AmusantTranscription
00:00To the world, I'm Sofia Romano, the family's wild, radiant princess.
00:05Vincent is the mafia air stoic, controlled, the very picture of restraint,
00:09but, every night, he grips my waist, fucking me until my legs go weak,
00:13while whispering my name, over and over.
00:16Princess.
00:16His movements drove into me so relentlessly, that I couldn't form a complete sentence.
00:22The words broke apart between ragged breaths,
00:24I could feel him clearly his solid presence, moving, within me, again, and again.
00:30Leaving me trembling.
00:31Fill me.
00:34My friends, I'm going to fill you up.
00:38With a low, restrained groan, he gave in to the moment, pulling me closer as everything came to a head.
00:45When it was over, we were left clinging to each other, breathing hard, suspended,
00:50in the fading echo of our shared climax.
00:52He just doesn't know that in two weeks, I'm marrying someone else.
00:56The sheets are still damp, with our shared heat.
00:58I, lie in bed.
01:00Catching my breath, as Vincent, rises, to dress, from my side of the bed,
01:05I watch his long fingers, deftly buttoning his shirt.
01:08Huh?
01:09Sang Tui?
01:10Family meeting.
01:11He says without turning, be good.
01:13Thought again.
01:14Then, I sit up, letting the sheet cool around my waist.
01:17Vincent's hands pause for a moment, before he moves to knot his tie.
01:21Vincent?
01:22Hmm.
01:23Nothing.
01:24He turns, leans down, and presses a kiss to my forehead.
01:28I'm leaving.
01:29The moment the door clicks shut, I snatch my phone, and dial a familiar number.
01:36Father, I accept the marriage alliance.
01:38In two weeks, I'll marry the dying sterling heir in Boston.
01:42But, I have one condition, on the other end of the line.
01:45Don Romano sounds ecstatic.
01:47Good.
01:48Name it.
01:49We'll talk in person.
01:50Vincent, I hang up, and my eyes fall on the phone Vincent left on the nightstand.
01:53The screen lights up, with a new message, from, Isabella.
01:57Vincent, thanks for coming with me to the hospital today.
02:00The doctor said, my recovery is going well, and it is all because of you.
02:04I D, love to, see a movie with you tomorrow, just like old times.
02:08It is followed by a kissing emoji.
02:10I stare at the message, my fingertips trembling.
02:14Vincent has never taken me to the hospital.
02:16Not even when I broke a rib during training.
02:25I get dressed and discreetly follow his car.
02:28He pulls up to a cozy Italian restaurant, on Mott Street.
02:31From a distance, I watch him stride toward a girl, in a white dress, Isabella.
02:36She is even thinner, than she appears in photos.
02:39Vincent reaches out, tucking, a wind-swept, strand of hair, behind her ear.
02:44I've never seen him look so gentle, except, when we're in bed.
02:48Three years ago, my father said to me to Vincent, the sight of his handsome, cold face made my knees
02:53weak.
02:54Sophia needs a proper education in how our family operates.
02:56She's too wild, you're the only one who can handle her.
02:58I was 19 then, fresh out of boarding school, and brimming with rebellion.
03:02I thought Vincent was just another man trying to tame me, so I decided I would tame him first.
03:07The first time we met, I wore a miniskirt to his office, just to provoke him.
03:12Vincent sat behind his desk, and didn't even bother to look up.
03:16Close your legs, Sophia.
03:18Why?
03:18Because the way you're sitting suggests the Romano family lacks class.
03:23I hiked my skirt even higher.
03:27How about now?
03:29Vincent finally looked up, his eyes cold behind his gold-rimmed glasses.
03:35Get out.
03:38For months, I did everything I could to get under his skin.
03:41I slipped flirtatious notes into his files, sabotaged missions he assigned, and even put a laxative in his whiskey.
03:47Vincent always cleaned up my messes with infuriating calm, then told me in that patternizing tone.
03:52Sophia, you're a smart girl.
03:53You need to apply that intelligence to the right things.
03:55Until that night, I drugged his drink, desperate to see what a Vincent without his iron control would look like.
04:01I just didn't expect to still be in the room when the drug took hold.
04:04What did you put in my drink?
04:09You've already guessed, haven't you?
04:11I met his searing gaze.
04:13Wanna try me?
04:15That night changed everything.
04:17Sophia, Vincent, Lee sent Princess.
04:20This will be our secret.
04:21He murmured, stroking my cheek.
04:23Princess, little princess.
04:25That was the word that made me fall completely.
04:28He pinned me to the bed, kissed my body.
04:30When his thick cock pressed against my clit, I could clearly feel just how massive it was.
04:34A wave of fear washed over me in an instant.
04:36Before I could even protest, he thrust all the way in with one powerful stroke.
04:40I gasped sharply sucking in a cold breath.
04:42Sophia, Vincent, please be gentle.
04:45I begged.
04:46Vincent, let me have you.
04:48All of you, princess.
04:49Then he began to move, slowly sliding in and out.
04:52With each steady thrust, pleasure gradually replaced the initial discomfort.
04:56My juices started flowing freely, soaking his thighs completely.
05:00So of the awe, harder.
05:01I'm mo-
05:01Feels good, doesn't it, my little princess?
05:04Deeper.
05:05Please, deeper.
05:06Vincent suddenly flipped me over, gripping my hips firmly as he pounded into me from behind.
05:11One hand reached around to roughly rub my swelling clit.
05:15His stamina was incredible.
05:16He fucked me for hours, driving me to orgasm again and again.
05:20For the next two years, we maintained this strange, clandestine relationship.
05:25By day, he was the same composed rational Vincent, but at night, he'd whisper princess
05:30in my ear and fuck me until my legs gave out.
05:33I thought he loved me.
05:35Until my birthday, I'd spent the entire day preparing, put on my most beautiful dress,
05:40and booked a table at the restaurant where we first met.
05:43I was going to tell him I loved him, that I wanted to be with him, no matter the cost.
05:47But Vincent never showed up.
05:49I sat alone in that restaurant for three hours, until even the waiters started to look at me with pity.
05:54The next day, photos of Vincent greeting another woman at the airport went viral.
05:59In the pictures, Isabella was nestled in his arms, the two of them as intimate as lovers,
06:04so that's where he'd been last night.
06:06He'd gone to pick her up.
06:07I laughed bitterly and drank until I couldn't feel anything.
06:10I wanted to confront him, to demand to know what I was to him.
06:14A sock buddy, a tool, but I didn't have the courage.
06:18I was too lonely, too addicted to the ones he offered.
06:25That night, Linton came home to find a wreck.
06:28I'd used a wine bottle to smash every single picture of Isabella in his study.
06:32He didn't even flinch.
06:34He just instructed the maid to clean up the nest and take care of me, then walked right past me.
06:40In that moment, I finally understood.
06:42Vincent was the family heir, untouchable, cold, and proud.
06:47His tolerance wasn't a sign of affection.
06:50He simply couldn't be bothered to argue with me.
06:53After that, he still called me in bed, as if nothing had changed, but my heart was already dead.
07:00Outside the restaurant, Vincent opened the car door for Isabella.
07:04They were laughing about something.
07:06I looked away and drove back to the Romano family estate.
07:10Don Romano's expression froze.
07:13Of what did you say, Malia, sitting beside him, practically lit up.
07:18I said, I'll marry the Sterling family's dying heir.
07:21In exchange, we sever all ties.
07:23From this moment on, I am no longer a Romano.
07:26You can welcome your mistress and your bastard daughter into this home with open arms.
07:29The day you staged the car crash that killed my mother, I stopped wanting you as a father anyway.
07:33Accident or not, she died on her way to find you cheating with Maria.
07:37Dad, let's stop pretending we're a happy family.
07:38You've been trying to sell me to the Sterlings for five months.
07:41Isn't it just so your precious mistress can finally marry into the family, so your bastard daughter can finally take
07:46the Romano name?
07:46John Romano is back to his feet.
07:48Sophia, you want to be disowned?
07:50Fine!
07:57As of tomorrow, you are no longer my daughter.
08:02Deal.
08:02I'm turning to head upstairs.
08:05Oh, and don't forget to inform the Sterling family.
08:08Their bride is no longer the eldest daughter of the Romano family, but a parentless orphan.
08:13Ask them if they're still willing to pay the same price.
08:16Back in my room, I shut the door, and the mask I wore finally crumbled.
08:21Tears streamed down my face.
08:22I curled up on the bed, a wounded animal licking its wounds.
08:26Do you know, Vincent, to finally leave you, I had to give up the only thing I had left.
08:33The next morning, I heard the sounds of furniture being moved downstairs.
08:37I rose and walked to the landing of the staircase.
08:40A familiar figure stood at the bottom.
08:42Isabella.
08:43My blood went cold.
08:45She was that new daughter, my stepmother's daughter.
08:48Isabella stood at the bottom of the stairs in a simple white dress, the picture of fragile
08:53innocence.
08:54She spotted me, smiling like an angel.
08:56You must be Sophia.
08:58I'm Isabella.
08:59It's a pleasure to finally meet you.
09:01I didn't answer, just stared down at her.
09:04Don Romano emerged from a living room.
09:07Seeing Isabella, a rare look of paternal affection crossed his features.
09:12Isabella, you must be tired from your journey.
09:15Have Sophia show you to your room.
09:17Thank you, Uncle Romano.
09:21Take Sophia's room.
09:23Gets the best light.
09:25Perfect for your recovery.
09:28My room?
09:30From now on, it's Isabella's room.
09:32You can move to the third floor.
09:33There's an empty guest room up there.
09:36No thanks.
09:40I went back upstairs and began to pack.
09:54Where do you think you're going?
09:56I'm leaving.
09:57I said without looking back.
09:59Since I'm no longer a Romano, there's no reason for me to stay here.
10:02Sophia!
10:04Sophia!
10:04He yelled after me.
10:05Your wedding is in two weeks.
10:08Don't be ridiculous.
10:09I know.
10:13I'll be at the wedding to fulfill our agreement.
10:16The door slammed shut behind me.
10:18I drove away from the Romano estate without a second glance.
10:24I thought about calling a friend, but then I realized I didn't have any.
10:28The people who flocked around me were only there for the Romano family's power and influence.
10:33Now that I've been cast out, who would bother with me?
10:36As dusk fell, I dragged my suitcase aimlessly through the streets.
10:40Finally, I found an empty bench in Central Park and sat down.
10:46The night grew deep.
10:48The park was quiet, save for the distant hum of traffic.
10:51I hugged my knees, counting down the five days until the wedding.
10:54I couldn't live on the streets until then.
10:56As I worried, a few drunk men staggered toward me.
10:59A drunk.
11:00Hey, beautiful.
11:02All alone?
11:03One of them slurred, reeking of cheap booze.
11:06Stay away from me.
11:07The man said, reaching for me, a drunk.
11:10Come on, have a drink with us.
11:12I stepped back, but the bench blocked my escape.
11:15Just then, a low, menacing voice cut through the air.
11:19She's with me.
11:19I turned.
11:21Vincent was stepping out of the shadows, his face a thunderous mask of fury.
11:25The drunk stepped one look at his imposing presence and scrambled away.
11:29Vincent strode toward me, his gaze taking in my suitcases.
11:33Then the bench.
11:34Homeless.
11:35And you still won't come to me?
11:37Vincent drove me back to his mansion in Manhattan.
11:40I knew this house all too well.
11:42Every corner held a memory of our bodies tangled together.
11:45Vincent reached for my suitcase, about to take it to my usual bedroom.
11:48Don't.
11:49Heading straight for a guest room.
11:51I'm only staying for 12 days, this is fine.
11:53Vincent stopped in his tracks.
11:55You can stay as long as you want.
11:56I put my suitcase in the guest room and closed the door.
11:59I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my phone.
12:0212 more days, and I would leave New York forever.
12:04The next morning, I went downstairs.
12:06Vincent was already in the dining room.
12:08He saw me and gestured to the seat across from him.
12:11I sat.
12:12A maid brought me milk and toast.
12:15Vincent.
12:17I found out yesterday.
12:18He said his face unreadable, showing no hint of guilt.
12:22What is Isabella to you?
12:23A high school classmate.
12:25She took a bullet from me once, saved my life.
12:26She's been recovering in Europe ever since.
12:28Really?
12:29Just a classmate?
12:30A savior?
12:30Is it that simple?
12:31Sophia, I don't want you targeting her just because she has returned to the Romano family.
12:35Is that a warning?
12:36It's a reminder.
12:37Isabella's health is fragile.
12:38She can't handle any trouble.
12:40I nodded, saying nothing more.
12:42Vincent was more direct in his defense of Isabella than I had ever imagined.
12:46What else was their task?
12:48I understand.
12:49I'm going upstairs.
12:52I stayed in the guest room all day.
12:54The maid brought lunch and dinner to my door.
12:56I didn't go down.
12:57That night, I lay in bed, unable to sleep.
13:01Usually, Vincent would open the door around this time, push me down without a word, and
13:05grip my waist while calling me princess.
13:07But tonight, nothing.
13:09His first love was back.
13:11Of course you won't want me anymore.
13:13On Saturday, he forced me to go to a party.
13:15It didn't look like any mafia gathering I'd ever been to.
13:18Before I could ask, I heard a familiar voice.
13:21Vincent, you're finally here.
13:23Isabella, in a white evening gown fluttered over like a butterfly.
13:27She saw me, and her expression faltered for a fraction of a second before she plastered
13:31on a sweet smile.
13:32Sophia's here too.
13:34That's wonderful.
13:35I glanced around and saw a large banner that read, welcome home, Isabella.
13:40It was a welcome party.
13:41For her, Vincent had brought me to Isabella's welcome home party.
13:45I turned to leave, but Isabella stopped me.
13:47Sophia, what's wrong?
13:48Are you not feeling well?
13:49She asked.
13:50Her voice tripping with concern.
13:51I heard you moved out of your house.
13:53Is it because of me?
13:54I'm so sorry.
13:55I had no idea Uncle Romano would let me stay in your room.
13:58Her voice was soft and gentle, but loud enough for everyone around us to hear.
14:02A few guests looked my way with questioning eyes.
14:04It's fine.
14:05I replied curtly.
14:06It's just a room.
14:08But Uncle Romano said you even disowned him.
14:12Isabella's eyes welled with tears.
14:13It's all my fault if I hadn't come back.
14:18Don't cry.
14:19Your eyes will get swollen.
14:21He took out a handkerchief and dabbed at her tears.
14:24Isabella's tears turned to a smile.
14:26She blinked her wet lashes and said,
14:28You're so good to me, Vincent.
14:30I watched them all night.
14:32He pulled out her chair.
14:33He bought her drinks.
14:34He fixed her dress.
14:36A sharp pain pierced my heart.
14:38In ten days, I thought Benson was just a cold man who didn't know how to be romantic.
14:42I was wrong.
14:43He's not cold.
14:44He just wasn't willing to do those things for me.
14:47I turned and walked to the bar, grabbed a glass of champagne, and downed most of it in one go.
14:52After the party I stood alone outside the club, waiting for a car.
14:56Isabella came out, with Vincent carefully helping her walk.
14:59Sophia, I'm so sorry about what happened earlier.
15:02I twisted my ankle so suddenly.
15:04Vincent couldn't get to you.
15:05But it looks like you handled it well.
15:07She glanced at my injured hand, a flash of triumph in her eyes.
15:11I did.
15:11I've always been good at handling my own problems.
15:13That's good.
15:14To be honest, I was a little worried when Vincent brought you tonight.
15:17After all, you two used to-
15:18Used to what?
15:19You don't actually think Vincent has special feelings for you, do you?
15:22Isabella Lingen, her voice a low, venomous whisper.
15:25Sophia, dear, Vincent just pities you.
15:28You're homeless now, so he took you in out of charity.
15:30That's all.
15:31Is that so?
15:33Of course.
15:34Vincent only has room in his heart for me.
15:36It's been that way since high school.
15:38That will never change.
15:40Just then, a black sedan lost control and sped straight toward us.
15:44In a split second, Vincent lunged forward and pulled his arms and arms about.
15:47She had a hurt with his body.
15:49And me, I was struck hard by the out-of-control car and thrown violently to the ground.
16:01As the car hit me, my consciousness began to fade.
16:04Pain shot through my entire body, but what hurt more was the absolute, crushing despair
16:09of being abandoned.
16:10Slashes of memory flooded my mind.
16:12I remember the first time he pinned me down, calling me princess.
16:16I remember the nights in his arms, listening to the steady beat of his heart, thinking
16:20I had finally found my home.
16:22But the last thing I saw was the truth.
16:25Vincent diving for her.
16:27Leaving me to face the crash alone.
16:28Listening to the steady beat of his heart, thinking I had finally found my home.
16:32The final image was frozen in my mind.
16:35Vincent, without a moment's hesitation, diving to protect Isabella.
16:38And me, like some disposable bystander, left to face the danger all alone.
16:43When I finally opened my eyes I was in a hospital bed.
16:46It was quiet, but I could hear them talking just outside my curtain.
16:50Vincent's voice was so gentle, it sounded like a stranger's voice.
16:54Are you okay?
16:55Isabella softly said yes, she asked him.
16:58Vincent, if it happened again you'd still save me first?
17:03Right.
17:04Vincent didn't even hesitate.
17:06Of course.
17:06He said, Sophia has no reason to be angry in an emergency, I'm obviously going to save
17:11the more fragile person, she understands that.
17:15After Vincent left, the room was quiet, but not for long.
17:18The door creaked open, and there she was.
17:21Isabella sat by my bed with a poisonous smile.
17:24She told me a story about high school, about how she was Vincent's first love.
17:28She told me she took a bullet for him during an ambush, and ever since, Vincent has been
17:33consumed with guilt.
17:34He promised to spend the rest of his life making it up to her.
17:37Then she leaned in, her voice turning venomous.
17:40She told me that while she was away, she lied to Vincent.
17:43She told him I was mistreating her mother.
17:45Vincent didn't discipline me because he was forced to.
17:47He asked for the job.
17:48He wanted to break you to get revenge for her.
17:51I felt my blood turn to ice, but it got worse.
17:53Isabella pulled out her phone and asked,
17:55Did you know that every single time you two were together, it was being recorded?
17:59Vincent installed hidden cameras in the bedroom.
18:01He filmed our most private moments just to give her leverage to control me.
18:05Vincent never loved you.
18:06He was just completing a mission, and now he's going to marry me.
18:09I couldn't stay in that hospital bed for another second.
18:12I jumped into a cabin headed straight to Vincent Mansion.
18:15I had to know.
18:17I had to see if the man I loved was actually the monster Isabella described.
18:21I ran into a study and punched the code into the hidden wall.
18:25It slid open to reveal a room full of monitors and computers.
18:29My hands shook as I found the folder labeled Sophia.
18:32I clicked it.
18:33There they were, hundreds of videos.
18:35Every night we spent together.
18:37Every I love you I whispered in his arms.
18:40He had recorded it all in high definition.
18:42I crumpled to the floor.
18:43It was all true.
18:44I called my father.
18:45My voice breaking.
18:47I asked him.
18:48Ten years ago did Vincent offer to discipline me?
18:51My father didn't even hesitate.
18:52He told me, Vincent, gave him a $200 million project, just for the chance to take me under
18:58his wing.
18:59Vincent didn't love me, he bought me, he slept with me, and controlled me, just to get revenge.
19:05I started to laugh.
19:06It was a hysterical broken sound.
19:08I went to the bedroom and grabbed my suitcase, along with my flight ticket to a city where
19:12he will never find me.
19:14On my way out, I picked up a solid gold lighter, the first gift Benson ever gave me.
19:18I used to think it was a symbol of love, but now I realized it was just a mark on
19:22his
19:22prey.
19:23I flicked the lighter open and tossed it onto the heavy silk curtains.
19:26I watched the flames grow, devouring the memories, the lies, and the girl who once loved him
19:31so deeply.
19:31The sky was a hellish red as firetrucks surrounded the mansion.
19:35I watched it burn.
19:36A message coughed up when I turned on my phone.
19:38It was Vincent.
19:39I heard you burn the house.
19:40Do you feel better now, my princess?
19:42I didn't apply.
19:43I was about to catch my flight.
19:45I received another message from him.
19:48Stay home and wait for me.
19:49I have something to tell you.
19:50I turned off my phone, whispered to the empty air.
19:53We'll never see each other again.
19:54I threw my phone out the window and watched it shatter.
19:56Now he has no way to find me.
19:58At the airport, I sat by the window.
20:00Outside, I saw his private jet on the tarmac.
20:03I accidentally saw his silhouette walking up the stairs, heading to another city for his meeting.
20:07My flight was called.
20:09I realized then, there were two planes on that runway, pointed in completely opposite directions.
20:15Vincent walked out of the mafia meeting and loosened his tie.
20:18After three days of high-stakes negotiations, he'd finally taken several more ports.
20:23The Corsini territory had finally fallen.
20:25He was at the top of his game.
20:27He turned on his phone for the first time in 72 hours and the screen lit up with 99 missed
20:32messages from Isabella.
20:33But his eyes went straight to the only one that mattered, a single message from Sofia.
20:37He tapped it, expecting her usual sass.
20:40Instead, his blood ran cold.
20:42It was a bank notification.
20:44Transfer received 813-000.
20:47The memo simply read, settlement from medical and living expenses.
20:51No, I miss you.
20:52No, where have you been?
20:53Just the final bill paid in full.
20:55That was the total amount of Vincent's money I had spent over the last three years.
20:59I transferred it to him back.
21:01Vincent almost laughed from frustration.
21:03He typed back,
21:04You think I need your money?
21:05Do we really need to settle accounts like this?
21:09He waited for the reply he knew would come in seconds, but the chat window stayed silent.
21:13Ten minutes passed.
21:14Nothing.
21:15He called her, only to hear a cold robotic voice say,
21:18The number you have dialed is not in service.
21:21For a second, Vincent froze.
21:23He thought of Sofia.
21:24How she looked, when she snuggled into his arms at night.
21:27Her long lashes against her skin.
21:29He looked at her profile picture a prog cat that looked exactly like her.
21:32He smiled, thinking she was just playing hard to get.
21:34He sent one last message.
21:37I'm back in New York tomorrow night.
21:39Be at the airport to pick me up.
21:40He stared at his phone, waiting for her to say no or fine.
21:43But the message stayed on read.
21:45For the first time in his life, the ruthless crime boss felt a chill land down his spine.
21:49He was used to her defiance, but he wasn't prepared for her silence.
21:53On the drive back, Vincent sat in the back seat, holding a bag of jewelry box.
21:57Inside was the pearl mecklers Sofia had bet for, the one he had refused to help her by, at the
22:03auction.
22:04Boss, I think she still heard about the auction.
22:06But if she knew you went through all this trouble to find the real necklace for her, she'd be so
22:10moved.
22:11Vincent looked at the box.
22:13He pictured Sofia's defiant beautiful face.
22:16Rucci, he whispered.
22:17Marshall kept going, talking about how Sofia was actually kind and sweet, even when she tried to act tough.
22:24But then the temperature in the car dropped.
22:26Vincent's face turned terrifyingly dark.
22:29He looked at Marshall in the mirror and asked.
22:31Do you like her?
22:32Marshall's hand shook so hard the car almost swirled off the road.
22:36Tell me the truth.
22:37Marshall took a deep breath and admitted it.
22:39Who wouldn't be drawn to someone like her?
22:41But I know she only has eyes for you, boss.
22:43I've only ever admired her from afar.
22:45Vincent calmed down slightly.
22:46But boss, I hope you treat her better.
22:48You can't protect Isabella one moment then try to be sweet to Sofia the next.
22:51She deserves a love that is all or nothing.
22:54Vincent narrowed his eyes, his voice dangerous.
22:57What are you implying?
22:58But, Marshall didn't back down.
23:00Exactly what it sounds like.
23:02He went all in.
23:03Boss, I've always wanted to ask.
23:05Who do you really love?
23:06Is it Isabella or is it Sofia?
23:09Sofia, of course.
23:11The moment the words left Vincent's mouth,
23:13Marco slammed on the brakes.
23:15The tires screeched against the pavement.
23:17Sorry, boss.
23:18Marco apologized hastily.
23:21His back slick with a cold sweat.
23:23To his surprise, Vincent wasn't angry.
23:26He just lifted his cold gaze, studying his assistant in the rear view mirror.
23:30Does my answer shock shock you that much?
23:32Marco's hands trembled on the wheel.
23:34Shot was an understatement.
23:36It turned everything he thought he blew on its head.
23:38He didn't dare say it avowed, opting for a more tactful response.
23:42But, I've seen you treat Miss Isabella so well, even better than you treat Miss Sofia.
23:48That's because she took a bullet for me.
23:50Vincent pressed his long fingers to his temples and leaned back into the leather seat.
23:54He closed his eyes, memories flooding back.
23:58In high school, he was known at St. Lee's Property Academy as the Ice Prince.
24:02As the March Ellie heir, daughters from every major family vied a bite for his attention daily.
24:08The most extreme incident involved the Torino family's daughter arranging roses in a heart
24:13shape at the school gate to declare her feelings.
24:16Every girl wanted him.
24:17To make them stop he needed a fake girlfriend.
24:20He conceded it was a practical solution.
24:22But who?
24:23His gaze swept across the courtyard and landed on Isabella, reading in the library.
24:27From then on, he started singling her out.
24:30He let her rest her head on his shoulder in class, had her accompany him everywhere,
24:35and tacitly allowed the high society rumors about them to circulate.
24:39The effect was immediate.
24:41The other families backed off.
24:43On graduation day, Isabella asked him to meet on the school roof.
24:47As they were leaving, an assassin from a rival family appeared.
24:51A dark gun barrel aimed right at him.
24:53In that critical moment, Isabella shoved him out of the way.
24:58The gunshot echoed.
25:00He saw Isabella full of zaga broken tight, blood gushing from her chest.
25:03In the hospital, the pale-faced girl whispered weakly.
25:06Vincent, I don't regret it.
25:09The doctor said the bullet had grazed her heart.
25:11She'd merely died.
25:13Out of guilt, he had granted nearly every request she'd made over the years.
25:17The only thing he was grateful for was Isabella's comment.
25:20I don't ever want that Romano princess bullying my mother again.
25:24Which led in to propose disciplining Sofia to Don Romano himself.
25:27At the thought, a smile involuntarily touched Vincent's lips.
25:32Vincent remembered the first time he saw Sofia, like it was yesterday.
25:36She burst into his study like a flash of red, leaning against the door with a smirk.
25:41A princess shouldn't have to wait.
25:43In that moment, she was like a plane burning through his cold black and white world.
25:48His heart skipped a beat.
25:50Even if he didn't show it for years, she was a wild cat.
25:54She put laxatives in his whiskey and turned his million dollar contracts into paper airplanes.
25:58He loved every minute of the chase.
26:00He remembered the night he finally pinned her to his desk.
26:03That night, Sofia was furious, struggling beneath him.
26:07Her miniskirt pushed up to her waist, panties already torn and dangling from one ankle.
26:12Bastard! Let me go!
26:13The Vincent only smirked coldly, one hand pinning both her wrists above her head,
26:19while the other roughly spread her legs.
26:21My princess.
26:22Sofia screamed, her body clenching violently around him as he took her heart in deep,
26:27the heavy desk creaking under their violent rhythm.
26:30He took her again and again, until her angry curses turned into broken bones,
26:35and her legs wrapped around his waist involuntarily.
26:38She was furious, calling him a bastard.
26:41But he just whispered, my princess.
26:43He took her again and again, but he never said the word love.
26:48Vincent realized he had kept his feelings buried, because he was afraid.
26:52He was afraid if he confessed his love, she would take it for granted.
26:56Or worse, get bored and run away.
26:59But sitting on his private jet, he couldn't stop thinking about her.
27:03He remembered how she secretly left warm water by his bed when he was sick,
27:08even when she was nagging him.
27:10His throat tightened, for the first time.
27:13He was desperate to get home.
27:15The plane landed in New York.
27:17Vincent walked down the steps, his eyes searching for that familiar sight.
27:22Every time he returned, Sophia was there in a bright dress, waiting at him,
27:27before flying into his arms like a happy bird.
27:31He could almost feel her hug already.
27:33He was ready to pull her into the car, and never let her go.
27:38Vincent!
27:38A voice called out.
27:41A smile started to spread across his face.
27:43But as he turned, his smile froze.
27:47It was Isabella.
27:49She looked fragile and sweet, but Vincent's body went stiff.
27:53He pushed her away gently and asked,
27:56What are you doing here?
27:57Isabella pouted, telling him she had come especially to pick him up.
28:02She asked,
28:03Aren't you happy to see me?
28:04Vincent gave a polite answer, but he didn't even take her hand.
28:08His mind was miles away.
28:10He was thinking about Sophia.
28:13She hadn't shown up.
28:14He figured she was still sulking about him.
28:17He started making a mental list of gifts to fix things.
28:21Isabella begged him to follow her to a special place.
28:25Wanting to get it over with, he agreed.
28:29But when the ballroom doors opened at a luxury hotel,
28:33Vincent froze.
28:35The room was a sea of white roses, champagne towers, and heart-shaped balloons.
28:40It was a perfect setting for a romantic proposal.
28:43The elite guests turned to him with knowing smiles.
28:46Vincent realized it instantly.
28:49This was a trap.
28:50Just as he turned to find an exit, the large screen suddenly lit up.
28:54It showed Vincent in high school, letting Isabella rest her head on his shoulder,
29:00then a photo of him holding an umbrella over her in the race.
29:04To the crowd, it looked like a perfect lifelong romance.
29:08But Vincent stood in the back, his face a mass of stone.
29:12Isabella walked onto the stage, blushing.
29:15She told the room how Vincent had lost her in the library,
29:20how he only ever could drink from her hand,
29:22and how everyone called them a perfect match.
29:25I've always been in love with you.
29:27She whispered.
29:28The crowd gasped.
29:30They were sure he was about to propose.
29:33Isabella pulled out a jewelry box.
29:35She was certain he felt the same way,
29:37because he had granted her every wish for years.
29:40But Vincent's eyes grew ice cold.
29:42Before she could ask the question,
29:44Vincent strode onto the stage.
29:46The room went dead silent.
29:50I can grant you anything you want, but not this.
29:56I am not in love with you.
30:06Vincent, what are you saying?
30:07You don't love me.
30:09Isabella's voice shot up,
30:10the color draining from her face.
30:12How is that possible?
30:13You clearly...
30:14Vincent's voice was so calm, it was cruel.
30:16Back then, my associate's daughters were a nuisance.
30:20I needed a shield.
30:21A shield?
30:22He parsed, then continued.
30:25As compensation,
30:27I deposited half a million dollars into your account every year.
30:30I thought we had an understanding that it was a transaction.
30:33His gaze rested calmly on her pale face.
30:36That was my debt to you.
30:37The room erupted.
30:39The envious glances instantly turned to mockery and contempt.
30:44Whispers rushed toward Isabella like a tidal wave.
30:47I knew it!
30:48A man of Vincent's status would never fool for someone from the Torino.
30:51She acted like it was real, but it was all in her head.
30:55I heard her mother used her looks to marry into the Romano family.
30:58Like mother, like daughter, I suppose.
31:00Always trying to climb the social ladder.
31:02Every word was a knife in Isabella's heart.
31:05Her reputation was everything.
31:08She had planned this for three months,
31:11inviting all of New York's high society,
31:13determined to become Mrs. Marshelli in the most glamorous way possible.
31:18But now, she trembled, her nails digging deep into her palms.
31:22If Fenton didn't love her, then who did he love?
31:25A terrible thought surfaced.
31:27Could it be Sophia?
31:29The next second, Vincent was turning to leave.
31:32She clung to his sleeve with the last shred of her dignity.
31:36In all these years,
31:39did you really never feel anything for me?
31:44No.
31:44Vincent said, pulling his arm away.
31:47Never.
31:48Those two words stabbed Isabella through the heart.
31:51Her legs gave out, and she collapsed onto the stage.
31:55Her perfectly cropped hair came undone.
31:57Her makeup streaked with tears.
32:00Amid the pointing and whispering,
32:02Vincent walked out of the ballroom without a single look back,
32:05striding toward the block car waiting outside.
32:08Marco was already there with the gifts he'd been asked to cook here.
32:13Boss, it's all ready.
32:15Marco handed him a box.
32:17The sapphire necklace,
32:18and Miss Sapphire's favorite Italian truffle chocolates.
32:23Vincent took out his phone,
32:26and texted Sophia.
32:28Come to the Long Island villa.
32:30I have something for you.
32:32No reply, he called her.
32:34Still off.
32:35Frowning slightly,
32:37he sent another text.
32:39Still not?
32:40The messages went out,
32:42one after another meeting only silence.
32:45Vincent rubbed his temples
32:46and sent one money burn down the mansion.
32:49If you're still not satisfied,
32:51do you want to burn another one?
32:53After a long wait,
32:55the phone remained quiet.
32:56Still no response.
32:58His patience finally snapped.
33:01Vincent dialed Don Romano's number directly.
33:05Is Sophia home?
33:06Get her on the phone.
33:07On the other end,
33:08Don Romano's voice was full of surprise.
33:10Vincent, didn't you know?
33:12Sophia, I already married her off to Sterling family.
33:16The phone slipped from Vincent's hand,
33:19clattering onto the car floor.
33:22The convoys fell to the Romano estate.
33:26Vincent kicked the front door open and stormed inside.
33:30Don Romano was sitting on a weathered sofa,
33:32sipping whiskey.
33:33He was so shocked,
33:34he almost dropped his glass.
33:37Vincent, what are you doing here?
33:38You married Sophia off.
33:40to Sterling family in Boston.
33:42Don Romano paused,
33:44then gave an obsequious smile.
33:47I did, three days ago.
33:49You were always complaining
33:50about how much trouble she was, right?
33:52And the Sterling family's sickly heir
33:54was offering 500 million for an alliance,
33:56so I married her off.
33:58Now you and Isabella can finally be together
34:01without anyone bothering you.
34:02Who told you I love Isabella?
34:05Vincent slammed his fist on the marble coffee table,
34:08and the entire slab cracked in two.
34:12He couldn't believe that this man
34:13has sold his own daughter for 500 million dollars.
34:17Men, tear this place apart.
34:21Two dozen men in black suits swarmed in,
34:24and in an instant,
34:26porcelain, furniture,
34:27and cleanings were reduced to fragments.
34:30Vincent, what are you doing?
34:32Vincent said,
34:34his voice level.
34:35As of today,
34:37the Romano family is finished.
34:40No, Vincenza,
34:41you can't do this!
34:44Think of the history between our families.
34:47Just then,
34:49Isabella rushed in.
35:00Vincent!
35:02Vincent!
35:03Why are you doing this to my father?
35:05Realization dawned on her,
35:06and she screamed hysterically.
35:08You fell in love with Sophia, didn't you?
35:15I did.
35:16So what?
35:18Isabella looked as if she'd been struck by lightning,
35:20then burst into manic laughter.
35:24But she's never coming back!
35:27You love her,
35:28but you never said it,
35:28so everyone thought you loved me!
35:31She screamed.
35:32I paid your maids to fill your study with my pictures.
35:35Do you think Sophia never saw them?
35:38Why do you think she burnt down the mansion?
35:40because I told her
35:41you recorded your private moments together
35:43to use as blackmail!
35:45Isabella's smile is twisted.
35:47She wasn't forced to marry him.
35:48She gave up on you completely.
35:50She chose to marry someone else.
35:52She'll never come back!
35:53Every word was a dagger
35:54twisting in Vincent's heart.
35:56He thought about Sophia's recent behavior,
35:59the lack of tantrums,
36:01the silence,
36:02the way she walked away from the fire
36:04without a second glance.
36:06So,
36:07she had seen the photos.
36:10She had heard the rumors.
36:12She had lost all hope in him.
36:14As for the recordings,
36:16he had made them,
36:18but only to watch them himself.
36:20He remembered how she looked
36:22in the throes of passion,
36:23the stubborn way she bit her lip
36:25to keep from crying out,
36:27the flush that crept up her neck
36:28when she came.
36:29He couldn't bring himself
36:31to delete those memories,
36:32but now,
36:33they had all become weapons
36:34used against her.
36:36Isabella.
36:38He turned,
36:39his voice.
36:40You will pay for this.
36:50Get the jet ready.
36:53We're going to Boston.
36:55Now.
37:03Sofia said in her room,
37:05staring blankly at the Maldons of luxury goods.
37:09From the day she arrived at the Sterling Estate,
37:12a non-stop stream of items had been brought to her.
37:16Sofia finally held up a hand.
37:18Look at this room.
37:20Is there any space left?
37:22The mage exchanged glances.
37:24One of them,
37:25immediately pressed her earpiece
37:27and whispered a new pour.
37:28Young master.
37:30Miss Sofia says the room is too small.
37:33Sofia dead append.
37:35That's not what I meant.
37:36The mage replied earnestly.
37:38The young master's orders
37:39were to spend without limit.
37:41Sofia pressed her hand to her forehead.
37:44Does your young master
37:45usually throw money away way like this?
37:49The young master is very wealthy.
37:52For the Sterling family,
37:53this is just pocket change.
37:55The maid said seriously.
37:58Sofia took a deep breath
37:59and finally asked the question.
38:01I've been here for almost a week.
38:04May I meet your young master, please?
38:07The maid hesitated.
38:09The young master said,
38:10he's not mentally prepared yet.
38:12Sofia laughed in disbelief.
38:14He married me,
38:15and he's not prepared.
38:27Fine.
38:28Then I'm leaving.
38:29The moment the words left her mouth,
38:32all the maids suddenly stood at attention.
38:35Young mister.
38:38Sofia froze and turned toward the door.
38:41Footsteps approached,
38:42and a tall, slender figure appeared.
38:54Sofia was stunned.
38:55This was Alexander Sterling,
38:57the supposedly dying heir.
38:59He looked healthy enough
39:00to take on a dozen assassins single-handedly.
39:03Alexander stood at the door,
39:04the tips of his ears slightly red.
39:06He avoided her gaze,
39:08confirming what the maid had said
39:09about not being ready.
39:10Sofia narrowed her eyes.
39:12Mr. Sterling,
39:14care to explain?
39:16I'm sorry.
39:17The truth is,
39:18I'm not sick.
39:18I was just too scared to meet you.
39:20I've been waiting for you since I was a child.
39:22I've loved you for so long.
39:24He was staring at the floor,
39:26like a child caught doing something wrong,
39:28completely unable to meet her eyes.
39:30You said you've been in love with me for a long time?
39:32Have we met?
39:33Ten years ago,
39:34at the yacht party in the Hamptons.
39:37Have you forgotten who you saved?
39:40Sofia froze.
39:41Her memory pulled back a decade.
39:43At that party,
39:44she had been on the deck
39:45and she had a squat.
39:46A young boy had fallen overboard.
39:49Before anyone else could react,
39:51she had died in the afternoon.
39:52After swallowing several mouthfuls of seawater,
39:55she finally dragged him back to the deck.
39:57She gasped,
39:58soaked to the bone,
39:59but ignoring herself,
40:00as she knelt to perform first aid.
40:02The little boy coughed up with water
40:04and opened his eyes.
40:06His lashes beaded with moisture.
40:08She had taken off the jacket
40:10and wrapped it around his shivering body.
40:14Are you okay?
40:17The bully had clutched her jacket,
40:19his eyes shining like stars.
40:26Sofia snapped back to the present,
40:28staring at Alexander in disbelief.
40:30That little kid fell in the water,
40:31that was you.
40:33The tips of Alexander's ears burst.
40:37Yes.
40:39I've been looking for you for ten years.
40:42Sofia suddenly laughed.
40:43But you were only twelve then,
40:45and I was sixteen.
40:47I'm four years older than you.
40:50Because you were like an angel.
40:52He said softly.
40:54You saved me,
40:55and you were so gentle.
40:57His eyes were so clear,
40:58without a trace of pretense,
41:00as if he were holding his entire heart out for her to see.
41:03Princess,
41:03I truly love you.
41:05I didn't mean to deceive you.
41:07If you want to leave,
41:08the five by E has their yurtas,
41:10and I'll let you go.
41:12But if you're willing to give me a chance,
41:15let me give you a home.
41:17I'll spend my entire life treating you right.
41:19The word home struck a deep chord in Sofia's heart.
41:22Maybe,
41:23she could try,
41:23at least here,
41:24someone loved her with all their heart.
41:26Sofia held out her hand.
41:28In the days that followed,
41:29Alexander treated Sofia like the center of the universe.
41:31She casually mentioned a craving for Italian food,
41:34and half an hour later,
41:36a three-star Michelin chef,
41:37and his entire team were at their door.
41:39She frowned in her sleep,
41:41and Alexander had all the carpets in the villa
41:43replaced with a softer material.
41:45Most importantly,
41:46the entire Sterling family adored her.
41:49She hadn't felt this cherished in years.
41:51Her new life felt like a dream,
41:53until...
41:58Madam,
41:59Mr. Vincent is here.
42:02He's asking to see you.
42:03A maid reported breathlessly.
42:05The magazine in Sofia's hand fell to the floor.
42:09She looked up and met Alexander's tense gaze.
42:13He put down the strawberry he was holding,
42:15his voice tight.
42:17Princess,
42:18do you want to see him?
42:20Sofia,
42:20looked at his tense profile,
42:22and suddenly smiled.
42:23No.
42:24She reached out and put his cheek.
42:27Keep feeding me strawberries.
42:29Alexander's,
42:30eyes lit up,
42:31and he immediately turned back into her loyal puppy.
42:35carefully feeding her strawberries,
42:37one by one.
42:38On Sofia's birthday,
42:40Alexander threw a lavish party.
42:42When Alexander took her hands,
42:44led her onto the stage,
42:45and announced he was transferring 50% of his company.
42:48Shares to her,
42:49the entire room gasped it.
42:51Is he crazy?
42:51That's billions.
42:53Sofia,
42:53tugged on his sleeve.
42:55What are you doing?
42:56Alexander looked down at her,
42:58his eyes shining.
42:59If I wasn't afraid of birding you,
43:01I would give you 100%.
43:02Someone in the crowd started chanting.
43:06The ticks of Alexander's ears turned bright red as he looked at Sofia tentatively,
43:12just as he reigned in to kiss her.
43:15All room doors were kicked open.
43:17Everyone froze.
43:18Vincent stood in the doorway,
43:20impeccably dressed,
43:21but his eyes were terrifyingly dark.
43:23His gaze was fixed on Sofia and Alexander's and Twiemhynes,
43:29as if he wanted to burn a hole right through them.
43:32Almost instantly,
43:33Alexander pulled Sofia into his arms,
43:36shielding her with his body,
43:37but Sofia was surprisingly calm.
43:39She looked at Vincent and smiled.
43:41Mr. Marcelli,
43:42what brings you here?
43:43A wedding gift?
43:44Her words were a knife,
43:46stabbing deep into Vincent's chest.
43:47His skull tightened,
43:48veins standing out on his neck.
43:50His voice was war.
43:52Sofia,
43:53come back with me.
43:55Sofia smile widened.
43:57Go back to what?
43:58To watch you take care of Isabella?
44:00I don't love Isabella!
44:02I love you!
44:03The guests gasped,
44:05and the whispers erupted.
44:07He really is here to crash the wedding.
44:10His voice was low.
44:11Let's talk somewhere else.
44:13Alexander sneered.
44:14Mr. Marcelli,
44:15you're not welcome here.
44:16But Sofia gently placed a hand on his...
44:19It's okay.
44:20I'll make things clear.
44:22Inside of the black car,
44:23Sofia sat in the passenger seat.
44:25Calm lay looking out the window.
44:27Vincent was in the driver's seat,
44:29his tie crooked,
44:30his eyes bloodshot.
44:31He had never looked so besheveled.
44:33The recordings.
44:34I made them.
44:35But not to blackmail you.
44:37He said.
44:37I just...
44:38His voice hoarse.
44:40Wanted to keep them for myself.
44:43He explained everything.
44:44One detail at a time.
44:46When he finished the...
44:48Sofia just as quietie.
44:49End.
44:50Then sent for its use.
44:54End.
44:55Come back with me.
44:56His voice trembled.
44:57You knew my situation,
44:58but you still chose to side with Isabella again and again.
45:01Even if you don't love her.
45:04The pain you caused me was real.
45:07And during that time.
45:09My feelings for you slowly died.
45:12I can't them back.
45:13Vincent's fingers tightened on the steering wheel,
45:16his knuckles turning white.
45:18His voice shook.
45:20Sofia, I'm not a god.
45:22I made a mistake.
45:24Can't you allow me one mistake?
45:27Is the price for one mistake losing you forever?
45:30Yes.
45:31I don't hate you,
45:32but I won't love you again either.
45:34She took a gold leaf invitation from her purse
45:37and handed it to him.
45:39My wedding to Alexander is in three days,
45:41but I need to know the truth about him first.
45:43With that, she opened the car door
45:45and walked toward Alexander,
45:46who was waiting by the road.
45:48Never once looking back,
45:49Vincent sat in the car,
45:51watching her leave,
45:52and suddenly remembered the first time he saw her.
45:54She was in a red dress,
45:56piled in radiant,
45:57a fire that had burned its way
45:59into his black and white world.
46:00And now, that fire was gone.
46:03The day before the wedding,
46:04Sofia sat at the vanity in the bridal suite,
46:07her fingertips tracing the diamonds on her wedding dress,
46:10the sun was shining,
46:12and staff bustled outside,
46:14preparing for the ceremony.
46:15Everything seemed perfect.
46:17A soft knock came at the door.
46:19Princess.
46:20Alexander entered,
46:22holding a cup of warm herbal tea
46:24and a small elegant velvet box.
46:26He was dressed in a well-fitted black suit,
46:29his eyes impossibly gentle.
46:30You barely touched your breakfast.
46:32He said,
46:33placing the cup beside her.
46:35Sofia looked up,
46:36a small smile on her lips.
46:38Thanks.
46:39Sofia opened the box.
46:41Inside were exquisite pieces of Italian chocolate.
46:44I heard you used to love the chocolates from this shop.
46:46Alexander said softly.
46:48I had them flown in from Milan.
46:49And Sofia paused.
46:51Surprised,
46:51she was about to speak
46:52when the estate security alarm began to speak.
46:55What's going on?
46:56Alexander frowned.
46:57A frantic voice came through.
46:59Alexander?
46:59The system is brief.
47:01All surveillance and access controls are down.
47:04Alexander's face changed.
47:06Princess.
47:07Stay here.
47:08Don't move.
47:08He hurried out,
47:09giving sharp orders in the hallway,
47:12before she could react.
47:14The street door was pushed open soundlessly.
47:17A tall figure stood in the doorway,
47:20Vincent.
47:20Sofia shot to her feet.
47:22Nothing over a bottle of cookie rolls.
47:25Outside,
47:26a helicopter hovered,
47:28its rotor blades deafening.
47:29Sofia's eyes widened in horror.
47:32Vincent,
47:32this is kidnapping!
47:35So what if it is?
47:38You're mine.
47:39He sneered,
47:40leaping onto the balcony with her.
47:43I should have done this the first day I saw you.
47:46The wind howled,
47:47whipping her wedding dress around her.
47:49She looked back at the estate,
47:51and saw Alexander's distant finger
47:53being held back by second wedding dress.
47:55He seemed to be shouting her name,
47:57but the wind stole the sound.
47:59The helicopter landed on a private island at dawn.
48:01Vincent carried Sofia off the aircraft.
48:04The moment her feet touched the ground,
48:06she shoved him away.
48:08Illegal confinement!
48:09She smeared,
48:10her wedding dress whipping in the sea breeze.
48:12When did Vincent Marcelli stoop to such low-life tactics?
48:15So what if I did?
48:17Vincent gave her a tour.
48:19Everything here is yours.
48:21He said,
48:22opening the French doors.
48:23The gardens,
48:24the pool,
48:25the library,
48:26even that ocean.
48:28I want to go back.
48:34Sofia,
48:35let's start over.
48:37As if none of it ever happened.
48:38Vincent,
48:39when did you learn to lie to yourself?
48:42Sofia,
48:43I will make you become the person you used to be.
48:51She woke from a nightmare to find a small lamp on her nightstand.
48:56It's light soft as the mood.
48:58Vincent sat by her bed,
49:00watching her,
49:00his eyes bloodshot.
49:02This was a Vincent she had never seen before.
49:05Tender,
49:06obsessive,
49:07and unconditionally indulgent.
49:09For a moment,
49:10she was dazed.
49:11If only he had been like this before.
49:14But there was no going back.
49:16He cut the back of her neck,
49:18pulling her closer.
49:19Don't,
49:20don't touch me.
49:21Vincent froze,
49:22his eyes filled with a storm of pain.
49:25Sofia,
49:25what do you want me to do?
49:27Sofia looked at him,
49:28and suddenly smiled.
49:30Let me go.
49:32A maid entered.
49:35Madam,
49:36please drink some milk.
49:39When is he coming back?
49:41Mr. Vanessa had to return to New York
49:43to handle the Marcelli family business.
49:45He would be back as soon as possible.
49:49The glass hit the wall,
49:51shattering.
49:52Sofia sneered.
49:53I am not your madam.
49:56Get out.
49:57The terrified maid scrambled out.
49:59Sofia bent down,
50:00and picked up the sharpest shard of glass.
50:04Vincent handed his suit jacket to the maid.
50:06Where is she?
50:08In the master bedroom.
50:11Vincent pushed,
50:12opened the bedroom door,
50:13his face filled with terror.
50:15Sofia was sitting on the edge of the bed.
50:17A startling gash marked her wrist,
50:19blood dripping from her fingertips,
50:21onto the carpet,
50:23staining it crimson.
50:24Vincent's pupils contracted.
50:26He rushed forward,
50:27and seized her wrist.
50:28If you dare to die,
50:30I will make the entire
50:32Sterling family die with you.
50:34Sofia looked up,
50:35a mocking smile on her pale face.
50:38What will it take for you
50:39to finally let me go?
50:42Say you love me.
50:44In your dreams.
50:45Vincent stared at her,
50:47then suddenly smiled,
50:49a look that sent a chill down her spine.
50:51He let her go and turned to Marco.
50:53Contact the global media.
50:55Now.
50:56Marco froze.
50:57Boss, you mean...
50:58A live stream.
51:00Of my wedding to Sofia.
51:03Cameras were end at the bedroom's French doors.
51:06Vincent had changed into a black suit.
51:08Sofia was forced into a wedding dress.
51:11A silk ribbon hiding a wound on her wrist.
51:14Vincent gripped Sofia's waist,
51:16and leaned in to kiss her.
51:17Sofia struggled,
51:19biting his lip hard enough to draw blood.
51:21Blood trickled from his mouth,
51:23dripping onto her white dress.
51:25The live stream cut out abruptly,
51:27but it was too late.
51:28The world was in an opera.
51:30Vincent!
51:31Are you insane?
51:32Sofia shoved him away,
51:34his blood staining her lips.
51:35Vincent wiped the blood from his mouth
51:37and laughed softly.
51:39Now,
51:39the whole world knows you're mine.
51:41Sofia looked at him
51:43and felt like she was looking at a stranger.
51:45On the 27th day of her captivity,
51:47Sofia learned to be obedient.
51:49What do you want to eat today?
51:52He asked one morning,
51:53tying his tie by the bed.
51:55Her voice was calm.
51:56Whatever you make.
51:58Vincent's fingers paused.
51:59A flash of soup crossed his eyes,
52:01followed by a smile.
52:03Alright.
52:04He turned and went to the kitchen.
52:06The moment he was gone,
52:07Sofia threw back the covers
52:09and pulled a microcomputer
52:10from under the mattress
52:11stolen from his study last week.
52:13She had breached the island's security system.
52:16An encrypted distress signal was sent.
52:18Three nights later,
52:19Sofia stood on the edge of a cliff.
52:21Hurried footsteps came from behind.
52:24Alexander had arrived with his men.
52:27Princess!
52:28He yelled,
52:29rushing toward her.
52:30Come with me!
52:31Sofia granced back at the guards chasing them
52:33and suddenly smiled.
52:35Alexander,
52:36are you afraid of heights?
52:37Before he could react,
52:39Sofia grabbed his hand
52:40and jumped off the cliff.
52:42Soaked to the bone,
52:44Sofia and Alexander struggled
52:45onto a small hidden shore.
52:48Let's go!
52:49Alexander pulled her toward
52:50a waiting speedboat.
52:52Just then,
52:53a blinding spotlight hit then.
52:55Vincent stood on the shore,
52:56flanked by dozens of guards.
52:59Done running.
53:00His voice was ice.
53:01Sofia shielded Alexander with her body.
53:04Vincent,
53:05let him go.
53:06Vincent stared at her,
53:08then smiled,
53:09faintly.
53:09I can.
53:11But you have to stay.
53:14Before Sofia could enter,
53:16a loud rumbling thing from the cliff above,
53:19a giant boulder had come loose,
53:21tumbling straight toward them.
53:23Watch out!
53:24Vincent lunged,
53:26shoving both of them out of the way.
53:27The boulder crashed down on his legs.
53:30Blood instantly stained the seawater red.
53:32The impact threw Sofia to the ground,
53:35and her head hit a rock.
53:37Her vision blackened,
53:39but she forced her eyes open.
53:41She saw Vincent lying in a pool of blood.
53:44His face chanced,
53:45his gaze locked on her.
53:46Sofia,
53:48are you okay?
53:49Sofia's mouth opened.
53:51Vincent,
53:52let me go.
53:54But her vision went dark.
53:57When Vincent woke up,
53:59the first thing he felt
54:00was a deep numbness in his legs.
54:02The doctor stood by his bed,
54:04his voice low.
54:05Mr. Marcelli,
54:07your spinal nerves are damaged.
54:10Your lower body's motor functions might be.
54:12He didn't finish,
54:13but the meaning was clear.
54:15Marco's eyes were red.
54:17I'll go tell Miss Sofia,
54:18if she knows you did this,
54:20to save her.
54:21Shut up.
54:23Shut up.
54:23Vincent cut him off coldly.
54:26No one says a word.
54:27He turned to look out the window,
54:29the sunlight stinging his eyes.
54:31He remembered the last thing he saw.
54:34Sofia lying on the ground,
54:36hell,
54:36forcing out the words,
54:38Vincent,
54:38let me go.
54:40In that moment,
54:41he finally understood a pain worse than death.
54:44Some mistakes,
54:45once made,
54:46truly meant losing the one you love forever.
54:49One month later,
54:51Vincent sat in his wheelchair watching the news.
54:53Sterling Group CEO Alexander,
54:56Sterling and Italian,
54:58socialite married today in the grand ceremony.
55:01On the screen,
55:01Sofia was in a wedding dress,
55:03her smile brilliant.
55:04She used to smile at him like that.
55:06Before he had sided with Isabella,
55:09time and time again,
55:10the courier rang the doorbell
55:12while Vincent was sitting in the ruins
55:13of the burned-down mansion.
55:15Sir,
55:15a package for you.
55:18Vincent took it.
55:19It was a small box,
55:21with still eagles,
55:21a men's wedding band,
55:23exquisitely crafted.
55:24The inside was engraved,
55:26to Vincent,
55:27with all my love,
55:28still e buns,
55:29it a jaguar in this,
55:30ass.
55:31There was also a card.
55:32Mr. Marcelli,
55:33the men's wedding ring Miss Sofia commissioned three months ago is now complete.
55:37We wish you a happy marriage.
55:39Vincent's hand trembled,
55:40the ring fell to the ground,
55:41with a soft clink.
55:43So,
55:44she had wanted to marry him.
55:45A tearing pain ripped through his chest.
55:48He doubled over,
55:49gasping for breath.
55:50A neighbor walked by,
55:52and asked curiously,
55:53Sir,
55:54this house is a ruin,
55:56are you waiting for someone?
55:57Vincent looked up,
55:58the setting sun illuminating his pale face.
56:01He called,
56:02Yes,
56:03I'm waiting.
56:04But he knew she was never coming back.
56:06The sun set,
56:07reading him alone in the ruins.
56:09He wet a cigarette,
56:10and looked toward the horizon,
56:11as if he could still hear that proud voice,
56:13calling his name.
56:15Vincent Marcelli.
