Short filmTranscript
00:00i'm sofia romano the family's wild radiant princess vincent is the mafia heir stoic
00:06controlled the very picture of restraint but every night he grips my waist
00:11fucking me until my legs go weak while whispering my name over and over princess
00:17his movements drove into me so relentlessly that i couldn't form a complete sentence
00:30the words broke apart between ragged breaths i could feel him clearly his solid presence moving
00:36within me again and again leaving me trembling with a low restrained groan he gave into the
00:43moment pulling me closer as everything came to a head when it was over we were left clinging to each
00:51other breathing hard suspended in the fading echo of our shared climax he just doesn't know that in
00:57two weeks i'm marrying someone else the sheets are still damp with our shared heat i lie in bed
01:02catching my breath as vincent rises to dress from my side of the bed i watch his long fingers
01:08deftly buttoning his shirt not staying tonight family meeting be good not again vincent nothing
01:19i'm leaving
01:23the moment the door clicks shut i snatch my phone and dial a familiar number
01:27father i accept the marriage alliance in two weeks i'll marry the dying sterling heir in boston
01:32but i have one condition good name it we'll talk in person i hang up and my eyes fall on
01:38the phone
01:38vincent left on the nightstand the screen lights up with a new message it's followed by a kissing emoji
01:43i stare at the message my fingertips trembling vincent has never taken me to the hospital
01:49not even when i broke a rib during training
01:54i get dressed and discreetly follow his car he pulls up to a cozy italian restaurant on mott street
02:00from a distance i watch him stride toward a girl in a white dress isabella she's even thinner than
02:06she appears in photos vincent reaches out tucking a windswept strand of hair behind her ear i've never
02:12seen him look so gentle except when we're in bed
02:18three years ago my father sent me to vincent
02:23the sight of his handsome cold face made my knees weak
02:29sophia needs a proper education in how our family operates
02:33she's too wild you're the only one who can handle her
02:37i was 19 then fresh out of boarding school and brimming with rebellion i thought vincent was just
02:42another man trying to tame me so i decided i would tame him first the first time we met i
02:48wore a mini
02:49skirt to his office just to provoke him vincent sat behind his desk and didn't even bother to look up
02:55close your legs sophia why because the way you're sitting suggests the romano family lacks class i hiked
03:02my skirt even higher how about now vincent finally looked up his eyes cold behind his gold-rimmed glasses
03:09get out for months i did everything i could to get under his skin
03:16i slipped flirtatious notes into his files sabotaged missions he assigned and even put a laxative in his
03:25whiskey then vincent always cleaned up my messes with infuriating calm then told me in that patronizing
03:35tone sophia you're a smart girl you need to apply that intelligence to the right things until that night
03:45i drugged his drink desperate to see what a vincent without his iron control would look like
03:53i just didn't expect to still be in the room when the drug took hold what did you put in
03:58my drink
04:00you've already guessed haven't you i met his searing gaze
04:10want to try me
04:13that night changed everything he murmured stroking my cheek vincent i princess this will be our secret
04:24princess little princess that was the word that made me fall completely he pinned me to the bed
04:30kissed my body when his thick cock pressed against my clit i could clearly feel just how massive it was
04:37a wave of fear washed over me in an instant before i could even protest he thrust all the way
04:42in with
04:43one powerful stroke i gasped sharply sucking in a cold breath please be gentle please be gentle
04:53let me have you all of you princess then he began to move slowly sliding in and out with each
05:01steady
05:01thrust pleasure gradually replaced the initial discomfort my juices started flowing freely soaking
05:07his thighs completely
05:10i mimed
05:17feels good doesn't it my little princess
05:20deeper please deeper
05:24vincent suddenly flipped me over gripping my hips firmly as he pounded into me from behind
05:29one hand reached around to roughly rub my swollen clit his stamina was incredible
05:34he fucked me for hours driving me to orgasm again and again
05:41for the next two years we maintained this strange clandestine relationship
05:48by day he was the same composed rational vincent but at night
05:56he'd whisper princess in my ear and me until my legs gave out i thought he loved me
06:03until my birthday i'd spent the entire day preparing put on my most beautiful dress and
06:08booked a table at the restaurant where we first met i was going to tell him i loved him that
06:13i wanted
06:13to be with him no matter the cost but vincent never showed up i sat alone in that restaurant for
06:20three
06:20hours until even the waiter started to look at me with pity
06:28the next day photos of vincent greeting another woman at the airport went viral in the pictures
06:33isabella was nestled in his arms the two of them as intimate as lovers so that's where he'd been last
06:39night he'd gone to pick her up i laughed bitterly and drank until i couldn't feel anything i wanted to
06:46confront him to demand to know what i was to him a buddy a tool but i didn't have the
06:52courage i was
06:53too lonely too addicted to the warmth he offered
06:58that night vincent came home to find a wreck
07:02i'd used a wine bottle to smash every single picture of isabella in his study
07:11he didn't even flinch he just instructed the maid to clean up the mess and take care of me then
07:17walked right past me in that moment i finally understood vincent was the family heir untouchable
07:25cold and proud his tolerance wasn't a sign of affection he simply couldn't be bothered to argue
07:33with me after that he still called me princess in bed as if nothing had changed but my heart was
07:40already dead
07:44outside the restaurant vincent opened the car door for isabella they were laughing about something
07:52i looked away and drove back to the romano family estate
08:06what did you say i said i'll marry the sterling family's dying heir in exchange we sever all ties
08:15from this moment on i am no longer a romano you can welcome your mistress and your bastard daughter
08:22into this home with open arms the day you staged the car crash that killed my mother
08:29father i stopped wanting you as a father anyway i told you that crash was an accident
08:35don romano shot to his feet accident or not she died on her way to find you cheating with maria
08:43dad let's stop pretending we're a happy family you've been trying to sell me to the sterlings for five months
08:50isn't it just so your precious mistress can finally marry into the family so your bastard
08:55daughter can finally take the romano name sophia you want to be disloaned fine as of tomorrow you are
09:04no longer my daughter get out deal oh and don't forget to inform the sterling family their bride is no
09:15longer the eldest daughter of the romano family but a parentless orphan ask them if they're still willing
09:21to pay the same price back in my room i shut the door and the mask i wore finally crumbled
09:30tears streamed
09:33down my face i curled up on the bed a wounded animal looking at swoons do you know vincent to
09:42finally leave
09:43you i had to give up the only thing i had left the next morning i heard the sounds of
09:49furniture being
09:50moved downstairs i rose and walked the landing of the staircase a familiar figure stood at the bottom
09:58isabella my blood ran cold she was that new daughter my stepmother's daughter
10:08isabella stood at the bottom of the stairs in a simple white dress the picture of fragile innocence
10:13she spotted me smiling like an angel you must be sophia i'm isabella it's a pleasure to finally meet you
10:21i didn't answer just stared down at her don romano emerged from the living room seeing isabella a rare
10:29look of paternal affection crossed his features isabella you must be tired from your journey have
10:36sophia show you to your room thank you uncle romano take sophia's room it gets the best light perfect for
10:42your recovery my room from now on it's isabella's room you can move to the third floor there's an empty
10:48guest room up there no thanks i went back upstairs and began to pack where do you think you're going
11:02i'm leaving since i'm no longer a romano there's no reason for me to stay here sophia
11:09your wedding is in two weeks don't be ridiculous i know i'll be at the wedding to fulfill our agreement
11:18the door slammed shut behind me i drove away from the romano estate without a second glance
11:25i thought about calling a friend but then i realized i didn't have any the people who flocked
11:30around me were only there for the romano family's power and influence now that i'd been cast out
11:35who would bother with me as dusk fell i dragged my suitcase aimlessly through the streets
11:42finally i found an empty bench in central park and sat down the night grew deep the park was quiet
11:48save for the distant hum of traffic i hugged my knees counting down the days until the wedding
11:54i couldn't keep living on the streets as i worried a few drunk men staggered toward me
12:02hey beautiful all alone stay away from me come on have a drink with us i stepped back but the
12:12bench
12:13blocked my escape just then a low menacing voice cut through the air she's with me i turned vincent
12:21was stepping out of the shadows his face a thunderous mask of fury the drunks took one
12:27look at his imposing presence and scrambled away vincent strode toward me his gaze taking in my suitcases
12:33then the bench homeless and you still won't come to me vincent drove me back to his mansion in
12:42manhattan i knew this house all too well every corner held a memory of our bodies tangled together
12:50vincent reached for my suitcase about to take it to my usual bedroom
12:55don't i said heading straight for a guest room i'm only staying for 12 days this is fine you can
13:01stay as long as you want i put my suitcase in the guest room and closed the door i sat
13:07on the edge of
13:07bed staring at my phone 12 more days and i would leave new york forever the next morning i went
13:17downstairs
13:18vincent was already in the dining room he saw me and gestured to the seat across from him
13:24i sat a maid brought me milk and toast vincent he looked up his gaze calm behind his glasses i
13:33found out
13:33yesterday what is isabella to you a high school classmate she took a bullet for me once saved my
13:40life she's been recovering in europe ever since really just a classmate a savior is it that simple
13:47sophia i don't want you targeting her just because she has returned to the romano family
13:53is that a warning it's a reminder isabella's health is fragile she can't handle any trouble i nodded
14:02saying nothing more vincent was more direct in his defense of isabella than i had ever imagined
14:07i understand i'm going upstairs what else was there to ask
14:15i stayed in the guest room all day the maid brought lunch and dinner to my door
14:20i didn't go down that night i lay in bed unable to sleep usually vincent would open the door around
14:28this
14:28time push me down without a word and grip my waist while calling me princess but tonight
14:37nothing his first love was back of course he won't want me anymore
14:45on saturday he forced me to go to a party it didn't look like any mafia gathering i'd ever been
14:50to
14:50you before i could ask i heard a familiar voice vincent you're finally here isabella in a white
14:57evening gown fluttered over like a butterfly she saw me and her expression faltered for a fraction
15:03of a second before she plastered on a sweet smile sophia's here too that's wonderful i glanced around
15:09and saw a large banner that read welcome home isabella it was a welcome party for her vincent
15:15had brought me to isabella's welcome home party i turned to leave but isabella stopped me sophia
15:21what's wrong are you not feeling well i heard you moved out of your house is it because of me
15:27i'm so sorry i had no idea uncle ramona would let me stay in your room her voice was soft
15:32and gentle
15:33but loud enough for everyone around us to hear a few guests looked my way with questioning eyes
15:39it's fine it's just a room but uncle romano said you even need your disowned him
15:46it's all my fault if i hadn't come back isabella the reason i disowned him has nothing to do with
15:53an outsider like you isabella's tears began to fall she looked pitifully at vincent vincent walked over
15:59shot me a warning look don't cry your eyes will get swollen he took out a handkerchief and dabbed at
16:06her tears isabella's tears turned to a smile you're so good to me vincent i watched them all night he
16:15pulled out her chair he brought her drinks he fixed her dress a sharp pain pierced my heart in 10
16:23days
16:24i thought vincent was just a cold man who didn't know how to be romantic i was wrong he's not
16:30cold
16:30he just wasn't willing to do those things for me i turned and walked to the bar grabbed a glass
16:36of champagne and downed most of it in one go after the party i stood alone outside the club waiting
16:47for
16:47a car isabella came out with vincent carefully helping her walk sophia i'm so sorry about what
16:54happened earlier i twisted my ankle so suddenly vincent couldn't get to you it looks like you
17:00handled it well she glanced at my injured hand a flash of triumph in her eyes i did i've always
17:08been
17:08good at handling my own problems that's good to be honest i was a little worried when vincent brought you
17:13tonight after all you two used to used to what you don't actually think vincent has special feelings
17:21for you do you sophia dear vincent just pities you you're homeless now so he took you in out of
17:29charity
17:29that's all isabella's eyes were sharp and malicious is that so of course vincent only has room in his
17:38heart for me it's been that way since high school that will never change just then a black sedan lost
17:45control and sped straight toward us in a split second vincent lunged forward and threw his arms
17:50around isabella shielding her with his body and me i was struck hard by the out of control car and
17:57thrown violently to the ground
18:01as the car hit me my consciousness began to fade pain shot through my entire body
18:07but what hurt more was the absolute crushing despair of being abandoned flashes of memory flooded my
18:15mind i remember the first time he pinned me down calling me princess i remember the nights in his arms
18:24listening to the steady beat of his heart thinking i had finally found my home but the last thing i
18:30saw
18:31was the truth vincent diving for her leaving me to face the crash alone the final image was frozen in
18:39my mind vincent without a moment's hesitation diving to protect isabella and me like some disposable bystander
18:47left to face the danger all alone when i finally opened my eyes i was in a hospital bed
18:55it was quiet but i could hear them talking just outside my curtain vincent's voice was so gentle
19:03it sounded like a stranger's voice are you okay isabella softly said yes she asked him vincent if
19:12happened again you'd still save me first right vincent didn't even hesitate of course sophia has no
19:24reason to be angry in an emergency i'm obviously are gonna save the more fragile person she understands
19:29that after vincent left the room was quiet but not for long the door creaked open and there she was
19:40isabella sat by my bed with a poisonous smile she told me a story about high school about how she
19:46was
19:46vincent's first love she told me she took a bullet for him during an ambush and ever since vincent has
19:54been
19:54consumed with guilt he promised to spend the rest of his life making it up to her then she leaned
20:01in
20:02her voice turning venomous she told me that while she was away she lied to vincent she told him i
20:09was
20:09mistreating her mother vincent didn't discipline you because he was forced to he asked for the job he
20:15wanted to break me to get revenge for her i felt my blood turned to ice but it got worse
20:22isabella pulled out her phone and asked did you know that every single time you two were together
20:27it was being recorded vincent installed hidden cameras in the bedroom he filmed our most private
20:35moment sentence just to give her leverage to control me vincent never loved you he was just
20:42completing a mission and now he's going to marry me i couldn't stay in that hospital bed for another second
20:52i jumped into a cab and headed straight to vincent mansion i had to know i had to see if
20:59the man i
21:00loved was actually the monster isabella described i ran into a study and punched the code into the hidden
21:07wall it slid open to reveal a room full of monitors and computers my hand shook as i found the
21:13folder
21:13labeled sophia i clicked it there they were hundreds of videos every night we spent together every i love you
21:21i whispered in his arms he had recorded it all in high definition i crumpled to the floor it was
21:28all
21:28true i called my father my voice breaking i asked him 10 years ago did vincent offer to discipline me
21:36my father didn't even hesitate he told me vincent gave him a 200 million dollar project just for the
21:43chance to take me under his wing vincent didn't love me he bought me he slept with me and controlled
21:50me
21:50just to get revenge i started to laugh it was a hysterical broken sound
22:00i went to the bedroom and grabbed my suitcase along with my flight ticket to a city where he will
22:05never
22:05find me on my way out i picked up a solid gold lighter the first gift vincent ever gave me
22:12i used
22:13to think it was a symbol of love but now i realize it was just a mark on his prey
22:17i flicked the lighter
22:18open and tossed it onto the heavy silk curtains i watched the flames grow devouring the memories the
22:26lies and the girl who once loved him so deeply the sky was a hellish red as fire trucks surrounded
22:33the
22:33mansion i watched it burn a message popped up when i turned on my phone it was vincent i heard
22:39you
22:39burned the house do you feel better now my princess i didn't reply i was about to catch my flight
22:45i
22:46received another message from him stay home and wait for me i have something to tell you i turned off
22:51my phone whispered to the empty air we'll never see each other again i threw my phone out the window
22:57and
22:57watched it shatter now he has no way to find me at the airport i sat by the window outside
23:03i saw his
23:03private jet on the tarmac i accidentally saw his silhouette walking up the stairs heading to
23:08another city for his meeting my flight was called i realized then there were two planes on that runway
23:15pointed in completely opposite directions vincent walked out of the mafia meeting and loosened his tie
23:23after three days of high stakes negotiations he'd finally taken several more ports
23:29the corsini territory had finally fallen he was at the top of his game he turned on his phone for
23:35the first time in 72 hours and the screen lit up with 99 missed messages from isabella but his eyes
23:43went straight to the only one that mattered a single message from sophia he tapped it expecting her
23:49usual sass instead his blood went cold it was a bank notification transfer received eight hundred thirteen
23:58thousand dollars the memo simply read settlement for medical and living expenses no i miss you
24:05nowhere have you been just a final bill paid in full that was the total amount of vincent's money
24:11i had spent over the last three years i transferred it to him back vincent almost laughed from frustration
24:17he typed back you think i need your money
24:24do we really need to settle accounts like this
24:32he waited for the reply he knew would come in seconds but the chat window stayed silent
24:3810 minutes passed nothing he called her only to hear a cold robotic voice say
24:47the number you have dialed is not
24:49for a second vincent froze he thought of sophia how she looked when she snuggled into his arms at night
24:58her long lashes against her skin he looked at her profile picture a proud cat that looked exactly like
25:04her he smiled thinking she was just playing hard to get he sent one last message be at the airport
25:10to pick me up he
25:10he stared at his phone waiting for her to say no or fine but the message stayed on red for
25:18the
25:18first time in his life the ruthless crime boss felt a chill run down his spine he was used to
25:24her defiance
25:24but he wasn't prepared for her silence on the drive back vincent sat in the back seat holding a velvet
25:31jewelry
25:31box inside was the pearl necklace sophia had begged for the one he had refused to help her buy at
25:39the
25:39auction his driver marshall finally spoke up boss i think she still heard about the auction
25:47but if she knew you went through all this trouble to find the real necklace for her she'd be so
25:51moved
25:51vincent looked at the box he pictured sophia's defiant beautiful face
26:00would she marshall kept going talking about how sophia was actually kind and sweet even when she
26:06tried to act tough but then the temperature in the car dropped vincent's face turned terrifyingly dark
26:11he looked at marshall in the mirror and asked do you like her marshall's hand shook so hard the car
26:16almost swerved off the road vincent demanded tell me the truth marshall took a deep breath and admitted
26:23it who wouldn't be drawn to someone like her but i know she only has eyes for you boss i've
26:30only ever
26:30admired her her from afar vincent calmed down slightly but then marshall found a sudden burst of courage
26:36he looked at the most powerful boss in the territory and said but boss i hope you treat her better
26:41you
26:42can't protect isabella one moment then try to be sweet to sophia the next she deserves a love that
26:48is all or nothing vincent narrowed his eyes his voice dangerous what are you implying exactly what it
26:54sounds like boss i've always wanted to ask who do you really love is it isabella or is it sophia
27:06sophia of course the moment the words left vincent's mouth marco slammed on the brakes the tires screeched
27:14against the pavement sorry boss marco apologized hastily his back slick with a cold sweat to his
27:22surprise vincent wasn't angry he just lifted his cold gaze studying his assistant in the rearview mirror
27:32does my answer shock you that much marco's hands trembled on the wheel shocked was an
27:37understatement it turned everything he thought he knew on its head
27:42he didn't dare say it aloud opting for a more tactful response
27:50but i've seen you treat mrs abila so well even better than you treat miss sophia
27:57vincent pressed his long fingers to his temples and leaned back into the leather seat that's because
28:03she took a bullet for me he closed his eyes memories flooding back in high school he was known at
28:12st
28:13louis preparatory academy as the ice prince as the marcelli heir daughters from every major family
28:20vied for his attention daily the most extreme incident involved the torino family's daughter
28:26arranging roses in a heart shape at the school gate to declare her feelings every girl wanted him
28:32to make them stop he needed a fake girlfriend he conceded it was a practical solution but who his
28:39gaze swept across the courtyard and landed on isabella reading in the library from then on he started
28:46singling her out he let her rest her head on his shoulder in class had her accompany him everywhere
28:51and tacitly allowed the high society rumors about them to circulate the effect was immediate the other
28:58families backed off on graduation day isabella asked him to meet on the school roof as they were leaving
29:04an assassin from a rival family appeared a dark gun barrel aimed right at him in that critical moment
29:11isabella shoved him out of the way the gunshot echoed he saw isabella fall like a broken kite
29:19blood gushing from her chest in the hospital the pale-faced girl whispered weakly vincent
29:26i don't regret it the doctor said the bullet had grazed her heart she'd nearly died out of guilt he
29:33had
29:33granted nearly every request she'd made over the years the only thing he was grateful for was isabella's
29:39comment i want that little romano princess to never dare bully my mother again which led him to
29:45propose disciplining sophia to don romano himself at the thought a smile involuntarily touched vincent's
29:53lips vincent remembered the first time he saw sophia like it was yesterday she burst into his study like
29:59a flash of red leaning against the door with a smirk a princess shouldn't have to wait in that moment
30:06she
30:06was like a flame burning through his cold black and white world his heart skipped a beat even if he
30:12didn't show it for years she was a wild cat she put laxatives in his whiskey and turned his million
30:18dollar contracts into paper airplanes he loved every minute of the chase he remembered the night he
30:26finally pinned her to his desk that night sophia was furious struggling beneath him her mini skirt pushed
30:32up to her waist panties already torn and dangling from one ankle you bastard let me go but vincent only
30:41smirked coldly one hand pinning both her wrists above her head while the other roughly spread her legs
30:48my princess sophia screamed her body clenching violently around him as he took her hard and deep
30:55the heavy desk creaking under their violent rhythm he took her again and again until her angry curses
31:01turned into broken moans and her legs wrapped around his waist involuntarily she was furious calling
31:08him a bastard but he just whispered my princess he took her again and again but he never said the
31:15word love
31:17vincent realized he had kept his feelings buried because he was afraid he was afraid if he confessed
31:22his love she would take it for granted or worse get bored and run away but sitting on his private
31:29jet
31:29he couldn't stop thinking about her he remembered how she secretly left warm water by his bed when
31:36he was sick even when she was mad at him his throat tightened for the first time he was desperate
31:44to get
31:44home the plane landed in the middle vincent walked down the steps his eyes searching for that familiar sight
31:53every time he returned sophia was there in a bright dress waving at him before flying into his arms like
32:00a happy bird he could almost feel her hug already he was ready to pull her into the car and
32:07never let her go
32:08vincent a smile started to spread across his face but as he turned his smile froze it was isabella
32:17she looked fragile and sweet but vincent's body went stiff he pushed her away gently and asked
32:24what are you doing here isabella pouted telling him she had come especially to pick him up
32:31aren't you happy to see me vincent gave a polite answer but he didn't even take her hand his mind
32:37was miles away he was thinking about sophia she hadn't shown up he figured she was still sulking about him
32:43he started making a mental list of gifts to fix things isabella begged him to follow her to a
32:49special place wanting to get it over with he agreed but when the ballroom doors opened at a luxury hotel
32:57vincent froze the room was a sea of white roses champagne towers and heart-shaped balloons it was a perfect
33:04setting for a romantic proposal the elite guests turned to him with knowing smiles vincent realized it
33:09instantly this was a trap just as he turned to find an exit the large screen suddenly lit up it
33:15showed vincent in high school letting isabella rest her head on his shoulder then a photo of him holding
33:20an umbrella over her in the rain to the crowd it looked like a perfect lifelong romance but vincent
33:26stood in the back his face a mask of stone isabella walked onto the stage blushing she told the room
33:32how vincent had watched her in the library how he only ever took drinks from her hand and how everyone
33:37called them a perfect match i've always been in love with you the crowd gasped they were sure he
33:44was about to propose isabella pulled out a jewelry box she was certain he felt the same way because he
33:49had granted her every wish for years but vincent's eyes grew ice cold before she could ask the question
33:55vincent strode onto the stage the room went dead silent he looked her right in the eyes and said
34:04isabella i can grant you anything you want but not this i am not in love with you
34:17isabella's voice shot up the color draining from her face
34:29i apologize for the misunderstanding back then my associates daughters were a nuisance
34:35i needed a shield a shield he paused then continued as compensation i deposited half a million dollars
34:42into your account every year i thought we had an understanding that it was a transaction
34:47that was my debt to you his gaze rested calmly on her pale face but that's all there is to
34:52it
34:52the room erupted the envious glances instantly turned to mockery and contempt whispers rushed toward
34:59isabella like a tidal wave i knew it a man of vincent status would never fall for someone from the
35:05torino
35:06family she acted like it was real but it was all in her head i heard her mother used her
35:10looks to
35:11marry into the romano family like mother like daughter i suppose always trying to climb the social
35:16ladder every word was a knife in isabella's heart her reputation was everything she had planned this
35:23for three months inviting all of new york's high society determined to become mrs marcelli in the
35:30most glamorous way possible but now she trembled her nails digging deep into her palms if vincent didn't
35:37love her then who did he love a terrible thought surfaced could it be sophia the next second vincent was
35:44turning to leave she clung to his sleeve with the last shred of her dignity vincent
35:52vincent in all these years did you really never feel anything for me
36:00no never those two words stabbed isabella through the heart her legs gave out and she collapsed onto
36:07the stage her perfectly quaffed hair came undone her makeup streaked with tears amid the pointing and
36:13whispering vincent walked out of the ballroom without a single look back striding toward
36:17the black car waiting outside marco was already there with the gifts he'd been asked to prepare
36:22boss it's all ready the sapphire necklace and miss sophia's favorite italian chocolates
36:36vincent took out his phone and texted sophia come to the long island villa i have something for you
36:43no reply he called her still off frowning slightly he sent another text still mad the messages went out
36:51one after another meeting only silence vincent rubbed his temples and sent one more you burned
36:57down the mansion if you're still not satisfied do you want to burn another one after a long wait the
37:03phone remained quiet still no response his patients finally snapped vincent dialed don romano's number
37:16the phone slipped from vincent's hand the convoy sped to the romano estate vincent kicked the front door
37:25open and stormed inside don romano was sitting on a leather sofa sipping whiskey he was so shocked
37:31he almost dropped his glass vincent what are you doing here you married sophia off to sterling family
37:37in boston vincent bit out each word i did you were always complaining about how much trouble she was
37:46right and the sterling family's sickly heir was offering 500 million for an alliance so i married her off
37:58now you and isabella can finally be together without anyone bothering you
38:05who told you i love isabella vincent slammed his fist on the marble coffee table and the entire
38:12slab cracked into men tear this place apart two dozen men in black suits swarmed in and in an instant
38:18porcelain furniture and clothing were reduced to badness don romano's face went pale vincent what are you doing
38:28as of today the romano family is finished no vincent you can't do this don romano scrambled forward pleading
38:39think of the history between our families just then isabella rushed in vincent
38:47vincent why are you doing this to my father realization dawned on her and she screamed hysterically
38:53you fell in love with sophia didn't you i did so what isabella looked as if she'd been struck by
39:00lightning then burst into manic laughter but she's never coming back you love her but you never said
39:10it so everyone thought you loved me isabella's smile was twisted i paid your maids to fill your study with
39:19my pictures do you think sophia never saw them why do you think she burned down the mansion because i
39:25told her you recorded your private moments together to use as blackmail she wasn't forced to marry him
39:32she gave up on you completely she chose to marry someone else she'll never come back every word was
39:40a dagger twisting in vincent's heart he thought about sophia's recent behavior the lack of tantrums the
39:46silence the way she walked away from the fire without a second glance so she had seen the photos
39:51she had heard the rumors she had lost all hope in him as for the recordings he had made them
39:57but only
39:58to watch them himself he remembered how she looked in the throes of passion the stubborn way she bit her
40:03lip to keep from crying out the flush that crept up her neck when she came he couldn't bring himself
40:08to delete those memories but now they had all become weapons used against her isabella you will
40:16pay for this he turned his voice as cold as the grave get the jet ready we're going to boston
40:22now
40:26sophia sat in her room staring blankly at the mountains of luxury goods from the day she arrived at
40:32the sterling estate a non-stop stream of items had been brought to her sophia finally held up a hand
40:37look at this room is there any space left the maids exchanged glances one of them immediately
40:44pressed her earpiece and whispered young master miss sophia says the room is too small i hope sophia
40:50deadpanned that's not what i meant the young master's orders were to spend without limit sophia pressed
40:57her hand to her forehead does your young master usually throw money away like this the maid said
41:02seriously the young master is very wealthy for the sterling family this is just pocket change
41:08sophia took a deep breath and finally asked the question that had been on her mind for days i've
41:14been here for almost a week may i meet your young master the maid hesitated the young master said
41:20he's not mentally prepared yet sophia laughed in disbelief he married me and he's not prepared
41:26fine then i'm leaving the moment the words left her mouth all the maids suddenly stood at attention
41:32bowing respectfully young master sophia froze and turned toward the door footsteps approached and a
41:39tall slender figure appeared sophia was stunned this was alexander sterling the supposedly dying heir
41:50he looked healthy enough to take on a dozen assassins single-handedly mr sterling care to explain i'm
41:55sorry the truth is i'm not sick i was just too scared to meet you i've been waiting for you
42:00since
42:00i was a child i've loved you for so long you said you've been in love with me for a
42:05long time
42:0510 years ago at the yacht party in the hamptons have we met have you forgotten who you saved sophia
42:13froze
42:15her memory pulled back a decade at that party she had been on the deck when she heard a splash
42:21a young boy had fallen overboard before anyone else could react she had dived in after him after
42:28swallowing several mouthfuls of seawater she finally dragged him back to the deck
42:34she'd asked soaked to the bone but ignoring herself as she knelt to perform first aid
42:44the little boy coughed up water and opened his eyes his lashes beaded with moisture
42:55she had taken off her jacket and wrapped it around his shivering body
43:01are you okay the boy had clutched her jacket his eyes shining like stars
43:06sofia snapped back to the present staring at alexander in disbelief that little kid who fell
43:12in the water that was you yes the tips of alexander's ears flushed i've been looking
43:19for you for 10 years sofia suddenly laughed but you were only 12 then and i was 16 i'm four
43:24years
43:24older than you because you were like an angel you saved me and you were so gentle his eyes were
43:31so
43:31clear without a trace of pretense princess i truly love you i didn't mean to deceive you
43:39if you want to leave the 500 be still yours and i'll let you go but if you're willing to
43:44give me a
43:45chance let me give you a home i'll spend my entire life treating you right the word home struck a
43:53deep
43:53chord in sophia's heart maybe she could try at least here someone loved her with all their heart in the
43:59days that followed alexander treated sophia like the center of the universe she casually mentioned
44:04a craving for italian food and half an hour later a three-star michelin chef and his entire team were
44:10at their door she frowned in her sleep and alexander had all the carpets in the villa replaced with a
44:16softer material most importantly the entire sterling family adored her she hadn't felt this cherished
44:22in years her new life felt like a dream until a maid reported breathlessly madam mr vinson is here
44:30he's asking to see you the magazine and sophia's hand fell to the floor
44:39she looked up and met alexander's tense gaze he put down the strawberry he was holding his voice tight
44:46princess do you want to see him sophia looked at his tense profile and suddenly smiled no she reached
44:52out and poked his cheek keep feeding me strawberries alexander's eyes lit up and he immediately turned
44:58back into her loyal puppy carefully feeding her strawberries one by one on sophia's birthday alexander
45:06threw a lavish party when alexander took her hand led her onto the stage and announced he was
45:11transferring 50 of his company shares to her the entire room is he crazy that's billions
45:20sofia tugged on his sleeve what are you doing alexander looked down at her his eyes shining if i wasn't
45:28afraid of burdening you i would have given you 100 percent someone in the crowd started chanting
45:36the tips of alexander's ears turned bright red as he looked at sophia tentatively just as
45:42he leaned in to kiss her the ballroom doors were kicked open everyone froze vincent stood in the
45:47doorway impeccably dressed but his eyes were terrifyingly dark his gaze was fixed on sophia
45:54and alexander's intertwined hands as if he wanted to burn a hole right through them almost instantly
46:01alexander pulled sophia into his arms shielding her with his body but sophia was surprisingly calm
46:07she looked at vincent and smiled mr marcelli what brings you here a wedding gift her words were a
46:15knife stabbing deep into vincent's chest his jaw tightened veins standing out on his neck his voice
46:21was raw sophia come back with me sophia's smile widened go back to what to watch you take care of
46:29isabella i don't love isabella i love you the guest gasped and the whispers he really is here to crash
46:36the wedding his voice was low let's talk somewhere else alexander sneered mr marcelli you're not welcome
46:46here but sophia gently placed a hand on his it's okay i'll make things clear inside the black car
46:53sophia sat in the passenger seat calmly looking out the window vincent was in the driver's seat his tie
46:59crooked his eyes bloodshot he had never looked so disheveled the recordings i made them but not to
47:05blackmail you i just wanted to keep them for myself he explained everything one detail at a time
47:13when he finished sophia just asked quietly and vincent froze and come back with me
47:26sophia it's always been you i love you vincent you knew my situation but you still chose to side with
47:35isabella again and again even if you don't love her the pain you caused me was real
47:41and during that time my feelings for you slowly died i can't get them back vincent's fingers
47:49tightened on the steering wheel his knuckles turning white his voice shook sophia i'm not
47:54a god i made a mistake can't you allow me one mistake is the price for one mistake losing you
48:00forever sophia looked at him her gaze so calm it was brutal yes i don't hate you but i won't
48:08love you
48:08again either she took a gold leafed invitation from her purse and handed it to him my wedding to
48:14alexander is in three days with that she opened the car door and walked toward alexander who was
48:20waiting by the road never once looking back vincent sat in the car watching her leave and suddenly
48:26remembered the first time he saw her she was in a red dress proud and radiant a fire that had
48:34burned its
48:34way into his black and white world and now that fire was gone the day before the wedding sophia sat
48:43at the vanity in the bridal suite her fingertips tracing the diamonds on her wedding dress the sun was
48:48shining and staff bustled outside preparing for the ceremony everything seemed perfect a soft knot came
48:55at the door princess alexander entered bring a cup of warm herbal tea and a small elegant velvet box he
49:03was
49:03dressed in a well-fitted black suit his eyes impossibly gentle he said placing the cup beside her barely
49:09touched your breakfast sophia looked up a small smile on her lips thanks sophia opened the box inside were
49:18exquisite pieces of italian chocolate alexander said softly i heard you used to love the chocolates from
49:24the shop alexander said softly i had them flown in from milan sophia paused surprised she was about to speak
49:31when the estate's security alarm began to shriek alexander frowned a frantic voice came through
49:37what's going on mr alexander the system is breached all surveillance and access controls alexander's face
49:42changed princess stay here don't move he hurried out giving sharp orders in the hallway before she could
49:49react the sweet door was pushed open soundlessly a tall figure stood in the doorway vincent sophia shot to her
49:56feet knocking over a bottle of perfume outside a helicopter hovered its rotor blades deafening
50:04sophia's eyes widened in horror vincent this is kidnapping so what if it is you're mine he sneered
50:12leaping onto the balcony with her i should have done this the first day i saw you the wind howled
50:19whipping her wedding dress around her she looked back at the estate and saw alexander's distant figure
50:24being held back by several men in black he seemed to be shouting her name but the wind stole the
50:30sound the helicopter landed on a private island at dawn vincent carried sophia off the aircraft the
50:36moment her feet touched the ground she shoved him away she sneered illegal confinement whipping in the
50:41sea breeze when did vincent marcelli stoop to such low life tactics so what if i did vincent gave her
50:48a
50:48tour he said opening the french doors everything here is yours the gardens the pool the library even
50:58that ocean i want to go back sophia let's start over as if none of it ever happened vincent when
51:07did you
51:07learn to lie to yourself sophia i will make you become the person you used to be she woke from
51:13a
51:14nightmare to find a small lamp on her nightstand its light soft as the moon vincent sat by her bed
51:19watching her his eyes bloodshot this was a vincent she had never seen before tender obsessive and
51:26unconditionally indulgent for a moment she was dazed if only he had been like this before but there was
51:32no going back he cupped the back of her neck pulling her closer don't don't touch me vincent froze his
51:41eyes filled with a storm of pain sophia what do you want me to do sophia looked at him and
51:46suddenly
51:46smiled let me go a maid entered madam please drink some milk when is he coming back mr vincent had
51:57to
51:57return to new york to handle the marcelli family business he would be back as soon as possible the
52:02glass hit the wall shattering sophia sneered i am not your madam get out the terrified maid scrambled out
52:10sophia bent down and picked up the sharpest shard of glass
52:16vincent handed his suit jacket to the maid where is she in the master bedroom vincent pushed open the
52:24bedroom door his face filled with terror sophia was sitting on the edge of the bed a startling gash
52:29marked her wrist blood dripping from her fingertips onto the carpet staining it crimson vincent's pupils
52:35contracted he rushed forward and seized her wrist if you dare to die i will make the entire sterling
52:41family die with you sophia looked up a mocking smile on her pale face what will it take for you
52:48to finally let me go say you love me
52:56in your dreams vincent stared at her then suddenly smiled a look that sent a chill down her spine
53:03he let her go and turned to marco contact the global media now marco froze boss you mean
53:12a live stream
53:17of my wedding to sophia
53:21cameras were aimed at the bedroom's french doors vincent had changed into a black suit
53:27sophia was forced into a wedding dress a silk ribbon hiding the wound on her wrist vincent gripped
53:33sophia's waist and leaned in to kiss her sophia struggled biting his lip hard enough to draw blood
53:39blood trickled from his mouth dripping onto her white dress the live stream cut out abruptly but
53:45it was too late the world was in an uproar sophia shoved him away his blood staining her lips vincent
53:51are you insane vincent wiped the blood from his mouth and laughed softly
54:00now the whole world knows you're mine sophia looked at him and felt like she was looking at a stranger
54:06on the 27th day of her captivity sophia learned to be obedient he asked one morning tying his tie
54:13by the bed what do you want to eat today her voice was calm whatever you make vincent's fingers paused
54:21a flash of surprise crossed his eyes followed by a smile all right he turned and went to the kitchen
54:28the moment he was gone sophia threw back the covers and pulled a micro computer from under the
54:34mattress stolen from his study last week she had breached the island's security system an encrypted
54:41distress signal was sent three nights later sophia stood on the edge of a cliff hurried footsteps came
54:47from behind alexander had arrived princess he yelled rushing towards me sophia glanced back at the guards
54:55chasing them and suddenly smile alexander are you afraid of heights before he could react
55:01sofia grabbed his hand and jumped off the cliff
55:06soaked to the bone sophia and alexander struggled onto a small hidden shore let's go alexander pulled
55:13her toward a waiting speedboat just then a blinding spotlight hit them vincent stood on the shore
55:19flanked by dozens of guards his voice was ice
55:26done running sophia shielded alexander with her body
55:29let him go vincent stared at her i can then smiled faintly but you have to stay before sophia
55:37could answer a loud rumbling came from the cliff above a giant boulder had come loose tumbling straight
55:44toward them watch out vincent lunged shoving both of them out of the way the boulder crashed
55:49down on his legs blood instantly stained the seawater red the impact threw sophia to the ground and her
55:56head hit a rock her vision blackened but she forced her eyes open she saw vincent lying in a pool
56:04of blood
56:04his face ashen his gaze locked on her sophia are you okay vincers let me go sophia's mouth opened
56:14but her vision went dark when vincent woke up the first thing he felt was a deep numbness in his
56:22legs
56:22the doctor stood by his bed his voice low mr marcelli your spinal nerves are damaged your lower body's
56:29motor functions might be he didn't finish but the meaning was clear marco's eyes were red i'll go tell
56:37miss sophia if she knows you did this to save her shut up vincent cut him off coldly no one
56:44says a
56:45word he turned to look out the window the sunlight stinging his eyes he remembered the last thing he
56:50saw sophia lying on the ground pale let me go forcing out the words in that moment he finally
56:59understood a pain worse than death some mistakes once made truly meant losing the one you love forever
57:06one month later vincent sat in his wheelchair watching the new sterling group ceo alexander sterling
57:13and italian social all married today in a grand ceremony on the screen sophia was in a wedding dress
57:19her smile brilliant she used to smile at him like that before he had sided with isabella time and time

57:33sir a package for you vincent took it it was a small box inside was a men's wedding band exquisitely
57:40crafted the inside was engraved to vincent with all my love s there was also a card vincent's hand
57:50trembled the ring fell to the ground with a soft clink so she had wanted to marry him a tearing
57:59pain
58:00ripped through his chest he doubled over gasping for breath a neighbor walked by and asked curiously sir

58:17illuminating his pale face but he knew she was never coming back the sun set leaving him alone in the
58:26ruins he lit a cigarette and looked toward the horizon as if he could still hear that proud voice calling
