00:02:05together on new york's upper east side since childhood 20 years of memories between us never
00:02:11in my worst dreams did i imagine that oil had been laced with a powerful sedative meant to knock me
00:02:16out cold when the family members in the room saw i was awake and silent they hurried to smooth things
00:02:22off for scarlet future mistress don't be angry scar was just messing around she's got restless hands
00:02:28all of us brothers have had a taste of it future mistress we came back from the chicago front especially
00:02:33for nico's wedding we just wanted to surprise you i lowered my eyes to the blonde hair scattered across
00:02:38the floor it had been my pride and dignity as the russell family's daughter and now nico moretti
00:02:43not only shattered it with his own hands he wanted me to swallow this bloody humiliation and pretend
00:02:48nothing had happened just so i could become his ornament a surprise this is the surprise nico morelli
00:02:55prepared for me scarlet toyed with the clippers raised a brow and looked me up and down i was just
00:03:01curious what kind of woman could keep our nico thinking about her for 20 years so dead set on
00:03:07marrying her turns out you're nothing but a spoiled little lady who grew up in a greenhouse and has
00:03:13never seen a street shootout everyone in the room understood what she left unsaid so what scarlet means
00:03:20is i'm not worthy of nico moretti is that it ava russell scar doesn't mean any harm she's been blunt
00:03:28like this since she was a kid she has no filter why do you have to take it personal as
00:03:32he spoke he
00:03:32tossed a black box onto the bed it hit the edge and sprang open revealing an exquisite wig inside
00:03:37stop making a scene i had this handmade italian custom wig prepared especially for you scarlet was
00:03:42only joking it's not like your hair won't grow back a joke what kind of joke requires shaving someone
00:03:47completely bald i didn't scream i didn't lose control i didn't even say a word i bit down hard
00:03:52forcing myself through the lingering drug haze and the ache in my limbs the blood of the russell family
00:03:57and years of highborn etiquette did not allow me to bow my head under their stunned gazes i picked up
00:04:01the wig placed it on my head and carefully smoothed every shining strand when the long hair fell back
00:04:06over my shoulders i instantly became polished and noble again my calmness darkened scarlet's face and
00:04:12she cut in from the side nico is taking such good care of you whether i think you're worthy or
00:04:17not
00:04:17isn't he still marrying you so what are you still whining about put on a thick veil tomorrow wear the
00:04:22wig and who can tell your hair is gone stop standing there looking so pitiful that weak little act is
00:04:28annoying but from the moment i woke up until now i had not shed a single tear nico are you
00:04:35really
00:04:35gonna let her humiliate me like this
00:04:40nico sighed and came over as if to take my hand i jerked away
00:04:46scar is my life and death comrade that's just how she is her mouth runs but her heart isn't bad
00:04:51let's put this behind us all right nico softened his voice again coaxing me ava at the end of the
00:04:56day i'm the one who gave you the oil this should be on me if you want to blame someone
00:04:59blame me
00:04:59that was what he said but his face carried absolute arrogance as if he was certain that
00:05:03after loving him for 20 years i could never hate him i looked at his face the face i had
00:05:07known since
00:05:08i was three when i was 11 children from another family cornered me and tried to steal the necklace
00:05:13my mother had left me nico grabbed a baseball bat and charged at them if anyone dared touch a single
00:05:18hair on my head he would fight them back when i was 17 just after my birthday nico graduated from
00:05:23west point and came to my door with the family's signet ring terrified someone else would win me first
00:05:28desperate to bind me to him for life when i was 20 nico left for chicago to expand the family's
00:05:33power at the airport he held my hand tightly eyes red and said that when he returned he would give
00:05:38me
00:05:38a grand wedding then nico spent four years fighting through chicago's gunfire while i waited quietly for
00:05:43him in the estate in new york and now that diffuser bottle still sat by the bed the sicilian citrus
00:05:48scent
00:05:48that once made me feel safe was wrapped in the sharp smell of sedatives silently mocking my stupidity
00:05:54actually this wasn't the first time i'd seen scarlet's hostility
00:05:56last year after begging my father for ages i finally boarded the family jet and went to a
00:06:01safe house in chicago to see nico but after i arrived nico showed no surprise at all instead
00:06:05he spent every day in the war hoose with scarlet leaning over city maps and planning operations
00:06:08even seeing me felt like a waste of his time i asked his men to announce me three times
00:06:13scarlet simply posted a printed sheet of paper on the iron door of the war room it read ava russell
00:06:19and
00:06:19dogs no entry back then i was furious and hurt i fought with nico but he only told me coldly
00:06:24scar doesn't mean any harm she's just direct besides delaying an operational briefing was
00:06:28your fault to begin with that was when i knew the scale in nico's heart had long since tipped
00:06:32beyond repair nico was still standing by the bed repeating that line he thought was so affectionate
00:06:38ava at the end of the day i'm the one who gave you the oil this should be on me
00:06:43if you want to blame
00:06:44someone blame me hearing nico scarlet suddenly grabbed the tactical dagger on the table drew the
00:06:48blade and pressed it against her own long hair it's just hair isn't it fine i'll shave mine too and
00:06:53keep
00:06:53you to company for my partner a little sacrifice is nothing don't blame nico scarlet spoke as if she
00:07:00were making some righteous sacrifice but the blade in her hand didn't press even the slightest bit into
00:07:05her hair i looked at her performance and suddenly laughed then do it scarlet's hand froze i leaned
00:07:13forward and pressed her each word deliberate shave it her blade moved forward by half an inch but she
00:07:18used no force at all it didn't cut even a single strand i'm doing this for my partner fine i'll
00:07:23shave it at that moment nico lee drew the beretta from his waist and knocked the dagger out of
00:07:27scarlet's hand with the grip he looked at me his face livid his eyes full of rage enough ava russell
00:07:33you are completely out of line i froze scarlet is my life and death partner a comrade who would take
00:07:38a bullet for me in a street shootout why do you always have to make things hard for her she
00:07:42fought
00:07:42for four years in chicago she has spilled more blood than you've shed tears in your entire life
00:07:47and you the moment you see another woman you turn her into an imaginary enemy scarlet sees far beyond
00:07:53you she worries about the safety of the whole family about whether our brothers live or die
00:07:59what do you have in your heart scarlet tugged at his sleeve pretending to advise him nico stop she is
00:08:06your fiance after all but nico didn't stop accusing me so what if she's my fiance she's been shut inside
00:08:11that estate for too long her world is the size of a needle tail scar was only testing you in
00:08:15her own way
00:08:15i know it doesn't feel good but in this line of work courage and mental strength are everything
00:08:19why can't you get past this why force scar to shave her head with you do you have any idea
00:08:24how
00:08:24humiliating it is to force someone to do that i stood there listening to those words stab straight
00:08:28into my heart i had told myself countless times that it was time to let go of nico moretti
00:08:33but at that moment my heart still felt like it had been seized and crushed by a hand
00:08:37ava put away your tantrums the moretti name stands for absolute cold blood and obedience
00:08:42i don't need a narrow-minded bitter woman who haggles over a few strands of hair reflect on
00:08:47yourself after that he left the suite with several men without waiting for my answer
00:08:52the instant everyone left the strength i had been forcing myself to hold on to seemed to drain out of
00:08:57me all at once a dense suffocating pain spread through my veins and into every limb i looked at
00:09:04that brilliant patch of gold on the floor and suddenly realized i truly hated nico moretti now
00:09:10i raised my hand pulled off that heavy ridiculous wig and threw it aside letting my blue tint scalp
00:09:15be exposed to the air again when footsteps sounded outside the suite door

00:24:43lingering drug haze and the ache in my limbs the blood of the russell family and years of highborn
00:24:47etiquette did not allow me to bow my head under their stunned gazes i picked up the wig placed it
00:24:51on
00:24:52my head and carefully smoothed every shining strand when the long hair fell back over my shoulders i
00:24:56instantly became polished and noble again my calmness darkened scarlet's face and she cut in
00:25:02from the side nico is taking such good care of you whether i think you're worthy or not isn't he
00:25:07still
00:25:07marrying you so what are you still whining about put on a thick veil tomorrow wear the wig and who

00:25:35scar is my life and death comrade that's just how she is her mouth runs but her heart isn't bad
00:25:40let's put this behind us all right nico softened his voice again coaxing me ava at the end of the

00:25:49me that was
00:25:49what he said but his face carried absolute arrogance as if he was certain that after
00:25:53loving him for 20 years i could never hate him i looked at his face the face i had known
00:25:57since i
00:25:57was three when i was 11 children from another family cornered me and tried to steal the necklace my
00:26:02mother had left me nico grabbed a baseball bat and charged at them if anyone dared touch a single
00:26:08hair on my head he would fight them back when i was 17 just after my birthday nico graduated from
00:26:13west point and came to my door with the family's signet ring terrified someone else would win me
00:26:17first desperate to bind me to him for life when i was 20 nico left for chicago to expand the
00:26:22family's
00:26:23power at the airport he held my hand tightly eyes red and said that when he returned he would give
00:26:27me
00:26:27a grand wedding then nico spent four years fighting through chicago's gunfire while i waited quietly for
00:26:32him in the estate in new york and now that diffuser bottle still sat by the bed the sicilian citrus
00:26:37scent that once made me feel safe was wrapped in the sharp smell of sedatives silently mocking my
00:26:42stupidity actually this wasn't the first time i'd seen scarlet's hostility last year after begging
00:26:47my father for ages i finally boarded the family jet and went to a safe house in chicago to see
00:26:51nico
00:26:51but after i arrived nico showed no surprise at all instead he spent every day in the war hoose with
00:26:55scarlet leaning over city maps and planning operations even seeing me felt like a waste of
00:27:00his time i asked his men to announce me three times scarlet simply posted a printed sheet of paper
00:27:05on the iron door of the war room it read ava russell and dogs no entry back then i was
00:27:10furious and
00:27:11hurt i fought with nico but he only told me coldly scar doesn't mean any harm she's just direct besides
00:27:16delaying an operational briefing was your fault to begin with that was when i knew the scale in
00:27:20nico's heart had long since tipped beyond repair nico was still standing by the bed repeating that
00:27:25line he thought was so affectionate ava at the end of the day i'm the one who gave you the
00:27:30oil
00:27:31this should be on me if you want to blame someone blame me hearing nico scarlet suddenly grabbed the
00:27:36tactical dagger on the table drew the blade and pressed it against her own long hair it's just
00:27:40hair isn't it fine i'll shave mine too and keep you to company for my partner a little sacrifice is
00:27:45nothing don't blame nico scarlet spoke as if she were making some righteous sacrifice but the blade
00:27:52in her hand didn't press even the slightest bit into her hair i looked at her performance and suddenly
00:27:58laughed then do it scarlet's hand froze i leaned forward and pressed her each word deliberate shave
00:28:05it her blade moved forward by half an inch but she used no force at all it didn't cut even
00:28:09a single
00:28:10strand i i'm doing this for my partner fine i'll shave it at that moment nico lee drew the beretta
00:28:15from his waist and knocked the dagger out of scarlet's hand with the grip he looked at me his face

00:46:38me that was
00:46:39what he said but his face carried absolute arrogance as if he was certain that after loving him for 20
00:46:43years i could never hate him i looked at his face the face i had known since i was three
00:46:47when i was
00:46:4811 children from another family cornered me and tried to steal the necklace my mother had left me nico

00:47:03with the family's signet ring terrified someone else would win me first desperate to bind me to him
00:47:08for life when i was 20 nico left for chicago to expand the family's power at the airport he held
00:47:14my
00:47:14hand tightly eyes red and said that when he returned he would give me a grand wedding then nico spent
00:47:18four
00:47:19years fighting through chicago's gunfire while i waited quietly for him in the estate in new york and now
00:47:24that diffuser bottle still sat by the bed the sicilian citrus scent that once made me feel safe
00:47:28was wrapped in the sharp smell of sedatives silently mocking my stupidity actually this wasn't the first
00:47:34time i'd seen scarlet's hostility last year after begging my father for ages i finally boarded the
00:47:38family jet and went to a safe house in chicago to see nico but after i arrived nico showed no
00:47:42surprise
00:47:43at all instead he spent every day in the war hoose with scarlet leaning over city maps and planning
00:47:47operations even seeing me felt like a waste of his time i asked his men to announce me three times
00:47:52scarlet simply posted a printed sheet of paper on the iron door of the war room
00:47:56it read ava russell and dogs no entry back then i was furious and hurt i fought with nico but
00:48:02he
00:48:02only told me coldly scar doesn't mean any harm she's just direct besides delaying an operational
00:48:06briefing was your fault to begin with that was when i knew the scale in nico's heart had long since
00:48:11tipped beyond repair nico was still standing by the bed repeating that line he thought was so affectionate
00:48:17ava at the end of the day i'm the one who gave you the oil this should be on me
00:48:22if you want to
00:48:22blame someone blame me hearing nico scarlet suddenly grabbed the tactical dagger on the table drew the
00:48:27blade and pressed it against her own long hair it's just hair isn't it fine i'll shave mine too and
00:48:32keep
00:48:32you to company for my partner a little sacrifice is nothing don't blame nico scarlet spoke as if she
00:48:39were making some righteous sacrifice but the blade in her hand didn't press even the slightest bit into her
00:48:44hair i looked at her performance and suddenly laughed then do it scarlet's hand froze i leaned
00:48:52forward and pressed her each word deliberate shave it her blade moved forward by half an inch but she
00:48:57used no force at all it didn't cut even a single strand i i'm doing this for my partner fine

00:49:02shave it that moment nico leads me over drew the beretta from his waist and knocked the dagger out of
00:49:06scarlet's hand with the grip he looked at me his face livid his eyes full of rage enough
00:49:11ava russell you are completely out of line i froze scarlet is my life and death partner a comrade who

00:49:44is your fiancee after all but nico didn't stop accusing me so what if she's my fiancee she's been

01:06:34shoulders i instantly became polished and noble again my calmness darkened scarlet's face and she
01:06:40cut in from the side nico is taking such good care of you whether i think you're worthy or not
01:06:45isn't
01:06:46he still marrying you so what are you still whining about put on a thick veil tomorrow wear the wig
01:06:51and
01:06:51who can tell your hair is gone stop standing there looking so pitiful that weak little act is annoying
01:06:57but from the moment i woke up until now i had not shed a single tear
01:07:02nico are you really gonna let her humiliate me like this
01:07:08nico sighed and came over as if to take my hand i jerked away
01:07:14scar is my life and death comrade that's just how she is her mouth runs but her heart isn't bad
01:07:19let's put this behind us all right nico softened his voice again coaxing me
01:07:23ava at the end of the day i'm the one who gave you the oil this should be on me
01:07:26if you want to blame
01:07:27someone blame me that was what he said but his face carried absolute arrogance as if he was certain
01:07:32that after loving him for 20 years i could never hate him i looked at his face the face i
01:07:36had known
01:07:36since i was three when i was 11 children from another family cornered me and tried to steal
01:07:41the necklace my mother had left me nico grabbed a baseball bat and charged at them if anyone dared
01:07:46touch a single hair on my head he would fight them back when i was 17 just after my birthday
01:07:50nico
01:07:51graduated from west point and came to my door with the family's signet ring terrified someone else would win
01:07:56me first desperate to bind me to him for life when i was 20 nico left for chicago to expand
01:08:01the family's
01:08:01power at the airport he held my hand tightly eyes red and said that when he returned he would give
01:08:06me
01:08:06a grand wedding then nico spent four years fighting through chicago's gunfire while i waited quietly for
01:08:11him in the estate in new york and now that diffuser bottle still sat by the bed the sicilian citrus
01:08:16scent
01:08:17that once made me feel safe was wrapped in the sharp smell of sedatives silently mocking my stupidity
01:08:22actually this wasn't the first time i'd seen scarlet's hostility last year after begging my
01:08:26father for ages i finally boarded the family jet and went to a safe house in chicago to see nico
01:08:30but after i arrived nico showed no surprise at all instead he spent every day in the warhoose with
01:08:34scarlet leaning over city maps and planning operations even seeing me felt like a waste of his time
01:08:39i asked his men to announce me three times scarlet simply posted a printed sheet of paper on the iron
01:08:45door of the war room it read ava russell and dogs no entry back then i was furious and hurt
01:08:50i fought with nico but
01:08:51he only told me coldly scar doesn't mean any harm she's just direct besides delaying an operational
01:08:56briefing was your fault to begin with that was when i knew the scale in nico's heart had long
01:09:00since tipped beyond repair nico was still standing by the bed repeating that line he thought was so
01:09:05affectionate ava at the end of the day i'm the one who gave you the oil this should be on
01:09:11me if you
01:09:12want to blame someone blame me hearing nico scarlet suddenly grabbed the tactical dagger on the table
01:09:16drew the blade and pressed it against her own long hair it's just hair isn't it fine i'll shave mine
01:09:21too and keep you to company for my partner a little sacrifice is nothing don't blame nico scarlet spoke
01:09:28as if she were making some righteous sacrifice but the blade in her hand didn't press even the
01:09:33slightest bit into her hair i looked at her performance and suddenly laughed then do it
01:09:39scarlet's hand froze i leaned forward and pressed her each word deliberate shave it her blade moved
01:09:45forward by half an inch but she used no force at all it didn't cut even a single strand i
01:09:49i'm doing
01:09:50this for my partner fine i'll shave it at that moment nico lee drew the beretta from his waist and
01:09:55knocked the dagger out of scarlet's hand with the grip he looked at me his face livid his eyes full
01:09:59of
01:09:59rage enough ava russell you are completely out of line i froze scarlet is my life and death partner
01:10:05a comrade who would take a bullet for me in a street shootout why do you always have to make
01:10:09things hard
01:10:10for her she fought for four years in chicago she has spilled more blood than you've shed tears in your
01:10:15entire life and you the moment you see another woman you turn her into an imaginary enemy scarlet
01:10:21sees far beyond you she worries about the safety of the whole family about whether our brothers live
01:10:26or die what do you have in your heart scarlet tugged at his sleeve pretending to advise him nico stop
01:10:33she is your fiancee after all but nico didn't stop accusing me so what if she's my fiancee she's been
01:10:38shut inside that estate for too long her world is the size of a needle tail scar was only testing
01:10:43you in her own way i know it doesn't feel good but in this line of work courage and mental
01:10:47strength
01:10:47are everything why can't you get past this why force scar to shave her head with you do you have
01:10:51any idea how humiliating it is to force someone to do that i stood there listening to those words
01:10:56stab straight into my heart i had told myself countless times that it was time to let go of nico
01:11:01moretti but at that moment my heart still felt like it had been seized and crushed by a hand
01:11:05ava put away your tantrums the moretti name stands for absolute cold blood and obedience i don't need
01:11:11a narrow-minded bitter woman who haggles over a few strands of hair reflect on yourself after that
01:11:17he left the suite with several men without waiting for my answer the instant everyone left the strength
01:11:23i had been forcing myself to hold on to seemed to drain out of me all at once a dense
01:11:27suffocating
01:11:28pain spread through my veins and into every limb i looked at that brilliant patch of gold on the floor
01:11:34and suddenly realized i truly hated nico moretti now i raised my hand pulled off that heavy ridiculous
01:11:41wig and threw it aside letting my blue tint scalp be exposed to the air again when footsteps sounded
01:11:46outside the suite door darling tomorrow is your big day i asked the kitchen to make you when my mother
01:11:54pushed the door open she was still holding a cup of black coffee the cup in her hand crashed to
01:11:59the floor
01:11:59spilling hot coffee everywhere my mother stared at my bald head her eyes went wide and her voice
01:12:05shook beyond control your your hair she looked down and saw the long hair scattered across the floor
01:12:11panic overtook her what what happened who did this my hearing was sharp i heard scarlet outside the fire
01:12:17exit unable to suppress a soft laugh mom it's all right i held my mother's violently shaking hands and
01:12:23comforted her softly my mother's tears fell instantly the wedding is tomorrow how are you supposed to
01:12:29face anyone like this all of new york society is watching what are we supposed to tell them already
01:12:33i looked into her eyes and said each word clearly mom i messaged damien costell i'm changing the groom
