00:00Hi, I'm Cece, and this is my story.
00:02Before I begin, don't forget to like and subscribe.
00:05And hey, new MSA merch alert.
00:06Our latest bottles and notebooks are out now.
00:08Grab them via the link in the description
00:10and upgrade your gear.
00:11I was born in Paris, the city of love.
00:15Love was everywhere.
00:16In the heart-shaped cakes in the bakeries, in the balloons
00:19all the street merchants sold under the Eiffel Tower,
00:21and in the random rounds of applause
00:23whenever someone proposed publicly, which happens
00:25like 100 times a day.
00:27Yeah, love was everywhere.
00:29Except our house.
00:30My earliest memories are of my parents
00:32fighting over the tiniest things, and of Lola, my sister
00:35who was seven years older, distracting me.
00:38I got you new furniture for your dollhouse.
00:40Let's rearrange it in my room.
00:42Why are mom and dad yelling?
00:43Are they going to be OK?
00:45Of course they'll be OK.
00:47Parents fight.
00:47This is normal.
00:48Don't worry.
00:49It didn't feel normal.
00:51It felt like my whole world was going to crumble down.
00:54And the only stable thing around me was Lola.
00:57When our parents eventually divorced,
00:59mom moved to Italy to become an opera singer,
01:01and dad soon realized his mistake and spiraled.
01:04He locked himself up in their room, and we rarely saw him.
01:07From that moment onwards, Lola became my unofficial parent.
01:11You cannot eat ice cream before dinner.
01:13You're not my real mom.
01:15Why did you fail math?
01:16I spent my whole week tutoring you.
01:18You're not my real mom.
01:20It's fair to say I drove Lola crazy.
01:22She was forced to become my mother at a very young age, and I could be a brat.
01:27Also, I kind of ruined her plans for the future and her relationship with her very serious boyfriend, Jordan.
01:33Jordan and Lola had planned to go away to college together.
01:36Seeing that Lola had to work and take care of me since our dad was useless,
01:40Jordan left her and went off to college on his own.
01:43I'm sorry, Lola.
01:44There isn't a place for both me and Cece in your life.
01:46This is it for us.
01:47I felt guilty that Lola had lost both her boyfriend and her dreams, so I no longer wanted to give her a hard time.
01:54I started paying attention in class, helping her around the house, and even preparing her favorite meals and desserts.
02:00Ugh, there is no love like sisterly love, Cece.
02:03Never forget that.
02:05We only have each other in this life.
02:06One day, as I was working at my part-time cashier job in a coffee shop, I noticed a very rich-looking guy staring at me.
02:13I could feel his gaze without even lifting my head.
02:16Naturally, I decided to stare back until he got uncomfortable and broke eye contact, but he was a tough opponent.
02:22Give it up, creep.
02:23Didn't your mommy teach you it's rude to stare at people?
02:26But he still didn't flinch.
02:28He insisted on being in the line I was serving, even though the other one was empty.
02:32One Americano, please.
02:33Will that be all?
02:35How about your number on the side?
02:36I just stood there with a poker face until he finally gave up and said,
02:40Yes, that will be all.
02:42One Americano coming up.
02:43Name?
02:44Ben.
02:44That'll be four euros, Ben.
02:46He gave me a hundred and told me to keep the change with a wink.
02:50Nice try, jerk.
02:51If you think you can buy my number, you're sadly mistaken.
02:54Take your stupid money.
02:55I'm just a generous tipper, girl.
02:57But I will get your number eventually.
02:59And by the way, your eyes are gorgeous.
03:01And then he left.
03:02I wish I had shoved that change in his stupid face.
03:05Oh well.
03:06I could just use it to buy Lola something nice.
03:08This rich jerk kept coming back every day.
03:11And I'd always notice he had bodyguards waiting outside the shop for him.
03:14One day he came in when the place was empty.
03:17I won't leave until you give me your number.
03:19Then I hope you brought a change of clothes and a toothbrush.
03:21You know, Cece, not to be a self-centered jerk, but I'm a great catch.
03:25If you're so great, why are you so desperate to get my number?
03:29Determined is a better term.
03:31I enjoy a hard challenge and I just can't get you out of my head.
03:34Then get a new head.
03:35I would, but I have great hair.
03:38You're not getting my number, weirdo.
03:40We'll see.
03:41For the next few weeks, he showed up with extravagant gifts.
03:44Like a full mariachi band or roses that filled up the stores and customers couldn't get in.
03:50My boss finally snapped and told me to handle the situation or I was out.
03:54Of course, I couldn't get fired.
03:56I had to help Lola with the household expenses.
03:59So, I caved and gave him my number.
04:01I'd just block him later.
04:02When I told my coworkers what happened, they all burst out laughing and started showing me
04:06his pictures on the internet.
04:08Turns out, he wasn't just a rich kid, but a famous actor as well.
04:12Apparently, he had bought the staff silence because he didn't want me to go out with him
04:16simply for being famous.
04:17To my surprise, he wasn't that big of a jerk either.
04:20He was crazy romantic.
04:22Like, crazy romantic.
04:24One day, I mentioned that I was craving pizza, so he insisted on going to Napoli for lunch.
04:30I thought he managed to get last minute tickets on a plane to Italy, but turns out we were going
04:35with his private jet.
04:36You know, Cece, when I first met you and realized that you didn't know who I was,
04:40I felt truly alive.
04:41I had a rare opportunity to introduce myself however I liked to someone who didn't already
04:46have some opinions about me.
04:47Well, for future reference, you didn't do a great job at it.
04:50He came off as a creep.
04:52Yeah, you made that very clear.
04:54Don't worry.
04:54He was sweet, charming, and attentive, and I found myself falling for him.
04:59I was hesitant to bring Ben home to see our poor house and meet my useless dad.
05:03Only when I made sure he actually loved me and accepted me no matter what, I invited him to dinner.
05:08But Lola wasn't too enthusiastic about him.
05:11You're spending too much time with him, Cece.
05:14Boys are trouble and a distraction.
05:16You should be focusing on your studies to get into a good college instead of dating flamboyant stars.
05:21I'm not a kid anymore.
05:22Don't worry about me.
05:23Also, I can do both.
05:25Ben and I went public, and he started taking me to all his premieres and movie sets.
05:30Sometimes, I would miss school and travel with him wherever he went.
05:33Lola was furious about this.
05:36I did not break my back to keep you in school and give up on my dreams,
05:40so you can live in some stupid fairy tale with a boyfriend.
05:43Fairy tales aren't real.
05:44I'm grateful for the things that you've done, but you can't keep holding that over my head.
05:49You also chose to do this, and I try to pitch in.
05:52You're welcome to stop caring for me now and go back to school.
05:55You're an ungrateful brat, Cece.
05:57You just met this boy.
05:59You're not his first love, nor the last.
06:01Don't get too used to this lifestyle, because it won't be long before he drops you.
06:05Then we'll see what you'll do, kiddo.
06:08You almost sound like you resent me for getting a taste of the good life.
06:11Just let me be, Lola.
06:13But she didn't let me be.
06:15One day, I came home after a trip to Hollywood and found Lola waiting for me in the dark.
06:20Have a seat.
06:21OMG, you freak.
06:22You scared me.
06:24I think you should see this.
06:25What's this?
06:26Your Prince Charming isn't so innocent.
06:28I hired a private detective to follow him around.
06:31See for yourself.
06:32I couldn't believe Lola would go that far.
06:34Where did she even get the money to do this?
06:36In the folder she gave me.
06:38I found pictures of Ben and Saint Tropez playing volleyball with many models.
06:42And screenshots of him replying to other girls' stories on Instagram.
06:46That didn't really bother me.
06:48Till I saw a photo of him having dinner with one of his exes.
06:51And they were holding hands.
06:53I felt utterly disgusted and couldn't believe Lola was right.
06:57Ben had already left on another trip for two weeks.
07:00So I just blocked his number and blocked him on all the socials, too.
07:03And I promised Lola that I'd never speak to him again.
07:06But I did find myself missing him.
07:08So instead of caving and unblocking him, I decided to watch one of his movies.
07:13So one evening, there I was, engrossed in his latest spy film and a family-sized pizza
07:19topped with pepperoni and my salty tears.
07:21When I caught a glimpse of something outside my window, it was Ben swinging from a rope off the roof
07:26like a low-budget action hero.
07:28I quickly opened the window before he fell down and smashed his most valuable asset,
07:33his money-making face.
07:34What are you doing?
07:35Well, it was impossible to reach you by any normal means.
07:38And Lola wouldn't let me in.
07:39So I thought I could swing outside your window until you tell me what's wrong.
07:43Do you think I'm stupid?
07:44Do you think I wouldn't know about your affairs?
07:46What the?
07:47You heard me.
07:48I know all about Saint Tropez and your DMs with other girls.
07:51And the dinner with your ex.
07:52I showed him the pictures and to my surprise, he burst out laughing and tussled my hair.
07:57You dummy, you.
07:59Well first, these so-called models are my cousins.
08:01Gross.
08:02I can't help it if we're all a good-looking bunch.
08:04Secondly, these DMs are made by a very famous fake account.
08:07Everyone on earth knows this person is acting like me.
08:10How did you even miss this?
08:11Okay, fine.
08:12But what about the dinner?
08:13How are you going to justify that?
08:14Well, now that's embarrassing.
08:16I got an anonymous call telling me that this big-time director wanted to meet me to
08:20discuss his upcoming superhero franchise, for which he wanted to cast me.
08:24I smelled something fishy because the call didn't come through my manager,
08:27but I was too afraid to miss the opportunity, so I went.
08:30There I found my ex, who had received the exact same call.
08:34It was obviously some kind of stupid setup, but there wasn't even any
08:37paparazzi around that we could see.
08:39And here I'm holding her hand because she's telling me her cat died.
08:43I didn't bring this meeting up because it wasn't anything important.
08:46Do you honestly think I believe that?
08:48Yes, do you know why? I voice recorded all my calls and meetings, so here you go.
08:52Oh man, he humbled me quickly and left me speechless. I hated being proved wrong.
08:58But where did you get these pictures? Did you hire someone to stalk me?
09:01Don't flatter yourself. They were thrown my way. Don't think for a minute that I'm obsessed with you.
09:06Cece baby, it's too late. I've seen you eat that pizza with snot and tears crying over me.
09:11I hit him with the cushion as he laughed, then he hugged me.
09:14The next morning, I told Lola everything, but she wasn't relieved or happy.
09:19And you believe him? You're so naive, Cece.
09:22Well, I know him more than you or your private detective.
09:25He's an honest guy who loves and spoils me. Can't you just be happy for me?
09:29You're my sister. Is that too much to expect?
09:32Lola looked at me and then sighed. You're right. I suppose I can give him a chance. I was only
09:37trying to protect you. He seems too good to be true. I know, but maybe I lucked out and he doesn't
09:43have any skeletons in his closet? Yeah, maybe. But just as I thought everything was on track,
09:49it all exploded in my face. One morning, as I was watching the news, I saw a picture of Ben's father
09:55shaking hands with some thug. In the latest Hollywood drama, the famous businessman,
09:59also known as Ben's father, is allegedly smuggling illegal goods and accepting bribes.
10:03Does this mark the fall of his empire and possibly Ben's reputation and career too?
10:08As I watched in horror, I suddenly noticed Lola standing behind the couch, a huge evil smirk
10:14on her face, and the realization washed over me. Lola was somehow behind this. Lola?
10:21My screen shook the house, and I turned around to pounce on her. Even Dad, who hadn't come out of
10:26his room in ages, came out running as we rolled around on the floor. How dare you humiliate Ben and
10:31his family like that? What did you do? Just use some AI-generated images. Ow! Calm down, will you?
10:39I'm doing what's best for you. This is what's best for me? Ruining my relationship and someone's life?
10:46How could you do that? Ben was nothing but nice to you. I've been nothing but nice to you. What is
10:52your problem? And then Lola's face twisted with rage. My problem is you thinking you deserve to go
10:59off and live your fairytale life with your stupid perfect boyfriend when I gave up everything for
11:04you. So what? I should just live here and take care of our useless Dad after giving up on my boyfriend
11:10and my dreams. And it was all for you. Finally, the truth comes out. You jealous, horrible dinosaur.
11:17I slapped her hard. You selfish, ungrateful pig. Our epic slap showdown kept going until our palms
11:24were sore and Dad finally intervened. I stormed off and shut myself up in my room. How could I tell Ben
11:31my sister ruined his family's reputation? I tried calling him to see how he was taking it, but I
11:36couldn't reach him or anyone from his family or managers. He just disappeared from the face of
11:41the earth. I joined my Dad in despair and didn't leave my room when Lola was in the house. And I
11:47certainly didn't leave the house. One night, as I was watching one of Ben's films, I heard loud knocks
11:52on the door and police sirens outside. Dad and I got out of our rooms quickly, only to find the police
11:57taking Lola away. You're being detained on suspicion of defamation through made-up evidence. You have the
12:02right to remain silent. Lola, I swear, I had nothing to do with this. I know, Cece. I did.
12:08Lola turned herself in? But why? I rushed to prison after her and waited until I managed to see her.
12:15Why did you do that? I couldn't bear seeing you so miserable. I already lost Mom and Dad,
12:20and I can't stand the thought of losing you too. I was afraid you'd go off with your prince one day,
12:25and I'd be alone and miserable. And I got really jealous and selfish. That made you happy,
12:31and you deserved that. Now that it's public, his father was framed, I'm sure he'll turn up again.
12:36I was speechless. I believed Lola regretted what she'd done, but she had to pay the price for it now.
12:41And Ben would get to hear that it was Cece behind everything, and would make sure he stayed away
12:45from me forever. But one day, as I was leaving the police station after visiting Lola, I bumped into,
12:51Ben, I... I thought I'd never see you again. My family and I were advised to stay low and not to talk
12:56to anyone until the matter was cleared up. Now I'm here to pay Lola's bail, and we're dropping all
13:01charges against her. What? Why would you do that? Because she turned herself in, so she obviously
13:05regrets it. And because I love you, and she's your sister. And because I'm confident that I can win
13:10her over too. I wore you down, didn't I? You sure did. And I love you too.
13:26I love you too.
13:28I love you too.
13:29I love you, too.
13:31You know, the слова that I'm so excited about, I love you too.
13:36I love you, too.
13:38And I love you too.
13:41I love you too.
13:49So now I will put my hand in a hole, and I will feel that I love you too.
