04:36You have to take these
09:32Il n'est pas le droit pour vous.
09:35Si vous n'entendez pas avec lui,
09:37ne contactez pas cette famille jamais encore.
09:39Je me suis resté dans un état d'angueur,
09:41sans qu'il ne l'aura pas encore.
09:42Dans ce moment,
09:44je ne pouvais pas garder ça en plus longtemps.
09:46Je me suis resté dans la face
09:48dans la blanquette et j'ai crié.
09:49Puis, sur la ligne de l'encrypte,
09:51je lui ai dit tout ce qui s'est passé
09:53ces derniers jours.
09:54Puis, je lui ai dit mon plan.
09:56Je lui ai dit qu'il voulait
09:56faire leur anniversaire plot
09:58back à eux.
09:58Je ne suis pas besoin de leur people.
10:00The other end was silent
10:01for a long time.
10:03Then one word came back.
10:05Good.
10:07On the day of the anniversary,
10:09I was taken to the private racetrack
10:10under the Castellano family's name
10:12and seated alone inside a race car.
10:14Do you feel unwell anywhere?
10:15I shook my head,
10:16pretending not to notice
10:18the spectacle around us.
10:19Why are there so many people here?
10:20Looks like some kind of ceremony.
10:22His eyes flickered.
10:23In the end,
10:24he only reached out
10:25and touched my head.
10:26It's a surprise I prepared for you.
10:27Then he turned and strode away.
10:29I watched his back
10:30and smiled silently.
10:31Cassian,
10:32I gave you one last chance.
10:35You didn't take it.
10:36I immediately lowered my head
10:37and checked the car.
10:38The brake line had been tampered with
10:40very subtly,
10:41but not well enough to fool me.
10:43Cassian didn't know
10:43that before I came to Latin America,
10:45I had spent three years
10:46running tracks.
10:47In the Moretti family's
10:48underground training facility,
10:50a woman in a white dress
10:51appeared before the crowd.
10:52Holding Cassian's hand,
10:54I recognized her.
10:56Sophia.
10:58Look how awful she looks.
11:00That's what she gets
11:01for not helping Sophia back then.
11:02A ceremony
11:04and a race afterward.
11:05This is going to be fun.
11:07But on a lost,
11:08bewildered expression,
11:09in the next second,
11:10someone pressed the button
11:11in his hand,
11:12and the car shall roll
11:13and run around through.
11:15Roar of the engines
11:16swallowed the cheers
11:17and cheers behind him.
11:18A car charged
11:19along the track
11:20to the bank.
11:21A number of seconds.
11:22Five,
11:23four,
11:24three,
11:25five,
11:25in the blind spot.
11:27I brought it smoothly
11:28to a stop.
11:29The Moretti family's
11:30people were already
11:31waiting for me.
11:32Two agents silently
11:33got me into a black SUV.
11:34Once we had withdrawn
11:35to a safe distance,
11:37a deafening boom
11:38had torn behind us.
11:39Flames burst high
11:40in the room.
11:41A smoke woke up.
11:43Fragments flying everywhere.
11:44The race car blew apart
11:46in the towering fire.
11:47A charred body arranged
11:48in advance
11:49was left inside the refuge.
11:50At that moment,
11:52in all of their eyes,
11:53Valentina Reyes
11:54was dead.
11:59Valentina!
12:02The moment the risk
12:03blew up the track.
12:04It went flying!
12:06Think she passed out
12:07from fear?
12:08Doesn't she look
12:08like a cannonball?
12:09Sophia laughed
12:10until she bent over.
12:11Then a ton of
12:12power blows up
12:13and the energy
12:13from her eyes.
12:14The shockwave
12:15from the explosion
12:16swept over the track.
12:17All color drained
12:19from Cassian's face
12:20in a single second.
12:21What did you do?
12:23It had nothing
12:24to do with me.
12:24I don't know anything.
12:25The other participants
12:26retreated several steps
12:27as well,
12:28their faces bloodless.
12:30Cassian shoved
12:30the man away
12:31and ran toward
12:32the explosion.
12:33Sophia hurriedly
12:34grabbed his arm.
12:35Are you insane?
12:36We don't even know
12:36if there'll be
12:37a second explosion.
12:38What are you running
12:38over there for?
12:39Her expression
12:40turning vicious,
12:41as if she did not
12:42care at all.
12:43Besides,
12:43so what if it blew up?
12:45Didn't she deserve it?
12:46Cassian turned back
12:47in disbelief.
12:48What are you saying?
12:50Did I say something wrong?
12:52She was only ever again.
12:54What about her?
12:55What about
12:56what of her life?
12:57Does she not even
12:58have the right to live?
13:00His roar stunned
13:00everyone present,
13:01but none of the enforcers
13:03around him dared let go.
13:04The rescue team
13:05and fighting security
13:06arrived together,
13:07bringing firefighting equipment.
13:08Let me go!
13:09Anyone who stops me
13:10is dead!
13:11and thoroughly
13:12dousing the wreckage area.
13:14After the flames went out,
13:16they carried out
13:17a body burned black.
13:19No!
13:20Cassian broke violently
13:22free from everyone's grip
13:23and stumbled to the wreckage.
13:25He dropped to his knees
13:26and carefully gathered
13:27the charred body
13:28into his arms.
13:29This bracelet took me
13:30so long to make.
13:31You'd better treasure it.
13:32It was the couple's bracelet
13:33Valentina had made by hand.
13:35Sometime earlier,
13:36she had given it to him.
13:39He had not lifted
13:40his head then,
13:40only hummed absently.
13:42She had come closer,
13:43leaning in front of him,
13:44her eyes bright.
13:45When will you be willing
13:46to marry me?
13:47Cassian had hesitated.
13:48He had looked at her,
13:49at her radiant smile,
13:50and unconsciously touched
13:51the side of her face.
13:53He had imagined
13:53exchanging rings with her
13:55in some seaside chapel
13:56no one knew about,
13:57imagined what she would look like
13:58in a white wedding dress.
14:00But the phone had rung,
14:01seeing his father's name
14:02on the screen.
14:02He had said nothing,
14:03and he had not taken the bracelet.
14:05But Valentina had kept wearing it.
14:06Cassian knelt in the muddy water,
14:08his body shaking uncontrollably.
14:10Val, no!
14:12This isn't real!
14:13The sky suddenly darkened,
14:14and without warning,
14:15rain poured down in sheets.
14:17Rain washed the ground,
14:18washed the wreckage,
14:19washed the blackened body
14:20in his arms.
14:21On Cassian's face,
14:22rain mixed with tears.
14:24Why?
14:25Why couldn't you wait for me?
14:27Valentina,
14:28I had already decided.
14:30Once all of this was over,
14:31I was going to apologize properly.
14:33I was going to beg you
14:34to forgive me.
14:36then I would tell you
14:37the whole truth.
14:38I wasn't really going to marry Sophia.
14:40I was going to clean out
14:41every accomplice around me, too.
14:43We were going to start over.
14:45We were supposed to have
14:46a new beginning.
14:48Why did you?
14:49In that instant,
14:50he remembered the last look
14:52she had given him
14:53before setting off
14:54at the racetrack.
14:54It had been calm,
14:55too calm for her.
14:56Those amber eyes
14:57had looked at him quietly.
14:58He understood.
14:59So that's it?
15:01You already knew.
15:03He laughed and cried
15:04at the same time.
15:05No one behind him
15:05dared come near.
15:06Only when the rain eased
15:07did Cassian stagger away,
15:09carrying the charred body
15:10in his arms.
15:11I'm going to bury my wife.
15:12He repeated it,
15:13his voice hoarse
15:14as if rubbed raw
15:15by sandpaper.
15:16Sophia stumbled after him,
15:17her skirt dragging
15:18through the mud.
15:19Stained with gray,
15:20black filth,
15:20she grabbed Cassian's arm,
15:22furious.
15:22What did you say?
15:24What are you doing?
15:27Cassian,
15:28I'm your fiancé.
15:29We've been together
15:30since we were 14!
15:32What is she?
15:34She's just a tool
15:35you use for fun.
15:36She's our enemy!
15:38I won't let you hold her!
15:40She reached out
15:40to shove the body
15:41in Cassian's arms.
15:42Cassian shoved her away.
15:45Sophia fell bodily
15:46into the standing water,
15:48her white dress
15:49soaked through.
15:49When she looked up
15:50and saw Cassian's eyes,
15:51she shrank back on instinct.
15:53Get out.
15:53Only those two words.
15:55Sophia opened her mouth
15:56but said nothing.
15:56She watched him disappear
15:57into the end of the downpour.
15:59with the body in his arms.
16:00Cassian drove alone,
16:02taking the body
16:02to a mountaintop cemetery
16:04outside Bogota,
16:05private land belonging
16:06to the Castellano family
16:07with the entire city
16:08spread below.
16:09He personally chose
16:10an east-facing plot.
16:12I know, Valentina.
16:14You always loved
16:15the morning sun best.
16:16His eyes were full
16:16of tenderness.
16:17It was nearly dusk.
16:18A crack opened
16:19in the lead-gray clouds
16:20and the last sliver
16:21of sunlight fell across
16:22the newly-raised headstone.
16:24Cassian knelt
16:24and kissed the stone.
16:25I'm sorry.
16:26He sat before the grave
16:27the entire night.
16:28At dawn the next day,
16:29he returned to the apartment
16:30like a shell
16:31with its soul ripped out.
16:32The instant he pushed
16:33open the door,
16:34he froze.
16:34He walked inside
16:35and it felt as if Valentina
16:36were right beside him,
16:38introducing everything.
16:38I remember you said
16:40the lockers at racetrack
16:41changing room
16:42were too small.
16:43From now on,
16:44all your racing suits
16:44and helmets
16:45can hang in the entryway.
16:47And then this whole display wall
16:49on the left side
16:49of the living room.
16:50I arranged all your trophies
16:52and medals by year.
16:53I wiped every single one clean.
16:56The dining table
16:57is dark walnut
16:58and the sofa
16:59is the dark gray you like.
17:01And the fridge!
17:03He remembered Valentina
17:04handing him a beer.
17:06It's that Mexican dark beer
17:07you always drink.
17:08He walked into her closet.
17:09She did not have many clothes,
17:11most of them inexpensive brands
17:12she had bought herself
17:13folded neatly.
17:14In the corner
17:14was a blue silk scarf.
17:16He remembered
17:17she always liked
17:17tying her hair with it.
17:19She loved blue,
17:20but there was not a trace
17:21of blue in this apartment.
17:22Cassian opened the fridge.
17:23Inside,
17:24Mexican dark beers
17:25were lined up neatly.
17:26Beside them
17:27sat only one small bottle
17:28of sparkling water.
17:30He closed the fridge door
17:31and rested his forehead
17:32against the cold metal panel.
17:33Standing there
17:34for a long time,
17:35for the next half month,
17:36he stopped going to the company,
17:37stopped taking calls,
17:38stopped seeing anyone.
17:39When his assistant called,
17:40he would order directly.
17:42Call again,
17:43and I'll have someone
17:44throw you into the sea.
17:45Every night,
17:45he opened Valentina's closet,
17:47took out the clothes
17:48she had worn one by one,
17:49and piled them
17:50on the other half of the bed.
17:51Then he lay down
17:52and held the clothes
17:52in his arms
17:53late on the sixteenth night.
17:55He seemed to be dreaming.
17:56Valentina wore a lace floral slip dress
17:57and walked barefoot
17:58through the sunlight toward him.
18:00Her hair was long,
18:01curled in waves
18:01he had never seen before,
18:03falling on either side
18:04of her collarbones
18:05and swaying softly
18:06with each step.
18:08Cassian stood frozen,
18:10his throat tightening.
18:11He reached out
18:11and pulled her hard
18:12into his arms.
18:13He desperately breathed
18:14in the scent of her hair.
18:15His voice was very,
18:17very low.
18:17Val,
18:18it's been half a month.
18:20This is the first time
18:21you've come to see me.
18:23I missed you so much.
18:25She said nothing,
18:26only buried her face
18:27in the hollow of his neck.
18:28Her wavy hair brushed his jaw.
18:30He frowned without thinking.
18:31It feels so real.
18:33The next second,
18:33Cassian's eyes snapped open.
18:35In the darkness,
18:36there really was a woman
18:37pressed against him.
18:38Long, wavy hair
18:39spilled across his chest.
18:40She wore a floral slip dress,
18:42exactly like the one
18:43in the dream.
18:44He grabbed the wrist of the hand,
18:45sliding toward his waist,
18:47threw back the covers,
18:48and hurled the body
18:49off the bed.
18:49Who are you?
18:50The woman slowly lifted
18:51her head from the floor.
18:52It was Sofia Ferraro.
18:53She had always had
18:54sleek, straight hair,
18:55but tonight,
18:56she had curled it into waves.
18:58The style, color,
18:59even the width of the straps
19:00on the floral slip dress
19:01were identical to Valentina's.
19:03She knelt on the floor
19:04and looked up at him
19:04with wet eyes.
19:06Cassian,
19:07don't you like me like this?
19:08Cassian sprang off the bed
19:10and crossed the room
19:11in one stride.
19:11The corners of Sofia's mouth
19:13had just begun to lift
19:14when they froze.
19:15Cassian's five fingers
19:16locked around her throat,
19:17and he slammed
19:18her whole body
19:19into the wall.
19:21Pits of plaster
19:22fell into her curled hair.
19:23Who taught you this?
19:24All color vanished
19:25from Sofia's face
19:26in an instant.
19:27She slapped frantically
19:28at his forearm.
19:29Her eyes bloodshot
19:30from lack of hair.
19:31No one!
19:32I did it myself!
19:33He loosened his grip
19:34by an inch,
19:35just enough for her
19:35to take a breath.
19:36Sofia gasped desperately.
19:38Cassian,
19:38you haven't contacted me
19:39in more than half a week.
19:42You don't answer calls,
19:44you don't reply to messages.
19:45I went to the company
19:46to find you,
19:47and they said
19:48you hadn't shown up
19:49in two weeks.
19:50She swallowed,
19:51her throat moving
19:51under his palm.
19:53I only did this
19:54because I missed you
19:55too much.
19:56Cassian sneered,
19:57looking over the floral dress
19:58she wore.
19:59You dressed like her,
20:00wore her perfume,
20:01and climbed into my bed
20:02in the middle of the night.
20:04Who doesn't know
20:05what you're trying to do?
20:07Sofia,
20:08you really are tired of living.
20:10Sofia's tears ran down
20:11through his fingers.
20:12I'm sorry.
20:14I just thought
20:14it looked pretty.
20:15I didn't know Valentina
20:17dressed like this too.
20:18Before she finished,
20:19she worked up the nerve
20:19to rub her calf
20:20against his thigh,
20:21pressing her whole body
20:22into him.
20:23Just pity me.
20:25Cassian's pupils contracted.
20:26The next second,
20:27he freed one hand,
20:28grabbed the calf
20:28trying to coil around him,
20:29and twisted his wrist.
20:31The sound of bone-breaking
20:32was bravely clear
20:33in the silent bedroom.
20:34Sofia's scream
20:34nearly tore the room apart.
20:36Cold sweat instantly
20:37beaded across her forehead,
20:39and her convulsing body
20:40slid from his hand
20:41to the floor.
20:41Cassian,
20:42what's wrong with you?
20:44Don't you remember
20:45what we had?
20:46She trembled,
20:46her voice so shattered
20:47it could barely
20:48form a sentence.
20:49When we were eighteen,
20:51you gave me
20:52a birthday present,
20:53a silver necklace.
20:53You said you'd always
20:55protect me.
20:56We watched the sunset
20:58on the library roof,
20:59and you kissed my forehead.
21:01The more she spoke,
21:02the harder Cassian
21:03pressed his foot down
21:03on her other leg.
21:04Go on.
21:05His voice was ice.
21:06Keep talking
21:07until you think I'll soften.
21:08I'd like to see
21:09what comes first.
21:11My sympathy,
21:12or this leg breaking?
21:13He had barely finished speaking.
21:14A second crack rang out.
21:15Sofia's mouth
21:16stretched wide open.
21:19Cassian took a step back
21:20and looked down
21:21at the woman on the floor,
21:22both her legs twisted
21:23at unnatural angles.
21:24She gulped for air,
21:25her eyes full of terror.
21:26No.
21:27Cass, please.
21:28My legs, no.
21:30Cassian's expression
21:31did not change
21:31in the slightest.
21:32He bent,
21:33seized her ankle
21:34with one hand,
21:34and dragged Sofia
21:35from the bedroom
21:36toward the front door.
21:37Her back scraped
21:38across the marble floor,
21:39and the hem of her floral dress
21:40was already soaked
21:41through with blood.
21:42Cassian, please.
21:44Her fingers clawed
21:45desperately at the floor.
21:46Several nails broke,
21:47leaving shallow streaks
21:48of blood behind.
21:49I'll never do it again.
21:51I swear.
21:52Please don't throw me away.
21:54Cassian did not look back.
21:56He opened the front door,
21:57threw her into the cold light
21:58of the hallway,
21:59and took out his phone
22:00and dialed a number.
22:02Come pick her up.
22:03The Ferraro family's butler
22:04sounded panicked
22:05on the other end.
22:06Young Castellino, what?
22:07From tonight on,
22:08Sofia Ferrado
22:09has nothing to do
22:10with the Castellino family.
22:11Cassian had only disgust left.
22:13My engagement
22:14to Sofia Ferrani is over.
22:16We have nothing to do
22:16with each other anymore.
22:18Come clean the trash
22:18from my doorstep quickly,
22:20or I can't guarantee
22:21she'll only lose
22:22the use of her legs.
22:23And he hung up.
22:24Before closing the door,
22:25he gave Sofia one last look.
22:26She was curled
22:27on the hallway tiles,
22:28both calves twisted
22:29at unnatural angles.
22:31Her waves spilled
22:31across the floor,
22:32and large patches of blood
22:34on her floral dress
22:34were clotting into black.
22:36She was still crying,
22:37but she no longer begged.
22:38She clamped both hands
22:39over her mouth,
22:39terrified of making
22:40too much noise.
22:41The door closed.
22:42The lock clipped into place.
22:44Soon,
22:44a car from the Ferraro family
22:45stopped below the apartment building
22:47for 20 minutes.
22:48People came up.
22:49People went down,
22:49and the blood in the hallway
22:50was washed clean.
22:52No one dared pause.
22:54For the next half month,
22:56Cassian began his purge.
22:57The first to fall
22:58was Matteo.
22:59He was the one
23:00who had suggested
23:00arranging the ceremony
23:01at the racetrack,
23:02so Valentina could witness
23:03the engagement
23:04with her own eyes.
23:05And he had also suggested
23:06sabotaging the brakes.
23:07The Castellano family's
23:09legal team
23:09sent him to prison
23:10on money laundering charges.
23:11Within 48 hours,
23:13three companies under his name
23:14were frozen by the courts,
23:15and his wife fled back to Mexico
23:17with their children overnight.
23:18The second was Diego.
23:20He had been responsible
23:21for cutting the call button wire
23:22at the hospital,
23:23and he had recorded the video
23:24and sent it to Sofia.
23:25Cassian had people
23:26shut down the four nightclubs he ran,
23:28then delivered years
23:29of corruption evidence
23:30against Diego's uncle,
23:31a politician in Bogota,
23:33to the media all at once.
23:34On the day his uncle
23:35was removed from office,
23:36Diego knelt outside
23:37the Castellano ancestral estate
23:39and knocked his forehead
23:40to the ground 300 times
23:42until it was split and bloody.
23:44The door never opened for him.
23:45The third, the fourth, the fifth.
23:48Cassian settled accounts
23:49one by one.
23:50Some people were driven
23:51into a corner
23:51and knelt before Cassian
23:53with their whole families.
23:54Cass, we really know
23:55we were wrong.
23:56Please spare my family,
23:57they only want to live.
23:58Hit me, curse me, anything.
24:00But don't go after them.
24:01Cassian sat on the sofa,
24:03slowly turning a bullet casing
24:04between his fingers.
24:05You want your family left alone?
24:07Fine.
24:08Kill yourself.
24:09No one dared gamble
24:10on whether he meant it,
24:11but there were always people
24:12forced to the edge of the cliff.
24:14The first to jump
24:15was a young man named Felipe.
24:16He had once been a technician
24:17on Cassian's racing team.
24:19At the estate,
24:20he had guarded Valentina
24:21after she was beaten
24:22and had kicked her
24:23a few times for amusement.
24:24He leapt from the rooftop
24:25of one of the family's office buildings,
24:27leaving only one sentence
24:28in his suicide note.
24:29I'm sorry,
24:30Cassian kept his promise.
24:31That same day,
24:32Felipe's family received enough money
24:34to spend for three lifetimes.
24:36After the news spread,
24:37two more people
24:38voluntarily fell from high places.
24:40Their families received the same amount.
24:42The entire underground order
24:43of Bogota collapsed.
24:46After the third bond fell from a rooftop,
24:49Ricardo Castellano finally intervened.
24:52The old Don sent the finest guards
24:53from the ancestral estate.
24:55Twelve men with guns
24:56broke into Cassian's apartment
24:58and pinned him to the floor.
24:59They took all his communication devices
25:01and weapons,
25:02then escorted him back
25:03to the Castellano ancestral estate
25:04in an armored car.
25:06The basement door was locked
25:07from the outside.
25:08Three days and three nights.
25:09No food, no water,
25:11only a stark white fluorescent tube overhead,
25:13and concrete walls
25:14on all four sides.
25:15On the morning of the fourth day,
25:17the door opened.
25:17Ricardo stood in the doorway
25:19with two personal guards behind him.
25:21He looked at his son
25:22crouched in the corner.
25:23His shirt was wrinkled into a mess.
25:24Uneven stubble covered his jaw.
25:26His eyes were sunken,
25:28and he was thin
25:28as a living skeleton.
25:29Do you know what you did wrong?
25:31Cassian did not answer.
25:32He leaned against the wall,
25:33staring hollowly
25:34at the opposite wall.
25:35Ricardo's voice carried
25:36the restrained fury,
25:37particular to an old generation Don.
25:40For a dead woman,
25:41you turned half of Bogodoss upside down.
25:44Three lives,
25:44two family supply chains broken,
25:46and the committee's prosecutors
25:47have already started
25:48paying attention to us.
25:49How am I supposed to trust you
25:50with Castellano's future?
25:52Cassian still did not speak.
25:53His fingers unconsciously rubbed
25:55the protruding bones of his wrist.
25:57She liked my hands best.
25:58And his lips moving faintly.
26:00They don't look good anymore.
26:01Ricardo stared at him for a long time,
26:03then shook his head.
26:04Then he turned and gestured to a guard.
26:06A thick, cracked paper file
26:07was handed to Cassian
26:08and tossed onto the cold cement floor
26:10with a dull smack.
26:11Look for yourself.
26:12Cassian lowered his head
26:14and sluggishly reached out
26:15to open the seal.
26:16Inside was a stack of photographs
26:17and several reports.
26:19In the photos,
26:19a woman in a denim jacket,
26:21with her long hair tied in a ponytail,
26:23was walking down the stairs
26:24of a private jet.
26:25Behind her was a sunlit tarmac
26:27with palm trees
26:28and a blue coastline
26:29visible in the distance.
26:30Miami.
26:31He recognized that back,
26:32the back he had held countless times.
26:34Valentina.
26:35Your dear girlfriend
26:37isn't dead at all.
26:40The charred body
26:42in the race car
26:42was a substitute.
26:43Her family arranged everything.
26:48They pulled off
26:49a vanishing act
26:50right under your nose.
26:51And then she took
26:52a private plane
26:53back to Miami.
26:54Do you know
26:54who her family is?
27:02Moretti.
27:02the head of America's
27:04five Camelies.
27:08You thought she was
27:09an ordinary
27:10international student?
27:13She's that family's
27:14only daughter.
27:15Cassian's pupils
27:16shrank sharply.
27:17The photographs in his hand
27:18began to tremble violently.
27:20He flipped through them
27:21one by one.
27:23Valentina
27:24walking off the plane.
27:25Valentina
27:26being embraced
27:26by a tall man
27:27getting into a black
27:28armored SUV.
27:29His eyes burned
27:30and tears fell.
27:33His lips trembled
27:34several times
27:35before he forced out
27:36a broken breath of sound.
27:38She's alive.
27:40What do you plan to do now?
27:42Run to Miami
27:43to find her?
27:46The Moretti family
27:47shoot you full of holes
27:48and carry you back?
27:52Cassian did not hear
27:53his father.
27:54He clutched the photos
27:55tightly to his chest,
27:57pressed his forehead
27:58to the cold cement floor,
27:59and shook hard
28:00through the shoulders.
28:01She's alive.
28:04She's alive.
28:05He repeated the sentence
28:07again and again.
28:09Miami's sunlight
28:09fell over the Moretti
28:10private jet.
28:11When I walked down
28:11the stairs,
28:12there was only one person
28:13on the tarmac.
28:14Marco stood there
28:15in a crisp suit,
28:16sunglasses pushed up
28:17onto his forehead.
28:18The instant he saw me,
28:19the corner of his mouth
28:20twitched,
28:20then he strode over
28:21and pulled me
28:22into his arms.
28:23You're home.
28:24That's what matters.
28:25My tears soaked
28:26a large patch
28:27into the front of his suit.
28:28He let me go,
28:28stepped back,
28:29and looked me over
28:30from head to toe
28:31when he saw the bruises
28:32that had not yet faded
28:33from my arms
28:34and the gauze
28:34wrapped around my fingers.
28:35His gaze darkened
28:36for an instant,
28:37but he asked nothing.
28:38He only took off
28:38his sunglasses
28:39and put them on me.
28:40Come on.
28:42Mom is waiting
28:42for you to eat.
28:43The armored SUV
28:44stopped at the entrance
28:45of the estate.
28:45I took a deep breath
28:46and opened the door.
28:47Elena stood before
28:48the living room's
28:48floor-to-ceiling windows.
28:50With her back
28:50to the entrance,
28:51she wore a dark,
28:52blue,
28:52silk blouse,
28:53and she heard
28:53my footsteps.
28:54She did not turn around.
28:56You're back?
28:56I stood behind her,
28:58twisting the hem
28:58of my clothes
28:59and my hands.
29:00Mom.
29:00She turned.
29:01I saw that her eyes
29:02were red,
29:02but her voice
29:03was still cold
29:03and hard.
29:05It took you
29:06almost a hundred times
29:07of being played
29:07before you knew
29:08to come home.
29:10Anyone else
29:10would have woken up
29:11after the first.
29:13I-
29:14She stepped forward
29:15and jabbed a finger
29:16against my forehead.
29:17You what?
29:17Is your brain
29:18only there for decoration?
29:19A daughter of the Moretti family
29:21was made a fool of
29:22for three years.
29:23If word gets out,
29:24where is the whole family
29:24supposed to put its fate?
29:25Enough.
29:26Stop scolding her.
29:27She's home
29:28and that's what matters.
29:30But your mother is right.
29:32Falling in love
29:32to the point
29:33of disowning
29:33your whole family
29:34was ridiculous.
29:35My nose stung.
29:36Mom, I'm sorry.
29:38I'll never do it again.
29:40Her body stiffened
29:40for one second,
29:41then one hand
29:42settled gently
29:42on the back of my head.
29:44Go wash your hands
29:45and eat.
29:46Your room has been made up.
29:47I lifted my head
29:48and saw her
29:49turn her face away,
29:50wiping a tear
29:51from her cheek.
29:52Come on.
29:53Mom made
29:53your favorite pasta.
29:56Marco stood
29:57at the dining room entrance
29:58and made a hurrying gesture
29:59at me.
30:00It won't be good
30:00if it gets cold.
30:01The family sat
30:02around the table.
30:03Outside the window
30:04was Miami's
30:04endless bright sunshine.
30:06Dad served food
30:06to Marco
30:07and Elena ladled soup
30:08for me.
30:09It was as if
30:09I had never left.
30:11Marco's wedding
30:12was set
30:12at the seaside estate.
30:13The December sun
30:14in Miami
30:15was still generous,
30:16shining through
30:16the white canopy
30:17until it was
30:18almost translucent.
30:19I stood
30:19in the dressing room
30:20pinning the last
30:21pearl hairpin
30:21into Nancy's veil.
30:23She smiled
30:23at me in the mirror.
30:24Nervous?
30:28Not nervous.
30:29But what about you?
30:32Why are your eyes
30:33a little red?
30:34They're not.
30:35It's the light.
30:36Just then,
30:37the door opened
30:38and opened.
30:39Elena walked in,
30:40her face
30:41extremely grim.
30:44Valentina.
30:44I slowly set down
30:45the hairpin
30:46in my hand.
30:46Who's here?
30:47Go see for yourself.
30:48I crossed the hallway,
30:50my heels clicking
30:50against the marble floor.
30:52In the sunlight
30:52at the end of the corridor
30:53stood a man,
30:54Cassian.
30:55He had lost weight.
30:55His suit hung loose on him.
30:56His shirt collar
30:57a size too big.
30:58The lines of his collarbones
30:59sharp and clear.
31:00In his hands
31:00was a bouquet
31:01of white roses.
31:02The instant he saw me,
31:03it was as if
31:04electricity had struck
31:05through him.
31:05Val.
31:06I stopped five paces
31:07from him and went
31:08no farther.
31:08Who let you in?
31:09He opened his mouth.
31:10I looked for you
31:11for a long time.
31:12And you found me.
31:14My voice was calmer
31:15than I expected.
31:15Now what?
31:16Are you here
31:16for your hundred
31:17and firth prank?
31:18No.
31:20I know I was wrong.
31:21Those things.
31:22Which things?
31:23He instinctively
31:24took half a step back.
31:25The 97 times
31:27you toiled with me?
31:29Making me watch
31:30you get engaged
31:31to another woman
31:31at the racetrack?
31:33Or
31:35drugging me
31:36until I nearly
31:37became an idiot.
31:38His breathing
31:38suddenly turned ragged.
31:40His throat
31:40worked up and down.
31:42Heavy footsteps
31:42came from the end
31:43of the corridor.
31:44Marco appeared
31:45around the corner.
31:45The instant
31:46he saw Cassian
31:47and his face
31:47darkened.
31:48How the fuck
31:49did you get in here?
31:51He strode over,
31:52grabbed Cassian
31:52by the collar
31:53and yanked him
31:54away from me.
31:54The four guards
31:55closed in
31:55at the same time.
31:56Marco.
31:57Don Moretti.
31:58Cassian did not struggle.
31:59He only pulled
32:00a gold embossed invitation
32:01from the inside pocket
32:02of his suit.
32:03I was invited.
32:04Marco snatched
32:05the invitation away
32:05and saw the signature
32:06on it belong
32:07to the Rivera family.
32:08Marco looked at me
32:09with a frown.
32:09Nancy's family?
32:10I only shook my head.
32:12He turned
32:12and tore the invitation
32:13in half,
32:13throwing it to the floor.
32:15I don't care
32:15who invited you.
32:18Today is my wedding.
32:20You sit quietly
32:21in the last row
32:22and do not go near
32:23my sister.
32:24Otherwise,
32:28these four guns
32:29are not decorations.
32:31But I turned away
32:32and walked straight
32:33toward the banquet hall.
32:34The ceremony
32:34went smoothly
32:35and Marco and Nancy
32:36exchanged vows
32:37before the priest.
32:38applause and whistles
32:39filled the room.
32:40I stood in my
32:40bridesmaid's place,
32:41smiling and clapping.
32:43Cassian sat in the corner
32:44of the last row,
32:45staring at me
32:45without moving.
32:46But when I passed
32:46a table of guests
32:47with a glass in my hand,
32:49a thin figure
32:50suddenly appeared
32:50in front of me.
32:51Congratulations.
32:53Your brother
32:54looks very happy.
32:55I looked up.
32:55Cassian stood there
32:56with a glass of champagne
32:57in his hand,
32:58looking painfully nervous.
32:59I did not answer
33:00and turned to leave.
33:01He suddenly spoke,
33:02his voice light
33:03as a breath of wind.
33:04I thought about
33:05our wedding too.
33:05The air froze for a second.
33:07I turned back
33:07and threw the glass
33:08of red wine
33:09in my hand
33:09into his face.
33:10Glass and all.
33:13The entire room
33:14went quiet.
33:15The deep red liquid
33:16ran down from his brow bone
33:17over the bridge
33:18of his nose
33:18and dripped
33:19onto his white shirt.
33:20Don't make me sick.
33:22Cassian wiped his face
33:23with the back of his hand.
33:24Then he smiled
33:25and the smile was strange.
33:27At least you're still
33:27willing to be angry at me.
33:29That means you haven't
33:30really forgotten me.
33:32Valentina.
33:32The next second,
33:33Cassian was knocked down
33:34by a punch.
33:35Did I not fucking tell you
33:37to stay away from my sister?
33:38Are you trying to die?
33:40I quickly stepped forward
33:41and grabbed Marco's hand.
33:42Don't Marco.
33:44It's your wedding today.
33:47Throw him out.
33:48The guard strode over.
33:49One grabbed Cassian
33:50by the back of the neck
33:51and dragged him
33:52toward the door.
33:52The muzzle of a gun
33:53pressed once more
33:54against the back
33:55of Cassian's head.
33:56But as he was being
33:56dragged away,
33:57he suddenly broke free
33:58from the guard,
33:59pulled a stack of documents
34:00from the inside pocket
34:01of his suit
34:01and held them high.
34:03Val,
34:04these are the transfer documents
34:05for all Castellino shares.
34:06I've already signed them.
34:08Please,
34:09let me make it up to you.
34:11A few pages
34:12fluttered loose
34:12from the stack.
34:13I watched the documents
34:14fly through the air
34:15and bent to pick up
34:15the page closest to me.
34:17The heading at the top
34:17read Castellano Group.
34:19Then,
34:19in front of him,
34:20I tore the pages apart
34:21one by one.
34:23Shreds of paper
34:23drifted between us
34:24like snow.
34:25I don't need money.
34:26I threw the last scrap
34:27into his face.
34:30I only want you
34:31to disappear
34:32from my life
34:33forever.
34:35Cassian stopped
34:36struggling entirely.
34:37The guards dragged him
34:38out of the banquet hall
34:39with a gun pressed
34:40to the back of his head.
34:41When the banquet hall
34:42door was closed,
34:43Nancy reacted quickly,
34:44immediately lifting
34:45her champagne flute
34:46to the guests.
34:47Just a little interruption.
34:48Let's keep drinking.
34:49The band began playing again
34:50and laughter and conversation
34:52gradually broke the space.
34:53Marco came to my side
34:55and asked in a low voice,
34:57Are you okay?
35:00I'm going to fix my makeup.
35:02In the restroom mirror,
35:04my eyes were red.
35:05A faint red stain
35:06from the wine
35:07still lingered on my wrist.
35:08I turned on the faucet,
35:09splashed cold water
35:10against my cheeks,
35:11and took several deep breaths.
35:13Just as I turned off the tap,
35:14another shadow appeared
35:15in the mirror.
35:16I spun around.
35:17Cassian stood in the doorway
35:18of the restroom.
35:19There was a fresh cut
35:20on his forehead,
35:21blood beating
35:22and sliding down
35:23along his brow bone.
35:24His suit jacket was gone.
35:25All that remained
35:26was a white shirt
35:26ruined beyond recognition
35:28by wine and blood.
35:29Why are you still here?
35:30He did not answer.
35:31He took two steps forward
35:32and slowly knelt
35:33an arm's length away from me.
35:35Fell.
35:35He lifted his head
35:36and looked at me.
35:37Blood and wine
35:38mingled on his face,
35:39dripping down the line
35:40of his jaw
35:40and onto the tile
35:41where he knelt.
35:42If I died,
35:43would you feel better?
35:44He slowly took something
35:45from his trouser pocket.
35:46A car key, black,
35:47marked with the Castellano
35:49family's falcon crest.
35:50He placed the key
35:51on the floor between us.
35:52My race car is parked
35:53behind the hotel.
35:54The brake line has been cut.
35:56From here to the sea cliff,
35:57ten minutes is enough.
35:59All it takes
35:59is one word from you.
36:00My breathing blew fast
36:02beyond my control.
36:02What are you talking about?
36:04Cassian smiled.
36:05It was a smile
36:06that made my skin crawl.
36:07You died once
36:08at the racetrack.
36:09Now it's my turn.
36:10That's fair, isn't it?
36:12I bent down,
36:12snatched up the key,
36:14and hurled it hard
36:15at the wall.
36:15The sound of metal
36:16striking tile
36:17was sharp and piercing.
36:18The key bounced
36:19into a corner.
36:20Cassian Castellano,
36:21are you fucking insane?
