00:01En college I bought a boyfriend, he was a genius from a small town, he was penniless, but I got
00:11everything, the deal was I paid his family's medical bills, and he slept with me, but eventually he hated every
00:18second of the four years, then a nightmare happened, my family went bankrupt overnight, that same night he walked away,
00:27no goodbye, no looking back,
00:30just gone, for years later everything changed, I'm a waitress at a stripper club, working to pay off debts, and
00:38him, he's the new king of Silicon Valley, for all these years, I never thought I'd run into Ryan like
00:45this, I kept my head down when serving the drinks, trying to hide, Tello was sitting right next to him,
00:51they looked perfect together, I thought bitterly,
00:53Waitress, slice up these oranges, I turned my back to him and started slicing, the orange juice splashed on my
01:00hands, long ago whenever I craved oranges, Ryan would always slice for me, his cuts were perfect, slice was exactly
01:09the same, back then, I actually thought he loved me,
01:13Later I realized he was just a sweet person, when he sliced those oranges, he would think about codes, scholarships,
01:19and bills this month, he thought about everything, except me, four years apart felt like a lifetime, suddenly they started
01:26talking about college romances, someone said,
01:29I heard you had a girlfriend back then, Ryan, my hand froze, I heard you had a girlfriend back then,
01:37Ryan, my hand froze, yeah, wow, four years, basically all of college, Ryan didn't respond,
01:46It must be unforgettable, right? Ryan stayed silent, swirling the wine in his glass, after a long pause, he gave
01:53a faint, cold smile, not really,
01:58Believe me, he couldn't stand that girl, Stella joked, I went to the same college with them, that girl was
02:05a totally nightmare, if she hadn't been in the way, Ryan and I would have been together years ago,
02:13So true, Stella is killing it on social media, the ex is old news compared to her,
02:20The room is filled with laughter again, I grabbed the tray, wanting to get out of there, suddenly the knife
02:26slipped,
02:26Out! The sound drew everyone's attention, what is wrong with you? Can't you even cut fruit? I'm so sorry, I'll
02:32go get a new one,
02:34Wait, Ryan's voice stopped me cold,
02:38Turn around, turn around, he spoke slowly, one word at a time, I froze, I felt like I was nailed
02:45to the floor,
02:46Turn around, I froze, just then, the manager stepped in, I'm so sorry, she's new, this tray is on the
02:55homes today,
02:58Go, get a new one, now, look, I finally escaped the room,
03:05Be more careful next time, if they complain, you're working for nothing tonight,
03:12Thank you,
03:15That VIP room is full of big shots, especially that young CEO, we cannot afford to offend him,
03:21I'm scared, could you deliver the oranges for me?
03:25Sure,
03:28I stood in the hallway, realized something bitter, I am the nightmare X they were talking about,
03:37I still remember our freshman year, Ryan stood in the crowd in his faded old clothes,
03:43He was totally an outsider, but he was the only one I saw, until last week, when he suddenly showed
03:50up,
03:51I loved his cold, calm voice when he was talking to me, and I loved the way he looked down
03:57at me,
03:59Ryan was desperate for money back then, so one night after class, I grabbed his hand,
04:06I like you, Ryan, be with me, I have money, we can share, I could even pay you for one
04:12night,
04:13No,
04:15He said no, of course, but I was young and spoiled, I didn't know the word lose meant,
04:24The more he said no,
04:26No,
04:26The harder I chased him,
04:30Everything changed when his grandfather got sick,
04:34Without thinking, I paid all the medical bills,
04:38That was the moment Ryan finally gave in,
04:41I was so stupid, I thought I was being a hero,
04:48It took me a long time to realize, I got the man,
04:56But I crushed his soul,
05:02Even after we started dating, he worked every single day,
05:05He barely touched my money, but things got worse,
05:08People started to spread rumors, they said he have sold himself,
05:12I was so naive, I just held his hand and said,
05:15Ignore them,
05:16I lived in my own little world, never realized Ryan was fighting his war all alone,
05:21Senior year, my family lost everything, I didn't tell him the truth, I just called him out and said,
05:27Let's break up,
05:27Why?
05:28I'm bored of you,
05:31Fine, as you wish,
05:33Just like that, we were over, I figured he was happy to finally be free,
05:38The day we broke up, I changed my phone, and left town to pay off the debts,
05:43I didn't move back until three months ago, Ryan looks amazing now, he was always a genius,
05:48The top of our class, only four years after graduation, he's a tech mogul on the cover of
05:53Fortune magazines now, and Stella, she was our prom queen, became a famous influencer,
05:58I never expected them to be together,
06:06Standing by the elevator, I tried to swallow the bitterness in my chest,
06:10It was 4am when I finished my shift, I was the last one out of the club,
06:15The lights were off, and the elevator wasn't running, I kept hitting the button, hoping for a miracle,
06:20You should call security, a voice said behind me,
06:24I looked back, and there he was, Ryan, I called, my hands shaking, the elevator opened,
06:31We stood together in the tiny, quiet space,
06:34You always get off this late?
06:35He asked casually,
06:37We leave when the last guest leaves,
06:39Does it pay well?
06:40It's okay,
06:41I kept my head down, he acted like I was a total stranger, chatting away as if nothing happened,
06:46This elevator is slow, my girlfriend is waiting for me, she must be worried,
06:49My heart skipped a beat, he was talking about Stella,
06:54What about you? Working so late, doesn't your boyfriend pick you up?
07:01Doesn't your boyfriend pick you up?
07:03I live nearby,
07:04The elevator doors opened, I tried to run, but Ryan grabbed my arm,
07:08Why are you always running, Chloe? Where else can you go?
07:12He looked exactly like the same boy from my past, but his eyes were colder,
07:17You just vanished, Chloe, phone disconnected, no one can reach you, you're so good at disappearing,
07:24I finally looked at him,
07:26You've done your research, haven't you, Ryan? My family went bankrupt, I'm still in debt,
07:30Why didn't you tell me then? Was your pride that important?
07:32I was speechless, Chloe, is that you?
07:36It was Stella, she looked perfect, even prettier than before,
07:41Chloe? Is that you? Where have you been after all these years?
07:47I moved away, Stella looked at my coat,
07:49Wait, is that your old coat from college? It's literally falling apart, why are you still wearing that?
07:56She wanted to embarrass me, It's fine, it still works,
08:00Are things that bad? Stella pulled out a card said,
08:03Here, take this, don't worry about paying it back, I looked at her then at Ryan, who was in her
08:09arm,
08:10No thanks, I can still pay my own bills, I'm actually getting married, next month to be exact,
08:17I'd love for you guys to come to my wedding, Ryan's face suddenly went pale, he never saw it coming,
08:23The club gig is just my side hustle, by day I have a real office job, Monday morning a big
08:30client
08:30arrived, the office was buzzing with gossip, I heard this guy's a total genius, he built the
08:36system just to find someone, who? I heard it's his ex-girlfriend, my heart skipped a beat,
08:41So, did he find her yet? Nobody knows, but every big investor is chasing him, I grabbed my files
08:47and headed to the meeting, I heard a familiar voice inside, I need to rethink this partnership,
08:54I pushed the door open and set the files down, Ryan's eyes locked onto mine instantly,
08:59What are you doing here? Working, my boss looked surprised, Chloe, do you know Mr. Warren?
09:06We've met, met, that's new to me, he was upset, but I didn't know why, he was the one who
09:13walked away
09:13first, Ryan pointed at me and looked at my boss, I'm willing to sign, provided there's a small
09:20condition, I want Chloe as my private assistant, of course, absolutely, my boss agreed before I could
09:26say a word, then he had me run coffee back and forth, while they talked business until sunset,
09:31at p.m., I grabbed my bag to leave, where are you going? I didn't say you could leave, I
09:37can't work
09:38late today Mr. Warren, what could be more important than your work? I have another job,
09:44I have to go deliver food now, Ryan just stared at me in total shock, I used to be so
09:49spoiled,
09:50I was the kind of person who wouldn't even touch takeout, back in college, Ryan spent all his after
09:55school hours delivering food, his dinner was usually just a cheap free meal, provided by the
10:00delivery company, one day I went to find him, I saw him squeezed into a tiny room with a bunch
10:06of other
10:06uber eat drivers, they were all just shoving food into their mouths from plastic boxes, I said,
10:13Ryan how can you eat that, it's so unhealthy, he looked so uncomfortable, he looked at me and asked,
10:20does it really matter if it's healthy, come on, let's go grab some steak, I dragged him to a new
10:26steakhouse, where a meal costs over 100 bucks, he stood at the door for a long time, then he silently
10:34took off his delivery uniform, it wasn't until my family lost everything, that I finally understood
10:40how he felt that day, and I understood his pain, just like I felt today, it started snowing on the
10:46street, the ground was so slippery, and the food spilled everywhere, I called the customer to explain,
10:54but he just screamed at me, hello, I'm so sorry, it's snowing and the roads are icy, I fell off
11:03my bike,
11:03and the food spilled, don't make excuses, you're late, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, my palms were cracked and
11:10bleeding, it hurt so badly, but I didn't have time to care, suddenly Ryan appeared and grabbed my bike,
11:16I had no idea how long he'd been standing there watching me, I reflexively hid my hands behind my
11:22back, stop hiding them, I saw them, go wash them, right now, his voice was raspy, and his eyes were
11:30bloodshot, I have to deliver the food first, get in the car, I'll take you, the customer lived on the
11:36first floor, when I handed him the meal, he grumbled, what the, a Porsche driver delivering takeout,
11:43I checked my phone, I had to pick up the next order, stop, don't go, I can't, I haven't made
11:51enough
11:52money tonight, then I'll buy it, then I'll buy it, what, I can't believe what I heard, he reached into
11:59his coat and pulled out a thick stack of cash, he didn't even count it, he just pressed the money
12:04into my bleeding hands, I'm buying your time for the rest of the night, the Porsche pulled up to Ryan's
12:10house, he opened the door for me, I stepped out hesitantly, standing at his front door, I stopped,
12:17Stella wouldn't like it, I refused to go inside, you're still worried about her, look at yourself,
12:23you're a mess, my palms were torn up, and my clothes were soaked with dirty melted snow,
12:29and look at this house, does it look like a woman lives here, you guys aren't living together,
12:35I was never even with her, Ryan pulled out a contract and handed it to me, six months ago,
12:41she came to me for a deal, she didn't want to be harassed by all those scumbags,
12:46so she asked me to play her fake boyfriend, he explained further, making sure I understood,
12:52and some gold diggers like to target tech CEOs like us, it's annoying, Stella could help me get
12:58rid of them as well, I opened the contract, and the words practically jumped off the page,
13:03no interference in each other's private lives, Ryan took my hand and started treating my wounds,
13:10then I saw a row of unopened hand creams on the shelf, it was my favorite brand, Ryan had bought
13:17the
13:17entire set, I talked to your co-works today, you don't have a boyfriend, you even told everyone
13:24you were single last week, tell me the truth, there is no wedding, Chloe, admit it,
13:31you're wrong, there is, then show me a photo, a photo of you and that guy, we, we don't have
13:40any
13:40photos together, you, you love taking pictures, and you're telling me you don't have a single
13:48photo with your new man, you just reminded me, I'll take one next time, and show it to you,
13:55Ryan let out a cold, frustrated laugh, suddenly he leaned over, he pushed me back onto the couch,
14:02trapping me completely, I couldn't move even through my sweater, I could feel the heat radiating
14:08from his body, I bought your time for tonight, I'll give your money back Ryan, I'm really getting
14:15married, his hand slid down my shoulder slowly, until he reached my wrist, he stopped, getting
14:21married, and yet you're still wearing the bracelet your ex-boyfriend sent you, that doesn't seem right
14:26does it, I looked down, there was a thin chain on my wrist, over the years it had lost its
14:31shine,
14:32it was the very first gift Ryan ever gave me, I was 19 and the world was different then,
14:37there was a week I barely saw him except for classes, he was working every part-time job he
14:42could find, he was working harder than ever, on my birthday, my parents threw a party for me at a
14:48fancy restaurant, I invited Ryan but he didn't show up, I waited and waited, finally when the party was
14:54over, my phone rang, I'm outside the restaurant, I walked out in the middle of a heavy snowstorm,
15:02there he was standing tall and straight, he looked exhausted, just like I do today,
15:07his cheap yellow delivery uniform was covered in mud, back then I didn't know what's happening,
15:12all I did was complain about him being late, Ryan just smiled and rubbed my hair,
15:17he told me he got me a gift, it was a simple bracelet, but I knew it was way more
15:22than he
15:22could afford, I loved it so much that I couldn't wait to put it on, and for years I never
15:27took it
15:27off, my parents called me from inside the restaurant, who were you talking to, they asked
15:31who I was talking to, they never liked Ryan, they thought he was too poor for me, when I turned
15:37back around, Ryan was already gone, disappearing into the snow, looking back today I can't help
15:43but wonder, back when we were 19, Ryan did love me didn't he, that bracelet, he worked day and
15:49night just to buy it for me, was he just like me tonight, running through the snow, falling down
15:55but getting back up just to get that gift to me, but what about now, he's now pressing me down
15:59into
16:00the sofa, his shadow looming over me, his house is filled with luxury brands I used to love, does
16:05he still care about me, or is he just trying to humiliate me, I couldn't figure it out, before I
16:10knew it, tears started rolling down my face, Ryan froze, he looked completely panicked, he could never
16:16handle it when I cried, that's the one thing about him that hasn't changed at all, he scrambled
16:21to wipe the tears from my face, don't cry, please don't cry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean
16:28to make you cry, today's your 26th birthday, and I bought you a new bracelet, I bought you
16:36a new bracelet, what, I had completely forgotten, today was actually my birthday, take a look,
16:44do you like it, he reached for my wrist, trying to help me put on the new bracelet, Chloe,
16:52could we, could we try back, before he could finish, the doorbell rang, where's Chloe, I'm
17:01here to pick her up, who are you, I'm her fiance, didn't she tell you, Ryan's hand shook,
17:07the new bracelet slipped from his fingers and fell, I left with Lucas, he didn't open the
17:11windows, but kept lighting one cigarette after another, the smoke was thick, making me cough
17:16uncontrollably, I had known Lucas for a long time, before my family went bankrupt, he confessed
17:22his feelings to me, but back then I was so head over heels for Ryan, that I rejected Lucas
17:27every single time, until last week when he suddenly showed up, marry me and I'll pay off
17:36all your debts, marry me and I'll pay off all your debts, why, to prove you chose wrong, I'm
17:43the only one who can save you, that poor kid is just a burden, so I'm just a trophy for
17:48his ego, how pathetic, I only asked him for a phone call, just an excuse to escape Ryan
17:53tonight, I didn't expect him to show up at Ryan's door, why lie about being my fiance,
18:02what's the difference, we're getting married anyway, I never said yes, do you even have
18:08a choice, wake up Chloe, you're drowning in debt, only a sucker would marry you, who else
18:14wants you, that guy, he was your broken college boyfriend, right, he's only back to humiliate
18:19you, he must be laughing at you right now, none of your business, he stole my girl once,
18:27now I want payback, Lucas, I'm not an object, I said no then and I say no now, I had
18:37enough,
18:37is it really up to you Chloe, think about your family, looking at his smug face, I thought
18:42of the past, back then everyone mocked Ryan just like this, does Ryan think of me that
18:48way now, word got out that I was back, everyone knew my family was bankrupt, my old roommate
18:55Jade reached out, it was our old promise, whoever got married last would be the bridesmaid,
19:00on the wedding day, I saw so many old faces, Chloe, I always thought you'd be the first
19:07one to get married, if I were married, how could I be your bridesmaid, don't even start,
19:15four years, no calls, no texts, I was so mad at you, I'm sorry, I promise I won't disappear
19:24again, why did you just vanish then, my whole world collapsed at that time Jade, I didn't
19:32want anyone's sympathy, just hurt too much to stay, so I left and deleted everything, Ryan
19:40was looking for you like crazy.
19:41¡Gracias!
