00:022am. The phone rings. Bring me some condoms. I'm at his door, soaked to the bone. He stares
00:08at my wet clothes. Who told you to be a good girl? I hand him the bag. I've loved him
00:13for
00:13seven long years, but his first love is back. He's planning to have sex with her, and he
00:18told me to bring him some condoms. Here are the magnums you wanted. He brushes my knuckles
00:22with his thumb. Isabella is not here yet. Why don't we use them first? I freeze. Then
00:28he laughs. Just kidding. I'm not that much of a jerk. I set up a blind date for you next
00:33week. You've been with me for years. I don't want you to feel you'll go, right? His eyes
00:37are cold. I know the truth. His true love is coming back. He's disposing of me before she
00:43arrives. I clench my fists. Just send me the address. Sir. He flinches at the word sir.
00:52I turn to leave. Wait. He wraps a Burberry shawl around me.
00:57Don't leave tonight. But isn't someone else coming? You actually believe that? Do you
01:02think I'm just some total scumbag? Who else has there been but you? He carries me to
01:07the bed. This is the last time. Isabella is coming home tomorrow. I don't want her to
01:12suspect a thing. So be a good girl. Go to that date. The mask is finally off. He's choosing
01:18her. I don't say a word. James is a literal machine. They say men slow down after 25. With
01:25him? That's a total lie. The sun was already coming up. He finally finished and hit the
01:31shower. I grabbed my clothes and headed out. That's our unwritten rule. He hates sleeping
01:35next to anyone. For 5 years no matter how tired. I always crawled to the guest room.
01:41Next morning he was back from the gym. I rushed downstairs.
01:48I saved some breakfast for you. No time. I'll miss my bus. I can just drive you. He said.
01:53No. I blurted out. My promotion results come out today. I can't be seen in your car. Otherwise
01:59they'll think I slept my way to the top. The room went dead silent. He stopped and let
02:03out a cold laugh. Fine. Suit yourself. He handed me a business card. Your blind date for next week.
02:10My head started spinning. One night made me almost forget. I came here to end this mess.
02:15The reason I agreed to drop off condoms last night was to end our 5 year messy relationship.
02:20I didn't want to seem desperate. I took the card. The edges stung. Okay. I whispered. I'll
02:27go.
02:29I've lived at James' house every weekend for years. Back then I'd carry heavy bags of clothes.
02:35He built me a walk in closet just to keep me around. But today I'm packing it all up. My
02:41pink
02:41slippers. My pajamas. Everything is gone. James just leaned against the door. Watching. We're just
02:48boss and employee now. He let out a cold sharp laugh. Don't worry. He smirked. I won't make things hard
02:55for you at work. I rushed to my desk just before 10 a.m. My co-worker bought me a
03:01congrats coffee.
03:02Don't forget us when you're the director. I blushed. The results aren't even out. You
03:08deserve it. You work the hardest. Five years of hard work. It's yours. I didn't hold back
03:13and smiled at the whole team. If I win, expensive sushi is on me. The whole office started cheering.
03:23Three minutes left. I refreshed my email. Then, the notification popped up. We regret to inform
03:31you. Promotion denied. My mind went completely blank. The team crowded around. Then, dead silence.
03:43H.R. walked in with a woman in white. This is Isabella, our new director, personally appointed
03:50by the James. I looked up and stopped breathing. She looked exactly like the photo. The one James
03:57kept hidden in his wallet. I felt like I had a heavy flu. I walked to James' office like
04:03a robot. I couldn't stop wiping away my tears. I knocked. Come in. Why? I asked, my voice
04:14trembling. What? So many positions in this company. Why did you give Isabella my promotion? He finally
04:21looked at me. She wanted it. Just because she wanted it? What of the seven years I gave you
04:26and your company? I almost died on that Africa assignment. James stood up and walked toward
04:33me. Claire, this is reality. I decide everything. I just wanted fairness. He let out a cool,
04:39low laugh. Fairness? You want to talk about fairness? If we didn't sleep together, you'd
04:45be nothing. You took the shortcut. Now you want fairness? His words felt like a slap to my
04:50face. I worked my heart out for seven years. I pushed myself every single day. I had to prove
04:56I belonged here. But he was right. I got into company because of him. That's how this all
05:01started. He gave it to me when he wanted to, and threw me away when he didn't. I have no
05:06right to talk about fairness. So I'm done. I'm quitting today. Meeting James was like a
05:17scene from a bad movie. I moved to New York right after graduation. My boyfriend cheated
05:22and moved on instantly. I was drowning in stress and heartbreak. So I went to a bar to drink the
05:28pain away. I had never had that much alcohol before. I drank until I completely lost my
05:33mind. Usually I'm too shy to talk to strangers. But that night, I hit on the hottest guy there.
05:39That guy, was James. He looked like a star on a magazine cover. He was cold and kept rejecting
05:45everyone. Do you want to come home with me? But I walked right up and sat next to him. He
05:50took a sip
05:51and let out a low laugh. I've never met anyone as bold as you.
05:57We spent the night in my tiny apartment. It was an experience like never before. It was so
06:03beautiful, I completely lost myself. I thought I'd never see him again. I was wrong. The next day,
06:11I went to the interview. I looked up and saw him in a sharp suit. My heart almost jumped out
06:16of my
06:17chest. I recognized him instantly but stayed calm. A few hours later, I got the job offer.
06:23On my first day, he cornered me in the elevator. Claire, right? Can you handle a physical only
06:29relationship? I'm usually conservative, but his eyes were deep.
06:36I, I, I can do that, I whispered. The moment I said it, I knew I was screwed. I fell
06:42for him,
06:43hopelessly. By day, he was my boss. By night, my lover. He gave me money, jewelry, and expensive bags.
06:58But he also taught me everything about work. I actually started to hope he'd love me back.
07:05But today, the fairy tale finally died. I was kicked out like a total fool.
07:11I finally realized the painful truth. If it's not meant to be yours, it never will be.
07:17Since I didn't get promoted, I don't even need his signature to quit. I went to HR and quit in
07:25minutes. Diana, the HR director, gave me a hug. Thanks for everything, Diana. Can you do me a huge
07:34favor? Keep my resignation a secret for now. I don't want anyone to know I'm gone. She is the
07:44only one who knows about me and James. I promise. After work, my grandma called me.
07:52Sweetie, did you get the promotion? You said I'd be the first to know.
07:57My throat tightened. I couldn't stop crying. Grandma, I'm leaving the New York.
08:03The line went silent for a second. That's great. I missed you so much. Come home.
08:09I'll cook your favorite food. I started to sob uncontrollably. I knew she was just comforting
08:17me. She used to brag about my city job. I wanted to buy her a house here.
08:25My dream was so beautiful. My dream was so beautiful. But reality was just too cruel.
08:33I couldn't sleep that night. So I started scrolling. At 2.10am I saw it. A local post.
08:42He still loves holding me in his sleep. James' hand was around her waist. Then I saw the
08:47cardier ring. My heart literally stopped. I knew that ring better than anyone. I saved for months
08:56to buy it for him. You don't need to buy me gifts you can't afford. There's really no point. But
09:02you
09:03deserve the best. He kissed me and looked so in love. Given our relationship, I didn't think James
09:08would actually wear this ring. The next day he wore it to work. He even smirked and flashed it at
09:13me.
09:15Every female colleague in the office was gossiping. God, he looked so good. It hurt.
09:21Now that ring is on another girl's photo. They look so perfect together.
09:28It hit me all of a sudden. The person he's willing to hold was never me.
09:38One week left until I quit. Then, Isabella showed up at the cafe. She threw a bag with a hair
09:44strand
09:44on the table. I found this in James' guest room. So you're the side piece. Before I could speak,
09:50ice-cold coffee hit my face. Then came the slap. Hard. She hissed. How can you be so cheap? I
09:57went to
09:57swing back, but my wrist was caught. It was James. He didn't even look at me. Get in the car,
10:04Isabella.
10:04I'll handle this.
10:08You replaced me after six months? Isabella was sobbing. Once she left, James' eyes turned cold
10:16as ice. Did I not tell you? Never about her ass. I pulled away and laughed. She found me, James.
10:24I was just waiting for my date. The one you set up, remember? I pointed outside. He's here.
10:31James' face went pale. His jaw tightened. Fine. He snapped. Enjoy yourself. He threw his coat
10:39over me and walked away. The date was a disaster. An entitled rich brat.
10:46When I got home, a shadow was waiting. James was leaning against the wall checking his watch.
10:53Home already? No dinner? No movie? I tried to walk past, but he pinned me to the wall.
10:58Are you that obsessed?
11:00Not interested in other men at all? Then he dropped the bomb.
11:05I'm marrying Isabella. Don't get any ideas. Cause trouble, and you're fired.
11:12My heart shattered. I kept my eyes dry. Don't worry, Mr. James. I know exactly where I stand.
11:19I walked upstairs without looking back. Downstairs, James lit a cigarette in the dark. He saw wet
11:26my window until the lights went out. I went home and sold everything. Every gift. Every memory. Gone.
11:33At the office, James was a stranger. Good morning, Mr. James. Cold. Professional. I already bought my ticket home.
11:44I'm coming. Then Tom brought me a latte. Let's grab dinner tonight?
11:48He handed me roses. My favorite. Suddenly, a loud honk cut the air. James was staring from his Bentley.
11:56He looked furious. Then he sped off. The next day was my last day. The client, Mr. Harry, was a
12:02creep.
12:02He kept touching me. I felt sick. It was raining and dark when I left. Footsteps behind me. It was
12:10him.
12:10Hey baby, get in my car. He smirked. I ran into a dark alley, trembling. I pressed the panic button
12:17on my watch.
12:18Please answer, James. I sobbed. The call connected. It was Isabella.
12:24James is showering. What do you want? Isabella, help. A man is stalking me. Silence. Then a cruel laugh.
12:33Another fake emergency? Nice try. Who is it? Just Claire, trying to annoy me. If you talk to her,
12:40I'm leaving. James' voice was soft, soothing. Okay baby, I won't pick up. The line went dead.
12:47Harry was right behind me. 10 o'clock AM. My desk is empty. I'm never late, but James didn't care.
12:54He thought I was just throwing a tantrum. The meeting starts. My chair is still empty.
12:59Suddenly, the HR director screams. It's Claire. She's in trouble. James' face goes pale instantly.
13:05He stands up, his chair screeching. What do you mean? He sees security footage. It's me in a dark alley.
13:11But in that dark alley, Harry was dragging me with my hair. I fought. I screamed. I desperately pressed
13:17my watch. The SOS button linked to his phone. I waited for him to save me. But he never came.
13:23Because his other girl blocked me. While I was fighting for my life. He was busy ignoring me to
13:28punish me. Diana's voice is shaking. Claire sent a report to HQ. The client tried to assault her last
13:35night. A stranger saved her just in time. She ran to find a camera for proof. She's begging
13:40us to call the police. Where is she? She quit a week ago. She's already gone.
13:45James stands frozen. Veins popping on his head. Why wasn't I told? Why wasn't her resignation
13:50on my desk? Diana stares him down with red eyes. Company policy. Junior staff only need
13:55their manager's sign off. You denied her promotion. Remember? James is speechless. It feels like a slap
14:00to his face. He knows exactly why she failed. And now it's too late. I just landed. The police
14:06called. I gave my statement over the phone. Then, I threw my SIM card away. Bye. New York.
14:12Goodbye. Passed. I went home and bought a house. In cash. No more debt to anyone. I sold all the
14:19designer bags he gave me. That gave me $300,000 to start over. I finally opened my own store.
14:26Grandma's smile was like sunshine. I thought, life is finally good. But at night, I still thought
14:32of James. He used to be my everything. I thought I'd never get over him. Until six months later,
14:38at a bar, I saw a guy who looked just like him. The same back. The same drink. I waited
14:44for the pain to hit. But, nothing. No pain at all. I just turned back and laughed. That's
14:50when I knew. I'm finally free.
14:52A year later, I saw James again. My shop was booming. My rivals were furious.
15:01They hired trolls to smear my brand. So I sued them. I didn't back down.
15:09I thought it was over. I was wrong.
15:13Six thugs cornered me in an alley. They smashed my phone. I couldn't call help.
15:18Then, a familiar shadow charged in. It was James. He jumped in front of me.
15:24Call 911.
15:25He barked, tossing his phone. A man pulled a knife and lunged. James didn't even blink.
15:30He shielded me. The blade sank deep into his side. Blood soaked his shirt. I forgot to breathe.
15:37He leaned on me, gasping for air. He wiped a tear from my cheek.
15:41Don't be scared. It takes more than that to kill me.
15:44The ambulance took him away. I was frozen. It all felt like a living nightmare.
15:50James survived. He's stable now. His family rushed to the hospital.
15:55He's hurt because of you!
15:57I never asked him to save me.
15:59How can you be so icy? I was the one who blocked you.
16:04James never got your call for help. He almost killed that guy for you.
16:08I don't care.
16:09We broke up a year ago. He loved you more than he knew.
16:15She handed me an envelope of tickets. Every single one was to my city.
16:20He came here twice every month, just to watch you from afar.
16:24James woke up and saw me. His voice was a raspy mess.
16:28I thought I'd never see you again.
16:30I tossed the plane tickets on the table.
16:33You've already seen me plenty of times.
16:35He looked away like a guilty child.
16:38I didn't mean to bother you.
16:40James, it doesn't matter anymore.
16:42We've already turned the page.
16:43He looked pale. His eyes filled with tears.
16:47I'm sorry about your promotion.
16:49I actually had a better plan for you.
16:51I closed my eyes.
16:53My chest felt tight.
16:55This won't make me come back, James.
16:58But you never told me.
16:59Why didn't you explain it back then?
17:01James froze.
17:02No words came out.
17:05Because you didn't think I needed to know.
17:07You were always so high and mighty.
17:10My feelings never mattered to you.
17:12He looked crushed.
17:13Broken.
17:14I paid his medical bills in full.
17:16As I drove off, he looked from the window.
17:19Until he was gone.
17:20For good.
17:22One year later.
17:23Winter returned to New York.
17:25I walked into my new office with pride.
17:28My new firm gave me real power.
17:30At 29, I'm back in the game.
17:32I call James for advice when things get tough.
17:35He helps me without asking for anything.
17:37I don't hate him.
17:38I use him as a resource.
17:40I grew faster than ever before.
17:42Five years later, the company went public.
17:45As a founder, I finally have my future.
17:48I am finally the hero of my own story.
17:51We were at a major bidding war for a famous brand.
17:53My old company, James' firm, went first.
17:56Their idea was a cute story about a magic latte.
17:59Drink this.
18:01And your crush will fall for you.
18:03It was a classic romance drama ending.
18:05The judges loved it.
18:06But that was our idea, too.
18:08My team was panicking.
18:10What do we do, boss?
18:11I walked onto the stage, the spotlight hitting my face.
18:14Our initial plan was the same as theirs.
18:17The room started whispering.
18:18I waited for silence.
18:20But standing here, I want to change the ending.
18:23In our story, the girl doesn't give the latte to the guy.
18:28She drinks it herself.
18:30The judges looked stunned.
18:31I continued with a smile.
18:33If magic exists, I want it to make us love ourselves.
18:36When you value yourself, your real life finally begins.
18:39This comes from my own life.
18:40I used to chase a man I thought was a god.
18:43But once I started loving myself, I realized I am just as good as he is.
18:47Maybe better.
18:48The room was silent.
18:50Then a single person started clapping.
18:52It was James, sitting in a dark corner.
18:55He wasn't looking down at me anymore.
18:57He was looking up at me with pure respect.
18:59We locked eyes and shared a peaceful smile.
