Short filmTranscript
00:13I had chased Adrian Vale for five years, but the night Adrian was drugged, he would rather
00:22bite through his tongue than touch me, from that day on, I became the biggest joke among
00:30New York's mafia families, to punish me, Adrian cut off my family's access to the East
00:34River dock, my father and brother almost died in a warehouse ambush, my mom cried every
00:39day, to get me away from the scandal, my family sent me to Sicily overnight, I stayed away
00:44for five years, the day I finally returned to New York, someone laughed and said,
00:52Adrian Vale still hasn't married, maybe you should try again, no thanks, I'm not planning
00:59to find my son a new father, the room went quiet, then I looked up and saw Adrian Vale
01:03standing across the hall, for once, the man who could watch a gunfight without blinking
01:07looked stunned, I knew we might meet again, I just did not expect it to happen this soon,
01:14you're married, Adrian was still cold, clean cut and untouchable, but my heart no longer
01:18moved at every glance from him, you haven't answered me, yes, my son is three, he looks
01:29a lot like me, what kind of trick is this now, Vivian Ramono, are you playing hard to get,
01:41so Adrian will finally look at you, I turned around and gave Serena Blake a cold glance,
01:47Serena had hated me five years ago, marriage had not made her any less annoying,
01:51if I were her, I would hide forever after what she did, I can't believe she had the nerve
01:56to come back, didn't you say you were married with a kid, where are they, bring them out
02:03and show us, the president's daughter missed Leo, so Lucian had taken him to the White House
02:07for afternoon tea, I did not know when they would return, when I stayed silent, Serena
02:12and the others became certain I was lying, I knew it, a woman like her would say anything,
02:16what man would marry a woman Adrian Volt wouldn't even touch,
02:21I still remember how she swore she would marry Adrian or no one, she even drugged him to force
02:27her way into his bed, Adrian clearly remembered it too, his expression turned cold again,
02:32Vivian, no matter what game you're playing, I will never love you, I rolled my eyes, I
02:39had heard that line too many times, back then I fell for Adrian at a Valentino family gala,
02:43after that, I chased him without any pride, I learned his schedule and memorized his favorite
02:48wine, for Christmas I sent him a rare case of Sicilian red, on his mother's death anniversary,
02:53I sent white roses to the chapel, I even fought another woman over a pair of vintage cufflinks
02:58he had once glanced at, everyone in our circle laughed at me, but I did not care,
03:02I thought if I tried hard enough, Adrian would finally see me, then one night, Adrian was drugged,
03:07I happened to enter his room, he thought I had done it, to stay awake, he bit through his tongue
03:12and threw me out, after the story spread, Adrian cut my family off from the East River Dock House,
03:17the damage nearly drove the Romano family, and I was sent to Sicily to escape the scandal,
03:22thinking of that, I looked at Adrian without expression,
03:24believe me or not, I'm already married, I won't bother you again Mr. Velt,
03:30then I ignored their reactions and found a seat, I had not forgotten why I came here today,
03:35the next second Adrian sat down beside me, I raised an eyebrow, five years ago he avoided
03:40me like a disease, today he came closer on his own, don't misunderstand, every other seat is taken,
03:47the auction was about to begin, so I ignored him, then the auctioneer brought out a vintage
03:51Patek Philippe watch, Adrian and I raised our paddles at the same time, he froze for
03:55a second, then his hand slowly lowered, Serena noticed at once,
04:00see, I told you she never gave up, she just came back to New York and already found out
04:05Adrian would be here, she even knows he wants that watch, how touching, this isn't her first time
04:13is it, when has Adrian ever accepted anything from her, years ago I had given Adrian many gifts,
04:18he accepted none of them, but this watch was not for him, it was for Lucian, his old watch had
04:23been scratched from years of handling guns, contracts and blades, when I saw this one on
04:28the auction list, I decided to buy it for him, I just did not expect to run into Adrian and
04:33his
04:33people here, explaining would be pointless, so I said nothing, they took my silence as guilt,
04:38when the second round of bidding began, Serena exchanged a look with her friends,
04:42then she raised her paddle, one million dollars, everyone turned to look at her, the watch was
04:47rare, but it was not worth that much, I knew she was doing it on purpose, I raised my paddle,
04:52one million and one, soon the price climbed to two million, just as I raised my hand again,
05:00Adrian caught my wrist, you don't have to fight them over me, besides, I won't accept anything from
05:05you, this is for my husband, what does it have to do with you, Adrian's face turned ugly, he stopped
05:16trying to stop me, he just watched Serena and me bid back and forth, in the end, I bought the
05:21watch
05:21for eight million dollars, after I paid, I picked up the box and turned to leave, then my hand was
05:27suddenly empty, Serena had smashed the box from me, Serena tossed the box to the woman beside her,
05:33they passed it around like they were playing with a toy, that's mine, give it back,
05:42Adrian won't accept your gift anyway, it would be a waste to leave it with you,
05:49right? Adrian frowned, he was still angry over what I had said, so he did not answer,
05:54Serena took his silence as permission, she opened the box and fastened the watch around her wrist,
05:58no wonder Adrian wanted it, it really is beautiful, too bad something this good ended
06:05up with you, why don't you sell it to me? Sure, 10 million dollars, cash first, you're robbing
06:19me, if you can't afford it, give it back, fine, then you'd better catch it, before I could react,
06:27Serena threw the watch into the air, a sharp crack rang through the hall, the watch hit the
06:32marble floor and shattered, oh no, I told you to catch it, Vivian, why are you so clumsy? I looked
06:42at her coldly, she met my eyes with open provocation, before anyone could react, I grabbed her hair and
06:47slapped her across the face once, twice, three times, Serena froze, then she screams,
06:58Bitch, you hit me?
07:05That's exactly what I did, she had been provoking me since the moment I walked in, there was no need
07:10to
07:10endure it anymore, her cheeks swelled red, what are you standing there for? Get her!
07:17They rushed at me together, I kicked one woman down, then I shoved another into the table,
07:21years ago they had never been my match, now they were even worse,
07:29Just as I was about to strike again, Adrian grabbed me,
07:33Enough!
07:36Get lost! He had watched them humiliate me and destroy my things, now he wanted to act like a
07:41peacemaker, Adrian froze under my stare, before he could speak, a group of armed guards rushed into
07:47the hall, the man leading them was Victor Kane, Serena's husband, the moment Serena saw him,
07:51she threw herself into his arms, Victor, you came just in time, you have to make her pay!
08:05You hit my wife?
08:07Yes.
08:10You've got nerve, take her downstairs, I'll teach her some manners myself.
08:24Don't you dare touch me, my husband is Lucien Costello, touch me and see what happens.
08:34My husband is Lucien Costello.
08:39What did she just say?
08:43Lucien Costello? The man leading the most powerful mafia in the world?
08:49How that impossible, Adrian wouldn't even touch her.
08:55And she thinks the mafia king Lucien Costello would marry her?
08:59Everyone knows Lucien Costello lives in Sicily, he barely shows his face.
09:04If he ever married, it would be to a woman from one of the old families, not her.
09:11Vivian, stop lying.
09:15I apologize to Victor and Serena.
09:19I'm not lying. Lucien and I married in Sicily five years ago. I came back to New York with him.
09:27Still pretending?
09:29Victor stood behind her with his armed guards, they had more people, and I had never liked bringing bodyguards everywhere.
09:34So I took off the Costello signet ring Lucien had given me.
09:39The Costello crest is right here. Now, do you believe me?
09:42You really are Mrs. Costello.
09:44Adrian stared at me. For once, I could not read the look in his eyes. But Serena snatched the ring
09:49off the table.
09:50Don't let her fool you. She's always been good at dirty tricks.
09:54This has to be fake!
09:56Adrian's brows tightened. Victor clearly believed her a little. After all, Lucien rarely appeared in New York. Few people had
10:02ever seen his wife.
10:03You know what happens to people who fake the Costello crest?
10:08Do you know what happens to people who insult Mrs. Costello?
10:13Enough with the act. I insulted you. So what?
10:18She ordered the guards to hold me down. Then she pulled a small knife from her purse.
10:30You slapped me seven times. I'll cut your face seven times. Let's see if you keep lying after that.
10:43I am Lucien Costello's wife. If you touch me today, my husband won't let any of you walk away.
10:49For a moment, Adrian looked like he wanted to speak. But when he heard that, his expression turned cold again.
10:56Five years, Vivian. And you still haven't learned. You lie. You scheme. And when it fails, you blame everyone else.
11:05Whatever happens today, you brought it on yourself.
11:08Even Adrian refused to stand with me. Serena smiled wider. She stepped closer and raised the knife. I shut my
11:14eyes.
11:15Who gave you permission to touch my wife?
11:20Lucien Costello walked into the hall with Leo in his arms. The moment his voice fell, his men rushed forward.
11:26They kicked Serena and the guards away from him. Leo struggled out of Lucien's arms and ran to me.
11:31Then he stood in front of me with his small arms spread wide.
11:35You're bad people. What were you doing to my mommy?
11:39Adrian froze at the word mommy. He pointed at Leo in disbelief.
11:42Vivian, who is he?
11:51My son, Leo Costello.
11:54No. That's impossible.
11:58How could you marry someone else?
12:04What? Do you have a problem with my wife, Adrian?
12:07You and him?
12:12I told you, I'm married. My husband is Lucien Costello.
12:20This was all a misunderstanding, Mrs. Costello. Please don't take it to heart.
12:29Victor Cain, you have quite a lot of nerve.
12:33The next second, he kicked Victor to the floor. Victor hit the ground hard and struggled to catch
12:37his breath. Then he scrambled onto his knees and slammed his forehead against the floor.
12:41Mr. Costello, please forgive me. Mr. Costello, please forgive me. Mr. Costello, if I had known she was
12:48your wife, I never would have dared. She hit me first. Victor was only trying to get justice for me.
12:55Even if she is your wife, she can't just go around bullying people. The women behind her quickly
12:59agree. We all saw it. Vivian hit her first. If she hadn't broken what I bought, why would I hit
13:07her?
13:08And there were five of you against me? You lost and you still have the nerve to complain?
13:15Shame. You're twisting the truth! I did not bother arguing with her. I handed
13:22Leo back to Lucien. Then I took out the receipt. Mrs. Cain broke my property. How do you plan to
13:30settle this? Lucien looked at Victor. Well, Victor, we'll pay double.
13:40We'll pay Mrs. Costello double. Double. 16 million dollars. Serena almost blacked out.
13:47Victor! Shut up! Victor snapped at her. The coldness in his
13:50eyes scared her silent. Lucien looked at Serena. You should be glad I don't hit women.
13:55Then he held Leo with one arm and took my hand with the other. We were about to leave.
14:00Behind us, Adrian suddenly stepped forward. Vivian.
14:06What is it, Mr. Vale?
14:09Don't you have anything to say to me?
14:13No. Everything I needed to say had been said five years ago.
14:17Mommy, who is this man? Lucien raised an eyebrow and looked at me too.
14:23Someone I used to know. Adrian's face went white.
14:25Not important. I did not look at him again.
14:29Three days later, Victor sent 16 million dollars to the Costello family. At first,
14:34he thought the watch only cost a few hundred thousand. When he learned the real price,
14:39he kicked Serena out of his bedroom that night. After that, he spent every night with another
14:43woman and left her alone. With 16 million dollars for nothing. I bought Lucien 10 more watches in one
14:49afternoon. Enough for him to wear a different one every day. Lucien looked at the velvet boxes and
14:55laughed helplessly. A few days later, the Costello family held a private dinner. Lucien had been
15:00away from New York for years. His mother had written months ago, insisting that he bring Leo and me
15:05back. At dinner, Donna Costello held Leo in her arms and laughed until her eyes bent. But I could feel
15:10someone staring at me. Adrian, from the moment I arrived, his eyes never left me. I did not know what
15:16he wanted. But I did not care. Until he blocked my way beneath the corridor lights.
15:22What happened between you and Lucien Costello? How did you end up with him?
15:28Shouldn't I thank you for that? If not for you, I never would have met him.
15:35Five years ago, my family sent me to Sicily after the scandal. I stayed inside my grandfather's estate
15:41every day. I did not want to see anyone. Lucien often came over to play chess with my grandfather.
15:46We had met a few times. But we barely spoke. Then one afternoon, I slipped while climbing down from an
15:53orange tree. Before I hit the ground, Lucien caught me. To thank him, I invited him to dinner. After that,
16:05we slowly started talking. He took me riding. He drove me along the coast. When I could not sleep,
16:10he stayed with me. Later, with my grandfather's blessing, I married him. Then we had Leo. I was
16:15still thinking about those days when Adrian suddenly grabbed my wrist.
16:29No. No. I love him. I married him because I wanted to.
16:39But you loved me. Five years ago, I did.
16:43I loved him without pride. I gave him everything I could. But all he gave me was coldness, humiliation,
16:48and punishment. My family's tears finally woke me up. I had let him go a long time ago.
16:53Now my heart held only Lucien and our son. I was young and foolish before.
17:00I bothered you for years.
17:05I'm sorry.
17:16Lucien did not spare Adrian a glance. He walked over and took my hand.
17:21Leo is looking for you. Why are you here?
17:30Lucien. Lucien looked at Adrian's hand on my wrist. The air around him changed. Before Adrian
17:35could react, Lucien kicked him into the pillar. Adrian hit the wall hard. His face lost all color
17:40from the pain. She is my wife, Vale. Remember who you are. Then he took me away. Adrian stayed by
17:48the
17:48pillar and watched us leave. A tear slid down his face. After the Costello dinner, the news spread
17:55through New York. Vivian Romano was now Lucien Costello's wife. People had almost forgotten the
18:00old scandal between Adrian and me. But a few days later, the rumors came back. This time, they were
18:05even worse. Every detail was twisted. People blamed me for things I had never done. I was afraid Lucien
18:11might misunderstand, so I tried to explain. About what happened five years ago.
18:17You don't need to explain. I believe you. Lucien, thank you. Lucien trusted me. But the rumors still
18:25caused trouble. Everywhere I went, people stared. Even Donna Costello wanted to ask about it. But Lucien
18:31stopped her. A few days later, Lucien found out who had spread the rumors. Serena Blake. Lucien also
18:37uncovered what had really happened five years ago. He had Serena's personal maid brought in.
18:42The guards only scared her a little. Then she confessed everything. Serena had loved Adrian for
18:46years. But she never dared to tell him. When she saw me chasing him so openly, she hated me for
18:52it.
18:54So that night, Serena drugged Adrian.
18:57She planned to climb into his bed. But at the last moment, she lost her nerve.
19:01Then I happened to enter Adrian's suite. Adrian thought I had drugged him. He bit through his
19:06tongue and threw me out. After that, Serena spread the story herself. She made me the
19:11target of every joke in New York. She made my family lose the docs, and she forced me to leave
19:16the city. When Lucien told me the truth, my hands started shaking. For five years, every insult had
19:21started with Serena. I wanted to drag her out and beat her until my hands hurt. But then I stopped.
19:26Serena loved Adrian and never dared to tell him, right? Then I would help her. The next morning,
19:31Serena's love letters to Adrian appeared in every gossip paper in New York. By noon, footage of
19:37her maid's confession was playing across the billboards in Times Square. I wanted Serena to
19:42know what it felt like to be pointed at by everyone. Victor had already lost 16 million dollars because
19:47of her. He had also lost his position under Adrian. When he heard the truth, he stormed home drunk and
19:52furious. Serena had no idea what had happened. Victor? You bitch! Look what you've done!
20:04Victor, what did I do? Why are you treating me like this? You drugged Adrian Volt. You framed
20:11Vivian Romano and you spread the scandal through New York. You still have the nerve to ask me why?
20:17Serena froze. She clearly had not expected Victor to know. But even then, she refused to admit it.
20:25Every gossip paper in New York printed your letters. And your maid's confession is playing
20:30across Times Square. Serena's face changed. She opened her mouth. But Victor did not give
20:35her the chance to speak. He threw divorce papers at her. Sign them, then get out of my house.
20:40Serena refused to leave. So Victor had his men drag her back to the Blake family.
20:45Get in here!
20:48But the Blakes thought she had disgraced them. They did not even let her through the door.
20:54That same night, Serena was sent to a remote estate upstate.
20:59After Adrian learned the truth, he sent a request to the Costello house. He wanted to see me. I
21:04refused. There was nothing left to say between us. But Adrian would not give up. A few days later,
21:09I went out to buy something for Leo. The moment I stepped out of the store, Adrian blocked my way.
21:15Vivian. About what happened five years ago. I misunderstood you. I'm sorry.
21:23It's over.
21:26Will you give me another chance? What?
21:32I've regretted it for five years. I regret not telling you sooner that I liked you.
21:39At the time, I was angry. I thought you had tricked me. I thought you were trying to force me
21:45to marry you.
21:46But I never thought you would leave so completely. Five years, Vivian. You left for five years.
21:56And you married another man.
22:00Adrian. Do you really not know why I left?
22:02Back then, I could not stay in New York at all. Before my family sent me to Sicily, I went
22:06to see
22:07Adrian. I wanted to tell him I had not drugged him. But he refused to let me through the door.
22:11I had done nothing wrong. Still, everyone judged me like a criminal. And Adrian drove me out of New
22:17York like one. I know I was wrong. Can you give me one chance to make it up to you?
22:23When I needed you most, you never stood up for me. You never protected me. Not even once.
22:28Now I don't need it anymore. If there's no reason for us to meet again, don't come look for me.
22:33I don't want my husband to misunderstand.
22:38I know I was wrong. As long as you give me one chance, I'll do anything.
22:46No. And I'm already married.
22:52I don't care. As long as you come back to me, I'll handle everything else.
22:57Years ago, I followed him without any pride. I endured every cold look he gave me. Now everything
23:03had turned around, but I did not feel happy. I only felt tired.
23:07Adrian, I love my husband and our son. Whatever we had ended five years ago.
23:14I don't care if this is regret or wounded pride. That's your problem. Deal with it yourself,
23:21and don't bother me again. Adrian's eyes were red. He looked like he wanted to say something.
23:27I turned around and left. This time, I did not look back.
23:31After that, I never saw Adrian again. I only heard that Adrian Vale, who never drank,
23:36spent several nights drunk in private clubs. Once, he even got into a fight. For a second,
23:40I was surprised. Was that really the cold, untouchable Adrian Vale? But his life had nothing
23:45to do with me anymore. In three days, Lucien and I would return to Sicily. Before we left,
23:50I took Leo to the old cathedral. That was where I first met Adrian years ago. I was distracted for
23:55only a moment. Then Leo disappeared. Leo? My heart stopped. Leo? Leo, where are you?
24:03I searched every corner of the cathedral. No one answered. I ran outside in panic. Finally,
24:08I found Leo near the side entrance. He was standing alone beneath the stone steps.
24:12Where did you go? You scared me. Sorry, Mommy.
24:16Only then did I notice the small jade pendant hanging around his neck. Where did you get this?
24:20A man gave it to me. I said I didn't want it. But he made me take it.
24:26My fingers froze around the pendant. Then I finally remembered. I had seen it on Adrian before.
24:31It was the pendant his mother left him. That same day, I had someone return the pendant to
24:36Adrian. It had belonged to his mother. Leo should not keep it. On the day we left New York, I
24:41saw
24:41Adrian standing in the crowd. He had lost a lot of weight. Still, he forced a smile when he saw
24:46me.
24:46I glanced at him once. Then I looked away. A month after we returned to Sicily, I heard that Adrian
24:52had
24:52handed control of the Vale family to his younger brother. After that, he entered the cathedral.
24:57The cathedral in New York was where I first met him. That was where I fell for him at first
25:01sight.
25:02Five years had passed. I had already moved on. But Adrian was still trapped in the past. That was his
25:07choice. I had nothing left to say. Two months after we returned to Sicily, I found out I was pregnant
25:13again.
25:15Leo pressed his ear against my stomach.
25:18Mommy, give me a sister. I want a sister. Eight months later, Leo got his wish. He held his
25:26baby sister in his arms and refused to let go. Lucien followed close behind him.
25:33Be careful, buddy. Hold her head. I looked at the three of them and smiled. My heart was already full.
25:39There was no room left for anyone else. A husband, two children. And ordinary days together.
25:44Nothing could make me happier.
