00:00Three days after I died, my fiancé, Logan, got the call to identify my body.
00:05He was lying in a woman's arms.
00:06Dad? Fine. Cremate it first. Then tell me.
00:11They burned my body, turned me into ashes, then called him again.
00:15He groaned, annoyed.
00:18Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll be there.
00:20Two hours later, he showed up, clothes messy, lips marked, just out of a woman's bed.
00:25The staff handed him a small box.
00:27He took it casually, a mocking smile in his eyes.
00:32Really Lydia's ashes? Or just some random stuff?
00:35Sir, we have records. This is Lydia Vale's ashes.
00:39If you don't believe that, go check it out.
00:42No need. Not necessary.
00:44I felt a small relief. My body was dead, but my spirit still here.
00:49Now that Logan got my ashes, even if he hated me, he'd probably bury me out of respect.
00:53But I didn't get to feel happy.
00:55The next moment...
00:56Oops. Slipped.
00:58He raised his foot and ground it hard into my ashes.
01:01Tell Lydia, tricks won't work on me.
01:05My father's death anniversary is coming.
01:07She better pay her respects at my father's grave.
01:11Or I'll turn her fake death into the real thing!
01:16Every word was terrifying, but I knew he could really do it.
01:19I suddenly felt lucky I was already dead.
01:22If I were still alive, in his hands, I'd be doomed to die even worse.
01:26Before the staff could say anything, Logan got a call. He had to leave.
01:30Strangely, my spirit followed him.
01:33I ended up in the passenger seat, stuck, listening to him talk.
01:36The voice was familiar.
01:38Camille, Logan's adopted sister.
01:40Back 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.
01:50Logan had a serious talk with her once.
01:52I don't know what he said, but after that, Camille stayed in line.
01:55Now, hearing her mention me...
01:57Don't bring her up again.
01:58She's not dead?
01:59No way.
02:00She's just hiding.
02:01Afraid I'll drag her back to face my father?
02:05But, what if she really died?
02:08Logan?
02:09What would you do?
02:11I instinctively looked at him.
02:13Back then, the old Logan would have crumbled if I just scraped my hand.
02:16He said I was the only one he'd ever love.
02:19But now...
02:19He laughed coldly.
02:21Then I'd throw a party.
02:22For all of Los Angeles.
02:25Three days.
02:26Three nights.
02:27Only now did I realize.
02:29Logan hated me this much.
02:32So much that my death was something worth celebrating to him.
02:36But Logan...
02:37I really am dead.
02:39You just refuse to believe it.
02:42The car stopped in front of a bridal shop.
02:44Logan rushed inside, almost impatient.
02:47And suddenly, I remembered.
02:48The last time he brought me here.
02:50The way he looked at me.
02:52Full of love.
02:53He promised me I would be the happiest bride in the world.
02:57But now, he stood there smiling.
03:02They looked perfect together.
03:06Beautiful.
03:08Logan...
03:09I've been waiting for this day.
03:12I stared, frozen in disbelief.
03:14As Camille leaned in and kissed him.
03:18I rushed forward, trying to stop them.
03:20But I...
03:21Passed right through his body.
03:23I could only stand there, helpless.
03:25How could this happen?
03:27Why Camille?
03:28She's the one who killed your father!
03:30Logan!
03:32Camille touched Logan's head, smiling softly.
03:35By the way, Logan, is she okay?
03:38Logan's face stayed cold, even a little annoyed.
03:41What could happen?
03:42Just a little trick.
03:44And...
03:45Should we invite her to our wedding?
03:48Of course we invite her.
03:49She's an important guest.
03:51I froze.
03:52I realized.
03:53Logan wanted me to see his wedding with my own eyes.
03:57After all, this was the scene I'd been longing for.
04:00Back then, his father never gave his blessing.
04:02We never had the chance to have a proper wedding.
04:05But before that wish could ever come true,
04:08his father died.
04:10A heart attack.
04:12No cure.
04:14Just...
04:14Gone.
04:15The last call he made was to me.
04:18That night, Logan blamed me.
04:21Completely.
04:22On the day his father was buried,
04:24he forced me to kneel at the grave.
04:27Lydia, from now on,
04:29you and I won't stop.
04:32Until one of us dies.
04:34From that day,
04:35I was no longer Logan's lover.
04:37I became his enemy.
04:39He wouldn't let me leave.
04:41Every day he brought a new woman home,
04:43seeing my tear-stained eyes.
04:46Can't take it, Lydia?
04:48This is all your fault.
04:49Who else can you blame but yourself?
04:51He knew his father never liked me.
04:53He thought his father's heart attack
04:55was my fault.
04:56But Logan forgot how deeply we had loved.
05:00He had risked everything,
05:01even defying the Pierce family.
05:03How could I betray him?
05:04How could I hurt his father?
05:06After sending Camille away,
05:08he seemed to remember me.
05:09He generously took me off his blacklist.
05:14Lydia, dare not pick up my call,
05:16and you're dead!
05:18Two weeks later,
05:19Logan finally came back home.
05:21Lydia, get out here now!
05:22He slammed through door after door,
05:24but I was nowhere to be found.
05:26He barked orders to his men,
05:28searching for me.
05:29Lydia, if you're running, run far.
05:32Because when I find you,
05:34I'll break your legs.
05:36Little did he know,
05:37the one he wanted to hurt most
05:38was right in front of him.
05:40Soon his men sent him a location.
05:42Lydia's last call was to Lucas Hart.
05:44I looked closer,
05:45and realized it was Lucas' house.
05:48But Mr. Hart said he hasn't seen her.
05:49We suspect one of his employees
05:52may have kidnapped her.
05:53Kidnapped?
05:54Stop kidding.
05:55She must choose to go there herself.
05:57I'll be there soon.
06:03Where's my wife?
06:04Where are you hiding her?
06:05I'm not hiding her.
06:07She's dead.
06:08Didn't the crematorium notify you
06:09to pick up her ashes?
06:11She even got you to help with the act?
06:13Looks like Lydia's really determined
06:15to avoid me this time.
06:16But am I really that easy to fool?
06:18Lydia, hiding won't get you anywhere.
06:20I'll count to three.
06:22If you don't come out,
06:22don't blame me for being ruthless.
06:24Three, two, one.
06:28Logan shoved Lucas to the ground.
06:29Search the house!
06:30Find her!
06:31Lucas' calm face now flashed with anger.
06:35Logan, Lydia is already dead.
06:37You even claimed her ashes yourself.
06:39Have you forgotten?
06:40She's dead.
06:42Dead for days.
06:44Shut up.
06:46And at a time like this,
06:47you still play games with her?
06:50Lucas, you really love her, don't you?
06:51But let me remind you,
06:52she loves me.
06:53She belongs to me.
06:54Maybe one day, if I get tired,
06:56I'll think about letting you have her.
06:57But for now,
06:58she has to go to my father's grave
06:59and pay her dues.
07:00She won't be with you.
07:01Logan, you're such a bastard.
07:03In an instant,
07:04they were grappling violently,
07:06rolling, punching,
07:08fueled by pure fury.
07:09But I was powerless to stand.
07:11Lucas, look at you,
07:13almost getting killed over Lithia.
07:16And her,
07:17watching calmly.
07:18A heartless woman like that,
07:20worth your love?
07:22Logan,
07:23the pitiful one is you.
07:25You forgive the man
07:26who killed your father.
07:27You hurt the one you love!
07:29You live worse
07:29than a stray cat or dog.
07:32What did you just say?
07:33Done!
07:35We found traffic cam footage
07:37of Miss Lydia's accident
07:39and
07:41her autopsy report.
07:43Logan froze for a long moment.
07:45No, no, no, no!
07:47This can't be!
07:47I have to find her!
07:48Bring her home!
07:49No, no!
07:50She's at home!
07:51She has to be!
07:51She's doing this on purpose
07:53just to make me come back, right?
07:55Home!
07:56Home!
07:57Home!
07:58But the next second,
07:59he pushed open the wrong door.
08:02Logan froze.
08:04The desk was covered with photos of me.
08:06Every photo showed my face,
08:08drenched in blood.
08:09Some were so mangled
08:11I was barely recognizable.
08:12I glanced once,
08:14then quickly looked away.
08:15I knew how horrific my death had been.
08:17The coroner struggled to confirm
08:19my identity back then,
08:20and now.
08:21Lucas laid the photos out openly.
08:24Logan trembled,
08:26clutching the photos in his hands.
08:28Then he shifted to the computer screen.
08:30There it was.
08:31The footage of my car crash.
08:33Two vehicles collided head-on.
08:35My car launched into the air almost instantly.
08:38The scene was horrifying.
08:40Logan's eyes reddened immediately.
08:42His hand shook as he gripped the mouse.
08:44He replayed the video again,
08:47and again.
08:47This can't be.
08:49How could Lydia possibly?
08:50All the evidence is right in front of you,
08:53and you still won't believe it?
08:55Logan, how long are you going to keep fooling yourself?
09:03How would you know?
09:05She got in a car accident?
09:07You didn't know?
09:09Her last call,
09:11it was to me.
09:13She barely had strength to speak,
09:15but she used her last bit of energy to tell me
09:18a secret.
09:20What secret?
09:21She said,
09:23the one who killed your father.
09:25It was Camille.
09:26That's impossible!
09:27It can't be Camille!
09:30She's my sister.
09:31My father loved her so much.
09:35Lucas?
09:36You're lying to me!
09:38Is this some trick?
09:40You and Lydia cooked up?
09:42Trying to help her escape me?
09:44Don't even think about it!
09:45Lucas!
09:47Tell Lydia.
09:48She may be dead.
09:50But in this life,
09:51she dies by my side.
09:53I lowered my lashes,
09:55swallowing the ache in my chest.
09:57I was already dead.
09:59Whether Logan believed the truth or not,
10:01irrelevant.
10:02He could never hurt me again.
10:04As I walked away,
10:05a sharp gaze cut through me.
10:07I turned and met Lucas's eyes.
10:10His eyes reddened,
10:12lips trembling.
10:13Lydia.
10:14I froze for a few seconds.
10:16My eyes stung with heat.
10:18That silent, trembling.
10:20I finally knew.
10:21Lucas could see me.
10:24Lucas was my best friend.
10:26We'd grown up together,
10:28inseparable.
10:29In college,
10:30I met Logan.
10:31From that moment,
10:32I fell hopelessly in love.
10:35Logan.
10:35Dangerous.
10:36Lucas tried to warn me countless times.
10:39He eventually went abroad to study.
10:41We slowly drifted apart.
10:43Until,
10:44Logan's father had an accident.
10:45Lucas returned,
10:47determined to take me away.
10:48But I refused.
10:50I couldn't let go of Logan.
10:52Not long after,
10:53I discovered Camilla's secret.
10:55And she ended me,
10:57mercilessly.
10:58Looking back now,
10:59all that remains is regret.
11:01If it weren't for Logan,
11:03the man I would have married
11:04would have been him.
11:06The phone rang.
11:07It snapped me back.
11:10Caller ID,
11:11Camilla.
11:15Tomorrow's dad's memorial?
11:17Do you think Lydia
11:18will come?
11:21She's already dead.
11:23The line went dead.
11:24And I watched.
11:26Logan.
11:27He cried.
11:28Buried his face in the wheel.
11:30I sighed.
11:32If only this had been avoided.
11:33If only back then.
11:35Logan,
11:36your regret is too late.
11:38He set his jaw.
11:40Drove straight to the crematorium.
11:42Even at night.
11:43Even as a ghost.
11:44Fear crept in.
11:46But Logan.
11:47Untouchable.
11:48He slammed the crematorium doors.
11:50Where's Lydia's ashes?
11:52Give them to me!
11:53Now!
11:54The staff froze.
11:55They knew him.
11:56The man who had thrown my ashes.
11:58Sorry, Mr. Pierce.
11:59The ashes are already scattered.
12:01There's no bringing them back.
12:03Yes.
12:04He didn't just spill them.
12:05He stopped.
12:07Kicked.
12:08Trampled them flat.
12:10Give them to me.
12:12Don't lie to me!
12:13When I left,
12:14they were still on the floor!
12:15You must have held them back!
12:17You have three minutes.
12:18Give me Lydia's ashes!
12:21Sir,
12:22we really don't have them.
12:24The ashes we gave you?
12:25Every last bit.
12:27Twist this,
12:28and we'll call the cops.
12:30Logan froze,
12:31finally facing the truth.
12:33My ashes were gone.
12:34Scattered by him,
12:36I gave a quiet glance
12:37to the poor staff
12:38caught in the chaos.
12:39My spirit followed Logan.
12:41I knew he couldn't see me,
12:42yet my heart pounded like a drum.
12:45Endless window.
12:46Until the sky began to pale.
12:48A hint of grey creeping in.
12:50Sleepless.
12:51Worn.
12:52I reached out to touch his face.
12:54But at the last second,
12:55my fingertips burned like fire.
12:57Pain shooting through me.
12:59Logan, you cursed me to hell after my death.
13:02Looks like,
13:03it's finally starting to come true.
13:05This year,
13:06at his father's grave,
13:07only Logan and Camilla remained.
13:09Every time I saw her,
13:10my soul would shake.
13:12She's the one who killed his father.
13:14Yet Logan stood there,
13:15calm and gentle.
13:17Dad,
13:18Logan and I came to see you.
13:21Oh, and Lydia is dead now.
13:23You can finally rest in peace.
13:25Dad,
13:26I have good news.
13:27I'm marrying Camilla.
13:29You watched her grow up.
13:31You'll be happy for us,
13:32right?
13:33Then he paused and said,
13:35About Lydia.
13:37Dad,
13:37I was wrong.
13:38Thunder rolled across the sky,
13:40loud and deep.
13:41But that one sentence
13:42hit harder than anything.
13:44I was wrong.
13:45It echoed in my head,
13:46louder than thunder,
13:48sharper than pain.
13:49They looked like a perfect pair,
13:51a love so rare.
13:52And me?
13:53I was just the storm they had to survive.
13:55The pain in their story,
13:57the price they paid,
13:58to be alive.
14:00Now they all done,
14:02and they get their happy ending.
14:04In the days that followed,
14:06Logan threw himself
14:07into his wedding with Camilla.
14:08The dress,
14:09the rings,
14:10the invitations.
14:11Everything I had dreamed of,
14:13Logan gave to Camilla
14:14without missing a beat.
14:15He ignored everything else.
14:17Work,
14:18company,
14:19nothing mattered.
14:20All he could think about
14:21was their wedding.
14:22The good news?
14:23It seemed,
14:24I could finally leave Logan behind.
14:28Lydia.
14:28I froze,
14:29then slowly turned around.
14:31The night was dark,
14:33but there was Lucas,
14:34standing under the streetlight.
14:35His eyes were red as he saw me.
14:38Lydia.
14:40It's really you.
14:41I almost forgot.
14:42Lucas could see me.
14:44He stood there carefully,
14:45afraid it was just a trick in his eyes.
14:47When he saw me smile and reach out,
14:50he couldn't hold back.
14:51Lydia,
14:51why?
14:52Why can't I feel you?
14:54Lydia.
14:55I smiled,
14:56silent,
14:56and Lucas understood.
15:00Right.
15:02You're already dead.
15:03I went with him back to his house.
15:06On his desk lay a stack of files,
15:08proof about me and father's death.
15:09I realized,
15:10ever since I died,
15:12Lucas had been investigating the crash.
15:14The mastermind behind it was Camilla.
15:16And the news that Camilla was marrying Logan
15:19was everywhere.
15:20If I had known Logan was such a bastard,
15:23I should have taken you away back then.
15:26Then,
15:26let me give them a special gift at their wedding.
15:29On Logan's wedding day,
15:31every big name in Los Angeles was there.
15:33Lucas didn't have an invitation.
15:35So,
15:36of course,
15:37he was stopped at the door.
15:38Logan stood in a perfectly fitted suit.
15:41He glanced at Lucas.
15:43Let him in.
15:45Lucas gave a faint,
15:46mocking smile.
15:48The wedding was insanely luxurious.
15:51On the giant screen,
15:53their wedding photos played on repeat.
15:57Lucas suddenly stepped in front of me,
15:59blocking my view.
16:01What's there to watch?
16:03Trash like that isn't worth your eyes, Lydia.
16:05I nodded,
16:06and looked away.
16:08Soon,
16:08the ceremony began.
16:10Logan stood on the stage,
16:11staring at the entrance without blinking.
16:14That's where his bride would walk in.
16:16This is the moment I had imagined,
16:18countless times.
16:19And now,
16:20it was finally happening.
16:22Just,
16:23I wasn't the one standing beside him.
16:25Camilla walked down the aisle.
16:28The officiant's voice echoed.
16:30I watched the man I once dreamed of marrying.
16:33My chest tightened.
16:35Tears burned in my eyes.
16:37I wanted to run away.
16:40Lydia,
16:42don't rush.
16:43It'll be over soon.
16:45But on stage,
16:46Logan still hadn't said the words.
16:49Logan, say it already!
16:50Everyone's watching!
16:51Logan looked at her,
16:53his eyes dark.
16:54Then he smiled,
16:55slowly.
16:56And,
16:57word by word,
16:58I don't.
