00:00Easy right now, got me looking so crazy right now.
00:05Cupid, maybe.
00:09Look who's here.
00:12The new alpha of the Vitarelli wolf pack.
00:15Spit it out. You've got three minutes.
00:18Your father's barely cold in his grave and you won't even see your own uncle.
00:22From now on, the Vitarelli wolf pack stays out of arms dealing.
00:26No more killing. We're legitimate businessmen only.
00:29I know you want to go legit, but without these rackets.
00:33What do our thousands of guys do? Starve?
00:36This is not a negotiation. This is an order.
00:38You're destroying the empire we built? Fine. Then don't expect me to hold back.
00:46Damon, go join your father in hell.
00:53If it weren't for you and your stupid arms deal, my dad would still be alive.
00:56Damon, you really think you're walking away from this today?
01:09Kill him! Kill him now! No one leaves here alive!
01:14Boss, go! I got your back!
01:17Put him down!
01:20Chase him!
01:25Stop!
01:42This way! Go!
01:51Fall back! Now!
01:56I want a proper explanation, or I'm calling the cops!
02:02Hope I survive long enough to go with you.
02:06You're hurt?
02:08Don't move, wolf.
02:14You're a vampire, aren't you? Why save a wolf?
02:17I'm a vampire, but I'm a nurse first. I just stopped the bleeding. If you don't want to die, get
02:21to a hospital ASAP.
02:24I can explain this time. I'm in love with you. Is that reason enough?
02:27Never should have saved the wolf.
02:30Boss, you're hit! Let's get you to the hospital now!
02:33No.
02:34What?
02:35Your shoulder's bleeding out.
02:37She shot me.
02:38Not a bullet.
02:39An angel.
02:41Find her.
02:48Dad, Mom, I'm off to work.
02:53I'll drive you.
02:54It's not far away.
03:01Bye.
03:02Bye.
03:03Bye.

16:05today
16:05that dream has finally come true
16:24freeze
16:25don't fucking move
16:38who the fuck gave you the balls to take my woman
16:52no
16:53don't do it
17:15did there and watched me choke to death
17:18everyone in the pack said i was the saddest woman alive
17:21i was alpha dominic's lowest ranking omega mate
17:25and the least wanted
17:26the day i gave birth
17:28luna victoria took my son from me
17:30before i'd even held him properly
17:32i didn't fight her
17:34victoria was the luna
17:36powerful
17:38respected
17:38my son would have a better life with her than he ever would with me
17:42years later
17:43a pack of rogues attacked our territory
17:46i threw myself in front of dominic
17:49the slash meant for his throat tore across my back instead
17:52he said i had earned a reward
17:54i could choose one of his sons
17:56raise him myself
17:58i chose logan
18:00my blood
18:01my child
18:02i raised him for 20 years
18:05and on the night he was named alpha heir
18:07he walked into my room carrying a glass of wine laced with wolfsbane
18:11i couldn't move
18:13the poison paralyzed me
18:15my wolf hauled inside me
18:17fought like hell
18:18but it couldn't save me
18:20logan stood over me and watched foam spill from my mouth
18:24his eyes were cold
18:25if you'd left me with luna victoria i'd already be heir
18:29all you ever did was drag me down
18:31the last thing i saw was his face
18:33no guilt
18:35no hesitation
18:36just disgust
18:38then everything went black
18:41when i opened my eyes again
18:43i was standing in the great hall
18:45same stone walls
18:47same firelight
18:48same five boys lined up in front of the alpha's chair
18:52alpha dominic sat above them
18:54selene
18:55you saved my life
18:57you may choose one of my sons to raise
18:59my heart slammed
19:01i looked at the line
19:03logan stood first
19:05dressed in the fine clothes victoria had picked for him
19:08that look in his eyes
19:10impatience
19:11barely hidden
19:13last time
19:14i was so happy i missed the look in his eyes
19:17now it was impossible to miss
19:19my stomach turned
19:21i swallowed the nausea and forced myself to look past him
19:25past the second son
19:26past the third
19:28at the end of the line
19:30below the steps
19:31stood a boy no one looked at
19:33fin
19:34head down
19:35kyle
19:36the fourth son
19:38his mother
19:39lyra
19:39had been executed for breaking pack law
19:42after that
19:43no one wanted him
19:44the servant said he was cursed
19:46he was treated worse than the lowest omega in the manor
19:49thrown away
19:51hated just for being there
19:53i knew that feeling too well
19:55i took a breath
19:57raised my hand
19:58pointed straight at him
20:00i want him
20:01the hall went dead silent
20:03every head turned toward me
20:05like i'd lost my mind
20:07alpha dominic stared at me for a long moment
20:10then he let out a short breath
20:12almost a laugh
20:13kyle
20:14fine
20:15he's quiet
20:17you're steady
20:18that should work
20:21take good care of him
20:22right there in the hall
20:23he raised me to a beta ranking mate
20:26small promotion
20:27still more than i'd gotten in six years
20:30but i knew the truth
20:31he wasn't rewarding me
20:33he was relieved
20:35i picked the son no one wanted
20:37when the meeting ended
20:39i walked over to kyle
20:41he was still standing there with his head down
20:43like he still didn't believe i meant him
20:53i took him back to birch cabin
20:55my place on the far edge of the pack estate
20:58a tiny wooden cabin
21:00two rooms
21:01a fireplace that smoked every time the wind blew in
21:05not much
21:06but it was mine
21:11kyle
21:11this is your home now
21:14i'll take care of you
21:16he didn't answer
21:18but when i turned to leave
21:20his fingers caught my sleeve
21:22tight
21:24kyle wasn't dark and difficult like people said
21:27he was quiet
21:29so quiet
21:30sometimes i forgot he was even in the room
21:32i didn't mind
21:34in this life
21:35i didn't want power
21:37i didn't want the alpha's favor
21:39i just wanted to stay out of trouble
21:42raise this boy
21:43and die peacefully
21:45when i got old
21:46if he came to see me once in a while
21:49that would be enough
21:50every day
21:51kyle went to the training yard with the other boys
21:54combat in the morning
21:55lessons in the afternoon
21:57one day
21:59i baked a batch of cookies and took them over
22:02i spotted him right away
22:04he was sitting alone under a big oak tree reading
22:07across the yard
22:08logan kicked a ball with the other boys around him
22:11like planets around the sun
22:13logan had grown up at luna victoria's side
22:16best clothes
22:18best food
22:19best of everything
22:20every child in the pack knew which side to stand on
22:24last time
22:25i dragged him away from all of it
22:27made him follow a nobody omega mother
22:30no wonder he hated me
22:31i sat down beside kyle and set the box on the stone bench
22:35he looked up
22:36a flicker of surprise crossed his face
22:39hungry
22:40i opened the lid
22:41they're fresh
22:43still warm
22:44kyle started to speak
22:46but a sharp voice cut him off
22:48why are you here again
22:50logan walked over
22:51looking at the cookies like they were trash
22:53the pack kitchen feeds strays better than that
22:56stop coming here and embarrassing yourself
22:58before i could speak
23:00kyle stood up
23:01he stepped between us
23:03logan
23:04she's your mother
23:05you can't talk to her like that
23:07logan let out a mean little laugh
23:10my mother is luna victoria
23:12this woman is nothing
23:13he flicked a hand at the cookie box
23:16take your garbage and go
23:17stop bothering me
23:20i pulled kyle behind me
23:22you've got that wrong
23:24i'm kyle's mother
23:25these cookies are for kyle
23:28i bent down
23:29picked one up
23:30and held it out to kyle

23:33logan's face froze
23:35he'd never imagined i'd choose kyle over him
23:38kyle took a bite
23:40a small smile touched his mouth
23:42it's good mom
23:43thank you
23:44i smiled back
23:46good

23:48then i looked at the boys behind logan
23:51you boys want one
23:52they were six
23:53at that age
23:55a cookie is a cookie
23:56two of them were already reaching out
23:59don't touch it
24:00logan slapped their hands away
24:02it's garbage
24:03the kitchen throws out better food than this
24:06only losers with no taste would eat that
24:09then he glared at me
24:11good
24:11you picked him
24:13don't come crawling back when you regret it
24:15i looked at logan
24:17red-faced and furious
24:18trying to act like he didn't care
24:20i almost laughed
24:22i promise
24:23kyle is my only son
24:25everything i have goes to him
24:28logan went pale
24:30he stomped off and yelled at the others
24:33what are you staring at
24:35move
24:35he ran off
24:37the other boys scrambled after him
24:39that night
24:40i tucked kyle into bed
24:42i thought he was asleep
24:43then he spoke
24:45mom
24:45tomorrow

24:50something in me melted
24:51i will
24:53the day after
24:55every day
24:57kyle smiled for real
24:59then went to sleep
25:01the next afternoon
25:03i brought cookies to the yard again
25:05but the place was too quiet
25:07then i saw it
25:09kyle stood by the lake
25:11four pack guards had him boxed in
25:13logan sat on a rock above them
25:15hey little brother
25:17he pointed at the cold gray water
25:20my ball fell in
25:21go get it
25:24the lake wasn't deep
25:26but it was late fall
25:27that water cut like ice
25:29kyle said nothing
25:31he didn't move
25:33logan's smile vanished
25:35like a spoiled kid hearing no for the first time
25:38he jumped off the rock and yards turned toward the trees at the exact same time
25:42like they'd seen nothing
25:44i didn't think
25:46i dropped the cookies and jumped in
25:48the cold hit me like a wall
25:50my muscles locked up
25:52my legs went numb
25:54around kyle's shaking body
25:55you pushed him
25:57he's your brother
25:58what the hell is wrong with you
26:20listening to the ambiguous moans and faint running water over the phone
26:24i smiled bitterly
26:25my husband ethan was so cold-blooded
26:27but he had no idea
26:29the dead weren't my parents
26:30they were his
26:31a snake attack at the campsite left his entire family clinging for life
26:35only his company had the specific anti-venom
26:38i called him countless times
26:40he hung up every single one
26:42delayed treatment killed them all
26:44i stared at the five bodies behind me
26:46sighed
26:46by the time i got to the hospital
26:48ethan's entire family was already on the verge of death
26:51the doctor pulled me aside
26:52this species of snake
26:53is extremely rare
26:55the only facility with the specific anti-venom
26:58is your husband's company
26:59i called ethan like crazy
27:02he rejected every single call
27:04on the hundredth try
27:05he finally answered
27:08it's sophia's birthday tonight
27:09i'm spending it with her
27:10stop being so paranoid
27:12i kept thinking about his family in the er
27:14i swallowed every question burning in my throat
27:17and said quickly
27:18your mom your dad your sister they were all bitten
27:20the hospital doesn't have this anti-venom
27:22your company does please bring it now

27:30what am i your personal bank
27:32take a good hard look at yourself
27:35he hung up without mercy
27:36then blocked me
27:37i sat frozen in a hospital chair
27:39i couldn't make myself believe those words had just come out of my husband's mouth
27:43he probably didn't even have the patience to listen to what i was saying
27:46then my phone buzzed suddenly
27:48a chanel boutique alert popped up
27:50the limited birthday bag my parents had reserved
27:52nearly a million dollars in value
27:55just picked up by my husband
27:56i didn't even have to guess
27:58that bag was on sophia's arm right now
28:00stealing my things to give to the woman he loved
28:03he'd done it so many times
28:04every time i said something
28:06he'd roll his eyes
28:07you're married
28:08walking around with a bag like that just makes you look desperate
28:10let sophia use it
28:11she's closing a deal
28:12don't be petty
28:12sophia's basically my sister
28:14if you love me
28:15you'll support how i take care of her
28:16if you love me
28:17you'll support how i take care of her
28:18he put sophia on a pedestal
28:20designer bags on demand
28:21sports cars
28:21a penthouse
28:22and me
28:23his actual wife
28:24i couldn't even get a handful of life-saving vials
28:27what a joke
28:27i was still typing a message to the boutique when ethan posted on instagram
28:31the most expensive bag for the most important person
28:34tonight belongs to us
28:36sophia's post followed seconds later
28:38my night promised to always stay
28:40your medicine didn't just save my family
28:42it saved my heart
28:43the photo
28:44the two of them pressed close smiling
28:46a vial of anti-venom raised in her hand like a trophy
28:49while ethan was spending lavishly on sophia
28:52his own family was waiting to die
28:54the er doors slid open
28:55the doctor walked out
28:57mask already down
28:58i rushed over
28:59give me a little more time
29:00i'll get the anti-venom here i swear
29:02there's no need
29:04all five patients are gone
29:05i'm so sorry for your loss
29:08my nose burned
29:09my chest caved in
29:10two hours ago they'd been laughing
29:11now five bodies lay cold in the morgue
29:14while they're
29:14i held back my tears and messaged the boutique
29:16i never came in to pick anything up
29:18please contact the police
29:20the doctor had mentioned this particular snake
29:22was nearly extinct in the country
29:24because of that
29:25no hospital stalked the anti-venom
29:27a little too convenient
29:28a near extinct snake in their tent
29:30five people dead
29:32the police took it seriously and moved fast
29:35they traced it quickly
29:36someone had bulk ordered live snakes online
29:38and released them at the campsite
29:40the suspects were sophia's parents
29:42i hoped ethan wouldn't cry too ugly when he found out
29:45ma'am we have a clear picture of what happened
29:46but both suspects are currently hospitalized
29:49we can't bring them in for questioning just yet
29:51now i knew why sophia was holding the serum in that picture
29:54i kept my face blank
29:56but the venom's already been treated
29:58nothing's stopping you from questioning them now
29:59he gave me a long look
30:01clearly wondering how i knew but didn't push
30:03i must have looked too hollowed out
30:05we'll get to the truth
30:06after he left i filed a civil lawsuit on my phone
30:08right then ethan called
30:10what the hell is your problem
30:11i'm your husband i picked up a bag for you
30:13now you're reporting it stolen
30:15are you insane
30:16one accusation after another
30:17no pause
30:18no care for anything i was going through right now
30:19i cut through it
30:20cold and quiet
30:21i never got that bag ethan
30:23you said you picked it up
30:24where is it now
30:26it stretched out long enough to answer the question
30:28his voice softened
30:29that calculated shift i knew too well
30:31we're husband and wife and everything though shared
30:34you won't have dinner
30:35caim out out of here
30:37sophia just wants this bag to nay her birthday
30:40and i just want to make her happy
30:42your husband's card
30:43don't be like this absolutely shameless
30:45the feeling of giving is wonderful
30:47so don't be so stingy
30:49if you want to buy her something
30:51why don't you use your own money
30:53oh right because you're completely useless
30:55how dare you say i'm good for nothing are you crazy
30:57before i always watched my words around him
31:00always protected his ego like it was something fragile
31:03looking back now
31:04his skin was thicker than a wall
31:06if you're a man
31:07go to the hospital morgue now and see the evil you've done
31:10they're already dead
31:11and i can't save them
31:13don't spoil
31:14don't my kishin
31:17first bent cream at your parents
31:18don't up their bodies
31:20give my companies for the atopsamal
31:21sophia's parents had an accident
31:23and she is on the verge of collapse
31:24she needs someone to accompany her
31:26i laughed
31:28so he thought it was my family
31:29i'd been planning to give his parents a proper burial as soon as possible
31:33instead i ordered five industrial freezer units
31:36per ethan's request i sent his entire family to his company
31:39i'd been home barely 10 minutes when ethan burst in and slapped me across the face
31:45sophia's hysterical her parents just got out of surgery and you're already suing them
31:48do you even have a conscience
31:50at least they're alive
31:52the people their snakes killed are still lying in those freezers
31:55something flickered in ethan's eyes that was my anti-venom i give it to whoever i want
31:59your parents had no business going camping
32:03they got bitten that's on them
32:06sophia's parents are sitting in a hospital being questioned by detectives
32:10because of your lawsuit
32:13can't you show a little mercy to the living
32:14maybe your parents getting bitten was karma for you being so cold-hearted
32:19maybe this was just your parents fate if it wasn't a snake something else would have taken them out
32:24your whole family is gone now i'm all you have left don't be ungrateful
32:32sienna i know you're hurting but the dead are gone the living have to keep going
32:38sophia is willing to offer compensation i'll top it up a million dollars total that's enough isn't it
32:45he said it like he was talking about the weather five lives in their eyes worth a million dollars
32:50ethan was spoiled rotten by his parents his whole life thinking about the moment he'd open those
32:55freezers and see their faces i couldn't help but wear a sorrowful smile
32:59what's so funny stop playing games will you agree to my terms ethan didn't have the patience to let
33:04me finish after all i wiped the corner of my eye still smiling okay transfer it then payment received
33:09one million dollars ethan had covered the rest almost certainly every dollar of liquid cash his
33:15company had left he watched me accept it i should tell you this morning i signed a formal letter of
33:20non-prosecution on your behalf as your husband sophia's parents are already off the hook you should be
33:25thanking sophia for being so generous without her you wouldn't have seen a dime now go tell the police
33:30the theft report was in state i reached into the nightstand drawer and pulled out the divorce
33:35agreement i'd drawn up that morning sign it return my bag we're done or i come after you too
33:41you're divorcing me over this i could see the calculation behind the rage he needed my father's
33:46connections but he also thought my father was dead and no longer of any use to him called after him
33:51checked his signature carefully everything in order ethan there's a waiting period we're technically
33:58still married come with me to your company say goodbye to your family one last time we arrived at
34:04his company together i was certain ethan's mind was on sophia and he still hadn't heard a word i said
34:09the basement ran cold the chill hit me the moment i stepped in five bodies lay in a row covered
34:16in white
34:16sheet my company is not a dump mom dad i'm so sorry and ava marcus what the are you talking
34:23about say
34:24it again if i'm lying i said go look for yourself he stood there for a long moment then he
34:32moved toward
34:32the nearest stretcher slowly his hands were shaking so badly he could barely grip the sheet
34:58mafia's tradition whoever gives me an orchid marries me i stood in the hall with 11 other men waiting
35:04to be chosen no orchid tonight i'd be forced to marriage her in new york rumors said she burned
35:09through a new guy every single night one night one man then gone i had only one way out charlotte
35:16we grew up together she was the chase family heir and i was a casino mogul's illegitimate son
35:21in this city only she dared give me that flower last night i'd asked her for a fake marriage three
35:27years
35:27was enough to build something for myself after that she could love whoever she wanted she'd said yes
35:32now she smiled and walked toward me
35:38i let out my hand then she pressed her orchid into tyler's hands instead
35:45i stood frozen let tyler have his moment he's never had one don't worry no one's arranging anything
35:52for you while i'm around i watched tyler take her arm they looked like a couple
35:57i stood alone she came back with champagne laughing these people honestly i told them
36:03to save you at least one flower i looked at the girl i'd grown up beside do you understand what
36:08this gala actually is she didn't answer charlotte was the only one who would have chosen me she chose
36:14someone else the room kept moving i felt very still was over charlotte's expression shifted a faint
36:20flicker of guilt crossing her face she waved tyler off look you're used to these events but tyler's
36:27never had anything like this i just wanted to give him one good night consider it a favor from me
36:31you're not really upset are you it's one night i said nothing it's his graduation after tonight i
36:37can't sponsor him anymore i promised him one memory worth keep
36:40ethan i'm sorry if i got in the way don't be angry at charlotte i begged her to charlotte caught
36:43tyler's awkward expression and her eyes cooled slightly ethan it's one flower i'll give you
36:47another one you're more of a rose anyway getting worked up over one orclet isn't like you i suppose
36:53that tracked an orchid meant purity it symbolized the acceptance of a family a rose passionate showy
37:00like a clandestine lover the laughter around me grew louder
37:06a bastard son who follows charlotte around like a lap dog and he thought he'd actually marry into
37:12the chase family and that was a suss family even the scholarship kid outranks him charlotte silenced
37:19them with a glare but it was already enough to humiliate me ethan i'm sorry you were born into
37:25wealth while i just wanted a memorable night born into wealth i'm a bastard son do you have any idea
37:31how
37:32this family actually treats me tyler froze startled by me my bad but i was the only one who caught
37:39the
37:40cunning flash in his eyes it's already done i'll take you to get changed and ethan you can head home
37:47if
37:47you want home where exactly was that supposed to be then they left vanessa lee appeared almost instantly
37:54you smell amazing mr holt charlotte told me to give you an orchid i didn't i told you stop chasing
38:02her
38:03and try me instead but you never listened how's it feel now embarrassing right you this woman despised
38:11me i just needed three years i just needed three years enough leverage to break free from my family's
38:16control but my stepmother couldn't stand the sight of me she was already rushing to throw me out
38:24ethan holt if you weren't so pretty you'd be nothing you really think the chase family is going
38:30to protect you forever vanessa don't touch what's mine i thought you picked the scholarship kid why are
38:37you still keeping ethan around my business not yours why didn't you do anything i felt nothing but deep
38:45tired disappointment wasn't this what you arranged i can look out for you and still talk to other people
38:51ethan i'm not required to stand next to you all night but you know what tonight's gala means can
38:55we get some drinks is that okay sure tonight's yours whatever you want whatever it is we'll talk
38:59tomorrow i'll come find you i almost laughed out loud tomorrow you'll have to find me in new york
39:06the shyness he wore earlier was gone replaced by something colder you have everything mr holt do you
39:12really need to take this too i should never have helped charlotte choose him for that scholarship
39:17you grew up with everything you could want all i wanted was one night under charlotte's protection
39:25i let out a quiet sneer you think i had it better than you my mother died young
39:32i was brought back to the holt house just a child my stepmother looked at me like i shouldn't exist
39:37from the very first day my father had too many wives too many children to care about one more i
39:43learned
39:44early how to read a room how to make myself useful i found aunt diana in the margins i convinced
39:50her to
39:50train me to back me i stood in front of her forcing my hands to stay still father has over
39:5520 children
39:56why would i believe a bastard son can beat all of them because i have no weakness
40:02and i'm willing to fight dirty but my time hadn't come yet diana wouldn't move for me not now everyone
40:09said my fiancee from the quinn family was a deadly poisonous flower my family wanted the alliance but
40:16not the cost they wouldn't sacrifice a true heir so they offered me diana had already heard how the
40:21gala ended a message arrived figure it out yourself i needed a solution well can you get the orchid back
40:29from tyler just for one night i'll return it in the morning charlotte blink clearly caught off guard
40:34that's a bit awkward isn't it i already gave it stop trying to take things from tyler the orchid had
40:39a gold trimmed edge custom made there was no replacing it the restraint i'd held all night
40:44finally snapped charlotte you promised why did you have to humiliate me tonight of all nights
40:51ethan no one in this city will touch you the only person who could ever want you is me
40:56everyone knows you're my little shadow her little shadow her lapdog i had played that role for years
41:01just to survive but hearing her say it so casually like it meant nothing it hit harder than i expected
41:07don't be angry at charlotte ethan ethan one night stop being difficult tomorrow he goes back to his
41:12normal life i gave charlotte a long lingering look then turned and walked out of the gala aunt diana's
41:18car was already waiting outside you lost tomorrow you go to new york what happens after that is your
41:23problem i'll come back we'll see
41:45the tank burst the wave slammed me across the floor yet my fiance now held another woman in his arms
41:52and
41:52all of this was because his younger sister lila and i were caught in a rip current off puget sound
41:57i was saved lila lost her life the blackwood family thinks it was me who had killed their biological
42:03daughter why are you still alive you should have been the one who drowned you killed my daughter
42:10killia tossed my ring shredded my wedding gown and agreed to marry serena the next day coming home
42:16from the hospital i saw killian slicing our wedding portrait with a knife
42:20serena's moving in time to clear all this trash out serena vanderbilt his arranged marriage fiance
42:26after throwing all this away are you gonna kick me out next you said you were dying of your illness
42:32didn't you then it's only fitting you go to atone for lila in death my body turned rigid when i
42:37heard
42:37those words killian blackwood was the unloved blackwood's son raised outside the manor walls from
42:42childhood i had given this brooding boy next door a single piece of candy because of that one small
42:47sweetness after my parents died in an earthquake killian protected me for 15 years countless days
42:53of depending on each other i fell in love with the man who held me at 20 i had written
42:58a hundred
42:58love letters and confided my longing to my best friend chloe reed never did i expect chloe to tell
43:03killian everything that night he made me take out the letters and read them aloud to him i'm sorry
43:08i'll never dare to whiber any improper thoughts again from now on i'll treat you as my elder brother
43:14for 15 years it wasn't that you needed me to raise you was that i needed your company that same
43:20year
43:20the blackwoods came to bring him home but they wouldn't accept me because the blackwood house
43:24could not hold two daughters killian put the messenger on the floor and looked at his father
43:29arthur blackwood no her no me i knew how desperately killian longed to return home yet he chose to stand
43:36by
43:36my side even at the cost of breaking with his family we dated five years before marrying with
43:42approval his sister lila despised me to ease the tension killian brought lila with us on our coastal
43:48wedding photo shoot after the photo shoot i saw lila in the rip current i rushed to save her without
43:53hesitation i survived but lila perished the blackwoods blamed me saying the adopted daughter had doomed
44:00their own child do you think it was my fault too you both went into the water you survived she
44:06didn't
44:06to this family that's a crime i knelt for three days and nights begging for their forgiveness however
44:12all i got was a miscarriage that night i was diagnosed with cancer i called killian he thought
44:18i was faking sick to trick him to punish me he burned my 1999 love letters right in front of
44:24me
44:24then froze my bank card what burned to ashes was not only my true love but also my desire to
44:30survive
44:31that night killian stumbled home drunk demanding something to sober up when i passed him the
44:36hangover soup i spotted my favorite lemon tarts on the table he shoved me away put those down
44:43they're for serena what are you doing so close still trying to lure me you're drunk i'm making
44:49you sobering soup sorry i was too drunk i mistook you for serena he got up and pushed me away
44:56he'd never
44:56been so cold to me nor so rough killian didn't spare me a glance walked upstairs and slammed the door
45:02everything changed the day lila died i knew he hated me for living yet i could do nothing the light
45:07was still on in killian's room i knocked softly coming to a man's room this late do you have any
45:12sense at all we're broken up i want to move out stop you from spouting nonsense you must stay here
45:18until
45:18i marry serena can i at least move to the lower level it's up to you i turned and walked
45:25back to
45:26my room in silence i didn't understand his anger lila was gone forever how could i possibly live here
45:33in peace this forced stay gave me time to ease myself into preparing to leave the next morning
45:39passing through the living room i heard killian talking on the phone with serena killian caught
45:44sight of me suddenly then ended the call where are you going i'll drive you i froze before i could
45:50answer he was already walking out to the garage he leaned on the horn are you getting in or do
45:55you
45:55want me to carry you i i can't sit up front what serena said that's her seat even siblings don't

46:13thank you something unnamed moved through him what are you gonna do i didn't answer killian
46:17didn't push when serena called he laughed and softened turning into someone i barely recognized
46:23i just bought us matching pajamas i'll model them tonight as their words grew bolder and more
46:28explicit killian pulled into the emergency lane get out serena's waiting me
46:55a destitute stripper who suffers from bills
47:01three months ago i'd been planning to audition for the new york ballet company now i was applying glitter
47:07to my skin for men who would tuck dollar bills into my g-string three months ago the wedding day
47:11of me and a man i had never met ethan pacheco a marriage i wanted no part of i had
47:16slipped away
47:17while the guests were arriving needing a moment to breathe to think i had wandered aimlessly until i
47:22heard sounds coming from one of the guest bedrooms although the man had his back to me i knew he
47:27must be
47:27my fiancee who i had never met without twice thought i drived away from the estate away from ethan pacheco
47:33and
47:33the future that had been decided for me i ended up at a bar downtown in the late night drowning
47:38my
47:38sorrows in tequila shots that's when he appeared beside me
47:50bad day
47:54the worst
48:00i'm ethan
48:03of course you are
48:05i uh
48:07i'm running away from one ethan tonight i don't need another
48:10i had laughed then a bitter hollow sound the funny thing was with all the drama going on i still
48:17didn't know what my fiancee looked like but this guy had been charming attentive and i'd been vulnerable
48:22hurt and increasingly drunk when he suggested we get a room at the hotel next door i hadn't said no
48:43with nothing but a lingering hangover and the crushing realization that i couldn't go home again
48:48not to face my father's disappointment so i disappeared cutting off contact with everyone
48:52from my old life my savings hadn't lasted long now i had to dance in a bar to earn money
48:57the bar had
48:58been booked out by the owner tonight he was going to hold an important party in the vip room
49:05those eyes almond shaped hazel with flecks of gold exactly like no oh god no this can't be happening
49:13that night at the bar my one night stand is my boss and ex-fiance his eyes met mine and
49:18the world stopped spinning
49:23stop staring at the boss are you crazy
49:28i immediately dropped my gaze the tiny sequined outfit left little to the imagination but it was
49:34better than being completely naked i needed this job rent wasn't going to pay itself did he recognize me
49:40shouldn't your older brother be running this meeting i can't imagine your father henry's crazy enough
49:47to let a 23 year old handle business this magnitude
49:52everyone turned to gauge ethan's reaction the tension thick enough to cut with a knife
49:58care to guess why i'm the heir while my big brother works under me you're not in any position to
50:04question
50:04my capabilities the man's face reddened he wisely kept his mouth shut the meeting dragged on numbers
50:10and threats mixing with the heavy beat of the music i felt increasingly lightheaded the room started to
50:16spin or was i the one spinning
50:21i landed hard on the floor right in front of the gathered crime family bosses is this how you dance
50:26you worthless slit ruining our evening with your amateur bullshit i looked up to see an ugly older
50:33man in the corner he pulled out a thick wad of cash throwing it on the ground bills scattered across
50:38the floor like fallen leaves if you don't want to lose those pretty legs of yours crawl over here and
50:44give me a proper lap dance and don't stop until every piece of that costume is on the floor
51:02you
