00:00:00I squatted on the cold, tiled floor of the toilet, scrubbing the already spotless floor vigorously with my right hand,
00:00:06emitting a pungent stench.
00:00:08Suddenly, a hand snatched up the bucket, instantly soaked my entire body, sewage rushing into my hair, eyes, choking me
00:00:16into violent coughing.
00:00:18One girl threw away the empty bucket and kicked me hard.
00:00:20Another girl immediately stepped from the floor.
00:00:23My scalp burned with tearing pain, yet I couldn't even struggle.
00:00:26Letting you wash clothes and you can't even do it properly?
00:00:29Do you still think you're the precious young miss of the family?
00:00:32She leaned close to my face viciously.
00:00:34Tell me, what is campus rule no 13?
00:00:37My eyes were numb, my voice hoarse and almost unrecognizable.
00:00:41The girl smiled with satisfaction, losing balance and collapsing onto the floor.
00:00:46Nora, you don't still think your family will take you back, do you?
00:00:50She squatted down, patted my face mo-
00:00:52It's time to wake up.
00:00:53If your family really cared about you, why would they have sent you here?
00:00:57I lowered my head, wet hair sticking to my face, sewage and tears flowing down together, but I couldn't make
00:01:03a sound.
00:01:03At that moment, a supervisor's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
00:01:07Nora, pack your things.
00:01:10Your family has sent word for you to go back.
00:01:13The day Mitchell drove me to that place, the journey felt so short.
00:01:17So short, I didn't have time to explain to him that I didn't push Maggie Andrews down the stairs.
00:01:22So short, I couldn't calm Mitchell's fury before he shoved me into that dark, suffocating prison.
00:01:27The day I returned home, the rain was pouring.
00:01:30My brother, Mitchell Bishop, didn't come to pick me up.
00:01:36His voice over the phone was cold and detached, devoid of any warmth.
00:01:40I quietly packed my things and set out for home.
00:01:42It had only been one year since I was sent away to boarding school, yet somehow, I had forgotten how
00:01:47to get back.
00:01:48After walking in the rain for what felt like forever, soaked to the bone, I still couldn't find my way
00:01:53home.
00:01:53Maybe, I no longer had a home.
00:01:56Our parents had passed away when we were young, leaving Mitchell and me to rely on each other.
00:02:00But now, Mitchell had chosen Maggie over me.
00:02:03For more than one year, he didn't visit me once.
00:02:06Once, when I fell gravely ill, all I wanted was to go home.
00:02:10I desperately missed Mitchell.
00:02:11Please, brother, take me home.
00:02:14Don't be such a crybaby.
00:02:16Mitchell stormed into the police station, his face a mask of irritation as he glared at me, dripping wet from
00:02:21head to toe.
00:02:21His brows furrowed in disdain, and his voice lashed out like a whip.
00:02:26You're making a scene.
00:02:27You've been there a whole year.
00:02:28Why are you still this stubborn?
00:02:30Maggie was sick today.
00:02:31That's the only reason I didn't pick you up.
00:02:32You're an adult now, aren't you?
00:02:34Can't you find your way home without pulling a stunt like this?
00:02:36Did you really think I'd let this kind of behavior slide?
00:02:38I'm sorry, Mitchell.
00:02:39I didn't mean to.
00:02:41I really forgot how to get home.
00:02:43My legs trembled, and the sound of his anger made my body instinctively cold with fear.
00:02:48Already shivering from the rain, I now felt frozen to my core.
00:02:51When Mitchell fell silent, whose expression unreadable, I panicked.
00:02:55It's my fault, Mitchell.
00:02:57It's all my fault.
00:02:58Please forgive me.
00:02:59Don't send me back there again.
00:03:01I promise I'll be good.
00:03:02I'll do whatever you say, Mitchell.
00:03:04Even the police were stunned.
00:03:05One of them hurried to lift me up and gently tried to reason with him.
00:03:09Let's go home.
00:03:10I don't want you embarrassing me here.
00:03:12Mitchell's face was dark with fury.
00:03:14He turned and walked out.
00:03:15I followed him closely, almost afraid to breathe.
00:03:18Before getting into the car, I carefully placed my damp jacket over the seat to protect it.
00:03:23What are you doing?
00:03:24He snapped, his brows knitting into a tight frown.
00:03:27Lowering my gaze, I mumbled softly.
00:03:30My clothes are wet.
00:03:31I didn't want to dirty your car.
00:03:33Mitchell's frown deepened, his irritation clearly visible.
00:03:36I immediately lowered my head even further.
00:03:39After a long pause, he finally sighed, his tone impatient.
00:03:43Just get in.
00:03:43Had I been gone too long?
00:03:45The house where Mitchell and I had spent over a decade of our lives felt completely unfamiliar
00:03:49now.
00:03:50The framed photo of us that used to hang in the living room was gone, replaced by one
00:03:54of him and Maggie.
00:03:55The cream-colored sofa I had begged Mitchell to buy had been swapped out for a pink one
00:03:59I disliked.
00:04:00My bedroom?
00:04:01It was no longer mine.
00:04:02It looked completely different.
00:04:04Everything that once belonged to me was gone, replaced by someone else's scent, someone else's
00:04:09presence.
00:04:10Maggie emerged from Mitchell's room, her smile delicate and saccharine.
00:04:14Nora, you're back.
00:04:15You've been away for so long, so I had Maggie move in.
00:04:19Mitchell explained as he walked over to her, placing a protective arm around her shoulders.
00:04:23Her injury, you know, the one you caused when you pushed her down the stairs, left her
00:04:27with permanent damage.
00:04:29Try to be more understanding.
00:04:31I've had the small attic room cleaned out for you.
00:04:33You'll stay there from now on.
00:04:34I glanced up at the dark, cramped attic space.
00:04:37It used to be nothing more than storage for old junk.
00:04:39But I didn't complain.
00:04:41At least it was a place to sleep.
00:04:42At school, eight of us were crammed into a tiny, poorly ventilated dorm room.
00:04:47On hot, humid nights, I would wake up drenched in sweat, feeling like I was suffocating under
00:04:52the weight of an invisible stone pressing down on my chest.
00:04:55But even that wasn't the worst of it.
00:04:57Shortly after arriving at the school late one night, I woke to the sensation of...
00:05:00...opened my eyes.
00:05:01I saw a pair of greedy, lustful eyes staring back.
00:05:04...bit.
00:05:08From that night on, I never slept soundly again.
00:05:11Compared to that, this attic.
00:05:13Small, cold, and isolated as it was.
00:05:16Felt like a blessing.
00:05:18Nora, I'm so sorry I took your room.
00:05:21I hope you're not upset about staying up here.
00:05:23Maggie's voice was sweet, but her smile was full of mockery.
00:05:27I knew she was taunting me.
00:05:28In the past, I would have confronted her without hesitation.
00:05:32I'd never been one to back down from women like her.
00:05:34From the moment we first met, Maggie and I were at odds.
00:05:37Her coy, deceitful nature repulsed me, yet she clung to me like a shadow.
00:05:41Brushed over, her tearful accusations painted me as a cruel bully.
00:05:45Why?
00:05:45Why are you doing this to me?
00:05:48Do you really want to kill me?
00:05:50I protectively that day.
00:05:51His gaze filled with disappointment, anger, and disdain as he looked at me.
00:05:55You've let me down.
00:05:57Push her.
00:05:58That day I waited at home for hours for Mitchell.
00:06:00He didn't come back.
00:06:01He didn't even answer my calls.
00:06:03Instead, his secretary arrived with...
00:06:06Without a word of explanation, Mitchell sent me to that Virtue Girls boarding school.
00:06:10I failed to teach you how to behave.
00:06:12Stay there and reflect.
00:06:13You can pay for Maggie's injury with your time.
00:06:16Please.
00:06:17That was when I realized I could never win against Maggie.
00:06:20Not because she was better than me, but because the scales in Mitchell's heart had already
00:06:24tipped in her favor.
00:06:25So now, even though she had taken my room, how could I dare show any dissatisfaction?
00:06:30Whatever Mitchell wants to do with the house is entirely up to him.
00:06:34The attic is fine.
00:06:35I can stay there.
00:06:37I lowered my head and spoke softly, my voice barely audible.
00:06:41Mitchell's expression was hard to read.
00:06:43He didn't seem pleased.
00:06:44Seeing him like this, I felt uneasy and questioned myself.
00:06:48I had already stepped aside in every possible way for the person he held dearest in his heart.
00:06:53Why was he still dissatisfied?
00:06:55The worst part came during dinner.
00:06:57The table was covered with an array of lavish dishes.
00:07:00Mitchell carefully served food to Maggie, who beamed with joy.
00:07:03I kept my head down, silently eating the plain spaghetti in front of me.
00:07:08Nora, why aren't you eating anything else?
00:07:11Maggie's sweet voice rang out as she reached over to place a piece of mutton on my plate.
00:07:15I didn't eat it, silently pushing it to the side.
00:07:19Nora, do you have a problem with me?
00:07:21You don't even eat the food I gave you.
00:07:23Her expression turned hurt, and Mitchell's face immediately darkened.
00:07:27Nora!
00:07:28Eat it!
00:07:29Who do you think you're trying to snub here?
00:07:31I looked up, a heavy weight pressing against my chest.
00:07:34I was allergic to many foods.
00:07:35Back at home, our dining table had never featured dishes I couldn't eat.
00:07:39But now, almost everything on this table was something I couldn't touch.
00:07:43Mitchell had forgotten.
00:07:44You can't eat this.
00:07:46What do you mean you can't eat it?
00:07:47Maggie's trying to build a good relationship with you.
00:07:50Don't be so ungrateful.
00:07:51Eat the lamb.
00:07:52It's fine.
00:07:53It's my fault.
00:07:54The kitchen made everything I like today.
00:07:57It's Nora's first day back.
00:07:58So, it's understandable if she's unhappy.
00:08:02Nora, tell the kitchen what you'd prefer, and they'll make it for you.
00:08:05Maggie's eyes glinted with deliberate provocation.
00:08:08But none of this angered me anymore.
00:08:10She's not that fragile.
00:08:12Just because you like it doesn't mean she can't eat it.
00:08:16Nora, stop making things difficult for everyone.
00:08:19Be more considerate.
00:08:20Mitchell's face was grim, his brows tightly furrowed,
00:08:23an unmistakable sign that he was about to lose his temper.
00:08:26Once again, he left me no room to explain,
00:08:29immediately assuming I was at fault.
00:08:31At the provided for me.
00:08:32I mustn't make Mitchell angry.
00:08:34If he got upset, it would be my fault.
00:08:37All right.
00:08:38I'll eat it.
00:08:39I lowered my head and forced myself to eat,
00:08:42taking large bites, desperate to avoid escalating the conflict.
00:08:45As he saw me eating, his furrowed brow finally relaxed.
00:08:49Suppressing the nausea churning inside me,
00:08:51I ate whatever they served, lamb included.
00:08:54But soon, my neck began to itch, followed by an unbearable tingling all over my body.
00:08:59My throat felt constricted, as if someone could longer hold the ear.
00:09:03Oh my-
00:09:03Maggie shrieked and threw herself into Mitchell's arms.
00:09:06His first instinct was to hold on to dial 911, that he finally reacted.
00:09:10What's wrong with you?
00:09:11I made it just in time and narrowly escaped death.
00:09:15As I lay in the hospital bed, Mitchell sat nearby,
00:09:18fully focused on comforting the woman crying in his arms.
00:09:21This is all my fault!
00:09:22If I hadn't served her that food,
00:09:24she wouldn't have eaten it and gotten sick.
00:09:27Don't cry.
00:09:28This isn't your fault.
00:09:30She's just stupid, knowing she's allergic and still eating it.
00:09:33Huh.
00:09:33So it was my fault.
00:09:35You're awake.
00:09:37Nora!
00:09:38Maggie turned,
00:09:39her tear-streaked face lighting up with feigned surprise and concern as she approached me.
00:09:43Mitchell, however, spoke first.
00:09:45Why didn't you say you were allergic?
00:09:47Why did you eat it anyway?
00:09:49I told you I couldn't eat it.
00:09:51But if I didn't,
00:09:53you would have been angry.
00:09:54I said, my voice trembling.
00:09:56Mitchell's expression only darkened further.
00:09:58Was this intentional?
00:09:59Are you trying to punish me?
00:10:01To make me feel guilty?
00:10:03Had I insisted on eating it?
00:10:05Mitchell's memory was failing him.
00:10:07Frightened, I shook my head,
00:10:08unsure what I had done wrong,
00:10:10but knowing I had to admit fault.
00:10:12It's my fault.
00:10:14Mitchell,
00:10:15but I didn't do it intentionally.
00:10:17Please, don't be mad.
00:10:18You little.
00:10:20He stared at me,
00:10:21drawing in a sharp breath,
00:10:23before pulling Maggie along and leaving in a huff.
00:10:25He didn't come to see me again.
00:10:27Two days later,
00:10:28a nurse came to ask me about the medical bill.
00:10:31Uneasy.
00:10:31I opened my phone to check the balance,
00:10:33only to find it down to a single digit.
00:10:36Could I call someone from home?
00:10:37I asked hesitantly.
00:10:39The nurse raised an eyebrow but nodded.
00:10:41Go ahead.
00:10:42It took ages for the call to get through.
00:10:44I spoke cautiously.
00:10:46Mitchell?
00:10:47But Mitchell hung up before I could even finish speaking.
00:10:50The nurse grew impatient.
00:10:52What about the bill?
00:10:54I'll pay it,
00:10:55I replied,
00:10:56flushing with embarrassment under her skeptical gaze.
00:10:59Another day passed with no word from Mitchell.
00:11:01The nurse returned,
00:11:02her tone sharper.
00:11:04You're not planning to skip out on paying, are you?
00:11:06Can't you get in touch with anyone?
00:11:09Do you want me to call the police?
00:11:11I...
00:11:11I was too embarrassed to say a word.
00:11:14I knew there was no one who could come save me.
00:11:16I looked down at the necklace around my neck.
00:11:18It was the last gift my mother had left me.
00:11:20She gave it to me in her final moments.
00:11:23Through countless lonely nights at boarding school,
00:11:25it had always been my emotional pillar.
00:11:27It was also my only valuable possession.
00:11:30I can leave something here as collateral.
00:11:33I'll come back later to pay off the debt.
00:11:36Please...
00:11:37keep it safe for me.
00:11:38The hospital reluctantly accepted the necklace,
00:11:41allowing me to leave.
00:11:42Is it this way?
00:11:44For some reason, my memory seemed to falter.
00:11:46I couldn't recognize familiar streets.
00:11:48The buildings that should have been familiar now
00:11:50looked distorted under the dim streetlights,
00:11:52and my steps grew heavier with each passing minute.
00:11:55My body was still weak from the hospital stay.
00:11:57The allergic reaction had left me.
00:11:59Dizzy and trembling and every shadow made my heart race.
00:12:03Just as I turned into what I thought was a shortcut,
00:12:05two men leaning against a wall spotted me.
00:12:08Their eyes lit up with malicious interest.
00:12:10Hey, little miss.
00:12:11All alone this late?
00:12:13One of them called out,
00:12:14his voice thick with sleaze as he straightened up.
00:12:17The other laughed crudely, cracking his knuckles.
00:12:19Panic surged through me like ice water.
00:12:22I didn't think I just ran.
00:12:23My legs, still unsteady from days in bed,
00:12:26but fear drove me forward.
00:12:28Behind me, heavy footsteps pounded the pavement.
00:12:31Stop running!
00:12:33Bitch!
00:12:33Growing closer, my breath came in ragged gasps.
00:12:36I glanced back and saw their leering faces,
00:12:39one already reaching out.
00:12:40In my terror, my foot caught on an uneven crack school flooding back.
00:12:44The groping hands in the dark.
00:12:46Who's there?
00:12:47Miss, are you alright?
00:12:49Exhausted and disoriented.
00:12:50By nightfall, I finally reached the house.
00:12:53The wind bit into me as I stood shivering outside.
00:12:55I couldn't get in.
00:12:57Through the window, I could hear them laughing.
00:12:59Do you like your gift?
00:13:00This ring is beautiful.
00:13:02A pink diamond.
00:13:03How expensive is it?
00:13:04I saw it at an auction and thought you'd love it.
00:13:06The cost doesn't matter, as long as it makes you happy.
00:13:08The tenderness in Mitchell's gaze as he looked at her was undeniable.
00:13:12Held in his arms, Maggie smiled radiantly, brimming with happiness.
00:13:15For a moment, I was dazed.
00:13:17Every year on my birthday, Mitchell would prepare a gift for me well in advance,
00:13:22putting so much thought into it.
00:13:23Back then, he had looked at me with that same tenderness.
00:13:26I knocked hard on the door, again and again.
00:13:29Eventually, Mitchell came to open it.
00:13:31What are you doing here?
00:13:32He seemed surprised.
00:13:33Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?
00:13:35Maggie walked over.
00:13:36Nora, come inside.
00:13:38Are you feeling better?
00:13:40How did you get so dirty?
00:13:41The hospital kept demanding payment, but I couldn't reach anyone.
00:13:45What?
00:13:46Mitchell frowned.
00:13:47Do you need money for the payment?
00:13:48Let me transfer it to you.
00:13:50Mitchell said, sending me a transfer of $15,000.
00:13:53Is that enough?
00:13:54I nodded, ready to head out and redeem my necklace.
00:13:57Where are you going now?
00:13:58My necklace.
00:13:59I pawned it at the hospital.
00:14:01Before I could leave, Maggie stopped me.
00:14:03It looks like it's going to rain.
00:14:05You just got out of the hospital, so you shouldn't run around.
00:14:08Let the driver handle it.
00:14:10I didn't want to agree, but Mitchell's stare made it clear.
00:14:13If I refused Maggie's suggestion, he'd be furious.
00:14:16The driver was gone for a long time, but came back empty-handed.
00:14:20The nurse said the necklace was missing.
00:14:22I immediately rushed over to the hospital.
00:14:25How could it be gone?
00:14:26How could it just disappear?
00:14:27It's only been two hours!
00:14:29I told you I'd bring the money to get it back!
00:14:31While there are so many people coming and going in the hospital, we don't know what happened.
00:14:35At least you don't have to pay for the treatment.
00:14:37I grabbed the nurse, pleading and demanding an explanation.
00:14:40Please, give it back to me.
00:14:42I beg you.
00:14:44Enough!
00:14:45Stop embarrassing yourself!
00:14:46Mom gave you that necklace, and you hand it over so carelessly.
00:14:49Now it's gone.
00:14:50Who's to blame for that?
00:14:52Mitchell pulled me away, apologized to the nurse, and dragged me out of the hospital.
00:14:56I'll ask someone to look for it.
00:14:57Stop causing a scene.
00:14:58Why are you yelling in public?
00:15:00Do you have no shame?
00:15:01His harsh words left me speechless.
00:15:04I locked myself in my room that night, unable to sleep.
00:15:07For some reason, the loss of that necklace left me terrified and restless.
00:15:11It was one of the few things in my life that truly belonged to me, and yet, I couldn't keep
00:15:16it safe.
00:15:17That night, I dreamt of my mother.
00:15:18She stroked my face, her smile so gentle, her eyes full of pain.
00:15:23My darling, why have you become so thin?
00:15:26Has Mitchell not been taking care of you?
00:15:28I held back my tears and hugged her, crying uncontrollably.
00:15:32Who's been bullying you?
00:15:33Should I teach them a lesson?
00:15:35Was it Mitchell?
00:15:36No, Mom.
00:15:36Mitchell treats me well.
00:15:38I couldn't stop the tears.
00:15:39Mom, I miss you so much.
00:15:40I'm so tired.
00:15:41I lost the necklace you gave me.
00:15:43I'm so useless.
00:15:45The next day, I stayed in my room all day, not wanting to see anyone.
00:15:49Mitchell didn't come to check on me, but Maggie did.
00:15:52When I saw her, I tried to close the door, but she raised her chin, revealing the necklace
00:15:56I'd lost.
00:15:57How did you get that?
00:15:58While I was stunned, Maggie pushed the door open and walked in.
00:16:02Give me back my necklace!
00:16:03Why should I?
00:16:04Mitchell already gave it to me.
00:16:06He said you don't deserve to wear it.
00:16:08That only I can.
00:16:10Maggie avoided my hand, smirking triumphantly.
00:16:13That necklace was my mother's!
00:16:15Give it back to me!
00:16:16I didn't care about anything else, but I couldn't let this go.
00:16:19So, when I lunged for it, she stepped back.
00:16:21As I stumbled, she laughed mockingly.
00:16:23Look at you.
00:16:24You're nothing but a joke now, looking like a beggar.
00:16:27Tell me, what's the point of living like this?
00:16:30Nora, Mitchell doesn't want you anymore.
00:16:32So, holding the necklace, and slowly loosened her grip.
00:16:35You want it?
00:16:37Too bad.
00:16:38I'm not giving it to you.
00:16:40No!
00:16:40Take in this house!
00:16:41Why won't you just leave me alone?
00:16:43When I came to, Maggie was clutching her stomach, collapsing in pain.
00:16:48Maggie.
00:16:48Mitchell stood at the door, his face a mix of shock and fury, shouting her name.
00:16:53My stomach hurts.
00:16:54Maggie cried, looking at me tearfully.
00:16:57Nora, why did you push me?
00:16:58Noah, you're despicable.
00:17:00After all this time, you haven't learned a thing.
00:17:02I don't want to see you ever again.
00:17:03He scooped Maggie into his arms and left without looking back.
00:17:07As they left, Maggie shot me a vengeful look.
00:17:10Her lips moved as she said silently,
00:17:12You're done for.
00:17:13That moment, that look overlapped with memories of our high school graduation.
00:17:16An overwhelming fear gripped me.
00:17:18Was I-
00:17:19I couldn't go back.
00:17:20Terrified, I burst into tears and ran after Mitchell, grabbing his arm.
00:17:24I didn't push her.
00:17:26Mitchell, please believe me.
00:17:28Get off me.
00:17:29Do you even realize she's pregnant?
00:17:31You're trying to kill her.
00:17:32I should have left you in that school forever.
00:17:34How could I have such a cruel sister?
00:17:36Why don't you just die?
00:17:37He flung my hand away and left, just like before.
00:17:40You just die.
00:17:41That sentence merged with the nightmares of my days in school, where every moment felt
00:17:45worse than death.
00:17:47Mitchell, you might not know this, but I've already thought about dying so many times.
00:17:52Couldn't go on.
00:17:53I walked to the window, looking down at where the necklace had fallen, and dialed Mitchell's
00:17:56number.
00:17:58Mitchell, if I die, will you believe me then?
00:18:01I didn't push her.
00:18:02She took Mom's necklace.
00:18:04Then go ahead and die!
00:18:05His voice on the other end was impatient and harsh.
00:18:08Sitting on the windowsill, I dropped the phone and let out a resigned laugh.
00:18:11Then, with my eyes closed, I didn't feel any pain.
00:18:14It all happened so quickly.
00:18:16There wasn't even time to register pain.
00:18:18Instead, an unexpected-
00:18:22Alpha Moretti, do you claim Lydia to be your bound mate for eternity?
00:18:26I do.
00:18:28And you, Lydia Hole, do you accept Sorin Morelli as your Alpha?
00:18:32No.
00:18:33I reject the bond.
00:18:39What did you just say?
00:18:42The month's over.
00:18:43I didn't fall in love with you.
00:18:45You promised you'd let me go.
00:18:47Bullshit.
00:18:47You were with me last night.
00:18:48You love me.
00:18:49Lydia, if a month isn't enough, give me a year, a lifetime.
00:18:53I'll prove it to you.
00:18:55Prove what?
00:18:56By keeping me caged in your territory like a captive pet?
00:18:59Turning our bonding ceremony into a nightmare circus?
00:19:02You're a monster, Sorin, and you always will be.
00:19:05I won't live like this.
00:19:06Back off!
00:19:08We both know you won't stab me with that.
00:19:13Lydia.
00:19:14Let me go, or I'll sever this dragon bond right here in front of you.
00:19:18Three, please, Lydia.
00:19:21Two, one.
00:19:28Go!
00:19:34Yeah.
00:19:35Another night shift.
00:19:37Probably some gang shootout.
00:19:39Jason, I wish I could be with you tonight.
00:19:42It's Valentine's Day after all.
00:19:43Babe, you work too hard.
00:19:44Take your time getting home, okay?
00:19:46I'll catch you later.
00:19:47Don't wait up too long.
00:19:49Love you.
00:19:53Stop!
00:19:54Someone's hurt!
00:20:09Hey!
00:20:10Are you okay?
00:20:12You need help.
00:20:13Get in the ambulance.
00:20:15Now!
00:20:19Who are you?
00:20:20The person trying to keep you alive.
00:20:22You're bleeding out.
00:20:23Let me help.
00:20:36What is that?
00:20:38The equipment.
00:20:39How...
00:20:39This doesn't make any sense.
00:20:41Nothing.
00:20:43Just focus on the blood.
00:20:44Just focus on the blood.
00:20:45You've got a deep tear near the fourth and fifth ribs.
00:20:48Barely missed the lung.
00:20:49You're lucky.
00:20:50You're shaking like a leaf.
00:20:51Yet you don't run?
00:20:52I'm scared to death.
00:20:54But whether you're a serial killer or some fucking monster...
00:20:57Right now, you're just another bleeding body I need to fix.
00:21:08Shit.
00:21:09Sorry, I didn't mean...
00:21:11Easy, nurse.
00:21:12I don't bite.
00:21:14Much.
00:21:22Oh my god.
00:21:23Is that the dragon syndicate?
00:21:25Get down.
00:21:26Humans can't mess with the dragon clan.
00:21:35My king.
00:21:36We came as soon as we got your signal.
00:21:38Well...
00:21:39I guess the mystery's over.
00:21:41You just saved the dragon king...
00:21:43Of the...
00:21:44Moretti clan.
00:21:45Oh god.
00:21:47He's the dragon king of the Moretti clan?
00:21:49I need to get out of here.
00:21:53Sneaky little thing, aren't you?
00:21:58So he's the guy waiting with roses and chocolates tonight.
00:22:02What's next?
00:22:03A sex tape?
00:22:04That's private!
00:22:05Give it back!
00:22:12No wonder you're so jumpy.
00:22:14You smell like a virgin.
00:22:23Are you insane?
00:22:25Let me go!
00:22:26Look down.
00:22:27I can let go right now.
00:22:32Hmm.
00:22:39My dragon core.
00:22:41It actually submitted?
00:22:43My fated mate.
00:22:45The only thing in this damn world that can heal my core.
00:23:03My king.
00:23:04Plan rule seven.
00:23:06Any outsider who sees your true form must be killed on sight to protect the bloodline's secret.
00:23:12No exceptions.
00:23:15Please, please don't kill me.
00:23:16I won't say a word.
00:23:17I swear.
00:23:17I swear.
00:23:18I'll do anything.
00:23:18Just please let me go.
00:23:19You want to live?
00:23:22Then be my fated mate.
00:23:24What?
00:23:25Take my name.
00:23:27Or you'll have to die.
00:23:32Isn't there another way?
00:23:33I'll do anything.
00:23:35I'm a nurse.
00:23:36I can work for you.
00:23:36Rules are rules.
00:23:38This is the only way you stay alive.
00:23:41I'm already engaged.
00:23:43Jason and I, we love each other.
00:23:44Then call it off.
00:23:45He can't protect you.
00:23:47I can.
00:23:47Be my woman.
00:23:49And the world will kneel for you.
00:23:51You sick bastard.
00:23:52Is just a game to you?
00:23:53Kidnap me, ruin my life, and brand me like cattle?
00:23:58If I wanted to destroy you, Angel, you wouldn't even have time to cry.
00:24:02So no, he'll never even get the chance to miss you.
00:24:05Your call.
00:24:16Good girl.
00:24:28I'll stay here until the bombing ceremony.
00:24:32Ready now.
00:24:33Take off your clothes.
00:24:34What the hell do you want?
00:24:35I'm not some hooker.
00:24:38Relax, nurse.
00:24:39Your uniform's soaked in my blood.
00:24:41Unless you want to sleep in it?
00:24:55You tremble like a wounded bird.
00:24:59You goddamn creep!
00:25:02The bonding ceremony is in seven days.
00:25:05That's all the time you have.
00:25:06Seven days to love me.
00:25:08Starting now.
00:25:12Seven days.
00:25:13I have to get out of this hellhole.
00:25:33Well, well.
00:25:34Look what wandered in.
00:25:38Lost, sweetheart?
00:25:41Just looking for something to eat.
00:25:45I got something for you to taste.
00:25:47Real fresh.
00:25:49Yo, man.
00:25:50That's the Alpha's mate.
00:25:52Mate?
00:25:53Please.
00:25:54She's a plaything.
00:25:55He gets bored.
00:25:56He tosses.
00:25:57Might as well let the boys have a little fun before the expiration date.
00:26:02You bitch!
00:26:10You seem to forget who the Dragon King is.
00:26:24Did I say get up?
00:26:25Please.
00:26:26Please.
00:26:27My king.
00:26:28If I catch you looking at her again, you'll eat a bullet.
00:26:39No one ever touches you again.
00:26:41Not unless it's me.
00:26:43Get out of here.
00:26:58Help me down!
00:27:01Help me down!
00:27:02I am going to piss you up.
00:27:04I know.
00:27:19I am going to kill you.
00:27:29And then you can't breathe.
00:27:31Go on. Isn't this what you want? A toy to play with, break, then toss away.
00:27:38You're wrong, Lydia. You're my queen. And I don't break what's mine.
00:27:43But you're going to beg for this on the night of our bonding ceremony.
00:27:47You're the luckiest mortal I've ever seen, my lady.
00:27:50Every female in the realm would kill to be the Alpha's chosen.
00:27:53If waking up every day wondering if your mate is going to execute someone before breakfast is your thing,
00:27:58Sure. He's Prince Charming.
00:28:00You!
00:28:16Not the one? My horde has plenty more.
00:28:20I'd rather wear a body bag.
00:28:23That can be arranged, but I prefer you in white.
00:28:28You know what? Let's try one more dress.
00:28:31Then we're done. For good.
00:28:43Anyone out there? I need a little help.
00:29:10Where's the maid?
00:29:11What did you do to her?
00:29:12I sent her away.
00:29:14No one touches you but me.
00:29:16Not even a thread of this dress.
00:29:22How romantic, you bad king.
00:29:24Should I thank you for letting me breathe on my own, too?
00:29:27You're breathing just fine right now, Makara.
00:29:29But not for long.
00:29:36Tell me, has anyone ever made you tremble like this?
00:29:46I've had better.
00:29:48Men who didn't need to force a blood pact, or who use a dragon's curse to have you dripping.
00:29:59There's my honest girl.
00:30:00That pretty mouth bites me.
00:30:02But these hips, they bang.
00:30:09I need the bathroom.
00:30:11I need the bathroom.
00:30:22Un-Lydia.
00:30:24It only makes catching you sweeter.
00:30:35King.
00:30:36She's gone.
00:30:39Bring her back.
00:30:45Come on, Jason.
00:30:46Pick up.
00:30:46I sent you my location.
00:30:47Please be nearby.
00:30:49Please.
00:30:50Please.
00:30:56I tracked your pin.
00:30:57Get in.
00:31:04Thank God, Jason.
00:31:05You came.
00:31:06You have no idea what I've been through.
00:31:08Hey, you're safe now, all right?
00:31:09Just drink this.
00:31:10You're shaking.
00:31:12You're shaking.
00:31:21Jason, why?
00:31:22Why are we here?
00:31:24Aren't we going home?
00:31:26You've been through hell, Lydia.
00:31:28You need rest.
00:31:29This place is safe.
00:31:30I've got it all handled.
00:31:32Okay.
00:31:33Will you stay with me then?
00:31:34I missed you.
00:31:40Jason.
00:31:41Jason, open the door.
00:31:43What the hell are you doing?
00:31:53I paid for the whole package.
00:31:57Gonna use every hole.
00:32:02Alpha, we tracked her.
00:32:04Her ex took her.
00:32:05But the destination's a hotel.
00:32:08I'm already on my way.
00:32:13Your pretty boy sold you for half my casino profits.
00:32:18You are all mine.
00:32:22No, no, no.
00:32:24Stay away from me.
00:32:27The night is young, bitch.
00:32:29Let's start with a little taming first, yeah?
00:32:38You're gonna pay for that, bitch!
00:32:51Get your fucking hands off her.
00:33:04My king.
00:33:05Killing him here could cause trouble.
00:33:06Do you have any idea who the fuck I am?
00:33:08Dove Vicent backs me!
00:33:10He's getting messy lately.
00:33:11Now I've got even more reasons to kill you.
00:33:13You can't do this!
00:33:15Dunderphone will kill you!
00:33:16Open your eyes, you blind rat.
00:33:18You looking at the dragon king of the Moretti clan.
00:33:21The Vincete pay us for the right to breathe.
00:33:24Chop off his arms and legs.
00:33:25Then dump him in the woods.
00:33:27Let the wolves deal with him.
00:33:31Little adventure's over.
00:33:33Time to come back with me.
00:33:45Sorin, I'm burning up.
00:33:52I'm burning up.
00:33:54Stop moving.
00:33:55You're not thinking straight, Lydia.
00:33:57You've been drugged.
00:34:00The only thing on my mind right now is for you to fuck me until I forget my own name.
00:34:08Careful what you wish for, Mikada.
00:34:10You won't just forget your name.
00:34:11You'll be screaming mine until your voice breaks.
00:34:18Prove it, then.
00:34:31You won't be this lucky next time.
00:34:33Have the priest and the marriage papers ready.
00:34:35We're holding a wedding at dawn.
00:34:42The only thing on my mind right now is for you to fuck me.
00:34:48He didn't touch me last night?
00:34:50What does he really want?
00:34:51The Master expects you downstairs.
00:34:53Presentable this time.
00:35:13Come over and sign.
00:35:15S-s-s-sign what?
00:35:24Your choice.
00:35:25Bonding or death.
00:35:27I don't have a choice, do I?
00:35:31You could always run.
00:35:32I do enjoy the chase.
00:35:34I should run.
00:35:35But God, after all the times he saved me, why is it so hard to walk away?
00:35:41You don't even know me.
00:35:42Why are you so obsessed with bonding with me?
00:35:45I don't need to know my mate in human ways, Lydia.
00:35:47I can feel you.
00:35:49Strawberries.
00:35:50Allergic.
00:35:51Recurring nightmare.
00:35:52Drowning.
00:35:53First kiss?
00:35:54Sixteen.
00:35:55Behind the gym.
00:35:56With a guy named Caleb.
00:35:57You regretted it five minutes later.
00:35:59Admit it no one can truly touch you but me.
00:36:02You visit your mom every Thursday.
00:36:03The cat you lost in second grade?
00:36:06Max.
00:36:07You're sick.
00:36:10Yes, Lydia.
00:36:12I'm sick in love with you.
00:36:14Now sign.
00:36:18Fine.
00:36:20I'll sign your damn blood pact.
00:36:22But we do it my way.
00:36:25You never said a mate bond couldn't be rejected.
00:36:27Thirty days.
00:36:28If you can't make me fall for you by then, you let me go.
00:36:31You void the pant.
00:36:34Nobody bargains with me.
00:36:35But you've got a deal.
00:36:41But when that month ends, and you're still here, I own every piece of you, body and soul.
00:36:51Clock's ticking, my king.
00:36:54Since we're officially bound, we need to lay down some ground rules.
00:36:58Rule number one.
00:36:59No sex.
00:37:00No babies.
00:37:01The absolute last thing I need is walking out of this thirty-day circus knocked up.
00:37:06And what if you're the one who craves first, little bird?
00:37:10Not gonna happen.
00:37:21My turn.
00:37:22Rule two.
00:37:23As my queen, you'll need to get used to the finer things.
00:37:26Wouldn't want anyone thinking I don't spoil my queen properly.
00:37:28Cute.
00:37:30But money doesn't buy me.
00:37:33We've got a whole month, little bird.
00:37:36Don't start a war you can't finish.
00:37:41Tomorrow night, I will introduce you as my queen at the gala.
00:37:44That's an optional.
00:37:45And if I say no?
00:37:47Then I'll consider it foreplay.
00:37:53It's out, it's out.
00:37:54Don't make something.
00:37:55Be ready, Mikada.
00:37:57Don't let me down tomorrow.
00:38:01He's a goddamn psychopath.
00:38:03Why does part of me want to play his game?

00:38:11My name is Kalen.
00:38:13A stray dog who sold himself off.
00:38:17The buyer was Lady Porteria.
00:38:20Countess.
00:38:20Rose Family Bloodline.
00:38:22One condition.
00:38:23I had to be deaf and mute.
00:38:24So I played both.
00:38:26And I became her lawful husband.
00:38:28Simple deal.
00:38:29She gave me money and protection.
00:38:31I was decoration.
00:38:33Didn't have a choice.
00:38:34My little sister Aria was sixteen.
00:38:37Sick.
00:38:38The kind of sick that costs a fortune.
00:38:40The medicine wasn't for people like us.
00:38:42Only nobles could afford it.
00:38:48Wedding night.
00:38:49Candles low.
00:38:50Portia scribbled three lines on a note and shoved it in my face.
00:38:54I'm putting on a show for my ma.
00:38:55I ain't into guys.
00:38:56You're the dog I bought.
00:38:57Stay in the lane.
00:38:59She pulled me onto the bed for the performance.
00:39:02Fists clenched hard enough to bleed.
00:39:03A dog forbidden to bark.
00:39:06Her mother, Lady Katarina, held the real power in the household.
00:39:11Every visit, the same agenda.
00:39:13Pressing us for an heir.
00:39:14Kaelin, looking me up and down like Rive Dock at auction.
00:39:17Are you even capable?
00:39:19Portia kept her face smooth.
00:39:20Wrote on the note.
00:39:22Church medical ruling.
00:39:23He's impotent.
00:39:24We're seeking treatment.
00:39:25Disgust flinkered through Katarina's eyes.
00:39:27Like I was something the dog had dragged in.
00:39:29That night I slept in the kennel.
00:39:32One thought eating at me.
00:39:34Was this all my life would ever be?
00:39:36The second her mother left, Portelia dropped the act.
00:39:40The meal didn't suit her.
00:39:42Silver platter to my face.
00:39:46You're worth less than my horse.
00:39:49I slept on cold stone.
00:39:51Not even a pelt.
00:39:54To her, I was below a rat.
00:40:00Hey baby.
00:40:01You at the Silver Swan Inn?
00:40:03Wait for me.
00:40:10The Silver Swan.
00:40:12The most notorious tryst spot in the city.
00:40:15Something twisted made me follow her.
00:40:21I tucked into a narrow alley.
00:40:24Watched her step out with a stunning red-haired woman wrapped around her arm.
00:40:27I tucked into a narrow alley.
00:40:29The woman pressed a soft kiss to her cheek.
00:40:30Not a man.
00:40:33A woman.
00:40:35My wife had been into women all along.
00:40:37I dragged myself back to the castle like a beaten hound.
00:40:40Rage and humiliation burnt through me.
00:40:43And I couldn't say a single word about it.
00:40:45Trapped in the role of the mute.
00:40:47A few days later, she dropped a parchment scroll at my feet.
00:40:50Note attached.
00:40:51Show my ma.
00:40:51The church checked you out.
00:40:53You're born messed up.
00:40:54Can't have no kids ever.
00:40:55Tell them you're getting treatment good and hard.
00:40:56I picked it up.
00:40:57Forged seal.
00:40:58Falsified statement.
00:40:59Congenital defect.
00:41:00Permanent infertility.
00:41:01The words seared into my skin.
00:41:03The last shred of my dignity burned to ash.
00:41:05She watched me cold.
00:41:07Indifferent.
00:41:08Pleased with her little project.
00:41:11Endure it?
00:41:12To hell with that.
00:41:14Portia.
00:41:15You've made a mistake.
00:41:19My blade was never dull.
00:41:21My seed was never dead.
00:41:23You said I was broken?
00:41:27Portia threw a fake infertility certificate at me.
00:41:31Old me to play the pity card.
00:41:34Said she'd buy my sister's medicine if I pulled it off.
00:41:37I bit my tongue and took it.
00:41:39When Katiana showed up, I played my part like a real damn unimus.
00:41:43Groaning.
00:41:44Praying.
00:41:45Pretending to get treatment.
00:41:46She looked at me like I was a piece of shit.
00:41:48Cursed me out.
00:41:49Said the Rose family was almost ruined because of me.
00:41:51The second she left, Fortuna tossed me a coin purse.
00:41:54Note.
00:41:55Hush money for your bruised pride.
00:41:57I held those cold gold cones.
00:41:58My chest was breaking apart.
00:42:00Did I have any pride left in her eyes at all?
00:42:03That night was when I finally snapped.
00:42:06Portia brought her red-haired mistress, Sophia, home.
00:42:10Wrapped around her in the front hall.
00:42:13Walked her up the stairs.
00:42:15Into our first place.
00:42:18He's just a useless mutt I bought.
00:42:20Who cares if he sees?
00:42:24I stood outside the door.
00:42:26I could hear the bed creaking.
00:42:29The two of them laughing.
00:42:30I clenched my fists till they bled.
00:42:34Galar's forcing me to go back.
00:42:37I run the north.
00:42:40I lost my nerve.
00:42:41This woman was darker and crueler than I'd thought.
00:42:48I crawled back downstairs like a beaten stray.
00:42:52Next day, they set me up.
00:42:54Said I'd stolen Sophia's necklace.
00:42:57Perea slapped me across the face.
00:42:58Each word cut.
00:43:00If you live off stolen coin,
00:43:01your sister dies slow.
00:43:05I shoved past them and ran out of the castle.
00:43:14Then I thought of Arya.
00:43:15And dragged myself back.
00:43:17Found the necklace stuck in the bed frame.
00:43:18Thought I could prove I didn't take it.
00:43:22Portia just wrote.
00:43:23This time, I'll let it slide.
00:43:26She labeled me a thief.
00:43:29Permanently.
00:43:29The truth didn't matter to her.
00:43:32To her, I was born to be scum.
00:43:34The rage burned through every last scrap of patience I had left.
00:43:37No more pretending.
00:43:40I sketched the two of them kissing outside the inn that night.
00:43:43Paid a courier.
00:43:44Sent it straight to Katerina.
00:43:47That evening, Portia came home.
00:43:50Katerina was in the great chair, face like thunder.
00:43:53I stood off to the side, head down.
00:43:55Then slowly, let a sly little smile creep across my face.
00:44:03Portia!
00:44:04Did you really bring that shameless horn into your marriage bed again?
00:44:14Portia caught cheating.
00:44:16Mother and daughter blew up in the great hall.
00:44:20If you don't produce a grandson within a year, I disown you.
00:44:25Portia got beaten down by it.
00:44:27She stormed upstairs in a rage.
00:44:30Kicked me in the gut.
00:44:31Slapped me twice across the face.
00:44:33The old me would have taken.
00:44:34Watching her come unhinged like that, I actually laughed.
00:44:37What the hell are you laughing at?
00:44:38Daggers in her eyes.
00:44:39I wrote it out.
00:44:40I'm just the neutered dog you bought.
00:44:41It's only reet and broken mutt for the boss to beat his dogs.
00:44:43It's the way of things.
00:44:44A dog only gets to laugh.
00:44:46He doesn't get to cry.
00:44:47Her face went dark with rage.
00:44:48She snapped that I was lower than a stray.
00:44:51Slammed the door.
00:44:52Gone.
00:44:53That's when I figured out the game.
00:44:55In public?
00:44:55Keep playing the broken puss otter.
00:44:57Behind closed doors?
00:44:59I'd be her worst nightmare.
00:45:00That same night, Sophia showed up again.
00:45:03I eavesdrop and almost lost it.
00:45:05They were hunting whoever had drawn that picture of them.
00:45:08They suspected an old creep named Tarlin who ran a brothel.
00:45:12Thank the gods.
00:45:13Not me.
00:45:13A few days later, poor Lola got a message.
00:45:15Her face went stone cold.
00:45:23She slipped out with a dagger hidden on her.
00:45:25I tailed her the whole way.
00:45:27She got cornered by Tarlin in a private booth at the blood and sand fighting arena.
00:45:30The old creep forced spiked wine into her and started groping her.
00:45:35Get your hands off her, you sick bastard!
00:45:39Smashed it across Tarlin's skull.
00:45:41Blood everywhere.
00:45:42I slung half-vantianist Portea over my shoulder and got us out.
00:45:46We holed up in an abandoned mill.
00:45:48When she came to, her voice was softer than I'd ever heard it.
00:45:53Who are you?
00:45:55Joker.
00:45:55My name's Joker.
00:45:56I rasped it out, then turned and vanished quick into the dark.
00:45:59Got home and stashed the mask.
00:46:01Porza came back in the middle of the night, kicked me square in the gut, and told me to
00:46:04get the hell out.
00:46:06Like always, I played the obedient dog.
00:46:08But when I was eavesdropping, I heard Sophia ask her who saved her.
00:46:11Porza stayed quiet for a long time, then said she didn't know who it was.
00:46:15But I didn't hate him.
00:46:16He actually reminded me of my old man.
00:46:19Made me feel safe.
00:46:20But she didn't hate him.
00:46:21Said he actually reminded her of her old man.
00:46:23Made her feel safe.
00:46:23I almost laughed my damn head off out in the hallway.
00:46:25That smell she liked?
00:46:26It was horse shit and rust from me.
00:46:28I'm your goddamn husband!
00:46:29Next day, I took a janitor job at Blood and Sand to lay low.
00:46:35Then one afternoon, my boss told me to clean the VIP lounge on the third floor.
00:46:41I pushed the door open, and my brain shut down.
00:46:45My mother-in-law.
00:46:48Katarina.
00:46:50Shit.
00:46:52What was she doing here?
00:46:54Sharon, private room manager, rounded up the staff to work as masked escorts.
00:47:02Drink and chat with rich, noble ladies.
00:47:04I grabbed a dog mask.
00:47:05Thought I was safe.
00:47:07I walked into the room and almost had a heart attack.
00:47:09Katarina was sitting right there.
00:47:18Drunk out of Katarina's mind.
00:47:20She lifted a lazy finger straight at me.
00:47:22I'll take this loyal little dog.
00:47:26My lady, he's mute.
00:47:28Mute is perfect.
00:47:30Quiet.
00:47:31I want him.
00:47:32No way out.
00:47:33I had to stay.
00:47:34Her friend left for the next room, with a man in a lion mask.
00:47:39The flirty moans kicked in immediately.
00:47:41It was just me and a dead drunk Katarina.
00:47:44She stood up, swagging, and leaned right into me.
00:47:47Pushing me into the dark back room and shut the door.
00:47:52She yanked me down to sit, then...
00:47:54The mask's on anyway.
00:47:55Katarina suddenly pulled the mask off.
00:47:57Drunk, she muddled if I was feeling stuffy.
00:47:59And there it went, the mask, hitting the floor.
00:48:01The light in the room fell right on my pale, frozen face.
00:48:07Dead silence.
00:48:13You?
00:48:13You?
00:48:14Kaelin?
00:48:42Kaelin?
00:48:45Katarina and Portia were sitting in the great hall, stone cold.
00:48:48Both of them murderous.
00:48:51Porcilla saw me and came at me like an animal.
00:48:54Ugh!
00:48:55Hit me harder this time.
00:48:58Snatched my notebook and wrote.
00:49:00Now you're not just mute and useless.
00:49:02You're a cheap whore, too?
00:49:04Katarina's voice was ice.
00:49:05Broken, worthless freak.
00:49:07Should have thrown you out long ago.
00:49:10Orcha lost it.
00:49:11Neil, beg me to forgive you.
00:49:13Or I tear up our contract and put you and your dying sister out on the street.
00:49:18Neil, beg.
00:49:18What had I actually done wrong?
00:49:19You people drove me to this.
00:49:21You never treated me like a human being.
00:49:22Her mother is the one who pulled me into a back room and put her hands on me, then attacked
00:49:25me for it.
00:49:25Every bit of pain and anger detonated at once.
00:49:27When Portia raised her hand to strike me again, I moved.
00:49:29I drove my forehead straight into her chest.
00:49:30She crashed to the floor.
00:49:31I didn't look back.
00:49:32I ran straight out of that cursed castle.
00:49:35I tore through the cold wind.
00:49:38Burning.
00:49:39Fine.
00:49:40You want to treat me like a rabid dog?
00:49:42I'll teach you what a dog's bite feels like.
00:49:44A cruel plan formed in my head.
00:49:46If we were already enemies, I was going to play this dirty.
00:49:49I used Sharon's coin to buy a vials of dream haze.
00:49:51The kind that fogs the mind.
00:49:52Leaves you weak.
00:49:53Desperate.
00:49:54Portia.
00:49:54You love calling me useless.
00:49:55You hate the thought of me touching you.
00:49:56Perfect.
00:49:56I'm gonna touch you.
00:49:57And I'm gonna make you carry my child.
00:49:59Late that night, I snuck back into the castle.
00:50:01Slipped into her bedchamber.
00:50:03She was in the bath.
00:50:05I crept in.
00:50:07Dumped the entire vial into her water cup.
00:50:09Stirred it clear.
00:50:10And crawled under her bed.
00:50:12She finished her bath.
00:50:14Came back.
00:50:14Drank the cup down.
00:50:15A few minutes.
00:50:16Her breathing went heavy.
00:50:18She tossed in the sheets.
00:50:19This was my chance.
00:50:20I crawled out from under the bed.
00:50:22Slow.
00:50:22Stood over the bed.
00:50:24Moonlight on the woman who'd ground me under her boot for months.
00:50:26She was lying there defenseless.
00:50:27Nightgown half undone.
00:50:28Skin exposed.
00:50:29Her face flushed from the drug.
00:50:30Lips parted.
00:50:32Fragile.
00:50:32And dangerous.
00:50:33I swallowed.
00:50:34Hatred.
00:50:35The thrill of payback.
00:50:36Pure.
00:50:37Burning lust.
00:50:39Every doubt I had got wiped out.
00:50:40My hands were shaking.
00:50:41But I knew exactly what I was doing.
00:50:43My hands were on Porlea.
00:50:45She was supposed to be drugged senseless.
00:50:46I reached for her.
00:50:47I touched her.
00:50:48Then her eyes snapped open.
00:50:52My hands were on Porlea.
00:50:53She was supposed to be drugged senseless.
00:50:55Then her eyes snapped open.
00:50:57She pulled a small blade from under her pillow.
00:51:00Drove it into me.
00:51:02Pain and shock.
00:51:03Then nothing.
00:51:04Porlea lost it.
00:51:06I came to tie to a chair.
00:51:13Good call warning me.
00:51:15This piece of trash actually tried to drug me.
00:51:19Lucky I had the blade ready.
00:51:20Cold smile.
00:51:22She picked up her riding cup.
00:51:24Started in on me.
00:51:27Trash.
00:51:28Animals.
00:51:29Worthless cur.
00:51:30Each lash split my skin.
00:51:32I bit down.
00:51:33Didn't make a sound.
00:51:34Half an hour.
00:51:35She kicked me to the floor.
00:51:40Taped my mouth shut with alchemist tape.
00:51:43Tied me to the foot of her bed.
00:51:45Went to sleep.
00:51:46Two days.
00:51:47Two nights.
00:51:48No food.
00:51:49No water.
00:51:50My calm crystal kept flashing on the floor.
00:51:54My sister was blowing up my line.
00:51:56I was dying inside.
00:51:58I couldn't move.
00:51:59Day three.
00:52:00Portolia came back.
00:52:02Dumped a bucket of dirty horse water on me to wake me up.
00:52:05Filthy dog.
00:52:06So desperate you drink horse slop.
00:52:09She cut my ropes.
00:52:11Left a note.
00:52:11Try that again and I kill you.
00:52:13I collapsed.
00:52:14Crawled to the bucket.
00:52:15Drank it.
00:52:16Ate scraps off the floor.
00:52:17Grabbed my crystal.
00:52:18Dozens of emergency messages from my sister and the nun.
00:52:21Aria's blood plague had flared up.
00:52:22Heavy bleeding.
00:52:23Almost died.
00:52:24No coin.
00:52:25No signature.
00:52:26Treatment was on hold.
00:52:27Looking at my sister's pale little face on the screen.
00:52:29My heart broke clean in half.
00:52:35Poria's chains had almost killed my baby sister.
00:52:38To scrape together the medical bill, I bit down everything.
00:52:40Crawled back to Roseman and wrote a long apology.
00:52:43Cried.
00:52:44Called myself worthless.
00:52:45Portia read it and scoffed.
00:52:48At least you know what you are.
00:52:49She wrote, 500 extra gold this month for her medicine.
00:52:52I swallowed every last shred of pride and begged for 50,000 to save my sister.
00:52:57She wrote back, fine.
00:52:59Kneel.
00:53:00Call me master.
00:53:02I dropped to my knees on the cold stone.
00:53:04Bowed.
00:53:05Held up my crystal and spelled out the word.
00:53:07Master.
00:53:08Portla pressed her boot under my chin.
00:53:10Smiled.
00:53:10Pleased with herself.
00:53:12I can bend.
00:53:12I will not break.
00:53:13Every dirty thing you've done I'll pay back tenfold.
00:53:16My opening came faster than I expected.
00:53:18That night, Sophia came over crying again.
00:53:21Said Tarvin wouldn't leave her alone.
00:53:23Already handled.
00:53:24The city watch is raiding Blood and Sam tonight for illegal contraband.
00:53:28I stood outside the door, heart racing.
00:53:31A wild plan came together.
00:53:33Was going to flip.
00:53:40Tip Tarfer off about Portia's move.
00:53:42I watched Portia and Sophia walk into Blood and Sound and take a corner table.
00:53:47They were there to enjoy the show.
00:53:50Soon the watch horns blared.
00:53:52A squad of guards rushed in, claiming a tip about contraband.
00:53:56Portia leaned forward, barely hiding her excitement.
00:53:58The guards tore the place apart.
00:54:00Found nothing.
00:54:01The second they left, Portia's face went black.
00:54:04Pure shock.
00:54:05I was hidden in the shadows.
00:54:07I couldn't stop grinning.
00:54:08Nothing felt better than watching her fall flat.
00:54:10This was just the start.
00:54:12I was going to make her fail.
00:54:14Over and over.
00:54:15Until she broke.
00:54:16I was already planning the next blow when Portla's eyes locked right on me.
00:54:20Like she'd just marked her prey.
00:54:23The four families allied for the South Sea blood sacrifice, so they forced 36 lives of
00:54:28the Ravenclanum to suppress the ancient horrors of the Deep, so it was never a bloody random
00:54:34drawback then.
00:54:37You bastards conspired to shove my ancestors onto the altar as your scapegoats!
00:54:45Damn it.
00:54:45The ruined energy has already invaded her heartmercuries.
00:54:48To cure her soul immediately, she won't survive the night.
00:54:50My bride, Scarlet, you've waited for me for a hundred years.
00:54:55Since you played dirty, don't blame me for being ruthless.
00:54:59Once I-
00:55:00It's freezing outside, time to warm up a bit.
00:55:02I'm burning up.
00:55:04There's no way to run now.
00:55:07I left my bride in the ocean for a hundred years.
00:55:11After I got my memories back, I tried to find her, but I ran into three ex-girlfriends
00:55:16on this island.
00:55:20Is that so?
00:55:21Then I'll give you one more chance.
00:55:25Why does it feel so slimy?
00:55:27And scales?
00:55:30Your hand feels so good.
00:55:33Give me all your power.
00:55:41Get lost.
00:55:48Do you really think I'd kiss any filthy, stinking thing?
00:55:51You can't escape!
00:55:52The moment you stepped onto this island, you became a sacrifice for the shipkeeper!
00:55:58Shipkeeper?
00:55:59She was my bride.
00:56:01She's keeping the ship for me.
00:56:05Since y'all came, face the demon now.
00:56:24Let me go, please!
00:56:27I had no choice, but to leave you back then.
00:56:35What turned you into this freaky look?
00:56:46Your soul's scattered, or become my maids.
00:56:49Choose for yourself.
00:56:53I'm willing to be your pet.
00:56:56Please spare me, Master.
00:57:01We are all willing to be your pet.
00:57:22Master, we are yours now.
00:57:25Do you want to continue the warm-up we were just doing?
00:57:28Yes.
00:57:42Who took the sacrifice of the scapegoat ship shall die.
00:57:56Master, be careful!
00:57:57It's the guiding titan of the scapegoat ship!
00:57:59It's nothing but a piece of my devil dragon.
00:58:14How is this possible?
00:58:21The netherworlds shall not pass.
00:58:25The sea-quaking divine might!
00:58:29Break!
00:58:45Scapegoat-guiding pearl?
00:58:47Separated from my body for a hundred years, it's finally back in my hands.
00:58:51Master, you're amazing!
00:58:53You even one-shot the guiding titan.
00:58:57Now that the guiding titan is dead, the scapegoat ship will definitely notice.
00:59:03Should we hide for a bit?
00:59:10Hide?
00:59:11I don't even know what that means.
00:59:13Yes.
00:59:35My bride, Scarlet, you've waited for me for a hundred years, haven't you?
00:59:46You are finally here.
00:59:56I don't know.
01:00:10So disgusting!
01:00:11These are Carmen water apes raised by the scapegoat ship on the island specifically to eat corpses!
01:00:19What are you afraid of?
01:00:20They're just a few carriers-eating water rats.
01:00:23Go drain them of their ruined energy.
01:00:25Don't make me think you three are just vases, meant for warming my bed.
01:00:33Yes, Master.
01:00:35I've been starving for so long.
01:00:45Little monkeys, be good.
01:00:49Or Big Sister is going to give you a shot!
01:00:58By devousing the ruined energy of these water monkeys, my Devil Dragon bloodline can level up again.
01:01:06I doubt it's fine.
01:01:19Awesome!
01:01:21This feeling of turning the enemy's power into my own will is truly addictive!
