00:00En el tercer año de mi coma, Adrián Whitmore personalizó el consentimiento de mi tratamiento a la doctora, y el
00:05hombre que signó es mi padre.
00:06Evelyn ha estado aquí por tres años. Haciendo ella en tratamiento es solo un gasto de dinero.
00:10Mi padre heldó el pen y signó sin hesitation.
00:13No, no puedo hacer esto.
00:15Pero mi cuerpo pasó a ellos en desesperación, pero mi cuerpo pasó directamente a ellos como el aire.
00:23Tres años atrás, me salvó mi padre de un carcadero y terminó en un coma myself.
00:27Desde entonces, mi alma ha sido trapped aquí, viendo todo lo que sucedió.
00:30I watched Adrián pin my sister Vanessa against the side of my hospital bed and sleep with her.
00:41Adrián, Evelyn is still watching us.
00:44Adrián glanced at my motionless body with contempt.
00:46She's a useless vegetable who'll never wake up.
00:48If she didn't own 40% of Sinclair Group, I never would have put up with her this long.
00:53Vanessa wrapped her arms around him and laughed.
00:55Once she's dead, the shares and the man will both be mine.
00:59I clawed at them like I'd lost my mind, but my hands passed through their bodies again and again.
01:08Bastards!
01:09Both of you!
01:10I watched my father forge an authorization document.
01:13He transferred the shares my mother had left me to Vanessa, because Vanessa was his illegitimate daughter.
01:18For years, he had lied that she was the orphan daughter of a distant relative.
01:21When they disconnected my ventilator, my father didn't even look back.
01:25Vanessa stood outside the room with her arm linked through Adrián's.
01:29One hand rested on her swollen belly.
01:31Both of them looked pleased.
01:33Adrián, we can finally have our wedding.
01:35The waves on the heart monitor grew weaker.
01:37Hatred swallowed me whole.
01:39If I ever get another chance, I swear, none of you will get away with this!
01:46Everything disappeared into suffocating darkness.
01:48Then a sharp screech of brakes tore through the silence.
01:51I opened my eyes.
01:54The freezing hospital room was gone.
01:57I was back on the rain-soaked mountain road from three years ago.
02:01My father's black Bentley was sliding out of control.
02:04The driver fought the steering wheel.
02:05The brakes are gone!
02:07A truck was speeding toward us from up ahead.
02:10My father reached for me and panned.
02:11Evelyn, save me!
02:13It was exactly the same as my last life, but this time, I didn't throw myself toward him.
02:17I understood what was happening.
02:19I unfastled my seatbelt and pushed open the door.
02:21Before the Bentley hit the guardrail, I jumped.
02:23I rolled into the wet grass beside the road.
02:25No!
02:26The crash exploded behind me.
02:28The Bentley flipped down the slope.
02:30My father's scream came from below.
02:32Covered in mud and rain, I raised my head.
02:34Smoke was already rising from the wrecked car.
02:36And for the first time, I laughed.
02:38A black armored sedan stopped in front of me.
02:40The door opened.
02:41Polished black shoes stepped into the rain.
02:43A man holding a black umbrella looked down at me.
02:47He had gray eyes and a silver thorn emblem pinned to his chest.
02:50I recognized that emblem.
02:51It belonged to Sicily's Lorenzo family.
02:53And I recognized the man wearing it.
02:54Damien Lorenzo, the youngest Don in Europe's underworld.
02:57He held out a black-loved hand.
02:59Miss Sinclair, do you need me to save you?
03:02Then a voice I had never heard before appeared inside my head.
03:04She finally didn't save that old bastard.
03:07Looks like she came back too.
03:08The smile disappeared from my face.
03:13I stared at Damien and left his hand hanging there.
03:16Do we know each other?
03:17Damien withdrew his hand and gave me the umbrella instead.
03:19No, but I knew your mother.
03:21That answer caught me off guard.
03:23Before she died, my mother had managed Sinclair Group's overseas business.
03:26How could she have known a man this dangerous?
03:29My father's screams came from the slope again.
03:32An ambulance is already on the way.
03:34He turned to leave.
03:36Then I heard his voice inside my head again.
03:38I can't tell her the truth yet.
03:41I hurried after him.
03:42Do you know who arranged this crash?
03:44Damien stopped.
03:45He reached into the car and handed me a sealed evidence bag.
03:48Inside was a section of brake line that had been deliberately cut.
03:51A smart woman shouldn't ask a question.
03:53She already knows the answer to.
03:55I gripped the evidence bag.
03:57Of course I knew.
03:58My father had staged the entire crash himself.
04:00In my last life, I didn't learn the truth until just before I died.
04:03His plan was to jump out before the car lost control.
04:05Then he would make it look like an attack by a business rival.
04:07He wanted the insurance payout.
04:08And he planned to frame one of Sinclair Group's board members.
04:10But something went wrong.
04:12He didn't get out in time.
04:13I saved him.
04:13And I became the only person destroyed by his scheme.
04:17Not this time.
04:19This time, he could live with the consequences himself.
04:22Outside the operating room, Adrian and Vanessa rushed toward me.
04:26Adrian pulled me into his arms.
04:31Evelyn, are you hurt?
04:33Then I heard his thoughts.
04:35She doesn't have a scratch on her?
04:36Richard said she'd definitely be inside the car.
04:40Disgust hit me instantly.
04:42I pushed him away.
04:44Vanessa grabbed my hand.
04:47Evelyn, thank God you're okay.
04:49What about Dad?
04:50Her thoughts answered the question she would never say out loud.
04:53If that old man dies, when will Mom and I finally be able to join the Sinclair family openly?
04:59I looked at her fake concern.
05:01Then I smiled.
05:04The surgery lasted six hours.
05:06My father survived.
05:08But he lost his left leg.
05:10The first thing he did after waking up was blame me.
05:13You were sitting right next to me.
05:15Why didn't you save me?
05:17I looked at him like I didn't understand the accusation.
05:19I'm your father!
05:20How could you leave me there and save yourself?
05:23Saving yourself is instinct.
05:25Or did you expect me to die with you?
05:28Adrian frowned.
05:30Evelyn, your father just survived major surgery.
05:33Stop upsetting him.
05:34I dropped the sealed evidence bag onto the bed.
05:36This should upset him a lot more.
05:38Richard saw the severed brake line inside.
05:40His expression changed.
05:42Then his thoughts reached me.
05:44How did she get that?
05:47The driver said he'd clean everything up.
05:49I looked straight at him.
05:50The police have already opened an investigation.
05:53Dad, what do you think they'll find him?
05:55It was an accident.
05:56Someone must have been trying to kill me.
06:00Really?
06:03I played an audio recording on my phone.
06:05A middle-aged man's voice filled the room.
06:06Richard Sinclair told me to sabotage the brakes.
06:09He promised me two million dollars when it was done.
06:14Richard stared at me.
06:17Evelyn, let me explain.
06:19Save it for the police.
06:21Adrian grabbed my arm.
06:22Are you insane?
06:24He's your biological father.
06:25I pulled my arm free.
06:26So that means he could decide whether I live or die?
06:30Adrian had no answer.
06:33Vanessa moved toward the bed, trying to calm Richard down.
06:38Richard shoved her away.
06:39Get out!
06:40Vanessa hit the wall.
06:41Her handbag dropped to the floor.
06:43A pre-notal report slid out.
06:47Vanessa immediately reached for it, but I had already read it.
06:52Eight weeks pregnant.
06:54And under the father's name, Adrian Whitford.
06:59I picked up the report and looked at Vanessa.
07:03Vanessa.
07:05You're pregnant with my fiancé's child?
07:08Vanessa snatched the report from my hand.
07:10She looked straight at Adrian.
07:12This report is fake!
07:13Then I heard what she was really thinking.
07:15As long as Adrian denies it, she has no proof.
07:18Adrian understood immediately.
07:20She's right.
07:20One of Vanessa's friends made it as a joke.
07:22In my last life, Vanessa used to stand beside my hospital bed with her pregnant belly.
07:26She told me Adrian had never loved me.
07:28Now they still thought I would believe them like I used to.
07:31I took off my engagement ring.
07:33Then I placed it in Adrian's hand.
07:35If the pregnancy is a joke, then let's call our engagement a joke too.
07:40What do you mean?
07:42I'm ending the engagement.
07:44Adrian's face hardened.
07:45The Wiltmore and Sinclair families had several major business deals together.
07:48He had never become engaged to me just for love.
07:51He wanted the shares my mother left me.
07:53And he wanted control of Sinclair Group.
07:54You're angry right now.
07:55I'm not going to argue with you.
07:57He tried to put the ring back on my finger.
07:59I stepped away.
08:00I didn't hide my disgust.
08:02Adrian, you disgust me.
08:04Then his thoughts came through.
08:06Once I control Sinclair Group, she'll beg me to marry her.
08:10You don't get to end this engagement by yourself.
08:12The Sinclair Anniversary Gala is in three days.
08:16Whatever you want to say, say it after the gala.
08:19Because that that gala was exactly where I planned to bury them.
08:23After leaving the hospital, I went to see Damien.
08:26Damien was sitting in front of the fireplace.
08:29Sinclair Group's financial records from the past five years were spread across the table.
08:33You've been investigating me?
08:36I only investigate my future partners.
08:40And what exactly could we possibly work together on?
08:43Damien reached out and lifted my chin.
08:45He looked at me and gave me only two words.
08:48Marry me.
08:52The firelight reflected in Damien's gray eyes.
08:55I still couldn't tell what he was thinking.
08:57Why would the dawn of a Sicilian crime famine need marriage to get what he wants?
09:01Sinclair Group's assets are nothing compared to what you control.
09:05Damien's thumb moved across the side of my face.
09:07I want your connections in the European market.
09:09He paused.
09:09And I want you.
09:10Last time, I watched you die in that hospital bed.
09:12This time, I won't let anyone hurt you again.
09:15I stared at him.
09:15So Damien had been watching me in my last life too.
09:17I forced myself to stay calm.
09:19God had given me another life.
09:20Now I could hear people's thoughts.
09:21And the most powerful ally I could ask for was standing right in front of me.
09:24What did I have left to fear?
09:26Fine.
09:26I'll marry you.
09:27But I have two conditions.
09:29First, Sinclair Group is mine to clean up.
09:32You stay out of it.
09:33Second, I keep my freedom.
09:35Damien let go of my face.
09:36He opened a drawer and took out a document.
09:39Sign it.
09:40After that, you can use the Lorenzo's family's power whenever you need it.
09:43I looked down at the document.
09:44It was a prenuptial agreement.
09:45There were almost no restrictions on me and Damien transferred half of his personal assets
09:49into my name.
09:49It was practically half of his empire.
09:51I picked up the pen.
09:52Then I signed my name without hesitation.
09:54Damien took the agreement back.
09:55Tomorrow.
09:56Nine in the morning.
09:58Bring your ID.
10:00Where are we going?
10:02Damien looked at me.
10:04To get married.
10:07The next morning, Damien and I registered our marriage exactly as planned.
10:11I looked at the man who was now legally my husband.
10:13It still didn't feel real.
10:15In my last life, I spent years trying to protect my relationship with Adrian, and it ended with
10:20me losing everything.
10:21Now I'd married a dangerous mafia dod after knowing him for barely any time.
10:25Strangely, I felt safer than I ever had before.
10:27Outside the courthouse, Damien opened the car door for me.
10:30Then he placed a silver Beretta pistol in my hand.
10:34Wedding gift.
10:36I looked down at the gun.
10:38If anyone touches you, shoot them.
10:41The Lorenzo family will handle the rest.
10:44The metal felt cold against my palm.
10:47But my blood was burning.
10:50Thanks, husband.
10:52I leaned close to his ear on purpose.
10:55Damien stopped moving for a second.
10:57His ears turned red.
10:59Even his breathing changed.
11:00She called me husband.
11:01Dammit.
11:02I want her right now.
11:04I pretended hadn't hurt anything.
11:06I smiled and got into the car.
11:08For the next two days, I made no move.
11:12Adrian and Vanessa thought I'd finally given in.
11:14They even started showing off their relationship on social media.
11:17Every post hinted that something good was coming.
11:19Meanwhile, Richard kept demanding to see me from the hospital.
11:22I never went.
11:23I sent my attorney instead.
11:25The message was simple.
11:26If he didn't want the evidence of the staged crash handed directly to the police,
11:30he needed to keep his mouth shut.
11:32Three days later, the Sinclair Group Anniversary Gala finally arrived.
11:36It was being held at one of Manhattan's most exclusive luxury hotels.
11:39The city's business elite filled the ballroom.
11:42Champagne glasses passed from hand to hand beneath the chandeliers.
11:45I stood at the top of the staircase in a red couture gown.
11:49I looked down at the smiling faces below.
11:52The show was finally about to begin.
11:58The ballroom doors opened.
12:01Richard entered in a wheelchair.
12:03Vanessa was behind him.
12:04Adrian walked beside her in a white suit.
12:07Anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were the stars of tonight's gala.
12:10Richard had lost a leg, but he still carried himself like the chairman of Sinclair Group.
12:15He greeted the guests as if nothing had happened.
12:17Mr. Sinclair, you still came spite your condition.
12:20That's dedication.
12:21It's Sinclair Group's anniversary.
12:24I'd crawl here if I had to.
12:26Dad has given everything to this company.
12:28Vanessa wiped at the corner of her eye.
12:30She stopped for a moment.
12:31Then she shook her head.
12:32But Evelyn, forget it.
12:34As long as she's happy, I don't mind being wronged.
12:38That one sentence was enough.
12:40People around them immediately started sympathizing with her and judging me.
12:46Then Richard's thoughts came through clearly.
12:48I'll announce tonight that I'm taking full control of Sinclair Group.
12:53Then I'll force Evelyn to hand over her shares.
12:56Once the public turns against her, she'll fold like she always does.
13:01I laughed.
13:03Then I lifted my dress and walked down the staircase.
13:08Dad, you're really devoted.
13:09Every eye was on me.
13:10You lost a leg, and you're still worried about my shares.
13:14The ballroom went quiet.
13:15Every eye was on me.
13:17Evelyn, your father is still recovering.
13:18Don't make him angry.
13:19Adrian stepped forward.
13:21Then he turned toward the guests.
13:23He cleared his throat.
13:24Since everyone is here tonight, I'd like to announce something.
13:28I walked straight to the control podium.
13:29Then I took the microphone from him.
13:32Perfect.
13:33I have something to announce, too.
13:35I looked across the ballroom.
13:37Then I looked at Adrian.
13:39I'm ending my engagement to Adrian Whitmore.
13:45Ending the engagement in public was a direct slap in the face to the Whitmore family.
13:49Evelyn, have you lost your mind?
13:50I moved aside before he could grab it.
13:52You did it, but you're too scared to admit it?
13:56You and Vanessa already have a baby on the way.
13:59And you still want to stand here pretending you're devoted to me?
14:03Every head turned toward Vanessa.
14:05Vanessa covered her stomach and started crying.
14:08Evelyn, you can't accuse me of something like that without proof.
14:10I would never betray you.
14:12Richard pointed at me from his wheelchair.
14:14You ungrateful daughter!
14:16Get down from there!
14:17Stop humiliating this family!
14:19Then I heard his thoughts.
14:21Damn, girl.
14:22I should have made sure she died in that crash.
14:25Humiliating the family, I snapped my fingers.
14:28The giant screen behind me lit up.
14:30Then came security footage of Adrian accompanying her to an atrotetrics clinic.
14:34This time, it showed the two of them kissing in a hotel hallway.
14:37There was nowhere left for them to hide.
14:39Adrian panicked.
14:41He had planned to use public pressure to force me to surrender my power.
14:44Instead, I had exposed everything in front of the entire room.
14:47Evan, let me explain.
14:48That was just...
14:49It didn't mean anything!
14:50Shut up, you piece of trash!
14:51I pressed image on the screen changed.
14:54Now everyone could see the severed brake line.
14:56Beside it was the official police investigation notice.
14:58Then the recording began to play.
15:00Richard Singler told me to sabotage the brakes.
15:02He promised me two million dollars after it was done.
15:04No one said a word.
15:05Richard fell out of his wheelchair.
15:07His body started convulsing.
15:10I looked down at my father, sprawled on the floor.
15:13You staged a car crash to commit insurance fraud.
15:15And you were willing to let your own daughter die with you.
15:18Richard Singler, you call yourself a father?
15:21Sweat covered Richard's face.
15:22But he kept denying everything.
15:25That recording was fabricated!
15:27I'm still chairman of Sinclair Group!
15:29You can wave around whatever documents you want!
15:32You'll never take my company away from me!
15:34Really?
15:36I reached into my bag.
15:38Then I threw it directly at him.
15:41Read it carefully.
15:43It was the will my mother had left behind.
15:46It says that if you cheated during the marriage, or did anything that damaged Sinclair Group,
15:50every share in your name automatically transfers to me.
15:54Richard picked up the document with shaking hands.
15:56He stared at my mother's familiar signature.
15:59Vanessa realized the situation was turning against them.
16:02She dropped to her knees in front of me.
16:04Then she wrapped both arms around my leg.
16:07Evelyn, this is all my fault!
16:08I couldn't control myself.
16:10I fell in love with Adrian.
16:12But the baby is innocent!
16:14Then her tone changed.
16:16How can you destroy all of us while working with criminals?
16:19She pointed at me and turned towards the guest.
16:21Don't let her fool you!
16:22She betrayed Adrian a long time ago just to seize control of Sinclair Group!
16:27She's been keeping some nobody thug on the side!
16:29Everything showing you was forged by him!
16:32Whispers spread through the ballroom.
16:33People started looking at me balfrently.
16:35A billionaire heiress involved with some unknown criminal?
16:38That kind of scandal could send Sinclair Group's stock straight down.
16:42Then the ballroom doors were kicked open from the outside.
16:45A man's voice came from the entrance.
16:49Who said I'm some nobody thug?
16:54Damien's voice cut through the entire ballroom.
16:56The silver thorn emblem of the Lareza family was pinned to his chest.
16:59Two rows of armed bodyguards followed behind him.
17:01They cleared a path through the ballroom.
17:02No one dared stand in their way.
17:04That's the Lorenzo family crest.
17:06He's Damien Lorenzo.
17:08The don't...
17:08The whispers stopped.
17:09Damien didn't look at anyone else.
17:11He walked straight towards me.
17:12Then he took my hand.
17:14He lowered his head and kissed the back of his.
17:16Sorry I'm late, my wife.
17:17Wife?
17:18Then I heard his thoughts.
17:21How is this possible?
17:24When did Evelyn get involved with Damien Lorenzo?
17:27No.
17:28I don't believe it.
17:29Damien finally turned toward him.
17:31So you're the ex-fiancee who disgust is my wife?
17:33He lifted one hand.
17:35One of his men stepped forward with a thick stack of documents.
17:38He handed them to Adrian.
17:39Every Wiltmore Ownings project overseas has been blacklisted by the Lorenzo family.
17:43Adrian opened the first document.
17:45Damien continued.
17:47And that's not all.
17:48Every bank credit line, your family depends, Vaughan, will be frozen tonight.
17:54Adrian looked down at the documents again.
17:56His face lost all color.
18:00Tore through the documents in his hands.
18:02Each one carried an official notice ending another major partnership.
18:05The company was already struggling with cash flow.
18:07Damien had just cut off its last lifeline.
18:09Then he crawled towards Damien.
18:11I was wrong.
18:12Vanessa seduced me.
18:13Please forgive me just this once.
18:15For everything we used to have, ask Mr. Lorenzo to let my family go.
18:19He reached for my leg.
18:20I pulled away, then I kicked him aside.
18:23Look at you.
18:24You look like a dog begging for scraps.
18:27Vanessa heard him blame everything on her.
18:29She threw herself at him.
18:31You bastard!
18:32You were the one who came to my bed first!
18:35You told me you never loved Evelyn!
18:40You said you were sick of her!
18:42Then Vanessa turned toward Richard.
18:45She crawled to his wheelchair.
18:46Dad, Dad, help me!
18:47You can't just abandon me!
18:52I looked at her.
18:55I almost forgot about you.
18:56I pressed the remote again.
18:58A new report appeared on the giant screen.
19:00It was a DNA test.
19:02Richard, years ago you told my mother Vanessa was an orphan from a distant branch of the family.
19:06You said you were only taking her in.
19:07That's why my mother allowed her into our home.
19:09He was already covered in sweat.
19:11I walked toward Richard.
19:13I stopped in front of him.
19:15But this DNA report proves something else.
19:19She isn't some orphan you took in.
19:21I looked directly at her.
19:24She's your illegitimate daughter.
19:27The entire ballroom exploded into chaos.
19:30Camera flashes went off everywhere.
19:32Richard Sinclair kept his illegitimate daughter right under his wife's nose?
19:35And pretended she was an orphan?
19:37That's disgusting.
19:38Vanessa stared at the DNA report on the screen.
19:41She kept shaking her head.
19:43It's fake!
19:45You've forged all of this!
19:47I'm not an illegitimate daughter!
19:50Only dad and I knew about this.
19:53How did this bitch get the DNA report?
19:55I walked over to her.
19:57I grabbed her chin and forced her to look at me.
20:00Vanessa, you've been living off my mother's money.
20:04You've enjoyed everything that came with being a Sinclair daughter.
20:08And you still tried to steal everything that belonged to me.
20:12Now it's time to give back everything you stole.
20:15I turned toward Richard.
20:16There's one final clause in my mother's will.
20:19If Richard Sinclair is proven to have an illegitimate child, he forfeits every remaining asset and inheritance right.
20:26Richard suddenly coughed up blood.
20:28He looked years older in seconds.
20:32Evelyn, you planned all of this.
20:34You're a monster.
20:36I looked at him without sympathy.
20:38Still better than a father who tried to murder his own daughter for money.
20:42Then the ballroom doors opened again.
20:44A group of police officers and financial crime investigators walked inside.
20:48The lead detective showed his badge.
20:51Richard Sinclair.
20:52Adrian Whitmore.
20:54You're under investigation for attempted murder, document forgery, major financial fraud, and embezzlement.
21:01You'll need to come with us.
21:05I didn't embezzle anything!
21:07Richard made me do it!
21:08He told me to handle those accounts!
21:11The detective didn't react.
21:13Save it for the station.
21:15The officers dragged Adrian away.
21:18Then several officers walked toward Richard.
21:20Mr. Sinclair, do you need us to carry you?
21:23Richard stared at me.
21:24Evelyn, you ungrateful monster!
21:26I curse you!
21:27You'll die a horrible death!
21:29Damien's expression changed.
21:31He pulled the Beretta from his waist.
21:33Then he pressed the barrel against Richard's forehead.
21:35Say one more word and you die right here.
21:38Richard stopped talking.
21:39He stared at the gun against his head.
21:42Then a dark stain spread across his pants.
21:43The smell spread through the ballroom.
21:45The officers immediately stepped in.
21:47They pulled Richard away from Damien and took him out.
21:49Vanessa turned and tried to run.
21:50Two Lorenzo bodyguards caught her before she reached the door.
21:53I looked at her.
21:54And you?
21:55Vanessa stopped struggling for a second.
21:57Starting today, every Sinclair account and card in your name is frozen.
22:00She looked at me in panic.
22:02You love Adrian so much, don't you?
22:04Then take that baby and wait for him to get out of prison.
22:07She covered her face and started crying.
22:10No one stepped forward to help her.
22:11The ballroom fell silent.
22:13Everyone was looking at me now.
22:16The first step of my revenge was finally over.
22:18Damien walked over and put an arm around my waist.
22:21Then he led me out of the ballroom.
22:24By the time we returned to the Lorenzo estate, it was already late.
22:27I kicked off my heels and dropped onto the sofa.
22:30The rush of revenge had faded.
22:31What remained was an emptiness I couldn't ignore.
22:33And the pain left over from my last life was still there.
22:35Damien sat down beside me.
22:37Tired?
22:38His fingers moved through my hair and pressed against my scalp.
22:41I closed my eyes.
22:42All that's left is taking over Sinclair Group.
22:44With you behind me, those old board members won't dare cause trouble.
22:47I opened my eyes and looked at him.
22:49Damien, why are you helping me?
22:50Don't tell me it's just business.
22:51I know that's not the truth.
22:53His hands stopped.
22:54Then I heard his thoughts.
22:56Because last time I watched you die in that hospital bed.
22:59I killed Adrian and Vanessa.
23:01Then I wiped out the Whitmore family.
23:02And after that, I put a gun to my head at your grave.
23:05Evelance, I can't lose you again.
23:07I couldn't breathe for a second.
23:08In our last life, he had avenged me.
23:10And then he died for me.
23:12Tears ran down my face.
23:13I sat up.
23:14Then I grabbed his tie and pulled him towards me.
23:17Before he could react, I kissed him.
23:19Damien froze for a second.
23:20Then he pulled me closer and kissed me back.
23:22His kiss was hungry and possessive.
23:24Evelyn.
23:25Like a man who had already lost me once, his breathing was heavy.
23:27I looked straight at him.
23:29Damien, I don't care what secret you're hiding.
23:31In this life, I'm staying with you.
23:35Morning sunlight poured through the windows of the Lorenzo estate.
23:38I woke up in Damien's arms.
23:40Then hurried footsteps came from outside the bedroom.
23:43Boss, we have a problem.
23:44It was Marco Bellini, Damien's most trusted man.
23:48Damien looked at me.
23:49We got dressed and went straight to the study.
23:51The moment we walked in, Marco spoke.
23:53Your uncle started a rebellion at the Rome branch.
23:56He says you used the family's core resources for a woman.
23:58He claims you broke the rules of the Lorenzo family.
24:01He's already brought several senior members to his side.
24:03They're demanding a family tribunal.
24:06They want to remove you as Don.
24:08My chest tightened.
24:10Damien had used a huge amount of family power to destroy Whitmore Holdings for me
24:14that had touched the interests of people inside the family.
24:17Damien gave a short laugh.
24:20The old man finally made his move.
24:23He looked at Marco.
24:24Prepare the private jet.
24:26We're going to Rome.
24:27Then he turned to me.
24:28Evelyn, you stay here.
24:32You'll be safe at the estate.
24:33I took his hand.
24:35No.
24:36I'm going with you.
24:39Damien looked at me.
24:41I'm the lady of the Lorenzo family now.
24:43I'm not some bird you keep locked safely behind you.
24:47They're using me as an excuse to attack you.
24:50Then I need to be there myself.
24:52And make them regret it.
24:55Damien kept looking at me.
24:58Then he nodded.
25:00Fine.
25:02Bring the gun I gave you.
25:05Four hours later, we landed at the Lorenzo family's private base in Rome.
25:08I pushed open the conference room doors.
25:10More than a dozen Italian mafia elders in dark suits turned towards me at once.
25:14Not one of them bothered to hide what they thought of me.
25:17Contempt, suspicion, and the clear intention to get rid of me.
25:22At the far end of the long table sat an older man with gray hair.
25:25His name was Antonio Lorenzo, Damien's uncle.
25:28Damien, you actually brought this woman here?
25:30He slammed one hand on the table.
25:32You even let her into a family meeting?
25:34You're humiliating the Lorenzo name!
25:36Damien pulled out the chair at the head of the table.
25:38Then he let me sit down.
25:39He stayed standing behind me.
25:41My wife is half the master of this family.
25:43Why shouldn't she be here?
25:46And what makes her worthy of that?
25:48I looked at him.
25:49Then his thoughts entered my head.
25:50Once I force Damien out today, I'll take control of that Russian weapons shipment tomorrow.
25:54Then all of Europe will be mine.
25:55Mr. Lorenzo, you've been dealing weapons with a Russian crime syndicate behind the family's back.
26:00The room went quiet.
26:01And you're planning the handoff next Wednesday at the port of Torino.
26:05Is that your idea of loyalty?
26:07What the hell are you talking about?
26:09Several elders turned toward him.
26:10We can find out pretty easily.
26:12Let's start with the secret Swiss bank account.
26:16Last four dits.
26:17Seven three nine two.
26:22You bitch!
26:23You think you can bluff me?
26:25Bang.
26:26But Antonio was the one who fell.
26:28A bullet had gone straight through his forehead.
26:30Smoke rose from the silver Beretta in my hand.
26:32I looked at his body.
26:33I told you.
26:35Anyone who points a gun at me gets shot first.
26:39The conference room went completely silent.
26:42The smell of blood spread through the room.
26:44Everyone stared at me.
26:45None of them had expected a woman like me to shoot a mafia elder in the middle of a family
26:50meeting.
26:52Damien stepped up behind me.
26:54He wrapped both arms around my shoulders.
26:58Anyone else have a problem?
27:00With my wife's position?
27:02No one answered.
27:03The elders looked at Antonio's body on the floor.
27:06Then one after another, they lowered their heads.
27:08They placed their right hands over their chests.
27:10Then they gave me the formal salute of the Lorenzo family.
27:13Respect to the lady of the family.
27:15One bullet ended the rebellion.
27:16Damien moved immediately after that.
27:18He removed every member of Antonio's faction.
27:20The Rome branch was completely under his control again.
27:23Once everything was settled, we returned to New York.
27:25Sinclair Group was changing too.
27:26I removed every old board member who had stood with Richard.
27:28I already had enough dirt on each of them to make sure they couldn't fight back.
27:31A few days later, I was reviewing documents in my office.
27:35My secretary came in.
27:37Mrs. Sinclair, someone is asking to see you.
27:41It was Vanessa.
27:43The beauty she used to be so proud of was gone.
27:46Her hair was messy.
27:48Her clothes were worn and dirty.
27:50She smelled like she hadn't had a proper shower in days.
27:53The moment she saw me, she dropped to her knees.
27:56She started slamming her fort against the floor.
27:59Soon, blood appeared on her forehead.
28:02Evelyn, please, give me a way out.
28:05I lost the baby.
28:06The Whitmore family is hunting me everywhere.
28:09They want to force me into prostitution to pay off their debts.
28:13I have nowhere else to go.
28:15She cried at my feet.
28:17There was nothing left of the arrogant woman she used to be.
28:20I walked over to her.
28:25Then I looked down at her, like she was nothing more than an insect beneath my feet.
28:32A way out?
28:33I looked down at Vanessa, when you betrayed me and wanted me dead.
28:37Did you ever give me one?
28:39You, I...
28:40There's something else I know.
28:42The baby you lost wasn't Adrian's.
28:45Vanessa stared at me in panic.
28:47Adrian spent years sleeping around.
28:49He lost the ability to have children a long time ago.
28:51You wanted to marry into the Whitmore family so badly that you found a male model and got
28:55pregnant by him.
28:57Vanessa shook her head.
28:58Too bad you didn't know he was a drug addict.
29:00Even if you'd carried the baby to term, it would have had serious problems.
29:04No!
29:05That's impossible!
29:09Take her out.
29:10Two guards dragged Vanessa away.
29:11I watched her disappear through the door.
29:13I felt no sympathy.
29:14She had earned every consequence herself.
29:16That weekend, Damien took me to a maximum security prison outside the sitting room.
29:19A guard brought Adrian.
29:21He had lost so much weight, I barely recognized him.
29:23Bruises covered his face.
29:24He walked with a limp.
29:25Damien's men had made sure prison wasn't easy for him.
29:28Every day had become another kind of hell.
29:30The moment Adrian saw me, he rushed towards the glass.
29:33Evelyn!
29:34Save me!
29:35They're gonna beat me to death!
29:37Please get me out of here!
29:38I'll never do it again!
29:40I picked up the phone.
29:41Enjoy your time in there.
29:43This is the only home you'll have for the rest of your life.
29:47Adrian slid down against the glass.
29:49He started sobbing.
29:51I put down the phone and left the visiting room.
29:54Damien took my hand.
29:57Want to see your father?
29:59I nodded.
30:03Of course.
30:06My father was being held in the prison medical wing.
30:08His condition had gotten even worse.
30:10Without proper treatment, his right leg developed a severe infection.
30:14Doctors eventually had to amputate it too.
30:16Now Richard Selton had no legs left.
30:18He could do nothing but lie in a hospital bed.
30:20The room smelled of disinfectant and human waste.
30:23When I walked in, Richard stared at me with pure hatred.
30:26You little monster.
30:28You came here to laugh at me?
30:30His voice was rough and weak.
30:31I pulled over a chair and sat beside the bed.
30:36Actually, I came to tell you some good news.
30:39Cineclair Group's stock hit an all-time high yesterday.
30:42Without you, the company is doing better than ever.
30:44Richard's chest rose and fell.
30:47You vicious bitch!
30:48You'll die a horrible death!
30:51Even as a ghost!
30:52I won't let you go!
30:53A ghost?
30:55I leaned closer to him.
30:57Do you really think this is my first life?
30:59Richard stopped moving.
31:01Richard, I've already died once.
31:04I spent three years trapped beside that hospital bed.
31:07I watched all of you enjoy everything you stole from me.
31:12Now, I'm giving every bit of it back.
31:14Richard stared at me like he was seeing something terrifying.
31:18A broken sound came from his throat.
31:20Then he opened his mouth and bit down on his own tongue.
31:24Blood ran from his mouth, but he was too weak even to kill himself.
31:28He could only struggle on the bed and make muffled sounds.
31:30I stood up.
31:32Then I looked at the doctor.
31:34Keep him alive.
31:35Don't let him die that easily.
31:37I turned and walked out of the room.
31:40Richard.
31:41Adrian.
31:42Vanessa.
31:43The three people who betrayed me in my last life were all living with the consequences now.
31:49I walked out of the prison.
31:51Then I stepped into the sunlight outside.
31:55Something felt wrong.
31:57Damien noticed it immediately.
31:59He pulled me into his arms.
32:00What's wrong?
32:01I have a bad feeling.
32:03Before I could finish, something tore through the air.
32:06Get down!
32:06Damien threw me to the ground.
32:08A bullet passed his shoulder and slammed into the pavement.
32:11Chunks of concrete flew into the air.
32:13The Lorenzo guards drew their weapons and surrounded us.
32:16Armor-piercing round!
32:18Professional shooter!
32:20Marco raised his gun and returned fire.
32:22Gunfire erupted outside the prison.
32:25The attackers had heavy firepower.
32:27They had clearly prepared for this.
32:29And their target was Damien.
32:31Get to the car!
32:32Damien covered me as we ran toward the armored sedan.
32:36I was about to step inside.
32:38Then a red laser dot appeared on my chest.
32:41And Damien's thoughts exploded inside my head.
32:44No!
32:45He shoved me into the car and exposed himself instead.
32:49Damien's body jerked.
32:50Blood burst across his white shirt.
32:53Damien!
32:55I scrambled toward him and caught him as he fell.
33:02Drive! Get us out of here!
33:04The armored car tore through the gunfire.
33:07Inside, Damien's breathing grew weaker.
33:10His blood-covered hand grabbed my clothes.
33:12Evelyn, don't cry.
33:17This time, I finally protected you.
33:21He tried to smile.
33:22Then his hand fell.
33:25No!
33:27I held his body against mine.
33:30Damien, you're not allowed to die!
33:32My tears wouldn't stop.
33:37The light above the operating room stayed on for ten hours.
33:39Every second felt like torture.
33:41I sat on the bench outside with Damien's blood still covering my clothes.
33:44I couldn't take my eyes off that door.
33:46In my last life, I died alone in the dark.
33:48Was I really going to watch the only man who loved me die in this life?
33:51Marco walked over.
33:52Madam, we found them.
33:54I looked up.
33:55It was the Moretti family.
33:58They'd been working with Antonio.
34:00This attack was aimed at the boss.
34:02They want the Lorenzo Empire.
34:05I stood up.
34:07There were no tears left.
34:09Gather every armed unit the Lorenzo family has.
34:12Marco looked at me.
34:14Madam?
34:15If they're looking for death, I'll give it to them.
34:18I want the Moretti family erased.
34:20That night, the European underworld entered its bloodiest battle in years.
34:24The Lorenzo family's elite forces moved out at once.
34:27They attacked every Moretti stronghold across Europe.
34:29There was no negotiation.
34:30No warning.
34:32Only retaliation.
34:34I carried the Beretta Damien had given me.
34:36Every shot was for the man still lying in that hospital.
34:40Three days.
34:42That was all it took.
34:44The Moretti family had controlled part of Italy's underground world for generations.
34:48Now their entire network was gone.
34:50The news shook the entire underworld.
34:52And everyone learned the same thing.
34:55The woman beside Damien Lorenzo wasn't just his wife.
34:59She was the lady of the Lorenzo family.
35:02And she could be even more ruthless than the Don himself.
35:08I returned to the hospital with the smell of gunpowder still on my clothes.
35:12The doctor walked out.
35:14Mrs. Lorenzo, the bullet missed his heart by half an inch.
35:17He's out of danger.
35:18But he's still unconscious and needs time to recover.
35:20I finally let out the breath I'd been holding.
35:23My vision went black for a second.
35:25Marco caught me before I hit the floor.
35:27For the next two weeks, I barely left Damien's bedside.
35:30At the same time, I took over all of his work.
35:33Anyone who tried to take advantage of his condition was dealt with.
35:37By the time I was done, the Lorenzo family's power had reached a new height.
35:41Then one morning, the hand I was holding moved.
35:43I looked up.
35:44A pair of gray eyes was looking back at me.
35:47You're awake.
35:49My voice shook.
35:50The tears came before I could stop them.
35:53Damien raised one hand.
35:54He wiped the tears from my face.
35:56Look at you.
35:57How did you let yourself get this exhausted?
36:00I grabbed his hand and pressed it against my face.
36:04You're the idiot.
36:06Why did you take that bullet from me?
36:08If you died, what would be the point of me living alone?
36:13Damien smiled.
36:15His voice was still weak, but his answer was clear.
36:18Because I made a promise.
36:21Even if it cost me my life, I'll keep you safe.
36:25Then he looked at me.
36:28I couldn't do it in our last life.
36:30This time, I did.
36:33I stopped.
36:35He had finally said it himself.
36:38Damien remembered our last life, too.
36:40I leaned down and kissed his lips.
36:45Yes, you did.
36:47But you're never doing something this stupid again.
36:51Damien recovered faster than expected.
36:53During that time, the European underworld settled down under the order I'd imposed.
36:57The remaining factions had already learned not to challenge me.
37:00No one questioned my position as the lady of the Lorenzo family anymore.
37:03Sinclair Group was growing just as fast.
37:06Under my remote direction, it absorbed the market share Whitmore Hardings had left behind.
37:10It became one of the most powerful business empires in the country.
37:14Then, just when everything was finally settling down, an invitation arrived.
37:18It came from the real power behind the Lorenzo family, Damien's grandfather, Vito Lorenzo, the former Don.
37:24He wanted to meet me at the family's castle in Sicily.
37:26His message was simple.
37:28He wanted to see the woman who had turned the Lorenzo family upside down.
37:32Marco looked concerned when he saw the black and gold invitation in my hand.
37:36Madam, the former Don isn't an easy man to deal with.
37:38He's unpredictable, and he's ruthless.
37:40This meeting could be a trap.
37:42I looked down at the invitation.
37:44Trap or not, I'm going.
37:46If I'm going to be the lady of the Lorenzo family, I'll have to face him sooner or later.
37:52Damien still hadn't fully recovered, but he insisted on coming with me.
37:56On the helicopter, he held my hand.
37:59Don't be afraid.
38:00I'm here.
38:01I held his hand back.
38:03I've never been afraid.
38:10The helicopter landed beside a medieval castle on the cliffs of Sicily.
38:15Two rows of armed family guards were waiting for us.
38:19Damien and I walked into the castle together.
38:22An old man with silver hair sat in a wheelchair beside the fireplace.
38:26His eyes were still sharp.
38:28He was cleaning an antique revolver.
38:30He didn't even look up when he spoke.
38:33You're Evelyn Sinclair.
38:34I stepped forward.
38:36Yes, grandfather.
38:42Vito finally stopped cleaning the revolver.
38:44He looked up at me.
38:45Then his thoughts entered my head.
38:47She's beautiful.
38:49But Damien almost died because of her.
38:51A woman like this can't stay.
38:53My heart sank.
38:54So the old Don really had thought about killing me.
38:57I heard you took down the Moretti family almost by yourself.
39:00He turned the revolver in his hand.
39:02For my husband, I'll do whatever it takes.
39:04Vito watched me.
39:05Good.
39:06A mafia family needs someone ruthless.
39:09But it also needs loyalty and courage.
39:12He placed the redolter on the table.
39:14There's one bullet in the cylinder.
39:15Let's play a game.
39:17Russian roulette.
39:18Damien immediately stepped in front of me.
39:20Grandfather, this is too far!
39:21Vito raised his voice.
39:22Enough!
39:23You chose her!
39:24Then she has to prove she's worthy of the Lorenzo name.
39:27I stepped out from behind Damien.
39:29And if I win, I look directly at Vito.
39:31If you have the courage to pull that trigger, and you survive, the entire Lorenzo family will recognize you.
39:38And I'll personally officiate your wedding.
39:40Deal.
39:41I walked to the table.
39:43Then I picked up the heavy revolver.
39:45Evelyn, don't!
39:46Damien tried to rush toward me.
39:48Vito's guard stopped him.
39:50I looked at Damien.
39:52Then I turned back to Vito.
39:53I raised the revolver.
39:55And pressed the barrel against my temple.
39:58If the Lorenzo name demands courage...
40:02Then I'm worthy of it.
40:05No one in the hall made a sound.
40:07Damien fought against the guards holding him back.
40:09Then his thoughts crashed into my head.
40:11If she dies, I'll bury this entire castle with her.
40:15Hearing that, something warm passed through me.
40:18I pulled the trigger.
40:19Nothing happened.
40:20It was an empty chamber.
40:21I lowered the revolver.
40:23Then I tossed it back onto the table.
40:25Looks like God is on my side.
40:27Vito stared at me.
40:28He slapped the arm of his wheelchair.
40:30Then he burst out laughing.
40:31Good!
40:32Now that's a woman who isn't afraid to die.
40:35Then I heard his thoughts.
40:37Ruthless.
40:38Fearless.
40:39That's the kind of wolf Dame needs beside him.
40:41The Lorenzo family will be safe in their hands.
40:44Vito waved one hand.
40:45The guards immediately released Damien.
40:47He rushed toward me.
40:48Then he pulled me into his arms.
40:49His grip was so hard I could barely move.
40:52Are you insane?
40:53His voice was shaking.
40:55I wrapped my arms around him.
40:56If I'm not a little crazy, how could I ever be your godmother?
41:00Vito watched us and nodded.
41:02From today on, the Lorenzo family recognizes you as its lady.
41:06The test was over.
41:07One month from now, I'll give you the biggest wedding Sicily has ever seen.
41:11Damien and I had finally reached the other side of the danger.
41:17The wedding preparations began immediately.
41:20Everything was being arranged on a massive scale.
41:22The entire island of Sicily went into high security.
41:26Top designers flew in to create my wedding dress.
41:29The Lorenzo family poured its wealth into the wedding.
41:33Then, the night before the ceremony, Marco came to find us.
41:38Madam, we have a problem.
41:40I looked up at him.
41:43Vanessa escaped from the psychiatric hospital.
41:46After I had thrown Vanessa out, her mental state had collapsed.
41:50She had eventually been committed to a low-cost psychiatric facility.
41:54Damien looked at Marco.
41:56Lock down Sicily!
41:57Search every possible hiding place until you find her!
42:01Anyone who tries to ruin this wedding dies.
42:03I reached out and stopped him.
42:06Don't bother looking for her.
42:08Damien looked at Marco.
42:10Lock down Sicily!
42:11Search every possible hiding place until you find her!
42:14Anyone who tries to ruin this wedding dies!
42:17I reached out and stopped him.
42:19Don't bother looking for her.
42:20Damien turned towards me.
42:22If she wants to come, let her come.
42:24I could use one last stepping stone before this wedding is complete.
42:28With my ability to hear thoughts, Vanessa couldn't hide from me.
42:32No disguise could keep her intentions hidden.
42:34The next morning, sunlight covered Sicily.
42:37White roses decorated the island.
42:40Business tycoons and political figures had flown in from around the world.
42:44So had the leaders of major crime families.
42:47I stood in the dressing room wearing my wedding gown.
42:49The dress had taken more than a thousand hours of handwork to finish.
42:53I looked at myself in the mirror.
42:55Everything was ready.
42:57All that remained was the ceremony.
43:01The dressing room door opened.
43:02A maid walked in with her head down.
43:04She was pushing a service cart.
43:06The maid said,
43:07Madam, your tea.
43:08Her voice was deliberately low and roughed.
43:10I looked at her reflection in the mirror.
43:12Then I focused.
43:13Her thoughts came through immediately.
43:15Evelyn, you took everything from me.
43:18Today I'm going to destroy your face.
43:21I'll make you wish you were dead.
43:23That hatred was impossible to mistake.
43:25I turned away from the mirror.
43:26The maid was only two steps away.
43:29Vanessa?
43:30She stopped.
43:31You've been pretending to be insane all this time, just for today?
43:35The maid raised her head.
43:36It was Vanessa.
43:37The face she used to be so proud of had changed completely.
43:40Everything she'd been through had left her looking twisted and unstable.
43:43Now that I'd recognized her, she stopped pretending.
43:46She reached under the cart.
43:47Then she pulled out a glass bottle.
43:49Die!
43:49She rushed at me, but I'd already been expecting it.
43:52I stepped aside.
43:53Then I kicked her hard in the knee.
43:54Vanessa screamed and fell forward.
43:56The bottle slipped from her hand.
43:58It shattered across the floor.
44:00White fumes rose immediately.
44:01The acid began eating through the expensive carpet.
44:03A sharp sizzling sound filled the room.
44:07The guards outside heard the noise.
44:08They rushed into the dressing room.
44:10Two of them pinned Vanessa to the floor.
44:12Damien came in right behind them.
44:14He saw the shattered bottle on the carpet.
44:16White smoke was still rising from the acid.
44:18Take her away.
44:19He looked at Vanessa.
44:20Deal with her.
44:21And don't get anything on my wife's wedding dress.
44:24Evelyn!
44:24Vanessa struggled against the guards.
44:27You'll die a horrible death!
44:28Even as a ghost, I won't let you go!
44:31I walked over to her.
44:32I looked down at her.
44:34Too bad.
44:35You won't even get the chance to come back as a ghost.
44:38The guards dragged her out.
44:40Vanessa's screams disappeared down the hallway.
44:43From that moment on, Vanessa Sling Claire would never appear in my life again.
44:47The woman who had hurt me the most in my last life was finally gone.
44:51The dressing room became quiet again.
44:53Damien walked over to me.
44:56He pulled me into his arms.
44:58I'm sorry.
44:59You shouldn't have had to deal with that today.
45:02I looked up at him.
45:04Then I shook my head.
45:06No.
45:06Everything is perfect.
45:08Music started outside the room.
45:11Damien held out his hand.
45:13I placed mine in his.
45:15Then he led me out of the castle.
45:21The red carpet stretched from the castle all the way to the seaside church.
45:25Members of the Lorenzo family stood on both sides in black suits.
45:29As Damien and I passed, they lowered their heads to us.
45:32There was no betrayal waiting for me anymore.
45:34No family plotting against me.
45:37And no fake lover waiting to steal everything I had.
45:40The man standing beside me now was the most powerful man in my world.
45:45And he had loved me with two lifetimes of his own.
45:48The priest's voice echoed beneath the old church ceiling.
45:53Damien Lorenzo, do you take Evelyn Cisolaire as your wife?
45:57To love and cherish her in good times and bad?
46:00In wealth and poverty?
46:01In sickness and in health?
46:04Damien looked at me.
46:06I do.
46:08I swear it on my soul.
46:10The priest turned toward me.
46:12Evelyn, do you?
46:14I do.
46:15I didn't even wait for him to finish.
46:19Damien lifted my veil.
46:21Then he bent down and kissed me.
46:26Outside the church, white doves flew into the sky.
46:30Cannons fired across Sicily.
46:32And then I heard Damien's thoughts.
46:35Evelyn, my queen.
46:37In this life, you are above everything.
46:39I'll use my own blood and flesh to build your throne of thorns.
46:44I closed my eyes.
46:48And kissed him back.
