00:30Come in
00:30His eyes went wide
00:31He gave a small huff and walked in
00:33I closed the door behind him
00:35He was looking around the tiny apartment
00:37The second he noticed me watching, he looked away fast
00:40His small fingers gripped the straps of his backpack
00:44I'm Leo Moretti
00:45It sounded like an introduction
00:47Or maybe a warning
00:48A reminder that he was the son I'd brought into this world with Alessandro
00:52Actually, I recognized him the moment I opened the door
00:55He looks exactly like my ex-husband, Alessandro Moretti
00:58Leo seemed almost disappointed that I was staying so calm
01:01I picked up his small backpack and led him toward the sink
01:05Wash your hands first
01:07Okay
01:07He did it without arguing
01:09Washed his hands carefully
01:10By the time I brought the food to the table
01:13He was already seated
01:14Why did you come to me all of a sudden?
01:16His little head low
01:17Poking at the broccoli in his bowl with a fork
01:20We had a fight
01:21He threw something and told me to get out
01:23Said I could never come back
01:25So he'd run off
01:26Alessandro would probably send someone to pick him up soon
01:29After all, six years ago
01:31The Moretti family had fought me tooth and nail over custody of Leo
01:34They would never abandon their heir
01:36No broccoli
01:38No carrots
01:40Is this the veggie mix you made?
01:42Looks good, can I have some?
01:44I'll trade you
01:46Oh, okay
01:48Leo stole a glance at me
01:49A hint of guilt in his eyes
01:51I took a bite of broccoli with a smile
01:54Wow, this is actually really good
01:57Wanna try?
01:58Leo's face turned red
02:00He looked down without a word
02:01And forked some vegetables off my plate
02:03When he had first shown up
02:04He had carried himself like a spoiled kid
02:06Now, he quietly finished every vegetable on his plate
02:10Clearly, the Morettis had spoiled him
02:12But they hadn't heard him
02:13That thought gave me a small sense of relief
02:15And right behind it, a sharp ache
02:18Soon enough, someone from the Moretti family would come for him
02:21And after that, I might never see this child again
02:249.30 came and went
02:25Nobody showed up
02:26A six-year-old gets tired early
02:28Leo pulled a tiny set of pajamas out of his backpack
02:31He glanced around the apartment
02:33There's only one bedroom
02:34So, are we sleeping in the same bed tonight?
02:37The Morettis still hadn't come
02:38Fine, you can sleep with me tonight
02:40A spark lit up in his eyes
02:42Once he changed into his pajamas
02:44He climbed into bed
02:45Kicking his little legs happily
02:47He burrowed under the blanket
02:49Making a little lump
02:50Somehow, he produced a storybook from under there
02:52He watched me sneakily and pushed
02:54Aren't you gonna read me a bedtime story?
02:56Seeing that hidden smile in his eyes
02:58Whatever refusal I'd been about to say
03:00Just wouldn't come out
03:01Once he finally fell asleep
03:03I dug up Alessandra Moretti's phone number
03:06I stared at it for a long time
03:08In the end, I didn't call
03:09We'd been divorced six years
03:11Six years ago
03:12The night before our wedding
03:13My family's business collapsed overnight
03:16The Moretti family demanded the engagement be called off immediately
03:20The Old Godfather arranges the engagement between Alessandro and Victoriano
03:24For my sake, Alessandro refused
03:27Without a second thought
03:28He even gave up his position as heir to the family
03:31To force Alessandro into submission
03:32The Old Don ordered him whipped
03:34The brutal Sicilian way
03:36He was bedridden for half a month after that
03:38But every time he saw me crying
03:40He'd fight through the pain
03:41It's okay
03:43Everything's gonna be fine
03:44Trust me
03:46I'll be okay
03:47Your family will bounce back too
03:49Our future's gonna be good
03:52None of that happened
03:53We got married in secret in Vegas
03:55Telling no one
03:56Because of how firm Alessandro had been
03:58Once I got pregnant
04:00I never once considered giving up our baby
04:02The day I went into labor
04:03I called him over and over through the pain
04:06He never picked up
04:07A kind neighbor got me to a private hospital
04:09When I finally woke up
04:11The person waiting by my bed wasn't Alessandro
04:13It was a stunning blonde woman
04:15I'd never seen before
04:16I'm Victoria Romano
04:18Alexandro's fiancé
04:19Glad you're still alive
04:21Here, sign this
04:22It was a divorce agreement
04:24On the signature line, his handwriting
04:26Agreed to divorce
04:28I want to see Alessandro
04:30He's not coming
04:31You're refusing to sign, huh?
04:33Get in here!
04:34Two burly bodyguards in black appeared behind her
04:37Hey, this is a patient's room
04:39Get out!
04:40The bodyguards shoved them all out
04:42Hold her hands down
04:44Make her sign
04:45No!
04:47I dragged myself off the bed
04:48Struggling
04:49The bodyguards closed in
04:51And I backed away
04:52Step by step
04:53Until I hit the corner of the room
04:55My C-section incision tore open
04:57Blood ran down my stomach
04:59Alexandra, where are you?
05:01Right then, on the side table
05:03My phone started ringing
05:04In the split second
05:05The bodyguards hesitated
05:07I lunged for the side table
05:08The screen showed the caller
05:09Alessandro
05:10Help me!
05:11The next second
05:11The guards walked me
05:12And tore the phone from my hand
05:14Victoria took it
05:15Walked to the window
05:16And stuck her arm out into open air
05:18Why won't you just accept reality?
05:20He's done with you
05:21Sign now
05:22Or I drop this phone
05:24I won't sign until I see him in person
05:26Then say goodbye
05:27To your phone
05:28She smiled sweetly
05:29And was about to let go
05:30Then froze
05:31Alessandro's voice came through the speaker
05:33Isabella?
05:34Something clicked in my head
05:35Victoria had forgotten to hang up
05:37This was my only shot
05:39I lunged at her
05:40Alexandro!
05:41I'm at
05:42No!
05:43My mouth was covered
05:44And the bodyguards in black
05:45Pressed me down onto the cold floor
05:47You little bitch
05:48You almost ruined my manicure
05:49Break her ribs
05:50One at a time
05:51Until she signs
05:52The bodyguards exchanged a love
05:53Hesitating
05:54Miss, what if Alessandro finds out?
05:56He's the most ruthless head
05:57The Moretti family's ever had
05:58So what?
05:59I'm his wife
05:59This woman is nothing
06:00A baby's cry cut through her screeching
06:03Her eyes lit up
06:04Like a snake spotting prey
06:05Victoria walked over to the crib
06:07Ah
06:08That's your baby, isn't it?
06:11Don't touch him!
06:12I threw myself at her
06:13Knocking her down
06:14I squeezing with everything I had
06:16Praying I could choke the life
06:18Out of that snake
06:18The guards ran over
06:19And tore us apart
06:24How dare you?
06:25I'll pay you back double for this
06:27She lunged at the crib
06:28I screamed
06:29Broke free of the guards
06:31And dropped to my knees
06:33At Victoria's feet
06:33I was wrong
06:34It's all my fault
06:35Do whatever you want to me
06:36Just please don't hurt my baby
06:37Oh, now you know you were wrong?
06:38While you were choking me
06:40Did you ever stop to think
06:40What your son's future looks like?
06:42Once I marry Alexandro
06:43Babies forget fast
06:45One day he'll call me mom
06:46And then I can do whatever I want with him
06:48I froze, dot, my mind
06:50Went completely blank
06:51Slap yourself 20 times
06:53Or I choke him right now
06:54Don't
06:55I'll do it right now
06:56One slap
06:57And my cheek swelled up instantly
06:59Keep going
07:00A bodyguard dragged a chair over for Victoria
07:03She sat down
07:04Crossed her legs
07:05Actually, I changed my mind
07:0820's not enough
07:09Don't stop
07:10Until I say stop
07:11Victoria smiled
07:13The corner of my mouth split open
07:15Blood dripped down my chin
07:16And I didn't even know who I was supposed to hate
07:18Should I hate Alessandro?
07:20But it wasn't his fault
07:21His heart changed
07:22Should I hate Faye?
07:23What would that even change?
07:25Nothing
07:25I don't know how many slaps later
07:27I passed out on the floor
07:28The guards shook me awake again
07:30Victoria tossed the divorce agreement down in front of me
07:33Sign it
07:34My hands shook so badly
07:35I could barely hold the pen
07:37Look at you
07:38So pathetic
07:39Here, let me give you some good news
07:42About your parents
07:45Your parents heard you'd given birth
07:46And were driving over to see you
07:47Too bad
07:48Just now they got into a car accident
07:49Doctors say they might never wake up
07:51Vegetative state
07:52For the rest of their lives
07:54Such bad luck
07:55Don't you think?
07:56I completely fell apart
07:57Her words looped in my head
07:59Over and over
08:00The whole world suddenly felt unbearably heavy
08:03Exhausting beyond words
08:05I walked to the window and looked down
08:06Just then the baby in the crib
08:08Let out a sharp piercing cry
08:10Somewhere in my fog of a mind
08:12A thought surfaced
08:13If I died
08:14What would happen to him?
08:15Would this world even let him exist?
08:17Would Victoria hurt him?
08:19Or would Alessandro abandon him too?
08:20The same way he'd abandoned me
08:23My whole body was shaking
08:24I walked back to the crib
08:26My trembling hands reached slowly
08:28Toward his small delicate throat
08:29I wanted to take him with me
08:31Then he stopped crying
08:32He looked up at me
08:33Full of trust
08:34Like no matter where we went
08:36All he wanted was to stay by his mom's side
08:39Nurses and doctors burst into the room
08:41And pulled me away from the crib
08:42I stared down at my shaking hands
08:44It was only then I realized what I'd almost done
08:47The old Don of the Moratti family
08:49Personally requested to see me
08:50The custody battle over Leo
08:52Broke out right after
08:53In the end
08:54I asked for nothing
08:55I gave up custody without a fight
08:57From start to finish
08:59Alessandro never once came to see me
09:01He must have been completely done with me by then
09:04Couldn't even stand to look at me again
09:06So I accepted it
09:08Let go of that relationship
09:09And everything that came before it
09:12Then
09:12A voice close
09:13Right beside me cut through the memory
09:15Mom
09:16Leo mumbled something
09:17Half asleep
09:18I blinked
09:19Snapping back to the present
09:21He was sleeping soundly
09:22Curled up next to me
09:23His little fingers gripped my sleeve
09:26I looked down at his peaceful
09:27Innocent face
09:28And let out a quiet sigh
09:30If he knew I'd try to kill him
09:32The day he was born
09:33Would he still have come looking for me
09:35He had probably run as far from me as possible
09:38Morning comes
09:39While in deep sleep
09:40Alessandro still hadn't shown up
09:42I didn't get what he was playing at
09:43I woke Leo up early
09:45Flagged down a cab
09:46And took him to school
09:47His preschool was clear
09:49On the other side of the city
09:50Lucky for us
09:51The ride only took about an hour
09:53After getting off the vehicle
09:54He made me promise
09:55Over and over
09:56That I'd pick him up after school
09:58He even hugged me tight
10:00And wouldn't let go
10:01A little boy got out of the SUV
10:02Leo took my hand
10:04And walked toward him
10:06Mom
10:06You're picking me up after school, right?
10:08If you have a mom
10:10Why'd she never take you to school before?
10:13My mom's busy with work
10:15She took the day off
10:16Just to pick me up today
10:17Still holding my hand
10:19He strutted toward the preschool gate
10:20Right before he walked in
10:22He turned back around
10:23You're really coming to get me, right?
10:25I didn't answer right away
10:26You promised me!
10:28Grown-ups aren't allowed to lie!
10:29I sighed, helpless
10:30I crouched down
10:31And fixed his wrinkled collar
10:32I'll be there
10:33I promise
10:35Okay
10:35I'll be waiting
10:37I didn't look away
10:38Until his small figure
10:39Disappeared into the building
10:40I found his teacher
10:41And asked how Leo
10:42Was doing at school
10:43Excuse me, teacher
10:44Is Leo adapting to life at school?
10:46She hesitated for a long moment
10:48I know the Moretti family
10:49Has a lot of influence
10:50So maybe this won't matter
10:52But Mrs. Moretti
10:53No matter how busy you are
10:54You can't just ignore your child like this
10:56Since Leo enroll
10:57No one has ever come
10:58To a single parent teacher meeting
10:59All the other kids think
11:00He doesn't have a mom
11:01If this keeps up
11:02It's going to seriously hurt
11:03His emotional development
11:04No one had ever come
11:05To a parent teacher meeting
11:06Even if he didn't care about Leo
11:08Couldn't he have sent an advisor?
11:09An assistant?
11:10Anyone he trusted?
11:11Something tightened in my chest
11:13For the first time
11:14I started to wonder
11:15If the choice I'd made
11:16All those years ago
11:17Had been wrong
11:18Maybe I shouldn't have
11:19Given up custody
11:19But back then
11:20I had nothing
11:21My parents were lying comatose
11:23In a hospital bed
11:24How could I possibly have raised
11:25A fragile little baby on my own?
11:27I pulled up Alessandro's number again
11:29After a short hesitation
11:30I called
11:31It was time we talked
11:32If he no longer wants Leo
11:34I will bring our son home
11:35As soon as the call connected
11:36Alessandro got out of the car
11:39You've avoided me for six years
11:40So
11:42Let's talk
11:43In that surreal instant
11:44The way he looked at me
11:45I couldn't read it at all
11:46I'd heard he inherited
11:48The entire Moretti empire
11:49From the old dawn
11:50I'd heard a luxury brand he founded
11:52Had become a global phenomenon
11:54I'd also heard he had gotten married
11:55In secret years ago
11:57Those memories I'd buried so long ago
11:59Ten years came crashing down on me
12:01All at once
12:02It wasn't until this moment
12:03Standing in front of him again
12:05That I finally understood
12:06I'd thought I was over it
12:08I wasn't
12:09We sat down at a choir cafe nearby
12:12So
12:12Do you still want Leo?
12:15Of course
12:16Then don't forget to pick him up after school
12:18If you don't have time for parent-teacher conferencing
12:20Just tell me
12:21I won't interfere in your lives
12:23So you only wanted to talk to me about Leo?
12:25I took a deep breath out of helplessness
12:27I don't understand
12:29Everything between us ended six years ago
12:30You fell for someone else
12:33We got divorced
12:34It's that simple
12:36Besides Leo
12:37What else is there to talk about?
12:39Fine
12:40I don't want Leo anymore
12:42What's that supposed to mean?
12:43If you want to raise him
12:44He's yours
12:44For his sake
12:46His health
12:47His emotional well of him
12:48I'll stay at your place
12:49From Friday night to Monday morning
12:50So we can raise him together
12:51After that
12:52I'll drive straight back
12:53To syndicate headquarters
12:55We're divorced
12:57Are we?
12:58I never signed that paper
12:59The words hit me like lightning
13:02Back then
13:03Victoria had handed me
13:04The divorce agreement herself
13:05His signature was right there on it
13:07I'd spent six years believing
13:09He'd simply stopped loving me
13:11But now he was telling me
13:12He'd never signed it
13:13Then why wait six years
13:14To come find me?
13:15I wasn't arrogant enough
13:16To believe he still loved me
13:18Maybe the paperwork
13:19Got lost somewhere
13:20Maybe there'd been some legal error
13:21And it needed to be signed again
13:23There were a dozen possible explanations
13:25I took a breath
13:26And answered evenly
13:27Then let's just sign a new one
13:28No
13:29Once we sign we're both free
13:31Isn't that better?
13:32No
13:34Are you worried about the assets?
13:35I don't want your shares
13:36Or your money
13:36No
13:37Three flat refusals dotted
13:39Made me angry
13:40And stirred up some strange
13:41Unwanted nostalgia
13:42He'd always been like this
13:44It reminded me of his 18th birthday
13:46A pack of spoiled heirs
13:47Had cornered me
13:48One of them said something filthy
13:49Before anyone could react
13:51Alessandro kicked him
13:52Straight into the pool
13:53The splash echoed
13:54Across the whole estate
13:55Every influential family
13:57In the city
13:58Was there to see it
13:58The elders looked furious
14:00When they demanded
14:01An explanation
14:01Alessandro said nothing
14:03Not once
14:04To protect my reputation
14:05He never even said my name
14:07He refused to apologize
14:08The old Don whipped him
14:10Until he could barely stand
14:11No one could have guessed
14:12That the birthday of the man
14:14Who'd one day ruled
14:15The entire Moretti family
14:16Would be spent
14:17In the estate's punishment room
14:19The heavy latch
14:20On the estate's punishment room
14:21Door stayed shut
14:22I curled up outside the door
14:24I'm sorry
14:26You didn't have to kick him
14:27He wouldn't have dared
14:29Touch me
14:30Don't cry
14:32This was my choice
14:33It's got nothing to do with you
14:36With Alessandro
14:37Refusing to budge
14:38Our conversation fell apart
14:40I've stormed off
14:41Too angry
14:42To even say goodbye
14:43I took a leave
14:44From the magazine
14:45I worked for
14:46Six years of missed motherhood
14:48I couldn't bring myself
14:49To break my promise
14:50To Leo
14:50When school let out
14:51The street was lined
14:53With luxury cars
14:53Then I spotted
14:54Alessandro's familiar
14:56Black Bentley
14:56Pull up right in front of Leo
14:58I panicked
14:59And ducked out of sight
15:00What was I even thinking?
15:02A moment later
15:03The Bentley pulled away
15:04For some reason
15:05Leo's small face
15:07Flashed through my mind
15:08We might never see
15:09Each other again
15:10Almost without thinking
15:11I turned to look back
15:12Leo was still standing alone
15:14His big round eyes
15:15Met mine
15:16The second he recognized me
15:18They lit up instantly
15:20He took off running toward me
15:22Dot his teacher
15:23Reached out fast
15:24And caught him
15:24Leo puffed out his cheeks
15:26Arguing with her
15:27About something
15:27I was worried about him
15:28And instinctively
15:29Stepped forward
15:30His teacher saw me coming
15:32And let go
15:32Leo sprinted across
15:33The sidewalk toward me
15:35By the time he reached me
15:36He was out of breath
15:37His dark eyes were shining
15:38Brighter than I'd ever seen them
15:40Only once he got close
15:41Did he deliberately slow down
15:43You really came
15:44You really came to get me
15:46This small hand crept out
15:48Carefully
15:49Reaching for my fingers
15:50I didn't pull away
15:51He sneaked the glance at me
15:53And pressed his lips
15:54Together happily
15:54Then I asked
15:56Uncertain
15:56Aren't you supposed to go
15:57With your dad?
15:58At the mention of Alessandro
16:00Leo stomped his foot
16:01Like an angry little kangaroo
16:02I don't want to go with him
16:05And he wasn't even here
16:06To get me
16:06He said driving me to school
16:08Every day is too much for you
16:10Said if I keep making you do it
16:12It'll just wear you out
16:13Said I shouldn't bother you
16:16I wasn't fooled
16:18I'm way smarter than him
16:20I already talked to my teacher today
16:22About transferring schools
16:23So you won't have to spend
16:24So much time driving me
16:25Every morning
16:28I couldn't help but laugh
16:30I reached out
16:31And gently patted
16:32His round little head
16:33The walk home was slow
16:35Traffic crawled along the road
16:37We stopped by the supermarket
16:38For groceries on the way
16:40By the time I walked home
16:41Holding his hand
16:42Night had already fallen
16:44Oh right
16:46Tomorrow after school
16:47The driver's picking me up
16:51Dad said I need to go back
16:52To the estate
16:53And pack my clothes
16:55But I'm still coming back
16:57Here to sleep
16:58So don't forget about me
17:03He snapped his head up
17:04To look at me
17:05Tomorrow was Friday
17:06Without meaning to
17:07I tightened my grip
17:09On the grocery bag
17:10Full of steak
17:10And other ingredients
17:12After a brief pause
17:13I smile softly
17:15Kids forget things easily
17:16Maybe after a weekend
17:18At the Moretti estate
17:19They'd cheer him up
17:20And then he'd forget about me
17:22Every time I saw him
17:23I treated it like
17:24It might be the last
17:25It was the only way
17:27I could get through
17:27The long waiting
17:28Without falling apart
17:29Friday
17:30Before leaving that morning
17:32Leo clung to my leg
17:33Until I finally gave him
17:34My phone number
17:35That evening
17:36Darkness crept in slowly
17:38By 10.30
17:39Leo still wasn't back
17:40I quietly folded up
17:42The little pajamas
17:43He'd left by the bed
17:44That morning
17:45Then I put the steak
17:46I'd made for him
17:47In the fridge
17:47I turned off the lights
17:50Sat alone in the dark
17:52For a long time
17:53Then closed my eyes
17:54And fell asleep by myself
17:55Nightmares chased me
17:57All night
17:57I woke up with a
17:58Splitting headache
17:59And found several
18:00Unread messages on my phone
18:01The earliest voicemail
18:03Had come in
18:03Just after midnight
18:04I had my clothes
18:05Packed by 6
18:06Desperately trying to explain
18:08I didn't mean to be late
18:09But dad got sick
18:12He didn't have the energy
18:13To drive me over
18:14He's so useless
18:15Half an hour later
18:17A second message came in
18:19Mom
18:20Are you mad at me?
18:22This time his voice
18:23Was careful
18:24Clearly fighting back tears
18:25Trembling slightly
18:26You don't want me anymore
18:28Do you?
18:29I don't want to be here either
18:32But I can't leave
18:33I don't have the driver's number
18:37The last message
18:38Had come in
18:39Just ten minutes earlier
18:40It was a photo
18:41Of a fever medicine bottle
18:43He was asking
18:44What the instructions said
18:45Then
18:46Another message
18:47Can kids take this?
18:50My heart clenched
18:51I called him back immediately
18:54Leo, are you okay?
18:56A soft sobbing
18:57Came through the speaker
19:00Mom
19:01My phone had switched
19:03To do not disturb
19:04Overnight
19:04I couldn't even imagine
19:06How scared Leo must have been
19:07Waiting for me
19:10Do you have a fever?
19:11Can you tell mom
19:12Where it hurts?
19:14A loud sneeze
19:15Came through the phone
19:16He didn't answer
19:19Mom
19:20Can you come get me?
19:22I already knew the answer
19:24There was no way
19:25I could say no to him
19:26I made my way to an estate
19:28On the edge of the city
19:29Following the directions
19:30Leo gave me
19:31Someone had clearly warned
19:33The guards ahead of time
19:34They barely asked me anything
19:35Before opening the gate
19:37Standing outside the mansion
19:39I reached for the doorbell
19:40Another hand reached for it
19:42At the same time
19:43The polished door
19:44Reflected the woman
19:45Standing behind me
19:46Victoria Romano
19:47My mind went blank
19:49Victoria frowned
19:51Clearly confused
19:52About why I was there
19:53What are you doing here?
19:55I pulled my hand back
19:56Almost on instinct
19:57Meeting her shocked stare
20:00I'm here to pick up Leo
20:02She froze for a second
20:04Then something seemed
20:05To click for her
20:06A knowing smile
20:08Curled at the corner
20:09Of her mouth
20:10You shouldn't have
20:10Given up custody
20:11You know
20:12Alexandro never liked
20:13That kid
20:14He's stubborn
20:15Impossible to deal with
20:16Completely unmanageable
20:18He refuses to call me mom
20:20But
20:21You remember what happens
20:22To people who cross me
20:24Her voice was soft
20:25Almost gentle
20:26But it dragged me
20:28Straight back to that day
20:29Six years ago
20:30Except this time
20:32I didn't flinch
20:33He already has a mom
20:35He doesn't need another one
20:39You already know
20:40I've lost everything
20:40There's nothing left
20:41For you to take from me
20:42Touch one hair on Leo's head
20:44And go ahead
20:44Try me
20:45I'll take you down with me
20:48I clearly never imagined
20:50The broken woman
20:51She'd met six years ago
20:52Would learn to fight back
20:54She pressed her lips together
20:55I ignored her completely
20:57And rang the doorbell
20:58A moment later
20:59Alessandro stood there
21:01His face was pale
21:02Clearly exhausted
21:04You
21:06Get out
21:08Don't worry
21:10I'm just here for Leo
21:11Then I'm gone
21:12Alessandro grabbed my wrist
21:14His grip was hard
21:15Right before it closed
21:16I caught a glimpse
21:17Of Victoria's face
21:19Frozen stiff
21:20Then the heavy front door
21:22Slammed shut behind us
21:23Wait
21:24Had he grabbed the wrong person?
21:26The hand around my wrist
21:28Was burning hot
21:29The heat on my skin
21:30Told me it wasn't
21:32My imagination
21:37I wasn't talking to you
21:39That's when I realized
21:40My mistake
21:41I quietly tried
21:42To pull my hand back
21:43Then pulled out his phone
21:44And called the estate's
21:46Security office
21:48Didn't I tell you
21:49Not to let Victoria in?
21:50I'm sorry boss
21:53Not long after
21:54Alessandro hung up
21:55His phone received
21:56A security clip
21:57He handed it to me
21:59I never invited
22:00Victoria here
22:02She snuck in behind you
22:04Saying I hadn't
22:05Taken the phone yet
22:06He calmly pressed it
22:07Into my hand
22:08Evidence
22:09Keep it
22:10That's when I noticed
22:12The faint smell
22:12Of whiskey on him
22:13Suddenly
22:14I understood
22:15Why he seemed
22:15So different tonight
22:16I might be the only
22:17Person in the world
22:18Who knew how
22:19Unpredictable
22:20Alessandro got
22:21When he drank
22:21I reluctantly watched
22:23The whole security clip
22:24He looked at me
22:25Like he was waiting
22:26For a review
22:28You seem like
22:28You have a fever
22:30Oh
22:31I think I do
22:35Leo dragging a suitcase
22:37Almost as tall
22:38As he was
22:39Mom
22:40Sweetie
22:42The second he saw me
22:44Standing in the entryway
22:47Mom
22:48He ran straight from me
22:49Before he could wrap
22:50His arms around my legs
22:52Don't call her that
22:54She's my wife
22:55You thief
22:56Mom came for me
22:58No she didn't
22:59The two of them
23:00Went back and forth
23:01Like a pair of sparrows
23:03Fighting over the same crumb
23:04Neither one willing to stop
23:06Leo
23:11He slowly pushed the boy back
23:14You can't
23:16The bedroom door shut
23:19Hey
23:19We can't just lock Leo
23:21Out here alone
23:23I tried the door
23:24But the lock was
23:25Way too complicated
23:26That
23:27After several minutes
23:28Of fumbling
23:28With no progress
23:29I gave up
23:31There's fever medicine
23:32In there
23:33Get it out for me
23:35I sighed
23:36And dug through the kit
23:38He just watched me
23:40Dot
23:40Never blinking
23:41I found it
23:45Leo needs medicine too
23:46Can you open the door for me
23:51You're always like this
23:52You only care about him
23:54Never about me
23:55When have I ever
23:56There was no reasoning
23:57With a drunk
23:58Jealous man
23:59Dot
23:59There's no water here
24:00I'm worried you'll choke
24:01Swallowing it dry
24:02Let me go get you a glass
24:03Okay
24:04Alessandro studied me carefully
24:06Like he was trying to figure out
24:07If I was lying
24:08But instead of opening the door
24:10He walked calmly back to the table
24:11And picked up a glass full of whiskey
24:13Dot chin lifted
24:15Radiating calm confidence
24:16No need
24:18I've already got something to drink
24:20Before I could stop him
24:21He tossed the pill into his mouth
24:23And washed it down with whiskey
24:25That had happened so fast
24:26I froze in shock
24:28Dot
24:28Thank god
24:29That wasn't an antibiotic
24:30No dangerous interaction with alcohol
24:32I grabbed the medicine's info sheet
24:34And frantically searched my phone
24:36For every warning I could find
24:38Alessandro
24:39Open the door
24:40I need some water
24:40He held out his half-finished glass of whiskey to me
24:43You already drank from that
24:43And I don't drink
24:45Oh
24:51He'd rather choke down pills with whiskey
24:53Than back down
24:54But now he'd opened the door
24:56Just like that
24:57Because I'd said
24:58I want some water
25:02Come back, okay?
25:04Leo and Alessandro
25:05Were practically identical in this
25:07If anything
25:07Leo had him beat
25:09It took forever to coax Leo
25:10Into taking his medicine
25:12Promising him over and over
25:13I wasn't sneaking off
25:15Then I quietly slipped back
25:16Into Alessandro's bedroom
25:18Only because I didn't want
25:19Tomorrow's headline to read
25:20Global syndicate boss
25:22Dies after washing down pills
25:23With whiskey
25:24Dot
25:24No other reason
25:25None
25:26I pushed open the half-shut door
25:28Dot
25:28Alessandro
25:29Was sleeping soundly in bed
25:30I tugged gently
25:31At the black blanket beneath him
25:33Dot
25:34It didn't budge an inch
25:35I wrapped blanket around him
25:37Until he looked like a cocoon Dot
25:39Just as I turned to leave
25:40The phone on the nightstand rang
25:42Dot
25:42It was the old Don calling
25:44Whatever this was
25:45It wasn't my place to answer
25:46Beneath the amber liquid
25:48The phone screen kept flickering
25:50It buzzed stubbornly
25:51For a few more seconds
25:52Before finally going dark
25:54Only then did Alessandro
25:55Turn to look at me
25:56Hide
25:57I assumed he meant
25:58The old Don was coming
25:59And wanted me out of sight
26:00No, I'll just go now
26:01I won't cause you any trouble
26:03He said nothing
26:05He took my hand
26:06And led me into the walk-in closet
26:08He tried hard to walk in the straight line
26:10He failed
26:11Most of the closet was open shelving
26:13Nowhere to hide
26:14Alessandro frowned
26:15Clearly displeased
26:16Then he dragged me back to the bedroom
26:18And tucked me under the covers
26:20Then Alessandro climbed in beside me
26:22Under the same blanket
26:23He turned off the light
26:25Darkness swallowed the whole room
26:26He let out a soft breath
26:28If we hide
26:29None of it can happen
26:32What do you mean?
26:34Six years ago
26:34There was a call
26:35Just like this one
26:36Said the old Don was dying
26:37But it was a lie
26:38Ordered by the old Don himself
26:40To pull me back
26:41To the family estate
26:44After that
26:45They told me you left
26:48That you divorced me
26:49On your own
26:49For the family money
26:51But I know
26:52I got a call from you
26:53Tell me
26:54Was it really
26:55Your own choice?
26:57I covered my mouth
26:58And shook my head frantically
26:59No
27:00A burning fingertip
27:02Brushed gently
27:03Against my cheek
27:04Don't be scared
27:05They can't find us here
27:07I hate you
27:08After a moment
27:09He whispered softly
27:10I love you
27:11The next day
27:12I prepared to leave
27:13The Moretti estate with Leo
27:15Who was clutching my hand tightly
27:16Your dad is still sleeping
27:18Do you know Sam's phone number?
27:20Leo nodded
27:21And tapped a name
27:22On his child's smart watch
27:23The call connected almost instantly
27:25Uncle Sam?
27:27My dad has another headache
27:29And he's drinking again
27:31Can you come over?
27:32Very well young master
27:33It sounded like this had become routine
27:35Does your dad get headaches often?
27:38Yeah
27:39When he gets a headache
27:40He drinks
27:41Works better than sleeping pills
27:43Alessandra used to never drink
27:45Now alcohol had become his medicine
27:47Right as we were about to step through the gate
27:50Sam called out behind us
27:51Ma'am please wait
27:53Leo's transfer paperwork is done
27:55You won't have to go back and forth anymore
27:58Mr. Moretti isn't usually like this
28:00He's not a heavy drinker
28:01As for today
28:02I think it was just a one-off
28:04I know
28:06Alessandro had first tasted whiskey at 14
28:08Just one small sip
28:10And moments later
28:10He'd face planted on the table
28:12After lying there a while
28:13He'd gotten up calmly
28:14I'd stupidly thought he'd sobered up
28:16But then
28:17Face completely blank
28:18He'd dumped an entire can of dog food
28:20Into the dog bowl
28:21He had tossed the key to the punishment room
28:23Straight into the estate's lake
28:25Drunk as he was
28:26He'd still drag me under an old laurel tree
28:30Insisting he needed to braid a ring out of laurel leaves
28:32He'd slip the crooked little ring onto my finger
28:37Don't lose it
28:38The next morning
28:38Once he remembered everything he'd done while drunk
28:41He accepted the shameful truth
28:43That he couldn't control his drinking
28:44All he never touched alcohol again after that
28:47Thinking back on it
28:48I couldn't help but laugh
28:49Then I looked up
28:50At some point
28:51Alessandro had woken up
28:52He was standing at the top of the stairs
28:54Looking down at us
28:55Leo froze instantly
28:56Like he was facing a powerful enemy
28:59He grabbed my hand and hurried toward the door
29:01Mom!
29:01Come on!
29:02Let's go!
29:03Alessandro didn't follow
29:04But I saw him wave his hand lightly
29:06I took Leo to his new kindergarten
29:08For nearly a week after that
29:09Alessandro didn't show up again
29:11Then one afternoon
29:12My boss suddenly called me into her office
29:14Isabella, is there some connection with your family I don't know about?
29:17I furrow my brows slightly
29:18What?
29:19The brand launched six years ago
29:21And shot straight to the top of the luxury industry
29:23The founder's incredibly private
29:24Doesn't even have a photo out there
29:26This is the first time he's agreed to an exclusive interview
29:29And he specifically asked for you
29:31I blinked
29:32You cannot pass up an opportunity like this
29:34I carefully prepared an interview outline
29:36The day of the interview finally arrived
29:38I took a deep breath
29:40And got ready to knock on the door
29:41Come in
29:42The voice sounded strangely familiar
29:44Without thinking much of it
29:46I pushed the door open
29:47And froze the instant I saw who was inside
29:49Hello, Isabella
29:52Alessandro slowly got up
29:53And came over to me
29:54Bending down to look at me
29:56Good to see you again
29:59Good to see you again
