00:01Don't worry, dear. If my son acts up, I'll make sure he behaves.
00:07I won't let anyone give you a hard time.
00:09Who's giving her a hard time?
00:11She disappeared over one tiny misunderstanding.
00:14If life got rough out there, maybe she needed the lesson.
00:18Hearing that, my heart actually skipped a beat.
00:20Even now, he still thought abandoning me at City Hall for Madison was only a tiny misunderstanding.
00:26The Ethan who used to love me was truly dead on our wedding registration day.
00:32Ethan had me dragged out of City Hall.
00:34He brought his childhood sweetheart Madison in to sign the papers instead.
00:40Madison's baby needs a father on paper. Once we divorce, I'll marry you.
00:44Everyone thought I would swallow my pride and wait another month.
00:47After all, I had already waited seven years.
00:50But that same night, I fled overseas to go through with an arranged mafia marriage.
00:55I vanished from his world completely.
00:58Three years later, I returned with my husband for a clan memorial.
01:02Last minute, he was pulled away to sort out a conflict on one of his territories.
01:05So he ordered one of his men from the local crew to pick me up.
01:09I stepped out of the airport and froze.
01:11I caught sight of a sign printed with my name in the arrivals hall.
01:15I stepped forward, only to run into Ethan, my ex I hadn't seen in three years.
01:19He'd brought Madison and a handful of his trusted crew.
01:24Once, Ethan had been nothing but nobody.
01:27Judging by his suit, he'd clearly climbed the ranks in the local mafia crew.
01:31All of them craned their necks, eagerly staring toward the exit.
01:35Ethan, isn't that your obsessed ex?
01:37Isn't that Natalie?
01:38Everyone turned to look at me, snickering and joking around.
01:41See?
01:43I told you guys she would come crawling back.
01:47Natalie disappeared for three years.
01:49Not a call, not a text.
01:51And now Ethan finally has power, and look who suddenly found her way back.
01:55She probably spent every night stalking his socials and crying into a cheap pillow.
01:59Natalie, if you're trying to stage a dramatic reunion, sweatpants were a bold choice.
02:06Couldn't you at least brush your hair first?
02:08Or did life without Ethan get so bad you stopped trying altogether?
02:11You look like you came here to beg for protection, not make a comeback.
02:14It was true.
02:16I used to spend hours getting ready for Ethan.
02:18Full makeup, tight dresses.
02:20I always made sure I looked absolutely perfect for him.
02:23But I did not need to do that anymore.
02:25I was pregnant, so my husband would not let me wear makeup.
02:29He wanted me to wear whatever felt comfortable.
02:31He even had this plain-looking loungewear custom-tailored for me in Paris.
02:35Listening to them mock me, it suddenly clicked.
02:38They knew they had been ordered to pick up Don Moretti's woman,
02:41but they had no idea that woman was me.
02:43An old acquaintance of mine quickly stepped in to diffuse the awkwardness.
02:46Anyway, it's nice having you back.
02:48Ethan actually spent years looking for you.
02:50He asked all over about you.
02:52Ethan's face stiffened for a second.
02:54Then he acted like nothing had happened.
02:57Madison's kid starts preschool next week.
02:59From now on, you're in charge of drop off and pick up.
03:01He was still incredibly arrogant.
03:03But I was not that naive little girl anymore.
03:05Seeing him only filled me with annoyance.
03:08I did not want to waste another second on them.
03:10I was just about to tell them exactly who I was.
03:12Natalie, don't blame Ethan for this.
03:14He's only trying to look out for you.
03:16You disappeared for three years.
03:17Who knows what kind of shady things you had to do to survive.
03:19Look at you.
03:20Life really chewed you up.
03:21Ethan even wanted to give you a job as my personal assistant.
03:24But clearly that would be too much for you.
03:25Three years later, Madison was still just as stuck up.
03:29Don't worry.
03:30Being my nursey is honest work.
03:32No one's going to look down on you for that.
03:35Her attitude alone made my stomach turn.
03:37Ethan misread my disgust as jealousy.
03:40Alright Natalie, drop the attitude.
03:42You clearly couldn't make it on your own.
03:44So stop making a scene.
03:47Take care of the kid.
03:48And learn your place.
03:49Don't worry.
03:50We still have a spare room for the nanny downstairs.
03:53All you need to do is help Madison look after her kid.
03:57Isn't that far better than your miserable life right now?
04:00Come over and thank Ethan quickly.
04:04Don't worry dear.
04:06If my son acts up, I'll make sure he behaves.
04:11I won't let anyone give you a hard time.
04:13Who's giving her a hard time?
04:14She disappeared over one tiny misunderstanding.
04:18If life got rough out there, maybe she needed the lesson.
04:21Hearing that, my heart actually skipped a beat.
04:23Even now, he still thought abandoning me at City Hall for Madison was only a tiny misunderstanding.
04:30The Ethan who used to love me was truly dead.
04:33He was no longer the boy who carried me across town while ignoring his own bleeding wounds.
04:38But whatever that love had been, it was all in the past.
04:42None of it mattered anymore.
04:44After all, I was about to give birth to my second baby anyway.
04:47I pushed all those swirling thoughts down.
04:50I had no desire to bicker with them here.
04:52Aren't you here to pick me up?
04:53Let's go.
04:54The scene went quiet for a moment.
04:56Several people exchanged looks.
04:58Then, they suddenly burst into laughter.
05:02Waiting for you?
05:04Do you even deserve that?
05:07Read the sign.
05:08We're waiting for Mrs. Moretti.
05:11Do you even know who that is?
05:13Of course.
05:13I knew that was me.
05:15Mrs. Moretti is the lady of the Moretti family.
05:17She is Damon Moretti's lawful wife.
05:19And Don Moretti is a ruthless mafia boss.
05:25But in private, he is deeply devoted.
05:31People say he refused to get married back then because he was waiting for her.
05:35Everyone in this city knows this.
05:37Don't bother sucking up to Damon.
05:38Suck up to Mrs. Moretti.
05:43She is his entire world.
05:45Listening to them gossip about my marriage, I could not help smiling.
05:49A genuine smile spread across my face.
05:52After three years of marriage, Damon's business had grown bigger and bigger, and his reputation as a fiercely devoted husband
05:58had spread everywhere.
06:00Madison had always wanted to stand above me.
06:03She would never miss a chance to show off in front of me.
06:05To spoil his wife, Damon Moretti once bought a diamond bracelet at Christie's.
06:12It's called Eternal Heart.
06:13It cost 20 million dollars.
06:16Mrs. Moretti is literally the most envied woman on earth.
06:20Madison pointed at my wrist.
06:23That's the Exarcher of the Stardustius!
06:26A hush fell over the crowd.
06:29Everyone's eyes locked onto the bracelet on my wrist.
06:35It's a pretty good fake.
06:36What broke delivery guy bought you this?
06:39A cheap knockoff as a gift?
06:41Pathetic.
06:42I yanked my hand free, smiling softly while brushing the bracelet.
06:46Ethan's eyes widened at my happy look.
06:49He grabbed my wrist and tore the bracelet off.
06:51I was caught off guard and couldn't stop him.
06:54Madison stepped up, took the bracelet from him, and twisted it in her hand.
06:59It really is a high-quality fake.
07:01Way better than the replica I bought.
07:04But I'd never wear mine in public.
07:06That would be humiliating.
07:09Foreign knockoffs really are something.
07:12The wait almost feels real.
07:14Wait!
07:16Don't tell me you're saying you're the real Mrs. Morelli!
07:20Natalie!
07:21Are you seriously claiming you're the legendary Dawn's wife?
07:26They burst into loud laughter the second she finished speaking.
07:29It all sounded absurd to them.
07:32Damon was a notorious mafia genius.
07:37Cold-blooded and merciless in the underworld.
07:40Three years ago, I'd still been hanging around them.
07:43The girl Ethan left at the altar.
07:46No one could believe it.
07:48Alice twirled the bracelet around her finger.
07:50Natalie, why don't you sell me this fake?
07:53I'll pay you double whatever that broke delivery guy paid.
07:57Give that back right now.
07:59Damon gave that to me.
08:03Shut your mouth!
08:04Natalie, are you trying to get us both killed?
08:07You think you can just casually drop Don Morelli's name?
08:10Are you trying to drag me down with you?
08:12Are you trying to...
08:14His friends immediately joined in.
08:16Do you have any idea how hard we fought for this airport pickup?
08:19Mon Moretti put Ethan's business under his protection last year.
08:22Now all of us survive under Moretti protection.
08:25The only way Ethan keeps his place in the Moretti circle is if we impress Mrs. Moretta.
08:29And you're out here spreading insane rumors about knowing him?
08:32Are you trying to ruin Ethan's career?
08:34I wiped the blood from my split lip.
08:36My stare must have been ice cold because Ethan frowned.
08:40A trace of panic flashed through his eyes.
08:43Madison pointed at me and snapped.
08:45Natalie!
08:46You ungrateful little...
08:48Ethan was kind enough to keep you off the street.
08:51Don't push your luck.
08:53I know you're bitter about the past, but trying to wreck his career just to get back at him?
08:59That's sick.
09:00Hearing her say that felt exactly like three years ago.
09:03No matter what I did, Madison twisted it.
09:06She would feed Ethan her poisoned version of the truth.
09:08In the early days, he used to defend me.
09:11But by the end, he always took her side.
09:13Just like right now.
09:15You're such a bitter, jealous woman.
09:18But this time, Ethan did not keep yelling at me.
09:21After a short silence, Lucas pulled out a $200,000 check.
09:25For the sake of what we used to be, I'll let this slide.
09:28Take the check.
09:30Go buy yourself something decent to wear.
09:33If you really don't want to nanny Madison's kid, I'll pull some strings and get you a proper job next
09:37week.
09:38Don't worry.
09:39Ever since the Moretti protection, this kind of money is pocket cheese in my world now.
09:43The way he handed me that check made me sick.
09:46No, thank you, sir.
09:48I don't take handouts from strangers.
09:50Grabbed me before I could take a few steps.
09:52Natalie, I gave you money and you still refused?
09:55What do you mean?
09:56He questioned me with a cold face.
10:01I'm a stranger to you?
10:03The Sweezing broke it up. It's better not to have an Ataki bra for that. People might understand.
10:08I thought of my jealous husband.
10:12But Ethan glanced at Madison. Then he looked as if he had understood everything.
10:16The Moretti family is hosting a private gala for Don Moretti in three days.
10:20I plan to take you there to see the world, but you need to buy a proper outfit first. Don't
10:25embarrass me when the time comes.
10:27There really is no need.
10:29Hearing me refuse again, Ethan clenched his jaw so hard I could hear it.
10:34Natalie, you really have learned some attitude.
10:38Sure enough, poor people always have the worst temper.
10:41Since you don't want to go, forget it. I'll take Madison.
10:46Madison's eyes lit up.
10:47Ethan, I'll behave well. I absolutely won't embarrass you.
10:51I didn't want to keep getting tangled up with them.
10:53Before leaving, I left one sentence behind.
10:56I hope that in three days, you can still be this as confident.
11:04I practically sprinted out of the arrival terminal.
11:07The fresh air outside finally pushed down the nausea churning in my stomach.
11:11My mind flashed back to three years ago.
11:13My parents had been pressuring me into an arranged marriage overseas.
11:17I fought them on it.
11:19I could not marry that man, I thought.
11:21I begged Ethan, my boyfriend of seven years.
11:24Ethan, just elope with me.
11:27Ethan agreed.
11:29Let's leave here.
11:32But when I showed up, he'd brought his childhood sweetheart Madison to marry.
11:41Her child needs a legal father.
11:44I will divorce Madison in a month, then marry you.
11:49He told me not to overthink it.
11:51Don't overthink it.
11:52Watching him hold her hand and walk into that clerk's office, I was completely done.
11:58I flew overseas for a blind date that very night.
12:03A month later, I married Damon Moretti.
12:08A year later, we had our first baby.
12:11And now, I was pregnant with our second.
12:15Honestly, if it had not been for Damon's family memorial, I never would have set foot back in this country.
12:21And I definitely would not have run into Ethan.
12:23Three days later, I showed up to the Moretti charity gala alone.
12:27I wore light makeup and my custom loungewear.
12:29The second Ethan saw me, his eyes lit up.
12:32A smug smirk spread across his face.
12:34You said you wouldn't come, but your body is honest.
12:37If you want to chase me and make me turn back, you at least need to make me happy.
12:41For an occasion like today, you need to dress properly.
12:45Only then can you match my status.
12:48I ignored him and walked toward my own seat.
12:50Ethan grabbed my arm.
12:52Natalie, I'm talking to you.
12:54Did you hear me?
12:56Our seats are right here.
12:57Where do you think you're going?
12:59I pulled my arm free.
13:02Those are your seats.
13:07My seat is over there.
13:09Madison's eyes turned sharp.
13:11Natalie, how did you sneak in here?
13:13Are you here to cause trouble?
13:16How dare you wear that bracelet?
13:18The guests around us began whispering.
13:21Wait, is that the eternal heart bracelet?
13:24The one Dodd Morelli bought for his wife?
13:26Tonight is Mrs. Morelli's first public appearance.
13:28Is this woman trying to insult Mrs. Marina?
13:31She snuck in?
13:32Is she trying to embarrass us in front of Doc Morelli?
13:34One of the guests turned to Ethan.
13:36Excuse me, Ethan.
13:38Is this young lady with you?
13:41No.
13:42I don't know her.
13:44Take that fake bracelet off and get out.
13:48Are you sure you want me to leave?
13:50What are you pretending for?
13:52Stop acting like you're important.
13:54Hurry up and take off the bracelet.
13:57She lunged forward to snatch it off my wrist.
13:59I swatted her hand away and stepped back.
14:01Someone tripped me out of nowhere.
14:03I crashed to the floor, dazed.
14:11You're really treating this cheap garbage like it's treasure?
14:16Madison pinned my hand under her heel.
14:19Pain shot through my hand.
14:21My wrist was scraped raw and bleeding, but I only sat there,
14:25staring blankly at the snapped bracelet and the diamonds scattered across the floor.
14:29Pick her up and throw her out.
14:31A few security guards immediately surrounded me.
14:34They reached down to grab my arms and legs.
14:37I panicked and struggled.
14:39Get your hands off me!
14:45I am Damon Moretti's!
14:47No!
14:48Are you going to make up rumors again?
14:50Are you going to say you are Don Moretti's mistress now?
14:53You're insane.
14:54When I came back to the States this time, I had not planned to bother with revenge.
14:59It felt beneath me.
15:01But right now, I was going to make sure she paid for this.
15:05Ethan crouched down in front of me.
15:09Natalie, are you done throwing your little fit?
15:11You showed up wearing a fake diamond bracelet and dressed like you rolled out of bed.
15:18Now that you see I'm doing well, you want to make me jealous?
15:20If you want me back, just beg.
15:23I'll say yes.
15:28Ethan, you are absolutely screwed.
15:31On our wedding registration day,
15:34Ethan had me dragged out of City Hall.
15:36He brought his childhood sweetheart Madison in to sign the papers instead.
15:41Madison's baby needs a father on paper.
15:43Once we divorce, I'll marry you.
15:45Everyone thought I would swallow my pride and wait another month.
15:49After all, I had already waited seven years.

19:05Don't worry dear.
19:07If my son acts up, I'll make sure he behaves.
19:12I won't let anyone give you a hard time.
19:14Who's giving her a hard time?
19:16She disappeared over one tiny misunderstanding.
19:19If life got rough out there, maybe she needed the lesson.
19:22Hearing that, my heart actually skipped a beat.
19:25Even now, he still thought abandoning me at City Hall for Madison was only a tiny misunderstanding.
19:31The Ethan who used to love me was truly dead.

19:55Let's go.
19:56The scene went quiet for a moment.
19:58Several people exchanged looks.
19:59Then, they suddenly burst into laughter.
20:04Waiting for you?
20:05Do you even deserve that?
20:08Read the sign.
20:09We're waiting for Mrs. Moretti.
20:12Do you even know who that is?
20:14Of course.
20:15I knew that was me.
20:16Mrs. Moretti is the lady of the Moretti family.
20:18She is Damon Moretti's lawful wife.
20:21And Don Moretti is a ruthless mafia boss.

20:32People say he refused to get married back then because he was waiting for her.

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

43:31Is this woman trying to insult Mrs. Marina?
43:33She snuck in?
43:34Is she trying to embarrass us in front of Doc Morelli?
43:37One of the guests turned to Ethan.
43:39Excuse me, Ethan.
43:40Is this young lady with you?
43:44No.
43:45I don't know her.
43:47Take that fake bracelet off and get out.
43:51Are you sure you want me to leave?
43:53What are you pretending for?
43:55Stop acting like you're important!
43:57Hurry up and take off the bracelet!
43:59She lunged forward to snatch it off my wrist.
44:02I swatted her hand away and stepped back.
44:04Someone tripped me out of nowhere.
44:05I crashed to the floor, dazed.
44:14You're really treating this cheap garbage like it's treasure?
44:19Madison pinned my hand under her heel.
44:21Pain shot through my hand.
44:23My wrist was scraped raw and bleeding, but I only sat there, staring blankly at the snapped bracelet and the
44:30diamonds scattered across the floor.
44:32Pick her up and throw her out.
44:34A few security guards immediately surrounded me.
44:37They reached down to grab my arms and legs.
44:40I panicked and struggled.
44:42Get your hands off me!
44:47I am Damon Moretti's!
44:49No!
44:51Are you going to make up rumors again?
44:53Are you going to say you are Don Moretti's mistress now?
44:55You're insane!
44:56When I came back to the States this time, I had not planned to bother with revenge.
45:01It felt beneath me.
45:04But right now, I was going to make sure she paid for this.
45:08Ethan crouched down in front of me.
45:12Natalie, are you done throwing your little fit?
45:14You showed up wearing a fake diamond bracelet and dressed like you rolled out of bed.
45:20Now that you see I'm doing well, you want to make me jealous?
45:23If you want me back, just beg.
45:25I'll say yes.
45:30Ethan, you are absolutely screwed.
