Episode 4

The lock clicks from outside.
The door doesn't budge.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
This stall is taken.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
Please try another one, sir.
It was hard to let out a voice
She wanted to scream her lungs off but she felt her throat being blocked.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
Miss Felicity.
She was surprised when she heard his voice.
She strains harder to let out her broken voice and make out words.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
Wh-what are you doing here?
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
I saw you rush here, is anything the matter?
She whispers.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
You psycopath.
He tries opening the door again, startling her.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
Open this door or I'll shoot it down.
She hears a gun click.
He was serious.
She was always scared of guns.
The feeling in her hands when she shot a person for the first time.
The ringing in her ears that would fade away after a while.
The pain it caused, the fear it inflicted.
She loved it.
And the more she loved it, the more she was scared of it.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
*covers her ears* don't!
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
Then open it.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
W-why should I?...
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
Okay then, close your ears then, I don't carry silencers.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
'This man'. Wait!
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
O-okay, I'll open it. Please don't shoot.
Unbothered by the wet tears on her face, she stretches out her hand and unlocks the door.
He enters the now cramped stall and locks the door.
His eyes narrow when he sees her messed up face.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
Tears.
She immediately wipes them from her face and looks aside.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
Why are you crying?
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
What happened?
Her eyes glare at him.
How could he not know?
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
*Mumbles* You psycopath.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
Sorry?
Her teary eyes don't stop.
She stands up and holds him by his collar.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
You psycopath!
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
People, normal people cry and console each other when they've lost a person!
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
Hey...
He holds her hands.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
I'll kill you if you tell me to calm down.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
'What should I do?'
She glares at him, and looks aside.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
They're gone, my mom, my brother...
She collapses onto him and lays her head on his chest.
Her grip loosens as his tightens.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
Everyone wants to leave me.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
Ngnnh!
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
I can't take this anymore.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
Don't cry Felicity.
She breathes.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
Sciti.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
What?
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
Call me Sciti.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
It soothes me.
She didn't care anymore.
She wanted comfort and consolation.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
Just call me Sciti.
She didn't have the luxury to choose who was gonna give her.
He hugs her tight and strokes her head as she buries her head on his chest.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
Okay, Sciti.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
You're gonna be okay.
Sciti.
Hearing him say that comforted her.
It made her remember the little happy moments in the family.
Before her father tossed her off to Sanders.
Before her life turned upside down.

Guns
Money.
More guns and more money.
Losses and profits.
Life and death.
And endless cycle.
And she felt like she was at the center of all of it.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
They're gone..
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
How will I be okay?
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
I don't have anyone now.
She trembles as she clutches his suit tighter.
Her head hurt and she felt her eyes sore up.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
It's okay, you're okay.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
...
She keeps crying and sniffling under him.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
I'll be here for you Sciti.
He feels her fast heartbeats and can't help but smile.
She was really in his arms.
A small victory.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
Thanks...
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
I'm sorry for all this.
She pushes herself from him but he doesn't budge.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
Let me go now, I'm fine.
She hadn't even realized they were both on the floor.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
Let go of me now.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
No.
He looks at her red puffy eyes.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
Not yet.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
You won't be fine.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
Cry till you can't anymore.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
Go ahead, I'm here for you.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
...
Those words trigger her and her eyes narrow. Tears again.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
Crazy...
She says as she leans back to him and cries.
Moments later.
Roy
Roy
Sciti!
He shouts her name when he sees her pass through the moving patients and nurses in the halls.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
What happened?
His face doesn't seem right.
She becomes nervous.
Roy
Roy
The surgery, it wasn't a success.
Roy
Roy
They couldn't take a small shard of glass out his brain.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
Why? They can try again...
Roy
Roy
He was lucky enough he didn't die immediately but it's fatal.
Roy
Roy
He's not gonna make till tomorrow.
Roy
Roy
He wants to talk to you now.
He looks at Raziel. Alerting him.
Roy
Roy
You too, Mr. Russo.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
Me?..
Roy
Roy
Yes. Please, by all means, enter.
They both head inside and she sees her father, weak and on the bed.
She moves to the left side of the bed, blocking his view.
She expects a smack on the head or a gun pointed at her.
Or at least a heavy cussing.
But he does nothing.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
Father.
He glares at her when she calls him that name.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
'If looks could kill.'
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
Mr. De Luca...
Mario Luca
Mario Luca
Sit.
She reluctantly obeys, her fingers turn cold.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
...
Mario Luca
Mario Luca
I know you resent me.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
'Of course I do.'
How could she not.
He gave her nightmares.
He was her nightmare.
She looks down, unaware of what to say.
Mario Luca
Mario Luca
I never could imagine you making another family prosper and almost beat mine.
Raziel tries to hide his laughter.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
You took me there.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
You sold me, I was a hostage.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
You said I was useless collateral.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
I just did what-
Mario Luca
Mario Luca
I believe I told you to never interrupt me.
Mario Luca
Mario Luca
*coughs* *coughs* when, when I talk.
Mario Luca
Mario Luca
I heard what happened... *implying Sanders cheating on her*
Her eyes don't move.
His throat relaxes as he takes deep breaths.
Mario Luca
Mario Luca
I also didn't imagine I would be counting hours till my death.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
And now here we are.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
You're imagination doesn't run as wild as your ideas father.
He doesn't interrupt her this time.
Mario Luca
Mario Luca
Listen, here.
He summons Roy who comes along with a voice recorder and his computer.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
What are you doing?
He clearly sees her confusion but doesn't tell her.
Raziel smiles at her.
Raziel Russo
Raziel Russo
You'll be fine.
He mouths to her and Mario notices.
Roy
Roy
Ready Sir. You can start now.
He turns on the device and Mario inhales before talking.
Mario Luca
Mario Luca
I, Mario De Luca, pass on my rank as the Boss to the De Luca Family to my last next of kin, my daughter.
Her eyes widen.
She was too caught up to think about the future.
She looks at the three men who smile back at her.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
'What do you mean old man? '
Her eyes ask the question.
Mario Luca
Mario Luca
...All my assets are to be passed onto her as per the rules along with the influence I hold.
She knows something is up.
He wouldn't dare give her everything on a silver platter, especially since she was a 'woman'.
He was disgusted by her, even though she was the first born.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
What are you saying, y-you'll be fine father.
Mario Luca
Mario Luca
I already know what's going to happen.
Mario Luca
Mario Luca
She will have all this, along with the power to control and expand the territory, under one condition.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
'Of course, nothing is free in this world.'
Mario Luca
Mario Luca
She cuts all ties with the Gentile family...
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
'I'm miles ahead of you old man.'
Mario Luca
Mario Luca
...and...
She notices Roy's uneasiness and Raziel's beaming smile.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
N-no.
She stands up, almost stumbles.
Felicity Luca
Felicity Luca
Don't say that-
Mario Luca
Mario Luca
...marries the Boss of the Russo family for further discussions that the Consigliere will disclose after the wedding.
She saw the contept look in his eyes.
Mario Luca
Mario Luca
'You're never gonna have your fair share of men, are you?'
Is what they said.
