08:47He burnt my future.
08:48He still looked full of love, but I couldn't feel it.
08:51Something in it was contaminated now.
08:53No sweetness could filter it out.
08:55Where were you today?
08:56I caught a flicker of guilt.
08:58Work.
08:58Something urgent came up.
08:59I handled it.
09:00When I went back you were gone.
09:02The lie landed like dust.
09:03Baby, let's go riding tomorrow.
09:05There's a ranch up north.
09:06You've always wanted to, right?
09:07Doctor said you need sunlight.
09:09You'll feel better.
09:10He didn't ask if I wanted to.
09:12He never really did.
09:13I just let it pass.
09:14I was done fighting a man who could lie with a straight face and still call it love.
09:18I only needed to hold out.
09:20The next day he drove me out and Raina was there.
09:23Seeing her in person was different, she looked polished, expensive.
09:27Standing near Beckett she made sense.
09:29He wrapped an arm around my waist.
09:31''Sage, come on, I'll teach you.''
09:32He picked out a gentle horse.
09:34He helped me up guiding me for half an hour I almost forgot I'm tired.
09:38Beckett stopped immediately.
09:40I saw Raina walk away.
09:41''Stay here, baby, I'm going to grab you water.''

10:43رينا رانسم's horse hit mine and my horse instantly got spooked
10:46before the horse dragged me I let go of the reins
10:49fell to the ground covered in dirt
10:51shoulder and hip ached but none of that mattered
10:53because رينا رانسم had also fallen
10:56and Beckett Northcott already held her in his arms
10:58so fast so instinctive his body knew who to choose
11:01Beckett Northcott's gaze finally found me
11:04the baby
11:05Beckett Northcott froze
11:06I watched him make his decision
11:08watched him embrace رينا رانسم
11:09Sage she's pregnant she can't take a fall like that
11:13let me take her to the hospital first okay
11:14something bitter rose in my throat
11:16mmm
11:17he immediately picked up رينا رانسم and hurried away
11:20I sat alone in the dirt my hands trembling
11:22ma'am are you hurt anywhere
11:24I'm fine thank you
11:26the pain in my chest seemed permanent
11:27I limped towards the parking lot
11:29the car was gone
11:31I called a rideshare and went home alone
11:33I didn't wait for Beckett Northcott
11:35exhaustion quickly put me to sleep
11:36the next day I woke up to Beckett Northcott sitting by the bed
11:40he saw the coldness in my eyes and his smile froze
11:42he took out the box from the nightstand and retrieved a bracelet
11:46he carefully placed it on my wrist and kissed my hand
11:49sorry wifey I shouldn't have rushed رينا رانسم first
11:51I should have checked you right away
11:53but she's pregnant and she's carrying my friend's baby
11:55I had to make sure she was okay you get that right
11:58I lowered my head and let out a faint laugh
12:00not worth it
12:01what what did you say what's not worth it
12:03baby don't talk like that you're the most worth it person
12:06you deserve everything the whole world's good stuff
12:09I saw something on tv yesterday a couple
12:11the guy thought they were together
12:13but the girl got engaged
12:15everyone argued if he should forgive her
12:17what do you think
12:18he shouldn't forgive her not a chance
12:20I agree he shouldn't
12:21I'm hungry
12:22then I'll cook go wash up wifey
12:25I'll call you when it's ready
12:26he hurried downstairs as if the problem was solved
12:29I watched his retreating back
12:31then slid off the bracelet and put it down
12:33I would no longer let him pretend to sacrifice for me
12:36my birthday was two days later
12:38Beckett Northcott celebrated early
12:40no I told you I'll celebrate with you every year
12:42we're doing it
12:43I smiled faintly to myself
12:45all right let this be the last time
12:47he brought out the cake lit the candles and sang for me
12:50I closed my eyes and silently made a wish
12:52please let me start anew and live with dignity
12:55what did you wish for
12:56I calmly cut the cake
12:57in my heart I answered him
12:59leave you
13:00by the time Beckett Northcott came back
13:02there wouldn't be anything left of us
13:04he wasn't home that night
13:05I moved through the rooms without turning on extra lights
13:08packing only what was actually mine
13:10then I dug out the photos we'd taken
13:12I struck a match
13:13I fed the fire one photo at a time
13:15and watched our memories collapse into ash
13:17because whatever those pictures used to mean was already dead
13:20I didn't take a single gift Beckett Northcott had ever given me
13:24if it wasn't mine
13:25I didn't touch it
13:26and once Beckett Northcott stopped belonging to me
13:29I stopped reaching for him too
13:30after I cleaned up I went out and bought a new sim card
13:33when I left I wasn't taking my old number
13:35I didn't have anyone I needed to call anymore
13:38and I didn't want anyone calling me
13:40later I sat in the garden with my phone in hand
13:42I wasn't even paying attention until a live stream popped up
13:45Raina
13:46she stood under bright studio lights in a wedding dress
13:49glowing like she'd already won
13:50and from just off camera
13:52a man's arm wrapped around her waist
13:53possessive, intimate
13:54holding her like she belonged to him
13:56the groom doesn't want to show his face
13:59so how did you two get together?
14:01our families matched us
14:03it was an arrangement
14:04an arrangement?
14:06you two look way too sweet for that
14:08just because it started as an arrangement
14:10doesn't mean it can't turn into real love
14:12you're right, you're right
14:14okay, when's the wedding?
14:17four days
14:17it'll be the biggest wedding the city's seen
14:19you'll all see
14:20I stared at that half profile
14:22at that one eye full of love
14:23and my chest tightened
14:24like a fist had closed around my heart
14:27the sunlight on my skin should have felt warm
14:29every blessing in the chat landed on me like a blade
14:32I let out a dry little laugh I didn't recognize
14:34no title
14:35no name
14:36no place
14:37just the woman kept out of sight
14:38that night
14:39Beckett Northcutt came home carrying a box
14:41inside was a dress
14:43I didn't even have to think
14:44it was the kind of pale pretty dress you put bridesmaids in
14:48what is this?
14:49you want me standing beside you at your wedding?
14:52come on
14:52that's a bridesmaid dress
14:54what oh baby no I'm sorry wifey
14:56why would you ever be a bridesmaid?
14:58my bride can only be you
14:59he always talked like that
15:01beautiful sentences that sounded like love
15:03I stayed quiet in his arms and finished the thought in my head
15:06of course Raina would be your bride
15:08Beckett Northcutt stayed home with me constantly
15:10Raina I'm handling it
15:12I gotta keep her calm alright
15:13if she acts up on the wedding day it'll blow up
15:16just listen to me and behave
15:17I'll come to you when I can
15:18I didn't react
15:20I just let the corner of my mouth lift
15:22silent and cold
15:23so that was it
15:24he wasn't spending time with me
15:25he was managing me
15:27keeping me quiet
15:28they really thought I'd fight for him
15:30they didn't know me at all
15:32the night before the wedding
15:33Beckett Northcutt held me
15:35Sage tomorrow you're gonna stay home okay
15:37be good don't go anywhere
15:39tonight I'll come back with a surprise for you
15:40okay I didn't argue
15:42I didn't smile
15:43the next morning he got up early
15:44before he left he kissed my forehead like a blessing
15:47when the engine sound faded down the street
15:49I opened my eyes
15:50I didn't get out of bed
15:52I stayed on my side
15:53when I reached for my phone
15:55nothing loaded
15:55no signal
15:56no data
15:57I went downstairs
15:58picked up the remote
15:59turned on the TV
16:00no service
16:01that's when the housekeeper came over
16:03ma'am the neighborhood internet
16:05is being repaired
16:07might be out all day
16:09that's fine
16:10I'll go out for a bit then
16:11uh
16:12sir
16:13told me
16:14he said
16:15you should stay home
16:16and wait for him
16:17my eyes sparkled
16:18with a stronger resolve
16:19my escape plan entering its final stage
16:21I looked past her
16:23through the window
16:23and saw two men in black
16:25they stood too still
16:26watching too closely
16:27not for the house
16:28for me
16:29so this was Beckett's solution
16:31he'd lock the door
16:32and call it protection
16:33you can't hide the truth forever
16:35he just wanted to control
16:37when it reached me
16:38okay
16:38I'm gonna rest upstairs
16:40don't worry about me
16:41back in the bedroom
16:42I packed the last few things
16:43that were actually mine
16:44I laid the ring and bracelet inside
16:46like returned property
16:47then I slid in a note
16:49congratulations on your wedding
16:51then I tore the bedsheets into strips
16:53knotted them together
16:54and tossed the rope out the second floor window
16:56Beckett could cage a lot of things
16:58he couldn't cage me
17:00I climbed down
17:01slipped off the property
17:02like I'd never belonged there
17:03then I popped out my old sim card
17:05and flicked it into a flower bed
17:06the new one clicked into place
17:08and it felt like cutting a wire inside my chest
17:10I went straight to the agency
17:12and picked up the new ID they'd prepared
17:14a plane ticket sat in it
17:15printed under a name
17:17that wasn't mine anymore
17:18I walked outside
17:19lifted my hand to hail a ride
17:20someone nearby gasped
17:22oh my god
17:23that's so romantic
17:24across the street
17:25a giant outdoor screen
17:26was streaming a wedding live
17:27Beckett's wedding
17:28Raina stood in white
17:30and Beckett stood beside her
17:31hand resting on her waist
17:33they looked made for each other
17:34if you didn't know the truth
17:36people around me smiled
17:37and sighed like they were
17:38watching a love story
17:39Beckett had taken off
17:41the ring he used to wear
17:42the pale line was erased
17:43as the officiant spoke
17:45the crowd held its breath
17:47then came the kiss
17:48I lowered my aching neck
17:50and tugged my baseball cap down
17:51hiding my eyes
17:52I wiped the single tear
17:53that slipped out
17:54then turned and walked to the curb
17:56I flagged a cab
17:57and gave the airport address
17:58at the terminal
17:59I sat in the waiting area
18:01checking the time
18:02then a breaking entertainment alert
18:04popped up on my phone
18:05my name was right there
18:06wedged between photos
18:07of the newlyweds like a stain
18:09the post called me a mistress
18:10said I'd sabotaged
18:12their perfect love story
18:13nearby voices rose
18:14loud and disgusted
18:15what a trashy homewrecker
18:17the words hit my skin
18:18like heat
18:19they didn't recognize me
18:20I didn't defend myself
18:22I kept walking
18:22toward the gate
18:23wait
18:24why's the groom
18:25leaving the ballroom
18:25he just ditched the bride
18:27I didn't slow down
18:28I kept walking
18:29toward the new life
18:30when the plane lifted off
18:31the city shrank
18:32under the clouds
18:33for the first time
18:34in weeks
18:34my lungs took in air
18:35that didn't feel borrowed
18:37then my phone
18:38vibrated in my palm
18:39a message had come through
18:40it's a video
18:41without captions or warning
18:42just a file name
18:44stamped with a date
18:441230
18:45my thumb hovered over it
18:47and something inside me
18:48went ice cold
18:49I knew what that date meant
18:50Beckett always had a way
18:52of reaching for control
18:53Beckett and Raina
18:54had just walked off the stage
18:55a perfect couple
18:56ready to toast
18:57even on his wedding day
18:58he couldn't stop
18:59managing risks
19:00just then he saw the post
19:02and his face turned ashen
19:03he called me immediately
19:04but my phone was off
19:06Beckett darling
19:07it's time for our toast
19:08he shook off Raina's arm
19:10and headed straight
19:10for the exit
19:11Beckett
19:12where do you think
19:12you're going
19:13you're humiliating Raina
19:15and our entire family
19:17he didn't hear her words
19:19only one thought
19:20in his mind
19:20she saw it
19:21she knew it
19:22he still walked out
19:23and got into the car
19:24he told the driver
19:25to drive straight home
19:26before the car even stopped
19:28he jumped out
19:28he didn't even slow down
19:30rushing inside
19:31he burst into the living room
19:32scanning it
19:33where is Sage
19:34Madam She
19:36she's resting upstairs
19:37he didn't wait for the housekeeper
19:39and rushed upstairs
19:40he burst into the bedroom
19:42the bed was empty
19:42his gaze went straight to the window
19:44rage burned in him
19:46easier to face than fear
19:47I told you to watch her
19:49and you couldn't keep one person
19:50what am I paying you for
19:51go find her now
19:52he gasped for air
19:53panic spreading
19:54he couldn't stop imagining
19:56what I might have seen
19:57this was why he cut the internet
19:59TV
19:59and stationed guards at the door
20:01he thought he could hide it
20:02one more day
20:03but I still escaped
20:04his gaze swept the room again
20:05landing on a gift box
20:07he walked slowly
20:08as if anticipating pain
20:09his hand trembled
20:10as he opened the box
20:11congratulations on your marriage
20:13beneath the paper
20:14were the ring and bracelet
20:15he gave me
20:16returned as if I were a stranger
20:18in that moment
20:19everything rearranged
20:20in his mind
20:21I looked at the dress
20:22stopped arguing
20:22became quiet
20:23that wasn't submission
20:25but resignation
20:26I wasn't suspicious
20:27I knew
20:27Beckett agonizingly replayed
20:29the last two weeks
20:30until a scene from one night
20:31flashed clearly
20:32that night
20:33he called me to pick him up
20:34he thought I was just
20:36throwing a tantrum
20:36punishing him
20:37playing hard to get
20:39he always liked to interpret
20:40my silence this way
20:41now
20:42a different question
20:43arose in his mind
20:44was I there all along
20:45his blood ran cold
20:46his fingers numb
20:47send me the quarter of surveillance
20:49outside the private room
20:50on December 23rd
20:51a minute later
20:52the video arrived
20:53I stood outside the door
20:55sounds from inside
20:56the private room
20:57came through the recording
20:58when the words
20:59not worth it were uttered
21:00I flinched
21:01I didn't rush in
21:02didn't cry
21:02didn't beg
21:03I just stood there
21:04silently enduring
21:05a dull ache spread
21:07across Beckett's chest
21:08damn it
21:09he slapped himself
21:10twice hard
21:10as if pain could reboot
21:12his brain
21:12as if punishment
21:13could rewrite time
21:14he finally saw through
21:15all the excuses
21:16and promises
21:17those lies that
21:18bound me like reins
21:19and I
21:20all along
21:21was watching his performance
21:22he remembered the ring
21:23from the hospital
21:24maybe I didn't lose it
21:26but threw it away
21:26the pain in his chest
21:28grew sharper
21:28he tore the room apart
21:30searching for any trace of me
21:31nothing
21:32none of my personal belongings
21:34as if I had erased myself
21:36I only left that message
21:37and the abandoned ring
21:38cold and resolute
21:39lying in his palm
21:40Beckett finally understood the truth
21:42I'm not coming back
21:44his phone vibrated
21:45he snatched up the phone
21:46thinking they had found me
21:47it was a futile hope
21:49Mr. Northcott
21:50we've traced the madam's
21:51sim card location
21:52it's still nearby
21:53send me the location
21:54he arrived in less than five minutes
21:56no one
21:57no movement
21:58just the sim card
21:59buried in the grass
22:00another dead end
22:01he returned home
22:02as if walking underwater
22:04collapsing onto the sofa
22:05I have no friends here
22:07Beckett darling
22:08my stomach hurts
22:09will you come and be with me
22:10your stomach hurts
22:11I hope it hurts enough
22:12to kill you
22:13the phone immediately rang again
22:14relentless like a threat
22:16he knew it was his mother
22:17calling to reprimand him
22:19Beckett
22:19how much disgrace
22:20have you brought upon the family
22:22the Ransom family is furious
22:25come back and apologize immediately
22:27if they're unhappy
22:28let them deal with it themselves
22:29do you want me to list
22:30how many benefits
22:31their family has gained from this
22:33when he lowered his head
22:34he saw the ring on his finger
22:36he froze
22:37then tore off the ring
22:38as if burned
22:38and threw it away
22:39he ran upstairs
22:40his hands trembling
22:41as he took out the ring
22:42he put it on
22:43like a drowning man
22:44grasping a straw
22:45feeling a little more stable
22:46then his gaze caught another ring
22:48it was mine
22:49and his chest filled
22:50with intense pain
22:51he was sincere about
22:52every promise he made to me
22:54so when did he change
22:55between board meetings
22:56and family pressure
22:57he told himself
22:58the engagement was just business
23:00even the child
23:01he told himself
23:02was just for appearances
23:03a legitimate heir
23:04Beckett slid to the floor
23:06clutching his head
23:07then he remembered
23:07why he rushed home
23:08they called me a mistress
23:10tearing me apart
23:11he imagined me alone
23:12humiliated
23:13all because of him
23:14find out who spread
23:15the rumors today
23:16immediately
23:16yes sir
23:17Beckett stood up
23:18took a chain
23:19threaded my abandoned ring
23:20onto it
23:21and put it around his neck
23:22Mr. Northcott
23:23we found out
23:25it was Miss Ransom's doing
23:26she paid those bloggers
23:28it was her indeed
23:29she nodded obediently
23:30until she decided to strike
23:32Beckett immediately called Raina
23:34Beckett darling
23:35your little baby misses you
23:36I told you
23:37don't involve sage
23:38do you really want to die
23:40Beckett's cold voice
23:41made Raina's body stiffen
23:42he knows
23:43he knows everything
23:44Beckett
23:45what are you talking about
23:46I don't understand
23:47Beckett let out
23:48a short chilling laugh
23:49of mockery
23:50you don't understand
23:51do you want me to print out
23:52your transfer records
23:53and slap them in your face
23:54everything sage suffered
23:56I will demand back
23:57one by one
23:57then he hung up the phone
23:59she knew how Beckett dealt
24:00with those who stood in his way
24:01oh the child
24:03she was carrying a Northcott air
24:05mom

24:07he wants to hit me
24:09make me abort
24:09and take your grandson
24:10Raina's helpless cries
24:12instantly ignited
24:13Mrs. Northcott's fury

24:18not even his father

27:31Beckett insisted on

27:34didn't faze him at all
27:35the press conference

27:46maybe she'll accept
27:47she won't
27:48because he knew
27:49I wouldn't want anything
27:50the next day
27:52Beckett held a press conference
27:53everything online is false
27:54sage and I were together since college
27:56Reyna was never my girlfriend
27:58she was just an arranged marriage
28:00I deceived sage
28:01I betrayed her
28:02I will spend my life making amends
28:04family honor
28:05or your ridiculous pride
28:06I admit I did those things
28:08sage I apologize to you
28:09public opinion reversed
28:11stock prices plummeted
28:12after the press conference
28:13his father summoned Beckett home
28:15look what you've done
28:16if you'd listened
28:17this would have blown over
28:19now the stock price bleeds daily
28:21I won't let the woman I love
28:23bear the mistress label for life
28:24oh now she's the woman you love
28:27where was love when you agreed to marry
28:28she deserved to leave you
28:30you personally caused this disaster
28:32you're not clear headed
28:33she's gone
28:34what you're doing now only makes it worse
28:36I don't care
28:37I only care about sage
28:38I will compensate for the company's loss
28:40I won't give up on her
28:42I'll bring her back
28:43he returned to the villa
28:44he shared with sage
28:45her scent
28:46her belongings
28:47all gone
28:47as if she never existed
28:49he once hated cooking
28:50that night
28:51he cooked
28:52he set a bowl for me
28:53as if I'd return
28:54sage eat all your favorites
28:56tears mixed with food
28:57he swallowed regret
28:58that night
28:59he lay on his side beside me
29:01drifting into sleep
29:02with tangled thoughts
29:03I'm smiling
29:04my lips moving
29:05he can hear no sound

29:11I'm sorry sage
29:12I was wrong

29:13please see me
29:14I can't take this
29:15he clutched her pillow
29:16exhausted
29:17fell asleep
29:18six months passed
29:19I was gone
29:20without a word
29:21he used all resources to search
29:23found nothing
29:24he worked day and night
29:25to fix the scandal
29:26he never came home late
29:28because I dread the dark
29:29he drank every night
29:30exhausted
29:31sent endless apologies

29:42I'll fix everything
29:42they thought he was over me
29:44I'd long since been woven
29:45into his soul
29:46during a key meeting
29:47his phone rang
29:48sir

29:59you go say I'm sick
30:01dying I don't care
30:01he rushed to the airport
30:03vowing to find me
30:04a new chase is about to begin
30:05I left Los Angeles
30:07and came to Hawaii
30:08people call this
30:09the land of eternal summer
30:10the air here is warm
30:11not many people
30:12I needed this peace
30:14after settling down
30:15I opened a seaside hotel
30:17the hotel became popular
30:18booked weeks in advance
30:19I threw myself into work
30:21almost forgetting Beckett
30:22until one day
30:23I saw a familiar figure
30:25his gaze cut through the crowd
30:26as if I was his only focus
30:28he stood there frozen
30:29as if he stopped breathing
30:30I only glanced
30:32then turned back to my work
30:33he waited outside
30:34until evening
30:35motionless
30:35I knew I couldn't hide forever
30:37when the crowd dispersed
30:39I walked out to him
30:40follow me
30:41Beckett's eyes lit up
30:42like fireworks
30:43why are you here
30:44Sage I'm so sorry
30:45I was wrong
30:46I broke off the engagement
30:47cleared the rumors
30:48I'm sorry
30:49I watched him confess
30:50feeling no satisfaction
30:51he stood like a man
30:53before a judge
30:53awaiting sentence
30:54none of this concerns me anymore
30:56don't look for me again
30:57he completely broke down
30:59grief overwhelming him
31:00Sage I truly know
31:01I was wrong
31:02please forgive me
31:03I love you
31:03I swear
31:04I can't live without you
31:05enough
31:05no one is indispensable
31:07we're over
31:08go back to your arranged marriage
31:10leave me alone
31:11I didn't deny his love
31:12but I couldn't forget
31:13his betrayal
31:14Sage no
31:15I only want you
31:15let go
31:16Beckett painfully
31:17released his grip
31:18I walked away
31:19without looking back
31:20avoiding him
31:21like the plague
31:21that night
31:22Beckett wandered the streets
31:23he realized
31:24he had destroyed
31:25everything himself
31:26I'll get you back
31:27I swear
31:28the next day
31:28he came to check into the hotel
31:30I told you
31:31don't come looking for me again
31:32I'm here to stay
31:33this is a hotel right
31:34I couldn't kick him out
31:35so I emotionlessly checked him in
31:37for the next few days
31:38Beckett didn't directly bother me
31:40but I always felt a burning gaze
31:42he didn't leave
31:43acting like he lived here
31:44after my clear rejection
31:46why was he still pestering me
31:48one night I found no supplies
31:49the store was far
31:51but I refused a cab
31:52I decided to walk home
31:53on the way home
31:54things got bad
31:55three drunk men
31:56surrounded me
31:57hey beauty
31:58where are you going
31:59get lost
32:00my stomach tightened
32:01but my voice was firm
32:02they laughed
32:03closing in
32:04real panic hit me
32:05for the first time
32:06suddenly someone shouted
32:07Beckett took down
32:08one drunk
32:09the others rushed him
32:10but he was agile
32:11fending them off
32:12the drunk scattered
32:13Sage are you hurt
32:14did they touch you
32:15I shook my head
32:16pushing his hand away
32:18Beckett finally exhaled
32:19under the light
32:20I saw his bruise
32:26I rolled my eyes
32:27and walked away
32:28Beckett followed me
32:29into the hotel
32:30he grabbed my wrist
32:31stopping me
32:32I haven't eaten dinner
32:33I'm hungry
32:33his voice was low
32:34with a hint of grievance
32:36I looked at him
32:37as if he were crazy
32:38he stared at me
32:39unyielding
32:39I said nothing
32:40walking into the apartment
32:42Beckett's face lit up
32:43instantly
32:44he sat looking
32:45around the room
32:46I walked straight
32:47to the kitchen
32:47I let him in
32:48to end things
32:49send him back to LA
32:50no more chasing
32:51half an hour later
32:52I served noodles
32:53I placed it on the table
32:55for him
32:55Beckett understood
32:56immediately
32:57he devoured the noodles
32:58he chewed hoping
32:59I'd return
33:00but for me
33:01it was a farewell meal
33:02finish the noodles
33:03then go to LA
33:04staying here
33:05changes nothing
33:06his hand froze
33:07for a moment
33:07he pretended not to hear
33:09eating fast
33:10I frowned
33:11about to repeat myself
33:12the taste hasn't changed
33:14same as before
33:14he finished
33:15taking the dishes
33:16to the kitchen
33:16he washed them
33:18like an eager man
33:18he walked to the door
33:20hand on the knob
33:21I'm leaving
33:22thanks for the noodles
33:23what did this farewell meal signify
33:25after I closed the door
33:26Beckett only walked
33:27a few steps
33:28before he stopped
33:29he thought I'd accept
33:30his apology
33:31but I gave him
33:32a blow heavier than anger
33:33I told him straight
33:34there's no us anymore
33:35he couldn't accept it
33:37interrupting me
33:38repeatedly like a coward
33:39as if by talking
33:40fast enough
33:41he could erase
33:42my words about leaving
33:43he didn't go back
33:44to LA for the next few days
33:45I completely ignored him
33:47even for a moment
33:48thinking he finally understood
33:50as long as he didn't disturb
33:51my peace
33:52I didn't care where he went
33:53before I could fully relax
33:55Beckett reappeared
33:56this time
33:57he made sure everyone
33:58knew he was there
33:59it was valentine's day
34:00and the hotel was packed
34:01with couples
34:02people gasped
34:03rushing onto the sidewalk
34:04gazing at the night sky
34:05oh my god
34:06who is sage
34:07this is so romantic
34:08I stepped out of the hotel
34:10and then understood
34:11what they were saying
34:11the entire drone light show
34:13hovered above the beach
34:14every few seconds
34:15it changed
34:16showing hearts
34:17my name
34:18and declarations of love
34:19I turned around
34:20and Beckett's gaze
34:21caught mine
34:21he used to manipulate me
34:23with that look
34:23but now
34:24it had no effect on me
34:25he walked over
34:26with the flowers
34:27step by step
34:28slow and deliberate
34:29happy valentine's day sage
34:31I didn't even look
34:32at the flowers
34:32just at him
34:33hello
34:34I'm at the beach entrance
34:35there's an unauthorized
34:37drone show on the coastline
34:38can someone come stop it
34:39he looked at me
34:41as if all warmth
34:41was instantly drained
34:42from his chest
34:43in less than five minutes
34:45the drone started falling
34:46he flinched as if each fall
34:48struck his ribs
34:48I reached out
34:49and took the bouquet
34:50I lowered my head
34:51and smelled the flowers
34:52the scent was still strong
34:54I smiled softly
34:55then tossed the bouquet
34:56into the trash can
34:57the past was beautiful
34:59but the stupidest thing
35:00is trying to live there
35:01a small sound
35:02but it pierced his heart
35:03Beckett stopped wasting time
35:05no more anger
35:06just numb pain
35:07sage won't you forgive me
35:08what must I do for a chance
35:09I regret everything
35:11six months were hell
35:12I can't lose you again
35:13please
35:13my expression didn't waver
35:15his regret can't change the past
35:17it's useless Beckett
35:18no future
35:19there's nothing left between us
35:21my words drained his strength
35:22helpless like facing an unbeatable foe
35:25I turned
35:26he couldn't stop me
35:27a smart man would leave
35:28he didn't
35:29he began pursuing me openly
35:30boxes
35:31supplies
35:32small favors
35:32each time
35:33he'd briefly falter
35:34then he'd straighten
35:36as if nothing
35:36only he knew his inner crumbling
35:38he feared that total collapse
35:40he believed I was his only hope
35:42he stopped asking
35:43too painful
35:44he just followed
35:45like a last train
35:46one day he followed me to the beach
35:48I stopped not to admire the view
35:50Beckett stopped a few steps behind
35:52he knew I was waiting for him
35:54he tried not to hope
35:55but it showed
35:56sage
35:57do you remember
35:58we promised to see the sea together
36:00he froze
36:01like college when we first met
36:03after graduation
36:04a beach trip for us
36:05I smiled and agreed
36:06but the promise was buried by family
36:08that pressure crushed without care
36:10he made a new promise
36:11christmas eve
36:12what was he doing then
36:13choosing a wife
36:14arranged marriage
36:15love was just a hobby
36:17that pure vow hit him hard
36:18the memory struck him like a knife
36:20Beckett you've been here two weeks
36:22what do you want?
36:23sage
36:24I thought about everything when you left
36:26I realized I can't let you go sage
36:28please just one more chance to make amends
36:30a chance?
36:31you've had your chances
36:32I was broken until I had nothing left
36:35now there are no chances
36:36not for you
36:37my words hit him like a heavy truck
36:39completely overwhelming him
36:41he tried to speak
36:42but his body forgot how
36:43we're done
36:44I turned around and left
36:45leaving him to face the end alone
36:47he stood there
36:48watching her disappear
36:49he rushed to the front desk
36:51his voice trembling
36:51where's your boss?
36:53the girl at the desk
36:54hesitated too long
36:55where did she go?
36:56she didn't say where
36:57she said she had business
36:59and would be gone for a few days
37:00he reeled back to his room
37:02defeated
37:02he stumbled back to his room
37:04he sat on the bed
37:05staring blankly ahead
37:06she was gone
37:07abandoning him again
37:08everything he relied on collapsed
37:10long after I found out
37:12he finally picked up the phone
37:13he called his assistant
37:15since he left Los Angeles
37:16he hadn't checked once
37:18so the call was very sudden
37:19when Logan answered
37:20Beckett's voice was weak and hoarse
37:22find out where sage went
37:24I'm sending you her latest information
37:25he hung up
37:26and sent over the information
37:28he'd pieced together
37:29my new contact details
37:30the new version of my identity
37:32he had been tracking
37:33like a ghost hunter
37:34Logan was puzzled
37:35but he acted quickly
37:36flight information
37:37was found within hours
37:38as soon as Beckett
37:40got the information
37:40all hesitation vanished
37:42he had only one thing
37:43on his mind
37:44to find her
37:45don't let her escape again
37:47in fact
37:47I wasn't running away at all
37:49I was just visiting a friend
37:50she had invited me
37:51for some time
37:52but the hotel's
37:53tourist season was busy
37:54and I couldn't get away
37:55when things finally slowed down
37:57I came
37:58that's it
37:59I didn't report to Beckett
38:00because he was no longer
38:02a part of my life
38:03he had no right
38:03to question my affairs anymore
38:05but Beckett was too sensitive now
38:07silence sounded like abandonment
38:09when I saw him
38:10at the hotel entrance
38:11I frowned
38:11instantly annoyed
38:12unreal
38:13he was like a lingering stench
38:15he saw I wasn't alone
38:16and immediately realized
38:17I might just be here to play
38:19not disappear
38:20a strong wave of relief
38:21washed over his face
38:22his knees seemed about to give out
38:24with others present
38:25he dared not act rashly
38:27he just followed from a distance
38:28quiet and tense
38:29as soon as I was alone
38:31he couldn't hold back anymore
38:32he rushed forward in two steps
38:34his eyes already red
38:35his hands desperately grabbed my shoulders
38:37he didn't even realize his own impropriety
38:40I thought you ran away again
38:41he blurted out
38:42his voice trembling
38:43I thought you left me again
38:44thank God
38:45thank God
38:46his voice finally broke
38:47because what exactly was he thanking God for
38:50my not running away doesn't mean I forgave him
38:52he realized this
38:53and despair immediately surged
38:55tears spilled out
38:56but he kept his head down
38:57as if ashamed for me to see how broken he was
39:00his words came out choked
39:02Sage I
39:02I can't live without you
39:04please please don't leave me
39:06I beg you Gert
39:06he had no other options
39:08so he chose what he thought might work
39:10tears
39:10panic please
39:11hoping to soften my heart
39:13he didn't know me
39:14I won't be soft on someone who hurt me
39:16I'm sorry
39:17he choked
39:17saying it over and over
39:19I'm sorry Sage
39:20please don't go
39:21don't go
39:21it was the first time I'd seen him cry
39:23I was surprised for half a second
39:25then it passed
39:26there's no rule in the world
39:28that says a few tears can buy forgiveness
39:30I forcibly pushed his hands away
39:32I've made myself clear
39:33I said
39:34there's no us
39:35don't ruin the only good we had
39:37until only pain remains
39:38he stumbled back two steps his face tight
39:41as if his heart was being torn apart
39:43then he remembered the ring around his neck
39:45with trembling fingers
39:46he pulled it off and pushed it towards me
39:48as if it were a lifeline
39:50his voice incoherent
39:51Sage do you remember this
39:52you promised to stay
39:53you can't go back on it
39:55can we go back and get married
39:56I let out a sharp mocking laugh
39:58because his audacity was simply unreal
40:00my promise existed only because of him
40:03if he couldn't keep it
40:04why should I be bound
40:05do you not hear how ridiculous you sound
40:07let's just let each other go
40:09really
40:10don't make me look back one day
40:11and only feel pain
40:12he didn't argue
40:13he just cried silently
40:15tears fell silently
40:16after that I stayed there for a week
40:18every day I would glimpse him nearby
40:20he didn't approach
40:21nor did he speak
40:22he just watched
40:23as if only his eyes could express
40:25I ignored him
40:26I figured he'd eventually get the message and leave
40:29Sage's resolute departure forced Beckett to leave Hawaii
40:32he returned to LA
40:33only to sink into deeper despair
40:35he sought a sliver of solace
40:42that necklace became his only anchor
40:44back in his mansion
40:45Beckett isolated himself
40:47he lived in disarray
40:48wasting away
40:49his only anchor was the memory of Sage
40:56he sought comfort in it
41:02until a loud bank shattered the silence
41:05his father Mr. Northcott stormed in furiously
41:18look at the state you're in
41:19how long will you wallow in this self-pity
41:21you've dragged our family's name through the mud
41:24Beckett remained silent
41:25numb to his father's accusations
41:27if Sage saw you now
41:29she'd despise you even more
41:30she'd regret ever loving you
41:32these words cut Beckett to the core like a sharp blade
41:35you bear the family's responsibility
41:37don't be spineless
41:38Mr. Northcott turned and left
41:40leaving Beckett alone
41:41in the empty room
41:42he faced an unprecedented blow
41:44he began to reflect on his future
41:46and the destiny of his family
41:48the door closed
41:49and the villa plunged into darkness again
41:51Beckett stood there
41:52as if struck
41:53no one loves a man with no backbone
41:55he clung to that phrase
41:56ignoring the obvious truth
41:58I would never love him again
41:59he told himself
42:00he couldn't rot like this anymore
42:02so the next day
42:03he returned to the office
42:04burying himself in work
42:06as before
42:06as if working desperately
42:08could numb his mind
42:09on the very same day
42:10Raina Ransom was downstairs
42:12after the farce of a public apology
42:14her father had reprimanded her severely
42:16and locked her away for months
42:18when she finally got out
42:19she heard Beckett was no longer in LA
42:21now he was back
42:23and she drove straight to his building
42:24Raina had hated him for a long time
42:26even though she once called it love
42:28the moment he forced her to get an abortion
42:30hatred had taken root in her heart
42:32and never left
42:33she never forgot the emptiness that followed
42:36the numb body
42:37the silent room
42:38her heart felt scraped raw
42:39even though the physical pain was gone with medication
42:42they had both agreed to the arrangement
42:44the baby was theirs together
42:46lying to me was a team effort
42:47so why was I the only one punished
42:49she refused to let him get away with it
42:52she sat in her car all day and night
42:54her eyes glued to the entrance
42:55as if she could burn through the glass
42:57at 10 o'clock that night
42:58Beckett finally emerged
43:00walking straight to the parking garage
43:02the moment she saw him
43:03her hands tightened on the steering wheel
43:05as his car pulled out
43:07she started hers
43:08slamming on the gas
43:09then she rammed into him
43:10the impact was a brutal explosion
43:12both cars were totaled
43:14people screamed
43:15someone called 911
43:16the ambulance arrived quickly
43:18Raina only suffered fractures and bruises
43:20painful but temporary
43:22Beckett was not so lucky
43:23his injuries were severe
43:24so much so that he stayed in the hospital for months
43:27until he woke up
43:29when he opened his eyes gazing at
43:30the bright white ceiling
43:32his memories came back in fragments
43:34and the first thought he had wasn't relief
43:36but why didn't it kill me
43:38waking up meant facing a world without me
43:40to him that was worse than death
43:42maybe that was the point
43:43maybe life wanted him awake
43:45to pay for everything he had done
43:47Mrs. Northcote saw him open his eyes
43:49and immediately ran to find a doctor
43:51after examination the doctor said
43:53there was no organ damage
43:54but his legs would be unstable at first
43:56he would limp during recovery
43:58consistent rehab could prevent long-term complications
44:01Beckett had no reaction
44:02the thought of disability didn't scare him
44:05he didn't ask who hit him either
44:07Mrs. Northcote told him anyway
44:09Raina did it because she hated him
44:10he ended her pregnancy
44:12she said Mr. Northcote had insured
44:14Raina would be sentenced to life imprisonment
44:16Beckett didn't seem surprised
44:18if anything he seemed to finally understand
44:21what karma felt like
44:22for the next few days he did rehab at the hospital
44:25enduring the pain
44:26as if he deserved it
44:27one day he looked at the date
44:29tomorrow was my birthday
44:30he immediately called Logan
44:32book me a ticket to Universal Studios
44:34Logan tried to stop him
44:36Mr. Northcote
44:37your leg isn't ready for that
44:39wait until you've recovered
44:41no tomorrow's her birthday
44:42I promised her I'd be there every year
44:44I won't break my word again
44:46if you don't book the ticket I will
44:47I'm going
44:48don't tell my parents
44:50the next morning Beckett despite his injuries
44:52boarded a flight to Hawaii
44:54Logan followed behind him
44:55worried and helpless yet unable to stop him
44:58as soon as he landed
44:59Beckett rushed to the cake shop
45:00Logan offered to go
45:02but he insisted on buying it himself
45:03he felt it only counted if he carried it himself
45:06by the time everything was ready
45:08it was already afternoon
45:09he arrived at the hotel with the cake
45:11his face full of tension
45:12he asked the front desk
45:14the girl was startled and almost dropped something
45:16the boss went to the beach
45:18he immediately turned and left
45:20only then did the girl notice he was limping
45:22on the beach he told Logan not to follow
45:24he wanted to face it alone
45:31he walked towards me
45:32his steps heavy
45:33enduring the pain he knelt beside me
45:40Sage happy birthday
45:41I told you I'd be with you for every birthday
45:49he opened the box and lit the candles
45:51with a hoarse clumsy voice he began to sing
45:53happy birthday
45:54his gaze was so desperate as if trying to memorize my face
45:58I closed my eyes not believing in wishes
46:00wishes are merely self-deceiving lies
46:02no thank you I've already eaten today
46:04his hand froze instantly understanding what I meant
46:07he fought back tears nodding forcefully
46:10happy birthday
46:11may you be safe and happy and life treat you well
46:18this year let that promise end
46:20his body stiffened
46:22a tear rolled down his cheek
46:23looking back is there only pain left
46:26no there were good times too
46:28that one sentence would sustain him for the rest of his life
46:31back in Los Angeles the doctor spoke of his leg injury
46:34it was permanent unable to fully recover
46:36but Beckett had no regrets
46:38after that he never appeared before me again
46:41occasionally I would feel watched
46:43knowing he was watching me from afar
46:45this obsession would not easily fade
46:47it simply lay dormant waiting
46:48until the end of life
46:50it's
46:50it's
46:50it's
46:50you
