Short filmTranscript
00:00During a cold night in New York, I spat blood and collapsed onto the snow.
00:04With tears of unfulfilled regret, I slowly closed my eyes.
00:08When I opened my eyes again, I found myself lying on the bed in the luxurious bedroom.
00:13Everything around me feels so familiar.
00:15I have been reborn!
00:16I rubbed my forehead to alleviate the pain.
00:19Deanna, get out of here!
00:20Followed by a sudden and forceful knock at the door.
00:23Don't think hiding in the room will save you.
00:25How's the situation regarding in what you mentioned coming along?
00:28The one roaring outside was the president of New York Sterling Group, who is also my husband.
00:34People say he is deeply devoted and faithful.
00:37In reality, his refined demeanor was merely a facade.
00:40He would bring different women to his home every night for overnight stays.
00:44But he always just played around with it, never getting serious.
00:47Nevertheless, women seeking one-night stands with him remain a constant stream,
00:51simply because he always offers those girls a generous breakup fee.
00:55Until that day, he brought back college student Kaylee.
00:58Xavier said he fell in love with Kaylee at first sight, and they are truly God-given love.
01:03When Kaylee appeared before me, she was already expecting Xavier's child.
01:07Xavier demanded a hefty breakup fee from me to force our divorce, using it as a formal way to claim
01:12Kaylee as his legal wife.
01:14In my past life, I was so devoted to loving Xavier that I even agreed to an open marriage.
01:19Back then, I thought that as long as I could get along peacefully with Kaylee, I could wait for Xavier's
01:24true feelings to return.
01:25To my surprise, the end result was Kaylee's insatiable demands.
01:29She forbade Xavier from touching me, and even administered drugs to me.
01:33Find a man to defile me in my room.
01:35Then have Xavier come to the site to witness her achievements firsthand.
01:40No matter how I explained it, Xavier just won't believe it.
01:44He ordered his men to throw me out the door like trash.
01:47Let me die in the harsh winter of New York.
01:49Memories of past lives flooded my mind, and I clenched my fists.
01:53In this life, I will live for myself, and I'm gonna get those scum out of here.
01:58Pay the price bit by bit.
02:00I walked in unhurriedly, just opening the bedroom door.
02:04Xavier raised his hand to slap me hard.
02:06Jiver felt deeply humiliated.
02:08I stared calmly at Jiver, shaking his wrists repeatedly.
02:13Why didn't Mr. Shaver go out with your little girlfriend tonight?
02:16Or is that the CEO has round a failure new lover?
02:21Old women tend to be prone to hypochondriatic thoughts with advancing age.
02:25Dear, why engage in such lengthy discourse with a hen that cannot lay eggs?
02:31She leaned against Jiver's chest with the air of a triumphant victor.
02:34You two are truly inseparable.
02:36I can only wish you a permanent bond, so you won't end up causing trouble when you're free.
02:40Jiver looked surprised.
02:42Sienna, don't think this will make me look at you any longer.
02:45This divorce agreement is bound to be signed sooner or later.
02:49Jiver said this while producing a divorce agreement.
02:52Can't have it, Mr. Shaver.
02:54Oh, right. Remember to give me that $3 billion breakup fee.
02:57Jiver sneered and pulled out a bank check.
02:59$3 billion? You are a woman who covets money at all costs.
03:03I didn't try to defend myself against Jiver.
03:05I simply took the check from his hand.
03:06Suddenly, I shot Kaylee a teasing glance.
03:09Baby girl?
03:10Please, do not let me encounter you on the road in the future.
03:14Otherwise, I will certainly treat you rudely.
03:18When she heard my words, Kaylee's face flushed crimson as she lunged forward, trying to tear my clothes to shreds.
03:24Jiver held Kaylee close, gently comforting her.
03:27Dear, there is no need to be angry with a worthless person.
03:31A sharp and sarcastic voice rang out.
03:34Saver is absolutely right.
03:36It was Jane, Jiver's mother.
03:38Finally, we've got rid of this nuisance today.
03:41My dear child, I have wronged you.
03:43Do not concern yourself with this unclean object.
03:46She was merely a piece of trash encountered during the family's development process.
03:51Kaylee leaned against Jiver, sobbing softly, while a smug smile crept across her face as she gave me a defiant
03:57look.
03:57With a sneer, I turned back to the bedroom, slammed the door shut, and ignored the curses outside.
04:02I was examining the divorce agreement and cash check in my hands.
04:05In this life, I am free and will live a life that is truly my own.
04:09I left that prison that had crushed me for five years, clutching my handbag.
04:13The wind in New York is cool, but it feels exceptionally warm when blowing on my face.
04:17Meanwhile, in the Sterling family's living room, Shiaver's face turned gloomy.
04:21Eliminate that woman, retrieve the check, and remember to act with utmost discretion.
04:26The bodyguard nodded and walked out with a stern expression.
04:30Shiaver sat on the sofa, a knowing smile playing on his lips.
04:33You stupid woman.
04:34Paying three billion dollars will cost you your life.
04:37Walking down the street, I felt exceptionally relaxed.
04:40For the past five years, I have been working tirelessly for the Sterling family.
04:44With three billion dollars in hand now, I have ample resources to fully demonstrate my capabilities.
04:50A sudden gust of cold wind blew over me, causing me to shiver.
04:53A burly bodyguard emerged from the shadows.
04:56Lady, I'm sorry you cannot collect this check today.
04:58I never expected Shiaver to go back on his word, so I had to tightly wrap my handbag around my
05:03chest.
05:03As the bodyguard approached me, step by step, I swallowed hard, my mind racing as I strategized for the best
05:10course of action.
05:11Suddenly, I shouted,
05:12Shiaver!
05:13I seized the moment to immediately turn and flee backward.
05:17The bodyguard looked furious and then chased after me.
05:20I gasped and ran into an alley, only defiant as a dead end.
05:24My face turned pale and my breathing became rapid.
05:27Madam, it seems even heaven is not on your line.
05:30Surrender the check so you can maintain some dignity.
05:32Just as the bodyguard's head was about to grab me,
05:35A blinding flash of light made him unable to open his eyes.
05:38Sir, you would be prudent to refrain from approaching this lady.
05:45The bodyguard stood frozen in tension.
05:48His face contorted with fear.
05:49Liam Knight pressed his fingers against the trigger.
05:52After careful consideration, the bodyguard left the scene.
05:57Liam Knight smiled at me and tucked away his pistol.
06:01I never expected that bastard to be so heartless.
06:04Wherever you go, I'll follow you.
06:06Still reeling from the ordeal, I gasped for breath as I climbed into Liam Knight's crimson Ferrari.
06:14Thank you for your generous assistance tonight.
06:17I will certainly express my gratitude to you in due course.
06:20I asked Liam Knight to deliver it to the most luxurious private club in New York
06:23that I had reserved in advance.
06:25I booked the ultimate full-body spa and a total makeover.
06:29The tired woman with gray hair was gone,
06:31replaced by a blonde with sharp, fierce eyes.
06:36Fresh out of the makeover, I got a call from my bestie, Jolene.
06:42What happened?
06:43Sienna! Are you and Xavier, baby? It's everywhere!
06:47What happened?
06:49Check the news!
06:50Xavier is at a gala with that girl!
06:53He told the press she is his only wife!
06:56He's planning a wedding right now!
06:58Jolene's voice dropped, sounding worried.
07:02Babe, are you okay?
07:04The public recognition I craved for half my life.
07:07Xavier just gave it all to someone else.
07:09I'm fine.
07:13I, admiring my new look.
07:16Because we're already divorced.
07:19Divorced?
07:20But I didn't explain.
07:22I just gave a soft, cold laugh.
07:24You free tonight?
07:26Meet me at the bar.
07:27Drinks are on me.
07:27In New York's most elite lounge, the table was covered best wine and champagne.
07:32Hot male models crowded around me, pouring my wine.
07:35Jolene stared at me, her jaw on the floor.
07:39Holy shit!
07:41You've really moved on.
07:43I used to count every penny to prove I wasn't greedy.
07:46Now, I caught my reflection in the glass.
07:48The hair and custom couture felt strange, yet familiar.
07:51Jolene raised her glass and toasted me.
07:53This is the Ivy League genius I remember.
07:56You could have crushed Sterling Global if you started your own firm.
07:59You were their slave for 10 years.
08:01His cash isn't even enough.
08:03It wasn't just 10 years.
08:04It was an entire lifetime.
08:06In my past life, I built his empire into a global powerhouse.
08:10But in the end, I couldn't even afford a bottle of painkillers.
08:13I was kicked out by Kaylee's kids and died in a frozen dumpster.
08:16My life's work became a gift for her and her children.
08:19I downed my drink, the liquid igniting my soul.
08:22Let's see if they can survive without me.
08:24I'm going to show them exactly what I'm capable of.
08:27The news of my new firm hit New York overnight.
08:30Some saw an opportunity and rushed to invest.
08:33But most were just waiting to watch me fail.
08:36The tabloids called my move reckless and pathetic.
08:39I swiped past the headlines with a cold smile.
08:41Then, my phone rang.
08:42It was Xavier.
08:43Sienna, stop playing games.
08:45Your little startup won't last a week in this market.
08:50I kept your old desk open.
08:52Just come back.
08:53I don't need your advice, Mr. Sterling.
08:55A long silence.
08:56He sounded annoyed, as usual.
08:59Can't you just understand?
09:00I found true love.
09:02Why waste time on a tiny firm?
09:04Stay at Sterling Global.
09:08That Southside merger you were handling?
09:10I hung up on him.
09:11Of course.
09:12He just missed his favorite tool.
09:14The Southside merger was a total beast.
09:16It took me six months of blood and sweat to nail it.
09:19Without me, Sterling Global has no clue how to handle it.
09:22Back then, I was the VP.
09:24But my salary was only $3,000, my noble father-in-law would say.
09:29We're family.
09:30Don't be so greedy about money.
09:32I was naive enough to think it was a test.
09:34Now I see I was just elite, dirt-cheap labor.
09:37The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
09:39In the past, I carried Sterling Global on my back.
09:42This time, even if my new firm can't take it all, I'll hand-deliver those deals to their biggest rivals.
09:48Xavier slammed his phone onto the floor in a rage.
09:51He was used to my absolute obedience.
09:53Now, my cold rejection left him humiliated.
09:56His assistant walked in with a mountain of files.
09:58Xavier stared at them, totally clueless.
10:01Years of slacking off had left him completely out of his depth.
10:06Kaley followed him in, holding his hand with fake sympathy.
10:09Xavier, don't overwork yourself. Let me help you.
10:12You're young and inexperienced.
10:15Kaley's eyes turned red. She looked hurt.
10:17Sienna was the VP. Why can't I do it?
10:20Xavier almost said...
10:21Because Sienna was a finance genius.
10:23But one look at those tears and his logic vanished.
10:26He went soft and nodded.
10:29Fine. You start tomorrow.
10:31I just care about you so much. You've lost weight.
10:35My firm was crushing it in six months.
10:37Kaley tried every petty trick to stop me, but I handled them all with a smirk.
10:41My New York network was light years ahead of hers.
10:44My old team at Sterling was dying to jump ship.
10:48Kaley made their lives a total living hell.
10:51Don't quit just yet.
10:53Give me a little parting gift first.
10:57Kaley thought losing a few people was fine.
10:59She didn't know they were the company's lifeblood.
11:01Their projects failed one by one.
11:03Their stock price tanked.
11:05But my team?
11:05We were winning.
11:06I stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching my team.
11:11Celebration at Del Marmucco's tonight.
11:13Steaks and champagne on me.
11:16You're the gay-o-chee boss!
11:18We walked out of the lobby like champions.
11:20But there it was.
11:21A familiar black Rolls-Royce.
11:23The Rolls-Royce door opened and Xavier stepped out.
11:26He waved like he still owned me.
11:28I kept walking, eyes forward, ignoring him.
11:31His assistant blocked my path.
11:32Xavier caught up.
11:33Sienna, what is this?
11:35Didn't you see me?
11:36You've really grown some teeth lately, haven't you?
11:38I looked at him with total indifference.
11:41Is there a problem, Mr. Sterling?
11:43He choked on my coldness, but cut to the chase.
11:45Shut down your little firm.
11:47Come back to Sterling.
11:48I almost laughed at his sheer audacity.
11:51He took my smile as a sign of weakness and softened his voice.
11:54Sienna, I'm exhausted.
11:56Stop playing hard to get.
11:58He sighed, acting like he was making a huge sacrifice.
12:01If you're jealous of Kaylee, I'll move her out.
12:07I'm not playing games.
12:09Mr. Sterling, we are divorced.
12:11Stay out of my life.
12:14His patience snapped, and he raised his voice.
12:17I've already made concessions.
12:18What more do you want?
12:19The company needs you.
12:21Stop holding out like this.
12:23It's like talking to a brick wall.
12:24Mr. Sterling, go find your perfect wife, Kaylee.
12:28I'm an outsider.
12:29I don't clean up your messes anymore.
12:32He didn't even flinch.
12:33He looked understanding.
12:36Is it about the title?
12:37The marriage?
12:38Fine.
12:39After Kaylee has the baby, I'll consider it.
12:41But keep it a secret.
12:41I won't hurt her feelings.
12:43I'll say it one last time.
12:44Get lost.
12:46I don't want to remarry you.
12:48Not in this life.
12:49Not ever.
12:50Sienna, don't push your luck.
12:52This is New York.
12:53I can crush your pathetic little firm in a heartbeat.
12:58Suddenly, a smooth, lazy voice cuts through the air.
13:03Wow, that's a lot of talk, Mr. Sterling.
13:06Harassing my fiancé?
13:09Threatening her in public?
13:10Xavier turned, his smug look vanishing instantly.
13:13It was Liam Knight, his rival since birth.
13:16Heir to the Knight Empire.
13:17Liam walked over, lazy and confident.
13:19Babe, I've been waiting in the garage forever.
13:22Why are you standing here listening to dogs bark?
13:24Sienna, explain this.
13:26Are you betraying me?
13:28Then, his face twisted into a delusional smirk.
13:31I get it.
13:31You're just using Liam to make me jealous.
13:34Liam gave a huge, dramatic roll of his eyes.
13:36Stop talking to idiots, honey.
13:38It drops your IQ.
13:40Xavier screamed, trying to chase us.
13:42Stop right there!
13:44But the fury and weeks of stress finally hit him at once.
13:48Sienna, help!
13:50It hurts so bad.
13:52A sharp, stabbing pain ripped through his gut.
13:54He doubled over, clutching his stomach.
13:56I didn't stop.
13:57I didn't even slow my pace.
13:59I didn't look back once.
14:00Behind me, his assistant was screaming in panic.
14:02Liam didn't give me a chance to argue.
14:04He tossed me into the seat of his flashy red Ferrari.
14:07The engine roared as we tore out of the parking garage.
14:09He whipped off his shades, a smirk playing on his lips.
14:12So?
14:13How was my acting?
14:14I stayed silent.
14:14Pretty convincing, right?
14:15Watching the city blur past the window.
14:17Hey, Sienna, don't be a Buzzville.
14:19I just saved your skin.
14:20How are you gonna thank me?
14:21I looked at him.
14:22My face expressions.
14:23He shrugged, clearly not feeling my cold reaction.
14:26He didn't push it, just turned up the music and sped off.
14:29By that night, Xavier was the number one trending topic in New York.
14:32Sterling's CEO hospitalized after public meltdown.
14:36The headline showed him being rushed into an ambulance.
14:38The comment section was absolutely on fire.
14:41People mocked Xavier for his public affair, saying he got exactly what he deserved.
14:45Others believe he'll come crawling back for a remarriage, since Kaylee can't compare to me.
14:49VIP room.
14:51New York General.
14:52Total chaos.
14:53Kaylee's eyes were bloodshot.
14:54She smashed a glass.
14:56Why did you go see her?
14:58You promised I was the only one.
15:00Xavier lay in bed, pale and clutching his gut.
15:04Stop screaming.
15:05It was for the company.
15:07The company?
15:07Is the company more important than me?
15:10Kaylee lunged at him, looking completely unhinged.
15:13Swear it.
15:14Swear you'll never see Sienna again.
15:17Ever!
15:18Xavier felt like he was suffocating.
15:20Get out of here!
15:20He shoved her away.
15:21He roared, his voice cracking.
15:26Shut up!
15:29If you hadn't ruined the business, I wouldn't have to beg her!
15:32His mother burst in, seeing the mess and her son's face.
15:36She slammed a thermos down and pointed at Kaylee's nose.
15:39Kaylee!
15:40You are completely out of line.
15:43Xavier is sick!
15:44Why are you acting like a maniac?
15:46Sienna were here, she'd be taking care of him.
15:48She wouldn't be throwing a tantrum like a child.
15:51Sienna!
15:52Sienna!
15:53Always her!
15:54I'm not a maid.
15:55And don't forget, I'm carrying the heir to this family.
15:58We have servants for that.
16:00His mother was shaking.
16:01How dare you talk back!
16:05Get out!
16:07All of you!
16:08Xavier grabbed a pillow and hurled it with all his strength.
16:12Get out!
16:13Now!
16:14A deathly silence fell over the room.
16:16Xavier's mother and Kaylee stood frozen.
16:18Xavier collapsed back into the sheets.
16:20A muffled, broken sob escaped the covers.
16:23For the first time in his life, he felt true regret.
16:26He regretted letting Sienna go.
16:27With Sienna, the company was a well-oiled machine.
16:30The house was perfect.
16:31Life was effortless.
16:33He only had to play the great CEO.
16:35But now, Kaylee filled the office with her useless relatives.
16:38Projects were failing.
16:39Red lights everywhere.
16:40By then, his best people had already walked out.
16:43Even his parents did nothing but complain.
16:45It felt like years ago, when the firm was bankrupt.
16:48Back then, he could just turn around and find her.
16:50She'd smile and say,
16:51Don't worry, I'm here.
16:53Now, he turned around, and there was no one.
16:55The night group contract was officially signed.
16:58My biggest deal since leaving Sterling.
17:00I finally had a foothold.
17:02Liam signed with a flourish.
17:03Next to me.
17:03And tossed the pen aside.
17:06To our partnership.
17:07Ms. Vance, dinner tonight?
17:10Brain checked and gave a polite rejection.
17:12His smile faded.
17:13Sienna, how long are you going to keep running?
17:15He leaned over the desk.
17:17Don't act like you don't know my intentions.
17:19Since the garage scene, Liam had been relentless.
17:22Flowers, gifts, endless invites.
17:24It was too intense to ignore.
17:25But I kept my distance.
17:26Liam, if this is just a game to spite Xavier, I'm out.
17:30Liam's eyes lit up like burning stars.
17:33I'm not that bored, Sienna.
17:34He laughed with a touch of childish arrogance.
17:36The truth is, I've actually fallen for you.
17:39His gaze was so intense, I tried to step back.
17:42He caught my sleeve.
17:43His fingers warm against my wrist.
17:45Give me a chance.
17:46One dinner.
17:47My treat.
17:48He winked playfully and lowered his voice to a whisper.
17:53I'll tell you a secret about Xavier Sterling.
17:56The refusal on the tip of my tongue dissolved.
17:59Fine.
18:00A deafening crash erupted, shaking the room.
18:03The receptionist burst in, looking frantic.
18:05I'm so sorry, boss.
18:06I couldn't stop him.
18:07I waved her off, staring at the uninvited guests.
18:10Xavier sat in a wheelchair, leading the pack.
18:12He looked like a ghost.
18:14Sallow skin, sunken eyes.
18:15Sienna, I'm here to take you home.
18:18I felt zero pity, only pure irritation.
18:21I picked up the phone and dialed security.
18:24Security?
18:25Get these trespassers out, now.
18:27Xavier froze.
18:28He didn't expect me to be this cold.
18:30His eyes turned red instantly.
18:32Sienna, how can you do this to me?
18:34I've realized it now.
18:36We're perfect for each other.
18:38I'm divorcing Kaylee.
18:39Just come back to me.
18:40In my past life, this weakness would have broken me.
18:42Now, it was just noise.
18:44I feel nothing for you, Xavier.
18:46Who you marry or divorce is none of my business.
18:48I'm done being your slave.
18:50He looked devastated, like I'd slapped him.
18:53Was our marriage a lie?
18:56Not even one chance?
18:58Sienna, don't you forget.
18:59I paid for your tuition.
19:02You wouldn't have a degree without me.
19:04Now your wings are strong, and you just dump me?
19:08Just save Sterling Global.
19:10Five years.
19:11That's all I ask.
19:12I went silent.
19:13I hesitated for a second.
19:15Then, a warm hand covered mine.
19:17Liam was standing right beside me.
19:18Xavier, you have no soul.
19:20Using a pathetic lie to blackrail her?
19:23Disgusting.
19:25Liam, what are you doing?
19:27I'm glad I'm here.
19:28Otherwise, I'd never know that you stole credit from my charity to blackrail the woman I love.
19:32You're lying!
19:33Shut up!
19:34I paid for her tuition.
19:35It was me!
19:37Is that so?
19:38Sienna, look for yourself.
19:40Xavier screamed, panicking.
19:41These are my transfer records to your account, from high school through college, every single cent.
19:47The screen showed every transaction, clear as day.
19:50The dates and amounts matched my scholarship perfectly.
19:53Recipient, high school grant.
19:55Beneficiary, Sienna Vance.
19:56In my past life and this one, I believed it was Xavier.
19:59Freshman year, he claimed he was my anonymous donor.
20:02Out of gratitude, I gave him my loyalty.
20:04Because of that lie, I fell for him.
20:06I let him trample my dignity, because I thought I owed him.
20:09It was all a lie.
20:10From the very beginning, Xavier was still struggling, stiff with denial.
20:14I was by your side for ten years.
20:16I even out the money you own with anions and lice.
20:19Even without the money, you owe me one last favor.
20:22Have you forgotten how much you used to love me?
20:24Typical.
20:24He was playing the emotional card again.
20:26I'll forgive your affair.
20:27Let's just go back.
20:29I almost laughed.
20:29The audacity was mind-blowing.
20:31Even now, he was trying to gaslight me.
20:33Xavier, do you really think I'm that stupid?
20:37Bluss, turning the air to ice.
20:40That night in a stranger's bed, you set it up.
20:44You were the one who drugged my drink.
20:46He gasped for air, unable to utter a single word.
20:49My biggest regret is ever being with a liar like you.
20:53My last bit of pity turning to ash.
20:55That was the final blow.
20:56He collapsed into his wheelchair, sobbing like a child.
21:00It wasn't like that.
21:02You're supposed to love me.
21:04He muttered, delusional.
21:06Finally, security burst through his body.
21:08They rolled him and his wheelchair out the front door.
21:13The world was quiet.
21:15The conference room fell into a heavy silence.
21:17Liam wouldn't look at me, staring at the carpet.
21:23Actually, I have a thing at the office.
21:25I should go.
21:26He turned to make a run for it.
21:28Wait.
21:29I caught his wrist.
21:31Didn't you say you wanted dinner?
21:32He jumped like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
21:35I'm not trying to blackmail you.
21:36Don't get the wrong idea.
21:37You don't have to date me just because I paid for school.
21:40Seeing his stubborn, shy face, my heart finally cleared.
21:43I couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.
21:45I know.
21:46I just...
21:48Really, really want to have dinner with you.
21:51I looked him straight in the eyes.
21:53More serious this time.
21:55So, Mr. Knight?
21:57Are you free?
21:58Under my gaze, his face turned a deep crimson.
22:01Finally, he gave a tiny, subtle nod.
22:03I'm not.
