Short filmTranscript
00:00Honey, please, call an ambulance.
00:04After my fiancha's childhood friend found out, I was born with a heart condition.
00:09She secretly poured a second high-dose energy drink.
00:12Just to show respect to Charlotte on her big day.
00:15In a panic, I tore open my only emergency medication,
00:18but the water I used to take it had been swapped with more of the same high-caffeine energy drink.
00:23As soon as I swallowed it, a violent wave of nausea hit me.
00:27My vision blurred.
00:29Energy drinks are full of vitamins and caffeine.
00:32They help with hangovers and keep you alert and healthy.
00:36Ethan, your fiancé's acting is incredible.
00:38I've been a doctor for years, and I've never seen anyone react like this
00:42to a little champagne and a harmless energy drink.
00:45Honey, please, call an ambulance. I can't take it anymore.
00:50For a moment, Ethan's expression wavered.
00:53He looked almost worried and even took half a step forward.
00:56Come on, stop pretending.
00:58Nobody dies from a bit of champagne and an energy drink.
01:01Yeah, you're just jealous Charlotte got promoted and didn't want to toast to her.
01:05Ethan's face turned cold again.
01:06Charlotte's a doctor.
01:07You'll be fine with her here.
01:09Right?
01:20I invited her because I wanted to fix things between us.
01:26What are you doing?
01:28We just called you out a bit, and now you're trying to post on Instagram to get people to attack
01:32us?
01:35Ethan's face was dark, and he looked at me with a cold glare.
01:40Though his brow tritched and his hand instinctively moved toward his pocket again,
01:45the pain made my vision go black at the edges.
01:48I didn't do anything, Ethan.
01:50I was born with a heart condition.
01:52I think I'm having an attack.
01:56Please, call an ambulance.
01:58Ethan finally noticed.
02:01Something was wrong.
02:02But before he could decide, Charlotte pulled him away.
02:09Ethan, your fiancé's so inconsiderate.
02:12Everyone came here to celebrate my promotion,
02:14but she's jealous and trying to ruin the party they threw for me.
02:18I knew Amelia never liked me.
02:20I invited her because I wanted to fix things between us,
02:23but she didn't appreciate it.
02:26She's showing everyone how nasty she can be.
02:30Ethan, if I'd known this would happen, I would have solely invited you.
02:35You really know how to act, don't you?
02:38Maybe try using that talent for acting instead of scheming and stirring up trouble.
02:44As a doctor, I can tell when someone's faking it.
02:51But even though it was supposed to be my date with Ethan,
02:55Ethan and Charlotte had grown up together.
02:58They had their own tight circle.
03:01Charlotte was unhappy about it.
03:03She often showed up uninvited whenever Ethan and I went out.
03:09Ethan!
03:11Charlotte's like my sister, don't overthink it.
03:14Amelia, I'm only tagging along to help our friends decide if you're right for Ethan.
03:20He's already spent enough time on you.
03:22You can't be this greedy.
03:24Charlotte's words made me feel like if I loved Ethan,
03:26I would have to accept all his friends, even Charlotte herself.
03:31But even though it was supposed to be my date with Ethan,
03:34we ended up doing the things Charlotte liked.
03:36I pulled myself back to the present.
03:39Memories of those suffocating dates flashing through my mind.
03:47I get it, Amelia.
03:48You're so used to being in the spotlight that you have to steal the show, don't you?
03:53Today, the focus is on me.
03:56And since no one is cheering for you like your fans would,
03:58you're putting on an act just to get attention.
04:01Remember when we were kids?
04:03You said you'd kill anyone who made me unhappy.
04:05Baby, looks like you've changed.
04:13You call yourself the fiancé of a mafia?
04:16The guests at the party sneered at me.
04:18They were all Charlotte and Ethan's friends.
04:21They had always thought I was not good enough for Ethan
04:23and felt nothing but dislike towards me.
04:31Amelia, I know you don't like Charlotte.
04:34I've already tried to keep you away from her.
04:36But her promotion party only lasts one day.
04:40Can't you just bear with it for a few hours?
04:43The sharp taste helped me stay conscious for a few more seconds.
04:47Instead of just begging, a spark of cold anger rose in me.
04:50I started crawling toward the door,
04:52my nails scraping the ground with determination.
04:54I hoped someone outside could help me,
04:56and part of me refused to die quietly in front of them.
05:01What's wrong?
05:02You got exposed,
05:04and now that Ethan won't defend you anymore,
05:05you're embarrassed and trying to run away?
05:10But a couple exchanged uneasy glance.
05:12My weak body hit the champagne tower.
05:15Glasses fell to the ground,
05:16and champagne spilled all over me,
05:18soaking my clothes and mixing with my cold sweat.
05:27You call yourself the fiancé of a mafia boss?
05:30There's a limit to playing the victim.
05:32Look at yourself, all miserable and pathetic.
05:34You're making Ethan look bad.
05:40It's so hot,
05:41and this is an outdoor party.
05:44Ethan, your fiancé's been causing trouble even before the wedding.
05:47Imagine what she'll be like later.
05:48Today is the perfect chance to teach her a lesson.
05:59Amelia, I've had enough?
06:01Stop pretending and get up!
06:03The next moment, he froze.
06:06My face was deathly pale,
06:08lips turning a faint blue.
06:14Amelia's terrified of pain.
06:17Could it really be?
06:18My mind was already fogging over.
06:21It's so hot,
06:23and this is an outdoor party.
06:25She's suffering from heat strike,
06:27yet she lies on the ground
06:28and continues to pretend.
06:30A cold drink will fix her right up.
06:35Suddenly,
06:36everything went strangely quiet inside me.
06:39My heart no longer raced.
06:40It stuttered in irregular,
06:42terrifying beats.
06:45Not because the pain had eased,
06:47but because I seemed to have forgotten how to breathe.
06:52She's not actually dying,
06:53is she?
06:56Ethan took a glass of strong whiskey
06:58from a waiter.
07:02Ethan looked at me with worry.
07:04He pushed through the crowd.
07:08Amelia, what's wrong?
07:11Move!
07:12Get out of the way!
07:14Amelia,
07:15your next role is a heroine
07:17with a heart condition?
07:18It's no wonder your act looks so real.
07:24You really fooled everyone.
07:26Your acting is...
07:28impressive.
07:33Ethan glanced at the trailer
07:35on Charlotte's phone.
07:36His worry turned to anger.
07:38Amelia,
07:39this is Charlotte's celebration party,
07:41not your personal show.
07:42Get up,
07:43or else...
07:45I was in too much pain
07:47to hear the rest.
07:48My face twisted in agony.
07:50Looks like she hasn't changed.
07:52Ethan,
07:53teach her a lesson.
07:54You
07:54are the mafia boss.
07:56How can you let her ruin my party?
07:58And make a fool of you.
08:01Listen,
08:02Charlotte is the star today.
08:04Whether you like it or not...
08:12Ethan took a glass of strong whiskey
08:14from a waiter
08:15and held it out to me.
08:20I've known you for a very long time
08:22and never once heard about your heart condition.
08:24Get up
08:25and toast to Charlotte.
08:26I'll overlook the stupid thing
08:28you did today.
08:29Tears ran down my face
08:30from the pain.
08:32I looked at Ethan's cold,
08:33heartless face
08:34and forced myself to say,
08:37No!
08:39Amelia,
08:40I already finished my drink.
08:47Amelia,
08:48I already finished my drink.
08:50You are really narrow-minded.
08:52Poor Ethan.
08:53He always tries to defend you.
08:54If you love acting so much,
08:57I'll help you.
09:03I struggled.
09:04I could only watch helplessly
09:06as they poured the whiskey
09:07into my mouth.
09:08My heart could not take it.
09:10Sharp pain
09:11and suffocating pressure
09:12spread through me.
09:20Help.
09:20Help me.
09:21My heart.
09:23Stop pretending, Amelia.
09:25It is just a glass of whiskey.
09:27It can't hurt you.
09:29I've known you for a very long time
09:30and never once heard about
09:31your heart condition.
09:34I stayed silent
09:35because I loved you.
09:37I wanted to give you a chance,
09:38but you disappointed me.
09:49Ethan is handsome,
09:51rich,
09:52and the boss
09:52of the entire Rolling Stars.
09:56Three years ago,
09:58I ran away
09:58to follow my dream of acting.
10:00One day,
10:01I was cornered by street bugs
10:03and Ethan appeared
10:04like a hero.
10:08We fell in love
10:09at first sight
10:09and quickly grew close.
10:11When I learned that Ethan,
10:12who seemed cold and de-packed,
10:14had lost both his parents
10:15to sudden illness,
10:17I decided to hide
10:18my own condition
10:19so that he would not have to feel
10:20that kind of fear
10:21and worry again.
10:24Ethan turned away
10:25in disgust
10:26and refused
10:26to look at me again.
10:30After he turned his back,
10:32Charlene grew
10:32even more smug.
10:37I was forced
10:38to open my bloodshot eyes
10:39to look at the cruel woman
10:40in front of me.
10:49Why?
10:51Why are you doing this to me?
10:53You don't deserve him.
10:54Ethan is handsome,
10:56rich,
10:56and the boss
10:57of the entire Rolling Stars.
10:59I spent 11 years
11:00trying to win his heart
11:01and failed.
11:02How can someone like you,
11:04a filthy rat
11:04who crawled out of the gutter
11:06ever deserve him?
11:09A filthy rat,
11:11a cold,
11:12bitter smile
11:12appeared on my lips.
11:13A filthy rat,
11:16a cold,
11:17bitter smile
11:18appeared on my lips.
11:20If my father knew
11:21I had been humiliated
11:23and mistreated like this
11:24after leaving home,
11:25how heartbroken
11:26would he be?
11:27Sadly,
11:28I would never see him again.
11:30My consciousness
11:31began to fade.
11:32Through the blur,
11:33I saw the pouch of medicine
11:34I had dropped
11:35near the waiter's feet.
11:36some emergency medicine
11:38was still inside.
11:40Just a few more steps.
11:43Just a few more.
11:48I thought I could reach the pouch.
11:51Even if I could not,
11:53I hope this would catch
11:54this waiter's attention.
11:59ha,
12:00weren't you just pretending
12:01you were about to die?
12:02Look how fat
12:03you can crawl now.
12:05Amelia,
12:06you just couldn't help
12:07showing your clumsy trick!
12:09I take back my compliment
12:10about your acting!
12:12Oh!
12:13She raised her voice
12:15on purpose
12:15to draw everyone's attention.
12:17Ethan glanced at me,
12:18then turned away
12:19with even more impatience.
12:25I did not care about that.
12:26I bit down on the pain
12:28and tried to pull the packet
12:29away from under
12:29Charlotte's seal.
12:31Charlotte gave me
12:31a mocking smile
12:32and whispered,
12:33your heart must hurt
12:34so much you nearly died,
12:36right?
12:37There's worse pain
12:38yet to come.
12:40Charlotte's eyes
12:41went cold.
12:42She lifted her foot
12:43and kicked my
12:44outstretched arm.
12:47I felt numb
12:49and could not
12:49even make a sound.
12:51The waiter
12:52who had been pushed aside
12:53pointed under the table
12:54and screamed.
12:55There's blood!
12:57There's so much blood!
13:00His cry got
13:01everyone's attention.
13:02Ethan frowned.
13:03He pushed through
13:04the guests
13:04and rushed to my side.
13:06When he saw me,
13:07he froze.
13:08The small cuts
13:09on my arm
13:10from the broken glass
13:11had been ripped open
13:12by Charlotte's heel.
13:13Blood flowed
13:13and soaked the grass
13:14beneath me.
13:15Amelia!
13:16I'll take you
13:16to the hospital now!
13:19He did not hesitate
13:20and reached
13:21to pick me up.
13:22Charlotte showed
13:23a flicker of panic.
13:26This is nothing, Ethan.
13:28It looks worse
13:28than it actually is.
13:30It's just a surface wound.
13:33No need for an emergency.
13:34I'm a doctor.
13:35I can treat her faster
13:36than going to the hospital.
13:38She grabbed
13:39a glass of liquor
13:40and poured it
13:41straight onto my wound.
13:45Charlotte acted concerned
13:46and lifted my arm.
13:48Blood ran from the wound
13:50and mixed with grass
13:51and dirt.
13:52Amelia,
13:53you have to stop
13:55with the pity party.
13:56You crawled over the glass
13:57on purpose
13:58to cut yourself,
13:59didn't you?
14:00You're taking advantage
14:01of Ethan's love for you
14:02to make him give in.
14:03I feel sorry for him.
14:10Is that it, Amelia?
14:12You knew I couldn't stand
14:13seeing someone
14:14close to me hurt
14:15so you used such
14:16petty tricks
14:16to threaten me?
14:17Can't you even put up
14:18with such a small thing
14:19as this for me?
14:21Listen, Amelia.
14:22We aren't leaving
14:23this place today.
14:24We'll stay until
14:24the party ends.
14:26Charlotte,
14:27treat her wound.
14:28Whoever helps Amelia
14:29will be considered
14:30to be against
14:30the whole Rolling Stones.
14:32Charlotte grew triumphant.
14:34She lifted my injured arm
14:35as if it were a rag doll.
14:37Don't worry, Ethan.
14:39I've treated wounds
14:40like these many times before.
14:42First,
14:43we need to disinfect them.
14:45She grabbed a glass of liquor
14:46and poured it
14:47straight onto my wound.
14:53If Ethan hadn't rescued her,
14:55who knows where she'd be now?
14:57The burning pain
14:59made my weak heart
15:00stop for a moment.
15:01My mind cleared a little.
15:03I spat up blood
15:04and managed to say
15:05with difficulty,
15:07My father,
15:09Reese,
15:10won't let you
15:11get away with this.
15:15Your father?
15:16A junkie from West Street
15:18or a drunk from East Street?
15:19My father runs
15:20the city hospitals
15:21and has close ties
15:22with the Rolling Stones.
15:23Don't try to act superior
15:25in front of me.
15:28Darkness flickered
15:29at the edge of my vision.
15:31I felt numb
15:32and could no longer
15:33feel the pain.
15:34Reese?
15:35You mean the Reese family
15:37that controls
15:37half the mafia world?
15:38Don't listen to her lies!
15:40Ethan told me
15:41she's a failed actress!
15:42If Ethan hadn't rescued her,
15:44who knows where she'd be now?
15:48The Reese family?
15:50Please!
15:51This woman will say
15:52anything to survive!
15:55After hearing Charlotte's words,
15:57they laughed cruelly.
15:59Ethan's face grew
16:00even darker.
16:01He turned his back on me
16:03and walked away.
16:04He did not care about me,
16:06even though I was dying.
16:21My body grew stiff.
16:25Before I blacked out,
16:27tears blurred my view.
16:30Papa, save me.
16:32I called out
16:33even though I knew
16:34it might just be
16:34a hallucination.
16:43Papa?
16:44Do you really think
16:45you are a mafia principissa?
16:47Who is your Papa?
16:48A mindless fan
16:49or another sponsor?
16:51She saw Ethan walk away
16:52and grabbed
16:53my mud-cocked hair.
16:56She slapped me hard.
17:00My world collapsed
17:01into dizzying blackness.
17:12face the truth.
17:15Even if you die
17:16by our hands,
17:18no one's coming
17:19to save you.
17:25Just as I closed my eyes
17:27in despair,
17:28a furious voice
17:29rang in my ear.
17:30I knew it better
17:32than any other voice
17:33in the world.
17:37How dare you
17:38torment my daughter?
17:40I'll make you
17:41pay with your lives!
17:44My father
17:45stormed into the party
17:46with a group
17:47of mafia men
17:48behind him.
17:52Charlotte and her friends
17:54froze when they saw
17:55the guns pointed at them.
17:56They let go of me
17:58right away
17:58and were terrified.
18:04My father pushed
18:05through the crowd.
18:07His eyes turned red
18:09with anger
18:09when he saw me weak
18:10and bleeding profusely.
18:22Amelia, my baby!
18:23My body could not
18:24hold on anymore.
18:25Soaked in sweat,
18:26I collapsed
18:27into my father's arms.
18:36Who dares make trouble
18:37on the Rolling Stones turf?
18:40Ethan!
18:44Save me!
18:46When Charlotte
18:47saw Ethan,
18:48she acted like
18:49she had just seen
18:50her savior.
18:53He froze
18:54as soon as he saw
18:55the pill
18:55in my father's hand.
18:57A heart medicine?
19:00Amelia really
19:01has a heart condition?
19:03He finally realized
19:05that I had told him
19:06the truth.
19:07His face went pale
19:08and his mind
19:09went blank.
19:13You hurt my baby.
19:14I'll take your hands
19:15for that.
19:25You hurt my baby.
19:27I'll take your hands
19:29for that.
19:33Baby.
19:38Who are you?
19:39How dare you call
19:40my fiancee your baby?
19:42Ethan clearly misunderstood
19:43my relationship
19:44with my father.
19:46He clenched his jaw
19:47and tried his best
19:48to hold back
19:49of his anger.
19:51Amelia, my love,
19:53I was wrong about you.
19:55You're badly hurt.
19:56Come back to me.
19:57I'll take you
19:58to the hospital right now.
19:59During the three years
20:00we were together,
20:01Ethan often said
20:02I was narrow-minded
20:03because I could not
20:04accept Charlotte
20:05being with us.
20:06He thought all our fights
20:07about her were because
20:08I was jealous and petty.
20:10But when he faced
20:12the same situation
20:13he was far from
20:14achieving the magnanimity
20:15and generosity
20:16that he expected
20:17me to display.
20:24You fool.
20:36You know Mr. Reese
20:37and he values you
20:38so much
20:39you have to save me!
20:40This fool
20:40is the reason
20:41you hid your identity
20:42and refused to come home?
20:48Not anymore.
20:50I want to go home
20:52back to the Reese family.
20:57Reese?
20:58The top mafia
20:59family in the country?
21:00Amelia's connected to them?
21:14Who are you?
21:16What's your relationship
21:17with my fiancé?
21:23That old man
21:24must be Amelia's
21:25sugar daddy.
21:26Ethan,
21:27didn't the boss
21:28of the Reese family
21:29help you take over
21:29the East District?
21:30You know Mr. Reese
21:32and he values you
21:33so much
21:33you have to save me!
21:35Ethan froze.
21:36The Reese family
21:37had many branches
21:38and held power
21:39across the country.
21:40Ethan used to be
21:41the mere leader
21:42of a gang
21:42of small-time thugs.
21:44But three years ago
21:45he suddenly received help
21:46from the dawn
21:47of the Reese family
21:48and took control
21:49of both the East
21:50and West Districts.
21:52The Rolling Stones
21:52quickly developed
21:53into a small mafia family
21:55in the nation.
22:00Everyone believed
22:01my father had helped
22:02because he saw potential
22:03in Ethan
22:04and the Rolling Stones.
22:05It was no wonder
22:06Charlotte thought
22:07my father
22:07who rarely showed
22:09his face
22:09was close to Ethan.
22:11My father carefully
22:12handed me over
22:13to his men.
22:14He stood up
22:15and looked coldly
22:16at Ethan.
22:18Three years ago
22:19you saved my daughter
22:20so I gave you a gift.
22:22I, David Reese,
22:24consider my debt
22:25with you,
22:25Ethan Cross,
22:27fulfilled henceforth.
22:34But someone has to pay
22:36for what my daughter
22:37suffered today.
22:40David Reese?
22:42You're Mr. Reese?
22:44Amelia is your daughter?
22:46I'm sorry, Mr. Reese.
22:48I didn't know
22:49who Amelia really was.
22:51I was just joking around
22:52with her.
22:53Please have mercy.
22:54Joking?
22:56Then let me play
22:57a John U, too.
23:00Charlotte clutched
23:02her arm
23:02and screamed
23:03in pain.
23:15My arm!
23:17No!
23:18No!
23:19I just got promoted!
23:21How am I supposed
23:22to operate now?
23:24No!
23:25I can't stand
23:26loud people.
23:28If you're unhappy
23:29that I only took
23:30your right hand,
23:32then I can make it
23:34so that I take
23:35your other one as well.
23:40No!
23:41It's not like that!
23:42Ethan, please!
23:43You know that I had
23:44no idea about
23:44Amelia's condition.
23:45I even tried
23:46to treat her wound!
23:47Please tell him!
23:48When my father
23:49did not respond,
23:50she turned to Ethan.
23:52Ethan frowned.
23:53He looked conflicted.
23:54Then,
23:55one of my father's men
23:57stepped forward
23:57and played the security
23:59footage from the party.
24:00The video clearly
24:02showed Charlotte
24:03pouring a high-strength
24:04sports drink
24:05into my champagne.
24:06It also showed
24:08her stepping on
24:08the medicine packet
24:09while I was crawling.
24:25How dare you
24:26humiliate my daughter
24:28like this?
24:29I'll make you
24:30disappear.
24:34Please!
24:35Tell her to spare me!
24:39Charlotte was terrified.
24:43No, please!
24:45Ethan, you're
24:46Amelia's fiancé!
24:47You saved her once!
24:49Please!
24:50Tell her to spare me!
24:57Get off me!
24:59You lied to me
25:00and almost killed
25:00Amelia!
25:01How dare you
25:01ask me for help!
25:08You can't let me die!
25:10My father
25:10saved your life once!
25:11You promised him
25:12you'd protect me!
25:13You saved Amelia
25:15so you have to
25:15save me too!
25:19Ethan froze
25:20for a moment.
25:22He looked at me.
25:25His eyes were filled
25:26with conflict
25:27and hesitation.
25:31Charlotte had come
25:32between us.
25:34But I had never
25:35once questioned him
25:36no matter how much
25:38Ethan doubted
25:38or grew impatient
25:39with me.
25:40That was until
25:41today.
25:45I thought he chose
25:46Charlotte over me
25:47because she manipulated him.
25:49I did not expect that
25:50even after finding out
25:52the whole truth
25:52he would hesitate
25:53to choose between us.
25:56my father sneered.
26:00Get off me!
26:02You lied to me
26:03and almost killed
26:03Amelia!
26:04How dare you
26:05ask me for help!
26:07Stop!
26:08A life for a life
26:09we're even.
26:10I took a deep breath
26:12and stopped him.
26:20Papa, that's enough.
26:29Amelia!
26:30I knew it!
26:31I knew you'd
26:33forgive me!
26:34Stop!
26:36A life for a life
26:37we're even.
26:38I spared Charlotte
26:39for you.
26:41From now on
26:42we have nothing
26:43to do with each other.
26:45Ethan froze in place.
26:47What did you just say?
26:49At that moment
26:49the Reese family's
26:51medical car
26:51screeched to a stop
26:52at the entrance
26:53of the party.
26:54My father lifted me
26:55into his arms
26:56and said to the
26:57remaining mafia members
26:59Deal with everyone here
27:00but remember
27:02my daughter's
27:02are his orders.
27:04Spare their lives.
27:06Then
27:06he carried me
27:07out of the party
27:08without another word.
27:11Ethan tried to
27:12chase after us.
27:13No!
27:14Amelia you know
27:15I love you the most
27:16don't leave me!
27:24I already gave you
27:25one chance.
27:26My daughter needs
27:27to be treated.
27:28If you keep bothering
27:29us
27:29I'll destroy
27:30the Rolling Stones
27:30completely.
27:40Behind him
27:41my father's men
27:42were taking care
27:43of Charlotte
27:43and her friends.
27:44They were pushed
27:45into a tub
27:45full of champagne.
27:47They felt
27:47the suffocating
27:48panic
27:49I had just
27:49experienced.
27:50Ethan!
28:00They were nearly
28:01drowned
28:02before someone
28:03finally pulled
28:04them out.
28:05Charlotte
28:06was drenched.
28:07She wrapped
28:08her arms
28:08around herself
28:09and ran
28:10to Ethan
28:11sobbing.
28:14Ethan!
28:15They want to
28:16pull all my teeth!
28:18My father knows
28:19I offended
28:20the Reese family
28:21but he doesn't
28:21even care
28:22to bleed
28:22for me.
28:25You have to
28:27save me.
28:27In Ethan's mind
28:28Charlotte came
28:29from a better
28:29family than I did.
28:30She was also
28:31more generous
28:32and considerate.
28:33He once thought
28:33that if Charlotte
28:34were his fiance
28:34he might not
28:35have struggled
28:36so much
28:36in a relationship
28:37but he quickly
28:38dismissed the thought
28:38with a wide smile.
28:43He knew
28:44the only person
28:45he had ever
28:46really loved
28:47was me.
28:47He thought
28:48I did not
28:49come from
28:49a good family.
28:50My career
28:51had not been
28:52that impressive.
28:53I did not
28:54match his
28:54social standing.
28:58Still
28:59he humbled
29:00himself
29:00and set aside
29:01Hood his pride
29:02to love me.
29:03Charlotte had
29:04mocked me
29:04in front of his
29:05friends many times.
29:07She said
29:07I was not
29:08worth his love
29:09and he was
29:09foolish to
29:10chase after me.
29:12He had been
29:13a fool
29:13not to realize
29:14that someone
29:15as perfect
29:15as Charlotte
29:16would want
29:17to hurt me.
29:18He had been
29:19witless enough
29:20to trust her
29:21completely
29:22and lose me
29:23forever.
29:24He stared
29:25at the car
29:25as it vanished
29:26and ignored
29:27Charlotte
29:28and her sobs.
29:29He opened
29:29his mouth
29:30to speak
29:30but he could
29:31not utter a word.
29:33Finally
29:33a tear rolled
29:34down from
29:35his bloodshot eyes.
29:39Back at the
29:39Reese family
29:40villa
29:41under my
29:41father's care
29:42and the
29:43medical team's
29:43attention
29:44I quickly
29:45recovered.
29:46The scars
29:47on my hands
29:48faded into
29:49faint lines.
29:50Returning
29:50home after
29:51three years
29:52I felt a
29:53wave of
29:53emotion.
30:02Since I was
30:03little
30:03my father
30:04had always
30:05worried about
30:05my heart
30:06condition
30:07when he
30:08learned I
30:08wanted to
30:09be an
30:09actress
30:10he feared
30:11my body
30:11would not
30:12be able
30:12to handle
30:13it
30:13and strongly
30:14opposed.
30:15I had been
30:16obedient all
30:17my life
30:18but I once
30:19found the
30:19courage to
30:20run away
30:20in the middle
30:21of the
30:21night.
30:24After
30:24meeting
30:25Ethan
30:25I hid
30:26my identity
30:26because I
30:27was afraid
30:28my father
30:28would find
30:29out.
30:32It was
30:33not until
30:33the day
30:34before
30:34Charlotte's
30:34promotion
30:35party
30:35that I
30:36overheard her
30:37talking to
30:37Ethan.
30:38I learned
30:39that the
30:39Rolling Stone's
30:40success was
30:41because of
30:41my father's
30:42support.
30:43Amelia
30:44I'll support
30:45you.
30:46He found
30:46the world's
30:46top heart
30:47surgeon.
30:48After the
30:48socialry you
30:49continue
30:49pursuing your
30:50dream of
30:51acting.
30:52They said
30:52I had a
30:5290% chance
30:53of a full
30:54recovery.
30:57The night
30:58before my
30:58surgery abroad
30:59someone broke
31:01into the
31:02Reese family
31:02villa.
31:15Prince
31:16De Pesa
31:16the man
31:17who broke
31:17in
31:17is the
31:18boss
31:18of the
31:18Rolling
31:18Stones
31:19Ethan
31:19Cross
31:30came
31:37alone.
31:38He carried
31:39a small
31:39gun.
31:40He had
31:41no men
31:41with him
31:41and did
31:42not hurt
31:42anyone.
31:43He deliberately
31:44smashed things
31:45around the
31:45Reese family
31:45territory and
31:46waited for my
31:47father's men
31:47to catch him
31:48and take him
31:49back to the
31:49villa.
31:50His goal
31:51was clear.
31:52He wanted
31:53to see me.
31:57My father
31:58round slightly
31:59and looked at
31:59me.
32:00Whatever you
32:01decide I'll
32:02support you.
32:03You can let
32:04him in or
32:05send him away.
32:06Let him in.
32:08Take him to
32:09the accounts
32:09office.
32:10Add up the
32:11damage done
32:11and make him
32:12pay ten times
32:12what he owes.
32:14The Rolling
32:15Stones have
32:15had a good run
32:16thanks to my
32:17father.
32:17make sure
32:18the accounts
32:19are settled.
32:20My father
32:20and the men
32:21looked surprised
32:22by my tone.
32:23One of them
32:23paused and
32:24asked,
32:25Prince of
32:26Pesa,
32:27don't you
32:27want to
32:27see him?
32:29I raised
32:30an eyebrow
32:30and continued
32:31folding my
32:32clothes.
32:33What for?
32:34I'm leaving
32:34for my surgery
32:35tomorrow.
32:35I need to
32:36pack.
32:36Make sure
32:37he pays
32:37ten times
32:38in cash.
32:39Don't
32:39excuse
32:39even a
32:40single cent.
32:42My father
32:43and the men
32:43exchanged
32:43glances
32:44and smiled.
32:51I boarded
32:52the plane
32:53as planned.
32:55Everything
32:55for the
32:56surgery
32:56went smoothly.
32:57On the
32:58day of the
32:58surgery,
32:59the sky
32:59was clear
33:00and bright.
33:01The sunlight
33:02felt a promise
33:03of a better
33:04future.
33:11I took a
33:12deep breath
33:13as I was
33:13wheeled into
33:14the operating
33:14room.
33:15The
33:15ensnesialist
33:16gave me
33:17the medicine
33:17and left
33:18the room.
33:20The
33:21surgery
33:21would begin
33:21once the
33:22surgeon
33:22was ready.
33:24I took
33:25slow,
33:26deep breaths,
33:27closed my
33:28eyes,
33:28and hoped
33:29I would
33:29wake up
33:30to a new
33:31life.
33:33Before I
33:34lost
33:34consciousness,
33:35a nurse
33:36suddenly ran
33:36into the
33:37room.
33:38She pulled
33:39down her
33:40mask to
33:40reveal the
33:41scarred,
33:41twisted face.
33:43It was
33:44Charlotte!
33:45After I
33:46returned to
33:46the Reese
33:47family villa,
33:48I had heard
33:48what had
33:48happened to
33:49her.
33:49She
33:50infended
33:50the Reese
33:50family.
33:51Her
33:51sewn
33:51family
33:52abandoned
33:52her
33:52completely.
33:53She
33:53had
33:54always
33:55looked
33:55bright
33:55and
33:55charming,
33:56but
33:56inside
33:57she
33:57was
33:57cruel
33:58and
33:58twisted.
33:59Her
33:59former
33:59victims
34:00found out
34:00that she
34:01had
34:01become
34:01an
34:01outcast
34:02and
34:02had
34:02also
34:02lost
34:03one
34:03of
34:03her
34:03hands.
34:04They
34:04came
34:04after
34:05her
34:05for
34:05revenge.
34:06Even
34:07Ethan,
34:07for some
34:08reason,
34:08ignored
34:08her
34:09completely.
34:14Well,
34:15well,
34:16you finally
34:17fell into
34:17my hands.
34:19Desperate
34:19and ruined,
34:21Charlotte moved
34:21from place
34:22to place
34:22in the
34:22red light
34:23district.
34:24She sold
34:24her body
34:25constantly
34:26for food.
34:27One day,
34:28she argued
34:28with another
34:29woman over
34:29a client
34:30and angered
34:30the local
34:31thugs.
34:39After that,
34:40she vanished
34:41without a trace.
34:46I never thought
34:47she would show
34:48up in my
34:48operating room.
34:54well,
34:55well,
34:56you finally
34:57fell into
34:57my hands.
34:59All those
35:00days sneaking
35:00into this
35:01hospital were
35:01worth it.
35:11all of this
35:13is your fault.
35:14I'll make you
35:15suffer.
35:15I wanted to
35:16scream,
35:17but the
35:17anesthesia kept
35:18me from moving.
35:19Sleep overtook
35:20me faster,
35:21and tears
35:22streamed down
35:22my face.
35:23I did not
35:24want to die
35:25like this.
35:37Charlotte panicked.
35:38She grabbed
35:39a scalpel
35:39and aimed
35:39for my
35:40heart.
35:47a blurry figure
35:49leapt forward
35:50and kicked
35:50Charlotte away.
35:51Charlotte,
35:52acting like a
35:53madman,
35:54jumped up
35:54again and
35:55swung the
35:55scalpel at
35:56me.
35:59Amelia!
36:02The figure
36:03threw himself
36:04around me
36:04and shielded
36:05me.
36:05The knife
36:06pierced his
36:07body,
36:07and he let
36:08out a low
36:08groan.
36:10When the
36:11scalpel struck
36:12his heart,
36:12I finally saw
36:14Ethan's face.
36:15The next
36:15moment,
36:16the anesthesia
36:17took over,
36:18and I slowly
36:19closed my eyes.
36:24When the
36:25doctors and
36:25security rushed
36:26into the
36:26operating room,
36:27Ethan finally
36:28allowed himself
36:29a relieved
36:29smile.
36:30Blood
36:31spurted from
36:31his mouth.
36:35Yeah,
36:37it's okay
36:38now.
36:39When I woke
36:39up,
36:40my heart
36:40surgery had
36:41been completed
36:41successfully.
36:42I opened
36:43my eyes to
36:44see my
36:44father crying
36:45with joy.
36:46I knew my
36:47new life had
36:48really began.
36:51Because of
36:52the attack
36:52before,
36:53three rows
36:54of Reese
36:54family guards
36:55surrounded my
36:56hospital room.
36:58But that
36:58was unnecessary,
36:59the Reese
37:00family issued
37:01a bounty
37:01against her
37:02and her
37:02family.
37:03Spending
37:04the rest
37:04of her
37:04life in
37:05prison was
37:05almost a
37:06relief for
37:06her.
37:12I thought
37:13of Ethan
37:14who had
37:14taken the
37:14blow for
37:15me.
37:16One quiet
37:16night,
37:17my father
37:17walked to
37:18the window
37:18and gently
37:19opened it.
37:20Amelia,
37:21come here.
37:21Look at
37:22the moon.
37:27I stood
37:28up and
37:28walked over.
37:30The night
37:30breeze was
37:31cool.
37:33In the
37:33garden below
37:34among the
37:34shadows of
37:35the trees,
37:36I saw a
37:36familiar figure
37:37leaning on
37:37a cane,
37:38wearing the
37:39same hospital
37:39gown as
37:40me.
37:41He was
37:41staring up
37:42at my
37:42window.
37:43The moment
37:43our eyes
37:44met,
37:44he froze,
37:45then quickly
37:45retreated into
37:46the darkness.
37:47My father
37:48sighed softly.
37:49That boy
37:50is lucky.
37:50The scalpel
37:51missed his
37:51heart by
37:52less than
37:52a centimeter.
37:53The doctors
37:54say he may
37:54develop heart
37:55problems in
37:55the future.
37:56He'll suffer
37:57when it
37:57blames up.
37:58I saved
37:59him.
38:00You're not
38:01angry,
38:01are you?
38:02He glanced
38:02at me
38:03cautiously.
38:04I looked
38:05at the
38:05empty
38:05garden for
38:06a few
38:06seconds,
38:07then reached
38:08out and
38:08slowly closed
38:09the window.
38:10Why would
38:10I be angry?
38:13He saved
38:13my life once
38:14and now
38:15we're even.
38:17From now
38:18on,
38:21we have
38:21nothing to
38:22do with
38:22each other.
38:24The next
38:25morning,
38:26a nurse
38:26came in
38:26to change
38:27my IV.
38:29Mr.
38:30Ethan
38:30discharged
38:30himself
38:31late last
38:31night.
38:32He said
38:33he couldn't
38:33bear to
38:33stay here
38:34any longer.
38:38My father
38:38brought breakfast
38:39in person.
38:41Security
38:41reported he
38:42stood in
38:42the garden
38:42until dawn.
38:45I lowered
38:46my eyes,
38:47stirred the
38:48oatmeal gently
38:48and said
38:49nothing.
38:57Three months
38:58later,
38:59my new
38:59drama became
39:00a massive
39:01hit.
39:01I went
39:02from a
39:02forgotten
39:02actress to
39:03a household
39:04name overnight.
39:05One evening,
39:06I attended a
39:07private dinner
39:07with my father
39:08at an
39:08exclusive
39:09club.
39:27Amelia, I've been
39:28looking for you
39:28for months.
39:29I know I was
39:30wrong.
39:30I was blind.
39:32Please, give me
39:32one chance to
39:33make it up to
39:33you.
39:35You're blocking
39:36my way.
39:38Just five
39:39minutes.
39:40That's all I
39:41ask.
39:54the lady said
39:55no.
39:56Learn to read
39:56the room.
39:59This is between
40:00me and her.
40:05not anymore.
40:07She's with me
40:08tonight.
40:15You're choosing
40:16him over me?
40:17I'm not choosing
40:18anyone.
40:18I already chose
40:19to leave you
40:20three months
40:20ago.
40:33The night
40:34of the movie
40:34premiere arrived.
40:35The red carpet
40:36was lined with
40:37cameras and
40:37screaming fans.
40:39I wore a
40:39stunning gold
40:40gown that
40:41shimmered under
40:41the lights,
40:42walking confidently
40:43down the
40:43carpet.
40:44To me.
40:45Tonight
40:46belonged to
40:47me.
40:56Amelia, I
40:58was wrong.
40:59I should have
41:00believed you.
41:01I watched you
41:02almost die and
41:03did nothing.
41:05Please, give me
41:07one last chance.
41:08I'll spend the
41:09rest of my life
41:09making it up to
41:10you.
41:14You had your
41:15chance, Ethan.
41:16You watched me
41:17lying on the ground
41:18begging for help
41:18and chose to
41:19believe someone
41:19else.
41:20There is
41:21nothing left
41:22between us.
41:24Amelia, please.
41:25I love you.
41:26I'm done with
41:27the past.
41:28Tonight is
41:28about my
41:29future.
41:31I turned
41:32away gracefully.
41:35Shall we,
41:36my leading
41:36lady?
41:37On my
41:37right, Victor
41:38Murata, the
41:39powerful producer,
41:40handed me a
41:40bouquet of
41:41roses.
41:41Jack Warren
41:42appeared on
41:42my left,
41:43offering his
41:44arm with
41:44charming smiles.
41:46For the
41:46brightest star
41:46tonight.
41:52Amelia, go, go.
41:55I can't live
41:55without you.
41:56I never
41:57looked back.
41:59From this
41:59moment on, I
42:00was no longer
42:01anyone's fiance.
42:02I was Amelia
42:03Reese, the heroine
42:04of my own story.
