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

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

53:56I couldn't understand how my best friend, my sister-in-law, could do this.
54:00When she and Lorenzo chose to marry, she'd hugged me, laughing through tears.
54:04She said we'd finally be a real family and stay together forever.
54:08She'd even warned Vincenta she'd skin him alive if he ever hurt me.
54:11Yet now she helped another woman take him from me.
54:14And she said I was the one who shouldn't exist.
54:16I couldn't hold back anymore.
54:18Tears ran down my face.
54:20It felt as if a knife had split my heart open.
54:23The pain was worse than the day I'd been shot.
54:25Footsteps sounded behind me.
54:27Vincent and Sophie entered the room.
54:29I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath.
54:31If you truly love each other, then I'll step aside.
54:33Alexa-
54:34Calm down, don't say things you'll regret.
54:35They spoke together, clearly surprised I would let go so easily.
54:38I only smiled and looked at Sophia.
54:40I was out of this game before it even began.
54:42I wish you both happiness.
54:47I turned and left.
54:49Vincent reached for me, but I stepped aside before he could grab me.
54:52Every betrayal, every lie, I carved them all into my memory.
54:58I would never forgive them, and I would never forget.
55:02I was packing my bags when Vincent suddenly returned to our apartment.
55:05The moment he saw my suitcase, he exploded.
55:08Alessia, what are you doing?
55:09Are you moving out?
55:10Are you leaving me?
55:11I couldn't believe he had the nerve to ask.
55:13Shut up!
55:14I glared at him and slapped him hard across the face.
55:16Listen carefully, Vincent.
55:18You left me.
55:19You abandoned me.
55:21Should I stay until you throw me out yourself?
55:23His cheek quickly turned red.
55:25He pressed his tongue against the sore spot, but didn't get angry.
55:28Instead, he opened his arms and pulled me in an embrace.
55:30All right, sweetheart, I was wrong.
55:31Hit me or curse me if it helps.
55:32Do you feel better now?
55:33We've been together for five years.
55:34What we had was real.
55:35Can you truly let it go that easily?
55:37You nearly died saving me.
55:38I'll never forget that, and I would never abandon you.
55:40Only then did I realize I'd never truly known Vincent.
55:44When had he become this shameless and two-faced?
55:48I shoved him away and put distance between us.
55:51But Vincent only smiled and approached me with open arms again.
55:55Sofia is the Romano family's princess.
55:57Marrying her gives me more power.
55:59You don't even know who your biological father is.
56:01How will you survive without me?
56:03Vincent gazed at me with such tenderness, as if he truly cared about my future.
56:07Sofia and I already have a child.
56:08My position in the family has never been stronger.
56:11Stay with me.
56:11I can give you everything except the title of wife.
56:14I wanted to throw up.
56:16Every word from his mouth made me sick.
56:18When I didn't answer, Vincenzo took my silence as consent.
56:21Smiling, he stroked my hair.
56:23Let me make it up to you.
56:25We'll go shopping, and I'll buy you anything you want.
56:27Before I could respond, Lorenzo and Camille rushed through the open door.
56:34Lorenzo charged at me and slapped me to the floor.
56:37Camille seized my collar and screamed in my face.
56:40Alexia, where did you hide Sofia's baby?
56:42Sofia ran in crying and shook my shoulders.
56:45You took my baby.
56:45Didn't you tell me where he is?
56:47He's only one.
56:48He'll die without me.
56:49I'll give Vincent back.
56:50I don't want my place in the family either.
56:52I'll give you anything.
56:53Just return my baby.
56:54The smile vanished from Vincent's face.
56:56He stepped forward, tense.
56:58What do you mean the baby is missing?
57:00He disappeared during his nap.
57:02He can barely walk.
57:04Someone must have taken him.
57:06Vincent roared, pulled his gun,
57:08and pressed the barrel hard against my forehead.
57:10No wonder you were packing to run.
57:12You knew what you'd done and planned to flee before we caught you.
57:15Tell me!
57:16Where did you hide him?
57:18The cold barrel touched my skin,
57:19and my blood seemed to freeze.
57:21Years ago, I hadn't feared being outnumbered in a gunfight.
57:24I hadn't been afraid when I took a bullet for Vincent.
57:26But now, I was truly terrified.
57:29Not of dying.
57:30I feared I wouldn't live to see them kneel and beg for mercy.
57:33I didn't do anything.
57:34I've never even seen that baby.
57:36Sophia collapsed to the floor, sobbing so hard she almost vanted.
57:40If you want revenge, take it out on me!
57:43The baby is innocent!
57:44If anything happens to him, I can't go on living!
57:48Each word tightened Vincent's grip on the gun.
57:51Click.
57:52He chambered around.
57:54In another second, the bullet would go through my head.
57:57I really don't know.
57:59I had done nothing.
58:00How could I confess?
58:01Lorenzo stood nearby, his face cold.
58:04Even if you were still my sister, I couldn't cover for you.
58:06And you're not anymore.
58:07He turned to Vincent.
58:08Alessia won't talk.
58:10Teach her a lesson or she won't tell us anything.
58:11Vanessa nodded and lowered his gun, his eyes terrifyingly cold.
58:15Then beat her until she talks.
