00:46Sì
01:00Wait
01:01when he returned he had a luxury shawl
01:03in his hands
01:04He wrapped it tightly around me
01:05Leaving only my rain-damp eyes exposed
01:07Flustered I looked up to thank him
01:09But I only met his suddenly darkened gaze
01:11His thumb still rested against the edge of the scarf
01:14His Adam's apple bobbed
01:15Then he suddenly spoke
01:16Stay tonight
01:17I froze for a second and blurted out
01:19Isn't someone else coming
01:20He cut me off
01:21His knuckle pressed against my hairline
01:23Irritation slipped into his voice
01:25You actually believe that?
01:27You think I'm some fucking degenerate who sleeps around
01:29These past few years
01:31Who else has there been but you?
01:33Damien pulled me onto the bed
01:35Dazed with pleasure, he leaned in close to my ear
01:37This is the last time
01:40Lila's coming home
01:41I don't want her doubting us
01:42So go on that date, be good
01:44He'd finally told me the truth
01:45Furious, I bit down hard on his shoulder
01:47Damien's stamina was insane
01:49People said men started slowing down after 25
01:52That clearly didn't apply to Damien
01:53Not until dawn fog seeped pale through the curtains
01:56Only then did he end the battle and head for the shower
01:59When the water started pattering
02:00I gathered my clothes and moved to the guest room
02:03This was our unspoken routine
02:04Damien slept light
02:06He hated sharing a bed
02:07So no matter how exhausted he left me all these five years
02:10No matter how tired I was
02:11Afterward, I dragged myself to the guest room on my last ounce of strength
02:15The next day, I woke up past nine
02:17I washed up, went downstairs
02:18And ran into Damien just back from the shooting range
02:21He was wearing a white tank top
02:23The muscles across his shoulders and back stood out beneath it
02:25I had the servant leave you breakfast
02:27I waved him off
02:28I'm late for work, I still need to catch a cab to the docks
02:31Damien arched a brow
02:32Why don't I just have my driver take you?
02:34I was putting on my shoes by the door
02:36It slipped out before I could stop it
02:37No
02:38The new cappy announcements are happening today
02:41If the other soldiers see me getting out of the Don's car
02:43There's no story I could tell that would explain that
02:45Damien's hand paused on the water bottle cap
02:47The room went quiet for a second
02:49After a moment, he scoffed lightly
02:51Suit yourself then
02:51Before I left, Damien called me back and handed me a card
02:54Your blind date, next week
02:57A buzz rang in my ears, yanking me back to reality
02:59One night tangled up together, and I'd almost forgotten
03:02The only reason I came to deliver the condoms last night
03:05Was to end our five-year arrangement
03:06Afraid he'd think I still wanted to hang on
03:09I took the card
03:10The sharp plastic edges dug into my palm, hurting a little
03:12My nose stung, I gave a low
03:15Okay
03:16I'll go
03:18For years, I stayed at Damien's estate every weekend
03:21At first, I lugged bags back and forth
03:23Clothes, skincare, all of it
03:25He said the back and forth was a hassle
03:27Had someone build me a vanity table
03:29Just to hold my things
03:30The day I left for good
03:32I packed it all up
03:33The pink slippers I always wore by the door
03:35The nightgown in his closet
03:36While I did all this
03:38Damien just leaned quietly against the doorframe
03:40Watching me
03:41His eyes gave nothing away
03:42Until I packed everything up and said my goodbyes to him
03:45From now on, we're strictly boss and support in it
03:47Reading my concern, Damien let out a light scoff
03:49Relax
03:50I won't make things hard for you
03:52Running like hell
03:53I finally made it to the syndicate's front company headquarters before ten
03:56My co-worker, Sophia, surprised me with a coffee
03:58Ivy, congrats in advance
04:00Once you make capo of operations
04:02Don't forget us little people in the trenches
04:04The result's not even out yet
04:06She scoffed
04:07Don't be modest
04:08Out of everyone gunning for the spot
04:09You've bled the most for this family
04:11And secured the biggest territories
04:12Besides, everyone sees how you've worked yourself to the bone for the syndicate these past few years
04:16You taking that seat is what everyone expects
04:18I dropped the modesty and grinned at the whole team
04:20If it happens, drinks are on me
04:23At the most expensive club in the city
04:25The office erupted in cheers
04:28Three minutes to ten
04:29During this time, I refreshed the encrypted server on my phone countless times
04:33I even ran to the bathroom three times out of nerves
04:36Finally, the secure message popped up
04:38And the bold text jumped out at me
04:40We regret to inform you that your elevation to capo has been denied
04:43A boom went off in my head
04:44My mind went blank
04:45The crew rushed to crowd around my screen
04:47Saw the result
04:48The room, loud a second ago
04:50Went so quiet everyone could hear a pin drop
04:52Until the conciliary, Diana, walked in with a smile
04:55Breaking the dead silence
04:56Let me introduce everyone
04:57This is Lila, the new capo of operations appointed personally by the Don
05:01The moment I looked up, my breath caught
05:03She wore a crisp white suit
05:05Hair pulled back loose, showing off a slender pale neck
05:08She looked exactly like the photo tucked in Damien's wallet
05:10It hit me like a bad cold
05:12My head went numb
05:13My nose stuffed up
05:14Some heavy force just kept pushing me forward
05:16The walk to Damien's office wasn't long
05:18But I kept wiping my eyes with the back of my hand
05:20People passing by stared at me
05:22But I couldn't care less about losing face
05:24I knocked, Damien's usual cold voice answered
05:26Come in
05:27I stood there, eyes red
05:28The moment I spoke, the tears came
05:30Why?
05:30He didn't even look up
05:31Kept flipping through files
05:33Why what?
05:34I raised my voice
05:35My tone filled with restrained grievance
05:37The family has a dozen open territories
05:39Why did you have to give Lila the exact seat I bled for?
05:43Damien finally looked up
05:44Flat, like he was discussing something totally irrelevant
05:47She wanted operations
05:49So because she wanted it, you steal five years of my work away from me?
05:52He knew exactly what it took for me to get here
05:54To secure this rank
05:55I took the routes that no one else would take
05:57I even took a bullet from the jungle and almost didn't make it back
06:00Damien stood, walked over, looked down at me
06:02Ivy
06:03His eyes were ice and emotionless
06:04This is reality
06:05I sit in this chair
06:06I decide everything
06:08I just wanted this to be fair
06:10Is that so much to ask?
06:11Something about that seemed to amuse him
06:13He laughed low
06:13Fair
06:14He leaned in a step closer
06:15His breath cold against my face
06:17You're talking to me about fair?
06:19Ivy, let's get one thing straight
06:21If you hadn't slept with me
06:22With your pathetic civilian bloodline
06:24You wouldn't have even been allowed to wash blood off the floors of the syndicate
06:27Why don't you go ask the connected sons of Capos who bled alongside you if they wanted a fair shot
06:32You never complained about the power that came with sleeping your way up
06:35Now you want to talk fairness?
06:36His words landed like a slap
06:38My face burned
06:39Even breathing hurt
06:40Then it hit me
06:41Even though I risked my life for five years to prove my worth
06:44I never thought about using my relationship with Damien to get ahead in the family
06:47But I couldn't change the truth
06:49He was the reason I got brought into the syndicate in the first place
06:52I didn't have the right to talk about fair
06:54So I prepared to walk away from the life
06:56Honestly, the way Damien and I first met was like a bad movie
07:00Fresh out of college
07:01I'd just moved to the city
07:02My ex cheated on me
07:04Then jumped straight into dating her
07:06No gap at all
07:07Between money troubles and heartbreak
07:09I called a friend
07:10We went to a bar to drown my sorrows
07:12First time in my life I drank that much
07:14Drank myself into a blackout
07:16I was the type who never talked to strangers
07:18That night I somehow walked up to a hot guy at the bar
07:21That guy was Damien
07:23He sat alone at the bar that night
07:24Cold, striking, impossible to ignore
07:27Handsome as hell
07:28Like he'd walked off a magazine cover
07:30I watched him shut down the eighth girl who tried to hit on him
07:33She is
07:35Something pulled me over anyway
07:36I dropped into the seat next to him
07:40Will you come home with me?
07:41He lowered his head and took a sip of his drink
07:44Never met someone with a death wish quite like yours
07:46That night, in my cramped rental apartment
07:48We had our first intense explosive night
07:50Before that, I had never experienced anything like that
07:54It was completely addictive
07:55After that night, I thought we'd never cross paths again
07:59The next day, when I was brought into the Valerius Syndicate's front company
08:03To prove myself as a fixer
08:04I looked up and saw the man in the bespoke suit sitting in the center seat
08:08In that instant, my heart almost jumped out of my chest
08:12I recognized him instantly
08:13Forced myself calm and proved my usefulness
08:16After the meeting ended, he stood up
08:18Whispered a word to the consigliere
08:20And left
08:21Later on, I received the initiation offer from the syndicate
08:24On my first day, the family threw a banquet
08:26Damien gave a speech at the head of the table as the dawn
08:29When the banquet ended, he cornered me by the elevators
08:34You're Ivy, right?
08:35Can you do casual?
08:37Sex?
08:37No relationship attached?
08:39I was never the casual type
08:41If anything, the opposite
08:42I can handle it
08:44The second I heard my own voice
08:46I knew
08:47I was done for
08:48I'd fallen for him like a goddamn fool
08:49After that
08:50Our relationship was split with a brutal blade
08:53We were strictly Don and Soldier by day
08:56At night, we left our titles behind
08:58And became perfect partners in bed
09:00After every night together
09:01Damien would send a generous sum of money to my account
09:04Along with endless designer bags and diamonds
09:06But what he gave me was far more than that
09:09Under his hand, I went from a clueless civilian
09:11To one of the most lethal negotiators in the syndicate
09:14Every step I climbed carried his fingerprints
09:18Slowly, I started wanting things I had no right to want
09:21Hoping that one day when he looked at me
09:23I'd see more than lust
09:25Today, the dream finally broke
09:27Turns out fairy tales don't end with the glass slipper making you a princess
09:31When I was kicked to the curb like a fool
09:33I realized how wrong I'd been
09:35What was never mine was never going to be
09:38Because I didn't make capo
09:39At my old rank, my request to step down from active duty
09:42Didn't need Damien's personal approval
09:44I just went to the conciliare to hand over my ledgers
09:47And it was done
09:48Diana gave me a tight hug before I left
09:51Diana, thank you for looking out for me all these years
09:53I hope things keep going great for you
09:55Before I leave, I need to ask you for one favor
09:58Don't tell anyone my departure until I finish handing over my remaining territory
10:01She was the only person who knew about my relationship with Damien
10:04I understand
10:05After leaving headquarters, I got a call from Grandma
10:08Sweetie, did you get that big boss job?
10:10Didn't you say you'd tell Grandma first if it worked out?
10:13My nose stung
10:14Grandma, I don't want to stay in Kingsley City anymore
10:17That's wonderful
10:18All these years, I've never liked you being so far away all on your own
10:22I've been wanting you to come home and keep me company
10:24When are you coming back, sweetheart?
10:26I'll make your favorite meatloaf
10:27Apple pie, too
10:29Listening to her ramble on, something in me stirred
10:31I choked back a sob
10:32She was clearly trying to comfort me
10:34She'd bragged to people more than once
10:36Her granddaughter worked in the biggest enterprise tower in Kingsley City
10:39The plan had been simple
10:40Once the promotion came through, I'd bring her to the Kingsley City
10:43A few more years of grinding, I could afford a secure safe house in the suburbs
10:47A home just for the two of us
10:49I'd imagined it would be so beautiful
10:50Reality turned out so much cooler
10:52That night, I couldn't sleep
10:54Tossed and turned all night
10:55I opened my phone and mindlessly scrolled through the syndicate's secure internal messaging network
11:00Funny how fate works
11:01At 2.10am, I saw a status update on the Inner Circle's private channel
11:05After all these years, some guy still falls asleep with his arms around me
11:09It was from Lila's account
11:11In the photo, a girl lay on her side, showing off her waist
11:14A large hand, knuckles sharp, wrapped tight around it
11:17Then I saw it
11:17The designer ring on his index finger
11:19My heart seized up
11:20Nobody knew that ring better than I did
11:23I'd saved up months of pay to buy it for Damien's birthday last year
11:26He'd told me then, helpless
11:29Ivy, you don't need to buy me gifts way out of your budget
11:31It's not necessary
11:32But cheap stuff doesn't feel like enough for you?
11:35He'd leaned down, kissed my forehead
11:37Doting
11:37Fine. Noted
11:39Given what we were, I figured he'd never actually wear it
11:42Until the syndicate sit down the next day
11:44He spoke at the head of the table
11:46There it was, glaring
11:47Right on his knuckle sharp finger
11:49At the time, all the women in the family were gossiping about it
11:52I sat in the crowd
11:53Didn't dare look up
11:54Damien's eyes lifted
11:55Just enough to catch the exact second I glanced up
11:58He flashed his wrist at me on purpose
12:00Lazy, careless, and somehow devastatingly hot
12:03I nearly screamed right there on the spot
12:05Now that same ring showed up in another girl's photo
12:08Still in the same intimate gesture
12:10Tears hit the screen before I even noticed them falling
12:12It hit me then
12:13He wasn't a light sleeper who hated company
12:15It's just that the person he was willing to hold was never me
12:17A week before I left, I never expected Lila to come looking for me
12:21At the coffee shop, she got straight to the point
12:23You're the one who's been his bed warmer for five years, right?
12:26I found this in the guest room at his place
12:28Since my first day back, I've been running checks on every female associate in the family
12:33Today, I finally found the rat
12:35Some instinct telling me to explain
12:37The next second, cold coffee hit me full in the face
12:40It ran down my cheeks
12:41Lila stood up straight
12:42Slapped me across the face
12:44Are you shameless or what?
12:46I wiped the liquid off my face
12:47Ready to slap her
12:48But my wrist got caught mid-air
12:50I looked up into a pair of dark, unreadable eyes
12:54Damien's ring was gone from his finger
12:55Get in the car, I'll handle this
12:57You bastard, Damien
12:59We'd only been apart six months and you already found someone else?
13:02If she hadn't come at me today
13:04Were you planning to hide this from me forever?
13:07She shot me one last furious look, then left
13:10The moment our eyes met
13:12His eyes filled with a quiet, unspoken pressure
13:14Did I not tell you?
13:15Never tell her about us, hmm?
13:17She came to me first
13:19I was just sitting here
13:20Waiting on someone
13:21Like he didn't believe a word
13:25Dawn, did you forget?
13:26Today's the blind date you set up for me
13:28I glanced out the window
13:29A luxury car had just pulled up
13:31If nothing's changed, my date's about to walk in
13:33Then go on, enjoy your date
13:35There was something clenched jaw about the way he said it
13:38He noticed the coffee stains on my shirt
13:40Took off his coat, draped it over me
13:42Then he walked out, fast, without another word
13:46The blind date Damien set me up with was a textbook trust fund brat
13:49We had nothing to say to each other
13:51I gritted through an hour with him
13:53Then lied about a family emergency to leave
13:55He insisted on driving me home anyway
13:57Outside my building, I watched his car pull away
14:00Finally, I let out a breath
14:01I turned around and collided with a towering figure
14:04Damien, one hand in his pocket
14:06Raised his other to check his watch
14:07Huh, only an hour and you're already home?
14:10No movie?
14:11No dinner?
14:11I caught the snark in his voice
14:13Decided to ignore it
14:14Turned a head inside
14:15He pulled me back around to face him
14:17Ivy
14:19You into me that much?
14:20Zero interest in any other guy?
14:22I'm getting engaged to Lila
14:23Don't get any more ideas about us
14:25I mean it
14:26Otherwise, the syndicate won't keep you alive
14:28Don, don't worry
14:29I don't have many strengths
14:30But I do know my place
14:32He watched me walk away
14:33Leaning against the car, he lit a cigarette, restless
14:35He just stood there, head tilted up, watching
14:38The old building's motion sensor lights lit floor by floor as I climbed
14:42Not until the light in my apartment came on did he finally drive off
14:45Back home, the first thing I did was sell every gift Damien had ever given me on the black market
14:51Along with all the handmade stuff I'd never gotten around to giving him
14:54Over the next few days, I made a point of ignoring Damien's cold face at the office
14:58Even when we crossed paths, I called him Don like everyone else, casual as ever
15:03Once the final cartel territory I was responsible for was secured, I could leave
15:07Thinking about it, I got excited and booked myself a flight home early
15:10Ivy, you done for the day?
15:12A hot coffee was suddenly slid onto the corner of my desk
15:15It was Ethan, the young enforcer who had backed me up in a shootout before
15:18He scratched his head, a little shy
15:20I saw you've been grinding hard on this turf war lately
15:23Must be exhausting
15:24Want to grab dinner after work?
15:25Kind of a wrap party?
15:27I was leaving soon anyway
15:28Might as well thank the people who'd helped me
15:30Sure
15:33My treat
15:34Consider it a thank you for covering my flank last time
15:37Ethan's eyes lit up
15:38He hurried to catch up with me
15:40Right outside the office
15:41A delivery guy showed up with a bouquet of sunflowers
15:44Handed it straight to Ethan
15:45He took the flowers, turned, and held them out to me
15:48Ears going red
15:49Ivy, I saw your post about liking sunflowers
15:51Wanted to get you some
15:53There it is!
15:54Don't forget to treat us!
15:55You two look great together
15:56I stood there dumb for a second
15:58Then it clicked
15:58This man was trying to ask me out
16:00I opened my mouth to turn him down
16:02Then I caught a luxury car parked nearby
16:04Damien sat in the driver's seat, window halfway down
16:07His eyes were locked on the flowers between me and Ethan
16:10His face had gone dark as a storm cloud
16:12Nothing was blocking him
16:13But he laid on the horn anyway
16:15Then he finally tore away
16:16Securing the final territory was also my last day in the life
16:20The rival cartel sent a lieutenant, Marcus, over to negotiate the borders
16:24And I was the one deployed to handle him
16:26At the table, Marcus was an extremely sleazy degenerate
16:29He forced drink after drink on me, over and over
16:31A few times he put his hand on my shoulder
16:34I choked down the disgust until it ended
16:36Walking out of the private club, a freezing drizzle began to fall
16:39This part of the city was desolate and strictly cartel controlled
16:42The encrypted map showed the nearest safe house was two miles away
16:46So I had no choice but to grit my teeth and walk there
16:49Following the map, the streetlights got sparser
16:51The area turned more and more desolate
16:53Then footsteps behind me, deliberately quiet
16:56Hey there, sweet Ivy
16:58It's cold out here
16:59Why don't you hop in my car?
17:01My heart seized
17:02I bolted, dropping my phone on the concrete
17:04Not even daring to stop and pick it up
17:06Terrified he would run me down in his car
17:08I ducked into a labyrinth of narrow, pitch-black alleyways
17:11My hands were shaking so violently I could barely make a fist
17:14My trembling fingers finally found the side button on my watch
17:18And I pressed the SOS beacon
17:19During the bloodbath half a year ago, Damien had custom-ordered this watch for me
17:23It had a military-grade GPS chip
17:25The emergency beacon was hardwired directly to his private line
17:29The moment the line connected, I nearly burst into tears
17:32Damien!
17:32Hello? Damien is in the shower, what do you want?
17:35I'm being hunted by the cartel Lieutenant Marcos from tonight's sit-down
17:38It's too dark
17:40I don't know my exact coordinates
17:41But Damien's system can track my watch's GPS
17:44Can you tell him to send the cleaners?
17:47Still addicted to playing the victim, huh?
17:49Whose call is that?
17:50Hope flickered in my chest again
17:52It's Ivy, she's being clingy about talking to you
17:55Does she need something?
17:56What could she need?
17:58She just wants to ruin my night
18:00If you take that call, I'm leaving right now
18:03Okay, baby, relax
18:05I won't answer it
18:06Before I could get another word out
18:08The line went dead with a sharp beep
18:10I stood frozen, phone in hand
18:12Then I saw a shadow stretch out under the streetlight behind me
18:15My blood ran cold
18:16The next day, Damien stepped into headquarters
18:18Glanced at Ivy's desk out of habit
18:20She was always the first one in
18:22Almost nine now
18:23And her seat sat empty
18:24He didn't think much of it
18:26Figured she'd overslept for once
18:27He remembered the call from her yesterday
18:29It sounded like she tried to make amends
18:31His mood lifted
18:32He decided that when he had some free time today
18:34He would grace her with a callback
18:36At 10.30, the capo briefing started on time
18:39Halfway through, Diana froze at her screen
18:41Clapped a hand over her mouth
18:43A short, sharp scream
18:44Damien's face darkened
18:45Diana, we're in a meeting
18:46What's going on?
18:48Ivy, something happened to Ivy
18:50Diana's voice cracked
18:51Hands shaking
18:52Damien's mind went blank
18:54Like he'd been hit with a hammer
18:55He shot up
18:56Chair screeching against the floor
18:58Speak fucking clearly
18:59What do you mean something happened?
19:01First time he'd ever lost it in front of his underbosses
19:03Then Diana turned her screen toward him
19:05Crying
19:05The footage seized his breath instantly
19:07Two minutes long
19:08Every second felt like it was flaying him alive
19:11In the video
19:11A man dragged Ivy by the hair into a dark alley
19:14She fought back
19:15Got kicked down hard
19:16Fists rained down on her
19:18She kept clawing for the watch on her wrist
19:20Hitting the emergency button
19:21Over and over
19:22The same watch he'd had fitted with a tracker
19:24The one where he'd set himself as her emergency contact
19:27Damien's blood turned to ice
19:29Then surged
19:30Wild
19:30A second later
19:31He pulled out his phone
19:32His contacts sat clean
19:33Not a single missed call
19:35Until he found Ivy's number in his blocked list
19:37Clearly, Lila had put it there yesterday
19:39This is the encrypted evidence package
19:41Ivy sent to the syndicate internal tribunal
19:43And she CC'd the commission
19:44She stated that after the negotiations last night
19:46Marcus attempted to attack her
19:48But luckily she was saved by a local street gang
19:50Passing through the alley
19:51In this footage
19:51She risked her life running to an area with a camera
19:53Just so it would be recorded
19:54She begged the tribunal to use the video evidence
19:57To authorize a hit
19:58Where is she?
19:59Damien cut her off
20:00Voice hoarse
20:01The words barely holding together
20:04Ivy submitted her request to step down from active duty a week ago
20:07By now she's probably already left Kingsley City
20:09Why did Ivy walk away without anyone reporting it to me?
20:14Her release papers didn't cross my desk either
20:16Syndicate rules, Dawn
20:18For unmade associates stepping down
20:19Only the department capo's approval is needed
20:21Ivy's elevation to capo was denied last week
20:24Surely you haven't forgotten?
20:25That single line left Damien speechless
20:27He knew Diana was standing up for Ivy
20:29Because nobody understood why Ivy's promotion failed better than he did
20:33I received a call from the syndicate's cleaners
20:36Right after getting off the plane
20:37Then I found a quiet place to remotely cooperate with them
20:40To finish my statement
20:42And handed over the evidence for the hit
20:44Before leaving the airport
20:46I tossed the SIM card tied to Kingsley City in the trash
20:49Back home in West Haven
20:50I took out most of the clean money I had accumulated in the city over the years
20:54Then I brought grandma in from the countryside to live with me
20:57On top of that
20:59All the designer bags and gifts Damien gave me sold for just over $2 million
21:03Over the next few months, I did market research around town
21:07I prepared to open a legitimate clothing boutique
21:10It had always been one of my childhood dreams, after all
21:14On opening day, grandma's face lit up with an endless smile
21:17Warm and bright like the autumn sun
21:19Friends I'd invited filled the shop
21:21Amid the noise and laughter, I found myself thinking
21:23Maybe spending my whole life here by grandma's side
21:26Wasn't so bad after all
21:27Only sometimes late at night would my mind drift back to those five years fighting in Kingsley City
21:32Whatever mess of feelings came with it, that time had shaped me for real
21:35At first, any mention of Kingsley City brought Damien's cold, distant face rushing back
21:40Loaf and hate twisted together like two currents
21:42Yanking me out of sleep before dawn
21:44I'd stare at the dark ceiling until morning
21:46For a long stretch, I thought this man was something I could never get over
21:50Not in this lifetime
21:51I figured just thinking of him would still make my chest clench
21:54Then, six months later, I caught sight of a man at a bar
21:57Just his back, but it looked exactly like him
21:59Even the way he lifted his glass carried that same familiar curve
22:02I braced for my mood to crash
22:04Instead, my heart stayed calm, completely unbothered
22:07I kept chatting and laughing with my friends like normal
22:09In that moment, I realized
22:11Even if the real Damien walked in, I could calmly say
22:14Long time no see
22:15Turns out I'd already walked out of that shadow, quietly
22:17Without even noticing
