00:01I was the mistress of Mafia boss Rafe Balandi.
00:04After his enemies killed him, I went back to the year he was 18.
00:11I found the injured Rafe in an alley, pinned him against the wall and kissed him.
00:16Get into another fight and I'll kiss you raw.
00:19Three years after Rafe was killed by his enemies, my life came to an end too.
00:23I never meant to die for love.
00:24I just miscounted my sleeping pills.
00:26I just wanted a good night's sleep so badly.
00:29When I woke up, I was 20 years in the past.
00:33That year, my father Graham Pembroke hadn't gone bankrupt yet.
00:36He was still a big shot everyone bent over backward to please.
00:39That year, I was still a carefree rich girl who spent money like water.
00:44That year, I didn't know Rafe Balandi.
00:46Rafe once told me he went to Ridgeway High School.
00:49It was such a bad school that I'd never even heard of it.
00:51A few times, after a night of passion.
00:54There are a bunch of back alleys behind Ridgeway.
00:56I used to fight there all the time, never lost.
00:58At 30, Rafe had learned to bury his sharp edges.
01:01He never got his hands dirty.
01:02Things just happened to people who crossed him.
01:04I couldn't imagine 18-year-old Rafe getting into a fight.
01:07I kind of wish I could have seen it.
01:10Forget it, baby.
01:11I would have scared you off.
01:13I never thought I'd really get to see Rafe at 18.
01:16Just like he said, maybe he really never lost a fight.
01:18But that didn't mean he never got hurt.
01:20I only went behind the Ridgeway alley to try my luck.
01:23I didn't expect to actually find the injured Rafe in one of the alleys.
01:26Rafe sat against the wall, a metal pipe lying by his foot.
01:29He looked like he'd just finished a fight and hadn't caught his breath yet.
01:33He pulled out a cigarette and lit it, then looked up.
01:38What the hell are you looking at?
01:40Three fears.
01:44So what if I'm looking?
01:46You left me for three years.
01:48Three years without a single good night's sleep.
01:51I can't even have a look?
01:54Rafe thought I was provoking him.
01:56What the?
01:58You want to get your ass kicked?
01:59Rafe was tall, built, and practically screamed,
02:02don't fuck with me.
02:03If I were really 18, maybe he could have scared me.
02:06But I wasn't 18.
02:07I was 38, Rafe's widow, spoiled and cherished by him for 10 years.
02:11He couldn't scare me.
02:13You just got beaten up.
02:14Better behave.
02:15I pressed a finger against the bruise at the corner of his mouth.
02:17Does it hurt?
02:18Fuck.
02:19Then he frowned and slapped my hand away.
02:21What's wrong with you?
02:22Keep your hands off me or I'll hit you.
02:24He annoyed.
02:25He used to want to stick to me 24 hours a day.
02:27Now I couldn't even touch him.
02:29Rafe braced himself against the wall and stood,
02:31paused before limping away.
02:33His left leg was clearly hurt.
02:36Did you hurt your leg?
02:38Come to the hospital with me.
02:39Fuck off!
02:40Leave me the hell alone!
02:41I stumbled back and nearly fell.
02:43Snapped me.
02:43Shoved me.
02:44Cursed me.
02:45Brilliant.
02:45I strode up.
02:46Grabbed his shoulder.
02:47Pinned him against the wall.
02:49Gripped his jaw.
02:50And kissed him hard, biting at his lips.
02:52If he couldn't say what I wanted,
02:53he could shut up.
02:55I'd kiss him until he learned.
03:00Of course it worked.
03:01His whole body froze.
03:02And he stopped breathing until his face turned red.
03:04His eyes went wide.
03:06Right, I'd forgotten.
03:07He was 18.
03:08A complete rookie who didn't even know how to kiss.
03:10Afraid he'd actually suffocate,
03:12I let his lips go and lightly patted his cheek.
03:14Breathe.
03:15Only then did he start gulping in air.
03:17Where'd all that attitude go?
03:19Come on, say it again.
03:21Go to the hospital.
03:23He lifted his chin.
03:24No.
03:24I leaned closer again,
03:25brushing my lips against his lower lip.
03:27Hmm?
03:28Take advantage of me again and I really will hit you.
03:30If he was going to hit me, then hit me.
03:32Why yelling?
03:33I held back a laugh.
03:35Hospital?
03:37I helped him to the street to get a cab and said slowly,
03:40No more fighting.
03:41If you really have to fight, call me.
03:44Do I know you?
03:45Who the hell are you to boss me around?
03:47I'm Ceasley Pemberin, your future lover.
03:50Get into another fight behind my back and I'll kiss you raw.
03:53Fucking psycho.
03:55What did you say?
03:58Nothing.
04:02Rafe's left leg had a minor fracture,
04:04so they put it in a cast.
04:05I had my driver bring the car to the hospital and told Rafe,
04:08Come stay at my place.
04:10We just met and you're already asking me to stay at your place?
04:13Isn't that a little forward?
04:14What are you scared of?
04:15Scared you'll sell me.
04:17You worth anything?
04:19A father who'd run from his debts.
04:21A mother who'd died from illness.
04:23A dirt poor home.
04:24All Rafe had left was his life.
04:26He had nothing to lose,
04:27so he never valued it or planned for the future.
04:29That was how he ended up in the mafia.
04:32Rafe choked on my question.
04:33You're in a cast,
04:35and there's no one at home to look after you.
04:37I'll worry.
04:39Stay at my place until it heals,
04:41then I'll let you go home.
04:43How do you know there's no one at my place?
04:47Because I have a crush on you.
04:49I've had my eye on you for ages.
04:50I even know what color underwear you wear,
04:52never mind what's going on at home.
04:55Then tell me,
04:56what color?
04:57Black.
04:59What the fuck?
05:02Rafe spent the whole ride thinking about that.
05:04After we got out of the car,
05:06he said coolly,
05:07Hey,
05:08I'm not interested in you.
05:09Don't waste your time on me.
05:11Oh.
05:12Then why didn't you pull away when I kissed you?
05:14You let me kiss you for that long.
05:15What, were you playing hard to get?
05:17I-
05:18Were my lips soft?
05:21You-
05:22Were they?
05:23That has nothing to do with whether your lips are soft.
05:25Stop changing the subject.
05:28Don't act like you got the short end of the deal.
05:30I kissed you,
05:31and you nearly lost it.
05:32Rafe stiffened.
05:33He pulled my hand away,
05:35rubbed my finger without thinking,
05:36and gritted out.
05:37Shut up.
05:39My father was away on business.
05:40I didn't have the servant prepare a guest room.
05:43I took Rafe straight to mine.
05:45While he showered,
05:46I leaned against the bathroom door
05:47and teased him through it.
05:48Hey,
05:49is your leg okay?
05:50Need help?
05:52The doctor said you can't get the clasp wet.
05:55Before I could finish speaking,
05:56a thud came from inside,
05:58followed by Rafe's muffled groan.
05:59My heart jumped,
06:01shoved the door open.
06:02Rafe?
06:04He braced himself against the wall and stood up,
06:07hurriedly covering himself with a towel.
06:09I'm fine.
06:10Just slipped.
06:11Rafe was nearly completely exposed to me.
06:14At 18,
06:14he wasn't as built as he would be at 30,
06:16but he was still solid.
06:18Broad frame,
06:19well proportioned,
06:20good muscle definition.
06:21His tan skin was marked with scars,
06:23some deep,
06:24some faint.
06:25Over the years,
06:26I kissed those scars more than once.
06:28I hated seeing every one of them.
06:30Luckily,
06:30Rafe was only 18.
06:31I still had time to put a collar on this wild dog
06:34who didn't value his own life.
06:35I shut the door and walked over,
06:37standing in front of Rafe.
06:41Who told you to come in?
06:42I can-
06:43Rafe,
06:43put your hand on my shoulder.
06:44I'll hold you up.
06:45No!
06:46Stubborn mule.
06:47I put his arm over my shoulder
06:48and turned on the water.
06:49Keeping his injured leg dry,
06:51I washed him.
06:52Rafe,
06:52I don't like seeing you hurt.
06:54Don't get hurt again.
06:57If you're going to wash me,
06:58wash me properly.
07:00Stop trying to seduce me.
07:02Hm?
07:03I looked down.
07:04Rafe immediately covered my eyes with his hand.
07:07I was dying laughing inside.
07:10I tapped his firm stomach with a shower head in.
07:13Didn't you say you weren't into me?
07:15I barely touched you and you're already like this.
07:18Looks like your body disagrees.
07:21Pretty into me, huh?
07:22Rafe wouldn't look at me.
07:23He lowered his head,
07:24rested his forehead against my shoulder.
07:27Stop talking.
07:28Rafe was ridiculously innocent at 18.
07:30If I kept teasing him,
07:31he might actually explode.
07:33Want me to help?
07:34His breathing got heavier.
07:36Beg me.
07:37And I will.
07:39Rafe didn't move or say a word.
07:41Fine.
07:42We had time.
07:43I shifted,
07:44meaning to push him away.
07:45Maybe he thought I was leaving.
07:46Rafe suddenly grabbed my wrist.
07:48His arm slid around my neck,
07:49pulling me against him
07:50as he leaned his weight on me.
07:52Please.
07:54That shower took two hours.
07:56I made Rafe share my bed.
07:57I'd just worn him out,
07:58so he didn't object.
07:59The bed was huge.
08:00We each took a side.
08:02After a while,
08:03Rafe,
08:03if I hold you while we sleep,
08:05will you hit me?
08:07Yes.
08:07I laughed,
08:08turned onto my side,
08:09and wrapped my arms around him from behind.
08:11His body stiffened,
08:12but didn't move.
08:13I slowly tightened my arms.
08:15Tighter.
08:16Then tighter.
08:17This way,
08:17he couldn't run.
08:18He wouldn't leave me behind.
08:19When I was 25,
08:21my father went bankrupt.
08:22He jumped from the roof of his company building
08:24and left me his body in a mountain of debt.
08:26To pay it off,
08:27I borrowed money everywhere.
08:28Pride and dignity stopped mattering.
08:29At drinking parties,
08:31I drank and smiled along
08:32until they got me so drunk
08:33I could barely stay conscious.
08:35Rafe was at one of those dinners.
08:37After dinner,
08:37I was throwing up against a tree by the curb.
08:39He handed me a bottle of water.
08:41You need money?
08:45Badly.
08:46Would you be my fake girlfriend for it?
08:48That costs extra.
08:50Lucky me.
08:51Money's the one thing I have.
08:53Funny how that worked out.
08:54Rafe paid my debts.
08:55I became Rafe's fake girlfriend
08:56for 10 years
08:57until Rafe was killed.
09:01Before he died,
09:02he left me a large sum of money.
09:04Cecily,
09:04don't fake date anyone for money again.
09:06You might end up with a scumbag.
09:08The last time I saw Rafe
09:09was in a video his enemies sent me.
09:11He smiled with eyes turned red.
09:12Regret it.
09:13If I'd known I'd meet you,
09:15I would have left the mafia early,
09:16kept my hands clean.
09:18Maybe God would have let me grow old.
09:22Cecily,
09:22I worry.
09:23He never said what he worried about.
09:26Cecily,
09:26live well.
09:27His fingertips slid over the lens
09:29as if he were wiping away my tears.
09:32Idiot.
09:3310 years as a secret mistress
09:34and you still caught feelings?
09:36Pathetic.
09:37He smiled.
09:39Don't cry for me.
09:40A man like me isn't worth it.
09:42Whether he was worth it
09:44wasn't Rafe's call.
09:46And Rafe wasn't much worth in me.
09:48He kept a pair of rings
09:49tucked against his chest
09:50and never dared take them out
09:52before he died.
09:53In his second life,
09:54I had only one wish,
09:55that Rafe stay alive.
09:57I had to save him.
09:58I'd keep Rafe away from the mafia
10:00and the fate that got him killed.
10:03If he didn't value his life I would.
10:05If he wouldn't plan for the future,
10:06I would.
10:07Kicking and screaming,
10:08I'd drag him out of the abyss
10:10and force him back onto the right path.
10:12I always remembered the regret
10:13he confessed before he died.
10:15He hadn't only started regretting it at the end.
10:18He'd regretted it long before.
10:20He just couldn't say it while he was alive.
10:22Only when death was right in front of him
10:24could he finally admit it.
10:26Rafe loved hearing about my college years.
10:28He said he'd never gone to college.
10:30He said he'd taken the wrong road
10:31at the very start
10:32and later there was no turning back.
10:35Who doesn't want a clean life?
10:36But not everyone gets one.
10:38Sometimes you have to survive first
10:39and worry about clean hands later.
10:42Cecily, when I was young
10:43no one told me what to do.
10:44No one told me which way to go.
10:46This time, I'd hold his hand.
10:47I would tell him which way to go.
10:49Everything he wanted in his last life
10:51but never got everything he wanted to do
10:53but never could.
10:54I'd help him have it.
10:56After taking Rafe in,
10:58I secretly transferred to Ridgeway High.
11:00I walked into class around noon.
11:02The teacher was talking up front.
11:03Rafe slept with his head buried in his arms.
11:05He sat alone in the seat by the trash can.
11:07I quietly walked over,
11:09dropped my bag beside him
11:10and pulled a textbook from his desk.
11:12I opened it.
11:13Wow, cleaner than my face.
11:15He hadn't even written his name.
11:16When the bell rang and the teacher left,
11:19I kicked Rafe's chair.
11:20Hard enough to silence the whole room.
11:21Jack, the chubby kid in front of him,
11:23jumped back and watched warily
11:24as Rafe woke up.
11:25New girl, you should probably run now.
11:28You might not make it out alive otherwise.
11:30Rap really was famous for his temper.
11:31I smiled politely.
11:32Thanks for the warning.
11:38Fuck off.
11:40Then he turned the other way
11:41and tried to go back to sleep.
11:42I caught the book.
11:43Kicked again.
11:44Fuck, are you ever gonna stop?
11:46Rafe finally bothered to sit up
11:47and looked at me with a cold face
11:49and went silent.
11:50He stared for a long moment,
11:52leaned back against the wall
11:53and rubbed his face.
11:54Not awake.
11:55Awake now?
11:59The bell rang for the next class.
12:01Why are you here?
12:02I transferred.
12:03Why?
12:03Your old school was better.
12:05Ridgewood sucks.
12:06To chase you.
12:07What?
12:07I transferred here to chase you.
12:09I fucking hate people
12:10who lose their minds over a crush.
12:12Cecily, go back to your old school.
12:15The English teacher finally snapped.
12:16Balani, take your new girlfriend outside
12:18if you two need me to flirt that badly.
12:20I silently covered my face.
12:21God, of, so embarrassing.
12:24The English teacher made me famous with one shout.
12:26From then on, I lost my name
12:28and became the wild new girl who made out with Rafe.
12:30By the third time, I dragged Rafe out of sleep
12:31and forced him to study.
12:33Jack's look had gone from horror to admiration.
12:35He secretly gave me a thumbs up.
12:37Ceci, respect.
12:39Meanwhile, Rafe looked ready to explode.
12:41I pointed at his textbook.
12:42Here, write down.
12:44Just because you have a crush on me
12:45doesn't mean you get to do whatever you want.
12:47Right.
12:48Don't make me kiss you
12:49in the middle of this sacred classroom.
12:51I tortured him all afternoon.
12:53The second the final bell rang,
12:55he jumped up and limped to the door.
12:56I caught the hem of his shirt.
12:59Where are you going?
13:03Bathroom.
13:03Come on.
13:04One leg's still messed up.
13:06I'll help you.
13:07You'll help me?
13:08Sure.
13:09I froze for a second, then I got it.
13:10I laughed.
13:11Little asshole.
13:12He'd been filthy-minded from the start.
13:14Still, he was all talk.
13:15The second I reached for his waistband
13:17like I was actually going to help,
13:19Rafe grabbed my hand.
13:20Fuck.
13:20You're serious?
13:22Okay, okay.
13:23My bad, boss.
13:24I can handle it myself.
13:26Wouldn't want to get your hand dirty.
13:2930 VAB words every night?
13:31And I'll let you off this time.
13:33I'd advise you not to push your luck.
13:35My hand moved lower.
13:36Rafe pressed my hand down hard.
13:38Fine.
13:39I'll do it.
13:42For the next two weeks, I kept Rafe on a schedule.
13:45Study during the day, vocabulary at night.
13:48I even made him a full study plan.
13:51Rafe had been running wild for years, making him sit still, and study was practically torture.
13:56Sometimes I pushed him too far, and he'd slam the book down and start making threats.
14:00I'd pin him down and kiss him until he gave in.
14:03Rafe was big enough to throw me across the room, yet he let me pin him to the bed and
14:07kiss
14:08him breathless.
14:09I sprawled over him like I owned a place.
14:11No studying.
14:12Then you get kissed.
14:13Rafe covered his eyes with one arm.
14:15The other stayed around my waist like he was afraid I'd fall.
14:19Cecily, what are you really trying to do?
14:21I listened to the strong, steady beat of his heart feeling safe.
14:24I hugged him tighter.
14:26Rafe, have you ever thought about your future?
14:28Let's get out of here.
14:29Let's go to the same college, okay?
14:32College together.
14:33Start a business together.
14:34Grow old together.
14:35This time, we'd hold each other up.
14:37Neither of us was allowed to leave first.
14:39Okay.
14:40Rafe said nothing.
14:42Rafe went a full month without fighting, causing trouble, skipping class, or leaving
14:46school early.
14:47On the next exam, he went from dead last to eighth from the bottom.
14:51He'd started saying hello to teachers, although I made him.
14:54His homeroom teacher grabbed my hands, nearly in tears.
14:57Cecily, I should give you a peacekeeping medal.
15:01Please don't.
15:02And on the exact day I supposedly earned my medal, Rafe skipped school.
15:06I looked for him half the day.
15:08Finally, I found him at the entrance to an alley near his house.
15:10His cast was already off.
15:12He was dragging a metal pipe behind him as he walked towards six older guys across the
15:16street.
15:16Cocky as hell.
15:17Fuck.
15:18Six on one.
15:19Did he have a death wish?
15:20I grabbed a brick and ran over.
15:22When I caught up, I looked at him through clenched teeth.
15:25I told you to call me if you were gonna fight.
15:27Did you think I was fucking joking?
15:28Rafe paused.
15:30Then he swore, dropped the pipe, grabbed my wrist, and ran.
15:33The guys behind us cursed and chased.
15:35Are you fucking stupid?
15:36Who told you to come here?
15:38I was too out of breath to answer.
15:39We cut through several streets before finally losing them.
15:42Raph finally let go of me.
15:44My heart felt like it was about to burst.
15:46I bent over, hands on my knees, trying to breathe.
15:49Raph looked at me once, turned, and walked away.
15:52I grabbed his wrist and stared hard at him.
15:54Where are you going?
15:56Come back to school with me.
15:57His back stayed toward me.
15:59Quiet for a few seconds.
16:01Let go of me.
16:04Cecily, it's been a month.
16:06Aren't you bored yet?
16:07What did you say?
16:08Nothing lasts forever.
16:10When you've had enough, go back where you came from.
16:12I'm busy.
16:13I don't have time for your rescue act.
16:17You think everything I've done was some fucking game?
16:20You bastard!
16:22What else would it be?
16:23What else?
16:24I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't.
16:26You think I had nothing better to do than come to this dump and play games with an asshole like
16:30you?
16:30I'm fucking insane!
16:32So I run around taking care of you every time you get hurt?
16:34I'm pathetic enough to stay up making study plans and organizing notes for you?
16:39A game?
16:40I'm giving you everything I have and you think I'm playing?
16:43Rafe, even if you're deaf and somehow missed every time I said I liked you, you're not blind.
16:47I've put my heart right in front of you.
16:49You still can't see it?
16:51Cecily, do you think you're some great romantic hero right now?
16:54Stop being so moved by your own bullshit.
16:59What did you say?
17:00I said this is all in your head.
17:01You keep forcing your expectations on me without ever asking if I want any of it.
17:05Study hard, be a good kid.
17:07Fuck that.
17:08If you like straight A good boys so much, go find one.
17:11Why do you have to come fix me?
17:12You're making both of us miserable.
17:14I've been like this for years.
17:16I'm fine.
17:17I don't want to change.
17:18This is who I am.
17:19I'm trash.
17:20A piece of shit.
17:21I'm bad at school.
17:23And I'm not getting better.
17:24I can't go to some fancy college with you.
17:26Don't have a future.
17:27Cecily, I'm not who you think I am.
17:29I can't stand beside you like we're equals.
17:32Sooner or later, you'll be disappointed.
17:34I heard you arguing with your dad on the phone.
17:36He's right.
17:37Ridgway's a dump.
17:38You don't belong here.
17:39You should go back to your old school.
17:41You and me not from the same world.
17:45Rafe had heard Cecily arguing with her father on the phone.
17:48Afterward, he smoked three cigarettes in the bathroom.
17:51Graham Pembroke was right.
17:52Ridgway was a dump, but Cecily was brilliant.
17:55Staying at Ridgway was wrecking her future.
17:57Running around with him was worse.
17:59He should have driven her away the first day she transferred.
18:02Rafe knew a hundred ways to make a sheltered rich girl give up.
18:04He never used a single one.
18:06Whenever Cecily came over all eager and kissed him,
18:09Rafe's brain stopped working.
18:11Rafe really was afraid of her kisses.
18:13Not because he didn't want them.
18:14Because he wanted them too much.
18:16Enough for ugly thoughts to start growing.
18:18He wanted to keep her.
18:20Lock her down.
18:21Make sure that even if she changed her mind one day, she couldn't leave.
18:24The day Cecily held him and said they should go to the same college.
18:27Every drop of blood in his body had burned.
18:29For an entire month, he forgot what kind of person he was.
18:32He studied.
18:33He actually let himself imagine getting into the same college as Cecily.
18:36Until the men collecting his father's debt came back.
18:39The scarred guy eating them said,
18:41That rich girl you've been hanging around with has money, right?
18:44Ask her for some.
18:46It was like ice water over his head.
18:47He had only one thought.
18:49He couldn't let those scumbags set their sights on Cecily.
18:52His life was cheap.
18:53If it got ruined, so what?
18:55But Cecily was beautiful, clean, and had her whole life ahead of her.
18:58If they ruined her, it would kill him.
19:01Rafe hated everything.
19:02His fate, his shitty father, and himself.
19:04Why couldn't he learn?
19:05A girl like Cecily, how did he ever dare want her?
19:08What made him think he deserved her?
19:12Rafe could be vicious with his words.
19:14He'd tear me apart and tear himself down right along with me.
19:17I lost my temper and hit him.
19:19I grabbed him and punched him three times in the stomach.
19:22Rafe frowned, but didn't hit back once.
19:24I was furious, straight up bit his jaw.
19:26I'll go to whatever school I want.
19:29You don't get a vote.
19:30And whether we're from the same world isn't your decision either.
19:34I stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.
19:36Rafe tried to dodge.
19:38I slapped him.
19:39He behaved.
19:40Then he stood there like a body, and let me kiss him.
19:43The more kissing, the angrier I got.
19:45His face was cold, but his body was burning.
19:47Fake bastard.
19:49Onside bented enough.
19:50I finally calmed down.
19:51I held his shoulders and forced my temper down.
19:54Talk to me properly.
19:56What happened?
19:57If Rafe said he didn't like me, I wouldn't believe a word.
20:00Didn't I know him?
20:01I was exactly his type.
20:05As 30-year-old Rafe once put it,
20:07Every part of you is made for me.
20:09If Rafe didn't like me, then there was no one in the world he liked.
20:12That confidence came from him.
20:14For 10 years, the older Rafe practically wanted to rip out his heart and hand it to me to play
20:19with.
20:19And for the past month, Rafe had been completely under my thumb.
20:23Sometimes studying had him baring his teeth, a couple of kisses, and he'd stop bristling.
20:27Something had happened.
20:29Otherwise, Rafe would never be acting this strange, trying this hard to push me away.
20:33I thought if he told me what it was, we can solve it.
20:36But Rafe didn't agree.
20:38Done losing your mind?
20:39Then he pushed me away and fixed his wrinkled shirt.
20:43If you want to stay at Ridgeway, stay.
20:45You're right.
20:46I can't control you.
20:47His eyes pulled.
20:48But you don't get to control me either.
20:53Rafe didn't go to school for a week.
20:55His message was clear.
20:57As long as I stayed, he wouldn't come back.
20:59Before I could figure out what to do, my father came home from a business trip.
21:03We got into a fight over my transfer.
21:05I threw in.
21:06Stop worrying about me and check your company's books.
21:10You don't know a damn thing about my company.
21:12Worry about yourself.
21:13You've pissed off plenty of people doing business over the years.
21:17You're always chasing the next deal.
21:19When was the last time you actually checked the accounts?
21:21Small problems turn into big ones.
21:23I'm only telling you to check.
21:25It won't kill you.
21:26You worry about a lot these days.
21:28At least he'd heard me.
21:29I relaxed a little.
21:31I'd been afraid he wouldn't take me seriously.
21:33That my word carried no weight.
21:35I brought it up a few more times.
21:37Eventually father checked.
21:38And he actually found something.
21:40He suddenly had plenty to keep him busy.
21:42Hopefully this time he wouldn't manage to bankrupt himself.
21:45He still had seven years before bankruptcy happened in my last life.
21:49But this time, I was going to make sure history didn't repeat itself.
21:53I just didn't know that fate was already waiting for me.
21:58It's pointing us to blame my mom's fault.
21:58I shouldn't shake it withssä.
