00:00Lorenzo Castellano, do you take Bianca Marchetti as your wife?
00:04My bridesmaid Sophia suddenly cried out,
00:06Lorenzo! I lost my contact lens!
00:08Lorenzo instinctively let go of me.
00:10He stepped off the altar, straight to Sophia, and steadied her.
00:15It's okay. Where did it fall?
00:16Sophia clutched his sleeve, eyes red.
00:19I think it fell around here.
00:21Lorenzo crouched to search. He even called out to everyone.
00:25Can everyone help us look?
00:27The guests exchanged glances. The officiant froze.
00:30Staring at his back, I asked quietly,
00:33Lorenzo, do you?
00:34He didn't look up or answer.
00:36The officiant cleared his throat awkwardly.
00:39Miss Marchetti, do you take Mr. Castellano to be your...
00:42I scoffed.
00:43Watching his back, I answered in my head,
00:46I don't want to marry him any longer.
00:48I pulled out my phone and texted a number I hadn't used in years.
00:52Didn't you say you'd steal me from my wedding if I said yes?
00:54Come to pick me. I'll leave with you.
00:57After Lorenzo went to Sophia,
00:59the noisy hall fell dead silent.
01:02My mother stood up first, her voice tight.
01:04Lorenzo, finish your vows.
01:06Find it later.
01:07Get back up there.
01:09Don't disgrace your bride.
01:10Exactly!
01:11What groom walks off mid-vow?
01:13Lorenzo finally glanced at me.
01:15I thought he'd at least look sorry.
01:17Instead, his voice stayed calm.
01:19Bianca, relax.
01:20The vows can wait.
01:21The ceremony's right here. It's not going to run off.
01:23Just work with me on this, okay?
01:27I stared at him.
01:28Suddenly, he felt like a stranger.
01:29You know how long I've been waiting for today.
01:32Do you?
01:33Lorenzo hesitated and hardened his tone.
01:36Don't be difficult.
01:38It's just a ceremony.
01:39Her safety comes first.
01:41Father's face darkened.
01:42He slammed his glass down.
01:44My mother stood there, her eyes red with anger.
01:48Sophia's eyes welled up, her voice trembling.
01:50I'm sorry, Bianca.
01:52I just couldn't see anything. I got scared.
01:54She leaned into Lorenzo like she was the victim.
01:57Suddenly, I remembered.
01:58At the movies, she called about a spider in her apartment.
02:01He left me in the theater.
02:03On our dating anniversary, she called about some guy pushing drinks on her.
02:06He left me home.
02:07When I had a 103 degree fever, he left me with three words.
02:11Take some medicine.
02:12But whenever Sophia said she was scared, he came running.
02:15Whenever I showed I was upset, Sophia would smile and say,
02:19Please, we're just friends.
02:21And Lorenzo always said,
02:22I'd never fall for a crybaby like her.
02:24I used to believe him.
02:26Now I understood.
02:27Whether he'd ever fall for her didn't matter.
02:30He always chose her.
02:32My mother walked over grimly.
02:34Sophia, I'll find it.
02:36Lorenzo, you should go and finish the ceremony.
02:38Lorenzo said nothing.
02:39Mrs. Marchecchi, I knew the ceremony is important, but I really didn't mean to.
02:45She turned to me.
02:46Bianca, please.
02:47Don't let your mother ruin the mood.
02:49Bianca, enough.
02:50Do you have to make a scene?
02:51I laughed.
02:52I make a scene?
02:53His voice was impatient.
02:54Sophia already explained that it was an accident.
02:57Don't be so jealous, okay?
02:58The room went dead silent.
03:00My father's face turned to stone.
03:01It was about to continue when someone shouted.
03:03I found it!
03:04Everyone turned.
03:05My cousin picked up a contact lens.
03:07Lorenzo relaxed and took it from her.
03:09Sophia, you got it.
03:10Sophia took it, examined it, and bit her lip.
03:13The next second, her eyes reddened.
03:15It's scratched.
03:16It's ruined.
03:17I can't wear it now.
03:22Lorenzo didn't hesitate.
03:25Don't worry.
03:26I'll get you another pair from the store nearby.
03:28My head snapped up.
03:29The officiant still stood at the altar.
03:31The music played on, but the wedding had stopped over Bianca's missing contact lens.
03:35My father's face was iron.
03:37Lorenzo!
03:38You're leaving now!
03:39My mother held back her anger and said,
03:41Sophia, come sit next to me.
03:43I'll look after you.
03:44Sophia didn't move.
03:46She shook her head, eyes red.
03:50Mrs. Marchetti, I can't.
03:51I can't see.
03:53What if I fall and ruin the wedding?
03:54I don't want to cause trouble on such a big day!
03:57My brother Marco snapped.
03:59You're the biggest problem, bitch.
04:01Sophia went pale, and tears fell instantly.
04:04Marco, how can you say that?
04:05Bianca is my best friend.
04:07Why would I ruin this day on purpose?
04:10It was an accident.
04:11Lorenzo pulled her behind him.
04:13Enough!
04:13His face dark.
04:14He looked at Marco, his voice hard.
04:16Sophia's upset enough.
04:18Watch your mouth.
04:19My mother trembled with rage.
04:21My father stood, his gaze icy.
04:24But Lorenzo didn't notice.
04:26His only concern was Sophia.
04:28Me and my family came second.
04:30I looked at him.
04:32Lorenzo, you're really gonna leave right now?
04:34He finally looked at me, and he seemed a little guilty.
04:36Bianca, I'll be back.
04:38Don't get upset.
04:39I almost laughed.
04:40He thought I'd just stand there,
04:42waiting for him to toss me, and I do.
04:44He was certain I wouldn't leave.
04:46That was why he could act like this.
04:49Minutes later, Lorenzo handed the new lens carefully to Sophia.
04:53Sophia, put it in.
04:55Sophia took it with trembling fingers.
04:57Her eyes wet.
04:58Everyone was watching her.
04:59Then she gasped.
05:00The lens crumpled in her fingers and broke.
05:02Her tears fell instantly.
05:03I'm sorry.
05:04I was too nervous.
05:05My mother finally snapped.
05:07Sophia, haven't you done enough?
05:10This whole wedding has been about you.
05:12Isn't that enough?
05:13Lorenzo frowned.
05:14He stepped in front of her instinctively.
05:16Mrs. Marchetti, don't scare her.
05:18He turned to Sophia, his voice soft.
05:20It's okay.
05:21I'll go get another pair.
05:23The air went dead.
05:24The last piece of hope in me let go.
05:26I turned and pulled out my phone.
05:28I opened the silent chat and sent a message.
05:31Didn't you say you'd steal me from my wedding if I said yes?
05:34Yes.
05:36I'll leave with you.
05:38The Marchetti man looked ready to kill.
05:41My father spoke first.
05:43Lorenzo, are you getting married or not?
05:46Lorenzo frowned, annoyed by the fuss.
05:48Mr. Marchetti, I'm just helping Sophia.
05:51Of course the wedding will continue.
05:53He said it without a hint of guilt,
05:54as if he hadn't left me at the altar
05:56and humiliated both families.
05:58My father laughed bitterly.
06:00Just help?
06:02Lorenzo's face darkened.
06:04Watch the tone, Mr. Marchetti.
06:06I still intend to marry Bianca.
06:09Helping Sophia changes nothing.
06:11Mr. and Mrs. Marchetti, don't blame Lorenzo.
06:14I don't want to ruin Bianca's wedding.
06:16Her voice growing more pitiful.
06:19Lorenzo is just being a friend.
06:21I almost laughed out loud.
06:23Seven years together,
06:24and his friend Sophia still came first.
06:26Lorenzo's mother had always favored her.
06:29She pulled Sophia close.
06:31Enough.
06:32Must you all gang up on her?
06:33She turned to my family.
06:34Today is supposed to be happy.
06:36Why scare the poor girl?
06:37My father's face flushed.
06:39He was about to step forward.
06:41I stopped him.
06:42I looked at Lorenzo,
06:43and at everyone else in the hall.
06:47Forget it.
06:49If Lorenzo doesn't want this,
06:51we won't force him.
06:52Lorenzo stiffened.
06:53His face went ugly.
06:56Bianca, are you threatening me?
06:57Just because I helped Sophia,
06:59you're going to ruin our wedding?
07:01Can't you be an adult?
07:02I looked at him coldly.
07:03Even now,
07:04he still thought I was immature,
07:06small-minded,
07:07and reasonable.
07:08Lorenzo,
07:08I'm not being petty.
07:10I'm done with you.
07:11He stepped forward,
07:12jaw clenched.
07:13Bianca, that's enough.
07:14I didn't look at him.
07:16I glanced at the chat on my phone,
07:17and a single reply.
07:19Ten minutes.
07:20Wait for me.
07:24I felt lighter than ever.
07:26Lorenzo's mother's face soured.
07:28Bianca,
07:29once you're a Castellano,
07:31you represent this family.
07:33Don't make a scene over nothing.
07:35Your actions aren't as respectable as your words.
07:38My uncle laughed coldly.
07:39Protecting another woman at your own wedding,
07:41then blaming the bride?
07:43Impressive.
07:43The air was on a knife's edge.
07:46Then Sophia looked up,
07:47tears rolling.
07:48It's my fault.
07:49I don't want to ruin the wedding.
07:50She sniffled softly.
07:52I'll be fine.
07:53Lorenzo, go back.
07:54Don't let me ruin your wedding.
07:56Marco laughed coldly.
07:58I'm getting good at playing the victim, Sophia.
08:00Proud of yourself?
08:01Sophia's tears fell harder.
08:03Marco,
08:03how can you think of me like that?
08:05I really didn't.
08:07Enough.
08:07Lorenzo looked at Marco,
08:09his voice cold.
08:10It's a wedding,
08:11not your chance to attack Sophia.
08:12She's already suffering.
08:14What more do you want?
08:15Lorenzo,
08:16open your eyes.
08:17Who really ruined this wedding?
08:19Lorenzo just turned to me.
08:20Bianca,
08:21one last time.
08:22I'll get a new pair and be right back.
08:23And then he actually left,
08:25without hesitation.
08:26When it came to Sophia,
08:27I always came second.
08:28I watched him leave,
08:29speechless.
08:30The Castellano side kept trying to smooth things over.
08:33Enough.
08:34It's just a small hiccup.
08:35His mother spoke first.
08:36Lorenzo will be back.
08:37Don't make this bigger than it is.
08:39A few Castellano men nodded in agreement.
08:41Everyone's here.
08:42Don't disgrace the family over this.
08:44Absurd.
08:45I was the one left alone at the altar,
08:47and they all expected me to let it go,
08:50as if I just had to swallow it,
08:51and everything would be fine.
08:53I looked at my phone.
08:54Three minutes.
08:58Lorenzo returned quickly,
09:00contacts in hand,
09:01his voice gentle.
09:02Be careful this time.
09:08He handed them over,
09:10then turned to me.
09:11He'd taken two steps.
09:13Sophia cried out.
09:14Lorenzo!
09:15The voice was frantic.
09:16I'm too nervous.
09:16I can't get them in.
09:17I'm afraid I'll break another one.
09:19Lorenzo froze.
09:20In that moment,
09:20it all seemed absurd.
09:22One minute left.
09:22I looked at him,
09:23and in front of everyone,
09:24I asked one last time.
09:27Lorenzo?
09:28Are you going to marry me or not?
09:30The hall went dead silent.
09:32Bianca, don't.
09:34We'll continue when Sophia's ready.
09:36That line again.
09:37Once she has her lens in,
09:38we'll continue.
09:39I nodded slowly.
09:40Fine.
09:41Then there's no need to continue.
09:43His face changed.
09:44I looked at him.
09:45Every word crystal clear.
09:46What did you say?
09:47I said,
09:48the wedding is over.
09:49The hall exploded.
09:50The officiant froze.
09:51Guests gasped.
09:52Even my mother's head
09:53snapped up to stare at me.
09:55Lorenzo's face was thunderous.
09:57Bianca Marchetti,
09:58don't pull this shit at our wedding.
10:00I said I'd be back.
10:01Are you really trying to piss me off?
10:03I didn't answer.
10:04The doors of the hall
10:05pushed open from outside.
10:07Every head turned.
10:08Beyond the doors.
10:12A convoy of black armored cars
10:14sealed off the entrance.
10:19At the end of the red carpet,
10:20a strikingly handsome man
10:22in a black suit strode in,
10:23with a bouquet of pink rose
10:25in his hand.
10:25He walked through the stunned crowd
10:27and stopped before me.
10:28Then he held out his hand.
10:30Bianca,
10:31I'm here to take you.
10:35I didn't hesitate.
10:36I placed my hand
10:37in Raphael Moreau's palm.
10:39His hand was steady,
10:40warm.
10:40I took one step forward,
10:42and my wrist was suddenly seized.
10:44Lorenzo had rushed over.
10:45Bianca,
10:46have you had enough?
10:48Let go of him
10:49and get back to the ceremony.
10:50His grip was so tight,
10:51my bones ached.
10:52Before I could speak,
10:53my father shoved his hand off me.
10:54Stay away from my daughter!
10:56Lorenzo stumbled
10:57half a step back,
10:58his face darker.
10:59Mr. Marchetti,
11:01Bianca's just being dramatic.
11:02Half our business is here today.
11:04Walking out with some stranger
11:05will only shame her.
11:06Marco stepped in front of me
11:07and laughed coldly.
11:08And staying here to be humiliated
11:09by you and Sofia,
11:10that's better for her?
11:11Lorenzo,
11:12you really think a lot of yourself.
11:13The air in the hall thickened.
11:14Lorenzo's father
11:15finally rose and approached,
11:17looking down on us.
11:18He glanced at me,
11:19then turned to my father.
11:21Vito,
11:23I thought you knew better.
11:25Seems the Marchettis
11:26have no respect
11:27for the Castellanos.
11:28My father's face darkened.
11:29He said nothing.
11:30Lorenzo's father spoke slowly.
11:32If this wedding falls apart,
11:34you know what happens.
11:36Our alliance,
11:37our territory,
11:39our business,
11:40it all goes with it.
11:41He paused.
11:42His smile went cold.
11:43All of that ends here.
11:44My mother's face changed.
11:47The Castellanos
11:48had climbed high
11:48over the years.
11:49If they pulled their money
11:50and pressed us,
11:51my family would suffer.
11:52Lorenzo glanced at his father,
11:53seemingly panicked.
11:54Dad,
11:54don't say that.
11:55He turned to me,
11:56softening.
11:56Bianca,
11:57my father's just angry.
11:59Sofia's like a sister to me.
12:00Don't read into it.
12:02Let's finish the wedding.
12:03I'll treat you better.
12:04He made it sound like a favor,
12:06as if I could just fall in line
12:07and forget the humiliation.
12:09I looked at him.
12:10I was so tired.
12:11Seven years.
12:12How had the man I loved
12:13turned into this?
12:14Lorenzo kept going.
12:15Bianca,
12:16this marriage is the best thing
12:17for the Marchettis.
12:18I can take your family further
12:20than they could ever go alone,
12:21and you'll be the most powerful
12:22Mrs. Castellane.
12:23I nearly laughed.
12:24Even now,
12:25he thought I was throwing a tantrum.
12:27Rafael finally spoke.
12:28He pulled me behind him,
12:29looking at Lorenzo and his father
12:30with open contempt.
12:32You?
12:32Most powerful?
12:33The words dropped like a stone.
12:36Lorenzo's father went ashen.
12:38Who the hell do you think you are,
12:40running your mouth
12:40at a Castellano wedding?
12:42Seeing I was fine,
12:43Rafael looked up again.
12:44His voice was quiet,
12:46but commanding.
12:46You'll find out soon enough.
12:47The hall went still
12:48for a heartbeat.
12:49Lorenzo's father laughed,
12:50furious.
12:52No one in Port Vessar
12:53talks to me like that.
12:55Watch your mouth, kid.
12:56It'll get you killed.
12:57Rafael didn't even bother arguing.
12:59His voice was almost bored.
13:00You're the Castellanos
13:01who keep begging the Moreos
13:02for a deal, aren't you?
13:05A ripple went through the hall.
13:07Someone drew in a sharp breath.
13:08Lorenzo's father's expression froze.
13:10Nice performance.
13:11Then he sneered.
13:12Even dragging the Moreo name in.
13:14You think dropping a couple of names
13:16makes you a player?
13:17Rafael looked at him and smiled.
13:18I don't need to perform.
13:20There was no warmth in it.
13:21Because it's already mine.
13:22Lorenzo's father frowned.
13:24What is?
13:25Rafael's voice wasn't loud,
13:27but every word carried
13:27through the whole hall.
13:30The Moreo family.
13:32I'm the Don.
13:33The room went silent,
13:34as if someone had cut the salad,
13:36then it burst.
13:37The Moreo family?
13:38The Moreos?
13:39The family every Don in the country fears?
13:41I heard once he took over,
13:42he cleaned out half the collateral lines.
13:44Ruthless.
13:45He looks so young,
13:46but that aura earlier,
13:47it's not fake.
13:48The whispers cut like blades
13:50into the Castellanos' faces.
13:51I stood next to Rafael,
13:53my fingers trembling.
13:54The truth was,
13:55before I sent that message,
13:56I hadn't known how high he'd climbed.
13:58I only knew that back
13:59when both our families
14:00were still in the capital,
14:01he used to follow me everywhere.
14:03I'd climb trees,
14:04and he'd stand below with his arms out,
14:06terrified I'd fall.
14:07I'd cause trouble,
14:08and he'd take the blame for me.
14:11Later,
14:11when my family fell
14:12and we moved away,
14:14he and I lost contact.
14:16Over the years,
14:17I'd only seen the name
14:18New Don of the Moreo family
14:19in the finance sections.
14:21I'd never connected that name
14:22to the boy from my memory.
14:23Until now,
14:24he was really here.
14:27Sophia laughed suddenly,
14:28like she'd finally found her opening.
14:30She took a couple of clicking steps
14:32forward on her heels,
14:33her tone all contempt.
14:35If you're going to lie,
14:37make it believable.
14:38The Moreo Don?
14:40Since when does Bianca
14:41know anyone at that level?
14:43She glanced at me,
14:44like she was covering for me.
14:47Bianca,
14:48even if you want to save face,
14:49don't build a lie this big.
14:51It only makes it worse
14:52when it collapses.
14:53Lorenzo's father
14:54apparently reminded
14:55laughed coldly.
14:56Exactly.
14:57The Moreas?
14:59A boy like you
15:00doesn't get to play Don.
15:01He looked Raphael up and down.
15:03His face grew colder.
15:05Enough!
15:06Kneel and apologize
15:08to the Castellanos.
15:09Then get out.
15:10It's my son's wedding,
15:11so I'll spare you this once.
15:12I was trembling with rage.
15:14Raphael didn't so much
15:15as lift an eyelid.
15:16He squeezed my hand lightly,
15:18steadying me.
15:19My father was looking
15:20at the Castellanos.
15:21His expression was complicated,
15:23but he spoke.
15:26Salvatore,
15:27I'd advise you
15:28not to commit to that
15:29just yet.
15:30Raphael Moreo,
15:31I know him.
15:32Every eye in the room
15:33turned to my father.
15:34Lorenzo's mother frowned.
15:36Vito,
15:37you'd play along
15:38with this too?
15:39My father ignored her.
15:41He looked only
15:42at Lorenzo's father.
15:43The Morensos
15:44were old friends
15:45of the Marchettis.
15:46Bianca grew up
15:47with Raphael.
15:48Look him up
15:49before you embarrass
15:50yourselves any further.
15:51Lorenzo's father's face
15:52shifted.
15:55But he wasn't ready
15:56to believe it.
15:58Friends,
15:59the Marchettis
16:00came here with nothing,
16:01Vito.
16:01If the Moreals
16:02truly backed you,
16:03you'd be somebody
16:04by now.
16:05Someone in the crowd
16:06looked him up.
16:06Then a gasp
16:07rose from the back.
16:10I found it.
16:12The guest held up
16:12the phone,
16:13voice shaking.
16:14The gang shootout
16:15at the casino.
16:16Someone got a photo
16:17of him.
16:18That's Don Morel.
16:19People saw the photo
16:20and began whispering.
16:22It really is him.
16:24The Castellanos
16:25just kicked a wall.
16:26No wonder he walked
16:27in with that presence.
16:28But Lorenzo
16:29wasn't buying it.
16:30He was staring
16:31at me with fury.
16:32Then he laughed
16:33coldly.
16:35Bianca,
16:36you put a lot
16:37of thought into this.
16:38I froze.
16:39You hired an actor
16:40to make me jealous?
16:41You really thought
16:42I'd come running
16:43back to you?
16:44I couldn't believe
16:45he said that.
16:46Even now,
16:46he wouldn't believe it.
16:47Or maybe he did.
16:49He just couldn't admit
16:50he'd been wrong
16:51or that someone
16:52had chosen me
16:53without hesitation.
16:54Sophia stepped forward,
16:56her voice soft.
16:57Bianca,
16:58I'm sorry.
16:59This is my fault.
17:01Lorenzo cares about you.
17:03He wouldn't have planned
17:04all this if he didn't.
17:05She sighed lightly.
17:09Don't be foolish
17:09and throw your life
17:10to down on a con artist.
17:14Lorenzo's mother cut in,
17:15her bias and disgust obvious.
17:17A future dona
17:18should know better,
17:19like Sophia.
17:20My fingertips went cold.
17:21Raphael pulled me close,
17:22covering my ear
17:23to shut out their voices.
17:24I looked up at him,
17:25startled.
17:26He looked down.
17:26His gaze was dark
17:27and gentle.
17:28Don't listen.
17:29It's filth.
17:29With his other hand,
17:30he made a call.
17:31His voice stayed calm,
17:32almost casual.
17:33Sister,
17:34do me a favor.
17:35One hour.
17:37Then I want the Castellanus
17:38out of Port Vesic.
17:39He said it
17:39without any lift
17:40in his voice.
17:41Lorenzo's father froze
17:42and laughed with rage.
17:44Big talk, kid.
17:45You think you own this city?
17:47Lorenzo glared
17:48at Raphael's arm around me,
17:50his face twisting.
17:52Take your hand off her.
17:53She's my fiancée.
17:54Raphael looked at him
17:55like a bug.
17:55Fiancée?
17:56You left her at the altar.
17:58Now you remember
17:58she's your fiancée?
17:59Or are you just afraid
18:00she'll walk out
18:01and humiliate you?
18:02Lorenzo ground the words out.
18:03Let her go.
18:05Raphael ignored him.
18:07He kept his arm around me
18:08and turned toward the doors.
18:09Don and Donna Marchetti.
18:10Marco.
18:11Anyone else who stands
18:12with Bianca,
18:13come with me.
18:13My parents didn't hesitate.
18:15They followed at once.
18:16Let's go.
18:17We're done here.
18:18Several other Marchettis
18:19stood up too.
18:20We barely reached the doors
18:22when armed men
18:23blocked our way.
18:24Guns raised.
18:25The air went hot.
18:26Lorenzo's father's voice
18:28was low.
18:28It pressed the breath
18:29out of the room.
18:34Let's see who dares
18:35walk out today.
18:38He adjusted his cuff slowly.
18:41His eyes were pure malice.
18:44He kept pretending long enough
18:46that he actually thinks
18:46he's a Moretti.
18:48Bianca,
18:49come back.
18:50I'll pretend none of this happened.
18:51I didn't move.
18:52Sofia moved beside Lorenzo.
18:54Bianca, think carefully.
18:55The Marchettis survive in this city
18:56because the Castellanos allow it.
18:57Walk away
18:58and the Marchettis pay for it.
18:59My mother stepped forward.
19:00The fate of the Marchettis
19:01isn't yours to decide.
19:02My eyes stung.
19:03Marco moved in front of me.
19:05Bianca,
19:05go with Raphael.
19:06We've got this.
19:09More Marchettis
19:10stepped forward.
19:11Go.
19:12We'll handle this.
19:13Kill us
19:14and half the docks
19:15shut down
19:16and see if they dare.
19:17The moment we moved,
19:18Castellano men
19:19raised their guns.
19:20Shouts elected.
19:21Chairs crept.
19:22Someone fired.
19:23Raphael pulled me
19:24and drew his gun.
19:25Stay behind me.
19:26Raphael dropped
19:26several men in seconds.
19:28Then I saw another gun
19:29lies behind him.
19:30It was aimed at me.
19:31I didn't have time to react.
19:34A shot cracked through the hall.
19:36Raphael turned
19:37and opened beneath him.
19:38His body jerked,
19:39but his arms
19:40stayed locked around me.
19:41I looked up.
19:42His face had gone pale.
19:44Sweat beaded at his temple.
19:47Raphael?
19:49He raised his gun
19:50and came with fire.
19:51The man behind us
19:52went down.
19:53I'm fine.
19:55He wasn't.
19:56His grip loosened.
19:57The hall erupted into chaos.
19:59Then right in front of me,
20:01Raphael collapsed.
20:03Raphael!
20:05I threw myself down
20:06and caught him.
20:07His face was terrifyingly white.
20:10His lips had drained of color.
20:12Cold sweat covered his forehead.
20:14His breathing was short and shallow.
20:15He had a heart condition.
20:17My hands were shaking.
20:18The scene around us was chaos.
20:20I fumbled through Raphael's pockets.
20:22I couldn't find his indication.
20:23Then more commotion from the entrance.
20:25Someone called out.
20:26Mr. Russo!
20:27The hall quieted.
20:28I recognized Preston Russo,
20:30a business tycoon
20:31desperate to get in
20:32with the Moreaus
20:32and their underworld connections.
20:34And the Castellanos
20:35had been courting him
20:36just as hard.
20:37Lorenzo's father lit up
20:38and rushed over.
20:39Mr. Russo!
20:40Glad you made it!
20:41Ignore the mess!
20:42I couldn't wait.
20:43I held Raphael
20:44and shouted at him.
20:45Mr. Russo!
20:46This is Raphael Moreau.
20:47Don of the Moreai family.
20:48He needs a hospital now!
20:51Preston paused,
20:52looking for me
20:52to Raphael in my arms.
20:55He snorted.
20:56Miss Marchetsi,
20:57be serious.
20:58The Moreai Don
20:59is far beyond your reach.
21:01You can't drag in
21:02some nobody
21:02and call him a Moreau.
21:04I froze.
21:08Lorenzo's father
21:09seized the opening
21:10at once.
21:10Mr. Russo,
21:11my son's bride
21:12brought in a fake
21:13Don Morea.
21:14He even threatened
21:14to wipe us out
21:15within an hour.
21:16The whispers rose again.
21:17Preston Russo
21:18looked down at Raphael.
21:19His voice was sharp enough
21:20to draw blood.
21:21Even I deal with the Moreas
21:23through Don's sister.
21:24And you expect me
21:25to believe this nobody
21:26is Don Morea?
21:27If the Moreas hear about this,
21:28he's dead.
21:29The crowd bought it.
21:30Their contempt returned.
21:33My tears were spilling.
21:36You don't understand.
21:39Preston pulled out his phone,
21:40eager to score points
21:41with the Moreaus.
21:42Miss Morea is busy,
21:44but since I'm here,
21:44I'll make the call.
21:45Consider it a favor.
21:46He dialed.
21:47The line connected fast.
21:48The room fell silent.
21:49I heard the cold voice
21:50on the phone.
21:51Speak.
21:51Preston Russo straightened,
21:53bowing without realizing it.
21:54Miss Morea,
21:55sorry to bother you.
21:56There's a fraud here
21:57claiming to be Don Morea.
21:59Thought you should know.
21:59There was a pause.
22:01I'm on my way.
22:02I have business to handle.
22:03Don't bother me with this.
22:05She was about to hang up.
22:06My heart slammed.
22:07I lunged forward.
22:09Sister!
22:13Sister!
22:14Before I could speak,
22:15Sophia clamped a hand
22:16over my mouth,
22:17nails digging into my cheek.
22:18Bianca, stop.
22:19Haven't you embarrassed
22:20yourself enough?
22:21I struggled.
22:23Lorenzo grabbed my wrist,
22:25his voice low.
22:26Stay out of this.
22:27This is water we can't touch.
22:29I stared at him.
22:30It was almost funny.
22:32This was my wedding.
22:33They were the ones
22:34who turned it into this mess.
22:36The line had gone dead.
22:39Preston Russo
22:40tucked his phone away
22:41with a satisfied nod.
22:44You heard her.
22:45The Miss Morea
22:46doesn't waste her time
22:47on things like this.
22:48Lorenzo's father
22:48strode over
22:49and kicked
22:49who did Raphael.
22:51Still faking it?
22:52Almost had us fooled.
22:53I lunged to stop him
22:54and was yanked back
22:55by a guard.
22:56My family was also
22:57pinned down.
22:58Mom screamed my name
22:59while Marco fought
23:00against the men holding him.
23:01I reached for my phone,
23:02but a guard knocked it away
23:03and crushed it
23:04under his heel.
23:05My full body was trembling.
23:06My voice was worse.
23:08If he dies,
23:08all of you die.
23:13No one listened.
23:14They all thought
23:15I'd lost my mind.
23:16The guards hauled me up
23:17and dragged me
23:18toward the altar.
23:19The officiants
23:20were terrified.
23:21The guests watched
23:22like it was a joke.
23:23Lorenzo followed.
23:24Bianca, enough.
23:26Finish the wedding
23:27and I'll forget
23:27this ever happened.
23:28I stared at him.
23:29You disgust me.
23:31His face darkened,
23:32but he picked up
23:32the ring meant
23:33for my finger.
23:34Raphael stirred,
23:35pale as he struggled
23:36to his feet.
23:36Let her go.
23:38Oh, my tears fell.
23:39Raphael!
23:40He looked at me.
23:41His eyes were desperate,
23:42but he was outnumbered.
23:43They held my hand down,
23:44forcing the ring
23:45onto my finger.
23:46Just before they
23:46forced it onto my finger,
23:48the doors of the hall
23:49exploded inwards
23:49from a single gate.
23:51Everyone froze.
23:52Hundreds of heavily armed,
23:53disciplined men
23:54in black flooded in.
23:55Within seconds,
23:56they had the whole room
23:56controlled.
23:57Every head turned,
23:58even Lorenzo's hand,
23:59holding the ring,
24:00froze midi.
24:01Backlit against the doorway,
24:02a tall, striking figure
24:04walked in on stilettos.
24:05She swept her gaze
24:06across the wreckage
24:07and stopped on Raphael,
24:08pinned to the floor.
24:09Her face went murderous.
24:10Who dares to touch
24:12the dawn of my family?
24:16The moment Preston Russo
24:17recognized her,
24:19his face lost all its color.
24:21Miss... Miss Moray.
24:22His voice shook.
24:23The arrogance
24:24from a moment before
24:25was gone.
24:26The woman walked in
24:27step by step.
24:28Behind her,
24:29the men in black
24:29poured through the hall
24:30until every exit was sealed.
24:32Lorenzo's father froze
24:33and forced a smile.
24:35Miss Moray,
24:36you must be mistaken.
24:38He pointed at Raphael,
24:39pinned on the floor.
24:40That's just an actor
24:41my daughter-in-law hired
24:42to steal her away.
24:44Looks a little like
24:45Mr. Moray.
24:46Had the nerve
24:47to impersonate him.
24:48I only held him back
24:49to protect the Moray name.
24:50Lorenzo jumped in.
24:51Yes, Miss Moray.
24:52Bianca found him.
24:53He can't possibly
24:55be your brother.
24:55Bianca was only fighting with me.
24:56That's how this got out of hand.
24:58Sophia clacked over
24:58on her heels,
24:59her voice all honey.
25:00Yes, Miss Moray.
25:02Someone like Raphael Moray.
25:03He'd never do something
25:04so low as crashing a wedding.
25:06The next second,
25:07a slap cracked across her face.
25:09The whole hall went silent.
25:10Sophia's head snapped to the side.
25:12She caught her cheek,
25:13disbelief in her eyes.
25:14Raphael's sister lowered her hand.
25:16Her face was ice.
25:17Who do you think you are
25:18to speak about my brother?
25:19Move.
25:20Sophia's tears burst out,
25:21but she didn't dare make a sound.
25:23I broke free of the guards
25:25and rushed to Raphael,
25:26holding him up.
25:28Camilla!
25:28He was shot!
25:33Camilla's face changed instantly.
25:35The medical team behind her
25:37rushed forward,
25:38kneeling to check him.
25:39Seconds later,
25:40the doctor's face went grim.
25:42His condition is critical.
25:43Camilla's voice cracked like a whip.
25:45Cars are outside.
25:46Move now!
25:47Lorenzo's father tried to speak again.
25:49One of Camilla's men
25:50clamped a hand on his shoulder.
25:52He couldn't move.
25:53My parents and Marco
25:54finally broke free
25:55and hurried over.
25:56My mother saw the red marks
25:57on my wrist
25:58and her eyes filled.
25:59No one had time for anything else.
26:01The doctor said something
26:02quietly to Camilla.
26:03Camilla's eyes cut across
26:04every Castellano in the room.
26:06She spoke through her teeth.
26:07The Castadillos have done well
26:08for themselves.
26:09She turned to me,
26:10her tone softer.
26:12Come to the hospital with me.
26:13I nodded.
26:14I half carried Raphael
26:15as we moved out.
26:16We passed Lorenzo.
26:17He reached for me.
26:18Two guards stepped in
26:19and blocked him.
26:20His voice cracked.
26:21Bianca!
26:22I didn't even look at him.
26:23Before we got into the car,
26:24Raphael finally sank.
26:26His weight fell against me.
26:27I caught him.
26:28My tears came at once.
26:29He was still trying
26:30to lift his hand.
26:31He caught my fingers.
26:32Those calm, cool eyes
26:34were weak now,
26:34but they didn't leave my face.
26:36Bianca.
26:37His voice was so low
26:38I could barely hear.
26:39Don't be afraid.
26:41Today doesn't count.
26:42I'll give you a better wedding.
26:43A bigger one.
26:44His hand loosened.
26:48The emergency light
26:49outside the private suite
26:50stabbed my eyes.
26:51I sat on the bench
26:53in the hallway.
26:54My palms still held
26:55the warmth of his hand.
26:57Hours later,
26:58Camilla walked out
26:59and gave her orders.
27:00The Castellanos
27:01and every family
27:02that sided with them
27:03were quickly dismantled.
27:04The wind in the city
27:05shifted overnight.
27:06One moment,
27:07the Castellanos
27:08were at the top.
27:09The next,
27:09they were kicked
27:10from the clouds
27:10into the mud.
27:11My family and I
27:12were walking out
27:13of the hospital lobby
27:14when they blocked our path.
27:15Lorenzo's eyes
27:16were bloodshot.
27:17His parents stood behind him,
27:18stripped of the arrogance
27:19from the ceremony.
27:20Sofia had come too.
27:21Lorenzo looked at me.
27:23His voice was rough.
27:24Bianca,
27:25let's talk.
27:25Marco stepped in front of me
27:27and laughed coldly.
27:29Talk about what?
27:30How you destroyed the wedding?
27:32Or how your family
27:33destroyed itself?
27:34Lorenzo didn't seem
27:35to hear him.
27:36He kept looking at me.
27:37Bianca,
27:37I didn't know
27:38it would turn into this.
27:39I only went to help
27:40Sofia find her contact.
27:41I only...
27:41I laughed.
27:43Only find a contact
27:44and abandon your fiancé
27:45on the altar?
27:46Only find a contact
27:47and let your parents
27:48and Sofia humiliate me
27:49and my family?
27:54He went pale.
27:56His lips moved.
27:57Nothing came out.
27:58Lorenzo's mother
27:58forced a smile
27:59and stepped forward.
28:01Bianca,
28:01Lorenzo knows he was wrong.
28:03Marry him
28:03and I'll treat you
28:04like my own daughter.
28:05My mother cut her off cold.
28:06Sweet words now?
28:07Where was that
28:08when you humiliated my daughter?
28:09Lorenzo's father
28:10lowered himself.
28:11Vito,
28:12Mrs. Marchenni,
28:12the Castellanos
28:13didn't handle today well,
28:14but a misunderstanding
28:14shouldn't end
28:15our family's alliance.
28:17A misunderstanding.
28:18My father laughed.
28:19You humiliated my daughter
28:20at her own wedding.
28:21You call that
28:21a misunderstanding,
28:22Salvatore?
28:23The room froze
28:23and Sofia,
28:24of all people,
28:25wouldn't stop.
28:26She touched her still red cheek
28:27and muttered,
28:28Did it have to become this?
28:29Even the memorials
28:30got dragged in.
28:31Who could have known
28:32it would go this far?
28:33Marco snapped.
28:34You have the nerve.
28:35You were the one
28:35stirring the pot
28:36from start to finish.
28:37Sofia's eyes teared up
28:38and she shrank toward Lorenzo.
28:39I didn't mean to.
28:41Bianca's clearly
28:42just being dramatic.
28:43Hearing that,
28:43Lorenzo looked crushed
28:44with regret.
28:45Maybe he finally understood.
28:46It wasn't Sofia's accidents.
28:48It was him choosing her
28:49every time.
28:50He had let her.
28:51He had picked her.
28:52He had pushed me away
28:53with his own hands.
28:54He turned to Sofia.
28:55His eyes went cold
28:56for the first time.
28:57Shut up.
28:58Sofia froze,
28:59tears still on her face.
29:01Lorenzo?
29:01His voice was tight.
29:02If you hadn't caused
29:03scene after scene,
29:04the wedding wouldn't
29:04have fallen apart.
29:05I kept choosing you
29:06and Bianca gave up on me.
29:08And you call her dramatic?
29:10Sofia looked stunned.
29:15I didn't wait
29:16to hear the rest.
29:17I turned to leave
29:18with my family.
29:19Behind me,
29:19an argument broke out.
29:21Lorenzo's mother panicked,
29:22actually shouted.
29:23Then let Sofia
29:24finish the ceremony
29:25with Lorenzo.
29:26Sofia went stiff.
29:29Mrs. Marchetti,
29:30are you joking?
29:31Lorenzo's mother's
29:31voice went shrill.
29:32You wanted his attention.
29:34Bianca's gone as you wish.
29:36Take her place.
29:37What's the problem?
29:38Sofia's face went red,
29:40then white.
29:41Lorenzo's face darkened.
29:43Mom, enough.
29:44Lorenzo's mother
29:45rounded on him.
29:46If you didn't want her,
29:47why did you keep
29:48cutieing her over Bianca?
29:49You ruined the wedding.
29:50You ruined this family.
29:52I stood a little way off.
29:54It was ridiculous.
29:55Lorenzo's father
29:55finally spoke,
29:56cold.
29:57All of you,
29:58stop.
29:59Lorenzo,
30:00get her back.
30:01Whatever it takes.
30:02This marriage
30:03cannot be broken.
30:04I didn't stay.
30:06I got in the car.
30:08The next morning,
30:09Lorenzo was on his knees
30:10at my front door.
30:12His suit was rumpled,
30:13his eyes shadowed,
30:14stubble on his jaw.
30:16My mother went
30:16to call security.
30:18I stopped her.
30:19Lorenzo saw me
30:20and his eyes lit up.
30:22Bianca,
30:22I waited all night.
30:24I stood on the steps
30:25and looked at him quietly.
30:26You have something to say?
30:27His throat moved.
30:28His voice was hoarse.
30:31Just come back.
30:33I'll cut Sofia off.
30:34Just give me one more chance.
30:36I cut in.
30:36Lorenzo,
30:36do you know
30:37how many chances
30:37I've given you?
30:41I looked at him.
30:42My voice surprised me
30:43with how calm it was.
30:45The night I had a fever,
30:46you were at Sofia's department.
30:49Our anniversary,
30:50you left me for her.
30:54Every time I said
30:55you two were too close,
30:56you told me
30:57I was overthinking.
30:58I was being immature
30:59and unreasonable.
31:00My patience,
31:01my love,
31:02my hope,
31:03you spent it all
31:04at that wedding.
31:04His face drained of color.
31:06That's not true, Bianca.
31:08It is.
31:08I said it softly.
31:10I don't want to be
31:11your second choice.
31:12His eyes were red.
31:13He wanted to say something.
31:15Just then,
31:15Sofia came running up.
31:17She shouted,
31:18her eyes red.
31:20Bianca Martirio,
31:21have you had enough?
31:23Lorenzo and I
31:23were just friends.
31:25Why are you
31:25pinning everything on me?
31:26We were just
31:27helping each other.
31:28I looked at her
31:29and laughed.
31:30Friends?
31:31Late night calls?
31:32Private dates?
31:33Stealing him
31:34from his own wedding?
31:36Tell me, Sofia,
31:37what part of that
31:38sounds like friendship?
31:44Sofia's face
31:44went ugly.
31:45I took a step closer.
31:49Now you have each other?
31:51Just stay the hell
31:51away from me.
31:52Lorenzo's face changed.
31:54Bianca,
31:55she and I are not...
31:56I cut him off.
31:57Are or aren't,
31:58it doesn't matter anymore.
32:00Sofia bit her lip,
32:01still wanting to fight.
32:03Then,
32:03from the street,
32:04a low-even rumble
32:06of engines.
32:07A line of black cars
32:08pulled up
32:09in front of my house.
32:10The door opened
32:11and a familiar figure
32:12stepped out.
32:13Raphael stood
32:14in a black suit,
32:15still pale,
32:16but his eyes softened
32:17when he saw me.
32:19Like he'd finally reached
32:20what he'd been waiting for.
32:22He stopped at the bottom
32:23of the steps
32:23and held out his hand.
32:25Bianca,
32:27marry me.
32:28My nose stung
32:29all at once.
32:30Lorenzo panicked
32:31and stepped between us.
32:32You can't go with him.
32:34He reached into his jacket
32:35and pulled out
32:35a folded yellowed card.
32:37I froze.
32:38It was the forgiveness card
32:39I had written to him
32:40on our third anniversary.
32:42He'd said he'd been
32:43too busy,
32:44but he kept upsetting me.
32:46I'd laughed
32:47and given him the card,
32:48said it could cash in
32:49for one mistake.
32:51I'd almost forgotten
32:52about it.
32:53He'd kept it.
32:54Lorenzo clutched it.
32:55His eyes were red.
32:57Bianca,
32:58you said it.
32:59No matter what happened,
33:00we always had
33:01one more chance.
33:02I'm cashing it in now.
33:03I looked at him
33:04for a few seconds.
33:05It struck me as absurd.
33:06Lorenzo,
33:07the card expired
33:08a long time ago.
33:09Just like you.
33:10I reached up
33:11and unclasped
33:12the necklace
33:12around my neck.
33:13It was the anniversary
33:14gift he'd given me.
33:16I'd worn it every day.
33:17I'd never taken it off.
33:19I lifted it
33:20and threw it.
33:20The silver chain
33:21hit the rushing water
33:22and vanished.
33:24Lorenzo went rigid.
33:25I looked at him.
33:27My voice was quiet
33:28and there was no room
33:29left to soften it.
33:30From today on,
33:32there's no possibility of us.
33:33I didn't look at him again.
33:35I walked down the steps
33:37and placed my hand
33:38in Raphael's.
33:39His hand was still steady.
33:41Still warm.
33:42As if once he'd held on,
33:44he'd never let go.
33:46Later I heard.
33:47The Vances fell
33:49with the Castellanos.
33:50Sofia's wedding stunt
33:51finished them.
33:52Partners walked,
33:53banks called in loans,
33:55and bankruptcy followed.
33:57Sofia was thrown out
33:58by her own family.
33:59She reportedly cried
34:00outside the Vance house
34:01all night.
34:02They never let her back in.
34:03I heard all of it
34:05and let it go
34:05because my life
34:06after the wedding
34:07was too good.
34:11If I stayed in bed
34:12ten extra minutes,
34:14Raphael brought me breakfast.
34:16If I wanted dessert,
34:17it showed up
34:18within half an hour.
34:19Once,
34:20I mentioned wanting
34:21to design clothes.
34:23By afternoon,
34:24the top design team
34:25was at the door.
34:26Mrs. Morea,
34:27whatever you want to design,
34:28we'll make it happen.
34:28I turned to Raphael.
34:30He looked up from his book.
34:32Didn't you want to design?
34:33So design.
34:34I laughed
34:35and sat beside him.
34:37You'll spoil me rotten.
34:39That's the idea.
34:41He pulled me into his lap.
34:43Then you won't leave me.
34:45I blushed
34:46and hit him
34:46and suddenly
34:48remembered something.
34:49Wait.
34:50Port Vesper was hours away.
34:52How did you get there
34:52so fast when I messaged you?
34:54Raphael was quiet
34:55for a moment.
34:55Because I was already
34:56in Port Vesper.
34:57I froze.
34:58He kissed my forehead,
34:59his voice low.
35:01The Muratos were at war
35:02for years.
35:03I stayed away
35:04to keep you safe.
35:05But I always kept
35:06an eye on you.
35:07My chest ached.
35:09Then I heard
35:09you were getting married.
35:11He smiled.
35:12I flew in yesterday
35:13just to see you.
35:15If you truly wanted him,
35:16I would have walked away.
35:17He looked down at me.
35:19His eyes held light.
35:20Then your message came.
35:21Bianca,
35:23I'd waited so long
35:25for those words.
35:26My nose stung.
35:27That message
35:28wasn't just
35:28my last resort.
35:30It was what
35:30he'd waited years for.
35:32I wrapped my arms
35:33around him.
35:34Thank God.
35:35I hadn't missed
35:36my chance with him.
