00:062am. The phone rings. Bring me some condoms. I'm at his door, soaked to the bone. He stares
00:12at my wet clothes. Who told you to be a good girl? I hand him the bag. I've loved him
00:17for
00:17seven long years, but his first love is back. He's planning to have sex with her, and he
00:22told me to bring him some condoms. Here are the magnums you wanted. He brushes my knuckles
00:26with his thumb. Isabella is not here yet. Why don't we use them first? I freeze, then
00:31he laughs. Just kidding. I'm not that much of a jerk. I set up a blind date for you next
00:37week. You've been with me for years. I don't want you to feel you'll go, right? His eyes
00:41are cold. I know the truth. His true love is coming back. He's disposing of me before she
00:47arrives. I clench my fists. Just send me the address. Sir. He flinches at the word, sir.
00:55I turn to leave. Wait. He wraps a Burberry shawl around me. Don't leave tonight. But isn't
01:03someone else coming? You actually believe that? Do you think I'm just some total scumbag?
01:08Who else has there been but you? He carries me to the bed. This is the last time. Isabella
01:14is coming home tomorrow. I don't want her to suspect a thing. So be a good girl. Go to that
01:19date. The mask is finally off. He's choosing her. I don't say a word. 2 a.m.
01:25The phone rang. James is a literal machine. They say men slow down after 25. With him?
01:32That's a total lie. The sun was already coming up. He finally finished and hit the shower.
01:37I grabbed my clothes and headed out. That's our unwritten rule. He hates sleeping next to
01:41anyone. For 5 years no matter how tired. I always crawled to the guest room. Next morning
01:47he was back from the gym. I rushed downstairs.
01:53I saved some breakfast for you. No time. I'll miss my bus. I can just drive you. He said.
01:59No. I blurted out. My promotion results come out today. I can't be seen in your car. Otherwise
02:05they'll think I slept my way to the top. The room went dead silent. He stopped and let out
02:09a cold laugh. Fine. Suit yourself. He handed me a business card. Your blind date for next
02:15week. My head started spinning. One night made me almost forget. I came here to end this
02:20mess. The reason I agreed to drop off condoms last night was to end our 5 year messy relationship.
02:25I didn't want to seem desperate. I took the card. The edges stung. Okay. I whispered. I'll go.
02:34James. I've lived at James' house every weekend for years. Back then I'd carry heavy bags of
02:41clothes. He built me a walk-in closet just to keep me around. But today I'm packing it all up.
02:47My pink slippers. My pajamas. Everything is gone. James just leaned against the door.
02:52Watching. We're just boss and employee now. He let out a cold, sharp laugh.
02:58Don't worry. He smirked. I won't make things hard for you at work.
03:03I rushed to my desk just before 10 a.m. My co-worker bought me a congrats coffee.
03:09Don't forget us when you're the director. I blushed. The results aren't even out.
03:15You deserve it. You worked the hardest. Five years of hard work. It's yours.
03:19I didn't hold back and smiled at the whole team. If I win, expensive sushi is on me.
03:26The whole office started cheering. Three minutes left. I refreshed my email. Then the notification
03:36popped up. We regret to inform you. Promotion denied. My mind went completely blank. The team
03:43crowded around. Then dead silence. HR walked in with a woman in white. This is Isabella,
03:53our new director, personally appointed by the James. I looked up and stopped breathing. She
04:00looked exactly like the photo. The one James kept hidden in his wallet. I felt like I had a heavy
04:07flu. I walked to James's office like a robot. I couldn't stop wiping away my tears. I knocked.
04:16Come in. Why? I asked, my voice trembling. What? So many positions in this company. Why did you give
04:26Isabella my promotion? He finally looked at me. She wanted it. Just because she wanted it? What of the
04:32seven years I gave you in your company? I almost died on that Africa assignment. James stood up and
04:39walked toward me. Claire, this is reality. I decide everything. I just wanted fairness. He let out a
04:45cool, low laugh. Fairness? You want to talk about fairness? If we didn't sleep together, you'd be
04:52nothing. You took the shortcut. Now you want fairness? His words felt like a slap to my face. I worked
04:58my
04:58heart out for seven years. I pushed myself every single day. I had to prove I belonged here. But
05:04he was right. I got into company because of him. That's how this all started. He gave it to me
05:09when
05:09he wanted to, and threw me away when he didn't. I have no right to talk about fairness.
05:18So I'm done. I'm quitting today. I felt like meeting James was like a scene from a bad movie.
05:26I moved to New York right after graduation. My boyfriend cheated and moved on instantly.
05:31I was drowning in stress and heartbreak. So I went to a bar to drink the pain away. I had
05:36never had
05:37that much alcohol before. I drank until I completely lost my mind. Usually I'm too shy to talk to
05:43strangers. But that night I hit on the hottest guy there. That guy, was James. He looked like a star
05:49on
05:49a magazine cover. He was cold and kept rejecting everyone. Do you want to come home with me? But I
05:56walked right up and sat next to him. He took a sip and let out a low laugh. I've never
06:01met anyone as
06:02bold as you. We spent the night in my tiny apartment. It was an experience like never before.
06:09It was so beautiful, I completely lost myself. I thought I'd never see him again. I was wrong.
06:18The next day I went to the interview. I looked up and saw him in a sharp suit. My heart
06:24almost
06:24jumped out of my chest. I recognized him instantly but stayed calm. A few hours later I got the job
06:30offer. On my first day he cornered me in the elevator. Claire, right? Can you handle a physical
06:36lonely relationship? I'm usually conservative but his eyes were deep. I, I can do that, I whispered.
06:46The moment I said it I knew I was screwed. I fell for him hopelessly. By day he was my
06:53boss. By night my
06:54lover. He gave me money, jewelry, and expensive bags. But he also taught me everything about work.
07:08I actually started to hope he'd love me back. But today the fairy tale finally died. I was kicked
07:16out like a total fool. I finally realized the painful truth. If it's not meant to be yours,
07:23it never will be. Since I didn't get promoted, I don't even need his signature to quit. I went to
07:32HR and quit in minutes. Diana, the HR director, gave me a hug. Thanks for everything Diana. Can you do
07:41me a huge favor? Keep my resignation a secret for now. I don't want anyone to know I'm gone. She
07:51is
07:51the only one who knows about me and James. I promise. Since... After work, my grandma called
08:00me. Sweetie, did you get the promotion? You said I'd be the first to know. My throat tightened. I
08:07couldn't stop crying. Grandma, I'm leaving the New York. The line went silent for a second.
08:15That's great. I missed you so much. Come home. I'll cook your favorite food.
08:21I started to sob uncontrollably. I knew she was just comforting me. She used to brag about
08:28my city job. I wanted to buy her a house here. My dream was so beautiful. My dream was so
08:37beautiful.
08:39But reality was just too cruel. I couldn't sleep that night. So I started scrolling.
08:47At 2.10am I saw it. A local post. He still loves holding me in his sleep. James' hand was
08:54around
08:54her waist. Then I saw the Cartier ring. My heart literally stopped. I knew that ring better than
09:02anyone. I saved for months to buy it for him. You don't need to buy me gifts you can't afford.
09:10There's really no point. But you deserve the best. He kissed me and looked so in love. Given our
09:15relationship, I didn't think James would actually wear this ring. The next day he wore it to work.
09:20He even smirked and flashed it at me. Every female colleague in the office was gossiping.
09:27God he looked so good. It hurt. Now that ring is on another girl's photo. They look so perfect
09:34together. It hit me all of a sudden. The person he's willing to hold. Was never me.
09:47One week left until I quit. Then Isabella showed up at the cafe. She threw a bag with a hair
09:53strand on
09:54the table. I found this in James' guest room. So you're the side piece. Before I could speak,
10:00ice cold coffee hit my face. Then came the slap. Hard. She hissed. How can you just be cheap? I
10:06went
10:06to swing back, but my wrist was caught. It was James. He didn't even look at me. Get in the
10:13car,
10:13Isabella. I'll handle this. You replaced me after six months? Isabella was sobbing. Once she left,
10:24James' eyes turned cold as ice. Did I not tell you never about her ass? I pulled away and laughed.
10:31She found me, James. I was just waiting for my date. The one you set up, remember? I pointed outside.
10:39He's here. James' face went pale. His jaw tightened. Fine. He snapped. Enjoy yourself. He threw his coat
10:47over me and walked away. The date was a disaster. An entitled rich brat.
10:56When I got home, Shadow was waiting. James was leaning against the wall checking his watch.
11:02Home already? No dinner? No movie? I tried to walk past, but he pinned me to the wall.
11:07Are you that obsessed with me? Not interested in other men at all? Then he dropped the bomb.
11:14I'm marrying Isabella. Don't get any ideas. Cause trouble, and you're fired.
11:21My heart shattered. I kept my eyes dry. Don't worry, Mr. James. I know exactly where I stand.
11:28I walked upstairs without looking back. Downstairs, James lit a cigarette in the dark.
11:34He saw wet my window until the lights went out.
11:37I went home and sold everything. Every gift, every memory, gone. At the office, James was a stranger.
11:46Good morning, Mr. James. Cold, professional. I already bought my ticket home.
11:53I'm coming. Then Tom brought me a latte.
11:56Let's grab dinner tonight?
11:58He handed me roses, my favorite. Suddenly, a loud honk cut the air. James was staring from his Bentley.
12:04He looked furious. Then he sped off. I went home.
12:08The next day was my last day. The client, Mr. Harry, was a creep. He kept touching me.
12:14I felt sick. It was raining and dark when I left. Footsteps behind me. It was him.
12:20Hey baby, get in my car. He smirked. I ran into a dark alley, trembling. I pressed the panic button
12:27on
12:27my watch. Please answer, James. I sobbed. The call connected. It was Isabella.
12:34James is showering. What do you want? Isabella, help. A man is stalking me. Silence. Then a cruel laugh.
12:43Another fake emergency? Nice try.
12:45Who is it?
12:47Just Claire, trying to annoy me.
12:49If you talk to her, I'm leaving.
12:51James' voice was soft, soothing.
12:53Okay baby, I won't pick up.
12:55The line went dead. Harry was right behind me.
12:59The next day was my-
13:0110 o'clock AM. My desk is empty. I'm never late, but James didn't care. He thought I was just
13:07throwing a tantrum.
13:08The meeting starts. My chair is still empty. Suddenly, the HR director screams.
13:12It's Claire. She's in trouble.
13:14James' face goes pale instantly. He stands up, his chair screeching.
13:18What do you mean?
13:19He sees security footage. It's me in a dark alley.
13:22But in that dark alley, Harry was dragging me with my hair. I fought. I screamed. I desperately pressed my
13:28watch. The SOS button linked to his phone.
13:31I waited for him to save me. But he never came. Because his other girl blocked me. While I was
13:36fighting for my life. He was busy ignoring me to punish me.
13:4110 o'clock.
13:4210 o'clock.
13:42Diana's voice is shaking.
13:44Claire sent a report to HQ. The client tried to assault her last night. A stranger saved her just in
13:49time. She ran to find a camera for proof. She's begging us to call the police.
13:53Where is she?
13:54She quit a week ago. She's already gone.
13:56James stands frozen. Veins popping on his head.
13:59Why wasn't I told? Why wasn't her resignation on my desk?
14:02Diana stares him down with red eyes.
14:04Company policy.
14:06Junior staff only need their manager's sign-off. You denied her promotion. Remember?
14:09James is speechless. It feels like a slap to his face. He knows exactly why she failed. And now it's
14:14too late.
14:15Diana's voice is shaking.
14:16I just landed. The police called. I gave my statement over the phone. Then, I threw my SIM card away.
14:23Bye. New York. Goodbye. Passed. I went home and bought a house. In cash. No more debt to anyone.
14:30I sold all the designer bags he gave me. That gave me $300,000 to start over.
14:35I finally opened my own store. Grandma's smile was like sunshine. I thought, life is finally good.
14:42But at night, I still thought of James. He used to be my everything. I thought I'd never get over
14:48him.
14:48Until six months later, at a bar, I saw a guy who looked just like him. The same back. The
14:54same drink.
14:55I waited for the pain to hit. But, nothing. No pain at all. I just turned back and laughed.
15:01That's when I knew. I'm finally free.
15:05A year later, I saw James again.
15:08My shop was booming. My rivals were furious.
15:14They hired trolls to smear my brand.
15:17So I sued them. I didn't back down.
15:21I thought it was over. I was wrong.
15:25Six thugs cornered me in an alley.
15:28They smashed my phone. I couldn't call help.
15:31Then, a familiar shadow charged in.
15:34It was James. He jumped in front of me.
15:36Call 911.
15:37He barked, tossing his phone.
15:38A man pulled a knife and lunged.
15:41James didn't even blink. He shielded me.
15:44The blade sank deep into his side.
15:47Blood soaked his shirt. I forgot to breathe.
15:49He leaned on me, gasping for air.
15:51He wiped a tear from my cheek.
15:53Don't be scared.
15:54It takes more than that to kill me.
15:56The ambulance took him away.
15:58I was frozen.
15:59It all felt like a living nightmare.
16:02I guess.
16:03James survived.
16:04He's stable now.
16:06His family rushed to the hospital.
16:08He's hurt because of you!
16:10I never asked him to save me.
16:12How can you be so icy?
16:14I was the one who blocked you.
16:16James never got your call for help.
16:19He almost killed that guy for you.
16:21I don't care.
16:22We broke up a year ago.
16:26He loved you more than he knew.
16:28She handed me an envelope of tickets.
16:31Every single one was to my city.
16:33He came here twice every month.
16:35Just to watch you from afar.
16:37James survived.
16:38James woke up and saw me.
16:40His voice was a raspy mess.
16:42I thought I'd never see you again.
16:44I tossed the plane tickets on the table.
16:47You've already seen me plenty of times.
16:49He looked away like a guilty child.
16:51I didn't mean to bother you.
16:53James, it doesn't matter anymore.
16:55We've already turned the page.
16:57He looked pale.
16:58His eyes filled with tears.
17:00I'm sorry about your promotion.
17:02I actually had a better plan for you.
17:05I closed my eyes.
17:06My chest felt tight.
17:08This won't make me come back, James.
17:11But you never told me.
17:12Why didn't you explain it back then?
17:14James froze.
17:16No words came out.
17:18Because you didn't think I needed to know.
17:20You were always so high and mighty.
17:22My feelings never mattered to you.
17:25He looked crushed.
17:27Broken.
17:29I paid his medical bills in full.
17:31As I drove off, he looked from the window.
17:33Until he was gone.
17:35For good.
17:37One year later.
17:38Winter returned to New York.
17:40I walked into my new office with pride.
17:42My new firm gave me real power.
17:44At 29, I'm back in the game.
17:46I call James for advice when things get tough.
17:49He helps me without asking for anything.
17:51I don't hate him.
17:52I use him as a resource.
17:55I grew faster than ever before.
17:57Five years later, the company went public.
17:59As a founder, I finally have my future.
18:02I am finally the hero of my own story.
18:06We were at a major bidding war for a famous brand.
18:09My old company, James' firm, went first.
18:12Their idea was a cute story about a magic latte.
18:15Drink this.
18:16And your crush will fall for you.
18:18It was a classic romance drama ending.
18:20The judges loved it.
18:22But that was our idea, too.
18:24My team was panicking.
18:25What are we doing, boss?
18:26I walked onto the stage, the spotlight hitting my face.
18:30Our initial plan was the same as theirs.
18:32The room started whispering.
18:34I waited for silence.
18:35But standing here, I want to change the ending.
18:39In our story, the girl doesn't give the latte to the guy.
18:43She drinks it herself.
18:45The judges looked stunned.
18:47I continued with a smile.
18:48If magic exists, I want it to make us love ourselves.
18:51When you value yourself, your real life finally begins.
18:54This comes from my own life.
18:56I used to chase a man I thought was a god.
18:58But once I started loving myself, I realized I am just as good as he is.
19:02Maybe better.
19:04The room was silent.
19:05Then, a single person started clapping.
19:08It was James, sitting in a dark corner.
19:10He wasn't looking down at me anymore.
19:12He was looking up at me with pure respect.
19:14He was looking up at me.
19:15We locked eyes and shared a peaceful smile.
19:18We locked eyes and shared a peaceful smile.
19:19All right.
19:20And so, we're going to see now.
19:20I'll be right back.
