00:01the day my family went bankrupt my dad was desperate he tried to kill himself
00:08i dragged him off the roof and i said yes to gran blake with one condition
00:15two million two million and i will be yours he went quiet for a moment
00:22deal six months after the wedding he brought his mistress home right into our house i was
00:28about to lose it he threw the prenup in my face don't forget your place you sold yourself remember
00:36he looked me over like i was nothing i clenched my fists my nails cut into my palms but i
00:44couldn't
00:44argue then came the day i started bleeding the doctor said it was a threatened miscarriage
00:51i stood at the counter counting every dollar i was 14 bucks short just 14 i called graham
00:59his voice came through sharp and bored didn't i already pay you off before the wedding
01:09what you insist on being a gold digger
01:14that same day he dropped 14 million on a necklace for vera freda his latest date
01:20ma'am do you want the medication or not i held back my tears and forced a smile
01:26no meds please schedule the abortion a marriage bought for two million had come to an end over 14
01:33i got a message right after i said it bank deposit 14 i let out a weak laugh 14 covered
01:42the prescription
01:43not the abortion i knew graham would not send another dime so i texted some old friends asking
01:50for 317 it would be just enough enough for the cheapest procedure oh wow sienna blake is broke now
01:58if you hadn't shaken graham down maybe you wouldn't be begging for pocket change more came in one after
02:03another mean but predictable i had heard it all before gold digger leech paid wife i was used to it
02:12but used to graham treating our marriage like a deal at first i thought i could cover my own bills
02:18maybe even save up two million and pay him back one day dot but graham shut every door dot
02:23i bought the rest of your life your time is mine your freedom is mine so he cut off every
02:29way i could
02:29make money no company would hire me he wanted me to beg that was how he punished me because he
02:37thought
02:37i had turned our relationship into a cash deal i tried to explain more than once but he never let
02:44me
02:44finish my phone buzzed again someone sent me 371 dollars the note said here consider it a tip
02:53dragging you was fun i wiped my face then i looked at the nurse please schedule the procedure
02:59but i still did not have enough ranesthesia so i lay there awake flat on a cold table
03:07i felt everything the metal going in the scraping and the pain tore through me i thought of graham
03:15of the way he used to hold me his hand on my head his voice soft but when i got
03:22pregnant this is what
03:23he said instead when we get married we'll have a baby i'll love you both with my life but when
03:30i got
03:31pregnant this is what he said instead go ahead how much are you asking for this time no more graham
03:37i don't want your money i don't want your love and i don't want you i didn't know when the
03:43procedure
03:43ended i just lay there hollow and bleeding i stared out the clinic window the sky was dark my tears
03:51kept
03:52falling then a firework shot up thought the whole city lit up the sky was bright as daylight a few
03:59nurses
04:00nearby started whispering did you hear mr blake set this up for the woman he loves god she's lucky
04:07loves please he has a wife but i heard the wife's just a gold digger now she ranks below the
04:15house
04:15staff on the way home i could barely walk dot an empty cab slowed beside me
04:23where to i forced a weak smile i'm fine i wasn't fine i just couldn't afford the ride
04:33that was unreal if a man did that for me i could die happy in your dreams not everyone gets
04:39a guy
04:39like graham blake people were still talking about the fireworks from tonight i had my fireworks
04:50behind him fireworks slid up the sky brighter than anything i saw tonight but that same night
04:58i just pulled my father off a rooftop the men he owed were inside our house threatening my mother
05:04threatening my seven-year-old sister i had no choice thought so instead of saying yes i looked at him
05:12and said graham can you lend me two million dollars his face changed on the spot the warmth
05:20drained from his eyes he stood up slowly people said you were with me for money i didn't believe
05:27them sienna hale you really played this well you waited until i proposed until everyone was watching
05:36then you showed me who you are he lifted one hand the fireworks stopped then he pulled out a check
05:45signed it and threw it in my face well you're cheaper than i thought no matter how hard i tried
05:54to explain i was still the gold digger i became a joke in his whole social circle i kept waiting
06:00for
06:00him to calm down to finally hear me out but i couldn't bear it when i saw another girl on
06:06his arm
06:07at that time he just looked at me and asked what exactly gives you the right to be mad
06:12my heart broke right there and still i couldn't fight back and now i had walked six hours to get

08:01out i held onto the wall and slowly sank onto the front steps the wind cut through my collar
08:09right into my skin then i heard the door open
08:16are you insane you couldn't find somewhere warm what is this some pity stunt he sounded mad
08:23then strong arms wrapped around me warm solid it had to be a dream graham hated me he wouldn't worry
08:32about me i don't know how long i was out when i opened my eyes graham was there his face
08:38was dark

08:53froze to death outside the blake house while pregnant he looked at me was disgust i opened my mouth
09:00i wanted to fight back but my throat was raw every word burned
09:07where's the family doctor what's taking so long don't let her die in my house
09:11tears slid down my face what do you want from me graham you're the one who wanted me gone
09:18but why do you sound scared now i shut my eyes graham
09:24let's get divorced his head snapped toward me
09:28then he laughed divorce fine he took one step closer pay back the two million then i'll sign
09:35then he paused like something clicked oh i get it now you think carrying my kid means you get one
09:42more payday that was it i couldn't hold it in anymore
09:48our baby is already i never got to finish the sound of gagging came from outside the room
09:55vera at the same moment the family doctor rushed in mr blake miss fredda is most likely pregnant
10:03something inside me collapsed on the spot after vera found out she was pregnant
10:09she moved in a few days later we were at dinner vera suddenly sat down her spoon i want potato
10:17leek soup there was already creamy mushroom soup on the table ram looked at me you heard her i kept
10:23eating i didn't even look up that made him smile oh i get it you want money he leaned back
10:30in his
10:30chair fine i'll pay deal i finished my last bite got up went straight to the kitchen i heard graham's
10:38sneer behind me she will do anything for cash she'd sell her soul for it for once he was right
10:45i needed that money to pay back the two million then i could leave so i did whatever they wanted
10:51after that i became vera's personal maid pour her tea 30 grand rub her feet 50 and when graham was
11:00in
11:00the mood he made me stay in the room while they slept together 80 grand a night at first it
11:07made me
11:07sick then i got used to it i could stand there with a blank face wait for them to finish
11:15then hand graham another condom like i was refilling napkins then one night he snapped
11:22he slapped the box from my hand grabbed my chin hard sienna what the hell is wrong with you i
11:29looked
11:29right in the eye and didn't say a thing in just two weeks i had saved one million and six
11:36hundred
11:36thousand dollars i only needed four hundred thousand more and i could pay graham back divorce him and walk
11:43away clean that same week the first snow of the year hit vera begged graham to take her to mount
11:50rainier to see the snow of course graham couldn't say no to her he took her up there for a
11:56grand date
11:56they just had to bring me along the whole day was a nightmare not only did vera boss me around
12:02graham
12:03also asked me to take off my jacket and put it over vera's belly to keep the baby warm finally
12:09i made it
12:11to nightfall they went to a japanese hot spring house right at the foot of the mountain while having
12:17dinner vera suddenly touched her neck and gasped oh my god my necklace i think i left it at the
12:25viewing
12:26platform then she turned to me and smiled sienna can you be a doll and go get it for me
12:32before i
12:33could answer the new housekeeper spoke up mr blake the roads are icy mrs blake is pregnant too maybe
12:41she can go tomorrow graham didn't even look at her he just kept staring at me 40 grand
12:48take it or leave it deal exactly what he expected i loved money too much to say no at least
12:57that's
12:58what he believed the road up the mountain was a mess the driver could only take me halfway up we
13:05took
13:05the cable car to the platform during the day but it was already closed now the driver glanced at me
13:11nervous mrs blake please hurry if miss freddy gets upset mr blake docks my pay i nodded then started up
13:22the trail the path was slick with ice i watched every step two hours later i made it to the
13:29platform and
13:30there it was where is necklace i let out a dry laugh then i turned and started back down that's
13:38when i
13:38slipped one bad step then nothing under my feet i went over the edge branches tore at my skin rocks
13:48slammed into my body i rolled until i caught a dead tree with both hands barely i screamed for help
13:56all i
13:57heard back was wind i grabbed my phone tried to call 9-1-1 then my screen lit up battery
14:04low powering
14:06off in 30 seconds right then a transfer alert came through forty thousand dollars a message followed
14:13got the necklace and get your ass back here a tear slid down my face before the phone died
14:21i sent him everything the full two million and my surgery record
14:29grand blake i don't know you a damn thing now the next morning graham's drivers shook him awake
14:37panic all over his face mr blake something's wrong mrs blake never came down the mountain
14:45ramsa straight up snatched his phone off the nightstand he saw it the transfer the photo
14:53that medical report his whole face went rigid then a noose alert hit his screen this morning authorities
15:01found the frozen body of an unidentified woman on mount rainier grand blake stared at his phone like it
15:09had turned into a foreign language he near every word on the screen but together they made no sense
15:18find her his voice cracked like a whip whatever it costs find her he refused to believe the body in
15:26that alert was sienna she left money too much she would never just die grandma looked down at his phone
15:32again the transfer record the surgery report every line cut deeper sienna had picked the cheapest clinic
15:40the most basic procedure no extra meds no pain pump nothing and she used to be terrified of pain
15:50back when we were dating one tiny paper cut would bring her to me nagging about how much it hurt
15:56so how had she gone through the abortion alone and then he realized sienna hadn't said that hurts
16:05in a very long time was it their wedding night the night he took her heart over and over the
16:14night she
16:14cried and begged him to stop and he grabbed her jaw and said i paid two million for this you
16:21can handle a
16:21little more was it that night or the first time he brought another woman home or later the nights he
16:30forced her to bow her head the nights he threw her out in the cold the nights he made her
16:36serve his
16:37mistress then his eyes landed on the surgery date that day sienna asked him for 14 dollars said she needed
16:46medicine and what had he done he mocked her hung up and bought the 14 million dollar necklace for vera
16:54he laid up the whole city with fireworks made sure everyone saw it made sure sienna saw it he wanted
17:02to
17:02punish her he wanted her to know he could spend money on any woman he wanted just not on sienna
17:10he loved
17:11watching her come to him for cash loved watching her lower herself but now now that sienna might be
17:18dead none of that mattered only one thought stuck in his head please let her be alive she wanted money
17:27he had money he would give her all of it please don't leave him a body on the mountain you
17:37think it could be
17:37sienna vera's voice sliced through the room graham looked up her eyes were bright like she was trying
17:45not to smile the roads were icy she went up there for money she tilted her head that's not my
17:51fault you
17:52said you hated her so if she's dead isn't that a good thing every word hit like a blade graham
17:58shot to
17:59his feet before vera could react his hand was around her throat his eyes went red she is not dead
18:07vera clawed at his wrist panic flooded her face graham tightened his grip his voice rose if it weren't for
18:15you none of this would have happened vera couldn't breathe a few seconds stretched forever finally he let go
18:23she collapsed to the floor and realized she had gotten too comfortable too spoiled she forgot who
18:31graham blike really was he was the man people feared in business the one they called a killer in a
18:38suit
18:39so even through her tears she still asked why are you doing this to me i thought you loved me
18:47graham
18:48didn't even blink love he looked down at her like she was dirt you think you deserve my love
19:00vera was never special to graham she was just another woman who threw herself at him
19:08the only reason vera lasted longer than the others was simple she looked the most like sienna
19:15they had the same eyes graham found that out by accident one night drunk out of his mind he called
19:23vera by sienna's name when he woke up he hated sienna even more at least that's what he told himself
19:32vera's voice cracked but i'm pregnant with your baby
19:38she wasn't about to let go graham wasn't the first sugar daddy she'd chased
19:43but he was the best one young hot loaded the only problem was sienna that wife title was still hers
19:52and as long as sienna stayed alive vera could never take her place so yes part of her had hoped
20:00sienna
20:01would disappear that was why she forgot the necklace at the platform she knew graham would make sienna go get
20:08it and when she saw the news that morning she had almost laughed she had already started picturing the
20:14wedding then graham snapped he wasn't the man she thought she knew still she had one card left the baby
20:23that was supposed to be her safety net what she didn't know was that graham had known the truth all
20:29along i never told you what i knew because you weren't important his voice was calm now you really
20:35thought i believed that kid was mine vera went still after sienna got pregnant i got a varexamine
20:42he took one slow step closer so no the baby in your stomach cannot be mine his eyes locked
20:51on hers did you really think i didn't know about your college boyfriend all the color drained from vera's
20:57face that boyfriend that boyfriend was real they had been together a long time he was the only one she
21:05had
21:05ever actually loved too bad he was broke graham didn't say anything because she meant so little to him
21:13that he didn't even care enough to call her out he just didn't care vera used to think she was
21:20different
21:20now she knew better she was just another toy one he could use up and toss aside no worse than
21:28that now
21:29all the rage he used to aim at sienna had nowhere to go so it landed on vera she pushed
21:37herself up from
21:39the floor and wiped the tears from her face didn't care that her mascara was wrecked for the first time
21:47she dropped the act then she looked graham dead in the eye you want someone to blame look in the
21:54mirror
21:55his face changed instantly what did you just say vera let out a bitter laugh was i wrong
22:06if you hadn't pushed sienna this far she never would have gone up that mountain in the middle of
22:11a snowstorm you made her stand there and listen while we slept together she stepped closer you
22:17drove her away and you're the one to blame by then the room fell frozen with every word vera said
22:24graham's face got colder finally he snapped his voice came out low and deadly do you wanna die right
22:33then someone came running into the room mr blake he bent over gasping we got a call from the police
22:40the body they found it's not your wife hope showed on his face she's alive the assistant froze for half
22:50a
22:51beat in theory yes we've got over a hundred people out there plus a full search and rescue team he
22:57swallowed but so far there's still no sign of mrs blake for now no news was good news that thin
23:06thread of
23:06hope was the only thing holding graham together find her no matter what it took from that day on
23:13graham barely slept he watched every update himself tracked every search route every delay every lead
23:23more than once he went up the mountain in person mount rainier in winter was brutal nothing but white snow
23:31he knew the us a person alone in that kind of cold didn't last long and sienna had just had
23:39surgery
23:39she was weak one of the search team members led graham to the place where she most likely fail he
23:47pointed
23:47at a patch of frozen blood on the rocks she probably hit here first the branches and rocks slowed the
23:53fall
23:54that may have bought her some time then he handed graham an evidence back inside with three things
24:00a necklace a phone and a ring graham stared at the ring the one he had custom made when he
24:08proposed
24:08sienna wore it every day he used to think she kept it on because it was expensive because she liked
24:15what it
24:15was worth but later he learned the truth even when she had no money for medicine she still kept
24:23the ring and now she had left it there like a goodbye graham's knees almost gave out someone grabbed him
24:32fast mr blake watch it that's a straight drop that cliff was exactly why the search team kept saying
24:39her odds were slim but graham refused to stop he paid more then more again he gave only one order
24:48keep
24:48searching do not stop until you find her when graham finally went back home it had been two weeks he
24:57hadn't really been living there he slept at the office if he slept at all his assistant told him to
25:04go
25:04home but a graham knew he was staying away because he was scared that house was full of sienna every
25:11trace
25:12of her hurt like hell that was when he started noticing things sienna's clothes were old years old
25:21not like vera who had counters full of makeup and shopping bags everywhere sienna had a few drugstore
25:29skincare bottles that was it how could she have ever been the gold digger he called her then he remembered
25:36what she told him that night her family had lost everything that was why she asked him for the two
25:42million something clicked graham grabbed his keys and headed straight for the hail home the old hail
25:50family house was long gone sold off it took a grim some time to check down where her parents live
25:56now
25:57it was a worn down apartment complex the kind of place he would never have stepped into before
26:03when sienna's parents opened the door and saw him they both froze back when graham and sienna were
26:09dating they had met him a few times but after the wedding they never saw him again they kept asking
26:14sienna to bring him by for dinner they wanted to thank him in person for helping their family in a
26:20crisis
26:20every time sienna covered for him he's busy maybe next time a mother always knows mrs hale had seen the
26:29cracks but sienna never told him the bad parts only the good so they were shocked what brings you here
26:36graham his forehead was damp with sweat has sienna come back here mrs hale's face changed at once what
26:45happened to her that was it the last piece of hope in him broke sienna had not come home then
26:53where the
26:53hell was she it's nothing we had a fight i thought she might be here before leaving he looked around
27:00the apartment it was clean carefully kept but everything in it was old old couch old cabinets
27:07old table sienna had told the truth her family really had lost everything graham reached into his pocket
27:14pulled out a bank card but she pushed it back then she went inside and got a deposit book she
27:21handed it to
27:22him it's not two million yet but take it for now we'll save the rest graham sienna really loves you
27:32if you two had a fight please don't blame her and don't be hard on her please just let her
27:41come home
27:43graham didn't even know how he got out of that building it was as if he had lost his soul
27:48half a
27:49month had passed since i woke up lying in that freezing mountain ravine i was sure i was going
27:56to die luckily two strangers found me they were out went to hiking just there for the view they heard
28:03me before they saw me that same night they got me to a hospital they even paid my medical bill
28:09up front
28:10i had no money no phone and i couldn't let my parents find out
28:14so i asked the hospital to hold a gold necklace i had worn since birth my mom gave it to
28:20me when i was
28:21a baby a good luck charm that was enough to cover what i owed over those two weeks i thought
28:27about a
28:27lot if i'm honest i used to blame graham but once you almost die something shifts dot it wasn't that
28:34i
28:34forgave him it was that none of it mattered anymore after i got out of the hospital i went home
28:40my mom had
28:41more gray hair than the last time i saw her the second she saw me she burst into tears but
28:46she
28:46didn't ask any questions she just grabbed my hands and kept saying the same thing
28:52you're home that's all that matters you're home i fell into her arms and broke every bit of pain
29:00i had buried came out at once i cried so hard i couldn't breathe dot so when i saw graham
29:06again
29:06i was calmer than i expected sienna when i looked up he was standing there like a man who hadn't
29:13slept
29:13in days you're okay he looked wrecked do you know how much i missed you hollowed out like he was
29:25the
29:25one who had almost died so i didn't die that must be a let down don't say that as long
29:33as i'm here
29:33nothing will happen to you i had just gotten out of the hospital i didn't have the strength for one
29:40more uncomfortable conversation i got right to it graham i paid you back every dollar
29:49as for interest i think everything you did to me more than covers that
29:52so sign the divorce papers but his face changed fast no i'm not divorcing you i know i was wrong
30:02i know that now my money is yours all of it okay and vera is gone i took care of
30:08her for you
30:09there will never be another woman again sienna can you give me one more chance the pain on his face
30:16was real this was nothing like the graham black i knew the arrogant man who always looked down at me
30:22i had heard what happened to vera none of it surprised me graham was ruthless he always had
30:28been but what happened to vera didn't make me feel better he was wrong the person who hurt me the
30:32most
30:33was never vera it was him graham if it wasn't vera it would have been someone else alice chloe madison
30:42whoever his face only got worse you know me better than anyone when i make up my mind nobody can
30:50change
30:50it i took a breath so let's end this let's at least leave each other with that little bit of
30:57dignity
30:58he opened his mouth nothing came out then tears started falling i turned around and walked away
31:06i never looked back
31:09a month passed graham still refused to sign so i hired a lawyer i was done waiting the hearing was
31:15set
31:16then the night before the hearing graham killed himself he jumped from a cliff on mount rainier
31:24by the time they found him he was already gone lawyers from blake holdings called me the next day
31:30dot graham had left a will everything he owned was left to me i donated most of it the rest
31:35i kept just
31:37enough to live the rest of my life in peace the truth is he called me the night he died
31:43i answered all i could hear was wind for a few seconds he said nothing then he asked one question
31:53sienna if there's a next life would you give me one more chance and i heard myself say no
