00:19:19You're trash.
00:23:23another man. For ten whole years, she had believed Jason was the one who saved her. In the three days
00:23:28I disappeared, he became her hero. The man who risked everything for her. And me? I became the
00:23:33reckless one. The glory-hungry idiot who almost got everybody killed. What a sick joke. My throat
00:23:39was dry and raw, but I still forced the words out, shouting with everything I had left. I told you!
00:23:43I can't go underwater! My ear can't handle the pressure! If I go down there, my brain could
00:23:48hemorrhage! Do you people want me dead? Vanessa's eyes flickered. Just for a second, a flash of
00:23:53panic. Gone almost instantly. Then Victor charged at me in a rage. He rushed over and kicked
00:23:58me hard. I hit the deck and rolled. Keep lying! Go ahead! Keep pretending! Ethan, you're rotten
00:24:03to the core! At a time like this, you're still faking a disability just to get out of it? Off
00:24:08to the side, my mom collapsed to the deck, wiping her tears, sobbing like her heart was ripping
00:24:12apart. Oh, God! Jason was an angel! He's always been so sweet! He did everything for us! If
00:24:19we lose him, I can't go on! Then the boat captain, Adam, walked over. He tapped his watch.
00:24:27Ms. Lane, this is where Jason went under. Based on the time, his tank has maybe 30 minutes
00:24:32left. That one sentence shattered whatever reason Vanessa still had. Her pretty face twisted
00:24:37from panic. She spun toward me and screamed. You heard him move! Now gear him up! I stared
00:24:42at her, and something in me finally went cold. Fine. I'll go. But I have one condition. I
00:24:49want the best deepwater gear you've got. If they were really going to shove me into hell,
00:24:53then I was grabbing whatever slim chance I had. No matter how small. If the gear was strong
00:24:57enough, maybe I could survive the pressure. The second I gave in, Vanessa's shoulders dropped,
00:25:01like she could finally breathe again. She rushed over and grabbed my hand tight.
00:25:05Ethan, I knew it! I knew you still cared! I knew you wouldn't just let him die!
00:25:10Then the next second, guilt flashed across her face. She pointed to a pile of junk in
00:25:14the corner. But there's no other option. This is the only diving gear on the boat. You
00:25:19used to be the best diver in the business. A little problem like this, you can handle
00:25:24it, right? She said it so casually, like it was nothing. I followed her finger, and my
00:25:29blood went cold. It was an old dive suit. The rubber was cracked in places. The air valve
00:25:35was rusted. That kind of gear should have been scrapped years ago. There was no way it was
00:25:39safe. A chill shot straight up my spine. I yanked my hand away, then backed up in panic.
00:25:44Vanessa, are you out of your mind? You're no diving! If I go down in that thing, that's
00:25:48the same as killing me! Adam looked at the suit, too. His face tightened.
00:25:52Mrs. Lane, this gear really is too old. The risk on a forced deep dive is way too high.
00:25:57If something goes wrong... Before he could finish, Vanessa's face went cold. She cut him off
00:26:02without hesitation. At a time like this, who the hell cares about that? Get over here!
00:26:06Put it on him!
00:26:08A few bodyguards rushed me at once. They slammed me onto the deck, pinned me down hard. In the
00:26:12struggle, someone stomped down. My hearing aid flew off. It cracked apart, then got crushed
00:26:16under a shoe. Shattered. The one thing that had stayed with me for years. Gone. In the end,
00:26:22they forced the suit onto my body anyway. And Vanessa strapped a heavy industrial weight
00:26:25belt around my waist. Sixty pounds of lead, enough to make sure I sank. Then they shoved
00:26:30me toward the edge of the boat. In that last, desperate moment, I turned and looked back
00:26:33at this family. Victor stood there with his arms crossed, coldly. Like none of it had anything
00:26:38to do with him. There wasn't one shred of pity in his eyes. Not for his own son. And
00:26:42my mother, Susan? She had her hands clasped tight, eyes shut, praying into empty air. Her lips
00:26:48trembled as she whispered,
00:26:49Please, please let him be safe. Please, God, let Jason come back, okay?
00:26:55At a moment like this, with my life hanging by a thread, she was praying for him. For
00:26:59Jason. Not her own flesh and blood. It was grotesque. It was pathetic. It was almost funny.
00:27:05Then suddenly, a huge force slammed into my chest. Someone shoved me. Hard. The second
00:27:10the deck vanished under my feet.
00:27:11Ethan! If you bring Jason back, we'll get married right away. I'll be right here waiting
00:27:15for you.
00:27:16Then the ocean swallowed me whole. The freezing water wrapped around my body instantly. The
00:27:20weight belt dragged me down. Fast. Way too fast. Straight into the deep.
00:27:24The pressure hit my ears like a sledgehammer. My right eardrum was already hanging by a
00:27:28thread. Now it tore. A dull ripping burst exploded inside my head, like a balloon popping in my
00:27:33skull. Pain. Blinding pain. So much pain, my whole body seized up. I opened my mouth to scream.
00:27:39A mouthful of seawater rushed in instead. My lungs felt like giant hands were crushing me.
00:27:43My vision turned red. Then darker. Then worse. My mind started slipping away. And just when I
00:27:48was drowning. Just when the dark was closing over me. Just when I gave up trying to live.
00:27:51A pair of soft hands reached for me. Fast. Strong. And grabbed me.
00:27:55Susan pressed a hand to her chest. Her face was pale. She leaned against the railing. Her
00:28:00eyes stayed locked on the water. Victor had his hands behind his back. He kept pacing.
00:28:04Back and forth.
00:28:05Jason will be fine. He's lucky. He has to be okay. Ethan was a diving champion. He'll bring
00:28:12Jason back up.
00:28:13She kept saying it over and over. Like if she said it enough, it would come true. Like
00:28:17it could calm the fear inside her. But her fingers were shaking, and that gave her away.
00:28:21Then suddenly, a sharp alarm shattered the dead silence. A Coast Guard boat was speeding
00:28:25toward them. Fast. A few officers jumped onto the deck. The man in front scanned everyone
00:28:30with hard, sharp eyes.
00:28:31I'm Owen with the Harbor City Coast Guard. Who's in charge here?
00:28:35Victor hurried over at once. He pulled out a business card and handed it over.
00:28:38We're with Cole Group. My son went missing while diving. We came out here to look for him
00:28:44ourselves.
00:28:45Owen took the card.
00:28:46Rescue?
00:28:47Then he looked them over coldly.
00:28:49We pulled him out three hours ago.
00:28:54The whole deck went dead silent. Then Owen pulled up footage from his body cam. He opened
00:28:58a video and held it up.
00:28:58Three hours ago, during patrol, we recovered a man from the water. It was Jason Cole. We
00:29:04tried contacting his family. No answer. Never thought you came all the way out here. There's
00:29:10no signal. The doctor on board examined him. He'd been exposed to a marine toxin. A sea
00:29:14berry. A kind of sea slug. That toxin can trigger severe hallucinations. In serious cases,
00:29:19it could be fatal. He might have touched one while diving. He's already been taken to the
00:29:22hospital. He's been stabilized for now.
00:29:24The second they heard Jason was alive, my parents and Vanessa lit up with joy. Like they
00:29:28had all just been handed their lives back. And not one of them cared about the word
00:29:31hallucinations. Not one. Victor nearly started crying on the spot. He was so excited he could
00:29:36barely stand still.
00:29:37I knew it! I knew Jason was blessed! He's always had luck on his side!
00:29:42Vanessa, did you hear that? Jason's okay! We have money. As long as he's still breathing,
00:29:48we can save him. We'll spend whatever it takes.
00:29:50Vanessa finally let out a long breath. A smile of pure relief broke across her face, like
00:29:54she had just survived a nightmare. Then the smile froze, right there on her face, because
00:29:59suddenly she remembered. Half an hour ago she had shoved her ex-husband into the ocean,
00:30:02with her own hands. Forced him down there, to save Jason. He was lying in a hospital.
00:30:06Alive. So where was Ethan? I had already been underwater for over 30 minutes, and there was
00:30:10still no sign of me. Not even a trace. A terrible thought started rising in her mind. But before
00:30:14she could think it through, Owen took a file from one of his officers. His expression
00:30:18turned strange, cold, sharp, almost mocking. Then he looked straight at them and spoke again.
00:30:24Well, if you're his family, that actually makes this easier. He opened the document,
00:30:29then announced it on the spot. As of this moment, Jason Cole is in custody. He is suspected of stealing
00:30:35protected underwater artifacts, and suspected of murder.
00:30:40The night before my wedding, I got a keycard. Presidential suite. A penthouse in Manhattan.
00:30:46The place my fiancé. The place we first made love. A pre-wedding surprise. Then I opened the
00:30:51door. All I saw was his back.
00:30:59It's nothing personal. I'm just tired of the act. You needed to see the real me before the wedding.
00:31:04So you don't give me any shit later. Don't worry. You'll still be the official Mrs. Bellini.
00:31:08You've been with me for 10 years. Your hands aren't clean either. You did it all for my business.
00:31:12Who else in the city would have you? So, the wedding's tomorrow. As planned. I'll give you
00:31:18your spectacle. He thought I'd break. I just slipped his rock off my finger. The engagement ring. I put
00:31:23it on the table and walked away. The next day, Nico Bellini stood at the altar of St. Patrick's
00:31:28Cathedral, dressed like a king, waiting for me to bow. I didn't run. I didn't hide. I walked right up
00:31:33to
00:31:33him on the arm of his greatest enemy. You wanted a wedding. Here it is. The marriage
00:31:41certificate? It belongs to him now.
00:31:50Serafina, over here. Look here. You're New York's top art consultant. How does it feel
00:31:54marrying the Don of the Bellucci family? A match made in heaven. The wedding of the century.
00:31:59Reporters, disguised as guests, swarmed the entrance to St. Patrick's Cathedral.
00:32:03Miss Vitale, your gallery has supplied high society with countless treasures. Today,
00:32:08you've become the most precious piece of art yourself. I ignored the camera flashes and the
00:32:12endless praise, walking toward the church, blanked by my bodyguards. He called me this morning.
00:32:17I'd fucked that woman all night. Seven times. I needed to catch up on sleep to have enough energy
00:32:23for the wedding, so I couldn't come pick up my bride. He was so sure I'd come on my own.
00:32:29He walked
00:32:30toward me and gave me a light kiss on the lips. Baby, you finally made it. It's fine. I know
00:32:37you're a
00:32:37busy man. Yeah. Boss, that move last night was cold. Making her watch you with another woman,
00:32:43and she still shows up today, smiling in a wedding dress. Yeah, any other woman would have lost her
00:32:47mind. Our Donna's got guts. Of course she does. She's been with me for ten years. What hasn't she
00:32:52seen? Besides, who else in the city would dare to have her? Everyone here knew how much money I'd
00:32:57laundered for him over the last ten years. How many messes I'd cleaned up. My hands weren't clean.
00:33:01Like he said, who else would have me? Just then, his private phone rang. He glanced at the screen.
00:33:06A smile touched his lips. What's wrong? Didn't I tell you to call later? Nico, I'm flying to Paris
00:33:13this afternoon. I made an appointment at City Hall in ten minutes. Can you come? I want to have the
00:33:20certificate before I go. Ten minutes? In that much of a hurry? Boss? Who was that? Isla. She's flying to
00:33:27Paris. Insisted on getting the marriage license before she leaves. The way she begs for it?
00:33:32Un-fucking-real. What about the wedding? What about it? The ceremony will take an hour or two. I'll
00:33:37just swing by City Hall. It's a ten minute thing. You know how that little princess gets. If I don't
00:33:40keep her happy, she'll throw a tantrum at the airport. Here, get a picture of us. For the memories.
00:33:48Be good. I gotta go, or I'll be late for the registry. You wait for me.
00:33:56Ten years of my youth. Ten years of love. All for last night's humiliation and today's
00:34:01wait for me. I felt clearer than I had in years. Nico Bellino! If you walk out that door
00:34:07today, I'm replacing the groom.
00:34:17Replacing the groom?
00:34:20Serafina, what do you think this is? Some cheap soap opera?
00:34:26Baby, don't make a scene. Who would you replace me with? In this entire city, what man would dare touch
00:34:33my woman? Of course, if you actually manage to find a man who will touch you, maybe I'll
00:34:37two prosers in. I'll let you have your fun. I told you. You're the only official Donna.
00:34:42Stop messing around. Those little strays on the outside? I'm just playing, okay?
00:34:47Boss, maybe you should make Isla wait? It's your big day with the Donna. That little princess is more
00:34:52of a handful. She's not going anywhere. She has nowhere else to go.
00:34:59I stood in front of the cathedral. The photographer beside me held his camera, awkwardly
00:35:03unsure of what to do. No one said a word. I looked down at my left hand. The ring finger
00:35:07was bare. Last night, I left the engagement ring on the hotel coffee table, right next to
00:35:11that woman's scattered lingerie. A slow smile spread across my face. Nico, if you're in such
00:35:16a hurry to register your marriage with another woman, then go. This multi-million dollar wedding
00:35:19of the century, I'll be happy to take it. Let's go inside. Donna? The wedding is about
00:35:24to start, isn't it? Or do you want to keep over 300 of New York's most important people
00:35:27waiting outside?
00:35:31The church was packed. The elite of New York high society were all here. Politicians,
00:35:36business magnates, art collectors, and representatives from every family. Everyone was waiting for
00:35:40the wedding of the century. The wedding march began to play its solemn tune. Everything was
00:35:44perfect, except the groom was missing. I heard Rocco and the others shuffling behind me. They
00:35:48had no idea what to do. Donna, the boss just had some family business to handle. He'll be right
00:35:53back. Why don't you sit for a bit? Yeah, yeah, the boss knows what he's doing. It's your wedding
00:35:56day. He won't be late. The boss was willing to throw this wedding for you. He's not gonna
00:35:59let a few hundred million go to waste. I glanced at the antique clock at the front of the church.
00:36:03Fine. I'll wait for him. Quick, bring a glass of champagne for madam. I'll wait, but it won't be for
00:36:11him. The waiting room was silent except for the ticking of the clock. I looked around, taking in every
00:36:18detail. The waterfall of white roses by the window, the crystal curtains hanging from the dome,
00:36:22even the font on the guest cards was custom designed by the best in Europe, on his orders.
00:36:27That was Nico. When he did something, he did it to the extreme. It was true when he pursued me,
00:36:31and it was true for this wedding. He made this wedding the talk of the town, the dream of every
00:36:34woman, and he made his cheating just as extreme. The door to the dirty room burst open. My best
00:36:39friend, Chloe. Serafina! I just saw Nico drive off! It's your wedding day! Has he lost his mind?
00:36:46Right? He's running off to get a marriage license with another woman?
00:36:51I thought he was just talking shit, but did he have to pick today? When you tried on your dress?
00:36:56I remembered that day. Nico was standing outside the dressing room. He saw me in the dress through a
00:37:00crack in the door, and his eyes instantly weltered up. I have never seen a more beautiful bride.
00:37:05I was so jealous of you back then. I wanted to punch my own loser boyfriend. Who would have thought
00:37:09he could turn around and pull a stunt like this? Just then, my phone buzzed. A notification from
00:37:14Instagram. I opened it. A new post from Isla. The photo showed clothes scattered on a luxurious
00:37:21bedspread, a woman's lace panties, and a magnificent wedding dress. An identical custom
00:37:26made gown to the one I was wearing, but that dress was covered in white stains. I knew exactly what
00:37:30they were. Isla's caption was pure provocation. Someone said he'd only be 10 minutes, but now he
00:37:35won't leave. Says I'm his favorite toy, and he can't get enough of me. Isla, who are you trying to
00:37:40piss off? Whoever's sitting in a wedding dress waiting for a man who isn't coming? I took a
00:37:46screenshot. What? That bitch! Calm down. Calm down? Serafina, did you see what she posted? That
00:37:54whore is humiliating you. I saw it. I put the phone back in my purse. My movements as composed as
00:37:59if I
00:37:59were handling a simple business contract. You came to New York from Chicago for him? Do you know how
00:38:04pissed your parents were? Back then, Nico Belinci was a nobody, and you bet 10 years on him against
00:38:09your parents. Now you've lost everything. You even used your father's connections to launder
00:38:13his money, to build his network, to get him where he is today. And he had the nerve to wait
00:38:17until
00:38:17the night before the wedding to show his true colors? Serafina, wake up! A man like that isn't
00:38:21worth it! I stood up and walked to the full-length mirror. The woman in the mirror wore a million
00:38:25-dollar
00:38:25dress. Her makeup was perfect, her posture elegant, like a beautiful piece of art. Chloe, you're right.
00:38:30A 10-year bet. It's time to collect. You mean you're going to break up with him? Break up? No.
00:38:36No. That's letting him off too easy. As for my parents, after the wedding is over,
00:38:40I'll go back and admit I lost. Today is the day I collect on all my bets.
00:38:46I calmed Chloe down, and I calmed myself down. I needed some air. I pushed open the French
00:38:52doors to the terrace and stepped outside. The New York autumn air was cool against my bare
00:38:56shoulders. As I was about to take a deep breath, I heard men's voices.
00:38:59The boss is playing with fire this time, huh? Is he really not coming back?
00:39:04What fire? He's got a siren wrapped around him. What's he supposed to do?
00:39:08Besides, the Donna is easier to handle than the little princess. The boss knows what he's
00:39:12doing.
00:39:14How long do you think the Donna will put up with it? Look at her today. The groom ditches
00:39:18her in front of all the median guests, and she doesn't even flinch.
00:39:23With a Donna like that, the boss doesn't know how good he has it. So when is he coming
00:39:27back? The guests are all here. If we drag this out any longer, what's the rush?
00:39:32I'll give the boss a video call right now, see what the hell is going on. Boss, about
00:39:47the Donna's out here. She's asking about the wedding. Nico, pay attention to me. Boss, sounds like you're busy over
00:39:55there.
00:39:56Well, you handle your business, boss. We can handle the Donna for you. The wedding starts in three minutes.
00:40:04Donna, we... Since Nico is busy, let him listen. Over 300 guests are waiting for the wedding of the century.
00:40:11Do you think this is appropriate?
00:40:12The boss is just... What do we mean is the... Is three minutes enough for him to finish?
00:40:18Enough three minutes.
00:40:20Three minutes?
00:40:23You guys keep things under control. I'll be over when I'm done.
00:40:29Rocco quickly hung up. The air was thick with embarrassment.
00:40:32I turned to leave.
00:40:35Donna, wait!
00:40:36The boss has you in his heart. You know that. After all these years, you know how men are. It's
00:40:41just for fun.
00:40:44I ignored Marco's words. Just for fun? I walked back to the waiting room, my mind replaying the last 10
00:40:49years.
00:40:49I never wanted to believe that the man I'd been with for a decade would change his heart for some
00:40:53girl fresh out of college.
00:40:54Isla Marino, the only daughter of an old money New York family. The complete opposite of me.
00:40:58A woman who had walked the line of the underworld for 10 years.
00:41:01He changed after he met her at an auction six months ago. At first, I made excuses for him. The
00:41:06late night encrypted messages? The unfamiliar perfume on his clothes? Just some woman who hugged him too tight at a
00:41:11party? I chose to ignore all the suspicious moments. Until three months ago, he stopped making excuses for coming home
00:41:16late. He stopped hiding his phone, taking calls from her right in front of me, his voice soft and warm.
00:41:24Now, his men were still outside, whispering. They thought I would walk down the aisle alone, in my wedding dress,
00:41:30stand before the priest, and wait for a groom who might never show up.
00:41:33And then I would smile and say I do to an empty space. That was the script Nico had left
00:41:36for me.
00:41:37I looked at the time. 11 o'clock on the dot. The main door slowly swung open.
00:41:43For six...
00:41:4311 o'clock on the sfx are shotting outside.
00:42:03For 16 o'clock on the
00:55:58I know.
01:02:43It's a boy.
01:08:32I'm so sorry.
01:09:05This is murder.
01:10:06Now that you are.
01:11:49Chloe laughed.
01:15:41Good for them.
01:15:42Good for them.
