08:58I once thought I would grow old with him.
09:05And nothing could separate us.
09:07In the end, it was all a joke.
09:09Alessio loved excitement, and he loved young bodies even more.
09:13He had already forgotten the vows we made on our wedding day.
09:16From the dock to the yacht, the path was covered in fresh rose petals.
09:20I had always hated roses, and Alessio always knew that.
09:24Vanessa liked them.
09:25So these rose petals were for her.
09:27Nothing here was for me.
09:29How ironic.
09:30He said this birthday party was only for me, but it was another lie.
09:34Bianca.
09:35We held our wedding here, too.
09:38The whole world watched it, and everyone knew how much I loved you.
09:41As he spoke about the past, his emotions seemed to stir.
09:45He lifted my hand and guided me to touch that tear.
09:48I cried for you, babe.
09:49I love you.
09:51How much love did it take for a man to cry like that?
09:54This was Alessio Valenti, a Don who could order a man's death without blinking.
09:58Yet he was falling apart for me.
10:00If he had not cheated on me and betrayed me, I might have been moved enough to cry with him.
10:05He had loved me once, but everything had changed.
10:08Now his love had been given to Vanessa.
10:11I pulled my hand back.
10:12When Alessio saw no reaction from me, he felt hurt.
10:15Soon his eyes lit up, and he looked toward the deck.
10:18Vanessa walked out in the custom red gown Alessio had ordered for her.
10:22Clothes could truly change a person.
10:24In that dress, Vanessa looked expensive and elegant.
10:28Compared to me, she had already become the center of attention.
10:31Vianna, happy birthday.
10:33After saying that, she walked to Alessio's side and took his hand in front of everyone.
10:37Mr. Valenti, everything you asked for is ready.
10:40I'll count down from three.
10:44Three, two, one.
10:47Countless fireworks burst across the night sky.
10:50Every guest looked up at the sky.
10:52Alessio and Vanessa's hands were tightly linked.
10:54No matter how anyone looked at them, they looked more like a couple.
10:58I stared at the fireworks, and the sight stung my eyes.
11:01When the fireworks bloomed, they spelled a name.
11:04Vanessa.
11:05Not Bianca.
11:06It was obvious who this party and fireworks had really been meant for.
11:10Every capo, don, and guest on this yacht saw Vanessa's name.
11:14Alessio just told everyone that Vanessa was the real Donna of the Valenti family.
11:19I was a joke, a blind idiot.
11:21I stared at the sky.
11:23Our love has vanished like those fireworks.
11:25I could hear everyone whispering and teasing.
11:28Vanessa raised her chin as if she had won everything.
11:31Suddenly, Alessio's phone rang.
11:35Sorry, I have something urgent to handle.
11:37Babe, wait for me to come back.
11:39Love you.
11:39He commanded his men to watch me and kissed my forehead.
11:42He hurried away with Vanessa.
11:44Their hands were clasped tightly together.
11:46Before they left, she even gave me a defiant smile.
11:49Every capo on that yacht watched as he dumped his wife on her birthday,
11:53and left with the woman whose name was burning across the sky.
11:56I watched them leave, then followed them quietly.
11:59At last, I stopped outside the yacht cabin.
12:02I saw Vanessa sitting on Alessio's lap, kissing him wildly.
12:06Fortunately, Bianca can't see.
12:08You actually put your name in the fireworks.
12:10Don't do that again.
12:11Why are you scared?
12:12She can't see it anyway.
12:13Their breathing grew heavier, and soon they lost control again.
12:17My hand trembled as I took out my phone and pressed record.
12:21However long they stayed inside, I stood there and listened.
12:24In the end, Vanessa grew tired and fell asleep against Alessio.
12:27But Alessio still did not stop.
12:30I could not listen anymore.
12:31So I turned and left in a mess.
12:33I fled all the way home and didn't dare stop once.
12:36By the time I got home, something inside me had finally died.
12:39I took off my wedding ring and threw it into the trash.
12:42I went back to the bedroom and gathered everything that belonged to me and Alessio.
12:46The wedding photo.
12:47The love letters.
12:48The dress and necklace he gave me.
12:50Then I opened the bottom drawer.
12:51I took out the Bolandi family ring I had hidden away for years.
12:55I carried everything into the garden.
12:57Dug a deep pit.
12:58I threw it all in and set it on fire.
13:00I watched coldly as the flames swallowed every memory between us.
13:04Alessio Valenti, there would be no future for us.
13:07Never.
13:08I had just returned to the bedroom when Alessio rushed back.
13:11Only when he saw me did the fear in his eyes finally ease.
13:15Bianca, why did you come home alone?
13:17Do you know how dangerous that was?
13:19You scared me.
13:20You were gone too long and I got scared so I asked the housekeeper to bring me back first.
13:25He pulled me into his arms.
13:27I'm sorry.
13:27Babe, that's my fault.
13:30After that, I said nothing and Alessio didn't leave.
13:33He stayed by my side in the next few days in silence.
13:36On the seventh day, Alessio took me out for a walk.
13:39But he received a call halfway through and said there was an emergency.
13:43He was about to leave in a hurry.
13:45I stopped him and took out a document.
13:47I need you to sign something for me.
13:49I can't see.
13:50Alessio was too eager to go see Vanessa, so he signed without thinking.
13:54What is it?
13:56Buying a car or a house?
13:57As he asked, he handed me a card and told me to buy whatever I wanted.
14:01Then he left quickly.
14:03I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye.
14:05He had no idea that what he had signed was our divorce agreement.
14:08It didn't matter because he didn't care.
14:11I watched Alessio's back as he walked away.
14:14Alexio Velati, goodbye.
14:16I returned to the mansion and placed the divorce agreement on the table.
14:20Then I put the video I had recorded beside it.
14:22I left a note for him.
14:24I could see everything now.
14:25I knew everything.
14:27We are done.
14:27I looked at this house one last time,
14:29picked up my suitcase and left without turning back.
14:32Meanwhile, Alessio drove straight to the hospital.
14:36Vanessa had called him and said she was hurt.
14:38But when Alessio arrived, he realized she had lied again.
14:42It was only a mild cold.
14:44Alessio glared at Vanessa in displeasure.
14:46Don't be so childish next time.
14:48Just as he turned to leave, the doctor who had treated my eyes saw him.
14:52Mr. Volanti, did something happen to Mrs. Volanti's eyes again?
14:56What do you mean?
14:58Mrs. Valeri didn't tell you?
15:01Her sight was restored seven days ago.
15:04Our team finished the treatment.
15:06She could see everything again.
15:08No.
15:09No way.
15:11She was so excited that day.
15:13She said she wanted to run home and tell you the good news herself.
15:17Alessio almost lost his balance and hit the wall beside him.
15:21Seven days.
15:22She saw everything.
15:23She knew everything.
15:25He shoved Vanessa away, rushing back home.
15:28I had just reached the airport when Alessio called me.
15:31Bianca, could you already see?
15:33His hand must have been shaking because even his voice was trembling.
15:36If you're home now, turn on the TV.
15:39The answer is there.
15:41I lowered the phone and opened the security camera app for the mansion.
15:44Alessio had indeed returned home.
15:47Half an hour earlier, the doctor had called me and asked why I had not told Alessio my sight
15:52had come back.
15:53I only smiled bitterly and did not answer him directly.
15:56Now through the camera, I saw Alessio kneeling beside the coffee table.
16:00He turned on the TV.
16:02On the screen were all the private photos and videos of him with Vanessa.
16:06They were so explicit that anyone who saw them would be shocked.
16:10Alessio lifted the phone again and said through broken sobs.
16:13Bianca, you could see all along.
16:16Why did you hide it from me?
16:19Did you ever give me a chance to tell you?
16:21The moment I came home, I saw you in bed with your secretary.
16:25You broke your own vow and you got her pregnant.
16:27I know everything.
16:29You signed the divorce agreement too.
16:32From now on, we are done and we will never see each other again.
16:36I won't divorce you.
16:37I'll never agree to it, not even if I die.
16:40But you already signed it.
16:41This morning, I handed you that document.
16:44And you signed your name without even reading it because you were so eager to see Vanessa.
16:48Alessio Validi, stop lying to yourself.
16:51You already changed.
16:52What are you crying for now?
16:54Alessio looked down at the papers on the table.
16:56Only then did he realize they were our divorce agreement.
16:59His mouth opened, but no words came out for a long time.
17:03Only his tears kept falling.
17:05Bianca, I know I was wrong.
17:06Tell me where you are and I'll come get you.
17:08As long as you don't leave me, I'll do anything you want.
17:11The baby, I can make her get rid of it right now and I'll cut Vanessa off forever.
17:15Strangely, my heart did not hurt anymore.
17:18I felt nothing at all.
17:19So I finally let Alessio go.
17:22Alexio, one wrong choice leads to another and there is no taking it back.
17:25I have already let it go.
17:27No, please.
17:30Bianca, I won't divorce you.
17:31I was wrong.
17:32Forgive me.
17:33Don't leave me.
17:33That's interesting.
17:35You sign the divorce papers yourself, even have a look, because you can't wait to fuck
17:39her.
17:40No, please.
17:41Don't leave me.
17:43Bianca?
17:43The boarding announcement sounded over the airport speakers.
17:46It was time for me to end the call.
17:49Things had already come to this and we had nothing left to say.
17:52He was still begging me to come back through the phone.
17:55I ended the call, pulled out my SIM card, and I took that black card Alessio gave me.
18:00I threw them into the trash and left.
18:02Sicily was over 4,000 miles from New York.
18:05It took two flights before I finally made it home.
18:08The Bolandi estate was not on the mainland.
18:10It stood on a private island off the Sicilian coast.
18:13Since my great-grandfather's time, the Bolandi family had kept that island off every public map.
18:19No ship docked there without permission.
18:21No plane landed there without our signal.
18:23That year, I wanted to see the world beyond the island.
18:26I never expected to meet Alessio the moment I stepped onto the mainland.
18:30He had come to Sicily for a secret meeting between mafia families.
18:34But someone broke the truce.
18:36His car was forced off a coastal road.
18:38I found him bleeding beside the wreck.
18:40With his guards dead around him, I took out my first aid kit and helped stop the bleeding
18:45and bandage his wound.
18:46Then I called an ambulance and took him to the hospital.
18:49I saved his life.
18:50When he woke up, he tried to thank me with money.
18:53I refused it and simply said goodbye.
18:56The second time we met, I was too naive about the outside world and got trapped in a street
19:00scam.
19:01An old woman clung to me and refused to let me go.
19:04Alessio's car happened to pass by.
19:06When he recognized me, he got out and handled it with one cold look.
19:10Just one glance, and everyone backed away.
19:12Then he invited me to dinner with him.
19:14It was my first date in my life.
19:16During the date, he told me a lot about the world outside of Sicily.
19:20His gentle manners and earnest gaze captivated me.
19:23Little by little, my gratitude turned into love.
19:26So did his.
19:27That night, I didn't refuse his heated touch and just let him pull me into his arms.
19:32I was afraid the truth about the Bolandi family would change the way Alessio looked at
19:36me.
19:36So all he ever knew was that I came from an old Sicilian family with vineyards.
19:40He didn't know I was the Bolandi heir.
19:42And I didn't know he was already carrying the blood and violence of the Valenti family
19:46on his shoulders.
19:47On the night I was ready to tell him how I felt, a rival mafia family broke the truce
19:52and came for him.
19:53They attacked us outside the private dock.
19:55One of them rushed at Alessio with a knife.
19:57I saw it before his guards did.
20:00So I stepped in front of him.
20:01The blade meant for Alessio cut into my eyes.
20:04That was when I lost my sight.
20:06Alessio held me outside the operating room for a day and a night.
20:09The Don of the Valenti family, a man who could pull the trigger without blinking, knelt there
20:14with blood on his hands and prayed that I would survive.
20:17He swore he would never abandon me.
20:19He swore that if I could never see again, he would be my eyes.
20:22Those memories hurt to look back on now, because he was no longer the man who had cried for
20:27me that night.
20:28When I arrived, my mother was already waiting for me with the Bolandi elders.
20:32Seeing my family again after so long made my chest ache.
20:35I walked toward them and greeted them one by one.
20:38Bianca, you are finally home.
20:40Have you really let him go?
20:42She looked at me for a long moment, then sighed.
20:46There is nothing left between Alessio and me.
20:49He had gotten Vanessa pregnant.
20:50If I did not leave, was I supposed to stay and watch them become a family of three?
20:55I had given him many chances and hoped he would turn back.
20:57I had hoped he would at least keep one final line and save our marriage.
21:01What was there to regret?
21:02But he didn't.
21:03He only became bolder and more shameless.
21:05Then take it as a lesson life gave you.
21:08For you, it may not be a bad thing.
21:11You are still young.
21:13If you can let go and wake up now, that is already enough.
21:17From now on, stay with me and learn how to run the Bolani family.
21:22The vineyards, the shipping routes, the security company, the medical foundation, all of it
21:27will be yours one day.
21:29Yes, I was only 25.
21:30I still had so much time and a future bright enough to be mine.
21:33From now on, I would no longer waste my life on someone who no longer mattered.
21:38I would begin again.
21:39Time passed in the blink of an eye.
21:41Three years had gone by.
21:42During those three years, I stayed by my mother's side and learned how to run the Bolandi family.
21:46I learned our legal businesses first.
21:49The vineyards, the security company, the shipping routes, the medical foundation that kept our
21:54name clean in public.
21:56Then I learned the part of the family no outsider was allowed to see.
22:00The names of our allies.
22:02The debts owed to us.
22:03The ports we protected.
22:05The families that smiled at our table but sharpened knives behind our backs.
22:10My mother slowly began to trust the younger generation.
22:13She believed the Bolandi family could not stay hidden on Isola Vespera forever.
22:18We needed eyes in other cities, voices in other rooms.
22:22Blood that understood the world beyond Sicily.
22:25So she opened the island for the first time in years.
22:28Not to tourists or business partners.
22:31But to the heads and heirs of the mafia families who wanted a place at the Bolandi table.
22:36I never expected Alessio to be among them.
22:39He came as the don of the Valenti family.
22:41When he saw me standing beside my mother, representing the Bolandi family, he stopped.
22:47His eyes turned red at once.
22:49Only then did Alessio realize that the woman he had betrayed had never been helpless.
22:53I was Bianca Bolandi.
22:55The mafia princess of a family he could not buy, threaten, or control.
23:00He pushed past the men around him and ran toward me.
23:03Before I could react, he had already pulled me tightly into his arms.
23:07The don who once silenced rooms of killers with one glance now carried a shadow between his brows.
23:12I finally found you.
23:14Three years, babe.
23:16I've been looking for you for three years.
23:17I searched almost everywhere.
23:19He held me for a long time, as if he was afraid I would disappear again.
23:22I let out a cold laugh and shoved him away with all my strength.
23:26Who are you dare to touch me?
23:27Alessio stumbled back in front of every don and air in the room.
23:30If anyone else had pushed him like that, he would have made them regret.
23:34But now he was not angry at all.
23:36Instead, he looked at me in panic.
23:38Did I hurt you?
23:39I'm sorry, babe.
23:40I'll be more careful next time.
23:41I just miss you so much.
23:43Alexio, you don't have to act like this.
23:46Stop humiliating yourself.
23:47Whatever we had ended three years ago.
23:50Don't touch me like I still belong to you.
23:52No.
23:53Babe.
23:54I won't accept that.
23:55I can't forget you.
23:57Kill me if you want, but don't push me away.
23:59He came toward me again and tried to kiss me.
24:01I could not bear it anymore and slapped him.
24:04I am Bianca Belandi.
24:05I don't take back men who cheat on me, betray me, and get another woman pregnant.
24:09Alexio, you are dirty and despicable.
24:11No.
24:12I already made Vanessa get rid of the baby.
24:15And I destroyed everything she had.
24:17I will never make that mistake again.
24:20Can you give me one more chance?
24:23Let me make it up to you.
24:24Please.
24:27Alexio, I don't love you anymore.
24:29Whether you believe it or not, my future will never be you.
24:32The light in Alessio's eyes went out.
24:34In the next second, his eyes turned red and he lost control.
24:37You're lying.
24:38Bianca, how could you let me go?
24:41Look me in the eye and say it.
24:43Say you don't love me.
24:44Yes.
24:45I don't love you at all.
24:47Alexio Velotti, can you let go of me now?
24:49This time, Alessio's hand slowly loosened.
24:52The day you left, something in me died.
24:55I had men searching every port from Palomo to New York.
24:58I paid for information, called in favors, and broke every rule I had to break.
25:02As long as I was still breathing, I swore I would find you.
25:05Then your name appeared on the Bologna guest list for this gathering.
25:09That was why I came.
25:11But you don't want me anymore.
25:15Bianca, I'll give you time.
25:16Alessio wiped his tears and ran out in a panic.
25:19After that, Alessio did not leave Sicily.
25:22He stayed in the villa next to the Balandi estate.
25:24He did not bother me openly, but he followed me in secret.
25:27I pretended not to notice him.
25:29No matter what he did, I never looked at him twice.
25:31He could never win back the heart that no longer loved him.
25:34But Alessio was still lying to himself.
25:37One day, a former classmate of mine came to the estate to discuss a new partnership with
25:42the Balandi Medical Foundation.
25:43We talked and laughed about the past.
25:45Alessio thought I had started a new relationship.
25:48He stormed over in a rage and raised his hand I stopped him at once.
25:52Alexio Velati, if you want to lose your mind, do it somewhere else.
25:56Don't interfere with my business.
25:57My classmate stood up, said goodbye to me, and left first.
26:01After he left, I pushed Alessio away in disgust.
26:04But he grabbed my hand and looked at me with deep affection.
26:07Bianca, you've had a few days to calm down.
26:10Can you come back to me and leave with me now?
26:12I frowned and let out a cold laugh.
26:15So in his mind, all those years I was gone had only been a fight between us.
26:20Alexio, did you hear a single word I said?
26:24We are divorced.
26:25I don't love you anymore.
26:27Can you leave now, or is that too hard for you to understand?
26:29I will never forget you undressing another woman and sleeping with Vanessa while I sat
26:33right there!
26:34I will never forget that the medicine you asked me to bring you was actually condoms for you
26:39and your mistress.
26:40And I will never forget the fireworks on my birthday, only for them to spell Vanessa's
26:45name.
26:45I don't know how shameless you have to be to stand here and ask me to go with you so
26:49calmly.
26:50You wanted excitement back then, so now you can live with the price.
26:53Every word I said was like a sharp knife cutting into Alessio's heart and twisting deeper.
26:58The pain made it hard for him to breathe.
27:00I held myself back before I could slap him again.
27:03Then Vanessa appeared.
27:05Alessio had said he had destroyed everything she had.
27:07It was another lie.
27:09She was alive and well, and she looked no different from the day I left three years ago.
27:13Try touching Alessio again.
27:15I'll ruin you.
27:17You were almost useless before, and you're not much better now.
27:21But when she walked up to Alessio, her expression changed into something eager and pleasing.
27:26So the cheating trash finally showed up together.
27:30Should I lock the door and deal with both of you at once?
27:33Since she dared to insult me on my own ground, I no longer needed to hold back.
27:38If she dared to act wild on Belandi territory, I would make sure she crawled out.
27:44Alexio listened to her.
27:45She called us cheating trash.
27:47I'll teach her a lesson.
27:48She rushed toward me and lifted her hand to strike.
27:52Alessio had hit her.
27:53Shut up, bitch.
27:55She was right about you.
27:56You are trash.
27:58You were never anything but my dirty secret, yet you thought you could replace my wife.
28:03Didn't I warn you not to appear in front of me again?
28:06If your ears don't work, I don't mind cutting them off.
28:10Vanessa stared at Alessio in shock.
28:12Before this, Alessio had never been willing to hit her or even speak harshly to her.
28:17But now, for me, he had actually raised his hand against her.
28:20Bianca, don't listen to anything she says.
28:23I won't let her hurt you.
28:25I cut ties with her three years ago.
28:27I swear I'm not lying to you.
28:29I had no interest in his explanation.
28:32Please leave.
28:33Don't come to Sicily again.
28:36I have nothing to say to either of you, so get out.
28:39Alessio's face went pale at once, but Vanessa glared at me with hatred.
28:44She blamed me for all of Alessio's cruelty toward her.
28:47Then she grabbed a chair from the floor and swung it at me.
28:50Alessio was standing beside me.
28:52I shoved him away at once, and we both dodged the chair.
28:55Bianca Bellotti, go to hell!
28:57Go to hell!
28:58She grabbed a vase from the side and threw it at me again.
29:01I finally stopped holding back.
29:03For three years, the Bellendi guards had not trained me to stand there and take another woman's slap.
29:08I was no longer the blind wife Vanessa could humiliate.
29:11The moment I dodged it, I rushed forward and kicked Vanessa down.
29:14She cried out in pain and fell hard to the floor.
29:17Sorry, Miss Vale.
29:18My foot slipped.
29:19Bianca Bellotti, I'll kill you with my own hand!
29:23Alessio finally reacted.
29:25He strode over to Vanessa, grabbed her by the hair.
29:28If you dare hurt her, I'll make sure you pay for it.
29:31Vanessa heard him, tears spilling down her face.
29:34Alessio, you really are heartless.
29:36I kept you satisfied for so long, and the moment you get out of my bed, you pretend I mean
29:41nothing?
29:42Shut up!
29:43Alessio hit her hard and did not let her continue.
29:46Why should I shut up?
29:47You fooled around right in front of your wife, remember?
29:50You were losing your mind over me, but you didn't even dare make a sound.
29:53Remember that?
29:55She thought I would break down and lose control, but she was disappointed.
29:59I felt nothing.
30:00The old me would have shattered at every word.
30:02But Bianca Bellandi had died three years ago, and the woman standing here now belonged to the island, the family,
30:08and herself.
30:09I only stood there quietly and watched the two of them tear each other apart.
30:12Bianca Bellandi, stop pretending you're above this!
30:15You're clearly furious, but you won't even admit it!
30:20Whether I'm furious or not has nothing to do with you, but you should worry about yourself first.
30:26That kick was not light.
30:28I hope you can still stand when this is over.
30:30If you want Alexio Valenti, take him.
30:34We are already divorced anyway.
30:35When Alessio heard that, and he stumbled back a step.
30:38So now you knew what that kind of pain felt like, Alessio.
30:41I had carried that pain alone when I was blind, while he touched another woman right in front of me.
30:45At last, I found the whole thing boring and turned to leave.
30:48Alexio, did you hear her?
30:50Only I truly love you!
30:55Vanessa collapsed to the floor, clutching herself in pain.
30:58I turned back and saw a gun in Alessio's hand.
31:01He had shot Vanessa, blood spread across her dress and onto the floor.
31:05She is the reason you left.
31:07She is the reason you don't want me anymore.
31:09And now she still wants to hurt you.
31:11I told her that anyone who hurt you would pay.
31:14She dragged herself backward, afraid he would come at her again.
31:17After hesitating for a few seconds, I turned back.
31:20When I came back, Alessio was still holding the gun, and his expression was terrifying.
31:25Alexio, stop!
31:26I pulled the gun and aimed it at him.
31:28If you kill her on Bolandi land, I won't protect you.
31:31When Alessio heard my voice, he finally froze.
31:33Then he looked at me, his face stained with blood.
31:36I was getting rid of the threat for you.
31:38She said she would kill you.
31:39For a moment, too many emotions pressed against my chest, and I did not know what to say.
31:44Vanessa lay on the floor, pale and barely conscious from blood loss.
31:48Alessio dropped the gun.
31:49Then he slowly walked toward me.
31:51My gun was still pointed at him, but he did not seem afraid.
31:54I did not lower it, not until he stopped in front of me and rested his head on my shoulder.
31:59Bianca, can you hold me one more time?
32:00Before I could answer, the Bolandi men rushed in and forced Alessio to the floor.
32:05Let me go.
32:06Bianca was about to hold me.
32:07Why did you stop her?
32:09No one answered him.
32:10It's fine.
32:10He won't hurt me.
32:12If one hug could make him give up and end this obsession, I was willing to hug him.
32:17Alexio, this is the last time I will ever hold you.
32:19He leaned into my arms and broke down crying.
32:22Again and again, he said he was sorry.
32:24Again and again, he said everything was his fault.
32:27When my mother's men dragged him away, he kept turning back to look at me.
32:30I watched him disappear beyond the estate gates.
32:33My former classmate walked out from the side.
32:36Bianca, are you alright?
32:37It turned out he had never left.
32:39He had been watching nearby, and the moment Vanessa attacked me, he alerted the Bolandi guards.
32:44I thanked him politely and walked out through the estate gates.
32:48The car carrying Alessio slowly disappeared from sight.
32:51This time, we were truly over.
32:53Goodbye, Alessio Valenti.
32:54After Alessio left the island, I thought the worst was finally over.
32:58I was wrong.
32:59The next morning, my mother placed four photographs on the table between us.
33:03What is this?
33:04Your future husband.
33:05I almost laughed.
33:06Mother, I just got rid of one.
33:08And now every mafia family in Sticily wants to marry into ours.
33:12If you do not choose, the elders will choose for you.
33:15I looked down at the photographs.
33:17The first man was old enough to be my father.
33:19The second was famous for keeping three mistresses in the same house.
33:23The third smiled too much.
33:24I no longer trusted that kind of man.
33:27Then I reached the last photograph.
33:29The man wore a black suit and no smile.
33:31His eyes were cold, and a silver ring marked him as the don of the Ferraro family.
33:35My mother immediately covered the picture with her hand.
33:38Not him.
33:39Why?
33:40Leandro Ferraro does not want a wife.
33:43He wants power, ports, and territory.
33:46That should have frightened me.
33:47Instead, I pulled the photograph from beneath her fingers.
33:51Good.
33:52I do not want love.
33:54The doors behind me opened.
33:55Every guard in the room straightened.
33:57A man's footsteps crossed the marble floor, slow and unhurried.
34:01Then a deep voice came from behind my chair.
34:03You should read my terms before choosing me.
34:06I turned around.
34:06The man from the photograph was standing there.
34:09The man from the photograph was standing there.
