00:00:00I paid a fortune to wipe my memory clean.
00:00:03I forgot the fiancé who forged me from a street kid into a blade.
00:00:07I forgot the girl I once saved off a trafficking line,
00:00:09who then stole everything I had.
00:00:11I only remembered life before eighteen.
00:00:14Rainy nights, the orphanage, the bitter taste of cheap coffee,
00:00:19and one old poetry book, swollen from water.
00:00:22Three years later, I ran a used bookshop in Palermo.
00:00:25That dusk, the shop was empty.
00:00:28The bell over the door suddenly rang.
00:00:30Three men in black suits stepped out of the shadows.
00:00:33The lead one peeled off his leather gloves.
00:00:36His voice was low.
00:00:37Nightshade, why did you never answer the Don's recall?
00:00:41I stopped sliding a book back onto the shelf.
00:00:45Sorry, you have the wrong person.
00:00:49He took a step closer.
00:00:53Luca Moretti drowned the whole commission in blood for you.
00:00:58And you don't even give one explanation?
00:01:02The shop went so quiet I could hear a motorbike pass the corner.
00:01:06I looked at him.
00:01:07My chest ached for no reason.
00:01:10I had a memory override once.
00:01:12I kept my voice polite.
00:01:14Who is this Luca Moretti you're talking about?
00:01:17All three men froze at once.
00:01:20I followed their eyes to the other side of the street.
00:01:24A man stood in the dusk.
00:01:26Black coat.
00:01:27Tall.
00:01:28Lean.
00:01:30I didn't know him.
00:01:32But he looked at me like I had once killed him with my own hands.
00:01:37Later I learned his name was Luca Moretti.
00:01:42He was once my fiancé.
00:01:45He was also the man who drove me onto that operating table.
00:01:49It all began at dawn, on the day of our wedding.
00:01:52That night the terrace of Villa Moretti was still lit.
00:01:56White roses filled the small chapel.
00:01:58Everyone was waiting for me to become Mrs. Moretti.
00:02:01But I couldn't find Luca.
00:02:03I went around the long hall and pushed open the terrace door.
00:02:06And I saw him holding Mia Belliani in his arms.
00:02:09She rose on her toes and kissed his lips.
00:02:13I didn't cry.
00:02:14I didn't scream.
00:02:15I was Nightshade.
00:02:17Red Lily's sharpest cleaner.
00:02:20Before my emotions broke.
00:02:22My body moved first.
00:02:24I struck for Luca's throat.
00:02:25My fingertips stopped on his artery.
00:02:28Mia screamed and threw herself at me.
00:02:30Bellalina don't hurt him!
00:02:32The next second, she shoved me into the pool.
00:02:36My head hit the wall.
00:02:38Cold water flooded my mouth.
00:02:40I opened my eyes underwater and almost laughed.
00:02:43Five years ago, I pulled Mia off a trafficking line.
00:02:46She was 15 then, thin as a sheet of paper.
00:02:50I taught her to read codes.
00:02:51I taught her to clean ledgers.
00:02:53She would make hot soup for the men after a job.
00:02:56She would say thank you in a trembling voice.
00:02:59Those blood-soaked men did no time.
00:03:02They said Red Lily finally had a real woman in it.
00:03:05When they said that, I was in the corner stitching a knife wound on my arm.
00:03:11Back then, Luca would frown, walk over, and take the needle from me.
00:03:15You're always harder on yourself than on the enemy.
00:03:18He tied the knot.
00:03:20I laughed at his shaking hands.
00:03:22Clumsy for a man who could strip a gun in three seconds.
00:03:26I believed that line.
00:03:28For ten years, we dodged hunters in the jungle.
00:03:33We emptied our magazines back-to-back in warehouses.
00:03:37We dragged each other out of blood at the docks.
00:03:40The first time I took the fall for him, I was locked for three days in the black site.
00:03:44He knelt outside the cell, eyes red enough to kill everyone.
00:03:47He said that for the rest of his life, he would never betray me.
00:03:50But a vow doesn't break in a single moment.
00:03:53It rots slowly from the first time someone starts playing favorites.
00:03:57I woke in the medical wing.
00:03:59I thought he would at least ask if it hurt.
00:04:02But when he spoke, his voice held only a tired warning.
00:04:06Mia was just scared.
00:04:09Don't use your night sheep methods on her.
00:04:12I looked at the old scar below his collarbone.
00:04:15Ten years ago, that bullet should have gone through my heart.
00:04:19You're afraid I'll deal with her in private?
00:04:24Red Lily forbids infighting.
00:04:26The wedding moves to next week.
00:04:28This ends here.
00:04:30The encrypt device by the bed bugged.
00:04:32Mia's name flashed on the screen.
00:04:34Luca glanced at it once.
00:04:35His brow tightened.
00:04:36She's having a panic attack.
00:04:38I'll go check on her.
00:04:39Luca.
00:04:40He stopped at the door.
00:04:41I asked him calmly.
00:04:44If it were her in the water tonight, would you also tell me it ends here?
00:04:47He didn't turn around.
00:04:49You're stronger than her.
00:04:51Don't waste my time on this.
00:04:53The door closed softly, but it was a nail pinning ten years of love to the bedside.
00:04:58My private terminal lit up with a black market ad.
00:05:03Phynex Protocol.
00:05:05Rebuild your identity.
00:05:07Seal your trauma.
00:05:09I stared at that line for a long time.
00:05:11A tainted blade can be reforged.
00:05:13But a tainted love is not worth polishing.
00:05:16I booked my first neural overwrite.
00:05:19After the first overrode, my mind felt rinsed in ice water.
00:05:23Many memories remained, but they were locked behind an invisible door.
00:05:26I knew I had been hurt, but I couldn't grasp the shape of the pain.
00:05:30The doctor told me that once the final overhaul was done,
00:05:32I would lose every emotional tie to red lily that had formed after I came of age.
00:05:38I signed the consent form.
00:05:41What if I regret it?
00:05:43The doctor didn't look up.
00:05:45Once you enter the final opera round, the regret gets overwrought too.
00:05:50I smiled.
00:05:53Good.
00:05:55When I got back to the safe house, a celebration was underway.
00:06:00Mia sat in the center, holding a diamond-set tactical watch.
00:06:04Lana Creechie saw me and rushed over.
00:06:06Nightshade.
00:06:07Mia gave us key intel on the Balkan contract.
00:06:11The dawn praised her himself.
00:06:13She pushed the gift box into my hands.
00:06:15You brought her into the family.
00:06:16It's only right that you give it to her.
00:06:17I walked to Mia and held out the box.
00:06:19She reached for it.
00:06:20The instant our fingers touched, the box dropped.
00:06:23The sapphire face shattered like a crushed eye.
00:06:26Mia's tears fell at once.
00:06:29Valentina, I know you'd hate me, but this is from everyone.
00:06:34Someone whispered.
00:06:35She went too far.
00:06:36A maid woman fighting a young girl over a man.
00:06:39Luca rose from the fireplace.
00:06:41He came over, picked up the broken watch, and pressed it back into my palm.
00:06:50Apologize.
00:06:51I looked at him.
00:06:53You saw me drop it?
00:06:55I saw her cry.
00:06:56That line cut deeper than any blade.
00:06:58I set the broken watch on the table.
00:07:02Then keep watching her cry.
00:07:04Mia's sobbing paused.
00:07:06Then she lunged and wrapped herself around my legs.
00:07:08Sister, don't send me away.
00:07:10Those men out there will eat me alive.
00:07:11Her nails dug deep into my ankle.
00:07:14I stepped back on instinct.
00:07:15My knee gave a slight push.
00:07:17But Mia screamed and fell, her left hand bending at an unnatural angle.
00:07:21Luca shoved me aside and scooped her up.
00:07:24I hit the corner of the table.
00:07:25A dull pain spread through my side.
00:07:28You have disappointed me.
00:07:29I braced myself against the table and didn't look at anyone.
00:07:33Luca.
00:07:34I apply to leave Red Lily.
00:07:36The whole safe house went silent.
00:07:40Luca sneered.
00:07:41How many days do you think you'd survive outside the family?
00:07:47I paid a fortune to wipe my memory clean.
00:07:50I forgot the fiancé who forged me from a street kid into a blade.
00:07:53I forgot the girl I once saved off a trafficking line, who then stole everything I had.
00:07:58I only remembered life before eighteen.
00:08:01Rainy nights.
00:08:02The orphanage.

00:18:30She would say thank you in a trembling voice.
00:18:33Those blood-soaked men did no time.
00:18:35They said Red Lily finally had a real woman in it.
00:18:39When they said that, I was in the corner stitching a knife wound on my arm.
00:18:45Back then, Luca would frown, walk over, and take the needle from me.
00:18:49You're always harder on yourself than on the enemy.
00:18:52He tied the knot.
00:18:54I laughed at his shaking hands.
00:18:56Clumsy for a man who could strip a gun in three seconds.
00:19:00I believed that line.
00:19:02For ten years, we dodged hunters in the jungle.
00:19:07We emptied our magazines back-to-back in warehouses.
00:19:11We dragged each other out of blood at the docks.
00:19:14The first time I took the fall for him, I was locked for three days in the black site.
00:19:17He knelt outside the cell, eyes red enough to kill everyone.
00:19:20He said that for the rest of his life, he would never betray me.
00:19:24But a vow doesn't break in a single moment.
00:19:27It rots slowly from the first time someone starts playing favorites.
00:19:31I woke in the medical wing.
00:19:32I thought he would at least ask if it hurt.
00:19:36But when he spoke, his voice held only a tired warning.
00:19:40Mia was just scared.
00:19:42Don't use your night sheep methods on her.
00:19:45I looked at the old scar below his collarbone.
00:19:49Ten years ago, that bullet should have gone through my heart.
00:19:53You're afraid I'll deal with her in private?
00:19:58Red Lily forbids infighting.
00:20:00The wedding moves to next week.
00:20:02This ends here.
00:20:03The encrypt device by the bed bugged.
00:20:05Mia's name flashed on the screen.
00:20:07Luca glanced at it once.
00:20:09His brow tightened.
00:20:10She's having a panic attack.
00:20:11I'll go check on her.
00:20:13Luca.
00:20:13He stopped at the door.
00:20:15I asked him calmly.
00:20:17If it were her in the water tonight, would you also tell me it ends here?
00:20:21He didn't turn around.
00:20:23You're stronger than her.
00:20:25Don't waste my time on this.
00:20:26The door closed softly, but it was a nail pinning ten years of love to the bedside.
00:20:32My private terminal lit up with a black market ad.
00:20:36Phynex protocol.
00:20:38Rebuild your identity.
00:20:41Seal your trauma.
00:20:42I stared at that line for a long time.
00:20:45A tainted blade can be reforged.
00:20:47But a tainted love is not worth polishing.
00:20:50I booked my first neural overwrite.
00:20:53After the first overrode, my mind felt rinsed in ice water.
00:20:56Many memories remained, but they were locked behind an invisible door.
00:21:00I knew I had been hurt, but I couldn't grasp the shape of the pain.
00:21:03The doctor told me that once the final overhaul was done,
00:21:06I would lose every emotional tie to red lily that had formed after I came of age.
00:21:12I signed the consent form.
00:21:15What if I regret it?
00:21:17The doctor didn't look up.
00:21:19Once you enter the final opera round, the regret gets overwrought too.
00:21:24I smiled.
00:21:27Good.
00:21:29When I got back to the safe house, a celebration was underway.
00:21:33Mia sat in the center, holding a diamond-set tactical watch.
00:21:37Lana Creechie saw me and rushed over.
00:21:40Nightshade.
00:21:40Mia gave us key intel on the Balkan contract.
00:21:44The Don praised her himself.
00:21:46She pushed the gift box into my hands.
00:21:48You brought her into the family.
00:21:49It's only right that you give it to her.
00:21:51I walked to Mia and held out the box.
00:21:53She reached for it.
00:21:54The instant our fingers touched, the box dropped.
00:21:57The sapphire face shattered, like a crushed eye.
00:22:00Mia's tears fell at once.
00:22:02Valentina, I know you hate me, but this is from everyone.
00:22:08Someone whispered.
00:22:09She went too far.
00:22:10A maid woman, fighting a young girl over a man.
00:22:13Luca rose from the fireplace.
00:22:15He came over, picked up the broken watch, and pressed it back into my palm.
00:22:24Apologize.
00:22:25I looked at him.
00:22:27You saw me drop it?
00:22:28I saw her cry.
00:22:30That line cut deeper than any blade.
00:22:32I set the broken watch on the table.
00:22:36Then keep watching her cry.
00:22:38Mia's sobbing paused.
00:22:39Then she lunged and wrapped herself around my legs.
00:22:42Sister, don't send me away.
00:22:43Those men out there will eat me alive.
00:22:45Her nails dug deep into my ankle.
00:22:47I stepped back on instinct.
00:22:49My knee gave a slight push.
00:22:51But Mia screamed and fell, her left hand bending at an unnatural angle.
00:22:55Luca shoved me aside and scooped her up.
00:22:57I hit the corner of the table.
00:22:59A dull pain spread through my side.
00:23:02You have disappointed me.
00:23:03I braced myself against the table and didn't look at anyone.
00:23:06Luca.
00:23:08I apply to leave Red Liley.
00:23:10The whole safe house went silent.
00:23:13Luca sneered.
00:23:15How many days do you think you'd survive outside the family?
00:23:20I paid a fortune to wipe my memory clean.
00:23:23I forgot the fiancé who forged me from a street kid into a blade.
00:23:27I forgot the girl I once saved off a trafficking line,
00:23:30who then stole everything I had.
00:23:32I only remembered life before eighteen.
00:23:35Rainy nights.
00:23:36The orphanage.
00:23:37The bitter taste of cheap coffee.
00:23:39And one old poetry book, swollen from water.
00:23:42Three years later, I ran a used bookshop in Palermo.
00:23:46That dusk, the shop was empty.
00:23:48The bell over the door suddenly rang.
00:23:50Three men in black suits stepped out of the shadows.
00:23:54The lead one peeled off his leather gloves.
00:23:56His voice was low.
00:23:58Nightshade.
00:23:59Why did you never answer the Don's recall?
00:24:01I stopped sliding a book back onto the shelf.
00:24:05Sorry.
00:24:06You have the wrong person.
00:24:09He took a step closer.
00:24:14Luca Moretti drowned the whole commission in blood for you.
00:24:19And you don't even give one explanation?
00:24:23The shop went so quiet I could hear a motorbike pass the corner.
00:24:27I looked at him.
00:24:28My chest ached for no reason.
00:24:30I had a memory override once.
00:24:32I kept my voice polite.
00:24:35Who is this Luca Moretti you're talking about?
00:24:37All three men froze at once.
00:24:41I followed their eyes to the other side of the street.
00:24:44A man stood in the dusk.
00:24:46Black coat.
00:24:48Tall.
00:24:49Lean.
00:24:50I didn't know him.
00:24:52But he looked at me like I had once killed him with my own hands.
00:24:58Later I learned his name was Luca Moretti.
00:25:02He was once my fiancé.
00:25:05He was also the man who drove me onto that operating table.
00:25:09It all began at dawn, on the day of our wedding.
00:25:13That night the terrace of Villa Moretti was still lit.
00:25:16White roses filled the small chapel.
00:25:19Everyone was waiting for me to become Mrs. Moretti.
00:25:21But I couldn't find Luca.
00:25:23I went around the long hall and pushed open the terrace door.
00:25:26And I saw him holding Mia Belliani in his arms.
00:25:30She rose on her toes and kissed his lips.
00:25:33I didn't cry.
00:25:34I didn't scream.
00:25:36I was Nightshade.
00:25:37Red Lily's sharpest cleaner.
00:25:41Before my emotions broke, my body moved first.
00:25:44I struck for Luca's throat.
00:25:46My fingertips stopped on his artery.
00:25:48Mia screamed and threw herself at me.
00:25:50Bellalina, don't hurt him!
00:25:53The next second, she shoved me into the pool.
00:25:56My head hit the wall.
00:25:59Cold water flooded my mouth.
00:26:00I opened my eyes underwater and almost laughed.
00:26:04Five years ago, I pulled Mia off a trafficking line.
00:26:07She was 15 then, thin as a sheet of paper.
00:26:10I taught her to read codes.
00:26:12I taught her to clean ledgers.
00:26:14She would make hot soup for the men after a job.
00:26:17She would say thank you in a trembling voice.
00:26:20Those blood-soaked men did no time.

00:37:07Mia sat in the center, holding a diamond-set tactical watch.
00:37:11Lana Creechie saw me and rushed over.
00:37:13Nightshade.
00:37:14Mia gave us key intel on the Balkan contract.
00:37:18The Don praised her himself.
00:37:20She pushed the gift box into my hands.
00:37:22You brought her into the family.
00:37:23It's only right that you give it to her.
00:37:25I walked to Mia and held out the box.
00:37:27She reached for it.
00:37:28The instant our fingers touched, the box dropped.
00:37:31The sapphire face shattered like a crushed eye.
00:37:34Mia's tears fell at once.
00:37:36Valentina, I know you beat me, but this is from everyone.
00:37:41Someone whispered.
00:37:43She went too far.
00:37:44A maid woman, fighting a young girl over a man.
00:37:47Luca rose from the fireplace.
00:37:49He came over, picked up the broken watch, and pressed it back into my palm.
00:37:57Apologize.
00:37:59I looked at him.
00:38:01You saw me drop it?
00:38:02I saw her cry.
00:38:03That line cut deeper than any blade.
00:38:05I set the broken watch on the table.
00:38:10Then keep watching her cry.
00:38:12Mia's sobbing paused.
00:38:13Then she lunged and wrapped herself around my legs.
00:38:16Sister, don't send me away.
00:38:17Those men out there will eat me alive.
00:38:19Her nails dug deep into my ankle.
00:38:21I stepped back on instinct.
00:38:23My knee gave a slight push.
00:38:24But Mia screamed and fell, her left hand bending at an unnatural angle.
00:38:28Luca shoved me aside and scooped her up.
00:38:31I hit the corner of the table.
00:38:33A dull pain spread through my side.
00:38:35You have disappointed me.
00:38:37I braced myself against the table and didn't look at anyone.
00:38:40Luca.
00:38:41I applied to leave Red Lylee.
00:38:43The whole safe house went silent.
00:38:47Luca sneered.
00:38:49How many days do you think you'd survive outside the family?
00:38:54I paid a fortune to wipe my memory clean.
00:38:57I forgot the fiancé who forged me from a street kid into a blade.
00:39:01I forgot the girl I once saved off a trafficking line, who then stole everything I had.
00:39:06I only remembered life before eighteen.
00:39:08Rainy nights.
00:39:09The orphanage.
00:39:10The bitter taste of cheap coffee.
00:39:13And one old poetry book.
00:39:15Swollen from water.
00:39:16Three years later, I ran a used bookshop in Polemo.
00:39:19That dusk, the shop was empty.
00:39:22The bell over the door suddenly rang.
00:39:25Three men in black suits stepped out of the shadows.
00:39:28The lead one peeled off his leather gloves.
00:39:30His voice was low.
00:39:32Nightshade.
00:39:33Why did you never answer the Don's recall?
00:39:35I stopped sliding a book back onto the shelf.
00:39:38Sorry.
00:39:40You have the wrong person.
00:39:43He took a step closer.
00:39:47Luca Moretti drowned the whole commission in blood for you.
00:39:53And you don't even give one explanation?
00:39:56The shop went so quiet I could hear a motorbike pass the corner.
00:40:00I looked at him.
00:40:02My chest ached for no reason.
00:40:04I had a memory override once.
00:40:06I kept my voice polite.
00:40:08Who is this Luca Moretti you're talking about?
00:40:11All three men froze at once.
00:40:15I followed their eyes to the other side of the street.
00:40:18A man stood in the dusk.
00:40:20Black coat.
00:40:22Tall.
00:40:23Lean.
00:40:24I didn't know him.
00:40:26But he looked at me like I had once killed him with my own hands.
00:40:32Later I learned his name was Luca Moretti.
00:40:36He was once my fiancé.
00:40:39He was also the man who drove me onto that operating table.
00:40:43It all began at dawn, on the day of our wedding.
00:40:47That night the terrace of Villa Moretti was still lit.
00:40:50White roses filled the small chapel.
00:40:53Everyone was waiting for me to become Mrs. Moretti.
00:40:55But I couldn't find Luca.
00:40:57I went around the long hall and pushed open the terrace door.
00:41:00And I saw him holding Mia Bellini in his arms.
00:41:03She rose on her toes and kissed his lips.
00:41:07I didn't cry.
00:41:08I didn't scream.
00:41:09I was Nightshade.
00:41:11Red Lily's sharpest cleaner.
00:41:15Before my emotions broke,
00:41:17my body moved first.
00:41:18I struck for Luca's throat.
00:41:20My fingertips stopped on his artery.
00:41:22Mia screamed and threw herself at me.
00:41:24Bella Lina, don't hurt him!
00:41:26The next second, she shoved me into the pool.
00:41:30My head hit the wall.
00:41:32Cold water flooded my mouth.
00:41:34I opened my eyes underwater and almost laughed.
00:41:37Five years ago, I pulled Mia off a trafficking line.
00:41:40She was 15 then, thin as a sheet of paper.
00:41:44I taught her to read codes.
00:41:46I taught her to clean ledgers.
00:41:48She would make hot soup for the men after a job.
00:41:50She would say thank you in a trembling voice.
00:41:53Those blood-soaked men did no time.
00:41:56They said Red Lily finally had a real woman in it.
00:41:59When they said that,
00:42:00I was in the corner stitching a knife wound on my arm.
00:42:05Back then, Luca would frown,
00:42:07walk over, and take the needle from me.
00:42:10You're always harder on yourself than on the enemy.
00:42:13He tied the knot.
00:42:14I laughed at his shaking hands,
00:42:17clumsy for a man who could strip a gun in three seconds.
00:42:21I believed that line.
00:42:22For ten years, we dodged hunters in the jungle.
00:42:27We emptied our magazines back-to-back in warehouses.
00:42:31We dragged each other out of blood at the docks.
00:42:34The first time I took the fall for him,
00:42:36I was locked for three days in the black site.
00:42:38He knelt outside the cell,
00:42:39eyes red enough to kill everyone.
00:42:41He said that for the rest of his life,
00:42:43he would never betray me.
00:42:45But a vow doesn't break in a single moment.
00:42:47It rots slowly from the first time someone starts playing favorites.
00:42:51I woke in the medical wing.
00:42:53I thought he would at least ask if it hurt.
00:42:56But when he spoke,
00:42:58his voice held only a tired warning.
00:43:01Mia was just scared.
00:43:03Don't use your night sheep methods on her.
00:43:06I looked at the old scar below his collarbone.
00:43:09Ten years ago,
00:43:11that bullet should have gone through my heart.
00:43:13You're afraid I'll deal with her in private?
00:43:19Red Lily forbids infighting.
00:43:21The wedding moves to next week.
00:43:23This ends here.
00:43:24The encrypt device by the bed bugged.
00:43:26Mia's name flashed on the screen.
00:43:28Luca glanced at it once.
00:43:29His brow tightened.
00:43:31She's having a panic attack.
00:43:32I'll go check on her.
00:43:33Luca.
00:43:34He stopped at the door.
00:43:36I asked him calmly.
00:43:38If it were her in the water tonight,
00:43:40would you also tell me it ends here?
00:43:42He didn't turn around.
00:43:43You're stronger than her.
00:43:45Don't waste my time on this.
00:43:47The door closed softly,
00:43:48but it was a nail pinning ten years of love to the bedside.
00:43:52My private terminal lit up with a black market ad.
00:43:57Phynex Protocol.
00:43:59Rebuild your identity.
00:44:02Seal your trauma.
00:44:03I stared at that line for a long time.
00:44:05A tainted blade can be reforged,
00:44:07but a tainted love is not worth polishing.
00:44:11I booked my first neural overwrite.
00:44:13After the first overrode,
00:44:15my mind felt rinsed in ice water.
00:44:17Many memories remained,
00:44:18but they were locked behind an invisible door.
00:44:20I knew I had been hurt,
00:44:22but I couldn't grasp the shape of the pain.
00:44:24The doctor told me that once the final overhow was done,
00:44:27I would lose every emotional tie to red lily
00:44:29that had formed after I came of age.
00:44:33I signed the consent form.
00:44:36What if I regret it?
00:44:38The doctor didn't look up.
00:44:40Once you enter the final overround,
00:44:42the regret gets overwrought too.
00:44:45I smiled.
00:44:48Good.
00:44:50When I got back to the safe house,
00:44:52a celebration was underway.
00:44:54Mia sat in the center,
00:44:55holding a diamond-set tactical watch.

00:52:34Good.
00:52:36When I got back to the safe house, a celebration was underway.
00:52:41Mia sat in the center, holding a diamond-set tactical watch.
00:52:45Lana Creechie saw me and rushed over.
00:52:47Nightshade.
00:52:48Mia gave us key intel on the Balkan contract.
00:52:52The Don praised her himself.
00:52:54She pushed the gift box into my hands.
00:52:56You brought her into the family.
00:52:57It's only right that you give it to her.
00:52:59I walked to Mia and held out the box.
00:53:01She reached for it.
00:53:02The instant our fingers touched, the box dropped.
00:53:05The sapphire face shattered like a crushed eye.
00:53:08Mia's tears fell at once.
00:53:10Valentina, I know you beat me, but this is from everyone.
00:53:15Someone whispered.
00:53:16She went too far.
00:53:17A maid woman, fighting a young girl over a man.
00:53:21Luca rose from the fireplace.
00:53:23He came over, picked up the broken watch, and pressed it back into my palm.
00:53:31Apologize.
00:53:32I looked at him.
00:53:34You saw me drop it?
00:53:36I saw her cry.
00:53:37That line cut deeper than any blade.
00:53:39I set the broken watch on the table.
00:53:43Then keep watching her cry.
00:53:45Mia's sobbing paused.
00:53:47Then she lunged and wrapped herself around my legs.
00:53:49Sister, don't send me away.
00:53:51Those men out there will eat me alive.
00:53:53Her nails dug deep into my ankle.
00:53:55I stepped back on instinct.
00:53:57My knee gave a slight push.
00:53:58But Mia screamed and fell, her left hand bending at an unnatural angle.
00:54:02Luca shoved me aside and scooped her up.
00:54:05I hit the corner of the table.
00:54:07A dull pain spread through my side.
00:54:09You have disappointed me.
00:54:10I braced myself against the table and didn't look at anyone.
00:54:14Luca.
00:54:15I applied to leave Red Lily.
00:54:17The whole safe house went silent.
00:54:20Luca sneered.
00:54:22How many days do you think you'd survive outside the family?
00:54:28I paid a fortune to wipe my memory clean.
00:54:31I forgot the fiancé who forged me from a street kid into a blade.
00:54:35I forgot the girl I once saved off a trafficking line, who then stole everything I had.
00:54:39I only remembered life before eighteen.
00:54:42Rainy nights.
00:54:43The orphanage.
00:54:44The bitter taste of cheap coffee.
00:54:46And one old poetry book.
00:54:48Swollen from water.
00:54:50Three years later, I ran a used bookshop in Palemo.
00:54:53That dusk, the shop was empty.
00:54:55The bell over the door suddenly rang.
00:54:58Three men in black suits stepped out of the shadows.
00:55:02The lead one peeled off his leather gloves.
00:55:04His voice was low.
00:55:05Nightshade.
00:55:06Why did you never answer the Don's recall?
00:55:09I stopped sliding a book back onto the shelf.
00:55:12Sorry.
00:55:14You have the wrong person.
00:55:17He took a step closer.
00:55:21Luca Moretti drowned the whole commission in blood for you.
00:55:26And you don't even give one explanation?
00:55:30The shop went so quiet I could hear a motorbike pass the corner.
00:55:34I looked at him.
00:55:36My chest ached for no reason.
00:55:38I had a memory override once.
00:55:40I kept my voice polite.
00:55:42Who is this Luca Moretti you're talking about?
00:55:45All three men froze at once.
00:55:48I followed their eyes to the other side of the street.
00:55:52A man stood in the dusk.
00:55:54Black coat.
00:55:55Tall.
00:55:56Lean.
00:55:58I didn't know him.
00:56:00But he looked at me like I had once killed him with my own hands.
00:56:05Later I learned his name was Luca Moretti.
00:56:10He was once my fiancé.
00:56:13He was also the man who drove me onto that operating table.
00:56:17It all began at dawn, on the day of our wedding.
00:56:20That night the terrace of Villa Moretti was still lit.
00:56:24White roses filled the small chapel.
00:56:26Everyone was waiting for me to become Mrs. Moretti.
00:56:29But I couldn't find Luca.
00:56:31I went around the long hall and pushed open the terrace door.
00:56:34And I saw him holding Mia Bellini in his arms.
00:56:37She rose on her toes and kissed his lips.
00:56:41I didn't cry.
00:56:42I didn't scream.
00:56:43I was Nightshade.
00:56:45Red Lily's sharpest cleaner.
00:56:48Before my emotions broke, my body moved first.
00:56:52I struck for Luca's throat.
00:56:53My fingertips stopped on his artery.
00:56:56Mia screamed and threw herself at me.
00:56:58Bellalina, don't hurt him!
00:57:00The next second, she shoved me into the pool.
00:57:04My head hit the wall.
00:57:06Cold water flooded my mouth.
00:57:08I opened my eyes underwater and almost laughed.
00:57:11Five years ago, I pulled Mia off a trafficking line.
00:57:14She was fifteen then, thin as a sheet of paper.
00:57:18I taught her to read codes.
00:57:19I taught her to clean ledgers.
00:57:21She would make hot soup for the men after a job.
00:57:24She would say thank you in a trembling voice.
00:57:27Those blood-soaked men did no time.
00:57:30They said Red Lily finally had a real woman in it.
00:57:33When they said that, I was in the corner stitching a knife wound on my arm.
00:57:39Back then, Luca would frown, walk over, and take the needle from me.
00:57:43You're always harder on yourself than on the enemy.
00:57:46He tied the knot.
00:57:48I laughed at his shaking hands.
00:57:50Clumsy for a man who could strip a gun in three seconds.
00:57:54I believed that line.
00:57:56For ten years, we dodged hunters in the jungle.
00:58:01We emptied our magazines back-to-back in warehouses.
00:58:05We dragged each other out of blood at the docks.
00:58:08The first time I took the fall for him, I was locked for three days in the black site.
00:58:12He knelt outside the cell, eyes red enough to kill everyone.
00:58:15He said that for the rest of his life, he would never betray me.
00:58:18But a vow doesn't break in a single moment.
00:58:21It rots slowly from the first time someone starts playing favorites.
00:58:25I woke in the medical wing.
00:58:27I thought he would at least ask if it hurt.
00:58:30But when he spoke, his voice held only a tired warning.
00:58:35Mia was just scared.
00:58:37Don't use your night sheep methods on her.
00:58:40I looked at the old scar below his collarbone.
00:58:43Ten years ago, that bullet should have gone through my heart.
00:58:47You're afraid I'll deal with her in private?
00:58:52Red Lily forbids infighting.
00:58:54The wedding moves to next week.
00:58:56This ends here.
00:58:58The encrypt device by the bed bugged.
00:59:00Mia's name flashed on the screen.
00:59:02Luca glanced at it once.
00:59:03His brow tightened.
00:59:05She's having a panic attack.
00:59:06I'll go check on her.
00:59:07Luca.
00:59:08He stopped at the door.
00:59:09I asked him calmly.
00:59:12If it were her in the water tonight, would you also tell me it ends here?
00:59:15He didn't turn around.
00:59:17You're stronger than her.
00:59:19Don't waste my time on this.
00:59:21The door closed softly, but it was a nail pinning ten years of love to the bedside.
00:59:26My private terminal lit up with a black market ad.
00:59:31Phynex Protocol.
00:59:33Rebuild your identity.
00:59:35Seal your trauma.
00:59:37I stared at that line for a long time.
00:59:39A tainted blade can be reforged.
00:59:41But a tainted love is not worth polishing.
00:59:45I booked my first neural overwrite.
00:59:47After the first overrode, my mind felt rinsed in ice water.
00:59:51Many memories remained, but they were locked behind an invisible door.
00:59:54I knew I had been hurt, but I couldn't grasp the shape of the pain.
00:59:58The doctor told me that once the final overhaul was done,
01:00:01I would lose every emotional tie to red lily that had formed after I came of age.
01:00:06I signed the consent form.
01:00:09What if I regret it?
01:00:11The doctor didn't look up.
01:00:13Once you enter the final overhauled, the regret gets overwrought too.
01:00:18I smiled.
01:00:21Good.
01:00:23When I got back to the safe house, a celebration was underway.
01:00:28Mia sat in the center, holding a diamond-set tactical watch.
01:00:32Lana Creechie saw me and rushed over.
01:00:34Nightshade.
01:00:35Mia gave us key intel on the Balkan contract.
01:00:39The dawn praised her himself.
01:00:41She pushed the gift box into my hands.
01:00:43You brought her into the family.
01:00:44It's only right that you give it to her.
01:00:45I walked to Mia and held out the box.
01:00:47She reached for it.
01:00:48The instant our fingers touched, the box dropped.
01:00:51The sapphire face shattered like a crushed eye.
01:00:54Mia's tears fell at once.
01:00:57Valentina, I know you beat me, but this is from everyone.
01:01:02Someone whispered.
01:01:03She went too far.
01:01:04A maid woman fighting a young girl over a man.
01:01:07Luca rose from the fireplace.
01:01:09He came over, picked up the broken watch, and pressed it back into my palm.
01:01:18Apologize.
01:01:19I looked at him.
01:01:21You saw me drop it?
01:01:23I saw her cry.
01:01:24That line cut deeper than any blade.
01:01:26I set the broken watch on the table.
01:01:30Then keep watching her cry.
01:01:32Mia's sobbing paused.
01:01:34Then she lunged and wrapped herself around my legs.
01:01:36Sister, don't send me away.
01:01:38Those men out there will eat me alive.
01:01:40Her nails dug deep into my ankle.
01:01:42I stepped back on instinct.
01:01:43My knee gave a slight push.
01:01:45But Mia screamed and fell, her left hand bending at an unnatural angle.
01:01:49Luca shoved me aside and scooped her up.
01:01:52I hit the corner of the table.
01:01:53A dull pain spread through my side.
01:01:56You have disappointed me.
01:01:57I braced myself against the table and didn't look at anyone.
01:02:01Luca.
01:02:02I apply to leave Red Lily.
01:02:04The whole safe house went silent.
01:02:08Luca sneered.
01:02:09How many days do you think you'd survive outside the family?
01:02:15I paid a fortune to wipe my memory clean.
01:02:18I forgot the fiancé who forged me from a street kid into a blade.
01:02:22I forgot the girl I once saved off a trafficking line, who then stole everything I had.
01:02:26I only remembered life before eighteen.
01:02:29Rainy nights.
01:02:30The orphanage.
01:02:31The bitter taste of cheap coffee.
01:02:33And one old poetry book, swollen from water.
01:02:36Three years later, I ran a used bookshop in Polemo.

01:13:13Back then, Luca would frown, walk over, and take the needle from me.
01:13:17You're always harder on yourself than on the enemy.
01:13:20He tied the knot.
01:13:21I laughed at his shaking hands.
01:13:24Clumsy for a man who could strip a gun in three seconds.
01:13:28I believed that line.
01:13:30For ten years, we dodged hunters in the jungle.
01:13:35We emptied our magazines back-to-back in warehouses.
01:13:39We dragged each other out of blood at the docks.
01:13:42The first time I took the fall for him, I was locked for three days in the black site.
01:13:45He knelt outside the cell, eyes red enough to kill everyone.
01:13:49He said that for the rest of his life, he would never betray me.
01:13:52But a vow doesn't break in a single moment.
01:13:55It rots slowly from the first time someone starts playing favorites.
01:13:58I woke in the medical wing.
01:14:01I thought he would at least ask if it hurt.
01:14:04But when he spoke, his voice held only a tired warning.
01:14:08Mia was just scared.
01:14:10Don't use your night sheep methods on her.
01:14:13I looked at the old scar below his collarbone.
01:14:17Ten years ago, that bullet should have gone through my heart.
01:14:21You're afraid I'll deal with her in private?
01:14:26Red Lily forbids infighting.
01:14:28The wedding moves to next week.
01:14:30This ends here.
01:14:31The encrypt device by the bed bugged.
01:14:33Mia's name flashed on the screen.
01:14:36Luca glanced at it once.
01:14:37His brow tightened.
01:14:38She's having a panic attack.
01:14:39I'll go check on her.
01:14:41Luca.
01:14:42He stopped at the door.
01:14:43I asked him calmly.
01:14:46If it were her in the water tonight, would you also tell me it ends here?
01:14:49He didn't turn around.
01:14:51You're stronger than her.
01:14:53Don't waste my time on this.
01:14:54The door closed softly, but it was a nail pinning ten years of love to the bedside.
01:15:00My private terminal lit up with a black market ad.
01:15:04Phynex protocol.
01:15:07Rebuild your identity.
01:15:09Seal your trauma.
01:15:10I stared at that line for a long time.
01:15:13A tainted blade can be reforged.
01:15:15But a tainted love is not worth polishing.
01:15:18I booked my first neural overwrite.
01:15:21After the first overrode, my mind felt rinsed in ice water.
01:15:25Many memories remained, but they were locked behind an invisible door.
01:15:28I knew I had been hurt, but I couldn't grasp the shape of the pain.
01:15:31The doctor told me that once the final overhaul was done,
01:15:34I would lose every emotional tie to red lily that had formed after I came of age.
01:15:40I signed the consent form.
01:15:43What if I regret it?
01:15:45The doctor didn't look up.
01:15:47Once you enter the final Opa round, the regret gets overwrought too.
01:15:52I smiled.
01:15:55Good.
01:15:57When I got back to the safe house, a celebration was underway.
01:16:01Mia sat in the center, holding a diamond set tactical watch.
01:16:05Lana Creechie saw me and rushed over.
01:16:08Nightshade, Mia gave us key intel on the Balkan contract.
01:16:12The Don praised her himself.
01:16:14She pushed the gift box into my hands.
01:16:16You brought her into the family.
01:16:17It's only right that you give it to her.
01:16:19I walked to Mia and held out the box.
01:16:21She reached for it.
01:16:22The instant our fingers touched, the box dropped.
01:16:25The sapphire face shattered like a crushed eye.
01:16:28Mia's tears fell at once.
01:16:31Valentina, I know you beat me, but this is from everyone.
01:16:36Someone whispered.
01:16:37She went too far.
01:16:38A maid woman fighting a young girl over a man.
01:16:41Luca rose from the fireplace.
01:16:43He came over, picked up the broken watch, and pressed it back into my palm.
01:16:52Apologize.
01:16:53I looked at him.
01:16:55You saw me drop it?
01:16:56I saw her cry.
01:16:58That line cut deeper than any blade.
01:17:00I set the broken watch on the table.
01:17:04Then keep watching her cry.
01:17:06Mia's sobbing paused.
01:17:07Then she lunged and wrapped herself around my legs.
01:17:10Sister, don't send me away.
01:17:11Those men out there will eat me alive.
01:17:13Her nails dug deep into my ankle.
01:17:15I stepped back on instinct.
01:17:17My knee gave a slight push.
01:17:19But Mia screamed and fell, her left hand bending at an unnatural angle.
01:17:23Luca shoved me aside and scooped her up.
01:17:25I hit the corner of the table.
01:17:27A dull pain spread through my side.
01:17:30You have disappointed me.
01:17:31I braced myself against the table and didn't look at anyone.
01:17:34Luca.
01:17:36I apply to leave Red Liley.
01:17:38The whole safe house went silent.
01:17:41Luca sneered.
01:17:43How many days do you think you'd survive outside the family?
01:17:48I paid a fortune to wipe my memory clean.
01:17:51I forgot the fiancé who forged me from a street kid into a blade.
01:17:55I forgot the girl I once saved off a trafficking line,
01:17:58who then stole everything I had.
01:18:00I only remembered life before eighteen.
01:18:03Rainy nights.
01:18:04The orphanage.
01:18:05The bitter taste of cheap coffee.
01:18:07And one old poetry book, swollen from water.
01:18:10Three years later, I ran a used bookshop in Palermo.
01:18:14That dusk, the shop was empty.
01:18:16The bell over the door suddenly rang.
01:18:18Three men in black suits stepped out of the shadows.
01:18:22The lead one peeled off his leather gloves.
01:18:25His voice was low.
01:18:26Nightshade.
01:18:27Why did you never answer the Don's recall?
01:18:30I stopped sliding a book back onto the shelf.
01:18:33Sorry.
01:18:34You have the wrong person.
01:18:38He took a step closer.
01:18:42Luca Moretti drowned the whole commission in blood for you.
01:18:47And you don't even give one explanation?
01:18:51The shop went so quiet I could hear a motorbike past the corner.
01:18:55I looked at him.
01:18:56My chest ached for no reason.
01:18:58I had a memory override once.
01:19:00I kept my voice polite.
01:19:03Who is this Luca Moretti you're talking about?
01:19:05All three men froze at once.
01:19:09I followed their eyes to the other side of the street.
01:19:12A man stood in the dusk.
01:19:14Black coat.
01:19:16Tall.
01:19:17Lean.
01:19:19I didn't know him.
01:19:20But he looked at me like I had once killed him with my own hands.
01:19:26Later I learned his name was Luca Moretti.
01:19:30He was once my fiancé.
01:19:33He was also the man who drove me onto that operating table.
01:19:37It all began at dawn, on the day of our wedding.
01:19:41That night the terrace of Villa Moretti was still lit.
01:19:44White roses filled the small chapel.
01:19:47Everyone was waiting for me to become Mrs. Moretti.
01:19:49But I couldn't find Luca.
01:19:51I went around the long hall and pushed open the terrace door.
01:19:55And I saw him holding Mia Belliani in his arms.
01:19:58She rose on her toes and kissed his lips.
01:20:01I didn't cry.
01:20:02I didn't scream.
01:20:04I was Nightshade.
01:20:05Red Lily's sharpest cleaner.
01:20:09Before my emotions broke, my body moved first.
01:20:12I struck for Luca's throat.
01:20:14My fingertips stopped on his artery.
01:20:16Mia screamed and threw herself at me.
01:20:18Bellalina, don't hurt him!
01:20:21The next second, she shoved me into the pool.
01:20:24My head hit the wall.
01:20:27Cold water flooded my mouth.
01:20:28I opened my eyes underwater and almost laughed.
01:20:32Five years ago, I pulled Mia off a trafficking line.
01:20:35She was 15 then, thin as a sheet of paper.
01:20:38I taught her to read codes.
01:20:40I taught her to clean ledgers.
01:20:42She would make hot soup for the men after a job.
01:20:45She would say thank you in a trembling voice.
01:20:48Those blood-soaked men did no time.
01:20:50They said Red Lily finally had a real woman in it.
01:20:54When they said that, I was in the corner stitching a knife wound on my arm.
01:21:00Back then, Luca would frown, walk over, and take the needle from me.
