02:42Dominic!
03:09Dominic
03:10Dominic stopped and turned, his tone calm.
03:41Dominic
08:46I didn't move a muscle
08:48Victoria pushed the door open
08:50A smirk on her face
08:51Her thug behind her was holding a dog on a leash
08:53And he tossed the chain onto my body
08:55The dog jumped its paws around
08:58Leaving a trail of muddy paw prints
08:59Across my white wedding dress
09:01Mr. Russo's got something else going on
09:02Elena, you'll just have to go through the modems with this dog
09:05He'll come later to swap rings
09:06Swearing vows with a dog? That's not right
09:09Mr. Russo says either you do it with the dog
09:11Or you don't do it at all
09:12Your family's call
09:14Dad's voice died in his throat
09:15He shot me a hateful look
09:17Mom pushed me forward
09:19Listen to Dominic
09:21Thank God it's you marrying Dominic in the end
09:24If it were Bella in this situation
09:26I'd be heartbroken
09:29I looked at her and said nothing
09:31After texting Alexander my location
09:33I took Dad's arm and walked down the aisle
09:36He handed me over to the dog
09:39Down below, camera shutterts and laughter
09:41Rippled through the crowd
09:42She's really that desperate for Mr. Russo?
09:44She's doing it willingly
09:45She's been crawling after Mr. Russo for over 20 years to get the top spot
09:47She'd sleep with a pig if she had to, never mind a dog
09:49The ceremony was almost over when the roar of Hengen's came from outside
09:52I stood up and walked toward the door
09:54Dominic got out of the car
09:56Holding a pair of scissors
10:09I stood there, not moving
10:11What are you waiting for?
10:13I still didn't move, my eyes drifted past the crowd
10:16Down to the winding road at the foot of the hill
10:18Looks like you still haven't learned your lesson
10:19Save your axe, play too far, you're just a joke
10:21Dominic let out a cold laugh
10:23He tossed the scissors at me
10:24I heard the rumble of cars in my ears
10:26A black dot appeared in everyone's line of sight
10:28At the foot of the hill
10:30A black Rolls-Royce phantom led the way
10:32Followed by over a hundred cars stretching out of sight
10:34Why such a huge offer?
10:36Is someone else getting married today?
10:37Dominic's brow frontaled sharply
10:39I walked straight in that direction
10:40The back door of the lead car was pushed open from the inside
10:43And Alexander stepped out
10:45He walked his arm around my waist in front of everyone
10:47Fireworks exploded across the sky
10:49The moment everyone saw Alexander's face
10:51The whole chichel gasped
10:53Lena, I'm here to marry you
10:57Dominic's face turned instantly
10:59Violently panicked
11:02Alexander's hand on my waist was warm and firm
11:07His other hand held up a marriage certificate
11:09With New York City Hall's steel seal
11:11Alexander Volkv?
11:13The Volkv of the East Coast Five Families?
11:15His grandpa's name is on every landmark in the city
11:16No way
11:17How did Elena land the Volkvix?
11:19Wasn't she chasing Dominic for over 20 years?
11:22A hundred plus luxury cars
11:24Who else on the East Coast pulls off that kind of spectacle?
11:27A few front row female guests
11:28Squished over in heels
11:29Wearing groveling smiles
11:31Miss, no, no, Mrs. Volkv
11:35Congratulations on your wedding
11:37I knew Elena was no ordinary girl
11:39She had this planned all along
11:43Everyone crowded around Alexander and me
11:46Faces reeled in flattering smiles
11:54Mr. Russo?
11:57Dominic didn't even glance at her
11:59He stared hard at the marriage certificate
12:05Dad shoved through the crowd
12:07And rushed right up to me
12:09Elena, this
12:10Who is this gentleman?
12:14Mr. Moretti
12:15Mrs. Moretti
12:16Elena and I signed our marriage license
12:17At City Hall last week
12:19I'm here today to hold a proper ceremony for her
12:23Mom covered her mouth
12:25Eyes reddening instantly
12:26Grabbed my hand
12:27Tears spilling down
12:28Elena, why didn't you tell us something this big?
12:31Her voice was brimming with sheer glee
12:32Watching her tears
12:33I remembered her calling me unable to keep a man
12:36Pushing me to obey Dominic
12:37Saying thank God it wasn't my sister
12:39I pulled my hand slowly out of her glass
12:41Mr. Volkv
12:43Elena's been spoiled by us
12:45She has a temper
12:45Please be patient with her
12:47She has a wonderful temperament
12:48I'm the lucky one
12:50Mom's words caught in her throat
12:52She didn't dare say another word
12:56Impossible
12:56Dominic lift his head sharply
12:58His whole face twisted with disbelief
13:01He stepped forward
13:01Staring me down intently
13:03Elena, you love me
13:05You've followed me since sixteen
13:06You never looked at anyone else
13:08His atomajokel bobbed hard
13:10You got someone to make me jealous, didn't you?
13:12Before I spoke
13:13Alexander tucked hair behind my ear
13:15His fingertip brushing my ear
13:17Casual and intimate
13:18He glanced at Dominic and smiled
13:20Mr. Russo
13:21My wife had bad eyesight
13:23She's all better now
13:25Stifled laughter rippled around us
13:27Dominic's face darkened instantly
13:30He reached out to grab my wrist
13:32Alexander's bodyguard stepped in
13:34And blocked his hand
13:35Mr. Russo
13:37Please have some respect
13:38Dominic stumbled back half a step
13:40He stared at me
13:41Eyes red
13:43His voice almost a roared
13:45Elena!
13:47Tell me you signed that to piss me off
13:49Say it and I'll-
13:50And then what?
13:51My tone was completely flat
13:53Between you and me
13:54There was never anything at all
13:57Dominic went pale as a sheet
13:58Lips moving silently
13:59Staring at me for a long time
14:01Mr. Russo, excuse us
14:02Alexander took my hand
14:03Lacing our fingers together
14:04He opened the door
14:05And bent down to fasten my seatbelt
14:06The engine roared
14:07Dominic stepped forward
14:07I leaned on Alexander's shoulder
14:09As we drove off
14:09Church bells struck twelve
14:10A long overdue end to the farce
14:12The Volkoff wedding was set
14:13For the Plaza Hotel
14:14The whole east coast was shaken
14:16When word got out
14:17On the wedding day
14:19Alexander's mother flew in
14:20From Switzerland
14:21In a navy Chanel couture suit
14:24Her gaze swept the crowd
14:25And landed straight on me
14:27So this is Elena
14:28She took my hand
14:29And put an emerald necklace
14:30Around my neck
14:31The ladies all gasped
14:32Pure green
14:33Exquisitely cut
14:34Clearly a three generation heirloam
14:36Natasha padded the back of my hand
14:38This is the Volkoff family tradition
14:39I've worn it for thirty years
14:41Now it's yours
14:42Mrs. Volkoff
14:43This is far too precious
14:44Our Elena
14:45Precious is exactly what Elena deserves
14:47I knew she was one of us
14:48The moment I saw her
14:49Dad drifted around the room
14:50Shoes clicking on marble
14:51Telling everyone our Elena
14:53Married into the Vox
14:54I sat at the head table
14:55Twisting the heavy emerald necklace
14:56And said nothing
14:59Meanwhile all hell broke loose
15:00At the Russo house
15:01Victoria stood at the door
15:02And repeated Alexander's wedding words
15:04From today on
15:04All Volkoff business on the east coast
15:06Will no longer partner
15:07With the Russo family
15:08Dominic's Montblanc pen
15:09Froze mid-stroke instantly
15:11No need to wait until the next day
15:12That night their stock dropped
15:14Eight points in free fall
15:15Over a woman
15:16You've disgraced the Russo name
15:17Don Russo chewed him out
15:18For forty minutes
15:19Dominic didn't defend himself
15:21His black Rolls Royce phantom
15:22Stayed outside the plaza all night
15:24Dozens of cigarette bets
15:26Littered the ground
15:27At least thirty or forty
15:28The guard saw windows rolled tight
15:31No light inside at all
15:32Only a phone screen now and then
15:34Lit up a pale face
15:36He'd gotten wedding photos
15:37Alexander kneeling
15:38Slipping a crystal shoe on my foot
15:40Warm gold light over us both
15:42Dominic stared at the photo
15:43For a long time
15:44Then he smashed his phone
15:46Hard against the steering wheel
15:47The horn blared for ten seconds
15:49Outside the plaza at four a.m
15:51Sir are you okay?
15:53The guard knocked
15:54He rolled down the window
15:55Bloodshot eyes startling him
15:57He said nothing
15:59Started the engine
16:00And sped off into the dark
16:03The next day
16:04I got a text on my phone
16:09The sender was an unsaved number
16:11But I recognized it instantly
16:13Elena
16:14Come back
16:16What happened after
16:18I heard from other people
16:23Dominic locked himself in his office
16:24Drinking bottle after bottle
16:26When his men pushed in
16:28He was slumped over his desk
16:30Blood on his lip
16:34They pumped his stomach
16:35He lay in bed
16:36Ashen like a corpse
16:38She used to make me hangover soup
16:40His men looked down
16:41Not daring to reply
16:42I came back puking once
16:45She stayed till 3 a.m
16:47By the bed
16:47His voice grew softer and softer
16:49Mr. Russo
16:51That was Elena
16:52Not Bella
16:53The ward went silent for ages
16:54Ivy dripped slowly
16:56The sky pitched black outside
16:58Dominic closed his eyes
17:00Adam's kettle bobbing a few times
17:02I know
17:04For the first time in 20 years
17:06He mentioned me without my sister
17:09On day 7 after the wedding
17:11Dad called
17:12I was on Alexander's lap
17:13Eating grapes
17:14I spit grape skin on the tissue
17:16He handed me
17:17Silently
17:17Elena my girl
17:18Have you eaten?
17:19Your mom misses you
17:19Come home soon
17:21That Manhattan land plot
17:23Put in a good word
17:24With Alexander for us
17:25Dad too many eyes are on that land
17:26Even Alexander can't break the rules
17:28Right?
17:29His breathing grew heavy
17:30A few seconds of silence
17:31You married well
17:32And now you disown your family?
17:34Alexander's fingers paused
17:35While peeling a grape
17:36When you made me swear vows with a dog
17:38Did you call me family?
17:40Elena
17:40We raised you
17:42If Bella were here
17:43You'd never marry a Volkov
17:44This is Moretti
17:45Family matters go through her assistant
17:46From now on
17:47The voice cut off
17:48He hung up and powered it off
17:50I froze
17:50Then laughed
17:51Elena
17:52I was wrong
17:53Your dad's lost weight
17:54Come home please
17:55I held the phone
17:56Watching the fountain
17:57Sunlight glinted bright on the water
17:59Mom
18:00Her sobbing paused
18:02Pretend you never had me
18:04You only ever needed Bella
18:05As your daughter
18:06Elena
18:07I hung up
18:08Blocked both their numbers entirely
18:12Two days later
18:13I went to the spa for a facial
18:15The lavender scent of the essential oil
18:17Hadn't even spread
18:18Before the door was suddenly pushed open
18:20From the outside
18:21The esthetician was so startled
18:23She nearly dropped the oil bottle
18:25On my face
18:27Dominic stood in the doorway
18:28He had lost a lot of weight
18:29His suit hung loose on his frame
18:31There was a purplish bruise on his cheekbone
18:34Elena
18:35I was never with Bella
18:38I took off my mask
18:39And sat up
18:43The days you were gone
18:44I thought about it every day
18:45About the hangover soup you made me
18:47About you waiting in the living room
18:49Until three in the morning
18:49About how you loved me
18:50For over twenty years
18:52And I
18:55I realized it way too late
18:58Mr. Russo
18:59What's that bruise on your cheekbone?
19:01He touched the bruise intinctively
19:03Fingers curled
19:04Saying nothing
19:05Footsteps came from the doorway
19:08He leaned against the frame
19:09Holding my coat
19:10Glancing at Dominic
19:11With a faint smile
19:13Mr. Russo
19:14Didn't you get enough
19:15At the gym yesterday?
19:16Dominic's face twitched
19:18Fists clenched tight
19:19Knuckles white
19:20Alexander walked in
19:21Draped my coat over me
19:23And wrapped an arm around my waist
19:24If you come looking for my wife again
19:27I don't mind sending the Russo stock price
19:29Down a little further
19:30You think she loves you?
19:32She's with you despite me!
19:33He kept walking
19:34Pressing a warm kiss to my forehead
19:37What do you want for dinner tonight?
19:39Italian
19:43No one looked back
19:46Word of my sister's return
19:47Came from a distant aunt
19:49I didn't reach out
19:51She texted first
19:53Her tone gentle and careful
19:59We met at a quiet little cafe
20:01She was thinner
20:02Sharper jawed
20:03But seemed in good spirits
20:05The first thing she said was direct and blunt
20:09I broke up with that boyfriend
20:12She stared at her coffee
20:13Fingers twisting the cup rim abstantly
20:16We were almost engaged
20:17But he was so controlling
20:20Checked my phone
20:21Followed me
20:22Pushed me once
20:23Last time he shoved me
20:24I hit my head on the table
20:28He stood there
20:29And said I asked for it
20:31I had no family in London
20:33I bore it all alone
20:36She didn't go on
20:37Her eyes reddening
20:39I topped up her coffee for her
20:42Good you ended it
20:44You did the right thing
20:48The cafe door was shoved hard from the outside
20:51Dominic strode in
20:52His suit buttons clausen crookedly
20:55His eyes skipped past my sister
20:56Locking on me
20:57Eyes rimmed red
20:59Elena
21:00I hadn't moved
21:01My sister stood up sharply
21:03She stepped between us and raised her hand to slap him
21:06The whole cafe went silent
21:09His head snapped to the side
21:11A bright red hand mark bloomed on his cheek
21:14Her hand hung in midair
21:16Fingers trembling slightly
21:18Her voice was clear and sharp
21:20Dominic Russo
21:21You ruined our family
21:23How dare you show up
21:24You made her marry a dog
21:26Locked her up three days without water
21:28You only cared about me
21:30But you destroyed her every time
21:33He held his face
21:35Adam's joint bobbing
21:36Voice rusky
21:37Bella let me explain
21:38You make me sick
21:41She grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of the cafe
21:48Once outside and around the corner
21:50She finally let go
21:52She leaned against the wall
21:53Breathing deep
21:54Eyes still red
21:55Finfer gone the trade just as speared red
21:58She looked right at me
21:59I'm not going home
22:01Mom cried three hours begging me to talk you around
22:05I asked if they ever spoke up for you back then
22:08She hemmed in haws on the phone
22:11Guess what she said next
22:16They want me to marry Dominic to save the business
22:19Funny, right?
22:20We're just goods for Dominic to pick from
22:23I said nothing
22:24Tucking her wind-tossled hair behind her ear
22:26She grabbed hold of my wrist tight
22:30The side without the bracelet
22:32Held very tight
22:34She rented a small west side apartment
22:37Carrying her suitcase all by herself
22:39She unlocked the door and stepped inside
22:44Starting fresh in her own space
22:49Moving day
22:50She dragged one 28-inch suitcase alone
22:53No movers hired
22:54Her hairline was damp with sweat
22:56Stepping out of the cab
22:58I went downstairs to meet her
23:00I carried a bag of toiletries upstairs for her
23:03The flat was small
23:05One bed, one living room
23:07But the natural light was excellent
23:11Mom and Dad found his dad found the address
23:13And waited downstairs to corner her
23:15They stood downstairs for nearly an hour straight
23:19She went down
23:20Opened the door
23:21Stood in the doorway
23:24She didn't take a single thing from them
23:26Mom sat down on the hallway floor and cried
23:31Her cries were loud and desperate
23:34New Year's Eve
23:35Alexander set off fireworks on the estate lawn
23:38Custom-made bursts
23:40Golden sparks in his eyes as he looked down
23:43My phone lit up briefly
23:45Elena, Happy New Year
23:47I made your favorite childhood lasagna
23:49Your sister won't come home
23:51The table's half empty
23:52Just us two
23:53Between bursts
23:54The cold screen glow lit up those words
23:57I didn't reply
23:58Turned the phone face down on my knee
24:01Overhead
24:02Fireworks burst into a golden sea
24:05intenations
24:05And now
24:06For theисл minimum
24:06you
24:06Only
24:06Jesus
24:06You
24:06You
24:06Clear
