He Called His Wife a Vase

Cara Osborne sails up in a tiny vessel, but Nicole has already moored her yacht in that spot and orders her to kneel. Dario compares her to a vase, nothing more than decoration. She nevertheless goes ahead with the marriage and performs the role assigned to her, yet Dario keeps choosing Nicole. Luca, his brother, is the lone one who regards her as human. Once they move against her little boat, Cara places a single phone call. The dock shuts, friends vanish, bank accounts lock. Dario drops to his knees and pleads to lavish her with gifts, but she accepts Luca's hand instead. Cara holds on to the documents and allows the belated pampering. Only then does he discover she had been his wife all along, and never truly his.
