00:01I died before my wedding my fiance Alex and my best friend Lily shoved my car
00:06off the sea cliff north of end city I'm Chloe's insurance beneficiary when she's
00:10dead we get the payout then make sure she's really dead
00:19at my funeral they were making out beside my coffin talking about how to
00:23spend my insurance payout but they got sloppy my stepbrother who isn't related
00:28to me by blood was insane while everyone else celebrated my death Victor
00:33Marati hunted them down like a madman and brought their heads to my grave
00:38sweetheart don't be scared I'm right here
00:45when I opened my eyes again I realized I'd been reborn back to that stormy night
00:49when Alex talked me into drugging Victor Chloe this stuff could knock out a full
00:53grown grizzly slip it into Victor's water he'd never suspect you once he's out
00:58I'll get you out tonight okay it was the same park it last time I believed Alex's
01:02lies and drugged Victor so I could run away with him Alex was still waiting for
01:06my answer but I couldn't even look at him my eyes were on Victor behind him what
01:10was Victor supposed to be guilty of loving me too much come here sweetheart
01:19by the time I realized I'd really come back Victor had already dragged me home he
01:25couldn't find a rope so he tore off his silk tie instead put your hands out
01:41that's how it started last time Victor and I broke apart little by little back then
01:46I was crazy about Alex I had no idea he was already with Lily they'd plan from the start
01:52to kill me and take my insurance payout but I was obsessed with Alex I wouldn't listen to anyone
01:59Victor kept trying to stop me he told me Alex was no good I thought he was just trying to
02:04control
02:04my life I lost my head and said the cruelest things I could Victor you're sick you locked up your
02:13own
02:13sister know why the neighbors avoid you because you're a monster I hate you why did you have to be
02:21my brother I don't want you anymore I still remember how empty Victor's eyes looked that day
02:26but this time I didn't fight him I wanted his touch Victor was still the same saying he could
02:31kill me but too careful to leave a mark Victor beg for Alex again and I'll kill him he looked
02:38like
02:38his mother beautiful almost flawless but he always seemed like he was one hit from breaking to feed me
02:43he fought in the underground fight ring till he was covered in blood I wasn't begging for him
02:50last time even his touch made me sick but the second I reached for him he froze for a full
02:55two seconds
02:56dinner's cod seafood chowder eat and go to bed that was my favorite my brother really was a deranged
03:04control freak but was he wrong he just didn't know how to love me the right way when I came
03:13back to
03:13myself I was already on a bar stool and Victor was cooking for me in the open kitchen
03:20why aren't you making a fuss Victor's voice didn't used to sound like this
03:26he fought his way through the underworld to raise me and ruined his throat doing it
03:32you don't have to tie me up Victor I'm not running again I wanted to stay with him and slowly
03:38heal what
03:38I broke him but Victor didn't believe me I lied to him too many times I destroyed his trust
03:46the hard way didn't work so now you're trying soft don't bother you're not going anywhere tonight
03:53Victor my wrist really hurts
03:57he thought I was trying to trick him into letting me go again but he didn't know that no matter
04:00how
04:01many times we started over he could never resist it when I went soft on him
04:04where does it hurt here do we need to go to the hospital I didn't mean to hurt you
04:09he wanted to touch me but he didn't dare I'd once screamed at him not to and after that whenever
04:14I
04:14got upset he wouldn't come any closer everyone else feared him with me he was careful like a kid
04:19who'd done something wrong I took his hand and ran my fingers through his soft black hair
04:22Victor went still staring at me in shock Victor this time I'll protect you
04:30I mean it I got a second chance Alex and that fake friend Lily
04:33neither of them gets to walk away why should they get to stain Victor's hand after I died
04:39Chloe didn't I tell you yesterday to drug your brother what's taking so long in my last life
04:44I was addicted to Alex so he always treated me like he owned me if you don't knock your brother
04:48out tonight I'm not taking you with me last time I did what he said I drugged Victor myself
04:54he was on the floor eyes bloodshot still trying to keep me from leaving
05:00don't go come back they're dangerous trust me I wouldn't lie to you not even if I were dying
05:08but back then I thought he was just a control freak who wanted to lock me in that room
05:13Alex thought threatening to leave me behind would make me panic in cave not this time
05:16this won't kill my brother will he right then my so-called best friend Lily showed up
05:20what a surprise babe it's simple just watch the dose he only needs to pass out
05:24besides Victor's trash he deserve it deserved it does a man who deserves to die hunt down
05:28the two people who killed me no matter where they run does he drag a crippled leg behind
05:31him just to avenge the sister who never trusted him I wanted to rip them apart right there but
05:35not yet first I need proof of the illegal drug ring and the insurance fraud fine I'll take care
05:39of it tonight they thought I was still the idiot they could play they had no idea my revenge
05:46started right then I pushed open the front door and the second I stepped inside Victor yanked
05:53me into his arms you went to see Alex again Victor I was shut up his rough knuckles brushed
06:00my shoulder blade and I shivered but this time I didn't pull away Victor was like a mad dog
06:05guarding a rag doll making sure I was still his you're burning up why didn't you go to the hospital
06:12he was burning up paler than usual he felt awful but he still wouldn't let me go you said you'd
06:18be
06:18back at six I had to wait for you it was already past nine chasing Alex I'd forgotten my promise
06:25this idiot was burning up and still insisted on waiting for me lie down don't move I'm making
06:31dinner Victor looked at me like he'd never seen anything crazier in both my lifetimes this was the
06:35first time I'd ever made him dinner I can cook in my last life made Alex something different every day
06:40just to please him but I always brushed Victor off years later I found out this psycho had kept even
06:45half a piece of my leftover bread are you gonna eat or not I looked at his full farm and
06:53still
06:53couldn't reconcile the man quietly drinking soup with the madman who chopped off my enemy's head
06:57for me in my last life Victor have you ever thought about our future I'm graduating soon we could sell
07:01this house and move to the west coast I want to open a flower shop there back then every future
07:07I
07:07imagined left him out even though he was the one who raised me and gave up everything for me
07:14what are you really trying to say the west coast a flower shop so it'll be easier for you to
07:17run
07:18don't lie to me Chloe you know the first thing you do in a new place is leave me he
07:21was telling
07:21the truth in my last life I would have done exactly that to Victor I was a snake luring him
07:26into poison
07:26then running the second he broke then how do I prove it
07:32the second I said it the room looked dark I stumbled into Victor's burning chest his hand
07:37clamping tight at my lower back he was burning up his lips his fingers at my neck all of him
07:43his kiss left my tongue nearly numb as his mouth moved from my eyes to my ear he probably never
07:49thought
07:50I'd grab his collar and kiss him back then prove it don't leave your brother I put away the last
07:56dish
07:56and my heart was still racing I know what Victor feels for me isn't just family we were never
08:02blood related but I still don't know how to face what just happened
08:10want some I always drink milk before bed his lip mark was still on the rim I didn't hesitate
08:17I drank from the same spot you need more practice kissing believe me now I'm not running see I've
08:26opened myself up to you but Victor just stared at me cold and my head went heavy my vision blurred
08:32the
08:32milk but you shouldn't have left the drug so close to the top of your bag it fell out you
08:40almost killed
08:40me damn it I kept the sedative Lily gave me so I could get it tested it was evidence from
08:47their
08:47illegal drug ring but Victor thought I was trying to poison him
09:00do you hate your brother that much I fell for it once
09:06you thought I'd fall for it again my head was spinning something was tight around my neck
09:13I couldn't move Victor had tied me up again Victor you have to let me explain
09:23he had my chin in a brutal grip his fingers slowly brushing behind my ear shut up
09:40choking so who was it that needed kissing lessons he was still angry he thought I'd lied to him I
09:45hadn't you just don't believe me Alex gave me the drug he wanted me to knock you out
09:51I only took it so I could have it tested at a top private hospital the second I said it
09:56I knew he'd
09:57hear it as an excuse to someone like him explanations sound like lies I'd given him every reason to
10:03think that before right you were getting it tested not trying to poison me what Chloe you're gonna tell
10:13me you did all this for me but did you ever love me at all there was panic in his
10:17eyes and his grip
10:18kept tightening I could feel it if I didn't stop him now he'd swallow me whole so I surged up
10:24and kissed
10:25Victor hard his lips were soft then he lost it my head hit the mattress but he caught it with
10:32his hand the bed dimmed under us I kissed him back found his fingers and laced mine through them
10:40you're gonna kill me I owe you so much in my last life I don't know if I can heal
10:45him in this one
10:46but I can promise him this I'll stay and ruin us both till death
10:53Victor's cooking is seriously good
10:57if my hands weren't tied and he was feeding me like this it tastes even better
11:02Victor
11:05Chloe last time you got this sweet with me you almost sent me to the police house
11:11he said it like it was nothing under the table I brushed my leg against Victor's calf
11:17he went stitted face burning hot Victor do you believe in fate I dreamed the future last night
11:24I married Alex you broke your leg then Alex and Lily killed me and you still hunted them down
11:34so yeah I really hate Alex right now I held his gaze and meant every word but his face gave
11:42me nothing
11:44his eyes were beautiful and bottomless and I couldn't read him at all
11:52oh yeah funny I had a dream too in it my little sister would do anything to get away from
12:00her brother
12:01so she spun a pretty lie and had him fooled out of his mind
12:07then you left me
12:16for a second I thought he'd come back too
12:20that's exactly how I played him right before I drugged him last time
12:26then fine brother
12:27brother however you treat me I'll take it
12:31I swore this would be the last time I lied to Victor
12:33to get out of his lockdown and see Alex
12:36I had to do this to myself
12:37made the shower freezing
12:39then blasted my head with cold air
12:41until the chill hit hard
12:46I caught him off guard
12:47but he still grabbed me on instinct and held me tight
12:51go to sleep
12:57brother I've been so good to you and you don't like it
13:01you're the one pushing me away
13:03look at you
13:05pushing your own sister
13:09that familiar grip closed around the back of my neck
13:11and his mouth cut me off
13:13everything I wanted to say died in my throat
13:16he didn't want me talking again
13:21you've been acting strange lately Chloe
13:23I'm afraid it's a trap
13:27but you know what
13:29even if you dug a pit in front of me
13:31smiled and told me to jump
13:34I would
13:36in the middle of the night
13:38I felt so awful I couldn't sleep
13:45I forced myself up and knocked on Victor's door
13:54Victor
13:56I think I have a fever
14:02hospital
14:02he was shaking
14:04he always loses it over me
14:06he's too perfect
14:07so God gave him one fatal weakness
14:09me
14:11in the car
14:12I leaned against Victor's shoulder
14:16I was freezing
14:18so I held on tight
14:22you still feel awful?
14:24we're almost there
14:26he was scared I'd fried my brain
14:29I wanted to tell him I was fine
14:31that I did this on purpose
14:33but I couldn't face him once he knew the truth
14:36you
14:41sweetheart
14:41I need to pay
14:42I'll be right back
14:44once they get the IV in you'll feel better
14:46I looked at him and nodded
14:49he tugged my collar
14:50kissed the corner of my mouth
14:52and went to pay
14:54I watched him hurry away
14:56he really was trying to get back to me
15:00I'm sorry Victor
15:07Victor
15:07I wanted a whole life with Victor
15:09I wanted a whole life with Victor
15:10maybe one day he'd believe I really loved him
15:11but I was out of time
15:12before Alex moved the illegal drug lab
15:15I needed proof
15:17hello?
15:18you got out?
15:19yeah, he's hard to shake
15:20he took the drugs
15:21can you get me another batch?
15:22don't worry, this time it'll work
15:24to keep Alex from suspecting me
15:26I had to act like I hated Victor
15:28something was off
15:29he sounded like he was using a voice
15:30that meant he was starting to doubt me
15:32why should I trust you?
15:34you need to prove your brother didn't turn you
15:36my brother?
15:37I can't even stand looking at him
15:39he's just a dog that won't stop clinging to me
15:42the day he dies, I'll set off fireworks
15:45as if
15:46I was lying
15:47the line went quiet for a long time
15:49then he finally gave me an address
15:51the abandoned warehouse in N-City's 8th district
15:53be careful
15:54Alex and Lily were definitely into something illegal
15:56I even suspected they'd pulled insurance fraud
15:59before they met me
16:01so I turned on my voice recorder app
16:03then I looked down at my phone
16:0445 missed calls
16:06all from Victor
16:07I regretted it the second I left the hospital
16:09I couldn't stop thinking about Victor
16:11I didn't want to lie to him anymore
16:14once I had the evidence
16:15I'd go back and tell him the truth
16:24the one tied up was...
16:25Alex?
16:26then who was I just talking to?
16:31that's when it hit me
16:32Victor had Alex tied up
16:33he went straight to the source
16:35that's why he used a voice changer
16:36the man on the phone wasn't Alex
16:38it was Victor
16:39what the hell did I just say to him?
16:40he's just a dog that won't stop clinging to me
16:43so if I die
16:44you celebrate with fireworks
16:47I'm screwed
16:50the sunrise drew a hard line between Victor and me
16:53I just stood there throat dry
16:56Victor
16:59gonna beg for him?
17:01Chloe!
17:02Alex was scared out of his mind
17:04such a coward
17:05why did I ever think he could get me away from Victor?
17:08Victor listen
17:09I'm not on his side
17:10but we're not doing this
17:12so you are begging for him after all
17:14this Victor felt like a stranger
17:15I wanted to tell him I did it all for the evidence
17:18but he wouldn't believe me
17:19just like last time
17:20the more I explained
17:21the worse it went
17:22until whatever held us together
17:24finally snapped
17:25I thought he'd blow up
17:26drag me home
17:27and make me pay
17:27but he did nothing
17:28and the calmer he got
17:30the more terrified I was
17:32sweetheart do you know that?
17:33I love you
17:34I'm scared of a lot of things
17:35and every one of them is about you
17:37I'm scared you'll get hurt
17:38scared you'll go bad
17:39and most of all
17:40scared you'll leave
17:43for days I kept thinking
17:45how much do you have to hate me
17:47to hurt yourself just to get away from me
17:50then I finally got it
17:51no matter how hard I held on
17:53you'd still leave
17:54so I won't stop you anymore
17:57go be with him then
17:58go to the hospital
17:59I won't take you
18:00it took me a long time to realize it
18:03Victor didn't want me anymore
18:05Chloe, I knew you still had feelings for me
18:07your brother's a psycho
18:09untie me and we'll call the cops on him right now
18:15Chloe
18:16who was he calling we?
18:18Alex is in illegal business himself
18:20he'd never call the cops
18:22I only hesitated for two seconds
18:24then left him there and ran after Victor
18:27my whole life
18:28Victor was always the one chasing after me
18:30trying to make it right
18:31now that he won't answer my calls
18:34I finally know how much it hurts to be the one left behind
18:36I typed out a long text
18:38then realized I didn't even know where to start
18:41so I deleted it
18:42maybe Victor really did rub off on me
18:44when I can't see him
18:46he's all I think about
18:47I finally found Victor
18:49and there he was in the convenience store
18:51smiling at some other girl
18:54the second I saw it
18:55it felt like someone squeezed my heart
18:59move
18:59the way he looked at me
19:00was no different than a stranger
19:05Victor
19:09hey don't cry I was wrong
19:11this is on me
19:12please don't cry okay
19:13I grew up without a mom or dad
19:15now you're leaving me too
19:17Victor how could you be this cruel?
19:19okay it's all my fault
19:22you're really gonna be the death of me
19:23don't cry I'm not leaving you
19:25it wasn't until I couldn't breathe through my nose
19:27that I remembered I still had a fever
19:30I'd been pushing myself all night
19:32and I hadn't even finished half the IV
19:36Chloe
19:37Chloe?
19:39right before I blacked out
19:41the last thing I heard was Victor calling my name in a panic
19:44when I woke up
19:45he'd covered my eyes again
19:47I couldn't see
19:49and every touch felt sharper
19:51the hand on my forehead was rough with calories
19:54it was Victor
19:56Victor?
19:59why'd you cover my eyes?
20:01because you're being punished
20:02everything was black
20:03all I could do was feel his breath
20:05the silk around my wrists didn't hurt
20:07but my chest ached
20:09Victor? I was wrong
20:11about what?
20:12I shouldn't have lied to you
20:14I shouldn't have kept seeing Alex
20:16but I went to them because I wanted to
20:19no
20:20that's not why I'm mad
20:22you made yourself sick on purpose
20:24Chloe you hurt yourself because of me
20:25and it makes me want to die
20:26other people have family, friends, a future
20:29in my world there's only you
20:31so don't do this to me again
20:33don't put me through this okay?
20:35put a knife to my throat
20:36break my legs
20:38I'll take it
20:38but when you're sick
20:39when you're hurting
20:40what am I supposed to do?
20:42I'm losing my mind
20:44so please take it out on me
20:45don't hurt yourself again
20:47Victor had always been like this
20:48no matter how torn up he was
20:50he'd hold me first
20:52but I love you too, Victor
20:54you need to trust me more
20:55I love you too
20:56the second I said it
20:58I felt Victor go still
21:00then I instantly regretted it
21:01because he completely snapped
21:03his kiss landed over my heart
21:06possessive and ravenous
21:07I used to be terrified of the dark
21:09of falling into a bottomless abyss
21:12but if Victor was the abyss
21:14I was willing to fall
21:16Victor...
21:18you said Victor was your dog
21:22then what is this dog doing to you right now?
21:25usually, it's the little sister clinging to her brother
21:28in this house, it's Victor clinging on me like an octopus
21:37Victor, after everything you said last night
21:39I thought you'd go a little easier on me
21:41sorry, I couldn't help myself
21:43he didn't sound sorry at all
21:45want me to make it up to you?
21:50s...tish...
21:51take it
21:56I didn't even get to admire my work before he pulled me right back in
22:00lesson learned
22:01never tease a vindictive lunatic in bed
22:05I was fine
22:07but Victor's fever got worse after last night
22:09honestly, he brought it on himself
22:14should we go to the hospital?
22:17we're fine
22:23Alex is probably tied to the illegal drug lab at the port
22:26I had people looking into him before you made your move
22:29problem is, we're still missing a few key pieces of evidence
22:34Victor had been tracking Alex through the illegal drug ring
22:38but...
22:38I knew Alex and Lily were into something even worse
22:41I think Alex and Lily have been running an insurance fraud scheme
22:45Lily got close to me first
22:47then brought Alex to me
22:50he chased me
22:51married me, killed me, and took the insurance payout
22:55they've probably done this before
22:57and Alex and Lily might not even be their real names
23:01what, you wanna play detective now?
23:03of course he was good at it
23:05we only had enough money for one of us to go to college
23:08so Victor gave that chance to me
23:11he survived in End City's underworld
23:13by digging up dirt
23:14and fighting in the underground fight ring
23:20thanks for being on my side
23:23I always was
23:24and this time, I'm not leaving you again
23:27idiot
23:29Victor followed the fake identities and insurance fraud records
23:33and found Alex and Lily's earlier victims
23:36once the police got the evidence
23:37they were arrested along with the illegal drug ring behind them
23:41winter passed just like that
23:44this was my last tutoring job before I graduated
23:48with a girl who lived nearby
23:52Chloe, is the guy outside your boyfriend?
23:57focus on your work
24:00after winter
24:01things slowly started feeling normal again
24:03I was almost done with college
24:05Alex and Lily were still waiting for trial
24:08and Victor was still outside
24:10waiting for me
24:11like we'd really change the ending this time
24:15careful
24:22remember the town we used to live in?
24:25what is it?
24:27the detective who worked your adoptive parents disappearance
24:29got transferred to End City
24:31I ran into him a few days ago when I turned in Alex's evidence
24:34it's okay
24:35he probably just wants to thank me
24:39ten years had passed
24:41he looked older than I remembered
24:42but the way he looked at us
24:43still felt like he could see through every secret we had
24:47long time no see
24:48you two are still as close as ever
24:49it's been ten years hadn't it?
24:51back when I was looking into your adoptive parents disappearance
24:54Chloe was still in school
24:55I was just a rookie back then
24:58never did solve that case
24:59weren't you here to thank me?
25:02for the tip that helped us catch Alex and his crew
25:05the case goes to trial next week
25:06you can sit in if you want
25:09but after all this time
25:11have either of you remembered anything new
25:13about your adoptive parents?
25:18the water's boiling I'll make you some tea
25:20my heart was pounding
25:21this never happened before
25:24why bring that case back now?
25:26did changing Alex's tate change everything else too?
25:29after your adoptive parents disappeared
25:31why weren't you and Chloe worried?
25:34you think they're still alive somewhere?
25:36or dead?
25:37I think they're dead
25:38why?
25:39if that gambling drunk were alive
25:40he'd tear this house apart
25:41and sell off anything he could to pay his debts
25:44if that woman were alive
25:45she'd pull Chloe out of school
25:47and sell her to the highest bidder
25:48so whether they're alive or not
25:50I hope they're dead
25:51you trying to play the sympathy card with a cop?
25:54think whatever you want
25:55the law doesn't stop looking for the truth
25:57just because they were bad people
25:58whether they vanished or died
26:00and whoever's responsible, I'll find out
26:02it wasn't until he held me that I realized I was shaking
26:05the living room was lit
26:07but Victor and I stood in the dark kitchen
26:10cut off like we were in another world
26:12outside, detective Harris talked about law and truth
26:15in the dark, Victor kept kissing me
26:18maybe we haven't belonged to the light for a long time
26:20but in his arms, I wasn't afraid of the dark
26:27you've been coming to see me a lot lately
26:34too sweet
26:35aren't you about to graduate?
26:37where's Victor?
26:38the house we used to live in is getting torn down
26:40that old house out in that town?
26:43yeah
26:44that area is getting developed
26:48you should get a decent payout
26:50when I was a kid
26:52my adopting parents used to beat me
26:55I was too little to understand
26:56I just remember how much it hurt
27:00a kid pushed that far
27:02maybe they really could do something they can't take
27:04I was just a kid
27:05they hurt me bad enough
27:07maybe I did something stupid
27:08maybe I really did something unforgivable
27:10cops are sharp
27:11a few words were enough for him to start connecting the dots
27:13I gave him that clue on purpose
27:16once they tear that house down
27:17the secret inside won't stay buried
27:19not this time
27:20I won't let Victor take all the blame again
27:22I told him I got out at 4
27:24but by the time I got home
27:26it was already 6
27:28seeing Victor waiting on the couch
27:29took me right back to the night I came back
27:33Victor?
27:36where were you?
27:38I went to see Detective Harris
27:41idiot
27:42I'd promised not to lie to him again
27:44so I told him where I'd been
27:45he didn't ask questions
27:47he just held me
27:48like he already knew
27:50wanna eat first?
27:51eat what?
27:52dinner
27:54you
27:54when he said eat
27:56he meant the food on the table
27:57I meant him
27:58we both played dumb
28:00and let the kiss say the rest
28:01outside
28:02the cicadas were already singing
28:04and the street lights were coming on one by one
28:06but I knew this summer wouldn't last forever
28:08so I kissed him like time was running out
28:11trying to burn his warmth into me
28:13even if we were forced apart
28:14I wouldn't forget him
28:16are you coming to graduation tomorrow or not?
28:18I don't know
28:19I've still got something to handle at the port
28:21if you don't come
28:23you're so dead
28:24how dead?
28:26I'll never want you again
28:27yeah
28:28that's the kind you don't come back from
28:30Victor paid my way through school
28:32one punch at a time
28:33to cover my tuition
28:35he hid it from me and lived on the cheapest bread
28:38and canned food for a month
28:39I was giving the graduate speech
28:41I just wanted Victor to see
28:43that the girl he raised with everything he had
28:45didn't let it go to waste
28:47lastly I want to thank my brother
28:49without him I wouldn't be standing here today
28:52I thought he hadn't heard a word
28:54maybe things at the port really were that bad
28:57maybe I should have understood
28:59truth is I've always owed him more
29:01it was the first time anyone had ever given me flowers
29:04it was Victor
29:06what am I gonna do Chloe?
29:08I wasted these roses
29:10you're prettier than the roses
29:13can I get your number?
29:15in less than 15 minutes
29:1627 girls checked Victor out
29:193 asked for his number right in front of me
29:21for once
29:22I was almost glad he never got a normal college life
29:25with that face
29:26I'd have had a lot more competition
29:28Victor let's take one too
29:30Victor and I barely have any pictures together
29:32I used to think there was nothing worth keeping with an overprotective brother
29:36but now I want one that's ours
29:38you two make a great couple
29:40thanks
29:41I think so too
29:42my boyfriend and I look pretty good together
29:44it was the first time I'd ever admitted it in public
29:47that he was my boyfriend
29:48the way he looked at me
29:50he wanted to swallow me whole
29:52he was never part of my youth
29:53but he still makes my heart race more than anyone I ever knew back then
29:59that's the first time you've said that
30:01said what?
30:02that I'm your boyfriend sweetheart
30:03I've waited a long time to hear you say that
30:08after graduation
30:09life finally started feeling okay
30:11Victor and I stopped digging into the past
30:14and we never talked about what was buried in that old house
30:17sometimes he'd show up with white roses
30:21sometimes I'd make him try my latest dish
30:24Victor said my cooking was payback
30:27then the rainy season came
30:29one storm after another ruined our trip
30:32and with no one else to blame
30:34I took it out on him
30:36still mad?
30:40idiot
30:41it was Victor's birthday
30:43I wanted to surprise him
30:45so I snuck into his study while he was out to hide the gift
30:54it was the date our old house was torn down
31:00that was the day they were tearing down our old house
31:04no one knew what was hidden in those walls
31:07in my last life
31:08I didn't even live to see it
31:11what are you doing?
31:15nothing
31:16what's that? let me see
31:22happy birthday Victor
31:25I gave him a photo album of just us
31:28but when he opened it
31:29there were only two pictures inside
31:32only two?
31:34we'll fill it
31:39Victor
31:39Victor, smile
31:41it was Victor's 26th birthday
31:44I was still with him then
31:46and I really believed we'd spend the rest of our lives filling that album
31:50but September 17 was like a curse
31:53slowly eating up what little summer Victor and I had left
32:01I have to leave town today
32:02don't wait up for me tonight
32:06the day before the old house was demolished
32:08Victor suddenly said he had to leave town
32:11after he left
32:12I went to the police department alone
32:16what brings you here all of a sudden?
32:19detective, I want to turn myself in
32:21let's talk upstairs
32:25did you hear me?
32:27I said I'm turning myself in
32:29do people your age always treat the law like a joke?
32:32if you're turning yourself in
32:34you need proof you actually committed a crime
32:38understand?
32:39the sun came through the blinds and hit his face
32:43I knew that once I said it
32:44everything I had would be over
32:46I killed my adoptive parents
32:49I was 12
32:50I sealed their bodies inside the walls of the old house
32:52the house comes down tomorrow
32:54you'll find the evidence then
32:58what, did you two plan this?
33:01take turns turning yourselves in?
33:04Victor?
33:05Victor came in yesterday, a day before you did
33:09and your house is coming down today, not tomorrow
33:12Victor lied to you
33:14he was booked into holding jail yesterday
33:16this morning they took him to the demolition site for DNA testing
33:20so he never went on a business trip
33:22he went to the police department a day early
33:24to take all the blame himself
33:30that's why he never asked what was on that crumpled paper
33:33he left that imprint for me to find
33:39that's why he kept staring at me at lunch yesterday
33:42he wasn't lingering over the meal
33:45he thought it might be the last time he'd see me
33:47the DNA results should be back soon
33:50you want to come with me?
33:57I don't know how I ended up in that squad car
33:59or what the detective was saying
34:01I only knew one thing
34:03I was going to take Victor back from them
34:09everyone said fall was here
34:14but it felt like my summer was ending too
34:18buried in that wall weren't just two bodies
34:21Victor's in my childhood was in there too
34:24the one we never dared look back on
34:31my name is Chloe
34:32the trafficker said it was stitched on the blanket I was wrapped on when I was taken
34:37a girl?
34:38that's just another mouth to feed
34:40what's she good for?
34:41she's not your real kid
34:42she can work now
34:44and when she's older she'll bring in even more money
34:46they huggled over me like I was some cheap piece of junk
34:50in the end they bought me because I was cheap
34:53most people don't remember being three
34:55I do
34:55I remember pain, getting hit, dog bites
34:59hunger so bad my stomach hurt
35:02then a few years later their long lost son was brought back
35:05that was the first time I saw Victor
35:08Victor was the son they'd lost years ago
35:10he came back filthy too
35:12but his eyes were so clean I'd never seen anything like them
35:16back then I actually thought she was kind
35:18that's for my son, don't touch it
35:20back then I actually thought she was kind
35:21she hit me but at least sometimes she fed me
35:24after Victor came back even that stopped
35:34eat, I'm your brother, I won't take it from you
35:38brother?
35:40I hated him, I thought he took everything from me
35:43but he was also the one who shared his food and kept me alive in that house
35:48I hated him but I cling to him anyway
35:51I thought he stole my home
35:52but in that place that was never a home
35:55he was the only one I had
36:05when my adoptive father got drunk
36:07he'd hit me with a bottle and smash my head into the wall by my hair
36:12the wounds would barely scab over before the next beating tore them open again
36:20after every beating Victor was the only one who'd sneak me into his room and clean my wounds
36:28does it hurt bad?
36:31his fingers were always cold but his arms were warm
36:34he held me for a long time that night
36:36I had no idea what 15 year old Victor decided then
36:40but when I woke up the next morning nothing had changed
36:46my adoptive mother was getting stranger
36:49and my adoptive father kept taking it out on me
36:57Victor, help me
37:01back then, I didn't understand why he just stood there
37:05all I knew was they were his real parents
37:07and I was just the girl they bought
37:09my adoptive father lived at the card table
37:18my adoptive mother got hooked on white powder
37:23they got crazier by the day
37:24and soon sold off everything worth anything
37:31Victor was the only one in that house who didn't go under
37:35he was always top of his class
37:36always spotless
37:38and in his arms
37:39I felt safe
37:47what I didn't know was
37:48he'd spent a whole year secretly planning to get me out
37:54we're losing the house, get me some money
37:58when I was 12
38:00my adoptive mother suddenly started being nice to me
38:05she said I was grown now
38:06old enough to make money for this family
38:09do what you're told
38:11and your father and I can build a new house
38:15I didn't understand what she wanted from me
38:18but for the first time
38:19her smile scared me more than the beatings
38:26what are you doing, let me go
38:29I didn't know who they were giving me to
38:30or what that money meant
38:32but every part of me was screaming to run
38:35I only remember her yanking my hair
38:37his bottle smashing beside me
38:38my hand hit broken glass
38:40and the bleeding wouldn't stop
38:42why me, what did I do wrong?
38:44it hurts so bad, do you know how much it hurts?
38:47back then I thought no one in the world would care what happened to me
39:02let her go
39:04get out, this doesn't concern you
39:07I said, let my sister go
39:14I don't know when she let go of me
39:16or when he dropped
39:18I just remember the fireworks outside
39:20and the screaming suddenly stopped
39:24something warm hit my face
39:26I looked at Victor
39:28he was expressionless
39:29like he'd done nothing out of the ordinary
39:33don't look
39:37stay there, don't touch anything
39:38I thought he was scared
39:40but his hands never shook
39:42he even picked up my hair clip
39:44and wiped off anything that could prove I'd been there
39:47that's when I realized
39:48Victor wasn't going to run away with me
39:56he was going to take all of it on himself
39:59that night, Victor told me to wash up
40:02and put on my favorite clothes
40:04he stayed outside the door and kept saying
40:07don't be afraid
40:10I didn't listen
40:12I helped him wipe up the blood
40:13and clean the whole house
40:16that was the first secret I kept for him
40:18and the first time we were truly in it together
40:28go to sleep
40:29when you wake up, forget this ever happened
40:31you don't know anything
40:35my mom and dad haven't come home in two days
40:39I'm scared
40:40we told the police our adoptive parents were missing
40:43from that day on
40:44the new wall held a secret
40:46that belonged only to us
40:48Victor said he'd make money and take care of me
40:51he never told me he gave up college
40:54to stay with me
40:56he gave up the life he could have had
41:02detective Harris!
41:03we found them!
41:04ten years later, the wall that kept our secret
41:06finally came down
41:11the fireworks looked exactly the same as they did ten years ago
41:15back then, Victor pulled me out of a blood bath
41:19now he's about to take it all on again for me
41:30he can look away
41:32he can pretend nothing ever happened between us
41:34but he doesn't get to make me act like a stranger
41:36while he's about to lose his freedom
41:40don't touch her!
41:45your brother's been saying the same thing from the start
41:48it has nothing to do with you
41:50he confessed to everything and never said my name once
41:54he'd rather have me hate him forever
41:55than let me carry any of this with him
41:58my adoptive father nearly raped me
42:00my adoptive mother tried to sell me
42:02Victor was trying to save me
42:04whether they deserve punishment was up to the law
42:09then where was the law when we needed it?
42:12why did two kids trying to stay alive have to pay that price?
42:19I knew anger wouldn't save Victor
42:22but if the law never protected the brother who protected me
42:26I had to keep it from taking more years from him
42:32my brother's not in his right mind
42:35would that get his sentence reduced?
42:39when the DNA results came back
42:41detective Harris re-examined the scene
42:44what they found was nothing like what Victor and I remembered
42:49the axe caused massive trauma but it wasn't the fatal wound
42:53the man died from a glass wound to the neck
42:56the wound and the shards both had the female victim's tissue and finger prints on them
43:02the female victim had a large amount of psychiatric drugs in her system
43:05her fatal wound is consistent with self inflicted injury
43:10Victor didn't kill them that night
43:12my adoptive mother drugged out of her mind
43:15attacked my adoptive father then killed herself
43:18we both thought the axe had killed them
43:22you didn't kill anyone
43:23but I wanted to
43:25you still hid the bodies and obstructed the investigation
43:27as long as Chloe's okay
43:29I can take whatever they give me
43:33even then
43:33he didn't care how many years he'd get
43:35he only cared whether the police had put me in the file
43:38defendant Victor Moreri
43:40for assault and obstruction related offenses
43:42this court sentences you to seven years in state prison
43:48Victor!
43:51seven years, that's all
43:53he was always the one waiting for me
43:55this time, I'll wait for him to come home
43:58after Victor went to prison
44:00I saw him every month
44:02he always said he was fine
44:04but he never asked if I'd wait
44:07he was afraid to ask
44:09and he didn't think he deserved the answer
44:17with Detective Harris's help
44:19I found my birth parents
44:20they're both college professors
44:22and they never stopped looking for me
44:24that's when I realized that even I
44:26used and discarded
44:27had been someone's child all these years
44:34they gave me the home I should have had years ago
44:38they never tried to stop me from loving Victor
44:41I became a teacher
44:42and waited for him to come back
44:45so we could make up for those lost five years
44:51Victor got out two years early for good behavior
44:54but when he came home
44:55but when he came home
44:55he was like a different person
45:01thanks
45:04okay
45:04for three days he only said four words to me
45:07oh, okay, and thanks
45:09even at our worst, he'd never been this polite
45:13thank your parents for me
45:15where are you going?
45:17home
45:18this is your home too
45:23now that you've found your birth parents
45:25don't call me brother anymore
45:27I won't get in your way anymore, I'm leaving
45:29then I'm still your girlfriend, right?
45:32we haven't seen each other in five years
45:34what kind of girlfriend is that?
45:38I waited for him five years
45:41I thought once he got out
45:42we could go back to how we were
45:45instead he shut me out completely
45:47you've been off ever since you got back
45:49what happened?
45:53Chloe
45:54get out!
45:57so that's what prison did?
45:59made you realize I'm not worth keeping anymore?
46:01then go, I don't want you either
46:03you're the one I hate most
46:04I meant the opposite
46:05I just needed to know he still wouldn't leave me no matter what I said
46:08but this time, he didn't look back
46:14boss
46:16welcome back
46:23what I didn't know then, was that after Victor left my home
46:26he went back to the underworld he used to rule
46:28after you went to prison, Luca took over most of the business
46:30he's been digging into Chloe
46:34call everyone in
46:35you're taking your place back?
46:37I came back for one reason
46:38anyone targeting her disappears
46:40I only found out later
46:42while I was in that room, crying for him
46:45Victor walked back into the underworld he'd left five years ago
46:49they still feared him
46:51and they were still waiting for him
46:53five years in prison?
46:55and you still think you run this place?
46:59give me everything you have on Chloe
47:04so the rumors were true
47:05Victor Morato's only weakness is his own sister
47:09Luca thought five years was enough to make everyone forget Victor
47:13he had no idea Victor set this all up before he went to prison
47:16the men Luca thought were his never betrayed Victor
47:21everything Luca touched in the drug and trafficking operations goes to Detective Harris
47:25what about the rest of the business?
47:29no changes
47:31starting today
47:32I make the rules in End City's underworld again
47:35everyone thought he came back for power
47:37he didn't
47:38he took that seat to wipe out Luca's dirty business himself
47:42and make one thing clear
47:43some lines don't get crossed
47:45and neither do some people
47:50too late
47:58get the car
47:59I didn't know then that danger had been following me for days
48:02I only remember one man pulling a knife
48:04and the other telling me not to make a sound
48:13when Victor showed up more than a dozen cars rolled in behind him
48:17it was the first time I saw everyone clear out for him
48:20and the first time I saw the man he was beyond my brother
48:32I thought you didn't want me anymore
48:33why did you come?
48:35not wanting you doesn't mean anyone else gets to touch you
48:39Luca's under control
48:40what about the rest?
48:41anyone involved in the drug and trafficking operations goes to the police
48:47spread the word
48:48Chloe is untouchable in the Moretti family
48:52anyone who comes after her answers to me
48:55you took a knife for me
48:56you put yourself back on top
48:58everything you've done was to protect me wasn't it?
49:02then why do you keep pushing me away?
49:05Chloe the one who never should have stayed by your side was never them
49:08I was
49:11from that day on
49:12my name was off limits in End City's underworld
49:15Victor took the top spot again
49:17kept every danger away from me
49:19and locked himself out of my world
49:23Victor disappeared again
49:24I don't get it
49:26he'd shake the whole underworld for me
49:27so why won't he come back?
49:30he doesn't want me anymore
49:31I don't think so
49:34when you see someone else happy
49:36you can't help thinking about your own life
49:40you have parents now, a job, and a new home
49:43but he did time
49:44he's lived in the dark too long
49:46it's not that he doesn't love you
49:49he just thinks he doesn't deserve you now
49:52danger was only part of why Victor pushed me away
49:55what really trapped him was believing I'd only need his love if I had nothing else
50:00Luca and his men are under arrest
50:03your brother turned over all the evidence Luca left behind
50:05and he made sure nothing else could come after you
50:10then go after him
50:11tell him this was never about deserving me
50:14it only matters whether he wants this
50:18where else would Victor go?
50:20when he said home he never meant that house
50:23he meant this old apartment we lived in for years
50:31he said I have a home now
50:34but when he's drunk
50:35he still clings to our only family photo
50:40why didn't you want Chloe anymore?
50:43I never stopped
50:45then why did you leave me?
50:48because she doesn't need me anymore
50:51I used to think he wanted me to depend on him forever
50:54now I get it
50:56once I finally had more love
50:57the first thing he did was step aside
51:01but she still loves you
51:02because I was all she had
51:03she mistook dependence for love
51:07why would she choose a man who's been to prison?
51:09what would people say about her?
51:11what if she doesn't care?
51:13I do
51:16I won't let people talk about her like that
51:17judge her, humiliate her
51:19she has so many people who love her now
51:21what I have to give doesn't matter anymore
51:24I finally saw the man behind all of Victor's madness and control
51:28he never thought he'd given me too much
51:30he was terrified he'd never be enough for me
51:33I love you
51:34not because you were the only one who loved me
51:39my parents gave me a new home
51:41but home is wherever you are
51:48I'm dreaming
51:49yeah, it's a dream
51:52then in this dream you can do anything you want to me
51:57drunk, Victor thought he was dreaming
51:59he finally stopped holding back
52:01he stopped worrying his feelings would weigh me down
52:07I missed you so much, don't leave me
52:09what am I supposed to do? I love you too much
52:12that night, he said every word I'd waited five years to hear
52:16my star had never gone out
52:18he just thought his light would ruin the life I have now
52:26I missed you so much, don't leave me
52:28Victor, do you have split personalities or something?
52:31are you a different person at night?
52:33the proof's right here
52:34still gonna deny I'm your girlfriend?
52:36Chloe, from now on you don't get to regret this
52:41later, Victor cleaned up the dirty business Luca left behind
52:45he was still dangerous
52:46still the Victor Moratti everyone feared
52:51but everyday at 4 o'clock
52:52he'd be waiting outside my school
52:55to take me home
52:59mom and dad always kept a place for him at the table
53:03and that photo album that used to be empty
53:06slowly filled up with our life together
53:14I used to think Victor was the cage trapping me
53:17living it all over again made me see the truth
53:20he was my only star in the dark
53:22and the home I'd always come back to
