CreativityTranscript
00:04You're nothing but a worthless slut who spreads her legs for anyone.
00:09Dante's stepsister, Bianca, took my black card to the casino, lost five million dollars, then turned around and slapped me.
00:16So I froze the card, and she couldn't cover the debt.
00:20The casino owner dragged her into a back room and held her there for three days until Dante found her.
00:26Dante didn't blame me. He smiled and stroked my cheek.
00:29You're the wife of a mafia boss, and you're jealous of a little girl.
00:33Now everyone is laughing at her.
00:35On our wedding anniversary, Dante took me to his new casino.
00:38He reserved the largest VIP suite, ordered expensive food and several bottles of wine.
00:43Baby, I'm stepping out to meet some friends. They're gonna celebrate with us.
00:47I waited three hours, and Dante never came back.
00:50When I took out my card to settle the bill, the manager told me,
00:54Ma'am, your card has been frozen.
00:56Frozen?
00:56This black card was Dante's. Before he left, he'd taken my black card.
01:03Sweetheart, it's our anniversary. Tonight's on me.
01:06I was so touched at the time. I was even planning to take him to meet my father the next
01:10day,
01:11the most feared godfather of them all.
01:13What Dante didn't know was that everything he had now, the family's highest position,
01:18all of it I'd built for him with my own hands, using the name of the Marchetti family. But now,
01:23he was nowhere to be found. I made dozens of calls, and no one picked up. The manager's
01:27expression shifted from polite to impatient.
01:30Ma'am, do you have another card that works? House rules? No tabs? Not even for the owner's wife?
01:35I remembered a month ago when I'd frozen the card Bianca was using at a casino, and she'd ended up
01:40detained. Could it be? A sense of dread crawled up my spine. Was this Dante taking revenge for her?
01:46Suddenly, the sound of hard souls striking marble came from the doorway. I turned and saw Dante walk in
01:50with his arm around his stepsister, and her face was full of hatred for me. Behind them followed a
01:55crowd of people from various families. Every gaze fixed on me. Nina, don't you love punishing people
02:00who can't pay their bills? Well, now it's your turn. When you can't pay your own way, what are you
02:06going to do? They say Nina came from nothing, got lucky, and caught Don Ricci's eye. Now her own
02:14husband walks in with his dear stepsister to watch her humiliate her. See that? This is how it ends when
02:20you claw your way up on a pretty face alone. Exactly. Dante and Bianca clearly have something
02:24going on. Nina's good days are almost over. The fire of humiliation surged up in me. Dante
02:30had set this trap purely to get back at me. He led Bianca to the front table, pulled out
02:34a chair, and sat down. Bianca, relax. However Nina humiliated you that day, I'll pay her back
02:39the exact same way. Thank you, Dante. Nina, spreading your legs for a man is the only thing you're
02:46good for. What gave you the right to freeze my car? She grabbed an expensive bottle off the
02:49table and smashed it at my feet. Wine splashed onto my face, making me look even more wretched.
02:55You useless thing. Dante's got my back now. I can break whatever I want and he'll pay for
03:01it. You're the one out of luck. Don't stare at me like you want to skin me alive. If you've
03:05got your own money, settle the bill and go. Where would she get money to fix anything? Just
03:08the cost of that bottle of wine would be enough to leave her stunned. Lived off his money.
03:11The moment she loses Dante, she's nothing. Dante, aren't you afraid that I could bring you down
03:16from your godfather throne? You eat at my table and you dare threaten the godfather?
03:25Anyone who dares help Nina out of this is an enemy of the Ricci family. Everyone knew Dante Ricci
03:31was a heavyweight among the mafia bosses. He'd spent five years building his empire. He'd gone
03:36from a street enforcer to one of the most feared men on the east coast. He controlled casinos,
03:41smuggling routes, and protection rackets. No one dared cross him. A few associates close
03:46to me had been ready to step in and help, but when they heard his voice and shrank back
03:50into their seats, terrified he might notice. See that? He means it. He loves his stepsister
03:54more than his own wife. Who would dare help Nina now? I thought they were married and Dante
03:58was just angry. Now it looks like he's serious. After his threats, who would dare help Nina?
04:02I grabbed Dante's hand and demanded an answer. Dante, are you really going to humiliate
04:06me for Bianca? Yes.
04:11I looked at him, unable to believe it. We'd been married five years. We'd built this empire
04:15together. When I first came to New York, he was the one who pursued me. At our wedding,
04:19he swore he'd always be faithful to me, that he'd never betray me. And now? Just five years.
04:25Every vow, every good memory, wiped away by his cold hand. Dante would never know that I'd
04:30married into the Ricci family entirely of my own free will. Not for their meager money,
04:34but because I loved him. Dante pulled out a tissue and wiped the hand he'd struck me
04:39with. You know full well how much I dotty on, Bianca. Why did you have to pick on her?
04:43Nina, if you can't pay the bill, I'll have them strip you bare and throw you out of my
04:47casino naked. Dante's actually going to send his own wife out naked?
04:53She won't be his wife much longer. After tonight, she'll go back to being a nobody.
04:57Let's see now whether she's got a body worth showing off.
05:00I was so angry, my whole face flushed red. Right now, apart from one expensive custom
05:05outfit, I had nothing to pay with. Even my phone was dead. All of this was part of Dante's plan.
05:12Nina, it's getting late. The casino's still waiting for you to settle up. Don't tell me
05:17you can't afford it. If you've got no money to pay, I'll have the manager strip your clothes
05:20off and make you crawl out on your knees. Bianca put a long, thin cigarette between her lips
05:25and lit it. Then she blew the smoke straight at me. That smug look on her face made me raise
05:29my hand
05:30and slap her before I could stop myself. The room descended into chaos. Dante, aching for Bianca,
05:35had the bodyguards come in and throw me to the floor.
05:38Nina, that's enough. You can toy with other people, but they can't hit back?
05:41Dante reached the position of family head in just five years, and it was all thanks to me. I used
05:45my
05:45father's influence time and time again to clear every obstacle in his path. Tonight, I had planned to tell
05:50him my true identity. I am the daughter of the most feared godfather in the world. I had planned
05:54to take him to meet my father. I misjudged him. I overestimated his character. Dante, are you really
05:59going to make me walk out of this casino in shame? What else? Did you think I planned all this
06:05just
06:06for a joke? You bitch. Either you can't pay and you get locked up, or you strip naked, bite down
06:11on
06:11that piece of beef, and crawl out across the floor barking like a dog. That's the difference. First option,
06:15you keep your clothes. Second, no clothes, no dignity left. Huh, hurry up and choose. I can't
06:20wait. Fine. Since this is your choice, then when your family falls one day, you'll have
06:25only yourself to blame. Has she been reading too many novels? Cast herself as some secret
06:30eras? She's completely lost it. Quit the act. You want to bring down my empire? You? You're
06:36not worth it. Better figure out how you're getting out of this. Manager. Ma'am, is this
06:40a cash transaction, or is someone covering for you? I looked around the room, my eyes landing
06:44on a partner I used to work with often, back when I still did business under Dante's name.
06:48I walked toward her. The moment she saw me coming, she stood up and stepped back. Nina,
06:52don't come near me. I don't dare pay for you. Don't be scared. I'm not asking you to pay.
06:57I just want to borrow your phone for a second. Is that alright? I only want to call a friend
07:02and have them bring some money to cover the bill. She's really putting on quite a performance
07:07now. Who dare bail her out? Let her make the call. We'll give her half an hour. If time's
07:12up and she's got nothing, I'll have these fat old men strip her. The woman handed me the phone,
07:19just as Bianca had instructed. I immediately called my friend. It's me. I need you to bring
07:25cash to the Ruby Casino. Come now. I'll be right there. Came the reply on the other end. The minutes
07:31ticked by, one by one. Ten minutes left. Bianca couldn't wait any longer and stood up. What a fool
07:36I am, actually believing this bitch. As if she could find a friend to come pay her bill.
07:42Manager, break this whore's arms in first. No one's bringing money. The manager and the bodyguards
07:47closed in, face is vicious, and I raised a hand to stop it. Wait, aren't there still ten minutes
07:50left? When the ten minutes are up, someone will be here right on time with the money.
07:55Bring the money, my ass. I'll be generous and give you another shirt. If Warren shows up with cash,
07:59I'll bite this piece of rote and crawl out like a dog. Bianca sneered. My eyes lit up.
08:04You said that. Remember it. That's right. I said it. And everyone here can bear witness.
08:10The room boiled over. This show's too good. I don't even want to go home.
08:13Who would have thought a night of gambling would come with a performance like this?
08:16The ten minutes were almost up. A fat man reached out eagerly, trying to touch me.
08:20Don't touch me. I knocked his hand away.
08:23That chest, that figure. Even without touching, I can tell it's pretty nice.
08:27Dante, why don't you give her to me? Dante smiled, downed his glass in one gulp,
08:32and toyed with his lighter. As long as she can't pay the bill, we can all play with her.
08:37Everyone had decided I couldn't pay, so they ignored what I said and put their hands on me
08:40directly. Bianca's mouth curved into a cold smile as she gave the order to Dante's men.
08:45Get on her. Hold her down so this bunch can have their fun.
08:48The guards pinned my hands and feet. I stared at Dante,
08:50and my heart felt like it sank into a cold, frozen valley. We were still husband and wife in name.
08:55Letting other men put their hands on me was a disgrace to him too, but he didn't care at all.
08:59Don't look at me like that. I can't help you. I just want to make Bianca happy.
09:05Two minutes left!
09:09The crowd pressed in toward me. They ordered the guards to hold me down while they reached out
09:14and tore at my clothes. I fought with everything I had.
09:17Nina, take your clothes off yourself. That way it won't hurt so much.
09:23Dante, you're going to regret this.
09:26Regret what? Teaching that gold-digging wife of mine a lesson?
09:30Without me, you're nothing. Everything you have, I gave you.
09:35You really think you built this empire yourself?
09:38What else?
09:39What an idiot.
09:41One minute left! This is even better than I imagined!
09:44High and mighty Nina, down on the floor like a dog!
09:47Quick, get your phones out and film it!
09:52What a shame. I really was hoping someone would show up. That would have been more interesting.
09:56The guards stepped forward and reached out to grab me.
09:59Ten, nine, eight.
10:00I'm counting down!
10:02To do!
10:04A woman stood there. Tall, elegant.
10:07Her eyes were as cold as winter.
10:09But what truly made everyone hold their breath wasn't her appearance.
10:12It was the twenty armed men in black suits flanking her on both sides.
10:15It's Vera Castelloni. God, why is she here?
10:18Oh my god, she's the infamous black widow of the mafia world.
10:20Any man who dared cross her never lived to tell the tale.
10:23Ms. Marcelli, sorry. Traffic was bad. Good thing I'm not late.
10:29Confusion washed over Dante, Bianca, and every other person in the room.
10:33Mrs. Castellona, what brings you here?
10:35You hold enormous power.
10:37How could someone as insignificant as Nina persuade you to come settle her tack?
10:41Is that really Vera Castelloni?
10:43Vera did not spare Dante or Bianca a single glance.
10:46She walked toward me with deference in every step.
10:48Ms. Marchetti, Ms. Ferrari sent me to sort this out first.
10:51She is on her way here as we speak.
10:54Who gave any of you the nerve to treat Ms. Marchelli with such disrespect?
10:58The noisy room fell dead silent in an instant.
11:01Dante might be a powerful boss within his family,
11:04but Vera's reach, business holdings, and connections
11:06were more than enough to bring him down completely.
11:09When Dante first clawed his way to the top,
11:11everyone wondered how he had pulled it off.
11:14They never dared imagine the truth.
11:16It was his wife, the woman everyone dismissed and overlooked,
11:19who had pushed him every step of the way.
11:21Dante had once told me a promise.
11:23I will become the most powerful boss alive,
11:26so I will have all the wealth and influence
11:28to let my wife spend money without a single care.
11:31Everything had changed now.
11:32I had lifted him to the throne,
11:34and I could just as easily yank him back down from it.
11:37No one dared whisper a word amid Vera's simmering rage.
11:40Did Nina really call a friend to cover her bill?
11:42Our bets still stood after all.
11:44If I paid the charges,
11:45she would have to sink her teeth into raw meat
11:47and crawl across the floor yelping like a dog.
11:50No, this cannot be real.
11:51The famous Vera Castelloni is friends with that worthless bitch?
11:54It is impossible!
11:55Was it you who put Ms. Marchelli in this humiliating state?
11:59The deadly weight of that question
12:01made Bianca's legs buckle beneath her.
12:03Dante quickly reached out to steady her.
12:05What are you scared of?
12:07I am still here.
12:08Bianca slowly fought back her fear.
12:11That is right.
12:12Dante is an immensely powerful figure.
12:15I might fear Vera,
12:16but that does not mean Dante has anything to fear from her.
12:19She gathered her courage and stood tall once more.
12:21Dante turned to face me.
12:23I do not know what sort of bond you share with Vera,
12:25but let me make this clear.
12:27The Ritchie family calls all the shots in this city.
12:30As for you, Ms. Castellana,
12:32take this as a warning.
12:33This is internal family business,
12:35and you have no right to interfere.
12:36I defeated you once to claim this position at the top.
12:39I can drive you out of power all over again.
12:42Please, Dante, spare us the empty boasts.
12:46If Nina had not stepped in to help you years ago,
12:49a nobody like you would have been swallowed whole
12:52by your rivals long ago.
12:54Everything you own today was given to you by her.
12:57You have no idea how lucky you truly are.
13:00Dante in disbelief.
13:02He did not believe a single word I said.
13:03I was growing tired of going back and forth with them.
13:06There was no point dragging this out.
13:08Soon enough, Dante would learn exactly what happens
13:10when you cross me.
13:11The consequences would be far more than he could bear.
13:13I will settle the bill.
13:17But do you remember the bet Bianca and I had?
13:22We will not pick sides for now.
13:24No one can tell who holds the real power here.
13:26We will just sit back and watch.
13:28Everyone knew another spectacle was about to unfold.
13:30Ha ha ha, exactly right.
13:32Life is tedious enough.
13:34We deserve some entertainment to pass the time.
13:36Bianca suddenly darted forward
13:37and jabbed a finger straight at my nose.
13:39You worthless whore!
13:40Do not push your luck!
13:41Even if we made a bet, what can you possibly do to me?
13:44Dante runs everything here!
13:46Do you think Vera can force me to keep my word?
13:49I will never comply!
13:51Go ahead and cry all you want!
13:52Dante smiled fondly and stroked her cheek,
13:54treating her like a precious treasure.
13:56My own smile faded completely.
13:58I hoped he would cling to that same affection for her
14:00once news spread that the entire Ricci family
14:03had crumbled to ruin.
14:04Vera's brows drew together,
14:06and she gestured to her men dressed in all black.
14:08One of them strode forward instantly
14:10and landed a single, lightning-fast punch
14:12that sent Bianca crashing to the floor
14:14right in front of me.
14:15She landed on all fours,
14:17looking exactly like a dog.
14:19You made your own claim,
14:20so you will do as Ms. Marcheri ordered.
14:22Get down on that slab of meat
14:24and crawl across the floor,
14:25yelping like a dog.
14:26The man carried over a plate of raw beef,
14:28Bianca, the second she laid eyes on it.
14:31Dante, save me!
14:32I would rather die than crawl on the floor
14:34gnawing raw meat with no shred of dignity left!
14:36Vera's crew clashed with Dante's guards.
14:38Within moments, every single one of Dante's men
14:41lay beaten on the ground.
14:45Bianca's face turned ashen once more,
14:48beads of sweat rolling down her forehead
14:49like tiny pebbles.
14:50I showed you basic courtesy, Vera,
14:52and you take advantage of my kindness.
14:54Do you truly believe I cannot erase you
14:57from this city overnight?
14:59Do not provoke me over Nina.
15:01That would be the most foolish mistake
15:03you could ever make.
15:04Vera paid no heed to his threats whatsoever.
15:06She looked to me with unwavering respect.
15:08I follow whatever Ms. Marcheri commands.
15:10So it is acceptable for all of you to humiliate me,
15:13yet I am not allowed to seek retribution?
15:16Send for a lawyer right away
15:17and drop divorce papers.
15:21You bitch!
15:22If anyone files for divorce,
15:24it will be me!
15:26What grounds do you possibly have to sue me?
15:30You will understand my legal standards
15:32once we sign those documents.
15:34Besides that,
15:35your father will likely arrive shortly
15:37to beat you half to death.
15:39Shut your mouth!
15:41Who do you think you are to claim
15:43my father would lay a hand on me
15:44for your sake?
15:46I see through your act now.
15:47You are simply putting on a show.
15:50I do not know how you convinced Vera to back you,
15:52but her support will only last this one night,
15:54not forever.
15:55Midway through our argument,
15:56a lawyer arrived
15:57carrying the official divorce paperwork.
15:59I signed my name
16:00and passed the papers over to Dante.
16:02He put his signature down
16:03without a single moment of hesitation.
16:08Now that we are officially divorced,
16:10I have no reason to keep building up
16:11the Riccio Empire for you.
16:13I only need to leak a few pieces of information,
16:15and within 30 minutes,
16:16everything you have will collapse
16:18and be destroyed completely.
16:21Dante and Bianca froze,
16:23then burst into shrill laughter.
16:25Nina,
16:26haven't you put on this act long enough?
16:28You spouted that line earlier
16:30just to stall for time.
16:31Now that someone's covered your bill,
16:33you're repeating it again?
16:34You think second-ranked Vera
16:36can take Dante down?
16:37Do you know why the Castellano family
16:39only holds second place?
16:41Because Dante has always stood above them.
16:43After our divorce papers were signed,
16:45Dante stared at me
16:46with undisguised disgust in his eyes.
16:49Nina, I'll spare you a scrap of dignity
16:51for old time's sake.
16:52Since your friend paid the tab,
16:54get down on your knees
16:55and coho to Bianca
16:56and we'll call this whole thing off.
16:57If you refuse,
16:59you will never step foot out of this casino.
17:02Bianca never dropped to the floor
17:04to bite that raw meat
17:05and you expect me to kneel before her?
17:06Have you lost your mind?
17:11Why don't you give your father a call
17:13and ask him whether you've already started
17:15losing control of your family's operations?
17:17Dante stared hard at me.
17:19He saw I was not joking
17:20and panic flickered across his face.
17:23He reached for his phone to dial his father,
17:25only for Vito Ricci to storm through the door
17:27in nothing but sleepwear.
17:28You worthless degenerate!
17:31How did I raise a son like you?
17:33Vito Ricci cursed his son,
17:35then spun around and bowed deeply to me in apology.
17:38Daughter-in-law,
17:39you hid your true identity all this time.
17:41You are Isabella Marchetti,
17:43the only daughter of the most feared crime boss in the world.
17:48It had been years since anyone had called me that name.
17:51My full name was Isabella Marchetti,
17:53not Nina Shah.
17:54Years ago,
17:55I'd hidden my real identity
17:56to learn the ins and outs of this city
17:58and the people who ran it.
18:00That was when I met Dante.
18:01I never imagined Dante would set his sights on me.
18:04He chased me relentlessly with every trick he knew,
18:07and in the end,
18:08I agreed to marry him.
18:10I willingly poured everything I had
18:12into lifting him up from behind the scenes,
18:14but I never could have guessed that once he became
18:16the most powerful mafia boss in New York,
18:18he would turn his back on everything we shared.
18:21Dante's eyes blew wide as he stared at his father.
18:23He grabbed my arm roughly.
18:25Isabella Marchetti?
18:26Your real name is Isabella Marchetti?
18:28The elusive only heiress of the Marchetti family?
18:31I wrenched my arm free from his grip,
18:33without a shred of warmth.
18:34Vera held out a tissue for me to wipe myself off.
18:37Dante's face drained of all color.
18:39If he had any memory left at all,
18:40he would recall that barely an hour earlier,
18:43he'd wiped his own hand on a tissue,
18:45after touching me like I was something filthy.
18:47I said nothing in reply.
18:49He turned to his father.
18:50Father, what is going on here?
18:52Bianca waited anxiously for Vito's answer.
18:54She had heard tales of the Marchetti heiress,
18:56though she had never laid eyes on her.
18:58If I really was that elusive boss's daughter,
19:01she was finished.
19:02Dante would be finished too.
19:03Vito shot his son of venomous glare,
19:05and ground out his words.
19:06This woman is the Isabella Marchetti everyone whispers about.
19:09You fool.
19:10You offended her over a cheap, petty girl.
19:14Father, that cannot be right.
19:16You are no daughter of mine.
19:18I never wanted a girl like you.
19:20Starting today,
19:21you and your mother
19:22will be cast out of the Ricci family for good.
19:24Pinch me someone.
19:25Am I dreaming, or is all this real?
19:27God almighty, every word of it is true.
19:30Nina is Isabella Marchetti.
19:32We mocked her,
19:33looked down on her.
19:35We are done for.
19:36We're all in terrible trouble.
19:37We sided with Dante and that wretched girl.
19:39Some of us even reached out
19:40to tear Isabella Marchetti's dress.
19:42Voices all around me trembled with terror.
19:45Every single person begged silently
19:47that I would overlook their part
19:48in tonight's humiliation.
19:50I had warned them earlier.
19:51Anyone who dared laugh at me
19:52would end up the joke themselves.
19:55Vito clearly thought his anger
19:56had not gone far enough.
19:58He drove his boot hard into Bianca's torso,
20:00sending her sprawling at my feet.
20:02What made you think
20:03you could stand against Ms. Marchella?
20:05You urged these older men
20:06to tear her clothes off.
20:08You demanded she crawl out
20:10biting raw meat.
20:11How many lives do you think
20:12you have left to waste?
20:13Bianca dropped to her knees
20:15on the floor once more,
20:16just like a dog.
20:17This time,
20:18there was no trace of arrogance
20:19left in her.
20:20She shot Dante a desperate,
20:21pleading look,
20:22begging for help,
20:23but Dante never spared her
20:24a single glance.
20:25His gaze remained fixed
20:27entirely on me.
20:30Vito glowered at Bianca,
20:32his eyes blown wide
20:33with unbridled rage.
20:34Everything the Ricci family
20:36owns today
20:36was handed to us
20:38by Mrs. Marchella.
20:40I did not know the truth at first.
20:42Then I visited her father's territory
20:44and saw her seated at the head table
20:46with all the top bosses,
20:48calling all the shots
20:49and commanding every man
20:51in the room.
20:52That was when I realized
20:53my daughter-in-law
20:54was extraordinary beyond measure.
20:56She planned to tell you
20:56everything tonight.
20:58She meant to bring you
20:59to meet her father,
21:00the Don,
21:00and name you
21:01his official heir
21:02to the Marchetti Empire.
21:03And you threw all of that away
21:04for a worthless girl!
21:06Dante's jaw hung open,
21:07his whole body trembling
21:09uncontrollably.
21:09He stared at me,
21:10unable to utter a single word.
21:12Reality crashed down hard on him,
21:14leaving him speechless.
21:15Vito glanced down
21:16at his buzzing phone,
21:17then turned back to me.
21:18Isabella,
21:19call your men off.
21:20The Ricci family's power
21:22is crumbling by the minute.
21:23If this keeps up,
21:24we will be destroyed entirely.
21:26I smoothed the creases
21:27from my ruined dress.
21:28I told you once before,
21:30I lifted the Ricci family
21:32to the heights of power,
21:33and I can drag them
21:34straight back down to ruin.
21:35Vito lashed out
21:36and slapped Dante hard
21:37across the face.
21:38What are you still standing there for?
21:39Drop to your knees
21:40and submit to Mrs. Marchetti,
21:42or do you wish to die here tonight?
21:44He knew who he needed
21:45to throw under the bus
21:46to salvage any chance
21:47he might have,
21:48and he drove his fist
21:49straight into Bianca's face.
21:53This is all your fault.
21:54You poisoned our marriage
21:55against each other.
21:57Take her away.
21:59Make her crawl out
22:00biting that raw meat
22:01as she promised.
22:04Dante's men surged forward
22:05and pinned Bianca
22:06firmly to the ground.
22:07She burst into messy,
22:08terrified sobs,
22:09tears streaming down her cheeks.
22:11Dante, tell them to let me go.
22:12I never wanted any of this.
22:14You swore you would avenge me
22:16of your own free will.
22:17Shut your mouth.
22:18You manipulated me
22:19into all of this,
22:20and now you dare deny it?
22:22Nice trick,
22:23shifting all the blame, Dante.
22:25Don't you think punishing me
22:26will make Isabella spare you
22:27or the entire Ricci clan?
22:29You can dream.
22:30None of you will escape
22:32a brutal end.
22:33Bianca spoke the truth.
22:34Even if she suffered
22:35her punishment,
22:36I would never show mercy
22:37to the Ricci family.
22:38Yet neither father nor son
22:40could grasp that simple fact.
22:41Dante spoke again,
22:43his voice still thick
22:44with arrogant stubbornness.
22:45She will not follow through
22:46with any of this.
22:47My wife is only acting out
22:48on a moment's anger.
22:49She loves me.
22:50Otherwise,
22:51she would never hide her identity
22:52and stay married to me
22:53for five years.
22:53That proves her affection for me.
22:55Once she cools down,
22:56I will beg for her forgiveness
22:58and we will reconcile.
23:00Why are you all standing aliled?
23:03If she refuses to crawl,
23:04beat her senseless.
23:06Keep hitting her
23:06until that bitch complies.
23:08At his command,
23:09the men stepped forward
23:10and began beating Bianca
23:11without mercy.
23:12They targeted her joints
23:13and bones to cripple her
23:15so she could not stand upright.
23:16Bianca screamed over and over
23:18in agony.
23:19Everyone in the room
23:20shrank back,
23:20terrified of drawing my wrath.
23:22I will crawl out!
23:24I will bite the meat
23:25and crawl like a dog!
23:27They will stop beating me!
23:28They will break my legs
23:30if this continues!
23:31To save her own limbs
23:32from permanent injury,
23:33Bianca finally submitted
23:34to her vow.
23:36She forced herself
23:38to sink her teeth
23:38into the slab of raw meat,
23:40then crawled across the floor,
23:41yelping like a dog
23:42for all the room to see.
23:43Once Bianca's punishment
23:44was finished,
23:45I turned to leave.
23:46Dante caught hold of my arm
23:47the second Isami
23:48heading through the door.
23:50I've punished Bianca for you.
23:52I will never bring another woman
23:53to shame you again.
23:55Come home with me.
23:57I looked at him
23:58with a faint, cold...
23:59Mr. Ricci,
24:00have you lost all sense of reason?
24:01Try to keep a shred
24:02of self-respect.
24:04Do not call every woman
24:05you lay eyes of your wife.
24:07We signed the divorce papers,
24:08have you forgotten?
24:09I pulled my arm free
24:10from his grasp
24:11just as Luca Ferraro,
24:12my childhood friend,
24:14stepped through the entrance.
24:15Isabella,
24:16did you refuse
24:16the arranged marriage
24:17with me all those years ago
24:18because of him?
24:19Come on.
24:20Your taste is dreadful.
24:21He is not half as handsome
24:23or manly as I am.
24:24And most importantly,
24:25I have remained loyal to you
24:26for ten full years.
24:28What about him?
24:28He's straight after only five.
24:30A collective gasp
24:31swept through the crowd
24:32at Luca's arrival.
24:33None of them had ever seen
24:34my true identity laid bare.
24:36Yet every man recognized
24:38Luca Ferraro,
24:39one of the most feared names
24:40in the mafia world.
24:42Dante cut an imposing figure
24:43with handsome features,
24:44but beside Luca,
24:46he looked utterly insignificant.
24:47Standing side by side,
24:49Luca outmatched him
24:50in every way.
24:51With Luca present,
24:52Dante finally sensed true danger
24:54and descended into blind panic.
24:56We were already legally divorced,
24:58and the harm he had inflicted
24:59stretched far beyond
25:00simple infidelity.
25:02Winning me back
25:02was now an impossible dream.
25:04Isabella,
25:05who is this man?
25:06Who am I?
25:07I am her fiancé.
25:08Obviously.
25:09You two are divorced.
25:10She will never marry anyone
25:11besides me
25:12for the rest of her life.
25:13That was simply Luca,
25:14blunt and unapologetically honest
25:16about everything he felt.
25:20Let us take our leave.
25:23Isabella,
25:24what will become
25:24of the Ricci family?
25:26What about me?
25:28Are you leaving me for good?
25:30I paused in my tracks,
25:31yet I never turned my head
25:33to look back at him.
25:34I told you once already,
25:35we are divorced.
25:36Your fate is none of my concern.
25:38Dante crumpled completely,
25:40hot tears streaming down his face.
25:42If I had never humiliated you
25:44over Bianca,
25:45if I had ordered my men
25:46to let you walk free
25:46halfway through,
25:47would you have forgiven me?
25:49If I were not Isabella Marchetti,
25:51would you have realized
25:53your wrongdoing?
25:54Would you have punished Bianca
25:56for what she did?
25:58The question caught in his throat.
26:00He fell silent
26:01for a long stretch of time,
26:02unable to form a single reply.
26:04I stepped out of the casino
26:05alongside Luca,
26:06weaving him stranded behind.
26:08Life offered no second chances
26:10for what ifs.
26:11Wrong was wrong.
26:12There was no going back.
26:13Three days after
26:14the chaotic spectacle
26:15at the Ruby Casino,
26:17the entire underground world
26:18of New York
26:19shifted on its axis.
26:20I sat inside
26:21the core conference room
26:22of the Marchetti family headquarters
26:23on a cold leather armchair,
26:25the overhead crystal chandelier
26:26casting icy light
26:28over the cold resolve
26:29in my eyes.
26:30My father slid
26:30the obsidian signet ring
26:32carved with the family hawk crest
26:34across the table toward me,
26:36a symbol revered
26:37and feared by mafia clans
26:38across all of Europe.
26:39Isabella,
26:41from this day forward,
26:42all territories and operations
26:44belonging to the Marchetti family
26:45fall under your sole command.
26:47Remember this always.
26:49Save your kindness
26:50for those who earn it
26:51and reserve unflinching ruthlessness
26:53for anyone who betrays you.
26:54I slipped the ring
26:55onto my finger,
26:56brushing my thumb
26:57over its cold metal surface,
26:59then dialed Vera's number.
27:00Seize every business
27:01tied to the Riki family.
27:02Take over their casinos,
27:04smuggling routes
27:05and protection rackets
27:06and fold all of them
27:07under Marchetti control.
27:10Leave no one
27:11who laughed at me
27:12or laid hands on me
27:13in that casino alone.
27:14Within 24 hours
27:15of my order,
27:16scattered gunshots
27:17echoed across New York streets.
27:19The criminal empire
27:20Dante had spent
27:20five years building
27:21crumbled to dust.
27:23The three casinos
27:24under his ownership
27:25were sealed shut,
27:26all smuggling corridors severed,
27:28and his loyal enforcers
27:29either switched their allegiance
27:30to my family
27:31or were locked away
27:33behind bars.
27:34The men who once
27:34crowded around him
27:35to flatter and curry favor
27:36now crossed the street
27:38to avoid his gaze entirely.
27:39I stood at the floor-to-ceiling
27:41window of my office,
27:42watching workmen
27:42tear down the giant
27:43Riki family sign
27:44from the building downstairs,
27:46a faint, detached smile
27:47tugging at my mouth.
27:48I had given him
27:49every chance
27:50to cherish my love
27:51and loyalty.
27:52He had smashed
27:52every bit of it
27:53to pieces
27:54with his own hands.
27:55Luca pushed
27:56the office door open
27:57and handed me
27:57a glass of red wine.
27:58The Ferrari family
27:59stands fully behind me.
28:01Any man who dares
28:03challenge your rule
28:04will answer to me.
28:05Thank you, Luca.
28:06There is no need
28:07for thanks between us.
28:08New York's neon skyline
28:10glittered outside the window
28:11just as it always had,
28:13yet the hand
28:13pulling the strings
28:14behind the city's
28:15dark dealings
28:16had changed forever.
28:17I was Isabella Marchetti now,
28:19no longer any man's wife,
28:21only ruler of my own fate.
28:23Seven days after
28:24the complete collapse
28:25of the Riki family,
28:26Dante sank
28:26to the lowest depths
28:28of despair in New York.
28:29The once-untouchable
28:30mafia boss
28:31huddled inside
28:32a rotting apartment
28:33in the slums,
28:34his custom-tailored suit
28:35stained with grime,
28:36fresh bruises
28:37streaked across his face.
28:39His father Vito
28:39had been locked away
28:40in federal prison
28:41for the family's
28:42countless criminal charges,
28:43and every day
28:44he cursed his son's idiocy
28:46until his final breath.
28:47Dante tried repeatedly
28:48to beg for an audience
28:49with me,
28:50yet he could not even
28:51draw near the iron gates
28:52of the Marchetti estate.
28:55The guards posted
28:56at the gate
28:56only waved him away
28:58with cold disdain.
28:59Get out of here.
29:01Our lady has no wish
29:03to see an ungrateful
29:04traitor like you.
29:05He sold every valuable
29:06possession he owned,
29:07yet he could not
29:08scrape together enough money
29:09for a single full meal.
29:11Bianca,
29:11the girl he had spoiled
29:13above all else,
29:14had vanished
29:15without a trace
29:15long ago.
29:16Bianca's fate
29:17was far worse than his.
29:18The video of her crawling
29:20across the casino floor
29:21biting raw meat
29:22and yelping like a dog
29:23had circulated
29:24through every corner
29:25of the criminal underworld.
29:26Cast out by the Ricci family,
29:28with no one willing
29:29to shelter her,
29:30the casino's loan sharks
29:31tracked her down
29:31and sold her
29:32to the lowest tier dive bar,
29:34where she endured
29:34endless torment
29:35every single day.
29:36All traces
29:37of her spoiled arrogance
29:38vanished entirely.
29:39The mouth
29:40that once called me
29:41a worthless whore
29:42now only begged
29:43for mercy
29:44in broken,
29:44trembling whispers.
29:46Every person
29:47who had mocked me,
29:48torn at my dress,
29:49or waited eagerly
29:49to watch my humiliation,
29:51suffered brutal consequences
29:52as well.
29:53The wealthy socialite
29:54who jeered at me
29:55lost her entire family business
29:56to my financial pressure
29:58and jumped to her death
29:59from a high-rise building.
30:00The overweight man
30:01who reached out
30:02to grope me
30:02had both his hands broken
30:04and was left begging
30:05for change on street corners.
30:07Every gangster
30:07who pulled out a phone
30:08to record my shame
30:09was rounded up
30:10and left dead
30:11in back alleys.
30:13Everyone in New York
30:13learned a single lesson
30:14that night.
30:15Cross Isabella Marchetti
30:16and no amount of influence
30:18will save you.
30:19Dante finally understood
30:20that every scrap of power
30:21and wealth he possessed
30:22had never been earned
30:23by his own labor.
30:24I had handed all of it
30:25to him freely.
30:26I could lift him
30:27to the top of the world
30:28and I could hurl him
30:29straight into the abyss.
30:30He knelt outside
30:31the iron gates of my estate
30:32through pouring rain,
30:33screaming over and over
30:34through his tears.
30:35I stood at my bedroom window
30:36watching him,
30:37not bothering to lift
30:38my eyes even once.
30:39Every wrongdoing
30:40carried a price.
30:41Begging for forgiveness
30:42would never erase
30:43what he had done.
30:45Three months later,
30:46order settled firmly
30:47over New York's
30:48underground world.
30:49The Marchetti family
30:50absorbed every seized
30:51criminal operation
30:52and I enforced strict,
30:53unyielding reforms
30:54across all territories,
30:56stamping out cruel,
30:57outdated practices
30:58while striking fear
30:59into the heart of anyone
31:00who harbored malicious intent.
31:02Vera became my most
31:03trusted right hand
31:04and Luca stayed faithfully
31:05by my side at all times.
31:06The alliance between the
31:08Ferraro and Marchetti
31:09clans grew unshakable,
31:11unmatched by any rival family.
31:13I occasionally caught wind
31:14of Dante's pitiful existence.
31:16He devolved into a homeless
31:17vagrant surviving on scraps
31:19from trash cans.
31:20The sharp, confident
31:21mafia boss everyone
31:22once feared
31:23now wandered the streets
31:24with clouded, hollow eyes.
31:27He flinched and trembled
31:28at the sight of any man
31:29in a tailored suit,
31:30driven fully insane
31:31by regret.
31:32Witnesses said he mumbled
31:33the same phrase on a loop
31:35every single day.
31:36I should never have hurt Nina.
31:37Yet no soul offered him
31:39an ounce of sympathy.
31:40Bianca wasted away
31:41under the constant abuse
31:42of her captors
31:43and died alone
31:44in a filthy alleyway.
31:45No one claimed her body,
31:46discarded like a worthless insect.
31:48Every person who took part
31:49in shaming me that night
31:50either lost their
31:51entire family fortune,
31:53fled the country as a fugitive,
31:54or met a violent end.
31:55Not a single one
31:56escaped retribution.
31:57That afternoon,
31:58I walked through the gardens
31:59of the Marchetti estate
32:00with Luca at my side.
32:01My father sat on a stone bench
32:02amid the flowers
32:03and nodded at me
32:04with clear pride.
32:05You handled it masterfully,
32:06better than I ever imagined.
32:08I smiled and glanced
32:09toward Luca beside me.
32:11Betrayal had hardened
32:12my heart against blind love.
32:14Yet Luca's ten years
32:15of steady loyalty
32:16and quiet tenderness
32:17slowly melted the ice
32:18around my soul.
32:20I'll safeguard this family,
32:21father,
32:21and I'll live true to myself.
32:24I had lost a love
32:25built on ingratitude
32:26and betrayal.
32:27Yet I reclaimed
32:27my true identity,
32:28seized unrivaled power,
32:30and gained a companion
32:31who loved me
32:31without condition.
32:32Dante,
32:33Bianca,
32:33and every person
32:34who joined in mocking me
32:36became nothing more
32:36than dust swept away
32:37by the wind,
32:38gone from my life forever.
32:40I was Isabella Marchetti,
32:41standing unchallenged
32:42at the peak of power.
32:43No one will ever harm me again.
32:46No one will ever betray me.
32:48I'll shine brighter
32:49than they ever imagined.
