Short filmTranscript
00:00My baby giggles inside my belly. Yeah, torture dad just like that. He had it coming for how he
00:04treated you. True to his word, Ian finally starts his slow, relentless pursuit. From that moment on,
00:09everyone in Drago realized that the so-called ascetic rich air isn't cold at all. In front of
00:13his fiancée, he's basically a loyal puppy. When are you actually going to marry me? Ian asks
00:19helplessly. After his 99th failed proposal, in front of me, his patience stretches wide as the
00:24ocean. I think for a moment as I caress my growing belly. I haven't heard my baby's thoughts in a
00:29while. I know. He's coming soon. For the baby's sake and the paperwork later, I glance at Ian.
00:34Say what you just said again. Ian freezes, then pulls me into a kiss. I said,
00:40Will you marry me? Grow old with me and be buried side by side? I finally nod. I do.
00:47Steven beams with joy and immediately takes out a gift box. Inside is an emerald bracelet,
00:51an heirloom of the Brit family. Wear this, carrying my grandchild. That must have brought you so many
00:55hardships. I want to refuse, but Ian forces it onto my wrist. Since you're my wife, just keep it.
01:02I can't exactly refuse, in front of everyone, so I accept it reluctantly. I feel no affection for Ian.
01:08I only see him as my lifesaver. Things have settled down. When Ian is done with everything,
01:12I've finished packing and am ready to leave Brit Manor. Confused, Ian frowns and blocks my path.
01:17What are you doing? You just accepted my proposal. And now you want to abandon me? I shake my head.
01:23Mr. Brit. As you know, this was just a deal from the start. That one night was an accident.
01:31You don't love me. And I don't love you. Let's end it here.
01:36Ian looks surprised and grips my waist. Who says I don't love you? This time,
01:40I'm confused. How could there be love for a one-night stand? But we already have a baby.
01:45That's not the product of love. Noticing I won't be swayed, Ian realizes my stubborn nature.
01:49I don't care for jewelry. Or purses. That small bit of sincerity I had is gone as well.
01:55Exposed, Aiden tries to run, but Theo claps his hands, and a few burly bodyguards immediately grab him.
02:00How dare you betray me? You're asking for trouble. Theo's temper is notorious. His elite guards easily
02:05subdue. Aiden and Camilla. Camilla, beaten and coughing blood, glares at me with pure hatred.
02:10Elaine, you think Ian will marry you? Just because. You're carrying his baby?
02:15He loves Wendy. You're nothing. I shrug, keeping a nonchalant expression. So what?
02:22I never said I have to marry him. We're all adults here. Love. Doesn't really matter. I was
02:28betrayed after eight years together. Love isn't essential to me anymore. My baby is what matters.
02:34Way to go, mom. That's the spirit. But why is dad getting so mad?
02:40Perhaps my nonchalant attitude. Fricked Ian's pride. He suddenly comes up to me and hugs me.
02:44Sorry. To disappoint.
02:47Who says I won't marry her? Wendy stares at Ian in disbelief.
02:51Ian. How could you do this to me?
02:54Ian replies calmly. We broke up a long time ago.
02:58Why did you still go abroad to find me then? Ian frowns.
03:02Did you misunderstand something? I just happened.
03:06To be there on business. He leans closer and whispers in my ear.
03:09I underestimated you. I really thought you were nothing but a useless pushover.
03:13Yay. Mom and dad are finally together. I can come into the world.
03:18My baby is so excited. Only Steven stands firmly behind me.
03:22We don't know the result yet. Nobody here can jump to conclusions about Ms. Buckley.
03:25I crouch to pick up the DNA test report and glance at the smug Camila and Wendy.
03:29As I open the report, I smile. You're all in too much of a hurry to actually read it, aren't
03:33you?
03:34This DNA test isn't for my baby with Ian.
03:38Camila, it's for your baby with your husband, Theo Baxter.
03:41It says your baby has no blood relation with Theo.
03:44Camila's face drains of color. Her eyes widen in disbelief.
03:47How, how is that possible?
03:48She snatches the report.
03:50When she sees her name paired with Theo's, her face goes ghostly pale.
03:53She doesn't even have a chance to explain before a hard slap sends her sprawling to the floor.
03:57Theo's expression darkens as he yanks her by the hair and asks her sharply,
04:00Who's the guy? Tell me.
04:02Camila grits her teeth, refusing to answer.
04:04But when Theo's fist lands on her, she finally breaks under the pain.
04:08Stop it. I'll tell you. I'll tell you.
04:10It's A, Aiden.
04:12The room falls into stunned silence.
04:13It turns out Camila has been involved with Aiden all along and everything I said at the wedding was the
04:17truth.
04:18Aiden steps out from behind Camila, a smirk plastered across his face.
04:21Elaine, you went to all this trouble to climb the social ladder and used my wedding
04:25to stage a fake DNA test just to hitch a ride with the Brit family.
04:30But karma's fast.
04:32Your tricks got exposed immediately.
04:34As long as we run a real test, the truth will come out.
04:38You're nothing but a complete fraud, cheating on me all these years.
04:42You canceled our wedding in front of everyone and even ran a DNA test with another man.
04:47You're really shameless.
04:49The cameras keep flashing.
04:50The reporters broadcast me.
04:52As a woman without limits, mom's eyes brim with disappointment.
04:55She shakes her head over and over.
04:56She's not our daughter.
04:58We've cut ties with her.
05:00Camila throws the report at my face, grinning like she's won.
05:04See for yourself.
05:05You can't fool us.
05:07I quietly glance at Ian.
05:08He lifts an eyebrow and makes a slicing motion across his neck, threatening me.
05:12The Brit family relatives who had been warned me immediately switch sides, rallying behind Wendy.
05:18Damn it.
05:19A fake dares.
05:20Show up in the Brit family, thinking she belongs here?
05:23We wasted time giving her the benefit of the doubt.
05:25Wendy speaks with a gentle tone, yet every sentence carries a sting.
05:28It's completely at odds with her soft demeanor.
05:30After all the foreshadowing, she smiles and asks,
05:33Is the baby in your belly?
05:34Really, Ian's?
05:35So Wendy doesn't believe me.
05:37She's been setting this up all along.
05:38The last DNA test was rushed, and doubts about my baby never fully vanished.
05:42Plenty of people whispered that the report might have been fake.
05:45The baby in my belly seethes.
05:46This scheming woman.
05:47She abandoned dad back then.
05:49Now that he's successful, she wants to reap the rewards.
05:52Let her try testing again.
05:54I'm dad's son and yours.
05:56That's a fact.
05:57I'd like to see what tricks she can pull now.
05:59Just then, Camila steps through the crowd, holding a report.
06:02She points at me, smug as ever.
06:04Elaine?
06:05You're finished.
06:06I've got the DNA test report.
06:08The baby in your belly has no blood relation to Mr. Brit whatsoever.
06:11I haven't even reacted yet.
06:12When my baby erupts in a furious roar, that's impossible.
06:14I know for sure who my dad is.
06:16I heard she was the Buckley family's eldest daughter, who played both sides.
06:20She got pregnant with Mr. Brit's baby, at Mr. Miller's wedding.
06:23She called off her wedding on the spot, and even had a DNA test done with Mr. Brit.
06:27What a move.
06:28Gosh.
06:28She used such dirty tricks, and actually got into the Brit family.
06:32And now she shows up at Miss Lane's welcoming party?
06:35The nerve.
06:37Everyone knows, Miss Lane is Mr. Brit's only love.
06:41If she's carrying his child, she's clearly the other woman.
06:45Holding a glass of water, I listen to the gossip without flinching.
06:48Miss Buckley.
06:49Wendy calls out to me at the center of the hall.
06:51She grabs my hand and leads me forward.
06:54Ian stands there with a calm expression, his gaze on me faintly displeased.
06:57Hello, everyone.
06:58I haven't been back for a long time, and just after arriving, I heard about Miss Buckley.
07:03My health isn't great.
07:04And she got pregnant with Ian's child.
07:06It's actually good news.
07:08Many women have tried to get close to Ian over the years, but he's always kept himself pure for me.
07:14Only Miss Buckley managed to rise through the ranks thanks to the baby.
07:17But Miss Buckley, before I went abroad, I'd heard that you had been pursuing Aiden passionately.
07:21I can't help but wonder why you suddenly shift your sights to Ian.
07:24Wendy carries herself like she's the lady of the house.
07:26Her every word puts me in the role of the other woman, but Stephen shoots her a sharp look.
07:30No outsider can decide who becomes my daughter-in-law.
07:33Go back and prepare for tonight's welcoming party.
07:35You ran off overseas, stubbornly, leaving Ian behind.
07:39And now you're suddenly back, huh?
07:40Wendy's face turns pale.
07:41Ian pats her shoulder to comfort her.
07:43Slowly, her expression softens.
07:45When Camila passes by me, she sneers.
07:47Elaine, tonight at the party, I'll make sure you're wiped out of Drago.
07:50I calmly reply.
07:51Okay, let's see who gets wiped out first.
07:54You or me.
07:55Camila didn't expect me to talk back.
07:57She glares at me, before leaving with Wendy triumphantly.
08:00Mom, be careful.
08:01Camila will team up with Wendy tonight.
08:02They'll try to redo the DNA test and slander you.
08:05Tell dad to come up with a plan.
08:08Smiling, I pat my belly and reassure the baby, don't worry.
08:11Even without your dad, I can handle this.
08:15Because of my unique status, only Stephen treats me well.
08:19Like a true daughter-in-law, keeping me by his side.
08:21Guests come and go.
08:23Their eyes, all fixed on me with strange curiosity.
08:26I fall silent for a moment.
08:27I remember my baby saying Wendy is returning today.
08:29Wendy and Camila are good friends.
08:31She won't miss a chance to come after me.
08:33When I see a line of luxury cars outside, I turn to Ian and say,
08:37Well, the opportunity just showed up.
08:39The gates of Britt Manor open.
08:41A graceful woman stands outside, her eyes soft but sharp.
08:44Ian steps forward.
08:46And I know at once that she's Wendy.
08:48The woman he's loved for years must be exceptional.
08:51Wendy is really gentle and refined.
08:52She hooks her arm through Ian's affectionately.
08:54Ian, it's been so long.
08:56She doesn't even glance at me.
08:57Instead, Camila, trailing behind her, shoots me a provocative look.
09:00Well, well.
09:01Elaine, so this is where you ran off to?
09:04You used tricks to get pregnant with Mr. Britt's child.
09:06But why hasn't he announced that he's marrying you?
09:09Only then does Wendy seem to notice me.
09:10She looks at Ian with a fragile expression.
09:12Ian?
09:13This is...
09:14Ian answers plainly.
09:16She's the mother of my child.
09:17Wendy freezes for a second.
09:18A few tears fall, as if she's been hurt.
09:21Then, she walks over and takes my hand.
09:22Since you're pregnant, you should take good care of yourself.
09:26Even if Ian can't marry you, the Britt family is a big household.
09:30I won't drive you away.
09:32Ian is my only way out.
09:33This rich heir has forces from both sides of the law and the Britt family's power blankets,
09:38Drago.
09:38Ever since Ian became the successor, he has single-handedly secured control of the entire
09:42family.
09:43He basically leads Drago's elite circle, and everyone treats him with respect.
09:46But Ian is a hopeless romantic.
09:48Ever since his childhood sweetheart, Wendy went abroad to study.
09:50He has shut himself off emotionally and refuses to let any woman get close.
09:53However, Stephen is nearly 100 years old and desperate for Ian to settle down.
09:57So, he can hold a grandchild and enjoy family life.
09:59Ian, who keeps his distance from women, naturally wants nothing to do with anyone else.
10:02So he made a desperate decision to go abroad to win Wendy back.
10:05But before he could leave, he ran into me at the wedding.
10:07And suddenly, there's a baby in the picture.
10:09Under Stephen's pressure, Ian cancels his trip and stays at Britt Manor with me.
10:13But I feel the pressure mounting.
10:15He keeps a cold expression all day, pacing around like a supervisor watching a prisoner.
10:18Mom?
10:19Wendy is coming today.
10:21Brace yourself.
10:22I barely react to my baby's warning.
10:25After all, everyone knows how lethal a first love can be.
10:27I never expect Ian to fall for me anyway.
10:29But after seeing the trending list, I start to panic.
10:31Every hashtag is about my behavior.
10:33At the wedding, it looks absurd from any angle.
10:36The internet tears me apart.
10:37Reporters and gossip seekers camp outside Britt Manor every day, waiting for me to show my face.
10:42Even the Britt's daily movements are affected.
10:43Ian eats fruit beside me, casually.
10:46Watching the crowd outside.
10:47Clean up your own mess.
10:49The Britt family doesn't support freeloaders.
10:52Camila's quiet manipulations in her innocent act gradually won over mom and dad.
10:56Even Aiden, whom I'd secretly admired for years, started showing real interest in her.
11:00After just a few interactions, they praised her endlessly in front of me, saying how thoughtful,
11:04considerate, and perfect she was.
11:06Gradually, my reputation in social circles plummeted.
11:08Rumors spread that I was shamelessly clinging to Aiden.
11:10Every small thing I did was twisted.
11:12For instance, I knitted Aiden a scarf in winter, and people claimed I ignored my sick mother,
11:17just to do crafts for him.
11:18I gave him an auctioned watch, worth tens of thousands of dollars.
11:22But the gossip said,
11:24I spent millions on it.
11:26And the money, came from the Buckley family's account.
11:29These lies came from nowhere,
11:31turning my image from a refined young lady, into a shameless, obsessive simp.
11:35I kept a polite front toward Camila,
11:36and when Aiden suddenly proposed, I had even less energy,
11:39to notice her scheme.
11:41I never imagined, she was secretly conspiring with him.
11:43If I hadn't heard my baby's voice, at the wedding,
11:46I would have walked into the Miller family as a pawn, waiting to be torn apart.
11:49The Miller family is far more powerful than my family.
11:51Mom and dad, will never offend them because of me.
11:53This actor, continue acting.
11:55You have no idea, how dad has been,
11:57replaying that night in his head.
11:59He's a top tier, hopeless romantic.
12:01Mom, you don't even need to do anything.
12:03He'll convince himself to fall for you.
12:05I close my eyes, and take three seconds to process the baby's words,
12:08before replying to Aiden.
12:09I'm not trying to enter the Brit family,
12:11I just want to safely have the baby,
12:13and watch him grow up healthy.
12:15Ian doesn't respond, but my baby pipes up again.
12:18Dad's interest meter is rising.
12:20He's pleased with your answer.
12:21Falling in love with you is only a matter of time.
12:23If I'm trapped now,
12:25and surrounded on all sides,
12:26the only person who can save me, is Ian.
12:29Though I was born into the Buckley family,
12:31we're a minor clan.
12:32Our claim to fame is that,
12:33we're a scholarly, cultured family.
12:34From a young age,
12:35I was trained as a proper young lady,
12:37and admired in high society.
12:38Everything changed at 18,
12:40when Camila arrived.
12:41She's my distant relative's daughter.
12:42After her parents died unexpectedly,
12:44mom and dad took her in as an adopted daughter.
12:45At first, she seemed timid,
12:46and I naturally reached out to be friendly.
12:48I never imagined that under her docile exterior,
12:50lay a calculating mind.
12:51Ian carries me,
12:52his eyes scanning the guests who just mocked me,
12:54with a sharp and unyielding gaze.
12:55From now on,
12:57Miss Buckley is part of the Brit family.
12:59If I hear another word of gossip about her,
13:01don't blame me for being ruthless.
13:03With that,
13:04he strides out of the banquet hall.
13:05Through him,
13:06I see Camila's and Aiden's faces.
13:08Their eyes glare at me viciously,
13:09as if they won't let this slide.
13:11Ian seats me quietly in the car,
13:12then slides in beside me.
13:14The weight of his presence hits me.
13:15This is a man,
13:16who carved his territory.
13:17Through blood in Drago.
13:19And being the eldest son of the Brit family,
13:20he was untouchable in status and influence.
13:22By all rights,
13:23someone like me,
13:24shouldn't even be near him.
13:25Ian closes his eyes for a moment,
13:27then picks up his phone.
13:28Cancel my flight.
13:30And bring Wendy back.
13:31Mom,
13:32your biggest rival,
13:33Wendy Lane,
13:34is about to appear.
13:35She's dad's only first love.
13:37And she's far more scheming than Camila.
13:40But don't worry.
13:41Whether it's Camila or Wendy,
13:43dad and I will back you all the way.
13:45I press a hand to my belly and smile bitterly.
13:47Though my baby is hopeful,
13:48I feel none of it.
13:49I almost married another man.
13:51How could I ever catch the eye of the ascetic rich heir?
13:54I escaped Aiden to enter the Brit family.
13:56Who knows if I've just stepped into an even deeper trap.
13:58Ian studies me with narrowed eyes.
14:00His suspicion of me has never faded.
14:02Miss Buckley,
14:03even though you're carrying my baby,
14:06I won't marry you.
14:07He sneered.
14:08I don't care what tricks you use to get pregnant.
14:10Or how long you've been.
14:12Setting this whole act up.
14:14But entering the Brit family
14:15isn't going to be that easy.
14:17When Camila's words sink in,
14:18the guests finally realize
14:19that I'm carrying Ian's baby
14:21while marrying Aiden.
14:22It's way too outrageous.
14:23Immediately,
14:23the guests verbally attack me.
14:25Yeah,
14:25this woman first latched onto Mr. Miller,
14:27then secretly schemed to sleep with Mr. Britt.
14:29How could someone like her enter the Brit family?
14:31Unfaithful bitch.
14:32And she chose this day
14:33to announce the father of her baby.
14:35The Buckley family
14:36should have thrown her out already.
14:37She thinks she can leverage her baby for status?
14:39I think
14:39the Brit family
14:40will never forgive her.
14:42They won't let her stay in Drago anymore.
14:44She's immoral and shameless.
14:46Publicly announcing her affair?
14:47That's just disgusting.
14:48The jeers grow louder.
14:50Too embarrassed?
14:51Dad shouts.
14:52I have no daughter like you.
14:54Get out.
14:56Camila
14:56is the only true daughter of this family.
14:59Aiden stays silent.
15:00Watching me get scolded.
15:02Suddenly,
15:03a cane thunders against the floor.
15:05Stephen's commanding voice rings out.
15:06Enough.
15:07Who do you think you are?
15:08Helping a prestigious family bully a woman?
15:10As long as Miss Buckley
15:12is carrying our Brit family blood.
15:14She's my daughter-in-law.
15:16Harry,
15:16bring Miss Buckley to the car.
15:18We're going home.
15:19Harry White,
15:19the butler,
15:20nods and reaches out to help me.
15:22I'm exhausted from stress and pregnancy.
15:24After a few steps,
15:25I stumble forward.
15:26Just as I'm about to fall,
15:28a pair of hands scoops me up,
15:29holding me close.
15:30Ian's expression is calm.
15:32I may not acknowledge you,
15:34but you're carrying my baby,
15:36and you've been mine.
15:38I won't let anyone hurt you.
15:40The hall falls silent for a heartbeat,
15:41then erupts into a heated discussion.
15:43Everyone stares at me in disbelief.
15:45How could a woman
15:46from such a small family
15:48be carrying a child of the Brit family?
15:50Ian's prayer beads snap suddenly.
15:52Black pearls scatter across the floor.
15:53Frowning,
15:54he murmurs under his breath,
15:55I don't even know this woman.
15:57How could this be?
15:58The DNA report
15:59and the mention of his birthmark
16:00prove that the bride standing before him
16:02is his woman.
16:03Memories from three months ago
16:04come flooding back.
16:05That night,
16:05he was drugged after being seriously injured.
16:07In the end,
16:08he collapsed in a hotel room.
16:09In a haze of desire,
16:11he lost control.
16:12When he woke up,
16:12he thought it was just a dream.
16:13He didn't expect it to be real.
16:15Elaine,
16:16you really have no shame.
16:17Camila jumps in again
16:18when she first hears
16:19that the baby
16:19in my belly is Ian's.
16:21Her mask slips for a moment,
16:22revealing pure jealousy.
16:23But noticing that
16:24Ian doesn't acknowledge me at all,
16:25she quickly regains her smugness.
16:27You cheated behind Aiden's back
16:29and even crawled onto Mr. Brit's bed?
16:31You're far too calculating.
16:32You played us off for fools
16:33and dragged our family's reputation
16:35through the mud.
16:36To think of virtuous family like ours,
16:38produce such a promiscuous woman like you.
16:39I'm battered
16:40and weak from the blood draw.
16:42The baby's comfort is the only thing
16:44keeping me going while I wait for the result.
16:45The guests stare at me
16:46with judgmental gazes,
16:48all expecting Ian to tear me apart.
16:50No one believes that Ian,
16:51who stays away from women,
16:52could have a child.
16:53I know too that if the baby isn't his,
16:55I'm in for a total disaster.
16:57Finally,
16:57hurried footsteps echo from outside.
16:59Ian's assistant rushes in,
17:00holding a report.
17:01He whispers urgently into Ian's ear.
17:03Ian's usual cold expression
17:05gives way to sheer shock.
17:06Meanwhile,
17:06Steven taps his cane impatiently on the floor.
17:08Don't just whisper into his ears.
17:10Is this my grandchild or not?
17:12Tell me.
17:13Camila covers her mouth,
17:14smirking.
17:15It's obvious.
17:16No way that baby is a Brit.
17:18Elaine's lying.
17:19The assistant wipes the sweat from his brow
17:21and announces loudly,
17:22the baby in Miss Buckley's womb
17:24shares a 99.99% genetic match with Mr. Brit.
17:28Ian's gaze darkens,
17:29and then he nods once,
17:30giving me a chance.
17:31Fine.
17:33Let's do the DNA test.
17:34I'll make sure you die knowing the truth.
17:36Mom, you're amazing.
17:37I finally get to see Dad,
17:39getting slapped in the face.
17:41Ha ha ha.
17:41Don't worry, Mom.
17:42I'll teach you how to handle him.
17:45Once he falls for you,
17:46you'll have a loyal, clingy puppy.
17:48Soon, the chaos from the wedding
17:50spreads like wildfire.
17:51Ian's father, Steven Britt,
17:52gets the news and rushes to the scene.
17:54Seeing me having blood drawn by a private doctor,
17:56he can't hide the joy in his face.
17:58This is great.
17:58I actually get to hold my grandchild before I die.
18:01Ian smirks coldly.
18:02Let's see how she walks out of here.
18:04Once the truth comes out,
18:06I close my eyes,
18:07letting the blood flow.
18:09Mom and Dad hover nearby,
18:11terrified I'll drag the Buckley family down.
18:13Aiden's face looks as black as night.
18:14His fiancé is having a DNA test
18:16for another man's child at his wedding.
18:18Even if the man is Ian,
18:19it's a humiliation he can't swallow.
18:21Mom, luckily you didn't marry Aiden.
18:23He's scheming.
18:24How to make your life miserable after this wedding?
18:26Oh God, the blood draw is painful.
18:28But I'll put up with it
18:30for Mom's happiness.
18:32After I say that,
18:32Ian freezes for a fraction of a second.
18:34His expression remains calm,
18:35but his eyes reveal his shock.
18:36His red-colored birthmark is far below his waist.
18:38It's extremely private.
18:39Only someone very close to him knows about it.
18:41The other guests exchange confused glances,
18:43clearly not understanding what I mean.
18:45Camila, quick on her feet, interrupt.
18:47Elaine, everyone has birthmarks.
18:49How can you use something so meaningless
18:51as proof that Mr. Britt is the father?
18:53Countless women have tried similar tricks.
18:56Over the years,
18:57if you really want to prove the baby's his,
19:00why not just do a DNA test?
19:02Camila smirks,
19:02completely unconvinced
19:04that I could have anything with Ian.
19:05After all,
19:06a low-profile Buckley daughter like me
19:07could never be linked to
19:08one of the most powerful men in Drago.
19:10It took Aiden a lot of effort,
19:11connections,
19:12and money
19:12just to get Ian
19:14to show up at this wedding.
19:15The crowd starts echoing.
19:16Yeah,
19:17do a DNA test
19:18and give this woman a slap in the face.
19:20Who does she think she is?
19:21Trying to attach herself to Mr. Britt
19:23and openly claiming at her wedding
19:25that her baby is his?
19:28How shameless.
19:30Wasn't she so bold?
19:32Let's run the test.
19:33Expose her ugly lies
19:34and make it impossible for her to stay in Drago.
19:37The soft clack of Ian's prayer beads fills the hall.
19:39Each sounds sharp and chilling.
19:40It's a warning that his anger is building.
19:42Aiden presses my head down,
19:44forcing me to kneel on the floor
19:45while apologizing.
19:46I'm sorry, Mr. Britt.
19:48She's not in her right mind.
19:49Please forgive her this once.
19:50Go on.
19:51Apologize to Mr. Britt.
19:52Hurry up.
19:53Noticing that Aiden doesn't care at all.
19:54When I say the child isn't his,
19:56I realize he knows perfectly well
19:57that the baby in my belly isn't his.
19:59He just wants to control me
20:00so he can openly have an affair with Camila later.
20:02Mom, don't worry.
20:03Once there's proof that I'm dad's,
20:06he won't ignore us.
20:08With the Britt family backing us,
20:10anyone who's bullied you will pay for it.
20:12Proof?
20:13I laugh bitterly.
20:14I don't have any proof.
20:15I barely know Ian.
20:16Mom lunges forward
20:17and slaps me hard across the face twice.
20:19She yells,
20:20Apologize to Mr. Britt now.
20:22Are you trying to ruin our family?
20:24Ian looks down at me.
20:26I feel small,
20:27like a helpless insect.
20:28That night of passion
20:29seems like a fading illusion.
20:30Suddenly,
20:31a thought strikes me.
20:32I raise my head and say calmly,
20:34Mr. Britt,
20:35I saw your red-colored birthmark.
20:37Ian suddenly stops.
20:38The air goes eerily still.
20:40All the guests in the banquet hall
20:41turn to look at me.
20:42Not with mockery this time,
20:43but like I've lost my mind.
20:45Camila didn't expect me
20:45to drag Ian into this.
20:47She grins
20:47and leans close to whisper,
20:50Elaine,
20:51even if you wanted to aim high,
20:52you picked the wrong target.
20:54Ian's not someone
20:55you can just latch on to.
20:57She's right.
20:58Everyone knows Ian avoids women
20:59and hates contact with them.
21:01The prayer beads around his wrist
21:02are proof of his vow
21:03to cut off attachments.
21:04The last woman
21:04who approached him
21:05with ill intentions
21:06ended up with her hands
21:07and feet broken.
21:07Is she looking to die?
21:09I thought she was just being shameless,
21:11but it turns out she's crazy.
21:13Anyone who messes with Mr. Britt
21:15doesn't end well.
21:16Everyone holds their breath,
21:17waiting for Ian to snap.
21:18And sure enough,
21:19when he turns around,
21:20his lips are pressed tight
21:21and his expression is icy.
21:23His cold eyes stare at me
21:24as if I'm dead.
21:24He rolls the beads
21:25between his fingers,
21:26murmuring,
21:26Huh.
21:27My baby?
21:29Miss Buckley,
21:30you've got some guts.
21:31No one in all of Draco
21:32has had the nerve
21:33to come to me
21:34with a pregnant belly,
21:35claiming I'm the father.
21:36I've heard your reputation.
21:38Have you sunk so low
21:39as to name another man?
21:41The father of your baby
21:42at your wedding?
21:43Take me with you.
21:44Please.
21:45Ian's face is hard
21:46to make out in the backlight.
21:48The next second,
21:48he shoves me hard.
21:49He brushes off his suit
21:50as if he had touched
21:51something filthy
21:52and looks at me with disgust.
21:53Get lost.
21:54Don't you know
21:55I don't touch women?
21:56Such an actor.
21:57Don't believe him.
21:58He's just putting on an act.
22:00When he falls for you,
22:01he'll be all clingy
22:02like a puppy.
22:03Ian turns to leave again,
22:04but I grab onto his pant leg,
22:05refusing to let him go.
22:06Footsteps thunder behind me.
22:08Aiden and the bodyguards
22:09rush forward
22:09and clamp onto me.
22:10Mom and dad watch.
22:11Ian's dark expression in fear.
22:13I'm sorry, Mr. Britt.
22:15My daughter is not
22:15in her right mind.
22:16Please forgive her.
22:17We'll pay you.
22:18A personal visit
22:19to apologize soon.
22:20Aiden chimes in,
22:21looking humble.
22:23Mr. Britt,
22:23I failed to keep an eye
22:24on my girlfriend.
22:25I'll teach her a lesson
22:26when we get back.
22:27Please forgive us.
22:28Meanwhile,
22:29Camilla stares at Ian
22:30in a daze.
22:30This is the man
22:31nearly every woman in Drago
22:32is obsessed with.
22:33Ian doesn't answer.
22:34He just looks down at my hand,
22:35gripping his pant leg.
22:36Camilla glances at me too.
22:37She lifts her heel
22:38and stomps hard
22:39on the back of my hand.
22:40Elaine,
22:41how dare you offend Mr. Britt?
22:42Let go.
22:43I scream in pain.
22:44Ian seizes the moment
22:45to pull his leg free
22:46and strides away coldly.
22:47His broad back
22:48is about to disappear
22:49from view.
22:49Panicked,
22:50I shout after him,
22:51Ian,
22:51the baby in my belly
22:53is yours.
22:54Everyone looks at me
22:55with mockery and amusement.
22:56No one respects my choice.
22:58For the first time,
22:59I snap awake,
22:59as if doused with cold water.
23:00I realize how bad
23:01my situation is.
23:02Camilla and Aiden
23:03have been using me
23:03as a pawn
23:04for their own gain.
23:04Once the ceremony is over,
23:06Aiden will find an excuse.
23:07He'll lock you
23:08in the basement.
23:09The black cars
23:09are all waiting
23:10at the doors.
23:11The moment you step out,
23:12you'll be taken away.
23:14Mom,
23:14go to my real dad
23:15for help.
23:16Right,
23:17Ian.
23:17I look toward Ian,
23:18but he's already standing
23:20and walking out
23:21with his assistant.
23:21Oh no,
23:22dad's about to fly off
23:23chasing his lost love.
23:25Ian's my last lifeline.
23:27Desperate,
23:28I bite down hard
23:29on Aiden's hand.
23:30He yelps in pain
23:31and releases me.
23:31I spin around
23:32and dash toward Ian.
23:33A bodyguard rushes
23:34to stop me,
23:35but I crash
23:35into the nearest table,
23:36sending the stack
23:37of wine glasses flying.
23:38My long dress
23:39whips through
23:40the chaotic crowd.
23:41Guests scream
23:42as chaos erupts,
23:44but I don't care.
23:45I hitch up my wedding dress
23:46and head straight for Ian.
23:47His assistant
23:47hasn't even reacted yet.
23:48Ian turns at the sound
23:49and I crash
23:51straight into his arms.
23:52The soft clack
23:52of Ian's prayer beads
23:53fills the hall,
23:54each sound sharp and chilling.
23:55It's a warning
23:56that his anger is building.
23:57Aiden presses my head down,
23:58forcing me to kneel
23:59on the floor
24:00while apologizing.
24:01I'm sorry,
24:02Mr. Britt.
24:02She's not in her right mind.
24:04Please forgive her this once.
24:05Go on,
24:06apologize to Mr. Britt.
24:07Hurry up,
24:08noticing that Aiden
24:09doesn't care at all.
24:09When I say the child
24:10isn't his,
24:11I realize he knows
24:11perfectly well
24:12that the baby
24:13in my belly
24:13isn't his.
24:14He just wants to control me
24:15so he can openly
24:16have an affair
24:16with Camilla later.
24:17Mom,
24:18don't worry.
24:18Once there's proof
24:19that I'm dad's,
24:21he won't ignore us.
24:23With the Britt family
24:24backing us,
24:25anyone who's bullied you
24:26will pay for it.
24:27Proof?
24:28I laugh bitterly.
24:29I don't have any proof.
24:30I barely know Ian.
24:31Mom lunges forward
24:32and slaps me hard
24:33across the face twice.
24:34She yells,
24:35apologize to Mr. Britt now.
24:37Are you trying to ruin
24:38our family?
24:39Ian looks down at me.
24:41I feel small,
24:42like a helpless insect.
24:43That night of passion
24:44seems like a fading illusion.
24:45Suddenly,
24:46a thought strikes me.
24:47I raise my head
24:47and say calmly,
24:48Mr. Britt,
24:49I saw your red-colored
24:51birthmark.
24:57The whispers reach my ears
24:58and I realize just how bad
25:00my reputation
25:00in Drago
25:01has become.
25:02But I used to be
25:03the sensible and clever heiress
25:04of the Buckley family.
25:05Ever since Camilla
25:06came into the house,
25:07my standing has been sinking
25:08and even mom,
25:09dad,
25:09and Aiden
25:10have started treating me differently.
25:11Aiden grabs my hand.
25:13Ignoring my words,
25:14he announces to everyone,
25:15Elaine's just a little upset.
25:16Please bear with her.
25:18She's agreed to marry me
25:19and I'm happy to make her my wife.
25:21I catch Camilla
25:22clenching her fists.
25:23I take a deep breath,
25:25shake off Aiden's hand
25:26and say firmly,
25:27I'm not marrying you.
25:28I know everything
25:30about you and Camilla.
25:32The baby in her belly.
25:33He is yours,
25:34isn't it?
25:35The words hit like thunder,
25:37detonating through the banquet hall.
25:38Way to go, mom.
25:40Time to expose
25:41those two hypocrites.
25:43Camilla
25:44has been spreading dirt about you.
25:46Your ruined reputation
25:47is all thanks to her,
25:49the baby in my belly
25:50screams with glee,
25:51stirring up chaos
25:52like it's his mission.
25:53Camilla steps onto the stage
25:55with her pregnant belly
25:55and stands beside Aiden.
25:57Elaine,
25:58what are you throwing
25:59a fit about now?
26:00Aiden already agreed
26:01to marry you.
26:02When she comes closer,
26:03I notice the diamond ring
26:04on her hand.
26:05It's exactly the same style
26:06as my wedding ring.
26:07Mine looks like
26:07cheap plastic in comparison.
26:09In that instant,
26:10everything clicked.
26:11The baby in my belly
26:12is part of a scheme
26:13she and Aiden
26:13have been planning all along.
26:15She's just an adopted daughter
26:16with no right to marry
26:17into the Miller family.
26:18I'm nothing more than a tool
26:19to make the union happen for her.
26:21Dad stands up
26:21and reprimands me.
26:22Elaine,
26:23have you not embarrassed us enough?
26:25This marriage isn't something
26:26you can just call off.
26:27You begged
26:27and screamed to marry Aiden before
26:30and now you back out
26:31in front of everyone?
26:32Marriage isn't a game.
26:33Can't you act
26:34half as sensible
26:35as Camilla?
26:36No matter what,
26:37you will marry Aiden today.
26:38The wedding has turned
26:39into a farce.
26:40Guests whisper
26:40among themselves,
26:41eager for the spectacle.
26:42Mr. Buckley's real daughter
26:44is truly hopeless.
26:45She used to
26:46pursue Mr. Miller recklessly.
26:48Now that she has him,
26:49she wants to back out?
26:50Everyone's waiting
26:51to see her get kicked out.
26:52The adopted daughter
26:53is much more sensible
26:55and clever.
26:55She married a rich guy
26:56and is living comfortably.
26:58Mr. Buckley is so unlucky
27:00to have such a worthless
27:01biological daughter.
27:03I'm marrying my longtime boyfriend
27:04because I'm pregnant.
27:05At the wedding,
27:06the officiant asks
27:07if I'm willing to marry
27:07Aiden Miller.
27:08I'm just about to say yes
27:09when a childlike voice
27:10appears out of nowhere.
27:11Mom, don't say yes.
27:13Aiden isn't my dad.
27:14The baby in your sister,
27:15Camilla Buckley's belly,
27:16is his.
27:17My brain completely
27:18crashes at those words.
27:19Everyone is waiting
27:20for my answer,
27:21but I freeze.
27:22The baby I'm carrying
27:23isn't Aiden's?
27:25Then whose is it?
27:26The next second,
27:27the little voice speaks again.
27:29Silly mom,
27:30that jerk has been cheating
27:31for a long time.
27:32If you marry him,
27:33he'll lock you
27:34in a basement.
27:35Go ask my real dad
27:36for help.
27:37He's the hottest
27:37and richest man
27:38sitting down there.
27:39I'm shaken.
27:39I can't help but glance
27:40at Ian Britt,
27:41the ascetic rich air
27:42sitting below the stage.
27:43Today is supposed to be
27:44my wedding with Aiden,
27:45yet people keep drifting
27:46toward him with their eyes.
27:47His looks and presence
27:48stand out too much.
27:49I glance at him
27:50and unexpectedly
27:51meet his cold gaze.
27:52I quickly look away,
27:53my heart pounding.
27:54Baby,
27:55do you even know
27:56who he is?
27:57He's the one and only
27:58CEO of Brittcorp.
27:59He's never had any woman.
28:01How could you be his kid?
28:03Even if Aiden is poor,
28:05you can't just make things up
28:06and deny your dad.
28:08Baby,
28:08be realistic.
28:10It's too late
28:11to switch fathers
28:11at the wedding.
28:12Try again in your next life.
28:14I comfort the baby.
28:15I assume he doesn't
28:16accept Aiden as his father
28:17because the ladder is broke.
28:18But the little voice screams,
28:20Did you forget
28:21that night you woke up
28:22in a hotel?
28:23Aiden and Camilla
28:24tricked you there
28:26and tried to offer you
28:27to a client,
28:28but you walked
28:28into the wrong room.
28:29The man beside you
28:30that night
28:31was Ian.
28:32I'm stunned.
28:33That man was Ian?
28:35I thought it was Aiden.
28:37Memories rushed back.
28:38Late at night,
28:39red marks traced a bare back
28:40as two bodies tangled.
28:41Aiden is still looking
28:42at me gently,
28:42but what fills my mind now is
28:44Ian's sweat and stifled
28:45gasps from that night.
28:46He pinned my hands
28:47above my head
28:47as he demanded more.
28:48The untouchable,
28:49aesthetic rich air
28:49turns out to be anything
28:50but restrained and private.
28:51Noticing I don't respond,
28:52the officiant repeats,
28:53Miss Elaine Buckley,
28:54do you take Mr. Aiden Miller
28:55to be your lawfully
28:56wedded husband?
28:57Aiden squeezes my hand,
28:58concern flickering in his eyes.
28:59What's wrong, Elaine?
29:00Are you still not ready?
29:02He rubs my palm gently
29:04to reassure me.
29:05Don't be afraid.
29:06Once you marry me,
29:07I'll give you everything
29:09I have to love you.
29:10Don't believe him.
29:11He bought a villa
29:12right next to your marital home
29:13to raise his kid with Camilla.
29:16I jolt and shout,
29:18No, I do not.
29:19The moment I say that,
29:20gasps ripple through the room.
29:21The Miller family
29:22is well known in Drago.
29:24No one expects me
29:25to reject Aiden in public,
29:27especially since
29:28I went all out
29:29pursuing him back then,
29:30acting like a total simp
29:31without any shame.
29:32Everyone says,
29:33The Buckley family's
29:33eldest daughter is promiscuous.
29:34Now that I'm finally settling down,
29:36I'm throwing away.
29:37A perfect marriage handed to me.
29:38Aiden's expression darkens.
29:40He clearly didn't expect this.
29:42Elaine, stop messing around.
29:44This is our wedding.
29:45If you're upset with me,
29:47we can talk after it's over.
29:49If you wait,
29:50it'll be too late.
29:52My real dad
29:52is about to go overseas
29:54to chase his first love.
29:55Mom,
29:56time's running out.
29:57Dump this jerk
29:59and go get my rich,
30:00handsome dad back.
30:01I'm not getting married.
30:02I reply firmly,
30:04my son wouldn't lie to me.
30:05If he says Aiden is a jerk,
30:06then this wedding cannot happen.
