00:00the world i'm sofia romano the family's wild radiant princess vincent is the mafia air stoic
00:06controlled the very picture of restraint but every night he grips my waist fucking me until
00:12my legs go weak while whispering my name over and over princess his movements drove into me
00:18so relentlessly that i couldn't form a complete sentence the words broke apart between ragged
00:24breaths i could feel him clearly his solid presence moving within me again and again leaving me
00:30trembling with a low restrained groan he gave in to the moment pulling me closer as everything
00:43came to a head when it was over we were left clinging to each other breathing hard suspended
00:49in the fading echo of our shared climax he just doesn't know that in two weeks i'm marrying
00:55someone else the sheets are still damp with our shared heat i lie in bed catching my breath as
01:01vincent rises to dress from my side of the bed i watch his long fingers deftly buttoning his shirt
01:09family meeting he says without turning be good thought again i sit up letting the sheet cool
01:15around my waist vincent s hands pause for a moment before he moves to knot his tie vincent
01:22nothing he turns leans down and presses a kiss to my forehead i'm leaving the moment the door
01:29clicks shut i snatch my phone and dial a familiar number father i accept the marriage alliance in two
01:38weeks i'll marry the dying sterling heir in boston but i have one condition on the other end of the
01:44line
01:44don romano sounds ecstatic good name it we'll talk in person i hang up and my eyes fall on the
01:50phone
01:51vincent left on the nightstand the screen lights up with a new message from isabella vincent thanks
01:57for coming with me to the hospital today the doctor said my recovery is going well and it is all
02:02because
02:02of you i d love to see a movie with you tomorrow just like old times it is followed by
02:08a kissing emoji
02:09i stare at the message my fingertips trembling vincent has never taken me to the hospital not even when i
02:16broke a rib during training
02:24i get dressed and discreetly follow his car he pulls up to a cozy italian restaurant on motte street from
02:30a
02:31distance i watch him stride toward a girl in a white dress isabella she is even thinner than she appears
02:37in photos vincent reaches out tucking a wind swept strand of hair behind her ear i've never seen him
02:44look so gentle except when we're in bed three years ago my father said to me to vincent the sight
02:50of his
02:51handsome cold face made my knees weak sofia needs a proper education in how our family operates she's
02:55too wild you're the only one who can handle her i was 19 then fresh out of boarding school and
03:00brimming
03:00with rebellion i thought vincent was just another man trying to tame me so i decided i would tame him
03:05first the first time we met i wore a miniskirt to his office just to provoke him vincent sat behind
03:12his desk and didn't even bother to look up close your legs sofia why because the way you're sitting
03:19suggests the romano family lacks class i hiked my skirt even higher how about now vincent finally looked up
03:29his eyes cold behind his gold-rimmed glasses get out
03:37for months i did everything i could to get under his skin i slipped flirtatious notes into his files
03:42sabotaged missions he assigned and even put a laxative in his whiskey vincent always cleaned up
03:47my messes with infuriating calm then told me in that patternizing tone sofia you're a smart girl
03:52you need to apply that intelligence to the right things until that night i drugged his drink
03:56desperate to see what a vincent without his iron control would look like i just didn't expect to
04:01still be in the room when the drug took hold what did you put in my drink
04:08you've already guessed haven't you i met his searing gaze want to try me
04:15that night changed everything sofia vincent lisent princess this will be our secret he murmured
04:21stroking my cheek princess little princess that was the word that made me fall completely
04:27he pinned me to the bed kiss my body when his thick cock pressed against my clit i could clearly
04:32feel just how massive it was a wave of fear washed over me in an instant before i could even
04:37protest he
04:37thrust all the way in with one powerful stroke i gasped sharply sucking in a cold breath sofia
04:42vincent please be gentle i begged vincent let me have you all of you princess then he began to move
04:49slowly sliding in and out with each steady thrust pleasure gradually replaced the initial discomfort
04:55my juices started flowing freely soaking his thighs completely so of the ah harder i'm all
05:01feels good doesn't it my little princess deeper please deeper vincent suddenly flipped me over
05:07gripping my hips firmly as he pounded into me from behind one hand reached around to roughly rub my
05:13swelling clit his stamina was incredible he fucked me for hours driving me to orgasm again and again
05:19for the next two years we maintained this strange clandestine relationship by day he was the same
05:26composed rational vincent but at night he'd whisper princess in my ear and fuck me until my legs gave
05:32out i thought he loved me until my birthday i'd spent the entire day preparing put on my most beautiful
05:39dress and booked a table at the restaurant where we first met i was going to tell him i loved
05:44him that i
05:44wanted to be with him no matter the cost but vincent never showed up i sat alone in that restaurant
05:50for
05:50three hours until even the waiter started to look at me with pity the next day photos of vincent greeting
05:56another woman at the airport went viral in the pictures isabella was nestled in his arms the two of
06:02them as intimate as lovers so that's where he'd been last night he'd gone to pick her up i laughed
06:07bitterly and drank until i couldn't feel anything i wanted to confront him to demand to know what i was
06:13to
06:13him a sock buddy a tool but i didn't have the courage i was too lonely too addicted to the
06:19ones he offered
06:24that night linton came home to find a wreck i'd used a wine bottle to smash every single picture of
06:30isabella in his study he didn't even flinch he just instructed the maid to clean up the nest and take
06:36care
06:36of me then walked right past me in that moment i finally understood vincent was the family heir
06:44untouchable cold and proud his tolerance wasn't a sign of affection he simply couldn't be bothered
06:51to argue with me after that he still called me in bed as if nothing had changed but my heart
06:58was
06:58already dead outside the restaurant vincent opened the car door for isabella they were laughing about
07:04something i looked away and drove back to the romano family estate don romano's expression froze
07:12of what did you say melia sitting beside him practically lit up i said i'll marry the sterling
07:19family's dying heir in exchange we sever all ties from this moment on i am no longer a romano

08:05oh and don't forget to inform the sterling family their bride is no longer the eldest daughter of the
08:10romano family but a parentless orphan ask them if they're still willing to pay the same price
08:15back in my room i shut the door and the mask i wore finally crumbled tears streamed down my face
08:22i cut up on the bed a wounded animal licking its wounds do you know vincent to finally leave you
08:28i had to give up the only thing i had left the next morning i heard the sounds of furniture
08:35being
08:35moved downstairs i rose and walked to the landing of the staircase a familiar figure stood at the
08:41bottom isabella my blood went cold she was that new daughter my stepmother's daughter isabella stood
08:49at the bottom of the stairs in a simple white dress the picture of fragile innocence she spotted me
08:54smiling like an angel you must be sophia i'm isabella it's a pleasure to finally meet you
09:01i didn't answer just stared down at her don romano emerged from a living room seeing isabella
09:07a rare look of paternal affection crossed his features isabella you must be tired from your journey
09:14have sophia show you to your room thank you uncle romano
09:21take sophia's room it gets the best light perfect for your recovery
09:27my room from now on it's isabella's room you can move to the third floor there's an empty guest room
09:34up there no thanks
09:40i went back upstairs and began to pack
09:54where do you think you're going i'm leaving i said without looking back since i'm no longer a romano
09:59there's no reason for me to stay here sophia he yelled after me your wedding is in two weeks don't
10:07be
10:07ridiculous i know i'll be at the wedding to fulfill our agreement the door slammed shut behind me i
10:18drove away from the romano estate without a second glance
10:24i thought about calling a friend but then i realized i didn't have any the people who flocked
10:29around me were only there for the romano family's power and influence now that i've been cast out who
10:34would bother with me as dusk fell i dragged my suitcase aimlessly through the streets finally
10:40i found an empty bench in central park and sat down
10:46the night grew deep the park was quiet save for the distant hum of traffic i hugged my knees counting
10:52down the five days until the wedding i couldn't live on the streets until then as i worried a few
10:57drunk men staggered toward me a drunk hey beautiful all alone one of them slurred
11:04reeking of cheap booze stay away from me the man said reaching for me a drunk come on have a
11:11drink
11:11with us i stepped back but the bench blocked my escape just then a low menacing voice cut through
11:18the air she's with me i turned vincent was stepping out of the shadows his face a thunderous mask of
11:24fury
11:24the drunk stepped one look at his imposing presence and scrambled away vincent strode toward me
11:30his gaze taking in my suitcases then the bench homeless and you still won't come to me
11:37vincent drove me back to his mansion in manhattan i knew this house all too well every corner held
11:42the memory of our bodies tangled together vincent reached for my suitcase about to take it to my
11:47usual bedroom don't heading straight for a guest room i'm only staying for 12 days this is fine
11:53vincent stopped in his tracks you can stay as long as you want i put my suitcase in the guest
11:58room and
11:58closed the door i sat on the edge of the bed staring at my phone 12 more days and i
12:03would
12:03leave new york forever the next morning i went downstairs vincent was already in the dining room
12:08he saw me and gestured to the seat across from him i sat a maid brought me milk and toast
12:16vincent i found out yesterday he said his face unreadable showing no hint of guilt
12:21what is isabella to you a high school classmate she took a bullet for me once saved my life she's
12:27been recovering in europe ever since really just a classmate a savior is it that simple sophia i
12:32don't want you targeting her just because she has returned to the romano family is that a warning
12:35it's a reminder isabella's health is fragile she can't handle any trouble i nodded saying nothing more
12:42vincent was more direct in his defense of isabella than i had ever imagined what else was their task
12:47i understand i'm going upstairs i stayed in the guest room all day the maid brought lunch and
12:55dinner to my door i didn't go down that night i lay in bed unable to sleep usually vincent would
13:02open
13:02the door around this time push me down without a word and grip my waist while calling me princess
13:07but tonight nothing his first love was back of course you won't want me anymore
13:13on saturday he forced me to go to a party it didn't look like any mafia gathering i'd ever been
13:18to before i could ask i heard a familiar voice vincent you're finally here isabella in a white evening
13:25gown fluttered over like a butterfly she saw me and her expression faltered for a fraction of a second
13:31before she plastered on a sweet smile sophia's here too that's wonderful i glanced around and saw a
13:37large banner that read welcome home isabella it was a welcome party for her vincent had brought
13:43me to isabella's welcome home party i turned to leave but isabella stopped me sophia what's wrong
13:48are you not feeling well she asked her voice tripping with concern i heard you moved out of
13:52your house is it because of me i'm so sorry i had no idea uncle romana would let me stay
13:58in your room
13:58her voice was soft and gentle but loud enough for everyone around us to hear a few guests looked
14:03my way with questioning eyes it's fine i replied curtly it's just a room but uncle romano said you
14:10even disowned him isabella's eyes welled with tears it's all my fault if i hadn't come back
14:18don't cry your eyes will get swelling he took out a handkerchief and dabbed at her tears isabella's
14:25tears turned to a smile she blinked her wet lashes and said you're so good to me vincent
14:31i watched them all night he pulled out her chair he bought her drinks he fixed her dress a sharp
14:36pain
14:37pierced my heart in 10 days i thought benson was just a cold man who didn't know how to be
14:42romantic
14:42i was wrong he's not cold he just wasn't willing to do those things for me i turned and walked
14:48to
14:48the bar grabbed the glass of champagne and downed most of it in one go after the party i stood
14:54alone
14:54outside the club waiting for a car isabella came out with vincent carefully helping her walk sofia
15:00i'm so sorry about what happened earlier i twisted my ankle so suddenly vincent couldn't get to you
15:06but it looks like you handled it well she glanced at my injured hand a flash of triumph in her
15:11eyes
15:11i did i've always been good at handling my own problems that's good to be honest i was a little
15:16worried when vincent brought you tonight after all you two used to used to what you don't actually
15:21think vincent has special feelings for you do you isabella lingon her voice a low venomous whisper
15:26sofia dear vincent just pities you you're homeless now so he took you in out of charity that's all
15:32is that so of course vincent only has room in his heart for me it's been that way since high
15:38school
15:39that will never change just then a black sedan lost control and sped straight toward us in a split
15:45second vincent lunged forward and through his arms and arms ago shielded her with his body and me i was
15:50struck hard by the out of control car and thrown violently to the ground
16:02as the car hit me my consciousness began to fade pain shot through my entire body but what hurt more
16:08was the absolute crushing despair of being abandoned slashes of memory flooded my mind i remember the first
16:14time he pinned me down calling me princess i remember the knights in his arms listening to
16:20the steady beat of his heart thinking i had finally found my home but the last thing i saw was
16:25the truth
16:26vincent diving for her leaving me to face the crash alone listening to the steady beat of his heart
16:31thinking i had finally found my home the final image was frozen in my mind vincent without a moment's
16:37hesitation diving to protect isabella and nay like some disposable bystander left to face the danger
16:43all alone when i finally opened my eyes i was in a hospital bed it was quiet but i could
16:49hear them
16:49talking just outside my curtain vincent's voice was so gentle it sounded like a stranger's voice
16:55are you okay isabella softly said yes she asked him vincent if it happened again you'd still save me first
17:04right vincent didn't even hesitate of course he said
17:10sofia has no reason to be angry in an emergency i'm obviously going to save the more fragile person
17:14she understands that after vincent left the room was quiet but not for long the door creaked open
17:21and there she was isabella sat by my bed with a poisonous smile she told me a story about high
17:27school about how she was vincent's first love she told me she took a bullet for him during an ambush
17:32and ever since vincent has been consumed with guilt he promised to spend the rest of his life making
17:38it up to her then she leaned in her voice turning venomous she told me that while she was away
17:43she
17:43lied to vincent she told him i was mistreating her mother vincent didn't discipline me because he was
17:48forced to he asked for the job he wanted to break you to get revenge for her i felt my
17:53blood turned
17:53to ice but it got worse isabella pulled out her phone and asked did you know that every single
17:58time you two were together it was being recorded vincent installed hidden cameras in the bedroom
18:02he filmed our most private moments just to give her leverage to control me vincent never loved you
18:07he was just completing a mission and now he's going to marry me i couldn't stay in that hospital bed
18:12for
18:12another second i jumped into a cabin headed straight to vincent mansion i had to know i had to see
18:19if the
18:20man i loved was actually the monster isabella described i ran into a study and punched the code
18:25into the hidden wall it slid open to reveal a room full of monitors and computers my hands shook
18:31as i found the folder labeled sofia i clicked it there they were hundreds of videos every night
18:37we spent together every i love you i whispered in his arms he had recorded it all in high definition
18:43i crumpled to the floor it was all true i called my father my voice breaking i asked him 10
18:49years ago
18:50did vincent offer to discipline me my father didn't even hesitate he told me vincent gave him a 200
18:57million dollar project just for the chance to take me under his wing vincent didn't love me he bought me
19:03he slept with me and controlled me just to get revenge i started to laugh it was a hysterical broken
19:09sound i went to the bedroom and grabbed my suitcase along with my flight ticket to a city where he
19:14will
19:14never find me on my way out i picked up a solid gold lighter the first gift benson ever gave
19:20me
19:20i used to think it was a symbol of love but now i realized it was just a mark on
19:24his prey i flicked
19:25the lighter open and tossed it onto the heavy silk curtains i watched the flames grow devouring the
19:30memories the lies and the girl who once loved him so deeply the sky was a hellish red as fire
19:35trucks
19:35surrounded the mansion i watched it burn a message popped up when i turned on my phone it was vincent
19:40i heard you burned the house do you feel better now my princess i didn't apply i was about to
19:46catch my flight i received another message from him stay home and wait for me i have something to
19:52tell you i turned off my phone whispered to the empty air i'll never see each other again i threw
19:56my
19:56phone out the window and watched it shatter now he has no way to find me at the airport i
20:01sat by the
20:01window outside i saw his private jet on the tarmac i accidentally saw his silhouette walking up the
20:07stairs heading to another city for his meeting my flight was called i realized then there were two
20:12planes on that runway pointed in completely opposite directions vince had walked out of the mafia meeting
20:19and loosened his tie after three days of high stakes negotiations he'd finally taken several more ports
20:25the corsini territory had finally fallen he was at the top of his game he turned on his phone for
20:30the
20:31first time in 72 hours and the screen lit up with 99 missed messages from isabella but his eyes went
20:36straight to the only one that mattered a single message from sofia he tapped it expecting her
20:41usual sass instead his blood ran cold it was a bank notification transfer received 813 000 the memo
20:50simply read settlement from medical and living expenses no i miss you no where have you been just
20:56the final bill paid in full that was the total amount of vincent's money i had spent over the last
21:00three years i transferred it to him back vincent almost laughed from frustration he typed back
21:06you think i need your money do we really need to settle accounts like this he waited for the reply
21:12he
21:13knew would come in seconds but the chat windows stayed silent 10 minutes passed nothing he called her
21:18only to hear a cold robotic voice say the number you have dialed is not in service for a second
21:24vincent froze
21:25he thought of sofia how she looked when she snuggled into his arms at night her long lashes against
21:30her skin he looked at her profile picture a prog cat that looked exactly like her he smiled thinking
21:35she was just playing hard to get he sent one last message i'm back in new york tomorrow night be
21:41at
21:41the airport to pick me up he stared at his phone waiting for her to say no or fine but
21:46the message stayed
21:47unread for the first time in his life the ruthless crime boss felt a chill land down his spine
21:51he was used to her defiance but he wasn't prepared for her silence on the drive back vincent sat in
21:57the
21:57back seat holding a bag of jewelry box inside was the pearl mecklers sofia had bet for the one he
22:04had
22:04refused to help her buy at the auction boss i think she still heard heard about the auction but if
22:09she
22:10knew you went through all this trouble to find the real necklace for her she'd be so moved vincent
22:14looked at the box he pictured sofia's defiant beautiful face rucci he whispered marshall kept
22:21going talking about how sofia was actually kind and sweet even when she tried to act tough but then
22:27the temperature in the car dropped vincent's face turned terrifyingly dark he looked at marshall in
22:32the mirror and asked do you like her marshall's hands shook so hard the car almost swirled off the
22:38road tell me the truth marshall took a deep breath and admitted it who wouldn't be drawn to someone like
22:43her but i know she only has eyes for you boss i've only ever admired her from afar vincent calmed
22:48down
22:48slightly but boss i hope you treat her better you can't protect isabella one moment then try to be
22:53sweet to sofia the next she deserves a love that is all or nothing vincent narrowed his eyes his voice
22:59dangerous what are you implying but marshall didn't back down exactly what it sounds like he went all in
23:05boss i've always wanted to ask who do you really love is it isabella or is it sofia
23:12sofia of course the moment the words left vincent's mouth marco slammed on the brakes the tires screeched
23:19against the pavement sorry boss marco apologized hastily his back slick with a cold sweat to his
23:27surprise vincent wasn't angry he just lifted his cold gaze studying his assistant in the rear view
23:33mirror does my answer shock shock you that much marco's hands trembled on the wheel shot was an
23:38understatement it turned everything he thought he blew on its head he didn't dare say it avowed opting
23:43for a more tactful response but i've seen you treat miss isabella so well even better than you treat
23:50miss sophia that's because she took a bullet for me vincent pressed his long fingers to his temples and
23:56leaned back into the leather seat he closed his eyes memories flooding back in high school he was known at
24:02saint lee's property academy as the ice prince as the march ellie air daughters from every major
24:08family by the bite for his attention daily the most extreme incident involved the torino family's
24:14daughter arranging roses in a heart shape at the school gate to declare her feelings every girl wanted
24:20him to make them stop he needed a fake girlfriend he conceded it was a practical solution but who his
24:26gaze swept across the courtyard and landed on isabella reading in the library from then on he started
24:32singling her out he let her rest her head on his shoulder in class had her accompany him everywhere
24:38and tacitly allowed the high society rumors about them to circulate the effect was immediate the other
24:44families backed off on graduation day isabella asked him to meet on the school roof as they were
24:50leaving an assassin from a rival family appeared a dark gun barrel aimed right at him in that critical
24:57moment isabella shoved him out of the way the gunshot echoed he saw isabella full of zaga broken tight
25:05blood gushing from her chest in the hospital the pale-faced girl whispered weakly vincent
25:11i don't regret it the doctor said the bullet had grazed her heart she'd merely died out of guilt he
25:17had
25:17granted nearly every request she'd made over the years the only thing he was grateful for was isabella's
25:23comment i don't ever want that romano princess bullying my mother again which led into propose
25:28disciplining sofia to don romano himself at the thought a smile involuntarily touched vincent's
25:34lips vincent remembered the first time he saw sofia like it was yesterday she burst into his study like
25:41a flash of red leaning against the door with a smirk a princess shouldn't have to wait in that moment
25:48she
25:48was like a flame burning through his cold black and white world his heart skipped a beat even if
25:54he didn't show it for years she was a wild cat she put laxatives in his whiskey and turned his
25:59million
26:00dollar contracts into paper airplanes he loved every minute of the chase he remembered the night he
26:05finally pinned her to his desk that night sofia was furious struggling beneath him her miniskirt pushed up
26:12to her waist panties already torn and dangling from one ankle bastard let me go the vincent only smirked
26:19coldly one hand pinning both her wrists above her head while the other roughly spread her legs my
26:25princess sofia screamed her body crunching violently around him as he took her heart in deep the heavy
26:31desk creaking under their violent rhythm he took her again and again until her angry curses turned into
26:37broken bones and her legs wrapped around his waist involuntarily she was furious calling him a
26:44bastard but he just whispered my princess he took her again and again but he never said the word love
26:51vincent realized he had kept his feelings buried because he was afraid he was afraid if he confessed
26:57his love she would take it for granted or worse get bored and run away but sitting on his private
27:05jet
27:05he couldn't stop thinking about her he remembered how she secretly left warm water by his bed when
27:11he was sick even when she was nag at him his throat tightened for the first time he was desperate
27:18to get
27:18home the plane landed in new york vincent walked down the steps his eyes searching for that familiar sight
27:25every time he returned sofia was there in a bright dress waiting at him before flying into his arms like
27:33a
27:33happy birth he could almost feel her hug already he was ready to pull her into the car and never
27:40let
27:40her go vincent a voice called out a smile started to spread across his face but as he turned his
27:49smile
27:50froze it was isabella she looked fragile and sweet but vincent's body went stiff he pushed her away gently and
27:58asked what are you doing here isabella pouted telling him she had come especially to pick him up
28:05she asked aren't you happy to see me vincent gave a polite answer but he didn't even take her hand
28:11his mind was miles away he was thinking about sophia she hadn't shown up he figured she was still sulking
28:19about him he started making a mental list of gifts to fix things isabella begged him to follow her to
28:27a special place wanting to get it over with he agreed but when the ballroom doors opened at a luxury
28:36hotel
28:37vincent froze the room was a sea of white roses champagne towers and heart-shaped balloons it was a perfect
28:44setting for a romantic proposal the elite guest turned to him with knowing smiles vincent realized
28:51it instantly this was a trap just as he turned to find an exit the large screen suddenly lit up
28:58it showed vincent in high school letting isabella rest her head on his shoulder then a photo of him
29:05holding an umbrella over during the race to the crowd it looked like a perfect lifelong romance
29:12but vincent stood in the back his face a massive stone isabella walked onto the stage blushing
29:19she saw the room how vincent had watched her in the library how he only ever could drink from her
29:26hand
29:26and how everyone called them a perfect match i've always been in love with people she whispered
29:32the crowd laughed they were sure he was about to propose isabella pulled out a jewelry box she was
29:39certain he felt the same way because he had granted her every wish for years but vincent's eyes grew
29:45ice cold before she could ask the question vincent strode onto the stage the room went dead silent
29:53i can grant you anything you want but not this
30:00i am not in love with you
30:10vincent what are you saying you don't love me isabella's voice shut up the color draining from
30:15her face how is that possible you clearly vincent's voice was so calm it was cruel back then my associate's
30:22daughter's daughters were a nuisance i needed a shield a shield he parsed then continued
30:29as compensation i deposited half a million dollars into your account every year i thought we had an
30:35understanding that it was a transaction his gaze rested calmly on her pale face that was my debt to you
30:41the room erupted the envious glances instantly turned to mockery and contempt whispers rushed
30:49toward isabella like a tidal wave i knew it a man of vincent status would never fall for someone from
30:54the torino
30:55she acted like it was real but it was all in her head
30:59i heard her mother used her looks to marry into the romano family like mother like daughter i suppose
31:04always trying to climb the social ladder every word was a knife in isabel's heart her reputation was
31:11everything she had planned this for three months inviting all of new york's high society determined
31:18to become mrs marshalli in the most glamorous way possible but now she trembled her nails digging deep
31:25into her palms if fenton didn't love her then who did he love a terrible thought surfaced could it be
31:32sofia the next second vincent was turning to leave she clung to his sleeve with the last shred of her
31:39dignity
31:40in all these years did you really never feel anything for me
31:48no vincent said pulling his arm away never those two words stabbed isabella through the heart
31:56her legs gave out and she collapsed onto the stage her perfectly cropped hair came undone
32:02her makeup streaked with tears amid the pointing and whispering vincent walked out of the ballroom
32:08without a single look back striding toward the block car waiting outside marco was already there with
32:14the gifts he'd been asked to cook here boss it's all ready marco handed him a box the sapphire necklace
32:22and miss sapphire's favorite italian truffle chocolates
32:28vincent took out his phone and texted sofia come to the long island villa i have something for you
32:36no reply he called her still off frowning slightly he sent another text still not the messages went out
32:46one after another meeting only silence vincent rubbed his temples and sent one money burn down the mansion
32:53if you're still not satisfied do you want to burn another one after a long wait the phone remained
33:00quiet still no response his patience finally snapped vincent dialed don romano's number directly is sofia home
33:10get her on the phone on the other end don romano's voice was full of surprise vince didn't you know
33:16sofia i already married her off to sterling family the phone slipped from vincent's hand clattering onto the car floor
33:27the convoy sped to the romano estate vincent put the front door open and stormed inside don romano was
33:35sitting on a weathered sofa sipping whiskey he was so shocked he almost dropped his glass vincent what
33:42are you doing here you married sofia off to sterling family in boston don romano paused then gave an obsequious
33:50smile i did three days ago you were always complaining about how much trouble she was right and the sterling
33:57family's sickly heir was offering 500 million for an alliance so i married her off now you and isabella
34:04can finally be together without anyone bothering who told you i love isabella
34:09vincent slammed his fist on the marble coffee table and the entire slab cracked into he couldn't believe
34:17that this man has sold his own daughter for 500 million dollars men tear this place apart two dozen men
34:27in black suits swarmed in and in an instant porcelain furniture and paintings were reduced to fragments
34:35vincent what are you doing vincent said his voice level as of today the romano family is finished
34:45no vincenza you can't do this
34:49think of the history between our families just then isabella rushed in
35:06vincent vincent why are you doing this to my father realization dawned on her and she screamed
35:12hysterically you fell in love with sophia didn't you i did so what isabella looked as if she'd been
35:24struck by lightning then burst into manic laughter but she's never coming back you love her but you
35:33never said it so everyone thought you loved me she screamed i paid your maids to fill your study with
35:39my
35:39pictures do you think sophia never saw them why do you think she burnt down the mansion because i told
35:46her you recorded your private moments together to use as blackmail isabella's smile is twisted she
35:52wasn't forced to marry him she gave up on you completely she chose to marry someone else she'll
35:57never come back every word was a dagger twisting in vincent's heart he thought about sophia's recent
36:03behavior the lack of tantrums the silence the way she walked away from the fire without a second glance
36:11so she had seen the photos she had heard the rumors she had lost all hope in him as for
36:20the recordings
36:21he had made them but only to watch them himself he remembered how she looked in the throes of passion
36:28the stubborn way she bit her lip to keep from crying out the flush that crept up her neck when
36:33she
36:34came he couldn't bring himself to delete those memories but now they had all become weapons used
36:39against her isabella he turned his voice you will pay for this
36:55get the jet ready we're going to boston now
37:09sophia said in her room staring blankly at the meldons of luxury goods from the day she arrived at the
37:16sterling estate a non-stop stream of items had been brought to her sophia finally held up a hand
37:24look at this room is there any space left the maids exchanged glances one of them immediately pressed
37:31her earpiece and whispered a new pour young master miss sophia says the room is too small
37:38sophia dead append that's not what i meant the maid replied earnestly the young master's orders were to
37:45spend without limit sophia pressed her hand to her forehead does your young master usually throw money
37:52away way like this the young master is very wealthy for the sterling family this is just pocket change
38:00the maid said seriously sophia took a deep breath and finally asked the question i've been here for almost a
38:08week may i meet your young master please the maid hesitated the young master said he's not mentally
38:17prepared yet sophia laughed in disbelief he married me and he's not prepared
38:32fine then i'm leaving the moment the words left her mouth all the maids suddenly stood at attention
38:40young mister sophia froze and turned toward the door footsteps approached and a tall slender figure appeared
38:59sofia was stunned this was alexander sterling the supposedly dying heir he looked healthy enough to
39:06take on a dozen assassins single-handedly alexander stood at the door the tips of his ears slightly red
39:12he avoided her gaze confirming what the maid had said about not being ready sophia narrowed her eyes mr
39:18sterling care to explain i'm sorry the truth is i'm not sick i was just too scared to meet you
39:26i've been waiting for you since i was a child i've loved you for so long he was staring at
39:31the floor
39:31like a child caught doing something wrong completely unable to meet her eyes you said you've been in love
39:37with me for a long time have we met ten years ago at the yacht party in the hamptons have
39:43you forgotten
39:44who you saved sophia froze her memory pulled back a decade at that party she had been on the deck
39:51and
39:51he was flat a young boy had fallen overboard before anyone else could react she had died after swallowing
39:58several mouthfuls of seawater she finally dragged him back to the deck she got soaked to the boat but
40:05ignoring herself as she knelt to perform first aid the little boy coughed up water opened his eyes
40:11his lashes beaded with moisture she had taken off the jacket and wrapped it around his shivering body
40:19are you okay
40:23the bully had clutched her jacket his eyes shining like stars
40:31sophia snapped back to the present staring at alexander in disbelief that little kid fell in
40:36the water that was you the tips of alexander's ears burst
40:45yes i've been looking for you for 10 years sophia suddenly laughed but you were only 12 then
40:51and i was 16 i'm four years older than you because you were like an angel he said softly you
41:00saved me
41:00and you were so gentle his eyes were so clear without a trace of pretense as if he were holding
41:07his
41:07entire heart out for her to see princess i truly love you i didn't mean to deceive you if you
41:13want to
41:13leave the five by e has their yurtas and i'll let you go but if you're willing to give me
41:20a chance
41:21let me give you a home i'll spend my entire life treating you right the word home struck a deep
41:26chord in sophia's heart maybe she could try at least here someone loved her with all their heart
41:32sophia held out her hand in the days that followed alexander treated sophia like the center of the
41:37universe she casually mentioned a craving for italian food and half an hour later a three-star
41:42michelin chef and his entire team were at their door she frowned in her sleep and alexander had all
41:48the carpets in the villa replaced with a softer material most importantly the entire sterling
41:53family adored her she hadn't felt this cherished in years her new life felt like a dream until
42:04madam mr vincent is here
42:08he's asking to see you a maid reported breathlessly the magazine in sophia's hand fell to the floor
42:15she looked up and met aladdin zander's tense gaze he put down the strawberry he was holding
42:21his voice tight princess do you want to see him sophia looked at his tense profile and suddenly smiled
42:29no she reached out and put his cheek keep feeding me strawberries alexander's eyes lit up and he
42:38immediately turned back into her loyal puppy carefully feeding her strawberries one by one
42:44on sophia's birthday alexander threw a lavish party when alexander took her hands led her onto the stage and
42:51announced he was transferring 50 of his company shares to her the entire room gasped is he crazy that's
42:58billions sofia tugged on his sleeve what are you doing alexander looked down at her his eyes shining
43:05if i wasn't afraid of birding you i would give you a hundred percent someone in the crowd started chanting
43:13the ticks of alexander's ears turned bright red as he looked at sophia tentatively just as he reigned in
43:19to kiss her all room doors were kicked open everyone froze vincent stood in the doorway impeccably dressed
43:27but his eyes were terrifyingly dark his gaze was fixed on sophia and alexander's entwium heinz
43:35as if he wanted to burn a hole right through them almost instantly alexander pulled sophia into his
43:41arms shielding her with his body but sophia was surprisingly calm she looked at vincent and smiled
43:47mr marcelli what brings you here a wedding gift her words were a knife stabbing deep into vincent's chest his
43:54skull tightened veins standing out on his neck his voice was war sophia come back with me sophia
44:02smile widened go back to what to watch you take care of isabella i don't love isabella
44:07i love you the guests gasped and the whispers erupted he really is here to crash the wedding his voice
44:17was
44:17low let's talk somewhere else alexander sneered mr marcelli you're not welcome here but sophia
44:23gently placed a hand on his it's okay i'll make things clear inside of the black car sophia sat in
44:30the passenger seat calm lay looking out the window vincent was in the driver's seat his tie crooked
44:36his eyes bloodshot he had never looked so besheveled the recordings i made them but not to blackmail you he
44:43said i just his voice hoarse wanted to keep them for myself he explained everything one detail at a time
44:53when he finished the sophia just as quite and then sent for its use
45:00and come back with me his voice trembled you knew my situation but you still chose to side with isabella
45:07again and again even if you don't love her the pain you caused me was real and during that time
45:16my feelings for you slowly died i can't them back vincent's fingers tightened on the steering wheel
45:23his knuckles turning white his voice shook sophia i'm not a god i made a mistake can't you allow me
45:32one mistake is the price for one mistake losing you forever yes i don't hate you but i won't love
45:40you again either she took a golden leaf invitation from her purse and handed it to him my wedding to
45:46alexander is in three days but i need to know the truth about him first with that she opened the
45:51car
45:51door and walked toward alexander who was waiting by the road never once looking back vincent sat in
45:57the car watching her leave and suddenly remembered the first time he saw her she was in a red dress
46:02piled and radiant a fire that had burned its way into his black and white world and now that fire
46:08was
46:09gone the day before the wedding sophia sat at the vanity in the bridal suite her fingertips tracing the
46:16diamonds on her wedding dress the sun was shining and staff bustled outside preparing for the ceremony
46:22everything seemed perfect a soft knock came at the door princess alexander entered holding a cup of
46:30warm herbal tea and a small elegant velvet box he was dressed in a well-fitted black suit his eyes
46:36impossibly gentle you barely touched your breakfast he said placing the cup beside her sophia looked up
46:43a small smile on her lips thanks sophia opened the box inside were exquisite pieces of italian chocolate
46:51i heard you used to love the chocolates from this shop alexander said softly i had them flown in from
46:56milan and sophia paused surprised she was about to speak when the estate security alarm began to
47:01shriek what's going on alexander frowned a friend of voice came through alexander the system is brief all
47:08surveillance and access controls are down al zinger's face changed princess stay here don't move he
47:15hurried out giving sharp orders in the hallway before she could react the street door was pushed open
47:23soundlessly a tall figure stood in the doorway vincent sophia shot to her feet nothing over a bottle of
47:31her jewels outside a helicopter hovered its rotor blades deafening sophia's eyes widened in horror
47:39vincent this is kidnapping so what if it is you're mine he sneered leaping onto the balcony with her
47:50i should have done this the first day i saw you the wind howled whipping her wedding dress around her
47:56she looked back at the estate and saw alexander's just a figure being held back by separate
48:02he seemed to be shouting her name but the wind stole the sound the helicopter landed on a private
48:08island at dawn vincent carried sophia off the aircraft the moment her feet touched the ground
48:13she shoved him away illegal confinement she smeared her wedding dress whipping in the sea breeze when did
48:20vincent marcelli stoop to such low-life tactics so what if i did vincent gave her a tour
48:27everything here is yours he said opening the french doors the gardens the pool the library even that
48:34ocean i want to go back
48:41sophia let's start over as if none of it ever happened vincent when did you learn to lie to yourself
48:50sophia i will make you become the person you used to be
48:59she woke from a nightmare to find a small lamp on her nightstand it's light soft as the mood vincent
49:06sat by her bed watching her his eyes bloodshot this was a vincent she had never seen before tender
49:13obsessive and unconditionally indulgent for a moment she was dazed if only he had been like this before but
49:22there was no going back he cut the back of her neck pulling her closer don't don't touch me vincent
49:29froze his eyes filled with a storm of pain sophia what do you want me to do sophia looked at
49:35him and
49:36suddenly smiled let me go a maid entered madam please drink some milk when is he coming back mr vinissa

49:57the glass hit the wall shattering sophia sneered i am not your madam get out the terrified maid
50:06scrambled out sophia bent down and picked up the sharpest shard of glass vincent handed his suit jacket
50:13to the maid where is she in the master bedroom vincent pushed open the bedroom door his face filled
50:22with terror sophia was sitting on the edge of the bed a startling gash marked her wrist blood dripping
50:27from her fingertips onto the carpet staining it crimson vincent's pupils contracted he rushed forward
50:34and seized her wrist if you dare to die i will make the entire sterling family die with you sophia
50:42looked
50:42up a mocking smile on her pale face what will it take for you to finally let me go say
50:50you love me
50:51in your dreams vincent stared at her then suddenly smiled a look that sent a chill down her spine
50:58he let her go and turned to marco contact the global media now marco froze boss you mean a live
51:06stream of my wedding to sophia cameras were end at the bedroom's french doors vincent had changed into
51:15a black suit sophia was forced into a wedding dress a silk ribbon hiding a wound on her wrist vincent
51:22gripped sophia's waist and leaned in to kiss her sophia struggled fighting his lip hard enough
51:28to draw blood blood trickled from his mouth dripping onto her white dress the live stream cut out
51:34abruptly but it was too late the world was in an opera vincent are you insane sophia shoved him away
51:42his blood staining her lips vincent wiped the blood from his mouth and laughed softly now the whole world
51:48knows your mind sophia looked at him and felt like she was looking at a stranger on the 27th day
51:54of her
51:54captivity sophia learned to be obedient what do you want to eat today he asked one morning tying his
52:02tie by the bed her voice was calm whatever you make vincent's fingers paused a flash of soup crossed
52:09his eyes followed by a smile all right he turned and went to the kitchen the moment he was gone
52:15sophia
52:16threw back the covers and pulled a micro computer from under the mattress stolen from his study last week
52:21she had breached the island's security system an encrypted distress signal was sent three nights
52:27later sophia stood on the edge of a cliff hurried footsteps came from behind a wave sounder had arrived
52:33with his men princess he yelled rushing toward her come with me sophia granced back at the guards
52:41chasing them and suddenly smiled alexander are you afraid of heights before he could react sophia
52:47grabbed his hand and jumped off the cliff soaked to the bone sophia and alexander struggled onto a small
52:54hidden shore let's go alexander pulled her toward a waiting speed boat just then a blinding spotlight hit
53:02then vincent stood on the shore flanked by dozens of guards done running his voice was ice sophia shielded
53:10alexander with her body vincent let him go vincent stared at her then smiled faintly i can
53:19but you have to stay before sophia could enter a loud grumbling came from the cliff above a giant
53:28boulder had come loose tumbling straight toward them watch out vincent lunged shoving both of them out of
53:35the way the boulder crashed down on his legs blood instantly stayed the sea water red the impact threw
53:42sophia to the ground and her head hit a rock her vision blackened but she forced her eyes open she
53:49saw vincent lying in a pool of blood his face chan his gaze locked on her sophia are you okay
53:57sophia's mouth
53:58opened vincent let me go but her vision went dark when vincent woke up the first thing he felt was
54:08a
54:08deep numbness in his legs the doctor stood by his bed his voice low mr marcelli your spinal nerves are
54:16damaged your lower body's motor functions might be he didn't finish but the meaning was clear marco's
54:24eyes were red i'll go tell miss sophia if she knows you did this to save her shut up shut
54:31up vincent
54:32cut him off coldly no one says a word he turned to look out the window the sunlight stinging his
54:39eyes
54:39he remembered the last thing he saw sophia lying on the ground hell forcing out the words vincent let me
54:47go in that moment he finally understood a pain worse than death some mistakes once made truly meant
54:55losing the one you love forever one month later vincent sat in his wheelchair watching the news

55:09screen sophia was in a wedding dress her smile brilliant she used to smile at him like that before

55:21sitting in the ruins of the burned down mansion sir a package for you vincent took it it was a
