Transcript

00:00:05Everyone says Damien, the most powerful billionaire in the city, is hopelessly in love with me.

00:00:08But after spending three years by his side, I finally realized it had all been a lie.

00:00:12The person he truly loves has always been my stepsister.

00:00:15Chloe is crying her eyes out, tears streaming down and smearing across her face.

00:00:18My father, Victor, stands not far away with a furrowed brow.

00:00:21His eyes filled with nothing but heartache for his younger daughter.

00:00:24No way! I'm not marrying a blind man!

00:00:26How come Evelyn gets the trillionaire Damien but I get a blind loser?

00:00:29This is so unfair!

00:00:30Do something! You're not actually making our daughter marrying a blind man, are you?

00:00:33Damien wants Evelyn and the marriage is already a done deal. My hands are tied.

00:00:36Chloe became more and more agitated and her body suddenly leaned forward.

00:00:39Everyone was terrified and screamed.

00:00:41I'll take your place. I'll marry him.

00:00:42Everyone was stunned into silence.

00:00:44I'll take the blind man. You get to marry Damien.

00:00:45Hearing this, Lubitra's grin spreading from ear to ear with joy.

00:00:48For real? You want to take it back?

00:00:51No kidding?

00:00:51Victor nods his head repeatedly, his fawning smile making me feel sick.

00:00:54If you marry that blind man for your sister, the Vanna's billion dollar dowry is yours.

00:00:58Plus, I'll personally give you another hundred million on top of that!

00:01:01Chloe stops me, her voice dripping with malicious joy.

00:01:03Evelyn, are you really giving up Damien, the trillionaire and richest man, to marry a blind man you don't even

00:01:08know?

00:01:08Damien loves you so much. Are you sure you won't regret it?

00:01:11Everyone says he loves me.

00:01:12I gaze at the gloomy sky, remembering that Damien was once the only hope in my life.

00:01:16Three years ago, right after my mother passed away, my father brought his mistress and bastard daughter into the house.

00:01:20He even tried to pimp me out, drugging me so I'd wake up in someone else's bed.

00:01:23It was Damien who kicked the bodyguards aside and saved me.

00:01:25I fell for Evelyn the moment we met. Whoever dares to lay a finger on her again.

00:01:28The whole Vane family will make him pay.

00:01:30He put a bracelet on my wrist and tied an apron to make breakfast for me.

00:01:33He would hug me from behind and kiss my forehead.

00:01:35When I was in danger, he was the one who shielded me behind him and took a knife for me.

00:01:38At that very moment, I do have faith in him. I believe that he really loves me.

00:01:41But later, I found out that Damien's so-called love was nothing but a plot coated in sugar.

00:01:45Are you sure you won't regret it?

00:01:46Clody is still expecting my answer.

00:01:47Not for a single second.

00:01:48Since Damien has been scheming to push me into the depths of despair, then let the games begin.

00:01:52I'm in.

00:01:54Since the swap has been settled, I have one more condition.

00:01:56You won't tell anyone about the swap before the wedding?

00:01:58Chloe froze for a second, but a hypocritical smirk quickly replaced her shock.

00:02:01Don't worry, my dear sister. My lips are sealed.

00:02:03I returned to my room, and the moment I shut the door, my mask of toughness shattered into a thousand

00:02:07pieces.

00:02:07I curled up on the floor, my tears falling uncontrollably.

00:02:10Just the day before, I clearly overheard the conversation between Damien and his grandmother.

00:02:14His tone was more affectionate than anything I had ever heard before.

00:02:16Grandma's always been Chloe. I love how kind, brave, and smart she is.

00:02:19She's always putting others before herself, and she's not afraid to stand up for what's right.

00:02:23Being Mrs. Vane makes you a walking target. I'm not letting Chloe walk into that.

00:02:26My men are already in position to hijack the Grayson wedding convoy and bring her to me.

00:02:30Once she's safe, I'm sending her to my estate abroad.

00:02:32When the dust settles at Vane House, I'll bring her back and give her the grand wedding the world will

00:02:35never forget.

00:02:36It turns out that our love is nothing but a decoy for his beloved Chloe in Damien's eyes.

00:02:40He laid a trap of love for me, waiting for me to fall and leave me to die.

00:02:43Damien loves Chloe for her kindness and courage, but he has no idea that Chloe is the one who ruins

00:02:47my family,

00:02:47and tries to take the only heirloom my mother left me.

00:02:50Damien loves Chloe for saving him from that fiery wreck, but what he doesn't know is that three years ago,

00:02:53the person who pulled him from the flames was me.

00:02:55He'll never know that it's my bracelet.

00:02:58I'm done being Chloe's human shield, Damien.

00:03:00Since you're so in love with that kindness of hers, you can have her. She's all yours.

00:03:04I sit by the Winslow family fireplace, my fingers clutching the photos of Damien and me.

00:03:09Sparks fly as that fabricated love slowly turns to ash.

00:03:11My face remains expressionless, even as my heart overflows with despair and loathing.

00:03:15Damien's voice is as gentle as usual, but now all I feel is a nauseating sense of hypocrisy.

00:03:20Evelyn, I miss you.

00:03:21I miss you too.

00:03:22Don't forget, we have the wedding dress fitting tomorrow. Bring Chloe along.

00:03:24Since your weddings fall on the same day, you might as well try them on together.

00:03:27My grip on the phone tightens. My heart didn't just break. It froze.

00:03:30What a coincidence. It happens too many times.

00:03:31Whether it was for dinner, an art gallery, or even a business trip, Damien would always suggest.

00:03:35Let's bring Chloe with us. Let's bring Chloe with us. Let's bring Chloe with us.

00:03:36Let's bring Chloe with us.

00:03:37It turns out, the traces were there to follow all along.

00:03:39No matter where we go, Damien always finds a way to drag Chloe into our world.

00:03:43He knows every detail of her preferences, yet remains completely blind to everything about me.

00:03:47I hang up the phone on him, without a word.

00:03:49The firelight flickers in my eyes. Damien bursts into the room, looking concerned.

00:03:52But I know the truth is that he's afraid that if I die, there will be no one left to

00:03:56serve as Chloe's shield.

00:03:57Evelyn, you alright?

00:03:58Chloe rushes in right behind him.

00:03:59Fearing she might get jealous, Damien drops my hand immediately.

00:04:02I stand aside, like I was just a random woman.

00:04:04Damien, since you enjoy your act so much, and are so committed to Chloe, then let the games begin.

00:04:10I'm in.

00:04:11Chloe takes out a sapphire necklace, showing it off.

00:04:14I had seen one exactly like it before.

00:04:15I had intended to surprise him that day.

00:04:17Instead, I saw him with a sapphire necklace wrapped around his fingers, his hands covered in tiny, raw cuts.

00:04:22Boss, why insist on doing this yourself?

00:04:24Only something made by my own hands is worthy of her.

00:04:26I once believed that the necklace he poured his heart into was for me.

00:04:29I know now that everything he did, he did only for Chloe.

00:04:31Evelyn, I heard you're going for a fitting tomorrow. Can I come along?

00:04:34Sure.

00:04:34Damien agreed instantly, as if I weren't even in the room.

00:04:37The chandeliers in the boutique are dazzling, with rows of white gowns hanging on the racks.

00:04:40This white gown took a master designer three years to complete.

00:04:43The black one, however, is a piece by a rook.

00:04:44Chloe's eyes light up instantly, like a fox spotting its prey.

00:04:47I'll take this one.

00:04:48Seeing me point to the white wedding dress, Chloe immediately feigned innocence, clutching my clothes with both hands.

00:04:52I'm so sorry, Evelyn. I didn't know you liked it, too. My bad.

00:04:54Seeing her amateur acting, I find it ridiculously funny.

00:04:57Nice try, you're getting better feigning innocent.

00:04:58That's enough!

00:05:00Why do you bully Chloe all the time? She is your sister.

00:05:02We've been together for three years. Do you honestly not know who the bully is?

00:05:05Damien doesn't even care my questioning. His expression is ice cold.

00:05:08This dress doesn't suit you. Let Chloe have it.

00:05:12But I like it!

00:05:13Don't let me repeat myself. Now leave it to Chloe.

00:05:15I stand frozen, watching Chloe hide behind Damien's back.

00:05:18Her face twisted into a smug, mocking smirk.

00:05:21Driven by Damien's favoritism towards Chloe, I chose the black wedding gown.

00:05:24As the silk lining pressed against my skin, it didn't take long for my allergic reaction to flare up.

00:05:29My wrists burned with an agonizing itch.

00:05:30I am allergic to silk.

00:05:32Damien has known this for two years.

00:05:33From now on, I don't want to see a single piece of silk in this villa.

00:05:36But now, he has long since forgotten.

00:05:38I slip into the gown and look at myself in the mirror.

00:05:40Damien, this is the first and the very last time I will ever wear a wedding dress for you.

00:05:43I step out of the fitting room.

00:05:44Damien's astonished gaze lingered on me for a moment.

00:05:46Evelyn, you look breathtaking at this.

00:05:48He looks down at my swollen red wrists, his expression shifting to confusion.

00:05:51What happened?

00:05:52It appears the lady is having an allergic reaction to the silk.

00:05:55Damien's face pales.

00:05:56He snaps his head toward me.

00:05:57Why didn't you tell me so?

00:05:58Hurry, go get the medicine.

00:05:59His voice laced with a hint of blame.

00:06:01Didn't I tell you before?

00:06:02I look at him, my eyes filled with nothing but disappointment.

00:06:04I'm sorry.

00:06:05I promise I'll keep in mind next time.

00:06:06There won't be a next time.

00:06:07As I turn to leave the boutique, Damien chases after me and grabs my arm.

00:06:11We're getting married in a week.

00:06:12I'll make sure you have the best gown in the world.

00:06:13You have my word.

00:06:14But his promise is shattered by Chloe's scream.

00:06:16Without a second of hesitation, Damien lunges toward her.

00:06:19Suddenly, another kidnapper emerges, pressing a cold blade against my neck.

00:06:22The kidnapper howled, his voice filled with hatred.

00:06:24Damien!

00:06:24Your family ruined my life.

00:06:26Today, I'm going to make sure you lose the woman you love.

00:06:28Damien is in a dilemma.

00:06:29Finally, he chooses to save Chloe instead of me.

00:06:35The kidnapper's blade plunges into my chest.

00:06:37Pain surges through my entire body.

00:06:39I was never his lover.

00:06:40I was only ever the shield he used to protect Chloe.

00:06:43The blade plunges into my chest.

00:06:45The intense pain is causing my vision to blur.

00:06:47As I collapse, Damien catches me just in time, pulling me into his arms.

00:06:50I hear him scream my name.

00:06:51His voice cracking with a desperation that sounds like a total breakdown.

00:06:54Warm blood soaks through my dress.

00:06:55I force my eyes open with agonizing effort.

00:06:57Seeing the look of raw pain and regret on his face feels like a cruel, twisted joke.

00:07:01Damien, wasn't this exactly what you wanted?

00:07:03Taking the blade for Chloe.

00:07:04What the hell are you crying for?

00:07:05Doctor!

00:07:06Go get a doctor now!

00:07:07When I finally wake up, I'm in a hospital bed.

00:07:09Damien is there, clutching my hand tightly.

00:07:11Evelyn, you're finally awake.

00:07:12Damien hasn't left your side for three days.

00:07:14It's all my fault.

00:07:15If only I hadn't been there, you wouldn't have been hurt.

00:07:17Shut the fuck up!

00:07:18I couldn't hold my anger towards Chloe, and the pain in my chest made me tremble uncontrollably.

00:07:22I'd rather be the one taking a knife than possible.

00:07:23You have no idea how terrified I was while you were unconscious.

00:07:26Your love makes me sick.

00:07:27Get out!

00:07:27Just get the hell out!

00:07:28I snatch the glass from the nightstand and hurl it at him with all my remaining strength.

00:07:32Chloe lunges forward instantly, throwing her arms around Damien to shield him.

00:07:35Evelyn!

00:07:35I don't mind if you do anything to me, but why would you hurt Chloe?

00:07:38You've gone too far!

00:07:39Damien scoops Chloe up in his arms and marches out of the room without looking back.

00:07:42I watch their retreating figures, my eyes hollow and devoid of hope.

00:07:44You saved my life once.

00:07:45Now I've taken a blade for Chloe.

00:07:47A life for life.

00:07:48We're even now.

00:07:51The hospital room is terrifyingly quiet.

00:07:53The IV drip ticking with each drop.

00:07:54Whispers floating from the hallway.

00:07:56Low voices, but every word cuts like a knife.

00:07:58Poor girl.

00:07:59She's been out for a whole day and not a single soul has come to see her.

00:08:01Tell me about it.

00:08:02The younger Winslow daughter next door just scraped her skin a bit and her fiancé won't

00:08:04leave her side for a second.

00:08:05Barefoot, I step onto the freezing floor, leaning against the wall for support as I stagger

00:08:08out of the room.

00:08:09Through a crack in the door, I witness a scene of happiness.

00:08:11A long time ago, I had that kind of happiness too.

00:08:14On my birthday, my mother cooked a whole feast, smiling as she told me these were all

00:08:17my favorite dishes.

00:08:18Then, in the blink of an eye, my father marched Sabrina into our home with the young Chloe.

00:08:22I've tried so hard to take care of this family for you, and this is how you repay me?

00:08:26Messing around with some other women?

00:08:27How pathetic.

00:08:27Look at you.

00:08:28Can't even keep your own man.

00:08:29My mother clutched her chest and collapsed in a fit of rage.

00:08:32I knelt on the floor, screaming for help, but none of them cared.

00:08:34From that day on, I knew that this was no longer my home, and I had no place to call

00:08:38home.

00:08:38Damien, since you adore her kindness so much, I can't wait to see the day when you find out

00:08:42how she really is.

00:08:42Three days left until the wedding.

00:08:44I must escape this cage.

00:08:45If no one loves me, then I will learn to love myself.

00:08:49Miss Evelyn, your wounds haven't healed yet.

00:08:51How can you discharge yourself?

00:08:52And there's no one here to pick you up.

00:08:54Don't worry, I got this.

00:08:55After finishing the discharge papers, I change into a white dress and step out of the hospital.

00:08:59The sunlight bathes my skin, but it cannot warm my frozen heart.

00:09:01I keep reminding myself, only two days left until the wedding.

00:09:04Hang in there, then I will be free for good.

00:09:06Suddenly, a powerful hand clamps over my mouth and nose from behind.

00:09:09A pungent chemical odor floods my senses.

00:09:10I try to struggle, my heels twisting against the ground.

00:09:13My balance fails me, as darkness slowly pulls me under.

00:09:15When I wake up again, I'm tied to a chair in an abandoned warehouse.

00:09:18My mouth is sealed shut with black duct tape, and my hands and feet are bound tight with

00:09:21thick rope.

00:09:22Junk is piled high around me, under the dim, flickering lights.

00:09:25The air is thick, with the suffocating smell of dust.

00:09:27A man in a black leather jacket and a matching mask approaches me, followed by another masked

00:09:31man in black.

00:09:31Miss Evelyn, I presume?

00:09:33I heard you're the reason your sister is lying unconscious in a hospital bed.

00:09:35Don't you feel even a shred of guilt?

00:09:36Staring at him, I'm filled with terror and confusion.

00:09:39The masked man steps forward and grips my chin.

00:09:41It hurts.

00:09:41Today, I'm going to give you a lesson.

00:09:43This might hurt a little.

00:09:44I notice the bracelet on the wrist of the masked man.

00:09:46It's the same as the one I gave Damien.

00:09:48The very bracelet I sought out specifically for him.

00:09:50The priest said this will keep you safe and happy.

00:09:53And I'll be fine.

00:09:54A violent shudder runs through me.

00:09:56I stare at the masked man in utter disbelief.

00:09:58It's him.

00:09:58It's Damien.

00:09:59He kidnaps me.

00:10:00Just for Chloe?

00:10:02I recognize him.

00:10:03It's Damien.

00:10:03Damien turns his back and mutters to himself, trying to find himself an excuse.

00:10:06Consider what she has done to Chloe.

00:10:08I cannot go soft on her.

00:10:09Then, Damien asks the masked man to smash a wine bottle over my head.

00:10:12The glass shatters against my head.

00:10:14A searing pain explodes across my forehead as the sound of the breaking bottle echoes in my ears.

00:10:18Again.

00:10:19The masked man raises another bottle and strikes me again.

00:10:22Blood trickles down from my brow, blurring my vision.

00:10:24My mouth is still sealed, and I can offer nothing but muffled, strangled whimpers.

00:10:28At night, I am rescued and brought back to the vain villa.

00:10:30Damien, dressed in a white shirt, sits by my bedside with a voice full of fake guilt.

00:10:33I'm so sorry, Evelyn.

00:10:34I should be responsible for this.

00:10:35I should have been more cautious.

00:10:36Damien pauses and changes the subject, looking at me with a cold and serious expression.

00:10:39But you should learn your lesson for what you did to Chloe before, shouldn't you?

00:10:41I lower my head indifferently, my voice low and submissive.

00:10:44Indeed.

00:10:45Ma'am, the chairman bought these just for you.

00:10:47The European Queen Blue Diamond necklace, a private island, and a collection of cloud villas.

00:10:51Do you like it, Evelyn?

00:10:52I tilt my head slightly and look at Damien.

00:10:54I love it, Damien.

00:10:55I've got a big surprise for you at the wedding tomorrow.

00:10:57What's this mystery gift?

00:10:58You'll find out tomorrow.

00:10:59All right.

00:10:59I'm looking forward to your gift, Evelyn.

00:11:01It better be something I'll remember forever.

00:11:02I stare straight ahead with a cold gaze.

00:11:04Don't worry.

00:11:05You definitely will.

00:11:07Damien wears a finely tailored black western-style tuxedo and adjusted his collar in front of

00:11:11the mirror.

00:11:11With a smile of being determined to win on his face, his grandmother was pushed inside

00:11:15in a wheelchair.

00:11:15Look at you.

00:11:16Don't tell me you are too excited to sleep, hmm?

00:11:18The big day is finally here.

00:11:20Grandma, please don't tease me.

00:11:21I'm not that excited at all.

00:11:22Damien understands that marrying me is only a necessary measure to protect Chloe.

00:11:26Damien continues to adjust his collar, talking to himself.

00:11:28I'm just a little curious about that surprise she mentioned yesterday.

00:11:31And at this time, I'm sitting in my bedroom.

00:11:32I am holding a photo of my mom, gently tracing it with my fingers.

00:11:35Mom, you always tell me that I should marry someone in love with me.

00:11:38But now, I'm about to marry a stranger.

00:11:40But I hope I'm free and happy forever.

00:11:45The Graysons have arrived.

00:11:46Don't even think about backing out now.

00:11:48She impatiently tosses a black card at my feet.

00:11:50There's a hundred million dollars in it.

00:11:51Take it and put on Chloe's wedding dress, then leave with the Graysons.

00:11:53I look at that card, feeling nothing.

00:11:54The Winslow family meshes everything with money, and I'm just the cheapest one among

00:11:57them.

00:11:57In the bedroom, both Chloe and I are wearing the same white wedding dress.

00:12:00She sits upright in the chair, looking at me provocatively.

00:12:03Evelyn, you are about to marry that blind man soon.

00:12:05How do you feel now?

00:12:05One more word, and the deal is off.

00:12:07I'll make sure you never get to marry Damien.

00:12:08The smile on Chloe's face freezes instantly, her eyes filling with shock and fear.

00:12:12Watching Chloe crumble in panic, I feel absolutely nothing.

00:12:15It's time to end this marriage swap game.

00:12:17Luxury cars line the grand entrance of the Winslow estate, showing immense wealth and

00:12:21power.

00:12:21Damien steps out of a black sedan, dressed in a sharp tuxedo.

00:12:24A confident smile plays on his lips.

00:12:26His eyes are alight with anticipation.

00:12:27I've come to bring Evelyn home.

00:12:28On the other side, the Graysons arrived as well.

00:12:30Since our young master is indisposed due to his vision, I shall stand in to receive the

00:12:33bride on his behalf.

00:12:34Victor watches the two families, let out a sigh of relief.

00:12:37Thank God Evelyn agreed to the switch.

00:12:39Chloe's life would have been ruined otherwise.

00:12:40Inside, Chloe and I sit opposite each other.

00:12:43She wears a smug, provocative smirk.

00:12:45I'm telling you, Evelyn, Damien loves me instead of you.

00:12:48If he realizes it's me under that vow, he's going to be absolutely thrilled.

00:12:51Oh, he'll be thrilled to death for sure.

00:12:52My voice is flat, laced with a trace of icy irony.

00:12:55My stepmother, Sabrina, rushes in.

00:12:58Both the Vane and Grayson are at the gate.

00:13:00Get your vials on right now!

00:13:11Damien sweeps the veiled Chloe into his arms, smiling as if he holds the entire world in

00:13:15his hands.

00:13:15Meanwhile, I'm helped into the Grayson's car.

00:13:17I lift my veil just enough to look back at Damien.

00:13:19Damien, from this moment on may we never meet again.

00:13:21Suddenly, Damien's gaze sweeps over the neighboring car, catching my eyes through the window.

00:13:25The smile on his face freezes instantly.

00:13:27His eyes fill with utter disbelief.

00:13:28What the hell?

00:13:29Why is she in the Grayson car?

00:13:30Damien spins around and lunges toward his own car, ripping off the bride's veil.

00:13:34The moment he sees Chloe's face, his confusion morphs into pure horror.

00:13:38Oh, is it you?

00:13:39No, this is wrong.

00:13:40Everything is wrong!

00:13:41Damien howls.

00:13:42Damien, aren't you happy to see me?

00:13:44It wasn't you!

00:13:44It just wasn't Evelyn!

00:13:45I'm supposed to marry her!

00:13:46He whips his head around and begins to sprint desperately after my departing car.

00:13:50Evelyn!

00:13:50But my car has already begun to pull away.

00:13:52Damien is in love with the wrong person, and now, he has married the wrong one.

00:13:55This is exactly what he deserves.

00:13:59My father and stepmother stand frozen in shock while the crowd begins to murmur.

00:14:02Did he just marry the wrong bride?

00:14:03Chloe leans out of the car, sobbing and shouting.

00:14:05But Damien doesn't even spare her a glance.

00:14:07He throws the car door open and barks at the driver.

00:14:10Follow that car!

00:14:10The driver steps on the gas, and the car speeds up.

00:14:13Damien leaves Chloe, the Winslows, and his so-called wedding in the dust.

00:14:16He still thinks my big surprise is just a childish stunt.

00:14:18Inside the speeding car, he mutters to himself.

00:14:20I've already been so nice to you.

00:14:21Why would you run away?

00:14:22This is a total joke.

00:14:23Nice to me, he kidnapped me, assaulted me, and forced me to take a blade for Chloe.

00:14:26And then tries to shut me up with the blue diamonds and private islands.

00:14:29Damien pulls out his phone, his voice cold and commanding.

00:14:31Stop that car, right now.

00:14:33I was sitting in Grayson's car.

00:14:34Sunlight streams through the window, and for the first time, I can finally take a breath.

00:14:37I hear a screech of tires.

00:14:38The car is boxed in from both sides.

00:14:40Miss Evelyn, we're trapped!

00:14:40They've blocked us in!

00:14:41I look up to see Damien approaching.

00:14:43He presses his fingers against the glass, chucking his prey like it's still in a cage.

00:14:46He looks at me through the glass, his gaze full of quiet certainty.

00:14:48I told you, you can't escape me.

00:14:50Damien reaches out, about to pull my car door open.

00:14:53The moment the door swings open, his breath is ragged.

00:14:56But the next second, he finds the car empty.

00:14:58Where is she?

00:14:59Where is Evelyn?

00:14:59Miss Evelyn, she's in another vehicle.

00:15:02Damien freezes in shock, like all the strength has been drained from his body.

00:15:05In the distance, a black sedan cruises by slowly.

00:15:07From the back seat, I watch Damien standing by the roadside, completely losing his composure.

00:15:11Good thing I had another car ready.

00:15:12He thinks he's caught me, but all he catches is a decoy, just like these past three years.

00:15:15He thought he loved his savior, but it turns out to be a fraud.

00:15:18My car speeds past Damien.

00:15:19I helped you marry your true love.

00:15:20Do you like this surprise now?

00:15:22The assistant runs up, out of breath.

00:15:23Chloe's in coma.

00:15:24Damien's face darkens.

00:15:25He's forced to turn back.

00:15:26That night, in the Vane family mansion, Chloe stands there with red eyes, apologizing to

00:15:30Damien.

00:15:30Damien, I'm sorry.

00:15:31I didn't know you cared about Evelyn this much.

00:15:33The switch was all her idea.

00:15:34She forced me into it.

00:15:35If you really don't want me here, I'll leave right now.

00:15:37She even makes a noob to leave.

00:15:38Damien has no choice but to reach out and stop her.

00:15:40Chloe, how could I hate you?

00:15:42The one I'm truly in love with is...

00:15:43Damien chokes on his words.

00:15:44He wants to show his love for Chloe, but he can't speak up.

00:15:47How ironic.

00:15:47It turns out, even Damien has to struggle to believe his own lies.

00:15:52Damien offers Chloe a few dismissive words of comfort.

00:15:55Then he asks Chloe why I switched places in the marriage.

00:15:57Tell me, why did Evelyn switch places in the marriage?

00:15:59Chloe is in tears, looking all fragile, as she pins the blame on me.

00:16:02It's because she wanted that billion dollar dowry from the Graysons all to herself.

00:16:05She was willing to marry that blind man just for the money.

00:16:07For money?

00:16:08Damien repeats himself under his breath, like he's judging me in court.

00:16:10As he watches Chloe play the victim, a memory suddenly resurfaces.

00:16:13I took the bracelet, which had been blessed by a priest at the Grand Cathedral, and fastened

00:16:17it onto Damien's wrist with my own hands.

00:16:18There are so many people out there who want you dead, but I want you to be safe and happy

00:16:21forever.

00:16:21I had once wished for nothing but his well-being.

00:16:23Damien's composure begins to crack.

00:16:25He cannot fathom that I would discard him for money.

00:16:27She loved me so much.

00:16:28How could she throw away her place as my wife for a micely billion?

00:16:30Just to marry a blind man?

00:16:31The door swings open, and Damien's grandmother rolls in on her wheelchair.

00:16:34How dare you!

00:16:36Evelyn is nothing like that.

00:16:37I want to see the bank records.

00:16:38I want to see them now.

00:16:39The assistant hands over a tablet, revealing a confirmed deposit of $1.1 billion to my

00:16:44account.

00:16:45His grandmother tries to explain further, but Damien impatiently orders her out.

00:16:48Once the room falls silent, Chloe takes his hand.

00:16:50Evelyn doesn't love you, but I do.

00:16:51Can I stay by your side and take care of you forever?

00:16:54There's nothing I want more.

00:16:55Damien looks at Chloe and agrees to keep her around.

00:16:57He pulls Chloe into his arms, resenting me without a trace of doubt.

00:17:00Evelyn, you didn't just bully Chloe.

00:17:01You abandoned me for a handful of cash.

00:17:03You are as foolish as you are vicious.

00:17:05Don't you dare ever come back.

00:17:06Later, Damien takes Chloe to a luxury boutique.

00:17:09She points to a red designer bag and tells Damien she adores it.

00:17:12Wrap them all up.

00:17:13In the clothing section, Chloe gushes over another row of gorgeous dresses, saying she

00:17:16likes them all.

00:17:17I'll take them all.

00:17:18Put it on my card.

00:17:19Whatever Chloe likes, Damien buys it all without hesitation, as if he's making it up to her

00:17:22and sending a message to everyone.chloe is the right person to be his wife.

00:17:26Chloe's expression twists instantly.

00:17:28She hurls the popcorn cup to the floor.

00:17:29I said strawberry!

00:17:31Are you an idiot?

00:17:32Get on your knees and apologize!

00:17:33A flicker of confusion crosses Damien's eyes, as if seeing a harmless little rabbit suddenly

00:17:37bare its fangs.

00:17:38I'm so sorry, Damien.

00:17:39It's just that Evelyn forced me to eat buttered popcorn ever since we were kids.

00:17:42I was triggered a traumatic reaction.

00:17:44Chloe masks her malice as trauma, shifting every ounce of blame onto me, and Damien

00:17:47is actually buying it.

00:17:48He takes her hand and barks an order at the maid.

00:17:50From now on, no buttered popcorn in any vein cinema.

00:17:52During their ride back, Chloe admires her new necklace with a satisfied grin, while Damien

00:17:56looks hollow, as if a piece of his soul has been carved out.

00:18:01The impact from the red truck twists the car's frame into a mangled wreck.

00:18:04Shards of glass and twisted metal litter the ground.

00:18:06Blood streams down Damien's face, as he slumps against his seat, unconscious.

00:18:10Flames erupt from the engine bay as thick smoke begins to fill the cabin.

00:18:13Damien!

00:18:14Wake up!

00:18:14The car's on fire!

00:18:15It's about to blow up!

00:18:16Chloe's fear stems from her own survival, not concerns for Damien.

00:18:18Damien slowly opens his eyes and weakly reaches out to touch her face.

00:18:21Chloe, come on.

00:18:22No!

00:18:22I'm too young to die!

00:18:24At least not like this!

00:18:25Chloe stumbles out of the car and flees into the night.

00:18:27Without a single backward glance, Damien's outstretched hand freezes in midair.

00:18:31The dancing flames reflect in Damien's eyes.

00:18:33A memory resurfaces, the same smoke, the same inferno of a burning car.

00:18:36The girl in his memories.

00:18:38Her face is finally clear.

00:18:39Sir, hang on!

00:18:40Stay with me!

00:18:41I'm getting you out!

00:18:41Damien slips into unconsciousness.

00:18:43He finally remembers it was me.

00:18:44I was the one who saved him from the car accident years ago, when he wakes again in a

00:18:48hospital bed.

00:18:48Chloe is there, clutching his hand and weeping.

00:18:50The person who saved me back then, it wasn't you, was he?

00:18:54Damien wake up from coma, and Chloe is already in tears, looking all fragile and pitiful.

00:18:58Damien, are you blaming me for leaving you just now?

00:19:00Well, I didn't!

00:19:00I left for help!

00:19:01Look!

00:19:02I even got hurt trying to save you!

00:19:04Damien coughs, doubling over.

00:19:06He wonders if he has truly misjudged her.

00:19:07Damien, let me feed you.

00:19:09But the first bite she feeds him makes him wince in pain.

00:19:11The patient just had surgery.

00:19:12Absolutely no spicy food.

00:19:15Then how about some water?

00:19:17Who gives a patient ice-cold water?

00:19:19Chloe's care was nothing, but a performance of tenderness for Damien to see.

00:19:22Young Miss Winslow is certainly carefree.

00:19:24Back when the other Miss Winslow was around, she used to take such good care of you every

00:19:27time you were hiding.

00:19:28In a daze, Damien recouples the memory of the past.

00:19:30He remembers me blowing on a hot soup before feeding him.

00:19:32I gently wash his body with warm water, and I held his wrist, saying,

00:19:35Could you stop getting hurt?

00:19:37I'm worried about you.

00:19:38But as he snaps back to reality, his voice is like ice as he warns the doctor.

00:19:41Evelyn is a Grayson now.

00:19:42She has nothing to do with the Vein family.

00:19:43Don't ever mention her again.

00:19:44Damien falls silent, but the conflict within him is deafening.

00:19:46Chloe is the one I love.

00:19:47So why can't I stop thinking about Evelyn?

00:19:50After I leave Damien, he decided to bait himself to draw out the hidden assassins,

00:19:54all for the sake of Chloe's safety.

00:19:55The dowager of the Vein family, Damien's grandmother, trembled with rage in the study.

00:20:00You foolish boy!

00:20:00Are you really going to throw your life for Chloe?

00:20:02I will not put Chloe in danger ever again.

00:20:04His grandmother stared at him, as if looking at a man blinded by his own delusions.

00:20:07Fool!

00:20:08I hope you don't live to regret this.

00:20:09After she left, Damien opened a wooden box on his desk.

00:20:12Inside was a bracelet.

00:20:13He stared at it, his mind drifting back to the scene of his first accident.

00:20:16Hang on!

00:20:17Don't you dare close your eyes!

00:20:19I'm getting you to a hospital!

00:20:20I pulled at him desperately, oblivious to the searing heat of the fire surrounding us.

00:20:24Just as Damien placed the bracelet back in the box, Chloe entered with a plate of peaches.

00:20:27She caught sight of the bracelet.

00:20:28Damien, what are you doing with my sister's bracelet?

00:20:30Damien froze, as if struck by lightning.

00:20:32Your sister?

00:20:33You mean Evelyn?

00:20:35Whose bracelet was this?

00:20:36Inside the study, Damien's grip tightened.

00:20:38The peaches slipped from Chloe's hand.

00:20:40She panicked.

00:20:40Did you just say, this is Evelyn's?

00:20:42Damien, why are you getting so worked up over a bracelet?

00:20:45It's mine.

00:20:46I only said that to see if you still missed her.

00:20:48After all, you used to be so fond of her.

00:20:50Damien freezes.

00:20:51He hears her clearly, but he's terrified of admitting he's been loving the wrong person

00:20:54all along.

00:20:55So, he chooses self-deception and makes excuses for Chloe.

00:20:57I must have misheard.

00:20:59Evelyn bullies Chloe all the time.

00:21:00There's no way she could be the one who saved me.

00:21:02Damien snapped the box shut, locking away the last of his doubts.

00:21:05You've already given me watches, necklaces, and clothes.

00:21:09He tried to buy Chloe's forgiveness with money, which he has so much of.

00:21:13The agreement states that if anything happens to Damien, all his shares will be transferred

00:21:16to Chloe.

00:21:17The next day, Damien entered the living room to Victor's applause and cheers.

00:21:20That's my girl.

00:21:21You took the richest man in the city down in no time.

00:21:23Damien's expression darkened as the shrill laughter echoed from within.

00:21:26Richest man, to me, is nothing but a loyal dog.

00:21:29Damien stood there, paralyzed.

00:21:31At that moment, he finally realized the person he was willing to die for has never seen him

00:21:34as an equal.

00:21:36Evelyn spent three years and didn't get a single share.

00:21:38You did it in three months.

00:21:40That's my girl.

00:21:40She's nothing compared to me.

00:21:42Every word Chloe says feels like a knife twisting in Damien's chest.

00:21:45We should have just kicked her and her mother off the balcony, finished them for good.

00:21:48I love stealing her bracelet just to see that look on her face.

00:21:51Furious, but helpless.

00:21:52It's a riot.

00:21:53But her last word is like a fatal stike.

00:21:55Remember the accident last time?

00:21:56The car was a ticking bomb.

00:21:57You think I'd stay?

00:21:59I kicked him off me and ran for my life.

00:22:00If it weren't for some passerby, he'd be toast.

00:22:03Damien stands in the hallway.

00:22:04His face deathly pale.

00:22:05A servant approached him and asked if he would like to be announced.

00:22:08Damien ignores her, simply pulling out the bracelet.

00:22:10The servant recognizes the bracelet at a glance.

00:22:12It's mine.

00:22:13Isn't this Miss Winslow's bracelet?

00:22:14It was the heirloom her mother left her, then young Miss Winslow and lost it.

00:22:17Damien freezes instantly, his eyes locked on the bracelet.

00:22:20You're telling me this bracelet, it belongs to Evelyn?

00:22:23Damien has had it wrong from the very beginning.

00:22:26Damien looks down at the phone, staring at a photo of me smiling.

00:22:28The servant trembles while explaining that the eye had worn the bracelet since childhood,

00:22:32a precious heirloom left to me by my mother.

00:22:34Damien's mind flashes back to the day that I saved him.

00:22:37Please, just hang on!

00:22:38Finally, he admits the truth.

00:22:40It was me.

00:22:40I was the one who saved him.

00:22:41It was Evelyn all along.

00:22:43All around him, the white floral arranged for the wedding stand in pristine silence.

00:22:46Its purity feels like a cruel mockery.

00:22:48The echoes of Victor's cigar-filled laughter and Chloe's malicious taunts ring out once

00:22:51again.

00:22:51Evelyn is nothing but a tool.

00:22:52She's nothing compared to me.

00:22:53Every word out of Chloe's mouth is like a dagger plunged straight into Damien's heart.

00:22:57He finally realizes that the woman he cherished wasn't his true love.

00:23:00She was a demon who climbed her way up over my mother and me.

00:23:02Evelyn, I was wrong.

00:23:04I'm a total jerk.

00:23:05He whispers my name like a confession, a plea of regret.

00:23:07I don't know how many times I dreamed of hearing he apologizes, but when this day comes,

00:23:11I only feel a dull ache in my chest.

00:23:13There is no satisfaction, no relief at all, because I finally understand that.

00:23:16Whether he admits his mistakes or not, it changes nothing.

00:23:18So even if Damien crawls to me on his knees, I would never go back to him.

00:23:21He walked alone through the long corridors of the Winslow estate.

00:23:24The pristine, sacred floral arrangements were really ironic, yet Chloe's malicious taunting

00:23:28voice continued to ring in his ears.

00:23:30She's nothing compared to me.

00:23:31I love stealing her bracelet just to see that look on her face.

00:23:33Furious, but helpless.

00:23:35It's a riot.

00:23:36I just had to play the victim, and he actually believed Evelyn was bullying me.

00:23:40As he wandered aimlessly, a question I once asked him echoed in his mind.

00:23:43We've been together for three years.

00:23:45Do you honestly not know who the bully is?

00:23:46Back then, he remained silent.

00:23:48But now, staring down at the torn pieces of the share transfer agreement on the floor,

00:23:52he finally realized I had never lied to him.

00:23:54He remembered that day in the hospital, cradling Chloe while roaring at me.

00:23:57I don't mind if you do anything to me, but why would you hurt Chloe?

00:24:00You've gone too far.

00:24:01Damien finally knows.

00:24:02He was the one who misunderstood me, hurt me.

00:24:04Damien walked like a hollow shell of a man until he suddenly stopped, clutching his chest.

00:24:08A spray of fresh blood erupted from his mouth.

00:24:10He stumbled and collapsed to the ground as servants rushed to his side.

00:24:12This, perhaps, was the long overdue punishment for his sins.

00:24:17His face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

00:24:19He coughed up blood and collapsed due to extreme emotional shock.

00:24:21This is a matter of the heart.

00:24:23He needs to find peace within himself to truly recover.

00:24:25Even in his coma, Damien's brow remains tightly furrowed.

00:24:28In his dream, he hears his grandmother's voice.

00:24:30What happened to you?

00:24:31Weren't you supposed to help Chloe with her troubles today?

00:24:33Damien's eyes snap open, and he struggles upright.

00:24:36Damien swallows hard, and for the first time, his eyes hold not arrogance, but shattered regret.

00:24:39Grandma, I think I had the wrong person all along.

00:24:43What do you mean?

00:24:44It's been my fault from the start.

00:24:46I can't believe I let that venomous woman play me for a fool.

00:24:48Damien turns to his assistant.

00:24:51Go and check the footage of the accident three years ago.

00:24:53Now!

00:24:54Yes, sir.

00:24:55Back then, I identified Chloe because of the bracelet.

00:24:57I never knew that both Evelyn and Chloe had worn it.

00:24:59Grandma wants to add something, but Damien closes his eyes, exhausted.

00:25:02Grandma, could you leave me alone for a while, please?

00:25:05Everyone leaves and closes the door.

00:25:06Damien sits alone on the edge of the bed.

00:25:07His gaze is vacant, like a man who lost everything.

00:25:11After hearing from the Winslow family servants that the bracelet belongs to me,

00:25:14Damien starts tearing through the room like a madman,

00:25:16searching for anything that belongs to me.

00:25:17The assistant pushed the door open.

00:25:19Damien flinches in shock.

00:25:20Damien looked up, his eyes flickering with a faint, humble sliver of hope.

00:25:23Where is Evelyn's stuff?

00:25:24After the young Miss Winslow moved in,

00:25:25she ordered us to throw Miss Winslow's stuffs out.

00:25:28Throw out?

00:25:29But I kept them instead!

00:25:30I have it all stored safely.

00:25:32Don't worry, sir.

00:25:32I'll go get them right now.

00:25:33Moments later, a cardboard box was brought in.

00:25:35Damien took it with such gentleness.

00:25:37He crouched on the floor, sifting through the box and pulling out photos one by one.

00:25:40Finally, he found the photo of us at the amusement park.

00:25:42In the picture, we were laughing so radiantly,

00:25:44as if we were the only two people left in the world.

00:25:46I never realized that Evelyn was the only one who could actually make me smile.

00:25:50Gazing at the photo, he admitted it for the first time.

00:25:52That I was the one he loved all along.

00:25:54But I've waited for so long that it is too late now.

00:25:56Damien continues sifting through the box.

00:25:58There, at the bottom, is a brown leather-bound book.

00:26:00My diary.

00:26:00He pulls it out, his fingers trembling as they linger on the cover.

00:26:03After a moment of hesitation, he finally opens it.

00:26:05First day.

00:26:06That was the first time Damien brought me back to the Vane family.

00:26:09Back then, I truly believed I finally had a home to stay.

00:26:11Day 23.

00:26:12Damien cooked for me himself today.

00:26:13I think I'm starting to fall for him.

00:26:15He turned around in his apron and smiled.

00:26:17His eyes filled with such overwhelming tenderness.

00:26:19Day 100.

00:26:20Damien risked his life to take a knife.

00:26:22As I reached out with trembling hands to hold him,

00:26:24I knew then, I'm in love with him.

00:26:25As Damien turns to the very last page,

00:26:27the one destined to move him the most.

00:26:28Day 132.

00:26:29Because Damien was always getting hurt,

00:26:31I went to the Grand Cathedral.

00:26:32I climbed every single step on my knees.

00:26:34I pray for one thing only,

00:26:35for him to be safe forever.

00:26:36And now, Damien sits by the bed, reading those words.

00:26:39Agony and regret have finally swallowed him whole.

00:26:41Damien stares at the diary.

00:26:42He now knows that I have obtained that bracelet

00:26:44by crawling every step to the Grand Cathedral on my knees.

00:26:47His face contorts with a mixture of raw agony and crushing regret.

00:26:50To get me this bracelet,

00:26:51she actually went to the cathedral and knelt the entire way of prayer.

00:26:53He finally realizes,

00:26:55no wonder my forehead had been bruised and bloodied that day.

00:26:57It was all because she spent the whole time moving on her knees.

00:27:00The more Damien reads the diary,

00:27:01the more he falls apart.

00:27:02In the end, he lowers his head.

00:27:04I'm sorry.

00:27:05I am so, so sorry.

00:27:06A knock at the door breaks the silence.

00:27:08The assistant enters and hands a tablet to Damien.

00:27:10Boss, we've recovered the footage from the accident three years ago.

00:27:13Damien snaps his head up, eager to find the truth.

00:27:15Play it.

00:27:16The results, it doesn't match what we found before.

00:27:19What do you mean by doesn't match?

00:27:21With trembling hands, the assistant passes the tablet over.

00:27:24You better see for yourself.

00:27:26Damien sees it.

00:27:27His eyes glued to the screen.

00:27:28The footage shifts from a blur to a sharp image.

00:27:30The smoke, the roaring flames, and the twisted door.

00:27:32Damien sees himself unconscious and bleeding in the driver's seat,

00:27:35with the blurred figure beside him.

00:27:36As the image clears, the frame freezes on a face.

00:27:39My face, staring at the unconscious.

00:27:41Damien, with an expression of pure shock and desperate worry.

00:27:45Finally, the truth is laid bare.

00:27:47The person who pulled him from that fire, was me.

00:27:50After tearing the mask off Chloe's true self,

00:27:52he pulls up the footage of the car accident.

00:27:54On the screen, the black car is a total wreck.

00:27:56Smoke pours from the engine,

00:27:57and people in the crowd are yelling,

00:27:58recording everything on their phones.

00:28:00In the next second, it was me, rushing to the car.

00:28:01Sir, can you hear me?

00:28:02I run to the car window and reach out to grab Damien's shoulder.

00:28:04Sir, hang on, stay with me.

00:28:05I'm getting you out.

00:28:06I hold and drag Damien out of the driver's seat.

00:28:07I am choking on the thick smoke, coughing controllably,

00:28:09but I refuse to let go.

00:28:10Stay with me.

00:28:11Do not close your eyes.

00:28:12I am getting you to the hospital.

00:28:13Wake up.

00:28:13Through this footage, Damien finally realizes

00:28:15that I am the one who saved his life all those years ago.

00:28:17It's really her.

00:28:18Sir, it was Miss Winslow who saved you back then.

00:28:21I said I would repay my savior, but I got the wrong person.

00:28:23And I even used her to take that knife for Chloe.

00:28:26Damien's memories begin to spiral out of control.

00:28:28Let Chloe have it.

00:28:28The words turned into a boomerang,

00:28:30cutting deep into Damien's own soul.

00:28:31At the parking lot, a masked man drags Chloe away

00:28:33while she lets out a shrill scream.

00:28:35A masked man chokes my neck from behind,

00:28:36a cold diger pressed against my throat.

00:28:38The Vane family ruined my life.

00:28:40Today, I'm going to make sure you lose the woman you love.

00:28:43Damien looks at me, his gaze freezing for half a second.

00:28:45But a split second later, he turned and rushed toward Chloe.

00:28:48He was the one who actually pushed me toward Blade.

00:28:50The kidnapper's knife stabs into my chest

00:28:51and blood spreads instantly.

00:28:53In the room, Damien lowers his head.

00:28:54I'm sorry I got the wrong person.

00:28:56But his aplodgy has come too late.

00:28:57Damien finally finds out that I was the one who had saved him.

00:29:00He slumped on the ground, as if his soul had been drained.

00:29:03I even punished her for Chloe.

00:29:05Sir, are we still throwing a birthday party for young Miss Winsley?

00:29:08Damien looks up, his gaze suddenly firm with resolve.

00:29:10Why not?

00:29:11We will make it unforgettable for her.

00:29:13It sounded like he was trying to make it up to Chloe,

00:29:14but I could tell it's more like a setup.

00:29:16Damien continues to talk to himself.

00:29:18Evelyn, I'll come and beg for your mercy after I make them pay.

00:29:20I can't imagine how Chloe would show off about herself at that birthday banquet.

00:29:23The banquet hall is so extravagant, it looks like a wedding.

00:29:26Towers of champagne, oceans of fresh flowers,

00:29:28and dessert tables are overflowing everywhere.

00:29:30The guests are clutching their glasses,

00:29:31are buzzing with whispers and rumors.

00:29:33This is supposed to be a birthday party, isn't it?

00:29:34Feels more like a wedding to me.

00:29:35I heard that Damien invited every big name in the city just for Chloe.

00:29:38Wait a second, I thought Damien was in love with the eldest Winslow girl.

00:29:40How did it end up being Chloe?

00:29:41At this moment, Chloe makes her entrance,

00:29:42flanked by her father and Sabrina.

00:29:43Every head in the room turns to look at her.

00:29:45She smiles calmly,

00:29:46acting like she is fully entitled to the life she stole from someone else.

00:29:48Chloe raises her voice,

00:29:49sounding like a declaration or a demonstration of power.

00:29:51Ladies and gentlemen,

00:29:51you all know that Damien has always been good to me,

00:29:53and today he is going to give me a big surprise for my birthday.

00:29:56Her gaze swept over the crowd,

00:29:57filled with the pride of a winner.

00:29:58From now on,

00:29:59our alliance,

00:30:00our van is alliance.

00:30:01I find it ironic hearing her words.

00:30:02This banquet is far more than a birthday celebration.

00:30:04The higher she stands,

00:30:05the harder she falls.

00:30:06And the grander the stage Damien builds for her,

00:30:08the more it feels like he's preparing her for a funeral.

00:30:11As Chloe's birthday party getting more festive,

00:30:13gossip grows between the guests.

00:30:15Someone holds a wanglass and sneers,

00:30:16a mistress bastard,

00:30:18climbing her way onto the richest man in the city.

00:30:20I guess it's never wrong to dream big.

00:30:22Chloe is about to snap back,

00:30:23but a voice announces from the entrance,

00:30:25Damien Bain has arrived.

00:30:28Damien Bain has arrived!

00:30:30Every head in the room turns at once.

00:30:33Sabrina's eyes light up instantly,

00:30:35and Victor's hands are shaking with excitement.

00:30:37Damien walks in wearing a black suit,

00:30:39his steps steady and his eyes deep,

00:30:40showing no emotion.

00:30:41Chloe is beaming with expectation,

00:30:43like she's waiting for Damien to announce her status.

00:30:46Damien,

00:30:47finally you are here.

00:30:48Damien,

00:30:48thank you for hosting this birthday party for my daughter.

00:30:50It's truly impressive.

00:30:51Even my stepmother,

00:30:52Sabrina,

00:30:53smiles and chimes in as well.

00:30:54Well,

00:30:55what can I say?

00:30:55I guess love is devotion.

00:30:58Damien,

00:30:58what is the surprise you mentioned for my birthday?

00:31:01Damien looks at her with a smug look on his face.

00:31:03Patience.

00:31:04Trust me,

00:31:04you're gonna love it.

00:31:07The entire audience is laughing,

00:31:08envying and cheering,

00:31:09but only I know.

00:31:10Damien is here to settle the score.

00:31:12Chloe thinks it's a proposal or a grand gesture of love.

00:31:14She even believes that she killed the game,

00:31:16but she doesn't know that what the so-called surprise can be a dagger sometimes.

00:31:19No matter how beautiful the scabbard is,

00:31:21once the blade comes in and out,

00:31:22it's still going to harm.

00:31:23At Chloe's birthday banquet,

00:31:25the lights are bright enough to expose a person's dark side and heart.

00:31:27Damien takes Chloe's hands and leads her to the center of the room.

00:31:30Damien gently rubs Chloe's head with his.

00:31:32Damien,

00:31:33what did you get for my birthday surprise?

00:31:36Calm down.

00:31:37Trust me,

00:31:38you're going to love it.

00:31:39Someone lets out an excited scream.

00:31:42Is Damien about to pour his heart out?

00:31:44This is so romantic!

00:31:45When Damien speaks,

00:31:46it sounds like an oath,

00:31:47yet feels like an execution.

00:31:48I want everyone here to know,

00:31:50Chloe

00:31:51is my only love.

00:32:01Tears shimmered in Chloe's eyes.

00:32:02Believing she was finally about to become the richest man's wife.

00:32:05But right then,

00:32:06a female reporter suddenly rushes out,

00:32:08handing the microphone to the front of Damien.

00:32:09Why are you marrying Miss Chloe?

00:32:10Aren't you in love with your sister?

00:32:11Evelyn?

00:32:12Chloe's smile freezes,

00:32:13and her hands instinctively tightens.

00:32:15Damien just stands there with a blank face,

00:32:17and his tone is calm.

00:32:18I used to be with Evelyn,

00:32:19so that I can protect Chloe.

00:32:21Every scar I bore for her,

00:32:23every lash I took,

00:32:24every sin I carried,

00:32:25to him,

00:32:25I'm just a decoy.

00:32:26Damien repeats it once again.

00:32:28Chloe is the only one I love.

00:32:29Everyone present is moved by his deep affection,

00:32:31but I know,

00:32:32this is not his deep affectionate tenderness.

00:32:34He is raising the dagger,

00:32:35and wait for a time to deliver the fatal strike.

00:32:38Chloe is the only one I love.

00:32:40Chloe broke into tears of sheer ecstasy.

00:32:42Is it true, Damien?

00:32:43It always has been me.

00:32:46Do you like this surprise?

00:32:48She is whipping with joy now.

00:32:49I love it.

00:32:51I'm so happy.

00:32:53I couldn't hold my tears.

00:32:57It's too early to cry.

00:32:59A bigger surprise is yet to come.

00:33:02He uses a lethal dose of tenderness

00:33:03to lead her,

00:33:04step by step,

00:33:05into the trap.

00:33:06What surprise?

00:33:07I can't wait!

00:33:07You'll find out soon enough.

00:33:08Yes, crowd around to offer their congratulations,

00:33:10and some a-flaughtering her.

00:33:12Congratulations as the wife of the richest man.

00:33:13The entire elite circle will have to answer to you.

00:33:16The smile on my father is wide enough to swallow the room,

00:33:19as if all the fortune of Fane family

00:33:21is in his pocket.

00:33:23Chloe smiles smugly,

00:33:24her face full of arrogance,

00:33:25like she's showing off to everyone.

00:33:27To prove that I belong in the dirt,

00:33:28was the blind,

00:33:29while she belongs in the heavens.

00:33:31Just then,

00:33:32the assistant leans in,

00:33:33and whispers in Damien's ear,

00:33:34Boss, the assassins have surfaced.

00:33:36They're about to cut the power to the banquet hall.

00:33:37Shall we move in and take them now?

00:33:38Damien answers calmly,

00:33:39like he's known it all along.

00:33:40No need.

00:33:41His words sound like he pre-wrote the script for this.

00:33:43Damien wasn't ignoring the danger.

00:33:44He was inviting it.

00:33:46The next second,

00:33:47chaos erupted.

00:33:49Screams pour through the ballroom.

00:33:50Some guests are restrained by the thugs dressed like waiters.

00:33:53Another waiter pulls out a knife,

00:33:55and presses it straight to Chloe's throat.

00:33:57Her triumph vanishes,

00:33:58replaced by a paralyzing primal terror.

00:34:00Damien turns back,

00:34:01looking at her coldly.

00:34:02Chloe,

00:34:02didn't you want to be my wife?

00:34:04Today's your lucky day.

00:34:05Chloe stares at him.

00:34:06She's in shock.

00:34:07She finally realizes,

00:34:08the surprise is not a gift.

00:34:09It was settling the score.

00:34:11Kidnappers hit Chloe,

00:34:12leaving the ballroom in a chaotic mess.

00:34:16Damien,

00:34:16help me!

00:34:17Please!

00:34:18Chloe is drugged away by the kidnappers.

00:34:21Victor tries to rush forward,

00:34:22but he's held back.

00:34:22Sabrina's hands are clenched tight,

00:34:24her face deathly pale.

00:34:25She finally realizes,

00:34:26that marrying Damien,

00:34:27wasn't a ticket to wealth.

00:34:29It was an invitation to the slaughter.

00:34:34Sir,

00:34:34they've left a message.

00:34:35They ask for the entire Vane estate,

00:34:37in exchange for Chloe at an abandoned factory in three hours.

00:34:38Otherwise,

00:34:39they'll kill her.

00:34:39Victor and Sabrina,

00:34:41look as if their life have been drained out of them.

00:34:43They nearly collapse to their knees,

00:34:45but Damien merely looks up,

00:34:46his voice calm.

00:34:47No rush.

00:34:48Just call the cops in three hours.

00:34:49Ah!

00:34:50Ned rushed the mouse!

00:34:52We can't wait three hours!

00:34:53She'll be dead by then!

00:34:54Watch me!

00:34:56How dare you question the boss's decision?

00:35:00In that moment,

00:35:01Victor and Sabrina cling to each other,

00:35:02sobbing.

00:35:03Finally,

00:35:03they know how it feels,

00:35:05to lose their own blood.

00:35:06Trust me,

00:35:06I know it too well.

00:35:08Chloe is tied up in an abandoned factory,

00:35:09her gown stained with filth,

00:35:11a blade pressing against her throat.

00:35:13Her hands tremble as she dials Damien's number,

00:35:15crying out over and over.

00:35:16Come on, Damien!

00:35:17Pick up!

00:35:18Damien baiting answer.

00:35:20The kidnapper approaches with a cold sneer.

00:35:23Bitch,

00:35:24didn't you say Damien loved you most?

00:35:25That he'd risk his life to save you?

00:35:26Chloe looks gazed,

00:35:27as if her soul has left her body.

00:35:29I don't know!

00:35:30Please,

00:35:31just let me go in!

00:35:32The kidnapper glances at his watch.

00:35:34The clock's ticking.

00:35:35You'll be dead meat if I don't see him here.

00:35:38Meanwhile,

00:35:38Damien pants itch perfectly.

00:35:40He wants Chloe to rut in that terror.

00:35:42Do suffer what I have endured in the past.

00:35:44Just around three hours after Chloe was kidnapped,

00:35:47the warehouse doors are kicked open.

00:35:48Victor and Sabrina rush inside.

00:35:50Chloe,

00:35:51don't worry!

00:35:51Daddy is here for you!

00:35:52But a second later,

00:35:53the kidnappers punch them both to the ground.

00:35:56Damien and his assistant appear behind them.

00:35:59They are expressionless,

00:36:00as if they are simply here to witness the scene.

00:36:03Ten years ago,

00:36:04your family destroyed my life.

00:36:06Now,

00:36:06give me your life and your fortune

00:36:08in exchange for hers,

00:36:09or she dies!

00:36:10The blade presses tighter against Chloe's throat.

00:36:12Save me, Damien, please!

00:36:14My father scrambles up and begs Damien,

00:36:16bowing his head,

00:36:17like he's pleading for mercy.

00:36:18Damien!

00:36:19Save Chloe!

00:36:20I beg you!

00:36:20Are you sure you are choosing Chloe

00:36:22over the Winslow family?

00:36:23Victor freezes.

00:36:24Damien's assistant makes the stakes even clearer.

00:36:26If the boss saves Chloe,

00:36:27the Bane family is finished

00:36:28and your family will go down with it.

00:36:30Are you really willing to trade

00:36:31the entire Winslow family for Chloe?

00:36:32Victor's face drains of color,

00:36:33but Sabrina grips him tight.

00:36:35Who cares about the company?

00:36:36Chloe is our daughter!

00:36:37Dad!

00:36:38I am your favorite daughter!

00:36:39Give him what he asks, please!

00:36:41Victor hesitates,

00:36:42his hands shaking.

00:36:43He is,

00:36:43after all,

00:36:44a man who calculates every sin.

00:36:46Finally,

00:36:47he voluntarily shoves Sabrina away

00:36:48and roars.

00:36:51I cannot!

00:36:52The Winslow is my life's work,

00:36:54and nothing is more important than it!

00:36:55Victor points at Chloe,

00:36:56his voice as harsh as a death sentence.

00:36:58There is no other way.

00:36:59Chloe,

00:37:00I am sorry,

00:37:00but I will remember your sacrifice

00:37:02for our family forever.

00:37:03Chloe's paralyzed with shock,

00:37:04tears flooding her eyes.

00:37:05She can't imagine her father

00:37:06would discard her for money.

00:37:07Now she finally understands.

00:37:09To him,

00:37:09daughters are never treasure,

00:37:10but cheaps in the casino.

00:37:12Chloe's,

00:37:12still reeling,

00:37:13from her father's betrayal.

00:37:14The kidnapper has already started

00:37:16the countdown.

00:37:16I'm counting to three!

00:37:17Damien say yes to my deal,

00:37:18or I kill her!

00:37:20One!

00:37:21My stepmother grabs my father,

00:37:22sobbing.

00:37:23Victor!

00:37:25Victor!

00:37:25You care more about your company than us!

00:37:28Chloe turns to look at Damien.

00:37:30Damien,

00:37:30you said you loved me more than anything.

00:37:32You said you'd die for me.

00:37:33Damien smiles.

00:37:34It's a faint smile,

00:37:35colder than a blade.

00:37:36The police burst in.

00:37:37Freeze!

00:37:38Drop the weapon and let the hostage go!

00:37:39The kidnapper flies into a rage,

00:37:41and pours at Damien.

00:37:42How dare you call the cops!

00:37:43You don't give a damn about her life!

00:37:46She's all yours.

00:37:47Damien is expressionless.

00:37:49He sounds calm,

00:37:49as if nothing is happening.

00:37:50Victor and Sabrina

00:37:51are paralyzed with fear.

00:37:53Chloe freezes,

00:37:53as if her life has been drained out.

00:37:55Damien adds one last word,

00:37:56chattering Chloe's illusion.

00:37:57He's just a pawn to lure you out.

00:38:00The kidnapper goes all mad,

00:38:02and lunges at Chloe with his knife.

00:38:04Then I'm taking you down with me!

00:38:06But!

00:38:07No!

00:38:08A gunshot rings out.

00:38:10The kidnapper is shot dead,

00:38:11blood seeping from his neck.

00:38:12Sabrina rushes forward,

00:38:14calling her name,

00:38:14as the police secures the scene,

00:38:16and cuts the ropes.

00:38:17Chloe clutches her neck.

00:38:18Blood drips onto her pure white dress.

00:38:20She looks up at Damien,

00:38:21tears streaming down her face.

00:38:22Damien!

00:38:23Why?

00:38:24Why did you do this to me?

00:38:26You have the nerve to ask why?

00:38:28Because Damien finally remembers

00:38:29that I was the one

00:38:29who saved him back then.

00:38:31Chloe's nothing but an imposter.

00:38:32Now,

00:38:32Damien is simply giving her a taste

00:38:34of the same despair I felt.

00:38:35After the gunshot

00:38:36and the kidnappers down,

00:38:37Sabrina holds Chloe,

00:38:38trembling and sobbing.

00:38:39But Victor is the first

00:38:39to scramble to his feet.

00:38:40With a grubbling smile,

00:38:41he approaches Damien.

00:38:42Damien!

00:38:42I'm placing the future

00:38:43of the Winslow family in your hands.

00:38:44Hearing this,

00:38:45I suddenly recall the day

00:38:45of my mother's funeral.

00:38:46My father was exactly the same back then,

00:38:47handing his daughter over

00:38:48like a bargaining chip.

00:38:49Don't worry.

00:38:50The Winslow name is wiped off

00:38:51in this city from now on.

00:38:53The smile freezes on Victor's face.

00:38:55A second later,

00:38:56his phone rings.

00:38:57Our cash flow has collapsed.

00:38:58We're bankrupt.

00:38:59Victor turns pale instantly.

00:39:00The phone slips through his fingers.

00:39:02He collapses to his knees.

00:39:03It's over!

00:39:04It's all over!

00:39:05It turns out destroying my father

00:39:06doesn't require a blade.

00:39:07All it takes is the word

00:39:08bankrupt.

00:39:09Damien turns away.

00:39:10Evelyn, this is for you.

00:39:11I'll get you back sooner.

00:39:14Let's go.

00:39:14To the Grayson estate.

00:39:15We're bringing my wife back.

00:39:16The assistant hesitates for a moment.

00:39:18His voice dropping low.

00:39:19Boss, I'm afraid it's too late.

00:39:22Miss Winslow is already pregnant

00:39:23with Lucien's child.

00:39:27In that instant,

00:39:27Damien looks like someone

00:39:28has him by the throat.

00:39:29He thinks I would still be

00:39:30in the same spot,

00:39:31waiting for him to wake up.

00:39:32But I'm long gone.

00:39:33Sometimes, it's just now or never.

00:39:34Three months ago,

00:39:36I walked in the mansion

00:39:37in my wedding dress.

00:39:38Only we realized

00:39:38stepping through their doors

00:39:39was easy.

00:39:40But winning their hearts

00:39:41was another story.

00:39:42Mother.

00:39:43Save it.

00:39:44I ain't your mother,

00:39:44Miss Winslow.

00:39:45Lucien's mother gets

00:39:46straight to the point.

00:39:46This marriage was supposed to be

00:39:47with the Winslow's

00:39:48younger daughter, Chloe.

00:39:49Why do they send you instead?

00:39:50Does the Winslow family's

00:39:51reputation mean nothing?

00:39:52I steady my breathing,

00:39:53take a step forward,

00:39:54and speak with confidence.

00:39:55Ever since Lucien's accident,

00:39:56Chloe refused to marry him.

00:39:57She'd rather die.

00:39:58I was the one

00:39:59who proposed the switch.

00:40:00Lucien's mother stares at me,

00:40:01asking the ultimate question.

00:40:02Then why would you give up

00:40:03being the wife of the richest

00:40:03man in the city

00:40:04but marry my blind son instead?

00:40:05What are you really after?

00:40:06I stay silent for half a second

00:40:07before telling the truth.

00:40:08Because the one Damien

00:40:09truly loves is Chloe.

00:40:10He married me only to use me

00:40:11as a shield for Chloe.

00:40:11Saying those words

00:40:12feels like tearing open

00:40:13my wound for everyone to see.

00:40:14But there's no turning back.

00:40:15I look Lucien's mother

00:40:16straight in the eye,

00:40:17insanating every word.

00:40:18All I want is to live

00:40:19in this world safely.

00:40:20I didn't come to

00:40:20the Grayson Ray family for love.

00:40:22I came for a chance to live.

00:40:23After hearing my reason,

00:40:23Lucia's mother doesn't

00:40:24kick me out immediately.

00:40:25She's telling the truth.

00:40:26Damien favored Chloe,

00:40:27repeatedly leaving

00:40:27Miss Winslow to get hurt.

00:40:28The suspicion in Lucien's

00:40:29mother's eyes fade slightly.

00:40:30She finally believes my motive

00:40:31for coming to the Grayson's.

00:40:32Lucien's mother walks over to me.

00:40:33If you want to be part

00:40:34of this family, that's fine.

00:40:35But you must get

00:40:36Lucien's approval first.

00:40:37The young master lost his sight

00:40:38in an accident.

00:40:38He's been depressed since then.

00:40:39He never leaves his room

00:40:40and refuses any treatment.

00:40:41Winning him over,

00:40:42it's going to be tough.

00:40:43I smile and turn to look

00:40:44at Lucien's closed door.

00:40:44I know in my heart

00:40:45that this isn't just a room.

00:40:46It's a battlefield.

00:40:47I grab my suitcase

00:40:48and head straight

00:40:48for Lucien's room.

00:40:50Lucien's mother is stunned.

00:40:52Ma'am, the young master

00:40:53hates seeing people

00:40:54barge into his bedroom.

00:40:55Lucien's mother watches

00:40:56me enter the room.

00:40:58A spark of hope

00:40:59flickers in her eyes.

00:41:00I guess you'll never know

00:41:01if you don't try.

00:41:02The moment I push the door open,

00:41:03the bathroom door opens too.

00:41:05Lucien appears with only a towel

00:41:06around his waist.

00:41:06His face is as cold

00:41:07as an iceberg.

00:41:08So, you're Lucien?

00:41:10You are?

00:41:11I look at his well-defined abs

00:41:12and deliberately take my time

00:41:13to add a comment.

00:41:15Someone's been working out?

00:41:16Lucien's expression freezes.

00:41:18He's never met anyone

00:41:19daring enough to be this bold

00:41:20in front of him.

00:41:20I know that the first step

00:41:21to winning him over

00:41:22isn't playing nice.

00:41:23It's making sure

00:41:24he never forgets me.

00:41:26Lucien's veins pop

00:41:27as he bellows at me.

00:41:27Who allowed you to barge

00:41:28into my room?

00:41:28Get out!

00:41:29I walk past him with my suitcase,

00:41:30acting like I can't hear a word he says.

00:41:31He chases after me.

00:41:32I said get out!

00:41:32I'm your wife, Evelyn.

00:41:33Let's look out for each other

00:41:34from now on, husband.

00:41:35Nice work on these.

00:41:36She's the first ever

00:41:37there to flirt with him like that.

00:41:38Lucien opposes me in his bedroom,

00:41:39pointing out that he never agreed

00:41:40to this marriage with the Winslows.

00:41:41He wants me gone.

00:41:41It really doesn't matter

00:41:42whether you agree or not.

00:41:43From today on,

00:41:43this is our honeymoon suite.

00:41:44Bring my things in.

00:41:45Bags go on the bottom shelf,

00:41:46makeup and perfume on the dresser.

00:41:47Seeing my unwavering attitude,

00:41:48Lucien finally snaps.

00:41:49Evelyn, I don't take you as my wife!

00:41:50I won't allow you this room!

00:41:50All of you, out!

00:41:51All of you, out!

00:41:52Just then, the doctor brings in the medicine,

00:41:53reminding Lucien it's time for his dose.

00:41:55This reminds Lucien of his eyes again.

00:41:56He becomes desperate and volatile.

00:41:57What's the point of this medicine?

00:41:58Get it out of my face!

00:41:59Lucien's mother trembles outside the door,

00:42:00overcome with anxiety.

00:42:01I know my chance has come.

00:42:02I stop the doctor,

00:42:02take the medicine,

00:42:03and walk over to Lucien.

00:42:05Are you taking this yourself,

00:42:06or do you want me to feed it to you?

00:42:07Lucien freezes at my actions.

00:42:08He curses at me,

00:42:09calling me nothing but a pawn

00:42:09and telling me not to get ahead of herself.

00:42:11Lucien's eyes are unfocused.

00:42:12I'll take that as a yes to the latter one,

00:42:14just don't mind.

00:42:15We share the same bowl.

00:42:15Lucien is momentarily stunned,

00:42:17facing my persistence.

00:42:17He has no choice.

00:42:18He snatches the bowl,

00:42:19pinches his nose,

00:42:19and gulps the medicine down in one out,

00:42:20his face contorting.

00:42:21Lucien's parents are watching from the door.

00:42:22Lucien took his medicine for four years.

00:42:24This is the very first time.

00:42:25Lucien's mother rushes in and hugs you.

00:42:26Evelyn, you are the savior of the Grayson family.

00:42:27From this day on,

00:42:28you are officially a Grayson now.

00:42:29As long as you make sure Lucien takes his medicine,

00:42:30I'll give you a hundred million a month.

00:42:31A hundred million?

00:42:31Lucien's mother tells me

00:42:32she'll give me a hundred million a month.

00:42:33I truly never saw that coming.

00:42:34But Lucien's mother just smiles

00:42:35like it's no big deal.

00:42:36How about two hundred million?

00:42:37Also, from now on,

00:42:38you have to call me mother.

00:42:39I freeze for a second,

00:42:39then respond with a smile.

00:42:40Don't worry, mom.

00:42:40I'll take great care of Lucien.

00:42:42That night at dinner,

00:42:42Lucieno's mother sits at the head of the table

00:42:43with Lucien on her left

00:42:44and me on her right.

00:42:45Lucien looks impatient throughout the meal.

00:42:46I keep a polite smile,

00:42:47doing my best to play the part

00:42:48of a dignified newlywed.

00:42:49Mom, I'm finished.

00:42:51I'm going to turn in for the night.

00:42:52Lucien snaps his head up,

00:42:53shocked by how I called her.

00:42:54As I walk past him,

00:42:55he says nothing until I leave the dining room.

00:42:56You don't seriously expect me

00:42:57to share a room with her, do you?

00:42:58Where else would your wife sleep?

00:42:59Tonight is your wedding night.

00:43:01Lucien loses it instantly,

00:43:02insisting he'll sleep in another room.

00:43:03His mother calmly reminds him

00:43:04that he can't sleep anywhere else

00:43:05due to his dependency.

00:43:06Lucien's anger vanishes,

00:43:07replaced by pure despair.

00:43:08Even so, there is no way

00:43:09we are sharing a bed.

00:43:10That night, Lucien tosses and turns

00:43:11in a guest room,

00:43:12unable to catch a wink of sleep.

00:43:13It's my bedroom.

00:43:14Why should I give it up to her?

00:43:15The words have barely left his mouth

00:43:17when the young master comes forward

00:43:18with a long cane.

00:43:19He cautiously nudges the door open

00:43:20and creeps back into the bedroom.

00:43:21He came back to his room eventually.

00:43:23Back to his own room,

00:43:24and back to the bed where I am lying on.

00:43:27I'm sleeping here.

00:43:28I fight back, my sleepiness,

00:43:29and let out a small smile.

00:43:30Naked, Lucien freezes,

00:43:31his ears turning beet red

00:43:32from a mix of anger and embarrassment.

00:43:34It's fine if you don't.

00:43:35It's not like you're as good

00:43:36as my ex anyway.

00:43:37What's that supposed to mean?

00:43:38Without explanation,

00:43:38I pull up the covers,

00:43:39wearing a smug, taunting smile.

00:43:41I turn my back to him,

00:43:42feeling a sense of relief,

00:43:43because at least this time,

00:43:44I don't have to beg him to stay.

00:43:45Late night, we lie back to back

00:43:47under separate blankets.

00:43:48I fall into a deep sleep,

00:43:48and Lucien finally drifts off to you.

00:43:50But a moment later, in his sleep,

00:43:51he reaches out, touches my waist,

00:43:52and pulls me into his arms.

00:43:53Unconsciously, I lean closer.

00:43:54His lips curl into a faint smile,

00:43:55and for the first time,

00:43:56the hostility is gone.

00:43:57There is only tenderness.

00:43:58Early the next morning,

00:43:59while I am still asleep,

00:44:00Lucien wakes up.

00:44:00He whispers my name softly.

00:44:03Stop it.

00:44:03Let me sleep a little longer.

00:44:05Lucien breathes in the scent of my perfume,

00:44:06letting it pull him under.

00:44:07But suddenly,

00:44:08he seems startled by his own actions.

00:44:09He lets go of me immediately,

00:44:10rolling to the far end of the bed

00:44:11to put as much distance between us as possible.

00:44:12Still half asleep,

00:44:13I reach out and yank him right back,

00:44:14hugging him even tighter.

00:44:15Your medicine is on the table.

00:44:16Don't forget to take it.

00:44:17After getting out of bed,

00:44:18Lucien leans on his cane

00:44:19and walks to the table.

00:44:20He scoffs at the bowl of medicine,

00:44:21his expression dripping with pure disgust.

00:44:23I lie in bed,

00:44:23smiling as I supervise him.

00:44:25Lucien, I'm watching you.

00:44:26Lucien frowns,

00:44:26but he drains the bowl in one guilt anyway.

00:44:28I nod in satisfaction.

00:44:29I need him alive.

00:44:30I need him by my side.

00:44:31In the living room,

00:44:32the doctor examines Lucien's eyes.

00:44:33Lucien's parents are so nervous

00:44:34that their hands are shaking.

00:44:35Ma'am, there hasn't been

00:44:36the slightest improvement with Lucien's eyes.

00:44:37But he's taking his medicine.

00:44:38How come it doesn't work at all?

00:44:39Lucien hangs his head,

00:44:40looking like he has lost all hope.

00:44:42Mom, give it up.

00:44:42It's hopeless.

00:44:43I'm a useless cripple for the rest of my life.

00:44:45Seeing him so ready to give up,

00:44:46a surge of anger flames up inside me.

00:44:48You've only been on the meds for two days

00:44:49and you're already quitting?

00:44:50Lucien, you coward!

00:44:51The best doctors in the world said there's no hope!

00:44:56I grab his arm and yank him up from the sofa.

00:44:59Come with me!

00:45:02Where are we going?

00:45:03Lucien's mother watches us,

00:45:04her concern turning into a look of resolve.

00:45:06Perhaps now, I'm the only one

00:45:08who can drag him out of the darkness.

00:45:09And if there's one thing I'm good at,

00:45:10it's surviving in the dark.

00:45:11I lead Lucien into the study

00:45:12and stand behind him,

00:45:14taking his hand in mine.

00:45:15I guide him to hold a pen

00:45:16and write on a piece of paper.

00:45:17As the nib touches the surface,

00:45:18I lead his hand to help him feel

00:45:19the texture of the paper

00:45:20and the pressure of the stroke.

00:45:21Lucien remains silent for a long time

00:45:23before suddenly whispering my name.

00:45:24Evelyn, I know you were forced

00:45:25into this marriage, but

00:45:26why are you being so good to me?

00:45:28Before I can respond,

00:45:29a voice message pops up on my phone.

00:45:31Hey, Evie, it's me.

00:45:31It's Chloe's voice,

00:45:32deliberately sent to provoke me.

00:45:33Damien took me shopping today.

00:45:35He bought me everything I wanted.

00:45:36How about you?

00:45:37How's life with that pathetic blind man?

00:45:38Hearing this voice,

00:45:39deliberately sent to provoke me,

00:45:40I unlock my phone and text her back.

00:45:41Oh, me?

00:45:42My mother-in-law only gives me

00:45:43200 million a month.

00:45:45And my husband?

00:45:47He's younger and more vigorless than Damien.

00:45:49He's a thousand times,

00:45:50no, a million times better.

00:45:52Baby, come along.

00:45:53Let's take a photo.

00:45:54Lucien fixes his hair

00:45:55and stands beside me,

00:45:56drapling an arm over my shoulder.

00:45:57I snap a photo of us together.

00:45:59The moment I send the photo,

00:46:00I know exactly what I'm doing.

00:46:01I'm not just showing off.

00:46:02I'm striking back

00:46:03at years of humiliation.

00:46:04That's when Lucien takes my hand.

00:46:06He firmly declares his willingness

00:46:07to cooperate with the treatment

00:46:08for his eyes.

00:46:10I would like to see

00:46:11what you look like,

00:46:11if possible.

00:46:12At this moment,

00:46:13I suddenly feel like crying.

00:46:14So this is what it feels like

00:46:15to be treated with genuine care.

00:46:17On the 20th day,

00:46:18I bring the medicine to Lucien.

00:46:20Drink it before it's cold.

00:46:21Lucien takes the bowl,

00:46:22still grimacing

00:46:22as he drains it in one gulce.

00:46:24Suddenly,

00:46:25Lucien tilts his head

00:46:26toward the laptop on my lap.

00:46:27His gaze actually seems

00:46:28to find its focus.

00:46:29Evelyn,

00:46:30I think I can...

00:46:32You promised to watch

00:46:32a horror movie with me tonight.

00:46:33No backing out.

00:46:34Before Lucien can finish his sentence,

00:46:35he nods and agrees

00:46:36to watch the movie.

00:46:37In the home theater,

00:46:37as soon as the lights go out,

00:46:38the ghost haven't even appeared,

00:46:39Rhett.

00:46:39It was just the sound effects.

00:46:41I've already thrown myself

00:46:42into his arms.

00:46:43But Lucien's heart

00:46:44is beating even faster than mine.

00:46:46If you're this scared,

00:46:46you shouldn't watch it.

00:46:47Mind your own business.

00:46:48You can't see anything after all.

00:46:49The more I watch,

00:46:50the more terrified I get,

00:46:51and the tighter I cling to him.

00:46:52My hands start wandering

00:46:53around his waist.

00:46:54I might be blind,

00:46:55but I'm still a grown man.

00:46:56I suddenly feel flustered

00:46:56and practically bolt out of the room

00:46:58like I'm escaping.

00:46:59I'm not ready for that.

00:47:00Later,

00:47:00when the doctor comes for a checkup,

00:47:01Lucien finally admits

00:47:02that he might be able

00:47:03to see again.

00:47:04I think I can see now,

00:47:05but it's a bit blurry.

00:47:07Congratulations.

00:47:08Lucien has regained

00:47:09most of his vision.

00:47:10He'll make a full recovery soon.

00:47:12Standing beside them,

00:47:13I realize that the person

00:47:14I wanted to rescue

00:47:14from the darkness

00:47:15is really about to see

00:47:15the light again.

00:47:17Early the next morning,

00:47:17I wake up with a backache

00:47:18so bad that I want to cry.

00:47:20I can't help but grumble.

00:47:21My back is killing me.

00:47:22I feel like I'm gonna break in half.

00:47:23Lucien is chuckling,

00:47:24and he reaches out,

00:47:25fumbling to shut off the alarm

00:47:26that just started buzzing.

00:47:27Lucien fixes his eyes on me,

00:47:28looking like he has something to say,

00:47:29but is holding back.

00:47:30About last night,

00:47:30were you pleased?

00:47:32Hearing that,

00:47:33I wrap myself tighter in the blanket,

00:47:34my face burning with embarrassment.

00:47:36You look stunning in red.

00:47:38Your eyes!

00:47:39You can see now!

00:47:40Yeah, crystal clear.

00:47:41In that instant,

00:47:42my eyes well up with tears.

00:47:43I finally did it.

00:47:44I finally pulled someone back

00:47:45from the darkness.

00:47:45Evelyn,

00:47:46let's go get our marriage

00:47:47registered today.

00:47:48I'm shocked by his proposal,

00:47:49but I still stare at him,

00:47:50unable to let my guard down completely.

00:47:51You have to swear.

00:47:52You won't betray me or lie to me.

00:47:53Lucien raises his hand immediately,

00:47:55as earnest and eager as a young boy.

00:47:56I swear.

00:47:56I never will.

00:47:57I promise.

00:47:58Looking into his sincere eyes,

00:47:59I choose to believe him.

00:48:01A month later,

00:48:01we're having breakfast,

00:48:02when a sudden wave of nauseous hits me.

00:48:08What's wrong?

00:48:09Maybe it's the food I ate earlier.

00:48:11My hand rests on my lower stomach.

00:48:12I feel a growing sense of unease.

00:48:13I've been feeling nauseous quite often lately.

00:48:15Lucien's mother notices my concern

00:48:16and asks tentatively,

00:48:17Evelyn, your period,

00:48:18is it a few days late this month?

00:48:19Lucien and I both freeze at the same time.

00:48:21Get the doctor, quickly!

00:48:23After the exam,

00:48:24the doctor hands my the ultrasound report.

00:48:27Congratulations.

00:48:27You're one month pregnant.

00:48:29Baby, we're having a child.

00:48:31I cling to Lucien

00:48:32as tears of joy stream down my face.

00:48:34I'm going to be a mom.

00:48:35Meanwhile, Damien receives the news of my pregnancy.

00:48:37Lucien is blind.

00:48:38How could Evelyn possibly be willing to carry his child?

00:48:40Damien's face turns livid,

00:48:41his eyes filled with a sinister, crazy look.

00:48:43He barks in order like a madman.

00:48:44Evelyn belongs to me.

00:48:46Evelyn belongs to me!

00:48:48Take our men to the Grayson Estate immediately!

00:48:50I'm bringing her back!

00:48:52New news of my pregnancy spreads throughout the Grayson family.

00:48:54Everyone is celebrating this joyous occasion.

00:48:55Lucien's mother sits at the head of the living room.

00:48:56From this day on,

00:48:57Evelyn is the top priority in this house.

00:48:58No matter what she needs,

00:48:58try your best to get it done.

00:48:59No exceptions.

00:49:00You are carrying the future of the Grayson family.

00:49:01We will take the absolute best care of you.

00:49:02Honey, all you have to do is be happy.

00:49:03I'll take care of you and the baby.

00:49:04I nod.

00:49:04Smiling mother continues,

00:49:05saying that Lucien's father was overjoyed by the news.

00:49:06He's flying back from abroad overnight to celebrate

00:49:08and wants to throw us a proper wedding.

00:49:09We must have a real wedding.

00:49:09I want the whole world to see that you are mine

00:49:10and the happiest bride on earth.

00:49:11Meanwhile, Damien is in his car,

00:49:13gripping his phone tightly,

00:49:14desperately trying to reach me.

00:49:15Evelyn, I know I messed up.

00:49:17Please, don't leave me.

00:49:19My phone starts ringing.

00:49:20Damien's name is on it.

00:49:21Just as I'm about to answer,

00:49:22Lucien sees his name.

00:49:23He takes the phone out of my hand instantly.

00:49:26Hello?

00:49:26My wife is a bit busy right now.

00:49:27If there's something you need,

00:49:28you can talk to me.

00:49:29There's a dead silence on the other end of the line.

00:49:31At this moment,

00:49:32Damien's world completely shatters.

00:49:33Your wife?

00:49:34Evelyn, it's me.

00:49:35I know I was wrong.

00:49:36It's always been you that I love.

00:49:37Ah, so it's your ex.

00:49:38I'm afraid you're way too late.

00:49:39Evelyn is my wife now.

00:49:41She's carrying the Grayson bloodline.

00:49:42Damien spirals even further into a breakdown,

00:49:44lashing out inside his car.

00:49:45He's convinced that I must be being coerced.

00:49:47Lucien simply puts the call on smoother

00:49:50Honey, are you being forced to do this?

00:49:51Not at all, babe.

00:49:54Lucien hangs up the phone.

00:49:58I know that losing me is the price Damien has to pay.

00:50:02On the day of my wedding ceremony with Lucien,

00:50:04Damien rushes into the hotel like a madman.

00:50:05He screams my name until his voice goes hoarse.

00:50:10You're not on the guest list.

00:50:11Please back off.

00:50:11Hearing this, Damien snaps,

00:50:13grabbing the guard by the collar.

00:50:16Tell me!

00:50:17Where are they?

00:50:18In the grand ballroom,

00:50:19at the back of the hotel.

00:50:22You heard the man!

00:50:22To the ballroom!

00:50:24Meanwhile,

00:50:25I walk into the ballroom in my wedding dress,

00:50:26arm in arm with Lucien.

00:50:27Lucien's parents sit at the head table,

00:50:29smiling with relief.

00:50:30They finally live to see this day.

00:50:31Do you like it?

00:50:33It's my dream wedding.

00:50:34As long as you love it,

00:50:35every day from now on will be just as happy

00:50:36as your fantasy.

00:50:37The priest asks us to exchange rings.

00:50:40Lucien takes the ring box

00:50:41and drops to one knee.

00:50:44Evelyn,

00:50:44will you marry me?

00:50:46Just as I'm about to say I do,

00:50:47a roar from the entrance shatters the romance.

00:50:49Lucien and I turn at the same time,

00:50:51and the guests erupt into a frenzy.

00:50:54Objection!

00:50:55Damien crashed into my wedding.

00:50:56He strives toward us,

00:50:57radiating fury,

00:50:58looking like he's ready to tear apart

00:50:59the new life I've just built.

00:51:00He looks at me,

00:51:01his voice dripping with self-righteous devotion.

00:51:03Evelyn, thank God I made it in time!

00:51:05Evelyn loves me!

00:51:05She's not going to marry you!

00:51:07The guests start whispering among themselves,

00:51:09suppressing my rage.

00:51:09I call out Damien's hypocrisy.

00:51:11That love you talk about

00:51:12was nothing more than using me

00:51:13as a shield for Chloe.

00:51:15I heard everything you said

00:51:16to your grandma that day!

00:51:17It's not like that.

00:51:18I just,

00:51:19I had the wrong person.

00:51:20He suddenly brings up

00:51:21the car accident from three years ago.

00:51:22The man you saved three years ago,

00:51:23it was me.

00:51:24Chloe stole your bracelet,

00:51:25and that's why I mistook her for you.

00:51:26Evelyn, forgive me just this once.

00:51:27No, you still love me.

00:51:28You still love me.

00:51:29If I had known back then,

00:51:30I would have never saved you!

00:51:31I should leave you to die!

00:51:32Damien won't stop apologizing,

00:51:34but his behavior only strikes me

00:51:35as pathetic and absurd.

00:51:37I'm so sorry, Evelyn.

00:51:39I wish I had just died

00:51:40in that accident instead.

00:51:42Do you really think saying this

00:51:42can make up for what you've done to me?

00:51:44You used me as Chloe's shield.

00:51:45I was hunted by your enemies

00:51:45everywhere I went.

00:51:46Do you have any idea

00:51:46how many scars I carry because of you?

00:51:48For Chloe's sake,

00:51:48you forced me to wear

00:51:49a cheap, toxic wedding dress

00:51:50that left me covered in hives!

00:51:51You even staged a kidnapping

00:51:52and someone smashed a glass bottle

00:51:53over my head!

00:51:53Damien, is your life even enough

00:51:55to pay me back for all that?

00:51:56Heart broken.

00:51:56He grabs my wrist,

00:51:57desperate for some kind of penance.

00:51:59But sorry has never been a solution.

00:52:00I'm sorry.

00:52:01Lucien finally snaps.

00:52:02He lunges forward

00:52:03and grabs Damien by the collar.

00:52:04Look how you treated Evelyn!

00:52:05How dare you come back to her!

00:52:07While Lucien is ready to punch him,

00:52:09Damien suddenly calms down.

00:52:10He even starts talking business.

00:52:12Lucien, let's talk about business.

00:52:13The Vane family will take a 50% cut

00:52:15in our partnership profits.

00:52:16Just give Evelyn back to me.

00:52:17The guests are in shock.

00:52:18A 50% cut represents billions,

00:52:20even trillions in power.

00:52:20Why would he do that?

00:52:21But all I hear is one thing.

00:52:22To him, I'm still nothing but a business.

00:52:24Lucien's face darkens instantly.

00:52:26He lets go of the collar

00:52:27and slams his fist into Damien's face.

00:52:28Let me tell you something, Damien.

00:52:29Evelyn is my wife.

00:52:30She's not a tool for your profit.

00:52:31You better get the hell out of here

00:52:32before I really lose it.

00:52:33Damien wipes the blood

00:52:34from the corner of his mouth.

00:52:35But he only looks at me with his mouth.

00:52:36But I'm the one Evelyn's in love with.

00:52:39I read your diary.

00:52:40You said you would love me forever.

00:52:42Now between Lucien and me,

00:52:43who do you choose?

00:52:44For a split second,

00:52:45my heart actually flutters.

00:52:46Not because I love him,

00:52:47but because that diary

00:52:48contains my most foolish,

00:52:49most honest past self.

00:52:50I take a deep breath

00:52:51and walk toward Lucien.

00:52:52I wrap my arms around his neck,

00:52:54stand on my tiptoes,

00:52:54and press my lips against his.

00:52:56Watching us kiss,

00:52:56Damien stands frozen,

00:52:58looking as if his soul

00:52:58has been ripped out.

00:52:59I've given him my answer by that.

00:53:01The man I chose,

00:53:01and the path I've taken,

00:53:02I'm never looking back.

00:53:04I take a deep breath

00:53:05and walk toward Lucien.

00:53:06I wrap my arms around his neck,

00:53:08stand on my tiptoes,

00:53:08and press my lips against his.

00:53:09Lucien is stunned at first,

00:53:11then he pulls me in tight,

00:53:11deepening the kiss.

00:53:12In that second,

00:53:13Damien's eyes look as if

00:53:14his soul has been hollowed out.

00:53:15As the kiss ends,

00:53:15I reach up to straighten Lucien's bow tie.

00:53:17Lucien's mother rushes over to Damien

00:53:18and grenades him,

00:53:19telling him to stop humiliating himself.

00:53:20Lucien's father gives a stern warning as well.

00:53:22She is our daughter-in-law

00:53:22of the Grayson family.

00:53:23If you keep this up,

00:53:24I can't guarantee your safety.

00:53:26I'm the one you love!

00:53:27Why are you choosing Lucien?

00:53:33Because...

00:53:34I'm done with you.

00:53:35Lucien shoves Damien away.

00:53:36Damien stumbles back

00:53:37and is pushed right off the stage.

00:53:38He collapses onto the red carpet,

00:53:40still raising his hand

00:53:41to swear his love

00:53:41and beg for forgiveness.

00:53:42I found someone who truly loves me.

00:53:44See you never.

00:53:46But just as I turn around,

00:53:47Damien picks up a small knife

00:53:48from the floor

00:53:48and stabs Lucien.

00:53:52Lucien instantly grabs Damien's wrist

00:53:54and knocks him down with a punch.

00:53:55Blood trickles from the corner

00:53:56of Damien's mouth,

00:53:57but his laughter only grows more manic.

00:53:59Damien lies on the ground,

00:54:00still laughing,

00:54:01looking up at us

00:54:01as if admiring his own masterpiece.

00:54:03The wound isn't fatal,

00:54:04but the blade is coated

00:54:05with a deadly poison.

00:54:06Without the antidote,

00:54:06Lucien will be dead within seven days.

00:54:08Is there a doctor in the house?

00:54:09Call an ambulance!

00:54:10Lucien's parents support him,

00:54:11frantically calling for a doctor.

00:54:12I rush over and snatch the knife,

00:54:13pressing the tip against Damien's throat,

00:54:14though my hands are shaking.

00:54:16Give him the antidote!

00:54:17Now!

00:54:17Or I'll kill you!

00:54:18Go ahead, Evelyn.

00:54:19Do it.

00:54:19I'd be more than happy

00:54:20to dye your hand.

00:54:21I grit my teeth.

00:54:22Looking at the injured Lucien nearby,

00:54:24I have no choice

00:54:24but to compromise with Damien.

00:54:25I'll go with you,

00:54:26but you must give them the antidote.

00:54:28Damien lets out a soft chuckle.

00:54:29He pulls a small vial

00:54:29from his inner pocket

00:54:30and tosses it carelessly

00:54:30to Lucien's parents.

00:54:31Then he steps forward,

00:54:32snatches the knife from my hand

00:54:33and sweeps me up into his arms.

00:54:34Lucien's father tries to rush forward

00:54:35but is held back by the guests.

00:54:36Lucien, in agonizing pain,

00:54:37can only whisper my name.

00:54:38Without resistance,

00:54:38I keep my eyes fixed on Lucien.

00:54:43I'm sorry, Lucien.

00:54:45This time,

00:54:46it's my turn to protect you.

00:54:48Inside Damien's car,

00:54:48I sit in the backseat

00:54:49in my wedding dress.

00:54:50Where are we going?

00:54:51To the hospital.

00:54:52I don't believe for a second

00:54:52that you're actually

00:54:53carrying Lucien's child.

00:54:54In that moment,

00:54:54I realize that he never wanted me.

00:54:56He only wanted the sense

00:54:56of being in charge.

00:54:57In the hospital corridor,

00:54:58the doctor hands over the report

00:54:59and offers congratulations,

00:55:00confirming that I'm indeed

00:55:01over a month pregnant.

00:55:02Damien's face turns livid.

00:55:03He crumbles the report

00:55:04into a ball

00:55:04and hurls it to the ground.

00:55:06Congratulations, my ass!

00:55:07Get rid of the child!

00:55:11Over my dead body!

00:55:12You aren't laying

00:55:12your fingers on my child.

00:55:14That isn't just bravado,

00:55:14it's instinct as a mother.

00:55:15This child is my only flesh and blood.

00:55:17The doctor explains

00:55:18that due to my previous

00:55:19severe injuries,

00:55:20if I abort this child,

00:55:21I might never be able

00:55:21to conceive again.

00:55:23Damien falls silent

00:55:23for a moment.

00:55:24He unexpectedly changes his mind,

00:55:26agreeing to keep the baby.

00:55:27He even plans to raise

00:55:28the child as his own,

00:55:29making the baby the heir

00:55:30to the entire Vane family fortune.

00:55:32Evelyn, can we start over?

00:55:34The damage already done.

00:55:35It can't be fixed.

00:55:36Believe me,

00:55:37I can make it up to you.

00:55:39Damien takes me back

00:55:40to the Vane estate.

00:55:41He says everything has been

00:55:42decorated according to my taste

00:55:42and asks if I like it.

00:55:43I cast a cold glance

00:55:44over the luxury items.

00:55:45Why are there no blue roses?

00:55:46Chloe's favorite.

00:55:46I remember you brought them

00:55:47every single date for three years.

00:55:48Such touching dedication.

00:55:49Damien's smile freezes,

00:55:51but I only feel more disgusted.

00:55:53I finally say the words

00:55:54I've been holding back

00:55:54for far too long.

00:55:56Every single second

00:55:56I spend with you

00:55:58makes me want to vomit.

00:55:59I shove Damien's hand away

00:56:01and turn to leave.

00:56:02But he calls out from behind,

00:56:04his voice a low plea

00:56:05for a chance to make amends.

00:56:06I want to make amends.

00:56:07Damien signals his assistant

00:56:08to bring something.

00:56:10A plastic crate is placed

00:56:11in front of me,

00:56:12filled with empty glass bottles.

00:56:13At that moment,

00:56:14my stomach cherms

00:56:14not from morning sickness,

00:56:16but from the memories

00:56:16surging through my mind.

00:56:17Damien leans over,

00:56:18takes out a bottle,

00:56:19and hands it to me.

00:56:22I smashed two bottles

00:56:23over your head,

00:56:23I will let you smash

00:56:24twenty over mine, okay?

00:56:25I have no desire

00:56:26to even acknowledge him.

00:56:27Seeing my silence,

00:56:28Damien actually drops

00:56:29to one knee, pleading.

00:56:30Looking at him,

00:56:31I only feel a sense of irony.

00:56:32He used to be able

00:56:33to have me kidnapped

00:56:33and thrown into a warehouse

00:56:34in a single word.

00:56:35Now he thinks he can buy

00:56:36my forgiveness just by kneeling?

00:56:37I think I do not have the gun to.

00:56:39I reach into the crate,

00:56:40pick up a bottle,

00:56:40and slowly raise it.

00:56:41As the bottle comes down,

00:56:42there is a sharp shattering sound.

00:56:44Damien's body jolts,

00:56:45and blood begins

00:56:46to seep in from his forehead.

00:56:47So this is how much it hurts?

00:56:49It is.

00:56:51Back then,

00:56:51I had just been discharged

00:56:52from the hospital

00:56:52after taking a knife for Chloe.

00:56:54My wounds had not even healed

00:56:55when you punished me

00:56:56for her sake.

00:56:56I pick up another bottle

00:56:57and smash it violently

00:56:58at his feet.

00:56:59Shards of glass fly everywhere.

00:57:00He flinches as instinctively.

00:57:01What?

00:57:02Want to hit me back?

00:57:04Nineteen ago,

00:57:05I told you,

00:57:05I would pay you back.

00:57:07I look him,

00:57:07but do not continue

00:57:07the punishment.

00:57:08I am not as despicable

00:57:09as he is.

00:57:11I do not need

00:57:12to hurt someone

00:57:12to prove my love.

00:57:13The next second,

00:57:13Damien actually grabs

00:57:14a bottle himself

00:57:15and slams it

00:57:15against his own head.

00:57:17It does not matter

00:57:18how many bottles you smash.

00:57:19I will never forgive you.

00:57:20He looks at me in agony.

00:57:22I turn my head away,

00:57:22refusing to look at him.

00:57:23Damien continues

00:57:24to smash bottles

00:57:25over his own head

00:57:29until he finally collapses,

00:57:30unable to hold himself up.

00:57:31Boss!

00:57:32Stop!

00:57:34When Damien wakes up again,

00:57:35he's lying in a hospital bed,

00:57:36his head wrapped in bandages.

00:57:38Where's Evelyn?

00:57:39The assistant tells him

00:57:39that I'm still

00:57:40at the Vane estate.

00:57:41Ignoring his injuries,

00:57:42Damien immediately barks out

00:57:43an order to head home.

00:57:44In the living room

00:57:44of the Vane mansion,

00:57:45I'm sitting on the sofa,

00:57:46talking to Lucien on the phone.

00:57:47I love you too, honey.

00:57:49Damien,

00:57:49having just rushed back

00:57:50from the hospital,

00:57:51freezes at the door

00:57:51the moment he hears

00:57:52how I call Lucien.

00:57:53He charges over

00:57:54and seizes my wrist,

00:57:55his voice cold and threatening.

00:57:58Evelyn, that's enough.

00:57:59Evelyn shakes him off,

00:57:59trembling with rage.

00:58:00I'm on the phone

00:58:01with my husband.

00:58:01What's it to you?

00:58:02Listen to me.

00:58:04You are my wife.

00:58:05I don't ever want to hear

00:58:06you call another man, honey.

00:58:07Lucien is my legal husband.

00:58:09Who the hell

00:58:09do you think you are?

00:58:10Suddenly,

00:58:10Damien clutches his head,

00:58:11putting on a show

00:58:11of being in immense pain.

00:58:12Evelyn,

00:58:13I'm begging you,

00:58:13don't do this to me.

00:58:14It hurts.

00:58:14It hurts so much right here.

00:58:15I look at him,

00:58:15feeling nothing but numbs.

00:58:16The next second,

00:58:17Damien raises his hand

00:58:17and violently slaps

00:58:18the phone out of my grasp.

00:58:18From this day on,

00:58:19the madam is forbidden

00:58:20from calling Lucien.

00:58:21At that moment,

00:58:22I realized

00:58:23he never had any intention

00:58:24of keeping his word.

00:58:25All he ever wanted

00:58:26was to keep me caged.

00:58:27I sit in the living room

00:58:28while the servants

00:58:28whisper nearby.

00:58:29I heard the young master

00:58:30of the Grayson family

00:58:31is in critical condition.

00:58:32The poison is spreading.

00:58:33It said he won't last another day.

00:58:34Evelyn rushes over to them,

00:58:35her voice trembling.

00:58:36What did you just say?

00:58:37Good morning, madam.

00:58:37You just said he can't live

00:58:38for another day?

00:58:39Boss forbade us from telling you

00:58:40anything about Lucien.

00:58:43I turn and walk away

00:58:44with only one thought

00:58:45left in my mind.

00:58:45I can be imprisoned,

00:58:46insulted, or humiliated.

00:58:47But Lucien is the father

00:58:48of my child.

00:58:48He is my husband.

00:58:49He can't die.

00:58:50I reach the door,

00:58:50touch my stomach,

00:58:51and take a deep breath.

00:58:52Baby,

00:58:52Mommy is going to save Daddy.

00:58:53The servants exchange

00:58:54was behind her dead.

00:58:54Something big is about to happen.

00:58:55Yes, something big.

00:58:56Damien should never have

00:58:57gambled with Lucien's life

00:58:58to test my obedience.

00:58:59I storm into the lobby

00:59:00of Damien's company

00:59:00and head straight

00:59:01to the front desk.

00:59:02Where is Damien?

00:59:03Who are you?

00:59:03Do you have an appointment?

00:59:04You can't just barge in here.

00:59:05I pull out my phone

00:59:06and dial right in front of her.

00:59:09The next second,

00:59:09Damien walks in,

00:59:10dressed in a black suit.

00:59:11Are you an idiot or what?

00:59:12This is Mrs. Vane.

00:59:13Evelyn,

00:59:13why are you here?

00:59:14Miss me?

00:59:15I look at Damien with pure rage.

00:59:16I raise my hand

00:59:17and slap him across the face.

00:59:19The sharp crack of the slap

00:59:19sends a dead silence

00:59:20through the entire lobby.

00:59:21Damien,

00:59:22you broke your word.

00:59:23I'm shaking with rage.

00:59:24I'm worried about your hands.

00:59:25Come on,

00:59:25let's talk in my office.

00:59:26Too many eyes here.

00:59:27The crowd erupts into whispers

00:59:28while I struggle desperately,

00:59:29but his grip is steady,

00:59:30as if he's carrying off a prize

00:59:31that rightfully belongs to him.

00:59:32As soon as the office door shuts,

00:59:33Damien drops me into a chair.

00:59:35My back slams against the seat.

00:59:36My handprint is burning red

00:59:37on Damien's face,

00:59:38but he only looks at my palm

00:59:39with fake concern.

00:59:40You hit me so hard

00:59:41that your hand flushed.

00:59:42Does it hurt?

00:59:44Give me the antidote!

00:59:46Damien puts his hands

00:59:47in his pockets

00:59:47and slowly closes in,

00:59:49his tone playful yet sinister.

00:59:50Everything you did with Lucian,

00:59:51I'm going to do with you.

00:59:52Once we've done that,

00:59:53I'll give you the antidote.

00:59:54Evelyn,

00:59:54whether or not Lucian survives the night

00:59:56is entirely up to you.

00:59:57I burnt myself away from Damien

00:59:59and stumbled back,

00:59:59nearly losing my footing.

01:00:00Evelyn,

01:00:00do I really disgust you that much?

01:00:02My voice trembles with fury,

01:00:03but every word is crystal clear.

01:00:05Yes.

01:00:06Every time you touch me,

01:00:07even breathing the same air as you,

01:00:08it makes me sick.

01:00:10You loved me so much before.

01:00:12You couldn't have changed

01:00:13in just a few months.

01:00:14I don't believe it!

01:00:15Driven to the edge,

01:00:16Damien slams me onto the desk.

01:00:18He prisms me down

01:00:18and forces a kiss on me,

01:00:19trying to make me submit.

01:00:20Just when I think I'm being

01:00:21dragged back into hell,

01:00:22the door is kicked open.

01:00:24Evelyn!

01:00:26Lucian grabs Damien by the collar

01:00:27and hurls him aside.

01:00:28Fuck off!

01:00:30Lucian holds me close,

01:00:31comforting me.

01:00:32Lucian, how are you?

01:00:34I took a poison.

01:00:34Only then do I realize

01:00:35I'm shaking all over.

01:00:37Took the antidote.

01:00:37I'm all good now.

01:00:38Come on.

01:00:38I'm taking you home.

01:00:39I'd rather die than give you up.

01:00:42I drank that poison too.

01:00:44He points to himself,

01:00:45then to Lucian,

01:00:46like a gambler,

01:00:46placing his final bet.

01:00:48Me or him?

01:00:48I turn around

01:00:49and walk toward Lucian

01:00:50without a moment's hesitation.

01:00:51Lucian takes my hand

01:00:51and we walk out side by side.

01:00:53So you chose Lucian after all.

01:00:54The next second,

01:00:55Damien clutches his chest

01:00:55and collapses heavily to the floor,

01:00:56coughing up blood.

01:00:57Lucian and I leave immediately

01:00:58without looking back.
