Transcript

00:00:02I was the daughter of a mafia godfather.

00:00:05The day I met Vincent, he fell in love with me at first sight.

00:00:09The first time, I found a receipt from a luxury boutique in his pocket.

00:00:13It was a gift for another boss's wife.

00:00:15In our world, every courtesy has to be handled properly.

00:00:19I chose to believe him.

00:00:20The second time, I found an earring in his car that wasn't mine.

00:00:24One of his friends claimed it belonged to his girlfriend.

00:00:27And told me not to read into it.

00:00:30Then came a third time, and a fourth.

00:00:32Whenever I found something suspicious, someone always had an excuse ready.

00:00:37The tenth time, I pulled a box of condoms from under our bed and held it up in front of

00:00:41him.

00:00:43Whose are these? We never use this brand.

00:00:46Vincent paused halfway through, knotting his tie.

00:00:49With a weary sigh, he made a call.

00:00:52Lorenzo, when you stayed over last time, did you leave a box of condoms here?

00:00:56Yeah, I've been looking for them.

00:00:59Sorry.

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

00:01:02Then Camille, my sister-in-law, and my best friend started lecturing me.

00:01:06Alexia, trust is the foundation of any relationship.

00:01:10You can't keep doubting Vincent.

00:01:12If you can't trust him, don't marry him.

00:01:15Stop taking Vincent's love for granted.

00:01:17After the call ended, Vincent spread his hands.

00:01:23Alessia, we should end this.

00:01:24This is the tenth time.

00:01:26Like Camille said, if you can't trust me, maybe we shouldn't.

00:01:29You're right.

00:01:30We're canceling the wedding.

00:01:32Vincent would never have guessed that no one else had left those condoms.

00:01:35I bought them myself and planted them under the bed.

00:01:41That single box was all it took to tear open the ugly truth behind our so-called love.

00:01:47I've canceled the wedding photographer.

00:01:49Don't bother buying the rings.

00:01:50The moment I finished, Vincent tugged at his tie in annoyance.

00:01:54Alexia, how long are you going to keep this up?

00:01:55Even your brother vouched for me.

00:01:57What more do you want?

00:01:58He sat at the other end of the bed with his back to me.

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

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

00:02:04You're only hurting our relationship.

00:02:06One day, your suspicions will wear away every bit of love I have for you.

00:02:10I'm serious, Alexia.

00:02:12A marriage can't last without trust.

00:02:14Before I could answer, his phone chimed.

00:02:16The instant he read the message, the irritation in his eyes melted into tenderness.

00:02:21But when he looked at me again, his gaze turned cold.

00:02:24I'm busy today.

00:02:25Find something to do so you don't sit around doubting me again.

00:02:27He straightened his tie and left without looking back.

00:02:30I knew Vincent was hiding something.

00:02:33Instead of taking my car, I hailed a cab and followed him.

00:02:36Forty minutes later, the cab stopped outside a villa in the suburbs.

00:02:39Through a window, I saw a living room filled with food and wine.

00:02:43Everyone around the table was painfully familiar.

00:02:45Beside Vincent sat a woman holding a baby.

00:02:48She wore the same earring I'd once found in his car.

00:02:50Her designer dress matched the receipt I'd found in Vincent's pocket.

00:02:54Then I saw her face.

00:02:55I could never forget it.

00:02:56This woman had nearly taken everything from me.

00:02:59A year earlier, my adoptive father, the godfather, found his long-lost biological daughter, Sophia.

00:03:06Only then did I learn I wasn't his real daughter.

00:03:08From that day on, the family shut me out and stripped away every privilege I'd had.

00:03:13They crowned Sophia the princess of the Romano family.

00:03:16And I became the outsider who had stolen her place for years.

00:03:20I couldn't accept it.

00:03:21During one argument, Sophia's bodyguard beat me badly and my adoptive father threw me out.

00:03:29Now, the brother who had always protected me was carefully cutting Sophia's steak.

00:03:34The best friend who'd sworn to stand by me forever was playing with Sophia's baby.

00:03:38And Vincent, who had just accused me of distrusting him, pulled Sophia into his arms as everyone cheered.

00:03:45The sight made the room spin.

00:03:49After I was thrown out, Vincent promised to care for me for the rest of my life.

00:03:55They all knew I had nowhere to go.

00:03:57Yet they still deceived me together.

00:03:59My eyes stung, but I forced back my tears.

00:04:03So this was what betrayal by the people closest to me felt like.

00:04:07I was a fool trapped in their web of lies.

00:04:09Then my phone lit up.

00:04:10One message gave me hope again.

00:04:13We've found your biological parents.

00:04:15We'll pick you up in three days.

00:04:17Thank goodness.

00:04:18Soon, I would have a real family of my own.

00:04:21In three days, I would leave these liars behind.

00:04:24And I would leave Vincent.

00:04:26I turned to go.

00:04:27I couldn't bear their fake smiles for another second.

00:04:30But a voice behind me suddenly called out.

00:04:33Alexia?

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

00:04:36I stopped.

00:04:38Sophia walked toward me with a bright smile.

00:04:40Alexia, I thought you were still angry about father's decision.

00:04:44I'm glad you finally accepted it.

00:04:46By the way, this is our brother's new wife, Camille.

00:04:49You haven't met, have you?

00:04:51You'd already left home when they married.

00:04:55Hello.

00:04:56It's nice to meet you.

00:04:57Camille, my best friend and sister-in-law, gave me a mocking smile before nodding politely.

00:05:02She sounded polite but distant, as if we'd truly never met.

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

00:05:09Sophia didn't seem to notice Camille's slip.

00:05:12Smiling, she pulled Vincent to her side and pressed close to him.

00:05:16This is my husband.

00:05:18His name is Vanessa.

00:05:20I cut her off with a smile.

00:05:21His name is Vanessa, and he owns this villa.

00:05:25Sophia froze.

00:05:26Her gaze darted between Vincent and me.

00:05:29How do you know his name?

00:05:31Do you two know each other?

00:05:32Vincent's face stiffened, and his eyes flashed a warning.

00:05:36I ignored it and smiled as I nodded.

00:05:38Of course.

00:05:39He's my fiancé.

00:05:41We've been together for five years, and we were about to get married.

00:05:44He bought this villa for me too.

00:05:47Every detail was decorated to suit my taste.

00:05:49Didn't you know?

00:05:54I covered my mouth in feigned surprise.

00:05:57I only mentioned that the air was nice here, and Vincent had bought me the entire villa.

00:06:01But I prefer our home in the city.

00:06:03So I rarely come here.

00:06:06That was what I said.

00:06:08But the truth was, I hadn't been the one avoiding this place.

00:06:12Vincetta had always claimed it was too far, and rarely brought me here.

00:06:15Now I finally understood.

00:06:17It was just another lie meant to keep me from discovering the truth.

00:06:22Alexia!

00:06:22I know you hate me, but you can't make up lies like this.

00:06:25I married Vincent since the year father brought me home.

00:06:27How could he possibly be your fiancé?

00:06:29With tears in her eyes, Sophia turned to Vincilla.

00:06:33What is going on?

00:06:33Vincenis, say something!

00:06:36Vincet hurriedly trossed aside his cigar.

00:06:38Sophia, calm down.

00:06:40Let me explain.

00:06:40Watching him panic, I felt my heart freeze inch by inch.

00:06:43I was the one he'd deceived.

00:06:45Yet Sophia was the one he rushed to reassure.

00:06:47Something inside me finally snapped.

00:06:49A furious scream tore from my throat.

00:06:51Look carefully!

00:06:52The man beside you is my fiancé!

00:06:54He has tattoos across his back and chest.

00:06:56I gave him the gun at his waist on our first anniversary!

00:06:59I pointed at the gun, and Vincenis immediately covered it with his hand.

00:07:03My name is engraved on it.

00:07:04I carved it myself.

00:07:06I pulled down my collar and revealed the scar on my shoulder.

00:07:08And this scar?

00:07:10I took a bullet for him when a mission went wrong.

00:07:12He sleeps beside me every night and eats breakfast with me every morning.

00:07:16I even chose the suit he's wearing!

00:07:18So, my dear sister, you're the other woman.

00:07:22You're the secret lover he's been hiding from me!

00:07:25Alexia, shut up!

00:07:26The moment Sophia cried, all three of them tried to silence me at once.

00:07:30Cold fury churned in Vincenis' eyes.

00:07:32Lorenzo and Kamel looked ready to rush over and cover my mouth.

00:07:35I laughed.

00:07:35Am I wrong?

00:07:36Don't tell me none of you knew!

00:07:38How much longer were you planning to deceive me?

00:07:40Vanessa pulled Sophia firmly into his arms.

00:07:43When he spoke to me, his voice was ice cold.

00:07:46Who gave you the right to speak to Sophia that way?

00:07:49She knew nothing.

00:07:50None of this is her fault.

00:07:56Kamel dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.

00:07:59Don't you understand?

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

00:08:03The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.

00:08:06They're the couple who truly love each other.

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

00:08:11We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.

00:08:13Sophia is father's biological daughter.

00:08:15Only her marriage to Vincitta can earn father's blessing.

00:08:17Just walk away.

00:08:18I looked at Lorenzo, the man I'd called my brother for years.

00:08:21Then at my best friend, at the fiancé who'd sworn to love only me,

00:08:23and at Sophia, whose tearful eyes couldn't hide her triumph.

00:08:26My heart felt torn apart.

00:08:28So you convinced father to throw me out?

00:08:30You left me homeless and let people abuse me?

00:08:32Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.

00:08:36However you dress it up, she's still the other woman.

00:08:38Every one of you deceive me.

00:08:40You're all liars!

00:08:41Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.

00:08:44My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.

00:08:47I gave you a chance, Alexia.

00:08:49You're the one who refused it.

00:08:51I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.

00:08:54Don't test my limits.

00:08:56Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.

00:08:59Sunlight filled the room.

00:09:01Through the window, I could see a distant farm and the garden below.

00:09:04Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.

00:09:07He said I deserved the best.

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

00:09:13Pink wallpaper.

00:09:14A canopy bed draped in sheer fabric.

00:09:16A claying cloud of perfume.

00:09:17A wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.

00:09:20Below it, photo Vinced in smaller pictures.

00:09:22Their baby, and family portraits of all three of them.

00:09:24Not a single trace of me remained.

00:09:28Face it, Alessia.

00:09:29Vincent and Sophia are in love.

00:09:31They belong together.

00:09:33He stayed only because you saved his life, and he owed you.

00:09:38I shook my head.

00:09:40No!

00:09:41I don't believe you!

00:09:43Camille patted my shoulder with a pitying look.

00:09:45Do you really think Sophia met the Godfather only a year ago?

00:09:49They've been together for three years.

00:09:51He helped her find her biological father.

00:09:53After that, everyone accepted them.

00:09:55She stared into my eyes and delivered the cruelest blow.

00:09:58Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.

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

00:10:03Once you were gone for good, no one could threaten Sophia's place in the family.

00:10:06I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.

00:10:09I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.

00:10:13When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.

00:10:17She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.

00:10:21She'd even warned Vincenta she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.

00:10:24Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.

00:10:27And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.

00:10:29I couldn't hold back anymore.

00:10:32Tears ran down my face.

00:10:33It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.

00:10:36The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.

00:10:38Footsteps sounded behind me.

00:10:40Vincent and Sophie entered the room.

00:10:42I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.

00:10:44If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.

00:10:47Alexa.

00:10:47Calm down, don't say things you'll regret.

00:10:48They spoke together, clearly surprised I would let go so easily.

00:10:51I only smiled and looked at Sophia.

00:10:53I was out of this game before it even began.

00:10:55I wish you both happiness.

00:11:00I turned and left.

00:11:01Vincent reached for me, but I stepped aside before he could grab me.

00:11:05Every betrayal.

00:11:07Every lie.

00:11:09I carved them all into my memory.

00:11:11I would never forgive them.

00:11:13And I would never forget.

00:11:15I was packing my bags when Vincent suddenly returned to our apartment.

00:11:18The moment he saw my suitcase, he exploded.

00:11:21Alessia, what are you doing?

00:11:22Are you moving out?

00:11:23Are you leaving me?

00:11:24I couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask.

00:11:26Shut up!

00:11:27I glared at him and slapped him hard across the face.

00:11:29Listen carefully, Vincent.

00:11:31You left me.

00:11:32You abandoned me.

00:11:33Should I stay until you throw me out yourself?

00:11:36His cheek quickly turned red.

00:11:38He pressed his tongue against the sore spot, but didn't get angry.

00:11:41Instead, he opened his arms and pulled me in an embrace.

00:11:43All right, sweetheart.

00:11:43I was wrong.

00:11:44Hit me or curse me if it helps.

00:11:45Do you feel better now?

00:11:46We've been together for five years.

00:11:47What we had was real.

00:11:48Can you truly let it go that easily?

00:11:50You nearly died saving me.

00:11:51I'll never forget that.

00:11:52And I would never abandon you.

00:11:53Only then did I realize I'd never truly known Vincent.

00:11:57When had he become this shameless and two-faced?

00:12:01I shoved him away and put distance between us.

00:12:04But Vincent only smiled and approached me with open arms again.

00:12:08Sophia is the Romano family's princess.

00:12:10Marrying her gives me more power.

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

00:12:14How will you survive without me?

00:12:16Vincent had gazed at me with such tenderness, as if he truly cared about my future.

00:12:20Sophia and I already have a child.

00:12:21My position in the family has never been stronger.

00:12:24Stay with me.

00:12:24I can give you everything except the title of wife.

00:12:27I wanted to throw up.

00:12:29Every word from his mouth made me sick.

00:12:31When I didn't answer, Vincent took my silence as consent.

00:12:34Smiling, he stroked my hair.

00:12:36Let me make it up to you.

00:12:38We'll go shopping.

00:12:39And I'll buy you anything you want.

00:12:40Before I could respond, Lorenzo and Camille rushed through the open door.

00:12:47Lorenzo charged at me and slapped me to the floor.

00:12:49Camille seized my collar and screamed in my face.

00:12:53Alexia, where did you hide Sophia's baby?

00:12:55Sophia ran in crying and shook my shoulders.

00:12:58He shook my baby.

00:12:58Didn't you tell me where he is?

00:13:00He's only one.

00:13:01He'll die without me.

00:13:02I'll give Vincent back.

00:13:03I don't want my place in the family either.

00:13:05I'll give you anything.

00:13:06Just return my baby.

00:13:07The smile vanished from Vincent's face.

00:13:10He stepped forward, tense.

00:13:11What do you mean the baby is missing?

00:13:13He disappeared during his nap.

00:13:15He can barely walk.

00:13:17Someone must have taken him.

00:13:20Vincent roared, pulled his gun, and pressed the barrel hard against my forehead.

00:13:24No wonder you were packing to run.

00:13:25You knew what you'd done and planned to flee before we caught you.

00:13:28Tell me!

00:13:29Where did you hide him?

00:13:30The cold barrel touched my skin, and my blood seemed to freeze.

00:13:34Years ago, I hadn't feared being outnumbered in a gunfight.

00:13:37I hadn't been afraid when I took a bullet for Vincent.

00:13:39But now, I was truly terrified.

00:13:42Not of dying.

00:13:43I feared I wouldn't live to see them kneel and beg for mercy.

00:13:46I didn't do anything.

00:13:47I've never even seen that baby.

00:13:49Sophia collapsed to the floor, sobbing so hard she almost vanted.

00:13:53If you want revenge, take it out on me!

00:13:56The baby is innocent!

00:13:57If anything happens to him, I can't go on living!

00:14:01Each word tightened Vincent's grip on the gun.

00:14:04Click.

00:14:05He chambered around.

00:14:07In another second, the bullet would go through my head.

00:14:10I really don't know.

00:14:12I had done nothing.

00:14:13How could I confess?

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

00:14:17Even if you were still my sister, I couldn't cover for you.

00:14:19And you're not anymore.

00:14:20He turned to Vincent.

00:14:21Alessia won't talk.

00:14:23Teach her a lesson, or she won't tell us anything.

00:14:24Vanessa nodded and lowered his gun, his eyes terrifyingly cold.

00:14:28Then beat her until she talks.

00:14:42I was the daughter of a mafia godfather.

00:14:45The day I met Vincent, he fell in love with me at first sight.

00:14:50The first time, I found a receipt from a luxury boutique in his pocket.

00:14:54It was a gift for another boss's wife.

00:14:56In our world, every courtesy has to be handled properly.

00:14:59I chose to believe him.

00:15:01The second time, I found an earring in his car that wasn't mine.

00:15:04One of his friends claimed it belonged to his girlfriend and told me not to read into it.

00:15:10Then came a third time and a fourth.

00:15:12Whenever I found something suspicious, someone always had an excuse ready.

00:15:17The tenth time, I pulled a box of condoms from under our bed and held it up in front of

00:15:21him.

00:15:23Whose are these?

00:15:25We never use this brand.

00:15:26Vincent paused halfway through, knotting his tie.

00:15:29With a weary sigh, he made a call.

00:15:32Lorenzo, when you stayed over last time, did you leave a box of condoms here?

00:15:36Yeah, I've been looking for them.

00:15:39Sorry.

00:15:40Is my sister doubting you again?

00:15:42Then Camille, my sister-in-law, and my best friend started lecturing me.

00:15:46Alexia, trust is the foundation of any relationship.

00:15:50You can't keep doubting Vincent.

00:15:52If you can't trust him, don't marry him.

00:15:55Stop taking Vincent's love for granted.

00:15:57After the call ended, Vincent spread his hands.

00:16:03Alessia, we should end this.

00:16:04This is the tenth time.

00:16:06Like Camille said, if you can't trust me, maybe we shouldn't.

00:16:09You're right.

00:16:10We're canceling the wedding.

00:16:12Vincent would never have guessed that no one else had left those condoms.

00:16:15I bought them myself and planted them under the bed.

00:16:22That single box was all it took to tear open the ugly truth behind our so-called love.

00:16:27I've canceled the wedding photographer.

00:16:29Don't bother buying the rings.

00:16:30The moment I finished, Vincent tugged at his tie in annoyance.

00:16:34Alexia, how long are you going to keep this up?

00:16:36Even your brother vouched for me.

00:16:37What more do you want?

00:16:38He sat at the other end of the bed with his back to me.

00:16:40If you're sick, see a doctor.

00:16:42But stop suspecting me all day.

00:16:44You're only hurting our relationship.

00:16:46One day, your suspicions will wear away every bit of love I have for you.

00:16:50I'm serious, Alexia.

00:16:52A marriage can't last without trust.

00:16:54Before I could answer, his phone chimed.

00:16:57The instant he read the message, the irritation in his eyes melted into tenderness.

00:17:01But when he looked at me again, his gaze turned cold.

00:17:04I'm busy today.

00:17:05Find something to do so you don't sit around doubting me again.

00:17:08He straightened his tie and left without looking back.

00:17:11I knew Vincent was hiding something.

00:17:13Instead of taking my car, I hailed a cab and followed him.

00:17:16Forty minutes later, the cab stopped outside a villa in the suburbs.

00:17:20Through a window, I saw a living room filled with food and wine.

00:17:23Everyone around the table was painfully familiar.

00:17:26Beside Vincent sat a woman holding a baby.

00:17:28She wore the same earring I'd once found in his car.

00:17:31Her designer dress matched the receipt I'd found in Vincent's pocket.

00:17:34Then I saw her face.

00:17:35I could never forget it.

00:17:36This woman had nearly taken everything from me.

00:17:39A year earlier, my adoptive father, the godfather, found his long-lost biological daughter, Sophia.

00:17:46Only then did I learn I wasn't his real daughter.

00:17:49From that day on, the family shut me out and stripped away every privilege I'd had.

00:17:53They crowned Sophia the princess of the Romano family.

00:17:56And I became the outsider who had stolen her place for years.

00:18:00I couldn't accept it.

00:18:01During one argument, Sophia's bodyguard beat me badly and my adoptive father threw me out.

00:18:09Now, the brother who had always protected me was carefully cutting Sophia's steak.

00:18:14The best friend who'd sworn to stand by me forever was playing with Sophia's baby.

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

00:18:26The sight made the room spin.

00:18:30After I was thrown out, Vincent promised to care for me for the rest of my life.

00:18:35They all knew I had nowhere to go, yet they still deceived me together.

00:18:40My eyes stung, but I forced back my tears.

00:18:43So this was what betrayal by the people closest to me felt like.

00:18:47I was a fool trapped in their web of lies.

00:18:50Then my phone lit up.

00:18:51One message gave me hope again.

00:18:53We've found your biological parents.

00:18:55We'll pick you up in three days.

00:18:57Thank goodness.

00:18:58Soon, I would have a real family of my own.

00:19:01In three days, I would leave these liars behind.

00:19:04And I would leave Vincent.

00:19:06I turned to go.

00:19:08I couldn't bear their fake smiles for another second.

00:19:10But a voice behind me suddenly called out.

00:19:13Alexia, are you here for my son's first birthday party too?

00:19:17I stopped.

00:19:18Sophia walked toward me with a bright smile.

00:19:20Alexia, I thought you were still angry about father's decision.

00:19:24I'm glad you finally accepted it.

00:19:26By the way, this is our brother's new wife, Camille.

00:19:29You haven't met, have you?

00:19:31You'd already left home when they married.

00:19:35Hello.

00:19:36It's nice to meet you.

00:19:37Camille, my best friend and sister-in-law, gave me a mocking smile before nodding politely.

00:19:42She sounded polite but distant, as if we'd truly never met.

00:19:45Lorenzo watched me from the crowd with a complicated look, but said nothing.

00:19:49Sophia didn't seem to notice Camille's slip.

00:19:52Smiling, she pulled Vincent to her side and pressed close to him.

00:19:57This is my husband.

00:19:58His name is Vanessa.

00:20:00I cut her off with a smile.

00:20:02His name is Vanessa, and he owns this villa.

00:20:05Sophia froze.

00:20:07Her gaze darted between Vincent and me.

00:20:09How do you know his name?

00:20:11Do you two know each other?

00:20:13Vincent's face stiffened, and his eyes flashed a warning.

00:20:16I ignored it and smiled as I nodded.

00:20:18Of course.

00:20:19He's my fiancé.

00:20:21We've been together for five years, and we were about to get married.

00:20:24He bought this villa for me, too.

00:20:27Every detail was decorated to suit my taste.

00:20:30Didn't you know?

00:20:34I covered my mouth in feigned surprise.

00:20:37I only mentioned that the air was nice here, and Vincent bought me the entire villa, but

00:20:41I prefer our home in the city, so I rarely come here.

00:20:46That was what I said.

00:20:48But the truth was, I hadn't been the one avoiding this place.

00:20:52Vincetta had always claimed it was too far, and rarely brought me here.

00:20:55Now I finally understood.

00:20:58It was just another lie meant to keep me from discovering the truth.

00:21:02Alexia!

00:21:03I know you hate me, but you can't make up lies like this.

00:21:05I married Vincent since the year father brought me home.

00:21:07How could he possibly be your fiancé?

00:21:10With tears in her eyes, Sophia turned to Vincilla.

00:21:13What is going on?

00:21:14Vincent, say something!

00:21:17Vinicet hurriedly trossed aside his cigar.

00:21:18Sophia, calm down.

00:21:20Let me explain.

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

00:21:24I was the one he'd deceived.

00:21:25Yet Sophia was the one he rushed to reassure.

00:21:28Something inside me finally snapped.

00:21:29A furious scream tore from my throat.

00:21:31Look carefully!

00:21:32The man beside you is my fiancé!

00:21:34He has tattoos across his back and chest.

00:21:36I gave him the gun at his waist on our first anniversary!

00:21:39I pointed at the gun, and Vincent immediately covered it with his hand.

00:21:43My name is engraved on it.

00:21:45I carved it myself.

00:21:46I pulled down my collar and revealed the scar on my shoulder.

00:21:48And this scar?

00:21:50I took a bullet for him when a mission went wrong.

00:21:52He sleeps beside me every night and eats breakfast with me every morning.

00:21:56I even chose the suit he's wearing!

00:21:59So, my dear sister, you're the other woman.

00:22:02You're the secret lover he's been hiding from me!

00:22:05Alexia, shut up!

00:22:06The moment Sophia cried, all three of them tried to silence me at once.

00:22:10Cold fury churned in Vincent's eyes.

00:22:12Lorenzo and Camel looked ready to rush over and cover my mouth.

00:22:15I laughed.

00:22:15Am I wrong?

00:22:17Don't tell me none of you knew!

00:22:18How much longer were you planning to deceive me?

00:22:21Vanessa pulled Sophia firmly into his arms.

00:22:23When he spoke to me, his voice was ice cold.

00:22:26Who gave you the right to speak to Sophia that way?

00:22:29She knew nothing.

00:22:31None of this is her fault.

00:22:36Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.

00:22:39Don't you understand?

00:22:40He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.

00:22:42The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.

00:22:46They're the couple who truly love each other.

00:22:48Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia as if afraid I might hurt her.

00:22:51We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.

00:22:53Sophia is father's biological daughter.

00:22:55Only her marriage to Vincita can earn father's blessing.

00:22:58Just walk away.

00:22:58I looked at Lorenzo, the man I'd called my brother for years.

00:23:01Then at my best friend, at the fiancé who'd sworn to love only me,

00:23:04and at Sophia, whose tearful eyes couldn't hide her triumph.

00:23:06My heart felt torn apart.

00:23:08So you convinced father to throw me out?

00:23:10You left me homeless and let people abuse me?

00:23:12Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.

00:23:16However you dress it up, she's still the other woman.

00:23:18Every one of you deceived me.

00:23:20You're all liars.

00:23:21Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.

00:23:25My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.

00:23:28I gave you a chance, Alexia.

00:23:30You're the one who refused it.

00:23:32I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.

00:23:34Don't test my limits.

00:23:36Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.

00:23:39Sunlight filled the room.

00:23:41Through the window, I could see a distant farm and the garden below.

00:23:44Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.

00:23:47He said I deserved the best.

00:23:50But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.

00:23:53Pink wallpaper.

00:23:54A canopy bed draped in sheer fabric.

00:23:56A claying cloud of perfume.

00:23:58A wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.

00:24:00Below it, photo Vincent and smaller pictures.

00:24:02Their baby and family portraits of all three of them.

00:24:05Not a single trace of me remained.

00:24:08Face it, Alessia.

00:24:09Vincent and Sophia are in love.

00:24:11They belong together.

00:24:13He stayed only because you saved his life, and he owed you.

00:24:18I shook my head.

00:24:21No!

00:24:22I don't believe you!

00:24:23Camille patted my shoulder with a pitying look.

00:24:25Do you really think Sophia met the Godfather only a year ago?

00:24:29They've been together for three years.

00:24:31He helped her find her biological father.

00:24:33After that, everyone accepted them.

00:24:35She stared into my eyes and delivered the cruelest blow.

00:24:38Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.

00:24:41And throwing you out, that was Vincent's idea.

00:24:43Once you were gone for good, no one could threaten Sophia's place in the family.

00:24:47I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.

00:24:49I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.

00:24:53When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.

00:24:57She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.

00:25:01She'd even warned Vincenza she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.

00:25:05Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.

00:25:07And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.

00:25:10I couldn't hold back anymore.

00:25:12Tears ran down my face.

00:25:14It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.

00:25:16The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.

00:25:18Footsteps sounded behind me.

00:25:20Vincent and Sophie entered the room.

00:25:22I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.

00:25:24If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.

00:25:27Alexa.

00:25:27Calm down, don't say things you'll regret.

00:25:29They spoke together, clearly surprised I would let go so easily.

00:25:32I only smiled and looked at Sophia.

00:25:33I was out of this game before it even began.

00:25:36I wish you both happiness.

00:25:40I turned and left.

00:25:42Vincent reached for me, but I stepped aside before he could grab me.

00:25:46Every betrayal, every lie.

00:25:49I carved them all into my memory.

00:25:51I would never forgive them, and I would never forget.

00:25:55I was packing my bags when Vincent suddenly returned to our apartment.

00:25:59The moment he saw my suitcase, he exploded.

00:26:01Alessia, what are you doing?

00:26:02Are you moving out?

00:26:03Are you leaving me?

00:26:04I couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask.

00:26:06Shut up!

00:26:07I glared at him and slapped him hard across the face.

00:26:10Listen carefully, Vincent.

00:26:11You left me.

00:26:12You abandoned me.

00:26:14Should I stay until you throw me out yourself?

00:26:16His cheek quickly turned red.

00:26:18He pressed his tongue against the sore spot, but didn't get angry.

00:26:21Instead, he opened his arms and pulled me into an embrace.

00:26:23All right, sweetheart.

00:26:23I was wrong.

00:26:24Hit me or curse me if it helps.

00:26:25Do you feel better now?

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

00:26:27What we had was real.

00:26:28Can you truly let it go that easily?

00:26:30You nearly died saving me.

00:26:31I'll never forget that, and I would never abandon you.

00:26:33Only then did I realize I'd never truly known Vincent.

00:26:38When had he become this shameless and two-faced?

00:26:41I shoved him away and put distance between us.

00:26:45But Vincent only smiled and approached me with open arms again.

00:26:48Sofia is the Romano family's princess.

00:26:50Marrying her gives me more power.

00:26:52You don't even know who your biological father is.

00:26:55How will you survive without me?

00:26:56Vincent gazed at me with such tenderness, as if he truly cared about my future.

00:27:00Sofia and I already have a child.

00:27:02My position in the family has never been stronger.

00:27:04Stay with me.

00:27:05I can give you everything except the title of wife.

00:27:07I wanted to throw up.

00:27:09Every word from his mouth made me sick.

00:27:11When I didn't answer, Vincent took my silence as consent.

00:27:14Smiling, he stroked my hair.

00:27:17Let me make it up to you.

00:27:18We'll go shopping, and I'll buy you anything you want.

00:27:20Before I could respond, Lorenzo and Camille rushed through the open door.

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

00:27:30Camille seized my collar and screamed in my face.

00:27:33Alexia!

00:27:34Where did you hide Sofia's baby?

00:27:35Sofia ran in crying and shook my shoulders.

00:27:38You took my baby, didn't you tell me where he is?

00:27:40He's only one.

00:27:41He'll die without me.

00:27:42I'll give Vincent back.

00:27:44I don't want my place in the family either.

00:27:45I'll give you anything.

00:27:46Just return my baby.

00:27:48The smile vanished from Vincent's face.

00:27:50He stepped forward, tense.

00:27:51What do you mean the baby is missing?

00:27:53He disappeared during his nap.

00:27:55He can barely walk.

00:27:57Someone must have taken him.

00:28:00Vincent roared, pulled his gun, and pressed the barrel hard against my forehead.

00:28:04No wonder you were packing to run.

00:28:06You knew what you'd done and planned to flee before we caught you.

00:28:09Tell me!

00:28:09Where did you hide him?

00:28:11The cold barrel touched my skin, and my blood seemed to freeze.

00:28:14Years ago, I hadn't feared being outnumbered in a gunfight.

00:28:17I hadn't been afraid when I took a bullet for Vincent.

00:28:19But now, I was truly terrified.

00:28:22Not of dying.

00:28:23I feared I wouldn't live to see them kneel and beg for mercy.

00:28:26I didn't do anything.

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

00:28:30Sofia collapsed to the floor, sobbing so hard she almost vanted.

00:28:33If you want revenge, take it out on me!

00:28:36The baby is innocent!

00:28:37If anything happens to him, I can't go on living!

00:28:41Each word tightened Vincent's grip on the gun.

00:28:44Click.

00:28:45He chambered around.

00:28:47In another second, the bullet would go through my head.

00:28:50I really don't know.

00:28:52I had done nothing.

00:28:53How could I confess?

00:28:55Lorenzo stood nearby, his face cold.

00:28:57Even if you were still my sister, I couldn't cover for you.

00:28:59And you're not anymore.

00:29:00He turned to Vincent.

00:29:02Alessia won't talk.

00:29:03Teach her a lesson, or she won't tell us anything.

00:29:05Vanessa nodded and lowered his gun, his eyes terrifyingly cold.

00:29:08Then beat her until she talks.

00:29:23I was the daughter of a mafia godfather.

00:29:25The day I met Vincent, he fell in love with me at first sight.

00:29:30The first time, I found a receipt from a luxury boutique in his pocket.

00:29:34It was a gift for another boss's wife.

00:29:36In our world, every courtesy has to be handled properly.

00:29:39I chose to believe him.

00:29:41The second time, I found an earring in his car that wasn't mine.

00:29:44One of his friends claimed it belonged to his girlfriend.

00:29:48And told me not to read into it.

00:29:50Then came a third time, and a fourth.

00:29:52Whenever I found something suspicious, someone always had an excuse ready.

00:29:57The tenth time, I pulled a box of condoms from under our bed and held it up in front of

00:30:02him.

00:30:04Whose are these?

00:30:05We never use this brand.

00:30:06Vincent paused halfway through, nodding his tie.

00:30:09With a weary sigh, he made a call.

00:30:12Lorenzo, when you stayed over last time, did you leave a box of condoms here?

00:30:17Yeah, I've been looking for them.

00:30:19Sorry.

00:30:21Is my sister doubting you again?

00:30:22Then Camille, my sister-in-law, and my best friend started lecturing me.

00:30:26Alexia, trust is the foundation of any relationship.

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

00:30:32If you can't trust him, don't marry him.

00:30:35Stop taking Vincent's love for granted.

00:30:37After the call ended, Vincent spread his hands.

00:30:43Alessia, we should end this.

00:30:45This is the tenth time.

00:30:46Like Camille said, if you can't trust me, maybe we shouldn't.

00:30:49You're right.

00:30:51We're canceling the wedding.

00:30:52Vincent would never have guessed that no one else had left those condoms.

00:30:56I bought them myself and planted them under the bed.

00:31:02That single box was all it took to tear open the ugly truth behind our so-called love.

00:31:07I've canceled the wedding photographer.

00:31:09Don't bother buying the rings.

00:31:11The moment I finished, Vincent tugged at his tie in annoyance.

00:31:14Alexia, how long are you going to keep this up?

00:31:16Even your brother vouched for me.

00:31:17What more do you want?

00:31:18He sat at the other end of the bed with his back to me.

00:31:21If you're sick, see a doctor.

00:31:23But stop suspecting me all day.

00:31:24You're only hurting our relationship.

00:31:26One day, your suspicions will wear away every bit of love I have for you.

00:31:30I'm serious, Alexia.

00:31:32A marriage can't last without trust.

00:31:34Before I could answer, his phone chimed.

00:31:37The instant he read the message, the irritation in his eyes melted into tenderness.

00:31:41But when he looked at me again, his gaze turned cold.

00:31:44I'm busy today.

00:31:45Find something to do so you don't sit around doubting me again.

00:31:48He straightened his tie and left without looking back.

00:31:51I knew Vincent was hiding something.

00:31:53Instead of taking my car, I hailed a cab and followed him.

00:31:56Forty minutes later, the cab stopped outside a villa in the suburbs.

00:32:00Through a window, I saw a living room filled with food and wine.

00:32:03Everyone around the table was painfully familiar.

00:32:06Beside Vincent sat a woman holding a baby.

00:32:08She wore the same earring I'd once found in his car.

00:32:11Her designer dress matched the receipt I'd found in Vincent's pocket.

00:32:14Then I saw her face.

00:32:15I could never forget it.

00:32:17This woman had nearly taken everything from me.

00:32:19A year earlier, my adoptive father, the godfather, found his long-lost biological daughter, Sophia.

00:32:26Only then did I learn I wasn't his real daughter.

00:32:29From that day on, the family shut me out and stripped away every privilege I'd had.

00:32:34They crowned Sophia the princess of the Romano family.

00:32:36And I became the outsider who had stolen her place for years.

00:32:40I couldn't accept it.

00:32:42During one argument, Sophia's bodyguard beat me badly.

00:32:45And my adoptive father threw me out.

00:32:49Now, the brother who had always protected me was carefully cutting Sophia's steak.

00:32:54The best friend who'd sworn to stand by me forever was playing with Sophia's baby.

00:32:59And Vincent, who had just accused me of distrusting him, pulled Sophia into his arms as everyone cheered.

00:33:06The sight made the room spin.

00:33:10After I was thrown out, Vincent promised to care for me for the rest of my life.

00:33:16They all knew I had nowhere to go.

00:33:18Yet they still deceived me together.

00:33:20My eyes stung, but I forced back my tears.

00:33:23So this was what betrayal by the people closest to me felt like.

00:33:27I was a fool trapped in their web of lies.

00:33:30Then my phone lit up.

00:33:31One message gave me hope again.

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

00:33:35We'll pick you up in three days.

00:33:37Thank goodness.

00:33:39Soon, I would have a real family of my own.

00:33:41In three days, I would leave these liars behind.

00:33:44And I would leave Vincent.

00:33:47I turned to go.

00:33:48I couldn't bear their fake smiles for another second.

00:33:51But a voice behind me suddenly called out.

00:33:53Alexia?

00:33:54Are you here for my son's first birthday party too?

00:33:57I stopped.

00:33:58Sophia walked toward me with a bright smile.

00:34:01Alexia, I thought you were still angry about father's decision.

00:34:04I'm glad you finally accepted it.

00:34:06By the way, this is our brother's new wife, Camille.

00:34:09You haven't met, have you?

00:34:12You'd already left home when they married.

00:34:15Hello.

00:34:16It's nice to meet you.

00:34:18Camille, my best friend and sister-in-law, gave me a mocking smile before nodding politely.

00:34:22She sounded polite but distant, as if we'd truly never met.

00:34:25But Lorenzo watched me from the crowd with a complicated look, but said nothing.

00:34:30Sophia didn't seem to notice Camille's slip.

00:34:32Smiling, she pulled Vincent to her side and pressed close to him.

00:34:37This is my husband.

00:34:38His name is Vanessa.

00:34:40I cut her off with a smile.

00:34:42His name is Vanessa, and he owns this villa.

00:34:45Sophia froze.

00:34:47Her gaze darted between Vincent and me.

00:34:50How do you know his name?

00:34:51Do you two know each other?

00:34:53Vincent's face stiffened, and his eyes flashed a warning.

00:34:56I ignored it and smiled as I nodded.

00:34:59Of course.

00:35:00He's my fiancé.

00:35:01We've been together for five years, and we were about to get married.

00:35:05He bought this villa for me, too.

00:35:07Every detail was decorated to suit my taste.

00:35:10Didn't you know?

00:35:15I covered my mouth in feigned surprise.

00:35:17I only mentioned that the air was nice here, and Vincent had bought me the entire villa.

00:35:21But I prefer our home in the city, so I rarely come here.

00:35:26That was what I said.

00:35:28But the truth was, I hadn't been the one avoiding this place.

00:35:32Vincetta had always claimed it was too far and rarely brought me here.

00:35:36Now I finally understood.

00:35:38It was just another lie meant to keep me from discovering the truth.

00:35:42Alexia!

00:35:43I know you hate me, but you can't make up lies like this.

00:35:45I married Vincent at the year father brought me home.

00:35:48How could he possibly be your fiancé?

00:35:50With tears in her eyes, Sophia turned to Vincilla.

00:35:53What is going on?

00:35:54Vincenet, say something!

00:35:57Vinicet hurriedly trossed aside his cigar.

00:35:59Sophia, calm down.

00:36:00Let me explain.

00:36:01Watching him panic, I felt my heart freeze inch by inch.

00:36:04I was the one he'd deceived.

00:36:05Yet Sophia was the one he rushed to reassure.

00:36:08Something inside me finally snapped.

00:36:10A furious scream tore from my throat.

00:36:12Look carefully!

00:36:13The man beside you is my fiancé!

00:36:15He has tattoos across his back and chest.

00:36:16I gave him the gun at his waist on our first anniversary!

00:36:19I pointed at the gun, and Vincent immediately covered it with his hand.

00:36:23My name is engraved on it.

00:36:25I carved it myself.

00:36:26I pulled down my collar and revealed the scar on my shoulder.

00:36:29And this scar?

00:36:30I took a bullet for him when a mission went wrong.

00:36:32He sleeps beside me every night and eats breakfast with me every morning.

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

00:36:39So, my dear sister, you're the other woman.

00:36:42You're the secret lover he's been hiding from me!

00:36:45Alexia, shut up!

00:36:47The moment Sophia cried, all three of them tried to silence me at once.

00:36:50Cold fury churned in Vincent's eyes.

00:36:52Lorenzo and Kamel looked ready to rush over and cover my mouth.

00:36:55I laughed.

00:36:56Am I wrong?

00:36:57Don't tell me none of you knew.

00:36:59How much longer were you planning to deceive me?

00:37:01Vanessa pulled Sophia firmly into his arms.

00:37:04When he spoke to me, his voice was ice cold.

00:37:06Who gave you the right to speak to Sophia that way?

00:37:09She knew nothing.

00:37:11None of this is her fault.

00:37:16Camille dropped her gentle act, and her voice turned vicious.

00:37:19Don't you understand?

00:37:20He loves her, so you're the one who doesn't belong.

00:37:23The Godfather approved their marriage, and everyone supports them.

00:37:26They're the couple who truly love each other.

00:37:29Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia as if afraid I might hurt her.

00:37:32We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.

00:37:33Sophia is father's biological daughter.

00:37:35Only her marriage to Vincitta can earn father's blessing.

00:37:38Just walk away.

00:37:38I looked at Lorenzo, the man I'd called my brother for years.

00:37:41Then at my best friend, at the fiancé who'd sworn to love only me,

00:37:44and at Sophia, whose tearful eyes couldn't hide her triumph.

00:37:47My heart felt torn apart.

00:37:48So you convinced father to throw me out?

00:37:50You left me homeless and let people abuse me?

00:37:52Every buried grievance surged up at once, and tears spilled down my face.

00:37:56However you dress it up, she's still the other woman.

00:37:59Every one of you deceived me.

00:38:00You're all liars.

00:38:01Before I could finish, Vincent slapped me across the face.

00:38:05My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang.

00:38:08I gave you a chance, Alexia.

00:38:10You're the one who refused it.

00:38:12I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.

00:38:15Don't test my limits.

00:38:16Before I recovered, Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.

00:38:20Sunlight filled the room.

00:38:21Through the window, I could see a distant farm and the garden below.

00:38:25Vinicent had originally chosen this room for me himself.

00:38:28He said I deserved the best.

00:38:30But when Camille opened the door, nothing inside reflected my taste.

00:38:33Pink wallpaper.

00:38:34A canopy bed draped in sheer fabric.

00:38:36A claying cloud of perfume.

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

00:38:40Below it, photo Vinced and smaller pictures.

00:38:42Their baby and family portraits of all three of them.

00:38:45Not a single trace of me remained.

00:38:48Face it, Alessia.

00:38:50Vincent and Sophia are in love.

00:38:52They belong together.

00:38:53He stayed only because you saved his life, and he owed you.

00:38:58I shook my head.

00:39:01No!

00:39:02I don't believe you!

00:39:03Camille patted my shoulder with a pitying look.

00:39:06Do you really think Sophia met the Godfather only a year ago?

00:39:09They've been together for three years.

00:39:11He helped her find her biological father.

00:39:14After that, everyone accepted them.

00:39:15She stared into my eyes and delivered the cruelest blow.

00:39:18Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.

00:39:21And throwing you out, that was Vincent's idea.

00:39:23Once you were gone for good,

00:39:25no one could threaten Sophia's place in the family.

00:39:27I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.

00:39:29I couldn't understand how my best friend,

00:39:32my sister-in-law, could do this.

00:39:34When she and Lorenzo chose to marry,

00:39:35she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.

00:39:38She said we'd finally be a real family

00:39:40and stay together forever.

00:39:41She'd even warned Vincent's she'd skin him alive

00:39:44if he ever hurt me.

00:39:45Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.

00:39:47And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.

00:39:50I couldn't hold back anymore.

00:39:52Tears ran down my face.

00:39:53It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.

00:39:56The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.

00:39:59Footsteps sounded behind me.

00:40:00Vincent and Sophie entered the room.

00:40:02I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.

00:40:05If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.

00:40:07Alexa.

00:40:07Calm down, don't say things you'll regret.

00:40:09They spoke together,

00:40:10clearly surprised I would let go so easily.

00:40:12I only smiled and looked at Sophia.

00:40:14I was out of this game before it even began.

00:40:16I wish you both happiness.

00:40:20I turned and left.

00:40:22Vincent reached for me,

00:40:23but I stepped aside before he could grab me.

00:40:26Every betrayal,

00:40:27every lie,

00:40:29I carved them all into my memory.

00:40:32I would never forgive them,

00:40:33and I would never forget.

00:40:35I was packing my bags

00:40:36when Vincent suddenly returned to our apartment.

00:40:39The moment he saw my suitcase,

00:40:41he exploded.

00:40:41Alessia, what are you doing?

00:40:42Are you moving out?

00:40:43Are you leaving me?

00:40:44I couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask.

00:40:46Shut up.

00:40:47I glared at him and slapped him hard across the face.

00:40:50Listen carefully, Vincent.

00:40:51You left me.

00:40:53You abandoned me.

00:40:54Should I stay until you throw me out yourself?

00:40:56His cheek quickly turned red.

00:40:58He pressed his tongue against the sore spot,

00:41:00but didn't get angry.

00:41:01Instead, he opened his arms and pulled me in an embrace.

00:41:03All right, sweetheart, I was wrong.

00:41:04Hit me or curse me if it helps.

00:41:05Do you feel better now?

00:41:06We've been together for five years.

00:41:08What we had was real.

00:41:09Can you truly let it go that easily?

00:41:10You nearly died saving me.

00:41:11I'll never forget that,

00:41:12and I would never abandon you.

00:41:13Only then did I realize I'd never truly known Vincent.

00:41:18When had he become this shameless and two-faced?

00:41:21I shoved him away and put distance between us.

00:41:25But Vincent only smiled and approached me with open arms again.

00:41:28Sophia is the Romano family's princess.

00:41:31Marrying her gives me more power.

00:41:32You don't even know who your biological father is.

00:41:35How will you survive without me?

00:41:36Vincent had gazed at me with such tenderness,

00:41:38as if he truly cared about my future.

00:41:40Sophia and I already have a child.

00:41:42My position in the family has never been stronger.

00:41:44Stay with me.

00:41:45I can give you everything except the title of wife.

00:41:48I wanted to throw up.

00:41:49Every word from his mouth made me sick.

00:41:51When I didn't answer,

00:41:53Vincent took my silence as consent.

00:41:55Smiling, he stroked my hair.

00:41:57Let me make it up to you.

00:41:58We'll go shopping,

00:41:59and I'll buy you anything you want.

00:42:01Before I could respond,

00:42:02Lorenzo and Camille rushed through the open door.

00:42:08Lorenzo charged at me and slapped me to the floor.

00:42:10Camille seized my collar and screamed in my face.

00:42:13Alexia, where did you hide Sophia's baby?

00:42:16Sophia ran in crying and shook my shoulders.

00:42:18You took my baby.

00:42:19Didn't you tell me where he is?

00:42:20He's only one.

00:42:21He'll die without me.

00:42:23I'll give Vincent back.

00:42:24I don't want my place in the family either.

00:42:26I'll give you anything.

00:42:26Just return my baby.

00:42:28The smile vanished from Vincent's face.

00:42:30He stepped forward, tense.

00:42:31What do you mean the baby is missing?

00:42:34He disappeared during his nap.

00:42:35He can barely walk.

00:42:37Someone must have taken him.

00:42:40Vincent roared, pulled his gun,

00:42:42and pressed the barrel hard against my forehead.

00:42:44No wonder you were packing to run.

00:42:46You knew what you'd done

00:42:47and planned to flee before we caught you.

00:42:49Tell me, where did you hide him?

00:42:51The cold barrel touched my skin,

00:42:53and my blood seemed to freeze.

00:42:55Years ago, I hadn't feared being outnumbered in a gunfight.

00:42:57I hadn't been afraid when I took a bullet for Vincent.

00:42:59But now, I was truly terrified.

00:43:02Not of dying.

00:43:03I feared I wouldn't live to see them kneel and beg for mercy.

00:43:06I didn't do anything.

00:43:08I've never even seen that baby.

00:43:10Sophia collapsed to the floor,

00:43:11sobbing so hard she almost vanted.

00:43:13If you want revenge, take it out on me!

00:43:16The baby is innocent!

00:43:18If anything happens to him, I can't go on living!

00:43:21Each word tightened Vincent's grip on the gun.

00:43:24Click.

00:43:25He chambered around.

00:43:27In another second, the bullet would go through my head.

00:43:31I really don't know.

00:43:32I had done nothing.

00:43:34How could I confess?

00:43:35Lorenzo stood nearby, his face cold.

00:43:37Even if you were still my sister, I couldn't cover for you.

00:43:39And you're not anymore.

00:43:40He turned to Vincent.

00:43:42Alessia won't talk.

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

00:43:45Vanessa nodded and lowered his gun,

00:43:47his eyes terrifyingly cold.

00:43:48Then beat her until she talks.

00:44:03I was the daughter of a mafia godfather.

00:44:06The day I met Vincent, he fell in love with me at first sight.

00:44:10The first time, I found a receipt from a luxury boutique in his pocket.

00:44:14It was a gift for another boss's wife.

00:44:16In our world, every courtesy has to be handled properly.

00:44:19I chose to believe him.

00:44:21The second time, I found an earring in his car that wasn't mine.

00:44:25One of his friends claimed it belonged to his girlfriend

00:44:28and told me not to read into it.

00:44:30Then came a third time and a fourth.

00:44:32Whenever I found something suspicious,

00:44:34someone always had an excuse ready.

00:44:37The tenth time,

00:44:39I pulled a box of condoms from under our bed

00:44:41and held it up in front of him.

00:44:44Whose are these?

00:44:45We never use this brand.

00:44:47Vincent paused halfway through, nodding his tie.

00:44:49With a weary sigh, he made a call.

00:44:53Lorenzo,

00:44:53when you stayed over last time,

00:44:55did you leave a box of condoms here?

00:44:57Yeah, I've been looking for them.

00:45:00Sorry.

00:45:01Is my sister doubting you again?

00:45:03Then Camille,

00:45:04my sister-in-law and my best friend,

00:45:05started lecturing me.

00:45:06Alexia,

00:45:08trust is the foundation of any relationship.

00:45:11You can't keep doubting Vincent.

00:45:13If you can't trust him,

00:45:14don't marry him.

00:45:15Stop taking Vincent's love for granted.

00:45:18After the call ended,

00:45:19Vincent spread his hands.

00:45:23Alessia, we should end this.

00:45:25This is the tenth time.

00:45:26Like Camille said,

00:45:27if you can't trust me,

00:45:28maybe we shouldn't.

00:45:29You're right.

00:45:31We're canceling the wedding.

00:45:32Vincent would never have guessed

00:45:34that no one else had left those condoms.

00:45:36I bought them myself

00:45:37and planted them under the bed.

00:45:42That single box was all it took

00:45:44to tear open the ugly truth

00:45:45behind our so-called love.

00:45:48I've canceled the wedding photographer.

00:45:50Don't bother buying the rings.

00:45:51The moment I finished,

00:45:52Vincent tugged at his tie in annoyance.

00:45:54Alexia, how long are you going to keep this up?

00:45:56Even your brother vouched for me.

00:45:57What more do you want?

00:45:58He sat at the other end of the bed

00:46:00with his back to me.

00:46:01If you're sick, see a doctor.

00:46:03But stop suspecting me all day.

00:46:04You're only hurting our relationship.

00:46:06One day, your suspicions will wear away

00:46:09every bit of love I have for you.

00:46:11I'm serious, Alexia.

00:46:12A marriage can't last without trust.

00:46:15Before I could answer,

00:46:16his phone chimed.

00:46:17The instant he read the message,

00:46:19the irritation in his eyes

00:46:20melted into tenderness.

00:46:21But when he looked at me again,

00:46:23his gaze turned cold.

00:46:24I'm busy today.

00:46:25Find something to do

00:46:26so you don't sit around doubting me again.

00:46:28He straightened his tie

00:46:29and left without looking back.

00:46:31I knew Vincent was hiding something.

00:46:33Instead of taking my car,

00:46:35I hailed a cab and followed him.

00:46:36Forty minutes later,

00:46:38the cab stopped outside a villa in the suburbs.

00:46:40Through a window,

00:46:41I saw a living room filled with food and wine.

00:46:43Everyone around the table was painfully familiar.

00:46:46Beside Vincent sat a woman holding a baby.

00:46:49She wore the same earring I'd once found in his car.

00:46:51Her designer dress matched the receipt

00:46:53I'd found in Vincent's pocket.

00:46:55Then I saw her face.

00:46:56I could never forget it.

00:46:57This woman had nearly taken everything from me.

00:47:00A year earlier,

00:47:01my adoptive father,

00:47:02the godfather,

00:47:03found his long-lost biological daughter,

00:47:06Sophia.

00:47:06Only then did I learn I wasn't his real daughter.

00:47:09From that day on,

00:47:10the family shut me out

00:47:11and stripped away every privilege I'd had.

00:47:14They crowned Sophia the princess of the Romano family.

00:47:17And I became the outsider

00:47:18who had stolen her place for years.

00:47:21I couldn't accept it.

00:47:22During one argument,

00:47:23Sophia's bodyguard beat me badly.

00:47:25And my adoptive father threw me out.

00:47:29Now,

00:47:30the brother who had always protected me

00:47:32was carefully cutting Sophia's steak.

00:47:34The best friend who'd sworn to stand by me forever

00:47:37was playing with Sophia's baby.

00:47:39And Vincent,

00:47:40who had just accused me of distrusting him,

00:47:42pulled Sophia into his arms as everyone cheered.

00:47:46The sight made the room spin.

00:47:50After I was thrown out,

00:47:51Vincent promised to care for me for the rest of my life.

00:47:56They all knew I had nowhere to go,

00:47:58yet they still deceived me together.

00:48:00My eyes stung,

00:48:01but I forced back my tears.

00:48:04So this was what betrayal by the people closest to me felt like.

00:48:07I was a fool trapped in their web of lies.

00:48:10Then my phone lit up.

00:48:11One message gave me hope again.

00:48:13We've found your biological parents.

00:48:15We'll pick you up in three days.

00:48:18Thank goodness.

00:48:19Soon,

00:48:19I would have a real family of my own.

00:48:22In three days,

00:48:23I would leave these liars behind.

00:48:24And I would leave Vincent.

00:48:27I turned to go.

00:48:28I couldn't bear their fake smiles for another second.

00:48:31But a voice behind me suddenly called out.

00:48:33Alexia,

00:48:34are you here for my son's first birthday party too?

00:48:37I stopped.

00:48:38Sophia walked toward me with a bright smile.

00:48:41Alexia,

00:48:41I thought you were still angry about father's decision.

00:48:44I'm glad you finally accepted it.

00:48:46By the way,

00:48:47this is our brother's new wife, Camille.

00:48:50You haven't met, have you?

00:48:52You'd already left home when they married.

00:48:55Hello.

00:48:56It's nice to meet you.

00:48:58Camille,

00:48:58my best friend and sister-in-law,

00:49:00gave me a mocking smile before nodding politely.

00:49:02She sounded polite but distant,

00:49:04as if we'd truly never met.

00:49:06Lorenzo watched me from the crowd with a complicated look,

00:49:09but said nothing.

00:49:10Sophia didn't seem to notice Camille's slip.

00:49:13Smiling,

00:49:14she pulled Vincent to her side and pressed close to him.

00:49:17This is my husband.

00:49:19His name is Vanessa.

00:49:20I cut her off with a smile.

00:49:22His name is Vanessa,

00:49:24and he owns this villa.

00:49:26Sophia froze.

00:49:27Her gaze darted between Vincent and me.

00:49:30How do you know his name?

00:49:31Do you two know each other?

00:49:33Vincent's face stiffened,

00:49:34and his eyes flashed a warning.

00:49:36I ignored it and smiled as I nodded.

00:49:39Of course.

00:49:40He's my fiancé.

00:49:41We've been together for five years,

00:49:43and we were about to get married.

00:49:45He bought this villa for me, too.

00:49:47Every detail was decorated to suit my taste.

00:49:50Didn't you know?

00:49:55I covered my mouth in feigned surprise.

00:49:57I only mentioned that the air was nice here,

00:49:59and Vincent had bought me the entire villa,

00:50:01but I prefer our home in the city,

00:50:03so I rarely come here.

00:50:07That was what I said.

00:50:08But the truth was,

00:50:10I hadn't been the one avoiding this place.

00:50:12Vincetta had always claimed it was too far,

00:50:14and rarely brought me here.

00:50:16Now I finally understood.

00:50:18It was just another lie meant to keep me from discovering the truth.

00:50:22Alexia!

00:50:23I know you hate me,

00:50:24but you can't make up lies like this.

00:50:26I married Vincent's at the year father brought me home.

00:50:28How could he possibly be your fiancé?

00:50:30With tears in her eyes,

00:50:32Sophia turned to Vincilla.

00:50:33What is going on?

00:50:34Vincenna, say something!

00:50:37Vinicet hurriedly trossed aside his cigar.

00:50:39Sophia, calm down.

00:50:40Let me explain.

00:50:41Watching him panic,

00:50:42I felt my heart freeze inch by inch.

00:50:44I was the one he'd deceived,

00:50:46yet Sophia was the one he rushed to reassure.

00:50:48Something inside me finally snapped.

00:50:50A furious scream tore from my throat.

00:50:51Look carefully!

00:50:53The man beside you is my fiancé!

00:50:55He has tattoos across his back and chest.

00:50:57I gave him the gun at his waist on our first anniversary!

00:51:00I pointed at the gun,

00:51:01and Vincent immediately covered it with his hand.

00:51:03My name is engraved on it.

00:51:05I carved it myself.

00:51:06I pulled down my collar and revealed the scar on my shoulder.

00:51:09And this scar?

00:51:10I took a bullet for him when a mission went wrong.

00:51:13He sleeps beside me every night,

00:51:14and eats breakfast with me every morning.

00:51:17I even chose the suit he's wearing!

00:51:19So, my dear sister,

00:51:21you're the other woman.

00:51:23You're the secret lover he's been hiding from me!

00:51:26Alexia, shut up!

00:51:27The moment Sophia cried,

00:51:28all three of them tried to silence me at once.

00:51:31Cold fury churned in Vincent's eyes.

00:51:33Lorenzo and Camille looked ready to rush over and cover my mouth.

00:51:35I laughed.

00:51:36Am I wrong?

00:51:37Don't tell me none of you knew.

00:51:39How much longer were you planning to deceive me?

00:51:41Vanessa pulled Sophia firmly into his arms.

00:51:44When he spoke to me,

00:51:45his voice was ice cold.

00:51:46Who gave you the right to speak to Sophia that way?

00:51:49She knew nothing.

00:51:51None of this is her fault.

00:51:57Camille dropped her gentle act,

00:51:58and her voice turned vicious.

00:52:00Don't you understand?

00:52:01He loves her,

00:52:02so you're the one who doesn't belong.

00:52:03The Godfather approved their marriage,

00:52:05and everyone supports them.

00:52:07They're the couple who truly love each other.

00:52:09Lorenzo stepped in front of Sophia,

00:52:11as if afraid I might hurt her.

00:52:12We hid the truth to spare you the humiliation.

00:52:14Sophia is father's biological daughter.

00:52:16Only her marriage to Vincita can earn father's blessing.

00:52:18Just walk away.

00:52:19I looked at Lorenzo,

00:52:20the man I'd called my brother for years,

00:52:22then at my best friend,

00:52:22at the fiancé who'd sworn to love only me,

00:52:24and at Sophia,

00:52:25whose tearful eyes couldn't hide her triumph.

00:52:27My heart felt torn apart.

00:52:28So you convinced father to throw me out?

00:52:30You left me homeless and let people abuse me?

00:52:33Every buried grievance surged up at once,

00:52:35and tears spilled down my face.

00:52:37However you dress it up,

00:52:38she's still the other woman.

00:52:39Every one of you deceived me.

00:52:40You're all liars.

00:52:41Before I could finish,

00:52:43Vincent slapped me across the face.

00:52:45My head snapped to the side,

00:52:47and my ears rang.

00:52:48I gave you a chance, Alexia.

00:52:50You're the one who refused it.

00:52:52I warned you not to speak about Sophia that way.

00:52:55Don't test my limits.

00:52:56Before I recovered,

00:52:57Camille grabbed my arm and dragged me into a bedroom.

00:53:00Sunlight filled the room.

00:53:01Through the window,

00:53:02I could see a distant farm and the garden below.

00:53:05Vincent had originally chosen this room for me himself.

00:53:08He said I deserved the best.

00:53:10But when Camille opened the door,

00:53:12nothing inside reflected my taste.

00:53:14Pink wallpaper,

00:53:15a canopy bed draped in sheer fabric,

00:53:17a claying cloud of perfume,

00:53:18a wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia hung on the wall.

00:53:20Below it photo of Vincent and smaller pictures,

00:53:23their baby,

00:53:23and family portraits of all three of them.

00:53:25Not a single trace of me remained.

00:53:28Face it,

00:53:30Vincent and Sophia are in love.

00:53:32They belong together.

00:53:34He stayed only because you saved his life,

00:53:36and he owed you.

00:53:39I shook my head.

00:53:41No!

00:53:42I don't believe you!

00:53:44Camille patted my shoulder with a pitying look.

00:53:46Do you really think Sophia met the Godfather only a year ago?

00:53:49They've been together for three years.

00:53:52He helped her find her biological father.

00:53:54After that,

00:53:54everyone accepted them.

00:53:55She stared into my eyes and delivered the cruelest blow.

00:53:59Lorenzo and I both believed they were the perfect match.

00:54:01And throwing you out,

00:54:02that was Vincent's idea.

00:54:03Once you were gone for good,

00:54:05no one could threaten Sophia's place in the family.

00:54:07I stared at Camille as if she were a stranger.

00:54:10I couldn't understand how my best friend,

00:54:12my sister-in-law,

00:54:13could do this.

00:54:14When she and Lorenzo chose to marry,

00:54:16she'd hugged me,

00:54:16laughing through tears.

00:54:18She said we'd finally be a real family

00:54:20and stay together forever.

00:54:22She'd even warned Vincenza

00:54:23she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.

00:54:25Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.

00:54:27And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.

00:54:30I couldn't hold back anymore.

00:54:32Tears ran down my face.

00:54:34It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.

00:54:37The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.

00:54:39Footsteps sounded behind me.

00:54:41Vincent and Sophie entered the room.

00:54:43I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.

00:54:45If you truly love each other,

00:54:46then I'll step aside.

00:54:47Alexa.

00:54:48Calm down, don't say things you'll regret.

00:54:49They spoke together,

00:54:50clearly surprised I would let go so easily.

00:54:52I only smiled and looked at Sophia.

00:54:54I was out of this game before it even began.

00:54:56I wish you both happiness.

00:55:00I turned and left.

00:55:02Vincent reached for me,

00:55:04but I stepped aside before he could grab me.

00:55:06Every betrayal,

00:55:07every lie,

00:55:09I carved them all into my memory.

00:55:12I would never forgive them,

00:55:14and I would never forget.

00:55:15I was packing my bags

00:55:17when Vincent suddenly returned to our apartment.

00:55:19The moment he saw my suitcase,

00:55:21he exploded.

00:55:21Alessia, what are you doing?

00:55:22Are you moving out?

00:55:24Are you leaving me?

00:55:25I couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask.

00:55:27Shut up!

00:55:27I glared at him and slapped him hard across the face.

00:55:30Listen carefully, Vincent.

00:55:32You left me.

00:55:33You abandoned me.

00:55:34Should I stay until you throw me out yourself?

00:55:37His cheek quickly turned red.

00:55:38He pressed his tongue against the sore spot,

00:55:40but didn't get angry.

00:55:41Instead, he opened his arms and pulled me into an embrace.

00:55:43All right, sweetheart, I was wrong.

00:55:44Hit me or curse me if it helps.

00:55:46Do you feel better now?

00:55:46We've been together for five years.

00:55:48What we had was real.

00:55:49Can you truly let it go that easily?

00:55:50You nearly died saving me.

00:55:52I'll never forget that,

00:55:52and I would never abandon you.

00:55:54Only then did I realize

00:55:55I'd never truly known Vincent.

00:55:58When had he become this shameless and two-faced?

00:56:01I shoved him away

00:56:03and put distance between us.

00:56:05But Vincent only smiled

00:56:07and approached me with open arms again.

00:56:09Sophia is the Romano family's princess.

00:56:11Marrying her gives me more power.

00:56:12You don't even know who your biological father is.

00:56:15How will you survive without me?

00:56:17Vincent gazed at me with such tenderness

00:56:18as if he truly cared about my future.

00:56:21Sophia and I already have a child.

00:56:22My position in the family has never been stronger.

00:56:24Stay with me.

00:56:25I can give you everything except the title of wife.

00:56:28I wanted to throw up.

00:56:29Every word from his mouth made me sick.

00:56:32When I didn't answer,

00:56:33Vincent took my silence as consent.

00:56:35Smiling, he stroked my hair.

00:56:37Let me make it up to you.

00:56:38We'll go shopping,

00:56:39and I'll buy you anything you want.

00:56:41Before I could respond,

00:56:42Lorenzo and Camille rushed through the open door.

00:56:48Lorenzo charged at me and slapped me to the floor.

00:56:50Camille seized my collar and screamed in my face.

00:56:53Alexia, where did you hide Sophia's baby?

00:56:56Sophia ran in crying and shook my shoulders.

00:56:58You took my baby, didn't you?

00:57:00Tell me where he is.

00:57:01He's only one.

00:57:01He'll die without me.

00:57:03I'll give Vincent back.

00:57:04I don't want my place in the family either.

00:57:06I'll give you anything.

00:57:07Just return my baby.

00:57:08The smile vanished from Vincent's face.

00:57:10He stepped forward, tense.

00:57:12What do you mean the baby is missing?

00:57:14He disappeared during his nap.

00:57:16He can barely walk.

00:57:17Someone must have taken him.

00:57:20Vincent roared, pulled his gun,

00:57:22and pressed the barrel hard against my forehead.

00:57:24No wonder you were packing to run.

00:57:26You knew what you'd done

00:57:27and planned to flee before we caught you.

00:57:29Tell me, where did you hide him?

00:57:31The cold barrel touched my skin,

00:57:33and my blood seemed to freeze.

00:57:35Years ago, I hadn't feared being outnumbered in a gunfight.

00:57:37I hadn't been afraid when I took a bullet for Vincent.

00:57:40But now, I was truly terrified.

00:57:42Not of dying.

00:57:43I feared I wouldn't live to see them kneel and beg for mercy.

00:57:47I didn't do anything.

00:57:48I've never even seen that baby.

00:57:50Sophia collapsed to the floor,

00:57:52sobbing so hard she almost vanted.

00:57:54If you want revenge, take it out on me!

00:57:56The baby is innocent!

00:57:58If anything happens to him,

00:58:00I can't go on living!

00:58:01Each word tightened Vincent's grip on the gun.

00:58:05Click.

00:58:06He chambered around.

00:58:08In another second,

00:58:09the bullet would go through my head.

00:58:11I really don't know.

00:58:13I had done nothing.

00:58:14How could I confess?

00:58:15Lorenzo stood nearby, his face cold.

00:58:17Even if you were still my sister,

00:58:19I couldn't cover for you,

00:58:19and you're not anymore.

00:58:21He turned to Vincent.

00:58:22Alessia won't talk.

00:58:23Teach her a lesson,

00:58:24or she won't tell us anything.

00:58:25Vanessa nodded and lowered his gun,

00:58:27his eyes terrifyingly cold.

00:58:29Then beat her until she talks.

00:58:43I was the daughter of a mafia godfather.

00:58:46The day I met Vincent,

00:58:47he fell in love with me at first sight.

00:58:50The first time,

00:58:51I found a receipt from a luxury boutique in his pocket.

00:58:54It was a gift for another boss's wife.

00:58:56In our world,

00:58:57every courtesy has to be handled properly.

00:59:00I chose to believe him.

00:59:02The second time,

00:59:03I found an earring in his car that wasn't mine.

00:59:05One of his friends claimed it belonged to his girlfriend

00:59:08and told me not to read into it.

00:59:10Then came a third time and a fourth.

00:59:13Whenever I found something suspicious,

00:59:14someone always had an excuse ready.

00:59:18The tenth time,

00:59:19I pulled a box of condoms from under our bed

00:59:21and held it up in front of him.

00:59:24Who's are these?

00:59:25We never use this brand.

00:59:27Vincent paused halfway through,

00:59:29nodding his tie.

00:59:30With a weary sigh,

00:59:31he made a call.

00:59:33Lorenzo,

00:59:34when you stayed over last time,

00:59:35did you leave a box of condoms here?

00:59:37Yeah,

00:59:38I've been looking for them.

00:59:40Sorry.

00:59:41Is my sister doubting you again?

00:59:43Then Camille,

00:59:44my sister-in-law,

00:59:45and my best friend,

00:59:46started lecturing me.

00:59:46Alexia,

00:59:47trust is the foundation of any relationship.

00:59:51You can't keep doubting Vincent.

00:59:53If you can't trust him,

00:59:54don't marry him.

00:59:56Stop taking Vincent's love for granted.

00:59:58After the call ended,

00:59:59Vincent spread his hands.

01:00:04Alexia,

01:00:04we should end this.

01:00:05This is the tenth time.

01:00:07Like Camille said,

01:00:08if you can't trust me,

01:00:09maybe we shouldn't.

01:00:10You're right.

01:00:11We're canceling the wedding.

01:00:13Vincent would never have guessed

01:00:14that no one else had left those condoms.

01:00:16I bought them myself

01:00:17and planted them under the bed.

01:00:22That single box was all it took

01:00:24to tear open the ugly truth

01:00:25behind our so-called love.

01:00:28I've canceled the wedding photographer.

01:00:30Don't bother buying the rings.

01:00:31The moment I finished,

01:00:32Vincent tugged at his tie in annoyance.

01:00:35Alexia,

01:00:35how long are you going to keep this up?

01:00:36Even your brother vouched for me.

01:00:38What more do you want?

01:00:39He sat at the other end of the bed

01:00:40with his back to me.

01:00:41If you're sick,

01:00:42see a doctor.

01:00:43But stop suspecting me all day.

01:00:44You're only hurting our relationship.

01:00:47One day,

01:00:47your suspicions will wear away

01:00:49every bit of love I have for you.

01:00:51I'm serious, Alexia.

01:00:53A marriage can't last without trust.

01:00:55Before I could answer,

01:00:56his phone chimed.

01:00:57The instant he read the message,

01:00:59the irritation in his eyes

01:01:00melted into tenderness.

01:01:02But when he looked at me again,

01:01:03his gaze turned cold.

01:01:05I'm busy today.

01:01:06Find something to do

01:01:07so you don't sit around

01:01:07doubting me again.

01:01:09He straightened his tie

01:01:10and left without looking back.

01:01:11I knew Vincent

01:01:12was hiding something.

01:01:13Instead of taking my car,

01:01:15I hailed a cab

01:01:16and followed him.

01:01:17Forty minutes later,

01:01:18the cab stopped outside

01:01:19a villa in the suburbs.

01:01:20Through a window,

01:01:21I saw a living room

01:01:22filled with food and wine.

01:01:24Everyone around the table

01:01:25was painfully familiar.

01:01:26Beside Vincent

01:01:27sat a woman holding a baby.

01:01:29She wore the same earring

01:01:30I'd once found in his car.

01:01:31Her designer dress

01:01:32matched the receipt

01:01:33I'd found in Vincent's pocket.

01:01:35Then I saw her face.

01:01:36I could never forget it.

01:01:37This woman had nearly

01:01:38taken everything from me.

01:01:40A year earlier,

01:01:41my adoptive father,

01:01:42the godfather,

01:01:43found his long-lost

01:01:44biological daughter,

01:01:46Sophia.

01:01:47Only then did I learn

01:01:48I wasn't his real daughter.

01:01:49From that day on,

01:01:50the family shut me out

01:01:52and stripped away

01:01:52every privilege I'd had.

01:01:54They crowned Sophia

01:01:55the princess of the Romano family

01:01:57and I became the outsider

01:01:59who had stolen her place

01:02:00for years.

01:02:01I couldn't accept it.

01:02:02During one argument,

01:02:03Sophia's bodyguard

01:02:04beat me badly

01:02:05and my adoptive father

01:02:07threw me out.

01:02:10Now,

01:02:10the brother who had

01:02:11always protected me

01:02:12was carefully cutting

01:02:13Sophia's stake.

01:02:15The best friend

01:02:15who'd sworn to stand by me

01:02:17forever was playing

01:02:18with Sophia's baby

01:02:19and Vincent,

01:02:20who had just accused me

01:02:21of distrusting him,

01:02:22pulled Sophia into his arms

01:02:24as everyone cheered.

01:02:26The sight made the room spin.

01:02:30After I was thrown out,

01:02:32Vincent promised to care for me

01:02:33for the rest of my life.

01:02:36They all knew

01:02:37I had nowhere to go,

01:02:38yet they still

01:02:39deceived me together.

01:02:40My eyes stung,

01:02:42but I forced back

01:02:43my tears.

01:02:44So this was what betrayal

01:02:45by the people

01:02:46closest to me

01:02:47felt like.

01:02:48I was a fool

01:02:49trapped in their web

01:02:50of lies.

01:02:50Then my phone lit up.

01:02:52One message

01:02:52gave me hope again.

01:02:53We've found your

01:02:54biological parents.

01:02:55We'll pick you up

01:02:56in three days.

01:02:58Thank goodness.

01:02:59Soon,

01:03:00I would have a real

01:03:00family of my own.

01:03:01In three days,

01:03:03I would leave

01:03:03these liars behind.

01:03:04And I would leave

01:03:05Vincent.

01:03:07I turned to go.

01:03:08I couldn't bear

01:03:09their fake smiles

01:03:10for another second.

01:03:11But a voice behind me

01:03:12suddenly called out.

01:03:14Alexia,

01:03:14are you here

01:03:15for my son's

01:03:16first birthday party too?

01:03:17I stopped.

01:03:19Sophia walked toward me

01:03:20with a bright smile.

01:03:21Alexia,

01:03:22I thought you were

01:03:22still angry

01:03:23about father's decision.

01:03:24I'm glad you

01:03:25finally accepted it.

01:03:27By the way,

01:03:27this is our brother's

01:03:28new wife,

01:03:29Camille.

01:03:30You haven't met,

01:03:31have you?

01:03:32You'd already

01:03:33left home

01:03:33when they married.

01:03:36Hello.

01:03:37It's nice to meet you.

01:03:38Camille,

01:03:39my best friend

01:03:39and sister-in-law,

01:03:40gave me a mocking

01:03:41smile before

01:03:42nodding politely.

01:03:43She sounded polite

01:03:44but distant,

01:03:44as if we'd truly

01:03:45never met.

01:03:46Lorenzo watched me

01:03:47from the crowd

01:03:48with a complicated look

01:03:49but said nothing.

01:03:50Sophia didn't seem

01:03:51to notice Camille's

01:03:52slip.

01:03:53Smiling,

01:03:54she pulled Vincent

01:03:55to her side

01:03:55and pressed close to him.

01:03:57This is my husband.

01:03:59His name is

01:04:00Vanessa.

01:04:00I cut her off

01:04:01with a smile.

01:04:03His name is

01:04:03Vanessa

01:04:04and he owns

01:04:05this villa.

01:04:06Sophia froze.

01:04:07Her gaze darted

01:04:09between Vincent and me.

01:04:10How do you know

01:04:11his name?

01:04:12Do you two

01:04:12know each other?

01:04:13Vincent's face

01:04:14stiffened

01:04:15and his eyes

01:04:15flashed a warning.

01:04:16I ignored it

01:04:17and smiled

01:04:18as I nodded.

01:04:19Of course,

01:04:20he's my fiancé.

01:04:22We've been together

01:04:22for five years

01:04:23and we were about

01:04:24to get married.

01:04:25He bought this villa

01:04:26for me too.

01:04:28Every detail

01:04:28was decorated

01:04:29to suit my taste.

01:04:30Didn't you know?

01:04:35I covered my mouth

01:04:36in feigned surprise.

01:04:37I only mentioned

01:04:38that the air

01:04:39was nice here

01:04:40and Vincent

01:04:40bought me

01:04:41the entire villa

01:04:41but I prefer

01:04:43our home

01:04:43in the city

01:04:43so I rarely

01:04:45come here.

01:04:47That was what I said

01:04:48but the truth was

01:04:50I hadn't been

01:04:50the one

01:04:51avoiding this place.

01:04:53Vincetta

01:04:53had always claimed

01:04:54it was too far

01:04:55and rarely

01:04:55brought me here.

01:04:56Now I finally

01:04:57understood.

01:04:58It was just

01:04:59another lie

01:05:00meant to keep me

01:05:01from discovering

01:05:01the truth.

01:05:02Alexia!

01:05:03I know you hate me

01:05:04but you can't

01:05:05make up lies like this.

01:05:06I married Vincent

01:05:07since the year

01:05:07father brought me home.

01:05:08How could he possibly

01:05:09be your fiancé?

01:05:10With tears in her eyes

01:05:12Sophia turned to Vincilla.

01:05:14What is going on?

01:05:14Vincenna say something!

01:05:17Vincet hurriedly

01:05:18trossed aside his cigar.

01:05:19Sophia,

01:05:20calm down.

01:05:21Let me explain.

01:05:21Watching him panic

01:05:22I felt my heart freeze

01:05:23inch by inch.

01:05:24I was the one

01:05:25he deceived

01:05:25yet Sophia was the one

01:05:27he rushed to reassure.

01:05:28Something inside me

01:05:29finally snapped.

01:05:30A furious scream

01:05:31tore from my throat.

01:05:32Look carefully!

01:05:33The man beside you

01:05:34is my fiancé!

01:05:35He has tattoos

01:05:36across his back and chest.

01:05:37I gave him the gun

01:05:38at his waist

01:05:38on our first anniversary!

01:05:40I pointed at the gun

01:05:41and Vincent

01:05:42immediately covered it

01:05:43with his hand.

01:05:44My name is engraved on it.

01:05:45I carved it myself.

01:05:47I pulled down my collar

01:05:47and revealed the scar

01:05:48on my shoulder.

01:05:49And this scar?

01:05:51I took a bullet for him

01:05:52when a mission went wrong.

01:05:53He sleeps beside me

01:05:54every night

01:05:54and eats breakfast

01:05:55with me every morning.

01:05:57I even chose

01:05:58the suit he's wearing!

01:05:59So, my dear sister,

01:06:01you're the other woman.

01:06:03You're the secret lover

01:06:04he's been hiding from me!

01:06:06Alexia, shut up!

01:06:07The moment Sophia cried,

01:06:09all three of them

01:06:09tried to silence me at once.

01:06:11Cold fury

01:06:12churned in Vincent's eyes.

01:06:13Lorenzo and Kamel

01:06:14looked ready to rush over

01:06:15and cover my mouth.

01:06:15I laughed.

01:06:16Am I wrong?

01:06:17Don't tell me

01:06:18none of you knew.

01:06:19How much longer

01:06:20were you planning

01:06:20to deceive me?

01:06:21Vanessa pulled Sophia

01:06:23firmly into his arms.

01:06:24When he spoke to me,

01:06:25his voice was ice cold.

01:06:26Who gave you the right

01:06:27to speak to Sophia

01:06:28that way?

01:06:30She knew nothing.

01:06:31None of this

01:06:32is her fault.

01:06:37Camille dropped

01:06:37her gentle act

01:06:38and her voice

01:06:39turned vicious.

01:06:40Don't you understand?

01:06:41He loves her

01:06:42so you're the one

01:06:42who doesn't belong.

01:06:43The Godfather

01:06:44approved their marriage

01:06:45and everyone

01:06:46supports them.

01:06:47They're the couple

01:06:48who truly love each other.

01:06:49Lorenzo stepped in front

01:06:50of Sophia

01:06:51as if afraid

01:06:51I might hurt her.

01:06:52We hid the truth

01:06:53to spare you

01:06:53the humiliation.

01:06:54Sophia is father's

01:06:55biological daughter.

01:06:56Only her marriage

01:06:57to Vincita

01:06:57can earn father's blessing.

01:06:58Just walk away.

01:06:59I looked at Lorenzo,

01:07:00the man I'd called

01:07:01my brother for years.

01:07:02Then at my best friend,

01:07:03at the fiancé

01:07:03who'd sworn to love

01:07:04only me,

01:07:04and at Sophia,

01:07:05whose tearful eyes

01:07:06couldn't hide her triumph.

01:07:07My heart felt torn apart.

01:07:09So you convinced

01:07:09father to throw me out?

01:07:11You left me homeless

01:07:12and let people abuse me?

01:07:13Every buried grievance

01:07:14surged up at once

01:07:15and tears spilled

01:07:16down my face.

01:07:17However you dress it up,

01:07:18she's still the other woman.

01:07:19Every one of you

01:07:20deceived me.

01:07:20You're all liars.

01:07:21Before I could finish,

01:07:23Vincent slapped me

01:07:24across the face.

01:07:25My head snapped to the side

01:07:27and my ears rang.

01:07:29I gave you a chance, Alexia.

01:07:30You're the one

01:07:31who refused it.

01:07:32I warned you not to speak

01:07:34about Sophia that way.

01:07:35Don't test my limits.

01:07:37Before I recovered,

01:07:38Camille grabbed my arm

01:07:39and dragged me

01:07:39into a bedroom.

01:07:40Sunlight filled the room.

01:07:42Through the window,

01:07:42I could see a distant farm

01:07:43and the garden below.

01:07:45Vincent had originally chosen

01:07:46this room for me himself.

01:07:48He said I deserved the best.

01:07:50But when Camille opened the door,

01:07:52nothing inside reflected my taste.

01:07:54Pink wallpaper,

01:07:55a canopy bed draped in sheer fabric,

01:07:57a claying cloud of perfume,

01:07:58a wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia

01:08:00hung on the wall.

01:08:01Below it,

01:08:01photo Vinced and smaller pictures,

01:08:03their baby,

01:08:03and family portraits

01:08:04of all three of them.

01:08:05Not a single trace of me remained.

01:08:09Face it, Alessia.

01:08:10Vincent and Sophia are in love.

01:08:12They belong together.

01:08:14He stayed

01:08:15only because you saved his life

01:08:17and he owed you.

01:08:19I shook my head.

01:08:21No!

01:08:22I don't believe you!

01:08:24Camille patted my shoulder

01:08:25with a pitying look.

01:08:26Do you really think Sophia

01:08:27met the Godfather

01:08:28only a year ago?

01:08:30They've been together

01:08:31for three years.

01:08:32He helped her find

01:08:33her biological father.

01:08:34After that,

01:08:35everyone accepted them.

01:08:36She stared into my eyes

01:08:37and delivered

01:08:38the cruelest blow.

01:08:39Lorenzo and I both believed

01:08:40they were the perfect match.

01:08:41And throwing you out,

01:08:42that was Vincent's idea.

01:08:44Once you were gone for good,

01:08:45no one could threaten

01:08:46Sophia's place in the family.

01:08:48I stared at Camille

01:08:49as if she were a stranger.

01:08:50I couldn't understand

01:08:51how my best friend,

01:08:52my sister-in-law,

01:08:53could do this.

01:08:54When she and Lorenzo

01:08:55chose to marry,

01:08:56she'd hugged me,

01:08:57laughing through tears.

01:08:58She said we'd finally

01:08:59be a real family

01:09:00and stay together forever.

01:09:02She'd even warned Vincenza

01:09:03she'd skin him alive

01:09:04if he ever hurt me.

01:09:05Yet now she helped

01:09:06another woman

01:09:07take him from me.

01:09:08And she said I was

01:09:08the one who shouldn't exist.

01:09:10I couldn't hold back anymore.

01:09:12Tears ran down my face.

01:09:14It felt as if a knife

01:09:16had split my heart open.

01:09:17The pain was worse

01:09:18than the day I'd been shot.

01:09:19Footsteps sounded behind me.

01:09:21Vincent and Sophie

01:09:22entered the room.

01:09:23I wiped away my tears

01:09:24and took a deep breath.

01:09:25If you truly love each other,

01:09:26then I'll step aside.

01:09:27Alexa.

01:09:28Calm down,

01:09:28don't say things you'll regret.

01:09:29They spoke together,

01:09:30clearly surprised

01:09:31I would let go so easily.

01:09:32I only smiled

01:09:33and looked at Sophia.

01:09:34I was out of this game

01:09:35before it even began.

01:09:36I wish you both happiness.

01:09:41I turned and left.

01:09:42Vincent reached for me,

01:09:44but I stepped aside

01:09:45before he could grab me.

01:09:46Every betrayal,

01:09:48every lie,

01:09:50I carved them all

01:09:51into my memory.

01:09:52I would never forgive them

01:09:54and I would never forget.

01:09:56I was packing my bags

01:09:57when Vincent suddenly

01:09:58returned to our apartment.

01:09:59The moment he saw my suitcase,

01:10:01he exploded.

01:10:02Alessia, what are you doing?

01:10:03Are you moving out?

01:10:04Are you leaving me?

01:10:05I couldn't believe

01:10:05he had the nerve to ask.

01:10:07Shut up!

01:10:08I glared at him

01:10:08and slapped him hard

01:10:09across the face.

01:10:10Listen carefully, Vincent.

01:10:12You left me.

01:10:13You abandoned me.

01:10:14Should I stay

01:10:15until you throw me out yourself?

01:10:17His cheek quickly turned red.

01:10:19He pressed his tongue

01:10:19against the sore spot

01:10:20but didn't get angry.

01:10:22Instead, he opened his arms

01:10:23and pulled me into an embrace.

01:10:24All right, sweetheart.

01:10:24I was wrong.

01:10:25Hit me or curse me if it helps.

01:10:26Do you feel better now?

01:10:27We've been together for five years.

01:10:28What we had was real.

01:10:29Can you truly let it go that easily?

01:10:31You nearly died saving me.

01:10:32I'll never forget that

01:10:33and I would never abandon you.

01:10:34Only then did I realize

01:10:35I'd never truly known Vincent.

01:10:38When had he become

01:10:39this shameless and two-faced?

01:10:42I shoved him away

01:10:43and put distance between us.

01:10:45But Vincent only smiled

01:10:47and approached me

01:10:48with open arms again.

01:10:49Sophia is the Romano family's princess.

01:10:51Marrying her gives me more power.

01:10:53You don't even know

01:10:53who your biological father is.

01:10:55How will you survive without me?

01:10:57Vincent had gazed at me

01:10:58with such tenderness

01:10:59as if he truly cared

01:11:00about my future.

01:11:01Sophia and I already have a child.

01:11:02My position in the family

01:11:03has never been stronger.

01:11:05Stay with me.

01:11:05I can give you everything

01:11:06except the title of wife.

01:11:08I wanted to throw up.

01:11:10Every word from his mouth

01:11:11made me sick.

01:11:12When I didn't answer

01:11:13Vincent took my silence as consent.

01:11:15Smiling, he stroked my hair.

01:11:17Let me make it up to you.

01:11:19We'll go shopping

01:11:19and I'll buy you anything you want.

01:11:21Before I could respond

01:11:22Lorenzo and Camille

01:11:24rushed through the open door.

01:11:28Lorenzo charged at me

01:11:29and slapped me to the floor.

01:11:31Camille seized my collar

01:11:32and screamed in my face.

01:11:34Alexia, where did you hide

01:11:35Sophia's baby?

01:11:36Sophia ran in crying

01:11:37and shook my shoulders.

01:11:39You took my baby.

01:11:39Didn't you tell me where he is?

01:11:41He's only one.

01:11:42He'll die without me.

01:11:43I'll give Vincent back.

01:11:44I don't want my place

01:11:45in the family either.

01:11:46I'll give you anything.

01:11:47Just return my baby.

01:11:48The smile vanished

01:11:49from Vincent's face.

01:11:50He stepped forward, tense.

01:11:52What do you mean

01:11:53the baby is missing?

01:11:54He disappeared during his nap.

01:11:56He can barely walk.

01:11:58Someone must have taken him.

01:12:00Vincent roared,

01:12:01pulled his gun

01:12:02and pressed the barrel

01:12:03hard against my forehead.

01:12:04No wonder you were

01:12:05packing to run.

01:12:06You knew what you'd done

01:12:07and planned to flee

01:12:08before we caught you.

01:12:09Tell me!

01:12:10Where did you hide him?

01:12:12The cold barrel

01:12:12touched my skin

01:12:13and my blood

01:12:14seemed to freeze.

01:12:15Years ago,

01:12:16I hadn't feared

01:12:16being outnumbered

01:12:17in a gunfight.

01:12:18I hadn't been afraid

01:12:19when I took a bullet

01:12:19for Vincent.

01:12:20But now,

01:12:21I was truly terrified.

01:12:23Not of dying.

01:12:24I feared I wouldn't live

01:12:25to see them kneel

01:12:26and beg for mercy.

01:12:27I didn't do anything.

01:12:29I've never even

01:12:29seen that baby.

01:12:30Sophia collapsed

01:12:31to the floor,

01:12:32sobbing so hard

01:12:33she almost vanted.

01:12:34If you want revenge,

01:12:35take it out on me!

01:12:37The baby is innocent!

01:12:38If anything happens to him,

01:12:40I can't go on living!

01:12:42Each word tightened

01:12:43Vincent's grip on the gun.

01:12:45Click.

01:12:46He chambered around.

01:12:48In another second,

01:12:49the bullet would go

01:12:50through my head.

01:12:51I really don't know.

01:12:53I had done nothing.

01:12:54How could I confess?

01:12:55Lorenzo stood nearby,

01:12:57his face cold.

01:12:58Even if you were still

01:12:58my sister,

01:12:59I couldn't cover for you.

01:13:00And you're not anymore.

01:13:01He turned to Vincent.

01:13:02Alessia won't talk.

01:13:03Teach her a lesson

01:13:04or she won't tell us anything.

01:13:05Vanessa nodded

01:13:06and lowered his gun,

01:13:07his eyes terrifyingly cold.

01:13:09Then beat her

01:13:09until she talks.

01:13:24I was the daughter

01:13:25of a mafia godfather.

01:13:26The day I met Vincent,

01:13:27he fell in love with me

01:13:28at first sight.

01:13:31The first time,

01:13:32I found a receipt

01:13:32from a luxury boutique

01:13:34in his pocket.

01:13:34It was a gift

01:13:35for another boss's wife.

01:13:37In our world,

01:13:38every courtesy

01:13:38has to be handled properly.

01:13:40I chose to believe him.

01:13:42The second time,

01:13:43I found an earring

01:13:44in his car

01:13:44that wasn't mine.

01:13:45One of his friends

01:13:46claimed it belonged

01:13:47to his girlfriend

01:13:49and told me

01:13:49not to read into it.

01:13:51Then came a third time

01:13:52and a fourth.

01:13:53Whenever I found

01:13:53something suspicious,

01:13:55someone always

01:13:55had an excuse ready.

01:13:58The tenth time,

01:13:59I pulled a box of condoms

01:14:00from under our bed

01:14:01and held it up

01:14:02in front of him.

01:14:04Who's are these?

01:14:06We never use this brand.

01:14:07Vincent paused

01:14:08halfway through

01:14:09nodding his tie.

01:14:10With a weary sigh,

01:14:11he made a call.

01:14:13Lorenzo,

01:14:14when you stayed over

01:14:15last time,

01:14:16did you leave

01:14:16a box of condoms here?

01:14:17Yeah,

01:14:18I've been looking for them.

01:14:20Sorry.

01:14:21Is my sister

01:14:22doubting you again?

01:14:23Then Camille,

01:14:24my sister-in-law

01:14:25and my best friend

01:14:26started lecturing me.

01:14:27Alexia,

01:14:28trust is the foundation

01:14:29of any relationship.

01:14:31You can't keep

01:14:32doubting Vincent.

01:14:33If you can't trust him,

01:14:35don't marry him.

01:14:36Stop taking

01:14:37Vincent's love for granted.

01:14:38After the call ended,

01:14:39Vincent spread his hands.

01:14:44Alexia,

01:14:44we should end this.

01:14:45This is the tenth time.

01:14:47Like Camille said,

01:14:48if you can't trust me,

01:14:49maybe we shouldn't.

01:14:50You're right.

01:14:51We're canceling the wedding.

01:14:53Vincent would never have guessed

01:14:54that no one else

01:14:55had left those condoms.

01:14:56I bought them myself

01:14:57and planted them

01:14:58under the bed.

01:15:03That single box

01:15:04was all it took

01:15:04to tear open

01:15:05the ugly truth

01:15:06behind our so-called love.

01:15:08I've canceled

01:15:09the wedding photographer.

01:15:10Don't bother

01:15:11buying the rings.

01:15:11The moment I finished,

01:15:13Vincent tugged

01:15:13at his tie in annoyance.

01:15:15Alexia,

01:15:15how long are you

01:15:16going to keep this up?

01:15:16Even your brother

01:15:17vouched for me.

01:15:18What more do you want?

01:15:19He sat at the other end

01:15:20of the bed

01:15:20with his back to me.

01:15:22If you're sick,

01:15:22see a doctor.

01:15:23But stop suspecting me

01:15:24all day.

01:15:25You're only hurting

01:15:26our relationship.

01:15:27One day,

01:15:28your suspicions

01:15:28will wear away

01:15:29every bit of love

01:15:30I have for you.

01:15:31I'm serious, Alexia.

01:15:33A marriage can't last

01:15:34without trust.

01:15:35Before I could answer,

01:15:36his phone chimed.

01:15:37The instant he read

01:15:38the message,

01:15:39the irritation in his eyes

01:15:41melted into tenderness.

01:15:42But when he looked at me again,

01:15:43his gaze turned cold.

01:15:45I'm busy today.

01:15:46Find something to do

01:15:47so you don't sit around

01:15:48doubting me again.

01:15:49He straightened his tie

01:15:50and left without looking back.

01:15:52I knew Vincent

01:15:52was hiding something.

01:15:54Instead of taking my car,

01:15:55I hailed a cab

01:15:56and followed him.

01:15:57Forty minutes later,

01:15:58the cab stopped outside

01:15:59a villa in the suburbs.

01:16:00Through a window,

01:16:01I saw a living room

01:16:02filled with food and wine.

01:16:04Everyone around the table

01:16:05was painfully familiar.

01:16:07Beside Vincent

01:16:07sat a woman holding a baby.

01:16:09She wore the same earring

01:16:10I'd once found in his car.

01:16:12Her designer dress

01:16:13matched the receipt

01:16:13I'd found in Vincent's pocket.

01:16:15Then I saw her face.

01:16:16I could never forget it.

01:16:17This woman had nearly

01:16:18taken everything from me.

01:16:20A year earlier,

01:16:21my adoptive father,

01:16:23the godfather,

01:16:24found his long-lost

01:16:25biological daughter,

01:16:26Sophia.

01:16:27Only then did I learn

01:16:28I wasn't his real daughter.

01:16:29From that day on,

01:16:31the family shut me out

01:16:32and stripped away

01:16:33every privilege I'd had.

01:16:34They crowned Sophia

01:16:35the princess of the Romano family

01:16:37and I became the outsider

01:16:39who had stolen her place

01:16:40for years.

01:16:41I couldn't accept it.

01:16:42During one argument,

01:16:43Sophia's bodyguard

01:16:45beat me badly

01:16:45and my adoptive father

01:16:47threw me out.

01:16:50Now,

01:16:51the brother who had

01:16:52always protected me

01:16:53was carefully cutting

01:16:54Sophia's stake.

01:16:55The best friend

01:16:56who'd sworn to stand

01:16:56by me forever

01:16:57was playing with

01:16:58Sophia's baby

01:16:59and Vincent,

01:17:00who had just accused me

01:17:01of distrusting him,

01:17:02pulled Sophia

01:17:03into his arms

01:17:04as everyone cheered.

01:17:07The sight made

01:17:08the room spin.

01:17:10After I was thrown out,

01:17:12Vincent promised to care

01:17:13for me for the rest

01:17:14of my life.

01:17:16They all knew

01:17:17I had nowhere to go,

01:17:18yet they still deceived

01:17:19me together.

01:17:21My eyes stung,

01:17:22but I forced back

01:17:23my tears.

01:17:24So this was what

01:17:25betrayal by the people

01:17:26closest to me

01:17:27felt like.

01:17:28I was a fool

01:17:29trapped in their web

01:17:30of lies.

01:17:31Then my phone lit up.

01:17:32One message gave me

01:17:33hope again.

01:17:34We've found your

01:17:35biological parents.

01:17:36We'll pick you up

01:17:37in three days.

01:17:38Thank goodness.

01:17:39Soon, I would have

01:17:40a real family of my own.

01:17:42In three days,

01:17:43I would leave

01:17:44these liars behind

01:17:45and I would leave

01:17:46Vincent.

01:17:47I turned to go.

01:17:49I couldn't bear

01:17:49their fake smiles

01:17:50for another second,

01:17:51but a voice behind me

01:17:52suddenly called out.

01:17:54Alexia,

01:17:55are you here

01:17:56for my son's

01:17:56first birthday party too?

01:17:57I stopped.

01:17:59Sophia walked toward me

01:18:00with a bright smile.

01:18:01Alexia,

01:18:02I thought you were

01:18:03still angry

01:18:03about father's decision.

01:18:04I'm glad you've

01:18:05finally accepted it.

01:18:07By the way,

01:18:08this is our brother's

01:18:08new wife, Camille.

01:18:10You haven't met,

01:18:11have you?

01:18:12You'd already left

01:18:13home when they married.

01:18:16Hello.

01:18:17It's nice to meet you.

01:18:18Camille,

01:18:19my best friend

01:18:20and sister-in-law,

01:18:21gave me a mocking

01:18:21smile before nodding

01:18:23politely.

01:18:23She sounded polite

01:18:24but distant,

01:18:25as if we'd truly

01:18:25never met.

01:18:26Lorenzo watched me

01:18:27from the crowd

01:18:28with a complicated look

01:18:29but said nothing.

01:18:30Sophia didn't seem

01:18:31to notice Camille's slip.

01:18:33Smiling,

01:18:34she pulled Vincent

01:18:35to her side

01:18:36and pressed close

01:18:36to him.

01:18:37This is my husband.

01:18:39His name is

01:18:40Vanessa.

01:18:41I cut her off

01:18:42with a smile.

01:18:43His name is Vanessa

01:18:44and he owns

01:18:45this villa.

01:18:46Sophia froze.

01:18:47Her gaze darted

01:18:49between Vincent

01:18:49and me.

01:18:50How do you know

01:18:51his name?

01:18:52Do you two know

01:18:53each other?

01:18:53Vincent's face

01:18:54stiffened

01:18:55and his eyes

01:18:55flashed a warning.

01:18:57I ignored it

01:18:58and smiled

01:18:58as I nodded.

01:18:59Of course,

01:19:00he's my fiance.

01:19:02We've been together

01:19:03for five years

01:19:03and we were about

01:19:04to get married.

01:19:05He bought this villa

01:19:06for me too.

01:19:08Every detail

01:19:09was decorated

01:19:09to suit my taste.

01:19:10Didn't you know?

01:19:15I covered my mouth

01:19:16in feigned surprise.

01:19:18I only mentioned

01:19:19that the air

01:19:19was nice here

01:19:20and Vincent

01:19:20bought me

01:19:21the entire villa

01:19:22but I prefer

01:19:23our home in the city

01:19:24so I rarely come here.

01:19:27That was what I said

01:19:28but the truth was

01:19:30I hadn't been

01:19:31the one avoiding

01:19:31this place.

01:19:33Vincetta had always

01:19:34claimed it was

01:19:34too far

01:19:35and rarely brought

01:19:36me here.

01:19:36Now I finally

01:19:37understood.

01:19:38It was just

01:19:39another lie

01:19:40meant to keep me

01:19:41from discovering

01:19:41the truth.

01:19:43Alexia!

01:19:43I know you hate me

01:19:45but you can't

01:19:45make up lies

01:19:45like this.

01:19:46I married Vincent

01:19:47since the year

01:19:47father brought me home.

01:19:48How could he possibly

01:19:49be your fiance?

01:19:50With tears in her eyes

01:19:52Sophia turned

01:19:53to Vincilla.

01:19:54What is going on?

01:19:55Vincenna say something!

01:19:57Vincet hurriedly

01:19:58trossed aside his cigar.

01:19:59Sophia, calm down.

01:20:01Let me explain.

01:20:02Watching him panic

01:20:02I felt my heart

01:20:03freeze inch by inch.

01:20:05I was the one

01:20:05he'd deceived

01:20:06yet Sophia was the one

01:20:07he rushed to reassure.

01:20:09Something inside me

01:20:09finally snapped.

01:20:10A furious scream

01:20:11tore from my throat.

01:20:12Look carefully!

01:20:13The man beside you

01:20:14is my fiance!

01:20:15He has tattoos

01:20:16across his back and chest.

01:20:17I gave him the gun

01:20:18at his waist

01:20:18on our first anniversary!

01:20:20I pointed at the gun

01:20:21and Vincent

01:20:22immediately covered it

01:20:23with his hand.

01:20:24My name is engraved on it.

01:20:25I carved it myself.

01:20:27I pulled down my collar

01:20:28and revealed the scar

01:20:28on my shoulder.

01:20:29And this scar?

01:20:31I took a bullet for him

01:20:32when a mission went wrong.

01:20:33He sleeps beside me

01:20:34every night

01:20:35and eats breakfast

01:20:36with me every morning.

01:20:37I even chose

01:20:38the suit he's wearing!

01:20:40So, my dear sister,

01:20:42you're the other woman.

01:20:43You're the secret lover

01:20:44he's been hiding from me!

01:20:46Alexia, shut up!

01:20:47The moment Sophia cried,

01:20:49all three of them

01:20:49tried to silence me at once.

01:20:51Cold fury

01:20:52churned in Vincent's eyes.

01:20:53Lorenzo and Camille

01:20:54looked ready to rush over

01:20:55and cover my mouth.

01:20:56I laughed.

01:20:56Am I wrong?

01:20:58Don't tell me none of you knew!

01:20:59How much longer

01:21:00were you planning

01:21:01to deceive me?

01:21:02Vanessa pulled Sophia

01:21:03firmly into his arms.

01:21:04When he spoke to me,

01:21:06his voice was ice cold.

01:21:07Who gave you the right

01:21:08to speak to Sophia that way?

01:21:10She knew nothing.

01:21:12None of this

01:21:12is her fault.

01:21:17Camille dropped

01:21:18her gentle act

01:21:19and her voice

01:21:19turned vicious.

01:21:20Don't you understand?

01:21:21He loves her

01:21:22so you're the one

01:21:23who doesn't belong.

01:21:24The Godfather

01:21:25approved their marriage

01:21:26and everyone supports them.

01:21:27They're the couple

01:21:28who truly love each other.

01:21:29Lorenzo stepped

01:21:30in front of Sophia

01:21:31as if afraid

01:21:31I might hurt her.

01:21:32We hid the truth

01:21:33to spare you

01:21:33the humiliation.

01:21:34Sophia is father's

01:21:35biological daughter.

01:21:36Only her marriage

01:21:37to Vincitta

01:21:37can earn father's blessing.

01:21:39Just walk away.

01:21:39I looked at Lorenzo,

01:21:40the man I'd called

01:21:41my brother for years.

01:21:42Then at my best friend,

01:21:43at the fiancé

01:21:43who'd sworn to love

01:21:44only me,

01:21:45and at Sophia,

01:21:45whose tearful eyes

01:21:46couldn't hide her triumph.

01:21:47My heart felt torn apart.

01:21:49So you convinced

01:21:50father to throw me out?

01:21:51You left me homeless

01:21:52and let people abuse me?

01:21:53Every buried grievance

01:21:54surged up at once

01:21:55and tears spilled

01:21:56down my face.

01:21:57However you dress it up,

01:21:58she's still the other woman.

01:21:59Every one of you

01:22:00deceive me.

01:22:01You're all liars.

01:22:02Before I could finish,

01:22:03Vincent slapped me

01:22:04across the face.

01:22:06My head snapped

01:22:07to the side

01:22:07and my ears rang.

01:22:09I gave you a chance,

01:22:10Alexia.

01:22:11You're the one

01:22:11who refused it.

01:22:13I warned you

01:22:13not to speak

01:22:14about Sophia that way.

01:22:15Don't test my limits.

01:22:17Before I recovered,

01:22:18Camille grabbed my arm

01:22:19and dragged me

01:22:20into a bedroom.

01:22:21Sunlight filled the room.

01:22:22Through the window,

01:22:23I could see a distant farm

01:22:24and the garden below.

01:22:25Vincent had originally chosen

01:22:27this room for me himself.

01:22:29He said I deserve the best.

01:22:30But when Camille opened the door,

01:22:32nothing inside reflected my taste.

01:22:34Pink wallpaper,

01:22:35a canopy bed draped in sheer fabric,

01:22:37a claying cloud of perfume,

01:22:39a wedding photo of Vincent and Sophia

01:22:40hung on the wall.

01:22:41Below it,

01:22:41photo Vinced and smaller pictures,

01:22:43their baby,

01:22:43and family portraits

01:22:45of all three of them,

01:22:46not a single trace of me remained.

01:22:49Face it,

01:22:50Alessia.

01:22:50Vincent and Sophia

01:22:51are in love.

01:22:52They belong together.

01:22:54He stayed

01:22:55only because you saved his life

01:22:57and he owed you.

01:22:59I shook my head.

01:23:02No!

01:23:03I don't believe you!

01:23:04Camille patted my shoulder

01:23:05with a pitying look.

01:23:06Do you really think

01:23:07Sophia met the Godfather

01:23:08only a year ago?

01:23:10They've been together

01:23:11for three years.

01:23:12He helped her find

01:23:13her biological father.

01:23:14After that,

01:23:15everyone accepted them.

01:23:16She stared into my eyes

01:23:17and delivered the cruelest blow.

01:23:19Lorenzo and I both believed

01:23:20they were the perfect match

01:23:21and throwing you out

01:23:22that was Vincent's idea.

01:23:24Once you were gone for good,

01:23:25no one could threaten

01:23:26Sophia's place in the family.

01:23:28I stared at Camille

01:23:29as if she were a stranger.

01:23:30I couldn't understand

01:23:31how my best friend,

01:23:32my sister-in-law,

01:23:33could do this.

01:23:34When she and Lorenzo

01:23:35chose to marry,

01:23:36she'd hugged me,

01:23:37laughing through tears.

01:23:38She said we'd finally be

01:23:40a real family

01:23:40and stay together forever.

01:23:42She'd even warned

01:23:43Vincenza she'd skin him alive

01:23:44if he ever hurt me.

01:23:46Yet now she helped

01:23:46another woman

01:23:47take him from me

01:23:48and she said

01:23:48I was the one

01:23:49who shouldn't exist.

01:23:51I couldn't hold back anymore.

01:23:53Tears ran down my face.

01:23:55It felt as if a knife

01:23:56had split my heart open.

01:23:57The pain was worse

01:23:58than the day I'd been shot.

01:23:59Footsteps sounded behind me.

01:24:01Vincent and Sophie

01:24:02entered the room.

01:24:03I wiped away my tears

01:24:04and took a deep breath.

01:24:05If you truly love each other,

01:24:07then I'll step aside.

01:24:08Alexa-

01:24:08Calm down,

01:24:08don't say things you'll regret.

01:24:09They spoke together,

01:24:11clearly surprised

01:24:11I would let go so easily.

01:24:13I only smiled

01:24:13and looked at Sophia.

01:24:14I was out of this game

01:24:15before it even began.

01:24:17I wish you both happiness.

01:24:21I turned and left.

01:24:23Vincent reached for me,

01:24:24but I stepped aside

01:24:25before he could grab me.

01:24:27Every betrayal,

01:24:28every lie,

01:24:30I carved them all

01:24:31into my memory.

01:24:32I would never forgive them

01:24:34and I would never forget.

01:24:36I was packing my bags

01:24:37when Vincent suddenly

01:24:38returned to our apartment.

01:24:39The moment he saw my suitcase,

01:24:41he exploded.

01:24:42Alessia, what are you doing?

01:24:43Are you moving out?

01:24:44Are you leaving me?

01:24:45I couldn't believe

01:24:46he had the nerve to ask.

01:24:47Shut up!

01:24:48I glared at him

01:24:49and slapped him hard

01:24:50across the face.

01:24:51Listen carefully, Vincent.

01:24:52You left me.

01:24:53You abandoned me.

01:24:55Should I stay

01:24:55until you throw me out yourself?

01:24:57His cheek quickly turned red.

01:24:59He pressed his tongue

01:25:00against the sore spot,

01:25:01but didn't get angry.

01:25:02Instead,

01:25:02he opened his arms

01:25:03and pulled me in an embrace.

01:25:04All right, sweetheart,

01:25:04I was wrong.

01:25:05Hit me or curse me if it helps.

01:25:06Do you feel better now?

01:25:07We've been together

01:25:07for five years.

01:25:08What we had was real.

01:25:09Can you truly let it go

01:25:10that easily?

01:25:11You nearly died saving me.

01:25:12I'll never forget that

01:25:13and I would never abandon you.

01:25:14Only then did I realize

01:25:15I'd never truly known Vincent.

01:25:18When had he become

01:25:20this shameless

01:25:20and two-faced?

01:25:22I shoved him away

01:25:23and put distance between us.

01:25:25But Vincent only smiled

01:25:27and approached me

01:25:28with open arms again.

01:25:29Sophia is the Romano family's princess.

01:25:31Marrying her

01:25:32gives me more power.

01:25:33You don't even know

01:25:34who your biological father is.

01:25:35How will you survive

01:25:36without me?

01:25:37Vincent had gazed at me

01:25:38with such tenderness

01:25:39as if he truly cared

01:25:40about my future.

01:25:41Sophia and I already

01:25:42have a child.

01:25:43My position in the family

01:25:44has never been stronger.

01:25:45Stay with me.

01:25:46I can give you everything

01:25:47except the title of wife.

01:25:48I wanted to throw up.

01:25:50Every word from his mouth

01:25:51made me sick.

01:25:52When I didn't answer,

01:25:53Vincent took my silence

01:25:54as consent.

01:25:55Smiling,

01:25:56he stroked my hair.

01:25:57Let me make it up to you.

01:25:59We'll go shopping

01:26:00and I'll buy you

01:26:00anything you want.

01:26:01Before I could respond,

01:26:03Lorenzo and Camille

01:26:04rushed through the open door.

01:26:08Lorenzo charged at me

01:26:09and slapped me to the floor.

01:26:11Camille seized my collar

01:26:12and screamed in my face.

01:26:14Alexia,

01:26:14where did you hide

01:26:15Sophia's baby?

01:26:16Sophia ran in crying

01:26:18and shook my shoulders.

01:26:19You took my baby.

01:26:20Didn't you tell me

01:26:20where he is?

01:26:21He's only one.

01:26:22He'll die without me.

01:26:23I'll give Vincent back.

01:26:25I don't want my place

01:26:25in the family either.

01:26:26I'll give you anything.

01:26:27Just return my baby.

01:26:28The smile vanished

01:26:29from Vincent's face.

01:26:31He stepped forward,

01:26:32tense.

01:26:32What do you mean

01:26:33the baby is missing?

01:26:34He disappeared

01:26:35during his nap.

01:26:36He can barely walk.

01:26:38Someone must have taken him.

01:26:41Vincent roared,

01:26:42pulled his gun

01:26:42and pressed the barrel

01:26:43hard against my forehead.

01:26:45No wonder you were

01:26:45packing to run.

01:26:46You knew what you'd done

01:26:48and planned to flee

01:26:48before we caught you.

01:26:50Tell me,

01:26:50where did you hide him?

01:26:52The cold barrel

01:26:52touched my skin

01:26:53and my blood

01:26:54seemed to freeze.

01:26:55Years ago,

01:26:56I hadn't feared

01:26:56being outnumbered

01:26:57in a gunfight.

01:26:58I hadn't been afraid

01:26:59when I took a bullet

01:26:59for Vincent.

01:27:00But now,

01:27:01I was truly terrified.

01:27:03Not of dying,

01:27:04I feared I wouldn't live

01:27:05to see them kneel

01:27:06and beg for mercy.

01:27:07I didn't do anything.

01:27:09I've never even seen

01:27:10that baby.

01:27:10Sophia collapsed

01:27:11to the floor,

01:27:12sobbing so hard

01:27:13she almost vanted.

01:27:14If you want revenge,

01:27:16take it out on me!

01:27:17The baby is innocent!

01:27:19If anything happens to him,

01:27:20I can't go on living!

01:27:22Each word tightened

01:27:23Vincent's grip on the gun.

01:27:25Click.

01:27:26He chambered around.

01:27:28In another second,

01:27:30the bullet would go

01:27:30through my head.

01:27:31I really don't know.

01:27:33I had done nothing.

01:27:34How could I confess?

01:27:36Lorenzo stood nearby,

01:27:37his face cold.

01:27:38Even if you were still

01:27:38my sister,

01:27:39I couldn't cover for you.

01:27:40And you're not anymore.

01:27:41He turned to Vincent.

01:27:42Alessia won't talk.

01:27:44Teach her a lesson

01:27:44or she won't tell us anything.

01:27:46Vanessa nodded

01:27:46and lowered his gun,

01:27:48his eyes terrifyingly cold.

01:27:49Then beat her

01:27:50until she talks.

01:27:54The End

01:27:55The End

01:27:58The End

01:28:01The End

01:28:02You

Betrayed by Family, I Became a Mafia Princess❤️‍
