall shattering sophia sneered i am not your madam get out the terrified maid scrambled out
52:10sophia bent down and picked up the sharpest shard of glass
52:16vincent handed his suit jacket to the maid where is she in the master bedroom vincent pushed open the
52:23bedroom door his face filled with terror sophia was sitting on the edge of the bed a startling gash
52:29marked her wrist blood dripping from her fingertips onto the carpet staining it crimson vincent's pupils
52:35contracted he rushed forward and seized her wrist if you dare to die i will make the entire sterling
52:40family die with you sophia looked up a mocking smile on her pale face what will it take for you
52:48to
52:48finally let me go say you love me in your dreams vincent stared at her then suddenly smiled a look
53:01that
53:01sent a chill down her spine he let her go and turned to marco contact the global media now marco
53:09froze
53:09boss you mean a live stream
53:17of my wedding to sophia
53:21cameras were aimed at the bedroom's french doors vincent had changed into a black suit sophia was
53:28forced into a wedding dress a silk ribbon hiding the wound on her wrist vincent gripped sophia's waist
53:34and leaned in to kiss her sophia struggled biting his lip hard enough to draw blood blood trickled from
53:40his mouth dripping onto her white dress the live stream cut out abruptly but it was too late the world
53:46was in an uproar sophia shoved him away his blood staining her lips vincent are you insane vincent wiped the
53:53blood from his mouth and laughed softly
53:59now the whole world knows you're mine sophia looked at him and felt like she was looking at a stranger
54:05on the 27th day of her captivity sophia learned to be obedient
54:11he asked one morning tying his tie by the bed
54:15what do you want to eat today her voice was calm whatever you make vincent's fingers paused
54:20a flash of surprise crossed his eyes followed by a smile all right he turned and went to the
54:27kitchen the moment he was gone sophia threw back the covers and pulled a microcomputer from under the
54:33mattress stolen from his study last week she had breached the island's security system
54:40an encrypted distress signal was sent three nights later sophia stood on the edge of a cliff hurried
54:46footsteps came from behind alexander had arrived princess he yelled rushing toward come with me
54:52sophia glanced back at the guards chasing them and suddenly smiled alexander are you afraid of heights
55:00before he could react sophia grabbed his hand and jumped off the cliff
55:06soaked to the bone sophia and alexander struggled onto a small hidden shore let's go alexander pulled her
55:13toward a waiting speed boat just then a blinding spotlight hit them vincent stood on the shore
55:19flanked by dozens of guards his voice was ice
55:26done running sophia shielded alexander with her body let him go vincent stared at her i can
55:32then smiled faintly but you have to stay before sophia could answer a loud
55:38warmly came from the cliff above a giant boulder had come loose tumbling straight toward them
55:45watch out vincent lunged shoving both of them out of the way the boulder crashed down on his legs
55:50blood instantly stained the seawater red the impact threw sophia to the ground and her head hit a rock
55:58her vision blackened but she forced her eyes open she saw vincent lying in a pool of blood
56:04his face ashen his gaze locked on her sophia are you okay vincers let me go sophia's mouth opened
56:14but her vision went dark when vincent woke up the first thing he felt was a deep numbness in his
56:22legs
56:22the doctor stood by his bed his voice low mr marcelli your spinal nerves are damaged
56:28your lower body's motor functions might be he didn't finish but the meaning was clear
56:34marco's eyes were red i'll go tell miss sophia if she knows you did this to save her shut up
56:41vincent
56:42cut him off coldly no one says a word he turned to look out the window the sunlight stinging his
56:48eyes
56:48he remembered the last thing he saw sophia lying on the ground pale
56:53vincent let me go forcing out the words in that moment he finally understood a pain worse than death
57:01some mistakes once made truly meant losing the one you love forever one month later vincent sat in his
57:09wheelchair watching the new sterling group ceo alexander sterling and italian social
57:14married today in a grand ceremony on the screen sophia was in a wedding dress her smile brilliant she used
57:21to smile at him like that before he had sided with isabella time and time again the courier rang the
57:28doorbell while vincent was sitting in the ruins of the burned down mansion sir a package for you vincent
57:35took it it was a small box inside was a men's wedding band exquisitely crafted the inside was engraved
57:43to vincent with all my love s there was also a card vincent's hand trembled
57:51the ring fell to the ground with a soft clink so she had wanted to marry him a tearing pain
58:00ripped
58:00through his chest he doubled over gasping for breath a neighbor walked by and asked curiously sir
58:10this house is a ruin are you waiting for someone vincent looked up yes i'm waiting the setting sun
58:17illuminating his pale face but he knew she was never coming back the sun set leaving him alone in the
58:26ruins he lit a cigarette and looked toward the horizon as if he could still hear that proud
58:32voice calling his name vincent marcello
