01:00I've sent the material to your email
01:01I'm on my way
01:05Who is she? Where are you going?
01:08Our deal is over
01:09Fill in any amount on the check on the table
01:11And move out by tomorrow
01:14You think I'm only after your money?
01:16So we are only bound by the contract, huh?
01:19Fine
01:22I don't want your money
01:24I'm pregnant
01:25And it's yours
01:27You know the agreement
01:30Take your medication on time
01:32Don't worry
01:33I won't disturb your wedding
01:38Why do you feel heartbroken?
01:52Is it you?
01:58Mrs. Veronica
01:59If you don't pay the hospital fees
02:01We'll have to discharge your mother
02:02I know
02:03I get it
02:03I'll get the money soon
02:10Dad
02:12About my mom's medical expense
02:16Those seem like my shoes
02:19Mr. Roy
02:20You're right
02:21It's my daughter who saved you
02:23This is my daughter
02:30Listen, we have guests now
02:32If you still want money
02:33Keep your mouth shut
02:35And go back to your room
02:39Who's that?
02:40She sounds familiar
02:42Sorry, Mr. Roy
02:43It's just a servant's child
02:44Let's continue
02:45Miss, are these shoes yours?
02:47Yes, Mr. Roy
02:48I'm Elena
02:49These are the shoes I lost when I saved you
02:51Did you get hurt?
02:53When you saved me?
02:56I remember that on your call of a tone
02:58There's a
02:59Oh, right
02:59There's a birthmark on her call of a tone
03:01Yes
03:02But you're not asking to see it now, right?
03:05I won't be so rude
03:06Thank you for saving my life
03:08Please tell me what do you want
03:09I'll make it happen
03:11You're too nice
03:12I don't really need anything
03:13Please
03:14Give me a chance to thank you properly
03:16Then
03:19Marry me
03:19That figure seemed familiar
03:28Aren't those shoes?
03:29The ones I lost five years ago?
03:32We found some old stuff in the storage room
03:34Who cares whose they are?
03:35Anyway, let me tell you some good news
03:37Your sister is getting married soon
03:39That's right
03:40My dear sister, be my bridesmaid
03:42Congratulations, Elena
03:44Oh, sister, are you back this time?
03:47To jay money for your mom's trialed?
03:49Don't feel embarrassed
03:52Here
03:53Take it
03:57I'm throwing an engagement party here tonight
04:00Dance for us
04:01And the money is yours
04:02All right
04:03What time is it?
04:05Eight sharp
04:06Oh, besides
04:07My fiance will be here
04:08Looking forward to it
04:10She doesn't know who Lawrence is
04:13Right?
04:14It doesn't matter
04:16I have the shoes
04:20He'll believe me
04:28I heard Elena's sister is performing tonight
04:31Exotic dancer
04:37Veronica, come and meet my fiance
04:41This is my fiance
04:42Mr. Lawrence Roy
04:48Darling, this is tonight's surprise
04:50Veronica
04:53It's a pleasure to meet you
04:55A pleasure to meet you?
04:58I've heard so much about you
05:01Mr. Roy
05:05Wait
05:05These shoes are filthy
05:07They'll ruin my father's marble floor
05:09Without the ballet shoes
05:11I can't dance
05:12True artists don't need fancy tools
05:21Think about your mother's medical fee
05:24Dance
05:25Or piss off
05:28Fine
05:29Stop wasting time
05:31Dance
05:51Enough, Veronica
05:56I said enough
05:58Are you trying to ruin my banquet?
06:02Why bother?
06:27Why are you dancing ballet here?
06:29I'm a ballet dancer
06:31I only dance ballet
06:33Don't work here
06:34From now on
06:36You'll dance only for me
06:39How silly of me
06:41To think he would do the same
06:51What are you doing here?
06:54You've ruined my engagement party
06:57I danced
06:58Give me the money
07:00Money?
07:01After you ruined everything
07:03And totally embarrassed me?
07:05Your mom should have died long ago
07:07You two deserve to go to hell
07:22Mom, I'm sorry
07:23Mom, I'm sorry
07:24I fucked up again
07:26And I didn't get the money
07:28Mom, I'm pregnant with Lawrence's baby
07:33I don't want to have anything to do with him
07:36And he's intending to hold me accountable for a breach
07:39I can't drag this baby into our mess
07:42When I finish everything here, I'll get you transferred
07:46Let's find a place where no one knows us
07:59Find her
08:00She's not going anywhere without my permission
08:10Are you sure you want an abortion?
08:15Yes
08:16A family member needs to sign
08:21I'll sign it
08:34Get out
08:39Why are you here?
08:47I own this hospital
08:50Move
08:52Listen, without my permission
08:56Don't even think about getting rid of it
08:58Why?
08:59You're going to get married
09:01This is my child
09:02And you
09:04Must deliver it
09:09Before that
09:10You're not allowed to go anywhere
09:13You have no right to
09:15From now on
09:16You're my personal assistant
09:1724-7
09:19What did you say?
09:21Don't forget
09:22You still owe me a penalty fee
09:25Lee will send you the address
09:278 tomorrow morning
09:28Meet me at the office
09:33This is what he called a personal assistant?
09:36There's nothing I can do
09:42Postpone this afternoon's meeting to 4am
09:44Re-revise the merger and acquisition document
09:46Yes, sir
09:51Sir, here's the background information you requested
09:54Inform the security team that Elena will be there tomorrow
09:59Coffee
10:04Too sweet
10:06Do it again
10:06I didn't put sugar in it
10:14Don't move
10:15Let go
10:17Are you doing this on purpose?
10:21You think I'd throw myself into the arms of a man who's about to get married?
10:53Sir
10:55Miss Elena is coming this way
11:07Don't let her see me
11:22Don't let her see me
11:26Please
11:29You don't want anyone to see us together?
11:32Are you insane?
11:34Your fiancé is outside the door right now
11:36So?
11:43Miss Elena
11:44Mr. Lawrence is
11:45He's busy
11:46Please wait
11:49So you don't want her to find out that her fiancé is having an affair with another woman, right?
11:54An affair?
11:58Remember
11:58You're pregnant with my child first
12:08Busy?
12:08I have to wait to meet him
12:10I'll go in and talk to him myself
12:11Open the door
12:17Darling
12:18Do you miss me?
12:20What brings you here?
12:21I'm here to see you
12:22Secretary Lee said you were busy
12:24What's keeping you occupied?
12:26Schedule is a bit tight recently
12:27You'll keep me company at the charity gala tomorrow, right?
12:30I don't want to face those annoying things socialers on my own
12:33Sure
12:35That's more like it
12:37Oh, can I use your lounge?
12:40Why?
12:40I've been shopping the whole afternoon
12:42I'm exhausted
12:43I want to rest on your bed before I leave
12:48No problem
12:51What's that sound?
13:06Miss Elena
13:07Mr. Lawrence prepared a gift for you
13:10It's in the car downstairs
13:11Would you like to take a look?
13:13A gift?
13:14What gift?
13:15It's the limited edition you pecked the last time necklace
13:18Mr. Lawrence ordered it from Paris
13:20You're such a sweetheart
13:21Show it to me
13:33Why didn't you want her to find you?
13:36If I tell you
13:37Can you advance me six months' salary?
13:40Are you qualified to negotiate with me?
13:42I said
13:42Can you?
13:44What leverage do you have?
13:46Never mind
13:48Tell me
13:49Fine
13:50Starting tomorrow
13:51You're fired
13:52Don't forget that you still owe me the penalty fee
13:55If you don't come to work
13:57Just wait to pay back the money
13:59You
14:00I'm giving you three seconds
14:01One
14:03Two
14:04She's my sister
14:05What did you say?
14:08Elena is my sister
14:12Five years ago
14:13Your daughter saved my life
14:14At West For Eternity
14:15You're from the Crower family?
14:23So
14:24You're George Crowdy's daughter
14:27What does it have to do with you?
14:33Can you give it to me?
14:34The money?
14:35Why do you need money?
14:36Find a father for my child
14:37It deserves a dad
14:42There's no need to upset me
14:44After you give birth to the kid
14:46You'll get your payment
14:48What if I want it now?
14:50Then prove yourself
14:51Finish this today
14:53And I'll pay you
14:56Deal
15:06Miss Veronica
15:07Here's your drink
15:08No, thanks
15:10Mr. Roy
15:11He doesn't mean it that way
15:13He's just
15:13You don't need to speak for him
15:15I know perfectly well
15:17What he thinks of me
15:17Miss Veronica
15:18It's done
15:20Remind your boss
15:21To keep his promise
15:26Sir
15:26Miss Veronica
15:28Has finished her cinch
15:29Well
15:29Transfer the money to her
15:31Sir
15:31Miss Veronica
15:33Is also Mr. Crowett's daughter
15:34Could she be the one
15:36Who saved you five years ago?
15:38Those shoes belong to Elena
15:41Wait
15:41Make an appointment with Elena
15:43Tell her to wear the dress
15:45From five years ago
15:48Darling
15:48Thank you for making time
15:50To choose my wedding dress
15:52Why didn't you wear that dress?
15:54It's been five years
15:55There's no way I'm still keeping it
15:57But as I recall
15:58You didn't wear a dress then
16:00You seem to have a lot of secrets
16:02I don't remember
16:04What secrets could I possibly have?
16:07Haven't you investigated everything?
16:09If that's true
16:10I wouldn't have just figured out
16:11That Veronica is your sister
16:13Well
16:14I don't think that's relevant
16:15She not important
16:17Elena
16:18I hope you didn't hide anything from me
16:38You?
16:39Why are you here?
16:45It'd be ideal to choose the wedding dress with family
16:48So I invited your sister
16:50You wouldn't mind, right?
16:54Let me try this one first
16:59Why don't you pick a bridesmaid dress
17:01Instead of standing here
17:02Sister
17:17What are you doing?
17:19Do you want a wedding dress too?
17:21Have you found anyone with the money?
17:24Have you lost your mind?
17:25Elena is still here
17:29Answer me
17:30Let go
17:31Is there anything I can do
17:33That can help you?
17:42I...
17:42I'm gonna try this
17:47Psycho
17:57You...
17:58How can you get in here?
18:00Leave!
18:01Do you think you can escape from me?
18:07I've never noticed that you have a birthmark here
18:09You never cared about these details
18:16Stop!
18:17Stop it
18:18Darling
18:18Where are you?
18:20Ah
18:21Ah
18:24Everyone listen
18:25This whole thing is a mistake
18:27I'm the Harmon bride
18:29The day before the wedding
18:30I just found out that my fiancé is already married
18:33Not the past
18:35But now
18:35The bride is his closest friend
18:37I didn't cry
18:38Nor did I make a scene
18:40I just suddenly wonder
18:41If marriage can be a joke
18:42Then what were these six years of mine?
18:44I photographed it and texted him
18:45Explain this
18:46I figured it was some kind of prank
18:48Then his friend's voice message came through
18:5060 seconds
18:53Hey
18:53I'm so sorry
18:54We were at a bar last night
18:55Had a stupid idea
18:56Got a little drunk
18:57And just
18:58Went and did it
18:59Don't worry
18:59Once the 30 day waiting period is up
19:01We're filing for divorce immediately
19:02We'll give him right back to you
19:04I was quiet for two seconds
19:05Then I blocked her
19:07Three hours later
19:08Ethan came home
19:09I was already at the bottom of the stairs
19:10Luggage in tow
19:11He glanced at the certificates
19:13Sitting on the coffee table
19:14And pressed two fingers to his temple
19:16It's not a big deal
19:18She was just messing around
19:19You're really gonna hold this over everyone?
19:21You've been waiting for this wedding for six years
19:23You can't wait one more month?
19:25I smiled
19:26I didn't deny it
19:27No
19:28I can't
19:29Ethan blinked
19:30He stepped in front of me on instinct
19:33Mia, stop
19:34Don't do this
19:35The invitations are already out
19:37If you leave now
19:38What are our families supposed to do?
19:40I moved his hand aside and kept walking
19:42His voice finally went cold
19:44You're gonna throw away six years over something this small?
19:46I stopped
19:47I turned around
19:48Six years?
19:50Ethan
19:51When you signed that certificate with her
19:53Did you think about those six years at all?
19:55He had nothing
19:56He forced out something useless
19:59The bar was loud
20:00The guys kept pouring drinks
20:02She took a lot of them for me
20:03She was pretty out of it herself
20:04Everyone was egging us on
20:06I wasn't thinking straight
20:07They basically dragged us there
20:11It was a joke
20:13We'll fix it
20:13I looked at his unbothered face
20:15And didn't even have the energy to argue
20:17A joke
20:18If marriage could be a joke
20:20What in this world was actually serious?
20:22I turned away
20:22His phone rang
20:25He looked at it
20:26It's Cassie
20:27She knows she's screwed up
20:28She wants to apologize to you
20:29I ignored him and opened the door
20:32Cassie was already standing outside
20:33Keys dangling from one hand
20:38You're actually leaving?
20:40I wheeled my suitcase around her
20:41Cassie clicked her tongue and grabbed the handle
20:42Really?
20:43I said I'd apologize
20:44Isn't that enough?
20:46I'm the one who talked him into it
20:47I'm the one who kept pouring
20:48If you're mad
20:49Be mad at me
20:51Don't take it out on Ethan
20:52Cassie
20:53Be respectful
20:54Give her the bag
20:55Cassie didn't give it back
20:57She pulled it further behind her
21:03If I do
21:04Who's he gonna swap rings with tomorrow?
21:06Air?
21:08Look
21:09Unlike you
21:10I don't spend my whole life orbiting some guy with zero career of my own
21:14But even I know
21:15A guy like Ethan
21:16The dinners
21:17The schmoothing
21:18The situational flirtation
21:20That's just business
21:23We grew up together
21:24I helped him fight his battles
21:25You weren't even the picture back then
21:28Getting all dramatic over one little joke
21:30Can't you act like a grown-up?
21:33Since you're so mature
21:34And so concerned about him
21:37Then you go
21:38Tomorrow
21:39To the wedding
21:42You be the main event
21:43That certificate becomes the real thing
21:50I pulled my suitcase back
21:53Cassie's expression cracked
21:54Her chest rose and fell twice
21:56Then she smirked
21:57Fine
21:59She dug into her bag
22:00Pulled out her copy of the certificate
22:03This little thing bothers you that much?
22:05Then I'll just tear it up
22:08Consider it my apology
22:10The certificate split straight down the middle
22:13Cassie dropped both halves on the floor
22:14Done
22:15Happy now?
22:17If you can't take a joke
22:19You can't take a joke
22:20This is so boring
22:21Ethan's expression went dark
22:22Cassie
22:24What are you doing?
22:26Fixing your problem
22:28Certificate's gone
22:29She can calm down now, right?
22:31She turned to me
22:31Satisfied?
22:33Then she shot me a look
22:35Eyes already going red
22:36And ran
22:38Then I looked at Ethan
22:42That's her apology?
22:43He watched the spot
22:45Where she disappeared
22:46Rubbed his forehead
22:47Irritated
22:47She's impulsive
22:48She was trying to let you vent
22:50Let me vent
22:51I nearly laughed
22:53She tore up the marriage certificate
22:56Before you two can file for divorce
22:57You'll have to go replace it
22:59Ethan
23:00She wasn't letting me vent
23:02She was rubbing salt in the wound on purpose
23:04She didn't think that far
23:05Right
23:06She didn't have to
23:07Because in the end
23:08It's not her problem
23:09I stopped looking at him
23:10Grabbed my suitcase
23:12Turned around
23:14The driver helped load it into the trunk
23:19Ethan caught up
23:20Pressed his hand against the door
23:21Before it closed
23:22He leaned down to look at me
23:24Mia
23:25Go to your parents' place
23:26Cool off
23:27Think about whether you're being unreasonable
23:29But tomorrow
23:30Every guest and every reporter will be there
23:32You know how to show up as a proper bride
23:35Our family's reputations are not yours to throw around
23:38I slowly lifted my head
23:39There it was again
23:40Our family's reputations
23:43Six years
23:44Every time Cassie crossed a line in the name of best friends
23:48Because he was sure I couldn't leave
23:50Not emotionally
23:51Not financially
23:52He never once thought about putting distance between himself and Cassie
23:55I did believe nothing physical had happened between them
23:57I spent six happy months planning a wedding
24:00And then
24:00A marriage certificate
24:02A bar
24:03Her name on it next to his
24:04First it was all the small things
24:06Now she'd even slipped herself into the legal definition of his spouse
24:09As a joke
24:11Our family's reputations
24:12I repeated it softly
24:15You keep them
24:16That's your job
24:17The wedding
24:18I'm not coming
24:19As for the bride
24:22I pulled the door shut
24:25Marry whoever you want
24:26The car pulled out
24:28Miss, where to?
24:30The airport
24:31My phone vibrated the whole way there
24:33Ethan
24:33My mom
24:34His mom
24:35Mutual friends
24:37I declined every call
24:38Turned it off
24:39For the first time
24:41I was not being good
24:43And I felt something I hadn't felt in years
24:45Light
24:46But just when I thought I was free
24:48That lightness shattered the moment we pulled up to the terminal
24:51My parents were there
24:52My brother Jamie
24:53And the family's adopted daughter Sierra
24:55Jamie grabbed my suitcase handle
24:57Mia, what is wrong with you?
24:58If you leave, what happens to us?
25:00The comp is on on life support waiting for the Harmon Group investment
25:03My mom took advantage of the distraction and snatched my purse
25:05Sweetheart, I heard everything
25:07Just wait for them to divorce in a month
25:09And it's like it never happened
25:10Stop causing a scene
25:12Sierra drifted over
25:13Sis
25:14I know you're hurting
25:17But we're family
25:19Can't you think of us just this once?
25:22Just this once
25:22Was that really what it was?
25:24At 18
25:24I signed over Grandpa's shares to her
25:26At 21
25:27When she had her eye on someone
25:28I stepped aside from the engagement
25:30Grandpa had arranged for me
25:31An old money family
25:32The Yates
25:33At 22
25:33I drank until I was hospitalized
25:35To smooth over a business dinner for the family
25:36At 25
25:37I took the fall for Jamie's embezzlement
25:39To protect the heir's clean record
25:40Every single time
25:42Written off as family
25:43And it is what you do
25:44Since the day I was brought into this so-called home
25:46Had anyone ever thought about me
25:47My parents' warmth and favoritism
25:49Had always flowed straight to Sierra
25:50The good daughter
25:51The one they'd raised from childhood
25:53Jamie had been carried his whole life
25:54He was a leech
25:55And he knew it
25:56If it hadn't been for Ethan
25:57Walking into my world
25:58Like a light through a window
25:59I wouldn't have lasted this long
26:00He saw through my silence
26:01Understood the things I couldn't say
26:03With him there
26:04Sierra's digs
26:04And my parents' favoritism
26:05Had stayed in check
26:06I fell in love with him
26:07Depended on him
26:08I held on like he was a life raft
26:09I pushed so hard for him
26:11To marry me sooner
26:11Convinced myself that once I had my own home
26:13I could finally leave
26:14This suffocating place behind
26:15For that
26:16I told myself
26:17Cassie's boundary crossing
26:18Was something I could tolerate
26:19But now
26:20Even that last stupid hope was gone
26:22Give me my bag
26:23I held out my hand to my mother
26:24Come home first
26:26We'll talk when you've settled down
26:27Jamie groaned and stamped his foot
26:29Mia
26:29I'm begging you
26:30Just get through this one thing
26:33Once the funding comes in
26:34After that
26:35You can do whatever you want
26:36I looked at this brother
26:37Who'd been pampered his whole life
26:38How much money would it take
26:40To save this family
26:41So it doesn't have to sell off
26:42Another daughter
26:43Jamie flinched
26:43He gave me a number
26:44It was staggering
26:45Pulled out my phone
26:47Found an unsaved number
26:48Pressed call
26:49It rang five times
26:50Before someone picked up
26:51Three million in cash
26:52As a wedding gift
26:53If you agree
26:54We get married tomorrow
26:56Three million in cash
26:58As a wedding gift
26:59If you agree
27:01We get married tomorrow
27:02The breath on the other end paused
27:04Agreed
27:04Okay
27:07Three million
27:07It'll hit the account
27:09Jamie stared at me
27:10Mia
27:10Are you serious?
27:12My parents' faces went from desperate
27:13To flooded with relief
27:14My mom moved to grab my hand
27:16Sweetheart
27:17You can't just talk money with Ethan
27:19Over the phone like that
27:20It damages things
27:22Sis-in-law will think less of you
27:24People will call you a gold digger
27:26All right, all right
27:28The amount doesn't matter
27:30What matters is that it's settled
27:32The original agreement with the Harmons
27:33Was five hundred thousand up front
27:35This time he's offering three million
27:37It means he values Mia
27:40Mia
27:42I don't want to hear you say
27:43Selling daughters again
27:46Embarrassing
27:46You and Sierra are both our girls
27:48We love you the same
27:51You and Sierra are both our girls
27:53We love you the same
27:54If it's the same
27:55Why didn't you offer Sierra for this one?
27:57The Yates are older money than the Harmons
27:58Stronger by a mile
27:59Sierra went white
28:01The Yates were more prominent
28:02And because of it
28:03Stricter about bloodline
28:05When they'd come to discuss the engagement
28:07They'd looked at me the whole time
28:09Sierra hadn't even been formally introduced
28:10At that meeting
28:11The Yates hadn't wanted her
28:13Everyone in that room knew it
28:16Why bring up old history?
28:17Then we won't
28:18The money's coming
28:19Problem solved
28:21Let's go home
28:21You want me walking down the aisle tomorrow
28:23Don't you?
28:23I left without waiting for an answer
28:28Back in the car
28:29My phone buzzed once
28:30But at this hour
28:31There was only one person it could be
28:32A location pin
28:34Then a second message
28:35Tomorrow
28:36I am looking forward to seeing you
28:38In a white dress
28:39Back at the house
28:40The air was thick
28:41I went straight upstairs
28:42The Harmon side had already been told
28:44The bride has returned
28:46Wedding is on
28:47Satisfied presumably
28:48The crisis was over
28:50The ceremony would proceed
28:51That was enough
28:53Whether or not the bride was willing
28:55No one thought to ask
28:56The next morning
28:57The house had none of the warmth
28:58The wedding day should carry
29:00No bustle
29:01No joy
29:01Just a cold and indifferent quiet
29:04My parents only changed into appropriate clothes
29:06When the housekeeper reminded them
29:08Ethan's motorcade arrived on time
29:10His suit was immaculate
29:11His expression composed
29:13The groomsmen surrounded him
29:15The energy among them was easy and warm
29:17But no one from the bride's side came to block the door
29:19They were just awkwardly ushered in
29:21My mom held a practice smile
29:23Jamie looked like he hadn't slept
29:26Ethan scanned the room
29:28No family friends
29:29No laughter
29:31Where is she?
29:32Still getting ready?
29:33Oh
29:33Probably still upstairs doing her makeup
29:36Go check
29:37Is she ready?
29:41Relax
29:41A bride's supposed to make you wait
29:43Ethan's brow stayed locked
29:45He pulled out his phone
29:46And opened Mia's messages
29:47A red exclamation point
29:49His fingers went still
29:51She still has you blocked?
29:53The ceremony's about to start
29:54A cold unease expanded in his chest
29:58Ma'am
29:59The young miss isn't in her room
30:00We checked everywhere
30:01She's gone
30:02What?
30:05By the time they pulled the security footage
30:07They found she'd left hours ago
30:08Ethan's chest went airless
30:10He told her to come back
30:12She'd still pulled this
30:13Ethan
30:14Look at the group chat
30:15Someone posted a video
30:17Wait
30:17Isn't that Mia?
30:19Ethan grabbed the phone
30:20The video was from the same seven star hotel
30:23Where their ceremony was booked
30:25A woman was led toward the bridal suite
30:27By a staff member
30:32See?
30:33I told you
30:34She just wanted a dramatic entrance
30:35She's there
30:36That's what counts
30:37This girl
30:38Couldn't say a word
30:40Gave us all a scare
30:41Let's get to the hotel
30:42Don't miss the timing
30:44The motorcade reached the hotel
30:46Ethan exchanged brief greetings
30:47With arriving guests
30:48It's a wonderful night
30:49It's a beautiful party
30:50I'm so glad you could make it
30:51Thank you
30:51I need to go to the restroom
30:52Excuse me
30:53The officiant was ready
30:54He turned and headed for the bridal suite
30:56He stopped at the flower decorated door
30:59Knocked
30:59Mia's time
31:00Are you ready?
31:02Silence
31:02His expression tightened
31:04He turned the handle
31:10The room was bright and empty
31:11And then the thing that turned his blood to ice
31:13Cassie was standing in the middle of the room
31:15Ethan
31:16You can't just come in
31:18What are you doing in here?
31:20Where's Mia?
31:21His temper surged hard
31:22Why are you yelling at me?
31:24The ceremony was about to start
31:26And she wasn't out yet
31:26I came to check if she needed help
31:29She wasn't here
31:30The dress was just hanging there
31:33I just
31:34It's so beautiful
31:35I couldn't help it
31:37I tried it on
31:39The vein in his temple jumped
31:40Take it off
31:42Now
31:43If Mia sees this
31:44Cassie's lip pressed together
31:45Then someone knocked
31:46Mr. Harmon
31:47The ceremony start time has passed
31:49The officiator's asking if the bride is ready to enter
31:53Also, Mr. Harmon
31:54The ballroom next door has just begun an unscheduled ceremony
31:57The timeline is quite tight on their end
31:59If your side is unable to start just yet
32:01Would you consider briefly yielding the corridor?
32:04We'd hate to disrupt the other event
32:06It's a Yates-Carter wedding
32:10A Yates-Carter wedding
32:13Which Carter?
32:15I'm not entirely sure of the details
32:18A nameless unease moved through him
32:19But he had no time to chase it
32:21He dialed the groomsmen group
32:23Mia's not in the suite
32:24Split up and find her
32:27Then he turned back to the manager
32:28This wedding was booked six months ago
32:30We're not moving
32:31Mr. Harmon, the timing really is
32:33There's no conflict
32:33Let my fiancé hear that her aisle is being cleared for someone else
32:37His voice dropped
32:38She won't be happy
32:41His phone buzzed
32:43A photo from one of the groomsmen
32:44A slender figure in a wedding gown
32:46Half turned on a call
32:48The dress was simpler, elegant
32:51She was stunning
32:51All the tension melted away
32:53He would marry her
32:54He would have a home with Mia
32:56Maybe children soon
32:57Don't you think I looked better in it?
33:00Looks like she didn't love the one I picked
33:02Fine
33:03He pocketed his phone
33:04And turned to go find her
33:05Ethan
33:06Cassie grabbed his arm
33:07She asked the question that broke through every layer of best friends
33:10And it means nothing
33:11When you walked in just now
33:13And saw me in the dress
33:16What did you feel?
33:17He looked at her red-rimmed eyes
33:18At the expensive gown on her body
33:20The faint warmth the photo had put in his face drained away
33:22Cassie in a wedding gown was
33:24Undeniably striking
33:25There was something arresting about it
33:26What he felt toward Cassie was closer to a man's possessiveness
33:29Over someone who belonged in his orbit
33:30Liked feeling needed, admired
33:32But he liked more
33:33The ease of holding two women in careful balance
33:35He'd never imagined having to choose
33:37Cassie's tears
33:38Her question
33:39They tore the paper screen open
33:41He was still for a moment
33:42Not now
33:43His throat moved
33:44He looked past her eyes
33:46Cassie, not now
33:47This isn't the moment
33:48Change out of the dress
33:49He turned and walked out toward Mia
33:51I was on the terrace outside the ballroom finishing a call
33:54I turned to go inside
33:58Mia!
33:58You're here
34:03The groomsman and Cassie poured in behind him
34:05Filling the doorway
34:06Sis-in-law
34:07You're something else
34:08Gave us a serious scare
34:09Wandered over to the next venue
34:12Right
34:13Is this a location comparison?
34:16Didn't like the decor on our side?
34:17Cassie stepped to my side
34:18You nearly gave Ethan a heart attack
34:20She laughed and scanned my gown
34:22That's pretty too
34:24But the star of today isn't here for someone else's party
34:27Come on
34:28Everyone's waiting
34:29By the way
34:30You'd technically be the other woman right now
34:33But
34:34Don't stress about it
34:35We know the truth
34:38Congratulations on the wedding though
34:39I looked at her
34:40Thank you
34:40Her smile stalled
34:42Ethan stepped in front of me
34:43Done with your call?
34:44Let's go back
34:45We've lost time but we can still make it
34:47If you actually like this room set up
34:49I'll talk to the Yates
34:50We might be able to switch
34:52Whatever makes you happy
34:54He said it so naturally
34:55His groomsman watched
34:57Certain waiting for me to do what I'd always done
34:58He reached for me
34:59Palm up
35:00I looked at his face
35:01The handsome face with its faint impatience
35:03In front of everyone watching
35:04I turned slightly and spoke quietly to the hotel attendant at my side
35:08Could you please let the officiner know we're ready to begin?
35:10Of course Mrs. Yates
35:11Mr. Yates has been ready
35:13Mrs. Yates the certainty on Ethan's face split open
35:16He looked at her red rimmed eyes
35:17At the expensive gown on her body
35:19The faint warmth the photo had put in his face drained away
35:21Cassie in a wedding gown was
35:23Undeniably striking
35:24There was something arresting about it
35:26What he felt toward Cassie was closer to a man's possessiveness over someone who belonged in his orbit
35:30Liked feeling needed, admired

35:40He was still for a moment
35:42Not now
35:43His throat moved
35:43He looked past her eyes
35:45Cassie
35:46Not now
35:46This isn't the moment
35:47Change out of the dress
35:48He turned and walked out toward Mia
35:50I was on the terrace outside the ballroom finishing a call
35:53I turned to go inside
35:57Mia!
35:58You're here!
36:03The groomsman and Cassie poured in behind him filling the doorway
36:05Sis-in-law
36:07You're something else
36:07Gave us a serious scare
36:09Wandered over to the next venue?
36:12Right
36:12Is this a location comparison?

36:20She laughed and scanned my gown
36:22That's pretty too
36:23But the star of today isn't here for someone else's party
36:26Come on
36:27Everyone's waiting

36:30You'd technically be the other woman right now
36:33But don't stress about it
36:34We know the truth
36:37Congratulations on the wedding though
36:39I looked at her
36:39Thank you
36:40Her smile stalled
36:41Ethan stepped in front of me
36:42Done with your call?
36:43Let's go back
36:44We've lost time but we can still make it
36:46If you actually like this room set up

36:56Certain waiting for me to do what I'd always done
36:58He reached for me
36:59Palm up
36:59I looked at his face
37:01The handsome face with its faint impatience
37:02In front of everyone watching
37:04I turned slightly and spoke quietly to the hotel attendant at my side
37:07Could you please let the officiner know we're ready to begin?
37:10Of course Mrs. Yates
37:11Mr. Yates has been ready
37:12Mrs. Yates, the certainty on Ethan's face split open
37:15He was betting on the last six years
37:17Betting I'd soften
37:18Betting that none of this was real enough to hold
37:20Somewhere the music had stopped
37:22Every person in the room was watching me
37:24I lifted my eyes
37:25I looked at the man I had loved for six years
37:27And waited on for six years
37:28He looked in this moment very far away
37:30I didn't look at Ethan
37:31I just said it
37:32One word at a time
37:34Ethan
37:35Look carefully
37:35I turned slightly
37:37This dress
37:38You didn't choose it
37:40This ring
37:41You didn't give it
37:42I looked past his pale face
37:44Today
37:44Standing here
37:45Marrying Nathan Yates
37:47That's me
37:47Mia Carter
37:48I paused
37:49One breath
37:50Then the last sentence
37:51The one that severed everything
37:52Your wedding
37:53Your bride
37:53None of that was ever mine
37:55I didn't look at his face go grey
37:57I placed my hand steadily into the curve of Nathan's arm
38:00Let's continue
38:00Nathan looked at me for a moment
38:02Then nodded at the officiant
38:03The next second
38:04The wedding march filled the hall again
38:06Fuller than before
38:06It swept over everything
38:08Nathan walked me forward
38:09Step by steady step toward the altar at the end of the aisle
38:11On both sides guests began to clap
38:13My family's composed expressions had long since collapsed
38:15None of them had seen this coming
38:17That the man I was marrying today had nothing to do with the Harmons they'd spent years courting
38:21That it was the Yates
38:22Who operated on an entirely different level
38:24Who wouldn't have thought twice about the Harmons
38:26As for how I'd gotten Nathan Yates to put 3 million on the table
38:28That was my business
38:29It had nothing to do with their scheming
38:31Nothing to do with the hollow shell my family had become
38:34The guests who had been invited by my family
38:35Who were supposed to be here for the wedding on the other side
38:38Every single one of them had drifted to this room instead
38:40Not out of loyalty to the Carters
38:42Out of instinct for the more valuable alliance
38:44Their applause built into something that filled the entire hall
38:46Behind me silence like a held breath
38:48I didn't need to turn around to picture Ethan's face
38:50But that was no longer mine to carry
38:53The ceremony reached the moment that mattered most
38:55The officiant's voice was warm and measured
38:58Mia Carter
38:59Do you take Nathan Yates to be your husband?
39:02To have and to hold
39:03In sickness and in health
39:04For richer or poorer
39:06For as long as you both shall live
39:08The room held still, every eye on me
39:09I do
39:12No!
39:14Ethan's voice cracked across the room
39:20His eyes were red, fixed on me
39:26Mia, I won't allow it
39:27You're mine
39:28You are leaving with me right now
39:30He lunged toward the altar
39:31Two security guards caught him before he made it two steps
39:34Locking his arms
39:35Get your hands off me
39:36Do you know who I am?
39:37Mia, look at me
39:39I'm the one you're supposed to marry
39:42Nathan, let go of her
39:44The Yates family elders in the front row frowned faintly
39:47But didn't seem alarmed
39:48They had clearly planned for disruption
39:51Then a figure in white burst from the side of the crowd
39:54Cassie
39:54She'd put the gown back on
39:55She pushed to the front
39:57Held her phone high with the screen facing out
39:59And screamed
40:01Everyone listen
40:02This whole thing is a mistake
40:04I'm the Harmon bride
40:09Look at this
40:10We already have a marriage license
40:14Her hands were shaking as she angled the screen toward the guests
40:17The officiant
40:17The Yates family
40:18On the screen
40:19A marriage certificate
40:21Open to the interior page
40:23Look at her
40:24She's the one who went behind my back
40:25She got caught
40:26And now she's running to someone else
40:27I don't care how powerful the Yates are
40:29You can't change the fact that she's the other woman
40:31She will always be a joke
40:32The room erupted
40:34Gasps, whispers
40:36Eyes moving rapidly between Cassie's phone screen and me
40:39My family's faces had gone from blank to ash
40:41Everyone was holding their breath waiting for the Yates to react
40:43Waiting for me to fall apart
40:45Cassie stood tall
40:46Certain she'd just played the card that turned the game
40:49But the first person to crack was not the Yates family
40:51It was not me
40:52It was Ethan
40:55Cassie shut up
40:56What are you saying?
40:56He wrenched his head toward her
40:58Still held by the guards
40:59Voice ripped raw
41:00I'm not lying!
41:01You won't even admit I'm your wife?
41:03Right here in front of everyone?
41:05It's not real!
41:06It was a bar stunt!
41:07It doesn't count!
41:08He couldn't admit it
41:09Not here
41:10Not in the Yates house
41:11Not in front of Mia
41:14Nathan, who had been silent, spoke
41:16If it doesn't count, we can just check the county records
41:19He leaned slightly toward an assistant
41:20And said something low
41:21The assistant nodded and left quickly
41:23Ethan and Cassie were escorted from the room
41:25The assistant lifted his voice
41:29Let's ask everyone to settle
41:30We'll continue with the ceremony
41:33Toasts, the receiving line
41:35Farewells, everything moved to the quiet, mutual warmth
41:38The room felt like what it was supposed to feel like
41:40Two families joining
41:41Genuinely
41:42By the time the last guests filtered out
41:44I sat down in one of the private rooms the hotel had reserved
41:46And let out the first real breath I'd taken all day
41:49Nathan handed me a glass of water
41:51Tired?
41:51His voice was attentive
41:53Not intrusive
41:56Today
41:57Thank you
41:58It was agreed to
41:59The Yates keep their word
42:00As for your family and the Harmons
42:02Before he could finish
42:04The hotel manager stepped in and addressed Nathan quietly
42:06Sir
42:07Mr. Harmon is still outside
42:08He's insisting on a few minutes with Mrs. Yates
42:12Do you want to see him?
42:13I looked at my reflection in the floor to ceiling window
42:16Still in the dress
42:17I shook my head
42:20Everything that needed to be said
42:22I said it
42:25Tell Mr. Harmon my wife needs to rest
42:28She's not receiving visitors
42:30If he continues to linger
42:32You know what to do
42:33Yes sir
42:38I knew the Yates had the reach to make Ethan walk away tonight
42:41And keep him from getting close again
42:42That was part of why I chose Nathan
42:44Part of why I chose this
42:45I needed somewhere safe
42:46I needed something sharp enough to cut through every knot I'd tied myself into
42:51I changed out of the gown
42:52Put on something comfortable
42:53Settled into the car
42:54It pulled away from the hotel slowly
42:56The city lights moved past the window
42:57I leaned my head back and closed my eyes
42:59Not the flood of relief I'd imagined
43:01Not grief either
43:02A flat, open calm
43:03And somewhere under it
43:04Something faint and new
43:05Like the first edge of wanting something again
43:08I knew Ethan wouldn't let go easily
43:09But this time I was not standing still
43:11I had married
43:12Someone else
