00:30On the day I gave birth, he shot me in the stomach, and then threw my body into the deep
00:35sea.
00:36Dante said,
00:36You let your jealousy draw the enemies here, and killed her.
00:40Since you love competing with her for my favor so much,
00:44I'll make sure you die just like her.
00:49When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day the Rizu family launched their attack.
00:54This time, if he wanted to protect his first love, so be it.
01:00The moment I was reborn, I saw black assault speedboats of the Rizzo family speeding toward the shore.
01:06I pressed the estate's level one security alarm immediately.
01:09The sharp siren spread across the entire private island,
01:12but the flagship superyacht, the only vessel that could evacuate everyone, was gone.
01:16Sarah, my personal assistant, stumbled over to me with a trembling voice.
01:20Lady Alara, the Rizzo men have come ashore.
01:24Where has all the security gone?
01:26The yacht is missing too.
01:28What do we do?
01:29Before I could answer, all the spouses, maids, and clerical staff gathered around,
01:33staring at me with terrified eyes.
01:35As the only person who knew the truth, I spoke calmly.
01:38Dante took all security teams and weapons.
01:42Flagship.
01:43He sailed the flagship out to open sea
01:47for Leela's birthday.
01:50The Valenti matriarch clenched her shawl and snapped in sharp anger.
01:54Has he lost his mind?
01:56He knows the Rizzo family is always looking for a chance to strike back,
02:00and he dared to strip the island of all defenses.
02:05That woman, Leela, I always said she had bad intentions.
02:09She acts weak, strings him along,
02:12and now she will drag the whole family to hell.
02:15Her fury lit a fuse, and all the women angrily cursed Leela.
02:19When they cursed, the assault once reached the shore.
02:22The crowd grew more panicked.
02:24I forced myself to calm down,
02:25and ordered everyone to retreat to the underground bunker.
02:29This underground bunker was built by the Valenti family,
02:32specifically to deal with surprise attacks.
02:34The cramped bunker was packed with people.
02:36From above our heads came the lewd laughter of hitmen hunting for prey.
02:40Panic spread like a disease in everyone's heart.
02:43The only way to save everyone
02:45was to crawl out through the maintenance tunnels
02:47connected to the bunker
02:48and call for backup on a spare boat.
02:50The matriarch grabbed my wrist.
02:52Her palm slipped with cold sweat.
02:55Alara, can you can operate a boat?
02:59Go out.
03:00Find Dante.
03:01Tell him to bring the men back.
03:04I gave her a hollow smile.
03:06Even if I find him,
03:08he won't come back.
03:09Not for me.
03:10Silence fell over the room.
03:13Three months ago,
03:14after Dante saved Leela in a gunfight,
03:16he stayed by her side constantly,
03:18even moving his office to her seaside villa.
03:21He even sat beside her at the family's quarterly banquets.
03:23Our subordinates privately teased that,
03:25saying they looked like a real couple.
03:27He heard those rumors and did not care.
03:29If anything, he grew bolder.
03:31He stayed even closer to her
03:32and made their bond more obvious,
03:34as if daring me to say something.
03:36I lost count of how many times I had screamed at him
03:39and demanded to know who his wife actually was.
03:42He called me petty and jealous
03:44and told me I was imagining things.
03:46Whatever we had once had
03:47could not survive what he felt for her.
03:49Just when no one knew what to do,
03:51Rain stepped forward.
03:52He was Dante's biological younger brother
03:54and the underboss of the family.
03:56Rain said,
03:57Let me go.
03:57I know everyone on the security detail.
04:00Besides,
04:01you're pregnant.
04:03If something happened to you,
04:04I'd never be able to face my brother.
04:06Before anyone could argue,
04:08he slipped into the utility tunnel entrance
04:10and disappeared into the dark.
04:13We huddled in the underground bunker.
04:15Every breath was held.
04:16Every heart silently begged the same thing.
04:19Do not let them find us.
04:20They found us anyway.
04:21A hitman said,
04:22There's a reinforced blast door over here.
04:24I bet everyone's hiding inside.
04:26No territory this size stays empty.
04:28Another hitman said,
04:30I knew it.
04:31Open!
04:32Don't let a single one escape!
04:34Heavy blows from a battering ramp rang out,
04:36one after another,
04:37shaking the overhead lights.
04:38The women turned pale with fear
04:40and could only pray the men would come back
04:41to save them soon.
04:43About half an hour later,
04:44Rain crawled back through the access hatch,
04:46covered in dust.
04:47The crowd relaxed at once,
04:48thinking backup had arrived.
04:50But he met their eyes with a red-rimmed gaze
04:52and wiped the dirt from his face.
04:53I'm sorry.
04:56They won't come back.
04:58The matriarch grabbed his arm urgently.
05:00Why won't they come back?
05:02Their wives, children,
05:04and elderly family lovers are in here.
05:06Rain turned his face
05:07to show the swollen red mark on his cheek.
05:09He slapped me.
05:10The Rizzo family would never attack out of nowhere.
05:13He said that you and I lied to him
05:15just to ruin Lila's birthday party.
05:17Seeing the clear handprint on his face,
05:20the crowd burned with anger and resentment.
05:22They cursed Lila as a curse
05:23and Dante as negligent,
05:25willing to risk the whole family for one woman.
05:27Just then, a loud explosion went off.
05:30The hitmen used high explosives.
05:32The bunker's blast door would hold
05:34for at most one more hour.
05:36I calmed the trembling crowd
05:37and spoke to them.
05:38Our satellite crew on Pizzo Island
05:40is 20 minutes away by boat.
05:42I'll go call for help.
05:43The matriarch squeezed my arm,
05:45her old hand shaking uncontrollably.
05:47Alara, everyone's lives depend on you.
05:50You have to bring help back.
05:53I nodded.
05:54Holding my pregnant belly,
05:55I crawled back to the surface
05:56through the moldy, stinking tunnels.
06:00I started the spare speedboat
06:02and raced full speed toward Pizzo Island.
06:06When the boat hit the beach,
06:08several armed security guards in black
06:09were already waiting there.
06:11At their head was Marco,
06:12the family's capo regime and security chief.
06:15Hadn't he gone out to sea with Dante?
06:16Why was he here?
06:17I had no time to think.
06:19I stumbled toward him,
06:20ready to explain the situation.
06:21He suddenly grabbed my arm
06:23and yanked me off the boat,
06:24his eyes full of disgust.
06:27Alara, how can a woman be as crazy as you?
06:30I stared at him in confusion.
06:34What do you mean?
06:35Marco let out a scornful laugh.
06:38Hadn told me to wait here.
06:40He said you'd spread lies
06:41about a Ritsu attack.
06:43With Rain's help,
06:44just to ruin Miss Lila's birthday party
06:47out of jealousy.
06:48Hearing that,
06:49I shook with rage.
06:50Dante had gone so far
06:51as to post a guard
06:52on my only route
06:53to stop me from calling for help.
06:55I spoke urgently,
06:56every word sharp with urgency.
06:58The Ritsu family is already attacking.
06:59I'm not here to spread lies.
07:01I'm here for backup.
07:02If no help arrives in an hour,
07:04everyone on the estate will die.
07:06Perhaps my expression was too serious.
07:08A flicker of doubt crossed his face.
07:10After all,
07:10his wife, daughter, and mother
07:12were all on the estate.
07:14Marco was about to contact Dante
07:15on his encrypted earpiece
07:17when a guard beside him
07:18spoke in a low voice.
07:19If there really was an attack,
07:21how would the Dawn not know about it?
07:25The guard spoke with almost devout trust.
07:27Dante was ex-special forces.
07:29He was decisive and ruthless.
07:31He had led the family
07:32to fend off three waves
07:33of rival forces
07:34and built the family's defense network
07:36with his own hands.
07:37To everyone there,
07:38he was the most reliable man they knew.
07:40After less than a second of silence,
07:42Marco burst out laughing.
07:44Hey, Lara.
07:45You're a good actor.
07:46You almost had me.
07:49I know exactly what kind of man
07:50the Dawn is.
07:52Do you think someone like him,
07:54who can identify danger in advance,
07:57would miss the attack
07:58by his arch-rival family?
07:59At his mockery,
08:00my chest tightened with pain
08:01and tears burned behind my eyes.
08:04Every minute wasted
08:05put the people inside in more danger.
08:07I tried to rush past him.
08:09Marco stepped in first
08:10and pinned me down.
08:11He bound me tightly
08:12with zip-tie restraints.
08:14With me here,
08:15you're not going anywhere today.
08:17He dragged me onto a speedboat
08:19with a cold face
08:20and turned toward the open sea.
08:21The boat cut through the waves.
08:23I watched Pizzo Island
08:24grow farther and farther away
08:25and close my eyes in despair.
08:28Out on the open sea,
08:29the Valenti flagship blazed with lights.
08:31The deck was laid with wool carpets.
08:33A string quartet played a waltz.
08:34All the corps members stood around
08:36singing happy birthday to Lila.
08:37She wore a custom evening gown
08:39and danced in Dante's arms to the song.
08:41Looking at the man
08:42who had dragged me into the abyss
08:43time and time again,
08:45an overwhelming hatred
08:46surged through my body.
08:47The estate was about to fall
08:49and he was still dancing
08:50with his first love.
08:53When they noticed my arrival,
08:55they stopped dancing.
08:56Lila walked over to me on her own,
08:58her voice soft and delicate.
09:00Alara,
09:01this is all my fault.
09:03If it weren't for my birthday,
09:05you wouldn't have to go around
09:06spreading rumors about an enemy attack.
09:08As she spoke,
09:08she leaned softly into Dante's chest.
09:11When she met my eyes,
09:12a faint, triumphant smile
09:14tugged at the corner of her mouth.
09:15Dante stroked the top of her head affectionately,
09:18then looked at me
09:18with nothing but disgust.
09:21None of this was her fault.
09:23She was just kind and naive.
09:26You're the narrow-minded one.
09:28You actually risked putting
09:29the whole family in crisis
09:30just to get my attention.
09:33My mind was full of the people
09:34back at the estate.
09:35I had no patience for their games.
09:37I took a deep breath
09:38and spoke to him gravely.
09:40The bunker blast door
09:41won't hold much longer.
09:43If it breaks,
09:44every spouse inside
09:45will be brutalized
09:47by the Rizzo men.
09:47My warning earned me nothing
09:49but a hard slap across the face.
09:51Lara,
09:51the more you act like this,
09:53the more disgusting you are.
09:55I struggled wildly,
09:56but the restaurants
09:57were too tight to break.
09:58My eyes burned with urgency.
09:59I begged him desperately.
10:01I could accept you
10:02refusing to come back,
10:03but why was you stopping me
10:04from calling for help?
10:07Soon it would be too late.
10:09But Dante did not loosen
10:10the restraints.
10:11He gave a cold order instead.
10:13Lock her in the lower deck
10:14brig overnight.
10:15Teach her a lesson for lying.
10:17With that,
10:18he put his arm around Lila's waist
10:19and walked back to the dance floor.
10:21They began dancing
10:22against the music.
10:23I was dragged
10:24into the cold lower deck.
10:25The metal walls
10:26hummed with the chill of the sea.
10:27Laughter and music
10:28drifted down through the vents,
10:30sharp and cruel.
10:31I leaned against the wall,
10:32calculating how much longer
10:33the blast door could hold.
10:35Every second felt like torture.
10:37I knew with perfect clarity
10:38that those living,
10:40breathing people
10:40were dying fast.
10:42There was nothing I could do.
10:43I could only watch
10:44the last chance for rescue
10:45slip away.
10:46It was over.
10:51Everything was over.
10:52The birthday party
10:53lasted until early morning.
10:54Only then did the guests
10:56wind down
10:56and order the yacht
10:57to turn back.
10:58They laughed
10:59and talked the whole way back,
11:00debating Lila's gown
11:01and the vintage champagne
11:02from the party.
11:03But when the yacht docked,
11:04all they saw
11:05was collapsed ruins
11:06and bodies scattered
11:07across the ground.
11:08The whole estate
11:09was dead silent.
11:11The entrance
11:12to the underground bunker
11:13gaped open.
11:14The stench of rot
11:15and blood
11:16rolled out
11:16on the sea breeze.
11:17The shelter
11:18that had been packed
11:19with women and children
11:20now held nothing
11:21but broken limbs
11:22and torn bodies.
11:23Everything was destroyed.
11:24Marco's boots
11:25stepped into a pool
11:27of still wet blood.
11:28Half a silver thimble
11:29rested in the blood.
11:30He recognized it at once.
11:32It was the thimble
11:32his mother always used
11:33for sewing.
11:35How could this happen?
11:37His voice shook so badly
11:38it barely sounded like his own.
11:40When he bent
11:40to pick up the thimble,
11:41his knees slammed
11:43hard into the ground.
11:43He fell to his knees
11:45and broke down,
11:46sobbing.
11:46A young guard
11:47dropped to his knees too.
11:48He picked up a tiny
11:49pink strawberry hair clip
11:51with shaking fingers.
11:52It was the clip
11:52his little sister
11:53wore in her bangs
11:54every day.
11:55He pressed the clip
11:55to his forehead.
11:56His shoulders shook violently.
11:58He slapped himself
11:59over and over
12:00across the face.
12:01I shouldn't have you.
12:03I shouldn't have left you.
12:04regret spread through
12:06the crowd like a plague.
12:07Some punched
12:08the broken walls.
12:09Some sat on the ground
12:10numbly,
12:11whispering the names
12:12of their dead loved ones.
12:13Some held each other
12:14and cried.
12:15I slid slowly down the wall
12:16until I sat on the ground.
12:18My chest hurt so badly
12:19I could barely breathe.
12:20A tear fell
12:21onto the back of my hand.
12:23Only then did I realize
12:24I was already crying.
12:26Looking at the carnage,
12:27Lila choked back sobs
12:29and put on a face
12:29of utter grief.
12:30Why today?
12:32Of all days?
12:33Did the Ritzo family
12:34know it was my birthday too?
12:36Her voice was quiet
12:37but loud enough
12:38for everyone to hear.
12:39Those words were like
12:40cold water
12:40thrown in hot oil.
12:42Dante snapped his head up
12:43and pinned me
12:44with a furious glare.
12:45You knew the Ritzo
12:47would come, didn't you?
12:48You picked today
12:49on purpose to frame Lila.
12:51You've targeted her
12:52since the day she arrived.
12:54Now you've sacrificed
12:55the whole family
12:56just to feed your jealousy.
12:59I looked at his twisted face.
13:01I felt only absurdity.
13:02To protect Lila,
13:04he was going to blame
13:04the entire enemy attack
13:06on me.
13:07Another hard slap
13:08cracked across my face,
13:09burning hot and sharp.
13:11I stumbled backward
13:12and hid a metal cabinet
13:13behind me.
13:13The taste of blood
13:14filled my mouth.
13:15Marco grabbed me
13:16by the collar,
13:17his eyes wild with rage.
13:18You led the Ritzo here,
13:20didn't you?
13:21Just to get back
13:22at the dawn.
13:23I shook my head,
13:24tears blurring my vision.
13:26He slammed me hard
13:27into the ground
13:27and pressed his knee
13:29into my stomach.
13:31The back of my head
13:32hit the concrete floor hard.
13:35Pain exploded
13:36behind my eyes.
13:37One man stepped forward
13:38to stop him,
13:39unable to watch.
13:40You know what kind of woman
13:41Lady Elisa is.
13:42How many times
13:43has she tutored our kids
13:45who carried the wounded
13:46three miles
13:47during the last shootout?
13:51You don't understand.
13:52She's the one
13:53who let them in.
13:54Why else would
13:55only she be fine?
13:59My mom,
14:00my wife,
14:01my kid,
14:02how could you do this?
14:04More and more men
14:05gave in to their rage
14:06and closed in around me.
14:07Their eyes were red
14:08with hatred.
14:09They stepped closer
14:10and closer.
14:11I shrank back,
14:12curling my arms
14:13around my stomach.
14:14Just when I thought
14:15I would die there,
14:17Dante walked through
14:18the crowd
14:18and stood in front of me.
14:21The security guards
14:22stepped aside
14:23automatically
14:24to let him pass.
14:25He wore a crisp
14:26custom suit
14:27and polished
14:27leather shoes.
14:28He stood in stark,
14:30ugly contrast
14:30to the blood-covered
14:32people around him.
14:33I huddled in the corner,
14:34my fingers twisted tight
14:36in my dress.
14:37The baby inside me
14:37seemed to sense danger
14:39and gave a soft kick.
14:40Dante squatted down
14:41in front of me
14:42and brushed the messy hair
14:43off my forehead.
14:45Alara.
14:45He spoke my name
14:46like a sigh,
14:47his thumb brushing
14:48my swollen cheek.
14:50Does it hurt?
14:51His warm breath
14:52brushed my ear,
14:53but his words
14:53were poisoned.
14:54You are my wife,
14:57but you killed
14:58everyone in this family.
15:00I can't let you live.
15:02He had come
15:02to pass sentence on me.
15:04If he branded me
15:05as a traitor
15:05who had lured enemies
15:06to the island,
15:07he could execute me openly.
15:09Then no one
15:09would remember
15:10that he was the one
15:11who had stripped
15:12the island of defenses.
15:13When Dante's boot
15:14slammed hard
15:15into my stomach,
15:16I heard the sound
15:16of something alive,
15:17shattering.
15:18I curled up on the ground,
15:19my nails digging
15:20into the cracks
15:21of the concrete floor.
15:22Warm blood
15:22pooled between my legs
15:24and snaked
15:25across the gray ground
15:26in a bright,
15:27cruel trail.
15:28I shook
15:28and pressed my hand
15:29to my stomach.
15:30The soft curve
15:31that had been there
15:31only moments before
15:32was gone,
15:33flat and cold.
15:35Five months of life,
15:3617 little kicks,
15:38all the nights
15:38I'd talked
15:39to the ultrasound picture alone,
15:40all of it turned to blood
15:42under that one kick.
15:43Lila was still
15:44standing next to me,
15:45righteously accusing me.
15:47Elada,
15:48this is so wrong of you.
15:49Even if I spend time
15:51with Dante,
15:51you've always been
15:52the most important person
15:53to him.
15:54How could you joke
15:55about something like this?
15:56She blinked
15:57and let a single,
15:58perfect tear
15:58slide down her cheek.
16:00Just as Dante
16:00raised his hand
16:01to order the guards
16:02to take me away,
16:03a sharp shout
16:03cut through the air.
16:04Stop!
16:06Rain walked over
16:07with a group of children.
16:08Only then did everyone
16:09learn what had happened.
16:10To preserve
16:11the family bloodline,
16:12the matriarch
16:13had led all the women
16:14to a desperate
16:15final stand.
16:16They had given their lives
16:17to carve a path
16:18of escape for the children.
16:19The frantic men
16:20rushed forward
16:21and hugged
16:21their surviving children.
16:23The children were safe,
16:24but the mothers
16:25and grandmothers
16:25who had died
16:26would never come back.
16:27Dante's face
16:28turned deathly pale,
16:29his lips pressed
16:30into a hard,
16:31thin line.
16:32He could not speak
16:33a single word.
16:34We survived.
16:35Rain turned
16:35and pointed straight
16:36at his own brother,
16:37his eyes burning
16:38with hatred.
16:39If you hadn't
16:40taken all the men
16:41and all the weapons,
16:43none of this
16:44would have happened.
16:46You and Leela
16:48killed everyone.
16:49Marco stared at him
16:50with bloodshot eyes,
16:51his voice rough
16:52and raw.
16:53Don,
16:53you told us Lady Allura
16:55was lying out of jealousy.
16:56You told us to stay
16:57and enjoy the birthday
16:58with you and Leela.
16:59Now look,
17:00how did my mom die?
17:02Where are my wife and kid?
17:04The men who had lost
17:05their families
17:06advanced on him,
17:07furious.
17:07Dante's face
17:08went whiter and whiter.
17:10He stepped backward.
17:11I looked at all the blood
17:12on the ground
17:12and let silent tears fall.
17:14I had been reborn.
17:15I had saved myself,
17:17but I had not saved everyone.
17:19The screaming crowd
17:20lunged at Dante and Leela.
17:22Their cries of pain
17:23rose one after another.
17:24I should have felt satisfied,
17:26but all I felt
17:27was endless,
17:28hollow sorrow.
17:29The next second,
17:30I passed out.
17:31When I opened my eyes again,
17:33the sharp smell
17:34of antiseptic
17:35filled my nose.
17:37Outside the window,
17:37the occasional crash
17:39of collapsing buildings
17:40sent plumes of dust
17:41into the air.
17:42I lay in a bed
17:43at the makeshift medical station,
17:45listening to the metal frame
17:46creak under its own weight.
17:47The wound on my stomach
17:49ached dully.
17:50The flat feel
17:50under the bandages
17:51was a constant reminder
17:53of the baby
17:53I would never hold.
17:55Marco knelt straight
17:56and rigid on the floor.
17:57When he heard me move,
17:58he looked up sharply.
17:59His hard, stern face
18:01was streaked
18:01with tears and snot.
18:03He struck his forehead
18:04hard against the floor once,
18:05his voice trembling.
18:07I am not a man.
18:10I have failed you,
18:12my lady.
18:13Rain waved a hand
18:14in front of my eyes.
18:16Alara,
18:16you look terrible.
18:18He draped his tactical coat
18:20over my shoulders.
18:21I came back to my senses.
18:23I realized my nails
18:24had dug deep
18:25into my palms.
18:26The damp sea wind
18:27rolled in through the window,
18:29carrying the taste of rust.
18:30It merged eerily
18:31with the memory of blood
18:32in the delivery room.
18:33Marco kept apologizing
18:34over and over.
18:36Enough.
18:37You only trusted
18:38his judgment?
18:40As soon as I finished speaking,
18:41Rain slapped
18:42the back of Marco's head.
18:43Now you know
18:44you were wrong.
18:46Weren't you pretty tough
18:47when you grabbed her earlier?
18:48Marco did not dodge
18:49or flinch.
18:50He suddenly grabbed my hand
18:52and pressed it
18:52against his own face.
18:53His cheekbone
18:54dug into my knuckles,
18:55sharp and hard.
18:56Hot liquid
18:57dripped down
18:58our laced fingers.
18:59No one could tell
18:59if it was his tears
19:00or the blood
19:01from my palm.
19:02I deserved to die.
19:04I was blind.
19:06I...
19:07Enough.
19:09I knew the pain
19:10of losing family
19:11would be a scar
19:11on him for life,
19:12but I was also drowning
19:13in my own grief
19:14over the baby.
19:15I had no more comfort
19:16to give.
19:17After a long silence,
19:18I spoke.
19:19My voice was soft,
19:20but sharp
19:21with icy resolve.
19:22Marco,
19:23do something for me.
19:24I want Dante
19:26and Leela
19:26to pay.
19:27He lifted his head sharply.
19:29His red-rimmed eyes
19:30held firm resolve.
19:32He nodded heavily.
19:33I follow your orders.
19:35Rain was the first
19:35to stand up.
19:36That heartless bastard
19:37doesn't deserve
19:38to be Don.
19:39Why should we trust him
19:41with our lives?
19:42Marco stood in silence.
19:43He drew a custom,
19:44tactical knife
19:45from his waist.
19:45It had been a promotional gift
19:47from Dante years ago.
19:48He stamped hard
19:49on the blade
19:50with his boot.
19:50The steel blade
19:51snapped clean in two.
19:53From today on,
19:54I, Marco,
19:56swear fealty
19:56only to Lady Alara.
19:58He dropped to one knee.
19:59He held the broken blade
20:00above his head
20:01and pressed his right hand
20:02to the family crest
20:03on his chest.
20:04It was the highest oath
20:05of loyalty
20:06in a mafia family.
20:07Like a signal being lit,
20:08more people filed
20:09into the room
20:10from outside.
20:11Branch leaders,
20:12security captains,
20:13even representatives
20:14from the retired elders.
20:16They dropped
20:17to one knee,
20:18one by one,
20:19right hands
20:20pressed to their chests.
20:21We pledge our loyalty
20:22to Lady Alara.
20:23I leaned against the headboard.
20:25Watching the dark crowd below,
20:27my fingertips trembled slightly.
20:29The pain of losing my child
20:30still gnawed at my bones,
20:32but I knew I could not fall.
20:34I pushed myself up slowly
20:35with my arms.
20:37Rain stepped forward
20:38at once to support me.
20:40Help me up.
20:43It's time to go see
20:44our good dawn.
20:45In the basement holding cell,
20:47Dante and Lila
20:48were strapped to metal chairs.
20:49The once glorious
20:51dawn of Valenti
20:52was now covered in blood,
20:53his suit crumpled and torn.
20:55Yet he still held
20:56his spine straight.
20:57There was no trace
20:58of cowardice
20:59or begging in his eyes.
21:00Lila huddled beside him,
21:02her hair messy,
21:03her face streaked
21:04with tears.
21:05She saw me walk in,
21:06and her eyes reddened
21:07at once.
21:08Mr. Alara,
21:09I know I was wrong.
21:10I shouldn't have
21:11taken your husband.
21:12I'll give Dante back to you.
21:14Please let me go,
21:15won't you?
21:15I did not look at her.
21:16My gaze fell straight
21:17on Dante's face.
21:19He glared up at me,
21:20fiercely,
21:20as a trapped lion.
21:21Alara,
21:22you dare betray
21:23your superior?
21:24I am the Don
21:25of the Valati family.
21:26I walked slowly
21:27to stand in front of him,
21:29looking down
21:29with the faintest smile.
21:33Don?
21:35Dante,
21:35do you even deserve
21:36to say that word?
21:37You abandoned your post
21:38for a woman.
21:40You stripped the island
21:41of all defenses.
21:42You let enemies
21:43overrun the estate
21:44and get our women
21:46and elders killed.
21:47Do you deserve
21:48of the Valati name?
21:50Do you deserve
21:51the dead?
21:52He strained
21:53against his chains,
21:54making them rattle loudly.
21:55Bullshit!
21:56You colluded
21:57with the Rizzo family!
21:58You led them here
21:59on purpose!
21:59You're just jealous
22:00of Leela!
22:01I laughed out loud,
22:02my tone thick
22:03with scorn.
22:03Jealous?
22:04Dante,
22:05you think far
22:06too high of yourself.
22:07You think I care
22:08about your cheap,
22:09worthless affection?
22:10What I care about
22:11is the Valati family's
22:13hundred-year legacy.
22:14What I care about
22:15are the lives
22:16on this island
22:17and you destroyed
22:18all of it
22:20for some cheap mistress.
22:22Leela cried harder,
22:23gasping out her defense.
22:25No, I didn't.
22:26Dante, tell her
22:27it's not like that.
22:28Dante roared at me.
22:29Shut your mouth!
22:30Leela is innocent
22:31and kind.
22:32You drove her to this.
22:33Alara, let me go now
22:35and I'll let this slide.
22:36Otherwise, when I get out...
22:37I cut him off coldly.
22:39There will be no otherwise.
22:43Now you can talk
22:44to your brother.
