00:02:07together on new york's upper east side since childhood 20 years of memories between us
00:02:13never in my worst dreams did i imagine that oil had been laced with a powerful sedative meant to

00:02:34front especially for nico's wedding we just wanted to surprise you i lowered my eyes to the blonde hair
00:02:39scattered across the floor it had been my pride and dignity as the russell family's daughter and now
00:02:45nico moretti not only shattered it with his own hands he wanted me to swallow this bloody humiliation
00:02:50and pretend nothing had happened just so i could become his ornament a surprise this is the surprise
00:02:56nico morelli prepared for me scarlet toyed with the clippers raised a brow and looked me up and down
00:03:02i was just curious what kind of woman could keep our nico thinking about her for 20 years
00:03:07so dead set on marrying her turns out you're nothing but a spoiled little lady who grew up in
00:03:14a greenhouse and has never seen a street shootout everyone in the room understood what she left
00:03:19unsaid so what scarlet means is i'm not worthy of nico moretti is that it ava russell scar doesn't
00:03:29mean any harm she's been blunt like this since she was a kid she has no filter why do you
00:03:33have to take
00:03:33it personal as he spoke he tossed a black box onto the bed it hit the edge and sprang open
00:03:38revealing an exquisite wig inside stop making a scene i had this handmade italian custom wig
00:03:42prepared especially for you scarlet was only joking it's not like your hair won't grow back
00:03:47a joke what kind of joke requires shaving someone completely bald i didn't scream i didn't lose
00:03:52control i didn't even say a word i bit down hard forcing myself through the lingering drug haze and
00:03:57the ache in my limbs the blood of the russell family and years of highborn etiquette did not allow
00:04:00me to bow my head under their stunned gazes i picked up the wig placed it on my head and
00:04:05carefully smoothed every shining strand when the long hair fell back over my shoulders i instantly
00:04:09became polished and noble again my calmness darkened scarlet's face and she cut in from the
00:04:15side nico is taking such good care of you whether i think you're worthy or not isn't he still marrying
00:04:20you so what are you still whining about put on a thick veil tomorrow wear the wig and who can
00:04:25tell
00:04:25your hair is gone stop standing there looking so pitiful that weak little act is annoying but from
00:04:31the moment i woke up until now i had not shed a single tear nico are you really gonna let
00:04:38her
00:04:38humiliate me like this nico sighed and came over as if to take my hand i jerked away
00:04:48scar is my life and death comrade that's just how she is her mouth runs but her heart isn't bad
00:04:53let's put this behind us all right nico softened his voice again coaxing me ava at the end of the
00:04:58day i'm the one who gave you the oil this should be on me if you want to blame someone
00:05:01blame me
00:05:02that was what he said but his face carried absolute arrogance as if he was certain that after loving
00:05:06him for 20 years i could never hate him i looked at his face the face i had known since
00:05:10i was three
00:05:11when i was 11 children from another family cornered me and tried to steal the necklace my mother had left
00:05:16me
00:05:16nico grabbed a baseball bat and charged at them if anyone dared touch a single hair on my head
00:05:21he would fight them back when i was 17 just after my birthday nico graduated from west point and came
00:05:26to my door with the family's signet ring terrified someone else would win me first desperate to bind
00:05:31me to him for life when i was 20 nico left for chicago to expand the family's power at the
00:05:36airport
00:05:36he held my hand tightly eyes red and said that when he returned he would give me a grand wedding
00:05:41then nico spent four years fighting through chicago's gunfire while i waited quietly for him in the
00:05:46estate in new york and now that diffuser bottle still sat by the bed the sicilian citrus scent that once
00:05:51made me feel safe was wrapped in the sharp smell of sedatives silently mocking my stupidity
00:05:55actually this wasn't the first time i'd seen scarlet's hostility last year after begging my
00:06:00father for ages i finally boarded the family jet and went to a safe house in chicago to see nico
00:06:04but
00:06:05after i arrived nico showed no surprise at all instead he spent every day in the war hoose with
00:06:08scarlet leaning over city maps and planning operations even seeing me felt like a waste of his time
00:06:13i asked his men to announce me three times scarlet simply posted a printed sheet of paper on the iron
00:06:18door of the war room it read ava russell and dogs no entry back then i was furious and hurt
00:06:24i fought
00:06:24with nico but he only told me coldly scar doesn't mean any harm she's just direct besides delaying an
00:06:29operational briefing was your fault to begin with that was when i knew the scale in nico's heart had
00:06:34long since tipped beyond repair nico was still standing by the bed repeating that line he thought
00:06:39was so affectionate ava at the end of the day i'm the one who gave you the oil this should
00:06:44be on me
00:06:45you want to blame someone blame me hearing nico scarlet suddenly grabbed the tactical dagger on
00:06:50the table drew the blade and pressed it against her own long hair it's just hair isn't it fine i'll
00:06:54shave mine too and keep you to company for my partner a little sacrifice is nothing don't blame nico
00:07:01scarlet spoke as if she were making some righteous sacrifice but the blade in her hand didn't press
00:07:06even the slightest bit into her hair i looked at her performance and suddenly laughed then do it
00:07:13scarlet's hand froze i leaned forward and pressed her each word deliberate shave it her blade moved
00:07:18forward by half an inch but she used no force at all it didn't cut even a single strand i
00:07:23i'm doing
00:07:24this for my partner fine i'll shave it that moment nico leads forward drew the beretta from his waist
00:07:28and knocked the dagger out of scarlet's hand with the grip he looked at me his face livid his eyes
00:07:32full
00:07:32of rage enough ava russell you are completely out of line i froze scarlet is my life and death
00:07:39partner a comrade who would take a bullet for me in a street shootout why do you always have to
00:07:43make

00:07:48tears in your entire life and you the moment you see another woman you turn her into an imaginary enemy
00:07:54scarlet sees far beyond you she worries about the safety of the whole family about whether our
00:07:59brothers live or die what do you have in your heart scarlet tugged at his sleeve pretending
00:08:06to advise him nico stop she is your fiancee after all but nico didn't stop accusing me so what if
00:08:11she's my fiancee she's been shut inside that estate for too long her world is the size of a needle
00:08:15tip scar was only testing you in her own way i know it doesn't feel good but in this line
00:08:19of work
00:08:20courage and mental strength are everything why can't you get past this why force scar to shave her head
00:08:24with you do you have any idea how humiliating it is to force someone to do that i stood there
00:08:28listening to those words stab straight into my heart i had told myself countless times that it
00:08:33was time to let go of nico moretti but at that moment my heart still felt like it had been
00:08:37seized
00:08:38and crushed by a hand eva put away your tantrums the moretti name stands for absolute cold blood and
00:08:43obedience i don't need a narrow-minded bitter woman who haggles over a few strands of hair reflect on
00:08:49yourself after that he left the suite with several men without waiting for my answer the instant
00:08:55everyone left the strength i had been forcing myself to hold on to seemed to drain out of me
00:09:00all at once a dense suffocating pain spread through my veins and into every limb i looked at that
00:09:06brilliant patch of gold on the floor and suddenly realized i truly hated nico moretti now i raised my
00:09:13hand pulled off that heavy ridiculous wig and threw it aside letting my blue tint scalp be exposed to the
00:09:18air again when footsteps sounded outside the suite door darling tomorrow is your big day i asked the
00:09:26kitchen to make you when my mother pushed the door open she was still holding a cup of black coffee
00:09:31the cup in her hand crashed to the floor spilling hot coffee everywhere my mother stared at my bald head
00:09:37her eyes went wide and her voice shook beyond control your your hair she looked down and saw the
00:09:42long hair scattered across the floor panic overtook her what what happened who did this my hearing

00:22:11fragile in our world weakness gets you killed scarlet and the others are just welcoming you in their own
00:22:17way it's a test of your nerve put on a veil tomorrow and no one will know wear the veil
00:22:23and the wig
00:22:23tomorrow no one will see anything wrong you'll still be the mrs moretti i bring home in style
00:22:29i tried to move my limbs still too weak to use and fixed my eyes on that diffuser bottle nico
00:22:36had come
00:22:36to see me in the suite last night and placed it there with his own hands this is a custom
00:22:41essential oil
00:22:42from sicily blended with lavender and chamomile extract it's the best thing for sleep
00:22:50you'll be busy all day tomorrow so get a good night's rest i thought of how we had grown up
00:22:56together on new york's upper east side since childhood 20 years of memories between us
00:23:01never in my worst dreams did i imagine that oil had been laced with a powerful sedative meant to knock
00:23:06me out cold when the family members in the room saw i was awake and silent they hurried to smooth
00:23:12things off for scarlet future mistress don't be angry scar was just messing around she's got restless
00:23:18hands all of us brothers have had a taste of it future mistress we came back from the chicago front
00:23:23especially for nico's wedding we just wanted to surprise you i lowered my eyes to the blonde hair
00:23:28scattered across the floor it had been my pride and dignity as the russell family's daughter
00:23:32and now nico moretti not only shattered it with his own hands he wanted me to swallow this bloody
00:23:38humiliation and pretend nothing had happened just so i could become his ornament a surprise this is
00:23:44the surprise nico morelli prepared for me scarlet toyed with the clippers raised a brow and looked me
00:23:50up and down i was just curious what kind of woman could keep our nico thinking about her for 20
00:23:55years
00:23:56so dead set on marrying her turns out you're nothing but a spoiled little lady who grew up in a
00:24:02greenhouse and has never seen a street shootout everyone in the room understood what she left
00:24:08unsaid so what scarlet means is i'm not worthy of nico moretti is that it ava russell scar doesn't
00:24:17mean any harm she's been blunt like this since she was a kid she has no filter why do you
00:24:21have to take
00:24:22it personally as he spoke he tossed a black box onto the bed it hit the edge and sprang open
00:24:26revealing an
00:24:27exquisite wig inside stop making a scene i had this handmade italian custom wig prepared especially
00:24:32for you scarlet was only joking it's not like your hair won't grow back a joke what kind of joke
00:24:37requires shaving someone completely bald i didn't scream i didn't lose control i didn't even say a
00:24:42word i bit down hard forcing myself through the lingering drug haze and the ache in my limbs
00:24:46the blood of the russell family and years of highborn etiquette did not allow me to bow my head
00:24:50under their stunned gazes i picked up the wig placed it on my head and carefully smoothed every
00:24:54shining strand when the long hair fell back over my shoulders i instantly became polished and noble
00:24:59again my calmness darkened scarlet's face and she cut in from the side nico is taking such good care
00:25:05of you whether i think you're worthy or not isn't he still marrying you so what are you still whining
00:25:10about put on a thick veil tomorrow wear the wig and who can tell your hair is gone stop standing
00:25:16there
00:25:16looking so pitiful that weak little act is annoying but from the moment i woke up until now i had
00:25:22not
00:25:22shed a single tear nico are you really gonna let her humiliate me like this
00:25:30nico sighed and came over as if to take my hand i jerked away
00:25:37scar is my life and death comrade that's just how she is her mouth runs but her heart isn't bad
00:25:41let's put this behind us all right nico softened his voice again coaxing me ava at the end of the
00:25:46day
00:25:46i'm the one who gave you the oil this should be on me if you want to blame someone blame
00:25:50me that was what
00:25:51he said but his face carried absolute arrogance as if he was certain that after loving him for 20
00:25:55years i could never hate him i looked at his face the face i had known since i was three
00:25:59when i was
00:26:0011 children from another family cornered me and tried to steal the necklace my mother had left me
00:26:05nico grabbed a baseball bat and charged at them if anyone dared touch a single hair on my head
00:26:10he would fight them back when i was 17 just after my birthday nico graduated from west point and came
00:26:15to
00:26:15my door with the family's signet ring terrified someone else would win me first desperate to bind
00:26:20me to him for life when i was 20 nico left for chicago to expand the family's power at the
00:26:25airport
00:26:25he held my hand tightly eyes red and said that when he returned he would give me a grand wedding
00:26:29then nico spent four years fighting through chicago's gunfire while i waited quietly for him
00:26:34in the estate in new york and now that diffuser bottle still sat by the bed the sicilian citrus scent
00:26:39that once made me feel safe was wrapped in the sharp smell of sedatives silently mocking my stupidity
00:26:44actually this wasn't the first time i'd seen scarlet's hostility last year after begging my
00:26:49father for ages i finally boarded the family jet and went to a safe house in chicago to see nico
00:26:53but after i arrived nico showed no surprise at all instead he spent every day in the warhoose with
00:26:57scarlet leaning over city maps and planning operations even seeing me felt like a waste of his time
00:27:01i asked his men to announce me three times scarlet simply posted a printed sheet of paper on the iron
00:27:07door of the war room it read ava russell and dogs no entry back then i was furious and hurt
00:27:12i fought
00:27:13with nico but he only told me coldly scar doesn't mean any harm she's just direct besides delaying an
00:27:18operational briefing was your fault to begin with that was when i knew the scale in nico's heart had
00:27:22long since tipped beyond repair nico was still standing by the bed repeating that line he thought
00:27:27was so affectionate ava at the end of the day i'm the one who gave you the oil this should
00:27:33be on me
00:27:33if you want to blame someone blame me hearing nico scarlet suddenly grabbed the tactical dagger on
00:27:38the table drew the blade and pressed it against her own long hair it's just hair isn't it fine i'll
00:27:43shave mine too and keep you to company for my partner a little sacrifice is nothing don't blame nico
00:27:49scarlet spoke as if she were making some righteous sacrifice but the blade in her hand didn't press
00:27:54even the slightest bit into her hair i looked at her performance and suddenly laughed then do it
00:28:02scarlet's hand froze i leaned forward and pressed her each word deliberate shave it her blade moved
00:28:07forward by half an inch but she used no force at all it didn't cut even a single strand i
00:28:12i'm doing
00:28:12this for my partner fine i'll shave it at that moment nico leads forward drew the beretta from his waist
00:28:17and knocked the dagger out of scarlet's hand with the grip he looked at me his face livid his eyes
00:28:21full of
00:28:21rage enough ava russell you are completely out of line i froze scarlet is my life and death partner
00:28:28a comrade who would take a bullet for me in a street shootout why do you always have to make
00:28:31things hard for her she fought for four years in chicago she has spilled more blood than you've
00:28:36shed tears in your entire life and you the moment you see another woman you turn her into an imaginary
00:28:42enemy scarlet sees far beyond you she worries about the safety of the whole family about whether our
00:28:48brothers live or die what do you have in your heart scarlet tugged at his sleeve pretending to advise
00:28:55him nico stop she is your fiancee after all but nico didn't stop accusing me so what if she's my
00:29:00fiancee she's been shut inside that estate for too long her world is the size of a needle tip scar
00:29:04was only testing you in her own way i know it doesn't feel good but in this line of work
00:29:08courage
00:29:09and mental strength are everything why can't you get past this why force scar to shave her head with
00:29:13you do you have any idea how humiliating it is to force someone to do that i stood there listening
00:29:17to those words stab straight into my heart i had told myself countless times that it was time to
00:29:22let go of nico moretti but at that moment my heart still felt like it had been seized and crushed
00:29:27by a
00:29:27hand eva put away your tantrums the moretti name stands for absolute cold blood and obedience
00:29:32i don't need a narrow-minded bitter woman who haggles over a few strands of hair reflect on yourself
00:29:39after that he left the suite with several men without waiting for my answer the instant everyone
00:29:44left the strength i had been forcing myself to hold on to seemed to drain out of me all at
00:29:48once
00:29:49a dense suffocating pain spread through my veins and into every limb i looked at that brilliant
00:29:55patch of gold on the floor and suddenly realized i truly hated nico moretti now i raised my hand pulled
00:30:02off that heavy ridiculous wig and threw it aside letting my blue tinted scalp be exposed to the air again
00:30:07when footsteps sounded outside the suite door darling tomorrow is your big day i asked the
00:30:14kitchen to make you when my mother pushed the door open she was still holding a cup of black coffee

00:44:34and down i was just curious what kind of woman could keep our nico thinking about her for 20 years
00:44:39so dead set on marrying her turns out you're nothing but a spoiled little lady who grew up in a
00:44:46greenhouse and has never seen a street shootout everyone in the room understood what she left
00:44:51unsaid so what scarlet means is i'm not worthy of nico moretti is that it ava russell scar doesn't
00:45:01mean any harm she's been blunt like this since she was a kid she has no filter why do you
00:45:05have to take
00:45:05it personally as he spoke he tossed a black box onto the bed it hit the edge and sprang open
00:45:10revealing an
00:45:10exquisite wig inside stop making a scene i had this handmade italian custom wig prepared especially
00:45:15for you scarlet was only joking it's not like your hair won't grow back a joke what kind of joke
00:45:20requires shaving someone completely bald i didn't scream i didn't lose control i didn't even say a
00:45:25word i bit down hard forcing myself through the lingering drug haze and the ache in my limbs the
00:45:30blood of the russell family and years of highborn etiquette did not allow me to bow my head
00:45:33under their stunned gazes i picked up the wig placed it on my head and carefully smoothed every
00:45:38shining strand when the long hair fell back over my shoulders i instantly became polished and noble
00:45:43again my calmness darkened scarlet's face and she cut in from the side nico is taking such good care
00:45:49of you whether i think you're worthy or not isn't he still marrying you so what are you still whining
00:45:54about put on a thick veil tomorrow wear the wig and who can tell your hair is gone stop standing
00:45:59there
00:46:00looking so pitiful that weak little act is annoying but from the moment i woke up until now i had
00:46:05not
00:46:05shed a single tear nico are you really gonna let her humiliate me like this
00:46:14nico sighed and came over as if to take my hand i jerked away
00:46:20scar is my life and death comrade that's just how she is her mouth runs but her heart isn't bad
00:46:25let's put this behind us all right nico softened his voice again coaxing me ava at the end of the
00:46:30day
00:46:30i'm the one who gave you the oil this should be on me if you want to blame someone blame
00:46:33me that was what
00:46:34he said but his face carried absolute arrogance as if he was certain that after loving him for 20
00:46:39years i could never hate him i looked at his face the face i had known since i was three
00:46:42when i was
00:46:4311 children from another family cornered me and tried to steal the necklace my mother had left me
00:46:48nico grabbed a baseball bat and charged at them if anyone dared touch a single hair on my head
00:46:53he would fight them back when i was 17 just after my birthday nico graduated from west point and came
00:46:58to
00:46:58my door with the family's signet ring terrified someone else would win me first desperate to bind
00:47:03me to him for life when i was 20 nico left for chicago to expand the family's power at the
00:47:08airport
00:47:08he held my hand tightly eyes red and said that when he returned he would give me a grand wedding
00:47:13then nico spent four years fighting through chicago's gunfire while i waited quietly for him in
00:47:17the estate in new york and now that diffuser bottle still sat by the bed the sicilian citrus scent that
00:47:22once made me feel safe was wrapped in the sharp smell of sedatives silently mocking my stupidity
00:47:28actually this wasn't the first time i'd seen scarlet's hostility last year after begging my
00:47:32father for ages i finally boarded the family jet and went to a safe house in chicago to see nico
00:47:36but after i arrived nico showed no surprise at all instead he spent every day in the war hoose with
00:47:40scarlet leaning over city maps and planning operations even seeing me felt like a waste of his
00:47:45time i asked his men to announce me three times scarlet simply posted a printed sheet of paper
00:47:50on the iron door of the war room it read ava russell and dogs no entry back then i was
00:47:55furious
00:47:55and hurt i fought with nico but he only told me coldly scar doesn't mean any harm she's just direct
00:48:00besides delaying an operational briefing was your fault to begin with that was when i knew the scale
00:48:05in nico's heart had long since tipped beyond repair nico was still standing by the bed repeating that line
00:48:10he thought was so affectionate ava at the end of the day i'm the one who gave you the oil
00:48:15this should be
00:48:16on me if you want to blame someone blame me hearing nico scarlet suddenly grabbed the tactical dagger
00:48:22on the table drew the blade and pressed it against her own long hair it's just hair isn't it fine
00:48:26i'll
00:48:26shave mine too and keep you to company for my partner a little sacrifice is nothing don't blame nico
00:48:33scarlet spoke as if she were making some righteous sacrifice but the blade in her hand didn't press
00:48:38even the slightest bit into her hair i looked at her performance and suddenly laughed then do it
00:48:45scarlet's hand froze i leaned forward and pressed her each word deliberate shave it her blade moved
00:48:51forward by half an inch but she used no force at all it didn't cut even a single strand i
00:48:55i'm doing
00:48:56this for my partner fine i'll shave it that moment nico leads forward drew the beretta from his waist and
00:49:01knocked the dagger out of scarlet's hand with the grip he looked at me his face livid his eyes full
00:49:04of
00:49:04rage enough ava russell you are completely out of line i froze scarlet is my life and death partner
00:49:11a comrade who would take a bullet for me in a street shootout why do you always have to make
00:49:15things hard for her she fought for four years in chicago she has spilled more blood than you've
00:49:20shed tears in your entire life and you the moment you see another woman you turn her into an imaginary
00:49:25enemy scarlet sees far beyond you she worries about the safety of the whole family about whether our
00:49:31brothers live or die what do you have in your heart scarlet tugged at his sleeve pretending to
00:49:38advise him nico stop she is your fiancee after all but nico didn't stop accusing me so what if she's
00:49:43my fiancee she's been shut inside that estate for too long her world is the size of a needle tip

01:06:32of you whether i think you're worthy or not isn't he still marrying you so what are you still whining
01:06:37about put on a thick veil tomorrow wear the wig and who can tell your hair is gone stop standing
01:06:43there
01:06:43looking so pitiful that weak little act is annoying but from the moment i woke up until now i had
01:06:49not
01:06:49shed a single tear nico are you really gonna let her humiliate me like this
01:06:57nico sighed and came over as if to take my hand i jerked away
01:07:04scar is my life and death comrade that's just how she is her mouth runs but her heart isn't bad
01:07:09let's put this behind us all right nico softened his voice again coaxing me ava at the end of the
01:07:13day
01:07:13i'm the one who gave you the oil this should be on me if you want to blame someone blame
01:07:17me that was what
01:07:18he said but his face carried absolute arrogance as if he was certain that after loving him for 20
01:07:22years i could never hate him i looked at his face the face i had known since i was three
01:07:26when i was
01:07:2711 children from another family cornered me and tried to steal the necklace my mother had left me
01:07:32nico grabbed a baseball bat and charged at them if anyone dared touch a single hair on my head
01:07:37he would fight them back when i was 17 just after my birthday nico graduated from west point and came
01:07:42to
01:07:42my door with the family's signet ring terrified someone else would win me first desperate to bind
01:07:47me to him for life when i was 20 nico left for chicago to expand the family's power at the
01:07:52airport
01:07:52he held my hand tightly eyes red and said that when he returned he would give me a grand wedding
01:07:56then nico spent four years fighting through chicago's gunfire while i waited quietly for him in
01:08:01the estate in new york and now that diffuser bottle still sat by the bed the sicilian citrus scent
01:08:06that once made me feel safe was wrapped in the sharp smell of sedatives silently mocking my stupidity
01:08:11actually this wasn't the first time i'd seen scarlett's hostility last year after begging my
01:08:16father for ages i finally boarded the family jet and went to a safe house in chicago to see nico
01:08:20but
01:08:20after i arrived nico showed no surprise at all instead he spent every day in the war hoose with
01:08:24scarlett leaning over city maps and planning operations even seeing me felt like a waste of his
01:08:28time i asked his men to announce me three times scarlett simply posted a printed sheet of paper
01:08:33on the iron door of the war room it read ava russell and dogs no entry back then i was
01:08:39furious
01:08:39and hurt i fought with nico but he only told me coldly scar doesn't mean any harm she's just direct
01:08:44besides delaying an operational briefing was your fault to begin with that was when i knew the scale
01:08:48in nico's heart had long since tipped beyond repair nico was still standing by the bed repeating that line
01:08:54he thought was so affectionate ava at the end of the day i'm the one who gave you the oil
01:08:59this should be
01:09:00on me if you want to blame someone blame me hearing nico scarlett suddenly grabbed the tactical dagger
01:09:05on the table drew the blade and pressed it against her own long hair it's just hair isn't it fine
01:09:10i'll
01:09:10shave mine too and keep you to company for my partner a little sacrifice is nothing don't blame nico
01:09:16scarlett spoke as if she were making some righteous sacrifice but the blade in her hand didn't press
01:09:21even the slightest bit into her hair i looked at her performance and suddenly laughed then do it
01:09:29scarlett's hand froze i leaned forward and pressed her each word deliberate shave it her blade moved
01:09:34forward by half an inch but she used no force at all it didn't cut even a single strand i
01:09:39i'm doing
01:09:39this for my partner fine i'll shave it at that moment nico leads forward drew the beretta from his waist
01:09:44and knocked the dagger out of scarlett's hand with the grip he looked at me his face livid his eyes
01:09:48full
01:09:48of rage enough ava russell you are completely out of line i froze scarlett is my life and death partner
01:09:55a comrade who would take a bullet for me in a street shootout why do you always have to make
01:09:59things hard for her she fought for four years in chicago she has spilled more blood than you've
01:10:03shed tears in your entire life and you the moment you see another woman you turn her into an imaginary
01:10:09enemy scarlett sees far beyond you she worries about the safety of the whole family about whether our
01:10:15brothers live or die what do you have in your heart scarlett tugged at his sleeve pretending to advise
01:10:22him nico stop she is your fiancee after all but nico didn't stop accusing me so what if she's my
01:10:27fiancee she's been shut inside that estate for too long her world is the size of a needle tip scar
01:10:31was
01:10:32only testing you in her own way i know it doesn't feel good but in this line of work courage
01:10:36and mental
01:10:36strength are everything why can't you get past this why force scar to shave her head with you do you
01:10:41have
01:10:41any idea how humiliating it is to force someone to do that i stood there listening to those words stab
01:10:45straight into my heart i had told myself countless times that it was time to let go of nico moretti
01:10:50but at that moment my heart still felt like it had been seized and crushed by a hand ava put
01:10:55away
01:10:56your tantrums the moretti name stands for absolute cold blood and obedience i don't need a narrow-minded
01:11:01bitter woman who haggles over a few strands of hair reflect on yourself after that he left the suite
01:11:08with several men without waiting for my answer the instant everyone left the strength i had been forcing
01:11:13myself to hold on to seemed to drain out of me all at once a dense suffocating pain spread through
01:11:18my
01:11:19veins and into every limb i looked at that brilliant patch of gold on the floor and suddenly realized
01:11:25i truly hated nico moretti now i raised my hand pulled off that heavy ridiculous wig and threw it
01:11:31aside letting my blue tint scalp be exposed to the air again when footsteps sounded outside the suite door
01:11:39darling tomorrow is your big day i asked the kitchen to make you when my mother pushed the door
01:11:44open she was still holding a cup of black coffee the cup in her hand crashed to the floor spilling
01:11:49hot coffee everywhere my mother stared at my bald head her eyes went wide and her voice shook beyond
01:11:55control your your hair she looked down and saw the long hair scattered across the floor panic overtook
01:12:01her what what happened who did this my hearing was sharp i heard scarlet outside the fire exit unable to
01:12:08suppress a soft laugh mom it's all right i held my mother's violently shaking hands and comforted her
01:12:13softly my mother's tears fell instantly the wedding is tomorrow how are you supposed to face anyone like

01:12:24eyes and said each word clearly mom i messaged damien costell i'm changing the groom
