AmusantTranscription
01:09A pale hand reached towards me. Long fingers. Elegant knuckles. Beautiful. Even sick.
01:20Miss Elena, I'm here to help you out. I'm sorry. I'm too weak to carry you inside.
01:26I froze. Then it hit me. Adrian Moretti had come in person. Blackberg's most untouchable heir. Rich,
01:34sharp, born to rule, and dying. I'd thought I'd be marrying a photograph. Instead,
01:39he was standing right in front of me. When I still didn't move, Adrian lowered his voice.
01:44I know I'm not much of a husband, but this is what my parents wanted. I don't want to disappoint
01:53them.
01:57I've had cash prepared for you. After the ceremony, if you want to stay or leave, no one will stop
02:03you.
02:04I'm sorry you got dragged into this.
02:06By the time he finished, his breathing was already uneven. He had even planned my way out for me.
02:13That alone made me feel a little safer.
02:17I don't feel wronged. Adrian helped me out of the car. The path to the chapel wasn't long,
02:23but he had to stop every few steps just to catch his breath. Sweat was already gathering on his forehead.
02:29Do you want me to carry you instead? I looked at him and blessed it out.
02:32I do housework all the time. I'm stronger than I look. I won't drop you.
02:35Adrian went still. Before he could refuse, I flipped back my veil.
02:39In the front row, Don Moretti and Mrs. Moretti both changed expression at once.
02:43They stared at my face, and I knew exactly what they were thinking.
02:46This bride doesn't look like the one in the photo.
02:52I had some work done. I don't look exactly the same as I did in the photo.
02:56Don Moretti's face darkened. Mine almost did too.
03:00I thought I'd just ruin the best thing that had ever happened to me.
03:03Then Adrian took my hand.
03:05Father, mother, the guests are waiting.
03:07His voice was weak, but it cut right through the tension.
03:10The wedding went on.
03:13Afterward, Adrian and I were taken to the bridal suite.
03:16He reached into the bedside drawer.
03:19I thought he was finally taking out the cash he'd promised me.
03:22Instead, he handed me a tube of ointment.
03:25Put this on your cuts. It'll help them heal faster.
03:28I looked down at my hands.
03:29They were covered in little cuts from yesterday's chores.
03:32I was so used to them, I barely noticed anymore.
03:36But he had.
03:37My eyes sting.
03:39Adrian smiled faintly.
03:41But there was something in his eyes I couldn't read.
03:43The car is waiting at the back gate.
03:45And the money, I...
03:47Five million dollars.
03:48I took off my veil and looked at him calmly.
03:51I can't give you five million in cash right now,
03:53but I can sign a will.
03:55When I die, my trust and everything in my name will go to you.
03:58I almost laughed.
03:59Who gets married and immediately tells his wife to wait for his inheritance?
04:03Adrian.
04:10What?
04:11Spending one night with me is worth a lot more than five million dollars.
04:19Adrian's face changed instantly.
04:21No.
04:22Before he could finish, he started coughing so hard he couldn't stop.
04:26Blood slipped from the corner of his mouth, like I'd scared him half to death.
04:30I stepped back fast and raised both hands.
04:34I didn't mean it like that.
04:36I mean, I want to...
04:38But the more nervous I got, the worse it sounded.
04:41I had never been good with words.
04:43Not like Chloe.
04:44Chloe knew how to pout, how to whine, how to act helpless and sweet.
04:48She'd say her hands hurt so she couldn't do chores.
04:51Then all the work would land on me.
04:53She wanted new dresses, new jewelry, new shoes.
04:56So I got whatever she didn't want.
04:57And last night, when they decided I would marry Adrian in her place,
05:01I didn't even have the right to say no.
05:06Tears spilled down my face before I could stop them.
05:09I just stood there, helpless.
05:12And Adrian, of all people, handed me a tissue.
05:16Elena, don't cry.
05:17I'm not rejecting you.
05:19I just...
05:20He broke into another fit of coughing.
05:22I took the tissue and wiped my face.
05:24I know, I'm not trying to force you.
05:26I just...
05:29The bridal store flew open.
05:32Mrs. Moretti stormed in with armed guards behind her.
05:36Hold her down.
05:37Before I could react, I was forced to my knees.
05:39I had no idea what was happening.
05:41Mrs. Moretti rushed to Adrian and checked him all over.
05:44The second she saw blood at his mouth, she snapped.
05:47The veils really have some nerve.
05:48Sending the wrong bride was bad enough.
05:50And now they send me a woman people call cursed?
05:53Do they think my son isn't dying fast enough already?
05:56She touched Adrian's face, furious and heartbroken all at once.
05:59Today, I'm getting an answer.
06:01We wiped out their debt, and this is how they repay us?
06:04Debt?
06:04I looked up sharply.
06:06My father had only said the Morettis were pressuring us.
06:09He never said I was being traded to settle what they owed.
06:13Something inside me cracked.
06:15Not long after, my father arrived with my stepmother and Chloe.
06:18The second he saw me, he slapped me across the face.
06:20You worthless girl.
06:21We sent you here to take care of Mr. Moretti, not act like the lady of the house.
06:25Pain burst across my cheek.
06:28Ever since I married into the Vale family, I've treated her like my own daughter.
06:33Even when she took Chloe's engagement, we never blamed her.
06:38She shot Chloe a look.
06:40Chloe burst into tears on cue.
06:42Sister, you wanted to marry into the Moretti family because you were tired of being poor.
06:46I let you have it.
06:47But how could you ignore the rest of us and drag the whole family down with you?
06:51They were panicking now, trying to dump all the blame on me.
06:55Mrs. Moretti had seen enough liars in her life to spot a cheap act instantly.
06:59She only gave a cold smile.
07:01So, what exactly do you think should happen now?
07:04My father bowed at once.
07:06Mrs. Moretti, one person should answer for what one person did.
07:09You can do whatever you want with this girl.
07:11Even if you take her life, we won't complain.
07:13We only ask that you don't drag the Vale family into this.
07:16As for my younger daughter, she's already engaged to a lawyer.
07:19She and Mr. Moretti were never meant to be.
07:23It felt like something sharp had gone straight through my heart.
07:27I stared at my father.
07:30Dad, am I not your daughter too?
07:33Why would you...
07:34His eyes flickered.
07:36But he said nothing.
07:37Then a weak voice broke the silence.
07:40If Mr. Vale is so eager to cut ties with her, then sign a disownment agreement.
07:46Everyone turned.
07:47Adrian was still pale as death, but he had somehow forced himself upright.
07:51She's my wife now.
07:54She's a Moretti.
07:56From this day on, she has nothing to do with the Vale family.
08:00The room went silent.
08:01The first one to object was Mrs. Moretti.
08:04Adrian, she's cursed!
08:05How can you keep her?
08:06Adrian only shook his head and held out his hand to me.
08:10Come here.
08:12Stand beside me.
08:13I looked up at him.
08:15His eyes were calm.
08:17Steady.
08:18Reassuring.
08:19My throat tightened, and I slowly walked over.
08:23He took my hand.
08:25His palm was cold.
08:27Mother, I don't believe in curses.
08:30If prayer alone could save people, your prayers would have healed me years ago.
08:35Then he looked at my father.
08:38Mr. Vale, what are you waiting for?
08:41Don't waste my wedding night.
08:44The agreement was brought out almost immediately.
08:47Adrian's tone never changed.
08:49I forgave the loan because she was family.
08:52If you have no connection to her anymore, you have no right to keep that favor.
08:57Tomorrow, my men will come collect the Vale family's debt.
09:01My stepmother and Chloe tried to protest.
09:04My father grabbed one by each arms and dragged them out before they could keep talking.
09:08Mrs. Moretti between Adrian and me, worry written all over her face.
09:12In the end, she said nothing, and left too.
09:15When the door closed, only Adrian and I were left in the room.
09:18He spoke first.
09:20Elena, when I refused you earlier, it wasn't because I was disgusted.
09:23My body is too weak for intimacy.
09:25He said it so calmly, it almost sounded like he was talking about the weather.
09:28I thought about my own blunt invitation and wanted to disappear.
09:32That was too forward of me, I'm sorry.
09:35Adrian smiled.
09:37You didn't do anything wrong.
09:38You don't need to apologize.
09:40Then he looked at me again.
09:41Now, can you tell me your name?
09:44Elena.
09:45He nodded, exhaustion written all over his face.
09:48Elena, it's late.
09:49We should sleep.
09:51He patted the empty side of the bed.
09:53You'll have to bear with this tonight.
09:55Tomorrow, I'll have another room prepared for you.
09:56The lights went out.
09:57I laid beside him in the dark, listening to his soft breathing.
10:01Then I asked the question that had been sitting in my chest all night.
10:04Why are you so good to me?
10:07He let out a quiet laugh.
10:09You called me a good man.
10:10I should probably see that through.
10:13Warmth spread through me before I could stop it.
10:15No one had spoken up for me like that since my mother died.
10:18At first, I only wanted to cure Adrian so I could leave my father's house and start living well.
10:22But now, now I truly wanted him to live.
10:25I climbed onto his chest and looked down at him seriously.
10:30Adrian, I'm going to make you better.
10:32And tonight, let's try.
10:41Try what?
10:46The next morning, I woke just before dawn.
10:49At my father's house, if I didn't get up early enough to work, I didn't get fed.
10:53My body had learned that too well.
10:55But the second I sat up, a hand gently pressed me back down.
10:59Elena, you can sleep a little longer.
11:01My father's out.
11:03My mother has business today.
11:06You don't have to see either of them.
11:08And you don't have to do anything.
11:10Something warms stirred in my chest.
11:12So I listened and lay back down.
11:15It was the best sleep I'd had since my mother died.
11:18When I woke again, Adrian was sitting at the table.
11:21A private doctor was checking him over.
11:24The doctor's face was grim.
11:26After a few sighs, he finally said,
11:28Mr. Moretti, the poison has done too much damage.
11:30All I can do is keep your numbers stable.
11:33The most important thing is this.
11:34No strain, no anger, no overexertion.
11:37Otherwise, no one will be able to save you.
11:40Adrian gave a faint, bitter smile.
11:42My parents have worried over me for years.
11:46Maybe if I died, they'd finally have some peace.
11:50He said it evenly.
11:52But I could hear it.
11:55He didn't want to die.
11:58He was still so young.
12:05I got out of bed and rested a hand on his shoulder.
12:09Adrian quickly hid whatever he'd been feeling
12:11and looked up at me gently.
12:13You're awake.
12:15Are you hungry?
12:16I had brunch prepared.
12:18The table was full of beautiful food.
12:20Just looking at it made me hungry.
12:22The Vale family wasn't poor.
12:24But desserts and tea were never for me.
12:26I only ever watched them finish eating,
12:28then cleaned up afterward.
12:30Thinking about that, I started eating fast.
12:33Really fast.
12:34By the time I looked up,
12:35most of it was gone.
12:37Adrian still hadn't touched a thing.
12:40He was just watching me.
12:43You're not eating?
12:45He shook his head.
12:48I haven't had much appetite in a long time.
12:53Slow down.
12:54If it's not enough, there's more in the kitchen.
12:56He shook his head.
12:57I paused.
12:59How could anyone not like food?
13:02I wiped the sauce from my mouth and asked quietly,
13:05Can you come back to my father's house with me?
13:10Noah, Adrian's bodyguard,
13:11spoke before Adrian could answer.
13:14No.
13:15Mr. Moretti is too weak.
13:17He hasn't left the estate in a long time.
13:19A man who never went outside,
13:21never saw the sun,
13:22never moved.
13:23How was he supposed to get better?
13:26My heart sank.
13:28Then I did the only thing I could think of.
13:30I put on the same helpless look Chloe always used when she wanted something.
13:34I'd watched her do it for years.
13:37I just didn't know whether it would work for me.
13:40But my mother's things are still there,
13:42and they already hate me.
13:44If I go back alone,
13:46Adrian remembered what had happened yesterday.
13:48The accusations.
13:49The slap.
13:50The way I'd been treated.
13:52After a moment,
13:54he gave in.
13:55I'll go with you.
13:56Noah,
13:57get the car ready.
13:58I pressed down my smile
13:59and helped Adrian into the car.
14:01All the way there,
14:02he didn't do what I expected.
14:04He didn't close his eyes.
14:06He didn't rest.
14:07He leaned against the window
14:09and watched Blackport drift past.
14:11So this is what the city looks like.
14:14It's lively.
14:15He said it so softly,
14:16it almost sounded like longing.
14:18Something in my chest tightened.
14:21I took his hand.
14:22To be honest,
14:23I haven't really seen much of Blackport either.
14:26When you feel better,
14:27we can come out together.
14:29Adrian looked at me.
14:31His eyes were unreadable,
14:33but he didn't answer.
14:37The second my father saw me
14:38getting out of a Moretti car,
14:40his face darkened.
14:41What are you doing back here?
14:44Did the Morettos send you to collect?
14:46I raised you all these years,
14:47and this is how you repay me?
14:49My stepmother stood beside him,
14:51dabbing at tears that weren't there.
14:53I may not be your real mother,
14:54but I always treated you like my daughter,
14:56and Chloe always treated you like a sister.
14:59Every good thing she had,
15:00she wanted to share with you.
15:02How could you break our hearts like this?
15:04She looked so hurt.
15:06You'd think I were the cruel one.
15:07What she forgot was this.
15:09My mother had barely been dead
15:10when she moved into the house.
15:13She made me sleep in a filthy storage room.
15:17If she was angry,
15:18she hit me.
15:19If she was in a bad mood,
15:21I didn't get fed.
15:23The day they decided to send me to the Morettis,
15:25I was relieved.
15:26For the first time in years,
15:28I was leaving the prison they called home.
15:30When you used me to pay off your debt,
15:32why weren't we family then?
15:33You signed the Disapponement Agreement yesterday.
15:35I have nothing to do with the Ville family anymore.
15:37I only came back for what my mother left me.
15:39My father hadn't expected me to talk back.
15:42His face changed instantly.
15:44What your mother left you?
15:46Everything in this house is mine.
15:48Try taking anything and see what happens.
15:50He raised his hand
15:51just as the car door behind me opened.
15:54Adrian stepped out.
15:56His face was pale,
15:58but his voice was cold.
15:59I'm still alive, Mr. Ville.
16:01And you dare raise your hand to my wife?
16:04My father and stepmother both froze.
16:08Mr. Morelli?
16:10You came in person?
16:13My father and stepmother kept their heads down,
16:16both looking stiff and miserable.
16:17They looked down on Adrian because he was sick.
16:20But he was still the only heir of the Moretti family.
16:22In front of him,
16:23they didn't dare speak out of line.
16:25If I hadn't come,
16:26I never would have known
16:27how the Ville family treats a Moretti wife.
16:29He said wife very deliberately.
16:31He was backing me.
16:32My father shot me a bitter look,
16:34then forced a smile.
16:35Mr. Morelli, you're right.
16:36We spoke carelessly.
16:38Adrian wasn't interested in letting them off that easily.
16:40Then apologize to my wife.
16:43Or do I need to have someone teach you how?
16:47The next second,
16:48both of them dropped to their knees in front of me.
16:51Elena, no, Mrs. Moretti.
16:52We're sorry.
16:53Please forgive us.
16:54My eyes stung.
16:55For years, I'd wanted one apology from them.
16:58Now that I finally had it,
17:00it didn't feel nearly as good as I'd imagined.
17:02I ignored them.
17:04Then led Adrian straight to the storage room.
17:07There was only one broken little bed inside.
17:10Adrian stopped in the doorway.
17:12His brows drew together.
17:15You lived here?
17:17I nodded.
17:19After my mother died,
17:20my father stopped caring about me.
17:23Then my stepmother and Chloe moved in,
17:25and there was no place left for me in that house.
17:29They always found ways to make my life miserable.
17:32I reached deep into the back of the cabinet
17:34and pulled out a worn old suitcase.
17:36Holding it tight,
17:37I turned back and looked at Adrian seriously.
17:40Adrian, today was the first time I've ever known
17:43what it feels like to have someone stand up for me.
17:45You're not a burden.
17:47You're the one protecting me.
17:49As long as you're alive,
17:51no one gets to bully me again.
17:54So, Adrian,
17:56please live.
18:00Adrian's eyes widened.
18:02For a long time, he said nothing.
18:05All his life,
18:06people had treated him like something fragile,
18:08something breakable.
18:09No one had ever told him his existence mattered.
18:12No one had ever told him he was useful.
18:15Slowly, the hand at his side tightened.
18:17Then he looked at me and said,
18:18with quiet seriousness,
18:19I'll try my best.
18:21We went back to the Moretti estate.
18:23It had only been one short trip.
18:27I helped him back to his room
18:28and got him into bed.
18:30Then I opened the suitcase
18:32I'd brought from my father's house.
18:33Inside were photos of my mother
18:35and a thick notebook
18:36full of medicinal research notes.
18:38It was the real inheritance she left me.
18:40I inherited her strange constitution.
18:43Any man who slept with me
18:44gradually got better,
18:45but Adrian was still too weak for sex
18:47or any kind of real physical strain
18:49before any of that.
18:50I had to strengthen him first.
18:52I flipped through the notebook
18:53until I found a restorative soup recipe.
18:56Then I headed for the kitchen.
18:59Servants stared at me the whole way there.
19:01So that's the new Mrs. Marotti?
19:03She looks pretty ordinary.
19:04If Mr. Marotti weren't sick,
19:06how could she ever have married into this family?
19:08If Mr. Marotti weren't sick,
19:09how could she ever have married into this family?
19:11What's she doing with groceries?
19:12Does she really think anything she makes
19:13is better than what the chef can do?
19:15I ignored them.
19:17I'd heard worse in my father's house.
19:18I spent two full hours in the kitchen.
19:22Then I carried the nourishing soup upstairs
19:24toward Adrian's room.
19:25But just as I reached the door,
19:27a maid stepped in front of me.
19:29Mr. Morelli's meals are handled by assigned staff.
19:32There's no need for you to interfere.
19:35The maid blocked my way,
19:37her tone sharp.
19:39For all we know,
19:40you could have put anything in that.
19:41I kept my voice steady,
19:43then have it checked.
19:45If it's clean, I'll bring it in.
19:47She only got nastier.
19:49You dragged Mr. Morelli out today,
19:51and now you're back with some suspicious homemade soup?
19:54We don't have time to play along with your act.
19:57If you know what's good for you,
19:58get lost.
19:59The door behind her opened before she finished.
20:02Adrian stood there, expressionless,
20:04one hand braced against the frame.
20:06I had no idea a maid
20:08outranked the lady of this house.
20:10The maid dropped to her knees instantly.
20:11Mr. Morelli,
20:12I was only worried she might harm you.
20:14Adrian didn't even look at her.
20:15He took the bowl from my hands
20:17and drank the whole thing.
20:20My wife was thinking about my health.
20:23You answered that with malice.
20:25Go take your punishment.
20:26And after that,
20:27you're done in this house.
20:28Now the maid truly panicked.
20:31She crawled toward me,
20:32clutching my skirt.
20:34Mrs. Moratti,
20:35I know I was wrong.
20:36Please say something for me.
20:38I...
20:38She never got to finish.
20:41The guards dragged her away.
20:43Adrian looked at me.
20:44You're my wife.
20:46No one in this house gets to mistreat you.
20:48If anyone disrespects you again,
20:49deal with them directly.
20:50That open,
20:51unapologetic protection
20:52hit me harder than I expected.
20:54From then on,
20:55no servant in the estate
20:56dared point fingers at me again.
20:58I helped Adrian back to bed
21:00and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
21:04You really weren't afraid I poisoned the soup?
21:07I trust you.
21:08His fingers brushed lightly
21:10over the back of my hand,
21:11still red from the hot pot.
21:13I looked at him
21:14and suddenly asked,
21:15If I tell you to do something
21:16from now on,
21:17Adrian paused.
21:19Then,
21:20after a moment,
21:21he nodded.
21:22The next morning,
21:23I dragged him out
21:24into the courtyard.
21:26Starting today,
21:27you're working out with me.
21:31Adrian stood in the courtyard,
21:32barely awake.
21:35Working out?
21:38Yes.
21:39If you want to live,
21:40you can't just lie in bed
21:41and swallow pills.
21:43I had changed into
21:44simple workout clothes
21:45and demonstrated a set
21:46of basic movements for him.
21:48Nothing complicated,
21:50just enough to loosen his body
21:51and start rebuilding strength.
21:54Adrian watched me
21:55with a helpless little look.
21:57Elena,
21:58my doctors have never told me
21:59to do any of this.
22:00That's why they still
22:01haven't cured you.
22:03I held out my hand to him.
22:06Didn't you say
22:07you trust me?
22:09He looked at me
22:09for a moment.
22:12I do.
22:13Then,
22:13he started copying
22:14my movements.
22:15In less than ten minutes,
22:17his face had turned white.
22:18He had one hand
22:19against the wall,
22:20struggling to catch
22:21his breath.
22:22A little after that,
22:23he ended up sitting
22:24on the ground,
22:25breathing hard.
22:26I'm sorry.
22:27I really don't think
22:28I can stay standing.
22:29I walked over
22:30and helped him up.
22:32For a first try,
22:34lasting this long
22:35is already amazing.
22:37You'll get better
22:37and better.
22:38By that afternoon,
22:40the whole estate
22:40was talking about me.
22:42Some said I was crazy.
22:43Others said I was trying
22:44to kill Adrian early
22:45so I could inherit faster.
22:47I ignored all of it.
22:49Every morning,
22:50I forced Adrian
22:51through light exercise
22:51and made sure
22:52he drank the soup on time.
22:54The rest of the day,
22:55he read to me
22:55in his room.
22:56I listened carefully,
22:58and the smile on his face
22:59appeared more and more often.
23:01Half a month later,
23:03Adrian no longer
23:03started coughing
23:04after every few steps.
23:08I blinked.
23:09Ever since you married
23:09into this family,
23:10you've done nothing
23:11but take care of me.
23:12Adrian explained softly,
23:14And last time,
23:14didn't you say
23:15you wanted to see
23:15Blackport with me?
23:17I knew he felt guilty.
23:19Still,
23:19I nodded.
23:21The harbor night market
23:22was lively and crowded.
23:24Food trucks,
23:26open air bars,
23:27street singers,
23:29harbor lights everywhere.
23:29I held Adrian's hand,
23:31happier than I expected to be.
23:33Back then,
23:34I had always been stuck
23:35at home cooking and cleaning.
23:37I had never seen
23:37anything like this.
23:38Chloe, on the other hand,
23:40always came home
23:41with gifts and stories
23:42just to show off
23:43in front of me.
23:44When we passed the harbor,
23:46I saw dozens of people
23:47hanging wooden wish plaques
23:49from a giant tree.
23:53Wait for me here.
23:54I'm going to buy one.
23:56Well, if it isn't
23:57Mrs. Moretti.
23:58I had just paid for it
23:59when a mocking voice
24:00sounded behind me.
24:01I turned around
24:02and saw Chloe
24:03with a man on her arm.
24:04You're out here
24:05having fun instead of
24:06taking care of that
24:07dying husband of yours?
24:08He was tall,
24:09sharp,
24:09and dressed in
24:10an expensive suit.
24:11That had to be Ethan,
24:12her lawyer fiancé.
24:13Adrian was still
24:14waiting for me.
24:15I didn't want trouble,
24:16so I turned to leave.
24:17Sister!
24:18Chloe stepped
24:19right in front of me.
24:20Do you really think
24:21you won just because
24:22you married into
24:23the Mirati family?
24:24Adrian could die any day.
24:25Ethan is legal counsel
24:26to the Velati family.
24:28His future is unlimited.
24:30I'll always end up
24:31better than you.
24:32Before she could say
24:33another word,
24:33a hand closed over mine.
24:35Adrian had stepped up
24:36beside me.
24:38Who gave you permission
24:39to speak to my wife
24:40like that?
24:42Chloe stiffened at once.
24:44Her smug expression
24:45vanished,
24:46and she shrunk
24:47behind Ethan.
24:48She clearly hadn't
24:49expected Adrian
24:49to come out with me.
24:50Ethan patted her hand
24:52and stepped forward.
24:55Mr. Morelli,
24:56Chloe only said
24:57a few truthful things.
25:00Throwing your weight
25:00around like this
25:01doesn't really suit you.
25:02I tightened my grip
25:02on Adrian's hand
25:03and looked up
25:04at him worriedly.
25:05Forget it.
25:06I'm fine.
25:06Let's just go
25:07hang the wish park.
25:08Chloe only wanted
25:09to humiliate me.
25:10I didn't want
25:11the Morettis
25:11clashing with the
25:12Violentis because of me,
25:13but Adrian didn't move.
25:15She insulted my wife,
25:17and she insulted
25:18the Morici family.
25:20This is Blackport.
25:21No one humiliates
25:23a Morici
25:24and walks away.
25:25Ethan's expression
25:26dartened.
25:27What exactly
25:28do you want?
25:29She apologizes
25:30to Elena.
25:31Adrian looked at Noah.
25:32Then she leaves
25:33the night market.
25:34Chloe shovered
25:35and looked at Ethan
25:36with watery eyes.
25:38Ethan,
25:39I'm scared.
25:41Ethan's voice
25:42turned cold.
25:43The Morettis
25:44are getting awfully arrogant.
25:45Adrian gave
25:46a light cough.
25:46Let me take it
25:47to the committee.
25:48Let the family
25:49representatives
25:49decide who started this.
25:51Ethan fell silent.
25:52The Volati family
25:53had been trying
25:53to take port business
25:54away from the Morettis.
25:56At a time like this,
25:57he didn't dare
25:57let the matter grow bigger.
25:59In the end,
26:00You said the wrong thing.
26:01He looked at Chloe.
26:02Apologize to Elena.
26:03Chloe stared at him
26:04like she couldn't believe
26:05what she was hearing,
26:06but Noah and the guards
26:08were already closing in.
26:09In the end,
26:10she had no choice.
26:12Red-eyed,
26:13she looked at me
26:14and said,
26:15I'm sorry.
26:19Only then
26:20did Adrian
26:21turn back to me
26:21and took my hand.
26:24Weren't you
26:25going to hang
26:25a wish pack?
26:26If we wait any longer,
26:27the whole tree
26:28will be full.
26:29When we reached
26:30the tree,
26:30I wrote,
26:31I hope Adrian
26:32gets well.
26:33Adrian watched me
26:34hang it from the branch.
26:35There was something
26:36like emotion
26:36shining in his eyes.
26:39When we got back
26:40to the estate.
26:44Mrs. Morena
26:45sent for me.
26:45I immediately
26:46got nervous.
26:47I thought word
26:47from the night market
26:48had reached her,
26:49but Adrian gave my hand
26:50a gentle squeeze.
26:51Don't be afraid.
26:52My mother worries
26:53too much,
26:54but she's not a bad person.
26:57I walked into the study.
26:58Mrs. Marotti
26:59was sitting on the sofa
27:00looking me over.
27:01There was no hostility
27:02in her eyes anymore.
27:03These past weeks
27:04you've been dragging
27:05Adrian around
27:05and making him
27:06do all sorts of things.
27:07He even had someone
27:08tell me not to interfere.
27:10and today
27:10he argued with people
27:11for you.
27:12Her tone stayed calm.
27:13That was when I realized
27:14that all this time
27:15the peace I'd had
27:15in this house
27:16wasn't luck.
27:16Adrian had been
27:17quietly protecting me.
27:18Something sweet
27:19stirred in my chest.
27:20I'm not dragging him around.
27:21The soup and the exercise
27:23really are helping him.
27:24Mrs. Moretti gestured
27:25for me to sit beside her.
27:27I'm not blaming you.
27:28That day I was too harsh.
27:29I've seen the change
27:30in Adrian myself.
27:31If anything,
27:31I should be thanking you.
27:33Then little by little
27:34she started talking
27:34as if she had years
27:36of grief
27:36botted up inside her.
27:37You've probably heard
27:38that Adrian's condition
27:39started when he was
27:40poisoned as a child.
27:41He was eight.
27:42Someone handed him
27:43a bottle of water
27:44at school.
27:44Who did it?
27:45The Velotti family.
27:47I stared at her
27:47in disbelief,
27:48but we never had proof
27:49so all these years
27:50we could only stand by
27:50and watch him suffer.
27:51She took my hand.
27:52I'm not telling you
27:53this to pressure you.
27:54If you can't save him,
27:56don't blame yourself.
27:56He's been happier lately
27:57than I've seen him in years.
27:58That alone means
27:59something to me.
28:00When I left the study,
28:01she fastened a sapphire
28:02bracelet around my wrist.
28:03This belonged to the women
28:04of the Moretti family.
28:06From today on,
28:07you are one of us.
28:08Looks like my mother
28:08really likes you.
28:09When I got back to the room,
28:10Adrian saw the bracelet
28:11and smiled.
28:12I threw my arms around him.
28:14Thinking about everything
28:14she had just told me,
28:15my heart ached for him.
28:17You've suffered enough,
28:18but it's almost over now.
28:20Just seven more days
28:21of strengthening his body
28:22and I'd finally be able
28:23to keep my promise.
28:27Over the next few days,
28:28Mrs. Moretti started teaching me
28:30how to manage family business.
28:31Port logistics,
28:32real estate projects,
28:33casino cash flow.
28:34She dropped everything
28:35in front of me
28:36like it was nothing.
28:37I looked at it all
28:38until my scalp
28:38practically went numb.
28:40If Adrian isn't here one day,
28:42you'll have to know
28:42these things.
28:43On the seventh morning,
28:45I woke up in Adrian's arms.
28:47His body no longer felt
28:48as cold as it had
28:49when I first met him.
28:51Adrian,
28:52I've got a surprise
28:53for you tonight.
28:56Funny.
28:57I've got one too.
28:58Adrian smiled
28:59and reached under his pillow.
29:01Open it.
29:02Tell me if you like
29:03your birthday gift.
29:06I opened the box.
29:08Inside was a delicate necklace.
29:10I froze.
29:11Tears instantly gathered
29:12in my eyes.
29:13How did you know
29:14it was my birthday?
29:16I had someone look into it.
29:18I wanted to know
29:19more about you.
29:20At my father's house,
29:21no one ever remembered
29:22my birthday.
29:23I used to hide in the kitchen
29:25with a piece of bread
29:25and pretend it was cake.
29:27Chloe, meanwhile,
29:28always got expensive gifts,
29:30real cakes,
29:30and a house full of people
29:31celebrating her.
29:32Tears slipped down my face
29:34before I could stop them.
29:35Adrian reached up
29:36and gently wiped them away.
29:38Don't cry.
29:38It's your birthday.
29:39You're supposed to be happy.
29:40I already asked my parents
29:42to come back tonight.
29:43We'll celebrate with you.
29:45I threw my arms around him.
29:48From now on,
29:48we celebrate
29:49every birthday together.
29:50When Mrs. Moretti
29:52found out it was my birthday,
29:53she had a full dinner prepared.
29:58But before Don Moretti
29:59returned home,
30:00a group of investigators
30:02stormed into the estate.
30:07The one in front
30:08held up a warrant.
30:09Don Moretti
30:10is under investigation
30:11for international
30:12weapons smuggling
30:13and collusion
30:14with armed foreign groups.
30:16No one moves.
30:18Everyone stays
30:19for questioning.
30:26Mrs. Moretti
30:27staggered back in shock,
30:29then snapped at once.
30:31That's impossible.
30:32My husband would never
30:33do anything like that.
30:34The investigator's face
30:35stayed blank.
30:36The Volati group
30:36has already submitted evidence
30:38to the district attorney's office.
30:39Don Moretti
30:40is in custody.
30:41The Blackport Underground Committee
30:42has frozen Moretti assets
30:44and suspended
30:44the family's
30:45port operating rights.
30:46Mrs. Moretti
30:47turned pale,
30:47then fainted on the spot.
30:49Doctor!
30:50Get the family doctor now!
30:51The whole estate
30:52dissolved into chaos.
30:54Adrian stayed with Noah
30:55and the guards
30:55while the investigators
30:56searched everything.
30:57Port files,
30:59estate safes,
31:00casino ledgers.
31:01They tore through all of it
31:02and found nothing.
31:05When I found Adrian,
31:06he was standing
31:07by the study window,
31:08looking worse than ever.
31:10It's a divorce agreement.
31:11Sign it.
31:11He handed me a document.
31:13Adrian stared at me.
31:14I'll have someone
31:14take you out of Blackport.
31:16I have a friend in Los Angeles.
31:17He'll look after you.
31:18I ripped the papers in half.
31:19My eyes stared burned.
31:20Do you really think
31:20I'm that kind of person?
31:21The Moretti family
31:22gave me protection
31:23and the second something
31:24goes wrong, I run?
31:25If the Valentists
31:26made their move now,
31:26that means they've planned
31:27this carefully.
31:28Adrian looked away.
31:29Elena,
31:29I'm afraid you'll get
31:30dragged down with us.
31:31I threw my arms around him,
31:32voice shaking.
31:33You said we'd celebrate
31:34every birthday together.
31:36How could I leave you now?
31:37Your father hasn't been
31:38convicted yet.
31:39There has to be a way
31:40out of this.
31:41I'm staying.
31:42I'll face this with you.
31:43Adrian buried his face
31:44against my neck
31:45and said quietly,
31:47Thank you.
31:48I'll make sure
31:49you come through this safely.
31:50That night,
31:51for the first time,
31:52I saw murder
31:53in Adrian's eyes.
31:57After Don Moretti
31:58was taken away,
31:59the estate started
32:00falling apart.
32:01Some people wanted out.
32:02Some were already trying
32:03to reach the Velotti family
32:05in secret.
32:05Using what Mrs. Moretti
32:07had taught me,
32:07I paid off anyone
32:08who wanted to leave
32:09and let them go.
32:10Anyone who stayed
32:11got reassigned.
32:12Adrian had barely
32:13been sleeping.
32:14The health he'd just
32:15started getting back
32:16was slipping again.
32:18I watched him
32:19sit in the study,
32:20going through
32:21forged documents
32:22again and again,
32:23and it hurt
32:24to look at him.
32:26The evidence
32:27is too complete.
32:28We can't save my father
32:30through normal chorners.
32:31He reached up
32:32and touched my face.
32:33His expression
32:34was full of love
32:35and resolve.
32:36But that doesn't mean
32:38there's no way.
32:38What are you planning?
32:40I looked at him sharply.
32:41He didn't answer.
32:44Elena.
32:45He only rested his chin
32:46against my shoulder.
32:48I'm tired.
32:50Let me hold you
32:51for a while.
32:52That night,
32:53he kissed me.
32:56Softly.
32:58The next morning,
32:59I woke up in the back
33:00of a moving car.
33:01I shot upright.
33:02Noah was in the front seat.
33:06Where are we going?
33:09Mr. Morelli said
33:10there was a problem
33:10at the Los Angeles warehouse.
33:12He asked you to handle it.
33:13I stared at him.
33:15At a time like this,
33:16why would he send me away?
33:18Noah didn't answer.
33:20The car kept speeding
33:22toward the freeway.
33:27I grabbed the gun
33:28from the contul
33:29and pressed it
33:29to my own temple.
33:31If you don't stop
33:32right now,
33:33I die right here.
33:35Noah slammed on the brakes.
33:37His face turned ugly.
33:39Mr. Morelli went to
33:40the underground committee.
33:42He's filing for a public hearing.
33:44And if the committee
33:45refuses to hear him,
33:46he'll be forced
33:47into disciplinary review.
33:48I said immediately.
33:50Turn around.
33:53By the time we got
33:54to the committee building,
33:55I saw Adrian standing
33:56in the rain.
33:57His body still looked
33:58too thin,
33:59too pale,
33:59but he kept knocking anyway.
34:01Don Marotti guarded
34:02Blackboard's docks
34:03for 20 years.
34:04He never crossed the line.
34:05I demand a public hearing!
34:08No!
34:09He kept shouting,
34:11kept pounding on the door,
34:13until his strength
34:14finally gave out
34:16and he collapsed.
34:19I jumped out of the car
34:20and caught him
34:21before he hit the ground.
34:23His eyes met mine
34:24in disbelief.
34:26Why are you back?
34:27I didn't answer.
34:28I passed him to Noah,
34:29then marched to the door
34:30and slammed my fist
34:32against it again.
34:33After a long while,
34:35it finally opened.
34:36The man who stepped out
34:37was Ethan.
34:38Well,
34:39if it isn't the Moretti family's
34:40sick little heir.
34:42You want a hearing?
34:43Then you follow
34:44committee rules.
34:45You take 20 disciplinary strikes
34:46before your request
34:47is formally accepted.
34:48He smiled coldly.
34:49Do you think your body
34:50can handle that?
34:51If you die here,
34:52what a terrible shame
34:53that would be.
34:53You're doing this on purpose!
34:55Rage shot through me.
34:56Ethan only shrugged.
34:57Those are the rules.
34:58You can take him and leave.
35:00But how long Don Moretti
35:01lasts in holding after that,
35:02who knows?
35:04Adrian stepped out
35:05from behind me
35:06and straightened his back.
35:07I'll take the 20.
35:08I grabbed his sleeve
35:09and shook my head desperately.
35:10No!
35:11You can't!
35:11Your body won't survive it!
35:13I'll take them for you!
35:14He cut me off gently.
35:16These past weeks,
35:17the soup,
35:19the training,
35:20I really am stronger
35:21than I was.
35:21You've already done enough for me.
35:22I won't drag you
35:23in any deeper.
35:25Noah pulled me back.
35:27I could only watch
35:28as they forced Adrian
35:29to the ground.
35:30The first strike landed.
35:32He gave a muffled run,
35:34then spit blood
35:36onto the pavement.
35:36I cried so hard
35:38I could barely
35:38stay standing.
35:39By the time
35:40all 20 were over,
35:41I threw myself
35:42at his side
35:43and held him up
35:44with my own body.
35:45Don't cry.
35:46He slowly lifted a hand
35:47and wiped away my tears.
35:48Wait for me at home.
35:51I waited outside
35:52the committee building,
35:53pacing so hard
35:54my legs started to ache.
35:56It was already dark
35:57by the time
35:57they finally brought
35:58Adrian out.
35:59He was being
36:00half carried.
36:01Behind him,
36:02a committee clerk
36:02with a document
36:03in hand.
36:04The committee has decided
36:05to temporarily preserve
36:06the Moretti family's
36:07port operating rights.
36:09The North Port
36:09is currently controlled
36:10by the Ricci family.
36:11We have reason to believe
36:12transaction records
36:13related to this case
36:14are there.
36:14I forced myself
36:15to stay calm,
36:16took the papers.
36:17Adrian Moretti,
36:18you are authorized
36:18to go to North Port
36:19and retrieve them.
36:20If the evidence
36:20supports your claim,
36:22the committee will direct
36:22the district attorney's office
36:23to reopen Don Moretti's case.
36:25I forced myself
36:26to stay calm,
36:27took the papers,
36:28and helped Adrian
36:28into the car.
36:29As we turned,
36:30Chloe came walking
36:31out of the committee housing
36:32with Ethan on her arm.
36:33She smirked.
36:34Looks like you really
36:35are bad luck, Elena.
36:36First your mother dies,
36:37now the Moretti family
36:38is falling apart.
36:40Looks like you're
36:40about to be a widow too.
36:41I hit her so hard,
36:43her head snapped sideways.
36:44My past is one thing,
36:46but if you ever run
36:46your mouth like that
36:47in front of me again,
36:48I won't let it go.
36:49Back at the estate,
36:50the doctor was treating
36:51Adrian's wounds
36:52when Mrs. Moretti rushed in
36:53and burst into tears.
36:56This is sending him
36:57to his death!
36:58I stayed by Adrian's side
36:59without leaving him
37:00for even a second.
37:01He'd lost too much blood.
37:03His face was white as paper.
37:04It felt like a knife
37:06was twisting in my chest.
37:07Four hours later,
37:08he finally woke up.
37:09When he saw I wasn't speaking,
37:11he started explaining
37:12right away.
37:13Elena,
37:14I'm sorry.
37:15I shouldn't have
37:16kept this from you.
37:16I only meant to apply
37:17for a hearing.
37:18It was the Valti people
37:19pushing me from the side.
37:20They want my father dead
37:21and they want me dead too.
37:22I had to walk into
37:23the trap on purpose.
37:24Then he pulled out
37:25another damn divorce agreement.
37:27This time,
37:27I may not come back.
37:28I already signed it.
37:29Once you sign,
37:30it takes effect.
37:30I threw the papers aside.
37:33Adrian,
37:33do you trust me?
37:35He looked at me blankly
37:36until I leaned down
37:37and kissed him.
37:38I whispered against his lips,
37:40Tonight,
37:41I'm going to make you
37:42better for real.
37:43This time,
37:44he didn't refuse me.
37:45The lights in our bridal room
37:47stayed on all night.
37:48We'll be right back.
37:50And finally,
37:53you're going to make you
37:53Sous-titrage FR ?
