00:00I'll call my father, and by tomorrow, every billboard in this city will be
00:04broadcasting my boyfriend's pathetic little show. Not just because he stuffed
00:08money into a stripper's collar, but because it was my money. I'm Daisy Mojave.
00:13Five minutes ago, I threw out the trash. His name is Jagger. He's probably still
00:18cocky enough to think he's messing with some helpless waitress.
00:22I can't go to prison, Daisy. I won't survive in there. You're my only hope, please.
00:28I thought I was saving his life. Turns out, I was just paying for him to treat me like
00:32a joke. Watch this. Next time, I'll ask for $5,000. She's poor as hell, but she'll find
00:38a way. She's obsessed with me. Damn it. Even that silk shirt on his back
00:42was paid for by my tips. What the hell is wrong with you? Are you
00:49crazy? That's my money. Give it back. Oh, I get it. How much for a night, Daisy? Or do
00:56you only take tips in the alley? There. Pick it up. It's more than you'll make in a
01:00week cleaning toilets. Go back to the basement, clean yourself up, and have dinner ready. I
01:06might be late, but when I get home, you're going to apologize for this embarrassing scene.
01:10I should have broken a bottle and carved my name into his lying face, but I didn't get
01:14the chance, because then the bouncers grabbed me. They were huge. They threw me out like I
01:18was trash. Look at you. You're nothing but a waitress. You'll die in that uniform.
01:26He was right. I should look at myself. I haven't talked to my father in years, not since I severed
01:32ties with him, but now I'm making the call. I'm calling daddy, and tomorrow I'll make
01:37sure every single billboard in Las Vegas is plastered with Jagger on his knees, clutching
01:42my legs and begging for my money. And my dad? He owns this town. One phone call, and he'll
01:46bury that bar, and half a Vegas with it. The phone is ringing. It's 3 a.m. I know. I'm
01:52staring at the screen, heart racing. I told my father I'll never call his number, because
01:58of my mom. Last autumn, my mother was in a horrific car accident. I rushed to the hospital.
02:04I called him. I mean my father, once and once again. My mom was dying in the ER, and him?
02:09He was too busy with his dark business. She was already gone when he finally arrived.
02:13Mom is dead! And where were you? Oh, right! Busy with your damn business! Keep your money.
02:20This ain't Matt. I'd rather starve than be your daughter. His back was broken. He looked
02:26so small. I'd never seen my dad like that. He lost the love of his life. But me? I lost
02:30my entire world. I will never, ever forgive you. I left with nothing. Just my anger. Then
02:37a homeless guy cornered me. He was high, dirty, and wouldn't let me go. I thought, this is it.
02:42I'm gonna die here. You okay? Don't worry. You're safe with me. Thank you. Thank you so much.
02:49Come with me. I'll get you a hotel. You can't stay on the streets alone. I... I don't have any
02:54money. Forget about money. I've got you. He looked like an angel, but now I know he was just a
03:00devil
03:00playing a game. I became his girlfriend. He told me he was an entrepreneur, a big dreamer. I was
03:06desperate for work, so he found me that waitress job at his friend's place. In that shitty shop,
03:11I worked like a dog. Getting yelled at. Getting touched by creeps. Pulling double shifts. I wanted
03:16to prove I could survive without my dad's blood money, and I won. I had a basement. I fixed my
03:21own
03:21lights and pipes. I slept on a mattress on the floor. Every day, I bought flowers for my mom. I
03:27was
03:27proud. Then, Jagger started his game. Daisy, it's over. My business, they took everything,
03:34and the hospital just called. My mom, she is dying in the ER. Take it. Go save your mom. Just
03:40go.
03:41Looking back now, I understand the look on his face back then. He saw a fool.
03:46Half a month later, he told me his mother had recovered. I was so happy, it felt like my own
03:51victory. So I worked myself to the bone. I had saved every nickel to finally get out of that damp,
03:57dark basement. I had the flyer for a new apartment, one with a window where my mom's flowers could actually
04:02see the sun. Then came the second time Jagger broke down. He told me the vaguest big shots were
04:07ruining him, destroying his life piece by piece. Daisy, they're crushing me like a bug. They're
04:16doing it just for the hell of it. To those rich monsters, I'm just a toy. I looked at him,
04:21and I
04:21felt this strange guilt. It's hard to explain. Maybe my father didn't sign this specific order,
04:26but he was one of them. He was the king of that cruel world. I fought to convince myself it
04:31had nothing
04:32to do with him, but I still felt like I owed Jagger. I took all my savings, every dollar I
04:38had left.
04:39Daisy, you're my savior. I'll fix everything. I'll make you proud, I promise.
04:44Did I want him to be grateful? I don't know. I just wanted him to stand up again.
04:49I wanted him to be the man who saved me in that dark alley. I hesitated when he came for
04:54the third time.
04:55Daisy, this is a golden opportunity. That little flower shop is going into liquidation. We can snatch
05:03it up for just a bit of cash. I'll bring you in as my partner. You'll be the boss. No
05:11more working
05:11your ass off in that shitty shop. I stared at that rose, my heart skipping a beat for the first
05:16time.
05:17I didn't say yes to him right away. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw his face darken
05:22instantly.
05:22But I had no energy to worry about that, that shop. It was the birthday gift my father had prepared
05:27for
05:27me. I just hadn't gone to claim it yet. I don't believe my father would do this.
05:32Looking back, that flicker of annoyance on Jagger's face wasn't my imagination. He hid it instantly,
05:37putting on that, I'm doing this for you mask again.
05:41Daisy, I get it. You're scared. You've spent your whole life around dishwater and ketchup stains.
05:48I understand your poor person mentality. But look, I've paved the way for you.
05:54Jagger, I just mean-
05:55Enough! Stop making excuses. If you lack this much trust and courage,
06:01you'll spend the rest of your life in that filthy uniform.
06:06I'm meeting some friends tonight. We'll talk tomorrow, if you've grown some backbone by then.
06:11His success seminar bullshit didn't work on me. Even the guy who manages my allowance puts together
06:17better presentations. But I caught one thing. He said he was meeting friends.
06:22Jagger never introduced me to his friends. I knew he was hiding something. I really didn't want to
06:26break my vow, but I called my uncles. My father has plenty of friends like them. Men who can reshape
06:32this city with a single word, and who are obsessed with convincing me to come home.
06:40Within minutes, I had his exact location. A strip club famous for its wild dancers.
06:47I rushed there the second my shift ended. Honestly, I should have brought a dozen thugs with me right
06:51then. Damn it, I was spacing out. The call dropped. The signal in this hellhole is absolute trash.
07:00I walked toward the streetlight thinking about the homeless man from that day.
07:07And that's when I saw him. Jagger. Behind him are his friends. The kind of scum that only comes out
07:14at night. Nice dress. Trying to impress me? Too bad though. You're out. Do you even know who he is?
07:23He's the future heir to the Sapphire Casino. The third biggest casino in this district.
07:28To be honest, you played the part well. The sweet, innocent girl who didn't care about status.
07:34You almost passed our little commoner's audition. What a shame. You're just another pathetic,
07:40money-grabbing peasant. The second money was on the line, you turned into a starving animal.
07:45It's honestly repulsive. You just blew your chance to be chosen by Jagger.
07:51Trust me, a girl like you? That's the only way you'd ever taste the high life.
08:03Listen, if you're obedient enough tonight, we might let you crawl out of this alley in one piece.
08:10Good God, Daddy actually taught me this one. Go to hell, you pieces of trash!
08:25Don't touch me! Give it back!
08:27Who's calling? Is that shitty diner calling you back for a double shift? Don't bother, Daisy.
08:31Do you have any idea what you would have gotten if you'd passed that final test?
08:35You would have had a real sapphire ring. And an apartment so high-end you wouldn't even know how
08:40to use the elevator. You. But now, I've completely changed my mind.
08:47Jagger, if you lay a single finger on me, you're finished. That pathetic sapphire casino of yours,
08:52and every single one of you, you all buried ten feet under!
08:54You? A dirt-poor waitress? Since you love playing the hard-to-get cards so much,
08:58let's see how long you last!
09:03Hey, boss man? Daisy can't come in for her shift tonight. She's busy entertaining some real gentlemen.
09:08It might take all night.
09:09His voice snapped into a dead silence. If I could move, I'd take a picture of Jagger's face right now.
09:23You're late. Again. Again. And again.
09:26I know, my little princess. I'm sorry. Now tell daddy, what did they do to you?
09:34I looked at him. Really looked at him. For the first time in years. The lines on his face were
09:39deeper, carved by the time I spent running away. He looked tired. He looked older. But I still
09:43didn't want to talk to him. I definitely wasn't ready to say dad. So I did the only thing I
09:48could.
09:49I buried my face in his chest, refusing to look at him. I felt him stiffen for a second,
09:54like he was actually trembling. But before I could even process that, he was touching the
09:58bruises on my neck. His eyes went cold. He changed his mind. It's okay, baby girl. You don't have to
10:03say a word. Just stay there. Daddy's got this. He tried to lift me up, wanting to carry me back
10:08to the safety of the car. He wanted to shield my eyes to pretend this world didn't exist. But I
10:13wasn't having it. I've never taken a hit this big since the day I was born. I'm not going to
10:17hide.
10:18I want to watch. I need to remember this feeling. My father sighed, a soft, defeated sound.
10:23He knew he could never win an argument with me. He gestured to the shadow behind him.
10:30Lorenzo, stay with her. Don't let a single drop of blood touch her shoes.
10:35I recognized him immediately. Dark-eyed Lorenzo. He's only a few years older than me,
10:41an orphan my father rescued from the streets long ago. He had been my shadow for as long
10:46as I could remember. He stepped forward, silent as a ghost, pushing a wheelchair. I stared at
10:54that thing in pure horror. A wheelchair. In the same space as me, I'm an heiress, not an invalid.
11:00I gave him my sharpest, most go-to-hell glare. Lorenzo, knowing me better than anyone, took
11:06the hint and immediately folded it away. He didn't wait for my permission. He just held
11:11me closer. Lorenzo, put me down. I can stand, mostly. Your ankles are swollen, princess.
11:22Just for ten minutes, then you can go back to being the boss. He didn't wait for my permission.
11:26He just held me closer. His grip firm but careful, like I was made of glass. He was always like
11:33this. The big brother who never spoke. The guardian who never left. Wait, wait. There's
11:42been a mistake. I'm Jagger. Sapphire Casino. My dad. My dad knows people. I saw my father's
11:52expression go blank for a split second. It wasn't anger. It was genuine, pure confusion. I totally
11:57got it. Even I thought the name Sapphire sounded incredibly tacky the first time I heard it.
12:01Father turned to look at Lorenzo. Lorenzo, still holding me, had a rare look of hesitation on his
12:07face for a second or two. He was rapidly scanning through the massive map of my family's empire in
12:12his head. I believe so, sir. If I recall, it's a subsubsidiary of our third-layer real estate branch.
12:18To be precise, it's a small, struggling venue we acquired three years ago just for the tax write-off.
12:24I saw Jagger's face turn from ghostly pale to a dead, ashy gray. My father looked at me, and I
12:29could
12:29tell he was dying to say something about my absolutely catastrophic taste in men.
12:33He opened his mouth, but he wisely swallowed his words. He just sighed and gave a dismissive
12:38wave to the men behind him, the kind of gesture you use when you want someone to take out the
12:42trash.
12:43He wanted Jagger gone, processed and buried in the dark heart of the black market. But I had a better
12:48idea. A much louder idea. Wait, dad, I don't want him disappeared. Not yet. Anything you want,
12:56princess. I want to buy every billboard in Las Vegas. Every single one. I said, let there be
13:03billboards, and ten minutes later, there were billboards. As for the content, the inspiration
13:08struck a few hours ago while I was eavesdropping. Earlier this evening, when I was tracking Jagger,
13:14I stood in the shadows outside the bar, listening to him brag to his loser friends.
13:19Look at that face. Man, you should get an Oscar. He made yourself cry.
13:25Watch this part. I tell her my mom is dying, and she hands over her last 500 bucks like a
13:31mindless
13:31puppy. I recorded the whole thing just to remind myself how easy it is to play these peasants.
13:36Look at this. I told her, Daisy May, maybe if you worked three more shifts at that greasy diner,
13:42we'd finally be in the same. And you know what she did? She nodded. She actually nodded.
13:48The girl is a delusional idiot. She actually thought a sapphire was coming her way.
13:53A sapphire? Best I can do is a plastic from a vending machine.
14:01But hey, it's fun watching a stray dog try to act like a lady.
14:04Jagger kept those videos to admire his own performance. He wanted an audience? Well,
14:09I'm about to give him the biggest audience in the history of this city.
14:14Look at this stupid girl. She actually thinks I'm some kind of big shot.
14:20Wow. It turns out, he does know a lot of people after all. And unfortunately for him,
14:26right at this very moment, even more people are getting to know him.
14:33Daisy! Daisy, I'm sorry. It was a joke. A prank. Stop the screens. Please. My dad is going to kill
14:40me. The bank just canceled our credit. Everything is gone. I'll do anything. I'll leave the city.
14:45I'll give you the rest of the tapes. There's more. There's a video of you sleeping.
14:50The second those words left Jagger's mouth, the temperature in the alley dropped to sub-zero.
14:54I felt Lorenzo's heart skip a beat, then settle into a rhythm that was terrifyingly calm.
15:00He looked at Jagger, not with anger, but with the cold, detached gaze of a man looking at a piece
15:05of meat already hanging in a slaughterhouse. You recorded her while she was sleeping.
15:10Yes. Yes. I can delete it. I can-
15:14Lorenzo's movements were as elegant as if he were preparing for a gala. But in those dark eyes,
15:19there wasn't a single trace of human emotion left. He's no longer a person. He's evidence.
15:24Take him to the basement. Make sure he stays conscious until he's told us where every single
15:28copy is. After that, I'll handle the disposal. Lorenzo stepped in front of my wheelchair.
15:34He placed one gloved hand over his shoulder, his head bowing low.
15:38Please wait here for a moment, princess. I'll be back shortly.
15:42He pulled a delicate little box from behind him, opened it, and placed it on my lap. French
15:47macarons garnished with black truffle and gold leaf. He even remembered the snack I crave when
15:52I'm cranky. Then he turned around. He grabbed the other two losers by their collars, dragging
15:57them along like bags of trash. He had rolled up his suit sleeves to his elbows, revealing
16:02his lean, muscular forearms. I've known him since we were kids. He's always been there, as predictable
16:08as my own shadow. But for the first time in my life, looking at those tensed muscles and that
16:13cold, lethal back, I realized, damn, Lorenzo is actually kind of hot.
16:21Daisy, no, I mean, Miss Mulgavi, please let me go. I didn't know who you really were.
16:26Jagger lied to me. If you let me go, I'll do anything.
16:30I gave you a chance. Back at the bar, if you had felt even a little bit sorry for me,
16:33or if you just
16:34didn't laugh when he threw that money at my face, you wouldn't be here tonight.
16:37I had no choice. Daisy, I really didn't. In a place like this, I can't survive if I don't
16:42make them happy. I don't have a rich family like you. I was born with nothing. I have
16:46to follow strong people to survive? Is that so wrong?
16:49Tiffany, I was trying to survive, too. In that dark, dirty basement, I fixed the leaky
16:53pipes myself. I worked 14 hours every single day. My hands were ruined from the soap, and
16:58my back hurt so much I could barely stand. I was surviving, too. But I never thought I
17:03had to hurt other people just to stay alive. Sweetheart, the car is ready. How do you want
17:08to handle this girl? Give me a word, and she will evaporate from this city tonight.
17:14Just let her go, Dad. I've said what I needed to say. If she's smart, she'll run. If she's
17:19not, well, God will have to deal with her, because I'm done wasting my time.
17:24All right, my little angel. You know, when you said that, you looked exactly like...
17:29Exactly like what?
17:33Nothing, baby. Let's go home.
17:37Wait! Where's Lorenzo? He's not back yet. Are we just leaving him here?
17:41He can find his own way back. He's not made of sugar, Daisy. He won't melt in the rain.
17:46Coming home felt wrong. It was too big, too empty. Every corner reminded me of the one
17:52person who wasn't there anymore. Without Mom, this palace was just a high-end morgue. The
17:58silence between me and Dad was suffocating. I could feel him watching me, his shadow stretching
18:03across the marble floor. I knew he wanted to say something, to apologize, to hug me, to fix
18:09everything. But he's a Mojave. We don't do feelings.
18:13Just take a bath, Daisy. Get some sleep. Tomorrow's a new day.
18:18I was one second away from a total mental breakdown. One second away from sobbing my heart out.
18:24And then, I saw it. A scene I will never, ever forget.
18:28Welcome home, Princess Mogave. We are here to relieve your stress.
18:32You said those 14-hour shifts were hard on your legs. I hired the best physical therapists
18:37in Europe. They have good hands. They have and good faces. Enjoy, sweetheart.
18:43Princess, the billboards are bought. Tomorrow morning, Jagger will be...
18:52What is going on here?
18:55Oh, Lorenzo, you're back. Just some maintenance for Daisy's legs. Hard labor takes a toll, you
19:02know? These gentlemen are professionals. Lorenzo, you're back. You're... very wet.
19:10Princess, shall we start with the lavender oil?
19:19I didn't know the Mojave family started hiring strippers for medical treatment. If she needs
19:23physical therapy, I can do it.
19:25You?
19:29You only know how to break bones, kid. These guys know how to soothe them.
19:33I looked at the six Greek gods, then at the soaking wet, terrifyingly handsome, and clearly
19:38jealous-to-death Lorenzo.
19:40I'd do it.
19:41You? You're a soldier, not a masseur.
19:46My job. Only me.
19:51Everyone out! Dad, you two, out now!
19:58Okay, okay, princess is cranky. Let's go, boys. Move it.
20:01Dad herded the models out like a flock of ducks. Lorenzo froze, his hands still clamped around
20:06my ankle. He looked up at me, slowly. He was part of everyone. Of course. My heart skipped
20:13a beat. He was supposed to be a cold-blooded killer.
20:22For two years, he never disobeyed an order. But right now, for the first time ever, I
20:28see a terrifying flash of pure panic in the eyes of the Mojave family's most lethal shadow.
20:33Lorenzo, what are you doing? I said everyone!
20:36He doesn't let go. His grip is so tight it almost hurts, anchoring me to him. I stare down
20:42at him, watching as Adam's apple bob heavily against his throat.
20:46I let go once. You left. You got hurt. You ended up like this.
20:56That was the first time I will ever regret listening to you.
21:00My heart skipped a beat. His words dragged me back to that night two years ago.
21:04Don't you dare follow me, Lorenzo. If you take one more step, I will never, ever speak
21:08to you again.
21:16You can hate me.
21:19You can never speak to me again.
21:22But I am not letting go. Not this time.
21:26I stare into his eyes, bloodshot, stubborn, and completely consumed by a terrifying fixation.
21:32The harsh word, go, forms on my lips, but looking at his raw desperation, it completely dissolves.
21:39I slowly lean back into my wheelchair. I believe Lorenzo knows exactly what that means. And clearly,
21:45he does.
21:45I keep my eyes locked on him as he rolls up the sleeves of his black shirt. He reaches
21:50for the essential oil, pouring it into his palms. The friction creates a sound that echoes
21:55my racing pulse until his hands are burning hot. The silence was heavy, thick with the
22:00scent of sandalwood and wet skin. I close my eyes, but it only made my other senses sharper.
22:06Then his hands finally close around my ankle. Those hands, lined with thick calluses from years
22:11of holding cold, lethal weapons, are suddenly touching me with an unbelievable, heart-breaking
22:17gentleness.
22:19Because of the height difference, he is forced to look up at me from his knees, his head resting
22:24right against my lap.
22:26Lorenzo, you're trembling.
22:29Because I'm trying so hard not to lose my mind, Daisy.
22:33I reached out, hooked my finger around Lorenzo's meticulously tied black necktie, and jerked
22:38it toward me with a sudden, forceful tug.
22:45You never said a word, Lorenzo. Not one word in all these years.
22:52I actually thought you didn't like me.
22:55The air in the room died. I watched his pupils dilate, a mixture of shock and pure, unadulterated
23:01agony crossing his face.
23:03I'm a Mojave guard, Daisy. I didn't think I was... allowed to.
