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