HOT DRAMA 2026
Transcript
00:002 a.m. The phone rings. Bring me some condoms. I'm at his door, soaked to the bone. He stares
00:06at my wet clothes. Who told you to be a good girl? I hand him the bag. I've loved him
00:11for
00:11seven long years, but his first love is back. He's planning to have sex with her, and he
00:15told me to bring him some condoms. Here are the magnums you wanted. He brushes my knuckles
00:20with his thumb. Isabella is not here yet. Why don't we use them first? I freeze. Then
00:25he laughs. Just kidding. I'm not that much of a jerk. I set up a blind date for you
00:30next week. You've been with me for years. I don't want you to feel you'll go, right?
00:34His eyes are cold. I know the truth. His true love is coming back. He's disposing of me before
00:40she arrives. I clench my fists. Just send me the address. Sir. He flinches at the word
00:49sir. I turn to leave. Wait. He wraps a Burberry shawl around me. Don't leave
00:55tonight. But isn't someone else coming? You actually believe that? Do you think
01:00I'm just some total scumbag? Who else has there been but you? He carries me to
01:04the bed. This is the last time. Isabella is coming home tomorrow. I don't want her
01:09to suspect a thing. So be a good girl. Go to that date. The mask is finally off.
01:14He's choosing her. I don't say a word. James is a literal machine. They say men slow
01:20down after 25. With him? That's a total lie. The sun was already coming up. He finally
01:26finished and hit the shower. I grabbed my clothes and headed out. That's our unwritten rule.
01:31He hates sleeping next to anyone. For 5 years no matter how tired. I always crawled to the
01:37guest room. Next morning he was back from the gym. I rushed downstairs.
01:44I saved some breakfast for you. No time. I'll miss my bus. I can just drive you. He said.
01:49No. I blurted out. My promotion results come out today. I can't be seen in your car. Otherwise
01:55they'll think I slept my way to the top. The room went dead silent. He stopped and let out
02:00a cold laugh. Fine. Suit yourself. He handed me a business card. Your blind date for next week.
02:06My head started spinning. One night made me almost forget. I came here to end this mess.
02:11The reason I agreed to drop off condoms last night was to end our 5 year messy relationship.
02:16I didn't want to seem desperate. I took the card. The edges stung. Okay. I whispered. I'll go.
02:25I've lived at James' house every weekend for years. Back then I'd carry heavy bags of clothes.
02:31He built me a walk-in closet just to keep me around. But today I'm packing it all up.
02:36My pink slippers. My pajamas. Everything is gone. James just leaned against the door.
02:42Watching. We're just boss and employee now. He let out a cold, sharp laugh.
02:47Don't worry. He smirked. I won't make things hard for you at work.
02:52I rushed to my desk just before 10am. My co-worker bought me a congrats coffee.
02:57Don't forget us when you're the director.
02:59I blushed.
03:01The results aren't even out.
03:03You deserve it. You worked the hardest. Five years of hard work. It's yours.
03:07I didn't hold back and smiled at the whole team.
03:10If I win, expensive sushi is on me.
03:15The whole office started cheering.
03:18Three minutes left.
03:20I refreshed my email.
03:22Then, the notification popped up.
03:25We regret to inform you.
03:27Promotion denied.
03:29My mind went completely blank.
03:31The team crowded around.
03:33Then, dead silence.
03:38H.R. walked in with a woman in white.
03:40This is Isabella, our new director.
03:43Personally appointed by the James.
03:46I looked up and stopped breathing.
03:48She looked exactly like the photo.
03:50The one James kept hidden in his wallet.
03:53I felt like I had a heavy flu.
03:55I walked to James' office like a robot.
03:57I couldn't stop wiping away my tears.
04:01I knocked.
04:03Come in.
04:06Why?
04:07I asked, my voice trembling.
04:10What?
04:10So many positions in this company.
04:12Why did you give Isabella my promotion?
04:15He finally looked at me.
04:16She wanted it.
04:17Just because she wanted it?
04:19What of the seven years I gave you and your company?
04:21I almost died on that Africa assignment.
04:25James stood up and walked toward me.
04:27Claire, this is reality.
04:28I decide everything.
04:30I just wanted fairness.
04:32He let out a cool, low laugh.
04:34Fairness?
04:35You want to talk about fairness?
04:37If we didn't sleep together, you'd be nothing.
04:39You took the shortcut.
04:41Now you want fairness?
04:42His words felt like a slap to my face.
04:45I worked my heart out for seven years.
04:47I pushed myself every single day.
04:49I had to prove I belonged here.
04:51But he was right.
04:52I got into company because of him.
04:54That's how this all started.
04:55He gave it to me when he wanted to, and threw me away when he didn't.
04:58I have no right to talk about fairness.
05:05So I'm done.
05:07I'm quitting today.
05:09Meeting James was like a scene from a bad movie.
05:12I moved to New York right after graduation.
05:14My boyfriend cheated and moved on instantly.
05:17I was drowning in stress and heartbreak.
05:19So I went to a bar to drink the pain away.
05:21I had never had that much alcohol before.
05:24I drank until I completely lost my mind.
05:27Usually, I'm too shy to talk to strangers.
05:29But that night, I hit on the hottest guy there.
05:32That guy was James.
05:34He looked like a star on a magazine cover.
05:36He was cold and kept rejecting everyone.
05:39Do you want to come home with me?
05:40But I walked right up and sat next to him.
05:43He took a sip and let out a low laugh.
05:46I've never met anyone as bold as you.
05:50We spent the night in my tiny apartment.
05:52It was an experience like never before.
05:54It was so beautiful, I completely lost myself.
05:58I thought I'd never see him again.
06:01I was wrong.
06:03The next day, I went to the interview.
06:05I looked up and saw him in a sharp suit.
06:07My heart almost jumped out of my chest.
06:09I recognized him instantly, but stayed calm.
06:12A few hours later, I got the job offer.
06:15On my first day, he cornered me in the elevator.
06:18Claire, right?
06:19Can you handle a physical-only relationship?
06:24I'm usually conservative, but his eyes were deep.
06:28Aye, aye, can do that, I whispered.
06:31The moment I said it, I knew I was screwed.
06:34I fell for him, hopelessly.
06:36By day, he was my boss.
06:38By night, my lover.
06:42He gave me money,
06:45jewelry, and expensive bags.
06:49But he also taught me everything about work.
06:53I actually started to hope he'd love me back.
06:56But today, the fairy tale finally died.
06:59I was kicked out like a total fool.
07:03I finally realized the painful truth.
07:06If it's not meant to be yours, it never will be.
07:09Since I didn't get promoted, I don't even need his signature to quit.
07:14I went to HR and quit in minutes.
07:17Diana, the HR director, gave me a hug.
07:21Thanks for everything, Diana.
07:24Can you do me a huge favor?
07:27Keep my resignation a secret for now.
07:31I don't want anyone to know I'm gone.
07:34She is the only one who knows about me and James.
07:38I promise.
07:40After work, my grandma called me.
07:43Sweetie, did you get the promotion?
07:45You said I'd be the first to know.
07:47My throat tightened.
07:49I couldn't stop crying.
07:51Grandma, I'm leaving the New York.
07:54The line went silent for a second.
07:57That's great.
07:57I missed you so much.
07:59Come home.
08:00I'll cook your favorite food.
08:03I started to sob uncontrollably.
08:05I knew she was just comforting me.
08:08She used to brag about my city job.
08:11I wanted to buy her a house here.
08:15My dream was so beautiful.
08:18My dream was so beautiful.
08:21But reality was just too cruel.
08:23I couldn't sleep that night.
08:25So I started scrolling.
08:28At 2.10am, I saw it.
08:30A local post.
08:32He still loves holding me in his sleep.
08:34James' hand was around her waist.
08:36Then I saw the Cartier ring.
08:39My heart literally stopped.
08:41I knew that ring better than anyone.
08:44I saved for months to buy it for him.
08:48You don't need to buy me gifts you can't afford.
08:51There's really no point.
08:52But you deserve the best.
08:53He kissed me and looked so in love.
08:55Given our relationship, I didn't think James would actually wear this ring.
08:59The next day, he wore it to work.
09:01He even smirked and flashed it at me.
09:04Every female colleague in the office was gossiping.
09:08God, he looked so good.
09:10It hurt.
09:11Now that ring is on another girl's photo.
09:14They look so perfect together.
09:17It hit me all of a sudden.
09:20The person he's willing to hold
09:23was never me.
09:27One week left until I quit.
09:29Then, Isabella showed up at the cafe.
09:31She threw a bag with a hair strand on the table.
09:34I found this in James' guest room.
09:36So you're the side piece.
09:38Before I could speak, ice cold coffee hit my face.
09:41Then came the slap.
09:42Hard.
09:43She hissed.
09:44How can you be so cheap?
09:45I went to swing back, but my wrist was caught.
09:48It was James.
09:49He didn't even look at me.
09:51Get in the car, Isabella.
09:53Isabella, I'll handle this.
09:56You replaced me after six months?
10:00Isabella was sobbing.
10:02Once she left, James' eyes turned cold as ice.
10:06Did I not tell you?
10:07Never about her ass.
10:09I pulled away and laughed.
10:11She found me, James.
10:12I was just waiting for my date.
10:15The one you set up, remember?
10:17I pointed outside.
10:18He's here.
10:19James' face went pale.
10:21His jaw tightened.
10:23Fine.
10:24He snapped.
10:25Enjoy yourself.
10:26He threw his coat over me and walked away.
10:29The date was a disaster.
10:30An entitled rich brat.
10:34When I got home, Shadow was waiting.
10:37James was leaning against the wall, checking his watch.
10:41Home already?
10:41No dinner?
10:42No movie?
10:43I tried to walk past, but he pinned me to the wall.
10:46Are you that obsessed, mate?
10:48Not interested in other men at all?
10:50Then he dropped the bomb.
10:53I'm marrying Isabella.
10:55Don't get any ideas.
10:57There's trouble when you're fired.
11:00My heart shattered.
11:01I kept my eyes dry.
11:03Don't worry, Mr. James.
11:05I know exactly where I stand.
11:07I walked upstairs without looking back.
11:10Downstairs, James lit a cigarette in the dark.
11:13He saw wet my window until the lights went out.
11:16I went home and sold everything.
11:18Every gift, every memory, gone.
11:20At the office, James was a stranger.
11:24Good morning, Mr. James.
11:25Cold, professional.
11:27I already bought my ticket home.
11:31I'm coming.
11:32Then Tom brought me a latte.
11:34Let's grab dinner tonight?
11:35He handed me roses, my favorite.
11:38Suddenly, a loud honk cut the air.
11:40James was staring from his Bentley.
11:43He looked furious.
11:44Then he sped off.
11:45The next day was my last day.
11:47The client, Mr. Harry, was a creep.
11:49He kept touching me.
11:51I felt sick.
11:52It was raining and dark when I left.
11:55Footsteps behind me.
11:56It was him.
11:57Hey, baby, get in my car.
11:58He smirked.
12:00I ran into a dark alley, trembling.
12:02I pressed the panic button on my watch.
12:05Please answer, James.
12:07I sobbed.
12:08The call connected.
12:09It was Isabella.
12:11James is showering.
12:12What do you want?
12:14Isabella, help.
12:15A man is stalking me.
12:17Silence.
12:18Then a cruel laugh.
12:19Another fake emergency?
12:21Nice try.
12:22Who is it?
12:23Just Claire, trying to annoy me.
12:26If you talk to her, I'm leaving.
12:28James' voice was soft, soothing.
12:30Okay, baby.
12:31I won't pick up.
12:32The line went dead.
12:34Harry was right behind me.
12:3510 o'clock a.m.
12:37My desk is empty.
12:38I'm never late, but James didn't care.
12:40He thought I was just throwing a tantrum.
12:42The meeting starts.
12:43My chair is still empty.
12:45Suddenly, the HR director screams.
12:46It's Claire.
12:47She's in trouble.
12:48James' face goes pale instantly.
12:50He stands up, his chair screeching.
12:53What do you mean?
12:53He sees security footage.
12:55It's me in a dark alley.
12:57But in that dark alley, Harry was dragging me with my hair.
13:28I fought.
13:30James stands frozen, veins popping on his head.
13:33Why wasn't I told?
13:34Why wasn't her resignation on my desk?
13:36Diana stares him down with red eyes.
13:38Company policy.
13:39Junior staff only need their manager's sign-off.
13:42You denied her promotion.
13:43Remember?
13:43James is speechless.
13:44It feels like a slap to his face.
13:46He knows exactly why she failed.
13:48And now it's too late.
13:49I just landed.
13:50The police called.
13:51I gave my statement over the phone.
13:54Then, I threw my SIM card away.
13:56Bye.
13:56New York.
13:57Goodbye.
13:58Passed.
13:59I went home and bought a house.
14:01In cash.
14:01No more debt to anyone.
14:03I sold all the designer bags he gave me.
14:05That gave me $300,000 to start over.
14:08I finally opened my own store.
14:11Grandma's smile was like sunshine.
14:12I thought, life is finally good.
14:15But at night, I still thought of James.
14:17He used to be my everything.
14:19I thought I'd never get over him.
14:21Until six months later, at a bar, I saw a guy who looked just like him.
14:25The same bag.
14:26The same drink.
14:28I waited for the pain to hit.
14:30But, nothing.
14:31No pain at all.
14:32I just turned back and laughed.
14:34That's when I knew.
14:36I'm finally free.
14:37A year later, I saw James again.
14:40My shop was booming.
14:41My rivals were furious.
14:46They hired trolls to smear my brand.
14:48So I sued them.
14:50I didn't back down.
14:53I thought it was over.
14:55I was wrong.
14:57Six thugs cornered me in an alley.
14:59They smashed my phone.
15:01I couldn't call help.
15:02Then, a familiar shadow charged in.
15:05It was James.
15:07He jumped in front of me.
15:08Call 911.
15:08He barked, tossing his phone.
15:10A man pulled a knife and lunged.
15:12James didn't even blink.
15:14He shielded me.
15:16The blade sank deep into his side.
15:18Blood soaked his shirt.
15:19I forgot to breathe.
15:21He leaned on me, gasping for air.
15:23He wiped a tear from my cheek.
15:24Don't be scared.
15:26It takes more than that to kill me.
15:28The ambulance took him away.
15:29I was frozen.
15:31It all felt like a living nightmare.
15:33James survived.
15:35He's stable now.
15:36His family rushed to the hospital.
15:39He's hurt because of you!
15:41I never asked him to save me.
15:43How can you be so icy?
15:45I was the one who blocked you.
15:47James never got your call for help.
15:49He almost killed that guy for you.
15:52I don't care.
15:53We broke up a year ago.
15:56He loved you more than he knew.
15:58She handed me an envelope of tickets.
16:01Every single one was to my city.
16:03He came here twice every month.
16:05Just to watch you from afar.
16:07James woke up and saw me.
16:09His voice was a raspy mess.
16:11I thought I'd never see you again.
16:14I tossed the plane tickets on the table.
16:16You've already seen me plenty of times.
16:18He looked away like a guilty child.
16:20I didn't mean to bother you.
16:23James, it doesn't matter anymore.
16:24We've already turned the page.
16:26He looked pale.
16:27His eyes filled with tears.
16:29I'm sorry about your promotion.
16:31I actually had a better plan for you.
16:34I closed my eyes.
16:36My chest felt tight.
16:37This won't make me come back, James.
16:40But you never told me.
16:42Why didn't you explain it back then?
16:44James froze.
16:45No words came out.
16:47Because you didn't think I needed to know.
16:49You were always so high and mighty.
16:52My feelings never mattered to you.
16:54He looked crushed.
16:56Broken.
