Short filmTranscript
00:03I'd been with Luca Russo for six years. Suddenly, he handed me a contract. I had thought that was
00:08a prenup. I was ready to sign. But what I saw was... Missed disagreement. Three years. On call
00:1424-7. Renew if satisfied. My finger trembled. Luca, what does this mean? Luca leaned back on
00:21the sofa, smoking a cigar. He looked at me with cold eyes. My father is pushing hard. He chose a
00:26marriage alliance for me. Serena, the daughter of the Vitoli family. They hold the entire Adriatic
00:31arms line, and I need that. My voice trembled. And what about me? Luca looked up, sneered.
00:37Tesoro, give me a break. Your dad had left you with gambling debts, and I had paid for his care.
00:43Your ex stole your identity and left you with thugs. My men threw them into the Hudson River.
00:48I'm just asking you to be my secret lover. Is that too much? I looked at the sharp black text
00:53written on paper. Party B must be on call 24-7. Party B shall not appear at any family events
00:59or
00:59social gatherings. If Party B gets pregnant, she must handle it herself. The Russo family will not
01:04acknowledge the child. I stared at the last one, and my hand instinctively touched my belly. My
01:09fingers were ice cold. Sign it. Luca flicked the ash from the cigar. Why are you just staring at it?
01:16I put down the contract. My voice trembled. Luca, we've been together for six years. He laughed.
01:24So what? Did we ever plan on getting married? Those words stabbed me like a knife. For six years,
01:29he took me to every gala, and all the unmarried women looked at me with calculating eyes. But he
01:34always introduced me as his assistant. His mother, Rosa, had implied more than once,
01:39Mia cara, you should find a good man to marry. I thought she was teasing us. Now I realized she
01:45was
01:45politely telling me to get out. What were these six years to you?
01:51Luca crushed the cigar and walked to me. It was a fair trade. I supported you for six years. I
01:58paid
01:58for your dad's nursing home. I cleared your ex's debt. I gave you a job. You've managed the Russo
02:02family's accounts for six years. If you leave, who would dare to hire you? He paused, then smiled.
02:08Tezora, be reasonable. You didn't hesitate to use me when you were in trouble. Now I'm using you.
02:14It's just business. I felt my eyes burn, but I didn't shed a single drop of tears. He never
02:19mentioned these things, though I knew he was telling the truth. He was right. My father was
02:24a loser. He walked out on us to gamble, then spent over a decade rotting away before showing up at
02:29my
02:29door with broken legs. I was soft, so I took him in. As for my ex, we only dated for
02:35a month. I didn't
02:36even know he used my identity to get a loan until three men with machetes showed up at my door.
02:41It was Luca's men who came and cleared the trouble. I knew I owed him, but I never thought
02:46he was keeping a ledger of every cent. So, I pushed his hand away. There was no love?
02:50Only investment? Luca laughed. Don't be silly. You call this an investment? I've got nothing back
02:57from you, haven't I? Luca dropped a black card on the table. Sign, and it's yours. In three years,
03:03if you want to stay, we will renew. If not, keep the money. 500k, enough to buy 10 lives,
03:08but not enough to buy me. I wanted to say something, but it was caught in my throat
03:13because I remembered the nursing home's call. If I don't pay, they'll kick my father out.
03:18Luca knew I needed money, so he just dropped that card in front of me, like feeding a treat
03:22to a dog. Is it not enough? I get it. Six years for 500k isn't much, but that's mistress money,
03:30not girlfriend money. As of now, this is exactly what you're worth.
03:33He paused again and smiled. Of course, you can refuse. But then...
03:41But then, you need to move out of this apartment. My heart felt like it was being crushed.
03:45Over the past six years, I have treated this place as my home. I planted the roses on the
03:50balcony myself. In the kitchen, my favorite vinegar always sat next to his jar of olives.
03:55Our travel photos are still on the nightstand, but in the end, I was just a tenant who could
03:59be kicked out at any time. Luca, my voice was still trembling. If you don't love me,
04:04let's say goodbye. You don't have to humiliate me like this.
04:08Love? He crushed the cigar, leaned in, put his hands on either side of the armrest.
04:13Did your father love you? Did your ex love you? Does anyone in this world truly care about you?
04:19He whispered, looked into my eyes. I paid your debts. I protected you. I can't give you a marriage,
04:26but I'm giving you a way to survive. My tears fell eventually, because at some point,
04:31I realized he's right. He handed me the pen, clearly running out of patience.
04:35Well, are you signing it or not? I opened my mouth. I looked at the pregnancy rule again.
04:40I swallowed my words. If my mother and I had planned to get married early next month,
04:44would you still have made me sign this? Married? He laughed. Planned with whom?
04:49Your drowned mother? Even without these changes, I never planned to marry you.
04:55You have quite an imagination. I closed my eyes. Six years. This marriage was never meant to be.
05:01I opened my eyes and picked up the pen. I signed my name on the last page, Vittoria DeLuca. My
05:07hands
05:07had stopped trembling. Luca collected the contract. Good girl. Everything stays the same.
05:14But from now on, in public, you call me Mr. Russo. He kissed my forehead coldly. Be good.
05:21Luca left. The door closed. He was gone. I looked down at the black card in my hand. I slowly
05:27squatted
05:27down on the floor, burying my face in my knees. I didn't know how long I'd been sitting here.
05:32My legs were numb, and my tears had finally dried up. I stood up unsteadily and walked into the
05:37bathroom. I turned on the faucet and splashed cold water on my face repeatedly, until I finally calmed
05:43down. I picked up my phone and made a call. Mom. You were right. I've lost. That thing you mentioned
05:49before? Get it started. I'm ready. The person on the other end paused. Are you sure? There's no
05:55turning back. I looked out at the cathedral. The bells were tolling like a funeral. It's Ave Maria.
06:01I'm sure. The next morning, I went to the nursing home. My father was in a wheelchair, being pushed
06:09into the yard by a nurse. He looked very old, like a hollow tree. His hair was completely white.
06:15Both his legs were gone. They had been crushed by a van six years ago. His lips trembled. Something lit
06:22up in his murky eyes. I handed him that black card. There's 500k euros in here. It's enough for the
06:28best care and the best nurses. From today on, I won't see you again. Where are you going? I'm
06:35going back to her with a clean slate. I took out a photo and put it in his hand. It's
06:41a photo of my
06:41mom when she was young, wearing a white dress, standing in a lemon grove, smiling brightly.
06:48She asked me to give you a message. I said, what message? La morte è troppo buona per te. He
06:54burst
06:54into tears, touching the photo with shaking hands. He had thought she had committed suicide. He had
06:59no idea she was actually alive, but he didn't know she was alive. She was saved by the Moretti family.
07:05It had all been a play she had staged to fake her death. She waited six years for me. She
07:11waited for
07:11me to lose everything, to wake up, and to finally call her. I turned to leave, but I stopped at
07:17the
07:17corner. Dad, that car back then, was it your doing? The air went silent. He opened his mouth,
07:24then closed it. Tears streamed down his wrinkled face. No, Vittoria, really no. I didn't know that
07:32car was coming. I just saw it heading for you, and I... And you pushed me out of the way?
07:40Yes. I wanted to save you, even if it cost my life. I'm a deadbeat. I owe you and your
07:47mother too
07:48much. I closed my eyes. I believed him. A bastard father who abandoned his wife and daughter actually
07:54acted like a father in that moment. But that didn't mean I forgave him. That money is to pay you
08:00back
08:00for my life. We're even now. I walked out of the nursing home. I heard him crying and laughing
08:07behind me. She's alive. She's not dead. Good. Good. Good. Go now. Don't ever come back. I didn't
08:15look back. After that, I went back to work in the casino as usual. The Russo family owned many
08:22businesses, and the casino was just one of them. All the dirty money from weapons, smuggling,
08:30and loans was laundered through those accounts. And I was the one who kept the books. Luca walked
08:36in while I was organizing the monthly statements. He looked at me with no expression. When this
08:41quarter's books are done, bring them to my office. Yes, Mr. Russo. I replied naturally. Luca paused,
08:47looking surprised. You've adapted quickly. He whispered and moved his finger across the back
08:52of my hand on purpose. I didn't move, nor react. Our relationship wasn't a secret. For six years,
08:58he picked me up from work and took me everywhere. The inner circle had always known, an unspoken truth
09:05among them. But he never officially announced us. Since we were never official, calling him
09:10Mr. Russo now actually made things look more professional to others. At night, Luca sent me
09:16a location. I took a taxi here. I opened the door to a suite. The floor was covered in rose
09:21petals.
09:22A silk nightgown was hanging on a rack. The air was thick with the scent of guerrillon. That's the brand
09:27Serena liked. Seen enough? His voice came from behind. Luca leaned against the doorframe,
09:33looking at me with a half smile. The engagement party is next week. You're coming to help.
09:41Help with what? I channeled the calmness I had spent the last few days cultivating.
09:46They hired the best planning team in Sicily for their engagement party.
09:49They didn't need an ex-girlfriend getting in the way.
09:52Hosting guests and... Serena feels you must witness our happiness.
09:58I let out a short laugh. That last part was the real reason.
10:02Fine. I will confirm the details with Mr. Russo tomorrow.
10:06If that's all, can I go? His future wife just left, so he wouldn't need me to stay.
10:12After all, a mistress was only used for one thing. He squinted at me.
10:16You aren't upset at all?
10:17Does Mr. Russo want me to be upset? He walked over and grabbed my chin.
10:21You've changed a lot lately. You've become a bit annoying.
10:24How does Mr. Russo want me to be? I can change.
10:28Years ago, he had been attracted to me because I was the closest person to him.
10:32Yet, I never asked for anything. Back then, he called it integrity. Now, he calls it annoying.
10:39It had never been me who changed. He stared at me for a long time and let go.
10:44Forget it. Go home.
10:46As I turned to leave, he suddenly hugged me from behind. He rested his chin on my shoulder,
10:51his voice muffled.
10:53Do you know why I won't let you leave?
10:54He meant the agreement.
10:56Because you are a good girl. You never make things difficult for me. You don't fight with
11:01me or ask where I've been. Not like her. She checks on me every day.
11:05He tightened his arms around me.
11:07Sometimes I think, if only you had a decent family background, I wouldn't have to marry
11:13someone else. I almost let out a laugh. In the end, he was blaming me for not having
11:18a high-class background. But he forgot that he was the one who came after me first.
11:23Mr. Russo. I gently pulled Luca's hands away.
11:27What color should I wear to the engagement party? I need to prepare in advance.
11:32His hands froze in midair. I ignored him and turned to leave.
11:36After I walked out of the hotel, I realized my palms were bleeding from my own fingernails.
11:44The day of the engagement party. It's held in Villa Ikea Royal Hotel, the most luxurious
11:49place in Switzerland. The guests were all powerful figures from the underworld.
11:53I had hidden my pregnancy report in his desk drawer. I had thought that when he found it,
11:57he would naturally propose to me.
12:00So, you are the Miyakata?
12:02I froze for a second, then nodded.
12:04Luca mentioned you. He said you've been with him for many years and you're very capable.
12:08Oh, by the way, we've chosen a new wedding house near the apartment. It won't be convenient
12:12for you to stay there anymore. You should look for a new place.
12:14Okay. I'll take care of it.
12:17Suddenly, Serena grabbed the champagne glass next to my hand and poured it over her white
12:21wedding dress.
12:23You- How could you throw wine on me?
12:25A loud slap hit my face. Everyone looked over. Luca walked up, frowning.
12:30What happened?
12:31Luca! I was just kindly telling her that you won't be living in the apartment anymore,
12:35and she threw wine at me!
12:37I-I didn't-
12:38Are you saying she poured it on herself just to hit you?
12:41No one would believe a bride would ruin her own dress at her own engagement party.
12:45Don't make this difficult for me. You know what day it is. Apologize or don't come to work
12:50tomorrow.
12:50He looked at me. Six years ago, he had picked me up from the rain. Six years later, he held
12:56the person who bullied me and demanded I apologize.
12:59I'm sorry. I shouldn't have poured the wine on you.
13:02It's just a misunderstanding. Please go back to the party.
13:07Yes, it was embarrassing. But the most embarrassing part was that the man I loved for six years
13:12found me guilty without even asking questions. I took out my phone and sent a message. Mom,
13:17I want to end this now.
13:20I walked out of the bathroom, having already schooled my face into a blank mask, come to
13:25room 306 on the third floor. It was from Luca. Since I signed that agreement, he only wanted
13:32me for one thing. But today was his engagement party. He had just finished toasting every guest
13:39with his fiance. And now he wanted me in a private room? What was I to him? Or did he
13:45find it more
13:46exciting because of the occasion? Another message popped up. It didn't matter anyway. After this
13:53night, everything would be over. The door to room 306 was ajar. Mr. Russo? I told you I wasn't
14:01available these few days. Suddenly, the door slammed shut. A man smelling of heavy alcohol appeared.
14:07I knew him. Tony Bianchi, also known as the king. He was the top thug for the Vitale family.
14:14A man with blood on his hands.
14:16Oh, you're here?
14:19He was grinning, bearing yellow stained teeth. Russo said some woman messed up today.
14:25Sent her here for me to teach a lesson. Didn't expect you'd be this fiery.
14:28Tony lunged at me. I backed away but knocked over the coffee table. He grabbed my wrist in a tight
14:33grip.
14:34Let go of me! Scream all you want. Tonight, you belong to me.
14:40He ripped open my collar in a brutal motion. Infuriated, Tony swung his arm and slapped me hard
14:45across the cheek. Tony swore coarsely and crawled over me, his hands squeezing my neck tightly.
14:51At this moment, the door was kicked open with a thunderous crash.
14:55The tip was right! They're caught in the act! Keep taking pictures!
14:57Mr. Rosso's ex-girlfriend can't stay lonely! Caught in bed at the engagement party!
15:02Trying desperately to hide myself with my torn clothes.
15:06I saw them clearly. In the hallway, Luca had Serena in his arms, turning away.
15:11Tears slid down the corners of my eyes and into my hair.
15:14Oh my god! What's that? Blood? There's so much blood!
15:16Call an ambulance!
15:17I looked down. Beneath my skirt, bright red blood was winding down my thighs.
15:22My vision started to blur. Again and again. Like the lights of Judgment Day.
15:29A black maybox slowly drove out of the Villa Ikea Royal Hotel.
15:34Who did this? It's so shameless! If my father hadn't called us, I would have gone to that room
15:38to see for myself.
15:39Luca kept his eyes closed. His mind was filled with the image of me standing at the desk.
15:44He even started to find the woman beside him annoying.
15:46Don't get too interested in other people's business.
15:49Suddenly, his phone vibrated. His assistant...
15:53Boss, you need to come back to the hotel immediately. Someone... someone is dying.
15:57Then call the police. Why call me? I'm not a cop.
15:59But boss...
16:00He hung up.
16:02Who was that?
16:03Marco. He's making a fuss out of nothing. He said someone died at the hotel.
16:08Luca's phone vibrated again. He ignored it. Serena pulled his sleeve.
16:12You really not going back to check it out?
16:14There's nothing to see.
16:15Tori is still in the hall cleaning up. Do you think she'd do something crazy because
16:19I slapped her?
16:21Serena, why the sudden care?
16:23It's not that. She's your ex-girlfriend. If something happens to her because of me,
16:26the media will go crazy. I won't know what to tell your father.
16:29Then why did you insist on her coming today?
16:31I just wanted her to give up on you for good. Who knew she'd actually throw wine at me?
16:35Don't worry. She'll be fine. She had survived much harder days.
16:38Six years ago, she had been scammed by an ex. Had been hounded by her father for money.
16:43She survived all of that. Today was just a slap. She might cry, but she'll be at work tomorrow.
16:48She needed this job. And she needed him. Luca rolled down the car window and lit a cigarette.
16:53Serena watched his face. Luca's phone vibrated again.
16:56Is this Mr. Luca Russo? Your partner is in critical condition.
16:59My partner is sitting right next to me. Are you trying to scam me? You've got a death wish.
17:04But in this lady's phone, you are saved as husband. Get lost.
17:08He hung up and blocked the number. His anger came out of nowhere.
17:12He lit another cigarette to calm down. Then, he sent a message to Tori.
17:16We had lived in that apartment for six years. It was in the heart of Palermo, right next to the
17:21theater.
17:22Every morning, you could see the sun rising over the sea.
17:25Serena wanted to renovate this place for the wedding, but he refused.
17:29The message had been sent, but with no reply. He didn't mind.
17:32Besides, she was humiliated today. She had the right to be upset.
17:36He stayed late in the Vitale family's house. It was already 2 in the morning when he arrived at the
17:41apartment.
17:42When he climbed the stairs, he was thinking, should he go easy on her when he sees her?
17:46After all, Serena's slap was out of line. He didn't help Tori, but he knew the truth.
17:52Tori always knew her place, but that was his engagement party.
17:56If he didn't support his future wife, the Vitale family would find him weak,
17:59and the alliance he had sacrificed so much for would crumble.
18:02Once he controlled the Adriatic weapon lines, he wouldn't be afraid of the Vitales anymore.
18:07Then, no one could tell him who to marry.
18:09He opened the door. It seemed nothing had changed, but the apartment was empty.
18:13He found a black suitcase in the corner. He opened it, and her things were in it.
18:18It turned out she had already packed everything.
18:20She was just waiting for the final step.
18:23Luca felt a surge of anger, so she was planning to leave him without even saying goodbye.
18:28Tori, don't forget you signed that agreement!
18:29He stormed into the study, looking for the contract, only to find a hospital report.
18:36Before he could make out the contents of the report...
18:39Tori, I was just gonna...
18:40Boss, what are you doing here?
18:41What the hell are you doing here?
18:43Tori isn't answering her phone, so I thought I'd drop by her apartment.
18:46You're here looking for her, too?
18:47She's not here. Why do you need her?
18:49Boss, you hung up on me several times. I know you're engaged now, and you don't want to hear about
18:52Tori.
18:52I'll leave right away. Stop right there, spit it out. What happened to her?
18:54Tori had been by his side for six years.
18:57Marco always kept him updated on her, never dared keep anything from him.
19:02After the engagement party ended, I called you a dozen times. You didn't pick up.
19:06Your calls were about a casualty at the hotel. What does that have to do with Tori?
19:10He stopped mid-sentence. Something clicked.
19:14Gosh, no way.
19:17Boss, the person involved in the incident in room 306 tonight was Tori.
19:21What the hell are you talking about? Remember Tony Biacci? The one who had been fighting you over the Adrianic
19:25Arms line?
19:25He went into 306, too.
19:27When reporters rushed in after getting tipped off, she was already lying in a pool of blood.
19:30I kept calling you. You said call the police?
19:32By the time I got back, she'd already been taken to the hospital. I couldn't track her down anywhere.
19:36Do you think it's funny to make this up?
19:38You know what she means to me.
19:39How the hell would she end up with another man?
19:41Boss, it's true.
19:42Enough. She's just hiding from me for a few days. Stop making a fuss.
19:46He picked up the report and flipped it open casually.
19:49Early intrauterine pregnancy. Approximately six weeks. Fetal development normal.
19:56His heart skipped a beat. A strange feeling surged through him. He thought it was panic.
20:02She was carrying his child. That was before the contract. It didn't count as a violation.
20:09The priority now was finding her and setting her up. He called Tori, but her phone was off.
20:15He thought for a moment, then sent a message. The message had been sent, but there was no reply.
20:20Boss, we got something. One of my guys tracked down a private hospital.
20:24A doctor there said he took in a woman earlier tonight. Severe hemorrhage, pregnancy loss.
20:27The doctor said they tried the first emergency contact and her phone saved as husband.
20:30They got through, but he hung up. The number ended in 8867.
20:33Boss, did you get a call from any hospital today?
20:35He had. Not only did he answer, he cursed them out.
20:38The second contact they dialed was saved as mom.
20:41That call went through, and she was picked up shortly after.
20:43Who's mom?
20:44No idea. The doctor said the woman claimed to be Tori's mother.
20:47Impossible. Her mother's been dead for years. Who the hell picked her up?
20:50I'll ask them myself.
20:51Go pull the hotel's security footage right now.
20:54I want to know exactly why those two ended up in 306 together.
20:58Tori would never humiliate herself like that. He knew that better than anyone.
21:02The woman who took Tori, what did she look like? Did she leave any information?
21:05You're the patient's husband?
21:07When Tori was hemorrhaging, we called. You hung up. Then we called her mother.
21:09Within 10 minutes, three black SUVs pulled up outside. A whole team got out. Doctors, bodyguards,
21:14two men in chutes.
21:15Since when had Tori had connections like that? No one ordinary could do that.
21:21When he got back to the apartment, Luca was like a man who'd lost his soul.
21:25He sat through the night. He had just found out about the child, thinking he was going to be a
21:30father.
21:30Yet overnight, he lost them both.
21:33Boss, the footage from the third floor corridor. The hard drive just happened to crash.
21:39Crashed.
21:41You really expect me to believe that?
21:43Marco kept his head down. He dragged Tony Bianchi out of the party and threw him into the casino basement.
21:49Luca!
21:50We can talk this out!
21:52Tony curled up, screaming in agony.
21:56Who sent you to 306?
21:57You texted me. You told me to take care of her. Said not to hold back. The afternoon of the
22:03engagement party. Look, it's right here.
22:05He remembered. Serena had borrowed his phone at the party.
22:10Tori.
22:12What did she say?
22:14She didn't say much.
22:16She came in and called out Mr. Russo.
22:18Serena was the interruper.
22:20Tori is my only true fiancé.
22:21Vitali family stormed out in rage.
22:24Before the conference even ended, his father called in.
22:27Without the Vitalis, we are finished.
22:30Luca didn't argue.
22:32This was the only thing he could do for Tori now.
22:34She had never been just a mistress.
22:37Within hours of the announcement, the internet was on fire.
22:40Said it was all a ploy for power.
22:43Then someone anonymous leaked screenshots of the mistress contract he'd forced Tori to sign.
22:47Before Luca could trace the leak, the Vitali family retaliated.
22:51They pulled funding.
22:53Territory was chipped away.
22:54Key members defected.
22:55His father and the family elders pushed Luca to move fast.
22:59Cut losses.
23:00Do something.
23:01He couldn't hear a word of it.
23:02They didn't know.
23:03The only reason he'd ever agreed to marry Serena was to use the Vitali arms line.
23:08He searched for Tori like a madman.
23:10But he'd vanished from him.
23:12Not a single trace left for him to follow.
23:14He went to the nursing home.
23:16Found her useless father.
23:17Said there's someone she needs to go see.
23:19Clean and pure.
23:20It's her mom.
23:21Must be her mom.
23:22Didn't her mother die?
23:23I know is.
23:23I'll never see her again.
23:25Two months later, just as Luca hit a dead end, a notification popped up on his phone.
23:31Driven by instinct, he clicked it.
23:33The photo shows a man and woman.
23:35Luca stared at the familiar face.
23:37His pupils contracted sharply.
23:41It all made sense now.
23:43When she said she'd discussed with her mother about the marriage next month, this was what
23:48she meant.
23:49The Russos had looked down on her for her background and her gambler father.
23:53Her mother was the runaway daughter of the Moretti family.
23:56All those years when Vittoria was struggling in the mud, she wasn't without a way out.
24:01Her mother had paid the price for marrying beneath her once.
24:04She would never let her daughter walk the same path.
24:07Vittoria had waited six years.
24:09She never left.
24:10What had he done?
24:11What did he do?
24:12Why didn't you tell me?
24:14Luca booked a flight to Los Angeles.
24:17He waited in the Moretti group lobby for three days.
24:20She wouldn't see him.
24:22On the fourth day, a document was delivered to him.
24:25Moretti was moving to absorb the last piece of the Russo territory.
24:28He couldn't take it anymore.
24:30He stormed into the elevator and went straight to the top floor.
24:33Inside the CEO's office, Vittoria Moretti was signing papers.
24:39Vittoria.
24:40Security, someone broke in.
24:42Vittoria, do you really have to leave me no way out?
24:45The mistress agreement isn't the only leverage I have.
24:48I have 20 records of money laundering from your casinos.
24:50That's enough to keep the FBI busy.
24:52If you bother me again, I won't go easy on you.
24:56Sign it.
24:57Then you still have a way out.
24:58So, this was your plan from the start?
25:03So, this was your plan from the start?
25:05You let me humiliate you.
25:06You signed the contract.
25:06You stayed at the casino.
25:07Not because you couldn't let go of six years.
25:09You were there to get your hands on the core financial records to hand them to the Morettis on a
25:13silver platter?
25:13Vittoria didn't deny it.
25:15With a clean slate.
25:16That was her mother's only condition.
25:19Her mother had wanted Vittoria to destroy Luca Russo herself.
25:23By the way, that Tony Bianchi is my mother's man.
25:27She arranged for him to play a part to turn you and the Vitalis against each other.
25:31She just didn't expect that I was pregnant.
25:34The news was contained.
25:35No one knows.
25:36If you want to make this public, I don't mind releasing the footage from 306 along with the message you
25:42sent to Tony.
25:43You didn't tell your mother about the pregnancy, did you?
25:46Because you knew she'd make you get rid of it.
25:47So, the trap they set, they didn't tell you and that's why you lost the baby, right?
25:51Vittoria's fingers curled slightly.
25:53You still cared.
25:54Even though you hate me, you could have used the baby to blackrail me, but you didn't.
25:59You wanted that child, didn't you?
26:01You came all the way to Los Angeles just to tell me this?
26:05No.
26:05I came to tell you I had reasons for what I did.
26:07I thought marrying Serena would give me the power to marry you eventually.
26:10I was just taking a short...
26:11You never once asked if I was willing to wait.
26:13You only thought about how to maximize your gains at the minimum cost.
26:17Including you coming here.
26:18It's not because you love me.
26:19It's because you can't stand being outplayed by a woman you looked down in.
26:23She stood up and walked past him toward the door.
26:25Luca Russo, you once thought I wasn't good enough for you.
26:28Now, it's my turn to look down on you.
26:31The acquisition went faster than expected.
26:33The casino, the docks, the money laundering channels.
26:36All changed hands.
26:38Old Russo had a heart attack and was hospitalized.
26:41The board demanded that Luca give up what was left.
26:44Mr. Russo, if you ever need anything, give me a call.
26:47Give her back to me!
26:49She was never yours.
26:51How can I give her back?
26:53Luca stood there, as if all his strength had been drained from him.
26:57Dante was right.
26:58He had never truly had her.
27:01And because of her, he had lost everything.
27:05Six months later.
27:07Winter came to Sicily again.
27:10Luca sat inside a cheap apartment in Palermo.
27:12The sky outside veiled in dull gray.
27:15The old Russo died in the hospital.
27:17His last words were a curse.
27:19Black sheep.
27:21Luca didn't argue.
27:22For six months, he'd tried everything.
27:25Sent messages through intermediaries.
27:27Wrote letters.
27:29Even stood outside the Moretti's territory for an entire night.
27:32All he got was being chased away by bodyguards.
27:35And a warning from Dante Moretti.
27:38He knew he needed to let go.
27:40But every time he closed his eyes, that pregnancy test report kept haunting his mind.
27:45If that night hadn't happened, his phone rang.
27:48An unknown number.
27:50Luca Russo.
27:52I'm her mother.
27:53I'm not calling for her sake.
27:55She doesn't know about this call, and I don't want her to.
27:58Then why?
27:59There's something you should know.
28:01The baby survived.
28:03She knows.
28:04She's always known.
28:06I wanted to keep it from her, but the first thing she asked when she woke up was whether
28:10the baby was still there.
28:12I couldn't lie to her.
28:13So she kept that child and married Dante.
28:15My adopted son is an excellent man.
28:17He's loved Tori for years.
28:18They're very happy now.
28:19I'm not telling you this because you're worthy of knowing.
28:21It's because she wants me to pass you a word.
28:22What does she want to tell me?
28:24She said, the child carries the Moretti name, not Russo.
28:26But her eyes are like yours.
28:27That's the only part of her you'll ever have.
28:29But don't ever think of getting close to her.
28:30Why are you telling me this?
28:32You should know what you lost.
28:33That's the only way this pain will last.
28:34The call ended.
28:36The light from his phone screen illuminated his tear-streaked face.
28:40This was his punishment.
28:44Three years later, Los Angeles, Sunny, in the gardens of the Moretti estate, a little
28:48girl with pigtails chased butterflies across the lawn.
28:51She looked pretty, round cheeks, gray eyes.
28:54Nana, Nana, look, a butterfly.
28:58All right, sweetheart.
28:59Go find your mama.
29:00The little girl hopped back toward the house.
29:03What's up, my little butterfly?
29:05Then to the beach we go.
29:09Dante stepped out of the study, a file still in his hand.
29:12When he saw this scene, he smiled lightly.
29:15Sunlight fell on her, and her white skirt fluttered in the wind.
29:18She looked relaxed and totally at ease, smiling as if nothing had ever hurt her.
29:24Same day, Palermo, a city street.
29:26Luca stood at the entrance of an Italian restaurant.
29:29A cigarette clamped between his fingers.
29:31He'd lost a lot of weight, with heavy dark circles under his eyes.
29:35Dressed in a plain jacket, he looked ordinary.
29:37The Russo family was history.
29:39Now he was just a nobody, making a living as an accountant.
29:42In his phone was a photo, one he'd spent all his savings to buy from a paparazzo.
29:47It's a photo of a little girl running across a lawn,
29:50a small dimple at the corner of her mouth when she smiled.
29:53He looked at it every day, and every time, he smiled first, then cried.
29:58If there had never been that mistress agreement,
30:00if he hadn't been so greedy and cowardly,
30:03if only when she'd said,
30:05if I said I planned to, he'd let her finish.
30:08Perhaps the story wouldn't have ended this way,
30:10but there are no what-ifs in this world, only consequences.
30:15You live what you choose.
30:17He chose betrayal, so he suffered loss,
30:20and she chose to endure pain, so she finally found freedom.
30:24The only regret left was the little girl with gray eyes.
30:27She would never know that on a street somewhere in New York,
30:30there was a man who cried over her photo every day,
30:33nor would she ever know that her existence was the only pure thing
30:37between two people who owed each other far too much.
30:40And she liked earlier for the show.
30:41Shame on you!
30:41And now all the missing others were.
30:42I'm happy to not chat with you.
30:42So let's put her attention to this mistake.
30:42So when it's made you trust me,
