13:01but I didn't jump like my mom did one step at a time onto the rope ladder hanging from a
13:07helicopter
13:11the helicopter came early my aunt Lydia she started from nothing in Monte Carlo built herself up to the
13:20point where even the old family dawns think twice when they hear her name last week she reached out
13:26asked if I wanted to leave this hellhole and go with her I said no because I couldn't let go
13:33of Dante
13:34looking back now what a fucking joke I was so tired I passed out on the plane I was lying
13:41in a clean bed
13:42buried under a thick comforter the room smelled like disinfectant
13:51I knew I was in bad shape body and mind both broken Lydia was sitting by the bed sons of
13:58bitches
14:01then she turned to me her voice dropping soft it's over I got you the best doctors everything's gonna be
14:09okay
14:11drink drink you're safe now
14:16Dante watched me climb the road ladder frozen then something he bolted forward chasing after me
14:23why are you going after her that kind of woman just let her go
14:29what kind of woman the kind who likes being someone's mistress
14:35she was never anyone's mistress
14:38we forced her into that
14:41and even then
14:43she didn't take it
14:45you're yelling at me over her
14:49do you still love her
14:51yes
14:52i still love her
14:54i always have
14:56then what about me
14:58what am i
14:59you're the biggest mistake i ever made
15:01i finally get it
15:02why you wanted to be with me
15:04why you had to turn her into a mistress
15:06because you get off on crushing people
15:08you need it
15:09that's not true
15:12Dante took a folded document from his bodyguard
15:15threw it in her face
15:19back in high school scarlet had singled out her class baby
15:23turned the whole school against her
15:25girl hadn't done a single thing wrong
15:27scarlet pinned it on her anyway
15:30and it was enough for scarlet to destroy her life
15:32she enjoys that
15:33while we're at it
15:35are you even a real marchetti
15:42you came after me because of elena
15:45from the very start
15:49the next day he started tracking down the helicopter
15:53nothing
15:54he pulled every string he had
15:56not a single useful lead
15:58lydia had wiped the trail clean
16:00like elena had never existed
16:02three full years not a word
16:04we have a contract dante
16:06you don't get to walk away just because you feel like it
16:11you know what happens when you break a deal
16:13i had a contract with elena too
16:17the wedding was a week out
16:21the one on the ground that was my promise
16:23she went door to door
16:25every family's wife
16:26every woman who mattered
16:28scarlet showed up with tears in her eyes
16:30playing the victim
16:37a few families bought it
16:38started pulling away from the moretties on business
16:43dante did explain
16:44didn't defend himself
16:48he waited three months
16:50let scarlet put on her little show
16:59he waited three months
17:00let scarlet put on her little show
17:06then at a joint family dinner he laid it all out on the table
17:11in front of everyone
17:12scarlet's real background
17:13her history of bullying
17:15her real reason for getting close to dante
17:18her fake connection to the marchetti family
17:21all of it page by page
17:24dead silence
17:26and then something interesting happened
17:28history repeated itself
17:30years ago ferrante threw elena's mother under the bus to save his own skin
17:36now it was scarlet's turn to be stripped bare
17:38her mother was someone's mistress too
17:41and she herself was just another illegitimate
17:44the father threw away
17:46circle turned on her overnight
17:48the same wives who had stood with scarlet
17:51who had helped her humiliate elena
17:54turned around and did the exact same thing to scarlet
17:58she became a joke
17:59fraud
18:00fake
18:01scarlet's ending was the same as amina's mother's
18:04she jumped off the roof
18:06scarlet's ending didn't bring dante any relief
18:10scarlet had her sins but his were no lighter
18:14he wanted to make things right but where was elena
18:20he wanted to make things right but where was elena
18:24he searched damn near the whole globe
18:26but elena had vanished like she'd been erased from the face of the earth
18:32just when he was about to give up
18:33someone said they might have seen her in paris
18:36he rushed to paris
18:37then someone said berlin
18:40he chased it to berlin
18:42the trail went cold eight full years
18:44that's how long it took before he finally spotted her
18:47on the street in london
18:48but she was walking hand in hand with another man
18:51that should have been him
18:54his voice was so rough he barely recognized it himself
19:00i didn't recognize him at first because he looked nothing like the man
19:04the man in front of me was wrapped in a black overcoat

22:12we'd only been apart a few minutes and i already missed him
22:16i'm not
22:17so i kept glancing out the window dante noticed every time my eyes drifted outside his face got a little
22:23darker
22:27and he'd rush to say something to hold me back
22:30do you live in london no where then can you tell me no
22:40how long are you staying will i see you again i don't know
22:48dante finally stopped holding me back go go find your husband i hope we meet again
22:57i let out a breath stood up he called after me elena

23:14walking as i passed him he spoke again can you call me dante just once i didn't i'm someone else's
23:21wife now he just stood there a long time passed before he said quietly then can i call you baby
23:28one last time that's your business nothing to do with me i was almost at the door when it came
23:35loud almost a shout from behind me baby i turned my head dante was standing at the entrance of the
23:43cafe he was streaming down his face i really miss you if i could do it over i wouldn't do
23:48that to you
23:49i gave him a small smile didn't stop walked out julian was right there he took my hand the second
23:56i
23:56stepped outside fingers laced same as before we walked back down the same street where we'd run
24:02into dante london was still wet the rain inside me had stopped we stayed in london for a month
24:08i didn't run into dante again didn't hear a thing about him then the day before we were set to
24:14leave
24:14the news hit two weeks ago a man had spent the last of his savings buying a small cafe on
24:20the corner
24:20carnaby street last night he died there i knew it instantly every drop of blood in my body was cold
24:29we rushed to the cafe together and it was dante just as i'd feared the scene was still taped off
24:35the body had already been taken away we waited a week the autopsy came back cause of death chronic
24:43alcoholism late stage stomach cancer my legs almost gave out his stomach was always bad when we were
24:50together i made sure he took his pills never let him drink on an empty stomach all these years on
24:56his
24:57own he probably didn't bother with any of it he had no one in london cut ties with the family
25:03years ago
25:03there wasn't even anyone to notify julian and i handled the funeral arrangements going through what he left
25:10behind i found a journal he left it for me every page was filled years of searching for me all
25:17over
25:17the world far more detailed than what he told me in person he wrote after the last time i saw
25:24her i
25:24kept telling myself she's doing fine i shouldn't bother her but i can't help it especially that man
25:29the one she calls julian i wanted to kill him but i knew i couldn't it would hurt her day
25:3618 since i
25:37saw elena again and lost her again i miss her more than yesterday i can't stop it i just want
25:43to hold
25:44her this ring i picked it up off the floor that night if i'm gone and you're still in london
25:50take
25:50it with you the journal ended there julian and i held a small funeral for dante as friends nothing more
26:01no family no guests just the two of us and a local priest the headstone was simple just his name
26:09and the years he lived i placed the journal and the ring together at the base of the stone
26:16dante i said softly voice steady it's over rest now i don't hate you and i don't forgive you
26:25we owe each other nothing i'm going to live well safe whole happy that's what you owed me
26:34and it's what i built for myself i stood there for a long time then i reached out and touched
26:41the
26:41cold stone at my fingertips not saying goodbye to a lover saying goodbye to a heavy past
26:47the girl i used to be small helpless trampled under everyone's feet julian's arm came around my
26:54shoulders let's go let's go home i nodded turned around walked away this time i didn't look back
27:03later julian had the ring made into a necklace wear it i'm not going to be jealous of a dead
27:09man
27:12but i didn't put it on i locked it in a drawer that was the end of it everything between
27:17me and dante

31:04back scarlet she seemed to hear something in the air lifted her head slowly completely without warning
31:11she was thin unrecognizably so deep exhaustion behind her eyes numb i stood there it took me a while to
31:20come back to myself karma's a bitch she didn't escape it either dante's journal had mentioned it
31:27don't push me don't push me i did nothing wrong ended up the same as my mother jumped off a
31:34roof she didn't
31:35done broke her spine i spent the rest of her life in that chair i didn't feel satisfaction didn't
31:42feel pity either just calm not the cold kind not the kind where you pretend you didn't cheat
31:50it was a late autumn afternoon lydia once asked me do you hate your mother i thought about it for
31:57a long
31:58time i hated her when i was a child hated her for what she did hated her for making me
32:03live under those
32:04insults also hated her for leaving too early abandoning me alone in this world aunt lydia listened
32:10didn't interrupt but later i stopped hating she made a mistake and paid with her life
32:19elena you know your mother called me before she died
32:25she said she regretted it deeply that the she wronged most in her life was you
32:31she asked me if possible to find you and take care of you for her i kept my head down
32:36i didn't say anything aunt lydia took my hand i think you should know this
32:43and in that last phone call she was a decent mother i started to cry after a long while i
32:51got up and put my
32:51arms around her she gave birth to me you saved me silly girl i just sent a helicopter you climbed
