00:00Seven years. I gave Julian Sterling seven years. All I got back was, I'm bored. He walked away.
00:06He went straight to someone younger. This time, I didn't cry. I took off my ring,
00:12cut my brand new wedding gown to pieces, and left London at midnight. His friends started betting.
00:18How long until she comes crawling back? Julian laughed. Three days.
00:22But I stayed gone. Julian finally gave in and called me.
00:26Sienna. Enough games. Come home. Mr. Sterling. Rule number one. Never leave a girl alone
00:32overnight. Someone else will step in. Put her on the phone. Now. A hand brushed my cheek.
00:39She can't. She's asleep. His lips brushed my ear. I'll have her call you when she wakes up.
00:45It had been seven years with Julian. I bought a custom Vera Wong gown in secret. Yes. I was
00:51going to propose to him. He'd never brought up marriage, so I was going to do it myself.
00:56I even had the speech planned out in my head. I thought if I was brave enough,
01:00seven years would finally mean something. That night, I was a few minutes late to the party.
01:06The door wasn't fully closed. Voices spilled out of the private room.
01:10Sienna? Come on. I got bored a long time ago.
01:13Julian lit a cigar. His tone was deadpan.
01:16Seven years, Tristan. Wouldn't you get bored too?
01:19The room erupted in laughter.
01:20Seven years? Even a superstar gets old. She is hot, though. Remember Julian's birthday? She wore that
01:27black Tom Ford slip dress? Every guy was droobling. So what, Julian? So you're really done with her?
01:32Do I ever bluff? So, if I made a move on Sienna, you wouldn't mind?
01:37Be my guest, if you don't mind taking my leftovers.
01:40More laughter.
01:42Man, you serious? Picking up his leftovers?
01:44I just stood there. Frozen. The dress bag was still in my car. The engagement ring I bought
01:50him was still in my purse. And inside that room, the man I loved was calling me leftovers.
01:55I didn't open the door. I texted him. He didn't ask a single question. That's when it clicked.
02:02It was over.
02:03Two days later, the rumors hit the Chelsea social scene. Julian was chasing a younger drama student
02:09named Lila. She was young, sheltered, and easy to impress. He chased her the same way he used to
02:15chase me. Throwing flowers, cars, and diamonds at her feet. Two days later, he showed up with her
02:22at our weekend hangout. When they walked in, the room went dead silent. The other girls looked at me
02:28with pity. What? Why is everyone staring? Julian pulled Lila onto the leather sofa. He finally looked
02:34at me. Sienna. Since everyone's here, let's clear things up. Go ahead. We've been on and off for
02:39years. It's pointless. My hands clenched into fists. Lila's different. She's young. Innocent.
02:46I actually care about her. I won't do her wrong. She deserves a real commitment. The room went even
02:51quieter. Seven years with me. And he'd never once said marriage out loud. I nodded. Got it. We can still
02:58be friends. Anything you need, I've got you. As long as you stay in the city. I almost laughed. I
03:03stood
03:04up. No. We're done, Julian. Let's make it a clean break so we don't confuse your new girl. Fair.
03:09Enjoy your night. I'll have the driver. No need. Taxi's faster. I walked out. A voice drifted into
03:15the hallway. How long this time? Two days? Nah. She looked serious. A week. Three days. She'll be
03:22back in tears. Same as always. She can't leave you. Everyone knows she's obsessed. I let out a bitter
03:27laugh. Obsessed? Maybe I had been. But that version of me was gone. Never again. Back at
03:34the penthouse. I walked into the walk-in closet. Six months of waiting for this dress. For something
03:40I'd never wear. I ran my fingers over the fabric. It was soft and delicate. A quiet laugh slipped
03:47out. I grabbed a pair of fabric scissors. Snip. White silk fell to the floor in pieces. Like
03:53everything I thought we had. I walked into the living room. Slid the diamond ring off
03:57my finger. Seven years. Reduced to one cold circle of stone and platinum. Then I walked
04:03away. I didn't pack much. Only the essentials. Clothes. Passport. Laptop. Everything else
04:10stayed. If Julian wanted the apartment. The furniture. The gifts. The memories. He could
04:16keep all of it. I scribbled a quick note. I didn't write goodbye. I didn't ask why.
04:22By then. He'd already given me my answer. I booked a late night flight to Paris. My
04:28best friend. Nora. Moved there last year. I needed an escape. Or maybe. I needed a fresh
04:33start. Paris was exactly what I needed. We went shopping and had afternoon tea. One night.
04:39Nora dragged me to a private lounge. Just old friends. Nothing dramatic. Drinks were flowing.
04:45Then. The heavy double doors swung open. Every woman in the room stopped breathing. Oh my
04:50god. Roman Mercer? You actually showed up? Did hell freeze over or something? Had a meeting
04:55nearby. Heard this was happening. Figured I'd drop by. His eyes swept the room. They locked
04:59onto mine for a split second. Then he looked away. Calm. Controlled. Unreadable. Which somehow
05:05made it worse. Men like Julian liked being seen. Roman looked like a man used to hiding what
05:11he wanted. Sia. He's totally here for you. I looked at him through a tipsy haze. He was
05:16taller than Julian. A black wool overcoat over a dark bespoke suit. Sharp jawline. Broad
05:22shoulders. I squinted. Then shook my head. No way. We haven't talked in years. Not since
05:27college really. He was always surrounded by people like him. I was just. Me. Nora ignored
05:32me. Roman. Could I ask you a favor? He looked over. We've all been drinking. Would you mind
05:38taking Sia home later? I don't want her taking an ubri alone. I froze. Sure. Thanks, Roman.
05:44Sia. Giving seven years to one guy is a terrible investment. Julian can fool around all he wants,
05:48so why can't you move on? And Roman Missal? Total upgrade. Oh yeah? Babe, trust me. I've
05:54dated 18 men. I know what I'm talking about. I almost choked on my drink. The way he's looking
06:00at you feels like he's already undressing you. My fingers tightened around the glass. Roman
06:05was still watching me. Roman drove me back to the hotel. The city lights blurred past
06:10the window. We stopped at the entrance. Thanks for the ride tonight. Don't mention it. I
06:15reached for the door handle, but Julian's mocking voice echoed in my head. Three days. Do
06:20you want to come up for a drink? Careful, Sia. You might regret that. Maybe. But tonight
06:25I don't want to think. I don't want to be the girl he left behind. His jaw tightened, like
06:28that answer cost him something. Like he hated that Julian had made me feel that small. I held
06:34his stare. Then stop me. He didn't. And the second they did, his hand was on my waist. His
06:40mouth crashed onto mine. My breath caught. The alcohol hit all at once. My knees buckled.
06:46I gripped his waist just to stay upright. Roman, there's a camera. He glanced up at the corner,
06:53spun me around to block the angle, and claimed my mouth again. At my door, I fumbled with the
06:58keycard. Last chance. Sienna, if you want me to stop, say it now. Stop? I wrapped my finger around
07:05his tie and pulled him closer. You already ruined my lipstick. He smiled. His thumb brushed my swollen
07:10bottom lip. Then don't change your mind later. We didn't even make it to the bedroom. He pinned me
07:18against the cold wall. The world narrowed to heat, breath, and him. A soft gasp slipped out.
07:24Roman, seriously? Sienna, I've waited long enough. His hands slid behind my back. His pace was
07:31relentless. Five minutes later, I could barely feel my legs. Roman carried me to the bed. I buried my
07:38face in the pillows, laughing softly. Roman Mercer, have you been a monk or something? He shot me a dark
07:43look. Busy. For how long? Years. Seriously? A sudden wave of grief hit me. Tears spilled over
07:50my cheeks. It wasn't even about Julian anymore. It was worse than that. For seven years, I'd let one
07:57man teach me that love could expire, and devotion could turn embarrassing. And now here was Roman,
08:02looking at me like I was worth choosing. I didn't know what to do with that. Hey. I shouldn't have
08:08dragged you into this. He caught my chin and turned me back. You didn't drag me. I came.
08:14This isn't fair to you. Sienna, you started this. His thumb brushed away my tears. So don't pull
08:20away halfway through. He leaned closer, forehead almost touching mine. If you choose me, don't
08:26hesitate. Day seven in Paris. My phone buzzed. A text from Felix. Sia, when are you coming back to
08:34London? Not planning to. Everyone misses you. Tristan's birthday is in a few days. Come join
08:40us? No. Send him my gift. All right. Just take care of yourself. Yeah? I didn't reply again.
08:47Felix slid his phone across the marble table. Julian, maybe you should call her. She'll listen
08:52to you. I stared at the glowing screen, crushed the cigar into the crystal ashtray, and stood up.
08:57Come back or not, I don't care. Stay there and rot for all I care. Hey, don't be like that.
09:02She's probably just hurt. Yeah, she even took off the ring this time. Maybe you went too far with Leela.
09:06We're fucking done! What the hell does she want? Listen carefully. No one contacts her again. I
09:12don't care if she disappears. All right, all right. No one will. Just calm down. You were in the hospital
09:17two days ago with a stomach bleed. Yeah? You never got this bad when Sienna was around. She's gone for
09:22a week, and you've already wrecked yourself. You were never like this when she was here. She kept you fed,
09:28kept you sober, kept your life running. Shut up! But that only made the room quieter. With every word,
09:33my face grew darker. Finally, I grabbed my coat and stormed out. The freezing London wind hit my
09:38face, but the fire in my chest kept burning. Seven days. Not a single call, not a single text.
09:43So this is a game now? Fine. I pulled out my phone and blocked Sienna's number.
09:48You'd better not come crying back this time. I won't care anymore.
09:52My phone never rang again. Later that afternoon, I was at my laptop, finishing an article.
09:58My phone lit up again. I picked up. See ya. Dinner.
10:03Instantly, the exhaustion of the day melted away. I leaned back in my chair.
10:07I'm brain dead. Fried a few million cells today.
10:10I'll pick. A French bistro? I know a place that serves this garlic butter escargot and you'll love it.
10:15I blinked, surprised. I used to love eating escargot. Messy little shells drenched in garlic and herbs.
10:22But Julian always said looking at snails disgusted him.
10:24So I stopped eating them. Then I stopped wanting them.
10:28You don't have to cater to me. I'll eat anything.
10:30That's what I want. Reminds me of that rustic little place near our campus.
10:33You used to order it all the time.
10:34You remember that?
10:35I remember more than you think.
10:37Alright. Let's do it.
10:39I'm downstairs. Come on down.
10:40The bistro was tiny and crowded. It smelled heavily of roasted garlic and cheap wine.
10:45Roman, in a custom Brioni suit and a Rolex, looked completely out of place.
10:49But he didn't care. He took a napkin and carefully wiped down my wobbly wooden chair.
10:54Polished my silverware with hot water. Poured my sparkling water.
10:58Wow. Your ex-girlfriend trained you well.
11:00Roman paused. He dropped the napkin, looking up at me across the cramped table.
11:05Who told you I had an ex?
11:07I blinked.
11:08No one. I just assumed.
11:10You assumed wrong.
11:11And for some reason, my heartbeat sped up.
11:14In college, wasn't there always a girl around you?
11:17She was a childhood friend. They grew up together. I thought you two were a thing.
11:21Elena? We grew up together, sure. But I never dated her. Never wanted to. She's like a sister.
11:27So, no one else all these years?
11:29Went on a few dates. Didn't work out. Ended.
11:31Why?
11:32Roman looked at me for a long second.
11:34Because they weren't you.
11:35That's it?
11:36I lowered my eyes.
11:38Sia, I won't lose control like that again.
11:40Like what?
11:41He cleared his throat. Even in the dim lighting of the bistro, the tips of his ears looked slightly flushed.
11:47You'll find out tonight.
11:48Later that night, he drove me back. I finally understood what he meant. My entire body was trembling.
11:55My hair was drenched in sweat. And my fingers were too weak to even curl. But Roman wasn't stopping.
12:00Roman, are you even human?
12:03He lowered his head and kissed my neck.
12:05Sia, tell me. Is this better?
12:08I shook my head, stubbornly refusing to answer. He didn't push. Just slowed down even more.
12:14And that was worse. Tears spilled from the corners of my eyes. My nails dug into his back.
12:21Roman, please.
12:22Now tell me, Sifa.
12:23His eyes were bloodshot with restraint. Sweat dripped from his forehead onto my skin.
12:28I shut my eyes. Couldn't hold it in anymore.
12:32Yeah.
12:32His burning hands gripped my waist.
12:35He drove into me with devastating force.
12:37Sending my mind completely blank.
12:39Right before everything went blank, I felt him lean in, close to my ear.
12:44Sia, if you like it, don't leave.
12:49Meanwhile, in London, it was Tristan's birthday.
12:51Sienna didn't go, but her gift did.
12:53Inside the VIP lounge, I sat on the leather sofa, smoking in silence.
12:57Half a bottle of scotch was already gone.
12:59Tristan opened the gift. It was a pair of vintage Cartier cufflinks.
13:02Nice piece.
13:03He quickly tried to put the box away.
13:05Give it here.
13:06Tristan froze for a second, then handed it over.
13:08I opened the box. The logo was subtle, but unmistakable.
13:12Put them away.
13:13I muttered, shoving the box back.
13:14Tristan let out a breath and reached for them.
13:16Suddenly, I grabbed an empty whiskey bottle.
13:18I slammed it against the marble table.
13:20Glass exploded everywhere.
13:21A deep gash tore across the back of my hand.
13:23Blood poured out instantly.
13:25The room erupted in panic.
13:26What the hell? Are you insane?
13:28That's bad. We need to go to the hospital.
13:29I stood completely still.
13:31Sienna would never buy Cartier.
13:33Everyone stared at me. They didn't understand.
13:35Sienna remembered details.
13:36Brands I hated. Scotch I liked.
13:38The exact cufflink style I'd once called tacky.
13:41If she'd sent Cartier, either someone else had helped her choose it,
13:44or she'd stopped caring enough to choose it all.
13:46Come on, man. She probably just picked it out randomly.
13:48Yeah, it's not like it's your birthday.
13:50Sienna used to plan your gifts months ahead.
13:52And everyone knows you meant everything to her.
13:54She still loves you.
13:55Still in love with me?
13:55The noisy room instantly fell dead silent.
13:58Julian, maybe we should call her.
14:00Or at least get your hand checked.
14:03Before I could stop him, Tristan pulled out his phone.
14:05He snapped a picture of my bleeding hand and sent it to Sienna.
14:08I didn't stop him.
14:09Or maybe I just didn't want to.
14:10The VIP lounge was dead silent.
14:12Ten excruciating seconds passed.
14:14Then Tristan's phone lit up.
14:16See? What'd I tell you?
14:17Sia still cares about you.
14:19Julian, look. It's her.
14:20I didn't look at the phone.
14:21I turned my head away, but everyone saw me relax.
14:23Julian, do you want to take this?
14:25I ignored him, taking a slow sip of my drink.
14:27Fine, I got it.
14:28Tristan answered the call and put it on speaker.
14:30Tristan, what happened? Are you hurt?
14:33No, no, it's Julian!
14:34Sia, you have no idea how bad it is!
14:36There's blood everywhere!
14:36He won't stop bleeding!
14:38Sia, you still there?
14:40You should come back.
14:41He's not listening to anyone.
14:43Tristan.
14:43Yeah? Yeah, I'm here.
14:45Sia, tell him!
14:46I don't want to hear about him.
14:47Whatever he does now, it has nothing to do with me.
14:50We're over.
14:51I mean that.
14:52Sia?
14:53And happy birthday.
14:54The dial tone echoed loudly in the opulent room.
14:56Tristan stood frozen.
14:58The room was dead quiet.
14:59I looked around the room, then smiled.
15:00Why so quiet?
15:01No one answered.
15:02What, all of you lost your voices?
15:04I said, why is everyone so fucking quiet?
15:07Julian, don't get worked up.
15:09Your hand.
15:09Yeah, it's still bleeding.
15:10Don't worry about it.
15:11I've wanted to say this for a while.
15:13What you did was too much.
15:15She's a girl, Julian.
15:16If you don't love her anymore, you should have ended it properly.
15:18Who said I wanted a clean break?
15:21Seven years!
15:22Even a damn dog would be more loyal after that long!
15:24Then tell me this.
15:25How many seven-year stretches does a woman get in one life?
15:28And what if she never comes back?
15:30Don't do something you'll regret, Julian.
15:32Across the room, Declan sat in the shadows.
15:34His dark eyes locked onto Vivian's retreating back.
15:36His wife of two years.
15:38Not going after her?
15:39Declan smirked, lighting a cigarette.
15:41Wife?
15:41My wife's on set.
15:43Won't be back till next month.
15:44Keep pushing it.
15:45Declan didn't respond.
15:46Vivian wasn't Sienna.
15:47Sienna could walk away.
15:48Vivian?
15:49She had too much tying her down.
15:50She wasn't going anywhere.
15:52Not even if she wanted to.
15:53After I hung up the phone, Roman wrapped his arms around me from behind.
15:57Sia, are you going back to London?
15:59No.
16:00And even if I did, it wouldn't be for him.
16:02Do you still love him?
16:03No.
16:03I'm not even that upset.
16:06Maybe I checked out a long time ago.
16:07Maybe the moment he did.
16:09I won't do that.
16:10I won't stray.
16:10I won't look at anyone else.
16:11I won't make you cry.
16:13Sia, be with me.
16:15But looking into those intense eyes,
16:17I froze.
16:18I gently pushed him away.
16:19Roman, I'm sorry.
16:21Why are you apologizing?
16:23I took a breath, steadying myself.
16:25I'm scared.
16:26I don't want a relationship.
16:27Not again.
16:28Let's just keep it simple.
16:30No strings.
16:31If you meet someone you really like,
16:33you can walk away anytime.
16:34That's easier for you?
16:36It's safer.
16:36For both of us.
16:38When I looked up, his eyes were red.
16:40He stepped back.
16:42A broken laugh slipped out.
16:43Sienna, what am I to you?
16:45A convenience?
16:47I didn't answer.
16:48I'm sorry, Roman.
16:49If this makes you uncomfortable, I'll leave tonight.
16:51Sia, you can't do this to me.
16:54He turned around, grabbed his overcoat,
16:56and walked toward the door.
16:57I took a half step forward to stop him,
17:00but my feet felt glued to the floor.
17:02As his hand grabbed the doorknob, he stopped.
17:04He looked back at me.
17:06He even forced a painful smile.
17:08Sorry, I just, I need a minute to myself.
17:10Give me some time, Sia.
17:11I'll give you my answer.
17:12The door clicked shut.
17:14I collapsed onto the sofa, completely drained.
17:17It was three in the morning.
17:18I drove back to Sienna's hotel.
17:20I got out, leaned against the car, and lit a cigarette.
17:22Windows glowed all over the building.
17:24I had no idea which one was hers.
17:26Less than two days.
17:27That was all it took for me to figure it out.
17:29Sienna had just crawled out of a seven-year disaster.
17:32Of course, she was scared.
17:33I pushed too hard.
17:34Maybe if keeping things undefined made her feel safe,
17:37then fine.
17:37I could leave without a title, because wanting her and not having her,
17:41I already knew that pain.
17:42The worst of it was a year and a half ago, right after graduation,
17:46when I found out that Sienna had moved in with Julian.
17:48Back in college, I used to look for her without meaning to.
17:51In lecture halls, at campus events, in crowded cafes,
17:55even in places I knew she probably wouldn't be.
17:57There was the problem with Sienna.
17:59Once I noticed her, every room felt wrong without her in it.
18:02I never made a move.
18:03By the time I was ready, she was already his.
18:05There was the moment I forced myself to let go.
18:08I let my family set me up on a few dates.
18:10Tried to move on.
18:11Tried to become the kind of man who could forget her.
18:14I failed.
18:15I crushed a cigarette under my shoe.
18:16The tension left my face.
18:18Something stadia took its place.
18:20If the girl I love had finally come into my life,
18:22and I still lost her,
18:23then I didn't deserve happiness at all.
18:25I got back in the car.
18:26This time, I wasn't letting go.
18:28The night before I planned to leave Paris,
18:30I went out drinking with Nora.
18:33Okay.
18:34Spill.
18:35How's it going with Roman?
18:36Don't start.
18:37Oh, I'm starting.
18:39Glow like that?
18:40Skin like that?
18:41Girl, he's been taking very good care of you.
18:44Can you not?
18:46I shouldn't drag him into this.
18:47I don't want a relationship.
18:49I don't want marriage.
18:50Sia, why are you punishing yourself because of your ex?
18:53That's not him.
18:54Is that fair to him?
18:56Look, I get it.
18:57But just because your ex was trash
18:59doesn't mean the next guy deserves the fallout.
19:01Now, you don't get to let Julian ruin this too.
19:03Not for you and not for Roman.
19:05Now, you actually think you don't deserve real love?
19:08Was that true?
19:09Seven years on and off,
19:11I stopped believing in anything steady.
19:13Started doubting everything, everyone,
19:16even myself.
19:17Why can't I deserve something real?
19:19Exactly.
19:21Do you even realize how amazing you are?
19:24I'm serious.
19:25You're gorgeous, smart,
19:26and you've always taken care of yourself.
19:27Any man would be lucky to have you.
19:29Stop letting Julian decide what you deserve.
19:31You deserve the best,
19:32not someone like Julian.
19:33Trust me, he's going to regret this
19:35for the rest of his life.
19:36Losing you?
19:37He'll never get over it.
19:39Now, call Roman.
19:41What?
19:41And cancel your flight.
19:43Don't think I didn't notice?
19:44You're running again.
19:47What if it ends the same way?
19:49What if one day he gets tired of me too?
19:51Then he doesn't deserve you.
19:53But that's not a reason to run
19:55before anything even starts.
19:56It won't.
19:57Why?
19:58A man who's serious
19:59doesn't lose the woman he wants.
20:00Do you really think Roman is like Julian?
20:02No.
20:03Then call him.
20:04You have no idea
20:05how happy that man's about to be.
