Transcript

00:00:04I was the daughter of a mafia godfather.

00:00:07The day I met Vincent, he fell in love with me at first sight.

00:00:11The first time, I found a receipt from a luxury boutique in his pocket.

00:00:15It was a gift for another boss's wife.

00:00:17In our world, every courtesy has to be handled properly.

00:00:20I chose to believe him.

00:00:22The second time, I found an earring in his car that wasn't mine.

00:00:26One of his friends claimed it belonged to his girlfriend.

00:00:30And told me not to read into it.

00:00:31Then came a third time, and a fourth.

00:00:33Whenever I found something suspicious, someone always had an excuse ready.

00:00:39The tenth time, I pulled a box of condoms from under our bed and held it up in front of

00:00:43him.

00:00:45Whose are these? We never use this brand.

00:00:48Vincent paused halfway through, knotting his tie.

00:00:51With a weary sigh, he made a call.

00:00:54Lorenzo, when you stayed over last time, did you leave a box of condoms here?

00:00:57Yeah, I've been looking for them.

00:01:01Sorry.

00:01:02Is my sister doubting you again?

00:01:04Then Camille, my sister-in-law, and my best friend started lecturing me.

00:01:08Alexia, trust is the foundation of any relationship.

00:01:12You can't keep doubting Vincent.

00:01:14If you can't trust him, don't marry him.

00:01:17Stop taking Vincent's love for granted.

00:01:19After the call ended, Vincent spread his hands.

00:01:25Alessia, we should end this.

00:01:26This is the tenth time.

00:01:28Like Camille said, if you can't trust me, maybe we shouldn't.

00:01:31You're right.

00:01:32We're canceling the wedding.

00:01:33Vincent would never have guessed that no one else had left those condoms.

00:01:37I bought them myself and planted them under the bed.

00:01:43That single box was all it took to tear open the ugly truth behind our so-called love.

00:01:49I've canceled the wedding photographer.

00:01:51Don't bother buying the rings.

00:01:52The moment I finished, Vincent tugged at his tie in annoyance.

00:01:55Alexia, how long are you going to keep this up?

00:01:57Even your brother vouched for me.

00:01:58What more do you want?

00:02:00He sat at the other end of the bed with his back to me.

00:02:02If you're sick, see a doctor.

00:02:04But stop suspecting me all day.

00:02:05You're only hurting our relationship.

00:02:07One day, your suspicions will wear away every bit of love I have for you.

00:02:12I'm serious, Alexia.

00:02:13A marriage can't last without trust.

00:02:16Before I could answer, his phone chimed.

00:02:18The instant he read the message, the irritation in his eyes melted into tenderness.

00:02:22But when he looked at me again, his gaze turned cold.

00:02:25I'm busy today.

00:02:27Find something to do so you don't sit around doubting me again.

00:02:29He straightened his tie and left without looking back.

00:02:32I knew Vincent was hiding something.

00:02:34Instead of taking my car, I hailed a cab and followed him.

00:02:38Forty minutes later, the cab stopped outside a villa in the suburbs.

00:02:41Through a window, I saw a living room filled with food and wine.

00:02:45Everyone around the table was painfully familiar.

00:02:47Beside Vincent sat a woman holding a baby.

00:02:50She wore the same earring I'd once found in his car.

00:02:52Her designer dress matched the receipt I'd found in Vincent's pocket.

00:02:56Then I saw her face.

00:02:57I could never forget it.

00:02:58This woman had nearly taken everything from me.

00:03:01A year earlier, my adoptive father, the godfather, found his long-lost biological daughter, Sophia.

00:03:07Only then did I learn I wasn't his real daughter.

00:03:10From that day on, the family shut me out and stripped away every privilege I'd had.

00:03:15They crowned Sophia the princess of the Romano family.

00:03:18And I became the outsider who had stolen her place for years.

00:03:22I couldn't accept it.

00:03:23During one argument, Sophia's bodyguard beat me badly and my adoptive father threw me out.

00:03:31Now, the brother who had always protected me was carefully cutting Sophia's steak.

00:03:36The best friend who'd sworn to stand by me forever was playing with Sophia's baby.

00:03:40And Vincent, who had just accused me of distrusting him, pulled Sophia into his arms as everyone cheered.

00:03:47The sight made the room spin.

00:03:51After I was thrown out, Vincent promised to care for me for the rest of my life.

00:03:57They all knew I had nowhere to go, yet they still deceived me together.

00:04:01My eyes stung, but I forced back my tears.

00:04:05So this was what betrayal by the people closest to me felt like.

00:04:08I was a fool trapped in their web of lies.

00:04:11Then my phone lit up.

00:04:12One message gave me hope again.

00:04:14We've found your biological parents.

00:04:16We'll pick you up in three days.

00:04:19Thank goodness.

00:04:20Soon, I would have a real family of my own.

00:04:22In three days, I would leave these liars behind.

00:04:25And I would leave Vincent.

00:04:28I turned to go.

00:04:29I couldn't bear their fake smiles for another second.

00:04:32But a voice behind me suddenly called out.

00:04:34Alexia, are you here for my son's first birthday party too?

00:04:38I stopped.

00:04:39Sophia walked toward me with a bright smile.

00:04:42Alexia, I thought you were still angry about father's decision.

00:04:45I'm glad you finally accepted it.

00:04:47By the way, this is our brother's new wife, Camille.

00:04:51You haven't met, have you?

00:04:53You'd already left home when they married.

00:04:56Hello.

00:04:58It's nice to meet you.

00:04:59Camille, my best friend and sister-in-law, gave me a mocking smile before nodding politely.

00:05:04She sounded polite but distant, as if we'd truly never met.

00:05:07Lorenzo watched me from the crowd with a complicated look, but said nothing.

00:05:11Sophia didn't seem to notice Camille's slip.

00:05:14Smiling, she pulled Vincent to her side and pressed close to him.

00:05:18This is my husband.

00:05:19Vincent, his name is Vanessa.

00:05:22I cut her off with a smile.

00:05:24His name is Vanessa, and he owns this villa.

00:05:27Sophia froze.

00:05:28Her gaze darted between Vincent and me.

00:05:31How do you know his name?

00:05:33Do you two know each other?

00:05:34Vincent's face stiffened, and his eyes flashed a warning.

00:05:37I ignored it and smiled as I nodded.

00:05:40Of course.

00:05:41He's my fiancé.

00:05:43We've been together for five years, and we were about to get married.

00:05:46He bought this villa for me, too.

00:05:49Every detail was decorated to suit my taste.

00:05:51Didn't you know?

00:05:56I covered my mouth in feigned surprise.

00:05:58I only mentioned that the air was nice here, and Vincent bought me the entire villa, but

00:06:03I prefer our home in the city, so I rarely come here.

00:06:08That was what I said.

00:06:09But the truth was, I hadn't been the one avoiding this place.

00:06:13Vincetta had always claimed it was too far, and rarely brought me here.

00:06:17Now I finally understood.

00:06:19It was just another lie meant to keep me from discovering the truth.

00:06:23Alexia!

00:06:24I know you hate me, but you can't make up lies like this.

00:06:27I married Vincent at the year father brought me home.

00:06:29How could he possibly be your fiancé?

00:06:31With tears in her eyes, Sophia turned to Vincilla.

00:06:34What is going on?

00:06:35Vincinus, say something!

00:06:38Vinicet hurriedly trossed aside his cigar.

00:06:40Sophia, calm down.

00:06:42Let me explain.

00:06:42Watching him panic, I felt my heart freeze inch by inch.

00:06:45I was the one he'd deceived.

00:06:47Yet Sophia was the one he rushed to reassure.

00:06:49Something inside me finally snapped.

00:06:51A furious scream tore from my throat.

00:06:53Look carefully!

00:06:54The man beside you is my fiancé!

00:06:56He has tattoos across his back and chest.

00:06:58I gave him the gun at his waist on our first anniversary!

00:07:01I pointed at the gun, and Vincent immediately covered it with his hand.

00:07:05My name is engraved on it.

00:07:06I carved it myself.

00:07:07I pulled down my collar and revealed the scar on my shoulder.

00:07:10And this scar?

00:07:11I took a bullet for him when a mission went wrong.

00:07:14He sleeps beside me every night, and eats breakfast with me every morning.

00:07:18I even chose the suit he's wearing!

00:07:20So, my dear sister, you're the other woman.

00:07:24You're the secret lover he's been hiding from me!

00:07:27Alexia, shut up!

00:07:28The moment Sophia cried, all three of them tried to silence me at once.

00:07:32Cold fury churned in Vincent's eyes.

00:07:34Lorenzo and Kamel looked ready to rush over and cover my mouth.

00:07:36I laughed.

00:07:37Am I wrong?

00:07:38Don't tell me none of you knew!

00:07:40How much longer were you planning to deceive me?

00:07:42Vanessa pulled Sophia firmly into his arms.

00:07:45When he spoke to me, his voice was ice cold.

00:07:47Who gave you the right to speak to Sophia that way?

00:07:51She knew nothing.

00:07:52None of this is her fault.

00:07:58Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.

00:08:01Don't you understand?

00:08:02He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.

00:08:04The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.

00:08:08They're the couple who truly love each other.

00:08:10Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia as if afraid I might hurt her.

00:08:13We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.

00:08:15Sophia is father's biological daughter.

00:08:17Only her marriage to Vincita can earn father's blessing.

00:08:19Just walk away.

00:08:20I looked at Lorenzo, the man I'd called my brother for years.

00:08:23Then at my best friend, at the fiancé who'd sworn to love only me,

00:08:25and at Sophia, whose tearful eyes couldn't hide her triumph.

00:08:28My heart felt torn apart.

00:08:29So you convinced father to throw me out?

00:08:31You left me homeless and let people abuse me?

00:08:34Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.

00:08:38However you dress it up, she's still the other woman.

00:08:40Every one of you deceive me.

00:08:41You're all liars!

00:08:42Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.

00:08:47My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.

00:08:49I gave you a chance, Alexia.

00:08:51You're the one who refused it.

00:08:53I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.

00:08:56Don't test my limits.

00:08:57Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.

00:09:01Sunlight filled the room.

00:09:02Through the window, I could see a distant farm and the garden below.

00:09:06Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.

00:09:09He said I deserved the best.

00:09:11But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.

00:09:15Pink wallpaper.

00:09:16A canopy bed draped in sheer fabric.

00:09:18A claying cloud of perfume.

00:09:19A wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.

00:09:22Below it, photo Vinced and smaller pictures.

00:09:24Their baby and family portraits of all three of them.

00:09:26Not a single trace of me remained.

00:09:29Face it, Alessia.

00:09:31Vincent and Sophia are in love.

00:09:33They belong together.

00:09:34He stayed only because you saved his life and he owed you.

00:09:40I shook my head.

00:09:42No!

00:09:43I don't believe you!

00:09:45Camille patted my shoulder with a pitying look.

00:09:47Do you really think Sophia met the Godfather only a year ago?

00:09:50They've been together for three years.

00:09:53He helped her find her biological father.

00:09:55After that, everyone accepted them.

00:09:57She stared into my eyes and delivered the cruelest blow.

00:10:00Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.

00:10:02And throwing you out, that was Vincent's idea.

00:10:05Once you were gone for good, no one could threaten Sophia's place in the family.

00:10:08I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.

00:10:11I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.

00:10:15When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.

00:10:19She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.

00:10:23She'd even warned Vincenza she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.

00:10:26Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.

00:10:28And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.

00:10:31I couldn't hold back anymore.

00:10:33Tears ran down my face.

00:10:35It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.

00:10:38The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.

00:10:40Footsteps sounded behind me.

00:10:42Vincent and Sophie entered the room.

00:10:44I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.

00:10:46If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.

00:10:48Alexa.

00:10:49Calm down, don't say things you'll regret.

00:10:50They spoke together, clearly surprised I would let go so easily.

00:10:53I only smiled and looked at Sophia.

00:10:55I was out of this game before it even began.

00:10:57I wish you both happiness.

00:11:01I turned and left.

00:11:03Vincent reached for me, but I stepped aside before he could grab me.

00:11:07Every betrayal.

00:11:08Every lie.

00:11:10I carved them all into my memory.

00:11:13I would never forgive them.

00:11:15And I would never forget.

00:11:16I was packing my bags when Vincent suddenly returned to our apartment.

00:11:20The moment he saw my suitcase, he exploded.

00:11:22Alessia, what are you doing?

00:11:24Are you moving out?

00:11:25Are you leaving me?

00:11:26I couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask.

00:11:28Shut up.

00:11:29I glared at him and slapped him hard across the face.

00:11:31Listen carefully, Vincent.

00:11:33You left me.

00:11:34You abandoned me.

00:11:35Should I stay until you throw me out yourself?

00:11:38His cheek quickly turned red.

00:11:40He pressed his tongue against the sore spot, but didn't get angry.

00:11:42Instead, he opened his arms and pulled me in an embrace.

00:11:45All right, sweetheart.

00:11:45I was wrong.

00:11:46Hit me or curse me if it helps.

00:11:47Do you feel better now?

00:11:48We've been together for five years.

00:11:49What we had was real.

00:11:50Can you truly let it go that easily?

00:11:52You nearly died saving me.

00:11:53I'll never forget that.

00:11:54And I would never abandon you.

00:11:55Only then did I realize I'd never truly known Vincent.

00:11:59When had he become this shameless and two-faced?

00:12:03I shoved him away and put distance between us.

00:12:06But Vincent only smiled and approached me with open arms again.

00:12:10Sophia is the Romano family's princess.

00:12:12Marrying her gives me more power.

00:12:14You don't even know who your biological father is.

00:12:16How will you survive without me?

00:12:18Vincent had gazed at me with such tenderness, as if he truly cared about my future.

00:12:22Sophia and I already have a child.

00:12:23My position in the family has never been stronger.

00:12:26Stay with me.

00:12:26I can give you everything except the title of wife.

00:12:29I wanted to throw up.

00:12:31Every word from his mouth made me sick.

00:12:33When I didn't answer, Vincent took my silence as consent.

00:12:36Smiling, he stroked my hair.

00:12:38Let me make it up to you.

00:12:39We'll go shopping.

00:12:40And I'll buy you anything you want.

00:12:42Before I could respond, Lorenzo and Camille rushed through the open door.

00:12:49Lorenzo charged at me and slapped me to the floor.

00:12:52Camille seized my collar and screamed in my face.

00:12:54Alexia, where did you hide Sophia's baby?

00:12:57Sophia ran in crying and shook my shoulders.

00:12:59You shook my baby.

00:13:00Didn't you tell me where he is?

00:13:02He's only one.

00:13:03He'll die without me.

00:13:04I'll give Vincent back.

00:13:05I don't want my place in the family either.

00:13:07I'll give you anything.

00:13:08Just return my baby.

00:13:09The smile vanished from Vincent's face.

00:13:11He stepped forward, tense.

00:13:13What do you mean the baby is missing?

00:13:15He disappeared during his nap.

00:13:17He can barely walk.

00:13:18Someone must have taken him.

00:13:21Vincent roared, pulled his gun, and pressed the barrel hard against my forehead.

00:13:25No wonder you were packing to run.

00:13:27You knew what you'd done and planned to flee before we caught you.

00:13:30Tell me, where did you hide him?

00:13:32The cold barrel touched my skin, and my blood seemed to freeze.

00:13:36Years ago, I hadn't feared being outnumbered in a gunfight.

00:13:38I hadn't been afraid when I took a bullet for Vincent.

00:13:41But now, I was truly terrified.

00:13:43Not of dying.

00:13:45I feared I wouldn't live to see them kneel and beg for mercy.

00:13:48I didn't do anything.

00:13:49I've never even seen that baby.

00:13:51Sophia collapsed to the floor, sobbing so hard she almost vanted.

00:13:55If you want revenge, take it out on me!

00:13:58The baby is innocent!

00:13:59If anything happens to him, I can't go on living!

00:14:02Each word tightened Vincent's grip on the gun.

00:14:06Click.

00:14:07He chambered around.

00:14:09In another second, the bullet would go through my head.

00:14:12I really don't know.

00:14:14I had done nothing.

00:14:15How could I confess?

00:14:16Lorenzo stood nearby, his face cold.

00:14:19Even if you were still my sister, I couldn't cover for you.

00:14:21And you're not anymore.

00:14:22He turned to Vincent.

00:14:23Alessia won't talk.

00:14:24Teach her a lesson, or she won't tell us anything.

00:14:26Vanessa nodded and lowered his gun, his eyes terrifyingly cold.

00:14:30And beat her until she talks.

00:14:39I was the daughter of a mafia godfather.

00:14:42The day I met Vincent, he fell in love with me at first sight.

00:14:46The first time, I found a receipt from a luxury boutique in his pocket.

00:14:50It was a gift for another boss's wife.

00:14:52In our world, every courtesy has to be handled properly.

00:14:56I chose to believe him.

00:14:57The second time, I found an earring in his car that wasn't mine.

00:15:01One of his friends claimed it belonged to his girlfriend.

00:15:04And told me not to read into it.

00:15:06Then came a third time, and a fourth.

00:15:08Whenever I found something suspicious, someone always had an excuse ready.

00:15:14The tenth time, I pulled a box of condoms from under our bed and held it up in front of

00:15:18him.

00:15:20Who's are these?

00:15:21We never use this brand.

00:15:23Vincent paused halfway through, nodding his tie.

00:15:26With a weary sigh, he made a call.

00:15:29Lorenzo, when you stayed over last time, did you leave a box of condoms here?

00:15:33Yeah, I've been looking for them.

00:15:36Sorry.

00:15:37Is my sister doubting you again?

00:15:39Then Camille, my sister-in-law, and my best friend started lecturing me.

00:15:42Alexia, trust is the foundation of any relationship.

00:15:47You can't keep doubting Vincent.

00:15:49If you can't trust him, don't marry him.

00:15:52Stop taking Vinicius' love for granted.

00:15:54After the call ended, Vincent spread his hands.

00:15:59Alexia, we should end this.

00:16:01This is the tenth time.

00:16:03Like Camille said, if you can't trust me, maybe we shouldn't.

00:16:05You're right.

00:16:07We're canceling the wedding.

00:16:09Vincent would never have guessed that no one else had left those condoms.

00:16:12I bought them myself and planted them under the bed.

00:16:18That single box was all it took to tear open the ugly truth behind our so-called love.

00:16:24I've canceled the wedding photographer.

00:16:26Don't bother buying the rings.

00:16:27The moment I finished, Vincent tugged at his tie in annoyance.

00:16:30Alexia, how long are you going to keep this up?

00:16:32Even your brother vouched for me.

00:16:34What more do you want?

00:16:35He sat at the other end of the bed with his back to me.

00:16:37If you're sick, see a doctor.

00:16:39But stop suspecting me all day.

00:16:40You're only hurting our relationship.

00:16:43One day, your suspicions will wear away every bit of love I have for you.

00:16:47I'm serious, Alexia.

00:16:49A marriage can't last without trust.

00:16:51Before I could answer, his phone chimed.

00:16:53The instant he read the message, the irritation in his eyes melted into tenderness.

00:16:57But when he looked at me again, his gaze turned cold.

00:17:00I'm busy today.

00:17:02Find something to do so you don't sit around doubting me again.

00:17:04He straightened his tie and left without looking back.

00:17:07I knew Vincent was hiding something.

00:17:09Instead of taking my car, I hailed a cab and followed him.

00:17:13Forty minutes later, the cab stopped outside a villa in the suburbs.

00:17:16Through a window, I saw a living room filled with food and wine.

00:17:20Everyone around the table was painfully familiar.

00:17:22Beside Vincent sat a woman holding a baby.

00:17:25She wore the same earring I'd once found in his car.

00:17:27Her designer dress matched the receipt I'd found in Vincent's pocket.

00:17:31Then I saw her face.

00:17:32I could never forget it.

00:17:33This woman had nearly taken everything from me.

00:17:36A year earlier, my adoptive father, the godfather, found his long-lost biological daughter,

00:17:42Sophia.

00:17:43Only then did I learn I wasn't his real daughter.

00:17:45From that day on, the family shut me out and stripped away every privilege I'd had.

00:17:50They crowned Sophia the princess of the Romano family, and I became the outsider who had

00:17:55stolen her place for years.

00:17:57I couldn't accept it.

00:17:58During one argument, Sophia's bodyguard beat me badly, and my adoptive father threw me out.

00:18:06Now, the brother who had always protected me was carefully cutting Sophia's stake.

00:18:11The best friend who'd sworn to stand by me forever was playing with Sophia's baby.

00:18:15And Vincent, who had just accused me of distrusting him, pulled Sophia into his arms as everyone

00:18:20cheered.

00:18:22The sight made the room spin.

00:18:26After I was thrown out, Vincent promised to care for me for the rest of my life.

00:18:32They all knew I had nowhere to go, yet they still deceived me together.

00:18:36My eyes stung, but I forced back my tears.

00:18:40So this was what betrayal by the people closest to me felt like.

00:18:43I was a fool trapped in their web of lies.

00:18:46Then my phone lit up.

00:18:47One message gave me hope again.

00:18:49We've found your biological parents.

00:18:51We'll pick you up in three days.

00:18:54Thank goodness.

00:18:55Soon, I would have a real family of my own.

00:18:58In three days, I would leave these liars behind.

00:19:00And I would leave Vincent.

00:19:03I turned to go.

00:19:04I couldn't bear their fake smiles for another second.

00:19:07But a voice behind me suddenly called out.

00:19:10Alexia?

00:19:10Are you here for my son's first birthday party too?

00:19:13I stopped.

00:19:14Sophia walked toward me with a bright smile.

00:19:17Alexia?

00:19:18I thought you were still angry about father's decision.

00:19:20I'm glad you finally accepted it.

00:19:22By the way, this is our brother's new wife, Camille.

00:19:26You haven't met, have you?

00:19:28You'd already left home when they married.

00:19:31Hello.

00:19:33It's nice to meet you.

00:19:34Camille, my best friend and sister-in-law, gave me a mocking smile before nodding politely.

00:19:39She sounded polite but distant, as if we'd truly never met.

00:19:42Lorenzo watched me from the crowd with a complicated look, but said nothing.

00:19:46Sophia didn't seem to notice Camille's slip.

00:19:49Smiling, she pulled Vincent to her side and pressed close to him.

00:19:53This is my husband.

00:19:55His name is Vanessa.

00:19:57I cut her off with a smile.

00:19:58His name is Vanessa, and he owns this villa.

00:20:02Sophia froze.

00:20:03Her gaze darted between Vincent and me.

00:20:06How do you know his name?

00:20:07Do you two know each other?

00:20:09Vincent's face stiffened, and his eyes flashed a warning.

00:20:12I ignored it and smiled as I nodded.

00:20:15Of course.

00:20:16He's my fiancé.

00:20:18We've been together for five years, and we were about to get married.

00:20:21He bought this villa for me, too.

00:20:24Every detail was decorated to suit my taste.

00:20:26Didn't you know?

00:20:31I covered my mouth in feigned surprise.

00:20:33I only mentioned that the air was nice here, and Vincent had bought me the entire villa.

00:20:37But I prefer our home in the city, so I rarely come here.

00:20:43That was what I said.

00:20:44But the truth was, I hadn't been the one avoiding this place.

00:20:48Vincetta had always claimed it was too far, and rarely brought me here.

00:20:52Now I finally understood.

00:20:54It was just another lie meant to keep me from discovering the truth.

00:20:58Alexia!

00:20:59I know you hate me, but you can't make up lies like this.

00:21:02I married Vincent at the year father brought me home.

00:21:04How could he possibly be your fiancé?

00:21:06With tears in her eyes, Sophia turned to Vincilla.

00:21:10What is going on?

00:21:10Vincenna, say something!

00:21:13Vinicet hurriedly trossed aside his cigar.

00:21:15Sophia, calm down.

00:21:17Let me explain.

00:21:17Watching him panic, I felt my heart freeze inch by inch.

00:21:20I was the one he'd deceived.

00:21:22Yet Sophia was the one he rushed to reassure.

00:21:24Something inside me finally snapped.

00:21:26A furious scream tore from my throat.

00:21:28Look carefully!

00:21:29The man beside you is my fiancé!

00:21:31He has tattoos across his back and chest.

00:21:33I gave him the gun at his waist on our first anniversary!

00:21:36I pointed at the gun, and Vincent immediately covered it with his hand.

00:21:40My name is engraved on it.

00:21:41I carved it myself.

00:21:42I pulled down my collar and revealed the scar on my shoulder.

00:21:45And this scar?

00:21:46I took a bullet for him when a mission went wrong.

00:21:49He sleeps beside me every night, and eats breakfast with me every morning.

00:21:53I even chose the suit he's wearing!

00:21:55So, my dear sister, you're the other woman.

00:21:59You're the secret lover he's been hiding from me!

00:22:02Alexia, shut up!

00:22:03The moment Sophia cried, all three of them tried to silence me at once.

00:22:07Cold fury churned in Vincent's eyes.

00:22:09Lorenzo and Kamel looked ready to rush over and cover my mouth.

00:22:11I laughed.

00:22:12Am I wrong?

00:22:13Don't tell me none of you knew.

00:22:15How much longer were you planning to deceive me?

00:22:17Vanessa pulled Sophia firmly into his arms.

00:22:20When he spoke to me, his voice was ice cold.

00:22:23Who gave you the right to speak to Sophia that way?

00:22:26She knew nothing.

00:22:27None of this is her fault.

00:22:33Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.

00:22:36Don't you understand?

00:22:37He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.

00:22:39The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.

00:22:43They're the couple who truly love each other.

00:22:45Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia as if afraid I might hurt her.

00:22:48We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.

00:22:50Sophia is father's biological daughter.

00:22:52Only her marriage to Vincitta can earn father's blessing.

00:22:54Just walk away.

00:22:55I looked at Lorenzo, the man I'd called my brother for years.

00:22:58Then at my best friend, at the fiancé who'd sworn to love only me, and at Sophia, whose

00:23:01tearful eyes couldn't hide her triumph.

00:23:03My heart felt torn apart.

00:23:04So you convinced father to throw me out?

00:23:07You left me homeless and let people abuse me?

00:23:09Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.

00:23:13However you dress it up, she's still the other woman.

00:23:15Every one of you deceived me.

00:23:16You're all liars.

00:23:17Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.

00:23:21My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.

00:23:25I gave you a chance, Alexia.

00:23:26You're the one who refused it.

00:23:28I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.

00:23:31Don't test my limits.

00:23:32Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.

00:23:36Sunlight filled the room.

00:23:37Through the window, I could see a distant farm and the garden below.

00:23:41Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.

00:23:44He said I deserved the best.

00:23:46But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.

00:23:50Pink wallpaper.

00:23:51A canopy bed draped in sheer fabric.

00:23:53A claying cloud of perfume.

00:23:54A wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.

00:23:57Below it photo Vincent and smaller pictures.

00:23:59Their baby, and family portraits of all three of them.

00:24:01Not a single trace of me remained.

00:24:04Face it, Alessia.

00:24:06Vincent and Sophia are in love.

00:24:08They belong together.

00:24:10He stayed, only because you saved his life, and he owed you.

00:24:15I shook my head.

00:24:17No!

00:24:18I don't believe you!

00:24:20Camille patted my shoulder with a pitying look.

00:24:22Do you really think Sophia met the Godfather only a year ago?

00:24:26They've been together for three years.

00:24:28He helped her find her biological father.

00:24:30After that, everyone accepted them.

00:24:32She stared into my eyes and delivered the cruelest blow.

00:24:35Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.

00:24:37And throwing you out, that was Vincent's idea.

00:24:40Once you were gone for good, no one could threaten Sophia's place in the family.

00:24:43I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.

00:24:46I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.

00:24:50When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.

00:24:54She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.

00:24:58She'd even warned Vincent'sa she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.

00:25:01Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.

00:25:03And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.

00:25:06I couldn't hold back anymore.

00:25:08Tears ran down my face.

00:25:10It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.

00:25:13The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.

00:25:15Footsteps sounded behind me.

00:25:17Vincent and Sophie entered the room.

00:25:19I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.

00:25:21If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.

00:25:23Alexa.

00:25:24Calm down, don't say things you'll regret.

00:25:25They spoke together, clearly surprised I would let go so easily.

00:25:28I only smiled and looked at Sophia.

00:25:30I was out of this game before it even began.

00:25:32I wish you both happiness.

00:25:36I turned and left.

00:25:38Vincent reached for me, but I stepped aside before he could grab me.

00:25:42Every betrayal, every lie, I carved them all into my memory.

00:25:48I would never forgive them, and I would never forget.

00:25:52I was packing my bags when Vincent suddenly returned to our apartment.

00:25:55The moment he saw my suitcase, he exploded.

00:25:57Alessia, what are you doing?

00:25:59Are you moving out?

00:26:00Are you leaving me?

00:26:01I couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask.

00:26:03Shut up!

00:26:04I glared at him and slapped him hard across the face.

00:26:06Listen carefully, Vincent.

00:26:08You left me.

00:26:09You abandoned me.

00:26:10Should I stay until you throw me out yourself?

00:26:13His cheek quickly turned red.

00:26:15He pressed his tongue against the sore spot, but didn't get angry.

00:26:17Instead, he opened his arms and pulled me into an embrace.

00:26:19All right, sweetheart, I was wrong.

00:26:21Hit me or curse me if it helps.

00:26:22Do you feel better now?

00:26:23We've been together for five years.

00:26:24What we had was real.

00:26:25Can you truly let it go that easily?

00:26:27You nearly died saving me.

00:26:28I'll never forget that, and I would never abandon you.

00:26:30Only then did I realize I'd never truly known Vincent.

00:26:34When had he become this shameless and two-faced?

00:26:38I shoved him away and put distance between us.

00:26:41But Vincent only smiled and approached me with open arms again.

00:26:44Sofia is the Romano family's princess.

00:26:47Marrying her gives me more power.

00:26:49You don't even know who your biological father is.

00:26:51How will you survive without me?

00:26:53Vincent gazed at me with such tenderness, as if he truly cared about my future.

00:26:57Sofia and I already have a child.

00:26:58My position in the family has never been stronger.

00:27:01Stay with me.

00:27:01I can give you everything except the title of wife.

00:27:04I wanted to throw up.

00:27:06Every word from his mouth made me sick.

00:27:08When I didn't answer, Vincent took my silence as consent.

00:27:11Smiling, he stroked my hair.

00:27:13Let me make it up to you.

00:27:14We'll go shopping, and I'll buy you anything you want.

00:27:17Before I could respond, Lorenzo and Camille rushed through the open door.

00:27:24Lorenzo charged at me and slapped me to the floor.

00:27:27Camille seized my collar and screamed in my face.

00:27:30Alexia, where did you hide Sofia's baby?

00:27:32Sofia ran in crying and shook my shoulders.

00:27:35You took my baby, didn't you tell me where he is?

00:27:37He's only one, he'll die without me.

00:27:39I'll give Vincent back.

00:27:40I don't want my place in the family either.

00:27:42I'll give you anything, just return my baby.

00:27:44The smile vanished from Vincent's face.

00:27:46He stepped forward, tense.

00:27:48What do you mean the baby is missing?

00:27:49He disappeared during his nap.

00:27:52He can barely walk.

00:27:53Someone must have taken him.

00:27:56Vincent roared, pulled his gun, and pressed the barrel hard against my forehead.

00:28:00No wonder you were packing to run.

00:28:02You knew what you'd done and planned to flee before we caught you.

00:28:05Tell me, where did you hide him?

00:28:07The cold barrel touched my skin, and my blood seemed to freeze.

00:28:11Years ago, I hadn't feared being outnumbered in a gunfight.

00:28:13I hadn't been afraid when I took a bullet for Vincent.

00:28:16But now, I was truly terrified.

00:28:18Not of dying.

00:28:20I feared I wouldn't live to see them kneel and beg for mercy.

00:28:23I didn't do anything.

00:28:24I've never even seen that baby.

00:28:26Sophia collapsed to the floor, sobbing so hard she almost vanted.

00:28:30If you want revenge, take it out on me!

00:28:33The baby is innocent!

00:28:34If anything happens to him, I can't go on living!

00:28:37Each word tightened Vincent's grip on the gun.

00:28:41Click.

00:28:42He chambered around.

00:28:44In another second, the bullet would go through my head.

00:28:47I really don't know.

00:28:49I had done nothing.

00:28:50How could I confess?

00:28:51Lorenzo stood nearby, his face cold.

00:28:54Even if you were still my sister, I couldn't cover for you.

00:28:56And you're not anymore.

00:28:57He turned to Vincent.

00:28:58Alessia won't talk.

00:28:59Teach her a lesson, or she won't tell us anything.

00:29:01Vanessa nodded and lowered his gun, his eyes terrifyingly cold.

00:29:05Then beat her until she talks.

00:29:09I was the daughter of a mafia godfather.

00:29:12The day I met Vincent, he fell in love with me at first sight.

00:29:16The first time, I found a receipt from a luxury boutique in his pocket.

00:29:20It was a gift for another boss's wife.

00:29:22In our world, every courtesy has to be handled properly.

00:29:26I chose to believe him.

00:29:27The second time, I found an earring in his car that wasn't mine.

00:29:31One of his friends claimed it belonged to his girlfriend.

00:29:35And told me not to read into it.

00:29:36Then came a third time, and a fourth.

00:29:38Whenever I found something suspicious, someone always had an excuse ready.

00:29:44The tenth time, I pulled a box of condoms from under our bed and held it up in front of

00:29:48him.

00:29:50Whose are these?

00:29:51We never use this brand.

00:29:53Vincent paused halfway through, nodding his tie.

00:29:56With a weary sigh, he made a call.

00:29:59Lorenzo, when you stayed over last time, did you leave a box of condoms here?

00:30:03Yeah, I've been looking for them.

00:30:06Sorry.

00:30:07Is my sister doubting you again?

00:30:09Then Camille, my sister-in-law, and my best friend started lecturing me.

00:30:13Alexia, trust is the foundation of any relationship.

00:30:17You can't keep doubting Vincent.

00:30:19If you can't trust him, don't marry him.

00:30:22Stop taking Vincent's love for granted.

00:30:24After the call ended, Vincent spread his hands.

00:30:30Alessia, we should end this.

00:30:31This is the tenth time.

00:30:33Like Camille said, if you can't trust me, maybe we shouldn't.

00:30:36You're right.

00:30:37We're canceling the wedding.

00:30:39Vincent would never have guessed that no one else had left those condoms.

00:30:42I bought them myself and planted them under the bed.

00:30:48That single box was all it took to tear open the ugly truth behind our so-called love.

00:30:54I've canceled the wedding photographer.

00:30:56Don't bother buying the rings.

00:30:57The moment I finished, Vincent tugged at his tie in annoyance.

00:31:00Alexia, how long are you going to keep this up?

00:31:02Even your brother vouched for me.

00:31:04What more do you want?

00:31:05He sat at the other end of the bed with his back to me.

00:31:07If you're sick, see a doctor.

00:31:09But stop suspecting me all day.

00:31:11You're only hurting our relationship.

00:31:12One day, your suspicions will wear away every bit of love I have for you.

00:31:17I'm serious, Alexia.

00:31:19A marriage can't last without trust.

00:31:21Before I could answer, his phone chimed.

00:31:23The instant he read the message, the irritation in his eyes melted into tenderness.

00:31:27But when he looked at me again, his gaze turned cold.

00:31:31I'm busy today.

00:31:32Find something to do so you don't sit around doubting me again.

00:31:34He straightened his tie and left without looking back.

00:31:37I knew Vincent was hiding something.

00:31:39Instead of taking my car, I hailed a cab and followed him.

00:31:43Forty minutes later, the cab stopped outside a villa in the suburbs.

00:31:46Through a window, I saw a living room filled with food and wine.

00:31:50Everyone around the table was painfully familiar.

00:31:52Beside Vincent sat a woman holding a baby.

00:31:55She wore the same earring I'd once found in his car.

00:31:57Her designer dress matched the receipt I'd found in Vincent's pocket.

00:32:01Then I saw her face.

00:32:02I could never forget it.

00:32:03This woman had nearly taken everything from me.

00:32:06A year earlier, my adoptive father, the godfather, found his long-lost biological daughter, Sophia.

00:32:13Only then did I learn I wasn't his real daughter.

00:32:15From that day on, the family shut me out and stripped away every privilege I'd had.

00:32:20They crowned Sophia the princess of the Romano family.

00:32:23And I became the outsider who had stolen her place for years.

00:32:27I couldn't accept it.

00:32:28During one argument, Sophia's bodyguard beat me badly and my adoptive father threw me out.

00:32:36Now, the brother who had always protected me was carefully cutting Sophia's steak.

00:32:41The best friend who'd sworn to stand by me forever was playing with Sophia's baby.

00:32:45And Vincent, who had just accused me of distrusting him, pulled Sophia into his arms as everyone cheered.

00:32:52The sight made the room spin.

00:32:56After I was thrown out, Vincent promised to care for me for the rest of my life.

00:33:02They all knew I had nowhere to go, yet they still deceived me together.

00:33:06My eyes stung, but I forced back my tears.

00:33:10So this was what betrayal by the people closest to me felt like.

00:33:14I was a fool trapped in their web of lies.

00:33:16Then my phone lit up.

00:33:17One message gave me hope again.

00:33:19We've found your biological parents.

00:33:21We'll pick you up in three days.

00:33:24Thank goodness.

00:33:25Soon, I would have a real family of my own.

00:33:27In three days, I would leave these liars behind.

00:33:30And I would leave Vincent.

00:33:33I turned to go.

00:33:34I couldn't bear their fake smiles for another second.

00:33:37But a voice behind me suddenly called out.

00:33:40Alexia, are you here for my son's first birthday party too?

00:33:43I stopped.

00:33:45Sophia walked toward me with a bright smile.

00:33:47Alexia, I thought you were still angry about father's decision.

00:33:50I'm glad you finally accepted it.

00:33:53By the way, this is our brother's new wife, Camille.

00:33:56You haven't met, have you?

00:33:58You'd already left home when they married.

00:34:02Hello.

00:34:03It's nice to meet you.

00:34:04Camille, my best friend and sister-in-law, gave me a mocking smile before nodding politely.

00:34:09She sounded polite but distant, as if we'd truly never met.

00:34:12Lorenzo watched me from the crowd with a complicated look, but said nothing.

00:34:16Sophia didn't seem to notice Camille's slip.

00:34:19Smiling, she pulled Vincent to her side and pressed close to him.

00:34:23This is my husband.

00:34:24Vincent, his name is Vanessa.

00:34:27I cut her off with a smile.

00:34:29His name is Vanessa, and he owns this villa.

00:34:32Sophia froze.

00:34:33Her gaze darted between Vincent and me.

00:34:36How do you know his name?

00:34:38Do you two know each other?

00:34:39Vincent's face stiffened, and his eyes flashed a warning.

00:34:42I ignored it and smiled as I nodded.

00:34:45Of course.

00:34:46He's my fiancé.

00:34:48We've been together for five years, and we were about to get married.

00:34:51He bought this villa for me, too.

00:34:54Every detail was decorated to suit my taste.

00:34:56Didn't you know?

00:35:01I covered my mouth in feigned surprise.

00:35:03I only mentioned that the air was nice here, and Vincent had bought me the entire villa,

00:35:08but I prefer our home in the city, so I rarely come here.

00:35:13That was what I said.

00:35:14But the truth was, I hadn't been the one avoiding this place.

00:35:18Vincetta had always claimed it was too far, and rarely brought me here.

00:35:22Now I finally understood.

00:35:24It was just another lie meant to keep me from discovering the truth.

00:35:28Alexia!

00:35:29I know you hate me, but you can't make up lies like this.

00:35:32I married Vincent since the year father brought me home.

00:35:34How could he possibly be your fiancé?

00:35:36With tears in her eyes, Sophia turned to Vincilla.

00:35:39What is going on?

00:35:40Vincenna, say something!

00:35:43Vinicet hurriedly trossed aside his cigar.

00:35:45Sophia, calm down.

00:35:47Let me explain.

00:35:47Watching him panic, I felt my heart freeze inch by inch.

00:35:50I was the one he'd deceived, yet Sophia was the one he rushed to reassure.

00:35:54Something inside me finally snapped.

00:35:56A furious scream tore from my throat.

00:35:58Look carefully!

00:35:59The man beside you is my fiancé!

00:36:01He has tattoos across his back and chest.

00:36:03I gave him the gun at his waist on our first anniversary!

00:36:06I pointed at the gun, and Vincent immediately covered it with his hand.

00:36:10My name is engraved on it.

00:36:11I carved it myself.

00:36:12I pulled down my collar and revealed the scar on my shoulder.

00:36:15And this scar?

00:36:16I took a bullet for him when a mission went wrong.

00:36:19He sleeps beside me every night and eats breakfast with me every morning.

00:36:23I even chose the suit he's wearing.

00:36:25So, my dear sister, you're the other woman.

00:36:29You're the secret lover he's been hiding from me!

00:36:32Alexia, shut up!

00:36:33The moment Sophia cried, all three of them tried to silence me at once.

00:36:37Cold fury churned in Vincent's eyes.

00:36:39Lorenzo and Kamel looked ready to rush over and cover my mouth.

00:36:41I laughed.

00:36:42Am I wrong?

00:36:43Don't tell me none of you knew!

00:36:45How much longer were you planning to deceive me?

00:36:47Vanessa pulled Sophia firmly into his arms.

00:36:50When he spoke to me, his voice was ice cold.

00:36:53Who gave you the right to speak to Sophia that way?

00:36:56She knew nothing.

00:36:57None of this is her fault.

00:37:03Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.

00:37:06Don't you understand?

00:37:07He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.

00:37:09The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.

00:37:13They're the couple who truly love each other.

00:37:15Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia as if afraid I might hurt her.

00:37:18We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.

00:37:20Sophia is father's biological daughter.

00:37:22Only her marriage to Vincitta can earn father's blessing.

00:37:24Just walk away.

00:37:25I looked at Lorenzo, the man I'd called my brother for years.

00:37:28Then at my best friend, at the fiancé who'd sworn to love only me.

00:37:30And at Sophia, whose tearful eyes couldn't hide her triumph.

00:37:33My heart felt torn apart.

00:37:35So you convinced father to throw me out?

00:37:37You left me homeless and let people abuse me?

00:37:39Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.

00:37:43However you dress it up, she's still the other woman.

00:37:45Every one of you deceived me.

00:37:46You're all liars!

00:37:47Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.

00:37:51My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.

00:37:55I gave you a chance, Alexia.

00:37:56You're the one who refused it.

00:37:58I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.

00:38:01Don't test my limits.

00:38:02Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.

00:38:06Sunlight filled the room.

00:38:07Through the window, I could see a distant farm and the garden below.

00:38:11Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.

00:38:14He said I deserved the best.

00:38:16But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.

00:38:20Pink wallpaper.

00:38:21A canopy bed draped in sheer fabric.

00:38:23A claying cloud of perfume.

00:38:24A wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.

00:38:27Below it photo-vinced in smaller pictures.

00:38:29Their baby and family portraits of all three of them.

00:38:31Not a single trace of me remained.

00:38:34Face it, Alessia.

00:38:36Vincent and Sophia are in love.

00:38:38They belong together.

00:38:40He stayed only because you saved his life, and he owed you.

00:38:45I shook my head.

00:38:47No!

00:38:48I don't believe you!

00:38:50Camille patted my shoulder with a pitying look.

00:38:52Do you really think Sophia met the Godfather only a year ago?

00:38:56They've been together for three years.

00:38:58He helped her find her biological father.

00:39:00After that, everyone accepted them.

00:39:02She stared into my eyes and delivered the cruelest blow.

00:39:05Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.

00:39:07And throwing you out, that was Vincent's idea.

00:39:10Once you were gone for good, no one could threaten Sophia's place in the family.

00:39:13I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.

00:39:16I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.

00:39:20When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.

00:39:24She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.

00:39:28She'd even warned Vincenta she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.

00:39:31Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.

00:39:33And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.

00:39:36I couldn't hold back anymore.

00:39:38Tears ran down my face.

00:39:40It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.

00:39:43The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.

00:39:45Footsteps sounded behind me.

00:39:47Vincent and Sophie entered the room.

00:39:49I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.

00:39:51If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.

00:39:53Alexa.

00:39:54Calm down, don't say things you'll regret.

00:39:55They spoke together, clearly surprised I would let go so easily.

00:39:58I only smiled and looked at Sophia.

00:40:00I was out of this game before it even began.

00:40:02I wish you both happiness.

00:40:06I turned and left.

00:40:08Vincent reached for me, but I stepped aside before he could grab me.

00:40:12Every betrayal, every lie.

00:40:15I carved them all into my memory.

00:40:18I would never forgive them.

00:40:20And I would never forget.

00:40:22I was packing my bags when Vincent suddenly returned to our apartment.

00:40:25The moment he saw my suitcase, he exploded.

00:40:28Alessia, what are you doing?

00:40:29Are you moving out?

00:40:30Are you leaving me?

00:40:31I couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask.

00:40:33Shut up.

00:40:34I glared at him and slapped him hard across the face.

00:40:36Listen carefully, Vincent.

00:40:38You left me.

00:40:39You abandoned me.

00:40:40Should I stay until you throw me out yourself?

00:40:43His cheek quickly turned red.

00:40:45He pressed his tongue against the sore spot, but didn't get angry.

00:40:47Instead, he opened his arms and pulled me in an embrace.

00:40:49All right, sweetheart.

00:40:50I was wrong.

00:40:51Hit me or curse me if it helps.

00:40:52Do you feel better now?

00:40:53We've been together for five years.

00:40:54What we had was real.

00:40:55Can you truly let it go that easily?

00:40:57You nearly died saving me.

00:40:58I'll never forget that.

00:40:59And I would never abandon you.

00:41:00Only then did I realize I'd never truly known Vincent.

00:41:04When had he become this shameless and two-faced?

00:41:08I shoved him away and put distance between us.

00:41:11But Vincent only smiled and approached me with open arms again.

00:41:15Sophia is the Romano family's princess.

00:41:17Marrying her gives me more power.

00:41:19You don't even know who your biological father is.

00:41:21How will you survive without me?

00:41:23Vincent had gazed at me with such tenderness, as if he truly cared about my future.

00:41:27Sophia and I already have a child.

00:41:28My position in the family has never been stronger.

00:41:31Stay with me.

00:41:31I can give you everything except the title of wife.

00:41:34I wanted to throw up.

00:41:36Every word from his mouth made me sick.

00:41:38When I didn't answer, Vincent took my silence as consent.

00:41:41Smiling, he stroked my hair.

00:41:43Let me make it up to you.

00:41:45We'll go shopping.

00:41:45And I'll buy you anything you want.

00:41:47Before I could respond, Lorenzo and Camille rushed through the open door.

00:41:54Lorenzo charged at me and slapped me to the floor.

00:41:57Camille seized my collar and screamed in my face.

00:42:00Alexia!

00:42:00Where did you hide Sophia's baby?

00:42:02Sophia ran in crying and shook my shoulders.

00:42:04You took my baby.

00:42:05Didn't you tell me where he is?

00:42:07He's only one.

00:42:08He'll die without me.

00:42:09I'll give Vincent back.

00:42:10I don't want my place in the family either.

00:42:12I'll give you anything.

00:42:13Just return my baby.

00:42:14The smile vanished from Vincent's face.

00:42:16He stepped forward, tense.

00:42:18What do you mean the baby is missing?

00:42:20He disappeared during his nap.

00:42:22He can barely walk.

00:42:24Someone must have taken him.

00:42:26Vincent roared, pulled his gun, and pressed the barrel hard against my forehead.

00:42:30No wonder you were packing to run.

00:42:32You knew what you'd done and planned to flee before we caught you.

00:42:35Tell me!

00:42:36Where did you hide him?

00:42:37The cold barrel touched my skin, and my blood seemed to freeze.

00:42:41Years ago, I hadn't feared being outnumbered in a gunfight.

00:42:43I hadn't been afraid when I took a bullet for Vincent.

00:42:46But now, I was truly terrified.

00:42:48Not of dying.

00:42:49I feared I wouldn't live to see them kneel and beg for mercy.

00:42:53I didn't do anything.

00:42:54I've never even seen that baby.

00:42:56Sophia collapsed to the floor, sobbing so hard she almost vanted.

00:43:00If you want revenge, take it out on me!

00:43:03The baby is innocent!

00:43:04If anything happens to him, I can't go on living!

00:43:07Each word tightened Vincent's grip on the gun.

00:43:11Click.

00:43:12He chambered around.

00:43:14In another second, the bullet would go through my head.

00:43:17I really don't know.

00:43:19I had done nothing.

00:43:20How could I confess?

00:43:21Lorenzo stood nearby, his face cold.

00:43:24Even if you were still my sister, I couldn't cover for you.

00:43:26And you're not anymore.

00:43:27He turned to Vincent.

00:43:28Alessia won't talk.

00:43:29Teach her a lesson, or she won't tell us anything.

00:43:31Vanessa nodded and lowered his gun, his eyes terrifyingly cold.

00:43:35Then beat her until she talks.

00:43:39I was the daughter of a mafia godfather.

00:43:42The day I met Vincent, he fell in love with me at first sight.

00:43:46The first time, I found a receipt from a luxury boutique in his pocket.

00:43:50It was a gift for another boss's wife.

00:43:52In our world, every courtesy has to be handled properly.

00:43:56I chose to believe him.

00:43:57The second time, I found an earring in his car that wasn't mine.

00:44:01One of his friends claimed it belonged to his girlfriend.

00:44:05And told me not to read into it.

00:44:06Then came a third time, and a fourth.

00:44:08Whenever I found something suspicious, someone always had an excuse ready.

00:44:14The tenth time, I pulled a box of condoms from under our bed and held it up in front of

00:44:18him.

00:44:20Whose are these?

00:44:21We never use this brand.

00:44:23Vincent paused halfway through, knotting his tie.

00:44:26With a weary sigh, he made a call.

00:44:29Lorenzo, when you stayed over last time, did you leave a box of condoms here?

00:44:33Yeah, I've been looking for them.

00:44:36Sorry.

00:44:37Is my sister doubting you again?

00:44:39Then Camille, my sister-in-law, and my best friend started lecturing me.

00:44:43Alexia, trust is the foundation of any relationship.

00:44:47You can't keep doubting Vincent.

00:44:49If you can't trust him, don't marry him.

00:44:52Stop taking Vincent's love for granted.

00:44:54After the call ended, Vincent spread his hands.

00:45:00Alessia, we should end this.

00:45:01This is the tenth time.

00:45:03Like Camille said, if you can't trust me, maybe we shouldn't.

00:45:06You're right.

00:45:07We're cancelling the wedding.

00:45:09Vincent would never have guessed that no one else had left those condoms.

00:45:12I bought them myself and planted them under the bed.

00:45:18That single box was all it took to tear open the ugly truth behind our so-called love.

00:45:24I've cancelled the wedding photographer.

00:45:26Don't bother buying the rings.

00:45:27The moment I finished, Vincent tugged at his tie in annoyance.

00:45:31Alexia, how long are you going to keep this up?

00:45:32Even your brother vouched for me.

00:45:34What more do you want?

00:45:35He sat at the other end of the bed with his back to me.

00:45:37If you're sick, see a doctor.

00:45:39But stop suspecting me all day.

00:45:41You're only hurting our relationship.

00:45:43One day, your suspicions will wear away every bit of love I have for you.

00:45:47I'm serious, Alexia.

00:45:49A marriage can't last without trust.

00:45:51Before I could answer, his phone chimed.

00:45:53The instant he read the message, the irritation in his eyes melted into tenderness.

00:45:58But when he looked at me again, his gaze turned cold.

00:46:01I'm busy today.

00:46:02Find something to do so you don't sit around doubting me again.

00:46:04He straightened his tie and left without looking back.

00:46:07I knew Vincent was hiding something.

00:46:09Instead of taking my car, I hailed a cab and followed him.

00:46:13Forty minutes later, the cab stopped outside a villa in the suburbs.

00:46:16Through a window, I saw a living room filled with food and wine.

00:46:20Everyone around the table was painfully familiar.

00:46:22Beside Vincent sat a woman holding a baby.

00:46:25She wore the same earring I'd once found in his car.

00:46:27Her designer dress matched the receipt I'd found in Vincent's pocket.

00:46:31Then I saw her face.

00:46:32I could never forget it.

00:46:33This woman had nearly taken everything from me.

00:46:36A year earlier, my adoptive father, the godfather, found his long-lost biological daughter, Sophia.

00:46:43Only then did I learn I wasn't his real daughter.

00:46:45From that day on, the family shut me out and stripped away every privilege I'd had.

00:46:50They crowned Sophia the princess of the Romano family.

00:46:53And I became the outsider who had stolen her place for years.

00:46:57I couldn't accept it.

00:46:58During one argument, Sophia's bodyguard beat me badly and my adoptive father threw me out.

00:47:06Now, the brother who had always protected me was carefully cutting Sophia's steak.

00:47:11The best friend who'd sworn to stand by me forever was playing with Sophia's baby.

00:47:15And Vincent, who had just accused me of distrusting him, pulled Sophia into his arms as everyone cheered.

00:47:22The sight made the room spin.

00:47:26After I was thrown out, Vincent promised to care for me for the rest of my life.

00:47:32They all knew I had nowhere to go, yet they still deceived me together.

00:47:36My eyes stung, but I forced back my tears.

00:47:40So this was what betrayal by the people closest to me felt like.

00:47:44I was a fool trapped in their web of lies.

00:47:46Then my phone lit up.

00:47:48One message gave me hope again.

00:47:49We've found your biological parents.

00:47:52We'll pick you up in three days.

00:47:54Thank goodness.

00:47:55Soon, I would have a real family of my own.

00:47:57In three days, I would leave these liars behind.

00:48:00And I would leave Vincent.

00:48:03I turned to go.

00:48:04I couldn't bear their fake smiles for another second.

00:48:07But a voice behind me suddenly called out.

00:48:10Alexia, are you here for my son's first birthday party too?

00:48:13I stopped.

00:48:15Sophia walked toward me with a bright smile.

00:48:17Alexia, I thought you were still angry about father's decision.

00:48:20I'm glad you finally accepted it.

00:48:23By the way, this is our brother's new wife, Camille.

00:48:26You haven't met, have you?

00:48:28You'd already left home when they married.

00:48:32Hello.

00:48:33It's nice to meet you.

00:48:34Camille, my best friend and sister-in-law, gave me a mocking smile before nodding politely.

00:48:39She sounded polite but distant, as if we'd truly never met.

00:48:42Lorenzo watched me from the crowd with a complicated look, but said nothing.

00:48:46Sophia didn't seem to notice Camille's slip.

00:48:49Smiling, she pulled Vincent to her side and pressed close to him.

00:48:53This is my husband.

00:48:55His name is Vanessa.

00:48:57I cut her off with a smile.

00:48:58His name is Vanessa, and he owns this villa.

00:49:02Sophia froze.

00:49:03Her gaze darted between Vincent and me.

00:49:06How do you know his name?

00:49:08Do you two know each other?

00:49:09Vincent's face stiffened, and his eyes flashed a warning.

00:49:12I ignored it and smiled as I nodded.

00:49:15Of course.

00:49:16He's my fiancé.

00:49:18We've been together for five years, and we were about to get married.

00:49:21He bought this villa for me, too.

00:49:24Every detail was decorated to suit my taste.

00:49:26Didn't you know?

00:49:31I covered my mouth in feigned surprise.

00:49:33I only mentioned that the air was nice here, and Vincent had bought me the entire villa,

00:49:38but I prefer our home in the city, so I rarely come here.

00:49:43That was what I said.

00:49:44But the truth was, I hadn't been the one avoiding this place.

00:49:48Vincetta had always claimed it was too far, and rarely brought me here.

00:49:52Now I finally understood.

00:49:54It was just another lie meant to keep me from discovering the truth.

00:49:59Alexia!

00:49:59I know you hate me, but you can't make up lies like this.

00:50:02I married Vincent at the year father brought me home.

00:50:04How could he possibly be your fiancé?

00:50:06With tears in her eyes, Sophia turned to Vincilla.

00:50:09What is going on?

00:50:10Vincinus, say something!

00:50:13Vinitzit hurriedly trossed aside his cigar.

00:50:15Sophia, calm down.

00:50:17Let me explain.

00:50:17Watching him panic, I felt my heart freeze inch by inch.

00:50:20I was the one he'd deceived.

00:50:22Yet Sophia was the one he rushed to reassure.

00:50:24Something inside me finally snapped.

00:50:26A furious scream tore from my throat.

00:50:28Look carefully!

00:50:29The man beside you is my fiancé!

00:50:31He has tattoos across his back and chest.

00:50:33I gave him the gun at his waist on our first anniversary!

00:50:36I pointed at the gun, and Vincent immediately covered it with his hand.

00:50:40My name is engraved on it.

00:50:41I carved it myself.

00:50:42I pulled down my collar and revealed the scar on my shoulder.

00:50:45And this scar?

00:50:47I took a bullet for him when a mission went wrong.

00:50:49He sleeps beside me every night and eats breakfast with me every morning.

00:50:53I even chose the suit he's wearing!

00:50:55So, my dear sister, you're the other woman.

00:50:59You're the secret lover he's been hiding from me!

00:51:02Alexia, shut up!

00:51:03The moment Sophia cried, all three of them tried to silence me at once.

00:51:07Cold fury churned in Vincent's eyes.

00:51:09Lorenzo and Kamel looked ready to rush over and cover my mouth.

00:51:11I laughed.

00:51:12Am I wrong?

00:51:13Don't tell me none of you knew!

00:51:15How much longer were you planning to deceive me?

00:51:17Vanessa pulled Sophia firmly into his arms.

00:51:20When he spoke to me, his voice was ice cold.

00:51:22Who gave you the right to speak to Sophia that way?

00:51:26She knew nothing.

00:51:27None of this is her fault.

00:51:33Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.

00:51:36Don't you understand?

00:51:37He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.

00:51:39The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.

00:51:43They're the couple who truly love each other.

00:51:45Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia as if afraid I might hurt her.

00:51:48We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.

00:51:50Sophia is father's biological daughter.

00:51:52Only her marriage to Vincita can earn father's blessing.

00:51:54Just walk away.

00:51:55I looked at Lorenzo, the man I'd called my brother for years.

00:51:58Then at my best friend, at the fiancé who'd sworn to love only me.

00:52:00And at Sophia, whose tearful eyes couldn't hide her triumph.

00:52:03My heart felt torn apart.

00:52:05So you convinced father to throw me out?

00:52:07You left me homeless and let people abuse me?

00:52:09Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.

00:52:13However you dress it up, she's still the other woman.

00:52:15Every one of you deceived me.

00:52:16You're all liars!

00:52:17Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.

00:52:22My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.

00:52:25I gave you a chance, Alexia.

00:52:26You're the one who refused it.

00:52:28I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.

00:52:31Don't test my limits.

00:52:33Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.

00:52:36Sunlight filled the room.

00:52:38Through the window, I could see a distant farm and the garden below.

00:52:41Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.

00:52:44He said I deserved the best.

00:52:46But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.

00:52:50Pink wallpaper.

00:52:51A canopy bed draped in sheer fabric.

00:52:53A claying cloud of perfume.

00:52:54A wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.

00:52:57Below it photo of Vincent and smaller pictures.

00:52:59Their baby, and family portraits of all three of them.

00:53:01Not a single trace of me remained.

00:53:05Face it, Alessia.

00:53:06Vincent and Sophia are in love.

00:53:08They belong together.

00:53:09He stayed, only because you saved his life, and he owed you.

00:53:15I shook my head.

00:53:17No!

00:53:18I don't believe you!

00:53:20Camille patted my shoulder with a pitying look.

00:53:22Do you really think Sophia met the Godfather only a year ago?

00:53:26They've been together for three years.

00:53:28He helped her find her biological father.

00:53:30After that, everyone accepted them.

00:53:32She stared into my eyes and delivered the cruelest blow.

00:53:35Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.

00:53:37And throwing you out, that was Vincent's idea.

00:53:40Once you were gone for good, no one could threaten Sophia's place in the family.

00:53:44I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.

00:53:46I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.

00:53:50When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.

00:53:54She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.

00:53:58She'd even warned Vincenza she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.

00:54:01Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.

00:54:04And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.

00:54:06I couldn't hold back anymore.

00:54:08Tears ran down my face.

00:54:10It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.

00:54:13The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.

00:54:15Footsteps sounded behind me.

00:54:17Vincent and Sophie entered the room.

00:54:19I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.

00:54:21If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.

00:54:23Alexa.

00:54:24Calm down, don't say things you'll regret.

00:54:25They spoke together, clearly surprised I would let go so easily.

00:54:28I only smiled and looked at Sophia.

00:54:30I was out of this game before it even began.

00:54:32I wish you both happiness.

00:54:36I turned and left.

00:54:38Vincent reached for me, but I stepped aside before he could grab me.

00:54:42Every betrayal, every lie, I carved them all into my memory.

00:54:48I would never forgive them.

00:54:50And I would never forget.

00:54:52I was packing my bags when Vincent suddenly returned to our apartment.

00:54:55The moment he saw my suitcase, he exploded.

00:54:58Alessia, what are you doing?

00:54:59Are you moving out?

00:55:00Are you leaving me?

00:55:01I couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask.

00:55:03Shut up.

00:55:04I glared at him and slapped him hard across the face.

00:55:06Listen carefully, Vincent.

00:55:08You left me.

00:55:09You abandoned me.

00:55:10Should I stay until you throw me out yourself?

00:55:13His cheek quickly turned red.

00:55:15He pressed his tongue against the sore spot, but didn't get angry.

00:55:18Instead, he opened his arms and pulled me into an embrace.

00:55:20All right, sweetheart, I was wrong.

00:55:21Hit me or curse me if it helps.

00:55:22Do you feel better now?

00:55:23We've been together for five years.

00:55:24What we had was real.

00:55:25Can you truly let it go that easily?

00:55:27You nearly died saving me.

00:55:28I'll never forget that.

00:55:29And I would never abandon you.

00:55:30Only then did I realize I'd never truly known Vincent.

00:55:34When had he become this shameless and two-faced?

00:55:38I shoved him away and put distance between us.

00:55:41But Vincent only smiled and approached me with open arms again.

00:55:45Sophia is the Romano family's princess.

00:55:47Marrying her gives me more power.

00:55:49You don't even know who your biological father is.

00:55:51How will you survive without me?

00:55:53Vincent had gazed at me with such tenderness, as if he truly cared about my future.

00:55:57Sophia and I already have a child.

00:55:58My position in the family has never been stronger.

00:56:01Stay with me.

00:56:01I can give you everything except the title of wife.

00:56:04I wanted to throw up.

00:56:06Every word from his mouth made me sick.

00:56:08When I didn't answer, Vincent took my silence as consent.

00:56:11Smiling, he stroked my hair.

00:56:13Let me make it up to you.

00:56:14We'll go shopping.

00:56:15And I'll buy you anything you want.

00:56:17Before I could respond, Lorenzo and Camille rushed through the open door.

00:56:24Lorenzo charged at me and slapped me to the floor.

00:56:27Camille seized my collar and screamed in my face.

00:56:30Alexia, where did you hide Sophia's baby?

00:56:32Sophia ran in crying and shook my shoulders.

00:56:35You took my baby.

00:56:35Didn't you tell me where he is?

00:56:37He's only one.

00:56:38He'll die without me.

00:56:39I'll give Vincent back.

00:56:40I don't want my place in the family either.

00:56:42I'll give you anything.

00:56:43Just return my baby.

00:56:44The smile vanished from Vincent's face.

00:56:46He stepped forward, tense.

00:56:48What do you mean the baby is missing?

00:56:50He disappeared during his nap.

00:56:52He can barely walk.

00:56:54Someone must have taken him.

00:56:56Vincent roared, pulled his gun, and pressed the barrel hard against my forehead.

00:57:00No wonder you were packing to run.

00:57:02You knew what you'd done and planned to flee before we caught you.

00:57:05Tell me, where did you hide him?

00:57:07The cold barrel touched my skin, and my blood seemed to freeze.

00:57:11Years ago, I hadn't feared being outnumbered in a gunfight.

00:57:13I hadn't been afraid when I took a bullet for Vincent.

00:57:16But now, I was truly terrified.

00:57:18Not of dying.

00:57:19I feared I wouldn't live to see them kneel and beg for mercy.

00:57:23I didn't do anything.

00:57:24I've never even seen that baby.

00:57:26Sophia collapsed to the floor, sobbing so hard she almost vanted.

00:57:30If you want revenge, take it out on me!

00:57:33The baby is innocent!

00:57:34If anything happens to him, I can't go on living!

00:57:37Each word tightened Vincent's grip on the gun.

00:57:41Click.

00:57:42He chambered around.

00:57:44In another second, the bullet would go through my head.

00:57:47I really don't know.

00:57:49I had done nothing.

00:57:50How could I confess?

00:57:51Lorenzo stood nearby, his face cold.

00:57:54Even if you were still my sister, I couldn't cover for you.

00:57:56And you're not anymore.

00:57:57He turned to Vincent.

00:57:58Alessia won't talk.

00:57:59Teach her a lesson, or she won't tell us anything.

00:58:01Vanessa nodded and lowered his gun, his eyes terrifyingly cold.

00:58:05Then beat her until she talks.

00:58:09I was the daughter of a mafia godfather.

00:58:12The day I met Vincent, he fell in love with me at first sight.

00:58:16The first time, I found a receipt from a luxury boutique in his pocket.

00:58:20It was a gift for another boss's wife.

00:58:22In our world, every courtesy has to be handled properly.

00:58:26I chose to believe him.

00:58:27The second time, I found an earring in his car that wasn't mine.

00:58:31One of his friends claimed it belonged to his girlfriend.

00:58:35And told me not to read into it.

00:58:36Then came a third time, and a fourth.

00:58:39Whenever I found something suspicious, someone always had an excuse ready.

00:58:44The tenth time, I pulled a box of condoms from under our bed and held it up in front of

00:58:48him.

00:58:50Whose are these?

00:58:51We never use this brand.

00:58:53Vincent paused halfway through, nodding his tie.

00:58:56With a weary sigh, he made a call.

00:58:59Lorenzo, when you stayed over last time, did you leave a box of condoms here?

00:59:03Yeah, I've been looking for them.

00:59:06Sorry.

00:59:07Is my sister doubting you again?

00:59:09Then Camille, my sister-in-law, and my best friend started lecturing me.

00:59:13Alexia, trust is the foundation of any relationship.

00:59:17You can't keep doubting Vincent.

00:59:19If you can't trust him, don't marry him.

00:59:22Stop taking Vincent's love for granted.

00:59:24After the call ended, Vincent spread his hands.

00:59:30Alessia, we should end this.

00:59:31This is the tenth time.

00:59:33Like Camille said, if you can't trust me, maybe we shouldn't.

00:59:36You're right.

00:59:37We're cancelling the wedding.

00:59:39Vincent would never have guessed that no one else had left those condoms.

00:59:42I bought them myself and planted them under the bed.

00:59:48That single box was all it took to tear open the ugly truth behind our so-called love.

00:59:54I've cancelled the wedding photographer.

00:59:56Don't bother buying the rings.

00:59:57The moment I finished, Vincent tugged at his tie in annoyance.

01:00:01Alexia, how long are you going to keep this up?

01:00:02Even your brother vouched for me.

01:00:04What more do you want?

01:00:05He sat at the other end of the bed with his back to me.

01:00:07If you're sick, see a doctor.

01:00:09But stop suspecting me all day.

01:00:11You're only hurting our relationship.

01:00:13One day, your suspicions will wear away every bit of love I have for you.

01:00:17I'm serious, Alexia.

01:00:19A marriage can't last without trust.

01:00:21Before I could answer, his phone chimed.

01:00:23The instant he read the message, the irritation in his eyes melted into tenderness.

01:00:28But when he looked at me again, his gaze turned cold.

01:00:31I'm busy today.

01:00:32Find something to do so you don't sit around doubting me again.

01:00:34He straightened his tie and left without looking back.

01:00:37I knew Vincent was hiding something.

01:00:39Instead of taking my car, I hailed a cab and followed him.

01:00:43Forty minutes later, the cab stopped outside a villa in the suburbs.

01:00:46Through a window, I saw a living room filled with food and wine.

01:00:50Everyone around the table was painfully familiar.

01:00:52Beside Vincent sat a woman holding a baby.

01:00:55She wore the same earring I'd once found in his car.

01:00:57Her designer dress matched the receipt I'd found in Vincent's pocket.

01:01:01Then I saw her face.

01:01:02I could never forget it.

01:01:03This woman had nearly taken everything from me.

01:01:06A year earlier, my adoptive father, the godfather, found his long-lost biological daughter, Sophia.

01:01:13Only then did I learn I wasn't his real daughter.

01:01:15From that day on, the family shut me out and stripped away every privilege I'd had.

01:01:20They crowned Sophia the princess of the Romano family.

01:01:23And I became the outsider who had stolen her place for years.

01:01:27I couldn't accept it.

01:01:28During one argument, Sophia's bodyguard beat me badly and my adoptive father threw me out.

01:01:36Now, the brother who had always protected me was carefully cutting Sophia's steak.

01:01:41The best friend who'd sworn to stand by me forever was playing with Sophia's baby.

01:01:45And Vincent, who had just accused me of distrusting him, pulled Sophia into his arms as everyone cheered.

01:01:52The sight made the room spin.

01:01:56After I was thrown out, Vincent promised to care for me for the rest of my life.

01:02:02They all knew I had nowhere to go, yet they still deceived me together.

01:02:06My eyes stung, but I forced back my tears.

01:02:10So this was what betrayal by the people closest to me felt like.

01:02:14I was a fool trapped in their web of lies.

01:02:16Then my phone lit up.

01:02:18One message gave me hope again.

01:02:20We've found your biological parents.

01:02:22We'll pick you up in three days.

01:02:24Thank goodness.

01:02:25Soon, I would have a real family of my own.

01:02:27In three days, I would leave these liars behind.

01:02:30And I would leave Vincent.

01:02:33I turned to go.

01:02:34I couldn't bear their fake smiles for another second.

01:02:37But a voice behind me suddenly called out.

01:02:40Alexia, are you here for my son's first birthday party too?

01:02:43I stopped.

01:02:45Sophia walked toward me with a bright smile.

01:02:47Alexia, I thought you were still angry about father's decision.

01:02:50I'm glad you finally accepted it.

01:02:53By the way, this is our brother's new wife, Camille.

01:02:56You haven't met, have you?

01:02:58You'd already left home when they married.

01:03:02Hello.

01:03:03It's nice to meet you.

01:03:04Camille, my best friend and sister-in-law, gave me a mocking smile before nodding politely.

01:03:09She sounded polite but distant, as if we'd truly never met.

01:03:12Lorenzo watched me from the crowd with a complicated look, but said nothing.

01:03:16Sophia didn't seem to notice Camille's slip.

01:03:19Smiling, she pulled Vincent to her side and pressed close to him.

01:03:23This is my husband.

01:03:25His name is Vanessa.

01:03:27I cut her off with a smile.

01:03:28His name is Vanessa, and he owns this villa.

01:03:32Sophia froze.

01:03:33Her gaze darted between Vincent and me.

01:03:36How do you know his name?

01:03:38Do you two know each other?

01:03:39Vincent's face stiffened, and his eyes flashed a warning.

01:03:42I ignored it and smiled as I nodded.

01:03:45Of course.

01:03:46He's my fiancé.

01:03:48We've been together for five years, and we were about to get married.

01:03:51He bought this villa for me, too.

01:03:54Every detail was decorated to suit my taste.

01:03:56Didn't you know?

01:04:01I covered my mouth in feigned surprise.

01:04:03I only mentioned that the air was nice here, and Vincent bought me the entire villa, but

01:04:08I prefer our home in the city, so I rarely come here.

01:04:13That was what I said.

01:04:14But the truth was, I hadn't been the one avoiding this place.

01:04:19Vincetta had always claimed it was too far, and rarely brought me here.

01:04:22Now I finally understood.

01:04:24It was just another lie meant to keep me from discovering the truth.

01:04:29Alexia!

01:04:29I know you hate me, but you can't make up lies like this.

01:04:32I married Vincent since the year father brought me home.

01:04:34How could he possibly be your fiancé?

01:04:36With tears in her eyes, Sophia turned to Vincilla.

01:04:39What is going on?

01:04:40Vincinus, say something!

01:04:43Vinicet hurriedly trossed aside his cigar.

01:04:45Sophia, calm down.

01:04:47Let me explain.

01:04:47Watching him panic, I felt my heart freeze inch by inch.

01:04:50I was the one he'd deceived.

01:04:52Yet Sophia was the one he rushed to reassure.

01:04:54Something inside me finally snapped.

01:04:56A furious scream tore from my throat.

01:04:58Look carefully!

01:04:59The man beside you is my fiancé!

01:05:01He has tattoos across his back and chest.

01:05:03I gave him the gun at his waist on our first anniversary!

01:05:06I pointed at the gun, and Vincenet immediately covered it with his hand.

01:05:10My name is engraved on it.

01:05:11I carved it myself.

01:05:13I pulled down my collar and revealed the scar on my shoulder.

01:05:15And this scar?

01:05:16I took a bullet for him when a mission went wrong.

01:05:19He sleeps beside me every night and eats breakfast with me every morning.

01:05:23I even chose the suit he's wearing!

01:05:25So, my dear sister, you're the other woman.

01:05:29You're the secret lover he's been hiding from me!

01:05:32Alexia, shut up!

01:05:33The moment Sophia cried, all three of them tried to silence me at once.

01:05:37Cold fury churned in Vincent's eyes.

01:05:39Lorenzo and Kamel looked ready to rush over and cover my mouth.

01:05:42I laughed.

01:05:42Am I wrong?

01:05:43Don't tell me none of you knew.

01:05:45How much longer were you planning to deceive me?

01:05:47Vanessa pulled Sophia firmly into his arms.

01:05:50When he spoke to me, his voice was ice cold.

01:05:53Who gave you the right to speak to Sophia that way?

01:05:56She knew nothing.

01:05:57None of this is her fault.

01:06:03Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.

01:06:06Don't you understand?

01:06:07He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.

01:06:09The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.

01:06:13They're the couple who truly love each other.

01:06:15Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia as if afraid I might hurt her.

01:06:18We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.

01:06:20Sophia is father's biological daughter.

01:06:22Only her marriage to Vincita can earn father's blessing.

01:06:24Just walk away.

01:06:25I looked at Lorenzo, the man I'd called my brother for years.

01:06:28Then at my best friend, at the fiancé who'd sworn to love only me.

01:06:30And at Sophia, whose tearful eyes couldn't hide her triumph.

01:06:33My heart felt torn apart.

01:06:35So you convinced father to throw me out?

01:06:36You left me homeless and let people abuse me?

01:06:39Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.

01:06:43However you dress it up, she's still the other woman.

01:06:45Every one of you deceived me.

01:06:46You're all liars.

01:06:48Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.

01:06:51My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.

01:06:54I gave you a chance, Alexia.

01:06:56You're the one who refused it.

01:06:58I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.

01:07:01Don't test my limits.

01:07:03Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.

01:07:06Sunlight filled the room.

01:07:08Through the window, I could see a distant farm and the garden below.

01:07:11Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.

01:07:14He said I deserve the best.

01:07:16But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.

01:07:20Pink wallpaper.

01:07:21A canopy bed draped in sheer fabric.

01:07:23A claying cloud of perfume.

01:07:24A wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.

01:07:27Below it, photo-vinced and smaller pictures.

01:07:29Their baby, and family portraits of all three of them.

01:07:31Not a single trace of me remained.

01:07:34Face it, Alessia.

01:07:36Vincent and Sophia are in love.

01:07:38They belong together.

01:07:40He stayed only because you saved his life, and he owed you.

01:07:45I shook my head.

01:07:47No!

01:07:48I don't believe you!

01:07:50Camille patted my shoulder with a pitying look.

01:07:52Do you really think Sophia met the Godfather only a year ago?

01:07:55They've been together for three years.

01:07:58He helped her find her biological father.

01:08:00After that, everyone accepted them.

01:08:02She stared into my eyes and delivered the cruelest blow.

01:08:05Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.

01:08:07And throwing you out, that was Vincent's idea.

01:08:10Once you were gone for good, no one could threaten Sophia's place in the family.

01:08:14I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.

01:08:16I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.

01:08:20When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.

01:08:24She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.

01:08:28She'd even warned Vincenza she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.

01:08:31Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.

01:08:34And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.

01:08:36I couldn't hold back anymore.

01:08:38Tears ran down my face.

01:08:40It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.

01:08:43The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.

01:08:45Footsteps sounded behind me.

01:08:47Vincent and Sophie entered the room.

01:08:49I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.

01:08:51If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.

01:08:53Alexa.

01:08:54Calm down, don't say things you'll regret.

01:08:55They spoke together, clearly surprised I would let go so easily.

01:08:58I only smiled and looked at Sophia.

01:09:00I was out of this game before it even began.

01:09:02I wish you both happiness.

01:09:07I turned and left.

01:09:09Vincent reached for me, but I stepped aside before he could grab me.

01:09:12Every betrayal, every lie.

01:09:16I carved them all into my memory.

01:09:18I would never forgive them, and I would never forget.

01:09:21I was packing my bags when Vincent suddenly returned to our apartment.

01:09:25The moment he saw my suitcase, he exploded.

01:09:28Alessia, what are you doing?

01:09:29Are you moving out?

01:09:30Are you leaving me?

01:09:31I couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask.

01:09:33Shut up!

01:09:34I glared at him and slapped him hard across the face.

01:09:36Listen carefully, Vincent.

01:09:38You left me.

01:09:39You abandoned me.

01:09:41Should I stay until you throw me out yourself?

01:09:43His cheek quickly turned red.

01:09:45He pressed his tongue against the sore spot, but didn't get angry.

01:09:47Instead, he opened his arms and pulled me into an embrace.

01:09:50All right, sweetheart.

01:09:50I was wrong.

01:09:51Hit me or curse me if it helps.

01:09:52Do you feel better now?

01:09:53We've been together for five years.

01:09:54What we had was real.

01:09:55Can you truly let it go that easily?

01:09:57You nearly died saving me.

01:09:58I'll never forget that, and I would never abandon you.

01:10:00Only then did I realize I'd never truly known Vincent.

01:10:04When had he become this shameless and two-faced?

01:10:08I shoved him away and put distance between us.

01:10:11But Vincent only smiled and approached me with open arms again.

01:10:15Sofia is the Romano family's princess.

01:10:17Marrying her gives me more power.

01:10:19You don't even know who your biological father is.

01:10:21How will you survive without me?

01:10:23Vincent gazed at me with such tenderness, as if he truly cared about my future.

01:10:27Sofia and I already have a child.

01:10:28My position in the family has never been stronger.

01:10:31Stay with me.

01:10:31I can give you everything except the title of wife.

01:10:34I wanted to throw up.

01:10:36Every word from his mouth made me sick.

01:10:38When I didn't answer, Vincenza took my silence as consent.

01:10:41Smiling, he stroked my hair.

01:10:43Let me make it up to you.

01:10:45We'll go shopping, and I'll buy you anything you want.

01:10:47Before I could respond, Lorenzo and Camille rushed through the open door.

01:10:54Lorenzo charged at me and slapped me to the floor.

01:10:57Camille seized my collar and screamed in my face.

01:11:00Alexia, where did you hide Sofia's baby?

01:11:02Sofia ran in crying and shook my shoulders.

01:11:05You took my baby, didn't you?

01:11:06Tell me where he is.

01:11:07He's only one.

01:11:08He'll die without me.

01:11:09I'll give Vincent back.

01:11:10I don't want my place in the family either.

01:11:12I'll give you anything.

01:11:13Just return my baby.

01:11:14The smile vanished from Vincent's face.

01:11:16He stepped forward, tense.

01:11:18What do you mean the baby is missing?

01:11:20He disappeared during his nap.

01:11:22He can barely walk.

01:11:24Someone must have taken him.

01:11:26Vincent roared, pulled his gun, and pressed the barrel hard against my forehead.

01:11:30No wonder you were packing to run.

01:11:32You knew what you'd done and planned to flee before we caught you.

01:11:35Tell me.

01:11:36Where did you hide him?

01:11:38The cold barrel touched my skin, and my blood seemed to freeze.

01:11:41Years ago, I hadn't feared being outnumbered in a gunfight.

01:11:44I hadn't been afraid when I took a bullet for Vincent.

01:11:46But now, I was truly terrified.

01:11:49Not of dying.

01:11:50I feared I wouldn't live to see them kneel and beg for mercy.

01:11:53I didn't do anything.

01:11:55I've never even seen that baby.

01:11:56Sophia collapsed to the floor, sobbing so hard she almost vanted.

01:12:00If you want revenge, take it out on me.

01:12:03The baby is innocent.

01:12:04If anything happens to him, I can't go on living.

01:12:08Each word tightened Vincent's grip on the gun.

01:12:11Click.

01:12:12He chambered a round.

01:12:14In another second, the bullet would go through my head.

01:12:17I really don't know.

01:12:19I had done nothing.

01:12:20How could I confess?

01:12:21Lorenzo stood nearby, his face cold.

01:12:24Even if you were still my sister, I couldn't cover for you.

01:12:26And you're not anymore.

01:12:27He turned to Vincent.

01:12:28Alessia won't talk.

01:12:29Teach her a lesson, or she won't tell us anything.

01:12:31Vanessa nodded and lowered his gun, his eyes terrifyingly cold.

01:12:35Then beat her until she talks.

01:12:39I was the daughter of a mafia godfather.

01:12:42The day I met Vincent, he fell in love with me at first sight.

01:12:46The first time, I found a receipt from a luxury boutique in his pocket.

01:12:50It was a gift for another boss's wife.

01:12:52In our world, every courtesy has to be handled properly.

01:12:56I chose to believe him.

01:12:57The second time, I found an earring in his car that wasn't mine.

01:13:01One of his friends claimed it belonged to his girlfriend

01:13:04and told me not to read into it.

01:13:07Then came a third time, and a fourth.

01:13:09Whenever I found something suspicious, someone always had an excuse ready.

01:13:14The tenth time, I pulled a box of condoms from under our bed

01:13:17and held it up in front of him.

01:13:20Whose are these?

01:13:22We never use this brand.

01:13:23Vincent paused halfway through, nodding his tie.

01:13:26With a weary sigh, he made a call.

01:13:29Lorenzo, when you stayed over last time, did you leave a box of condoms here?

01:13:33Yeah, I've been looking for them.

01:13:36Sorry.

01:13:37Is my sister doubting you again?

01:13:39Then Camille, my sister-in-law, and my best friend started lecturing me.

01:13:43Alexia, trust is the foundation of any relationship.

01:13:47You can't keep doubting Vincent.

01:13:49If you can't trust him, don't marry him.

01:13:52Stop taking Vincent's love for granted.

01:13:54After the call ended, Vincent spread his hands.

01:14:00Alexia, we should end this.

01:14:01This is the tenth time.

01:14:03Like Camille said, if you can't trust me, maybe we shouldn't.

01:14:06You're right.

01:14:07We're canceling the wedding.

01:14:09Vincent would never have guessed that no one else had left those condoms.

01:14:12I bought them myself and planted them under the bed.

01:14:17Tak

01:14:17You're fuckwrap, Sam.

01:14:19You're welcome.

01:14:23I've been telling you that there's nothing to happen here about the Quandtank
