Short filmTranscript
00:00Every night I had to take my twin sister's place and sleep with the Moriti heir on the bed.
00:04Your twin sister cheated on me. Make it up to me for her.
00:09I closed my eyes. Every single soul in Chicago knows it, the golden underworld heir.
00:14Ernesto Moretti loves my sister Adriana Bennett to the bone, but she cheated on him on their wedding night.
00:21Three months later, he found out the truth. He didn't leave me, but each time got more ruthlessly in bed.
00:29Until I threw myself off the balcony, I woke up in my little bedroom right back to the night.
00:35My sister begged me to replace her, but I remembered the past misery.
00:39This time, I am not using Adriana's name. I'll make Ernesto fall for me and own him with my name.
00:45I'm not walking to Ernesto's house under Adriana's name.
00:51This time, though, I wasn't leaving Ernesto Moretti's side.
00:55You're overreacting!
00:57You can't seriously expect me to marry him instead of Adriana?
01:00You think your sister should marry a mobster?
01:03And I shouldn't!
01:04Ellie, be realistic. Adriana has options.
01:08Graduate school, a career you barely passed high school.
01:14So I'm disposable?
01:16No, you're useful.
01:19They locked me in my bedroom the next morning, windows nailed half shut. My father even took
01:24my phone last time. I cried for three days. This time, I sat calmly on the edge of the
01:29bed and remembered exactly how Ernesto Moretti looked when he realized he'd been lied to.
01:34Three days later, black SUVs rolled into our driveway. My mother nearly fainted while fixing
01:39her makeup. My father kept sweating through his dress shirt. And then Ernesto walked in,
01:43six foot two, black tailored coat.
01:46This is Adriana!
01:48Ernesto's eyes landed on me. My parents started smiling way too early.
01:54I'm not Adriana.
01:56Ellie!
01:58My name is Ellie Bennett.
02:04I'm Adriana's twin sister.
02:06Ernesto Moretti finally looked interested.
02:08The woman you've been dating is my sister, not me.
02:11My father lunged forward.
02:12What the hell are you doing?
02:15You don't understand. This whole marriage is a lie. Adriana never wanted to marry you.
02:24I'm so sorry, Mr. Moretti. Ellie's been under a lot of stress lately.
02:28Finals, wedding pressure, she's not thinking clearly.
02:31They started dragging me toward the hallway, but Ernesto didn't move.
02:34Ernesto.
02:35He just pulled out his phone and made a call. A ringtone suddenly echoed from upstairs,
02:39from Adriana's bedroom. Ernesto slowly lifted his eyes to the second floor. Then he walked up.
02:44One of his men shoved the bedroom door open with a loud crack.
02:48Adriana stood by the bed, frantically trying to silence her phone.
02:51Ernesto stared at her for a long few seconds.
02:54You? You don't want to marry me?
02:59My father stumbled forward.
03:01Mr. Moretti, Adriana just... she still wants to finish grad school.
03:04Yeah, she thought maybe after graduation...
03:06Basta.
03:07Ernesto cut them off coldly. Enough.
03:10You think it's funny to make me look like a fool in front of my family?
03:15No! No, sir, that's not what we meant!
03:18Yes.
03:19I tried to push myself up, but my father shoved me back down.
03:22Calling off the wedding isn't an option.
03:25Slowly, he looked down at me. I was still sitting on the floor beneath him, shaking. Ernesto's gaze lingered on
03:31me for a long moment.
03:32I came here for her.
03:35So she'll be the one who marries me.
03:41The Meridia state glowed like something out of a movie that night.
03:44Representatives from half the city's criminal underworld had come to celebrate Ernesto Moretti's engagement.
03:49My father kept knocking back whiskey, bragging to anyone who'd listen that he was basically family now, even after dying
03:55once.
03:56I still ended up here.
03:57I stood near the ballroom balcony, below, in the courtyard.
04:00I spotted two of Ernesto's men talking to a third man. The third man looked nervous.
04:05Then I saw Adriana.
04:06She walked across the room wearing a dress, pretending to smile while two women chatted her up.
04:11But I knew my sister. That expression wasn't happiness.
04:15It was resentment.
04:16Halfway through the party, I escaped to the restroom to fix my makeup.
04:20You better remember something, Ellie.
04:22You're only marrying him because of me.
04:24I know. You know.
04:27I finally looked up at her reflection in the mirror.
04:30Then act like it.
04:31You better stay in your lane.
04:33If Ernesto starts liking you, or if you get pathetic enough to fall for him yourself, you'll regret it.
04:39Then why didn't you marry him yourself?
04:41If you care about him that much, why hand him over to me?
04:45You don't understand anything. Ernesto loves me.
04:48Relax. He only likes you.
04:51That was never the problem.
04:53You're just the stand-in.
04:55Back in the ballroom.
04:57Ernesto stood surrounded by men in dark suits while someone discussed shipping routes beside him in Italian.
05:02Without realizing it, my feet carried me away from the music.
05:05Past a door that should have been locked but wasn't.
05:08Toward the narrow staircase leading up, until finally, the rooftop.
05:12I walked forward, step by step, with steady determination.
05:17The Meredi estate stretched out endlessly beneath the night sky.
05:20The pool house.
05:21The guest cottage where they'd kept that nervous man from the party.
05:24This rooftop had no railing.
05:26In my last life, this was where I jumped.
05:28I stepped closer to the edge.
05:31A hand grabbed me and yanked me back.
05:33What the hell are you doing?
05:34A shoulder holster pressing against my ribs.
05:38You trying to get yourself killed?
05:40I came up here for air!
05:43Why do you even care?
05:44Ernesto stared at me for a second, then glanced at the edge behind me.
05:48You call standing that close to a six-story dop getting air?
05:52If you slipped and-
05:53So what if I did?
05:55Maybe dying would be easier!
05:57My life's already a disaster!
06:00Is marrying you not bad enough already?!
06:03Below us, a car door closed, voices murmured in Italian.
06:07Something about La Sposa, the bride.
06:11So you really think marrying me is worse than dying?
06:16You don't get to die.
06:18Not anymore.
06:19His fingers released my wrist, but didn't let go.
06:22Just slid down to my hand instead.
06:24Come inside.
06:25Before someone sees you up here and gets the wrong idea.
06:29But you know, for someone who supposedly never lived here before,
06:32you walk straight to the exact spot.
06:35You seem a little too familiar with this place.
06:38Ellie.
06:43I realized what I just said the second it left my mouth.
06:46His expression darkened instantly.
06:49The kind that went terrifyingly quiet.
06:51And suddenly I regretted everything.
06:53My heartbeat started pounding painfully in my ears.
06:56But Ernesto didn't yell, didn't threaten me.
06:59He just stared at me for several endless seconds.
07:01Then he suddenly grabbed my wrist again.
07:03Hard.
07:04As he violently dragged me away from the rooftop edge.
07:07Ernesto.
07:08He ignored me completely.
07:09I stumbled trying to keep up while he pulled me down the narrow staircase.
07:13You really would have jumped.
07:15I should have shut up.
07:16I should have pretended.
07:18Would that have bothered you?
07:19Something in his expression shifted slightly.
07:22You're wearing a ten million dollar engagement ring.
07:25Most people would kill to be in your position.
07:27Then let them have it.
07:30By noon, the rooftop had completely changed.
07:33Steel railings now surrounded the entire terrace.
07:37Three days later, Ernesto moved me into the Moretti family mansion permanently.
07:41A beautiful prison.
07:42But Ernesto barely appeared.
07:44He left before sunrise.
07:46Returned after midnight.
07:47Sometimes I wouldn't see him for days.
07:49It almost felt intentional.
07:51And strangely, that distance made me stop caring.
07:54If I was trapped here anyway, then fine.
07:56I'd survive comfortably.
07:58So I started spending Ernesto's money aggressively.
08:01Designer dresses, diamond earrings, luxury handbags, custom heels.
08:05Every time I visited my parents' house, I showed up dressed to kill.
08:09New jewelry.
08:10New clothes.
08:11Perfect makeup.
08:12My mother's expression got more complicated with every visit.
08:15My father kept staring at my designer bags like he was calculating their resale value.
08:20But neither of them dared say much anymore.
08:22Not after becoming connected to the Moretti family.
08:25Only Adriana couldn't hide it.
08:29You're really enjoying yourself now, huh?
08:31That outfit probably costs more than most people make in a year.
08:37The mansion.
08:39The clothes.
08:40The money.
08:40You stole my place.
08:42I almost laughed.
08:43You rejected him first.
08:45Now you said it's steel?
08:47I walked past her without another glance.
08:49Behind me, I could practically feel Adriana staring holes through my back.
08:53One week later, the wedding day arrived.
08:55The mansion buzzed with makeup artists, stylists, security teams, and event coordinators rushing everywhere.
09:02I sat in front of the mirror while someone curled my hair.
09:05Shouting erupted outside the dressing room.
09:08I changed my mind.
09:10I don't want to work anymore.
09:12I want to get married.
09:13Adriana, the invitations already went out.
09:15So what?
09:16Why does Ellie get to live like this?
09:18She wears designer brands every day.
09:20She lives in a mansion.
09:22That life was supposed to be mine.
09:24You can't just switch now.
09:25What would people think?
09:26She hasn't married him yet.
09:28If we switched once, then why can't we switch back?
09:32Ernesto loves me.
09:33He loves my personality.
09:34I'm not a weird girl.
09:35The second I tell him I'm the real Adriana Bennett, he'll be glad I came back.
09:41I sat silently in the dressing room, listening to the argument outside spiral completely out of control.
09:46My hands slowly tightened in my lap.
09:48What exactly was I to them?
09:50A daughter?
09:51Or just something interchangeable?
09:53Adriana's voice rang through the hallway again.
09:56Why should Ellie get everything now?
09:59I shut my eyes briefly, then stood up and pulled open the door.
10:04The second Adriana saw me, saw the white designer wedding gown draped around my body.
10:09Something ugly flashed openly across her face.
10:12Her eyes traveled over the diamonds at my throat, the professional makeup, the veil carefully pinned into my hair, before
10:19I could react.
10:20She grabbed a heavy wooden jewelry box from the coffee table and hurled it directly at me.
10:24Pain exploded across my temple.
10:26I staggered sideways instantly.
10:29Adriana! Stop!
10:31If I can't marry Ernesto, then this idiot doesn't get you either!
10:35We can all go to hell together for all I care!
10:38The room spun violently around me.
10:40Then my mother said the words that finally destroyed something inside me.
10:44Maybe she's right.
10:46We don't have a choice anymore.
10:49Quick, take the dress off her before Ernesto's people arrive.
10:52My stomach dropped, then hands grabbed me.
10:54My mother yanked at the zipper behind my gown, while Adriana ripped the veil from my hair so hot.
11:00No! Stop!
11:01The wedding gown was stripped off my body piece by piece.
11:05Adriana snatched the gown from the floor immediately.
11:07Then my father grabbed my arms.
11:12No!
11:13I tried to resist.
11:15My heels dug into the floor.
11:17Dad shoved me hard inside anyway.
11:19Darkness swallowed everything instantly.
11:21Not the slow kind of dark, the sudden suffocating kind.
11:25Then came the metallic click of the lock.
11:27At first, my fists ached.
11:29Please!
11:30Mom!
11:32Please let me out!
11:34Nobody answered.
11:35The house creaked above me.
11:37Blood continued dripping down my face.
11:39I could taste copper on my lip.
11:40My shoulders pressed against the walls on both sides.
11:43I stopped pounding after a while.
11:45My arms gave out first.
11:46Then my voice outside.
11:48Distant noise suddenly erupted from downstairs.
11:50Looks like the groom's here!
11:52The atmosphere outside sounded joyful, celebratory.
11:55Then, through the noise outside, through the laughter and the music and the clinking glasses,
12:00a cold male voice suddenly cut across the entire house.
12:03Not loud.
12:04Just there.
12:05Where's Ellie?
12:06Ellie.
12:08The living room fell into an eerie silence.
12:11Every one froze at Ernesto Moretti's sudden question.
12:14Where's Ellie?
12:15My mother reacted first.
12:17What are you talking about?
12:19This is Ellie.
12:22Ernesto, are you overwhelmed or something?
12:24You can't even recognize your own bride?
12:28Exactly!
12:29She just looks different with professional makeup.
12:32The groom must just be nervous.
12:36The ceremony time has almost come, so why don't we proceed first?
12:39Ernesto never looked away from the bride sitting on the sofa.
12:42Adriana wore my wedding gown.
12:44Even her posture had changed.
12:45Hands folded carefully in her lap.
12:47He simply kept staring at her.
12:48Everyone out.
12:50Most relatives didn't dare argue.
12:52The tension radiating from Ernesto was suffocating enough already.
12:56People immediately started backing toward the door in nervous silence.
12:59My father forced himself forward anyway.
13:01Ernesto, maybe this isn't appropriate right now.
13:04How appropriate?
13:06If the timing's wrong, we change the timing.
13:08My life doesn't answer to schedules.
13:12Nobody argued after that.
13:14The wedding coordinator lowered her head and fled with the others.
13:17One by one, the guests disappeared.
13:19Until only my parents remained, Adriana in the wedding gown, and Ernesto inside the storage cabinet.
13:25I pressed both trembling hands against my mouth to stop myself from breathing too loudly.
13:29Blood continued dripping slowly down my neck.
13:31Then Ernesto suddenly moved fast.
13:34Ernesto!
13:35Before she could finish, he grabbed her chin sharply and he brushed aside the carefully styled hair.
13:40My mother gasped instantly.
13:41Smooth skin.
13:42No injury.
13:43No bruise.
13:44No cut near the temple.
13:45Ernesto's expression darkened immediately.
13:47Because when Adriana attacked me earlier, the wooden box had split open the skin near my hairline.
13:52I was bleeding badly.
13:53And Ernesto remembered.
13:55Slowly, Ernesto released Adriana's face.
13:57Then he turned away and started searching the house.
14:00Opening doors.
14:01Walking room to room with growing impatience.
14:04Ernesto.
14:06What exactly are you looking for?
14:08Ernesto stopped moving, then answered without turning around.
14:12My bride.
14:15What do you think I'm looking for?
14:17Real fury exploded through his calm expression.
14:19I'm looking for Ellie.
14:21His eyes swept across everyone in the room.
14:24So where the hell did you hide her?
14:26What are you talking about?
14:27This is Ellie.
14:27Ernesto ignored her completely.
14:29His gaze moved slowly across the house like a searchlight.
14:32Kitchen hallway.
14:33Bedrooms.
14:34As he searched room after room.
14:35My father nervously tried to block his path.
14:37Ernesto, please.
14:38Just listen.
14:39Move.
14:40My father hesitated.
14:42Ernesto shoved him aside hard without even looking at him.
14:45Ernesto's eyes landed on the old storage cabinet in the corner of the living room.
14:48For one second, the room became completely silent.
14:51Then Ernesto walked toward it.
14:53Wait!
14:54Ernesto grabbed the cabinet doors.
14:56I barely lifted my head.
14:57Everything felt blurry after the wedding gown had been ripped off me.
15:01I'd been left wearing only a thin slip beneath it.
15:03Slowly, he crouched down in front of the cabinet.
15:05His eyes fixed on the blood still seeping from my forehead.
15:08Carefully.
15:08Ernesto reached out and brushed aside the hair near my injured temple.
15:12Fresh wound.
15:12Near my hairline sat a faded scar.
15:14Adriana didn't have that scar.
15:16I did.
15:16Because when we were children, Adriana shoved me into the corner of a table door.
15:20Ernesto knew from the beginning.
15:22My mother's legs nearly gave out.
15:23Dad looked seconds away from collapsing.
15:26But Ernesto never looked at any of them.
15:28Then without a word, he removed his suit jacket.
15:31The expensive black fabric settled carefully around my shaking body.
15:34Covering me completely.
15:35Warmth hit me instantly.
15:37Before I could react, Ernesto slid one arm beneath my knees and the other around my back.
15:41Then lifted me effortlessly into his arms.
15:43He muttered automatically.
15:44I gasped weakly from the sudden movement.
15:48My head rested weakly against Ernesto Moretti's chest.
15:51Even through the dizziness, I could still feel the steady pounding of his heart.
15:54He carried me through the living room without looking back once.
15:57This isn't over.
16:00Outside.
16:01Dozens of wedding guests stood gathered beneath white floral arches and expensive lighting displays.
16:05Again, they saw Ernesto fall under his arms instead of the bride.
16:09What happened?
16:11Is that blood?
16:12Wait, that's not Adriana.
16:13Whispers exploded everywhere.
16:15Ernesto ignored all of them.
16:16He walked straight toward the black SUV waiting outside.
16:19One of his men immediately opened the door.
16:22Hospital.
16:23Then he climbed into the vehicle with me.
16:25The door slammed shut behind us.
16:27And for the first time all day, I finally lost consciousness when I woke again.
16:32The room smelled like disinfectant.
16:34Soft monitor beeps echoed beside the bed.
16:36My body felt unbearably heavy.
16:38For a little while, the hospital room stayed quiet.
16:41Then the door burst open violently.
16:43Adriana rushed inside.
16:48No, no, it was not what happened.
16:51It was an accident.
16:53Ellie hit her head accidentally.
16:55Lying weakly in the hospital bed, I almost laughed.
16:59Ernesto Moretti clearly didn't.
17:01So let me understand this correctly.
17:03Your sister accidentally hit her own head, then accidentally climbed into a storage cabinet,
17:10and accidentally locked herself inside?
17:13A strangled sound escaped my throat before I could stop it, and the tears came all at once.
17:18I curled weakly against the hospital pillow as sobs tore violently out of my chest, beneath the tears soaking through
17:24it.
17:24My breathing became uneven from crying too hard.
17:27Adriana looked horrified.
17:29And Ernesto.
17:30Ernesto's brows slowly tightened.
17:32I could barely see him clearly through my tears.
17:35But I still caught the strange look flashing briefly across his face.
17:39Miss Bennett needs to calm down.
17:40Everybody out!
17:41Nobody moved immediately.
17:42I said, now.
17:46Adriana flinched visibly.
17:48Within seconds, everyone started rushing toward the door.
17:51Even Adriana backed away under Ernesto Moretti's gaze.
17:55Until only Ernesto and I remained.
17:57I still couldn't stop crying.
17:59The sobs came harder the more I tried to suppress them.
18:02I turned my face away toward the window, not wanting him to see me like this.
18:05The room stayed silent for a long time.
18:07I felt the edge of the mattress shift slightly.
18:10Ernesto had sat down beside the bed.
18:12My breathing caught instantly.
18:14You cry like someone died.
18:16My throat tightened painfully.
18:18Something did.
18:19The injury near my temple healed surprisingly fast under careful treatment.
18:24After the stitches came out, only a faint pink scar remained near my hairline.
18:28Mostly hidden beneath my bangs.
18:30Easy to miss unless someone looked closely.
18:32A week later, I was temporarily staying in one of the guest suites inside the Meridi estate.
18:38The room was larger than my parents' entire apartment that afternoon.
18:42Ernesto walked in without warning, still dressed in black.
18:45I immediately sat up straighter, without speaking.
18:47He placed a thick invitation card in front of me.
18:50Gold lettering embossed across expensive ivory paper.
18:53Wedding invitations.
18:54By next month, the scar on your forehead should be healed enough.
18:58You won't need bandits during the ceremony.
19:00For several seconds, I just stared at the invitation in silence.
19:04Why?
19:08Adriana wants to marry you now, doesn't she?
19:10My voice came out quieter than intended.
19:13So why won't you marry her instead?
19:15Almost instantly, the bedroom door flew open.
19:19Yeah!
19:20Why can't it be me?
19:23I already admitted I was wrong!
19:26Why can't you give me another chance?
19:28For several seconds, Ernesto said nothing.
19:30Then he leaned back slightly against the desk near the window.
19:35When exactly did I stop giving you chances?
19:39From the beginning, this marriage arrangement was yours.
19:42I came to this city for you, met your parents for you, prepared a wedding for you,
19:46and even the day your family tried replacing you with your sister,
19:49I still asked you directly whether you wanted to marry me.
19:53Adriana, I gave you choices.
19:55I was young back then, I didn't understand my feelings yet!
19:59And stop assuming everyone around you is stupid.
20:06You thought I didn't know?
20:08That you secretly met with that artist a few weeks ago?
20:12That's not-
20:13You thought he was talented.
20:15Romantic.
20:18Different from me.
20:19Then you realized he was broke.
20:21He couldn't give you the life you wanted.
20:23Another step closer.
20:25So suddenly you remembered me.
20:28No, Ernesto, listen to me!
20:29And now, you're trying to crawl back to your backup plan.
20:33For the first time since I'd known her, my sister had no performance left.
20:37Meanwhile, Ernesto slowly turned toward me.
20:39His eyes landed on the wedding invitation still clutched tightly in my hands.
20:44I don't like being chosen second.
20:48But you don't even love her!
20:50Adriana finally snapped completely.
20:52Then why are you marrying her?
20:55Are you just trying to punish me?
20:57Ernesto Moretti actually looked confused.
21:00Who told you I don't love her?
21:01Ernesto's gaze stayed fixed on her.
21:04Did someone tell you that?
21:05You-
21:06He turned sharply toward the doorway.
21:10Someone escort Miss Bennet out.
21:14And from now on, she doesn't enter this floor without my permission.
21:17Almost immediately, two security men appeared outside.
21:21I watched the scene numbly.
21:23You shouldn't marry me just because you're angry at my sister.
21:27And who told you that I'm marrying you to upset her?
21:31I couldn't answer.
21:34I forced myself to breathe steadily.
21:37Marriage is serious.
21:38You should think about your future properly.
21:40But Ernesto simply walked toward me.
21:43Step by step.
21:46Ellie, manage your own future.
21:48Marrying me is the only thing you need to worry about.
21:52Then before I could say another word, he turned and walked out of the room.
21:56The morning of the wedding arrived.
21:58Before sunrise fully touched the windows,
22:00Ernesto woke violently from a nightmare.
22:03His breathing came hard and uneven.
22:05He didn't recognize his own bedroom.
22:07Then the dream came crashing back.
22:10In the dream, he'd received a phone call during a negotiation meeting.
22:15Then suddenly he was running through the Meridia State
22:17while people crowded outside the mansion whispering in horror.
22:20And there was a body beneath a white sheet, soaked completely red.
22:25His heart started pounding again, just remembering it.
22:28In the dream, his hands were shaking as he pulled back one corner of the sheet.
22:33Ellie.
