00:01I carried my daughter Anna's urn up the mountain in the dark.
00:07This was her favorite place.
00:09She used to say that at as long as she looked up, she could always see stars that never lie.
00:14She said it on her seventh birthday.
00:16That same day she died in a hospital bed.
00:20Riken poisoning.
00:29Vincent, deeper.
00:31Slow down.
00:33Tonight I'm yours.
00:36My husband's voice, unastigmatizable.
00:39I thought your kid was sick.
00:40Aren't you afraid your wife will throw a fit?
00:42Don't bring them up.
00:43Chloe's the best at playing the victim.
00:45She's probably using the kid again, trying to chain me down.
00:48Between me and your daughter, who do you love more?
00:51You, of course, Camilla.
00:52She's just a kid.
00:53There'll always be better ones.
00:54He didn't know Anna was already ash in my arms.
00:57And I was not ready to tell him yet.
01:02Vincent froze.
01:04Chloe?
01:05You followed me?
01:06This is my daughter's favorite place.
01:10I curled around the urn on instinct, shielding it with my body.
01:13I thought of everything I had given this family.
01:16My parents' inheritance, my youth, my silence.
01:19And this was what I earned.
01:21Vincent, don't.
01:22She's still your wife.
01:23Then she pressed her lips together and said it.
01:26She was pregnant.
01:28When the baby is born, you can raise it.
01:31As the heir.
01:32The prenatal checkup on Anna's birthday.
01:35That was where Vincent had been.
01:38Vincent shoved me back down.
01:40He stood over me, staring at the box pressed against my legs.
01:45What is that you're holding?
01:47I told Vincent he didn't deserve to know what was in the box.
01:50By the time I reached the mansion, I was soaked through.
01:53Fever burning in my bones.
01:56The door flew open.
02:00You ruined Anna's birthday and now you're ruining the atmosphere at home?
02:05Camilla bent down as if to help me sit up.
02:07Where Vincent couldn't see, her nails dug into the soft flesh inside my arm and twisted.
02:12You see?
02:13Chloe's so moved, she's crying.
02:16She tore the wrapping off the gift box herself.
02:18The instant the lid came up, a thick, clanging scent spread through the room.
02:21My mind detonated.
02:23That smell, synthetic rose, sickly sweet, was identical to the lingering scent in Anna's hospital room the day she died.
02:29Rikus poisoning came with exactly that kind of attractant.
02:33It was you.
02:35You poisoned Anna.
02:36I had no idea where the strength came from.
02:38I lunged across the bed and locked both hands around her throat.
02:46The first thing he did was pull Camilla into his arms and check her throat.
02:51Are you hurt?
02:53That woman is a raving lunaturk.
02:55Don't blame Chloe.
02:56She must be in shock.
02:58Being upset makes it okay to kill someone?
03:00If anything happens to the baby, I'll have you buried with it.
03:03I braced against the bedpost and pushed myself upright.
03:06My daughter was dead.
03:08Dead from the poison this woman in his arms had given her.
03:11And Anna's own father was threatening my life just to protect the person who killed his child.
03:19Vincent, tomorrow morning at 10.
03:21In the family council hall, I'm divorcing you.
03:24Divorce?
03:25Cut the hard-to-get act.
03:27It's disgusting.
03:28I didn't look at him again.
03:30I gathered the urn into my arms and walked out the door.
03:35His stunned face filled the bedroom doorway as it closed behind me.
03:40For the first time in years, he had no answer.
03:44The next morning, I walked into the Lucane council hall in a stark black dress, the urse in my arms.
03:50Vincent sat at the head of the table, Camilla beside him like the lady of the house.
03:54I crossed to the far end and slammed a yellow document onto the polished wood.
03:58The pre-Nothwittle agreement our parents signed when you insisted on marrying me.
04:01Clause 10.
04:02If the husband betrays the marriage, the wife may dissolve it.
04:04The Lucides family must repay the Costa family's emergency capital, 800 million plus 10 years inflation.
04:10And the one who broke faith must cut off one finger under our code.
04:13The room erupted.
04:14It was not what they wanted to hear.
04:16Then the elders found their voices.
04:18Your father's dead.
04:20The Lucanis are at the top now.
04:22Who do you think you are, waving some old piece of paper around and barking orders?
04:27One by one, they fell in line behind Vincent, the same men who'd once bowed to my father.
04:32Vincent swept the agreement off the table.
04:34Every ally my father had left me had just turned against me.
04:39I stared at the documents spread across the floor.
04:43And asked myself what leverage I had left.
04:46Vincent came toward me step by step, his shadow swallowing mine.
04:52Your parents are dead.
04:54You're alone.
05:05Hand Anna over.
05:06Custody goes to me.
05:08Three million dollars.
05:09Take it.
05:10Get out of my sight and get out of this city.
05:12That's right, Chloe.
05:13I'll love Anna like she's my own.
05:16She can be a playmate for our baby.
05:21A playmate?
05:22For the child of the woman who had poisoned her?
05:28Three million to hand my daughter to her killer?
05:30You've been asking what I've been carrying this whole time, haven't you, Vincent?
05:34I loosened the black velvet cloth at my chest and felt the cold stone beneath it.
05:38He kept asking for Anna.
05:40It was time he knew where she was.
05:43I pulled the velvet away and slammed the cold stone urn onto the center of the conference table.
05:49The Anna you want is right here.
05:53The room went dead silent.
05:55What did you say?
05:57While you were at a prenatal checkup with that woman, while you were holding Anna's killer like she was a
06:03treasure,
06:04your daughter had already been turned to ashes.
06:08Vincent lurched to his feet.
06:10His chair toppled behind him.
06:12I pulled out my phone and shoved the screen in his face.
06:14The cremation certificate, the death notice, the time stamp.
06:18Her seventh birthday.
06:20Read the date.
06:23His hands shook as he dialed the hospital director.
06:26The hall went so quiet the only sound was his breathing.
06:29The director's voice crackled over the speaker.
06:31Miss Luciani passed away three days ago on her birthday.
06:34Cause of death, poisoning, resuscitation successful.
06:36The remains were cremated with Mrs. Luciani's signed consent.
06:42The last thing she said before she died was,
06:44Why won't Daddy come see me?
06:46For one moment I thought Vincent might actually touch the urn.
06:50His trembling fingers were inches from the stone.
06:53Then Camilla's hand shrat between them.
06:56She yanked him back, sobbing.
06:58Performing grief better than I could manage with my whole body.
07:01Vincent, don't.
07:02You'll hurt yourself.
07:03This is all my fault.
07:04If I hadn't asked you to come to the checkup that day...
07:07Vince's hand turned and clasped hers instead.
07:09The guilt in his eyes was swallowed by something darker.
07:11Vincent.
07:13Open your eyes.
07:15She poisoned Anna.
07:16Veneta sprang up, dragged Camilla behind him, and slammed his gun on the table.
07:20Anyone who lays a hand on her is declaring war on the Luches family.
07:24Camilla is carrying the only Luches' heir.
07:26You don't risk the bloodline.
07:28The elders shifted in their chairs.
07:30Camilla curled into his chest, her smile razor sharp for a half second before she buried it.
07:35I looked at all of them and felt the last scrub of light inside me go out.
07:39I lifted the urn.
07:43Stop.
07:44Put the box down.
07:45Anna is a Luchenas.
07:47Even in death, she belongs here.
07:50Big men closed in.
07:52One caught my arm and ranked it back.
07:56I hit the rain-soaked ground and slid across the mud.
07:59Clothes and skin smeared and soaked.
08:02The heavy front doors began to swing shut.
08:10Rain and dirt pelted my face.
08:12I reached inside my coat and pulled out a satellite phone I had never used,
08:16the one my father's most loyal man had pressed into my hand years ago
08:19and told me to save for the moment everything else failed.
08:22Bring the net in.
08:23I want the Luches' family wiped out.
08:42You've had a rough time, my dear sister.
08:44My nose sting.
08:46I looked at the boy who'd become a man.
08:48Salvatore Costa, the last secret my parents and I kept from the world.
08:52As a child, terrified enemies would wipe out our bloodline.
08:56My parents secretly sent my newborn brother away and told everyone he'd died.
08:59Only I knew my father's most loyal lieutenant had raised him in the shadows.
09:03For seven years, Salvatore grew up like a wild thing in the dark.
09:06Now he ran the entire West Coast underworld.
09:09The Costa family's real Trump ball.
09:11He handed me a dry towel, his voice low.
09:13I already heard about Anna.
09:18I'm going to destroy the Luches' family.
09:20I want Vincent and Camilla to live worse than they die.
09:24A bloodthirsty smile tugged at Salvatore's lips.
09:27He placed a cold handgun in my palm.
09:29I closed my fingers around the grip.
09:33The rain kept falling.
09:37The Costa family was about to wake up.
09:42Three months.
09:43Hand-to-hand combat.
09:45Shooting.
09:46Business negotiations.
09:49Salvatore and I worked in tandem.
09:51We choked the Luchesi supply chains, seized their territories, turned their upper management.
09:56Vincentit was barely holding his empire together.
09:59Tonight was their biggest arms deal.
10:01If it fell through, their cash flow would snap for good.
10:04Salvatore and I were already inside Warehouse 9 at Los Angeles Harbor when the convoy rolled in.
10:10Vincentit climbed out of the lead car, scanning the dock for his dealer.
10:13Instead, he found me, standing on top of a shipping container, flanked by dozens of armed men in black.
10:19Chloe, it's you?
10:21You're the one who's been coming after me?
10:23Long time no-see, Vincentit.
10:25Do you like my little welcome gift?
10:28He laughed.
10:29Fury dressed up as contempt.
10:31His eyes slid to Salvatore beside the container.
10:34You found yourself a pretty boy.
10:36To get back at me, you're shacking up with some kept little toy?
10:39No wonder Anna never looked a thing like me.
10:44Maybe she was never my kid at all.
10:46The air inside the warehouse went sub-zero.
10:49He could drag my name through the mud.
10:51He never should have touched Anna's.
10:54I jumped down from the container.
10:56My heels cracked against the concrete, each step echoing toward him.
11:01Vincent was still sneering when my hand connected with his face.
11:05The slap echoed through the entire warehouse.
11:08You don't deserve to say her name.
11:16He reached for his gun.
11:18A click stopped him cold.
11:19Salvatore had moved without a sound.
11:21The muzzle of a desert amig was now pressed flat against Vincent's forehead.
11:27Who the hell are you?
11:30Killing Vincent here would be a favor.
11:32Don't be in such a rush to die, Vincita.
11:34In three days, at the Mafia Alliance Summit, I'll be giving you and Camilla a real present.
11:38I reached out and patted his swollen, bleeding cheek.
11:42Wash your neck and wait.
11:44The show's only just getting started.
11:47I turned and walked back toward the container.
11:51Three days later, I walked into the Los Angeles Hilton Ballroom on Salvatore's arm.
11:57A thousand needle-sharp looks tracked every step.
12:00I heard the whispers.
12:02Crazy Costa woman.
12:04New sugar daddy.
12:05I kept walking.
12:06Vincent stood on the raised stage, whiskey glass turning lazy circles in his hand.
12:11Camilla was beside him in white, pure as an angel.
12:13He leaned into the mic.
12:14Before we begin, a personal announcement.
12:16Chloe Costa and I are officially divorced.
12:18This marriage failed because Chloe cheated.
12:21That seven-year-old daughter who just died?
12:24She was never mine.
12:25The man beside her now is the one she cheated with.
12:28The room boiled over.
12:30I stood at the foot of the stage and listened to every word.
12:34Veneta laced his fingers through Camilla's and raised their hands high.
12:38The crowd cheered.
12:39I raised my hands and began to clap.
12:41Slow.
12:42Deliberate.
12:43In the middle of all the jeeling, the sound cut through like glass.
12:46I climbed the stage steps, one by one.
12:48What a touching love story.
12:50I'm almost in tears.
12:51But these tears aren't for two adulterers.
12:53They're for my dead daughter.
12:55The room went silent.
12:57I had the stage.
12:58Now, I needed to use it.
13:00Anna's death certificate filled the ballroom screen.
13:02Cause of death?
13:04Ricin poisoning.
13:05The room went stirred it.
13:07Vincent, that kind-hearted woman you're so proud of, murdered your daughter with her own hands.
13:12She's lying!
13:13This is slander!
13:14She's trying to turn you against me!
13:15If it's slander, ask him.
13:17I tilted my head.
13:18Two of my men dragged a battered old man onto the stage,
13:21the longtime Lucassi servant who had taken care of Anna's daily life.
13:25He collapsed to his knees.
13:27It was Camilla.
13:28She gave me three million dollars to save my sick husband.
13:31In exchange, I had to rub Rigen on Miss Anna's scarf.
13:34You're lying!
13:35She bought you off!
13:36I held up the silk scarf, still faintly scented.
13:39I crossed the stage and stopped in front of Vincent.
13:42Smell it.
13:43Isn't it exactly like the present you picked out for Anna?
13:46That scent?
13:47It's the same rose you had specially prepared for your mountaintop tryst with her.
13:51The color drained from Vincent's face.
13:53He remembered the claying smell when Camilla opened the gift in the mansion.
13:57He remembered the doctor mentioning an unusual odor around Anna's hospital bed.
14:01He turned slowly toward Camilla.
14:05Camilla.
14:07Why did you kill Anna?
14:11Camilla stopped crying, mouth viciously twisted.
14:13Why?
14:14Because she didn't deserve to live.
14:15She was yours with this woman.
14:17Vincent Lucchiani, did you forget who slaughtered my entire family for a piece of land 20 years ago?
14:21The minute your parents killed my father, my only purpose in living was to make sure you wished you were
14:24dead.
14:26Vincent froze as if lightning had struck him.
14:28I got close to you on purpose.
14:30I studied Chloe, copied her, learned how to please you.
14:33Poisoning Anna was the point.
14:35I wanted you to watch your own blood die helpless in front of you.
14:38That's my revenge.
14:40Satisfied?
14:41Vincent's hands shook.
14:43He lunged for her.
14:45I moved faster.
14:47Anna's paternity report, done seven years ago and again three years ago.
14:50Both show a 99% probability that you and Anna are biologically father and daughter.
14:54Vincent's hands shook as he stared at the page, his real daughter, the girl he'd called a bastard even after
14:59she died, killed by the woman he cradled in his hand.
15:02I leaned in close.
15:04My voice a whisper meant only for him.
15:07How does it feel knowing you helped kill your only child?
15:12Vincent gripped the paternity report until his knuckles went white.
15:16He stared at Anna's face on the projection screen, then turned toward Camilla.
15:27Anyone who comes closer, I'll shoot!
15:29The ballroom exploded.
15:30Vincent moved toward her anyway, madness cracking his eyes.
15:33Before she could press the barrel to her temple, two of Salvatore men slammed into her.
15:37The shot went wild and they knocked the gun away, pinning her to the marble floor a heartbeat later.
15:41I walked over to where Camilla lay restrained and looked down at her.
15:44Die?
15:45That would be far too easy.
15:46I snapped my fingers.
15:47The projector switched to a new set of images.
15:50Camilla in dim bars, caked in heavy makeup with tattooed men whose faces she would not remember.
15:55The room held its breath.
15:57Turn it off!
15:58Turn it off!
15:59Even she doesn't know who the father is.
16:02Yet you threw me and Anna away for that child.
16:06Vincent's eyes went bloodshot.
16:08He lunged for Camilla's hair.
16:10Hospital.
16:11St. Mary's.
16:12We're doing an amyocestica tonight.
16:14I want you to watch whatever's left of your fantasy die in front of you.
16:19I turned and walked toward the exit.
16:23Vincent followed.
16:25Two in the morning.
16:26St. Mary's Hospital, Los Angeles.
16:29The Rush Amino report shook in the doctor's hands as he passed it to Vincent.
16:35Biological father relationship excluded.
16:38Zero percent.
16:39Vincent collapsed onto the cold plastic bench.
16:42The report slid from his fingers and scattered across the floor.
16:47He lifted his head and looked at me standing in the harsh hallway light.
16:51And his eyes were as low and lost as a stray dog's.
16:54Chloe, I'm sorry.
16:55I'm sorry for you.
16:57I'm sorry for Anna.
16:58He slid off the bench and dropped to his knees so fast his kneecaps cracked against the tile.
17:03He started slapping himself hard over and over until one side of his face was swollen red.
17:09I was wrong.
17:11Please kill me.
17:12Tell me how to make it right.
17:14Go apologize to Anna, the girl who died on her birthday still calling your name.
17:19He pulled the family handgun from his waistband and pressed it to his temple.
17:24His finger tightened on the trigger.
17:26My foot lashed out.
17:28Death is mercy.
17:30I want every second you spend breathing to be a loop.
17:32Close your eyes and all you see is how Anna died.
17:35Open them and all you hear is the filth you threw on her name.
17:37That's the only punishment that fits.
17:42One month later, I laid Anna's urn to rest beside my parents' graves.
17:46I arranged fresh flowers on the headstone and let my fingers rest on her photograph for a moment.
17:52The grief was still there.
17:54It would always be there.
17:56But it was quiet now.
17:58Salvatore stood behind me under a black umbrella.
18:01Vanessa transferred all Lucrosi assets and territory to the Costa family.
18:05Consider it paying back the debt.
18:08And last night, he killed Camila.
18:11And Vincenza?
18:12Missing.
18:13Someone spotted a homeless man near the cemetery slums.
18:16He carries a ragged teddy bear and mutters to himself all day,
18:19Don't be scared, Anna.
18:21Daddy's here.
18:22I rose to my feet and let the rain soak the hem of my coat.
18:25I looked at Anna's photograph one last time.
18:28The girl who had counted stars that never lie.
18:32The girl who had waited for a father who never came.
18:36She was with my parents now.
18:38She was not waiting anymore.
18:40I turned away from the headstone and walked into the rain, not looking back.
18:45The rise of the Costa family was only just beginning.
18:50So was my life.
18:51Good.
18:52I don't really have a sad silence.
18:54I'm going to pass.
