00:00...a rival family for territory along the Gulf Coast.
00:03When he came home, a heavily pregnant young woman was at his side.
00:07I asked him over and over,
00:08Is the baby yours?
00:10He dropped to his knees at my feet in front of the entire family.
00:13But all he said was,
00:14I'm sorry, I can't tell you.
00:16After six months of family war, my husband, Rafe DeLuca, finally came home alive.
00:21Twelve black sedans rolled into the estate one after another.
00:24I stood on the steps of the main house with Sam in my arms.
00:27A car door opened, Rafe stepped out.
00:30Helping a young woman whose belly was already showing.
00:33My expression hardened all around me.
00:35The wives of the capos who had come to welcome the Don home broke into shocked whispers.
00:39The moment Rafe saw me, his gaze flickered away.
00:42Nora, let me explain.
00:44I gave a cold laugh, turned around, and walked away.
00:47Sam looked at his father, then at the woman beside him.
00:50Mommy, who's that lady next to Daddy?
00:52You don't have a Daddy. Your Daddy's dead.
00:54A commotion broke out behind me.
00:56Rafe hurried after us, his dress shoes striking sharply against the pavement.
01:00He cut in front of me, and in full view of every capo, every capo's wife, and every soldier in
01:06the family, dropped straight to his knees.
01:09Nora, let me explain.
01:10I shifted Sam to my other arm and looked down at Rafe.
01:13We hadn't seen each other in six months.
01:15I never imagined this was how we'd meet again.
01:18Go ahead. I'm listening.
01:20The young woman came over, too.
01:22She stopped beside Rafe, both hands protectively cupping her stomach.
01:26Donna, my name is Lily.
01:27Lily Carter.
01:29The Caruso family attacked the town where I lived.
01:31My whole family was killed.
01:33Don DeLucco got me out of a safe house.
01:35Whose baby is it?
01:37Lily lowered her head and said nothing.
01:39I turned back to Rafe.
01:40He knelt there with his head bowed and his hands braced on his knees, as if someone had ripped the
01:44spine out of him.
01:46I asked you whose baby it is.
01:49Don't ask. I really can't tell you.
01:51A gasp suddenly came from the crowd.
01:53Bianca DeLuca, Rafe's mother, raised her voice.
01:56Her belly's already that big.
01:57Do you really have to ask? Isn't it obvious?
02:00Sounding almost excited, I crouched down with Sam in my arms.
02:04Rafe, I'm only going to ask you three things.
02:12Rafe's Adam's apple bobbed.
02:14First, is the baby yours?
02:18Second, what exactly happened between you and her on the Gulf Coast?
02:24Third, before you brought her home, did you ever think about how you were going to tell me?
02:28I did. I just never figured out how to say it.
02:31I laughed once, then I stood and hitched Sam higher in my arms.
02:35Sam wrapped both little arms around my neck and buried his face against my shoulder.
02:39I stepped around Rafe, still kneeling on the ground, and headed for the main house.
02:43Bianca spoke to the Capos wives beside her, not quite loudly enough to be called shouting, but more than loudly
02:49enough for me to hear.
02:51Who does she think she is, acting like that?
02:54My son spent six months fighting enemies out there.
02:58So what if he brought a woman home?
03:01Adana can't afford to be this jealous!
03:03My steps paused. I didn't look back until I had reached the top of the stairs.
03:07Rafe was still kneeling where I'd left him, his knees seemingly nailed to the ground.
03:11Lily was still there too, looking down at him.
03:14Get up. You're the Don. How can you kneel to that woman? She's not worth it.
03:20I carried Sam into the main house. He leaned close to my ear and whispered,
03:24Mommy, why won't Daddy get up?
03:26Because Mommy hasn't told him he can.
03:28Oh. Who's that lady?
03:30I kicked the bedroom door open, set Sam down, then crouched so we were eye to eye.
03:34Your father brought her back with him. Starting today, she's living here with us.
03:38Then whose baby is in her tummy?
03:41Good question, kid. Mommy would like to know too.
03:44That afternoon, Vincent Marino personally delivered the paperwork for Lily's stay.
03:48Vincent was the DeLuca family's consigliere.
03:51The paperwork stated that Lily was under the Don's personal protection
03:55and would stay temporarily at the estate.
03:57Without the Don's permission, no one was allowed to look into her background.
04:02The paperwork had barely landed on my desk when Bianca arrived with several Capos' wives.
04:06They didn't even knock before coming upstairs.
04:09Bianca pushed open the door to Sam's room and walked around inside.
04:14This room is perfect. It's bright and airy, just what a pregnant woman needs.
04:19I pulled Sam to my side and leaned against the doorframe, watching her.
04:24Mrs. DeLuca, this is Sam's room.
04:28So move the boy somewhere else. What's the big deal?
04:31She's pregnant. Is it really so much to ask that he give up a room for her?
04:34Before I could answer, a voice came from behind me.
04:37Lily stood in the hallway holding a canvas duffel bag.
04:40Ma'am, I can stay anywhere.
04:42Please don't make things difficult for the Donna.
04:44All I need is a bed.
04:50Bianca grabbed Lily's hand and pulled her to her side.
04:53The way she did it, anyone would have thought she was protecting her own daughter.
04:58What are you scared of?
04:59I'm here.
05:01Rafe brought you home.
05:03You think the DeLuca family is going to leave you sleeping in the street?
05:06The other women nodded along.
05:08One Capo's wife even tried to lecture me.
05:11Nora, you're the Donna.
05:12You need to be more generous.
05:14Since you're so generous,
05:16why don't you take Lily home with you?
05:18She shut her mouth.
05:19That night, the estate held a welcome home dinner.
05:23Rafe came over carrying three plates and carefully set them in front of Sam and me.
05:27I sat down with Sam.
05:29I had barely picked up my fork when Lily approached with her own plate.
05:32She didn't dare sit beside me.
05:34She just stood across the table, looking at me expectantly.
05:37Sam glanced at her, then at me, and tugged lightly on my sleeve.
05:40I looked up at her but said nothing.
05:42Only then did she sit, stiff and awkward, keeping her head down as she ate in silence.
05:46Bianca came over with her plate.
05:48She dropped into the seat next to Lily and placed a large piece of stewed meat on Lily's plate.
05:54Eat more.
05:55You're eating for two now.
05:56My fork paused.
05:57Rafe sat across from me, watching me cautiously.
06:00I ignored him and kept cutting Sam's meat.
06:03Bianca smiled at Lily again.
06:05Rafe was a big, strong boy even when he was little.
06:07This baby will probably take after him too.
06:10I finished my meal calmly and set my napkin on the table.
06:13As I passed Rafe, I tossed out one word.
06:17Outside.
06:20There was a stretch of stone wall behind the estate's private chapel.
06:23I shoved him back against it.
06:26Is the baby yours or not?
06:27Rafe leaned against the wall with his head down, refusing to meet my eyes.
06:30After a long silence, he said,
06:32Give me a little more time.
06:34How much time?
06:35Didn't you see how your mother moped me today?
06:37Are you deaf or are you blind?
06:38If Lily is your mistress, then say it to my face.
06:42I'll step aside and let you have each other.
06:44He went silent again.
06:45I turned and walked away.
06:47Early the next morning, I went to the soldiers who had returned from the fighting with Rafe
06:51and asked about Lily.
06:52One soldier's expression changed instantly.
06:55Donna, don't ask.
06:56The Don gave a direct order.
06:58Please don't push a pregnant woman into a corner.
07:00With that, they turned and left.
07:01I stood in the garden, the sun beating down so fiercely that my scalp prickled from the heat.
07:06Then someone called my name from behind.
07:09Donna.
07:09I turned and saw Gabriel, one of Rafe's most trusted men.
07:18The Don pulled me into the shade and lowered his voice.
07:21Donna, the day Lily arrived in New Orleans, the first place she went was the Don's office.
07:26When we came out of the meeting room later, she was already sitting in the Don's car.
07:30You know the Don isn't that kind of man.
07:32Just give him a little more time.
07:34Please don't assume the worst.
07:35I looked at him without saying anything.
07:36He seemed to realize there was no reasonable way not to assume the worst.
07:39He gave me an awkward smile and left.
07:42Back in my room, I opened the safe and pulled out the letters Rafe had sent me from the Gulf
07:46Coast over the past six months.
07:48There were eight in total.
07:50The first three were completely normal.
07:52Starting with the fourth, his tone changed.
07:55Looking back now, that must have been when something happened.
07:58Sam ran in and leaned against my knees, tipping his face up at me.
08:01Mommy, what are you reading?
08:04Some old debts.
08:06Within days, people in the family had started calling me a jealous bitch behind my back.
08:10One afternoon, I passed the storage room behind the chapel.
08:14Several Capo's wives were inside sorting donations for a charity sale, talking animatedly.
08:19The Don spent six months fighting a war.
08:21So what if he has a mistress?
08:23Who does she think she is?
08:25Glaring at everyone all day?
08:27That poor girl is pregnant and has already been through enough.
08:30And Nora acts like she wants to throw her out on the street.
08:33I pushed the door open.
08:35The room went silent instantly.
08:37The three women each grabbed a box and hurried out.
08:40Lily, on the other hand, kept her head down and stayed out of trouble.
08:44She helped with whatever work she could around the estate.
08:46Whenever she saw me walking past with Sam, she lowered her head and called me Donna.
08:51Always careful and respectful.
08:53Several of the older women at the estate praised her for being so well-mannered and spoke about
08:58her with obvious affection.
09:00Once, Bianca took Lily's hand right in front of me and said,
09:03Good girl, don't be afraid.
09:05No one here is going to bully you.
09:07I tried asking Lily directly once.
09:09That day, she was in the kitchen arranging washed fruit on a plate.
09:12I walked over and helped her sort it.
09:14She looked up at me and her eyes brightened.
09:16The more I looked at those clear, bright eyes, the more confused I became.
09:20Lily didn't look at me the way a mistress looked at a wife.
09:23Lily, where are you from?
09:25A small town near the Gulf Coast.
09:28What were your parents' names?
09:30They died a long time ago.
09:32How did you meet Rafe?
09:41Asked again more softly.
09:42Lily, is the baby you're carrying Rafe's?
09:46All the color drained from her face as if she'd been shot point-blank.
09:50Donna, just tell me the truth.
09:53Tears rushed into her eyes.
09:54One hand covered her stomach while the other braced against the edge of the sink.
09:58Donna, are you going to force me to leave?
09:59Then she clutched her belly and hurried out of the kitchen.
10:02She couldn't move quickly, and Bianca happened to see her rushing out.
10:05I stood there, stunned.
10:07That afternoon, Bianca showed up at my bedroom door with several Capo's wives.
10:11The four of them stood in a row like debt collectors.
10:13She's pregnant, and you still made her cry.
10:16What exactly are you trying to do?
10:17Sam stood beside my leg, hugging my knee.
10:20I pulled him behind me.
10:22If you're so worried about her, Mrs. DeLula, then move her into the room next to your,
10:26and take care of her yourself.
10:27Otherwise, stop gossiping and keep your mouth shut.
10:30Before any of them could answer, I shut the door.
10:32At the end of the month, the family held a charity committee meeting.
10:35Bianca stood at the head of the long table to speak.
10:38Near the end, her tone suddenly shifted.
10:41Some women are so consumed by jealousy that they forget the family entirely.
10:45A real Donna should never make life difficult for a homeless pregnant woman,
10:49much less make herself a laughingstock in front of the whole family.
10:52My back went rigid, and I started to stand.
10:54Under the table, Rafe grabbed my wrist and held me in place.
10:57I tried to pull away, but he wouldn't let go.
10:59I turned toward him.
11:00Let go.
11:01Not now.
11:02She's accusing me in front of everyone.
11:04I know.
11:05You know, and you're still stopping me from defending myself?
11:08His hand didn't move.
11:09Anger burned through me.
11:10The moment the meeting ended, I went straight to the records room Vincent managed.
11:15I want to see Lily's file.
11:17I'm sorry, Donna.
11:19The file has been sealed.
11:21The Don also gave strict orders that not a single detail about Lily is to be disclosed.
11:25Who handled Lily's file?
11:30Don Salvador.
11:31Don Salvatore DeLuca, Rafe's father and the former head of the family,
11:35had stepped down three years earlier.
11:36He no longer involved himself in the family's day-to-day affairs and only stepped in when
11:41something serious happened.
11:42I turned and left the records room to find him.
11:44When Don Salvatore saw me, a conflicted look crossed his face.
11:48Nora, take my advice.
11:49Let this go.
11:50Stop making things difficult for her.
11:57Clenched my teeth.
11:58I hated letting it go, but I turned and left anyway.
12:01I had just reached the estate gates when my brother Jake's car came tearing through them.
12:05He was the heir to the Valenti family.
12:07And before I married Rafe, he'd always been the one who spoiled me most.
12:11The car hadn't even come to a full stop before he shoved the door open and jumped out.
12:15He'd rolled up his sleeves, veins standing out on his arms, his face dark with fury.
12:20Nora, just wait here.
12:21I'm going inside to kill Rafe right now.
12:23He pulled out a gun, looking ready to murder someone.
12:26Not yet.
12:28First, I need you to investigate someone for me.
12:31Who?
12:31Lily Carter, everything about her.
12:33Three days.
12:34I'll have an answer for you in three days.
12:36Three days later, Jake came back the moment I saw him walk through the front doors of the
12:41main house.
12:41I knew something was wrong.
12:43His head was down.
12:44His shoulders slumped.
12:45All his usual fire gone.
12:47He walked into the living room, dropped into a chair, picked up a glass, and drained half
12:52of it.
12:52Then he said nothing.
12:53I had a servant take Sam out to the garden and sat across from Jake.
12:58You found something?
12:59Whose baby is it?
13:01I found out.
13:03Then tell me whose it is.
13:04Nora, can't we just say the baby is Rafe and leave it at that?
13:10What do you mean?
13:12Rafe didn't do anything wrong.
13:14Listen to me on this one.
13:15Let it go.
13:16He didn't do anything wrong?
13:18He brought home a pregnant woman and you're telling me he did nothing wrong?
13:21Jake fell silent.
13:24That afternoon, my parents arrived too.
13:25My father walked in, saw Rafe standing at the foot of the stairs, strode straight over,
13:30and slapped him across the face.
13:31Every guard nearby reached for a gun at once.
13:34Rafe lifted one hand.
13:36They all lowered their weapons again.
13:37He stood there without dodging.
13:39Papa.
13:40Don't call me papa.
13:42What did you promise in front of both families on the day you married my daughter?
13:46I remember it.
13:47If that baby is yours, then as of tonight, the alliance between the Valti and DeLuca families
13:52is over.
13:53Let's talk in the study.
13:54My father and mother followed Rafe inside.
13:57The doors and windows were shut.
13:59All I could hear was my father's voice, rising louder and louder.
14:02Then the room suddenly went quiet.
14:04A long time later, the door opened.
14:06My mother came out first.
14:08Take your mother's advice.
14:10Let this go.
14:11Do it for the child.
14:16My head buzzed.
14:18They had gone into that study one way and come out completely changed.
14:21What the hell had Rafe told them?
14:23Why should I let it go?
14:25You haven't even asked me what happened and you're already telling me to let it go?
14:29Because dropping this is best for everyone, especially you and Sam.
14:33I stared at her.
14:35Her eyes were firm.
14:36Then I looked at my father.
14:37He stood by the window with his back to me and the hand holding his gun was still trembling.
14:43If none of you will tell me, I'll find out myself.
14:45Enough!
14:46Stop investigating.
14:49I'm asking you one last time.
14:51Is the baby yours?
14:53I can't tell you.
14:55Fine.
14:57That night, after everyone left, Rafe stood outside my door.
15:01I didn't let him in.
15:02I held Sam and cried for a long time, tears dripping onto the back of his neck.
15:06Sam turned around.
15:07He was only four.
15:08He lifted his sleeve and wiped my face.
15:10Mommy.
15:12Yeah?
15:13Let's leave together.
15:14This place is bad.
15:16It makes Mommy sad.
15:18Mommy isn't happy here.
15:21That night, I packed one travel bag.
15:24I only took our documents, a few changes of clothes, and Sam's favorite storybook.
15:30At two in the morning, I carried Sam to the estate's side gate.
15:33A guard stopped me.
15:35Donna, the Don said no one is allowed to leave for the time being.
15:38I raised my hand and let him see the obsidian ring clearly.
15:41What?
15:42You listen when the Don speaks, but when the Donna gives an order, suddenly it means nothing.
15:48The guard's face changed.
15:50He lowered his head and opened the iron gate.
15:52The night wind slipped down my collar and I shivered from the cold.
15:55Mommy, where are we going?
15:57Away from here first.
15:59The next morning, Rafe came back from the port.
16:02Nora?
16:03No one answered.
16:04A sense of dread tightened in Rafe's chest.
16:06He pushed hard on the door.
16:08It swung open.
16:09The bed was cold.
16:10As if no one had slept in it all night, the closet stood open and half empty.
16:15Sam's pillow and storybook were gone too, his face slowly draining of color.
16:20At that moment, he finally understood.
16:22I had taken our son and left.
16:24Nora!
16:25How could you do something this reckless?
16:28The father of Lily's baby is...
16:33He stopped.
16:35His expression changed.
16:36Then Rafe swallowed the words that had almost escaped and spun toward the door, shouting,
16:41Lock down every exit!
16:42Rafe turned all of the city upside down, looking for me.
16:45He took a group of men to the bus station first, showing my photo to ticket agents one by one.
16:51Someone said they'd seen me carrying Sam onto a bus headed downtown.
16:56He rushed into the city and searched every hotel and rental apartment along the route.
17:02Vincent took two teams to the airport and the docks and pulled every piece of surveillance
17:07footage they could access.
17:08They searched all day and found nothing.
17:11That night, Rafe sat in the station waiting room and didn't leave until morning.
17:15He kept the obsidian ring clenched in his fist, the one I'd dropped after leaving the estate.
17:20By dawn, its edge had dug a bloody groove into his palm.
17:23The estate was in chaos too.
17:26What respectable Donna sneaks out in the middle of the night with the air?
17:31Her husband spent six months fighting a war, and she can't even tolerate one woman in the house.
17:37If she has the nerve to leave, she can forget about my son getting down on his knees to beg
17:41her to come back.
17:43He's the Don of this family.
17:45She doesn't care how much she humiliates her husband.
17:48The words had barely left her mouth when an ebony cane tapped lightly against the floor at the doorway.
17:53Don Salvatore stood there, leaning on his cane.
17:56The chapel storage room fell silent instantly.
18:02He had been retired for three years and rarely spoke unless necessary.
18:06None of the women expected him to appear in person.
18:09Nora is Rafe's wife.
18:11She's your daughter-in-law.
18:13Aren't you ashamed of standing here gossiping about her every day?
18:17She's the one being petty.
18:18So what if the Don has a mistress?
18:20What do you know?
18:22Bianca didn't dare say another word.
18:24Don Salvatore said nothing more.
18:26He turned and slowly walked away with his cane.
18:30Then again, the sound fading farther and farther away.
18:33That afternoon, Don Salvatore personally went to Rafe's study.
18:36When he came out, his expression was grim.
18:40Don Salvatore.
18:42Don't address me as Don.
18:44I mishandled this.
18:46Nora never should have been kept in the dark.
18:52He searched for me for two days.
18:54When he finally found Sam and me at a cheap hotel on the west side of the city,
18:58I was sharpening Sam's crayons.
19:00Sam lay over the table drawing a picture of an adult holding a child's hand.
19:06Uncle Jake.
19:11Jake sat across from me, pulled a black envelope from inside his coat,
19:14and slid it across the table.
19:15I opened it.
19:16Inside was a death certificate.
19:18Name.
19:18Michael Doyle.
19:20Dot of death.
19:20One week before Rafe returned to New Orleans.
19:24A photograph was clipped behind the certificate.
19:27In it, an unfamiliar man stood behind Lily, one hand resting on her still-flat stomach,
19:31while the other held a tiny pair of baby shoes still in their packaging.
19:35They were both smiling.
19:36Who is this?
19:37Michael Doyle.
19:38Rafe's head of security and one of the DeLucco family's most important associates.
19:43He wasn't a made man, but he'd worked for Rafe for nine years and saved his life twice.
19:47Jake pulled another piece of paper from his pocket, this one stained with blood.
19:52Don, I'm leaving Lily and the baby with you.
19:54Don't let Caruso find them.
19:55Michael, I clenched the paper in my hand.
19:57The baby's Michael's?
20:03Yes.
20:05After Caruso attacked the port, Michael had been investigating the mole inside the family.
20:11In the final ambush, he took two bullets for Rafe and killed the Caruso heir.
20:16He didn't survive the night.
20:20Michael and Lily never made their relationship public.
20:23Caruso only knew he'd left behind a pregnant woman.
20:25They didn't know who she was.
20:28They put the word out that they intended to wipe out Michael's bloodline, too.
20:31No wonder she'd looked at me that way in the kitchen.
20:34No wonder she'd looked so deeply hurt when she burst into tears.
20:37She hadn't come to steal my husband.
20:39She simply couldn't say the name of the man she loved who had died.
20:43Why did Rafe let everyone think the baby was his?
20:45Because there was still a mole inside the DeLuca family.
20:48As long as he didn't deny it, everyone would assume Lily was the Don's woman.
20:52No one would dare keep digging into her.
20:54Only after they found the mole and eliminated the killers Caruso left behind,
20:58could the truth come out.
21:00Why didn't you tell me before?
21:07Rafe didn't tell me.
21:09I found it out myself.
21:11What about Mom and Dad?
21:13Dad went after him with a gun.
21:14The two families almost went to war.
21:16Rafe had no choice but to tell him and make him swear on the honor of the Velati family
21:19that he would keep it secret.
21:20So you were allowed to investigate?
21:22Dad was allowed to point a gun at him and force the truth out of him.
21:25Vincent and Don Salvatore knew from the beginning,
21:27and the one person who had the greatest right to know the truth
21:29was the one all of you decided to lie to.
21:31No one, Rafe didn't betray you.
21:33He just couldn't tell you.
21:34You should forgive him.
21:35Couldn't tell me?
21:36Forgive him?
21:37I can understand why he couldn't tell me who Michael was.
21:40I can understand why he couldn't tell me he was hunting a mole,
21:43but he couldn't even tell me in private that the baby wasn't his.
21:46Do any of you understand how much the truth mattered?
21:48Who was the one people pointed at and insulted for two months?
21:52Who was the one Rafe's mother told to give up her son's room to a pregnant woman?
21:55Who tried to stand up and defend herself,
21:57only to have her husband physically hold her down?
21:59Did any of you ever think about how humiliated I was,
22:02and now you want me to forgive him?
22:03Dream on.
22:04Get out.
22:05I don't want to see you right now.
22:12Noor.
22:13If you don't leave, I'll take Sam and switch hotels right now.
22:21Rafe hasn't slept in two days.
22:23He seemed to sleep just fine during the two months everyone was insulting me.
22:27Jake said nothing else.
22:29I slammed the door in his face.
22:31That night, after Sam fell asleep, a crayon was still clutched in his hand.
22:35I gently pulled it free and picked up the picture he'd drawn.
22:38There were only two people in it.
22:39Sam and me.
22:40Two little figures, one big and one small,
22:43holding hands beneath the sun.
22:45I'd asked him where his father was.
22:47He'd said daddy was very far away.
22:49I folded the picture, turned off the light, and lay down.
22:56Next morning, I checked out of the hotel.
22:58I didn't go back to the DeLuca estate,
23:00and I didn't return to the Valenti home either.
23:02I sent Sam to stay with my mother for a while,
23:05and went alone to the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain.
23:08There was a private physical rehabilitation center there called Harbor House.
23:11My grandmother had left it to me.
23:13After I got married, I handed it over to professional management,
23:16and hadn't been back in six years.
23:18Mrs. Coleman, the director, was in her 50s,
23:21finished going through the past few years of accounts,
23:23then looked up at me.
23:25What brought you back all of a sudden?
23:27My husband has passed away.
23:29I told her my husband was dead.
23:31Mrs. Coleman didn't ask any more questions.
23:33She pushed a ring of keys across the desk.
23:36There's only enough money left to keep us running for two months.
23:38The East Wing leaks, the kitchen owes money to suppliers,
23:41and we're short six caregivers.
23:43Where do we start?
23:46With the unpaid wages.
23:51Working at Harbor House wasn't easy.
23:53I got to the office at six every morning.
23:55During the day I went through the books,
23:57called contractors, interviewed staff,
23:59and helped on the wards whenever we were shorthanded.
24:02Call bells rang nonstop.
24:03Carts rattled through the halls.
24:05Patients pressed their call buttons.
24:06Relatives argued, and nurses called for help.
24:09The noise never stopped.
24:10The first week, I got three blisters on my hands moving supplies,
24:13covered them with gauze, and kept working.
24:16By the second week, the blisters had turned into calluses.
24:19I sold several pieces of my personal jewelry,
24:22and used the money to cover the back pay owed to 27 employees.
24:26When my father found out, he called me.
24:29The Volante family isn't short on money.
24:32I know.
24:33Then why are you selling your own things?
24:37Because Harbor House is mine.
24:39The other end of the line was silent for a long time.
24:42You're really not coming back?
24:44No.
24:45My father hung up.
24:55The end of the month,
24:56Mrs. Coleman slid a piece of paper with an address across my desk.
24:59It was the apartment I'd asked her to help me find.
25:02It was right across from the rehab center.
25:04One bedroom, one living room, and a small balcony.
25:07I signed the lease that afternoon.
25:09That weekend, I went back to Galveston to pick up Sam.
25:12My parents were waiting in front of the estate.
25:14When my father saw me, his lips moved.
25:16What happened to your hands?
25:18Moving supplies.
25:20The next day, as I was leaving, my mother caught my sleeve.
25:23You're really not going back to Rafe?
25:26No.
25:27He came by the day before yesterday.
25:29He's lost a lot of weight.
25:30Every single one of them had helped keep the truth from me.
25:33None of them had the right to talk me into reconciling with him.
25:36No one at the DeLuca estate knew where I'd gone.
25:39They only knew that Rafe returned to the main house less and less.
25:42He spent his days at the port, slept in his study at night, and barely spoke to anyone
25:47even during meals.
25:48Vincent tried to talk to him once.
25:50Rafe shut the door in his face.
25:52Lily wasn't doing well either.
25:53One evening, she was carrying a plate of dessert toward the dining room.
25:57When her legs suddenly gave out beneath her, the plate shattered, cream splattering across
26:02the floor.
26:03After examining her, the doctor said she was malnourished.
26:06Her blood pressure was dangerously low, and the pregnancy was at serious risk.
26:10If things continued like this, she could lose the baby.
26:14When Bianca went to see her, she brought a basket of fruit.
26:17Lily leaned against the headboard, her face as white as the sheets.
26:21Bianca sat for a while before finally asking the question she'd been holding in for two
26:25months.
26:25Lily, tell me the truth.
26:27Whose baby are you carrying?
26:34Lily didn't take the fruit Bianca offered her.
26:37If the baby isn't Rafe's, why didn't you say so?
26:39The Don saved me.
26:41I can't ruin his plan.
26:44What about Nora?
26:47Every single day, I wanted to tell her.
26:49When Bianca returned from the clinic, she ran into Don Salvatore in the hallway.
26:53Salvador.
26:54Don Salvatore stood in front of her for a long moment.
26:57Bianca, when you married me, I told you one thing.
27:00Do you remember it?
27:01Bianca answered nervously.
27:03I remember.
27:04You said a Delina woman either helps hold the family together, or knows when to keep
27:09her mouth shut.
27:10For the past two months, you've done neither.
27:12You humiliated your own daughter-in-law over a girl whose background you didn't even know.
27:17I didn't know.
27:18Then that was even more reason to keep your mouth shut.
27:22Nora is the only person in this house who hasn't done a single thing wrong from beginning
27:27to end.
27:28Go ask Vincent.
27:29Once you have, think very carefully about what you're going to do next.
27:33By the time Bianca left the hallway, her legs were shaking.
27:35She went straight to Vincent's office.
27:37Lily's baby isn't Rafe's, is it?
27:39Vincent closed the file in front of him and didn't answer.
27:43Then whose baby is it?
27:45There are still things I can't tell you.
27:48Think about it yourself.
27:49If the baby really was the Dons, why did every man who came back from the Gulf Coast protect
27:53Lily, yet not one of them congratulate him?
27:56A living person's pride will never matter more than protecting the child of a dead man.
28:06Michael's belongings were returned to the estate.
28:09The package wasn't large.
28:10It was a metal box recovered from the burned warehouse.
28:13Rafe opened it.
28:14Inside were a neatly folded black suit, an old watch, a bill folded in half, and a letter
28:19that had never been sent.
28:20Lily's name was written on the envelope.
28:22Rafe opened the letter.
28:24If I don't make it back, tell my child his father didn't run away.
28:27I died trying to come home.
28:29Rafe took the letter to Vincent's study that two of them shut the door and stayed inside
28:34all afternoon.
28:35Vincent took apart the old watch and found a tiny folded ledger page hidden inside the casing.
28:40It listed several DeLuca shipments whose schedules had been leaked.
28:44The same initials were written beside every entry CG Carlo Greco, a capo responsible for
28:49coordinating the DeLuca port operations.
28:52That night, Carlo was caught while trying to leave New Orleans.
28:55He was dragged into the basement, still shouting that he'd served the DeLuca family for 20 years.
29:01Were you the one who sold our movements to Caruso before those attacks?
29:04Carlos stopped shouting.
29:06Using the addresses he gave up, DeLuca men found the last group of Carusas still hiding
29:11in the city.
29:12Before dawn, the threat was gone.
29:18The next morning, Don Salvatore ordered Vincent to summon every core member of the family to
29:23the private chapel.
29:24It wasn't a family meeting.
29:25It was a formal family tribunal presided over by Don Salvatore himself.
29:30The chapel was packed.
29:32Bianca sat in the front row.
29:34The women who had insulted me sat behind her.
29:36Rafe stood beside the altar instead of taking the Don's seat.
29:40That chair had been left for Don Salvatore.
29:42Don Salvatore walked slowly toward the altar, leaning on his ebony cane.
29:46He had been retired for three years.
29:48This was the first time in three years that he had sat in that old chair.
29:52I've been retired for three years.
29:55Today, I'm stepping into family business one more time.
29:59Because this time, the family owes a debt to one dead man and justice to one woman.
30:10Looked at Bianca, then at the Capos' wives, seated behind her.
30:15Vincent walked to the long table and placed three things on it.
30:19Michael's cufflinks, the farewell letter he'd written to Lily, and the bloodstained note
30:23entrusting Lily and the baby to Rafe.
30:25Michael Doyle was not a made man.
30:27For nine years, he carried out 27 operations for the DeLuca family and saved my son's life twice.
30:34The last time, he didn't come home alive.
30:41If I don't make it back, tell my child his father didn't run away.
30:46I died trying to come home.
30:49The woman the Don brought back from the Gulf Coast was not his mistress.
30:53She was the fiancé of a man who died for the DeLuca family, and she was carrying his child.
31:02The handkerchief slipped from Bianca's hand.
31:08Until Carlo was caught and the killers were eliminated,
31:11anyone learning the child's identity would have put Lily and the baby in mortal danger.
31:16That's why the Don couldn't explain publicly.
31:22I was the one who ordered everyone to believe Lily was my woman.
31:26I take responsibility for every consequence.
31:31Over the past two months, several people in this house said ugly things to the Donna's face.
31:37I won't name names.
31:39If you were one of them, stand up!
31:41After a long time, two Capo's wives stood first.
31:45We're sorry.
31:46We were wrong.
31:47Then four more stood.
31:48Then five.
31:50Bianca was the last.
31:52She slowly rose from the front row and turned to face the entire chapel.
31:55I'm Rafe's mother.
31:57I tried to force Nora to give Lily her son's room.
32:02I humiliated her in public at the charity committee meeting.
32:07Everyone in this house who spoke badly about Nora followed my lead.
32:11I was wrong.
32:14Don Salvatore watched her in silence for a long time.
32:17Tell Nora that.
32:19Not us.
32:25After the tribunal ended, Bianca didn't leave right away.
32:28She stood for a long time staring at the empty seat reserved for the Donna beside the altar
32:32as tears kept slipping down her cheeks.
32:35Three days later, she wrote me a letter by hand.
32:37She wrote that if I was willing to come back, she would move out of the main house and hand
32:42over the estate keys, along with everything that belonged to the Donna.
32:46If I still couldn't forgive her, she would come kneel before me herself.
32:50By the end of the letter, the ink had bled across the page.
32:54Gabriel came to Harbor House with two men.
32:56At the time, I was pushing a cart of clean sheets toward the inpatient wing.
33:00Mrs. Coleman called me twice from the end of the hallway before I heard her.
33:04I handed the cart to a caregiver and went outside.
33:08Donna, two days ago, Don Salvadori personally presided over a family tribunal in the chapel
33:13and explained everything.
33:15Michael saved the Don's life.
33:16Lily and the baby were both entrusted to him by Michael.
33:19Bianca and the others were all there.
33:20Don Salvadori ordered Bianca to apologize to you herself.
33:28Opened Bianca's letter, read it, then folded it again.
33:31She said that if you'd come back, she'd move out.
33:34And she said if you want her to kneel, she'll come and kneel before you herself.
33:39Tell her she doesn't need to kneel.
33:43Then when are you coming back to the estate?
33:45I never said I was going back.
33:47But the baby isn't the Don's.
33:49I know.
33:51The Don never touched Lily either.
33:53I know.
33:54Then why...
33:57Because my shift isn't over yet.
34:03For me, myetic woman, I'm gonna smell them now.
34:07Because I'm not départ.
34:07I'm notah chick at the house.
34:14I'm not a bad guy, but I don't want to sit now well.
34:14I'm not even one thing I got to go back.
34:14I'm not an bicycle.
34:14I'm not a complete four-life mom, I'm not a big man.
34:14Let it all go back.
34:17You
