Short filmTranscript
00:01I'm marrying my long-time boyfriend.
00:04The officiant asks if I'm willing to marry Aiden Miller.
00:08I'm just about to say yes when a childlike voice appears.
00:12Mom, don't say yes. Aiden isn't my dad.
00:15The baby in Camilla Buckley's belly is his.
00:19My brain completely crashes.
00:22Everyone is waiting for my answer, but I freeze.
00:25The baby I'm carrying isn't Aiden's?
00:30Then whose is it?
00:31The next second, the little voice speaks again.
00:34Silly mom, that jerk has been cheating on you.
00:37If you marry him, he'll lock you in a basement.
00:42Go ask my real dad for help.
00:44The hottest and richest man down there.
00:47I'm shaken.
00:47I can't help but glance at Ian Britt, the ascetic rich air below the stage.
00:53Today is supposed to be my wedding, yet people keep drifting toward him with their eyes.
00:57His looks just stand out too much.
01:00I glance at him and unexpectedly meet his cold gaze.
01:03I quickly look away, my heart pounding.
01:06Baby, do you even know who he is?
01:09He's the one and only CEO of BritCorp.
01:12He's never had any woman.
01:14How could you be his kid?
01:17Even if Aiden is poor, you can't just deny him as your dad.
01:22Baby, be realistic.
01:25It's too late to switch fathers now.
01:28Try again in your next life.
01:30I comfort the baby.
01:32I assume he denies Aiden as his father because he's broke.
01:36But the little voice screams,
01:38Remember that night you woke up in a hotel?
01:42Aiden and Camilla tricked you there and tried to offer you to a client.
01:47But you walked into the wrong room.
01:50The man beside you that night was Ian.
01:53I'm stunned.
01:55That man was Ian?
01:56I thought it was Aiden.
01:59Memories rush back.
02:01That night, two bodies tangled.
02:04Aiden is still looking at me gently.
02:06But what fills my mind now is Ian's sweat and stifled gasps as he demanded more.
02:13The ascetic rich air is anything but restrained.
02:16Noticing I don't respond, the officiant repeats,
02:19Ms. Elaine Buckley, do you take Mr. Miller to be your lawfully wedded husband?
02:24Aiden squeezes my hand, concern in his eyes.
02:27What's wrong, Elaine?
02:28Are you still not ready?
02:31He rubs my palm gently to reassure me.
02:34It's okay.
02:35Once you marry me, I'll give you everything I have.
02:40Don't believe him.
02:42He bought a villa next to your home.
02:45To raise his kid with Camilla.
02:48I jolt and shout.
02:50No, I do not.
02:52The moment I say that, I gasp.
02:55Fill the room.
02:56Aiden's family is well known in Drago.
02:58No one expects me to reject Aiden in public.
03:02Especially since I went all out pursuing him, acting like a total simp.
03:08Everyone says I'm promiscuous.
03:11Now that I'm settling down, I'm throwing away a perfect marriage handed to me.
03:16Aiden's expression darkens.
03:18He clearly didn't expect this.
03:21Elaine, stop this.
03:23This is our wedding.
03:25If you're upset with me, we can talk after it's over.
03:29If you wait, it'll be too late.
03:32My real dad is going to go overseas to chase his first love.
03:37Mom, time's running out.
03:39Dump this jerk and go get my rich, handsome dad back.
03:44I won't marry you, I reply firmly.
03:48My son wouldn't lie to me.
03:50If he says Aiden is a jerk, then I must leave.
03:53Camilla steps onto the stage and stands beside Aiden.
03:58Elaine, what are you doing?
04:01Aiden already agreed to marry you.
04:03When she comes closer, I notice the ring on her hand.
04:07It's the same style as my wedding ring.
04:10Mine looks like cheap plastic in comparison.
04:13In that instant, everything clicks.
04:15The baby in my belly is part of a scheme she and Aiden have been planning all along.
04:20She's adopted, with no right to marry Aiden.
04:23I'm nothing more than a tool to make the union happen for her.
04:27Dad stands up and reprimands me.
04:48The wedding has turned into a farce.
04:51Guests whisper among themselves, eager for the spectacle.
04:55Elaine is truly hopeless.
04:57She used to pursue Mr. Miller recklessly.
05:01Now she wants to back out?
05:04Everyone wants to see her get kicked out.
05:07The adopted daughter is much more sensible and clever.
05:11She married a rich guy and is living comfortably.
05:14Mr. Buckley is so unlucky to have such a worthless biological daughter.
05:19The whispers reach my ears.
05:22And I realize just how bad my reputation in Drago has become.
05:26But I used to be the sensible and clever heiress.
05:29Ever since Camila came into the house, my standing has been sinking.
05:34And even mom, dad and Aiden have started treating me differently.
05:38Aiden grabs my hand and announces to everyone,
05:42Elaine's just a little upset.
05:44Please bear with her.
05:46She's agreed to marry me.
05:48And I'm happy to marry her.
05:50I catch Camila clenching her fists.
05:52I take a deep breath, shake off Aiden's hand and say firmly,
05:57I'm not marrying you.
05:58I know everything about you and Camila.
06:04The baby in her belly is yours, isn't it?
06:07The words hit like thunder, detonating through the banquet hall.
06:12Way to go, mom!
06:13Time to expose those two hypocrites.
06:16Camila has been spreading dirt about you.
06:20Your ruined reputation is all thanks to her.
06:23The baby in my belly screams with glee, stirring up chaos like it's his mission.
06:30What did you say?
06:32Camila covers her mouth, putting on a pitiful look.
06:36Elaine, you always bully me.
06:39And now you hit me with such a huge accusation?
06:42How can you use my baby to bail on your own wedding?
06:46At her words, Aiden's expression shifts from diffident to calm.
06:51He says righteously,
06:52Elaine, you've gone too far.
06:55No matter what, you shouldn't.
06:57Slander Camila and me like this.
07:00Mom looks utterly disappointed and furious.
07:19Guests snicker and laugh.
07:22This is too good.
07:23Elaine is really something else.
07:26Slandering her fiancé and sister.
07:28I yank off my veil, ready to leave.
07:31But a few burly men step in, blocking my way.
07:36Aiden seizes my wrist while I hesitate, trying to drag me through the ceremony.
07:41He forces the words out.
07:43His gentle expression is gone, replaced by something fierce.
07:47Once you marry me, you won't get to be this willful again.
07:52Everyone looks at me with mockery.
07:54No one respects my choice.
07:56For the first time, I snap awake.
07:59I realize how bad my situation is.
08:02Camila and Aiden have been using me as a pawn.
08:05Once this ceremony is over, Aiden will lock you in the basement.
08:09The cars are all waiting at the doors.
08:12The moment you step out, you'll be taken away.
08:16Mom, go to my real dad for help.
08:19Right, Ian.
08:20I look toward Ian, but he's already standing and leaving with his assistant.
08:26Oh no!
08:27Dad's about to chase his lost love!
08:30Ian's my last lifeline!
08:33Desperate, I bite down hard on Aiden's hand.
08:37He yelps and releases me.
08:38I spin around and dash toward Ian.
08:41A bodyguard rushes to stop me, but I crash into a table, sending the wine glasses flying.
08:46My long dress whips through the chaotic crowd.
08:50Guests scream as chaos erupts, but I don't care.
08:55I head straight for Ian.
08:57His assistant hasn't even reacted yet.
09:00Ian turns at the sound, and I crash straight into his arms.
09:04Take me with you.
09:05Please.
09:07Backlit, Ian's face is hard to see.
09:09The next second, he shoves me hard.
09:11He brushes off his suit, as if he has touched something filthy, and scowls at me.
09:17Get lost.
09:18Don't you know I don't touch women?
09:20Such an actor.
09:21Don't believe him.
09:22He's just putting on an act.
09:24When he falls for you, he'll be all clingy.
09:28Ian turns to leave again, but I grab onto his pant leg, holding him back.
09:33Footsteps thunder behind me.
09:35Bodyguards rush forward and clamp onto me.
09:37Mom and Dad watch Ian's dark expression in fear.
09:50Aiden chimes in.
09:52Looking humble.
09:53Mr. Britt, I let her out of my sight.
09:56I'll teach her a lesson later.
09:58Please forgive us.
10:00Camilla stares at Ian in a daze.
10:03Every woman in Drago is obsessed with Ian.
10:06Ian doesn't answer.
10:07He looks down at my hand.
10:09Camilla glances at me, too.
10:11She lifts her heel and stomps on the back of my hand.
10:15Elaine, how dare you offend Mr. Britt?
10:18Let go!
10:19I scream in pain.
10:20Ian immediately pulls his leg free and strides away coldly.
10:24His back is about to disappear.
10:27Panicked, I shout after him,
10:28Ian!
10:30The baby in my belly is yours!
10:32Ian suddenly stops.
10:34The air goes eerily still.
10:36All the guests turn to look at me.
10:38Not with mockery this time, but like I've lost my mind.
10:42Camilla didn't expect this at all.
10:45She grins and leans close to whisper,
10:48Elaine, you aimed high, but chose the wrong target.
10:55Ian's not someone you can just latch on to.
10:58She's right.
10:59Everyone knows Ian avoids women and hates contact with them.
11:03His prayer beads prove his vow of detachment.
11:06The last woman who approached him ended up with her hands and feet broken.
11:11Is she looking to die?
11:13I thought she was shameless, but she's crazy.
11:18No one who messes with Mr. Britt ends well.
11:21Everyone holds their breath, waiting for Ian to snap.
11:25And sure enough, when he turns around, his expression is icy.
11:29His eyes stare at me as if I'm dead.
11:32He rolls the beads, murmuring,
11:34Ha!
11:35My baby?
11:38Miss Buckley, you've got some guts.
11:41No one in all of Drago has dared claim I'm the father of her baby.
11:47I've heard your reputation.
11:49Have you sunk so low?
11:53As to name another man the father at your wedding?
11:56Ian's prayer beads clack softly, sharp and chilling.
12:00It's proof that his anger is building.
12:02Aiden presses my head down, forcing me to kneel while apologizing.
12:08I'm sorry, Mr. Britt.
12:09She's not in her right mind.
12:11Please forgive her this once.
12:13Apologize to Mr. Britt.
12:15Hurry up.
12:16Noticing that Aiden doesn't care when I say the child isn't his,
12:19I realize he knows perfectly well that the baby in my belly isn't his.
12:24He just wants to control me so he can have an affair with Camilla.
12:27Mom, don't worry.
12:29Once there's proof that he's my dad, he won't ignore us.
12:33With the Britt family backing us, anyone who's bullied you will pay for it.
12:39Proof?
12:40I laugh bitterly.
12:42I don't have any proof.
12:44I barely know Ian.
12:46Mom lunges forward and slaps me twice.
12:48She yells.
12:55Ian looks down at me.
12:56I feel small, like a helpless insect.
12:59That night of passion seems like a fading illusion.
13:03A thought strikes me.
13:04I raise my head and say calmly,
13:06Mr. Britt, I saw your red-colored birthmark.
13:10After I say that, Ian freezes for a second.
13:13His expression remains calm, but his eyes reveal his shock.
13:17That birthmark is far below his waist.
13:19It's extremely private.
13:21Only someone close to him knows.
13:22The guests exchange confused glances.
13:25Not understanding what I mean, Camilla quickly interrupts.
13:29Elaine, everyone has birthmarks.
13:32How can you use something so meaningless as proof that Mr. Britt is the father?
13:37Countless women have tried similar tricks over the years.
13:42If you really want to prove the baby's his, why not just do a DNA test?
13:48Camilla smirks, unconvinced that I could have anything with Ian.
13:52After all, someone like me could never be linked to the most powerful men in Drago.
13:58It took Aiden a lot of effort, connections, and money, just to get Ian to show up at this wedding.
14:05The crowd starts echoing.
14:07Yeah, do a DNA test and give this woman a slap in the face.
14:11Who does she think she is?
14:13Trying to attach herself to Mr. Britt.
14:15And openly claiming at her wedding that her baby is his.
14:21How shameless.
14:22Wasn't she so bold?
14:24Let's test it.
14:26Expose her ugly lies and drive her out of Drago.
14:32Ian's gaze darkens.
14:34And then he nods once, giving me a chance.
14:37Fine.
14:38Let's do the DNA test.
14:40I'll make sure you die, knowing.
14:43Mom, you're amazing.
14:45I finally get to see Dad getting slapped in the face.
14:49Ha ha ha.
14:49Don't worry, Mom.
14:51I'll teach you how to handle him.
14:53Once he falls for you, you'll have a loyal, clingy puppy.
14:58Soon, the chaos spreads like wildfire.
15:02Ian's father, Stephen Britt, rushes to the scene.
15:05Seeing me having blood drawn, he can't hide the joy in his face.
15:09This is great.
15:11I'm having a grandchild before I die.
15:14Ian smirks.
15:15Let's see.
15:17If she lives once the truth comes out.
15:21I close my eyes, letting the blood flow.
15:24Mom and Dad hover nearby, terrified I'll drag them down.
15:28Aiden's face looks as black as night.
15:31His fiancé is having a DNA test for another man's child at his wedding.
15:35Even if the man is Ian, it's a humiliation he can't swallow.
15:40Mom, luckily you didn't marry Aiden.
15:42He's scheming how to make your life miserable.
15:45Oh God, this is painful.
15:48But I'll put up with it for you, Mom.
15:52I'm battered and weak from the blood draw.
15:55The baby's comfort is all that keeps me going.
15:58The guests stare at me with judgmental gazes, all expecting Ian to tear me apart.
16:05No one believes that Ian could have a child.
16:08I know, too, that if the baby isn't his, I'm in for a total disaster.
16:14Finally, hurried footsteps echo.
16:17Ian's assistant rushes in, holding a report.
16:20He whispers urgently into Ian's ear.
16:22Ian's usual cold expression gives way to sheer shock.
16:26Meanwhile, Stephen taps his cane on the floor.
16:29Don't just whisper to him.
16:30Is this my grandchild or not?
16:33Tell me.
16:33Camila covers her mouth, smirking.
16:37It's obvious.
16:38No way that baby is a Brit.
16:41Elaine's lying.
16:42The assistant wipes his sweat and announces...
16:46The baby in Ms. Buckley's womb shares a 99.99% genetic match with Mr. Brit.
16:53The hall falls silent.
16:54Then erupts into a heated discussion.
16:57Everyone stares at me in disbelief.
16:59How could a woman from such a small family be carrying a Brit?
17:04Ian's prayer beads snap suddenly.
17:07Black pearls scatter across the floor.
17:09Frowning, he murmurs under his breath.
17:12I don't even know this woman.
17:13No way.
17:14The DNA report and the mention of his birthmark prove that this bride is his woman.
17:21Memories come flooding back.
17:24That night, he was drugged.
17:26He collapsed in a hotel room.
17:29In a haze of desire, he lost control.
17:32He thought it was just a dream.
17:34He didn't expect it to be real.
17:37Elaine, you have no shame.
17:39Camila jumps in again.
17:40When she first hears that my baby is Ian's, her mask slips, revealing jealousy.
17:46But noticing that Ian doesn't acknowledge me at all, she quickly regains her smugness.
17:51You cheated behind Aiden's back and even crawled onto Mr. Britt's bed?
17:56You're too calculating.
17:58You played us all for fools and dragged our reputation through the mud.
18:02How did we produce someone so promiscuous?
18:06The guests finally realize.
18:09But I'm carrying Ian's baby while marrying Aiden.
18:12It's way too outrageous.
18:14The guest starts verbally attacking me.
18:16Yeah.
18:17She first latched onto Mr. Miller, then schemed to sleep with Mr. Britt.
18:22How could she enter the Britt family?
18:24And she chose this day to announce the father.
18:29The Buckley family should throw her out already.
18:32Leveraging her baby for status?
18:34I think the Britt family will never forgive her or let her stay here.
18:40She's immoral and shameless.
18:43Announcing her affair is just disgusting.
18:46The jeers grow louder.
18:48Too embarrassed?
18:50Dad shouts.
18:59Aiden stays silent, watching me get scolded.
19:03Suddenly, a cane thunders against the floor.
19:06Stephen's commanding voice rings out.
19:08Enough!
19:09Who do you think you are?
19:11Helping a rich family bully a woman?
19:14As long as Ms. Buckley is carrying our Britt family blood.
19:18She's my daughter-in-law.
19:20Harry, bring Ms. Buckley to the car.
19:23We're going home.
19:24Harry White, the butler, nods and reaches out to help me.
19:28I'm exhausted from stress and pregnancy.
19:31After a few steps, I stumble forward.
19:34Just as I'm about to fall, a pair of hands scoops me up, holding me close.
19:39Ian's expression is calm.
19:41I may not acknowledge you, but you're carrying my baby.
19:46And you've been mine.
19:48I won't let anyone hurt you.
19:51Ian carries me, his eyes cold as he scans the crowd, who just mocked me.
19:56From now on, Ms. Buckley is part of the Britt family.
20:00If I hear any more gossip, don't blame me for being ruthless.
20:33With that, he strides out of the hall.
20:34He turns his eyes for a moment, then picks up his phone.
20:37Cancel my flight and bring Wendy back.
20:41Mom, your biggest rival, Wendy Lane, is coming.
20:45She was Dad's first love, and she's more cunning than Camilla.
20:50But don't worry.
20:52Whether it's Camilla or Wendy, Dad and I will always back you.
20:57I smile bitterly, hand on belly.
21:01My baby is hopeful, but I feel none of it.
21:04I almost married another man.
21:06How to pique a rich heir's interest.
21:09I escaped Aiden, only to join the Brits.
21:12Is this just a deeper trap?
21:14Ian studies me with narrowed eyes.
21:17His suspicion has never faded.
21:19Ms. Buckley, even if you're carrying my child, I won't marry you.
21:25He sneers.
21:27I don't care how you got pregnant, or how long you've planned this act.
21:34But joining the Britt family won't be that easy.
21:37What an act! Keep it up!
21:40You have no idea how Dad keeps your playing that knight in his head.
21:44He's a total hopeless romantic.
21:47Mom, you don't even need to try.
21:50He'll convince himself to love you.
21:52I close my eyes to process the baby's words before replying to Ian.
21:58I'm not trying to join your family.
22:00I just want to have my baby and watch him grow up healthy.
22:05Ian doesn't respond, but my baby pipes up again.
22:09Dad's interest is rising.
22:11He's pleased with your answer.
22:13It's only a matter of time.
22:15If I'm trapped and surrounded on all sides, the only person who can save me is Ian.
22:23I was born into the Buckley family, but we're a minor clan.
22:27We're known only for being scholarly and cultured.
22:30I was raised as a proper lady, admired by high society.
22:34Camila's arrival changed everything.
22:37She's a distant relative's daughter.
22:39After her parents died, my parents adopted her.
22:42At first, she seemed timid, so I tried to be her friend.
22:46Unbeknownst to me, her docility masked a calculating mind.
22:51Camila's manipulations and innocent act won over Mom and Dad.
22:55Even Aiden, whom I long admired, fell for her after just a few meetings.
23:02They praised her endlessly, calling her thoughtful and perfect.
23:07Slowly, my reputation was ruined.
23:10Rumors spread that I was obsessed with Aiden.
23:13Everything I did was twisted.
23:15For instance, when I knit him a scarf, they said I ignored my sick mother just to do crafts for
23:23him.
23:23I spent tens of thousands for an auctioned watch.
23:27But the gossip claimed I stole millions from family funds for him.
23:36These lies came from nowhere, turning me from a refined lady into a shameless, obsessive simp.
23:44I stayed polite to Camila, and when Aiden proposed, I missed her schemes entirely.
23:51I never imagined she was conspiring with him.
23:55If I hadn't heard my baby's voice at the wedding, I would have been ripped apart by the Millers.
24:01The Millers are powerful.
24:04Mom and Dad will never offend them for me.
24:07Ian is my only way out.
24:09He has power on both sides of the law, and the Brits control all of Drago.
24:14Since Ian became the successor, he has ruled the family alone.
24:20He leads Drago's elite, and everyone respects him.
24:23But Ian is a hopeless romantic.
24:26Since his sweetheart, Wendy, left to study abroad, he has shut everyone out and refuses to let any woman near.
24:33However, Stephen is nearly 100, and desperate for a grandchild to enjoy his final years.
24:42Wanting nothing to do with anyone else, Ian decided to go abroad and win Wendy back.
24:48But he ran into me at the wedding.
24:50Now there's a baby involved.
24:52Under Stephen's pressure, Ian cancels his trip to stay at Britt Manor with me.
24:58But the pressure is mounting.
25:00He watches me with a cold stare, pacing like a guard over a prisoner.
25:05Mom, Wendy is coming today. Brace yourself!
25:09I barely react to the warning.
25:12First loves are lethal.
25:14I don't expect Ian to fall for me anyway.
25:17But after seeing the viral trends, I start to panic.
25:21Every hashtag is about my behavior at the wedding.
25:24It looks absurd from any angle.
25:27The internet tears me apart.
25:29Reporters and gossip seekers camp outside, waiting for me.
25:33Even the Brits' lives are affected.
25:36Ian eats fruit beside me, casually watching the crowd outside.
25:41Clean up your own mess.
25:44The Brits don't support freeloaders.
25:46I go quiet.
25:48I remember my baby saying,
25:49Wendy is returning today.
25:51Wendy and Camilla are good friends.
25:53She won't miss a chance to target me.
25:56Seeing luxury cars outside,
25:58I turn to Ian and say,
26:00Well, my chance just arrived.
26:03The gates of Britt Manor open.
26:06A graceful woman stands there,
26:08her eyes soft yet sharp.
26:10Ian steps forward.
26:12I know at once she is Wendy.
26:14The woman he's loved for years must be exceptional.
26:18Wendy is gentle and refined.
26:20She hooks her arm through Ian's.
26:22Ian!
26:23It's been so long.
26:25She doesn't even look at me.
26:27Camilla trails behind,
26:28looking provocatively.
26:30Well, well, Elaine.
26:32So this is where you are.
26:34You use tricks to get pregnant.
26:37But why isn't there a marriage announcement?
26:40Only then does Wendy notice me.
26:42She looks at Ian, acting fragile.
26:44Ian!
26:45This is...
26:46Ian answers plainly.
26:48She's the mother of my child.
26:51Wendy freezes for a second.
26:52She sheds a few tears, acting hurt.
26:55She reaches for my hand.
26:57Since you're pregnant, you should take care of yourself.
27:02Even if Ian can't marry you,
27:04the Brits are a large family.
27:06I won't drive you away.
27:09Wendy acts like she owns the place.
27:11Every word she says frames me as the other woman.
27:15But Stephen shoots her a sharp look.
27:17No outsider can decide who my daughter-in-law will be.
27:21Go get ready for tonight's welcoming party.
27:24You stubbornly ran away, leaving Ian behind.
27:27And now you're suddenly back?
27:29Wendy turns pale.
27:31Ian pats her shoulder to comfort her.
27:33Her face relaxes.
27:35As Camilla passes me, she sneers.
27:38Elaine, at the party tonight.
27:40I'll make sure you're run out of Drago.
27:42I calmly reply.
27:44Okay, let the fallout begin.
27:46It's you or me.
27:48Camilla didn't expect me to talk back.
27:50She glares at me before leaving with Wendy.
27:53Mom, be careful.
27:55They're teaming up tonight.
27:57They'll fake a DNA test to slander you.
28:00Tell Dad to come up with a plan.
28:04Smiling, I pat my belly
28:06and reassure the baby.
28:07Don't worry.
28:09Even without your dad,
28:10I can handle this.
28:13Because of my status,
28:16only Stephen treats me well.
28:18Like a true daughter-in-law
28:20keeping me by his side.
28:21As guests arrive,
28:23all eyes are on me
28:25with strange curiosity.
28:26I heard she's the Buckley daughter
28:28who played both sides.
28:30She got pregnant with a Brit
28:32at a Miller wedding.
28:35She canceled her wedding
28:36and had a DNA test done with Mr. Brit.
28:39What a move.
28:42Gosh.
28:43She used such dirty tricks
28:45to get into the Brit family.
28:46Now she shows up at Ms. Lane's party?
28:49The nerve.
28:53Everyone knows.
28:54Ms. Lane is Mr. Brit's only love.
28:57If she's carrying his child,
29:00she's clearly the other woman.
29:03Holding a glass of water,
29:05I listen without flinching.
29:07Ms. Buckley.
29:08Wendy calls from the center of the hall.
29:11She grabs my hand
29:12and leads me forward.
29:13Ian stands there,
29:15looking calm.
29:16His gaze on me,
29:17faintly displeased.
29:19Hello, everyone.
29:20I've been gone a long time,
29:22but I've heard about Ms. Buckley.
29:25My health isn't great
29:27and she's carrying Ian's child.
29:30It's actually good news.
29:32Many women have tried to get close,
29:34but Ian always kept himself pure for me.
29:39Only Ms. Buckley used a baby
29:41to rise through the ranks.
29:43But Ms. Buckley,
29:44before I left,
29:45I heard you were passionately
29:47pursuing Aiden.
29:48Why the sudden shift toward Ian?
29:51Wendy's tone is gentle,
29:53yet every sentence stings.
29:55It's at odds with her soft demeanor.
29:58After that,
29:59she smiles and asks,
30:00Is the baby in your belly
30:02really Ian's?
30:04So Wendy doesn't believe me.
30:06So this is her plan.
30:07The last DNA test was rushed,
30:10and doubts about my baby
30:11never fully vanished.
30:13People whispered
30:14that the report might be fake.
30:16The baby in my belly sees.
30:18This scheming woman.
30:19She abandoned Dad back then.
30:22Now that he's successful,
30:23she wants the rewards.
30:25Let her try testing again.
30:27I'm your son,
30:28and Dad's.
30:30That's a fact.
30:31Let's see her next trick.
30:34Just then,
30:35Camila steps out,
30:36holding a report.
30:38She points at me,
30:39looking smug.
30:40Elaine,
30:41you're finished.
30:43I've got the DNA test report.
30:45The baby in your belly
30:46isn't a Brit at all.
30:48Before I could react,
30:49my baby's fury erupts first.
30:51That's impossible.
30:53I know for sure
30:54who my dad is.
30:56From behind Camila,
30:58Aiden smirks.
30:59Elaine,
31:00you went to all this trouble
31:02to climb the social ladder.
31:04You used my wedding
31:05to stage a fake DNA test
31:08to join the Brits.
31:10But karma is fast.
31:13Your tricks got exposed immediately.
31:16Once we run a real test,
31:18the truth will come out.
31:21You're a complete fraud
31:22who cheated on me for years.
31:25You canceled our wedding in public
31:28and tested with another man.
31:31You're truly shameless.
31:33The cameras keep flashing.
31:36Reporters broadcast me
31:37as a woman with no limits.
31:39Mom's eyes brim with disappointment.
31:42She shakes her head repeatedly.
31:48Camila throws the report at my face,
31:51grinning like she's won.
31:53See for yourself.
31:55You can't fool us.
31:56I quietly glance at Ian.
31:58He lifts an eyebrow
31:59and makes a slicing motion
32:01across his neck,
32:03threatening me.
32:04The Brit relatives who were warm
32:05immediately switch sides,
32:08rallying behind Wendy.
32:10Damn it.
32:11A fake dares to show up
32:13in the Brit family.
32:14Thinking she belongs here?
32:16We wasted time on her.
32:19Only Stephen stands firmly behind me.
32:22We don't know the result yet.
32:24Nobody can judge Ms. Buckley
32:25until we have the facts.
32:27I crouch to pick up the report
32:28and glance at Camila and Wendy.
32:31As I open the report,
32:32I smile.
32:33You're all in such a hurry
32:35that you didn't even read it.
32:38This DNA test
32:40isn't about my baby and Ian.
32:42Camila, it's for your baby with Theo.
32:45It says your baby
32:46has no blood relation to Theo.
32:50Camila's face drains of color.
32:52Her eyes widen.
32:53How?
32:54How is that possible?
32:55She snatches the report.
32:57When she sees her name
32:58paired with Theo's,
33:00she turns ghostly pale.
33:01Before she can explain,
33:03a hard slap sends her to the floor.
33:06Theo's expression darkens.
33:07As he yanks her by the hair,
33:09he growled.
33:10Who's the guy?
33:11Tell me!
33:12Camila grits her teeth,
33:14silent.
33:15But when Theo's fist lands,
33:17she finally breaks.
33:20Stop!
33:20I'll tell you!
33:22I'll tell you!
33:23It's Aiden!
33:25The room goes quiet.
33:27Camila has been with Aiden all along.
33:29Everything I said at the wedding
33:31was the truth.
33:32Exposed.
33:33Aiden tries to run,
33:35but Theo claps his hands,
33:37and bodyguards immediately grab him.
33:39How dare you betray me?
33:40You're asking for trouble.
33:42Theo's temper is notorious.
33:44His elite guards easily subdue Aiden and Camila.
33:47Camila, beaten and bloody,
33:50glares at me with pure hatred.
33:52Elaine,
33:54do you think Ian will marry you
33:55just because of that baby?
33:58He loves Wendy.
34:01You're nothing.
34:02I shrug,
34:04keeping a nonchalant expression.
34:06So what?
34:07I never said I had to marry him.
34:10We're all adults here.
34:11Love.
34:13Doesn't really matter.
34:14I was betrayed after eight years.
34:17Love isn't essential to me anymore.
34:20My baby is what matters.
34:22Way to go, Mom!
34:23Mom, that's the spirit.
34:25Why is Dad getting so mad?
34:29Perhaps my nonchalant attitude
34:31pricked Ian's pride.
34:33He suddenly hugs me.
34:35Sorry to disappoint.
34:37Who says I won't marry her?
34:40Wendy stares in disbelief.
34:43Ian,
34:44how could you do this to me?
34:47Ian replies calmly.
34:49We broke up a long time ago.
34:52Then why go abroad to find me?
34:56Ian frowns.
34:58Did you misunderstand something?
35:01I was only there on business.
35:03He leans in and whispers.
35:06I underestimated you.
35:08I thought you were a pushover.
35:11Yay!
35:12Mom and Dad are finally together.
35:14I can come into the world.
35:16My baby is so excited.
35:18Steven beams with joy
35:20and takes out a gift box.
35:22Inside is an emerald bracelet.
35:24A Brit family heirloom.
35:26Wear this.
35:27Carrying my grandchild.
35:29Must have been so hard for you.
35:31I try to refuse,
35:32but Ian forces it onto my wrist.
35:34Since you're my wife,
35:36just keep it.
35:37I can't refuse.
35:39In front of everyone.
35:40So I accept it reluctantly.
35:42I feel no affection for Ian.
35:45I only see him as my lifesaver.
35:47Things have settled down.
35:49When Ian is done with everything,
35:51I pack my bags,
35:52ready to leave.
35:53Confused,
35:54Ian frowns and blocks my path.
35:56What are you doing?
35:58You just accepted my proposal.
36:00Now you're abandoning me?
36:02I shake my head.
36:04Mr. Brit,
36:05as you know,
36:06this was just a deal from the start.
36:10That one night
36:11was an accident.
36:13You don't love me,
36:15and I don't love you.
36:17Let's end it here.
36:20Ian looks surprised
36:21and grips my waist.
36:23Who says I don't love you?
36:25This time,
36:25I'm confused.
36:27How can you love a one-night stand?
36:29But we already have a baby.
36:32That's not the product of love.
36:34Seeing I won't be swayed,
36:36Ian realizes how stubborn I am.
36:38I don't care for jewelry
36:39or purses.
36:41What little sincerity I had
36:42is gone as well.
36:43My baby giggles inside my belly.
36:46Yeah!
36:47Torture dad,
36:47just like that.
36:48He had it coming.
36:50True to his word,
36:51Ian begins a relentless pursuit.
36:53From that moment on,
36:55everyone in Drago realized
36:56that the cold air
36:58isn't so cold.
37:00In front of his fiancée,
37:01he's basically a loyal puppy.
37:04When will you actually marry me?
37:06Ian asks helplessly
37:08after his 99th failed proposal.
37:10In front of me,
37:11his patience is as wide as the ocean.
37:14I think for a moment,
37:16caressing my growing belly.
37:18I haven't heard my baby's thoughts
37:20in a while.
37:20I know.
37:21He's coming soon.
37:23For the baby's sake
37:24and the future,
37:25I glance at Ian.
37:26Say that again.
37:29Ian freezes,
37:30then pulls me into a kiss.
37:32I said,
37:33will you marry me?
37:35Grow old with me
37:37and be buried by my side?
37:39I finally nod.
37:41I do.
