Original subtitles

I was an angel of pure light.

Now I've fallen so far that I'm sharing a bed with a demon.

Go back to heaven, or admit you've loved this demon in both lifetimes.

Then hate me. Kiss me.

Stay bound to me until death takes us both.

Come any closer and I'll tear your throat out.

Do all angels have a death wish or is it just you? Kill me and you won't make it

through the night.

If heaven finds out you saved me, they'll tear off your wings themselves.

They're my wings.

I'll pay the price.

Ordinary healing magic won't work.

Only a life and death pact can hold the holy poison back.

What's the price? We'll share each other's pain.

We'll share our life signs, too.

It's not too late to change your mind.

Light and dark, born of one source.

By this pact, one life, one death.

From now on, wherever you go,

I'll find you.

Nora! How dare you harbor a demon!

No matter what you become, I'll find you.

Good morning, Mrs. Vale. Mrs. Vale, here are the bars scheduled for inspection

today.

I've finally found you.

Today's our sixth anniversary.

Daniel's going to propose tonight. I just know it.

Thank

you all

for coming to celebrate my birthday.

And I have one more announcement.

Aaron and I are making it official next month.

I supported you for six years, and this is how you repay me? By getting engaged

to another woman? You were there when I had nothing.

Aaron's the one who can give me a future.

We're done.

Give me back my half of the company.

You stole the company and dumped $400,000 of debt on me? Your signature

is on every document.

That debt is yours now. There's no walking away from it.

Mrs. Bennett?

If we don't receive your mother's surgery deposit by tomorrow afternoon,

we'll have to postpone her operation.

Go on. Pick it up. It might buy your mother a few more days' worth of

painkillers.

That light.

Could it really be you?

You went this far just to ruin Daniel's birthday, even pulling some cheap magic

trick? Why would I waste my time ruining a party for a liar and his mistress?

If you've got so much pride, don't touch a cent of that money.

Keep it. You'll need it to support that useless man of yours.

Have a drink with me.

I'll wipe out your debt.

Get your hands off me.

Apologize to our guest right now, or you're paying for every cent of the

damage tonight. He grabbed me first, and I didn't smash those glasses.

She'll do anything for money.

Don't believe a word she says.

It's her.

I finally found her.

Did you really have to get this close to save me?

I've spent a hundred years without you.

Grab them both!

Which

hand

did you touch her with?

I didn't.

So many people have to hurt you.

Who are you really?

Can't bring yourself to hurt me?

I just don't want to end up with a murder charge.

Still sharp-tongued and soft-hearted, just like before.

We've never even met.

Security! Get this monster!

This is my club.

You don't get to tell me how to run it.

Mrs. Vale, I didn't realize it was you.

Then let's start over.

Adriana Vale, the demon who spent a hundred years looking for you.

Nora Bennett.

And I don't let anyone make my choices for me.

You're harder to get closer than I remember.

But this time, I have all the time in the world.

Where am I?

My bedroom.

I saved you last night, and then you clung to me and wouldn't let go.

Thank you, but I should go.

You scraped your leg.

Let me put some ointment on it.

It's just ointment. Do you have to rub it in that slowly?

I don't want to hurt you.

Move your hand.

That's enough. You're done.

Adriana. Mrs.

Bennett, will you be able to pay your mother's surgery deposit?

There's $50,000 on this card. That should cover the surgery deposit.

I need the money.

But I'm not selling myself for it. I'm offering you a job as my live-in

assistant.

One day, I want you to stay because you want to.

30 days as my live-in assistant.

50,000 up front.

Deal.

The Veil Group Charity Gala is tomorrow night. Are you planning to go alone

again? Nora will be my date tomorrow night.

That's outside a live-in assistant's job description.

I want triple pay.

Fine. Triple pay.

Here's three. I'll take him in your solder.

Ms. Bailey wants you to sort through the old files behind the bookcase.

Hurries to this?

We told you you could come in here.

Adriana!

I'm the angel you've been looking for.

But I don't have her memories.

I don't even remember loving you. I won't force you.

Leave.

Mrs. Vale needs me.

Why did you stop?

You kissed me to save me, not because you feel the same way.

What if I never get those memories back?

What if I can never give you the answer you want? Then I'll accept your

rejection.

I chose to wait a hundred years.

You sent Nora into the Forbidden Room on purpose. You wanted me to drive her

away. I only wanted to see if she was worthy of standing by your side. Whether

she stays is her choice.

Use the Manor's rules to test her again, and you'll lose your authority as

housekeeper.

I'll be your date at the gala tomorrow night.

Mrs. Vale has never brought a date before. I heard she's been searching for

an angel for a hundred years. Could she be the one?

Why is everyone staring?

Because you're the first date I've ever brought to an event as my date.

So they don't know who I am?

They will soon.

I heard Mrs. Vale plans to give that angel the black crystal necklace

herself. It's a Vale family heirloom reserved for the lady of the house.

Who is this angel?

Miss Vale actually spent a hundred years looking for her? As long as we win that

angel's favor, our company is safe.

The woman with Miss Vale?

That's Nora!

Dancing with you is part of the job, too?

Call it overtime.

I'll pay you extra.

Mrs. Vale, something urgent needs your attention.

Nothing major. Ten minutes.

I'll be back.

Keep it on. Wait for me.

Nora? What are you doing here?

Did Mrs. Vale hire you to wait on the angel tonight? You don't even know who

she is and you're already bringing her gifts?

You really think you're in Mrs. Vale's league?

Give this to the angel for us. And don't even think about stealing what's inside.

You're using money you stole from me to win an angel's favor?

I'll show everyone exactly what you are. You were there when I had nothing.

Erin's the one who can give me a funeral.

A doctored recording? That's the best you've got? You know exactly what's fake

here.

Nora stole Mrs. Vale's black crystal necklace!

Pulling the same trick twice only proves you've got nothing else.

Only a true angel could wield that kind of power. Could Nora really be the angel

Mrs. Vale has been searching for?

Impossible. She's just some penniless nobody.

Manager! Get security!

Restrain her now!

You don't even deserve to speak of angels. No matter what that angel is

like! She could never be someone like you!

That's for mistaking kindness for weakness again and again.

Miss Vale, we caught her stealing the heirloom you meant for the angel.

We even punished the thief on your angel's behalf.

May I take your hand?

The angel!

Nora Bennett is the angel I've spent a hundred years searching for.

Now tell me, who laid hands on her?

Mrs. Vale, I had no idea Miss Bennett was the angel you'd been searching for.

Erin was the one who grabbed the necklace first!

Daniel smashed her phone and tried to force her to kneel!

I'll ask once.

Which hand did you use to touch her?

She attacked first. I was only trying to break it up.

It was a misunderstanding!

I thought she'd stolen the necklace!

Pull up the gala security footage.

That angle makes it look worse than it was. I can explain.

This hand?

One of you lived off his fiancee and played the gentleman. The other used

family money to steal what wasn't hers. You two really do deserve each other.

Nora, you're still on the hook for the company's debt. And I haven't forgotten

who built that company one dollar at a time.

Effective immediately, Vale Group is suspending all business dealings with

Miller Company.

Legal, place a hold on their $400,000 donation and trace the source of the

funds. Yes, Miss Vale.

No.

Without Vale, we're finished.

Kneel where she was standing.

You can't make business decisions based on a personal grudge. This is an abuse

of power!

The recording, the falsified accounts, and proof that you illegally dumped $400

,000 of debt on Nora will all be filed with the court tomorrow morning. Those

documents prove nothing!

Get to my level before you lecture me on how to do business.

Daniel prepared every document. He tricked Nora into signing them. I had

nothing to do with any of it!

What did you just say? I'm not the- to prison for a con artist who's about to

go bankrupt you dangled the parker family's resources in front of me now

that i'm going down you're pinning it off get off me without me you'd still be

begging nora to cover your rent you vicious it's all me doing

nora you think ruining

me means you'll get your company back

Then let the market, the courts, and everyone you lied to see exactly what

you did.

No.

That's impossible.

No! They can't do this to me!

Nora, please!

Make Ms. Vale stop!

When you tried to force me to kneel, did you ever think you'd be the one begging?

I was wrong!

You can have the necklace, the company, the money. I don't want it! Any of it!

She's lying. The account and the company have nothing to do with me.

Next time, it won't be air I burn through.

I'll talk.

Erin has three shell firm pennies. She moved the money into offshore accounts.

Daniel!

While Nora was taking care of her mother.

I tricked her into signing blank authorization forms.

I used them to move the money and dump the debt on her.

while I was sitting beside my mother's hospital bed.

You were planning to take everything from me.

I'll give it all back. The house, the shares, every dollar in the accounts,

I'll give it all back.

Drop the lawsuit and the company's yours too.

Look at her.

Say, please forgive me.

Nora, please forgive us. You can't buy forgiveness just by kneeling.

Make their statements part of the official record and file them with the

court.

Understood. Continue the gala. Once the source of the funds has been verified,

donate the full $400,000 to the local women's legal aid fund.

Here's your gown back, and thank you for last night.

Just a thank you?

Once I get my company back, I'll buy you a drink.

I could make Daniel lose everything today.

He stole my company and dumped his debt on me.

I need to take it back myself.

You don't have to do this alone.

Then stand behind me and watch me win.

As you wish, my angel.

Easy. Control your breathing first.

Are you sure this is supposed to be a lesson?

This part of the shooting lesson, too?

We started it.

That's enough for today.

Next time, don't expect me to be this well-behaved.

Don't move.

I'm going to the office, not on a date.

Who says it can't be both?

Chin up.

Let them see who Miller Company really belongs to.

How's that?

Keep that up, and you're not making it out the door today.

The car's outside.

Let's go take back what's yours.

Nora staged the whole thing.

She exploited Mrs. Vale's obsession with her and seduced her into taking revenge

on us.

So the accounts and the debt transfer were fabricated, too? Of course.

Nora embezzled $400,000 from the company. She only turned on me because

she was afraid I'd expose her. That demon threatened to burn us alive.

We only knelt because we thought she'd kill us. Miss Aaron, can you comment on

the accusation?

She actually has the nerve to come back?

I heard she used Mrs. Vale to take over the company.

The court has issued an asset preservation order. Ms. Bennett is

legally authorized to participate in the interim transfer process.

Open the financial system now.

Mr. Miller's orders. You're not allowed past this point.

I'm a shareholder in this company.

You have no right to keep me out.

Nora. Perfect timing.

Nora Bennett?

That's me.

I'm accusing her of embezzling $400,000 from the company.

His accusation alone isn't enough to arrest my client.

Mrs. Bennett, we have a warrant for your arrest.

Your mother's still in the hospital.

Do you really want to sit in a cell waiting to hear how her surgery went?

You'd better pray she's safe. If anything happens to her, I won't even

give you the chance to regret it.

These walls can't hold me. The second you use demonic power to get me out,

Daniel gets exactly what he wants. Proof that a demon is manipulating the justice

system.

I can't just stand here while they keep you locked up. Then don't hand them the

proof they're looking for.

Trust me, just this once.

Say the word and I'll take you home.

At the time of the transfer, Nora was at the hospital caring for her mother. The

login came from a device in Daniel's office.

There are serious gaps in the evidence. You're free to go while we continue

investigating.

People online say you used a demon to steal the company. Is that true?

Daniel released footage he claims shows you embezzling company funds.

Back off.

I'll give you the apartment back, drop the lawsuit, and we call it even.

What about the company and all the assets you transferred out?

You have no claim to the company.

So if I sign this... Daniel takes on the $400,000 in debt? Of course not.

You keep the debt, and Daniel keeps the company.

Getting your apartment back is already more than you deserve.

You and Daniel agreed on this together?

Yes. So know your place.

Thank you.

You just gave my lawyer the last piece of evidence he needed.

You suck!

That's the third time you've tried to hit me.

There won't be a fourth.

Have you been following me?

I prefer to call it keeping you safe.

May I?

Your heart's beating faster than last night.

It's because I'm cold.

I can fix that.

Nora, Daniel's filing for bankruptcy.

He's trying to dump every last debt on you.

Daniel's planning to use the bankruptcy to transfer the patents and client

contracts to shell companies, leaving nothing behind but debt.

That's bankruptcy fraud, but first we need to prove Nora's signature on the

authorization is invalid.

You haven't slept in 20 hours.

Not until I find the original authorization form.

Still not going to sleep?

Just one minute.

Wake me if you find anything.

Miss Bennett, you have 48 hours to prove the signatures on those authorization

forms were forged. Otherwise, the $400,000 and any additional debt will

remain your responsibility. If you weren't Miss Vale's mistress, you

wouldn't even make it through the courthouse doors.

I'm a co-founder.

Deleting my name doesn't rewrite history.

Still thinking about what Daniel said?

Look at me.

Six years ago, you built that company without me. You can face him in court

without me now.

But all anyone sees is you standing behind me. Then let them look.

Is this your idea of encouragement?

If that's what you need?

I can encourage you all night.

Aaron's in danger.

I'll call the police. I'm coming with you.

Aaron!

The vehicle was last seen heading toward an abandoned freight warehouse in the

North District.

Patrol units are en route.

I'm coming with you.

Fine. But you can't kill anyone.

He kidnapped Aaron he's hurt you again and again.

I want him alive to stand trial I

Can only promise he'll still be breathing Keep

mrs. Val outside or I'll burn Aaron alive

Sign it give up all your shares and admit the debt is yours. Let me make

sure Aaron's still alive first You're not in a position to negotiate

Cleaning up my messes is what you're best at, isn't it?

Bitch!

You bastard!

Evidence is gone!

You'll never get your company back!

She got away with the hardwive!

You're hurt.

Why didn't you say anything?

Then don't leave my sight next time.

Nora kidnapped us and set the warehouse on fire to destroy the evidence.

Nora, and that demon did this to me!

The hospital received an anonymous tip. Your mother's surgery has been put on

hold again while we verify the source of the funds. That money's legitimate!

Nora, don't worry about me. Mom, I'm on my way.

Drop all charges and I'll give you the hard drive.

You kidnapped someone, committed perjury, and you're still covering for

Daniel?

Then you can kiss your company goodbye.

You touched her with this hand?

Enough.

Adriana, look at me.

They almost killed you.

Which is exactly why we can't let them turn you into a murderer.

Drop it! Hands up!

I'll testify!

I'll testify against Daniel! Please forgive me!

Testifying means answering for your own crimes. It doesn't buy you my

forgiveness.

It hurts.

Funny. You don't seem worried about pain when you crush that glass with your bare

hand.

Your hand's still bleeding.

It's nothing.

Mrs. Bennett, Daniel's headed for the airport with the stolen funds.

Log into the cloud and delete every backup.

Deleting them requires a board-level key. I don't have access!

Then figure it out!

Daniel, let him go.

Keep that demon away from me. The board key you want is in this case.

Let him go, and it's yours.

Send the case over!

Let him live long enough to watch me take everything back.

The cloud backups are still intact.

This key will give you access to all the original accounts and transfer records.

Nora, after everything we shared over those six years, please let me go. I can

start over.

That company will fall apart without me. You have no idea how to run it.

Keep dreaming.

Daniel obtained Nora's signatures on blank authorization form through

deception. The money was then routed through shell companies in Aaron's name.

The dates and accounts line up across all four sets of evidence. The

evidentiary chain is complete. This court hereby voids all fraudulent

guarantees made in Nora Bennett's name. The original $400,000 in debt, along

with all debt incurred during the bankruptcy, will be Daniel Miller's

personal responsibility.

All frozen assets are to be returned to the company immediately.

No! That company is mine!

Nora fabricated all of it! She and that demon are manipulating the court! Aaron

Parker is remanded into custody pending criminal proceedings on charges of

conspiracy to commit fraud, assault, and obstruction of justice. I testified!

You can't lock me up!

The board hereby re-estates Nora Bennett as co-founder and appoints her interim

CEO.

Miss Vail, would you dance with me?

Is this work too?

This time, it's not overtime.

You can hold me closer.

I can change the dressing myself.

You said that last time too.

A 300 year old demon gets nervous too?

Only around you.

Does that hurt?

It's not the wound.

I still don't know what happened between us back then.

But what I feel for you now is real.

Damn it.

All of this should have been mine.

All company assets have been returned.

Daniel's personal assets will be used to repay the debt, and every shell company

in Aaron's name has been dissolved.

As of today, Nora Bennett is officially the company's CEO.

Ready to admit you need some rest now?

Just this once.

Why do humans make cooking so complicated?

Because humans can't just cook a steak with black flames.

Mrs. Vale, you're taking advantage of the chef.

Compensation for ruining dinner.

The Nora from a century ago used to cook for you, too.

At least she never made you try so hard to live like a human.

Don't use who Nora was then to judge who she is now.

I'm only worried you've forgotten that she still doesn't remember any of it.

Enough. Leave.

Once my mother's surgery is over, let's make this real.

You mean this isn't real already?

Consider this a trial period.

Then I guess I need to try harder.

Without me, you never would have lived long enough to fall in love with her

again.

Why are you avoiding me?

It's just an old wound.

Are you really gonna keep lying to me?

Tell me if it hurts.

You're too close.

Keep taking care of me like this, and it'll be hard to think of this as just

treatment.

Then learn some self-control.

I've lived 300 years and never learned any.

Then start now.

Mom, Adrian and I are together.

I'll protect her for as long as I live.

Nora doesn't need anyone making her decisions for her.

I know.

That's why I'll stand beside her, not in front of her.

then don't be the one to let go of her hand.

Have you forgotten who's kept the holy poison under control for you all these

years? I haven't forgotten what you've done for me.

Then why does she get to take everything the moment she comes back?

Watch yourself, or leave the manor.

What is it?

Forget something?

May I?

Adriana.

Why'd you stop?

You're gonna be late.

Perk of being the CEO Miss Bennett

the board is waiting

I'll

pick you up tonight Clean the windows before you come back

Mrs. Vale, it's time for your medicine.

Did I step on your foot?

No.

Demons lie too.

So you won't step in the wrong place again.

Now Mrs. Vale can't boss me around anymore.

Then I'll have to find another way.

You don't have to ask me at every single step.

Adriana!

I hurt you.

You didn't mean to.

Open the door. We'll figure this out together.

The poison inside her is out of control. Your angelic Laura will only make it

worse. Why has this never happened before? The pact is awakening.

Stay by her side and you'll only get her killed.

The liquid contains ash from ancient black feathers. It can trigger the holy

poison and cause a demon to lose control.

Can you tell who added it? We've sent the veil for fingerprint analysis.

If there are usable particles, we could have results by tomorrow.

Until I know Adriana is safe, I'm leaving the manor.

That's the right choice.

So you didn't leave after all.

Nora.

I've been at your side for a hundred years.

I guarded this manor. I kept the holy poison under control.

How can I still not measure up to someone who doesn't even remember you? I

warned you to control yourself.

I gave you everything!

The moment you hurt her, you lost the right to stand beside me.

Easy? Look at me.

If I can't have you, then die!

Adriana!

Adriana, open your eyes! Don't you dare fall asleep!

Then die with her.

Light and dark born of one source by this pact one life one death

Don't let go Anna come find me

Anna stay awake

You got your memories back

Who's there?

What? Did you just call me?

I'm back.

You really came back?

Anna, it's me.

I've been searching for you for a hundred years.

I know.

You're still hurt.

I've waited long enough.

Then let's not waste any more time.

Don't stop.

Now you listen to me.

You're distracted.

Shut up.

Anna.

Say it again.

Anna, I'm back.

Don't ever leave me again.

Never. You sent that letter?

You want Adriana.

I want Nora.

All we need now is a little patience.

One portrait is enough.

You don't like the portraits?

I just don't want you spending forever in love with a memory.

And starting today, I'll win you over all over again.

And how exactly are you planning to win me over?

I'll start with a kiss.

What's wrong?

A first date can't be just one kiss.

I'll pick the wine. You handle dinner.

Are you avoiding me?

I'm giving you a chance to impress me.

She can't find out?

So this is your plan to win me over?

Part of it.

Guess the vintage, and you pass the test.

The wine's on the other side.

This is the only scent I recognize.

What's wrong?

That wine's stronger than I thought. I need some water.

Your blood work, cardiac tests, and neurological tests all look normal.

But my body's turning transparent, and my wounds keep opening back up.

It could be a stress-induced perceptual disturbance.

Cut back on work and get more sleep.

Until I know what's happening, Adriana can't find out.

That's the third time you've pulled away from me today.

I'm just tired.

Now that your memories are back, do you remember what demons did to you?

So, do you regret being with me?

That's not what this is about.

Then what are you hiding from me?

Miss Bennett, we detected an unauthorized login on the... The board

needs you here immediately.

We'll talk when I get back.

The Ward Foundation can assist with Mrs. Bennett's pre-op evaluation, but her

records must remain strictly confidential.

Of course.

Finally, her human body is starting to reject her angelic soul.

If she's already getting weaker, why not just kill her?

If Nora dies too soon, Adriana won't hand over everything I need.

Everything checks out. The surgery can proceed as scheduled.

No one's stopping the surgery this time.

You've been through so much, Nora. You don't have to carry everything alone.

Let the people who love you take care of you sometimes, too. Tonight, I'll tell

her everything.

To a successful pre-op evaluation.

There's something I haven't told you.

Before you tell me, there's something I need to give back to you.

This is...

You left it with me before you disappeared a hundred years ago.

Are you proposing to me?

No.

I'm just giving back what's always been yours.

When you're ready, I'll ask you properly.

Nora!

Maybe it's because I drank on an empty stomach.

What were you about to tell me?

Nothing. I'm clearing my schedule tomorrow. You're getting a full

examination, and I'm staying with you.

No.

This isn't a request.

Her scans,

blood work, and neurological tests are all normal. I can't find any medical

reason for the fainting. Then why is she coughing up glowing dust?

This is beyond the limits of human medicine.

What else haven't you told me?

I've had nosebleeds, heart palpitations, and I've blacked out a few times.

How many times?

It started when my memories came back.

Why do you keep hiding things from me? I thought it was nothing serious.

You fainted. You bled. You coughed up glowing dust.

How is any of that nothing serious?

Please. I can't lose you again.

I'm sorry.

I won't hide anything from you again.

Where are you going? To the office.

200 employees are depending on today's signing. I have to be there.

You just fainted.

I'll come straight back after I sign.

Then I'll get every test and treatment you want.

If I feel anything wrong through the pact, I'm bringing you straight back.

Okay?

Come back to me safe.

The agreement takes effect the moment Mrs. Bennett signs.

Then it's official.

We're partners as of today.

Miss Bennett!

Nora.

Her cardiac tests, brain scans, and blood work are all normal. She hasn't

woken up.

Her breathing's getting weaker. You call that normal?

If she dies here, I'll bring this whole hospital down with her. We've never

treated a non-human soul before.

Our equipment can only assess her human body.

I'm sorry.

Find every expert in supernatural medicine, soul trauma, and energy

rejection anywhere in the world.

Money is no object.

I'll start immediately.

You promised you wouldn't hide anything from me again.

Mrs. Vale, I may be able to save her.

Who let you in?

Hear me out.

Her soul is angelic. Her body is human and only 24 years old.

Explain.

Her angelic memories and divine power awakened at the same time her human body

can't contain them If nothing

changes she'll burn from the inside out and dissolve into glowing dust within

three days Tell

me how to save her Kill me and she won't even have three days

Her heart rate's under 40.

How much more time do you want to waste?

Save her, or you'll regret ever walking through that door.

What are you going to do to her?

The only thing that can keep her alive for now.

Nora! When her memories returned, her dormant angelic soul fully awakened.

Why is her body rejecting her own soul?

Because this is still a 24-year-old human body, it can't contain the full

power of an angel.

Her lost halo is the only thing that can rebuild her body.

Where is it?

Only Nora's angelic self knew where it was hidden.

Then wake her.

Force her awake and her soul will tear free of this body even faster.

She could dissolve into glowing dust before she ever finds the halo.

Each dose buys her 12 hours.

Don't be late with the next one.

Why should I believe you you'd rather watch her die be my guest

Did

she believe you She doesn't need to believe a word I say she just needs

to love Nora

That's not a very scary face for a demon.

You almost died.

I'm not going anywhere, Anna.

Cassian says the only way to rebuild your body is to recover your lost halo.

The halo.

It's somewhere.

The medication can't keep her angelic soul contained anymore.

What do we do now?

We need blood from the demon who formed the pact with her.

Not so fast.

Drawing that blood is more dangerous than you think.

Once served heaven Now I'm just an exile Is that so?

What got you cast out?

That's not relevant to tonight's treatment Then we'll discuss it

somewhere else Every bit of killing in time you directed me feeds back through

the unstable pact and Nora takes the hit first Don't believe me keep going

Adriana

I'm here.

I have a temporary solution.

Mix one drop of your heart's blood into the serum. It'll stabilize her for three

days. And then?

A demon's heart blood is tied directly to its core. Every extraction weakens

you. Keep doing this, and you could lose your powers for good.

Don't!

Inject her.

She's stable now.

She lost her wings for you a hundred years ago.

Now it's your turn to repay the debt. How do you know that?

If you want the Halo, be prepared to pay the price.

What happened to your wings?

I just burned through a little magic.

You've been using your own blood to keep me alive?

Your pulse was fading.

I didn't have a choice.

You did have a choice!

You could have told me first and risked watching you disappear again?

How do you expect me to just stand there and watch you die?

We'll find the helo together.

And from now on, no deals, no sacrifices unless we both know and agree.

Okay. I promise.

I think I hid something inside this feather.

It hasn't reacted to any kind of power in a hundred years.

This time, don't lose it.

The Halo was never lost.

Now I just need them to hand it to me themselves.

Adriana... Stay with me.

I'll be right back.

Your real identity.

While you're helping Nora, how you know what happened a hundred years ago. Start

talking. I was a heavenly inquisitor before my name was struck from the

rails. That's all you're getting. Nora only has a few stable hours left. The

next dose needs more magic and a second drop of your heart's blood.

You're deliberately draining my demonic core.

And Nora still needs it. Kill me, and all you'll get is one answer and a

corpse.

Take me back to her, and she gets three more days.

If anything happens to her, you won't leave the manor alive.

Help me up.

I get a say in this.

You cost me part of my demonic core.

That's exactly why you don't get to decide alone.

Second drop of heart blood.

You're closer to the truth than you realize.

Mark the route to the halo the trail to the halo begins where Nora's memories

were sealed away Three heavenly ruins from a century ago any

one of them can still hold fragments of her memories Or they're just traps meant

to buy you time stay here and guess or go find out for yourself We start with

the nearest monastery your body hasn't recovered yet. We don't have time to

wait Is this

really part of the examination

Of course.

Are you done examining me?

I still have your other leg to check.

Strip her of her halo.

Cassian, why?

Cassian was the one who severed my connection to my halo. Some memories are

better left buried forever.

He was never trying to help us. He's stalling so he can erase the evidence.

I'm going back to kill Cassian.

If he dies, we lose our last lead to the halo.

But he's using us. Exactly.

Which means he can't know we figured him out.

We keep following the ruins he marked.

Let him think we're still playing along.

Meanwhile, have someone analyze the serum. And if the serum's compromised?

Then I'll hold on until we find another way.

You're not gambling with your life again.

I know a demon physician who won't report us to heaven.

The golden compound can temporarily bind the holy light inside her, but it can't

repair a human body.

So Cassian's been lying to us this whole time?

There's more.

Every dose siphons magic from Mrs. Val's heart blood and sends it somewhere else.

Can you trace where it's going?

There's a barrier.

If I force the trace, he'll know immediately.

Cassian isn't saving Nora.

He's using me to siphon power from you.

Then you have ten hours, at most, to find another way.

No signs of a break-in. He could have left whenever he wanted.

He drained the barrier dry.

So this is where all the magic you syphed through the serum went.

The serum did delay Nora's death.

More importantly, it proved something.

What?

You'll pay any price to keep her alive.

Where is the halo?

I know exactly where it is.

But it's behind heaven's highest seal.

What does it take to break the seal?

A demonic core powerful enough to break it.

Name your price.

Not yet.

Go home.

See how long Nora lasts without my serum.

Why didn't you wake me?

You need rest too.

You don't have to hide the pain from me.

Hold me tighter.

This time, no matter what it cost me, I'm keeping you here.

Why bring me here all of a sudden?

A normal date.

Doctor's orders.

You need rest.

Since when do you listen to doctors?

Only when they say something that's good for you.

Take me with you is this one of those things human couples do if you think

it's childish let go

You're

soaking wet demons don't catch colds

What

if we never find the halo

Then I'll share my lifespan with you. I won't stay alive by shortening your

life. That's what a life and death pact is for. We share everything.

Then we make that decision together.

Cassian, I accept.

When you're ready, come see me alone.

Where do we go next?

We keep investigating the heavenly ruins Cassian marked.

Together?

You only have one day of stability left. I'm taking you back to the manor to

rest. And you?

I have some Veil Group business to handle.

Then come home early.

All your magic, control of Veil Group, every asset you own on Earth.

What does an exiled Inquisitor need with a business empire?

On Earth, money opens doors even Heaven can't. Or buys you an army that never

questions orders.

Sign, Nora lives.

Show me proof the Halo still exists first.

You're in no position to negotiate.

No proof, no magic.

Not one drop.

Where did it land sign the contract and we'll know I Want proof that the memory

is real Nora has less than a day left

Those

aren't demon wings their angel wings burned black by divine punishment

Someone went to a lot of trouble to hide what happened after the trial. The asset

trust documents and transfer of control papers are ready.

Until this deal is done, Nora can't find out. And if she does... I'll take full

responsibility.

What's this?

Just bait to force Castlin to give us the next lead.

Just the assets?

Does this deal include your magic too? You promised me. No deals, no sacrifices

unless we both knew and agreed.

I haven't agreed to anything yet.

You're preparing for your own death.

what i'm supposed to do your breathing is getting weaker every day what am i

supposed to do just watch so your answer is to hand your life over to a liar if

that's what keeps you alive and you'll die too i've already lost you once

hate

me if you have to just stay alive

Listen to me. If you make this deal behind my back, I'll break the pact

myself.

I won't let you make decisions for both of us and call it love. Not again.

Keep splitting your demonic core, and it'll collapse completely.

Mrs. Bennet will never accept this.

Please stop, Master!

That's an order. You're giving up everything you built over 300 years for

one angel?

I built all of it while I was waiting for her.

Without her none of it means anything

Anna

will find me

Vanilla Adriana would rather drain her

demonic core and hand over her entire empire, then even look at me.

If I just get rid of you!

She'll never love you.

Laura.

The halo brought me back.

Where's Adriana?

Mrs. Vale is in the underground core chamber.

She's already started the transfer, hasn't she?

Lydia, answer me!

The first magic transfer is about to begin.

Help me stop her.

I can't defy my master's orders. So you're just going to stand there and

watch her die?

I'll cut power to the array. You call Marcus.

Continue.

Cassian has no intention of honoring the deal.

Who gave you permission to interfere?

Mrs. Vale, if you lose your demonic core, you won't even have the power to

protect Miss Bennet.

If losing my core keeps her alive, then so be it!

You promised me.

Nora, you're hurt.

Don't touch me.

This wasn't just the second time, was it?

How long have you been keeping me alive with your blood and magic? As long as it

keeps you alive.

You promised you wouldn't lie to me again.

I was scared.

So even you get scared?

I'm terrified I'll wake up one day and have nothing in my arms but a feather

again.

The transfer hasn't taken effect yet. You still chose to make the deal. Only

because I got here in time.

Nora, if you're so determined to decide everything alone, then be alone.

The final key.

Saint Nora harbored a demon and betrayed Heaven. Arrest her!

She hasn't hurt anyone!

Defend a demon, and you become her accomplice.

Nora violated Heaven's law.

Strip her of the title of Saint and exile her to Earth. She also formed a

life-and-death pact with a demon.

Sever every tie she has to Heaven. That charge hasn't been proven.

i witnessed it myself

impossible

you fabricated charges against the saint and tried to steal her halo for yourself

a halo that pure should have belonged to a stronger angel cast him

down to earth until nora is found heaven is closed to him once i possess

both angelic and demonic power Everything will be mine.

The halo feuded with the feather a hundred years ago.

Then why can't you extract it now?

Seal only opens when Nora is on the brink of death.

Adriana called off the deal. She won't give you any more of her power.

She'll come.

Why have you been guarding my door?

I'm afraid you'll hate me for good.

Come in.

Still angry?

Yes.

Do you still want to break the pact?

Does that hurt?

Just a little.

First, we get the halo back.

Then we can finish what we started.

Best order I've ever been given.

I'll pretend to accept the deal.

My assets and magic will bait Cassian into activating the array.

Once the transfer starts draining your demonic core you may not survive long

enough for us to break the array That's why I'll hide inside her shadow through

the pact Cassian will only sense Adriana's era

The moment the halo appears I'll cut off the transfer from inside the array

Marcus and I will secure the perimeter with the demon guard.

We'll take out the heavenly arrays energy nodes

If this fails, get Nora out immediately.

No, that's not our backup plan.

We leave together.

When light and dark meet again, the pact will leave them both a way home.

Where do you need to carve it?

As close to your demonic core as possible Does

it hurt?

No No

more

making decisions for me Same goes for you.

This time, no one's coming to save her.

I told you to come alone.

There's no one else here.

Bailey group the manor your private holdings three centuries of Empire all

for one human woman You'd better be able to pay what she's worth Those assets

only buy you one look at the halo, what does that mean if you want to know how

to break the halo seal?

I need all your magic to Show me proof first draw out your

demonic core and the halo will reveal itself

The array's connected to me.

He's not after the halo. He's waiting for me to reveal myself.

Don't believe him!

Nara?

Why won't you just die?

Then you showed up and took everything from me! You can't steal love that was

never yours!

Then die!

Vanessa,

stop!

It's over, Vanessa.

Cassian made you his pawn a long time ago. Shut up!

I only wanted you to see me.

Thank you for getting rid of my last useless pawn.

Wrong move.

Get back in the array or watch her dissolve into glowing dust right now.

So even the demon who bowed to no one will kneel for love.

Do whatever you want to me.

Just let Nora go.

Demonic power really does surpass heaven's gifts.

Now I'll personally correct the mistake I made a hundred years ago.

No!

Nora, look at me.

Anna, don't.

None of this is your fault.

How dare you defy me!

Nora!

Protect Miss Bennet!

Go ahead.

Let's see who your blade hits first.

Then die together!

One losing her magic, the other losing her body. What a fitting end.

I found

it. I

waited a hundred years just to hold you again.

I can't lose you again.

You think dying for her will save her?

Uhtred. Now both powers

are mine.

Impossible!

Anna, don't forget me.

Is your halo.

Anna, the halo was inside the feather you kept safe for me all along.

That halo is mine.

A hundred years!

Why is it still yours?! It's

time we settled this, Cassie.

Even with your halo back, you can't save a demon whose core has been drained dry!

Stolen power was never yours.

You've destroyed everything I had!

I'm an inquisitor of heaven! You have no right to judge me!

Once the truth about your rigged trial comes to light, the real judgment will

come from heaven.

Cassian Ward for persecuting a saint out of envy, manipulating demons and

wreaking havoc in the mortal realm. I strip you of your angel wings forever.

That halo is mine!

A hundred years, and you still haven't learned.

Don't touch what isn't yours.

I'm an Inquiser of Heaven!

You're nothing but an exiled sinner.

I'm just glad you're still here with me.

From now on...

I always will be.

The surgery was a complete success.

So when's the wedding?

Long ago, in the middle of a storm, an angel saved a demon.

The angel thought it was only one act of kindness.

The demon spent a hundred years proving that love could outlast time itself.

I won't promise to make life or death decisions for you.

I promise only this.

Whatever comes, we'll choose together, side by side.

I love you.

It's our first morning as newlyweds.

This isn't a story about an angel saving a demon.

It's about two people finding their way back to each other and choosing each

other all over again.
