🎬 THEMES: Comeback / Romance & Betrayal / Secret Heiress
Transcript
00:00:00Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.
00:00:02Don't you understand? He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.
00:00:06The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.
00:00:09They're the couple who truly love each other.
00:00:11Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia as if afraid I might hurt him.
00:00:13We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.
00:00:15Sophia is father's biological daughter.
00:00:17Only her marriage to Vincita can earn father's blessing. Just walk away.
00:00:20I looked at Lorenzo, the man I'd called my brother for years.
00:00:22Then at my best friend, at the fiancé who'd sworn to love only me,
00:00:25and at Sophia, whose tearful eyes couldn't hide her triumph.
00:00:27My heart felt torn apart.
00:00:28So you convinced father to throw me out?
00:00:30You left me homeless and let people abuse me?
00:00:32Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.
00:00:36However you dress it up, she's still the other woman.
00:00:38Every one of you deceive me. You're all liars.
00:00:40Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.
00:00:44My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.
00:00:46I gave you a chance, Alexia. You're the one who refused it.
00:00:50I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.
00:00:53Don't test my limits.
00:00:54Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.
00:00:57Sunlight filled the room.
00:00:58Through the window, I could see a distant barn in the garden below.
00:01:02Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.
00:01:04He said I deserved the best.
00:01:06But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.
00:01:10Pink wallpaper.
00:01:10A canopy bed draped in sheer fabric.
00:01:12A claying cloud of perfume.
00:01:14A wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.
00:01:16Below it, photo Vincent in smaller pictures.
00:01:18Their babies and family portraits of all three of them.
00:01:20Not a single trace of me remained.
00:01:22Face it, Alessia.
00:01:23Vincent and Sophia are in love.
00:01:24They belong together.
00:01:26He stayed only because you saved his life, and he owed you.
00:01:31I shook my head.
00:01:33No.
00:01:34I don't believe you.
00:01:35Neil patted my shoulder to get a pity and look.
00:01:37Do you really think Sophia met the godfather only a year ago?
00:01:40They've been together for three years.
00:01:43He helped her find her biological father.
00:01:44After that, everyone accepted him.
00:01:46She stared into my eyes and delivered the clearest glow.
00:01:49Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.
00:01:51And throwing you out, that was Vincent's idea.
00:01:53Once you were gone for good, no one could threaten Sophia's placement for me.
00:01:57I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.
00:01:59I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.
00:02:03When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.
00:02:06She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.
00:02:10She'd even warned Vincenza she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.
00:02:13Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.
00:02:15And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.
00:02:17I couldn't hold back anymore.
00:02:19Tears ran down my face.
00:02:21It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.
00:02:24The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.
00:02:25Footsteps sounded behind me.
00:02:27Vincent and Sophie entered the room.
00:02:29I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.
00:02:31If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.
00:02:33Relax.
00:02:34I was the daughter of a mafia godfather.
00:02:36The day I met Vincent, he fell in love with me at first sight.
00:02:40The first time, I found a receipt from a luxury boutique in his pocket.
00:02:44It was a gift for another boss's wife.
00:02:46In our world, every courtesy has to be handled properly.
00:02:48I chose to believe him.
00:02:50The second time, I found an earring in his car that wasn't mine.
00:02:53One of his friends claimed it belonged to his girlfriend.
00:02:56And told me not to read into it.
00:02:58Then came a third time, and a fourth.
00:03:00Whenever I found something suspicious, someone always had an excuse ready.
00:03:05The tenth time, I pulled a box of condoms from under our bed and held it up in front of
00:03:09him.
00:03:11Whose are these?
00:03:12We never use this brand.
00:03:13Vincent paused halfway through, nodding his tie.
00:03:16With a weary sigh, he made a call.
00:03:19Lorenzo, when you stayed over last time, did you leave a box of condoms here?
00:03:23Yeah, I've been looking for them.
00:03:25Sorry.
00:03:26Is my sister doubting you again?
00:03:28Then Camille, my sister-in-law, and my best friend started lecturing me.
00:03:31Alexia, trust is the foundation of any relationship.
00:03:35You can't keep doubting Vincent.
00:03:37If you can't trust him, don't marry him.
00:03:40Stop taking Vincent's love for granted.
00:03:42After the call ended, Vincent spread his hands.
00:03:47Alexia, we should end this.
00:03:48This is the tenth time.
00:03:49Like Camille said, if you can't trust me, maybe we shouldn't.
00:03:52You're right.
00:03:53We're canceling the wedding.
00:03:55Vincent would never have guessed that no one else had left those condoms.
00:03:58I bought them myself and planted them under the bed.
00:04:04That single box was all it took to tear open the ugly truth behind our so-called love.
00:04:09I've canceled wedding photographer.
00:04:10Don't bother buying the rings.
00:04:12The moment I finished, Vincent tugged at his tie in annoyance.
00:04:15Alexia, how long are you going to keep this up?
00:04:16Even your brother vouched for me.
00:04:18What more do you want?
00:04:19He sat at the other end of the bed with his back to me.
00:04:21If you're sick, see a doctor.
00:04:23But stop suspecting me all day.
00:04:24You're only hurting our relationship.
00:04:25One day, your suspicions will wear away every bit of love I have for you.
00:04:30I'm serious, Alexia.
00:04:31A marriage can't last without trust.
00:04:33Before I could answer, his phone chimed.
00:04:35The instant he read the message, the irritation in his eyes melted into tenderness.
00:04:39But when he looked at me again, his gaze turned cold.
00:04:42I'm busy today.
00:04:43Find something to do so you don't sit around doubting me again.
00:04:46He straightened his tie and left without looking back.
00:04:48I knew Vincent was hiding something.
00:04:50Instead of taking my car, I hailed a cab and followed him.
00:04:53Forty minutes later, the cab stopped outside a villa in the suburbs.
00:04:56Through a window, I saw a living room filled with food and wine.
00:04:59Everyone around the table was painfully familiar.
00:05:02Beside Vincent sat a woman holding a baby.
00:05:04She wore the same earring I'd once found in his car.
00:05:06Her designer dress matched the receipt I'd found in Vincent's pocket.
00:05:10Then I saw her face.
00:05:11I could never forget it.
00:05:12This woman had nearly taken everything from me.
00:05:14A year earlier, my adoptive father, the godfather,
00:05:17found his long-lost biological daughter, Sophia.
00:05:20Only then did I learn I wasn't his real daughter.
00:05:23From that day on, the family shut me out and stripped away every privilege I'd had.
00:05:27They crowned Sophia the princess of the Romano family.
00:05:30And I became the outsider who had stolen her place for years.
00:05:33I couldn't accept it.
00:05:34During one argument, Sophia's bodyguard beat me badly.
00:05:37And my adoptive father threw me out.
00:05:41Now, the brother who had always protected me was carefully cutting Sophia's steak.
00:05:46The best friend who'd sworn to stand by me forever was playing with Sophia's baby.
00:05:50And Vincent, who had just accused me of distrusting him, pulled Sophia into his arms as everyone cheered.
00:05:57The sight made the room spin.
00:06:00After I was thrown out, Vincent promised to care for me for the rest of my life.
00:06:05They all knew I had nowhere to go.
00:06:07Yet they still deceived me together.
00:06:09My eyes stung, but I forced back my tears.
00:06:12So this was what betrayal by the people closest to me felt like.
00:06:16I was a fool trapped in their web of lies.
00:06:18Then my phone lit up.
00:06:19One message gave me hope again.
00:06:21We've found your biological parents.
00:06:23We'll pick you up in three days.
00:06:25Thank goodness.
00:06:26Soon, I would have a real family of my own.
00:06:29In three days, I would leave these liars behind.
00:06:31And I would leave Vincent.
00:06:33I turned to go.
00:06:35I couldn't bear their fake smiles for another second.
00:06:37But a voice behind me suddenly called out.
00:06:39Alexia?
00:06:40Are you here for my son's first birthday party too?
00:06:43I stopped.
00:06:44Sophia walked toward me with a bright smile.
00:06:46Alexia?
00:06:47I thought you were still angry about father's decision.
00:06:49I'm glad you finally accepted it.
00:06:51By the way, this is our brother's new wife, Camille.
00:06:54You haven't met, have you?
00:06:56You'd already left home when they married.
00:06:59Hello.
00:07:00It's nice to meet you.
00:07:02Camille, my best friend and sister-in-law, gave me a mocking smile before nodding politely.
00:07:06She sounded polite but distant, as if we'd truly never met.
00:07:09Lorenzo watched me from the crowd with a complicated look, but said nothing.
00:07:13Sophia didn't seem to notice Camille's slip.
00:07:15Smiling, she pulled Vincent to her side and pressed close to him.
00:07:19This is my husband.
00:07:21His name is Vanessa.
00:07:22I cut her off with a smile.
00:07:24His name is Vanessa, and he owns this villa.
00:07:27Sophia froze.
00:07:28Her gaze darted between Vincent and me.
00:07:31How do you know his name?
00:07:32Do you two know each other?
00:07:34Vincent's face stiffened, and his eyes flashed a warning.
00:07:36I ignored it and smiled as I nodded.
00:07:39Of course, he's my fiancé.
00:07:41We'd been together for five years, and we were about to get married.
00:07:44He bought this villa for me, too.
00:07:47Every detail was decorated to suit my taste.
00:07:49Didn't you know?
00:07:53I covered my mouth in feigned surprise.
00:07:56I only mentioned that the air was nice here, and Vincent had bought me the entire villa.
00:08:00But I prefer our home in the city, so I rarely come here.
00:08:04That was what I said.
00:08:06But the truth was, I hadn't been the one avoiding this place.
00:08:09Vincetta had always claimed it was too far, and rarely brought me here.
00:08:13Now I finally understood.
00:08:15It was just another lie meant to keep me from discovering the truth.
00:08:18Alexia!
00:08:19I know you hate me, but you can't make up lies like this.
00:08:21I married Vincent at the year father brought me home.
00:08:24How could he possibly be your fiancé?
00:08:26With tears in her eyes, Sophia turned to Vincilla.
00:08:28What is going on?
00:08:29Vincenet, say something!
00:08:32Vincenet hurriedly trossed aside his cigar.
00:08:34Sophia, calm down.
00:08:35Let me explain.
00:08:36Watching him panic, I felt my heart freeze inch by inch.
00:08:38I was the one he'd deceived.
00:08:40Yet Sophia was the one he rushed to reassure.
00:08:42Something inside me finally snapped.
00:08:43A furious scream tore from my throat.
00:08:45Look carefully!
00:08:46The man beside you is my fiancé!
00:08:48He has tattoos across his back and chest.
00:08:50I gave him the gun at his waist on our first anniversary!
00:08:52I pointed at the gun, and Vincent immediately covered it with his hand.
00:08:56My name is engraved on it.
00:08:57I carved it myself.
00:08:58I pulled down my collar and revealed the scar on my shoulder.
00:09:01And this scar?
00:09:02I took a bullet for him when a mission went wrong.
00:09:04He sleeps beside me every night, and eats breakfast with me every morning.
00:09:08I even chose the suit he's wearing!
00:09:10So, my dear sister, you're the other woman.
00:09:13You're the secret lover he's been hiding from me!
00:09:16Alexia, shut up!
00:09:17The moment Sophia cried, all three of them tried to silence me at once.
00:09:21Cold fury churned in Vincent's eyes.
00:09:22Lorendo and Kamel looked ready to rush over and cover my mouth.
00:09:25I laughed.
00:09:25Am I wrong?
00:09:26Don't tell me none of you knew!
00:09:28How much longer were you planning to deceive me?
00:09:30Vanessa pulled Sophia firmly into his arms.
00:09:33When he spoke to me, his voice was ice cold.
00:09:35Who gave you the right to speak to Sophia that way?
00:09:38She knew nothing.
00:09:39None of this is her fault.
00:09:44Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.
00:09:47Don't you understand?
00:09:48He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.
00:09:50The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.
00:09:53They're the couple who truly love each other.
00:09:55Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia as if afraid I might hurt her.
00:09:58We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.
00:10:00Sophia is father's biological daughter.
00:10:02Only her marriage to Vincitta can earn father's blessing.
00:10:04Just walk away.
00:10:04I looked at Lorenzo, the man I called my brother for years, then at my best friend, at the
00:10:08fiancé who's sworn to love only me, and at Sophia, whose tearful eyes couldn't hide
00:10:11her triumph.
00:10:12My heart felt torn apart.
00:10:13So you convinced father to throw me out?
00:10:15You left me homeless and let people abuse me?
00:10:17Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.
00:10:20However you dress it up, she's still the other woman.
00:10:23Every one of you deceive me.
00:10:24You're all liars!
00:10:25Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.
00:10:28My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.
00:10:31I gave you a chance, Alexia.
00:10:33You're the one who refused it.
00:10:35I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.
00:10:37Don't test my limits.
00:10:38Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.
00:10:42Sunlight filled the room.
00:10:43Through the window, I could see a distant farm and the garden below.
00:10:46Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.
00:10:49He said I deserved the best.
00:10:51But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.
00:10:54Pink wallpaper, a canopy bed draped in sheer fabric, a claying cloud of perfume,
00:10:58a wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.
00:11:00Below it, photo of Vincent and smaller pictures, their baby, and family portraits of all three of them.
00:11:05Not a single trace of me remained.
00:11:08Face it, Alessia.
00:11:09Vincent and Sophia are in love.
00:11:11They belong together.
00:11:12He stayed only because you saved his life, and he owed you.
00:11:17I shook my head.
00:11:19No!
00:11:20I don't believe you!
00:11:21Camille patted my shoulder with a pitying look.
00:11:23Do you really think Sophia met the godfather only a year ago?
00:11:27They've been together for three years.
00:11:29He helped her find her biological father.
00:11:31After that, everyone accepted them.
00:11:32She stared into my eyes and delivered the cruelest blow.
00:11:35Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.
00:11:37And throwing you out, that was Vincent's idea.
00:11:40Once you were gone for good, no one could threaten Sophia's place in the family.
00:11:43I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.
00:11:45I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.
00:11:49When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.
00:11:53She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.
00:11:56She'd even warned Vincenza she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.
00:11:59Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.
00:12:01And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.
00:12:04I couldn't hold back anymore.
00:12:06Tears ran down my face.
00:12:07It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.
00:12:10The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.
00:12:12Footsteps sounded behind me.
00:12:13Vincent and Sophie entered the room.
00:12:15I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.
00:12:17If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.
00:12:19Alexa, calm down, don't say things you'll regret.
00:12:21They spoke together, clearly surprised I would let go so easily.
00:12:24I only smiled and looked at Sophia.
00:12:25I was out of this game before it even began.
00:12:27I wish you both happiness.
00:12:31I turned and left.
00:12:33Vincent reached for me, but I stepped aside before he could grab me.
00:12:36Every betrayal, every lie, I carved them all into my memory.
00:12:42I would never forgive them, and I would never forget.
00:12:45I was packing my bags when Vincent suddenly returned to our apartment.
00:12:48The moment he saw my suitcase, he exploded.
00:12:50Alessia, what are you doing?
00:12:51Are you moving out?
00:12:52Are you leaving me?
00:12:53I couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask.
00:12:55Shut up!
00:12:56I glared at him and slapped him hard across the face.
00:12:58Listen carefully, Vincent.
00:13:00You left me.
00:13:01You abandoned me.
00:13:02Should I stay until you throw me out yourself?
00:13:04His cheek quickly turned red.
00:13:06He pressed his tongue against the sore spot, but didn't get angry.
00:13:08Instead, he opened his arms and pulled me in an embrace.
00:13:10All right, sweetheart, I was wrong.
00:13:11Hit me or curse me if it helps.
00:13:12Do you feel better now?
00:13:13We've been together for five years.
00:13:14What we had was real.
00:13:15Can you truly let it go that easily?
00:13:17You nearly died saving me.
00:13:18I'll never forget that, and I would never abandon you.
00:13:20Only then did I realize I'd never truly known Vincent.
00:13:24When had he become this shameless and two-faced?
00:13:27I shoved him away and put distance between us.
00:13:30But Vincent only smiled and approached me with open arms again.
00:13:33Sophia is the Romano family's princess.
00:13:35Marrying her gives me more power.
00:13:37You don't even know who your biological father is.
00:13:39How will you survive without me?
00:13:40Vincent gazed at me with such tenderness, as if he truly cared about my future.
00:13:44Sophia and I already have a child.
00:13:46My position in the family has never been stronger.
00:13:48Stay with me.
00:13:48I can give you everything except the title of wife.
00:13:51I wanted to throw up.
00:13:52Every word from his mouth made me sick.
00:13:54When I didn't answer, Vincent took my silence as consent.
00:13:57Smiling, he stroked my hair.
00:13:59Let me make it up to you.
00:14:00We'll go shopping, and I'll buy you anything you want.
00:14:03Before I could respond, Lorenzo and Camille rushed through the open door.
00:14:09Lorenzo charged at me and slapped me to the floor.
00:14:11Camille seized my collar and screamed in my face.
00:14:14Alexia, where did you hide Sophia's baby?
00:14:16Sophia ran in crying and shook my shoulders.
00:14:18You took my baby.
00:14:19Just you tell me where he is.
00:14:21He's only one.
00:14:21He'll die without me.
00:14:23I'll give Vincent back.
00:14:24I don't want my place in the family either.
00:14:25I'll give you anything.
00:14:26Just return my baby.
00:14:27The smile vanished from Vincent's face.
00:14:29He stepped forward, tense.
00:14:31What do you mean the baby is missing?
00:14:33He disappeared during his nap.
00:14:34He can barely walk.
00:14:36Someone must have taken him.
00:14:38Vincent roared, pulled his gun, and pressed the barrel hard against my forehead.
00:14:42No wonder you were packing to run.
00:14:44You knew what you'd done and planned to flee before we caught you.
00:14:47Tell me, where did you hide him?
00:14:48The cold barrel touched my skin, and my blood seemed to freeze.
00:14:52Years ago, I hadn't feared being outnumbered in a gunfight.
00:14:54I hadn't been afraid when I took a bullet for Vincent.
00:14:56But now, I was truly terrified.
00:14:59Not of dying.
00:14:59I feared I wouldn't live to see them kneel and beg for mercy.
00:15:02I didn't do anything.
00:15:04I've never even seen that baby.
00:15:05Sophia collapsed to the floor, sobbing so hard she almost vanted.
00:15:09If you want revenge, take it out on me!
00:15:11The baby is innocent!
00:15:13If anything happens to him, I can't go on living!
00:15:16Each word tightened Vincent's grip on the gun.
00:15:19Click.
00:15:20He chambered around.
00:15:22In another second, the bullet would go through my head.
00:15:25I really don't know.
00:15:26I redone nothing.
00:15:27How could I confess?
00:15:28Lorenzo stood nearby, his face cold.
00:15:30Even if you were still my sister, I couldn't cover for you.
00:15:32And you're not anymore.
00:15:33He turned to Vincent.
00:15:35Alessia won't talk.
00:15:36Teach her a lesson, or she won't tell us anything.
00:15:37Vanessa nodded and lowered his gun, his eyes terrifyingly cold.
00:15:41Then beat her until she talks.
00:15:54Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.
00:15:57Don't you understand?
00:15:58He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.
00:16:00The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.
00:16:03They're the couple who truly love each other.
00:16:05Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia as if afraid I might hurt him.
00:16:08We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.
00:16:10Sophia is father's biological daughter.
00:16:11Only her marriage to Vincent can earn father's blessing.
00:16:13Just walk away.
00:16:14I looked at Lorenzo, the man I'd called my brother for years.
00:16:17Then at my best friend, at the fiancé who'd sworn to love only me.
00:16:19And at Sophia, whose tearful eyes couldn't hide her triumph.
00:16:21My heart felt torn apart.
00:16:23So you convinced father to throw me out?
00:16:25You left me homeless and let people abuse me?
00:16:27Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.
00:16:30However you dress it up, she's still the other woman.
00:16:32Every one of you deceive me.
00:16:34You're all liars.
00:16:34Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.
00:16:38My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.
00:16:41I gave you a chance, Alexia.
00:16:43You're the one who refused it.
00:16:44I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.
00:16:47Don't test my limits.
00:16:48Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.
00:16:52Sunlight filled the room.
00:16:53Through the window, I could see a distant barn in the garden below.
00:16:56Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.
00:16:59He said I deserved the best.
00:17:01But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.
00:17:04Pink wallpaper, a canopy bed draped in sheer fabric, a claying cloud of perfume, a wedding
00:17:08photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.
00:17:10Below it, photo Vincent in smaller pictures, their babies, and family portraits of all three
00:17:14of them.
00:17:14Not a single trace of me remained.
00:17:16Face it, Alessia.
00:17:17Vincent and Sophia are in love.
00:17:19They belong together.
00:17:20He stayed only because you saved his life, and he owed you.
00:17:25I shook my head.
00:17:27No.
00:17:28I don't believe you.
00:17:30Camille patted my shoulder to the pity and look.
00:17:32Do you really think Sophia met the Godfather only a year ago?
00:17:35They've been together for three years.
00:17:37He helped her find her biological father.
00:17:39After that, everyone accepted him.
00:17:41She stared into my eyes and delivered the clearest glow.
00:17:43Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.
00:17:46And throwing you out, that was Vincent's idea.
00:17:48Once you were gone for good, no one could threaten Sophia's placement for me.
00:17:51I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.
00:17:53I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.
00:17:57When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.
00:18:01She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.
00:18:04She'd even warned Vincenta she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.
00:18:07Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.
00:18:09And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.
00:18:12I couldn't hold back anymore.
00:18:14Tears ran down my face.
00:18:15It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.
00:18:18The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.
00:18:20Footsteps sounded behind me.
00:18:22Vincent and Sophie entered the room.
00:18:23I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.
00:18:25If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.
00:18:27Alexa.
00:18:28I was the daughter of a mafia godfather.
00:18:30The day I met Vincent, he fell in love with me at first sight.
00:18:35The first time, I found a receipt from a luxury boutique in his pocket.
00:18:38It was a gift for another boss's wife.
00:18:40In our world, every courtesy has to be handled properly.
00:18:43I chose to believe him.
00:18:45The second time, I found an earring in his car that wasn't mine.
00:18:48One of his friends claimed it belonged to his girlfriend.
00:18:51And told me not to read into it.
00:18:53Then came a third time, and a fourth.
00:18:55Whenever I found something suspicious, someone always had an excuse ready.
00:18:59The tenth time, I pulled a box of condoms from under our bed and held it up in front of
00:19:03him.
00:19:05Who's are these?
00:19:06We never use this brand.
00:19:08Vincent paused halfway through, nodding his tie.
00:19:10With a weary sigh, he made a call.
00:19:13Lorenzo.
00:19:14When you stayed over last time, did you leave a box of condoms here?
00:19:17Yeah.
00:19:18I've been looking for them.
00:19:20Sorry.
00:19:21Is my sister doubting you again?
00:19:22Then Camille, my sister-in-law, and my best friend started lecturing me.
00:19:26Alexia.
00:19:27Trust is the foundation of any relationship.
00:19:30You can't keep doubting Vincent.
00:19:31If you can't trust him, don't marry him.
00:19:34Stop taking Vinic's love for granted.
00:19:36After the call ended, Vincent spread his hands.
00:19:41Alessia, we should end this.
00:19:42This is the tenth time.
00:19:44Like Camille said, if you can't trust me, maybe we shouldn't.
00:19:47You're right.
00:19:48We're canceling the wedding.
00:19:49Vincent would never have guessed that no one else had left those condoms.
00:19:52I bought them myself and planted them under the bed.
00:19:58That single box was all it took to tear open the ugly truth behind our so-called love.
00:20:03I've canceled wedding photographer.
00:20:05Don't bother buying the rings.
00:20:06The moment I finished, Vincent tugged at his tie in annoyance.
00:20:09Alexia, how long are you going to keep this up?
00:20:11Even your brother vouched for me.
00:20:12What more do you want?
00:20:13He sat at the other end of the bed with his back to me.
00:20:15If you're sick, see a doctor.
00:20:17But stop suspecting me all day.
00:20:18You're only hurting our relationship.
00:20:20One day, your suspicions will wear away every bit of love I have for you.
00:20:24I'm serious, Alexia.
00:20:26A marriage can't last without trust.
00:20:28Before I could answer, his phone chimed.
00:20:30The instant he read the message, the irritation in his eyes melted into tenderness.
00:20:34But when he looked at me again, his gaze turned cold.
00:20:37I'm busy today.
00:20:38Find something to do so you don't sit around doubting me again.
00:20:40He straightened his tie and left without looking back.
00:20:43I knew Vincent was hiding something.
00:20:45Instead of taking my car, I hailed a cab and followed him.
00:20:47Forty minutes later, the cab stopped outside a villa in the suburbs.
00:20:51Through a window, I saw a living room filled with food and wine.
00:20:54Everyone around the table was painfully familiar.
00:20:56Beside Vincent sat a woman holding a baby.
00:20:59She wore the same earring I'd once found in his car.
00:21:01Her designer dress matched the receipt I'd found in Vincent's pocket.
00:21:04Then I saw her face.
00:21:05I could never forget it.
00:21:06This woman had nearly taken everything from me.
00:21:09A year earlier, my adoptive father, the godfather, found his long-lost biological daughter,
00:21:14Sophia.
00:21:15Only then did I learn I wasn't his real daughter.
00:21:17From that day on, the family shut me out and stripped away every privilege I'd had.
00:21:22They crowned Sophia the princess of the Romano family.
00:21:24And I became the outsider who had stolen her place for years.
00:21:28I couldn't accept it.
00:21:29During one argument, Sophia's bodyguard beat me badly.
00:21:32And my adoptive father threw me out.
00:21:36Now, the brother who had always protected me was carefully cutting Sophia's stake.
00:21:40The best friend who'd sworn to stand by me forever was playing with Sophia's baby.
00:21:44And Vincent, who had just accused me of distrusting him, pulled Sophia into his arms as everyone cheered.
00:21:51The sight made the room spin.
00:21:54After I was thrown out, Vincent promised to care for me for the rest of my life.
00:22:00They all knew I had nowhere to go.
00:22:02Yet they still deceived me together.
00:22:04My eyes stung, but I forced back my tears.
00:22:07So this was what betrayal by the people closest to me felt like.
00:22:10I was a fool trapped in their web of lies.
00:22:13Then my phone lit up.
00:22:14One message gave me hope again.
00:22:16We've found your biological parents.
00:22:17We'll pick you up in three days.
00:22:20Thank goodness.
00:22:21Soon, I would have a real family of my own.
00:22:23In three days, I would leave these liars behind.
00:22:26And I would leave Vincent.
00:22:28I turned to go.
00:22:29I couldn't bear their fake smiles for another second.
00:22:32But a voice behind me suddenly called out.
00:22:34Alexia?
00:22:35Are you here for my son's first birthday party too?
00:22:37I stopped.
00:22:38Sophia walked toward me with a bright smile.
00:22:41Alexia, I thought you were still angry about father's decision.
00:22:44I'm glad you finally accepted it.
00:22:46By the way, this is our brother's new wife, Camille.
00:22:49You haven't met, have you?
00:22:51You'd already left home when they married.
00:22:54Hello.
00:22:55It's nice to meet you.
00:22:56Camille, my best friend and sister-in-law, gave me a mocking smile before nodding politely.
00:23:01She sounded polite but distant, as if we'd truly never met.
00:23:03Lorenzo watched me from the crowd with a complicated look, but said nothing.
00:23:07Sophia didn't seem to notice Camille's slip.
00:23:10Smiling, she pulled Vincent to her side and pressed close to him.
00:23:14This is my husband.
00:23:15His name is Vanessa.
00:23:17I cut her off with a smile.
00:23:18His name is Vanessa, and he owns this villa.
00:23:21Sophia froze.
00:23:23Her gaze darted between Vincent and me.
00:23:25How do you know his name?
00:23:27Do you two know each other?
00:23:28Vincent's face stiffened, and his eyes flashed a warning.
00:23:31I ignored it and smiled as I nodded.
00:23:34Of course, he's my fiancé.
00:23:36We've been together for five years, and we were about to get married.
00:23:39He bought this villa for me, too.
00:23:41Every detail was decorated to suit my taste.
00:23:44Didn't you know?
00:23:48I covered my mouth in feigned surprise.
00:23:50I only mentioned that the air was nice here, and Vincent had bought me the entire villa.
00:23:54But I prefer our home in the city, so I rarely come here.
00:23:59That was what I said.
00:24:00But the truth was, I hadn't been the one avoiding this place.
00:24:04Vincetta had always claimed it was too far, and rarely brought me here.
00:24:07Now I finally understood.
00:24:09It was just another lie meant to keep me from discovering the truth.
00:24:13Alexia!
00:24:14I know you hate me, but you can't make up lies like this.
00:24:16I married Vincent since the year father brought me home.
00:24:18How could he possibly be your fiancé?
00:24:20With tears in her eyes, Sophia turned to Vincilla.
00:24:23What is going on?
00:24:24Vincenis, say something!
00:24:26Vincet hurriedly trossed aside his cigar.
00:24:28Sophia, calm down.
00:24:29Let me explain.
00:24:30Watching him panic, I felt my heart freeze inch by inch.
00:24:33I was the one he'd deceived.
00:24:34Yet Sophia was the one he rushed to reassure.
00:24:36Something inside me finally snapped.
00:24:38A furious scream tore from my throat.
00:24:40Look carefully!
00:24:41The man beside you is my fiancé!
00:24:42He has tattoos across his back and chest.
00:24:44I gave him the gun at his waist on our first anniversary!
00:24:47I pointed at the gun, and Vincent immediately covered it with his hand.
00:24:50My name is engraved on it.
00:24:52I carved it myself.
00:24:53I pulled down my collar and revealed the scar on my shoulder.
00:24:55And this scar?
00:24:57I took a bullet for him when a mission went wrong.
00:24:59He sleeps beside me every night, and eats breakfast with me every morning.
00:25:02I even chose the suit he's wearing!
00:25:05So, my dear sister, you're the other woman.
00:25:08You're the secret lover he's been hiding from me!
00:25:10Alexia, shut up!
00:25:12The moment Sophia cried, all three of them tried to silence me at once.
00:25:15Cold fury churned in Vincent's eyes.
00:25:17Lorenzo and Kamel looked ready to rush over and cover my mouth.
00:25:19I laughed.
00:25:20Am I wrong?
00:25:21Don't tell me none of you knew.
00:25:22How much longer were you planning to deceive me?
00:25:25Vanessa pulled Sophia firmly into his arms.
00:25:27When he spoke to me, his voice was ice cold.
00:25:29Who gave you the right to speak to Sophia that way?
00:25:32She knew nothing.
00:25:34None of this is her fault.
00:25:39Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.
00:25:41Don't you understand?
00:25:42He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.
00:25:45The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.
00:25:48They're the couple who truly love each other.
00:25:50Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia as if afraid I might hurt him.
00:25:52We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.
00:25:54Sophia is father's biological daughter.
00:25:56Only her marriage to Vincita can earn father's blessing.
00:25:58Just walk away.
00:25:59I looked at Lorenzo, the man I'd called my brother for years, then at my best friend,
00:26:02at the fiancé who's sworn to love only me, and at Sophia, whose tearful eyes couldn't
00:26:05hide her triumph.
00:26:06My heart felt torn apart.
00:26:07So you convinced father to throw me out?
00:26:09You left me homeless and let people abuse me?
00:26:11Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.
00:26:15However you dress it up, she's still the other woman.
00:26:17Every one of you deceive me.
00:26:18You're all liars.
00:26:19Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.
00:26:23My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.
00:26:25I gave you a chance, Alexia.
00:26:27You're the one who refused it.
00:26:29I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.
00:26:32Don't test my limits.
00:26:33Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.
00:26:36Sunlight filled the room.
00:26:37Through the window, I could see a distant farm and the garden below.
00:26:41Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.
00:26:44He said I deserved the best.
00:26:45But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.
00:26:49Pink wallpaper.
00:26:50A canopy bed draped in sheer fabric.
00:26:51A claying cloud of perfume.
00:26:53A wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.
00:26:55Below it photo of Vincent and smaller pictures, their baby, and family portraits of all three of them.
00:26:59Not a single trace of me remained.
00:27:02Face it, Alessia.
00:27:03Vincent and Sophia are in love.
00:27:05They belong together.
00:27:07He stayed only because you saved his life, and he owed you.
00:27:11I shook my head.
00:27:14No!
00:27:15I don't believe you!
00:27:16Camille patted my shoulder with a pitying look.
00:27:18Do you really think Sophia met the godfather only a year ago?
00:27:21They've been together for three years.
00:27:23He helped her find her biological father.
00:27:25After that, everyone accepted them.
00:27:27She stared into my eyes and delivered the coolest blow.
00:27:30Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.
00:27:32And throwing you out, that was Vincent's idea.
00:27:34Once you were gone for good, no one could threaten Sophia's place in the family.
00:27:37I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.
00:27:40I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.
00:27:43When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.
00:27:47She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.
00:27:51She'd even warned Vincenza she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.
00:27:54Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.
00:27:56And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.
00:27:58I couldn't hold back anymore.
00:28:00Tears ran down my face.
00:28:02It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.
00:28:04The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.
00:28:06Footsteps sounded behind me.
00:28:08Vincent and Sophie entered the room.
00:28:09I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.
00:28:12If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.
00:28:14Alexa.
00:28:14Calm down, don't say things you'll regret.
00:28:16They spoke together, clearly surprised I would let go so easily.
00:28:18I only smiled and looked at Sophia.
00:28:20I was out of this game before it even began.
00:28:22I wish you both happiness.
00:28:26I turned and left.
00:28:27Vincent reached for me, but I stepped aside before he could grab me.
00:28:31Every betrayal, every lie.
00:28:34I carved them all into my memory.
00:28:36I would never forgive them.
00:28:38And I would never forget.
00:28:39I was packing my bags when Vincent suddenly returned to our apartment.
00:28:43The moment he saw my suitcase, he exploded.
00:28:45Alessia, what are you doing?
00:28:46Are you moving out?
00:28:47Are you leaving me?
00:28:48I couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask.
00:28:50Shut up!
00:28:50I glared at him and slapped him hard across the face.
00:28:53Listen carefully, Vincent.
00:28:54You left me.
00:28:55You abandoned me.
00:28:56Should I stay until you throw me out yourself?
00:28:59His cheek quickly turned red.
00:29:00He pressed his tongue against the sore spot, but didn't get angry.
00:29:03Instead, he opened his arms and pulled me into an embrace.
00:29:05All right, sweetheart, I was wrong.
00:29:06Hit me or curse me if it helps.
00:29:07Do you feel better now?
00:29:08We've been together for five years.
00:29:09What we had was real.
00:29:10Can you truly let it go that easily?
00:29:11You nearly died saving me.
00:29:12I'll never forget that.
00:29:13And I would never abandon you.
00:29:14Only then did I realize I'd never truly known Vincent.
00:29:18When had he become this shameless and two-faced?
00:29:21I shoved him away and put distance between us.
00:29:24But Vincent only smiled and approached me with open arms again.
00:29:28Sophia is the Romano family's princess.
00:29:30Marrying her gives me more power.
00:29:31You don't even know who your biological father is.
00:29:34How will you survive without me?
00:29:35Vincent gazed at me with such tenderness, as if he truly cared about my future.
00:29:39Sophia and I already have a child.
00:29:40My position in the family has never been stronger.
00:29:42Stay with me.
00:29:43I can give you everything except the title of wife.
00:29:45I wanted to throw up.
00:29:47Every word from his mouth made me sick.
00:29:49When I didn't answer, Vincenzo took my silence as consent.
00:29:52Smiling, he stroked my hair.
00:29:54Let me make it up to you.
00:29:55We'll go shopping.
00:29:56And I'll buy you anything you want.
00:29:57Before I could respond, Lorenzo and Camille rushed through the open door.
00:30:03Lorenzo charged at me and slapped me to the floor.
00:30:06Camille seized my collar and screamed in my face.
00:30:08Alexia, where did you hide Sophia's baby?
00:30:11Sophia ran in crying and shook my shoulders.
00:30:13You took my baby.
00:30:14Didn't you tell me where he is?
00:30:15He's only one.
00:30:16He'll die without me.
00:30:17I'll give Vincent back.
00:30:18I don't want my place in the family either.
00:30:20I'll give you anything.
00:30:21Just return my baby.
00:30:22The smile vanished from Vincent's face.
00:30:24He stepped forward, tense.
00:30:25What do you mean the baby is missing?
00:30:27He disappeared during his nap.
00:30:29He can barely walk.
00:30:30Someone must have taken him.
00:30:33Vincent roared, pulled his gun, and pressed the barrel hard against my forehead.
00:30:36No wonder you were packing to run.
00:30:38You knew what you'd done and planned to flee before we caught you.
00:30:41Tell me, where did you hide him?
00:30:43The cold barrel touched my skin, and my blood seemed to freeze.
00:30:46Years ago, I hadn't feared being outnumbered in a gunfight.
00:30:48I hadn't been afraid when I took a bullet for Vincent.
00:30:51But now, I was truly terrified.
00:30:53Not of dying.
00:30:54I feared I wouldn't live to see them kneel and beg for mercy.
00:30:57I didn't do anything.
00:30:58I've never even seen that baby.
00:31:00Sophia collapsed to the floor, sobbing so hard she almost vanted.
00:31:03If you want revenge, take it out on me!
00:31:06The baby is innocent!
00:31:07If anything happens to him, I can't go on living!
00:31:10Each word tightened Vincent's grip on the gun.
00:31:13Click.
00:31:14He chambered around.
00:31:16In another second, the bullet would go through my head.
00:31:19I really don't know.
00:31:20I read on nothing.
00:31:22How could I confess?
00:31:23Lorenzo stood nearby, his face cold.
00:31:25Even if you were still my sister, I couldn't cover for you.
00:31:27And you're not anymore.
00:31:28He turned to Vincent.
00:31:29Alessia won't talk.
00:31:30Teach her a lesson, or she won't tell us anything.
00:31:32Vanessa nodded and lowered his gun, his eyes terrifyingly cold.
00:31:35Then beat him until she talks.
00:31:48Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.
00:31:51Don't you understand?
00:31:52He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.
00:31:54The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.
00:31:58They're the couple who truly love each other.
00:32:00Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia, as if afraid I might hurt him.
00:32:02We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.
00:32:04Sophia is Father's biological daughter.
00:32:06Only her marriage to Vincenta can earn Father's blessing.
00:32:08Just walk away.
00:32:09I looked at Lorenzo, the man I'd called my brother for years.
00:32:11Then at my best friend, at the fiancé who'd sworn to love only me,
00:32:14and at Sophia, whose tearful eyes couldn't hide her triumph.
00:32:16My heart felt torn apart.
00:32:17So you convinced Father to throw me out?
00:32:19You left me homeless and let people abuse me?
00:32:21Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.
00:32:25However you dress it up, she's still the other woman.
00:32:27Every one of you deceive me.
00:32:28You're all liars.
00:32:29Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.
00:32:32My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.
00:32:36I gave you a chance, Alexia.
00:32:37You're the one who refused it.
00:32:39I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.
00:32:41Don't test my limits.
00:32:43Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.
00:32:46Sunlight filled the room.
00:32:47Through the window, I could see a distant barn in the garden below.
00:32:51Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.
00:32:53He said I deserved the best.
00:32:55But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.
00:32:58Pink wallpaper, a canopy bed draped in sheer fabric, a claying cloud of perfume, a wedding
00:33:03photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.
00:33:05Below it, photo Vincent in smaller pictures, their babies, and family portraits of all three
00:33:08of them.
00:33:09Not a single trace of me remained.
00:33:10Face it, Alessia.
00:33:12Vincent and Sophia are in love.
00:33:13They belong together.
00:33:15He stayed only because you saved his life, and he owed you.
00:33:20I shook my head.
00:33:22No.
00:33:23I don't believe you.
00:33:24Camille patted my shoulder to the cutie and looked.
00:33:26Do you really think Sophia met the godfather only a year ago?
00:33:29They've been together for three years.
00:33:31He helped her find her biological father.
00:33:33After that, everyone accepted me.
00:33:35She stared into my eyes and delivered the clearest glow.
00:33:38Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.
00:33:40And throwing you out, that was Vincent's idea.
00:33:42Once you were gone for good, no one could threaten Sophia's placement for me.
00:33:46I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.
00:33:48I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.
00:33:51When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.
00:33:55She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.
00:33:59She'd even warned Vincenta she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.
00:34:02Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.
00:34:04And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.
00:34:06I couldn't hold back anymore.
00:34:08Tears ran down my face.
00:34:10It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.
00:34:12The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.
00:34:14Footsteps sounded behind me.
00:34:16Vincent and Sophie entered the room.
00:34:18I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.
00:34:20If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.
00:34:23I was the daughter of a mafia godfather.
00:34:25The day I met Vincent, he fell in love with me at first sight.
00:34:29The first time, I found a receipt from a luxury boutique in his pocket.
00:34:33It was a gift for another boss's wife.
00:34:34In our world, every courtesy has to be handled properly.
00:34:37I chose to believe him.
00:34:39The second time, I found an earring in his car that wasn't mine.
00:34:42One of his friends claimed it belonged to his girlfriend.
00:34:45And told me not to read into it.
00:34:47Then came a third time, and a fourth.
00:34:49Whenever I found something suspicious, someone always had an excuse ready.
00:34:54The tenth time, I pulled a box of condoms from under our bed and held it up in front of
00:34:58him.
00:35:00Who's are these?
00:35:01We never use this brand.
00:35:02Vincent paused halfway through, nodding his tie.
00:35:04With a weary sigh, he made a call.
00:35:08Lorenzo, when you stayed over last time, did you leave a box of condoms here?
00:35:12Yeah, I've been looking for them.
00:35:14Sorry.
00:35:15Is my sister doubting you again?
00:35:17Then Camille, my sister-in-law, and my best friend started lecturing me.
00:35:20Alexia, trust is the foundation of any relationship.
00:35:24You can't keep doubting Vincent.
00:35:26If you can't trust him, don't marry him.
00:35:28Stop taking Vincent's love for granted.
00:35:30After the call ended, Vincent spread his hands.
00:35:36Alessia, we should end this.
00:35:37This is the tenth time.
00:35:38Like Camille said, if you can't trust me, maybe we shouldn't.
00:35:41You're right.
00:35:42We're cancelling the wedding.
00:35:44Vincent would never have guessed that no one else had left those condoms.
00:35:47I bought them myself and planted them under the bed.
00:35:52That single box was all it took to tear open the ugly truth behind our so-called love.
00:35:58I've cancelled wedding photographer.
00:35:59Don't bother buying the rings.
00:36:00The moment I finished, Vincent tugged at his tie in annoyance.
00:36:04Alexia, how long are you going to keep this up?
00:36:05Even your brother vouched for me.
00:36:06What more do you want?
00:36:07He sat at the other end of the bed with his back to me.
00:36:10If you're sick, see a doctor.
00:36:11But stop suspecting me all day.
00:36:13You're only hurting our relationship.
00:36:15One day, your suspicions will wear away every bit of love I have for you.
00:36:19I'm serious, Alexia.
00:36:20A marriage can't last without trust.
00:36:22Before I could answer, his phone chimed.
00:36:24The instant he read the message, the irritation in his eyes melted into tenderness.
00:36:28But when he looked at me again, his gaze turned cold.
00:36:31I'm busy today.
00:36:32Find something to do so you don't sit around doubting me again.
00:36:35He straightened his tie and left without looking back.
00:36:37I knew Vincent was hiding something.
00:36:39Instead of taking my car, I hailed a cab and followed him.
00:36:42Forty minutes later, the cab stopped outside a villa in the suburbs.
00:36:45Through a window, I saw a living room filled with food and wine.
00:36:48Everyone around the table was painfully familiar.
00:36:51Beside Vincent sat a woman holding a baby.
00:36:53She wore the same earring I'd once found in his car.
00:36:55Her designer dress matched the receipt I'd found in Vincent's pocket.
00:36:58Then I saw her face.
00:36:59I could never forget it.
00:37:01This woman had nearly taken everything from me.
00:37:03A year earlier, my adoptive father, the godfather, found his long-lost biological daughter,
00:37:08Sophia.
00:37:09Only then did I learn I wasn't his real daughter.
00:37:12From that day on, the family shut me out and stripped away every privilege I'd had.
00:37:16They crowned Sophia the princess of the Romano family.
00:37:19And I became the outsider who had stolen her place for years.
00:37:22I couldn't accept it.
00:37:23During one argument, Sophia's bodyguard beat me badly.
00:37:26And my adoptive father threw me out.
00:37:30Now, the brother who had always protected me was carefully cutting Sophia's stake.
00:37:35The best friend who'd sworn to stand by me forever was playing with Sophia's baby.
00:37:39And Vincent, who had just accused me of distrusting him, pulled Sophia into his arms as everyone cheered.
00:37:45The sight made the room spin.
00:37:49After I was thrown out, Vincent promised to care for me for the rest of my life.
00:37:54They all knew I had nowhere to go.
00:37:56Yet they still deceived me together.
00:37:58My eyes stung, but I forced back my tears.
00:38:01So this was what betrayal by the people closest to me felt like.
00:38:05I was a fool trapped in their web of lies.
00:38:07Then my phone lit up.
00:38:08One message gave me hope again.
00:38:10We've found your biological parents.
00:38:12We'll pick you up in three days.
00:38:14Thank goodness.
00:38:15Soon, I would have a real family of my own.
00:38:17In three days, I would leave these liars behind.
00:38:20And I would leave Vincent.
00:38:22I turned to go.
00:38:23I couldn't bear their fake smiles for another second.
00:38:26But a voice behind me suddenly called out.
00:38:28Alexia?
00:38:29Are you here for my son's first birthday party too?
00:38:32I stopped.
00:38:33Sophia walked toward me with a bright smile.
00:38:35Alexia?
00:38:35I thought you were still angry about father's decision.
00:38:38I'm glad you finally accepted it.
00:38:40By the way, this is our brother's new wife, Camille.
00:38:43You haven't met, have you?
00:38:45You'd already left home when they married.
00:38:48Hello.
00:38:49It's nice to meet you.
00:38:51Camille, my best friend and sister-in-law, gave me a mocking smile before nodding politely.
00:38:55She sounded polite but distant, as if we'd truly never met.
00:38:58Lorenzo watched me from the crowd with a complicated look, but said nothing.
00:39:01Sophia didn't seem to notice Camille's slip.
00:39:04Smiling, she pulled Vincent to her side and pressed close to him.
00:39:08This is my husband.
00:39:09His name is Vanessa.
00:39:11I cut her off with a smile.
00:39:13His name is Vanessa, and he owns this villa.
00:39:16Sophia froze.
00:39:17Her gaze darted between Vincent and me.
00:39:20How do you know his name?
00:39:21Do you two know each other?
00:39:22I didn't know his name.
00:39:23Vincent's face stiffened, and his eyes flashed a warning.
00:39:25I ignored it and smiled as I nodded.
00:39:28Of course.
00:39:29He's my fiancé.
00:39:30We've been together for five years, and we were about to get married.
00:39:33He bought this villa for me, too.
00:39:36Every detail was decorated to suit my taste.
00:39:38Didn't you know?
00:39:42I covered my mouth in feigned surprise.
00:39:45I only mentioned that the air was nice here, and Vincent bought me the entire villa.
00:39:48But I prefer our home in the city.
00:39:50So I rarely come here.
00:39:53That was what I said.
00:39:55But the truth was, I hadn't been the one avoiding this place.
00:39:58Vincetta had always claimed it was too far, and rarely brought me here.
00:40:02Now I finally understood.
00:40:03It was just another lie meant to keep me from discovering the truth.
00:40:07Alexia!
00:40:08I know you hate me, but you can't make up lies like this.
00:40:10I married Vincent if the year father brought me home.
00:40:12How could he possibly be your fiancé?
00:40:14With tears in her eyes, Sophia turned to Vincilla.
00:40:17What is going on?
00:40:18Vincenna, say something!
00:40:21Vincenna hurriedly trossed aside his cigar.
00:40:23Sophia, calm down.
00:40:24Let me explain.
00:40:25Watching him panic, I felt my heart freeze inch by inch.
00:40:27I was the one he'd deceived.
00:40:28Yet Sophia was the one he rushed to reassure.
00:40:31Something inside me finally snapped.
00:40:32A furious scream tore from my throat.
00:40:34Look carefully!
00:40:35The man beside you is my fiancé!
00:40:37He has tattoos across his back and chest.
00:40:39I gave him the gun at his waist on our first anniversary!
00:40:41I pointed at the gun, and Vincent immediately covered it with his hand.
00:40:45My name is engraved on it.
00:40:46I carved it myself.
00:40:47I pulled down my collar and revealed the scar on my shoulder.
00:40:50And this scar?
00:40:51I took a bullet for him when a mission went wrong.
00:40:53He sleeps beside me every night, and eats breakfast with me every morning.
00:40:57I even chose the suit he's wearing!
00:40:59So, my dear sister, you're the other woman.
00:41:02You're the secret lover he's been hiding from me!
00:41:05Alexia, shut up!
00:41:06The moment Sophia cried, all three of them tried to silence me at once.
00:41:09Cold fury churned in Vincent's eyes.
00:41:11Lorenzo and Kamel looked ready to rush over and cover my mouth.
00:41:14I laughed.
00:41:14Am I wrong?
00:41:15Don't tell me none of you knew.
00:41:17How much longer were you planning to deceive me?
00:41:19Vanessa pulled Sophia firmly into his arms.
00:41:22When he spoke to me, his voice was ice cold.
00:41:24Who gave you the right to speak to Sophia that way?
00:41:27She knew nothing.
00:41:28None of this is her fault.
00:41:33Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.
00:41:36Don't you understand?
00:41:37He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.
00:41:39The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.
00:41:42They're the couple who truly love each other.
00:41:44Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia as if afraid I might hurt him.
00:41:47We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.
00:41:49Sophia is father's biological daughter.
00:41:50Only her marriage to Vincita can earn father's blessing.
00:41:53Just walk away.
00:41:53I looked at Lorenzo, the man I'd called my brother for years.
00:41:56Then at my best friend, at the fiancé who'd sworn to love only me,
00:41:58and at Sophia, whose tearful eyes couldn't hide her triumph.
00:42:01My heart felt torn apart.
00:42:02So you convinced father to throw me out?
00:42:04You left me homeless and let people abuse me?
00:42:06Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.
00:42:09However you dress it up, she's still the other woman.
00:42:11Every one of you deceive me.
00:42:13You're all liars.
00:42:14Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.
00:42:17My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.
00:42:20I gave you a chance, Alexia.
00:42:22You're the one who refused it.
00:42:23I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.
00:42:26Don't test my limits.
00:42:27Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.
00:42:30Sunlight filled the room.
00:42:32Through the window, I could see a distant farm and the garden below.
00:42:35Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.
00:42:38He said I deserved the best.
00:42:40But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.
00:42:43Pink wallpaper.
00:42:44A canopy bed draped in sheer fabric.
00:42:46A claying cloud of perfume.
00:42:47A wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.
00:42:49Below it, photo Vincent and smaller pictures.
00:42:51Their baby, and family portraits of all three of them.
00:42:54Not a single trace of me remained.
00:42:56Face it, Alessia.
00:42:58Vincent and Sophia are in love.
00:42:59They belong together.
00:43:01He stayed only because you saved his life, and he owed you.
00:43:06I shook my head.
00:43:08No!
00:43:09I don't believe you!
00:43:10Camille patted my shoulder with a pitying look.
00:43:12Do you really think Sophia met the godfather only a year ago?
00:43:16They've been together for three years.
00:43:18He helped her find her biological father.
00:43:20After that, everyone accepted them.
00:43:21She stared into my eyes and delivered the cruelest blow.
00:43:24Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.
00:43:26And throwing you out, that was Vincent's idea.
00:43:28Once you were gone for good, no one could threaten Sophia's place in the family.
00:43:32I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.
00:43:34I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.
00:43:38When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.
00:43:42She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.
00:43:45She'd even warned Vincent'sa she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.
00:43:48Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.
00:43:50And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.
00:43:53I couldn't hold back anymore.
00:43:55Tears ran down my face.
00:43:56It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.
00:43:59The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.
00:44:01Footsteps sounded behind me.
00:44:02Vincent and Sophie entered the room.
00:44:04I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.
00:44:06If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.
00:44:08Alexa.
00:44:09Calm down, don't say things you'll regret.
00:44:10They spoke together, clearly surprised I would let go so easily.
00:44:13I only smiled and looked at Sophia.
00:44:14I was out of this game before it even began.
00:44:16I wish you both happiness.
00:44:20I turned and left.
00:44:22Vincent reached for me, but I stepped aside before he could grab me.
00:44:25Every betrayal.
00:44:26Every lie.
00:44:28I carved them all into my memory.
00:44:31I would never forgive them.
00:44:32And I would never forget.
00:44:34I was packing my bags when Vincent suddenly returned to our apartment.
00:44:37The moment he saw my suitcase, he exploded.
00:44:39Alessia, what are you doing?
00:44:40Are you moving out?
00:44:41Are you leaving me?
00:44:42I couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask.
00:44:44Shut up!
00:44:45I glared at him and slapped him hard across the face.
00:44:47Listen carefully, Vincent.
00:44:49You left me.
00:44:50You abandoned me.
00:44:51Should I stay until you throw me out yourself?
00:44:53His cheek quickly turned red.
00:44:55He pressed his tongue against the sore spot, but didn't get angry.
00:44:57Instead, he opened his arms and pulled me in an embrace.
00:44:59All right, sweetheart, I was wrong.
00:45:00Hit me or curse me if it helps.
00:45:01Do you feel better now?
00:45:02We've been together for five years.
00:45:03What we had was real.
00:45:04Can you truly let it go that easily?
00:45:06You nearly died saving me.
00:45:07I'll never forget that, and I would never abandon you.
00:45:09Only then did I realize I'd never truly known Vincent.
00:45:13When had he become this shameless and two-faced?
00:45:16I shoved him away and put distance between us.
00:45:19But Vincent only smiled and approached me with open arms again.
00:45:22Sophia is the Romano family's princess.
00:45:24Marrying her gives me more power.
00:45:26You don't even know who your biological father is.
00:45:28How will you survive without me?
00:45:29Vincent had gazed at me with such tenderness, as if he truly cared about my future.
00:45:33Sophia and I already have a child.
00:45:35My position in the family has never been stronger.
00:45:37Stay with me.
00:45:37I can give you everything except the title of wife.
00:45:39I wanted to throw up.
00:45:41Every word from his mouth made me sick.
00:45:43When I didn't answer, Vincent took my silence as consent.
00:45:46Smiling, he stroked my hair.
00:45:48Let me make it up to you.
00:45:49We'll go shopping, and I'll buy you anything you want.
00:45:51Before I could respond, Lorenzo and Camille rushed through the open door.
00:45:58Lorenzo charged at me and slapped me to the floor.
00:46:00Camille seized my collar and screamed in my face.
00:46:03Alexia!
00:46:03Where did you hide Sophia's baby?
00:46:05Sophia ran in crying and shook my shoulders.
00:46:07He took my baby, didn't you tell me where he is?
00:46:09He's only one, he'll die without me!
00:46:11I'll give Vincent back.
00:46:13I don't want my place in the family either.
00:46:14I'll give you anything, just return my baby!
00:46:16The smile vanished from Vincent's face.
00:46:18He stepped forward, tense.
00:46:20What do you mean the baby is missing?
00:46:21He disappeared during his nap.
00:46:23He can barely walk.
00:46:25Someone must have taken him.
00:46:27Vincent roared, pulled his gun, and pressed the barrel hard against my forehead.
00:46:31No wonder you were packing to run.
00:46:33You knew what you'd done and planned to flee before we caught you.
00:46:35Tell me, where did you hide him?
00:46:37The cold barrel touched my skin, and my blood seemed to freeze.
00:46:41Years ago, I hadn't feared being outnumbered in a gunfight.
00:46:43I hadn't been afraid when I took a bullet for Vincent.
00:46:45But now, I was truly terrified.
00:46:47Not of dying.
00:46:48I feared I wouldn't live to see them kneel and beg for mercy.
00:46:51I didn't do anything.
00:46:53I've never even seen that baby.
00:46:54Sophia collapsed to the floor, sobbing so hard she almost vanted.
00:46:58If you want revenge, take it out on me!
00:47:00The baby is innocent!
00:47:02If anything happens to him, I can't go on living!
00:47:04Each word tightened Vincent's grip on the gun.
00:47:08Click.
00:47:08He chambered around.
00:47:10In another second, the bullet would go through my head.
00:47:13I really don't know.
00:47:15I redone nothing.
00:47:16How could I confess?
00:47:17Lorenzo stood nearby, his face cold.
00:47:19Even if you were still my sister, I couldn't cover for you.
00:47:21And you're not anymore.
00:47:22He turned to Vincent.
00:47:23Alessia won't talk.
00:47:25Teach her a lesson, or she won't tell us anything.
00:47:26Vanessa nodded and lowered his gun, his eyes terrifyingly cold.
00:47:29Then beat her until she talks.
00:47:43Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.
00:47:46Don't you understand?
00:47:46He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.
00:47:49The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.
00:47:52They're the couple who truly love each other.
00:47:54Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia as if afraid I might hurt her.
00:47:57We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.
00:47:58Sophia is father's biological daughter.
00:48:00Only her marriage to Vincita can earn father's blessing.
00:48:02Just walk away.
00:48:03I looked at Lorenzo, the man I'd called my brother for years.
00:48:06Then at my best friend, at the fiancé who'd sworn to love only me.
00:48:08And at Sophia, whose tearful eyes couldn't hide her triumph.
00:48:10My heart felt torn apart.
00:48:12So you convinced father to throw me out?
00:48:14You left me homeless and let people abuse me?
00:48:16Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.
00:48:19However you dress it up, she's still the other woman.
00:48:21Every one of you deceive me.
00:48:23You're all liars.
00:48:23Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.
00:48:27My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.
00:48:30I gave you a chance, Alexia.
00:48:32You're the one who refused it.
00:48:33I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.
00:48:36Don't test my limits.
00:48:37Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.
00:48:41Sunlight filled the room.
00:48:42Through the window, I could see a distant barn in the garden below.
00:48:45Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.
00:48:48He said I deserved the best.
00:48:50But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.
00:48:53Pink wallpaper.
00:48:54A canopy bed draped in sheer fabric.
00:48:56A claying cloud of perfume.
00:48:57A wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.
00:48:59Below it, photo Vincent in smaller pictures.
00:49:01Their babies and family portraits of all three of them.
00:49:03Not a single trace of me remained.
00:49:05Face it, Alessia.
00:49:06Vincent and Sophia are in love.
00:49:08They belong together.
00:49:09He stayed only because you saved his life, and he owed you.
00:49:14I shook my head.
00:49:16No.
00:49:17I don't believe you.
00:49:18Camille patted my shoulder to get a pity and look.
00:49:21Do you really think Sophia met the godfather only a year ago?
00:49:24They've been together for three years.
00:49:26He helped her find her biological father.
00:49:28After that, everyone accepted me.
00:49:29She stared into my eyes and delivered the clearest glow.
00:49:32Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.
00:49:34And throwing you out, that was Vincent's idea.
00:49:37Once you were gone for good, no one could threaten Sophia's place in the family.
00:49:40I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.
00:49:42I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.
00:49:46When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.
00:49:50She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.
00:49:53She'd even warned Vincenta she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.
00:49:56Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.
00:49:58And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.
00:50:01I couldn't hold back anymore.
00:50:03Tears ran down my face.
00:50:04It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.
00:50:07The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.
00:50:09Footsteps sounded behind me.
00:50:10Vincent and Sophie entered the room.
00:50:12I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.
00:50:14If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.
00:50:16Alexa.
00:50:17I was the daughter of a mafia godfather.
00:50:19The day I met Vincent, he fell in love with me at first sight.
00:50:23The first time, I found a receipt from a luxury boutique in his pocket.
00:50:27It was a gift for another boss's wife.
00:50:29In our world, every courtesy has to be handled properly.
00:50:32I chose to believe him.
00:50:33The second time, I found an earring in his car that wasn't mine.
00:50:37One of his friends claimed it belonged to his girlfriend.
00:50:40And told me not to read into it.
00:50:42Then came a third time, and a fourth.
00:50:44Whenever I found something suspicious, someone always had an excuse ready.
00:50:48The tenth time, I pulled a box of condoms from under our bed and held it up in front of
00:50:52him.
00:50:54Who's are these?
00:50:55We never use this brand.
00:50:57Vincent paused halfway through, nodding his top.
00:50:59With a weary sigh, he made a call.
00:51:02Lorenzo.
00:51:03When you stayed over last time, did you leave a box of condoms here?
00:51:06Yeah.
00:51:07I've been looking for them.
00:51:09Sorry.
00:51:10Is my sister doubting you again?
00:51:11Then Camille, my sister-in-law, and my best friend started lecturing me.
00:51:15Alexia.
00:51:15Trust is the foundation of any relationship.
00:51:18You can't keep doubting Vincent.
00:51:20If you can't trust him, don't marry him.
00:51:23Stop taking Vincent's love for granted.
00:51:25After the call ended, Vincent spread his hands.
00:51:30Alessia, we should end this.
00:51:31This is the tenth time.
00:51:33Like Camille said, if you can't trust me, maybe we shouldn't.
00:51:35You're right.
00:51:37We're canceling the wedding.
00:51:38Vincent would never have guessed that no one else had left those condoms.
00:51:41I bought them myself and planted them under the bed.
00:51:47That single box was all it took to tear open the ugly truth behind our so-called love.
00:51:52I've canceled wedding photographer.
00:51:54Don't bother buying the rings.
00:51:55The moment I finished, Vincent tugged at his tie in annoyance.
00:51:58Alexia, how long are you going to keep this up?
00:52:00Even your brother vouched for me.
00:52:01What more do you want?
00:52:02He sat at the other end of the bed with his back to me.
00:52:04If you're sick, see a doctor.
00:52:06But stop suspecting me all day.
00:52:07You're only hurting our relationship.
00:52:09One day, your suspicions will wear away every bit of love I have for you.
00:52:13I'm serious, Alexia.
00:52:15A marriage can't last without trust.
00:52:17Before I could answer, his phone chimed.
00:52:19The instant he read the message, the irritation in his eyes melted into tenderness.
00:52:23But when he looked at me again, his gaze turned cold.
00:52:25I'm busy today.
00:52:26Find something to do so you don't sit around doubting me again.
00:52:29He straightened his tie and left without looking back.
00:52:32I knew Vincent was hiding something.
00:52:33Instead of taking my car, I hailed a cab and followed him.
00:52:36Forty minutes later, the cab stopped outside a villa in the suburbs.
00:52:40Through a window, I saw a living room filled with food and wine.
00:52:43Everyone around the table was painfully familiar.
00:52:45Beside Vincent sat a woman holding a baby.
00:52:47She wore the same earring I'd once found in his car.
00:52:50Her designer dress matched the receipt I'd found in Vincent's pocket.
00:52:53Then I saw her face.
00:52:54I could never forget it.
00:52:55This woman had nearly taken everything from me.
00:52:58A year earlier, my adoptive father, the godfather, found his long-lost biological daughter,
00:53:03Sophia.
00:53:04Only then did I learn I wasn't his real daughter.
00:53:06From that day on, the family shut me out and stripped away every privilege I'd had.
00:53:10They crowned Sophia the princess of the Romano family.
00:53:13And I became the outsider who had stolen her place for years.
00:53:17I couldn't accept it.
00:53:18During one argument, Sophia's bodyguard beat me badly.
00:53:20And my adoptive father threw me out.
00:53:25Now, the brother who had always protected me was carefully cutting Sophia's stake.
00:53:29The best friend who'd sworn to stand by me forever was playing with Sophia's baby.
00:53:33And Vincent, who had just accused me of distrusting him, pulled Sophia into his arms as everyone cheered.
00:53:40The sight made the room spin.
00:53:43After I was thrown out, Vincent promised to care for me for the rest of my life.
00:53:49They all knew I had nowhere to go.
00:53:50Yet they still deceived me together.
00:53:52My eyes stung, but I forced back my tears.
00:53:56So this was what betrayal by the people closest to me felt like.
00:53:59I was a fool trapped in their web of lies.
00:54:01Then my phone lit up.
00:54:03One message gave me hope again.
00:54:04We've found your biological parents.
00:54:06We'll pick you up in three days.
00:54:08Thank goodness.
00:54:10Soon, I would have a real family of my own.
00:54:12In three days, I would leave these liars behind.
00:54:15And I would leave Vincent.
00:54:17I turned to go.
00:54:18I couldn't bear their fake smiles for another second.
00:54:20But a voice behind me suddenly called out.
00:54:23Alexia?
00:54:24Are you here for my son's first birthday party too?
00:54:26I stopped.
00:54:27Sophia walked toward me with a bright smile.
00:54:29Alexia, I thought you were still angry about father's decision.
00:54:32I'm glad you finally accepted it.
00:54:34By the way, this is our brother's new wife, Camille.
00:54:38You haven't met, have you?
00:54:40You'd already left home when they married.
00:54:43Hello.
00:54:44It's nice to meet you.
00:54:45Camille, my best friend and sister-in-law, gave me a mocking smile before nodding politely.
00:54:49She sounded polite but distant, as if we'd truly never met.
00:54:52Lorenzo watched me from the crowd with a complicated look, but said nothing.
00:54:56Sophia didn't seem to notice Camille's slip.
00:54:59Smiling, she pulled Vincent to her side and pressed close to him.
00:55:03This is my husband.
00:55:04His name is Vanessa.
00:55:05I cut her off with a smile.
00:55:07His name is Vanessa, and he owns this villa.
00:55:10Sophia froze.
00:55:12Her gaze darted between Vincent and me.
00:55:14How do you know his name?
00:55:15Do you two know each other?
00:55:17Vincent's face stiffened, and his eyes flashed a warning.
00:55:20I ignored it and smiled as I nodded.
00:55:22Of course, he's my fiancé.
00:55:25We've been together for five years, and we were about to get married.
00:55:28He bought this villa for me, too.
00:55:30Every detail was decorated to suit my taste.
00:55:32Didn't you know?
00:55:37I covered my mouth in feigned surprise.
00:55:39I only mentioned that the air was nice here, and Vincent bought me the entire villa.
00:55:43But I prefer our home in the city, so I rarely come here.
00:55:48That was what I said.
00:55:49But the truth was, I hadn't been the one avoiding this place.
00:55:53Vincetta had always claimed it was too far, and rarely brought me here.
00:55:56Now I finally understood.
00:55:58It was just another lie meant to keep me from discovering the truth.
00:56:02Alexia!
00:56:02I know you hate me, but you can't make up lies like this.
00:56:05I married Vincent if the year father brought me home.
00:56:07How could he possibly be your fiancé?
00:56:09With tears in her eyes, Sophia turned to Vincilla.
00:56:12What is going on?
00:56:13Vincenna, say something!
00:56:15Vincenna hurriedly trossed aside his cigar.
00:56:17Sophia, calm down.
00:56:18Let me explain.
00:56:19Watching him panic, I felt my heart freeze inch by inch.
00:56:22I was the one he'd deceived.
00:56:23Yet Sophia was the one he rushed to reassure.
00:56:25Something inside me finally snapped.
00:56:27A furious scream tore from my throat.
00:56:29Look carefully!
00:56:29The man beside you is my fiancé!
00:56:31He has tattoos across his back and chest.
00:56:33I gave him the gun at his waist on our first anniversary!
00:56:36I pointed at the gun, and Vincent immediately covered it with his hand.
00:56:39My name is engraved on it.
00:56:41I carved it myself.
00:56:41I pulled down my collar and revealed the scar on my shoulder.
00:56:44And this scar?
00:56:45I took a bullet for him when a mission went wrong.
00:56:48He sleeps beside me every night, and eats breakfast with me every morning.
00:56:51I even chose the suit he's wearing!
00:56:53So, my dear sister, you're the other woman.
00:56:57You're the secret lover he's been hiding from me!
00:56:59Alexia, shut up!
00:57:00The moment Sophia cried, all three of them tried to silence me at once.
00:57:04Cold fury turned in Vincent's eyes.
00:57:06Lorendo and Kamel looked ready to rush over and cover my mouth.
00:57:08I laughed.
00:57:09Am I wrong?
00:57:10Don't tell me none of you knew!
00:57:11How much longer were you planning to deceive me?
00:57:13Vanessa pulled Sophia firmly into his arms.
00:57:16When he spoke to me, his voice was ice cold.
00:57:18Who gave you the right to speak to Sophia that way?
00:57:21She knew nothing.
00:57:22None of this is her fault.
00:57:27Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.
00:57:30Don't you understand?
00:57:31He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.
00:57:34The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.
00:57:37They're the couple who truly love each other.
00:57:39Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia as if afraid I might hurt her.
00:57:41We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.
00:57:43Sophia is father's biological daughter.
00:57:45Only her marriage to Vincita can earn father's blessing.
00:57:47Just walk away.
00:57:47I looked at Lorenzo, the man I'd called my brother for years.
00:57:50Then at my best friend, at the fiancé who'd sworn to love only me, and at Sophia, whose
00:57:53tearful eyes couldn't hide her triumph.
00:57:55My heart felt torn apart.
00:57:56So you convinced father to throw me out?
00:57:58You left me homeless and let people abuse me?
00:58:00Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.
00:58:04However you dress it up, she's still the other woman.
00:58:06Every one of you deceive me.
00:58:07You're all liars!
00:58:08Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.
00:58:12My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.
00:58:14I gave you a chance, Alexia.
00:58:16You're the one who refused it.
00:58:18I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.
00:58:20Don't test my limits.
00:58:22Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.
00:58:25Sunlight filled the room.
00:58:26Through the window, I could see a distant farm and the garden below.
00:58:30Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.
00:58:32He said I deserved the best.
00:58:34But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.
00:58:37Pink wallpaper, a canopy bed draped in sheer fabric, a claying cloud of perfume,
00:58:42a wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.
00:58:44Below it, photo of Vincent and smaller pictures, their baby, and family portraits of all three of them.
00:58:48Not a single trace of me remained.
00:58:51Face it, Alessia.
00:58:52Vincent and Sophia are in love.
00:58:54They belong together.
00:58:56He stayed only because you saved his life, and he owed you.
00:59:00I shook my head.
00:59:03No!
00:59:03I don't believe you!
00:59:05Camille patted my shoulder with a pitying look.
00:59:07Do you really think Sophia met the godfather only a year ago?
00:59:10They've been together for three years.
00:59:12He helped her find her biological father.
00:59:14After that, everyone accepted them.
00:59:16She stared into my eyes and delivered the cruelest blow.
00:59:19Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.
00:59:21And throwing you out, that was Vincent's idea.
00:59:23Once you were gone for good, no one could threaten Sophia's place in the family.
00:59:26I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.
00:59:29I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.
00:59:32When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.
00:59:36She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.
00:59:39She'd even warned Vincenza she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.
00:59:42Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.
00:59:44And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.
00:59:47I couldn't hold back anymore.
00:59:49Tears ran down my face.
00:59:51It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.
00:59:53The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.
00:59:55Footsteps sounded behind me.
00:59:57Vincent and Sophie entered the room.
00:59:58I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.
01:00:00If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.
01:00:02Alexa.
01:00:03Calm down, don't say things you'll regret.
01:00:04They spoke together, clearly surprised I would let go so easily.
01:00:07I only smiled and looked at Sophia.
01:00:09I was out of this game before it even began.
01:00:11I wish you both happiness.
01:00:14I turned and left.
01:00:16Vincent reached for me, but I stepped aside before he could grab me.
01:00:20Every betrayal.
01:00:21Every lie.
01:00:23I carved them all into my memory.
01:00:25I would never forgive them.
01:00:27And I would never forget.
01:00:28I was packing my bags when Vincent suddenly returned to our apartment.
01:00:31The moment he saw my suitcase, he exploded.
01:00:34Alessia, what are you doing?
01:00:35Are you moving out?
01:00:36Are you leaving me?
01:00:37I couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask.
01:00:39Shut up.
01:00:39I glared at him and slapped him hard across the face.
01:00:42Listen carefully, Vincent.
01:00:43You left me.
01:00:44You abandoned me.
01:00:45Should I stay until you throw me out yourself?
01:00:48His cheek quickly turned red.
01:00:49He pressed his tongue against the sore spot, but didn't get angry.
01:00:52Instead, he opened his arms and pulled me into an embrace.
01:00:54All right, sweetheart, I was wrong.
01:00:55Hit me or curse me if it helps.
01:00:56Do you feel better now?
01:00:57We've been together for five years.
01:00:58What we had was real.
01:00:58Can you truly let it go that easily?
01:01:00You nearly died saving me.
01:01:01I'll never forget that.
01:01:02And I would never abandon you.
01:01:03Only then did I realize I'd never truly known Vincent.
01:01:07When had he become this shameless and two-faced?
01:01:10I shoved him away and put distance between us.
01:01:13But Vincent only smiled and approached me with open arms again.
01:01:17Sophia is the Romano family's princess.
01:01:19Marrying her gives me more power.
01:01:20You don't even know who your biological father is.
01:01:22How will you survive without me?
01:01:24Vincent had gazed at me with such tenderness, as if he truly cared about my future.
01:01:27Sophia and I already have a child.
01:01:29My position in the family has never been stronger.
01:01:31Stay with me.
01:01:32I can give you everything except the title of wife.
01:01:34I wanted to throw up.
01:01:36Every word from his mouth made me sick.
01:01:38When I didn't answer, Vincent took my silence as consent.
01:01:40Smiling, he stroked my hair.
01:01:42Let me make it up to you.
01:01:44We'll go shopping, and I'll buy you anything you want.
01:01:46Before I could respond, Lorenzo and Camille rushed through the open door.
01:01:52Lorenzo charged at me and slapped me to the floor.
01:01:55Camille seized my collar and screamed in my face.
01:01:57Alexia, where did you hide Sophia's baby?
01:02:00Sophia ran in crying and shook my shoulders.
01:02:02You took my baby.
01:02:03Just you.
01:02:03Tell me where he is.
01:02:04He's only one.
01:02:05He'll die without me.
01:02:06I'll give Vincent back.
01:02:07I don't want my place in the family either.
01:02:09I'll give you anything.
01:02:09Just return my baby.
01:02:11The smile vanished from Vincent's face.
01:02:13He stepped forward, tense.
01:02:14What do you mean the baby's missing?
01:02:16He disappeared during his nap.
01:02:17He can barely walk.
01:02:19Someone must have taken him.
01:02:22Vincent roared, pulled his gun, and pressed the barrel hard against my forehead.
01:02:25No wonder you were packing to run.
01:02:27You knew what you'd done and planned to flee before we caught you.
01:02:30Tell me, where did you hide him?
01:02:32The cold barrel touched my skin, and my blood seemed to freeze.
01:02:35Years ago, I hadn't feared being outnumbered in a gunfight.
01:02:37I hadn't been afraid when I took a bullet for Vincent.
01:02:39But now, I was truly terrified.
01:02:42Not of dying.
01:02:43I feared I wouldn't live to see them kneel and beg for mercy.
01:02:46I didn't do anything.
01:02:47I've never even seen that baby.
01:02:49Sophia collapsed to the floor, sobbing so hard she almost vanted.
01:02:52If you want revenge, take it out on me!
01:02:55The baby is innocent!
01:02:56If anything happens to him, I can't go on living!
01:02:59Each word tightened Vincent's grip on the gun.
01:03:02Click.
01:03:03He chambered around.
01:03:05In another second, the bullet would go through my head.
01:03:08I really don't know.
01:03:09I redone nothing.
01:03:11How could I confess?
01:03:12Lorenzo stood nearby, his face cold.
01:03:14Even if you were still my sister, I couldn't cover for you.
01:03:16And you're not anymore.
01:03:17He turned to Vincent.
01:03:18Alessia won't talk.
01:03:19Teach her a lesson, or she won't tell us anything.
01:03:21Vanessa nodded and lowered his gun, his eyes terrifyingly cold.
01:03:24Then beat her until she talks.
01:03:37Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.
01:03:40Don't you understand?
01:03:41He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.
01:03:43The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.
01:03:46They're the couple who truly love each other.
01:03:48Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia as if afraid I might hurt her.
01:03:51We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.
01:03:53Sophia is father's biological daughter.
01:03:54Only her marriage to Vincita can earn father's blessing.
01:03:57Just walk away.
01:03:57I looked at Lorenzo, the man I'd called my brother for years.
01:04:00Then at my best friend, at the fiancé who'd sworn to love only me.
01:04:02And at Sophia, whose tearful eyes couldn't hide her triumph.
01:04:05My heart felt torn apart.
01:04:06So you convinced father to throw me out?
01:04:08You left me homeless and let people abuse me?
01:04:10Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.
01:04:14However you dress it up, she's still the other woman.
01:04:16Every one of you deceive me.
01:04:17You're all liars.
01:04:18Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.
01:04:21My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.
01:04:24I gave you a chance, Alessia.
01:04:26You're the one who refused it.
01:04:28I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.
01:04:30Don't test my limits.
01:04:32Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.
01:04:35Sunlight filled the room.
01:04:36Through the window, I could see a distant barn and the garden below.
01:04:39Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.
01:04:42He said I deserved the best.
01:04:44But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.
01:04:47Pink wallpaper.
01:04:48A canopy bed draped in sheer fabric.
01:04:50A claying cloud of perfume.
01:04:51A wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.
01:04:53Below it, photo Vincent in smaller pictures.
01:04:55Their babies and family portraits of all three of them.
01:04:58Not a single trace of me remained.
01:04:59Face it, Alessia.
01:05:00Vincent and Sophia are in love.
01:05:02They belong together.
01:05:04He stayed only because you saved his life, and he owed you.
01:05:08I shook my head.
01:05:11No.
01:05:12I don't believe you.
01:05:13Neil patted my shoulder to the pity and looked.
01:05:15Do you really think Sophia met the Godfather only a year ago?
01:05:18They've been together for three years.
01:05:20He helped her find her biological father.
01:05:22After that, everyone accepted me.
01:05:24She stared into my eyes and delivered the clearest glow.
01:05:27Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.
01:05:29And throwing you out, that was Vincent's idea.
01:05:31Once you were gone for good, no one could threaten Sophia's placement for me.
01:05:34I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.
01:05:36I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.
01:05:40When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.
01:05:44She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.
01:05:48She'd even warned Vincent that she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.
01:05:51Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.
01:05:53And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.
01:05:55I couldn't hold back anymore.
01:05:57Tears ran down my face.
01:05:59It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.
01:06:01The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.
01:06:03Footsteps sounded behind me.
01:06:04Vincent and Sophie entered the room.
01:06:07I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.
01:06:09If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.
01:06:11Relax.
01:06:11I was the daughter of a mafia godfather.
01:06:14The day I met Vincent, he fell in love with me at first sight.
01:06:18The first time, I found a receipt from a luxury boutique in his pocket.
01:06:21It was a gift for another boss's wife.
01:06:23In our world, every courtesy has to be handled properly.
01:06:26I chose to believe him.
01:06:28The second time, I found an earring in his car that wasn't mine.
01:06:31One of his friends claimed it belonged to his girlfriend and told me not to read into it.
01:06:36Then came a third time and a fourth.
01:06:38Whenever I found something suspicious, someone always had an excuse ready.
01:06:43The tenth time, I pulled a box of condoms from under our bed and held it up in front of
01:06:47him.
01:06:49Who's are these?
01:06:50We never use this brand.
01:06:51Vincent paused halfway through, nodding his tongue.
01:06:54With a weary sigh, he made a call.
01:06:56Lorenzo, when you stayed over last time, did you leave a box of condoms here?
01:07:00Yeah, I've been looking for them.
01:07:03Sorry.
01:07:04Is my sister doubting you again?
01:07:06Then Camille, my sister-in-law, and my best friend started lecturing me.
01:07:09Alexia, trust is the foundation of any relationship.
01:07:13You can't keep doubting Vincent.
01:07:15If you can't trust him, don't marry him.
01:07:17Stop taking Vincent's love for granted.
01:07:19After the call ended, Vincent spread his hands.
01:07:24Alessia, we should end this.
01:07:26This is the tenth time.
01:07:27Like Camille said, if you can't trust me, maybe we shouldn't.
01:07:30You're right.
01:07:31We're cancelling the wedding.
01:07:33Vincent would never have guessed that no one else had left those condoms.
01:07:36I bought them myself and planted them under the bed.
01:07:41That single box was all it took to tear open the ugly truth behind our so-called love.
01:07:46I've cancelled the wedding photographer.
01:07:48Don't bother buying the rings.
01:07:49The moment I finished, Vincent tugged at his tie in annoyance.
01:07:53Alexia, how long are you going to keep this up?
01:07:54Even your brother vouched for me.
01:07:55What more do you want?
01:07:56He sat at the other end of the bed with his back to me.
01:07:59If you're sick, see a doctor.
01:08:00But stop suspecting me all day.
01:08:02You're only hurting our relationship.
01:08:04One day, your suspicions will wear away every bit of love I have for you.
01:08:07I'm serious, Alexia.
01:08:09A marriage can't last without trust.
01:08:11Before I could answer, his phone chimed.
01:08:13The instant he read the message, the irritation in his eyes melted into tenderness.
01:08:17But when he looked at me again, his gaze turned cold.
01:08:20I'm busy today.
01:08:21Find something to do so you don't sit around doubting me again.
01:08:23He straightened his tie and left without looking back.
01:08:26I knew Vincent was hiding something.
01:08:28Instead of taking my car, I hailed a cab and followed him.
01:08:31Forty minutes later, the cab stopped outside a villa in the suburbs.
01:08:34Through a window, I saw a living room filled with food and wine.
01:08:37Everyone around the table was painfully familiar.
01:08:40Beside Vincent sat a woman holding a baby.
01:08:42She wore the same earring I'd once found in his car.
01:08:44Her designer dress matched the receipt I'd found in Vincent's pocket.
01:08:47Then I saw her face.
01:08:48I could never forget it.
01:08:50This woman had nearly taken everything from me.
01:08:52A year earlier, my adoptive father, the godfather, found his long-lost biological daughter,
01:08:57Sophia.
01:08:58Only then did I learn I wasn't his real daughter.
01:09:00From that day on, the family shut me out and stripped away every privilege I'd had.
01:09:05They crowned Sophia the princess of the Romano family.
01:09:07And I became the outsider who had stolen her place for years.
01:09:11I couldn't accept it.
01:09:12During one argument, Sophia's bodyguard beat me badly.
01:09:15And my adoptive father threw me out.
01:09:19Now, the brother who had always protected me was carefully cutting Sophia's steak.
01:09:24The best friend who'd sworn to stand by me forever was playing with Sophia's baby.
01:09:27And Vincent, who had just accused me of distrusting him, pulled Sophia into his arms as everyone cheered.
01:09:34The sight made the room spin.
01:09:38After I was thrown out, Vincent promised to care for me for the rest of my life.
01:09:43They all knew I had nowhere to go.
01:09:45Yet they still deceived me together.
01:09:47My eyes stung.
01:09:48But I forced back my tears.
01:09:50So this was what betrayal by the people closest to me felt like.
01:09:53I was a fool trapped in their web of lies.
01:09:56Then my phone lit up.
01:09:57One message gave me hope again.
01:09:59We've found your biological parents.
01:10:01We'll pick you up in three days.
01:10:03Thank goodness.
01:10:04Soon, I would have a real family of my own.
01:10:06In three days, I would leave these liars behind.
01:10:09And I would leave Vincent.
01:10:11I turned to go.
01:10:12I couldn't bear their fake smiles for another second.
01:10:15But a voice behind me suddenly called out.
01:10:17Alexia?
01:10:18Are you here for my son's first birthday party too?
01:10:20I stopped.
01:10:22Sophia walked toward me with a bright smile.
01:10:24Alexia?
01:10:25I thought you were still angry about father's decision.
01:10:27I'm glad you finally accepted it.
01:10:29By the way, this is our brother's new wife, Camille.
01:10:32You haven't met, have you?
01:10:34You'd already left home when they married.
01:10:37Hello.
01:10:38It's nice to meet you.
01:10:39Camille, my best friend and sister-in-law, gave me a mocking smile before nodding politely.
01:10:44She sounded polite but distant, as if we'd truly never met.
01:10:47Lorenzo watched me from the crowd with a complicated look, but said nothing.
01:10:50Sophia didn't seem to notice Camille's slip.
01:10:53Smiling, she pulled Vincent to her side and pressed close to him.
01:10:57This is my husband.
01:10:58His name is Vanessa.
01:11:00I cut her off with a smile.
01:11:02His name is Vanessa, and he owns this villa.
01:11:05Sophia froze.
01:11:06Her gaze darted between Vincent and me.
01:11:09How do you know his name?
01:11:10Do you two know each other?
01:11:11Vincent's face stiffened, and his eyes flashed a warning.
01:11:14I ignored it and smiled as I nodded.
01:11:17Of course.
01:11:18He's my fiancé.
01:11:19We've been together for five years, and we were about to get married.
01:11:22He bought this villa for me, too.
01:11:25Every detail was decorated to suit my taste.
01:11:27Didn't you know?
01:11:31I covered my mouth in feigned surprise.
01:11:33I only mentioned that the air was nice here, and Vincent bought me the entire villa.
01:11:37But I prefer our home in the city, so I rarely come here.
01:11:42That was what I said.
01:11:43But the truth was, I hadn't been the one avoiding this place.
01:11:47Vincetta had always claimed it was too far, and rarely brought me here.
01:11:50Now I finally understood.
01:11:52It was just another lie meant to keep me from discovering the truth.
01:11:56Alexia!
01:11:57I know you hate me, but you can't make up lies like this.
01:11:59I married Vincent since the year father brought me home.
01:12:01How could he possibly be your fiancé?
01:12:03With tears in her eyes, Sophia turned to Vincilla.
01:12:06What is going on?
01:12:07Vincennes, say something!
01:12:10Vinicet hurriedly trossed aside his cigar.
01:12:11Sophia, calm down.
01:12:13Let me explain.
01:12:13Watching him panic, I felt my heart freeze inch by inch.
01:12:16I was the one he'd deceived.
01:12:17Yet Sophia was the one he rushed to reassure.
01:12:19Something inside me finally snapped.
01:12:21A furious scream tore from my throat.
01:12:23Look carefully!
01:12:24The man beside you is my fiancé!
01:12:26He has tattoos across his back and chest.
01:12:27I gave him the gun at his waist on our first anniversary!
01:12:30I pointed at the gun, and Vincent immediately covered it with his hand.
01:12:34My name is engraved on it.
01:12:35I carved it myself.
01:12:36I pulled down my collar and revealed the scar on my shoulder.
01:12:38And this scar?
01:12:40I took a bullet for him when a mission went wrong.
01:12:42He sleeps beside me every night, and eats breakfast with me every morning.
01:12:46I even chose the suit he's wearing!
01:12:48So, my dear sister, you're the other woman.
01:12:51You're the secret lover he's been hiding from me!
01:12:54Alexia, shut up!
01:12:55The moment Sophia cried, all three of them tried to silence me at once.
01:12:58Cold fury churned in Vincent's eyes.
01:13:00Lorenzo and Kamel looked ready to rush over and cover my mouth.
01:13:03I laughed.
01:13:03Am I wrong?
01:13:04Don't tell me none of you knew!
01:13:06How much longer were you planning to deceive me?
01:13:08Vanessa pulled Sophia firmly into his arms.
01:13:10When he spoke to me, his voice was ice cold.
01:13:13Who gave you the right to speak to Sophia that way?
01:13:15She knew nothing.
01:13:17None of this is her fault.
01:13:22Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.
01:13:25Don't you understand?
01:13:25He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.
01:13:28The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.
01:13:31They're the couple who truly love each other.
01:13:33Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia as if afraid I might hurt her.
01:13:36We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.
01:13:37Sophia is father's biological daughter.
01:13:39Only her marriage to Vincita can earn father's blessing.
01:13:41Just walk away.
01:13:42I looked at Lorenzo, the man I'd called my brother for years.
01:13:45Then at my best friend, at the fiancé who'd sworn to love only me.
01:13:47And at Sophia, whose tearful eyes couldn't hide her triumph.
01:13:49My heart felt torn apart.
01:13:51So you convinced father to throw me out?
01:13:53You left me homeless and let people abuse me?
01:13:55Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.
01:13:58However you dress it up, she's still the other woman.
01:14:00Every one of you deceive me.
01:14:02You're all liars!
01:14:03Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.
01:14:06My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.
01:14:09I gave you a chance, Alexia.
01:14:10You're the one who refused it.
01:14:12I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.
01:14:15Don't test my limits.
01:14:16Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.
01:14:20Sunlight filled the room.
01:14:21Through the window, I could see a distant farm and the garden below.
01:14:24Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.
01:14:27He said I deserved the best.
01:14:29But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.
01:14:32Pink wallpaper.
01:14:33A canopy bed draped in sheer fabric.
01:14:35A claying cloud of perfume.
01:14:36A wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.
01:14:38Below it, photo Vincent and smaller pictures, their baby, and family portraits of all three
01:14:42of them.
01:14:42Not a single trace of me remained.
01:14:45Face it, Alessia.
01:14:47Vincent and Sophia are in love.
01:14:49They belong together.
01:14:50He stayed only because you saved his life, and he owed you.
01:14:55I shook my head.
01:14:57No!
01:14:58I don't believe you!
01:14:59Camille patted my shoulder with a pitying look.
01:15:01Do you really think Sophia met the Godfather only a year ago?
01:15:04They've been together for three years.
01:15:06He helped her find her biological father.
01:15:08After that, everyone accepted them.
01:15:10She stared into my eyes and delivered the cruelest blow.
01:15:13Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.
01:15:15And throwing you out, that was Vincent's idea.
01:15:17Once you were gone for good, no one could threaten Sophia's place in the family.
01:15:21I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.
01:15:23I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.
01:15:27When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.
01:15:30She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.
01:15:34She'd even warned Vincenta she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.
01:15:37Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.
01:15:39And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.
01:15:41I couldn't hold back anymore.
01:15:43Tears ran down my face.
01:15:45It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.
01:15:47The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.
01:15:49Footsteps sounded behind me.
01:15:51Vincent and Sophie entered the room.
01:15:53I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.
01:15:55If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.
01:15:57Alexa.
01:15:57Calm down, don't say things you'll regret.
01:15:59They spoke together, clearly surprised I would let go so easily.
01:16:02I only smiled and looked at Sophia.
01:16:03I was out of this game before it even began.
01:16:05I wish you both happiness.
01:16:09I turned and left.
01:16:10Vincent reached for me, but I stepped aside before he could grab me.
01:16:14Every betrayal, every lie, I carved them all into my memory.
01:16:19I would never forgive them.
01:16:21And I would never forget.
01:16:22I was packing my bags when Vincent suddenly returned to our apartment.
01:16:26The moment he saw my suitcase, he exploded.
01:16:28Alessia, what are you doing?
01:16:29Are you moving out?
01:16:30Are you leaving me?
01:16:31I couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask.
01:16:33Shut up!
01:16:34I glared at him and slapped him hard across the face.
01:16:36Listen carefully, Vincent.
01:16:37You left me.
01:16:39You abandoned me.
01:16:40Should I stay until you throw me out yourself?
01:16:42His cheek quickly turned red.
01:16:44He pressed his tongue against the sore spot, but didn't get angry.
01:16:46Instead, he opened his arms and pulled me into an embrace.
01:16:48Sweetheart, I was wrong.
01:16:49Hit me or curse me if it helps.
01:16:50Do you feel better now?
01:16:51We've been together for five years.
01:16:52What we had was real.
01:16:53Can you truly let it go that easily?
01:16:54You nearly died saving me.
01:16:56I'll never forget that, and I would never abandon you.
01:16:57Only then did I realize I'd never truly known Vincent.
01:17:01When had he become this shameless and two-faced?
01:17:05I shoved him away and put distance between us.
01:17:08But Vincent only smiled and approached me with open arms again.
01:17:11Sophia is the Romano family's princess.
01:17:13Marrying her gives me more power.
01:17:15You don't even know who your biological father is.
01:17:17How will you survive without me?
01:17:18Vincent gazed at me with such tenderness, as if he truly cared about my future.
01:17:22Sophia and I already have a child.
01:17:23My position in the family has never been stronger.
01:17:25Stay with me.
01:17:26I can give you everything except the title of wife.
01:17:28I wanted to throw up.
01:17:30Every word from his mouth made me sick.
01:17:32When I didn't answer, Vincenza took my silence as consent.
01:17:35Smiling, he stroked my hair.
01:17:37Let me make it up to you.
01:17:38We'll go shopping, and I'll buy you anything you want.
01:17:40Before I could respond, Lorenzo and Camille rushed through the open door.
01:17:47Lorenzo charged at me and slapped me to the floor.
01:17:49Camille seized my collar and screamed in my face.
01:17:52Alexia, where did you hide Sophia's baby?
01:17:54Sophia ran in crying and shook my shoulders.
01:17:56You took my baby.
01:17:57Did you tell me where he is?
01:17:58He's only one.
01:17:59He'll die without me.
01:18:00I'll give Vincent back.
01:18:01I don't want my place in the family either.
01:18:03I'll give you anything.
01:18:04Just return my baby.
01:18:05The smile vanished from Vincent's face.
01:18:07He stepped forward, tense.
01:18:09What do you mean the baby is missing?
01:18:10He disappeared during his nap.
01:18:12He can barely walk.
01:18:13Someone must have taken him.
01:18:16Vincent roared, pulled his gun, and pressed the barrel hard against my forehead.
01:18:20No wonder you were packing to run.
01:18:21You knew what you'd done and planned to flee before we caught you.
01:18:24Tell me, where did you hide him?
01:18:26The cold barrel touched my skin, and my blood seemed to freeze.
01:18:29Years ago, I hadn't feared being outnumbered in a gunfight.
01:18:32I hadn't been afraid when I took a bullet for Vincent.
01:18:34But now, I was truly terrified.
01:18:36Not of dying.
01:18:37I feared I wouldn't live to see them kneel and beg for mercy.
01:18:40I didn't do anything.
01:18:41I've never even seen that baby.
01:18:43Sophia collapsed to the floor, sobbing so hard she almost vanted.
01:18:46If you want revenge, take it out on me!
01:18:49The baby is innocent!
01:18:51If anything happens to him, I can't go on living!
01:18:54Each word tightened Vincent's grip on the gun.
01:18:56Click.
01:18:57He chambered around.
01:18:59In another second, the bullet would go through my head.
01:19:02I really don't know.
01:19:04I redone nothing.
01:19:05How could I confess?
01:19:06Lorenzo stood nearby, his face cold.
01:19:08Even if you were still my sister, I couldn't cover for you.
01:19:10And you're not anymore.
01:19:11He turned to Vincent.
01:19:12Alessia won't talk.
01:19:13Teach her a lesson, or she won't tell us anything.
01:19:15Vanessa nodded and lowered his gun, his eyes terrifyingly cold.
01:19:18Then beat her until she talks.
01:19:32Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.
01:19:33Don't you understand?
01:19:34He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.
01:19:35The godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports him.
01:19:37They're the couple who truly love each other.
01:19:38Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia as if afraid I might hurt her.
01:19:40You hid the truth to spare you in humiliation.
01:19:41Sophia is father's violation of his daughter.
01:19:42Only her marriage can consider her father's blessing to just walk away.
01:19:44I looked at Lorenzo, the man I called my brother for years, and at my best friend,
01:19:46the fiancé, sworn to love only me, and at Sophia, whose tearful eyes couldn't hide her time.
01:19:48My heart felt torn apart.
01:19:49So you convinced father to throw me out?
01:19:50You left me homeless and let people abuse me?
01:19:51Every very grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.
01:19:53However you dressed up, she's still the other woman.
01:19:54Every one of you deceived me.
01:19:55You're all liars!
01:19:56Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.
01:19:58My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.
01:19:59I gave you a chance.
01:20:00Bless you.
01:20:00You're the one who refused it.
01:20:01I warned you not to keep it out, Sophia, that way.
01:20:03Don't test my limits.
01:20:04Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.
01:20:06Sunlight filled the room.
01:20:06Through the window, I could see a distant farm in the garden below.
01:20:08Vanessa had originally chosen to discern from himself.
01:20:10He said I deserved the best.
01:20:11But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.
01:20:13Pink wallpaper, the canopy bed draped in sheer fabric, a claying cloud of turkey, a wedding
01:20:15photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.
01:20:17Below it photo of interesting smaller pictures, their babies, and family portraits of all three
01:20:19of them.
01:20:19Not a single trace of me remained.
01:20:20Face it, the lesson.
01:20:21Vincent and Sophia are in love.
01:20:22They belong together.
01:20:23He stayed only because you saved his life, and he owed you.
01:20:25I shook my head.
01:20:27No!
01:20:27I don't believe you!
01:20:28Camille padded my shoulder and a speeding look.
01:20:29Do you think he used to feel like the godfather only gave you a day?
01:20:31They've been together for three years.
01:20:32He helped her find her biological father.
01:20:33After that, everyone accepted.
01:20:34She stared into my eyes and delivered the clearest blow.
01:20:36Lorenzo and I both really did a perfect match, and thrown me out that was what she did.
01:20:39Once we were gone for good, no one could threaten to do this business for me.
01:20:41I stared at Camille as if she were strong.
01:20:42I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, my doublets.
01:20:44When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she hugged me, laughing through tears.
01:20:46She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.
01:20:48She'd even warned Vincent that she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.
01:20:50Yet now she helped another woman take him from me, and she said I was the one who shouldn't
01:20:52exist.
01:20:53I couldn't hold back anymore.
01:20:54Tears ran down my face.
01:20:55It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.
01:20:56The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.
01:20:58Footsteps sounded behind me.
01:21:02I was the daughter of a mafia godfather.
01:21:04The day I met Vincent, he fell in love with me at first sight.
01:21:06The first time, I found a receipt from a luxury boutique in his pocket.
01:21:08It was a gift for another boss' wife.
01:21:09In our world, every courtesy has to be handled properly.
01:21:11I chose to believe him.
01:21:12The second time, I found an earring in his car that wasn't mine.
01:21:14One of his friends claimed it belonged to his girlfriend, and told me not to read into it.
01:21:17Then came third time, and fourth, whenever I found something suspicious, someone always
01:21:19had an excuse ready.
01:21:21The tenth time, I pulled a box of condoms from under our bed and held it up in front of
01:21:23him.
01:21:24These are these.
01:21:25We never used this brain.
01:21:26Vincent paused halfway through, not in his time.
01:21:27With a weary sigh, he made a call.
01:21:29Lorenzo, when you stayed over last time, did you leave a box of condoms here?
01:21:31Yeah, I've been looking for them.
01:21:33Sorry.
01:21:33Is my sister doubting you again?
01:21:34Then Camille, my sister-in-law, and my best friend started lecturing me.
01:21:36Alexia, trust is the foundation of any relationship.
01:21:39You can't keep doubting Vincent.
01:21:40If you can't trust him, don't marry him.
01:21:41Stop taking Vincent's love for granted.
01:21:42After the call ended, Vincent spread his hands.
01:21:45Alexia, we should end this.
01:21:46This is the tenth time.
01:21:47Like Camille said, if you can't trust me, maybe you shouldn't.
01:21:49You're right.
01:21:49We're canceling the wedding.
01:21:50Vincent would never have guessed that no one else had left those condoms.
01:21:52I bought them myself and planted them under the bed.
01:21:55That single box was all it took to tear open the ugly truth behind our so-called love.
01:21:58I've canceled wedding photographer.
01:21:59Don't bother buying the rings.
01:22:00The moment I finish, Vincent tugged at his tie in annoyance.
01:22:02Alexia, how long are you going to keep this up?
01:22:03Even your brother vouched for me.
01:22:04What more do you want?
01:22:04He sat at the other end of the bed with his back to me.
01:22:05If you're sick, see a doctor.
01:22:06But stop suspecting me all day.
01:22:07You're only hurting our relationship.
01:22:08One day, your suspicions will wear away every bit of love I have for you.
01:22:11I'm serious, Alexia.
01:22:12A marriage can't last without trust.
01:22:13Before I could answer, his phone chimed.
01:22:14The instant he read the message, the irritation in his eyes melted into tenderness.
01:22:16But when he looked at me again, his gaze turned cold.
01:22:23I hailed a cab and followed him.
01:22:24Forty minutes later, the cab stopped outside a villa in the suburbs.
01:22:26Through a window, I saw a living room filled with food and wine.
01:22:28Everyone around the table was painfully familiar.
01:22:30Beside Vincent, sat a woman holding a baby.
01:22:31She wore the same earring I'd once found in his car.
01:22:32Her designer dress matched the receipt I'd found in Vincent's pocket.
01:22:34Then I saw her face.
01:22:35I could never forget it.
01:22:35This woman had nearly taken everything from me.
01:22:37A year earlier, my adoptive father, the godfather, found his long-lost biological daughter, Sophia.
01:22:40Only then did I learn I wasn't his real daughter.
01:22:42From that day on, the family shut me out and stripped away every privilege I'd had.
01:22:44They crowned Sophia the princess of the Romano family, and I became the outsider who had stolen her place for
01:22:48years.
01:22:48I couldn't accept it.
01:22:49During one argument, Sophia's bodyguard beat me badly, and my adoptive father threw me out.
01:22:53Now, the brother who had always protected me was carefully cutting Sophia's steak.
01:22:55The best friend who'd sworn to stand by me forever was playing with Sophia's baby.
01:22:58And Vincent, who had just accused me of distrusting him, pulled Sophia into his arms as everyone cheered.
01:23:02The sight made the room spin.
01:23:04After I was thrown out, Vincent promised to care for me for the rest of my life.
01:23:07They all knew I had nowhere to go, yet they still deceived me together.
01:23:09My eyes stung, but I forced back my tears.
01:23:11So this was what betrayal by the people closest to me felt like.
01:23:13I was a fool trapped in their web of lies.
01:23:15Then my phone lit up.
01:23:15One message gave me hope again.
01:23:16We found your biological parents.
01:23:17We'll pick you up in three days.
01:23:19Thank goodness.
01:23:19Soon, I would have a real family of my own.
01:23:21In three days, I would leave these liars behind.
01:23:22And I would leave Vincent.
01:23:23I turned to go.
01:23:24I couldn't bear their fake smiles for another second.
01:23:26But a voice behind me suddenly called out.
01:23:27Alexia, are you here for my son's first birthday party too?
01:23:29I stopped.
01:23:30Sophia walked toward me with a bright smile.
01:23:31Alexia, I thought you were still angry about father's decision.
01:23:33I'm glad you finally accepted it.
01:23:34By the way, this is our brother's new wife, Camille.
01:23:36You haven't met, have you?
01:23:37You'd already left home when they married.
01:23:39Hello.
01:23:39It's nice to meet you.
01:23:40Camille, my best friend and sister-in-law, gave me a mocking smile before nodding politely.
01:23:43She sounded polite but distant, as if we'd truly never met.
01:23:44Lorenzo watched me from the crowd with a complicated look, but said nothing.
01:23:46Sophia didn't seem to notice Camille's slip.
01:23:48Smiling, she pulled Vincent to her side and pressed close to him.
01:23:50This is my husband.
01:23:51His name is Vanessa.
01:23:52I cut her off with a smile.
01:23:53His name is Vanessa, and he owns this villa.
01:23:55Sophia froze.
01:23:56Her gaze darted between Vincent and me.
01:23:57How do you know his name?
01:23:58Do you two know each other?
01:23:59Vincent's face stiffened, and his eyes flashed a warning.
01:24:01I ignored it and smiled as I nodded.
01:24:02Of course, he's my fiancé.
01:24:03We've been together for five years, and we were about to get married.
01:24:05He bought this villa for me too.
01:24:07Every detail was decorated to suit my taste.
01:24:08Didn't you know?
01:24:10I covered my mouth in feigned surprise.
01:24:12I only mentioned that the air was nice here, and Vincent bought me the entire villa.
01:24:14But I prefer our home in the city, so I rarely come here.
01:24:17That was what I said.
01:24:18But the truth was, I hadn't been the one avoiding this place.
01:24:20Vincetta had always claimed it was too far, and rarely brought me here.
01:24:22Now I finally understood.
01:24:23It was just another lie meant to keep me from discovering the truth.
01:24:25Alexia!
01:24:26I know you hate me, but you can't make up lies like this!
01:24:27I married Vincent since your father brought me home.
01:24:28How could he possibly be your fiancé?
01:24:29With tears in her eyes, Sophia turned to Vincilla.
01:24:31What is going on?
01:24:32Vincent, say something!
01:24:33Vincent hurriedly tossed aside his cigar.
01:24:34Sophia, calm down.
01:24:35Let me explain.
01:24:35Watching him panic, I felt my heart freeze, inch by inch.
01:24:37I was the one he deceived.
01:24:38Yet Sophia was the one he rushed to reassure.
01:24:39Something inside me finally snapped.
01:24:40A furious scream tore from my throat.
01:24:41Look carefully!
01:24:42The man beside you is my fiancé!
01:24:43He has tattoos across his back and chest.
01:24:44I gave him the gun at his waist on our first anniversary!
01:24:45I pointed at the gun, and Vincent immediately covered it with his hand.
01:24:47My name is engraved on it.
01:24:48I carved it myself.
01:24:49I pulled down my collar and revealed the scar on my shoulder.
01:24:50And this scar?
01:24:51I took a bullet for him when a mission went wrong.
01:24:52He sleeps beside me every night, and eats breakfast with me every morning.
01:24:54I even chose the suit he's wearing!
01:24:56So, my dear sister, you're the other woman.
01:24:57You're the secret lover!
01:24:58He's been hiding from me!
01:24:59Alexa, shut up!
01:25:00The moment Sophia cried, all three of them tried to silence me at once.
01:25:02Cold fury turned in Vincent's eyes.
01:25:03Lorenzo and Camille looked ready to rush over and cover my mouth.
01:25:04I laughed.
01:25:05Am I wrong?
01:25:05Don't tell me none of you knew!
01:25:06How much longer were you planning to deceive me?
01:25:07Vanessa pulled Sophia firmly into his arms.
01:25:09When he spoke to me, his voice was ice cold.
01:25:10Who gave you the right to speak to Sophia that way?
01:25:12She knew nothing.
01:25:13None of this is her fault.
01:25:16Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.
01:25:17Don't you understand?
01:25:18He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.
01:25:19The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.
01:25:21They're the couple who truly love each other.
01:25:22Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia as if afraid I might hurt him.
01:25:24We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.
01:25:25Sophia is father's biological daughter.
01:25:26Only her marriage to Vincita can earn father's blessing.
01:25:27Just walk away.
01:25:28I looked at Lorenzo, the man I called my brother for years.
01:25:29Then at my best friend, at the fiancé who sworn to love only me.
01:25:30And at Sophia, whose tearful eyes couldn't hide her triumph.
01:25:32My heart felt torn apart.
01:25:33So you convinced father to throw me out?
01:25:34You left me homeless and let people abuse me?
01:25:35Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.
01:25:37However you dress it up, she's still the other woman!
01:25:38Every one of you deceive me!
01:25:39You're all liars!
01:25:40Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.
01:25:42My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.
01:25:52Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.
01:25:54He said I deserved the best.
01:25:55But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.
01:25:57Pink wallpaper, a canopy bed draped in sheer fabric, a claying cloud of perfume,
01:25:59a wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.
01:26:00Below it, photo of Vincent and smaller pictures, their baby, and family portraits of all three of them.
01:26:03Not a single trace of me remained.
01:26:05Face it, Alessia.
01:26:06Vincent and Sophia are in love.
01:26:07They belong together.
01:26:07He stayed, only because you saved his life, and he owed you.
01:26:10I shook my head.
01:26:12No!
01:26:12I don't believe you!
01:26:13Camille patted my shoulder with a pitying look.
01:26:14Do you really think Sophia met the Godfather only a year ago?
01:26:16They've been together for three years.
01:26:17He helped her find her biological father.
01:26:18After that, everyone accepted them.
01:26:19She stared into my eyes and delivered the cruelest glow.
01:26:21Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.
01:26:22And throwing you out, that was Vincent's idea.
01:26:24Once you were gone for good, no one could threaten Sophia's place in the family.
01:26:26I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.
01:26:27I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.
01:26:29When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she hugged me, laughing through tears.
01:26:31She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.
01:26:33She'd even warned Vincent that she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.
01:26:35Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.
01:26:36And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.
01:26:38I couldn't hold back anymore.
01:26:39Tears ran down my face.
01:26:40It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.
01:26:41The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.
01:26:42Footsteps sounded behind me.
01:26:43Vincent and Sophie entered the room.
01:26:44I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.
01:26:46If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.
01:26:47Alexa.
01:26:47Calm down, don't say things you'll regret.
01:26:48They spoke together, clearly surprised I would let go so easily.
01:26:50I only smiled and looked at Sophia.
01:26:51I was out of this game before it even began.
01:26:52I wish you both happiness.
01:26:54I turned and left.
01:26:55Vincent reached for me, but I stepped aside before he could grab me.
01:26:57Every betrayal, every lie, I carved them all into my memory.
01:27:00I would never forgive them, and I would never forget.
01:27:02I was packing my bags when Vincent suddenly returned to our apartment.
01:27:04The moment he saw my suitcase, he exploded.
01:27:05Alessia, what are you doing?
01:27:06Are you moving out?
01:27:06Are you leaving me?
01:27:07I couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask.
01:27:08Shut up.
01:27:08I glared at him and slapped him hard across the face.
01:27:10Listen carefully, Vincent.
01:27:11You left me.
01:27:11You abandoned me.
01:27:12Should I stay until you throw me out yourself?
01:27:13His cheek quickly turned red.
01:27:14He pressed his tongue against the sore spot, but didn't get angry.
01:27:16Instead, he opened his arms and pulled me into an embrace.
01:27:17All right, sweetheart, I was wrong.
01:27:17Hit me or curse me if it helps.
01:27:18Do you feel better now?
01:27:19We've been together for five years.
01:27:19What we had was real.
01:27:20Can you truly let it go that easily?
01:27:21You nearly died saving me.
01:27:21I'll never forget that, and I would never abandon you.
01:27:22Only then did I realize I'd never truly known Vincent.
01:27:25When had he become this shameless and two-faced?
01:27:27I shoved him away and put distance between us.
01:27:28But Vincent only smiled and approached me with open arms again.
01:27:30Sophia is the Romano family's princess.
01:27:32Marrying her gives me more power.
01:27:33You don't even know who your biological father is.
01:27:34How will you survive without me?
01:27:35Vincent gazed at me with such tenderness, as if he truly cared about my future.
01:27:37Sophia and I already have a child.
01:27:38My position in the family has never been stronger.
01:27:39Stay with me.
01:27:39I can give you everything except the title of wife.
01:27:41I wanted to throw up.
01:27:42Every word from his mouth made me sick.
01:27:43When I didn't answer, Vincent took my silence as consent.
01:27:44Smiling, he stroked my hair.
01:27:46Let me make it up to you.
01:27:46We'll go shopping, and I'll buy you anything you want.
01:27:48Before I could respond, Lorenzo and Camille rushed through the open door.
01:27:51Lorenzo charged at me and slapped me to the floor.
01:27:53Camille seized my collar and screamed in my face.
01:27:54Alexia, where did you hide Sophia's baby?
01:27:56Sophia ran in crying and shook my shoulders.
01:27:57You took my baby.
01:27:57Didn't you tell me where he is?
01:27:58He's the only one who'll die without me.
01:27:59I'll give Vincent back.
01:28:00I don't want my place in the family either.
01:28:01I'll give you anything.
01:28:01Just return my baby.
01:28:02The smile vanished from Vincent's face.
01:28:03He stepped forward, tense.
01:28:04What do you mean the baby's missing?
01:28:05He disappeared during his nap.
01:28:06He can barely walk.
01:28:07Someone must have taken him.
01:28:09Vincent roared, pulled his gun, and pressed the barrel hard against my forehead.
01:28:11No wonder you were packing to run.
01:28:12You knew what you've done and planned to flee before we caught you.
01:28:13Tell me, where did you hide him?
01:28:15The cold barrel touched my skin, and my blood seemed to freeze.
01:28:16Years ago, I hadn't feared being outnumbered in a gunfight.
01:28:18I hadn't been afraid when I took a bullet for Vincent.
01:28:19But now, I was truly terrified.
01:28:21Not of dying.
01:28:21I feared I wouldn't live to see them kneel and beg for mercy.
01:28:23I didn't do anything.
01:28:24I've never even seen that baby.
01:28:25Sophia collapsed to the floor, sobbing so hard she almost vanted.
01:28:27If you want revenge, take it out on me!
01:28:28The baby is innocent!
01:28:29If anything happens to him, I can't go on living!
01:28:31Each word tightened Vincent's grip on the gun.
01:28:32Click.
01:28:33He chambered around.
01:28:34In another second, the bullet would go through my head.
01:28:36I really don't know.
01:28:37I read on nothing.
01:28:37How could I confess?
01:28:38Lorenzo stood nearby, his face cold.
01:28:39Even if you were still my sister, I couldn't cover for you.
01:28:40And you're not anyone.
01:28:41He turned to Vincent.
01:28:42Alessio won't talk.
01:28:42Teach her a lesson or she won't tell us anything.
01:28:43Vanessa nodded and lowered his gun, his eyes terrifyingly cold.
01:28:45And beat him until she talks.
