00:00:00To give her son a normal childhood, a mother decided to hide her billionaire status,
00:00:05burying her mansion underground and making him live in a dilapidated house.
00:00:09After her son fell asleep, she would return to her luxurious home.
00:00:13The boy studied diligently every day to escape poverty.
00:00:17Twenty years later, the boy became the world's richest man.
00:00:20One day, after completing five years of volunteer work in Africa,
00:00:24he was preparing to return home and propose to his girlfriend.
00:00:27However, a beautiful woman introduced herself to him and asked to be her husband.
00:00:31Oh wow, that's pretty cool.
00:00:34He probably didn't make a cent doing that, but the way he talks about it, like it mattered,
00:00:39he's unlike any other man I've ever met.
00:00:42I'm Anya, by the way.
00:00:44Arthur.
00:00:46Well, Arthur, this might sound totally insane, but...
00:00:52Would you mind doing me a favor?
00:00:54What favor?
00:00:55Let me introduce myself properly.
00:00:57I'm the CEO of Throne Tech, the heiress to Throne's fortune.
00:01:00I own five properties and two private estates.
00:01:03Annual income, one billion dollars.
00:01:05And...
00:01:07I want you to be my husband.
00:01:09What?
00:01:10I mean, a fake marriage.
00:01:12Just for a year.
00:01:13I need someone to play my husband, and you just feel like the right man for me.
00:01:18Is that a joke?
00:01:19I'm serious.
00:01:20You can trust me.
00:01:21Google me.
00:01:21You'll see that I have no scandals, no addictions, nothing shady in my past.
00:01:25If you agree, we can sign the paperwork today.
00:01:27And I'll offer $100,000 a month, plus a waterfront con in Midtown, in your name only.
00:01:34Tempting.
00:01:35But you have picked the wrong man.
00:01:38Already taken.
00:01:39I'm flying back to get married.
00:01:42Oh, I did not see that coming.
00:01:44I'm sorry.
00:01:47So that is it.
00:01:48Guess I just have to suck it up.
00:01:50You do not seem that helpless to me.
00:01:53Hm?
00:01:56Your AI subsidiary, Underthrone Tech, it has got potential.
00:02:00The Titan Group will be interested.
00:02:02But if that is your pitch deck, to win them over, you are toast.
00:02:08Really?
00:02:09You might be a nice guy, but you don't know a thing about how the business world works.
00:02:15We might not be getting married, but I can still help you.
00:02:17Hey, what are you doing?
00:02:19Fixing your pitch.
00:02:20You're asking for $100 million?
00:02:22Try $100 billion.
00:02:23Excuse me?
00:02:25What?
00:02:27There.
00:02:28Done.
00:02:29What the hell did you just do?
00:02:31You sent that?
00:02:32You actually sent it?
00:02:34You were under-saying yourself.
00:02:35You hijacked my pitch!
00:02:37Do you have any idea what you've just done?
00:02:39I saved your pitch.
00:02:42Saved?
00:02:42You've ruined it!
00:02:51Did you just touch me?
00:02:54It was an accident.
00:02:56Turbulity.
00:02:56I was trying to help.
00:02:57Oh, you've done enough to help.
00:03:01Sir?
00:03:02Ma'am?
00:03:02Is everything alright?
00:03:03We're good.
00:03:04She just scored a $100 billion investment.
00:03:06She's a bit emotional.
00:03:08Emotional?
00:03:10Well, congratulations.
00:03:13Trust me.
00:03:14The Titan Group doesn't go for small gains.
00:03:17Asking for $100 million?
00:03:18That's an insult.
00:03:19$100 billion?
00:03:20That's where the conversation starts.
00:03:22You want to win them over?
00:03:23You need to think bigger.
00:03:25Did you seriously just say that?
00:03:27You're welcome.
00:03:28Great.
00:03:29First you messed with my file.
00:03:30Then you humiliated me in public?
00:03:32Congratulations!
00:03:33You're officially the most infuriating man I've ever met.
00:03:35Lucky we're not getting married, huh?
00:03:37This isn't over.
00:03:49Help her land a billion dollar deal?
00:03:51And not even a thank you?
00:03:53Please.
00:03:54Serena would never.
00:03:58Five years apart, she must be surprised when he sees me.
00:04:02You sure about this?
00:04:03Africa's far.
00:04:04It's not just a trip.
00:04:05I'm going to change the world, Serena.
00:04:07You always knew that was the dream.
00:04:12One more thing before I go.
00:04:22Serena Lee, will you marry me?
00:04:26Yes.
00:04:29Yes.
00:04:34Let's get married when I get back.
00:04:39A two million dollar necklace.
00:04:41The perfect gift for her big day.
00:04:43I hope she'll like it.
00:04:51My girl, look at this.
00:04:53An entire party just for you.
00:04:55Throne Tech doesn't do this for just anyone.
00:04:58We've officially made it.
00:04:59It's just the beginning, Mom.
00:05:00You know, my dream is to become someone like Anya Throne.
00:05:02The CEO.
00:05:04But she's a mystery.
00:05:05Never appears in public.
00:05:11Assuming I'll meet her today.
00:05:17After all these years of my funding,
00:05:20Serena's finally made it.
00:05:21A PhD.
00:05:23Partner at Throne Tech.
00:05:24Time to let her know that
00:05:26I'm the CEO of Titan Group.
00:05:28And start our sweet life.
00:05:36Is that Arthur?
00:05:38Isn't he begging for life abroad?
00:05:39What the hell is he doing here?
00:05:44Serena, congratulations.
00:05:47Arthur?
00:05:49I heard about the offer.
00:05:51Thought I'd surprise you.
00:05:52Why are you here?
00:05:54I flew back.
00:05:55For you.
00:05:56Let me guess.
00:05:57You heard about her throne offer,
00:05:59the salary,
00:06:01and you decided to claw your way back?
00:06:03What?
00:06:04Don't act surprised.
00:06:06Five years you vanished.
00:06:07The second she makes partner,
00:06:08you show up with discount flowers
00:06:10and a name that means nothing.
00:06:12You shouldn't have come, Arthur.
00:06:14This whatever we were,
00:06:16it's over.
00:06:16Let's break up.
00:06:17But we spent seven years building towards this.
00:06:20We are supposed to get married.
00:06:22You said you loved me.
00:06:24You thought Serena would love you?
00:06:25Don't be absurd.
00:06:26My daughter has a PhD.
00:06:28She's the youngest partner at Throne Tech,
00:06:30pulling in $30 million a year.
00:06:31And you, you vanished to Africa
00:06:33and worked there as a builder.
00:06:34Do you really think that makes you worthy of her?
00:06:37My mom is right.
00:06:38We belong to different worlds now.
00:06:40I can't marry someone like you.
00:06:42No.
00:06:53Someone like me?
00:06:55Look around.
00:06:56This is the party Throne Tech threw for me.
00:06:59These people?
00:07:00Legacy investors.
00:07:02Real powers.
00:07:03And you think I could introduce them
00:07:05to an embarrassment as my fiancé?
00:07:07I'm an embarrassment?
00:07:12So that's what this did to you.
00:07:14One job offer from Throne Tech.
00:07:17And you think you're out of my league.
00:07:19Did you know, Serena?
00:07:22To me, Throne Tech is just a small fish.
00:07:25You arrogant little cockroach!
00:07:27How dare you look down on the top firm in this country!
00:07:29You want to know why Throne Tech gave you that offer?
00:07:31Because someone vouched for you.
00:07:33Someone they'd never dare ignore.
00:07:35And that someone...
00:07:37was me.
00:07:39I'm sorry, what?
00:07:41Confirmed?
00:07:42Are you sure?
00:07:44Madam, you're not going to believe this.
00:07:46The Titan Group just approved a direct investment in us.
00:07:50They what?
00:07:52One hundred billion dollars.
00:07:55What?
00:07:56It's Mr. Storm's move.
00:07:57You know the ghost chairman who runs the Titan Group?
00:08:00It's his first formal return to the States.
00:08:01And we're his first target.
00:08:03We got it.
00:08:04A hundred billion.
00:08:08There.
00:08:08Done.
00:08:09He was right.
00:08:12It's one hundred billion.
00:08:15Parker.
00:08:17Find him.
00:08:18Find who?
00:08:19The man who's sitting next to me on the Nairobi flight.
00:08:22Arthur.
00:08:23I don't care what it takes.
00:08:25Find him.
00:08:27Understood.
00:08:28But...
00:08:29What do you want with him?
00:08:31I'm going to marry him.
00:08:32Wait.
00:08:33What?
00:08:34I've never seen an incredible man like him before.
00:08:37He is the one I want.
00:08:38You self-importance little shit.
00:08:40Who the hell do you think you are?
00:08:42I get it, Arthur.
00:08:43You're not upset about the breakup.
00:08:44You're just pissed off at all the money you poured into me.
00:08:47Just name your number.
00:08:48I'll pay you off.
00:08:49And then we're done.
00:08:50For good.
00:08:51Is that what you think?
00:08:52That I'm here chasing the money I gave you?
00:08:54Let's settle up.
00:08:55How about...
00:08:56A hundred grand?
00:08:57Two hundred thousand?
00:08:59Serena.
00:09:00Three hundred thousand dollars.
00:09:01That's more than you've ever seen.
00:09:02Three hundred thousand dollars.
00:09:04That's more than you've ever seen.
00:09:05You still think I came here for money?
00:09:07Take it and get out of here.
00:09:08My daughter should have dumped you ages ago.
00:09:10You've got no house, no car, no savings.
00:09:13You can't even get a decent job.
00:09:14You're a lost cause.
00:09:15Is that what you think of me?
00:09:17For the sake of our seven years together,
00:09:18don't embarrass yourself even more.
00:09:20Just take the money and leave.
00:09:21My daughter's done with you.
00:09:23Can't you get that through your thick head?
00:09:26He's not worth your time.
00:09:30Oh, where's Victor?
00:09:31Didn't he say he was coming tonight?
00:09:34Yeah.
00:09:34Said he had something to handle first.
00:09:36Should be here soon.
00:09:37Victor?
00:09:38Victor, son of James West.
00:09:41Vice Chair of Throne Tech.
00:09:43Practically next in line after Anya Throne.
00:09:47Only someone like him is a match for my daughter.
00:09:50Rich, charming, well-educated.
00:09:53And you?
00:09:54You're a penniless dropout.
00:09:56You're just a misstep she should have never taken.
00:09:58Arthur, Victor's on his way.
00:10:00You should leave.
00:10:02Trust me.
00:10:03You don't want to be here when he walks in.
00:10:06Because the moment you see him, you'll be ashamed of yourself.
00:10:10Now I see it.
00:10:11You didn't just break up with me because of the job.
00:10:14It was because of him.
00:10:16Victor.
00:10:17At least with him, I can build something bigger.
00:10:19Really?
00:10:20And you're so sure I couldn't help you build something better than anything he could?
00:10:24You?
00:10:25Please.
00:10:27So, you actually think you're better than me?
00:10:40Victor!
00:10:41My love, you're here!
00:10:43Let me guess.
00:10:45You're Arthur?
00:10:46Serena's ex-boyfriend?
00:10:48You look exactly how I pictured.
00:10:49Cheap suit.
00:10:50Basic face.
00:10:52Still clinging to the woman who left you behind like yesterday's trash.
00:10:56Oh, don't mind him.
00:10:58He never deserved to be with Serena.
00:11:00Just a pathetic shadow tagging along.
00:11:02So, you seriously thought you could compete with me?
00:11:06I'm Victor West.
00:11:08Son of James West.
00:11:09Vice Chair of Throne Tech.
00:11:11And you?
00:11:12You're not even worth the dirt under my shoes.
00:11:14You're right.
00:11:14Because unlike you, I don't need to cling to Daddy's title to matter.
00:11:18Excuse me?
00:11:18A piece of trash like you dares to talk back?
00:11:22Get out!
00:11:22Now!
00:11:23Before I have security drag you out like the street rat you are!
00:11:26Exactly.
00:11:27This is a ceremony for elites, not beggars.
00:11:32What the hell is going on here?
00:11:34Victor, is everything alright?
00:11:36Why don't you ask him?
00:11:38He got dumped by Serena, and now he's crashing her party.
00:11:41Dr. Lee is our new partner, handpicked by Miss Throne herself.
00:11:45Whatever this is, you're way out of line.
00:11:47Exactly.
00:11:48Look around.
00:11:49These aren't just normal guests, Mr. Cooper.
00:11:52This is Throne Tech's A-team.
00:11:54Top executives, professionals, the people who run this city.
00:11:58And then there's him.
00:11:59Some college dropout who thinks moving bricks and nannying kids in Africa is a career.
00:12:04I was running a charity.
00:12:06Oh?
00:12:07So that's what we're calling unemployment now?
00:12:09Charity?
00:12:10Boy, just say you were broke and too proud to get a real job.
00:12:13We all know why he's here.
00:12:15Groveling to my daughter, hoping she will drag him out of the gutter.
00:12:18So he wants to be a kept man and fails.
00:12:20Pathetic.
00:12:20An all-time loser, dumped by his genius girlfriend.
00:12:24He should have seen that coming.
00:12:26You hear that?
00:12:27This is reality.
00:12:29My daughter, a PhD, a future partner, a successful, stunning woman.
00:12:33You, just the mud on her heels.
00:12:45Now crawl back to the shack you came from.
00:12:47Your fairy tale is over!
00:12:49Arthur, a man can be broke or uneducated.
00:12:52But delusional, that's where I draw the line.
00:12:54No matter what you tell yourself, I would never marry you.
00:12:59Funny.
00:12:59You want to know my biggest mistake, Serena?
00:13:01Believing in you.
00:13:02Seven years of unconditional support.
00:13:04Wiring money whenever you need to pay rent or tuition.
00:13:07I made you.
00:13:08And this is how you repay me?
00:13:09Don't twist it!
00:13:10I didn't force you to do any of this!
00:13:11I don't need to twist anything.
00:13:14I bank-raid your PhD.
00:13:16Help land your offer at ThroneTech.
00:13:17And you dropped me the second you made it upstairs.
00:13:21Don't credit yourself for my achievement.
00:13:23I earned all these by myself.
00:13:25I'm smart.
00:13:26I worked hard.
00:13:27I could have made it with or without you.
00:13:29No.
00:13:30You won't.
00:13:31You'll never know what you've lost.
00:13:33I bought this for you.
00:13:39But you don't deserve it.
00:13:44We're done.
00:13:46Oh, please.
00:13:47You think a fake diamond necklace could buy my daughter's heart?
00:13:50How much did you spend on this trash?
00:13:52$20?
00:13:53$50?
00:13:54Babe, tell him how much the necklace I bought you is worth.
00:13:58$70,000.
00:13:59My gift for you was auctioned for $2,000,000.
00:14:02But you throw it away for him and his second-rate jewels.
00:14:05I'm so tired of your bullshit.
00:14:07You need a wake-up call.
00:14:11I'm so tired of your bullshit.
00:14:12I'm so tired of your bullshit.
00:14:16I'm so tired of your bullshit.
00:14:19Security!
00:14:20Get him out!
00:14:20That's enough, young man.
00:14:22Dr. Lee's an asset to Throne Tech, and this is her party.
00:14:25She says you're out.
00:14:26You're out!
00:14:28Now get lost!
00:14:32We found Arthur, madam.
00:14:34Where?
00:14:35He's inside Throne HQ, at Dr. Lee's welcome party.
00:14:38Sounds like things are getting ugly.
00:14:41Dr. Lee?
00:14:43Quick, head to the company now.
00:14:45Yes, madam.
00:14:47What are you waiting for, sucker?
00:14:49Doors that way.
00:14:50Just leave, Arthur, before this gets worse for you.
00:14:52Worse?
00:14:53How?
00:14:55Because I dared to stand where I don't belong?
00:14:57You want to be a laughingstock?
00:14:58Fine.
00:14:59But don't expect me to save you when this all blows up in your face.
00:15:02Save me?
00:15:03That's rich.
00:15:04You don't have that power.
00:15:05You never did.
00:15:06You mess with me, you mess with the Throne family.
00:15:09Pisans like you can't afford the price.
00:15:11Final warning.
00:15:12Walk out on your own, or I'll have security drag you out.
00:15:14Go ahead.
00:15:15Call your guards.
00:15:16But let's be clear.
00:15:17I walked into this building because I have every right to be here.
00:15:20And none of you has the power to push me out.
00:15:22Not even Anya Thorn herself.
00:15:25Faster.
00:15:26I don't care what it takes.
00:15:28Get me to him, now.
00:15:29Yes, madam.
00:15:31Do you have any idea what the name Anya Throne means?
00:15:34Wow.
00:15:34You're even dumber than I thought.
00:15:36You just insulted the woman who built this empire.
00:15:39Even my father wouldn't dare challenge her.
00:15:41But you?
00:15:42You're so done.
00:15:43So, in your world, Anya Thorn might be an untouchable goddess.
00:15:47But in mine?
00:15:48She's just a woman with some talent.
00:15:50I'd be more worried if I were you.
00:15:52Because you tried to put a hand on me, she might have a bigger problem with you.
00:15:55You must have a death wish.
00:15:56Arthur, I get that the breakup hurt.
00:15:58But now, you're spiraling.
00:16:00Disrespecting Lady Throne like that?
00:16:02I was actually going to get you a janitor job here.
00:16:04But after this, you're not even worth that.
00:16:07You were going to recommend me?
00:16:08For a janitor position?
00:16:09Do you know how competitive it is just to work here?
00:16:12You should be grateful.
00:16:14Even our security guards have degrees.
00:16:17And you didn't even finish years.
00:16:18I don't need a degree to prove myself.
00:16:20My achievement speaks for itself.
00:16:22That's how real business works.
00:16:23Clearly, it's beyond your imagination.
00:16:26You're talking nonsense again.
00:16:27After everything happens today, there's no place for you in ThroneTech.
00:16:30You blew your only chance to fix your sore life.
00:16:32I never needed your recommendation.
00:16:34And as for whether ThroneTech has a place for me,
00:16:38Why don't you go ask Annie a thorn yourself?
00:16:50Where is Arthur?
00:16:52Conference hall. It's tense.
00:16:53From what I heard, he and Serena Lee were involved.
00:16:56She dumped him.
00:16:58They broke up?
00:17:00Well, that saves me the trouble of stealing someone's fiancé.
00:17:05What's your goal here, Arthur?
00:17:06Seriously? Trying to crash and burn in public?
00:17:09I'll tell you what it is.
00:17:11He couldn't have you.
00:17:12So now he wants to drag you down with him.
00:17:15Ugh. Pathetic ex-revenge.
00:17:17Such a petty man.
00:17:18Don't worry, Serena. I've got you.
00:17:21Victor's father is the vice chair.
00:17:23With their support, whatever stunt he's pulling ends.
00:17:26Trust me.
00:17:27Once Lady Throne shows up, he's got maybe five minutes left.
00:17:31I can't believe how dumb you are, Arthur.
00:17:33No wonder you achieved nothing in our seven years together.
00:17:37I wasted so much time on you.
00:17:39Honestly, leaving you was the best decision I've ever made.
00:17:43Was it?
00:17:44Because when the truth comes out, you'll realize it was the worst mistake of your life.
00:17:55What? Lady Throne just arrived?
00:17:58Lady Throne.
00:17:59She came straight from the airport.
00:18:00She's in the lobby now.
00:18:01Wait.
00:18:02She actually came?
00:18:04Oh my god!
00:18:05She came to support Serena!
00:18:07You hear that?
00:18:08Anya Throne is here for my daughter!
00:18:11My daughter is the future of Throne Tech!
00:18:13This is it.
00:18:15We need to take out this human trash before Lady Throne arrives.
00:18:19She's literally making the room smell cheap.
00:18:21Hear that, dumbass?
00:18:23Throne Tech doesn't take in strays.
00:18:27Get out while you still have legs to walk on.
00:18:33Here's your last chance.
00:18:35Half a million dollars.
00:18:36Half a million?
00:18:37You're flattering him!
00:18:39It's worth it to keep him from ruining my night.
00:18:41Take the money, Arthur.
00:18:43Disappear.
00:18:44That's more than you'll see in ten lifetimes.
00:18:47Be smart.
00:18:48Take it.
00:18:49And vanish.
00:18:50You talk a lot about power, Serena.
00:18:58But when you learn who I am...
00:19:11You'll be begging me for mercy.
00:19:13What the hell?
00:19:14You ungrateful bastard!
00:19:16You dare humiliate me?
00:19:17You really think you're someone now?
00:19:19Someone's gonna change everything?
00:19:24Then, make your little announcement.
00:19:28But if it's bullshit...
00:19:30You'll be crawling out of here, kissing every shoe in this room.
00:19:33Oh, come on.
00:19:34This low-status nobody doesn't even deserve to kiss anyone's shoes here.
00:19:47He's my husband.
00:19:50Is that status high enough for you?
00:19:58You let them do this to you?
00:19:59It's okay.
00:20:00They went rogue.
00:20:01I didn't.
00:20:02Real men don't hit women.
00:20:05Also, I'm your husband?
00:20:07I don't recall saying yes to your little proposal on the plane.
00:20:10I never regret the words I mean.
00:20:22So now, let me take out the trash.
00:20:30Who the hell are you storming in like this?
00:20:33Did you not hear me the first time?
00:20:35I'm Arthur's wife.
00:20:37This man right here, he's my husband.
00:20:43Wait, what?
00:20:45Lady Throne?
00:20:46Mary?
00:20:47But she's never...
00:20:48She's never show interest in any men.
00:20:50Oh, God.
00:20:51I'm dead.
00:20:52I'm so dead.

00:21:01Callum had one arm around Jenna as he sealed me inside.
00:21:04He left me there to die in the dark, surrounded by serpents, and he never looked back.
00:21:08The pain was beyond anything I had words for.
00:21:11It felt like I was being torn apart from the inside out, piece by piece, until even screaming
00:21:14became impossible.
00:21:15When I died, I drifted in silver light, endless, cold, and silent.
00:21:19There was nothing left of me but a thin thread of soul, too broken even to cry.
00:21:22Then a voice fell through the dark like a blade through silk, clear, ancient, and completely
00:21:26without warmth.
00:21:27Child of Ritmoyer, you died badly.
00:21:30What I offer is not mercy.
00:21:32It is a contract.
00:21:33Give me something, and I will give you what you want.
00:21:37I'll give up my face, my beauty in this life, all of it.
00:21:40In exchange, I want the Lunar Hunt Covenant, the Silver Sight, and one more life.
00:21:44Do you understand what it means to give up your face?
00:21:46I do.
00:21:47Last time, my beauty made it easy for them to use me.
00:21:49I don't need anyone to love my face.
00:21:51I just need to see clearly.
00:21:53Silver light crapped through me like lightning, and I was thrown back into the world of the
00:21:57livened.
00:21:57When I opened my eyes, the hissing was gone.
00:21:59The air smelled of incense.
00:22:01I raised a hand to my face and felt it.
00:22:02A scar across my cheek.
00:22:04Faint silver light pulsing beneath it like a wire.
00:22:06It was the mark of the covenant, the price Artemis had carved into my skin.
00:22:09I was back.
00:22:10Back to the morning, Eleanor Hargreff came to beg.
00:22:13I stood in front of the mirror and traced the scar with my fingers.
00:22:16Then I smiled, but there was nothing warm left in it.
00:22:20I did not come back to love him.
00:22:21I came back from hell to collect what they owed me.
00:22:24One debt at a time.
00:22:28Rowena, please!
00:22:29I'm begging you!
00:22:31You have to save Callum!
00:22:32The old woman dropped to her knees in front of me, clutching the hem of my dress with both
00:22:35hands and crying like she had nothing left.
00:22:37The death mark carved into Callum's forehead was the final outbreak of decades of serpent
00:22:42resentment buried beneath the Hargro state.
00:22:44As long as it stayed on him, the curse would keep spreading, and every Hargro tied to this
00:22:49land by blood would carry the same death sentence.
00:22:52Only a Whitmore could even see the mark.
00:22:55Only a Whitmore could remove it.
00:22:56They needed me.
00:22:58That was a fact.
00:22:59But the only reason I was here was to take back what the Hargro's stole from us, the silver
00:23:03arrow of Whitmore.
00:23:04I stood over Eleanor, looking down at her shaking shoulders, and all I could think of
00:23:08was how she used to call me sweetheart while she watched the flames swallow me alive.
00:23:11I slowly pulled my skirt out of her grip.
00:23:13I can't break the Hargro curse.
00:23:14There was not a single trace of emotion in my voice.
00:23:16I did not owe her that much.
00:23:18Eleanor nor froze.
00:23:19The invitation in her hands crumbled at the edges.
00:23:21Then Callum walked in from the hallway.
00:23:22He was younger than I remembered.
00:23:23Sharper and more arrogant, with all that ugly pride still sitting right on the surface.
00:23:26His eyes swept over me and stopped on the scar crossing my face.
00:23:29For one second, he went still.
00:23:31The scar was silver, winding across half my cheek and glowing faintly in the morning light.
00:23:35It did not look like an ordinary wound.
00:23:37It looked like something ancient had pressed itself into my skin and left its mark there.
00:23:40His disgust was almost impossible to miss.
00:23:42He turned his face away slightly like he could barely stand to look at it.
00:23:45I noticed.
00:23:45I said nothing.
00:23:47In my past life, I had walked through this same door with an untouched face, and he had
00:23:50smiled at me so beautifully.
00:23:51Every warm word had been perfectly calculated.
00:23:54Now that I had a scar, the mask slipped at once.
00:23:57That told me everything.
00:23:58He did not need a person.
00:23:59He needed a tool.
00:24:01And apparently he preferred his tools pretty.
00:24:03Callum stepped closer, his voice sharp with disbelief.
00:24:05What the hell is that supposed to mean?
00:24:07We came here in good faith, and you won't even give us a reason?
00:24:10You're telling me one curse is too much for a Whitmore?
00:24:13He moved into my space like he was used to people backing down when he did.
00:24:16I only looked at him.
00:24:18Go ahead.
00:24:19Look down on me, Callum.
00:24:20You have no idea that the mark on your forehead is getting darker every day, and the only person
00:24:25in this entire world who can see it, the only one who can take it off you, is standing
00:24:29right in front of you while you make that face.
00:24:31Eleanor started crying harder.
00:24:33Her hands shook as she pulled a heavy envelope from her coat.
00:24:37The wax seal bore an old, dark gold crest.
00:24:40We have nowhere else to turn.
00:24:41Please, just look at this, for the sake of what our families once meant to each other.
00:24:47I almost did not bother.
00:24:49But the moment my eyes touched the seal, my silver sight flared.
00:24:52A pulse of silver light cut through the surface of the wax, and beneath it, clear and understakeable,
00:24:58was the trace of a Whitmore silver arrow.
00:25:02The silver arrow was the most sacred relic of the Whitmore bloodline.
00:25:05The Hargroves had stolen it from us, and it had been lost for generations.
00:25:11I only learned the truth as I was dying in my past life when it was already too late to
00:25:16do anything about it.
00:25:17Now I knew exactly where it was.
00:25:19That was the real reason I would walk into Hargrove Hall.
00:25:22Not Callum.
00:25:23The arrow.
00:25:25Callum saw me take it, and his whole body relaxed.
00:25:28He lifted his chin slightly, satisfaction spreading across his face.
00:25:32He had already decided I was still hung up on him, that I had finally given in because of old
00:25:36feelings.
00:25:37Then he turned on that warm, reasonable voice.
00:25:40The one that used to make me believe every word.
00:25:42Good.
00:25:43All you have to do is come with us, and suppress the curse.
00:25:46Once I'm better, I'll make sure you're rewarded.
00:25:48The Hargroves take care of people who prove useful to us.
00:25:51He said it like he was doing me a favor.
00:25:53Like I was something he could summon, use, and dismiss whenever it suited him.
00:25:57I looked at him slowly.
00:25:58The way you look at something that does not know it is already finished.
00:26:02I'm going to Hargrove Hall to take back what belongs to the Whitmore family.
00:26:06I was never doing this for you.
00:26:07The smile on his face died, died completely.
00:26:12The next morning, the man had everything packed before I came downstairs.
00:26:16Lady, the carriages are here.
00:26:18He was the boy the Whitmore family had taken in years ago.
00:26:21Quiet, precise, and so still that most people mistook him for cold.
00:26:25Since I came back, he was the only person who looked straight at the scar on my face without flinching
00:26:29or glancing away.
00:26:30Two Harkron carriages were waiting outside.
00:26:33Eleanor had one to herself, and the other was meant for Callum and me.
00:26:36Jenna, who supposedly could not handle the mountain road, was supposed to have her own space.
00:26:40I was about to step into the second carriage when a voice cut across the courtyard.
00:26:44Wait!
00:26:45Callum, I want to ride with you!
00:26:46She ran toward us with her skirts gathered in both hands, her cheeks flushed and her eyes red at the
00:26:51rims,
00:26:51as if she had already been crying.
00:26:53She was the girl the Hargroves had taken in years ago, the orphan daughter of some distant relation.
00:26:58She had grown up inside the estate walls, right beside Callum.
00:27:01Everyone said she was sweet and innocent, the one person Callum protected more than anyone else.
00:27:06She had a white silk scarf in her hands.
00:27:08Before Callum could answer, she was already looping it around his neck and smoothing it down with both palms.
00:27:14The mountain road is freezing. I don't want you getting sick again.
00:27:16Callum did not move away from her hands.
00:27:18In my past life, I thought she was only being kind.
00:27:20This time, my silver sight caught the edge of the scarf the moment it touched him.
00:27:24Faint dark lines were woven into the silk, forming the exact pattern of a serpent mark.
00:27:28Callum did not see any of it.
00:27:29He was already brushing a loose strand of hair away from Jenna's face.
00:27:32Jenna turned to me with wide, apologetic eyes.
00:27:34Lady Rowena, I hope you don't mind. I won't take up much space, I promise.
00:27:38She did not wait for my answer.
00:27:39She climbed in ahead of me.
00:27:41I watched her settle beside Callum and push me toward the window seat without even looking at me.
00:27:45I said nothing.
00:27:47Jenna, last time I missed every move you made.
00:27:49This time I'm gonna watch every single one.
00:27:51The carriage wound its way up the wet cobblestone road towards the Hargraf estate.
00:27:55There was barely enough room for two people to sit comfortably,
00:27:57and Jenna had made sure she stayed pressed against Callum for the entire ride.
00:28:01Every time the wheels hit a rough patch, she let out a soft, breathy sound and leaned into his shoulder.
00:28:06The timing was perfect, always within my line of sight, like a little performance stage just for me.
00:28:10Callum, I feel so dizzy. I can barely breathe.
00:28:13She twisted her fingers into the front of his shirt, lifting her eyes just enough to catch the light,
00:28:18looking soft and helpless and miserable.
00:28:20In my past life, watching this would have made me want to shrink into myself and disappear.
00:28:24Now I only sat still and watched her work.
00:28:27Callum noticed me looking. His expression hardened at once.
00:28:29He tightened his arm around Jenna and turned his face away from me,
00:28:32like even the air on my side of the carriage disgusted him.
00:28:35Rowena, stop staring. Jenna is kind and gentle, not that you would know anything about that.
00:28:38And stop using that face to scare her.
00:28:39Jenna reached over and touched his arm gently.
00:28:41Callum, don't. Lady Rowena probably doesn't mean it.
00:28:44She knows exactly what she's doing. She's had it out for you since the moment she saw you.
00:28:48Maybe she just doesn't like me. It's alright, I'm used to it.
00:28:51That is her problem, not yours. I don't care what she thinks.
00:28:53I did not answer. In my past life, that exchange would have hollowed me out for days.
00:28:58Now I only filed it away. Every word. Every dismissal. I was keeping track.
00:29:02At the same time, through the silver sight, I could see what was really happening.
00:29:06Dark energy was seeping from the coral bracelet on Jenna's wrist,
00:29:09winding along Callum's collar and pushing inch by inch into the skin at the back of his neck.
00:29:14She was not dizzy. She was feeding the serpent.
00:29:16Callum, the sweet innocent girl you're so desperate to protect,
00:29:19is poisoning you right now, and you're holding her tighter.
00:29:21He pulled her closer and pressed his cheek against the top of her head, completely blind.
00:29:26By midday, the carriages stopped in front of the Hargreth family's main residence.
00:29:29This was not Hargreth Hall. Not the old estate with the serpent gate buried beneath it.
00:29:34The hall stood deeper inside the grounds, behind a locked inner courtyard that almost never opened.
00:29:38This was only where the family lived.
00:29:40When Jenna stepped down from the carriage, she grabbed the doorbrain,
00:29:42her face going pale, and sagged into Callum's side.
00:29:45I'm fine. Just cold. My legs feel strange.
00:29:48Callum wrapped an arm around her at once.
00:29:50The look he sent me over her shoulder made it clear that somehow this was supposed to be my fault.
00:29:53We passed through the front entrance hall. The moment we crossed the threshold, my silver sight erupted.
00:29:58Dark serpent energy crawled across every wall and ceiling, coiling and shifting like something alive.
00:30:03It hulged at anyone with Hargreth blood, then recoiled the second it touched the silver light of my mark,
00:30:08shrieking back into the cracks.
00:30:10Jenna was walking ahead.
00:30:11I watched her cross the threshold, and I saw the exact moment her shoe came down
00:30:15on the protection line hidden beneath the doorframe.
00:30:18It was not an accident.
00:30:20The movement was too precise.
00:30:21The line snapped. The energy that had been held down broke loose all at once,
00:30:25and a wave of freezing air tore down the corridor like a blade.
00:30:28Oh God!
00:30:29Callum, help me!
00:30:30She stumbled backwards straight into his arms, clean and practiced, like a stage fall.
00:30:34Callum caught her without even looking.
00:30:36One arm locked across her chest, and his first words were from me.
00:30:39Rowena!
00:30:39Jenna! What the hell are you doing just standing there?
00:30:43You're a Whitmore!
00:30:45You're supposed to handle this!
00:30:47If Jenna gets hurt because of you, I swear you'll answer for it.
00:30:51I raised one hand, a silver seal dropped across the corridor,
00:30:54and the serpent energy shrank back into the walls.
00:30:57The hallway went still.
00:30:58I looked at Callum.
00:31:00You're welcome.
00:31:01I let the silence stretch for a moment.
00:31:03Then I lowered my gaze to the broken line on the floor,
00:31:05before slowly lifting my eyes to Jenna's shoes.
00:31:08You might want to ask how that line broke in the first place.
00:31:11Callum's brow tightened.
00:31:13In his arms, Jenna's eyes filled with tears at once.
00:31:15Her lower lip trembled as she looked up at him, as if she was the one being attacked.
00:31:18Callum looked between us and clenched his jaw.
00:31:21What exactly are you accusing her of?
00:31:23Nothing.
00:31:24Just giving you advice.
00:31:26While you're in this house, pay attention to what's right in front of you.
00:31:28Then I walked toward the sitting room without looking back.
00:31:31When we settled into the sitting room,
00:31:33Eleanor came in herself with a tray of peach blossom tea.
00:31:36Steam curled slowly from each cup.
00:31:38You must be exhausted after that ride, sweetheart.
00:31:40I made this myself.
00:31:42Drink it while it's hot.
00:31:43It will calm your nerves.
00:31:45She had the warmth turned all the way on.
00:31:46Deep smile lines, a gentle voice, every inch the loving grandmother.
00:31:50Jenna sat beside Callum.
00:31:51She picked up his cup first, blew on it softly, and placed it in his hands.
00:31:54Drink it while it's hot.
00:31:56It'll warm you up.
00:31:57In my past life, I fell for all of it.
00:31:58I drank the tea, and by nightfall my silver sight was almost blind.
00:32:02The poison had worked slowly and silently the whole time.
00:32:05When I tried to suppress the serpents that night,
00:32:07I kept making the wrong calls, and one of them tore my palm open.
00:32:10I burned with fever for three days straight.
00:32:12And Jenna had been there the entire time,
00:32:13smiling sweetly as she added a spoonful of sugar to my cup.
00:32:16Something sweet makes everything less bitter, Lady Rowena.
00:32:18This time, I looked into my cup through the silver sight.
00:32:20The tea should have been pale amber, but beneath the surface it was deep crimson.
00:32:23Something small and dark moved along the bottom.
00:32:25I picked up the cup and drank most of it.
00:32:28I let none of it touch me.
00:32:29Under the cover of my sleeve, I pressed two fingers to my wrist and sealed my throat and
00:32:33chest with a silver seal.
00:32:35The poison slammed into the barrier and thrashed like a trapped thing, but it got nowhere.
00:32:39Jenna kept her eyes on my face the whole time.
00:32:41She was waiting for my gaze to blur, waiting for the sight to go dark.
00:32:44When I set the cup down, breathing evenly and looking straight back at her,
00:32:47I saw the corner of her smile crack.
00:32:49Just a twitch.
00:32:50Just one second.
00:32:51But it was there.
00:32:52Lucien picked up his own cup, gave it one slow sniff,
00:32:55then turned and poured the whole thing into the planter beside his chair.
00:32:59Too sweet.
00:33:00Hides the taste of rot.
00:33:01Eleanor's expression flickered.
00:33:03Calatin's eyes sharpened.
00:33:04My grandmother made that tea herself.
00:33:06You want to explain what the hell you're doing?
00:33:08I just did.
00:33:08Lucien looked at him calmly.
00:33:10Callum's face turned ugly.
00:33:11He was about to snap back when Jenna laid a hand on his arm.
00:33:14Callum, don't.
00:33:15We asked them to come here.
00:33:16It's fine, really.
00:33:17She said it in that soft, peacemaking voice.
00:33:19But as she lifted her own cup back to her lips,
00:33:22her eyes slid sideways to me, patient, calculating,
00:33:25waiting to see something that was never going to happen.
00:33:28I looked at her and said nothing.
00:33:30Jenna, I'm just getting started.
00:33:31Next time, I'll make sure you see it coming.
00:33:34The welcome dinner that night was exactly the kind of show the Hargroves loved to put on.
00:33:37Candles stretched down the table,
00:33:39silver gleamed at every place setting,
00:33:41and there was more food than anyone could finish.
00:33:43Jenna sat to Callum's left, cutting her food with careful, effortless grace.
00:33:47Then she set down her knife, turned to me,
00:33:49and spoke in the softest, most concerned voice she had.
00:33:51Ladies Rowena, I've been meaning to ask you something.
00:33:54With a scar like that on your face,
00:33:56do people avoid you when you go out?
00:33:57You must feel so lonely.
00:33:59I can't even imagine.
00:34:01Perfectly worded, perfectly gentle,
00:34:03loud enough for every servant in the room to hear,
00:34:05I held my knife and fork and did not respond.
00:34:07Jenna, don't say it like that.
00:34:09She's a guest, you'll embarrass her.
00:34:11In my past life, I had actually been grateful for that.
00:34:13I thought he was standing up for me.
00:34:15Now I could see it clearly.
00:34:17He did not care whether I was humiliated.
00:34:19He just needed me to walk into that hall tomorrow night,
00:34:21and a scene at dinner would make things harder.
00:34:23That sentence was for him, not for me.
00:34:26Jenna's face crumpled at once.
00:34:27Her eyes filled.
00:34:28I didn't mean it that way.
00:34:30I was worried about her.
00:34:31Callum, why are you making it sound like I did something wrong?
00:34:34Her voice broke on the last word.
00:34:35Two tears slipped down her face.
00:34:37And just like that, Callum changed.
00:34:39The hardness left him, and his voice turned low and gentle.
00:34:43I know you didn't.
00:34:44I'm sorry.
00:34:46I shouldn't have said it like that.
00:34:48Lucian set down his silverware.
00:34:49I have a question.
00:34:50Is this how the Hargroves treat guests they begged for help?
00:34:53Every sound at the table stopped.
00:34:55Jenna's tears paused mid-fall.
00:34:57Callum's head snapped up,
00:34:58and the look he gave Lucian was full of real anger.
00:35:01Who the hell do you think you are?
00:35:02Nobody asked for your opinion!
00:35:03Lucian did not move.
00:35:04He only held Callum's gaze and took his time answering.
00:35:07I came with Lady Whitmore.
00:35:09As long as she is here,
00:35:10I have every right to speak.
00:35:12Callum pressed one hand flat against the edge of the table.
00:35:14His jaw tightened, and his face went pale with fury.
00:35:16Rowena, control your people.
00:35:18I set my wine glass down slowly and looked at him.
00:35:21He's right.
00:35:22Callum, I came because your family begged me to save you.
00:35:24I did not come here to be insulted at your dinner table.
00:35:27If you can't understand the difference,
00:35:28I don't need to enter that hall tomorrow.
00:35:30I can leave tonight.
00:35:32Silence fell over the room.
00:35:33Then Callum exhaled through his nose,
00:35:35forced down his anger and ground out the words like they hurt.
00:35:38After dinner, I'll have Chester bring out the legacy book.
00:35:41I picked up my wine glass again and said nothing.
00:35:43Dinner ended, and I asked for the Hargro legacy book,
00:35:45the family's hand-print record dating back to 1840.
00:35:48It doored it how the serpent gate was first sealed, and why.
00:35:50If the silver arrow was hidden somewhere on these grounds,
00:35:52there would be a trace of it in those pages.
00:35:55Callum's face tightened at once.
00:35:57It's a dusty old record book.
00:35:59You're here to deal with the curse,
00:36:01not dig through our family history.
00:36:03If I'm going to suppress what's down there,
00:36:04I need to know what caused it.
00:36:06The answer is in that book.
00:36:07Is that too hard for you to understand?
00:36:08He opened his mouth to argue,
00:36:09and Jenna let out a sharp little cry.
00:36:10Her elbow caught the wine bottle at the edge of the table.
00:36:12It tipped over and spilled half its contents
00:36:13across the tablecloth in a dark red wave.
00:36:15Servants rushed forward,
00:36:16and the moment broke apart.
00:36:17I'm so sorry.
00:36:18I'm so sorry.
00:36:19My hands are so shaky tonight.
00:36:20Callum leaned over and took her hands in his,
00:36:23checking them with a deep frown.
00:36:24You didn't cut yourself.
00:36:25It's just a bottle.
00:36:26It doesn't matter.
00:36:26Then he looked at me sideways,
00:36:28contempt clear in his eyes.
00:36:29All this over one old book?
00:36:31Did you really have to push that hard
00:36:32and scare her like that?
00:36:33What is this, an interrogation?
00:36:35I was not looking at him.
00:36:36Through the silver sight,
00:36:37I watched dark serpent energy
00:36:38pour from Jenna's sleeve
00:36:39and curl around the cabinet
00:36:40where the legacy book was kept
00:36:42like a hand pressing the doors shut.
00:36:44She had not dropped the bottle
00:36:45because her hands were unsteady.
00:36:47She had dropped it to keep that cabinet closed.
00:36:49I raised one hand.
00:36:50A silver seal shot across the room
00:36:51and pinned the serpent energy
00:36:52flat against the cabinet doors.
00:36:53Jenna went white.
00:36:54Lucien walked to the cabinet,
00:36:55opened it without asking
00:36:56and looked calmly at Chester in the corner.
00:36:58Chester, bring out the legacy book.
00:36:59Chester hesitated.
00:37:00Then he lowered his head,
00:37:01took the yellowed leather valiant wooden box
00:37:02inside the cabinet
00:37:03and held it out with both hands.
00:37:04I took it and opened it.
00:37:05I caught sight of the serpent brand
00:37:06running along the edge of Chester's sleeve.
00:37:07I filed it away.
00:37:08The first several pages of the legacy book
00:37:10had been cut out.
00:37:11Clean cuts.
00:37:12Blade cuts.
00:37:13Nothing old about them.
00:37:14Callum glanced over and dismissed it
00:37:16without missing a beat.
00:37:17It's a 150-year-old book.
00:37:18Pages go missing.
00:37:19That's not suspicious.
00:37:20That's time.
00:37:21Jenna stepped in right on cue.
00:37:24Exactly.
00:37:25Lady Rowena,
00:37:25the Hargroves have been a respectable family
00:37:27for generations.
00:37:28There's nothing to hide here.
00:37:29Don't you think you're reading too much into this?
00:37:31I ignored them both
00:37:32and bent over the torn edges,
00:37:33looking through the silver sight.
00:37:34There it was,
00:37:35buried in the yellowed fringe,
00:37:36the faint silver glow of dried Whitmore blood,
00:37:38ancient and thin.
00:37:39Tangled through it was the serpent energy
00:37:41from the bracelet on Jenna's wrist,
00:37:42the exact same signature.
00:37:43She was the one who had cut out those pages,
00:37:45which meant she had known about
00:37:46the silver arrow all along.
00:37:48I was about to speak
00:37:49when the death mark on Callum's forehead split open.
00:37:52Serpent energy burst through his veins all at once
00:37:54and the whole study shook.
00:37:56From deep inside Hargrove Hall
00:37:57came a low, grinding sound,
00:37:59like something massive turning in its sleep.
00:38:01Callum's legs buckled.
00:38:02He caught the edge of a shelf,
00:38:04his face white,
00:38:05his teeth clenched,
00:38:06his breath coming in sharp pulls.
00:38:08Eleanor rushed across the room
00:38:09and grabbed my arm.
00:38:10Rowene, please,
00:38:11go tonight,
00:38:12you're the only one who can stop it.
00:38:14Please.
00:38:14I closed the legacy book.
00:38:16I'll enter Hargrove Hall tonight,
00:38:17but I'm going to question the serpent,
00:38:19not break the curse.
00:38:20Get that straight now.
00:38:21Then I turned to Jenna.
00:38:22My voice stayed calm,
00:38:23but every person in the room
00:38:24heard me one more thing.
00:38:25During the ritual tonight,
00:38:26Jenna does not come anywhere near the main hall.
00:38:28Her energy is corrupt.
00:38:28If she gets close,
00:38:29she'll provoke what's down there
00:38:30and the entire formation will collapse.
00:38:32This is not a request.
00:38:33It's a condition.
00:38:33The study went completely silent.
00:38:35Jenna blinked.
00:38:37Then her head lowered
00:38:38and tears rolled down her face without a sound.
00:38:41Callum pushed himself up from the shelf,
00:38:43still pale and tight with pain,
00:38:45and turned on me at once.
00:38:46On what grounds?
00:38:48Jenna came all this way
00:38:49because she was worried about me.
00:38:50You don't get to throw her out in the cold
00:38:51just because you hate her.
00:38:52On the grounds that if I walk in tonight,
00:38:54you live.
00:38:55Callum stayed quiet,
00:38:56but it was not over.
00:38:57He steadied himself against the shelf
00:38:59and started again a few seconds later.
00:39:01Even if you have to enter the hall tonight,
00:39:02that does not give you the right
00:39:03to leave Jenna outside alone.
00:39:04She scares easily.
00:39:06What if something happens
00:39:06and you are not there?
00:39:07Are you going to take responsibility for that?
00:39:09Jenna's tears fell faster,
00:39:10but she still reached out
00:39:11and grabbed Callum's sleeve with both hands.
00:39:12Callum, please don't fight with Lady Rowena.
00:39:14This is my fault.
00:39:14I shouldn't have come.
00:39:15You go in and let her do what she needs to do.
00:39:17Don't worry about me.
00:39:18I'll wait outside.
00:39:19I just want you safe.
00:39:19That's all I want.
00:39:20Every word landed exactly where she wanted it to.
00:39:23Callum's chest rose and fell hard.
00:39:25Then he turned all that anger on me.
00:39:27You hear that?
00:39:28She's willing to stand out there alone in the dark
00:39:30just to make things easier for you.
00:39:32What kind of person are you?
00:39:33Jenna stays by the door tonight.
00:39:35No one is stopping her.
00:39:36I looked at them without anger.
00:39:38I was not even surprised.
00:39:40This was the same performance
00:39:41they had put on in my past life.
00:39:43Jenna cried,
00:39:44Callum exploded,
00:39:45and every bit of blame in the room
00:39:46landed on me while they clung to each other.
00:39:48Perfectly timed.
00:39:50Perfectly practiced.
00:39:52I turned toward Hargrim Hall
00:39:53and spoke without looking back.
00:39:56Fine.
00:39:57Then keep your eyes open tonight.
00:40:00Whatever happens,
00:40:01don't come crying to me.
00:40:04Behind me,
00:40:05I heard Callum murmur to Jenna.
00:40:07You're okay.
00:40:09I'm right here.
00:40:10I walked into the dark of Hargmite Hall
00:40:12without turning around.
00:40:13I already knew he would open that door for her
00:40:14when the time came.
00:40:15And the harder he fought to protect her tonight,
00:40:17the worse the backlash would hit him.
00:40:18The main hall of Hargrave Hall.
00:40:20The wind howled through the walls
00:40:21like something was trying to claw its way out.
00:40:24The old chandelier swung overhead,
00:40:25its candles throwing long, crooked shadows
00:40:27across the room.
00:40:28The estate had gone still,
00:40:30except for the dull shiver
00:40:31that rolled up from beneath the floor
00:40:32every few minutes.
00:40:33Whatever had been sleeping down there
00:40:35was starting to wake.
00:40:35I stood in the center of the hall and focused.
00:40:38Whitmore blood ignited in my veins.
00:40:40Silver seals poured out of me in rings,
00:40:42spreading across the floor
00:40:43like a net of cold light,
00:40:45pressing the serpent energy
00:40:46back into the walls and stone.
00:40:48Building a formation like this
00:40:49burned through everything I had.
00:40:51Power, focus, and sheer will.
00:40:53But I did not let it show.
00:40:55My hands were steady.
00:40:57My face was calm.
00:40:59Callum stood on the far side of the formation,
00:41:01supported by the old butler.
00:41:03The death mark on his forehead
00:41:05pulsed blood red in the silver light.
00:41:07He was shaking,
00:41:08yet he still looked at me
00:41:09like he was doing me a favor
00:41:10by letting me help.
00:41:11How sure are you about this?
00:41:13I did not look at him.
00:41:14Sure enough.
00:41:15A pause.
00:41:16I need more than questions.
00:41:17I need the death mark gone completely.
00:41:19Can you actually do that?
00:41:20I turned and looked at him properly
00:41:22for the first time.
00:41:23Callum, the only reason I'm standing in this room
00:41:25is because the silver arrow is here.
00:41:27Not because of you.
00:41:29Whether that mark comes off at all
00:41:31depends on whether the Hargroves
00:41:33start paying what they owe the Whitmans.
00:41:35We can discuss that later.
00:41:36He wanted to argue.
00:41:38Then the death mark tore at him again.
00:41:40And the sound that left his throat
00:41:41was not one he meant to make.
00:41:43He swallowed it down hard.
00:41:44Palm up.
00:41:45Catch the light from the core of the formation.
00:41:47Whatever you hear, whatever you see,
00:41:48do not move.
00:41:49This creature follows Hargrove blood.
00:41:51If you move, the backlash will bury you
00:41:52and I will not be able to pull you out.
00:41:53Callum raised his trembling right hand.
00:41:55This time, he said nothing.
00:41:57The last seal fell into place.
00:41:59The stone floor cracked with a deep,
00:42:01grinding boom that rose through the soles of my feet.
00:42:04The eternal flame in its copper lamp guttled
00:42:06until it was almost gone
00:42:08and the temperature dropped.
00:42:09So fast it felt like the walls themselves
00:42:11were breathing out ice.
00:42:13The floor began to shake in small, rapid tremors.
00:42:16White mist bled up through the cracks,
00:42:18spreading low and thick across the ground,
00:42:20catching the faint silver light of my formation.
00:42:23Then, from the center of the mist,
00:42:25she came.
00:42:27Althea.
00:42:28A thousand-year-old serpent,
00:42:30white as bone,
00:42:31as large as a river dragon,
00:42:33with golden-slit eyes burning in the dark
00:42:35like two cold fires.
00:42:36Decades of rage, grief, and imprisonment
00:42:39moved through the air around her,
00:42:41like a physical force.
00:42:43The servants screamed.
00:42:46Eleanor collapsed to her knees.
00:42:48Callum made a sound he probably did not mean to make,
00:42:51as the death mark nearly tore itself open
00:42:53under the pressure of her presence.
00:42:56But when those golden eyes swept across the hall
00:42:58and found me, they stopped.
00:43:01She recognized something.
00:43:03The covenant.
00:43:04The silver light around me.
00:43:06Something older than her rage.
00:43:08Althea went still in a way she had not been still in years.
00:43:12Then she lowered her slowly,
00:43:14all the way to my feet.
00:43:16A low, grieving sound came from her throat,
00:43:19like a creature finally standing before the person it had been waiting for.
00:43:22No one in the room could speak.
00:43:24Callum's breathing was loud,
00:43:25raggled, and stunned.
00:43:27He had spent his whole life under the shadow
00:43:29of what she had done to his family.
00:43:31He had never expected to see her bow.
00:43:33I crouched and touched her scales.
00:43:36They were cold, smooth, and faintly luminous.
00:43:40Althea, I need to ask you something.
00:43:42The silver arrow,
00:43:43the one taken from the Whitmore family a hundred years ago
00:43:45and brought into this estate.
00:43:46Where is it?
00:43:47Her whole body convulsed.
00:43:49She reared halfway up,
00:43:50her great tail striking the stone floor,
00:43:52as she pointed deeper into the estate.
00:43:55Somewhere farther in.
00:43:57One more step.
00:43:58One answer.
00:43:59That was all it would have taken.

00:44:10Because we're divorced.
00:44:13What do you mean divorce?
00:44:15The moment the woman overhears her husband telling them
00:44:17they are already divorced,
00:44:18she rushes over in disbelief to confront him.
00:44:20Just three days earlier,
00:44:21she was so distracted by a call with her first love
00:44:24that she signed the divorce papers without reading them.
00:44:26The man knew that his wife had been treating him
00:44:28as nothing more than a stand-in for her ex
00:44:30throughout the past five years.
00:44:31When she learned that her ex had returned to the country,
00:44:33she even moved him into their home
00:44:35and forced her husband to wait on them both.
00:44:36When the man was injured while trying to protect her,
00:44:38she ignored him.
00:44:39...to care for her ex,
00:44:41who was fainting sickness.
00:44:42Unable to endure the situation any longer,
00:44:44he decided to leave.
00:44:45Welcome back, Hugo.
00:44:47You ready to get to work?
00:44:48Hugo!
00:44:49Hugo!
00:44:51Hugo!
00:44:51Hugo!
00:44:52Hugo!
00:44:52Hugo!
00:57:57Qu'est-ce que c'est ce que c'est pour ?
00:57:59Tell me que ma fille m'a finally kicked votre culpabilité à l'air !
00:58:04Non, Harry, je suis à l'air d'autre côté.
00:58:08Qu'est-ce que vous pensez ?
00:58:11Vous n'avez pas à juste milter ma fille et ne pas travailler pour ça !
00:58:16Oh, c'est ça !
00:58:20J'ai mes shoes, boy !
00:58:23Je vais voir ce que j'ai prévu pour ça !
00:58:27Qu'est-ce que tu fais ma next ?
00:58:32Oh !
00:58:32Don't tip him !
00:58:33That's my husband !
00:58:35Oh my god, Hugo !
00:58:37I didn't even...
00:58:38I thought you were the maid !
00:58:39Brice !
00:58:41Mwah !
00:58:43I'm so happy to hear you're moving in !
00:58:45Wait, what ?
00:58:47Brice is moving in ?
00:58:48Yeah !
00:58:49Oh, quit sulking about it !
00:58:51It has nothing to do with you !
00:58:52It's my house, so...
00:58:53I get to decide !
00:58:54Finally !
00:58:55Now Brice and Sheila can be together !
00:58:57Oh !
00:58:58Well, I don't want to be a homewrecker !
00:59:00Wreck what ?
00:59:01You're rich, successful, handsome !
00:59:04Unlike her dog of a husband, Hugo !
00:59:06Oh, Harriet !
00:59:07Surely you're not calling Hugo a dog !
00:59:09Sheila's little bitch !
00:59:12Mom ?
00:59:13Brice ?
00:59:14Oh, don't get upset !
00:59:15They're just teasing !
00:59:17Not upset !
00:59:19Not at all !
00:59:20Excuse me !
00:59:22Wait !
00:59:22Where are you going ?
00:59:24Does it matter ?
00:59:25Hugo, if you feel uncomfortable with me staying here, I can get a hotel !
00:59:29Oh, no !
00:59:29You're staying here !
00:59:30Because I could use the company !
00:59:33Sure !
00:59:34I can rent out one of those nice presidential suites we can try on the headboard !
00:59:39Hugo is the only one who should be going to a hotel !
00:59:42As you wish !
00:59:44Wait !
00:59:45Hugo !
00:59:46There's enough room in the house for both you and Brice !
00:59:49Ah !
00:59:50Oh !
00:59:51Oh !
00:59:52Bryce !
00:59:52Bryce !
00:59:53Are you okay ?
00:59:54I'll be fine !
00:59:56It's just that...
00:59:57First class really does a number on my back !
00:59:59Yeah, I understand !
01:00:00Well, we'll handle that immediately !
01:00:02Hugo !
01:00:03Go upstairs !
01:00:04And run him an ex-missile bath !
01:00:05Oh, thank you !
01:00:05Quickly !
01:00:07Well ?
01:00:08Chop, chop !
01:00:09Bryce can run his own bath !
01:00:11Why are you being so rude ?
01:00:13Bryce is our guest and he's in pain for God's sake !
01:00:16Ah !
01:00:16It's not my problem !
01:00:18What has gotten into you ?
01:00:20Sheila, it's okay !
01:00:21If I had to run my wife's ex-missile bath, I'd be crying too !
01:00:25You was this piece of shit !
01:00:26You are not half the man, Bryce !
01:00:28Oh, Harriet !
01:00:29Don't worry about it !
01:00:30Sheila knows how to fix my back right now !
01:00:33You know what would really fix my back ?
01:00:36Taking my two ladies to a reservation at La Rizia !
01:00:43How did you get a table ?
01:00:44I pulled a few strings !
01:00:47Hugo can come too !
01:00:49Yeah, we can get him a spot at the bar !
01:00:54Thank you so much, Bryce !
01:00:56Thank you so much, Bryce !
01:00:58Give me your what ?
01:00:59Bitch !
01:01:01Sheila, what ?
01:01:02No !
01:01:07No !
01:01:07No !
01:01:09No !
01:01:10No !
01:01:12No !
01:01:13No !
01:01:13No !
01:01:13No !
01:01:14No !
01:01:14No !
01:01:15No !
01:01:16No !
01:01:16No !
01:01:16No !
01:01:16No !
01:01:18That's a pretty brave thing you did there, Hugo !
01:01:21No !
01:01:21It's too bad I can't let you be the hero !
01:01:24No !
01:01:25No !
01:01:25No !
01:01:25Oh, does that hurt ?
01:01:26Does that hurt ?
01:01:29No !
01:01:29You're almost as tight as your wife !
01:01:33Ah !
01:01:34Go !
01:01:34His son of a bitch got me !
01:01:35Bryce !
01:01:36Oh my god !
01:01:36Oh my god !
01:01:37Oh my god !
01:01:38What happened ?
01:01:38I tried to find out the mugger but he cut me !
01:01:41I should've just ran away like Hugo !
01:01:44Coward !
01:01:44You abandoned Bryce and almost got him killed !
01:01:47Fuck !
01:01:47I've been stabbed !
01:01:48Hugo !
01:01:49Do you mind ?
01:01:50Bryce got hurt trying to protect us !
01:01:52Jesus Christ !
01:01:53Hugo !
01:01:54You can walk to the hospital !
01:01:55Oh my god.
01:01:56Bryce, look at all this blood !
01:01:57I'll die !
01:01:58If I die ...
01:02:00I'm just happy I could've saved you, Sheila !
01:02:02No-no-no !
01:02:03I don't let you die !

01:04:47Qu'est-ce que tu es divorcée ?
01:04:54Qui ?
01:04:55Ou est-ce que tu te dis que tu es divorcée ?
01:04:56C'est ce que tu es trying de chier avec ?
01:05:00Sheila, c'est le temps que je te dis.
01:05:02Nous sommes officiellement divorcée.
01:05:06Non, non, ça ne peut pas être.
01:05:08Tu as signé le paperwork déjà !
01:05:11C'est impossible !
01:05:13Je n'ai pas signé les choses !
01:05:14Tu as signé le matin dans la maison.
01:05:18Oui.
01:05:20Oui.
01:05:20Je suis là.
01:05:22Non, ça n'a pas plus sens.
01:05:25Hugo !
01:05:27Je suis désolée que je m'aimais.
01:05:30Tu sais quoi ?
01:05:31C'est bon, Grice.
01:05:32Je suis juste qu'il y avait.
01:05:34C'est bon.
01:05:35C'est bon ?
01:05:36Alors, c'est bon ?
01:05:36Alors, c'est bon ?
01:05:38Sheila, c'est un peu plus grand.
01:05:40Tu peux faire ça si tu veux.
01:05:44Oh !
01:05:45Oh !
01:05:46Oh, my God !
01:05:48Hugo !
01:05:52I am so sorry about him.
01:05:56Ok.
01:05:57Oh, my God.
01:05:59C'est bon.
01:06:01Non.
01:06:02C'est bon.
01:06:04C'est bon.
01:06:06C'est bon.
01:06:09C'est parti !
