01:18Marco laughed softly.
01:20Everyone knows she's mine.
01:22She waited seven years for me.
01:24Even if she pulls a red token, who would dare let her on his boat?
01:30She's easy to fool.
01:33Once I take Bianca onto my boat, you just tell her Nomno collapsed again and she needs to go home.
01:39Next year, I'll marry her with the greatest wedding.
01:42Every mafia family will know she is my wife.
01:44The red token slipped silently from my hand.
01:48Tokens scattered across the ground.
01:51Then, I did back home.
01:53I did not tell Marco that my Nomno only had three days left.
01:58His last wish was to see me married.
02:01If Marco refused to marry me this year, I had to board another man's boat.
02:05The next morning, girls gathered outside the chapel in gowns made for weeding.
02:10Only mine was the same gown from seven years ago, faded.
02:15When I appeared, the girls around me stepped away.
02:17Serafina drew blank seven years in a row.
02:19Don't stand too close.
02:21Bad luck spreads.
02:22Papa stood on the dock, watching his men line the boats.
02:25I held my candle and walked.
02:27Papa warned me again in a low voice.
02:29Serafina, remember what you promised your grandfather.
02:32I looked at the token box.
02:33Don't worry, Papa.
02:34This year, I must get on a boat.
02:37A sudden noise from the crowd cut us off.
02:41Marco arrived.
02:42He was my fiancé, and everyone already treated him like the next Don.
02:47But his men surrounded Bianca like she was something precious.
02:52She was pale and fragile, dressed in brand new.
02:56I knew that dress.
02:58His mother, Mrs. Valenti, had sewn it herself.
03:02Marco had once hinted it was for me.
03:05I had imagined myself wearing it.
03:08If I had not heard the truth last night, I would have come today in plain clothes,
03:12just like Marco told me to.
03:14The Don's daughter breaking festival tradition in public.
03:18Papa would have been humiliated because of me.
03:21Again.
03:23The girls around us started whispering.
03:26Who gave Bianca the right to draw a token?
03:28Bianca drew every year, boarded Marco's boat every year, and never married him.
03:34She should have been disqualified by now.
03:37The moment Bianca coughed, Marco draped his coat over her shoulders.
03:41It's windy.
03:42Don't catch a cold.
03:46Bianca is just lucky.
03:48She draws a red token every time.
03:50And the rules never said getting on the boat means she has to marry.
03:53If you can't accept that, try your own luck.
03:55Don't blame anyone else when you draw a blank token.
03:57Every eye turned to me.
04:00Because the only girl unlucky enough to pull seven blanks was me, Marco's fiancé.
04:06For seven years, I watched another woman board his boat.
04:11In the past, I argued with Marco, used my place as the Don's daughter to demand Bianca be disqualified, and
04:18brought up every time he had favored her before.
04:22Last year was the worst.
04:24I grabbed Bianca and kicked her into the river.
04:30Marco sent her to the hospital, then brought his men to my house and kicked the door down while Papa
04:36was away.
04:49By the time Papa found me, I had already passed out in the water.
04:53That night, my fever hit 104.
04:56Marco chose to stay with startled Bianca and sent me only one message.
05:01If you're not dead, don't bother calling me.
05:05After that, my body could no longer handle the cold.
05:08But I still refused to give up.
05:11The moment my fever broke, I went after Marco again.
05:14I wanted an answer for those seven years.
05:18Now, I had my answer.
05:21I ignored the argument and walked straight to the token chest.
05:25Nobody wants to draw?
05:27Then I'll go first.
05:31Marco's face flickered with panic.
05:34His prepared excuse got stuck in his throat.
05:36My calmness caught him off guard.
05:39He couldn't blame me like before, then ask Papa to punish me and push me to the end of the
05:44line.
05:45Now, how could he rig the token chest in front of the whole people?
05:50What if I really drew red token?
05:53Marco walked over and took my hand.
05:58Serafina, Bianca isn't feeling well.
06:00She can't stand in the cold.
06:01Let her pull first.
06:03I just want to talk to you.
06:04I pulled frozen hand away and looked at the thick coat around Bianca's shoulders.
06:09I had stayed up all night making this as Marco's birthday gift last year.
06:14I had sewn the cuff buttons into orange blossoms for luck, pouring all my love for Marco into every stitch.
06:22Now, it was keeping Bianca warm, and the sight made my eyes ache.
06:28I'm cold too.
06:30I want to draw first.
06:31Marco did not care my words.
06:33Took my cold hands and covered them with his own to warm them.
06:37It's this cold.
06:38Why didn't you dress warmer?
06:43Stop making a scene, Sera.
06:45I know you're still angry about Bianca.
06:48The doctor said she only needs one more year to recover.
06:52Next year.
06:53I promise I'll marry you next year, waiting for me.
06:57I looked at him.
07:00Marco, do you really think I can't live without you?
07:02He laughed softly and put a simple betrothal bracelet around my wrist.
07:11You waited seven years for me.
07:13No Mafia man would dare let you onto his boat.
07:18So he had known all along.
07:20And he had been using my love as a leash.
07:24Around us, young couples were exchanging handmade bracelets as weeding token.
07:28Past every year, I had made one for Marco.
07:32He never wore them.
07:33His wrist always carried the same plain silver bracelet.
07:37I thought I had not braided it well enough,
07:39so I even paid a craftsman at the shop to teach me.
07:42But in that shop, Marco was choosing a new one.
07:46Bianca tugged the silver bracelet on his wrist.
07:49I can't believe you still wear the one I made you when we were kids.
07:52Marco smiled without saying anything.
07:55Hid the bracelet under his sleeve.
07:57I understood.
07:58No matter what I made, I could never compare to Bianca.
08:02I hid behind the shop and watched them choose new matching bracelets.
08:06They looked exactly like the one on my wrist.
08:09Thinking of that, I took mine off and threw it back to him.
08:12Marco, don't give me cheap things you bought in bulk.
08:15There is no next year.
08:16Nonna wants to see me married.
08:18This year.
08:20If Bianca boards your boat again, we are done.
08:23He did not mind.
08:24He only gave me a knowing smile.
08:27So it's still about Bianca.
08:29I told you, Bianca's like an older sister to me.
08:32She practically raised me.
08:34You've drew white tokens for seven years already.
08:36What's one more year?
08:39I'll explain to your grandfather.
08:41As he spoke, he made the call.
08:43The number on the screen was burned into my memory.
08:46It was Nono's caregiver.
08:47I panicked and rushed forward to grab his phone.
08:49If you have something to say, say it to me.
08:51Don't bother, Nono.
08:52Last week, I visited Nono at the hospital.
08:55Tubes covered his body, but he was still worried about me.
08:58And I could not stop crying.
09:00I was the one he could not let go of.
09:03He gasped for breath, forcing out each word.
09:06Sarah married.
09:08Mama cried beside him.
09:09Your Nono keeps saying Sarah has suffered for seven years without getting on a boat.
09:13He went to the Valati family to demand an answer for you.
09:19If you don't board one this year, don't come see him again.
09:22He can't take it.
09:23Back at the chapel, I knew what Marco was about to say.
09:26So I clamped my hand over his phone.
09:31Let Bianca draw first.
09:32I agree.
09:36Marco scoffed and hung up.
09:39Now you're using Nono to cheat me?
09:41Cheat him?
09:42Maybe he was right.
09:44In early spring, I sat by an open window all night until I made myself sick enough for the hospital
09:50to stop Marco and Bianca to meet Vineyard Capos.
09:54In summer, when he took Bianca sailing past the private docks with his guards,
09:59I lied that someone was following me and made him act as my personal bodyguard.
10:04In autumn, I brought pastries to his door and lied that Papa had summoned him to the estate for family
10:10business.
10:10And there were countless little things like that.
10:14A cut on my hand.
10:16A twisted ankle.
10:17A stomach ache.
10:18For seven years, I used every foolish excuse just to keep him with me a little longer.
10:26I did not argue.
10:27I let go and stepped away from the token chest.
10:30Marco waved Bianca over.
10:32She came to me.
10:33Sarah, let me go first.
10:35Maybe I'll bring you some good luck.
10:37You're so naughty.
10:38If Serafina pulls another white, she'll blame you again.
10:40Her eyes swept over me, waiting for me to lose my temper, but I didn't.
10:44I only stood quietly to the side and waited for her to drew her token.
10:49She found that boring, so she reached into the token chest and asked Marco.
10:55What were you two saying?
10:57Serafina's grandfather is sick.
10:58I'll visit him with her after the boats leave.
11:02Oh, a red token.
11:03Bianca could not hide the smug look on her face.
11:06Sorry, Sera.
11:08Marco's boat is mine again this year.
11:09Before I could answer, Marco stepped in front of her to protect her.
11:13These are the San Giovanni's rules.
11:14Your tantrum won't change them.
11:16Bianca just has better token luck.
11:19Sera, stop being petty.
11:23Let's see who dares touch my niece.
11:25I don't care if she's the Don's daughter.
11:27Mrs. Valenti hurried over and pulled Bianca into her arm.
11:30Don't be afraid, Bianca.
11:31If I say you can get on the dragon boat, then no one can stop you.
11:36I'd like to see who dares lay a hand on you.
11:38Watching them protect Bianca like that, my heart twisted once.
11:44For seven years, I had tried to please them.
11:47I remembered every birthday.
11:49I bought every gift.
11:51Whenever I visited, I helped in the kitchen, cleaned their house, and tried to make Mrs. Valenti like me.
11:58I even memorized Bianca's allergies and favorite foods.
12:03And what did I get in return?
12:05They always thought I was just throwing a tantrum.
12:08But I was only fighting for the right a fiancé should have had.
12:12Papa stood behind me and sighed.
12:17This is the family you've been desperate to marry into.
12:22We only wanted you to be happy with this.
12:26Papa, I'm drawing now.
12:28This time, I'll get Red Token.
12:34My answer was nothing like the past years, and it surprised him.
12:37Good, good.
12:39I'll wait for you.
12:40Even if it's not a Red Token, it's fine.
12:42I looked up at Marco and his mother.
12:46You're right.
12:47We follow the rules.
12:49I'm drawing Token now.
12:52Please move.
12:52As I walked past them, Mrs. Valenti froze, then grabbed my sleeve.
12:57Serafina, Marco's boat already has Bianca on it.
12:59Why draw it all?
13:01If you board another man's boat, don't ever think of entering the Valati house again.
13:08The Valentis don't take a bride another man has touched.
13:12Ma, don't say that.
13:13Marco panicked, caught between his mother and the fiancé.
13:16He had never thought he married other.
13:19He tried to reach out to block my way, but the cold look in my eyes made him pull back.
13:24I stepped around the three of them.
13:25Nonno can't wait, and neither can I.
13:29Marco, I waited seven years for you.
13:35This year, I'm done waiting.
13:40Marco panicked and blocked the token box.
13:43Why?
13:44Why can't you just back down this once?
13:49Look around, Serafina. Which one of them would dare take you?
13:52Tell me, who here would dare let Serafina Farani onto his boat?
13:57His voice went cold.
13:59Every young man looked away.
14:01Everyone on this coast knew I had chased Marco for seven years.
14:05Build a family with a woman like that, and her heart will never truly be with you.
14:10But I did not care.
14:11I never planned to marry any of them.
14:14Marco turned to me with pleading eyes.
14:16Bianca had already used the moment to board his boat and settle safely inside.
14:21Sera, just wait one more year.
14:24Marco only wants to protect me from being married off.
14:27We're all family anyway.
14:29When you marry him, you'll have to call me sister.
14:32Don't pull red token and end up with no boat to board.
14:35That would be embarrassing.
14:36After saying that, she covered her mouth and laughed.
14:39The families who hated Papa laughed too.
14:42I looked at Papa's red face, and guilt filled my chest.
14:47All these years chasing Marco had not only humiliated me, it had humiliated my family too.
14:53I had backed down too many times.
14:56I did not want to stay soft forever.
14:58I pushed Marco away and reached into the token chest.
15:02Before I could grab one, Marco pressed down on my hand.
15:05Serafina, think clearly.
15:07Bianca is already on my boat.
15:09Even if you pull red token, I won't let you board.
15:12I nodded.
15:13Of course I had thought it through.
15:15Today, I was getting on that dragon boat, no matter what.
15:21When force did not work, Marco lowered voice and pleaded again.
15:25Serafina, if you do this, I won't go see Nomno with you.
15:28Can you really let him down?
15:29I laughed softly.
15:31Marco, why do you think Nomno backed you?
15:33It was because I loved you.
15:34His face froze.
15:35I pulled my wrist free.
15:37I don't love you anymore, so Nomno won't like you either.
15:42Move.
15:43I'm drawing token.
15:44Papa's men stepped forward and pulled Marco back.
15:47He looked at me unwillingly.
15:49Serafina, you've been mine for seven years.
15:51You belong to the Valiti family.
15:54Seven years of white tokens.
15:56This year will be the same.
15:58I ignored him and searched the chest.
16:01White tokens were smooth.
16:02Red ones were rough.
16:04So the token draw was never serious.
16:06It was just a game to make everyone laugh.
16:08I had really believed my luck was that bad.
16:11Seven years.
16:12Seven blank tokens.
16:14They had made my life into a joke.
16:16Then my fingers found a rough edge I had never touched before.
16:20I pulled the token out.
16:22The whole crowd erupted.
16:27Red!
16:28Serafina drew red token!
16:31No, that's impossible!
16:33Marco tore free and kicked over the token chest.
16:36Red and white tokens flew into the air.
16:38He turned to his younger brother in panic.
16:41That's impossible.
16:42There weren't supposed to be any red tokens.
16:44His brother shrank behind the crowd, too scared to look at him.
16:47There had been too many eyes on the platform.
16:50He had never gotten the chance to tamper with it.
16:53Papa understood everything at once.
16:55Now he knew why I had drawn white tokens for seven years.
16:58His face darkened.
17:00She drew a red token.
17:01By the rules of San Giovanni.
17:04He looked at me.
17:06Serafina, get on the boat.
17:08Marco suddenly looked hopeful again.
17:10The water in front of me was empty,
17:12while the other boats had already pulled aside.
17:15So he stepped in front of his own boat.
17:18Sera, give in, and I'll make Bianca get off.
17:20I lowered my eyes to the ripples on the river and ignored him.
17:23A new boat was already gliding slowly toward me.
17:26Panic flashed across his face.
17:28He jumped onto his boat and pulled at Bianca.
17:31Bianca, get off first.
17:33I'm taking Santa.
17:34Too late.
17:35While they were still pulling at each other and arguing,
17:38the new boat came to a stop.
17:40A large, clean-boned hand reached out to me
17:43and lifted me steadily onto the boat.
17:47A brand-new coat fell over my shoulders.
17:50Warmth wrapped around me at once.
17:53A deep voice came from above.
17:54Serafina, I'm sorry.
17:56I'm not great with boats.
17:59I kept you waiting.
18:00It's cold.
18:02Wear this first.
18:03I looked up.
18:04It was Nico.
18:05My childhood sweet friend from another mafia family.
18:09The boy who once walked me home with guards behind us
18:12before he was sent to Boston.
18:14I've been gone too long.
18:16I almost forgot the customs.
18:18My mother said girls are supposed to wear red today.
18:21Don't worry.
18:22It's brand new.
18:23My mother and grandmother made it themselves.
18:25After saying that,
18:26Nico sat at the bow and started rowing.
18:29Before I could thank him,
18:30the boat lurched forward
18:31and threw me back into my seat.
18:34Sit tight.
18:35We're leaving.
18:35I wrapped the red coat tight
18:37as the boat cut through the water.
18:39It came like a gust of wind
18:41and left just as fast.
18:42By the time Marco looked up,
18:44I was already gone.
18:46He scrambled onto his own boat
18:47and rowed after us.
18:49Left on the shore,
18:50Bianca grabbed Mrs. Valenti's arm,
18:53furious and red-eyed.
18:54Auntie, look what Marco did!
18:56I drew the token.
18:58I was supposed to be on that boat.
19:00Mrs. Valenti was shaken too.
19:02She turned to Papa at once.
19:04Don Ferrara, the children are engaged.
19:06We'll start preparing the wedding now.
19:09She needed an answer.
19:10Now.
19:12The girl who had chased her son for seven years
19:14and could make her son the next Don
19:16had actually boarded another man's boat.
19:19She had only wanted to teach me a lesson,
19:22never thinking I would really leave.
19:24Now she remembered Marco's face,
19:26empty like his soul had been pulled out.
19:29For the first time,
19:30she regretted listening to Bianca.
19:32I was the daughter-in-law
19:33she had chosen all along.
19:35Papa laughed coldly.
19:37Now you want a wedding?
19:40You said rules are rules.
19:42My daughter drew an engraved token
19:44and boarded her groom's boat.
19:47So follow the rules.
19:48Mrs. Valenti could not answer.
19:50Papa stepped closer.
19:52You knew she was Marco's fiancé.
19:56For seven years, you prepared no wedding,
19:59watched her pull blanks,
20:00and let your son take Bianca onto his boat.
20:05Today, you even tried to switch her token again.
20:09Papa grabbed Tommy by the arm
20:11and pulled blank tokens from his pockets.
20:16The white tokens scattered across the platform like dirty snow.
20:20The whole crowd went silent.
20:22Papa's voice turned hard.
20:24You wanted Bianca safe and my daughter waiting.
20:26But Serafina is not something your family can draw up and put down.
20:32She is my daughter.
20:35As of today, the engagement is over.
20:37Papa left them there and walked to the water's edge.
20:40He was waiting for me to finish the festival route
20:42and come home.
20:47Mrs. Valenti shook so hard she could barely stand.
20:50Bianca tried to hold her.
20:52Mrs. Valenti shoved her away.
20:54Go!
20:58When Marco comes back, he'll blame you.
21:01Bianca froze.
21:02Leave while you still can.
21:03Mrs. Valenti closed her eyes.
21:06She knew her son.
21:07If Marco could not bring me back,
21:09there would be hell to pay.
21:10Our town was built along the sea.
21:12The wedding route passed nine bends of coastline
21:15and nine stone bridges.
21:17Married women waited on the bridges,
21:19ready to throw flower garlands onto the passing boats.
21:22The first bridge was already ahead.
21:24Nico turned back to me.
21:26My mother and grandmother are up there.
21:27Don't be nervous.
21:29They've wanted you and my family since we were children.
21:32Even while I was away, they never let go of that plan.
21:35When they heard you agreed to board my boat,
21:37they were happier than I was.
21:39The knot in my chest finally loosened.
21:41Last night when I called Nico Rossetti, I was desperate.
21:45Every man in town already knew Marco had claimed me for seven years.
21:50No one would dare take me.
21:52Then I saw Nico's update.
21:54He was back from Boston after putting his men and his power in place there.
21:58I called him.
21:59He said yes before I could even finish.
22:01He even asked me what he needed to prepare for the festival.
22:05Serafina, I'm happy you chose me for this.
22:09We grew up inside the close family circle.
22:11Why did you stop talking to me?
22:14I could not answer.
22:15Back then, I had feelings I did not know how to name.
22:19He was the best student in school.
22:21I was afraid that if I said the wrong thing, I would lose even his friendship.
22:25By the time I understood what I felt, he had gone to Boston.
22:28He was the Rossetti family's most promising heir.
22:31I knew his family had bigger plans for him, so I buried what I felt.
22:35By the time I knew I should say it, he went to Boston to secure their power there.
22:39And I stayed in this town.
22:41Today, Nico wore a black festival suit.
22:43The dark fabric stretched over his broad shoulders as he rowed through the water.
22:47At the first bridge, a garland of red flowers fell into our boat.
22:51It smelled like herbs, sea salt, and sunlight.
22:54I looked up.
22:55I could not see the women clearly through the light, but their laughter was warm.
22:59For the first time that morning, I smiled.
23:03Behind us, Marco was rowing like a madman.
23:06His eyes stayed fixed on the boat that had taken me away.
23:09He had not seen the man clearly, but the figure felt familiar.
23:13The sea route he knew by heart suddenly felt strange.
23:16All those years, I had watched him take Bianca onto his boat.
23:19Now he finally knew what it felt like.
23:21Helpless.
23:22Humiliated.
23:23Left behind.
23:24He kept asking himself why I had not boarded his boat.
23:28But the answer was obvious.
23:29His boat already had Bianca.
23:31He had never planned to let me on.
23:33Marco had always thought I would never leave.
23:35For seven years, he took another woman onto his boat and still expected me to run after him.
23:40The younger men once asked him how he did it.
23:42How do you keep Serafina and Bianca from tearing each other apart?
23:46Marco always laughed.
23:46It's easy.
23:47When I say jump, Serafina asks how high.
23:51Besides, Bianca's like family.
23:52Why would Serafina fight her?
23:54Even last year, when I pushed Bianca into the harbor, Marco had felt more pride than anger.
23:59To him, it proved I loved him.
24:01Loved him enough to fight.
24:03Loved him enough to lose control.
24:05His mother said a bride had to be trained before entering the Valenti family.
24:09So Marco listened.
24:10He punished me.
24:11When I lay there burning with fever, he told himself he would marry me next year.
24:15Then Bianca said a boss from another family wanted to claim her by force next San Giovanni.
24:20Marco hesitated again.
24:21One more year.
24:23I had waited seven.
24:25What was one more?
24:26He never thought I would run out of years to give.
24:28He never thought another boat would come for me.
24:30He had warned every man on this coast not to take me.
24:34So where did that boat come from?
24:36Marco gripped the oars harder.
24:37When I catch her, I'll make her understand.
24:40You don't board a stranger's boat just to make me jealous.
24:45The ninth bend of the coast passed my family's house.
24:48Mama stood by the water, searching every boat.
24:51Papa must have sent word that I had finally boarded one.
24:54When the boat came into view, she saw me at once.
24:58Serafina!
24:59Her eyes filled with tears.
25:01This was the first time she had ever seen me come home on a boat.
25:04Nico steered toward the shore.
25:06Careful.
25:07He helped me step off the boat.
25:10Mama stared at him, then smiled.
25:13Nico!
25:14You're back!
25:15I still remember you waiting outside the Ferrari estate every morning
25:19just to walk Serafina home with your guards behind you.
25:22Your mother said you already secured Boston.
25:24Where are you going next?
25:27Nico did not answer right away.
25:29He lifted the edge of my coat so it would not drag in the sand.
25:32Then he looked at me.
25:34Nowhere.
25:34I'm 30 now.
25:36It's time to settle down.
25:37I froze.
25:38He continued before I could speak.
25:40By town tradition, Serafina boarded my boat.
25:42That means she agreed to marry me, right?
25:47My family has everything ready.
25:48I only need her answer.
25:50I stared at him.
25:52That was not what he said last night.
25:55Last night, he said he was helping an old childhood friend.
25:58Board the boat.
25:59Finish the route.
26:00Then visit Nono with me.
26:03How did it become a real marriage?
26:05Before I could ask, Marco's voice came from the water.
26:08Serafina!
26:09His boat had caught up.
26:10Nico saw Marco coming and tightened his grip on my hand.
26:13You boarded my boat.
26:16Are you going to deny it now?
26:20That's not-
26:21Then tell me what he has that I don't.
26:23His voice stayed low, but his eyes were fixed on mine.
26:28Or is Marco the only man you'll ever want?
26:32My mind was a mess, but one thing was clear.
26:35I would never marry Marco.
26:37Marco was almost at the shore.
26:39I squeezed Nico's hand back.
26:42Don't regret this.
26:43Nico answered at once.
26:44I won't.
26:46Mama's face lit up.
26:47Good.
26:48Good.
26:49Good.
26:50Serafina's dowry has been ready for years.
26:54Today is perfect.
26:56Then she looked coldly at Marco, who had just climbed onto the shore.
27:00Marco, remember to come to the wedding dinner tonight.
27:04Serafina waited seven years.
27:06Today, she finally boarded a boat.
27:08Marco stopped dead.
27:09His eyes locked on my hand in Nico's.
27:12Then he roared.
27:13I don't agree.
27:15Serafina is my fiance.
27:17Who the hell are you?
27:18Let go of her!
27:20For the first time, I looked at his bloodshot eyes and felt nothing.
27:24He reached for me.
27:26Nico stepped in front of him.
27:27I looked past Nico and saw Marco's empty boat.
27:31Why didn't you bring Bianca this time?
27:33Marco's voice shook.
27:35Because you were leaving me.
27:37I was scared you wouldn't want me anymore.
27:39I almost laughed.
27:42So you only cared when you thought I would leave?
27:44I turned away and took Nico's hand.
27:46Serafina, don't go!
27:49I'll go see Nonno with you.
27:50I have my ID.
27:51We can get married right now!
27:55The moment he mentioned Nonno, anger rushed up my throat.
28:00I turned back.
28:02Marco, I gave you too many chances.
28:05Last week, I begged you to visit Nonno.
28:07You said you were busy.
28:08Sir Busy was taking Bionna to a jewelry shop and buying matching bracelets.
28:13Three matching bracelets.
28:14One for her.
28:16One for you.
28:18One for me.
28:19I stared at him.
28:20What was I supposed to be, a bonus gift?
28:23Marco opened his mouth.
28:25No sound came out.
28:26I did not wait for an answer.
28:28I took Nico's hand and walked away.
28:32Nico opened the car door for me.
28:34Are you sad?
28:35I shook my head.
28:36I had cried enough last night.
28:38I was not wasting more tears on Marco.
28:42Let's go to the hospital.
28:43Nonno had waited too long, and I was the reason he could not leave in peace.
28:48Through the glass, Nonno lay in bed, weak and covered in tubes.
28:52When he saw Nico and me walk in together, his eyes lit up.
28:56Nico helped me sit by the bed, then held Nonno's hand.
29:00Nonno moved his lips.
29:01I understood him.
29:02He was saying Nico was good.
29:04Good.
29:05Whoever I chose, he would choose too.
29:08I held back my tears and told him everything that had happened today.
29:12Nico leaned close to his ear.
29:14Nonno, I promise.
29:14I'll take good care of Seraphina.
29:16Nonno smiled.
29:17A real smile.
29:19Papa and Mama soon arrived.
29:21Mama wiped her eyes and said softly,
29:24Seraphila is having her wedding dinner tonight.
29:27Married on the eve of San Giovanni.
29:29She will be blessed.
29:31After seeing Nonno, Papa and Mama rushed home to prepare the feast.
29:36Nico took me into town.
29:38When the rings were brought out, I froze.
29:41They were my design.
29:42A mountain and a wave leaning into each other.
29:46How do you have this?
29:48Nico looked at me.
29:50I saw your sketches before I left for Boston.
29:52I thought if you ever got married, you would want to wear your own design.
29:56So I had them made before I came back.
29:58He slid the ring onto my finger.
30:00I put the other one on him.
30:02Only then did it feel real.
30:04I was getting married.
30:08When we got home, the courtyard was already full of red and white balloons.
30:12A red carpet stretched from my front door to Nico's.
30:15Our mother stood at the entrance, directing the neighborhood women.
30:18Water boiled.
30:19Meat roasted.
30:21Relatives carried red gift boxes down the road.
30:24The whole street had turned into a wedding feast.
30:27Nico traced a circle on my palm.
30:29You wasted years on the wrong man.
30:32But somehow, you still came back to me.
30:34His eyes stayed on mine.
30:34What I didn't say before Boston, I can finally say now.
30:37Serafina Ferrari, I love you.
30:39Spend your life with me.
30:40I smiled.
30:41Me too.
30:44Then a sharp cry cut through the courtyard.
30:47Bianca, her red dress was gone.
30:49Her hair was messy.
30:51Her eyes were wild.
30:53And a large suitcase dragged behind her.
30:55The moment she saw me, she dropped to her knees.
31:00Serafina, please let me live.
31:02Go back and marry Marco.
31:04The Valentis are throwing me out.
31:07I have nowhere to go.
31:08Please have some pity.
31:10People stopped to watch.
31:12Whispers spread through the street.
31:14A flash of satisfaction crossed Bianca's face.
31:17And she cried even louder.
31:19My parents are dead.
31:20I have no family.
31:22You have a don for a father and a man who loves you.
31:24I have nothing.
31:26I'll kneel if I have to.
31:27Just go back and talk to Marco.
31:29There is nothing between us.
31:31He was only helping me.
31:32The neighborhood women could not take it anymore.
31:35Wasn't she the one who ran off with a rich man
31:37and got her parents killed in that crash?
31:40Now she's ruining the Validi family, too.
31:43Last year she was all over Big Tony from the next town.
31:46Why didn't she board his boat?
31:48Serafina, ignore her.
31:50Go inside and put on your wedding dress.
31:53The Valentis arrived,
31:54dragging Bianca up while apologizing again and again.
31:59Marco came behind them, pale and silent.
32:02The gossip had cut into him.
32:04Bianca kept begging.
32:05Marco finally snapped.
32:07Bianca came to me.
32:08Shut up.
32:09Say one more word and I'll throw you into the harbor.
32:12Marco's eyes landed on the rings on my hand and Nico's.
32:15His eyes turned red, but he said nothing.
32:18He turned and followed his family away.
32:21I did not look at him again.
32:24I took Nico's hand
32:27and went inside.
32:32Rows of black luxury cars lined the square outside.
32:35The heads of every major family had come in person,
32:39witnessing the union between the Ferraro and Rossetti bloodlines.
32:43No one dared speak above a whisper.
32:45This marriage was more than a wedding.
32:47It was the beginning of a new era.
32:50Nico turned toward me,
32:51his dark eyes filled with a warmth I had never seen before.
32:54The priest smiled.
32:56You may kiss your bride.
32:58Nico cupped my face gently.
32:59I stood on my toes and closed the distance myself.
33:03Applause thundered through the church.
33:05Flower petals drifted from the balcony,
33:07covering us in shades of scarlet and ivory.
33:10For the first time in seven years,
33:12I smiled without forcing it.
33:14Outside the crowd, Marco stood frozen.
33:17His eyes never left us.
33:19His gaze lingered on the wedding ring resting on my finger.
33:22Then, on the way Nico held me
33:25as though I were the most precious person in the world.
33:27His fingers curled so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
33:31Without another glance,
33:32Marco turned and strode out of the church.
33:35He pulled out his phone.
33:39His voice was hoarse.
33:41I accept every condition you offered.
33:44But in return,
33:47you'll help me bring my woman back.
33:51The wedding celebrations continued
33:53until the stars began to twinkle in Sicily.
33:55He only led me upstairs after the last guest had left.
33:59The bedroom door closed softly behind us.
34:01Warm amber light shone on the stone walls.
34:04We were silent for a moment.
34:06Nico scratched the back of his neck,
34:08looking somewhat nervous.
34:14I, um...
34:15I couldn't help but chuckle softly.
34:17This confident mafia heir,
34:19who had faced countless family heads without batting an eye,
34:23now dared not look me in the eye.
34:24He cleared his throat.
34:27Serafina,
34:29if today has been too tiring for you,
34:31we don't need to rush.
34:33I can sleep in the next room.
34:34If you...
34:36Before he finished speaking,
34:38I approached him.
34:39Then I tiptoed and kissed him.
34:43His words vanished between our lips.
34:45We walked towards the bathroom,
34:46kissing passionately.
34:48Nico's robe fell away under my fingers.
34:50His strong upper body was exposed to the air,
34:53and the sudden change startled him slightly.
34:56Then he also took off my clothes and picked me up.
34:59The sudden change made me instinctively wrap my legs
35:02around his strong waist.
35:03A rose petal bath was already prepared in the tub.
35:06In the tub,
35:07his kisses traveled softly from my earlobe,
35:09down my neck,
35:10chest,
35:10and down to my lower abdomen.
35:12As I explored his warm tongue,
35:14I nervously clamped my legs together.
35:17What's wrong, my princess?
35:18Nico's eyes were gentle.
35:19I...
35:20I'm still a virgin.
35:21He smiled slightly,
35:23kissed my lips again,
35:24and said softly,
35:25Me too.
35:26Then he gently lifted me
35:28and carried me to the bed.
35:31His gentle kiss made me completely surrender myself to him.
35:34The morning sun spilled through the tall windows of the Rosetti estate.
35:37I stood on the balcony overlooking the sea
35:39when steady footsteps sounded behind me.
35:42Serafina.
35:43Papa had arrived.
35:44His eyes remained on the coastline,
35:46stretching toward the harbor.
35:47You've grown.
35:48His voice was calm.
35:50So it's time.
35:51The Ferrari family needs its next dawn,
35:54and I want that person to be you.
35:55I lowered my gaze.
35:57Papa.
35:57He shook his head.
35:58You are my daughter.
36:00You deserved it.
36:01But it won't be easy.
36:02His expression gradually hardened.
36:05For seven years,
36:06Marco was your fiancé.
36:08Every capo,
36:09every soldier,
36:10every allied family
36:11has already begun treating him
36:12as the Faroni family's future don.
36:14They followed him and trusted him.
36:16Papa's eyes met mine.
36:18If you take this seat,
36:21you'll be taking it from him.
36:22And Marco won't surrender it quietly.
36:26I clenched my fingers.
36:28I know.
36:29No one understood that better than I did.
36:31It had been my blind love.
36:32My willingness to place Marco above myself.
36:35I was the one who had given him influence
36:37inside my family's territory.
36:39Made everyone believe he already belonged there.
36:41Now,
36:42I would have to take it back.
36:44I lifted my head.
36:46I created this.
36:47So I'll end it.
36:49After Papa leave,
36:50Nico put a coat cover my shoulder.
36:52You won't have to do it alone.
36:53I will always stay with you.
36:54He handed the folder to me.
36:56I opened it.
36:57Several photographs slid onto the table.
36:59Marco chatted with Tom Moretti,
37:01the Ferraro's oldest enemy.
37:03They've already started negotiating.
37:05I looked at the photos in silence.
37:07Nico quietly reached for my hand.
37:09Don't worry, dear,
37:10if he's choosing war.
37:11Then we'll be ready before he is.
37:13I tightened my grip on his hand.
37:15This time,
37:16I wasn't fighting for love.
37:17I was fighting for my family.
37:21My phone vibrated just after noon.
37:23An unknown number.
37:24Only one sentence appeared on the screen.
37:26Come to the old cannery by the harbor.
37:28I have something you need to see.
37:30At the bottom of the message
37:31was a single name.
37:32Bianca.
37:33I stared at the screen for several seconds
37:35before calling the number.
37:38She answered almost immediately.
37:41I knew you'd call.
37:42Her voice was hoarse.
37:43Nothing like the confident woman
37:45from the past.
37:46What do you want?
37:46A bitter laugh came through the receiver.
37:49I want to leave Sicily.
37:51I want a passport.
37:54A new identity.
37:55And enough money to survive somewhere.
37:57No one knows my name.
37:58She paused.
37:59I can't stay here anymore.
38:01I looked out toward the sea.
38:02You came after me for seven years.
38:05You tried to take everything from me.
38:07And now you expect me to help you?
38:09I don't help people
38:10who tried to destroy my life.
38:11Bianca didn't argue.
38:12Instead, she lowered her voice.
38:14What if I can help you first?
38:16Silence stretched between us.
38:17I know Marco's next move.
38:19I know which Ferrari Capos
38:21have already pledged themselves to him.
38:23My expression changed.
38:24She continued.
38:25They met before sunrise.
38:27They're waiting for the right moment.
38:29You can refuse.
38:30But once Marco makes his move...
38:31You won't get another chance.
38:32The call ended.
38:34I stood there without moving.
38:35A few moments later,
38:36Nico walked into the room.
38:37I quietly slipped the phone into my pocket.
38:40I need to go out.
38:42An hour later,
38:43my convoy stopped outside
38:44an abandoned factory near the docks.
38:46The rusted steel gates
38:48hung crookedly from broken hinges.
38:50The air smelled of salt,
38:52oil, and old machinery.
38:53My guards spread out immediately.
38:55Stay alert.
38:57I stepped inside.
38:59Bianca was already there.
39:00She looked nothing like the woman
39:02who had once stood proudly beside Marco.
39:04Her expensive dresses were gone.
39:06Her hair hung in tangled strands.
39:08Her face was pale.
39:10Her lips nearly colorless.
39:12Dark circles framed her hollow eyes.
39:14She looked as though
39:15she hadn't slept in days.
39:17When she saw me,
39:18she let out a cold laugh.
39:19You finally came.
39:21Her eyes were filled with resentment.
39:25You ruined my life!
39:27The Valentis threw me away.
39:35I looked at her without changing my expression.
39:38I didn't come here to hear you complain.
39:41If you have something to say, say it.
39:43She continued glaring at me.
39:45I slowly raised my pistol,
39:47then fired a single shot into the sky.
39:49The deafening crack echoed
39:51through the empty factory.
39:52Bianca screamed and stumbled backward
39:54before collapsing onto the dusty floor.
39:56For a heartbeat,
39:58everything fell silent.
39:59Then,
40:00she started laughing.
40:02The laughter echoed through the abandoned building,
40:04growing louder and louder.
40:08You still don't understand.
40:10She wiped tears from the corners of her eyes.
40:12You think Marco ever loved you?
40:16He didn't.
40:17He never loved you.
40:19The moment the words left her mouth,
40:21footsteps erupted from every direction.
40:24Men poured out from behind broken containers,
40:26rusted machines,
40:27and collapsed walls.
40:28Black guns were raised all at once.
40:31Ambush!
40:34One of my guards shouted.
40:36Gunfire exploded through the factory.
40:38Bullets shattered windows
40:40and ripped through steel pillars.
40:41My men immediately returned fire,
40:44forcing the first wave back.
40:45But more kept coming.
40:47Far more than we had expected.
40:49They're surrounding us!
40:50Another burst of gunfire echoed through the warehouse.
40:53One by one,
40:55my guards were forced behind cover.
40:57Our ammunition dwindled.
40:58The circle around us grew smaller.
41:00I fired my last round
41:02before the slide locked back with a sharp click.
41:05Empty.
41:06A man rushed forward
41:07and knocked the pistol from my hand.
41:10Several others seized my arms
41:11before I could reach for the knife at my waist.
41:14Cold restraints tightened around my wrists.
41:16Bianca emerged from the dust,
41:18grinning menacingly.
41:20The Don's daughter?
41:21So what?
41:23You've lost me again.
41:25She gripped my chin tightly,
41:27her eyes blazing with fury.
41:30I jerked my head sharply,
41:32throwing her hand away.
41:33A cold smile tugged at the corner of my lips.
41:35Is that what you think?
41:36I looked straight into her eyes.
41:38The one who loses will never be me.
41:41As you said,
41:42I'm the daughter of a Mafia Don.
41:45My husband is the heir to an even stronger family.
41:49As for Marco?
41:50I let out a quiet scoff.
41:52He's nothing more than trash I threw away.
41:55My gaze slowly swept over her.
41:58But what's even more pathetic
42:00is that even the trash I didn't want,
42:05you still couldn't pick up.
42:07Bianca froze.
42:08The next second, rage twisted her face.
42:11You bitch!
42:12Laugh never landed.
42:13A large hand shot out of the darkness
42:15and caught her wrist effortlessly.
42:17She was flung aside as though she weighed nothing,
42:20crashed onto the concrete floor.
42:22The entire warehouse fell silent.
42:24Heavy footsteps echoed through the shadows.
42:27The man emerged from the darkness.
42:28He wore a tailored black suit
42:30beneath a long charcoal coat.
42:32Silver streaks touched his temples,
42:34but they only sharpened the authority
42:36in his cold features.
42:38His eyes settled on me with open admiration.
42:40A faint smile crossed his lips.
42:42The old Ferroni's daughter?
42:44Great.
42:45I am Tom Marotti.
42:47Glad to see you.
42:50Tom Moretti's eyes lingered on me.
42:52Amused.
42:53I did not flinch,
42:54then smiled.
42:55Is this how the Moretti family welcomes guests?
42:58Something flickered across his face.
43:00Not anger, interest.
43:02He raised two fingers.
43:04The men behind me loosened the cords at once.
43:07I glanced toward my own guards,
43:09still pinned against the wall,
43:10guns pressed to their temples.
43:12Tom's small nod.
43:13His men lowered their weapons,
43:15then let go.
43:16Bianca scrambled up from the concrete,
43:18dust streaked across her face,
43:19and hurried toward him like a dog.
43:21Mr. Moretti.
43:23What you promised me.
43:24The house on the west coast is already arranged.
43:27Her eyes lit up.
43:29Thank you, thank you so much.
43:31Then she turned,
43:32eyes filled vicious.
43:34As for Serafina,
43:35don't worry, sir.
43:36She was nothing but a shameless woman
43:38chasing after Marco.
43:39I did not answer her.
43:40I looked past her,
43:42straight at Tom.
43:43Is this your partner?
43:44Tom laughed,
43:45low and unhurried.
43:47She doesn't deserve that title.
43:50I only want to work with you.
43:52And if I refuse?
43:54I'm not.
43:55Then you die here!
43:58I smiled at Tom.
44:00Let us go.
44:01There's still time.
44:03If you don't,
44:04you'll regret it,
44:04Mr. Moretti.
44:05Tom's expression changed,
44:07the smile draining from his face.
44:09Then it returned,
44:11colder this time.
44:13Honey,
44:13you're too naive.
44:15In a situation like this,
44:16you have no room to negotiate.
44:18You have no choice,
44:19but to accept my offer.
44:22And if I told you my husband is coming for me?
44:24A flicker of hesitation crossed Tom's face.
44:27Bianca cut in at once.
44:29Impossible!
44:30She came here to meet Marco in secret.
44:32She'd never let her husband find out.
44:35She chased Marco for seven years.
44:38How could she let go of him so easily?
44:40Tom's gaze swung between us.
44:42Uncertain.
44:43I let out a cold laugh.
44:44Marco?
44:45He's nothing but a dog I once kept.
44:48Everything he has,
44:49I gave him.
44:50And I can take it all back just as easily.
44:53I hope you won't let yourself be misled into a mistake,
44:55Mr. Moretti.
44:56Something in Tom's expression loosened.
44:59He did not want to make enemies of two families at once.
45:02But Bianca spoke again.
45:04Even if she's telling the truth,
45:05so what?
45:06We kill her now,
45:08and everything falls to Marco.
45:10Only Don.
45:12He and I will make you the only Don we ever answer to.
45:14A flash of cruelty crossed Tom's eyes.
45:17He raised his gun toward me and pulled the trigger.
45:20In that instant,
45:22one of my guards threw himself over me,
45:24knocking me to the ground.
45:25Chaos broke out again,
45:27gunfire tearing through the warehouse.
45:29Before he could aim at me a second time,
45:32outside,
45:33the roar of engines rose through the harbor air.
45:36The warehouse gate was torn open,
45:38The massive steel frame bending inward,
45:41ripped from its hinges with a shriek of metal.
45:44Dust rolled through the opening like a thick gray wave.
45:47A figure stepped out of it,
45:49coat catching the wind behind him.
45:52It's Nico.
45:53Tom stood there,
45:54stunned for a second,
45:55then raised his hands in surrender
45:57and gave a self-deprecating laugh.
46:00Bianca was completely dumbfounded.
46:04Tom looked past me,
46:06at the men crowding the shattered gate.
46:08Hundred of them.
46:09Guns already raised.
46:11Nico's men filling every exit.
46:14He let out a short breath.
46:16Well,
46:18that settles that.
46:20He turned to leave and grabbed Bianca by the arm
46:23and shoved her toward me.
46:26Little gift.
46:27She's yours now.
46:28Bianca hit the ground at my feet.
46:30For a moment,
46:31she just stared at the men surrounding her,
46:33at Tom's retreating back,
46:35at the gun still smoking in the dirt.
46:38Then it hit her.
46:39No one was coming to save her this time.
46:42She scrambled forward on her knees,
46:44grabbing at the hem of my coat.
46:50Serafina, please.
46:52I didn't mean it.
46:54I was scared.
46:55Please.
46:55I did not look down at her.
46:57Nico crossed the floor in three long strides
47:00and pulled me into his arms,
47:02hands running over my shoulders,
47:04my arms,
47:05checking for blood.
47:06Are you hurt?
47:07Tell me the truth.
47:08I shook my head.
47:10I'm fine.
47:13Before I left the estate,
47:15I had told him,
47:16half an hour.
47:17If you didn't hear from me by then,
47:19come.
47:19I never told him where I was really going or why.
47:23Not because I didn't trust him.
47:25Because this fight was not his to carry.
47:28Marco's betrayal.
47:30The capos who had turned.
47:32The rot inside my own family.
47:34If I ever wanted to sit in Papa's chair
47:36and have men actually kneel for it,
47:39I could not let my husband clean up my house for me.
47:42A Don who needed saving every time
47:45would never be a Don at all.
47:47Nico held my face in both hands for a moment,
47:49studying me like he was making sure I was really there.
47:53Then his eyes moved past me,
47:55to Bianca still sobbing on the ground.
47:57His expression went cold.
47:59This one.
48:00If I let her go,
48:02I'll be a failed husband,
48:04unable to protect his wife.
48:06He looked at his men and shouted,
48:07How should the mafia treat traitors?
48:11She stuffs them in sacks
48:12and throws them into the river,
48:15letting God decide whether such traitors deserve to live.
48:18But everyone knows that no one can live
48:20under such circumstances.
48:23Night, we curled up together on the sofa,
48:26talking about old things.
48:27His years in Boston,
48:29my childhood tantrums,
48:30the guards he used to bring just to walk me home.
48:33The fire crackled low in the hearth.
48:35Just before midnight,
48:36the clock in the hall began to chime.
48:37Nico stood,
48:38pulling me up by the hand,
48:40leading me to the window.
48:42Come here.
48:45This is my wedding gift to you.
48:47The sky over the harbor split open in brilliant blue light,
48:51fireworks blooming one after another against the dark water.
48:55For a moment,
48:56I only felt the wonder of it.
48:58Then the feeling curdled into something else.
49:00Blue fireworks.
49:02Every family on this coast used them for one thing only,
49:05to announce a victory,
49:07a kill,
49:08a war won.
49:08I turned to look at him.
49:11Nico,
49:12what did you do?
49:13He only smiled,
49:15tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.
49:17You'll know tomorrow,
49:18but right now.
49:20His eyes dropped to my lips.
49:21Don't you think you owe me a gift too?
49:24I laughed softly.
49:26I didn't prepare anything.
49:27He leaned down,
49:29his mouth brushing the shell of my ear,
49:30voice low.
49:32You're the only gift I want.
49:34Sunlight fell across my face,
49:36warm and unhurried.
49:37When I finally opened my eyes,
49:39the light had shifted too far.
49:41Almost noon,
49:42I remembered.
49:43Nico had said there was something to deal with today.
49:45I pushed myself up,
49:46and every muscle in my body ached in protest.
49:49The door opened.
49:51Nico stepped in,
49:52already dressed,
49:53a cup of coffee in hand.
49:54Why didn't you wake me earlier?
49:56He set the cup down and sat on the edge of the bed.
49:58You used up too much energy last night.
50:00If I'd taken your sleep too,
50:03I'd be no better than the devil.
50:05Heat rushed to my face.
50:07Pieces of the night came back to me.
50:09Nico carried me into the bathroom,
50:11gently undressed me,
50:13and then transformed into a tireless beast.
50:15The bathroom,
50:16the carpet,
50:17the balcony,
50:18the bed.
50:19By the end,
50:20I hadn't even had the strength left to make a sound.
50:23He watched me flush and laughed softly,
50:26ruffling my hair.
50:27I found Marco last night.
50:28The family tribunal starts in half an hour.
50:31How did you...
50:32I asked.
50:32As I say,
50:33just a gift.
50:35We walked together to the tribunal doors.
50:38Nico fell half a step behind me.
50:40I turned back to look at him.
50:42Go on ahead,
50:43my princess.
50:44I'll always be the knight guarding your back.
50:46The doors opened.
50:47Inside,
50:48the first thing I saw was Marco,
50:50the man who had vanished after my wedding night,
50:53now sitting rigid at the long table.
50:55A woman beside him with a sack pulled over her head.
50:58He shot to his feet the moment he saw me,
51:01something wild in his eyes.
51:02I didn't look at him.
51:03Because past him,
51:05in the chair by the window,
51:06sat Nonno.
51:07My throat closed.
51:08My eyes filled before I could stop them.
51:11I crossed the room and dropped to my knees beside his chair.
51:14He reached out and patted my head,
51:16laughing softly.
51:18My little cookie.
51:20All grown up.
51:21Now Nomno can finally rest easy.
51:23Nico's arms came around me from behind,
51:26his voice low against my ear.
51:28I found the heart he needed.
51:29The surgery went well.
51:31I turned and looked at him,
51:33my eyes brimming with something too full to name.
51:36He only kissed the tip of my nose,
51:38indulgent.
51:39Silly girl.
51:40Let's take care of business first.
51:42He nodded to his men.
51:43The sack was torn from the woman's head beside Marco.
51:46It was Bianca.
51:48Nico stepped forward,
51:50addressing the room.
51:51Last night,
51:52when I gave the order for Bianca disposal,
51:54I had men waiting along the riverbank.
51:56As expected,
51:58someone came to save her.
52:00He nodded toward the doors.
52:01Marco.
52:02He turned to the guards.
52:03More than a dozen men were marched in,
52:05hands bound,
52:06heads down.
52:07Nico pointed at them one by one.
52:09These are Marco's men.
52:11His informants inside our own house.
52:12We've already confessed everything,
52:14including his dealings with the Moretti family.
52:16He gave a single nod toward the screen behind him.
52:18The footage began to play.
52:20Marco's face,
52:21lit by a phone screen,
52:22speaking to Tom Moretti in a dim room.
52:25His voice clear,
52:26offering the Ferraro territory in exchange for help.
52:29Color drained from Marco's face
52:31as he watched himself on the screen.
52:32He opened his mouth.
52:34No words came.
52:35One by one,
52:36the ten capos at the long table rose.
52:38Their verdict came without hesitation.
52:40Marco Valatti is banished from Sicily,
52:42permanently.
52:44If he ever set foot on this land again,
52:47he will be treated as an enemy
52:48of every family present.
52:51Three years passed like a single held breath.
52:54I became the new dawn of the Ferraro family.
52:56Nico stood beside me through every vote,
52:58every threat,
52:59every sleepless night.
53:01We built a life neither of us thought we'd earn.
53:03The morning of our son's first birthday,
53:05the crowd near the gate went suddenly,
53:07strangely quiet.
53:08I turned.
53:09A sexy woman I did not recognize
53:11stood at the edge of the garden.
53:13I heard the shot before I understood it.
53:14Then the pain came,
53:16blooming hot and sudden through my side,
53:18and the world tilted sideways.
53:20My son's laughter was the last clear sound
53:23I held on to.
53:24Then Nico's voice,
53:25breaking apart above me.
53:27Serafina, look at me.
53:28Stay with me.
53:29This is my fault.
53:30All of it.
53:31I did this to you.
53:32His hands pressed hard against the wound,
53:35shaking,
53:35red spreading between his fingers
53:37no matter how tightly he held on.
53:39I tried to lift my hand to his face.
53:41It barely moved.
53:42The garden blurred.
53:43Voices scattered into noise.
53:45I looked up at him,
53:46but I could not tell him it would be all right.
53:48Then the doors of the emergency room
53:50swallowed the light,
53:51and his face was gone.
53:53Nico stood on the hospital's rooftop,
53:56coat torn,
53:57blood dried dark along his forearms,
53:59still not quite steady on his feet.
54:01Elena waited by the railing,
54:02radiant in a way.
54:03Her eyes carried something close to delight,
54:06like she'd been waiting for this moment for years.
54:08I heard some woman had you tied down.
54:10I came all this way to save you from her.
54:13She tilted her head,
54:14smiling,
54:15unbothered by the silence that followed.
54:16Don't I even get a thank you?
54:18Nico crossed the distance in two strides
54:20and closed his hand around her throat.
54:22She didn't flinch.
54:23If anything,
54:24she laughed,
54:25low and amused.
54:26You didn't say thank you like this before,
54:28Nico.
54:29He shoved her back against the railing,
54:31chest heaving,
54:32eyes bloodshot,
54:33a vein straining hard at his temple.
54:35When he spoke,
54:36every word came out separately,
54:38forced through his teeth
54:39like it cost him something to say them.
54:41She is my wife.
54:45The mother of my child.
54:48How dare you.
