Transcript
00:00I was pregnant, with my father's best friend's child, I was carrying my father's best friend's baby, not Victor's at
00:07least, that is what I thought then, it started two months ago, my name is Ella Whitley, on a rainy
00:13night, Anthony, my boyfriend of three years, threw all my things out of the apartment, his new girlfriend Vivian stood
00:20in the doorway wearing my jimmy chews, stop bothering me, we're done, you're nothing to me, when did you fall
00:27for someone else?
00:30go ask your daddy for money, I'd spent everything on Anthony, the apartment was fine, the wool rug, the Dyson,
00:38all mine, but he and Vivian didn't hesitate, one suitcase, a few clothes, that was it, the rain was cold,
00:45I had no umbrella, I was soaked and shaking, I called my father Alexander, it took several tries, when he
00:52finally picked up, I heard music, women laughing, some party, his voice was dad, baby, what's wrong?
00:58Anthony threw me out, he said something, probably flirting with whoever was beside him, sweetheart, find a hotel, use my
01:06card, I can't get away right now, since mom died, there had been a parade of women, I never kept
01:11track, I waited hoping he'd help, he said, I am busy and hung up, three men came out of the
01:17alley, hats pulled low, one blocked my path,
01:24hey, got a light?
01:26I didn't smoke, then give us something else, they came up behind me and snatched my bag, my phone was
01:35inside, I screamed, a hand clamped over my mouth, they dug through my bag, wallet, phone, the screen lit up,
01:43he jabbed at it a few times, I don't know what he pressed,
01:46the phone let out a sharp, piercing alarm, an emergency signal, he flinched, threw it, it skidded across the wet
01:53pavement, across the city, lower Manhattan, an abandoned warehouse,
01:58Victor Moretti was holding a man's head underwater in a bucket of ice, his boots stood in a puddle of
02:03blood on the concrete floor, water torture, old mob tradition, Victor had just led his crew to victory,
02:09he was expressionless, covered in blood, his shirt clung to his body, sleeves rolled up, soaked dark red, then his
02:17phone buzzed, he nodded to one of his men, released his grip, and pulled out the phone,
02:21an auto sent emergency text, sender, Ellie, he stared at it for three seconds, then he turned and walked out,
02:29sir, what do we do with him?
02:31no answer, he was already at the door, he got into the black Pagani parked in the alley, the engine
02:36roared like something alive,
02:38he'd never driven this fast, he called the number, Ellie, as he drove straight to voicemail,
02:43the number you have dialed is not in service, he tried Alexander, no answer,
02:56damn it, he knew, Alexander was busy, too busy to notice his daughter's OCS, Victor floored it, the car cut
03:03through the rain,
03:04he made it in time, he found me being dragged into an alley by all three of them, the headlights
03:09hit us,
03:10blinding, the men let go and squinted at the light, the door opened, Victor stepped out, rain soaked through him,
03:16he walked toward us, his face was stone, he looked at me, then at the three men,
03:20hey brother, we were here first, Victor didn't look at him, he said my name,
03:25Ellie,
03:26only Victor called me that, my father called me Ella, like a stranger's name, Victor said it differently,
03:32Ellie came from somewhere deep in his throat, low, short, one of the men decided to push back,
03:37who the hell do you think, Victor turned, the headlights caught his face, rain dripped from his jaw,
03:42Moretti, Mr. Moretti,
03:45the man's hand froze in midair, his eyes went wide, the man's voice collapsed by threat to tremble,
03:51I'm sorry sir, we didn't do anything, please,
03:53Victor wasn't listening, he was looking at me,
03:57Get in the car,
03:57I got in, the man kept apologizing behind us, one word after another, Victor shut the door,
04:03the engine swallowed everything else,
04:05silence inside the car, the heat was on full, I was still cold, my wet dress clung to my skin,
04:11water ran from my hair down my neck and into my collar,
04:14did my father send you, no answer, where is he, still at the party,
04:19Victor reached into the side pocket, and tossed a pack of tissues onto my lap,
04:23casual, almost rough,
04:24Dry off, you'll get sick,
04:27Not concern, a command, I pulled out a tissue and started on my face,
04:31it soaked through immediately, falling apart in my fingers,
04:34then I saw his arm, the edges of the tear were dark red,
04:38blood ran down his forearm and dripped onto the steering wheel, onto his trousers,
04:42You're bleeding,
04:42He didn't look, just kept his eyes on the road, the wipers swept back and forth,
04:47Yeah,
04:49Shouldn't you do something?
04:50Help me clean it.
04:52I hesitated, then I pulled a few clean tissues and leaned across to press them against his arm,
04:57the moment the tissue touched his skin, his muscle tensed, he didn't pull away,
05:01I started at the elbow, the blood was warm, thinned by rain, I worked upward,
05:06the tissue soaked through fast, then my fingers touched skin, the tissue slipped,
05:10my fingertips pressed against his arm, bare skin hard and burning hot, like heated stone,
05:16his wet shirt was still plastered to his shoulder, the fabric was thin, the lines of his body were
05:21very clear, my face went warm, my heart rate jumped, not from the heat, I kept going, across
05:27his upper arm, down the inner side, the muscle there was sharper, a vein traced faintly beneath
05:32the surface, my fingers slipped lower, further in,
05:35Ellie, it's dry there, I stopped, sorry, I pulled back, he didn't respond, he released my hand and
05:42returned to the wheel, I sat back, I bawled the wet tissue in my palm, pulp squeezed through my fingers,
05:48you're a busy man, how did you have time to come get me,
05:52genuine curiosity, Victor Moretti, head of New York's largest Italian crime family,
05:56my father had mentioned his name at dinner more than once, with the kind of respect men reserve
06:00for men they fear, his schedule made the mayor's look empty, he said nothing,
06:04probably didn't feel like small talk with a girl like me, we kept driving outside,
06:08a bar glowed in the rain, neon signs, a few people smoking by the door,
06:12I wanted a drink, I wanted to pour alcohol over tonight until it dissolved,
06:17I want a drink, no, why, you're underage, I almost laughed, I was 20, three days ago was my
06:26birthday, Anthony hadn't said a word, but Victor didn't know that, he probably still saw the girl
06:31with a ponytail who couldn't reach his shoulder on her tiptoes, I'm an adult, 20, he looked at me,
06:37said nothing, the look was clear, so, you're not that much older, I remember you're 12 years
06:43younger than my dad, 32, 33, so, is 13 years really that much, no answer, the car turned into
06:53a darker street, I noticed his right arm was still seeping, pale red bleeding through the tissue,
06:58you let me clean your blood, but you won't let me have one drink, not a concession,
07:02more like giving up on reasoning with a stubborn cat, one, the car stopped in front of the bar,
07:08wait, I reached for the door, his arm crossed in front of me, his hand pressed the door shut,
07:14you're not going in wearing that, his eyes dropped briefly to my dress,
07:17soaked nearly transparent, I crossed my arms, then lend me a jacket, no jacket,
07:24so what do we do, Victor was quiet for two seconds, then he unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it off,
07:29one motion like tearing away something that didn't matter, I forgot to breathe,
07:33his body wasn't the kind you saw in magazines, sculpted, deliberate,
07:37his was built by fighting, by fists and blades, his shoulders were wide,
07:42his chest was carved like rain-worn rock, a scar ran below his collarbone,
07:46lighter than the surrounding skin, angled toward his shoulder,
07:49rain still clung to him, but tracked down between his abs and disappeared into his waistline,
07:54he held the shirt out, I didn't take it, I was still looking,
07:56Ellie, my name, lower this time, I snapped back, grabbed the shirt and pulled it on,
08:01the fabric was enormous, it felt a mid thigh, the collar slipped off one shoulder,
08:06it was still warm from his body, it smelled like him, like I'd been wrapped up and taken,
08:11I pushed the door open, cold air rushed in and swept the heat from my face,
08:15the bar door was heavy, I shoved it twice, inside, noise bodies pressed together,
08:19light low enough that no one could see anyone clearly,
08:22I shouldered through the crowd, someone bumped me, I stumbled, a hand caught my waist from behind,
08:28Victor, he'd followed me in, no shirt, in the dim light, he looked like a moving statue,
08:33a few women glanced over, whispered, he didn't look at any of them, he bent his head toward my ear,
08:38don't come to places like this alone,
08:40low enough that only I could hear, his palm was still pressed against my side,
08:44thumb just firm enough, this is the only place I can find that makes me happy,
08:47I pushed through to the bar and ordered a whiskey, the bartender glanced at Victor's shirt on me,
08:52then at Victor behind me, and said nothing,
08:58he slid the glass over, I picked it up, my phone rang, the name on the screen, Anthony,
09:03I stared at the name for three seconds, my finger hovered over the screen, answer or decline,
09:08Victor's eyes dropped to my phone, his expression didn't change,
09:11but the hand on my waist tightened, and his other hand lifted the phone from my fingers,
09:15he glanced at the screen, swiped, answered, he didn't speak, just listened,
09:20the bar was too loud, I couldn't hear Anthony's voice,
09:24but Victor's face shifted, his lips pressed flat, a muscle ticked along his jaw,
09:29a few seconds, then he hung up and turned the screen toward me,
09:33text messages, a string of them from Anthony,
09:36Ella, I miss you, Vivian's not as good as you, that tight little pussy of yours,
09:41I want it again, come over tonight, door's unlocked,
09:45the blood drained out of me, are you still seeing him,
09:49Victor asked, his voice was level, his knuckles were white around the phone,
09:53no, he broke up with me, he's the one who threw me out,
09:56then why does he still have your number, why do you still have his name seized,
09:59each question landed like a blade, my mouth opened, nothing came out,
10:05you broke up with him, so tonight, the drink, that was about him,
10:10no, Ellie, whoever you're with, at least don't let someone humiliate you,
10:15don't make me lose respect for you,
10:23what gives you the right,
10:25I felt like I was coming apart,
10:26what gives you the right to say anything to me,
10:28you're not Alexander, you're not my boyfriend,
10:30you're Alexander's friend, that's it, you have no standing here,
10:34I was furious, I grabbed his shirt off my shoulders,
10:37I don't need a babysitter,
10:38then I walked out, the bar door,
10:41cold rain on my face,
10:42bare arms, soaked dress,
10:44feeling like something's doomed,
10:46I didn't look back, I walked to the corner and hailed the cab,
10:49I went back to the old apartment and got my things,
10:52our photo was still on the wall,
10:53me and Anthony,
10:55I took it down and dropped it in the trash,
10:57then I found a new place,
10:58terrace, floor to ceiling windows,
11:00a pool glittering below,
11:02I called my friends,
11:03party tonight,
11:04they came fast,
11:06by one end the apartment was packed,
11:07wow it's pouring,
11:08the music was loud enough to drown out everything in my head,
11:11I lined the bottles up on the table,
11:13whiskey, vodka, tequila,
11:15I went to the kitchen for ice,
11:17I heard them through the door,
11:18Anthony really dumped her,
11:19good,
11:21she was never good enough for him anyway,
11:23her dad's rich,
11:25so what,
11:26he doesn't even look at her,
11:29the drinks are decent though,
11:31that's about all she's useful for,
11:34I stood in the kitchen doorway,
11:36ice bucket in my arms,
11:37the cubes were melting,
11:39water running down the sides,
11:40I took a slow breath,
11:41pushed the door open,
11:43smile,
11:44ice is here,
11:45who needs some,
11:46their faces flipped instantly,
11:48they crowded around,
11:49laughing,
11:51pouring drink,
11:54Ella,
11:54we have a surprise for you,
11:56her smile thick as syrup,
11:57what surprise,
11:59you'll love it,
12:00the doorbell rang,
12:01Sarah ran to answer it,
12:02Anthony was in the doorway,
12:04Vivian beside him,
12:05something punched in my stomach,
12:08why are you here,
12:10Vivian smiled and stepped forward,
12:13to keep you company,
12:15get out,
12:17come on,
12:18Ella,
12:18Anthony moved toward me,
12:20let's just talk,
12:21I don't want to see you,
12:24Vivian grabbed my wrist,
12:25Ella,
12:26get away from me,
12:27I pulled free,
12:28she stepped back,
12:29and she went down,
12:30the whiskey glass shattered,
12:31alcohol spread across the floor,
12:34you pushed me,
12:35Vivian sat on the floor,
12:36Anthony was on me,
12:37before I could speak,
12:38he grabbed my shoulders,
12:39and slammed me against the wall,
12:42you fucking touch her,
12:44I didn't push her,
12:46she fell,
12:47Vivian stood up,
12:49smoothed her skirt,
12:50walked to the door,
12:51and locked it,
12:52then she picked up,
12:53a sealed bottle of vodka,
12:54from the table,
12:55twisted off the cap,
12:56and walked toward me,
12:58the amber liquid,
12:59poured over my head,
13:00it burned through my nose,
13:01into my mouth,
13:02I couldn't open my eyes,
13:04alcohol soaked through my hair,
13:06they were laughing,
13:07Anthony was laughing,
13:08my tears mixed with the vodka,
13:10no one saw,
13:12outside the floor,
13:13to ceiling windows,
13:14Victor appeared,
13:15no one knew when he'd arrived,
13:17through the glass,
13:18he saw everything,
13:19his fist closed,
13:22pulled off his beat,
13:24wrapped it around his right hand,
13:25like a crude glove,
13:27he stepped back,
13:28swore,
13:29the glass exploded,
13:30he rushed through the broken phone,
13:32straight toward me,
13:34the room froze,
13:35music still playing,
13:36nobody breathed,
13:37Vivian's hand was still raised,
13:39a drop ran down from the neck,
13:42she looked at Victor,
13:43and her triumph,
13:44curdled into something else,
13:45Victor stopped in front of me,
13:48he raised one hand,
13:49and wiped the vodka,
13:50from my face,
13:51are you hurt,
13:52I shook my head,
13:53the alcohol in my eyes,
13:54was burning,
13:55Victor turned to face Vivian,
13:57he had a head on her,
13:58he was still wet,
13:59rain and blood,
14:00not quite dry,
14:01Vivian's hand,
14:02started to shake,
14:03the bottle slipped,
14:04and rolled across the carpet,
14:06what's your name,
14:07Victor asked,
14:08quiet,
14:09Vivian's lips moved,
14:11nothing came out,
14:13I asked your name,
14:16Vivian,
14:17Vivian,
14:18he repeated it,
14:20then reached for the sealed whiskey bottle,
14:22on the table,
14:24twisted it open,
14:26you like pouring drinks on people,
14:28he didn't wait for an answer,
14:29he appended it over her head,
14:31she choked and gasped,
14:32liquor ran down her jaw,
14:34and into her collar,
14:35no,
14:36she shrieked,
14:39do that again,
14:40and see what happens,
14:42she went silent,
14:43her makeup was ruined,
14:44black liner streaming down both cheeks,
14:46like two trails of ink,
14:47Anthony lunged forward,
14:49what the f***,
14:50Victor pulled the gun from his waist,
14:52and pressed the muzzle,
14:53to Anthony's forehead,
14:54Anthony stopped cold,
14:56all the color left his face,
15:00which hand did you use on Ella,
15:03Anthony couldn't speak,
15:04I didn't,
15:06Victor lowered the gun,
15:08get out,
15:09they scrambled for the door,
15:11one of Vivian's heels fell off,
15:13she didn't dare stop to pick it up,
15:15the door closed,
15:16the apartment went still,
15:17just the music still loop,
15:19I walked over and turned it off,
15:22I looked at Victor,
15:24why did you come,
15:25I asked,
15:26he didn't answer,
15:27why do you keep involving yourself,
15:29why did you break the window,
15:31why did you put a gun to Anthony's head,
15:33do you know how much trouble,
15:34that's going to cause,
15:40Ellie,
15:40don't call me that,
15:42I snapped,
15:43I'm not Ellie,
15:44I'm Ella Whitley,
15:46I don't need your protection,
15:48I don't need you,
15:50embarrassing me in front of people,
15:52showing up at every humiliating moment,
15:54like some kind of guardian,
15:55Victor watched me,
15:56said nothing,
15:58the tears finally came,
16:00do you know what they're gonna say,
16:02they'll say Ella got rescued,
16:03by some older man,
16:05Ella can't take care of herself,
16:07Ella's useless,
16:09are you done,
16:10no I was almost shouting,
16:11do you know why,
16:12I threw this party tonight,
16:14because I wanted to pretend,
16:16I was starting over,
16:17pretend Anthony hadn't thrown me out,
16:20I stopped,
16:22because Victor,
16:24walking toward me,
16:25he stepped on the glass,
16:26on the ground,
16:27walking toward me,
16:29I stepped back,
16:31until I hit the wall,
16:32he put one hand,
16:34against the wall,
16:34beside my head,
16:35and looked down at me,
16:37but Ellie,
16:38they're not your friends,
16:38the air left my lungs,
16:40his face was close,
16:41his eyes were deep blue,
16:43the dim living room light,
16:44reflected inside them,
16:45and my face,
16:46I didn't argue,
16:47because in that moment,
16:48with his lips inches from mine,
16:49I didn't want to argue,
16:51about anything,
16:52I rose onto my toes,
16:53and kissed him,
16:54his lips were cool,
16:55tasted like rain,
16:56then I reached for his belt,
16:59his hand closed,
17:01his hand closed around my wrist,
17:02stopped me,
17:03what are you doing,
17:05proving something,
17:07that I'm not a little girl,
17:09Victor frowned,
17:10then he bent down,
17:11one arm under my knees,
17:13one at my back,
17:14and lifted me off the floor,
17:15I grabbed his neck,
17:16without thinking,
17:17his skin was burning,
17:18my chest pressed against his,
17:20and I could feel his heartbeat,
17:21fast,
17:22not as controlled,
17:23as his face suggested,
17:24he carried me through the living room,
17:26into the bedroom,
17:27and set me down on the bed,
17:28the sheets were cool,
17:29I flinched when my back hit them,
17:31he straightened up,
17:32I thought he was going to undo his belt,
17:34he pulled the blanket over me instead,
17:36tucked it to my chin,
17:37sleep,
17:38what?
17:39it's 2 a.m.,
17:40time to sleep,
17:40I stared at him,
17:41he walked out as if he felt nothing,
17:43I don't know when I fell asleep,
17:44in the morning the apartment was quiet,
17:47Victor was probably gone,
17:48I washed up,
17:49started on breakfast,
17:50and found a gun on the nightstand,
17:52cold metal,
17:53letters carved into the grip,
17:54I couldn't read,
17:55I turned it over,
17:56fingers brushing the trigger guard,
17:59don't touch that,
18:00Victor stood in the bedroom doorway,
18:02hair wet,
18:03water still tracking down his neck,
18:05just out of the shower,
18:07no shirt,
18:07clean lines of muscle,
18:09a towel at his waist,
18:10he crossed the room,
18:12and took the gun from my hands,
18:18children shouldn't play with these,
18:20I'm not a child,
18:21then what were you just doing,
18:23pointing the barrel at your own face,
18:25he put the gun up high on the nightstand,
18:27out of my reach,
18:28and turned to go,
18:29what are you afraid of,
18:30afraid I'll hurt myself,
18:31or afraid I'll hurt you,
18:33maybe I'll do it anyway,
18:35Victor turned around and looked at me,
18:37his expression didn't change,
18:38but something in his eyes went dark,
18:40he walked to the nightstand,
18:42opened the drawer,
18:43and pulled out a pair of handcuffs,
18:44the metal clicked clean and sharp,
18:46he grabbed my wrist,
18:48and before I could pull back,
18:49the clip snapped shut,
18:50my wrist to the iron bed frame,
18:54what are you doing,
18:56he yanked against it,
18:57the metal bit,
18:58keeping you still,
18:59he picked up the gun and left,
19:00Victor,
19:01he didn't answer,
19:02I sat on the bed,
19:03arm pulled awkward and hard,
19:05about five minutes later,
19:06he came back,
19:07tray in hand,
19:09toast,
19:09fried egg,
19:10hot milk,
19:11unlock me,
19:12I said,
19:13say please,
19:15please unlock me,
19:16look at me when you say it,
19:18I drew a breath,
19:19raised my eyes to his,
19:20please unlock me,
19:21he came over,
19:22bent down,
19:23fingers at the lock,
19:25his face was close,
19:26close enough,
19:27that I could see the water,
19:28still clinging to his lashes,
19:29anything else,
19:31what,
19:32you forgot to say sir,
19:34I bit my lip,
19:35you,
19:36what about me,
19:38you old man,
19:40I said,
19:41Victor's hand paused,
19:42then he did something I didn't expect,
19:44he took my chin between his fingers,
19:47pressed his thumb against my lips and pushed down,
19:49gently,
19:50not hard,
19:51just enough to shut me up,
19:52say that again,
19:53I didn't,
19:54not because I was scared,
19:56because his thumb was still on my mouth,
19:58and I'd completely lost track of my breathing,
20:01he leaned in closer,
20:02my back pressed flat against the sheets,
20:04the cuff pulled tight,
20:06a thin sound of metal,
20:07was he going to kiss me,
20:08right here,
20:09like this,
20:10I closed my eyes,
20:11click,
20:11the cuff fell open,
20:12I opened my eyes,
20:14Victor had already straightened up,
20:16he slid the handcuffs back into the drawer,
20:18get to school,
20:19you have class this afternoon,
20:20I rubbed my reddened wrist,
20:22my heart was still knocking around,
20:24I'm not going,
20:25what,
20:26I said I'm not going,
20:27I looked up at him,
20:28I do what I want,
20:29Victor studied me for two seconds,
20:31of course,
20:32you can do whatever you want,
20:34I thought he was giving in,
20:35but you have a curfew,
20:36home by ten,
20:37you have absolutely no right,
20:39his phone rang,
20:41Victor glanced at the screen,
20:42and walked to the window to answer,
20:45I heard the name,
20:46I sat up in bed and listened,
20:47his back was to me,
20:48his voice was low,
20:50the room was too quiet,
20:51I still caught pieces,
20:52she's fine,
20:53with me,
20:54safe,
20:55of course,
20:56I promise,
20:56you have not been turned to me,
20:58your dad asked if you've eaten,
21:00that's it,
21:01he didn't answer,
21:02he set the phone down,
21:04a flash crossed his mind,
21:05my lips,
21:06he frowned,
21:07like he wanted it gone,
21:08I'm going back to school,
21:10I jumped off the bed,
21:11and put on my shoes,
21:12that night,
21:13I didn't go home,
21:14to be exact,
21:15I did,
21:15then I left again,
21:16Victor wasn't there,
21:17busy,
21:18probably,
21:18I changed into a black dress,
21:20low neckline,
21:21makeup,
21:22hair down,
21:23the club was called heaven,
21:24the music shook the floor,
21:26red lights,
21:27smoke and put some heavy ones,
21:28I stepped onto the stage,
21:30the pole was cold,
21:31my palms were sweating,
21:32my friend Leah filmed him from the room,
21:34laughing hard,
21:35I grabbed the pole and sighed,
21:39my skirt lifted,
21:41whistles rose from the phone,
21:42then the lights changed,
21:44not the DJ,
21:45someone kept the name playing,
21:46the music stopped,
21:47all clear,
21:48the tall figure walked in,
21:50security tried to stop him,
21:52he shoved him in the side,
21:54just a new to the crowd toward the stage,
21:57black and white,
21:58no expression,
22:00but everything about him said one thing,
22:02he was angry,
22:03you
