Short filmTranscript
00:00In my last life, Vincent Beaufort's childhood sweetheart slipped a sterilization drug into my champagne.
00:06Together, they destroyed me and everyone I loved.
00:09This life, I made sure Vincent drank it instead.
00:12I dissolved our engagement.
00:14I married Marco Don, the most powerful mafia boss in Sicily.
00:19I had a nightmare. I dreamed you died. I couldn't protect you.
00:23It was only a dream. Now we make them pay. Together.
00:27On my wedding day, Leah slipped a sterilization drug into my champagne.
00:32We caught her.
00:34I was only joking. I never thought Sophia would actually drink it. I'm so sorry.
00:41I'll make it up to you. I'll move into the villa.
00:45I'll have Vincent's children. You can raise them as your own.
00:50He rested his hand on my shoulder.
00:51Sophia, you're my wife. The future Mrs. Beaufield. You should be more gracious.
00:57You don't need to worry about children. Leah will carry them for you.
01:00She's willing to suffer through that. What more could you possibly want?
01:04And so I became Vincent's wife, unable to have children of my own.
01:09Leah and Vincent lived happily in that villa.
01:11She gave him two sons and two daughters.
01:14After a while, no one in the family remembered my last name.
01:17They only knew me as Sophia. I was trapped in that house, fading away.
01:23In the end, Vincent and Leah stood at my bedside. Both held a cup. Both smiled at me gently.
01:28Darling, you've had a long road. Long enough.
01:31If it weren't for your father's organization backing Vincent, you never would have become his wife.
01:37Sophia, the day after tomorrow I'll be named heir. The heir's wife can only be Lita.
01:42If you're still alive, what does that make her?
01:44They forced the poison down my throat. The day I died, Vincent was appointed head of the Beaufort family.
01:50Then I opened my eyes. I was back. Back to the wedding day.
01:54A server approached me. A tray in hand. Two glasses of champagne.
01:58I remembered which one I had chosen in my last life. The one closest to me. The one Leah had
02:03drugged.
02:04I picked up both glasses at once.
02:06The priest had spoken of something earlier. The old Sicilian custom.
02:09In families like ours, the couple exchanges glasses at the wedding toast.
02:14Your blood is mine. Mine is yours. For life.
02:17I had noticed the elders nodding when the priest mentioned it.
02:20I lifted both glasses and turned to Vincent.
02:23Let's do it the old way.
02:26Like the priest said.
02:28Every elder in the room smiled and nodded.
02:31Vincent had no choice but to accept the glass I offered him.
02:34The glass Leah had drugged.
02:36We stood in the center of the ballroom. Every guest raised their glass.
02:40We drank. Then the doors burst open.
02:43A girl in expensive clothes ran in.
02:45She saw the empty glass in my hand.
02:47She screamed.
02:51Oh no. You actually drank it.
02:54She stared at the empty glass in my hand.
02:56She covered her mouth in exaggerated shock.
02:59Instant tears.
03:00Then she looked at Vincent in horror.
03:02Darling, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen.
03:05I just wanted to play a small joke.
03:08Everyone jokes at weddings, don't they?
03:09I only put a little something in her glass.
03:11I swear I was going to stop her.
03:13But I got stuck in traffic. I arrived too late.
03:16My voice trembled.
03:18Who are you?
03:20Why did you put something in my drink?
03:22Leah said nothing.
03:23She looked at Vincent pitifully.
03:25Someone in the crowd spoke up.
03:27Miss Leah.
03:28You and Vincent may have grown up together.
03:30But this is his wedding.
03:32How could you do something?
03:33Vincent stepped in front of Leah, shielding her.
03:36He frowned at me.
03:37Sophia, Leah is my nanny's daughter.
03:38She grew up with me.
03:40She's impulsive.
03:41Don't take it personally.
03:42He turned to Leah.
03:43His voice went flat.
03:45Didn't I tell you not to cause trouble today?
03:47What were you thinking?
03:48I ignored the look that passed between them.
03:50I kept my eyes on Leah.
03:52What did you put in my glass?
03:53Tell me.
03:54Right now.
03:56My assistant stepped forward.
03:58I'll call a doctor.
03:59Leah clutched Vincent's sleeve and started crying.
04:01It was a sterilization drug.
04:03I saw it at a pharmacy.
04:05I thought it looked interesting.
04:07I just wanted to scare her.
04:09I swear I was going to stop her.
04:11But there was traffic.
04:12I was late.
04:13I pressed my hands to my chest.
04:15I sank into a chair.
04:18A sterilization drug?
04:19You put it in my wedding campaign?
04:21Do you understand what you've done?
04:23Take her away!
04:24She sobbed.
04:25She threw herself into Vincent's arm.
04:27I didn't mean it.
04:28I didn't mean it.
04:29And besides, the drug might not even be real.
04:32What if it's fake?
04:33Is she really going to punish me for something that might not even work?
04:36Vincent held her.
04:37He looked at me.
04:38Sophia, she's young.
04:39It was a joke that went too far.
04:41She didn't want it to become this.
04:43Leah wiped her tears.
04:44I'll make it up to you.
04:45I'll move into the villa.
04:47I'll have Vincent's children.
04:49You can raise them as your own.
04:50Vincent put his hand on my shoulder.
04:52Sophia, you're my wife.
04:54The future Mrs. Bowfield.
04:55You should be more gracious.
04:57Leah will carry the children for you.
04:59She'll go through that suffering for you.
05:01What more could you possibly want?
05:04You're standing in front of me, protecting the woman who poisoned me, asking what more
05:10I could want.
05:11Don't worry.
05:12Even if you can't have children, you'll always be the future Mrs. Brofeard.
05:16The most honored person here, after me.
05:19Word for word, the same as my last life.
05:22A pity I wouldn't make the same mistake twice.
05:25The commotion had spread.
05:26Even guests at the far edges of the room knew now.
05:29Everyone was waiting to see how it would be handled.
05:33Sophia, this is a minor matter.
05:35There's no need to be so upset.
05:36He said it like I was the unreasonable one.
05:39I looked at him.
05:40Cold smile.
05:41He had been exactly this way in my last life.
05:44Telling me I was ungracious.
05:47Making a fuss over nothing.
05:49So I had swallowed it.
05:50And that patience had led to my death.
05:52And to the deaths of my family.
05:55The memory of that end sharpened inside me.
05:58I looked up at Vincent.
05:59Do you honestly think what she did is a minor matter?
06:01He was still lightly patting Leah's back.
06:04Enough.
06:06She's apologized.
06:08I'll have her copy out the house rules ten times.
06:11No more pranks.
06:12Copy out the house rules ten times.
06:15That was the price for drugging the Beaufort heir's wife on their wedding day.
06:20I almost laughed.
06:21But it didn't matter.
06:23Because this time, he was the one who drank it.
06:26A woman in the room said softly,
06:28Perhaps we should still call a doctor.
06:30There might be some way to reverse it.
06:32Leah shook her head.
06:33No.
06:34Calling a doctor on a wedding day is bad luck.
06:37Vincent laughed.
06:39Leah's right.
06:41We can find a doctor tomorrow.
06:43There's no rush.
06:44My assistant lost her composure.
06:46Sir, Sophia is your wife.
06:48She's been poisoned.
06:49You're gonna wait until tomorrow?
06:51Miss, let's tell Mr. and Mrs. Garrett.
06:54Let them handle this for you.
06:56I looked at Vincent one last time.
06:58You're really not gonna hold her accountable?
07:00I told you Leah's joke went too far.
07:03She'll give us children and you'll raise them.
07:05That's fair.
07:06If you don't want to be my wife, leave right now.
07:08There are plenty of women who want to marry me.
07:10None of them are this much trouble.
07:12I smiled.
07:13I ran one finger slowly along the rim of my glass.
07:17You think I'm making a scene?
07:19Everything I did, I did for you, Vincent.
07:22Because the person who just drank that glass
07:26was you.
07:26The room went silent.
07:28Vincent's face drained of color.
07:31What are you talking about?
07:32I pointed to his glass.
07:34There was still a faint residue of powder along the rim.
07:37Obviously, once you look.
07:39Leah had been in too much of a hurry.
07:41She hadn't thought twice about the glass
07:42she pressed into my hand during the toast
07:44because everyone had seen me receive it.
07:47The old custom had made it look like romance.
07:49Only Leah knew it was supposed to be poison.
07:52She snatched up the glass.
07:54She turned to Vincent.
07:54Did you drink from this?
07:56His face went dark.
07:58Leah screamed.
07:58She pointed at me.
07:59You!
08:00You did this on purpose!
08:02That glass was meant for you!
08:04Why did you give it to him?
08:05You switched them deliberately!
08:07You wanted to hurt him!
08:08In front of every elder in that room,
08:10every man and woman who had watched us
08:13exchange glasses and nodded their approval,
08:16she was accusing me of violating a wedding custom
08:19she herself had exploited.
08:21She had no ground left to stand on.
08:24That glass had been meant for me.
08:26She had placed it closer to my side on purpose.
08:29In my last life, I drank it.
08:31It left me unable to have children.
08:33I watched them together.
08:34Watched her give him son after son,
08:37daughter after daughter.
08:38My family bled for the Beaufort family's rise.
08:41My father and brother were pulled into gang warfare,
08:44killed for Vincent's sake.
08:46He used everything the Gerard family had.
08:49When I had no more value, he poisoned me.
08:52This time, the drug Leah had chosen for me was in his hands.
08:55I wanted to see whether he would be as gracious as he had demanded I be.
09:00I looked at Leah.
09:01Do you understand what this means?
09:04The Beaufort heir has lost the ability to continue his bloodline.
09:07This isn't a joke.
09:09Mr. Beaufort will not be lenient.
09:11Not with you.
09:12Not with your family.
09:13Leah screamed.
09:14I never meant to hurt him.
09:16That drug was meant for you.
09:18I stepped forward and slapped her across the face.
09:21The sound rang through the room.
09:23You drug the godfather's wife?
09:25That is just as vicious as drugging the Beaufort heir.
09:28Do you understand what happens next?
09:30Vincent collapsed into a chair.
09:33Call a doctor!
09:35Now!
09:36Let a look of hesitation cross my face.
09:38But Vincent, didn't you say calling a doctor on a wedding day is bad luck?
09:44Shouldn't we wait until tomorrow?
09:46My assistant had gone pale.
09:48Seize Leah!
09:49This is an attempt at the heir's life!
09:51The bodyguards grabbed Leah.
09:52She glared at me with hatred.
09:55The ballroom erupted.
09:58A doctor came running.
09:59My parents and brother arrived.
10:01They had heard on the way.
10:02I saw my mother.
10:03I walked straight into her arms.
10:07Father, mother, she did this.
10:08She put a sterilization drug in my champagne.
10:12Vincent defended her.
10:13He told me I was being ungracious.
10:16That I didn't deserve to be his wife.
10:19I started to cry.
10:20Holding her felt so good.
10:21She was still here.
10:23My brother was still here.
10:24This time, I would protect them.
10:26I would not let Vincent take them from me.
10:29My brother's voice went ice cold.
10:31Gracious?
10:32She was poisoned and you told her to be gracious?
10:34Vinata, you demanded my sister show grace while she was being drugged?
10:37Now that you've drunk it yourself, can you manage that same grace?
10:39Sophia is a Gerard.
10:41A Nersi's daughter drugs her at her own wedding?
10:43And you expect her to forgive it?
10:44The Gerard family will not allow this.
10:48Vincent, please.
10:50I never wanted to hurt you.
10:52It was Sophia.
10:53She switched the glasses.
10:54She did this to you.
10:55The doctor straightened up.
10:56He shook his head.
10:57Regardless of where this drug came from, the dosage is severe.
11:00Whoever prepared it used the maximum amount.
11:03The effects cannot be reversed.
11:04He will not be able to have children.
11:07Leah had always intended to make sure I could never have children.
11:11Of course she had used the highest dose.
11:14There was no antidote.
11:15No recovery.
11:16Vincent's face went white.
11:17He nearly fell.
11:19His hands shot out and gripped the back of a chair.
11:21Knuckles bloodless.
11:22Jaw locked.
11:23A man watching his entire future collapse in a single sentence.
11:28Without an heir, he had no successor.
11:30Mr. Beaufort was still young.
11:32He could have other sons.
11:33He could choose a new heir.
11:35Vincent would lose all chance of inheriting.
11:38Even if Mr. Beaufort had already decided he was next.
11:42Vincent's eyes went red.
11:43I'll kill her!
11:44Then he grabbed my arm.
11:45Sophia, at least I still have you.
11:48I pulled free.
11:50You just told me that if I didn't want to be your wife, I could leave immediately.
11:56I'm leaving.
11:58Whatever trouble Leah has caused, I won't pay for it.
12:01Do you think the Gerard family is something you can push around?
12:06My brother stepped in front of me.
12:08That's right.
12:09Vincent, when Sophia was poisoned, you defended Leah.
12:12You told my sister she wasn't being gracious enough.
12:15Now it's your turn.
12:16Show some of that grace.
12:19You're the Beauheart heir.
12:20Act like it.
12:21Vincent's face flushed, dark red.
12:24Then Donna Beaufort's voice cut through the hall.
12:26She came rushing.
12:27My son.
12:28What happened?
12:29My assistant told Donna everything.
12:32Full account.
12:33Nothing left out.
12:34Donna's expression went rigid.
12:36You dared to harm my son!
12:38Take her to the cellar!
12:40She doesn't leave this house.
12:42From outside came the sound of the nanny wailing, begging for her daughter's life.
12:47Please!
12:48I've given this family so many years!
12:51Give Leah a chance to live!
12:54Leah sobbing grew louder.
12:55Vincent, please!
12:57We grew up together!
12:59I would never hurt you!
13:01It was Sophia!
13:01She switched the glasses!
13:03She did this!
13:04As Vincent stood there, torn, furious at Leah, unable to bear watching her cry, Donna raised
13:10her voice.
13:11Take her out.
13:12A nanny's daughter thinks she can be with my son?
13:16The bodyguards dragged Leah toward the door.
13:18You can't touch me!
13:19I'm carrying his child!
13:21Two months!
13:23The baby is his!
13:25Please!
13:26Everyone froze.
13:27Vincent pushed everyone aside.
13:29He grabbed her.
13:31What did you say?
13:33Leah threw herself into his arms, crying.
13:36I'm pregnant!
13:37Two months!
13:38It's yours!
13:38You told me you only ever wanted me to carry your children!
13:41That's why I did this!
13:42I couldn't stand the thought of another woman having your baby!
13:44I love you!
13:45Everything I did was because I love you!
13:47She had committed a crime worthy of death.
13:50And yet Vincent could no longer have children.
13:52She was the only one who could give him an heir.
13:55Even Donna didn't dare move against her carelessly.
13:58Vincent turned to his mother.
13:59She's carrying my child.
14:01She's my only hope.
14:03You can't kill her.
14:06Donna gestured.
14:07The doctor stepped forward.
14:08Quick check.
14:09Confirmed.
14:10Two months pregnant.
14:10Donna sighed.
14:12She looked at me.
14:13Sophia, given the circumstances,
14:14Leah must become part of the Boneherd family.
14:16If you agree, you would become the child's legal mother
14:18and raise it yourself.
14:20What do you think?
14:21I refused.
14:23I'm sorry, Mrs. Buford.
14:25Vincent and I haven't completed the wedding ceremony.
14:27We're not yet husband and wife.
14:29Vincent and Leah love each other.
14:31That's how this happens.
14:32She's carrying the only heir this family has.
14:34I won't stand between them.
14:36That child deserves to be born legitimate.
14:39Have him marry Leah.
14:40I want to dissolve the engagement.
14:42Vincent stared at me like he didn't recognize me.
14:44Sophia, you want to end things because I can't give you children?
14:48Is that it?
14:49Every time everyone believed I had drunk that glass, you stood by her.
14:53You never once put me first.
14:55Now she's carrying your only heir.
14:58Tell me honestly, isn't this exactly what you wanted?
15:00No.
15:02We made vows.
15:03You're my wife.
15:04I won't let you go.
15:05My father stepped between us.
15:07Vanessa, I gave you my daughter.
15:08And before you've even married her, you've already fathered a child with another woman.
15:11Your only heir will be born to a nanny's daughter, not to the Beaufort matriarch.
15:14Tell me, what does that leave the Gerard family's reputation?
15:17I kept my expression blank.
15:19If you want me to stay, there's one condition.
15:21Leah leaves permanently and the child stays here, raised by the Benfold family.
15:25If she keeps the child and remains under this roof, I walk.
15:27I won't live in a house where every child belongs to her.
15:32You decide, Vincent.
15:34Vincent staggered backward as if I had hit him.
15:36You can't say that.
15:37That's my only child.
15:38How could you ask this of me?
15:40I looked at him steadily.
15:40Why couldn't I?
15:42You want your hair.
15:43I want my family's dignity.
15:45And ask yourself, who caused all of this?
15:48Vincent had nothing to say.
15:50He sank to the floor.
15:51The Gerard family was not a small operation.
15:54Our organization held nearly half the territory in this region.
15:58Even the Beaufort godfather couldn't cross us.
16:00Donna looked at her son with barely concealed contempt.
16:03Then, in front of everyone, she dissolved the engagement herself.
16:07The media reported it that same day.
16:09The news spread worldwide.
16:11The Beaufort heir had been drugged by his own childhood sweetheart and left sterile.
16:16The Gerard family had canceled the engagement.
16:19Mr. Beaufort was furious.
16:22He tore into Vincent.
16:23Afterward, Donna found him alone.
16:25Do you have any idea how hard I worked to secure the Gerard alliance?
16:29And you threw it away for a nanny's daughter!
16:32I've locked the nanny and Leah in the basement.
16:34After Leah delivers, I'll handle the rest.
16:36You have to marry Sophia.
16:38She's a Gerard.
16:39If she marries into another family, the Jards will back someone else.
16:42We'll be finished.
16:45The Gerard family was the most powerful mafia family in the region.
16:49Every organization wanted ties with us.
16:52Vincent returned to the villa.
16:53The moment he walked in, Leah ran to him.
16:56It's my fault you were criticized.
16:58Take it out on me.
16:59I was scared.
17:00Scared you'd fall for so for yet me.
17:02But I never expected Sophia to use the old custom to switch the glasses.
17:06She must have planned the whole thing from the beginning.
17:08Something cold passed through Vincent's eyes.
17:10She wasn't wrong.
17:11If Sophia hadn't switched the glasses, none of this would have happened to him.
17:16He turned over what Donna had said.
17:17The Gerard daughter couldn't marry anyone else.
17:20If the Gerards aligned with another family, the Beauforts were done.
17:24In a study across the city, a different man was also watching the news.
17:28Edward Voss set down his glass slowly.
17:31So, the Beauforts had lost the Gerards.
17:34And Sophia Gerard was now free.
17:36He picked up the phone.
17:37I went home with my parents and brother.
17:39My father's expression was serious.
17:41The engagement is broken.
17:43The Beaufort family won't let this go quietly.
17:45Other families will come forward with proposals.
17:47My mother was upset.
17:48My daughter has become a bargling chip.
17:50Whoever marries her, we stand by her side.
17:53No matter who it is.
17:54In my last life, my father and brother died in gang warfare.
17:58Vincent had worked behind the scenes.
18:00Forged documents.
18:01Spread rumors that they had betrayed the Beaufort family.
18:05Loyalty and honor mean everything.
18:07In this world.
18:08Every organization believed the lie.
18:11Every one of them turned on my family.
18:13Only one person hadn't.
18:15Marco Don.
18:16He was the godfather of the largest mafia family in Sicily.
18:20Ancient lineage.
18:21Secrets buried deep.
18:23His father had many sons.
18:25Marco was illegitimate.
18:26Never meant to inherit.
18:27But he outlasted every one of his brothers.
18:30His father had no choice but to name him the next godfather.
18:34In my last life, when every other family hunted my father and brother down, Marco had refused.
18:41He had saved my mother.
18:42My assistant told me afterward.
18:44I thought of something else.
18:45A year ago, at the Voss family gathering, I had noticed a man watching me.
18:50Quiet.
18:51Still.
18:51His gaze had a weight to it.
18:53Not like someone seeing me for the first time.
18:55But like someone who recognized me.
18:58I hadn't known who he was then.
18:59I know now.
19:00I looked up at my father and brother.
19:04I want to marry Marco.
19:06The room went quiet.
19:07Then my father burst out laughing.
19:09I helped that boy once.
19:10He was very small.
19:11The godfather hadn't taken him in yet.
19:13He was living on the streets.
19:14Some local thugs were bullying him.
19:15I gave him a little money.
19:16Took him to a doctor.
19:17His eye still scarred over.
19:19He told me he'd repay me when he grew up.
19:21I thought he was just a stray kid.
19:22I didn't think much of it.
19:23Not until three years ago, when he became the Don family's godfather.
19:26I saw that scar beside his eye.
19:28And I remembered.
19:29So my father and Marco had a history like that.
19:31My mother looked worried.
19:33Marco is dangerous, Sophia.
19:36He carries too many secrets.
19:39She gripped my hand.
19:40Knuckles tight.
19:41Are you sure you want to go into that world?
19:43In my last life, Marco had been the only one who helped my family.
19:47He wasn't as bloodthirsty as the rumors said.
19:50He was someone who repaid his debts.
19:52My brother seemed to remember something.
19:54I met him a year ago at a Voss family gathering.
19:56He asked me whether you were still single.
19:59He barely spoke to anyone else the whole evening.
20:01But he asked about you.
20:03My father made up his mind.
20:05I'll go to Sicily tomorrow.
20:06But the next morning, before dawn, a line of black cars pulled up to the villa gate.
20:12Bodyguards unloaded one black case after another.
20:15They were from the Voss family.
20:17Edward Voss was here to propose.
20:19Vincent had gotten wind of it.
20:21He appeared almost immediately.
20:23Edward, Sophia is my fiancé.
20:26What do you think you're doing?
20:27The news about your broken agreement was in the press yesterday.
20:31The whole world knows.
20:32Since you and she no longer have an agreement, why shouldn't I pursue Sophia?
20:36He looked at me, still smiling.
20:39Miss Sophia has everything a man could want.
20:42Elegant.
20:43Intelligent.
20:43Born into the powerful Gerard family.
20:47Just because you didn't know how to appreciate her doesn't mean no one else does.
20:50He took my hand and pressed his lips to the back of it.
20:53My skin crawled.
20:55I pulled my hand away the moment he released it.
20:57Quietly wiped it on my sleeve.
20:59Vincent gave a cold laugh.
21:01What you need is the Gerard family's backing to secure your inheritance in the Voss family.
21:05Drop the act.
21:06Sophia is still my wife.
21:08I'll bring her home.
21:09Stop wasting everyone's time.
21:10My father and brother looked tense.
21:12My mother held my arm.
21:14Vinitza, I'm asking you to leave.
21:16Right now.
21:17I had never imagined Vincent could be this shameless.
21:20I was disgusted with myself forever having liked him.
21:23Then came the sound overhead.
21:24Low.
21:25Thundering.
21:26A helicopter.
21:27That's the Don family insignia.
21:29Everyone looked up.
21:30The door of the helicopter opened.
21:32A young, handsome man stood at the edge of the hatch.
21:35Marco Don.
21:36Vincent's and Edward's faces fell.
21:38It wasn't hard to guess why Marco had come.
21:40Same reason as them.
21:42Against the Don family, they had no chance.
21:45The helicopter touched down on the villa's helipad.
21:47Marco stepped out alone.
21:49He didn't look at Vincent or Edward.
21:50He didn't look at the bodyguards.
21:52He simply raised one hand.
21:54A small, unhurried gesture.
21:56And every armed man on that lawn took two steps back in unison, without being told.
22:02My father and brother went to meet him.
22:04Mr. Don.
22:05Marco shook hands with each of them.
22:06Then he turned to look at me.
22:08His gaze was focused.
22:09Warm.
22:10There was something in it that reminded me of what my brother had said.
22:13He asked about you.
22:15Like a man confirming something he already knew.
22:17He walked to me.
22:19He took my hand.
22:20The hand Edward had just kissed.
22:21He ran his thumb lightly across the back of it.
22:24Then he bent and kissed it properly.
22:27Good morning, Miss Gerard.
22:29His tone was familiar.
22:30As if we had known each other for a long time.
22:33He looked over at Vincent and Edward then.
22:35As if he had only just noticed them.
22:37Are you two here to congratulate me and Miss Gerard on our engagement?
22:40The journalists do move fast.
22:42Standing beside him, I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time.
22:47Safe.
22:48Vincent's jaw tightened.
22:49When did you get involved with Sophia?
22:51Margo smiled.
22:52Marriage isn't just about two people.
22:53It's about families.
22:55Mr. Gerard is someone I owe a great debt.
22:57It's an honor to ask for his daughter's hand.
22:59Sophia has already agreed.
23:01I came today to make our engagement official.
23:03Vincent stepped forward.
23:04That's impossible.
23:05She agreed?
23:06She doesn't even know you.
23:07She could never like someone like you.
23:10A man with blood on his hands.
23:12Margo's expression shifted.
23:14I stepped out in front of him.
23:15Between him and Vincent.
23:17Vanessa, watch how you speak.
23:19You're talking to the godfather of the Don family.
23:21And you?
23:22You're nothing but a man who lost his heir, his fiancé, and his family's most powerful alliance in a single
23:27afternoon.
23:27Vincent looked at me like I had become a stranger.
23:30Sophia, you don't really mean that.
23:31I'll fix everything.
23:32Come back.
23:33I looked at him.
23:34I gave you a chance to stand beside me.
23:36You chose not to take it.
23:38Vincent, you're disgusting.
23:41Vincent seemed to think of something.
23:42He suddenly smiled.
23:44Sophia, you planned this from the beginning.
23:46No wonder you kept pushing to dissolve the engagement.
23:49You had been in contact with this man while you were still engaged to me.
23:53You were with another man behind my back.
23:55He looked at my family.
23:57And this is what you call the Gerard family's honor?
23:59Anger rose in my chest.
24:01Before I could speak, Marco's voice came quietly from behind me.
24:05Choose your words carefully.
24:07This was low, quiet.
24:09The kind of quiet that makes a room go still.
24:11A woman's reputation is not yours to use as a weapon.
24:13Not every woman is like Leah.
24:15A man with any decency doesn't weaponize his private failures to tear down someone else.
24:19You chose a woman who drugged the bride at your own wedding.
24:22That's your business.
24:22But my wife is nothing like that.
24:24I will not allow anyone to speak of her that way.
24:27Especially not you.
