00:00C'est notre wedding day.
00:01Mon mari, Lorenzo, et l'Ide juste dit notre vows.
00:07Un groupe de gunmen suddenly burst in et opened fire.
00:10Lorenzo n'a pas hésité.
00:12Il m'a mis en main, m'a mis en main,
00:14m'a mis en main, m'a mis en main,
00:15m'a mis en main, et m'a mis en main.
00:18Les hommes m'a mis en main à la terre.
00:23Right là, en front de chaque capo et maidman
00:26qui venait à voir nous marier.
00:28Ils violaient me.
00:30Le hall eruptait dans le chaos
00:32et les gens s'écramblaient à l'escapée.
00:34Je suis presque breathing,
00:36broken, bleeding, everywhere.
00:39Mom et Dad watched it happen.
00:43Mon frère, Marco,
00:45m'a mis en main avec les mains de l'avant.
00:49Il m'a mis en main avec les mains.
00:49Il m'a mis en main,
00:51il m'a mis en main dans l'eau de Don's study,
00:53me demande.
00:54Don, je demande pour votre permission
00:55pour aller après les shooters.
00:56Please, send the best doctors to her.
01:01Please, save her.
01:03I drifted in and out,
01:05but I heard them.
01:06My brother and my husband
01:08talking in the next room.
01:10The shooters are gone.
01:11I cleaned it up.
01:13Nobody will ever know
01:14you sent them in
01:14to do that to my sister.
01:16That was Marco.
01:17But the story has to hold.
01:18What are we telling your father,
01:19the old Don?
01:22I'll tell him the story
01:23we agreed on,
01:23that she sold me out.
01:25She fed our rivals everything.
01:27The timing,
01:28the doors,
01:29my movements.
01:30She walked me into a hit
01:31at my own wedding.
01:32I escaped before they could get to me,
01:34so she became the target
01:35of their rage.
01:36Good idea, but
01:37be straight with me, though.
01:39You wanted Gabrielle
01:40as your wife,
01:40if you could have just said it.
01:41I'd have talked Aurora
01:42into stepping aside on her own.
01:44It wouldn't matter
01:44if you kept each other as lovers.
01:46You didn't have to
01:46put her through this.
01:47Lorenzo's voice came back,
01:49calm.
01:50A woman as proud as Aurora?
01:52She'd never hand her place
01:54to Gabriella,
01:54not willingly.
01:56She has to believe
01:57she doesn't deserve it.
01:59Only then
02:00will she bow her head
02:01and answer to Gabriella and I
02:03for the rest of her life.
02:04When you were dying,
02:05Gabriella donated bone marrow
02:07to save your life.
02:10I lost my shot
02:12with her for good.
02:13We threw Aurora
02:14to the wolves, sure,
02:15but there was no other way.
02:17Not if we wanted
02:18Gabriella happy.
02:19My brother actually
02:20agreed with him.
02:22So what if people think
02:24Aurora betrayed us?
02:25She's still my sister.
02:27Nobody in the family
02:28would dare say
02:29a word against her.
02:32Just don't treat her badly
02:33from here on.
02:35I'm only paying Gabriella back.
02:37The one I love most
02:38will always be Aurora.
02:40I've put every property
02:41in her name.
02:41Even as a mistress,
02:43she'll be the most
02:43spoiled woman alive.
02:45She'll be content.
02:47And just like that,
02:48the two of them sat there
02:50and carved up
02:51the rest of my life.
02:52So that was it.
02:55Everything I'd suffered tonight
02:56was just paving the road
02:58for Gabriella.
02:59They had no idea.
03:01The one donated bone marrow
03:02to save Lorenzo
03:04was me.
03:05The Owen
03:05who took that bullet
03:06from Marco
03:07was me.
03:08The ring Lorenzo
03:10slid onto my finger
03:11at the altar.
03:12I scraped together
03:13the last of my strength.
03:15I tore it off
03:16and smashed it
03:17against the floor.
03:18This kind of love,
03:19this kind of family,
03:20I don't want any of it.
03:24The doctors came fast.
03:26They crowded around me,
03:27sweating, frantic.
03:32Thank God
03:33Marco got us here in time.
03:34She can still be saved.
03:35Their words
03:36only made my brother
03:37and my husband
03:37look worse.
03:39In her chances
03:39of having children,
03:40she can recover.
03:42With care,
03:43she could still
03:43be a mother one day.
03:44The moment they said it,
03:46Lorenzo's face
03:47went cold.
03:48He took a step forward,
03:49grabbed a scalpel
03:50from the tray beside me
03:51and drove it
03:52toward my lower abdomen.
03:54Don Ferrara!
03:55The doctors were screaming.
03:57Lorenzo's hand
03:58was shaking,
03:59but he gritted his teeth
04:00and drove it in deeper.
04:02Made sure I'd never
04:04carry a child again.
04:06Stop!
04:07I can't risk her
04:08ever bearing a child.
04:10I howled in pain,
04:11unable to move an inch
04:12because of the drugs.
04:13Don Ferrara!
04:14Don Ferrara!
04:14How could you do this?
04:15She's your wife!
04:16Even if everyone
04:17suspects she betrayed us,
04:18she doesn't deserve
04:19to be hurt like this.
04:20Her womb is ruined.
04:21She'll never carry
04:22a child again.
04:24It'll wreck her body.
04:25To be honest,
04:26I can't promise
04:26she'll live to sea next year.
04:28But none of it
04:29swayed him.
04:30He carried on
04:30with his plan
04:31without the slightest hesitation.
04:33I could never
04:34suspect Aurora,
04:35but I gave Gabriela
04:36my word.
04:37Everything she wants,
04:38she gets.
04:39She wants her child
04:40to be my only heir.
04:42I won't break
04:43a promise to her.
04:44He wiped the sweat
04:45from my forehead.
04:47Aurora,
04:48you understand,
04:49don't you?
04:50Whatever it costs,
04:51I swear I'll make sure
04:52you live a long,
04:53long life.
04:55Marco let out
04:56a long breath,
04:57then turned
04:58to the doctors.
04:59Not one word
05:00of this leaves the room.
05:01He set his gun
05:02on the table.
05:03None of them
05:03dared speak again.
05:04Lorenzo's eyes
05:05were red.
05:06Give her something
05:07for the pain!
05:08Can't you see
05:09she's suffering?
05:12Aurora,
05:13I'll never let
05:14anyone hurt you again.
05:15Don't be afraid.
05:17Aurora, Lorenzo,
05:18and I will watch
05:18over you
05:19until you're well.
05:19The ones who'd
05:20hurt me most
05:21were the two people
05:22closest to me.
05:24Lorenzo held me tight.
05:25My brother stood guard.
05:27They looked like
05:28they were falling
05:28apart over me.
05:30Then a maid
05:31came to the door.
05:33Miss Gabriela's
05:34trying on the gown.
05:35She's asking
05:35if you'd come see.
05:36And just like that,
05:37both of them
05:38forgot how to breathe.
05:42How funny.
05:43One second
05:44they were swearing
05:45to watch over me,
05:46terrified I'd slip away.
05:48The next,
05:49their hearts
05:49were already
05:50somewhere else.
05:51I won't go.
05:53I designed
05:53that gown myself.
05:55Picked every detail.
05:56I'll see her in it
05:57at the ceremony
05:58soon enough.
05:59I won't go either.
06:00I had Gabriela's
06:02tiara made.
06:03I already know
06:04exactly what it looks like.
06:05Everything for the wedding
06:06was ready a month ago.
06:07I told her to rest
06:08and look after the baby.
06:09Her trunceries handled too.
06:11Ten years I saved for it.
06:13Enough to fill a ballroom.
06:14No one will ever
06:15look down on her.
06:16But Aurora's life
06:17is hanging by a thread.
06:19We should stay with her.
06:20For the first time,
06:22they chose me.
06:23And it only broke
06:24my heart further.
06:25So they could be
06:26this tender,
06:27this careful,
06:28planning every last detail
06:30of another woman's wedding.
06:32A gown designed by hand.
06:34A tiara worth a fortune.
06:35A trousseau
06:36ten years in the making.
06:38And me?
06:38We were engaged
06:40a full year.
06:42Lorenzo said
06:43he didn't like a fuss.
06:44Marco said
06:45I shouldn't be extravagant.
06:46All I had
06:47were the few battered cases
06:49my mother left me
06:50before she died.
06:51The other women
06:51laughed at me,
06:52called me a charity case.
06:54I altered my mother's
06:55old wedding dress myself,
06:56stitch by stitch.
06:58My fingers
06:59were raw with it.
07:00When I showed it
07:01to Lorenzo,
07:02he barely glanced at me.
07:04That careless
07:05little smile.
07:05Was it careless
07:07because he already knew
07:08that whatever I wore
07:09I'd be torn apart
07:11at my own wedding?
07:12Was he smiling
07:13because he was thinking
07:14of the gown
07:15he'd designed
07:16for Gabriela?
07:17I passed out
07:18to the sound
07:18of their horrified,
07:20grieving cry.
07:24When I woke,
07:26Marco and Lorenzo
07:27were kneeling by my bed,
07:28unshaven, hollow.
07:30Aurora.
07:31The second I opened
07:32my eyes,
07:32their faces lit up.
07:34You're awake.
07:36This is my fault.
07:37I should have
07:38protect you.
07:39I couldn't even
07:40save my own sister.
07:42I should cut off
07:43my own hands.
07:44He pressed a blade
07:46to his wrist
07:46like he meant to do it.
07:48I shut my eyes
07:49and swallowed
07:50every bitter tear.
07:53How could I ever
07:54blame you?
07:55If anything's to blame,
07:57it's just my own
07:58rotten luck.
07:58blame only me
08:00for loving the wrong man,
08:01for trusting the wrong people.
08:03They looked even more
08:05heartbroken,
08:06but there was
08:06no guilt in them.
08:08Aurora,
08:09the doctor said
08:12after what those men
08:13did to you,
08:13you'll never be able
08:14to have a child again.
08:16But don't worry,
08:18no one outside this room
08:19will ever know.
08:20Not this,
08:21not the truth
08:22about the wedding.
08:23I'll never look at you
08:24any differently.
08:25You'll always be
08:26the one I love most.
08:28just rest.
08:30And if you really
08:31want a child someday,
08:33someday we'll adopt one.
08:35You can raise it
08:36as your own.
08:37All right?
08:38I laughed without a sound.
08:40Adopt a child?
08:42Gabriella's child?
08:46I'm not even allowed
08:47to bear my own.
08:48What right do I have
08:50to raise hers?
08:51No need.
08:52I wasn't born lucky enough.
08:54I looked at him,
08:55then at my brother,
08:56and begged.
08:56I only ask you
08:57for one thing.
08:58Give me back my babe.
09:01Please.
09:02Their eyes
09:02filled with confusion.
09:04Babe?
09:05Aurora,
09:05you mean the baby
09:06you'll never get to have?
09:07I swear even the best
09:09doctors in the world
09:09couldn't bring that chance back.
09:12Don't torture yourself
09:13like this.
09:14I swear nothing like this
09:15will ever happen again.
09:16Just treat it as the last
09:18thing I'll ever ask of you.
09:21Silly.
09:22How could it be
09:23the last thing?
09:24Whatever you want,
09:25we'll find it for you.
09:26They coaxed the medicine
09:27down my throat.
09:28They thought the drugs
09:28would knock me out,
09:29but they didn't know.
09:30I was already in too much pain
09:32for any drug to touch.
09:34I've already spoken
09:35to Donna Vittoria
09:35and the old Don.
09:36I told them Aurora
09:37sold me out,
09:38that she fed our rivals
09:39everything.
09:40The timing,
09:41the doors,
09:42my movements.
09:42They're sending people
09:43for her soon.
09:44Their methods are cruel.
09:45I can't bear to watch
09:46Aurora suffer.
09:47I'll go before they arrive.
09:49I've told my father
09:50and mother too.
09:52They know Aurora
09:53betrayed the family.
09:54They'll come to ask
09:55that she be stripped
09:55of her place,
09:56cast down to nothing.
09:59If we hadn't staged
10:00all of this
10:01and turned the old Don
10:02and my parents
10:02against Aurora,
10:04there was no way
10:05she wouldn't have
10:05ended up marrying you.
10:08Don't you think
10:09I want to see
10:09Roya suffer like this?
10:11I lay there,
10:12listening,
10:13and felt my heart
10:14tear clean in two.
10:17After they left,
10:18Donna Vittoria's
10:19people came,
10:20my disgrace
10:20had already spread
10:21through the whole family.
10:23She walked up to my bed,
10:24hand pressed to her chest
10:26like the sight of me
10:26sickened her.
10:27A filthy little rat.
10:29She sold us out
10:30at her own wedding.
10:34Donna Vittoria,
10:35please don't upset yourself.
10:37Yes,
10:38she betrayed us.
10:40She nearly got Lorenzo killed.
10:42Also nearly killed
10:43some of the most powerful people
10:45who attended the wedding.
10:46But look at her now,
10:47broken.
10:48She'll never even have a child.
10:50She's pitiful enough.
10:51Let it go.
10:52It only stoked
10:53the matriarch's rage.
10:55Pitiful?
10:56If those men
10:56had finished her off,
10:57that would have been a mercy.
10:59From today,
11:00Aurora Castellano
11:01is stripped of her name.
11:02Cast out!
11:03Drag her into the street
11:05and let everyone
11:05see what a rat gets.
11:07The men
11:07who'd leered at me
11:08days ago
11:09were waiting outside.
11:10They ignored my screams,
11:13hauled me all the way
11:14to the front gates.
11:16Everyone passing by
11:17stopped to watch,
11:18sneering,
11:19disgusted.
11:21Help me!
11:22Someone help me!
11:23No one cared.
11:25They just wanted the show.
11:26I heard she'd been feeding
11:28our rivals information
11:28for months.
11:30Sold us
11:30and her husband
11:31all out for money.
11:32At her own wedding,
11:33can you believe it?
11:34Her parents nearly
11:35dropped dead on the spite.
11:36Just then,
11:38a car phone rang out.
11:39A black car rolled up.
11:41I lifted my head.
11:43It was my father's car.
11:45The words
11:46scraped out of my throat.
11:48Dad,
11:49help me.
11:55My father stepped out,
11:56his face cold and dead.
11:59Dad,
12:01help me.
12:02I reached for him,
12:03desperate,
12:03praying the man
12:04loved me more
12:05than his own life
12:06would believe me.
12:07Save me.
12:11The Castellinos
12:12don't raise rats.
12:13You sold your own husband
12:15to his enemies
12:15on his wedding day.
12:16You've shamed us
12:17and the Ferraris both.
12:19From this day,
12:20you are no daughter of mine.
12:21Do whatever you want with her.
12:25Dad,
12:25I'm innocent.
12:27Please,
12:28save your daughter.
12:29But he only looked
12:30at me coldly.
12:31You disgust us, Aurora.
12:32If you had any shame left,
12:33you'd already be dead.
12:34The tears blurred my eyes,
12:36blurred his back
12:37as he walked away.
12:38Should I die?
12:39But what had I done wrong?
12:41I only thought
12:42I'd married the love
12:43of my life.
12:45Lorenzo came running
12:46from the street
12:47and pulled me
12:48into his arms.
12:49who gave you permission
12:50to touch Aurora?
12:56Mother,
12:57what will it take
12:58for you to let her go?
12:59I've said it before.
13:01Aurora is the only woman
13:02I'll ever love.
13:02No matter what she's become,
13:04no matter what she's done,
13:05I love her.
13:06Have you lost your mind?
13:08She's a rat!
13:09Why do you even care?
13:11If you won't let me keep Aurora,
13:14then I'll take her punishment
13:15with her.
13:16Lorenzo shielded me
13:17with his body
13:17and took every blow
13:19without a sound,
13:20like he loved me
13:21down to the bone.
13:22But I was already
13:23ash inside.
13:24I shoved him out of my arms
13:26and fell back
13:27under the blows.
13:28Aurora Castellini
13:29isn't fit to be
13:30a Don's wife.
13:31I'm asking to be set aside.
13:33You and Gabriela
13:34belong together.
13:35Let her take my place.
13:37I hope you get
13:38everything you ever wanted.
13:39Lorenzo held me tight,
13:41shaking.
13:41I couldn't tell
13:42if it was grief
13:43or the thrill of Gabriela
13:44finally becoming his wife.
13:46Aurora, listen to me.
13:48Gabriela and I,
13:49it's all an act.
13:50You're the only one I love.
13:52We'll be together forever.
13:53I swear it.
13:54I didn't move.
13:55Forever is too long, Lorenzo.
13:58I don't want to love you
13:59for even one more second.
14:02Once my gift is ready,
14:04I'll leave this place
14:05for good.
14:08When I woke again,
14:10I wasn't in my old room.
14:13I called out for a long time
14:15before a maid finally came in.
14:17Why am I here?
14:18What are you yelling about?
14:19Where am I?
14:20Wounds are open.
14:21Please get me some...
14:21You're just a cheap mistress now.
14:24Even if you drop dead,
14:25they'll just toss you out.
14:26Why would anyone
14:27waste medicine on you?
14:29Don Ferrari had us
14:30clear out the storage room
14:31for you.
14:32You're a nobody now.
14:33Why would you sleep
14:34in the main house?
14:35That belongs to our new Donna.
14:37She sneered.
14:41It's the wedding night, you know.
14:43Don Ferraro said
14:44no one's to disturb them
14:44for three days.
14:46Don't try to fake an illness
14:47to crawl back to him.
14:49My chest felt like
14:50it was being eaten alive.
14:54Still think she's the Don's wife?
14:56Still think she's a Castielani?
14:59The whole city already knows
15:01what she did.
15:02Her own family burned
15:03every record with her name on it.
15:05The room was freezing,
15:07but it wasn't half as cold
15:09as the things they said about me.
15:11I curled under the thin blanket,
15:14coughing.
15:14Blood kept rising in my throat.
15:16The door opened.
15:20My maid, Lucia,
15:22was shoved inside.
15:24Rora, I'm sorry.
15:26I couldn't get you any medicine.
15:27I couldn't even get some heat.
15:29They said the Don can't allow anyone
15:31to disturb on his wedding day,
15:32so they locked us out here.
15:34Rora, what do we do?
15:36I coughed and pointed
15:37at the corner of the room
15:38where dust-covered boxes
15:40were piled high.
15:41Bring those over.
15:42Or burn them.
15:43It was the dead of winter.
15:44At this rate,
15:45even if the bleeding didn't kill me,
15:47the cold would.
15:48Lucia carried them over,
15:50one by one.
15:54Her face went from shock
15:55to grief.
15:58Rora, these are...
15:59All of it familiar.
16:00Every gift I'd ever given Lorenzo.
16:03No wonder I'd never seen him
16:04use any of them.
16:06What you give me is too precious.
16:08I keep it all safe
16:09somewhere you'll never
16:10have to worry about it.
16:13Turns out,
16:14somewhere safe
16:15was a storage room.
16:17Me and these things.
16:18What's the difference, really?
16:19burn it all.
16:23She fed them to the fire,
16:25one by one.
16:27The last thing she pulled out
16:28was a small portrait.
16:31Lorenzo had it commissioned
16:32of me on my 18th birthday.
16:36I would carry it on him
16:37every day.
16:38Now, it looked like trash.
16:40On the back,
16:41in his own handwriting,
16:43I snatched it out of her hands
16:45and threw it into the fire.
16:48Until our hair turns grey.
16:51What a lie.
16:52Rora.
16:54They're saying Don Ferraro
16:55favors Gabriella
16:56because she's the one
16:57who saved his life.
16:58When that hit was put out
16:59on him a few years back,
17:00when he almost bled out,
17:01they said she was the one
17:02who matched him.
17:03They said she let them
17:04drill into her bones for him.
17:06That's why he owes her.
17:07Rora.
17:08But you were the one
17:09who saved him.
17:10You almost died doing it.
17:12You lost your...
17:14Rora,
17:15if we just tell him the truth,
17:17he'll come back to you.
17:18He'll fix all of this.
17:22It's the same with Marco.
17:24He thinks Gabriella
17:25took a bullet for him.
17:27Everyone keeps saying
17:28she's the one
17:28who stepped in front of that gun,
17:30but it was you.
17:31It was always you.
17:33Miss, please.
17:34Just hold on.
17:35If I can get out of here,
17:37I'll find Don Ferrero
17:38and Marco.
17:38I'll tell them everything.
17:39They'll come back.
17:40They'll save you.
17:43Is that really all of it?
17:48Even if I hadn't been
17:49the one who saved
17:50either of them,
17:51even if it had really
17:52been Gabriella,
17:54does that mean
17:55I deserved any of this?
17:59Does the debt he owes her
18:00give him the right
18:01to throw me to those men?
18:03To take away my chance
18:04to ever have a child?
18:05To turn me into this?
18:09What about us?
18:12What about 20 years
18:13between him and me?
18:15When I got married,
18:16Marco gave me
18:17the only piece of dowry
18:18I had,
18:19a single trunk,
18:20the one Gabriella
18:21had it filled.
18:22I opened it
18:23for the first time.
18:25Inside
18:25was nothing but rags.
18:27This was the gift
18:28my brother prepared for me.
18:33For Gabriella's sake,
18:35my brother stood by
18:36and watched Lorenzo
18:37do all of this.
18:39He let me be torn down.
18:41He let me be cast out.
18:44What about the promise
18:45he made when we were kids
18:46that he'd always protect me?
18:49What about all those years
18:50I had his back?
18:50What about everything
18:51I did for him?
18:53I laughed and cried
18:55at the same time.
18:56What about all of it?
18:58What does any of it count for?
19:00How could they believe
19:01a story that flitzy?
19:03How could they not
19:04see through it?
19:04Because they wanted
19:05to believe it.
19:07They wanted a reason.
19:08A reason to hurt me
19:09without feeling guilty.
19:11A reason to love
19:12someone else openly.
19:14They were betting
19:15that I loved them
19:15too much to ever leave.
19:17A piece of glass
19:18that won't break
19:19the first time you drop it,
19:20you drop it again.
19:21and again.
19:23They tell themselves,
19:24see,
19:25it didn't break.
19:26It was an accident.
19:28It's tough enough.
19:29But I'm not glass.
19:30I bleed.
19:31Why should I
19:32be the thing
19:33they keep dropping?
19:34Why should I let them
19:35do it again?
19:36The flames roared.
19:37So did the hate
19:38in my chest.
19:39I'm not wasting
19:40the rest of my life
19:41on two men
19:41who never deserved it.
19:45When I opened
19:46my eyes again,
19:47Lorenzo was sitting
19:48at the edge of my bed.
19:49he pulled me
19:50into his arms.
19:52You knew.
19:53You knew I made
19:54Gabriella my wife
19:55to keep you safe.
19:56How could you be
19:56this childish,
19:57setting that storage room
19:59on fire to throw a tantrum?
20:00Do you know the smoke
20:01nearly sent Gabriella
20:02into early labor?
20:06I was freezing to death
20:07in there,
20:07now lighting a fire
20:08to stay alive
20:09is a crime?
20:10Did the smoke scare
20:11into early labor?
20:12Or did the two of you
20:13wear her out
20:14and bring it on yourselves?
20:15His face changed.
20:17He yanked his collar up.
20:18He tried to coax me.
20:20Be reasonable.
20:21Gabriella gave up
20:22everything for us.
20:23On our wedding night,
20:24I had to give her something.
20:26Just this once.
20:27I swear.
20:28He handed me my pills
20:30and a glass of water.
20:31I know it bothers you,
20:33but it's about a debt
20:34I owe her.
20:36That hit they put out
20:37on me a few years back,
20:38I almost bled out
20:39on the table.
20:40Nobody on the East Coast
20:41was a match for me.
20:43Gabriella was.
20:45She let them drill
20:46into her bones
20:46to pull the marrow
20:47they needed
20:48to keep me breathing.
20:49The damage to her body,
20:51she'll carry it
20:51the rest of her life.
20:53My chest filled
20:55with a sea of rage.
21:02What does her body
21:03have to do with mine?
21:05She gave hers up
21:06for you, fine.
21:08But why does that mean
21:09I deserve to lose mine?
21:13What?
21:13What are you talking about?
21:16What happened to you
21:17is your own bad luck.
21:19What does Gabriella
21:20have to do with it?
21:21What do I have to do with it?
21:30You've lost your mind.
21:31For your sake,
21:33I've taken every joke
21:33about not being able
21:34to control my own wife.
21:36I begged Dana Vitoria
21:37not to send you out
21:38on the street.
21:39And you don't remember
21:40any of it.
21:41You only blame me.
21:45I was wrong about you.
21:47You're not half the woman
21:48Gabriella is.
21:49All those years,
21:50I spoiled you
21:51and treated her like nothing.
21:53And not once
21:54did she blame me.
21:55She always defended me.
21:56She let them drill
21:57into her bones for me.
21:58She would have died
21:59on that table for me.
22:00You,
22:01when that hit went down,
22:02where were you?
22:04You couldn't even
22:04come to the hospital.
22:06Even now,
22:07you still don't get it.
22:10Lorenzo,
22:12everything coming out
22:12of your mouth
22:13makes me sick.
22:14You want to know
22:14where I was?
22:15Then why don't you ever ask
22:16where was I
22:16for those three months?
22:17The three months
22:18after the hit,
22:20I never showed up once.
22:21Where do you think I went?
22:22You could have made
22:23one phone call.
22:24One,
22:24and you'd know everything.
22:28You're not about to tell me
22:29you were the match,
22:29are you?
22:30That you were the one
22:31who got cut open for me?
22:32That you disappeared
22:33for three months
22:33because you were
22:34the one in recovery?
22:36you think I'd believe that.
22:39You never wanted to believe me.
22:41So what's the point
22:42of saying anything?
22:45Hopeless.
22:48Aurora,
22:49look at you.
22:51So pitiful.
22:52Used to walk around
22:53like you own the world.
22:55Soon you'll be begging me
22:56for a bowl of food
22:57like a dog.
22:59Worse than a dog.
23:00A dog at least is free.
23:01You,
23:01you only live
23:02as long as I let you.
23:03I want you on your knees,
23:04day and night,
23:05by the bed Lorenzo
23:06and I share.
23:07I want you cleaning
23:07his sweat off my skin.
23:08I want you washing
23:09the marks he leaves on me.
23:10I was too far past it now.
23:12Nothing she said
23:12could hurt me anymore.
23:13Actually,
23:14I think it'd be cleaner
23:15if you were just dead.
23:17Wouldn't have to worry
23:18about you ever
23:19taking Lorenzo back.
23:29I stared at faces
23:31I'd been seeing
23:31in nightmares for weeks.
23:33The shooters from the wedding,
23:34they were supposed to be dead.
23:36Take good care
23:37of our former Donna.
23:39Make sure she goes out
23:40feeling really,
23:41really good.
23:43pretty thing.
23:44Did you like the last time?
23:49Get away from me!
24:02Gabriella.
24:05Let me go.
24:07I swear I'll leave the city.
24:09I'll never come back.
24:10I'll never come near Lorenzo again.
24:12I begged her
24:12over and over.
24:14What's all the noise?
24:20Save me, Lorenzo.
24:21Marco, please.
24:23I was worried about her.
24:24I came to bring her medicine.
24:26I didn't know
24:27she'd arrange this.
24:28She brought them here.
24:29She said,
24:30she said if she ruined me too,
24:32you'd never want me again.
24:34Are you insane?
24:36Marco lunged forward.
24:37He swung his pistol
24:38like a club,
24:39cracked it across me.
24:40You went after Gabriella.
24:43You should die.
24:46I coughed up blood.
24:49You sick little bitch.
24:51Lorenzo looked at me
24:52like he was looking
24:53at his worst enemy.
24:54I worried you were
24:55losing your mind in here,
24:56alone.
24:58I asked your brother
24:59to keep you company.
25:01Instead,
25:01you tried to hurt Gabriella.
25:03Gabriella,
25:04who's pregnant.
25:07A woman like you
25:09deserves to die.
25:11Gabriella is everything to us.
25:13You're the rotten one.
25:15Maybe you should get
25:16a real taste
25:17of what those men do.
25:18He pointed at me,
25:20then turned to the shooters.
25:21Whatever she wanted you
25:22to do to Gabriella,
25:23you'd do twice as bad to her.
25:25If she doesn't die,
25:27I kill all of you
25:28for Gabriella.
25:31He turned,
25:32lifted Gabriella,
25:33and walked out.
25:36Marco watched me
25:37reaching for him.
25:39He raised his pistol.
25:41He brought the butt of it
25:42down the length of my wrists.
25:44The bones cracked
25:46through the skin.
25:48Filthy thing.
25:49He smiled.
25:50Go ahead and die.
25:52After they put Gabriella
25:54to bed,
25:54they both ended up
25:55looking out the window,
25:57toward the side wing.
25:58You think I went
25:59too hard on her?
26:00Marco frowned.
26:00Forget it.
26:01Even if she won't admit
26:03she's wrong tonight,
26:04I'll get a doctor
26:04to her in the morning.
26:08And those shooters?
26:09Lorenzo waved it away.
26:11Those men she paid off.
26:14They wouldn't really hurt her.
26:15Just there to scare her.
26:16While they were talking,
26:18smoke rose from the side wing.
26:21Then the sound
26:21of a building collapsing.
26:23A column of fire
26:24shot into the sky.
26:28It's bad.
26:29The Donna,
26:30she set herself on fire.
26:33Impossible.
26:35This is another one
26:36of Aurora's tricks.
26:40Lorenzo snapped.
26:41Nobody touch the fire.
26:44Let her burn.
26:46She needs to be taught
26:47a lesson.
26:48She's gone too far.
26:49Marco paced.
26:50Last time she lit a fire,
26:51it almost put Gabriella
26:52into labor.
26:53She's trying it again
26:54to scare her.
26:56But this fire wasn't
26:57like last time.
26:58It was much bigger.
27:00They got nervous
27:01and started moving
27:02toward it.
27:03No.
27:04For Gabriella's safety,
27:05we can't let it spread.
27:07Move!
27:07Get water!
27:09Lorenzo was already
27:10running for it.
27:10The men had to
27:12hold you back.
27:13Gabriella came
27:14stumbling out,
27:15clutching her belly,
27:16sobbing.
27:19It's another one
27:20of her stunts.
27:21She's trying to scare you.
27:23Trying to scare me
27:25into labor.
27:26Why won't she
27:27let me go?
27:28Then seeing them
27:29ignore her,
27:30still desperate
27:31to get to the fire.
27:32She's too clever
27:33to be in there.
27:35I bet she's
27:36hiding somewhere,
27:37watching us panic.
27:39My stomach!
27:40It hurts.
27:41Lorenzo,
27:42Marco,
27:43take me to a doctor.
27:44You're about
27:44to have a baby.
27:45You shouldn't
27:45be running around.
27:46If your stomach hurts,
27:47you should go lie down.
27:48There's a midwife
27:48at your room.
27:49Go!
27:49We need to find Aurora.
27:52Lorenzo was panicking,
27:53too.
27:53He brushed her off.
27:54Marco,
27:55I think the baby's coming.
27:57Walk me back.
27:59Please.
27:59Marco was watching
28:00the flames.
28:01For the first time,
28:02he ignored her.
28:05He charged
28:06straight into the fire.
28:10Rora!
28:11I'm coming!
28:16He tore
28:16through the burning wing.
28:18Bodies all around
28:20burned beyond recognition.
28:21He reached the bedroom.
28:23What he saw
28:24nearly stopped his heart.
28:26Burned past any feature,
28:28the only thing
28:29he could tell for sure
28:30was the wrists.
28:33Rora!
28:41Boss!
28:42His men dragged him out.
28:44Marco collapsed
28:45in the dirt,
28:46staring at the wreckage.
28:49His eyes were going wild.
28:52We caught one of them.
28:53He was trying to slip out.
28:56I'll kill you!
28:57Marco raised his pistol.
29:00Boss!
29:01Please!
29:02We were just doing
29:03what you told us.
29:05You're the one
29:06who put us on her
29:06at the wedding.
29:08Lorenzo froze.
29:09He grabbed the man's chin
29:11and forced him
29:12into the light.
29:14You.
29:15It's really you.
29:17How is this you?
29:18Aurora couldn't have
29:19put you up to this.
29:20You're supposed to be dead.
29:24We were wrong.
29:26Aurora would never
29:27bring in the men
29:27who hurt her.
29:28Someone else sent them
29:29to kill her.
29:30we were wrong
29:31and we let her die.
29:34That's not possible.
29:35I put a hit on you.
29:36I had my men do it.
29:38You were supposed
29:39to be in the ground.
29:40Boss.
29:42Please.
29:44Someone said
29:45you wanted us
29:46pulled out.
29:47They said
29:47it was your order.
29:49They said
29:49to use us again.
29:52Gabriella screamed.
29:54Blood streamed
29:55down her legs.
29:56It hurts.
29:57The baby's coming.
29:58I'm scared.
29:59Lorenzo.
30:00Marco.
30:02Get him out of here,
30:02please.
30:03Seeing the blood,
30:04Lorenzo abandoned
30:05everything.
30:07He scooped her up
30:08and ran.
30:09Get a doctor!
30:10Marco wiped his face.
30:12He stared
30:12at the smoldering ruin.
30:15Aurora,
30:15I'll find out
30:16who did this.
30:16I swear.
30:18I know exactly
30:19who did it.
30:20Lucia walked
30:21out of the smoke.
30:22You did.
30:27are you happy now?
30:32You locked her
30:33in that storage room.
30:35You wouldn't let her
30:36see a doctor.
30:37You wouldn't give her
30:38food or coal.
30:40Do you know
30:40she burned everything
30:41in that room
30:42just to keep
30:43from freezing to death?
30:44That can't be.
30:45I gave instruction.
30:48Maybe it's for the best.
30:50Otherwise,
30:51I'd never have had
30:51a chance to slip out
30:52and do what she asked
30:53of me.
30:55From the Donna.
30:56Her last things.
30:58Her letter.
30:59And Marco.
31:01I tracked down
31:01the surgeon
31:02who saved your life
31:02back then.
31:03The one who
31:03patched up the bullet.
31:04Ask him who really
31:05took it for you.
31:06You'll know
31:06the second you do.
31:07And Don Ferrara,
31:08the surgeon who
31:08pulled you through,
31:09find him.
31:10He's the only one
31:10who knows how
31:11you really survived.
31:12Open the parcel
31:12in front of him
31:13and the truth
31:13will speak for itself.
31:15Marco's eyes
31:16burned.
31:17His hand shook
31:18so badly
31:18he could hardly
31:19hold the parcel.
31:21Get me Dr. Romano.
31:24Now!
31:24Dr. Romano
31:25was already
31:26waiting at the gate.
31:28Boss,
31:28I wanted to tell you
31:29when you woke up
31:30that the Donna
31:31was the one
31:31who saved you.
31:32But I got pulled out
31:33for an overseas job
31:34that same week.
31:35I never imagined
31:37you'd be in the dark
31:37for so long.
31:38You sure should have known.
31:40The Donna
31:41was running with you
31:42for ten years.
31:43Do you know
31:43how many bullets
31:44she took for you
31:45over the years?
31:46How could you do this
31:48to your own sister
31:48over one lie?
31:52Why?
31:53Because he'd fallen
31:54for Gabriela.
31:55Because if he showed
31:56his sister too much love,
31:58Gabriela would have
31:59less of a shot
32:00at Lorenzo.
32:00He wanted Gabriela
32:02to win,
32:02so he let his own
32:04sister believe.
32:05He'd told himself
32:06that no matter what,
32:08Aurora was a Castellano,
32:10his sister.
32:12Nobody would dare
32:13touch her.
32:14he'd told himself
32:15he could make it up
32:16to her later.
32:17He'd forgotten
32:18that if he and Lorenzo
32:19had never done
32:20any of this,
32:21Aurora wouldn't have
32:22needed to be made up to.
32:24Boss,
32:25she heard everything.
32:27Every plan
32:28you and Don Ferrari
32:29made,
32:29she listened to all of it
32:30from her sickbed.
32:32Marco threw up
32:33a mouthful of blood.
32:34He dropped to his knees.
32:36His heart felt like
32:38it had been torn over.
32:39she'd known the whole time.
32:41No wonder she'd begged
32:43them to give her back
32:43her child.
32:45She knew her life
32:46was already over.
32:47She'd watched the man
32:49she loved sell her out.
32:51She'd lain there
32:52as a piece of her
32:53was carved out of her.
32:55He saw her face
32:56the night he hit her
32:57with his pistol.
32:58He saw the blood
32:58on her mouth.
32:59He felt nothing then.
33:01He'd raised her
33:01since she was small.
33:03The gun he'd carried
33:04to keep her safe,
33:05he'd turned on her
33:06with his own hands.
33:07RARA!
33:11Across the courtyard,
33:12Lorenzo listened
33:13to Gabriela
33:13crying out in labor.
33:15There was no joy in him,
33:16none at all.
33:17He was shaking.
33:18Tears wouldn't stop.
33:19He felt hollowed out,
33:20like a piece of him
33:21had been gouged out.
33:23Had he done this?
33:24Had he killed
33:25the only woman
33:26he ever loved?
33:27Don Ferreiro.
33:28The voice was familiar.
33:29He looked up.
33:30Dr. Bellini,
33:31the surgeon who pulled him
33:32through all those years ago.
33:34Lorenzo grabbed him.
33:35You came.
33:37Gabriela's in labor.
33:38Get to her,
33:38the surgery she had
33:39for me back then.
33:40I'm scared it left damage.
33:41I'm scared we'll lose
33:42her or the baby.
33:43What surgery?
33:44I've never operated
33:45on a Gabriela in my life.
33:47Lorenzo froze.
33:48What are you saying?
33:49Of course you have.
33:50The match.
33:51The donor.
33:52The one who lay down
33:53on the table next to mine
33:54to keep me alive.
33:55Don Fornani.
33:56The match was Aurora.
34:00It was Aurora
34:01on that table.
34:02Aurora I cut open.
34:04Aurora I treated
34:04for three months afterward
34:05at my clinic.
34:06I don't know who's been
34:07telling you anything different
34:08but it was always Aurora
34:09and she was already
34:09carrying your child
34:10when she came to me.
34:11But for saving your life,
34:13she had to give up her baby.
34:18What?
34:19That can't be.
34:20Only Gabriela
34:20turned up pregnant.
34:21Aurora never said a word
34:22about being pregnant.
34:23I don't know how you got
34:24this so wrong.
34:25I told you the day
34:26after the surgery.
34:27The donor needed
34:28three months at my clinic
34:29or her body wouldn't make it.
34:30Aurora disappeared
34:31for three months.
34:32You never once called
34:32to ask after.
34:33I figured you trusted me
34:35with her.
34:36Turns out you didn't even
34:36know she was with me.
34:38Don Fornani.
34:39The damage that procedure
34:41to her body
34:41was catastrophic.
34:42There was almost no chance
34:43a woman who'd been through
34:44that could carry a child.
34:47I did everything I could.
34:48I couldn't save her baby.
34:50She was scared
34:51if you ever found out
34:52you'd blame yourself.
34:53She made me swear
34:54I'd never tell you.
34:55She kept what's left
34:56of the child with her
34:57this whole time.
34:58She couldn't bear
34:59to let go.
35:00Look in the parcel.
35:01You'll see for yourself.
35:02Lorenzo was shaking
35:03so that was why
35:04she'd begged him
35:05to give her back her baby.
35:06She'd been trying
35:07to tell him
35:08the whole truth that day
35:09and he hadn't cared
35:10enough to listen.
35:12He remembered her words.
35:15Why didn't you ever ask
35:16where was I
35:17for those three months?
35:18Why?
35:19Because he hadn't gone
35:20looking for her
35:21when he woke up.
35:21Because Gabriela's lies
35:23were soft
35:24and Gabriela
35:25was right there.
35:26because all along
35:28he'd wanted an excuse
35:30to bring his sweet
35:31little mistress
35:32into the house.
35:33He looked up.
35:35Marco was on his knees
35:36in the courtyard
35:36ashen
35:37holding the parcel.
35:41We did this.
35:43We killed her.
35:46Marco opened the parcel
35:48with trembling hands.
35:50She asked us
35:51to bring something
35:52back for her.
35:53We never even looked.
35:55Inside was a small urn.
35:56she found it herself.
35:57Lorenzo couldn't bring
35:58himself to look
35:59any closer
36:00but he knew.
36:04Aurora!
36:07Every truth
36:08came out
36:09piece by piece.
36:10Every cruelty
36:11Gabriela had ever
36:12done to me
36:13was laid bare.
36:14Even the dowry
36:15Marco had supposedly
36:16given me.
36:17The piece of family
36:18jewelry he'd worked
36:19years to put back
36:20together for me.
36:21Gabriela had stolen it
36:23the night before the wedding
36:24and worn it for herself.
36:25He heard that I'd
36:27wept over the trunk
36:28of rags she'd put
36:29together for me.
36:31He coughed up blood
36:32again.
36:33My Aurora.
36:34How much that must
36:35have hurt her.
36:37I never let her
36:38have a real dowry
36:39because the jewelry
36:40was already worth
36:41a small country.
36:43Adding more on top
36:44would have drawn
36:45the wrong attention.
36:46I never wanted my mother
36:48to spend a cent
36:49but she went to
36:50her grave
36:51thinking her brother
36:52wouldn't give her
36:52anything.
36:55Lorenzo heard
36:56that what I'd
36:57burned in my last
36:58moments to stay
36:59warm was every
37:01gift I'd ever
37:02given him over
37:03the years.
37:05Why?
37:05I told you to
37:07store everything
37:07in my office!
37:08Why did you put it
37:09in the storage room?
37:12My Aurora.
37:14To stay alive
37:15she had to burn
37:15the only things
37:16we ever had together.
37:17how that must
37:18have killed her.
37:19Every single thing
37:20in that storage room
37:22had been Gabriela's
37:23idea.
37:24In the end
37:26it was Lorenzo's
37:27own indulgence
37:29that gave her
37:30the power to do it.
37:32Even the fact
37:33that Gabriela
37:33had been sleeping
37:34with another man
37:35came out.
37:36She passed the baby
37:37off as Lorenzo's
37:39to lock in her
37:40position.
37:41Lorenzo could
37:42barely stay on
37:42his feet.
37:44For a woman
37:45this cold-blooded
37:46I destroyed
37:47the only woman
37:48I ever loved.
37:50My father
37:51and the family
37:51elders heard
37:52the news
37:53and collapsed.
37:54Marco was
37:55dragged to the
37:55chapel.
37:56You unworthy
37:57son.
37:58How could you
37:59do this
38:00to your own
38:00sister?
38:02Thinking of
38:03how I'd reached
38:03for him
38:04from the ground
38:05my father
38:06broke down.
38:11My father
38:12died on the
38:13spot.
38:13My mother
38:14lost her mind.
38:16She wandered
38:17through the house
38:18day and night
38:18calling out for
38:20a daughter
38:20named Aurora.
38:22Marco knelt
38:22in the family
38:23chapel.
38:24Took a hundred
38:25lashes.
38:26Almost didn't
38:27make it.
38:27He held my
38:28photograph
38:28and cried
38:29until his eyes
38:31failed him.
38:32Gabriela
38:32looked for them
38:33for company.
38:34Couldn't find
38:35either of them.
38:36When she
38:37finally came
38:38out of her
38:38recovery room
38:39what greeted
38:40her was a
38:41hollowed out
38:42Lorenzo.
38:42She got a
38:43fright.
38:44But she
38:45caught herself.
38:47It's alright
38:48my love.
38:49Now Aurora
38:50gone.
38:51You have me.
38:52She held
38:52the baby up
38:53glowing.
38:54Asked him
38:55to name it.
38:56Gabriela.
38:58Aurora could
38:59still come back.
39:00But only if
39:01you're willing.
39:02She didn't
39:02catch the
39:03meaning.
39:03She played
39:04along.
39:05Of course
39:06I'm willing.
39:07It's such a
39:07shame she
39:07can't come
39:08back.
39:09Years later
39:10they say
39:11there's a
39:11beggar woman
39:12in the bad
39:12part of town.
39:14She was
39:14forced out
39:15every night
39:15to beg.
39:16Beaten
39:17bloody
39:17every night
39:18by a
39:18vicious
39:19little thug
39:20some street
39:20rat had
39:21raised.
39:22They say
39:22she looks
39:23just like
39:23the mistress
39:24the Don
39:24used to
39:25be obsessed
39:25with.
39:28But none
39:29of that
39:29has anything
39:30to do
39:30with me.
39:31I went
39:31with Dr.
39:32Bellini
39:32to a small
39:33clinic far
39:34from the
39:34city.
39:35I learned
39:35to mend
39:36wounds.
39:37I learned
39:37to keep
39:38people alive.
39:39Back when
39:40Lorenzo was
39:41raging at me
39:42about the
39:42fire,
39:43I'd sent
39:43Lucia out
39:44to find
39:44Dr.
39:45Bellini
39:45and bring
39:46back every
39:46piece of
39:47evidence I
39:48needed.
39:49He'd admired
39:50what I'd done
39:51all those years
39:51ago.
39:52The woman
39:52who'd given
39:53her body
39:53to save
39:54the man
39:54she loved.
39:55Now,
39:56broken by
39:57the same
39:57man.
39:58He left
39:59a body
39:59in my
40:00place.
40:01A burned
40:02body.
40:02He pulled
40:03me out
40:04and put
40:05me back
40:05together.
40:06I'll never
40:07be able
40:08to have
40:08a child
40:08of my
40:09own.
40:09I don't
40:10grieve it.
40:11By now,
40:12I've taken
40:12in dozens
40:13of children,
40:14all of them
40:14orphans I've
40:15patched up
40:16over the
40:16years.
40:17I raise
40:17them as
40:18my own.
40:19This
40:19afternoon,
40:20Lucia,
40:21married now,
40:22climbed the
40:23hill to
40:23bring me
40:24tea from
40:24her own
40:25garden.
40:25She told
40:26me what
40:27she'd heard
40:27in town.
40:29those two
40:30scumbags,
40:31they're still
40:32at it.
40:32Ten years
40:33now,
40:34every single
40:35morning,
40:36on their
40:37knees at
40:37the chapel
40:38where you're
40:38buried,
40:40praying to
40:41a god they
40:42don't even
40:42believe in,
40:43begging him
40:44to bring
40:44you back.
40:48I laughed.
40:49Praying.
40:50Funny.
40:51Neither of
40:51them ever set
40:52foot in a
40:52church before
40:53this.
40:53They've offered
40:53the church
40:54everything.
40:54Their houses,
40:55their money,
40:56their names.
40:58anything if
40:59you come
40:59back.
41:00I sneered.
41:01What about
41:01Gabriella?
41:02They didn't
41:03offer her
41:03up first?
41:05That was
41:05their first
41:06prayer,
41:06actually.
41:07But Gabriella
41:08got burned
41:09alive by
41:09her own
41:09son,
41:10so now
41:11offering
41:11themselves.
41:12I stood
41:13up,
41:13looked down
41:14at the
41:14chapel at
41:15the base
41:15of the
41:15hill.
41:19Their
41:20lives,
41:21I said
41:21quietly.
41:22What are
41:23those worth?
41:25They
41:25wouldn't make
41:26it more
41:26than a few
41:27years anyway.
41:28Lucia
41:28laughed.
41:30All this
41:30time I
41:31thought you
41:31just wanted
41:31them to
41:31live with
41:32the guilt
41:32forever.
41:34Turns out
41:34you put
41:35poison in
41:35the parcel.
41:37No wonder
41:38you told
41:38me to
41:38make sure
41:39I gave
41:39it to
41:39Marco
41:40in front
41:40of the
41:40dawn.
41:41The guilt
41:42of the
41:42people
41:43who killed
41:43me.
41:45What's
41:45that worth
41:46on its
41:46own?
41:48I wanted
41:48them to
41:49suffer in
41:49their bodies
41:50every day
41:50they have
41:51left.
41:51The sun
41:52outside was
41:52good and
41:53warm.
41:54Time to
41:54go give
41:55the new
41:55kids their
41:55lesson.
41:56from here
41:57the rest
41:58is mine.
42:01Ten years
42:02of peace.
42:04My little
42:04clinic on the
42:05hill was my
42:06sanctuary.
42:06I was
42:07bandaging a
42:08seven-year-old
42:08orphan's knee
42:09when the
42:09sirens wailed.
42:10Gunfire echoed
42:12from the bottom
42:12of the valley.
42:13The vipers.
42:14With Lorenzo
42:16and Marco
42:16spending their
42:17days coughing
42:18up blood
42:18at a fake
42:19grave.
42:19Their enemies
42:20had grown
42:20bold.
42:21They swept
42:21through the
42:22borders,
42:22burning
42:23everything.
42:23Now they
42:24were at
42:25my door.
42:26The heavy
42:26wooden gates
42:27of the
42:27clinic
42:28shattered.
42:29Six men
42:30in leather
42:30jackets
42:31stormed
42:31in with
42:32rifles
42:32raised.
42:33The
42:33children
42:33screamed
42:34and hid
42:35under
42:35the
42:35tables.
42:36Search
42:37the place!
42:38Take
42:39the drugs.
42:40Kill
42:41the kids
42:41if they
42:41cry.
42:42He
42:43turned
42:43his
42:43sneer
42:43to
42:44me.
42:45Well

42:46pretty

42:46country
42:47nurse.
42:48You're
42:48coming
42:48with us
42:49sweetheart.
42:50He
42:50reached
42:51out
42:51a
42:51filthy
42:51hand
42:52to
42:52grab
42:52my
42:52hair.
42:53I
42:53didn't
42:53scream.
42:54I
42:54didn't
42:54beg.
42:54I
42:55set
42:55the
42:55bandages
42:55down
42:56gently.
42:56I
42:56stepped
42:57out
42:57of
42:57the
42:57sunlight
42:58and
42:58into
42:58the
42:58shadows.
42:59When
42:59I
42:59turned
42:59back
42:59around
43:00there
43:00was
43:00no
43:00fear
43:01in
43:01my
43:01eyes.
43:02Only

43:04scalpel
43:04resting

43:06I
43:06whispered
43:07Don't
43:08touch
43:08my
43:08children.
43:09The
43:09lieutenant
43:09laughed.
43:12Or
43:12what?
43:15He
43:16never
43:16got
43:19could
43:20track.
43:20scalpel
43:21sliced
43:21clean
43:21across
43:22his
43:22throat.
43:23Blood
43:23sprayed
43:24across
43:24the
43:24white
43:24walls.
43:25He
43:25collapsed,
43:26choking
43:27on
43:27his
43:27own
43:27blood.
43:28I
43:28grabbed
43:28his

43:29handgun.
43:29I
43:30didn't
43:30even
43:30blink.
43:31Three
43:31rapid
43:32shots.
43:33Three
43:33more
43:33bodies
43:34hit
43:34the
43:34floor.
43:35Muscle
43:35memory

43:36a
43:36terrifying
43:36thing.
43:37Ten
43:37years
43:38away
43:38from
43:38the
43:39mafia,
43:39but
43:39the
43:40Castellano
43:40blood
43:41still ran
43:41cold in
43:42my

43:43The
43:43last
43:43two
43:44men
43:44backed
43:44away,
43:50this
43:50was

43:50slaughter.
43:51One
43:51of
43:52them
43:52stared
43:52at
43:52my
43:52face.
43:53The
43:53blood

43:54on

43:59You

44:00years
44:01ago.
44:01He
44:02screamed,
44:02dropping
44:03his
44:03weapon
44:03and
44:04scrambling
44:04for
44:04the

44:07a
44:07crying
44:07child
44:08tugged
44:08at
44:09my
44:09skirt.
44:09I
44:09lowered
44:10the
44:10weapon.
44:11Let
44:11him
44:11run.
44:12Let
44:12him

44:13the
44:13ghost
44:14of
44:14the
44:14Ferraro
44:15family
44:15was
44:15still
44:16breathing.
44:16My
44:17peaceful
44:17life
44:17was
44:18over.
44:21Lorenzo
44:22and
44:22Marco
44:23were
44:23kneeling
44:23before
44:24a
44:24cold
44:24stone
44:24urn.
44:25They
44:26were
44:26coughing
44:26up
44:27black
44:27blood.
44:28The
44:28poison
44:28I
44:29left
44:29them
44:29was
44:29eating
44:30their
44:30organs
44:30inch
44:31by
44:31inch.
44:32Suddenly
44:32the
44:32chapel
44:33doors
44:33burst
44:34open.
44:35Guards

44:38the
44:38survivor
44:39from
44:39the
44:39viper
44:39attack.
44:41Boss,

44:44a
44:44clinic

44:44the
44:45border.
44:47Kill
44:47him.
44:48I
44:49don't
44:49care
44:49about
44:49territory.
44:52No!
44:54Boss,

45:00She's
45:00alive!
45:01Aurora
45:01Castigliani
45:02is alive!
45:05Lorenzo's
45:06voice was
45:06a ragged
45:07whisper.
45:09What did
45:09you say?
45:12It
45:12was her!
45:13the
45:13face,
45:14the
45:14eyes,
45:15she's
45:15not

45:16She's
45:16not

45:17Fifty
45:18black
45:18armored
45:19SUVs
45:19tore
45:20through
45:20the
45:20pouring
45:21rain.
45:21The
45:22doors
45:22swung
45:23open.
45:24Lorenzo
45:25and Marco
45:25staggered out
45:26into the
45:26mud.
45:27They
45:28looked up
45:28and stopped
45:29breathing
45:30entirely.
45:31I
45:32was
45:32standing
45:33on the
45:33porch,
45:34alive.
45:39They
45:40fell to
45:40their
45:41knees
45:41in
45:41the
45:41mud,
45:42two
45:43powerful
45:43mafia
45:44bosses
45:44weeping
45:45like
45:45children.
45:49Roya,
45:50Roya,
45:51you're
45:52alive.
45:53God,
45:54you're
45:54alive.
45:54I'm
45:55not
45:55dreaming.
45:55He
45:56reached
45:56out a
45:56trembling
45:57hand,
45:58desperate
45:58to touch
45:59my shoe.
46:00My
46:00Aurora,
46:01you
46:01didn't
46:02leave
46:02me.
46:03You're
46:03still
46:03here.
46:05Who
46:06told
46:06you
46:06to
46:06come
46:06here?
46:08They
46:09looked
46:09at me
46:09with
46:09worship,
46:10with
46:11a
46:11pathetic,
46:12all-consuming
46:13obsession.
46:14I
46:14looked down
46:15at them
46:15like
46:15they
46:15were
46:15trash.
46:16Rora,
46:16please.
46:17I
46:17didn't
46:18feel a
46:18shred
46:19of
46:19pity.
46:20We're
46:20dying
46:20of
46:21your
46:21poison
46:21and
46:22we
46:22deserve
46:22it,
46:23but
46:23the
46:23vipers
46:24are
46:24sending
46:24an
46:24army
46:25tonight.
46:25We
46:26came
46:26to
46:26protect
46:27you.
46:30I'll
46:31die
46:31for
46:31you
46:31this
46:32time.
46:32I
46:33swear
46:33it.
46:35don't
46:36dirty
46:36my
46:36floor.
46:37Before
46:38he
46:38could
46:38cry
46:38again,
46:39a
46:39massive
46:40explosion
46:41rocked
46:41the
46:41valley.
46:44Dozens
46:45of
46:45viper
46:46trucks
46:46surrounded
46:46him.
46:47The
46:48real
46:48raid
46:48had
46:49begun.
46:51I
46:51won't
46:52let
46:52them
46:52touch
46:52you!
46:56Lorenzo
46:56and Marco
46:57charged
46:57into
46:58gunfire.
46:59They
46:59fought
46:59like
47:00rabid
47:00dogs.
47:01They
47:01had no
47:02armor.
47:02they
47:03barely
47:03had
47:04any
47:04strength
47:04left.
47:06But I
47:06just
47:07stood
47:07on the
47:07porch
47:08watching
47:08them
47:09coldly.
47:13Finally,
47:14Marco's
47:14poisoned
47:15leg
47:15gave
47:15out.
47:16He
47:16crashed
47:17into
47:17into
47:17dirt.
47:20Stop
47:21shooting!
47:27Rora!
47:28Run!
47:30Surrender,
47:31bitch!
47:32Or I
47:32blow your
47:33brother's
47:33brains off
47:34right now!
47:35Marco closed
47:36his eyes,
47:37smiling through
47:38the blood.
47:39He thought
47:39his death
47:40would make
47:40me grieve
47:41him.
47:41I slowly
47:42stepped out
47:42of the
47:43shadows.
47:44I
47:44raised my
47:45own gun.
47:46I aimed
47:46it directly
47:47at Marco's
47:48chest.
47:49Go ahead.
47:51I'll even
47:51help you.
47:55The
47:56Viper
47:56commander
47:56froze.
47:58Marco's
47:58bloody
47:59smile
47:59vanished.
48:00Rora,
48:01what are
48:02you doing?
48:03Marco
48:03whispered.
48:04My hand
48:05didn't shake.
48:06I didn't
48:07hesitate.
48:07I pulled
48:08the trigger.
48:09The gunshot
48:10rang out
48:10in the valley.
48:12The bullet
48:12tore straight
48:13through Marco's
48:14shoulder.
48:14It exited
48:15his flesh
48:16and buried
48:16itself deep
48:17into the
48:18commander's
48:18thigh.
48:19Both men
48:19screamed and
48:20collapsed into
48:21the mud.
48:22The Vipers
48:22lowered their
48:23guns,
48:23completely
48:24stunned.
48:24They thought
48:25they were
48:25holding a
48:26hostage.
48:26They didn't
48:27realize they
48:27were threatening
48:28a woman who
48:29had no heart
48:29left to break.
48:30I stepped
48:31off the porch.
48:32My heels
48:33clicked against
48:33the blood-soaked
48:34dirt.
48:35I walked
48:35right past
48:36Marco.
48:36He was
48:37clutching his
48:38bleeding shoulder,
48:38staring at me
48:39in pure
48:40horror.
48:41I didn't
48:42even look
48:42at him.
48:42I stood
48:43over the
48:44writhing
48:44commander.
48:45I snatched
48:45the heavy
48:46revolver
48:47from his
48:47limp hand.
48:48I pressed
48:48the hot
48:49barrel directly
48:50against his
48:51throat.
48:51You came
48:52to my
48:52territory.
48:53You threatened
48:53my children.
48:54Did you
48:54really think
48:55I'd let
48:55you walk
48:55away?
48:56I cocked
48:56the hammer.
48:57Tell your
48:58men to drop
48:58their weapons
48:59or you
49:00die.
49:02The commander
49:03swallowed
49:04hard.
49:06Drop
49:07the gun!
49:08The remaining
49:08vipers threw
49:09their weapons
49:10into the mud.
49:11The Castellano
49:12and Ferrado men
49:12were standing
49:13there,
49:13completely
49:14paralyzed.
49:16What are you
49:17waiting for?
49:18You answer
49:19to me now.
49:19Kill them
49:20all!
49:20The men
49:20flinched at the
49:21ice in my voice,
49:23but the authority
49:23in my tone
49:24was undeniable.
49:26Without waiting
49:27for Marco or
49:27Lorenzo's orders,
49:28the men opened
49:29fire.
49:30The vipers were
49:31wiped out in
49:32seconds.
49:32Silence fell
49:33over the valley,
49:34broken only by the
49:35rain.
49:36I turned
49:36around to
49:37head back
49:37inside.
49:39Lorenzo
49:39was crawling
49:40across the
49:41wet earth.
49:41He was
49:42bleeding heavily
49:43from his ribs,
49:44his breath
49:44rattling.
49:45He reached
49:46out with a
49:46trap of
49:47the blood
49:47standing
49:47hand.
49:49Rora,
49:50I protected
49:50you,
49:50I took
49:51the bullets.
49:52Please,
49:52just look
49:53at me.
49:54I stopped
49:54walking.
49:55I looked
49:56down at
49:56the hand
49:57resting
49:57on my
49:58skirt.
49:59Then,
49:59I lifted
50:00my heel.
50:01I drove it
50:02down hard
50:03onto his
50:03fingers.
50:04Bones
50:05cracked
50:05under my
50:06shoe.
