Short filmTranscript
00:00I've always had a strong sex drive, for three years Ethan Hayes never once satisfied me,
00:05but tonight, the Las Vegas Flower Gala, a dozen billionaire heiresses lined up on stage,
00:11one by one their bust sizes were measured, waiting to be chosen, an orchid meant an arranged marriage,
00:17no orchid meant your family would sell you off to the highest bidder,
00:21I am Chloe, I was born curvy, but I was the casino king's illegitimate daughter,
00:26so no one would ever choose me, Toe Knight, the only man who could save me was the one I'd
00:32loved for ten years,
00:33he was standing right there, Ethan smiled at the girl beside him,
00:38then he placed the orchid in her hands, that was supposed to be mine, he knew it, everyone knew it,
00:43you deserve this Lily, you have class, class one word and I became the punchline of the entire room,
00:50yesterday he promised me, three years, just give me three years and I'll handle everything,
00:56no one's going to force you into marriage,
00:58today he handed my future to a girl he met six months ago,
01:01Lily walked over to me, she looked nervous,
01:04Chloe, I'm so sorry, I told him not to, I really did,
01:09then she touched the orchid on her wrist, straightened it slowly, making sure I saw it,
01:14her eyes never changed, that is the thing about Lily, her mouth says sorry,
01:19her hand said he's mine now, Ethan walked over with a drink in his hand,
01:22casual, relaxed, like nothing happened,
01:25don't be dramatic, Chloe,
01:27he grabbed a rose from a passing tray and held it out,
01:29the thorns were still on, the stem was broken halfway,
01:33here, you look better in red anyway,
01:35a broken rose, for the broken girl, got it,
01:38why are you making such a fuss over one orchid,
01:41the laughter around me grew louder,
01:43she's the bastard daughter, what did she expect,
01:45before I could respond, a voice cut through the crowd,
01:48Vivian, graceful as always,
01:51untouchable as ever,
01:52she walked toward me with a champagne glass in her hand,
01:55smiling, the kind of smile that made everyone think she was a loving mother,
01:59Chloe, darling, we raised you for 18 years,
02:02fed you, clothed you, put a roof over your head,
02:06and this is how you repay us?
02:07Making a scene at the gala?
02:09She glanced at the rose in my hand,
02:11then at the orchid on Lily's wrist,
02:13some girls are orchids,
02:14some girls aren't,
02:17know your place.
02:20300 people watching,
02:21not one of them on my side,
02:23then my third sister stepped forward,
02:25like she'd been waiting for this,
02:27if I were you I wouldn't have shown up tonight,
02:29how embarrassing,
02:30she circled me slowly,
02:31then she reached out and touched the necklace around my neck,
02:34this belongs to the Carter family,
02:36she unclasped it,
02:38I didn't move,
02:39the earrings too,
02:40one then the other,
02:41dropped onto a silver tray a waiter was forced to hold,
02:44the bracelet,
02:45gone,
02:46the room was so quiet I could hear the jewelry hitting the tray,
02:50my sister looked me up and down,
02:51then smiled,
02:52take off the dress too,
02:54mom said you've enjoyed enough of the Carter family's kindness,
02:57from now on you're on your own,
02:59I looked at Vivian,
03:00she sipped her champagne,
03:01and nodded,
03:02so I reached behind my back,
03:04and unzipped the dress myself,
03:07the fabric slid off my shoulders,
03:09then pooled at my feet,
03:11300 people,
03:12camera flashes,
03:13whispers,
03:14I stood there in nothing but a silk slip,
03:17my whole body is just exposed like this,
03:19from head to toe for everyone to see,
03:22my sister finally stopped smiling,
03:24she didn't expect me to actually do it,
03:26Vivian's glass paused halfway to her lips,
03:29even she didn't expect that,
03:31I picked up the dress,
03:32folded it neatly,
03:33and placed it on the tray,
03:35on top of the jewelry,
03:40there,
03:41that's everything,
03:45now we're even,
03:46then I looked at Ethan,
03:48he was frozen,
03:49his face was white,
03:50Chloe,
03:51I turned around,
03:52and walked through 300 people barefoot,
03:54in a silk slip,
03:56with nothing to my name,
03:57my sister's voice echoed behind me,
04:00oh right,
04:01one more thing,
04:01that man in DC,
04:02I heard he already has someone he truly loves,
04:05good luck,
04:07my mother died young,
04:08I was taken back to the Carter family,
04:10when I was still a child,
04:12the way Vivian looked at me,
04:13it was as if she wanted me dead,
04:15my father had too many women to even count,
04:17of course,
04:18he never cared whether a daughter like me lived or died,
04:21I learned to read people from a very young age,
04:23how to survive,
04:25if it weren't for this face,
04:26I probably wouldn't have made it this far in one piece,
04:29so I survived in the cracks,
04:30and I went to my uncle,
04:32I begged him to train me,
04:33to bet on me,
04:34that man never smiled,
04:35so I held myself together,
04:37even when I was shaking inside,
04:39making a deal with a tiger means you don't get to be afraid,
04:42your father has over 20 children,
04:44why should I bet on you,
04:45you're just an illegitimate daughter,
04:47because I have nothing to lose,
04:48and I'm not afraid to bleed,
04:50but the time still isn't right,
04:52and uncle Henry won't help me,
04:53as for that man in DC,
04:55I heard he's cruel,
04:56cross him once,
04:57and he'll make you pay for it 10 times over,
05:00the Carter family wants in with him,
05:02but they can't bear to sacrifice their real daughters,
05:04so they picked me,
05:05of course they did,
05:07uncle Henry had probably already heard how tonight ended,
05:10he sent me one text,
05:11you lost,
05:12figure it out yourself,
05:13I shivered and wrapped my arms around myself,
05:16I left the banquet and got into the car uncle Henry sent,
05:19he was already inside dressed in black,
05:22cold as ice,
05:23no smile,
05:24not even a trace,
05:25you lost the bet,
05:26tomorrow you leave for DC,
05:27what happens next depends on your own fate,
05:30I'll come back,
05:31we'll see,
05:32the corner of his mouth lifted,
05:33cold,
05:34faint,
05:34merciless,
05:35just like that,
05:36he kicked me out of the game,
05:37on social media,
05:38Lily was smiling brightly,
05:40thank you for giving me the most beautiful night of my life,
05:44now it's my turn to repay you,
05:46the man with his arm around her,
05:47was still wearing the cufflinks I gave him,
05:50the next morning before sunrise,
05:51I left,
05:52no goodbye,
05:53no looking back,
05:55just a backpack,
05:56and a one way trip to the airport,
05:58security,
05:58boarding everything went smoothly,
06:00as the plane began to taxi,
06:02I shut off my phone for good,
06:04just like that,
06:05I cut off everything connected to Las Vegas,
06:08then the announcement came,
06:09ladies and gentlemen,
06:10we are incredibly sorry,
06:12we have been ordered to return to the gate,
06:14Mr. Hayes has bought out every flight today,
06:16to locate one person,
06:22I watched the view outside the window,
06:25it suddenly slowed down,
06:26just a second ago,
06:28everything had still been rushing past,
06:30my mind went blank,
06:31the second the plane stopped,
06:33my phone got signal again,
06:34calls came flooding in,
06:35messages too,
06:36then a payment alert popped up,
06:38we sincerely apologize for disturbing your trip,
06:41as compensation,
06:42the Hayes family will reimburse today's tickets,
06:44at 10 times the original price,
06:46the cabin went dead silent,
06:47not one person said a word,
06:49then a few girls behind me started whispering,
06:52who is the Hayes family looking for,
06:54they're really making this big of a scene,
06:56this is straight out of a drama,
06:58I looked at my phone,
06:59my chest tightened,
07:01early that morning,
07:02Ethan had gone to the Carter house to find me,
07:04when he saw I was gone,
07:05he walked straight into my room,
07:07the dress from last night was still there,
07:09so was the jewelry,
07:10everything was untouched,
07:12except the backpack I used all the time,
07:14that was when he lost it,
07:15he dragged the whole family out of bed,
07:17he questioned every single one of them,
07:20that was when he found out I'd already left for DC,
07:23he nearly tore the whole house apart,
07:24he called me right away,
07:26but by then,
07:27I was already on the plane,
07:28when he realized I hadn't kept a thing from him,
07:31he snapped,
07:31he grounded every flight and forced them back,
07:34I got off the plane with my backpack,
07:36then I stood in the airport completely torn,
07:38should I go back,
07:39or keep going,
07:40it was still early,
07:42and I was starving,
07:42so I decided to grab a bite of steak first,
07:45I could think after I ate,
07:46right then,
07:47a text from Uncle Henry came in,
07:49do you want to come back,
07:50the Hayes family is still willing to have you,
07:52the Carter family was full of schemes,
07:54Ethan might have spoiled me,
07:56but there was no way he'd throw away his pride for me,
07:58if I went back now,
08:00all I'd get would be cold stares,
08:01if I kept going,
08:03maybe I still had a chance,
08:04I was halfway through my steak,
08:05when a group of men in black stormed in,
08:08any woman who looked even a little pretty,
08:09got stopped and questioned,
08:11a second later,
08:12Ethan rushed in too,
08:13he walked right past me,
08:15he was drenched in sweat,
08:16his phone was clenched in his hand,
08:18he looked shaken,
08:19almost helpless,
08:20he kept calling my number,
08:22over and over,
08:23my phone would not stop vibrating,
08:25when no one picked up,
08:26he got so mad,
08:27he almost smashed it,
08:29the men in black searched everywhere,
08:30they came back with nothing,
08:32where is she,
08:33keep every route blocked,
08:34do not let a single plane fly to DC,
08:36It was the first time I had ever seen Ethan that rattled,
08:40that out of control,
08:41I checked the flights,
08:42the plane to NYC had already changed destinations,
08:45I sat there waiting to board,
08:47scrolling through the news,
08:48Las Vegas tabloids were always insane,
08:51and ridiculous,
08:52the top headline was all about the Hayes family's golden boy,
08:55in giant red letters it read,
08:57Ethan Hayes was seen with a new beauty last night,
09:00so why is he buying out an entire flight route today?
09:03This kind of love is unreal,
09:05if a guy came after me like that,
09:07I'd say yes on the spot,
09:08what do you know,
09:10at the flower gala last night,
09:12Mr Hayes picked some sponsored girl,
09:15I bet she conned him,
09:17what,
09:18he passed on all those rich girls,
09:20and now he regrets it,
09:21I pressed my lips together,
09:23I said nothing,
09:23I just took a sip of coffee,
09:25I'm telling you,
09:26Mr Hayes probably didn't even know,
09:28giving her that flower meant a confession,
09:30wow,
09:31you even know that,
09:32that's nothing,
09:33I got invited to last night's gala too,
09:35I froze,
09:36for a second,
09:37I thought maybe I knew her,
09:39I glanced back and didn't recognize her,
09:41so lucky,
09:42it's not a big deal,
09:43my family knows people in Las Vegas's upper circle,
09:47so what did that girl look like,
09:48really pretty,
09:50they're like,
09:51like seriously gorgeous,
09:53no one can figure out why Mr Hayes gave the flower to some outsider,
09:56but honestly,
09:58same difference,
09:59then the girl switched tones,
10:01pure contempt,
10:02that pretty girl,
10:03she's just an illegitimate daughter,
10:05she's nothing like us,
10:07we're the real daughters,
10:08I let out an awkward little cough,
10:10both girls turned around,
10:12she still didn't notice anything,
10:13if anything,
10:14she got louder,
10:15maybe Ethan will wise up,
10:17and pick me,
10:17I'm the princess of my family,
10:20I had zero interest in eavesdropping any longer,
10:23so I got up and paid my bill,
10:25as I passed,
10:25the loudest girl saw my face,
10:28her whole expression froze,
10:29what,
10:30you know her,
10:31the other girl looked up at me,
10:33she's gorgeous,
10:35you're,
10:36she glanced past me at the men,
10:38still searching all over the airport,
10:40then she started stammering,
10:42wait,
10:43Ethan's looking for you,
10:44I put a finger to my lips,
10:47both girls slapped their hands over their mouths,
10:49their eyes went huge,
10:51I had already walked a good distance away,
10:53when one of them finally screamed,
10:55you never said she looked like that,
10:57you seriously have no shot,
10:59the second I got to the gate,
11:00another refund alert hit my phone,
11:02I almost laughed,
11:03the Hayes family had reached everywhere,
11:05they had actually bought out flights to other cities too,
11:08I gripped my phone,
11:09I really didn't know whether to go forward or turn back,
11:13while I was still hesitating,
11:14a call came in,
11:16a DC number,
11:17hello,
11:18who's this?
11:18Ryan Shaw,
11:20the man I was supposed to marry,
11:21his voice was cool,
11:23low,
11:23clean,
11:24way too easy to like,
11:25I'm sorry,
11:26my plane is on the tarmac,
11:27walk outside,
11:28they'll bring you to me,
11:30I was just about to explain,
11:32Ethan had shut down the flight routes,
11:33when I saw it,
11:34a private jet was parked out on the tarmac,
11:37a few older men in black,
11:38got off and stood there waiting,
11:40straight,
11:41backed,
11:41respectful,
11:42okay,
11:43I hung up quietly,
11:44and headed straight for the plane,
11:46the second I stepped outside,
11:47an umbrella opened over my head,
11:50Mrs. Shaw,
11:51we're here to take you home,
11:52right then,
11:53Ethan finally saw me,
11:57he strode over fast,
11:59and grabbed my wrist,
12:01Chloe,
12:02you're coming with me,
12:03several bodyguards moved in at once,
12:05they closed around me,
12:07at the same time,
12:08Ryan's people stepped in front of me too,
12:10both sides squared off,
12:12the people nearby instantly pulled out their phones,
12:14nobody wanted to miss this,
12:16the man leading Ryan's side looked like a family butler,
12:19sharp suit,
12:20perfect posture,
12:21old school money from head to toe,
12:24he was smiling,
12:25but there wasn't one ounce of warmth in it,
12:27Mr. Hayes,
12:28I'm here to bring Mrs. Shaw back,
12:31please let go,
12:32we're still in Las Vegas,
12:34I'd like to see who thinks they can take her,
12:36then he looked straight at me through the crowd around us,
12:39your family was forcing you into this marriage,
12:41why didn't you tell me,
12:42I almost laughed from frustration,
12:45Ethan,
12:46you protected me for years,
12:49I'm grateful for that,
12:51things ended up here,
12:52I don't blame anyone,
12:54what the hell does that mean,
12:55you don't blame anyone,
12:57if you don't blame me,
12:59then come back with me,
13:00I'll talk to your family,
13:01I'll marry you,
13:03I looked up at him,
13:03rain started coming down,
13:05his hair was a mess,
13:06his eyes were red from panic,
13:08Ryan's butler stayed planted in front of me,
13:11calm,
13:11professional,
13:12sorry,
13:13the time we agreed on with the Carter family has arrived,
13:16Mrs. Shaw can only come with us today,
13:18Ethan didn't even look at him,
13:20he only stared at me,
13:21I shook my head,
13:23Ethan,
13:23I told you before,
13:24I only wanted that three year promise from you,
13:27I already have someone I like,
13:29I was never planning to marry you,
13:31again,
13:31you've been stuck inside that house your whole life,
13:33who could you possibly like,
13:34I know you hate it when I call you my shadow,
13:36but stop being stubborn,
13:37come back with me,
13:38let's talk when we get back,
13:39okay,
13:40without realizing it,
13:41he was pleading now,
13:42and I was grateful,
13:43I really was,
13:44but the second he let go of my hand,
13:46and gave that flower to his sponsored girl,
13:48we were done,
13:49we were never meant to walk the same path again,
13:51Ethan,
13:52your future wife is Lily,
13:53the whole city knows that now,
13:55you two should be happy together,
13:57who the hell would marry some sponsored girl,
13:59are you kidding me,
14:00I'd marry you before I'd ever marry her,
14:02my eyes dimmed,
14:03that was the problem with Ethan,
14:05he liked me enough,
14:06but never respected me enough,
14:08and in that moment,
14:09every bit of hesitation finally left me,
14:11I followed the butler,
14:13and strode toward the plane,
14:14Ethan stayed where he was,
14:16his eyes looked ready to spit fire,
14:18Chloe,
14:19think this through,
14:21once you go to DC,
14:22nobody's gonna protect you anymore,
14:24so you're really not marrying me,
14:26if you walk away now,
14:27don't regret it,
14:28the butler had already set out fresh clothes,
14:30he pointed to the washroom and back,
14:32his voice was low,
14:33you should rent off,
14:34staying soaked like that gets you sick fast,
14:37the jet was ridiculously fancy,
14:39no way it was rented,
14:40it had to be the Shaw family's private jet figures,
14:43typical DC old money,
14:45even the Carters don't own a private jet,
14:48my dad only chartered one once in a while,
14:50and this thing had everything,
14:52a bathroom,
14:53a full bed,
14:54what threw me off,
14:55was the bed itself,
14:57soft pink bedding,
14:58not exactly Ryan Shaw's vibe,
15:00in the bathroom,
15:01I changed into the clothes they'd prepared,
15:03then I froze again,
15:04they were my exact size,
15:06when I came back out,
15:07the butler had already sent the bodyguards,
15:09to the rear cabin,
15:10I looked at him,
15:11does Mr. Shaw usually fly on this,
15:13he caught my confusion right away,
15:15he bought this jet for you,
15:17everything was designed around your taste,
15:20even the bedding,
15:21he picked it himself,
15:23made from the softest,
15:25most comfortable material,
15:27I was stunned,
15:28something this expensive,
15:29and he just gave it away,
15:31to someone unrelated to him,
15:33wasn't he supposed to have a girl he loved,
15:35it's still a long flight,
15:37you can rest a bit,
15:38the butler kept going,
15:39DC is dry,
15:41we prepared a humidifier for you,
15:43no one had ever cared how I felt,
15:45I was always the one watching everybody else,
15:48that sudden kindness threw me off,
15:50I couldn't even sit still,
15:51thankfully the butler saw I was tense,
15:53he quietly stepped away,
15:55I took out a pen and started drawing,
15:57but my mind was all over the place,
15:59all I felt was dread,
16:00the plane touched down on a huge stretch of green,
16:03Anse looked closer,
16:04I realized it wasn't a runway,
16:06it was the Shaw estate,
16:07I grew up rich in Las Vegas,
16:09but even I had never seen anything this insane,
16:12Ryan came to meet me himself,
16:14he wore a soft smile,
16:16nothing like the rumors,
16:18not cold,
16:19not cruel,
16:20he draped a coat over my shoulders,
16:22his voice was warm,
16:24are you cold?
16:24then I stepped aside a little,
16:26Mr. Shaw,
16:27I know you love someone else,
16:29I know you were forced to marry me,
16:31don't worry,
16:32just give me three years,
16:34I won't keep you away from her for long,
16:36after that,
16:36we split,
16:38someone I love?
16:39three years?
16:41yeah,
16:42three years,
16:44I'll do the wife thing,
16:45that's it,
16:46I won't interfere,
16:48when the time's up,
16:49I leave,
16:50clean break,
16:51his brow tightened,
16:52he looked at the butler,
16:53that look was pure interrogation,
16:55when no one answered,
16:57who told you we keep score like that?
16:59Mrs. Shaw?
17:04he hooked a finger under my chin,
17:07then leaned in closer,
17:09what's mine is yours,
17:10Mrs. Shaw,
17:11even after we walked inside,
17:13I still hadn't snapped out of it,
17:15wasn't he supposed to be icy,
17:17wasn't he supposed to be ruthless,
17:18Ryan Shaw's house was all sharp lines,
17:21simple furniture,
17:22cold tones,
17:24clean,
17:24precise,
17:24but there was color too,
17:26pillows,
17:27rugs,
17:28flowers,
17:28new additions,
17:29still,
17:30nothing looked wrong,
17:31everything fit,
17:32the taste was flawless,
17:34the whole place felt warmer than it should,
17:36I sat on the sofa,
17:37then handed him a sheet of paper,
17:40my proposal,
17:42take a look,
17:44I need to borrow money,
17:46I'll pay it back in installments,
17:48I felt my face heat up,
17:50I was the gambling king's daughter,
17:52yet I came here with one backpack,
17:54no jewelry,
17:55no dowry,
17:56no valuables,
17:57nothing,
17:58in the Shaw family's eyes,
17:59that was almost insulting,
18:01before I landed,
18:03I had already looked into them,
18:04the Shaw family stood at the top,
18:06untouchable,
18:07unshaken,
18:08they needed nothing,
18:09not money,
18:10not marriage alliances,
18:12and young begging them for help,
18:13could line up across Las Vegas,
18:15so I still couldn't understand it,
18:17why would the Shaw family choose the Carter family,
18:20I pressed my lips together,
18:21I have no money,
18:23but don't worry,
18:25I'll pay you back,
18:26he took my cold hand and said,
18:28his palm was warm,
18:29he rubbed my fingers slowly,
18:31my face burned again,
18:33he looked pleased,
18:34very pleased,
18:35what do you need it for,
18:36I looked up,
18:37then it hit me,
18:38maybe as Ryan Shaw's wife,
18:40I wasn't meant to have any financial power at all,
18:42maybe I was supposed to just spend what they gave me,
18:45maybe that was the rule,
18:47Mr. Shaw,
18:47I don't want to stay under the Carter family's control,
18:50I won't be a useless trophy wife,
18:53I won't live on handouts,
18:55I want my own career,
18:57and if I can,
18:58I want the part of the Carter family that belongs to me,
19:01Ryan paused,
19:02that answer surprised him,
19:03I had been too direct,
19:04he reached out,
19:05rubbed my hair,
19:07then said softly,
19:08everything I have is yours,
19:10my card,
19:11spend whatever you want,
19:12I just couldn't tell what the distance in his eyes meant,
19:15Ryan gave me a beautiful suite in the estate,
19:17bright,
19:18sunny,
19:19beautiful like a princess room,
19:20I stood there stunned in the Carter family,
19:23I had never had anything like this,
19:25I was just the illegitimate daughter,
19:27that night I finally slept well,
19:29the next morning Uncle Henry came first,
19:31in the Carter family,
19:32Uncle Henry was the only one who had ever protected me,
19:35but his kindness always had a price,
19:37always,
19:38Ethan is tearing the city apart,
19:40why didn't you come back,
19:41I'm a person,
19:42not a pet that comes whenever you call,
19:44oh,
19:44I thought you already accepted your role,
19:46a tool for revenge,
19:47for three years I did everything a Mrs. Shaw should do,
19:51I attended banquets with Ryan,
19:53stood by his side,
19:54smiled when needed,
19:55spoke when needed,
19:57in that world everyone knew me,
19:59they praised me,
20:00flattered me,
20:01tried to win me over,
20:02to them I was a lucky girl,
20:04beautiful,
20:05quiet,
20:05harmless,
20:06Ryan spoiled me,
20:08everyone saw it,
20:09three years passed,
20:10I borrowed only one million from the Shaw family,
20:13to outsiders,
20:14I am that lucky,
20:15quiet,
20:16harmless Voss,
20:17but I have never forgotten my true purpose for being here,
20:20but I never forgot why I was here,
20:22that one million opened the door to Las Vegas high society,
20:26I used their connections,
20:28their networks,
20:29their greed,
20:30then I aimed it all at the Carter family,
20:32I crushed their influence,
20:34stole their talent,
20:35cut their ground out from under them,
20:37little by little my father saw the truth,
20:40all his children were useless,
20:41every one of them,
20:43the other branches panicked,
20:45they were scared,
20:46scared of losing money,
20:47scared of losing status,
20:49so they sold their shares,
20:50and multiplied again and again,
20:52and just when my father thought he had won the most,
20:55I took the seat of the largest shareholder in the Carter family,
20:58by then the Carter heirs were already finished,
21:01every single one,
21:11hundred mick and all her family,
21:12one of them trucking and all their ideas were associated with it,
21:12and what if you go to a small island.
