01:04I was ten back then. I saw right away. The guy was jealous of Callum's success, trying to throw him
01:09off right before exams.
01:10I had him kidnapped and sold to a casino boss infamous for playing with young men. Word got out he
01:16couldn't leave his room for months afterward. His future was completely ruined. I thought I'd bend over backward for this
01:24family.
01:24But my parents only grew more and more troubled.
01:28Celestine, what are we going to do with you? I never understood what was wrong with the way I handled
01:33things. This is what they told me. Serena's negotiating a marriage match. If word gets out she has a vengeful
01:38little sister, no one will dare wed her. Callum's just taken over part of the family business. He needs to
01:43win people over. Rivals will weaponize his ruthless sister against him if anyone finds out.
01:47They begged me. They begged me. For my brother and sister's futures, could I at least pretend to be decent?
01:53My families always treated me well. Naturally, I was willing to return the favor.
02:00So I simply adjusted my demeanor and became the perfect, obedient good girl.
02:05I committed to the persona so thoroughly, I caught the eye of the Vitorli mafia heir.
02:10Marry me, or I'll kill you all.
02:15Damano and his mistress are deeply in love.
02:19Sabine hadn't served as a maid for his rival family. I would have never gotten this wife's position.
02:26Yet Damano could never bear to see his beloved wronged.
02:29He looked high and low and finally settled on me.
02:32A wealthy iris with an impeccable public image.
02:35The perfect pusover.
02:36He intends to keep me as his legal, public-facing wife.
02:40My family knows exactly what I'm really like.
02:42They also know full well how ruthless the Vitaro family is.
02:46They would never send a ticking time bomb like me into that viper's nest to stir up trouble.
02:51So they beat around the Bosch and politely rejected the proposal.
02:55Damano is the kind of man who always gets whatever he wants.
02:59His greatest regret in life is not being able to marry the woman he loves.
03:03Now even the Lachans dare to turn me down?
03:08That still wasn't enough.
03:09The bastard even showed up at my house in person to intimidate me.
03:14He said,
03:15If Sabine were born into a family as privileged as yours, this spot would never have fallen to you.
03:21But she is the only true wife in my heart.
03:23Don't you dare cause her any trouble from now on.
03:26The moment my father caught the faint smur on my lips, his face drained of color.
03:30He dropped all pretense of shielding me and laid bare my true colors.
03:33Seleti has an extreme temperament.
03:34She is not fit for the Vitrae household.
03:36Too bad the bastard didn't believe him.
03:38He even asked my father right in front of me, Loftsme.
03:42Are you willing to sacrifice Callum and Serena's lives just to protect Selesti?
03:47After over a decade of putting on this act, I still couldn't protect them.
03:51So why keep pretending?
03:53The first rule of being a wrecked bat?
03:56Survive by knowing when to bide your time.
03:58I bowed to him right then and there, poised and calm.
04:01I agree to marry into the Vitari family.
04:03Please show mercy and spare my family.
04:06Demonsto, you better sleep with one eye open.
04:08Or I'll make you learn exactly what happens when you marry the wrong woman.
04:15On the day of my wedding to Damiano, Sabine rode a motorcycle straight into the church driveway.
04:20Are the Lockwood girls that desperate for marriage?
04:22Why do you insist on forcing your way between Damiano and me?
04:25She was speeding recklessly.
04:26If she'd hit me head on, I would have ended up in the hospital, if not dead.
04:29My maid, Greer, screamed.
04:31Protect Mrs. Vitale!
04:32The bodyguards immediately formed a circle around me.
04:35But one line from Demania stopped them cold.
04:37No one lays a hand on Sabine.
04:39If she gets so much as a scratch, I'll kill every last one of you.
04:42Not a single person dared to move.
04:45The second rule of a wrecked bot, never hesitate to strike when the moment is right.
04:49While everyone's eyes were fixed on Sabina, I raised the tiny gun hidden in my bridal bouquet,
04:54aimed at the motorcycle's front tire and pulled the trigger.
04:57A dull bang rang out, and the tire burst instantly.
05:00The motorcycle swerved out of control and flipped over, taking Sabana down with it.
05:05She crashed hard onto the pavement and was dragged a short distance by the bike's momentum.
05:09Damiano rushed over like he'd lost his mind.
05:11Sabine!
05:12Get a doctor!
05:13Now!
05:13I won't let anything happen to her!
05:15Amid the total chaos, I took one last look at her miserable state and spoke in a low,
05:19restrained tone.
05:20Could this be retaliation from your enemy?
05:22Be careful, Damiano.
05:23After all, who would suspect a delicate, helpless, perfect grind?
05:27Just as I expected.
05:29Damiano brushed me off coldly.
05:30You might be right.
05:31Thanks to Sabine for drawing the fire, I'm taking her to the doctor right away.
05:35We're scaling the rest of the wedding back.
05:36I replied at once, she saved us today.
05:39Once she's feeling better, I'll go thank her in person.
05:41Her health comes first.
05:43I understand completely.
05:44Bruised and battered, Sabine began sobbing in Damiano's arms.
05:48Damiano carried her to the car without a second delay.
05:51The guests immediately started whispering among themselves.
05:53We've all heard the vitalier spoils his mistress rotten, but now we've seen it firsthand.
05:57She's the one who tried to ruin the wedding and almost hit the bride, yet he's acting like she saved
06:01us.
06:01Everyone knows the youngest Lockhood daughter is quiet and well-mannered.
06:05That's why the Vitalis chose her as their wife.
06:08Abandoned on her wedding day?
06:10This marriage won't end well.
06:13Yeah.
06:14Everyone knows I, Selenstein, have always been quiet, poised, and unassuming.
06:19They could check that tire a hundred times.
06:22Not a single person would ever suspect me.
06:26The night of the wedding turned out exactly how I imagined.
06:31Demonio stayed the night with Sabine.
06:33The third rule of a wrecked Brit.
06:35Never put yourself through misery.
06:37I pulled off my veil and asked Greens to take off those unbearably heavy earrings.
06:41Greer frowned.
06:42Mrs. Vitari, aren't you going to wait for him?
06:45I let out a cold laugh.
06:46He won't come.
06:48She grew even more flustered.
06:49Your husband spends the wedding night with his mistress.
06:52How will you hold your standing in the Vitari household later on?
06:55Should I tell him you're feeling unwell and coax him over?
06:58Don't waste your energy on pointless things.
07:01I'm worn out today.
07:03All I want is to sleep.
07:05Greer never could resist me when I acted like this.
07:08Worry etched across her face.
07:09She helped me remove my makeup and change into my nightgown.
07:12I'll stand guard outside the door.
07:13If he comes, I can let you know right away.
07:15I knew she was rigidly obedient, and reasoning with her would get me nowhere.
07:18I merely told her to wrap up warm so she wouldn't catch a chill, then lay down to sleep.
07:22If DeMonto still shows up after this, I'll lose all respect for Sabrine.
07:26Though I'll admit, Sabrine definitely knows what she's doing in bed.
07:29I slept straight through till morning.
07:31Greer showed up with dark circles under her eyes, too scared to even meet my gaze.
07:35After all these years, I knew something was definitely off.
07:38I pressured her a little, and she spilled everything.
07:42Sabine?
07:43She's pregnant?
07:47Sabine found out last night she's over a month pregnant.
07:49DeMonto was shocked yet overjoyed.
07:52He nearly summoned every doctor he knew, terrified anything might go wrong with her or the baby.
07:56Amid his worry, he ordered a full investigation into who attacked her yesterday.
08:00DeMonto gets me completely.
08:02Sabine crashing the wedding was only right.
08:05Anyone who stood in her way and hurt her deserves to die.
08:08He really is my husband.
08:10Ruthless, just like me.
08:12But if he can trace anything from my own silenced pistol,
08:15then all these years I've been living for nothing.
08:19The fourth rule of a wrecked bit.
08:21Take others' path and leave them nowhere to go.
08:24I rubbed my eyes raw and puffy, then whispered a few instructions to Greer.
08:28With eyes that looked as if I'd cried all night, I headed for Sabine's door.
08:33Tomorrow is Sabine all right?
08:35I heard she's pregnant.
08:36Is the baby okay?
08:37The servants by the door kept their heads down, ignoring me.
08:41Perfect.
08:42It made it easier to play the victim.
08:45I don't mean to intrude.
08:46It's just that today was supposed to be the day I formally meet the family elders as your wife.
08:50The wedding ended abruptly yesterday, and you never came back to our room.
08:53I don't dare go to them alone today.
08:55DeMonto pulled open the door, his face dark.
08:57Word goes around you're such an easy wife to handle.
09:00Why make a scene on our first day of marriage?
09:03What?
09:04You sought me out this badly, desperate for me to bed you?
09:07The people outside glanced at me with contempt.
09:09I seethed inwardly.
09:11You bastard, enjoy it while you can.
09:14I'll make you pay soon enough.
09:17Sabine's irritable voice soon drifted out from inside the room.
09:20Will this ever end?
09:22Why are you crying out here so early in the morning?
09:25If I hadn't taken that blow for you yesterday, I would never have gotten hurt.
09:29Are all women like you talking of nothing but sleeping with men?
09:32Then my child and I could have died, yet all you care about is getting into my man's bed.
09:36Selich, do you have any conscience at all?
09:38I looked as though I could bear it no longer.
09:40Covering my face, I broke into tears and turned to leave.
09:43Right then I ran straight into Bianca, one of Marcella's people.
09:46Marcella being the godfather's wife.
09:50She comforted me a little, then fixed a cold gaze toward the inner room.
09:53Your mother says Sabine caused a scene on the wedding day and nearly sparked far worse trouble.
09:56She is very unhappy.
09:57Starting today, Sabine will rest quietly in her chambers.
10:00She is not allowed to step outside her room without permission.
10:02Demianno opened his mouth to speak.
10:05Bianca shot him a look.
10:06If you truly care for her, you ought to think ahead.
10:10Word of the Vicano family scandal these past two days has gotten out.
10:13Surely you can tell what's important here.
10:15Demanio swallowed the words on his tongue.
10:18Instead, he reached out and took my hand.
10:20I've acted thoughtlessly these past days.
10:22You've been wronged.
10:23I've heard you are always sensible.
10:25I trust you won't act like other women throwing tantrums out of jealousy?
10:28Of course I wouldn't.
10:30The fifth rule of a wrecked bit.
10:32Strike where it hurts most.
10:34Don't worry.
10:36We're in this together.
10:37I won't bring you trouble.
10:40Fat chance.
10:41I accompanied Demianno to meet his elders.
10:44As soon as we walked in, the old godfather threw his cup straight at Damiano.
10:50What the hell were you thinking?
10:54You married the Lockwood girl, yet you humiliated her on your wedding day.
10:58Is this how I taught you to behave?
11:00You've turned this household upside down over a fickle mistress.
11:03You've run the doctors nearly ragged.
11:05Do you even look like a worthy heir?
11:08Damiano could not get a single word out amid the scolding.
11:11I said he'd gone to Sabine last night because I was worried about the baby, and I'd urged him to
11:16go in case something happened.
11:17I spotted the flicker of satisfaction in Marcella's eyes and watched Democio's expression soften a little.
11:22So I leaned harder into the act, putting on the perfect show of being calm, proper, and utterly unperturbed.
11:26Once the old godfather's anger faded a little, Marcella tossed a stack of tabloid newspapers straight at Damiano.
11:32Even recklessness has its limits.
11:33If I hadn't quashed these stories first, outsiders would twist them even more.
11:36Would you still keep your place as heir?
11:38I don't care who you're fond of, but you bring in a woman who once served our rivals as a
11:41maid and flaunt this affair so openly.
11:43Do you want even more trouble?
11:45When you ambushed our rivals, you couldn't defeat them in an open fight.
11:47So you seduced that woman, tricked her into passing messages, and lured your enemies right into your line of fire.
11:52Do you think this is something to boast about?
11:54Now people are writing this whole story as gossip and spreading it everywhere.
11:57Are you afraid she'll forget how you used her?
11:59Or do you want the whole world to find out that Vitori heir has to rely on seduction to win
12:02his fights?
12:05I kept my gaze lowered, calm and composed.
12:08Oh, it seemed Marcella regarded me as one of her own now.
12:12But by the logic of people like us, the wicked ones, this felt far more like a test.
12:17I kept my gaze lowered.
12:19The Lockhuds have always maintained dignity, and their children are well-disciplined.
12:23Shorn, she shifted her tone.
12:25Celestian is famously quiet and symbol within high society.
12:28She never fights or schemes.
12:30Do you truly take her for an easy target?
12:32Her words clearly struck Demonio.
12:34He hung his head.
12:35I went too far.
12:37I knew it was time to show my loyalty.
12:39I spoke up at once.
12:40Mother, securing the rival territory without heavy losses is undoubtedly a victory.
12:45He is the heir.
12:46No method is off-limits when necessary.
12:47The ability to spare the family trouble is true skill.
12:50Besides, humans are not machines.
12:51Sabine did aid him, after all.
12:52It is only natural that he looks out for her.
12:54Hearing all this from you today, I finally understand what she did for him back then.
12:57In truth, I admire her.
12:58I hope I can take more burdens off Demonio's shoulders in the future.
13:04Demano, get Celisna pregnant as soon as possible to silence all the gossip.
13:10Truth be told, I felt a surge of revulsion.
13:12But you can't overturn the table unless you have the power to back it up.
13:16I'd treat it as nothing more than a bug bite.
13:18The sixth rule of a wrecked brat.
13:20Anyone aiming for great things cannot afford to dwell on such disgust.
13:23Us bastards have always known when to bow and when to stand tall.
13:27I never imagined someone could endure even better than me.
13:30That someone was Sabine.
13:32After the old godfather repreened them, Damiano had to get me pregnant quickly, if only to quiet outside chatter.
13:38So these days, he spent many nights in my chambers.
13:41Sabine, however, was used to having him all to herself.
13:45Now she carried his child, yet had to watch him rush to my room every single day.
13:50How could she possibly bear it?
13:52Then, while Demano and I were forcing ourselves through our marital obligations once again,
13:57someone from Sabine's quarters banged on the door, sobbing.
13:59Demano, you have to come quickly. Sabine's in terrible pain.
14:02She says she wants to get rid of the baby.
14:03Leave this place and never stand between you and Celestin again.
14:06That night, Demano was called away once more.
14:09The next day, the same thing happened.
14:11The third day, the fourth day, it never changed.
14:14Until one morning, I was hit with nauseous as soon as I got out of bed.
14:18The doctor came to examine me and confirmed I was pregnant.
14:22I told Greary to quietly pass all this information to the old godfather.
14:27That very night, Sabine summoned Demano over again by claiming she was gripped by stomach ache.
14:32But this time, shortly after he arrived, Marcella's people called him back at once.
14:37Luciana, a maid serving the old godfather, carried a dose of medicine and headed to Sabine's chambers.
14:43Sabine struggled desperately, yet no one came to her aid, even as blood pooled beneath her.
14:48In the end, she fought free of Luciana and stumbled straight towards me.
14:52Celestin, if Demano finds out you killed my child, he will never spare you.
14:57You're vicious to the core.
14:58You'll get what's coming to you.
15:01Do you think you can rest easy just because you've gotten rid of the baby I carry?
15:05Demano loves me.
15:06You will never beat me.
15:07Even if you bear a child someday, it will never measure up to mine.
15:10I seriously wondered if the pain had agged her wits.
15:13Why else would she spout such nonsense?
15:16Luciana rolled her eyes.
15:17You're still living in a dream.
15:19The old godfather says you're far too foolish to raise a child.
15:22From this day forward, you will never conceive again.
15:25Demano's voice suddenly echoed from outside the door.
15:27Never conceive again?
15:31Celestine, is this what you call quiet and sensible?
15:33How could you harm a child?
15:35Just because she kept pulling me away from you again and again, you sought revenge on her?
15:39The seventh rule of a wrecked bat.
15:40Choose your words according to the situation.
15:43I lifted my gaze to meet his eyes.
15:45If I told you I knew nothing of this, would you believe me?
15:48Tears immediately welled up and spilled down my cheeks.
15:52Green steadied me just in time.
15:54Celestine is pregnant.
15:55She cannot afford such strong emotions.
15:57She has always been quiet and never cared to compete.
16:00Now that she's finally with child, how could she possibly hurt another woman's baby?
16:04You're pregnant?
16:05A flicker of uncertainty crossed Demano's face.
16:07Yet the next second, his expression darkened again.
16:10You are soon to be a mother yourself.
16:12Why can't you find it in you to understand Sabine?
16:14She has no family.
16:15No way out.
16:16All she has left is the child in her womb.
16:19Can none of you find it in your hearts to tolerate her?
16:23Luciana helped me sit down before her tone turned serious.
16:27Before I came, your mother predicted you would suspect Celestine and want to punish me.
16:31So she told me to deliver a message personally.
16:33If you still believe I am at fault after hearing me out, I will submit to whatever punishment.
16:37But Celestine has only just conceived and knows nothing of this matter.
16:41You must not take your anger out on her.
16:43Demanio signaled the servants to escort the staggering Sabine to the private physician.
16:47Then spoke with a cold look.
16:49Speak.
16:50Luciana stood rigid and straight.
16:52Sabine has summoned doctors time and again these past weeks.
16:55Do you want outsiders thinking your body is failing?
16:57That our air will always be at risk?
16:58Our rivals have been watching you closely for years.
17:00At the first sign of weakness, they will seize any chance to stir up trouble.
17:03If you continue letting Sabine create such chaos, the council will write you off as unfit to lead.
17:07All the plans the old godfather has laid over the years will go to waste.
17:09Demanio sank to his knees and buried his head in his hand.
17:12Torment etched across his features.
17:13But it was my first child with Sabana.
17:15The baby I'd waited so long for.
17:16How dare you take it away without asking me!
17:19Mother only ever talks about the family and her plans.
17:23Has she once stopped to ask what I truly want?
17:25It was her grandson too!
17:27How could she bring herself to do such a thing?
17:32Luciana grew anxious.
17:33Everything your mother did, she did for you.
17:35Demanio's eyes turned bloodshot.
17:38Even if the child could not stay, why did she make sure Sabine will never conceive again?
17:42Sabine betrayed the employer she served for more than a decade for my sex!
17:45She lost everything.
17:46All she has left is me.
17:47She cares for me and loves me more than anyone.
17:49Why strip away her last dread of hope?
17:51While Sabine will once thought we understood each other not long ago, it is nothing short
17:53of a disgrace in the life of a bastard like me.
17:56Between him and Sabine lie hundreds of lives belonging to the rival family.
18:00Blinded by love, Sabine lets him lead her along for now.
18:02But once that love fades, all that remains is the truth.
18:05She handed the people who raised he over to their deaths.
18:08When that day comes, what guarantee does Demanio have that she will not grow to hate him?
18:11Marcella has held power within the Vittore family for many years.
18:15She would never allow such an unstable woman to bear a child who could threaten the succession.
18:19Luciana reasoned with him at great length.
18:21Yet the moment she stepped out, Demanio headed straight for Sabine's chambers.
18:26It was plain to see.
18:28He had not listened to a single word she said.
18:33To keep Sabine happy, Demanio spent nearly every day galibaring around with her lately.
18:38One day he took her to North Bay to see the ocean.
18:40Even members of the council began to grow dissatisfied,
18:43saying he was consumed by a woman and neglecting family business.
18:47Meanwhile, I sent word back to the Lockwood family through Greedy.
18:51Spare no expense to blow the story wide open,
18:54how Demanio lost his head over a mistress.
18:57Make sure everyone hears about it.
18:59The Vitale family has countless enemies.
19:02Those people would stir up trouble even without a shred of evidence.
19:05Now they'd been handed perfect ammunition.
19:07Before long, whispers questioning whether Demanio was fit to inherit the Vitora legacy
19:14reached the Old Godfather's ears one after another.
19:17The Old Godfather said nothing.
19:20But Marcella could no longer sit idle.
19:23She summoned both Damianio and me to the estate herself.
19:28The choice is yours.
19:29Your family.
19:31Or Sabine.
19:33Demanio's eyes turned red.
19:37Do you want me to kill her with my own hands?
19:40Marcella flew into a rage and struck him across the face.
19:45Fool.
19:46I'm telling you to distance yourself from her for now,
19:49keep her confined,
19:49and stop her from stirring up more trouble.
19:53When the time comes,
19:55she left the rest unspoken,
19:57yet everyone present understood.
20:01Once he firmly secured his position,
20:06it would take nothing more than a word for him to dole on whoever he pleased.
20:10Demanio pressed his lips together.
20:12But I've already wronged her terribly.
20:15You once said a woman's heart is fragile.
20:17One wound is more than enough.
20:19I'm afraid once I finally claim that position,
20:22I'll look around and find not a single sincere soul beside me.
20:25I ground my teeth,
20:27seething inwardly.
20:28You bastard,
20:29what nonsense are you spouting?
20:31I'm still alive and well.
20:33Who are you cursing?
20:34Still,
20:35I needed to maintain my image as the good girl in front of them.
20:38At the very least,
20:40I could not afford to turn on them now.
20:43I immediately wore my softest,
20:46most posed smile.
20:48Sabine is, after all,
20:49the one he holds dear.
20:51I don't wish to see him suffer so deeply.
20:54Why not let me help rein them in alongside you?
20:57Give them one more chance.
20:59Guilt,
20:59and even gratitude,
21:00flickered across Damianico's eyes at once.
21:04Celestine,
21:04you truly are everything people say you are.
21:07When I officially take control of the family,
21:09I will not forget your generosity today.
21:11Unfortunately,
21:12that small measure of freedom I'd fought to secure for Sabina
21:15was turned against me the moment we returned.
21:17Shortly after Damino and I arrived back,
21:20she pressed a gun to her own throat.
21:22I know my station is low.
21:24Your father and mother will never take to me.
21:27But I will speak my truth
21:28for as long as I draw breath.
21:31Even if I die today,
21:32I will expose Celestine's true colors.
21:36Damano closed his eyes,
21:37his voice heavy with exhaustion.
21:39Will you ever stop this?
21:41Mother was this close to locking you away permanently.
21:43If Selene hadn't pleaded on your behalf,
21:45you wouldn't stand here slandering her now.
21:47She never competes or schemes,
21:49and she's carrying my child.
21:51Can you not cease this madness?
21:52Sabine trembled all over with fury.
21:54Fine, fine, fine.
21:56So everything I've endured is just madness to you?
22:00Haven't you always said your parents hate me?
22:02Then let me show you exactly how I ended up in this predicament.
22:05She raised her hand and fired twice,
22:08and a flustered man hurried inside.
22:10It was Marcus.
22:12Sabine stared physically at me.
22:15Celestine,
22:16you recognize this man, don't you?
22:18You discovered he was drowning in gambling debts
22:20and desperate for cash,
22:22bribed him,
22:23and ordered him to cover up the truth
22:25about the wedding day crash.
22:26What have you to say for yourself?
22:28Damano whirled toward me,
22:30his expression dark and stormy.
22:31Because of all this,
22:33I endured father's reprimandions,
22:35faced doubts from the council,
22:36and nearly lost my claim to the succession.
22:38Now you tell me you were behind it all?
22:41You are my lawful wife,
22:43and you bear my child.
22:44What more could you possibly want?
22:46We were supposed to be in this together.
22:48I truly cannot fathom why you would do such a thing.
22:51I truly had not anticipated this.
22:54Sabine had dug all the way to Marcus.
22:56She was far more than the reckless girl I'd taken her for.
22:59I fell silent for a moment.
23:02Sabine let out a cold laugh.
23:04You ask why she did it?
23:06What other reason could there be?
23:08That quiet, sensible act of hers
23:10has always been nothing but a performance.
23:13Marcus's conscience nodded at him,
23:15and once he told me the truth,
23:16everything began to make sense.
23:20Everything shifted the moment she married you.
23:23She drew a breath and went on.
23:25The person who fired that shot on the wedding day
23:27was no rival hitman.
23:29It was Celestian herself.
23:32Demano's gaze darkened little by little.
23:34Those tabloid gossip pieces the old godfather suppressed?
23:37She hired people to spread them, too.
23:40Her eyes glistened with tears as she spoke.
23:44And then there is my baby.
23:46Demano shut his eyes.
23:49Luciana personally delivered that medicine.
23:51She had no part in it.
23:54Sabine let out a bitter laugh,
23:55as if she'd heard a joke.
23:57You still trust her?
23:59Even now?
24:01It's true, the old godfather ordered the medicine.
24:04But if someone hadn't been feeding constant updates
24:06about me to your parents,
24:07would they have acted so swiftly?
24:09I merely summoned the doctor a few extra times.
24:12How was it such a coincidence
24:13that the whole family learned of it?
24:15She stepped forward and pointed straight at me.
24:17Because she bribed someone within the household!
24:21Demano, Celestin is deeply calculating,
24:24a brilliant actress, and ruthlessly cunning.
24:26If she hadn't meddled behind the scenes,
24:28we would never have reached this point.
24:30As if fearing she hadn't said enough,
24:32she tossed out another accusation.
24:34And what about the things her father and brother
24:37have been doing lately?
24:38Have you stopped to wonder?
24:41They're building momentum for your rivals.
24:44I suspect the Lockhots were never on your side
24:46from the very start.
24:47She married you to avenge the way you threatened her family.
24:51Demano's face turned gorsely.
24:53He even forgot I was pregnant.
24:55He raised his hand and struck me hard.
24:58Bitch!
24:59How dare you scheme against me and Sabine?
25:04Let's go.
25:05You're coming back with me now.
25:07I want Mother to see for herself
25:09who's been stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
25:11I could taste blood in my mouth.
25:13Alarm bells blared inside my head.
25:15I had been sheltered too well by the Lockhots after all.
25:18And far too arrogant.
25:21I'd written Sabine off as nothing more than a girl
25:23led blindly by a man.
25:25Yet in a moment of carelessness,
25:27I'd handed her so many clues and weaknesses.
25:30If I cannot survive this trial,
25:32it will not only be my ruin.
25:34My parents, my brother, and my sister
25:37will all be dragged down because of me.
25:42My chest tightened.
25:46So when I faced Marcella,
25:48I smoothed my clothes instinctively to steady myself,
25:51then brushed the pistol hidden inside my overcoat.
25:54Marcella looked exasperated.
25:57Why are you back again?
26:01And you brought the troublemaker along too?
26:05Can none of you let me have a moment's peace?
26:07Sabine paid no heed to the disdain in her tone.
26:10She laid out every scrap of evidence she'd uncovered,
26:12word for word.
26:13Demonio stood to one side,
26:15his face dark enough to kill.
26:16Celestine means us harm.
26:17She has to die.
26:18It was at that moment I realized
26:20Damiano was fully capable of projecting
26:22the imposing aura of an heir.
26:25He simply chose to act foolish most days.
26:27Marcella glanced at me.
26:29Celesta, do you admit to this?
26:31My public image had always been quiet.
26:34If I flew into a shouting match with Sabine now,
26:36I might well turn the tide in my favor.
26:40But my mask of the good girl would be shattered forever.
26:43So I kept playing the victim,
26:45tears spilling down my cheeks.
26:46I don't know where Sabine found this man.
26:49Yet she hers these accusations at me
26:51and I have no way to defend myself.
26:53I only beg you and Damiano to trust me just once.
26:56Sabine curled her lip in disgust.
26:59The witness is right here.
27:01How long will you keep pretending?
27:02For the sake of the child you carry,
27:04I will grant you a dignified death
27:06once you give birth.
27:09For now, you would do well to behave.
27:12My hope rested solely on Marcella.
27:15I don't understand why they would conspire to ruin me,
27:17but I beg you to grant me one last chance.
27:20Let me ask him myself what wrong I have done
27:22to deserve this plot against me,
27:23cooked up by him and Sabine.
27:25Sabine objected at once.
27:27We cannot trust her not to pull some trick.
27:29I held my palms open.
27:31I will question him right here,
27:33under your and Mother's eyes.
27:34What could I possibly do?
27:37Presumably recalling how consistently proper I'd been,
27:41Marcella waved her hand and gave her consent.
27:44I would not stoop to screaming like a shrew.
27:46I merely kept dabbing at my tears,
27:49subtly revealing the diamond bracelet on my wrist.
27:52I have never wronged you.
27:54Why would you betray me?
27:56Were you forced into this?
27:58Do not be afraid.
27:59If you tell the truth,
28:00I will not harm you.
28:02Just those ordinary few sentences.
28:04And Marcus,
28:05who had spoken with such conviction before Damiaco,
28:08suddenly paled.
28:09He dropped to his knees with a thud.
28:12I lost my head.
28:13I was bribed with a large sum of money
28:15and lied through my teeth.
28:16Sabine completely lost her composure.
28:19That is not what you said a moment ago.
28:21She threatened and bribed you to work for her.
28:24What lies has she filled your head with just now?
28:26Mother and Damano are both here.
28:28What are you afraid of?
28:29Who is it you fear?
28:31Please, Sabine, do not push me.
28:34I have never heard of the things you speak of.
28:36I have never even met Celestine.
28:39Spare me, I beg you.
28:43Sabine screamed.
28:44That is not the truth.
28:46You told me something entirely different earlier.
28:50Celestial must have manipulated him.
28:52Why else would he suddenly change his story?
28:54The more hysterical she grew,
28:56the more unhinged she appeared.
28:57By contrast,
28:58I, with my bruised face and heavy belly,
29:01looked utterly pitiful.
29:02Enraged,
29:03Demirio ordered his men to gag her.
29:05What have you to say for yourself now?
29:07Really.
29:08You gag her and then demand an answer.
29:11But Damano had no intention of listening to her anyway.
29:14When you worked as a maid for our rivals,
29:17you were already ruthless.
29:19You would resort to any dirty tack to win.
29:21Then you betrayed the people who raised you
29:23for a man you barely knew.
29:25On the wedding day,
29:26you crashed into us in your motorcycle,
29:28nearly killing Celestine and my unborn son.
29:31Now you bribe a man to commit perjury
29:33and slander her,
29:34nearly costing me my claim as heir.
29:36You are nothing but a venomous serpent.
29:39Sabine shook her head violently,
29:41tears streaming freely.
29:42Yet Damiano acted as if he could not see a thing.
29:45Take her away.
29:46Luciana read the room perfectly
29:47and immediately had Sabine escorted out.
29:50Sabine clearly understood
29:51she would likely not survive once she left this room.
29:54As she stared at me,
29:55her eyes burned with confusion and hatred.
29:58I offered her a gentle smile.
30:01I am born a wrecked brat.
30:03No one knows better than me
30:05how to manipulate a witness.
30:07That night,
30:08as Greer helped me wash and changed,
30:10she kept clutching her chest in fright.
30:13I truly feared disaster would strike today.
30:17When did you get hold of the bracelet
30:19belonging to Marcus's daughter?
30:21The eighth rule of a wrecked bit.
30:22Expect the worst from every person in every situation
30:25and lay your safeguards well in advance.
30:27If I dared to use him,
30:28I would make certain I held his weakness in my grasp.
30:32Naturally,
30:32there was no need to share all those details with Greer.
