AmusantTranscription
00:00To the world, I'm Sofia Romano, the family's wild, radiant princess.
00:05Vincent is the mafia heir, stoic, controlled, the very picture of restraint.
00:11But every night he grips my waist, fucking me until my legs go weak while whispering my name over and
00:17over, princess.
00:19His movements drove into me so relentlessly that I couldn't form a complete sentence.
00:24Deeper, feel me.
00:27Hush, my princess.
00:30I'm going to fill you up.
00:32The words broke apart between ragged breaths.
00:35I could feel him clearly, his solid presence moving within me, again and again, leaving me trembling.
00:41With a low, restrained groan, he gave in to the moment, pulling me closer as everything came to a head.
00:50When it was over, we were left clinging to each other, breathing hard, suspended in the fading echo of our
00:56shared climax.
00:57He just doesn't know that in two weeks, I'm marrying someone else.
01:00The sheets are still damp with our shared heat.
01:02I lie in bed, catching my breath, as Vincent rises to dress.
01:07From my side of the bed, I watch his long fingers deftly buttoning his shirt.
01:11Not staying tonight?
01:14Family meeting.
01:15Be good.
01:15That again.
01:17Vincent.
01:18Hmm?
01:19Nothing.
01:20I'm leaving.
01:24The moment the door clicks shut, I snatch my phone and dial a familiar number.
01:29Father, I accept the marriage alliance.
01:31In two weeks, I'll marry the dying sterling heir in Boston.
01:34But I have one condition.
01:35Good.
01:36Name it.
01:36We'll talk in person.
01:38I hang up, and my eyes fall on the phone Vincent left on the nightstand.
01:41The screen lights up with a new message.
01:43It's followed by a kissing emoji.
01:45I stare at the message, my fingertips trembling.
01:48Vincent has never taken me to the hospital.
01:51Not even when I broke a rib during training.
01:55I get dressed and discreetly follow his car.
01:58He pulls up to a cozy Italian restaurant on Mott Street.
02:02From a distance, I watch him stride toward a girl in a white dress.
02:05Isabella.
02:06She's even thinner than she appears in photos.
02:09Vincent reaches out, tucking a windswept strand of hair behind her ear.
02:13I've never seen him look so gentle, except when we're in bed.
02:19Three years ago, my father sent me to Vincent.
02:24The sight of his handsome, cold face made my knees weak.
02:30Sophia needs a proper education in how our family operates.
02:35She's too wild.
02:36You're the only one who can handle her.
02:39I was 19 then, fresh out of boarding school and brimming with rebellion.
02:43I thought Vincent was just another man trying to tame me.
02:46So I decided I would tame him first.
02:48The first time we met, I wore a miniskirt to his office just to provoke him.
02:53Vincent sat behind his desk and didn't even bother to look up.
02:56Close your legs, Sophia.
02:59Because the way you're sitting suggests the Romano family lacks class.
03:03I hiked my skirt even higher.
03:06How about now?
03:07Vincent finally looked up, his eyes cold behind his gold-rimmed glasses.
03:11Get out.
03:12For months, I did everything I could to get under his skin.
03:18I slipped flirtatious notes into his files, sabotaged missions he assigned, and even put
03:25a laxative in his whiskey.
03:29Vincent always cleaned up my messes with infuriating calm, then told me in that patronizing tone,
03:38Sophia, you're a smart girl.
03:40You need to apply that intelligence to the right things.
03:43Until that night.
03:47I drugged his drink, desperate to see what a Vincent without his iron control would look like.
03:55I just didn't expect to still be in the room when the drug took hold.
03:58What did you put in my drink?
04:01You've already guessed, haven't you?
04:04I met his searing gaze.
04:11Want to try me?
04:14That night changed everything.
04:18He murmured, stroking my cheek.
04:21Vincent, I...
04:23Princess, this will be our secret.
04:25Princess.
04:26Little princess.
04:28That was the word that made me fall completely.
04:30He pinned me to the bed, kissed my body.
04:32When his thick cock pressed against my clit,
04:35I could clearly feel just how massive it was.
04:38A wave of fear washed over me in an instant.
04:41Before I could even protest, he thrust all the way in with one powerful stroke.
04:45I gasped sharply, sucking in a cold breath.
04:48Please, please, be gentle.
04:51Please, be gentle.
04:54Let me have you.
04:56All of you, princess.
04:58Then he began to move, slowly sliding in and out.
05:02With each steady thrust, pleasure gradually replaced the initial discomfort.
05:06My juices started flowing freely, soaking his thighs completely.
05:11Harder.
05:12I mimed.
05:18Feels good, doesn't it, my little princess?
05:21Deeper.
05:22Please, deeper.
05:25Vincent suddenly flipped me over, gripping my hips firmly as he pounded into me from behind.
05:31One hand reached around to roughly rub my swollen clit.
05:34His stamina was incredible.
05:36He fucked me for hours, driving me to orgasm again and again.
05:42For the next two years, we maintained this strange, clandestine relationship.
05:49By day, he was the same, composed, rational Vincent.
05:55But at night, he'd whisper, princess, in my ear and fuck me until my legs gave out.
06:02I thought he loved me, until my birthday.
06:05I'd spent the entire day preparing, put on my most beautiful dress, and booked a table
06:10at the restaurant where we first met.
06:12I was going to tell him I loved him, that I wanted to be with him, no matter the cost.
06:17But Vincent never showed up.
06:19I sat alone in that restaurant for three hours, until even the waiter started to look at me
06:25with pity.
06:29The next day, photos of Vincent greeting another woman at the airport went viral.
06:34In the pictures, Isabella was nestled in his arms, the two of them as intimate as lovers.
06:39So that's where he'd been last night.
06:41He'd gone to pick her up.
06:42I laughed bitterly, and drank until I couldn't feel anything.
06:46I wanted to confront him, to demand to know what I was to him.
06:50A fuck buddy?
06:51A tool?
06:52But I didn't have the courage.
06:53I was too lonely, too addicted to the warmth he offered.
06:59That night, Vincent came home to find a wreck.
07:03I'd used a wine bottle to smash every single picture of Isabella in his study.
07:12He didn't even flinch.
07:14He just instructed the maid to clean up the mess and take care of me, then walked right
07:19past me.
07:20In that moment, I finally understood.
07:23Vincent was the family heir.
07:25Untouchable, cold, and proud.
07:29His tolerance wasn't a sign of affection.
07:32He simply couldn't be bothered to argue with me.
07:35After that, he still called me Princess in bed, as if nothing had changed.
07:40But my heart was already dead.
07:45Outside the restaurant, Vincent opened the car door for Isabella.
07:49They were laughing about something.
07:53I looked away, and drove back to the Romano family estate.
08:07What did you say?
08:09I said, I'll marry the Sterling family's dying heir.
08:13In exchange, we sever all ties.
08:16From this moment on, I am no longer a Romano.
08:19You can welcome your mistress and your bastard daughter into this home with open arms.
08:25The day you staged the car crash that killed my mother, I stopped wanting you as a father
08:32anyway.
08:33I told you, that crash was an accident.
08:36Don Romano shot to his feet.
08:39Accident or not, she died on her way to find you cheating with Maria.
08:44Dad, let's stop pretending we're a happy family.
08:48You've been trying to sell me to the Sterlings for five months.
08:52Isn't it just so your precious mistress can finally marry into the family, so your bastard
08:57daughter can finally take the Romano name?
08:59Sophia, you want to be disloaned?
09:02Fine!
09:03As of tomorrow, you are no longer my daughter!
09:07Get out!
09:08Deal!
09:12Oh, and don't forget to inform the Sterling family.
09:15Their bride is no longer the eldest daughter of the Romano family, but a parentless orphan.
09:21Ask them if they're still willing to pay the same price.
09:28Back in my room, I shut the door, and the mask I wore finally crumbled.
09:33Tears streamed down my face.
09:38I curled up on the bed, a wounded animal licking its wounds.
09:42Do you know, Vincent?
09:43To finally leave you, I had to give up the only thing I had left.
09:48The next morning, I heard the sounds of furniture being moved downstairs.
09:53I rose and walked to the landing of the staircase.
09:56A familiar figure stood at the bottom.
09:59Isabella.
10:00My blood ran cold.
10:02She was that new daughter.
10:05My stepmother's daughter.
10:09Isabella stood at the bottom of the stairs, in a simple white dress.
10:13The picture of fragile innocence.
10:14She spotted me, smiling like an angel.
10:17You must be Sophia.
10:19I'm Isabella.
10:20It's a pleasure to finally meet you.
10:22I didn't answer.
10:23Just stared down at her.
10:25Don Romano emerged from the living room.
10:28Seeing Isabella, a rare look of paternal affection crossed his features.
10:34Isabella, you must be tired from your journey.
10:36Have Sophia show you to your room.
10:38Thank you, Uncle Romano.
10:40Take Sophia's room.
10:41It gets the best light, perfect for your recovery.
10:44My room?
10:45From now on, it's Isabella's room.
10:47You can move to the third floor.
10:49There's an empty guest room up there.
10:51No thanks.
10:52I went back upstairs and began to pack.
11:01Where do you think you're going?
11:03I'm leaving.
11:05Since I'm no longer a Romano, there's no reason for me to stay here.
11:08Sophia!
11:10Your wedding is in two weeks.
11:12Don't be ridiculous.
11:14I know.
11:15I'll be at the wedding to fulfill our agreement.
11:20The door slammed shut behind me.
11:22I drove away from the Romano estate without a second glance.
11:26I thought about calling a friend, but then I realized I didn't have any.
11:30The people who flocked around me were only there for the Romano family's power and influence.
11:35Now that I'd been cast out, who would bother with me?
11:38As dusk fell, I dragged my suitcase aimlessly through the streets.
11:43Finally, I found an empty bench in Central Park and sat down.
11:47The night grew deep.
11:48The park was quiet, save for the distant hum of traffic.
11:51I hugged my knees, counting down the days until the wedding.
11:55I couldn't keep living on the streets.
11:58As I worried, a few drunk men staggered toward me.
12:02Hey, beautiful.
12:04All alone?
12:06Stay away from me.
12:08Come on, have a drink with us.
12:11I stepped back, but the bench blocked my escape.
12:15Just then, a low, menacing voice cut through the air.
12:19She's with me.
12:20I turned.
12:21Vincent was stepping out of the shadows, his face a thunderous mask of fury.
12:26The drunks took one look at his imposing presence and scrambled away.
12:30Vincent strode toward me, his gaze taking in my suitcases, then the bench.
12:35Homeless, and you still won't come to me?
12:39Vincent drove me back to his mansion in Manhattan.
12:42I knew this house all too well.
12:45Every corner held a memory of our bodies tangled together.
12:50Vincent reached for my suitcase, about to take it to my usual bedroom.
12:54Don't, I said, heading straight for a guest room.
12:57I'm only staying for 12 days.
12:59This is fine.
13:00You can stay as long as you want.
13:02I put my suitcase in the guest room and closed the door.
13:05I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my phone.
13:0812 more days, and I would leave New York forever.
13:15The next morning, I went downstairs.
13:17Vincent was already in the dining room.
13:19He saw me and gestured to the seat across from him.
13:23I sat.
13:25A maid brought me milk and toast.
13:28Vincent, he looked up, his gaze calm behind his glasses.
13:32I found out yesterday.
13:33What is Isabella to you?
13:35A high school classmate.
13:37She took a bullet for me once, saved my life.
13:40She's been recovering in Europe ever since.
13:42Really?
13:42Just a classmate?
13:44A savior?
13:45Is it that simple?
13:46Sophia, I don't want you targeting her just because she has returned to the Romano family.
13:52Is that a warning?
13:55It's a reminder.
13:57Isabella's health is fragile.
13:59She can't handle any trouble.
14:01I nodded, saying nothing more.
14:03Vincent was more direct in his defense of Isabella than I had ever imagined.
14:07I understand.
14:08I'm going upstairs.
14:10What else was there to ask?
14:14I stayed in the guest room all day.
14:16The maid brought lunch and dinner to my door.
14:19I didn't go down.
14:20That night, I lay in bed, unable to sleep.
14:25Usually, Vincent would open the door around this time, push me down without a word,
14:30and grip my waist while calling me princess.
14:34But tonight?
14:36Nothing.
14:37His first love was back.
14:39Of course he won't want me anymore.
14:44On Saturday, he forced me to go to a party.
14:46It didn't look like any mafia gathering I'd ever been to.
14:50Before I could ask, I heard a familiar voice.
14:53Vincent!
14:54You're finally here!
14:55Isabella, in a white evening gown, fluttered over like a butterfly.
14:59She saw me, and her expression faltered for a fraction of a second before she plastered
15:03on a sweet smile.
15:05Sophia's here, too!
15:06That's wonderful!
15:08I glanced around and saw a large banner that read,
15:10Welcome home, Isabella.
15:12It was a welcome party.
15:13For her.
15:14Vincent had brought me to Isabella's welcome home party.
15:17I turned to leave, but Isabella stopped me.
15:20Sophia, what's wrong?
15:21Are you not feeling well?
15:23I heard you moved out of your house.
15:25Is it because of me?
15:26I'm so sorry.
15:28I had no idea Uncle Ramona would let me stay in your room.
15:31Her voice was soft and gentle, but loud enough for everyone around us to hear.
15:34A few guests looked my way with questioning eyes.
15:38It's fine.
15:39It's just a room.
15:41But Uncle Romano said you even need your disowned him.
15:45It's all my fault.
15:46If I hadn't come back...
15:48Isabella, the reason I disowned him has nothing to do with an outsider like you.
15:54Isabella's tears began to fall.
15:55She looked pitifully at Vincent.
15:57Vincent walked over, shot me a warning look.
16:00Don't cry.
16:02Your eyes will get swollen.
16:04He took out a handkerchief and dabbed at her tears.
16:06Isabella's tears turned to a smile.
16:08You're so good to me, Vincent.
16:11I watched them all night.
16:13He pulled out her chair.
16:15He brought her drinks.
16:16He fixed her dress.
16:18A sharp pain pierced my heart.
16:21In ten days.
16:22I thought Vincent was just a cold man who didn't know how to be romantic.
16:27I was wrong.
16:28He's not cold.
16:29He just wasn't willing to do those things for me.
16:32I turned and walked to the bar, grabbed a glass of champagne, and downed most of it in one go.
16:41After the party, I stood alone outside the club, waiting for a car.
16:46Isabella came out, with Vincent carefully helping her walk.
16:50Sophia, I'm so sorry about what happened earlier.
16:53I twisted my ankle so suddenly, Vincent couldn't get to you.
16:58It looks like you handled it well.
17:00She glanced at my injured hand, a flash of triumph in her eyes.
17:05I did.
17:05I've always been good at handling my own problems.
17:08That's good.
17:09To be honest, I was a little worried when Vincent brought you tonight.
17:12After all, you two used to...
17:15Used to what?
17:17You don't actually think Vincent has special feelings for you, do you?
17:21Sophia, dear.
17:23Vincent just pities you.
17:24You're homeless now, so he took you in out of charity.
17:28That's all.
17:29Isabella's eyes were sharp and malicious.
17:31Is that so?
17:32Of course.
17:34Vincent only has room in his heart for me.
17:37It's been that way since high school.
17:39That will never change.
17:41Just then, a black sedan lost control and sped straight toward us.
17:45In a split second, Vincent lunged forward and threw his arms around Isabella,
17:50shielding her with his body.
17:51And me?
17:52I was struck hard by the out-of-control car and thrown violently to the ground.
17:59As the car hit me, my consciousness began to fade.
18:03Pain shot through my entire body.
18:05But what hurt more was the absolute crushing despair of being abandoned.
18:11Flashes of memory flooded my mind.
18:14I remember the first time he pinned me down, calling me princess.
18:20I remember the nights in his arms, listening to the steady beat of his heart,
18:24thinking I had finally found my home.
18:27But the last thing I saw was the truth.
18:30Vincent diving for her, leaving me to face the crash alone.
18:34The final image was frozen in my mind.
18:38Vincent, without a moment's hesitation, diving to protect Isabella.
18:42And me, like some disposable bystander, left to face the danger, all alone.
18:49When I finally opened my eyes, I was in a hospital bed.
18:53It was quiet.
18:55But I could hear them talking just outside my curtain.
18:59Vincent's voice was so gentle.
19:01It sounded like a stranger's voice.
19:04Are you okay?
19:05Isabella softly said yes.
19:07She asked him,
19:09Vincent, if it happened again, you'd still save me first?
19:15Right.
19:16Vincent didn't even hesitate.
19:18Of course.
19:19Sophia has no reason to be angry.
19:21In an emergency, I'm obviously are going to save the more fragile person.
19:25She understands that.
19:28After Vincent left, the room was quiet.
19:30But not for long.
19:32The door creaked open, and there she was.
19:36Isabella sat by my bed, with a poisonous smile.
19:40She told me a story about high school.
19:42About how she was Vincent's first love.
19:45She told me she took a bullet for him, during an ambush.
19:49And ever since, Vincent has been consumed with guilt.
19:53He promised to spend the rest of his life, making it up to her.
19:57Then she leaned in, her voice turning venomous.
20:01She told me that, while she was away, she lied to Vincent.
20:04She told him, I was mistreating her mother.
20:07Vincent didn't discipline you because he was forced to.
20:10He asked for the job.
20:11He wanted to break me to get revenge for her.
20:14I felt my blood turn to ice.
20:17But it got worse.
20:19Isabella pulled out her phone and asked,
20:21Did you know that every single time you two were together, it was being recorded?
20:26Vincent installed hidden cameras in the bedroom.
20:30He filmed our most private moment sentence just to give her leverage to control me.
20:36Vincent never loved you.
20:37He was just completing a mission.
20:39And now, he's going to marry me.
20:43I couldn't stay in that hospital bed for another second.
20:48I jumped into a cab and headed straight to Vincent and Jim.
20:52I had to know.
20:54I had to see if the man I loved was actually the monster Isabella described.
20:58I ran into his study and punched the code into the hidden wall.
21:03It slid open to reveal a room full of monitors and computers.
21:07My hand shook as I found the folder labeled Sophia.
21:10I clicked it.
21:11There they were.
21:12Hundreds of videos.
21:13Every night we spent together.
21:15Every I love you, I whispered in his arms.
21:18He had recorded it all in high definition.
21:21I crumpled to the floor.
21:23It was all true.
21:24I called my father, my voice breaking.
21:28I asked him, 10 years ago, did Vincent offer to discipline me?
21:32My father didn't even hesitate.
21:34He told me Vincent gave him a $200 million project just for the chance to take me under his wing.
21:41Vincent didn't love me.
21:43He bought me.
21:44He slept with me and controlled me just to get revenge.
21:49I started to laugh.
21:51It was a hysterical, broken sound.
21:55I went to the bedroom and grabbed my suitcase, along with my flight ticket, to a city where he will
22:00never find me.
22:02On my way out, I picked up a solid gold lighter, the first gift Vincent ever gave me.
22:08I used to think it was a symbol of love, but now I realize it was just a mark on
22:12his prey.
22:13I flicked the lighter open and tossed it onto the heavy silk curtains.
22:17I watched the flames grow, devouring the memories, the lies, and the girl who once loved him so deeply.
22:26The sky was a hellish red as fire trucks surrounded the mansion.
22:29I watched it burn.
22:31A message popped up when I turned on my phone.
22:34It was Vincent.
22:34I heard you burned the house.
22:36Do you feel better now, my princess?
22:38I didn't reply.
22:39I was about to catch my flight.
22:41I received another message from him.
22:43Stay home and wait for me.
22:44I have something to tell you.
22:46I turned off my phone, whispered to the empty air.
22:49We'll never see each other again.
22:51I threw my phone out the window and watched it shatter.
22:54Now he has no way to find me.
22:56At the airport, I sat by the window.
22:58Outside, I saw his private jet on the tarmac.
23:00I accidentally saw his silhouette walking up the stairs, heading to another city for his meeting.
23:05My flight was called.
23:06I realized then, there were two planes on that runway, pointed in completely opposite directions.
23:14Vincent walked out of the mafia meeting and loosened his tie.
23:18After three days of high-stakes negotiations, he'd finally taken several more ports.
23:24The Porsini territory had finally fallen.
23:27He was at the top of his game.
23:29He turned on his phone for the first time in 72 hours, and the screen lit up with 99 missed
23:36messages from Isabella.
23:37But his eyes went straight to the only one that mattered, a single message from Sophia.
23:42He tapped it, expecting her usual sass.
23:45Instead, his blood went cold.
23:47It was a bank notification.
23:50Transfer received $813,000.
23:55The memo simply read,
23:57Settlement for medical and living expenses.
24:00No, I miss you.
24:01No, where have you been?
24:02Just a final bill, paid in full.
24:04That was the total amount of Vincent's money I had spent over the last three years.
24:08I transferred it to him back.
24:10Vincent almost laughed from frustration.
24:13He typed back,
24:15You think I need your money?
24:19Do we really need to settle accounts like this?
24:27He waited for the reply he knew would come in seconds.
24:30But the chat window stayed silent.
24:33Ten minutes passed.
24:35Nothing.
24:37He called her, only to hear a cold, robotic voice say,
24:41The number you have dialed is not the same.
24:47For a second, Vincent froze.
24:49He thought of Sophia, how she looked when she snuggled into his arms at night,
24:53her long lashes against her skin.
24:55He looked at her profile picture, a proud cat that looked exactly like her.
24:59He smiled, thinking she was just playing hard to get.
25:02He sent one last message.
25:04Be at the airport to pick me up.
25:05He stared at his phone, waiting for her to say no, or fine.
25:10But the message stayed on read.
25:12For the first time in his life, the ruthless crime boss felt a chill run down his spine.
25:18He was used to her defiance, but he wasn't prepared for her silence.
25:22On the drive back, Vincent sat in the back seat, holding a velvet jewelry box.
25:28Inside was the pearl necklace Sophia had begged for.
25:32The one he had refused to help her buy at the auction.
25:35His driver, Marshall, finally spoke up.
25:37Boss, I think she still heard about the auction.
25:42But if she knew you went through all this trouble to find the real necklace for her, she'd be so
25:46moved.
25:47Vincent looked at the box.
25:49He pictured Sophia's defiant, beautiful face.
25:55Would she?
25:55Marshall kept going, talking about how Sophia was actually kind and sweet, even when she tried to act tough.
26:01But then the temperature in the car dropped.
26:03Vincent's face turned terrifyingly dark.
26:06He looked at Marshall in the mirror and asked,
26:08Do you like her?
26:09Marshall's hand shook so hard the car almost swerved off the road.
26:13Vincent demanded,
26:15Tell me the truth.
26:16Marshall took a deep breath and admitted it.
26:18Who wouldn't be drawn to someone like her?
26:21But I know she only has eyes for you, boss.
26:24I've only ever admired her from afar.
26:27Vincent calmed down slightly.
26:28But then Marshall found a sudden burst of courage.
26:31He looked at the most powerful boss in the territory and said,
26:34But boss, I hope you treat her better.
26:36You can't protect Isabella one moment, then try to be sweet to Sophia the next.
26:41She deserves a love that is all or nothing.
26:44Vincent narrowed his eyes, his voice dangerous.
26:47What are you implying?
26:49Exactly what it sounds like.
26:50Boss, I've always wanted to ask,
26:52Who do you really love?
26:54Is it Isabella or is it Sophia?
27:00Sophia, of course.
27:02The moment the words left Vincent's mouth,
27:05Marco slammed on the brakes.
27:08The tires screeched against the pavement.
27:11Sorry, boss!
27:12Marco apologized hastily, his back slick with a cold sweat.
27:16To his surprise, Vincent wasn't angry.
27:18He just lifted his cold gaze,
27:21studying his assistant in the rearview mirror.
27:26Does my answer shock you that much?
27:29Marco's hands trembled on the wheel.
27:31Shocked was an understatement.
27:33It turned everything he thought he knew on its head.
27:37He didn't dare say it aloud,
27:39opting for a more tactful response.
27:45But I've seen you treat Miss Isabella so well,
27:48even better than you treat Miss Sophia.
27:52Vincent pressed his long fingers to his temples
27:54and leaned back into the leather seat.
27:57That's because she took a bullet for me.
28:00He closed his eyes,
28:02memories flooding back.
28:05In high school,
28:06he was known at St. Louis Preparatory Academy
28:09as the Ice Prince.
28:11As the Marcelli heir,
28:12daughters from every major family
28:14vied for his attention daily.
28:17The most extreme incident involved
28:19the Torino family's daughter,
28:20arranging roses in a heart shape
28:22at the school gate to declare her feelings.
28:25Every girl wanted him.
28:27To make them stop,
28:28he needed a fake girlfriend.
28:30He conceded it was a practical solution.
28:33But who?
28:34His gaze swept across the courtyard
28:36and landed on Isabella,
28:37reading in the library.
28:39From then on,
28:40he started singling her out.
28:41He let her rest her head on his shoulder in class,
28:44had her accompany him everywhere,
28:46and tacitly allowed the high society rumors about them
28:49to circulate.
28:50The effect was immediate.
28:52The other families backed off.
28:54On graduation day,
28:56Isabella asked him to meet on the school roof.
28:58As they were leaving,
28:59an assassin from a rival family appeared.
29:02A dark gun barrel aimed right at him.
29:05In that critical moment,
29:06Isabella shoved him out of the way.
29:10The gunshot echoed.
29:11He saw Isabella fall like a broken kite,
29:14blood gushing from her chest.
29:16In the hospital,
29:17the pale-faced girl whispered weakly,
29:19Vincent,
29:21I don't regret it.
29:22The doctor said the bullet had grazed her heart.
29:25She'd nearly died.
29:26Out of guilt,
29:28he had granted nearly every request
29:30she'd made over the years.
29:31The only thing he was grateful for
29:33was Isabella's comment,
29:34I want that little Romano princess
29:36to never dare bully my mother again.
29:39Which led him to propose
29:41disciplining Sophia
29:42to Don Romano himself.
29:44At the thought,
29:45a smile involuntarily touched Vincent's lips.
29:48Vincent remembered the first time he saw Sophia,
29:51like it was yesterday.
29:52She burst into his study like a flash of red,
29:55leaning against the door
29:56with a smirk.
29:57A princess shouldn't have to wait.
29:59In that moment,
30:00she was like a flame,
30:01burning through his cold,
30:03black and white world.
30:04His heart skipped a beat,
30:05even if he didn't show it for years.
30:08She was a wild cat.
30:09She put laxatives in his whiskey,
30:12and turned his million-dollar contracts
30:14into paper airplanes.
30:16He loved every minute of the chase.
30:19He remembered the night
30:20he finally pinned her to his desk.
30:22That night,
30:23Sophia was furious,
30:25struggling beneath him.
30:26Her miniskirt pushed up to her waist,
30:28panties already torn
30:29and dangling from one ankle.
30:31You bastard!
30:33Let me go!
30:34But Vincent only smirked coldly,
30:36one hand pinning both her wrists above her head,
30:40while the other roughly spread her legs.
30:42My princess.
30:44Sophia screamed,
30:45her body clenching violently around him
30:48as he took her hard and deep,
30:49the heavy desk creaking
30:51under their violent rhythm.
30:52He took her again and again,
30:54until her angry curses
30:56turned into broken moans,
30:57and her legs wrapped around his waist
30:59involuntarily.
31:01She was furious,
31:03calling him a bastard,
31:04but he just whispered,
31:05My princess.
31:06He took her again and again,
31:08but he never said the word love.
31:11Vincent realized he had kept his feelings buried
31:13because he was afraid.
31:15He was afraid if he confessed his love,
31:17she would take it for granted,
31:19or worse,
31:20get bored and run away.
31:22But sitting on his private jet,
31:24he couldn't stop thinking about her.
31:26He remembered how she secretly left warm water
31:29by his bed when he was sick,
31:31even when she was mad at him.
31:34His throat tightened.
31:36For the first time,
31:37he was desperate to get home.
31:40The plane landed in the middle.
31:42Vincent walked down the steps,
31:44his eyes searching for that familiar sight.
31:47Every time he returned,
31:49Sophia was there in a bright dress,
31:51waving at him,
31:52before flying into his arms like a happy bird.
31:56He could almost feel her hug already.
31:58He was ready to pull her into the car
32:01and never let her go.
32:02Vincent.
32:03A smile started to spread across his face,
32:06but as he turned,
32:07his smile froze.
32:09It was Isabella.
32:11She looked fragile and sweet,
32:13but Vincent's body went stiff.
32:16He pushed her away gently and asked,
32:19What are you doing here?
32:21Isabella pouted,
32:22telling him she had come especially to pick him up.
32:25Aren't you happy to see me?
32:27Vincent gave a polite answer,
32:29but he didn't even take her hand.
32:30His mind was miles away.
32:32He was thinking about Sophia.
32:34She hadn't shown up.
32:35He figured she was still sulking about him.
32:38He started making a mental list of gifts to fix things.
32:42Isabella begged him to follow her to a special place.
32:45Wanting to get it over with,
32:46he agreed.
32:48But when the ballroom doors opened at a luxury hotel,
32:51Vincent froze.
32:52The room was a sea of white roses,
32:54champagne towers,
32:56and heart-shaped balloons.
32:57It was a perfect setting for a romantic proposal.
33:00The elite guests turned to him with knowing smiles.
33:02Vincent realized it instantly.
33:04This was a trap.
33:06Just as he turned to find an exit,
33:07the large screen suddenly lit up.
33:09It showed Vincent in high school,
33:11letting Isabella rest her head on his shoulder.
33:13Then a photo of him holding an umbrella over her in the rain.
33:16To the crowd,
33:16it looked like a perfect, lifelong romance.
33:19But Vincent stood in the back,
33:21his face a mask of stone.
33:23Isabella walked onto the stage blushing.
33:25She told the room how Vincent had watched her in the library,
33:28how he only ever took drinks from her hand,
33:30and how everyone called them a perfect match.
33:33I've always been in love with you.
33:35The crowd gasped.
33:37They were sure he was about to propose.
33:39Isabella pulled out a jewelry box.
33:41She was certain he felt the same way.
33:43because he had granted her every wish for years.
33:45But Vincent's eyes grew ice cold.
33:47Before she could ask the question,
33:49Vincent strode onto the stage.
33:51The room went dead silent.
33:52He looked her right in the eyes and said,
33:57Isabella,
33:58I can grant you anything you want,
34:00but not this.
34:02I am not in love with you.
34:10Isabella's voice shot up,
34:12the color draining from her face.
34:14What's it?
34:15What are you saying?
34:17You don't love me?
34:19How is that possible?
34:21You clearly remember everything.
34:24I apologize for the misunderstanding.
34:26Back then,
34:27my associates' daughters were a nuisance.
34:29I needed a shield.
34:30A shield?
34:31He paused,
34:32then continued.
34:32As compensation,
34:34I deposited half a million dollars
34:35into your account every year.
34:37I thought we had an understanding
34:39that it was a transaction.
34:41That was my debt to you.
34:42His gaze rested calmly
34:43on her pale face.
34:45But that's all there is to it.
34:46The room erupted.
34:48The envious glances
34:49instantly turned to mockery and contempt.
34:52Whispers rushed toward Isabella
34:53like a tidal wave.
34:55I knew it.
34:56A man of Vincent's status
34:58would never fall for someone
34:59from the Torino family.
35:00She acted like it was real,
35:02but it was all in her head.
35:03I heard her mother used her looks
35:04to marry into the Romano family.
35:06Like mother,
35:07like daughter, I suppose.
35:08Always trying to climb
35:09the social ladder.
35:10Every word was a knife
35:12in Isabella's heart.
35:13Her reputation was everything.
35:16She had planned this
35:17for three months,
35:18inviting all of New York's
35:20high society,
35:21determined to become
35:22Mrs. Marcelli
35:23in the most glamorous way possible.
35:25But now,
35:26she trembled,
35:27her nails digging deep
35:28into her poems.
35:29If Vincent didn't love her,
35:31then who did he love?
35:32A terrible thought surfaced.
35:34Could it be Sophia?
35:36The next second,
35:37Vincent was turning to leave.
35:39She clung to his sleeve
35:40with the last shred
35:41of her dignity.
35:42Vincent!
35:45Vincent!
35:46In all these years,
35:48did you really never
35:50feel anything for me?
35:53No, never.
35:55Those two words
35:56stabbed Isabella
35:57through the heart.
35:58Her legs gave out
35:59and she collapsed
36:00onto the stage.
36:01Her perfectly coiffed hair
36:02came undone.
36:03Her makeup streaked
36:04with tears.
36:05Amid the pointing
36:06and whispering,
36:07Vincent walked out
36:08of the ballroom
36:09without a single look back,
36:10striding toward
36:11the black car
36:12waiting outside.
36:13Marco was already there
36:14with the gifts
36:14he'd been asked to prepare.
36:16Boss,
36:16it's all ready.
36:18The sapphire necklace
36:19and Miss Sophia's
36:20favorite Italian chocolates.
36:29Vincent took out his phone
36:31and texted Sophia.
36:32Come to the Long Island Villa.
36:34I have something for you.
36:36No reply.
36:37He called her,
36:39still off.
36:39Frowning slightly,
36:40he sent another text.
36:42Still mad?
36:43The messages went out,
36:44one after another,
36:46meeting only silence.
36:47Vincent rubbed his temples
36:48and sent one more.
36:49You burned down the mansion.
36:52If you're still not satisfied,
36:54do you want to burn
36:55another one?
36:55After a long wait,
36:57the phone remained quiet.
36:58Still no response.
36:59His patience finally snapped.
37:01Vincent dialed
37:02Don Romano's number
37:03directly.
37:04Vincent?
37:06Didn't you know?
37:07Sophia,
37:08I already married her off
37:09to Sterling family.
37:11The phone slipped
37:12from Vincent's hand.
37:14The convoy sped
37:16to the Romano estate.
37:17Vincent kicked the front door open
37:19and stormed inside.
37:20Don Romano was sitting
37:21on a leather sofa
37:22sipping whiskey.
37:23He was so shocked,
37:25he almost dropped his glass.
37:26Vincent?
37:27What are you doing here?
37:29You married Sophia
37:29off to Sterling family
37:30in Boston?
37:31Vincent bit out
37:32each word.
37:34I did.
37:36You were always
37:37complaining about
37:38how much trouble
37:38she was, right?
37:41And the Sterling family's
37:43sickly heir
37:44was offering
37:44500 million
37:45for an alliance.
37:47So I married her off.
37:51Now you and Isabella
37:52can finally be together
37:54without anyone
37:55bothering you.
37:58Who told you
37:59I love Isabella?
38:01Vincent slammed his fist
38:03on the marble coffee table
38:04and the entire slab
38:05cracked in two.
38:06Men, tear this place apart.
38:08Two dozen men
38:09in black suits
38:10swarmed in
38:10and in an instant
38:11porcelain,
38:13furniture,
38:13and paintings
38:14were reduced
38:15to badness.
38:18Don Romano's face
38:19went pale.
38:19Vincent!
38:20What are you doing?
38:22As of today,
38:23the Romano family
38:23is finished.
38:24No!
38:25Vincent!
38:26You can't do this!
38:28Don Romano
38:28scrambled forward
38:29pleading.
38:32Think of the history
38:34between our families.
38:36Just then,
38:36Isabella rushed in.
38:38Vincent!
38:40Vincent!
38:41Why are you doing this
38:42to my father?
38:43Realization dawned on her
38:45and she screamed hysterically.
38:46You fell in love
38:47with Sophia,
38:48didn't you?
38:49I did.
38:50So what?
38:51Isabella looked as if
38:52she'd been struck
38:53by lightning
38:53then burst
38:54into manic laughter.
38:58But she's never
38:59coming back.
39:01You love her,
39:02but you never said it
39:04so everyone thought
39:05you loved me!
39:08Isabella's smile
39:09was twisted.
39:10I paid your maids
39:11to fill your study
39:12with my pictures.
39:13Do you think
39:14Sophia never saw them?
39:16Why do you think
39:17she burned down
39:17the mansion?
39:18Because I told her
39:19you recorded
39:20your private moments
39:21together to use
39:21as blackmail!
39:23She wasn't forced
39:24to marry him!
39:25She gave up on you
39:26completely!
39:28She chose
39:28to marry someone else!
39:31She'll never come back!
39:32Every word
39:33was a dagger
39:34twisting in Vincent's heart.
39:35He thought about
39:36Sophia's recent behavior.
39:37The lack of tantrums,
39:39the silence,
39:40the way she walked away
39:41from the fire
39:41without a second glance.
39:43So,
39:43she had seen the photos.
39:45She had heard the rumors.
39:46She had lost
39:47all hope in him.
39:48As for the recordings,
39:49he had made them,
39:50but only to watch
39:51them himself.
39:52He remembered
39:53how she looked
39:53in the throes of passion,
39:55the stubborn way
39:55she bit her lip
39:56to keep from crying out,
39:58the flush
39:58that crept up her neck
39:59when she came.
40:00He couldn't bring himself
40:01to delete those memories.
40:02But now,
40:03they had all become
40:04weapons used against her.
40:07Isabella,
40:08you will pay for this.
40:10He turned,
40:11his voice as cold
40:12as the grave.
40:13Get the jet ready,
40:15we're going to Boston.
40:16Now!
40:19Sophia sat in her room,
40:21staring blankly
40:22at the mountains
40:22of luxury goods.
40:23From the day she arrived
40:25at the Sterling Estate,
40:26a non-stop stream
40:27of items
40:28had been brought to her.
40:29Sophia finally held up
40:30a hand.
40:31Look at this room.
40:32Is there any space left?
40:34The maids exchanged glances.
40:36One of them immediately
40:37pressed her earpiece
40:38and whispered,
40:39Young Master,
40:40Miss Sophia says
40:41the room is too small.
40:42I held...
40:43Sophia deadpanned.
40:44That's not what I meant!
40:46The young master's orders
40:47were to spend
40:48without limit.
40:49Sophia pressed her hand
40:50to her forehead.
40:51Does your young master
40:52usually throw money
40:54away like this?
40:54The maid said seriously.
40:56The young master
40:56is very wealthy.
40:58For the Sterling family,
41:00this is just pocket change.
41:02Sophia took a deep breath
41:03and finally asked
41:04the question
41:05that had been on her mind
41:06for days.
41:07I've been here
41:07for almost a week.
41:09May I meet
41:10your young master?
41:10The maid hesitated.
41:11The young master said,
41:12he's not mentally prepared yet.
41:15Sophia laughed in disbelief.
41:16He married me
41:17and he's not prepared?
41:19Fine,
41:20then I'm leaving.
41:21The moment the words
41:22left her mouth,
41:23all the maids
41:24suddenly stood at attention,
41:25bowing respectfully.
41:27Young master.
41:28Sophia froze
41:29and turned toward the door.
41:31Footsteps approached
41:32and a tall,
41:33slender figure appeared.
41:37Sophia was stunned.
41:38This was Alexander Sterling,
41:40the supposedly dying heir?
41:43He looked healthy enough
41:43to take on a dozen assassins
41:45single-handedly.
41:46Mr. Sterling,
41:47care to explain?
41:48I'm sorry.
41:48The truth is,
41:49I'm not sick.
41:50I was just too scared
41:51to meet you.
41:52I've been waiting for you
41:53since I was a child.
41:55I've loved you for so long.
41:56You said you've been in love
41:57with me for a long time?
41:59Ten years ago,
42:00at the yacht party
42:00in the Hamptons.
42:01Have we met?
42:04Have you forgotten
42:04who you saved?
42:05Sophia froze.
42:08Her memory pulled back
42:09a decade.
42:10At that party,
42:11she had been on the deck
42:12when she heard a splash.
42:14A young boy
42:15had fallen overboard.
42:16before anyone else
42:18could react,
42:19she had dived in
42:19after him.
42:20After swallowing
42:21several mouthfuls
42:22of seawater,
42:23she finally dragged him
42:25back to the deck.
42:27She'd asked,
42:28soaked to the bone
42:29but ignoring herself
42:30as she knelt
42:31to perform first aid.
42:36The little boy
42:37coughed up water
42:38and opened his eyes,
42:40his lashes
42:40beaded with moisture.
42:48she had taken off
42:49her jacket
42:50and wrapped it
42:50around his shivering
42:51body.
42:54Are you okay?
42:55The boy had clutched
42:56her jacket,
42:56his eyes shining
42:57like stars.
42:59Sophia snapped back
43:00to the present,
43:01staring at Alexander
43:02in disbelief.
43:03That little kid
43:04who fell in the water?
43:06That was you?
43:07Yes.
43:08The tips of Alexander's
43:09ears flushed.
43:11I've been looking
43:11for you for ten years.
43:13Sophia suddenly laughed.
43:14But you were only
43:15twelve then
43:15and I was sixteen.
43:17I'm four years
43:17older than you.
43:18Because you were
43:19like an angel.
43:20You saved me
43:22and you were so gentle.
43:23His eyes were so clear
43:24without a trace
43:25of pretense.
43:26Princess,
43:27I truly love you.
43:29I didn't mean
43:30to deceive you.
43:31If you want to leave,
43:33the 500 be still yours
43:35and I'll let you go.
43:36But if you're willing
43:37to give me a chance,
43:39let me give you a home.
43:42I'll spend my entire life
43:43treating you right.
43:44The word home
43:45struck a deep chord
43:46in Sophia's heart.
43:47Maybe she could try?
43:49At least here,
43:50someone loved her
43:50with all their heart.
43:52In the days that followed,
43:53Alexander treated Sophia
43:54like the center
43:55of the universe.
43:56She casually mentioned
43:57a craving for Italian food
43:58and half an hour later,
44:00a three-star Michelin chef
44:02and his entire team
44:03were at their door.
44:04She frowned in her sleep
44:06and Alexander had
44:07all the carpets in the villa
44:08replaced with a softer material.
44:10Most importantly,
44:11the entire Sterling family
44:12adored her.
44:13She hadn't felt
44:14this cherished in years.
44:15Her new life
44:16felt like a dream
44:17until a maid
44:18reported breathlessly.
44:19Madam!
44:20Madam!
44:21Mr. Vincent is here.
44:22He's asking to see you.
44:26The magazine in Sophia's hand
44:28fell to the floor.
44:31She looked up
44:32and met Alexander's
44:33tense gaze.
44:34He put down the strawberry
44:35he was holding,
44:37his voice tight.
44:38Princess,
44:39do you want to see him?
44:40Sophia looked at his
44:41tense profile
44:42and suddenly smiled.
44:43No.
44:44She reached out
44:45and poked his cheek.
44:46Keep feeding me strawberries.
44:48Alexander's eyes lit up
44:49and he immediately
44:51turned back
44:51into her loyal puppy,
44:53carefully feeding
44:54her strawberries
44:54one by one.
44:56On Sophia's birthday,
44:58Alexander threw
44:58a lavish party.
45:00When Alexander
45:00took her hand,
45:02led her onto the stage
45:03and announced
45:03he was transferring
45:0450% of his company
45:06shares to her,
45:07the entire room
45:08gasped.
45:09Is he crazy?
45:11That's billions!
45:13Sophia tugged
45:13on his sleeve.
45:15What are you doing?
45:17Alexander looked down
45:18at her,
45:18his eyes shining.
45:20If I wasn't afraid
45:20of burdening you,
45:21I would have given
45:22you 100%.
45:23Someone in the crowd
45:24started chanting,
45:25kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss!
45:28The tips of Alexander's ears
45:30turned bright red
45:31Il s'arrêtait à Sofia tentatively.
45:34Just as he leaned in to kiss her,
45:36the ballroom doors were kicked open.
45:37Everyone froze.
45:39Vincent stood in the doorway,
45:41impeccably dressed,
45:42but his eyes were terrifyingly dark.
45:44His gaze was fixed on Sofia
45:46and Alexander's intertwined hands,
45:48as if he wanted to burn a hole
45:50right through them.
45:52Almost instantly,
45:54Alexander pulled Sofia into his arms,
45:56shielding her with his body.
45:57But Sofia was surprisingly calm.
46:00She looked at Vincent and smiled.
46:02Mr. Marcelli,
46:04what brings you here?
46:05A wedding gift?
46:06Her words were a knife,
46:08stabbing deep into Vincent's chest.
46:10His jaw tightened, veins standing out on his neck.
46:13His voice was raw.
46:14Sofia, come back with me.
46:16Sofia's smile widened.
46:19Go back to what?
46:20To watch you take care of Isabella?
46:22I don't love Isabella. I love you!
46:25The guest gasped,
46:26and the whispers erupted.
46:27He really is here to crash the wedding?
46:30His voice was low.
46:33Let's talk somewhere else.
46:35Alexander sneered.
46:37Mr. Marcelli, you're not welcome here.
46:39But Sofia gently placed a hand on his.
46:42It's okay.
46:42I'll make things clear.
46:44Inside the black car, Sofia sat in the passenger seat,
46:47calmly looking out the window.
46:49Vincent was in the driver's seat,
46:51his tie crooked, his eyes bloodshot.
46:53He had never looked so disheveled.
46:55The recordings...
46:56I made them, but not to blackmail you.
46:59I just...
47:00wanted to keep them for myself.
47:02He explained everything.
47:03One detail at a time.
47:05When he finished, Sofia just asked quietly.
47:10And...
47:10Vincent froze.
47:14And...
47:14Come back with me.
47:18Sofia, it's always been you.
47:20I love you.
47:22Vincent, you knew my situation,
47:25but you still chose to side with Isabella again and again.
47:29Even if you don't love her.
47:31The pain you caused me was real.
47:33And during that time, my feelings for you slowly died.
47:38I can't get them back.
47:40Vincent's fingers tightened on the steering wheel.
47:42His knuckles turning white.
47:44His voice shook.
47:45Sofia, I'm not a god.
47:47I made a mistake.
47:49Can't you allow me one mistake?
47:50Is the price for one mistake losing you forever?
47:53Sofia looked at him.
47:54Her gaze so calm, it was brutal.
47:57Yes.
47:58I don't hate you, but I won't love you again either.
48:01She took a gold-leafed invitation from her purse
48:04and handed it to him.
48:05My wedding to Alexander is in three days.
48:07With that, she opened the car door and walked toward Alexander,
48:11who was waiting by the road, never once looking back.
48:15Vincent sat in the car, watching her leave,
48:17and suddenly remembered the first time he saw her.
48:21She was in a red dress, proud and radiant.
48:24A fire that had burned its way into his black and white world.
48:29And now, that fire was gone.
48:33The day before the wedding, Sofia sat at the vanity in the bridal suite,
48:37her fingertips tracing the diamonds on her wedding dress.
48:40The sun was shining, and staff bustled outside,
48:42preparing for the ceremony.
48:44Everything seemed perfect.
48:45A soft knot came at the door.
48:47Princess?
48:48Alexander entered,
48:49filling a cup of warm herbal tea
48:51and a small, elegant velvet box.
48:54He was dressed in a well-fitted black suit,
48:56his eyes impossibly gentle.
48:59He said, placing the cup beside her,
49:01You barely touched your breakfast.
49:03Sofia looked up, a small smile on her lips.
49:06Thanks.
49:07Sofia opened the box.
49:09Inside were exquisite pieces of Italian chocolate.
49:13Alexander said softly,
49:14I heard you used to love the chocolates from this shop,
49:16Alexander said softly.
49:17I had them flown in from Milan.
49:19Sofia paused, surprised.
49:21She was about to speak,
49:23when the estate's security alarm began to shriek.
49:26Alexander frowned.
49:27A frantic voice came through.
49:29What's going on?
49:30Mr. Alexander,
49:30the system is breached.
49:31All surveillance and access controls...
49:33Alexander's face changed.
49:34Princess, stay here.
49:36Don't move.
49:37He hurried out, giving sharp orders in the hallway.
49:40Before she could react,
49:41the suite door was pushed open, soundlessly.
49:45A tall figure stood in the doorway.
49:47Vincent.
49:47Sofia shot to her feet,
49:49knocking over a bottle of perfume.
49:52Outside, a helicopter hovered,
49:54its rotor blades deafening.
49:56Sofia's eyes widened in horror.
49:58Vincent!
49:59This is kidnapping!
50:00So what if it is?
50:02You're mine.
50:03He sneered,
50:04leaping onto the balcony with her.
50:07I should have done this the first day I saw you.
50:10The wind howled,
50:11whipping her wedding dress around her.
50:13She looked back at the estate,
50:14and saw Alexander's distant figure being held back by several men in black.
50:18He seemed to be shouting her name.
50:20But the wind stole the sound.
50:22The helicopter landed on a private island at dawn.
50:25Vincent carried Sofia off the aircraft.
50:27The moment her feet touched the ground,
50:29she shoved him away.
50:30She sneered.
50:31Illegal confinement?
50:32Her wedding dress whipping in the sea breeze.
50:34When did Vincent Marcelli stoop to such low-life tactics?
50:37So what if I did?
50:39Vincent gave her a tour.
50:40He said, opening the French doors.
50:43Everything here is yours.
50:45The gardens, the pool, the library, even that ocean!
50:51I wanna go back.
50:52Sofia, let's start over.
50:55As if none of it ever happened.
50:57Vincent, when did you learn to lie to yourself?
51:00Sofia, I will make you become the person you used to be.
51:28Don't.
51:30Don't touch me.
51:31Vincent froze, his eyes filled with a storm of pain.
51:34Sofia, what do you want me to do?
51:36Sofia looked at him and suddenly smiled.
51:39Let me go.
51:41A maid entered.
51:43Madam, please drink some milk.
51:45When is he coming back?
51:47Mr. Vincent had to return to New York to handle the Marcelli family business.
51:52He would be back as soon as possible.
51:53The glass hit the wall, shattering.
51:56Sofia sneered.
51:57I am not your madam!
51:59Get out!
52:00A terrified maid scrambled out.
52:02Sofia bent down and picked up the sharpest shard of glass.
52:07Vincent handed his suit jacket to the maid.
52:11Where is she?
52:12In the master bedroom.
52:14Vincent pushed open the bedroom door, his face filled with terror.
52:17Sofia was sitting on the edge of the bed.
52:19A startling gash marked her wrist, blood dripping from her fingertips onto the carpet, staining it crimson.
52:26Vincent's pupils contracted.
52:28He rushed forward and seized her wrist.
52:30If you dare to die, I will make the entire Sterling family die with you.
52:34Sofia looked up, a mocking smile on her pale face.
52:37What will it take for you to finally let me go?
52:42Say you love me.
52:47In your dreams.
52:49Vincent stared at her, then suddenly smiled.
52:52A look that sent a chill down her spine.
52:55He let her go and turned to Marco.
52:58Contact the global media.
52:59Now.
53:00Marco froze.
53:01Boss, you mean...
53:04A livestream...
53:09Of my wedding to Sofia.
53:13Cameras were aimed at the bedroom's French doors.
53:16Vincent had changed into a black suit.
53:18Sofia was forced into a wedding dress.
53:21A silk ribbon hiding the wound on her wrist.
53:24Vincent gripped Sofia's waist and leaned in to kiss her.
53:27Sofia struggled, biting his lip hard enough to draw blood.
53:30Blood trickled from his mouth, dripping onto her white dress.
53:34The livestream cut out abruptly, but it was too late.
53:37The world was in an uproar.
53:39Sofia shoved him away, his blood staining her lips.
53:42Vincent!
53:42Are you insane?!
53:44Vincent wiped the blood from his mouth and laughed softly.
53:51Now, the whole world knows you're mine.
53:54Sofia looked at him and felt like she was looking at a stranger.
53:57On the 27th day of her captivity, Sofia learned to be obedient.
54:02He asked one morning, tying his tie by the bed.
54:06What do you want to eat today?
54:07Her voice was calm.
54:09Whatever you make.
54:09Vincent's fingers paused.
54:12A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, followed by a smile.
54:16Alright.
54:17He turned and went to the kitchen.
54:19The moment he was gone, Sofia threw back the covers and pulled a microcomputer from under the mattress, stolen from
54:26his study last week.
54:28She had breached the island's security system.
54:30An encrypted distress signal was sent.
54:34Three nights later, Sofia stood on the edge of a cliff.
54:37Hurried footsteps came from behind.
54:39Alexander had arrived for prison.
54:42He yelled, rushing toward her.
54:43Come with me!
54:44Sofia glanced back at the guards, chasing them, and suddenly smiled.
54:49Alexander?
54:50Are you afraid of heights?
54:51Before he could react, Sofia grabbed his hand and jumped off the cliff.
54:57Soaked to the bone, Sofia and Alexander struggled onto a small, hidden shore.
55:02Let's go!
55:03Alexander pulled her toward a wading speedboat.
55:06Just then, a blinding spotlight hit them.
55:08Vincent stood on the shore, flanked by dozens of guards.
55:12His voice was ice.
55:16Done running?
55:17Sofia shielded Alexander with her body.
55:20Vincent!
55:20Let him go!
55:21Vincent stared at her.
55:22I can.
55:23Then smiled faintly.
55:25But you have to stay.
55:27Before Sofia could answer, a loud rumbling came from the cliff above.
55:31A giant boulder had come loose, tumbling straight toward them.
55:35Watch out!
55:36Vincent lunged, shoving both of them out of the way.
55:39The boulder crashed down on his legs.
55:41Blood instantly stained the seawater red.
55:44The impact threw Sofia to the ground, and her head hit a rock.
55:49Her vision blackened, but she forced her eyes open.
55:53She saw Vincent lying in a pool of blood, his face ashen, his gaze locked on her.
55:58Sofia, are you okay?
56:01Vincers, let me go.
56:03Sofia's mouth opened, but her vision went dark.
56:08When Vincent woke up, the first thing he felt was a deep numbness in his legs.
56:13The doctor stood by his bed, his voice low.
56:16Mr. Marcelli, your spinal nerves are damaged.
56:19Your lower body's motor functions might be-
56:21He didn't finish, but the meaning was clear.
56:25Marco's eyes were red.
56:26I'll go tell Miss Sofia!
56:28If she knows you did this to save her-
56:31Shut up.
56:32Vincent cut him off coldly.
56:34No one says a word.
56:35He turned to look out the window, the sunlight stinging his eyes.
56:39He remembered the last thing he saw.
56:41Sofia, lying on the ground, pale.
56:43Vincent, let me go.
56:46Forcing out the words.
56:47In that moment, he finally understood a pain worse than death.
56:52Some mistakes, once made, truly meant losing the one you love forever.
56:56One month later, Vincent sat in his wheelchair, watching the news.
57:01Sterling Group CEO Alexander Sterling, an Italian social alt, married today in a grand ceremony.
57:07On the screen, Sofia was in a wedding dress, her smile brilliant.
57:11She used to smile at him like that, before he had sided with Isabella time and time again.
57:18The courier rang the doorbell while Vincent was sitting in the ruins of the burned-down mansion.
57:23Sir, a package for you.
57:25Vincent took it.
57:26It was a small box.
57:27Inside was a men's wedding band, exquisitely crafted.
57:32The inside was engraved, to Vincent, with all my love, S.
57:37There was also a card.
57:39Vincent's hand trembled.
57:42The ring fell to the ground with a soft clink.
57:46So, she had wanted to marry him.
57:49A tearing pain ripped through his chest.
57:51He doubled over, gasping for breath.
57:56A neighbor walked by and asked, curiously,
57:59Sir, this house is a ruin.
58:02Are you waiting for someone?
58:04Vincent looked up.
58:05Yes, I'm waiting.
58:07The setting sun illuminating his pale face.
58:09But he knew she was never coming back.
58:14The sun set, leaving him alone in the ruins.
58:17He lit a cigarette and looked toward the horizon, as if he could still hear that proud voice calling his
58:24name.
58:24Vinicent Marcelo
