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
00:21highest bidder, I am Chloe, I was born curvy, but I was the casino king's illegitimate daughter, so no one
00:28would ever choose me,
00:29Toe Knight, the only man who could save me was the one I'd loved for 10 years, he was standing
00:35right there, Ethan smiled at the girl beside him, then he placed the orchid in her hands, that was supposed
00:41to 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,
00:58Today he handed my future to a girl he met 6 months ago, Lily walked over to me, she looked
01:04nervous, Chloe I'm so sorry, I told him not to, I really did, then she touched the orchid on her
01:11wrist, straightened it slowly, making sure I saw it, her eyes never changed, that is the thing about Lily, her
01:18mouth says sorry, her hand said he's mine now, Ethan walked over with a drink in his hand, casual, relaxed,
01:25like nothing happened,
01:25Don't be dramatic, Chloe
01:27He 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
01:38Why are you making such a fuss over one orchid, the laughter around me grew louder, she's the bastard daughter,
01:45what did she expect, before I could respond, a voice cut through the crowd, Vivian, graceful as always, untouchable as
01:52ever, she walked toward me with a champagne glass in her hand, smiling, the kind of smile that made everyone
01:58think she was a loving mother,
01:59Chloe, darling, we raised you for 18 years, fed you, clothed you, put a roof over your head, and this
02:07is how you repay us, making a scene at the gala, she glanced at the rose in my hand, then
02:12at the orchid on Lily's wrist, some girls are orchids, some girls aren't, know your place,
02:20300 people watching, not one of them on my side, then my third sister stepped forward, like she'd been waiting
02:27for this, if I were you I wouldn't have shown up tonight, how embarrassing, she circled me slowly, then she
02:32reached out and touched the necklace around my neck, this belongs to the Carter family, she unclasped it, I didn't
02:39move, the earrings too, one then the other, dropped onto a silver tray a waiter was forced to hold, the
02:45bracelet, gone,
02:46the room was so quiet, I could hear the jewelry hitting the tray, my sister looked me up and down,
02:52then smiled, take off the dress too, mom said you've enjoyed enough of the Carter family's kindness, from now on
02:58you'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
03:06myself, the fabric slid off my shoulders, then pulled at my feet, 300 people, camera flashes, whispers,
03:14I stood there in nothing but a silk slip, my whole body is just exposed like this, from head to
03:21toe for everyone to see, my sister finally stopped smiling, she didn't expect me to actually do it, Vivian's glass
03:28paused halfway to her lips, even she didn't expect that, I picked up the dress, folded it neatly, and placed
03:34it on a tray, on top of the jewelry,
03:41there, that's everything, now we're even, then I looked at Ethan, he was frozen, his face was white, Chloe, I
03:51turned around, and walked through 300 people barefoot, in a silk slip, with nothing to my name, my sister's voice
03:59echoed behind me,
04:00oh right, one more thing, that man in DC, I heard he already has someone he truly loves, good luck,
04:07my mother died young, I was taken back to the Carter family when I was still a child, the way
04:12Vivian looked at me, it was as if she wanted me dead, my father had too many women to even
04:17count,
04:18of course, he never cared whether a daughter like me lived or died, I learned to read people from a
04:23very young age, how to survive, if it weren't for this face,
04:26I probably wouldn't have made it this far in one piece, so I survived in the cracks, and I went
04:32to my uncle, I begged him to train me, to bet on me, that man never smiled, so I held
04:37myself together, even when I was shaking inside, making a deal with a tiger means you don't get to be
04:42afraid,
04:42your father has over 20 children, why should I bet on you, you're just an illegitimate daughter,
04:47because I have nothing to lose, and I'm not afraid to bleed,
04:50but the time still isn't right, and uncle Henry won't help me, as for that man in DC, I heard
04:56he's cruel, cross him once, and he'll make you pay for it 10 times over,
05:00the Carter family wants in with him, but they can't bear to sacrifice their real daughters, so they picked me,
05:06of course they did,
05:07uncle Henry had probably already heard how tonight ended, he sent me one text,
05:12you lost, figure it out yourself, I shivered, and wrapped my arms around myself,
05:17I left the banquet, and got into the car, uncle Henry sent, he was already inside, dressed in black, cold
05:23as ice, no smile, not even a trace,
05:26you lost the bet, tomorrow you leave for DC, what happens next depends on your own fate,
05:30I'll come back, we'll see, the corner of his mouth lifted, cold, faint, merciless, just like that, he kicked me
05:37out of the game,
05:38on social media Lily was smiling brightly, thank you for giving me the most beautiful night of my life,
05:44now it's my turn to repay you, the man with his arm around her was still wearing the cufflinks I
05:49gave him,
05:50the next morning before sunrise, I left, no goodbye, no looking back, just a backpack and a one way trip
05:57to the airport,
05:58security, boarding everything went smoothly, as the plane began to taxi, I shut off my phone for good,
06:04just like that, I cut off everything connected to Las Vegas, then the announcement came,
06:10ladies and gentlemen, we are incredibly sorry, we have been ordered to return to the gate,
06:15Mr. Hayes has bought out every flight today to locate one person,
06:23I watched the view outside the window, it suddenly slowed down, just a second ago, everything had still
06:29been rushing past, my mind went blank, the second the plane stopped, my phone got signal again,
06:35calls came flooding in, messages too, then a payment alert popped up, we sincerely apologize
06:40for disturbing your trip, as compensation, the Hayes family will reimburse today's tickets at 10 times
06:45the original price, the cabin went dead silent, not one person said a word, then a few girls behind me
06:52started whispering, who's the Hayes family looking for, they're really making this big of a scene,
06:57this is straight out of a drama, I looked at my phone, my chest tightened, early that morning,
07:02Ethan had gone to the Carter house to find me, when he saw I was gone, he walked straight into
07:07my room,
07:08the dress from last night was still there, so was the jewelry, everything was untouched,
07:12except the backpack I used all the time, that was when he lost it, he dragged the whole family out
07:17of bed,
07:18he questioned every single one of them, that was when he found out I'd already left for DC,
07:23he nearly tore the whole house apart, he called me right away, but by then, I was already on the
07:28plane,
07:29when he realized I hadn't kept a thing from him, he snapped, he grounded every flight and forced them
07:34back, I got off the plane with my backpack, then I stood in the airport completely torn, should I go
07:39back, or keep going, it was still early, and I was starving, so I decided to grab a bite of
07:45steak first,
07:45I could think after I ate, right then, a text from Uncle Henry came in,
07:49do you want to come back, the Hayes family is still willing to have you,
07:53the Carter family was full of schemes, Ethan might have spoiled me, but there was no way he'd throw
07:58away his pride for me, if I went back now, all I'd get would be cold stares, if I kept
08:03going,
08:03maybe I still had a chance, I was halfway through my steak when a group of men in black stormed
08:08in,
08:08any woman who looked even a little pretty got stopped and questioned, a second later,
08:12Ethan rushed in too, he walked right past me, he was drenched in sweat, his phone was clenched in
08:18his hand, he looked shaken, almost helpless, he kept calling my number, over and over,
08:24my phone would not stop vibrating, when no one picked up, he got so mad, he almost smashed it,
08:29the men in black searched everywhere, they came back with nothing,
08:33where is she, keep every route blocked, do 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, I checked the
08:42flights, the plane to NYC had already changed destinations, I sat there waiting to board,
08:47scrolling through the news, Las Vegas tabloids were always insane and ridiculous, the top headline
08:54was all about the Hayes family's golden boy, in giant red letters it read, Ethan Hayes was seen
08:59with a new beauty last night, so why is he buying out an entire flight route today, this kind of
09:04love
09:05is unreal, if a guy came after me like that, I'd say yes on the spot, what do you know,
09:11at the flower gala last night, Mr. Hayes picked some sponsored girl, I bet she conned him,
09:17what, he passed on all those rich girls, and now he regrets it, I pressed my lips together,
09:23I said nothing, I just took a sip of coffee, I'm telling you, Mr. Hayes probably didn't even know
09:29giving her that flower meant a confession, wow, you even know that, that's nothing, I got invited
09:35to last night's gala too, I froze, for a second, I thought maybe I knew her, I glanced back and
09:40didn't recognize her, I'm so lucky, it's not a big deal, my family knows people in Las Vegas's
09:46upper circle, so what did that girl look like, really pretty, they're like, like seriously gorgeous,
09:53no one can figure out why Mr. Hayes gave the flower to some outsider, but honestly, same difference,
09:59then the girl switched tones, pure contempt, that pretty girl, she's just an illegitimate
10:05daughter, she's nothing like us, we're the real daughters, I let out an awkward little
10:10cough, both girls turned around, she still didn't notice anything, if anything, she got
10:15louder, maybe Ethan will wise up and pick me, I'm the princess of my family, I had zero interest
10:22in eavesdropping any longer, so I got up and paid my bill, as I passed, the loudest girl saw
10:27my face, her whole expression froze, what, you know her, the other girl looked up at
10:33me, she's gorgeous, you're, she glanced past me at the men still searching all over the
10:40airport, then she started stammering, wait, Ethan's looking for you, I put a finger to
10:46my lips, both girls slapped their hands over their mouths, their eyes went huge, I had already
10:52walked a good distance away when one of them finally screamed, you never said she looked like
10:57that, you seriously have no shot, the second I got to the gate, another refund alert hit
11:02my phone, I almost laughed, the Hayes family had reached everywhere, they had actually bought
11:07out flights to other cities too, I gripped my phone, I really didn't know whether to go
11:11forward or turn back, while I was still hesitating, a call came in, a DC number, hello, who's this?
11:19Ryan Shaw, the man I was supposed to marry, his voice was cool, low, clean, way too easy to
11:25like, I'm sorry, my plane is on the tarmac, walk outside, they'll bring you to me, I was
11:31just about to explain, Ethan had shut down the flight routes when I saw it, a private jet
11:35was parked out on the tarmac, a few older men in black got off and stood there waiting, straight
11:41back to respectful, okay, I hung up quietly and headed straight for the plane, the second
11:47I stepped outside, an umbrella opened over my head, Mrs. Shaw, we're here to take you home,
11:52right then, Ethan finally saw me, he strode over fast and grabbed my wrist, Chloe, you're
12:03coming with me, several bodyguards moved in at once, they closed around me, at the same
12:08time, Ryan's people stepped in front of me too, both sides squared off, the people nearby
12:13instantly pulled out their phones, nobody wanted to miss this, the man leading Ryan's side
12:18looked like a family butler, sharp suit, perfect posture, old school money from head to toe,
12:24he was smiling, but there wasn't one ounce of warmth in it, Mr. Hayes, I'm here to bring
12:30Mrs. Shaw back, please let go, we're still in Las Vegas, I'd like to see who thinks they
12:36can take her, then he looked straight at me through the crowd around us, your family was
12:40forcing you into this marriage, why didn't you tell me, I almost laughed from frustration,
12:47Ethan, you protected me for years, I'm grateful for that, things ended up here, I don't blame
12:54anyone, what the hell does that mean, you don't blame anyone, if you don't blame me, then come
13:00back with me, I'll talk to your family, I'll marry you, I looked up at him, rain started
13:05coming down, his hair was a mess, his eyes were red from panic, Ryan's butler stayed planted
13:10in front of me, calm, professional, sorry, the time we agreed on with the Carter family
13:15has arrived, Mrs. Shaw can only come with us today, Ethan didn't even look at him, he
13:21only stared at me, I shook my head, Ethan, I told you before, I only wanted that three
13:26year promise from you, I already have someone I like, I was never planning to marry you, again,
13:32you've been stuck inside that house your whole life, who could you possibly like, I know
13:35you hate it when I call you my shadow, but stop being stubborn, come back with me, let's
13:39talk when we get back, okay, without realizing it, he was pleading now, and I was grateful,
13:44I really was, but the second he let go of my hand and gave that flower to his sponsored
13:48girl, we were done, we were never meant to walk the same path again, Ethan, your future
13:53wife is Lily, the whole city knows that now, you two should be happy together, who the hell
13:58would marry some sponsored girl, are you kidding me, I'd marry you before I'd ever marry her,
14:03my eyes dimmed, that was the problem with Ethan, he liked me enough, but never respected
14:08me enough, and in that moment, every bit of hesitation finally left me, I followed the
14:13butler and strode toward the plane, Ethan stayed where he was, his eyes looked ready to spit fire,
14:19Chloe, think this through, once you go to DC, nobody's gonna protect you anymore, so you're
14:25really not marrying me, if you walk away now, don't regret it, the butler had already set
14:29out fresh clothes, he pointed to the washroom and back, his voice was low, you should rent
14:34off, staying soaked like that gets you sick fast, the jet was ridiculously fancy, no way
14:40it was rented, it had to be the Shaw family's private jet figures, typical DC old money, even
14:46the Carters don't own a private jet, my dad only chartered one once in a while, and this
14:51thing had everything, a bathroom, a full bed, what threw me off was the bed itself, soft
14:57pink bedding, not exactly Ryan Shaw's vibe, in the bathroom, I changed into the clothes
15:02they'd prepared, then I froze again, they were my exact size, when I came back out, the
15:08butler had already sent the bodyguards to the rear cabin, I looked at him, does Mr. Shaw
15:13usually fly on this, he caught my confusion right away, he bought this jet for you, everything
15:18was designed around your taste, even the bedding, he picked it himself, made from the softest,
15:25most comfortable material, I was stunned, something this expensive, and he just gave it away to
15:31someone unrelated to him, wasn't he supposed to have a girl he loved, it's still a long
15:36flight, you can rest a bit, the butler kept going, DC is dry, we prepared a humidifier for
15:43you, no one had ever cared how I felt, I was always the one watching everybody else, that
15:48sudden kindness threw me off, I couldn't even sit still, thankfully the butler saw I
15:53was tense, he quietly stepped away, I took out a pen and started drawing, but my mind
15:58was all over the place, all I felt was dread, the plane touched down on a huge stretch of
16:03green, Anse looked closer, I realized it wasn't a runway, it was the Shaw estate, I grew up rich
16:09in Las Vegas, but even I had never seen anything this insane, Ryan came to meet me himself,
16:15he wore a soft smile, nothing like the rumors, not cold, not cruel, he draped a coat over my
16:21shoulders, his voice was warm, are you cold, then I stepped aside a little, Mr. Shaw, I
16:28know you love someone else, I know you were forced to marry me, don't worry, just give me
16:33three years, I won't keep you away from her for long, after that, we split, someone I
16:39love, three years, yeah, three years, I'll do the wife thing, that's it, I won't interfere,
16:48when the time's up, I leave, clean break, his brow tightened, he looked at the butler, that
16:54look was pure interrogation, when no one answered, who told you we keep score like that, Mrs.
17:00Shaw, he hooked a finger under my chin, then leaned in closer, what's mine is yours, Mrs.
17:11Shaw, even after we walked inside, I still hadn't snapped out of it, wasn't he supposed
17:16to be icy, wasn't he supposed to be ruthless, Ryan Shaw's house was all sharp lines, simple
17:22furniture, cold tones, clean, precise, but there was color too, pillows, rugs, flowers, new additions,
17:30still, nothing looked wrong, everything fit, the taste was flawless, the whole place felt
17:36warmer than it should, I sat on the sofa, then handed him a sheet of paper, my proposal, take
17:43a look, I need to borrow money, I'll pay it back in installments, I felt my face heat up,
17:51I was the gambling king's daughter, yet I came here with one backpack, no jewelry, no dowry,
17:56no valuables, nothing, in the Shaw family's eyes that was almost insulting, before I landed,
18:03I had already looked into them, the Shaw family stood at the top untouchable, unshaken, they
18:09needed nothing, not money, not marriage alliances, anyone begging them for help could line up across
18:15Las Vegas, so I still couldn't understand it, why would the Shaw family choose the Carter
18:20family, I pressed my lips together, I have no money, but don't worry, I'll pay you back,
18:26he took my cold hand and said, his palm was warm, he rubbed my fingers slowly, my face
18:32burned again, he looked pleased, very pleased, what do you need it for, I looked up, then
18:38it hit me, maybe as Ryan Shaw's wife, I wasn't meant to have any financial power at all, maybe
18:43I was supposed to just spend what they gave me, maybe that was the rule, Mr. Shaw, I don't
18:49want to stay under the Carter family's control, I won't be a useless trophy wife, I won't live
18:55on handouts, I want my own career, and if I can, I want the part of the Carter family
19:00that belongs to me, Ryan paused, that answer surprised him, I had been too direct, he reached
19:05out, rubbed my hair, then said softly, everything I have is yours, my card, spend whatever you
19:12want, I just couldn't tell what the distance in his eyes meant, Ryan gave me a beautiful
19:17suite in the estate, bright, sunny, beautiful like a princess room, I stood there stunned,
19:22in the Carter family, I had never had anything like this, I was just the illegitimate daughter,
19:27that night I finally slept well, the next morning Uncle Henry came first, in the Carter
19:32family, Uncle Henry was the only one who had ever protected me, but his kindness always
19:37had a price, always, Ethan is tearing the city apart, why didn't you come back, I'm a person,
19:43not a pet that comes whenever you call, oh, I thought you already accepted your role, a tool
19:47for revenge, for three years I did everything a Mrs. Shaw should do, I attended banquets with
19:52Ryan, stood by his side, smiled when needed, spoke when needed, in that world everyone knew
19:59me, they praised me, flattered me, tried to win me over, to them, I was a lucky girl, beautiful,
20:05quiet, harmless, Ryan spoiled me, everyone saw it, three years passed, I borrowed only one
20:12million from the Shaw family, to outsiders I am that lucky, quiet, harmless Voss, but I
20:18have never forgotten my true purpose for being here, but I never forgot why I was here, that
20:23one million opened the door to Las Vegas high society, I used their connections, their networks,
20:30their greed, then I aimed it all at the Carter family, I crushed their influence, stole their
20:35talent, cut their ground out from under them, little by little my father saw the truth, all
20:40his children were useless, every one of them, the other branches panicked, they were scared,
20:46scared of losing money, scared of losing status, so they sold their shares, and multiplied again
20:52and again, and just when my father thought he had won the most, I took the seat of the largest
20:57shareholder in the Carter family, by then the Carter heirs were already finished, every single
21:02one.
21:11For more information visit the Carter family, by then number one, let me know in the Carter
21:11family, by then number one, let me know in the Carter family.
21:11What happened to the Carter family?
21:12Gracias.
