FunTranscript
00:00The dawn of the Russo family lay on the brink of death following a hit by a rival syndicate.
00:06On his deathbed, surrounded by the family's capos, he made his final will.
00:09Whichever of his two sons made it to the hospital first and slipped the black onyx ring onto his finger
00:14would inherit the multi-billion dollar mafia empire.
00:17As the eldest son, Cassian was only a 30-minute drive away.
00:20The throne was practically handed to him.
00:22Instead, he chose to throw a lavish birthday party for his precious sweetheart, Julia, on a private yacht.
00:27She told him she wanted no interruptions, so he shut off his phone.
00:31In my previous life, I took a speedboat, stormed the yacht with a crew, and dragged him back to the
00:35hospital by force, securing his seat as the dawn.
00:38But because he left her midway, Julia stood on the deck crying all night, caught a nasty fever, and threatened
00:43to break up with him when she woke up.
00:45Once in power, Cassian was driven mad by guilt.
00:48He called me a cold-blooded, heartless bitch, had my feet set in concrete, and threw me off the Brooklyn
00:53Bridge.
00:54When I opened my eyes, I was back in that hospital hallway, with the family lawyer desperately urging me to
00:59make the call.
01:00I looked down at my phone.
01:01On social media, Cassian had just posted,
01:04Even if the sky falls, I won't leave your side tonight.
01:06I calmly double-tapped the screen to like his post.
01:09Then, I sent a text to my exiled brother-in-law, Mateo.
01:12Want to make a deal, future Don?
01:15Valerie, what are you zoning out for?
01:17Call Cassian now!
01:18The Don gave his word.
01:20Whoever gets that black onyx ring on their finger before he takes his last breath rules the Russo family.
01:24It is a 30-minute drive.
01:26If Cassian leaves right now, this billion-dollar empire is his.
01:29I masked the cold hatred in my eyes.
01:31In front of a room full of capos and doctors, I dialed Cassian's number.
01:35It rang for a long, long time.
01:38Just as the lawyer started sweating, the call finally connected.
01:41Deafening party music blasted through the speaker, followed by Cassian's furious voice.
01:45Valerie, are you out of your mind?
01:47How many times do I have to tell you?
01:49It is Julia's birthday, and I am staying with her.
01:51I suppressed the urge to laugh, keeping my voice flat.
01:54Your father was shot.
01:55They are trying to save him in the hospital.
01:57Before I could even mention the will, a weak, delicate cough came from the other end.
02:02Cassian, are you going to leave me again?
02:04It sounded like Julia had snatched the phone.
02:07Valerie, it is my birthday.
02:09I just want you for one night.
02:11You really do not need to make up such twisted lies.
02:14Do I have to get on my knees and beg you to let me stay a little longer?
02:18Cassian's voice instantly melted into pure tenderness.
02:21Don't be scared, Julia.
02:23I'm not leaving.
02:24I'm not going anywhere.
02:25When he spoke into the phone again, his voice turned ice cold.
02:28Did you hear that?
02:29It is just one night.
02:30Can you drop the jealous wife routine for once?
02:32Julia is fragile.
02:33You stress her out and make her sick.
02:35I swear I will make you regret it.
02:36Hearing this, the lawyer's veins popped on his forehead.
02:39Cassian, it is the family lawyer.
02:42Valerie is not lying.
02:44The Don was actually hit.
02:46He is in the hospital right now.
02:48You need to get here in 30 minutes because the Don said,
02:52Oh, the family lawyer, huh?
02:54It was Jax, Cassian's lackey, and Julia's younger brother.
02:57Jax laughed mockingly through the speaker.
02:59Valerie, you really pulled out all the stops today, hiring actors and everything.
03:03Too bad you miscalculated.
03:05I got a buddy on the payroll in that precinct.
03:08He said the streets are dead quiet tonight.
03:12No hits, no nothing.
03:14Valerie is just a jealous, paying actors to put on a show.
03:17So you will go crawling back to her.
03:20Cassian bought it instantly.
03:22He was furious.
03:23Valerie using my father's life for a cheap stunt?
03:25You disgust me.
03:26The line went dead.
03:27The lawyer stood frozen, staring at the phone in absolute disbelief.
03:30How could he be this stupid?
03:34The hospital room door was violently shoved open.
03:37Valerie, you f***ing curse!
03:39My mother-in-law, Carmela, stormed in with bloodshot eyes,
03:42raising her hand to slap me across the face.
03:44In my past life, I was too panicked to react and took the hit.
03:48This time, I was ready.
03:49I sneered and took a step back.
03:51Carmela swung too hard, missed, and stumbled hard into a chair with a shriek.
03:56Ignoring the pain, she pointed right at my nose and screamed.
03:59Where is he?
04:00Where is Cassian?
04:01How could my son marry such a useless b***h?
04:06If Cassian doesn't make it back, if the family falls into someone else's hands,
04:10I will sell you to the brothels myself!
04:12Behind her stood a group of her usual cronies.
04:14They immediately crowded around, spitting venom.
04:17Useless trash.
04:18You can't even get your own man to come back.
04:20If Cassian loses his inheritance, we will skin you alive!
04:23I knew why they were losing their minds.
04:25Carmela wasn't the Don's legal wife.
04:27She started out as a stripper and used her pregnancy to climb the ladder, giving birth
04:31to his firstborn, Cassian.
04:32Years ago, when the Don's actual wife was heavily pregnant, Carmela showed up at the
04:37estate with her baby, spitting such vicious insults that the wife went into premature labor
04:42and bled to death on the operating table.
04:44The legitimate son, Matteo, who was born without a mother, was treated like a thorn in their
04:49side.
04:49Cassian and Carmela abused him, beat him, and eventually found an excuse to exile him to
04:54Sicily, keeping him far away from the family's core business.
04:58Though the Don let Carmela live in the manor, he always thought she was too low-class to actually
05:02marry.
05:03That meant if the Don died and Cassian didn't take the throne, family rules dictated Carmela
05:07would be thrown out on the streets.
05:09If she goes down, her crew goes down with her.
05:11That's why they're all looking sick with worry.
05:15Are you deaf?
05:16Call his lackey?
05:17Tell him to drag Cassian here right now.
05:19I looked at her coldly, didn't argue, and obediently dialed Jax's number.
05:23He answered quickly.
05:25The background was still filled with party music and ocean waves.
05:27Valerie, are you physically incapable of taking a hint?
05:30Jax's voice dripped with impatience.
05:32Can't you give it a rest?
05:33Stop clinging to the boss like a desperate loser.
05:36He kept going, getting more pumped up.
05:38Honestly, if you were my woman, I would tie you up and make some sense at you first.
05:41Women need to learn to shut up and stay out of family business.
05:44His blatant disrespect left everyone in the room stunned.
05:46Jax, I don't care if you believe me.
05:48The Don is fading fast.
05:50He gave his word.
05:51Between Cassian and Mateo, whoever puts on the ring first gets the empire.
05:54A sudden, eerie silence fell over the line.
05:57Jax's tone shifted, sounding hesitant.
05:59Are you serious?
06:02Hearing this, Carmela grabbed onto the phone like a lifeline, crying tears of joy.
06:06It is true.
06:07It is true.
06:08I am Cassian's mother.
06:09You need to tell him to come back.
06:10This is about the inheritance.
06:11Oh, well, if it's true, I'll go tell the boss right now.
06:14Jax said slowly.
06:15Carmela let out a huge breath of relief, patting her chest.
06:18Thank God.
06:19As long as Cassian gets back.
06:20Suddenly, a burst of hysterical laughter erupted from the phone.
06:23Jax sounded like he just heard the funniest joke in the world, laughing so hard he could barely breathe.
06:27Jesus Christ.
06:29Valerie, you really don't know when to quit, do you?
06:31I already busted your little scam, and you are still bringing the actors back for a second act.
06:36Let me tell you something.
06:37The boss said even if the a** rage this boat tonight, nobody is ruining his alone time with my sister.
06:42Your little mind rigs are useless.
06:44If you know what's good for you, get lost.
06:47The boss is filing for divorce tomorrow.
06:49He is only going to love my sister for the rest of his life.
06:51And I am going to be the Don's brother-in-law.
06:54As for you, get ready to pack your bags and go beg on the streets.
06:57The desperate hope on Carmela's face froze, slowly turning into sheer horror.
07:02I made my eyes well up with tears, looking extremely wronged while laughing inside.
07:06I had been married to Cassian for three years.
07:09To secure his position in the family, I spent countless sleepless nights cooking the books,
07:13hiding his dirty money, and cleaning up his messes.
07:16And what did he do?
07:17He took the money I made him and bought a $10 million yacht for Julia.
07:21He even had the nerve to tell me.
07:23Valerie, you already have the title of the Russo family's eldest wife.
07:26Julia has nothing.
07:27What is wrong with spending some money to make it up to her?
07:29And Carmela had casually brushed it off, too.
07:33All men stray.
07:35As long as he comes home to you, why do you care how many girls he keeps on the side?
07:40Yeah, exactly.
07:41So tonight, let Cassian be with a woman he truly loves.
07:44As for the godfather's seat, you can kiss it goodbye.
07:48A mess of heavy footsteps echoed in the hallway.
07:51A group of Kapos loyal to Cassian burst into the room.
07:54Where is he?
07:54Why isn't he here yet?
07:56The lead Kapos' eyes blazed with fury.
07:58It is her fault!
07:59Valerie is useless.
08:01She couldn't even get him on the phone!
08:03The elders were furious.
08:04They grabbed a thick stack of files from the table and smashed them onto me.
08:07What the hell are you good for, Valerie?
08:09We bet everything on Cassian.
08:10If he misses out on the ring tonight, we all go down with him.
08:12You stupid, useless b****.
08:14Before I could say a word, the heart monitor suddenly started blaring a warning alarm.
08:18Everyone froze.
08:19The private physician rushed over to check.
08:21A moment later, he gave a slight shake of his head.
08:23Gentlemen, the dawn has 40 minutes at most.
08:25You need to figure this out fast.
08:27Honestly, if Cassian just checked his social media or picked up the phone,
08:31a 30-minute drive from the docks was more than enough time.
08:33Hope reignited in Carmela's eyes.
08:35Her hands shook as she dialed his number.
08:37Cassian, please, pick up your mother's call.
08:39The yacht was anchored just off the coast.
08:41Julia straddled Cassian's lap, her body swaying gently with the ocean waves.
08:45She complained about the ringing phone killing the mood.
08:47That ringing is giving me a headache.
08:51Cassian, just turn it off or throw it in the ocean.
08:54She lowered her eyelashes, looking incredibly helpless and cute.
08:58Tonight is my birthday.
08:59You can only have me in your world.
09:01You can only look at me.
09:03Can you do that for me?
09:04Cassian hesitated for a second.
09:05My words flashing through his mind.
09:07But looking at Julia's lustful, dependent eyes, any doubt he had vanished.
09:11The old man was tough as nails.
09:13He wouldn't just drop dead.
09:14All right.
09:15As long as my queen is happy, even if the sky falls, you are the only thing I care about.
09:20Cassian kissed her hard.
09:22Then, without a second thought, tossed both phones into the dark sea.
09:29Sorry, the number you have reached is unavailable.
09:31Carmela must have called 20 times.
09:33Every single time, it was the same soul-crushing, automated voice.
09:36Her men tried to comfort her.
09:37Dona Carmela, don't panic.
09:39Even if Cassian doesn't make it, it is fine.
09:41That bastard Matteo is still in Sicily, right?
09:43A flight from there takes over 10 hours.
09:45He will never make it.
09:46Hearing this, Carmela let out a breath she was holding.
09:49But then, one of their spies rushed into the room, panting.
09:52Ma'am.
09:54Bosses.
09:55Someone said they saw Matteo's crew a few blocks away.
09:57He is almost here.
09:59The news struck like lightning.
10:00All the color drained from Carmela's face.
10:03Impossible!
10:03He is in Sicily!
10:05How could he be back so fast?
10:07Amidst the chaos, I stood quietly by the edge of the room, feeling a dark sense of satisfaction.
10:13Actually, Matteo had secretly returned to New York days ago to handle some family business.
10:17In my previous life, Carmela blocked all information from reaching him so he wouldn't compete for power.
10:22By the time Matteo found out and rushed over, he was 30 minutes too late.
10:26But this time, the moment I opened my eyes, I sent the news straight to him.
10:31The docks! Go to the docks!
10:34Carmela completely lost it.
10:35She grabbed my arm so hard her nails dug in.
10:38You useless trash! Come with me!
10:39We are bringing him back!
10:41The pain was sharp, but I didn't fight back.
10:43I let her drag me into the car, because I knew exactly how obsessed Cassian was with Julia.
10:48He had locked down that yacht for their alone time.
10:50Even if Carmela went herself, it wouldn't change a damn thing.
10:53When we got to the pier, Carmela and her heavily armed thugs rushed the entrance like maniacs.
10:58But a dozen guards armed with assault rifles blocked the gate.
11:01Standing front and center was Jax, looking as smug as ever.
11:04Are you blind?
11:06The boss locked down the pier tonight.
11:08Not even a fly gets in.
11:10Carmela was frantic.
11:11She lunged forward and grabbed Jax by the collar.
11:13I am his mother! Let me in!
11:16Tell Cassian that Mateo is about to steal his throne!
11:19Jax shoved her back without a second thought.
11:21Carmela, wearing high heels, lost her balance and crashed hard onto the concrete, looking completely pathetic.
11:28Listen here, old lady.
11:29You guys are really addicted to this acting gig, huh?
11:32Jax looked down at her with pure disgust.
11:35First Valerie gets someone to fake being a lawyer and a mom over the phone,
11:39and now you show up trying to play the victim?
11:42You people will stoop to anything to ruin his night with my sister.
11:46The boss gave a direct order.
11:48Even if his own mother shows up, she can wait outside.
11:52Carmela was shaking violently, choking on her own fury.
11:55She ordered her men to break through, but after a brief, bloody scuffle, they were beaten back, heads bleeding.
12:02Utterly desperate, Carmela screamed, cursed, and clawed at the heavy iron gates.
12:06Finally, her knees gave out.
12:08She literally dropped to her knees in front of Jax, bowing her head against the dirt.
12:12I beg you, let me in to see him.
12:14If we are too late, everything is gone.
12:17Leaning against the car door, watching this circus, I couldn't stop the corner of my lips from curving up.
12:21At that exact moment, back in the hospital, dozens of eyes were glued to the heart monitor as the jagged
12:27lines grew flatter and flatter.
12:28Then, the hallway fell dead silent.
12:30A tall, imposing figure in a black trench coat stepped over the threshold.
12:34The moment his heavy boots halted, the red line on the monitor flatlined completely.
12:40The family lawyer took a deep breath.
12:42Facing the elders, his voice rang out solemn and clear.
12:45According to the final will and testament, Mr. Mateo arrived at the final moment.
12:49From this second on, Mr. Mateo is the undisputed don of the Russo family.
12:54No matter how furious Cassian supporters were, no one dared to say a word.
12:59Mateo slipped the black onyx ring onto his finger.
13:01One by one, every copo in the room bowed their heads in submission.
13:05When the voice note from my informant played through my phone,
13:08Carmela's eyes rolled back and she fainted cold on the damp concrete.
13:12Meanwhile, out on the yacht, the two of them were still tangled in the sheets.
13:16Julia curled up against Cassian's bare chest, her skin still flushed and damp.
13:20Cassian, this is the best day of my life.
13:23Thank you for risking everything for me.
13:25Promise me you'll always be this good to me.
13:28Of course.
13:29Just wait.
13:31Someday, I'm going to get rid of Valerie and make you my real wife.
13:35The yacht was nearing the docks.
13:37Cassian glanced up and the blood instantly drained from his face.
13:40Waiting for them on the pier was a sea of dark suits.
13:45Valerie, you are like a ghost that won't go away.
13:48Cassian marched over, his eyes full of contempt.
13:50What kind of stunt is this?
13:53Bringing a bunch of crazy b**** here to cry and make a scene?
13:57You think making yourself look pathetic is going to make me look at you?
14:00He noticed the unconscious woman on the ground and the bleeding thugs, but he was so blinded
14:04by annoyance he didn't even recognize his own mother.
14:06Jax immediately ran up, grinning like a dog.
14:09Boss, don't worry.
14:10I kept all these troublemakers out.
14:12Not a single fly got in to ruin your romantic night with my sister.
14:17Cassian looked at me from his high horse.
14:19Valerie, if you keep acting like a psycho, we are filing for divorce tomorrow.
14:22For three years, you have paraded around, acting like the queen of the Russo family.
14:27But in bed, you are as boring as a piece of wood.
14:31I'm sick of you.
14:32Believe me, with one word, I can have you thrown out of this family with nothing.
14:36Julia hid behind Cassian, poking her head out timidly.
14:39Valerie, I actually feel sorry for you.
14:41You married Cassian for money and power, but your heart is full of schemes.
14:45You can't offer him anything real.
14:47Cassian doesn't need power.
14:49He needs true love.
14:51Why put yourself through this?
14:52I laughed coldly in my head, staring at these two lunatics.
14:55Doesn't need power, does he?
14:57Let's see if you still believe that in about five minutes.
15:01Suddenly, a sharp, echoing slap rang out.
15:03Carmela, who had just woken up from the cold ground,
15:05summoned a terrifying amount of strength and backhanded Julia right across her delicate face.
15:10Julia screamed and collapsed, half of her face instantly swelling up.
15:13Julia!
15:14Cassian panicked, shielding her in his arms as he looked up in shock and rage.
15:17But when he saw the face of the attacker, he froze.
15:19Mother?
15:20What are you doing here?
15:22Cassian looked deeply confused.
15:23Why are you acting crazy with Valerie?
15:26Why did you hit Julia?
15:28Hit her?
15:29I will skin the b***h alive!
15:31Carmela's eyes were completely bloodshot, her hair a wild mess.
15:35She slammed a phone hard against Cassian's chest.
15:37Open your damn eyes and look!
15:40Look at what your stupidity just cost us for this little b***h!
15:44Frowning with extreme irritation, Cassian grabbed the phone.
15:48On the screen was the breaking news alert flashing across every major network.
15:52Russo family, Don, assassinated.
15:54Second son, Mateo, arrives at last minute to inherit empire.
15:58A new godfather rises.
16:02Right below the headline was a high-definition video of the lawyer's announcement.
16:06According to the final will and testament, Mr. Mateo arrived at the final moment.
16:09Mr. Mateo is the undisputed Don of the Russo family.
16:12In the video, Mateo, dressed in a sharp black suit, stood by the Don's bed and slipped the black onyx
16:18ring onto his finger.
16:19Cassian's pupils shrank to pinpricks.
16:21He stared at the screen, his fingers starting to tremble uncontrollably.
16:24No, no, this is impossible.
16:26He snapped his head up, all his usual aristocratic arrogance completely wiped out.
16:31How could father be assassinated?
16:33How could that bastard Mateo be back?
16:35This is fake!
16:36Valerie, you dacked for this video, didn't you?
16:38I stood perfectly still, a mocking smile touching my lips.
16:41Cassian, why don't you call your capos and find out if it's fake or not?
16:45With shaking hands, Cassian ordered his bodyguard to hand him his backup phone.
16:49The second the screen lit up, hundreds of missed calls and thousands of texts flooded in like death warrants.
16:54Boss, where the hell are you?
16:55If you don't come back right now, Mateo takes everything!
17:01Cassian looked like he had been struck by lightning.
17:03His knees went weak and he nearly dropped to the ground.
17:05Carmela suddenly lunged at Julia, grabbing her by the hair and slamming her head toward the deck.
17:09You brainless h***!
17:11It is all because of you!
17:13A f***ing birthday party!
17:15If it wasn't for you, Cassian would have made it to the hospital!
17:20You ruined the rest of my life!
17:23You dirty h***!
17:25Julia screamed in agony, her perfect makeup smeared with tears as she struggled.
17:29Cassian!
17:31Help me!
17:32Cassian!
17:33Sis!
17:33Jax panicked and tried to jump in to help, but the family elders behind Carmela, already driven insane by losing
17:39their power, tackled Jax to the ground and beat the living hell out of him.
17:43You're the one who blocked the gate!
17:44I will put a bullet in you myself!
17:47The pier devolved into absolute chaos.
17:50Screams from Julia and Jax rang out everywhere.
17:52Cassian finally snapped out of his shock.
17:54Enough!
17:55Stop!
17:56Get off her!
17:57Don't touch Julia!
17:58Carmela was already old.
18:00When Cassian yanked her off Julia, she lost her balance and crashed heavily onto the deck.
18:04Dead silence.
18:05Everyone stared at Cassian in absolute disbelief.
18:08Holding her bleeding forehead, Carmela pointed at him, utterly devastated.
18:12Are you insane, Cassian?
18:14You hit your own mother for this s***?
18:16How did I give birth to such a stupid son?
18:18Cassian wrapped his arms around a shivering Julia.
18:21If I lost my territory, I will take it back.
18:24As long as I breathe, I will build my way back to the top.
18:28But if any of you touch one hair on Julia's head, I will kill you.
18:33He scooped Julia up, bolted into his sports car like he was running for his life, and sped off.
18:37Watching these rabid dogs tear each other apart, my smile grew wider.
18:41Is that so?
18:41Let's see how you rise back to the top.
18:43An hour later, Cassian took Julia to the hospital to get patched up, then drove back to the Russo family
18:47manor.
18:48The moment he walked through the doors, he started barking orders at the butler to prepare dinner,
18:52acting like he still owned the place.
18:53But when he stepped into the main hall, he froze.
18:56The manor was brightly lit.
18:57Out on the front lawn, all his custom suits, luxury watches, and personal belongings were piled up like garbage.
19:02I was sitting elegantly on the sofa, slowly sipping champagne.
19:05And sitting right beside me, looking indifferent in a perfectly tailored suit, was Mateo.
19:11Villery.
19:12Mateo.
19:13You have some nerve!
19:14He pointed at us and screamed.
19:16You bastard.
19:17You dare step foot in my house?
19:19The Russo family isn't yours?
19:21I am the eldest son.
19:23And this empire belongs to me!
19:26Take this toxic f*** and get out of my house!
19:29He instinctively reached for the gun at his waist, but Mateo's bodyguards moved in a flash,
19:33kicking him hard in the chest and dropping him to the floor.
19:36Wake up, Cassian.
19:37Who do you think runs the Russo family now?
19:40I sneered, stood up, and threw a divorce agreement and a thick stack of bank statements right in his face.
19:46Sign the divorce papers.
19:48And look at those statements.
19:49Over the last three years, you embezzled family funds to buy yachts and diamonds for Julia.
19:5530 million dollars in total.
19:57Mateo swirled his whiskey glass, a dangerous smirk on his lips.
20:01Big brother, I run the finances now, and I have audited the books.
20:06You either pay back the money, or I handle this.
20:09It's the traditional mafia way, and you pay with a pound of flesh.
20:16Cassian ground his teeth, glaring at me with pure hatred.
20:19Then, he suddenly let out a psychotic laugh.
20:21Valerie, you think slapping a 30 million dollar debt on me is going to make me beg?
20:25You think throwing me out will make me leave Julia and come crawling back to you?
20:29He lifted his chin, his eyes full of disdain.
20:31You miscalculated.
20:33Even if you do all this, I will never choose you.
20:37As long as I have Julia by my side, I will build my own empire from the ground up.
20:42I will wait for the day you come begging me on your knees.
20:45Come on, Julia. We are leaving.
20:46Julia stumbled as Cassian dragged her out of the manor.
20:49Watching his dramatic exit, I almost laughed out loud.
20:52Build his own empire from the ground up?
20:53He was nothing without the Russo name.
20:55And soon enough, he'd learn a hard truth.
20:57Empires don't rise from nothing, and gold diggers don't stay for love.
21:01One month later, inside a hot, humid, run-down motel with water dripping from the ceiling.
21:07It was the exact opposite of the luxurious Russo estate.
21:11Cassian, are you entirely useless?
21:16Julia's hair was a mess.
21:18She pointed right at Cassian's nose, screaming.
21:20That sweet, gentle face of hers was now twisted with rage.
21:23You can't even buy me a decent dress!
21:27Some boss you are!
21:29Ever since Cassian was thrown out, all his bank accounts had been frozen to pay off his debt.
21:34All of Julia's limited edition bags and diamonds had been confiscated and liquidated.
21:38Used to a life of extreme luxury, Julia's true colors finally bled through.
21:43Cassian stepped forward humbly, trying to hold her hand.
21:46Julia, please don't be mad.
21:48I have already reached out to a few guys who used to follow me.
21:52Once I find...
21:52Find what?
21:53What the hell can your pocket change do?
21:55You can't even buy me a purse!
21:56How can you say you love me?
21:58Weren't you the big boss?
22:00Didn't you say you could make the money back?
22:04Now look at you.
22:05I am the one paying the rent for this dump!
22:08A flash of genuine hurt crossed Cassian's eyes.
22:13Julia...
22:13You weren't like this before.
22:15You told me as long as we have love, you wouldn't care.
22:18Even if the sky fell.
22:20Julia looked at him with pure disgust.
22:22Without money, your love is worthless.
22:27Just then, with a loud bang, the motel door was kicked open.
22:30Jack stumbled inside, covered in blood, followed by several heavily tattooed thugs.
22:35Sis, sis!
22:35Save me, sis!
22:36I owe the casino!
22:37They said if I don't pay up today, they're chopping off my hands and feet!
22:40Julia screamed in terror, shoving Cassian forward.
22:43Are you deaf?
22:44They are going to hurt my brother!
22:47Pay them!
22:48Cassian went pale.
22:49I don't have any money left.
22:52Jax's eyes were wild.
22:54He dropped to the floor, hugging Cassian's leg and shaking him violently.
22:57Cassian, go beg Valerie!
22:59She used to love you so much, she did whatever you said!
23:01Get on your knees and beg her for the money!
23:04Cassian flinched like he had been hit with a bat.
23:06He stared at Julia, his lips trembling.
23:10Julia, do you think I should do that too?
23:13Julia avoided his eyes, her face filled with revulsion.
23:16Well, you're useless right now anyway.
23:19If you can scam some money out of quality out of her, do it.
23:23You can't just let my brother get crippled.
23:27Cassian completely broke down.
23:28He couldn't accept that his precious first love was really like this.
23:31He held his head in his hands, trying to hypnotize himself.
23:34She is just tired.
23:35She still loves me.
23:36She is just scared.
23:37But reality shattered his last layer of delusion the very next day.
23:40Julia went straight to Mateo.
23:42Sitting on a massive leather sofa, Mateo casually spun a pistol in his hand.
23:46Julia was heavily dressed up.
23:47She wore a tight short dress, deliberately pulling down the collar to expose her collarbones.
23:51Her eyes were red as she spoke in a choked, breathy voice.
23:54Don, to be honest, I never liked Cassian's brutality.
24:00From the start, he made me.
24:03Julia took a step closer, leaning her upper body over his mahogany desk, her voice dripping with seduction.
24:08He used his status to force me to stay with him.
24:10But in my heart, I have always admired him like you.
24:13Real men.
24:14Men with real power and ambition.
24:17A mocking gleam flashed in Mateo's eyes.
24:20Is that so?
24:22He forced you?
24:23It is true.
24:25Seeing Mateo hadn't kicked her out, Julia was thrilled.
24:28She even dropped to her knees, pressing herself against his leg.
24:32Cassian is nothing.
24:34He is a brainless coward.
24:36As long as you let me stay by your side, I will do anything you want.
24:40The moment those words left her mouth, the office doors were violently thrown open.
24:44Julia!
24:44Cassian stared dead-eyed at Julia, who was kneeling on the floor, her dress half-off, offering herself to Mateo.
24:50You treacherous h***!
24:51He charged forward like a madman, wrapping his hands around Julia's throat and slamming her heart into the floor.
24:56I threw away my title as godfather for you!
24:58I abandoned my own mother for you!
25:00And you dare betray me?
25:02I will kill you!
25:03Julia screamed in terror, desperately slapping his arms, her eyes rolling into the back of her head.
25:09Cassian probably didn't realize that if Mateo hadn't explicitly ordered the downstairs guards to let him through,
25:14he wouldn't have even made it into the lobby.
25:16How could we throw a play without the lead actor?
25:18I stepped out from behind the concealed door, looking down at them from above, delivering the final nail in the
25:23coffin.
25:23Traded a billion-dollar mafia empire for a woman like this.
25:27Your true love sure didn't come cheap, Cassian.
25:29That broke him.
25:30Hearing my voice, Cassian snapped his head up.
25:32Then, he suddenly started laughing like a complete psychopath.
25:35He was choking Julia, laughing out loud, while massive tears rolled down his face.
25:40I was wrong! I was so f***ing wrong!
25:43This circus ended with Mateo's bodyguards dragging them both out.
25:46Cassian's face was twisted with mania.
25:48I recognized that look.
25:50It was the exact same one he'd had before he killed me in my past life.
25:53Have your guys keep an eye on him.
25:55He's about to go completely insane.
25:57Mateo nodded, his expression turning grave.
25:59Don't worry. This time around, I'm not letting anyone hurt you.
26:04When I received the video from my private investigator, I was standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, holding a
26:09glass of red wine.
26:09The video showed an abandoned, rotting pier on the outskirts of Brooklyn.
26:13Cassian was drenched in rain, his eyes bloodshot.
26:15He had pawned his last pistol to hire a shady van, kidnapping both Julia and Jax.
26:19Fierce winds whipped the freezing ocean water against the rocks.
26:22Julia's hands and feet were bound with thick rope.
26:24Her face was twisted in sheer horror.
26:26Cassian! Cassian, I'm sorry! I really am!
26:28She was trembling violently, her pale face slick with rain and tears as she wailed in a hoarse voice.
26:33Please don't kill me!
26:35Let's start over, okay?
26:36I don't want any jewelry or money anymore.
26:39I only love you!
26:41I am so cold.
26:43My head hurts so much, Cassian.
26:45I have a fever.
26:47You used to care about me the most.
26:49She was using her usual pathetic act.
26:51I have a fever.
26:52In my past life, it was a sentence just like that which drove Cassian mad with guilt, making him throw
26:57me into the freezing pitch black river.
26:58This time, she got to taste the water herself.
27:03Faced with her begging, Cassian showed zero mercy.
27:06His face was locked in a mask of absolute manic hysteria.
27:09A fever?
27:10Perfect.
27:11It is nice and cool at the bottom of the ocean.
27:14Let me send you there right now.
27:16Cassian grabs Julia by the hair and dragged her toward the edge of the pier.
27:19Didn't you say I was brainless?
27:21Didn't you say I was nothing?
27:23You f***ed.
27:24You ruined my life.
27:25And now you are going to f***ing die.
27:27Why?
27:28Roaring, he tied a heavy cinder block tight to her ankles.
27:31Julia let out a scream of pure despair.
27:34Help!
27:34Jax, help me!
27:35While Cassian was busy tying the knot, Jax, who was tied up nearby, had somehow managed to scrape through his
27:40zip ties.
27:41Pushed to the brink of death, his survival instinct kicked in.
27:43Jax broke free, grabbed a rusted piece of rebar from the ground, and lunged.
27:46He drove it straight into Cassian's back.
27:48Cassian let out a blood-curdling scream.
27:50He convulsed, staring in disbelief at the iron spike protruding from his stomach.
27:53The agonizing pain twisted his face, but he didn't fall.
27:55Holding his bleeding stomach, a sickening eerie grin spread across his face.
27:59If I'm going to hell, you are all coming with me!
28:03Using the very last ounce of his strength, he raised his foot and kicked Julia hard off the edge.
28:07Julia let out one final piercing scream before plummeting straight into the dark ocean.
28:12The wind howled, and the waves swallowed her whole, just like what I experienced in my past life.
28:16Now, it was returned to them, exactly as they deserved.
28:19Drained of life, Cassian collapsed into a pool of his own blood.
28:21Coughing up bloody foam, he laughed maniacally at the sky.
28:24On my end of the screen, I calmly pressed pause.
28:26That lingering, suffocating chill, the trauma that had clung to my soul like a parasite since my rebirth,
28:30finally dissipated into thin air.
28:32I made a phone call, my voice perfectly level.
28:33You can call the cops now.
28:35Tell them you spotted a wanted mafia fugitive with heavy debts.
28:38The police quickly arrived at the pier.
28:39By then, Cassian was already half-conscious from blood loss.
28:43Jax, who had tried to hide in a shipping container, was dragged out in handcuffs like a dead dog.
28:47Three months later, the court delivered the final verdicts.
28:49Jax was convicted on multiple charges and sentenced to 20 years in a maximum security prison.
28:54Rumor had it that during his very first month, he was recognized by some thugs he had crossed on the
28:58outside,
28:59including the bookies he still owed money to.
29:01In a blind spot, away from the security cameras, Jax's spine was accidentally snapped.
29:08For the rest of his miserable life, he would be paralyzed in a prison hospital bed, begging for death.
29:14Cassian, convicted of first-degree murder, was sentenced to death without delay.
29:18In his final days on death row, due to a severe infection from his wound,
29:22he ran constant high fevers, leaving him delirious.
29:25In his endless suffering, he started having frequent hallucinations.
29:28In his delusions, he saw Valerie storm the yacht with a crew, dragging him back to the hospital.
29:33He saw himself pushing open the hospital doors, hearing the lawyer announce his name
29:37as he slipped on the black onyx ring and became the all-powerful Don.
29:40In his dream, he was dressed in a sharp suit, sitting in the highest office of the Russo family empire.
29:45It was a glorious, dazzling future that belonged entirely to him.
29:49I am the Don.
29:50I am the Godfather!
29:53Cassian laughed out loud in his sleep.
29:55The violent slamming of the iron cell door ripped him out of his beautiful, decadent dream
29:59and dragged him back to reality.
30:00Cassian's eyes snapped open.
30:02There was no manor.
30:03There was no mafia empire.
30:04There was only a dark, damp death row cell that reeked of urine.
30:08He was wearing a rough prison uniform, heavy death row shackles binding his wrists.
30:13With every movement, the chains rattled with a terrifying metallic echo.
30:17A guard walked in deadpan, tossing a death warrant onto his cot.
30:20No, no, this isn't real.
30:22I was just signing contracts.
30:23I am the Don!
30:24Let me out!
30:25The psychological whiplash, plummeting from the throne straight into hell,
30:28shattered Cassian completely.
30:30That extreme agony of having it all and losing it sliced his soul to ribbons, cut by cut.
30:35But soon, a lethal injection silenced him forever.
30:38Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, a gray-haired woman, reeking of decay, rummaged
30:42through a dumpster.
30:43It was Carmela.
30:44The day she found out her son was sentenced to death, the shock caused a massive stroke,
30:48leaving her permanently paralyzed on one side.
30:50Mateo threw her out without a second thought, and her former cronies avoided her like the plague.
30:54Now, dragging her half-dead body around.
30:58She survived by begging on the streets of New York.
31:01Above her, the massive screens in Times Square broadcasted the financial news.
31:05On screen, Mateo, wearing an impeccable suit and surrounded by politicians,
31:09confidently announced the launch of a new, multi-billion-dollar syndicate.
31:12That was supposed to be her son.
31:14That was supposed to be her glory.
31:15A freezing gust of wind blew past, scattering her bitter, incoherent curses into the dark
31:20corners of the city.
31:20Inside a luxurious penthouse in Manhattan, Mateo and I sat across from each other by the
31:25floor-to-ceiling windows.
31:26On the table rested two neatly stacked documents.
31:28One was my finalized divorce decree.
31:30The other was a contract granting me a 20% dividend in the new syndicate.
31:33This was the deal Mateo and I made in the hospital that day.
31:36I fed him the intel and stalled Cassian.
31:38In return, he gave me immense wealth and cleared every hurdle for my divorce.
31:41A pleasure doing business with you, Valerie.
31:43Mateo raised his whiskey glass with a slight knowing smile.
31:46I stood up and walked to the glass, looking down at the glittering city below.
31:49In the distance, a brilliant firework bloomed across the skyline.
31:52I raised my glass, gently clinking it against his.
31:55Listening to the crisp sound of ice hitting the crystal, I looked at the gorgeous night view
31:59and replied softly,
32:00Cheers to our new lives.
32:03Cheers.
