FunTranscript
00:02Two weeks before our wedding, my mafia fiancé, Nico Vitale, told me he wanted another woman to carry his child.
00:08Isabella saved my life.
00:10Now she has cancer, and her last wish is to leave a child behind for her family.
00:14Nico, have you lost your mind?
00:15If she hadn't saved me back then, I would have died at the hands of a rival family.
00:19I owe her that much.
00:20I don't agree.
00:21We're getting married next month, and you want another woman to carry your child?
00:24What does that make me?
00:25I'm only donating sperm.
00:27I'm not going to touch her.
00:28Evelyn, don't make it sound so dirty!
00:30Before I could say another word, his phone rang.
00:33The moment Nico saw the caller ID, the impatience in his eyes vanished.
00:37He took the call and walked into the soundproof study.
00:39A few minutes later, the Don, who almost never smiled, came out with warmth in his eyes.
00:44He grabbed his coat and said over his shoulder,
00:46Something came up. Think it over.
00:48Then he left without looking back.
00:49Not long after, Isabella had updated her Instagram.
00:52The moment I saw the picture she posted, my legs nearly gave out.
00:55It was an ultrasound report, and the patient's name printed on it was Isabella.
01:00The gestational age was written clearly.
01:02Six weeks.
01:03Nico had already gotten her pregnant a month ago.
01:05I called Nico, wanting to ask him what the hell was going on.
01:08But when the call connected,
01:10Sorry, Nico's in the shower.
01:12What do you need him for?
01:13Isabella's soft, sultry voice came through.
01:19I said coldly,
01:21I'm his fiancée. Put him on the phone.
01:24Oh, Evelyn.
01:26After he finishes his shower,
01:28I'll have Nico call you back, okay?
01:30I let out a cold laugh and shook my head.
01:33Forget it. No need.
01:35Nico was already showering at her place.
01:37What else did I need to ask?
01:38A while later, the door opened,
01:40and Nico walked into the living room with his arm around Isabella.
01:43I got caught in the rain earlier,
01:45so I took a shower at her place.
01:48Don't overthink it.
01:51What about the baby?
01:53Did either of you ask for my permission before deciding to have a child?
01:57He glanced at the ultrasound on the screen and frowned.
02:00Yes, Isabella is pregnant.
02:02What do you want me to do? Make her get rid of it?
02:06Evelyn, when did you become this cruel?
02:10Isabella's eyes reddened pitifully.
02:11If Evelyn doesn't agree, then I'll have no choice but to end it.
02:15Nico's gaze softened when he looked at her.
02:17I don't need her permission for this.
02:19Listen!
02:19Evelyn, stop acting like this.
02:21He pushed me aside and led Isabella into our master bedroom.
02:25Isabella can't sleep alone when it rains.
02:29You'll sleep in the guest room tonight.
02:30I lost my balance and fell to the floor.
02:32My tears fell onto the cold floor.
02:35Their teasing laughter drifted out from the room.
02:38Then a call from my mentor, Dr. Priya Meda, pulled me out of my grief.
02:41Evelyn, I know you're getting married, but are you truly not reconsidering that classified DARPA project?
02:47Half a year ago, she had invited me to join a secret laboratoria deep in the Nevada desert.
02:51The project operated under the highest level of confidentiality.
02:55Once I went, I would not be able to return for two or three years.
02:58Back then, my whole heart had been fixed on Nico, so I had turned her down without hesitation.
03:03I'll join.
03:05Her voice turned excited.
03:06You're sure?
03:07That's wonderful!
03:08How about reporting one week after the wedding?
03:11That way you can still have your honeymoon.
03:13Not after the wedding.
03:17The 10th.
03:19Isn't that your wedding day?
03:22Not anymore.
03:24After hanging up, I stood and called St. Patrick's Cathedral.
03:29Hello.
03:30I'd like to cancel a wedding reservation scheduled for 15 days from now.
03:33The staff member sounded incredulous.
03:35Miss Hayes, you booked this date a year in advance.
03:37It was extremely difficult to secure.
03:40Are you sure you want to cancel?
03:43I'm sure.
03:48For the next two days, Nico never came home, but Isabella posted his whereabouts on Instagram
03:53for him.
03:53In one photo, Nico's other hand rested gently over Isabella's stomach, his smile coming from
03:58somewhere real.
03:59In all five years we had been together, I had rarely seen him smile that way.
04:03In another photo, the stern old Don of the Vitale family was holding Nico's hand warmly,
04:08as if giving him careful instructions.
04:09The caption read, He brought me and the baby to meet Grandpa.
04:13The whole family is so happy to have us here.
04:15I told my best friend, Grace, that I had canceled the wedding.
04:18You've loved Nico for 10 years.
04:20You were finally about to become Mrs. Vitane Let Go.
04:24Can you really let go?
04:25Could I?
04:26Of course I couldn't.
04:27Nico and I had grown up together.
04:29I had loved him for 10 years.
04:30For all those years, even though we were always together, I was the one chasing after him.
04:35Five years ago, he finally accepted my confession, and I had been over the moon.
04:39I thought, I loved him long enough.
04:41One day he would finally let me in.
04:45But after Isabella, his so-called savior, appeared, I realized something.
04:49Nico wasn't incapable of tenderness.
04:51He simply didn't want to give it to me.
04:53The next day, Nico came home.
04:56The first thing he said was,
05:00Evelyn, cancel the appointment with the wedding planner tomorrow.
05:02I'm taking Isabella to the Amafi Coast.
05:05She said that after getting sick, she probably won't ever get married in this lifetime, so
05:08she wants a set of wedding-style photos there.
05:10That planner had taken me three months to book.
05:13Fine.
05:13I'll let them know.
05:14Nico froze a little, probably not expecting me to be so calm.
05:17He wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me in front of him.
05:21I remember you've always wanted to go to Santorini.
05:24After the wedding, I'll take you there for our honeymoon, okay?
05:27His tone sounded like he was granting me a favor.
05:29If this had been before, I would have been so happy I couldn't sleep all night.
05:33Now, I only smiled.
05:34We'll see.
05:35There would be no wedding.
05:36Where would a honeymoon come from?
05:40After Nico went to Italy, Isabella shared their honeymoon on social media every day.
05:44They took a private yacht out to sea, had dinner at a cliffside restaurant,
05:47and kissed beneath the sunrise on Capri.
05:49There was even a set of photos so intimate,
05:52they could almost have been printed directly on wedding invitations.
05:55In the photos, Nico wore a white linen suit.
05:57He looked exactly like the groom I had imagined countless times.
06:00Only the woman standing beside him was not me.
06:04I forced down the ache in my chest and kept packing.
06:07Grace came to the apartment to help me pack,
06:09and she couldn't stop asking what had happened.
06:11I handed her the ultrasound photo.
06:14She exploded.
06:15He got another woman pregnant and still wants to marry you?
06:20Did that bastard leave his brain in a sour?
06:23I shook my head and swallowed the bitterness in my throat.
06:25Who knows?
06:26He says Isabella saved his life,
06:29so he has to fulfill every wish she has.
06:32Grace's eyes reddened with anger.
06:34What about you?
06:36Six years ago on Halloween night,
06:38you nearly died in that alley saving him.
06:41Why doesn't he talk about repaying you?
06:43I lowered my head.
06:46Forget it, Grace.
06:47He never loved me to begin with.
06:50If I told him something like that,
06:52he would only think I was using it to threaten him.
06:55One day before my departure,
06:57I submitted my resignation to the university.
06:59When I returned to the apartment,
07:01I heard laughter inside.
07:03Nico and Isabella were sitting on the living room sofa.
07:05Isabella wore a white dress and looked so relaxed,
07:08as if she were the real mistress of the house.
07:11Evelyn, you're back.
07:15Nico looked around and asked,
07:16Why does the place feel so empty?
07:18I didn't bother explaining.
07:19Threw out some trash.
07:21He seemed about to say something else,
07:22but Isabella's delicate voice cut in.
07:25Evelyn,
07:26thank you for agreeing to let Nico take me on the trip.
07:29Let me treat you both to dinner tonight as thanks.
07:32Don't be so polite.
07:33It's the least I can do.
07:34The sight stung my eyes.
07:36I looked away.
07:36Thanks.
07:37But there's no need.
07:39Isabella lowered her eyes sadly.
07:42Nico's Evelyn still not like me?
07:44As she spoke,
07:45she rose unsteadily to her feet.
07:46I'm sorry, Evelyn.
07:48Once I give birth,
07:49I'll stay far away from you and Nico.
07:52Nico rushed over and helped her up.
07:54Then he turned to me.
07:55Isabella is sincerely thanking you.
07:57What's with that attitude?
08:00You're coming tonight.
08:02Nothing spicy,
08:03no cilantro,
08:04and she can't have seafood right now.
08:06At the table,
08:07he ordered for Isabella with practiced ease.
08:09Then a plate of king crab legs was pushed in front of me.
08:12This is for you.
08:12I looked at the crab and frowned.
08:14I'm allergic to shellfish.
08:15Nico's expression stiffened.
08:17Sorry,
08:18I forgot.
08:19What would you like?
08:21He reached out as if to touch my hair.
08:23Don't say anything else.
08:24Halfway through the meal,
08:26Nico went to the restroom.
08:27The moment he was gone,
08:28Isabella dropped that pitiful look.
08:31What does it feel like watching your fiancé have a child with another woman?
08:35I didn't want to argue with her,
08:36so I said nothing.
08:37But she suddenly rushed over and grabbed my hand.
08:40We were so sweet during the trip.
08:43Want to hear more?
08:47Don't touch me.
08:48I shook her off.
08:50At the exact moment,
08:52Nico returned.
08:53He rushed over and helped her up.
08:54Nico,
08:55please don't blame Evelyn.
08:57She only lost control for a moment.
08:59Nico frowned and snapped at me.
09:00Evelyn,
09:01are you crazy?
09:02Apologize to Isabella right now.
09:08Check the surveillance footage.
09:10I never touched her.
09:11Would a pregnant woman with cancer use her own child to frame you?
09:14Nico,
09:14I can't.
09:15My stomach hurts.
09:19I'm taking her to the hospital.
09:20Get yourself a cab home.
09:22He was so worried he didn't even have time to keep scolding me.
09:24He picked her up and strode away.
09:27That night,
09:28Nico came back furious.
09:29He sat on the sofa,
09:30his face dark.
09:32Isabella is already sick.
09:33I said nothing.
09:35Even if you didn't mean it,
09:36couldn't you be the bigger person?
09:38Then he saw the huge red circle on the calendar.
09:40We're getting married tomorrow.
09:41I don't want to fight with you at a time like this.
09:43After the wedding,
09:44you'll apologize to Isabella.
09:46Otherwise,
09:46forget Santorini.
09:47Then don't.
09:50What do you mean?
09:51Just then,
09:51his phone rang again.
09:52Isabella's sobbing voice came through from the other end.
09:55Isabella isn't feeling well.
09:55I'm going to check on her.
09:57I'll be back before the ceremony.
09:58You go to the church first in the morning.
10:01After the door closed,
10:02I sat alone on the sofa until dawn.
10:04When my flight reminder lit up,
10:06I pulled out the suitcase I had packed long ago.
10:08I drew a hard X over the 10th on the calendar
10:10and left one final message.
10:12Then,
10:12I boarded the flight to Nevada.
10:14I did get,
10:15at the church.
10:16Nico arrived in a rush,
10:17still wearing last night's clothes.
10:19Mrs. Vitale,
10:19her dove.
10:20Nico, why haven't you even changed into your suit?
10:21She looked behind him.
10:22And Evelyn?
10:23Didn't she come with you?
10:24Nico looked confused.
10:26Isn't she supposed to be here already?
10:27Where is she?
10:28Only after looking around
10:29did he realize
10:30there were no flowers in the church.
10:32There was no trace of a bride at all.
10:34Which hall is Evelyn Hayes' ceremony booked under?
10:36The priest opened the register.
10:38The main sanctuary.
10:40However,
10:41Miss Hayes called half a month ago
10:43and cancelled the reservation.
10:45She said the wedding had been cancelled.
10:51Cancelled?
10:52How is that possible?
10:53The priest calmly checked the record again.
10:55It was confirmed by Miss Hayes herself.
10:57The call was made 15 days ago.
10:58The color slowly drained from Nico's face.
11:0115 days ago
11:02was the day the news of Isabella's pregnancy came out.
11:04The day he had cut off his conversation with him
11:06and rushed eagerly to Isabella's place.
11:08She must have cancelled the wedding
11:09in a moment of impulse.
11:11Mrs. Vitale pulled her son aside.
11:13What is going on?
11:14Evelyn disappeared on the day of the wedding
11:16and she cancelled the reservation half a week ago.
11:18And you knew nothing about it?
11:19Nico took out his phone and called Evelyn.
11:21I'll ask her what happened.
11:24The number you are trying to reach is unavailable.
11:26But all he heard was the cold, automated message.
11:29Evelyn is probably just upset with me.
11:31I'll go to the apartment and bring her back.
11:33After saying that,
11:34he ignored the shocking place in the church
11:35and rushed out.
11:36The car had barely stopped
11:37before he pushed the door open and got out.
11:39Then unlocked the penthouse with his fingerprint.
11:41But the apartment was silent.
11:42The photo at the entryway,
11:43the one Evelyn had treasured so much,
11:45was gone.
11:46Her clothes,
11:47shoes,
11:47and bags
11:48had all disappeared from the walk-in closet.
11:51Nico searched every room of the madman.
11:53Finally,
11:53he saw the calendar lying open
11:54in the center of the coffee table.
11:56A huge X had been drawn over the 10th.
11:58There was only one line.
11:59Nico, let's break up.
12:00In that instant,
12:01Nico felt as if thunder had exploded over his head.
12:04There was a sound from the bathroom.
12:06He spun around and rushed out of the room.
12:08Evelyn?
12:09Evelyn?
12:10Are you in the bathroom?
12:12Stop messing around.
12:14Come with me to the church
12:15and finish the wedding.
12:15Flinging to his last shred of hope,
12:17he pushed open the door.
12:20But there was nothing in the bathroom,
12:22only the sound of a bottle of body wash
12:24slipping from the shelf
12:25and hitting the floor.
12:26At that moment,
12:27I was dragging my suitcase
12:28out of the arrivals hall.
12:29My phone lit up
12:30with dozens of messages from Nico.
12:32Where are you?
12:32Come back.
12:33Evelyn, stop this.
12:34I order you to answer your phone.
12:35I glanced at them
12:36and then ignored them.
12:39Evelyn?
12:40I turned around and froze.
12:41A young man stood outside the crowd,
12:43sunlight falling across his shoulders.
12:45It's only been five years.
12:46Did you really forget me?
12:47I stared for a few seconds.
12:48In my memory,
12:49the younger lab mate
12:50who used to panic
12:51over the smallest details.
12:52Thank God.
12:53You haven't forgotten me completely.
12:56As he spoke,
12:58he naturally walked over
12:59and took my suitcase from my hand.
13:01Come on.
13:02Dr. Mahurdy has been waiting for you.
13:03The car to the base
13:04drove all the way
13:05into the depths of the desert.
13:07The city skyline
13:07was thrown far behind us.
13:09Lucas told me a few updates
13:10about the lab.
13:11His tone's so light.
13:12It was as if five years
13:13had never passed between us.
13:14After being with Nico for too long,
13:16I had grown used to silence,
13:17coldness,
13:18and constant caution.
13:19But Lucas was different.
13:20After passing through
13:20layer after layer of security,
13:22Lucas stopped with me
13:23outside my mentor's office.
13:24I stood at the door,
13:26my fingers resting on the handle,
13:27but I could not bring myself
13:29to push it open.
13:29Seeing my hesitation,
13:31Lucas suddenly leaned close to the door
13:32and deliberately raised his voice.
13:34Dr. Meta,
13:35your favorite student is back!
13:37Lucas!
13:38Almost instinctively,
13:39I reached out
13:40and covered his mouth.
13:41In the next second,
13:42my palm brushed
13:43against his cool lips.
13:44The atmosphere
13:45turned faintly intimate.
13:47Lucas blinked,
13:48and the tips of his ears
13:49visibly reddened.
13:50I pulled my hand back
13:51as if I had been burned.
13:53Soon,
13:53my mentor's cold voice
13:55came from inside.
13:56So you still remember
13:57how to come back?
13:57I froze where I stood.
13:59Lucas lowered his head
14:00and laughed,
14:01then pushed the door open for me.
14:02Go in.
14:03The harder she scolds you,
14:05the more she missed you.
14:05I walked into my mentor's office,
14:07only to find her eyes already red.
14:09Evelyn,
14:09I finally got you back.
14:11We hugged,
14:11then she told me earnestly,
14:13Evelyn,
14:13now that you're here,
14:14keep your mind on the research this time.
14:16Lucas took me to the dormitory.
14:18Evelyn,
14:18get some rest first.
14:19Call me anytime
14:20if you need anything.
14:21But before I had been asleep for long,
14:23my phone rang
14:24and woke me.
14:24Nico's roar
14:25nearly blasted
14:26through the receiver.
14:28Evelyn Hayes!
14:29Where the hell are you?
14:31I rubbed my aching temples.
14:32I wrote it very clearly.
14:34We broke up.
14:35No.
14:36I didn't agree to that.
14:37I couldn't help laughing,
14:38my voice full of mockery.
14:41I didn't agree to you
14:42having a child with Isabella either.
14:44That didn't stop you
14:45in getting her pregnant,
14:45did it?
14:47The other end of the line
14:48suddenly went quiet,
14:50leaning against the headboard.
14:51I said calmly,
14:52Nico,
14:52do you really think
14:53I would let another woman's child
14:55call my husband dad?
14:56So this is only because of the child?
14:58His voice had gone hoarse.
14:59No.
15:00I closed my eyes.
15:01That child only made me
15:03finally see one thing clearly.
15:05What?
15:05You aren't cold.
15:07You just don't love me.
15:08Before,
15:09I had always found excuses for him.
15:11I told myself
15:11the heir of the Vitale family
15:13had grown up in a harsh world
15:14and simply did not know
15:15how to express his feelings.
15:17But later,
15:17I realized I had only been
15:19lying to myself.
15:20For half a year,
15:21he had taken meticulous care
15:22of Isabella.
15:23He put coats around her shoulders,
15:24remembered every food
15:26she avoided,
15:27accompanied her
15:27to prenatal appointments
15:28and was even willing
15:29to travel for her.
15:31Even though he hated trips,
15:32all of it proved one thing.
15:33He simply did not
15:34love me that much.
15:36No,
15:36these are all misunderstandings.
15:38Tell me where you are.
15:39On the other end,
15:40Nico's voice hardened again.
15:41I need to see you.
15:42There's no need.
15:43No matter what,
15:44let's meet and talk, okay?
15:46No.
15:47I need to rest.
15:48I hung up
15:49and blocked his number.
15:50When I opened
15:50my social media apps,
15:52I realized he had sent me
15:53more messages in one day
15:54than he had in the past year combined.
15:55I didn't reply.
15:57I deleted every way
15:58he could contact me
15:59and turned off my phone.
16:00On the other side,
16:01Nico kept trying to message me.
16:02The moment the red exclamation mark
16:04appeared on his screen,
16:05he went completely stiff.
16:08To find me,
16:09the Vitale family
16:10practically turned Chicago upside down.
16:12But after checking every place
16:14they could think of,
16:15they found no trace of me.
16:16At last,
16:17Nico went to Grace's house.
16:18When she opened the door
16:19and saw him,
16:20she let out a cold laugh.
16:21Well, look who it is.
16:23The ex-fiancé
16:24who donated himself
16:25in the name of honor.
16:27Where is Evelyn?
16:29None of your damn business.
16:30She raised a hand
16:31to shut the door.
16:32Nico instinctively
16:33reached out to block it
16:34and the heavy wooden door
16:35slammed onto his fingers.
16:37Pain immediately broke
16:38a cold sweat
16:39across his forehead,
16:40but he kept staring at Grace.
16:41Tell me where she is.
16:43Grace was completely furious now.
16:45You got another woman pregnant?
16:47Why are you still
16:48looking for Evelyn?
16:50Isabella saved my life.
16:51Nico repeated the same explanation
16:53almost on instinct.
16:54I only donated sperm.
16:55It was repayment.
16:57Grace stared at him.
16:58Then she laughed.
16:59Savior?
17:00Evelyn saved your life too.
17:01Why didn't I see you begging
17:03to give her a child?
17:04Nico froze.
17:05What did you say?
17:06The mockery slowly disappeared
17:08from Grace's face.
17:09Six years ago,
17:10Halloween night,
17:11that alley,
17:12you really don't remember any of it?
17:14She took out her phone
17:15and pulled up an old photo.
17:16The corners of the photo
17:17had yellowed a little,
17:18but Evelyn in the image
17:19was still painfully clear.
17:21She lay in an ICU bed.
17:23The gauze over her abdomen
17:24almost soaked through with blood,
17:26her face pale
17:27to the point of translucence.
17:29Evelyn took a knife for you.
17:31She was in the ICU for three days.
17:34She risked her life to save you.
17:36And this is how you repay her?
17:38Nico took the photo.
17:39In that instant,
17:40his gaze trembled violently.
17:42The memory he had believed in
17:43for six years
17:44was torn open like a wound.
17:46He had always thought Isabella
17:47was the one who had been
17:48at his bedside that night.
17:49The one who had saved him.
17:51But Evelyn in the photo
17:52was clearly wounded
17:53far worse than he had been.
17:54His voice shook.
17:56Are you saying the person
17:56who saved me back then
17:57was actually Evelyn?
18:00Nico nearly stormed
18:01into the hospital.
18:02Isabella was leaning
18:03against the bed,
18:04looking at baby products.
18:05When she saw him,
18:06surprise flashed in her eyes.
18:08Nico, didn't you go to the wedding?
18:10Nico did not return her smile.
18:12Six years ago,
18:14was it really you who saved me?
18:16A flicker of guilt
18:17crossed Isabella's face
18:18and her smile stiffened
18:19for just a moment.
18:20Only a moment,
18:21but he saw it.
18:22Of course.
18:23She quickly regained her composure.
18:25When you woke up,
18:26I was the first person you saw.
18:28Don't you remember?
18:30Nico stared at her
18:30and the chaotic memories
18:32from that night surged back.
18:33In that dark alley,
18:35he had been followed
18:35by several enemies.
18:37A knife had gone into his abdomen.
18:39Someone had rushed in
18:40from the mouth of the alley
18:41and thrown herself
18:42at the attackers.
18:43All he remembered
18:44was that person's hands,
18:45covered in blood.
18:46Then he lost consciousness
18:47when he woke again.
18:48Isabella had been at his bedside,
18:50so he had never doubted her.
18:51His gaze turned cold.
18:52But I found proof.
18:54The person who saved me
18:55was Evelyn.
18:56Isabella's face
18:57went completely white.
18:58Nico, I...
18:59He rushed forward in fury
19:00and gripped her shoulders.
19:02Why did you lie to me?
19:03Deep fear showed on her face.
19:04I didn't mean to lie.
19:05I just...
19:07passed by your room
19:08and when you woke up,
19:09you grabbed my hand
19:10and thanked me.
19:11I just...
19:12didn't deny it.
19:13Isabella should have explained
19:14back then.
19:15But she knew better than anyone
19:16what it meant
19:17to become Nico Vitale's savior.
19:19At first,
19:19she had only planned
19:20to use that identity
19:21to get closer to him,
19:22maybe even become
19:23the woman who stood beside him.
19:25But not long after,
19:26her family sent her to Italy
19:27and they lost contact
19:28until half a year ago
19:29when she returned to Chicago
19:31and reappeared in Nico's life.
19:33You just didn't deny it?
19:35Nico let out a scoff.
19:36His eyes terrifyingly red.
19:38So you used me all this time?
19:40The woman who had truly saved him
19:42had stayed beside him
19:43for ten whole years,
19:45dressing his wounds
19:45and leaving a light on for him
19:47late into the night.
19:48Yet he had gotten the woman
19:49who stole Evelyn's place pregnant.
19:51His voice was ice cold.
19:52This child cannot be born.
19:54Isabella jerked her head up.
19:57Isabella clutched her stomach
19:58like a madwoman.
19:59This is your child.
20:01The Vittori bloodline.
20:03Nico's eyes were cold.
20:04It is a mistake I made.
20:05So the pregnancy will be terminated.
20:07No!
20:09Evelyn is gone!
20:10She doesn't want you anymore!
20:12Do you think if you get rid of this baby
20:14she'll come back?
20:15Those words stabbed
20:16into the deepest part of him
20:18like a knife.
20:19All the color drained
20:20from Nico's face.
20:21But Isabella seemed to have
20:22finally found his sore spot
20:24and laughed almost viciously.
20:25She would rather hide
20:27in a place you can't even find
20:28than see you again.
20:30Nico, you've already lost her.
20:32Slap.
20:33Nico struck her across the face.
20:34Isabella was stunned.
20:35Crying, she reached for his pant leg.
20:37We've been together for so long.
20:40Did you really never feel
20:41anything for me?
20:43Never.
20:43He shook off her hand.
20:45From today on,
20:46the Vitali family
20:46will terminate
20:47all cooperation
20:48with the Conti family.
20:49And you are not allowed
20:51to appear in front of me again.
20:52Nico looked coldly
20:53toward the men at the door.
20:54Take her to Dr. Rosi's.
20:56Isabella collapsed
20:57on the floor in despair.
20:58Her tears no longer
20:59had any effect.
21:00He said, word by word,
21:01This child
21:03will never be part
21:04of the Vittori bloodline.
21:05He turned and left
21:06without hesitation.
21:07Behind him,
21:08Isabella's heart-rending cries
21:09filled the room,
21:10but he never looked back.
21:11Instead,
21:12he called his underboss.
21:13Use every resource we have
21:15to find Evelyn.
21:18Nico searched for Evelyn
21:19almost like a madman.
21:21Every day,
21:21he went to Grace's place.
21:22When Grace refused
21:24to open the door,
21:25he stood outside
21:25and waited
21:26from morning
21:27until late at night.
21:28On the third day,
21:29Grace finally lost her patience
21:30and opened the door.
21:32She went to a classified lab.
21:34She left Chicago.
21:35Which lab?
21:36Grace sneered.
21:37Aren't you so powerful?
21:39Find out yourself.
21:40The door slammed shut again.
21:42Nico used the entire
21:43Vitali family's
21:44intelligence network
21:45before he found out
21:46that Dr. Priya Mehta
21:47was leading a highly classified
21:48DARPA project in Nevada.
21:49There was no concrete proof
21:51that Evelyn was there,
21:52but he clung to it
21:53like a final lifeline
21:54and flew to Las Vegas
21:55that very night.
21:56At four in the morning,
21:57he drove into the Nevada desert.
21:59Sand battered the windows.
22:01There were no lights
22:01in the distance,
22:02no city,
22:03only a road split open
22:04by his headlights,
22:05stretching straight
22:06into the darkness.
22:07At dawn,
22:08he finally saw the base.
22:09Chainlink fences,
22:10searchlights,
22:11armed soldiers.
22:12Standing outside the perimeter,
22:14Nico understood clearly
22:15for the first time
22:16that this was not Chicago.
22:17The Vitali name
22:18meant nothing here.
22:19All he could do
22:20was stop a researcher
22:21who had just returned
22:22from outside
22:22and say hoarsely,
22:23Please help me find
22:25Evelyn Hayes.
22:26The person frowned.
22:27Who are you?
22:27I'm her fiancé.
22:29When a colleague told me
22:30someone was looking for me,
22:31I thought I had heard wrong.
22:32Then I walked out of the base
22:33and saw Nico standing
22:35in the sandstorm.
22:36He looked as if he had not
22:37slept all night.
22:38His suit was badly wrinkled.
22:39A layer of dust
22:40rested on his shoulders
22:41and his eyes were bloodshot.
22:43The moment he saw me,
22:44his eyes reddened.
22:45He grabbed my wrist.
22:46Evelyn,
22:47why did you leave
22:47without saying a word?
22:49Do you have any idea
22:50how much it took
22:51for me to find you?
22:53I yanked my arm free,
22:55impatient.
22:55Why are you here?
22:57Nico's hand froze in midair
22:59at that moment.
23:00The light in his eyes
23:01dimmed little by little.
23:02His voice sank
23:03almost to humility.
23:04Evelyn,
23:04I'm here to apologize.
23:05I don't want to hear it.
23:06I cut him off
23:07before he could finish.
23:08Please stop looking for me
23:09and go back.
23:11Your Isabella
23:12is waiting for you.
23:12He said,
23:13I just found out
23:14that you were the one
23:15who saved me six years ago.
23:17Isabella lied to me.
23:18I also know
23:18I was terribly wrong,
23:20but the person I've loved
23:21has always been you.
23:22As he spoke,
23:22tears mixed with
23:23the windblown sand
23:24on his face.
23:25Don't worry.
23:26I already had her
23:27terminate the pregnancy.
23:28If this had been before,
23:29seeing the arrogant
23:30Dawn look so broken
23:31would have softened
23:32my heart long ago.
23:33But now,
23:34there was nothing
23:35left in me to soften.
23:36Nico,
23:37it's too late.
23:38His face went pale.
23:39I can wait.
23:40I can make it up to you.
23:41Whatever you want me to do,
23:42I'll do it.
23:43How ironic.
23:43For the past ten years,
23:45I had placed everything
23:46I had in front of him
23:47and he had never
23:47cared enough to look.
23:49Now that I no longer
23:50wanted him,
23:50he chased after me
23:51saying he loved me.
23:52Do whatever you want.
23:53The project officially
23:54starts tomorrow.
23:56After that,
23:56I won't be coming out
23:57for a year and a half.
23:58I turned and walked
23:59toward the base gate.
24:00His voice trembled
24:01with restraint.
24:01Evelyn,
24:03I'll wait for you
24:04no matter how long.
24:05I did not look back.
24:06The heavy metal gate
24:07slowly closed behind me.
24:10Nico returned
24:11to that empty apartment
24:12in a daze.
24:13There was no breakfast.
24:14No light left on
24:15for him late at night.
24:16No one holding
24:17a medical kit
24:17to treat his gunshot wounds.
24:19Evelyn had spent
24:20the past ten years
24:21chasing after him.
24:22This time,
24:22he would prove
24:23his heart to her.
24:24Nico's gaze
24:25slowly turned firm.
24:26He wiped dust
24:27from Evelyn's face
24:28in the photo.
24:28Her smile was so bright,
24:30but tears kept falling
24:31from his eyes.
24:32His resolve only grew clearer.
24:34He would wait
24:34for Evelyn to come back.
24:36After entering the base,
24:37I had almost no time
24:38to think about Chicago.
24:39The intensity of the project
24:40was far beyond
24:41what I had imagined.
24:43More than ten hours
24:43of experiments
24:44and data work
24:45filled my days.
24:46It was also there
24:46that something slowly
24:47began to spark
24:49between Lucas Bennett and me.
24:50He remembered
24:51that I took my coffee
24:52without sugar.
24:53When I forgot
24:53to eat breakfast,
24:54he would stuff a sandwich
24:55into my hand.
24:56When it came to details
24:57of the project,
24:58he would argue with me
24:59until both of us
25:00were red in the face.
25:01But he never once
25:02dismissed my judgment
25:03because I was a woman.
25:04At first,
25:04I only felt that being
25:05around him was easy.
25:06Later,
25:07during an experiment,
25:08a piece of equipment
25:09suddenly malfunctioned,
25:10and I was trapped
25:11in a cold chamber
25:12for a full ten minutes.
25:13When the door
25:13finally opened again,
25:15Lucas rushed in
25:16and pulled me
25:16into his arms.
25:17Evelyn,
25:18you can't get hurt.
25:18Leaning against him,
25:19I could even feel
25:20his hands still trembling.
25:21At that moment,
25:22I suddenly remembered
25:23how many years ago
25:24I had once rushed
25:25toward another man
25:26just as recklessly.
25:27So this was what
25:28it looked like
25:29when someone was truly
25:30afraid of losing you.
25:31It could not be hidden.
25:33Two years later,
25:34the first phase
25:34of the project
25:35was finally completed
25:36before leaving the base.
25:38I returned to the lab
25:39to pick up one last report.
25:40When I pushed open the door,
25:42Lucas was standing
25:43beside my workbench.
25:44On top of the report
25:45was a dark, velvet box.
25:47I stopped.
25:47Lucas opened the box.
25:49Inside was a diamond ring.
25:50The man who could joke
25:51through almost any situation
25:52was visibly nervous this time.
25:54He looked at me and smiled.
25:55Evelyn,
25:57do you want to work
25:58on the next phase of life
25:59with me too?
26:01I looked at him,
26:02and for the first time,
26:03I was not afraid
26:04to start over.
26:05Sure.
26:06Outside the window,
26:06the desert had been dyed gold
26:08by the sunset.
26:09He carefully slipped the ring
26:10onto my finger,
26:11then cupped my face
26:12and lowered his head
26:13to kiss me.
26:13A few days later,
26:14Lucas and I returned
26:15to Chicago together
26:16for vacation.
26:17O'Hare Airport
26:17was crowded and noisy.
26:19I pushed my suitcase
26:20out of the arrivals hall.
26:21Lucas followed beside me,
26:23endlessly reminding me
26:24that I had promised
26:24to spend at least half
26:25of my two-month break
26:27with him.
26:27We see each other
26:28every day on the project.
26:29You're still not tired of me?
26:31I asked with a smile.
26:32Not even close.
26:33He answered with
26:34perfect confidence
26:35just after we left
26:36the airport.
26:37A black Maybach
26:38sat quietly by the curb
26:39as we passed a corner.
26:40I thought I saw
26:41a familiar figure
26:42standing not far away.
26:43After two years,
26:44he had grown much thinner,
26:46his features sharper
26:47than before.
26:47He did not seem
26:48to notice me.
26:49My steps paused
26:50for only a second.
26:50Lucas followed my gaze.
26:52Someone you know?
26:53My ex.
26:54Oh.
26:54He did not ask
26:55any more questions.
26:56He simply took
26:56my suitcase naturally
26:58and held my hand.
26:59Come on,
26:59my fiance.
27:00As he spoke,
27:00his thumb unconsciously
27:02brushed over the ring
27:03on my left hand.
27:04Two years ago,
27:05that finger had worn
27:06the engagement ring
27:07Nico gave me.
27:08Now,
27:08the same finger
27:09carried another man's promise.
27:10Grace insisted on
27:11throwing me
27:12a welcome back dinner.
27:13By the time Lucas and I
27:14arrived at the restaurant
27:15in Fulton Market,
27:16we were a few minutes late.
27:18Hurry up,
27:19or they really are
27:19going to make us
27:20drink his punishment.
27:21Lucas laughed
27:21and took my hand,
27:22pulling me all the way
27:23upstairs.
27:24As we turned a corner,
27:25I thought I saw
27:25that familiar figure again,
27:27but it vanished
27:28in a flash.
27:28I didn't think much of it
27:30and assumed I had
27:30imagined it.
27:32When Grace saw me,
27:34she screamed
27:34and threw herself at me.
27:36Several old friends
27:37crowded around,
27:38asking question
27:38after question.
27:39They looked at Lucas.
27:40Evelyn,
27:41that's not fair.
27:42You didn't even
27:42introduce us
27:43to this handsome guy.
27:44Lucas and I
27:44exchanged a look
27:45and I smiled.
27:46While I'm at it,
27:47let me introduce
27:47my younger lab mate,
27:49Lucas Bennett.
27:49Grace wiggled her brows.
27:50Just your junior?
27:51I paused.
27:52Of course not.
27:53He's also my fiance.
27:54The private room
27:55erupted in cheers.
27:57So you went off
27:57to do research
27:58and secretly fell in love?
28:00Fiance?
28:01When's the wedding?
28:02I want to be a bridesmaid.
28:03Me too!
28:04Just then,
28:05the door to the private room opened.
28:06Everyone turned at once.
28:08Nico stood in the doorway,
28:09the shock on his face
28:10almost impossible to hide.
28:12After two years,
28:13he had grown much thinner.
28:14His handsome,
28:15sharp features
28:16had become even more defined,
28:17but his gray eyes
28:18looked far more tired
28:19than I remembered.
28:20His face was pale
28:21and his gaze was fixed
28:22on Lucas' hand holding mine.
28:24I was a little surprised.
28:25Why are you here?
28:26What I did not know
28:27was that an hour earlier,
28:29Nico had already received word
28:30that I had returned to Chicago.
28:32The airport was crowded
28:33and he had not found me.
28:34After confirming the address
28:35of the welcome back dinner,
28:36he had rushed over
28:37without a moment's delay.
28:38Two years.
28:39He had waited for two whole years.
28:41But when he actually stood
28:43outside the private room,
28:44he stopped.
28:45Nico went to the restroom.
28:46He straightened his zenya suit
28:48and adjusted his collar.
28:49Before pushing open the door,
28:50he imagined countless possibilities
28:52for our reunion.
28:53Maybe I would still be angry.
28:55Maybe I would refuse
28:56to forgive him.
28:57Maybe I had completely let go
28:58and would only treat him
28:59as an ordinary old acquaintance.
29:01But Nico thought
29:01none of that mattered.
29:02As long as he could see me again,
29:04as long as I was still willing
29:06to hear him speak,
29:06he would still have a chance
29:08to win me back.
29:09The only thing he had never imagined
29:10was this.
29:11Before he even pushed open the door,
29:13he heard my voice from inside.
29:15Of course not.
29:16He's also my fiancé.
29:17Nico could no longer bear to listen.
29:19He shoved the door open.
29:20He's your fiancé.
29:21Everyone turned at the same time.
29:22Nico stood in the doorway,
29:24his eyes red as he looked at Evelyn.
29:26Then what am I?
29:28I frowned.
29:29What are you doing here?
29:31We broke up two years ago.
29:32The words had barely left my mouth
29:34when I felt my palm
29:35being lightly scratched.
29:36I turned my head
29:37and met Lucas's
29:38slightly displeased gaze.
29:40I couldn't help smiling
29:41and instead held his hand
29:42even tighter.
29:43In the next second,
29:44Lucas wrapped an arm
29:45directly around my waist.
29:46Nico's expression
29:47darkened instantly.
29:49Nico Vitani,
29:50two years ago
29:51you were the one
29:51who chose Isabella.
29:53Now Evelyn is getting married.
29:55What are you doing here?
29:57Nico seemed not to hear her at all.
29:59His gaze remained fixed on me.
30:00Evelyn?
30:01His voice was unbearably hoarse.
30:03This isn't real, is it?
30:05You just found someone
30:06to make me jealous, right?
30:07Please.
30:08I'm not that bored.
30:09Lucas tightened his arm
30:11around my waist
30:11and drew me into his embrace
30:13and looked calmly at Nico.
30:14She already made herself clear.
30:16You broke up.
30:17His tone was not loud,
30:18but there was no retreat in it.
30:19I'm not some man
30:20she found to make you jealous.
30:22I'm her fiancé.
30:23Lucas looked down at me
30:24then looked back at Nico.
30:26So,
30:26stay away from my fiancé.
30:28After that,
30:28my friends pushed Nico
30:29out of the private room
30:31and the door closed again.
30:32What the hell is wrong with him?
30:34But I had not expected him
30:35to wait until the dinner ended.
30:37While I stood at the entrance
30:38waiting for Lucas
30:39to bring the car around,
30:40a voice came from behind me.
30:41Evelyn, can we talk?
30:44Nico's throat moved,
30:46his voice rough.
30:46I waited for you for two years.
30:48That was your choice.
30:50Evelyn.
30:51He instinctively reached for me.
30:52I stepped back.
30:53I know now
30:54that you were the one
30:55who saved me.
30:56Isabella lied to me.
30:57The child is gone
30:58and I've cut her off completely.
31:00Evelyn,
31:00can we start over?
31:02I looked at him
31:02for a few seconds.
31:03What if she really
31:04had been your savior?
31:05Nico froze.
31:06I continued,
31:07if she hadn't lied to you,
31:08would you still think
31:09there was nothing wrong
31:10with letting her carry your child?
31:12This time,
31:13he could not say a word.
31:14Looking at Nico's pale face,
31:15I suddenly felt
31:16that after two years,
31:18he still had not truly
31:19understood why I left.
31:20The problem was never
31:21that you mistook your savior.
31:23It was that you knew
31:24it would hurt me
31:24and you did it anyway.
31:26I only wanted to repay her.
31:27I didn't know
31:28you were the one
31:28who saved me.
31:29There were hundreds
31:29of ways to repay her.
31:32Money,
31:33treatment,
31:33protection for the Kanto family.
31:35You could have even
31:35transferred part of
31:36your assets to her.
31:37But you chose
31:38to let her carry your child.
31:39I took one step
31:40toward him,
31:40my voice very soft.
31:42Because you were sure
31:43I wouldn't leave.
31:44You knew I had loved you
31:45for ten years,
31:46so you believed
31:46that no matter what you did,
31:48I would eventually compromise.
31:49Nico's eyes were red.
31:51I love you too.
31:52I suddenly laughed.
31:54When is my birthday?
31:55But no answer came.
31:56What am I allergic on?
31:58Where did I want to go most?
31:59His gaze dropped.
32:00Santorini.
32:01Because I begged you
32:02for five years
32:03and you never once
32:03went with me.
32:04Nico stood there,
32:05his face deathly pale,
32:07as if every excuse
32:08he had used
32:09to deceive himself
32:10was being stripped away
32:11layer by layer.
32:12You say you love me
32:13but you know nothing
32:14about what I like.
32:15And before our wedding,
32:16you got another woman pregnant.
32:17I looked at him.
32:18If that's love,
32:19then I don't want it.
32:20As I turned to leave,
32:21he asked behind me,
32:22his voice hoarse.
32:23If there had been
32:23no Isabella,
32:24would we have made it
32:25to the end?
