Short filmTranscript
00:00You may leave now.
00:02Not bad for your first time.
00:05If you need anything, come and find me.
00:10Mrs. Lawrence, should I take you to the hospital?
00:26Chad, it's time.
00:28If I commence the plan, I will erase all my identities.
00:35I'll make sure Morgan never finds me again.
00:40My husband, Morgan Lawrence, isn't he?
00:48Then one day, when he suddenly kept a mistress to see you.
00:55Don't look.
00:57It's gross.
01:00That poor girl from the slums.
01:02She's full of scars, yet pure as snow.
01:04She let Morgan, who was steeped in bloodshed,
01:07taste addiction for the first time.
01:09Come on.
01:10He thought he hid it well.
01:12But I soon found out.
01:14I overturned the table at the family banquet.
01:16He didn't even blink.
01:19He just wiped his hands calmly
01:22and told his assistant to hand me divorce papers.
01:27Now, Zoe,
01:29sign the divorce papers.
01:31You're going to get three private hospitals.
01:46I'll never do it.
01:48I tore them up.
01:49So he got more violent.
01:51Pushed me off the pier.
01:53Blew up my family's pharmaceutical plants.
01:57Finally, he had my parents kidnapped.
02:00I found their bodies.
02:01We're tied to five motorcycles.
02:04Dad!
02:04Mom!
02:05Who did this to you?
02:07Zoe, why are you here?
02:08Leave now.
02:09It's dangerous.
02:09No, dear.
02:11I'm saving you!
02:16Hello?
02:18Sign the divorce papers.
02:20Or watch your parents get torn to pieces.
02:23It's your call.
02:25Where are you?
02:26Please, I'm begging you!
02:27Don't do this!
02:30So you still haven't decided?
02:33No, I...
02:36No!
02:37Zoe!
02:38Zoe!
02:43My Mia.
02:44Go on.
02:45Press the button for the fireworks.
02:59Loving Morgan is the biggest regret of my life.
03:04If I could turn back time,
03:06I would rather die alone
03:07than be tied to him again.
03:13When I opened my eyes,
03:15I was back to the day I discovered Mia.
03:18This time,
03:20no tears or drama,
03:22I contacted a winery in Zeeland,
03:24ready to divorce and vanish.
03:26I never thought
03:27that my disappearance
03:29would drive him insane.
03:32Hey, Chad.
03:35Get my parents relocated
03:37to Zeeland in three days.
03:44Also,
03:47I want to get a divorce.
03:49Miss Simmons,
03:50why the sudden divorce
03:51from Mr. Lawrence?
03:52Marrying him
03:53was your lifelong dream, right?
03:58Just draft the divorce papers
04:00right this instant.
04:01All right, ma'am.
04:02Right away.
04:03In my past life,
04:04he forced me to divorce.
04:05I refused it
04:06and got my family killed.
04:08This time,
04:10I won't repeat
04:11that same mistake.
04:14Miss Simmons,
04:15your divorce documents
04:17are ready for signing.
04:18Before I leave,
04:20I really have to see you
04:21with my own two eyes.
04:24who this woman is
04:26I lost to.
04:40I didn't expect
04:42that she would be so pure.
04:45No wonder
04:46Morgan's obsessed with her
04:48and he wanted me dead
04:50just as a gift for her.
04:54However,
04:56I won't give you
04:57another chance
04:58to hurt me.
05:02Watch out!
05:03The chandelier's gonna fall!
05:19Why'd she save me?
05:20Oh, miss.
05:21Your hand.
05:24It's all right.
05:26Our God protects us all.
05:32Thanks for saving me,
05:33but I'm a stranger.
05:35Why would you risk yourself for me?
05:38Doesn't matter who.
05:40I'd save anyone.
05:41Someone as gorgeous as you
05:43should live a good life.
05:48You...
05:49Why do you have so many scars?
05:52I...
05:53got them as a kid
05:54when a metal sheet fell on me.
05:56It doesn't hurt.
05:57In the slums,
05:59there's no proper medical care.
06:00It's just burned wounds
06:01to stop the bleeding.
06:03She's covered in wounds.
06:04It radiates purity.
06:06No wonder Morgan
06:07sees this girl
06:07as his only salvation.
06:13Miss,
06:14your hands are shaking.
06:16Are you scared?
06:19in my past life,
06:21Morgan used her hands
06:22to press the button
06:23that killed both my parents.
06:33Wait.
06:36Thanks for saving me.
06:37It's a token of gratitude.
06:40In a month,
06:42I'm gonna give you
06:43something even better.
06:44So in return,
06:46I will make her
06:47Morgan's new wife.
06:51Helping people
06:52shouldn't be transactional.
06:54Ew!
06:58It's Morgan.
06:59I can't let him see me
07:01right next to me.
07:05Or else
07:06he'll get the wrong idea.
07:09Hey,
07:09Mia.
07:10Are you hurt?
07:12Oh,
07:12Morgan.
07:13That's very impressive.
07:15She only just got hurt.
07:17And instantly,
07:18you called to check on her.
07:20I'm alright.
07:21It's just a scratch.
07:22No need to come.
07:23Mr. Loras,
07:23the helicopter is ready.
07:25Wait for me.
07:26I'll be there soon.
07:28Well,
07:28Morgan.
07:29She got a scrape
07:30and you're coming
07:31with a chopper.
07:32When I was on the brink of death,
07:34you called me filthy.
07:41She has a hemorrhage.
07:43This is critical.
07:43Any later,
07:44she'd be dead.
07:45As her family,
07:46you're so careless.
07:47Didn't you notice sooner?
07:48I'm not her family.
07:50Mrs. Lawrence,
07:51Mr. Lawrence sent these flowers.
07:52Please get well soon.
07:56Don't die in the hospital.
07:58I don't have time
07:59for your corpse.
08:02I'm such a jerk.
08:03His wife's life is on the line.
08:05He can't even bother to visit.
08:11So it turns out
08:13you never actually loved me.
08:17There's really no need to come.
08:19It's not that serious.
08:30By this time,
08:31Morgan must have already
08:32left the church
08:33with Mia.
08:35Well,
08:36Morgan,
08:36in my past life,
08:38you went through so much trouble
08:39to get us divorced.
08:40This time,
08:42I'll do it myself.
08:47Mrs. Lawrence,
08:48Mr. Lawrence is still in the meeting.
08:50Please wait a moment.
08:52Meeting?
08:53Uh, yes.
08:56Oh, Mrs. Lawrence?
09:00Let me see.
09:03Hold still.
09:05Bear with it.
09:10The man who once had
09:11traitor's fingers crushed
09:13one by one
09:13is now treating a splinter
09:16like it's a crisis.
09:18I used to be
09:19afraid of pain, too.
09:30If it hurts,
09:31endure it.
09:32Just don't let me
09:32smell your blood.
09:37And because of his words,
09:39for ten years,
09:40I avoided using bandages
09:42for fear of his disgust.
09:46Mrs. Lawrence?
09:47Mrs. Lawrence?
09:53It's nothing.
09:55I have a document
09:56for him to sign.
09:57Mrs. Lawrence,
09:58you can leave it with me.
10:02Please don't tell him
10:03I was here.
10:04Yes, ma'am.
10:11Morgan thinks that
10:12I loved him
10:13to the point of madness.
10:14In my past life,
10:15he threw me off the PR,
10:16yet I still refused
10:17the divorce.
10:18He would never expect
10:19that I'd be the one
10:20handing him divorce papers.
10:26Mr. Lawrence,
10:28these documents
10:28require your signature.
10:30Yes.
10:30Yes.
10:30Yes.
10:30Yes.
10:31Yes.
10:32Yes.
10:32Yes.
10:33Mr. Lawrence,
10:35you're wha-
10:36I mean,
10:37a friend of yours
10:37delivered this.
10:38Won't you take a look at it?
10:40Was it Zoe?
10:43Mr. Lawrence,
10:44aren't you worried
10:45she will find out?
10:47You have no idea
10:48how much she loves me.
10:49Even if she knew,
10:51I know that Zoe
10:52would never leave me.
10:55Hmph.
11:04A decade ago,
11:06I learned I had a fiancƩ
11:08named Morgan Lawrence.
11:11They said
11:13that man feels no pain.
11:15He lacks empathy
11:17and detests
11:19warmth from living things.
11:22Yes.
11:24Cheers, gentlemen.
11:25Mom,
11:25is that guy my fiancƩ?
11:27Morgan Lawrence?
11:32Yes, Zoe.
11:33Tell me,
11:33do you like him?
11:35Yes, Mom.
11:37He doesn't love me,
11:39but he doesn't love anyone.
11:41So I naively believe that
11:43if I behaved perfectly
11:45and earned enough for him,
11:47the day will come
11:47I'd melt this ice.
11:50But now,
11:51this decade-long delusion...
11:58is finally over.
12:03Mrs. Lawrence,
12:04here's your wedding gown.
12:05What are you planning?
12:07Burn it.
12:07What?
12:08But this gown
12:10is your favorite
12:10in your wardrobe.
12:13I once thought of it
12:14as a trophy.
12:16I kept on thinking.
12:17See?
12:18Even this heartless monster
12:20could be mine
12:21whenever I wished
12:22to have him.
12:24But tonight,
12:26my dream ends.
12:40The cooling period
12:41only has
12:42five days left.
12:43Until now,
12:45Morgan never once
12:45returned home.
12:47Mrs. Lawrence,
12:48are you sure
12:48about your belongings?
12:50You're really
12:50discarding them?
12:51Yes, May.
12:52Throw them all away.
12:54Okay.
13:02God,
13:04please bless my parents
13:05and keep them safe.
13:07Give them long life.
13:20Miss,
13:21my boyfriend
13:22visited me
13:22the other day.
13:23I'm really sorry.
13:25If you don't mind,
13:26I'd like to treat you
13:27to dinner.
13:28No,
13:29I should apologize.
13:30This meal
13:31should be on me.
13:33Let's go.
13:48Hey,
13:49what's wrong?
13:49Tell me.
13:51Miss,
13:52I love my boyfriend
13:54so much.
13:54I even broke rules
13:56for him.
13:56But when I told him
13:57that I was pregnant,
13:59he avoided me.
14:00Why is that?
14:05So,
14:06they did it.
14:08I already saw it coming.
14:09But when I heard it
14:10from her,
14:11why does my heart
14:12still ache so much?
14:14Miss,
14:15Miss,
14:16do you think
14:17he actually has
14:19a family?
14:22If she learns
14:23the truth
14:24that I'm actually
14:25Morgan's wife,
14:26she'll never accept it.
14:27And Morgan,
14:28he will never
14:29let me off.
14:30Zoe!
14:31No, dear!
14:33No!
14:35Gosh,
14:36no.
14:36I can't let that
14:37tragedy happen again.
14:39Mia must never
14:40know the truth.
14:41At least,
14:42before I leave
14:43this place,
14:44nothing can happen
14:45to her.
14:45How could that be?
14:47You're God's
14:48favorite daughter.
14:48If I were your boyfriend,
14:51I'm going to
14:52spoil you rotten.
14:53I'd never
14:54avoid you.
14:55But...
14:56Excuse me, bud.
14:57I need to
14:57use the restroom.
15:09Hey.
15:10Dad?
15:11Did you arrive
15:12in Zealand safely?
15:14Zoe,
15:15don't worry.
15:16Your mom and I
15:17got here fine.
15:18Although,
15:19why were you
15:20in such a rush
15:21to move our
15:21family to
15:22Xeneland?
15:25Dad,
15:27trust me.
15:28When this is all
15:29over,
15:29I'll explain
15:30everything.
15:31Okay.
15:32No matter what
15:33you do,
15:33we've got your
15:34back.
15:35We love you.
15:36We can start
15:37over in this place.
15:38We just want
15:39you to be happy.
15:41Dad,
15:43I know
15:43what to do
15:44now.

15:52costly girl.

17:55I'm hurt too?
17:58Oh,
17:59Morgan!
18:01Since
18:02when have you
18:02known about
18:03Mia?
18:05Morgan,
18:06do you really
18:07think this was
18:07all my plan?
18:08Do you think
18:09I sent those
18:10thugs to
18:10assault her?
18:11No,
18:12Morgan!
18:12I came here
18:13to save her!
18:18I don't like
18:19your answer.
18:23This time,
18:24it's your turn
18:25to talk.
18:26Wait,
18:27I...
18:28Tell him

18:30I came
18:31to rescue her!
18:33Tell the truth!
18:35It's...
18:35It was...
18:36It was her!
18:37She hired us!
18:38She wanted
18:39to humiliate
18:39Mia!
18:40She promised
18:41we could
18:41join your crew!
18:42if we make
18:43sure to violate
18:43Mia!
18:44And we could
18:45work under
18:45you in the
18:46end!
18:47What the

18:48you say?
18:50All right,
18:51then I'm
18:51going to
18:51teach you
18:52and show
18:53you exactly
18:53what karma
18:54feels like.
18:57Listen up,
18:58guys.
18:59Take turns
18:59with her
19:00tonight.
19:01If you do
19:01that,
19:03then I'll
19:04let this
19:05slide.
19:06But,
19:07Morgan...
19:09I'm your
19:09wife!
19:10How could
19:11you?
19:12Mr.
19:13Lawrence,
19:13don't worry.
19:14We won't
19:15let you
19:15down!
19:25No,
19:26Morgan!
19:27You're
19:28such a
19:28scumbag!
19:32Hey,
19:33girl.
19:33Oh,
19:34I wish
19:34this gunshot
19:35wound would
19:35have been
19:35fatal,
19:36that I
19:37wouldn't have
19:37to endure
19:37this suffering.
19:38Come on!
19:39Let me
19:39go!
19:40Shut up!
19:47She's
19:48still a
19:48virgin,
19:50jackpot!
19:55that was
19:56the closest
19:57I've been
19:57to being
19:57happy.
19:58I thought
19:59that in
19:59time,
20:00he and I
20:01would grow
20:01to love
20:01each other
20:02and become
20:03a perfect
20:03couple.
20:05But all
20:06of it
20:08was a
20:08delusion.
20:15You may
20:16leave now.
20:18not bad
20:19for your
20:19first time.
20:21If you
20:22need
20:22anything,
20:23come and
20:23find me.
20:27Mrs.
20:27Lawrence,
20:28should I
20:28take you
20:29to the
20:29hospital?
20:41chad,
