AmusantTranscription
00:00En Sicily, il y a une nuit bridesnatche tradition.
00:03Un homme doit s'enfermer dans le mariage d'estaté sous le couvercle de la nuit,
00:07l'enfermer sur sa tête, et l'enfermer dans ses côtés.
00:09Trois ans.
00:10Je l'ai fait tous attendre pour Adrien.
00:13Et aujourd'hui, il s'est finalement venu,
00:16s'enfermer dans mon étaté avec ses hommes.
00:19Je suis allé à partir de lui,
00:21quand j'ai entendu sa voix lui donner des ordres.
00:23Quand il s'est chaotique,
00:25il s'enferme dans les rooms et prendre Bella.
00:27Elle est fragile.
00:29Je ne ferai pas que Romano,
00:30je ne ferai pas que Romano,
00:30et ne ferai pas ces mountains.
00:33C'est pour Serena,
00:34c'est fierce.
00:35Si elle s'enfermer,
00:36elle s'enfermer comme hell.
00:37Juste attention.
00:38Outside the door,
00:40ses men exchanged unheasy lips.
00:42Adrien,
00:43c'est sûr ?
00:44Vous et Serena ont déjà le mariage certificat.
00:46Si elle s'enfermer,
00:47elle s'enfermer,
00:48elle s'enfermer.
00:49Il s'enfermer.
00:50Il s'enfermer.
00:51Il s'enfermer.
00:51Je vais juste s'enfermer après
00:53et s'enfermer.
00:55Besides,
00:56vous savez que le mariage certificat
00:58entre moi et Serena
00:58est un faux.
01:01Je m'aimais que Bella
01:02je vais aller à la ville de la ville
01:03pour vivre.
01:04Pour maintenant,
01:04Serena va juste avoir à la nourriture.
01:06Behind cette porte,
01:07je heard tout un mot.
01:09No tears,
01:10no scene.
01:11Je suis allé dans l'air.
01:12Ils pensent que
01:13quand je réalisais
01:13que le groom était swap,
01:15je me suis mis en train de faire
01:15un déjeuner comme toujours.
01:17J'ai dû faire des kidnappes
01:18et
01:20un déjeuner
01:20à mon corps.
01:22Mais je n'ai pas.
01:29Luca Romano,
01:32a name de toute la underworld
01:34fears.
01:36Je suis au côté
01:37de son déjeuner.
01:39Il s'enferme
01:39du bride
01:40du mai
01:41J'ai l'impressionné que la nuit dans la ville.
01:49En mon bureau, je n'ai pas pris mon téléphone.
01:53Le glace m'a fait mes yeux de l'esprit.
01:56Mon textiste m'a été la dernière fois.
01:59Elle me dit que mon engagement avec Adrienne n'était jamais existé.
02:03Quelque chose dans ma tête s'enclençait.
02:06Pour trois ans, rien que je faisais n'était jamais bon pour Carmen.
02:11En public, elle n'a jamais même dit mon nom.
02:15Je suis juste un petit stray de l'Hillside Estate.
02:19Move, vous petit stray.
02:23À chaque Russo family dinner, ils m'ont mis à la fin de la table.
02:28Adrienne m'a dit qu'il m'a retourné à la Meretti Estate
02:30et m'a dit qu'il m'a retourné à Nova après le Midnight Bride-Taking Ritual.
02:35Je croisais lui.
02:37Maintenant je sais qu'il m'a juste voulait me gone,
02:40so he could love Bella instead.
02:42The fragile girl he was always protecting.
02:51The courtyard outside was already deafening.
02:55Firelight stained half the sky red.
02:57All that celebration was for Bella.
02:59This wasn't my room.
03:00It was Bella's.
03:01This afternoon, Vera called me over,
03:04took my hand,
03:05and for once,
03:06spoke gently.
03:09Serena,
03:10stay in Bella's room tonight.
03:12With the Midnight Bride-Taking Ritual,
03:14they won't find you in that back room.
03:16And the Romano men coming for Bella play rough.
03:20You've always been tough.
03:21Bella's not.
03:23If she gets hurt,
03:24it'll be a mess.
03:26And Adrienne doesn't know the estate,
03:28so stay in the front room
03:29and save him from tearing the whole place apart.
03:34I knew what she meant.
03:37In that ritual,
03:39the groom's side storms in,
03:40and the bride's side fights back.
03:42The punches and shoves are real.
03:45I went along with it,
03:47for Adrienne.
03:49I even sent him my room.
03:53What I didn't know was,
03:55they were all setting me up.
03:57Vera wanted me,
03:59taking the hits for Bella,
04:00and Adrienne used it
04:01to pull off his bride swap.
04:07The noise outside suddenly swelled.
04:10Cheers and firecrackers
04:12rattled the window frame.
04:13They got her!
04:14They got the bride!
04:15Get Adrienne out of there!
04:16Some people were shouting,
04:17some were laughing.
04:19I listened without moving a muscle.
04:22I knew who they'd taken.
04:26I could picture it.
04:28Adrienne stumbling through the crowd
04:29with Bella on his back,
04:31his men covering him.
04:32And Bella,
04:33fake struggling for a second,
04:35then soaking up the protection
04:36that should have been mine.
04:40good for you.
04:42If you're so in love,
04:43then be together.
04:45A few minutes later,
04:47my door slammed open.
04:49Another bride-taking crew
04:50rushed in out of the dark,
04:52the Romano family,
04:53the biggest crime family in town.
04:55Bella was their target,
04:57but I didn't hide.
04:59I sat there and waited for fate
05:02to pass judgment again.
05:08The rules of the bride-taking ritual
05:11said that if the bride didn't resist,
05:13she accepted the marriage.
05:16Adrienne used that rule
05:17to take someone else,
05:19so I would use it
05:21to leave him.
05:26A few men in black
05:27rushed into the dark room
05:28and grabbed for me
05:29without a word.
05:30No flashlights.
05:32No checking.
05:34Just rough hands
05:35yanking at me.
05:39The harder they hit the bride,
05:41the more it meant
05:42her family wouldn't let her go,
05:43and the harder the groom's side
05:44had to fight for her.
05:46That was the ritual resistance
05:47at the door.
05:48I didn't dodge.
05:50I didn't fight back.
05:51I let them shove me
05:53into the corner.
05:54At first, it felt staged.
05:58Then it changed.
06:00The hits got real,
06:02hard,
06:03and vicious.
06:05This wasn't ritual anymore.
06:07It was humiliation.
06:08They were taking all their anger
06:10at the Moretti family
06:11out on me.
06:16You've always been tough.
06:18Bella's not.
06:19If she gets hurt,
06:20it'll be a mess.
06:21Trust me.
06:22Once this blows over,
06:24I'll marry you properly.
06:26Every punch hurt.
06:28But not as much as realizing
06:30the man I loved
06:31had spent three years
06:32playing me
06:33with my stepmother's
06:34whole family in on it.
06:36Just as another man
06:38raised his fist
06:38to hit me again,
06:40a strong arm
06:41shot out of the dark
06:42and blocked it.
06:46Enough.
06:48He stepped in front of me,
06:51tall and solid,
06:52like nothing could move him.
06:55The others pulled back
06:56with awkward laughs.
06:58They were clearly wary of him.
07:03The man in front of me
07:04was tall.
07:05In the dim light,
07:05I could only make out
07:06the hard line of his face.
07:07There was something steady
07:08and imposing about him.
07:10Luca,
07:10it's the custom.
07:11The harder the ritual resistance
07:13at the door,
07:13the more it shows
07:14the bride matters.
07:15We're doing this
07:15for the heir's sake.
07:18Custom?
07:18What custom?
07:19Easy for you to say
07:20when it's not your wife.
07:21If she were the one
07:21getting beat like this,
07:22you'd just stand there
07:22and watch?
07:23Everything went quiet
07:24for a beat.
07:25The men just looked
07:26at each other,
07:26not daring to say
07:27another word.
07:28Then he glanced back at me,
07:29his eyes deep and calm.
07:31He crouched down
07:32with his back to me.
07:35I stared at those broad shoulders
07:37and froze for a moment.
07:40Don't be scared.
07:41I'm getting you out of here.
07:45I quietly leaned
07:46against his back
07:47and wrapped my arms
07:48around his neck.
07:52He ran hard,
07:53but steady.
08:00One arm tight
08:01under my knees
08:01so I wouldn't fall.
08:02Adrian thought
08:03I'd fight back
08:04once I realized
08:04they'd switch the groom.
08:06He had no idea
08:06I'd lie still
08:07on the stranger's back
08:08and become
08:09another man's bride.
08:13The night air was cool,
08:15rich with the smell
08:15of earth.
08:16When we crossed
08:17the first ridge,
08:18we ran into Adrian.
08:20The firelight flickered
08:21over a few familiar faces.
08:23Bella had her face
08:24buried in Adrian's shoulder,
08:26her arms locked tight
08:27around his neck.
08:27Kiss her!
08:28Kiss her!
08:29Kiss her!
08:29I lay still
08:30on Luca's back
08:31and watched them
08:32come closer.
08:33The firelight swept
08:34over my face.
08:36Adrian glanced over
08:37and stopped on me
08:38for a second.
08:40Just a second.
08:41He didn't recognize me.
08:43Bella murmured
08:44something in his ear
08:45and he turned to her
08:46with a smile
08:46that stung.
08:47all his patience,
08:48all his tenderness,
08:49belonged to someone else.
08:51I was just the sacrifice
08:52he could throw away.
08:56That blinding smile
08:57took me right back
08:58to three years ago
08:58when he first came
08:59to the old estate
09:00to look for me
09:01with that same smile.
09:04Back then,
09:05he braved the mountain road
09:06and that downpour
09:07just to bring me
09:08my favorite pastries.
09:18I didn't want you waiting.
09:19A little pain's nothing.
09:20For my wife,
09:21gladly.
09:22He could have stayed
09:22safe and comfortable
09:23but he came all the way
09:24out here for me.
09:26Holding that bag of pastries,
09:27I really thought he was
09:28the man I'd spend my life with.
09:31And now he had Bella
09:32on his back,
09:33smiling just like he used to.
09:35When did he change?
09:40Luca,
09:41didn't expect to see you here.
09:42You're doing the midnight bride
09:43taking ritual too?
09:44Which family?
09:44The estate next door.
09:46Adrian looked at me again
09:47then smiled.
09:47I could feel his eyes
09:48on my back so long
09:49I almost thought
09:50he'd recognize me.
09:51Then Bella spoke.
09:53Adrian,
09:53my foot still hurts.
09:54Let's go.
09:55We still have to make it
09:56to the estate before dawn.
10:02Fine, let's go.
10:05Luca!
10:06Drinks are on me
10:06next time we're back in town.
10:10I used to tell him
10:11if he ever came for me
10:12I'd jump on his back first.
10:15He'd laugh,
10:16ruffle my hair,
10:16call me a silly girl.
10:18But now I was
10:19on another man's back
10:21and I couldn't even
10:22be bothered to look at him.
10:23I'm Luca,
10:24Luca Romano.
10:26My cousin was supposed
10:27to come for you tonight
10:28but he ran off.
10:29When I came in
10:30I was just trying to hide you
10:31so those idiots
10:32wouldn't hurt you.
10:34But you didn't fight me.
10:35by the rules
10:37once you enter
10:37the Romano estate
10:38you're my wife.
10:40If you don't want that
10:42I'll take you back.
10:45I'm not going back.
10:47Okay.
10:48One word,
10:48okay.
10:49Then he just carried me
10:51steady as ever
10:52one step at a time.
10:53And in that moment
10:54I knew anywhere
10:55was better than turning back.
10:58Bonfires blade
10:58across the Russo family compound
11:00as everyone celebrated
11:01the success
11:01of the Midnight Bride
11:02taking ritual.
11:04Off to the side
11:05Adrian sat with his phone
11:06in his hand
11:07still waiting
11:08for a message from me.
11:09He already had
11:10his excuses ready.
11:12He was just waiting
11:13for me to call furious
11:14so he could soothe me.
11:17But this time
11:18there was no accusation.
11:20No call.
11:21Waiting on Serena?
11:22Don't.
11:23She's probably too busy
11:24beating people up.
11:25With that temper
11:26that spoiled Romano brat
11:27won't even recognize
11:28himself by tonight.
11:29Finally,
11:29too restless to sit still
11:31he stepped aside
11:32and called Aunt Rosa.
11:33Rosa.
11:34Serena didn't make a scene
11:35did she?
11:37A scene?
11:38She was quiet as could be.
11:39Luca carried her off
11:41without any trouble.
11:42We're packing her things now
11:43and sending them
11:44to the Romano estate.
11:50You say what?
11:56The dead tone
11:57hit like a sledgehammer
11:58smashing Adrian's
11:59smug certainty to pieces.
12:01No,
12:02that wasn't Serena.
12:03She would have fought.
12:04She'd never let another man
12:05carry her off.
12:06Adrian,
12:07have you lost your mind?
12:08It's your ritual
12:09with Bella tonight.
12:10The whole family
12:11is watching.
12:11Where the hell
12:12are you going?
12:20I'm going to be here.
12:21I'm going to be here.
12:22my wife.
12:23This was a mistake.
12:25Serena was the one
12:26I was supposed to take.
12:28You took her
12:29so you finished the ritual
12:31or you shamed
12:31the Russo family.
12:33Good riddance
12:34to that little stray
12:35from the hillside estate.
12:36Once Bella comes in properly,
12:38this blows over.
12:39But if you leave now,
12:40what happens
12:41to Bella's reputation?
12:42What happens
12:42to our family's name?
12:44Adrian's heart sank.
12:46He knew our marriage certificate
12:47had been fake
12:48from the start.
12:49Now he didn't even have
12:50the legal standing
12:51to come get me back.
12:52In the end,
12:53everything he took for granted
12:55had come back on him.
12:57Firelight flickered
12:57over the celebrating crowd,
12:59the cheers growing louder
13:00by the second.
13:01Adrian stood frozen
13:03like he'd fallen into ice.
13:05Adrian,
13:06where are you going?
13:07I know you wanted Serena,
13:09but tonight,
13:10since I'm the one they took,
13:11can you let me be the bride?
13:13Just for one night?
13:14The family started shouting
13:16for them to drink
13:16the ritual bridal toast
13:18and seal the marriage.
13:19Bella lowered her head,
13:20lashes tremoring,
13:22looking meek and wronged.
13:25He drank the wine
13:26and went through
13:27with the absurd ritual,
13:28but his eyes kept drifting
13:29to the road they'd passed.
13:31Then he remembered
13:32the girl on Luca's back.
13:33He drank the wine
13:34and went through
13:35with the absurd ritual.
13:36He drank the wine
13:37and went through
13:38with the absurd ritual,
13:39but his eyes kept drifting
13:41to the road they'd passed.
13:42Then he remembered,
13:43the girl on Luca's back.
13:45Just that glimpse
13:46of her neck
13:47had felt achingly familiar.
13:48Then he remembered
13:49the girl on Luca's back
13:51had felt achingly familiar.
13:54Then he remembered,
14:03it was her.
14:05So Luca really took her.
14:07She didn't even fight?
14:08She just went with him?
14:10No.
14:11I don't believe it.
14:12I don't believe it.
14:21At the same time,
14:25the Romano estate
14:25was so quiet,
14:27all you could hear
14:27were the crickets.
14:28Have some water.
14:31I looked at him and thought,
14:33if Mateo hadn't backed out
14:34at the last minute,
14:35I might have let someone else
14:36carry me off that night.
14:38You knew as soon as you walked in
14:40that I wasn't Bella,
14:41didn't you?
14:42I saw you years ago
14:43at Nova University.
14:45I didn't know why
14:46you were taking Bella's beating
14:47for her,
14:47but I knew the man
14:48you were waiting for
14:49wasn't coming.
14:51Whether you left with me
14:52was your choice.
14:53The Midnight Bride
14:54taking ritual isn't forced.
14:56If I'd refused,
14:57I could have fought back
14:58and shamed him on the spot.
15:00But I stayed silent.
15:02By the rules,
15:03once I walked through that door,
15:05I became your wife.
15:06Luca, thank you.
15:09That night,
15:10the bonfire
15:10at the Russo family compound
15:12burned till dawn.
15:13For Adrian,
15:14every second was agony.
15:16He stared at the number
15:17he could never reach again.
15:19All he could hear
15:20were the words
15:20I said to him that day,
15:22sitting on that doorstep.
15:27If it were some guy
15:28I didn't want,
15:28no way I'd let him
15:29carry me off.
15:30I'd kick,
15:31bite,
15:32scratch,
15:33beat him senseless.
15:35What if it was me?
15:37If it were you,
15:38I'd fake a little struggle.
15:40If you came for me,
15:41I'd jump on your back myself.
15:44He thought I'd lose it,
15:46thought I'd wait
15:47for him to come back.
15:48But I was on another man's back,
15:50too numb to even struggle.
15:52When your heart's dead,
15:53you don't even have it
15:54in you to hate.
15:57It's dawn.
15:58I'm going after her.
16:01At first light,
16:02Adrian bolted out
16:03of the compound.
16:05Where's Luca's place?
16:06Tell me now.
16:07Shit.
16:08He thought if he ran fast enough,
16:09he could turn back time.
16:10He thought one explanation
16:12would make me forgive three years.
16:13He thought one explanation him
16:15like I had for the last three years.
16:16Serena!
16:17Come out!
16:18I know you're in there!
16:19Let me explain.
16:20I can get you a new
16:20engagement certificate.
16:24He stormed into my house
16:26and found no trace of me.
16:28Just a packet of dried herbs
16:30on the table.
16:31Three years ago,
16:33I burned my fingers
16:34making him herbal tea
16:35for the first time.
16:36He just said it was bitter.
16:38Only then did Adrian realize
16:40it had been over all along.
16:42He just refused to see it.
16:47Stop knocking.
16:48You're looking for Luca?
16:49He left for Nova
16:50early this morning
16:51with his new wife.
16:52Said there was some
16:53emergency at the company.
16:57They went back to Nova?
16:58Where in Nova?
16:59How would I know?
17:00Why would they report to you
17:01where they're going?
17:02Adrian stood on the empty porch,
17:04trembling as he tore
17:05through his contacts,
17:07only to realize
17:08he didn't even have
17:09Luca's number.
17:10They were barely acquaintances,
17:12just two men
17:12who'd nodded at each other
17:13at a few cocktail parties.
17:16For three years,
17:17he treated me like a dog
17:18he'd tied up and left waiting.
17:20He never cared
17:20what that did to me,
17:22never thought I'd break free.
17:23But now,
17:24the dog is gone,
17:25the leash is broken,
17:26and he doesn't even know
17:27my address.
17:28Desperate,
17:29Adrian went back
17:30to the Morelli estate,
17:31picked up Bella,
17:32and drove back to Nova.
17:33They rode back
17:34in a tense silence.
17:35Adrian wouldn't speak,
17:37and Bella didn't dare
17:38push him.
17:38He still didn't know
17:40I'd never gone
17:40to his mansion in Nova.
17:41Once again,
17:42he came up empty.
17:43Adrian,
17:45now that the ritual's over,
17:46shouldn't we give
17:47Carmen an official answer?
17:50Then I can get ready
17:51to move in.
17:54Shut up.
17:55The ritual was fake,
17:56and so is any answer.
17:58Know your place,
17:59or I'll dump you
18:00on the highway.
18:01Bella went pale.
18:02She thought last night's ritual
18:04meant she could move
18:04right in.
18:05She had no idea
18:06Adrian had never hated
18:08her more.
18:08Across town,
18:10my new life
18:10was just beginning.
18:12Security's tight here.
18:13It's one of the Howard family's
18:14hidden properties.
18:15Adrian will never find you.
18:17What's your next move?
18:18My father left me
18:19his most closely guarded
18:20herbal and spice formulas.
18:22Three years under
18:23Carmen's contempt
18:24and Adrian's empty promises
18:25almost made me forget
18:27I was meant to build
18:27something of my own.
18:29I want to revive
18:30the Morelli family's
18:31herbal business.
18:31I'm taking back
18:33every I sliced
18:33every year I lost,
18:35and I'm done
18:36depending on anyone.
18:37Good.
18:38I'll handle the funding
18:39and distribution.
18:40We're partners,
18:40and we're married.
18:42You can trust me
18:42to have your back.
18:43I met his eyes
18:44and nodded.
18:45This time,
18:46I chose the right partner.
18:47A few days later,
18:49Carmen stormed into
18:50Adrian's CEO office
18:51at Russo Group.
18:52You and Bella
18:53already went through
18:54the midnight bride-taking ritual.
18:56Settle down
18:57and live with it.
18:57Why are you still
18:58sending people
18:59after that runaway stray?
19:01Mom,
19:01she's my wife.
19:02She didn't run off
19:03with anyone.
19:04Luca took her
19:05in the chaos.
19:06So he took her.
19:07That's normal
19:08in the ritual.
19:09If she wanted you,
19:11why didn't she
19:11come back on her own?
19:12She changed her mind.
19:14Bella knows her place.
19:15She fits right
19:16into Nova's upper circle,
19:18and she knows
19:18how to please me.
19:20With that lofty contempt,
19:21Carmen tried to erase me
19:23from this family.
19:23She loved Bella's flattery
19:25and hated that
19:26I had a backbone.
19:27Under all that pressure,
19:28Adrian finally snapped.
19:29Enough!
19:30Why didn't she come back?
19:32Because she had
19:32no reason to.
19:39Mom,
19:40you said you'd only
19:41accept Serena
19:41if I never made it legal.
19:44That certificate
19:44I gave her
19:45was fake from the start.
19:54Mom,
19:54you said you'd only
19:55accept Serena
19:55if I never made it legal.
19:57That certificate
19:57I gave her
19:58was fake from the start.
20:00Carmen froze.
20:02Her proud face
20:03flashed with a hint of shock.
20:04She probably hadn't
20:06expected her son
20:06to resist
20:07in such a self-structing way.
20:09She's not my legal wife.
20:10If she won't come back,
20:11I have no standing
20:12to go after her.
20:14By Sicilian custom,
20:15she's Luca's wife now.
20:16I don't even get a say.
20:18That was your choice.
20:20If you didn't want
20:21to help Bella,
20:21why'd you take her?
20:23Now the whole family knows.
20:25If you dump her,
20:26what happens
20:27to the Russo family's face?
20:29Pride.
20:30Always pride.
20:31He lost me over it,
20:32and now it's the very thing
20:33chaining him down.
20:34He did this to himself.
20:36I cut my deal
20:37with Bella unilaterally
20:38two months ago.
20:39I can't be with her.
20:41I've already ruined Serena,
20:42so I can't ruin myself too.
20:44Late that night,
20:46Adrian sat on the couch,
20:47drinking in a trashed apartment.
20:49No one rang the bell.
20:50The door opened anyway.
20:52Adrian,
20:53you haven't been eating.
20:55Drink some milk.
20:56Carmen asked me
20:57to check on you.
20:57She said you're
20:58having a hard time.
20:59She thought Carmen's backing
21:01would finally get her
21:01where she wanted to be.
21:03Then she fed Adrian
21:04the most nos-saving pitch yet.
21:06You got me legal status
21:07in Nova.
21:08You ran interferent
21:09with your mom.
21:10You said it was just
21:11to get me out
21:12of the old estate.
21:13But you didn't have
21:14to go that far.
21:16Just admit it.
21:18You do want me.
21:20I could help you
21:21keep your house in order.
21:22Serena only humiliates you.
21:24All she cares about
21:25is those herbs.
21:26There was nothing innocent
21:27left in those eyes.
21:28Just naked greed
21:29and ambition.
21:30In that moment,
21:31the lie he'd lived under
21:32for three years
21:33finally shattered.
21:36Looking at Bella,
21:37Adrian suddenly replayed
21:38the last three years
21:39in his head.
21:41What makes you think
21:42you're better than Serena?
21:43Sucking up to my mom?
21:44Playing pathetic
21:45so I'd pity you?
21:47Adrian finally saw
21:48through her.
21:49Every little thing
21:50he'd done for Bella
21:51had cut Serena deepest.
21:52And Bella was never
21:53some helpless step-sodder.
21:54She was a calculating parasite.
21:56You make me sick.
21:59More than that,
22:00I make myself sick
22:00for ever letting you
22:01get away with it.
22:05Get out of my house.
22:06Adrian, how can you say that?
22:08We went through the ritual.
22:09I'm your wife!
22:11She was still dreaming,
22:13thinking that ridiculous
22:14midnight bride-taking ritual
22:15could hold on to a man
22:16already losing his mind
22:17with regret.
22:19Shut up.
22:20It was all an act.
22:22Tomorrow,
22:22my lawyer cuts off
22:23every card tied to you
22:24and revokes your access
22:25to this apartment.
22:26Take your legal status
22:27and get out of my life.
22:29Bella went white.
22:30Her whole act fell apart.
22:32She dropped to the floor,
22:34finally realizing
22:35she was completely out.
22:36You'd better pray
22:37I find Serena.
22:38Otherwise,
22:39I'll make you pay back
22:40everything you stole from her
22:41these last three years
22:42with interest.
22:43While Adrian was drowning
22:44in regret,
22:45my career finally started
22:46to break through.
22:47With Luca's help,
22:48I locked down our hardest
22:49raw material supply line.
22:50After months of
22:51round-the-clock testing,
22:53Herbert Lee's first
22:53breakout soothing bomb
22:54was finally ready.
22:55We passed QC.
22:57Everything hit
22:57top-level standards.
22:58Aurora Pharmaceuticals
22:59procurement manager
23:00is very interested
23:00in our samples.
23:02Perfect.
23:03If we land this
23:04Aurora Pharmaceuticals order,
23:06Herbitalia will finally
23:07have a real foothold
23:07in Nova.
23:09Perfect.
23:10If we land this
23:11Aurora Pharmaceuticals order,
23:13Herbitalia will finally
23:14have a real foothold
23:14in Nova.
23:15I wasn't that fool
23:17wasting three years
23:17at the estate anymore.
23:18I was taking my fate
23:19into my own hands.
23:21But nothing came easy.
23:24I'm sorry,
23:25Miss Moretti.
23:25Your ointment
23:26is excellent,
23:27but we just got orders
23:28to stop all talks
23:29with Herbitalia.
23:30I knew exactly
23:31who was behind this.
23:32Carmen Russo.
23:33She thought she could
23:34choke off my resources,
23:35force me to bend,
23:36and prove I couldn't
23:37survive without them.
23:38Under the old Sicilian
23:40pact between the three families,
23:41the Moretti family
23:42has exclusive priority
23:43supply rights
23:44to all specialty spices.
23:45The core rights
23:46to the raw materials
23:47you're using
23:48are right here.
23:49Anyone who blacklists me
23:50loses their supply.
23:52Tell Carmen she played
23:53this Monopoly game wrong.
23:55I won that negotiation
23:57beautifully.
23:58Then, as we stepped out
23:59of Aurora Pharmaceuticals,
24:01it started to rain.
24:02You were never more beautiful
24:04than when you slapped
24:04that contract down.
24:06If Carmen really goes
24:07after us,
24:08aren't you afraid
24:09she'll drag
24:09the Romano family
24:10into it?
24:11The moment I carried you
24:12out of that estate,
24:13you became someone
24:14I protect.
24:15Anyone who touches you
24:16crosses the Romano family.
24:18He was controlled,
24:19strong and steady
24:20in a way
24:21that made me feel safe.
24:22What began as a contract
24:24became something real
24:25as we fought side by side.
24:30Three years flew by.
24:32In that time,
24:33I built Herb Atelier
24:34into one of Nova's
24:35best-known brands.
24:38Three years flew by.
24:39In that time,
24:40I built Herb Atelier
24:41into one of Nova's
24:42best-known brands.
24:43Serena's not this family's
24:45concern anymore.
24:46Those tea estates
24:47belong to Bella.
24:52Not this family's
24:53concern anymore?
24:54Vera, you forget
24:55whose name is still
24:56on this house.
24:57I threw the court's
24:58asset preservation order
24:59in Vera's face.
25:00Clean and final.
25:02With Luca beside me,
25:03I hit back hard.
25:04I protected everything
25:05my father built
25:06and pushed Vera and Bella
25:08out of the inner circle
25:08for good.
25:09No one will ever
25:10walk over me again.
25:15That fall,
25:16Nova welcomed its
25:17once-every-three-years
25:18Sicilian culture
25:19and artisan expo.
25:20But for some people,
25:21those three years
25:21had been a living hell.
25:23Adrian used every
25:23overseas contact
25:24he had to find me.
25:25But I changed my name,
25:27closed my old accounts,
25:28and vanished without a trace.
25:33Stop looking.
25:34It's been three years.
25:35If she wanted to see you,
25:36she would have shown up.
25:37You can't even find
25:38the name of that Romano bastard.
25:40How are you gonna find her?
25:45I lost her.
25:46I just want to tell her
25:47I'm sorry.
25:48But what good is sorry now?
25:50Once glass shatters,
25:51you can't make it whole again.
25:52Just when he'd given up,
25:54fate played one last
25:55cruel joke on him.
26:01I'm not that fragile girl
26:03who lived through a man anymore.
26:04I'm the woman
26:05running this brand.
26:12today's turn-out beat expectations.
26:14Carmen hasn't pulled anything else,
26:15has she?
26:16She's too busy
26:17cleaning up her own mess
26:17to bother with us.
26:18Ready for some big orders?
26:21At the other end of the expo,
26:23a dazed Adrian was practically
26:25dragged inside by Daniel.
26:27I'm not in the mood for this.
26:28I've got enough mess
26:29at the company already.
26:31Today's turn-out beat expectations.
26:33Carmen hasn't pulled anything else,
26:35has she?
26:35I'm not in the mood for this.
26:37I've got enough mess
26:37at the company already.
26:38Hey, when you can't
26:39rid the shit out you,
26:40I cheat the weeping on,
26:41hey?
26:42That's your presentation
26:43to lead with that one ourselves.
26:48Today's turn-out beat expectations.
26:51Carmen hasn't pulled anything else,
26:52has she?
26:53You've been shut in that office all day
26:55or at that empty estate
26:56waiting for someone who's gone?
26:58I heard this expo's got some good stuff.
27:01Come on, get some air.
27:03The expo hummed with noise
27:05as Adrian drifted past
27:07one booth after another.
27:08For three years,
27:10he'd searched everywhere.
27:11He never imagined I was right here,
27:14in the heart of the city
27:15he knew best.
27:17There's an herb booth over there
27:18with herbatelli on the sign.
27:20You want to check it out?
27:21The booth was mobbed.
27:23Behind it stood a man and a woman.
27:26The man was in a black shirt,
27:27head down, sorting herbs.
27:29And the woman?
27:32She wore a tailored Ingo suit,
27:34silver glimming in the sun.
27:36She was explaining something
27:37to a customer,
27:38smiling softly,
27:40perfectly composed.
27:42She was the woman he'd spent
27:43three years searching for.
27:45The booth was mobbed.
27:46Behind it stood a man and a woman.
27:48The man was in a black shirt,
27:49head down, sorting herbs.
27:50And the woman?
27:51She wore a tailored Ingo suit,
27:52silver glimming in the sun.
27:53She was explaining something
27:55to a customer,
27:55smiling softly,
27:56perfectly composed.
27:57She was the woman he'd spent
27:59three years searching for.
28:00The booth was mobbed.
28:01Behind it stood a man and a woman.
28:02The man was in a black shirt,
28:03head down, sorting herbs.
28:04And the woman?
28:05She wore a tailored Ingo suit,
28:06silver glimming a customer,
28:07smiling softly,
28:07perfectly composed.
28:08She was the woman he'd spent
28:09three years searching for.
28:11The noise around him dropped away
28:13All Adrian could hear was his own pounding heart
28:15As he stumbled up to the Herb Atelier booth
28:21Serena, it's me
28:22He thought I'd be shocked, angry, that I'd fall apart
28:25But I looked at him like he was just a stranger passing by
28:29Sir, do I know you?
28:30Sorry, I'm bad with faces, you are...
28:34I studied him for a few seconds
28:36Then looked like I finally recognized him
28:38There wasn't a hint of feeling in it
28:41Oh, Mr. Russo
28:42Long time no see, looking for any Herbs today?
28:45Adrian's shattered
28:46How could he stand me talking to him like that?
28:48He'd always believed my whole life revolved around him
28:53Stop pretending, you remember me
28:55Do you have any idea I've been losing my mind looking for you these past three years?
29:01Mr. Russo, running into her today doesn't give you the right to harass the person in charge here
29:08Luca, get the hell out of my way
29:10She's my wife
29:11Don't act like you give a damn
29:13If you hadn't taken her in the chaos that night, she wouldn't be here
29:18People started gathering around, whispering
29:20Adrian was losing it
29:22And Luca didn't even blink
29:25Mr. Russo, let me introduce you
29:27This is my wife, Serena
29:29The words hit Adrian like a bomb
29:31Blowing apart the last shred of fantasy he had left
29:34W-wife?
29:40No
29:40That ritual can't count
29:42It was a mistake
29:42He took the wrong woman in the dark
29:45Adrian's voice cracks
29:46The crowd starts murmuring louder
29:48As he stares at Luca and begs him in front of everyone
29:51Like it's his last chance
29:54Luca
29:55I'll give Bella back
29:56I'll give it all back
29:58Bella was the one you were supposed to take that night
30:00Give Serena back
30:01And we can start over, okay?
30:05He was begging for a do-over in public
30:07Passing women around like property
30:10He'd only ever cared about what he stood to lose
30:12Never about respecting anyone
30:16Start over?
30:18Adrian, do you think marriage is a game?
30:20You chose wrong, so now you get a do-over?
30:25Serena, let me explain
30:27That night it was just a mistake
30:30I cut off his pathetic excuses
30:32And threw the truth about that night in his face
30:35Every word went straight for the heart
30:37A mistake?
30:39Explain what?
30:40That you set Bella up to be carried out in the chaos
30:42So she could take my place?
30:43Or that you left me in her room
30:45To take the beating at the door for her?
30:46You think I wouldn't find out?
30:53You heard all that?
30:55How-
30:55Or explain the fake engagement papers
30:58You thought if I didn't cry or make a scene
31:01A few pieces of jewellery would shut me up?
31:03All you ever gave me was lies and contempt
31:06I saw through your whole plan that night
31:12Adrian's mouth fell open
31:13But nothing came out
31:15His carefully spun lie had been ripped apart in public
31:19Then Luca spoke and delivered the final blow
31:22You think I came for Bella?
31:24No
31:25My cousin was supposed to take her that night
31:28But he bailed at the last minute
31:32I went into that room to protect an innocent girl and hide her
31:36I wasn't there to take anyone
31:37Luca's words shattered Adrian's victim act
31:40It wasn't fate
31:41It was my choice all along
31:43Enough
31:44In old Sicilian families
31:46If the bride doesn't want it
31:47You can't carry her off
31:49If Serena hadn't wanted me
31:50She'd have thrown me out herself
31:52She chose me
31:53Clear-eyed and trusting
31:54We didn't take the wrong bride
31:56That's right
31:57I chose Luca
31:59That's the truth Adrian will never accept
32:01He thought I was taken from him
32:04I walked away
32:07No
32:08No, that's impossible
32:10Serena, you love me
32:11How could you choose someone else?
32:13Please, Serena, give me one more chance
32:15One more chance at the ritual
32:17Adrian, the midnight bride-taking ritual isn't a game
32:20You took the wrong bride
32:22That was fate
32:23Fate sent me with him, so I went
32:26I looked at the man who once crossed half the city just to bring me dessert
32:29And all I felt was pity
32:32He never valued what he had until he lost it
32:34You took Bella
32:35I married Luca
32:36We're even
32:37From now on, stay away from my husband
32:39And don't dirty up my booth
32:42I took Luca's arm
32:43Didn't look back
32:44And walked deeper into the booth
32:47Adrian stayed on his knees
32:48Hollowed out
32:50Rain drenched him
32:52Running down his face like that night outside the estate
32:56Let it pour
32:58It can't reach me anymore
33:00I know now
33:03Someone will always shield me
33:04And walk me
33:07Into a new life
33:10In the car, watching the rain blur outside
33:13I felt lighter than ever
33:15The old estate, the lies, all of it was finally washed away
33:19You were brave in there
33:20No one gets to use your past against you again
33:24I've let it go
33:26I paid for that chapter with a hard lesson
33:29Now I just want to make Herbitalia thrive
33:31Those three years changed me
33:34I stopped living off what others gave me
33:36And took control of my own life
33:39Adrian can stay trapped in the regret he built
33:41Suffering in it every day
33:45A few days after the expo
33:47Aurora Pharmaceuticals Procurement Director came in person
33:50And signed Herbitalia's biggest long-term supply contract yet
33:57Pleasure doing business with you, Miss Moretti
33:59Your bomb's been a huge hit
34:01And we're excited to work with you on a deeper level
34:05The second that contract was signed
34:07I knew I'd finally secured my place in Nova
34:12I didn't have to answer to Carmen anymore
34:14Or fear the Russo family
34:18Congratulations, boss
34:19You've basically taken over half the city
34:22This isn't just my win
34:25It's ours
34:27Thank you for standing by me
34:31Thinking back to that chaotic midnight bride
34:33Taking ritual three years ago
34:35If I'd fought harder
34:36Or if I'd forgiven them
34:38I'd probably still be that stand-in in the mansion
34:41Living on their mercy
34:43Fate rewards the ones who know when to walk away
34:48The Russo family wasn't doing any better
34:52Carmen sank a fortune into cutting off my supply lines
34:55And it backfired
34:56Even the family board turned on her
34:58Your personal vendetta has left us
35:01At a complete disadvantage in the spice market
35:05Adrian, as CEO, you bear full responsibility
35:09He had no fight left
35:12That break in the rain took the last of it out of him
35:18He knew nothing he did would bring back the girl
35:21Who once only had eyes for him
35:22She's just that little stray from the hillside estate
35:25And you let her scare you off?
35:28But no one listened to her anymore
35:31When money was on the line
35:33Her arrogance meant nothing
35:36After the meeting
35:37Adrian walked out alone
35:39He finally understood he'd lost more than a wife
35:42He'd lost the only light in his life
35:45It was another perfect weekend in Nova
35:48Luca and I were at the Chamber of Commerce charity gala
35:51By now I could stand shoulder to shoulder
35:53With Nova's business elite
35:57Then I caught a familiar face out of the corner of my eye
36:02I heard Adrian threw her out
36:04She refused to crawl back to the old estate
36:06So she started working every angle in Nova
36:09But without the Russo family behind her
36:12Her little schemes stand a chance with predators like these
36:18She thought stealing Adrian meant stealing my life
36:23What she never understood was that
36:26My pride and my footing never came from any man
36:30She's not even worth mocking anymore
36:33Ignoring her says more than enough
36:37You were the center of attention tonight
36:39Everyone wanted to know what Herbert Tudier is launching next
36:42That's all your credit
36:44You built the channels
36:46Looking out at the city lights
36:47I felt a peace I'd never known
36:50I used to think my world was just that old estate and a fake engagement
36:54But once I stepped out of it
36:55I saw how wide the world really was
36:58There is no probing
36:59No deception in this kiss
37:01Only full respect and chairination
37:04I finally found the person who is willing to hold me dearest to his heart
37:08One morning a few years later
37:10I was at the Bensau Workshop headquarters
37:12Signing off on the final M&A deal of the year
37:15The Moretti family herbal business
37:17Has not only reclaimed its former glory
37:19But has also grown into the most prestigious brand across Nova
37:23And the entire East Coast
37:24And every so often
37:26I'd still hear Adrian's name
37:29I heard he sold the mansion
37:30And moved back alone to the old house in the country
37:35Every day he drank and stared at old photos
37:38He spent a lifetime tasting the bitter fruit
37:41Of that absurd bride-snatching ritual
37:44Babe, you all done with work?
37:45It's time to take a break
37:47The pain was long gone
37:49And on that sunlit morning
37:51I stepped into the bright future
37:53That was finally mine
37:54It's time to drawـ assignsья
37:55And don't stop
