Goodbye to my don

Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Leo Moretti was Stonehouse's youngest financial titan, a tech mogul commanding a multi-billion dollar empire and gracing magazine covers
00:00:08as a modern legend.
00:00:09But only a select few knew the truth.
00:00:12He was also the ruthless Don controlling the East Coast Mafia, and I was just another pawn used to stabilize
00:00:18a fragile family alliance.
00:00:20In our ten-year marriage, he slept with my friends, my co-works, every single person I once trusted.
00:00:31Then one morning, as I took our one-mold baby for a routine check-up, Sienna Newton, his latest mistress,
00:00:38ran me down with her car.
00:00:39The baby screamed endlessly in my arms.
00:00:43Please, take us to the hospital. He can't breathe. Please.
00:00:48Stop acting. You just want Venezzo to pity you.
00:00:53When Vincenzo arrived, he looked at me with cold disdain.
00:00:58Isabella, when did you learn to stage accidents?
00:01:01I clutched the baby tighter, blood running down my leg.
00:01:05He's your son. He needs a doctor.
00:01:08Even if you died here, I wouldn't bat an eye.
00:01:11Then he took Sienna's hand and walked away without a backward glance.
00:01:21By the time I was rushed to the hospital, the child in my harps had suffocated.
00:01:29Upon hearing the news, my mother suffered a heart attack.
00:01:33She didn't survive.
00:01:34I slipped into a coma for two days.
00:01:36When I finally woke up, Vincenzo had never visited.
00:01:41Instead, Renati Moretti, the true king of the Moretti Empire, stood by my bedside.
00:01:46Isabella.
00:01:49Let me go.
00:01:51Whatever I owed your family, I've repaid in full with two lives.
00:01:56My phone would not stop rubbering.
00:01:58One photo after another of Vincenzo Morelli and his new lover, Sienna Newton, flooded in.
00:02:03A five-star hotel, a champagne-filled bathtub, her seductive red lips.
00:02:08They kissed like no one else existed.
00:02:11And me?
00:02:11I, Isabella Bradfin, an executive at Stonehaven Health Tech, once the most independent and
00:02:18clear-headed kind of woman, lay in a hospital bed, hooked to an IV, drugged, stitched up,
00:02:24and hanging by a thread.
00:02:25Renato still did not know the full truth.
00:02:28Isabella.
00:02:29Vincenzo.
00:02:30He's a good kid at heart.
00:02:31You've been together so many years.
00:02:33Why not give him another chance?
00:02:35As long as I'm here, no one can take your place in this family.
00:02:38I didn't answer.
00:02:39Instead, I tapped on the video Sienna had sent me, a provocation in digital form.
00:02:45Their voices echoed through the sterile hospital room.
00:02:51Look at me.
00:02:52I am.
00:02:53Then tell me, who do I belong to?
00:02:55You belong to me.
00:02:56Only you?
00:02:57Only me.
00:02:58Then why is Isabella still Mrs. Morelli?
00:03:00A title means nothing.
00:03:01I love you.
00:03:02Her?
00:03:03Even if she bore my child, she'll never compare to you.
00:03:06Renato's face darkened.
00:03:07The original Don lowered his head as if age had crushed him in a single second.
00:03:12The Morettos owe you.
00:03:13I'll take care of the divorce.
00:03:15In seven days, you'll have your freedom.
00:03:17A nurse walked in, carrying the lifeless body of my baby.
00:03:21Mrs. Moretti, I'm sorry.
00:03:23That tiny bundle who had nursed in my arms that morning was now cold to the touch.
00:03:27With him, the last of my heart died.
00:03:30I reached out and touched my baby's cold cheek.
00:03:35There was no warmth left.
00:03:37No breath.
00:03:39No tiny fingers curling around mine.
00:03:42The nurse turned away, wiping her eyes.
00:03:45Mrs. Moretti, do you need more time?
00:03:48I wanted to say yes.
00:03:49I wanted to hold him forever.
00:03:51He will be buried under the Moretti name.
00:03:54But my mother's ashes, I'll take them.
00:03:58Rinaldo's throat tightened.
00:04:01Thank you, Isabella.
00:04:03You're a good woman.
00:04:05You don't deserve to be chained to a son like mine.
00:04:08With that, Rinaldi took my baby and left.
00:04:12Only then did my tears finally break free.
00:04:15Marrying Vincenzo had always been about mutual interests.
00:04:19About exchange.
00:04:21He needed a respectable wife to mask his blood-stained rise through the underworld.
00:04:26And I needed money.
00:04:27A fortune.
00:04:28To save my mother's life.
00:04:30So I put on a wedding gown and walked into the trap called marriage.
00:04:36At first, I thought he was not entirely heartless.
00:04:39I heard him cry in his sleep.
00:04:42Calling out for Mama.
00:04:43Mama.
00:04:44He had lost both parents as a child.
00:04:47And Renato later adopted him.
00:04:50Back then, he was like a child trapped in a nightmare.
00:04:53I had felt something stir in me.
00:04:56Maybe two broken souls can keep each other warm.
00:05:01That was what I told myself.
00:05:03With a heart full of compassion, I learned his mother's cooking, rebuilt the wooden cabin
00:05:08from his childhood memories, and endured every demand, every controlling impulse he had.
00:05:15I foolishly believed love might call him back to humanity.
00:05:18In the end, he devoured me, leaving not even my bones behind.
00:05:24The first time Vincenzo betrayed me, he took my best friend to a hotel.
00:05:28I still remembered the hallway outside that suite.
00:05:31The carpet was soft, the air smelled like roses, and my hands were shaking so badly I could barely hold
00:05:37my phone.
00:05:41I pushed the door open and saw them together.
00:05:44My best friend pulled the blanket to her chest.
00:05:48Isabella, I can explain.
00:05:50But Venanzo did not bother explaining anything.
00:05:53He buttoned his shirt slowly, as if I were an interruption to his evening.
00:05:58Who do you think you are?
00:06:01I'm your wife.
00:06:03You're nothing but a dog my father took in to polish my image and cover up my identity.
00:06:08I stood there, numb.
00:06:11Vincenzo, my mother is still in treatment.
00:06:13I only asked you for basics respect.
00:06:16Don't test me, or I'll immediately stop all of your mother's medical treatments.
00:06:20That sentence chained me harder than any wedding vow.
00:06:24After that, he shamelessly continued sleeping with other women.
00:06:27He destroyed my social circle.
00:06:30I had worked hard to become a department header at my company, but he threw everything into chaos.
00:06:35Projects stalled, meetings were disrupted, clients were lost, because I had to drop everything at a moment's notice to clean
00:06:44up whatever mess he made.
00:06:46Every time I wanted to leave, I saw my mother lying in a ward, depending on money I did not
00:06:51have.
00:06:54Just endure a little longer.
00:06:55That was what I told myself for ten years.
00:06:58And now my mother was dead anyway.
00:07:01I endured the rot of my marriage until I could no longer recognize myself.
00:07:06One day, in a haze of exhaustion, I fell down the stairs.
00:07:14When I woke up, the ceiling above me was white, and a doctor stood by my bed with a file
00:07:19in his hand.
00:07:20Mrs. Marotti, you're pregnant.
00:07:22For a long moment, I could not speak.
00:07:25A child, mine and Vincenzo's.
00:07:27I should have been terrified.
00:07:29Instead, I felt a fragile, foolish spark of hope.
00:07:34Renato came to see me that evening.
00:07:37The old Don stood beside my bed.
00:07:40Keep the child.
00:07:42Father, a baby won't change him.
00:07:44Renato's hand tightened around his cane.
00:07:47Maybe this baby will soften his heart.
00:07:50If he still doesn't change after the child is born,
00:07:53I swear, I won't stop you from leaving.
00:07:56I hesitated.
00:07:58I struggled.
00:07:59Part of me wanted to run.
00:08:01Another part remembered Vincenzo crying in his sleep.
00:08:04Remembered the boy who had lost everything.
00:08:07Remembered the man I had once tried to heal.
00:08:11If I keep this child, will you protect him?
00:08:15With my life.
00:08:18So in the end, I agreed.
00:08:21I let myself believe that a baby might build a bridge between us.
00:08:25But a beast does not become human because someone offers it tenderness.
00:08:28My mother died.
00:08:30My child was gone.
00:08:32And I laughed at myself for trying to tame Vincenzo Moremmi with gentleness.
00:08:36Yes, I had lost everything.
00:08:39Finally, I feared nothing.
00:08:43I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes.
00:08:48Looked out at the gray, overcast sky.
00:08:50Autumn in Stonehaven was as bleak and cold as ever.
00:08:56The phone rang.
00:08:58It was Vincenzo.
00:09:00For ten years, whenever his name flashed on my screen, my body reacted before my mind did.
00:09:06I would panic, apologize, and prepare myself for punishment.
00:09:10This time, I answered calmly.
00:09:14Did you go complaining to my father again?
00:09:16His voice was full of irritation.
00:09:19Sienna and I finally had a moment alone, and you had to ruin everything again.
00:09:23I didn't call him.
00:09:24I'm warning you.
00:09:25If you stick your nose in my business one more time, I'll cancel every single one of your credit cards.
00:09:30In the past, I would have apologized instinctively, bowed my head, even when it was not my fault.
00:09:36But now, with my baby dead and my mother gone, those threats sounded almost ridiculous.
00:09:42Do whatever you want.
00:09:43There was a pause on the other end.
00:09:46Vincenzo was stunned by my indifference, but quickly recovered.
00:09:50Don't play games, Isabella.
00:09:52As long as you're still Mrs. Moretti, I have a hundred ways to break you, piece by piece.
00:09:58I already knew the depths of his cruelty.
00:10:00I had seen every version of it.
00:10:02I lifted my chin, my voice calm and openly defiant.
00:10:05Then try.
00:10:10I hung up the phone, stood up, and called the funeral home to schedule my mother's cremation.
00:10:17My voice was calm enough to scare even myself.
00:10:21Madam, do you have a preferred time?
00:10:24As soon as possible.
00:10:27When I returned to the hospital room, a familiar figure blocked my path.
00:10:34Vincenzo stood there, gazing at me coldly.
00:10:37No more pretending?
00:10:40He looked me up and down, his mouth twisting.
00:10:43You were just in a car accident, and now you're walking around?
00:10:48Seems like you're strong enough to skip recovery.
00:10:52I did not answer.
00:10:54Darling, I'm bringing Sienna to live at the villa.
00:10:58She's young, and doesn't know how to run a household.
00:11:02When you're discharged, come home and be our maid.
00:11:06He leaned in, voice laced with twisted pleasure.
00:11:10Your pain is the best catalyst I've ever had in bed.
00:11:13He cupped my face, waiting for tears.
00:11:15He wanted to see me break, to see me beg, just like I used to.
00:11:18But I looked at him like he was a stranger.
00:11:20Vincenzo lost interest.
00:11:23He shoved me aside and turned toward the nurse.
00:11:26Where's my baby?
00:11:28Are the test results in?
00:11:29Bring the child to me.
00:11:31The young nurse turned pale.
00:11:33The baby.
00:11:34Your father took him.
00:11:36Our child.
00:11:39His expression changed instantly.
00:11:43What?
00:11:44Sienna, you were in an accident?
00:11:46Are you okay?
00:11:46Sienna's sobbing voice burst through the speaker.
00:11:50Vincenzo, Renato's men forced my car off the road.
00:11:53Isabella must have told him to punish me.
00:11:56I'm bleeding.
00:11:59Please come to me.
00:12:02Stay where you are.
00:12:03I'm coming.
00:12:11Isabella, you are so wicked.
00:12:13You deliberately used the child to distract me and then let Renato hurt Sienna.
00:12:17Sienna, you have really disappointed me.
00:12:21The slap knocked me into the metal railing behind me.
00:12:24Pain seared through my chest.
00:12:26My surgical wound felt as if it had been torn open again.
00:12:29What did you do to Sienna?
00:12:32If anything happens to her, I swear I won't forgive you.
00:12:38For a second, I almost laughed.
00:12:40The woman who ran me down with her car was now playing victim, and the man who abandoned
00:12:45his own child believed her without hesitation.
00:12:47I just had surgery.
00:12:48What could I possibly do to her?
00:12:51My voice was weak, but every word was clear.
00:12:54Vincenzo took another step toward me.
00:12:56Mr. Morelli, you'll kill her if you hit her again.
00:12:59Vincenzo paused.
00:13:00The nurse rushed forward and caught me before I collapsed.
00:13:04Not because he cared about me, but because the corridor had gone silent.
00:13:10Doctors, nurses, and patients were watching.
00:13:13The great dawn of Stonehaven could humiliate his wife in private, but he still cared about
00:13:18the Moretti image.
00:13:21You'd better pray Sienna is fine.
00:13:23Then he stormed off.
00:13:25The nurse looked at me with pity.
00:13:27My body trembled, barely staying upright.
00:13:29But inside, something had become strangely still.
00:13:33Mrs. Moretti, please sit down.
00:13:35You're bleeding again.
00:13:36I had once feared his anger more than anything.
00:13:39Now his anger flaked background noise.
00:13:42Please help me back to my room.
00:13:44Of course.
00:13:45I took one step forward and finally understood.
00:13:48The woman who had begged for his mercy died with my child.
00:13:53The doctor instructed me to rest, but rest was impossible.
00:13:56I finally pieced together the reason behind Vincenzo's violent outburst.
00:14:01The death of my baby had devastated Renato.
00:14:04In his grief, he immediately mobilized the family's power to blacklist Sienna across the
00:14:10board.
00:14:11Sienna, convinced that I was behind it all, exaggerated the story and complained bitterly
00:14:17to Vincenzo.
00:14:18In a fit of rage, he came to the hospital and laid his hands on me.
00:14:23Mrs. Moretti, your body cannot withstand more trauma.
00:14:28I know.
00:14:30But Vincenzo did not stop there.
00:14:34To appease Sienna, he revoked my shareholder status in the Moretti family business and
00:14:38transferred all my shares to her.
00:14:45Then he spent millions purchasing naming rights to an entire star field from an astronomical
00:14:50institute, renaming 20 stars after Sienna.
00:14:57On social media, he posted one line, Vincenzo's post.
00:15:02I bought the stars so she alone could shine.
00:15:04The photo showed him kissing Sienna at a private observatory.
00:15:07In a later interview, Sienna flaunted her diamond ring, beaming with pride.
00:15:13I never saw myself as a homewrecker.
00:15:16If a woman can't hold on to her husband's heart, she deserves to live like a widow.
00:15:22Isabella only married Vincenzo for the Moretti fortune.
00:15:25But me?
00:15:26I gave him nothing but love.
00:15:28The comments flooded in, insulting me, demanding I step aside and give Sienna her place.
00:15:35Vincenzo had used the same tricks on me.
00:15:38Now, watching him repeat them for another woman, I felt nothing but disgust.
00:15:44After all these years, Vincenzo's tricks for seduting women had not changed.
00:15:49He knew I came from poverty.
00:15:51He knew I had never celebrated a proper birthday.
00:15:54So on my 20th birthday, he gave me 20 gifts.
00:15:58From a gold necklace meant for my first birthday to a villa and a sports car.
00:16:03I knew I was just a Menschen Ganz Shen pergi.
00:16:03I'm not aリーダ possibil got me to crying to her if I wanted to die.
00:16:03So I
00:16:04tell her to give Sienna and tell her a little bit about my definition.
00:16:04But now
