00:30I watch his fingers, butt in his shirt, calm, cold and distant.
00:34I'm staying tonight.
00:36I ask, my voice still thick.
00:39Pack business, don't wait up.
00:41He says without even turning around.
00:43Business.
00:43The same excuse he said to me every morning.
00:46He leans down and gives me a clinical kiss on the forehead.
00:48No passion, just a goodbye.
00:52Fenrir left his phone on the nightstand.
00:54The screen lights up with a text from a girl named Elise.
00:58Fenrir, counting down the hours.
01:00I miss you.
01:01Miss us.
01:02Dinner tonight?
01:03Like old days.
01:04My fingers started to tremble.
01:07Fenrir never took me to any dinner.
01:08Not when on my birthday.
01:10I follow his car to a quiet bistro across town.
01:13From the shadows of my car,
01:15I watch the most heartless man I know
01:16climb out and pull a fragile woman into a gentle, tender hug.
01:20That's Elise.
01:21I re-conjize her.
01:23She's thinner than on photos.
01:24The photo in Fenrir's study,
01:26he's touching her like she's made of glass.
01:28I've never seen him this soft.
01:30Except when we're in bed.
01:32The way he looked at her like he was her protector.
01:34To him,
01:35I'm just the wild girl he was asked to tame.
01:38Three years ago,
01:38my father handed me over to him.
01:41Sylvie is too wild.
01:43Fenak,
01:43my best friend,
01:44you're the only one who can handle her.
01:46My father said,
01:47I was 19,
01:48rebellious,
01:49and I hated him instantly.
01:50I thought he was just another man trying to cage me,
01:53so I decided I'd cage him first.
01:55The first time we met,
01:56I wore a tiny mini skirt to his office just to piss him off.
01:59He didn't even look up from his desk.
02:01Close your legs, Sylvie.
02:02He said coldly.
02:03You're making your family look cheap.
02:05I hiked my skirt even higher.
02:07How about now?
02:08He finally looked at me,
02:09his eyes like ice.
02:10Get out.
02:11For months,
02:11I played games.
02:12I left flirty notes in his files.
02:14I messed up his missions.
02:15I even put laxatives in his whiskey.
02:17But he was always so calm.
02:20He'd just say,
02:21You're a smart girl, Sylvie.
02:23Use your brain for something better.
02:26Until that night.
02:27I was desperate to see the monster beneath the suit,
02:30so I drugged his drink.
02:31I just didn't expect to be trapped in the room when it kicked in.
02:34Fenrir pinned my wrist to the wall.
02:36His breath was heavy, dangerous, and dark.
02:38What did you do?
02:40He growled.
02:40I looked him right in the eye,
02:42my heart hammering.
02:43You already know.
02:45Want to try me?
02:46That night changed everything.
02:48The next morning,
02:49I expected him to be furious.
02:51I expected him to send me back to my father in disgrace.
02:54Instead, Fenrir leaned in,
02:56his thumb grazing my cheek
02:57with a tenderness that killed me.
03:00My Luna princess,
03:01he whispered,
03:02this stays between us.
03:04Those three words were my undoing.
03:06I fell for him,
03:07and I fell hard.
03:09For two years,
03:10we lived a double life.
03:11By day,
03:12he was the icy,
03:14untouchable alpha.
03:15By night,
03:16he'd whisper that name in my ear
03:17until my legs gave out.
03:19I actually thought he loved me.
03:21I thought I was his world.
03:22Until my birthday.
03:24I spent hours getting ready.
03:25I booked the exact table where we first met.
03:27I was ready to tell him I was his,
03:30completely and forever.
03:32Fenrir never came.
03:33I sat in that restaurant for three hours
03:35until the staff started looking at me with pity.
03:37The next morning,
03:38the internet gave me the answer I didn't want.
03:41There was a photo of him at the airport.
03:43He had his arms wrapped around a woman
03:44as if she were his entire universe.
03:46They looked like a damn fairy tale.
03:48That's where he was while I sat alone.
03:50He was picking her up.
03:52I laughed until I cried,
03:53drinking until I couldn't feel a thing.
03:55I wanted to scream at him.
03:57I wanted to know,
03:58what am I to you?
03:59Just a distraction?
04:01A warm body?
04:02I went to his study
04:03and smashed every single picture of that woman
04:05with a wine bottle.
04:06That was when I knew her name was Elise.
04:09I wanted him to be angry.
04:11I wanted him to care.
04:12But when he walked in,
04:13he didn't even raise his voice.
04:15He just looked at the glass
04:16and told the maid,
04:17Clean up this mess.
04:18before walking right past me.
04:20That was the moment I knew.
04:22I wasn't even worth an argument.
04:23To him,
04:23I was just a child throwing a tantrum.
04:25He still calls me,
04:27My Luna Princess.
04:28as if nothing changed.
04:30But my heart was already dead.
04:32Now I watched for my car
04:34as he held the door open
04:35for Elise outside a bistro.
04:36He was laughing.
04:37It was a sound so rare
04:38I'd forgotten he was even capable of it.
04:40He calls me,
04:41My Luna Princess in the dark.
04:43But he saves his joy for her.
04:44My heart died eventually.
04:46I grabbed my phone
04:47and called my father.
04:49Father, I accept.
04:51In two weeks,
04:52I'll marry the Johnson Pax dying son.
04:54My father is ecstatic.
04:56Anything you want, Sylvie.
04:57Just name your condition.
04:59We'll talk in person.
05:01I say,
05:01and hang up.
05:02I drove straight to my father's house.
05:04My father and my stepmother,
05:06Masha,
05:06were waiting.
05:07Alright, Sylvie.
05:08My father barked.
05:10What's the price for your obedience?
05:11What do you want in exchange
05:12for this marriage?
05:13I sat down,
05:14looked at him in the eye
05:15and said the words
05:16that froze the room.
05:18I want you to dissent.
05:19My father's face turned to ice.
05:22But Masha?
05:22Her eyes lit up
05:24with a greed she couldn't hide.
05:25I'll marry the Johnson Pax dying son.
05:27I told them,
05:28my voice steady
05:29for the first time in years.
05:30But in exchange,
05:32we sever all ties.
05:34From this moment on,
05:36I am no longer a lockherd.
05:38You can finally bring your mistress
05:39and her bastard daughter
05:40into this house officially.
05:42The day you killed my mother,
05:43I stopped wanting you
05:44as a father anyway.
05:45My father's face turned white.
05:47I told you,
05:48that car crash was an accident.
05:50I sneered at him.
05:51Accident or not,
05:52Dad, Mom died,
05:52she caught you cheating.
05:53Let's stop playing house.
05:55You've been trying to sell me
05:56to the Johnsons for months
05:57just to clear the path
05:58for your new daughter,
05:59haven't you?
05:59My father shot to his feet,
06:01shaking with rage.
06:02You want to be decent,
06:02the Silva?
06:03Fine!
06:03As of tomorrow,
06:04you are no longer a lockherd!
06:06Deal,
06:07I said,
06:08already walking away.
06:09Just make sure the Johnsons know.
06:10Their bride is no longer an heiress.
06:12She's a parentless rogue.
06:13Let's see if they're still willing
06:14to pay you the same price for me.
06:16The moment I was alone in my room,
06:17my mask shattered.
06:19I collapsed onto the bed
06:20and sobbed until I couldn't breathe.
06:22Do you see what I've done, Fenrir?
06:23I thought,
06:24to finally leave you,
06:25I had to give up the only thing I ever had.
06:28The next morning,
06:29the house was a mess of moving boxes.
06:32I walked to the stairs,
06:33ready to leave this life behind forever.
06:35I looked down at the front door
06:36and my blood turned to ice.
06:38Standing there,
06:39in my home,
06:39was Elise.
06:40She was that new daughter,
06:42my stepmother's daughter.
06:43I stood at the top of the stairs
06:45and saw her,
06:46Elise.
06:46She was wearing a white dress,
06:48looking like a perfect,
06:49innocent angel.
06:50She looked up at me and smiled.
06:52You must be Sylvie.
06:53It's so good to meet you.
06:55I didn't say a word.
06:56I just watched my father look at her
06:58with more love
06:59than he had ever shown me
07:00in my entire life.
07:01My father turned to me
07:02like I was the help.
07:03He told me to show Elise to my room.
07:05I felt the blood drain from my face.
07:08My room?
07:09It's Elise's room now.
07:11You can move to the guest room
07:13on the third floor.
07:14I didn't cry.
07:14I just gave him a cold laugh
07:15and said,
07:16No thanks.
07:1730 minutes later,
07:18I was dragging my suitcase
07:19down the stairs.
07:20My father blocked my path,
07:22screaming,
07:23Where do you think you're going?
07:24Your wedding is in two weeks.
07:26I didn't even look at him.
07:27I told him,
07:29Since I'm no longer a Lockwood,
07:30I don't belong here.
07:31I'll be at the wedding
07:32to finish our deal,
07:34but I'm done with this house.
07:35I walked out
07:36and realized I had nowhere to go.
07:37Every friend I had
07:38only cared about the Lockwood name.
07:40Now that I was disowned,
07:42I was invisible.
07:43As the sun went down,
07:44I found an empty bench in the park.
07:46I sat there in the cold,
07:47hugging my knees,
07:48wondering how I'd survive
07:50the next five days
07:50until the wedding.
07:52Suddenly,
07:52a group of drunk men
07:53stumbled toward me.
07:54I was trapped against the bench.
07:56One of them reached out,
07:57smelling like booze,
07:58telling me not to be shy.
07:59But then,
08:00a low, dangerous voice
08:01cut through the dark.
08:03She's with me.
08:04It was Fenrir.
08:05He looked absolutely furious.
08:07The drunks ran for their lives.
08:09Fenrir looked at my suitcases,
08:10then at me and asked,
08:13Homeless already?
08:14And you still won't come to me?
08:16Fenrir took me back to his mansion,
08:18but I wouldn't go to our bedroom.
08:19I dragged my suitcase
08:20straight to the guest room.
08:22He told me I could stay
08:23as long as I wanted,
08:24but he has no idea.
08:25In four days,
08:26I'm gone forever.
08:27The next morning,
08:28I asked him the truth
08:29about Elise.
08:30Fenrir didn't even look guilty.
08:32He told me she was the girl
08:34who saved his life years ago.
08:35Then,
08:36his voice turned ice cold.
08:38He warned me not to touch her.
08:39He said she was fragile
08:41and that I shouldn't cause trouble.
08:43I just laughed.
08:44He wasn't protecting me
08:45by picking me up.
08:46He was protecting her.
08:48That night,
08:49the hallway was silent.
08:50Usually,
08:51Fenrir would come to my room,
08:52hold me tight,
08:53and call me his Luna Princess.
08:55But tonight,
08:56nothing.
08:57His first love is back.
08:59Of course,
08:59he won't want me anymore.
09:01On Saturday,
09:02he forced me to go to a party.
09:03I thought it was a pack meeting,
09:05but when we walked in,
09:06I saw the giant banner,
09:07Welcome Home, Elise.
09:09Fenrir actually brought me
09:10to a party for the woman
09:11who took my home.
09:12Elise started crying fake tears
09:14in front of everyone,
09:15asking if I moved out
09:16because of her.
09:17She's the awesome sitter!
09:19I said.
09:20But Fenrir didn't defend me.
09:21He looked at me
09:22with a warning in his eyes,
09:23then turned to Elise.
09:24He whispered,
09:25Don't cry.
09:26Your eyes will get swollen.
09:28And wiped her tears
09:29with his own handkerchief.
09:31I watched them all night.
09:32He pulled out her chair.
09:33He brought her drinks.
09:35He fixed her dress.
09:36For two years,
09:37I thought Fenrir was just a cold man
09:39who didn't know
09:40how to be romantic.
09:40I was wrong.
09:42He's not cold.
09:43He just wasn't willing
09:44to do those things for me.
09:45When party was over,
09:47I was standing outside alone.
09:48That's when I saw them.
09:50Fenrir was carefully
09:51helping Elise walk.
09:52She hobbled over to me
09:53with a fake smile
09:54pretending to be sorry.
09:56But then,
09:56she leaned in close.
09:57Her voice was like a snake.
09:59He only has room
10:00in his heart for me.
10:01She hissed.
10:04It's been that way
10:05since high school
10:06and it'll never change.
10:07I looked at her
10:08then at Fenrir
10:09but before I could say a word,
10:12a black car lost control.
10:13It came speeding
10:14straight toward us
10:14on the sidewalk.
10:15In that split second,
10:16everything changed.
10:17Fenrir lunged forward.
10:18He didn't even look at me.
10:19He threw his arms around Elise,
10:21shielding her
10:21with his entire body.
10:23And me?
10:23I was just standing there.
10:25The car struck me hard,
10:26throwing me violently
10:27onto the cold ground.
10:29As the world went dark,
10:30my life flashed
10:31before my eyes.
10:32I remembered
10:32the first time
10:33he called me
10:34his luna princess.
10:35I remembered
10:36the nights in his arms
10:37when I thought
10:37I was finally home.
10:39But the last thing
10:40I saw was the truth.
10:41Fenrir diving for her,
10:43leaving me to face
10:44the crash alone.
10:45When I finally
10:46opened my eyes,
10:46I was in a hospital bed.
10:48It was quiet
10:49but I could hear them
10:49talking just outside
10:50my curtain.
10:51Fenrir's voice
10:52was so gentle,
10:53it sounded like
10:54a stranger's voice.
10:55Are you okay?
10:57Elise softly said yes.
10:59She asked him,
11:00Fennec,
11:01if it happened again,
11:02you'd still save me first, right?
11:04Fenrir didn't even hesitate.
11:06Of course.
11:07He said.
11:07Sylvia has no reason
11:08to be angry.
11:09In an emergency,
11:10I'm obviously going to save
11:11the more fragile person.
11:13She understands that.
11:14After Fenrir left,
11:15the room was quiet
11:16but not too long.
11:18The door creaked open
11:19and there she was.
11:21Elise sat by my bed
11:22with a poisonous smile.
11:24She told me a story
11:25about high school,
11:26about how she was
11:26Fenrir's first love.
11:27She told me
11:28she took a bullet for him
11:29during an ambush
11:30and ever since,
11:31Fenrir has been
11:32consumed with guilt.
11:33He promised to spend
11:34the rest of his life
11:35making it up to her.
11:36Then she leaned in,
11:38her voice turning venomous.
11:39She told me that
11:40while she was away,
11:42she lied to Fenrir.
11:43She told him
11:44I was mistreating her mother.
11:45She said Fenrir
11:46didn't discipline me
11:47because he was forced to.
11:48He asked for the job.
11:50He wanted to break me
11:51to get revenge for her.
11:52I felt my blood
11:53turn to ice
11:54but it got worse.
11:55Elise pulled out
11:56her phone and asked,
11:57Did you know
11:58that every single time
11:59you two were together
12:00it was being recorded?
12:01She said Fenrir
12:02installed hidden cameras
12:03in the bedroom.
12:04He filmed our most
12:05private moments
12:05just to give her
12:06leverage to control me.
12:08Fengal never loved you.
12:09He was just
12:10completing a mission
12:10and now
12:11he's going to marry me.
12:13I couldn't stay
12:14in that hospital bed
12:15for another second.
12:16Nurse shouted behind me
12:17but I didn't care.
12:18I jumped into a cab
12:20and headed straight
12:20to Fenrir's mansion.
12:21I had to know.
12:22I had to see
12:24if the man I loved
12:24was actually the monster
12:26Elise described.
12:27I ran into his study
12:28and punched the code
12:29into the hidden wall.
12:30It slid open
12:31to reveal a room full
12:32of monitors and computers.
12:34My hand shook
12:35as I found the folder
12:35labeled Sylvie.
12:36I clicked it.
12:37There they were.
12:38Hundreds of videos.
12:40Every night we spent together.
12:42Every I love you.
12:43I whispered in his arms.
12:45He had recorded it all
12:46in high definition.
12:47I crumpled to the floor.
12:48It was all true.
12:49I called my father.
12:50My voice breaking.
12:51I asked him,
12:52Three years ago
12:53did Fenigo offer
12:54to discipline me?
12:55My father didn't
12:56even hesitate.
12:57He told me Fenrir
12:58gave him a $200 million project
13:00just for the chance
13:00to take me under his wing.
13:03Fenrir didn't love me.
13:04He bought me.
13:05He slept with me
13:05and controlled me
13:06just to get revenge for Elise.
13:08I started to laugh.
13:09It was a hysterical,
13:11broken sound.
13:12I went to the bedroom
13:13and grabbed my suitcase
13:14and my flight ticket
13:15to Jackson's pack.
13:16On the way out,
13:17I picked up a solid gold lighter,
13:19the first gift Fenrir
13:20ever gave me.
13:21I used to think
13:22it was a symbol of love.
13:23Now I realized
13:24it was just a mark
13:25on his prey.
13:25I flicked the lighter open
13:27and tossed it onto
13:28the heavy silk curtains.
13:29I watched the flames grow,
13:31devouring the memories,
13:32the lies,
13:32and the ghosts
13:33of the girl I used to be.
13:35The sky was a hellish red
13:36as fire trucks
13:37surrounded the mansion.
13:39I watching it burn.
13:40A message jumped in
13:42when I turned on my phone.
13:43It was Fenrir.
13:44I heard you burn the house.
13:46Do you feel better now,
13:47my Princess Luna?
13:49I didn't reply.
13:50I was about to catch the flight.
13:52I received another message from him.
13:54Stay home and wait for me.
13:56I have something to tell you.
13:57I turned off my phone,
13:58whispered to the empty air,
14:00we'll never see each other again.
14:02I threw my phone out the window
14:04and watched it shatter.
14:05Now, he has no way to find me.
14:07At the airport,
14:08I sat by the window.
14:10Outside,
14:10I saw his private jet
14:11on the tarmac.
14:12I accidentally saw his silhouette
14:14walking up the stairs
14:15heading to another city
14:16for his meeting.
14:17My flight to Johnson's PAC
14:19was called.
14:20I realized then,
14:21there were two planes
14:22on that runway
14:23pointed in completely
14:24opposite directions.
14:26Fenrir walked out
14:27of the PAC meeting
14:27and loosened his tie.
14:29After three days
14:30of high-stakes negotiations,
14:31the Torino territory
14:32was finally hit.
14:34He was at the top of his game.
14:36He turned on his phone
14:37for the first time
14:38in 72 hours
14:39and the screen lit up
14:41with 99 missed messages
14:42from Elise.
14:43But his eyes went straight
14:44to the only one
14:45that mattered.
14:46A single message
14:47from Sylvie.
14:47He tapped it,
14:49expecting her usual sass.
14:50Instead,
14:51his blood went cold.
14:52It was a bank notification.
14:54Transfer received
14:56$813,000.
14:58The memo simply read,
14:59Settlement for Medical
15:00and Living Expenses.
15:01No.
15:02I miss you.
15:03No.
15:04Where have you been?
15:05Just a final bill.
15:06Paid in full.
15:07That was the total amount
15:08of Fenrir's money
15:09I had spent
15:09over the last three years.
15:10I transferred it
15:11to the bank.
15:13Fenrir almost laughed
15:14from frustration.
15:15He typed back,
15:17You think I need your money?
15:19Do we really need
15:20to settle accounts like this?
15:21He waited for the reply
15:22he knew would come in seconds.
15:24But the chat window
15:25stayed silent.
15:26Ten minutes passed.
15:28Nothing.
15:29He called her
15:30only to hear
15:31a cold,
15:31robotic voice say,
15:33The number you have dialed
15:34is not in service.
15:35For a second,
15:37Fenrir froze.
15:38He thought of Sylvie,
15:39how she looked
15:40when she snuggled
15:41into his arms at night,
15:42her long lashes
15:43against her skin.
15:44He looked at her
15:45profile picture.
15:46A proud cat
15:47that looked exactly like her.
15:49He smiled,
15:50thinking she was
15:51just playing hard to get.
15:53He sent one last command.
15:55I'm back in New York
15:55tomorrow night.
15:56Be at the airport
15:57to pick me up.
15:58He stared at his phone,
16:00waiting for her
16:00to say no or fine.
16:02But the message
16:03stayed unread.
16:04For the first time
16:05in his life,
16:06the powerful alpha
16:07of the Sex and Pack
16:08felt a chill.
16:09He was used to her defiance,
16:11but he wasn't prepared
16:12for her silence.
16:14On the dry back,
16:15Fenrir sat in the back seat,
16:16holding a velvet jewelry box.
16:19Inside was the pearl necklace
16:20Sylvie had begged for,
16:22the one he had refused
16:23to help her buy
16:24at the auction.
16:25His driver, Marshall,
16:26finally spoke up.
16:28Alpha,
16:28I think she still heard
16:29about the auction,
16:30but if she knew
16:31you went through
16:31all this trouble
16:32to find the real necklace
16:33for her,
16:33you'd be so moved.
16:35Fenrir looked at the box.
16:37He pictured Sylvie's
16:38defiant, beautiful face.
16:40Would she?
16:41He whispered.
16:42Marshall kept going,
16:44talking about how Sylvie
16:45was actually kind and sweet,
16:47even when she tried
16:48to act tough.
16:49But then,
16:50the temperature
16:51in the car dropped.
16:52Fenrir's face
16:53turned terrifyingly dark.
16:56He looked at Marshall
16:57in the mirror
16:57and asked,
16:58Do you like her?
17:00Marshall's hands shook
17:01so hard,
17:02the car almost
17:02swerved off the road.
17:03Fenrir demanded,
17:05Tell me the truth.
17:06Marshall took a deep breath
17:07and admitted it.
17:09Who wouldn't be drawn
17:09to someone like her?
17:10But I know she only
17:11has eyes for you, Alpha.
17:12I've only ever admired
17:13her from afar.
17:14Fenrir calmed down slightly,
17:16but then Marshall found
17:17a sudden burst of courage.
17:18He looked at the most
17:19powerful Alpha
17:20in the territory
17:21and said,
17:21But Alpha,
17:22I hope you treat her better.
17:24You can't protect Aline
17:25one moment
17:26and then try to be sweet
17:26to Sylvie the next.
17:27She deserves a love
17:28that is all or nothing.
17:29Fenrir narrowed his eyes,
17:31his voice dangerous.
17:32What are you implying?
17:33But Marshall didn't back down.
17:35He went all in.
17:36Exactly what it sounds like.
17:38Alpha,
17:38I've always wanted to ask,
17:40who do you really love?
17:42Is it Elise
17:42or is it Sylvia?
17:48Sylvia, of course.
17:50The moment Fenrir
17:51said those words,
17:52his assistant slammed
17:52on the brakes.
17:53The tires screeched.
17:55Marshall was in a cold sweat.
17:56He couldn't believe it.
17:58He turned to the Alpha
17:59and whispered,
18:00But you've always treated Elise
18:02so much better than Sylvie.
18:04Fenrir leaned back
18:05and closed his eyes.
18:07He looked tired.
18:08He started to explain.
18:09Back in high school,
18:10he was the cold prince.
18:12Every girl wanted him.
18:13To make them stop,
18:15he needed a fake girlfriend.
18:17He saw Elise in the library one day,
18:19wearing a white dress,
18:20looking innocent.
18:21He chose her just
18:22to keep the others away.
18:23It was never about love.
18:24It was a strategy.
18:25But then,
18:27graduation day changed everything.
18:29An assassin targeted Fenrir
18:31on the school roof.
18:33Elise shoved him out of the way
18:34and took a bullet to the chest.
18:35She nearly died for him.
18:37Since then,
18:38Fenrir has been trapped by guilt.
18:40He gave her everything she wanted.
18:42Not because he loved her,
18:44but because he owed her his life.
18:45He even admitted
18:46the biggest secret of all,
18:48the only thing he was grateful for
18:49was Elise's comment,
18:51I want that little Lockwood princess
18:53to never dare bully my mother again.
18:55which led him to propose
18:56disciplining Sylvie
18:58to Alpha Lockwood himself.
18:59At the thought,
19:00a smile involuntarily touched
19:02Amber's lips.
19:03Fenrir remembered
19:04the first time he saw Sylvie
19:06like it was yesterday.
19:07She burst into his study
19:09like a flash of red,
19:11leaning against the door
19:12with a smirk.
19:13A princess shouldn't have to wait,
19:15she told him.
19:16In that moment,
19:17she was like a flame
19:18burning through his cold,
19:19black and white world.
19:20His heart skipped a beat,
19:22even if he didn't show it.
19:23For years,
19:24she was a wildcap.
19:26She put laxatives
19:27in his whiskey
19:28and turned his million dollar contracts
19:30into paper airplanes.
19:31He loved every minute of the chase.
19:34He remembered the night
19:35he finally pinned her to his desk.
19:37She was furious,
19:38calling him a bastard,
19:40but he just whispered,
19:41My Luna princess.
19:43He took her again and again,
19:45but he never said the word love.
19:47Fenrir realized
19:48he had kept his feelings buried
19:50because he was afraid.
19:51He was afraid if he confessed his love,
19:53she would take it for granted,
19:55or worse,
19:56get bored and run away.
19:57But sitting on his private jet,
19:59he couldn't stop thinking about her.
20:01He remembered how she secretly left warm water
20:04by his bed when he was sick,
20:05even when she was mad at him.
20:08His throat tightened.
20:09For the first time,
20:10he was desperate to get home.
20:12The plane landed in New York.
20:14Fenrir walked down the steps,
20:16his eyes searching for that familiar sight.
20:18Every time he returned,
20:20Sylvie was there in a bright dress,
20:21waving at him
20:22before flying into his arms
20:23like a happy bird.
20:24He could almost feel her hug already.
20:27He was ready to pull her into the car
20:29and never let her go.
20:31Fenrir,
20:32a voice called out.
20:33A smile started to spread across his face,
20:35but as he turned,
20:36his smile froze.
20:38It was Elise.
20:39She looked fragile and sweet,
20:41but Fenrir's body went stiff.
20:42He pushed her away gently and asked,
20:45What are you doing here?
20:46Elise pouted,
20:47telling him she had come especially to pick him up.
20:49She asked,
20:50Aren't you happy to see me?
20:52Fenrir gave a polite answer,
20:54but he didn't even take her hand.
20:55His mind was miles away.
20:57He was thinking about Sylvie.
20:59She hadn't shown up.
21:00He figured she was still sulking about him.
21:02He started making a mental list of gifts to fix things.
21:06Elise begged him to follow her to a special place.
21:09Wanting to get it over with,
21:10he agreed.
21:11But when the ballroom doors opened
21:13at a luxury hotel,
21:14Fenrir froze.
21:15The room was a sea of white roses,
21:17champagne towers,
21:18and heart-shaped balloons.
21:19It was a perfect setting for a romantic rehearsal.
21:22The elite guest turned to him with no one's mind.
21:25Fenrir realized it instantly.
21:27This was a trap.
21:28Just as he turned to find an exit,
21:30a large,
21:31one-sledding room.
21:32It showed Fenrir in high school,
21:34letting Elise rest her head on his shoulder.
21:36Then,
21:37a photo of him holding an umbrella over her in the rain,
21:40getting stoked himself.
21:41To the crowd,
21:42it looked like a perfect,
21:44lifelong romance.
21:45But Fenrir stood in the back,
21:47his face a mask of stone.
21:49Elise walked onto the stage,
21:51blushing.
21:52She told the room how Fenrir had watched her in the library,
21:56how he only ever took drinks from her hand,
21:58and how everyone called them a perfect match.
22:01I've always been in love with you.
22:03I've always been in love with you.
22:04She whispered.
22:05The crowd gasped.
22:06They were sure he was about to propose.
22:09Elise pulled out a jewelry box.
22:11She was certain he felt the same way,
22:13because he had granted her every wish for years.
22:16But Fenrir's eyes grew ice cold.
22:18Before she could ask the question,
22:21Fenrir strode onto the stage.
22:23The room went dead silent.
22:24He looked her right in the eyes and said,
22:27I can grant you anything you want, Elise.
22:30But not this.
22:32I am not in love with you.
