00:00On my wedding day, my fiancé's sweetheart tried ****** in a wedding dress.
00:04In my first life, Dante blamed me for Mara's death, wiped out my family, and locked me away to die.
00:10This time, I would give him what he want.
00:12At our first wedding, Mara was found dead in her wedding dress.
00:16Dante paid off her mother, buried Mara, and finished our wedding anyway.
00:20For the next five years, he played the devoted husband.
00:23Then, on the night before he was set to inherit the Romano Empire,
00:27A doctor announced I could never have children.
00:30Dante dragged me to Mara's grave.
00:32She died carrying my child.
00:34Without your family's guns and ports, I never would have married you.
00:38You don't deserve a child.
00:40Spend the rest of your life paying for theirs.
00:42Spend the rest of your life paying for Mara and our baby!
00:46Less than a year later, my father and brother were falsely accused of betraying the Romano family.
00:51They killed every Moretti they could find.
00:54When the news reached me, I coughed blood onto the floor and died alone.
00:59Then wedding music filled my ears.
01:01I opened my eyes.
01:02I was back at our wedding this time.
01:04I would save my family.
01:05And Dante would pay for every drop of Moretti blood.
01:08Tessa steadied my arm.
01:09I leaned close and whispered,
01:11Find my father and Leo.
01:13Bring them here.
01:14Tessa's eyes sharpened.
01:15She disappeared into the crown.
01:17Every powerful family in the city had come to watch us marry.
01:20Armed guards stood at every entrance.
01:22The officiant opened his book.
01:24Before he could begin the vows, a maid burst through the doors.
01:28Dante!
01:29It's Mara!
01:30She put on a wedding dress and tried to hang herself!
01:34Why would she do that?
01:36I told her I'd take care of her after the wedding.
01:39He stopped.
01:40Every family head had heard him.
01:42After the wedding?
01:44So he already promised another woman a place?
01:47I need to see her.
01:49We'll finish the ceremony when I return.
01:52I'll come with you.
01:53His shoulders relaxed.
01:54Then I raised my voice so the family heads could hear.
01:58This happened during our wedding.
01:59They deserve to know the truth.
02:02What truth?
02:03You promised her a place before you even married me.
02:06What kind of place, Dante?
02:09That's between Mara and me.
02:10Not when I'm the bride.
02:12The room went quiet.
02:14Please come with us.
02:16I don't want anyone saying I hid this.
02:18Dante led me to Mara's room.
02:19Several family heads followed, whispering behind us.
02:23This is insane.
02:24Inside, Mara stood beneath a severed rope in a white wedding dress.
02:27The moment Dante entered, she threw herself into his arms.
02:31I knew I could never be your wife.
02:34I only wanted to wear a wedding dress and pretend I was your bride.
02:38Just once.
02:41How could you do this?
02:43If you died, you would have taken me with you.
02:46You should have trusted me.
02:48I would have protected you.
02:50You knew she wanted to marry you?
02:52Dante said nothing.
02:54Mara took Dante's hand and laid it over her lower abdomen.
02:58I'm two months pregnant with your child.
03:00My child?
03:01Are you sure?
03:03We're going to have a baby.
03:04Dante covered Mara's stomach with one hand.
03:07Whispers spread.
03:08He got the nanny's daughter pregnant before his wedding?
03:10She waited until today to reveal it?
03:12That was no accident.
03:13You said Mara was just a childhood friend.
03:15Now she's carrying your child?
03:18Mara and I grew up together.
03:21She's the woman I love.
03:23You slept with her and still expected me to marry you?
03:28This isn't Dante's fault.
03:30He was drunk.
03:31He thought I was you.
03:33That's the only reason it happened.
03:37Dante and I were never alone.
03:38He knew exactly who you were.
03:40You slept with him.
03:42Don't use my name as your excuse.
03:46Mara wasn't born into power.
03:48That doesn't make her less than you.
03:50Without your father's guns, my family never would have chose you.
03:53Mara and the baby stay.
03:54The child takes my name.
03:55You'll accept them.
03:57Our families arranged this marriage.
04:00If Mara was always your choice, you should have ended it before today.
04:05Instead, you wanted my family's power and Mara in your bed.
04:09You knew for weeks.
04:10Why wait until our wedding?
04:12I heard you got rid of every woman who carried Dante's child.
04:16I was afraid you'd come after my baby.
04:18You threatened my unborn child?
04:20Dante, you believe that?
04:21Which maid?
04:22Mine just arrived.
04:23Name her.
04:24Bring her here.
04:25I may have heard wrong.
04:26Then Mara's mother, the nanny who had raised Dante, rushed in and fell to her knees.
04:31I raised Dante like my own son.
04:32Please let Mara and the baby stay.
04:34Boss Romano will kill her if he finds out.
04:39She raised me.
04:40Mara's carrying my child.
04:42If you can't accept them, the wedding is off.
04:44In my last life, I gave in.
04:46I could never forget the blood my family shed for me.
04:49This time, I pulled off my engagement ring.
04:51You love each other so much.
04:53Who am I to stand between you?
04:55We haven't exchanged vows.
04:57We're not married.
05:00Mara is already dressed as a bride.
05:02Let her finish the wedding.
05:03Congratulations, you have your bride and your baby.
05:05The wedding is over.
05:07So is our alliance.
05:08The room erupted.
05:10She is really ending the alliance?
05:11Dante brought a pregnant mistress into his own wedding!
05:14What did he expect?
05:16Dante stared at me in disbelief.
05:18You can't end our alliance because you're jealous.
05:21Dante, go back to the chapel.
05:23Don't let your father turn against you because of me.
05:26You still worry about me after everything.
05:28I won't abandon you.
05:31Does your father know you're calling off the wedding?
05:33Are you really willing to lose my family's support?
05:35And me?
05:36You love me more than anything.
05:38Did you forget that too?
05:39Maybe Sienna never respected the Romanos.
05:41I heard she's been meeting with Lucas Valenti, your enemy.
05:44Lower the gun.
05:45You think my daughter needs Romano support?
05:47You've got it backwards.
05:48The Romanos have survived this long because the Moretti allowed it.
05:52Point a gun at my daughter again, and there won't be a Roman heir left to inherit anything.
05:58Dante slowly lowered his gun.
06:00The Moretti's protected your streets.
06:02I can only imagine what you'd do after them.
06:04Your heir got another woman pregnant and exposed it at his own wedding.
06:08No alliance is worth my daughter's familiation.
06:10Take Sienna home.
06:12Pull every Moretti guard, vehicle, and shipment from this estate.
06:15Nothing stays behind.
06:16Dante's face darkened.
06:18My father approved this marriage.
06:20You can't walk away from it.
06:23My father smiled without warmth.
06:25Watch me.
06:26I'll speak to your father tomorrow.
06:29Tonight I'm taking my daughter home.
06:31I threw myself into my father's arms.
06:34Dad, take me home.
06:35I miss Mom.
06:37If you leave today, don't expect me to take you back.
06:40Don't worry.
06:41I'll never set foot in this house again.
06:43My poor girl.
06:45My mother met me at the door with tears in her eyes.
06:48You never should have been treated like that.
06:50Forget Dante.
06:51We'll find you someone better.
06:53A man with a pregnant mistress isn't worth marrying.
06:56I finally smiled.
06:58Everyone I had lost was alive.
06:59Mom, I'm home.
07:01Relatives who had gathered for the wedding surrounded me.
07:04This time, I would protect them.
07:06Father gently stroked my head.
07:08The Romanos will answer for what they did.
07:12Dante threw away the Morettis for a nanny's daughter.
07:14She thought one pregnancy would force Sienna to accept her.
07:18The Romanos have other heirs.
07:20Drag her outside.
07:22Guards pulled Mara from Dante's room.
07:24I'm carrying Dante's first child.
07:26I'll be his wife.
07:27Alana's housekeeper forced her onto the gravel.
07:29You ruined his wedding.
07:30Kneel.
07:32Spend the night in a cell.
07:34That's the nanny's daughter?
07:35She thought a baby made her untouchable.
07:38If the Morettis end the alliance, Helena will destroy her.
07:41Under the burning sun, Mara finally stopped fighting.
07:44She stared toward the gates.
07:45She was still waiting for Dante to save her.
07:48The next morning, my father and Leo met Boss Romano to cancel the marriage.
07:53Do you agree to end it?
07:55Dante stood beside his father, looking more offended than ashamed.
07:58Sienna can't accept Mara or my child.
08:01She's too jealous to stand beside me.
08:03Leo's fists tightened.
08:05You humiliated both families before the vows were complete.
08:10Women line up to marry the Romano heir.
08:12If Sienna doesn't want the position, cancel it.
08:15My father placed the unsigned marriage papers on the table.
08:18The Morelli guards, ports, and shipments leave with this marriage.
08:21Once this alliance ends, all of that goes with it.
08:23They need us as much as we need them.
08:26Sienna will come back when she calms down.
08:27My father signed the cancellation first.
08:30Dod boss Romano signed after him.
08:32The marriage was officially over.
08:34The moment Dante left the room, an aide told him Mara was being punished.
08:40He found Mara in her room, pale and trembling, and carried her inside.
08:46Mara is carrying my first child.
08:48She deserves protection.
08:50One unborn child is not worth losing the Morettis.
08:54If I can't protect the woman I love, what kind of heir am I?
08:57Helena stared at him as if seeing a stranger.
08:59Then live with your choice.
09:00Several weeks later, Helena invited the Morettis to a formal reception,
09:04hoping to repair the broken business ties.
09:06My father refused to enter Romano territory again.
09:09I went in his place.
09:11With Tessa and a full security detail,
09:13the Valentis had arrived from overseas to discuss shipping routes and weapons business.
09:18Their heir, Lucas Valoni, was Dante's greatest rival.
09:21His sister Bianca led the guests toward the garden terrace beside the pool.
09:25Mara was already seated there with several attendants.
09:28What a shame Dante isn't here.
09:30You might have enjoyed seeing him again.
09:33I heard you still haven't found another man.
09:37Helena is choosing his new wife now.
09:39By the time you regret leaving, it'll be too late.
09:43You sound very informed for someone who still has no place in this family.
09:46One of the women laughed.
09:48Helena seems very fond of Bianca.
09:51Perhaps Dante's next bride is already here.
09:53He can marry whoever the family wants.
09:55She'll only be decoration.
09:57Dante loves me.
09:58Every woman who enters this house will answer to me.
10:00Bianca lowered herself into the chair beside us.
10:03A riding crop rested across her knees.
10:05Lucas remained a few steps behind her, silently watching.
10:09And who exactly are you?
10:11She's the nanny's daughter who stopped Dante's wedding.
10:13He protects her, so most people avoid offending her.
10:17A servant's daughter?
10:19You're sitting in a Valenti seat.
10:21Stand up.
10:23Dante loves me.
10:24I don't move for anyone.
10:26Bianca's expression hardened.
10:28Remove her from my seat.
10:30Two Vianti guards seized Mara and forced her to her feet.
10:32She fought them, screaming Dante's name.
10:34Touch me and he'll have you killed!
10:36I'm carrying his child!
10:37Carrying Dante's child doesn't make you a Romano.
10:40Dante isn't here.
10:41His name won't save you.
10:43Someone should have taught you that before today.
10:45When Mara kept struggling, Bianca ordered the guards to slap her.
10:49Mara stared around, unable to understand why Dante's name no longer protected her.
10:54I grabbed Mara before she could strike again and shoved her away from Bianca.
10:59Mara stumbled toward the pool.
11:01I reached for her, but she caught my wrist and dragged me in with her.
11:05Guests screamed as we hit the water.
11:07I could swim.
11:08Mara could not.
11:10She wrapped both arms around me and pulled us under.
11:13My lungs burnt.
11:14Just before I blacked out, someone tore her away.
11:17Lucas broke through the surface, pushed Mara toward the edge, then caught me around the waist.
11:22He carried me back onto the terrace.
11:25Give Sienna your jacket.
11:26She saved me.
11:28Lucas wrapped his coat around my shoulders and supported me, while the doctor checked my breathing.
11:34I coughed up water and finally drew a full breath.
11:37Dante rushed into the garden.
11:39The moment Mara saw him, she stumbled into his arms.
11:43Sienna told Bianca to attack me.
11:46Then she pushed me into the pool.
11:47She tried to kill our baby.
11:49Helena arrived with her guards.
11:51Mara dropped to her knees before her.
11:54She tried to murder Dante's child!
11:56You have to punish her!
11:58I stood with Lucas' coat around my shoulders.
12:02Everyone saw you drag me into the pool.
12:04Do you really want to keep lying?
12:06Mara attacked me.
12:08Sienna saved me.
12:09She pulled the cloth aside.
12:12That's one side of the story.
12:14Mara has always been timid.
12:16You chose to leave me.
12:17If you regret it, blame yourself.
12:19Don't use the valentize to punish Mara.
12:22Even with witnesses everywhere, he still chose the story that protected her.
12:26My face is bleeding, and you're still defending her?
12:29Dante avoided her eyes.
12:31Are you calling my sister a liar?
12:33This is business now, Dante.
12:35Choose your next words carefully.
12:37You're her brother.
12:38Of course you'd defend her.
12:39Lucas lowered the cloth from Bianca's cheek.
12:42You think she did this to herself to frame a servant?
12:45Dante's jaw tightened.
12:46They saw everything.
12:48Lucas pointed toward two senior guests near the terrace doors.
12:51Ask them.
12:52A Romano advisor stepped forward first.
12:55I saw Mara attack Bianca.
12:57And I saw her drag Sienna into the pool.
13:00She lied the moment Dante arrived.
13:03Dante's expression changed.
13:05Your woman attacked my sister under your roof.
13:08Should the valenties consider that a declaration of war?
13:11Dante turned and slapped Mara across the face.
13:14You lied.
13:15Apologize.
13:16Now.
13:17You hit me?
13:18For them?
13:19If my father hears you nearly started a war, he'll have you killed.
13:22Then he hurried toward Lucas.
13:24Mara lost control.
13:26The Romano's will give Bianca an answer.
13:28For the first time since the wedding, his attention left Mara completely.
13:32His inheritance was in danger.
13:34Suddenly, love could wait.
13:35I leaned close to Mara.
13:37Lucas came here to negotiate with the Romano's.
13:39Did you really think Dante would risk his inheritance for you?
13:42Mara snapped and shoved me.
13:44Lucas caught me around the waist before I fell into the pool.
13:47He placed himself between me and Mara.
13:49Touch her again.
13:51And I'll handle you myself.
13:52Mara pointed at Lucas, her eyes wild.
13:55Why are you defending her?
13:57She only wants you because she lost Dante.
13:59She's using you to make him jealous.
14:01I cut her off.
14:02Not every woman is as desperate as you.
14:04I will never marry Dante.
14:06I looked at the hand she kept wrapped around his arm.
14:10Stop guarding him like stolen property.
14:12Mara clutched her stomach.
14:14You're lying.
14:15You want him to beg, then you'll run back.
14:18Bianca's riding case cracked against the floor beside Mara.
14:21You talk too much.
14:22She turned to Dante.
14:23She attacked me under your roof.
14:25She lied to your face.
14:27And you still haven't punished her?
14:29Dante stepped between them.
14:30Mara's pregnant.
14:31She motioned to her guards.
14:33That didn't stop her from attacking me.
14:34You started this.
14:35Now face the price.
14:36Dante moved forward again.
14:38Helena blocked his path.
14:39Choose carefully.
14:41Protect her again.
14:42And the Valentus walk.
14:43Two guards forced Mara across a bench.
14:46Another uncoiled the whip.
14:47Just as the whip was about to strike Mara, Dante grabbed it.
14:50Mara wasn't hurt, but she was so terrified that she collapsed to the floor.
14:55Dante immediately dropped to one knee beside her, checking to make sure she was okay.
14:59Helena watched him closely.
15:01She has to pay for what she did.
15:03Don't think passing out will get her out of her punishment.
15:05Continue.
15:06By the 20th lash, Dante could no longer stand still.
15:09He kicked the guard aside.
15:11Bianca stepped forward, but Lucas stopped her.
15:13The Volante negotiations are over.
15:15My father will hear exactly why.
15:17Come near me again, and I'll finish this myself.
15:20Then she left with Lucas and the Valenti guards.
15:23The remaining guests followed.
15:24In minutes, the terrace was empty.
15:27Mara was carried inside.
15:28Dante remained silent while Helena stared at him with disgust.
15:31If you still want to inherit this family, you will obey me from now on.
15:34That night, the doctor confirmed Mara's stomach hurt a lot.
15:37She cried for hours.
15:38No one came, not even Dante.
15:39Before dawn, his aide entered her room with armed guards.
15:42Get dressed.
15:42You and your mother are-
15:43Mara stared at the armed guards.
15:46Leaving?
15:47Dante would never send me away.
15:49The aide placed a document on the bed.
15:51The family will report that you died from your injuries.
15:53You and your mother are leaving tonight.
15:55Refuse, and we'll make the report true.
15:57Mara went pale.
15:58What about Dante?
15:59He promised me a place here.
16:01When the time is right, he'll bring you back.
16:03The aide softened his voice just enough to keep her obedient.
16:07Mara believed him, because she needed the lie more than the truth.
16:11She and her mother were moved to a small house outside the city.
16:14Days became weeks.
16:16Dante never came.
16:18Mara waited by the window every morning.
16:20She kept the wedding ring I had given her beside the door.
16:23Then one afternoon, wedding music reached the house.
16:26Mara rushed outside.
16:28Dante rode in the lead car.
16:30Behind him came Helena's chosen bride, Camille DeLuca, the daughter of another powerful family.
16:34Crowds filled the streets.
16:35Dante!
16:36It's me!
16:37I'm the woman you love!
16:39The engines drowned her out.
16:40She ran after the procession toward the Romano estate.
16:43Mara followed the convoy all the way to the Romano gates.
16:46Two guards crossed their weapons in front of her.
16:49I'm Mara.
16:50Dante promised me a place here.
16:51You know me.
16:53Dante has no mistress named Mara.
16:55Leave.
16:56The gates closed in her face.
16:57Dot Mara returned to the small house in shock.
17:00Dante's aide was waiting with a representative from Camille's family.
17:04Take the money and leave the city.
17:05Or take the bottle.
17:06A suitcase of cash sat on the table beside a small vial of mysterious potion.
17:11Those are your choices.
17:12Mara collapsed.
17:14He loves me.
17:15He said he would come back.
17:17Dante wants the Romano empire.
17:19Love mattered only while it cost him nothing.
17:21Mara asked whether the new bride was me.
17:23Sienna's engaged to Lucas Valenti.
17:25She'll become the future matriarch of a family stronger than the Romanos.
17:29I gave him everything and he still chose power.
17:32She lifted the bottle.
17:33He loved me.
17:34No.
17:34He loved you when you were cheap.
17:36Mara drank the potion.
17:37Over the next few months, the Morettis and Valentis built a new alliance.
17:41Lucas visited often.
17:43He asked for my opinion in every meeting and never made a decision for me.
17:48But he wanted to discuss Bianca's injury.
17:50Instead, he placed a ring on the table.
17:52I first came because of what happened to my sister.
17:55I kept coming because of Sienna.
17:56I want to marry you.
17:58The room went silent.
17:59My father looked at the ring, then at Lucas.
18:01And if Sienna refuses, I'll respect her answer.
18:05In my first life, my marriage had been decided by family interests.
18:08What do you want?
18:09Lucas held out his hand.
18:10I won't ask you to forget what happened.
18:12I only ask that you choose for yourself.
18:14This time, the choice was mine.
18:16I accept.
18:17My father nodded.
18:19Leo shook Lucas' hand, then gave him a hard look.
18:22Take care of her.
18:23Lucas glanced at me and smiled.
18:25I intend to.
18:26Several months later, the Valentis held our engagement celebration.
18:30Boss Valenti asked everyone for silence.
18:33From today on, Lucas will be my successor.
18:37The room broke into applause.
18:39Lucas had always been expected to inherit the family.
18:43Now it was official.
18:44By the end of the year, Lucas and I married.
18:46Both families attended.
18:47There was no interruption.
18:49No hidden woman.
18:50No demand that I accept public humiliation.
18:52The ceremony was simple.
18:54Lucas stood beside me and never looked away.
18:56Are you sure?
19:00Yes.
19:02We signed the papers and exchanged rings.
19:05When Lucas kissed me, the room erupted in applause.
19:08For the first time, marriage did not really change.
19:12It felt like a choice I had made for myself.
19:15After the wedding, Lucas took me home with him.
19:17You want this?
19:19Yes, please.
19:20He respected my family, my decisions, and every boundary I set.
19:24And at the same time, I also accorded him equal respect.
19:29Our marriage grew warmer with time.
19:31Dante had once believed his name was the best future any woman could have.
19:36He was wrong.
19:37I had not traded one powerful man for another.
19:40I had chosen a husband who treated me as an equal.
19:43Two years later, Lucas and I welcomed a son.
19:46Our marriage was peaceful.
19:48And both families were stronger than ever.
19:50One afternoon, Leo came with news from the Romano estate.
19:55Boss Romano had called Dante before the family's senior members.
19:59You lost the Moretti alliance.
20:01You destroyed the Velotti negotiations.
20:05Mara threatened this family.
20:07You protected her.
20:09Dante stared at him in disbelief.
20:11Boss Romano continued.
20:13You have made one reckless decision after another.
20:17You are no longer my successor.
20:20Then he called forward Dante's younger brother.
20:23Theo had always been overlooked.
20:26Now he stood where Dante once had.
20:28Theo will succeed me.
20:30No one in the room objected.
20:32When Leo finished, I felt nothing.
20:35Dante had chosen every step that led him there.
20:38He chose Mara over me.
20:41Then he chose power over Mara.
20:44In the end, he lost both.
20:47Lucas took our son from my arms and kissed my forehead.
20:51Are you alright?
20:52Yes.
20:53The past no longer had the power to hurt me.
20:56Dance fall was not my victory.
20:58My family being alive was.
21:00The life in front of me was.
21:02That evening, I stood on the terrace with my son in my arms.
21:05Beyond the house, the sky stretched toward the city where I had grown up.
21:09Lucas joined me and rested one hand at my waist.
21:13In my first life, I died believing I had failed everyone I loved.
21:18Now my father, my mother Leo and Tessa were alive.
21:21My family was safe.
21:23Mara chose Dante and learned that his love ended where his ambition began.
21:27Dante chose power and lost both the woman and the position he wanted.
21:32I did not destroy either of them.
21:34I simply walked away and let their choices catch up with them.
21:39Our son reached toward the distant lights.
21:42That's where your mother grew up.
21:45Your grandfather and uncle are waiting for us there.
21:49Lucas looked at me.
21:51Ready to go home?
21:52I smiled.
21:54Yes.
21:55It's time.
21:57He took our son while I leaned against him.
21:59This time, I was not going home as the woman Dante had discarded.
22:03I was going home with the husband I chose and the child we loved.
22:07My family was waiting.
22:09And no one could take that future from me.
