00:14i left the country for an arranged marriage i vanished from his world completely three years
00:19later my husband and i flew back stateside for a family memorial my husband had a last-minute
00:24work emergency so he told his local branch to send a car for me i walked out of the airport
00:29and froze my driver was seth my ex-fiance yo seth isn't that your obsessed ex isn't that vanessa
00:37see i told you guys i knew she'd come crawling back
00:42vanessa vanished without a trace now she sees seth is loaded she probably cries herself to sleep every
00:47night vanessa if you're gonna fake a random run-in why show up in sweatpants couldn't you at least put
00:54on some makeup without seth you can't even buy a nice outfit you look pathetic it was true i used
01:01to spend hours getting ready for seth full face of makeup tight designer dresses always making sure i
01:08looked absolutely perfect for him but i didn't need to do that anymore because i'm pregnant and my
01:14husband refused to let me be uncomfortable he banned heavy makeup and had this cheap loungewear custom
01:19tailored for me in paris listening to them mock me it suddenly clicked they only read the name on the
01:25corporate dispatch they had no idea the vip they were picking up was me since i wasn't saying anything
01:31vanessa it's good you're back seth actually spent years looking for you he asked about you everywhere
01:42chloe's kid starts preschool next week from now on you're in charge of the drop-off he was still so
01:48incredibly arrogant but i wasn't that naive little girl anymore i didn't want to waste another second
01:53on them i was just about to tell them exactly who i was i am vanessa please don't be mad

02:04you had to do to survive look at how run down you are seth wanted to make you my personal
02:09secretary

02:57tiny
02:57little misunderstanding if she hit rock bottom out there she deserves to suffer a little hearing that
03:03my heart actually skipped a beat after three years he still thought ditching me at the county clerk's
03:09office for chloe was just a tiny little misunderstanding the seth who used to love me was truly dead he
03:14wasn't the boy who carried me across town ignoring his own bleeding cuts but whatever it was all in the
03:20past none of it mattered anymore besides i'm about to give birth to my second baby anyway
03:29aren't you here to pick me up let's go

03:43who
03:43that is mrs vance is the matriarch of the vance family she is the actual wife of grayson vance
03:49grayson vance is a ruthless billionaire but he's completely obsessed with his wife rumor has it
03:55he stayed single for years just waiting for her everyone in the industry knows the rule don't try
04:01to kiss up to grayson kiss up to mrs vance she is his entire world listening to them gossip about
04:07my
04:07marriage i couldn't help it a genuine happy smile spread across my face we had been married for three
04:14years grayson's empire had only gotten bigger and his reputation as a fiercely devoted husband had
04:20spread everywhere to win his wife's heart grayson vance bought a custom diamond bracelet at christie's
04:26it's called eternal heart it cost 20 million dollars mrs vance is literally the most envied woman on earth
04:37that's the exact same bracelet
04:46it's a pretty good fake which broke delivery guy bought this for you buying you a cheap knockoff
04:52absolute trash
04:57wow it really is a high quality fake way better than the replica i bought but i'd never actually wear
05:03mine in public it's so embarrassing these overseas knockups hit different the weight actually feels
05:09real
05:12or what vanessa are you gonna tell us you're the real mrs vance are you the legendary billionaire's wife
05:23vanessa just sell this fake to me i'll pay you double what your broke boyfriend paid
05:29give that back right now grayson gave that to me shut your mouth
05:43vanessa do you have a death wish you think you can just casually drop mr vance's name
05:48are you trying to get me killed do you have any idea how hard we fought for this airport pickup
05:53grayson vance bought out seth's company last year our entire livelihoods depend on him now
05:58the only way seth keeps his executive spot is if we impress mrs vance and you're out here
06:04spreading psychotic rumors that you know the ceo are you trying to ruin seth's career i wiped the
06:09blood from my split lip my stare must have been dead cold because seth frowned a flicker of genuine
06:14panic flashed across his eyes vanessa you ungrateful bitch seth was kind enough to offer you a roof
06:21over your head don't push your luck i know you're bitter about the past but trying to sabotage his
06:28career out of petty revenge that's sick hearing her say that it felt exactly like three years ago
06:34no matter what i did chloe would twist it she would feed her poison version of reality to seth in
06:40the
06:40early days he used to defend me but by the end he always took her side just like right now
06:51you're such a jealous shrew but this time he didn't keep screaming at me then he pulled out
06:56his checkbook for the sake of what we used to be i'll let this slide take the cash go buy
07:02some clothes
07:02that don't look like trash if you really don't want a nanny chloe's kid i'll pull some strings and
07:07get you a decent job next week don't worry ever since the vance acquisition this kind of money is
07:14pocket cheese to me no thank you sir i don't take handouts from strangers
07:22i practically sprinted out of the arrivals terminal hitting the fresh air outside finally pushing down
07:28the nausea churning in my stomach my mind flashed back to three years ago my parents had been pressuring
07:33me into an arranged marriage overseas i fought them on it i could never marry him i begged seth my
07:40boyfriend of seven years to just elope with me seth agreed let's leave here but when i showed up at
07:46the county clerk's office he brought his childhood sweetheart chloe her child needs a legal father
07:52i will divorce chloe in a month then marry you he told me not to overthink it watching him hold
07:58her
07:58hand and walk into that clerk's office i'm completely done i flew overseas for a blind date
08:04that very night a month later i married grayson vance a year later we had our first baby and now
08:11i'm pregnant with our second honestly if it wasn't for grayson's family memorial i never would have set
08:17foot back in this country and i definitely wouldn't have bumped into seth three days later i showed up to
08:24the corporate gala alone wearing light makeup and my custom loungewear the second seth saw me his eyes
08:30lit up a smug smirk spread across his face you said you didn't want to come but here you are

10:45just because you see i'm rich now and you want to make me jealous

10:53seth you are absolutely screwed
10:57suddenly the entire ballroom went dead silent
11:01mr vane is here behave yourself and don't worry vanessa
11:05chloe and i are already divorced
11:07i stared at him rubbing my bruised hand
11:09this man was absolutely repulsive
11:11what did his divorce have to do with me
11:13at that exact moment grayson walked through the doors
11:16surrounded by a massive entourage of bodyguards and executives
11:19he was holding our toddler in his arms
11:21once they got into the ballroom my son squirmed to get down
11:24grayson set him on the floor
11:26the adorable little boy instantly captured the entire room's attention
11:29his nanny hurried nervously right behind him
11:32seth didn't notice who the kid was running toward
11:34vanessa if you stop acting jealous of chloe
11:37i'll forgive you for vanishing for three years
11:40i'll give you a chance to give me a child
11:42a child of ours
11:44i didn't say a single word to him
11:46i just looked past him
11:47trying to catch grayson and my son's eyes through the crowd
11:50and then it happened
11:52grayson followed the toddler's clumsy little footsteps
11:55right up to where i was standing
11:59the second my little boy saw me
12:01he panicked
12:02he threw himself into my arms
12:04mommy
12:05who hurt you
12:06why is there so much blood
12:08the word mommy echoed through the silent room
12:10the executives who had just watched me get assaulted
12:13stared at me in absolute horror
12:15my son's warm hug instantly washed away my disgust
12:18mommy's fine baby
12:19he grabbed my bleeding hand and gently blew on the torn skin
12:22tears welled up in his eyes
12:24mommy who dared to do this to you
12:26before i could comfort him
12:28the air in the room suddenly turned freezing cold
12:30a heavy suffocating pressure washed over the crowd
12:33grayson was walking toward us
12:35the sea of terrified executives parted for him
12:37ever since i got pregnant with our second baby
12:39he had been insanely overprotective
12:41glued to my side 24 7
12:43i instantly regretted flying back ahead of him
12:46i picked up our son and turned around
12:48the bright red blood dripping down my wrist
12:50stood out starkly against my son's white shirt
12:53daddy someone bullied mommy
12:55we have to get revenge
12:57grayson stepped forward and gently took my bleeding wrist
13:00his face was terrifyingly dark
13:02vanessa
13:03what is this
13:06seeing this ruthless billionaire turn into a fiercely protective husband made my heart melt
13:10he was so protective
13:11a mosquito bite
13:13a tiny mark from sleep
13:14even just half a spoon less
13:16he's instantly worried
13:17but i loved how intensely he cared about me
13:20the ballroom lights were heavily dimmed
13:22but our son felt something hard under his shoe
13:24he bent down and picked up the massive center sapphire from my broken bracelet
13:28daddy
13:28isn't this the present you gave mommy
13:31grayson took the sapphire and flipped it over
13:33seeing his own engraved initials
13:35he looked at the crushed diamonds on the floor
13:38then at my mangled wrist
13:40his hand ripped the armrest of a nearby chair so hard
13:42the metal literally deformed under his grip
13:45frustrated by the shadows
13:46he gently forced me into the chair
13:49turn on every single light in this room
13:52when our eyes met
13:53his pupils narrowed slightly
13:54what happened to your face
13:55they actually dared to do this to you
13:56i'm fine
13:57vanessa i am your husband
13:58you never have to just swallow this kind of abuse
14:01no one bullies mommy
14:02honestly
14:03i could have handled seth and chloe myself
14:05but maybe it was the pregnancy hormones
14:07we're just finally feeling safe
14:09my voice suddenly cracked
14:11all the built-up exhaustion finally broke through
14:13you weren't here
14:15they all picked on me
14:18the frat boys from the airport were literally shaking
14:21they were gripping the cocktail tables just to stay upright
14:23the obsessed pathetic ex they had been mocking all week
14:26was actually grayson vance's wife
14:28they were kicking themselves
14:29desperate to find a hole to crawl into and die
14:31but then chloe's little minion tiffany
14:34strutted out of the crowd
14:35vanessa where did you hire these two actors
14:38their acting is pretty good
14:39do you want chloe to get them an agent
14:44since you're clearly too broke to afford your own clothes
14:47i've got a set i've already worn
14:49if you don't mind i can give it to you
14:51so you won't make a fool of yourself
14:53tiffany had arrived late
14:54she totally missed grayson's terrifying entrance
14:56she was just chloe's lapdog
14:58dressed up to smag a rich husband tonight
15:00and she knew the easiest way to impress chloe was to bully me
15:04tiffany threw her head back and cackled at her own joke
15:06usually the frat boys would instantly laugh along with her
15:10but this time the entire ballroom just stared at her like she was suicidal
15:14tiffany noticed the dead silence
15:16but she doubled down
15:17she looked right at grayson and smirked
15:27his words made the corner of my mouth twitch in embarrassment
15:30she wanted to be a sugar mama
15:32to grayson vance
15:33i honestly didn't know if she was incredibly brave or just incredibly stupid
15:37anyone with functioning eyes could feel grayson's terrifying billionaire aura
15:41grayson actually let out a dark furious laugh
15:44if i offered to be his sugar mama he'd be thrilled
15:47but any other woman he would only think she was courting death
15:50over the years any woman who tried to throw herself at him
15:54was never heard from again
15:55or shipped off to some remote place and forced to marry
15:58tiffany finally realized the vibe was completely toxic
16:01she nervously stepped toward chloe for backup
16:04but chloe wanted absolutely nothing to do with her
16:07before tiffany could even speak
16:09chloe spun around and slapped her viciously across the face
16:12tiffany crashed hard onto the marble floor
16:14tiffany are you insane
16:16you dare offend mr and mrs vance
16:19do you have a death wish
16:23vanessa is mrs vance
16:25i offended grayson vance
16:27she knew grayson's ruthless reputation
16:30she knew he destroyed anyone who even looked at his wife the wrong way
16:33tiffany started shaking uncontrollably
16:36oh my god look at her dress
16:37every eye in the room dropped to the floor
16:39tiffany had literally wet herself in pure terror
16:42grayson didn't even blink
16:43he just slightly furrowed his brow
16:46two massive bodyguards immediately stepped up and dragged tiffany out of the ballroom
16:50seth and chloe's faces burned bright red
16:52even though tiffany was the one getting dragged out
16:54everyone knew she was just echoing their insults
16:57the elite guests stared at seth and chloe with absolute disgust
17:00like they were staring at clowns
17:02meanwhile grayson's on-call doctor was frantically cleaning the torn skin on my wrist
17:07i winced just a tiny hiss of pain
17:09instantly grayson and our son glared at the doctor like they were going to execute him
17:13you don't even know how to apply ointment properly
17:15i immediately shot my husband and son a stern warning glare
17:19instantly the terrifying billionaire and the fierce toddler melted
17:23vanessa
17:26they both looked at me with identical pathetic puppy dog eyes
17:32i let out a soft sigh
17:34guys the doctor is trying to help me stop glaring at him
17:38with my reassurance the doctor let out a massive breath of relief
17:41he finished his checkup and turned to grayson
17:43your wife is perfectly fine
17:46the baby is perfectly safe
17:48her wrist is pretty torn up though
17:50i'll use our best medical ointment to prevent any scarring
17:53grayson didn't say a single word
17:55i knew exactly what that meant
17:56that was his pre-explosion silence
17:58standing in the crowd
18:00seth looked terrified
18:01but underneath the panic
18:03he burned with jealousy as he watched us being close
18:05his possessiveness was peaking
18:07but his company's survival was on the line
18:10so he had to bite his tongue
18:11grayson stood up beside me
18:13looking out over the terrified crowd of executives
18:16he looked so lethal
18:17but honestly i found it kind of cute
18:20especially with our son standing right beside him
18:22looking like a tiny angry clone
18:24i want to know exactly what happened over the last three days
18:28if someone speaks up now
18:31maybe you survive this
18:34but if i have to find out
18:36myself
18:38every single one of you is going down
18:41it was a naked terrifying threat
18:43these people had fought tooth and nail
18:45just to get an invite to this gala
18:46none of them wanted to die for seth
18:49seth panicked
18:49he desperately stepped forward to save his own skin
18:52mr vance
18:53it's just a huge misunderstanding
18:55as vanessa's fiancee
18:57i was just catching up with her
18:58it was just an accident
18:59i froze
19:00he actually used the word fiancee
19:03right to my husband's face
19:04it was pure delusional arrogance
19:06he really thought i had spent the last three years
19:09staying pure for him
19:10waiting for him to snap his fingers
19:12so i could run back
19:13he completely ignored the murderous look
19:15crossing grayson's face
19:16crack
19:16i heard glass shatter
19:18i whipped my head around
19:19grayson had literally crushed his crystal whiskey glass
19:22barehanded
19:23blood was dripping down his fingers
19:26grayson
19:27i grabbed his hand
19:28completely horrified
19:29i spun around and screamed at seth
19:31seth don't flatter yourself
19:32stop trying to sabotage my marriage
19:35i think i've been way too nice to you
19:37i only love grayson
19:42i grabbed a clean napkin
19:43and frantically started wrapping grayson's bleeding hand
19:46seth looked genuinely hurt

20:12his shamelessness really blew my mind
20:14grayson's blood was smearing onto my clothes
20:17but as i urgently pressed the napkin to his palm
20:19he suddenly started laughing
20:21a low genuinely happy laugh
20:23i glared at him
20:25curious

20:27grayson reached over with his clean uninjured hand
20:30and gently patted my head

23:23they would have stopped her
23:26leo didn't need you to take a fork for him
23:28he's a fierce little guy
23:30i finally caught my breath
23:31he's my baby
23:32of course i protected him
23:34i looked around the empty hospital room
23:36where are they
23:38maya's eyes lit up
23:40getting revenge obviously
23:41i wanted to go watch
23:43but your husband and your kid are literally terrifying
23:46so i stayed here
23:49is staying with me a chore
23:52vanessa you don't even know
23:53when i got to the gala
23:55you were already unconscious
23:58your sweet soft little boy
24:00he grabbed a fork and stabbed it right into chloe's hand
24:04i didn't even know a toddler could have that much strength
24:07and grayson
24:08he looked like the devil incarnate
24:11her voice dropping to a whisper
24:12grayson found out what happened at the airport
24:15he found out seth slapped you and broke your bracelet
24:17he had his bodyguards pin seth to the floor
24:20and he severed the hand that hit you
24:23leo just stood there and watched
24:25didn't even blink
24:26he's a terrifying little demon
24:28then they beat ses's face into an unrecognizable pulp
24:31but that wasn't even the worst part
24:33grayson found out chloe wanted your diamonds
24:35you love taking things that don't belong to you
24:37i'll give you exactly what you want
24:40the diamonds
24:41and my wife's leftovers
24:45chloe refused to eat them so grayson had her kid dragged into the room
24:49she was so terrified she started swallowing the diamonds
24:53she was half dead by the time she finished
24:56then grayson had her face slashed to pieces
25:00right in front of her he had her son's tendons in his hands cut and he had her dumped into
25:05the open sea
25:08i stared at maya completely stunned
25:11what about the executives
25:12oh grayson handled them too
25:14every single person who stood there and watched you get bullied
25:18grayson had their wrists sliced open
25:20just enough to leave a permanent ugly scar
25:23to punish them for just standing by
25:25if i wasn't your best friend i probably would have gotten sliced too
25:28she fake wiped a tear
25:30trying to make me laugh
25:31i just rolled my eyes at her
25:33the media was there
25:34but no one dared to report the blood
25:37the news just said seth's company went bankrupt overnight
25:41any executive who didn't help you
25:44their overseas markets are being actively dismantled by vance corp
25:48right now grayson and leo are hunting seth down
25:51he was supposed to be thrown with chloe
25:54but apparently they made some sick deal
25:57chloe threw herself at the bodyguards to buy him time
26:04and seth ran
26:07maya and i both knew how seth escaped
26:09it was obvious
26:10he used chloe's kit as leverage
26:13chloe had swallowed a stomach full of raw diamonds
26:15she was half dead
26:17her only remaining tie to the world was her son
26:20so she threw herself at the bodyguards to let seth run
26:23grayson's revenge had been absolutely brutal
26:25but honestly
26:26i wasn't scared of him at all
26:28i was just worried that our sweet toddler was led astray by him
26:33mommy you're awake
26:36i'm okay grayson leo did daddy yell at you while i was asleep
26:40no daddy didn't yell at me
26:46mommy i'll never let anyone hurt you again
26:49it was all my fault i'm sorry
26:54protecting you is mommy's job
26:55i don't blame you at all
26:57maya eventually took leo down to the cafeteria
26:59leaving just me and grayson in the room
27:03grayson the doctor already taped it up there's nothing to see
27:07vanessa i promise you
27:08there will never be a next time
27:10i believe you
27:13you're the man i love the most
27:16i treasure my life because i plan to spend the rest of time with you
27:19hearing that the darkness in grayson's eyes finally broke
27:22he made me stay in the hospital for three extra days
27:25running every single test imaginable
27:27until the doctors practically begged us to leave
27:30on the day of my discharge
27:32grayson and leo went down to pull the car around
27:35i was zipping up my overnight bag
27:37the door creaked open
27:38the door creaked open i had my back turned
27:46leo grabbed mommy's hairbrush off the counter
27:48vanessa it's me
27:50i froze
27:51i slowly turned around
27:54standing in the doorway was seth
27:56his face was an unrecognizable swollen mess of purple bruises
28:00his arm was heavily bandaged where grayson had severed his hand
28:03he had somehow sneaked past the hospital security
28:06i gripped the edge of the bed my heart pounding
28:08after what chloe did i wasn't taking any chances
28:12seth saw me step back
28:13he immediately raised his good hand
28:15don't be scared i'm not gonna hurt you i just
28:18just what
28:19i snapped
28:19my voice laced with pure disgust
28:21i still love you vanessa
28:24i can't stand the thought of you married to another man
28:27i know you still have feelings for me
28:29we can start over
28:30i looked at him closely
28:32he was covered in injuries
28:33but she'd clearly fixed himself up a little
28:36he was wearing a cheap navy suit
28:38the exact suit i had bought for him in college
28:41the one he used to complain was too poor for his tastes
28:43i let out a harsh freezing laugh
28:46start over
28:47seth you threw me out of the clerk's office
28:51you made me a laughing stock
28:52and now you have the nerve to say you love me
28:55you make me sick
28:58chloe was pregnant
28:59i had to take responsibility
29:01you wouldn't want a kid to grow up without a father
29:03right
29:04you are so unbelievably shameless
29:07did that kid just pop up out of nowhere
29:09if you had kept it in your pants
29:11you wouldn't have had a random pregnancy to deal with
29:13you're still making excuses
29:15for cheating on me
29:16you're rotting trash
29:18why would i ever look back
29:20before seth could open his mouth to argue
29:22two massive men in black suits slammed into him from the hut
29:25they drove him face first into the hospital floor
29:28grayson stepped into the room
29:30his face darkened completely
29:35grayson stepped into the room
29:36his face darkened completely
29:39seth
29:40you really can't wait to die can you
29:42grayson whispered lethally
29:44he looked me over
29:45making sure i wasn't hurt
29:47drag him out
29:49grayson
29:50do you really think she loves you
29:52i was with her for seven years
29:53you're just my replacement
29:55you're just a rebound
29:57grayson stepped out into the hall
29:59and kicked seth squarely in the jaw
30:01knocking him out cold
30:02even after three years of marriage
30:04grayson was deeply insecure
30:05he always secretly believed i didn't love him as much as he loved me
30:09watching my husband's rigid back
30:11my heart ached
30:12as for seth
30:13i hoped grayson dumped him in the sea
30:17i stood in the hallway
30:19looking up at our massive framed wedding photo
30:21in the picture
30:22grayson looked at me with absolute
30:24consuming devotion
30:25but i was looking at the camera
30:27distant
30:28indifferent
30:29but over the years
30:30this man had completely stolen my heart
30:32i reached up to take the heavy frame down to dust it
30:35as i pulled it off the wall
30:37dozens of loose photographs rained down onto the hardwood floor
30:40i dropped to my knees
30:42completely shocked
30:43me in college
30:44handing out flyers
30:45me in the campus library
30:47me at my high school graduation
30:49he had been watching me for years
30:51long before the arranged marriage
30:53long before i even knew his name
30:55i heard footsteps
30:57grayson walked into the hallway
30:59he saw me sitting on the floor
31:01surrounded by his secret stash
31:03the color completely drained from the terrifying billionaire's face
31:06he looked like a criminal caught red-handed
31:08vanessa how did you
31:10he couldn't even look me in the eye
31:12i looked up at him
31:14and a teasing smile spread across my face
31:18if you liked me this much back then
31:20why didn't you just ask me out
31:22you made me waste seven years with that cheating loser
31:26i picked up a photo of myself eating a campus hot dog
31:29the lighting in this one is actually really good
31:32i love it
31:33grayson froze
31:35he looked at me in pure disbelief
31:37vanessa
31:37you don't blame me
31:39blame you for what
31:41for being a creep
31:43for stalking you
31:45shut up
31:46you're not a creep
31:48looking at these
31:49all i feel is how much you loved me
31:51terrifying grayson vance actually started to cry
31:54tears spilled over his lashes
31:55he dropped to his knees in front of me
31:57vanessa
31:59i never dared to ask for your love
32:01i just wanted to be allowed to stay by your side
32:04i wrapped my arms around his neck
32:06stop saying stupid things
32:08i love you the most
32:10my heart is completely yours
32:13i finally understood why he was so insecure
32:17i secretly hired a private investigator to look into his past
32:21grayson had been abandoned by his birth parents
32:23raised by a cold
32:25distant adoptive father who never showed him affection
32:28he was a total loner in high school
32:30people avoided him because he never spoke
32:33my senior year of high school
32:34i saw a quiet boy sitting alone on the bleachers
32:37eating plain bread for lunch
32:39i thought he was starving
32:40i had marched up to him
32:42unzipped his backpack
32:43and shoved a wad of cash inside
32:44listen up
32:45you're with vanessa now
32:47consider this your lunch allowance
32:50i just felt pity for him
32:51i didn't even know his name
32:53but i never realized
32:55that lonely boy eating plain bread was grayson
32:57because of his past
32:59he always felt unworthy
33:00he always felt a wall between us
33:03even though we already had two kids
33:05i made a silent promise
33:06i was going to spend the rest of my life
33:09showing this insecure
33:10sensitive man exactly how much i loved him
33:12i could not like to take it
