00:00I have a secret that I can't tell anyone.
00:04The day my mother died, she gripped my hand and whispered,
00:10Emily, don't hate your father.
00:14But I couldn't do it.
00:16Dad's affair had driven Mom to her death.
00:19I hated him with every fiber of my being.
00:23Until Victor Young slowly began to heal my broken heart.
00:28Then came the news of my pregnancy.
00:31At his urging, I forgave my father.
00:34From that moment on, I became Beverly Hills' most pampered expectant mother.
00:39Every prenatal appointment, the hospital corridors buzzed with their presence.
00:45Only on the day of my anatomy scan did they both conspicuously skip.
00:51Emergency project at the company.
00:54I'll have the housekeeper go in with you.
00:57Once I wrap this up, I'll bring gifts for you and the baby.
01:02Disappointed, I lay on the examination table when my phone suddenly buzzed that an anonymous message appeared.
01:10Everything you treasure is a lie.
01:12The camera freezes on her suddenly rigid face.
01:16What secret does this photo hide?
01:18In the hospital room, I tremblingly open the floor video from the message.
01:23In the footage, Dad wore a groom's tuxedo, standing beside Morgana Ashford, the woman who had driven my mother to
01:31death.
01:32Next to her stood an equally pregnant, illegitimate daughter in a wedding dress, arming arm with Victor.
01:41Congratulations, Mr. Hunter, on finding true love, and congratulations to Mr. Young on winning such a perfect bride.
01:51Your previous marriage agreement with Emily was fake.
01:56Her child will be born out of wedlock.
02:00Emily already has everything, while Isabella has with the stigma of illegitimacy since childhood.
02:07I won't let her child repeat that fate.
02:12I nearly collapsed.
02:15Then my phone buzzed again.
02:17A new message with a photo of a sterilization certificate and a line of text.
02:22Just nod, and the child in your womb becomes the sole heir to the Thorne family.
02:27I stared at the message in confusion.
02:34After leaving the hospital, I wandered aimlessly through the rain-soaked streets of Los Angeles.
02:40A giant street screen played a family interview from three months ago, the day I'd learned about my pregnancy.
02:48Dad held up a purchased diamond.
02:50This true love ring is a gift for my future granddaughter.
02:55The price doesn't matter.
02:58What matters is this legacy.
03:01Emily is my one true love.
03:05I'll spend my life protecting her and our child.
03:10The image froze on our smiling faces, with scrolling texts below,
03:15Los Angeles Happiest Family.
03:19Watching this sweet facade on screen, I couldn't tell if it was rain or tears on my face.
03:25My phone suddenly rang.
03:28Victor calling.
03:35Once, I would have answered immediately.
03:38This time, I hesitated, until the ringing nearly stopped, before pressing accept.
03:44Brove such a good actor.
03:45Two years of playing the loving boyfriend with Emily, all for the Hunter family money and Isabella.
03:51You're just jealous that you can't act that well.
03:54Emily's such a fool.
03:57Pregnant, without even a real engagement contract.
04:00Soon she won't even have Hunter Corporation, and she'll be kicked out by Isabella with her bastard child.
04:06Victor's icy reprimand.
04:08Cut through.
04:10Shut up.
04:11Who said you could touch my phone?
04:13The next second, Victor's tone softened dramatically.
04:19Baby, why aren't you talking?
04:24Are you feeling unwell?
04:26That gentle voice almost made me believe everything I'd just heard was a nightmare.
04:32Honey, the baby's kicking me.
04:36Baby, I...
04:37I have urgent business here.
04:39I'll come back to be with you later.
04:44My entire body froze.
04:46My fingertips ice cold.
04:52In the villa's living room, I sat on the couch, pale as paper.
04:58I don't know how long I sat in the villa's living room, before hearing the door open.
05:03Dead and Victor returned with gifts, all smiles.
05:08Swiss sublants for you.
05:11Build up your strength.
05:13Don't shortchange the baby.
05:17Sorry, I couldn't make the appointment.
05:21Tomorrow, I'll have the hospital director personally attend to you.
05:26Victor, is there something you're hiding from me?
05:29For the sake of when I jump from the second Daziel's window, and you broke three ribs protecting me, I'm
05:36giving you one last chance.
05:38Silly girl.
05:40You and our child are the most important things in my life.
05:45How could I hide anything from you?
05:47He leaned in to kiss me, but I instinctively turned away.
05:52Both their phones rang urgently.
05:54Dad and Victor looked panicked.
05:56Company emergency.
05:58We'll handle it in the West Wing's study.
06:00They rushed toward the study.
06:05Dad and Victor rushed toward the study in panic.
06:09Two brand new grooms' boutonnières slipped from their pockets, falling to the floor.
06:14Their discarded new grooms' boutonnières reminded me tonight was their wedding night.
06:20I suddenly spoke.
06:22Wait.
06:23They turned back, puzzled.
06:25I slowly pulled out a document from my bag and placed it on the coffee table.
06:30Victor signed without hesitation, smiling as he handed it back.
06:35As long as you're happy, I'll sign anything.
06:38I'm yours forever.
06:40I looked at the document labeled,
06:43Biological Father Voluntarily Relinquishes Child Custody Rights.
06:47Tears and laughter mixing.
06:50With this document, my child would have no connection to Victor.
06:55At the study door, Victor secretly glanced toward the living room, calculating coldness flashing in his eyes.
07:06I wiped my tears and called Nargos, my lawyer.
07:10My voice, ice cold and emotionless.
07:13Marcus, immediately terminate the trust agreement.
07:16Stop all resource allocation to Hunter Corporation
07:19and activate the asset isolation procedure my mother left behind.
07:25Miss Hunter, within 10 days, 70 yard of Hunter Corporation shares will be officially transferred to you.
07:33Your mother had arrangements in place.
07:36I leaned back on the couch, memories flooding back.
07:39After mother's death, I locked myself in my room and refused to eat.
07:44In protest, Victor fed me porridge, spoonful by spoonful, infinitely gentle.
07:51Emily, don't be afraid.
07:54Mom's watching us from heaven.
07:57I'll always be with you.
08:00Those words pulled me back from the brink and made me give him my whole heart.
08:04Only now do I understand how much calculation lay behind that tenderness.
08:10My phone suddenly buzzed with a notification.
08:13Victor and Isabella's intimate photos were trending.
08:17Captioned, true love for life.
08:19Together forever.
08:20I stared angrily at the phone screen.
08:24On the phone screen, intimate photos kept appearing.
08:28One after another.
08:30Young Victor, kissing Isabella, on a yacht.
08:33Holding her hand, through snowy landscapes.
08:36Each photo was captioned,
08:38Beloved Isabella, the honeymoon routes Victor and I had taken
08:42were identical to the places he'd once visited with Isabella.
08:48Sister, your honeymoon sweet sheets still have traces of Victor and me.
08:53Victor swears he holds you every night when he sleeps.
08:55Do you believe that?
08:56One phone call from me and he comes running.
09:00Her words made my stomach churn and I couldn't help but dry heave.
09:04Just then, the door opened.
09:07Victor entered with a bowl of pumpkin soup, eyes full of concern.
09:12Baby, is the morning sickness getting worse again?
09:18I spent all afternoon learning to make this especially for you.
09:23Looking at his hypocritical smile, I felt only absurd irony.
09:27My eyes held no warmth, only one chilling coldness.
09:36Baby, I spent all afternoon learning this from a gel-in chef.
09:40No matter how bad the morning sickness is,
09:43you need a couple spoonfuls for nutrition.
09:48You cancelled the European Consortium merger meeting,
09:51just to learn to make soup?
09:54For you and the baby, I can postpone any important matter.
10:01You're the most precious person to me.
10:04His eyes were full of expectation, waiting for me to throw myself into his arms.
10:09As before, moved by his thoughtfulness.
10:12But I just stared at his eyes, with undried tears.
10:16Seeing me unmoved, Victor was about to approach and comfort me.
10:21Victor's phone suddenly evaporated.
10:24The screen lit up with Bella Baby glaringly displayed.
10:29Shattering the silence.
10:31Victor looked at me in panic.
10:35Victor frantically hung up the call,
10:37and quickly hid his phone, behind his back.
10:41Spam call.
10:42Don't mind it.
10:44Quick, drink the soup while it's hot.
10:47It won't taste good cold.
10:52Spam call?
10:54Let me see that phone.
10:57Thunder suddenly crashed outside,
10:59and I instinctively carred under the covers.
11:02After meeting Victor,
11:04I thought I'd found my safe harbor.
11:06But now, tears couldn't help flowing.
11:09Victor immediately pulled me into his arms.
11:12Don't be afraid, I'm here.
11:15His embrace was still warm,
11:17but I felt ice cold all over.
11:20Just then, a servant rushed in frantically.
11:23Something's wrong.
11:24She's having a tantrum.
11:27Can't you see the missus isn't feeling well?
11:29Running around in such a panic.
11:32What kind of behavior is this?
11:35I'm coming right over.
11:37I watched his incoherent appearance,
11:40the coldness in her eyes intensifying.
11:44I didn't explode.
11:46I just watched him leave expressionlessly.
11:49As the door closed,
11:50all hypocrisy was shot out.
11:53Victor stood outside the door,
11:54hesitating for a moment,
11:56before ultimately picking up his phone,
11:58and hurrying downstairs,
12:00to drive away.
12:01He never looked back once,
12:03never even said sorry.
12:04I lay in bed,
12:06and after an unknown time,
12:07my phone suddenly received real-time photos from Isabella.
12:13Messy sheets,
12:14Vitra's bare back,
12:16and a fuzzy hair tie stained with unknown liquid.
12:19She showed off a chest tattoo,
12:21identical to Victor's.
12:23A final voice message arrived,
12:25breathing heavily with satisfaction.
12:27Sister,
12:28Sister,
12:28look.
12:29Victor only has me in his heart.
12:32You and your unborn child are just obstacles to us,
12:36an unwanted bastard.
12:39I clutched my belly,
12:41protectively,
12:42trembling,
12:43uncontrollably.
12:44My phone screen showed another message,
12:47from an unknown number.
12:53I know your mother's death wasn't simple,
12:56and I can help you reclaim Hunter Corporation,
12:58and revenge against everyone who hurt you.
13:01Only one condition,
13:03let your unborn child take the thorn name.
13:05My pupils contracted sharply,
13:08suddenly remembering the sterilization certificate.
13:11My fingertips ice cold,
13:13I tremblingly dialed the unknown number.
13:16You sent me the sterilization certificate.
13:19Who are you?
13:21Why are you helping me?
13:24And why do you want my child to have the thorn name?
13:27Who I am doesn't matter.
13:29What matters is that I can make Victor,
13:33your father,
13:34and Morgrana pay the price they deserve.
13:38The call ended.
13:40I gripped my phone.
13:42Flashes of my mother's tragic death,
13:44flickering through my mind.
13:46My expression changed,
13:48from grief to determination.
13:54The next day,
13:55the Willa Hall was decorated with lights,
13:58and crowded with guests.
13:59Today was my birthday,
14:01and also the anniversary,
14:03of my mother's death.
14:05But the hall was hung,
14:06with Morgana's portraits,
14:08not a trace of mother.
14:10Emily,
14:11Emily,
14:12don't blame Auntie.
14:13I just think this house should have a new look.
14:16Your mother wouldn't want you living forever in the shadow of the past.
14:23Enough Morgana means well.
14:26Stop sulking.
14:27You're embarrassing the Hunter family.
14:32Guests whispered among themselves,
14:34some murmuring.
14:35Mrs. Hunter was driven to death,
14:37by Morgana back then.
14:38Now the mistress has taken over the main house.
14:41It's too much.
14:42Emily is so pitiful,
14:44having to endure this on her birthday.
14:46Just then,
14:47Victor walked in,
14:48with Isabella on his arm.
14:50Isabella wore my mother's coming-of-age gown.
14:53I was shocked.
14:54That's my mother's dress.
14:56How dare she?
15:02Take it off.
15:04That's my mother's relic.
15:07A vicious woman like you doesn't deserve to wear it.
15:12Sister, I didn't mean to.
15:15Victor said this gown looked beautiful on me,
15:17so I dared to wear it.
15:20I'm sorry.
15:22Emily, haven't you caused enough trouble?
15:24It's just an old dress.
15:26I'll have ten,
15:28a hundred custom made for you tomorrow.
15:31Stop being unreasonable.
15:34Isabella secretly smirked,
15:36deliberately tucking at the gown's neckline,
15:38pulling off the pearl buttons.
15:40They fell to the floor,
15:42and she deliberately crushed them with her heels,
15:45instantly shuddering the pearls.
15:47I watched the crushed purrs on the floor.
15:51My mother's only keepsake,
15:52and rage instantly surged.
15:55I lunged forward.
16:01Just as I was about to touch Isabella's sleeve,
16:04Victor grabbed my shoulder.
16:06His grip so tight,
16:07it nearly crushed my bones.
16:09His eyes,
16:10ice cold,
16:11and piercing.
16:11Victor was full of disappointment.
16:14Emily,
16:15calm down.
16:18You're pregnant.
16:20Why are you bullying me?
16:22I'm pregnant too!
16:26The guests gasped,
16:28casting scornful looks,
16:30and whispering about me being spoiled,
16:32and tyrannical.
16:33Dad sternly scolding.
16:35Emily apologized to Isabella immediately.
16:38If your mother knew,
16:39she wouldn't allow you to be so spoiled,
16:42unreasonable,
16:43and jealous.
16:44The guests' discussions grew louder,
16:47some taking photos and videos,
16:49their eyes full of undisguised contempt,
16:51condemning me for being immature and intolerant.
16:55I looked at Victor's cold eyes,
16:57feeling the sharp pain in my shoulder.
16:59The last trace of tenderness and hope I had for him
17:02completely extinguished.
17:04A cold smile slowly crept across my lips.
17:11Isabella saw my cold smile,
17:13and the flash of malice crossed her eyes,
17:16her voice soft,
17:17but calculating.
17:18Sister,
17:19I know you're angry.
17:21Don't scare me.
17:22I'll take the gown off and return it to you right now.
17:28As she finished speaking,
17:30Isabella suddenly pushed hard,
17:32shoving me toward the meadow handrail behind me,
17:35while she fell to the ground,
17:37clutching her belly and screaming.
17:39Sister,
17:40why did you push me?
17:42I know you hate me,
17:44but the baby is innocent.
17:46If anything happens to my child,
17:48I'll never forgive you!
17:50My lower back slammed hard into the handrail,
17:54excruciating pain shooting through my entire body.
17:57Warm liquid seeped between my legs.
18:00My face turned deathly pale instantly.
18:03Victor and dad immediately rushed to help Isabella,
18:06showering her with concern,
18:08not sparing me even a glance.
18:13Emily,
18:14I've spoiled you too much.
18:15You need to reflect seriously.
18:17You're so malicious,
18:19you don't deserve to be a mother,
18:21much less stay by my side.
18:23From today on,
18:25you're not allowed near Bella.
18:27Stay in the villa and reflect.
18:29Without my permission,
18:31you can't leave or contact anyone.
18:35The group surrounded Isabella
18:36and hurried away to the hospital,
18:39leaving the banquet hall instantly empty,
18:41except for me.
18:42Blood between my legs increased,
18:45staining my dress
18:46and dripping to the floor.
18:47I tremblingly called the hospital,
18:50only to learn
18:50all my credit cards had been frozen.
18:53Looking at the true lovering
18:54rolling on the floor,
18:56I laughed through my tears.
18:58My phone screen slowly dinged
19:00as I collapsed weakly
19:02onto the cold floor.
19:03So this was what love meant.
19:06Training a canary in a golden cage.
19:09The luxury made me think
19:10I was a princess.
19:12But once I stopped being obedient,
19:14he cut off all escape routes,
19:16waiting for me to submit.
19:18I don't want this kind of love.
19:21A day later,
19:23I curled up in the attic corner,
19:25pale as paper.
19:26The abdominal pain never stopped.
19:29With no food or water around,
19:31I was too weak
19:32to even lift my hand.
19:34My phone suddenly buzzed
19:36with a notification
19:37from Isabella's social media.
19:39Intimate photos of her and Victor
19:41vacationing in the Maldives,
19:44captioned,
19:45With you and baby,
19:46life is perfect.
19:48Too bad some people
19:49don't even qualify for envy.
19:52Isabella also sent me
19:53a private message
19:54with a photo.
19:55Victor tenderly feeding her fruit.
19:58The background,
19:59their honeymoon suite.
20:01Identical to my honeymoon photos,
20:03with Victor,
20:04dripping,
20:05with mockery.
20:06I looked at the photo
20:07with eyes so cold,
20:09they held no emotion.
20:11No tears.
20:12Only growing resolve
20:14in their depth.
20:15I slowly crawled up,
20:17reaching for my mother's necklace,
20:19hidden under the bed,
20:21gripping it tightly.
20:24I gripped my mother's necklace,
20:27the mysterious male voice
20:29suddenly flashing through my mind.
20:31Trembling,
20:32I dialed the unknown number.
20:34It was answered,
20:36after one ring.
20:39I know you're in danger right now.
20:41You're life at risk.
20:43My people are at the villa's back door.
20:46Follow him,
20:46I can save you and your child.
20:52Who are you?
20:54Why help me?
20:56And my mother's death?
20:59Was it related to my father,
21:01Victor,
21:02and Morgrana?
21:03I'll tell you everything
21:05once you're safe.
21:06Right now,
21:08there's no time to hesitate.
21:11They've realized something's wrong
21:13and planned to eliminate you.
21:15The call ended.
21:17I heard light knocking
21:18at the villa's back door.
21:21Simultaneously,
21:22servants dad had sent
21:23began ramming the attic door.
21:26Their voices,
21:27vicious.
21:30I used my last bit of strength
21:32to crawl toward the villa's back door.
21:35The knocking becoming more urgent.
21:37The attic door was already cracking.
21:40The servants would break through soon.
21:42I tremblingly opened the back door
21:45to see a man in a black suit
21:46with an upright posture.
21:48Miss Hunter,
21:49Mr. K sent me to get you.
21:51Hurry to the car.
21:53Any later will be too late.
21:56I was helped into the car
21:58by the bodyguard.
21:59As soon as it started,
22:00I saw Victor and dad
22:02chasing out with servants.
22:04Victor's face was frighteningly dark,
22:07angrily shouting for the driver
22:08to stop his eyes full of panic.
22:11The car sped away.
22:13I leaned back in my seat,
22:14watching the villa,
22:15that cage,
22:16that had imprisoned
22:17and hurt me,
22:19grow distant.
22:20Tears fail,
22:21not from sadness,
22:22but from ultimate resolve.
22:27Mr. K wanted me to give you this.
22:31Hunter Corporation's share details.
22:37The board meeting in three days
22:39is your only chance
22:41to reclaim what belongs to you
22:43and begin your revenge.
22:53Ms. SS are being transferred.
22:55At the board meeting in three days,
22:57your father plans to sell your shares.
22:59Attend,
23:00and you can recover them.
23:02Fine.
23:02I'll definitely go.
23:06That evening,
23:07my phone,
23:08bust with news.
23:09Isabella posted photos
23:11of her and Victor's marriage certificate
23:13causing an internet explosion.
23:16So,
23:16Emily Hunter,
23:17was the third party all along?
23:19Three minutes later,
23:21the post disappeared.
23:22Victor's calls
23:24kept coming.
23:26I looked at Victor
23:27on the screen,
23:28lost in memories.
23:30Thinking of all this false affection,
23:32I swiped to hang up
23:34without hesitation.
23:35The action
23:36was clean
23:37and decisive.
23:38With my assets
23:39frozen
23:40and penniless,
23:41I could only stumble
23:42into a nearby run-down community
23:44hospital.
23:49Is she a runaway?
23:50So pathetic.
23:52Before I could catch my breath,
23:54several pregnant women
23:55there for checkups
23:56recognized me
23:57and surrounded me,
23:59their tones
23:59sharp
24:00and vicious.
24:02I hate homewrecking sluts
24:04like you most!
24:05How dare you show up
24:07at the hospital
24:07for prenatal care?
24:08Get out
24:09before you bring bad luck!
24:12They pulled my hair
24:13through objects at me.
24:15I desperately
24:16protected my belly.
24:18Suddenly,
24:19a bucket of cold water
24:21poured over my head.
24:22I was soaked through,
24:24hair plastered
24:25to my face.
24:28Utterly wretched,
24:30the abdominal pain
24:31intensified
24:32until I nearly fainted.
24:34Who is so vicious
24:35as to pursue
24:36a fallen woman
24:37to destruction?
24:42I endured the crowd's curses
24:44and mockery.
24:45Then,
24:46the phone rang Isabella.
24:48Emily,
24:49are you miserable?
24:51Desperate?
24:51Victor said that without him,
24:53you can barely survive.
24:54What a waste!
24:57I spoiled you for two years
24:59just to make you helpless.
25:01Waiting for you to come
25:02crawling back begging.
25:05Then I can control you
25:06however I want.
25:07I trembled with rage
25:09and despair,
25:10nails digging deep
25:11into my palms,
25:12drawing blood.
25:13Before I could utter
25:15a single word,
25:16the call was abruptly cut off,
25:18leaving nothing but hollow hung
25:19of the dial tone
25:21in my ear.
25:22The angry crowd
25:23became even more brazen.
25:25Someone raised a chair nearby,
25:27hurling it viciously at me.
25:29I have to teach you
25:31a lesson today!
25:33I have to teach you
25:37I braced myself
25:39as the chair
25:40flew toward me.
25:54Enough!
25:56Who dares touch
25:57Mr. K's person?
25:58Who dares call
25:59the Thorn family heir
26:00a bastard?
26:01Seeking death!
26:03No!
26:19Arrange a helicopter
26:20immediately

28:41Meanwhile at a Maldives
28:42private villa
28:42Victor was sunbathing
28:43with Isabella
28:44patiently soothing her tears
28:46while his face showed
28:46clear impatience
28:47beneath forced tenderness.
28:49Emily remained in his heart.
28:50Victor.

28:52Emily, okay?
