Short filmTranscript
00:00Everyone says Damien, the most powerful billionaire in the city, is hopelessly in love with me.
00:05But after spending three years by his side, I finally realized it had all been a lie.
00:11The person he truly loves has always been my stepsister.
00:15Chloe is crying her eyes out, tears streaming down and smearing across her face.
00:20My father, Victor, stands not far away with a furrowed brow.
00:24His eyes filled with nothing but heartache for his younger daughter.
00:28No way! I'm not marrying a blind man!
00:32How come Evelyn gets the trillionaire Damien, but I get a blind loser? This is so unfair!
00:38Do something! You're not actually making our daughter marrying a blind man, are you?
00:42Damien wants Evelyn, and the marriage is already a done deal. My hands are tied.
00:48Chloe became more and more agitated, and her body suddenly leaned forward.
00:52Everyone was terrified and screamed,
00:54I'll take your place. I'll marry him.
00:56Everyone was stunned into silence.
00:59I'll take the blind man.
01:00You get to marry Damien.
01:01Hearing this, Lubitra's grin spreading from ear to ear with joy.
01:05For real? You aren't taking it back?
01:09No kidding?
01:10Victor nods his head repeatedly, his fawning smile making me feel sick.
01:14If you marry that blind man for your sister, the Vanna's billion dollar dowry is yours.
01:20Plus, I'll personally give you another hundred million on top of that!
01:25Chloe stops me, her voice dripping with malicious joy.
01:28Evelyn, are you really giving up Damien, the trillionaire and richest man, to marry a blind man you don't even
01:35know?
01:35Damien loves you so much. Are you sure you won't regret it?
01:39Everyone says he loves me. I gaze at the gloomy sky, remembering that Damien was once the only hope in
01:45my life.
01:46Three years ago, right after my mother passed away, my father brought his mistress and bastard daughter into the house.
01:52He even tried to pimp me out, drugging me so I'd wake up in someone else's bed.
01:57It was Damien who kicked the bodyguards aside and saved me.
02:00I fell for Evelyn the moment we met. Whoever dares to lay a finger on her again.
02:05The whole Vane family will make him pay.
02:07He put a bracelet on my wrist and tied an apron to make breakfast for me.
02:12He would hug me from behind and kiss my forehead. When I was in danger, he was the one who
02:17shielded me behind him and took a knife for me.
02:19At that very moment, I do have faith in him. I believe that he really loves me.
02:24But later, I found out that Damien's so-called love was nothing but a plot coated in sugar.
02:30Are you sure you won't regret it?
02:32Chloe is still expecting my answer. Not for a single second.
02:35Since Damien has been scheming to push me into the depths of despair, then let the games begin.
02:41I'm in.
02:43Since the swap has been settled, I have one more condition.
02:47You won't tell anyone about the swap before the wedding.
02:49Chloe froze for a second, but a hypocritical smirk quickly replaced her shock.
02:54Don't worry, my dear sister. My lips are sealed.
02:57I returned to my room, and the moment I shut the door, my mask of toughness shattered into a thousand
03:02pieces.
03:03I curled up on the floor, my tears falling uncontrollably.
03:07Just the day before, I clearly overheard the conversation between Damien and his grandmother.
03:13His tone was more affectionate than anything I had ever heard before.
03:17Grandma, it's always been Chloe. I love how kind, brave, and smart she is.
03:21She's always putting others before herself, and she's not afraid to stand up for what's right.
03:26Being Mrs. Vane makes you a walking target. I'm not letting Chloe walk into that.
03:31My men are already in position to hijack the Grayson wedding convoy and bring her to me.
03:37Once she's safe, I'm sending her to my estate abroad. When the dust settles at Vane House,
03:42I'll bring her back and give her the grand wedding the world will never forget.
03:46It turns out that our love is nothing but a decoy for his beloved Chloe in Damien's eyes.
03:52He laid a trap of love for me, waiting for me to fall and leave me to die.
03:57Damien loves Chloe for her kindness and courage.
04:00But he has no idea that Chloe is the one who ruins my family and tries to take the only
04:05heirloom my mother left me.
04:06Damien loves Chloe for saving him from that fiery wreck.
04:10But what he doesn't know is that three years ago, the person who pulled him from the flames was me.
04:15He'll never know that it's my bracelet.
04:19I'm done being Chloe's human shield, Damien.
04:22Since you're so in love with that kindness of hers, you can have her. She's all yours.
04:29I sit by the Winslow family fireplace, my fingers clutching the photos of Damien and me.
04:34Sparks fly as that fabricated love slowly turns to ash.
04:39My face remains expressionless, even as my heart overflows with despair and loathing.
04:45Damien's voice is as gentle as usual, but now all I feel is a nauseating sense of hypocrisy.
05:01My grip on the phone tightens. My heart didn't just break. It froze. What a coincidence. It happens
05:08too many times. Whether it was for dinner, an art gallery, or even a business trip, Damien would
05:13always suggest. Let's bring Chloe with us. Let's bring Chloe with us. Let's bring Chloe with us.
05:18It turns out the traces were there to follow all along. No matter where we go, Damien always
05:24finds a way to drag Chloe into our world. He knows every detail of her preferences,
05:29yet remains completely blind to everything about me. I hang up the phone on him without a word. The
05:35firelight flickers in my eyes. Damien bursts into the room, looking concerned. But I know the truth is
05:42that he's afraid that if I die, there will be no one left to serve as Chloe's shield.
05:47Evelyn, you alright? Chloe rushes in right behind him. Fearing she might get jealous,
05:53Damien drops my hand immediately. I stand aside like I was just a random woman. Damien,
05:59since you enjoy your act so much and are so committed to Chloe, then let the games begin. I'm in.
06:08Chloe takes out a sapphire necklace, showing it off. I had seen one exactly like it before. I had
06:15intended to surprise him that day. Instead, I saw him with a sapphire necklace wrapped around his
06:21fingers, his hands covered in tiny, raw cuts. Boss, why insist on doing this yourself? Only
06:28something made by my own hands is worthy of her. I once believed that the necklace he poured his heart
06:33into was for me. I know now that everything he did, he did only for Chloe. Evelyn, I heard you're
06:40going for a fitting tomorrow. Can I come along? Sure. Damien agreed instantly, as if I weren't even
06:45in the room. The chandeliers in the boutique are dazzling, with rows of white gowns hanging on the
06:51racks. This white gown took a master designer three years to complete. The black one, however, is a piece
06:57by a rook. Chloe's eyes light up instantly, like a fox spotting its prey. I'll take this one. Seeing me
07:03point to the white wedding dress, Chloe immediately feigned innocence, clutching my clothes with both
07:09hands. I'm so sorry, Evelyn. I didn't know you liked it too. My bad. Seeing her amateur acting,
07:15I find it ridiculously funny. Nice try, you're getting better feigning innocent. That's enough!
07:21Why do you bully Chloe all the time? She is your sister! We've been together for three years.
07:26Do you honestly not know who the bully is? Damien doesn't even care my questioning.
07:31His expression is ice cold. This dress doesn't suit you. Let Chloe have it.
07:39But I like it! Don't let me repeat myself. Now leave it to Chloe. I stand frozen,
07:45watching Chloe hide behind Damien's back. Her face twisted into a smug, mocking smirk.
07:52Driven by Damien's favoritism towards Chloe, I chose the black wedding gown. As the silk lining
07:59pressed against my skin, it didn't take long for my allergic reaction to flare up. My wrists burned
08:05with an agonizing itch. I am allergic to silk. Damien has known this for two years.
08:11From now on, I don't want to see a single piece of silk in this villa. But now, he has
08:16long since
08:17forgotten. I slip into the gown and look at myself in the mirror. Damien, this is the first and the
08:22very last time I will ever wear a wedding dress for you. I step out of the fitting room. Damien's
08:28astonished gaze lingered on me for a moment. Evelyn, you look breathtaking in this. He looks down at my
08:34swollen red wrists, his expression shifting to confusion. What happened? It appears the lady
08:41is having an allergic reaction to the silk. Damien's face pales. He snaps his head toward me. Why didn't
08:47you tell me so? Hurry! Go get the medicine! His voice laced with a hint of blame. Didn't I tell
08:53you
08:53before? I look at him, my eyes filled with nothing but disappointment. I'm sorry. I promise I'll keep in
09:00mind next time. There won't be a next time. As I turn to leave the boutique, Damien chases after me
09:06and grabs my arm. We're getting married in a week. I'll make sure you have the best gown in the
09:11world,
09:11you have my word. But his promise is shattered by Chloe's scream. Without a second of hesitation,
09:17Damien lunges toward her. Suddenly, another kidnapper emerges, pressing a cold blade against my neck.
09:23The kidnapper howled, his voice filled with hatred. Damien! Your family ruined my life. Today,
09:30I'm going to make sure you lose the woman you love! Damien is in a dilemma. Finally,
09:35he chooses to save Chloe instead of me. The kidnapper's blade plunges into my chest. Pain surges through my
09:48entire body. I was never his lover. I was only ever the shield he used to protect Chloe. The blade
09:56plunges into my chest. The intense pain is causing my vision to blur. As I collapse, Damien catches me
10:03just in time, pulling me into his arms. I hear him scream my name, his voice cracking with a desperation
10:09that sounds like a total breakdown. Warm blood soaks through my dress. I force my eyes open with agonizing
10:16effort. Seeing the look of raw pain and regret on his face feels like a cruel, twisted joke.
10:22Damien, wasn't this exactly what you wanted? Taking the blade for Chloe? What the hell are you crying for?
10:28Doctor! Go get a doctor now! When I finally wake up, I'm in a hospital bed. Damien is there,
10:35clutching my hand tightly. Evelyn, you're finally awake. Damien hasn't left your side for three days.
10:41It's all my fault. If only I hadn't been there, you wouldn't have been hurt. Shut the fuck up!
10:47I couldn't hold my anger towards Chloe, and the pain in my chest made me tremble uncontrollably.
10:53I'd rather be the one taking a knife if possible. You have no idea how terrified I was while you
10:58were
10:58unconscious. Your love makes me sick. Get out! Just get the hell out! I snatch the glass from the
11:04nightstand and hurl it at him with all my remaining strength. Chloe lunges forward instantly, throwing
11:11her arms around Damien to shield him. Evelyn! I don't mind if you do anything to me, but why would
11:16you hurt Chloe? You've gone too far! Damien scoops Chloe up in his arms and marches out of the room
11:22without looking back. I watch their retreating figures, my eyes hollow and devoid of hope.
11:27You saved my life once. Now I've taken a blade for Chloe. A life for a life. We're even now.
11:36The hospital room is terrifyingly quiet. The IV drip ticking with each drop. Whispers floating from
11:43the hallway. Low voices, but every word cuts like a knife. Poor girl. She's been out for a whole day,
11:49and not a single soul has come to see her. Tell me about it. The younger Winslow daughter next door
11:54just scraped her skin a bit, and her fiancé won't leave her side for a second. Barefoot, I step onto
11:59the freezing floor, leaning against the wall for support, as I stagger out of the room. Through a
12:04crack in the door, I witness a scene of happiness. A long time ago, I had that kind of happiness
12:10too.
12:11On my birthday, my mother cooked a whole feast, smiling as she told me these were all my favorite
12:16dishes. Then, in the blink of an eye, my father marched Sabrina into our home with the young Chloe.
12:23I've tried so hard to take care of this family for you, and this is how you repay me? Messing
12:29around with some other women? How pathetic. Look at you. Can't even keep your own man.
12:34My mother clutched her chest and collapsed in a fit of rage. I knelt on the floor, screaming for help,
12:40but none of them cared. From that day on, I knew that this was no longer my home, and I
12:45had no place
12:46to call home. Damien, since you adore her kindness so much, I can't wait to see the day when you
12:52find
12:52out how she really is. Three days left until the wedding. I must escape this cage. If no one loves
12:58me,
12:59then I will learn to love myself. Miss Evelyn, your wounds haven't healed yet. How can you discharge
13:07yourself? And there's no one here to pick you up. Don't worry, I got this. After finishing the
13:13discharge papers, I change into a white dress and step out of the hospital. The sunlight bathes my
13:19skin, but it cannot warm my frozen heart. I keep reminding myself, only two days left until the
13:24wedding. Hang in there, then I will be free for good. Suddenly, a powerful hand clamps over my mouth
13:31and nose from behind. A pungent chemical odor floods my senses. I try to struggle, my heels
13:37twisting against the ground. My balance fails me, as darkness slowly pulls me under. When I wake up
13:43again, I'm tied to a chair in an abandoned warehouse. My mouth is sealed shut with black duct tape,
13:49and my hands and feet are bound tight with thick rope. Junk is piled high around me, under the dim,
13:55flickering lights. The air is thick, with the suffocating smell of dust. A man in a black leather
14:01jacket and a matching mask approaches me, followed by another masked man in black. Miss Evelyn, I
14:07presume? I heard you're the reason your sister is lying unconscious in a hospital bed. Don't you feel
14:13even a shred of guilt? Staring at him, I'm filled with terror and confusion. The masked man steps forward
14:19and grips my chin. It hurts. Today, I'm going to give you a lesson. This might hurt a little. I
14:25noticed
14:26the bracelet on the wrist of the masked man. It's the same as the one I gave Damien. The very
14:31bracelet
14:32I sought out specifically for him. The priest said this will keep you safe and happy.
14:39I love you forever. A violent shudder runs through me. I stare at the masked man in utter disbelief.
14:46It's him. It's Damien. He kidnaps me. Just for Chloe?
14:51I recognize him. It's Damien. Damien turns his back and mutters to himself, trying to find himself an
14:58excuse. Consider what she has done to Chloe. I cannot go soft on her. Then, Damien asks the masked man
15:05to
15:05smash a wine bottle over my head. The glass shatters against my head. A searing pain explodes across my
15:12forehead as the sound of the breaking bottle echoes in my ears. Again.
15:17The masked man raises another bottle, and strikes me again. Blood trickles down from my brow, blurring
15:24my vision. My mouth is still sealed, and I can offer nothing but muffled, strangled whimpers. At night,
15:31I am rescued and brought back to the vain villa. Damien, dressed in a white shirt, sits by my bedside,
15:37with a voice full of fake guilt. I'm so sorry, Evelyn. I should be responsible for this. I should
15:42have been more cautious. Damien pauses and changes the subject, looking at me with a cold and serious
15:47expression. But you should learn your lesson for what you did to Chloe before, shouldn't you?
15:51I lower my head indifferently, my voice low and submissive. Indeed.
15:56Ma'am, the chairman bought these just for you. The European Queen blue diamond necklace,
16:02a private island, and a collection of cloud villas. Do you like it, Evelyn? I tilt my head
16:08slightly and look at Damien. I love it, Damien. I've got a big surprise for you at the wedding
16:13tomorrow. What's this mystery gift? You'll find out tomorrow. All right. I'm looking forward to your
16:19gift, Evelyn. It better be something I'll remember forever. I stare straight ahead with a cold gaze.
16:25Don't worry. You definitely will. Damien wears a finely tailored black western style tuxedo and
16:33adjusted his collar in front of the mirror. With a smile of being determined to win on his face,
16:39his grandmother was pushed inside in a wheelchair. Look at you. Don't tell me you are too excited to
16:44sleep. The big day is finally here. Grandma, please don't tease me. I'm not that excited at all.
16:52Damien understands that marrying me is only a necessary measure to protect Chloe. Damien continues
16:58to adjust his color, talking to himself. I'm just a little curious about that surprise she mentioned
17:04yesterday. And at this time, I'm sitting in my bedroom. I am holding a photo of my mom, gently
17:10tracing it with my fingers. Mom, you always tell me that I should marry someone in love with me,
17:15but now I'm about to marry a stranger. But I hope I'm free and happy forever.
17:26The Graysons have arrived. Don't even think about backing out now. She impatiently tosses a black card
17:32at my feet. There is a hundred million dollars in it. Take it and put on Chloe's wedding dress,
17:36then leave with the Graysons. I look at that card, feeling nothing. The Winslow family meshes everything
17:42with money, and I'm just the cheapest one among them. In the bedroom, both Chloe and I are wearing
17:47the same white wedding dress. She sits upright in the chair, looking at me provocatively. Evelyn,
17:53you are about to marry that blind man soon. How do you feel now? One more word, and the deal
17:58is off.
17:59I'll make sure you never get to marry Damien. The smile on Chloe's face freezes instantly,
18:04her eyes filling with shock and fear. Watching Chloe crumble in panic, I feel absolutely nothing.
18:11It's time to end this marriage swap game. Luxury cars line the grand entrance of the Winslow estate,
18:18showing immense wealth and power. Damien steps out of a black sedan, dressed in a sharp tuxedo.
18:24A confident smile plays on his lips. His eyes are alight with anticipation. I've come to bring
18:30Evelyn home. On the other side, the Graysons arrived as well. Since our young master is indisposed due to
18:36his vision, I shall stand in to receive the bride on his behalf. Victor watches the two families,
18:42let out a sigh of relief. Thank God Evelyn agreed to the switch. Chloe's life would have been ruined
18:49otherwise. Inside, Chloe and I sit opposite each other. She wears a smug, provocative smirk. I'm telling
18:56you, Evelyn, Damien loves me instead of you. If he realizes it's me under that vow, he's going to
19:03be absolutely thrilled. Oh, he'll be thrilled to death for sure. My voice is flat, laced with a trace
19:09of icy irony. My stepmother, Sabrina, rushes in. Both Devane and Grayson are at the gate. Get your vials on
19:19right now. Damien sweeps the veiled Chloe into his arms, smiling as if he holds the entire world in his
19:41hands. Meanwhile, I'm helped into the Grayson's car. I lift my veil just enough to look back at Damien.
19:46Damien, from this moment on, may we never meet again. Suddenly, Damien's gaze sweeps over the
19:53neighboring car, catching my eyes through the window. The smile on his face freezes instantly.
19:58His eyes fill with utter disbelief. What the hell? Why is she in the Grayson car? Damien spins around
20:04and lunges toward his own car, ripping off the bride's veil. The moment he sees Chloe's face,
20:11his confusion morphs into pure horror. Oh, is it you? No, this is wrong. Everything is wrong!
20:20Damien howls. Damien, aren't you happy to see me? It wasn't you! It wasn't Evelyn! I'm supposed to
20:27marry her! He whips his head around and begins to sprint desperately after my departing car.
20:33Evelyn! But my car has already begun to pull away. Damien is in love with the wrong person,
20:38and now, he has married the wrong one. This is exactly what he deserves.
20:44My father and stepmother stand frozen in shock while the crowd begins to murmur. Did he just
20:50marry the wrong bride? Chloe leans out of the car, sobbing and shouting. But Damien doesn't even spare
20:56her a glance. He throws the car door open and barks at the driver. Follow that car! The driver steps
21:03on
21:03the gas, and the car speeds up. Damien leaves Chloe, the Winslows, and his so-called wedding,
21:09in the dust. He still thinks my big surprise is just a childish stunt. Inside the speeding car,
21:15he mutters to himself. I've already been so nice to you. Why would you run away?
21:19This is a total joke. Nice to me? He kidnapped me, assaulted me, and forced me to take a blade
21:25for Chloe,
21:25and then tries to shut me up with the blue diamonds and private islands. Damien pulls out his phone,
21:32his voice cold and commanding. Stop that car, right now. I was sitting in Grayson's car. Sunlight
21:38streams through the window, and for the first time, I can finally take a breath. I hear a screech of
21:43tires. The car is boxed in from both sides. Miss Evelyn, we're trapped! They've blocked us in!
21:48I look up to see Damien approaching. He presses his fingers against the glass,
21:53chucking his prey like it's still in a cage. He looks at me through the glass, his gaze full
21:58of quiet certainty. I told you, you can't escape me. Damien reaches out, about to pull my car door
22:04open. The moment the door swings open, his breath is ragged. But the next second, he finds the car
22:11empty. Where is she? Where is Evelyn? Miss Evelyn, she's in another vehicle. Damien freezes in shock,
22:19like all the strength has been drained from his body. In the distance, a black sedan cruises by
22:24slowly. From the back seat, I watch Damien standing by the roadside, completely losing his composure.
22:31Good thing I had another car ready. He thinks he's caught me, but all he catches is a decoy,
22:36just like these past three years. He thought he loved his savior, but it turns out to be a fraud.
22:41My car speeds past Damien. I helped you marry your true love. Do you like this surprise now?
22:47The assistant runs up, out of breath. Damien's face darkens. He's forced to turn back.
22:54That night, in the Vane family mansion, Chloe stands there with red eyes, apologizing to Damien.
23:00Damien, I'm sorry. I didn't know you cared about Evelyn this much. The switch was all her idea.
23:06She forced me into it. If you really don't want me here, I'll leave right now.
23:09She even makes a move to leave. Damien has no choice but to reach out and stop her.
23:15Chloe, how could I hate you? The one I'm truly in love with is…
23:19Damien chokes on his words. He wants to show his love for Chloe, but he can't speak up.
23:25How ironic. It turns out, even Damien has to struggle to believe his own lies.
23:33Damien offers Chloe a few dismissive words of comfort. Then he asks Chloe why I switched places
23:39in the marriage. Tell me, why did Evelyn switch places in the marriage?
23:43Chloe is in tears, looking all fragile, as she pins the blame on me. It's because she wanted that
23:48billion dollar dowry from the Graysons all to herself. She was willing to marry that blind man
23:54just for the money. For money?
23:56Damien repeats himself under his breath, like he's judging me in court. As he watches Chloe play the
24:01victim, a memory suddenly resurfaces. I took the bracelet, which had been blessed by a priest at
24:07the Grand Cathedral, and fastened it onto Damien's wrist with my own hands. There are so many people
24:12out there who want you dead, but I want you to be safe and happy forever. I had once wished
24:17for
24:17nothing but his well-being. Damien's composure begins to crack. He cannot fathom that I would
24:23discard him for money. She loved me so much. How could she throw away her place as my wife for
24:28a micely billion, just to marry a blind man? The door swings open, and Damien's grandmother
24:34rolls in on her wheelchair. How dare you? Evelyn is nothing like that. I want to see the bank records.
24:42I want to see them now. The assistant hands over a tablet, revealing a confirmed deposit of 1.1
24:49billion to my account. His grandmother tries to explain further, but Damien impatiently orders her
24:55out. Once the room falls silent, Chloe takes his hand. Evelyn doesn't love you, but I do. Can I stay
25:02by your side and take care of you forever? There is nothing I want more. Damien looks at Chloe,
25:08and agrees to keep her around. He pulls Chloe into his arms, resenting me without a trace of doubt.
25:14Evelyn, you didn't just bully Chloe. You abandoned me for a handful of cash. You are as foolish as you
25:21are vicious. Don't you dare ever come back. Later, Damien takes Chloe to a luxury boutique.
25:27She points to a red designer bag and tells Damien she adores it. Wrap them all up. In the clothing
25:33section, Chloe gushes over another row of gorgeous dresses, saying she likes them all. I'll take them
25:40all. Put it on my card. Whatever Chloe likes, Damien buys it all without hesitation, as if he's making
25:46it up to her and sending a message to everyone.Chloe is the right person to be his wife.
25:53Chloe's expression twists instantly. She hurls the popcorn cup to the floor.
25:58I said strawberry! Are you an idiot? Get on your knees and apologize!
26:03A flicker of confusion crosses Damien's eyes, as if seeing a harmless little rabbit suddenly
26:09bare its fangs. I'm so sorry, Damien. It's just that Evelyn forced me to eat buttered popcorn ever
26:16since we were kids. I was triggered a traumatic reaction. Chloe masks her malice as trauma,
26:22shifting every ounce of blame onto me, and Damien is actually buying it. He takes her hand and barks an
26:28order at the maid. From now on, no buttered popcorn in any vain cinema. During their ride back,
26:34Chloe admires her new necklace with a satisfied grin, while Damien looks hollow, as if a piece of
26:39his soul has been carved out. The impact from the red truck twists the car's frame into a mangled wreck.
26:50Shards of glass and twisted metal litter the ground. Blood streams down Damien's face,
26:55as he slumps against his seat, unconscious. Flames erupt from the engine bay as thick smoke
27:01begins to fill the cabin. Damien! Wake up! The car's on fire! It's about to blow up!
27:07Chloe's fear stems from her own survival, not concerns for Damien. Damien slowly opens his eyes
27:13and weakly reaches out to touch her face. Chloe... No! I'm too young to die! At least not like this!
27:20Chloe stumbles out of the car and flees into the night. Without a single backward glance,
27:26Damien's outstretched hand freezes in mid-air. The dancing flames reflect in Damien's eyes. A memory
27:33resurfaces, the same smoke, the same inferno of a burning car. The girl in his memories. Her face
27:41is finally clear. Sir, hang on! Stay with me! I'm getting you out! Damien slips into unconsciousness.
27:48He finally remembers it was me. I was the one who saved him from the car accident years ago.
27:54When he wakes again in a hospital bed, Chloe is there, clutching his hand and weeping.
27:59The person who saved me back then, it wasn't me, it wasn't me. Damien wake up from coma,
28:05and Chloe is already in tears, looking all fragile and pitiful. Damien, are you blaming me for leaving
28:11you just now? Well, I didn't! I left for help! Look! I even got hurt trying to save you!
28:19Damien coughs, doubling over. He wonders if he has truly misjudged her. Damien, let me feed you.
28:26But the first bite she feeds him makes him wince in pain. The patient just had surgery, absolutely no
28:33spicy food. Then how about some water? Who gives a patient ice-cold water? Chloe's care was nothing
28:43but a performance of tenderness for Damien to see. Young Miss Winslow is certainly carefree. Back
28:50when the other Miss Winslow was around, she used to take such good care of you every time you ride
28:54her. In a daze,
28:55Damien recoubles the memory of the past. He remembers me blowing on a hot soup before feeding him.
29:01I gently wash his body with warm water, and I held his wrist, saying,
29:06Could you stop getting hurt? I'm worried about you. But as he snaps back to reality,
29:12his voice is like ice as he warns the doctor.
29:15Evelyn is a Grayson now. She has nothing to do with the Vane family. Don't ever mention her again.
29:19Damien falls silent, but the conflict within him is deafening. Chloe is the one I love,
29:24so why can't I stop thinking about Evelyn?
29:26After I leave Damien, he decided to bait himself to draw out the hidden assassins,
29:32all for the sake of Chloe's safety. The dowager of the Vane family, Damien's grandmother,
29:39trembled with rage in the study. You foolish boy! Are you really going to
29:43throw your life for Chloe? I will not put Chloe in danger ever again.
29:47His grandmother stared at him, as if looking at a man blinded by his own delusions.
29:52Fool! I hope you don't live to regret this.
29:55After she left, Damien opened a wooden box on his desk. Inside was a bracelet.
30:01He stared at it, his mind drifting back to the scene of his first accident.
30:06Hang on! Don't you dare close your eyes! I'm getting you to a hospital!
30:12I pulled at him desperately, oblivious to the searing heat of the fire surrounding us.
30:17Just as Damien placed the bracelet back in the box, Chloe entered with a plate of peaches.
30:22She caught sight of the bracelet. Damien, what are you doing with my sister's bracelet?
30:27Damien froze, as if struck by lightning. Your sister? You mean Evelyn?
30:34Whose bracelet was this? Inside the study, Damien's grip tightened.
30:38The peaches slipped from Chloe's hand. She panicked.
30:42Did you just say, this is Evelyn's?
30:45Damien, why are you getting so worked up over a bracelet? It's mine.
30:50I only said that to see if you still missed her. After all, you used to be so fond of
30:55her.
30:56Damien freezes. He hears her clearly, but he's terrified of admitting he's been loving the wrong
31:02person all along. So, he chooses self-deception and makes excuses for Chloe.
31:07I must have misheard. Evelyn bullies Chloe all the time. There's no way she could be the one who
31:13saved me. Damien snapped the box shut, locking away the last of his doubts. You've already given
31:19me watches, necklaces, and clothes, and I want shares in the Vein Corporation. Okay.
31:26He tried to buy Chloe's forgiveness with money, which he has so much of. The agreement states that
31:31if anything happens to Damien, all his shares will be transferred to Chloe.
31:36The next day, Damien entered the living room to Victor's applause and cheers.
31:41That's my girl. You took the richest man in the city down in no time.
31:46Damien's expression darkened as the shrill laughter echoed from within.
31:50The richest man, to me, is nothing but a loyal dog.
31:54Damien stood there, paralyzed. At that moment, he finally realized the person he was willing to die for,
32:01has never seen him as an equal. Evelyn spent three years and didn't get a single
32:06share. You did it in three months. That's my girl. She's nothing compared to me. Every word
32:12Chloe says feels like a knife twisting in Damien's chest. We should have just kicked her and her
32:18mother off the balcony finish them for good. I love stealing her bracelet just to see that look on her
32:24face. Furious but helpless. It's a riot. But her last word is like a fatal stike.
32:32Remember the accident last time? The car was a ticking bomb. You think I'd stay?
32:37I kicked him off me and ran for my life. If it weren't for some passerby, he'd be toast.
32:43Damien stands in the hallway, his face deathly pale. A servant approached him and asked if he
32:50would like to be announced. Damien ignores her, simply pulling out the bracelet. The servant
32:55recognizes the bracelet at a glance. It's mine. Isn't this Miss Winslow's bracelet? It was the
33:01heirloom her mother left her, then young Miss Winslow and lost it. Damien freezes instantly,
33:07his eyes locked on the bracelet. You're telling me this bracelet, it belongs to Evelyn? Damien has
33:14had it wrong from the very beginning. Damien looks down at the phone, staring at a photo of me smiling.
33:21The servant trembles while explaining that the eye had worn the bracelet since childhood,
33:26a precious heirloom left to me by my mother. Damien's mind flashes back to the day that I saved him.
33:34Please just hang on! Finally, he admits the truth. It was me. I was the one who saved him.
33:41It was Evelyn all along. All around him, the white floral arranged for the wedding stand in pristine
33:47silence. Its purity feels like a cruel mockery. The echoes of Victor's cigar-filled laughter and
33:53Chloe's malicious taunts ring out once again. Evelyn is nothing but a tool. She's nothing compared to me.
33:59Every word out of Chloe's mouth is like a dagger plunged straight into Damien's heart. He finally
34:05realizes that the woman he cherished wasn't his true love. She was a demon who climbed her way up
34:11over my mother and me. Evelyn, I was wrong. I'm a total jerk. He whispers my name like a confession,
34:18a plea of regret. I don't know how many times I dreamed of hearing he apologizes. But when this day
34:24comes, I only feel a dull ache in my chest. There is no satisfaction, no relief at all. Because I
34:31finally understand that. Whether he admits his mistakes or not, it changes nothing. So even if
34:37Damien crawls to me on his knees, I would never go back to him. He walked alone through the long
34:42corridors of the Winslow estate. The pristine, sacred floral arrangements were really ironic.
34:49Yet Chloe's malicious taunting voice continued to ring in his ears. She's nothing compared to me. I
34:55love stealing her bracelet just to see that look on her face. Furious, but helpless. It's a riot.
35:02I just had to play the victim. And he actually believed Evelyn was bullying me.
35:09As he wandered aimlessly, a question I once asked him echoed in his mind.
35:14We've been together for three years. Do you honestly not know who the bully is?
35:18Back then, he remained silent. But now, staring down at the torn pieces of the share transfer
35:25agreement on the floor, he finally realized I had never lied to him. He remembered that day in the
35:31hospital, cradling Chloe while roaring at me.
35:35I don't mind if you do anything to me, but why would you hurt Chloe? You've gone too far.
35:40Damien finally knows. He was the one who misunderstood me, hurt me. Damien walked like
35:45a hollow shell of a man until he suddenly stopped, clutching his chest. A spray of fresh blood erupted
35:52from his mouth. He stumbled and collapsed to the ground as servants rushed to his side.
35:57This, perhaps, was the long overdue punishment for his sins. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper.
36:05He coughed up blood and collapsed due to extreme emotional shock. This is a matter of the heart.
36:10He needs to find peace within himself to truly recover.
36:15Even in his coma, Damien's brow remains tightly furrowed. In his dream, he hears his grandmother's voice.
36:22What happened to you? Weren't you supposed to help Chloe with her troubles today?
36:26Damien's eyes snap open, and he struggles upright. Damien swallows hard, and for the first time,
36:33his eyes hold not arrogance, but shattered regret.
36:36Grandma, I think I had the wrong person all along.
36:41What do you mean?
36:42It's been my fault from the start.
36:46I can't believe I let that venomous woman play me for a fool.
36:49Damien turns to his assistant.
36:53Go and check the footage of the accident three years ago. Now!
36:57Yes, sir. Back then, I identified Chloe because of the bracelet.
37:02I never knew that both Evelyn and Chloe had worn it.
37:05Grandma wants to add something, but Damien closes his eyes, exhausted.
37:10Grandma, could you leave me alone for a while, please?
37:14Everyone leaves and closes the door. Damien sits alone on the edge of the bed.
37:18His gaze is vacant, like a man who lost everything.
37:21After hearing from the Winslow family's servants that the bracelet belongs to me,
37:25Damien starts tearing through the room like a madman, searching for anything that belongs to me.
37:31The assistant pushed the door open. Damien flinches in shock.
37:35Damien looked up, his eyes flickering with a faint, humble sliver of hope.
37:39Where is Evelyn's stuff?
37:40After the young Miss Winslow moved in, she ordered us to throw Miss Winslow's stuffs out.
37:46Throw out?
37:48But I kept them instead.
37:50I have it all stored safely.
37:52Don't worry, sir. I'll go get them right now.
37:55Moments later, a cardboard box was brought in. Damien took it with such gentleness.
38:00He crouched on the floor, sifting through the box and pulling out photos one by one.
38:05Finally, he found the photo of us at the amusement park.
38:08In the picture, we were laughing so radiantly, as if we were the only two people left in the world.
38:14I never realized that Evelyn was the only one who could actually make me smile.
38:19Gazing at the photo, he admitted it for the first time. That I was the one he loved all along.
38:25But I've waited for so long that it is too late now.
38:29Damien continues sifting through the box. There, at the bottom, is a brown leather-bound book.
38:34My diary.
38:35He pulls it out, his fingers trembling as they linger on the cover. After a moment of hesitation,
38:40he finally opens it. First day. That was the first time Damien brought me back to the Vane family.
38:47Back then, I truly believed I finally had a home to stay.
38:51Day 23. Damien cooked for me himself today. I think I'm starting to fall for him.
