00:01:30One night, his stomach acted up, and I knelt by the couch.

00:01:32He took my hand and told me not to worry.

00:01:35It was the first time he'd touched me, since we got married.

00:01:40Later, he started remembering my birthday.

00:01:42He once shielded me with his coat in a downpour.

00:01:45If I got sick, cut family council meetings short,

00:01:48and another time sat by my bed changing cold towels all night.

00:01:52I knew I was only Isabella's stand-in, but somewhere in those ordinary days, I fell for him.

00:01:57I even thought about giving up the money after the three years were up,

00:02:00and telling Dante who I really was.

00:02:04Then, three months ago, Lucia came back to Sicily, Dante's old love, the one he never forgot.

00:02:09She stood in the rain in a thin white dress, and just like that, she had all his attention.

00:02:15Lucia's not feeling well. I'm not coming tonight.

00:02:18After that, he kept missing every important moment in my life, because of Lucia.

00:02:26One more month, your sister will be back.

00:02:28Keep playing her for one more month.

00:02:29Don't let Dante suspect a thing.

00:02:31Once the identities are switched back, I'll give you the 4.2 million.

00:02:34Then you can live however you want.

00:02:36I'd waited three years for this deal to end.

00:02:37Now there were only 30 days left.

00:02:39What hurt wasn't giving Isabella back her place as Mrs. Moretti.

00:02:42It was that I'd actually wanted to stay.

00:02:49After I read his message, I took off the wedding ring I'd worn for three years,

00:02:52and left it in front of Dante's untouched plate.

00:02:54Then I circled the day Isabella would return, and wrote,

00:02:5730 days until freedom.

00:02:58I really did fall for Dante.

00:03:00But after that night, all I wanted from him was money and freedom.

00:03:06Dante finally remembered me.

00:03:08I thought he'd at least remember what today was.

00:03:11But when I answered, he didn't even wish me a happy anniversary.

00:03:14Get some pads to Nightfall Club in 20 minutes.

00:03:16Overnight ones.

00:03:18It's at least 40 minutes from the estate to the club.

00:03:20Lucia's in too much pain.

00:03:21She can't wait that long.

00:03:24Dante knew exactly how far it was, and still gave me 20 minutes.

00:03:28He knew I'd find a way, no matter how unreasonable the demand.

00:03:31I gave in again.

00:03:32The real Isabella would be back in 30 days.

00:03:34Until then, I still had to play the wife who loved Dante, and never said no.

00:03:39We were barely halfway there when traffic completely locked up.

00:03:42I checked the time.

00:03:43Dante's deadline was in 12 minutes.

00:03:45I kicked off my heels, grabbed the pads Lucia needed,

00:03:48and ran through the flooded street to the club.

00:03:50Rain soaked the red dress Dante once praised,

00:03:53but I couldn't feel the cold anymore.

00:03:54At the intersection, I remembered a year ago,

00:03:56in a storm just like this.

00:03:58Dante had covered me with his coat.

00:04:00Slow down.

00:04:01I'm not leaving you here.

00:04:03I used to think he really wouldn't leave me behind.

00:04:07When the bag went flying, I didn't even care that my knee was bleeding.

00:04:10I just didn't want the things inside getting wet,

00:04:12and making Lucia wait one minute longer.

00:04:15By the time I got to the club,

00:04:17there was less than a minute left on the countdown.

00:04:19I was about to knock,

00:04:20when I heard them laughing at me.

00:04:22Dante, you really made Isabella bring that herself in this storm?

00:04:25Lucia's in a lot of pain.

00:04:26She'd find a way here.

00:04:27Fair enough.

00:04:28Everyone in Sicily knows Isabella's crazy about you.

00:04:31They all knew I loved Dante,

00:04:32so no one thought it was cruel.

00:04:34To them, of course, I'd run through the rain for his old flair.

00:04:37Seriously?

00:04:38Three years with a wife that pretty and obedient,

00:04:41and you never felt a thing?

00:04:43If it's Lucia or her,

00:04:44I choose Lucia.

00:04:47If I'd heard that three months ago,

00:04:49I probably would have been up all night over it.

00:04:50But in that moment, I was relieved.

00:04:52I didn't have to wonder anymore.

00:04:54This marriage had 29 days left.

00:04:55I opened the door,

00:04:56and everyone turned to look at me.

00:04:58She actually made it in 20 minutes.

00:05:00What happened to you?

00:05:01I didn't want you to worry,

00:05:02so I ran from the traffic jam.

00:05:03He looked at my wound and frowned.

00:05:05For a second,

00:05:06I thought I saw concern in his eyes.

00:05:08He draped his jacket over my shoulders,

00:05:09and reached for my knee.

00:05:11Dante, my stomach hurts so bad!

00:05:12Dante's hand stopped mid-air,

00:05:14then pointed toward the bathroom.

00:05:15Take it into Lucia first.

00:05:16Lucia called his name one,

00:05:17and that trace of tenderness left me again.

00:05:19I only meant to drop it off and leave.

00:05:22But Lucia clearly wasn't going to let me off that easily.

00:05:25On our third anniversary,

00:05:26he'd rather stay with me

00:05:28and send you out in the rain to bring me pads.

00:05:30The second Dante was out of sight,

00:05:32Lucia dropped the helpless act.

00:05:34Her voice turned sharp,

00:05:35openly taunting.

00:05:37We've been apart three years,

00:05:38and Dante still remembers my period.

00:05:41Does he remember yours?

00:05:43You live with him every day.

00:05:44Isabella,

00:05:45taking something doesn't make it yours.

00:05:47Dante chooses me,

00:05:49every time.

00:05:50She was right.

00:05:51What she didn't know was,

00:05:52I wasn't going to fight her anymore.

00:05:54Dante's choice used to matter most to me.

00:05:57But in 29 days,

00:05:58whoever he chooses won't matter to me at all.

00:06:04Lucia asked me who Dante would believe

00:06:06if she said I hurt her.

00:06:08I thought she was just baiting me.

00:06:10Then on the terrace,

00:06:11she grabbed the railing,

00:06:13clutched her stomach,

00:06:14and called for help.

00:06:15I had 29 days left.

00:06:16I couldn't risk trouble,

00:06:18so I limped over.

00:06:20She didn't fall right away.

00:06:21First,

00:06:22she looked at the sweet window.

00:06:23Once she saw Dante coming,

00:06:25she smiled at me,

00:06:26just for me.

00:06:27Isabella,

00:06:27don't push me!

00:06:30Dante took one look at me

00:06:31and decided he had the answer.

00:06:32Then a scream came from below.

00:06:34He didn't even ask what happened.

00:06:36He shoved past me

00:06:37and ran downstairs.

00:06:38I chased after him,

00:06:40holding the banister

00:06:41and my knees screaming.

00:06:42It all happened so fast.

00:06:44I was still clutching

00:06:45the piece of her sleeve

00:06:46I couldn't hold on to.

00:06:48Don't touch her!

00:06:49I didn't even get to explain

00:06:50before I slammed

00:06:51into a stone pillar.

00:06:52Glass dug into my injured knee

00:06:54and the pain stole my voice.

00:06:56Blood soaked through my dress.

00:06:57When I looked up,

00:06:58Dante was already

00:06:59carrying Lucia away.

00:07:00He never looked back.

00:07:02At the hospital,

00:07:03the doctors rushed

00:07:04to treat Lucia's forehead

00:07:05and wrist.

00:07:06No one noticed my knee

00:07:07was cut open too,

00:07:08blood soaking into my shoe.

00:07:10Lucia was in bed

00:07:11and Dante had already

00:07:12tucked her in.

00:07:14The way he stayed

00:07:15by Lucia's bed

00:07:16took me back to myself

00:07:17two years ago.

00:07:19If it hurts,

00:07:20say it.

00:07:21You don't have to

00:07:22tough it out with me.

00:07:23It was the first time

00:07:24anyone told me

00:07:25I could say I was in pain.

00:07:26That was the day

00:07:27I forgot.

00:07:28This was only a deal.

00:07:30And now he was using

00:07:32that same gentle voice

00:07:33on Lucia.

00:07:34Don't be scared.

00:07:35I'm here.

00:07:36No one will hurt you.

00:07:37Standing there,

00:07:38I remembered how it started.

00:07:40He bandaged my wound

00:07:41and told me

00:07:42I could say when it hurt.

00:07:43That's when I started

00:07:44believing I had someone

00:07:45to lean on.

00:07:46Lucia looked up,

00:07:47like she'd just noticed

00:07:48I was there.

00:07:49She glanced at me,

00:07:50then clutched Dante's shirt

00:07:51and shrank into him.

00:07:52Dante,

00:07:54I don't want to see her.

00:07:57Apologize.

00:07:57Lucia,

00:07:58did I really push you

00:07:58off that terrace?

00:07:59I wasn't going to let her

00:08:00pin this on me,

00:08:01but Lucia wouldn't meet my eyes.

00:08:03Tears ran down her face.

00:08:05If you don't want to apologize,

00:08:06fine.

00:08:07Dante's been with me

00:08:08this whole time.

00:08:09If you resent me,

00:08:10I understand.

00:08:11She never said I pushed her.

00:08:12She just gave them a reason

00:08:14to believe I did.

00:08:14I looked at Dante

00:08:16waiting for one question.

00:08:17He just stood up,

00:08:18face darkening.

00:08:21Isabella,

00:08:22was I too good to you?

00:08:23Is that why you forgot

00:08:24who you are?

00:08:25His fingers were pressing

00:08:26into my wound.

00:08:27I went pale from the pain,

00:08:29but I didn't say a word.

00:08:30I just gripped my skirt.

00:08:32The man who once told me

00:08:33I didn't have to endure it

00:08:34was forcing me to confess.

00:08:36This marriage is just

00:08:37a family arrangement.

00:08:38There are no feelings here.

00:08:40The love you want from me,

00:08:42you'll never have.

00:08:43I used to think

00:08:44some of his tenderness

00:08:45had been real,

00:08:46but when Dante stepped

00:08:47in front of his old plate

00:08:48and cut me down

00:08:49with cold words,

00:08:50I understood.

00:08:51He always knew

00:08:52how to make me give up.

00:08:53I'm sorry.

00:08:54I was wrong.

00:08:55Dante didn't expect me

00:08:56to give in so easily.

00:08:58I wasn't admitting

00:08:59I pushed her.

00:08:59I was saying goodbye

00:09:00to the part of me

00:09:01that loved him

00:09:02and kept making excuses

00:09:03for him.

00:09:0429 days left.

00:09:08After Lucia was discharged,

00:09:10Dante took her

00:09:11to the family's lake house

00:09:12to recover.

00:09:12The next day,

00:09:13their embrace was

00:09:14all over the press

00:09:15in Sicily,

00:09:16and I,

00:09:16his wife in name only,

00:09:18became a joke

00:09:19across all of Sicily.

00:09:20Call Dante back

00:09:21or take the family punishment.

00:09:23One call,

00:09:23and Dante would have

00:09:24to come back

00:09:25for this scandal.

00:09:26He might confess

00:09:26everything for Lucia.

00:09:28With 28 days left

00:09:29on the deal,

00:09:29I couldn't risk it.

00:09:30I'll take the family punishment.

00:09:32The whip struck my back,

00:09:33and I bit down hard

00:09:34to keep from crying out.

00:09:35I remembered how,

00:09:36right after we married,

00:09:38Dante had protected me

00:09:39in front of everyone.

00:09:39She's my wife.

00:09:41None of you get

00:09:41to punish her.

00:09:43But now,

00:09:44while the whip

00:09:45kept falling on my back,

00:09:46he was at the lake house

00:09:47tending the fire

00:09:48for Lucia.

00:09:49They beat me unconscious.

00:09:51By the time I woke up,

00:09:52I was already

00:09:53in the hospital.

00:09:53Dante finally came back

00:09:55and saw the bandages

00:09:55on my back.

00:09:56That's when he realized

00:09:57the family had punished me.

00:09:59My mother gave you trouble.

00:10:01Why didn't you call me?

00:10:02I didn't want to interrupt

00:10:03your date with Lucia.

00:10:04He stared at me

00:10:05for a long time.

00:10:06He probably mistook

00:10:07my silence for love again.

00:10:09He thought I'd rather

00:10:10take the lashes

00:10:10than ruin his time

00:10:11with Lucia.

00:10:12He didn't know

00:10:13I'd already stopped

00:10:13hoping for his love.

00:10:14I just didn't want anything

00:10:15to go wrong

00:10:16in the last 28 days.

00:10:19Do you have any idea

00:10:20how much this outfit costs?

00:10:21Looking like that,

00:10:22can you even afford it?

00:10:26Enough.

00:10:27Then get out.

00:10:28After he sent her away,

00:10:30Dante really looked

00:10:30at my dress.

00:10:31It was worn nearly white.

00:10:33I had stitched the cuff

00:10:33myself the night before.

00:10:35The Bologna family

00:10:35and the Morecci family

00:10:36gave you nothing?

00:10:37Why are you dressed like this?

00:10:39He didn't know

00:10:39I wasn't the real

00:10:40Bologna daughter.

00:10:41In three years,

00:10:42I never touched

00:10:42the black card he gave me.

00:10:44None of it was mine.

00:10:46He bought out

00:10:47the most expensive clothes

00:10:48in the store.

00:10:49Like that could make up

00:10:50for what I'd been through.

00:10:5130 days from now,

00:10:52on the Truce anniversary,

00:10:54I'll make up

00:10:54our third anniversary celebration.

00:10:56Every major family

00:10:57in Sicily will be there.

00:10:59They'll know

00:10:59you're still Mrs. Moretti.

00:11:00He thought this was

00:11:01the reward I'd waited

00:11:02three years for.

00:11:03But to me,

00:11:04that celebration

00:11:05would only mark the end

00:11:06of this identity deal.

00:11:08Dante and I stepped out

00:11:09of the boutique side by side.

00:11:10He held the invitation

00:11:11in one hand

00:11:12and pulled my shawl

00:11:13back over my shoulders

00:11:14with the other.

00:11:15The second we stepped outside,

00:11:16I saw Lucia across the street.

00:11:18White dress,

00:11:19coffee in hand,

00:11:20staring at Dante's hand

00:11:21on my shoulder,

00:11:22then the wedding sketchbook.

00:11:23Dante saw her too.

00:11:24He pulled his hand back

00:11:25almost instantly.

00:11:26like straight tightening

00:11:27his wife's shawl

00:11:28was something Lucia

00:11:28could never see.

00:11:29Before he could speak,

00:11:30she turned and ran,

00:11:32eyes red.

00:11:32Then I heard a sharp

00:11:33crack overhead.

00:11:34I looked up

00:11:35and saw the glass facade

00:11:36above Lucia

00:11:37splitting apart.

00:11:38Lucia, look out!

00:11:42He ran past me

00:11:43toward her,

00:11:44but he was too late.

00:11:50She's hemorrhaging.

00:11:51She's RH negative

00:11:52and the blood bank

00:11:52doesn't have enough on hand.

00:11:54The second the doctor said it,

00:11:55Dante ordered his men

00:11:56to lock down every hospital

00:11:57and find blood.

00:11:58But Lucia didn't have

00:11:59that kind of time.

00:12:00I was RH negative too.

00:12:01I'm RH negative.

00:12:02Take mine.

00:12:03As they drew 400 milliliters

00:12:05from me,

00:12:05Dante stayed right beside me.

00:12:07The look in his eyes

00:12:08kept shifting.

00:12:09He probably thought

00:12:09I was saving Lucia

00:12:10because I loved him that much.

00:12:12That's 400 milliliters.

00:12:14We can't take any more.

00:12:16Isabella,

00:12:17do you love me that much?

00:12:19Dante looked at me

00:12:19with something heavy

00:12:20in his eyes.

00:12:21He probably thought

00:12:22I loved him enough

00:12:22to bleed myself dry

00:12:23just to save the woman he loved.

00:12:25But I was the only one

00:12:26who knew Lucia couldn't die.

00:12:27If anything happened to her,

00:12:29both the Moretti

00:12:30and Beleggi families

00:12:30would dig in tonight.

00:12:31And my stand-in bride secret

00:12:33could come out early.

00:12:34Lucia was in a coma

00:12:35for three weeks.

00:12:36Dante stayed at the hospital

00:12:38and I never left her side.

00:12:39Everyone said

00:12:40I loved Dante so desperately.

00:12:42I was even taking care

00:12:43of his lover.

00:12:43I didn't care about

00:12:44the stares or the whispers.

00:12:46I just wanted to get through

00:12:47my last few days in peace.

00:12:48Dante,

00:12:49are you in love with her?

00:12:51Don't overthink it.

00:12:52She's just my wife

00:12:53in a family marriage.

00:12:54I don't believe you.

00:12:55Prove it.

00:12:56How?

00:12:57Throw her in the lake.

00:12:59After that,

00:12:59the room went quiet.

00:13:00Dante looked at me.

00:13:01I didn't know

00:13:02if he remembered

00:13:02I'd just given Lucia blood

00:13:04or that I'd been afraid

00:13:05of the cold

00:13:05since I was a kid.

00:13:06You hesitated.

00:13:08You really did fall for her.

00:13:09Dante said nothing

00:13:10for a few seconds

00:13:11and somehow

00:13:11I still hoped he'd refuse.

00:13:13After three years,

00:13:14I never thought

00:13:14I'd have to risk my life

00:13:15to prove his love

00:13:16for another woman.

00:13:17Do what Lucia said.

00:13:22Dante?

00:13:23Just a few minutes.

00:13:24She'll be fine.

00:13:25I stopped struggling.

00:13:26My heart was already

00:13:27colder than the lake.

00:13:28He watched me

00:13:28through the hospital window.

00:13:29He remembered Lucia

00:13:30to play the pain

00:13:31but he needed to feel safe.

00:13:33But he forgot

00:13:33I'd just lost

00:13:34400 milliliters of blood.

00:13:35To him,

00:13:36I wasn't worth

00:13:36a single strand

00:13:37of Lucia's hair.

00:13:38It took me back

00:13:39to when I was five.

00:13:40The Balandi family

00:13:41threw my sickly self

00:13:42out to the countryside

00:13:43the same way.

00:13:45So many times,

00:13:46I thought I'd freeze to death.

00:13:48I never thought

00:13:49the one who'd push me

00:13:49back into the cold

00:13:50would be the husband

00:13:51I once believed

00:13:52would protect me.

00:13:53She's on her period

00:13:54and she just gave blood.

00:13:56Her temperature's

00:13:56over 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

00:13:58By the time

00:13:58they pulled me out

00:13:59I was already unconscious.

00:14:01The maid wrapped me

00:14:01in heavy blankets

00:14:02and Dante stood by the bed

00:14:04staring at what he'd done.

00:14:05I couldn't tell

00:14:06if I was still

00:14:06in that freezing lake

00:14:07or back in the winter

00:14:08of my childhood.

00:14:09Seven more days.

00:14:11Seven days

00:14:12and I can leave for good.

00:14:16He was about to walk out

00:14:17but the second

00:14:18he heard me say leave

00:14:19he stopped.

00:14:20Leave?

00:14:22What do you mean?

00:14:23For the first time

00:14:24he realized his wife

00:14:25could have a future

00:14:26without him.

00:14:30Isabella,

00:14:31where are you going?

00:14:32In seven days

00:14:33the real Isabella

00:14:34will be back

00:14:34but he can't know that yet.

00:14:36I followed his eyes

00:14:37to the suitcase

00:14:38under the bed

00:14:39then the dated calendar

00:14:40on the wall.

00:14:41That's when I turned

00:14:42the ceremony

00:14:42into the perfect excuse.

00:14:44Leaving?

00:14:45I have a fever.

00:14:46I met the ceremony

00:14:47in seven days.

00:14:49He bought it.

00:14:50In his eyes

00:14:51I'd loved him

00:14:51for three years.

00:14:52I'd never leave him.

00:14:53In seven days

00:14:55you'll be there

00:14:56on time, right?

00:14:57I keep my promises.

00:14:58I made him promise

00:14:59he'd show up

00:15:00no matter what

00:15:00happened to Lucia.

00:15:02He thought I was afraid

00:15:02of losing my husband again.

00:15:04He had no idea

00:15:05that ceremony

00:15:06was the last step

00:15:07in giving Isabella

00:15:08her life back.

00:15:09The day he held

00:15:10that ceremony for me

00:15:11was the day

00:15:12I could finally

00:15:13take my own name back.

00:15:14The day I went

00:15:15to try on dresses

00:15:16Lucia insisted

00:15:17on coming with me.

00:15:18She linked arms

00:15:19with me like nothing

00:15:20had happened

00:15:21and happily picked

00:15:22out styles for me.

00:15:23The neckline's too low.

00:15:25It doesn't suit

00:15:25Mrs. Morella.

00:15:26Too flashy?

00:15:27Dante won't like it.

00:15:28Lucia shot down

00:15:29every dress I chose.

00:15:31Before,

00:15:31I would have fought

00:15:32her on it

00:15:33trying to find

00:15:33the one Dante

00:15:34would like best.

00:15:35That was when I realized

00:15:36it didn't matter

00:15:37what I wore.

00:15:38On the day

00:15:38of the celebration,

00:15:39the woman standing

00:15:40beside Dante

00:15:41wouldn't be me.

00:15:42I left the bridal shop

00:15:43first.

00:15:43I didn't expect Lucia

00:15:44to get back

00:15:45to the estate before me.

00:15:46She told Dante

00:15:47I locked her

00:15:48in the fitting room

00:15:48on purpose

00:15:49because of her

00:15:50claustrophobia.

00:15:51By the time

00:15:51I walked in,

00:15:52she'd already

00:15:53told her version

00:15:54and Dante

00:15:54had already judged me.

00:15:58You locked Lucia

00:15:59in there?

00:15:59Don't blame her,

00:16:00Dante.

00:16:01She was just scared

00:16:02I'd take you away.

00:16:02Lucia only had

00:16:03to tremble and cry

00:16:04and my side

00:16:05became the excuse.

00:16:06Looks like the last

00:16:07lesson wasn't enough.

00:16:10Behave

00:16:10or the ceremony's off.

00:16:12In our first year

00:16:12of marriage,

00:16:13he learned I was

00:16:14afraid of the dark.

00:16:15I'll leave the light on.

00:16:16I'll be back

00:16:17before morning.

00:16:17He used to leave

00:16:18a light on for me

00:16:19all night.

00:16:20Now he was the one

00:16:20who shut me

00:16:21in the dark.

00:16:30When the darkness

00:16:31filled with skittering,

00:16:32I finally understood.

00:16:34Lucia had planned this.

00:16:35Rats poured

00:16:36from the corners,

00:16:37over my feet,

00:16:38chewing at my dress.

00:16:39I couldn't see them.

00:16:40I could only hear

00:16:41their claws getting closer.

00:16:42When I was a child,

00:16:44after my family

00:16:44dumped me in the country,

00:16:45they locked me

00:16:46in a cellar full of grain.

00:16:47Back then,

00:16:48I kept telling myself

00:16:49that once I had a husband,

00:16:51once I had a real home,

00:16:52no one would ever

00:16:53throw me into the dark again.

00:16:54Dante!

00:16:55Open the door!

00:16:56I'd already decided

00:16:57to stop loving him,

00:16:58but I still cried out

00:16:59for him all night.

00:17:00Some pathetic part of me

00:17:01still thought he'd come

00:17:02save me,

00:17:02but when my voice

00:17:03finally gave out,

00:17:03Dante still never

00:17:04opened the door.

00:17:06At dawn,

00:17:06Dante finally opened

00:17:07the door.

00:17:08Standing there in the light,

00:17:09the first thing he noticed

00:17:10wasn't my injuries.

00:17:11It was my swollen,

00:17:12tear-streaked eyes.

00:17:13It was one night.

00:17:14Why are you crying like this?

00:17:16Lucia had someone

00:17:17dump rats in here.

00:17:20Lucia would never do that.

00:17:21I screamed until

00:17:22my voice gave out.

00:17:23All I got from him

00:17:23was disbelief.

00:17:24Again,

00:17:25that was the moment

00:17:25I understood.

00:17:26It wasn't the dark

00:17:27or the rats I was afraid of.

00:17:28It was knowing Dante

00:17:29would always side with Lucia

00:17:30and condemn me first.

00:17:31Six days till the ceremony.

00:17:33I hurt Lucia again,

00:17:34and I call it off.

00:17:35He thought calling off

00:17:36the ceremony would scare me.

00:17:37What he didn't know

00:17:38was that ceremony

00:17:39was the beginning

00:17:40of me leaving him.

00:17:41Back in my room,

00:17:41I didn't treat the scratches

00:17:42on my hand.

00:17:43I opened the metal box

00:17:44hidden at the back

00:17:45of my closet.

00:17:46Inside were three years

00:17:47of moments when Dante

00:17:48and I looked happy.

00:17:49Every time he chose Lucia,

00:17:50I take them out

00:17:51and look again.

00:17:51I tell myself that

00:17:52for at least one moment,

00:17:54that tenderness was mine.

00:17:55Today, I finally admitted it.

00:17:56These folks

00:17:57prove those moments happened,

00:17:59not that he ever loved me.

00:18:00I won't use his occasional

00:18:01kindness to excuse

00:18:02all the hurt anymore.

00:18:03That night,

00:18:04Dante came home late

00:18:05like always.

00:18:05He looked at the entryway

00:18:06out of habit.

00:18:07For the first time,

00:18:08the light I left on

00:18:09for him was gone.

00:18:10For three years

00:18:10before he got home,

00:18:11I'd leave the entry light on,

00:18:12warm his leather gloves,

00:18:13and load the espresso machine

00:18:14for the next morning.

00:18:14I did it for him

00:18:15thousands of times,

00:18:16and he never once asked.

00:18:17Only when I stopped

00:18:18did he realize

00:18:18this house was never warm

00:18:19on its own.

00:18:20She didn't buy

00:18:21a single thing?

00:18:21Lately, she hasn't even

00:18:22asked about your schedule.

00:18:23It wasn't because I was

00:18:24easy bearing or because

00:18:24I didn't like expensive things.

00:18:26I was just afraid

00:18:26I'd start mistaking a life

00:18:27that wasn't mine for my own.

00:18:28For three years,

00:18:29he never really saw

00:18:30how much I'd been holding in.

00:18:31But once I decided to leave,

00:18:33he finally found the secret

00:18:34I'd hidden.

00:18:35A one-way ticket

00:18:36for the day of the ceremony.

00:18:38You were going to leave me?

00:18:43Were you planning to leave me?

00:18:45His voice was ice cold.

00:18:46Like even thinking about leaving

00:18:47was the ultimate betrayal

00:18:48of the Marati family.

00:18:49I knew if I took

00:18:50one second too long,

00:18:51he'd have the port locked down.

00:18:54It's a pair of tickets

00:18:55for after the celebration.

00:18:56I wanted to surprise you.

00:18:58I'd already prepared

00:18:58the second ticket.

00:18:59I knew he wouldn't look closely.

00:19:01He trusted I loved him

00:19:02too much to leave,

00:19:03that a woman who'd waited

00:19:03three years would never

00:19:04really walk away.

00:19:05Don't hide things

00:19:06like this again.

00:19:07They give the wrong idea.

00:19:08He didn't notice.

00:19:09The real ticket,

00:19:10under the name Elena Bellini,

00:19:11was still hidden

00:19:11at the bottom of my suitcase.

00:19:12For the next few days,

00:19:13I kept playing the wife

00:19:14who could control her husband.

00:19:15Then,

00:19:16the night before the ceremony,

00:19:18the real Isabella

00:19:18finally came back

00:19:19through the secret passage

00:19:20the Bellondi family had prepared.

00:19:22After three years,

00:19:22I finally came face to face

00:19:24with the real Isabella.

00:19:25Dante's allergic to milk.

00:19:26He only drinks double espresso.

00:19:28His stomach meds

00:19:28are in the second drawer

00:19:29on the left in the study.

00:19:30The family list is in the safe

00:19:31behind the fireplace.

00:19:32Why do I need all this?

00:19:33I'm not going there

00:19:34to be his maid.

00:19:35She barely skimmed a few pages

00:19:36before losing patience.

00:19:38To her,

00:19:38getting up early for his coffee,

00:19:40warming his gloves,

00:19:41and remembering his stomach meds

00:19:42was maid's work.

00:19:43Isabella's words still stung.

00:19:45She'd been pampered

00:19:45her whole life.

00:19:46She never had to do any of it.

00:19:47We had the same face.

00:19:48But we were never

00:19:49the same person.

00:19:50But after tomorrow,

00:19:51Dante's habits,

00:19:52the Moretti family's secrets,

00:19:53and this marriage

00:19:54won't be my problem anymore.

00:19:55That night,

00:19:56I made him dinner

00:19:56for the last time.

00:19:57I baked the bread he liked,

00:19:58set his stomach pills

00:19:59by his water,

00:20:00and made his double espresso.

00:20:01Not because I couldn't let go,

00:20:03because I wanted to say goodbye

00:20:04to the part of me

00:20:04that had cared for him

00:20:05for three years.

00:20:06But he got it wrong.

00:20:07He thought I was giving in,

00:20:09apologizing.

00:20:09Get along with Lucia,

00:20:10and you'll always have your place

00:20:12as Mrs. Moretti.

00:20:13He said it like he was offering me

00:20:14the greatest reward.

00:20:15He had no idea my bags

00:20:16were already on their way

00:20:17to the port,

00:20:17or that the wife

00:20:18sitting across from him

00:20:19would be gone by tomorrow.

00:20:20Don't worry.

00:20:21After tomorrow,

00:20:22I won't be in your way anymore.

00:20:27On the day of the ceremony,

00:20:28I put on my oldest,

00:20:30most comfortable dress.

00:20:31The port clerk took my passport

00:20:32and said,

00:20:33Elena Belliandi.

00:20:34For the first time,

00:20:35I heard my real name.

00:20:36I hesitated.

00:20:37For three years,

00:20:38everyone had called me Isabella.

00:20:41Nervous?

00:20:41You missed the real anniversary.

00:20:43She's been waiting

00:20:44a whole month for this.

00:20:45She won't miss it?

00:20:46A month ago,

00:20:47Dante left me alone

00:20:48at our anniversary dinner.

00:20:49A month later,

00:20:50he invited every important family

00:20:52in Sicily to make it up to me

00:20:53with a grand celebration.

00:20:54But the woman on the stairs

00:20:55wasn't me anymore.

00:20:56This is the anniversary gift

00:20:57I owe you.

00:20:58But when Dante reached

00:20:59for her wrist

00:21:00to put the bracelet on,

00:21:01his fingers stopped cold

00:21:03on her bare skin.

00:21:07My mother thought

00:21:07all Isabella had to do

00:21:09was wear my dress

00:21:09and my jewelry,

00:21:10and Dante would still

00:21:11see his wife.

00:21:12It worked three years ago.

00:21:13She thought it would work again,

00:21:15but she forgot the wounds

00:21:16I took for her

00:21:16couldn't be passed back.

00:21:17He held this hand last night.

00:21:18The scratches from the basement

00:21:20were still fresh.

00:21:21The old burn scar

00:21:21from cooking was still there,

00:21:23but now the skin in his palm

00:21:24was spotless.

00:21:25Nothing.

00:21:25You're not her.

00:21:26Who the hell are you?

00:21:31Dante already knew

00:21:32something was off,

00:21:33but before he could press it,

00:21:34Lucia did what she always did

00:21:35and pulled everyone's attention

00:21:37back to herself.

00:21:38Dante,

00:21:39Lucia's missing.

00:21:40He promised me

00:21:40that no matter what happened

00:21:41to Lucia,

00:21:42he'd finish the ceremony

00:21:43on time.

00:21:44Then he saw her note

00:21:45and walked out

00:21:45on his wife again.

00:21:47At the same time,

00:21:48I was on a ferry

00:21:49leaving Sicily

00:21:50when Lucia texted me.

00:21:52Even at your anniversary celebration,

00:21:54Dante will still choose me

00:21:55the second I disappear.

00:21:57Lucia probably thought

00:21:58I was still the one

00:21:58Dante had left

00:21:59at the ceremony,

00:22:00so she texted me to gloat.

00:22:02I read it calmly,

00:22:03took out the SIM card,

00:22:04and snapped it in half.

00:22:06If I'd still been

00:22:06the one standing there,

00:22:08maybe it would have hurt,

00:22:09but I wasn't the one

00:22:09he left behind anymore.

00:22:11Dante never found Lucia.

00:22:12By the time he got back

00:22:13to the banquet hall,

00:22:14the candles were out.

00:22:15The guests

00:22:16and the Bellani family

00:22:17were gone.

00:22:18Only the maids were left,

00:22:19clearing away

00:22:20the withered petals.

00:22:21Three years ago,

00:22:21I probably would have

00:22:22stayed there in that dress

00:22:23until every candle burned out.

00:22:25That's what Dante expected too.

00:22:26So when he saw

00:22:27the empty hall,

00:22:28he looked confused

00:22:29for the first time.

00:22:30But Isabella wasn't me.

00:22:31She didn't wait for Dante

00:22:32or care what happened

00:22:33to Lucia.

00:22:34Back at the estate,

00:22:35she changed,

00:22:36had my old clothes

00:22:37cleared out,

00:22:38and started reviewing

00:22:39the Morelli family's

00:22:40assets and guest list.

00:22:46Lucia's missing.

00:22:47So?

00:22:48No matter how late it got,

00:22:50I always left a light

00:22:50on for Dante.

00:22:51Isabella couldn't even

00:22:52be bothered to ask

00:22:53if he'd found Lucia.

00:22:55Dante stood in the doorway

00:22:56for a long time.

00:22:57He couldn't understand

00:22:58why the wife

00:22:59who'd always obeyed him

00:23:00had changed overnight.

00:23:01The kidnapper sent a video.

00:23:03You want Lucia back alive?

00:23:04Trade me your wife.

00:23:10My first night out of Sicily,

00:23:12I slept in a cheap room

00:23:13with half a sea view.

00:23:14No bodyguards,

00:23:16no family crest,

00:23:17no husband ready

00:23:18to hurt me for Lucia.

00:23:19I turned off the lamp

00:23:20and lay down without fear

00:23:22for the first time.

00:23:23I thought the nightmare

00:23:24was finally over.

00:23:25Bring me the Belendi daughter

00:23:26and trade her for Lucia.

00:23:28One hour.

00:23:29After that,

00:23:30you're collecting Lucia's body.

00:23:32But I didn't know

00:23:33that across the sea,

00:23:34Isabella was facing

00:23:35Dante's choice again

00:23:36in my place.

00:23:37Come with me.

00:23:38She's your lover,

00:23:38not my problem.

00:23:42The Belendi family

00:23:44stays in Sicily

00:23:45because the Moretti family

00:23:46allows it.

00:23:47That was when Isabella

00:23:48understood.

00:23:49Being Mrs. Moretti

00:23:50gave her status,

00:23:51but not the power

00:23:52to defy Dante.

00:23:53Ten years ago,

00:23:54the Caruso family

00:23:55lost the port

00:23:55in that war.

00:23:56They didn't take Lucia

00:23:57for money.

00:23:58They wanted the Morelli

00:23:59and Belendi families

00:24:00at war again.

00:24:01Ten years ago,

00:24:03your families bought a truce

00:24:04with a marriage deal.

00:24:05Make the Belendi bride

00:24:07bleed yourself

00:24:07and I'll give Lucia back.

00:24:09If that were me

00:24:10standing there,

00:24:11I'd probably tell Dante

00:24:12it was fine.

00:24:16That I could take it.

00:24:18Back then,

00:24:19I thought enduring it

00:24:20was how I loved him.

00:24:21Dante was used to that too.

00:24:23If it was for Lucia,

00:24:24his wife was supposed

00:24:25to take it.

00:24:26Dante,

00:24:27if you do this,

00:24:28Belendi won't let it go.

00:24:29I'll handle the footage.

00:24:31Belendi will be compensated.

00:24:34The Alliance

00:24:35or Lucia.

00:24:37Choose.

00:24:38Dante bent down,

00:24:40picked up the knife

00:24:40and closed in on Isabella.

00:24:42He didn't choose the family.

00:24:44He didn't choose his wife either.

00:24:45Like every time before,

00:24:47he chose Lucia.

00:24:48The blade sank

00:24:49into Isabella's shoulder.

00:24:51Blood spread fast

00:24:52across her white dress.

00:24:53For the first time,

00:24:54she felt the pain

00:24:55I'd carried for three years.

00:24:57And for the first time,

00:24:58Dante saw that the wife

00:24:59in front of her

00:25:00wouldn't bleed

00:25:01and still tell him

00:25:02it was okay.

00:25:06The second Dante chose Lucia,

00:25:08she instantly passed out

00:25:09in his arms.

00:25:15Dante!

00:25:17Get her out.

00:25:19Every time I got hurt,

00:25:21I'd tell Dante I was fine.

00:25:22He got used to it.

00:25:23No matter where he left his wife,

00:25:25she'd make it back alive

00:25:26on her own.

00:25:26But Isabella isn't me.

00:25:28When I got hurt,

00:25:29all I wanted was to save the marriage.

00:25:30When she got hurt,

00:25:31she wanted payback.

00:25:33In the parking lot,

00:25:34Isabella found a phone

00:25:35someone had dropped.

00:25:36She took pictures of her wound,

00:25:38the burning winery,

00:25:39and the knife

00:25:39with the Moretti crest,

00:25:40then scheduled them

00:25:41to be sent to the

00:25:41Bellotti lawyer in the press.

00:25:44If I don't stop it

00:25:45within an hour,

00:25:46everyone will see

00:25:47that the Moretti heir

00:25:47stabbed his own wife that night.

00:25:49If this goes public,

00:25:50the truce agreement is over.

00:25:51Which means Dante

00:25:52will come begging.

00:25:55Dante probably thought

00:25:56she'd take it,

00:25:57like I always did.

00:25:58What he didn't see coming

00:25:59was this.

00:26:00Isabella walked back in

00:26:01and turned that stab wound

00:26:01into a weapon.

00:26:04If that video goes public,

00:26:06the Bellotti family

00:26:07will say the Moretti family

00:26:08broke the truce.

00:26:09The family council

00:26:10will shut down

00:26:10your succession ceremony.

00:26:11Are you threatening me?

00:26:12I'm protecting my interests.

00:26:17What do you want?

00:26:18Get Lucia out of here.

00:26:22Dante, I'm scared.

00:26:23I finally saw it.

00:26:24The wife in front of him

00:26:25was nothing like before.

00:26:26I hid my heart.

00:26:27Isabella makes everyone

00:26:28pay for hers.

00:26:29You were never like this before.

00:26:31Don't compare me

00:26:32to that idiot

00:26:33who'd put up with anything.

00:26:36Who are you calling an idiot?

00:26:40Dante kept pressing Isabella

00:26:41about that idiot,

00:26:42like he needed to know

00:26:43why his wife

00:26:43had changed overnight.

00:26:44obviously the old me

00:26:46you could push around.

00:26:47To keep the Bellotti family

00:26:49from seeing the video,

00:26:50Dante finally had his bodyguards

00:26:51take Lucia to the villa

00:26:52outside the city.

00:26:53With that one move,

00:26:54Isabella got Lucia

00:26:55out of the way.

00:26:56Not for me.

00:26:57She just wouldn't let a woman

00:26:58without a title

00:26:58threaten her place.

00:27:00Lucia was never going

00:27:01to sit back and take it.

00:27:02She bribed a maid

00:27:03slipped into the master bedroom

00:27:04while Isabella

00:27:05was treating her wound

00:27:07and found the notebook

00:27:08I left for her.

00:27:11I never needed to write

00:27:12any of that down.

00:27:13I was only worried

00:27:14Isabella had just come back

00:27:15and didn't know Dante

00:27:16well enough.

00:27:16In front of the family,

00:27:17she'd slip.

00:27:19But that notebook

00:27:19meant to help Isabella

00:27:20take over

00:27:21tipped Lucia off.

00:27:22The new Mrs. Moretti

00:27:23had to relearn

00:27:23her own husband.

00:27:25Her P.I. found something fast.

00:27:27He slid Lucia

00:27:27a manly envelope

00:27:28with Mrs. Bellini's

00:27:29old twin birth records,

00:27:30proof of the 4.2 million payment,

00:27:32and surveillance photos

00:27:32of two identical women

00:27:33entering the estate

00:27:34before the ceremony.

00:27:35The Bellotti family

00:27:36had two daughters.

00:27:38One of them

00:27:38was erased completely.

00:27:39Lucia thought

00:27:40she'd finally found

00:27:40Isabella's weak spot.

00:27:42She thought that if Dante

00:27:42learned the truth

00:27:43about the stand-in bride,

00:27:44he'd throw the imposter out

00:27:45and choose her instead.

00:27:46Lucia came to trade

00:27:47the truth for Dante.

00:27:48She didn't expect

00:27:49to run into Isabella first.

00:27:50She never could resist

00:27:51poking at people.

00:27:52Should I be calling you

00:27:52something else now?

00:27:53Drop to your knees

00:27:54and apologize.

00:27:55Then maybe I won't

00:27:56tell Dante your secret.

00:27:57She threatened Isabella,

00:27:59expecting the same submission

00:28:00she used to get from me.

00:28:01Did you forget

00:28:01whose home this is?

00:28:03Isabella wasn't me.

00:28:04She'd do anything

00:28:05to hold on to being

00:28:06Mrs. Moretti.

00:28:07Then they went over

00:28:07the stairs together.

00:28:13Then Dante walked in

00:28:14with his bodyguards.

00:28:15He saw them crumpled

00:28:15at the bottom of the stairs

00:28:16and at his feet,

00:28:17the twin photos

00:28:18and transaction records.

00:28:23Three days after I left,

00:28:25Isabella and Lucia

00:28:25fell down the stairs together.

00:28:27Dante was one step

00:28:27from the truth,

00:28:28but he caught Isabella first,

00:28:29so he never saw the paper.

00:28:35Lucia had a few scrapes.

00:28:37Isabella broke her wrist.

00:28:38If it had been me,

00:28:39he wouldn't have hesitated.

00:28:42He always chose Lucia first.

00:28:53Bring me the comic sachet

00:28:54from the car.

00:28:55When Dante got headaches,

00:28:56he wouldn't take medicine.

00:28:57He only used the lavender sachet

00:28:58in his car.

00:28:59This is the last one.

00:29:01Your wife never sent another

00:29:02after the anniversary.

00:29:03The staff never made

00:29:04those sachets.

00:29:06In our first year of marriage,

00:29:07Dante mentioned once

00:29:08that the scent in his car

00:29:09helped him sleep.

00:29:10I remembered that one sentence

00:29:11for three years.

00:29:12At dawn,

00:29:12I'd pick lavender,

00:29:13dry belgamat peel,

00:29:14and grain cedar into shavings.

00:29:16I'd sew the sashes

00:29:17from my old dresses

00:29:17and slip them

00:29:18into Dante's jacket pocket.

00:29:20Month after month,

00:29:21I never got tired of it.

00:29:22I thought if he caught

00:29:23that familiar scent,

00:29:24he'd know someone

00:29:25was always waiting

00:29:25for him to come home.

00:29:27But he never knew

00:29:28who made them.

00:29:29It wasn't until I left

00:29:30that he realized

00:29:30even the things

00:29:31he took for granted

00:29:32could disappear.

00:29:33The evidence Lucia thought

00:29:35was so clever

00:29:35wound up back

00:29:36with Dante's Mateo.

00:29:38He finally learned

00:29:39that Isabella

00:29:40was supposed to marry him

00:29:41three years ago

00:29:41and ran the night

00:29:42before the wedding.

00:29:43And the woman

00:29:43who wore her sister's veil

00:29:44and lived under her name

00:29:45for three years

00:29:46was the other Balani daughter,

00:29:48the one they never acknowledged.

00:29:49Then who the hell

00:29:50was beside me

00:29:51for the last three years?

00:29:53Her name is Elena.

00:29:55I'd imagined it

00:29:55so many times

00:29:56what Dante's face

00:29:57would look like

00:29:58when he learned the truth.

00:29:59I even hoped

00:29:59that one day

00:30:00he'd know it was me

00:30:01without the name

00:30:02or the identity

00:30:02just by one look.

00:30:04But in the end,

00:30:05he learned my name

00:30:05for the first time

00:30:06from a cold case file.

00:30:09Where is Elena?

00:30:11She left Sicily

00:30:12the day of the ceremony.

00:30:13After that,

00:30:13there's no travel record.

00:30:16Find her.

00:30:17Turn the whole Mediterranean

00:30:18upside down

00:30:18if you have to.

00:30:19Just find her!

00:30:20It was the first time

00:30:21Dante said my name.

00:30:22But when he finally

00:30:23started looking for me,

00:30:24I was done waiting.

00:30:27I didn't learn until later

00:30:28that when Dante

00:30:29found out the truth,

00:30:29his first reaction

00:30:30wasn't regret.

00:30:31It was anger.

00:30:32He thought I'd lied to him

00:30:33for three years,

00:30:33taken the 4.2 million dollars

00:30:34and run without giving him

00:30:36a chance to confront me.

00:30:37Dante opened the guest room

00:30:38at the end of the hall.

00:30:39No jewelry,

00:30:40no gowns,

00:30:40no luxury,

00:30:41just a narrow closet

00:30:42and a twin bed.

00:30:43After three years

00:30:44as Mrs. Moretti,

00:30:45that was all I ever had.

00:30:47It wasn't that I didn't

00:30:48love beautiful clothes.

00:30:49I just kept reminding myself

00:30:50the Moretti family's money,

00:30:52jewels,

00:30:52and name

00:30:53belonged to Isabella.

00:30:54I couldn't start thinking

00:30:55that borrowed life was mine.

00:30:58Dante opened the nightstand

00:30:59and found the black card

00:31:00still in the original envelope.

00:31:01It had never been opened.

00:31:03She never used it?

00:31:05She said it wasn't her money.

00:31:07After three years of marriage,

00:31:08that was the first time

00:31:09he realized

00:31:10I'd never spent his money.

00:31:11But by then,

00:31:11I didn't need him

00:31:12to understand me anymore.

00:31:13He kept looking

00:31:14and found a calendar

00:31:15buried in the drawer.

00:31:16The numbers counted down

00:31:17from 30,

00:31:18one day at a time.

00:31:18On the last page,

00:31:19it said,

00:31:20zero days until freedom.

00:31:21That countdown

00:31:22wasn't impulsive.

00:31:23From the day Lucia came back,

00:31:24I told myself every day,

00:31:26love Dante a little less,

00:31:27get a little closer to freedom.

00:31:28Only then did he understand.

00:31:30I wasn't waiting for him

00:31:31to come comfort me.

00:31:32I had truly planned

00:31:32to disappear

00:31:33from his world forever.

00:31:37Where's my coffee?

00:31:39Mrs. Morelli

00:31:40always made it herself.

00:31:42I used to get up

00:31:43at five every morning,

00:31:44soak the oats first,

00:31:46then grind two shots

00:31:46of beans for him.

00:31:48On rainy days,

00:31:49I'd tuck a sachet

00:31:50of dried lavender

00:31:50into his suit pocket.

00:31:52In winter,

00:31:52I'd warm his gloves first.

00:31:54His right hand

00:31:55had an old gunshot wound.

00:31:56It couldn't take the cold.

00:31:57I did those things

00:31:58a thousand times.

00:32:02He never asked.

00:32:03It wasn't until I left

00:32:04that he realized

00:32:05the warmth in that estate

00:32:06didn't just exist

00:32:07on its own.

00:32:12Every time he chose Lucia,

00:32:13I'd pull out those photos

00:32:15and tell myself

00:32:15there had been

00:32:16at least one moment

00:32:17he was gentle with me.

00:32:19In the end,

00:32:20I realized

00:32:21they didn't prove

00:32:21Dante ever loved me.

00:32:23They only proved

00:32:23how badly I wanted

00:32:24proof that he did.

00:32:30The Baloney family

00:32:31sent word

00:32:32they want Isabella

00:32:33back immediately.

00:32:34Tell them I'll come myself.

00:32:36That letter held

00:32:37the last part of me

00:32:37that still wanted to stay.

00:32:39But Dante put it

00:32:40in his pocket.

00:32:41He never got to open it.

00:32:44The second Dante

00:32:45walked into the Baloney estate,

00:32:46my parents knew it.

00:32:47The secret they'd buried

00:32:48for three years

00:32:49was out.

00:32:50Where is the line-up?

00:32:51She took the 4.2 million.

00:32:53Obviously,

00:32:54she went off

00:32:54to live the life

00:32:55she wanted.

00:32:57She married you

00:32:57for the money.

00:32:59You didn't seriously

00:33:00think she loved you,

00:33:01did you?

00:33:02Isabella knew

00:33:03what that marriage

00:33:03put me through.

00:33:04She just didn't care

00:33:05if I lived or died.

00:33:05To her,

00:33:06I took the money

00:33:07so I deserved

00:33:07whatever happened to me.

00:33:10Which fairy

00:33:11did she board?

00:33:13Once the deal

00:33:13was done,

00:33:14she was no longer

00:33:15part of the

00:33:15Baloney family.

00:33:17We don't know.

00:33:19Then think harder.

00:33:21You're not leaving

00:33:22until you talk.

00:33:23According to the

00:33:24Bellini records,

00:33:25I died when I was five.

00:33:26That year,

00:33:27I got no funeral,

00:33:28no grave.

00:33:29My parents erased me

00:33:30with a death certificate.

00:33:31I was the daughter

00:33:32they thought

00:33:32would shame the family.

00:33:37This isn't a

00:33:37childhood death record.

00:33:39It's a retroactive

00:33:39identity cancellation.

00:33:41Only then did he realize

00:33:42we'd lived together

00:33:43for three years

00:33:44and he'd never even

00:33:44asked if I officially

00:33:45existed.

00:33:46Find out where

00:33:46they sent her

00:33:47after she turned five.

00:33:54He followed that

00:33:55foster care form

00:33:56to the place

00:33:57where I grew up.

00:34:03She was always

00:34:04scared of winter.

00:34:06Even when the

00:34:07heater broke,

00:34:07she wouldn't tell

00:34:08her family.

00:34:09She was afraid

00:34:10they'd think

00:34:10she was a burden.

00:34:12While Isabella

00:34:13spent Christmas

00:34:13at the estate

00:34:14in wool dresses,

00:34:15I was stuffing

00:34:16old newspapers

00:34:16into the window cracks

00:34:17to keep out the cold.

00:34:18Back then,

00:34:19all I wanted

00:34:20was a coat

00:34:20that could keep

00:34:21the cold out.

00:34:25When she was five,

00:34:26her fever hit

00:34:27104 degrees Fahrenheit.

00:34:30I called the

00:34:30Balani family

00:34:31over a dozen times.

00:34:32No one came

00:34:33to pick her up.

00:34:35Dante stared

00:34:35at the hospital bill

00:34:36stamped,

00:34:37payment declined,

00:34:37and didn't say a word

00:34:38for a long time.

00:34:39At the bottom

00:34:39of the metal box,

00:34:40Dante found a scrapbook

00:34:41I made as a kid.

00:34:46That was the first time

00:34:47I ever saw Dante

00:34:48in the paper.

00:34:49They said he stood up

00:34:49to his family

00:34:50to protect a servant

00:34:51who'd been framed.

00:34:51I used to think

00:34:52a man who'd protect

00:34:53a stranger

00:34:53would protect

00:34:54his wife too.

00:34:56When she found out

00:34:57she was marrying him,

00:34:59she was happy

00:34:59for a long time.

00:35:02She said even if

00:35:02everyone else left her,

00:35:04Dante never would.

00:35:10Dante was silent

00:35:11for a long time.

00:35:12I think he knew

00:35:13he was the one

00:35:13who kept abandoning me.

00:35:18After he got back

00:35:19from the countryside,

00:35:20Dante started looking

00:35:20into all the time

00:35:21he'd never cared about.

00:35:22He even asked his mother

00:35:23if she'd punished me

00:35:24over the past three years.

00:35:25She couldn't even

00:35:26keep her own husband.

00:35:28Taking family punishment

00:35:29was her choice.

00:35:31What family punishment?

00:35:33That day,

00:35:34pictures of Dante

00:35:35with Lucia Rieke

00:35:35hit the papers.

00:35:36My white shirt

00:35:37was stained red

00:35:37and I still held

00:35:38the phone I never used.

00:35:39To everyone else,

00:35:41I'd rather take the whip

00:35:41than bother him.

00:35:42I loved him enough

00:35:43to lose my dignity.

00:35:44When they beat me unconscious,

00:35:45he was drinking with Lucia.

00:35:47He didn't even notice

00:35:48his wife never came home

00:35:48that night.

00:35:50She even defended you,

00:35:52said you couldn't have known.

00:35:53I didn't blame him

00:35:54for not knowing.

00:35:55I just finally understood

00:35:56that even if he had known,

00:35:57he might still not

00:35:58have come back.

00:36:01We found footage

00:36:02of Miss Delaina

00:36:03boarding the ship.

00:36:08Get the plane ready.

00:36:11After I left Sicily,

00:36:12I sat on that boat

00:36:13all night.

00:36:13I didn't dare sleep

00:36:14or look back.

00:36:15If I closed my eyes,

00:36:16Dante would send me back.

00:36:20Elena Bellanti.

00:36:21I'd been Isabella

00:36:21for three years.

00:36:22It had been a long time

00:36:23since anyone called me

00:36:24by my real name.

00:36:24From that moment on,

00:36:25I wasn't anyone

00:36:26standing anymore

00:36:26and I wasn't

00:36:27Mrs. Moretti anymore either.

00:36:28I thought I was

00:36:29finally free.

00:36:31The fever from the ice lake

00:36:32still hadn't broken.

00:36:33I barely made it out

00:36:33of the port

00:36:34before everything

00:36:34started spinning.

00:36:35I reached for my passport

00:36:36and hit the cold stone.

00:36:37All I wanted was to get

00:36:38farther from Sicily,

00:36:39farther and further away.

00:36:40Don't fall asleep.

00:36:41The ambulance is almost here.

00:36:43Elena, can you hear me?

00:36:44That was the first kind thing

00:36:45anyone said to me in Marseille.

00:36:46There was no command in it,

00:36:47no demand to give first.

00:36:48I found out later

00:36:49that by the time I collapsed,

00:36:51Dante was already in Marseille,

00:36:52chasing me.

00:36:54Lock down the airport

00:36:55in the port.

00:36:57Find everyone using

00:36:57the name Elena Belletti.

00:36:59This is Loran territory.

00:37:01Morali has no authority

00:37:02to lock it down.

00:37:02Then tell the Loran family

00:37:03I'm only here for one woman.

00:37:06The ambulance carrying me

00:37:07passed Dante's convoy

00:37:09on the road outside the airport.

00:37:11For the first time,

00:37:12he crossed into a strange city

00:37:13chasing my name.

00:37:14All that separated us

00:37:15was an ambulance window.

00:37:18When I woke up,

00:37:19my first instinct

00:37:20was to rip out the IV and run

00:37:21because every time

00:37:22I'd woken up in a hospital before,

00:37:23there was no care waiting for me,

00:37:24just the next punishment.

00:37:25Dante had prepared for Lucia.

00:37:28Don't be scared.

00:37:29I'm Adrian.

00:37:29I won't hurt you.

00:37:31Adrian saw how tense I was,

00:37:32introduced himself right away,

00:37:33and kept a safe distance.

00:37:34No one here will force you

00:37:35to do anything.

00:37:36The doctor said the fever

00:37:37and hypothermia

00:37:38left you extremely sensitive to cold.

00:37:39You need a long recovery.

00:37:41He didn't ask why I was

00:37:42so afraid of the cold

00:37:43or who did this to me.

00:37:44He just set the water

00:37:44where I could reach it,

00:37:45then stepped back far enough

00:37:46not to scare me.

00:37:47In Sicily,

00:37:48Dante was used to deciding

00:37:49who stayed and who left

00:37:50with a single sentence.

00:37:51In Merce,

00:37:51he came looking for me the same way.

00:37:54Elena Belletti passed out

00:37:55as soon as she got off the boat.

00:37:56Mr. Laurent took her to the hospital.

00:37:58Which Laurent?

00:38:00Adrian Laurent.

00:38:01That was the first time

00:38:01Dante heard Adrian's name.

00:38:03It was also the first time

00:38:03he learned another man

00:38:04had carried me into a hospital

00:38:05before he ever found me.

00:38:08Do you have somewhere to stay in Marseille?

00:38:10I didn't answer.

00:38:11I just looked at the suitcase

00:38:12by my feet.

00:38:12I'd come to Marseille alone.

00:38:14No family,

00:38:14no friends.

00:38:15When I got on that boat,

00:38:16all I wanted was to get away

00:38:17from Dante,

00:38:18from all that pain.

00:38:18It wasn't until Adrian asked

00:38:19that I realized

00:38:20I hadn't even figured out

00:38:21where I'd live.

00:38:24My family runs an old hotel.

00:38:25You can stay there

00:38:26until you find another place.

00:38:27He found me a place to stay,

00:38:28but he didn't put anyone on me

00:38:29or asked for anything in return.

00:38:38She just left.

00:38:40Dante saw the medical chart

00:38:41by the bed.

00:38:41He was too late again,

00:38:43but this time,

00:38:44no one was waiting for him.

00:38:45You're her husband?

00:38:46Yes.

00:38:47Then you should know

00:38:47why she shakes

00:38:48whenever she sees an ice pack.

00:38:49Severe hypothermia.

00:38:50She fell into freezing water

00:38:52on her period

00:38:53right after losing a lot of blood.

00:38:54It's a miracle she survived.

00:38:56This wasn't the first time

00:38:57Dante had seen those injuries.

00:38:58He just never really asked

00:39:00how much pain

00:39:00I was in.

00:39:01I used some of the money

00:39:02to rent an abandoned flower shop

00:39:04by the sea.

00:39:05I'd imagined leaving Dante

00:39:06so many times,

00:39:07imagined where I'd go.

00:39:08But when I was finally free,

00:39:10I realized I didn't even know

00:39:11what I liked anymore.

00:39:11So I decided to start

00:39:13by saving the flowers

00:39:14in this shop.

00:39:14Why are you helping me?

00:39:15No reason.

00:39:16He just kept working.

00:39:17He didn't ask anything from me

00:39:18and something in me warmed.

00:39:20I didn't think Dante

00:39:21would keep chasing me.

00:39:22He got the receipt

00:39:23I'd left with the doctor.

00:39:24It led Mateo

00:39:25to a seaside flower shop

00:39:26reached under the name

00:39:27Elena Belarity.

00:39:29And Dante followed the name

00:39:30I left behind.

00:39:31He came after me again.

00:39:34The shop wasn't open yet.

00:39:36I was alone with the flowers

00:39:37when the storm...

00:39:38Thunder cracked.

00:39:39The vase slipped.

00:39:40And icy water hit my legs.

00:39:42The second it touched my skin,

00:39:43I was back in that lake.

00:39:45I curled up under the counter,

00:39:47shaking so hard

00:39:48I could barely breathe.

00:39:49Then Adrian came in.

00:39:50I flinched back.

00:39:51He didn't come any closer.

00:39:53He just drew the curtain

00:39:54and turned on the heater.

00:39:55I'm right here.

00:39:56I won't touch you.

00:39:57Dante used to say

00:39:58my fear was just me acting out.

00:40:00Adrian didn't ask questions.

00:40:01He stayed until the rain eased,

00:40:03slid a hot cocoa to me,

00:40:04and kept enough distance

00:40:05to make me feel safe.

00:40:06That night,

00:40:07he was outside the flower shop.

00:40:09I was hiding behind the counter

00:40:10less than 30 feet away.

00:40:11She probably hasn't opened yet.

00:40:13I thought the storm

00:40:14had hidden my tracks.

00:40:15I didn't know

00:40:15the first bouquet I ordered

00:40:17had led him right to me.

00:40:20At six that morning,

00:40:21Adrian and I went to the market

00:40:23to pick flowers

00:40:23for the shop's opening.

00:40:24Since I came to Marseille,

00:40:26it was the first morning

00:40:27I was truly looking forward to.

00:40:29For the first time,

00:40:30I haggled with an easy smile

00:40:31on my face.

00:40:32After that night,

00:40:33Adrian and I felt closer.

00:40:35I didn't flinch from him anymore.

00:40:36He was nothing like Dante.

00:40:38He remembered I don't drink espresso,

00:40:39and he remembered I get cold easily.

00:40:42Adrian learned in a few days

00:40:43what Dante never noticed

00:40:44in three years.

00:40:45I held the flowers

00:40:46and walked through the crowd,

00:40:48already imagining

00:40:49what life would be like

00:40:50once the shop opened.

00:40:51But then Dante showed up.

00:40:52I found out later

00:40:53Dante shut down

00:40:54every Mareni shipping route

00:40:55in Europe

00:40:56for one night

00:40:56just to find me.

00:40:57He was still the kind of man

00:40:58who could silence

00:40:59an entire port.

00:41:02The world around me

00:41:03went quiet,

00:41:03but I didn't turn right away.

00:41:05I'd imagined this

00:41:06so many times,

00:41:07what I'd say

00:41:07if Dante came after me.

00:41:09But when I heard

00:41:09his footsteps,

00:41:10I realized I had

00:41:11nothing left to say.

00:41:12Dante kept coming,

00:41:13one step at a time.

00:41:15Elena.

00:41:15Hearing my real name

00:41:16in his voice,

00:41:17I tightened my grip

00:41:18on the flowers.

00:41:19Adrian caught it

00:41:19and stepped in front of me,

00:41:21instantly on guard.

00:41:22In three years of marriage,

00:41:23this was the first time

00:41:24Dante had called me

00:41:25by my name to my face.

00:41:26I turned slowly

00:41:27and met the eyes

00:41:29of the man

00:41:29who'd crossed

00:41:30half the Mediterranean

00:41:31to find me.

00:41:34I turned with the

00:41:35Lysangoras in my arms

00:41:36and saw Dante

00:41:37at the far end of the crowd.

00:41:38I'd imagined it

00:41:38so many times,

00:41:39whether Dante would come

00:41:40after me once he realized

00:41:41I'd left.

00:41:42But when he was really

00:41:43standing in front of me,

00:41:44I felt no hope,

00:41:45just the fear

00:41:45my body still remembered.

00:41:46Dante pushed through the crowd,

00:41:48ripped the flowers

00:41:48from my arms

00:41:49and pulled me against him.

00:41:50I finally found you.

00:41:51My whole body locked up,

00:41:52my arms hung at my sides.

00:41:53I didn't return the hug.

00:41:54For three years,

00:41:55I waited for him

00:41:56more times than I can count.

00:41:57But every time

00:41:58I needed him most,

00:41:59he was with another woman.

00:42:00Dante held me tighter,

00:42:01as if I'd disappear again

00:42:03the moment he let go.

00:42:04Let me go.

00:42:04Come back with me.

00:42:05Then Adrian yecked Dante

00:42:06off me and punched him.

00:42:07The Moretti bodyguards

00:42:08threw their guns.

00:42:09The whole market

00:42:09went dead silent.

00:42:11Dante was still

00:42:11the Moretti hair.

00:42:12One word from him

00:42:13to decide someone else's fate.

00:42:15For the first time,

00:42:15I stepped in front of Adrian.

00:42:17Don't touch him.

00:42:18Dante saw me

00:42:18shielding another man

00:42:19and his eyes went cold.

00:42:20You left me because of him.

00:42:24Dante lifted a hand.

00:42:25Matteo cleared out

00:42:26the vendors and vorists.

00:42:27Within minutes,

00:42:28the whole market

00:42:29was down to the three of us.

00:42:30He didn't ask if I was okay.

00:42:32He didn't ask

00:42:32if I was still hurting.

00:42:33The first thing he cared about

00:42:34was whether another man

00:42:35had taken what he thought

00:42:36was his.

00:42:37Answer me.

00:42:38I never left

00:42:38because of anyone else.

00:42:39Dante closed in on me,

00:42:41forcing me back

00:42:41against a stone pillar.

00:42:42Then come back

00:42:43to Sicily with me.

00:42:44Your bride is at the villa.

00:42:45She's Isabella.

00:42:45Dante braced a hand beside me,

00:42:47trapping me between

00:42:48the pillar and his body.

00:42:49You're the one

00:42:50who lived with me

00:42:50for three years.

00:42:51It was the first time

00:42:52he'd admitted

00:42:52he wasn't looking

00:42:53for a baloney marriage alliance.

00:42:54But he still sounded

00:42:56like he was taking back

00:42:57something that had been

00:42:57stolen from him.

00:42:58I took out my real passport

00:43:00and opened it

00:43:01in front of Dante.

00:43:02I'm Elena Belendi.

00:43:03The substitute bride

00:43:03agreement is over.

00:43:04You and I are done.

00:43:05The Maradi marriage

00:43:06doesn't end

00:43:07because you show me

00:43:07a piece of paper.

00:43:08In Sicily,

00:43:09no one says no to Dante.

00:43:10He still didn't get it.

00:43:11I wasn't leaving

00:43:12to make him chase me.

00:43:13Dante grabbed my wrist.

00:43:14His thumb pressed the scar

00:43:15the basement left behind

00:43:16and pain ripped through me.

00:43:18I won't let you disappear.

00:43:20This isn't over.

00:43:21I fought through the pain

00:43:22and peeled his fingers off me

00:43:23one by one.

00:43:24But the woman,

00:43:25the law,

00:43:26the church,

00:43:26and both families

00:43:27recognizes as

00:43:28Mrs. Moretti?

00:43:30Isabella.

00:43:31Dante looked down

00:43:31at the hand

00:43:32that couldn't hold me.

00:43:33Then after a long silence,

00:43:34he asked the question

00:43:35I'd spent three years

00:43:36afraid to ask.

00:43:37And what were

00:43:37these three years?

00:43:38I didn't answer.

00:43:39I brought up Lucia

00:43:40again instead.

00:43:41He chose her every time,

00:43:42so why come to Marseille

00:43:43for me now?

00:43:44I'd already given

00:43:44my place back.

00:43:45Why wouldn't he just

00:43:46let me go?

00:43:46Dante looked at me.

00:43:48He opened his mouth,

00:43:49but nothing came out.

00:43:50I waited,

00:43:50then realized

00:43:51he had no answer either.

00:43:52He was used to me

00:43:53staying exactly

00:43:53where he left me.

00:43:54He never imagined

00:43:55I'd walk away.

00:43:58The next day,

00:43:59I went to the flower shop

00:44:00and found the locks

00:44:01had been changed.

00:44:01Morelli guards were posted

00:44:03at both ends of the street.

00:44:04I knew right away,

00:44:05Dante still hadn't

00:44:06accepted my no.

00:44:06Everything inside

00:44:07was exactly where

00:44:08I'd left it.

00:44:09The deed was on the table.

00:44:10Dante slid a new set

00:44:11of keys towards me.

00:44:12This building belongs

00:44:13to the Moretti family now.

00:44:14Come back to Sicily with me

00:44:16and the flower shop stays.

00:44:17He was used to

00:44:18solving everything with money.

00:44:19He thought if he bought off

00:44:20my escape,

00:44:21I'd go back to him

00:44:22like I always had.

00:44:23And if I say no,

00:44:24no flight from Marseille

00:44:25to Sicily will take your name.

00:44:26I was never going back.

00:44:27I called the number

00:44:28Adrian left me.

00:44:29He said if anything

00:44:29happened in Marseille,

00:44:30I could call him.

00:44:31I didn't want to use

00:44:32Laurent's pull.

00:44:32Now I'd rather owe him.

00:44:33A few minutes later,

00:44:35Laurent cars pulled up.

00:44:36Their port lawyer

00:44:36and local cops

00:44:37told the Moretti guards

00:44:38to back off.

00:44:39Dante could keep

00:44:40all of Sicily quiet.

00:44:41But this wasn't his turf.

00:44:42And I wasn't a wife

00:44:43who had to survive

00:44:43by clinging to Moretti anymore.

00:44:45How long do you think

00:44:46Laurent can protect you?

00:44:47At least you won't lock me up

00:44:48and call it protection.

00:44:49You didn't come to Marseille

00:44:50because you love me.

00:44:51You came because

00:44:51for the first time

00:44:53someone wouldn't obey you.

00:44:55I put the new key

00:44:55back in his hand.

00:44:56He used to call

00:44:57control protection.

00:44:58He mistook my obedience

00:44:59for love.

00:45:00But now I don't need

00:45:01that anymore.

00:45:03To keep me out

00:45:04of Moretti reach,

00:45:05Adrian hid me

00:45:06at his place

00:45:06by the water.

00:45:07When Dante showed up,

00:45:08I thought I'd lose

00:45:09this life too.

00:45:09Adrian didn't ask me

00:45:10to fight the Morettis.

00:45:11He just gave me a door

00:45:12I could close

00:45:13and feel safe behind.

00:45:15After the storm,

00:45:16he came back from the alley

00:45:17with a white kitten

00:45:18soaked through.

00:45:19I wrapped the kitten

00:45:20in a towel.

00:45:21Adrian warmed some milk

00:45:22by the fireplace.

00:45:23Just like you,

00:45:24terrified,

00:45:24but pretending

00:45:25it doesn't need help.

00:45:26The kitten rubbed

00:45:27its head against my fingers

00:45:28and I couldn't help smiling.

00:45:29It was the first time

00:45:30I'd laughed out loud

00:45:31since I left Sicily.

00:45:33Adrian and I

00:45:33had a quiet life.

00:45:34Simple, but good.

00:45:35I didn't know Dante

00:45:36had been outside

00:45:37the whole time.

00:45:37He saw me let Adrian

00:45:38into my life.

00:45:39He saw me ask him

00:45:40to stay for dinner.

00:45:41Back then,

00:45:41I made dinner every night

00:45:42just to wait for him,

00:45:44whether he came home or not.

00:45:45Should I have Laurent leave?

00:45:46No.

00:45:47For the first time,

00:45:48he saw that the waiting

00:45:48he brushed off

00:45:49belonged to another man.

00:45:53After Adrian left,

00:45:54I was alone in the living room

00:45:55clearing the dishes.

00:45:56The door behind me

00:45:58opened without warning.

00:45:59I caught that cedar scent

00:46:00and before I even saw Dante,

00:46:02my whole body locked up.

00:46:03The lock here isn't secure.

00:46:04You're the most dangerous

00:46:05thing here.

00:46:07Dante ignored the jab,

00:46:08took off his black coat

00:46:10and wrapped it tight around me.

00:46:11It gets cold at night.

00:46:13You're underdressed.

00:46:14The tighter he wrapped me up,

00:46:16the hard it was to breathe.

00:46:17I struggled and stumbled back,

00:46:18knocking over the hot tea.

00:46:20Tea splashed by my feet.

00:46:22My breathing turned ragged.

00:46:26Just a few minutes.

00:46:27She'll be fine.

00:46:28I curled into the corner,

00:46:30staring at the black coat

00:46:31in Dante's hand.

00:46:32That coat had shielded Lucia

00:46:33from the cold.

00:46:34He'd shoved me into an icy lake

00:46:35in a thin hospital gown.

00:46:37Dante finally saw

00:46:38how terrified I was.

00:46:39He set the coat down

00:46:40and slowly backed away.

00:46:41Elena,

00:46:43it's me.

00:46:44He said it's me,

00:46:44like that should calm me down.

00:46:45But he was the one

00:46:46I was afraid of.

00:46:47Dante moved closer.

00:46:48I threw up a hand between us.

00:46:50Don't touch me.

00:46:51In the light,

00:46:51the scars on my wrist and palm

00:46:53were plain to see.

00:46:54Dante saw the scars

00:46:55and froze.

00:46:56For the first time,

00:46:57he didn't dare come any closer.

00:47:00Once he saw the scars on my hand,

00:47:02Dante finally started digging

00:47:04into everything

00:47:04he couldn't be bothered

00:47:05to ask before.

00:47:08The balcony fall,

00:47:09the basement,

00:47:10the ice lake.

00:47:11Pull all the surveillance footage.

00:47:13Find everyone involved.

00:47:14One order from him

00:47:15and the Moretti family's network

00:47:16across Europe

00:47:17started digging up the truth.

00:47:18Back then,

00:47:19if he'd wanted the truth,

00:47:20Lucia's lies

00:47:21wouldn't have lasted a day.

00:47:22Matteo got the terrace footage restored.

00:47:24Lucia grabbed my hand,

00:47:25pressed it to her shoulder,

00:47:26then threw herself over the railing

00:47:28when Dante came close.

00:47:31He finally saw it.

00:47:33I wasn't lying that day.

00:47:34But believing me now

00:47:35doesn't erase

00:47:36a single humiliation

00:47:37I suffered back then.

00:47:38In another piece

00:47:39of basement surveillance footage,

00:47:41Lucia's maid

00:47:42hauled out the iron cage

00:47:43of rats before dawn.

00:47:44Lucia had someone

00:47:45release the rats.

00:47:46Lucia would never do

00:47:47something like that.

00:47:48Dante closed his eyes.

00:47:49Then the audio recording

00:47:50played his order from the lake.

00:47:51Do what Lucia says.

00:47:52In that moment,

00:47:53he probably wanted

00:47:54to pin it all on Lucia.

00:47:55But in every piece of evidence,

00:47:56the voice ordering them

00:47:57to hurt me

00:47:58was his.

00:47:59Bring Lucia to me.

00:48:02You finally agreed

00:48:02to see me.

00:48:05Dante brought Lucia

00:48:06to Marseille.

00:48:07He needed someone

00:48:07to take the blame

00:48:08so he could tell himself

00:48:09he'd only been deceived.

00:48:11The fall.

00:48:12The rats.

00:48:13The icy lake.

00:48:14You set it up.

00:48:16You investigated me?

00:48:18I just wanted to know

00:48:19if you'd choose me.

00:48:22But you were the one

00:48:24who sent her

00:48:24to the hospital.

00:48:25You locked her

00:48:26in the basement.

00:48:27I only said

00:48:28I wanted to see her

00:48:29fall in the lake.

00:48:30You gave the order!

00:48:31Lucia said the one truth

00:48:33Dante never wanted to face.

00:48:34She used his bias,

00:48:35but she didn't make

00:48:36that choice for him.

00:48:37From now on,

00:48:38you don't set foot

00:48:40on any Marecki property.

00:48:42Touch me,

00:48:43and the substitute bride

00:48:44agreement

00:48:44and the twins' photos

00:48:45get sent to every media outlet.

00:48:47Then everyone will know

00:48:48Elena fooled them

00:48:49for three years.

00:48:50She knew Dante

00:48:50to destroy her,

00:48:51so she made me

00:48:52her last shield.

00:48:53If you want to protect Elena,

00:48:55let me walk.

00:48:56Dante's fist hiked.

00:48:57For once,

00:48:58he had to choose.

00:48:59Punish Lucia

00:49:00or protect me.

00:49:03Adrian never promised

00:49:04to protect me forever.

00:49:06He never promised me

00:49:07an estate.

00:49:07He just placed a boat ticket

00:49:09and a ring in my palm.

00:49:11Elena,

00:49:12will you build a life

00:49:13with me?

00:49:14Not as someone's stand-in.

00:49:16Not as Mrs. Laurent.

00:49:19Just be yourself.

00:49:20I suddenly realized

00:49:22Dante's love

00:49:22was a locked door.

00:49:24Adrian was outside

00:49:25holding out the key.

00:49:27This time,

00:49:27I reached for him first.

00:49:29I do.

00:49:30The first time

00:49:31I got married,

00:49:32I wore my sister's

00:49:33wedding dress,

00:49:34answered to her name,

00:49:35and was sent

00:49:36onto a stranger's boat.

00:49:37No one asked

00:49:38if I wanted it.

00:49:39No one even called me

00:49:39by my own name.

00:49:42Elena Bellary,

00:49:43do you take

00:49:44Adrian Laurent

00:49:44to be your husband?

00:49:45It was the first time

00:49:46I'd heard my own name

00:49:47at my own wedding.

00:49:48My eyes filled with tears,

00:49:50but I smiled

00:49:51when I answered.

00:49:52I do.

00:49:54Dante still came.

00:49:55He still could have

00:49:56locked down the port,

00:49:57held every ship,

00:49:58made everyone

00:49:59obey Moretti.

00:50:00But this time,

00:50:01he did nothing.

00:50:02Maybe he was changing too.

00:50:04It didn't matter

00:50:05to me anymore.

00:50:06After the wedding,

00:50:07I kicked off my heels

00:50:08and stepped onto the deck

00:50:09barefoot.

00:50:10Adrian reached for my hand,

00:50:12and together we boarded

00:50:13the sailboat leaving Marseille.

00:50:14From the deck,

00:50:15I saw Dante pull out

00:50:17that anniversary letter again,

00:50:18worn thin from being read

00:50:20so many times.

00:50:21Dante,

00:50:21if you'd come back

00:50:22on our anniversary,

00:50:23I would have stayed.

00:50:24But life doesn't give you ifs.

00:50:26I used to think love

00:50:27meant staying put

00:50:28and waiting for him

00:50:29to come back,

00:50:29again and again.

00:50:31Later,

00:50:31I understood.

00:50:33Real love doesn't ask me

00:50:34to give up my name,

00:50:36my dignity,

00:50:37or my freedom.

00:50:38The first time,

00:50:39I boarded Dante's boat

00:50:40under my sister's name.

00:50:42This time,

00:50:43I boarded a ship

00:50:44under my own name,

00:50:45one that truly chose me.

00:50:46I closed my eyes

00:50:48against the sea wind.

00:50:49Adrian settled his jacket

00:50:50over my shoulders.

00:50:51From this moment on,

00:50:53my life finally belongs

00:50:55to no one else.

00:50:56It belongs only to Elena.

00:51:00Adrian took me

00:51:01to a beach festival

00:51:02to celebrate

00:51:02the flower shop opening.

00:51:04That night,

00:51:05I tried stepping into a crowd

00:51:06for the first time.

00:51:08No one knew

00:51:08I was the Belodi family's stand-in.

00:51:10No one saw me

00:51:11as Mrs. Moretti.

00:51:12So I took Adrian's hand.

00:51:15The next dance is mine.

00:51:16He didn't raise his voice.

00:51:18He didn't ask what I wanted.

00:51:20He still expected

00:51:20everyone to move for him.

00:51:22To stop a scene

00:51:23between the two families,

00:51:24I signaled Adrian to let go.

00:51:28Dante took me by the waist

00:51:29and pulled me

00:51:30onto the dance floor.

00:51:31You used to love

00:51:32dancing with me.

00:51:33He had it wrong.

00:51:34I used to wait

00:51:35at the edge of the dance floor

00:51:36while Dante left with Lucia.

00:51:38I never liked dancing.

00:51:40I just wanted my husband

00:51:42to choose me once,

00:51:43in front of everyone.

00:51:45In those three years,

00:51:46did you really never fall for me?

00:51:48I looked up at him.

00:51:50I did love you.

00:51:52But that's over.

00:51:53When the music ended,

00:51:54I slipped my hand free

00:51:56and walked toward Adrian.

00:51:57He finally got the answer

00:51:58he wanted.

00:51:59And in that same moment,

00:52:01he knew that love

00:52:02was gone forever.

00:52:05Dante still believed

00:52:06Morelli Power

00:52:07could buy anything back.

00:52:08The next morning,

00:52:09cars bearing

00:52:10the Morelli family churse

00:52:11pulled up outside

00:52:12my flower shop.

00:52:13Matteo laid out jewelry,

00:52:15the estate deed,

00:52:16the family seal,

00:52:17and new marriage papers.

00:52:19Sign the papers.

00:52:20You can be my wife

00:52:21as Elena.

00:52:22He slid the Morelli ring

00:52:24across the table to me.

00:52:25Lucia won't show up again.

00:52:27Baletti won't dare

00:52:28control you anymore.

00:52:29Once.

00:52:30Those were the promises

00:52:31I wanted more than anything.

00:52:32But when he finally offered them,

00:52:34I didn't want them anymore.

00:52:36Do you even know

00:52:37what flowers I like?

00:52:38Dante didn't expect that.

00:52:39He looked at the roses,

00:52:41lilies,

00:52:41and licinorice in the shop,

00:52:43then went silent.

00:52:44Do you know

00:52:44I don't drink espresso?

00:52:45That I'm afraid of the dark?

00:52:47Or why I'm afraid of the cold?

00:52:48Dante couldn't answer.

00:52:50Of course he couldn't.

00:52:51He never really knew me.

00:52:56The white Lysuntra you wanted.

00:52:59They just came in.

00:53:01I took the flowers

00:53:02without thinking

00:53:03and smiled.

00:53:04He hadn't lived with me

00:53:05for three years.

00:53:07But he remembered my flowers,

00:53:09how sweet I like my hot cocoa,

00:53:11and not to touch me

00:53:12when it rains.

00:53:14Dante looked at us,

00:53:15then slowly put the ring away.

00:53:17You didn't want Eleza.

00:53:18You wanted that wife back,

00:53:20the one who lived

00:53:21her whole life around you.

00:53:22I threw Dante out,

00:53:24but he stayed at the door

00:53:25for a long time.

00:53:26Then Mateo suddenly

00:53:27held out an old envelope.

00:53:30This is the letter

00:53:31you brought back

00:53:32from the villa.

00:53:33You never opened it.

00:53:37I wrote that letter

00:53:39the day before our anniversary.

00:53:41By then,

00:53:42I already knew

00:53:43Isabella was coming back

00:53:45and that I'd be free soon.

00:53:46I wanted to tell Dante the truth

00:53:48and give us one last chance.

00:53:50Dante,

00:53:51I'm sorry I lied to you

00:53:53for three years.

00:53:54I'm not Isabella.

00:53:55I'm Elena.

00:53:56I married you for 4.2 millions,

00:53:59but I really did fall in love with you.

00:54:02If you come back tonight,

00:54:03I'll tell you everything.

00:54:05I'd even give up the 4.2 million

00:54:07and stay with you.

00:54:08Midnight came and went.

00:54:10Dante still didn't show.

00:54:12Then photos hit my phone

00:54:14of him at a gala with Lucia.

00:54:16That night,

00:54:17I waited until

00:54:18the last candle burned out,

00:54:20then added one final line

00:54:21to the letter.

00:54:23If he still chooses Lucia tonight,

00:54:25burn this letter.

00:54:26And don't tell him

00:54:28I ever loved him.

00:54:29Dante finally bowed his head.

00:54:31At the same time,

00:54:32several sedans

00:54:33with the Baleri family crest

00:54:35pulled up outside my flower shop.

00:54:48My parents crossed

00:54:49half the Mediterranean

00:54:50to find me,

00:54:51not to see if I was okay.

00:54:52They just didn't want

00:54:53my existence threatening

00:54:54Isabella's new status.

00:54:57Hand over Lucia's audio recording,

00:54:59sign the non-disclosure agreement,

00:55:01and stay in Marseille forever.

00:55:03They threw a document

00:55:04in front of me.

00:55:05It demanded I give up

00:55:06the Balani name

00:55:07and any right to go after them

00:55:09over the substitute bride scheme.

00:55:11You already got $4.2.

00:55:15Now you want to take my place

00:55:16as Mrs. Moretti?

00:55:17She knew I cried

00:55:18in that basement.

00:55:19She knew Dante shoved me

00:55:21into the icy lake.

00:55:23To her,

00:55:24all of it was just

00:55:25the price I paid

00:55:26to hold that place for her.

00:55:28I don't care about your status,

00:55:30but you don't get to decide

00:55:31my name anymore.

00:55:32I don't know when Dante

00:55:34got behind my mother.

00:55:35By then,

00:55:36the Moretti guards

00:55:37had already taken

00:55:37every Bellini guard outside

00:55:39without a sound.

00:55:40Dante didn't raise his voice,

00:55:42but the second he showed up,

00:55:43everyone around me

00:55:44lowered their weapons.

00:55:45Who said you could touch her?

00:55:47This is Bellini family business.

00:55:49It stopped being

00:55:49your family business

00:55:50the night you sent her

00:55:51to the Moretti family.

00:55:53Dante tore the non-disclosure

00:55:54agreement in half

00:55:55and threw it

00:55:56at Isabella's feet.

00:55:57Take your people

00:55:58and leave Marseille.

00:55:59The Bellini couple

00:56:00didn't dare argue.

00:56:02They just took their people

00:56:03and left the flower shop.

00:56:05I used to imagine him

00:56:06standing in front of me

00:56:07like this.

00:56:08But now that he finally is,

00:56:11I don't need

00:56:12his protection anymore.

00:56:13Where were you

00:56:14three years ago

00:56:14when I needed you?

00:56:19Come on.

00:56:20Lucia triggered

00:56:21the scheduled email.

00:56:22The substitute bride files

00:56:23are going out

00:56:24to the media.

00:56:27Lucia probably knew

00:56:28she'd lost Dante,

00:56:29so she decided

00:56:30to ruin me.

00:56:31Make me the woman

00:56:32who tricked him

00:56:33into marriage forever.

00:56:36Buy every story.

00:56:38Shut down the servers.

00:56:39Anyone involved

00:56:40goes now.

00:56:41The Moretti family

00:56:42started calling newspapers,

00:56:44TV stations,

00:56:45online platforms.

00:56:46One by one,

00:56:47the stories disappeared

00:56:48before they aired.

00:56:49If Dante wanted,

00:56:51he could still keep

00:56:52all of Cilia

00:56:52from hearing

00:56:53a single secret.

00:56:54But this time,

00:56:56he wasn't covering it up

00:56:57for the Moretti family.

00:56:58An article was already

00:57:00being cleared for release.

00:57:01The headline called me

00:57:02a fake bride

00:57:03who copped her way

00:57:04into that marriage

00:57:05for three years.

00:57:06The lawyer told Dante

00:57:07the safest move

00:57:08was to announce

00:57:08that Elena had deceived

00:57:10both the Moretti

00:57:10and Bellini families.

00:57:12Put it all on her.

00:57:13And your marriage

00:57:14and succession rights

00:57:16stay intact.

00:57:17Release a statement

00:57:17in my name.

00:57:19I ordered the marriage

00:57:20papers changed.

00:57:21Elena had nothing

00:57:22to do with it.

00:57:23Every time something

00:57:24went wrong before,

00:57:25he made me take the fall.

00:57:27This was the first time

00:57:28he took all of it

00:57:29on himself.

00:57:30Dante,

00:57:31bring Elena back

00:57:32to Sicily

00:57:33for a family tribunal

00:57:34or you lose your right

00:57:36to succeed the Don.

00:57:39Dante was raised

00:57:40from birth

00:57:41to become the next Don.

00:57:43The Moretti ports,

00:57:44the money,

00:57:45the power,

00:57:46it was all supposed

00:57:47to become his

00:57:48at the succession ceremony.

00:57:49hand Elisa over.

00:57:51Say she planned

00:57:52the marriage fraud alone

00:57:53and the family

00:57:55can pretend

00:57:56none of this happened.

00:57:57One woman

00:57:58or the entire Moretti family,

00:58:00you know which one

00:58:00to choose.

00:58:02I choose Lucia

00:58:03no matter what.

00:58:05Back then,

00:58:06he always thought

00:58:06choosing me,

00:58:07me meant losing

00:58:08something more important.

00:58:10Now he's finally

00:58:11being forced to choose

00:58:12between me

00:58:13and the power

00:58:13he values most.

00:58:15Elena isn't a Moretti

00:58:17and she's not

00:58:18for you to judge.

00:58:19Anyone who touches her

00:58:20is my enemy.

00:58:22If Dante lost

00:58:23his succession rights,

00:58:24Isabella lost her place

00:58:25as the future Don's wife.

00:58:27She didn't care

00:58:28if the family killed me.

00:58:29She only cared

00:58:30that Moretti

00:58:31would no longer be hers.

00:58:32Isabella called

00:58:33an elder who opposed

00:58:34the truce

00:58:34and sent him

00:58:35my flower shop address.

00:58:38If Elena disappears,

00:58:40Dante has no reason

00:58:41to keep defying the family.

00:58:43Minutes later,

00:58:44armed men grab their guns

00:58:45in a warehouse

00:58:46outside the city

00:58:47and headed for my place.

00:58:50Someone's at

00:58:51Elena's flower shop.

00:58:58I was closing up

00:58:59the flower shop

00:59:00when every streetlight

00:59:01outside went dark

00:59:02at once.

00:59:03The street always

00:59:04goes dead quiet

00:59:05before Morello men

00:59:06show up.

00:59:07Three years with Dante

00:59:08taught me more

00:59:08than his coffee order

00:59:09and stomach meds.

00:59:10I learned what this family

00:59:11sounds like

00:59:12before it kills.

00:59:13I killed the lights

00:59:14and pulled Adrian

00:59:15into the storage room.

00:59:16Back then,

00:59:17I had to learn

00:59:18those secrets

00:59:18to play the Morelli wife.

00:59:20This time,

00:59:21they helped save me.

00:59:22I grabbed the radio

00:59:23and copied their orders,

00:59:24sending most of the gunmen

00:59:26to the wrong exit.

00:59:27Adrian triggered

00:59:28the sprinklers

00:59:29and in the chaos,

00:59:30I opened the back door

00:59:31to the port warehouse.

00:59:33Adrian and I

00:59:34ran out of the warehouse,

00:59:35but the last two gunmen

00:59:37had us trapped

00:59:37at the dock.

00:59:39The second they aimed at me,

00:59:40a black car

00:59:41slammed through the barrier.

00:59:43It was Dante.

00:59:45He dropped one shooter,

00:59:47but the other opened fire

00:59:48from behind

00:59:48a shipping container.

00:59:50I'd waited for Dante before,

00:59:52at the icy lake,

00:59:54in the hospital,

00:59:55in the basement.

00:59:57Not once did he come.

00:59:59Get on the boat.

01:00:00What about you?

01:00:02You go.

01:00:03I'm staying.

01:00:05A shot rang out.

01:00:07The bullet tore

01:00:08through Dante's shoulder.

01:00:10He jerked,

01:00:11but he still stood

01:00:12between me and the gun,

01:00:13then took down

01:00:14the last shooter.

01:00:17He used to make me

01:00:18take the danger

01:00:19meant for Lucia.

01:00:20That night,

01:00:21for the first time,

01:00:22he put himself

01:00:23in front of me.

01:00:24Dante collapsed

01:00:25into my arms.

01:00:26Blood soaked

01:00:27my hands.

01:00:29Then he pressed

01:00:29a passport

01:00:30into my palm,

01:00:31the one that said

01:00:32Elena Belendi.

01:00:33This time,

01:00:34you choose

01:00:35which boat you board.

01:00:41The ambulance

01:00:42tore through the rain.

01:00:43I knelt

01:00:43by Dante's gurney,

01:00:45pressing hard

01:00:46on the wound

01:00:46that wouldn't

01:00:47stop bleeding.

01:00:48He was barely conscious,

01:00:49but he still

01:00:50wouldn't let go

01:00:51of my real passport.

01:00:53Don't go back

01:00:53to Sicily.

01:00:56Adrian draped

01:00:57his coat

01:00:57over my shoulders.

01:00:59You can leave.

01:01:01Morelli's people

01:01:02are already here.

01:01:02I looked at

01:01:03my blood-covered hands

01:01:04and didn't get up.

01:01:06He took a bullet

01:01:07for me.

01:01:08I need to know

01:01:09he'll live.

01:01:10I stayed,

01:01:11but not because

01:01:12my heart had started

01:01:13beating again.

01:01:14I just didn't want

01:01:15my freedom

01:01:15to cost him his life.

01:01:17At dawn,

01:01:18Dante finally

01:01:19opened his eyes

01:01:19and found me

01:01:20slumped by his bed.

01:01:21A flicker

01:01:22of disbelieving hope

01:01:23rose in his eyes

01:01:24and he grabbed

01:01:25my hand.

01:01:27I'd only stayed

01:01:28one night

01:01:29and he thought

01:01:30I'd finally softened.

01:01:31I pulled my hand

01:01:32free and set

01:01:32the obsidian air's ring

01:01:34Matteo brought

01:01:34on the nightstand.

01:01:36You saved me.

01:01:37I won't forget that.

01:01:39Dante looked at me

01:01:39and his breath caught.

01:01:42But one act

01:01:43of sacrifice

01:01:43doesn't erase

01:01:44the rats

01:01:44in that basement,

01:01:45the freezing lake,

01:01:47or all the times

01:01:48you left me behind.

01:01:49Dante,

01:01:50I can be grateful,

01:01:51but I'm not going

01:01:52to love you again

01:01:53because of it.

01:01:55Some wounds

01:01:56can be stitched shut.

01:01:58Others only remind me

01:01:59never to go back.

01:02:02Sir,

01:02:03the people who

01:02:03attacked the flower shop

01:02:04are talking.

01:02:05On the screen,

01:02:06I saw the record

01:02:07of Isabella

01:02:07sending the flower shop's

01:02:09address

01:02:09and Lucia's

01:02:10decrypted files.

01:02:11It was Isabella.

01:02:12She leaked

01:02:13Elena's location

01:02:15and there is more

01:02:16in Lucia's files.

01:02:18That day,

01:02:19the two women

01:02:20who used me

01:02:21like a pawn

01:02:21finally faced

01:02:23Moretto judgment.

01:02:26Even without

01:02:27the heir's title,

01:02:28Dante was still

01:02:29a Moretti.

01:02:30He just had

01:02:30to sit there.

01:02:31Lucia and Isabella,

01:02:32who used to act

01:02:33untouchable,

01:02:34barely dared to believe.

01:02:36I did all of this

01:02:38because I love you!

01:02:39Elena stole

01:02:40my marriage first.

01:02:41I was just

01:02:42taking back

01:02:42what was mine.

01:02:43You used my prejudice

01:02:45against Elena.

01:02:48But I'm the one

01:02:49who kept choosing

01:02:49to hurt her.

01:02:50For once,

01:02:52he wasn't blaming

01:02:52everyone else.

01:02:54but admitting

01:02:54it was his punishment,

01:02:56not a reason

01:02:56I had to forgive him.

01:03:01Kidnapping,

01:03:01assault,

01:03:02falsifying evidence,

01:03:04turn her over

01:03:04to the police.

01:03:08The marriage alliance

01:03:09is void.

01:03:11The Moretti family

01:03:12withdraws all protection

01:03:13from the Bolani family.

01:03:15Without Moretti,

01:03:15the Bolani family

01:03:16is finished.

01:03:18That's your problem.

01:03:19Mateo opened the safe

01:03:21and took out

01:03:22my birth certificate.

01:03:22my real passport

01:03:24and the divorce papers.

01:03:26Dante buried

01:03:27the substitute bride scanned.

01:03:29He wouldn't let my name

01:03:30become collateral

01:03:31in a war between

01:03:31the two families.

01:03:33He signed the papers,

01:03:35then ordered

01:03:36every surveillance file

01:03:37on me destroyed.

01:03:38From today on,

01:03:40no one in the Moretti family

01:03:41will track,

01:03:43investigate,

01:03:44or interfere

01:03:45with Alina Belente.

01:03:47He handed me

01:03:48the documents himself.

01:03:50Your name,

01:03:50your property,

01:03:51your freedom,

01:03:54they're yours again.

01:03:55I reached for them,

01:03:57but Dante didn't let go.

01:03:58He looked at me,

01:04:00tried to speak,

01:04:00stopped,

01:04:01then finally asked

01:04:02in a low voice.

01:04:03If I'd known

01:04:04it was you sooner,

01:04:06would this have

01:04:07ended differently?

01:04:08He held his breath,

01:04:09waiting for me to say

01:04:10we could have had

01:04:11a different ending.

01:04:12I took my passport

01:04:14and looked at him,

01:04:15but you didn't.

01:04:16I put my passport away

01:04:18and walked out of the club

01:04:19without looking back.

01:04:21At the bottom

01:04:22of the steps,

01:04:23Adrian was waiting

01:04:24with white Lacerius.

01:04:25He saw me,

01:04:26smiled,

01:04:27and put the flowers

01:04:28in my arms.

01:04:29I took the flowers.

01:04:31Adrian pulled a ring box

01:04:32from his pocket,

01:04:33his thumb resting on the lid,

01:04:35but he didn't open it.

01:04:37My eyes stayed on the box.

01:04:38He didn't rush me.

01:04:40He just watched,

01:04:41making sure I was ready

01:04:42for what came next.

01:04:43I'd just gotten back

01:04:44the right to choose

01:04:45my own life,

01:04:46and he was waiting

01:04:47to see if I'd let him into it.
