Short filmTranscript
00:00The day before our wedding, my fiancé Alexander Carter died in a horrific car accident.
00:08Everyone expected me to fall apart, to spiral into hysteria, but I didn't.
00:15I neither cried nor made a scene.
00:18Five years later, in a luxury hotel in Manhattan, that man had apparently risen from the dead,
00:26and he was passionately making love, to my stepsister Marjorie.
00:32Seeing Alexander again, I never imagined it would be, under these circumstances.
00:39He had his hands on Marjorie's waist, their bodies pressed tightly together.
00:45A few minutes later, Marjorie collapsed breathlessly into his arms, her cheeks flushed as.
00:53She playfully scolded.
00:56Oh my god.
00:57I surrender.
00:59You're going to suffocate me.
01:01You're such an animal.
01:03I'm not talking to you anymore.
01:06Alexander buried his face in the curve of her neck.
01:10That's what you call being an animal?
01:12Funny.
01:13That's not what you were saying last night, when you were begging me to.
01:18The party erupted in even louder cheers.
01:21Everyone making increasingly risque jokes.
01:25Marjorie pretended to cover his mouth, but melted against him like she had.
01:31No bones left in her body.
01:34Someone called out teasingly.
01:36Alex, it's been five years.
01:40Aren't you going to do something about Elizabeth King?
01:44Alexander leaned back lazily, against the leather sofa, shrugging with complete indifference.
01:52Handle it?
01:53Of course I'll handle it.
01:55I'm just not done playing yet.
01:57Once Marjorie and I tie the knot, I'll naturally recover my memory and rise from the dead.
02:04Who doesn't know?
02:06That woman loved Alex with no dignity.
02:09Like a crazy stalker?
02:11If she finds out Alex is alive, she'll probably do the same thing.
02:17She did five years ago.
02:19Kneel at the church door in a snowstorm.
02:22Praying to God for Alex's safety.
02:25Ha ha ha.
02:26Just thinking about Elizabeth's desperate face.
02:30Cracks me up.
02:31She's been a doormat for five years.
02:34And without Alex, she's practically a walking corpse.
02:39The entire room erupted in laughter, nearly shaking the roof.
02:44I wanted to leave, but someone with sharp eyes saw me.
02:49Hey, isn't that Elizabeth?
02:52Timothy, Alexander's good friend, who had laughed the loudest, awkwardly tried to explain.
03:00Ah, Elizabeth.
03:02Alex is alive.
03:04We didn't tell you.
03:06Because he lost his memory.
03:08And there's another woman now.
03:10We didn't want to hurt you.
03:13Yeah, exactly.
03:14We all know that deep down.
03:17Alex's true love is you.
03:19But he's forgotten.
03:20Even if you make a scene now, he'll just think you're crazy.
03:25Before I could respond, Alexander let out a mocking laugh.
03:29I heard you, the fiancé.
03:32Who loves me to death?
03:33He glanced disdainfully.
03:35At my minimalist outfit.
03:38Clearly disgusted.
03:40Without me?
03:41How could you look like this?
03:43Do you really think you can't live without me?
03:46Alexander was still the same Alexander.
03:50Arrogant and insufferable.
03:52Five years apart.
03:54Seeing the secret satisfaction in his eyes.
03:58I no longer felt the heart pounding.
04:01Attraction I once did.
04:03Only disgust remained.
04:05I had just gotten off the plane.
04:08And hadn't adjusted to the time difference.
04:10I came to this hotel just because their kitchen had my daughter's favorite strawberry mousse.
04:19Seeing that I wasn't speaking, Alexander lazily wrapped his arm around Marjorie and, in front of me, gave her a
04:28brief yet passionate French kiss.
04:30When they pulled apart, their lips were still tinged with, lingering affection.
04:38Oh, you're so annoying.
04:40My sister's watching.
04:43Marjorie feigned shyness.
04:45I pressed my lips together, feeling a wave of physical discomfort.
04:51Alexander misunderstood my expression and grinned.
04:56What's there to be afraid of?
04:58You're going to be my mistress.
05:00If she wants to stay with me, she'll have to.
05:03Get used to this threesome.
05:05He raised an eyebrow at me.
05:07In gratitude for your five years of waiting.
05:10I can keep you in an apartment on the Upper East Side.
05:14On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
05:18I'll be with Marjorie.
05:20And on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
05:24I'll come see you.
05:26As for Sundays.
05:27You'll serve us.
05:29A group of people immediately chimed in.
05:32Elizabeth.
05:33See, even though Alex lost his memory, he still loves you.
05:38He left you three days a week.
05:41Yeah.
05:42Exactly.
05:43Without Alex for five years.
05:45Look at what a wreck you've become.
05:48You must have been washing dishes overseas.
05:51Right?
05:52I just accept it that if Alex changes his mind, you won't even be able to beg for a single
05:58look.
05:59Marjorie tightly looped her arm around Alexander's ass, if marking her territory, provocatively looking at me.
06:09Sis.
06:09I didn't want this either.
06:12But Alex only loves me now.
06:15You'll just have to be his hidden mistress.
06:18Being a mistress isn't bad, is it?
06:22She wouldn't survive without me.
06:24If I told her to die, she'd do it without hesitation.
06:29Alexander confidently added,
06:31My heart seemed to be pricked.
06:34By something lightly .5 years ago, in that car accident, he had shielded me, using his body as a human
06:44shield.
06:45Just before he closed his eyes, he held my trembling hand and weakly comforted me.
06:51Don't be afraid.
06:52Honey, I'm tough.
06:54I won't die.
06:56I promised you.
06:57I'll be your guardian angel forever.
07:00No one can hurt you.
07:02Could someone who loved me so much, really become so unrecognizable, because of amnesia, pushing down the bitterness in my
07:12heart?
07:12I took a deep breath and smiled faintly.
07:16Excuse me.
07:17You've got the wrong person.
07:20I raised my hand to show my ring.
07:22And I'm already married.
07:24There was a brief silence.
07:27And then the room erupted.
07:29In mocking laughter, Alexander raised an eyebrow.
07:34Indifferent.
07:35Married?
07:36To a janitor or a homeless man?
07:39Elizabeth, don't tell me you think.
07:41This pathetic excuse is going to make me jealous?
07:46Are you out of your mind?
07:47He grabbed my wrist and, without waiting for a response, violently yanked the ring off my finger.
07:55I winced in pain and was about to speak, when Marjorie let out a mocking laugh.
08:02Alex, isn't this the eternal love ring you?
08:06Bought at Sotheby's for $200 million five years ago?
08:10Is she trying to say she married Uncle Arthur and became your aunt?
08:16At this, everyone laughed even harder.
08:20It is well known that the current head of the Carter family is Alexander's uncle, Arthur Carter, although he is
08:29only five years older than Alexander.
08:32He is a formidable Wall Street tycoon, whose name commands respect.
08:38Not only is he handsome and wealthy, but he also treasures his wife above all else.
08:45Sis, they've been married for five years, and no one has even seen his wife and daughter, as they are
08:52kept under tight protection.
08:55Sis, don't tell me you're trying to say you're Uncle Arthur's mysterious wife that he's kept hidden for five years.
09:02Sis, someone holding the ring teased.
09:05Don't say it.
09:06This ring looks pretty real dot must have cost a lot.
09:11Ha, Elizabeth really went all out to fool Alex.
09:15Facing all the doubts and mockery, I helplessly explained,
09:19This isn't a replica.
09:22This ring is real.
09:24Before I could finish, a slap landed across my face.
09:29The searing pain instantly exploding on my cheek.
09:33Are you out of your mind?
09:34Why drag my uncle into this?
09:36Everyone knows.
09:38My uncle treasures his wife.
09:41Above all else, do you really think he'd want you?
09:44Someone even I don't want.
09:46Someone second-hand trash?
09:48I can't stand women like you, who lie just to make me jealous.
09:52I must have been blind to have ever been interested in someone like you.
09:58I covered my face and slowly turned my head.
10:01Maybe my gaze was too calm, but Alexander suddenly looked guilty and turned his face away.
10:10Marjorie, however, wasn't letting me go.
10:14Sis, Alex may have lost his memory.
10:18But he's still willing to.
10:21Have you as his mistress.
10:23You should be grateful.
10:25Not try to harm him.
10:28You know.
10:29Poor Arthur loves his wife.
10:32More than anything.
10:34How dare you pretend to.
10:36Be Alex's aunt?
10:38Aren't you just causing trouble for him?
10:41You're so selfish and wicked.
10:44Marjorie was my stepfather's daughter.
10:47Seven days after my father's funeral, my mother had forced me to accept this stepsister,
10:54who was a year younger than me.
10:57She was like a ghost, unable to tolerate any happiness.
11:02I had around me.
11:04She took whatever she could from me.
11:06And what she couldn't take.
11:09She destroyed.
11:11Five years ago.
11:13Alexander had stood like a hero in front of me.
11:16Angrily scolding Marjorie.
11:18Now, the person in front of me was still the same.
11:24But now he stood in front of Marjorie, disdainfully throwing a stack of cash from his wallet.
11:32Isn't all of this for money?
11:34Pick it up.
11:34The sharp edges of the bill scraped across my forehead.
11:39A tiny bead of blood appeared, but I didn't wipe it off.
11:44I noticed a subtle flicker of unease in Alexander's eyes.
11:50The next second, I bent down to pick up the ring.
11:54He sighed with relief and mocked.
11:57This is more like it.
11:59If you're going to be a dog, you might as well act like one.
12:02I picked up the ring from the pile of green bills.
12:07In the corner, Alexander stared at me in disbelief, panic unexpectedly, rising in his chest.
12:16Before I left, he suddenly grabbed my hand.
12:21Are you addicted to acting?
12:23Isn't the money here enough to buy you a fake ring?
12:27I didn't understand why he suddenly panicked.
12:31Let go of me.
12:33He glared at me through clenched teeth.
12:36You really won't cry until you see the coffin.
12:39Huh.
12:40All right.
12:41Marjorie and I are getting married in a week.
12:44And my uncle will be back.
12:47From Europe that day.
12:48You should come too.
12:50So my uncle can see for himself.
12:53How shameless you are.
12:55This piece of trash I tossed aside.
12:57When Marjorie heard about the wedding, the joy on her face couldn't be hidden.
13:05Sis, don't tell me you're too scared to come because you're afraid we'll expose you.
13:12I carefully placed the ring into my bag and replied indifferently.
13:18All right.
13:19I'll come, Doc.
13:21I hope you won't regret it.
13:22I stopped for a few minutes at the door after leaving the private room.
13:27Timothy sighed.
13:28Alex, are you sure?
13:30This isn't going to backfire.
13:32I don't know.
13:34But Elizabeth seems off.
13:36Could she have really gotten married?
13:38Impossible.
13:40Alexander's voice was certain.
13:42She's just acting.
13:43Look at her pitiful face.
13:46She's still mine.
13:47All I have to do is snap my fingers.
13:51Thinking about the calm look I had when I left, he unconsciously pressed his lips together.
13:57I'm done playing.
13:58After the wedding, I'll regain my memory.
14:01Then I'll tell her I love her the most.
14:04And she'll come crawling back to me.
14:06Like a dog.
14:08Wagging her tail.
14:09Alex, you're truly the master of love.
14:12With just one memory loss.
14:14You've lived freely for five years.
14:17And made Elizabeth wait for you.
14:20Without complaint.
14:22Marjorie pouted.
14:24Alex, what am I going to do?
14:26Once you regain your memory?
14:29Alexander pinched her waist.
14:31Same as before.
14:33And besides, isn't cheating even more thrilling?
14:37I silently listened.
14:38My heart is cold as ice.
14:40I quickly walked toward the hotel exit, taking a few deep breaths of the cold air to suppress the nausea
14:47in my chest.
14:48What Alexander didn't know was that five years ago, the night he died in that car accident, I received a
14:56video.
14:56I opened my phone.
14:58In the video, his voice came through with a smile.
15:02I love Elizabeth, but she's too boring, like a nun.
15:06The thought of only having her, as my wife after marriage, makes me feel completely drained.
15:14I'll fake my death and go play for a few years.
15:19Then come back and say I've lost my memory.
15:21Make sure you record plenty of videos of her suffering.
15:26I can't wait to see how heartbroken she'll be.
15:30On the day the doctor declared him dead, I did exactly as he wished.
15:35That kind of soul-crushing despair left me unable to even cry.
15:39I thought about ending it all, but his friends desperately stopped me.
15:44I never realized that, hidden in the shadows.
15:47A phone recorded my pain.
15:50I didn't see through their fake mourning, their barely suppressed laughter.
15:54I put my phone away.
15:56From that day on, Alexander was dead.
16:00But in my heart, he was truly gone.
16:03The news of Alexander being alive was revealed along with his wedding announcement, causing
16:08a huge stir.
16:10That evening, Marjorie updated her Instagram.
16:13A romantic wedding scene.
16:16A Vera Wong Haute couture wedding dress.
16:19The eternal love, diamond ring.
16:21All of it was what Alexander had carefully prepared for me back then.
16:26In the photos, they were holding hands tightly, with captions full of sweet, loving words.
16:33I was about to exit the app when Alexander's text popped up.
16:37Are you going crazy?
16:38With jealousy yet?
16:40Without a second thought, I blocked and deleted him.
16:44Marjorie's message appeared immediately after.
16:46You must have seen it by now.
16:49You're just a dog we play with.
16:52Only I deserve to be Mrs. Carter.
16:55I gave her the same treatment.
16:57A week later, the wedding was held as scheduled at the St. Regis Hotel.
17:03Because my daughter Lily was being clingy, by the time I arrived at the hotel, the ceremony
17:08had already reached the exchange of rings.
17:12Alexander, who kept glancing toward the door, visibly relaxed when he saw me enter that he
17:18curved his lips into a smile, and when the pastor asked if he would take the bride, he
17:24deliberately hesitated for a moment, but he waited too long for my response, as I casually
17:30enjoyed the delicate pastries.
17:32His face turned cold, I didn't know who it was.
17:36But someone suddenly pushed me from behind, I wasn't prepared, and I fell straight into
17:42a nearby champagne tower, the champagne tower, taller than a person, collapsed with a loud
17:49crash, the liquid and shattered glass came pouring down on me, blood trickled down from
17:54my forehead, and through my blurry vision, I seemed to see Alexander anxiously taking two
18:00steps toward me.
18:02But Marjorie rushed out ahead of him, she grabbed me tightly, crying like a picture of sorrow.
18:09Sis, I kindly invited you to my wedding, and you're deliberately causing trouble?
18:16I know you're jealous, that Alex only loves me now.
18:21You can hit me, curse me, whatever, but why destroy my happiness?
18:28Are you so unable to see me happy?
18:32Marjorie was incredibly strong, and her sharp nails dug into my skin, causing an ache that
18:39made my scalp tingle, when I instinctively tried to push her away.
18:44She suddenly screamed and fell backward the next moment.
18:48A huge force pushed me hard damn why high-heeled shoes twisted painfully, and I gasped from the
18:54pain, looking up, I met Alexander's furious gaze.
18:59Are you like glue?
19:00I've already forgotten you, but you still want to cling to me.
19:04I've never seen such a shameless woman.
19:08Apologize to Marjorie.
19:10There were many guests present, most of whom had come in hopes of seeing Arthur Collins today
19:16at T.O. please Alexander.
19:18They began attacking me indiscriminately.
19:21Alex doesn't even remember you, and you're still clinging to him like a dog.
19:26How cheap.
19:27Causing a scene at someone's wedding.
19:30Can't you just let your stepsister be happy?
19:33You're truly malicious.
19:35It's a good thing.
19:36Alex didn't marry a star like you.
19:38Marjorie leaned against Alexander, feigning panic, and pointed at my finger.
19:46Sis, I told you that Uncle Arthur would be here today.
19:51How dare you still wear this fake eternal love ring?
19:55Are you saying you love Alex, but secretly want to seduce my uncle?
20:01As soon as she said this, everyone noticed the ring on my finger.
20:06Someone immediately shouted,
20:08I heard there was a woman who came to Mrs. Carter with a big belly, claiming it was Alex's child.
20:15After Mrs. Carter heard, she took off this eternal love ring for a day.
20:21And the next day, the woman was found in Mexico's gray market, with a collar around her neck.
20:27Her limbs all severed.
20:29Hearing this, Alexander's face immediately darkened.
20:33Marjorie pretended to be concerned.
20:35Alex, with so many people watching, before uncle finds out, sis's hands can't be left unharmed.
20:45Alexander paused for two seconds before picking up a silver dinner knife from the table.
20:51I took two steps back, but his friends surrounded me on all sides.
20:56Alexander Carter, if you dare to touch me, Arthur Collins won't let you off.
21:03Sis, don't be stubborn now.
21:06You have no idea what uncle can do.
21:10Once he comes to deal with you, it won't just be your hands.
21:15Alex only wants your hands, cause you were once his fiance.
21:21Alexander approached me, a fleeting moment of hesitation in his eyes.
21:26I'll go easy on you.
21:27They forcibly held my hands down, and despair washed over me.
21:32I screamed in anger, my face deathly pale.
21:36Let go!
21:37My husband is Arthur Collins.
21:40Everyone looked at me as if I were mad.
21:43Alexander crouched down.
21:44I know you love me too much, T.
21:47That's why you're trying to get my attention in this way.
21:50But don't say crazy things like that again.
21:53If you lose your hands, I won't mind.
21:57As the words left his lips, his hand swung the knife down.
22:00The ring, along with my ring finger, was cut off.
22:04I felt my vision blur from the excruciating pain.
22:07Nearly passing out, Marjorie quickly picked up the severed finger and threw it out the window.
22:12When she turned around, I caught a glimpse of her triumphant, sinister smile through my pain-filled vision.
22:19Alex, that's enough.
22:20Be careful not to lose control, eh?
22:23Do you regain your memory?
22:25A friend couldn't help but quietly advise.
22:28Marjorie immediately interrupted.
22:30Alex, uncle will be here soon.
22:33Do you really want to watch your sister get her limbs cut off and be chained like a dog?
22:40Miss Lewis is right.
22:42No hands can be replaced with prosthetics.
22:45But it's better than losing your life.
22:49Alexander's previously wavering expression suddenly firmed up.
22:52Looking at me trembling and curled on the floor, he gritted his teeth.
22:57Elizabeth, I'm doing this for your own good.
23:00I'll make it up to you later.
23:01The pain was unbearable, and tears of despair slid down my face, just as the silvery knife was about to
23:08fall again.
23:09The door to the banquet hall suddenly burst open.
23:12Arthur Collins entered with a group of bodyguards surrounding him.
23:16He was holding a delicate little girl in his arms and eagerly looking around the banquet hall, as if searching
23:22for something.
23:23Daddy, put me down.
23:25I want to find Mommy.
23:27She said she'd come today.
23:29The normally cold man crouched down and gently placed her on the ground, smiling as he ruffled her little head.
23:36The bodyguards behind them immediately stood guard near the girl.
23:40Everyone in the room quickly realized that the little girl in front of them was the much-discussed precious daughter
23:46that Arthur had hidden for four years, from what the girl said.
23:50It seemed that Mrs. Carter was also here today.
23:53People with a keen sense of things already began making phone calls to prepare gifts.
23:59Everyone knew that Mrs. Carter was Arthur's Achilles heel.
24:02If you could make her smile, there was no deal on Wall Street that couldn't be closed.
24:07Marjorie pushed her way through the crowd, grabbed a handful of candies from the table, and sweetly offered them to
24:14the little girl.
24:15Hey, sweetie, you're so cute.
24:18Annie likes you so much.
24:20Please have some candy.
24:22The little girl frowned, glanced at her, and immediately pouted.
24:27Mommy said not to take anything from strangers.
24:31And you're smiling like someone who kidnaps kids.
24:36I don't like you.
24:37Marjorie was publicly embarrassed.
24:39She was furious but couldn't show it, forcing a smile and almost saying something when Alexander pulled her aside that
24:46he looked at Arthur,
24:47instinctively speaking with respect.
24:50Uncle, you're here.
24:52Lily's here.
24:53But where's aunt?
24:54She came early.
24:56What?
24:56Haven't you seen her?
24:58Alexander was stunned.
25:00What did he mean by, haven't seen her?
25:02It sounded as if he knew this aunt personally.
25:05Before he could process this, the little girl's clear voice rang out.
25:09Mommy said when she left home that she was coming to an old friend's wedding.
25:15Don't you recognize your own old friend?
25:18I'm better at remembering things than you.
25:22I could tell from the family photo.
25:25You're that cousin who died and came back to life.
25:29Alexander's face turned bright red with embarrassment.
25:34You're not dead, so why did you wait five years to say you're alive?
25:39You're a grown man yet you can't even be as honest as Lily.
25:44Lily, five years of lying.
25:47Aren't you ashamed?
25:48Aren't you getting married today?
25:50Can you help me find where my mommy is?
25:53Before Alexander could respond, Marjorie quickly interjected.
25:59Sweetie, we haven't seen your mommy.
26:01But we do have a bad woman here.
26:05Pretending to be her.
26:07She's not just pretending to be your mommy.
26:11She's also pretending to wear a wedding ring.
26:14That looks like your mommy's.
26:17Trying to seduce your daddy.
26:19As soon as she said this, Arthur's expression darkened.
26:25Seeing him get angry, Marjorie grew bolder.
26:28Uncle, you don't know.
26:30How disgusting this woman is.
26:33A few days ago, she wore the same fake wedding ring.
26:38You gave to Auntie, and I even warned her.
26:43You only love Auntie, but she still claimed her husband is you.
26:48How shameless can she be?
26:51Alexander furrowed his brows, and hearing Marjorie's words, he felt that something was off.
26:58And even more so, that she was meddling too much.
27:03He reached out to pull her away, but Arthur smiled, his voice cold enough to send a chill down your
27:12spine.
27:12Tell me, who is this shameless woman?
27:15She's Alex's former fiancé.
27:18My sister Elizabeth King.
27:20As those words fell, the people standing behind Arthur immediately turned pale.
27:28But Marjorie didn't notice the shift, and continued her self-satisfied rant.
27:34Alex has amnesia now, and only loves me.
27:38She's come to our wedding to stir trouble.
27:41She says she only loves Alex.
27:44But she's wearing a fake wedding ring.
27:47That looks just like yours.
27:49And Auntie's dot isn't it obvious.
27:52She's trying to seduce you?
27:55She's a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
27:57Although she's my sister, I've always known she's promiscuous, malicious, and full of jealousy.
28:06She used to bully me at home, but I endured it.
28:11But now she's pretending to.
28:14Be your beloved aunt.
28:16And I just can't take it anymore.
28:19Don't worry.
28:20We've already cut off her finger with.
28:23The fake ring for you.
28:25I threw the finger out the window.
28:28So no one will ever find it.
28:31If you're still not satisfied, feel free to beat her, kill her.
28:37Don't worry about sparing.
28:39This niece-in-law of yours.
28:42You're nothing.
28:43How dare you think?
28:45Mr. Collins would spare you any face.
28:48Arthur's assistant immediately stepped in front of him,
28:52quickly having someone take Lily.
28:55Out of the room.
28:57Arthur's face darkened further.
28:59Andy Marjorie, thinking it was.
29:02Because I angered him.
29:04Tried to add fuel to the fire.
29:07Finally realizing something was wrong.
29:10Alexander quickly stopped her.
29:13His voice dark and full of rage.
29:16Shut up.
29:16The first to arrive was Auntie.
29:18But everyone here was someone.
29:21He had personally invited.
29:24The only exception was me.
29:26And Lily, with a face.
29:29That looked almost identical to mine.
29:32A wild, yet undeniable.
29:35Suspicion began to form in my mind.
29:38Alexander felt a crushing.
29:40Invisible force tugging at his chest.
29:44Growing heavier and heavier.
29:46No, this can't be.
29:48Get someone right now.
29:50Arthur rubbed his forehead.
29:52His expression growing.
29:54Darker by the second.
29:57Lily though small was very sharp.
29:59She had heard what was said earlier.
30:02And after understanding the situation.
30:05She began to cry fearfully.
30:08Mommy I want mommy.
30:10Arthur crouched down and held her tightly.
30:13And he can't find mommy right now.
30:16Let me calm the child down first.
30:19I'm good with kids.
30:21Marjorie stretched out her hand.
30:23But Lily with her eyes red.
30:26From crying shouted.
30:28Go away.
30:29You bad woman.
30:30You insulted my mommy.
30:32And you cut her finger.
30:34I'm going to call the police.
30:36To arrest you.
30:37With those few simple words.
30:40Everyone in the room froze.
30:42They all looked at Lily in disbelief.
30:46Marjorie had only insulted.
30:48One person.
30:50And the finger.
30:51That was cut off.
30:53Belonged to only one person.
30:55Almost simultaneously the guests in the room.
30:58Moved back several meters.
31:00Making sure to.
31:02Keep their distance from Marjorie as.
31:04If they feared being associated with her.
31:08Marjorie stood there her eyes wide with.
31:11Shock her face visibly turning pale.
31:14The assistant pushed through the crowd.
31:17Boss madam is here.
31:19I was left in the corner disoriented.
31:22With blood pooling around me.
31:25Because my wound hadn't been bandaged.
31:27Arthur crouched down his fingertips.
31:30Hovering over my deathly pale face.
31:32For a few seconds not daring to touch me.
31:36The assistant carefully spoke up.
31:39Boss I've called 911.
31:41And we've sent someone to.
31:43Find the finger.
31:44Arthur nodded then took off.
31:46His custom suit.
31:48And carefully draped it over me.
31:51When he looked up his face.
31:53Was filled with cold rage.
31:56Very well.
31:57You dare to cut.
31:58My wife's finger.
32:00Despite his calm expression.
32:03The temperature in the banquet.
32:05Hall seemed to drop by several degrees.
32:09Alexander's face turned pale.
32:11His eyes filled.
32:12With disbelief and a breakdown.
32:15He couldn't accept.
32:17Uncle you're lying right?
32:18Elizabeth can't be Annie.
32:21It must be fake.
32:22What did she promise you?
32:24That made you willing to play.
32:26Along with this act?
32:27The assistant couldn't watch any longer.
32:30Young master Alex do you think.
32:32Anyone could make Arthur Collins act.
32:35Stop deceiving yourself.
32:37Our madam is the woman.
32:39Standing in front of you.
32:40With her finger cut off.
32:42Instead of worrying about madam's.
32:45Identity you should be worrying about yourself.
32:47You've hurt madam like this now.
32:50Think about how to handle the aftermath.
32:52Marjorie saw how Arthur cherished me.
32:55And the jealousy in her heart exploded like poison spilling.
33:00Uncontrollably as she spat out.
33:03Defamatory words without thinking.
33:05Uncle, don't be fooled by this bitch Elizabeth.
33:09You don't know?
33:11She's the best at pretending to be pitiful.
33:14Don't be deceived by her pure appearance.
33:17Deep down she's malicious and promiscuous.
33:21Back when she lived at home.
33:24She often brought different men back.
33:27Filthy.
33:28Before she could finish a slap.
33:31Landed hard on her face.
33:34Shut your mouth.
33:35Alexander's eyes were.
33:37Bloodshot with rage.
33:39Liz is not like that.
33:41It's you you slut who's jealous of her.
33:43And has been slandering her.
33:45It was as though Alexander had.
33:49Suddenly snapped back to reality.
33:51His eyes scanned the crowd.
33:54And he saw the person who had been stirring up trouble.
33:58In the crowd now trying to sneak away.
34:01He grabbed a wine bottle.
34:03And smashed it over the person's head.
34:06Facing the maddened Alexander.
34:09The person didn't even care about the blood.
34:12Dripping from their head and kneeled.
34:14On the floor begging for mercy.
34:17Alex it's not my fault.
34:19It's Marjorie who made me say all this.
34:22She just wanted to create panic.
34:24And attack Elizabeth.
34:26She gave me $100,000.
34:29I swear.
34:30I didn't have anything to do.
34:32With it.
34:33You're talking nonsense.
34:35I don't even know you.
34:37As the truth came to light.
34:40Marjorie.
34:42Frantic.
34:43Tried to distance herself.
34:46From the situation.
34:48But the guilty.
34:50Nervous look in her eyes had.
34:52Already betrayed her.
34:54The person crawled and.
34:56Nelt in front of Arthur.
34:59Bowing repeatedly.
35:00Mr. Collins.
35:02I was wrong.
35:03I was really wrong.
35:05Please forgive me.
35:06I don't want the $100,000.
35:09I had nothing to do with this.
35:11It was all Marjorie's idea.
35:13She spread the rumors.
35:15The finger of your wife was cut by Alex.
35:18Everyone saw it.
35:20Arthur sneered.
35:21So if she wasn't my wife.
35:23It would have been fine to kill her.
35:25No.
35:26No.
35:27No.
35:27I didn't mean that.
35:29Arthur.
35:30Clearly too angry to listen further.
35:33Lifted his head.
35:35And several bodyguards immediately.
35:38Covered his mouth.
35:40Dragging the man out by force.
35:42The assistant quickly walked up.
35:45Holding the recovered finger.
35:47Boss.
35:48We found the finger.
35:49And the ambulance is outside.
35:52Only then did Arthur lift.
35:54The unconscious me.
35:56Scanning the banquet hall.
35:58As though it was filled with corpses.
36:01He turned to the assistant and spoke coldly.
36:04You stay and handle this.
36:06Let everyone know the cost of touching my wife's finger.
36:09The doors to the banquet.
36:11Hall slammed shut.
36:13And a line of towering.
36:16Bodyguards formed a barrier.
36:17No one who came in today.
36:20Would leave unharmed.
36:22When I next woke up.
36:24There was a loud argument.
36:26Outside the door.
36:29Then.
36:29The door to the hospital room.
36:32Was forcefully pushed open.
36:35Alexander.
36:36Still in his wedding suit.
36:38Dirty and disheveled.
36:41Rushed in.
36:41He held a silver cross pendant.
36:44Which seemed to have been pieced back.
36:47Together.
36:48And gazed at me with deep affection.
36:51Liz.
36:52I regain my memory.
36:54I remember everything now.
36:56I'm so sorry.
36:58It's all my fault.
36:59I made you suffer so much.
37:01Don't worry.
37:02I'm back.
37:04And I'll never leave you again.
37:05My calm gaze lingered on his face.
37:09For a moment.
37:10Before falling to the silver.
37:13Cross in his hand.
37:15That cross had been with him.
37:17On the day of the accident.
37:20Five years ago.
37:21When he was on the brink of death.
37:24In the blizzard.
37:25Despite my own severe injuries.
37:28I knelt outside the church.
37:31For three days and nights.
37:33Praying for just a sliver.
37:36Of hope for him.
37:38I clutched that cross.
37:40Fainting in the snow.
37:42Teetering on the edge of death.
37:44But he died.
37:46And the cross had become a joke.
37:48Crushed in a video.
37:50He'd managed to retrieve it.
37:53Even repairing it.
37:55Silver can be mended.
37:57But feelings that are shattered.
37:59They can't be fixed.
38:01Alexander.
38:03Stop pretending.
38:04I know you didn't lose your memory.
38:07I knew five years ago.
38:09The day you faked your.
38:11Death in the car crash.
38:14Alexander froze.
38:15His gaze shifting from deep affection.
38:19To panic as he hurried to grab my hand.
38:22But when he saw the finger.
38:24I had just reattached.
38:26His motion froze that he tugged.
38:29At his hair in helplessness.
38:32Then broke down.
38:34Asking frantically.
38:36So.
38:37You did all this just to get back at me?
38:39To make me believe you married uncle?
38:41Just to punish me?
38:43I'm not you.
38:44I looked directly into his eyes.
38:47I've fallen in love with him.
38:49Alexander almost fled in a panic.
38:52I thought I had made myself clear.
38:55But a week after being discharged.
38:58I saw him again.
39:00At the hospital entrance.
39:02It seemed like he had been waiting for.
39:05A long time.
39:07When he saw me.
39:09He rushed toward me excitedly.
39:11But before he could touch the hem of my dress.
39:15Arthur kicked him out.
39:16He stumbled to his feet.
39:19His fiery gaze fixed on Arthur.
39:21You despicable man.
39:24You were the one.
39:25Who sent Liz that video?
39:27You did this on purpose.
39:29He screamed in rage.
39:31Liz.
39:32Arthur doesn't really love you.
39:34He's been scheming against you.
39:36He's deceived you.
39:38I furrowed my brows slightly.
39:40As I walked toward him.
39:42And just as hope rose in his eyes.
39:45I slapped him hard across the face.
39:48Does it matter who sent the video?
39:50Wasn't your faked death real?
39:53Didn't you fake amnesia?
39:56Didn't you mess around with Marjorie?
39:58Didn't you cut off my finger?
40:01Alexander.
40:02I'll say it one more time.
40:05We ended five years ago.
40:07The man I love now is Arthur.
40:10And the man I will love in the future.
40:13Will always be him.
40:15From now on.
40:17I'm your aunt.
40:18So watch your words.
40:21And don't make a fool of the...
40:23Carter family.
40:24With that.
40:26I turned away.
40:28Not looking at him again.
40:30I grasped Arthur's tightening hand.
40:33Giving it a comforting squeeze.
40:35The tension in his jaw immediately eased.
40:39The next news I heard about Alexander came.
40:43Two months later.
40:45He was paralyzed.
40:47Doomed to live the rest of his life.
40:49In a wheelchair.
40:50To prove his love to God.
40:54He tried to recreate my actions from years ago.
40:57He attempted to climb a treacherous peak in Colorado during a snowstorm.
41:03Just like I had once done to pray for him.
41:07He made it up.
41:08But when it was time to come down.
41:10His legs gave way.
41:12And he tumbled down the cliff.
41:15The forest was silent.
41:17And by the time he was found.
41:20It was too late for proper treatment.
41:23I heard that.
41:24On the way to the hospital.
41:27His hand was still clutching the cross.
41:30And he mumbled.
41:32My Liz is waiting for me.
41:33We promised we'd never be apart.
41:36I didn't think much of it.
41:38Nor did I have the time to care.
41:41Because I was busy taking.
41:44Family photos.
41:45As Arthur wrapped his arm around.
41:48My waist for the picture.
41:51He said with a teasing tone.
41:53Feeling heartbroken.
41:55I chuckled.
41:56I'm more heartbroken for someone.
41:59Who's been in love for seven years.
42:02But too afraid to say it.
42:04He turned his head awkwardly.
42:06But his arms tightened around me.
42:09Our daughter.
42:11Seeing the moment.
42:13Squeezed in.
42:14Daddy.
42:15Mommy.
42:16Lily wants a kiss and a hug too.
42:18Arthur smiled.
42:20Holding one of us in each arm.
42:22The photo turned out so well.
42:25That the photographer wanted us to keep.
42:28One as a signature shot.
42:31Arthur.
42:32Who usually valued his privacy.
42:35Agreed for the first time.
42:37On the way back.
42:38I looked out the car window.
42:41And saw Marjorie.
42:43Her limbs severed.
42:45Curled up in a corner of an alley.
42:48Being beaten by a group of.
42:50Homeless men.
42:52She was muttering deliriously.
42:54I'm Mrs. Carter.
42:56You're all trash.
42:58You're not even worthy of.
43:01Shining my shoes.
43:02I covered our daughter's ears.
43:05And the man beside me stretched.
43:08Out his hand to cover mine.
43:10I glanced at his reddened ear tips.
43:13And couldn't help but remember.
43:16That diary I had accidentally discovered.
43:19I fell in love with a girl.
43:22She was Alexander's fiance.
43:25Alexander cheated.
43:27Faked his death.
43:29And pretended to have amnesia to buy more time.
43:33I know.
43:34My chance has come.
