Short filmTranscript
00:00I need your help to fake a private jet crash.
00:03It's the only way I can ever leave Luca Moretti.
00:11People said he'd given up the Mafia throne for me.
00:15They called him the man who traded power for love,
00:19the heir who walked away from blood and gold,
00:21just to marry a waitress from the Slims.
00:24For years, he made the world believe in us.
00:27He built empires under my name.
00:33He sent me roses every Monday.
00:37He told the press.
00:38She's my salvation.
00:40She saved me when no one else could.
00:43But love doesn't always mean loyalty.
00:46While I was busy believing in forever,
00:49he was building a second home behind my back,
00:52one filled with laughter, toys, and twin sons who had his eyes.
00:59The night I disappeared, his empire burned.
01:02Oh God!
01:03What have I done, Valeria?
01:06I was wrong!
01:15He tore apart cities, bribed governments,
01:22and buried men alive just to find them.
01:27But by the time he did,
01:30I was already gone.
01:35When I found out, my world stopped.
01:43I remember clutching the edge of the bed before everything went black.
01:48She must have fainted from the shock, huh?
01:51How pitiful.
01:52Who says otherwise?
01:53Anyone who saw themselves being played like that would gain on the spot too.
01:56I'm afraid it's too late to apologize.
02:00It's too late to apologize.
02:03It's too late to apologize.
02:03Dropped a billion-dollar deal and flew home overnight.
02:07It's too late to apologize.
02:07Luca Moretti, my husband.
02:09The man everyone called the golden heir of the Mafia.
02:12He didn't sleep for two days, sitting by my bedside,
02:16his face pale with fear.
02:20When I finally opened my eyes, he was right there.
02:24Valeria, you scared me half to death.
02:27He whispered, pressing my farm to his cheek.
02:30You're calling me out.
02:32You're calling me out.
02:33This was the same man who'd once stared down a loaded gun without flinching,
02:37now trembling because I flasked.
02:39Looking into his eyes,
02:40those eyes I used to trust more than anything,
02:42hurt more than anything my body felt.
02:44Love like that couldn't be faked.
02:48And yet I couldn't stop wondering,
02:50did he ever look at me that way too?
02:53Bianca Rivo, his childhood friend,
02:55the woman who had given birth to his twins.
02:57If I hadn't seen the proof with my own eyes,
02:59the photos, the DNA report,
03:01I would have never believed it.
03:03The world saw Luca as perfect,
03:06but perfection hides things,
03:08and his secret had been breathing beside another woman for an entire year.
03:14I turned my face away and let the tears soak into the pillow.
03:18My hand drifted to my stomach, trembling.
03:21After years of failed IVF treatments, I was finally pregnant.
03:24Mrs. Marachi, the test results are in.
03:26You're pregnant.
03:27Approximately eight weeks along.
03:29I sat frozen on the examination table,
03:30my hand instinctively moving to my still flat stomach.
03:37Pregnant?
03:38Are you sure?
03:40Positive.
03:41The hormone levels are very clear.
03:43Congratulations.
03:46Luca pulled me into his arms,
03:48his voice low and tender.
03:51What's wrong, sweetheart?
03:52Who upset you?
03:53Tell me and I'll fix it.
03:55But then I caught a faint scent on his skin.
03:58Expensive perfume I didn't wear,
04:00mixed with the powdery sweetness of baby form.
04:05My stomach twisted.
04:06I shoved him away and stumbled toward the bathroom, retching.
04:11He rushed after me,
04:13holding my hair, wiping my face.
04:15He hated messes.
04:17He hated the smell of sickness.
04:19And yet there he was on his knees,
04:21whispering.
04:22It's okay.
04:24I've got you.
04:26It almost broke me again.
04:30Because in that moment,
04:31he was the man I fell in love with.
04:33The one who used to walk through fire for me.
04:37The one I thought I could never live without.
04:42I almost forgave him.
04:48I almost convinced myself that if he left Bianca,
04:51we could go back to what we were.
04:53Start over.
04:54Raise our baby together.
04:55Pretend the world hadn't already ended.
04:57I opened my mouth to tell him.
05:00Luca, I...
05:01But his phone rang.
05:04He kissed my oar head and murmured,
05:07Baby, wait a second.
05:08It's a work call.
05:10Then he walked out the door.
05:14Thirty minutes later,
05:16Bianca sent me a photo.
05:19Luca was holding the twins,
05:21his lips pressed to their foreheads.
05:23The smile on his face wasn't guilt.
05:25It was peace.
05:30That photo destroyed the last bit of hope I had left.
05:35When I left the hospital,
05:37I didn't go home.
05:39I went straight to Clara,
05:41my oldest friend.
05:42The only person I could still trust.
05:56Help me.
05:58I need you to fake a plane crash.
06:01The diamonds you gave me,
06:02I handed them to the housekeepers.
06:07And the sixteen photo albums we'd made over the years,
06:10promising to look at them together when we were old.
06:13I fed them one by one into the fireplace.
06:15The pages curled, blackened, and turned to ash.
06:20Luca, goodbye.
06:23At midnight, my phone buzzed.
06:26Everything's ready.
06:27Two days from now, you vanish.
06:30I didn't sleep that night.
06:33Every time I closed my eyes,
06:35I woke up crying.
06:37By dawn, I just sat there,
06:40knees pulled to my chest,
06:41staring into the dark until the sky turned gray.
06:45When Luca came home the next morning,
06:47I pretended to be asleep.
06:50He took off his coat,
06:51waited for the chill to fade from his body,
06:54and then pulled me into his arms.
06:56I could feel his heartbeat,
06:58steady and strong,
07:00against my back.
07:04He said softly,
07:06opening his tablet.
07:07A picture of an island glowed on the screen.
07:10White sand,
07:12blue water,
07:13the kind of paradise people write about.
07:22I just bought it.
07:23He said, his voice almost boyish.
07:31It's for our child,
07:32and that's not all.
07:33I've started building amusement parks across the country.
07:36Every one will carry our child's name.
07:38When we finally have one,
07:39I'll throw a hundred day celebration.
07:40The whole city will come to celebrate.
07:41He looked so proud of himself,
07:43so full of plans for a future I knew would never come.
07:46He talked and talked,
07:47and it took him a full minute to realize I hadn't said a single word.
07:52Then he heard me sniffle.
07:54He turned towards me,
07:55and froze.
07:59My face was wet with tears.
08:02Hey, what's wrong?
08:04I panicked instantly.
08:07Luka Moretti,
08:08the man who once faced down a rival family's gunman without blinking,
08:12was trembling because I was crying.
08:15If you had even one ounce of pain,
08:18I'd carry it a hundred times over for you.
08:21I forced a small smile and wiped my eyes.
08:25It's nothing.
08:27I just watched a movie.
08:29The husband cheated on his wife.
08:31He relaxed, a smile tugging at his lips.
08:34Then you have nothing to worry about.
08:36The rest of the world might cheat, but not me.
08:39Never me.
08:45He cupped my face.
08:47I'll stay with you all day.
08:50Tell me what you want to eat.
08:51I'll cook.
08:52I shook my head.
08:55It's fine.
08:56I'm meeting some friends for lunch.
08:58You should go to work.
09:00He hesitated,
09:01but he never liked arguing with me.
09:04So he followed me instead.
09:06When we entered the private dining room,
09:08laughter filled the air.
09:10I knew it.
09:11One of my friends teased.
09:14If Valeria's coming,
09:15Luca's coming too.
09:16He never lets her out of his sight.
09:22Luca laughed, easy and charming,
09:24like he wasn't the most feared man in the city.
09:29He handed out the gifts he'd brought,
09:31one by one, to every woman at the table.
09:34Gasps followed.
09:35Oh my God!
09:37This is the new LT Jewelry line.
09:39This set costs seven figures.
09:44Luca, you spoil us every time.
09:46We're only this lucky because of Valeria.
09:50They were right.
09:54Luca would do anything to make my friends like him.
09:56Because when they smiled,
09:58I smiled.
10:03Valeria's happiness is my oxygen.
10:05As long as she's happy,
10:07I can breathe.
10:13Everyone at the table looked at me with open envy.
10:17Valeria, you're so lucky.
10:21One of them said dreamily,
10:23he loves you so much.
10:28I smiled politely,
10:30the kind of smile that didn't reach my eyes.
10:34I'm very lucky indeed.
10:36They couldn't see that my luck was bleeding out of me,
10:40one quiet heartbeat at a time.
10:45The laughter was still echoing around the table
10:47when the door opened.
10:48I loved you with the fire red
10:51When I was turning blue
10:53And you sang
10:56Sorry like the angel
10:58Heaven let me think was you
11:00Bianca Rizzo stepped in,
11:02draped in pearls and confidence.
11:04Hearing the faint scent of expensive perfume.
11:08She paused dramatically,
11:10then smiled as if she owned the entire room.
11:13Oh.
11:15Did I walk into the wrong room?
11:18She asked with a soft melodic laugh.
11:29Wait.
11:31Aren't these my old college friends?
11:42The tension in the room turned solid,
11:45but Bianca didn't seem to notice,
11:47or care.
11:48She slid into the seat right across from me
11:50and glanced casually at the gift boxes in everyone's hands.
11:58L.T.
12:00She said smiling faintly.
12:04Famous brand.
12:06Though I guess most of you don't know.
12:08It's mine.
12:11My husband invested billions to start it two years ago.
12:14He worked so hard,
12:15built 26 stores worldwide.
12:17He is the best partner a woman could ask for.
12:19Her gaze flicked toward Luca,
12:21just for a heartbeat, then back to me.
12:22The smile that followed was razor sharp.
12:26I couldn't breathe.
12:29Two years ago,
12:30Luca started coming home later than usual.
12:33I'm expanding the family business overseas.
12:35Things are just busy right now.
12:38You promised we'd go to the beach together for our honeymoon?
12:41I'll be understanding, Valeria.
12:42I'm really busy every day.
12:45He sighed and pulled me gently into his arms,
12:48his voice softening.
12:50Once things calm down,
12:51I'll take you to the beach for a vacation.
12:53Just the two of us.
12:55Okay?
13:01But now I know the truth.
13:02He was busy building Bianca Rizzo's empire.
13:08The pain hit me so hard,
13:10I had to clutch my chest to breathe.
13:17What's wrong, sweetheart?
13:18Luca stood instantly,
13:20his chair scraping against the marble floor.
13:22You're pale.
13:23I'm calling a doctor.
13:25Before I could speak,
13:27Bionna's voice sliced through the air like broken glass.
13:32Still playing the perfect wife act?
13:35Don't strain yourself.
13:36He gets tired of fragile toys fast.
13:41The sound of the slap was sharp enough to silence the entire room.
13:48Luca's hand came down across her cheek so hard that even I flinched.
13:51Say one more word,
13:54and I'll make sure you never speak again.
13:58Bianca pressed a hand to her face,
14:01eyes blazing,
14:02but she knew better than to push him.
14:05She left without another word.
14:07The laughter slowly returned to the door,
14:10but my skin felt cold.
14:11I could feel Luca watching,
14:13his hands covering me,
14:15voice soft and thin.
14:17Baby, what's wrong?
14:18Let me take you to the hospital.
14:20I pulled away.
14:22I'm fine, I just need the bathroom.
14:31But when I stepped into the hallway,
14:33she was waiting for me.
14:37Bianca.
14:41You really think that slap means anything?
14:48You're his wife, sure.
14:50But I'm the one who gave him things.
14:52If I tell him they're sick, he'll come running.
14:55Wanna bet?
14:57I didn't answer.
14:58I didn't have to.
15:03Because when I returned to the table,
15:05Luca's face was already pale with paint.
15:08He rushed to me.
15:09Kissed my forehead.
15:12Sweetheart, something came up at work.
15:13I'll be right back, okay?
15:14The manager has everything covered.
15:16Enjoy yourself.
15:17I gripped his sleeve.
15:19Didn't you promise to stay with me today?
15:21Please, Luca, stay.
15:23Something flickered in his eyes.
15:25Guilt, hesitation, maybe fear.
15:27He looked at me like he knew leaving would cost him something he couldn't name.
15:31But then he said softly,
15:34I'll be home tonight.
15:35I promise.
15:38And just like that, he was gone.
15:43I'm holding on your rope.
15:45Half an hour later, my phone buzzed.
15:49A message from Bianca.
15:52A video.
15:54I pressed play, my hands shaking.
15:58Luca was there, feeding their children.
16:02Bianca's voice floated through the recording.
16:06Oh.
16:09You bought her an island, Luca.
16:11I'm jealous.
16:12I want it for our twin's birthday.
16:17No.
16:18That island was for Valeria and our child.
16:28You gave her an island as a love story.
16:32Give this one to me,
16:34so our sons will know they weren't born from shame.
16:38And then, he nodded.
16:40The guests, take a fall, take a shot from you.
16:45When I need you like her heart needs a beat.
16:49Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
16:50Even the things meant for your are mine the moment I ask.
16:54I love you when I want you.
16:55I sat there frozen, the phone heavy in my hand.
17:01Every memory of his kindness stabbed through me like glass.
17:04The way he once wrapped my injured hand in bandages.
17:09The way he carried me home through the rain.
17:12Everything he did for me, he could do for her.
17:25I was done.
17:27Tomorrow, I'd leave.
17:29For good.
17:37That night, Luca came home to find me already in bed.
17:44We'd never slept apart before.
17:46We used to wait for each other, even if it was dawn.
17:50I said it's too late to apologize.
17:54It's too late.
17:58I said it's too late to apologize.
18:01It is in pain.
18:04But this time, I couldn't bear to see his face.
18:07He lay beside me.
18:09We're only close.
18:11Breathing against her neck.
18:17I missed you so much.
18:19It's only been hours, but it felt like years.
18:21If you ever left me, I don't think I could live.
18:25Really?
18:27By the way, about that island.
18:29I found out it's not good luck for us.
18:34I bought two more.
18:36We'll pick one together, okay?
18:45Do whatever you want.
18:52He hesitated, sensing something cold in my tone.
18:57Did I do something wrong?
19:01No.
19:03I'm just tired.
19:10Our anniversary is coming.
19:12Tomorrow afternoon, I'm flying out on a private jet.
19:15I ordered your gift overseas.
19:17I want to pick it up myself.
19:19You're pregnant, love.
19:20That's a 15 hour flight.
19:22Let me go instead.
19:27No.
19:29I want to do it myself.
19:30That broke him, like it always did.
19:33Alright.
19:34Whatever you want.
19:38The next morning, he made me breakfast before leaving for work.
19:48Before he walked out the door, I handed him a sealed envelope.
19:53It's for you, but don't open it until two days from now.
19:56I loved you with the fire and now it's turning blue.
20:03Inside were two things.
20:04My pregnancy report and Bianca's video.
20:10By the time the news reached him that my jet had gone down over the Atlantic, he would open it.
20:16When he left, I packed my things and headed for the airport.
20:21Halfway there, my phone buzzed again.
20:24A message from Bianca.
20:26Hotel Deluxe.
20:28He's here.
20:29Don't miss the show.
20:34I shouldn't have gone.
20:37I knew what I'd find.
20:41But I went anyway.
20:44It was their twin's birthday.
20:47The Moretti elders.
20:48The family's inner circle.
20:50All gathered around Bianca.
20:52This is Moretti.
20:53I said it's too late to apologize.
20:56Luca didn't correct him.
21:01He just smiled at her.
21:04That soft, familiar smile that once belonged to him.
21:07Even his parents smiled.
21:11If it weren't for Bianca, his mother said proudly,
21:15The Moretti family would have no heir to carry our name.
21:19Luca, promise me you'll take good care of her.
21:24When have I ever treated her badly?
21:27Whatever Valona has, Bianca has too.
21:30Jewelry, clothes, everything.
21:33Something in me snapped.
21:37Every sweet word he'd ever said.
21:40Every kiss.
21:41Every vow.
21:42They all exploded inside me.
21:44Leaving only ashes.
21:53Everyone knew.
22:01Everyone except me.
22:03Nothing left to forgive.
22:06As I turned to leave,
22:08I looked back one last time.
22:14He was laughing.
22:16His arm around her shoulders.
22:20Goodbye, Luca Moretti.
22:21Never again.
22:27A few hours later,
22:30while he played with the twins,
22:31his phone around her.
22:45Mr. Moretti.
22:46His assistant's voice stammered.
22:49Your wife's jet.
22:50It went down just past the Atlantic border.
22:53There are no survivors.
23:00Luca froze.
23:01The color drained from his face.
23:04What did you just say?
23:07No.
