FunTranscript
00:04Luka Moretti, heir to one of New York's five families, had been drugged by a rival family.
00:14In the chaos that followed, I spent the night with him.
00:17That one night was all it took for me to get pregnant.
00:20I had barely made it home with a test report when Luka appeared at my door with his men.
00:24My best friend, Madison Clark, recognized him immediately.
00:31Elena, you can't have this child.
00:34The Moretti family will only see you as a broodmare.
00:37You can't sell your body to them for money.
00:40Just as I was about to take her advice, I suddenly heard the voice of the baby inside me.
00:45Not this again. Is Mommy really going to make the same stupid mistake twice?
00:49What?
00:51Last time, Mommy listened to her friend and turned down $50 million.
00:56After I was born, we barely had enough food or clothes.
00:59In the end, Daddy's first love had me killed.
01:02Wait.
01:04Luka was going to give me $50 million?
01:06Then I was having this baby.
01:08I was absolutely keeping her.
01:10If you take their money and have a baby for the Morettis,
01:14then how are you any different from a brood hair they paid for?
01:17The moment Madison finished speaking, the baby's voice returned.
01:20Seriously?
01:21Only Mommy would listen to something that stupid.
01:23Last time, Mommy didn't even give Daddy a chance to pull out the check.
01:28You threw him out right away.
01:31I pushed Madison aside and caught Luka just as he was about to leave.
01:36Luka, what exactly were the terms you mentioned before?
01:39He studied me for several seconds.
01:41Then he took a cashier's check from the family lawyer and held it out to me.
01:46$50 million up front for this pregnancy.
01:49The Moretti family will cover all medical, living, and security expenses.
01:53If you safely deliver a healthy baby, you'll receive another $50 million.
01:58Madison stared at the cashier's check with open envy, her voice turning urgent.
02:02Elena, tell him to leave.
02:04Don't let him think he can humiliate you with money.
02:07I looked at the amount printed on the check and swallowed.
02:10My parents were ordinary farmers in upstate New York.
02:13To put me through college, they had mortgaged the farm and taken out substantial bank loans.
02:18Even now, they were losing sleep over the monthly payments.
02:21If $50 million was what humiliation looked like, I would happily be humiliated every day of the week.
02:28I had no idea why the baby said I had turned down the check the last time around.
02:33This time, however, I reached out and took it without hesitation.
02:37Luca, you don't have to worry.
02:38I'll keep the pregnancy confidential and cooperate with any doctors the Moretti family arranges.
02:43Once the baby is born, I'll hand her over to the Moretti family, exactly as agreed.
02:48How did Mommy suddenly start making the right decisions?
02:52The Moretti men all have hereditary fertility issues.
02:56Their viability is incredibly low.
02:58The fact that Daddy managed to have a baby at all is basically a miracle.
03:02Besides, Grandpa's always wanted a granddaughter.
03:04If Mommy handles this right, the Morettis will definitely treat her well.
03:09Elena, you have no self-respect at all!
03:11You're actually selling yourself for money!
03:13I immediately ducked behind Luca.
03:17This is my child.
03:18Of course I'm keeping her.
03:21And I want her to have the best possible life from the moment she's born.
03:24Madison tried to rush at me again.
03:26The two soldiers, stationed outside the door, stepped into the room at once.
03:31They seized Madison by the arms and dragged her out.
03:34Luca watched them take her away, his eyes utterly cold.
03:37People like that aren't real friends.
03:39Stay away from her from now on.
03:41Way to go, Daddy!
03:43Too bad Mommy used to have fewer than two functioning brain cells.
03:46I silently answered her in my head.
03:48Baby, that's enough trash talk.
03:50I'll move out tomorrow.
03:51I won't contact Madison again, and I won't let anyone dangerous near the baby.
03:56Luca nodded in satisfaction.
03:57I looked up at him and cautiously pushed my luck.
04:00If you don't mind, could I rent a place closer to you?
04:03That way, the Moretti family can check on the baby whenever they want.
04:06Luca frowned.
04:08His gaze swept over my cramped, shabby rental before settling on my stomach.
04:13Pack your things.
04:15You'll move into the get house beside the Moretti estate.
04:18That will make it easier for my mother to visit you.
04:21Instead of leaving after he finished speaking, he lingered against the doorframe.
04:25He was tall, and his black shirt hugged his torso, hinting at the hard lines of muscle underneath.
04:31My heart skipped a beat.
04:33I lowered my gaze and rested a hand on my stomach.
04:35Don't worry, my baby.
04:37I won't just make sure you have enough to eat.
04:39I'll make sure you grow up safe.
04:40I'll make you the happiest little girl in the world.
04:43That same afternoon, I moved into the guest house beside the Moretti estate with two battered
04:48suitcases.
04:49Luca stood in the doorway and calmly laid out the ground rules.
04:52You'll go to the private medical center once a week.
04:55The obstetrist, nutritionist, and nursing team are already in place.
05:00You are not to leave the estate alone without clearance from the security team.
05:04I nodded in agreement.
05:05As soon as Luca left, I threw myself onto the $80,000 handmade mattress.
05:10My body sank into its softness.
05:12Then the baby's voice returned.
05:14And here I thought mommy had finally gotten smarter.
05:17The moment she gets the money, all she can think about is eating and sleeping.
05:21She hasn't prepared for anything.
05:23She'll eat whatever she wants until her weight gets completely out of control.
05:28Then the Morelli family will decide she can't even take care of herself, much less a baby.
05:33She'll regret it then.
05:34By the time daddy's first love, Sloane, shows up, mommy will be laughed right out of the room.
05:40I bolted upright.
05:41If the baby was working this hard to warn me, I couldn't let her down.
05:45I took out my phone and booked the most reputable prenatal yoga program in the city.
05:50Then I hired a maternity nutrition team to plan my daily meals according to the doctor's reports.
05:55Exercise had to remain part of my routine.
05:58My weight had to stay within the range recommended by the doctor.
06:02My clothes and appearance couldn't be neglected either.
06:04I hired a makeup artist who worked with film actresses as well as a personal stylist.
06:10I even asked the family to arrange an etiquette instructor familiar with the customs of the old line families.
06:16The baby cooperated too.
06:18I experienced almost none of the usual discomforts of pregnancy.
06:22Every morning I woke naturally and well rested and my complexion improved by the day.
06:27Two weeks later, Luca returned to the guest house.
06:29I had just finished my etiquette lesson for the day.
06:32I was wearing a pale maternity dress selected by my stylist and the makeup artist had done my hair and
06:38makeup.
06:38When Luca entered, I stood the way I had been taught and greeted him with quiet composure.
06:44His eyes visibly brightened when he saw me, but he quickly concealed his reaction.
06:49What happened between us was an accident.
06:52All you need to do is take care of yourself and deliver the baby safely.
06:56Don't read more into this than there is.
06:58Not with me or with the Moretti family.
07:01Hmph. Daddy is such a liar.
07:03Mommy is the first woman Daddy has ever been with.
07:06His heart is already starting to often towards her.
07:09I smiled without moving any closer to him, keeping my voice calm.
07:14You're the one reading too much into it.
07:17I don't expect anything from you.
07:19I simply want to look presentable enough that no one will mock the baby because of me.
07:24Luca studied me for a long moment.
07:26The suspicion in his eyes hadn't disappeared completely.
07:29But there was now a hint of appreciation alongside it.
07:33Just as he was about to speak, laughter drifted in from behind him.
07:40Luca's mother, Aviana Moretti, entered the room.
07:43I just spoke to the medical center.
07:46The doctor says the baby is developing beautifully and all of Elena's results are stable.
07:51Smiling warmly, Aviana approached me and took an antique emerald bracelet from the jewelry
07:56box carried by her maid.
07:58She slipped it onto my wrist herself.
08:00The Morelli men have always struggled with fertility.
08:03Both my husband and Luca were conceived only after years of treatment.
08:08If you can give the Moretti family a healthy child can seize naturally, we will not treat
08:14you unfairly.
08:16Grandma is here.
08:18Daddy is always understanding Mommy, but Grandma has always treated her well.
08:23Mommy didn't understand that last time.
08:26She was so determined to prove she didn't care about money that she actually threw the bracelet
08:30at Grandma.
08:31Grandma never warmed up to her after that.
08:35I had no idea where to look, baby.
08:37I don't know why the other version of me would have done something like that, but I
08:41would never do it now.
08:42I gave Aviana a gentle smile and lightly took her hand.
08:48Mrs. Moretti, as a mother, I would take responsibility for my child even without any of these gifts.
08:53Luca has already arranged the best possible home, doctors, and security team for me.
08:58This bracelet is far too valuable.
09:01I can't accept it.
09:02She pressed her hand over mine, preventing me from removing the bracelet.
09:06I assumed that any woman willing to accept this arrangement would only be interested in
09:10the money.
09:12But you're far more sensible than I expected.
09:15Emotion tightened my throat.
09:17Gathering my courage, I pulled Aviana into a hug.
09:21This baby is fortunate to have a grandmother like you.
09:25After she's born, I'll hand her over to the Moretti family, just as we agreed.
09:30Even if I can't see her very often afterward, knowing that you'll protect her will be enough
09:35for me.
09:35By the time I finished, my head had fallen, and tears were rolling down my cheeks.
09:40Then she raised her arms and gently hugged me back.
09:42You will always be her mother.
09:44No one in the Moretti family will prevent you from seeing her.
09:50I told you not to entertain any expectations that don't belong here.
09:55I never said you wouldn't be allowed to see the baby after she was born.
09:59You may come and go from the Moretti estate whenever you wish.
10:02The security team will not stop you.
10:04Apparently, the way I had handled things had won Mrs. Moretti over.
10:08It had also earned me unrestricted access to the Moretti estate.
10:11The baby sounded genuinely puzzled.
10:14How did mommy suddenly get so smart?
10:18After learning about all the foolish mistakes I had made in my previous life,
10:22I became determined not to repeat them.
10:25Over the next few months, I made every effort to show the Moretti family
10:28that I would take proper care of the baby and cause them no trouble.
10:33Aviana and I got along wonderfully and she accompanied me to the private medical center
10:37for my examination every week.
10:39With guidance from Aviana and my stylist,
10:42I gradually learned the family's dress codes and social customs.
10:46My private tailor prepared outfits for every kind of occasion.
10:50Before each dinner, my etiquette instructor told me who would be attending
10:53and which subjects I should avoid.
10:55When my parents came down from upstate New York to visit me,
10:59they barely recognized me.
11:00We had originally agreed to keep the pregnancy confidential.
11:04Aviana, however, was preparing for the baby so openly that word soon spread.
11:09Before long, the New York underworld and several of the old line families
11:13had heard that Luca was about to have a child.
11:15Some people were even whispering that he intended to marry the baby's mother.
11:19Everyone who had once mocked Luca for being unable to father a child fell silent.
11:24After that, Luca began visiting the guest house more often.
11:27The baby, while doing her best not to grow too quickly, began imagining our future.
11:33At this rate, as long as Sloane doesn't come back,
11:36Daddy will admit he has feelings for Mommy sooner or later.
11:40But that very afternoon, just as I was about to leave the guest house,
11:43a black sedan pulled up outside.
11:46A young woman in a custom-tailored suit stepped out.
11:49Diamond earrings glittered at her ears,
11:51and several soldiers from the Bellini family followed behind her.
11:54She walked straight toward me and blocked my path.
11:58Her gaze traveled over me from head to toe without a trace of warmth.
12:03So you're the gold-digging shit who slept with Luca while he was drugged
12:06and now thinks she can trap him with a baby?
12:09We're finished.
12:11Sloane came back after all.
12:13She's Daddy's childhood sweetheart and first love,
12:16as well as the Bellini family's only daughter.
12:18No one is better at playing the helpless victim than she is.
12:21How is Mommy supposed to compete with her now?
12:24After hearing the baby's warning, I smiled to myself.
12:27So Sloane liked playing the helpless victim?
12:31Fine. Two could play that game.
12:34I curled one hand protectively over my stomach and stumbled back several steps.
12:38Whatever problem you have with me, take it out on me.
12:41Please don't hurt Luca's baby.
12:43My words only made Sloane angrier.
12:45She stepped forward and struck me sharply across the face.
12:48Then she threw a stack of photographs at my feet.
12:52Stop pretending!
12:53I've uncovered every dirty scheme you've ever pulled.
12:56Wait, what?
12:58Sloane never did this to Mommy in front of witnesses last time.
13:02She only threatened and alliliated Mommy when they were alone.
13:05Is she afraid because Mommy is smarter this time?
13:09Listening to the baby, I understood what I needed to do.
13:13I don't know what I've done wrong.
13:15If hitting me will make you feel better, then go ahead.
13:18Just don't hurt the baby.
13:20Ah! Daddy is right behind her!
13:23Daddy, hurry and save Mommy!
13:24Seeing Sloane's face reddened with rage, I decided to take the gamble.
13:28Sloane raised her hand again.
13:29I bit my lip and let my body tremble.
13:32The second slap never came.
13:33Sloane, what are you doing?
13:36He strode toward us.
13:37Shoving Sloane aside, he crouched beside me and gathered me protectively into his arms.
13:43Sloane stared at him in disbelief.
13:46You put your hands on me for this piece of trailer, Rudge?
13:50Luca didn't even look at her.
13:51He raised one hand and gently touched the red mark on my cheek.
13:55Where else did she hurt you?
13:57When Sloane realized that Luca was no longer going to take her side unconditionally, she completely lost her composure.
14:05Luca, I came back because I was worried someone had set you up.
14:08The circumstances surrounding your drug-aiding were far too suspicious.
14:12I spent a fortune hiring a private investigator to find out what happened that night.
14:17I believe Elena orchestrated the entire thing.
14:21She hired someone to drug you and then approached you while your judgment was compromised.
14:27Once she was pregnant, she could trap you with a baby and force her way into the Marotti family.
14:32Mommy did no such thing.
14:34Those are all lies.
14:36Sloane, you witch.
14:38Daddy will never believe you.
14:41Luca narrowed his eyes.
14:42He brought his foot down hard on the photographs lying on the ground.
14:47I've already investigated what happened.
14:49The person who drugged me was hired by a rival family.
14:52They wanted my judgment compromised before a negotiation.
14:55Everyone involved has already been thrown into the ocean as shark bait.
14:59Don't tell me you came all the way back just to smear Elena with this garbage.
15:03Sloane clearly hadn't expected Luca to have already uncovered the truth.
15:07I was just beginning to relax when she pulled another stack of photographs from her handbag.
15:14None of that proves she can be trusted.
15:17Look at the kind of woman she used to be.
15:19She was constantly going to nightclubs and behaving intimately with different men.
15:25That baby cannot possibly be yours.
15:28Luca lowered his gaze.
15:29The photographs showed me embracing and kissing several men I didn't recognize.
15:33His expression darkened instantly.
15:36That's impossible.
15:37I'm Daddy and Mommy's baby.
15:39Sloane is lying.
15:40Mommy, explain.
15:40Don't let Daddy believe that awful woman.
15:43I don't know any of those men.
15:45These photographs are fake.
15:46I've never even dated anyone.
15:48Sloane immediately slipped her arm through Luca's.
15:50She pressed herself close to him,
15:52as though deliberately reminding me that they had known each other for years.
15:57Getting pregnant after one night together is awfully convenient.
16:01Don't you think?
16:02Sloane turned her gaze on me.
16:03If you insist the baby is Luca's, then take a prenatal paternity test.
16:08Inside me, the baby stirred angrily.
16:10Do it.
16:11Don't be afraid, Mommy.
16:13I'll be fine.
16:14We'll prove it to her.
16:17Fine.
16:20I'm six months pregnant.
16:22We can do an amnioceptius.
16:24I'll take the Pernity test and prove that the baby is Luca's.
16:28But once the results come back, no matter what they say, I'll move out of the Moretti estate.
16:32Even if the baby is Luca's, I still won't come between you and Sloane.
16:36You can relax.
16:38I have never wanted to take a place that didn't belong to me.
16:42My voice remained steady, but the tears continued rolling down my cheeks.
16:46Luca watched me.
16:47Unmistakable pain and concern filling his eyes, Sloane wanted nothing more than to erase me from existence.
16:53But she could no longer stop the test.
16:56All she could do was watch as Luca lifted me into his arms and personally carried me to the private
17:01medical center.
17:02News of the paternity test spread quickly through the Moretti family.
17:06Even Don Octavian Moretti immediately flew back from another city.
17:10He entered the medical center leaning on his cane.
17:12The moment he saw Luca, he struck the floor with it in fury.
17:16Luca, have you lost all judgment?
17:19You're making a woman who is six months pregnant undergo an amnua texmas because of a few obviously doctored photographs?
17:27I immediately stepped in front of Luca.
17:29Don Moretti, this isn't Luca's fault.
17:32Taking the test was my decision.
17:34Once the results are available, the rumors surrounding Luca and the baby will stop.
17:38Luca looked at me, unable to conceal his reluctance.
17:42Since when does the Moretti family owe anyone an explanation for idle gossip?
17:46Undergoing an amnioprexry at six months puts both you and the baby at risk.
17:50I'm not afraid. Just get on with it.
17:53Once the results are out, Sloane's innocent princess mask will finally come off.
17:57Under Sloane's smug gaze, I lay down on the examination table.
18:01When the needle pierced my abdomen, my entire body trembled with pain.
18:05After the procedure, the doctor instructed me to remain at the medical center for observation.
18:10Supporting my lower back with one hand, I walked slowly out of the examination room.
18:15But the moment I entered the hallway, I saw Sloane leading Luca away.
18:19Luca didn't look back.
18:20The baby cried out in outrage.
18:23How could Daddy do that?
18:25Mommy is still bleeding, but he didn't even look at her.
18:28He just left with slowing.
18:30When those results come back, he's going to regret this.
18:33He had better get down on his knees and beg Mommy to forgive him.
18:36I managed a weak smile, but the unease inside me continued to grow.
18:40Could I really change Sloane's place in Luca's heart on my own?
18:43The following day, Aviana was so upset on my behalf that she personally brought me into the Moretti estate.
18:50She ordered her private chef to prepare an enormous meal and insisted that I recover in the main house.
18:56Elena, once the results come back, I'll make this right and it...
18:59The results are in!
19:01The baby Elena is carrying isn't Luca's.
19:12I felt the blood in my veins turn to ice.
19:15The baby and I cried out at the same time.
19:18That's impossible!
19:20My body locked in place, every trace of color draining from my face.
19:24Sloane strode toward me.
19:27You really thought a cheap trick like this would get you into the Moretti family?
19:31Trash will always be trash.
19:33No matter how expensive your clothes are, you will never be one of us!
19:37I knew from the beginning that this was all some elaborate con.
19:40Thank God I came back in time to expose you for Luca.
19:45Otherwise, the Moretti family might actually have been deceived into accepting a child of unknown parentage!
19:51My knees suddenly gave way.
19:52Just as I was about to collapse, Aviana caught me.
19:55All her usual warmth had disappeared.
19:57She fixed Sloane with an icy stare.
20:00Where did this report come from?
20:03The DNA laboratory, obviously.
20:05Sloane opened the report.
20:06I paid a rush fee to have the test expedited.
20:10Take a good look.
20:12The baby Elena is carrying has no biological relation to Luca whatsoever.
20:17The test result was printed plainly on the report.
20:19A chill seemed to roll off Luca in an instant.
20:23Don Octavian Moretti frowned, his expression turning grave.
20:28The household staff gathered around the room began murmuring among themselves.
20:32She's nothing but a gold-digging slut.
20:34Who tried to use a pregnancy to force her way into the family.
20:37She doesn't even know who fathered her child.
20:39How could she possibly compare to Sloane?
20:43Luca hates being deceived more than anything.
20:45This woman is not going to meet a pleasant end.
20:49Elena, I'd love to hear how you plan to explain this.
20:52Then she turned to Luca.
20:53Throw her out of the Moretti estate!
20:54Right now!
20:55And make her repay every dollar Luca has spent on her.
21:00Every last cent.
21:02If she comes up even one dollar short, have the soldiers take her down to the basement.
21:07The Moretti family has plenty of ways to make her pay.
21:10But Luca didn't move.
21:12He continued staring at the report.
21:14My scalp prickled with fear.
21:16Luca couldn't actually believe it.
21:18Then Aviana slammed her palm against the table.
21:20I commissioned this test.
21:22I paid for it in full.
21:24The DNA laboratory was authorized to release the result.
21:27Only to me and the family lawyer.
21:30Aviana's eyes bored into Sloane.
21:33So why haven't I heard a single word from them?
21:36While you're standing here waving the report around?
21:38Sloane clearly hadn't thought that far ahead.
21:40Her expression froze.
21:42I...
21:42Someone left the report at my front door.
21:45I assumed my private investigator had managed to obtain the result ahead of time.
21:49I didn't examine it closely.
21:50I brought it here as soon as I received it.
21:53Sloane quickly rearranged her expression into one of wounded innocence.
21:57I did all of this to protect you.
21:59Luca, you know I would never hurt you.
22:03Elena is the one who has been using you this entire time.
22:06Luca first looked at me, taking in the complete lack of color in my face.
22:10Then he lowered his gaze and carefully examined the report.
22:13Didn't take him long to find what he was looking for.
22:15The laboratory seal is in the wrong position.
22:17The report uses two different fonts.
22:19There's no case ID and no chain of custody code.
22:22This report is a fergery.
22:24The corner of Sloane's mouth twitched unnaturally.
22:26Luca exchanged a grave look with Aviana before handing the report to the family lawyer.
22:30The lawyer immediately called the DNA laboratory.
22:33A few minutes later, he returned to the living room.
22:36The DNA laboratory has confirmed that they are still processing the samples.
22:39The official result will not be ready until noon the day after tomorrow.
22:42To prevent anyone else from presenting another forged report,
22:46we will go to the DNA laboratory in person the day after tomorrow.
22:50Once the result is ready, we'll open the sealed envelope in front of everyone.
22:54That way, no one will be able to frame Alina again.
22:58Sloane's face rapidly turned red.
22:59She stood there, unable to say another word.
23:02The baby squirmed happily inside me.
23:06No wonder Grandpa and Daddy didn't say anything.
23:09They had already noticed something was wrong with the report.
23:12Sloane thought she was so clever, but she ended up exposing herself instead.
23:18The baby was thrilled.
23:20I, however, couldn't relax.
23:22Sloane wasn't going to let this go so easily.
23:25Even though the Moretti family had caught her presenting a forged report,
23:29she was still the only daughter of the Bellini family.
23:32She and Luca had grown up together.
23:34She had the Bellini name, wealth, and connections.
23:37I was nothing more than an ordinary woman from a small farm
23:40with no standing among any of the families.
23:43Even when I was being falsely accused,
23:45all I could do was hold back my tears and stand quietly to one side.
23:48I lowered my head, not daring to look at anyone in the room.
23:53Aviana took my hand.
23:54A perfectly good dinner. Ruined.
23:57Elena, you're staying in my suite tonight.
24:00I'll have two of my private chefs prepare another dinner for you.
24:04She shot Sloane an impatient look,
24:06Afraid that I might turn Aviana against her in private,
24:09Sloane hurried after us.
24:11Aviana! I did this for Luca.
24:13When I saw the report, I didn't have time to think.
24:16I came straight here.
24:17I never meant to deceive any of you with a forged report.
24:19Who's to say Elena didn't arrange this entire thing?
24:23Maybe she was the one who had the forged report delivered to my door.
24:26She knew I would bring it here.
24:28Then, once all of you discovered it was fake,
24:31she could continue playing the victim and win everyone's sympathy.
24:35You can't let her fool you.
24:38Aviana's eyes turned glacial.
24:40It was the first time I had seen such sharp anger on her face.
24:43Before she could say a word, Luca stepped in front of me.
24:46Sloane, have you finished?
24:48His voice rang through the room, startled.
24:51Sloane froze in place.
24:52Aviana regarded her with open disappointment.
24:55Sloane, I always believed you were a kind woman who knew how to respect other people.
25:03Now I can see that it was all an act.
25:06I was wrong about you.
25:09Aviana took my hand and turned toward the household staff gathered around the room.
25:13Elena is the mother of my future granddaughter.
25:16Everyone who helped Sloane humiliant her today is to leave the Miradia state immediately.
25:21If your loyalties lie with the Bologna family, then you may go and work for them.
25:25The staff members who had been sneering at me only moments before went pale,
25:29they began apologizing at once, begging Aviana not to dismiss them.
25:33Aviana refused to change her mind.
25:35She turned to Don Octavian.
25:36If Luca's father weren't occupied with matters overseas,
25:40he never would have allowed outsiders to humiliate Elena inside the Miradia state.
25:45Don Octavian nodded.
25:46From the moment Sloane produced the forged report, I hadn't argued or tried to attack anyone.
25:51When Don Octavian looked at me again, there was something new in his eyes.
25:55A trace of approval.
25:56Then Don Octavian turned his attention to Sloane.
25:58I have tolerated you all these years because your grandfather and I have known each other for a very long
26:03time.
26:04But you would do well to remember one thing.
26:07An old friendship does not give you permission to harm my family.
26:11If you hurt Elena or the child again, the Bellini family will not be able to protect you.
26:16No one ignored a warning from a Don Sloane bit her lip, unwilling to accept the situation.
26:21But she had no choice except to remain silent.
26:24Having Aviana protect me so openly already meant more than I could express.
26:28The baby, however, was still fixated on making Luca get down on his knees and apologize to me.
26:33Suddenly, she kicked hard.
26:35Mommy, I'm sorry. I'm only trying to help.
26:37That single kick seemed to use up all her strength.
26:40A wave of sharp pain tore through my abdomen.
26:43I couldn't stop the cry that escaped me.
26:45My vision rapidly went black.
26:47All the strength left my body.
26:48And I felt myself falling backward.
26:50I normally wasn't this weak.
26:51But I had undergone the amniocentesis only the day before.
26:55I hadn't slept at all during the night.
26:57Then Sloane's forged report had subjected me to one emotional shock after another.
27:02When the baby suddenly began moving so violently, my body finally reached its limit.
27:06As my consciousness faded, I felt myself fall into a pair of warm arms.
27:10Through my darkening vision, I saw panic on Luca's face.
27:13He held me tightly, the veins standing out along his forearms.
27:16Get the medical team!
27:18Bring the car around!
27:19Now!
27:20Luca turned towards Sloane.
27:21If anything happens to Elena or the baby, there will be nowhere for you to hide.
27:28Aviana had lost her composure as well.
27:30She wept as she wiped helplessly at her tears.
27:33I said from the beginning that an amniocrasomy would put Elena and the baby at risk.
27:39This test never should have happened.
27:41Why didn't you stop her?
27:43Why didn't you tell her directly that you believed her?
27:46If you hadn't kept indulging Sloane, Elena never would have had to endure any of this.
27:51Every word Aviana spoke deepened the guilt on Luca's face.
27:54Just before I lost consciousness completely, I heard the baby give a secret little laugh.
27:59Now, if Daddy wants Mommy back, he'll have to get down on his knees and beg her to forgive him.
28:06When I opened my eyes again, the first thing I saw was Luca's guilt-stricken face.
28:10The moment he realized I was awake, he took my hand.
28:15How are you feeling?
28:18Are you in pain anywhere?
28:20I'll get the doctor right now.
28:22Still dazed, I shook my head.
28:23Then I immediately lowered my gaze to my stomach.
28:26Thank God.
28:27The baby was still there.
28:28Sensing that I was awake, she stirred gently.
28:31Mommy, I'm so sorry.
28:33That kick was too hard.
28:34You've been unconscious for two whole days.
28:37You didn't get to see it, but Daddy stayed beside your bed the entire time.
28:41Daddy even got down on his knees beside your bed.
28:44Oh, a lot of other things have happened over the past two days, too.
28:48Luca began explaining as well.
28:49The official paternity test result came back this morning.
28:52Every immediate member of the Moretti family went to the DNA laboratory.
28:56The sealed report was opened in front of all of us.
28:59My heart plummeted.
29:00I was so nervous that I didn't know what to ask first.
29:03At that moment, the door to the hospital room opened.
29:06Aviana walked in.
29:07I said from the beginning that there was no reason to doubt Alayza.
29:10She and the baby endured so much unnecessary pain because of a test that never should have happened.
29:15Aviana came to my bedside.
29:17She looked at me, a smile finally returning to her face.
29:20The paternity test has confirmed that the baby is a Moretti.
29:24The results also indicate that the baby is almost certainly a girl.
29:28Pleased, Aviana gently stroked my forehead.
29:31Luca was in the wrong this time.
29:34To welcome his great-granddaughter and to apologize to you, Don Octavian has already purchased an apartment building.
29:41Once the baby is born, that building will be her welcome gift.
29:45I blinked slowly.
29:46Had I heard her correctly?
29:47An entire apartment building?
29:49That meant the baby would never have to lift a finger.
29:52The rental income alone would allow her to live in extraordinary comfort.
29:56And as her mother, I would probably benefit from it too.
29:59The unexpected gift sent my blood pressure soaring.
30:02For a moment, I thought I might pass out all over again.
30:06At that critical moment, the baby remained calmer than I did.
30:09She stirred gently, reminding me,
30:11Mommy is far too easy to impress.
30:15It's only one apartment building, and she's already about to faint.
30:19What is she going to do if Grandpa and Grandpa give me a satellite someday?
30:23I swallowed hard and forced out a smile.
30:26Mrs. Moretti, I don't know what to say.
30:30Thank you for wanting to give this baby such a wonderful life.
30:36I don't know how I could ever repay you.
30:38I tried to push myself upright so that I could thank Aviana properly.
30:42Watching me, Luca couldn't help smiling.
30:44When I awkwardly attempted to pull my hand out of his, his gaze darkened.
30:48The next moment, his fingers tightened around mine.
30:51This time, he didn't let go.
30:52Aviana looked at our joined hands and gave us a knowing smile.
30:57We're all family.
30:59There's no need to be so formal.
31:01I froze.
31:02Family?
31:02Was the Moretti family no longer planning to give me the agreed hundred million dollars
31:07and send me away after the baby was born?
31:09Aviana continued.
31:11The fact that you were able to conceive Luca's child at all proves that the connection between
31:15the two of you is deeper than anyone imagined.
31:18Perhaps you were always meant to be together.
31:20The atmosphere in the hospital room abruptly became charged with tension.
31:24My ears began to burn.
31:26Aviana glanced at Luca, clearly preparing to leave the two of us alone.
31:30Then the door to the room was kicked open.
31:32A gray-haired old man entered, flanked by several Bellini soldiers.
31:36Sloane followed beside him, her face filled with anger.
31:40The man was none other than the head of the Bellini family.
31:43Don Matthew Bellini.
31:44Don Bellini pointed his cane at me.
31:45Avelia, have you lost your judgment?
31:52Did any of you investigate this woman's background?
31:55Do you have any idea how worthless she is?
31:59Her parents run a tiny dairy farm in the countryside.
32:01She has no family connections and no distinguished bloodline.
32:04A woman like her has no right to bear the Moretti name.
32:09Sloane is the only woman suited to become Luca's wife.
32:12If you agree to a marriage alliance between the Moretti and Bellini families,
32:15Sloane is willing to accept the child.
32:17She will raise the girl as her own daughter.
32:19And our Sloane will give the Morettis a son.
32:21An heir.
32:22Don Bellini swept his gaze around the room.
32:24When his sharp eyes landed on me, they narrowed into a vicious glare.
32:28But if the Moretti family insists on choosing this woman,
32:32every business arrangement and territorial agreement
32:35between the Bellonis and the Morettis ends today.
32:38The baby gave a dismissive scoff.
32:40Sloane always kept Daddy at a distance.
32:43She never wanted to be with him.
32:45She simply enjoyed having him chase after her.
32:48Now that she realizes Daddy might be in love with Mommy,
32:51she first uses a forged report to frame Mommy,
32:53and then she brings her own grandfather here to force Daddy into marrying her.
32:57Does she really believe this will make Daddy surrender?
33:00The more stunts she pulls, the more clearly Daddy sees what she's really like.
33:04Besides, Grandma and Grandpa aren't going to be frightened by the Bellini family.
33:08The Moretti family isn't going to collapse just because the Bellomas walk away.
33:13Threatening the Morettis by cutting ties with them?
33:15Please.
33:16As I listened to the baby, the tension in my chest gradually eased.
33:20She was right.
33:21During my time with the Morettis,
33:23I had learned that Aviana was not a woman who could be easily threatened.
33:26Luca had managed the family alongside his father and grandfather for years.
33:31He would never allow someone else to make his decisions for him.
33:35By having Don Bellini intervene and force the marriage,
33:38Sloane would only destroy whatever feelings Luca still had for her.
33:42Besides, I wasn't yet in a position to speak in a confrontation like this.
33:46I deliberately made myself look frightened and drew the blanket higher around me.
33:50With only my eyes visible, I silently watched them.
33:54Luca, however, believed I was genuinely afraid.
33:57His expression darkened immediately.
33:59Who allowed you into this room?
34:01You're frightening Elena and the baby.
34:04Where is the security team assigned to this floor?
34:06If you can't even stop unauthorized visitors,
34:08then you don't need to report for work tomorrow.
34:10Several of the soldiers stationed outside the room immediately entered.
34:14Don, forgive us.
34:17Slane said she was your fiancé.
34:19And Don Bellini is an important ally of the Moretti family.
34:22We didn't dare stop them.
34:24Luca regarded them coldly.
34:26I'll say this one last time.
34:28Elena is now the highest priority under Moretti's security protocol.
34:32Every decision must place her safety and the baby's safety first.
34:35Other than immediate members of the Moretti family,
34:37anyone who attempts to harass Elena is to be detained on the spot.
34:42Luca never directly responded to the terms Don Bellini had proposed.
34:46But his orders made his position perfectly clear.
34:49He intended to keep me under the protection of the Moretti family.
34:52Neither Slane nor the Bellinis could threaten him into changing his decision.
34:57Aviana looked deeply satisfied with the way Luca had handled the situation.
35:01Don Bellini and Slane, on the other hand, went white with rage.
35:05Slane stared at Luca in disbelief.
35:07We've known each other for 15 years.
35:09Are you really going to throw away everything between us for a dairy harmer's daughter?
35:14Do you have any idea how filthy her family is?
35:17I frowned.
35:18This time, I refused to remain silent.
35:20My parents built that farm with their own hands.
35:23They care for their land and their animals, and they repay every loan on time.
35:27They haven't stolen from anyone.
35:29They haven't deceived anyone.
35:30They haven't hurt anyone.
35:32There is no shame in running a farm.
35:34There is no shame in not having money.
35:36What is truly shameful is using a family name and family wealth to humiliate people who
35:41earn an honest living.
35:42It was the first time I had openly fought back against Sloane in front of everyone.
35:47Luca's expression had been ice cold.
35:48But when he heard me speak, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
35:52Sloane saw the way Luca was looking at me and lost the last shred of her composure.
35:56Luca, you're a liar.
35:57You told me you would wait for me.
35:59You said you would.
36:02Slain in all these years, have you ever truly respected me?
36:05No.
36:06You liked being pursued.
36:07You liked watching me wait for you.
36:08I grew tired of that game a long time ago.
36:10And now I finally understand that you were never the kind woman I imagined you to be.
36:13There was no warmth in Luca's voice.
36:15All I feel for you now is exhaustion.
36:19You should leave quietly before that exhaustion turns into hatred.
36:22Apparently, an unattainable first love wasn't as special as I had once imagined.
36:27Aviana stepped forward and brought the argument to an end.
36:30Sloane, I have yet to hold you accountable for using a forged paternity report to frame Elena.
36:35Now you've brought your people barging into her hospital room to threaten her.
36:39Your actions have already proven that you are unfit to become Luca's wife.
36:44The Moretti family will not accept this marriage.
36:47Aviana turned to Don Bellini.
36:49If the Bellini family wants to cut ties with us, then do it.
36:53There are more families and companies waiting to take your place than I can count.
36:57She looked toward the soldiers standing at the door.
36:59Escort them out.
37:00I don't want anyone else disturbing Luca or my future daughter-in-law.
37:04I sat frozen in the hospital bed, my face burning.
37:07Future daughter-in-law?
37:08Had Aviana already accepted me?
37:11The baby was so happy she was almost in tears.
37:14Mommy didn't get to see Daddy kneel and beg her to forgive him.
37:17But Grandma has already accepted Mommy and she said it out loud.
37:20This is wonderful.
37:22Mommy and I are finally going to have a good life.
37:24That kick I gave earlier wasn't for nothing after all.
37:26At first I believed all I needed was the child.
37:29I didn't think I needed you too.
37:31But during all this time, taking you to your exercise sessions,
37:35accompanying you to your appointments,
37:37cooking with you, and eating with you,
37:40you showed me a kind of life I had never experienced before.
37:43That day when I saw the photographs and agreed to the paternity test,
37:46it wasn't because I truly believed the baby wasn't mine.
37:50It was because I was jealous.
37:53I thought you had been with other men.
37:57It was my fault that you were hurt.
38:00I want you to give me a chance.
38:02I want you to give me the right to protect you and the baby as your husband.
38:07Elena, will you marry me?
38:08So even the heir to a powerful family understood that a woman should be given a choice.
38:12I had thought I would be the one fighting for a place at Luca's side.
38:15But he hadn't made me ask.
38:16All the effort I had put in during these past months hadn't been wasted.
38:19My face burning, I nodded.
38:22The next instant, Luca slipped the ring onto my finger.
38:24He moved as though he were afraid I might change my mind.
38:27Before I had fully accepted that I was about to become Luca's wife,
38:30Aviana had already made the announcement publicly.
38:32Luca Moretti was going to have a grand wedding.
38:34The Moretti family would also soon welcome its first naturally conceived girl in generations.
38:38Luca's father put all his overseas business on hold.
38:41He planned to return and preside over the wedding himself,
38:43then remain in New York until the baby was born.
38:46As for Don Octavian, all his attention was now focused on the baby.
38:49Every day, he and Luca discussed what gift they should prepare for the little girl on the way.
38:53Yet the piece lasted only two days.
38:55Several gossip sites suddenly published details about my family background.
38:58Countless media accounts reposted photographs of my parents working on their farm.
39:01Some reporters even traveled to the small town where my parents lived
39:04and secretly photographed them tending to the dairy cows and cleaning the property.
39:08The articles called me a trailer-trosh bride.
39:10Others claimed I had resorted to underhanded methods to make Luca agree to marry me.
39:13By then, I was eight months pregnant.
39:15When I saw the photographs, I was desperate to return home and see my parents.
39:19But Luca had already sent someone to bring them to New York.
39:21I burst into tears and threw myself into their arms.
39:24I'm so sorry those people harassed you because of me.
39:26But my parents didn't blame me.
39:28We run our farm honestly.
39:29There's nothing for us to be ashamed of.
39:31Don't cry.
39:32When you get married, we're going to prepare the greatest wedding gift for you.
39:36You're going to be the most beautiful bride.
39:39My parents' kindness and optimism earned them the respect of everyone in the Mority household.
39:43Luca's father immediately instructed the family lawyer to take action.
39:47Every media account that had violated my parents' privacy received a legal notice.
39:51Several gossip sites that had led the smear campaign were forced to shut down.
39:54The family also traced the leaked information back to the person pulling the strings.
39:57Sure enough, Sloane was behind it again.
40:00This time, she had pushed the Mority family beyond its limit.
40:03Luca formally terminated every partnership between the Mority and Bellini families.
40:07He also delivered a personal warning to the Bellinis.
40:10If Sloane goes anywhere near Elena or the baby again, I will take every route, every contract,
40:15and every dollar the Bellucki family controls.
40:17By the time I'm finished, there will be no Bellucki family left in New York.
40:21After that public rupture, I became the subject of conversations throughout the city.
40:25A farmer's daughter is actually going to become the lady of the Mority household?
40:30How did she manage to win over the entire Mority family?
40:34She's eight months pregnant, but she still looks incredible.
40:38You rarely see anyone that far along in such remarkable condition.
40:42Well, of course.
40:43Even at eight months, I continued every exercise my doctor approved.
40:46I followed every meal plan prepared by the nutrition team.
40:50At the same time, I began studying finance and business management.
40:53I even registered for a professional finance certification exam.
40:56When the baby eventually became involved with the Mority family's assets and legitimate businesses,
41:02I wanted to have the knowledge necessary to help her.
41:05When Aviana discovered that I had been studying, her approval of me only deepened.
41:08Once Elena has completed her postpartum recovery,
41:11she will join one of the Mority family's legitimate companies.
41:13She'll begin at the general manager level and learn the business from there.
41:17The harder I worked, the more secure my position within the Mority family became.
41:21After the baby was born, Luca and I obtained our marriage license.
41:24On the day I finally put on my wedding dress, I clutched Luca's hand nervously.
41:28What if someone catches us off guard and switches the baby at the medical center?
41:31What if someone carries our daughter away and leaves a different baby in her place?
41:35Luca was always amused by my worries.
41:38Then I'll station 50 soldiers outside the nursery.
41:42No one except the doctors and us will be allowed near her.
41:45I promise no one will have an opportunity to switch her.
41:48The baby and I breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
41:50Later, those 50 soldiers really did catch a nanny attempting to switch the baby.
41:54Dealing with that threat would not be the last challenge we faced.
41:58Marrying into the Mority family didn't mean I could ever let down my guard
42:01to protect the baby and everything I now had.
42:04I would have to keep moving forward.
