FunTranscript
00:01Five years with Justin, and I was finally walking down the aisle.
00:05Even after my family went bankrupt a year ago, he never left my side.
00:09I'll make you the happiest woman in the world.
00:11What I didn't know was that he was scheming with my stepmother to get his hands on my trust fund.
00:20Don't forget Annie's still waiting.
00:21Of course not. The moment that money's mine, I'm divorcing her.
00:24She's nothing compared to Annie.
00:28They were even planning for him to marry my sister.
00:33Shh. Quiet.
00:35Crying your pretty eyes out on a day like this? Such a waste.
00:39Who are you?
00:40The stranger's blood smeared all over me.
00:43I was frozen stiff with terror.
00:45But she just lowered her head and wiped the tears off my face.
00:49Do me a favor, little bride.
00:54Fuck. Just a couple of bitches getting it on.
00:57Let go! I'm getting married!
00:59Engaged. How loyal.
01:02Footsteps and kerns stormed past the window.
01:05The footsteps faded, but she still didn't let go.
01:10I shoved her away.
01:12Blood was seeping through the hand she had pressed to her stomach.
01:16The side of my wedding cruise, where she'd touched me, was now smeared red.
01:21Lyra?
01:23Are you in there?
01:24The knocking wouldn't stop.
01:27Why not let your fiancé in?
01:29The ceremony was in less than ten minutes.
01:32I clenched my fists and shoved her into the corner.
01:34Stay here.
01:36And I'll pretend I never saw you.
01:38What the hell are you doing in this dump?
01:40Justin's face twisted, his voice sharp.
01:43Thank God.
01:44He didn't seem interested in coming aside to check.
01:47Before I left, I glanced back at that corner.
01:51It was empty.
01:52A wedding just as beautiful as I'd imagined, but I couldn't force a smile.
01:55The priest was fiffiating.
01:57Justin watched me, waiting for my final vow.
02:00Lyra? You're bleeding.
02:01My mind was somewhere else.
02:03I lowered my head and stepped back.
02:06And the bloodstain on my waist caught Justin's eye.
02:12I'm sorry, Justin.
02:14I don't think today is the right day for a wedding.
02:16Lyra! What the hell is wrong with you?
02:18The guests erupted.
02:19My stepmother and father looked murderous.
02:21My stepmother shot me a death glare.
02:23And Annie's eyes darted straight Justin.
02:26Without my money, Justin would never marry her either.
02:30Justin sensed something was off.
02:32But before he could say a word, the chapel doors swung open.
02:35My fiancé went bone white.
02:38I could barely believe my ears.
02:40The woman who had pinned me down and kissed me in that storeroom was Justin's godmother.
02:49Justin, you forgot to tell me about your wedding today.
02:52Godmother?
02:53The woman who'd pinned me down and kissed me was Justin's godmother, Amanda Gallo.
03:00The queen of half the underwedding.
03:05Godmother, today is my wedding.
03:07A gunshot cut him off.
03:12Amanda kept the gun in hand, not even glancing at Justin, who was now rivaling on the floor,
03:18clutching his leg and screaming.
03:20Your godmother was being hunted, and you were here preparing to walk down the aisle.
03:26Or did you really believe those useless bastards you teamed up with could actually take me out?
03:31Before I lose my temper, you'd better think of a way to compensate me for that piece of land you
03:36sold off.
03:41He even tried to have his own godmoth killed.
03:44What would he do to me?
03:46Lyra, I can give her to you.
03:49She's got a ten million dollar trust fund.
03:51She's valuable.
03:53I almost collapsed.
03:55I staggered back toward Justin.
03:57Hearing him say it himself was a thousand times more disgusting than when I'd eavedropped.
04:01You just sold me.
04:07Five years together, and you felt nothing from me, did you?
04:11Justin couldn't meet my eyes.
04:14Those five years of love meant absolutely nothing to him.
04:19Look at me, Justin!
04:20Did you ever love me at all?
04:24I screamed my heart out.
04:26All I got back was his silence.
04:29Amanda held the gun, but her gaze was no longer on Justin.
04:33It was on me.
04:34The moment she moved, fresh blood dripped from her wound onto the floor.
04:39So you and your dear father-in-law have fallen so low you're paying off debt-its with people now?
04:44Justin was begging, and then even my father stepped forward.
04:48I truly believe my father would take me away.
04:52Another cruel hope.
04:55Take Lyra.
04:56She's a good girl.
04:58She'll do what you say.
05:03My stepmother had dragged my sister into hiding.
05:05Nobody gave a damn if I lived or died.
05:09Amanda quirked her finger at me.
05:11I shook my head, face drained of color.
05:13So she simply walked over.
05:15She was freakily strong for a woman.
05:17She just scooped me up in front of everyone and carried me away.
05:20My struggling was useless against her.
05:22Let go!
05:23I'm not some item he can just trade!
05:28I don't care what you think, Lyra.
05:30Right now, you belong to me.
05:32That only made Amanda laugh.
05:34And then she kissed me again.
05:36All the doors were locked.
05:38There was no running.
05:39Amanda's weight pinned me down.
05:41I could barely breathe.
05:42I fought back hard, my elbow jamming straight into her bleeding wound.
05:47She didn't even flinch.
05:49The blood just poured faster.
05:54Get off!
05:55Are you insane?
05:56You're bleeding out!
05:57You worried about me?
05:59My wedding dress was soaked red, but Amanda didn't seem to care at all.
06:03What an utterly insane woman.
06:05The bleeding just wouldn't stop.
06:08I couldn't stand it anymore.
06:10I tore a strip from my skirt and banded her up.
06:14Keep this up and I'll start believing you came with me on your own.
06:17Stop moving.
06:18You'll bleed even more.
06:22We were so close, I could hear her heartbeat.
06:25Her touch.
06:26A shiver down my spine.
06:28I yanked it back like I'd been burned.
06:31Amanda laughed.
06:32A sound that made my face burn.
06:36From the moment we got out of the car, Amanda didn't let me leave her side for a single second.
06:42She was acting like I really was just some new toy she'd acquired.
06:46Change.
06:47Then come to the bathroom.
06:50And what if I don't?
06:53You really don't want to find out.
06:58She leaned in again, her breath hot, hot against my neck.
07:03That brand new red silk night lay right beside me, within easy reach.
07:09The bathroom door was wide open.
07:12Amanda knew I wouldn't say no.
07:15She was leaning back in the tub, the warm water turning pink from her blood.
07:21You're way smarter than my idiot godson, Lyra.
07:25What do you actually want from me?
07:29Come bandage.
07:30Amanda sat up straighter, giving me a clearer view of her wound.
07:34Half out of spite, I wasn't exactly gentle.
07:39Amanda didn't make a sound.
07:43I took one look at that mess, turned my face away, and stopped pressing on purpose.
07:48The second I put the bandage down, she grabbed my wrist again.
07:53Lyra, is this pity?
07:56Or do you actually care?
07:58Her stare was too much.
08:00I tried to leave, but I'd forgotten she still had a death grip on my wrist.
08:05Amanda and I both crashed into the tub.
08:10I swallowed a mouthful of bloody water.
08:14Amanda grabbed me by the waist and hauled me up.
08:19You are fucking crazy, aren't you?
08:22My protest was swallowed by another kiss.
08:24She kissed me until I couldn't think straight.
08:27She looked at me, her hand nearing the small of my back.
08:37What do you want from me?
08:39You.
08:40The water suddenly felt scalding hot, so hot I wanted to bolt.
08:45In Amanda's eyes, I saw my own reflection.
08:49Kiss me, little bride.
08:57I pulled back from her kiss, but she still had my wrist in a death grip.
09:00The water was getting cold.
09:01She watched me like she was waiting for an answer.
09:03I couldn't smell the blood on her anymore.
09:05Just the scent of bath soap.
09:07My silence only made her more aggressive.
09:09Why are you pushing me away?
09:10She wasn't angry.
09:11I couldn't look at her.
09:12She pulled me back into the water.
09:14I braced myself to choke on the water again.
09:16But the suffocation never came.
09:18Amanda held me up.
09:19No trace of a smile on her face.
09:21Still hung up on Justin.
09:22I turned my head, ready to refuse her the same way I had before.
09:26Amanda didn't give me the chance.
09:27What are you doing?
09:29The shower head blasted water right into my face.
09:34It's freezing.
09:35The ice-cold water had me shaking uncontrollably.
09:39Instinctly, I pressed closer to Amanda.
09:42The hand rubbing my back was gentle.
09:45I was trembling so hard I was practically a blast against her.
09:49Amanda didn't respond.
09:51So cold.
09:52Please, can we get out of here?
09:54Looks like you don't.
09:55She did this on purpose.
09:56She wasn't taking me out until she got her answer.
09:59Shivering, I wrapped my arms around her.
10:01Kissing her first didn't feel bad at all.
10:03Amanda even tilted her head down to make it easier.
10:06Amanda.
10:09Amanda.
10:10The water turned warm, not cold anymore, just perfect.
10:15I kept saying her name, my mind going blank under to the warm spray.
10:19She tore my night down open.
10:22The second her fingers touched me, I screamed.
10:26The pleasure was so intense, I could hardly stay upright.
10:29Amanda was the only thing keeping me upright.
10:32In a dizzy blur, I found myself back in that steaming bathtub.
10:36The shock of being dropped into the hot water snapped me back to reality.
10:41Amanda's braced above me.
10:42She kept touching me, her fingertip rough with callus from years of holding a gun.
10:46In that cramped tub, there was nowhere to escape.
10:49I was forced to press up against her heated skin.
10:52Amanda.
10:53Stop.
10:54I'm not.
10:55Not what?
10:56Not mine?
10:57She didn't give me a chance to argue.
10:58Her mouth crashed down on mine, biting and devouring every protest.
11:01It was a brutal, breath-staling kiss.
11:04I gripped the edge of the tub so hard my knuckles turned white.
11:09Look at me, Lyra.
11:11Look at Lyra.
11:18I opened my eyes, and she was all I could see.
11:21One hand slid down hard along my waist, the other fist in my hair at the naif of my neck.
11:28I tried to clamp my legs shut, but she shattered my defenses with absurd ease, leaving me completely exposed to
11:36her.
11:37Don't touch me there.
11:39Your wound, you're still bleeding.
11:41Or you could stop the pain other way, little bride.
11:44As her thrusts deepened, the water in the tub turned violently.
11:47I couldn't lie to my own body anymore.
11:49My trembling hands reached up and latched onto her shoulders.
11:52My fingertip brushed the bandage wrapped around her stomach.
11:54Blood had already soaked through, but I couldn't bring myself to care.
11:58The pleasure was drowning me like a tidal wave.
12:01Amanda, please give it to me.
12:04That was the first time I surrendered to her tonight.
12:07I clawed at her back, nails leaving angry red trails across her skin.
12:12Amid the splashing water and tangled gasps, I drowned the stupid girl who once loved Justin right there in that
12:18night.
12:19I woke up in bed, the sunlight so bright I couldn't open my eyes.
12:23The other side of the bed was cold.
12:25The pillow still carried her snelt.
12:28Soap and blood mixed together.
12:30I took a deep breath and picked up her black robe from the floor.
12:34Walking down the spiral staircase, my heart was pounding.
12:38I had no idea how to face her.
12:40Amanda was sitting a sofa in the hall,
12:43holding a cup black coffee.
12:45The fresh white bandage around her stomach was blindingly obvious.
12:58Sleep well, little bride?
13:00Why do you always call me that?
13:02My legs felt like cement on those steps.
13:08She didn't answer.
13:10In a few strides, she was at the foot of the stairs, trapping me on the steps.
13:15Her rough thumb brushed over the marks on my neck, and my whole body shivered.
13:20I have nothing left.
13:22What else could you possibly want from me?
13:28To her, my resistance was apparently just foreplay.
13:32She wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me flush against her.
13:36I told myself to push her a-wide, but that suffocating sense of surrender last night
13:41left me with no strength to even lift my arms.
13:44Outside, tires screeched to a sudden halt.
13:47Godmother, it's Justin! Are you in there?
13:49Followed by frantic footsteps and violent pounding on the door.
13:52It was Justin, the fiancé who swore he loved me and then sold me out without a second thought.
13:57I instinctively stepped back, looking for somewhere to hide.
14:00She felt me retreating and crushed me tight against her chest.
14:03What are you hiding from?
14:06Let my dear godson in.
14:11Justin stood in the doorway, drenched in sweat, his stare slamming right into us.
14:21I was wearing Amanda's robe, trapped in her arms.
14:25My neck covered in obvious, damning marks.
14:29Godmother, thank God you're okay.
14:31Hey, those bastards who went after you yesterday, I already had them taken care of.
14:34But it was quickly buried under layers of greasy flattery and greed.
14:39Amanda raised in high bow, looking dangerous amused.
14:42She didn't say a word.
14:43More cold sweat beaded on Justin's forehead.
14:52Look, she's yours now.
14:54That ten million trust fund, you and me, we can grab it in no time.
14:57He couldn't wait to point at me.
14:59Once we have it, we can split it fifty-fifty.
15:01As long as you can forgive my negligence, godmother, that entire sum is yours to distribute as you see fit.
15:07I was biting my lip so hard I could taste blood.
15:10Even though I'd already overheard his scheme, watching the man I've loved for five years still made my stomach wrench
15:16with nausea.
15:17I took a deep breath and forced self to go ice cold.
15:20Step by step, I walked down the stairs until I was right in front of him.
15:24I put every ounce of strength I had into it.
15:27A red hand mark bloomed across his face.
15:30Split it?
15:31A man who sells out his own fiancéed back.
15:34Completely fiancé for profit?
15:36Without that money, you and your precious Annie are nothing in but sue rats.
15:41My mockery shredded what was left of his pride.
15:44You bitch! How dare you slap me!
15:46Justin's face into to something truly ugly, his eyes blood-wot with humated rage.
15:50He raised his right hand high, ready to bring it crashing down across my face.
15:54I didn't move an inch.
15:56Why would I?
15:57I knew whose territory we were on.
15:59Justin.
16:00The raging man turned to stone.
16:03She squeezed his wrist, and the sound of bones grinding echoed through the hall.
16:09Fifty-fifty?
16:11Why the hell would I split anything with you?
16:14Godmother, I didn't mean it!
16:17The ten million is all yours!
16:19I don't want a penny!
16:21I watched Justin collapse to the floor.
16:24Nothing but pure terror in his eyes.
16:27Amanda let out a cold laugh and completely ignored him.
16:31She yanked me back into her arms, her fingers pressing into my waist through the thin robe.
16:35Get the hell out of my sight!
16:39Justin scrambled out of the estate like a beaten dog.
16:42The door slammed shut.
16:44It was just her and me.
16:46I went weak all over.
16:47My legs gave out, but Amanda scooped me up.
16:51Put me down.
16:56I was tossed onto the mattress, and she climbed right on top of me.
17:00The sunlight lit up the red bite marks I'd left on her neck last night.
17:06Use my name to slap him three times.
17:10Fast learner.
17:11Justin.
17:12Your stepmother.
17:13Your sister Annie.
17:15Do you really think three slaps are enough?
17:18Behave, and I'll strip him of everything.
17:20Money, status, dignity, and hand it to you on a silver platter.
17:23He deserved every one.
17:25And you pocketed ten million, didn't you?
17:28She'd seen right through me.
17:30My face went hot.
17:33I thought she was going to kiss me, just like last night.
17:36But this time, she held back.
17:39She pulled her weight off me, just brushing her thumb back, back, and forth against my earlobe.
17:44Look at me, Lyra.
17:48Don't chew, body went binge.
17:51I opened my eyes and met hers.
17:54Justin.
17:55Your stepmother.
17:56Your sister Annie.
17:57Do you really think three slaps are enough?
18:01Behave, and I'll strip them of everything.
18:02Money, status, dignity, and hand it to you on a silver platter.
18:06I'll do it.
18:07This wasn't a fair deal.
18:08But once the thought of revenge took root, it burned my sanity to ashes.
18:13My palm grew slip with her blood.
18:15I knew there was no reason to say no.
18:17I closed my eyes and laced my hands around the back of her neck.
18:21The second I agreed to stay, I prepared to be used.
18:24But surprisingly, she started dragging me into her study every day.
18:28It was packed with dizzying ledgers and corporate equity agreements.
18:34Take a look at this.
19:04I stared at the dense legal clause, completely lost.
19:05I stared at the front of her chest.
19:07Smart girl.
19:13Her fingers trailed from my hand all the way up to my jaw.
19:17She tilted my head up with a hint of force, making me look at her.
19:21If you want real power, you have to get your hands dirty.
19:27Got it?
19:29On some insane impulse, I didn't push her away.
19:32I leaned into it and pressed a kiss to the corner of her mouth.
19:41I'll learn faster than anyone else.
19:43The satisfaction in Amanda's eyes deepened.
19:46She was just about to lean down and deepen the kiss when a knock came at the door.
19:54It was from my stepmother.
19:56Annie and Justin's wedding invitation.
19:58I stared at their names printed side by side and let out a cold laugh.
20:04I'm going.
20:05Amanda reached out to straighten my collar.
20:07I stepped back, dodging her touch.
20:09If I always hid behind her, I'd never be more than a toy she could crush.
20:14I'll use what you taught me.
20:15Handle it myself.
20:17We locked eyes.
20:18I dug my nails into my palms, forcing myself not to look away.
20:23Then I'll wait right here for you to come back.
20:26Only when she smiled and let her hands drop did I finally exhale.
20:30I followed the address on the invitation and showed up right on time at the hotel ballroom.
20:34I pushed open the heavy doors.
20:36It was terrifyingly empty.
20:37No guests.
20:38No flowers.
20:39Just dead silence in the echo of my own heels.
20:41Only when I reached the center of the hall did I spot my so-called family up on the dales.
20:46Dustin with his banded thigh, Annie dripping in tacky glamour,
20:48my stone-faced stepmother, and my father radiating pure calculation.
20:51They still weren't done with my trust fund.
20:53Blame me, Liera.
20:53That money was never yours to begin with.
20:55Who are you?
20:56Annie's father or mine?
20:57My father wasn't used to me talking back.
20:59He smashed his wine glass.
21:01Side doors burst open.
21:02Dozens of bodyguards blocked my only way out.
21:05I thought I'd prepared for everything.
21:06I overestimated my own composure.
21:08I froze on the steps, watching those hands reach for me, and I forgot how to even fight back.
21:12My phone started screaming inside my purse.
21:15It was Amanda.
21:17Answer it!
21:18Tell that bitch to stay out of this!
21:19That ringtone was a siren.
21:21The bodyguards all froze and turned to my father.
21:24My hands shook as I answered.
21:26Justin launched and knocked the phone out my hand.
21:31Justin's face was right there in front of me, twisted with pure malice and excitement.
21:36Who are you counting on, huh?
21:37That crazy bitch?
21:39You really think she gives a damn whether you live or die?
21:41He yanked my hair hard.
21:43The ripping pain and in my scalp, my vision go black.
21:45You disgust me, Justin.
21:47A slap cracked across my face.
21:48I hit the cold floor, my mouth filling with blood.
21:51You're still so naive, Lila.
21:52Without Amanda's protection, what the hell?
21:54Only my father's footsteps closing in.
21:55Naive?
21:56No.
21:56It was exactly that naivery that dragged the mud.
21:58You really think you've won?
21:59I wiped the blood mouth from my hand.
22:00The words barely left my mouth when the main doors blew off their hinges in a shower of wood splinters.
22:04Through the dust and smoke, Amanda stepped in.
22:06So this is your idea of handling it yourself?
22:08How adorably clumsy.
22:10She didn't look at anyone else.
22:11She just walked straight to me.
22:13Break his hands.
22:14She shot a sideways glance at Justin, who was already trying to crawl away.
22:18A gunshot.
22:19Justin collapsed, screaming.
22:21Remember this.
22:22Only the ruthless get to be players.
22:24Lyra, how much longer are you gonna let them walk all over you?
22:26The fear inside me was fading.
22:28What replaced it was a hunger I'd never felt before.
22:31I reached out and grabbed Amanda's gun.
22:33And together, we aimed at the man who had broken us both.
22:36The gun burned in my harm.
22:38My fingers wouldn't stop shaking.
22:40Don't shake.
22:42Aim.
22:43Squeeze.
22:45Amanda's hand covered mine, steadying my aim,
22:48pointing the muzzle straight at Justin, who was slumped on the floor.
22:52My heart was slamming so hard I thought it burst out of my throat.
22:55I thought about all the promises that bastards made me.
22:58How he ended up treating me like collateral.
23:00Whatever last shred of pity I had burned away to nothing.
23:03I took a deep breath and curled my finger tight around the trigger.
23:07Before I could fire, the side doors crashed open.
23:10A flood of armed men in black poured in.
23:13The ballroom erupted in chaos.
23:16My father and Step 1 were dragged off.
23:19In the blink of an eye, it was just me and Amanda.
23:24Amanda was pulling me out, but in the split second, she turned.
23:27A bullet nicked her right shoulder.
23:31Blood threw her shirt in an instant.
23:33By the time we got back to the estate, the night was pitch black.
23:36Staring at Amanda's face, pale as death from blood loss.
23:39My mind's a complete mess.
23:41My hands were shaking as I peeled away the bandage on her shoulder.
23:44The wound was a mangled, gaping mess.
23:47My palms went slick with sweat.
23:51She didn't say a word, just watched me.
23:53And for a moment, I caught an exhaustion in her eyes-eyes I'd never seen before.
24:00Keep it dry, or it'll get infected.
24:03The second I finished tying it off and started to stand,
24:07she grabbed my wrist and yanked me down right against her chest.
24:12Lyra, answer me.
24:16What the hell did you ever see in Justin?
24:18He treated you like disposable trash.
24:21Why did you still look at him like that?
24:22The question caught me completely off guard.
24:25The sheer absurdity of that betrayal just washed over me.
24:28And what about you?
24:29Getting yourself torn to pieces over a discarded paw like me?
24:32What the hell do you call that?
24:34I thought my defiance would make her laugh,
24:36or that she'd just force me down and kiss me like before.
24:39But she didn't.
24:41This woman, who could kill without a second thought,
24:44just gave a bitter, self-packing smile.
24:47I had never seen her so wrecked.
24:50What I call it, hell if I know.
24:54Knowing damn well you're a stray who'll never be tamed.
24:57Knowing you had someone else in your heart before.
25:01All the grievance I'd been choking down for days just burst out of me at those words.
25:06Five whole years I followed Justin,
25:09and in the end, he used me as collateral to pay off debts.
25:11Even the wedding was nothing but a con.
25:14Had someone else?
25:16I hate him.
25:18I want him dead.
25:23He never loved me.
25:25He never fucking loved me.
25:27I thought I had gone Nurm a long time ago.
25:30But crying in front of her now,
25:32I realized it still hurt like hell.
25:35I closed my eyes and waited for her to mock me.
25:40What came instead was an embrace.
25:42I know everything.
25:44Don't cry.
25:46As long as I'm here,
25:47no one will ever use you as a bargaining coma again.
25:50I pressed against her chest,
25:52listening to her heartbeat,
25:54completely off rhythm.
25:55All of a sudden,
25:56I didn't want to run anymore.
25:58Being with this crazy woman who actually cherished me
26:01felt more real than any so-called love my father ever gave me.
26:08Did you take me back for that ten million,
26:10or am I just a new toy to you?
26:13You were too close,
26:15skin against skin,
26:16the heat jolting through me like electricity.
26:20What do you think, my bride?
26:22She leaned in,
26:24her tongue tracing the tears from the corner of my eye.
26:26Every bone in me melted.
26:28My brain was still screaming danger,
26:31but my body wouldn't listen.
26:32It just wanted to melt into her.
26:35Then prove it, Amanda.
26:37The hand around my waist suddenly tightened
26:40and flipped me over plately.
26:46This time, the kiss wasn't half-hearted at all.
26:50Now this bed was full of nothing but gasps and hearts about to burst.
26:59She and I were tangled up,
27:02utterly and completely.
27:04I woke up aching everywhere,
27:05like my bones had been broken and put back crooked.
27:08But Amanda wouldn't let me rest.
27:10She dragged me into the study,
27:12first thing in the morning.
27:14Check the money trail on these projects.
27:17All loopholes Justin left behind when he was handling them.
27:21Her perfume was making the back of my ears burn.
27:23I couldn't focus at all.
27:24You're too close.
27:25I can't see a damn thing.
27:27Then look again.
27:28You want revenge?
27:30Start by untangling these books.
27:33Fine.
27:33Teach me.
27:34I'm going to make him cough up everything he stole from me with interest.
27:39Amanda let out a low laugh,
27:41clearly satisfied with my answer.
27:43She took my hand and taught me,
27:45stroke by stroke,
27:46how to follow the money.
27:48This was the territory of Amanda's worst enemies.
27:50The air reeked of mildew,
27:51his gunshot still unhealed.
27:53Justin could barely breathe through the pain and cold sweat.
27:56Annie cowered in the corner,
27:57too scared to make a sound.
27:58Bitches, I'm Amanda Laya.
28:00You fucking whores.
28:01I'll make you both die screaming.
28:03That piece of land he'd sold off became Justin's last bargaining chip.
28:07To get his revenge,
28:08he crawled on his knees to the rival boss,
28:10his tone dripping with bootlicking desperation.
28:13Just fix me up,
28:14and I'll get every cent of that 10 million fund for you.
28:16And all of Amanda's port operations on the West Docks,
28:18I know every single one.
28:21Amanda's lessons were paying off.
28:23Those ledgers weren't gibberish anymore.
28:26She said she wanted to buy me a present,
28:28a reward for being a good student.
28:32What I got was a ring.
28:38Just one reward for the star student?
28:41Of course not.
28:42She didn't answer.
28:43Just raised her hand and clicked the fab at the car nearby.
28:46The black luxury car I'd been eyeing for so long lit up at her command.
28:50Before the kiss could even landed,
28:52several jeeps tore into the garage.
28:55Their target was clear.
28:56They surrounded Amanda and me in layers.
28:58The bodyguards Amanda had brought were instantly due
29:00by the men in black pouring out of the vehicles.
29:02I grabbed Amanda's hand,
29:03a sick realization donning on me.
29:05Amanda sensed my fear,
29:06and turned back to reassure me.
29:08The explosion drowned out whatever she was about to say.
29:11The blast threw me to the ground.
29:13The pain was so bad I couldn't even scream,
29:16my mind going blank.
29:17I couldn't see Amanda.
29:19The dust was so thick I couldn't breathe.
29:22I clawed my way up and staggered toward where I'd last seen her.
29:25Amanda!
29:27Amanda!
29:28The fear only its peak
29:30when several men in black hauled me up.
29:34As they dragged me into a car,
29:36I saw Amanda,
29:38pinned under the wreckage in the distance.
29:41Right before I blacked out,
29:43one dumb thought hit me.
29:45I should have let her put the ring on me.
29:48I was out cold for a long time.
29:50Ice water shocked me awake.
29:52I was still groggy.
29:53But after spending so much time with Amanda,
29:55some of her steel had rubbed off on me.
29:57Justin leaned on his crutch,
29:58nothing like the snilling coward he'd be in front of Amanda.
30:01Well, well, well.
30:02Long time no see, wifey.
30:04Annie clung to his arm,
30:05wearing the exact same expression.
30:06Their faces made me sick.
30:08Long time no see, asshole.
30:09My words enraged Annie.
30:10She couldn't even wait for Justin to make a move.
30:12She slapped me across the face herself.
30:14Still think you're the Green family heiress?
30:16Give it up.
30:17Mom and dad don't need you anymore.
30:19Their arrogance made me frown.
30:20I couldn't tell when Justin had gotten this stupid,
30:22or if he just assumed I had.
30:24My toes couldn't touch the ground.
30:26It slowly dawned on me that they must have strung me up.
30:28I suddenly burst out laughing.
30:30What, you playing to finish me off right here?
30:32Annie shot me a wary look.
30:34Scared now?
30:35Just sign the papers.
30:36Once Justin gets the money,
30:38I'll take my time cutting you alive.
30:39Annie pressed the blade against my face,
30:41scraping it back and forth.
30:43She was hopelessly stupid.
30:44I couldn't get anything youthful out of her,
30:46so I stopped bothering to talk.
30:47Justin's phone call was picked up fast.
30:50Don't you dare come here!
30:52You hear me?
30:53My outburst only enaged Annie further.
30:56The rope was sliced a third of the way through.
31:00I clenched my teeth and fought back the tears
31:03with everything I had.
31:04Stay right there.
31:06Count to 100.
31:07The moiron below was about to swallow me hold.
31:10Amanda looked at me, shook her head, and smiled.
31:13I still haven't given you the third gift of the day.
31:17Below me, the molten iron turned.
31:20The heat was so intense, I could barely keep my eyes open.
31:23Suspended mid-air, I grit my teeth and counted down in my head.
31:25Look at you, Laia.
31:27That crazy bitch doesn't have a damn if you live or die.
31:29Sign the damn papers, and I might just leave your body in one piece.
31:33Looking at that face I had loved for five years,
31:35all I felt was revulsion.
31:36For that $10 million trust fund,
31:39he'd even prepared a death like this for me.
31:40Who else is coming?
31:42Just shut up and die already!
31:44Annie stood on the catwalk,
31:46her blade slowly sawing through the rope.
31:48You idiots!
31:49You're not getting a single cent today!
31:50One strand of the rope snapped.
31:52I dropped a few inches,
31:52sparks seeing in the soles of my shoes.
31:54My defiance completely unhinged Annie.
31:56She slashed down hard with the blade.
31:5798.
31:5899.
31:58The rope let out a sickening tear and groan.
32:00The second it snapped,
32:01I was yanked into free fall,
32:02straight toward the molten iron.
32:03100.
32:03The factory's iron doors blew apart
32:05in a storm of fire and splinters.
32:07I didn't hit the molten iron.
32:09Gunfire threw the factory, deafening.
32:10The thugs Justin had brought
32:11didn't even have time to draw their weapons
32:12before they were all lying in pools of blood.
32:14Annie, who had been gleaning just seconds ago,
32:16scrambled behind the scrap fern on all feet.
32:19I collapsed onto the freezing metal grate floor,
32:21gasping for air.
32:22Her face was cold as ice.
32:24She didn't even furrow her brow.
32:26She didn't look up at me on the second floor.
32:28She walked straight through the wreckage
32:30and stopped in front of Justin,
32:32who had gone completely limp.
32:34Godmother!
32:35Please, let me explain!
32:36I wasn't trying to kill her.
32:38I just wanted her to sign
32:40the money I would have given it all to you!
32:43Amanda said nothing.
32:44She slowly pulled the gun from her coat.
32:49Justin shook like he was in an earthquake.
32:51Mother, please!
32:53I'm begging you!
32:54Amanda just stared down at him
32:56for a few cold seconds,
32:57nothing but disgust in her eyes.
32:59Let you go?
33:00String him up.
33:01And the bitch behind the furnace,
33:03both of them.
33:03No one cuts them down
33:04till their skin starts peeling.
33:06She didn't look back.
33:07She turned and ran up the iron stairs.
33:09The next second,
33:10she yanked me into her arms.
33:12The stench of blood and gunpowder hit me.
33:15I was shaking,
33:16tears pouring down.
33:17I pounded against her wildly,
33:19unleashing every ounce of terror inside me.
33:21She suddenly grabbed my waist,
33:22lifted me up,
33:22and pinned me hard against the iron railing.
33:24Who the hell told you to gamble with your life?
33:27Counting to a hundred?
33:28Lyra, one second later
33:29and you'd be nothing but ash!
33:31You taught me.
33:32You said...
33:33You said I had to be ruthless.
33:37She was screaming at me,
33:39but her arms were locked around me
33:41so tight I could barely breathe.
33:44She was terrified.
33:46When I came back to my sense,
33:47I was already sinking deep in the master bed.
33:49Amanda had stripped off her blood-soaked trench coat
33:51and was kneel on when blood-stained
33:52bandaged the edge her shoulder.
33:54Lyra, listen to me.
33:55You're mine.
33:56I gave you a chance.
33:58Too late now.
33:59Even in hell, you're stuck with me.
34:00Keep that ring on tight.
34:01I tilted my head up,
34:02no longer dodging,
34:03and met her kiss head on.
34:05At first light,
34:05I'm putting a gun in your hand
34:07and you're going to put a bullet
34:08through Justin's skull yourself.
34:09She looked at me,
34:10the corner of her mouth
34:11curving into a satisfied smile,
34:13and then she kissed me,
34:14hard.
34:18Look at me.
34:19Amanda.
34:19She crushed me so hard
34:20I couldn't breathe.
34:21My lips split open
34:23and my mouth filled with the tafe blood.
34:25It wasn't a kiss.
34:26It was more like an act of pure release.
34:29I wrapped my arms around her neck
34:31and kissed her back just as hard.
34:34The diamond ring on my finger
34:36scraped against her back.
34:41Her hands were rough,
34:43collage from years of holding a gun.
34:45They traced down the curve of my waist
34:48and every brush of her fingertip
34:50sent shivers through me.
34:52Slow down.
34:53I can't take it.
34:55With every move she made,
34:56I couldn't string together
34:58a single coherent sentence.
35:00She didn't listen.
35:01If anything,
35:02she went harder.
35:04I clung to her,
35:05my nails raking red lines
35:06down her back.
35:07My palm suddenly hit
35:09something wet and sticky.
35:10The bandage on her right shoulder
35:12was bleeding through.
35:13Blood!
35:14You're bleeding!
35:15Stop!
35:16Damn it!
35:17What are you running from?
35:19She seized my wrist
35:20and pinned it forcely
35:21against the pillow.
35:22Tell me, Lyra.
35:24Right now,
35:25do you feel anything for me?
35:26Looking into her bloodshot eyes,
35:28I held her gaze,
35:29arched my back into her
35:30and leaned up to kiss her.
35:33Amanda, I'm yours.
35:36I love you.
35:37I love her.
35:39I love Amanda.
35:40I love her so much.
35:42She bit down hard
35:44on my colitone
35:44and the sharp pain
35:46made me suck in a sharp breath.
35:48No more useless words.
35:50What came next
35:50was so intense
35:51I saw stars.
35:53Those past five years
35:54I'd lived like a puppet.
35:55Only now,
35:57beneath Amanda,
35:57did I finally feel
35:58truly alive.
36:00She pushed me
36:01to my limit
36:02again and again
36:03until I'd screened
36:04my voice raw,
36:05until I couldn't
36:06even lift a finger.
36:08Thunder roared outside.
36:09Love you.
36:10In that storm
36:11drenched deep of night,
36:13I heard her confession.
36:14I stood in front
36:15of the vanity,
36:16staring at my reflection.
36:18The bites on my neck
36:19had turned to bruise.
36:21I touched one.
36:23It still stung.
36:24The diamond on my finger
36:26was cold,
36:27but I couldn't
36:28stop staring at it.
36:29Last night,
36:30Amanda said at sunrise
36:31she'd put a gun
36:32in my hand
36:32and make put a bullet
36:33in Justin's head myself.
36:35For five years,
36:36they'd played me
36:37for a blind fool,
36:38priced me out
36:39like livestock
36:40to settle their debts.
36:41If they didn't die,
36:42I'd be trapped
36:43in this nightmare forever.
36:44Miss Lyra,
36:46Justin Annie escaped.
36:47I stared at him,
36:49my heart skipping a beat.
36:50Two people
36:51with freshly crushed limbs
36:52couldn't have flown
36:52the keep on their own.
36:54Where's Amanda?
36:56The boss left
36:57early this morning,
36:58took men
36:58to your father's house.
36:59The south side vela.
37:01The front door
37:02was wide open.
37:03Amanda stepped
37:04through shattered glass
37:05into the living room.
37:07The safe in the corner
37:08had been cracked open,
37:09empty.
37:12Fallback.
37:14In the next breath,
37:16all four bodyguards
37:18behind her
37:18drew their guns
37:19simultaneously.
37:21But the muzzles
37:22weren't pointed outward.
37:24They were all pressed
37:25against Amanda's back.
37:27From the second
37:29floor landing,
37:30Justin rolled
37:31his wheelchair
37:31across the wooden floor.
37:33Right on time.
37:36Right time,
37:37godmother.
37:39He was so weak,
37:40the wheelchair
37:41was practically
37:42holding him upright.
37:43But the eyes
37:44fixed on Amanda
37:45burned with pure madness.
37:50Buying out my mems
37:52cost you a fort.
37:54The West Docks,
37:55plus Lyra's ten million.
37:57More than enough
37:58to make them
37:59switch sides.
38:01Bullets slid
38:01into chambers.
38:03Amanda was
38:03completely trapped.
38:04The number you have
38:05dialed is temporarily
38:06undetable.
38:07The mechanical voice
38:08stabbed at my eardrums.
38:10I hung up,
38:11my phone slippery
38:12with cold sweat.
38:13Fear crushed my chest,
38:15made it hard to breathe.
38:16But I couldn't afford
38:18to stop.
38:18She just put that
38:19diamond on my finger.
38:21She wouldn't let
38:22anything happen now.
38:23You were right,
38:25Amanda.
38:25Only the ruthless
38:26get to be players.
38:28Now it's my turn
38:29to take up the gun
38:30for you.
38:31Amanda had been taken.
38:33Justin sent a text.
38:35Just one photo.
38:36The abandoned
38:36shipping cupners
38:37at the West Docks.
38:38I stared at my phone,
38:40forcing myself
38:40to stay calm.
38:41My hands wouldn't
38:42stop shaking.
38:43I should have known.
38:45Justin would never
38:45let me off that easy.
38:47The boss got taken down
38:48by that son of a bitch.
38:49We need to cover
38:49our own asses.
38:51Yeah, before we all
38:52get wiped out,
38:52let's just cut our losses
38:53and run.
38:55The hall was already
38:56in chaos.
38:58Several of Amanda's
38:59top men were there,
39:00arguing like crazy.
39:02So this was the caliber
39:03of people Amanda
39:04had raised.
39:05The way they looked
39:05at me,
39:06like I was some accessory.
39:08Exactly the way
39:09Justin had treated me
39:09for five years.
39:11I closed my eyes.
39:13All I could see
39:14was Amanda teaching me
39:15the books in her study.
39:17She'd held my hand
39:18and said,
39:18if you want power,
39:19your hands have to get dirty.
39:21Without a second's hesitation,
39:22I put the muzzle
39:23to Leader A's forehead.
39:26What the hell
39:27are you doing?
39:27You don't even know
39:28how to take the safety off.
39:31The hall went dead silent.
39:33Only his screams remained.
39:35I breathed in the
39:36acri gunpowder
39:37and tossed the gun
39:37onto the floor.
39:38My hands,
39:39hidden behind my back,
39:40were still shaking.
39:42But that didn't matter anymore.
39:44There were far more
39:45important things waiting.
39:47So,
39:49do I give the orders now?
39:51Grab your men.
39:52We're heading to the west docks.
39:54No one said a word.
39:55Amanda was right.
39:56You only get what you want
39:58by being ruthless enough
39:59to take it.
40:02I kicked in the iron doors
40:04of the factory,
40:05my men behind me.
40:06The only thing on the floor
40:08was an overtard wheelchair,
40:10Justin's,
40:10and a long blood spreech
40:12beside it.
40:13A busted speaker overhead
40:15suddenly screeched to life.
40:16You actually came,
40:18sister.
40:18Where is Amanda?
40:20Look up, Lyra.
40:21High up on the beams,
40:23Amanda hung by her wrists
40:24from thick iron chains.
40:25She was covered in wounds,
40:27blood dripping off
40:28her trench coat,
40:29and directly beneath her,
40:31the scrap furnace,
40:32turning with blistering heat.
40:34You love her, right?
40:36Shoot yourself in the leg,
40:38and I'll pull her up a bit.
40:39The chain scraped.
40:41She dropped another notch,
40:43sparks grazing her hair.
40:44I was shaking all over,
40:46my knuckles white around the gun grip.
40:48Amanda heard it.
40:49With painful effort,
40:50she forced her eyes open
40:51and looked me across
40:52the dozen meter drop.
40:53She didn't beg.
40:54She didn't tell me to run.
40:56Her face was a mask of blood,
40:57but at the corner of her talc
40:58curled into a cold smirk.
41:00She mouthed something at me.
41:02I understood.
41:03Justin's arrogant voice
41:04was still echoing
41:05through the factory.
41:06I looked at Amanda
41:07and raised both hands.
41:09My gesture of surrender
41:11pleased Justin immensely.
41:13Leaning on Annie,
41:14he stepped out of the shadows,
41:16utterly smug.
41:18For the first time,
41:19I questioned my own taste.
41:21How the hell
41:22had I ever loved
41:23a creature like Justin?
41:24Amanda seemed to be thinking
41:26the exact same thing.
41:29Why the look?
41:30I thought you loved her.
41:33So close now.
41:34Three steps away.
41:36I spent a round
41:37and aimed the gun
41:38straight at Justin,
41:39still mid-laugh.
41:40I dempted half a magazine
41:42in one breath.
41:43The mank laughter
41:45cut off like a switch.
41:47She's insane!
41:49What replaced it
41:50was Annie's
41:50blood-capling shriek.
41:52I ejected the spent magazine
41:53without a thought.
41:55Slammed a fresh one home
41:56with a click.
41:57Amanda,
41:58did you see that?
41:59Everything you taught me,
42:01I learned it all.
42:03Surround her!
42:08My arm was numb
42:09from the reol,
42:10smoke still rising
42:11from the barrel.
42:13Annie was curled up
42:14in the corner,
42:15clutching her head
42:16and shrieking like a cat
42:17with its tail stepped on.
42:19I had no time for her.
42:21I looked up.
42:22Dozens of meters above,
42:24Amanda was still hanging
42:25on the load-bear beams.
42:29Her face was a wreck
42:31of bruises,
42:32but her eyes
42:32were still bright,
42:34fixed on me
42:35through the dust.
42:36Get her down!
42:37Cut the damn chains!
42:40Amanda swung down
42:42and crashed into me,
42:43nearly taking me out.
42:45I couldn't speak.
42:46My hands were shaking
42:47so much I couldn't
42:48get the cuppas off.
42:49Tears splashed
42:50onto her collar.
42:52You're bleeding so much!
42:54Let's die together,
42:56Lyra.
42:57Justin's laugh
42:58crawled out
42:59from the corner.
43:00I went rudged.
43:02The explosion
43:03ripped through
43:04the depths of the factory,
43:05a tidal wave of heat
43:07rushing toward us.
43:08As we fell,
43:09a pair of arms
43:10locked around me
43:11like iron.
43:12The smoke choked me,
43:14made my ears ring.
43:15Amanda!
43:16Amanda!
43:17Stop yelling.
43:18My ears hurt.
43:19She lowered her head,
43:20her forcing the top
43:21of my hair,
43:22the taste of blood
43:23thick in her mouth.
43:24You did good today,
43:26little bride.
43:27I couldn't hold it
43:28back anymore.
43:28I sob out loud.
43:30Amanda carried me
43:31out of the factory.
43:32Only later did I realize
43:34I was shaking.
43:35The stench of blood
43:36made me sick.
43:37I grabbed Amanda
43:38as she tried to stand.
43:40Where are you going?
43:41You're still bleeding.
43:42I know.
43:44Stay here.
43:45I'll be right back.
43:47Backup arrived.
43:48I sat on the only
43:50clean patch of ground,
43:51watching her
43:52pick through the wreckage.
43:53If I hadn't come,
43:55I couldn't let myself
43:57finish that thought.
43:57Justin's body.
43:59Make sure there's
44:00nothing left
44:01to come back
44:01and bite us.
44:02They dug Annie
44:03out fast.
44:04Her face was caked
44:05in mud and blood,
44:06trembling like
44:07a terrified quail.
44:08A shout rose
44:09from deep
44:10within the rubble.
44:11Bost!
44:13Bost!
44:14Found him!
44:15Over here!
44:15Still alive!
44:16Take him too.
44:18Amanda stood over him,
44:19her voice ice cold.
44:23I watched the car
44:24doors slam shut.
44:26Five years of this
44:27nightmare,
44:27finally over.
44:29Two weeks was more
44:30than enough to heal.
44:31Through the prison glass,
44:33I saw Justin again.
44:34Every inch of his
44:35exposed skin
44:36was a patchwork of scars
44:38ripped open
44:38by the explosion.
44:40That already
44:41euless leg
44:42dragged behind him
44:43like a sack of garbage.
44:44I thought I'd feel
44:45a flicker of pity.
44:46I didn't.
44:47All I felt was
44:48pure,
44:49unadulterated
44:50satisfaction.
44:51The genuine love
44:53I'd given,
44:54he'd once stomped it
44:55into the mud
44:56and ground it
44:57under his thew.
44:59Laya,
45:00baby,
45:01please help me.
45:03I swear I've changed.
45:05I've got nothing left.
45:07You used to love me
45:09so much.
45:10Please just talk
45:11to the mother.
45:12Beg her to let me out.
45:13I'm begging you.
45:15Stomach churned
45:16with nausea.
45:17Looking at that face
45:18I'd once been
45:19so infatuated with,
45:20I felt nothing
45:21but visceral disgust.
45:25Did you forget
45:26who put you in here?
45:27I want you to rot
45:28in this hellhole
45:29for the rest
45:29of your miserable life.
45:32As I turned to leave,
45:34he was still pounding
45:35frantically
45:35against the glass
45:36behind me.
45:37I didn't look back.
45:38I never will again.
45:40I leaned back
45:40into the leather seat
45:41and let out
45:42a long, deep breath.
45:43At a red light,
45:44I glanced out
45:44and spotted
45:45two familiar faces,
45:46my father
45:47and my stepmother.
45:48Stop the car.
45:49The driver respectfully
45:50hit the brakes.
45:51I rolled down the window
45:52and stared at them,
45:53cold.
45:54Throw it to them.
45:55The sea breeze
45:56was salty,
45:57whipping at my heart.
45:58On this private island
46:00where no one
46:01could find us,
46:02Amanda and I
46:03had already been
46:03hiding away
46:04for almost a week.
46:07She tightened her arms
46:08and locked me
46:09against her.
46:10What's on your
46:11pretty mind?
46:12Just watching the ocean,
46:14wondering what gift
46:15you got me this time.
46:16She chuddled,
46:16her breath hot
46:17against my neck.
46:18I didn't answer
46:19with words.
46:19I just turned around
46:21and straddled her lap.
46:22I cupped her face
46:23in my hands
46:23and kissed her
46:24without a second thought.
46:25Those eyes of hers,
46:27they had my reflection
46:28in them now.
46:29God, I was crazy
46:30about that look.
46:31What kind of gift
46:31do you want?
46:32She traced slow circles
46:33over the diamond ring
46:34on my finger,
46:36her gaze utterly focused.
46:38Lyra,
46:39when we get back,
46:40pick out a wedding dress.
46:42My heart slammed
46:43against my ribs.
46:44The sudden Virgo
46:46nearly knocked me
46:47off balance.
46:48A wedding dressed.
46:57I'm going to give you
46:58the best wedding.
46:59A wedding with just you and me.
47:01I won the whole damn world
47:03to know you're mine.
47:04Hearing her powerful heartbeat,
47:06tears spilled down my face
47:08without any warning.
47:10The sudden flood of happiness
47:12swelled in my chest
47:13until it ached.
47:14I threw my arms
47:16round her neck
47:17and harried my face
47:18in the curve of her shoulder.
47:19Yes.
47:20Let's get married.
47:25I don't want anything else.
47:27All I need now
47:29is her.
47:33For the rest of my life,
47:35just Amanda.
47:37The sea wind rushed at me,
47:39thick with salt,
47:40whipping my veil in the air.
47:42I stood at the end
47:42of a small path
47:43paved in white sand,
47:44looking at the woman
47:45in the black suit
47:46ahead of me.
47:47The wound on her shoulder
47:48had healed,
47:49leaving only a faint pink scar
47:51hidden beneath the collar
47:52of her shirt.
47:53I had never seen her
47:54this nervous.
47:54I walked toward her
47:56step by step
47:56across the sand,
47:57each step feeling like
47:58I was treading on clouds.
48:00No guests.
48:01No sea of flowers.
48:03None of those hollow,
48:05hypocritical blessings.
48:06Just her and me.
48:08What are you so nervous about?
48:11Afraid you'd run.
48:16I glanced down
48:17at the ring on my finger.
48:18This ring had survived
48:19an explosion
48:20and we'd found it again,
48:21just like me.
48:22From a discarded pawn
48:23sold off at a wedding
48:24to standing here now,
48:26this was my own choice.
48:27The priest began
48:28to recite the vows.
48:30I didn't hear
48:30a single word.
48:31My head was filled
48:32with the image
48:33of kissing me
48:33in that storage room,
48:34reeking of blood.
48:35Lyra Green,
48:36do you take this woman
48:37to be your lawfully
48:38wedded wife?
48:39I squeezed my eyes shut
48:40and forced back
48:41the tears threatened
48:42to spill over.
48:42I looked at Amanda.
48:44The rims of her eyes
48:45were a little red,
48:46but she was fighting back
48:47a smile at the corner
48:48of her mouth.
48:49I do.
48:53I love you, Lyra.
48:55When she lunged forward
48:56and kissed me,
48:57the bouquet fell to the ground,
48:59petals scattering everywhere.
49:01The sea wind swept my veil
49:02high into the air,
49:04a blur of white.
49:05I grabbed her collar,
49:06rose on my tipos
49:07and kissed her back.
49:09I know.
49:09I know you love me.
49:12And now I know it too.
49:14I am worthy of being loved.
49:16In the distance,
49:17waves crashed against the reef.
49:19The setting sun
49:20set the whole ocean ablaze
49:22in shades of orange and red.
49:23I lean against her chest,
49:25listening to that
49:26familiar heartbeat.
49:27There will never again
49:29be a Lyra Green
49:30who can be sold.
