01:20was just a sweet person when he sliced those oranges he would think about codes scholarships

01:31suddenly they started talking about college romances someone said i heard you had a girlfriend
01:36back then ryan my hand froze i heard you had a girlfriend back then ryan my hand froze

03:36i stood in the hallway realized something bitter i am the nightmare x they were talking about
03:45i still remember our freshman year ryan stood in the crowd in his faded old clothes
03:50he was totally an outsider but he was the only one i saw until last week when he suddenly showed
03:58up
03:59i loved his cold calm voice when he was talking to me and i loved the way he looked down
04:05at me
04:07ryan was desperate for money back then so one night after class i grabbed his hand
04:13i like you ryan be with me i have money we can share i could even pay you for one
04:21night
04:22no he said no of course but i was young and spoiled i didn't know the word lose meant
04:32the more he said no no the harder i chased him
04:38everything changed when his grandfather got sick
04:43without thinking i paid all the medical bills that was the moment ryan finally gave in
04:50i was so stupid i thought i was being a hero
04:57it took me a long time to realize i got the man
05:05but i crushed his soul
05:11even after we started dating he worked every single day
05:14he barely touched my money but things got worse
05:17people started to spread rumors they said he have sold himself
05:21i was so naive i just held his hand and said ignore them
05:25i lived in my own little world never realized ryan was fighting his war all alone
05:30senior year my family lost everything
05:33i didn't tell him the truth i just called him out and said let's break up
05:37why i'm bored of you

05:42just like that we were over i figured he was happy to finally be free
05:47the day we broke up i changed my phone and left town to pay off the debts

06:04and stella she was our prom queen became a famous influencer
06:08i never expected them to be together

06:20it was 4 a.m when i finished my shift
06:23i was the last one out of the club the lights were off and the elevator wasn't
06:28running i kept hitting the button hoping for a miracle

06:35i looked back and there he was ryan i called my hands shaking the elevator
06:40opened we stood together in the tiny quiet space
06:44you always get off this late he asked casually
06:47we leave when the last guest leaves does it pay well it's okay i kept my head
06:52down he acted like i was a total stranger
06:54chatting away as if nothing happened this elevator is slow

08:29i'd love for you guys to come to my wedding ryan's face suddenly went pale
08:33he never saw it coming the club gig is just my side hustle
08:37by day i have a real office job monday morning a big client arrived
08:42the office was buzzing with gossip i heard this guy's a total genius
08:47he built the system just to find someone who i heard it's his ex-girlfriend my
08:52heart skipped a beat so did he find her yet nobody knows
08:55but every big investor is chasing him i grabbed my files and headed to the meeting
09:01i heard a familiar voice inside i need to rethink this partnership
09:06i pushed the door open and set the files down ryan's eyes locked onto mine
09:10instantly what are you doing here working my boss looked surprised
09:15chloe do you know mr warren we've met met that's new to me
09:22he was upset but i didn't know why he was the one who walked away first
09:27ryan pointed at me and looked at my boss i'm willing to sign
09:31provided there's a small condition i want chloe as my private assistant
09:35of course absolutely my boss agreed before i could say a word
09:39then he had me run coffee back and forth while they talked business until sunset
09:44at p.m i grabbed my bag to leave where are you going i didn't say you could
09:49leave i can't work late today mr warren what could be more important than your
09:53work i have another job i have to go deliver food now ryan just stared at me in
10:01total shock i used to be so spoiled i was the kind of person who wouldn't even
10:05touch takeout back in college ryan spent all his after
10:09school hours delivering food his dinner was usually just a cheap free meal
10:13provided by the delivery company one day i went to find him
10:16i saw him squeezed into a tiny room with a bunch of other uber eat drivers
10:21they were all just shoving food into their mouths from plastic boxes
10:25i said ryan how can you eat that it's so unhealthy he looked so uncomfortable
10:32he looked at me and asked does it really matter if it's healthy
10:36come on let's go grab some steak i dragged him to a new steakhouse
10:41where a meal costs over 100 bucks he stood at the door for a long time
10:47then he silently took off his delivery uniform it wasn't until my family lost
10:51everything that i finally understood how he felt that day and i understood his pain
10:56just like i felt today it started snowing on the street the ground was so slippery
11:02and the food spilled everywhere
11:06i called the customer to explain but he just screamed at me
11:12hello i'm so sorry it's snowing and the roads are icy i fell off my bike and the food spilled
11:18don't
11:19make excuses you're late i'm so sorry i'm so sorry my palms were cracked and bleeding it hurt so badly
11:26but i didn't have time to care suddenly ryan appeared and grabbed my bike i had no idea how
11:32long he'd been standing there watching me i reflexively hid my hands behind my back
11:38stop hiding them i saw them go wash them right now his voice was raspy and his eyes were bloodshot
11:45i have to deliver the food first get in the car i'll take you the customer lived on the first
11:51floor
11:52when i handed him the meal he grumbled what the a porsche driver delivering takeout
11:57i checked my phone i had to pick up the next order stop don't go i can't i haven't made
12:06enough money
12:07tonight then i'll buy it then i'll buy it what i can't believe what i heard he reached into his
12:14coat
12:14and pulled out a thick stack of cash he didn't even count it he just pressed the money into my
12:20bleeding hands i'm buying your time for the rest of the night the porsche pulled up to ryan's house
12:26he opened the door for me i stepped out hesitantly standing at his front door i stopped
12:32stella wouldn't like it i refused to go inside you're still worried about her look at yourself
12:37you're a mess my palms were torn up and my clothes were soaked with dirty melted snow
12:43and look at this house does it look like a woman lives here you guys aren't living together
12:49i was never even with her ryan pulled out a contract and handed it to me
12:55six months ago she came to me for a deal she didn't want to be harassed by all those scumbags
13:01so she asked me to play her fake boyfriend he explained further making sure i understood and
13:08some gold diggers like to target tech ceos like us it's annoying stella could help me get rid of them
13:14as
13:14well i opened the contract and the words practically jumped off the page no interference in each other's
13:21private lives ryan took my hand and started treating my wounds then i saw a row of unopened hand
13:28creams on the shelf it was my favorite brand ryan had bought the entire set i talked to your co
13:35-works
13:35today you don't have a boyfriend you even told everyone you were single last week tell me the
13:42truth there is no wedding chloe admit it you're wrong there is then show me a photo a photo of
13:53you and
13:53that guy we we don't have any photos together you you love taking pictures and you're telling me you
14:04don't have a single photo with your new man you just reminded me i'll take one next time and show
14:11it to
14:11you ryan let out a cold frustrated laugh suddenly he leaned over he pushed me back onto the couch trapping
14:19me completely i couldn't move even through my sweater i could feel the heat radiating from his
14:25body i bought your time for tonight i'll give your money back ryan i'm really getting married
14:32his hand slid down my shoulder slowly until he reached my wrist he stopped getting married and
14:39yet you're still wearing the bracelet your ex-boyfriend sent you that doesn't seem right does it i looked
14:44down there was a thin chain on my wrist over the years it had lost its shine it was the
14:49very first
14:50gift ryan ever gave me i was 19 and the world was different then there was a week i barely
14:56saw him
14:56except for classes he was working every part-time job he could find he was working harder than ever
15:01on my birthday my parents threw a party for me at a fancy restaurant i invited ryan but he didn't
15:07show up
15:08i waited and waited finally when the party was over my phone rang i'm outside the restaurant i walked
15:17out in the middle of a heavy snowstorm there he was standing tall and straight he looked exhausted
15:23just like i do today his cheap yellow delivery uniform was covered in mud back then i didn't
15:29know what's happening all i did was complain about him being late ryan just smiled and rubbed my hair
15:35he told me he got me a gift it was a simple bracelet but i knew it was way more
15:40than he
15:40could afford i loved it so much that i couldn't wait to put it on and for years i never
15:44took it
15:45off my parents called me from inside the restaurant who are you talking to they asked who i was talking
15:50to they never liked ryan they thought he was too poor for me when i turned back around ryan was
15:56already
15:56gone disappearing into the snow looking back today i can't help but wonder back when we were 19 ryan did
16:03love me didn't he that bracelet he worked day and night just to buy it for me was he just
16:09like me
16:10tonight running through the snow falling down but getting back up just to get that gift to me
16:15but what about now he's now pressing me down into the sofa his shadow looming over me his house is
16:21filled with luxury brands i used to love does he still care about me or is he just trying to
16:25humiliate
16:26me i couldn't figure it out before i knew it tears started rolling down my face ryan froze he looked
16:33completely panicked he could never handle it when i cried that's the one thing about him that hasn't
16:38changed at all he scrambled to wipe the tears from my face don't cry please don't cry i'm sorry i
16:46didn't
16:46mean to make you cry today's your 26th birthday and i bought you a new bracelet
16:54i bought you a new bracelet what i had completely forgotten today was actually my birthday take a look

17:37i had known lucas for a long time before my family went bankrupt he confessed his feelings to me
17:42but back then i was so head over heels for ryan that i rejected lucas every single time until last

18:12excuse to escape ryan tonight i didn't expect him to show up at ryan's door
