Short filmTranscript
00:05Three days after I died, my fiancé Logan got the call.
00:09To identify my body, he was lying in a woman's arms, lazy, uncaring.
00:13Dead?
00:15Fine.
00:16Cremate it first, then tell me.
00:18They burned my body, turned me into ashes, then called him again.
00:21He groaned, annoyed.
00:22Yeah, yeah, I'll be there.
00:24Two hours later, he showed up.
00:26Clothes messy, lips marked, just out of a woman's bed.
00:30The staff handed him the small box.
00:32He took it casually, a mocking smile in his eyes.
00:35Really, Leah's ashes?
00:37Or just some random stuff?
00:39The staff bristled.
00:39Sir, we have records.
00:41This is Lydia Vale's ashes.
00:43If you don't believe that, go check it out.
00:46Logan chuckled.
00:48No need, not necessary.
00:50My body was dead, but my spirit still here.
00:52I felt a small relief.
00:54Now that Logan got my ashes, even if he hated me, he'd probably bury me out of respect.
00:58But I didn't get to feel happy.
01:00He raised his foot and ground it hard into my ashes.
01:04Tell Lydia, tricks won't work on me.
01:08He looked at the shocked staff, a grin on his face.
01:11My father's death anniversary is coming.
01:14She better pay her respects at my father's grave, or I'll turn her fake death into the real thing.
01:19He could really do it.
01:20I suddenly felt lucky I was already dead.
01:22If I were still alive?
01:23In his hands, I'd be doomed to die even worse.
01:26Before the staff could say anything, Logan got a call.
01:29He had to leave.
01:31Strangely, my spirit followed him.
01:33I ended up in the passenger seat, stuck listening to him talk.
01:36I heard she died.
01:37The voice was familiar.
01:39Camille, Logan's adopted sister.
01:41Back when I dated Logan, she tried more than once to get me to leave him.
01:44I refused.
01:45Then she started causing trouble, spreading rumors at my company, sending thugs to block me.
01:49Logan had a serious talk with her once.
01:51I don't know what he said.
01:52But after that, Camille stayed in line.
01:54Now, hearing her mention me, Logan's expression turned colder.
01:57Don't bring her up again.
01:59She's not dead.
02:00No way.
02:01She's just hiding.
02:02Afraid I'll drag her back to face my father.
02:05But what if she really died, Logan?
02:08What would you do?
02:10My heart skipped.
02:11I instinctively looked at him.
02:12Back then, the old Logan would have crumbled if I just scraped my hand.
02:16He said I was the only one he'd ever laugh.
02:17But now, he laughed coldly.
02:19Then I'd throw a party for all of Los Angeles.
02:23Three days, three nights.
02:25I froze in shock.
02:26Only now did I realize, Logan hated me this much.
02:30So much that my death was something worth celebrating to him.
02:32But Logan, I really am dead.
02:34You just refuse to believe it.
02:35The car stopped in front of a bridal shop.
02:37Logan rushed inside, almost impatient.
02:39I followed him.
02:40And suddenly, I remembered.
02:41The last time he brought me here.
02:42The way he looked at me.
02:43Full of love.
02:44So gentle.
02:45So careful.
02:45He promised me I would be the happiest bride in the world.
02:48But now, he stood there smiling.
02:50Wearing a suit.
02:50Next to Camille in a white wedding dress.
02:52They looked perfect together.
02:53Beautiful.
02:55Logan.
02:57I've been waiting for this day.
02:58I stared, frozen in disbelief, as Camille leaned in and kissed him.
03:03No.
03:04I rushed forward, trying to stop them.
03:06But my hand passed right through his body.
03:09I could only stand there, helpless, watching Logan slide a ring onto Camille's finger.
03:13How could this happen?
03:14Why Camille?
03:15She's the one who killed your father.
03:17Logan.
03:19By the way, Logan.
03:21Is she okay?
03:22We all knew who she meant.
03:23Logan's face stayed cold, even a little annoyed.
03:25What could happen?
03:27Just a little trick.
03:32And should we invite her to our wedding?
03:34Logan lowered his eyes, hiding what he really felt.
03:37Then a cruel smile appeared on his lips.
03:39Of course we invite her.
03:43She's an important guest.
03:45I froze.
03:46I realized Logan wanted me to see his wedding with my own eyes.
03:49After all, this was the scene I'd been longing for.
03:53Back then, his father never gave his blessing.
03:55We never had the chance to have a proper wedding.
03:57But before that wish could ever come true, his father died.
04:01A heart attack.
04:02No cure.
04:02Just gone.
04:03The last call he made was to me.
04:05That night, Logan blamed me.
04:06Completely.
04:07On the day his father was buried, he forced me to kneel at the grave.
04:10Through rain.
04:10For a whole day and night.
04:12His eyes full of grief.
04:13Full of hate.
04:14Lydia.
04:15From now on, you and I won't stop.
04:20Until one of us dies.
04:22From that day, I was no longer Logan's lover.
04:24I became his enemy.
04:26He hated me.
04:26He tormented me.
04:28And yet, he wouldn't let me leave.
04:30Every day, he brought a new woman home.
04:32Seeing my tear-stained eyes, he smiled cruelly.
04:35Can't take it, Lydia.
04:37This is all your fault.
04:38Who else can you blame but yourself?
04:41I tried to explain, but he wouldn't listen.
04:43He knew his father never liked me.
04:45He thought his father's heart attack was my fault.
04:47But Logan forgot how deeply he had loved.
04:50He had risked everything, even defying the Pierce family.
04:53How could I betray him?
04:55How could I hurt his father?
04:57After sending Camille away, he seemed to remember me.
05:01He generously took me off his blacklist.
05:03One hand on the wheel, the other dialing my number.
05:06I watched his face soften, then twist in anger.
05:10He pounded the steering wheel, shouting,
05:13Lydia, dare not pick up my call, and you're dead!
05:17If only he knew.
05:18It wasn't that I refused.
05:19I just couldn't answer it anymore.
05:22Two weeks later, Logan finally came back home.
05:25He slammed through door after door.
05:27There was nowhere to be found.
05:28His face, already dark, turned even blacker.
05:31Lydia, come out right now!
05:34He barked orders to his men, searching for me, muttering under his breath.
05:38Find her.
05:39Yes, sir.
05:43Lydia, if you're running, run far.
05:45Because when I find you, I'll break your legs.
05:50Soon, his men sent him a location.
05:52Logan's expression twisted into something terrifying.
05:56I looked closer, and realized it was Lucas' house.
06:00Don-
06:01Miss Lydia's last call was to Lucas' heart,
06:03but Mr. Har says he hasn't seen her.
06:05We suspect he might have kidnapped her.
06:07Logan sneered, cold as ice.
06:09Kidnapped?
06:10Stop kidding.
06:11She must choose to go there herself.
06:13Logan stormed up to Lucas' house,
06:15slamming his foot against the locked door,
06:17but his face was dark with anger.
06:18Then he saw Lucas, calm as ever.
06:20Where's my wife?
06:21Where are you hiding her?
06:22Lucas' expression empty, like he'd given up on the world.
06:25I'm not hiding her.
06:26She's dead.
06:28Didn't the crematorium notify you to pick up her ashes?
06:30She even got you to help with the act?
06:32Huh.
06:33Looks like Lydia's really determined to avoid me this time.
06:36But am I really that easy to fool?
06:38Lydia!
06:39Hiding won't get you anywhere!
06:42I'll count to three.
06:43If you don't come out, don't blame me for being ruthless.
06:46Three.
06:47Two.
06:49One.
06:50Logan shoved Lucas to the ground.
06:52Search the house!
06:54Find her!
06:55He shouted at his men.
06:58Lucas' calm face now flashed with anger.
07:02Logan, Lydia is already dead.
07:06You even claimed her ashes yourself.
07:09Have you forgotten?
07:11She's dead!
07:13Dead for days!
07:15Lucas grabbed Logan by the collar.
07:17He slammed him against the wall in fury.
07:19Shut up.
07:19And at a time like this, you still play games with her?
07:25Lucas, you really love her, don't you?
07:28But let me remind you.
07:29She loves me.
07:31She belongs to me.
07:33Maybe one day, if I get tired, I'll think about letting you have her.
07:37But for now, she has to go to my father's grave and pay her dues.
07:46She won't be with you.
07:49Logan, you're such a bastard.
07:53Lucas' face flushed with rage.
07:56He slapped Logan across the face.
07:57In an instant, they were...
08:00Rolled, punched, and moved by pain in the air.
08:03I panicked, pacing frantically.
08:06But I was powerless to stop them.
08:09Lucas.
08:10Look at you.
08:11Almost getting killed over Lydia.
08:13And her?
08:15Watching calmly.
08:16Logan's eyes...
08:17A heartless woman like that.
08:18Worth your love?
08:20Logan.
08:21The pitiful one is you.
08:24You forgive the man who killed your father?
08:26You hurt the one you love?
08:28You live worse than a stray cat or dog?
08:30What did you just say?
08:32Don!
08:33We found traffic cam footage of Miss Lydia's accident.
08:36And her autopsy report.
08:38We confirmed that she was dead.
08:42What?
08:44Logan froze for a long moment.
08:46Then he sprang up, shoving his eyes aside.
08:47No!
08:47No!
08:48No!
08:50This can't be.
08:52I have to find her.
08:54Bring her home.
08:55Panic and grief, twisting his face.
08:56No.
08:59No.
08:59She's at home.
09:00She has to be.
09:02She's doing fade.
09:03She's doing this on purpose.
09:05Just to make me come back, right?
09:07He grabbed one of his men by the collar, eyes wild.
09:09Oh!
09:12But the next second, he pushed open the wrong door.
09:16Logan froze.
09:17The desk was covered with photos of me.
09:19Every photo showed my face trenched in blood.
09:22Some were so mangled I was barely recognizable.
09:25I glanced once, then quickly looked away.
09:28I knew how horrific my death had been.
09:31One eyeball dislodged.
09:33A dent in my left temple.
09:36The coroner struggled to confirm my identity back then.
09:39And now...
09:41Lucas laid the photos out openly.
09:43Logan trembled, clutching the photos in his hands.
09:46There it was.
09:47The footage of my car crash.
09:48Two vehicles collided head-on.
09:50My car launched into the air almost instantly.
09:52The scene was horrifying.
09:54Logan's eyes reddened immediately.
09:56His hand shook as he gripped the mouse.
09:57He replayed the video again.
09:59And again.
10:04This...
10:04This can't be.
10:06How could Lydia possibly...
10:09All the evidence is right in front of you.
10:11And you still won't believe it?
10:13Lucas wiped blood from his lips.
10:14His face was dark as he stared at Logan.
10:16Logan, how long are you going to keep fooling yourself?
10:18Logan's voice was hoarse.
10:20How...
10:21How would you know she got in a car accident?
10:24Lucas asked.
10:25You didn't know?
10:25Her last call...
10:27It was to me.
10:28She barely had strength to speak.
10:30But she used her last bit of energy to tell me a secret.
10:33Logan's eyes were bloodshed.
10:34What secret?
10:35She said...
10:36The one who killed your father.
10:38It was Camille.
10:40That's impossible.
10:42It can't be Camille.
10:44She's my sister.
10:45My father loved her so much.
10:48Lucas.
10:49You're lying to me.
10:51Is this some trick you and Lydia cooked up?
10:54Trying to help her escape me?
10:55Don't even think about it, Lucas.
10:57Tell Lydia.
10:58She may be dead, but in this life, she dies by my side.
11:03I lowered my lashes, swallowing the ache in my chest.
11:06It didn't matter.
11:07I was already dead.
11:08Whether Logan believed the truth or not, irrelevant.
11:12He could never hurt me again.
11:14I was forced to leave Lucas' house with Logan.
11:16As I walked away, a sharp gaze cut through me.
11:19I turned and met Lucas' eyes.
11:21His eyes reddened, lips trembling.
11:24Lydia.
11:25I froze for a few seconds.
11:27My eyes stung with heat.
11:28That silent, trembling Lydia.
11:30I finally knew Lucas could see me.
11:33My nose ached with emotion.
11:34Lydia.
11:35Lucas was my best friend.
11:36We'd grown up together.
11:38Inseparable.
11:39In college, I met Logan.
11:40From that moment, I fell hopelessly in love.
11:43Logan.
11:43Dangerous.
11:44Irresistible.
11:45Lucas tried to warn me countless times, but it was useless.
11:48He eventually went abroad to study.
11:50We slowly drifted apart, until Logan's father had an accident.
11:53Lucas returned, determined to take me away, but I refused.
11:56I couldn't let go of Logan.
11:57Not long after, I discovered Camille's secret, and she ended me, mercilessly.
12:01Looking back now, all that remains is regret.
12:04If it weren't for Logan, the man I would have married would have been him.
12:08The phone rang.
12:09It snapped me back, Logan's face twisted with pain and strain.
12:13Caller ID.
12:14Camille.
12:15His heart skipped a beat.
12:18Logan, tomorrow's dad's memorial.
12:20Do you think Lydia will come?
12:23His face went dark.
12:24Silence filled the car.
12:25Then, low and rough.
12:26She's already dead.
12:29The line went dead, and I watched.
12:31Logan, strong, fierce.
12:33He cried.
12:34Buried his face in the wheel, growling like a beast.
12:36Tears rolled, shaking, uncontrolled.
12:37I sighed.
12:38If only this had been avoided.
12:39If only back then.
12:40Logan, your regret is too late.
12:42Too late for me to say.
12:43He said his job.
12:43Go straight to the crematorium, even at night, even as a ghost.
12:48Fear crept in, but Logan, untouchable, unstoppable.
12:52Where's Lydia's ashes?
12:54Give them to me, now.
12:55The staff froze.
12:56They knew him.
12:58The man who had thrown my ashes.
13:01Sorry, Mr. Pierce.
13:03The ashes are already spattered.
13:05There's no bringing them back.
13:07Yes, he didn't just spill them.
13:09He stomped, kicked, trampled them flat, and now, he's asking someone else for them.
13:14The air went cold.
13:16Logan grabbed the staff by the collar.
13:17Don't lie to me.
13:19When I left, they were still on the floor.
13:21You must have held them back.
13:22You have three minutes.
13:24Give me Lydia's ashes.
13:25The staff slumped against the wall.
13:27Sir, we really don't have them.
13:30The ashes we gave you, every last bit, you spilled them yourself.
13:34Twist this, and we'll call the cops.
13:36Logan froze, stunned, finally facing the truth.
13:39My ashes were gone, scattered by him.
13:41He staggered out of the crematorium, unsteady and broken.
13:44The night was thick, heavy, almost alive.
13:47His face lost in shadows.
13:49From the crematorium to the car, he stayed silent.
13:51The cabin was still.
13:52I knew he couldn't see me.
13:53Yet my heart pounded like a drum.
13:55The engine died.
13:56Logan leaned back, black eyes fixed, on the dark, endless window.
14:00Until the sky began to pale, a hint of gray creeping in.
14:03Red veins etched around them.
14:04I reached out to touch his face, but at the last second, my fingertips burned like fire,
14:09pain shooting through me.
14:10I pulled back, trembling, and suddenly, I laughed.
14:13Logan, you cursed me to hell after my death.
14:16Looks like it's finally starting to come true.
14:19This year, at his father's grave, only Logan and Camilla remained.
14:24Every time I saw her, my soul would shake.
14:26My body would quake.
14:28She's the one who killed his father.
14:29Yet Logan stood there, calm and gentle, fixing her collar like she was something precious.
14:35Camilla knelt down, face full of sorrow, soft and low.
14:40Dad, Logan and I came to see you.
14:44Oh, and Lydia is dead now.
14:47You can finally rest in peace.
14:49Logan bent down, wiping the dust off the stone.
14:52I have good news.
14:53Face quiet.
14:53I'm marrying Camilla.
14:55Almost cold.
14:56You watched her grow up.
14:57You'll be happy for us, right?
15:01About Lydia.
15:03Dad, I was wrong.
15:05Thunder rolled across the sky, loud and deep.
15:08But that one sentence hit harder than anything.
15:10I was wrong.
15:11It echoed in my head, louder than thunder, sharper than pain.
15:14I watched him open the car door for Camilla, gentle, careful, like she was his whole world.
15:19They looked like a perfect pair, a love so rare, a flawless affair.
15:23And me, I was just the storm they had to survive.
15:26The pain in their story.
15:27The price they paid to be alive.
15:29In the days that followed, Logan threw himself into his wedding with Camilla.
15:33The dress, the rings, the invitations.
15:36Everything I had dreamed of, Logan gave to Camilla without missing a beat.
15:40He ignored everything else.
15:42Work, company, nothing mattered.
15:44All he could think about was their wedding.
15:46The good news, it seemed, I could finally leave Logan behind.
15:51I froze, then slowly turned around.
15:54Lydia.
15:54The night was dark, but there was Lucas, standing under the streetlight.
15:58His eyes were red as he saw me.
16:00Lydia.
16:02It's really you.
16:04I almost forgot.
16:05Lucas could see me.
16:06He stood there carefully, afraid it was just a trick in his eyes.
16:09When he saw me smile and reach out, he couldn't hold back.
16:12He rushed forward, trying to pull me into his arms, only to touch nothing but air.
16:17Lydia.
16:18Why?
16:19Why can't I feel you?
16:22Lydia.
16:22I smiled, silent, and Lucas understood.
16:28Right, you're already dead.
16:30So I went with him back to his house.
16:31On his desk lay a stack of files.
16:33Proof about me and father's death.
16:35I realized, ever since I died, Lucas had been investigating the crash.
16:38The mastermind behind it was Camilla.
16:40And the news that Camilla was marrying Logan was everywhere.
16:43If I had known Logan was such a bastard, I should have taken you away back then.
16:49Then, let me give them a special gift at their wedding.
16:53On Logan's wedding day, every big name in Los Angeles was there.
16:56Lucas didn't have an invitation.
16:58So of course, he was stopped at the door.
17:01Logan stood in a perfectly fitted suit.
17:03He glanced at Lucas, face cold and unreadable.
17:06Let him in.
17:06Lucas gave a faint, mocking smile.
17:08Didn't say a word.
17:10And quietly took a seat in the corner.
17:11On the giant screen, their wedding photos played on repeat.
17:15Handsome groom, beautiful bride, a perfect match.
17:18What's there to watch?
17:20Trash like that isn't worth your eyes, Lydia.
17:22I nodded and looked away.
17:24Soon, the ceremony began.
17:26Logan stood on the stage, staring at the entrance without gloomy.
17:29That's where his bride would walk in.
17:31This is the moment I had imagined.
17:33And now, it was finally happening.
17:35Just, I wasn't the one standing beside him.
17:37This is the moment I had imagined.
17:40Countless times.
17:42And now, it was finally happening.
17:45Just, I wasn't the one standing beside him.
17:48Camilla walked down the aisle.
17:49Every eye in the room glued to her.
17:51The officiant's voice echoed, reciting the vows.
17:54I watched the man I once dreamed of marrying.
17:57And now, his eyes were full of someone else.
17:59My chest tightened.
18:00Tears burned in my eyes.
18:02I wanted to run away.
18:04Lydia.
18:04Lydia.
