Short filmTranscript
00:00My lawyer husband, Marcus, sent the woman he'd spoiled for two years to prison.
00:05Then, he switched his testimony at court.
00:08I'm testifying on behalf of Jade.
00:10The one who ran over my in-laws is my wife, Evelyn.
00:14Those words got me six years.
00:17I was innocent.
00:18I kept filing appeals from inside.
00:20In return, he hired men to break my leg, slash my face, and gouge out my right eye.
00:26I lived worse than a rat in the gutter.
00:28When he picked me up on release day, he wrapped an arm around my shoulder like nothing had happened.
00:33Jade is young.
00:35She can't waste her best years in a cell.
00:37You're different.
00:37Six years is nothing.
00:39It passed in the blink of a eye.
00:41As long as you stop making trouble for her, I'll treat you well again.
00:44Isn't that enough?
00:45I picked up my phone and texted a man.
00:48I'll marry you, but I have one condition.
00:50I need you to kill someone for me.
00:52His reply came instantly.
00:54Sure.
00:54Name.
00:55Marcus and Jade.
00:56Done.
00:57I'll pick you up in a week.
00:58Their heads will be my wedding gift to you.
01:01I turned off the phone and shoved Marcus off me.
01:03What's wrong?
01:04Evelyn, I know you're upset about my testimony.
01:06But Jade is still young.
01:08Prison would ruin her.
01:09You've risked your life for me so many times before.
01:12I'm not asking you to die this time.
01:13What is the big deal about six years in a cell?
01:16I clenched my fists so tight and my nails dug into my palms.
01:20He knew perfectly well who Jade had killed.
01:23She hadn't hit strangers.
01:25She killed my adoptive parents.
01:28They raised me.
01:29They're my only family.
01:31Before we married, I told him.
01:33I grew up in foster care.
01:35If my adoptive parents hadn't taken me in, I might not have survived at all.
01:40Let alone marry you.
01:41Back then, his eyes turned red with emotion.
01:45He held me tight and made a vow.
01:47I'll take care of you in their place.
01:49Your parents are my parents.
01:52I will make you happy for the rest of your life.
01:54But later, after Marcus and I had a fight, my parents came to pick me up.
01:59On the way home, Jade was drunk driving.
02:02She hit them.
02:03Dragged them 200 feet along the road.
02:06They died at the scene.
02:07Marcus swore.
02:11Dear, the person responsible would face justice.
02:14But the moment he found out it was Jade, he changed his testimony.
02:18I looked at him with tear-filled eyes.
02:20Marcus, Jade killed my parents!
02:23You were my defense attorney.
02:26You didn't just change your testimony.
02:28You manipulated the media to make everyone believe I was the killer.
02:32You protected the real culprit.
02:36Six years have passed.
02:38Do you feel no guilt at all?
02:40Hearing my accusations, Jade quickly hid in Marcus's arms.
02:45Her eyes welled up, as if she'd been terribly wronged.
02:48I know you hate me for killing your parents, but I didn't do it on purpose.
02:55Why were they so unlucky to walk in front of my car when I was drunk?
02:59She pulled a small knife from her bag and pressed it to her wrist.
03:02If you still blame me, I can only pay with my life.
03:09Marcus snatched the knife away and pulled her into his arms.
03:12He turned to look at me.
03:13Jade has suffered just as much as you these past six years.
03:18To make it up to your parents, she volunteers at a charity in their name every week.
03:23Do you really have to be this aggressive?
03:25My already dead heart felt like it was being crushed all over again.
03:30I was the one who lost my parents.
03:33I was the one who spent years in prison.
03:35And he thought I was the aggressive one.
03:38Did he forget?
03:39When I was falsely imprisoned, I begged everywhere for a lawyer to appeal my case.
03:44In return, he ordered men to torture me.
03:47They used a rusted spoon to gouge out my eye and inserted a steel pipe into my leg.
03:52They used a blade to slash my face and forced my head down to drink toilet water.
03:57Their leader spat on me with a warning.
04:01Mr. Marcus orders.
04:04If you don't learn to behave, he doesn't mind turning your sense into life.
04:09I curled up alone in a dark corner.
04:11My body ached, but my heart ached far more.
04:15I stood by Marcus for four years, yet it couldn't compare to the two months Jade was by his side.
04:21She said she was scared, so he forged evidence.
04:23She said she didn't want him to see me, so he'd never show up.
04:27So many times I want to end it all.
04:29But the growing hatred in my chest told me I couldn't die yet.
04:33If I died, I couldn't avenge my parents, nor myself.
04:36Thinking of this, I couldn't bear it anymore.
04:39I walked right up to Jade and slapped her hard.
04:45Jade covered her face and screamed.
04:48Marcus grabbed my wrist viciously.
04:50Evelyn, are you crazy?
04:53Didn't she want to apologize?
04:56Her death is the only apology to my parents.
05:10It seems six years of punishment was far from enough.
05:13How dare you lay a hand on Jade?
05:16Don't forget, I bailed you out two months early.
05:19I can throw you right back in.
05:21He picked Jade up in his arms and walked away.
05:23Never looking back at me, even once.
05:26I lay on the floor watching them leave.
05:28Suddenly noticing that my left eye was starting to blur as well.
05:34That night, I drafted a divorce agreement.
05:37I followed my memory to Marcus' villa and pushed the door open.
05:41Marcus, sign the papers.
05:43Let's stop entangling with each other.
05:45He picked Jade up in his arms and walked away.
05:48Never looking back at me, even once.
05:50I lay on the floor watching them leave, suddenly noticing that my left eye was starting to blur as well.
05:56That night, I drafted a divorce agreement.
05:58I followed my memory to Marku's villa and pushed the door open.
06:02A birthday party was in full swing inside.
06:05Seeing me enter, everyone stopped to stare and whisper.
06:08Hey, isn't that the wife of Marcus the killer?
06:10Look what she's become.
06:12She's on crutches and she seems to be blind.
06:14Karma.
06:15Evelyn ran over her own parents and tried to frame Jade.
06:18But Marcus is an upright lawyer.
06:20He exposed her in the final trial.
06:22She must have been beaten up in there.
06:23Serves her right.
06:24Jade covered her mouth and giggled.
06:27She walked up to me with fake surprise.
06:30Evelyn, why didn't you tell us you were coming?
06:33Marcus is holding a birthday party for me.
06:35You aren't mad, are you?
06:37But I stared at her haute couture dress.
06:40While Marku bought Jade luxury brands, I was starving in prison.
06:44In the bitter cold, I washed clothes by hand just to get a thin blanket.
06:48Six years passed.
06:49Jade was as beautiful as ever.
06:51Meanwhile, my leg was broken.
06:53My eye was blind and my parents were dead.
06:56All of this was thanks to Marku.
06:58I pulled out the divorce agreement, slapped it onto the table and said coldly,
07:04Marcus, sign the papers.
07:06Let's stop entangling with each other.
07:08Marku stared at me in shock, then let out a laugh.
07:11Evelyn, are you still living six years ago?
07:13Open your eyes and look at yourself.
07:16A blind cripple?
07:18A murderer who killed her own parents?
07:20Who else would want you but me?
07:22I let out a short, bitter laugh.
07:24Years ago, when he was taken hostage by a defendant's family, I went in alone to get
07:29him out.
07:30I was stabbed badly enough.
07:32I paid the price.
07:33I could never have children for the price.
07:35When he asked why I'd risked my life, I told him he was my only family besides my parents.
07:41Of course, family knows exactly where it hurts the most.
07:44My scars didn't make him protect me.
07:46They became his sharpest weapon against me.
07:49You know exactly if I am the killer or not, Marcus!
07:52I shot back sharply.
07:53Murmurs spread through the crowd.
07:55Marcus's face darkened, and he rushed to correct me.
07:58The judge convicted you!
07:59You did it.
08:01Are you still trying to deny it?
08:03Jade panicked.
08:04She ran to my side, grabbing my hand with tearful eyes.
08:08I know you failed to frame me back then.
08:10But Marcus just wanted to celebrate my birthday.
08:12He pitied me for working so hard in this big city.
08:16If you are upset, I'll leave.
08:19Please don't fight with Marcus because of me.
08:22The words landed like a bomb, sending shockwaves through the crowd.
08:26Evelyn is such a bitch.
08:28How dare she bully Jade right in front of us?
08:31Sears in prison, and she's still this ungrateful.
08:34God knows how she abused Jade before.
08:36I ignored their insults.
08:37Instead, my eyes widened as I stared at Jade's wrist.
08:42It was a silver bracelet.
08:43It was my 18th birthday gift.
08:46Dad worked months for it.
08:48My initials were engraved on the back.
08:50I searched everywhere for it before going to prison.
08:54But now, it was on Jade's wrist.
08:56I grabbed Jade's arm and demanded,
08:58Where did you get this?
09:00This is mine!
09:01Give it back!
09:03She dropped to her knees, tears streaming down her face.
09:08Evelyn, please let me go!
09:10I can give you anything else.
09:13But Marcus gave me this bracelet for my birthday.
09:16It's very important to me.
09:18Marcus, do you know that was my father's last relic?
09:22How could you give it to Jade without my permission?
09:25Marcus looked slightly awkward for a second.
09:28But taking advantage of the push, Jade screamed and threw herself backward.
09:33The back of her head slammed into the coffee table edge, blood pouring out.
09:38Marcus lost his mind instantly.
09:41He rushed to pull Jade up, then kicked my broken leg with all his strength.
09:46It's just a bracelet.
09:47Are you really losing your mind over this and hurting Jade?
09:52He grabbed the divorce agreement and quickly signed his name.
09:56You want a divorce?
09:57I will grant it.
09:58Don't you ever come crawling back begging me.
10:01I sat paralyzed on the floor, stared at him with red eyes.
10:06Marcus threw the signed papers hard into my face.
10:09How ironic.
10:10During my six years in prison, I sent him divorce papers countless times, but he never signed.
10:16The divorce I couldn't get for six years was finally granted.
10:20It just because Jade got a tiny scratch.
10:22I gritted my teeth and used my crutch to stand up.
10:25Marcus threw the bracelet at my feet.
10:27Take your trash and get out.
10:30Don't ever appear in Jade and me again.
10:32I said nothing.
10:33I silently picked up the bracelet, held it to my chest, and turned to leave.
10:38Hey!
10:39Since you are no longer Mrs. Marcus, we have nothing to worry about now.
10:45You killed your own parents.
10:46We've wanted to beat you up for a long time.
10:49You think you can just walk away?
10:51I frowned and tried to fight back.
10:53I didn't.
10:56Shut up, bitch!
10:58Don't you dare talk back.
11:00Someone kicked me hard in the lower back, and I crashed to the floor.
11:05I should have beat you to death before you went to prison.
11:09A man pinned me down and slapped me hard.
11:12Blood ran from my ears and nose.
11:17I glanced at Marku from the corner of my eye.
11:19He was holding Jade in his arms, watching me get beaten.
11:23Mr. Marcus, you don't mind if we teach Evelyn a lesson, right?
11:29No.
11:30If you beat her to dead, I will defend you in court.
11:34He knew I'd just been released, bruised all over.
11:37I couldn't fight them.
11:38I stared at him as tears slid down.
11:41The last trace of hope I'd held for him was gone.
11:43I closed my eyes, preparing to welcome my death, but then he spoke again.
11:49Evelyn, I will give you one last chance.
11:51Admit your mistake, and I'll make them stop.
11:53I made no mistake.
11:55As they kicked and punched me from all sides, I felt bones break and teeth come loose.
12:00But I kept my head up and looked straight at him, word by word.
12:04The only mistake I ever made in my life was falling in love with you!
12:09He knew I'd just been released, bruised all over.
12:12I couldn't fight them.
12:13I stared at him as tears slid down.
12:16The last trace of hope I'd held for him was gone.
12:19I closed my eyes, preparing to welcome my death.
12:23But then he spoke again.
12:25Evelyn, I will give you one last chance.
12:28Admit your mistake, and I'll make them stop.
12:30I made no mistake.
12:32As they kicked and punched me from all sides, I felt bones break and teeth come loose.
12:38But I kept my head up and looked straight at him, word by word.
12:43The only mistake I ever made in my life was falling in love with you!
12:47Marcus, live for life!
12:50You'll get what you deserve!
12:51His patience ran out.
12:53You've got guts, Evelyn.
12:55Let's see if you can stay stubborn forever.
12:57He picked Jade up and left the house to rush her to the hospital.
13:00Before leaving, Jade picked up my bracelet and threw it out the window with a smirk.
13:05Outside, it was crushed by countless passing cars.
13:08I tried to get up, but they pulled me back down and beat me even harder.
13:12I passed out, woke up, and passed out again.
13:15When I finally woke up for the last time, the villa was empty.
13:18The floor was covered in my blood.
13:20My skull was dented.
13:21My clothes were stripped off.
13:22And every bone in my body felt broken.
13:25Even with my crutch, I couldn't stand up.
13:27Laying flat on the floor, I dragged my body inch by inch.
13:31Even if I died, I refused to die in this house.
13:34But Jade returned.
13:39Since Marcus was gone, she finally stopped pretending.
13:42How did the group beating feel, Evelyn?
13:48Do you know what my biggest regret is?
13:50I regret that I didn't make Marcus kill you in jail.
13:53Six years have passed, and you are still a threat to me.
13:56But it's fine.
13:57I will finish the job right now.
13:59What are you doing?
14:01Marcus!
14:02Live for a life!
14:03You'll get what you deserve!
14:05His patience ran out.
14:07You've got guts, Evelyn.
14:09Let's see if you can stay stubborn forever.
14:11He picked Jade up and left the house to rush her to the hospital.
14:15Before leaving, Jade picked up my bracelet and threw it out the window with a smirk.
14:20Outside, it was crushed by countless passing cars.
14:23I tried to get up, but they pulled me back down and beat me even harder.
14:28I passed out.
14:29Woke up.
14:29And passed out again.
14:31When I finally woke up for the last time, the villa was empty.
14:35The floor was covered in my blood.
14:36My skull was dented.
14:38My clothes were stripped off.
14:40And every bone in my body felt broken.
14:42Even with my crutch, I couldn't stand up.
14:45Laying flat on the floor, I dragged my body inch by inch.
14:49Even if I died, I refused to die in this house.
14:53But Jade returned.
14:58Since Marcus was gone, she finally stopped pretending.
15:01How did the group beating feel, Evelyn?
15:08Do you know what my biggest regret is?
15:10I regret that I didn't make Marcus kill you in jail.
15:13Six years have passed, and you are still a threat to me.
15:17But it's fine.
15:18I will finish the job right now.
15:21What are you doing?
15:21Since you're dying, I don't mind telling you.
15:25I wasn't drunk that night six years ago.
15:28But I have to admit your parents were tough.
15:30They didn't die right away.
15:32Not even after being dragged that far.
15:34When I got out of the car, they even asked me to give you a message.
15:39I almost lost my mind and cried badly.
15:41My parents, what did they say?
15:44Jade leaned close to my ear and my parents' final words with delight.
15:49I went pale and stood frozen in shock.
15:52That's impossible!
15:54Believe it or not, you're going to die anyway.
15:58Jade clapped her hands in disgust, then tossed her burning cigarette onto the curtains.
16:03Fire instantly erupted inside the villa.
16:05Then, she left me in the spreading fire.
16:08Have a good trip to hell, Evelyn.
16:09The fire swallowed me.
16:12The pain was unbearable.
16:14Just as I accepted my fate, a voice pulled me back.
16:17Evelyn!
16:18I forced my eyes open.
16:20Through the smoke, I saw Roman.
16:21He was tall, wearing a brown trench coat, and rushed anxiously toward me.
16:26He ignored the sparks on his clothes.
16:28Seeing my battered body, his eyes reddened.
16:31He held me tight, struggling to hold back his distress.
16:34His voice was ruthless, yet so incredibly gentle.
16:38Evelyn.
16:39I am here to save you.
16:41Hold on.
16:43In that moment, I knew.
16:44Roman had finally come.
16:46I gathered all my strength to open my eyes, met Roman's beautiful ones, and asked him,
16:52Roman, what took you so long?
16:54It hurt.
16:55Suddenly, his tears fell on my palm.
16:58It's my fault.
16:59I came too late.
17:02Let me get you out first.
17:03Your injuries are too severe.
17:05Don't move.
17:05His voice cracked with a heavy sob.
17:07Unable to endure the agony any longer, I collapsed into his chest and lost consciousness.
17:12Meanwhile, Marcus sat alone in his office, staring blankly out the floor-to-ceiling window.
17:18The cigarette had burned down to his fingers, but he felt nothing.
17:22His assistant knocked and entered.
17:24Seeing the ash-covered floor, he said, hesitated.
17:27Mr. Marcus, Miss Jade has been taken care of.
17:30It's a mild concussion, and she just needs observation for a few days.
17:33Marcus didn't turn around.
17:35He simply...
17:36The assistant hesitated again before speaking.
17:39Mr. Marcus, the villa...
17:42It caught fire.
17:43Marcus whipped around instantly.
17:45Fire?
17:45What happened?
17:46Where is Evelyn?
17:47The fire is severe.
17:49The firefighters are still putting it out.
17:52Miss Evelyn was apparently still inside.
17:54In that second, Marcus felt like he was about to lose something.
17:57He charged out of the office, pushed his car to its limit.
18:00After running countless red lights, he finally reached the villa.
18:04The once-magnificent house was now swallowed by a roaring inferno.
18:08Thick black smoke billowed into the sky,
18:10and the wail of fire engines mixed with the blast of high-pressure water hoses.
18:15Marcus threw his door open, rushed into the flames,
18:18but firefighters grabbed him and held him back.
18:21Sir, the fire is too big.
18:23You cannot go in.
18:25Let me go!
18:27My wife is inside!
18:29There is someone inside?
18:31When we got the call, they said everyone had been evacuated.
18:34It hit Marcus like a bolt of lightning.
18:37Evelyn!
18:39Evelyn!
18:40The only answer was the violent crackle of burning wood.
18:43The crowd outside whispered, and someone recognized him.
18:47Isn't that Marcus, the top lawyer?
18:49Serves her right.
18:50Retribution.
18:51Even God couldn't stand her.
18:53The world's better off without her.
18:55These four sentences are spoken by different groups.
18:57The words cut into him like poisoned blades.
19:00For the first time, he felt disgust and rage toward this self-righteous crowd.
19:04The firefighters finally controlled the blaze.
19:07They moved inside to search for survivors.
19:09Marcus stared at the entrance.
19:11Finally, the rescue team emerged carrying a stretcher, covered by a white sheet.
19:15Marcus' breath stopped for a second.
19:17Step by step, he walked over with a stiff body and trembling hands.
19:21He wanted to lift the sheet.
19:22My condolences, sir.
19:24Marcus lifted.
19:24He saw a melted, bloated plastic mannequin.
19:27Marcus froze.
19:28Thank goodness.
19:29It's not her.
19:30After a closer inspection, the firefighter looked embarrassed.
19:34I apologize, sir.
19:35We found no victim inside.
19:37The house is empty.
19:38Marcus completely stunned.
19:40Evelyn!
19:42Evelyn!
19:43The only answer was the violent crackle of burning wood.
19:47The crowd outside whispered, and someone recognized him.
19:51Isn't that Marcus, the top lawyer?
19:54Serves her right.
19:55Retribution.
19:56Even God couldn't stand her.
19:58The world's better off without her.
20:00These four sentences are spoken by different groups.
20:03The words cut into him like poisoned blades.
20:06For the first time, he felt disgust and rage toward this self-righteous crowd.
20:10The firefighters finally controlled the blaze.
20:13They moved inside to search for survivors.
20:16Marcus stared at the entrance.
20:18Finally, the rescue team emerged carrying a stretcher, covered by a white sheet.
20:22Marcus's breath stopped for a second.
20:25Step by step, he walked over with a stiff body and trembling hands.
20:29He wanted to lift the sheet.
20:30My condolences, sir.
20:32Marcus lifted.
20:33He saw a melted, bloated plastic mannequin.
20:35Marcus froze.
20:37Thank goodness.
20:38It's not her.
20:39After a closer inspection, the firefighter looked embarrassed.
20:44I apologize, sir.
20:45We found no victim inside.
20:47The house is empty.
20:48Marcus completely stunned.
20:50One month passed.
20:52Marcus used every contact he had and turned the entire city upside down, but he found nothing.
20:58No trace of me was ever found.
21:00Neither alive nor dead.
21:02At the same time, his law firm began to collapse.
21:05Major long-term clients suddenly terminated their contracts without warning, moved to rival firms.
21:11His top lawyers were hit with massive scandals or poached.
21:15His old cases were dug up, and his rivals dragged him down in the press.
21:19Someone targeted his firm stock, wiping out nearly a third of its market value.
21:24He was overwhelmed and trapped on all sides.
21:26I knew exactly who did this.
21:28It was Roman.
21:29In this city, only Roman possessed that kind of power.
21:34Feeling entirely numb, Marcus drove back to his villa.
21:37As he kicked through the ash and shattered bricks, a flattened piece of silver caught his eye.
21:43He crouched down and picked it up carefully.
21:45The silver had lost all its shine, but he still saw my initials carved inside.
21:50In that moment, his heart felt pain.
21:52It was her most precious possession, one she'd worn for years and never taken off.
21:57Yet after she was sent to prison, she wrote him countless letters for begging the bracelet.
22:02It's just a piece of trash, so what if it's lost?
22:06Jade likes it, let her play with it.
22:08Don't you owe her enough?
22:10But now, holding the twisted silver in his hand, it burned his palm.
22:17Marcus?
22:18Marcus instantly squeezed the bracelet tight in his fist, buried all his emotions, and turned around.
22:24Jade stood a few feet away, wearing a pure white dress.
22:28Why are you here?
22:29It is so dirty.
22:31She frowned, walking closer to hook his arm.
22:34Marcus flinched away instinctively.
22:37Jade's hand hung in mid-air.
22:40Marcus, are you too tired lately?
22:44You look terrible.
22:46I heard about the firm.
22:48Don't worry too much.
22:50Bad day.
22:52Are you absolutely sure everyone was out before you called the fire department?
22:56Jade's heart skipped a beat.
23:01Marcus, are you suspecting me?
23:03It was chaos.
23:05It was chaos.
23:06I was dizzy, and I only focused on calling the fire treaps.
23:10I really thought everyone had gotten out.
23:13I had no idea Evelyn hated me so much.
23:18She'd actually burn herself alive just to get back at us.
23:21Peers rolled down her cheeks.
23:23In the past, Marcus would have softened and comfort her.
23:27But right now, watching her cry, his mind flashed back to my hostile eyes the last time I looked at
23:33him.
23:33Really?
23:36I checked the phone records.
23:39The fire raged for hours before the call was made.
23:43Jade stopped crying instantly, her face turning pale.
23:46Marcus, you investigated me?
23:50I just want the truth.
23:52Marcus took a step forward, glaring at her.
23:54Tell me, how did the fire start?
23:58Where is Evelyn?
24:00Crushed by his pressure, Jade had...
24:02The truth is, Evelyn set the fire herself!
24:05She was crazy and jealous of us!
24:08How would I know where she went?
24:10Maybe she didn't die!
24:11Maybe she ran off with some men!
24:13She was never a good woman!
24:15Man?
24:16Realizing her mistake, Jade tried to fix it.
24:19I am just guessing!
24:21Otherwise, how could she vanish into thin air with injuries that bad?
24:24Marcus, why do you take her side over mine?
24:27She's a killer!
24:31Marcus, are you...
24:32Regretting it?
24:35A violent cramp seized Marcus' heart, and he could barely breathe.
24:39His face went pale as he stumbled back a step, holding the bracelet tightly.
24:44Marcus!
24:45What's wrong?
24:45Don't scare me!
24:49Jade.
24:50Jade.
24:52From now on, you're not to come here without my permission.
24:56Jade completely lost her mind.
24:58Why, Marcus?
25:00Is it because of Evelyn?
25:01She is dead!
25:03Are you abandoning me for a dead woman?
25:04She is not dead!
25:07I will find her.
25:08Without sparing Jade another glance, he walked away.
25:11One month later, in a suburban mansion, Roman brought in the best medical team.
25:15I went through one rehabilitation surgery after another.
25:18I could walk with a limp, without crutches.
25:21My eyes and skin healed quickly.
25:23However, the nightmares never stopped.
25:25I always remembered that fire.
25:27My parents' final words.
25:29You don't know, do you?
25:31Your adoptive parents were actually your biological parents.
25:34They went on a top-secret mission, which is why they left you at the orphanage.
25:39You have no family left in this world.
25:41Are you happy?
25:43For so many years, I blamed my biological parents.
25:46I hated them for abandoning me at the orphanage.
25:49I wondered if they stopped loving me or they have their difficulties.
25:53If Jade had never told me the truth, I could have kept dreaming about them.
25:57But now, the illusion was shattered.
25:59Roman walked over with a glass of warm milk.
26:01He pulled me into his arms, speaking with deep concern.
26:05You haven't been sleeping well lately.
26:08Drink some milk before bed.
26:10It will help.
26:11I grabbed his wrist, stared seriously into his eyes, and asked,
26:15Roman, why are you so good to me?
26:18He visibly froze for a second.
26:20Then, he reached out and rubbed my head.
26:23Because I fell in love with you at first sight in the orphanage.
26:28What?
26:29I was an orphan too.
26:30I was isolated, and no one wanted to play with me.
26:33But you stepped up when I was being bullied.
26:36You saved me.
26:37From that moment on, I swore I would marry you.
26:39No matter the cost, by any means necessary.
26:42But when I finally built my empire, I found out you had already married Marcus.
26:47My timing was terrible.
26:49But thankfully, the timing is perfect now.
26:54You never told me any of this.
26:57Because I didn't want to ruin your life.
26:59Maybe it's my personality, but when I love someone,
27:02I feel more fear than courage.
27:05I'm a coward.
27:08If I hadn't been so late, you wouldn't have suffered so much.
27:13It is my fault.
27:16In that exact second, all my years of suffering finally found an exit.
27:21I didn't know how long I cried.
27:23I only remember Roman wiping my tears, again and again.
27:28Marcus found this place.
27:29He wants to see you.
27:30He's been asking about you.
27:33Do you want to meet him?
27:34Roman hesitated slightly.
27:36He said he cleared your name.
27:37Jade was sentenced to life in prison for intentional homicide and hit and run.
27:42His law firm is bankrupt.
27:44He said he wants one last chance to make it up to you.
27:47To start over.
27:49Hearing this, I only felt it ridiculous.
27:52Marcus had countless chances before.
27:54Yet he chose the only moment when nothing could be saved.
27:57This is a disaster.
28:00Marcus, Marcus, Marcus.
28:02Marcus, Marcus, Marcus.
28:04Marcus, Marcus, Marcus.
28:06She was too noisy, completely incompetent, and messed up even the simplest cases.
28:11But eventually, he started talking about her.
28:13All the time.
28:15Marcus, can we not talk about Jade today?
28:18I had gathered the courage to ask, but he had sneered at me in response.
28:23Jade was right.
28:24You only care about yourself.
28:26You never want to listen to my life.
28:29He slammed the door and left that night.
28:31We didn't talk for a month until I finally broke the ice and apologized first.
28:36But my weakness became his ultimate weapon.
28:38Thinking of this, I looked at Roman and answered with absolute certainty.
28:43There is no need to see him.
28:44From now on, there was nothing between us.
28:48He is he.
28:49I am me.
29:04I'm me.
29:07Gracias.
29:37Gracias.
30:07Gracias.
