Short filmTranscript
00:05The night before my wedding, I got a keycard, presidential suite, a penthouse in Manhattan,
00:09the place my fiancée, Donnie, the place we first made love.
00:14I thought he wanted to relive that night, a pre-wedding surprise.
00:17Then I opened the door.
00:18All I saw was his back, strong, pounding into some blonde.
00:22His hands were crushing her tits.
00:23Baby, you're so good.
00:25He was groaning satisfied.
00:28He didn't stop until he came inside her.
00:30Then he turned, lit a cigar, looked right at me.
00:37It's nothing personal.
00:38I'm just tired of the act.
00:39You needed to see the real me before the wedding so you don't give me any shit later.
00:43Don't worry.
00:43You'll still be the official Mrs. Bellina.
00:46You've been with me for ten years.
00:47Your hands aren't clean either.
00:48You did it all for my business.
00:50Who else in this city would have you?
00:51So the wedding's tomorrow, as planned.
00:53I'll give you your spectacle.
00:55I just slipped his rock off my finger, the engagement ring.
00:58I put it on the table and walked away.
01:00The next day, Nico Bellini stood at the altar of St. Patrick's Cathedral.
01:04I walked right up to him, on the arm of his greatest enemy.
01:08I held up a piece of paper.
01:09You wanted a wedding.
01:11Here it is.
01:12The marriage certificate?
01:14It belongs to him now.
01:17Serafina, over here.
01:18Look here.
01:19You're New York's top art consultant.
01:21How does it feel marrying the Don of the Balooie family?
01:23A match made in heaven.
01:25The wedding of the century.
01:26Reporters, disguised as guests, formed the entrance to St. Patrick's Cathedral.
01:31I stepped out of the custom-rolled voice, my Louboutin stilettos hitting the piece.
01:35The white silk of my gown dragged along the red carpet.
01:38Miss Metalli, your gallery has supplied high society with countless treasures.
01:41Today, you've become the most precious piece of art yourself.
01:44I had no idea from the temple and the endless craze, walking towards the church, flanked by my bodyguard.
01:50Nico Bellini stood on the steps in his expensive custom suit.
01:53He wore a smug smile.
01:55He'd called me this morning.
01:56I'd fucked that woman all night, seven times.
01:59I needed to catch up on sleep to have enough energy for the wedding, so I couldn't come pick up
02:02you.
02:04He was so sure I'd come on my own.
02:06Baby, you finally made it.
02:10He walked toward me and gave me a light kiss on the lips.
02:14He looked at me in my wedding dress and devoured me with his eyes, a mix of raw lust and
02:19pride.
02:19The media let out a soft, knowing laugh.
02:21I felt the warmth of his lips.
02:23I thought about how that same mouth was kissing another woman's nipples just last night.
02:28I said, taking his arm.
02:33It's fine.
02:34I know you're a busy man.
02:37Rocko leaned in.
02:38Boss, that move last night was cold.
02:40Making her watch you with another woman, and she still shows up today smiling in a wedding dress.
02:45This broad is wrapped around your finger.
02:47Yeah, any other woman would have lost her mind.
02:50Our Donna's got guts.
02:51Nico pulled me tighter.
02:53Of course she does.
02:54She's been with me for ten years.
02:56What hasn't she seen?
02:59Besides, who else in this city would dare to have her?
03:02I listened and I kept smiling.
03:04Everyone here knew how much money I've laundered for him over the last ten years.
03:08How many messes I've seen him.
03:09My hands weren't clean.
03:11Like he said, who else would have me?
03:16Just then, his private phone rang.
03:18He glanced at the screen.
03:19A smile touched his lips.
03:24What's wrong?
03:25Didn't I tell you to call later?
03:26Nico, I'm flying to Paris this afternoon.
03:27I made an appointment at City Hall in ten minutes.
03:29Can you come?
03:30I want to have the certificate before I go.
03:31Ten minutes?
03:33In that much of a hurry?
03:34Boss?
03:35Who was that?
03:35Isla.
03:36She's flying to Paris, insisted on getting the marriage license before she leaves,
03:39the way she begs for it.
03:40Un-fucking-real.
03:41What about the wedding?
03:42What about it?
03:43The ceremony will take an hour or two.
03:45I'll just swing by City Hall.
03:46It's a ten-minute thing.
03:47You know how that little princess gets.
03:49If I don't keep her happy, she'll throw a tantrum at the airport.
03:52Rocco knew better than to argue.
03:54Nico walked back to me, put an arm around my shoulder.
03:57Here, get a picture of us.
03:59For the memories.
03:59The flash went off a few times.
04:01Nico held my waist and gave me a quick peck on the lips.
04:04Be good.
04:04I gotta go or I'll be late for the registry.
04:06You wait for me.
04:07He patted my cheek like I was a pet.
04:09Then he turned and started walking toward his car.
04:11I stood there, watching his back.
04:13Ten years of my youth.
04:15Ten years of love.
04:16All for last night's humiliation and today's wait for me.
04:20A cold wind blew.
04:21I felt clearer than I had in years.
04:23Nico Bellini!
04:25He stopped and turned back to look at me.
04:26That same, careless, in-control look in his eyes.
04:29If you walk that door today, I'm replacing the groom.
04:35Nico stopped in his tracks.
04:37He turned around slowly.
04:38The careless look on his face turned into an amused one.
04:40He looked at me like a man watching a child throw a tantrum.
04:43Replacing the groom?
04:44He walked back, his voice dripping with mockery.
04:47Serafina, what do you think this is?
04:50Some cheap soap opera?
04:52The reporters around us sensed something.
04:54Their camera lenses quietly turned toward us.
04:56Nico came to a stop in front of me, his hand reaching up to stroke my cheek.
04:59Baby, don't make a scene.
05:01His voice was soft, gentle, but his eyes held a look of arrogant pity.
05:06Who would you replace me with?
05:07In this entire city, what man would dare touch my woman?
05:10Of course, if you actually manage to find a man who'll touch you, maybe I'll let you have your fun.
05:14He opened his car door, throwing a final teasing line over his shoulder.
05:18I told you, you're the only official, Donna.
05:20Stop messing around.
05:21Those little strays on the outside, I'm just playing, okay?
05:25Rocco walked over.
05:26Boss, maybe you should make Isla wait.
05:28It's your big day with the Don.
05:30Nico waged him off.
05:33That little princess is more of a handful.
05:35He pointed at me, his tone one of absolute certainty.
05:37She's not going anywhere.
05:40She has nowhere else to go.
05:42I stood in front of the cathedral, watching the bulletproof black Maybach roar to life and speed away.
05:48I stood there, the hem of my wedding dress catching the cold wind.
05:51The photographer beside me held his camera, awkwardly unsure of what to do.
05:55No one said a word.
05:57I looked down at my left hand.
05:59The ring finger was bare.
06:00Last night, I left the engagement ring on the hotel coffee table right next to that woman's scattered lingerie.
06:06A slow smile spread across my face.
06:09Nico, if you're in such a hurry to register your marriage with another woman, then go.
06:13This multi-million dollar wedding of the century.
06:16If you're going to hand me a multi-million dollar party, I'll be happy to take it.
06:20Let's go inside.
06:22Donna?
06:23The wedding is about to start, isn't it?
06:25Or do you want to keep over 300 of New York's most important people waiting outside?
06:32The church was packed.
06:34The elite of New York high society were all here.
06:37Politicians, business magnates, art collectors, and representatives from every family.
06:41Everyone was waiting for the wedding of the century.
06:44The wedding march began to tell you its solemn tune.
06:46Everything was perfect, except the groom was missing.
06:49I heard Rocco and the others shuffling behind me.
06:52They had no idea what to do, just forced smiles onto their faces.
06:55Donna, the boss just had some family business to handle.
07:00Why don't you sit for a bit?
07:01Another one.
07:02Marco tried to play it off.
07:03Yeah, yeah, the boss knows what he's doing.
07:05It's your wedding day.
07:06He won't be late.
07:08The boss was willing to throw this wedding for you.
07:10He's not going to let a few hundred million go to waste.
07:13They all chimed in, like he just stepped out for a cup of coffee.
07:16I glanced at the antique clock at the front of the church.
07:1910.40.
07:20Fine.
07:21I'll wait for him.
07:22Rocco let out a visible sigh of relief and quickly ordered someone to bring me champagne.
07:26So I'll wait, but it won't be for him.
07:29The waiting room was silent, except for the ticking of the clock.
07:32I looked around, taking in every detail.
07:34The waterfall of white roses by the window, the crystal curtains hanging from the dome.
07:38Even the font on the guest cards was custom-designed by the best in Europe on his orders.
07:43That was Nico.
07:44When he did something, he did it to the extreme.
07:47It was true when he pursued me, and it was true for this wedding.
07:49He made this wedding the talk of the town, the dream of every woman.
07:53And he made his cheating just as extreme.
07:56No room for doubt, no explanations.
07:58In his world, he could give you everything and still drag you to hell.
08:02And my only option was to accept.
08:05The door to the dressing room burst open.
08:35Serafina!
08:37I was so jealous of you back then!
08:40I wanted to punch my own loser boyfriend!
08:43Who would have thought he could turn around and pull a stunt like this?
08:46Just then, my phone buzzed.
08:48A notification from Instagram.
08:50I opened it.
08:51A new post from Isla.
08:54That dress was covered in white stains.
08:56I knew exactly what they were.
08:59He only did it seven times last night.
09:02He couldn't hold back this morning.
09:06Someone said he'd only be ten minutes, but now he won't leave.
09:10Says I'm his favorite toy, and he can't get enough of me.
09:17I took a screenshot.
09:18My hands were steady, but my heart was pounding like a drum.
09:21What, that bitch?
09:23Calm down.
09:24Calm down, Serafina!
09:25Did you see what she posted?
09:26That whore is humiliating you.
09:28I saw it.
09:28My movements as composed as if I were handling a simple business contract.
09:32You came to New York from Chicago for him.
09:34Do you know how pissed your parents were?
09:36Back then, Nico Belleni was a nobody, and you bet ten years on him against your parents.
09:39Now you've lost everything.
09:40You even used father's connections to launder his money, to build his network, to get him where he is today.
09:45And he had the nerve to wait until the night before the wedding to show his true colors.
09:51Serafina, wake up.
09:53A man like that isn't worth it.
09:55I stood up and walked to the full-length mirror.
09:58The woman in the mirror wore a million-dollar dress.
10:00Her makeup was perfect.
10:01Chloe, you're right.
10:03A ten-year bet.
10:04It's time to collect.
10:05You mean you're going to break up with him?
10:08Break up?
10:09No, that's letting him off too easy.
10:11I calmed Chloe down, and I calmed myself down.
10:13I needed some air.
10:15I pushed open the French doors to the terrace and stepped outside.
10:18As I was about to take a deep breath, I heard men's voices.
10:21They were gathered for a smoke break.
10:22The boss is playing with fire this time, huh?
10:24Is he really not coming back?
10:25What fire?
10:26He's got a siren wrapped around him.
10:27What's he supposed to do?
10:28Besides, the Donna's easier to handle than the little princess.
10:31The boss knows what he's doing.
10:32Rocco took a drag from his cigarette.
10:35How long do you think the Donna will put up with it?
10:37Look at her today.
10:38The groom ditches her in front of all the media and guests, and she doesn't even flinch.
10:42With a Donna like that, the boss doesn't know how good he have it.
10:44So when is he coming back?
10:45The guests are all here.
10:46If you drag this out any longer, what's the rush?
10:48I'll give the boss a video call right now, see what the hell is going on.
10:51I held my breath, pressing myself against the wall.
10:55Boss, about the wedding.
10:58I could also hear a woman's flirtatious giggles and faint moans.
11:02My fingers gripped the railing.
11:04Boss, the Donna's out here.
11:05She's asking about the wedding.
11:06Tell her to wait.
11:07I'm busy.
11:07Nico, pay attention to me.
11:09Boss, sounds like you're busy over there.
11:11This little devil won't let me go.
11:12Keeps begging me to stay.
11:13Well, you handle your business, boss.
11:15We can handle the Donna for you.
11:16Before he could finish, I pushed open the terrace door.
11:18The man huddled around the phone froze.
11:21The wedding starts in three minutes.
11:25Donna, we...
11:26Wait.
11:26I walked over.
11:28Since Nico is busy, let him listen.
11:30I looked at the phone screen.
11:32I couldn't see the picture, but I could hear those sickening sounds.
11:36Over 300 guests are waiting for the wedding of the century.
11:38Do you think this is appropriate?
11:40Marco tried to smooth things over with a dry laugh.
11:42The boss is just...
11:43Is three minutes enough for him to finish?
11:45Someone muttered.
11:46The air turned to ice.
11:49Enough.
11:50Three minutes?
11:51Tell her I'm going for another round.
11:53I'm already hard again.
11:55Rocco, you guys keep things under control.
11:57I'll be over when I'm done.
11:59Rocco quickly hung up.
12:00The men fumbled to put out their cigars and straighten their suits.
12:03The air was thick with embarrassment.
12:05I turned to leave.
12:07Marco rushed after me, a pleading smile on his face.
12:09Donna, wait.
12:11The boss has you in his heart.
12:14You know that.
12:15After all these years, you know how men are.
12:18It's just for fun.
12:19I ignored Marco's words.
12:21Just for fun?
12:22If this was just for fun, then what was last night's humiliation?
12:26I walked back to the waiting room, my mind replaying the last ten years.
12:30I never wanted to believe that the man I'd been with for a decade would change his heart
12:33for some girl fresh out of college.
12:35Isla Marino.
12:36The only daughter of an old money New York family.
12:39The complete opposite of me.
12:40A woman who had walked the line of the underworld for ten years.
12:43He changed after he met her at an auction six months ago.
12:46At first, I made excuses for him.
12:48I chose to ignore all the suspicious moments.
12:51The late night encrypted messages.
12:53Family business.
12:54The unfamiliar perfume on his clothes.
12:57Just some woman who hugged him too tight at a party.
13:00I believe that ten years of history couldn't be defeated by some little girl.
13:03Until three months ago.
13:04He started letting me find out on purpose.
13:07He stopped making excuses for coming home late.
13:10Just as simple.
13:12Got held up.
13:13He stopped hiding his phone.
13:15Taking calls from her right in front of me.
13:17An exceptional man can't have just one woman.
13:20Now his men were still outside whispering.
13:22I looked at the time.
13:24Eleven o'clock on the dot.
13:26Just then, the emotional pain was moving inside the church.
13:28The main door slowly swung open.
13:30A tall, imposing figure stood silhouetted against the light.
13:34Every single one of my neighbors.
13:36Meanwhile, at Nico's private estate.
13:38In the lavish master bedroom.
13:40Are you really leaving?
13:42I want more.
13:44Baby, I have to go.
13:45She gave me three minutes.
13:46It's been twenty.
13:48So what?
13:49What's she gonna do to you?
13:51Nico chuckled and walked over to kiss her forehead.
13:53I don't know her temper.
13:54She's usually tame, but she can be a real bitch when she's pissed.
13:57But, I promised her the wedding of the end century.
13:59I have to at least see the show through for her.
14:02What about the marriage license?
14:03You promised me.
14:04Of course it's yours.
14:05My legal wife can only be you.
14:07Don't worry about that.
14:08He picked up his phone from the nightstand to call his driver.
14:11But the flood of notifications on his screen made him pause.
14:14The encrypted group chat was blowing up.
14:16It was filled with emergency calls and voice messages from Rocco and the others.
14:24The last message was a video file sent by Rocco just moments ago.
14:29Nico frowned and tapped it open.
14:30His pupils shrank.
14:32Isla saw Nico's face and flinched.
14:34What is it?
14:35She sat up in bed.
14:37You look like you've seen a ghost.
14:38The phone shook in Nico's hand.
14:40In the video, Serafina was smiling.
14:42They looked perfect together.
14:44Like it was their wedding.
14:44No fucking way.
14:46Nico took a deep breath, trying to calm down.
14:50Nico thought back to when he was just a punk on the street.
14:52She gave him every penny she had to start his business.
14:55She traveled to 12 cities for him.
14:57Worked herself into the ground until she was hospitalized with a bleeding stomach.
15:01She used her father's connections to push him step by step to where he was today.
15:05Nico dialed Rocco's number.
15:06Boss, you finally called!
15:08What the hell is going on?
15:09Why did you let Caspian DeLuca in the church?
15:11We don't know!
15:12He just showed up!
15:13Said he was here for the wedding!
15:15For the wedding?
15:15He's here to humiliate me.
15:17Boss, what do we do now?
15:18The guests are all whispering.
15:19What's the panic?
15:21Caspian has no shame.
15:22But the DeLuca family has a reputation.
15:24He won't pull a stunt in front of all these people.
15:27But boss...
15:28But what?
15:29Boss, you need to see the second video I sent you.
15:33The red carpet, covered in white roses, every flower was priceless.
15:37I held Caspian's arm.
15:39Just signing the papers would have been enough.
15:41The ceremony isn't important.
15:42This wedding comes with flowers, a band, 300 guests, and a Michelin star feast.
15:46And it's all free.
15:47Why let it go to waste?
15:50Besides, you already changed into this custom suit in the car behind the church.
15:53If you really didn't care, you wouldn't have come so prepared.
15:56You don't miss a thing.
15:57His warm breath brushed against my forehead.
16:00A free wedding.
16:01I'll play along.
16:02Then his thumb started drawing little circles on the back of my hand.
16:05The touch was soft, but it was a deliberate tease.
16:08But for that comment, I'll be collecting with interest.
16:12A jolt went through me.
16:13I could feel my cheeks getting hot.
16:15This man, he was more dangerous than I thought.
16:18The organ began the solemn wedding march.
16:20Caspian took my hand and we started walking again.
16:22Isn't that the Don DeLuca?
16:24What's he doing with Belucci's fiancé?
16:26Where's Mr. Belarvi?
16:26I saw a few of Nico's top guys standing by the aisle, their faces ashen.
16:30Rocco tried to pull out his phone to send a warning, but the screen read no signal.
16:34Tony pulled out his phone too.
16:35Same thing.
16:36They finally realized it.
16:37They had completely lost control of the situation.
16:40We reached the altar.
16:41The priest, a kind old man, looked from me to the new man on my side.
16:45His confusion was obvious, but he was a professional.
16:47He recovered quickly.
16:49Ma'am, if I may.
16:51Continue.
16:52Follow the original plan.
16:54The priest nodded and opened his book.
16:56Caspian stood beside me, tall and straight as the pine tree.
16:58Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of this man and this woman
17:04in holy matrimony.
17:05The commotion in the pews grew.
17:07People were whispering, some trying to take pictures.
17:10Cameras flashed.
17:11But with the cell signal jammed, the pictures weren't going anywhere.
17:14Just as the priest was about to get to the most important part of the vows,
17:17Miss Serafina Vitality, do you take-
17:20The church doors were thrown open.
17:22Everyone turned.
17:23A familiar figure stood silhouetted against the light, panting, rushing inside.
17:27Nico Bellini.
17:28She does not!
17:31Serafina!
17:32Get the hell down from there!
17:33Nico's voice echoed through the church, shaking.
17:36His tuxedo was a wreck.
17:38Bowtie crooked, hair a mess.
17:40He'd clearly rushed here.
17:42Boss!
17:43You're finally here!
17:44He gasped.
17:47Serafina.
17:48She walked down the whole aisle with Kasplin.
17:51Nico's eyes narrowed.
17:52What?
17:53Good thing you saw that second video I sent.
17:56That video.
17:57The one Rocco secretly filmed from a side corridor.
18:00In it, the aisle was long.
18:02I walked step by step toward Caspian, and then I offered him my hand.
18:06Nico's face turned uglier.
18:08He knew better than anyone how much I hated Caspian Delucia.
18:12For the last five years, we'd been at each other's throats in the black market for art.
18:16Every major auction, every big deal, he had to stick his nose in it.
18:20I hated his arrogance.
18:21Hated how he never showed any mercy.
18:23Most of all, I hated how he always ruined things for me at the last second.
18:27And now, Nico couldn't process what he was seeing.
18:31Especially the way I was looking at Caspian.
18:33I had never looked at any other man with that kind of softness.
18:36The priest was frozen on the altar, unsure what to do.
18:39I didn't turn around.
18:40I just spoke calmly to the priest.
18:42Please, continue.
18:44Those two words made Nico's face go pale with rage.
18:47He stormed up the aisle, his voice low but shaking.
18:50Have you lost your damn mind?
18:52I finally turned to face the man I once loved so desperately.
18:55Right now, his eyes were filled with anger, confusion, and something that looked a lot like panic.
19:01Serafina, stop this.
19:02He said, trying to grab my hand.
19:04You think this little show with him is going to make me jealous?
19:06Do you think this is how you threaten me?
19:08I took a small step back, avoiding his touch.
19:11That simple move made his eyes darken.
19:14Who is Caspian DeLuca?
19:16Nico raised his voice like he wanted everyone here to listen.
19:19The dawn of the DeLuca family.
19:23You think he can't have any debut net he wants?
19:26He pointed at me, his eyes full of contempt.
19:29You think he'd want you?
19:32A woman I've had for ten years?
19:34A collective gasp went through the crowd.
19:36Caspian's eyes turned cold.
19:38Deadly.
19:39He stepped forward, shielding me.
19:41Watch your mouth, Bellini.
19:42His voice was soft, but it carried a deadly threat.
19:45One more disrespectful word about her.
19:48I'll show you exactly how the DeLuca family does things.
19:52Seeing Caspian protect me, a flash of panic crossed Nico's eyes.
19:56He covered it up quickly.
19:57He sneered.
20:01You think I don't know your game?
20:03You're just using her to get back at me!
20:06To ruin my name.
20:08To destroy my wedding?
20:10Seraphana, wake up!
20:11He reached for me again.
20:12Don't be a pawn and think you've won.
20:15Nico took another step closer.
20:16His eyes were certain, like he still thought he was in control.
20:20Come down now, and I'll pretend today never happened.
20:22His voice dripping with condescending forgiveness.
20:25We'll have another wedding.
20:27You'll still be Mrs. Bellini.
20:30He was waiting for me to run back to him, crying.
20:33Waiting for me to apologize and beg for his forgiveness,
20:35just like I had countless times over the last ten years.
20:38Waiting for me to gratefully accept his generosity.
20:41But I just watched him.
20:42And then, I gave him a light, airy smile.
20:45That smile made the certainty in his eyes shatter.
20:48I turned my head to Caspian beside me.
20:50He was staring at me.
20:51His dark eyes held something I'd never seen before.
20:53Something deep.
20:54Burning.
20:56Dangerous.
20:56I stood on my toes.
20:58I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.
21:00Caspian froze for only a second.
21:03The next, he took control.
21:05He was a predator.
21:06One who had held back for far too long.
21:08And his prey had just walked right into his arms.
21:11His arm wrapped tight around my waist, pulling me against him.
21:14The kiss was forceful.
21:16Dominant, almost like he was claiming me.
21:18I could feel the desire he'd suppressed for years finally exploding.
21:22The entire room gasped.
21:24Women covered their mouths.
21:25Others stared wide-eyed.
21:30Terafina!
21:31A sound like someone had his throat in a vice.
21:34His voice was broken, desperate, echoing through the silent church.
21:38I heard him.
21:39I didn't stop.
21:40In fact, I kissed Caspian back even harder.
21:43His lips were soft and warm, a stark contrast to his cold exterior.
21:46I could taste mint, could feel his breathing quicken.
21:49When Caspian finally pulled away, his thumb gently brushed my lip.
21:52The gesture was tender, but his eyes were hot enough to burn everything down.
22:04The second he finished speaking, men in black suits emerged from all corners of the church.
22:09Clearly, this was all planned.
22:11Drag him out.
22:12Yes, boss.
22:14Bodyguards moved toward Nico with practiced efficiency.
22:20Don't you dare!
22:21Nico scrambled backward.
22:23This is my wedding!
22:24My church!
22:25No one listened.
22:26Two guards grabbed him by the arms.
22:28Serafana!
22:29Wake up!
22:30Nico screamed as they dragged him away, not giving up.
22:33He's just using you!
22:34He just wants to humiliate me!
22:36You were with me for ten years!
22:38Ten years!
22:40How could you betray me for a man who doesn't even love you?
22:43His voice got more desperate, more broken.
22:45He's just picking up my sloppy seconds!
22:47Cassian DeLonca!
22:48You're just taking the woman I'm done with!
22:51At that, murder flashed in Caspian's eyes.
22:54He signaled the guards to stop, then walked slowly over to Nico.
22:59What did you just say?
23:00Nico was shaken by his presence, but refused to back down.
23:06I said you're taking my sloppy seconds!
23:08She was mine for ten years!
23:10Every inch of her skin, I'm-
23:13Caspian's fist connected squarely with Nico's face.
23:16Blood sprayed.
23:17I'll say this one last time.
23:19Insult her again, and I'll cut your tongue out.
23:23Nico was dazed, but he still struggled.
23:25I didn't marry Isola!
23:27I never signed the papers!
23:29His voice cracked, laced with tears.
23:32The first time I ever really wanted to marry someone!
23:35Serafina!
23:36Please!
23:38Come back to me!
23:39I can change!
23:40I'll change everything for you!
23:43But no one was listening anymore.
23:45The guards kept dragging him out.
23:46His voice grew fainter, more broken.
23:49Until, finally, it was gone.
23:52You may now exchange rings.
23:55Caspian pulled an antique ring box from his inner suit pocket.
23:58It was deep blue velvet, trimmed with delicate gold thread.
24:03Your hand.
24:04I did as he said.
24:05He opened the box.
24:06Inside was a uniquely designed ring.
24:08A platinum band with a perfect blue sapphire at its center.
24:12But it wasn't the gem that shocked me.
24:14It was the design.
24:15I knew that pattern.
24:17Carved around the sapphire were fine vines with flowers shaped exactly like the little
24:22daisies I doodled as a kid.
24:24It was 15 years ago.
24:25A summer afternoon.
24:26Caspian and I were just kids, already being pushed into an arranged marriage by our fathers.
24:31I fought it hard.
24:32I thought the quiet brooding boy was boring as hell.
24:35We argued about it on the lawn of the estate.
24:37I'm never marrying a boar like you!
24:39And if I did, the ring would have to be something I like.
24:42Here.
24:42Like this.
24:43Then I threw the paper in his face and ran off.
24:45He didn't say anything then.
24:46Just quietly picked up the crumpled piece of paper.
24:49I thought he'd forgotten all about it.
24:51But he hadn't.
24:53My voice cracked.
24:55You remembered.
24:56I've remembered for 15 years.
24:58I had it commissioned that same day.
25:00He looked up at me, his eyes filled with a tenderness I'd never seen.
25:04Now, you can't run away.
25:06His tone was part bossy, part sweet, and part a stubbornness that was almost childlike.
25:11My eyes instantly filled with tears.
25:1415 years.
25:15He waited 15 years.
25:17With a shaky hand, I took the man's ring from the box.
25:20The same design, the same care.
25:22Caspian held out his long fingers for me.
25:24The moment the cool metal touched his skin, I felt a sense of safety I hadn't felt in years.
25:28Like I was back on that summer afternoon.
25:31Even then, some part of me knew, this boy would protect me for the rest of my life.
25:34In that warm, perfect moment, the church doors were thrown open.
25:38Dozens of men in black suits poured in, led by Nico.
25:41His face was terrifyingly dark.
25:43His eyes burning with a mad rage.
25:45Cast me in, Delico!
25:47You've crossed a fucking line!
25:50The guests screamed in time.
25:52Some tried to run, but the ends were all blocked.
25:55Stealing my woman?
25:56On my turf!
25:57Every flower, every candle of music, every note of...
26:00I paid for it all!
26:01With my blood and sweat!
26:02Every car outside, every guard paid for with my money!
26:05You think you can just walk in here with a new suit and take my place?
26:07You don't run things here!
26:09Bellini, you've already lost.
26:12His voice was even.
26:14Walk away with some dignity, and I can forget this happened.
26:18Lost?
26:19What have I lost?
26:20She's still wearing the dress I chose, standing in the church I decorated.
26:23You think you can just take her from me?
26:25In your dreams!
26:27At the same time, his dozens of thugs raised their guns.
26:30All of them pointed at us on the altar.
26:33This man trespassed on my property and stole my bride!
26:37Nico's voice shook with rage.
26:38Break his fucking legs and drag him out!
26:41Facing the barrels of a dozen guns, Caspian just sneered.
26:44His hand moved slowly toward his own waist.
26:47I knew he had a gun too, but I put my hand on his to stop him.
26:50Don't.
26:51I said softly.
26:53Then, I calmly stepped out from behind him.
26:55I faced those guns alone.
26:58Gentlemen, this is my wedding.
26:59To my husband, Caspian de Luwak.
27:03Your husband?
27:04Serafina, snap out of it!
27:09I'm perfectly aware of what I'm doing.
27:11Just then, Chloe stepped out from the side.
27:15Rocco, Marco, Tony.
27:17She called out the names of Nico's men, one by one.
27:21Care to see what these are?
27:23She threw the files on the ground.
27:25They scattered bank statements, stock agreements, and registration documents for the family's companies.
27:30This...
27:31This is the rental contract for St. Patrick's Cathedral?
27:34Signed by Serafina Vitale?
27:36The contract for the custom wedding dress paid from an account in Switzerland!
27:42That's impossible!
27:43That was the boss's money!
27:44Was it?
27:45Why don't you check who the real owner of those offshore accounts...
27:48And the three core money laundering companies under the Belie family name?
27:52The actual majority shareholder for all of them...
27:54Is Serafina.
27:56All of you!
27:56For ten years!
27:57I'm the one who's been signing your paychecks!
27:59Now, ask yourselves who you really work for!
28:02It's time to choose!
28:04Dead silence.
28:05The gun in Rocco's hand started to tremble.
28:07He looked from the papers to me, cold sweat beating on his forehead.
28:11Donna, we...
28:12You always knew, didn't you?
28:14You knew where Nico's money really came from.
28:16You... you bitch!
28:17You planned this all along!
28:20Planned?
28:21It's called being prepared.
28:22One by one, the guns were lowered.
28:24These men knew better than anyone who really held the purse strings.
28:29Donna, can we still work for you?
28:31The others quickly lowered their weapons, pledging their loyalty.
28:33Only Nico still held his gun.
28:35No, impossible.
28:37How could you so early on?
28:39Nico, put the gun down.
28:42Serafina!
28:43I just had to take care of a little business!
28:45That's all it was!
28:46For the sake of our ten years, just come back with me, okay?
28:50He reached out his hand just like he always used to.
28:52We'll start over.
28:53I promise.
28:54It will only be you from now on.
28:57It's too late.
28:58Ten years!
28:59Look, this is us!
29:01The watch you gave me!
29:02This all proves that you're my woman!
29:03We're practically married!
29:05His men watched, their faces a mix of embarrassment and pity.
29:08I slowly took a document from my purse and tossed it at the feet of the men who had already
29:12switched sides.
29:13A marriage certificate.
29:16Stamped and sealed by City Hall.
29:18Rocco picked it up, glanced at it, and immediately dropped to his knees.
29:23Donna, we were wrong.
29:25We are willing to continue serving you.
29:27The others all knelt, too.
29:30Faced with a contract that was not only legal, but also represented the protection of the DeLuca family, Neko's remaining
29:35threats became a joke.
29:37No.
29:37Neko's face turned to ash, his eyes losing focus.
29:40The pistol slipped from his hand and clattered to the floor.
29:42He collapsed onto the ground, completely broken.
29:44Why could you throw away ten years without a second thought?
29:47I didn't hesitate.
29:49Because you were never worth it.
29:52Caspian came to my side.
29:54He wrapped a possessive arm around my waist, claiming me.
29:56As we passed the kneeling Neko, he stepped.
29:58As we passed the kneeling...
29:59He leaned down, his voice a low whisper in Neko's ear.
30:02The wedding is mine.
30:04The guests are mine.
30:05He paused, savoring the victory.
30:07And the woman, she was always mine.
30:09After dealing with Neko, I went back to Caspian's estate with him.
30:13A stand-alone mansion on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
30:16Classic and luxurious, just like him.
30:18I sat on the living room sofa, watching the flames dance in the fireplace.
30:22My mind replayed our history.
30:24His and mine.
30:26He was the man my family chose for me when we were kids.
30:28But I craved freedom.
30:30I hated being controlled.
30:32Every time we met, we fought.
30:33I would never admit I actually had feelings for that cold bastard.
30:40Caspian's voice came from behind me.
30:41He walked over with two glasses of red wine.
30:43What are you thinking about?
30:45About when we were kids.
30:48About how we went from an arranged marriage to sworn enemies.
30:52He sat down next to me, a bitter smile on his face.
30:55Do you remember that graduation ceremony?
30:57Of course I did.
30:58It was the night before my college graduation.
31:01I was drunk at the University of Chicago's grad party.
31:04Caspian came to find me, said he had something to tell me.
31:06We ended up kissing on a bench in the campus garden.
31:09It was a light, brief kiss, but my heart was pounding out of my chest.
31:12I woke up the next morning terrified.
31:14I didn't even pack.
31:15I just ran all the way to New York.
31:18I thought you hated me.
31:20Hate you?
31:21You ran off to New York with Nico and I fought you at every turn.
31:24You thought that was hate?
31:26I was jealous.
31:28Jealous?
31:30I went after Nico in business like a madman just to prove a point to you.
31:34To prove I was ten times the man that piece of trash was.
31:36So why didn't you choose me?
31:38I was stunned.
31:39So that was...
31:40All that business competition?
31:42Furious.
31:43That was just me.
31:44Furious that you chose him.
31:47But I could never bring myself to actually crush you.
31:49Do you have any idea how many of Nico's messes I cleaned up for you behind the scenes?
31:55I thought back over the last ten years.
31:57Every time Nico got into deep trouble, some mysterious force would help us out.
32:02Every time we were about to go broke, some unexpected deal would fall into our laps.
32:06So why?
32:08Because I couldn't stand to see you suffer.
32:10Caspian put his glass down and came to stand behind me.
32:12His hand brushed my shoulder and he spoke next to my ear, his breath smelling faintly of wine.
32:17Even when you chose someone else, I couldn't stand it.
32:19And then he kissed me.
32:21This kiss was nothing like that first one.
32:23It was filled with ten years of longing, ten years of desire.
32:26Like he was desperately trying to reclaim something he had lost long ago.
32:29I didn't push him away.
32:31Instead, I turned and kissed him back.
32:32I deepened the kiss.
32:34I could feel his body tremble.
32:35Hear his suppressed groan.
32:39Suddenly, he swept me up into his arms.
32:43Caspian.
32:43Shh, don't talk.
32:45He carried me up the stairs to the master bedroom and pushed open the bathroom door.
32:49He gently set me down on the marble countertop.
32:52I've waited too long for this, my Donna.
32:54His long fingers began to undo the buttons on the back of my wedding dress.
32:57One by one, slow, gentle, like he was unwrapping a priceless treasure.
33:02I felt the warmth of his fingers, felt my own body responding.
33:06My reason was slipping away.
33:08Serafina, do you know how long I've wanted you?
33:11I closed my eyes.
33:12I let myself sink into this long overdue tenderness.
33:15I let myself enjoy the feeling of being cherished.
33:18His hands were gentle, skilled, awakening a desire deep inside me.
33:23Ten years.
33:23I've thought about you for ten whole years.
33:27I felt like I was melting.
33:29The wedding dress slid to the floor like shedding a ten-year-old disguise.
33:32Who would have thought that two people who fought since they were kids,
33:35two rivals who battled for territory in the underworld,
33:38would end up tangled so fiercely together in the same bed?
33:43A month later, I brought Caspian back to Chicago.
33:47The private jet landed at the Vitale family's private airfield.
33:50My father's motorcade was already waiting.
33:53A dozen black armored cars, a welcome fit for a conquering hero.
33:57In the family mansion, my father sat at the head of the table.
34:01The man they called the most powerful Don in the Chicago outfit watched us walk in.
34:06A satisfied smile spread across his face.
34:08My little princess, you finally brought the right man home.
34:13My father stood and opened his arms to hug me.
34:17Dad, I'm home.
34:20Welcome home, son.
34:22My father said, letting me go and turning to Caspian.
34:27Dinner was warm.
34:28My mother kept putting food on Caspian's plate, treating him like her own son.
34:32By the way...
34:34Putting down his wine glass.
34:35I have something for you.
34:36He motioned for the butler who brought over a folder.
34:38A monopoly on the East Coast's black market for art.
34:41Caspian and I both froze.
34:43This was always meant for my daughter.
34:45My father said simply,
34:46Now, I'm officially handing it over to both of you.
34:51Caspian took the file.
34:52His expression complicated.
34:53He knew what this meant.
34:54The entire East Coast art smuggling network, the money laundering channels, the underground
34:58auctions, an industry worth billions.
35:01And it was the very thing that had been Nico's lifeline.
35:04Three days later, the news spread through New York's underworld.
35:07The Bellini family was finished.
35:09Partners pulled their money.
35:10Banks froze their accounts.
35:11Even his most loyal men started to defect.
35:14Nico's empire crumbled overnight.
35:16I sat in the study of my Chicago home, watching the snow fall outside.
35:20A message came from Chloe.
35:22Nico's lost it.
35:23He finally figured out who you really are.
35:26He says he understands everything now.
35:28I let out a small laugh.
35:29Yeah, he probably did.
35:30The perfect partner he always saw was actually the hidden daughter of Chicago's underworld king.
35:35He always thought I was just some girl from a minor family with a bit of talent.
35:39He thought I was so madly in love with him, I could never leave.
35:42He never knew his entire rise was just a test.
35:45He didn't just fail the test.
35:46He'd thrown away the throne with his own two hands.
35:49That night, the rain was coming down in sheets.
35:51The butler came to report.
35:55Miss, there's a man kneeling outside the gate.
35:58He says he needs to see you.
35:59I won't see him, I said without looking up.
36:03It's Nico Bellassi.
36:04I paused my writing and looked out the window.
36:06A Chicago winter rain.
36:08Cool time.
36:09Let him kneel.
36:10I said, my voice flat.
36:12Cassian hugged me from the head.
36:13Feeling soft?
36:15No, I just want him to understand what too late really means.
36:19The rain poured all night.
36:21The next morning, I opened the curtains.
36:24The space outside the gate was empty.
36:26All that was left was a rain-soaked box.
36:28A photo box.
36:29Inside were pictures from our ten years together.
36:31The shyness, when we first met.
36:34The sweetness of new love.
36:35The growing distance later on.
36:37Once, these memories were my most precious treasures.
36:40Now, they were just a pile of useless paper.
36:42I told the butler,
36:44Miss.
36:45Throw it in the incinerator.
36:46Burn it all.
36:47Don't leave a single one.
36:49The flames in the incinerator roared.
36:50I watched the box twist and melt,
36:52then turned and took Caspian's hand.
36:54I was done with the past.
36:55I was done picking up trash.
