02:35felt
02:35the thorn go in sharp real right through my palm my hand had pressed into an earring left on the
02:41seat
02:41the thin needle tip broke my skin what the hell did you do for a split second I thought he

02:56you don't want to know what happened so my blood was dirty to him my head was spinning from the
03:01pain
03:01I just looked at him for a long time long enough that he finally squeezed out something that almost
03:07looked like guilt forget it don't touch your things again I sat there didn't move he finished wiping the
03:16earring wrapped it in a clean tissue and placed it gently in the glove compartment

03:30a family
03:30event tonight anyway gotta take Scarlett to pick out a dress head home on your own he didn't care that
03:37it was pouring outside didn't even leave me an umbrella I stood on the side of the road soaked
03:43through people passing by looked at me like I'd lost my mind there was one thing Dante got wrong
03:51I didn't need him to protect me three seconds the reply came back
03:58the thing about my mom being a mistress it didn't come out one day like some big reveal
04:03in this circle there are no secrets she was Enzo Farhani's mistress that's what everyone said
04:09Farhani was the Moretti family's conciate while his wife was pregnant he had my mother on the side
04:15when his wife and baby didn't make it everyone said my mom drove them to their deaths
04:19my mom jumped off the roof when I was 10 after she died Farhani never came for me it was
04:26some elder
04:26in the family who couldn't stomach it stuck me in St. Anna's a roof over my head but no name
04:31no status from the first day I walked through those doors I was one thing and one thing only
04:36the thing that whore left behind the family kids at St. Anne's kept it subtle
04:41they wouldn't touch me drop their voices when I passed in the hallway look Farhani's bastard
04:49the wives were the ones who got physical
04:52mrs. Conti Sal Conti's wife when she talked the other wives listened
04:58stay standing your mother was on her knees serving someone else's husband and never complained
05:06a whore's daughter will always be a whore
05:09I knew my mom was guilty I didn't think I was innocent either
05:13I never fought back let them take it out on me
05:16that went on for years until Dante stepped in
05:20who says a whore's daughter has to end up a whore
05:24what does your daughter do
05:26my daughter works in investment banking
05:29and you before you married Sal Conti
05:33where were you
05:36she was tending bar before she married him
05:39see your daughter turned out nothing like you
05:43after that he brought light into my life
05:46and now here I was
05:48standing in the pouring rain trying to make sense of it
05:51how did the man who saved me become the one destroying me
05:56I wiped the rain off my face barely able to see where I was going
06:00and then everything was black
06:03I passed out
06:07when I woke up it was already dark
06:09I was lying on a bed in the ER
06:12a thin blanket over me
06:14a blood pressure monitor clipped to my wrist
06:17blood pressure's too low don't go anywhere tonight
06:21the second I said it my phone rang
06:23Dante
06:24I stared at the screen for a long time
06:27picked up anyway
06:29Scarlet's dress got ruined
06:30go get the starry dime and bring it to me
06:32she needs a change
06:34starry night
06:34the gown Dante had custom made for me
06:37meant for our wedding reception
06:38now he wanted me to hand it over to another woman
06:41his woman
06:42it didn't matter anymore
06:45Dante I'm in the ER
06:46the ER? cut the act
06:48don't pull this shit with me right now
06:52I didn't bother arguing
06:55call it repaying a debt
06:56for the time he once saved me
06:59I walked back out into the storm
07:01picked up the dress
07:02and brought it all the way to the venue
07:04on the phone Dante said
07:05Scarlet's waiting for you at the door
07:07she wants to say thank you in person
07:09be good
07:10don't make a scene
07:11but what Scarlet gave me wasn't a thank you
07:13it was a slap
07:14no warning
07:15the hit spun me halfway around
07:18Elena if you didn't want to do it
07:20you could have just said so
07:21why throw the dress on the ground?
07:24I didn't even understand what she was playing at
07:27but Dante did
07:28and he decided to play along
07:30Dante
07:31maybe we shouldn't force Elena
07:33to do things she doesn't want to do
07:35have I been too easy on you?
07:36apologize to Scarlet
07:38now
07:39Dante
07:40I hope you don't live to regret this
07:46I'm sorry Scarlet
07:48I shouldn't have dropped your dress
07:51that didn't sound very sincere
07:53try harder
07:55then what do you want from me?
07:58I won't be anyone's mistress
08:00Dante and I are done
08:02I pulled off the ring right in front of her

10:21one step at a time
10:22onto the rope ladder

13:04one step at a time
13:06onto the rope ladder
13:07hanging from a helicopter
13:12the helicopter came early
13:14my aunt Lydia
13:15she started from nothing in Monte Carlo
13:18built herself up to the point
13:20where even the old family dons
13:22think twice
13:23when they hear her name
13:25last week she reached out
13:26asked if I wanted to leave this hellhole
13:29and go with her
13:30I said no
13:31because I couldn't let go of Dante
13:34looking back now
13:35what a fucking joke
13:37I was so tired
13:38I passed out on the plane
13:40I was lying in a clean bed
13:42buried under a thick comforter
13:45the room smelled like disinfectant
13:51I knew I was in bad shape
13:53body and mind both broken
13:55Lydia was sitting by the bed
13:57sons of bitches
14:01then she turned to me
14:02her voice dropping soft
14:04it's over
14:05I got you the best doctors
14:07everything's gonna be okay
14:11drink
14:11you're safe now
14:17Dante watched me climb the rope ladder
14:19frozen
14:19then something
14:20he bolted forward
14:22chasing after me
14:23why are you going after her
14:24that kind of woman
14:26just let her go
14:29what kind of woman
14:31the kind who likes
14:33being someone's mistress
14:35she was never anyone's mistress
14:38we forced her into that
14:41and even then
14:43she didn't take it
14:45you're yelling at me
14:46over her
14:50do you still love her
14:51yes
14:52I still love her
14:54I always have
14:56then what about me
14:57what am I
14:59you're the biggest mistake
15:00I ever made
15:01I finally get it
15:02why you wanted to be with me
15:04why you had to turn her
15:05into a mistress
15:06because you get off
15:07on crushing people
15:08you need it
15:09that's not true
15:12Dante took a folded document
15:14from his bodyguard
15:15threw it in her face
15:19back in high school
15:21Scarlett had singled out
15:22her classmate
15:23and turned the whole school
15:24against her
15:25the girl hadn't done
15:26a single thing wrong
15:27Scarlett pinned it on her
15:29anyway
15:29and it was enough
15:30for Scarlett
15:31to destroy her life
15:32she enjoys that
15:33while we're at it
15:35are you even a real
15:37Marchetti
15:42you came after me
15:44because of Elena
15:45from the very start
15:49the next day
15:50he started tracking
15:51down the helicopter
15:53nothing
15:53he pulled every string
15:55he had
15:56not a single
15:57useful lead
15:58Lydia had wiped
15:59the trail clean
16:00like Elena
16:01had never existed
16:02three full years
16:03not a word
16:04we have a contract
16:06Dante
16:06you don't get to walk away
16:08just because you feel like it
16:11you know what happens
16:12when you break a deal
16:13I had a contract
16:14with Elena too
16:17the wedding was a week out
16:21the one on the ground
16:22that was my promise
16:23she went door to door
16:25every family's wife
16:26every woman who mattered
16:28Scarlett showed up
16:29with tears in her eyes
16:30playing the victim
16:37a few families bought it
16:38started pulling away
16:40from the moretties
16:41on business
16:42Dante did explain
16:44didn't defend himself
16:48he waited three months
16:50let Scarlett put on her little show
16:59he waited three months
17:00let Scarlett put on her little show
17:07then at a joint family dinner
17:08he laid it all out on the table
17:10in front of everyone
17:12Scarlett's real background
17:14her history of bullying
17:15her real reason
17:17for getting close to Dante
17:18her fake connection
17:19to the Marchetti family
17:21all of it
17:22page by page
17:24dead silence
17:25and then something interesting happened
17:28history repeated itself
17:30years ago
17:31Ferrante threw Elena's mother
17:33under the bus
17:34to save his own skin
17:35now it was Scarlett's turn
17:37to be stripped bare
17:38her mother was someone's mistress too
17:41and she herself
17:42was just another illegitimate kid
17:44the father threw away
17:46the circle turned on her overnight
17:48the same wives who had stood with Scarlett
17:51who had helped her humiliate Elena
17:53turned around and did the exact same thing to Scarlett
17:57she became a joke
17:59fraud
18:00fake
18:01Scarlett's ending was the same as Elena's mother's
18:04she jumped off the roof
18:06Scarlett's ending didn't bring Dante any relief
18:09Scarlett had her sins
18:11but his were no lighter
18:13he wanted to make things right
18:16but where was Elena?
18:20he wanted to make things right
18:22but where was Elena?
18:24he searched damn near the whole globe
18:26but Elena had vanished
18:28like she'd been erased from the face of the earth
18:31just when he was about to give up
18:33someone said they might have seen her in Paris
18:36he rushed to Paris
18:37then someone said Berlin
18:40he chased it to Berlin
18:41the trail went cold
18:43eight full years
18:44that's how long it took before he finally spotted her
18:47on the street in London
18:48where she was walking hand in hand with another man
18:51that should have been him
18:55his voice was so rough he barely recognized it himself
19:00Elena
19:00I didn't recognize him at first
19:02because he looked nothing like the man
19:04the man in front of me was wrapped in a black overcoat
19:06cheekbones jutting out
19:07worn down
19:08it's been a long time Mr Moretti
19:11it's been a long time Mr Moretti

19:37after you left Scarla and I were done pretty quick

21:27I looked for you
21:29eight years
21:32Elena I'm sorry
21:35it's in the past
21:37ancient history Mr Moretti
21:39don't lose sleep over it
21:41something about my tone
21:42or maybe it was the name
21:44set him off
21:44he got agitated
21:45in the past?
21:47this is the only love I've ever
21:49I couldn't help it
21:50I laughed
21:51so that's what he calls love
21:54interesting
21:55Mr Moretti if there's nothing else I need to go
21:57Julian's waiting for me outside
22:00don't go
22:01have you been okay?
22:02all these years
22:06as you can see
22:07Julie and I are doing just fine
22:09I'd rather be back with Julian than sitting here listening to this
22:13we'd only been apart a few minutes and I already missed him
22:16I'm not
22:17so I kept glancing out the window
22:20Dante noticed
22:20every time my eyes drifted outside his face got a little darker
22:28then he'd rush to say something to put me back
22:30do you live in London?
22:33no
22:34where then? can you tell me?
22:37no
22:40no
22:40how long are you staying?
22:42will I see you again?
22:43I don't know
22:48Dante finally stopped holding me back
22:52go
22:53go find your husband
22:56I hope we meet again
22:57I let out a breath, stood up, and he called after me
23:01Elena!
23:03hmm?
23:06I never loved Scarlett
23:08she fooled me
23:09that's all it was
23:11I didn't react
23:12just nodded, turned, and started walking
23:14as I passed him he spoke again
23:16can you call me Dante?
23:18just once
23:19I didn't
23:20I'm someone else's wife now
23:21he just stood there
23:23a long time passed before he said quietly
23:25then can I call you baby?
23:28one last time
23:29that's your business
23:31nothing to do with me
23:33I was almost at the door when it came
23:35loud, almost a shout from behind me
23:38BABY!
23:40I turned my head
23:41Dante was standing at the entrance of the cafe
23:43he was streaming down his face
23:45I really miss you
23:46if I could do it over I wouldn't do that to you
23:49I gave him a small smile
23:51didn't stop, walked out
23:53Julian was right there
23:54he took my hand the second I stepped outside
23:57fingers laced
23:58same as before
23:59we walked back down the same street where we'd run into Dante
24:03London was still wet
24:04but the rain inside me had stopped
24:06we stayed in London for a month
24:08we didn't run into Dante again
24:10didn't hear a thing about him
24:12then, the day before we were set to leave
24:14the news hit
24:15two weeks ago a man had spent the last of his savings
24:18buying a small cafe on the corner of Carnaby Street
24:21last night he died there
24:23Dante
24:23I knew it instantly
24:24every drop of blood in my body was cold
24:29we rushed to the cafe together
24:31and it was Dante
24:32just as I had feared
24:33the scene was still taped off
24:35the body had already been taken away
24:38we waited a week
24:40the autopsy came back
24:41cause of death, chronic alcoholism, late stage stomach cancer
24:46my legs almost gave out
24:48his stomach was always bad
24:50when we were together I made sure he took his pills
24:52never let him drink on an empty stomach
24:55all these years on his own
24:57he probably didn't bother with any of it
24:59he had no one in London
25:01cut ties with the family years ago
25:04there wasn't even anyone to notify
25:06Julian and I handled the funeral arrangements
25:09going through what he left behind
25:11I found a journal
25:12he left it for me
25:14every page was filled
25:15years of searching for me
25:17all over the world
25:18far more detailed than what he told me in person
25:21he wrote
25:22after the last time I saw her
25:24I kept telling myself she's doing fine
25:26I shouldn't bother her but I can't help it
25:28especially that man
25:30the one she calls Julian
25:31I wanted to kill him, but I knew I couldn't
25:34it would hurt her
25:35day 18 since I saw Elena again and lost her again
25:39I miss her
25:41more than yesterday
25:42I can't stop it
25:43I just want to hold her
25:44this ring
25:45I picked it up off the floor that night
25:48if I'm gone and you're still in London
25:50take it with you
25:52the journal ended there
25:56Julian and I held a small funeral for Dante
25:59as friends, nothing more
26:01no family, no guests
26:03just the two of us and a local priest
26:06the headstone was simple
26:08just his name and the years he lived
26:10I placed the journal and the ring together at the base of the stone
26:16Dante
26:17I said softly, voice steady
26:20it's over, rest now
26:22I don't hate you
26:23and I don't forgive you
26:25we owe each other nothing
26:28I'm going to live well
26:30safe, whole, happy
26:32that's what you owed me
26:34and it's what I built for myself
26:37I stood there for a long time
26:39then I reached out and touched the cold stone at my fingertips
26:43not saying goodbye to a lover
26:45saying goodbye to a heavy past
26:47to the girl I used to be
26:49small, helpless, trampled under everyone's feet
26:53Julian's arm came around my shoulders
26:55let's go, let's go home
26:57I nodded, turned around, walked away
27:00this time, I didn't look back
27:03later Julian had the ring made into a necklace
27:06wear it
27:07I'm not going to be jealous of a dead man
27:12but I didn't put it on
27:13I locked it in a drawer
27:15that was the end of it
27:16everything between me and Dante
27:18all the love, all the damage
27:20finished
27:21I didn't need him watching over me
27:23not in any form, I never did
27:27after the funeral I got sick
27:29nothing serious
27:31just drained
27:31no energy, sleeping all the time
27:34low fever on and off
27:35Julian insisted on taking me to a doctor
27:39they couldn't find anything wrong
27:41but I knew what it was
27:42some kind of withdrawal
27:44like when you finally set down something
27:46you've been carrying your whole life
27:47and your body doesn't know what to do without them
27:50Julian took time off work
27:51stayed home with me everyday
27:53he never asked what's wrong
27:55just stayed close
27:56made me pasta
27:58pulled the blanket over me
27:59held my hand while I slept
28:01I woke up half conscious and heard him on the balcony
28:04yes, her mood is stable, just a bit tired
28:06don't worry, I'll take care of her
28:08yes, for now, don't let her come into contact with anything related to that side
28:13six months after Dante died, someone tracked me down
28:17Mr. Moretti left a will
28:19the cafe on Carnabut Street is yours
28:23it was his last wish
28:26I won't accept it
28:29his last wish was for me to be happy
28:31and my happiness now has nothing to do with him
28:35sell the cafe
28:36donate the money to girls who have nowhere to go after being bullied
28:42this is our decision
28:43thank you for coming all this way
28:49after the man left, Julian came back and found me staring at nothing on the couch
28:53he sat down next to me, arm around my shoulders
28:56reluctant?
28:57no, I just suddenly feel that world is so far away
29:04after the funeral, I got sick
29:06nothing serious
29:08just drained, no energy
29:10sleeping all the time, low fever on and off
29:13Julian insisted on taking me to a doctor
29:16they couldn't find anything wrong

29:21like when you finally set down something you've been carrying your whole life
29:25and your body doesn't know what to do without it
29:27Julian took time off work
29:28stayed home with me everyday
29:31he never asked what's wrong
29:32just stayed close
29:34made me faster
29:35pulled the blanket over him
29:37held my hand while I slept
29:38I woke up half conscious and heard him on the balcony
29:41yes, her mood is stable
29:43just a bit tired
29:44don't worry, I'll take care of her
29:46yes, for now, don't let her come into contact with anything related to that side

29:52someone tracked me down
29:54Mr. Moretti left a will
29:57the cafe on Carnabut Street is yours
30:00it was his last wish
30:04I won't accept it
30:06his last wish was for me to be happy
30:08and my happiness now has nothing to do with him

30:27after the man left, Julian came back and found me staring at nothing on the couch
30:30he sat down next to me, arm around my shoulders
30:33reluctant?
30:34no, I just suddenly feel that world is so far away
30:42after Dante died, I never thought about the name Scarlet again
30:46but the world is small
30:48one year I was in Rome on business
30:51walked past a community rehabilitation center
30:55there was a woman out front
30:56grey hair, face aged beyond her
30:59a nurse pushing her, letting her get some sun
31:02Ms. Marcelli, time to go back
31:04Scarlet, she seemed to hear something in the air
31:08lifted her head slowly
31:10completely without warning
31:11she was thin
31:13unrecognizably so
31:14deep exhaustion behind her eyes
31:17numb
31:18I stood there, it took me a while to come back to myself
31:21Carm is a bitch
31:23she didn't escape it either
31:25Dante's journal had mentioned it
31:27don't push me, don't push me
31:30I did nothing wrong
31:31ended up the same as my mother
31:34jumped off a roof
31:35she didn't die, broke her spine
31:37spent the rest of her life in that chair
31:40I didn't feel satisfaction
31:42didn't feel pity either
31:43just calm
31:45not the cold kind
31:46not the kind where you pretend you didn't cheat
31:50it was a late autumn afternoon
31:52Lydia once asked me
31:53do you hate your mother?
31:56I thought about it for a long time
31:58I hated her when I was a child
32:01hated her for what she did
32:02hated her for making me live under those insults
32:05also hated her for leaving too early
32:08abandoning me alone in this world
32:09Aunt Lydia listened
32:11didn't interrupt
32:11but later I stopped hating
32:15she made a mistake and paid with her life
32:19Elena, you know
32:21your mother called me before she died
32:25she said she regretted it deeply
32:27that the she wronged most in her life was you
32:31she asked me if possible to find you and take care of you for her
32:35I kept my head down
32:36I didn't say anything
32:38Aunt Lydia took my hand
32:40I think you should know this
32:43and in that last phone call she was a decent mother
32:47I started to cry
32:49after a long while I got up and put my arms around her
32:53she gave birth to me
32:55you saved me
32:57silly girl
32:58I just sent a helicopter
33:00you climbed up yourself
33:02we both laughed
33:03yeah
