00:00Dante, baby, that woman hit me.
00:04Who dared to touch you? I'll break their hands.
00:09Then start with mine, Dante.
00:13He protected the wrong woman.
00:16Donna Valeria and I came to the Moretti family's private island for a few days of rest.
00:21The island wasn't open to the public.
00:23Only registered guests of the family were permitted to stay in the guest wing.
00:26We checked in quietly, choosing not to reveal our identities, wanting nothing more than a low-key getaway.
00:31After settling into our villa, we headed to the guest wing pool.
00:34But a woman dripping in designer labels pinched her nose and sneered at us.
00:38This pool is reserved for the island's VIP guests.
00:41How did two noblesses like you get access?
00:43Sharing the same water with you two? I'm genuinely afraid I'll catch a disease.
00:48Valeria and I exchanged a look. I said coldly.
00:50The guest wing pool is open to every registered guest on this island.
00:53If you can't handle that, take it up with management.
00:56The woman's brows shot up.
00:58You dare talk to me like that?
00:59My husband owns this entire island, and this suite is reserved for me year-round.
01:03I'm ordering you to get out right now.
01:05You reek of poverty. You're contaminating the water.
01:08Valeria and I locked eyes, and we both saw the same ice-cold fury.
01:11This island was under Dante Moretti's name.
01:14So when exactly did he become someone else's husband?
01:16We deliberately kept a low profile, but we hadn't expected to run into this.
01:20Valeria had been a powerhouse her entire life.
01:22She didn't spare the woman a second glance.
01:25Who the hell are you to order us around?
01:28You're the one who should get out.
01:30The only thing reeking here is your complete lack of class.
01:35Valeria turned to me.
01:36Serena, let's keep swimming and ignore her.
01:38When we get back, you and I will ask Dante together what exactly is going on.
01:45The woman's face went crimson at being dismissed, and then a vicious smile crept across her lips.
01:50Fine. Since you love swimming so much, you can stay in the water and never come out.
01:55She made a call, and a hulking man appeared, grinning obsequiously.
01:58Bianca, you called? Want me to teach you some new strokes?
02:03Vince. Go teach these two delusional women a lesson they won't forget.
02:07Vince understood immediately, cracking his knuckles.
02:10Don't worry, Bianca. I used to run combat drills in the water. I know exactly how to break someone in
02:17a pool.
02:17He vaulted into the water and, while Valeria and I were off guard, seized her head with both hands, and
02:22shoved her under.
02:23Valeria was too old to fight his brute strength. She choked instantly, thrashing and clawing at the surface.
02:28I lunged at him to tear him off, but he spun fast, forcing my head under and flooding my lungs
02:33with chlorine.
02:34I finally sank my teeth into his forearm, and only then did he let go.
02:37I pulled Valeria up immediately. Her eyes had rolled back, and she coughed so violently I thought her lungs would
02:43come up.
02:43She fixed the woman with a murderous stare.
02:46Do you understand you could kill someone doing that?
02:49You've just signed your own death warrant.
02:52When my enforcers find out what you've done, the Marachi Council will make you disappear.
02:58The woman shrugged.
02:59So what if someone dies?
03:00My husband runs operations across the country. What he makes in one day could buy your whole bloodline.
03:05You should have found out who I were before you crossed me.
03:10This island was one of many assets Valeria had handed to her son to manage, but Dante had gone further.
03:16He'd replaced the island's security with his own people and instructed the staff to treat this woman as the lady
03:21of the estate.
03:22So that was why she played mistress of the house with such confidence.
03:25Did Dante Moretti have a second wife?
03:27I patted Valeria's back to calm her down, and asked in a low.
03:31Your husband? Is his name Dante Moretti?
03:34She preened, jerping arrogance.
03:35That's right. At least you've heard of him.
03:38If you two get on your knees right now, apologize, and scrub this pool clean, I might consider letting you
03:44go.
03:45When he gets here, you won't walk away from this.
03:48My blood ran cold.
03:49Dante, who had sworn eternal loyalty to me, who had vowed before God and the family to be faithful, had
03:54he truly betrayed me.
03:55My gaze drifted to the lounge chair by the pool.
03:58A single black rose rested on the towel, its stem wrapped in a black ribbon.
04:01I'd seen the same black rose inked across Dante's ribs.
04:04He told me he got it because I loved roses.
04:06A permanent tribute to me.
04:08What a fool I'd been.
04:09Moved to tears over what turned out to be their matching symbol.
04:12Funny because Dante Moretti's wife's name is Serena Val and she sure as hell doesn't look like you.
04:16You're the side piece?
04:18And you have the nerve to be this loud about it?
04:21Call Dante here right now.
04:23I want to see exactly how he plans to make us pay.
04:28My calling her a side piece hit a nerve.
04:29Love doesn't care who came first.
04:31The one who isn't loved is the real outsider.
04:35My husband happens to be on his way to see me right now.
04:37I'll have him here in minutes so don't you dare move.
04:40She dialed and her voice morphed into syrupy sweetness.
04:43Deontay baby, when are you getting here?
04:46I'm at the pool and two older women are bullying me.
04:48I'm scared all alone, come and deal with them for me.
04:51He'll be here in 30 minutes.
04:53You're both dead when he arrived.
04:55Knowing Dante had been faking devotion to my face while sleeping with another woman made my stomach turn.
05:00Valeria could read my expression, and she ground her teeth.
05:03Dante!
05:05That animal!
05:06Just like his father!
05:09Everything I gave him, I can take right back.
05:12Valeria despised infidelity more than anything.
05:15It was her ex-husband's affair with a young model that had ended their marriage, and she'd built the empire
05:20alone.
05:20She never imagined the son she raised would carry the same rotten blood.
05:24And I, Serena Vale, hadn't married Dante from a position of weakness.
05:27My family's name carried just as much weight as his.
05:30Just then, I noticed Valeria's face had gone chalk white.
05:33I quickly took her arm to help her out.
05:35But Bianca flicked her wrist, and Vince launched himself onto the pool deck, planting a savage kick square in Valeria's
05:41chest as she climbed the ladder.
05:42Valeria crashed back into the water, and I dove after her.
05:47Bianca held with laughter from the deck.
05:50You two look like a pair of drowning ducks!
05:52You love the water so much?
05:54Then stay in it!
05:56Vince, don't let them out until my husband arrives.
05:59After that, every time Valeria or I tried to climb out, a boot to the face sent us back in.
06:04Our strength was draining fast.
06:05Valeria was clutching her chest, gasping, unable to speak.
06:09I held her against me and screamed toward the deck.
06:11Are you trying to commit murder? She has a heart condition! Let us out right now!
06:16When Dante gets here, you will regret this!
06:19Vince's face flickered with panic, and he looked to Bianca.
06:22Old women and their little tricks, faking a heart attack now?
06:25You were swimming just fine a minute ago.
06:27Vince, shut off the pool heater. Let's see how long she can keep up the act.
06:32Her audacity made the veins in my temples throb.
06:34I'm warning you. If someone dies in this pool, the Moretti Council will bury this island with you on it.
06:42She picked up a glass of red wine, sipped it casually, and drawled.
06:45Drop the act. If you want out, beg me.
06:49Valeria gripped my arm. Her voice was trembling.
06:51I have never bowed my head to anyone in my life, let alone a worthless creature like her.
06:56Serena, I can hold on. When Dante gets here, I will never forgive him.
07:02Don't worry. Men have ruined my life once already. I will stand on your side.
07:08Seeing we still refused to grovel, Bianca's eyes glinted with malice.
07:12Go to the service freezer and bring two drums of ice. Let's cool them down.
07:17Industrial ice was dumped into the pool, and the temperature plunged.
07:20I was shaking uncontrollably. Valeria's lips had turned purple, and her consciousness was slipping away.
07:25I slapped her face and got no response. I swam for the edge, dragging her with me.
07:29But Vince knocked us back again and again with a metal pole. I screamed until my voice cracked.
07:34She's dying! Let her out! If someone dies in this pool, this entire island operation goes down with it!
07:41Vince took one look at Valeria's face and knew it was real. He turned to Bianca urgently.
07:47Bianca, the older woman looks bad. Maybe let her out. If she dies in the pool, you'll never want to
07:52use it again.
07:54Bianca considered, then sneered.
07:56I said all they had to do was beg, and I'd think about letting them out.
08:00I looked at Valeria's failing body and abandoned every shred of pride.
08:04Please, I'm begging you. Let her out first.
08:09She has a heart condition and she will die.
08:12Didn't you just call me a side piece with no shame?
08:15Say that Serena Vale is nothing.
08:17A wife he never wanted, a woman he'll never touch again.
08:20And that Bianca is the one true Donna of the Moreci Empire.
08:25My nails dug into my palms until they bled.
08:27Serena Vale is nothing.
08:29A wife he never wanted, a woman he'll never touch again.
08:33Bianca is the one true Donna of the Moreci Empire.
08:38Is that enough? Now let her out!
08:40I said I'd think about it, and I've thought about it.
08:44No.
08:46I had no choice but to reveal Valeria's identity.
08:49You've gone too far!
08:51She is Dante Moretti's mother!
08:53If anything happens to her, when Dante arrives, he will end you.
08:58You desperate women will say anything.
09:01Now I'm supposed to believe Dante Moretti's mother, the real Donna,
09:04is splashing around in the guest wing pool with two noblings?
09:06Valeria was trembling in my arms, her breathing fading to almost nothing.
09:11Her heart condition had been pushed past its limit.
09:13Without her emergency medication, she would die.
09:16I screamed, my voice raw.
09:17Help! Somebody help us! She's dying!
09:20There was no one.
09:21Just then, the estate's resort manager came running.
09:24I tore my lungs open screaming at him.
09:27Help us! She's having a heart attack! Pull her out and activate the island medical team!
09:32The manager had met Valeria once years ago, but didn't recognize her now.
09:36One look at her condition told him this was real.
09:39He weighed the cost of crossing Bianca against the cost of a dead body.
09:42Miss Bianca, perhaps we should let them out.
09:45If something does happen, this pool will be a crime scene and you'll never use it again.
09:49Fine.
09:50For your sake, let them out.
09:56Valeria lay motionless on the stone deck.
09:58I sprinted to the changing room for our bag.
10:00With shaking hands, I fumbled out her emergency heart pills and was about to press them into her mouth.
10:05But Bianca kicked the bottle out of my hands, sending pills scattering across the wet stone and into the pool.
10:11She looked at my devastated face and laughed.
10:13Enough with the drama.
10:14I let you out, now get lost.
10:16Kiri launched me forward.
10:17I cracked my palm across Bianca's face with every ounce of rage in my body.
10:21If anything happens to her, I swear on my blood I will make you and Dante pay with everything you
10:26have!
10:26You psycho!
10:27I should have let you both drown!
10:29I lunged at her again, but Vince and the manager seized my shoulders, and Bianca slapped me across the face
10:35over and over.
10:35The searing pain snapped me back to clarity.
10:38Every second wasted was a second closer to Valeria's death.
10:41I wrenched free, grabbed my phone, and dialed Dante.
10:45Dante, mom's having a heart attack, we're at the island pool.
10:48Send the medical team immediately.
10:50If you wait any longer, she's gone.
10:52Your mother has a heart condition, shouldn't she know better than to push herself?
10:56I'm in a meeting, call the medics yourself.
10:58He hung up without hesitation.
11:00I was shaking with fury.
11:01Did he not even realize whose mother I was talking about?
11:04The next second, Bianca let out a delighted squeal toward the entrance.
11:07Dante, baby, you're finally here.
11:13She flung herself into the arms of the man walking in, clinging to him and pouting.
11:17What took you so long?
11:19Those two women were horrible to me.
11:22She showed him the red mark my slap had left, eyes brimming with tears.
11:26That woman hit me so hard my face is swollen.
11:29Make her pay, and then stay with me for a few extra days.
11:33The man examined her cheek, his voice darkening with fury.
11:35Who had the guts to lay a hand on you.
11:38I'll have their hands broken.
11:40Don't worry.
11:41I cleared my entire week just for you.
11:44This was the same man who'd hung up on me minutes ago.
11:46The same man who'd held me the night before, swearing he'd miss me every second.
11:50Every word had been a lie.
11:52Bianca wrapped herself around Dante's waist, parading him over to me.
11:55That's the woman who hit me, and that's her mother on the ground.
11:58Make them suffer.
12:00My voice carved from ice.
12:01Then start with mine, Dante.
12:02He went rigid, the color draining from his face.
12:05Serena, what are you doing here?
12:09I ground my teeth.
12:10If I weren't here, when would I have ever found out about your little island hideaway?
12:14Panic poured off him.
12:16Serena, let me explain.
12:18It's not what you think.
12:20Dante, look at who that is.
12:24Dante's soul visibly left his body.
12:29Mom, mom, what happened to you?
12:32Everyone froze.
12:33Bianca's jaw dropped.
12:34Dante, that's really your mother?
12:37Then who is she?
12:38Is she Serena Val?
12:39The resort manager had gone the color of wet cement, and Vince, remembering what he'd done
12:43to us, could barely stand.
12:45Dante was already on his phone, barking orders to scramble the island's private medical team.
12:49They evacuated Valeria by emergency boat to the mainland hospital, and only after the
12:54doctors confirmed she was out of danger did I let myself breathe.
12:57The doctor's face was grim.
12:58Another minute, and she would have been beyond saving.
13:02Dante had heard the full story by now and was seething at Bianca.
13:05She tried to talk to him several times, and he ignored her completely.
13:08Bianca, unable to stand being sidelined, turned on me.
13:11Serena Vale, you deliberately hid your identities.
13:14You almost got Dante's mother killed.
13:16What kind of monster are you?
13:18You're a boring, frigid woman who Dante never loved.
13:21What do you have besides your family name?
13:23He's mine!
13:24Shut up, Bianca!
13:26Serena is my wife!
13:27That will never change!
13:29I warned you.
13:31If she ever found out about us, it was over.
13:33Get out of here.
13:35Now!
13:35Bianca threw her arms around him, tears flowing on command.
13:38You told me I was the only one who made you feel alive.
13:41You love me!
13:42Why won't you admit it?
13:44Dante shoved her off and barked.
13:46Shut your mouth!
13:47We're done.
13:48Serena's the only woman I love.
13:50You were a mistake.
13:51Guards!
13:52Guards!
13:53Get her out of here!
13:54But Bianca latched onto Dante like a vine.
13:56Since she's so desperate to stay, let her.
13:59We still have unfinished business.
14:04Serena, what are you gonna do?
14:05She's young and stupid.
14:06Don't stoop to her level.
14:08I'll make her leave.
14:09And I swear you'll never see her again.
14:11I looked at him, and every trace of love was gone from my eyes.
14:14How generous of you, Dante.
14:17The woman who nearly killed your own mother, and you're shielding her.
14:20This is all your fault, Serena!
14:23If you told me she was Dante's mother, I never would have done it!
14:26You used his own mother to destroy what we have!
14:30I didn't waste another word.
14:32I told you exactly who she was, and you chose not to believe me.
14:36What you did was attempted murder, and I'm reporting this to the Moretti Council.
14:40Save your excuses for the family tribunal.
14:43I reached for my phone.
14:44Serena, does this really have to go that far?
14:54I said coldly, Dante, would you dare say that to your mother's face?
15:01Serena, stop being unreasonable!
15:03Take it out on me if you want, but going after a young girl, is that the best you can
15:08do?
15:08This ends here.
15:09If you touch her, I'll turn on you myself.
15:11Bianca collapsed dramatically against him.
15:14Dante, I know I was wrong.
15:16I'm so cold, will you take me home?
15:19Dante glanced at me, hesitated, and draped his suit jacket over Bianca's shoulders.
15:24I need to take her back first.
15:26Stay here and watch over my mother.
15:28We'll talk when I return.
15:29I straightened my spine.
15:31There's nothing left to talk about, Dante.
15:33I want a divorce.
15:35Absolutely not.
15:35I will never agree to a divorce.
15:36Then, with one protective arm around Bianca, he walked out of the pool.
15:42Valeria woke not long after, seeing only me at her bedside.
15:46A flicker of disappointment crossed her eyes.
15:48Serena, I'm sorry you had to go through that alone.
15:52Did you see Dante?
15:53Did he come?
15:54He's the one who got you here.
15:56He had something urgent to handle, but he'll be back soon.
15:59I chose my words carefully.
16:01Valeria could hear every lie I was burying beneath my kindness.
16:04And when she opened her eyes again, the iron-willed Donna had returned.
16:08Serena, call him.
16:09If he still considers me his mother, he will be here in the next five minutes.
16:14I calculated the time.
16:15Dante should have dropped Bianca at the resort villa by now.
16:18The phone rang twice before someone picked up.
16:20Serena, you pathetic woman.
16:22Why can't you take a hint and disappear?
16:25Put Dante on.
16:26It's urgent.
16:27Valeria signaled me to switch to speakerphone.
16:30Bianca gave a sly little laugh.
16:31Fine, I'll ask him for you.
16:33But she didn't.
16:34Instead, she quietly put the phone on speaker without telling Dante the line was still open.
16:40We heard Bianca's voice.
16:42By the way, Serena called earlier.
16:45Something about your mother?
16:46Ignore her.
16:47I'll call her back when I leave.
16:48Bianca stretched out her words, derping honey.
16:51You're leaving so soon.
16:53I thought you promised the rest of the night was mine.
16:57You always know how to make me stay.
17:00But shouldn't you go?
17:01What if your mother's condition is worse?
17:03What if she needs you?
17:05She survived worst.
17:06She'll outlive us all.
17:07She can wait.
17:08His low laugh, her voice, the unmistakable intimacy between them, all of it came through the line.
17:13Watching the color drain from Valeria's face, I killed the call.
17:16This time, her heart was truly broken.
17:18Knowing his mother was lying in a hospital bed, Dante had chosen to stay with his mistress and dismissed her
17:24as if she were nothing.
17:24There was no softness left in them.
17:26Serena, call Luca Morelli.
17:29Luca?
17:30My brother's son.
17:31The only man in this family who still understands loyalty.
17:34She inhaled slowly.
17:35Tell him the Donna is awake.
17:38Tell him I need someone I can still trust.
17:45Nearly an hour later, Luca Morelli arrived.
17:48I knew his name, though I had only seen him twice from a distance.
17:51He was the son of Valeria's late younger brother, a Moretti by blood and reputation, quiet, disciplined, and trusted by
17:57the old guard in a way Dante had never bothered to earn.
18:00He did not rush in shouting.
18:01He did not bring flowers, excuses, or panic.
18:04He came in a black coat, rain still clinging to his broad shoulders, with two quiet men behind him and
18:09a doctor already following his orders.
18:11He was tall, dark-haired, and sharply dressed, with the kind of stillness that made Arun lower its voice before
18:17he said a word.
18:17His gaze moved from Valeria's pale face to my wet hair, my bruised arms, the red marks Bianca had left
18:23across my cheek.
18:24He did not stare.
18:25He simply removed his coat and held it out to me.
18:27Serena Val?
18:28I took the coat because my hands were still shaking.
18:31Yes.
18:31I'm Luca Moretti.
18:33Aunt Valeria called for me.
18:34Seal the hospital floor.
18:35No one enters this room without the Donna's permission or Mrs. Val's.
18:38Pull the island security footage.
18:40Find Vince, the resort manager, and every staff member on duty at the pool.
18:43One of the men nodded and left immediately.
18:45Luca looked at the doctor.
18:46Run a second cardiac panel.
18:48I want everything documented.
18:49Valeria watched him from the bed, expression unreadable.
18:52You came fast.
18:54You called?
18:55Luca said simply.
18:56That was all.
18:57No performance.
18:57No drama.
18:58Just presence.
18:59Almost 20 minutes after Luca secured the floor, the door opened again.
19:03Dante strode in with a face arranged into concern, as if he had practiced it in the elevator.
19:08Mom, how are you feeling?
19:09I handled something urgent and came as fast as I could.
19:11His eyes landed on the coat around my shoulders.
19:14Then on Luca, the concern vanished.
19:16Why the hell is she wearing your coat?
19:18Because you gave yours to your island mistress.
19:21The sentence hit the room like a slap.
19:23Dante's jaw clenched.
19:24Watch your mouth.
19:25Valeria's voice cut through the tension.
19:27No, Dante.
19:28You watch yours.
19:29She looked at her son for a long, terrible second.
19:32Sit down.
19:34We need to discuss the woman who nearly killed me.
19:39Dante did not sit.
19:41He stayed near the door.
19:42Hatred sharpening in his eyes as he stared at Luca.
19:44As if Luca's coat, not Bianca's cruelty, was the unforgivable betrayal.
19:48Valeria asked him again, colder this time.
19:51The woman from the pool.
19:54What do you plan to do about her?
19:55Mom, I already dealt with Bianca.
19:57She knows she was wrong.
19:58She panicked.
19:59She didn't understand who you were.
20:01I stared at him.
20:02She understood we were human.
20:03Serena, don't start.
20:04Luca spoke for the first time.
20:06She kicked away emergency heart medication.
20:08Dante's eyes snapped to him.
20:09This is my wife, my mother, and my family matter.
20:12Stay out of it.
20:13Your mother called me because you weren't here.
20:15Luca's tone did not change.
20:17Dante took one step toward him.
20:18You think showing up once makes you loyal?
20:20No.
20:21Luca said.
20:22I think leaving your mother in a hospital bed for your mistress makes you disloyal.
20:25The monitor beside Valeria beeped faster.
20:27I moved toward her, but she lifted one hand, ordering me to stop worrying.
20:31Dante's jaw tightened, but he still tried to make the excuse sound reasonable.
20:35Bianca is young.
20:36She was scared.
20:37She thought you two were harassing her.
20:39I was drowning.
20:41I know, Mom, and I'm sorry, but she didn't mean for it to go that far.
20:43Luca said.
20:44Intent does not disappear because the victim survived.
20:47I told you to shut up!
20:48Enough.
20:49Valeria's eyes sharpened.
20:50Bianca's shrill voice cut through the hallway.
20:52Do you know who I am?
20:54Dante will have you buried for touching me!
20:56Two of Valeria's personal guards dragged her into the room.
20:59Bianca saw Dante first, and her face transformed into helpless innocence.
21:03Dante, baby, tell them to stop!
21:05I only came to apologize!
21:06Dante stepped toward her automatically.
21:09Valeria watched that one movement, and something inside her visibly closed forever.
21:15Bianca slipped behind Dante as if his body were a shield built just for her.
21:19Then she looked at Valeria and gave the most insulting smile I had ever seen.
21:22I'm sorry about yesterday, ma'am.
21:25I had no idea you were Dante's mother.
21:27Valeria did not answer.
21:28Bianca's eyes flicked to me, bright with triumph.
21:30If Serena had just told me properly, none of this would have happened.
21:33I said.
21:33I did tell you.
21:35You screamed it like a crazy woman after attacking me!
21:38The footage will decide that.
21:41What footage?
21:42For the first time since I met her, fear cracked through her face.
21:46Dante noticed it, and still he chose her.
21:48Luca, back off.
21:49I opened my bag, pulled out the divorce agreement my attorney had sent over, and handed it to Dante.
21:54Sign this.
21:55Dante stared at the papers as if I had placed a weapon in his hands.
21:59Serena, don't be ridiculous.
22:01I'm done.
22:02Is this what you wanted?
22:04Waiting outside my marriage like a starving dog?
22:06His gaze darted to Luca.
22:08Luca's eyes cooled, but he did not move.
22:10Sign it because she asked you to.
22:11For once in your life, respect her choice.
22:13Dante's face twisted.
22:14He snapped, the words breaking out of him.
22:16Respect her choice?
22:18You stand here in my family's hospital, beside my wife, wearing that calm little saint act,
22:24and now you're teaching me how to respect her?
22:27His eyes cut to the coat around my shoulders again, hatred sharpening in them.
22:31You think you can replace me?
22:33You think a borrowed coat and a few orders makes you a man?
22:35I looked at him, empty of everything I used to feel.
22:38You chose her.
22:39You protected her.
22:41You left your mother to wait.
22:43My voice turned cold.
22:44Don't drag anyone else into what you destroyed.
22:48Dante flinched.
22:49Then Rage rushed in to save his pride.
22:50Fine.
22:51You want a divorce?
22:52You have one.
22:52Your family will never find a better alliance than the Morettos.
22:55I took the agreement back.
22:57Congratulations to me.
22:59Bianca smiled too soon.
23:00See?
23:01Now he's free.
23:02No, child.
23:03Now he is exposed.
23:08Right on cue, Valeria's enforcers entered the room.
23:11They moved without hesitation, bypassing Dante entirely and seizing Bianca by both arms.
23:16Her smile vanished.
23:17Dante!
23:18Let her go.
23:19Dante stepped in front of them.
23:20I said let her go.
23:21I am your underboss.
23:23No one moved.
23:24We take orders from the Donna, not from you.
23:27The lead enforcer looked at him with no expression at all.
23:29Dante went still.
23:30Bianca stared between them.
23:32Dante what is he talking about?
23:33Her panic rising.
23:35Dante grabbed his phone and tried to open the command channel used by the family's security
23:39network.
23:39Access denied.
23:40He tried his financial authorization app.
23:42Frozen.
23:43He tried the island operations line.
23:45Revoked.
23:45His face lost color with every failed attempt.
23:48Luca watched quietly.
23:49Dante rounded on him.
23:51You planned this.
