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