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.
00:35Ethan, 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.
00:52He looked almost worried and even took half a step forward.
00:55Come 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. You'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.
01:49I was born with a heart condition.
01:52I think I'm having an attack.
01:56Please, call an ambulance.
01:58Ethan finally noticed.
02:00Something 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.
02:17I knew Amelia never liked me.
02:19I 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.
02:57They had their own tight circle.
03:00Charlotte was unhappy about it.
03:03She often showed up uninvited whenever Ethan and I went out.
03:08Ethan.
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.
03:23Charlotte'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.
03:55And 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?
04:02You said you'd kill anyone who made me unhappy.
04:06It 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.
04:39Can'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,
05:03and 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.
05:43Ethan, 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.
06:05My 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,
06:22and 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, terrifying 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, is she?
06:56Ethan took a glass of strong whiskey
06:58from a waiter.
07:02Ethan looked at me with worry.
07:03He 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,
07:40not 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
08:23your 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.
08:49You 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.
09:19Help.
09:20Help me.
09:21My heart.
09:23Stop pretending,
09:24Amelia.
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
09:31about your 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,
09:51and the boss
09:52of the entire
09:53Rolling Stars.
09:56Three years ago,
09:57I ran away
09:58to follow my dream
09:59of acting.
10:00One day,
10:01I was cornered
10:02by street dogs
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
10:12that Ethan,
10:12who seemed cold
10:13and de-packed,
10:14had lost both his parents
10:15to sudden illness,
10:17I decided to hide
10:18my own condition
10:18so that he would not
10:20have 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.
10:36I was forced
10:37to open
10:38my bloodshot eyes
10:39to look at
10:39the cruel woman
10:40in front of me.
10:48Why?
10:50Why are you
10:51doing this to me?
10:53You don't deserve him.
10:54Ethan is handsome,
10:56rich,
10:56and the boss
10:57of the entire
10:57Rolling Stars.
10:59I spent 11 years
11:00trying to win
11:01his heart
11:01and failed.
11:02How can someone
11:03like you
11:03a filthy rat
11:04who crawled
11:05out of the gutter
11:06ever deserve him?
11:09A filthy rat,
11:11a cold, bitter smile
11:12appeared on my lips.
11:13A filthy rat,
11:16a cold, bitter smile
11:18appeared on my lips.
11:20If my father knew
11:21I had been humiliated
11:23and mistreated
11:23like this
11:24after leaving home,
11:25how heartbroken
11:26would he be?
11:27Sadly,
11:28I would never
11:29see him again.
11:30My consciousness
11:30began to fade.
11:32Through the blur,
11:33I saw the pouch
11:34of medicine
11:34I had dropped
11:35near the waiter's feet.
11:36Some emergency medicine
11:37was still inside.
11:40Just a few more steps.
11:43Just a few more.
11:48I thought I could
11:49reach the pouch
11:51even if I could not.
11:53I hope this would
11:54catch this waiter's
11:55attention.
11:59Weren't you just
12:00pretending you were
12:01about to die?
12:02Look how fat
12:02you can crawl
12:03now.
12:04Amelia,
12:05you just couldn't
12:06help showing
12:07your clumsy trick!
12:08I take back
12:09my compliment
12:10about your acting!
12:13She raised her voice
12:14on purpose
12:15to draw everyone's
12:16attention.
12:17Ethan glanced at me,
12:18then turned away
12:19with even more
12:20impatience.
12:25I did not care
12:26about that.
12:26I bit down
12:27on the pain
12:28and tried to pull
12:28the packet away
12:29from under
12:29Charlotte's seal.
12:30Charlotte gave me
12:31a mocking smile
12:32and whispered,
12:33Your heart must
12:34hurt so much
12:35you nearly died,
12:35right?
12:37There's worse
12:37pain yet to come.
12:40Charlotte's eyes
12:41went cold.
12:42She lifted her foot
12:43and kicked my
12:44outstretched arm.
12:47I felt numb
12:48and could not
12:49even make a sound.
12:51The waiter who
12:52had been pushed
12:53aside pointed
12:53under the table
12:54and screamed,
12:55There's blood!
12:57There's so much
12:57blood!
13:00His cry got
13:01everyone's attention.
13:02Ethan frowned.
13:03He pushed
13:04through the guests
13:04and rushed to my
13:05side.
13:06When he saw me,
13:07he froze.
13:08The small cuts
13:09on my arm
13:10from the broken glass
13:11had been ripped
13:11open by Charlotte's
13:12heel.
13:13Blood flowed
13:13and soaked
13:14the grass beneath me.
13:15Amelia!
13:16I'll take you
13:16to the hospital now!
13:19He did not hesitate
13:20and reached
13:21to pick me up.
13:22Charlotte showed
13:23a flicker of panic.
13:26This is nothing,
13:27Ethan.
13:28It looks worse
13:28than it actually is.
13:29It's just a surface
13:30wound.
13:32No need
13:33for an emergency.
13:34I'm a doctor.
13:35I can treat her
13:36faster than going
13:36to the hospital.
13:38She grabbed
13:39a glass of liquor
13:40and poured it
13:41straight onto my wound.
13:44Charlotte acted
13:45concerned and
13:46lifted my arm.
13:48Blood ran
13:49from the wound
13:50and mixed
13:51with grass
13:51and dirt.
13:52Amelia,
13:53you have to stop
13:54with the pity party.
13:56You crawled
13:57over the glass
13:57on purpose
13:58to cut yourself,
13:59didn't you?
13:59You're taking
14:00advantage of
14:01Ethan's love
14:02for you
14:02to make him
14:02give in.
14:03I feel sorry
14:04for him.
14:09Is that it,
14:10Amelia?
14:11You knew
14:12I couldn't
14:13stand seeing
14:13someone close
14:14to me hurt
14:15so you used
14:15such petty
14:16tricks to
14:16threaten me?
14:17Can't you even
14:18put up with
14:18such a small
14:19thing as this
14:19for me?
14:21Listen,
14:21Amelia,
14:22we aren't
14:22leaving this
14:23place today.
14:24We'll stay
14:24until the party
14:25ends.
14:26Charlotte,
14:26treat her
14:27wound.
14:28Whoever
14:28helps Amelia
14:29will be considered
14:30to be against
14:30the whole
14:31Rolling Stones.
14:32Charlotte grew
14:33triumphant.
14:34She lifted
14:34my injured arm
14:35as if it were
14:36a rag doll.
14:37Don't worry,
14:38Ethan.
14:39I've treated
14:39wounds like
14:40these many
14:41times before.
14:42First,
14:43we need to
14:44disinfect them.
14:45She grabbed
14:45a glass of liquor
14:46and poured it
14:47straight onto
14:48my wound.
14:53If Ethan
14:54hadn't rescued
14:55her,
14:55who knows
14:56where she'd
14:56be now?
14:57The burning
14:58pain made
14:59my weak heart
15:00stop for a
15:00moment.
15:01My mind
15:02cleared a
15:02little.
15:03I spat up
15:04blood and
15:04managed to
15:05say with
15:05difficulty,
15:07My father,
15:09Reese,
15:10won't let
15:11you get
15:11away with
15:12this.
15:15Your father?
15:16A junkie
15:17from West
15:17Street or
15:18a drunk
15:18from East
15:19Street?
15:19My father
15:20runs the
15:20city hospitals
15:21and has
15:21close ties
15:22with the
15:22Rolling Stones.
15:23Don't try
15:24to act
15:24superior in
15:25front of
15:25me.
15:28Darkness
15:28flickered at
15:29the edge
15:29of my
15:29vision.
15:31I felt
15:31numb and
15:32could no
15:32longer feel
15:33the pain.
15:34Reese?
15:35You mean
15:36the Reese
15:36family that
15:37controls half
15:37the mafia
15:38world?
15:38Don't listen
15:39to her
15:39lies!
15:40Ethan told
15:40me she's
15:41a failed
15:41actress!
15:42If Ethan
15:43hadn't rescued
15:43her, who
15:44knows where
15:45she'd be
15:45now!
15:48The Reese
15:49family?
15:50Please!
15:51This woman
15:51will say
15:52anything to
15:52survive!
15:54after hearing
15:55Charlotte's
15:56words, they
15:57laughed
15:57cruelly.
15:59Ethan's
15:59face grew
16:00even
16:00darker.
16:01He turned
16:02his back
16:02on me and
16:03walked away.
16:04He did
16:05not care
16:05about me,
16:06even though
16:06I was
16:07dying.
16:21my body
16:22grew stiff.
16:24Before I
16:25blacked out,
16:27tears blurred
16:28my view.
16:29Papa,
16:30save me.
16:32I called
16:33out even
16:33though I
16:33knew it
16:34might just
16:34be a
16:34hallucination.
16:43papa, do
16:44you really
16:44think you
16:45are a
16:45mafia
16:45principissa?
16:47Who is
16:47your papa?
16:48A
16:48mindless
16:49fan or
16:49another
16:49sponsor?
16:51She saw
16:51Ethan walk
16:52away and
16:52grabbed my
16:53mud-cocked
16:54hair.
16:55She slapped
16:56me hard.
17:00My world
17:01collapsed
17:01into dizzying
17:02blackness.
17:12face the
17:13truth.
17:15Even if
17:16you die
17:16by our
17:17hands,
17:17no one's
17:18coming to
17:19save you.
17:25Just as I
17:26closed my
17:26eyes in
17:27despair,
17:28a furious
17:28voice rang
17:29in my
17:29ear.
17:30I knew
17:31it better
17:31than any
17:32other voice
17:32in the
17:33world.
17:37How dare
17:38you torment
17:39my daughter?
17:40I'll make
17:40you pay
17:41with your
17:41lives!
17:44My father
17:45stormed into
17:46the party
17:46with a group
17:47of mafia
17:47men behind
17:48him.
17:52Charlotte
17:53and her
17:53friends froze
17:54when they
17:54saw the
17:55guns pointed
17:55at them.
17:56They let
17:57go of me
17:58right away
17:58and were
17:58terrified.
18:04My father
18:04pushed
18:05through the
18:05crowd.
18:07His eyes
18:08turned red
18:08with anger
18:09when he
18:10saw me
18:10weak and
18:11bleeding
18:11profusely.
18:22Amelia,
18:22my baby!
18:23My body
18:23could not
18:23hold on
18:24anymore.
18:25Soaked
18:26in sweat,
18:26I collapsed
18:27into my
18:28father's
18:28arms.
18:36Who dares
18:37make trouble
18:37on the
18:38Rolling Stones
18:38turf?
18:40Ethan!
18:44Save me!
18:46When
18:46Charlotte
18:47saw
18:47Ethan,
18:48she acted
18:49like she
18:49had just
18:49seen her
18:50savior.
18:53He froze
18:54as soon
18:54as he
18:55saw the
18:55pill
18:55in my
18:56father's
18:56hand.
18:57A
18:58heart
18:58medicine?
19:00Amelia
19:01really
19:01has a
19:02heart
19:02condition?
19:03He
19:03finally
19:04realized
19:04that I
19:05had told
19:06him
19:06the truth.
19:07His face
19:08went pale
19:08and his
19:09mind
19:09went
19:10blank.
19:13You hurt
19:13my baby.
19:14I'll take
19:15your hands
19:15for that.
19:25baby.
19:27I'll take your hands
19:29for that.
19:33baby.
19:38Who are you?
19:40How dare you
19:40call my
19:41fiancee
19:41your baby?
19:42Ethan
19:42clearly
19:43misunderstood
19:43my relationship
19:44with my
19:45father.
19:46He clenched
19:46his jaw
19:47and tried
19:47his best
19:48to hold
19:48back
19:49his anger.
19:51Amelia,
19:52my love,
19:53I was wrong
19:54about you.
19:55You're badly
19:55hurt.
19:56Come back
19:57to me.
19:57I'll take
19:58you to the
19:58hospital right
19:59now.
19:59During the
20:00three years
20:00we were
20:00together,
20:01Ethan often
20:02said I was
20:02narrow-minded
20:03because I
20:03could not
20:04accept Charlotte
20:05being with
20:05us.
20:06He thought
20:06all our
20:07fights about
20:07her were
20:07because I
20:08was jealous
20:09and petty.
20:10But when
20:11he faced
20:11the same
20:12situation,
20:12he was far
20:13from achieving
20:14the magnanimity
20:15and generosity
20:15that he
20:16expected me
20:17to display.
20:24you fool.
20:36You know
20:37Mr. Recy
20:37and he values
20:38you so much
20:39you have to
20:39save me!
20:40This fool
20:40is the reason
20:41you hid your
20:41identity
20:42and refused
20:43to come
20:43home?
20:48Not
20:48anymore.
20:50I want
20:51to go
20:51home.
20:52Back to
20:52the Rees
20:53family.
20:57Rees?
20:58The top
20:58mafia
20:59family in
20:59the country?
21:00Amelia's
21:01connected to
21:01them?
21:02No.
21:04No.
21:06No.
21:08No.
21:09No.
21:11No.
21:12No.
21:15Who are
21:15you?
21:16What's
21:16your
21:17relationship
21:17with
21:17my
21:17fiance?
21:22That
21:23old man
21:23must be
21:24Amelia's
21:24sugar daddy.
21:26Ethan,
21:27didn't the
21:27boss of
21:28the Recy
21:28family help
21:29you take
21:29over the
21:29East District?
21:30You know
21:31Mr. Recy
21:32and he
21:32values you
21:33so much
21:33you have
21:34to save
21:34me!
21:35Ethan
21:35froze.
21:36The Rees
21:36family had
21:37many branches
21:38and held
21:38power across
21:39the country.
21:40Ethan
21:40used to be
21:41the mere
21:41leader of
21:42a gang
21:42of small
21:43time
21:43thugs.
21:44But three
21:44years ago
21:45he suddenly
21:45received help
21:46from the
21:47dawn of
21:47the Rees
21:48family and
21:48took control
21:49of both
21:49the East
21:50and West
21:51districts.
21:51The Rolling
21:52Stones
21:52quickly developed
21:53into a
21:54small mafia
21:54family in
21:55the nation.
22:00Everyone
22:01believed my
22:01father had
22:02helped because
22:02he saw
22:03potential in
22:03Ethan and
22:04the Rolling
22:04Stones.
22:05It was no
22:06wonder Charlotte
22:06thought my
22:07father, who
22:08rarely showed
22:09his face,
22:09was close to
22:10Ethan.
22:11My father
22:11carefully handed
22:12me over to
22:13his men.
22:14He stood up
22:15and looked
22:15coldly at
22:16Ethan.
22:18Three years
22:19ago, you
22:19saved my
22:20daughter, so
22:21I gave you
22:21a gift.
22:22I, David
22:23Reese, consider
22:24my debt with
22:25you, Ethan
22:25Cross, fulfilled
22:27henceforth.
22:34someone has to
22:35pay for what my
22:37daughter suffered
22:38today.
22:40David Reese?
22:42You're Mr.
22:43Reese?
22:44Amelia is your
22:45daughter?
22:46I'm sorry, Mr.
22:48Reese.
22:48I didn't know who
22:49Amelia really was.
22:51I was just joking
22:52around with her.
22:53Please have mercy.
22:54Joking?
22:56Then let me play
22:57a John U2.
23:00Charlotte clutched
23:01her arm and
23:02screamed in pain.
23:15My arm!
23:17No!
23:18No!
23:18I just got promoted!
23:21How am I supposed to
23:22operate now?
23:25I can't stand
23:26loud people.
23:28If you're unhappy
23:29that I only took
23:30your right hand,
23:32then I can make it
23:33so that I take
23:34your other one as
23:35well.
23:40No, it's not like
23:41that!
23:42Ethan, please!
23:43You know that I had
23:43no idea about
23:44Amelia's condition.
23:45I even tried to
23:46treat her wound!
23:47Please tell him!
23:48When my father did
23:49not respond, she
23:50turned to Ethan.
23:52Ethan frowned.
23:53He looked
23:53conflicted.
23:54Then, one of my
23:56father's men
23:56stepped forward and
23:58played the security
23:58footage from the
23:59party.
24:00The video clearly
24:01showed Charlotte
24:02pouring a high-strength
24:04sports drink into my
24:05champagne.
24:06It also showed her
24:08stepping on the
24:08medicine packet while
24:10I was crawling.
24:25How dare you
24:26humiliate my daughter
24:27like this?
24:29I'll make you
24:30disappear.
24:34please tell her to
24:36spare me!
24:38Charlotte was
24:40terrified.
24:43No, please!
24:45Ethan, you're
24:46Amelia's fiancé!
24:47You saved her once!
24:49Please, tell her to
24:50spare me!
24:51me!
24:57Get off me!
24:59You lied to me and
25:00almost killed Amelia!
25:01How dare you ask me
25:02for help!
25:08You can't let me die!
25:10My father saved your
25:10life once!
25:11You promised him
25:12you'd protect me!
25:13You saved Amelia,
25:14so you have to save me
25:16too!
25:17Oh!
25:18Ethan froze for a
25:20moment.
25:22He looked at me.
25:25His eyes were filled
25:26with conflict and
25:27hesitation.
25:31Charlotte had come
25:32between us.
25:34But I had never once
25:35questioned him, no
25:37matter how much
25:37Ethan doubted or
25:38grew impatient with me.
25:40That was until today.
25:45I thought he chose
25:46Charlotte over me
25:47because she
25:47manipulated him.
25:48I did not expect
25:50that, even after
25:51finding out the
25:52whole truth, he
25:53would hesitate to
25:53choose between us.
25:56My father sneered.
26:00Get off me!
26:01You lied to me and
26:03almost killed Amelia!
26:04How dare you ask
26:05me for help!
26:07Stop!
26:08A life for a life.
26:09We're even.
26:10I took a deep
26:11breath and
26:12stopped him.
26:20Papa, that's
26:21enough.
26:29Amelia, I knew it!
26:31I knew you'd
26:32forgive me!
26:34stop!
26:35A life for a life.
26:37We're even.
26:38I spared Charlotte
26:39for you.
26:41From now on, we have
26:43nothing to do with
26:44each other.
26:45Ethan froze in place.
26:47What did you just
26:48say?
26:49At that moment, the
26:50Reese family's medical
26:51car screeched to a
26:52stop at the entrance
26:53of the party.
26:54My father lifted me
26:55into his arms and
26:56said to the remaining
26:57mafia members,
26:59deal with everyone
27:00here, but remember
27:01my daughters are his
27:03orders.
27:04Spare their lives.
27:06Then, he carried me
27:07out of the party
27:08without another word.
27:10Ethan tried to chase
27:12after us.
27:13No!
27:14Amelia, you know I
27:15love you the most!
27:16Don't leave me!
27:24I already gave you
27:25one chance.
27:26My daughter needs
27:27to be treated.
27:28If you keep bothering
27:29us, I'll destroy the
27:30Rolling Stones
27:30completely.
27:40Behind him, my
27:41father's men were
27:42taking care of
27:43Charlotte and her
27:43friends.
27:44They were pushed
27:45into a tub full of
27:46champagne.
27:47They felt the
27:47suffocating panic I
27:49had just experienced.
27:50Ethan!
28:00They were nearly
28:01drowned before
28:02someone finally
28:03pulled them out.
28:05Charlotte was
28:06drenched.
28:07She wrapped her
28:08arms around herself
28:09and ran to
28:10Ethan, sobbing.
28:14Ethan, they want
28:16to pull all my
28:16teeth.
28:18My father knows I
28:19offended the
28:20Reese family, but
28:21he doesn't even
28:21care to plead for
28:23me.
28:25You have to
28:26save me.
28:27In Ethan's mind,
28:28Charlotte came from
28:29a better family than
28:30I did.
28:30She was also more
28:31generous and
28:32considerate.
28:33He once thought
28:33that if Charlotte
28:34were his fiance, he
28:35might not have
28:35struggled so much in
28:36a relationship, but
28:37he quickly dismissed
28:38the thought with a
28:38wise smile.
28:43He knew the only person
28:45he had ever really
28:46loved was me.
28:47He thought I did
28:48not come from a
28:49good family.
28:50My career had not
28:51been that impressive.
28:53I did not match his
28:54social standing.
28:58Still, he humbled
29:00himself and set aside
29:01hood his pride to
29:02love me.
29:03Charlotte had mocked
29:04me in front of his
29:05friends many times.
29:06She said I was not
29:08worth his love, and
29:09he was foolish to
29:10chase after me.
29:12He had been a fool
29:13not to realize that
29:14someone as perfect as
29:16Charlotte would want
29:16to hurt me.
29:18He had been witless
29:20enough to trust her
29:21completely and lose
29:23me forever.
29:24He stared at the car
29:25as it vanished and
29:26ignored Charlotte and
29:28her sobs.
29:29He opened his mouth
29:30to speak, but he
29:31could not utter a
29:32word.
29:32Finally, a tear rolled
29:34down from his
29:35bloodshot eyes.
29:38Back at the Reese
29:40family villa, under
29:41my father's care and
29:42the medical team's
29:43attention, I quickly
29:45recovered.
29:46The scars on my
29:47hands faded into
29:48faint lines.
29:50Returning home after
29:51three years, I felt
29:53a wave of emotion.
30:02Since I was little, my
30:04father had always
30:05worried about my
30:06heart condition.
30:07When he learned I
30:08wanted to be an
30:09actress, he feared
30:11my body would not be
30:12able to handle it
30:13and strongly opposed.
30:15I had been obedient
30:16all my life, but I
30:19once found the courage
30:20to run away in the
30:21middle of the night.
30:24After meeting Ethan, I
30:26hid my identity because
30:27I was afraid my father
30:28would find out.
30:32It was not until the
30:33day before Charlotte's
30:34promotion party that I
30:36overheard her talking to
30:37Ethan.
30:37I learned that the
30:39Rolling Stones' success
30:41was because of my
30:41father's support.
30:43Amelia, I'll support
30:45you.
30:45He found the world's
30:46top heart surgeon.
30:48After the socialry, you
30:49can tinge you pursuing
30:50your dream of acting.
30:51They said I had a 90%
30:53chance of a full
30:54recovery.
30:57The night before my
30:58surgery abroad, someone
31:00broke into the Reese
31:02family villa.
31:15Prince De Pesa, the
31:16man who broke in is
31:17the boss of the
31:18Rolling Stones, Ethan
31:19Cross.
31:37Ethan came alone.
31:38He carried a small
31:39gun.
31:40He had no men with
31:41him and did not hurt
31:42anyone.
31:42He deliberately
31:43smashed things around the
31:45Reese family territory and
31:46waited for my father's men to
31:48catch him and take him back
31:49to 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, I'll
32:02support you.
32:03You can let him in or send
32:05him away.
32:06Let him in.
32:08Take him to the
32:09accounts office.
32:10Add up the damage done and
32:11make him pay ten times what
32:13he owes.
32:14The Rolling Stones have
32:15had a good run thanks to
32:16my father.
32:17Make sure the accounts are
32:19settled.
32:20My father and the men looked
32:21surprised by my tone.
32:23One of them paused and
32:24asked,
32:25Prince De Pesa, don't you
32:27want to see him?
32:29I raised an eyebrow and
32:30continued folding my
32:31clothes.
32:32What for?
32:33I'm leaving for my surgery
32:35tomorrow.
32:35I need to pack.
32:36Make sure he pays ten times
32:38in cash.
32:39Don't excuse even a single
32:40cent.
32:42My father and the men
32:43exchanged glances and
32:44smiled.
32:51I boarded the plane as
32:53planned.
32:54Everything for the surgery
32:56went smoothly.
32:57On the day of the surgery,
32:59the sky was clear and
33:00bright.
33:01The sunlight felt a promise
33:03of a better future.
33:11I took a deep breath as I was
33:13wheeled into the operating
33:14room.
33:15The ensnesialist gave me the
33:17medicine and left the room.
33:20The surgery would begin once the
33:22surgeon was ready.
33:24I took slow, deep breaths,
33:27closed my eyes, and hoped I would
33:29wake up to a new life.
33:33Before I lost consciousness, a
33:35nurse suddenly ran into the
33:37room.
33:38She pulled down her mask to
33:40reveal the scarred, twisted face.
33:43It was Charlotte!
33:45After I returned to the Reese
33:47family villa, I had heard what
33:48had happened to her.
33:49She infended the Reese family.
33:51Her sewn family abandoned her
33:52completely.
33:53She has on the vial's hair always
33:54looked bright and charming, but
33:56inside she was cruel and twisted.
33:58Her former victims found out that
34:00she had become an outcast and had
34:02also lost one of her hands.
34:04They came after her for revenge.
34:06Even Ethan, for some reason,
34:08ignored her completely.
34:14Well, well.
34:16You finally fell into my hands.
34:19Desperate and ruined, Charlotte
34:21moved from place to place in the
34:22red light district.
34:23She sold her body constantly for
34:26food.
34:26One day, she argued with another
34:29woman over a client and angered the
34:30local thugs.
34:39After that, she vanished without a
34:42trace.
34:46I never thought she would show up in
34:48my operating room.
34:54Well, well.
34:56You finally fell into my hands.
34:59All those days sneaking into this
35:00hospital were worth it.
35:11All of this is your fault.
35:14I'll make you suffer.
35:15I wanted to scream, but the
35:17anesthesia kept me from moving.
35:19Sleep overtook me faster, and tears
35:21streamed down my face.
35:23I did not want to die like this.
35:27Amelia, hurry!
35:28Somebody help!
35:34Dammit!
35:34How are you always this lucky?
35:36Go to hell!
35:37Charlotte panicked.
35:38She grabbed a scalpel and aimed for
35:39my heart.
35:45Yeah.
35:46It's okay now.
35:48A blurry figure leapt forward and
35:50kicked Charlotte away.
35:51Charlotte, acting like a madman,
35:53jumped up again and swung the
35:55scalpel at me.
35:59Amelia!
36:02The figure threw himself around
36:04me and shielded me.
36:05The knife pierced his body, and he
36:08let out a low groan.
36:10When the scalpel struck his heart, I
36:13finally saw Ethan's face.
36:14The next moment, the anesthesia took
36:17over, and I slowly closed my eyes.
36:24When the doctors and security rushed
36:26into the operating room, Ethan
36:28finally allowed himself a relieved
36:29smile.
36:30Blood spurted from his mouth.
36:35Yeah.
36:37It's okay now.
36:38When I woke up, my heart surgery had
36:41been completed successfully.
36:42I opened my eyes to see my father
36:44crying with joy.
36:46I knew my new life had really
36:48began.
36:51Because of the attack before, three
36:53rows of Reese family guards surrounded
36:55my hospital room.
36:58But that was unnecessary.
36:59The Reese family issued a bounty
37:01against her and her family.
37:03Spending the rest of her life in
37:05prison was almost a relief for her.
37:12I thought of Ethan, who had taken
37:14the blow for me.
37:15One quiet night, my father walked to
37:18the window and gently opened it.
37:20Amelia, come here.
37:21Look at the moon.
37:27I stood up and walked over.
37:29The night breeze was cool.
37:33In the garden below, among the
37:34shadows of the trees, I saw a familiar
37:36figure leaning on a cane, wearing the
37:39same hospital gown as me.
37:41He was staring up at my window.
37:43The moment our eyes met, he froze.
37:45Then quickly retreated into the darkness.
37:47My father sighed softly.
37:49That boy is lucky.
37:50The scalpel missed his heart by less
37:52than a centimeter.
37:53The doctors say he may develop heart
37:55problems 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
38:06seconds, then reached out and slowly
38:08closed the window.
38:10Why would I be angry?
38:13He saved my life once, and now we're
38:15even.
38:17From now on,
38:21we have nothing to do with each other.
38:24The next morning, a nurse came in to
38:26change my IV.
38:29Mr. Ethan discharged himself late last
38:31night.
38:32He said he couldn't bear to stay here any
38:34longer.
38:37My father brought breakfast in person.
38:40Security reported he stood in the
38:42garden until dawn.
38:45I lowered my eyes, stirred the oatmeal
38:48gently, and said nothing.
38:57Three months later, my new drama became a
39:00massive hit.
39:01I went from a forgotten actress to a
39:03household name overnight.
39:05One evening, I attended a private dinner
39:07with 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.
39:31Please, give me one chance to make it up
39:33to you.
39:35You're blocking my way.
39:38Just five minutes.
39:39That's all I ask.
39:54The lady said no.
39:55Learn to read the room.
39:58This 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
40:20ago.
40:33The night of the movie premiere arrived.
40:35The red carpet was lined with cameras and
40:37screaming fans.
40:38I wore a stunning gold gown that shimmered
40:41under the lights, walking confidently down
40:43the carpet.
40:44To me.
40:45Tonight belonged to me.
40:56Amelia, I was wrong.
40:59I was wrong.
40:59I should have believed you.
41:00I 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.
41:23Amelia, 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?
41:36On my right, Victor Murata, the powerful producer, handed me a bouquet of roses.
41:41Jack Warren appeared on my left, offering his arm with the charming smiles.
41:46For the brightest star tonight.
41:52Amelia, go, go.
41:54I can't live without you.
41:56I never looked back.
41:58From this moment on, I was no longer anyone's fiance.
42:02I was Amelia Reese, the heroine of my own story.
