FunTranscript
00:00At 9 months pregnant, I was in the final stretch of my term, and my body heavy with a baby
00:05due any day.
00:06But my husband Vito Falcone, underboss of the family, had locked me away.
00:10He held me in a sterile underground medical room and injected me with a labor suppressor.
00:15As I screamed in agony, he coldly told me.
00:23Barrett.
00:30Why are you doing this to me?
00:32Because his brother's widow, Scarlet, was expected to go into labor at the exact same time.
00:38A blood oath he'd made with his late brother declared that the firstborn son would inherit the family's lucrative West
00:45Coast territory.
00:47That inheritance belongs to Scarlet's child.
00:50With Daydawn gone, she is utterly alone and destitute.
00:53You have my love, Alessia.
00:55All of it.
00:56I just need her to deliver safely.
00:58Then it's your turn.
01:00The drug was a constant, agonizing torment.
01:04Please.
01:05Take me to a hospital.
01:09Please.
01:10He grabbed me by the throat.
01:12Forcing me to meet his icy gaze.
01:15Stop the act.
01:16I know you're fine.
01:17You're just trying to steal the inheritance.
01:20To get ahead of Scarlet, you'll stop at nothing.
01:23My face was ashen.
01:24My body convulsed as I managed a desperate whisper.
01:28The baby's coming.
01:30I don't care about the inheritance.
01:32I just love you.
01:35And I want our child to be born safely.
01:40He sneered.
01:42If you were really that innocent, if you had an ounce of love for me, you wouldn't have forced Scarlet
01:47to sign that prenup waiving her child's inheritance rights.
01:52Don't worry.
01:53I'll be back for you after she's given birth.
01:55You're carrying my own flesh and blood after all.
01:59Vito closed the heavy front door.
02:08Heavily pregnant, I dragged myself across the floor, crawling towards the heavy steel door.
02:14Just as the heavy door slammed shut with a deafening bang, my fingers were caught in the jam.
02:20I heard the sickening crunch of bone.
02:22A fresh wave of agony ripped through me, overwhelming the torment of the drug.
02:26A piercing scream tore from my throat, but Vito nervously picked up Scarlet's call.
02:31He was deaf to my cries.
02:33Scarlet, wait for me.
02:35I'll be right there.
02:40Suddenly, warm fluid leaked down.
02:43I knew my water had broken.
02:46Fear, cold and absolute, consumed me.
02:50My only light was the faint, ghostly green glow of a single emergency exit sign above the door.
02:56I forced myself to stay calm, pounding on the door and screaming for help.
03:02Is there anyone who can save me?
03:06Is there anyone who can save me?
03:09But this was Vito's private surgical room, isolated and soundproof, where was plunged into near total darkness with no windows
03:16to the outside world.
03:17Vito, come back.
03:20No one could hear my weakening cries.
03:24The baby inside me kicked violently, as if trying to break free from this cold prison.
03:30Honey, just wait a little longer.
03:34Dad will be back soon.
03:37I don't know.
03:39I was soaked through, though I couldn't tell if it was with sweat or blood.
03:44The toxins in the labor suppressant were sapping my strength, draining the life from me with every passing second.
03:50I summoned my last ounce of energy for one final, desperate scream.
03:57Finally, I heard footsteps outside.
04:01Please, help me.
04:02I shrieked, my voice raw.
04:05I'm locked in the surgical room.
04:07I'm in labor.
04:13I repeated it over and over, thinking my salvation had come.
04:17But then a voice answered, dripping with sadistic glee.
04:21Well, well, Alessia.
04:23Look at the pathetic state you're in.
04:26Vito should have taught you to obey a long time ago.
04:30It was Vito's sister, Gianna.
04:35I squeezed my eyes shut, fighting to keep my voice steady.
04:44Gianna, please, let me out.
04:45The baby's coming.
04:46I can't hold on.
04:49Gianna pushed open the door and stared down at me, her face a mask of pure contempt.
04:54For a fleeting moment, I thought she might help.
04:59The next, she slammed her foot into my ribs.
05:03The blow stole my breath, and black spots danced in my vision.
05:08Her voice was as sharp as a razor's edge.
05:14Let you out, so you can ruin Scarlet's delivery?
05:17Just stay put, Alessia.
05:19Vito sent me to watch you.
05:23Gianna took out her phone and gestured toward me.
05:25You're not fit to be Vito's wife.
05:27He wanted me to make sure you stayed put and reflected on what you've done.
05:30Vito has enough on his plate without you causing more trouble.
05:33Scarlet's child will be the heir to this family.
05:36Your little tricks won't change that.
05:44Another violent contraction ripped a scream from my lips.
05:47Tears streamed down my cheeks as I gasped.
05:50My child won't be part of the family business.
05:52I'll give up everything.
05:53Get a message to Vito.
05:55Let me go.
05:56I will vanish from this family and never look back.
05:59I swear on it.
06:06My scream seemed only to infigurate her.
06:09She scowled.
06:12Slut.
06:13Who do you think you're seducing with all that noise?
06:16Pathetic.
06:17Then she keyed at her phone, contacting Vito.
06:21Scarlet, with her heavily pregnant belly, wears sexy lingerie as she guides Vito's hand into her underwear.
06:28Vito pulls her underwear down, holding a razor as he prepares to shave her.
06:32He tosses his phone aside and gives Gianna her instructions.
06:36Keep a close eye on Alessia.
06:38Don't let her disturb Scarlet while she's giving birth.
06:42No problem Vito, don't worry.
06:44I'll keep a close eye on her.
06:46The combined agony of the drug and the impending birth was tearing my soul apart.
06:51When I heard Vito's voice, a flicker of hope ignited within me.
06:56He had to care about me.
06:58He had to care about our child.
07:00I screamed with all my might.
07:03Vito, the baby is coming, right now.
07:06Please, have Gianna take me to the hospital, now.
07:10I cried out, my voice a weak, uncontrollable tremble.
07:14Gianna hesitated.
07:15I heard her whisper into the phone.
07:18Vito, I'm starting to think this is true.
07:21The way she's screaming, I don't believe she's putting on an act.
07:25Maybe I should take her to the hospital.
07:28He is your only child, after all.
07:31If something happened...
07:32Vito paused for a few seconds, as if considering it.
07:38Then his tone softened.
07:40Fine then, you can take her.
07:44Just when I thought I was about to be saved, Scarlet's voice rang out.
07:53Just then, a delicate voice purred from his end.
07:57Vito, darling, I'm thirsty.
07:59Could you bring me some champagne?
08:01The doctor says I need to relax if I'm going to have the strength to deliver our little prince.
08:05Of course.
08:19Of course it didn't hurt for her.
08:22The family's entire medical team and resources had been diverted to her lavish, state-of-the-art private delivery room.
08:30She was being treated like a queen.
08:33Scarlet's few words were all it took to change everything.
08:36To change Vito's mind.
08:40His voice turned to ice.
08:43What could go wrong?
08:44It's an act.
08:46She's trying to trick you into letting her out.
08:48Don't believe it.
08:50Trusting her will only make you look like a fool.
08:57The call was cut off.
09:00At that moment, my heart fell into the depths of despair.
09:11Stung by Vito's rebuke, Gianna turned her fury on me.
09:15She reached into a leather case and pulled out a snake, advancing on me.
09:20You want to know what real pain is?
09:23Then let me teach you a lesson.
09:25Have a taste of my pet.
09:27Gianna held the black viper in front of my face.
09:30Its forked tongue flicked in the air as its cold scales brushed against my arm.
09:34Before I could scream the word, sharp, searing pain shot through my arm as the viper's fangs sank deep into
09:40my flesh.
09:41Venom burned through my veins like acid, each heartbeat pumping the poison deeper into my body.
09:47I forced myself to remain calm.
09:48One hand clamped protectively over my stomach, the other pressing desperately against the wound.
09:53But the venom was an anticoagulant.
09:56Blood gushed from the wound, thin and dark, refusing to clot.
10:00I curled into a ball, shivering, too afraid to even move.
10:05My snake is very well behavioral.
10:08It never bites.
10:09Gianna cooed, retrieving her snake.
10:12But as she drew it back, she felt its scales turn slick in her hand.
10:16Thought she glanced down and saw dark blood dripping from its fangs.
10:21My vision began to blur.
10:22It felt as if a thousand blades were shredding my wound from the inside.
10:27The snake bite on my arm was already a deathly shade of purple black and blood still oozed from the
10:32wound.
10:33I could feel my life draining away, bit by bit.
10:36Gianna didn't leave.
10:37Her expression twisted from satisfaction to a crazed fury.
10:42What did you do?
10:43Her boot slammed into my abdomen.
10:49The force of the blow nearly made me pass out again.
10:57My Medusa.
10:58She shrieked.
10:59You crazy woman.
11:00You made her bleed.
11:02She's worth more than you and that bastard child combined.
11:05The room was dim.
11:07She grabbed a handful of my hair, yanking my head up to inspect me.
11:12You hurt her.
11:13You disgusting slut.
11:16She cooed at the snake.
11:17My baby must have been terrified of you.
11:25Another kick.
11:26Each movement was a hammer blow against me and my unborn child.
11:30All I could do was curl my body around my stomach.
11:33Too weak to fight back.
11:35Why aren't you screaming now?
11:37Keep up the act.
11:39Please.
11:41Don't kick the baby.
11:43The baby.
11:45Gianna sneered.
11:47Stop using the child as a shield.
11:50It doesn't make you worthy of the Falco name.
11:54She stroked the viper with one hand while pulling a small spray bottle from her bag with the other.
12:00A white mist filled the room.
12:03My consciousness began to fade.
12:09Now you can lie there quietly and reflect on your place.
12:13She hissed.
12:14And don't get your hopes up.
12:16Only Scarlet's bloodline is worthy of inheriting the family's throne.
12:20Destined to rule our empire.
12:23Perhaps this will help you reflect on your place in this family Alessia.
12:27Her said.
12:27Her voice dripping with contempt.
12:29A little something to quiet your nerve.
12:31She left in a rage.
12:32But not before spraying more of the hallucinogenic gas around the room.
12:36The heavy mist sent my body into violent spasms.
12:39Layering a new kind of agony on top of the snake venom that was already coursing through my veins.
12:45Adrift in a haze of pain.
12:47I heard it.
12:48The faint sobs of my unborn child.
12:50A tiny voice echoed in my mind.
12:54Mommy.
12:56Mommy help me.
13:00It was my baby's voice.
13:02In the hallucination.
13:04I saw a small figure reaching out to me.
13:08Mommy.
13:09I'm so scared.
13:11It hurts so much.
13:13Baby.
13:15Mommy's here.
13:16I reached out a trembling hand.
13:19Trying to embrace him.
13:20But my arms closed on empty air every time.
13:24I was supposed to welcome my baby today to hold him tight in my arms.
13:28He was just a breath away.
13:30Why was fate so cruel to me and my child?
13:34My spirit finally broke.
13:36And tears streamed silently down my face.
13:40Despair.
13:41Sharp as a dagger.
13:42Pierced my heart.
13:43I gently stroked my belly.
13:47My sweet baby.
13:48Mommy failed you.
13:50If there is a next life, I hope you are born into a loving family where your parents cherish each
13:55other.
13:56My breathing grew faint.
13:58The blood thickening in my veins.
14:00Suddenly.
14:01The door clicked open.
14:02And a blinding light flooded the room.
14:10My God.
14:11Seeing me lying in a pool of blood, the family doctor recoiled in horror.
14:16My God.
14:20Who are you?
14:21What did you do to make the boss punish you like this?
14:24Even as a doctor, his first instinct wasn't to save me.
14:29I'm Vito's wife.
14:31With a great effort, I lifted my hand to show him my wedding band.
14:34The encraved initials were cacked with blood, but the letters for Vito and my were faintly visible.
14:39He recognized the ring and moved to help, then hesitated.
14:42He paused, then cautiously dialed Vito's number.
14:46Boss, I found Mrs. Alessia in the Dunderground surgical room.
14:52Her condition is critical.
14:53She's lost a lot of blood, and it looks like she's been poisoned.
14:57Vito's reply was laced with suspicion.
15:00Poisoned?
15:01That's impossible.
15:02She's not bleeding, doctor.
15:03That's my sister's snake's blood.
15:06Gianna already called me, furious that Alessia somehow hurt her precious pet.
15:10His tone turned cold and dismissive.
15:12She's perfectly healthy.
15:14Just another desperate ploy to deliver first.
15:16Don't mind her.
15:17I'll deal with this mess myself.
15:21The doctor tried to explain further, but Vito had already hung up.
15:25He glanced at me.
15:27He with a look of pity, then walked past me to move some equipment.
15:33Just as I thought he was going to abandon me, he turned back.
15:44The doctor's face went pale.
15:47You have to go to a regular hospital right away.
15:55He frantically dialed Vito's private number.
15:59Boss, this is an emergency.
16:00Mrs. Alessia has been severely poisoned.
16:02She needs immediate medical attention.
16:04She's going to die.
16:06Vito's voice was thick with annoying and fury.
16:09Alessia, you've outdone yourself with this performance.
16:12Not only did you get out, you even managed to bribe our family's best doctor.
16:17I...
16:19Let me be clear.
16:20Whatever game you're playing, I'm not falling for it.
16:22I know you too well.
16:23There's nothing wrong with you, so stop trying to trick me.
16:26I told you, he's my flesh and blood.
16:28I'm not going to abandon my own son.
16:30But you have to wait until Scarlet is done.
16:33Why can't you just wait?
16:34Do you think I'll still need you?
16:37I admit, I underestimated you.
16:39Now you behave yourself, or you know the consequences of defying me.
16:43The line went dead.
16:45The doctor stared at his phone, then back at me, barely clinging to life.
16:49He gritted his teeth and made a decision.
16:53It's a long shot, but I'm taking you to the private clinic.
16:56I never imagined he would take me to Scarlet's clinic.
16:59Through the glass doors, I could see it was brightly lit,
17:03with staff bustling about.
17:05The most advanced medical equipment was lined up in perfect order.
17:09The very things that were meant to save my life.
17:16The doctor pleaded with the staff, explaining the situation to the head nurse.
17:21She needs immediate treatment.
17:22But she just shook her head coldly.
17:23The boss's orders are clear.
17:25All clinic resources are reserved for Mrs. Scarlet.
17:28No one is to use them without authorization.
17:30But she's dying.
17:31That's not our problem.
17:32Because of Vito's command, I couldn't get so much as a single painkiller.
17:36Just then, a tall figure appeared in the doorway.
17:39It was Vito's second-in-command, Marco.
17:41He saw me, covered in blood, and his face went white with shock.
17:45Madam, boss needs to hear about this immediately.
17:49He rushed to Vito's side.
17:52Boss, there's a woman outside, covered in blood.
17:54She, if I'm not mistaken, she looks exactly like Mrs. Alexia.
17:57Vito's brow furrowed, and he pressed his temples hard.
18:05Impossible.
18:05He answered flatly.
18:08She's fine.
18:10Pregnant, yes, but fine.
18:12There's no way she could have gotten this far.
18:15Scarlet grabbed Vito's hand, a look of feigned anxiety on her face.
18:19Maybe she's just trying to get your attention.
18:23To steal you away from me.
18:25Vito gently comforted her, his touch soothing.
18:28How could I ever leave you?
18:30Marco tried again, his voice lower.
18:32Perhaps you should go see for yourself, boss.
18:35If it is her, your child could be in danger too.
18:39Vito's patience snapped.
18:40He glared at Marco.
18:43I said it's impossible.
18:44Are you deaf?
18:45If it were really Alessia, do you think she'd need you to report it?
18:49Wouldn't she have stormed in here herself?
18:51A woman that vain, so obsessed with her image, would never let anyone see her in that state.
18:57Use your head.
18:58Suddenly, Scarlet's contractions hit.
19:01Screaming in pain, she gripped Vito's hand tight.
19:04Vito, it's time.
19:05Get all the doctors here, now.
19:07Vito roars at Marco.
19:08Stop wasting time.
19:09Get the damn doctors over here, right now.
19:16Marco rushed back to the treatment room to summon all the doctors.
19:19As he passed by me, he could only shake his head in helpless resignation.
19:24I'm sorry.
19:25I can't help you.
19:27The doctor watched the medical staff leave with a helpless expression.
19:31His face was filled with guilt, but I knew he had done all he could.
19:35I wanted to tell him not to blame himself.
19:37That he'd done all he could, but I didn't have the strength left to speak.
19:41The blood loss.
19:42The snake venom.
19:43The labor suppressant.
19:45Each one was hastening death's approach.
19:47I could hear the hushed chatter of the medical staff, their voices fading into the distance.
19:52Mrs. Scarlet's baby is about to be born.
19:55We have to stay with her.
19:56But this woman's condition is critical.
19:58She'll die if we don't help her.
19:59The poison has spread to her organs, and the fetal heartbeat is weakening.
20:02Get the emergency kit, now!
20:03I could only watch as every doctor left, rushing away to help Scarlet deliver her baby.
20:08My precious boy, mommy failed you.
20:10I couldn't protect you.
20:10I placed a trembling hand over my stomach and felt a sudden, searing pain tear through
20:16my abdomen.
20:16The belly that had once been round and full with life was beginning to soften and flatten.
20:22A large pool of blood spread beneath me.
20:24The doctor lowered his head and silently shook it.
20:27Then he pulled a white sheet over my motionless body on the stretcher.
20:32No.
20:34I can't die.
20:35With the last of my strength, I pressed a hidden button concealed inside my necklace.
20:39My father's lifeline to me.
20:42Once pressed, no matter where I was, the Romano family would find me within an hour.
20:47A private helicopter descended over the clinic.
20:50The doors of the morgue swung open.
20:51I forced my eyes open.
20:53Through my blurred vision I saw numerous figures in black.
20:56The leader's cane symbol of his power struck the floor.
21:00On his black suit was pinned the black eagle insignia, the emblem of absolute authority.
21:07The brim of his hat shaded his stern face.
21:09Then his voice reached my ears, clear and unmistakable.
21:18Alexia.
21:21My daughter.
21:22The moment I heard my father's voice, I finally broke down.
21:25Father.
21:25I whispered hoarsely.
21:27I should have listened to you.
21:28Please, save me.
21:30Medical team, move!
21:31Start recitation immediately!
21:33A dozen top doctors rushed forward.
21:36Various instruments were quickly deployed.
21:38Your Excellency, the princess is in critical condition.
21:42The chief physician's face turned pale.
21:45Seeing the thunderous expression on my father's face, he spoke fearfully.
21:49She has lost severe amounts of blood.
21:51There are drug residues and toxins spreading through her body.
21:54She must be taken to the airborne operating room immediately.
21:57My father touched my cheek, anguish in his eyes, and spoke with rage in his voice.
22:04Vito Falcone, how dare you do this to my daughter?
22:09My father left behind a specially prepared body in the morgue, a corpse with a face identical
22:15to mine, to replace me.
22:17Then he had me loaded onto the helicopter.
22:20Vito paced anxiously outside the delivery room.
22:24He had waited by Scarlet's side all night.
22:26When the door opened, he rushed to her bedside.
22:29It's a healthy boy.
22:31He kissed Scarlet on the forehead.
22:33The future heir of the family had finally been born.
22:37Then he paused.
22:38A stray thought crossed his mind.
22:41Who would Alessia's child take after?
22:42If it was a girl, she would probably look like her mother, especially with those amber
22:45eyes.
22:46And he had finally remembered.
22:48Marco, go get Alessia.
22:49It's over.
22:49Time for her to see the baby.
22:51Scarlet is safe.
22:52Tell her she can deliver now.
22:53Marco stood frozen, not moving an inch.
22:56His body trembled with a terror Vito couldn't comprehend.
22:59After a long moment, he finally forced the words out.
23:03His voice a raw whisper.
23:05Boss, Mrs. Alexia and the baby, they're, they're gone.
23:13What did you say?
23:14Vito's roar shook the clinic to its foundations.
23:17I, I'm telling you, Madam Alexia and the child, they're, they're gone.
23:20While you were keeping Scarlet company.
23:22He grabbed Marco by the collar, his eyes burning with a wild rage.
23:25Are you lying to me?
23:27Are you in on this act with her?
23:29Boss, I saw it with my own eyes.
23:31Bullshit.
23:31She was fine when I left her.
23:32A woman that cunning doesn't just die.
23:34Vito threw a punch at Marco's face.
23:37Stumbling back himself before regaining his footing.
23:40Marco trembled under the weight of his murderous fury.
23:43His voice shaking.
23:45Boss, Mrs. Alessia's body is in the morgue.
23:47We confirmed her identity.
23:48It's her.
23:49It's really Mrs. Alessia.
23:50A primal fear clawed its way up his throat.
23:53The gut-wrenching despair of losing a part of himself.
23:56He bolted out of the room.
23:58Scarlet's voice called after him.
24:00Vito, where are you going?
24:01The baby was just born.
24:03You can't leave.
24:05But Vito heard nothing.
24:10Vito's mind had only one thought.
24:12Alexia's acting.
24:14She has to be acting.
24:15The men in the hallway saw the look on his face and scrambled out of his way.
24:19He kicked open the door of the morgue, his breath catching in his throat.
24:22Alexia, if this is another one of your tricks...
24:24He roared, his voice cracking.
24:26I swear I'll kill you with my own hands!
24:28But when he saw the body, his heart shattered.
24:31Alessia lay in a pool of blood.
24:34Her face as white as paper.
24:35Her stomach was flat.
24:37All traces of pregnancy gone.
24:39The snake bite on her arm was a sickening black.
24:42Vito's knees gave out, and he collapsed to the floor.
24:46The cold-blooded mafioso, a man who had walked through hails of bullets without flinching,
24:51broke completely.
24:52He crawled to her side, his trembling hands brushing the matted, bloody hair from her still
24:57face.
25:00Alessia, wake up.
25:02This isn't a funny joke.
25:04Wake the hell up, goddammit!
25:06He shook her body frantically.
25:14You've taken this too far, this whole act.
25:17Fine.
25:18You win.
25:20You wanted me to care, and I care.
25:23But Alessia would never answer.
25:25Her body was lifeless, still.
25:31I was wrong.
25:33I was so wrong.
25:35Please wake up.
25:36I'll give you anything.
25:40The West Coast business, it's all yours.
25:44The family inheritance, it's all yours.
25:47Just wake up.
25:49Vito finally broke, his sobs turning into ragged prayers.
25:55Please, I'm begging you.
25:58Just open your eyes.
26:01Marco and the other men stood back, terrified, having never seen their boss so broken and
26:07devastated.
26:08Boss, let her go.
26:10The missus, she's gone.
26:14Vito looked up, his eyes blazing with a blood-red fury.
26:19Anyone who says another word, I'll kill them!
26:21An old retainer watched from the side, unable to bear it.
26:26Boss, we need to handle the arrangements.
26:31A normal birth is a brush with death as it is.
26:35But to be bitten by a viper during labor, mother of God, the hell she must have gone through.
26:43The words pierced Vito's heart like daggers.
26:46For the first time, he began to grasp the agony Alessia had endured.
26:52I thought she was pretending.
26:55He numbly lifted Alessia's body, cradling her as if she were the most priceless treasure in the world.
27:05I'm taking her home.
27:07Vito rasped.
27:09She should be at home with the child.
27:13Marco tried to intervene.
27:15Boss, you need to calm down.
27:16I said don't touch her!
27:19Vito carefully picked up Alessia.
27:22Her blood soaked through his expensive suit.
27:25His hands trembled, terrified of hurting her.
27:38A professional medical team secured me to a stretcher and carried me into the helicopter,
27:44which was a fully equipped flying operating room.
27:48They began emergency treatment immediately.
27:51I stared into the blinding glare of the surgical lights above.
27:56Even with the anesthetic, my toxin-ravaged body could feel every sharp, tearing pain.
28:02After what felt like an eternity, the doctor's movements suddenly stopped.
28:09We are so sorry, Miss Romano.
28:12The poisoning was too severe.
28:15The child didn't make it.
28:21Back in Sicily.
28:25I locked myself in my room.
28:28I didn't eat or drink.
28:29Lost track of day and night.
28:32Consumed by endless regret for the choices I had made.
28:36Even in my days.
28:38I could hear my unborn child calling out to me.
28:42Begging me to save him.
28:43Mommy.
28:45Save me.
28:48I tugged at my hair in anguish.
28:54I'm sorry.
28:57Mommy couldn't save you.
28:59The snake venom was agonizing for a grown man.
29:06What chance did my child, still in my womb, ever have?
29:18He was so small.
29:23How could he have possibly survived?
29:27I hated myself.
29:29Hated my poor judgment.
29:31Hated that I was a complete and utter failure as a mother.
29:35I had thrown away my own dignity and my family's.
29:39And in the end, I lost my own flesh and blood.
29:44Powerless, I couldn't protect anything.
29:50I also remembered back to years ago, when I had just come of age and was tired of my father's
29:56protection.
29:59I ignored his warnings and fled the family fortress.
30:06I sat by the window, watching the seagulls flying freely in the distance.
30:11Dozens of bodyguards stood on either side of me.
30:19Father, I am a human being, not a prisoner.
30:26You are the only heir of the Romano family.
30:30There are countless people out there who want to use you.
30:37One day you will understand.
30:39I am protecting you.
30:42Back then, I was tired of my father's words.
30:46Gamblers roared wildly.
30:48In the ring, Vito was fighting full of wild, masculine charm.
30:54I was captivated by his sexiness.
30:57From that day on, I followed him like a shadow,
31:01abandoning all my dignity.
31:04In the end, we got married.
31:06At first, whether sincere or not,
31:09Vito indulged me, and took care of me.
31:13Until I became pregnant.
31:18Then he stopped pretending.
31:21At a council meeting,
31:22he openly announced that he would leave his fortune to Scarlet's child.
31:29From that moment on,
31:31the love I had cherished since childhood,
31:34the marriage I thought would be beautiful,
31:38turned into a grave.
31:47I cried until my eyes were red and swollen,
31:50until no more tears would come.
31:56Suddenly, the door to my room opened.
31:59A thin line of light cut through the darkness.
32:02I lifted my swelling eyes.
32:04It was my beloved father.
32:10Alicia, my princess.
32:12Hearing his deep, powerful voice,
32:14I felt a sense of peace settle over me,
32:17like a calming balm,
32:18and I grew quiet and warm.
32:20Remember,
32:21none of this was your fault.
32:23Not even the child.
32:25You did everything a mother could.
32:31But I couldn't protect him.
32:33You held him,
32:34Alessia.
32:34Even if it was only for a moment.
32:36In that moment,
32:38you were his mother.
32:39Don't worry,
32:40there will be other children.
32:41The Romano bloodline will not end here.
32:43He sighed deeply,
32:44his face etched with harshbake for me.
32:47But if you waste your tears on that bastard,
32:49you dishonor yourself.
32:51I told you not to marry him.
32:53But you were determined to go your own way.
32:55You were even willing to break with me to be with him.
32:57I peeked out from under the covers,
32:59seeing my father's weary face,
33:01the deep lines carved by the ears.
33:04I couldn't help but cry again.
33:06I was wrong, Papa.
33:07I sobbed.
33:08I was so foolish.
33:11Please forgive me.
33:13I'm not crying for him.
33:14I'm crying for my baby who died.
33:17I'm crying for my baby who died.
33:20My father gently wiped away my tears,
33:22the authority of the Iron Fist Don
33:24melting away in the presence of his daughter.
33:27My heart,
33:28you are my only treasure,
33:30my most precious jewel.
33:32Of course I forgive you.
33:34Papa, I want them to pay.
33:35All of them.
33:36Don Romano sat on the edge of the bed,
33:38his voice low and filled with deadly intent.
33:40Rest assured, Alessia,
33:42Vito Falcone is a dead man.
33:43I will make the entire underworld
33:45remember what happens when you cross a Romano.
33:51I stood on the cliff's edge,
33:53overlooking the sea.
33:54A small white box in my hands.
33:59Inside were the baby clothes I had prepared for him.
34:04A simple memorial.
34:06I buried him at the highest point of the family cemetery.
34:09From there you could overgoat the entire Mediterranean,
34:12a tranquil world embraced by the azure sea,
34:14a sanctuary symbolizing freedom.
34:15Rest in peace, my sweet baby.
34:18Mommy will get justice for you.
34:21Father sat behind the mahogany desk.
34:23On the walls hung portraits of the Romano godfathers
34:26from generations past.
34:27I stood before him,
34:29already changed into a sharp, dark suit.
34:31Your tears are done.
34:32From now on,
34:33you must learn to be a true Romano.
34:35Yes, Father.
34:36Father nodded with satisfaction.
34:38This is who you were always meant to be.
34:40Father rose from his chair
34:41and walked over to a large world map,
34:43its territories marked with colored pushpins.
34:45Our empire controls the financial life family in North America.
34:48Its reach stretches across the ocean
34:49to the old world powers of Europe.
34:51And I have only you as my heir.
34:54The entire Romano kingdom,
34:57all the territories and all the businesses,
34:59will one day be yours.
35:02But only if you prove worthy of it.
35:10I studied the map carefully,
35:13my gaze firm.
35:16Tell me what to do.
35:26I began to study every detail of the family business.
35:29The financial empires,
35:31the trade networks,
35:32the political connections.
35:34My father's advisors taught me
35:35how to manipulate the stock market,
35:37how to make an enemy self-destruct
35:39without ever knowing who was pulling the strings.
35:41True power isn't violence.
35:44It is the art of making your enemy
35:46beg you for the mercy of death.
35:49I understand, father.
35:50I swear.
35:52Everyone who has hurt me
35:53will be crushed beneath my feet.
35:55When the advisor came in
35:56to report on Vito's bounty,
35:58I hadn't expected Vito
35:59to discover the truth
36:00about the fake body so quickly.
36:02After learning of my death,
36:03he didn't follow the usual customs for burial.
36:06Instead,
36:06he had the body dressed and preserved,
36:08keeping it by his side at all times.
36:10He ate with it.
36:10He slept with it.
36:11When a month passed
36:12and the body showed no signs of decay,
36:14he knew something was wrong.
36:15In the center of the gloomy dining room
36:16lay a corpse dressed in luxurious-sized clothes.
36:18The decoy for Alessia.
36:20Vito,
36:21unshaven with dark circles under his eyes,
36:23sat in a chair beside the corpse.
36:25He picked up his wine glass
36:26and raised it towards the corpse.
36:28How was your day, Alessia?
36:29I ate the fish for you.
36:30You don't like fish, do you?
36:32Urgent foots sounded outside the door.
36:34Marco burst in,
36:35waving a DNA test report in his hand.
36:37The DNA test, that corpse.
36:39It's not Alessia.
36:40It's a fake.
36:40She's not dead at all.
36:41He breathed a sigh of relief.
36:43I knew my Alessia was still alive.
36:44Put the word out.
36:46Ten million dollars cash
36:47to anyone who can give me Alessia's exact location.
36:55I think he's completely lost his mind.
36:58It didn't matter.
37:00My father's private island
37:01was deep in the Mediterranean,
37:03protected by military-grade security.
37:05He would never find you.
37:08I wasted no time on him
37:10and continued to focus on learning
37:12how to rule my family's empire.
37:15For a month,
37:16I had thrown myself into the Romano family business,
37:19personally handling major deals
37:21and arbitrating disputes between allied factions.
37:24Principessa,
37:25the quarterly reports from the Milan division are ready.
37:28My assistant, Lucia,
37:29placed a stack of files in front of me.
37:31Is there still a board meeting this afternoon?
37:33Yes, at three o'clock.
37:34The final decision on the acquisition of the German jewelry company.
37:38Just as I was reviewing the documents,
37:40the door to the conference room was violently kicked open.
37:42A familiar figure stormed in.
37:43Vito,
37:43his suit was rumpled,
37:44his hair a mess,
37:45and his eyes burned with a manic fire.
37:46Several of my bodyguards were right behind him.
37:48Everyone get out!
37:49Clearly having failed to stop his forced entry.
37:52He roared.
37:52My people looked at me in terror.
37:54I gave a slight flick of my fingers,
37:56signaling them to leave.
37:57When the room was empty,
37:59Vito's gaze fell on me.
38:01His eyes turned bloodshot
38:03as he lunged forward and grabbed my wrist.
38:06I finally found you.
38:14I didn't rise,
38:16remaining seated at the table,
38:18calmly reviewing my files.
38:19What do you think you're doing, Vito?
38:22I'm taking my wife home.
38:24He snarled,
38:25his grip like iron on my arm.
38:28This little drama of yours is over.
38:30I shook his hand off and stood up.
38:31A month of training had made me calmer,
38:33colder than before.
38:34What drama?
38:35Faking your death,
38:37disappearing,
38:37making me think you were really gone?
38:40Vito's voice trembled.
38:41Do you have any idea what I've been through this past month?
38:43Then his expression shifted,
38:45his sharp instincts kicking in
38:47as he scanned the opulent office.
38:49How did you get in here?
38:50You must know that ordinary people
38:52can't get anywhere near this building.
38:53I almost got myself killed by the security outside
38:55just to get in.
38:56He suddenly looked exhausted.
38:58He waved a dismissive hand.
38:59I don't care what scheme you pulled to get in here.
39:02You're coming home with me.
39:03Now.
39:07His eyes dropped to my flat stomach.
39:10Where's my son?
39:11He should be a month old by now,
39:13right, Alessia?
39:14You goddamn fool for running away.
39:16You made me miss the birth of our first son.
39:20Okay, I was wrong.
39:21I was completely wrong.
39:22Bring my son out.
39:23We're going back to the family headquarters immediately.
39:25He turned,
39:26ready to drag me away by force.
39:28His tyrannical need for control
39:30on full display.
39:35Our son.
39:37My laugh was a cold, sharp shard of ice.
39:41What son are you talking about?
39:44Seeing me stand my ground,
39:46Vito turned back,
39:47his face a mask of confusion.
39:50Why aren't you coming?
39:51Stop acting like a child.
39:52I've already made a new decision.
39:54Our son will be my designated heir,
39:56and you will have a permanent place
39:57in the family's inner circle.
39:58I already said I was wrong.
39:59What more do you want from me?
40:01Seeing him act so entitled,
40:02I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
40:04But my laughter was laced with tears.
40:09You still don't get it,
40:11do you, Vito?
40:12I met his graze.
40:13You delusional bastard.
40:15We don't have a child.
40:20What?
40:22I said,
40:23we don't have a child.
40:25He's dead, Vito.
40:27You killed him.
40:29The color drained from Vito's face.
40:31Your labor suppressor.
40:33Your sister's viper.
40:35Your cold-hearted cruelty.
40:40I said,
40:41each word a deliberate blow.
40:44You killed him with your own hands.
40:47There's nothing left between us.
40:49Nothing.
40:53Vito shook his head,
40:55refusing to believe it.
40:57No, you're lying!
40:58You're just trying to punish me!
41:07He shot up from his chair and grabbed my shoulders again.
41:13Alessia, stop messing around.
41:16I'll give you anything you want.
41:20From now on,
41:21I'll even give you the affection you've always craved.
41:28You are my wife.
41:32Now tell me where you've hidden my son,
41:35and we're going back to New York.
41:37Now!
41:39Can't you hear me?
41:41Our child is dead!
41:44And we are over.
41:48Faking my death
41:49was the only way I could escape you.
41:52I never want to see you again.
41:55I forced myself to calm down,
41:58taking a deep,
41:59steadyening breath.
42:00Let go of me, Vito.
42:02This is your final warning.
42:04With that,
42:05I grabbed a folder from the desk
42:07and turned to leave.
42:10Vito was stunned by the profound change in my demeanor.
42:16As I neared the door,
42:18he lunged like a madman,
42:20blocking my path again.
42:22You're my wife!
42:23You belong to me.
42:28Without me,
42:30you're nothing.
42:33You have nothing.
42:35How were you planning to raise our son?
42:37You can't even afford a bottle of milk.
42:40How long did you think you could last?
42:44It was so absurd.
42:45He thought so highly of himself,
42:47a supposedly powerful mafia boss.
42:52But he had no idea
42:54that the only reason
42:55the Falcone family survived
42:57the last economic storm
42:58was because my father
43:00had secretly provided them
43:02with financial support
43:03to protect my happiness.
43:05You'll know who I am soon.
43:15You arrogant,
43:17worthless fool.
43:19My voice
43:20was pure contempt.
43:21It was the first time
43:22I had ever shown him
43:23such open disdain.
43:26And his authority
43:27was fatally challenged.
43:32Alexia,
43:33I will never
43:34let you disappear
43:36from my life again.
43:37My only goal today
43:39is to bring my woman home.
43:43You don't understand.
43:45When I thought you were dead,
43:47I almost lost my mind.
43:50Rage at me all you want.
43:52I,
43:53Vito Falcone,
43:55will not be defeated.
43:58He swept me off my feet
43:59and threw me over his shoulder,
44:01slapping my ass hard,
44:03striding toward the exit.
44:05He was still playing
44:06the part of the devoted husband,
44:08lost in his own
44:09self-serving performance.
44:11Who the hell
44:12do you think you are?
44:13What gives you
44:14the right to hold me?
44:18He let out
44:18a foolish chuckle.
44:21I'm about to become
44:22the Don of the Falcone family.
44:25Don't question my position.
44:28Once I get you back,
44:30you'll eventually give in
44:32and hand him over.
44:34The commotion drew a crowd.
44:36Sir, sir,
44:37please stop.
44:39The executives
44:40waiting outside
44:41stood up,
44:42their faces etched
44:43with fear.
44:45You can't take her.
44:47You have no idea
44:48what you're doing.
44:50Lucia rushed
44:51in front of Vito,
44:53trying to block his path.
44:55This is the
44:55Principessa
44:56of the Romano family.
45:03Get out of my way.
45:05Vito kicked her aside.
45:11All of you,
45:12get lost!
45:14I won't be fooled
45:15by anyone's lies.
45:16These are all things
45:17Alessia told you to say.
45:20Vito,
45:21you idiot!
45:22I roared from his shoulder.
45:24Put me down!
45:26You have no idea
45:28who you're messing with!
45:31Employees from the entire floor
45:32poured out,
45:33their eyes wide with terror.
45:50Vito let out a mocking laugh,
45:52as if he'd just heard
45:53the most ridiculous joke
45:54in the world.
45:55What air?
45:56Are you all insane?
45:58She's
45:59my wife.
46:00She belongs with me.
46:04I bit and scrapped at him,
46:06but he seemed
46:07to feel no pain.
46:09Everyone knew
46:10who I was.
46:10Everyone knew
46:11what the name Romano meant,
46:13but Vito
46:14completely ignored
46:15their warnings.
46:16In his eyes,
46:17it was all
46:18an elaborate hoax
46:19I had orchestrated.
46:21Vito,
46:21they're telling
46:22the absolute truth.
46:23My father is the don
46:24of the Romano family,
46:26the absolute ruler
46:27of this business empire.
46:29If he finds out
46:30you dared to touch me,
46:32your life is over.
46:42Vito's laughter
46:43grew more manic
46:43as he tried to soothe me
46:45with a gentle tone.
46:46Alessia,
46:47what nonsense
46:48are you talking about?
46:49I know all about
46:50your background.
46:54once we get back
46:55to the family
46:56and bring our baby boy
46:57home,
46:58we can have
46:59the perfect family life.
47:06I'll give you
47:06all my affection.
47:08I swear
47:09I'll never let my wife
47:10get hurt again.
47:13I stopped struggling.
47:16I had no other choice.
47:21I gripped my assistant's
47:22arm tightly.
47:25Notify my father
47:26immediately.
47:30Vito carried me
47:31all the way
47:32to the lobby,
47:33whispering sweet nothings
47:34in my ear
47:35the entire time.
47:38After you left,
47:39that's when I realized
47:40how much I love you.
47:42Don't leave me
47:43again,
47:44alright?
47:47Let's have another kid.
47:48This time I'll stay
47:49by your side
47:50the whole time.
47:53Forgive me.
47:55Give me a chance
47:56to be your husband again.
47:58I felt sick
47:59to my stomach.
48:01I closed my eyes,
48:03refusing to engage
48:04with him.
48:04He carried me
48:05into an elevator.
48:08It descended slowly.
48:12You idiot.
48:14How dare you
48:16kidnap Don Romamo's
48:17daughter on his own turf.
48:18Huh.
48:19You.
48:20You gotta be kidding me.
48:26With a ding,
48:27the elevator doors opened.
48:29Vito carried me
48:30toward the grand lobby.
48:40Just then,
48:41the doors of another
48:42elevator opened.
48:44It was the private elevator
48:46to the top floor.
48:48A tall,
48:49imposing figure
48:50stepped out.
48:54Father.
48:56Don Romano
48:58was dressed
48:58in a black suit,
48:59his silver hair
49:00impeccably styled.
49:01He was flanked
49:03by six bodyguards,
49:04each a combat-hardened
49:06veteran.
49:06When my father
49:07saw Vito carrying me,
49:09the temperature
49:10in the lobby
49:10dropped by 20 degrees.
49:15Put.
49:16My.
49:18Daughter.
49:19Down.
49:23My father's voice
49:24was low,
49:25a rumble
49:25of distant thunder
49:26promising a storm.
49:31Vito finally stopped.
49:33He turned slowly
49:34to face the stranger.
49:37Who are you?
49:38I am Salvatore Romano,
49:40my father said,
49:41stepping toward us.
49:43And you are kidnapping
49:44my only daughter.
49:46The color began
49:46to drain from Vito's face.
49:48Even a man like him
49:50had heard the name Romano,
49:52but he still refused
49:53to believe it.
49:55Impossible.
49:57This is just another
49:58one of Alessia's.
50:00Before he could finish
50:01his sentence,
50:02my father's men
50:03swarmed him.
50:04Two seconds
50:05was all it took
50:06to wrestle him
50:07to the marble floor.
50:08I was finally back
50:09on my own two feet.
50:12My father's fist
50:13connected with Vito's jaw.
50:15The sound
50:15was a sickening crack.
50:17A tooth
50:17arced through the air
50:18and blood spattered
50:19the white marble.
50:20You dare touch
50:21my daughter.
50:22My father's eyes
50:23burned with a murderous light.
50:25Vito Falcone,
50:26I haven't even settled
50:27the score for my grandson
50:28and you have the audacity
50:29to deliver yourself
50:30to my door.
50:31My father's rage
50:32had reached its peak.
50:33He pulled out his phone
50:35and dialed a number.
50:36Cut off all support
50:37to the Falcone family.
50:38Immediately.
50:40Financial credit,
50:41shipping lines,
50:42political protection,
50:43all of it,
50:43severed.
50:44Do it now.
50:46Vito,
50:47still dazed on the floor
50:48from the punch,
50:49finally processed the words.
50:51He realized
50:52who he was facing.
50:53You,
50:53you're really Alessia's father.
50:55Vito's voice
50:56was broken with fear
50:57as he knelt
50:58on the marble floor,
51:00blood dripping.
51:03I meant no offense,
51:05I swear on my life.
51:06Alessia is my wife.
51:08I only wanted
51:08to take her home.
51:09Please,
51:10forgive me Don Romano.
51:11I didn't know
51:12Alessia was your daughter.
51:13Vito was a pathetic dog,
51:15groveling at my feet.
51:16I'm begging you,
51:18please,
51:18spare me.
51:20Everything I did,
51:21I did because I love her.
51:23I swear I never meant
51:24to hurt her.
51:24My father looked down
51:26on him,
51:26the murderous glint
51:27in his eyes
51:28as sharp as a blade.
51:29Love her.
51:31My father sneered.
51:33You call that love?
51:35You locked her up,
51:36you let her be poisoned,
51:37you killed my grandson,
51:39is that what you call love?
51:40Vito shook his head
51:41frantically.
51:42No,
51:42that wasn't my intention,
51:44I just wanted to...
51:47I walked up to Vito
51:48and kicked him
51:49squarely in the chest.
51:50He fell back
51:51with a grunt of pain.
51:54Enough.
51:55I said,
51:56my voice as cold as ice.
51:58I don't want to hear
51:59a single word of your excuses.
52:01I looked down at my wedding ring,
52:02the platinum band
52:03that had once symbolized
52:04our love,
52:05engraved with our initials.
52:07Now it only made me feel sick.
52:09I ripped the ring
52:10from my finger
52:10and threw it on the floor.
52:12The sharp clatter of metal
52:13echoed in the vast hall.
52:15Crush it.
52:16One of my father's bodyguards
52:18stepped forward
52:18and raised his heavy boot.
52:20No!
52:21Vito reached out
52:22a desperate hand.
52:24Alessia,
52:24that's our...
52:25The ring shattered,
52:27ground to glittering dust
52:28under the man's heavy boot.
52:33Vito stared,
52:34his eyes wide
52:35with disbelief.
52:36Alessia,
52:37what are you doing?
52:38That was a symbol
52:39of our love.
52:40Love,
52:40I smired.
52:41There was never
52:42any love between us.
52:43Only your possessiveness
52:45and your need to control.
52:46It's far too late
52:47for anything else.
52:48I stepped over
52:49the fragments of the ring,
52:50each step like crushing
52:51the person I used to be.
52:53The naive girl,
52:54blinded by love,
52:55was well and truly dead.
52:57My father looked at me
52:59and nodded,
53:00satisfied.
53:01Good.
53:01Now you are truly a Romano.
53:03He turned to his men.
53:05Drag this garbage
53:06out of my sight
53:06and make sure
53:07I never see him again.
53:08The bodyguards
53:09moved forward
53:10to haul Vito away.
53:11Wait!
53:12I called out,
53:13stopping them.
53:13A final flicker
53:14of hope
53:15ignited in Vito's eyes.
53:17Alessia,
53:17I knew you couldn't
53:19be so cruel
53:19to your own husband.
53:23I stared at him
53:24with dead eyes
53:25for a long moment
53:26then pulled a photograph
53:27from my purse.
53:29It was a picture
53:30of a small gravestone.
53:32Lorenzo Romano,
53:34our angel baby,
53:36rest in eternal peace.
53:37Do you see this?
53:38I held the photo
53:40in front of Vito's face.
53:41This is the child
53:42child you killed.
53:44He should have been alive.
53:46He should have grown up
53:47in my arms.
53:48He should have called me
53:49mommy,
53:49but you killed him.
53:51Vito stared at the photograph,
53:52tears welling in his eyes.
53:54My son.
53:55He is not your son.
53:56I said coldly.
53:58His name is Romano.
53:59Noble blood
54:00runs through his veins.
54:02And you,
54:03Vito Falcone,
54:04you are nothing.
54:06Vito's spirit
54:07completely shattered.
54:08Tears and snot
54:09streamed down his face.
54:11He begged me,
54:12his voice a broken,
54:13ragged mess.
54:14Alessia,
54:14I can survive
54:15the ruin of my family,
54:16but I can't survive
54:17losing my wife.
54:18The days without you,
54:19it's like my heart
54:20has been ripped
54:21out of my chest.
54:22I'm on my knees
54:23begging you,
54:24come back to me.
54:25I've truly learned
54:26my lesson.
54:26I'll spend the rest
54:27of my life
54:28making it up to you.
54:29A bankrupt failure.
54:30A stray dog
54:31with no family
54:32to call his own.
54:33What could you possibly
54:34offer the Prince Abessa
54:35of the Romano family?
54:36You have nothing.
54:37You are nothing.
54:38Vito froze
54:39and I knew the words
54:40had hit their mark.
54:41I turned and walked away
54:42without a backward glance.
54:46Three months later,
54:48I stood before
54:49my baby's grave.
54:51A newspaper in my hand.
54:54The headline read,
54:56Falcone,
54:56Don Vero Falcone
54:58killed in street shootout.
55:02Gunshots and screams
55:03echoed through the street.
55:05Several figures
55:06chased each other
55:06through the smoke.
55:07Scarlet shoved
55:08Vito's hand away,
55:09grabbed the bag of money,
55:10and ran.
55:11The Falcone family
55:12is finished.
55:13You expect me
55:15and my kid
55:15to suffer with you?
55:16Wounded,
55:17Vito watched Scarlet's back
55:19as she abandoned him
55:20and fled.
55:21He raised his gun
55:22and shot her.
55:28Then,
55:29when his enemies
55:30finally cornered him,
55:31he chose to stop fighting.
55:33They say that
55:33with his last breath,
55:35he kept repeating
55:36the same words.
55:37Sorry,
55:38my son.
55:42Vito closed his eyes forever.
55:49The man who hurt us
55:51is gone forever,
55:52my sweet boy.
55:53I whispered.
55:54Vito had gone mad
55:56after his family's collapse.
55:59Little golden retriever puppy,
56:01one I'd adopted a few days ago,
56:03ran up to my side.
56:05I had named him Angelo,
56:07which means little angel.
56:08I hoped my baby's soul
56:10might find its way back to me,
56:12that I might be granted
56:13this child one more time.
56:15Let's go, Angelo.
56:16I said,
56:17scooping up the puppy.
56:18Let's go home.
56:19The Mediterranean sun
56:21began to set,
56:22casting a warm,
56:24golden light over us.
56:26It was beautiful,
56:27and it was the beginning.
56:29will become
56:29a friend from the Hoffman.
