00:02:49and pretend nothing had happened just so i could become his ornament a surprise this is the surprise
00:02:55nico morelli prepared for me scarlet toyed with the clippers raised a brow and looked me up and down
00:03:01i was just curious what kind of woman could keep our nico thinking about her for 20 years
00:03:06so dead set on marrying her turns out you're nothing but a spoiled little lady who grew up in
00:03:12a greenhouse and has never seen a street shootout everyone in the room understood what she left
00:03:18unsaid so what scarlet means is i'm not worthy of nico moretti is that it ava russell scar doesn't mean
00:03:28any harm she's been blunt like this since she was a kid she has no filter why do you have
00:03:31to take it
00:03:32personal as he spoke he tossed a black box onto the bed it hit the edge and sprang open revealing
00:03:37an exquisite wig inside stop making a scene i had this handmade italian custom wig prepared especially
00:03:42for you scarlet was only joking it's not like your hair won't grow back a joke what kind of joke
00:03:47requires shaving someone completely bald i didn't scream i didn't lose control i didn't even say a
00:03:52word i bit down hard forcing myself through the lingering drug haze and the ache in my limbs
00:03:56the blood of the russell family and years of highborn etiquette did not allow me to bow my head
00:04:00under their stunned gazes i picked up the wig placed it on my head and carefully smoothed every
00:04:04shining strand when the long hair fell back over my shoulders i instantly became polished and noble
00:04:09again my calmness darkened scarlet's face and she cut in from the side nico is taking such good care
00:04:15of you whether i think you're worthy or not isn't he still marrying you so what are you still whining
00:04:20about put on a thick veil tomorrow wear the wig and who can tell your hair is gone stop standing

00:04:42as if to take my hand i jerked away scar is my life and death comrade that's just how she
00:04:49is her mouth
00:04:50runs but her heart isn't bad let's put this behind us all right nico softened his voice again coaxing

00:04:58me if you want to
00:04:59blame someone blame me that was what he said but his face carried absolute arrogance as if he was
00:05:04certain that after loving him for 20 years i could never hate him i looked at his face the face
00:05:08i had
00:05:08known since i was three when i was 11 children from another family cornered me and tried to steal
00:05:13the necklace my mother had left me nico grabbed a baseball bat and charged at them if anyone dared
00:05:18touch a single hair on my head he would fight them back when i was 17 just after my birthday
00:05:23nico
00:05:23graduated from west point and came to my door with the family's signet ring terrified someone else would
00:05:28win me first desperate to bind me to him for life when i was 20 nico left for chicago to
00:05:33expand the
00:05:33family's power at the airport he held my hand tightly eyes red and said that when he returned
00:05:38he would give me a grand wedding then nico spent four years fighting through chicago's gunfire
00:05:42while i waited quietly for him in the estate in new york and now that diffuser bottle still sat by
00:05:47the bed the sicilian citrus scent that once made me feel safe was wrapped in the sharp smell of
00:05:52sedatives silently mocking my stupidity actually this wasn't the first time i'd seen scarlet's
00:05:57hostility last 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 he spent
00:06:06every day in the war hoose with scarlet leaning over city maps and planning operations even seeing
00:06:10me felt like a waste of his time i asked his men to announce me three times scarlet simply posted
00:06:15a
00:06:15printed sheet of paper on the iron door of the war room it read ava russell and dogs no entry
00:06:21back
00:06:21then i was furious and hurt i fought with nico but he only told me coldly scar doesn't mean any
00:06:26harm
00:06:26she's just direct besides delaying an operational briefing was your fault to begin with that was when i
00:06:31knew the scale in nico's heart had long since tipped beyond repair nico was still standing by
00:06:35the bed repeating that line he thought was so affectionate ava at the end of the day i'm the
00:06:41one who gave you the oil this should be on me if you want to blame someone blame me hearing
00:06:46nico
00:06:46scarlet suddenly grabbed the tactical dagger on the table drew the blade and pressed it against her
00:06:51own long hair it's just hair isn't it fine i'll shave mine too and keep you to company
00:06:54for my partner a little sacrifice is nothing don't blame nico scarlet spoke as if she were
00:07:01making some righteous sacrifice but the blade in her hand didn't press even the slightest bit into
00:07:06her hair i looked at her performance and suddenly laughed then do it scarlet's hand froze i leaned
00:07:14forward and pressed her each word deliberate shave it her blade moved forward by half an inch
00:07:18but she used no force at all it didn't cut even a single strand i'm doing this for my partner
00:07:23fine
00:07:23i'll shave it at that moment nico leads forward drew the beretta from his waist and knocked the
00:07:28dagger out of scarlet's hand with the grip he looked at me his face livid his eyes full of rage
00:07:31enough ava russell you are completely out of line i froze scarlet is my life and death partner
00:07:38a comrade who would take a bullet for me in a street shootout why do you always have to make
00:07:42things hard for her she fought for four years in chicago she has spilled more blood than you've
00:07:46shed tears in your entire life and you the moment you see another woman you turn her into an
00:07:51imaginary enemy scarlet sees far beyond you she worries about the safety of the whole family
00:07:57about whether our brothers live or die what do you have in your heart scarlet tugged at his sleeve
00:08:04pretending to advise him nico stop she is your fiancee after all but nico didn't stop accusing me so
00:08:09what if she's my fiancee she's been shut inside that estate for too long her world is the size of
00:08:13a
00:08:14needle tip scar was only testing you in her own way i know it doesn't feel good but in this
00:08:18line of
00:08:18work courage and mental strength are everything why can't you get past this why force scar to shave
00:08:23her head with you do you have any idea how humiliating it is to force someone to do that
00:08:26i stood there listening to those words stab straight into my heart i had told myself countless times that
00:08:32it was time to let go of nico moretti but at that moment my heart still felt like it had
00:08:36been seized
00:08:37and crushed by a hand ava put away your tantrums the moretti name stands for absolute cold blood and
00:08:42obedience i don't need a narrow-minded bitter woman who haggles over a few strands of hair reflect on
00:08:48yourself after that he left the suite with several men without waiting for my answer
00:08:53the instant everyone left the strength i had been forcing myself to hold on to seemed to drain out
00:08:58of me all at once a dense suffocating pain spread through my veins and into every limb
00:09:03i looked at that brilliant patch of gold on the floor and suddenly realized
00:09:08i truly hated nico moretti now i raised my hand pulled off that heavy ridiculous wig and threw it aside
00:09:15letting my blue tinted scalp be exposed to the air again when footsteps sounded outside the suite door

00:23:48thinking about her for 20 years so dead set on marrying her turns out you're nothing but a spoiled
00:23:55little lady who grew up in a greenhouse and has never seen a street shootout everyone in the room
00:24:01understood what she left unsaid so what scarlet means is i'm not worthy of nico moretti
00:24:09is that it ava russell scar doesn't mean any harm she's been blunt like this since she was a kid
00:24:14she has no filter why do you have to take it personal as he spoke he tossed a black box

00:24:19bed it hit the edge and sprang open revealing an exquisite wig inside stop making a scene i had this
00:24:24handmade italian custom wig prepared especially for you scarlet was only joking it's not like your
00:24:28hair won't grow back a joke what kind of joke requires shaving someone completely bald i didn't
00:24:34scream i didn't lose control i didn't even say a word i bit down hard forcing myself through the
00:24:39lingering drug haze and the ache in my limbs the blood of the russell family and years of highborn
00:24:43etiquette did not allow me to bow my head under their stunned gazes i picked up the wig placed it
00:24:47on
00:24:47my head and carefully smoothed every shining strand when the long hair fell back over my shoulders i
00:24:52instantly became polished and noble again my calmness darkened scarlet's face and she cut in
00:24:57from the side nico is taking such good care of you whether i think you're worthy or not isn't he
00:25:03still
00:25:03marrying you so what are you still whining about put on a thick veil tomorrow wear the wig and who
00:25:08can

00:25:14the moment i woke up until now i had not shed a single tear nico are you really gonna let
00:25:21her
00:25:21humiliate me like this nico sighed and came over as if to take my hand i jerked away
00:25:31scar is my life and death comrade that's just how she is her mouth runs but her heart isn't bad
00:25:36let's put this behind us all right nico softened his voice again coaxing me ava at the end of the
00:25:41day
00:25:41i'm the one who gave you the oil this should be on me if you want to blame someone blame
00:25:44me that was
00:25:45what he said but his face carried absolute arrogance as if he was certain that after
00:25:49loving him for 20 years i could never hate him i looked at his face the face i had known
00:25:53since i
00:25:53was three when i was 11 children from another family cornered me and tried to steal the necklace my
00:25:58mother had left me nico grabbed a baseball bat and charged at them if anyone dared touch a single
00:26:03hair on my head he would fight them back when i was 17 just after my birthday nico graduated from
00:26:08west point and came to my door with the family's signet ring terrified someone else would win me
00:26:13first desperate to bind me to him for life when i was 20 nico left for chicago to expand the
00:26:18family's
00:26:18power at the airport he held my hand tightly eyes red and said that when he returned he would give
00:26:23me
00:26:23a grand wedding then nico spent four years fighting through chicago's gunfire while i waited quietly for
00:26:28him in the estate in new york and now that diffuser bottle still sat by the bed the sicilian citrus
00:26:33scent that once made me feel safe was wrapped in the sharp smell of sedatives silently mocking my
00:26:38stupidity actually this wasn't the first time i'd seen scarlet's hostility last year after begging
00:26:43my father for ages i finally boarded the family jet and went to a safe house in chicago to see
00:26:47nico
00:26:47but after i arrived nico showed no surprise at all instead he spent every day in the war hoose with
00:26:51scarlet leaning over city maps and planning operations even seeing me felt like a waste of
00:26:55his time i asked his men to announce me three times scarlet simply posted a printed sheet of paper
00:27:01on the iron door of the war room it read ava russell and dogs no entry back then i was
00:27:06furious and
00:27:07hurt i fought with nico but he only told me coldly scar doesn't mean any harm she's just direct besides
00:27:12delaying an operational briefing was your fault to begin with that was when i knew the scale in
00:27:16nico's heart had long since tipped beyond repair nico was still standing by the bed repeating that
00:27:21line he thought was so affectionate ava at the end of the day i'm the one who gave you the
00:27:26oil
00:27:27this should be on me if you want to blame someone blame me hearing nico scarlet suddenly grabbed the
00:27:32tactical dagger on the table drew the blade and pressed it against her own long hair it's just
00:27:36hair isn't it fine i'll shave mine too and keep you to company for my partner a little sacrifice is
00:27:41nothing don't blame nico scarlet spoke as if she were making some righteous sacrifice but the blade
00:27:48in her hand didn't press even the slightest bit into her hair i looked at her performance and suddenly
00:27:54laughed then do it scarlet's hand froze i leaned forward and pressed her each word deliberate shave
00:28:00it her blade moved forward by half an inch but she used no force at all it didn't cut even
00:28:05a single
00:28:05strand i i'm doing this for my partner fine i'll shave it at that moment nico leads further drew the
00:28:10beretta from his waist and knocked the dagger out of scarlet's hand with the grip he looked at me
00:28:14his face livid his eyes full of rage enough ava russell you are completely out of line i froze
00:28:20scarlet is my life and death partner a comrade who would take a bullet for me in a street shootout
00:28:25why do you always have to make things hard for her she fought for four years in chicago she has
00:28:29spilled more blood than you've shed tears in your entire life and you the moment you see another
00:28:35woman you turn her into an imaginary enemy scarlet sees far beyond you she worries about the safety of
00:28:41the whole family about whether our brothers live or die what do you have in your heart scarlet tugged at
00:28:48his sleeve pretending to advise him nico stop she is your fiancee after all but nico didn't stop
00:28:53accusing me so what if she's my fiancee she's been shut inside that estate for too long her world is
00:28:57the size of a needle tip scar was only testing you in her own way i know it doesn't feel
00:29:01good but in
00:29:02this line of work courage and mental strength are everything why can't you get past this why force
00:29:07scar to shave her head with you do you have any idea how humiliating it is to force someone to
00:29:10do that
00:29:11i stood there listening to those words stab straight into my heart i had told myself countless times that
00:29:16it was time to let go of nico moretti but at that moment my heart still felt like it had
00:29:20been seized
00:29:21and crushed by a hand eva put away your tantrums the moretti name stands for absolute cold blood and
00:29:26obedience i don't need a narrow-minded bitter woman who haggles over a few strands of hair reflect on
00:29:32yourself after that he left the suite with several men without waiting for my answer the instant everyone
00:29:39left the strength i had been forcing myself to hold on to seemed to drain out of me all at
00:29:43once a dense
00:29:44suffocating pain spread through my veins and into every limb i looked at that brilliant patch of
00:29:50gold on the floor and suddenly realized i truly hated nico moretti now i raised my hand pulled off
00:29:57that heavy ridiculous wig and threw it aside letting my blue tinted scalp be exposed to the air again when

00:44:17and pretend nothing had happened just so i could become his ornament a surprise this is the surprise nico
00:44:24morelli prepared for me scarlet toyed with the clippers raised a brow and looked me up and down
00:44:30i was just curious what kind of woman could keep our nico thinking about her for 20 years
00:44:35so dead set on marrying her turns out you're nothing but a spoiled little lady who grew up in
00:44:41a greenhouse and has never seen a street shootout everyone in the room understood what she left unsaid
00:44:48so what scarlet means is i'm not worthy of nico moretti is that it ava russell scar doesn't mean any
00:44:57harm she's been blunt like this since she was a kid she has no filter why do you have to
00:45:00take it
00:45:01personal as he spoke he tossed a black box onto the bed it hit the edge and sprang open revealing
00:45:06an
00:45:06exquisite wig inside stop making a scene i had this handmade italian custom wig prepared especially for
00:45:11you scarlet was only joking it's not like your hair won't grow back a joke what kind of joke requires
00:45:16shaving someone completely bald i didn't scream i didn't lose control i didn't even say a word i bit
00:45:21down hard forcing myself through the lingering drug haze and the ache in my limbs the blood of the
00:45:26russell family and years of highborn etiquette did not allow me to bow my head under their stunned
00:45:30gazes i picked up the wig placed it on my head and carefully smoothed every shining strand when the
00:45:34long hair fell back over my shoulders i instantly became polished and noble again my calmness darkened
00:45:40scarlet's face and she cut in from the side nico is taking such good care of you whether i think
00:45:46you're worthy or not isn't he still marrying you so what are you still whining about put on a thick
00:45:51veil
00:45:51tomorrow wear the wig and who can tell your hair is gone stop standing there looking so pitiful
00:45:56that weak little act is annoying but from the moment i woke up until now i had not shed a
00:46:01single tear
00:46:04nico are you really gonna let her humiliate me like this
00:46:09nico sighed and came over as if to take my hand i jerked away
00:46:15scar is my life and death comrade that's just how she is her mouth runs but her heart isn't bad
00:46:20let's put this behind us all right nico softened his voice again coaxing me ava at the end of the
00:46:25day i'm the one who gave you the oil this should be on me if you want to blame someone
00:46:28blame me
00:46:29that was what he said but his face carried absolute arrogance as if he was certain that
00:46:33after loving him for 20 years i could never hate him i looked at his face the face i had
00:46:37known since
00:46:37i was three when i was 11 children from another family cornered me and tried to steal the necklace
00:46:42my mother had left me nico grabbed a baseball bat and charged at them if anyone dared touch a single
00:46:48hair on my head he would fight them back when i was 17 just after my birthday nico graduated from
00:46:53west point and came to my door with the family's signet ring terrified someone else would win me
00:46:57first desperate to bind me to him for life when i was 20 nico left for chicago to expand the
00:47:02family's
00:47:03power at the airport he held my hand tightly eyes red and said that when he returned he would give
00:47:07me
00:47:07a grand wedding then nico spent four years fighting through chicago's gunfire while i waited quietly
00:47:12for him in the estate in new york and now that diffuser bottle still sat by the bed the sicilian
00:47:17citrus scent that once made me feel safe was wrapped in the sharp smell of sedatives silently mocking my
00:47:22stupidity actually this wasn't the first time i'd seen scarlett's hostility last year after begging
00:47:27my father for ages i finally boarded the family jet and went to a safe house in chicago to see
00:47:31nico
00:47:31but after i arrived nico showed no surprise at all instead he spent every day in the warhoose with
00:47:36scarlett leaning over city maps and planning operations even seeing me felt like a waste of his time
00:47:40i asked his men to announce me three times scarlett simply posted a printed sheet of paper on the iron
00:47:46door of the war room it read ava russell and dogs no entry back then i was furious and hurt
00:47:51i fought
00:47:52with nico but he only told me coldly scar doesn't mean any harm she's just direct besides delaying an
00:47:56operational briefing was your fault to begin with that was when i knew the scale in nico's heart had
00:48:01long since tipped beyond repair nico was still standing by the bed repeating that line he thought
00:48:06was so affectionate ava at the end of the day i'm the one who gave you the oil this should
00:48:12be on me
00:48:12if you want to blame someone blame me hearing nico scarlett suddenly grabbed the tactical dagger on the
00:48:17table drew the blade and pressed it against her own long hair it's just hair isn't it fine i'll shave
00:48:22mine too and keep you to company for my partner a little sacrifice is nothing don't blame nico scarlett
00:48:29spoke as if she were making some righteous sacrifice but the blade in her hand didn't press even
00:48:34the slightest bit into her hair i looked at her performance and suddenly laughed then do it
00:48:41scarlett's hand froze i leaned forward and pressed her each word deliberate shave it her blade moved
00:48:46forward by half an inch but she used no force at all it didn't cut even a single strand i
00:48:51i'm doing
00:48:51this for my partner fine i'll shave it at that moment nico lee drew the beretta from his waist and
00:48:56knocked the dagger out of scarlett's hand with the grip he looked at me his face livid his eyes full
00:49:00of
00:49:00rage enough ava russell you are completely out of line i froze scarlett is my life and death partner
00:49:06a comrade who would take a bullet for me in a street shootout why do you always have to make
00:49:10things hard for her she fought for four years in chicago she has spilled more blood than you've
00:49:15shed tears in your entire life and you the moment you see another woman you turn her into an imaginary
00:49:21enemy scarlett sees far beyond you she worries about the safety of the whole family about whether our
00:49:27brothers live or die what do you have in your heart scarlett tugged at his sleeve pretending to
00:49:33advise him nico stop she is your fiancee after all but nico didn't stop accusing me so what if she's
00:49:39my fiancee she's been shut inside that estate for too long her world is the size of a needle tail
00:49:43scar
00:49:43was only testing you in her own way i know it doesn't feel good but in this line of work
00:49:47courage
00:49:47and mental strength are everything why can't you get past this why force scar to shave her head with
00:49:52you do you have any idea how humiliating it is to force someone to do that i stood there listening
00:49:56to those words stab straight into my heart i had told myself countless times that it was time to let
00:50:01go of nico moretti but at that moment my heart still felt like it had been seized and crushed by
00:50:06a hand
00:50:07ava put away your tantrums the moretti name stands for absolute cold blood and obedience
00:50:11i don't need a narrow-minded bitter woman who haggles over a few strands of hair reflect on yourself
00:50:18after that he left the suite with several men without waiting for my answer the instant everyone
00:50:23left the strength i had been forcing myself to hold on to seemed to drain out of me all at
00:50:27once
00:50:28a dense suffocating pain spread through my veins and into every limb i looked at that brilliant
00:50:34patch of gold on the floor and suddenly realized i truly hated nico moretti now i raised my hand pulled
00:50:41off that heavy ridiculous wig and threw it aside letting my blue tint scalp be exposed to the air again
00:50:46when footsteps sounded outside the suite door

00:50:56door open she was still holding a cup of black coffee the cup in her hand crashed to the floor
00:51:00spilling hot coffee everywhere my mother stared at my bald head her eyes went wide and her voice
00:51:06shook beyond control your your hair she looked down and saw the long hair scattered across the floor
00:51:12panic overtook her what what happened who did this my hearing was sharp i heard scarlet outside the fire

01:06:26from the side nico is taking such good care of you whether i think you're worthy or not isn't he
01:06:31still
01:06:32marrying you so what are you still whining about put on a thick veil tomorrow wear the wig and who
01:06:37can
01:06:37tell your hair is gone stop standing there looking so pitiful that weak little act is annoying but from
01:06:43the moment i woke up until now i had not shed a single tear nico are you really gonna let
01:06:49her humiliate
01:06:50me like this nico sighed and came over as if to take my hand i jerked away
01:07:00scar is my life and death comrade that's just how she is her mouth runs but her heart isn't bad
01:07:05let's put this behind us all right nico softened his voice again coaxing me ava at the end of the
01:07:10day i'm the one who gave you the oil this should be on me if you want to blame someone
01:07:13blame me that
01:07:14was what he said but his face carried absolute arrogance as if he was certain that after loving
01:07:18him for 20 years i could never hate him i looked at his face the face i had known since
01:07:22i was three
01:07:22when i was 11 children from another family cornered me and tried to steal the necklace my mother had
01:07:27left me nico grabbed a baseball bat and charged at them if anyone dared touch a single hair on my
01:07:33head
01:07:33he would fight them back when i was 17 just after my birthday nico graduated from west point and came
01:07:38to my door with the family's signet ring terrified someone else would win me first desperate to bind me
01:07:43him for life when i was 20 nico left for chicago to expand the family's power at the airport he
01:07:48held
01:07:49my hand tightly eyes red and said that when he returned he would give me a grand wedding then nico
01:07:53spent four years fighting through chicago's gunfire while i waited quietly for him in the estate in new
01:07:58york and now that diffuser bottle still sat by the bed the sicilian citrus scent that once made me feel
01:08:03safe was wrapped in the sharp smell of sedatives silently mocking my stupidity actually this wasn't the
01:08:09first time i'd seen scarlet's hostility last year after begging my father for ages i finally boarded
01:08:13the family jet and went to a safe house in chicago to see nico but after i arrived nico showed
01:08:17no
01:08:17surprise at all instead he spent every day in the war hoose with scarlet leaning over city maps and
01:08:22planning operations even seeing me felt like a waste of his time i asked his men to announce me three
01:08:26times
01:08:27scarlet simply posted a printed sheet of paper on the iron door of the war room it read ava russell
01:08:33and
01:08:33dogs no entry back then i was furious and hurt i fought with nico but he only told me coldly
01:08:38scar doesn't mean any harm she's just direct besides delaying an operational briefing was
01:08:42your fault to begin with that was when i knew the scale in nico's heart had long since tipped
01:08:46beyond repair nico was still standing by the bed repeating that line he thought was so affectionate
01:08:52ava at the end of the day i'm the one who gave you the oil this should be on me
01:08:57if you want to blame
01:08:58someone blame me hearing nico scarlet suddenly grabbed the tactical dagger on the table drew the
01:09:02blade and pressed it against her own long hair it's just hair isn't it fine i'll shave mine too and
01:09:07keep
01:09:07you to company for my partner a little sacrifice is nothing don't blame nico scarlet spoke as if she
01:09:14were making some righteous sacrifice but the blade in her hand didn't press even the slightest bit into
01:09:19her hair i looked at her performance and suddenly laughed then do it scarlet's hand froze i leaned
01:09:27forward and pressed her each word deliberate shave it her blade moved forward by half an inch
01:09:31but she used no force at all it didn't cut even a single strand i i'm doing this for my
01:09:36partner
01:09:36fine i'll shave it at that moment nico leads forward drew the beretta from his waist and knocked the
01:09:41dagger out of scarlet's hand with the grip he looked at me his face livid his eyes full of rage
01:09:45enough ava russell you are completely out of line i froze scarlet is my life and death partner a comrade
01:09:52who would take a bullet for me in a street shootout why do you always have to make things hard
01:09:55for her
01:09:56she fought for four years in chicago she has spilled more blood than you've shed tears in your
01:10:00entire life and you the moment you see another woman you turn her into an imaginary enemy scarlet
01:10:06sees far beyond you she worries about the safety of the whole family about whether our brothers live
01:10:12or die what do you have in your heart scarlet tugged at his sleeve pretending to advise him nico stop
01:10:19she is your fiancee after all but nico didn't stop accusing me so what if she's my fiancee she's been
01:10:24shut inside that estate for too long her world is the size of a needle tail scar was only testing
01:10:28you in her own way i know it doesn't feel good but in this line of work courage and mental
01:10:32strength
01:10:33are everything why can't you get past this why force scar to shave her head with you do you have
01:10:37any idea how humiliating it is to force someone to do that i stood there listening to those words
01:10:41stab straight into my heart i had told myself countless times that it was time to let go of nico
01:10:46but at that moment my heart still felt like it had been seized and crushed by a hand
01:10:51ava put away your tantrums the mereci name stands for absolute cold blood and obedience
01:10:56i don't need a narrow-minded bitter woman who haggles over a few strands of hair reflect on yourself
01:11:02after that he left the suite with several men without waiting for my answer the instant everyone
01:11:07left the strength i had been forcing myself to hold on to seemed to drain out of me all at
01:11:12once a dense
01:11:13suffocating pain spread through my veins and into every limb i looked at that brilliant patch of gold on
01:11:19the floor and suddenly realized i truly hated nico moretti now i raised my hand pulled off that heavy
01:11:26ridiculous wig and threw it aside letting my blue tinted scalp be exposed to the air again when
01:11:31footsteps sounded outside the suite door darling tomorrow is your big day i asked the kitchen to
01:11:38make you when my mother pushed the door open she was still holding a cup of black coffee the cup
01:11:43in her
01:11:43hand crashed to the floor spilling hot coffee everywhere my mother stared at my bald head her eyes went
01:11:49wide and her voice shook beyond control your your hair she looked down and saw the long hair scattered
01:11:55across the floor panic overtook her what what happened who did this my hearing was sharp i heard scarlet
01:12:02outside the fire exit unable to suppress a soft laugh mom it's all right i held my mother's violently shaking
01:12:08hands and comforted her softly my mother's tears fell instantly the wedding is tomorrow how are you
01:12:14supposed to face anyone like this all of new york society is watching what are we supposed to tell
01:12:18them already i looked into her eyes and said each word clearly mom i messaged damien costell i'm changing the
01:12:26groom
01:12:38on the eve of my arranged marriage into a mafia family someone shaved my head bald the blonde hair
01:12:44i'd grown for 12 years hair that used to fall to my waist like a waterfall was gone all that
01:12:50was left
01:12:50was a blue tinged scalp scarlet valenti who went by scar on the streets wore her hair in a high
01:12:55ponytail
01:12:56an electric clipper in one hand grinning lazily a nico moretti beside her your fiance has terrible
01:13:01instincts such a pampered upper east site princess someone slipped into her penthouse suite and she didn't even
01:13:06notice how is she supposed to be worthy of you the future godfather of the merecki family the moretti
01:13:11capos and consigliers seated around the room burst into laughter scar that's not fair nico put that
01:13:19custom essential oil by her bed himself who guards against her own fiance scarlet gave a mocking laugh
01:13:27and waved the clipper in her hand the wedding is tomorrow let's see whether this delicate upper east
01:13:35sight barbie still deserves the moretti wedding ring without all that blonde hair she wears like
01:13:41a status symbol nico take away her salon and your fiance's is just a poor little thing as laughter filled
01:13:51the room nico moretti looked at me with a thin perfuctious apology on his face ava don't be so fragile
01:13:57in our world weakness gets you killed scarlet and the others are just welcoming you in their own way
01:14:02it's a test of your nerve put on a veil tomorrow and no one will know wear the veil and
01:14:09the wig
01:14:09tomorrow no one will see anything wrong you'll still be the mrs moretti i bring home in style
01:14:15i tried to move my limbs still too weak to use and fixed my eyes on that diffuser bottle nico
01:14:21had come
01:14:22to see me in the suite last night and placed it there with his own hands this is a custom
01:14:27essential oil
01:14:28from sicily blended with lavender and chamomile extract it's the best thing for sleep
01:14:36you'll be busy all day tomorrow so get a good night's rest i thought of how we had grown up
01:14:41together on new york's upper east side since childhood 20 years of memories between us
01:14:47never in my worst dreams did i imagine that oil had been laced with a powerful sedative meant to knock
01:14:52me out cold when the family members in the room saw i was awake and silent they hurried to smooth
01:14:58things off for scarlet future mistress don't be angry scar was just messing around she's got restless
01:15:04hands all of us brothers have had a taste of it future mistress we came back from the chicago front
01:15:08especially for nico's wedding we just wanted to surprise you i lowered my eyes to the blonde hair
01:15:13scattered across the floor it had been my pride and dignity as the russell family's daughter
01:15:18and now nico moretti not only shattered it with his own hands he wanted me to swallow this bloody
01:15:23humiliation and pretend nothing had happened just so i could become his ornament a surprise this is
01:15:30the surprise nico morelli prepared for me scarlet toyed with the clippers raised a brow and looked me up
01:15:36and down i was just curious what kind of woman could keep our nico thinking about her for 20 years
01:15:41so dead set on marrying her turns out you're nothing but a spoiled little lady who grew up in a
01:15:48greenhouse and has never seen a street shootout everyone in the room understood what she left
01:15:53unsaid so what scarlet means is i'm not worthy of nico moretti is that it ava russell scar doesn't
01:16:03mean any harm she's been blunt like this since she was a kid she has no filter why do you
01:16:07have to take
01:16:07it personally as he spoke he tossed a black box onto the bed it hit the edge and sprang open
01:16:12revealing an
01:16:12exquisite wig inside stop making a scene i had this handmade italian custom wig prepared especially
01:16:17for you scarlet was only joking it's not like your hair won't grow back a joke what kind of joke
01:16:22requires shaving someone completely bald i didn't scream i didn't lose control i didn't even say a
01:16:27word i bit down hard forcing myself through the lingering drug haze and the ache in my limbs
01:16:31the blood of the russell family and years of highborn etiquette did not allow me to bow my head
01:16:35under their stunned gazes i picked up the wig placed it on my head and carefully smoothed every
01:16:40shining strand when the long hair fell back over my shoulders i instantly became polished and noble
01:16:45again my calmness darkened scarlet's face and she cut in from the side nico is taking such good care
01:16:51of you whether i think you're worthy or not isn't he still marrying you so what are you still whining
01:16:56about put on a thick veil tomorrow wear the wig and who can tell your hair is gone stop standing
01:17:01there
01:17:02looking so pitiful that weak little act is annoying but from the moment i woke up until now i had
01:17:07not
01:17:07shed a single tear nico are you really gonna let her humiliate me like this
01:17:16nico sighed and came over as if to take my hand i jerked away
01:17:22scar is my life and death comrade that's just how she is her mouth runs but her heart isn't bad
