00:46holds my hand just a little longer sarah we're about to meet our baby shaking with pain but i
00:52still manage a smile for him then a nurse walks in carrying a syringe i assume it is the epidural
00:57but dante lets go of my hand he steps back the needle pierces my skin and in that sliver of
01:02silence i hear him murmur to the nurse in italian aggiusta il dosamengio deve resistere finque
01:07sofia non parterta i stare at him he doesn't meet my eyes he just glances down at his watch
01:13sofia's already at 6 centimeters siamo a 6 centimetri basta ancora due ore
01:18i want to scream i want to claw his face off but the drug is already flooding my veins
01:23it isn't anesthesia it is a tocolytic a contraction suppressant the violent clenching in my belly is
01:28seized by an invisible fist and crushed into silence stopped dead they are forcing my child
01:33not to be born i am wheeled into the basement iron rings still jut from the walls the concrete
01:38floor is stained in patches so dark they are almost black this has been the leonetti family's
01:42dungeon dante's sister julia stands in the doorway a compact beretta is tucked into her waistband
01:48don't take it personal sofia is carrying marco's posthumous child you know the leonetti rule
01:53il primo sangue la prima voce first blood first voice the firstborn son's bloodline takes priority
01:57over everything don enzo has spoken marco's child is the legitimate heir she glanced at my belly
02:02if your baby comes first the cappy out there will use it as abnutrition claim dante's bloodline has a
02:07stronger claim to succession they already resent him for running the family in marco's place give them
02:12one more excuse and the whole house tears itself apart so sofia's child has to arrive first then

02:28barrel against my cheek light little pats the drug's good for another three hours sofia's already in the
02:34delivery room sit tight once her baby's out you can push to your heart's content she stands and turns
02:41to the soldado at the door watch her if she screams shut her up the door closes the basement

02:53hospital gown spreading in a slow dark bloom beneath me my phone was confiscated the moment i arrived at
02:58the clinic dante said the signal interfered with the fetal monitors they are afraid i'll contact the
03:02outside i curl onto my side and try to breathe all i can see is the look in dante's eyes
03:07just before he
03:07stepped back cold calculating he wasn't looking at his wife he was looking at an inconvenience that needed to
03:14be shelved three months ago his older brother marco died officially it was a car accident
03:20a maserati on the belt parkway punched through the guardrail and rolled into jamaica bay the medical
03:25examiner's report listed a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit but marco didn't drink
03:29anyone in this life knows that he left behind a widow three months pregnant the funeral was held in
03:35the family chapel don enzo the iron-fisted patriarch of the leonetti dynasty wept in public for the first
03:40time in living memory he gripped sofia's hand il sangue tutto blood is everything marco will not
03:45have died for nothing the firstborn heir's bloodline must not be broken then he turned to look at dante
03:50i didn't understand that look at the time i understand it now he was telling his second son

04:00know your place i'd actually stepped forward to comfort him father don't worry dante and i will hold
04:06this family together don enzo looked at me once it turns out that from that very moment my child

04:50edges when the door suddenly opens not julia not the soldado it is dr luca ferrara the leonetti
04:56family's private physician a man who has served don enzo for 30 years he sees me and every drop of
05:01color drains from his face mrs leonelli what are you doing down here dante told me you were resting

05:34corridor is empty tonight for sophia's delivery every medical resource has been redirected to the
05:39third floor even the soldati have been pulled up to stand guard outside the delivery suite in this

06:46a bare room naked power outlets on the walls drag mark scored into the floor where heavy equipment

07:53dr ferrara doesn't move he looks at julia then at me then back at julia and slowly heavily
08:01understanding settles over his face this isn't an oversight it isn't a coincidence it has been
08:06arranged but dr ferrara still turns and charges into the adjacent medical supply room tearing open
08:11cabinets empty every last one not even basic chemostats not even gauze where are the drugs
08:20the coagulants the oxytocin a nurse whispers everything was sent to the third floor mr leonelli's

10:14the stairwell no he fights them every step shouting back over his shoulder mrs leonetti use the heel of
10:21your man press on the top of the uterus and push downward help the contractions stay on your left side

10:32until it is gone julia shuts the door to the supply room turns to me pulls out her phone and
10:38places a video
10:44call dante sarah's about to deliver don't you want to see dante's face appears on the screen he is
10:50standing outside the third floor delivery suite behind him medical staff move in urgent blurs one hand
10:56keeps turning the signet ring on his thumb the ring every leonetti man receives when he comes of age
11:02sarah non fare senane don't make a scene
11:07sofia's in trouble fetal heart rate is dropping
11:11look at sarah she's lost so much blood doesn't look good does it
11:14dante glances at the screen his eyes flick away almost immediately
11:19tell her to wait once sofia delivers the doctors will come down
11:28the call ends hear that in dante's heart sofia and that baby come first you're just how did i put
11:35it
11:35a vessel once you've served your purpose you have no value
11:41i close my eyes i stop looking at her my hand creeps behind my back fingers finding the button
11:47size device sewn into the lining of my undergarment papa gave it to me
11:50sarah the leonetzis are not what they seem these people will eat you alive
11:54if anything goes wrong press this i'd laughed at him then
11:59dante is good to me god what a fool i was i work my nail under the protective cover and
12:04press down
12:04no sound no light but i know the gps beacon and emergency pulse have been transmitted
12:10papa promised me press that button and someone will come within 30 minutes
12:14but 30 minutes can my baby last 30 minutes my consciousness dims sliding in and out like a bad signal
12:20julia sits in a chair sipping espresso every now and then she glances up at me like i am something
12:25mildly unpleasant she's been asked to keep an eye on sarah tell me why did you marry into this family
12:30in the first place dante's pretty face or the leonati name think about it a nobody a girl from
12:37nowhere what made you think you deserve to be called a leonati i say nothing i just keep doing
12:44what dr ferrara told me heel of the palm against the top of the uterus push downward left side stay
12:50on your left side even if it is hopeless if you hadn't gotten pregnant first dante would never have
12:56married you you think don enzo would have let a nobody into this house that baby in your belly that
13:00was your ticket in nothing else the plan was simple you give dante an air carry on his branch of
13:06the bloodline and at least you'd have some use then marco died and everything changed what don enzo
13:13needs now is the firstborn air not what's in your belly
13:19so know your place sera you were never the main character in this family
13:23once sofia delivers you sign the annulment papers take the money and walk away start over far away from
13:32this life it could be worse does dante know you talk to me like this julia smiles of course
13:40he's the one who sent me said you're stubborn said he was worried you'd do something foolish
13:46he asked me to help you see reality a spasm rips through my abdomen the worst yet the drug has
13:52burned off completely the baby is coming i can't hold it in julia steps back kick come what a mess
14:04someone come look at her a nurse creeps in she's fully dilated i can see the head crowning but
14:11there's too much blood loss if she delivers like this both she and the baby will no medication
14:15there's nothing i can do
14:20clean this up she gives her orders and walks upstairs without looking back
14:24not once the nurse is too frightened to argue she kneels between my legs and tries to help me dilate
14:30with her bare hands but i have nothing left to push with too much blood gone no strength the baby
14:36is stuck can't go back up can't come down seconds crawl past each one in eternity of agony then from
14:42the corridor a sudden thunder of footsteps many boots hitting concrete in unison and the sharp
14:48metallic snap of charging handles being racked the nurse's face drains of color the door explodes inward
14:53a black clad squad pours through the breach compact ak pattern rifles at the shoulder tactical vests
14:58unmarked no badges no insignia no agency lettering this isn't law enforcement this is a private army
15:06the soldati are down the man at the point of entry reaches up and pulls off his tactical helmet
15:11revealing a face cut from hard slavic angles high cheekbones pale eyes a jaw like the edge of a blade
15:16he sees me and his eyes go red they've called me that since i was a little girl i reach
15:24for him
15:25no sound will come the man doesn't even glance at her
15:35he gathers me into his arms and barks over his shoulder sweep the building get the trauma team in
15:41every leononi in this facility disarm and detain yes the men in black move like a machine the nurse
15:47tries to bolt a hand catches her shoulder and presses the flat to the ground you can't do this

16:56face in the last flicker of consciousness i hear a doctor shout the baby the baby has no heartbeat
17:03then darkness i don't know how long i am under when my eyes open i am staring at an unfamiliar
17:09ceiling
17:09the air smells of antiseptic she's awake familiar faces crowd around the bed papa's personal guards
17:17men who have been part of my world for as long as i can remember my voice is wrecked a
17:22stranger's
17:23rasp where's my baby the room goes silent a terrible ringing silence seconds pass then the man standing at
17:30the foot of the bed turns slowly to face me my father victor volkov they call him the old wolf
17:36from
17:37brighton beach to boston every branch of the east coast brought the answers to him but the man who
17:41makes the entire eastern seaboard tremble is gone the person standing before me is just a father a
17:46father who has been broken he walks to the bed and sits on the edge takes my hand i look
17:54into his
17:54bloodshot eyes and i already know she's gone isn't she platenal abduction massive hemorrhage
18:02the baby was deprived of oxygen for too long he pauses the doctors did everything they could

19:20own plastic surgeon works through the night reshaping the facial features injecting embalming
19:25fluid and blood simulation compounds postpartum hemorrhage markers are meticulously replicated
19:29the waxy pallor the blood-soaked sheets between the legs the slack deflated abdomen of a woman who
19:35has just delivered then a medical examiner at the ocme the office of the chief medical examiner is paid
19:40to sign the death certificate in this world making someone disappear or making someone dead is a phone call
19:45and a wire transfer the body is delivered to the clinic's basement cold storage indistinguishable
19:51from the real thing i sit in the surveillance room of a safe house three blocks away watching the
19:55monitors our people wired the clinic months ago papa insisted on at the moment i became pregnant at the
20:01time i told him he was being paranoid papa sits beside me now holding my hand any regrets about what
20:09marrying him i think about it no at least now i've seen these people for what they really are
20:14on the screen dante finally emerges from the third floor delivery suite he is carrying a swaddled infant
20:20the joy on his face is unmistakable but it isn't the joy of a new father it is the joy
20:25of a man who has
20:26won everything has gone according to plan sophia has safely delivered marco's posthumous son the first
20:32born heir has arrived and dante's position as acting head of the family is for the moment secure sophia is
20:38wheeled out on a gurney pale but beaming don enzo hobbles over on his cane trembling and peers down
20:43at the baby tears stream down the old man's face he keeps repeating it marco your son is here the
20:51leonetti bloodline is unbroken a crowd gathers around the child laughter congratulations embraces
20:59no one asks about me no one remembers that another woman has been in labor fighting for her life and
21:03losing until a nurse says quietly mr leonetti your wife dante frowns as if reminded of a chore

21:18heads for the elevator julia hurries after him i'll come with you they step in one after the other
21:23the doors close the surveillance feed switches to the first floor dr ferrara is standing outside the
21:30empty operating room his back against the wall his face is the color of ash he sees dante and snaps
21:36upright mr leonetti where's my wife dr ferrara opens his mouth he just turns his body in points
21:42toward the basement cold storage the color drains from dante's face what do you mean mrs leonelli
21:48hemorrhage we couldn't dr ferrara's head drops the baby didn't make it either the air turns to stone

22:10disappeared i tried everything dante seizes him by the collar and hauls him up what did you just say
22:16dr ferrara nods tears falling i'm sorry dante releases him staggers back two steps and hits the wall
22:23that's not possible this morning she was fine dante calm down let me go look she walks briskly to the
22:31cold storage unit and pulls open the door the body inside lies with an expression that is peaceful and
22:36agonized at once the white sheet beneath it is drenched in blood julia stares for several seconds
22:41then she claps a hand over her mouth spins around and rushes out it's real dante pushes past her and
22:47goes in the surveillance camera captures him standing in front of the storage drawer perfectly
22:52still for so long that julia grows frightened and goes in after him dante he raises his fist and drives
