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 actin-
12:13she raised her voice on purpose to draw everyone's attention
12:16ethan glanced at me then turned away with even more impatience
12:25i did not care about that i bit down on the pain and tried to pull the packet away from
12:29under charlotte's seal charlotte gave me a mocking smile and whispered your heart must
12:34hurt so much you nearly died right there's worse pain yet to come charlotte'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 the waiter who had been pushed aside pointed under
12:54the table and screamed there's blood there's so much blood his cry got everyone's attention
13:02ethan frowned he pushed through the guests and rushed to my side when he saw me he froze
13:08the small cuts on my arm from the broken glass had been ripped open by charlotte's heel
13:12blood flowed and soaked the grass beneath me amelia i'll take you to the hospital now
13:19he did not hesitate and reached to pick me up charlotte 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
13:48blood ran from the wound and mixed with grass and dirt
13:52amelia you have to stop with the pity party you crawled over the glass on purpose to cut
13:58yourself didn't you you're taking advantage of ethan's love for you to make him give in
14:03i feel sorry for him

14:35injured arm as if it were a rag doll don't worry ethan i've treated wounds like these many times before
14:42first we need to disinfect them she 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 the burning pain made my weak heart stop for
15:00a moment my mind cleared a little i spat up blood and managed to say with difficulty

15:15your father a junkie from west street or a drunk from east street my father runs the city

15:28darkness flickered at the edge of my vision i felt numb and could no longer feel the pain
15:35reese you mean the reese family that controls half the mafia world don't listen to her lies
15:40and ethan told me she's a failed actress if 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 ethan's face grew even darker
16:01he turned his back on me and walked away he did not care about me even though i was dying
16:21my body grew stiff
16:24before i blacked out tears blurred my view
16:28papa save me
16:32i called out even though i knew it might just be a hallucination
16:43papa do you really think you are a mafia principessa who is your papa a mindless fan or another sponsor
16:50she saw ethan walk away and grabbed my mud cocked hair
16:55she slapped me hard
17:00my world collapsed into dizzying blackness
17:12face the truth
17:14even if you die by our hands
17:17no 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 i'll make you pay with your lives
17:44my father stormed into the party with a group of mafia men behind him
17:53charlotte and her friends froze when they saw the guns pointed at them
17:57they 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
18:22my body could not hold on anymore
18:25soaked in sweat
18:26i 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
18:57a heart medicine
19:00amelia really has a heart condition
19:02he finally realized that i had told him the truth
19:07his face went pale and his mind went blank

19:33baby

19:42ethan clearly misunderstood my relationship with my father
19:45he clenched his jaw and tried his best to hold back his anger
19:51amelia my love

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 i was narrow-minded
20:03because i could not accept charlotte being with us
20:06he thought all our fights about her were because i was
20:08jealous and petty
20:10but when he faced the same situation
20:13he was far from achieving the magnanimity and generosity that he expected me to display
20:24you fool
20:36you know mr reese and he values you so much you have to save me
20:40this fool is the reason you hid your identity and refuse to come home

21:35ethan froze the reese 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 but three years ago
21:45he suddenly received help from the dawn of the reese family and took control of both the east and west
21:51districts the rolling stones quickly developed into a small mafia family in the nation
22:00everyone believed my father had helped because he saw potential in ethan and the rolling stones
22:05it was no wonder charlotte thought my father who rarely showed his face was close to ethan
22:11my father carefully handed me over to his men
22:13he stood up and looked coldly at ethan
22:18three years ago you saved my daughter so i gave you a gift

23:54then one of my father's men stepped forward and played the security footage from the party
24:00the video clearly showed charlotte pouring a high strength sports drink into my champagne
24:06it also showed her stepping on the medicine packet while i was crawling
24:25how dare you humiliate my daughter like this

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 once questioned him no matter how much ethan doubted or grew impatient with me
25:40that was until today
25:44i thought he chose charlotte over me because she manipulated him

26:44ethan froze in place

26:49the 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
27:00but remember my daughters are his orders
27:03spare their lives
27:06then
27:06he carried me out of the party without another word
27:11ethan tried to chase after us
27:13no
27:14amelia you know i love you the most
27:16don't leave me
27:24i
27:25i already gave you one chance
27:26my daughter needs to be treated
27:27if 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
27:46they felt the suffocating panic i had just experienced
27:50they were nearly drowned before someone finally pulled them out
28:05charlotte was drenched
28:06she wrapped her arms around herself and ran to ethan
28:11sobbing
28:15ethan they want to pull all my teeth
28:18my father knows i offended the reese family but he doesn't even care to plead for me
28:25you have to save me
28:27in ethan's mind charlotte 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 fiance
28:34he might not have struggled so much in a relationship
28:37but he quickly dismissed the thought with a wise smile
28:44he 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
29:02his pride to love me
29:03charlotte had mocked me in front of his friends
29:05many times
29:06she said i was not worth his love
29:09and he was foolish to chase after me
29:12he had been a fool
29:13not to realize that someone
29:15as perfect as charlotte would want to hurt me
29:18he had
29:19been witless enough
29:20to trust her completely
29:22and 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
29:30but he could not utter a word
29:32finally a tear rolled down
29:35from 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
29:48faded into faint lines
29:49returning home after three years
29:52i felt a wave of emotion
30:02since i was little
30:03my 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
30:16all my life
30:18but i once found the courage to run away
30:20in the middle of the night
30:24after meeting ethan
30:25i hid my identity
30:27because i was afraid my father would find out
30:32it was not until the day before charlotte's promotion party
30:35that i overheard her talking to ethan
30:38i learned that the rolling stones
30:40success was because of my father's support
30:43amelia
30:44i'll support you
30:45he found the world's top heart surgeon
30:48after the socialry you continue pursuing your dream of acting
30:51they said i had a 90 percent chance of a full recovery
30:57the night before my surgery abroad
30:59someone broke into the reese family villa
31:12anca
31:15prince depeca
31:16the man who broke in
31:17is the boss of the rolling stones
31:19ethan cross
31:21the king
31:22the king
31:24the king
31:31prince depeca
31:33ethan cross
31:37Ethan came alone. He carried a small gun. He had no men with him and did not hurt anyone.
31:43He deliberately smashed things around the Reese family territory and waited for my father's men to catch him and take
31:49him back to the villa.
31:50His goal was clear. He wanted to see me.
31:57My father round slightly and looked at me.
32:00Whatever you decide, I'll support you. You can let him in or send him away.
32:06Let him in. Take him to the account's office. Add up the damage done and make him pay ten times
32:12what he owes.
32:14The Rolling Stones have had a good run thanks to my father. Make sure the accounts are settled.
32:20My father and the men looked surprised by my tone. One of them paused and asked,
32:25Prince of Pesa, don't you want to see him?
32:29I raised an eyebrow and continued folding my clothes.
32:32What for? I'm leaving for my surgery tomorrow. I need to pack.
32:36Make sure he pays ten times in cash. Don't excuse even a single cent.
32:42My father and the men exchanged glances and smiled.
32:51I boarded the plane as planned.
32:55Everything for the surgery went smoothly.
32:57On the day of the surgery, the sky was clear and bright.
33:01The sunlight felt a promise of a better future.
33:11I took a deep breath as I was wheeled into the operating room.
33:15The ensnesialist gave me the medicine and left the room.
33:20The surgery would begin once the surgeon was ready.
33:24I took slow, deep breaths, closed my eyes, and hoped I would wake up to a new life.
33:33Before I lost consciousness, a nurse suddenly ran into the room.
33:38She pulled down her mask to reveal the scarred, twisted face.
33:43It was Charlotte!
33:45After I returned to the Reese family villa, I had heard what had happened to her.
33:49She infended the Reese family.
33:51Her sewn family abandoned her completely.
33:53She has on the vials' hair always looked bright and charming,
33:56but inside she was cruel and twisted.
33:59Her former victims found out that she had become an outcast
34:02and had also lost one of her hands.
34:04They came after her for revenge.
34:06Even Ethan, for some reason, ignored her completely.
34:14Well, well, you finally fell into my hands.
34:19Desperate and ruined, Charlotte moved from place to place in the red light district.
34:24She sold her body constantly for food.
34:27One day, she argued with another woman over a client and angered the local thugs.
34:39After that, she vanished without a trace.
34:46I never thought she would show up in my operating room.
34:55Well, well.
34:56You finally fell into my hands.
34:59All those days sneaking into this hospital were worth it.
35:12All of this is your fault.
35:14I'll make you suffer.
35:15I wanted to scream, but the anesthesia kept me from moving.
35:19Sleep overtook me faster, and 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 and aimed for my heart.
35:45Yeah.
35:46It's okay now.
35:48A blurry figure leapt forward and kicked Charlotte away.
35:52Charlotte, acting like a madman, jumped up again and swung the scalpel at me.
35:59Amelia!
36:02The figure threw himself around me and shielded me.
36:05The knife pierced his body, and he let out a low groan.
36:10When the scalpel struck his heart, I finally saw Ethan's face.
36:15The next moment, the anesthesia took over, and I slowly closed my eyes.
36:24When the doctors and security rushed into the operating room, Ethan finally allowed himself a relieved smile.
36:30Blood spurted from his mouth.
36:35Yeah.
36:37It's okay now.
36:38When I woke up, my heart surgery had been completed successfully.
36:43I opened my eyes to see my father crying with joy.
36:46I knew my new life had really began.
36:51Because of the attack before, three rows of Reese family guards surrounded my hospital room.
36:58But that was unnecessary.
37:00The Reese family issued a bounty against her and her family.
37:03Spending the rest of her life in prison was almost a relief for her.
37:12I thought of Ethan, who had taken the blow for me.
37:16One quiet night, my father walked to the window and gently opened it.
37:20Amelia, come here.
37:21Look at the moon.
37:24Look at the moon.
37:26Look at the moon.
37:27I stood up and walked over.
37:30The night breeze was cool.
37:33In the garden below, among the shadows of the trees, I saw a familiar figure leaning on a cane, wearing
37:38the same hospital gown as me.
37:41He was staring up at my window.
37:43The moment our eyes met, he froze, then quickly retreated into the darkness.
37:47My father sighed softly.
37:49That boy is lucky.
37:50The scalpel missed his heart by less than a centimeter.
37:53The doctors say he may develop heart problems in the future.
37:56He'll suffer when it blames up.
37:58I saved him.
38:00You're not angry, are you?
38:02He glanced at me cautiously.
38:04I looked at the empty garden for a few seconds, then reached out and slowly closed the window.
38:10Why would I be angry?
38:13He saved my life once, and now we're even.
38:17From now on, we have nothing to do with each other.
38:24The next morning, a nurse came in to change my IV.
38:29Mr. Ethan discharged himself late last night.
38:32He said he couldn't bear to stay here any longer.
38:37My father brought breakfast in person.
38:40Security reported he stood in the garden until dawn.
38:45I lowered my eyes, stirred the oatmeal gently, and said nothing.
38:57Three months later, my new drama became a massive hit.
39:01I went from a forgotten actress to a household name overnight.
39:05One evening, I attended a private dinner with my father at an exclusive club.
39:27Amelia, I've been looking for you for months.
39:29I know I was wrong.
39:30I was blind.
39:32Please, give me one chance to make it up to you.
39:35You're blocking my way.
39:38Just five minutes, that's all I ask.
39:54The lady said no.
39:56Learn to read the room.
39:59This is between me and her.
40:05Not anymore.
40:07She's with me tonight.
40:15You're choosing him over me?
40:17I'm not choosing anyone.
40:18I already chose to leave you three months ago.
40:33The night of the movie premiere arrived.
40:35The red carpet was lined with cameras and screaming fans.
40:38I wore a stunning gold gown that shimmered under the lights, walking confidently down the carpet.
40:44To me.
40:45Tonight belonged to me.
40:56Amelia.
40:57I was wrong.
40:59I was wrong.
40:59I should have believed you.
41:01I watched you almost die and did nothing.
41:06Please, give me one last chance.
41:08I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.
41:14You had your chance, Ethan.
41:16You watched me lying on the ground begging for help and chose to believe someone else.
41:20There is nothing left between us.
41:24Amelia, please.
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, my leading lady?
41:37On my right, Victor Murata, the powerful producer, handed me a bouquet of roses.
41:41Jack Warren appeared on my left, offering his arm with 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, I was no longer anyone's fiance.
42:02I was Amelia Reese, the heroine of my own story.
