Transcript
00:03My name is Isabella Carlson.
00:07My father sells me to buy peace in Chicago, and today, I am marrying a man who doesn't love me.
00:14The son of a mafia Don, Alex Marino.
00:20I walk down the aisle alone. There is no groom at the altar.
00:24My only friend, Faye Nichols, pale as paper, grabs my arm.
00:28Izzy, you need to know. Alex ran off. An hour ago, he boarded the train to California with that singer
00:33from the Green Mill.
00:34He runs away, humiliating me in front of the entire mob.
00:38Sophia Marino, the matriarch of the Marino family, stands up.
00:42Isabella, this is not the place. Alex?
00:44Alex runs off with a whore. He breaks the pact. He insults your name and mine.
00:49We will retrieve him. He will do his duty.
00:52I don't want him. I will not take a coward into my bed.
00:57The pact requires a union between Carlson and Marino.
01:01Do not think you can walk away from this.
01:06I'm not walking away.
01:07The contract states a Carlson daughter must marry a Marino son.
01:11It does not specify which one.
01:13Since your heir is unfit, I demand a replacement.
01:15For your family's honor, I will choose the one, myself.
01:18All unmarried men of the Marino bloodland, stand up.
01:22Two stiff boys stand up.
01:24One is Mateo, Alex's best friend.
01:26If I marry him, I sleep next to a man who will hate me.
01:29The other is Luca, slim and trembling.
01:31He won't even meet my eyes.
01:33A coward.
01:34A brute or a coward.
01:35Those are my choices.
01:38If I pick either, I am dead.
01:40But I am done being a victim.
01:42No.
01:43I reject these two.
01:45Isabella, do not test my patience.
01:47You are in no position to be picky.
01:51I am the bride.
01:53And I am choosing the only man in this room who can restore the honor your family lost today.
01:58I lift my hand.
02:00My finger passes over everyone and points at the man sitting alone in the front row.
02:05He is Alex's father, the Don of the Marino family, the most powerful man in all of Chicago.
02:12Damien Marino turns his head, his eyes locking onto mine like obsidian.
02:17I choose him.
02:18I choose the Don.
02:22The cathedral falls dead silent.
02:25My hands tremble, but I pretend not to be nervous.
02:29You cannot be serious.
02:31Isabella, he is the Don.
02:32He is not an option.
02:34Why?
02:34You said any unmarried Moreno man.
02:36Is the Don married now?
02:38No, but...
02:39Then he is an option.
02:40I will not marry a boy who trembles at my glance, nor a man who will beat me.
02:43I need a husband who can uphold the weight of this alliance.
02:48I need the head of the family.
02:50I heard Damien's heart is dead.
02:52After his first wife died, he never touched another woman.
02:54No mistresses.
02:56No women at all.
02:57This will be a cold transaction.
02:58I will be safe.
02:59He won't touch me.
03:00More importantly, if I marry Damien, I become the matriarch.
03:04When Alex crawls back to Chicago, he will find a stepmother who outranks him.
03:08Isabella, be careful what you wish for.
03:11I am not wishing.
03:13I am demanding what is owed.
03:16Sophia stiffens.
03:18Or is the word of the Moreno family broken twice in one day?
03:22She looks at me, then turns to her son.
03:25Damien!
03:25Damien stands up.
03:26He is taller than Alex, broader in the shoulders.
03:31He stops in front of me.
03:34Up close, he is dangerous.
03:37You invoke the pact.
03:38I do.
03:40You understand what you are asking?
03:45You are asking to belong to me.
03:48I am asking for a husband who keeps his word.
03:52A muscle in his jaw twitches.
03:53Our family keeps its word.
03:56Are you certain, Isabella?
03:58I am.
04:00Then let us not keep God waiting.
04:02He extends his arm and leads me toward the altar.
04:17After the wedding, Damien takes me to the Moreno estate and enters his private quarters.
04:24This is where you will sleep.
04:26And you?
04:28Damien doesn't look at me.
04:30He goes to the wardrobe.
04:31Takes out a thick file and a black handgun.
04:36I'll be in the study.
04:37Panic pierces through me.
04:39He is leaving.
04:42Once he walks out that door,
04:44tomorrow the whole household will know that Don doesn't touch his bride.
04:47I will become a joke, with no standing at all.
04:50No!
04:53Excuse me?
04:57Is it a Moreno family tradition to run after making a vow?
05:03First the son, now the father?
05:08Watch your tongue, Isabella.
05:09You are pushing boundaries.
05:11You chose a king, not a lover.
05:15Did you expect me to hold you?
05:17To comfort you?
05:20I expect respect.
05:21I don't want your affection, Damien.
05:24I don't want your body.
05:25I chose you because you are cold.
05:29Because you are a machine.
05:31I didn't want a husband who would love me.
05:34I wanted one who wouldn't destroy me with feelings.
05:38You think my indifference makes you safe?
05:41It makes us functional.
05:43I will be the wife you need.
05:44I will bear your name.
05:46But for that to work, you cannot leave this room tonight.
05:50Sleep on the floor for all I care, but you stay!
05:53Damien stares at me.
05:54The mockery fades from his face,
05:56replaced by a sharp, calculating assessment.
05:59The floor is beneath me.
06:00He moves to the velvet chaise lounge at the foot of the bed,
06:03shrugs off his jacket, loosens his tie, and sits down.
06:07Go to bed, Isabella, before I change my mind.
06:10I climb into the massive, empty bed.
06:13The sheets are cold, and the space beside me is a void.
06:17But across the room, the dark outlie of the dawn remains.
06:21I have won the first round.
06:24But as I lie in the dark,
06:26listening to the steady breathing of the monster I married,
06:29I wonder, have I simply locked myself in the cage with the beast?
06:38I wake from a restless sleep.
06:40Damien stands at the foot of the bed, fully dressed,
06:45watching me.
06:46You manipulated the situation last night with a skill I didn't expect.
06:51From a girl barely out of the schoolroom.
06:53I did what was necessary.
06:57Why me?
06:59You could have run.
07:00You could have begged for a payout.
07:02Instead, you walked into the lion's den and locked the door behind you.
07:06Why?
07:07This is the test.
07:08If I lie, he will see through it.
07:11Because marrying anyone else makes me a tragedy.
07:13The poor girl left at the altar.
07:16By the dawn's son.
07:17A victim.
07:18A punchline.
07:20But,
07:21marrying the dawn makes me a queen.
07:24It was the only choice that guaranteed my survival.
07:27In this world,
07:29power is the only shield
07:30that matters.
07:32Ambitious.
07:33But ambition without purpose is just vanity.
07:36I have a purpose.
07:38And it makes me his mother.
07:40Alex?
07:41Alex Moreto stripped me of my honor in front of all of Chicago.
07:46As his new mother,
07:48I will teach him the respect he failed to show.
07:51It's a matter of family honor.
07:53A debt to be paid.
07:55I have just asked the most powerful man in the city for permission to go to war with his own
07:59son.
08:00You think you can handle him?
08:02I think he's a boy playing at being a man.
08:05He needs to learn that actions have consequences!
08:08He is a disgrace to the Moreno name.
08:11He lacks discipline.
08:12He lacks spine.
08:13In the next moment,
08:14Damien leans down,
08:16bracing his hands on the mattress,
08:18trapping me.
08:19He is your problem now, Isabella.
08:21As his mother,
08:23teach him his place.
08:25Break him if you have to.
08:27I don't care.
08:31What I don't expect is that before Alex is dragged back,
08:35I have to deal with the servants of this house.
08:39They are eager to put me in my place.
08:42Your coffee, ma'am.
08:43And the silk robe you requested.
08:46We couldn't locate it in the laundry.
08:48It seems to have been misplaced.
08:52I lift the cup.
08:54Stone cold.
08:56The steam has long since vanished.
09:02After the door closes,
09:04the young maid Clara hiss in anger.
09:07They are laughing at you.
09:08That coffee has been sitting there for an hour.
09:10And I saw the robe in the linen closet this morning.
09:13They hid it.
09:14I know, Clara.
09:15Then why didn't you say anything?
09:18You are the Dawn's wife.
09:20If I scream over a robe,
09:21I become the hysterical girl they want me to be.
09:24We wait.
09:26Wait for them to make a mistake that cannot be hidden.
09:32Only actions can be punished.
09:34The morning sun struggles to pierce the heavy velvet drapes.
09:38Damien left the estate before dawn.
09:40This is my chance to establish my authority in this house.
09:45Take them down.
09:48Are you sure, ma'am?
09:49The dawn prefers the dark.
09:50No one has touched this room since he took the title.
09:53I am not no one.
09:55I am his wife.
09:57Strip the bed as well.
09:59The gray linens are dreary.
10:01Use the white Egyptian cotton.
10:02The drapes fall.
10:04Sunlight floods in.
10:05The room instantly feels larger.
10:07But the light also illuminates he sneers on the faces of the two older maids by the wardrobe.
10:11They think the noise of the renovation masks their whispers.
10:15Look at her.
10:16Acting like a real queen.
10:18She forgets she was the collateral the heir threw away.
10:21Let her play.
10:22The dawn hasn't let a woman choose so much as a spoon in this house for 15 years.
10:26He'll throw her and her silk curtains out onto the street before nightfall.
10:30I turn.
10:32The sound of my heels on the hardwood floor cuts through their snickers.
10:38Repeat that!
10:40The fake smile on the maid's face vanishes.
10:44Ma'am, I was just saying the silk is very... delicate.
10:48No.
10:49You were predicting my eviction.
10:51You called me collateral.
10:53We meant no disrespect, Mrs. Moreno.
10:55Just idle talk.
10:57Idle talk is for the market.
10:59In this house, words have consequences.
11:02Please, ma'am, we didn't mean...
11:04You meant every word.
11:07And now...
11:10We wait for him.
11:13Since you are so certain of his reaction,
11:16you should have no fear
11:18in repeating your predictions to his face.
11:21I point to the center of the room where the sunlight pools.
11:25Kneel.
11:26They sink to the floor, trembling.
11:29You said the dawn would throw me and my silk curtains
11:32out onto the street before nightfall.
11:35Is that right?
11:37Ma'am, please.
11:39Is that right?
11:40Is that right?
11:41Yes.
11:43Good.
11:43Clara, you are loyal.
11:46Loyalty should be rewarded with authority.
11:49Slap them.
11:50Ten times each.
11:52Let them feel the consequence of disrespecting the Moreno name.
11:57Clara steps forward.
11:59The first slap is light.
12:01Harder.
12:03The second slap is brutal.
12:06Then the third.
12:07The fourth.
12:10Suddenly, the heavy doors swing open.
12:13Damien stands in the doorway.
12:16Dawn!
12:17Dawn, save us!
12:18She's mad!
12:20She's hurting us!
12:21We were just doing our jobs, sir!
12:24Please!
12:27Damien says nothing.
12:29His face dark.
12:30He walks toward me step by step.
12:33Damien steps past me
12:35and stops in front of the kneeling women.
12:38She gave you an order for ten slaps.
12:41How many has it been?
12:43Ten, sir.
12:44Then give them ten more.
12:50The maid's wails are cut short
12:52as Damien raises a hand.
12:55And when you are finished,
12:56take them to the cat house laundry
12:58on the south side.
13:00They will work there
13:01until they forget their own names.
13:08Damien's trusted man,
13:10Enzo,
13:10moves in
13:11to drag the sobbing women away.
13:13Damien walks toward me.
13:15I think you would mind this.
13:17At least until you knew the full story.
13:20No.
13:21I don't need to know.
13:23I gave you authority
13:24over my son's re-education, Isabella.
13:28Do you think I would grant you power
13:30over my own blood?
13:32But not over a maid?
13:34Damien looks at the spot
13:35where the maids melt,
13:36then lifts his gaze.
13:39This ugliness,
13:41it is not something
13:42a wife should have to deal with.
13:44On her second day.
13:46My heart skips a beat.
13:48He is apologizing?
13:51I understand the terms
13:53of our arrangement, Damien.
13:54I don't mind.
13:56You don't mind?
13:57Your protection
13:58and your name are enough.
14:00You have nothing
14:01to apologize for.
14:03Damien stares at me.
14:05Then he takes a step closer.
14:06Then another.
14:11Your understanding
14:12is appreciated, Isabella.
14:15He reaches out,
14:17his callished knuckles
14:18grazing my jaw.
14:19You focus on running
14:20my house, little queen.
14:22Leave the ugliness to me.
14:24He walks out of the room.
14:28I have done it.
14:30I have secured my position.
14:32We have a deal.
14:33A partnership
14:34devoid of desire.
14:36It is exactly
14:37what I wanted.
14:39But why does the place
14:40he touched
14:41still burn?
14:42Since that day,
14:43no one in this estate
14:45has dared to provoke me.
14:46The title of Mrs. Marino
14:48seems secure.
14:49Then Clara comes running
14:50to me in a panic.
14:52Madam, he's back.
14:54I don't need to ask who.
14:56Alex Marino.
14:58The boy who left me
14:59at the altar.
15:00He has no idea
15:01that the woman he abandoned
15:03is no longer his fiancée,
15:05but his stepmother.
15:09Enzo brought them
15:10ten minutes ago.
15:12They are in the Dawn study.
15:13I stand up.
15:15A cold smile
15:16touches my lips.
15:18I step inside the study.
15:21In the center of the Persia rug
15:23kneel two figures.
15:24Alex
15:25and the girl.
15:27Bound back to back.
15:29Alex's gaze
15:30locking onto mine
15:31with venomous disdain.
15:34Isabella,
15:35I should have known
15:36you'd be lurking around.
15:39Did you come to beg?
15:41Or did my father
15:42drag you here to watch?
15:45I don't know what lies
15:47you've told yourself,
15:48but this,
15:48us,
15:49it's never happening.
15:50I love Casey.
15:53You need to accept that.
15:55I'll have my father
15:56grant you an annulment.
15:58An annulment?
16:00That would be difficult, Alex.
16:07considering I haven't
16:08married you.
16:12What are you talking about?
16:13The pact!
16:17The pact required
16:19a union between
16:20a Carlson
16:21and a Moreno.
16:22It did not specify
16:24which Moreno.
16:25I gesture to Enzo
16:26standing by the door.
16:31He immediately bows
16:32his head to me.
16:34Madam.
16:35Alex's eyes
16:36dart between me
16:37and the soldier.
16:38The color drains
16:40from his face,
16:41leaving him ashen.
16:44No.
16:45No.
16:46No, you didn't.
16:51I found a man
16:52who doesn't run.
16:55Alex,
16:57is that any way
16:58to speak to your mother?
17:02You...
17:02You married him?
17:05You married Damien?
17:07I tell Alex a fact,
17:09but he doesn't seem
17:10willing to believe it.
17:12You're insane.
17:14You think my father,
17:16the Don,
17:16would touch the woman
17:18I cast aside?
17:19Watch your tongue,
17:21or I will have it
17:22cut out.
17:23You fucking bitch!
17:25You couldn't have me,
17:27so you went for my father?
17:28You'd rather be my mother
17:30than admit you were
17:31thrown away like trash?
17:32I stand tall,
17:33letting his rage
17:34wash over me.
17:35It doesn't sting.
17:36You think this is a game?
17:37You think marrying
17:38my father makes you
17:39anything other than
17:40a whore climbing the ladder?
17:41You are nothing,
17:42Isabella.
17:43Nothing!
17:44Enzo.
17:46In the Moreno family,
17:47what is the punishment
17:48for disrespecting
17:49the Don's wife?
17:50Loss of a finger
17:51for a first offense,
17:52madam.
17:52I turn back to Alex
17:53slowly,
17:54a cold smile
17:55on my lips.
17:56You see, son?
17:58Family rules.
17:59You wouldn't dare.
18:01I am the heir.
18:03I am the future
18:04of this family.
18:05You touch me,
18:06and the Capos
18:07will revolt.
18:07You think being the heir
18:09makes you untouchable?
18:11You forget, Alex.
18:12You are adopted.
18:14Loyalty is everything,
18:16and you chose
18:16to betray it for
18:18this.
18:19My gaze flicks to Casey.
18:21The girl is trembling
18:22so violently.
18:26Please.
18:27We just want to leave.
18:29We won't bother you.
18:30Please, let us go.
18:32Silent.
18:33Don't talk to her like that.
18:34She's worth ten of you,
18:35you venomous bitch.
18:38My father will never
18:39let you hurt me.
18:40He needs me.
18:42Does he?
18:43The voice doesn't
18:44come from me.
18:45Damien steps out of the
18:46shadows behind the desk.
18:48I straighten immediately,
18:49walk to Damien's side,
18:51placing a hand on his arm.
18:52Damien,
18:53your son.
18:54He refuses to show
18:55his mother the proper
18:56respect.
18:57He calls me names.
18:58He questions your judgment.
19:00Father, she...
19:01she trapped you.
19:02She's manipulating you.
19:04I came back for...
19:05You were dragged back.
19:06Like a dog that ran
19:07off its leash.
19:08I love her.
19:09You have to understand.
19:11You can't let this woman...
19:13This woman is my wife.
19:14And you are a disgrace
19:15to the Moreno name.
19:17Damien looks at me.
19:18There is no softness
19:20in his eyes.
19:21But there is approval.
19:22He lacks discipline.
19:24He has forgotten
19:25the weight of the name
19:26he carries.
19:27Isabella.
19:28As his mother.
19:29Teach him his place.
19:31Alex's face twists,
19:32his fear morphing
19:33into a desperate,
19:34reckless fury.
19:34How can you stand there
19:36and let her speak
19:36to me like that?
19:37Father!
19:37She is nothing
19:38but my discarded trash
19:40and you...
19:40you picked her up
19:41and put a crown
19:41on her head?
19:42Where is the dignity?
19:44Because she understands
19:45honor, Alex.
19:45And you,
19:46quite clearly,
19:47do not.
19:47You have broken the pact
19:49and insulted the family name.
19:50In this family,
19:51we bleed for such errors.
19:53Isabella,
19:53do whatever you want
19:54with him.
19:55A shiver of dark triumph
19:56races down my spine.
19:58The dawn has just
19:59handed the whip to me.
20:02Don't worry, darling.
20:03I'm going to be
20:04a very hands-on parent.
