Short filmTranscript
00:00I've always had a strong sex drive, for 3 years Ethan Hayes never once satisfied me, but tonight, the Las
00:06Vegas Flower Gala, a dozen billionaire heiresses lined up on stage, one by one their bust sizes were measured, waiting
00:14to be chosen, an orchid meant an arranged marriage, no orchid meant your family would sell you off to the
00:20highest bidder, I am Chloe, I was born curvy, but I was the casino king's illegitimate daughter, so no one
00:27would ever choose me,
00:28Toe Knight, the only man who could save me was the one I'd loved for 10 years, he was standing
00:34right there, Ethan smiled at the girl beside him, then he placed the orchid in her hands, that was supposed
00:40to be mine, he knew it, everyone knew it, you deserve this Lily, you have class, class one word and
00:48I became the punchline of the entire room, yesterday he promised me, 3 years, just give me 3 years and
00:55I'll handle everything, no one's going to force you into marriage,
00:57Today he handed my future to a girl he met 6 months ago, Lily walked over to me, she looked
01:03nervous, Chloe I'm so sorry, I told him not to, I really did, then she touched the orchid on her
01:10wrist, straightened it slowly, making sure I saw it, her eyes never changed, that is the thing about Lily, her
01:17mouth says sorry, her hand said he's mine now, Ethan walked over with a drink in his hand, casual, relaxed,
01:24like nothing happened,
01:25Don't be dramatic, Chloe
01:26He grabbed a rose from a passing tray and held it out, the thorns were still on, the stem was
01:32broken halfway, here, you look better in red anyway, a broken rose, for the broken girl, got it, why are
01:38you making such a fuss over one orchid?
01:41The laughter around me grew louder, she's the bastard daughter, what did she expect?
01:46Before I could respond, a voice cut through the crowd, Vivian, graceful as always, untouchable as ever, she walked toward
01:53me with a champagne glass in her hand, smiling, the kind of smile that made everyone think she was a
01:58loving mother,
01:59Chloe, darling, we raised you for 18 years, fed you, clothed you, put a roof over your head, and this
02:06is how you repay us? Making a scene at the gala?
02:09She glanced at the rose in my hand, then at the orchid on Lily's wrist, some girls are orchids, some
02:15girls aren't, know your place.
02:20Three hundred people watching, not one of them on my side, then my third sister stepped forward, like she'd been
02:26waiting for this.
02:27If I were you I wouldn't have shown up tonight, how embarrassing.
02:30She circled me slowly, then she reached out and touched the necklace around my neck.
02:35This belongs to the Carter family.
02:37She unclasped it, I didn't move.
02:39The earrings too.
02:40One then the other, dropped onto a silver tray a waiter was forced to hold.
02:44The bracelet?
02:45Gone, the room was so quiet I could hear the jewelry hitting the tray.
02:50My sister looked me up and down, then smiled.
02:53Take off the dress too, mom 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, she sipped her champagne, and nodded, so I reached behind my back and unzipped the dress
03:05myself.
03:07The fabric slid off my shoulders, then pulled at my feet.
03:11What the heck?
03:11Three hundred people, camera flashes, whispers.
03:14I stood there in nothing but a silk slip.
03:17My whole body is just exposed like this, from head to toe for everyone to see.
03:22My sister finally stopped smiling.
03:24She didn't expect me to actually do it.
03:27Vivian's glass paused halfway to her lips.
03:29Even she didn't expect that.
03:31I picked up the dress, folded it neatly, and placed it on the tray, on 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, and walked through three hundred people barefoot, in a silk slip.
03:55With nothing to my name, my sister's voice echoed behind me.
04:00Oh right, one more thing.
04:02That man in DC?
04:03I heard he already has someone who truly loves.
04:05Good luck.
04:07My mother died young.
04:09I was taken back to the Carter family when I was still a child.
04:12The way Vivian looked at me, it was as if she wanted me dead.
04:15My father had too many women to even count.
04:18Of course, he never cared whether a daughter like me lived or died.
04:21I learned to read people from a very young age.
04:24How 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, and I went to my uncle.
04:32I begged him to train me, to bet on me, that man never smiled.
04:36So I held myself together, even 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 twenty 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, and Uncle Henry won't help me.
04:54As for that man in DC I heard he's cruel.
04:56Cross him once, and he'll make you pay for it ten 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.
05:06Of course they did.
05:07Uncle Henry had probably already heard how tonight ended.
05:10He sent me one text.
05:12You lost.
05:13Figure it out yourself.
05:14I shivered and wrapped my arms around myself.
05:16I left the banquet and got into the car Uncle Henry sent.
05:20He 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.
05:28What happens next depends on your own fate.
05:30I'll come back.
05:31We'll see.
05:32The corner of his mouth lifted cold, faint, merciless.
05:35Just like that he kicked me out of the game.
05:38On social media Lily 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 was still wearing the cufflinks I gave him.
05:50The next morning before sunrise, I left.
05:53No goodbye.
05:54No looking back.
05:55Just a backpack and a one-way trip to the airport.
05:58Security.
05:59Boarding everything went smoothly.
06:01As the plane began to taxi, I 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, we are incredibly sorry we have been ordered to return to the gate.
06:14Mr. Hayes has bought out every flight today to locate one person.
06:23I watched the view outside the window.
06:25It suddenly slowed down.
06:27Just a second ago, everything had still been rushing past.
06:30My mind went blank.
06:32The second the plane stopped, my phone got signal again.
06:35Calls came flooding in.
06:36Messages too.
06:37Then a payment alert popped up.
06:39We sincerely apologize for disturbing your trip.
06:41As compensation, the Hayes family will reimburse today's tickets at 10 times the original price.
06:46The cabin went dead silent.
06:48Not one person said a word.
06:50Then a few girls behind me started whispering.
06:53Who's the Hayes family looking for?
06:55They're really making this big of a scene?
06:56This is straight out of a drama.
06:58I looked at my phone.
07:00My chest tightened.
07:01Early that morning, Ethan had gone to the Carter house to find me.
07:04When he saw I was gone, he walked straight into my room.
07:07The dress from last night was still there.
07:09So was the jewelry.
07:11Everything was untouched.
07:12Except the backpack I used all the time.
07:14That was when he lost it.
07:16He dragged the whole family out of bed.
07:18He 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.
07:25He called me right away.
07:26But by then, I was already on the plane.
07:29When he realized I hadn't kept a thing from him, he snapped.
07:32He grounded every flight and forced them back.
07:34I got off the plane with my backpack.
07:37Then I stood in the airport completely torn.
07:39Should I go back or keep going?
07:41It was still early and I was starving.
07:43So I decided to grab a bite of steak first.
07:45I could think after I ate.
07:47Right then, a 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.
07:55Ethan might have spoiled me.
07:56But there was no way he'd throw away his pride for me.
07:59If I went back now, all I'd get would be cold stares.
08:02If I kept going, maybe I still had a chance.
08:05I was halfway through my steak when a group of men in black stormed in.
08:08Any woman who looked even a little pretty got stopped and questioned.
08:11A second later, Ethan rushed in too.
08:14He walked right past me.
08:15He was drenched in sweat.
08:17His phone was clenched in his hand.
08:19He looked shaken, almost helpless.
08:21He kept calling my number, over and over.
08:24My phone would not stop vibrating.
08:25When no one picked up, he got so mad he almost smashed it.
08:29The men in black searched everywhere.
08:31They came back with nothing.
08:32Where is she?
08:33Keep every route blocked.
08:35Do not let a single plane fly to DC.
08:37It was the first time I had ever seen Ethan that rattled, that out of control.
08:41I checked the flights.
08:43The plane to NYC had already changed destinations.
08:46I sat there waiting to board, scrolling through the news.
08:49Las Vegas tabloids were always insane and ridiculous.
08:53The top headline was all about the Hayes family's golden boy.
08:56In giant red letters, it read,
08:58Ethan Hayes was seen with a new beauty last night.
09:01So why is he buying out an entire flight route today?
09:04This kind of love is unreal.
09:05If a guy came after me like that, I'd say yes on the spot.
09:09What do you know?
09:11At the flower gala last night, Mr. Hayes picked some sponsored girl.
09:16I bet she conned him.
09:17What?
09:18He passed on all those rich girls?
09:20And now he regrets it?
09:22I pressed my lips together.
09:23I said nothing.
09:24I just took a sip of coffee.
09:26I'm telling you, Mr. Hayes probably didn't even know giving her that flower meant a confession.
09:30Wow.
09:31You even know that?
09:33That's nothing.
09:34I got invited to last night's gala, too.
09:36I froze.
09:37For a second, I thought maybe I knew her.
09:39I glanced back and didn't recognize her.
09:41So lucky.
09:42It's not a big deal.
09:44My family knows people in Las Vegas' upper circle.
09:47So what did that girl look like?
09:49Really pretty.
09:51Or like, like, seriously gorgeous.
09:53No one can figure out why Mr. Hayes gave the flower to some outsider.
09:57But honestly, same 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.
10:09I let out an awkward little cough.
10:11Both girls turned around.
10:12She still didn't notice anything.
10:14If anything, she got louder.
10:15Maybe Ethan will wise up and pick me.
10:18I'm the princess of my family.
10:20I had zero interest in eavesdropping any longer.
10:23So I got up and paid my bill as I passed.
10:26The loudest girl saw my face.
10:28Her whole expression froze.
10:30What?
10:31You know her?
10:32The other girl looked up at me.
10:34She's gorgeous.
10:36You're...
10:36She glanced past me at the men still searching all over the airport.
10:40Then she started stammering.
10:43Wait.
10:44Ethan's looking for you.
10:45I put a finger to my lips.
10:47Both girls slapped their hands over their mouths.
10:50Their eyes went huge.
10:51I had already walked a good distance away when 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, another refund alert hit my phone.
11:03I almost laughed.
11:04The Hayes family had reached everywhere.
11:06They had actually bought out flights to other cities too.
11:09I gripped my phone.
11:10I really didn't know whether to go forward or turn back.
11:13While I was still hesitating, a call came in.
11:16A DC number.
11:18Hello?
11:18Who's this?
11:19Ryan Shaw.
11:20The man I was supposed to marry.
11:22His voice was cool.
11:23Low, clean.
11:24Way too easy to like.
11:26I'm sorry.
11:26My plane is on the tarmac.
11:28Walk outside.
11:29They'll bring you to me.
11:30I was just about to explain Ethan had shut down the flight routes when I saw it.
11:35A private jet was parked out on the tarmac.
11:37A few older men in black got off and stood there waiting.
11:41Straight backed respectful.
11:43Okay.
11:44I hung up quietly and headed straight for the plane.
11:46The second I stepped outside, an umbrella opened over my head.
11:50Mrs. Shaw, we're here to take you home.
11:52Right then, Ethan finally saw me.
11:58He strode over fast and grabbed my wrist.
12:01Chloe, you're coming with me.
12:04Several bodyguards moved in at once.
12:06They closed around me.
12:07At the same time, Ryan's people stepped in front of me too.
12:11Both sides squared off.
12:12The people nearby instantly pulled out their phones.
12:15Nobody wanted to miss this.
12:17The man leading Ryan's side looked like a family butler.
12:20Sharp suit, perfect posture.
12:22Old school money from head to toe.
12:24He was smiling, but there wasn't one ounce of warmth in it.
12:28Mr. Hayes, I'm here to bring Mrs. Shaw back.
12:32Please let go.
12:33We're still in Las Vegas.
12:35I'd like to see who thinks they can take her.
12:37Then he looked straight at me through the crowd around us.
12:39Your family was forcing you into this marriage.
12:42Why didn't you tell me?
12:43I almost laughed from frustration.
12:47Ethan, you protected me for years.
12:50I'm grateful for that.
12:51Things ended up here.
12:53I don't blame anyone.
12:55What the hell does that mean?
12:56You don't blame anyone?
12:58If you don't blame me, then come back with me.
13:00I'll talk to your family.
13:02I'll marry you.
13:03I looked up at him.
13:04Rain started coming down.
13:06His hair was a mess.
13:07His eyes were red from panic.
13:09Ryan's butler stayed planted in front of me.
13:12Calm.
13:12Professional.
13:13Sorry.
13:13The time we agreed on with the Carter family has arrived.
13:17Mrs. Shaw can only come with us today.
13:19Ethan didn't even look at him.
13:21He only stared at me.
13:22I shook my head.
13:23Ethan, I told you before.
13:25I only wanted that three-year promise from you.
13:28I already have someone I like.
13:30I was never planning to marry you.
13:31Again?
13:32You've been stuck inside that house your whole life.
13:34Who could you possibly like?
13:35I know you hate it when I call you my shadow, but stop being stubborn.
13:38Come back with me.
13:39Let's talk when we get back, okay?
13:40Without realizing it, he was pleading now, and I was grateful.
13:44I really was.
13:45But the second he let go of my hand and gave that flower to his sponsored girl, we were
13:49done.
13:50We were never meant to walk the same path again.
13:52Ethan, your future wife is Lily.
13:54The whole city knows that now.
13:56You two should be happy together.
13:58Who the hell would marry some sponsored girl?
14:00Are you kidding me?
14:01I'd marry you before I'd ever marry her.
14:03My eyes dimmed.
14:04That was the problem with Ethan.
14:06He liked me enough, but never respected me enough.
14:09And in that moment, every bit of hesitation finally left me.
14:12I followed the butler and strode toward the plane.
14:15Ethan stayed where he was.
14:17His eyes looked ready to spit fire.
14:19Chloe!
14:20Think this through!
14:22Once you go to DC, nobody's gonna protect you anymore!
14:25So you're really not marrying me?
14:26If you walk away now, don't regret it!
14:28The butler had already set out fresh clothes.
14:31He pointed to the washroom and back.
14:33His voice was low.
14:34You should rent off.
14:35Staying soaked like that gets you sick fast.
14:37The jet was ridiculously fancy.
14:39No way, it was rented.
14:41It had to be the Shaw family's private jet figures.
14:44Typical DC old money.
14:46Even the Carters don't own a private jet.
14:48My dad only chartered one once in a while.
14:51And this thing had everything.
14:53A bathroom.
14:54A full bed.
14:55What threw me off was the bed itself.
14:57Soft pink bedding.
14:59Not exactly Ryan Shaw's vibe.
15:01In the bathroom, I changed into the clothes they'd prepared.
15:04Then I froze again.
15:05They were my exact size.
15:06When I came back out, the butler had already sent the bodyguards to the rear cabin.
15:11I looked at him.
15:12Does Mr. Shaw usually fly on this?
15:14He caught my confusion right away.
15:16He bought this jet for you.
15:18Everything was designed around your taste.
15:21Even the bedding.
15:22He picked it himself.
15:24Made from the softest, most comfortable material.
15:27I was stunned.
15:29Something this expensive.
15:30And he just gave it away to someone unrelated to him.
15:33Wasn't he supposed to have a girl he loved?
15:36It's still a long flight.
15:38You can rest a bit.
15:39The butler kept going.
15:40DC is dry.
15:42We prepared a humidifier for you.
15:44No one had ever cared how I felt.
15:46I was always the one watching everybody else.
15:48That sudden kindness threw me off.
15:50I couldn't even sit still.
15:52Thankfully the butler saw I was tense.
15:54He quietly stepped away.
15:56I took out a pen and started drawing.
15:58But my mind was all over the place.
15:59All I felt was dread.
16:01The plane touched down on a huge stretch of green.
16:04Anse looked closer.
16:05I realized it wasn't a runway.
16:07It was the Shaw estate.
16:08I grew up rich in Las Vegas.
16:10But even I had never seen anything this insane.
16:13Ryan came to meet me himself.
16:15He wore a soft smile.
16:17Nothing like the rumors.
16:19Not cold.
16:20Not cruel.
16:21He draped a coat over my shoulders.
16:23His voice was warm.
16:24Are you cold?
16:25Then I stepped aside a little.
16:27Mr. Shaw, I know you love someone else.
16:30I know you were forced to marry me.
16:32Don't worry.
16:33Just give me three years.
16:35I won't keep you away from her for long.
16:37After that, we split.
16:38Someone I love?
16:40Three years?
16:42Yeah.
16:43Three years.
16:45I'll do the wife thing.
16:46That's it.
16:47I won't interfere.
16:49When the time's up, I leave.
16:51Clean break.
16:52His brow tightened.
16:53He looked at the butler.
16:54That look was pure interrogation.
16:56When no one answered.
16:58Who told you we'd keep score like that?
17:00Mrs. Shaw?
17:05He hooked a finger under my chin.
17:08Then leaned in closer.
17:10What's mine is yours, Mrs. Shaw.
17:12Even after we walked inside, I still hadn't snapped out of it.
17:16Wasn't he supposed to be icy?
17:17Wasn't he supposed to be ruthless?
17:19Ryan Shaw's house was all sharp lines.
17:22Simple furniture.
17:23Cold tones.
17:24Clean.
17:25Precise.
17:26But there was color too.
17:27Pillows.
17:28Rugs.
17:29Flowers.
17:29New additions.
17:30Still, nothing looked wrong.
17:32Everything fit.
17:33The taste was flawless.
17:35The whole place felt warmer than it should.
17:37I sat on the sofa.
17:39Then handed him a sheet of paper.
17:41My proposal.
17:43Take a look.
17:45I need to borrow money.
17:47I'll pay it back in installments.
17:49I felt my face heat up.
17:51I was the gambling king's daughter.
17:53Yet I came here with one backpack.
17:55No jewelry.
17:56No dowry.
17:57No valuables.
17:58Nothing.
17:59In the Shaw family's eyes that was almost insulting.
18:02Before I landed, I had already looked into them.
18:05The Shaw family stood at the top untouchable.
18:08Unshaken.
18:09They needed nothing.
18:10Not money.
18:11Not marriage alliances.
18:13And Yon begging them for help could line up across Las Vegas.
18:16So I still couldn't understand it.
18:18Why would the Shaw family choose the Carter family?
18:21I pressed my lips together.
18:22I have no money.
18:24But don't worry.
18:26I'll pay you back.
18:27He took my cold hand and said.
18:29His palm was warm.
18:30He rubbed my fingers slowly.
18:32My face burned again.
18:34He looked pleased.
18:35Very pleased.
18:36What do you need it for?
18:37I looked up.
18:38Then it hit me.
18:39Maybe as Ryan Shaw's wife.
18:41I wasn't meant to have any financial power at all.
18:43Maybe I was supposed to just spend what they gave me.
18:46Maybe that was the rule.
18:48Mr. Shaw, I don't want to stay under the Carter family's control.
18:52I won't be a useless trophy wife.
18:54I won't live on handouts.
18:56I want my own career.
18:58And if I can, I want the part of the Carter family that belongs to me.
19:02Ryan paused.
19:03That answer surprised him.
19:04I had been too direct.
19:06He reached out, rubbed my hair, then said softly.
19:09Everything I have is yours.
19:11My card.
19:12Spend whatever you want.
19:13I just couldn't tell what the distance in his eyes meant.
19:16Ryan gave me a beautiful suite in the estate.
19:19Bright, sunny, beautiful like a princess room.
19:22I stood there, stunned, in the Carter family.
19:24I had never had anything like this.
19:26I was just the illegitimate daughter.
19:28That night, I finally slept well.
19:30The next morning, Uncle Henry came first.
19:32In the Carter family, Uncle Henry was the only one who had ever protected me.
19:36But his kindness always had a price.
19:38Always.
19:39Ethan is tearing the city apart.
19:41Why didn't you come back?
19:42I'm a person, not a pet that comes whenever you call.
19:45Oh?
19:46I thought you already accepted your role.
19:47A tool for revenge.
19:48For three years, I did everything a Mrs. Shaw should do.
19:52I attended banquets with Ryan.
19:54Stood by his side.
19:55Smiled when needed.
19:57Spoke when needed.
19:58In that world, everyone knew me.
20:00They praised me.
20:01Flattered me.
20:02Tried to win me over.
20:03To them, I was a lucky girl.
20:05Beautiful.
20:06Quiet.
20:07Harmless.
20:07Ryan spoiled me.
20:09Everyone saw it.
20:10Three years passed.
20:11I borrowed only one million from the Shaw family.
20:14To outsiders, I am that lucky, quiet, harmless Voss.
20:18But I have never forgotten my true purpose for being here.
20:21But I never forgot why I was here.
20:23That one million opened the door to Las Vegas High Society.
20:27I used their connections.
20:28Their networks.
20:30Their greed.
20:31Then I aimed it all at the Carter family.
20:33I crushed their influence.
20:35Stole their talent.
20:36Cut their ground out from under them.
20:38Little by little, my father saw the truth.
20:41All his children were useless.
20:43Every one of them.
20:44The other branches panicked.
20:46They were scared.
20:47Scared of losing money.
20:48Scared of losing status.
20:50So they sold their shares.
20:51And I bought them secretly.
20:53One by one, step by step, I became a shareholder.
20:56Then I tightened the noose.
20:57I stirred up trouble, raised the pressure, forced them back.
21:00My original capital multiplied again and again.
21:03And just when my father thought he had won the most,
21:06I took the seat of the largest shareholder in the Carter family.
21:09By then, the Carter airs were already finished.
21:12Every single one.
