Short filmTranscript
00:12The new alpha of the Vitarelli Wolfpack. Spit it out. You've got three minutes. Your father's
00:19barely cold in his grave and you won't even see your own uncle. From now on, the Vitarelli
00:24Wolfpack stays out of arms dealing. No more killing. We're legitimate businessman only.
00:30I know you want to go legit, but without these rackets. What do our thousands of guys do?
00:36Starve? This is not a negotiation. This is an order. You're destroying the empire we built?
00:40Fine. Then don't expect me to hold back. Damon, go join your father in hell.
00:53If it weren't for you and your stupid arms deal, my dad would still be alive.
00:57Damon, you really think you're walking away from this today?
01:10Kill him! Kill him now! No one leaves here alive!
01:14Boss, go! I got your back!
01:18Put him down!
01:21Chase him!
01:26Stop!
01:44This way! Go!
01:52Fall back! Now!
01:56I want a proper explanation, or I'm calling the cops!
02:02Hope I survive long enough to go with you.
02:07You're hurt? Don'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
02:22to a hospital ASAP.
02:24I can explain this time. I'm in love with you. Is that reason enough?
02:28Never should have saved the wolf!
02:31Boss, you're hit! Let's get you to the hospital now!
02:34No.
02:35What?
02:35Your shoulder's bleeding out!
02:37She shot me.
02:38Not a bullet.
02:40An angel.
02:42Find her.
02:49Dad, Mom, I'm off to work.
02:53I'll drive you.
02:54It's not far away.
02:59It's not far away.
03:25Mrs. Hastings, we meet again.
03:27Who the hell are you guys? Watch your mouth talking to our boss? Ever heard of the Hong Gang?
03:32I'm just a regular businessman now.
03:34You're Damon?
03:35That's right. I'm here to tell you. I want your daughter.
03:39What does that mean?
03:41It means I'm going to marry her. Father-in-law.
03:43I am not your father-in-law!
03:46How did their family get mixed up with a werewolf? That werewolf doesn't look like a good guy.
03:50Go away!
03:53You must be joking! My daughter will never marry a werewolf!
03:57I'm not joking.
03:59I'm marrying her no matter what.
04:01In your dreams!
04:03Are you going to invite me in for a chat?
04:07Father-in-law.
04:10Come in.
04:18I'm a cop. I will never marry my daughter off to a gangster!
04:23A cop?
04:25Then you should be even more eager to marry her to me.
04:31Look at this place. It's a dump.
04:33How much do you make a month as a cop?
04:35Can you even give her a decent life?
04:38But don't worry.
04:39Marry her to me, and I'll make your whole family rich overnight.
04:45Over my dead body!
04:47Marriage is not a game.
04:48You don't even know my daughter.
04:50Besides, you're different species.
04:52How can you even think about this?
04:54Mother-in-law, if I want to.
04:56Everyone in Hansham is transparent to me.
04:58And there's no bad blood between werewolves and vampires anymore.
05:03Then you should know my family has been cops for three generations!
05:07My son died taking down a werewolf gang!
05:11How dare you make such an outrageous demand!
05:14You got it wrong.
05:16This isn't a demand.
05:18It's a notice.
05:20I'll come pick you up in a few days.
05:24Get ready.
05:27I'm already engaged.
05:32Oh yeah?
05:33That'll be cancelled soon.
05:36Serena!
05:38Caleb!
05:44This is your fiancé?
05:46Who the hell are you?
05:47As of today, you are single.
05:51That's what happened.
05:53I had no idea he was Damon.
05:58You two need to get married as soon as possible.
06:01I agree.
06:03Will that work?
06:04It's Damon we're talking about.
06:06So what?
06:07I don't believe he'd dare kidnap someone right under a cop's nose.
06:14Don't worry, Serena.
06:15I'll protect you.
06:28You look even more charming when you're working.
06:39What the hell do you want?
06:41I already know you very well.
06:43And I think it's time my fiancé got to know me too.
06:47Three years ago, you were at war with the Tiger Gang.
06:50My brother.
06:52Andrew died on the spot.
06:54And my dad got shot in the leg.
06:56If you really knew me,
06:59how dare you even stand here?
07:03Andrew's death was an accident.
07:07Since I took over the family,
07:08we haven't done anything illegal.
07:10You think that will change the past?
07:12Mrs. Hastings,
07:13the largest real estate,
07:15telecom,
07:16and oil companies in this city are all mine.
07:20Do you know how many people count on me?
07:23Do you think that makes you a philanthropist?
07:29Mr. Vitarelli!
07:31Thank you so much for your generous donation
07:33to our medical fund.
07:35You are such a philanthropist.
07:37This was all
07:39Mrs. Hastings' idea.
07:41She's deeply passionate about health care.
07:44You should give her a raise.
07:45Sure!
07:46A five-fold raise.
07:51Sir, may I borrow Ms. Hastings for half a day?
07:54No problem at all.
07:57I'm busy.
08:02Serena, you're free to go.
08:06Sir!
08:07You'll be getting a new hospital ring.
08:09Oh, thank you so much.
08:17Put me down!
08:18Put me down!
08:19Put me down!
08:20Put me down!
08:22Hope to see you again!
08:24Put me down right now!
08:27Put me down!
08:31What the hell are you doing?
08:33You're insane!
08:40Don't test my patience.
08:41You're insane!
08:48I have a gift for you.
08:49I have a gift for you.
09:09Do you like it?
09:10Do you like it?
09:12You're invading my privacy!
09:22Everything about you is mine.
09:27And everything I have is yours.
09:30See that?
09:32All those buildings belong to me.
09:34If you ask, I'll give them all to you.
09:40But if you try to run, I swear, I'll scour the city to find you.
09:56You think you can buy everything, including love.
10:01As long as I'm rich enough.
10:02Mr. Vitarelli, you are rich.
10:05But I pity you.
10:07Because in love, you're actually quite poor.
10:11Do you know what you're saying?
10:12I'm aware.
10:14You repulse me.
10:21Speak.
10:31What was so urgent that you had to call me back?
10:33Damon!
10:34Sophia is back in the country!
10:36Sophia?
10:37Who is that?
10:40You met her before, dear.
10:41She's my niece.
10:43Is that so?
10:44I don't really remember.
10:52Damon, you're not getting any younger.
10:54Your father cared most about your marriage before he passed.
10:58Sophia comes from a good family and has a nice personality.
11:01If you two settle down soon, I can finally have an explanation.
11:05Mom, I already have someone I want to marry.
11:08What?
11:10Oh?
11:11Really?
11:13Is...
11:13Which family is she from?
11:16When will you bring her back to meet us?
11:19On the wedding day, you'll find out.
11:30Mom!
11:31Damon isn't your biological son after all.
11:33If he doesn't marry Sophia, won't our family's property be taken advantage of by an outsider?
11:36Be quiet!
11:37Do you want everyone to hear you?
11:44First, go find out who the woman he's talking about is.
11:47I don't believe we can't ruin this marriage.
11:55Are you insane?
11:56Do you know who that is?
11:57Damon!
11:58The werewolf alpha who runs this entire city!
12:02I'm not kidding.
12:03I have to marry Serena.
12:05Do you want to get us killed?
12:07Once I'm married to Serena, what can he do?
12:10This is a law-based society.
12:12Why are you so stubborn?
12:16Mom, Serena and I grew up together.
12:18She needs me now.
12:20I have to marry her.
12:23Come back!
12:25This woman?
12:26She could be your plaything.
12:28How can you marry her?
12:30Are you insane?
12:32Since when do you have a say in my affairs?
12:36But she has no background.
12:38And she's a vampire.
12:41If you marry her, the entire Vitorecki family will be a laughingstock.
12:50I am her background.
12:52Who dares laugh at her?
13:00Who is bold enough
13:03to laugh at her?
13:26What the hell is wrong with you?
13:27It's the middle of the night.
13:28Some people are trying to sleep.
13:30Boss, keep going.
13:39What the hell do you want?
13:42Oh!
13:46Hold still.
13:54Why didn't you answer my call?
13:56I didn't hear it.
13:59Has anyone ever told you you suck at lying?
14:03What the hell do you want?
14:05I'm engaged.
14:07Stop harassing me.
14:08Your fiancé?
14:09He's not even worth my time.
14:11At least he doesn't make me a neighborhood joke.
14:16Marry me.
14:17I'll make sure no one dares disrespect you.
14:20Never.
14:21I love my fiancé, and I'll never love you.
14:46You didn't like the gifts I sent you last time.
14:48I picked out some new ones.
15:00Boss.
15:01Here.
15:09Not everyone can be bought with money.
15:14Boss.
15:14Should I bring her back?
15:15No.
15:16Miss Hastings has a fiancé.
15:17What if they get married behind your back?
15:24Whoever dares to marry my woman,
15:26his whole family will be run out of this city.
15:32I love you.
15:36I love you.
15:46I'm putting Serena in your hands.
15:49Take good care of her.
15:56Look at them.
15:58What a perfect match.
15:59This song you taught me?
16:01I've played it 2,000 times.
16:03I dreamed of playing it for you on our wedding day.
16:05Today, that dream has finally come true.
16:25Freeze!
16:26Don't fucking move!
16:38Who the fuck gave you the balls to take my woman?
16:52No!
16:53Don't do it!
16:54Don't do it!
16:58Don't do it!
17:00Don't do it!
17:02Don't do it!
17:02Don't do it!
17:02Don't do it!
17:02Don't do it!
17:03Don't do it!
17:12Don't do it!
17:15Stood there and watched me choke to death.
17:19Everyone in the pack said I was the saddest woman alive.
17:22i was alpha dominic's lowest ranking omega mate and the least wanted the day i gave birth
17:28luna victoria took my son from me before i'd even held him properly i didn't fight her victoria was
17:36the luna powerful respected my son would have a better life with her than he ever would with me
17:43years later a pack of rogues attacked our territory i threw myself in front of dominic
17:49the slash meant for his throat tore across my back instead he said i had earned a reward i could
17:56choose one of his sons raise him myself i chose logan my blood my child i raised him for 20
18:05years
18:05and on the night he was named alpha air he walked into my room carrying a glass of wine laced
18:11with
18:11wolfsbane i couldn't move the poison paralyzed me my wolf hauled inside me fought like hell
18:19but it couldn't save me logan stood over me and watched foam spill from my mouth his eyes were
18:25cold if you'd left me with luna victoria i'd already be air all you ever did was drag me down
18:32the last
18:32thing i saw was his face no guilt no hesitation just disgust then everything went black when i
18:42opened my eyes again i was standing in the great hall same stone walls same firelight same five boys
18:50lined up in front of the alpha's chair alpha dominic sat above them selaine you saved my life
18:57you may choose one of my sons to raise my heart slammed i looked at the line logan stood first
19:05dressed
19:06in the fine clothes victoria had picked for him that look in his eyes impatience barely hidden last time
19:14i was so happy i missed the look in his eyes now it was impossible to miss my stomach turned
19:21i swallowed
19:22the nausea and forced myself to look past him past the second son past the third at the end of
19:29the line
19:30below the steps stood a boy no one looked at finn head down kyle the fourth son his mother lyra
19:40had
19:40been executed for breaking pack law after that no one wanted him the servant said he was cursed he was
19:47treated worse than the lowest omega in the manor thrown away hated just for being there i knew that
19:54feeling too well i took a breath raised my hand pointed straight at him i want him the hall went
20:02dead
20:03silent every head turned toward me like i'd lost my mind alpha dominic stared at me for a long moment
20:10then he let out a short breath almost a laugh kyle fine he's quiet you're steady that should work
20:21take good care of him right there in the hall he raised me to a beta ranking mate small promotion
20:27still more than i'd gotten in six years but i knew the truth he wasn't rewarding me he was relieved
20:35i picked the son no one wanted when the meeting ended i walked over to kyle he was still standing
20:42there with his head down like he still didn't believe i meant him
20:54i took him back to birch cabin my place on the far edge of the pack estate a tiny wooden
21:00cabin
21:00two rooms a fireplace that smoked every time the wind blew in not much but it was mine
21:12kyle this is your home now i'll take care of you he didn't answer but when i turned to leave
21:20his fingers caught my sleeve tight kyle wasn't dark and difficult like people said
21:27he was quiet so quiet sometimes i forgot he was even in the room i didn't mind in this life
21:36i didn't want power i didn't want the alpha's favor i just wanted to stay out of trouble
21:42raise this boy and die peacefully when i got old if he came to see me once in a while
21:49that would be
21:50enough every day kyle went to the training yard with the other boys combat in the morning lessons in
21:57the afternoon one day i baked a batch of cookies and took them over i spotted him right away he
22:05was
22:05sitting alone under a big oak tree reading across the yard logan kicked a ball with the other boys
22:11around him like planets around the sun logan had grown up at luna victoria's side best clothes best
22:19food best of everything every child in the pack knew which side to stand on last time i dragged him
22:26away from all of it made him follow a nobody omega mother no wonder he hated me i sat down
22:33beside kyle
22:34and set the box on the stone bench he looked up a flicker of surprise crossed his face hungry i
22:41opened
22:41the lid they're fresh still warm kyle started to speak but a sharp voice cut him off why are you
22:49here
22:49again logan walked over looking at the cookies like they were trash the pack kitchen feeds strays better
22:56than that stop coming here and embarrassing yourself before i could speak kyle stood up he stepped between
23:03us logan she's your mother you can't talk to her like that logan let out a mean little laugh my
23:11mother

24:14back when you regret it i looked at logan red-faced and furious trying to act like he didn't care
24:21i almost laughed i promise kyle is my only son everything i have goes to him logan went pale
24:31he stomped off and yelled at the others what are you staring at move he ran off the other boys
24:38scrambled after him that night i tucked kyle into bed i thought he was asleep then he spoke mom
24:46tomorrow after training can you bring cookies again something in me melted i will the day after
24:55every day kyle smiled for real then went to sleep the next afternoon i brought cookies to the yard again
25:05but the place was too quiet then i saw it kyle stood by the lake four pack guards had him
25:13boxed in
25:13logan sat on a rock above them hey little brother he pointed at the cold gray water my ball fell
25:21in
25:22go get it the lake wasn't deep but it was late fall that water cut like ice kyle said nothing
25:32he didn't move logan's smile vanished like a spoiled kid hearing no for the first time he jumped off the
25:39rock and yards turned toward the trees at the exact same time like they'd seen nothing i didn't think
25:46i dropped the cookies and jumped in the cold hit me like a wall my muscles locked up my legs
25:53went numb
25:54around kyle's shaking body you pushed him he's your brother what the hell is wrong with you
26:21listening to the ambiguous moans and faint running water over the phone i smiled bitterly my husband

31:26to accompany her i laughed so he thought it was my family i'd been planning to give his parents a
31:31proper burial as soon as possible instead i ordered five industrial freezer units per ethan's request i sent
31:38his entire family to his company i'd been home barely 10 minutes when ethan burst in and slapped me
31:43across the face sophia's hysterical her parents just got out of surgery and you're already suing
31:48them do you even have a conscience at least they're alive the people their snakes killed are still lying
31:55in those freezers something flickered in ethan's eyes that was my anti-venom i give it to whoever i
31:59want your parents had no business going camping they got bitten that's on them sophia's parents are
32:08sitting in a hospital being questioned by detectives because of your lawsuit can't you show a little
32:14mercy to the living maybe your parents getting bitten was karma for you being so cold-hearted

32:34but the dead are gone the living have to keep going sophia is willing to offer compensation
32:40i'll top it up a million dollars total that's enough isn't it he said it like he was talking about
32:46the
32:47weather five lives in their eyes worth a million dollars ethan was spoiled rotten by his parents his
32:53whole life thinking about the moment he'd open those freezers and see their faces i couldn't help
32:57but wear a sorrowful smile what's so funny stop playing games will you agree to my terms ethan didn't
33:03have the patience to let me finish after all i wiped the corner of my eye still smiling okay transfer
33:08it
33:08then payment received one million dollars ethan had covered the rest almost certainly every dollar
33:14of liquid cash his company had left he watched me accept it i should tell you this morning i signed
33:19a
33:19formal letter of non-prosecution on your behalf as your husband sophia's parents are already off the
33:25hook you should be thanking sophia for being so generous without her you wouldn't have seen a dime
33:30now go tell the police the theft report was a mistake i reached into the nightstand drawer and
33:34pulled out the divorce agreement i'd drawn up that morning sign it return my bag we're done or i come
33:41after you too you're divorcing me over this i could see the calculation behind the rage he needed my
33:46father's connections but he also thought my father was dead and no longer of any use to him called
33:51after him checked his signature carefully everything in order ethan there's a waiting period we're
33:58technically still married come with me to your company say goodbye to your family one last time
34:03we arrived at his company together i was certain ethan's mind was on sophia and he still hadn't heard a
34:09word i said the basement ran cold the chill hit me the moment i stepped in five bodies lay in
34:15a row
34:15covered in white sheet my company is not a dump mom dad i'm so sorry and ava marcus what the
34:23fuck
34:23are you talking about say it again if i'm lying i said go look for yourself he stood there for
34:31a long
34:31moment then he moved toward the nearest stretcher slowly his hands were shaking so badly he could
34:37barely grip the sheet
34:58mafia's tradition whoever gives me an orchid marries me i stood in the hall with eleven 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
35:22in 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
35:39i let out my hand then she pressed her orchid
35:42into 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 to
36:03save 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
36:13she chose someone else the room kept moving i felt very still it was over charlotte's
36:19expression shifted a faint flicker of guilt crossing her face she waved tyler off look
36:25you're used to these events but tyler's never had anything like this i just wanted to give him
36:30one good night consider it a favor from me you're not really upset are you it's one night i said
36:34nothing it's his graduation after tonight i can't sponsor him anymore i promised him one memory worth
36:39keeping ethan i'm sorry if i got in the way don't be angry at charlotte i begged her to charlotte
36:43caught
36:43tyler's awkward expression and her eyes cooled slightly ethan it's one flower i'll give you
36:48another one you're more of a rose anyway getting worked up over one orchid 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 a bastard son who follows charlotte
37:09around like a lapdog and he thought he'd actually marry into the chase family
37:13and there was a cessus family even the scholarship kid outranks him charlotte silenced them with a
37:19glare but it was already enough to humiliate me ethan i'm sorry you were born into wealth
37:26while i just wanted a memorable night born into wealth i'm a bastard son do you have any idea how
37:32this family actually treats me tyler froze startled by me my bad but i was the only one who
37:40caught the cunning flash in his eyes it's already done i'll take you to get changed and ethan you
37:46can head home if you want home where exactly was that supposed to be then they left vanessa lee appeared
37:53almost instantly you smell amazing mr holt charlotte told me to give you an orchid i didn't i told you
38:02stop chasing her and try me instead but you never listened how's it feel now embarrassing right you
38:10this woman despised me i just needed three years i just needed three years enough leverage to break
38:16free from my family's control but my stepmother couldn't stand the sight of me she was already
38:20rushing to throw me out ethan holt if you weren't so pretty you'd be nothing
38:28you really think the chase family is going to protect you forever vanessa don't touch what's
38:35mine i thought you picked the scholarship kid why are you still keeping ethan around my business
38:40not yours why didn't you do anything i felt nothing but deep tired disappointment wasn't this
38:48what you arranged i can look out for you and still talk to other people ethan i'm not required to
38:53stand

39:02laughed out loud tomorrow you'll have to find me in new york the shyness he wore earlier was gone
39:08replaced by something colder you have everything mr holt do you really need to take this too i should
39:14never have helped charlotte choose him for that scholarship you grew up with everything you could
39:20want all i wanted was one night under charlotte's protection i let out a quiet sneer you think i had
39:29it better than you my mother died young
39:33i was brought back to the holt house just a child my stepmother looked at me like i shouldn't exist
39:38from the very first day my father had too many wives too many children to care about one more i
39:44learned
39:44early how to read a room how to make myself useful i found aunt diana in the margins i convinced
39:50her
39:50to train me to back me i stood in front of her forcing my hands to stay still father has
39:55over 20
39:56children why would i believe a bastard son can beat all of them because i have no weakness
40:03and i'm willing to fight dirty but my time hadn't come yet diana wouldn't move for me not now
40:09everyone said my fiancee from the quinn family was a deadly poisonous flower my family wanted the
40:15alliance but not the cost they wouldn't sacrifice a true heir so they offered me diana had already
40:21heard how the gala ended a message arrived figure it out yourself i needed a solution
40:28well can you get the orchid back from tyler just for one night i'll return it in the morning
40:32charlotte blink clearly caught off guard that's a bit awkward isn't it i already gave it
40:37stop trying to take things from tyler the orchid had a gold trimmed edge custom made there was no
40:42replacing it the restraint i'd held all night finally snapped charlotte you promised why did you
40:48have to humiliate me tonight of all nights ethan no one in this city will touch you the only person
40:55who could ever want you is me everyone knows you're my little shadow her little shadow her lapdog i had
41:01played that role for years just to survive but hearing her say it so casually like it meant nothing
41:06it hit harder than i expected don't be angry at charlotte ethan ethan one night stop being
41:11difficult tomorrow he goes back to his normal life i gave charlotte a long lingering look then
41:16turned and walked out of the gala aunt diana's car was already waiting outside you lost tomorrow
41:21you go to new york what happens after that is your problem i'll come back we'll see
41:45the tank burst the wave slammed me across the floor yet my fiancee now held another woman in his arms
41:52and all of this was because his younger sister lila and i were caught in a rip current off puget
41:57sound
41:58i was saved lila lost her life the blackwood family thinks it was me who had killed their biological daughter
42:04why are you still alive you should have been the one who drowned you killed my daughter
42:09killia 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 serena's moving in time to
42:22clear all this trash out serena vanderbilt his arranged marriage fiancee after throwing all this away
42:28are you gonna kick me out next you said you were dying of your illness didn't you then it's only
42:33fitting you go to atone for lila in death my body turned rigid when i heard those words
42:38killian blackwood was the unloved blackwood son raised outside the manor walls from childhood i
42:43had given this brooding boy next door a single piece of candy because of that one small sweetness
42:48after my parents died in an earthquake killian protected me for 15 years countless days of
42:54depending on each other i fell in love with the man who held me at 20 i had written a
42:58hundred love
42:59letters and confided my longing to my best friend chloe reed never did i expect chloe to tell killian
43:04everything that night he made me take out the letters and read them aloud to him i'm sorry i'll
43:09never 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 could
43:25not hold two daughters killian put the messenger on the floor and looked at his father arthur blackwood
43:30know her know me i knew how desperately killian longed to return home yet he chose to stand by
43:37my 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
43:59had doomed their own child do you think it was my fault too you both went into the water you
44:05survived
44:06she didn't to this family that's a crime i knelt for three days and nights begging for their forgiveness
44:11however all 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
44:25me
44:25then froze my bank card what burned to ashes was not only my true love but also my desire to
44:31survive
44:31that night killian stumbled home drunk demanding something to sober up when i passed him the hangover
44:37soup i spotted my favorite lemon tarts on the table he shoved me away
44:43put those down they're for serena what are you doing so close still trying to lure me you're drunk
44:48i'm making you sobering soup sorry i was too drunk i mistook you for serena he got up and pushed
44:56me
44:56away he'd never been so cold to me nor so rough killian didn't spare me a glance walked upstairs and
45:02slammed the door everything changed the day lila died i knew he hated me for living yet i could do
45:07nothing the light was still on in killian's room i knocked softly coming to a man's room this late
45:12do you have any sense at all we're broken up i want to move out stop you from spouting nonsense
45:17you must stay here until i marry serena can i at least move to the lower level it's up to
45:23you
45:25i turned and walked back to my room in silence i didn't understand his anger lila was gone forever
45:31how could i possibly live here in peace this forced stay gave me time to ease myself into
45:37preparing to leave the next morning passing through the living room i heard killian talking
45:42on the phone with serena killian caught sight of me suddenly then ended the call where are you going
45:48i'll drive you i froze before i could answer he was already walking out to the garage
45:53he leaned on the horn are you getting in or do you want me to carry you i i can't
45:57sit up front

46:25i'll model them tonight as their words grew bolder and more explicit killian pulled into the emergency
46:31lane get out serena's waiting me
46:55a destitute stripper who suffers from bills
47:02three months ago i'd been planning to audition for the new york ballet company now i was applying
47:07glitter to my skin for men who would tuck dollar bills into my g-string three months ago the wedding
47:12day of me and a man i had never met ethan pacheco a marriage i wanted no part of i
47:17had slipped away
47:17while the guests were arriving needing a moment to breathe to think i had wandered aimlessly until
47:22i heard sounds coming from one of the guest bedrooms although the man had his back to me i knew
47:27he must
47:27be my fiancee who i had never met without twice thought i drived away from the estate away from ethan
47:33pacheco and the future that had been decided for me i ended up at a bar downtown in the late
47:37night
47:38drowning my sorrows 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
48:11i had laughed then a bitter hollow sound the funny thing was with all the drama going on
48:16i still didn't know what my fiancee looked like but this guy had been charming attentive and i'd
48:22been vulnerable hurt and increasingly drunk when he suggested we get a room at the hotel next door
48:27i hadn't said no
48:44with nothing but a lingering hangover and the crushing realization that i couldn't go home again
48:48not to face my father's disappointment i disappeared cutting off contact with everyone from my old life
48:54my savings hadn't lasted long now i had to dance in a bar to earn money the bar had been
48:58booked out
48:59by the owner tonight he was going to hold an important party in the vip room
49:06those 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 as my boss and ex-fiance his eyes met mine and
49:18the world stopped
49:23spinning stop staring at the boss are you crazy i immediately dropped my gaze the tiny sequined
49:32outfit left little to the imagination but it was better than being completely naked i needed this
49:37job rent wasn't going to pay itself did he recognize me shouldn't your older brother be running this
49:42meeting i can't imagine your father henry's crazy enough to let a 23 year old handle business this
49:49magnitude everyone turned to gauge ethan's reaction the tension thick enough to cut with a knife
49:59care to guess why i'm the heir while my big brother works under me you're not in any position
50:04to question my capabilities the man's face reddened he wisely kept his mouth shut the meeting dragged
50:10on numbers and threats mixing with the heavy beat of the music i felt increasingly lightheaded
50:15the room started to spin 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
50:27you 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
50:39the 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
51:09what will happen to be done using uh you delivered any completely to do this one you want to try
