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.
00:51Her cheeks flushed as, she playfully scolded.
00:55Oh my god. I surrender. You're going to suffocate me. You're such an animal. I'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? Funny. That's not what you were saying last night, when you were begging
01:17me to.
01:18The party erupted in even louder cheers. Everyone making increasingly risque jokes.
01:25Marjorie pretended to cover his mouth, but melted against him like she had. No bones left in her body.
01:34Someone called out teasingly.
01:36Alex. It's been five years. Aren'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? Of course I'll handle it. I'm just not done playing yet. Once Marjorie and I tie the knot,
02:00I'll naturally recover my memory and rise from the dead.
02:04Who doesn't know? That woman loved Alex with no dignity. Like a crazy stalker? If she finds out Alex is
02:13alive, she'll probably do the same thing.
02:16She did five years ago. Kneel at the church door in a snowstorm. Praying to God for Alex's safety. Ha
02:25ha ha. Just thinking about Elizabeth's desperate face. Cracks me up.
02:31She's been a doormat for five years. And without Alex. She's practically a walking corpse.
02:39The entire room erupted in laughter. Nearly shaking the roof. I wanted to leave. But someone with sharp eyes saw
02:48me.
02:49Hey. Isn't that Elizabeth?
02:52Timothy. Alexander's good friend. Who had laughed the loudest. Awkwardly tried to explain.
03:01Ah. Elizabeth. Alex is alive. We didn't tell you. Because he lost his memory.
03:08And there's another woman now. We didn't want to hurt you. Yeah, exactly. We all know that deep down. Alex's
03:17true love is you. But he's forgotten. Even if you make a scene now. He'll just think you're crazy.
03:25Before I could respond. Alexander let out a mocking laugh.
03:30I heard you the fiancé. Who loves me to death?
03:33He glanced disdainfully. At my minimalist outfit. Clearly disgusted.
03:40Without me. How could you look like this? Do you really think you can't live? Without me.
03:46Alexander was still the same Alexander. Arrogant and insufferable. Five years apart.
03:54Seeing the secret satisfaction in his eyes. I no longer felt the heart pounding. Attraction I once did. Only disgust
04:04remained. I had just gotten off the plane. And hadn't adjusted to the time difference. I came to this hotel
04:13just.
04:13Because their kitchen. Because their kitchen. Had my daughter's favorite strawberry mousse. Seeing that I wasn't speaking. Alexander lazily wrapped
04:24his arm around Marjorie and. In front of me. Gave her a brief yet passionate French kiss.
04:30When they pulled apart. Their lips were still tinged with. Lingering affection.
04:38Oh. You're so annoying. My sister's watching. Marjorie feigned shyness. I pressed my lips together. Feeling a wave of physical
04:50discomfort. Alexander misunderstood. My expression and grinned.
04:56What's there to be afraid of. You're gonna be my mistress. If she wants to stay with me. She'll have
05:02to. Get used to this threesome.
05:05He raised an eyebrow at me. In gratitude. For your five years of waiting. I can keep you in an
05:11apartment on the Upper East Side. On Mondays.
05:15Wednesdays. Wednesdays. Wednesdays. And Fridays. I'll be with Marjorie. And on Tuesdays. Thursdays. And Saturdays. I'll come see you. As
05:26for Sundays. You'll serve us.
05:29A group of people immediately chimed in.
05:32Elizabeth. See. Even though Alex lost his memory. He still loves you. He left you three days a week.
05:40Yeah. Exactly. Without Alex for five years. Look at what a wreck you've become. You must have been washing dishes
05:50overseas. Right? Just accept it. 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. I didn't want this either. But Alex only loves me now. You'll just have to be his hidden mistress.
06:18Being a mistress isn't bad. Is it? She wouldn't survive without me. If I told her to die. She'd do
06:27it without hesitation.
06:29Alexander confidently added. My heart seemed to be pricked. By something lightly 0.5 years ago.
06:37In that car accident. He had shielded me. Using his body as a human shield. Just before he closed his
06:47eyes.
06:48He held my trembling hand and weakly comforted me.
06:52Don't be afraid. Honey. I'm tough. I won't die. I promised you. I'll be your guardian angel forever. No one
07:01can hurt you.
07:01Could someone who loved me so much. Really become so unrecognizable. Because of amnesia. Pushing down the bitterness in my
07:12heart.
07:13I took a deep breath and smiled faintly.
07:16Excuse me. You'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. And then the room erupted. In mocking laughter. Alexander raised an eyebrow. Indifferent.
07:35Married? To a janitor or a homeless man?
07:39Elizabeth. Don't tell me you think. This pathetic excuse is gonna make me jealous. Are you out of your mind?
07:47He grabbed my wrist and. Without waiting for a response. Violently yanked the ring off my finger.
07:56I 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. Bought at Sotheby's for 200 million dollars five years ago?
08:10Is she trying to say she married. Uncle Arthur and became your aunt?
08:17At this. Everyone laughed even harder. It is well known that the current head of.
08:23The Carter family is Alexander's uncle. Arthur Carter. Although he is only five years older.
08:31Than Alexander. He is a formidable Wall Street tycoon.
08:36Whose name commands respect. Not only is he handsome and wealthy.
08:41But he also treasures his wife above all else.
08:45They've been married for five years. And no one has even seen his wife and daughter.
08:52As they are kept 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?
09:03Someone holding the ring teased.
09:05Don't say it. This ring looks pretty real. Must have cost a lot.
09:11Huh. Elizabeth really went all out to fool Alex.
09:15Facing all the doubts and mockery. I helplessly explained.
09:20This isn't a replica. This ring is real.
09:32Are you out of your mind? Why drag my uncle into this? Everyone knows. My uncle treasures his wife.
09:41Above all else. Do you really think he'd want you? Someone even I don't want? Someone second-hand trash?
09:48I can't stand women like you. Who lied just to make me jealous.
09:53I must have been blind to have ever been interested in someone like you.
09:58I covered my face and slowly turned my head. Maybe my gaze was too calm. But Alexander suddenly looked guilty.
10:07And turned his face away. Marjorie. However.
10:13Wasn't letting me go.
10:14Sis. Alex may have lost his memory. But he's still willing to. Have you as his mistress.
10:23You should be grateful. Not try to harm him.
10:28You know. Uncle Arthur loves his wife. More than anything. How dare you pretend to. Be Alex's aunt? Aren't you
10:39just causing trouble for him? You're so selfish and wicked.
10:44Marjorie was my stepfather's daughter. Seven days after my father's funeral. My mother had forced me to accept this stepsister.
10:54Who was a year younger than me. She was like a ghost. Unable to tolerate any happiness. I had around
11:04me.
11:04She took whatever she could from me. And what she couldn't take. She destroyed.
11:11Five years ago. Alexander had stood like a hero in front of me. Angrily scolding Marjorie.
11:19Now. The person in front of me. Was still the same. But now he stood in front of Marjorie.
11:28Disdainfully throwing a stack of cash. From his wallet.
11:32Isn't all of this for money? Pick it up.
11:35The sharp edges of the bills scraped. Across my forehead. A tiny bead of blood appeared.
11:42But I didn't wipe it off. I noticed a subtle flicker of. Unease in Alexander's eyes.
11:50The next second. I bent down to pick up the ring. He sighed with relief and mocked.
11:57This is more like it. If you're gonna be a dog. You might as well act like one.
12:03I 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.
12:17Before I left. He suddenly grabbed my hand.
12:21Are you addicted to acting? Isn't the money here enough? To buy you a fake ring?
12:27I didn't understand. Why he suddenly panicked.
12:32Let go of me. He glared at me through clenched teeth.
12:35You really won't cry until. You see the coffin. Huh. Alright. Marjorie and I are getting married in a week.
12:45And my uncle will be back. From Europe that day. You should come too.
12:50So my uncle can see for himself. How shameless you are. This piece of trash I tossed aside.
12:58When Marjorie heard. About the wedding. The joy on her face. Couldn't be hidden.
13:06Sis. Don't tell me you're too scared to come. Because you're afraid we'll expose you.
13:13I carefully placed the ring into my bag. And replied indifferently.
13:18All right. I'll come dot. I hope you won't regret it.
13:23I stopped for a few minutes at the door after leaving the private room.
13:27Timothy sighed.
13:29Alex. Are you sure? This isn't going to backfire.
13:33I don't know. But Elizabeth seems off. Could she have really gotten married?
13:39Impossible.
13:40Alexander's voice was certain.
13:42She's just acting. Look at her pitiful face. She's still mine. All 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. After the wedding. I'll regain my memory. Then I'll tell her I love her the most.
14:04And she'll come crawling back to me. Like a dog. Wagging her tail.
14:09Alex. You're truly the master of love. With just one memory loss.
14:15You've lived freely for five years. And made Elizabeth wait for you.
14:21Without complaint.
14:22Marjorie pouted.
14:24Alex. What am I going to do? Once you regain your memory?
14:29Alexander pinched her waist.
14:31Same as before. And besides. Isn't cheating even more thrilling?
14:37I silently listened. My heart is cold as ice.
14:41I quickly walked toward the hotel exit. Taking a few deep breaths of the cold air to suppress the nausea
14:47in my chest.
14:49What Alexander didn't know was that five years ago.
14:52The night he died in that car accident. I received a video.
14:56I opened my phone. In 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.
15:12Makes me feel completely drained.
15:15I'll fake my death and. Go play for a few years.
15:19Then come back and say I've lost my memory.
15:22Make sure you record plenty of videos.
15:25Of her suffering.
15:26I can't wait to see.
15:28How heartbroken she'll be.
15:30On the day the doctor declared him dead.
15:33I did exactly as he wished.
15:35That kind of soul crushing despair left me unable to even cry.
15:40I thought about ending it all.
15:42But his friends desperately stopped me.
15:44I never realized that.
15:46Hidden in the shadows.
15:48A phone recorded my pain.
15:50I didn't see through their fake mourning.
15:53Their barely suppressed laughter.
15:55I put my phone away.
15:56From that day on.
15:58Alexander was dead.
16:00But in my heart.
16:02He was truly gone.
16:03The news of Alexander being alive.
16:06Was revealed along with his wedding announcement.
16:08Causing a huge stir.
16:10That evening.
16:11Marjorie updated her Instagram.
16:14A romantic wedding scene.
16:16A Vera Wong Haute couture wedding dress.
16:19The eternal love.
16:21Diamond ring.
16:22All of it was what Alexander had carefully prepared for me back then.
16:27In the photos.
16:28They were holding hands tightly.
16:30With captions full of sweet.
16:32Loving words.
16:33I was about to exit the app.
16:35When Alexander's text popped up.
16:37Are you going crazy?
16:39With jealousy yet?
16:40Without a second thought.
16:42I blocked and deleted him.
16:44Marjorie's message appeared immediately after.
16:47You must have seen it by now.
16:50You're just a dog we play with.
16:53Only I deserve to be Mrs. Carter.
16:55I gave her the same treatment.
16:58A week later.
17:00The wedding was held as scheduled at the St. Regis Hotel.
17:03Because my daughter Lily was being clingy.
17:06By the time I arrived at the hotel.
17:08The ceremony had already reached the exchange of rings.
17:12Alexander.
17:13Who kept glancing toward the door.
17:16Visibly relaxed when he saw me enter.
17:18He curved his lips into a smile.
17:21And when the pastor asked if he would take the bride.
17:25He deliberately hesitated for a moment.
17:27But he waited too long for my response.
17:29As I casually enjoyed the delicate pastries.
17:33His face turned cold.
17:35I didn't know who it was.
17:36But someone suddenly pushed me from behind.
17:39I wasn't prepared.
17:40And I fell straight into a nearby champagne tower.
17:44The champagne tower.
17:46Taller than a person.
17:48Collapsed with a loud crash.
17:50The liquid and shattered glass came pouring down on me.
17:53Blood trickled down from my forehead.
17:55And through my blurry vision.
17:58I seemed to see Alexander anxiously taking two steps toward me.
18:02But Marjorie rushed out ahead of him.
18:05She grabbed me tightly.
18:07Crying like a picture of sorrow.
18:09Sis.
18:10I kindly invited you to my wedding.
18:13And you're deliberately causing trouble.
18:17I know you're jealous.
18:19That Alex only loves me now.
18:22You can hit me.
18:24Curse me.
18:25Whatever.
18:26But why destroy my happiness?
18:29Are you so unable to see me happy?
18:33Marjorie was incredibly strong.
18:35And her sharp nails dug into my skin.
18:39Causing an ache that made my scalp tingle.
18:41When I instinctively tried to push her away.
18:44She suddenly screamed and fell backward.
18:47The next moment.
18:48A huge force pushed me hard.
18:51Damn why high-heeled shoes twisted painfully.
18:53And I gasped from the pain.
18:55Looking up.
18:56I met Alexander's furious gaze.
18:59Are you like glue?
19:01I've already forgotten you.
19:02But you still want to cling to me.
19:04I've never seen such a shameless woman.
19:08Apologize to Marjorie.
19:11There were many guests present.
19:13Most of whom had come in hopes of seeing Arthur Collins today at T.O.
19:17Please Alexander.
19:19They began attacking me indiscriminately.
19:21Alex doesn't even remember you.
19:24And you're still clinging to him like a dog.
19:27How cheap.
19:28Causing a scene at.
19:30Someone's wedding.
19:31Can't you just let your stepsister be happy?
19:33You're truly malicious.
19:36It's a good thing.
19:37Alex didn't marry a star like you.
19:39Marjorie leaned against Alexander.
19:43Feigning panic.
19:44And pointed at my finger.
19:47Sis.
19:48I told you that Uncle Arthur.
19:50Would be here today.
19:52How dare you still wear this fake eternal love ring.
19:56Are you saying you love Alex.
19:59But secretly want to seduce my uncle?
20:02As soon as she said this.
20:05Everyone noticed the ring on my finger.
20:07Someone immediately shouted.
20:09I heard there was a woman.
20:11Who came to Mrs. Carter with a big belly.
20:14Claiming it was Alex's child.
20:16After Mrs. Carter heard.
20:18She took off this eternal love ring for a day.
20:22And the next day.
20:23The woman was found in Mexico's grey market.
20:26With a collar around her neck.
20:28Her limbs all severed.
20:30Hearing this.
20:32Alexander's face immediately darkened.
20:34Marjorie pretended to be concerned.
20:36Alex.
20:37With so many people watching.
20:40Before uncle finds out.
20:43Sis's hands can't be left unharmed.
20:46Alexander paused for two seconds.
20:49Before picking up a silver dinner knife from the table.
20:52I took two steps back.
20:54But his friends surrounded me on all sides.
20:57Alexander Carter.
20:58If you dare to touch me.
21:01Arthur Collins won't let you off.
21:04Sis.
21:05Don't be stubborn now.
21:07You have no idea what uncle can do.
21:11Once he comes to deal with you.
21:13It won't just be your hands.
21:16Alex only wants your hands.
21:18Cause you were once his fiance.
21:21Alexander approached me.
21:24A fleeting moment of hesitation in his eyes.
21:27I'll go easy on you.
21:29They forcibly held my hands down.
21:31And despair washed over me.
21:33I screamed in anger.
21:35My face deathly pale.
21:37Let go.
21:38My husband is Arthur Collins.
21:41Everyone looked at me as if I were mad.
21:44Alexander crouched down.
21:46I know you love me too much tea.
21:48That's why you're trying to get my attention in this way.
21:51But don't say crazy things like that again.
21:54If you lose your hands.
21:56I won't mind.
21:57As the words left his lips.
21:59His hand swung the knife down.
22:01The ring.
22:02Along with my ring finger.
22:04Was cut off.
22:05I felt my vision blur from the excruciating pain.
22:08Nearly passing out.
22:09Marjorie quickly picked up the severed finger.
22:12And threw it out the window.
22:13When she turned around.
22:15I caught a glimpse of her triumphant.
22:17Sinister smile through my pain filled vision.
22:20Alex that's enough.
22:21Be careful not to lose control eh.
22:24Do you regain your memory.
22:26A friend couldn't help but quietly advise.
22:29Marjorie immediately interrupted.
22:31Alex uncle will be here soon.
22:34Do you really want to watch your.
22:36Sister get her limbs cut off.
22:39And be chained like a dog.
22:41Miss Lewis is right.
22:43No hands can be replaced with prosthetics.
22:46But it's better than losing your life.
22:49Alexander's previously wavering expression suddenly firmed up.
22:53Looking at me trembling and curled on the floor.
22:56He gritted his teeth.
22:58Elizabeth.
22:59I'm doing this for your own good.
23:01I'll make it up to you later.
23:02The pain was unbearable.
23:04And tears of despair slid down my face.
23:07Just as the silvery knife was about to fall again.
23:10The door to the banquet hall suddenly burst open.
23:13Arthur Collins entered with a group of bodyguards surrounding him.
23:17He was holding a delicate little girl in his arms and eagerly looking around the banquet hall.
23:22As if searching for something.
23:24Daddy.
23:25Put me down.
23:26I want to find mommy.
23:28She said she'd come today.
23:30The normally cold man crouched down and gently placed her on the ground.
23:34Smiling as he ruffled her little head.
23:37The bodyguards behind them immediately stood guard near the girl.
23:41Everyone in the room quickly realized that the little girl in front of.
23:44Them was the much discussed precious daughter that Arthur had hidden for four years.
23:50From what the girl said.
23:51It seemed that Mrs. Carter was also here today.
23:54People with a keen sense of things already began making phone calls to prepare gifts.
24:00Everyone knew that Mrs. Carter was Arthur's Achilles heel.
24:03If you could make her smile.
24:05There was no deal on Wall Street that couldn't be closed.
24:08Marjorie pushed her way through the crowd.
24:11Grabbed a handful of candies from the table.
24:13And sweetly offered them to the little girl.
24:16Hey sweetie you're so cute.
24:19And he likes you so much.
24:21Please have some candy.
24:23The little girl frowned.
24:25Glanced at her.
24:26And immediately pouted.
24:28Mommy said not to take anything.
24:31From strangers.
24:32And you're smiling like someone.
24:35Who kidnaps kids.
24:37I don't like you.
24:39Marjorie was publicly embarrassed.
24:41She was furious but couldn't show it.
24:43Forcing a smile and almost saying something when Alexander pulled her aside that he looked at Arthur.
24:49Instinctively speaking with respect.
24:51Uncle you're here.
24:53Lily's here.
24:54But where's aunt?
24:55She came early.
24:57What?
24:57Haven't you seen her?
24:59Alexander was stunned.
25:01What did he mean by haven't seen her?
25:03It sounded as if he knew this aunt personally.
25:06Before he could process this.
25:08The little girl's clear voice rang out.
25:10Mommy said when she left home.
25:13That she was coming to an old friend's wedding.
25:16Don't you recognize?
25:18Your own old friend?
25:19I'm better at remembering things than you.
25:23I could tell from the family photo.
25:26You're that cousin who died and came back to life.
25:30Alexander's face turned bright red with embarrassment.
25:35You're not dead so.
25:36Why did you wait five years to say you're alive?
25:40You're a grown man yet you can't even be as honest as Lily.
25:46Five years of lying.
25:48Aren't you ashamed?
25:49Aren't you getting married today?
25:51Can you help me find where my mommy is?
25:54Before Alexander could respond.
25:57Marjorie quickly interjected.
25:59Sweetie, we haven't seen your mommy.
26:02But we do have a bad woman here.
26:06Pretending to be her.
26:07She's not just pretending to be.
26:10Your mommy.
26:12She's also pretending to wear a wedding ring.
26:15That looks like your mommy's.
26:18Trying to seduce your daddy.
26:20As soon as she said this.
26:23Arthur's expression darkened.
26:25Seeing him get angry.
26:27Marjorie grew bolder.
26:30Uncle, you don't know.
26:31How disgusting this woman is.
26:34A few days ago.
26:36She wore the same fake wedding ring.
26:39You gave to auntie.
26:41And I even warned her.
26:44You only love auntie.
26:46But she still claimed her husband is you.
26:49How shameless can she be?
26:52Alexander furrowed his brows.
26:54And hearing Marjorie's words.
26:57He felt that something was off.
26:59And even more so.
27:01That she was meddling too much.
27:04He reached out to pull her away.
27:07But Arthur smiled.
27:09His voice cold enough to send.
27:12A chill down your spine.
27:14Tell me.
27:14Who is this shameless woman?
27:16She's Alex's former fiance.
27:18My sister Elizabeth King.
27:22As those words fell.
27:24The people standing behind Arthur.
27:27Immediately turned pale.
27:29But Marjorie didn't notice the shift.
27:32And continued her self-satisfied rant.
27:35Alex has amnesia now.
27:37And only loves me.
27:39She's come to our wedding to stir trouble.
27:42She says she only loves Alex.
27:45But she's wearing a fake wedding ring.
27:48That looks just like yours.
27:51And auntie's dot isn't it obvious.
27:53She's trying to seduce you.
27:56She's a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
27:59Although she's my sister.
28:01I've always known she's promiscuous.
28:05Malicious and full of jealousy.
28:07She used to bully me at home.
28:10But I endured it.
28:12But now she's pretending to.
28:15Be your beloved aunt.
28:17And I just can't take it anymore.
28:20Don't worry.
28:21We've already cut off her finger with.
28:24The fake ring for you.
28:27I threw the finger out the window.
28:29So no one will ever find it.
28:32If you're still not satisfied.
28:35Feel free to beat her.
28:37Kill her.
28:38Don't worry about sparing.
28:40This niece-in-law of yours.
28:43You're nothing.
28:44How dare you think.
28:45Mr. Collins would.
28:47Spare you any face.
28:49Arthur's assistant immediately.
28:51Stepped in front of him.
28:54Quickly having someone take Lily.
28:56Out of the room.
28:58Arthur's face darkened further.
29:00Andi Marjorie.
29:01Thinking it was.
29:03Because I angered him.
29:05Tried to add fuel to the fire.
29:08Finally realizing something was wrong.
29:11Alexander quickly stopped her.
29:13His voice dark and full of rage.
29:17Shut up.
29:18The first to arrive was auntie.
29:20But everyone here was someone.
29:22He had personally invited.
29:25The only exception was me.
29:27And Lily.
29:28With a face.
29:30That looked almost identical to mine.
29:33A wild, yet undeniable.
29:36Suspicion began to form in my mind.
29:39Alexander felt a crushing.
29:42Invisible force tugging at his chest.
29:45Growing heavier and heavier.
29:47No.
29:48This can't be.
29:49Get someone right now.
29:51Arthur rubbed his forehead.
29:53His expression growing.
29:55Darker by the second.
29:58Lily though small was very sharp.
30:00She had heard what was said earlier.
30:03And after understanding the situation.
30:06She began to cry fearfully.
30:09Mommy I want mommy.
30:11Arthur crouched down and held her tightly.
30:14Andi can't find mommy right now.
30:17Let me calm the child down first.
30:20I'm good with kids.
30:22Marjorie stretched out her hand.
30:25But Lily with her eyes red.
30:27From crying shouted.
30:29Go away.
30:30You bad woman.
30:32You insulted my mommy.
30:33And you cut her finger.
30:35I'm going to call the police.
30:37To arrest you.
30:39With those few simple words.
30:41Everyone in the room froze.
30:44They all looked at Lily in disbelief.
30:47Marjorie had only insulted.
30:49One person.
30:51And the finger.
30:52That was cut off belonged to only one person.
30:55Almost simultaneously the guests in the room.
30:59Moved back several meters making sure to.
31:03Keep their distance from Marjorie as.
31:06If they feared being associated with her.
31:09Marjorie stood there her eyes wide with.
31:12Shock her face visibly turning pale.
31:16The assistant pushed through the crowd.
31:18Boss madam is here.
31:20I was left in the corner disoriented.
31:22With blood pooling around me.
31:26Because my wound hadn't been bandaged.
31:28Arthur crouched down his fingertips.
31:31Hovering over my deathly pale face.
31:34For a few seconds not daring to touch me.
31:38The assistant carefully spoke up.
31:40Boss I've called 911.
31:42And we've sent someone to.
31:44Find the finger.
31:45Arthur nodded then took off.
31:48His custom suit.
31:50And carefully draped it over me.
31:52When he looked up his face.
31:54Was filled with cold rage.
31:57Very well.
31:58You dare to cut.
32:00My wife's finger.
32:01Despite his calm expression.
32:04The temperature in the banquet.
32:06Hall seemed to drop by several degrees.
32:10Alexander's face turned pale.
32:12His eyes filled.
32:13With disbelief and a breakdown.
32:16He couldn't accept.
32:18Uncle you're lying right?
32:20Elizabeth can't be Annie.
32:22It must be fake.
32:23What did she promise you?
32:25That made you willing to play.
32:27Along with this act?
32:29The assistant couldn't watch any longer.
32:32Young master Alex do you think.
32:34Anyone could make Arthur Collins act.
32:36Stop deceiving yourself.
32:38Our madam is the woman.
32:40Standing in front of you.
32:42With her finger cut off.
32:44Instead of worrying about madam's.
32:46Identity you should be worrying about yourself.
32:49You've hurt madam like this now.
32:51Think about how to handle the aftermath.
32:54Marjorie saw how Arthur cherished me.
32:56And the jealousy in her heart exploded like poison spilling.
33:01Uncontrollably as she spat out.
33:04Defamatory words without thinking.
33:07Uncle don't be fooled by this bitch Elizabeth.
33:10You don't know.
33:12She's the best at pretending to be pitiful.
33:16Don't be deceived by her pure appearance.
33:18Deep down she's malicious and promiscuous.
33:23Back when she lived at home.
33:25She often brought different men back.
33:29Filthy.
33:30Before she could finish a slap.
33:33Landed hard on her face.
33:35Shut your mouth.
33:37Alexander's eyes were.
33:39Bloodshot with rage.
33:41Liz is not like that.
33:42It's you you slut who's jealous of her.
33:45And has been slandering her.
33:47It was as though Alexander had.
33:50Suddenly snapped back to reality.
33:53His eyes scanned the crowd.
33:55And he saw the person who had been stirring up trouble.
33:59In the crowd now trying to sneak away.
34:02He grabbed a wine bottle.
34:04And smashed it over the person's head.
34:07Facing the maddened Alexander.
34:10The person didn't even care about the blood.
34:13Dripping from their head and kneeled.
34:16On the floor begging for mercy.
34:19Alex it's not my fault.
34:21It's Marjorie who made me say all this.
34:24She just wanted to create panic.
34:26And attack Elizabeth.
34:27She gave me $100,000.
34:30I swear.
34:31I didn't have anything to do.
34:33With it.
34:35You're talking nonsense.
34:37I don't even know you.
34:39As the truth came to light.
34:42Marjorie.
34:43Frantic.
34:45Tried to distance herself.
34:47From the situation.
34:49But the guilty.
34:51Nervous look in her eyes had.
34:53Already betrayed her.
34:55The person crawled and.
34:58Nelt in front of Arthur.
35:00Bowing repeatedly.
35:01Mr. Collins.
35:03I was wrong.
35:04I was really wrong.
35:06Please forgive me.
35:08I don't want the $100,000.
35:10I had nothing to do with this.
35:12It was all Marjorie's idea.
35:15She spread the rumors.
35:17The finger of your wife was cut by Alex.
35:20Everyone saw it.
35:21Arthur sneered.
35:22So if she wasn't my wife.
35:24It would have been fine to kill her.
35:27No.
35:27No.
35:28No.
35:29I didn't mean that.
35:30Arthur.
35:31Clearly too angry to listen further.
35:34Lifted his head.
35:36And several bodyguards immediately.
35:39Covered his mouth.
35:41Dragging the man out by force.
35:44The assistant quickly walked up.
35:47Holding the recovered finger.
35:49Boss.
35:49We found the finger.
35:50And the ambulance is outside.
35:53Only then did Arthur lift.
35:55The unconscious me.
35:57Scanning the banquet hall.
35:59As though it was filled with corpses.
36:02He turned to the assistant and spoke coldly.
36:06You stay and handle this.
36:07Let everyone know the cost of touching my wife's finger.
36:10The doors to the banquet.
36:13Hall slammed shut.
36:14And a line of towering.
36:17Bodyguards formed a barrier.
36:19No one who came in today.
36:21Would leave unharmed.
36:24When I next woke up.
36:25There was a loud argument.
36:28Outside the door.
36:30Then.
36:31The door to the hospital room.
36:33Was forcefully pushed open.
36:36Alexander.
36:37Still in his wedding suit.
36:39Dirty and disheveled.
36:42Rushed in.
36:43He held a silver cross pendant.
36:46Which seemed to have been pieced back.
36:48Together.
36:50And gazed at me with deep affection.
36:53Liz.
36:53I regain my memory.
36:55I remember everything now.
36:58I'm so sorry.
36:59It's all my fault.
37:00I made you suffer so much.
37:03Don't worry.
37:04I'm back.
37:05And I'll never leave you again.
37:07My calm gaze lingered on his face.
37:10For a moment.
37:12Before falling to the silver.
37:14Cross in his hand.
37:16That cross had been with him.
37:19On the day of the accident.
37:21Five years ago.
37:23When he was on the brink of death.
37:25In the blizzard.
37:27Despite my own severe injuries.
37:29I knelt outside the church.
37:32For three days and nights.
37:35Praying for just a sliver.
37:37Of hope for him.
37:39I clutched that cross.
37:41Fainting in the snow.
37:43Teetering on the edge of death.
37:45But he died.
37:47And the cross had become a joke.
37:50Crushed in a video.
37:52He'd managed to retrieve it.
37:54Even repairing it.
37:56Silver can be mended.
37:58But feelings that are shattered.
38:00They can't be fixed.
38:02Alexander.
38:04Stop pretending.
38:06I know you didn't lose your memory.
38:09I knew five years ago.
38:11The day you faked your.
38:13Death in the car crash.
38:15Alexander froze.
38:17His gaze shifting from deep affection.
38:20To panic as he hurried to grab my hand.
38:23But when he saw the finger.
38:26I had just reattached.
38:28His motion froze that he tugged.
38:31At his hair in helplessness.
38:33Then broke down.
38:35Asking frantically.
38:37So.
38:38You did all this just to get back at me?
38:40To make me believe you married uncle?
38:42Just to punish me?
38:44I'm not you.
38:45I looked directly into his eyes.
38:48I've fallen in love with him.
38:50Alexander almost fled in a panic.
38:53I thought I had made myself clear.
38:56But a week after being discharged.
38:59I saw him again.
39:01At the hospital entrance.
39:04It seemed like he had been waiting for.
39:06A long time.
39:08When he saw me.
39:10He rushed toward me excitedly.
39:13But before he could touch the hem of my dress.
39:16Arthur kicked him out.
39:18He stumbled to his feet.
39:20His fiery gaze fixed on Arthur.
39:23You despicable man.
39:25You were the one.
39:26Who sent Liz that video.
39:28You did this on purpose.
39:30He screamed in rage.
39:33Liz.
39:33Arthur doesn't really love you.
39:35He's been scheming against you.
39:37He's deceived you.
39:39I furrowed my brows slightly.
39:41As I walked toward him.
39:44And just as hope rose in his eyes.
39:47I slapped him hard across the face.
39:49Does it matter who sent the video?
39:52Wasn't your faked death real?
39:55Didn't you fake amnesia?
39:57Didn't you mess around with Marjorie?
40:00Didn't you cut off my finger?
40:03Alexander.
40:04I'll say it one more time.
40:06We ended five years ago.
40:09The man I love now is Arthur.
40:11And the man I will love in the future.
40:14Will always be him.
40:16From now on.
40:18I'm your aunt.
40:20So watch your words.
40:22And don't make a fool of the.
40:24Carter family.
40:26With that.
40:27I turned away.
40:29Not looking at him again.
40:31I grasped Arthur's tightening hand.
40:34Giving it a comforting squeeze.
40:37The tension in his jaw immediately eased.
40:40The next news I heard about Alexander came.
40:44Two months later.
40:46He was paralyzed.
40:48Doomed to live the rest of his life.
40:51In a wheelchair.
40:52To prove his love to God.
40:55He tried to recreate my actions from years ago.
40:59He attempted to climb a treacherous peak in.
41:02Colorado during a snowstorm.
41:05Just like I had once done to pray for him.
41:08He made it up.
41:09But when it was time to come down.
41:12His legs gave way.
41:14And he tumbled down the cliff.
41:16The forest was silent.
41:19And by the time he was found.
41:21It was too late for proper treatment.
41:24I heard that.
41:26On the way to the hospital.
41:28His hand was still clutching the cross.
41:31And he mumbled.
41:33My Liz is waiting for me.
41:35We promised we'd never be apart.
41:37I didn't think much of it.
41:40Nor did I have the time to care.
41:42Because I was busy taking.
41:45Family photos.
41:47As Arthur wrapped his arm around.
41:50My waist for the picture.
41:52He said with a teasing tone.
41:55Feeling heartbroken.
41:56I chuckled.
41:57I'm more heartbroken for someone.
42:00Who's been in love for seven years.
42:03But too afraid to say it.
42:05He turned his head awkwardly.
42:08But his arms tightened around me.
42:10Our daughter.
42:12Seeing the moment.
42:14Squeezed in.
42:15Daddy.
42:16Mommy.
42:17Lily wants a kiss and a hug too.
42:20Arthur smiled.
42:21Holding one of us in each arm.
42:24The photo turned out so well.
42:26That the photographer wanted us to keep.
42:29One as a signature shot.
42:32Arthur.
42:33Who usually valued his privacy.
42:36Agreed for the first time.
42:38On the way back.
42:40I looked out the car window.
42:42And saw Marjorie.
42:44Her limbs severed.
42:47Curled up in a corner of an alley.
42:49Being beaten by a group of.
42:51Homeless men.
42:53She was muttering deliriously.
42:56I'm Mrs. Carter.
42:58You're all trash.
42:59You're not even worthy of.
43:02Shining my shoes.
43:04I covered our daughter's ears.
43:06And the man beside me stretched.
43:09Out his hand to cover mine.
43:12I glanced at his reddened ear tips.
43:15And couldn't help but remember.
43:17That diary I had accidentally discovered.
43:21I fell in love with a girl.
43:23She was Alexander's fiance.
43:26Alexander cheated.
43:28Faked his death.
43:30And pretended to have amnesia to buy more time.
43:34I know.
43:35My chance has come.
