Reborn, My Mafia Brother Kneels to Beg Me Back

Short filmTranscript
00:03The moment the terrorist attack hit, my brother shielded me without a second shot, taking every single bullet for me.
00:11If there's a next life, I never want you to be my sister again, Nora. Is enough.
00:17Another bullet tore through my body. When I opened my eyes again, I was back five years ago.
00:22In my past life, ever since Nora, his adopted daughter, died, Leon became the person who hated me most in
00:28this world.
00:29He hated me to his core. He even sent me to a casino in Las Vegas, treating me like a
00:34toy for people to bid on and play with.
00:36In this life, I don't want Leon's love anymore. The scene before me was exactly like the last life.
00:42Nora burned her own hand, then framed me for it.
00:45Layla, I can't believe you. You pushed Nora's hand into boiling water over a stupid piece of candy?
00:51She's the one who saved your life. How can I have a sister as heartless and wicked as you?
00:55The Leon in front of me wasn't coughing blood, and he had no bullet holes in him.
01:00I'm sorry, Leon. I shouldn't have burned Nora's hand.
01:03That candy was given to me by him on the day our parents died in that car crash.
01:08That day, with red eyes, he comforted me and pressed the candy into my palm.
01:13Don't cry, Layla. You still have your big brother.
01:16It's normal that he forgot.
01:18I'm sorry. From now on, I will never try to steal brother away from you anymore.
01:24Layla, I didn't mean to break that candy. Please don't...
01:30Is this enough?
01:34Layla, are you crazy?
01:36What are you standing there for? Get a doctor! Now!
01:40Right now, Leon still cares about me. His eyes aren't filled with total disgust yet.
01:45I actually felt a moment of greed for it.
01:48Leon! I know Layla wants your love all to herself, but she shouldn't use this kind of self-harm to
01:54get sympathy.
01:56Layla, you and Leon are blood siblings. I'm just an outsider. Please stop hurting yourself, okay?
02:02Because of those words, Leon's face instantly turned cold and rational.
02:06I can't believe I actually felt sorry for you. I must be losing my mind. You're so manipulative. Are you
02:14really my sister?
02:18You!
02:19Leon was shaking with rage, pointing at me but unable to speak.
02:23Take her to get bandaged. Keep her away from Nora. Looking at her gives me a headache.
02:28I nodded and walked out obediently. A familiar, sharp pain was spreading from my kidneys to every nerve in my
02:35body.
02:35In my past life, it was this exact day that I was diagnosed with kidney failure. Without a transplant, I
02:41won't last two weeks.
02:44I've been frail and sickly since I was a kid, and having a rare blood type meant every illness was
02:49a brush with death.
02:50Once, during a major surgery, I started hemorrhaging and the hospital's blood bank ran dry.
02:55Leon found Nora, who had the same blood type as me. She was the daughter my stepmother brought into the
02:59family when my father remarried.
03:01Her blood saved me, and from that moment on, she secured her place in the Valenti family.
03:06But that was also when Leon changed. He stopped checking in on me and stopped treating me like I was
03:11his whole world.
03:12Whenever Nora and I both got hurt, he wouldn't even give me a second glance.
03:16He'd leave me standing there alone and scoop up Nora, even if her injuries were minor, and rush her to
03:20the hospital.
03:21I was frantic, jealous, and full of hate. I went out of my way to target her.
03:26Between a sweet, well-behaved sister and a wicked, frantic one, it was obvious who Leon would choose.
03:31But even though I threw tantrums and acted out, deep down, I still believed I was the one he loved
03:36most.
03:37I thought the only reason he was so good to Nora was because she had saved my life.
03:41But I was wrong. Dead wrong.
03:43In my last life, after I was diagnosed with kidney disease, Nora died on the operating table during the transplant.
03:49I survived by some miracle, but from that day on, I became the object of Leon's pure loathing.
03:54He spat the most poisonous words at me, as if we weren't flesh and blood, but enemies sworn to destroy
04:00each other.
04:00This time around, I don't want things to end up like that. I'd rather it be me who dies.
04:06The winters here are brutal. The freezing wind, whipped with snowflakes, cuts right through my face.
04:11The dull ache in my kidneys and the sharp sting on my right arm tangled together, making even a normal
04:17breath feel like a luxury.
04:18I got greedy back there. I came back to life to fulfill Leon's wish of only having Nora as a
04:24sister.
04:24I should just get out of their way.
04:26Suddenly, a car horn blared beside me. The window rolled down, revealing Leon's cold face.
04:32Get in.
04:32I started to say no, but the bodyguards forced me into the car before I could say a word.
04:39You didn't get your arm bandaged. What kind of game are you playing now?
04:42The self-harm didn't work, so now you're playing the hard-to-get card?
04:45Leon, I'm being serious. From now on, you don't have to deal with me anymore.
04:49I'm moving out. I'll stay far away from both of you.
04:54Moving out?
04:56Layla, everything you have comes from the Velati family.
04:59Without us, you're a nobody.
05:03How many days do you think you'd even survive?
05:05It's not like I have many days left anyway.
05:07How long I last is my problem.
05:09I was immature before. I thought if I fought and made a scene, you'd look at me more.
05:12But I get it now. Some things aren't meant to be mine, and I can't force them.
05:16So, Nora saved me, so it's only right that you love her. I... I shouldn't be standing in the middle.
05:20Leon's eyes searched mine, sharp and piercing, like he was trying to find a crack in my story.
05:26Some hint of faking it or a hidden motive.
05:28But all he saw were dead ashes.
05:30You think if you talk like this, I'll go soft on you?
05:32You think I'll believe you've actually grown up?
05:36Layla, I've seen enough of your stunts.
05:40I'm not pulling a stunt, Leon.
05:41I'm just... tired.
05:44I don't... want to fight anymore. I don't want to...
05:46I don't want to go see Mom and Dad with you hating me.
05:51The car pulled through the grand, massive gates of the Valenti estate.
05:55I got out and headed straight for my room, tucked away in a quiet corner of the mansion.
05:59I started packing, grabbing only a few basic clothes, some cash, and an old photo album my parents left behind.
06:04One I'm sure Leon forgot existed a long time ago.
06:07Nora was leaning against the frame, her left wrist wrapped in fresh white gauze.
06:11Are you really leaving, Layla?
06:14Is it because of what Leon said?
06:16Don't be mad at him. He was just worried about me.
06:19I know you guys are real siblings, but he still trusts me more, doesn't he?
06:23I watched her little performance without feeling a single spark of anger.
06:26If this were my past life, that would have hit a nerve.
06:29I would have lashed out, gotten into a fight, and ended up getting screamed at by Leon again.
06:33But now, I just wanted to get away.
06:35Move.
06:40Open your eyes, Layla. In this house, Leon only cares about me.
06:44Staying here just makes you a joke. Getting lost is better for everyone.
06:47I ignored the bait and tried to brush past her.
06:49Right then, Nora let out a sharp scream.
06:52She whipped out a small paring knife from nowhere and sliced it deep across her own left arm.
06:57Bees of blood bubbled up instantly.
07:00Layla! What are you doing?
07:03I already apologized to you.
07:06Why do you still want to hurt me?
07:08Heavy footsteps rushed toward us, and Leon appeared in the doorway, his face dark.
07:12He saw the blood dripping down Nora's arm.
07:14He saw me standing in front of her holding my backpack and the fruit knife lying on the floor.
07:18Without asking a single question, a storm of rage explodes in his eyes.
07:22He swings his hand and hits me with a brutal, stinging slap.
07:26Time seemed to stand still.
07:27The burn on my right arm, the agony in my kidneys, it all suddenly vanished.
07:32The only thing left was the fire burning on my cheek.
07:34In two lifetimes, this was the very first time he had ever laid a hand on me.
07:39It hurt more than all my other injuries and illnesses combined.
07:42Even in my past life, when he spat the most hateful words at me, he never hit me.
07:47I guess he really does love Nora as his sister.
07:51Layla Volante, for a split second just now, I actually thought you might have changed.
07:56I was so stupid.
07:57How can you be so cold-blooded?
07:59What did Nora ever do to deserve this?
08:01Why do you keep hurting her over and over again?
08:04She saved your life!
08:28What else are you trying to do?
08:29I don't answer.
08:30I just grip the knife tight.
08:32Brother, you hate me so much, right?
08:35You think I hurt your precious Naya?
08:37Then let me get revenge for her.
08:39Give it to me!
08:40Let go, Layla!
08:41We struggle.
08:42He's too strong.
08:43I'm no match for him.
08:44But in the middle of the chaos, my body suddenly jolts.
08:47A tearing pain rips through my kidney.
08:49My legs go weak and I fall forward.
09:01I didn't beat Layla.
09:04Brother's voice is dry and shaking.
09:07He looks at his bloody hands, then at my face as the color drains away.
09:10For the first time, I see pure terror in his eyes.
09:14I look at him.
09:15There's one last thing I want to say.
09:16This pays you back for the bullet you took from me in our past life.
09:19From now on, we owe each other nothing.
09:24Layla!
09:25Call a doctor!
09:26Get an ambulance!
09:28Now!
09:30The next time I opened my eyes, I was in a hospital room smelling strongly of disinfectant.
09:35My shoulder was wrapped in thick layers of gauze and it throbbed with a dull ache.
09:39But I could feel that familiar, heavy sensation of my body failing from the head even more clearly.
09:45This day had finally come after all.
09:47The room was quiet, but I could hear a muffled, tense argument coming from outside the door.
09:52It was Leon and Nora.
09:53I'm asking you one last time.
09:55Did she really use that knife on you?
09:57Or did you do it to yourself?
09:59Leon, you're doubting me?
10:01How could you doubt me?
10:02She hates me.
10:04She's always hated me for taking you away from-
10:06I only believe the facts.
10:07No matter how much Leia acted out in the past, she never went this far to hurt herself.
10:12Nora, you'd better not be lying to me.
10:14If I find out you are, I will kill you.
10:18Nora flunged, terrified by the look in his eyes.
10:21A look she had never seen before.
10:23She turned ghostly pale and couldn't squeeze out another word.
10:26Leon walked out onto the balcony and smoked a cigarette, trying to steady his nerves.
10:31Check the tapes.
10:32Layla's door was open at the time.
10:33The cameras in the hallway should have caught what happened inside that room.
10:38I lay on the hospital bed, staring up at the stark white ceiling, feeling a deep, hollow
10:43silence within.
10:44Once the nurse finished changing my dressing and left, I pulled the IV needle from the
10:48back of my hand.
10:49Ignoring the dual agony in my shoulder and deep inside my body, I struggled out of bed.
10:53I changed back into the clothes I arrived in, stained with blood that had already dried
10:57and turned stiff.
10:58I grabbed my old backpack and slipped out of the hospital without a sound.
11:01I didn't go back to the mansion.
11:03That place hadn't been home for a long time.
11:05Instead, I headed to the cemetery on the outskirts of the city.
11:09I knelt before my parents' headstone.
11:11Mom, Dad, I miss you so much.
11:15I really do.
11:16Leon doesn't want me anymore.
11:17He has a new sister now and he hates me.
11:20I'm sick, really sick.
11:23Without a kidney, I won't last much longer.
11:25I'm so tired.
11:27Mom, Dad, I'm coming to stay with you.
11:30You won't be disappointed in me, right?
11:33I sobbed until my heart felt like it was breaking.
11:35By the end, I had no strength left.
11:37My body felt heavier by the second and my mind started to fade.
11:41The wound on my shoulder must have ripped open again.
11:43I could feel a warm liquid soaking through my clothes and the rhythmic pain in my arm and
11:47kidneys wouldn't stop.
11:49My life was draining away.
11:51Leon, this time, I'm truly giving my life back to you.
11:54I don't want the kidney.
11:56And I don't want the love that hasn't belonged to me for a long time.
12:00I'm giving you what you wanted.
12:02Now, you'll only have one sister.
12:05In the hospital, Leon Valenti sat on a bench outside Layla's room.
12:09His fists clenched so tight his knuckles were white.
12:12Nora, her shoulder bandaged, leaned against him and sobbed softly.
12:16Leon, I'm so scared.
12:18How could Layla be so extreme?
12:21Do you think something's wrong with her head?
12:23Maybe we should get her a psychiatrist?
12:26But her tricks, which usually worked every time, failed her this time.
12:29Leon wasn't even listening.
12:30His mind kept replaying the moment Layla lunged into the knife in his hand.
12:35Those eyes, they were calm, lifeless, and filled with a sense of relief.
12:39Those weren't the eyes of the sister he knew.
12:41The one who got jealous, made scenes, and threw tantrums.
12:44Leon, are you even listening to me?
12:47Nora pulled at his sleeve.
12:48Yeah, I'm going to see if she's awake.
12:50Leon gave a distracted reply and suddenly stood up.
12:53He pushed the door open, but the bed was empty.
12:55The covers were tossed aside, and the blood-stained clothes that had been sitting there were gone.
12:59On the nightstand, the IV had been ripped out.
13:03The needle hung uselessly, a single drop of medicine slowly forming and falling from the tip.
13:09Layla.
13:10Leon rushed into the attached bathroom, but no one was there either.
13:14A wave of dread instantly burst.
13:17Someone! Get in here!
13:19Nurses and bodyguards came running at the sound of his voice.
13:22Where is she? Where's my sister?
13:24Leon's voice carried a tremble he didn't even know.
13:27Mr. Volonti, we were at the nursing station.
13:30We didn't see Miss Layla come out.
13:32Check the cameras! Now!
13:34Do it right now!
13:35Leon was practically screaming.
13:39He gave the order and sprinted out of the room,
13:41bolting down the hallway and throwing open every door he passed,
13:44his eyes frantically scanning every corner.
13:47Nothing.
13:48That familiar, fragile figure was nowhere to be found.
13:53Boss, the footage shows Miss Volonti left her room 20 minutes ago.
13:56She took the service stairs.
13:57She left on her own?
13:59She's hurt that dad!
14:00How could she even walk?
14:01Find her!
14:02Block all the exits!
14:03Find her!
14:04Now!
14:04The hospital was turned upside down.
14:06Nothing.
14:07They pulled the security footage from around the hospital
14:10and only saw a thin girl in an oversized, blood-stained coat
14:14carrying an old backpack.
14:15With her head down, she stumbled out of frame,
14:17disappearing into the freezing wind on the street.
14:20Widen the search!
14:21Get the city's traffic cams!
14:23Call every place she could possibly go!
14:25Find her!
14:26A terrifying thought forced its way into his mind.
14:28What if she didn't want to live anymore?
14:31The thought made his heart drop like lead.
14:35The cemetery.
14:37Go to the West Hill Cemetery.
14:39Fast!
14:41The black sedan tore through the winter streets,
14:44racing through one red light after another.
14:47Leon sat in bed.
14:48His hands plunged so tight his nails dunked deep into his palms.
14:52He kept barking at the driver to go faster.
14:55His eyes locked and thrown away,
14:57as if he could somehow fly there in his shoes.
14:59The car had barely come to a stop at the cemetery.
15:02Before Leon threw the door open and bolted.
15:06The freezing wind slammed into him,
15:08whipping snow into his face.
15:10The cemetery was desolate and silent.
15:13Layla?
15:14Are you here?
15:15I'm sorry.
15:17Please stop scaring me like this, okay?
15:20I shouldn't have yelled at you.
15:21I shouldn't have hit you.
15:23Leon walked along the familiar path,
15:25his voice soft and cautious,
15:27as if speaking too loudly might make her vanish.
15:30His heart hammered against his ribs so hard,
15:33it felt like they might snap.
15:36The wind cut into his skin,
15:38but he didn't even feel it.
15:41Finally, he saw it.
15:42The tiny, curled-up figure,
15:44huddled in front of their parents' headstone.
15:47Time seemed to stop.
15:48In an instant,
15:49the blood drained from his face.
15:51He heard the sound of his own heart shattering.
15:55Layla.
15:57He stumbled forward and collapsed onto the cold, hard ground.
16:01When he touched her,
16:01she was icy and stiff.
16:03No breath, no pulse.
16:04Her pale face was as still and silent as a fragile porcelain doll.
16:09Layla?
16:10Layla!
16:11Wake up!
16:12Look at me!
16:13I'm here!
16:15I was wrong!
16:17Please stop scaring me, okay?
16:19Just open your eyes and look at me.
16:21No response.
16:23No.
16:24No.
16:25This can't be happening.
16:27Leon looked like all the life had been drained out of him.
16:29He slumped to the ground,
16:31still clutching her cold body against him,
16:33trying to warm her with his own chest.
16:36Doctor!
16:38Get a doctor!
16:41He shrieked,
16:42his voice so raw and agonizing,
16:44it didn't even sound human.
16:46The bodyguards and the assistant who had just arrived
16:48were paralyzed by the scene.
16:49The man who was a titan in the business world,
16:52the man who was always calm and in control,
16:54was now cradling his lifeless sister,
16:57sobbing like a child who had lost everything.
17:00Layla.
17:02Layla.
17:02My Layla.
17:05He buried his face in the hollow of her cold neck,
17:08hot tears streaming down his face.
17:10They burned his skin,
17:11but they couldn't warm her even a little bit.
17:13Why were you so stupid?
17:15I'm sorry, Layla.
17:16I really, really am.
17:17Please come back.
17:18Just come back, okay?
17:20I'll give you anything.
17:20I won't ever yell at you again.
17:23I'll take care of you.
17:24I'll only love you.
17:25The family doctor who had rushed over with them
17:27did a quick check.
17:28Then he slowly shook his head, his voice heavy.
17:31Boss, Miss Volante is...
17:33She's been gone for a while.
17:35She lost too much blood and...
17:37She already showed signs of severe organ failure.
17:40Her body had just reached its limit.
17:42Organ failure?
17:43Leon snapped his head up,
17:45his bloodshot eyes wild and terrifying.
17:47What do you mean, failure?
17:49What was wrong with her?
17:52Why didn't I know about this?
17:54The doctor flinched at the looking of his eyes
17:56and took a step back.
17:57I'd need to do a full exam to be sure,
17:59but based on her symptoms and what you've described,
18:03it was likely a kidney issue,
18:04and it was already in the late stages.
18:07Kidney disease.
18:08Late stage.
18:09Leon remembered how pale her face had been in the car.
18:12He remembered how she kept instinctively clutching her side.
18:16He remembered how unusually calm she was
18:18when she apologized today,
18:20and how she looked like she was saying goodbye for good.
18:23She was sick.
18:25She was dying.
18:26And what had he been doing?
18:28He was blaming her,
18:30accusing her,
18:31slapping her across the face.
18:33And then,
18:33he had basically driven that knife into her house.
18:39It was me.
18:41I killed her.
18:44I killed my own little sister,
18:45with my own hands.
18:47Overwhelming regret and agony
18:49felt like a thousand dull blades
18:50hacking away at his heart and soul.
18:53Just then,
18:54his phone started ringing,
18:55breaking the silence.
18:56It was Nora.
18:56Leon didn't even seem to hear it,
18:58but his assistant tremblingly
18:59handed him the phone and whispered,
19:01Boss, it's Miss Nora.
19:03She's called so many times.
19:05Leon slowly,
19:07mechanically,
19:07turned his head
19:08and stared at the glowing screen.
19:11As she lunged into the blade,
19:13Nora's crying face,
19:14that fruit knife,
19:15a clear,
19:16terrifying realization
19:17slithered into his mind
19:19like a venomous snake.
19:20He gently laid Layla's cold body down
19:22and took off his overcoat,
19:24carefully draping it over her
19:25as if she were the most precious treasure
19:27in the world.
19:28Then,
19:29he stood up.
19:30In just a few seconds,
19:32the man who had been collapsing in tears
19:34seemed to vanish.
19:35In his place,
19:36stood a dead man
19:37with hollow,
19:38lifeless eyes,
19:39radiating a chilling aura
19:40of pure terror.
19:42He took the phone
19:42and pressed answer.
19:44Nora's voice came through the line,
19:45tearful and intentionally soffered.
19:47Leon, where are you?
19:48Did you find Layla?
19:49I'm so worried about you guys.
19:51Leon's voice was terrifyingly calm,
19:54without a single hint of emotion.
19:56I found her.
19:57Really?
19:58Oh, thank God.
20:00Nora was stunned,
20:01but she pushed down her bitter hatred
20:03and forced a relieved tone.
20:04Is she okay?
20:05Bring her home quickly,
20:06it's so cold out there.
20:08She's dead.
20:09The other end of the line
20:11went dead inside.
20:12A few seconds later,
20:14Nora suppressed
20:15the massive wave of joy
20:16rising inside her.
20:17Instead,
20:17her voice became even more panicked
20:19with a subtle,
20:20well-acted tremor.
20:22What?
20:22Leon, what are you saying?
20:24What happened to her?
20:27How could...
20:28I don't believe it.
20:31You're lying to me, right?
20:32Leon cut her off.
20:34Nora...
20:34Every word sounding like
20:35it was pulled from a deep,
20:37frozen grave.
20:38Go to the living room
20:39at the Veladi estate
20:39and wait for me.
20:40Right now,
20:41I have questions.
20:42Nora's heart,
20:43which had just been racing
20:45with excitement,
20:46suddenly sank.
20:47Leon, I...
20:48She tried her usual
20:49sobbing routine
20:50to plead with him.
20:51Don't make me say it twice.
20:53Leon didn't even bother
20:54to listen this time
20:55and hung up immediately.
20:56Setting the phone down,
20:57he took one last look
20:58at his sister
20:58lying there so peacefully.
21:00He leaned over
21:01and pressed a trembling kiss
21:02to her cold forehead.
21:03Wait for me, Layla.
21:04I'm going to get you
21:06the justice you deserve.
21:08He turned
21:08and walked toward
21:09the cemetery exit.
21:10His back was straight,
21:11but he was shrouded
21:12in a layer of despair
21:13and death
21:14so thick
21:15it was suffocating.
21:16The Valenti estate living room.
21:18Nora was pacing restlessly.
21:20She had already heard
21:21through other channels
21:21vague rumors
21:22that something had truly
21:23happened to Layla.
21:24It left her torn
21:24between fear
21:25and a twisted sense
21:26of satisfaction.
21:27Layla, that eyesore,
21:28the one who kept trying
21:29to steal back the affection
21:30Nora worked so hard to take,
21:32was finally gone for good.
21:33The doors swung open
21:34and Leon walked in.
21:35Nora immediately masked her face
21:37with an expression
21:37of frantic worry
21:38and rushed toward him.
21:40Leon!
21:40What's going on?
21:42Layla!
21:43She...
21:43Her voice cut off abruptly.
21:45She had finally seen him clearly.
21:46His eyes were bloodshot
21:48and raw,
21:48yet his gaze was so icy
21:50and hollow
21:50it made her heart skipper beat.
21:52But what truly terrified her
21:53was his hair.
21:54Amidst his thick,
21:55jet black strands,
21:56there were now streaks
21:57of startling,
21:57brilliant white.
21:58He had gone gray overnight?
22:01Leon,
22:02your hair...
22:03Nora took a step back,
22:04trembling.
22:05Leon didn't acknowledge
22:05the words.
22:06He walked straight
22:07to the head of the sofa
22:08and sat down.
22:09He raised a hand
22:09and the bodyguard
22:10immediately stepped forward
22:11with his outlet,
22:12tapping on a video camera.
22:13It was the surveillance footage
22:14from the hallway
22:15of the Valencia Villa.
22:16On the screen,
22:17Nora blocked Layla's path.
22:18She pulled out the fruit knife,
22:19swiftly slashed her own arm,
22:21then threw the knife
22:21onto the floor
22:22and recoiled
22:23with a cracked screen.
22:25Layla,
22:25look closely.
22:26In this house,
22:28Leon only has eyes for me.
22:30Staying here
22:30just makes you a joke.
22:32For everyone's sake,
22:33just get lost already.
22:35The state-of-the-art cameras
22:36had captured everything.
22:37Even the malice
22:38in her taunting voice
22:39was crystal clear.
22:40Nora's face
22:41turned paper-white
22:42in an instant.
22:43No!
22:43No!
22:44Leon,
22:44this footage is fake!
22:45Someone is trying
22:46to frame me!
22:49She lunged forward,
22:50trying to grab his hand,
22:51but Leon pulled away
22:53with pure disgust.
22:54Fake?
22:55Leon finally spoke,
22:56his voice dry
22:57and rasping like sandpaper.
22:59Then what about this?
23:00A receipt found
23:01in your trash
23:02for the exact same fruit knife.
23:04Is this fake, too?
23:06Another piece of evidence
23:07was slammed down
23:08in front of her.
23:09And one more thing.
23:10Leon stood up slowly,
23:11closing it on her.
23:12The sheer pressure
23:13radiating from him
23:14made it hard
23:15for Nora to breathe.
23:16The hospital blood bank
23:17records show
23:18that during Layla's surgery
23:20years ago,
23:21while your blood type matched,
23:22you weren't coincidentally
23:23at the hospital.
23:24It was prearranged.
23:26And the person
23:27who arranged it?
23:29An old acquaintance
23:31of your biological father.
23:33The man who racked up
23:34massive gambling debts
23:36and later died
23:37in that accidental car crash.
23:39Nora began to shake
23:40violently,
23:41cold sweat
23:42drenching her clothes
23:43in seconds.
23:44Her biggest secret,
23:45the one she thought
23:46was full proof,
23:47had been stripped of her.
23:49Your father orchestrated
23:50that entire
23:51life-saving miracle
23:52for the money.
23:53He dug up information
23:55that the Volani airshed
23:56needed a transfusion
23:57and sent you
23:58into our home.
24:00Leon's voice
24:00was chillingly calm.
24:02For years,
24:02I cherished you,
24:04I protected you,
24:05and treated you
24:05as my own sister.
24:07I hurt my real sister
24:09over and over again,
24:11all for you.
24:12With every word he spoke,
24:13Nora's trembling
24:14intensified.
24:15You exploited my guilt
24:16and gratitude
24:16to frame Layla,
24:17driving a wedge
24:18between us time and again.
24:20Yesterday,
24:20you tried your old tricks,
24:22but you never imagined
24:23that Layla
24:24would choose to end it.
24:25The torrential pain
24:26and hatred
24:27finally surged
24:28in your...
24:30It was you!
24:31You venomous woman!
24:33You drove my sister
24:34to her death
24:35step by step!
24:37No, Leon,
24:38listen to me!
24:39I really do think
24:40of you as my brother!
24:42I never thought
24:43she would be so extreme.
24:44Nora saw,
24:45her face a mask
24:46of pitiful beauty,
24:47still trying to
24:48talk her way out.
24:49Shut up!
24:51Leon suddenly lunged,
24:53his hand clamping
24:54around her throat
24:54with such force
24:55that her eyes
24:56immediately began
24:57to roll back.
24:58Save your explanations
25:00for the police.
25:01He loosened his grip
25:02with absolute moving
25:03and Nora collapsed
25:04to the floor
25:05gasping for air.
25:06I have already handed
25:07over the evidence
25:08of your father
25:08breathing hospital staff
25:10and forging records,
25:11along with proof
25:12of your intentional injury
25:14and framing of others,
25:16to the police.
25:17Leon looked down at her,
25:18his eyes holding
25:19nothing but icy disgust.
25:21Fraud,
25:21intentional assault,
25:23defamation.
25:24It's enough to keep you
25:25in prison
25:25for the rest of your life.
25:27No!
25:28Leon!
25:29You can't do this to me!
25:31I saved Layla's life!
25:33Without me,
25:33she would have died
25:34a long time ago!
25:35Nora shrieked,
25:36desperate to grab onto
25:37her last lifeline.
25:39Saved her life?
25:40Leon acted as if he had
25:41just heard the funniest
25:42joke in the world.
25:43A twisted arc formed
25:45at the corner of his mouth,
25:46but his eyes remained
25:47in desolate ways that he did.
25:48If it weren't for
25:49your calculated schemes,
25:50Leia might not have even
25:51needed that transfusion
25:52back then.
25:53Even if she did,
25:54the Valiti family
25:55could have found
25:56plenty of other
25:56suitable donors.
25:57It was you people
25:59sticking to us
26:00like leechers
26:00who ruined her
26:01and ruined me.
26:03He knelt down,
26:04getting close to Nora
26:05and spoke in a slow,
26:06crystal-clear whisper
26:07that only the two
26:08of them feared.
26:10Don't you worry.
26:11Before any of that,
26:13I am going to make sure
26:14you suffer a fate
26:15worse than death.
