00:00subscribe like and stay till the end to uncover the shocking twists in this story trust me you don't want to miss where this ends it started the way most bad decisions do past midnight with caffeine in my veins and a screen glowing in the dark
00:16i wasn't supposed to be inside that game not like this i'd broken through a firewall that wasn't mine slipped into a level i knew damn well wasn't coded for public players curiosity had me by the throat and it always did the screen blinked static rippling across the neon lit map i typed fast heartbeat syncing with the keystrokes and then a message box appeared unknown player who the hell are you
00:46my hands froze over the keyboard i wasn't a system bot the words weren't scripted they pulsed on my screen like a living thing me nice try cute roleplay who writes your dialogue seconds later another line appeared unknown player log out now something about it sharp clipped not like some sweaty gamer behind a headset made my stomach drop
01:13i laughed nervously into the silence of my room brushing hair from my face okay dramatic match then the voice came not typed not imagined a low gravel edge drawl through my headphones tell me your name i ripped them off heart pounding my chair spun slightly nobody else should have been able to patch in like that
01:38me typing cute real original you're scaring me the reply came faster than i could breathe unknown player if you know my name you're already dead
01:50the room felt smaller like the shadows press closer for two nights i tried to convince myself it was some kind of underground hacker messing with me nothing more
02:02but i couldn't stay away something about the way his words bled through the screen dark certain like a warning carved into bone hooked me by the third night i was back and he was waiting unknown player you don't listen well may and you don't scare me unknown player you should i bit down on my lip staring at the blinking cursor
02:26what are you the mafia or something i typed it half joking half hoping for a sarcastic reply but there was only silence long enough that my chest tightened
02:38then say that again his voice slid back through my headset not mocking deadly calm i swallowed hard throat dry you're really committing to this bet huh i don't play games
02:52he said it should have been enough to log off delete the program walk away but i didn't because the next thing he said didn't sound like a threat it sounded like a dare
03:04you're in over your head stay and you'll drown and god help me i stayed the fourth night something shifted his tone was different less jagged almost curious
03:16why break in why break in he asked i hesitated before typing back because locked doors pissed me off there was a pause then a low laugh quiet and humorless
03:28you're reckless i felt my face heat even though nobody was there and you're hiding behind a keyboard silence again long enough for me to wonder if i pushed too far
03:40then you wouldn't say that to my face try me i whispered without meaning to the screen flickered pixelated shadows crawling over the map then my stomach dropped
03:52my ip address was on the screen he traced me i scrambled to kill the connection but his voice cut through the panic too late i barely slept
04:04every noise outside my window had me flinching but the worst part my chest burned with something that wasn't fear
04:12it was thrill the next night i didn't log in i swore i was done but at 2am my phone buzzed with a text from an unknown number
04:22unknown you forgot to say goodnight i dropped the phone pulse in my throat how the hell did he another text unknown don't worry
04:32i'm not outside your door yet i should have called the cops blocked the number done anything but reply
04:40instead i typed with shaking hands me who are you
04:44and the answer came like a blade pressed to skin unknown the man you just made your final boss
04:50don't forget to subscribe and like because the deeper we go the darker this gets
04:56i told myself i wouldn't answer his messages that silence only makes obsession louder by the third
05:04day i was back keyboard under my fingers palms damp daring him to show up and of course he did unknown
05:13player you couldn't stay away i typed faster than my brain could keep up and the other could you the
05:20cursor blinked like he was laughing at me without sound then came his voice pouring through the headset
05:27low steady a storm waiting you're reckless you don't understand what i am and you don't understand what
05:35i'm not i shot back surprising myself with the edge of my voice i'm not scared of you his silence stretched
05:44then you should be the more he tried to scare me off the more i leaned in it wasn't smart it wasn't
05:52safe but it was magnetic his danger was gravity pulling me closer no matter how i fought it night
05:59after night we collided on that map sometimes with sharp words sometimes with long silences where i swore
06:07i could feel his breathing through the headset and in those silences i forgot who he was supposed to be
06:14one night i asked why are you even here guys like you don't exactly waste time on video games
06:21a chuckle slipped through not amused just tired it isn't a game it's a channel secure no cops no wires
06:31my chest tightened so what you're saying this is stop asking questions you can't afford the answers to
06:38his voice snatched sharp again cutting through me i clenched my fists you think you can control me
06:45i know i can't he said quietly and that was worse because it sounded honest for days i told myself i hated
06:52him that i logged in only to prove i wasn't afraid but then he asked out of nowhere what's your favorite
07:00memory it disarmed me nobody asked me that not seriously don't laugh i warned but i was six my
07:10dad used to sneak me ice cream after midnight when my mom was asleep just us chocolate dripping down my
07:17fingers him swearing me to secrecy like it was a crime there was a pause then his voice softer than
07:25i'd ever heard it sounds like he loved you the air shifted my chest ached he did he's gone now silence
07:34stretched so long i thought he disconnected then mine didn't the words were heavy final like he'd open
07:42the door he never meant me to see after that night everything felt different the banter was still there
07:49but underneath it an ache a pull i didn't want to name i caught myself smiling at the screen when his
07:56messages came through i caught myself leaning into the sound of his voice like it belonged in my room
08:03instead of bleeding through wires and that terrified me more than any of his threats i tried to push back
08:11to draw the line this thing between us it can't happen there is no thing he said flatly exactly i folded my
08:21arms like he could see me so stop calling stop showing up the silence that followed pressed heavy
08:29then his voice quieter than a whisper you don't want me to stop my breath hitched my fingers froze above
08:36the keys and damn him he was right but i couldn't last because attraction doesn't erase truth the next
08:45night curiosity sank its teeth in deep i stayed up until the sky began to pale searching following
08:52breadcrumbs usernames encrypted files my brain told me to quit my heart told me i was already in too deep
09:01and then on a forum buried in the dark web i saw it a name a photo him not some anonymous hacker not a
09:09lonely guy hiding in a basement his real name his real face staring back at me from a mugshot and a news
09:16archive the heir to one of the most dangerous crime families in new york bloodlines written in violence
09:23a history paved in disappearances and fire i slammed the laptop shut breath shaking
09:30the final words from that forum burned into me masson varilla son of the dome suspected in three murders
09:39never convicted and that's how i learned the truth the man whose voice i couldn't shake the one who called
09:45himself my final boss wasn't pretending he was real and if he knew i'd found him i was already his next
09:53target don't forget to subscribe like and keep listening because this is where everything gets dangerous
10:01i couldn't breathe when i saw his face online masson varilla the name echoed like a death sentence in my
10:07head son of a mafia dome suspected in murders the kind of man who wasn't supposed to exist outside of
10:15crime dramas and yet he'd been in my headphones whispering threats asking about childhood memories laughing like
10:24a ghost who had nothing left to lose i told myself i cut him off burn everything delete the game trash the
10:33laptop start over but it was too late because mason varilla already knew where i lived it was raining the
10:41night he showed up not the kind of gentle drizzle that lulls you to sleep the kind that beats against
10:48windows like fists i thought i imagined the shadow at first a dark figure standing across the street
10:56half hidden under the street lamp my pulse hammered i pulled the curtain shut and then a knock on my
11:02door three sharp wraps that made the floorboard shake under my bare feet i stood frozen whispering to myself
11:10it's not him it can't be him but when i opened the door there he was the man whose voice had haunted
11:18my nights real solid taller than i expected rain sliding down his jaw mason gorilla you shouldn't
11:26have looked me up he said voice low and steady i gripped the doorframe my knees weak you shouldn't
11:34be here too late his eyes flicked past me scanning my apartment like he already owned it you invited me
11:42the second you stayed online that's not what i my voice cracked you wanted to see me he cut in now you
11:50do i should have slammed the door i should have screamed instead i stepped back like a fool letting
11:56him inside his presence swallowed the room whole broad shoulders black jacket dripping rain onto the
12:04floor eyes sharp enough to slice through bone i crossed my arms hiding the way my hands shook
12:11so what now you kill me tie up your loose end his jaw flexed he took a step closer if i wanted you dead
12:20you wouldn't have opened the door that sent a shiver down my spine for hours he didn't leave he sat in
12:27my kitchen like he belonged there peeling the label off a bottle of water answering my questions
12:33with silence finally i snapped why me why even talk to me in the first place his gaze pinned me because
12:42you got in where nobody else should and because you stayed something in his voice cracked on that last
12:50word and i hated myself for hearing it the tension grew unbearable every time i turned he was there
12:57watching me testing me i couldn't decide if i wanted to shove him out the door or beg him to stay we fought
13:05about everything you think this is a game he growled one night pacing my living room no i shot back
13:14i think you're hiding in one his eyes burned you don't know what you're talking about then tell me
13:20my voice rose hands clenched at my sides tell me what's so damn important that you're willing to
13:26terrify strangers online the air between us went deadly quiet mason stepped close enough that i could
13:33feel his breath because it's safer than letting anyone in he said voice raw i didn't know what to say
13:42my anger bled into silence and in that silence something shifted he leaned in just enough that
13:49the rain dripping from his jacket still clung to the air between us my heart thundered so loud it
13:55drowned out thought his hand hovered near my face not touching but close enough that i could feel the heat
14:02radiating off his skin his eyes locked on mine and for a second it felt inevitable the kiss the collapse
14:10the line crossed i parted my lips breath shaking and then he pulled back like the moment had never
14:18existed his jaw tightened he grabbed his jacket stormed to the door don't mistake proximity for
14:25permission he said without turning the door slammed so hard the walls rattled i stood alone in the silence
14:33chest aching lips trembling from the kiss that never happened i hated him for leaving i hated myself more
14:41for wanting him to stay and somewhere deep inside i knew this wasn't the end mason varela
14:48wasn't finished with me and god helped me neither was i with him don't forget to subscribe and like
14:55because the closer we get the deeper the knives cut mason didn't come back for three days three days of silence
15:03of staring at my phone like it might light up of swearing i'd block him the second he tried
15:10i lied to myself every hour of those three days said i was free said i didn't care said i didn't need
15:18the sound of his voice in my veins like a drug but the second his number lit up my screen at 2 17 a.m
15:25i answered before the first ring ended you miss me he said like it wasn't a question i swelled hard
15:32you're delusional and yet i leaned back in my chair heart slamming against my ribs letting his silence fill
15:40the cracks in me that week mason stopped hiding behind the game he started chewing up in the diner
15:47down the street at the bus stop across from my office never close enough to touch never far enough to
15:54ignore always watching always making sure i saw him i should have been terrified i was but the terror
16:03had edges of safety too like knowing the monster in the dark belonged to you until the night it all
16:10shattered he came in through the fire escape rain dripping off his jacket his eyes were sharp
16:17restless scanning every corner like my tiny apartment was a battlefield what's wrong i asked
16:25heart spiking he didn't answer he just paced muttering under his breath mason finally he snapped his gaze to
16:33mine you shouldn't be near me not now my throat tightened then why are you here his silence was worse
16:41than any threat his jaw flex fists curling he looked like a man standing on the edge of a cliff deciding
16:48whether to jump or drag me down with him because i can't stay away he said finally voice breaking that
16:56was the moment i knew i was already gone whatever this was obsession destruction love i was in too deep
17:04to climb out but the universe doesn't let people like mason love without blood on the floor
17:09two nights later i found out the truth i hadn't meant to overhear he'd taken a call on my balcony
17:17his voice low but sharp cutting through the rain i only heard fragments she's leverage use her to bait
17:25them out if she runs we enter i froze in the doorway hand over my mouth my blood went ice cold he wasn't
17:34protecting me he wasn't drawn to me i was a pawn collateral in a war i didn't even understand when
17:42he came back inside i forced my face blank my lungs burned with the effort of steady breaths he looked
17:49at me like he could see through every lie i'd ever told but this time i knew something he didn't you
17:56good he asked voice low i nodded yeah my heart was screaming now that night i lay awake next to him
18:05on the couch every muscle in my body weared tight his hand brushed mine once lingering like it meant
18:13something and i wanted to believe it did but the words i'd overheard were played like a gunshot in my
18:19head she's leverage if she runs we enter the next morning i slipped into the bathroom shut the door
18:27and pressed my forehead to the mirror i'm falling for a man who might kill me i whispered my reflection
18:34didn't flinch and that's when the tears came silent furious unstoppable by the time i walked back out
18:43mason was gone a note sat on the table scrawled in his sharp handwriting stay inside tonight don't ask
18:51why my hands shook as i held it the paper crumpled in my grip stay inside stay his leverage stay his pawn
19:01and i realized with a gut deep certainty whatever this thing between us was it was already breaking
19:07because love doesn't sound like a threat whispered on a balcony it sounds like a promise and mason varela
19:15had just broken his if you're still here hit subscribe and like because tonight the fire between them
19:23burns hotter than the lies holding them apart i couldn't unhear the words i caught on his balcony
19:29she's leverage if she runs we enter they rotted inside me like poison souring every glance
19:37every brush of his hand every stolen silence we shared and yet when mason came back the next night
19:44dripping rain onto my carpet and looking at me like i was the only anchor holding him to the earth
19:51my body betrayed me my chest clenched my pulse quickened my lips ached to speak his name i hated him
19:59i wanted him i hated that i wanted him why are you looking at me like that he asked voice low
20:06cautious i forced my face blank like what like you've already judged me guilty the air between
20:14us tightened my heart pounded he was too close close enough that the heat of him wrapped around me
20:20close enough that the truth pressed like a blade against my tongue maybe i wanted him to hear it maybe i
20:27i wanted to hurt him the way his betrayal had gutted me i heard you his brow furrowed what the call i
20:35whispered shaking now on the balcony i heard everything mason froze his jaw locked shoulders stiff eyes
20:45darkening with something i couldn't name fear rage regret you weren't supposed to you were using me my voice
20:54cracked raw with fury all of this me it was just leverage that's not don't lie to me the words
21:02ripped from my throat don't stand here and act like i'm anything more than a pawn in your goddamn mafia war
21:09for the first time since i'd met him mason looked shaken not by threats not by enemies not by danger
21:16by me his chest rose and fell hard his hands curling into fists before unclenching you think that's all
21:24this is he asked voice rough i laughed bitterly tears stinging my eyes don't i because that's what you
21:33said and i was stupid enough to believe he cut me off the only way he knew how he kissed me it wasn't soft
21:42it wasn't gentle it was fire and fury teeth and tongue the kind of kiss that tastes like both hunger and regret
21:51i shoved it on his chest but he pulled me closer swallowing my protests until they melted into the heat of him
21:58my fists meant to strike tangled in his shirt instead every nerve in my body lit up my knees buckled my breath
22:06shattered my heart betrayed me over and over with how hard it wanted this i hated him i wanted him
22:14i hated how much i wanted him when we finally broke apart gasping trembling mason's forehead rested against
22:22mine his voice shook like it had been torn from someplace deep i said those words he whispered but i didn't
22:31mean them you're not leverage you're not a pawn my tears burned hot on my cheeks then what am i mason
22:40tell me his jaw clenched his silence stretched too long and that was the answer wasn't it i shoved him
22:48back you can't even say it i'm trying to keep you alive his voice roared echoing off the walls do you get
22:56that every second you're near me you're a target every rival i've got would gut you just to watch me
23:03bleed i use those words because it's easier for them to believe you mean nothing the fury in his voice
23:10cracked something in me my own scream toward free ragged and broken but i'm not nothing am i the silence
23:18after was unbearable mason's chest heaved his eyes burned into mine like they held every unsaid word
23:27every forbidden truth but still his lips wouldn't format not i want you know you're mine not i love you
23:35nothing the tears wouldn't stop i shoved past him fists trembling heart splintering get out he didn't move
23:43i said get out my voice cracked before i do something stupid before i give you the rest of
23:50me when you've already broken what's left mason stood there frozen his jaw flexed his fists shook his
23:58silence screamed louder than words and then slowly like it cost him everything he turned at the door he
24:05paused his hand gripped the frame his voice was gravel when it finally came you think i don't want to
24:13say it his back was still to me you think it doesn't kill me every second i can't my breath caught but i
24:20didn't answer he exhaled hard then maybe it's better if i walk away before i do and just like that mason
24:29varela the man who had torn through my screens my walls my veins left the slam of the door echoed like a
24:36gunshot i collapsed against the couch sobbing into the silence he left behind my lips still burned from his kiss
24:45my heart still blood from his betrayal and for the first time since this nightmare began
24:51i realized something terrifying i wasn't afraid of mason varela i was afraid of a world without him
24:58don't forget to subscribe like and stay until the end because tonight heartbreak isn't the only thing
25:05that could kill them the hours after mason left were a blur i sat in the dark replaying every second
25:13his kiss still on my lips his silence still on my chest the way he couldn't say the words i begged to
25:20hear words that could have saved me words that could have made me believe but he didn't and i let him go
25:29by morning my apartment felt like a crime scene his jacket was still draped over the chair his scent
25:36lingered in the air smoke and danger and something softer he'd never admit every reminder was a knife
25:43twisting deeper so when the knock came my heart betrayed me it leapt it helped but it wasn't mason
25:52it was two men in black coats faces sharp eyes colder than winter miss lane the taller one asked his smile
25:59was thin wolfish you'll need to come with us fear crawled up my spine why my voice trembled the shorter
26:08one grimped because mason varela doesn't protect ponds anymore and his enemies know it before i could
26:15scream rough hands seized my arms dragging me into the hallway my knees scraped the floor my breath
26:22strangled in my throat mason i cried out useless desperate but mason wasn't there they shoved me into
26:30the back of a black suv the city blurred outside as the car roared through the rain-slicked streets
26:38i tasted blood on my lip from where they'd struck me my wrists ached from the zip ties where are you
26:45taking me neither answered the silence was worse than words the warehouse was colder than the rain outside
26:53steel beams loomed overhead shadows swallowing the corners they dragged me into the center threw me to
27:00the concrete floor and stood over me like executioners waiting for the bell and then i heard it a slow
27:08clap a voice smooth as oil cutting through the dark well well the hacker who stole my files and stole my
27:17enemies heart from the shadow stepped a man in a suit sharp enough to cut glass his smile was venom his
27:24eyes merciless dominic carver rival mafia dome mason's enemy and now my captor you thought you could hide
27:33behind him dominic circled me like a vulture sweetheart mason varela can't even protect himself
27:40why do you think he left you his words stabbed deeper than his men's fists ever could he didn't
27:46leave me i whispered even as the lie scraped my throat raw dominic smirked didn't he he crouched down
27:55close enough that i could see the cool calculation in his eyes your leverage and tonight i'll prove it
28:02the door burst open mason rain soaked breath ragged eyes burning like wildfire his gun was raised
28:11steady lethal let her go he snarled for one second relief flooded me so hard i almost collapsed he came
28:21back he didn't leave me to die but then dominic laughed a slow cool sound that filled the warehouse
28:28mason varela he drawled always predictable always bleeding for the wrong woman mason's gaze flicked to
28:36me for just a second the mask slipped and i saw it the terror the kilt the love he couldn't say are you
28:45hurt he asked voice shaking i nodded through tears just get me out of here but dominic wasn't done
28:53he snapped his fingers and suddenly guns cocked all around us mason was outnumbered kend one you can't
29:02save her dominic sneered so why don't you tell her the truth before you both die tell her why you never
29:09said it my chest constricted the truth mason's silence stretched too long his gun wavered his jaw
29:17clenched tell me i whispered tears spilling please dominic laughed again you see he can't because love
29:26is weakness and mason varela doesn't get to be weak the gunfire erupted before i could scream
29:32chaos screams shattered glass mason lunged firing dragging me behind a steel pillar as bullets tore
29:42through the air i covered my head shaking sobbing the sound of death ringing in my ears mason his arm
29:51wrapped around me his body shielding mine as concrete dust rained down i've got you he yelled his voice was
29:59hoarse desperate i won't let them take you but i saw it the red blooming on his shirt mason was hit
30:08he staggered but he didn't stop firing didn't stop fighting his eyes locked on mine through the smoke
30:15fierce and burning if i don't make it his voice cracked don't say that i screamed gripping his bloodied
30:23shirt don't you dare if i don't he grabbed my face forcing me to look at him his blood staining my
30:31skin you were never a leverage never a pawn you're the only thing that's ever felt real my breath broke
30:39then say it he swallowed hard his lips trembled but before the words could leave him another explosion of
30:47gunfire ripped through the air and the world went black when i woke the warehouse was silent smoke
30:55curled in the air bodies littered the floor mason was gone only his blood remained don't forget to
31:02subscribe like and stay tuned because what happens next will ruin you in the best way the warehouse was
31:10a graveyard i staggered through the smoke my knees slipping in blood my lungs choking on dust every
31:17step screamed mason's name every second without him hollowed me out like glass shattering inside my chest
31:26he was gone only the crimson trail across the concrete told me he'd been dragged out alive or barely
31:34and i swear to myself right there that i'd tear apart the entire city to find him
31:39days blurred hospitals alleys whispers on dark corners mason's name carried weight too dangerous too
31:48cursed nobody wanted to talk nobody wanted to help the girl who'd been stupid enough to love him
31:55but then the envelope came slipped under my door no name no return address just my trembling hands tearing
32:04it open inside a photo mason and chains kneeling his face bruised blood drying on his skin eyes half
32:15closed but still burning with fire and scrawled across the back of the photo in jagged black ink if you want
32:22him back come alone my hand shook so hard i almost dropped it my heart slammed against my ribs until i thought it
32:31might break it was a trap i knew it every instinct screamed at me to run but i couldn't because mason
32:39wasn't just a mafia heir anymore he wasn't just the dangerous man who pulled me into his storm he was mine
32:47and i would walk straight into hell for him the address led me to the docks midnight rain turning the
32:54board slick under my boots the world was quiet except for the lapping of black water against the pier
33:01then i saw them dominant carver's men and mason he was on his knees hands bound shirt soaked in blood
33:10his face lifted when i stepped into the light and for the first time since the warehouse his eyes locked on
33:17mine they were desperate wild apologizing without words don't he rasped his voice was hoarse broken
33:27you shouldn't be here a figure stepped forward dominic himself his smile was poison you're braver than
33:35i thought sweetheart he said circling me like a shark or maybe just stupid i clenched my fists forcing
33:42my voice not to shake let him go this is between you and me dominic's laugh echoed over the water
33:50between us you were never a player girl you're just the knife i'll use to cut him he yanked mason's head
33:57back pressing a gun to his temple and i swear my soul split in two stop my scream tore through the night
34:05my legs moved without thought carrying me closer even though every gun in that dock turned on me
34:11dominic's smirk widened then make me stop and he tossed something at my feet a gun cold heavy the
34:21metal gleamed under the rain prove your loyalty dominic said shoot him and maybe i'll let you live
34:28time froze the world narrowed to mason's face his bloodied lips his eyes pleading not for himself but
34:36for me don't he whispered his voice cracked raw don't let him turn you into me my hands shook so
34:45violently the gun almost slipped i could kill mason or i could die with him no third option no miracle
34:54just hell either way tears blurred my vision i raised the gun not at mason but at dominic
35:01his men shouted guns snapping up safeties clicking mason's eyes widened no my finger tightened on the
35:09trigger and in that breathless trembling second i whispered the only truth i had left i love you
35:18the shot rang out but i didn't know who fired first the world exploded in gunfire and screams and the crack
35:26of bullets slicing air and bone mason munched dominic roared men dropped like shadows in the rain
35:34i don't even remember pulling the trigger again all i remember is the chaos the blood the way mason's
35:41hands grabbed mine in the storm trying to drag me out then the blinding flash the sound of a gun
35:47pressed to my head dominic's voice low and final in my ear game over
