00:02Thanksgiving night was the last calm moment I remembered I tasted black truffle on my tongue
00:08a holiday tart Grayson insisted I try and then everything blurred the world tilted my limbs went
00:14numb and consciousness slipped out of my hands like water through broken glass
00:25when I woke both of my arms were broken the pain sharp and white hot and I was lying somewhere
00:31deep inside the Sierra Nevada wilderness my fiance handed my private jet to his assistant like it
00:41was a party favor I didn't even pause to process the insult my fingers were dialing the FAA emergency
00:51line before the outrage fully settled in my chest and within minutes they intercepted her midair
00:57grounding the plane at the nearest federal airfield when Grayson Whitmore found out he didn't look
01:04shocked he didn't look guilty either he looked irritated at me not her Jesus Celeste he sighed
01:12stroked his forehead as if I were the unreasonable one Mia just wanted to fly home for Thanksgiving
01:17and make a good impression it's not that deep she's still being held by federal officers would
01:23you please go down there and explain it was a misunderstanding they're not going to prosecute
01:27a girl for wanting to feel important sometimes I wondered whether he genuinely believed the bullshit
01:32he said or if he simply thought I was too soft or too in love to call him on it
01:36Grayson this isn't about
01:39feeling important this is about flying a multi-million dollar aircraft without a pilot's license if he was
01:48showing off and people who break federal aviation law should face the consequences even if they flutter
01:54their eyelashes at you he let out a long theatrical exhale the kind meant to signal I was being impossible
02:00before turning away I'll have Whitmore Enterprises legal department deal with it you never know how to pick your
02:12battles the cold earth pressing through my skin like a second heartbeat a red glow washed over me
02:18the beam of an infrared camera before Grayson's voice followed low and venomous you know Mia was detained
02:24for 48 hours because of your little tantrum he asked his tone dangerously calm she was terrified so
02:31you can fly a plane big deal let's see what other impressive skills you have think you can
02:37walk out of here naked and make it home my vision shook but I forced my good fingers what remained
02:43of them to reach the side of my AR tactical glasses the emergency signal was faint but it was there
02:49I pressed the button my voice cutting through the wind in a low steady rasp get here in 30 minutes
02:56and I will owe you everything Celeste Montgomery you're going to apologize to Mia right now
03:02and say out loud that you're nothing but a worthless bitch otherwise you can rot out here in the Sierra
03:07Nevada until the toxins in the air finish you off or until something with fangs does Mia Carrington
03:13nestled comfortably against his chest as if this were some sick holiday movie scene instead of an
03:18attempted murder broadcast to criminals slid into the frame Celeste honey your arms are broken maybe just
03:25give in a little if you apologize I'll ask Gray to pull you out of here Grayson pulled her in
03:31and
03:31kissed her the glow of the screen sharpening the cruelty in his eyes then he lifted the drone controller
03:36sinking our feed to a dark net live stream packed with faceless buyers who treated human suffering like
03:42a sport ladies and gentlemen your Thanksgiving special begins now Celeste Montgomery daughter of old
03:50money royalty former federal wilderness survival specialist we'll attempt to cross the Sierra Nevada
03:55with no gear no clothes and two broken arms place your bets on how long she'll last one thousand
04:02dollars per minute no upper limit you heard the crowd let's give our patrons what they paid for
04:16he zoomed the camera and obscenely close letting the lens trace the line of my collarbone drift down the
04:22bruises on my ribs hesitate over every inch of exposed skin his greed felt physical like oily
04:28fingers crawling over me you always said people should pay the price for their mistakes Celeste now
04:34look at you your arms are useless you can't even dress yourself tell me is this enough of a consequence
04:40to help you remember how much you hurt Mia I was naked under the floodlight of the drone stripped not
04:45only of clothing but of privacy dignity and safety I pressed my forearms tight against my chest desperate to shield
04:52whatever fragments of myself I could still claim their laughter oozed into my ears I felt vile burn into the
05:01back of my throat my broken bones scraped against the torn flesh of my arms and a cold sweat spread
05:07down
05:08my spine all this because I reported Mia's illegal flight for five years I helped build Whitmore Enterprises
05:15from the ground up for five years I used Montgomery resources and old money leverage to clear his path
05:21fight off his competitors and shield him from the consequences of his own incompetence I made him
05:26into something I took a scholarship kid with nothing but ambition and turned him into a rising star and now
05:33that he thought my family was losing influence now that he believed he no longer needed me he stripped
05:38me threw me into the wilderness and broadcasted my suffering to the highest bitter Grayson laughed
05:44again loud cruel almost giddy with the power he thought he held in that moment I realized he had never
05:51loved me
05:51he had only loved the way I made him feel powerful and now he wanted to prove he could destroy
05:56me just as
05:57easily make sure every pain creep in that channel has the time of their lives it's Thanksgiving give the
06:03boss is something to be thankful for here's the deal Celeste transfer 10% of Montgomery Global

06:28she's always acting like I'm not good enough to fly the g650 that she thinks I'm just some gold digging
06:34flight attendant
06:34you've been too busy closing that Alaska pipeline deal to finish your pilot's license
06:38too busy closing deals I almost laughed even as the aphrodisiac set my bloodstream on fire
06:44too busy riding Grayson's lap in the Whitmore boardroom I collapsed against the rotting pine needles every nerve
06:51screaming blood frozen scarlet icicles on my forearms where the fall had snapped both bones Grayson Whitmore
06:57you make me sick for one heartbeat the mask slipped and I saw the same kid who used to sneak
07:12me into
07:12Met Gallus and promised me the world then Mia whispered something and the mask slammed back down
07:18harder cooler Celeste you can't just throw away five years unless
07:26you already have some side piece lined up some Wall Street wolf waiting in a Park Avenue penthouse
07:38Montgomery Global stock is tanking faster than SPS Celeste you're nothing without me you want to call
07:44the wedding fine when the feds freeze every offshore account your grandfather buried in the Caymans
07:50get that drone in her face give the subscribers the money shot 4k night vision the works I threw up
07:58a
07:58broken arm to shield myself then remembered I was naked underneath the ruins of a $10,000 gown
08:03shame burned hotter than the chemical fire in my veins I curled into a ball slid another foot down the
08:09ice slick slope and nearly pitched into the ravine somewhere below timber wolves started howling real
08:16ones not metaphors Celeste honey just sign the transfer it's only money let Grayson cool off we'll
08:22airlift you out get you a spa day at Mirval pretend this never happened a second drone swooped in
08:26mechanical claw gripping a tablet displaying the share transfer agreement it hovered six inches from my nose
08:33sign or freeze your choice
08:44something slithered over my cheek centipede six inches long Rocky Mountain paranoia venom it crawled into my
08:51ear the pain was so bright I almost welcomed it then gravity took over again I clawed at frozen granite
08:58fingernails snapping and slid closer to the poison ivage oak trap where rattlesnakes denned for winter
09:05keep talking tough princess ten more feet and you're in the viper pit let's see that harbor
09:10mountain negotiate with diamond eyes you're not the Montgomery heiress anymore Celeste Grayson says if
09:15you sign and apologize live admit you framed me for cooking the books tried to send an innocent
09:19girl to federal prison he'll call the chopper I'll even forgive you for that SEC subpoena you paid for
09:24you vicious bitch trying to lock Mia up what about her little sister who needs chemo
09:33the first drone released a glass ampule it shattered at my feet in a hiss of white vapor
09:39the snow around my bare feet melted into black sludge military-grade corrosives flesh on my calf
09:46bubbled like acid on steak I screamed until my throat tore scared yet Celeste apologize to Mia now or the
09:57next one goes in your face I dragged myself an inch uphill blood painting the snow red the metallic
10:04scent drew every leech tick and beetle in a five-mile radius they burrowed under what was left of my
10:10dress I
10:11couldn't swap them off for the first time in 28 years of boardrooms bailouts and Forbes covers
10:18Celeste Montgomery was out of moves I lifted my head to the drone lens to the man who once swore
10:24he'd
10:24burn the world before he let me get hurt Grayson when I get out of here and I will I'm
10:32going to take
10:33everything then the centipede in my ear released its venom the ravine rushed up to swallow me and the
10:40last thing I heard was Mia laughing like she'd already want him everything bled crimson blood mud the
10:51strobing red of the drones emergency LEDs I couldn't tell where one ended and the other began my pulse
10:58hammered so loud I barely heard the dark net chat lose its collective mind even Grayson's executive
11:06assistant started sweating bullets the guy had buried bodies for Whitmore Enterprises in three
11:11continents but live streaming a billionaire heiress getting eaten by wolves apparently crossed a line
11:17mr. Whitmore sir Celeste looks half dead already heart rates crashing on the biometric feed she's not
11:24dying girls like Celeste don't die they just get humbled if she hadn't spent the last five years
11:32trying to frame Mia for securities fraud maybe I'd have gone easy tonight's just a friendly reminder
11:45I force my head up locked eyes with the drones cold lens and let every ounce of Montgomery steel pour
11:51into my glare I did nothing wrong why the hell should I hand over 10% of the company my
11:56great-grandfather
11:57built from steel mills in Pittsburgh just because some trust fund psycho wants to flex bugs please
12:04I'd spent summers tagging grizzlies with federal wildlife teams and catmine before I could legally drink
12:09this was just another Tuesday in hell with everything I had left I rolled onto my back and dragged myself
12:15across the jagged shale rocks tore fresh gashes across my shoulder blades but the pain was a blessing
12:21it scraped off half the leeches and centipedes burrowed into my skin blood mixed with snow into pink slush
12:27yet somewhere in the haze I spotted it a cluster of wild sagebrush glowing faintly under the drones floodlight
12:33the same plant rangers in Denali square by crushed leaves mass blood scent for exactly 11 minutes I take six
12:41lest Montgomery have you no shame beg right now or the next thing coming down that ravine won't be bugs
12:50you never plan to let me walk out of here Grayson dead or broken you decided the second you fight
13:01the champagne
13:02oh my god Celeste what are you doing as I clawed the sagebrush closer bit the stem until bitter
13:09juice flooded my mouth then smeared the pulp across every bleeding wound the alkaloids hit my bloodstream
13:15like ice water numbed the nerve endings killed the scent trail temporary sure but temporary was all I
13:21needed Mia always said you were a snake guess she's right you're trying to fake a suicide pin it on
13:27me
13:28ruin Whitmore Enterprises on Black Friday weekend classic Celeste even half naked in a blizzard
13:34you're still scheming five years Grayson five years I cleaned up your messes quieted the SC buried the
13:42insider trading rumors paid off that flight attendant you knocked up in Vegas without Montgomery Capital
13:49you'd be still slinging dime bags outside Yale for one heartbeat the mask slipped again something
14:00wrong flickered behind those Wall Street eyes guilt maybe or the ghost of the boy who used to sneak
14:04me onto the roof of the Met to watch July 4th fireworks then Mia whispered poison in his ear and
14:11the mask
14:11hardened into granite this chick's got nine lives boss thought she was done 10 minutes ago
14:18then let's burn through the rest I want to see how long that Montgomery pride lasts when the wolves
14:25start chewing Celeste sweetie don't make the wolves angry you're screaming loud enough to wake every
14:32predator from here to Glaciers National Park when you tried to send Mia to federal prison for cooking the books
14:38you cooked up yourself did you warn her open the speakers the drones pay system blasted a recorded
14:44alpha wolf snarl at 180 decibels enough to rattle bones every tree around me exploded with movement
14:51branches snapped snow cascaded the real pack answered the call I froze every muscle seizing pain from my
14:59compound fractures the acid burn on my calf the centipede venom none of it compared to the primal terror of
15:05glowing eyes
15:06circling in the dark eight maybe ten sets timber wolves coastal giants the kind that take down moves for
15:12fun one stepped into the floodlight above me silver gray 200 pounds of pure hunger its breath deemed in the
15:19sub-zero air I heard the crunch of its paws below rumble in its chest Grayson wanted me shredded on
15:27a camera
15:27survival instinct kicked harder than any drug I eased backward inch by inch
15:35running now princess where's all that billionaire backbone hide and seek with a wolf pack how's that
15:43for a thanksgiving tradition green eyes multiplied in the darkness fangs caught the light like switch
15:49blades last chance Celeste kneel apologize to Mia on stream I'll hit the ultrasonic repellent keep fighting

31:19grace and whitmore's mother

31:37oh and nathan make sure grayson gets the morning paper in his cell
31:42Front page. Above the fold. Whitmore Enterpurse's liquidated assets. To Montgomery heiress.
31:50I want him to read it while he eats his Thanksgiving leftovers. Cold.
31:54Already on the warden's desk, ma'am.
31:57Day three. I finally had them escort Mrs. Whitmore to the East Parlor.
32:05Celeste.
32:06Thank God. Celeste, my son is an idiot.
32:11A monster. Whatever you want to call him.
32:15But he's still my only child.
32:18I'm begging you look at what we meant to each other once.
32:22Find it in your heart.
32:24Auntie? You seem confused.
32:28Your son didn't break my heart.
32:30He committed felony kidnapping and attempted murder.
32:33You want mercy? File an appeal with the First Circuit.
32:40Let me refresh your memory.
32:42Three years ago your heart was failing.
32:45Grayson couldn't scrape together 30 grand.
32:47I sold my mother's watch, the one she wore the day she died, so you could have the best surgeon
32:52in Boston.
32:54You woke up, took my hand, and told me to stay out of men's business.
33:01You mistook kindness for weakness.
33:04You taught your son the same mistake.
33:07Now you're both learning the price.
33:35Now you're both learning the price.
33:48Celeste wouldn't.
33:51She loved me.
33:53There's more.
33:55Montgomery Legal just added commercial fraud to the indictment.
34:00They have your original pitch decks.
34:02Every inflated revenue number, every fake vendor contract you used to impress her,
34:07back when you thought she was just a girl with a trust fund.
34:24They're saying he tried to hang himself with his jumpsuit.
34:28Didn't get far.
34:30Let him live long enough to watch every cent he ever touched come home to me.
34:38Tell Legal to drop the papers.
34:40I'm taking the coroner office January 1st.
34:44And schedule a board meeting.
34:46It's time the world remembered what happens when you bet against a Montgomery.
34:57The trial had been a coronation in reverse.
35:00Every Montgomery lawyer in a 500-mile radius showed up in Zegna and vengeance.
35:05Evidence stacked higher than the jury's coffee cups.
35:07His public defender tried the crime of passion angle.
35:10Temporary insanity.
35:12Toxic masculinity.
35:13Whatever buzzword might shave off a decade.
35:15It was like watching a toddler argue with a tsunami.
35:18It's all going according to plan.
35:21Your honor.
35:22New evidence.
35:29Gray, Celeste found the offshore transfers.
35:32What do I do?
35:33Let her bark.
35:34I'll just say she's jealous and trying to tank your career.
35:37Keep moving the money.
35:38Once we push her out, Whitmore Enterprises is yours.
35:41Push her out.
35:42Whitmore Enterprises is yours.
35:54Backstabbing bitch!
35:55You were a stepping stone, Grayson.
35:58A very expensive one.
36:00I recorded everything in case you ever forgot who held the leash.
36:06He finally understood.
36:08He'd never been the king.
36:09He'd been the pawn she kept in the front row in case the queen decided to sacrifice something.
36:15The judge didn't even look up from his notes.
36:18Mia Carrington, 15 years, federal penitentiary, credit for cooperation.
36:24Grayson Whitmore, kidnapping, attempted murder, commercial fraud, conspiracy.

36:43I'm sorry.
36:44I'm sorry.
36:45I'm sorry.
36:47I'm sorry.
36:48Grayson's apology floated behind us, thin and worthless as the paper jumpsuit he'd wear for the rest of his life.
37:10You just beat my kill ratio, ma'am.
37:12The Air Force is gonna cry.
37:14Hands are better than ever.
37:15Book the Gulfstream, G800.
37:18We're doing the globe run.
37:20Pole to pole, 90 hours, no stops.
37:26Swallowed three competitors before breakfast and still found time to get type rated in everything with wings.
37:32You wasn't the girl who used to wait up with soup anymore.
37:35I was Celeste Montgomery, CEO-in-waiting.
37:38Heir to an empire that made nations blink.
37:45Prison mail.
37:46Whitmore.
37:48Tenth won this month.
37:49Summary?
37:50Same sob story.
37:52He is sorry.
37:52Prays every night.
37:53Misses the old days.
37:54Blames me, huh?
37:56Says if she hadn't existed, we'd be married by now.
37:59Wants one visit.
38:00Just one.
38:02Tell Leavenworth we're done forwarding mail.
38:05Grayson Whitmore died on that mountain as far as I'm concerned.
38:10Cremate the rest.
38:11Yes, ma'am.
38:17Are you ready to face a new storm at 41,000 feet?
38:21Like making a cup of coffee?
38:22Yep.
38:24Just like the coffee you made every day.
38:27I didn't slow down.
38:28I didn't need to.
38:31I was flying to everything.
38:34I was flying to everything.
