Short filmTranscript
00:01My fianc, Damon, gave me an exquisite pendant, a chain of dark silver set with a stone so
00:08black it gleamed.
00:09What I didn't know was that it was a soul stone.
00:13It pried my soul out of my body.
00:17Meanwhile, he stood devotedly at the side of the woman who had stolen my body.
00:22As they held each other, as he tenderly kissed the woman in his arms,
00:26Selina, I love you.
00:28Bear me five children.
00:30And all I could do, in my pale spectral form, was scream beside them.
00:34How dare you give my body to that whore!
00:37You actually used a soul stone to rip out my soul so she could wear me like a coat!
00:42If I get another chance, I swear I'll burn you both to ash!
00:47The words left me, and my body began to burn.
00:51I thought it was over, until that sickening voice whispered in my ear again.
00:56Arya, this necklace has been passed down through the Vos family for generations.
01:01Now that we're engaged...
01:06No one is more deserving of it than you.
01:09Wait.
01:10Why was Damon speaking to me again?
01:12My palm was ice-cold.
01:15The exquisite necklace lay quietly in the hollow of my hand.
01:18I'd actually gone back, to the moment that bastard had given me the soul stone.
01:23In my last life, Damon's mistress, Selina, was dying.
01:28He bought a soul stone from an evil witch to save her.
01:31The moment Selina died, he forced her soul into my body.
01:36After that, Damon and Selina used my body to live as lovers.
01:41Arya.
01:42I'd zoned out.
01:44Arya.
01:44Damon called my name again.
01:49Damon, I'll wear it every single day.
01:55Arya, please take good care of it.
01:57I nodded, and made up some excuse to leave.
02:00Damon had gotten what he wanted.
02:02He didn't try to keep me even a moment longer.
02:06Back in the car, I tossed the necklace into the deepest pocket of my handbag.
02:11Then I made a phone call.
02:15Find me someone dying.
02:17Ugly.
02:18Body crawling with disease.
02:19So Damon and Selina wanted their happy ending.
02:22Status.
02:24Glory.
02:25Love.
02:26They weren't going to taste a single one of them.
02:34They weren't going to taste a single one of them.
02:34They weren't going to taste a single one of them.
02:37They weren't going to taste a single one of them.
02:41They weren't going to taste a single one of them.
02:46They weren't going to taste a single one of them.
02:48They weren't going to taste a single one of them.
02:49They weren't going to taste a single one of them.
02:49They weren't going to taste a single one of them.
02:50They weren't going to taste a single one of them.
02:50They weren't going to taste a single one of them.
03:0110 days, 10 days until the moment in my last life when my soul had been torn out and they
03:07had finally found me a suitable candidate when they brought the dying woman before me
03:12everyone in the room hesitated miss ashford we bought bionic out of one of those underground
03:16places the doctors say there's nothing to be done she's carrying all kinds of disease
03:20they'd combed the entire city she was the only fit the woman's face was caked with grime
03:26i sent everyone else out i crouched in front of her and told her exactly what i needed to do
03:32with her
03:32body i knew better than anyone what it felt like to have your soul stolen so i wasn't going to
03:38force
03:38anyone not even for the kind of money that would have set her family up for generations after you're
03:45done with this body can you burn it to ash
03:52that way my parents can't sell my body when i'm gone just like they sold me to that place underground
03:58i want them in hell i understood her instantly do you want revenge can i

04:13do

04:23i left the necklace beside bianca and had her settled into comfort this time i wanted to watch
04:31when selena came back in a body rotting at the seams would damon still love her then
05:18i had to go back to her we forced her to do the fillers machine to think what i used
05:19to do
05:19and tell me about the help of her and my son and my son was reagers
05:41Getting Bianca settled took longer than I planned.
05:44It was late by the time I made it home.
05:47I ran straight into Kieran in the entry hall.
05:50He'd only just gotten it himself, his coat still on, keys in his hand.
05:54His face darkened the moment he saw me.
05:56Coming home this late, aren't you afraid of running into trouble out there?
06:00I'd grown up at Kieran's side, but he wasn't my blood.
06:02He had come to us at twelve, after a fire took everyone he had.
06:06My parents took him in and raised him as their own.
06:08He was cold on the outside, warmer underneath, severe with himself in a way he never was with me.
06:13But hearing those familiar words again, after everything, the tears came before anything else.
06:19Don't cry.
06:20I just don't want you getting hurt out there.
06:23With my face buried in his shirt, I didn't see what was in his eyes.
06:27The deep tenderness he was no longer fast enough to hide.
06:30By the time I pulled back to wipe my eyes, his expression had reset.
06:34I know.
06:36My parents had drifted in from the front room at some point, seeing me in tears.
06:40They assumed Kieran was the cause and were about to scold him when I threw myself into their arms.
06:45In this life, I was a daughter who had been away from her parents for too long.
06:49I had missed them so badly, I didn't tell them what had happened.
06:52I knew my father.
06:53The moment he found out, he would have dragged Damon out and shoot him dead.
06:57But I didn't want Damon to die that easily.
07:00Across the room, Kieran was watching me very quietly.
07:03The kind of look that didn't belong on a brother.
07:06The kind that belonged to a man watching the woman he loved.
07:09Then it was gone.
07:10So quickly, I thought I'd imagined it.
08:04A few days passed like that.
08:06The day had come.
08:07The same day my soul was stolen from me in my last life.
08:10I feigned collapse.
08:11At exactly the same time, Selena died.
08:14After a full day and night of feigned unconsciousness, I slowly came to.
08:18Damon was at my bedside, his hand already holding mine.
08:21Arya, how are you feeling?
08:23Are you feeling any better?
08:25His eyes were full of hope, threaded with nerves.
08:28My father, my mother, Kieran.
08:30All of them stood gathered around the bed.
08:32Kieran was the one closest to the door, arms crossed.
08:35The line of his jaw set hard.
08:36He hadn't taken his eyes off Damon since I'd opened mine.
08:39He hadn't taken his eyes off the hand wrapped around my fingers.
08:42Either, something kept catching me off guard.
08:45He wasn't quite the Kieran I'd carried in my head.
08:47In my last life, I must have missed something.
08:49My parents only took Damon for a man genuinely worried about his fiancée.
08:53They didn't hold his overreach against him.
08:56I stared at Damon without a word.
08:58His brow knit slightly.
08:59What is it?
09:01Why aren't you saying anything?
09:02I looked up at him.
09:04I want to eat strawberry cake.
09:07Damon's pupils contracted sharply.
09:09Don't you hate strawberries the most?
09:10The hand Damon was holding mine with began to tremble.
09:13You've remembered it wrong.
09:15Strawberry has always been my favorite.
09:17Selena is the one who hates strawberries the most.
09:20At that exact moment, a filthy, disheveled woman burst through the door.
09:24Damon, I'm back.
09:25But what is this?
09:26Why have I turned into this?
09:51Is thisей shapes how dark is this?
09:55It doesn't mean that it didn't think that it's in here.
09:55I said, no one who hates possiamo.
09:58If that is第三 face it should do so.
10:00I didn't think it should have between us and anyone who by the way.
10:00Because peopleужed feel like I could put in nowhere.
10:07Or we just walked into thisbar.
10:07It's how we went, in my life, like,
10:12you said, to hahuy,
10:15I was talking to the ponto where I could just get out.
10:15This is the dream of a tremendous improvement.
10:15has actually been something.
10:15And an individual for a impressive one.
10:19.
10:49.
11:19.
11:49.
12:19.
12:51.
13:07Damon's face went white. He saw the state Selena was in. And for one unguarded moment, something soft crossed his
13:14eyes. He was already reaching for her when his bodyguard rushed up.
13:17Mr. Voss, she looks filthy. She's clearly sick. You don't want to catch anything.
13:20The man's voice carried. Every person in the room heard it. I saw a flash of disgust flicker through Damon's
13:26eyes. His outstretched hand hung in midair. Then he pulled it back. Smoothly, without a word. He shifted half a
13:32step backward.
13:33Selena felt it. She started screaming.
13:36You're disgusted by me. You are, aren't you?
13:40Damon, it's me! It's Selena! You're Selena! No! I should be a daughter of the Ashford family! I'm Aria Ashford!
13:48Damon's jaw tightened.
13:49Get this Luna took out of here. Now!
13:52He snapped at the bodyguard. Selena stared at him like she couldn't process what she was seeing. But before she
13:59could say another word, the bodyguard had already dragged her away. Damon turned to me.
14:03Damon turned to me.
14:05Damon turned to me.
14:33Damon turned to me.
14:33Damon turned to me.
14:33Damon turned to me.
14:35Damon turned to me.
14:40Damon turned to me.
14:46Damon turned to me.
14:48Damon turned to me.
14:48Damon turned to me.
14:49Damon turned to me.
14:50Damon turned to me.
14:50Damon turned to me.
14:50Damon turned to me.
14:50Damon turned to me.
14:50Damon turned to me.
14:51Damon turned to me.
14:52Damon turned to me.
14:56Damon turned to me.
14:59Damon turned to me.
15:01Damon turned to me.
15:05you i reached under my pillow and pulled out a chain wait is this god i grabbed the wrong one
15:15this is the one karen gave me i pressed my face into a look of pure guilt it was nearly
15:21identical
15:21to the one daemon had given me the only difference was a slightly paler stone daemon was staring at
15:27the necklace in my hand like he wanted to burn a hole straight through it daemon i forgot to mention
15:33kian had given me a nearly identical necklace a while back
15:38the day you gave me yours i ran into a homeless woman on the way home so i gave her
15:42kians to
15:43sell for money i was tired i must have mixed them up i'm sorry the moment he understood
15:47daemon's expression curdled aria how could you just hand away something that valuable
15:54i lowered my eyes and let my voice go soft it just hit me that woman who burst in is
16:01the one i gave it
16:30too
16:32just a necklace you're more upset about the necklace than about aria daemon do you actually
16:36love her kieran had stepped in he came around to my side of the bed and didn't sit he stood
16:41between me and daemon one hand braced on the headboard above my pillow the line of him was a
16:46wall daemon backpedaled immediately that necklace has been in my family for generations i was only
16:53worried if it's a family urn loom i'll have someone track down that woman and retrieve it aria is tired
16:58you should go kieran cut him off cleanly and showed him the door whatever daemon felt about it he had
17:04no choice but to bow and take his leave after he was gone kieran didn't move for a moment then
17:09he
17:09turned finally and sat down on the edge of my bed closer than he usually let himself sit
17:21what exactly are you doing he was right to ask he had never given me any necklace the one i
17:28just
17:29shown daemon was a copy i'd had it made to match his then borrowed kieran's name for it
17:36i told him everything every piece of daemon's plan laid out start to finish
17:44kieran went very still his fist closed until his knuckles cracked daemon vos has gone too far
17:51don't be afraid area i'll pull every vos contract today
17:57anyone who keeps working with him is against us i grabbed his sleeve but isn't that too easy for him
18:06kieran let me handle this he used dark magic on me i want him to pay it back
18:16personally in full in full with his own hands and his own body
19:03he used dark magic on me he used dark magic on me and i'ma as a man a man she
19:04brought his
19:04this was a walker it was midnight and he used dark magic on me and he used dark magic on
19:05me but i
19:05.
19:35.
20:05.
20:36.
20:40Kieran held my gaze for a long moment.
20:42Then, very slowly, he covered my hand with his.
20:47His palm was warm, steadier than I'd expected.
20:51His thumb moved across the back of my hand.
20:54Whatever you need, I'll do it.
20:57I let him pretend it hadn't happened.
21:00For now, I walked him through the entire plan,
21:03asked him to keep it from our parents for now.
21:07To avoid suspicion, Kieran even sank a hundred million into Vos.
21:12Penance for losing the necklace.
21:14That was how the world read it.
21:17Everyone said Aria, Ashford was hopelessly devoted to Damon Vos.
21:21Everyone said even the Ashford family had a soft spot for him.
21:25Damon soaked up the false craze.
21:28Meanwhile, he was quietly tearing the city apart to find that homeless woman.
21:33She was, after all.
21:34The woman he loved.
21:36Word came from the people I'd sent to keep an eye on Selena.
21:39After Selena woke up inside Bianca's body, she refused to accept it.
21:54Kieran held my gaze for a long moment.
21:56Then, very slowly.
22:17She said that she was getting bullied for her.
22:19And the dog knew it wasn't her.
22:19And she was getting bullied for her.
22:20And he said, I'm trying to get bullied for her.
22:24And I've had no idea when her husband was going to get bullied for her.
22:24And she said, she can't do it.
22:24And she said, she'll get bullied for her.
22:25And I didn't get bullied for her.
22:28I was at that stage in my day.
22:28So she drove over there.
22:28And she saw that when she came out.
22:28And I looked after her.
22:28And she said she'd enough,
22:39I had to never see her.
22:39But we took an opportunity for her.
22:39.
23:25I'm Arya! I'm Arya Ashford! No, I'm Selina, the daughter of a wealthy merchant!
23:34She was out of her mind trying to find Daemon, telling anyone who'd listen that she was the true soulmate
23:40of the boss heir.
23:42I knew Selina wouldn't survive long in that body. The soul stone wasn't foolproof. It could swap souls.
23:49But if the original soul was strong enough, there was still a chance it could claw its way back into
23:53its own body.
23:54In my last life, to make sure I could never return, Daemon had paid the witch a second fortune.
24:01She cast a binding with me. Something meant to keep my soul locked out.
24:05But my will was too strong. Selina couldn't hold against it.
24:09In the end, she was the one who paid the price. She only lasted a few years. Then she died.
24:17This time around, Bianca had already wanted to leave this world long before any of this.
24:23Her soul had probably found its peace long ago.
24:26Selina trapped in a body that was already breaking down. She wouldn't last long either.
24:31I read through the report my people had delivered. Then I dropped it into the fire. If they're truly soulmates,
24:37how could I stand in the way?
24:39I had Daemon's movements fed quietly to Selina. The next day, the boss heir was caught in public with a
24:44homeless woman. The story was all over the city by nightfall.
24:54That morning, I was in my car, parked early on the street. Daemon would have to pass. It didn't take
24:59long.
25:00Selina appeared at the far end of the road filthy, hair matted. She launched herself at Daemon the moment she
25:05spotted him, sobbing and grabbing at his coat.
25:08I finally found you! Why have you been hiding from me?
25:12Daemon startled back. The smell hit him, and he couldn't quite control the nausea that crossed his face. Still, he
25:18caught her by the arm.
25:19Calm down. Come with me. Quietly.
25:24People were stopping around them.
25:26Where did she come from? The smell alone.
25:30That hair. And whatever that is on her face.
25:34The boss heir? How did he get mixed up with someone like that?
25:38Selina's fingers dug into his sleeve and wouldn't let go. She was crying harder now.
25:43You're my lover. You can't leave me. You're all I have left.
25:48Daemon tried to shake her hand free. A few people had their phones out, filming without trying to hide it.
25:53She held on like it was the only thing keeping her from drowning. He bent toward her, voice low, face
25:59strained with the effort of staying controlled.
26:01Let go. Let go. Let go.
26:03Let go so you can keep avoiding me? Daemon, pause! You liar!
26:10Before anything else could happen, a man shoved through the crowd.
26:17He backhanded her across the face.
26:25Then the others were on her too, kicking, hitting.
26:29I paid good money for you from your own parents. You think you can just run?
26:52Then the other...
26:58Daemon couldn't watch. He ordered them to stop.
27:01Stop it!
27:06I'd seen enough.
27:07I stepped out of the car and arranged my face into pleasant surprise.
27:14I walked up to Damon.
27:23Damon?
27:24What are you doing here?
27:26He hadn't expected me.
27:28The panic behind his eyes was brief.
27:34I was just passing through.
27:36He wanted me gone.
27:37Saw those men going after her, couldn't let it stand.
27:40Let my gaze drift down to Selina.
27:42She was on the ground, staring up at me with eyes threaded red.
27:46It's you! You took everything from me!
27:49You took everything from me! My whole life! You stole it!
27:53I'm Area Ashford! I'm the Ashford heir!
27:58Damon stood there and listened to every word of it.
28:00He'd clearly spent a great deal of time painting Selina pictures of everything she stood to gain.
28:05Poor thing. She's completely unhinged. Someone should take her to a hospital.
28:10He'd fed her fantasy until it became an obsession.
28:15Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Let's go.
28:30Like, anyway.
28:31.
29:23Back home, I had the whole scene distributed everywhere it needed to go.
29:27.
29:31Rumor had it Selena went straight to the Voss estate.
29:34Damon Vox, you liar! Open the door!
29:39.
29:39Screaming that Damon had promised her everything.
29:43Damon had her bound and removed.
29:47He told anyone who asked that he'd never met her.
29:50That it was all slander, but the image of the Voss heir tangled up with a mystery woman
29:54on a public street was already too real to undo.
29:59The story ran on every major outlet within days.
30:02My parents were furious.
30:04They made noise about pulling our partnership with the Voss family.
30:09Out of options, Damon came to me.
30:12Aria, I don't care what anyone else thinks, but you have to believe me.
30:17He was right that he'd lost Selena for good.
30:19There was no going back to her.
30:21Now the only path forward was standing at my side.
30:24I stepped out of reach when he moved closer.
30:27Everyone's saying you don't love me?
30:30That you've been in love with someone else this whole time?
30:36I'm choosing to believe you anyway, so prove it.
30:45I will.
30:46I said it like a vow, then left.
30:48I needed to push him to the edge.
30:50I needed to see which he'd choose.
30:53The woman he loved, or everything he'd built.
31:27The answer came quickly.
31:29Damon sent someone to kill Selena.
31:31These past weeks, Selena had been surviving in Bianca's deteriorating body.
31:37Enduring humiliation without end.
31:39And now someone had been sent to finish her off.
31:44I saved her life.
31:46The man you gave up everything for put you in this body.
31:51And now he wants you dead.
31:55And I made sure she was there to hear the killer say Damon's name.
32:06I looked at her.
32:08She's going to go on to great things.
32:11And you are completely ruined.
32:15Selena broke.
32:16Are you going to let that stand?
32:18Ugly, heaving sobs.
32:21She was shaking so hard she could barely stay upright.
32:24I won't let him get away with this, I won't.
32:27Good.
32:28That was exactly what I needed.
32:31I had Selena hidden and sent Damon word that she was dead.
32:35His birthday was coming up.
32:37I had a gift in mind.
33:00What was going on in the middle of the morning when he was cold?
33:05He didn't hear her.
33:06She was like the one day when he was mixed.
33:07Believe that being me and friends.
33:13If anyone was sick, you would understand her.
33:13Meanwhile when he were alive.
33:19But Noah was has a child that she died so badly.
33:19Do you think that's the Villanova?
33:30You
33:38Damon had been trying to see me for days. I turned him away every time
33:43He was getting desperate
33:45Aria, are you at home?
33:52I spread word that I was begging my father to keep working with the Voss family
34:01Meanwhile, Kieran extended a formal invitation, a gathering at the Ashford estate on the night of Damon's birthday
34:08The city took it as a public endorsement, the Ashford's blessing Damon Voss in front of everyone
34:15Damon relaxed. He walked in that evening like a man who'd already won, chin up, smile easy
34:22Peacock fanning out his tail
34:24Aria, you really shouldn't have all this for me
34:28I raised a glass
34:29Of course we should
34:31Across the room, Kieran was watching from beside the window
34:36When Damon's hands settled at the small of my back possessively, for the benefit of every photographer in the room
34:43The line of Kieran's shoulders went so tight I could see it from across the floor
34:49He looked away, the night moved on
34:52Conversation flowed
34:54Damon was swallowed up by the crown, buried under waves of congratulations
34:58Take the power están engin端
35:01He had no idea what was waiting for him
35:04I can't
35:04We have no idea what was waiting for him
35:20You can't
35:28.
35:58.
36:43In a quiet corner, unnoticed, a woman in a server's uniform was slowly working her way closer.
36:48The room was deep in pleasantries when she moved.
36:51She drew a letter opener from somewhere inside her uniform, and drove it straight toward a critical point on his
36:58body.
36:58The crowd that had pressed around Damon seconds ago lurched backward all at once.
37:03He tried to fight back and found that he couldn't. His limbs had nothing in them.
37:06He crumpled, writhing across the floor. The blood spread out beneath him.
37:12Something had been in the drink I'd toasted him with.
37:16The woman was Selena. I had arranged everything. She kept going. Past exhaustion. Past reason.
37:22You wanted me dead? Then you go first.
37:26When her arm finally gave out, she dropped the letter opener and raised her hand in a slow, deliberate gesture.
37:32My bodyguard materialized unhurriedly, and they restrained her.
37:35By then, the hem of Damon's deep navy suit was black with blood. He twisted his head toward me.
37:40Help me. Please.
37:42I leaned down and looked at him. Then I laughed. Just once. Soft and quiet.
37:47I turned the cracked, curse, riddled pendant over in my fingers. Easy as anything.
38:03In a quiet corner, unnoticed, a woman in a server's uniform was slowly working her way closer.
38:08The room was deep in pleasantries when she moved.
38:11She drew a letter opener from somewhere inside her uniform, and drove it straight toward a critical point on his
38:17body.
38:18The crowd that had pressed around Damon seconds ago lurched backward all at once.
38:22He tried to fight back and found that he couldn't.
38:55I cleared the room and brought my parents in.
38:58Kieran too.
39:01Damon's parents arrived on their heels, having heard the commotion.
39:06They fell apart on the spot and begged my father to investigate.
39:10Damon was dragged back from unconsciousness.
39:13I had spoken to the doctor privately beforehand. No painkillers.
39:17He was still fighting to hold himself together when he opened his mouth.
39:21This is Selena's fault. That woman is poison.
39:25Aria, you have to believe me.
39:27Selena said nothing in her own defense. She just smiled.
39:30There was something bloody in it.
39:32As they dragged her out, she was still screaming.
39:35Damon! I love you!
39:38I'll find you in the next life!
39:41My parents looked on completely lost.
39:44Kieran and I exchanged a glance.
39:46We had the witch brought in.
39:47She was barely past 40.
39:49She was bent like something had been pressing down on her spine for years.
39:52But her hair had gone entirely white.
39:54Her expression was strangely calm.
39:56The Vos family saved my life once.
39:58I repaid that debt. I have no regrets.
40:02I took the cracked pendant and dropped it at Damon's feet.
40:05Like throwing out trash.
40:09Your life debt.
40:12Why did I have to be the one to pay it?
40:42All those long, rootless years, I had spent adrift as a ghost.
40:46All because of a debt that had nothing to do with me.
40:50Something seized inside my chest.
40:52Scalding. Violent. Unbearable. I was done.
40:55I pulled the gun from my bodyguard's holster and put a bullet through the witch's chest.
41:00Only when her body hit the floor did I feel like I could breathe again.
41:04The Vos family huddled together at the edge of the room, pale and silent.
41:08My parents watched me with open worry.
41:10Kieran came to stand beside me.
41:12He didn't reach for the gun. He didn't reach for my arm.
41:14He just stepped in close close enough that his body was almost pressed to mine and stayed there.
41:19Don't worry. It's over.
41:22No one is going to hurt you again.
41:30I turned my head and looked at him.
41:32In the lamplight, his face was very still.
41:36Something in his eyes was not.
41:38It wasn't a brother's look.
41:40I let the gun go.
41:42He took it from my fingers and slipped it into his jacket.
41:45Then he walked to my parents with me.
41:47I told them everything.
41:49Every detail of Damon's scheme.
41:51Everything that had been done to me in my last life.
41:54From the beginning to the end.
41:56My mother pulled me into her arms and held on, crying too hard to speak.
42:00My father was quiet for a long time.
42:02Then he gave the order.
42:03Vos family was to be expelled from the city by Sunday.
42:06Anyone who continued to do business with them was an enemy of the Ashfords.
42:10Kieran, who had always been the composed one, handled Damon personally.
42:14He crossed the room, hauled him up off the floor, and started hitting him.
42:19He didn't stop for a long time.
42:21By the end, Damon's face was beyond recognition.
42:24When Kieran finally stepped back, his knuckles were split open.
42:28His shirt cuffs ruined.
42:29He didn't look at the body on the floor.
42:31He looked at me.
42:32I held his eyes and didn't look away.
42:40I turned my head and looked at him.
42:43In the lamplight, his face was very still.
42:46Something in his eyes was not.
42:48It wasn't a brother's look.
42:50I let the gun go.
42:52He took it from my fingers and slipped it into his jacket.
42:55Then he walked to my parents with me.
42:58I told them everything.
42:59Every detail.
43:13I could go on like one.
43:13To come to him kontenSoft in the colors where I use this one.
43:16Theyètres him in the dåp.
43:25He's a connection that comes with me.
43:25Just a little bit, just a little bit.
43:26Seek the arms 코 one até his ACL.
43:26He points her, the hell out there,
43:31who He walked in there
43:34from the West there,
43:34.
44:04.
44:34.
45:04.
45:04.
45:05.
45:05.
45:05.
45:12.
45:12.
45:13.
45:24I didn't have them killed right away.
45:26I had Damon and Selena locked in the same basement cell.
45:29Selena was dying.
45:30Damon was permanently broken.
45:32Every day I had them punished, carefully.
45:34You ruined me.
45:36You ruined me first.
45:37I should have let you die back then.
45:40And I should have never loved you.
45:43Six months later, Selena died.
45:45Her eyes were wide open, fixed on Damon to the last.
45:48When I visited the cell, he was covered in dried blood.
45:51He didn't know who I was anymore.
45:53They told me he'd been left in that room with Selena's body for a full night.
45:57By the next day, he'd started laughing and crying with no reason, talking to nothing.
46:01It turned my stomach.
46:03I am the Vos heir.
46:04I control everything.
46:06I have a beautiful marriage.
46:09My wife adores me.
46:11He owed this debt down to the last cent, and he was going to pay every single bit of it.
46:27The day Bianca's body was cremated, a household on the outskirts of the city vanished without a trace.
46:33No one knew where they'd gone.
46:36Only my people knew.
46:38I had the couple taken to an empty room outside the crematorium.
46:41They went to their knees on the cold concrete floor.
46:44The man babbled prayers and apologies.
46:47The woman stared at nothing.
46:49Co-opt.
46:50Again, one of my people took a step forward.
46:52They dropped their heads to the ground.
46:54A dull, heavy sound.
46:56I stood to the side and gave the order, over and over, in a voice as flat as counting.
47:01These were Bianca's parents.
47:03They had sold her.
47:04Destroyed everything she was.
47:06And then, when she was dead, they had planned to sell her body to a sorcerer.
47:11One last profit squeezed from what remained of her.
47:14Bianca had told me she wanted them in hell.
47:16I couldn't do that for her.
47:17But I could make sure they lived out every last bit of suffering they had coming before they got there.
47:22Every person who had broken her.
47:24I kept them here.
47:26In this world.
47:27Accountable.
47:28From now on, every year on Bianca's death anniversary, I would come to this room and watch.
47:34Watch you kneel.
47:36Until the day they couldn't get back up.
47:54I came home to find Kieran waiting in the study.
47:57Sleeves rolled up, knuckles scabbed and unbandaged.
48:00He slid a cup of tea across the desk without a word.
48:03We sat like that for a while.
48:05Are you hurting?
48:07Not entirely.
48:09There are too many people in this world who've been wronged.
48:12I couldn't save Bianca.
48:13Then save a few more.
48:15His expression didn't waver.
48:16Give yourself permission.
48:18I smiled.
48:19The silence stretched.
48:21He was sitting very still.
48:23You've been holding your breath since I came home.
48:25Years before any of this.
48:27The night I introduced you to Damon.
48:30The engagement dinner.
48:31Now.
48:34His hand on the desk closed slowly.
48:37Don't, Arya.
48:39Don't what?
48:40Don't push at this.
48:42Please.
48:42I had spent my whole last life on the wrong man.
48:45Half of this one on revenge.
48:47I looked at him now.
48:48The way his hair fell.
48:50The shadow at his throat.
48:51The hands he was keeping very carefully flat against the wood.
48:55I got up and walked around the desk.
48:57He didn't move.
48:59Didn't lift his head.
49:00Kieran.
49:13I came home to find Kieran waiting in the study.
49:16Sleeves rolled up.
49:17Knuckles scabbed and unbandaged.
49:18He slid a cup of tea across the desk without a word.
49:21We sat like that for a while.
49:23Are you hurting?
49:25Not entirely.
49:27There are too many people in this world who've been wronged.
49:30I couldn't save Bianca.
49:32Then save a few more.
49:33His expression didn't waver.
49:35Give yourself permission.
49:36I smiled.
49:38The silence stretched.
49:39He was sitting very still.
49:41You've been holding your breath since I came home.
49:44Years before any of this.
49:46The night I introduced you to Damon.
49:48The engagement dinner.
49:50Now.
49:52His hand on the desk closed slowly.
49:55Don't, Arya.
49:57Don't what?
49:59Don't push at this.
50:00Please.
50:01I had spent my whole last life on the wrong man.
50:04Half of this one on revenge.
50:06I looked at him now.
50:07The way his hair fell.
50:09The shadow at his throat.
50:10The hands he was keeping very carefully flat against the wood.
50:13I got up and walked around the desk.
50:15He didn't move.
50:17Didn't lift his head.
50:19Kieran.
50:24I came home to find Kieran waiting in the study.
50:27Sleeves rolled up.
50:28Knuckles scabbed and unbandaged.
50:30He said.
