00:00:00My mom Lily is a homewrecker. Everyone knows she breaks families.
00:00:04Every word cuts deep into my heart.
00:00:06The entire ballroom fell dead silent.
00:00:08Seven years ago, Oliver and I fell in love.
00:00:11We planned to run away together.
00:00:12Instead, his family kidnapped me.
00:00:14They sold me to a cartel in Mexico and told Oliver I took a payoff and abandoned him.
00:00:18When Oliver finally tracked me down and saved me, Leo was already five.
00:00:21During my five years of living hell across the border,
00:00:24the only thing keeping me alive was the thought of Oliver and our baby.
00:00:26That night, passing his study, I heard voices through the half-open door.
00:00:30My mom Lily is a homewrecker.
00:00:32Everyone knows she breaks families.
00:00:34She told bad lies to steal my dad away from the nice lady he was supposed to marry.
00:00:37She forced him to marry her.
00:00:38She's gross.
00:00:39And every time I look at her, I just want to throw up.
00:00:43Every word cuts deep into my heart.
00:00:46Leo lowered his cue cards.
00:00:47The entire ballroom fell dead silent.
00:00:49The head butler awkwardly ushered him off the stage.
00:00:51The socialites raised their champagne glasses.
00:00:54And the snide remarks came freely.
00:00:56Well, once a woman shoots adult films, no amount of money can wash the dirt off.
00:01:01Even her own son is disgusted by her.
00:01:03Please, Reed worships the ground she walks on.
00:01:05He's the wealthiest man in New York, but he even gave up his inheritance for her.
00:01:08Even after she took a five million dollar buyout and abandoned her newborn baby,
00:01:11he still hunted her down and married her.
00:01:12Hearing those whispers, the agonizing knot in my chest loosened just a fraction.
00:01:16The whole world could despise me.
00:01:19As long as Oliver loved me unconditionally, that was enough.
00:01:23That night, passing his study, I heard voices through the half-open door.
00:01:27It shattered my fantasy into pieces.
00:01:29Mr. Reed, was it really necessary to let your son humiliate your wife like that?
00:01:33Is that healthy for the boy?
00:01:38Did Leo say anything wrong?
00:01:41Besides, he's Tiffany's son.
00:01:42You know that.
00:01:45Tiffany?
00:01:46The woman who married Oliver in an arranged union after I disappeared?
00:01:50The woman Leo had called mom for five years?
00:01:53But Oliver told me he'd only married Tiffany so Leo could have a home.
00:01:56He said he couldn't even stand the sight of her.
00:01:58And Leo...
00:01:59Leo was my son.
00:02:01How could he be Tiffany's?
00:02:02When I finally found Lily, she was a wreck.
00:02:06If I told her our baby had died years ago, it would have broken her completely.
00:02:10So I told her Leo was hers.
00:02:12My head seemed to explode.
00:02:13A deafening ring took over my ears.
00:02:15During my five years of living hell across the border,
00:02:18the only thing keeping me alive was the thought of Oliver and our baby.
00:02:21Turns out my baby was dead.
00:02:24And all this time I had been raising my rival's child.
00:02:28Did you send the video of Leo's speech to Tiffany?
00:02:31Yes, sir.
00:02:32All of it.
00:02:32I made sure to zoom in on Mrs. Reed's face.
00:02:35Miss Vance was absolutely thrilled.
00:02:37Tiffany's so easy to please.
00:02:38Humiliate Lily a little and she does whatever I want in bed.
00:02:41Not like Lily.
00:02:42She's already been passed around and used up,
00:02:44yet she still pulls that traumatized victim act on me.
00:02:46Won't even let me leave the lights on.
00:02:48Totally kills the mood.
00:02:49Then who do you actually love, sir?
00:02:50I love Lily.
00:02:52I know she was forced to leave somehow and she'll always be Mrs. Reed.
00:02:56But she's tainted now.
00:02:57Tiffany loves me.
00:02:58She doesn't ask for a ring and she's a total freak in bed.
00:03:01Leo adores her.
00:03:02Having an extra body to warm the sheets changes absolutely nothing.
00:03:05I don't remember how I made it back to our bedroom.
00:03:08Humiliation and anguish tore at my insides,
00:03:11leaving me cold all over,
00:03:12yet unable to shed a single tear.
00:03:14Oliver's great love was a lie from the very beginning.
00:03:20Lily,
00:03:21Leo is doing perfectly fine at school.
00:03:23There was a little mishap during his speech today,
00:03:25but he's just a child.
00:03:26Don't take it to heart.
00:03:28Clinging to one last hope,
00:03:29I reached back and rested my hand on his chest.
00:03:35I'm exhausted tonight, baby.
00:03:37The sound of running shower water woke me up.
00:03:40The sound came from the bathroom,
00:03:42mixed with his heavy panting.
00:03:43Aren't you afraid your wife will hear us?
00:03:45Let her.
00:03:45She's so damn clueless,
00:03:47she'd probably think I'm jerking off to her.
00:03:52The fake death plan.
00:03:54I'm in.
00:03:59Seven years ago,
00:04:00Oliver and I fell in love,
00:04:01but his family hated me.
00:04:03On the night I gave birth,
00:04:04we planned to run away together.
00:04:05Instead,
00:04:06his family kidnapped me.
00:04:08They sold me to a cartel in Mexico
00:04:09and told Oliver I took a payoff and abandoned him.
00:04:12For years,
00:04:12I lived through hell.
00:04:13When Oliver finally tracked me down and saved me,
00:04:16Leo was already five,
00:04:17but Leo was never my son.
00:04:21What's wrong, Lily?
00:04:22Nightmares again?
00:04:24Shh.
00:04:25It's okay.
00:04:26I'm here.
00:04:32Oliver,
00:04:32I need your signature on something tomorrow.
00:04:34Uh-huh.
00:04:35Sure,
00:04:36bring it to me tomorrow.
00:04:36The next day was my late mother's birthday.
00:04:38He still got up early
00:04:39to make French toast for me.
00:04:41Anyone would think
00:04:42he's a devoted,
00:04:43loving husband.
00:04:44But this time,
00:04:45I noticed he made
00:04:45two portions of breakfast.
00:04:47Dad,
00:04:47Mom hasn't eaten yet.
00:04:49You know her stomach acts up
00:04:50if she doesn't eat.
00:04:52Lily,
00:04:53I'm dropping Leo off at school first.
00:04:54I'll take you to the cemetery
00:04:55to see Mom when I get back.
00:04:56Remember to let the toast cool down
00:04:57before you eat it.
00:04:58Don't burn yourself.
00:05:01Ma'am,
00:05:02why are you eating cold food?
00:05:03Mr. Reed will be heartbroken
00:05:04if he sees this.
00:05:07He won't feel heartache anymore.
00:05:12Maybe Mr. Reed is just too busy.
00:05:14Should I drive you to the office?
00:05:24We're not waiting for Oliver.
00:05:26Take me to see my mom.
00:05:31The attached photo
00:05:32showed Oliver and Tiffany
00:05:33both kissing Leo's cheeks.
00:05:34Only then did I realize
00:05:36Leo had a sports day today.
00:05:37The happy picture
00:05:38of their family of three
00:05:39made me look like a dark,
00:05:41unwanted intruder.
00:05:42I put the signed divorce agreement
00:05:43into my bag.
00:05:44We're not waiting for Oliver.
00:05:46Take me to see my mom.
00:05:48Before Lily arrived,
00:05:49Tiffany had already entered
00:05:50the cemetery with workers.
00:05:54But unexpectedly,
00:05:55right as I entered
00:05:56the private cemetery,
00:05:57my mother's tombstone
00:05:58was smashed,
00:05:59crashing down at my feet,
00:06:00and standing right in front
00:06:01of the grave was Tiffany.
00:06:03My brain froze for a second.
00:06:05I rushed forward.
00:06:07What are you doing?
00:06:09Lily,
00:06:10I'm digging up
00:06:11your mother's grave.
00:06:12This is my mother's resting place.
00:06:14This land belongs to Oliver.
00:06:16How dare you?
00:06:17Still playing Mrs. Reed, huh?
00:06:19Oliver's private property?
00:06:20I do whatever I want.
00:06:22What are you staring at?
00:06:23Dig.
00:06:24At her command,
00:06:25the workers were about
00:06:26to start the bulldozer.
00:06:27Driven by pure desperation,
00:06:29and I scrambled
00:06:30into the cab
00:06:31of the excavator,
00:06:33grabbed the steering wheel,
00:06:34and jerked it hard.
00:06:37The massive metal bucket
00:06:39swung violently,
00:06:40heading straight
00:06:41for her head.
00:06:44Throw her under the bulldozer!
00:06:46Crush her into the dirt!
00:06:48Several bodyguards
00:06:49instantly lunged
00:06:50to drag me away,
00:06:51but just as they reached out,
00:06:53a Maybach
00:06:53drove into the cemetery.
00:06:54Oliver stepped out
00:06:55in a few strides,
00:06:57took down the guards,
00:07:00and pulled me tightly
00:07:01into his arms.
00:07:03Tiffany,
00:07:03how many times
00:07:04have I warned you?
00:07:05Don't touch Lily!
00:07:07He checked me over
00:07:08frantically.
00:07:09Seeing the bruises
00:07:10on my stomach,
00:07:10pure heartbreak
00:07:11spilled across his face.
00:07:13Lily,
00:07:13I'm sorry.
00:07:15I'm late.
00:07:17I've told you
00:07:18so many times,
00:07:19we're divorced!
00:07:20Stop pestering me!
00:07:21Otherwise,
00:07:22I swear I'll erase
00:07:24the Vance family
00:07:25by morning.
00:07:25Instead of being angry
00:07:26at the threat,
00:07:27Tiffany just raised
00:07:27her eyebrows
00:07:28with a smirk.
00:07:29That's when I saw it.
00:07:30Both she and Oliver
00:07:31were wearing the matching
00:07:32bracelets from Leo's school.
00:07:33What exactly
00:07:34are you trying to do?
00:07:35Lily,
00:07:36I sold this land
00:07:37to the Vance family.
00:07:38They're turning it
00:07:39into an amusement park.
00:07:41All the caskets
00:07:42have been moved.
00:07:43Don't worry,
00:07:43your mom is fine.
00:07:44I've moved her
00:07:45to a better place
00:07:46and had a new tombstone made.
00:07:48I've just been
00:07:48too busy lately
00:07:49and forgot to tell you.
00:07:51The workers dug
00:07:52open the grave.
00:07:53Sure enough,
00:07:54it was completely
00:07:54empty inside.
00:07:55He was just talking
00:07:56about accompanying me
00:07:57to see my mom
00:07:58this morning,
00:07:58yet he forgot to tell me
00:07:59that her grave
00:08:00had been moved.
00:08:00Clutching my bruised stomach,
00:08:02I swatted away
00:08:03his outstretched hand.
00:08:04Take me to her.
00:08:05After that,
00:08:06I'll give you the papers
00:08:07we talked about last night.
00:08:09Oliver walked me
00:08:10to the car,
00:08:11but Tiffany got in first.
00:08:13Oliver,
00:08:13we still have some
00:08:14business matters
00:08:15to discuss.
00:08:16Tiffany?
00:08:17The woman who married
00:08:18Oliver in an arranged
00:08:19union after I disappeared?
00:08:21The woman Leo
00:08:22had called mom
00:08:23for five years?
00:08:24But Oliver told me
00:08:25he'd only married Tiffany
00:08:25so Leo could have a home.
00:08:27He said he couldn't
00:08:28even stand the sight of her.
00:08:29And Leo?
00:08:30Leo was my son.
00:08:32How could he be Tiffany's?
00:08:33When I finally found Lily,
00:08:35she was a wreck.
00:08:36If I told her
00:08:37our baby had died
00:08:38years ago,
00:08:39it would have broken
00:08:40her completely.
00:08:40So I told her
00:08:41Leo was hers.
00:08:42My head seemed
00:08:43to explode.
00:08:44A deafening ring
00:08:45took over my ears.
00:08:46During my five years
00:08:47of living hell
00:08:47across the border,
00:08:48the only thing
00:08:49keeping me alive
00:08:50was the thought
00:08:50of Oliver and our baby.
00:08:52Turns out my baby
00:08:53was dead.
00:08:54And all this time
00:08:55I had been raising
00:08:56my rival's child.
00:08:59Did you send the video
00:09:00of Leo's speech
00:09:01to Tiffany?
00:09:01Yes, sir.
00:09:02All of it.
00:09:03I made sure to zoom in
00:09:04on Mrs. Reed's face.
00:09:05Miss Vance was
00:09:06absolutely thrilled.
00:09:07Tiffany's so easy
00:09:08to please.
00:09:09Humiliate Lily a little
00:09:10and she does
00:09:10whatever I want in bed.
00:09:11Not like Lily.
00:09:12She's already been
00:09:13passed around
00:09:14and used up
00:09:14yet she still pulls
00:09:15that traumatized
00:09:15victim act on me.
00:09:17Won't even let me
00:09:17leave the lights on.
00:09:18Totally kills the mood.
00:09:19Then who do you
00:09:20actually love, sir?
00:09:21I love Lily.
00:09:23I know she was
00:09:23forced to leave somehow
00:09:24and she'll always
00:09:25be Mrs. Reed.
00:09:26But she's tainted now.
00:09:28Tiffany loves me.
00:09:29She doesn't ask
00:09:29for a ring
00:09:30and she's a total
00:09:31freak in bed.
00:09:32Leo adores her.
00:09:33Having an extra body
00:09:33to warm the sheets
00:09:34changes absolutely nothing.
00:09:36I don't remember
00:09:37how I made it back
00:09:38to our bedroom.
00:09:39Humiliation and anguish
00:09:40tore at my insides,
00:09:41leaving me cold all over,
00:09:43yet unable to shed
00:09:44a single tear.
00:09:45Oliver's great love
00:09:46was a lie
00:09:46from the very beginning.
00:09:51Lily,
00:09:52Leo is doing
00:09:53perfectly fine at school.
00:09:54There was a little
00:09:55mishap during his speech
00:09:56today,
00:09:56but he's just a child.
00:09:57Don't take it to heart.
00:09:58Clinging to one last hope,
00:10:00I reached back
00:10:01and rested my hand
00:10:02on his chest.
00:10:05I'm exhausted
00:10:06tonight, baby.
00:10:08The sound of running
00:10:09shower water
00:10:09woke me up.
00:10:10The sound came
00:10:11from the bathroom
00:10:12mixed with his
00:10:13heavy panting.
00:10:14Aren't you afraid
00:10:14your wife will hear us?
00:10:15Let her.
00:10:16She's so damn clueless
00:10:17she'd probably think
00:10:18I'm jerking off to her.
00:10:23The fake death plan.
00:10:25I'm in.
00:10:29Seven years ago,
00:10:30Oliver and I
00:10:31fell in love,
00:10:32but his family hated me.
00:10:33On the night I gave birth,
00:10:35we planned to run away together.
00:10:36Instead,
00:10:37his family kidnapped me.
00:10:38They sold me
00:10:39to a cartel in Mexico
00:10:40and told Oliver
00:10:41I took a payoff
00:10:41and abandoned him.
00:10:42For years,
00:10:43I lived through hell.
00:10:44When Oliver finally
00:10:45tracked me down
00:10:46and saved me,
00:10:47Leo was already five,
00:10:48but Leo was never my son.
00:10:52What's wrong, Lily?
00:10:53Nightmares again?
00:10:54Shh.
00:10:55It's okay.
00:10:56I'm here.
00:11:03Oliver,
00:11:03I need your signature
00:11:04on something tomorrow.
00:11:05Uh-huh.
00:11:06Sure,
00:11:06bring it to me tomorrow.
00:11:07The next day
00:11:08was my late mother's birthday.
00:11:09He still got up early
00:11:10to make French toast for me.
00:11:12Anyone would think
00:11:12he's a devoted,
00:11:13loving husband,
00:11:15but this time,
00:11:15I noticed he made
00:11:16two portions of breakfast.
00:11:18Dad,
00:11:18Mom hasn't eaten yet.
00:11:19You know her stomach
00:11:20acts up if she doesn't eat.
00:11:23Lily,
00:11:23I'm dropping Leo
00:11:24off at school first.
00:11:25I'll take you to the cemetery
00:11:26to see Mom
00:11:26when I get back.
00:11:27Remember to let the toast
00:11:28cool down before you eat it.
00:11:29Don't burn yourself.
00:11:32Ma'am,
00:11:32why are you eating cold food?
00:11:34Mr. Reed will be heartbroken
00:11:35if he sees this.
00:11:38He won't feel heartache anymore.
00:11:43Maybe Mr. Reed
00:11:44is just too busy.
00:11:45Should I drive you
00:11:46to the office?
00:11:47Yes.
00:11:47Yes.
00:11:47Yes.
00:11:47Yes.
00:11:48Yes.
00:11:50Yes.
00:11:51Yes.
00:11:53Yes.
00:11:55We're not waiting for Oliver.
00:11:57Take me to see my mom.
00:12:02The attached photo
00:12:03showed Oliver and Tiffany
00:12:04both kissing Leo's cheeks.
00:12:05Only then did I realize
00:12:07Leo had a sports day today.
00:12:08The happy picture
00:12:09of their family of three
00:12:10made me look like
00:12:11a dark, unwanted intruder.
00:12:12I put the signed
00:12:13divorce agreement
00:12:14into my bag.
00:12:15We're not waiting for Oliver.
00:12:17Take me to see my mom.
00:12:18Before Lily arrived,
00:12:19Tiffany had already
00:12:20entered the cemetery
00:12:21with workers.
00:12:24But unexpectedly,
00:12:26right as I entered
00:12:26the private cemetery,
00:12:28my mother's tombstone
00:12:29was smashed,
00:12:30crashing down at my feet,
00:12:31and standing right in front
00:12:32of the grave
00:12:32was Tiffany.
00:12:34My brain froze
00:12:35for a second.
00:12:36I rushed forward.
00:12:37What are you doing?
00:12:39Lily,
00:12:40I'm digging up
00:12:41your mother's grave.
00:12:43This is my mother's
00:12:44resting place.
00:12:45This land belongs
00:12:45to Oliver.
00:12:46How dare you?
00:12:47Still playing Mrs. Reed,
00:12:49huh?
00:12:49Oliver's private property?
00:12:51I do whatever I want.
00:12:52What are you staring at?
00:12:54Dig.
00:12:55At her command,
00:12:56the workers were about
00:12:56to start the bulldozer.
00:12:58Driven by pure desperation,
00:13:00and I scrambled
00:13:01into the cab
00:13:01of the excavator,
00:13:03grabbed the steering wheel,
00:13:05and jerked it hard.
00:13:08The massive metal bucket
00:13:09swung violently,
00:13:11heading straight
00:13:11for her head.
00:13:15Throw her under
00:13:16the bulldozer!
00:13:17Crush her
00:13:18into the dirt!
00:13:19Several bodyguards
00:13:20instantly lunged
00:13:21to drag me away,
00:13:22but just as they reached out,
00:13:23a Maybach
00:13:24drove into the cemetery.
00:13:25Oliver stepped out
00:13:26in a few strides,
00:13:28took down the guards,
00:13:31and pulled me tightly
00:13:32into his arms.
00:13:33Tiffany,
00:13:34how many times
00:13:35have I warned you?
00:13:36Don't touch Lily!
00:13:38Lily!
00:13:38He checked me over
00:13:39frantically.
00:13:39Seeing the bruises
00:13:40on my stomach,
00:13:41pure heartbreak
00:13:42spilled across his face.
00:13:43Lily,
00:13:44I'm sorry.
00:13:46I'm late.
00:13:48I've told you
00:13:49so many times,
00:13:50we're divorced,
00:13:50stop pestering me!
00:13:52Otherwise,
00:13:53I swear I'll erase
00:13:54the Vance family
00:13:55by morning.
00:13:56Instead of being angry
00:13:57at the threat,
00:13:57Tiffany just raised
00:13:58her eyebrows
00:13:59with a smirk.
00:14:00That's when I saw it.
00:14:01Both she and Oliver
00:14:01were wearing the matching
00:14:02bracelets from Leo's school.
00:14:04What exactly
00:14:05are you trying to do?
00:14:06Lily,
00:14:06I sold this land
00:14:07to the Vance family.
00:14:09They're turning it
00:14:09into an amusement park.
00:14:11All the caskets
00:14:12have been moved.
00:14:13Don't worry,
00:14:14your mom is fine.
00:14:15I've moved her
00:14:16to a better place
00:14:16and had a new tombstone made.
00:14:18I've just been too busy lately
00:14:20and forgot to tell you.
00:14:22The workers dug
00:14:23open the grave.
00:14:24Sure enough,
00:14:24it was completely empty inside.
00:14:26He was just talking
00:14:27about accompanying me
00:14:28to see my mom this morning,
00:14:29yet he forgot to tell me
00:14:30that her grave had been moved.
00:14:31Clutching my bruised stomach,
00:14:33I swatted away
00:14:33his outstretched hand.
00:14:35Take me to her.
00:14:36After that,
00:14:36I'll give you the papers
00:14:37we talked about last night.
00:14:39Oliver walked me to the car,
00:14:41but Tiffany got in first.
00:14:43Oliver,
00:14:44we still have some
00:14:45business matters to discuss.
00:14:46The night I signed
00:14:47the divorce paper
00:14:48with a single duffel bag
00:14:49and only $36,
00:14:51that was when
00:14:51I spotted a flyer
00:14:52stepmom wanted for child.
00:14:54Room and board,
00:14:55I walked straight
00:14:56into the mansion
00:14:56of Luca Castellano,
00:14:58the Don of New York's
00:14:59oldest mafia family.
00:15:00Don,
00:15:01the applicant is here.
00:15:02I grabbed two figures
00:15:03off the coffee table.
00:15:04Don't worry,
00:15:05I'm not feeding you,
00:15:06I'm feeding Batman.
00:15:07Luca Castellano's mouth
00:15:08curved.
00:15:09A small,
00:15:09real smile.
00:15:10Approving,
00:15:11I got married again.
00:15:12My wife could never be wrong.
00:15:13The night I signed
00:15:14the divorce paper
00:15:15and walked away with nothing,
00:15:17I wandered the rainy streets alone
00:15:18with a single duffel bag
00:15:20and only $36.
00:15:21That was when
00:15:22I spotted a flyer
00:15:23taped to a roadside pole.
00:15:24Stepmom wanted for child.
00:15:26Room and board,
00:15:27that's what got me.
00:15:28That same night,
00:15:29I showed up at the address.
00:15:30I walked straight
00:15:31into the mansion
00:15:31of Luca Castellano,
00:15:33the Don of New York's
00:15:34oldest mafia family.
00:15:35Later,
00:15:36my ex-husband
00:15:36looked down at me
00:15:37with that same arrogance.
00:15:39Nora,
00:15:39do you finally realize
00:15:40you were wrong?
00:15:41Before I could answer,
00:15:42the four-year-old
00:15:43little tyrant exploded.
00:15:44Wrong about what?
00:15:45My mom is the best.
00:15:47The Don slipped an arm
00:15:48around my shoulders,
00:15:49kicking him aside.
00:15:50My wife could never be wrong
00:15:51and even if she was,
00:15:52she'd still be right.
00:15:53I never expected
00:15:54the people posting flyers
00:15:55on polls
00:15:56to be New York's
00:15:57most powerful mafia family.
00:15:59Now I stood outside
00:15:59their mansion.
00:16:00Beside me,
00:16:01the butler carried himself
00:16:02with quiet arrogance.
00:16:03The Don is looking
00:16:04for a mother for his child,
00:16:05not a wife for himself.
00:16:07I need you to be
00:16:07very clear on that.
00:16:08Don is a very desirable man.
00:16:10Do not get any ideas
00:16:11you shouldn't.
00:16:12I kept my eyes lowered.
00:16:13Honestly,
00:16:14this job was perfect for me.
00:16:15To put it simply,
00:16:16they just needed
00:16:17a high-end nanny.
00:16:18Eight hours ago,
00:16:19I'd signed the divorce papers
00:16:20and been kicked out
00:16:21of my ex's house.
00:16:22The last thing I wanted
00:16:23was another husband,
00:16:24but a roof?
00:16:25Three meals?
00:16:25A place to disappear?
00:16:27That was a miracle.
00:16:28I understand.
00:16:29I won't get any ideas.
00:16:30The butler led me
00:16:31down a dim,
00:16:32vaulted corridor.
00:16:33Then I heard something
00:16:34that sounded like a gunshot.
00:16:35I stumbled,
00:16:36slammed straight into
00:16:37a hot, hard chest.
00:16:38The smell hit me first.
00:16:40Blood.
00:16:40Gunpowder.
00:16:41Then the barrel of a pistol
00:16:42tipped my chin up.
00:16:43A man in a suit
00:16:44with his hair slicked back.
00:16:45Blood streaked across his jaw.
00:16:46A snake tattoo
00:16:47coiling out of his collar
00:16:48onto his throat.
00:16:49My chest rose
00:16:50and fell rapidly with fear.
00:16:52His gun slid down
00:16:53from my chin
00:16:54and stopped
00:16:54between my soaked breasts.
00:16:55He studied me
00:16:56for a long beat.
00:16:57Finally,
00:16:58walked off without a word.
00:16:59I'd seen that face before.
00:17:00Page six.
00:17:01New York Times.
00:17:02The Castellano Don.
00:17:04Sebastian had once
00:17:05spent a month
00:17:05studying his photos,
00:17:06trying to get in
00:17:07with the old mafia family
00:17:08behind him.
00:17:09The butler finally spoke.
00:17:11The Don is handling
00:17:11some business.
00:17:13Please don't mind.
00:17:13I nodded quietly.
00:17:15Then he took me
00:17:15to change into something dry
00:17:16and led me
00:17:17into the dining room.
00:17:18A long wooden table
00:17:19sat beneath
00:17:19a crystal chandelier,
00:17:21and at one end,
00:17:22a father and son
00:17:22were locked in a standoff.
00:17:24The man with murder
00:17:25in his eyes was gone.
00:17:26In his place,
00:17:27at the table,
00:17:27sat a man in a white dress shirt
00:17:29holding a spoon.
00:17:30His face was tired.
00:17:31The boy pressed his lips shut
00:17:33and glared up at his father
00:17:34like a tiny soldier
00:17:35holding the line.
00:17:36Neither moved.
00:17:37Finally,
00:17:37the man exhaled
00:17:38and set the spoon down.
00:17:39Long fingers pinched
00:17:41the bridge of his nose.
00:17:42His voice dropped,
00:17:43low and rough.
00:17:43One bite.
00:17:44One small bite.
00:17:46Is that really too much?
00:17:47The butler stepped forward.
00:17:48Don,
00:17:49the applicant is here.
00:17:50The man turned.
00:17:51His shirt was unbuttoned low.
00:17:53I could see
00:17:53most of the snake tattoo now.
00:17:55The lines of his muscles
00:17:56pressed faintly
00:17:57through the white linen.
00:17:58The most feared man
00:17:59in New York
00:17:59inherited the family glory
00:18:01at 16,
00:18:02built it bigger,
00:18:02darker,
00:18:03quieter than his father had.
00:18:05Money,
00:18:05power,
00:18:05blood on his hands.
00:18:07So this wasn't some dream
00:18:08or scam.
00:18:09A man like Luca Castellano
00:18:10had no reason to scam
00:18:12a broke divorcee
00:18:13off the street.
00:18:14His eyes moved over me,
00:18:15distant and tired.
00:18:16Name?
00:18:16I figured he'd come straight
00:18:17from his so-called business,
00:18:19handling traitors,
00:18:20torturing some enemies,
00:18:21and now got defeated
00:18:22by a toddler.
00:18:23Feeding the kid
00:18:24was probably harder
00:18:25than running his empire.
00:18:26Nora Bennett,
00:18:27I said.
00:18:27A barely there nod.
00:18:28He held out the plate.
00:18:29Try.
00:18:30So,
00:18:30this was my interview.
00:18:31If I didn't pass,
00:18:32I was sleeping on the F train.
00:18:33I smiled my warmest,
00:18:35gentlest smile
00:18:36and walked toward the boy.
00:18:37I didn't make it two steps.
00:18:38Whoosh.
00:18:39He bolted under the table.
00:18:40Only his eyes peeked out.
00:18:42Dark,
00:18:42round,
00:18:43furious.
00:18:43I don't want her!
00:18:45Send her away!
00:18:46She's a bad lady!
00:18:47They're all bad ladies!
00:18:48So before me,
00:18:49this kid had already been through
00:18:50who knows how many stepmoms.
00:18:52Fine.
00:18:52I needed to do my best.
00:18:54I scanned the room
00:18:55and clocked it instantly.
00:18:56Action figures everywhere.
00:18:57Batman,
00:18:58Spider-Man,
00:18:59a whole shelf of Avengers.
00:19:01I grabbed two figures
00:19:02off the coffee table
00:19:03and crouched down
00:19:03by the table leg.
00:19:04I sat Batman and Spider-Man
00:19:06right next to the kid.
00:19:07Then I picked up the spoon.
00:19:08Don't worry.
00:19:09I'm not feeding you.
00:19:10I'm feeding Batman.
00:19:11I mimed a spoonful
00:19:11into Batman's face.
00:19:13Open up, Bats.
00:19:14Heroes who skip dinner?
00:19:15Skinny arms,
00:19:16skinny legs.
00:19:17Can't protect anyone like that.
00:19:19Oh,
00:19:19Batman wants vegetables?
00:19:21Good call.
00:19:21Spinach makes you strong.
00:19:23The boy watched,
00:19:24half hidden,
00:19:24lips parting,
00:19:25smacking his mouth a little.
00:19:26I pretended not to see.
00:19:28His nose started turning pink,
00:19:29like he was about to cry.
00:19:31Right on cue,
00:19:31I gasped.
00:19:32Wait,
00:19:33is that a baby Batman over there?
00:19:35Bats,
00:19:35can you share with him?
00:19:36He has to eat too
00:19:37if he's gonna grow up strong.
00:19:39I tilted Batman.
00:19:40Bats says yes.
00:19:41I turned to the boy.
00:19:42Batman improved, kiddo.
00:19:44You get a little,
00:19:45but just a little.
00:19:46We don't want you outgrowing him.
00:19:47He'd be sad.
00:19:48The boy nodded furiously.
00:19:49I didn't even get the spoon to his mouth
00:19:51before he grabbed it with his lips.
00:19:53A big bite.
00:19:54Why won't you give me vegetables?
00:19:55You scared I'll get stronger than Batman?
00:19:58Bad lady!
00:19:59I glanced at the couch.
00:20:00Luca Castellano's mouth curved.
00:20:02A small,
00:20:02real smile.
00:20:03Approving.
00:20:04I moved into the castle that night.
00:20:06There were three floors.
00:20:07I got the second floor with Leo.
00:20:08Luca had the entire third floor to himself.
00:20:10The butler walked me to my room
00:20:12and gave me one last warning.
00:20:13You do not go up to the third floor.
00:20:15Ever.
00:20:15His voice dropped.
00:20:16The last woman who snuck up there
00:20:18to climb into the Don's bed
00:20:19got thrown out of his window.
00:20:20Two story drop.
00:20:21I thought of the gun from an hour ago.
00:20:23I nodded so hard
00:20:24I almost gave myself whiplash.
00:20:26Won't happen.
00:20:26You have my word.
00:20:27Castellano men breed serious.
00:20:29Leo was only four
00:20:30and slept in his own bed without a fuss.
00:20:32And that made my job easier.
00:20:33I'd just changed into the silk pajamas
00:20:35from the closet.
00:20:36The knock made me jump.
00:20:37Don Luca's voice was low behind the door.
00:20:39Come down.
00:20:40Let's talk.
00:20:41Luca was on the couch in the great room.
00:20:42Long legs crossed.
00:20:44Whiskey in his hand.
00:20:45I sat across from him on the opposite couch.
00:20:47Hands in my lap.
00:20:48Knees together.
00:20:48Like a job interview.
00:20:49You're good with kids.
00:20:50You have one of your own?
00:20:51No.
00:20:52I helped raise my ex's nephew for two years.
00:20:54Back the...
00:20:55The crane said I didn't make enough money
00:20:56and ordered me to quit.
00:20:57Called it generosity.
00:20:59Then, after I did,
00:21:00they claimed I was lazy
00:21:01and had nothing to do.
00:21:02So they fired the nanny
00:21:03and dumped the kid on me.
00:21:04More free maid than wife.
00:21:06File says you're divorced.
00:21:07Yes.
00:21:07Reason?
00:21:08Some small town girl
00:21:09cannot stain a noble family name.
00:21:11I guess.
00:21:12Only a coward would say that.
00:21:13You saw the ad.
00:21:14I'm hiring a mother for Leo.
00:21:15Not a date for me.
00:21:16My rival's family terrified him
00:21:18when he was little.
00:21:19He's always been insecure,
00:21:20hates leaving the house,
00:21:21and has never had a single friend.
00:21:22I work long hours.
00:21:24I need someone with patience.
00:21:25Someone who'll stay.
00:21:26There will be a prenum.
00:21:28Everything stays separate.
00:21:29Especially in bed.
00:21:30My heart shuddered
00:21:31as I looked deep into his eyes.
00:21:33Marriage in rich people's world
00:21:34was a contract
00:21:35before it was anything else.
00:21:36My marriage with Sebastian
00:21:37was for love.
00:21:38But because the gaps
00:21:39between our family,
00:21:40I'd signed one with him too.
00:21:42When the love ran out,
00:21:43I'd walked away with nothing.
00:21:45Not even my wedding ring.
00:21:46Let alone a powerful mafia family
00:21:48like the Castellanos.
00:21:49They would only be more careful.
00:21:51I understand.
00:21:52Honestly,
00:21:53if you just need someone in the house,
00:21:54we don't have to make it legal.
00:21:56I'm fine without the paperwork.
00:21:57Luca shook his head.
00:21:59He leaned forward,
00:22:00tapping his fingers on the table.
00:22:01Marriage is for Leo.
00:22:03He needs the most stable mother
00:22:04I can give him.
00:22:04And marriage is the strongest contract
00:22:06there is.
00:22:07All right.
00:22:08We'll do it your way.
00:22:12Don't worry.
00:22:13You'll get $100,000 a month
00:22:14for expenses.
00:22:14This was the part I cared about.
00:22:16I've been burned before.
00:22:17Mr. Castellano,
00:22:18if we divorce someday,
00:22:19can I keep the money
00:22:20you've given me?
00:22:21Of course.
00:22:21It's yours.
00:22:23All right then.
00:22:24As for sex,
00:22:26I don't need anything
00:22:27from you in that area.
00:22:29You stay on the second floor.
00:22:30Right.
00:22:31The sex.
00:22:32That's fine.
00:22:33Neither do I.
00:22:34So,
00:22:35three days after I signed
00:22:36divorce papers,
00:22:37I got married again.
00:22:38No ceremony,
00:22:40no guests.
00:22:40Same as my first wedding.
00:22:42The butler added an extra dish
00:22:43to dinner.
00:22:44I thought that was the celebration.
00:22:45But suddenly,
00:22:46Luca slid a signet ring
00:22:48across the table.
00:22:49A Castellano family ring.
00:22:53That's not necessary.
00:22:55Sebastian never even gave me
00:22:57his family ring.
00:22:58For Leo's sake.
00:22:59Then I got it.
00:23:00The child needed
00:23:01a family illusion.
00:23:02I fell into silence
00:23:03and finally took it.
00:23:05I'll keep it safe.
00:23:06That night,
00:23:06I'd just gotten into bed
00:23:07when the door creaked open.
00:23:08Leo stood in the doorway,
00:23:10bare feet,
00:23:11hair sticking up,
00:23:12fidgeting with his
00:23:12dinosaur pajamas.
00:23:14What's up, kiddo?
00:23:16Nora,
00:23:16can you read me
00:23:17a bedtime story?
00:23:18What?
00:23:19You want me to read you
00:23:20a bedtime story?
00:23:21I'll get my dad
00:23:22to pay you extra.
00:23:23If you don't want to,
00:23:24forget it.
00:23:25Come here.
00:23:25I held the covers open.
00:23:27He scrambled in
00:23:28like he'd been waiting
00:23:28for that all day.
00:23:29Halfway through the story,
00:23:30he was out cold
00:23:31against my shoulder.
00:23:33Next morning at breakfast,
00:23:35Luca's eyes widened
00:23:36when the butler told him
00:23:37Leo had slept in my bed.
00:23:38Nora,
00:23:39that was above and beyond.
00:23:41I'll add another
00:23:41fifty thousand a month.
00:23:42Mr. Castiano,
00:23:44that's way too much.
00:23:45It was,
00:23:46by a lot.
00:23:47I'd given far more than this
00:23:48in my last marriage
00:23:49and walked away
00:23:50with literally nothing.
00:23:52During the day,
00:23:53I babysat his nephew.
00:23:54At night,
00:23:55I cooked for my husband.
00:23:56After satisfying
00:23:57his needs in bed,
00:23:58I still had to get up
00:23:59at five to clean the house
00:24:00and make breakfast.
00:24:02His mother judged.
00:24:03We could hire someone,
00:24:04but Nora's just sitting around
00:24:05all day.
00:24:06Wouldn't be fair.
00:24:07Despite all these,
00:24:08the day of the divorce,
00:24:09his sister told the lawyer
00:24:10I'd been living off them
00:24:12for three years.
00:24:13Mr. Castiano,
00:24:14it's really too much.
00:24:15I like Leo.
00:24:15He's a sweet kid.
00:24:17Reading him a book
00:24:17is nothing.
00:24:18As I said it,
00:24:19Leo came over
00:24:20and grabbed my fingers
00:24:21with his small,
00:24:22warm hand.
00:24:22He was looking up at me
00:24:23with those big,
00:24:24dark grape eyes.
00:24:25He was actually moved.
00:24:26You don't know.
00:24:27The women before you
00:24:28only cared about impressing me.
00:24:31They ignored him.
00:24:3450,000.
00:24:35That's the new number.
00:24:36Not negotiable.
00:24:38I gave up and thanked him.
00:24:39From that day on,
00:24:40Leo was my shadow.
00:24:42Luca was busy
00:24:42with all the transactions,
00:24:44the guns and the bloods.
00:24:45The huge mansion
00:24:46was usually just the two of us.
00:24:48I tried my best
00:24:48to play with him
00:24:49and made him happy every day.
00:24:51Until the day
00:24:51I had a hospital appointment
00:24:52for a follow-up,
00:24:54the butler had warned me.
00:24:55Leo couldn't leave the house.
00:24:56Outside triggered panic attacks.
00:24:58I crouched down.
00:25:00Hey, babe.
00:25:01Wait for me at home.
00:25:02I'll be back in an hour.
00:25:04He grabbed my hand
00:25:05and wouldn't let go.
00:25:06Didn't say anything.
00:25:07Just looked at me
00:25:08with those dark, sad eyes.
00:25:11He's scared
00:25:12you're not coming back.
00:25:13His mother left him
00:25:14exactly like that.
00:25:15I'm coming back.
00:25:16I'll see the doctor
00:25:17and come right home.
00:25:18You play here, okay?
00:25:19I was still mid-sentence
00:25:20when he climbed
00:25:21into the back seat of the car.
00:25:22The butler tried not to hope.
00:25:24Master Leo,
00:25:24you're going to the hospital
00:25:26with Miss Bennett?
00:25:27Leo nodded.
00:25:28Thank God.
00:25:29He's finally willing
00:25:30to leave the house.
00:25:31Your depression's getting better.
00:25:33Just keep it slow.
00:25:33Relax.
00:25:34I took the script
00:25:35and the meds and left.
00:25:36Leo was waiting in the lobby
00:25:38with his small batman.
00:25:39Nora.
00:25:42Are you sick?
00:25:44A little, kiddo.
00:25:45I used to skip meals a lot
00:25:46so I got sick.
00:25:48Promise me you'll never
00:25:48let yourself get like that.
00:25:50Does it hurt?
00:25:52If it hurts,
00:25:53I can give you candy.
00:25:54Daddy told me candy
00:25:55makes you forget.
00:25:57My tears fell without warning.
00:25:59In the crane house,
00:26:00I'd cry
00:26:00and they'd call it dramatic.
00:26:02Small town girl.
00:26:03Can't handle the lifestyle.
00:26:07I had depression.
00:26:10Stop faking it
00:26:11to get attention!
00:26:11The nephew I'd raised
00:26:12for two years
00:26:13stood next to his mother
00:26:14on divorce day
00:26:15and called me ugly.
00:26:16And here was this
00:26:17four-year-old mafia heir
00:26:18handing me his last piece of candy.
00:26:20Nora,
00:26:21I'm going to eat every meal
00:26:23so I can grow up
00:26:24and protect you.
00:26:31You better grow fast, babe.
00:26:32When we walked out
00:26:33of the hospital,
00:26:34there was a black Maybach
00:26:35idling at the curb.
00:26:36Luca was leaning against it.
00:26:37Mr. Castellano,
00:26:38why are you here?
00:26:42The night I signed
00:26:43the divorce paper
00:26:44was a single duffel bag
00:26:45and only $36.
00:26:47That was when I spotted a flyer.
00:26:48Stepmom wanted her child.
00:26:50Room and board.
00:26:51I walked straight
00:26:51into the mansion
00:26:52of Luca Castellano,
00:26:54the dawn of New York's
00:26:55oldest mafia family.
00:26:56Don,
00:26:57the applicant is here.
00:26:58I grabbed two figures
00:26:59off the coffee table.
00:27:00Don't worry,
00:27:01I'm not feeding you,
00:27:02I'm feeding Batman.
00:27:03Luca Castellano's mouth curved.
00:27:04A small,
00:27:05real smile.
00:27:06Approving.
00:27:07I got married again.
00:27:08My wife could never be wrong.
00:27:09The night I signed
00:27:10the divorce paper
00:27:11and walked away with nothing,
00:27:12I wandered the rainy streets alone
00:27:14with a single duffel bag
00:27:15and only $36.
00:27:17That was when I spotted a flyer
00:27:19taped to a roadside pole.
00:27:20Stepmom wanted her child.
00:27:22Room and board.
00:27:23That's what got me.
00:27:24That same night,
00:27:24I showed up at the address.
00:27:26I walked straight
00:27:26into the mansion
00:27:27of Luca Castellano,
00:27:29the dawn of New York's
00:27:30oldest mafia family.
00:27:31Later,
00:27:32my ex-husband looked down
00:27:33at me with that same arrogance.
00:27:34Nora,
00:27:35do you finally realize
00:27:36you were wrong?
00:27:37Before I could answer,
00:27:38the four-year-old
00:27:39little tyrant exploded.
00:27:40Wrong about what?
00:27:41My mom is the best.
00:27:43The dawn slipped an arm
00:27:44around my shoulders,
00:27:45kicking him aside.
00:27:46My wife could never be wrong,
00:27:47and even if she was,
00:27:48she'd still be right.
00:27:49I never expected
00:27:50the people posting flyers
00:27:51on poles to be New York's
00:27:53most powerful mafia family.
00:27:54Now I stood outside
00:27:55their mansion.
00:27:56Beside me,
00:27:57the butler carried himself
00:27:58with quiet arrogance.
00:27:59The dawn is looking
00:28:00for a mother for his child,
00:28:01not a wife for himself.
00:28:03I need you to be
00:28:03very clear on that.
00:28:04Dawn is a very desirable man.
00:28:06Do not get any ideas
00:28:07you shouldn't.
00:28:08I kept my eyes lowered.
00:28:09Honestly,
00:28:09this job was perfect for me.
00:28:11To put it simply,
00:28:12they just needed
00:28:12a high-end nanny.
00:28:13Eight hours ago,
00:28:14I'd signed the divorce papers
00:28:16and been kicked out
00:28:17of my ex's house.
00:28:18The last thing I wanted
00:28:19was another husband.
00:28:20But a roof?
00:28:20Three meals?
00:28:21A place to disappear?
00:28:22That was a miracle.
00:28:24I understand.
00:28:24I won't get any ideas.
00:28:26The butler led me
00:28:27down a dim,
00:28:28vaulted corridor.
00:28:29Then I heard something
00:28:29that sounded like a gunshot.
00:28:31I stumbled,
00:28:32slammed straight
00:28:32into a hot,
00:28:33hard chest.
00:28:34The smell hit me first.
00:28:35Blood.
00:28:36Gunpowder.
00:28:36Then the barrel of a pistol
00:28:38tipped my chin up.
00:28:38A man in a suit
00:28:39with his hair slicked back.
00:28:41Blood streaked
00:28:41across his jaw.
00:28:42A snake tattoo
00:28:43coiling out of his collar
00:28:44onto his throat.
00:28:45My chest rose
00:28:46and fell rapidly with fear.
00:28:48His gun slid down
00:28:49from my chin
00:28:49and stopped
00:28:50between my soaked breasts.
00:28:51He studied me
00:28:52for a long beat.
00:28:53Finally,
00:28:53walked off without a word.
00:28:55I'd seen that face before.
00:28:56Page six.
00:28:57New York Times.
00:28:58The Castellano Don.
00:28:59Sebastian had once
00:29:00spent a month
00:29:01studying his photos,
00:29:02trying to get in
00:29:03with the old mafia family
00:29:04behind him.
00:29:05The butler finally spoke.
00:29:06The Don is handling
00:29:07some business.
00:29:08Please don't mind.
00:29:09I nodded quietly.
00:29:10Then he took me
00:29:11to change into something dry
00:29:12and led me
00:29:13into the dining room.
00:29:14A long wooden table
00:29:15sat beneath a crystal chandelier
00:29:16and at one end,
00:29:17a father and son
00:29:18were locked in a standoff.
00:29:20The man with murder
00:29:20in his eyes was gone.
00:29:22In his place,
00:29:22at the table,
00:29:23sat a man in a white dress shirt
00:29:25holding a spoon.
00:29:26His face was tired.
00:29:27The boy pressed his lips shut
00:29:28and glared up at his father
00:29:30like a tiny soldier
00:29:31holding the line.
00:29:32Neither moved.
00:29:32Finally,
00:29:33the man exhaled
00:29:34and set the spoon down.
00:29:35Long fingers pinched
00:29:36the bridge of his nose.
00:29:37His voice dropped,
00:29:38low and rough.
00:29:39One bite.
00:29:40One small bite.
00:29:41Is that really too much?
00:29:42The butler stepped forward.
00:29:44Don,
00:29:45the applicant is here.
00:29:46The man turned.
00:29:47His shirt was unbuttoned low.
00:29:48I could see most
00:29:49of the snake tattoo now.
00:29:50The lines of his muscles
00:29:52pressed faintly
00:29:52through the white linen.
00:29:53The most feared man
00:29:54in New York
00:29:55inherited the family glory
00:29:56at 16,
00:29:57built it bigger,
00:29:58darker,
00:29:59quieter than his father had.
00:30:00Money,
00:30:01power,
00:30:01blood on his hands.
00:30:02So this wasn't
00:30:03some dream
00:30:04or scam.
00:30:05A man like Luca Castellano
00:30:06had no reason
00:30:07to scam a broke divorcee
00:30:08off the street.
00:30:09His eyes moved over me,
00:30:11distant and tired.
00:30:11Name?
00:30:12I figured he'd come straight
00:30:13from his so-called business,
00:30:15handling traitors,
00:30:16torturing some enemies,
00:30:17and now got defeated
00:30:18by a toddler.
00:30:19Feeding the kid
00:30:19was probably harder
00:30:20than running his empire.
00:30:22Nora Bennett,
00:30:22I said.
00:30:23A barely there nod.
00:30:24He held out the plate.
00:30:25Try.
00:30:25So,
00:30:26this was my interview.
00:30:27If I didn't pass,
00:30:28I was sleeping on the F train.
00:30:29I smiled my warmest,
00:30:31gentlest smile
00:30:31and walked toward the boy.
00:30:33I didn't make it two steps.
00:30:34Whoosh!
00:30:35He bolted under the table.
00:30:36Only his eyes peeked out.
00:30:37Dark,
00:30:38round,
00:30:39furious.
00:30:39I don't want her!
00:30:40Send her away!
00:30:41She's a bad lady!
00:30:42They're all bad ladies!
00:30:44So before me,
00:30:45this kid had already been through
00:30:46who knows how many stepmoms.
00:30:48Fine.
00:30:48I needed to do my best.
00:30:49I scanned the room
00:30:50and clocked it instantly.
00:30:52Action figures everywhere.
00:30:53Batman,
00:30:54Spider-Man,
00:30:55a whole shelf of Avengers.
00:30:56I grabbed two figures
00:30:57off the coffee table
00:30:58and crouched down
00:30:59by the table leg.
00:31:00I sat Batman and Spider-Man
00:31:01right next to the kid.
00:31:03Then I picked up the spoon.
00:31:04Don't worry.
00:31:04I'm not feeding you.
00:31:05I'm feeding Batman.
00:31:06I mimed a spoonful
00:31:07into Batman's face.
00:31:09Open up, Bats.
00:31:09Heroes who skip dinner?
00:31:11Skinny arms,
00:31:11skinny legs.
00:31:12Can't protect anyone like that.
00:31:14Oh,
00:31:15Batman wants vegetables?
00:31:16Good call.
00:31:17Spinach makes you strong.
00:31:18The boy watched,
00:31:19half hidden,
00:31:20lips parting,
00:31:21smacking his mouth a little.
00:31:22I pretended not to see.
00:31:24His nose started turning pink,
00:31:25like he was about to cry.
00:31:26Right on cue,
00:31:27I gasped.
00:31:28Wait,
00:31:29is that a baby Batman over there?
00:31:30Bats,
00:31:31can you share with him?
00:31:32He has to eat too
00:31:33if he's gonna grow up strong.
00:31:35I tilted Batman.
00:31:36Bats says yes.
00:31:37I turned to the boy.
00:31:38Batman improved,
00:31:39kiddo.
00:31:40You get a little,
00:31:40but just a little.
00:31:42We don't want you outgrowing him.
00:31:43He'd be sad.
00:31:44The boy nodded furiously.
00:31:45I didn't even get the spoon
00:31:46to his mouth
00:31:47before he grabbed it
00:31:48with his lips.
00:31:49A big bite.
00:31:49Why won't you give me vegetables?
00:31:51You scared I'll get stronger
00:31:52than Batman?
00:31:53Bad lady!
00:31:54I glanced at the couch.
00:31:56Luca Castellano's mouth curved.
00:31:57A small,
00:31:58real smile.
00:31:59Approving.
00:31:59I moved into the castle that night.
00:32:01There were three floors.
00:32:02I got the second floor with Leo.
00:32:04Luca had the entire third floor
00:32:05to himself.
00:32:06The butler walked me to my room
00:32:07and gave me one last warning.
00:32:09You do not go up to the third floor.
00:32:11Ever.
00:32:11His voice dropped.
00:32:12The last woman who snuck up there
00:32:14to climb into the Don's bed
00:32:15got thrown out of his window.
00:32:16Two story drop.
00:32:17I thought of the gun
00:32:18from an hour ago.
00:32:19I nodded so hard
00:32:20I almost gave myself whiplash.
00:32:21Won't happen.
00:32:22You have my word.
00:32:23Castellano men breed serious.
00:32:25Leo was only four
00:32:26and slept in his own bed
00:32:27without a fuss.
00:32:28And that made my job easier.
00:32:29I'd just changed
00:32:30into the silk pajamas
00:32:31from the closet.
00:32:32The knock made me jump.
00:32:33Don Luca's voice
00:32:34was low behind the door.
00:32:35Come down.
00:32:36Let's talk.
00:32:36Luca was on the couch
00:32:37in the great room.
00:32:38Long legs crossed.
00:32:39Whiskey in his hand.
00:32:40I sat across from him
00:32:41on the opposite couch.
00:32:42Hands in my lap.
00:32:43Knees together.
00:32:44Like a job interview.
00:32:45You're good with kids.
00:32:46You have one of your own?
00:32:47No.
00:32:47I helped raise my ex's nephew
00:32:49for two years.
00:32:50Back the...
00:32:50The crane said
00:32:51I didn't make enough money
00:32:52and ordered me to quit.
00:32:53Called it generosity.
00:32:54Then,
00:32:55after I did,
00:32:56they claimed I was lazy
00:32:57and had nothing to do.
00:32:58So they fired the nanny
00:32:59and dumped the kid on me.
00:33:00More free maid than wife.
00:33:01File says you're divorced.
00:33:03Yes.
00:33:03Reason?
00:33:03Some small town girl
00:33:05cannot stain a noble family name.
00:33:07I guess.
00:33:08Only a coward would say that.
00:33:09You saw the ad.
00:33:10I'm hiring a mother for Leo.
00:33:11Not a date for me.
00:33:12My rival's family terrified him
00:33:13when he was little.
00:33:14He's always been insecure,
00:33:16hates leaving the house,
00:33:16and has never had a single friend.
00:33:18I work long hours.
00:33:19I need someone with patience.
00:33:21Someone who'll stay.
00:33:21There will be a prenum.
00:33:24Everything stays separate,
00:33:25especially in bed.
00:33:26My heart shuddered
00:33:27as I looked deep into his eyes.
00:33:28Marriage in rich people's world
00:33:30was a contract
00:33:31before it was anything else.
00:33:32My marriage with Sebastian
00:33:33was for love.
00:33:34But because the gaps
00:33:35between our family,
00:33:36I'd signed one with him too.
00:33:38When the love ran out,
00:33:39I'd walked away with nothing.
00:33:40Not even my wedding ring.
00:33:42Let alone a powerful mafia family
00:33:44like the Castellanos.
00:33:45They would only be more careful.
00:33:47I understand.
00:33:48Honestly,
00:33:49if you just need someone in the house,
00:33:50we don't have to make it legal.
00:33:51I'm fine without the paperwork.
00:33:53Luca shook his head.
00:33:54He leaned forward,
00:33:56tapping his fingers on the table.
00:33:57Marriage is for Leo.
00:33:58He needs the most stable mother
00:33:59I can give him.
00:34:00And marriage is the strongest contract
00:34:02there is.
00:34:03All right.
00:34:04We'll do it your way.
00:34:07Don't worry.
00:34:08You'll get $100,000 a month
00:34:09for expenses.
00:34:10This was the part I cared about.
00:34:12I've been burned before.
00:34:13Mr. Castellano,
00:34:14if we divorce someday,
00:34:15can I keep the money you've given me?
00:34:16Of course.
00:34:17It's yours.
00:34:18All right, then.
00:34:20As for sex,
00:34:22I don't need anything from you
00:34:23in that area.
00:34:25You stay on the second floor.
00:34:26Right.
00:34:27The sex.
00:34:28That's fine.
00:34:29Neither do I.
00:34:30So,
00:34:31three days after I signed divorce papers,
00:34:33I got married again.
00:34:34No ceremony,
00:34:35no guests.
00:34:36Same as my first wedding.
00:34:37The butler added an extra dish to dinner.
00:34:39I thought that was the celebration.
00:34:41But suddenly,
00:34:42Luca slid a signet ring across the table.
00:34:44A Castellano family ring.
00:34:46Okay.
00:34:49That's not necessary.
00:34:51Sebastian never even gave me his family ring.
00:34:54For Leo's sake.
00:34:55Then I got it.
00:34:55The child needed a family illusion.
00:34:58I fell into silence
00:34:59and finally took it.
00:35:00I'll keep it safe.
00:35:01That night,
00:35:02I'd just gotten into bed
00:35:03when the door creaked open.
00:35:04Leo stood in the doorway,
00:35:06bare feet,
00:35:06hair sticking up,
00:35:07fidgeting with his dinosaur pajamas.
00:35:10What's up, kiddo?
00:35:11Nora,
00:35:12can you read me a bedtime story?
00:35:14What?
00:35:15You want me to read you a bedtime story?
00:35:17I'll get my dad to pay you extra.
00:35:19If you don't want to,
00:35:20forget it.
00:35:20Come here.
00:35:21I held the covers open.
00:35:22He scrambled in like he'd been waiting for that all day.
00:35:25Halfway through the story,
00:35:26he was out cold against my shoulder.
00:35:29Next morning at breakfast,
00:35:30Luca's eyes widened
00:35:31when the butler told him Leo had slept in my bed.
00:35:34Nora,
00:35:35that was above and beyond.
00:35:36I'll add another 50,000 a month.
00:35:38Mr. Castellano,
00:35:39that's way too much.
00:35:41It was,
00:35:42by a lot.
00:35:43I'd given far more than this in my last marriage
00:35:45and walked away with literally nothing.
00:35:48During the day,
00:35:49I babysat his nephew.
00:35:50At night,
00:35:51I cooked for my husband.
00:35:52After satisfying his needs in bed,
00:35:54I still had to get up at five
00:35:55to clean the house and make breakfast.
00:35:57His mother judged.
00:35:58We could hire someone,
00:36:00but Nora's just sitting around all day
00:36:01wouldn't be fair.
00:36:02Despite all these,
00:36:04the day of the divorce,
00:36:05his sister told the lawyer
00:36:06I'd been living off them for three years.
00:36:08Mr. Castellano,
00:36:09it's really too much.
00:36:10I like Leo.
00:36:11He's a sweet kid.
00:36:12Reading him a book is nothing.
00:36:14As I said it,
00:36:15Leo came over and grabbed my fingers
00:36:16with his small,
00:36:17warm hand.
00:36:18He was looking up at me
00:36:19with those big,
00:36:20dark grape eyes.
00:36:21He was actually moved.
00:36:22You don't know.
00:36:23The women before you
00:36:24only cared about impressing me.
00:36:27They ignored him.
00:36:2950,000.
00:36:31That's the new number.
00:36:32Not negotiable.
00:36:33I gave up and thanked him.
00:36:35From that day on,
00:36:36Leo was my shadow.
00:36:37Luca was busy with all the transactions,
00:36:39the guns and the bloods.
00:36:41The huge mansion was usually just the two of us.
00:36:43I tried my best to play with him
00:36:45and made him happy every day.
00:36:46Until the day I had a hospital appointment
00:36:48for a follow-up,
00:36:49the butler had warned me.
00:36:51Leo couldn't leave the house.
00:36:52Outside triggered panic attacks.
00:36:54I crouched down.
00:36:55Hey babe,
00:36:57wait for me at home.
00:36:58I'll be back in an hour.
00:36:59He grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go.
00:37:02Didn't say anything.
00:37:03Just looked at me with those dark,
00:37:04sad eyes.
00:37:07He's scared you're not coming back.
00:37:09His mother left him exactly like that.
00:37:11I'm coming back.
00:37:12I'll see the doctor and come right home.
00:37:14You play here, okay?
00:37:15I was still mid-sentence
00:37:16when he climbed into the back seat of the car.
00:37:18The butler tried not to hope.
00:37:20Master Leo,
00:37:21you're going to the hospital with Miss Bennett?
00:37:22Leo nodded.
00:37:24Thank God.
00:37:25He's finally willing to leave the house.
00:37:27Your depression's getting better.
00:37:28Just keep it slow.
00:37:29Relax.
00:37:29I took the script and the meds and left.
00:37:32Leo was waiting in the lobby with his small batman.
00:37:35Nora.
00:37:38Are you sick?
00:37:39A little, kiddo.
00:37:41I used to skip meals a lot,
00:37:42so I got sick.
00:37:43Promise me you'll never let yourself get like that.
00:37:46Does it hurt?
00:37:47If it hurts,
00:37:48I can give you candy.
00:37:50Daddy told me candy makes you forget.
00:37:52My tears fell without warning.
00:37:54In the crane house,
00:37:55I'd cry and they'd call it dramatic.
00:37:58Small town girl.
00:37:59Can't handle the lifestyle.
00:38:03I had depression.
00:38:05Stop faking it to get attention!
00:38:07The nephew I'd raised for two years
00:38:09stood next to his mother on divorce day
00:38:11and called me ugly.
00:38:12And here was this four-year-old mafia heir
00:38:14handing me his last piece of candy.
00:38:16Nora,
00:38:17I'm going to eat every meal
00:38:19so I can grow up and protect you.
00:38:26You better grow fast, babe.
00:38:28When we walked out of the hospital,
00:38:29there was a black Maybach idling at the curb.
00:38:32Luca was leaning against it.
00:38:33Mr. Castellano,
00:38:34why are you here?
00:38:35Your depression's getting better.
00:38:36Just keep it slow.
00:38:37Relax.
00:38:38I took the script and the meds and left.
00:38:40Leo was waiting in the lobby with his small batman.
00:38:44Nora,
00:38:46are you sick?
00:38:48A little, kiddo.
00:38:49I used to skip meals a lot,
00:38:50so I got sick.
00:38:52Promise me you'll never let yourself get like that.
00:38:54Does it hurt?
00:38:56If it hurts,
00:38:57I can give you candy.

00:40:48Luca was leaning against it.
00:40:49Mr. Castellano,
00:40:50why are you here?
00:40:52I made him the king of Atlantis,
00:40:54but on the day we were dying,
00:40:56he killed me.
00:40:56When I opened my eyes,
00:40:58I was here.
00:40:59The day of the coming of age ceremony.
00:41:01I choose Helena to be my title mate.
00:41:03She alone is worthy of the crown.
00:41:05Don't worry.
00:41:06I don't make the same mistake twice.
00:41:08For three years,
00:41:10I made him the king of Atlantis.
00:41:13But on the day we were bound,
00:41:15he killed me.
00:41:17I've waited long enough, Korra.
00:41:19Now it's your turn to pay.
00:41:37You swore!
00:41:38You swore I was your one and only title mate!
00:41:41You swore before their altar!
00:41:43Before the sea god and goddess!
00:41:45A mate bond is for the strong.
00:41:47And you, Korra?
00:41:48You can't even sing the title aura.
00:41:49You're garbage.
00:41:50Killing you?
00:41:51Just cleaning up.
00:41:52Then my sister?
00:41:53Was it always her?
00:41:54You wanted her, not me?
00:41:57Without you in the way,
00:41:59I'd have mated her years ago.
00:42:01You worthless trash.
00:42:03Yeah.
00:42:04I'm a disfigured princess.
00:42:05Deaf to the tides.
00:42:07Can't heal my own kind.
00:42:08I cored my whole soul into you.
00:42:10Like a fool in love.
00:42:12The sea god gave me power
00:42:13to test his bloodline.
00:42:15And I...
00:42:16I chose wrong.
00:42:17The prince I tried to save.
00:42:19He turned on me.
00:42:25Ugh!
00:42:26Ugh!
00:42:47I stole the trident for him.
00:42:49I gave him my love.
00:42:50I granted him divine power.
00:42:52I made him king of Atlantis.
00:42:55But he was just using me.
00:42:56He drained me dry.
00:42:58Then plunged the trident straight through my heart.
00:43:01You worthless, scarred waste of a princess.
00:43:03You actually thought you could have me?
00:43:05No!
00:43:05If you hadn't saved me that day,
00:43:08Helena would have been mine from the start.
00:43:09You ruined it!
00:43:10In your dreams.
00:43:12Helena is my sister.
00:43:13She'll never mate with you.
00:43:15Oh, my sweet, foolish sister.
00:43:18Helena, please, help me.
00:43:21Help you?
00:43:21And let you steal the crown from me?
00:43:30Trash, you only fit to feed abyssal worms.
00:43:32Farewell, my dear sister.
00:43:36You died with no body to bury.
00:43:38But my hatred burned so fierce,
00:43:40it dragged me back through the flames.
00:43:42When I opened my eyes,
00:43:43I was here.
00:43:45The day of the coming of age ceremony.
00:43:49Adulthood is blessing and a curse.
00:43:52Before the tide calms,
00:43:54you must find your mates.
00:43:56Those who fail shall be cast into the abyssal chasm,
00:44:00transformed into mindless worms of the deep.
00:44:04Enjoy your night.
00:44:05So he went back in time, too.
00:44:07Scared I'll choose him again?
00:44:08Don't worry.
00:44:08I don't make the same mistake twice.
00:44:14A bloodline this pure.
00:44:16He's Sion Sion of the Sea God, too?
00:44:21I choose Helena to be my tidal mate.
00:44:25She alone is worthy of the crown.
00:44:27Look at the freak.
00:44:28She actually thought Valric would want her?
00:44:31She cannot even hear the tides.
00:44:32What a pitiful disgrace.
00:44:34Trash belongs in the kitchen,
00:44:35not at the tide binding.
00:44:36I can't hear the tides.
00:44:37In their eyes,
00:44:38I'm abandoned by the Sea God.
00:44:39And Helena,
00:44:40with that divine voice,
00:44:41they worship her like a goddess.
00:44:44Take it, Helena.
00:44:46I will make you the queen of Atlantis.
00:44:50No dead weight this time.
00:44:51Faster.
00:44:52I'll take my throne again.
00:44:54You're a long-forgotten Sion.
00:44:56Without me,
00:44:57you'll never even touch that throne.
00:44:58The Tear of the Sea Goddess!
00:45:00Her very first tear after tide binding!
00:45:02The symbol of eternal love!
00:45:04I just saw Valric had Tear of the Sea Goddess.
00:45:07It brings eternal tidal power.
00:45:09They say a tide binding is coming.
00:45:11Must be for Princess Korra.
00:45:14Helena?
00:45:15You're here?
00:45:17I'm here.
00:45:18With a binding gift.
00:45:20Congratulations, Korra.
00:45:21Is this for me?
00:45:22Put it on me.
00:45:23Hurry!
00:45:24What are you staring at?
00:45:26Put it on me already.
00:45:28You witch!
00:45:29Once this binding's over,
00:45:30I'll end you myself.
00:45:33The Tear of the Sea Goddess?
00:45:35You're not worthy to even touch it.
00:45:38See?
00:45:39It was never yours.
00:45:40You'll never take it.
00:45:46Don't be sad, Korra.
00:45:47Before you become a worm in the Abdus,
00:45:49I'll have Valruk assign you to clean its entrance.
00:45:52Just worry about yourself.
00:45:54That wretch
00:45:55barely has any divine power left.
00:45:57Helena,
00:45:58I honestly pity you.
00:46:00What did you just call him?
00:46:02Korra!
00:46:02You forsaken trash!
00:46:04How dare you insult me!
00:46:11Korra, my chosen one.
00:46:13Find the Forgotten King.
00:46:15Fulfill your destiny.
00:46:17I was born able to sense Sea God's bloodlines.
00:46:20And with Poseidon's blessing in this life.
00:46:23I can see the purity of souls.
00:46:26But theirs?
00:46:27I've never seen such rot.
00:46:28Am I wrong, Valric?
00:46:31You are drained.
00:46:32Go ahead.
00:46:33Take her if that's what you want.
00:46:35And when it's too late,
00:46:37you'll see,
00:46:38without me,
00:46:39you're nothing.
00:46:45I carry Poseidon's sacred blood.
00:46:47And you,
00:46:47a filthy outcast,
00:46:49dare speak my name?
00:46:50Sacred blood?
00:46:51The closest you've ever come to Poseidon
00:46:53is stealing his power in your dreams.
00:46:55And you dare speak his name?
00:47:00God, it's her face!
00:47:01Like a worm chopped it!
00:47:03I'll see that in my nightmares.
00:47:04An ugly princess who can't even heal her own kind?
00:47:06She'll curse all Atlantis!
00:47:09Oops, my dearest sister.
00:47:11My hand slipped.
00:47:12I just thought everyone should see the real you.
00:47:14No one's ever going to choose you.
00:47:15Get on your knees and beg us.
00:47:16Helena needs a latrine maid.
00:47:18Want me to say it?
00:47:19That you and Helena used abyssal worm venom on me?
00:47:21That you stole my voice and ruined my face?
00:47:33Cora, please!
00:47:34You know that's not true.
00:47:36You got careless and now you're blaming us?
00:47:37Enough, you crazy fool!
00:47:40Know your place!
00:47:42Queen Bella's jewels?
00:47:44Robbing the dead now, Cora?
00:47:45Give it back!
00:47:46My mother left that to me!
00:47:48You're a worthless princess.
00:47:50And Bella left you something?
00:47:52Oh, you want it back?
00:47:54Let the abysmal worms tear you apart first.
00:47:56Then you can have it.
00:47:57In hell.
00:47:58She's a born liar!
00:47:59No one should mate with her!
00:48:00Cast her to the chasm!
00:48:01Guards, drag this thing to the abyss!
00:48:04Let go!
00:48:05On what charge?
00:48:06Where's your proof?
00:48:07The charge?
00:48:08Your filth, that's all.
00:48:10Got it?
00:48:12This time, you'll die in the abyss.
00:48:15Again.
00:48:15Enjoy it?
00:48:16Valric!
00:48:23You can't touch her.
00:48:25Poseidon's law doesn't allow this.
00:48:27Poseidon's bloodline?
00:48:28So powerful.
00:48:29Did I got it wrong all along?
00:48:30The true Skyan is him?
00:48:35I choose Helena to be my tidal mate.
00:48:39She alone is worthy of the crown.
00:48:41Look at the freak!
00:48:43She actually thought Valric would want her?
00:48:45She cannot even hear the tides.
00:48:46What a pitiful disgrace.
00:48:48Trash belongs in the kitchen, not at the tide binding.

00:48:51In their eyes, I'm abandoned by the sea god.
00:48:53And Helena, with that divine voice, they worship her like a goddess.
00:48:58Take it, Helena.
00:49:00I will make you the queen of Atlantis.
00:49:04No dead weight this time.
00:49:05Faster!
00:49:06I'll take my throne again.
00:49:08You're a long-forgotten Sian.
00:49:10Without me, you'll never even touch that throne.
00:49:12The tear of the sea goddess!
00:49:14Her very first tear after tide binding!
00:49:16The symbol of eternal love!
00:49:19I just saw Valric had tear of the sea goddess.

00:49:28Helena?
00:49:29You're here?
00:49:31I'm here.
00:49:32With a binding gift.
00:49:34Congratulations, Korra.
00:49:35Is this for me?
00:49:36Put it on me.
00:49:37Hurry!
00:49:39What are you staring at?
00:49:40Put it on me already.
00:49:42You witch.
00:49:43Once this binding's over, I'll end you myself.
00:49:47The tear of the sea goddess?
00:49:49You're not worthy to even touch it.
00:49:52See?

00:49:54You'll never take it.
00:50:00Don't be sad, Korra.

00:50:03I'll have Valruk assign you to clean its entrance.
00:50:06Just worry about yourself.
00:50:08That wretch barely has any divine power left.
00:50:12Helena, I honestly pity you.
00:50:14What did you just call him?
00:50:16Korra, you forsaken trash!
00:50:18How dare you insult me!
00:50:25Korra, my chosen one.
00:50:27Find the forgotten king.
00:50:29Fulfill your destiny.
00:50:31I was born able to sense see God's bloodlines.

00:50:41I've never seen such rot.
00:50:42Am I wrong, Valrik?
00:50:45You are drained.
00:50:46Go ahead.
00:50:48Take her if that's what you want.
00:50:49And when it's too late,
00:50:51you'll see, without me, you're nothing.
00:50:59I carry Poseidon's sacred blood.
00:51:01And you, a filthy outcast, dare speak my name?
00:51:04Sacred blood?
00:51:05The closest you've ever come to Poseidon
00:51:07is stealing his power in your dreams.
00:51:09And you dare speak his name?

00:51:48You know that's not true.
00:51:50You got careless and now you're blaming us?
00:51:51Enough, you crazy fool!

00:52:02You're a worthless princess.
00:52:04And Bella left you something?
00:52:06Oh, you want it back?
00:52:08Let the abysmal worms tear you apart first.
00:52:10Then you can have it.
00:52:11In hell.
00:52:12She's a born liar!
00:52:13No one should mate with her!
00:52:14Cast her to the chasm!
00:52:15Guards, drag this thing to the abyss!
00:52:19Let go!
00:52:20On what charge?
00:52:21Where's your proof?
00:52:22The charge?
00:52:22Your filth, that's all.
00:52:24Got it?
00:52:26This time, you'll die in the abyss.
00:52:29Again.
00:52:29Enjoy it?
00:52:30Valric!
00:52:37You can't touch her.
00:52:39Poseidon's law doesn't allow this.
00:52:41Poseidon's bloodline?
00:52:42So powerful!
00:52:43Did I got it wrong all along?
00:52:45The true Skyion?
00:52:46Is him?
00:52:49In a subasta, mi hermana eligió al tritón fuerte y mayor.
00:52:54Yo escogí al tritón herido y más joven.
00:52:56Lo sané con mi propia sangre y lo convertí en el tritón más fuerte.
00:53:01Un día, cuando mi hermana fue herida,
00:53:04él me mató a...
00:53:04Si no fuera por ti, ella me habría llevado con ella.
00:53:07Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, me encontré de vuelta en la subasta.
00:53:10Vi a Cassian de inmediato, todavía escondiéndose en la parte trasera.
00:53:13El orgullo de un tritón está en su cola.
00:53:15Todas las colas brillaban en la celda.
00:53:17La suya era un desastre.
00:53:18Sin escamas.
00:53:19Cola medio arruinada.
00:53:20Justo como la última vez.
00:53:21Rora, vamos por esos dos.
00:53:24Apresúrate, o todos los fuertes se habrán ido.
00:53:26Imaginé que no había forma de que en realidad,
00:53:28ella eligiera al más débil.
00:53:30Me equivoqué.
00:53:31Ella realmente compró al moribundo.
00:53:33Padre había estado furioso.
00:53:34Pero Morgana solo sonrió, y dijo.
00:53:36Padre.
00:53:37Ese era el que Aurora quería.
00:53:39¿Sabes cómo es ella?
00:53:41No tuve otra opción más que pagar por él.
00:53:43De todos modos, yo escogí al fuerte.
00:53:46Me lo llevo a él.
00:53:47Esta vez no.
00:53:48Entonces llévatelo tú.
00:53:49Quiero a ese.
00:53:54Entonces llévatelo tú.
00:53:55Quiero a ese.
00:53:55Señalé a otro tritón.
00:53:57El que estaba parado ahí sin expresión.
00:53:59Y elevé mi oferta sin dudarlo.
00:54:00Esta vez, no me importaba a quién escogiera.
00:54:03Solo quería una cosa.
00:54:04Lealtad.
00:54:04Rora, tu oferta es muy alta.
00:54:06Padre solo nos dio algo de dinero.
00:54:07Si lo gastas todo.
00:54:08¿Y yo qué uso?
00:54:09Ese tampoco se ve mal.
00:54:11Si te quedas sin dinero, cómpralo a él.
00:54:16¿A él?
00:54:17Ni lo usaría para calentar mi cama.
00:54:19Pobre Cassian.
00:54:20Vida pasada.
00:54:21Él realmente pensó que yo lo había alejado de Morgana.
00:54:24Lo que él nunca supo era simple.
00:54:25Morgana nunca lo había querido.
00:54:27Justo como antes.
00:54:27Ella tomó a Gedeon.
00:54:29Pero mientras me iba con mi tritón,
00:54:31Cassian de repente empezó a golpearse a sí mismo contra la pared de su celda de agua.
00:54:36La multitud se rió.
00:54:37¿Qué es eso?
00:54:38Con una cora como esa.
00:54:40Solo un idiota lo compraría.
00:54:41Cassian había regresado también.
00:54:43Por eso estaba entrando en pánico.
00:54:44Porque la que había querido en ambas vidas aún no lo había elegido.
00:54:47Toda una vida de fantasía se fue en un segundo.
00:54:49Eso debió doler.
00:54:53Lo que me sorprendió fue su cara.
00:54:55Él no parecía aliviado de ser comprado.
00:54:57¿No quieres venir a casa conmigo?
00:54:59Él lucía frío.
00:55:00Así que le pregunté directamente.
00:55:01Me dirigió una mirada plana y no dijo nada.
00:55:04Por lo que yo sé, esos tritones también se clasifican.
00:55:09Si no te sacara, seguirías peleando diario.
00:55:14Aquí puedo protegerte.
00:55:16No soy la basura inútil que dejó romper su cola.
00:55:19Él no estaba equivocado.
00:55:20Si no quieres quedarte aquí, entonces vete.
00:55:23Una chispa brilló en sus ojos.
00:55:25Estaba tentado.
00:55:26Pero antes de que pudiera moverse, me voy yo primero.
00:55:29¿A dónde vas?
00:55:30Si no quieres quedarte, entonces ir a comprar a otro.
00:55:33Si voy a criar a un rey tritón, no estaré con alguien que duda de mí.
00:55:39Me miró, claramente tomado por sorpresa.
00:55:42Cada tritón quiere el trono.
00:55:44El talento importa, pero el talento puede pulirse.
00:55:47Un traidor como Kassian, sin valor.
00:55:50La subasta ha terminado.
00:55:53¿Crees que una familia que compra tritones solo tiene una fuente?
00:56:04En una subasta, mi hermana eligió al tritón fuerte y mayor.
00:56:08Yo escogí al tritón herido y más joven.
00:56:10Lo sané con mi propia sangre y lo convertí en el tritón más fuerte.
00:56:15Un día, cuando mi hermana fue herida,
00:56:18él me mató a...

00:57:20Padre solo nos dio algo de dinero.
00:57:22Si lo gastas todo, ¿y yo qué uso?
00:57:24Ese tampoco se ve mal.
00:57:26Si te quedas sin dinero,
00:57:27cómpralo a él.
00:57:30¿A él?
00:57:32Ni lo usaría para calentar mi cama.

00:59:01Un traidor como Kassian,
00:59:03sin valor.
00:59:04La subasta ha terminado.
00:59:07¿Crees que una familia
00:59:08que compra tritones
00:59:10solo tiene una fuente?
00:59:18En una subasta,
00:59:19mi hermana eligió
00:59:20al tritón fuerte y mayor.
00:59:22Yo escogí al tritón herido
00:59:24y más joven.
00:59:25Lo sané con mi propia sangre
00:59:26y lo convertí
00:59:27en el tritón más fuerte.
00:59:29Un día,
00:59:30cuando mi hermana fue herida,
00:59:33él me mató.
00:59:33Si no fuera por ti,
00:59:34ella me habría llevado con ella.
00:59:35Cuando volví a abrir los ojos,
00:59:37me encontré de vuelta
00:59:38en la subasta.
00:59:39Vi a Kassian de inmediato,
00:59:40todavía escondiéndose
00:59:41en la parte trasera.
00:59:42El orgullo de un tritón
00:59:43está en su cola.
00:59:44Todas las colas
00:59:44brillaban en la celda.
00:59:46La suya era un desastre.
00:59:47Sin escamas,
00:59:47cola medio arruinada.
00:59:49Justo como la última vez.
00:59:50Rora,
00:59:51vamos por esos dos.
00:59:53Apresúrate,
00:59:53o todos los fuertes
00:59:54se habrán ido.
00:59:55Imaginé que no había forma
00:59:56de que en realidad
00:59:57ella eligiera al más débil.
00:59:59Me equivoqué.
01:00:00Ella realmente compró
01:00:01al moribundo.
01:00:02Padre había estado furioso,
01:00:03pero Morgana solo sonrió
01:00:04y dijo,
01:00:05Padre,
01:00:06ese era el que Aurora quería.
01:00:08Sabes cómo es ella.
01:00:10No tuve otra opción
01:00:11más que pagar por él.
01:00:12De todos modos,
01:00:13yo escogí al fuerte.
01:00:14Me lo llevo a él.
01:00:15Esta vez no.
01:00:16Entonces,
01:00:17llévatelo tú.
01:00:18Quiero a ese.
01:00:22Entonces,
01:00:23llévatelo tú.
01:00:24Quiero a ese.
01:00:24Señalé a otro tritón,
01:00:26el que estaba parado ahí
01:00:27sin expresión,
01:00:28y elevé mi oferta
01:00:28sin dudarlo.
01:00:29Esta vez,
01:00:30no me importaba
01:00:31a quién escogiera.
01:00:31Solo quería una cosa.
01:00:32De alta.
01:00:33Rora,
01:00:34tu oferta es muy alta.
01:00:35Padre solo nos dio
01:00:35algo de dinero.
01:00:36Si lo gastas todo,
01:00:37¿y yo qué uso?
01:00:38Ese tampoco se ve mal.
01:00:40Si te quedas sin dinero,
01:00:42cómpralo a él.
01:00:45¿A él?
01:00:46Ni la usaría
01:00:47para calentar mi cama.
01:00:48Pobre Kassian.
01:00:49Vida pasada.
01:00:50Él realmente pensó
01:00:51que yo lo había alejado
01:00:52de Morgana.
01:00:52Lo que él nunca supo
01:00:53era simple.
01:00:54Morgana nunca lo había querido.
01:00:55Justo como antes,
01:00:56ella tomó a Gedeon.
01:00:58Pero mientras me iba
01:00:59con mi tritón,
01:01:00Kassian de repente
01:01:01empezó a golpearse
01:01:02a sí mismo
01:01:02contra la pared
01:01:03de su celda de agua.
01:01:05La multitud se rió.
01:01:06¿Qué es eso?
01:01:07Con una cola como esa,
01:01:09solo un idiota lo compraría.
01:01:10Kassian había regresado también,
01:01:11por eso estaba entrando en pánico,
01:01:13porque la que había querido
01:01:14en ambas vidas
01:01:15aún no lo había elegido.
01:01:15Toda una vida de fantasía
01:01:17se fue en un segundo.
01:01:18Eso debió doler.
01:01:22Lo que me sorprendió
01:01:23fue su cara.
01:01:24Él no parecía aliviado
01:01:24de ser comprado.
01:01:26¿No quieres venir
01:01:27a casa conmigo?
01:01:28Él lucía frío,
01:01:29así que le pregunté directamente.
01:01:30Me dirigió una mirada plana
01:01:31y no dijo nada.
01:01:33Por lo que yo sé,
01:01:34esos tritones
01:01:35también se clasifican.
01:01:38Si no te sacara,
01:01:40seguirías peleando diario.
01:01:43Aquí puedo protegerte.
01:01:44No soy la basura inútil
01:01:46que dejó romper su cola.
01:01:48Él no estaba equivocado.
01:01:49Si no quieres quedarte aquí,
01:01:51entonces vete.
01:01:51Una chispa brilló en sus ojos.
01:01:53Estaba tentado,
01:01:55pero antes de que pudiera moverse,
01:01:56me voy yo primero.
01:01:58¿A dónde vas?
01:01:58Si no quieres quedarte,
01:02:00entonces iré a comprar a otro.
01:02:02Si voy a criar a un rey tritón,
01:02:04no estaré con alguien
01:02:06que duda de mí.
01:02:08Me miró,
01:02:09claramente tomado por sorpresa.
01:02:11Cada tritón quiere el trono.
01:02:13El talento importa,
01:02:14pero el talento puede pulirse.
01:02:16Un traidor como Kassian,
01:02:17sin valor.
01:02:19La subasta ha terminado.
01:02:21¿Crees que una familia
01:02:23que compra tritones
01:02:24solo tiene una fuente?
