00:00On our wedding registration day, Ethan had me dragged out of City Hall.
00:04He brought his childhood sweetheart Madison in to sign the papers instead.
00:10Madison's baby needs a father on paper. Once we divorce, I'll marry you.
00:14Everyone thought I would swallow my pride and wait another month.
00:17After all, I had already waited seven years.
00:20But that same night, I fled overseas to go through with an arranged mafia marriage.
00:25I vanished from his world completely.
00:28Three years later, I returned with my husband for a Klan memorial.
00:32Last minute, he was pulled away to sort out a conflict on one of his territories.
00:35So he ordered one of his men from the local crew to pick me up.
00:39I stepped out of the airport and froze.
00:41I caught sight of a sign printed with my name in the arrivals hall.
00:45I stepped forward, only to run into Ethan, my ex I hadn't seen in three years.
00:50He'd brought Madison and a handful of his trusted crew.
00:54Once, Ethan had been nothing but nobody.
00:56Judging by his suit, he'd clearly climbed the ranks in the local mafia crew.
01:01All of them craned their necks, eagerly staring toward the exit.
01:05Ethan, isn't that your obsessed ex?
01:07Isn't that Natalie?
01:08Everyone turned to look at me, snickering and joking around.
01:12See? I told you guys she would come crawling back.
01:17Natalie disappeared for three years.
01:19Not a call, not a text.
01:21And now Ethan finally has power?
01:23And look who suddenly found her way back.
01:25She probably spent every night stalking his socials and crying into a cheap pillow.
01:30Natalie, if you're trying to stage a dramatic reunion, sweatpants were a bold choice.
01:36Couldn't you at least brush your hair first?
01:38Or did life without Ethan get so bad you stopped trying altogether?
01:41You look like you came here to beg for protection, not make a comeback.
01:45It was true.
01:46I used to spend hours getting ready for Ethan.
01:48Full makeup, tight dresses.
01:50I always made sure I looked absolutely perfect for him.
01:53But I did not need to do that anymore.
01:55I was pregnant, so my husband would not let me wear makeup.
01:59He wanted me to wear whatever felt comfortable.
02:01He even had this plain-looking loungewear custom-tailored for me in Paris.
02:05Listening to them mock me, it suddenly clicked.
02:08They knew they had been ordered to pick up Don Moretti's woman.
02:11But they had no idea that woman was me.
02:13An old acquaintance of mine quickly stepped in to diffuse the awkwardness.
02:16Anyway, it's nice having you back.
02:18Ethan actually spent years looking for you.
02:20He asked all over about you.
02:22Ethan's face stiffened for a second.
02:24Then he acted like nothing had happened.
02:27Madison's kid starts preschool next week.
02:29From now on, you're in charge of drop-off and pick-up.
02:31He was still incredibly arrogant.
02:33But I was not that naive little girl anymore.
02:35Seeing him only filled me with annoyance.
02:38I did not want to waste another second on them.
02:40I was just about to tell them exactly who I was.
02:43Natalie, don't blame Ethan for this.
02:44He's only trying to look out for you.
02:46You disappeared for three years.
02:47Who knows what kind of shady things you had to do to survive.
02:50Look at you.
02:50Life really chewed you up.
02:52Ethan even wanted to give you a job as my personal assistant.
02:54But clearly, that would be too much for you.
02:56Three years later, Madison was still just as stuck-up.
02:59Don't worry.
03:00Being my nurse-y is honest work.
03:02No one's going to look down on you for that.
03:05Her attitude alone made my stomach turn.
03:07Ethan misread my disgust as jealousy.
03:10All right, Natalie.
03:11Drop the attitude.
03:12You clearly couldn't make it on your own.
03:15So stop making a scene.
03:17Take care of the kid.
03:18And learn your place.
03:20Don't worry.
03:20We still have a spare room for the nanny downstairs.
03:23All you need to do is help Madison look after her kid.
03:27Isn't that far better than your miserable life right now?
03:30Come over and thank Ethan quickly.
03:34Don't worry, dear.
03:36If my son acts up, I'll make sure he behaves.
03:41I won't let anyone give you a hard time.
03:43Who's giving her a hard time?
03:45She disappeared over one tiny misunderstanding.
03:47If life got rough out there, maybe she needed the lesson.
03:51Hearing that, my heart actually skipped a beat.
03:54Even now, he still thought abandoning me at City Hall for Madison was only a tiny misunderstanding.
04:00The Ethan who used to love me was truly dead.
04:03He was no longer the boy who carried me across town while ignoring his own bleeding wounds.
04:08But whatever that love had been, it was all in the past.
04:12None of it mattered anymore.
04:14After all, I was about to give birth to my second baby anyway.
04:18I pushed all those swirling thoughts down.
04:20I had no desire to bicker with them here.
04:22Aren't you here to pick me up?
04:23Let's go.
04:24The scene went quiet for a moment.
04:26Several people exchanged looks.
04:28Then they suddenly burst into laughter.
04:32Waiting for you?
04:34Do you even deserve that?
04:37Read the sign.
04:38We're waiting for Mrs. Moretti.
04:41Do you even know who that is?
04:43Of course.
04:44I knew that was me.
04:45Mrs. Moretti is the lady of the Moretti family.
04:47She is Damon Moretti's lawful wife.
04:50And Don Moretti is a ruthless mafia boss.
04:55But in private, he is deeply devoted.
05:01People say he refused to get married back then because he was waiting for her.
05:05Everyone in this city knows this.
05:07Don't bother sucking up to Damon.
05:08Suck up to Mrs. Moretti.
05:13She is his entire world.
05:15Listening to them gossip about my marriage, I could not help smiling.
05:19A genuine smile spread across my face.
05:22After three years of marriage, Damon's business had grown bigger and bigger.
05:26And his reputation as a fiercely devoted husband had spread everywhere.
05:30Madison had always wanted to stand above me.
05:32She would never miss a chance to show off in front of me.
05:35To spoil his wife, Damon Moretti once bought a diamond bracelet at Christie's.
05:42It's called Eternal Heart.
05:43It costs $20 million.
05:46Mrs. Moretti is literally the most envied woman on earth.
05:50Madison pointed at my wrist.
05:53That's the exarcher of this narcissus.
05:56A hush fell over the crowd.
05:59Everyone's eyes locked onto the bracelet on my wrist.
06:05It's a pretty good fake.
06:06What broke delivery guy bought you this?
06:09A cheap knockoff as a gift?
06:11Pathetic.
06:12I yanked my hand free, smiling softly while brushing the bracelet.
06:17Ethan's eyes widened at my happy look.
06:19He grabbed my wrist and tore the bracelet off.
06:22I was caught off guard and couldn't stop him.
06:24Madison stepped up, took the bracelet from him, and twisted it in her hand.
06:28It really is a high-quality fake.
06:31Way better than the replica I bought.
06:34But I'd never wear mine in public.
06:37That would be humiliating.
06:39Foreign knockoffs really are something.
06:42The wait almost feels real.
06:44Wait.
06:46Don't tell me you're saying you're the real Mrs. Morelli.
06:50Natalie, are you seriously claiming you're the legendary Dawn's wife?
06:56They burst into loud laughter the second she finished speaking.
06:59It all sounded absurd to them.
07:01Damon was a notorious mafia genius.
07:07Cold-blooded and merciless in the underworld.
07:10Three years ago, I'd still been hanging around them.
07:14The girl Ethan left at the altar.
07:16No one could believe it.
07:18Alice twirled the bracelet around her finger.
07:20Natalie, why don't you sell me this fake?
07:23I'll pay you double whatever that broke delivery guy paid.
07:27Give that back right now.
07:29Damon gave that to me.
07:33Shut your mouth.
07:34Natalie, are you trying to get us both killed?
07:37You think you can just casually drop Don Morelli's name?
07:40Are you trying to drag me down with you?
07:42Are you trying to could be heartache?
07:44His friends immediately joined in.
07:46Do you have any idea how hard we fought for this airport pickup?
07:49Mon Moretti put Ethan's business under his protection last year.
07:52Now all of us survive under Moretti protection.
07:55The only way Ethan keeps his place in the Moretti circle is if we impress Mrs. Moretta.
07:59And you're out here spreading insane rumors about knowing him?
08:02Are you trying to ruin Ethan's career?
08:04I wiped the blood from my split lip.
08:07My stare must have been ice cold because Ethan frowned.
08:10A trace of panic flashed through his eyes.
08:13Madison pointed at me and snapped.
08:15Natalie, you ungrateful little...
08:18Ethan was kind enough to keep you off the street.
08:21Don't push your luck.
08:23I know you're bitter about the past, but trying to wreck his career just to get back
08:27at him?
08:29That's sick.
08:30Hearing her say that felt exactly like three years ago.
08:33No matter what I did, Madison twisted it.
08:36She would feed Ethan her poisoned version of the truth.
08:38In the early days, he used to defend me.
08:41But by the end, he always took her side.
08:43Just like right now.
08:45You're such a bitter, jealous woman.
08:48But this time, Ethan did not keep yelling at me.
08:50After a short silence, Lucas pulled out a $200,000 check.
08:55For the sake of what we used to be, I'll let this slide.
08:58Take the check.
09:00Go buy yourself something decent to wear.
09:03If you really don't want to nanny Madison's kid, I'll pull some strings and get you a proper
09:07job next week.
09:08Don't worry.
09:09Ever since the Moretti protection, this kind of money is pocket sheets in my world now.
09:13The way he handed me that check made me sick.
09:16No thank you, sir.
09:18I don't take handouts from strangers.
09:20He grabbed me before I could take a few steps.
09:22Natalie, I gave you money and you still refused?
09:25What do you mean?
09:26He questioned me with a cold face.
09:31I'm a stranger to you?
09:33The sweet-easing broke it up.
09:34It's better not to have an attack you bra for that.
09:36People might understand.
09:38I thought of my jealous husband.
09:42But Ethan glanced at Madison.
09:44Then he looked as if he had understood everything.
09:46The Moretti family is hosting a private gala for Don Moretti in three days.
09:51I plan to take you there to see the world, but you need to buy a proper outfit first.
09:55Don't embarrass me when the time comes.
09:57There really is no need.
09:59Hearing me refuse again, Ethan clenched his jaw so hard I could hear it.
10:04Natalie, you really have learned some attitude.
10:08Sure enough, poor people always have the worst temper.
10:11Since you don't want to go, forget it.
10:13I'll take Madison.
10:16Madison's eyes lit up.
10:17Ethan, I'll behave well.
10:19I absolutely won't embarrass you.
10:21I didn't want to keep getting tangled up with them.
10:24Before leaving, I left one sentence behind.
10:26I hope that in three days, you can still be this as confident.
10:34I practically sprinted out of the arrival terminal.
10:36The fresh air outside finally pushed down the nausea churning in my stomach.
10:41My mind flashed back to three years ago.
10:44My parents had been pressuring me into an arranged marriage overseas.
10:47I fought them on it.
10:49I could not marry that man, I thought.
10:51I begged Ethan, my boyfriend of seven years.
10:54Ethan, just elope with me.
10:57Ethan agreed.
10:59Let's leave here.
11:02But when I showed up, he'd brought his childhood sweetheart, Madison, to marry.
11:11Her child needs a legal father.
11:14I will divorce Madison in a month, then marry you.
11:19He told me not to overthink it.
11:21Don't overthink it.
11:22Watching him hold her hand and walk into that clerk's office, I was completely done.
11:28I flew overseas for a blind date that very night.
11:33A month later, I married Damon Moretti.
11:39A year later, we had our first baby.
11:42And now, I was pregnant with our second.
11:45Honestly, if it had not been for Damon's family memorial, I never would have set foot back in this country.
11:51And I definitely would not have run into Ethan.
11:53Three days later, I showed up to the Moretti charity gala alone.
11:57I wore light makeup and my custom loungewear.
11:59The second Ethan saw me, his eyes lit up.
12:02A smug smirk spread across his face.
12:04You said you wouldn't come, but your body is honest.
12:07If you want to chase me and make me turn back, you at least need to make me happy.
12:11For an occasion like today, you need to dress properly.
12:15Only then can you match my status.
12:18I ignored him and walked toward my own seat.
12:21Ethan grabbed my arm.
12:22Natalie, I'm talking to you.
12:24Did you hear me?
12:26Our seats are right here.
12:27Where do you think you're going?
12:30I pulled my arm free.
12:32Those are your seats.
12:37My seat is over there.
12:39Madison's eyes turned sharp.
12:41Natalie, how did you sneak in here?
12:43Are you here to cause trouble?
12:46How dare you wear that bracelet?
12:49The guests around us began whispering.
12:51Wait, is that the Eternal Heart bracelet?
12:54The one Dodd Morelli bought for his wife?
12:56Tonight is Mrs. Morelli's first public appearance.
12:58Is this woman trying to insult Mrs. Marina?
13:01She snuck in?
13:02Is she trying to embarrass us in front of Doc Morelli?
13:04One of the guests turned to Ethan.
13:06Excuse me, Ethan.
13:08Is this young lady with you?
13:11No, I don't know her.
13:14Take that fake bracelet off and get out.
13:18Are you sure you want me to leave?
13:21What are you pretending for?
13:22Stop acting like you're important.
13:25Hurry up and take off the bracelet.
13:27She lunged forward to snatch it off my wrist.
13:29I swatted her hand away and stepped back.
13:31Someone tripped me out of nowhere.
13:33I crashed to the floor, dazed.
13:41You're really treating this cheap garbage like it's treasure?
13:46Madison pinned my hand under her heel.
13:49Pain shot through my hand.
13:51My wrist was scraped raw and bleeding, but I only sat there,
13:55staring blankly at the snapped bracelet and the diamonds scattered across the floor.
13:59Pick her up and throw her out.
14:01A few security guards immediately surrounded me.
14:05They reached down to grab my arms and legs.
14:07I panicked and struggled.
14:09Get your hands off me!
14:15I am Damon Moretzis!
14:18Are you going to make up rumors again?
14:20Are you going to say you are Don Moretzis' mistress now?
14:23You're insane.
14:24When I came back to the States this time,
14:26I had not planned to bother with revenge.
14:29It felt beneath me.
14:31But right now, I was going to make sure she paid for this.
14:35Ethan crouched down in front of me.
14:39Natalie, are you done throwing your little fit?
14:41You showed up wearing a fake diamond bracelet and dressed like you rolled out of bed.
14:48Now that you see I'm doing well, you want to make me jealous?
14:51If you want me back, just beg.
14:53I'll say yes.
14:58Ethan, you are absolutely screwed.
15:01Suddenly, the entire ballroom went dead silent.
15:03The guests in the hall began fixing their clothes.
15:06They all moved toward the entrance.
15:08Ethan quickly pulled me up.
15:09Don Moretti is here.
15:11Behave yourself.
15:14And don't worry, Natalie.
15:15Madison and I are already divorced.
15:17I stared at him while rubbing my bruised hand.
15:20This man was absolutely repulsive.
15:23What did his divorce have to do with me?
15:25At that exact moment, Damon walked through the doors.
15:29Everyone surrounded him the moment he came in.
15:31He was holding our toddler in his arms.
15:34Once they entered the ballroom, my son squirmed to get down.
15:37Damon set him on the floor.
15:38The adorable little boy instantly captured the whole room's attention.
15:43His nanny hurried nervously behind him.
15:45If you stop being jealous and stop provoking Madison,
15:48I'll forgive you for disappearing for three years.
15:50I'll give you a chance to bear our baby.
15:52I did not speak.
15:53I only looked past him trying to catch Damon in my son's eyes through the crowd.
15:57Then it happened.
15:58Finally, Damon followed our son's steps.
16:01They walked to me.
16:02At that moment, panic appeared on his face.
16:05He ran straight into my arms.
16:07Mommy, who hurt you?
16:10Why is there so much blood?
16:13The word mommy echoed through the silent room.
16:16The guests who had coldly watched me get bullied just now
16:19all widened their eyes in disbelief.
16:22My son's warm hug instantly washed away my disgust.
16:25Mommy's fine, baby.
16:33Mommy, who dared to do this to you?
16:35Before I could comfort him, the air in the room seemed to freeze.
16:39A heavy, suffocating pressure settled over the crowd.
16:43Damon was walking toward us.
16:45The terrified guests parted for him.
16:47Ever since I got pregnant with our second baby,
16:50he had been almost insanely overprotective.
16:53He was glued to my side 24-7.
16:56I instantly regretted flying back ahead of him.
16:58I picked up our son and turned around.
17:01The blood on my wrist looked even brighter against my son's white shirt.
17:05Daddy, someone bullied mommy.
17:07We have to get back at them.
17:18Natalie, what happened?
17:20Seeing this ruthless mafia boss become so fiercely protective
17:23made my heart melt.
17:25He was so protective.
17:26A mosquito bite.
17:27A tiny mark from sleep.
17:29If I ate half a spoonful less at dinner.
17:31He would worry instantly.
17:33But I loved how intensely he cared about me.
17:36The ballroom lights were dim,
17:37but our son felt something hard under his shoe.
17:39He bent down and picked up the largest sapphire from my broken bracelet.
17:43Daddy, isn't this the present you gave mommy?
17:45Damon took the sapphire and flipped it over.
17:48When he saw his own engraved initials,
17:50he looked at the scattered gems on the floor.
17:52Then he looked at my torn, bleeding wrist.
17:55His hand gripped the armrest of a nearby chair so hard,
17:58the metal bent under his fingers.
18:00Frustrated by the shadows,
18:01he firmly guided me into the chair.
18:06Turn on every single light in this room.
18:14What happened to your face?
18:18They actually dare to do this to you?
18:21I'm fine, Damon.
18:23Natalie,
18:24I am your husband.
18:29No one touches my wife and walks away clean.
18:33No one bullies mommy.
18:34Honestly, I could have handled Ethan and Madison myself,
18:37but maybe it was the pregnancy hormones.
18:40Or maybe it was because I finally felt safe.
18:42All the exhaustion I had been holding in finally broke through.
18:45You weren't here.
18:47They all ganged up on me.
18:49The guys from the airport were literally shaking.
18:52They gripped the cocktail tables just to stay upright.
18:55The woman they had mocked at the airport was actually Don Moretti's wife.
18:58They were desperate to find a hole to crawl into.
19:00But then Madison's little minion, Brooke, strutted out of the crowd.
19:07Natalie,
19:08where did you hire these two actors?
19:11Their acting is pretty good.
19:14Do you want Madison to get them an agent?
19:17You're clearly too broke to afford your own clothes.
19:21I have an outfit I already wore once.
19:23If you don't mind.
19:24I can give it to you so you won't embarrass yourself.
19:30Brooke had arrived late.
19:31She had completely missed Damon's terrifying entrance.
19:35She was just Madison's lapdog, dressed up to snag a rich husband tonight.
19:39And she knew the easiest way to impress Madison was to bully me.
19:43Brooke laughed loudly at her own joke.
19:46Usually, the guys would have laughed along with her immediately.
19:49But this time, the entire ballroom stared at her like she had a death wish.
19:54Brooke noticed the dead silence, but she doubled down.
19:56She looked right at Damon and smirked.
19:58You're pretty handsome.
20:04If you leave Natalie, I might just keep you for myself.
20:07Her words made the corner of my mouth twitch.
20:10How embarrassing.
20:11She actually thought she could keep Damon Moretti?
20:14I honestly did not know if she was incredibly brave or incredibly stupid.
20:18Anyone with functioning eyes could tell Damon was not someone you messed with.
20:22Damon gave a low, humorless laugh.
20:24If I offered to keep him, he would probably be thrilled.
20:27But if any other woman said that, he would only think she was asking to die.
20:31Over the years, any woman who tried to throw herself at him was either...
20:52Only if she went to see if she wanted to take it to the left or not her around.
20:52That should be able to lift her, then why did she get to share?
20:53And maybe she even said to us, but she couldn't hold her.
20:53Π²ΡΠΉ outras in her path will.
20:58Okay.
21:01Look at the place.
21:03Come forth.
21:13I want to marry+.
21:13Win for her.
21:13.
