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!
12:13She raised her voice on purpose to draw everyone's attention.
12:17Ethan glanced at me, then turned away with even more impatience.
12:25I did not care about that.
12:26I bit down on the pain and tried to pull the packet away from under Charlotte's seal.
12:31Charlotte gave me a mocking smile and whispered,
12:33Your heart must hurt so much you nearly died, right?
12:37There's worse pain yet to come.
12:40Charlotte's eyes went cold.
12:42She lifted her foot and kicked my outstretched arm.
12:47I felt numb and could not even make a sound.
12:51The waiter who had been pushed aside pointed under the table and screamed,
12:55There's blood! There's so much blood!
13:00His cry got everyone's attention.
13:02Ethan frowned.
13:03He pushed through the guests and rushed to my side.
13:06When he saw me, he froze.
13:08The small cuts on my arm from the broken glass had been ripped open by Charlotte's heel.
13:13Blood flowed and soaked the grass beneath me.
13:15Amelia! I'll take you to the hospital now!
13:19He did not hesitate and reached to pick me up.
13:22Charlotte showed a flicker of panic.
13:26This is nothing, Ethan. It looks worse than it actually is. It's just a surface wound.
13:32No need for an emergency. I'm a doctor. I can treat her faster than going to the hospital.
13:38She grabbed a glass of liquor and poured it straight onto my wound.
13:45Charlotte acted concerned and lifted my arm.
13:47Blood ran from the wound and mixed with grass and dirt.
13:52Amelia, you have to stop with the pity party.
13:56You crawled over the glass on purpose to cut yourself, didn't you?
13:59You're taking advantage of Ethan's love for you to make him give in.
14:03I feel sorry for him.
14:10Is that it, Amelia?
14:12You knew I couldn't stand seeing someone close to me hurt, so you used such petty tricks to threaten me?
14:17Can't you even put up with such a small thing as this for me?
14:21Listen, Amelia. We aren't leaving this place today. We'll stay until the party ends.
14:26Charlotte, treat her wound.
14:28Whoever helps Amelia will be considered to be against the whole Rolling Stones.
14:32Charlotte grew triumphant. She lifted my injured arm as if it were a rag doll.
14:37Don't worry, Ethan. I've treated wounds like these many times before.
14:42First, we need to disinfect them.
14:45She grabbed a glass of liquor and poured it straight onto my wound.
14:53If Ethan hadn't rescued her, who knows where she'd be now?
14:57The burning pain made my weak heart stop for a moment.
15:01My mind cleared a little.
15:03I spat up blood and managed to say with difficulty,
15:07My father, Reese, won't let you get away with this.
15:15Your father? A junkie from West Street or a drunk from East Street?
15:20My father runs the city hospitals and has close ties with the Rolling Stones.
15:24Don't try to act superior in front of me.
15:28Darkness flickered at the edge of my vision.
15:31I felt numb and could no longer feel the pain.
15:35Reese? You mean the Reese family that controls half the mafia world?
15:38Don't listen to her lies. Ethan told me she's a failed actress.
15:42If Ethan hadn't rescued her, who knows where she'd be now?
15:48The Reese family? Please, this woman will say anything to survive.
15:55After hearing Charlotte's words, they laughed cruelly.
15:59Ethan's face grew even darker.
16:01He turned his back on me and walked away.
16:04He did not care about me, even though I was dying.
16:32He did not care about me, even though I knew it might just be a hallucination.
16:43Papa? Do you really think you are a mafia, Principissa?
16:47Who is your papa? A mindless fan or another sponsor?
16:51She saw Ethan walk away and grabbed my mud-cocked hair.
16:56She slapped me hard.
17:00My world collapsed into dizzying blackness.
17:12Face the truth!
17:15Even if you die by our hands, no one's coming to save you!
17:25Just as I closed my eyes in despair, a furious voice rang in my ear.
17:30I knew it better than any other voice in the world.
17:37How dare you torment my daughter!
17:40I'll make you pay with your lives!
17:44My father stormed into the party with a group of mafia men behind him.
17:52Charlotte and her friends froze when they saw the guns pointed at them.
17:56They let go of me right away and were terrified.
18:04My father pushed through the crowd.
18:07His eyes turned red with anger when he saw me weak and bleeding profusely.
18:22Amelia, my baby!
18:23My body could not hold on anymore.
18:25Soaked in sweat, I collapsed into my father's arms.
18:36Who dares make trouble on the Rolling Stones' turf?
18:40Ethan!
18:44Save me!
18:46When Charlotte saw Ethan, she acted like she had just seen her savior.
18:53He froze as soon as he saw the pill in my father's hand.
19:03He finally realized that I had told him the truth.
19:07His face went pale and his mind went blank.
19:13You hurt my baby.
19:14I'll take your hands for that.
19:25You hurt my baby.
19:27I'll take your hands for that.
19:33Baby.
19:38Who are you?
19:39How dare you call my fiancé your baby?
19:42Ethan clearly misunderstood my relationship with my father.
19:46He clenched his jaw and tried his best to hold back up 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 to the hospital right now.
19:59During the three years we were together,
20:01Ethan often said,
20:02I was narrow-minded because I could not accept Charlotte being with us.
20:06He thought all our fights about her were because I was jealous and petty.
20:11But when he faced the same situation,
20:13he was far from achieving the magnanimity and generosity that he expected me to display.
20:25You fool.
20:36You know Mr. Recy,
20:38and he values you so much you have to save me!
20:40This fool is the reason you hid your identity and refused to come home?
20:48Not anymore.
20:50I want to go home.
20:52Back to the Rees family.
20:57Rees?
20:58The top mafia family in the country?
21:00Amelia's connected to them?
21:15Who are you?
21:16What's your relationship with my fiancé?
21:23That old man must be Amelia's sugar daddy.
21:26Ethan,
21:27didn't the boss of the Recy family help you take over the East District?
21:30You know Mr. Recy,
21:32and he values you so much you have to save me!
21:35Ethan froze.
21:36The Rees family had many branches and held power across the country.
21:40Ethan used to be the mere leader of a gang of small-time thugs.
21:44But three years ago,
21:45he suddenly received help from the dawn of the Rees family
21:48and took control of both the East and West districts.
21:52The Rolling Stones quickly developed into a small mafia family in the nation.
22:00Everyone believed my father had helped
22:02because he saw potential in Ethan and the Rolling Stones.
22:05It was no wonder Charlotte thought my father,
22:08who rarely showed his face,
22:10was close to Ethan.
22:11My father carefully handed me over to his men.
22:14He stood up and looked coldly at Ethan.
22:18Three years ago,
22:19you saved my daughter,
22:20so I gave you a gift.
22:22I, David Rees,
22:24consider my debt with you,
22:25Ethan Cross,
22:27fulfilled henceforth.
22:34But someone has to pay
22:36for what my daughter suffered today.
22:40David Rees?
22:42You're Mr. Rees?
22:44Amelia is your daughter?
22:46I'm sorry, Mr. Rees.
22:48I didn't know who Amelia really was.
22:51I was just joking around with her.
22:53Please have mercy.
22:54Joking?
22:56Then let me play a John U, too.
23:01Charlotte clutched her arm
23:02and screamed in pain.
23:15My arm!
23:17No!
23:18No!
23:19I just got promoted!
23:21How am I supposed to operate now?
23:25I can't stand loud people.
23:28If you're unhappy that I only took your right hand,
23:32then I can make it so that I take your other one as well.
23:40No!
23:41It's not like that!
23:42Ethan, please!
23:43You know that I had no idea about Amelia's condition.
23:45I even tried to treat her wound!
23:47Please tell him!
23:48When my father did not respond,
23:50she turned to Ethan.
23:52Ethan frowned.
23:53He looked conflicted.
23:54Then, one of my father's men
23:57stepped forward
23:57and played the security footage from the party.
24:00The video clearly showed Charlotte
24:03pouring a high-strength sports drink
24:05into my champagne.
24:06It also showed her stepping on the medicine packet
24:09while I was crawling.
24:25How dare you humiliate my daughter like this?
24:29I'll make you disappear.
24:34Please!
24:35Tell her to spare me!
24:39Charlotte was terrified.
24:44No, please!
24:45Ethan, you're Amelia's fiancé!
24:47You saved her once!
24:49Please!
24:50Tell her to spare me!
24:57Get off me!
24:59You lied to me and almost killed Amelia!
25:01How dare you ask me for help!
25:08You can't let me die!
25:09My father saved your life once!
25:11You promised him you'd protect me!
25:13You saved Amelia,
25:15so you have to save me too!
25:18Ethan froze for a moment.
25:21Ethan froze for a moment.
25:22He looked at me.
25:25His eyes were filled with conflict and hesitation.
25:31Charlotte had come between us.
25:34But I had never asked me for a moment.
25:36But I had never once questioned him,
25:37no matter how much Ethan doubted or grew impatient with me.
25:40That was until today.
25:45I thought he chose Charlotte over me because she manipulated him.
25:49I did not expect that,
25:50even after finding out the whole truth,
25:52he would hesitate to choose between us.
25:56my father sneered.
26:00Get off me!
26:02You lied to me and almost killed Amelia!
26:04How dare you ask me for help!
26:07Stop!
26:08A life for a life.
26:09We're even.
26:10I took a deep breath and stopped him.
26:20Papa, that's enough.
26:29Amelia,
26:30I knew it!
26:31I knew you'd forgive me!
26:35Stop!
26:36A life for a life.
26:37We're even.
26:38I spared Charlotte for you.
26:40From now on,
26:42we have nothing to do with each other.
26:45Ethan froze in place.
26:47What did you just say?
26:49At that moment,
26:50the Reese family's medical car screeched to a stop at the entrance of the party.
26:54My father lifted me into his arms and said to the remaining mafia members,
26:59Deal with everyone here.
27:01But remember my daughter's orders.
27:04Spare their lives.
27:06Then,
27:07he carried me out of the party without another word.
27:11Ethan tried to chase after us.
27:13No!
27:14Amelia,
27:15you know I love you the most!
27:16Don't leave me!
27:24I already gave you one chance.
27:26My daughter needs to be treated.
27:28If you keep bothering us,
27:29I'll destroy the Rolling Stones completely.
27:40Behind him,
27:41my father's men were taking care of Charlotte and her friends.
27:44They were pushed into a tub full of champagne.
27:47They felt the suffocating panic I had just experienced.
27:50Ethan!
27:51Ethan!
28:00They were nearly drowned before someone finally pulled them out.
28:05Charlotte was drenched.
28:07She wrapped her arms around herself and ran to Ethan,
28:11sobbing.
28:15Ethan!
28:15They want to pull all my teeth!
28:18My father knows I offended the Reese family,
28:21but he doesn't even care to plead for me.
28:26You have to save me.
28:27In Ethan's mind,
28:28Charlotte came from a better family than I did.
28:30She was also more generous and considerate.
28:33He once thought that if Charlotte were his fiancé,
28:35he might not have struggled so much in a relationship.
28:37But he quickly dismissed the thought with a wise smile.
28:43He knew the only person he had ever really loved was me.
28:47He thought I did not come from a good family.
28:50My career had not been that impressive.
28:53I did not match his social standing.
28:58Still,
28:59he humbled himself and set aside Hood his pride to love me.
29:03Charlotte had mocked me in front of his friends many times.
29:07She said I was not worth his love,
29:09and he was foolish to chase after me.
29:12He had been a fool not to realize
29:14that someone as perfect as Charlotte would want to hurt me.
29:18He had been witless enough
29:20to trust her completely and lose me forever.
29:24He stared at the car as it vanished
29:26and ignored Charlotte and her sobs.
29:29He opened his mouth to speak,
29:31but he could not utter a word.
29:32Finally,
29:33a tear rolled down from his bloodshot eyes.
29:39Back at the Reese family villa,
29:41under my father's care
29:42and the medical team's attention,
29:44I quickly recovered.
29:46The scars on my hands faded into faint lines.
29:50Returning home after three years,
29:52I felt a wave of emotion.
30:02Since I was little,
30:04my father had always worried about my heart condition.
30:07When he learned I wanted to be an actress,
30:10he feared my body would not be able to handle it
30:13and strongly opposed.
30:15I had been obedient all my life,
30:18but I once found the courage
30:20to run away in the middle of the night.
30:24After meeting Ethan,
30:25I hid my identity
30:26because I was afraid my father would find out.
30:32It was not until the day
30:34before Charlotte's promotion party
30:35that I overheard her talking to Ethan.
30:38I learned that the Rolling Stones' success
30:41was because of my father's support.
30:43Amelia, I'll support you.
30:45He found the world's top heart surgeon.
30:48After the socialry,
30:49you can tinge you pursuing your dream of acting.
30:52They said I had a 90% chance of a full recovery.
30:57The night before my surgery abroad,
31:00someone broke into the Reese family villa.
31:15Prince DiPesa,
31:16the man who broke in,
31:17is the boss of the Rolling Stones,
31:19Ethan Cross.
31:37Ethan came alone.
31:38He carried a small gun.
31:40He had no men with him
31:41and did not hurt anyone.
31:43He deliberately smashed things
31:45around the Reese family territory
31:46and waited for my father's men
31:47to catch him
31:48and take him back to the villa.
31:50His goal was clear.
31:52He wanted to see me.
31:57My father round slightly
31:59and looked at me.
32:00Whatever you decide,
32:02I'll support you.
32:03You can let him in
32:04or send him away.
32:06Let him in.
32:08Take him to the account's office.
32:10Add up the damage done
32:11and make him pay ten times
32:12and make him pay ten times what he owes.
32:14The Rolling Stones have had a good run
32:16thanks to my father.
32:18Make sure the accounts are settled.
32:20My father and the men
32:21looked surprised by my tone.
32:23One of them paused and asked,
32:25Prince DiPesa,
32:27don't you want to see him?
32:29I raised an eyebrow
32:30and continued folding my clothes.
32:33What for?
32:34I'm leaving for my surgery tomorrow.
32:35I need to pack.
32:36Make sure he pays ten times in cash.
32:39Don't excuse even a single cent.
32:42My father and the men
32:43exchanged glances and smiled.
32:51I boarded the plane as planned.
32:55Everything for the surgery went smoothly.
32:57On the day of the surgery,
32:59the sky was clear and bright.
33:01The sunlight felt a promise
33:03of a better future.
33:11I took a deep breath
33:13as I was wheeled
33:14into the operating room.
33:15The ensnesialist gave me the medicine
33:17and left the room.
33:20The surgery would begin
33:21once the surgeon was ready.
33:24I took slow, deep breaths,
33:27closed my eyes,
33:28and hoped I would wake up
33:30to a new life.
33:33Before I lost consciousness,
33:35a nurse suddenly ran into the room.
33:38She pulled down her mask
33:40to reveal the scarred, twisted face.
33:43It was Charlotte!
33:45After I returned
33:46to the Reese family villa,
33:48I had heard what had happened to her.
33:49She infended the Reese family.
33:51Her sewn family
33:52abandoned her completely.
33:53She has on the vial's hair
33:54always looked bright and charming,
33:56but inside,
33:57she was cruel and twisted.
33:59Her former victims found out
34:00that she had become an outcast
34:02and had also lost one of her hands.
34:04They came after her for revenge.
34:06Even Ethan,
34:07for some reason,
34:08ignored her completely.
34:14Well, well.
34:16You finally fell into my hands.
34:19Desperate and ruined,
34:20Charlotte moved from place to place
34:22in the red light district.
34:24She sold her body
34:25constantly for food.
34:27One day,
34:28she argued with another woman
34:29over a client
34:30and angered the local thugs.
34:39After that,
34:40she vanished without a trace.
34:46I never thought
34:47she would show up
34:48in my operating room.
34:54Well, well.
34:56You finally fell into my hands.
34:59All those days
35:00sneaking into this hospital
35:01were worth it.
35:12All of this
35:13is your fault.
35:14I'll make you suffer.
35:15I wanted to scream,
35:17but the anesthesia
35:18kept me from moving.
35:19Sleep overtook me faster,
35:21and tears streamed down my face.
35:23I did not want to die like this.
35:27Amelia, hurry!
35:29Somebody help!
35:34Damn it!
35:35How are you always this lucky?
35:36Go to hell!
35:37Charlotte panicked.
35:38She grabbed a scalpel
35:39and aimed for my heart.
35:45Yeah.
35:46It's okay now.
35:48A blurry figure
35:49leapt forward
35:50and kicked Charlotte away.
35:52Charlotte,
35:52acting like a madman,
35:54jumped up again
35:54and swung the scalpel at me.
35:59Amelia!
36:02The figure threw himself
36:04around me
36:04and shielded me.
36:05The knife
36:06pierced his body
36:07and he let out
36:08a low groan.
36:10When the scalpel
36:11struck his heart,
36:12I finally saw
36:14Ethan's face.
36:15The next moment,
36:16the anesthesia
36:17took over
36:17and I slowly
36:19closed my eyes.
36:24When the doctors
36:25and security
36:26rushed into
36:26the operating room,
36:27Ethan finally
36:28allowed himself
36:29a relieved smile.
36:30Blood spurted
36:31from his mouth.
36:35Yeah.
36:37It's okay now.
36:38When I woke up,
36:40my heart surgery
36:41had been completed
36:41successfully.
36:42I opened my eyes
36:44to see my father
36:44crying with joy.
36:46I knew my new life
36:47had really began.
36:51Because of the attack
36:52before,
36:53three rows of
36:54Reese family guards
36:55surrounded my
36:56hospital room.
36:58But that was
36:59unnecessary.
37:00The Reese family
37:01issued a bounty
37:01against her
37:02and her family.
37:03Spending the rest
37:04of her life
37:05in prison
37:05was almost
37:06a relief for her.
37:12I thought of Ethan
37:14who had taken
37:14the blow for me.
37:16One quiet night,
37:17my father walked
37:18to the window
37:18and gently opened it.
37:20Amelia,
37:21come here.
37:21Look at the moon.
37:27I stood up
37:28and walked over.
37:30The night breeze
37:31was cool.
37:33In the garden
37:34below,
37:34among the shadows
37:35of the trees,
37:36I saw a familiar
37:36figure leaning
37:37on a cane,
37:38wearing the same
37:39hospital gown
37:40as me.
37:41He was staring
37:42up at my window.
37:43The moment our
37:43eyes met,
37:44he froze,
37:45then quickly
37:45retreated
37:46into the darkness.
37:47My father
37:48sighed softly.
37:49That boy is lucky.
37:50The scalpel missed
37:51his heart by less
37:52than a centimeter.
37:53The doctors say
37:54he may develop
37:54heart problems
37:55in the future.
37:56He'll suffer
37:57when it blames up.
37:58I saved him.
38:00You're not angry,
38:01are you?
38:02He glanced at me
38:03cautiously.
38:04I looked at the
38:05empty garden
38:06for a few seconds,
38:07then reached out
38:08and slowly closed
38:09the window.
38:10Why would I be angry?
38:13He saved my life
38:14once,
38:14and now we're even.
38:17From now on,
38:21we have nothing
38:22to do with each other.
38:24The next morning,
38:26a nurse came in
38:26to change my IV.
38:29Mr. Ethan
38:30discharged himself
38:31late last night.
38:32He said he couldn't
38:33bear to stay here
38:34any longer.
38:37My father brought
38:39breakfast in person.
38:41Security reported
38:42he stood in the garden
38:42until dawn.
38:45I lowered my eyes,
38:47stirred the oatmeal
38:48gently,
38:48and said nothing.
38:50Nothing.
38:57Three months later,
38:59my new drama
39:00became a massive hit.
39:01I went from
39:02a forgotten actress
39:03to a household name
39:04overnight.
39:05One evening,
39:06I attended a private
39:07dinner with my father
39:08at an exclusive club.
39:26Amelia,
39:28I've been looking
39:28for you for months.
39:29I know I was wrong.
39:30I was blind.
39:32Please,
39:32give me one chance
39:33to make it up to you.
39:35You're blocking
39:36my way.
39:38Just five minutes.
39:40That's all I ask.
39:54The lady said no.
39:56Learn to read the room.
39:59This is between me
40:00and her.
40:05Not anymore.
40:07She's with me tonight.
40:15You're choosing him
40:16over me?
40:17I'm not choosing anyone.
40:18I already chose
40:19to leave you
40:20three months ago.
40:33The night of the movie
40:34premiere arrived.
40:35The red carpet
40:36was lined with cameras
40:37and screaming fans.
40:39I wore a stunning gold gown
40:40that shimmered under the lights,
40:42walking confidently
40:43down the carpet.
40:44To me.
40:45Tonight belonged to me.
40:48To me.
40:56Amelia,
40:57I was wrong.
40:59I should have believed you.
41:01I watched you almost die
41:02and did nothing.
41:05Please,
41:06give me one last chance.
41:08I'll spend the rest of my life
41:09making it up to you.
41:14You had your chance, Ethan.
41:16You watched me lying on the ground
41:18begging for help
41:18and chose to believe
41:19someone else.
41:21There is nothing
41:21left between us.
41:24Amelia,
41:24please.
41:25I love you.
41:26I'm done with the past.
41:28Tonight is about my future.
41:31I turned away gracefully.
41:35Shall we,
41:36my leading lady?
41:37On my right,
41:38Victor Morata,
41:38the powerful producer,
41:40handed me a bouquet of roses.
41:41Jack Warren
41:42appeared on my left,
41:43offering his arm
41:44with charming smiles.
41:46For the brightest star tonight.
41:52Amelia,
41:53go, go.
41:55I can't live without you.
41:56I never looked back.
41:59From this moment on,
42:00I was no longer
42:01anyone's fiance.
42:02I was Amelia Reese,
42:03the heroine of my own story.
