My Ex Was A Mob Boss

Short filmTranscript
00:00I saw Bennett again at my client's wedding. He was the groom. He was all dressed up in a pricey
00:05custom suit, hair perfectly styled, looking classy and proud. Nothing like the broke guy I used to know. I wasn't
00:13going to say hi. Our breakup wasn't exactly pretty. I was the one who dumped him. Back then, he was
00:19down on his knees, crying, begging me to stay. I didn't even look back. Finally, he snapped.
00:25Jade, you walk out that door, don't come crying later. Even if you crawl back, I won't give you a
00:32single place.
00:33I got out of there fast. Three years in that tiny, grimy rental with him was more than enough. Never
00:40thought I'd run into him at his own wedding. Awkward. I turned to leave, but then I heard the groomsmen
00:45joking around with Bennett.
00:46Remember when Bennett wanted to play that true love game and still got dumped? Too bad. Faking unemployment was his
00:54final test. If she'd held on just a little longer, she'd be the bride today.
01:00That gold digger's going to be kicking herself when she finds out she dumped the heir of the Hayes family.
01:04Amid his buddy's jokes, Bennett just smirked.
01:07Too late for regrets anyway.
01:09I knew they were talking about me, the so-called gold digger. So they really think I left him because
01:15he was broke? Truth is, I knew all along.
01:19About a year into dating Bennett, I was working a side gig at a five-star hotel and saw him
01:24there, dressed in designer clothes, checking things out.
01:27The manager called him Mr. Hayes. That's when I found out the hotel was his family's business.
01:33The Hayes family is pretty well known in New York. One of the bigger gangs. My broken, scruffy first love
01:40turned out to be a rich mafia heir.
01:42Honestly, I don't really care about his identity because I knew Bennett really loved me. He'd cheer me up when
01:49I was sad, take care of me when I was sick.
01:52Rich or poor, he was still the best boyfriend. So if he wanted to play the poor boy game, I'd
01:58just play along.
01:59But then my mom got sick and needed money for surgery, and he was still having fun testing me by
02:05pretending to be broke.
02:06I dumped him and married a rich guy who'd been chasing me. Sorry to disappoint Bennett and his boys. I
02:12don't regret anything.
02:14Suddenly, the bride walked over, grabbed my hand, and pulled me in front of Bennett. Excitedly, she introduced me.
02:20Ben, look. This is Jade, one of the directors at Sky Gallery I told you about. I kept saying we
02:27look alike, and you didn't believe me.
02:29The man looked up. He froze for just a second, then glanced at me coldly.
02:34Yeah, she does look like you, but not as pretty or as young.
02:39The bride, Lily, was my client. She first came to my gallery two weeks ago, looking for some art for
02:44her new place.
02:45When we saw each other's faces, we both froze. The resemblance was crazy. At least 60%, 70%. It clicked right
02:52away.
02:53Lily came by four or five times, picked out eight paintings, and casually dropped five million dollars on her black
02:59card like it was nothing.
03:00Before leaving, she handed me the address to some estate and casually invited me to her wedding.
03:05These past few days, she kept bringing up her fiancé. Young, rich, handsome, generous with her.
03:10She'd talk about it all with this huge smile, saying how lucky she was. A fresh grad from an average
03:15family, somehow landing such a great catch.
03:18She really is luckier than me.
03:20Right after I graduated, I met Bennett. Too bad he was busy pretending to be broke.
03:24Not only did he not spend on me, he spent my money.
03:28Three years passed, and he never once planned to marry me.
03:31Since Lily was a big client, and I wanted to network, I said yes to the invite.
03:34But I never imagined her groom would still be Bennett.
03:38A year ago, my mom was diagnosed with a serious illness.
03:42The huge surgery bill was crushing me.
03:45I swallowed my pride and hinted to Bennett about the money we needed.
03:50Ben, could you lend me some money?
03:52He froze for a second.
03:53I'm broke too, but I'll try to borrow some, pick up extra shifts.
03:57Then he left.
03:58When he came back, his leg was in a cast.
04:01Said he fell off some scaffolding at a construction site.
04:05His boss found out about the side gig.
04:07He got fired.
04:08Jade, now that I'm like this, would you still take care of me?
04:12Ben, I really need the money. Is there really nothing you want to tell me? Please?
04:16I'm sorry, Jade. I'm too poor. I'm just dragging you down.
04:19This is all I have, $100. Take it. For your mom.
04:23Why even now was he still playing the poor boy game?
04:26I knew he was testing me, but I was exhausted.
04:30I walked into the bathroom, pulled out my phone and texted Xavier, the guy who'd been chasing me.
04:35You said you wanted to marry me. Did you mean it?
04:37In that moment, all my pride was gone.
04:40I truly fell in love with money.
04:42Snapping back to the present, Bennett frowned at me.
04:44Nothing to say? Too ashamed to talk?
04:47Nothing to say. Go back inside. Don't keep your bride waiting.
04:50I turned away from the wind and wiped a tear from the corner.
04:53Bennett smirked, pulled out a ring box, and flashed it in my face.
04:56Crying won't help now. This ring? I bought it the day you dumped me.
05:01Five million. You could have been Mrs. Hazy's today.
05:04But you don't deserve it.
05:06Girls like you, chasing money? You're only good for being someone's secret.
05:12Before he could finish, my phone rang. I ignored him and picked up. It was my husband.
05:17When are you coming home? Come back early if you can.
05:19I'll be home by seven. Missed you after two weeks away.
05:23Okay. I'm on my way. Bye, honey husband.
05:26A smile tugged at my lips, then hung up.
05:29I looked up at Bennett. His face was dark.
05:31You're married?
05:33On the way home, Xavier sent me a few more photos, just sharing the scenery from his trip.
05:38Then another message popped up. Miss you.
05:40Every time we're apart, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
05:44Truth is, I miss him too.
05:45I first met Xavier while I was sketching by a lake in the suburbs.
05:49I had my easel set up. He was always jogging on the path by the water.
05:53We kept running into each other. Got familiar.
05:55My little brother needs an art teacher. Are you interested?
05:58When I got to his villa, he was loaded.
06:01But his brother wasn't really into painting. Such a waste.
06:05He'd already paid me a fortune.
06:07So Xavier offered to switch. He'd be the student instead.
06:10Turns out, he had talent.
06:12I even bragged it was my great teaching.
06:15See? There's no student I can't teach well.
06:18Then, right before we got married, I met his parents.
06:21Found out his mom is the famous artist, Shemay.
06:24I'd even taken her class when she was a guest professor at the academy.
06:28That's when it hit me.
06:29The whole tutor my brother thing? Totally planned.
06:32Back then though, I was so clueless.
06:35My head was still full of Bennett.
06:38Until Xavier just laid it out.
06:40He said he liked me.
06:42I love you and want to marry you.
06:44I was completely stunned.
06:46I have a boyfriend.
06:47I know, but you're not married yet.
06:49Compare our situations.
06:51Then decide.
06:52And honestly, I've got a feeling he's not the one for you.
06:55I'm just ordinary.
06:56Guys like you don't lack for women.
06:59That's different.
07:00I don't like other women.
07:01I like you.
07:02The way you lose yourself in your paintings.
07:03I actually noticed you first at the academy art show.
07:06We've run into each other so many times since.
07:08You never remembered.
07:09Will you try to remember me now?
07:10His sudden confession was so awkward.
07:12I grabbed the tutoring fee and bolted that night.
07:15But then my mom got sick.
07:17I was desperate for money.
07:19And Bennett?
07:19Still playing broke.
07:21So I pulled Xavier out of my blacklist and texted him.
07:24You said you wanted to marry me.
07:25Did you mean it?
07:26Three seconds later.
07:28Yes.
07:29I want to marry you.
07:30If I asked to borrow $300,000, would you lend it?
07:33Or send me your bank details.
07:36You'd never guess from his cool act earlier.
07:38But now, Xavier couldn't control himself.
07:40Two weeks without it, and the guy had serious stamina.
07:43The bed was creaking like crazy.
07:46Too hard.
07:47Before I could even finish, the bed collapsed.
07:50After holding up for a year, it finally gave out.
07:52It happened so fast.
07:54Xavier hit the floor and hurt his back.
07:56Don't worry.
07:57This won't affect our happiness.
07:58Next morning, I went with him to the hospital.
08:01How did you injure your waist?
08:02We both turned bright red.
08:04How were we supposed to explain that?
08:06Turns out, it was a hairline fracture.
08:08They put him in a private room.
08:09Somehow, word got to Xavier's dad.
08:11He showed up and gave us a lecture.
08:13Even if you're trying for a baby, you need to show some restraint.
08:16I made an excuse and bolted.
08:18In the hallway, someone called out to me.
08:20I turned.
08:21One of the groomsmen from Bennett's wedding yesterday.
08:23What are you doing here?
08:24Pretty manipulative.
08:26Show up at Ben's wedding to cause drama,
08:28then come to the hospital looking for him?
08:30Trying to sneak back in while he's vulnerable?
08:33I frowned.
08:34Bennett's in the hospital too?
08:36Stop pretending.
08:37You knew he was here.
08:37That's why you came, right?
08:39You've got some nerve showing up.
08:40Found out Ben's the heir to the Hayes crime family
08:42and now you're regretting it, huh?
08:43A gold digger like you can't even compare to Lily.
08:46Who knows why Ben's still hung up on you?
08:48Yesterday was supposed to be their wedding
08:49and their one-year anniversary, and you ruined it.
08:51So, one week after Bennett and I broke up,
08:54he was already with someone else?
08:56Doesn't sound like he was that broken up about it.
08:59Bennett's friend just kept going.
09:00All fired up.
09:01Every word and accusation.
09:03I did the math in my head.
09:04Jade, have you no shame?
09:06You expect him to stay celibus for you?
09:07Come with me.
09:08What are you doing?
09:10What are you doing?
09:11I'm done talking.
09:12Get lost.
09:12Are you insane?
09:14As we struggled, another hand grabbed my other arm
09:16and pulled me into a chest.
09:18Bob, don't touch her.
09:20Shocked to see Bennett standing there perfectly fine.
09:23Weren't you unconscious?
09:25I faked it.
09:26Don't tell Lily.
09:27Ben, are you crazy?
09:28You faked being sick to get out of your wedding?
09:31For her?
09:32Shut up!
09:34Bennett snapped,
09:34then grabbed me
09:36and pulled me into his hospital room,
09:38slamming the door shut.
09:39Bob's voice came from outside.
09:41Keep this up
09:42and you'll drive her away for good.
09:43Then you'll really regret it.
09:45I'm done with your drama.
09:46Footsteps faded.
09:48Let go of me.
09:48But Bennett pinned me against it.
09:50His breath was heavy on my face.
09:52Jade, happy now?
09:55I ran out at my wedding.
09:56For you.
09:57Just admit you were wrong
09:58and I'll let you come back.
10:00I rolled my eyes.
10:02I'm really married.
10:03I'm not wearing my ring
10:04but I have wedding photos on my phone.
10:06I can show you.
10:07Getting smarter.
10:08Even photoshopped pictures now.
10:10My husband is in a room on this floor.
10:11I can take you to meet him.
10:12Now you're hiring actors to play your husband?
10:14This whole floor is VIP.
10:16Everyone here is rich or powerful.
10:17You? Not young enough, not pretty enough?
10:19Who here would want you besides me?
10:20So that's how he sees me.
10:22I don't need you to want me.
10:23Jade, why are you so stubborn?
10:25You came all the way to the hospital
10:27just to see me, didn't you?
10:28Would it kill you to say you regret it?
10:30I couldn't help but laugh again.
10:32Does he not understand plain English?
10:33Bennett, remember what you said when we broke up?
10:35You said even if I crawled back begging
10:36you wouldn't look at me.
10:37Where's your pride now?
10:38You have a fiancé. Be good to her.
10:40Just then, urgent knocking.
10:41Ben, are you awake?
10:43Why is the door locked?
10:44Who's in there with you?
10:45It was Lily.
10:46Bennett heard her.
10:47Snapped back to reality.
10:48Finally let me go.
10:49I fixed my clothes and opened the door.
10:51Lily's eyes met mine, surprised.
10:53Jade?
10:54What are you doing here?
10:55My husband's in the hospital too.
10:57Heard Mr. Hayes was sick,
10:58so I stopped by to say hi.
10:59A hint of suspicion in her eyes.
11:00What a coincidence.
11:02Lily glanced between us.
11:04Ben?
11:05That true?
11:05Bennett smirked coldly.
11:07She says so, so it must be true.
11:09He pulled Lily into his arms.
11:11Started showing off right in front of me.
11:13Sorry I messed up the wedding yesterday.
11:15I'll make it up to you.
11:16An even bigger one, just like someone wanted.
11:19He tapped on his phone.
11:20Lily's eyes went wide.
11:2230 grand?
11:23Why are you sending me so much money all of a sudden?
11:2530 grand.
11:26Pocket change.
11:27Long as it makes you happy.
11:28She was instantly charmed.
11:30I moved on long ago, but hearing that number, my chest is still stung.
11:3430 grand.
11:35The money that could have saved my mom.
11:37To him?
11:37Just pocket change he threw around.
11:39He just never wanted to give it to me.
11:41When Bennett's gaze casually drifted toward me, I was already gone.
11:44Back in Xavier's hospital room, his dad was gone.
11:47Xavier noticed I was upset.
11:49What's wrong?
11:50I wasn't gonna hide it.
11:52I ran into Bennett.
11:53I told him everything that happened the past two days.
11:56I swear, my heart belongs only to my husband Xavier.
12:01No one else.
12:03Then I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him a couple of kisses to smooth things
12:07over.
12:08Compared to Bennett, I appreciated Xavier so much more.
12:12The bathroom door opened.
12:13We got caught again.
12:14Xavier's dad cleared his throat and turned away.
12:17Jade, come home with me.
12:18This kid's not badly hurt.
12:20He'll be just tomorrow.
12:21I'll have someone watch him.
12:22Don't worry.
12:23Xavier nodded, then leaned in and whispered,
12:26Every stray cat is trying to mess with my girl.
12:28I gotta keep you hidden better.
12:29I laughed.
12:30I left the hospital with Xavier's dad and got in the car.
12:34Out of the corner of my eye, I thought I saw someone following.
12:38But when I turned, nothing.
12:40Figured I was imagining things.
12:42But it was Bob.
12:44He'd already snapped a photo of me and Xavier's dad and sent it to Xavier.
12:49Still not over it?
12:50The gold digger already found her next sugar daddy.
12:53And you're still standing there like an idiot.
12:56Inside the car, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
12:58Seeing you two so happy together now puts my mind at ease.
13:03Back when Xavier said he wanted to marry you, I wasn't exactly on board.
13:06A 30-year-old falling in love for the first time and eloping, his mom and I were shocked.
13:13Honestly, shocked me too.
13:14I had a private investigator look into you.
13:17Parents divorced, raised by your mom.
13:20I knew you agreed to marry Xavier for her surgery money.
13:23I wasn't thrilled.
13:24But Xavier's mom liked you.
13:26Said your paintings had soul.
13:28That you were a good kid with a pure heart.
13:30Good thing we didn't choose wrong.
13:32I felt the same.
13:33So grateful I chose Xavier.
13:35That I didn't marry the wrong man.
13:37Then he added,
13:38You two are working so hard on the baby making.
13:41I should have a little grandmother soon, right?
13:43Our family's full of boys.
13:45Time for a little princess.
13:47I smiled awkwardly.
13:48I forwarded the message to Xavier.
13:50Still in his hospital bed.
13:51Still got it in you?
13:52Wait till my back heals.
13:53I'll make sure you're satisfied.
13:55Back home.
13:56The big villa felt a little empty.
13:58Xavier was in the hospital.
13:59My mom and aunt were off on their RV trip.
14:01Just me and the housekeeper.
14:03I opened TikTok and scrolled through my mom's page.
14:05Ever since she came back from the brink.
14:07And saw me married.
14:08I'm so excited to be here.
14:09She just let go.
14:10Life's too short.
14:11She and my aunt bought a used RV.
14:13And hit the road together.
14:14Seeing my mom find her strength again.
14:16Made me happy.
14:17But watching her in that wheelchair.
14:18I still felt a pang of regret.
14:20I never blamed anyone.
14:21I just hated that back then.
14:23I wasn't strong enough.
14:24But it's all in the past now.
14:26I have Xavier.
14:27I have my art.
14:28The career I love.
14:29The next day.
14:30I picked up Xavier from the hospital.
14:31Then rushed him to handle family business.
14:33Got him settled.
14:34Then headed back to the gallery.
14:35Had a client appointment.
14:37Didn't expect Bennett to be the one waiting.
14:39This guy just wouldn't quit.
14:40Good thing I brought my ring today.
14:42Slipped it on fast.
14:43The last few days taught me.
14:44Always be prepared.
14:46Bennett's eyes landed on that big diamond on my finger.
14:48Looked me up and down again.
14:50Looks like you've been living well this past year.
14:53Designer clothes.
14:54Designer shoes.
14:55Guess you really did find yourself a sugar daddy.
14:58He's rich.
14:58And he treats me right.
15:00You've got your answer.
15:01Now leave.
15:02Cause trouble again and I'm calling security.
15:04Bennett said.
15:05Relax.
15:06I already checked.
15:07You don't own this gallery.
15:09It's Vane family property.
15:10I didn't argue.
15:11It did belong to my husband's family.
15:13Hayes and Vane go way back.
15:15I'm not about to make a scene on their turf.
15:17But I've been with the Vane family for a year.
15:19Never heard anyone mention Hayes.
15:21Sure, Hayes was known in some circles.
15:23But going up against a top tier family like Vane?
15:25Not even close.
15:26He was just name dropping.
15:28If you want to suck up to the Vans, this isn't the place.
15:30Bennett grabbed my arm.
15:31Hard.
15:32Jade.
15:33I never thought you'd sink this low.
15:35You'd rather cling to some old man old enough to be your father than just apologize to me?
15:39But five years older is not old enough to be your father.
15:43Bennett looked me over like I was a total stranger.
15:45Lily playfully scolded him.
15:47Stop being weird.
15:48She's my friend.
15:50Bennett reached out and took her hand from mine.
15:53Careful with that bracelet.
15:54It's the one I gave you.
15:55Cost over two million.
15:57Wouldn't want some gold digger to get any ideas.
15:59I knew he was throwing shade at me.
16:01Two million.
16:02So Bennett could drop serious cash on a girlfriend after all.
16:05I glanced down at my own list.
16:06There used to be a bracelet there too.
16:0820 bucks.
16:09From Bennett.
16:09He got it back when we were at our poorest.
16:11Said he made the money dressing up as a mascot.
16:13That summer day.
16:14Over a hundred degrees.
16:16He came back dripping sweat.
16:17I had no idea back then he'd just come from the gym.
16:20I just felt bad for him.
16:21I stayed up all night drawing.
16:23Used the money to buy him a $500 watch for his birthday.
16:26Now I looked at his wrist.
16:27That watch was long gone.
16:29Replaced with a Patek Philippe.
16:31This was the real him.
16:32I smirked.
16:33Lily's so lucky.
16:34Her husband's so generous.
16:37Not like my ex.
16:39Mooching off me.
16:41Crashing at my place.
16:42Buying me $20 bracelets while I spend every penny on him.
16:46Bennett's face went stiff.
16:47Lily jumped in.
16:48What a jerk.
16:50Good thing you left him.
16:51Bennett cleared his throat.
16:54Maybe some people only deserve 20 bucks.
16:56Unlike my Lily.
16:58She's worth every penny.
16:59So in his eyes.
17:01I just wasn't worth it.
17:02Looking at fake Bennett.
17:03I couldn't help but laugh.
17:05You two are so sweet.
17:07Makes me jealous.
17:09Congrats.
17:10Hope you grow old together.
17:11I made an excuse to leave.
17:12But Bennett got anxious.
17:14Mrs. Jade leaving so soon?
17:16What?
17:16Is the wedding not fancy enough for you?
17:18I caught sarcasm in his voice.
17:20I curled my lips and shot back one word.
17:23Exactly.
17:24My wedding to Xavier was on an island he had just bought.
17:27Just close friends and family.
17:28Xavier Vane.
17:29Head of Italy's most powerful crime family.
17:32Handsome.
17:32Devoted.
17:33Chased me for years.
17:34And most importantly, he never lied to me.
17:37The wedding he gave me was low-key but gorgeous.
17:39Exactly what I wanted.
17:40I didn't want some wedding Bennett planned for another woman.
17:43I turned down the bride's pleas to stay and left anyway.
17:46Behind me, I heard her scold him.
17:48Ben, what's wrong with you today?
17:49Why are you acting so weird?
17:51She came all the way to congratulate us.
17:53That was so rude.
17:54One of the groomsmen suddenly spoke up.
17:56Jade.
17:58That name sounds familiar, isn't she?
18:00Shut up.
18:01Bennett cut him off.
18:02Angry.
18:02I walked out of the estate and waited by the gate for my driver.
18:05Wind blew.
18:06Sand got in my eye.
18:08I rubbed it.
18:09Fast footsteps behind me.
18:10Don't get the wrong idea.
18:11Lily made me come out here to apologize.
18:13Don't you have anything to ask me?
18:15I shook my head.
18:16Nope.
18:17Bennett scoffed.
18:18Saw my teary eye.
18:19Jade.
18:19Stop pretending.
18:21You're rushing off because you don't want me to see you like this, right?
18:24You dumped me because I was broke.
18:27Now you see I'm loaded.
18:28You're definitely regretting it.
18:30Regret it?
18:30Yeah, I do.
18:31I regret not dumping him sooner and taking Xavier up on his offer.
18:35Then I could have gotten my mom the surgery in time.
18:38She wouldn't have lasting damage.
18:39Wouldn't be stuck in a wheelchair now.
18:43What the hell is wrong with you, Bennett?
18:45It's not like you're young either.
18:47Bennett was fuming.
18:48This isn't about age.
18:50You're this guy's mistress now?
18:52That's how low you'll go?
18:54Mr. Vane pretends to be a gentleman.
18:56But look what he's really doing.
18:58Mistress?
18:59What are you even talking about?
19:01With your background, you really think Mr. Vane would leave his wife for you?
19:05You're nothing but a side piece.
19:07Nothing more.
19:08I slapped him right across the face.
19:10Watch your mouth.
19:11Bennett's eyes went red.
19:12He pinned me against the wall.
19:14My shoulder slammed into a piece of the wall.
19:17You're going to be someone's mistress either way.
19:20Might as well be mine.
19:22I'm young.
19:24I've got money.
19:26Girls like you?
19:27Gold diggers.
19:28I've seen a thousand of them.
19:29They're no different.
19:30He leaned in, trying to force a kiss.
19:32I turned my head away.
19:34Bennett, have you lost your mind?
19:36We're both married!
19:38Bennett laughed.
19:41You're still bothered by Lily, aren't you?
19:42She's just a stand-in for you anyway.
19:44She looked a little like you, so I played around.
19:46I knew you worked at this gallery.
19:48I had Lily lure you to my wedding on purpose.
19:50I wanted to see you regret walking away.
19:53I didn't think you'd fall this far in just one year.
19:56If you'd known better, none of this would have happened.
19:58But I don't care.
20:00Come back to me.
20:01I'll break things off with Lily.
20:02Whatever you want.
20:03Just say the word.
20:04I didn't even get the chance to slap him again.
20:07The door swung open.
20:08Lily stood there.
20:09Tears streaming down her face.
20:10She grabbed her purse and started hitting Bennett with it.
20:13Bennett, you bastard!
20:15I knew something was going on with you two!
20:17How could you do this to me?
20:20You heard everything.
20:21Nothing left to say.
20:22I'm not breaking up with you!
20:24I caught my breath.
20:25Called security.
20:26Had them both thrown out.
20:28Before he left, Bennett turned back.
20:29I'll take care of it.
20:31I just wanted them both out of my life for good.
20:33After that scene at the gallery, I didn't dare go back.
20:36I painted during the day.
20:37Studied Xavier at night.
20:38Too bad I could only look, not touch.
20:40He sighed.
20:42Stop touching.
20:42Don't start something you can't finish.
20:44I let go.
20:45You want me to handle Bennett?
20:46No.
20:47He's a mad dog.
20:49The more you engage, the more he acts out.
20:51Didn't expect it, but I heard from Lily before Bennett.
20:54She texted me.
20:55Wanted to meet.
20:55I caved.
20:56Set up a meeting at a private club.
20:58First thing she did?
20:58Slap me across the face.
21:00Liar!
21:00You knew all along I was just Bennett's stand-in, didn't you?
21:04You came to my wedding just to laugh at me!
21:07I was about to hit her back when she dropped to her knees.
21:10Miss Janine, you've already got yourself a rich man.
21:14Just let me have Ben.
21:15You owe me this much.
21:18Take it up with your fiancé.
21:20Not me.
21:21I don't owe you anything.
21:22I turned and walked out.
21:24Lily scrambled to her feet, got too worked up, and passed out.
21:27I took her to the hospital.
21:29Bennett showed up right after I left.
21:31Didn't want to run into him anyway.
21:32Lily was pregnant.
21:34Good news, for me.
21:35Maybe Bennett would do the right thing now.
21:37Marry her.
21:37Leave me alone.
21:38He was never husband material anyway.
21:40But they deserved each other.
21:41But I didn't expect what came next.
21:44Get rid of it.
21:46Later, Lily sent me a voice message.
21:48Crying so hard, I could barely understand her.
21:51She apologized for slapping me.
21:53Then, nothing.
21:55No way.
21:56We only broke up a year ago.
21:58I couldn't help but laugh.
21:59Why not?
22:00You're getting married today, too, aren't you?
22:02Then it hit him.
22:03He smirked.
22:05That's different, Jade.
22:06Don't tell me you're jealous.
22:08Making up some fake husband to see if I still care?
22:12You're not the first girl to try that on me.
22:14He glanced at my bare ring finger.
22:16When you're this speechless, you just want to laugh.
22:20Bennett, I'm not joking.
22:22I'm really married.
22:23His voice got even more sure of himself.
22:26What, story falling apart already?
22:28My driver's here.
22:29The car pulled up.
22:29I didn't say another word.
22:31Got in and left.
22:33But in Bennett's eyes, I was running away.
22:36The second I was gone, his groomsman, Gu Soon, showed up.
22:39Still standing here playing the lovesick fool?
22:42She's long gone.
22:43If I remember right, Jade's the gold digger who dumped you.
22:47Wild how much she looks like Lily.
22:49Bennett stayed quiet.
22:50Wait, you're not still hung up on that girl, are you?
22:53What about Lily?
22:54The ceremony's about to start.
22:55She's waiting.
22:57Bennett cut him off.
22:58Relax.
22:59I'm not that pathetic.
23:01The wedding's happening.
23:02Xavier agreed so fast.
23:04I didn't see that coming.
23:05One guy spent three years playing poor.
23:08The other took three seconds and gave me the answer I needed.
23:11I packed my bags and broke up with Bennett.
23:14He looked crushed.
23:15Just for money?
23:16Yeah, for money.
23:18Right then, I really fell in love with money.
23:21No more struggling to get by.
23:22Xavier supports my painting.
23:24He actually means it when he praises me.
23:26Later, I found out what the name Xavier Vane really meant in Italy.
23:31I'd seen his gentle side.
23:33The way he held me.
23:34The way he talked about art.
23:35Back home, I'd already forgotten the awkwardness from earlier.
23:39I pulled out the lace camisole I'd prepped.
23:41Ready to surprise Xavier.
23:43An old box fell out, hit the floor, out dropped that $200 bracelet.
23:48I'd tossed it in a drawer after breaking up and forgot to throw it away.
23:52I picked it up.
23:53Mixed feelings rushed back.
23:55Just as I was about to trash it, the door swung open.
23:58A tall figure lunged at me.
24:00You're half an hour early.
24:02On purpose.
24:04Wanted to surprise you.
24:05Xavier leaned in to kiss me, then stopped.
24:07His eyes landed on the bracelet in my hand.
24:09He pulled back.
24:10His smile turned a little stiff.
24:14Pretty bracelet.
24:15The sudden chill, and the compliment, threw me off.
24:17I tossed it in the trash.
24:19Why'd you throw it?
24:20Bennett gave you that, didn't he?
24:23It's ugly.
24:24I waved the bracelet he'd given me.
24:25Don't want it.
24:26Never liked it anyway.
24:27Yours are way prettier.
24:30Hey, it's fine.
24:31I'm not that jealous.
24:33He said that, but the smile in his eyes was impossible to miss.
24:36I stood on my toes and kissed him.
24:39Soft.
24:40Really nice.
24:42First time I'd ever made the first move.
24:45Xavier's reaction was intense.
24:47One thing led to another, and he was carrying me to the bed.
24:50Right when things got heated, I stopped him.
24:52Still had one step left to prep.
24:54Pushed him toward the bathroom.
24:56When he came out, I'd already changed into the black lace camisole.
25:00Hair down.
25:01Lying in bed.
25:02Curled my finger at him.
25:04I'm not that jealous.
25:04I'm not that jealous.
25:04I'm not that jealous.
25:04I'm not that jealous.
25:04Gracias por ver el video.
