00:00I picked amnesia to prank my boyfriend, and he handed me off to his buddy right on the spot.
00:05Fireworks exploded across the sky at the party.
00:07I stood at the rooftop door and saw Zayn, my boyfriend of two years,
00:13leaning down to kiss my best friend Blair.
00:15It all started with a prank 12 hours earlier.
00:18I got hit by an out-of-control skateboard and only scraped my elbow.
00:23Zayn, along with his buddy Asher, burst into the emergency room like crazy.
00:27I suddenly got the idea to mess with him.
00:30Tilting my head and pretending to be confused, I asked softly,
00:34Excuse me, who are you?
00:35His whole body froze, and the panic in his eyes vanished in an instant.
00:39Blair leaned in next to him, covered her mouth and gasped.
00:43Oh my god, did Clara hit her head and get amnesia?
00:46The doctor quickly explained that it was most likely temporary amnesia, and I'd recover soon.
00:52I secretly grinned, waiting for him to prove he was the boyfriend I'd love for two years.
00:57But he slung an arm around Blair's waist, nodded toward Asher beside him, and said,
01:02He's your boyfriend, not me.
01:04I froze on the spot, a bone-chilling cold seeping all the way to my fingertips.
01:09I stared straight at Zayn.
01:11He didn't even flinch, only saying he was my boyfriend's best buddy.
01:15Blair wrapped her arm around his triumphantly, her eyes filled with provocation.
01:19Clara, even if you forgot everything, you can't forget your own boyfriend.
01:23Zayn glanced at Asher.
01:24Buddy, play along.
01:25Asher stepped forward slowly, his gaze locking straight onto my eyes.
01:30He said seriously,
01:31Yeah, I'm your boyfriend, Asher.
01:34I looked at Zayn, and my heart shattered completely.
01:37I pushed down all my feelings, smiled, and held out my hand to Asher.
01:42If you're my boyfriend, then take me home.
01:44The calm on Zayn's face vanished in an instant, and his face went completely white.
01:49Asher took me back to his apartment, and led me into the master bedroom.
01:53He told me to get some rest, and said this would be my home from now on.
01:57The doorbell suddenly rang.
01:59Asher turned to answer the door, and I quietly followed.
02:03Zayn's voice came from outside the door, with a careless laugh.
02:06Just play along for a couple weeks.
02:08I'm having way too much fun with Blair right now.
02:10Asher asked.
02:11Aren't you scared she'll get her memory back?
02:13Zayn laughed.
02:14What's to be scared of?
02:16She's obsessed with me.
02:17Once I'm done messing around, a few sweet words will fix everything.
02:21Two years with her, I've been bored out of my mind for ages.
02:24I clenched my fists so tight, my knuckles turned white.
02:27Turns out, two years of my whole heart was worth nothing to him.
02:31I accidentally knocked into a decor piece by the door, making a sharp clink.
02:36Zayn suddenly snapped.
02:37Who's there?
02:38I spun around and ran to the bedroom, jumped back into bed, and pretended I'd just woken up.
02:43The next second, Asher pushed open the bedroom door.
02:46He immediately saw that my bare feet were on the floor.
02:49I put on a confused look.
02:51Did we have a guest just now?
02:52I thought I heard voices.
02:54He smiled and said I was hearing things, picked me up, and set me down on the couch.
02:59The second he leaned down to hand me the glass, he bowed his head and kissed my forehead.
03:04I froze up in shock.
03:06He leaned in close to my ear.
03:08Even if you don't remember, I'll make you fall in love with me all over again.
03:11My heart skipped a beat, and my pulse went haywire.
03:15That night, Asher took me to a campus weekend party at the fraternity house.
03:19I pushed open the lounge door and saw Zayn and Blair sharing a single cherry mouth-to-mouth
03:24while everyone around them cheered and teased.
03:26The two of them kissed deeply in front of everyone, like no one else was there.
03:30When Blair saw me walk in, she clung to Zayn even tighter.
03:33She smiled and said,
03:35My boyfriend Zayn and I have been waiting for you two lovebirds forever.
03:38I lost during the game.
03:40The penalty for truth or dare was to kiss anyone in the room for 30 seconds.
03:44Everyone waited for me to pick Zayn.
03:46He leaned back on the couch, totally sure that even if I was faking amnesia, I could never leave him.
03:51I looked at Zayn, then turned to Asher beside me and pointed my finger straight at him.
03:56I smiled and said,
03:58I picked my boyfriend, obviously.
04:00The whole room erupted in chaos, and Zayn's face darkened instantly.
04:04I wrapped my arms around Asher's neck and kissed him first.
04:08The second I kissed Asher first, Zayn completely lost it.
04:13Asher was shocked by my boldness, but the next second he took control,
04:16wrapped his arms tight around my waist, and kissed me back without holding back.
04:20Cheers around us got louder and louder.
04:22Zayn clenched his fists and shot up from the couch.
04:25He suddenly roared.
04:27Enough.
04:27He stared daggers at us, rage practically pouring out of his eyes.
04:32Asher pulled away from me, wiped the wine from the corner of my mouth,
04:35and didn't pay Zayn's tantrum any mind at all.
04:37I looked at Zayn's livid face and felt nothing but amusement.
04:41Zayn slammed the door and stormed out to the backyard patio.
04:45Asher stood up and followed him out.
04:46I snuck after them, but as soon as I rounded the hallway,
04:49Asher pushed me up against the wall and bowed his head to kiss me.
04:54Asher's sudden cabin left me frozen on the spot.
04:57I tried to push him away on instinct, but he held the back of my head and kissed me even
05:02deeper.
05:03After a long moment, he pulled away, brushed his thumb across my cheek, and chuckled softly.
05:08We're one step closer, aren't we?
05:10I stared at him.
05:11My mind flooded with memories from two years ago.
05:14Two years ago, Zayn first brought me into his friend group at a freshman welcome party.
05:18Asher stood up right then and there, and made it clear he was against us dating.
05:22He stared at me coldly, his voice full of disdain.
05:25You don't deserve Zayn at all.
05:27Everyone in the group said he was the one who hated me the most.
05:31He smiled and brushed a strand of hair behind my ear.
05:34The fireworks are about to start outside.
05:37Wanna go watch?
05:37I looked into his eyes, and suddenly, I couldn't figure this man out at all.
05:43When Asher and I got to the patio, fireworks were bursting across the night sky, bright and dazzling.
05:50Blair leaned into Zayn's arms, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed his cheek.
05:54Zayn smiled and tapped the tip of her nose, his eyes filled with a softness I'd never seen before.
06:00When she saw me coming, Blair immediately shoved her phone into my hand.
06:03Today's my anniversary with Zayn. Can you take some photos of us?
06:06He bragged that Zayn planned a romantic surprise for her every anniversary.
06:10Last year, it was a rain of roses outside her dorm.
06:14The year before, it was stargazing on a camping trip.
06:17I felt nothing but bitter irony.
06:19These were all things he used to only do for me.
06:22The romance he once said was only mine, he'd now given to someone else entirely.
06:26Just as I clenched the phone so tight my knuckles turned white, Asher reached out and took it from me.
06:31He stared coldly at Blair and Zayn, his voice sharp and unforgiving.
06:35My girlfriend isn't here to be your personal photographer.
06:38The next second, Zayn's face darkened completely.
06:42The party wound down, and our group headed to a nearby hotel.
06:46The front desk only had two rooms available.
06:49Zayn shooed Blair away and pulled Asher toward a corner in the hallway.
06:52I pretended to head to my room but doubled back, hiding behind the wall where I could hear every word.
06:57You aren't actually planning on sharing a room with her, are you?
07:00Zayn demanded.
07:01Asher shrugged, his voice dripping with casual indifference.
07:03But he's just a room, Zayn.
07:05What are you so worked up about?
07:07Zayn was fuming, his breathing ragged and uneven.
07:10That's not the point.
07:11A guy and a girl alone in a room?
07:13Do you have any idea how that looks?
07:15It's completely inappropriate.
07:17Asher's tone shifted, becoming pointed.
07:19And what about you?
07:20Are you having a good time with Blair?
07:22Is she more relaxing to be around than her?
07:26Zayn went silent for a beat.
07:28When he spoke, his voice was low.
07:30Being with Blair, it reminds me of how things used to be between us.
07:34She's more submissive.
07:35She actually looks after me.
07:37Then came the kicker.
07:38He continued, but we've been together for years.
07:41You don't just throw that away.
07:43She's the one I truly love.
07:45Once I've had my fun, I'll just give her an apology.
07:48And she'll come crawling back to me like she always does.
07:50Leaning against the wall, I let out a sharp, bitter laugh.
07:54Two years of my life, two years of history, and in his mind, it was all so disposable.
08:00So cheap.
08:01Back in the room, I had just stepped out of the shower and was towel drying my hair.
08:06Suddenly, Asher's arms wrapped around me from behind, pulling me flush against him.
08:10Is this okay?
08:11He whispered into my ear.
08:13I didn't pull away.
08:14Instead, I turned around and locked my arms tightly around his neck, pulling him down toward me.
08:19He eased me onto the bed, his lips meeting mine in a deep kiss.
08:23But I never realized just how paper-thin the walls in this place were.
08:27Zane, in the room next door, must have heard everything.
08:30Before I could even catch my breath, the sound of wood splintering echoed through the room.
08:35Zane had kicked the door wide open.
08:38The moment the door flew open, Zane froze.
08:41He stood there, trembling with rage, pointing at us on the bed.
08:46Unable to squeeze out a single word, Asher calmly pulled the duvet over me and stood up.
08:51Is this fun for you?
08:53Abandoning your own girlfriend to eavesdrop on us?
08:56Don't you think you're crossing a line?
08:58Zane snapped.
08:59He lunged forward, grabbing Asher by the collar and dragging him into the hallway.
09:04He threw a punch straight into Asher's face, his eyes wild with a delusional sense of possession.
09:09How dare you lay a finger on my woman?
09:11Asher wiped the blood from his lip and fired back with a punch of his own.
09:15He said coldly,
09:16Ask yourself, do you even deserve her?
09:19Zane sneered, full of unearned confidence.
09:22He claimed that the moment I regained my memory, I'd forgive him that Asher was just a rebound taking advantage
09:28of the situation.
09:29A clown who would be discarded in the end.
09:31He had no idea that Blair was standing around the corner, taking in every word.
09:36Blair suddenly burst into my room, slamming a stack of intimate photos of me and Zane down in front of
09:41me.
09:42Her eyes were bloodshot as she shrieked.
09:44You never lost your memory, did you?
09:47She glared at me as if she'd finally caught me red-handed.
09:50She accused me of playing everyone from the start, claiming I was faking Amnesia just to use Asher as a
09:56tool for revenge against Zane.
09:58Waving her phone in my face, she threatened to expose my true colors to both of them.
10:02I watched her frantic meltdown and burst into laughter.
10:05Even if you tell them, what then?
10:07I asked.
10:08I'll just cry and say Zane lied to me first, that he was the one who pushed me into someone
10:13else's arms.
10:13Who do you think he'll believe?
10:15You or me?
10:17Blair's face went ghost white.
10:19She looked at me as if she were seeing a stranger, she whispered, her voice trembling.
10:23You're a monster!
10:24You're just playing with everyone's hearts.
10:26My smile only widened.
10:28I'd rather be a monster than the pathetic fool who got stabbed in the back by her boyfriend and her
10:33best friend.
10:34I leaned in and peeled back her insecurities.
10:36She had spent so much energy seducing Zane and stealing my man just so she could feel superior to me
10:41at school.
10:42Her face flushed with a mix of rage and humiliation.
10:45She screamed.
10:46You don't love Zane.
10:47You never cared about him.
10:49I did love him, I countered coldly, but he betrayed me.
10:53Tell me, Blair, do you have the guts to say any of this to Zane's face?
10:57She lost her nerve instantly.
10:59Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
11:01Zane's voice drifted in from the hallway, saying he had something important to tell me.
11:06Blair physically recoiled, terrified that Zane had overheard us.
11:09I looked toward the door and called out with a smirk.
11:12Asher's taking me out tomorrow.
11:14Whatever it is, it can wait.
11:16Outside, I heard the sound of Zane's fist clenching so hard his knuckles clacked.
11:23Zane in the hallway was already seeing red.
11:25He grabbed Asher by the collar, saying the act was over, and he didn't need Asher to pretend to be
11:30my boyfriend anymore.
11:31Asher let out a cold laugh, shook off his hand, and said,
11:35Dare you tell her the truth?
11:37Dare you say you're the one who handed her to me in the first place?
11:40Zane was instantly lost for words, unable to say a single thing.
11:44Asher looked at him, his voice, deadly serious.
11:47Why don't you just let it go?
11:49I'll take care of her, and love her for the rest of her life.
11:52Zane flew into a rage, screaming that it was impossible.
11:56She's the woman I love.
11:57I will never hand her over to you.
11:59He said he'd break up with Blair the next day, tell me everything, and make a bet with Asher on
12:04who I'd choose in the end.
12:05Asher agreed to the bet with a cold laugh.
12:07Neither of them knew I was standing behind the wall, hearing every single word.
12:13Listening to their conversation, I felt nothing but bitter irony.
12:17I turned and went back to the room.
12:19Blair was still frozen in place, and I felt nothing but pity for her seething rage.
12:23She still hadn't realized that Zane had never truly loved her.
12:27I looked at her, my voice calm.
12:29A guy like Zane?
12:30I don't want him, and I'd never fight for him.
12:33Blair's eyes went wide, and she suddenly snapped.
12:36You just want Asher for his money.
12:38Don't act like you're better than everyone else.
12:40I looked at her, and felt nothing but amusement.
12:43I picked up the scissors on the table, sliced through the decorative ribbon in her hand, and my voice turned
12:49ice cold.
12:50If you get it, then get the hell out.
12:52Blair's whole body shook with fear, and she didn't dare say another word.
12:57The next day, I followed Asher, Zane, and Blair into the ice hockey rink.
13:01Zane's eyes never left me.
13:03I linked arms with Asher, leaning close to his ear, pretending to be worried.
13:06I'm not very good at this.
13:08I'm scared I might fall.
13:09Asher's lips brushed against my ear as he replied, his tone dripping with ambiguity.
13:13Then I'll hold your hand.
13:14Just hold on to me tightly, like you did last night.
13:17I smiled and agreed, but out of the corner of my eye, I caught Zane's face.
13:21His expression was filled with jealousy and fury.
13:23Blair quickly wrapped her arm around Zane's, leaning into him coquettishly, begging him to teach her.
13:28But Zane's gaze remained fixed on me the entire time, not sparing her a single glance.
13:33Zane suddenly interrupted us, insisting that the activity was too dangerous for the girls,
13:38and suggesting we go somewhere else.
13:39I pressed a kiss to Asher's cheek.
13:41With my boyfriend here, I'm not afraid of anything.
13:43Zane grew agitated.
13:44Clara, wait.
13:45I need to talk to you.
13:46I looked at him with feigned surprise, pretending to be completely clueless.
13:50Didn't we agree to have fun today?
13:52Let's talk when we get back.
13:53With that, I linked arms with Asher again and headed toward the lounge area.
13:56Zane tried to follow, but Blair held him back tightly.
14:00As he watched us walk away, our intimate figures igniting something in him,
14:04his eyes burned with envy.
14:06I fed Asher strawberries one by one.
14:08He grabbed my hand and licked the juice off my fingertips, leaving nothing behind.
14:12Zane's fury erupted.
14:14What the hell are you two doing?
14:15Asher and I turned to him simultaneously, our expressions mocking,
14:19as if we were looking at some inexplicable madman.
14:23Watching him seethe with anger, I felt nothing but pure satisfaction.
14:28Zane was shaking with rage, telling us to stop acting so inappropriately in public.
14:33Asher pulled me tight into his arms.
14:35I'm being affectionate with my girlfriend.
14:38How is that any of your business?
14:39I smiled and fed Asher another strawberry,
14:42leaning into his ear to say the strawberries weren't as sweet as him.
14:46Zane was about to blow up.
14:48Blair stepped forward to pull him away, begging him to go practice.
14:51But Zane was torn.
14:52He was probably planning to break things off with Blair for good,
14:55then come crawling back to me.
14:57Sure enough, he ripped his hand away from Blair and said coldly,
15:01Blair, I need to talk to you.
15:03It's important.
15:03Blair panicked, turned to me and begged.
15:06Clara, didn't you say you'd race me skating?
15:08Can we do that now, please?
15:09I turned to Asher and smiled.
15:12You're gonna teach me to skate, right?
15:14Don't let me lose.
15:15Asher bent down, picked me up in his arms, and strode toward the ice rink.
15:20I leaned into Asher's chest, a cold smirk tugging at the corner of my mouth.
15:24This is what I wanted, to make him want what he could never have.
15:28Asher set me down, held my hands from behind, and taught me how to skate.
15:32He stood so close, his breath fanning across my neck.
15:36I teased him on purpose.
15:37Are you teaching me to skate, or just using this as an excuse to fill me up?
15:41He smiled and nuzzled my shoulder, teaching me patiently, terrified I'd fall.
15:46Just then, we heard Blair's scream cut through the air.
15:49A backup player had lost control, and was speeding straight toward Zayn.
15:53Blair screamed and ran forward, shoving Zayn out of the way.
15:56The skate blade sliced into her thigh, blood gushing out instantly, staining her short skirt bright red.
16:01Zayn held her in his arms, his face filled with concern, and immediately called for the campus medics.
16:07As the medics carried Blair away, she shot me a smug, provocative look.
16:11Asher wrapped his arms around me from behind, his voice thick with fear, holding me tight against his chest.
16:18In the hospital room, Zayn had just set Blair down on the bed.
16:22When he looked up, he saw Asher and I embracing outside the room through the window.
16:26His face changed instantly.
16:28He clenched his fists, and was about to storm out.
16:31Blair panicked, grabbed his hand, and begged him through tears to stay.
16:34But Zayn ripped his hand away without hesitation, his voice ice-cold and completely unfeeling.
16:41What happened between you and me was a mistake.
16:43Now I need to fix what I broke.
16:45With that, he stormed out of the campus hospital without looking back, leaving Blair alone on the bed, screaming and
16:51crying hysterically.
16:52Blair stared daggers at my face.
16:54Her eyes filled with venom, every word ridded through her teeth.
16:57She said,
16:58Clara, I will make you regret this.
17:01When Zayn stormed over, Asher and I were talking about an art exhibition.
17:04I told Asher I wanted to submit my graduation project to an art competition.
17:09Asher smiled and ruffled my hair.
17:11His eyes filled with soft affection.
17:14I stood on my tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek.
17:17Just then, Zayn suddenly ran over.
17:19Clara, Blair, and I are over.
17:21It was a mistake, and I've ended it for good.
17:24I frowned and hid behind Asher, staring at him with a confused look.
17:29What does any of that have to do with me?
17:31Zayn suddenly stepped forward, grabbed me by the shoulders, and screamed.
17:34His eyes bloodshot.
17:36Clara, it's me.
17:37I'm your boyfriend.
17:39The moment he spoke those words, the atmosphere in the room froze solid.
17:44Zayn and Asher were on edge, ready to throw down at any moment.
17:47I suddenly burst into laughter.
17:49I linked arms with Asher, wearing an innocent look on my face.
17:53I said,
17:54Zayn, did you lose a bet or something?
17:57Come out here talking this nonsense to me.
17:59Upon hearing my words, Zayn reached out at once to take my hand, his tone urgent.
18:05Clara, I'm serious.
18:07I'm the one who's your boyfriend.
18:08I roughly snatched my hand away from him, staring at him angrily.
18:12It's just a game.
18:14Don't take it so seriously.
18:16Asher is your best buddy.
18:18How could you do this to him?
18:20Come on, she's your buddy's girl.
18:21You don't get that rule?
18:23You're no longer my brother.
18:25You stole her from me.
18:26As soon as the words were out, Zayn threw a punch at Asher.
18:30Asher caught his fist in midair, staring at him coldly.
18:34Zayn lost his completely, roaring with bloodshot eyes.
18:38Give her back to me, or all these years of brotherhood are down the drain.
18:42Asher punched him in the face.
18:44Clara's my girlfriend now.
18:46Keep your hands off her.
18:48Get back to Blair and leave her be.
18:50With that, Asher turned and approached me.
18:52I hurried over to him, slipping my arm through his wrist as I smiled up at him, sweet as can
18:59be.
19:00Zayn remained where he stood, jealousy driving him crazy.
19:05On the way back, Asher kept glancing at my face cautiously, trying to reassure me not to take Zayn's words
19:12to heart.
19:12I leaned against his shoulder, smiling, and told him I wouldn't buy a word of a stranger's nonsense.
19:18Asher let out an obvious sigh of relief, smiled, and said to me,
19:23I'm taking you somewhere nice.
19:25I've got a surprise for you.
19:27Asher took my hand and led me into a beautifully decorated exhibition hall.
19:31He pointed at the walls covered with paintings and looked at me with a smile.
19:36All of these are yours.
19:38You've been dreaming of being an artist, right?
19:40I submitted your work for the contest.
19:44I stared at the wall covered with paintings, and my eyes instantly filled with tears.
19:49I threw myself into Asher's arms, my heart filled with mixed emotions.
19:53The person I once thought hated me the most has actually kept my dream firmly in his heart.
19:59The attention and care Asher puts in is something I never received from Zayn.
20:04Asher pulled me into a tight smile and hugged me back,
20:07saying that supporting my dreams is what a boyfriend does.
20:10Previously, whenever I showed my paintings to Zayn,
20:13he would just wave me off impatiently, telling me not to waste his time.
20:18You stand a chance at winning an award.
20:21Just then, Blair's Instagram popped up on my phone.
20:24She posted photos of the flowers from Zayn with the caption,
20:28It feels so good to be loved.
20:30Asher frowned, took my phone, and flipped it face down to silence the screen.
20:35I grinned, wrapping my arm around his neck, deliberately teasing him.
20:40I said,
20:41Come on, are you jealous?
20:43When you're with me, keep your mind off someone else.
20:46He suddenly swept me up in his arms,
20:49smiling as he strode confidently toward the podium.
20:53The flashbulbs beneath the stage erupted into a sea of light in an instant.
20:58At that moment, in the hospital ward,
21:01Zayn, who was absently peeling an apple for Blair,
21:04caught sight of the news of my award win.
21:07Miss Clara is a unique drawing prodigy.
21:09Her art took first place in the competition.
21:11The moment Zayn saw it, the apple in his hand slammed to the ground.
21:16Zayn jumped up and rushed out in a hurry.
21:18Blair panicked, fell off the bed straight away,
21:21clung to his legs crying, and pleaded with him to stay.
21:23Zayn, you left me once already.
21:26Please, don't leave me again.
21:29It's my business.
21:30You don't need to worry about it from now on.
21:32Zayn, you did this to me.
21:34I will make you regret it for the rest of your life.
21:37Zayn rushed out of the hospital without looking back.
21:40Blair slumped on the cold floor,
21:42her eyes blazing with frenzied malice.
21:45As Zayn arrived at the exhibition hall,
21:47I was standing on the podium delivering a speech.
21:50I held the trophy and began to speak with a smile.
21:53If I stand here today,
21:55the person I owe the most to is my boyfriend.
21:58Without him, I would not be where I am today.
22:00Hearing my words,
22:02Zayn standing in the crowd suddenly brightened up.
22:04He thought I was talking about him as my boyfriend.
22:06But in the next second,
22:08I smiled and looked out at Asher in the audience,
22:11calling out his name loudly
22:12and inviting him up to share this moment of glory with me.
22:15Asher held a bouquet of flowers
22:18and walked up the stage with a smile.
22:21Zayn stiffened in place,
22:23thunderstruck.
22:24His look of anticipation crumbled completely.
22:27He abruptly went berserk and stormed onto the stage,
22:30yanking me away from Asher forcefully.
22:33He screamed.
22:35Everyone stared at Zayn in astonishment,
22:37but he seemed unbothered.
22:39His eyes red as he looked straight at me.
22:42I'm the one who's always supported her dreams,
22:44not Asher.
22:45Asher looked at him coldly,
22:47his voice dripping with sarcasm.
22:50Oh?
22:50What's your evidence?
22:52Zayn was rendered speechless in an instant,
22:55not a single word crossing his lips,
22:57his face drained of color.
22:59Asher leaned in toward him,
23:01lowering his voice.
23:02Have you really supported her dreams all these years?
23:05I was the one who made them come true,
23:08not you.
23:08I looked at Zayn indifferently,
23:10telling him to leave at once
23:12and not disturb my award ceremony.
23:14Zayn trembled all over and stumbled back,
23:17his eyes filled with disbelief.
23:19Suddenly,
23:20he looked at me and shouted,
23:22Tomorrow is the anniversary of your mother's death.
23:25I'll be waiting for you at the cemetery.
23:27If you show up,
23:28everything will come flooding back to you.
23:30Security rushed in to drag Zayn away.
23:33Unwilling to surrender,
23:34he kept yelling,
23:35Meet me at the cemetery tomorrow.
23:38Asher's expression darkened instantly.
23:40He pulled me tightly into his arms,
23:43shielding me from everyone's gaze,
23:45whispering to soothe my nerves.
23:47I smiled calmly,
23:49brushing off his words.
23:51Little did he know that the anniversary of my mother's passing
23:54was something I held dear.
23:56Zayn thought that by using my mom,
23:58he could move me and bring me back to him.
24:00But what he doesn't know is that if my mom were still here,
24:03she'd just urge me to leave this jerk without hesitation.
24:07Nervous,
24:08Asher kept his eyes on me and opened his mouth to speak.
24:11I put a finger on his lips,
24:13smiled,
24:13and told him to stick with me for the rest of the awards show.
24:17Back at home,
24:18Asher suddenly grabbed me from behind,
24:20his voice low and laced with worry.
24:23If one day you find out I lied to you,
24:25will you leave me?
24:27His sudden question made my heart skip a beat.
24:30I turned around in surprise,
24:32looked at him,
24:33and asked why he suddenly said that.
24:35He snapped out of it,
24:36smiled immediately to hide the unease in his eyes,
24:39and said he was just a bit worried
24:40that Zayn had been keeping his eyes on me.
24:43If Zayn and I were to court you at the same time,
24:45who would you choose?
24:47I didn't hesitate.
24:49I leaned over and kissed him,
24:51grinning confidently,
24:52with a determined look on my face.
24:55Of course,
24:56I'd choose you.
24:58I smiled as I leaned in to whisper in his ear,
25:00my voice laced with ambiguity.
25:03Zayn is losing his mind every day.
25:05I'm not gonna put myself through that.
25:07He smiled and asked me,
25:09What about me?
25:10I sized him up from head to toe,
25:12leaned in to whisper in his ear,
25:14and said with a smile,
25:16Well,
25:16you're quite strong.
25:18He pulled me close all at once,
25:20his tone a little hurried.
25:21You're playing with fire.
25:23I smiled and said,
25:24Why do you always worry that I'll leave?
25:26If you've got the guts,
25:28just hold me tighter.
25:29He couldn't hold on any longer.
25:31He picked me up,
25:33tossed me on the bed,
25:34and descended over me.
25:35I've figured out how to make you stay.
25:38Gasping for air,
25:39I asked him,
25:40How?
25:41We're going to have a baby.
25:43My eyes widened in an instant,
25:45and I was totally flabbergasted.
25:47I only wanted to get back at Zayn.
25:50I never thought I'd end up here with Asher.
25:53Looking into his eyes,
25:54I found myself shaken.
25:57The next day was my mother's death anniversary,
25:59and I went to the cemetery with Asher.
26:02When we arrived,
26:03Zayn was already there.
26:04He had tidied up the area around my mother's gravestone
26:07until it was spotless,
26:08not a single weed in sight.
26:09When he saw me coming,
26:11his eyes lit up instantly,
26:12and he rushed toward me excitedly.
26:14Asher stepped forward and shielded me behind him.
26:17Zayn looked at us,
26:18smiling eagerly.
26:19He said,
26:20Clara,
26:20I've already cleaned everything here.
26:22Auntie loved cleanliness the most.
26:23Asher, however, spoke calmly,
26:25his tone steady but brimming with confidence.
26:27He said,
26:28I sent someone to clean it yesterday.
26:30From now on,
26:30I'll come with Clara to visit Auntie often,
26:32so I won't trouble you anymore.
26:34Zayn's face instantly darkened.
26:36He turned to me and said urgently,
26:38Clara,
26:38looking at Auntie's gravestone,
26:39does it remind you of anything?
26:41I gazed at the gravestone and murmured softly.
26:43I,
26:44I think I remember.
26:45When Asher heard what I said,
26:46he immediately panicked.
26:49After I said this,
26:51Zayn stood there excitedly,
26:52waiting for me to call out his name,
26:54his eyes full of anticipation.
26:56But I turned and looked at Asher beside me with a smile,
26:59holding his hand tightly.
27:00I said,
27:01I remember now.
27:01The one who came with me last time to visit my mom is my boyfriend,
27:05Asher.
27:05Asher instantly let out a sigh of relief,
27:07and held my hand in return,
27:09his eyes filled with tenderness.
27:10Zayn stood frozen in place,
27:12looking at me in disbelief,
27:14the anticipation in his face vanishing in an instant,
27:16flustered.
27:17His eyes reddened,
27:18and he rushed forward,
27:19trying to take my hand.
27:20He shouted,
27:21No,
27:21the one who came with you was me,
27:23not him,
27:23Clara.
27:24Think again.
27:24I looked at him helplessly,
27:26my tone filled with confusion.
27:27I said,
27:28Back then,
27:29you clearly said yourself that you were Blair's boyfriend,
27:31so why are you saying something like this now?
27:33Asher sneered and told him not to make a scene on such an occasion,
27:37disturbing my mom.
27:38Asher and I knelt down together to offer incense to mom.
27:42I smiled and told mom that I had found a wonderful boyfriend who treated me very well.
27:46Zayn stood nearby,
27:48listening to my words,
27:49and then gave himself a hard slap on the face.
27:52Both Asher and I looked over in shock.
27:55That slap made the atmosphere in the air freeze completely.
27:59Zayn looked at me,
28:00tears streaming down his face,
28:02and walked toward me step by step,
28:04his voice thick with regret.
28:06He said,
28:07Clara,
28:07I'm so sorry.
28:09I know I messed up.
28:10Please give me one more chance.
28:12Can we start over?
28:13I frowned,
28:14and stepped back to hide behind Asher.
28:16Asher stared at him with contempt,
28:18saying he had no right to say any of this here.
28:21Asher turned,
28:22lit three incense sticks for my mom respectfully,
28:25and raised his hand to swear an oath.
28:27He said,
28:28Auntie,
28:28I swear to you,
28:30I will never break Clara's heart for as long as I live.
28:33I will love her,
28:34and care for her forever.
28:36With that,
28:36he smiled at the headstone,
28:38his voice full of joy.
28:39He said,
28:40I also have good news to tell you.
28:42Clara and I are trying to have a baby.
28:45Zayn's face changed instantly,
28:47like he'd been struck by lightning,
28:49his whole body shaking.
28:51I smiled and touched my stomach,
28:53whispering softly to the headstone.
28:54I said,
28:56Mom,
28:56maybe our little one is already here.
28:58Zayn suddenly screamed,
29:00No,
29:01this can't be real.
29:03Zayn's scream echoed through the quiet cemetery,
29:07sharp,
29:07and jarring.
29:08Zayn stared at me in disbelief,
29:10his eyes bloodshot,
29:12screaming and yelling at Asher.
29:13He shouted,
29:14What the hell did you do to her?
29:16How dare you get her pregnant with your kid?
29:18My face turned ice cold instantly,
29:20and I snapped at him to stop yelling
29:22and making a scene in front of my mom's grave.
29:25I said,
29:26He's my boyfriend,
29:27and we're getting married soon.
29:28It's perfectly normal for me to have his baby.
29:31Asher's face lit up with pure joy.
29:33He picked me up and spun me around,
29:35grinning from ear to ear.
29:37He said,
29:38Baby,
29:38don't worry.
29:39I'll start planning our wedding right away.
29:41I smiled and tapped his forehead,
29:44teasing him on purpose.
29:45I said,
29:46What?
29:47You wanna get on the boat before you buy the ticket?
29:49He said,
29:50Well,
29:50are you gonna sell me the ticket?
29:52I said,
29:53As long as you love me with all your heart,
29:55I'd marry you in a heartbeat.
29:57Zayn panicked,
29:58ran forward,
29:58and grabbed my arm,
30:00his eyes red like they were bleeding.
30:01He shouted,
30:02No,
30:03Clara,
30:04you can't marry him.
30:05The only man you'll ever marry is me.
30:08The second Zayn grabbed me,
30:09I snapped completely.
30:11Asher's face darkened.
30:12He immediately stepped forward,
30:14pulled me back to his side,
30:15ripped Zayn's hand off me,
30:17and snapped at him to stop acting like a maniac.
30:19Asher said,
30:20There's no place for you in Clara's life anymore.
30:23It's gone.
30:24Zayn stared at Asher with bloodshot eyes,
30:26his voice filled with bitter resentment.
30:28He shouted,
30:29I was with her for two years.
30:31You've only been with her for a few days.
30:33What makes you think you can take her from me?
30:35A sharp crack rang out.
30:37I slapped Zayn hard across the face.
30:39He held his cheek,
30:41staring at me in disbelief,
30:43his eyes filled with hurt.
30:44I stared at him coldly,
30:46my voice completely devoid of warmth.
30:48I said,
30:49I put up with you out of respect for you cleaning my mom's grave.
30:52But you keep trying to come between me and my boyfriend,
30:55and I'm done with it.
30:57We heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming from far away.
31:01I just said I was getting married,
31:03when Blair came running over,
31:04holding a positive pregnancy test.
31:06She clutched the pregnancy test tight in her hand,
31:09ran up to Zayn,
31:10and smiled shyly.
31:11Zayn,
31:12amazing news.
31:13I'm pregnant.
31:14The whole place went completely silent.
31:17Everyone froze.
31:18Zayn held the pregnancy test,
31:20his hands shaking violently.
31:22This baby,
31:23is it mine?
31:24Blair nodded shyly,
31:25and leaned into Zayn's chest.
31:27That night we spent together.
31:29The baby is definitely yours.
31:30Asher spoke with a smile,
31:32his voice dripping with sarcasm.
31:34Wow.
31:35Clara and I just started trying,
31:37and you're already pregnant.
31:38Congratulations.
31:39I walked forward,
31:40took Blair's hand,
31:42and smiled,
31:43congratulating her.
31:44But Blair suddenly leaned into my ear,
31:46her voice smug and triumphant.
31:48I win this round.
31:50I smiled,
31:51my voice calm.
31:52Zayn's already tainted.
31:53You can have him.
31:54I don't care at all.
31:56Blair's face went completely white in an instant.
32:00Blair's face twisted with rage and shock.
32:03She stared at me,
32:03and spoke in disbelief.
32:05How can you not be mad?
32:06You loved him for two years.
32:08I smiled and shook my head.
32:10I don't love him anymore,
32:12so why would I be mad?
32:13Zayn panicked.
32:14Grabbed me by the shoulders,
32:16his voice desperate.
32:17Clara,
32:18this baby isn't necessarily mine.
32:20I would never cheat on you.
32:21My face turned ice cold instantly,
32:23and I ripped my hand away from Zayn.
32:26Blair is your girlfriend,
32:27and she's pregnant with your baby.
32:29How could you say that?
32:30A deadbeat like you?
32:31What makes you think I'd ever want you?
32:33Asher let out a cold laugh beside me.
32:36Blair looked at Zayn through tears,
32:38her voice filled with despair.
32:40Zayn,
32:40I'm carrying your baby.
32:42Why won't you marry me?
32:43But Zayn looked at me,
32:45his eyes bloodshot,
32:46and spoke every word slowly and deliberately.
32:49You're the only one in my heart.
32:51I will never marry anyone but you for the rest of my life.
32:55Hearing Zayn's confession,
32:57I felt nothing but pure disgust.
32:59Blair looked like she'd been struck by lightning.
33:01She collapsed to the ground,
33:03tears streaming down her face nonstop.
33:05I looked at Zayn and slapped him hard across the face again.
33:08Blair is pregnant with your baby,
33:10and you say that?
33:11What the hell is wrong with you?
33:13Zayn didn't even flinch.
33:14He stared straight at me,
33:16holding his stinging cheek,
33:18his voice obsessive.
33:19When you get your memory back,
33:21you'll know I only ever truly loved you.
33:23Hearing those words made me even more disgusted,
33:26so I slapped him again.
33:27My boyfriend is Asher.
33:29It will never be you.
33:30Give it up.
33:31Blair stared at me,
33:32venom practically pouring out of her eyes.
33:34She clenched her fists so tight,
33:37her nails dug into her palms.
33:39Zayn reached out to grab me.
33:41Just then,
33:42Blair suddenly doubled over,
33:43clutching her stomach,
33:44and let out a pained scream,
33:46her face going white as a sheet.
33:48I frowned,
33:49and told Zayn to take her to the hospital right now.
33:51Zayn hesitated for a second,
33:53then helped Blair up off the ground,
33:55his face twisted with conflict.
33:57When they got to the gate,
33:59Zayn called for his driver,
34:00and told him to take Blair to the hospital.
34:02Zayn looked at Blair,
34:04his voice ice cold and completely unfeeling.
34:07Get an abortion.
34:08I will never let this baby come between me and Clara.
34:12Blair looked like she'd been struck by lightning.
34:14She stared at Zayn in disbelief,
34:16tears bursting from her eyes instantly.
34:19Asher and I had followed them over,
34:20and we looked at Zayn with pure disgust.
34:23Blair collapsed to the ground,
34:24clutching her stomach,
34:25and let out a blood-curdling scream.
34:28Blood gushed out instantly,
34:30staining her white dress bright red.
34:33Ashley and I rushed Blair,
34:35who was lying in a pool of blood,
34:36to the hospital.
34:37The doctor came out of the operating room and said,
34:40the child didn't make it.
34:42Fortunately, the mother is going to be fine.
34:45Zayn stood at the door,
34:46clutching his head,
34:47and trembling all over,
34:49too scared to even enter the ward.
34:51Blair lay in the hospital bed,
34:53watched me push open the door,
34:55and suddenly burst into laughter,
34:57tears rolling down from the joy.
34:59I've given up.
35:00Once I recover,
35:01I'll leave here and never fight with you guys again.
35:03I raised an eyebrow at Blair
35:05and told her I didn't buy that for a second.
35:07Blair let out a bitter laugh,
35:09pulled a voice recorder out of his pocket,
35:11and handed it to me.
35:12You're amazing.
35:13Nothing gets past you.
35:14I looked at Blair and asked her why.
35:17Since she had Zayn's guilt,
35:19she didn't take the money and fly away.
35:22Blair looked at the ceiling,
35:23and tears slipped down silently.
35:25All I want is his love.
35:27Am I wrong?
35:28Suddenly,
35:29Blair pulled a knife from under the pillow,
35:31his eyes growing wild.
35:33Go to hell, Clara!
35:34Blair stabbed me hard in the heart with a knife.
35:38The moment the blade lunged at me,
35:41Asher and Zayn charged forward simultaneously.
35:44Asher cradled me close to his chest,
35:47using his body to shield me protectively.
35:49Zayn kicked Blair over.
35:51Blair fell to the ground,
35:53and the knife in his hand slipped out,
35:55making a clear sound.
35:57Zayn's eyes were red,
35:58and he was about to step on it.
36:00I immediately called out to him.
36:01Don't step on it!
36:03That knife is a fake prop!
36:04Asher quickly checked me from head to toe,
36:07fearing I was hurt,
36:08his voice trembling with fear.
36:10Are you okay?
36:11Did you hurt yourself?
36:13Tell me.
36:14I patted Asher on the back to calm him down,
36:17saying that I knew Blair well enough
36:19she would never risk her entire life
36:21for just one man.
36:22Blair collapsed on the ground,
36:24suddenly bursting into hysterical laughter,
36:27and slowly began to speak.
36:29Both of you men have been totally taken in
36:31by a woman's tricks.
36:32Clara, she didn't lose her memory at all.
36:35The moment Blair finished speaking,
36:37the entire ward fell silent.
36:39Zayn whipped around to glare at Blair,
36:41demanding she shut up and stop talking nonsense.
36:45Are you crazy?
36:46Blair laughed even harder,
36:47and said Zayn was a coward.
36:49He was clearly afraid of the truth,
36:51yet he still insisted on deceiving himself.
36:54Clara didn't have amnesia,
36:55but she still stayed with Asher
36:57because she didn't love you anymore, Zayn.
36:59Asher spoke coldly,
37:01interrupting Blair's nonsense.
37:03I will always believe Clara.
37:05She is the true victim,
37:08while you, on the other hand,
37:11have hurt her time and time again.
37:14Zayn immediately chimed in,
37:16saying he would never believe a word Blair said.
37:19Blair looked at the two of them,
37:21laughing until tears came to her eyes,
37:23and said to me provocatively,
37:24Do you dare to ask Clara directly
37:27whether she has really lost her memory?
37:30Zayn and Asher both turned to look at me at the same time.
37:33Zayn's whole body was shaking.
37:35He couldn't even look me in the eye,
37:37muttering to himself,
37:38This isn't real.
37:39There's no way.
37:40Zayn's eyes shook with fear,
37:42terrified that I'd chosen Asher of my own free will.
37:45Asher panicked too.
37:47He grabbed my hand,
37:48trying to take me away from this mess,
37:50even whispering a plea to me.
37:52Clara, let's go.
37:54I'm begging you.
37:55I gently pulled my hand away from Asher,
37:57shook my head,
37:58my voice calm.
37:59Running away won't fix this.
38:01It's time to end this once and for all.
38:03Zayn and Asher's faces both went completely white in an instant.
38:07Blair perked up instantly,
38:08staring at me intently,
38:10waiting for me to admit it myself.
38:11I smiled calmly.
38:13That's right.
38:14I never had amnesia,
38:15not even for a second.
38:17The second I admitted I'd never lost my memory,
38:20Zayn and Asher both froze completely.
38:22The whole room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
38:26Zayn stumbled backward,
38:27nearly falling to the floor,
38:29his eyes filled with utter despair.
38:31Asher looked down at the floor,
38:32his clenched fist shaking uncontrollably,
38:35but he didn't look at me.
38:36Blair let out a relieved laugh.
38:38Zayn looked at me,
38:39shaking,
38:40his eyes filled with disbelief.
38:42Clara, are you joking?
38:44Did you just get your memory back right now?
38:46Tell me you did.
38:47I stared at Zayn coldly,
38:48and told him I'd never had amnesia,
38:51from the very beginning.
38:53Zayn screamed,
38:54his eyes bloodshot,
38:55asking me why I'd done this to him.
38:57I laughed,
38:58and said it had all started as a joke.
39:00If you'd waited just one more second,
39:01I would have told you I was just messing with you.
39:04But you didn't wait.
39:05You immediately wrapped your arm around my best friend,
39:08and denied we were ever together.
39:10I stared at Zayn,
39:11my gaze heavy.
39:12How worthless am I to you?
39:16My question made Zayn's eyes fill with tears instantly.
39:20Zayn shook his head desperately,
39:22saying he'd just made a stupid mistake in the moment,
39:25grabbing me and begging for my forgiveness.
39:27I ripped my hand away from Zayn,
39:29cutting him off.
39:30You wrapped your arm around my best friend,
39:32handed me off to another guy,
39:34kissed her right in front of me,
39:36planned romantic surprises for her,
39:37and gave her every single thing you once gave only to me.
39:41I took a deep breath,
39:42looked at Zayn steadily,
39:44my voice calm,
39:45so I'm letting you go.
39:46When Zayn heard those words,
39:48he dropped to his knees right in front of me,
39:50tears streaming down his face,
39:51crawling forward to grab my legs.
39:53Clara, I know I messed up.
39:55I'm so sorry.
39:56Please, just give me one more chance.
39:58Zayn pulled a ring box out of his pocket with shaking hands,
40:02and slowly opened it.
40:03Inside was a sparkling diamond ring.
40:05I looked at the ring in Zayn's hand,
40:07and felt nothing but bitter irony.
40:10Zayn held the ring out to me,
40:12crying as he spoke.
40:13You're the only one I've ever loved.
40:15You're the only one I ever wanted to marry.
40:17Clara, will you marry me?
40:19Zayn's hand shook,
40:20as he tried to slide the ring onto my finger.
40:23Asher swatted the ring out of his hand.
40:25It clattered to the floor,
40:26and Asher snapped at Zayn furiously.
40:28One sorry doesn't fix all the hurt you put her through.
40:32You don't deserve to beg for her forgiveness.
40:34Zayn scrambled to give up the ring,
40:37held it out to me again,
40:38begging for a chance.
40:39His eyes filled with desperation.
40:41I looked at Zayn,
40:42smiled softly,
40:43and slowly held out my finger.
40:45Right as Zayn was about to slide the ring on,
40:48I swatted it out of his hand again,
40:49and spoke coldly.
40:51You don't deserve me.
40:53The ring fell to the floor,
40:55rolled to Asher's feet,
40:56and he kicked it away.
40:58Zayn looked at me,
40:59shaking,
41:00his eyes red,
41:01rambling off all the sweet memories we'd shared.
41:04You told me yourself you loved me,
41:05that you could never leave me.
41:07Did you forget?
41:08I closed my eyes,
41:10a single tear rolling down my cheek.
41:13All those sweet memories flashed through my mind one by one.
41:17I spoke softly,
41:19cutting Zayn off.
41:20You're right.
41:22I did love you,
41:23more than anything.
41:24But I don't,
41:26anymore.
41:27With that,
41:28I turned and walked away.
41:30Behind me,
41:31Zayn let out a desperate,
41:33broken scream.
41:34Asher stepped in front of Zayn to stop him from chasing me,
41:37then followed me out of the room.
41:39In the hospital room,
41:40only Zayn and Blair were left.
41:42Zayn collapsed to the floor,
41:44slapped himself hard across the face,
41:46and cried his heart out.
41:48I lost the person who loved me,
41:50more than anyone.
41:51Blair stared at him with hatred,
41:53her voice dripping with mockery.
41:55Now you're just like me,
41:56the person you loved more than anything left you.
41:59Are you happy now?
42:00Zayn's head shot up.
42:01He slapped Blair hard across the face,
42:03and screamed at the top of his lungs.
42:06It's not the same.
42:07Clara loved me so much.
42:08I can win her back.
42:10I know I can.
42:11Zayn ran out of the hospital room like a maniac,
42:14repeating my name over and over again.
42:17Blair held her stinging cheek,
42:19watched him leave,
42:20and cried her heart out.
42:22Back at the apartment,
42:23Asher sat on the couch with me in his arms,
42:26his eyes filled with soft warmth.
42:28I love you.
42:29Whether you had amnesia or not.
42:32With that,
42:32Asher got down on one knee
42:34and pulled out a velvet ring box.
42:36Inside was a simple,
42:37elegant diamond ring.
42:39Asher looked up at me,
42:40and proposed with all his heart.
42:43Clara,
42:44will you marry me?
42:45I looked at Asher,
42:46my expression shifting from surprise to confusion.
42:50That day at the hotel,
42:52you heard my conversation with Blair,
42:54didn't you?
42:54You knew I never had amnesia this whole time,
42:56right?
42:58Asher looked at me,
42:59and slowly nodded,
43:00not hiding a thing.
43:02Yeah,
43:02I heard it.
43:03I sat on the couch,
43:04my voice shaking,
43:05as I asked Asher,
43:06If you knew I was just playing games this whole time,
43:09why were you still so nice to me?
43:11Why did you propose?
43:12Asher shook his head,
43:13took my hand in his,
43:15and spoke with complete sincerity.
43:17None of this was your fault.
43:19It was all Zane.
43:20He betrayed you first.
43:22Besides,
43:22I love every part of you.
43:24No matter who you are,
43:25I love you.
43:26I looked into Asher's sincere eyes,
43:29and a genuine smile spread across my face,
43:31tears welling up in my eyes.
43:33I held out my finger,
43:35Asher slid the ring onto it,
43:37his hands shaking with excitement.
43:39It fit perfectly.
43:40Asher bowed his head,
43:42and pressed a soft, loving kiss to my finger.
43:45Just then,
43:46the apartment door was slammed open with a crash.
43:49Zane stood in the doorway,
43:51his eyes blazing with rage,
43:53screaming,
43:53Asher, how dare you?
43:55Asher and I both looked over at Zane in the doorway,
43:57slightly surprised.
43:59Zane looked terrible.
44:01His eyes were bloodshot,
44:02his clothes were messy,
44:03and he looked completely unhinged.
44:05He ran forward,
44:07trying to pull Asher away from me,
44:08but I stopped him.
44:09Zane,
44:10what do you think you're doing to my fiancé?
44:13Zane froze on the spot,
44:15staring at me in disbelief,
44:16repeating the word,
44:18fiancé,
44:19over and over again,
44:20like he couldn't believe what he'd heard.
44:22I wrapped my hand around Asher's,
44:24held up my ring to show him,
44:26and spoke with complete certainty.
44:28I said yes to Asher's proposal,
44:30he's my fiancé now.
44:32Zane panicked,
44:33saying Asher was manipulative,
44:35that he would never treat me right.
44:36I asked him coldly,
44:38my voice dripping with sarcasm.
44:40Even if Asher was the worst person alive,
44:43could he ever be worse than you,
44:45cheating on me with my best friend?
44:47Zane was instantly lost for words,
44:49like he'd been struck by lightning,
44:51unable to say a single thing.
44:53He dropped to his knees right in front of me,
44:55wrapped his arms around my legs,
44:56and begged me to give him one more chance.
45:00I pushed Zane away,
45:01completely unmoved by his begging.
45:03I told him firmly,
45:05that we were done.
45:06There was nothing left between us.
45:08Asher stepped forward,
45:09shielding me behind him,
45:11and spoke to Zane on the floor.
45:12I will protect Clara with my life.
45:15She doesn't need you.
45:16Just leave.
45:17I nodded,
45:18showing Zane no mercy at all.
45:20Just go.
45:20Don't make the memory of who you used to be,
45:22just as dirty as the person you are now.
45:25Zane's whole body shook violently,
45:27tears falling down his face in agony.
45:30He stumbled to his feet,
45:32and walked out of the apartment,
45:34broken and defeated.
45:35Back in the apartment,
45:36Asher held me in his arms,
45:38looking out the window,
45:39and asked if I was having second thoughts.
45:41I shook my head,
45:42saying he used to love me so much,
45:44but that love just couldn't stand the test of time.
45:47I looked up at Asher,
45:48and asked him seriously,
45:50what about you?
45:51Will you stop caring about me once you have me?
45:54Asher shook his head,
45:56didn't say a word,
45:56just took my hand,
45:58and led me into his study.
45:59He pulled the dust cover off the easel,
46:01and the walls behind it were covered in pencil sketches of me.
46:05Every bright moment of my life over the past two years,
46:07he'd drawn them all.
46:09Asher looked at me with so much love in his eyes,
46:12his voice soft and tender.
46:13I fell in love with you long before Zane ever did.
46:16I looked at the walls covered in drawings of me,
46:19and tears burst from my eyes instantly.
46:22Asher wrapped his arms around me from behind,
46:24and told me the secret he'd been hiding in his heart for two whole years.
46:28Two years ago in the campus art studio,
46:30he saw me for the first time.
46:32I was sitting there,
46:33painting quietly,
46:34the sun shining on me.
46:35In that moment,
46:36he fell in love with me,
46:37but the second time he saw me,
46:39Zane introduced me to him,
46:41saying I was his girlfriend.
46:43Asher's heart broke,
46:44he had to pretend he hated me on the surface,
46:46but he watched every little thing I did in secret.
46:49He drew every important moment of my life,
46:52until the whole study was filled with his heart.
46:54Until the day I faked M. Major,
46:56he finally saw his chance.
46:58Asher looked into my eyes,
47:00and said seriously,
47:01that he loved me so much,
47:03for two whole years.
47:04I looked at Asher's teary eyes,
47:07stood on my tiptoes,
47:08and kissed him first.
47:09I whispered against his lips,
47:11I love you too.
47:12The rain outside stopped,
47:14and sunlight streamed through the window,
47:16filling the room.
47:17Asher and I held each other,
47:18kissing,
47:19all the pain of the past finally melting away into something perfect.
