00:00The night before our wedding, I caught my fianc in our bed with his savior's sister, Sylvia Glenn.
00:06She was literally wrapped in our wedding sheets, her eyes still flushed with passion.
00:11I flung the pregnancy test, strip away violently, hitting him in the face, and asked,
00:16Do you even want this baby?
00:18He smoked all night, but in the end, he said,
00:22She's just a responsibility. You're the one I love.
00:24After hearing this, for the sake of my child, I put on my wedding dress and decided to give him
00:30one last chance.
00:32But what about the wedding? He didn't even show up.
00:37His assistant rushed over and told me,
00:40I'm sorry, Miss Frost. The wedding is cancelled. Mr. Cross is on his way to the hospital. Miss Sevilla has
00:45suffered a heart attack.
00:46The bouquet fell to the ground and my dignity shattered into pieces.
00:49I chased after them, out of the manor, clutching my wedding dress, and hysterically screamed into the phone.
00:56Damien! If you go to her today, I'm going to the clinic tomorrow! Your family will never have this child!
01:03He didn't say a word. He just hung up.
01:06I walked back to the manor gate, still wearing my wedding dress.
01:09Damien's mother rushed over and grabbed me.
01:12Alara, get inside! Don't make a scene in front of everyone!
01:18The wedding is over.
01:21Nonsense! Damien is just confused. Sylvia's in critical condition. He had to go.
01:25So he can show up for her, but not for me?
01:27You're going to be a cross. Learn to be tolerant.
01:31I'm done being Mrs. Cross.
01:33Leave today, and you are no longer a cross!
01:36I walked away, without looking back.
01:39In the dressing room, I stripped off the white lace.
01:42The stylist carefully removed my headpiece.
01:45Miss Frost, your makeup?
01:48Leave it.
01:49I grabbed my bag and walked out.
01:51Under the gray Long Island sky, I hailed a cab.
01:58Press Mysterion Hospital, please.
02:00Damien's assistant, Owen chased after me.
02:03I ignored him. I already knew the script.
02:05Mr. Cross is busy.
02:06Mr. Cross didn't mean it.
02:08For ten years, I've heard it all.
02:10Sylvia was his responsibility,
02:11because her brother died saving Damien's life five years ago.
02:15I used to think his care for her was honorable.
02:18Now I realize some responsibilities have no boundaries.
02:22The cab pulled up at the hospital entrance.
02:24I paid the driver and walked straight into the ER.
02:27I found Damien on a bench outside the operating room.
02:30He saw me and stood up.
02:31Laura? You're here?
02:33Look, about today, I'm so...
02:35How is she?
02:38Acute heart failure.
02:40They're still trying to save her.
02:41It's not looking good.
02:44I see.
02:45Alara, don't be like this!
02:47Simus Glenn died for me!
02:49I can't just abandon Sylvia!
02:50She has no one else in this world!
02:52I'm not being anything, Damien.
02:55I just realized that our wedding isn't as important as a little sister you've known for five years.
02:59No!
03:00You're the most important thing to me!
03:03But she's dying!
03:05What did you never take gone?
03:07The doctor never said she was dying.
03:10Just then, the ER doors swung open.
03:12Family for Sevilla?
03:13I am.
03:15The patient had an episode of rapid heart rate due to emotional stress.
03:19She's stable now.
03:20We're moving her to a regular room for observation.
03:23Damien let out a long breath.
03:25See?
03:26Look how fragile she is!
03:27Why can't you just be more understanding?
03:29At that moment, the nurses rolled her out on a gurney.
03:31Sylvia was lying there.
03:33She opened her eyes just a crack.
03:35Damien rushed to her side, clutching her hand.
03:37Sylvia, don't be scared.
03:39I'm here.
03:40I walked out of the hospital without looking back.
03:43The freezing wind hit my face.
03:45Only then did I realize...
03:47My heart was racing.
03:49The next day, Damien didn't come home.
03:52The house we bought for our marriage was dead silent.
03:55I called a real estate agent and put the house on the market.
03:58Yes, a quick sale.
04:00That afternoon, Damien finally showed up.
04:02He looked exhausted.
04:05Alara, I'm apologizing for Sylvia.
04:07She didn't mean to ruin yesterday.
04:10Can't she apologize for herself?
04:13She's still very weak.
04:16Damien, let's stop talking about her.
04:18Let's talk about us.
04:20What about the wedding?
04:21What are we supposed to tell our friends and family?
04:23He fell silent for a moment.
04:24Let's just wait a bit.
04:26Once the drama dies down, we'll have a redo.
04:28A reboot?
04:29You think a wedding is something you can just reboot?
04:32Then what else can we do?
04:34It already happened, Alara.
04:35I know you're upset, but Sylvia just cheated death.
04:38Can't we just show a little more understanding?
04:41Understanding?
04:41Always with the understanding, I walked into the bedroom and pulled out my suitcase.
04:47I started packing my things.
04:49What are you doing?
04:53I'm selling the house.
04:56Damien's face darkened instantly.
04:58Alara, haven't you had enough of this little tantrum?
05:03I'm not throwing a tantrum.
05:05I just don't live here anymore.
05:07You're not going anywhere.
05:08This is our home.
05:10I looked at him expressionlessly and said,
05:13The second you abandon it for another woman, it stopped being a home.
05:17You are being completely irrational!
05:20Just then, his phone buzzed.
05:22He picked up, and his voice shifted instantly.
05:26What's wrong?
05:28Another nightmare?
05:30Don't be scared, I'm coming right now.
05:31He ended the call, a flicker of impatience on his face.
05:34Stop acting out, Alara.
05:36Sylvia is still unstable.
05:37I have to check on her.
05:39We'll talk when I'm back.
05:40He thought I'd cave in, like I always did.
05:43If you walk out that door today, don't bother coming back.
05:47Alara, my patience has its limits.
05:50Then, he left anyway.
05:51I listened to the sound of the door slamming shut.
05:54I placed the last piece of clothing into my suitcase and pulled the zipper.
06:00I moved back to my city studio, a red brick brownstone with my office downstairs and my life upstairs.
06:06Damien didn't call.
06:07I didn't reach out either.
06:09A week later, his mother, Vera, asked to meet.
06:13Ten million dollars.
06:14Leave Damien.
06:16Vera, between Damien and me, it was never about the money.
06:20I know you've been together for ten years.
06:22But, Elida, understand this.
06:24The Cross family needs a wife who is sensible.
06:27Someone who supports Damien.
06:29Not a troublemaker who creates scenes.
06:31And Sylvia?
06:32She's sensible?
06:33Sylvia is pure and kind.
06:35Her brother saved Damien's life.
06:37He should protect her.
06:39As his fiancée, you should support him, not fight him.
06:43I don't want the money.
06:44And I don't want Damien anymore either.
06:46I hope he and Sylvia have a long, happy life together.
06:49They deserve each other.
06:50I stepped out, changed my number, and dumped every Cross family business card into the trash.
06:56The world grew quiet.
06:58I started focusing all my energy on preparing for the Milan Jewelry Design Competition, three months away.
07:05It was my ultimate dream as a designer.
07:07My days were full and peaceful.
07:13Until the day an uninvited guest showed up at my studio.
07:17Alara, I'm here to apologize about the wedding.
07:20It was my fault.
07:21I shouldn't get to the point.
07:22Damien has been in a really bad place lately, drinking constantly.
07:25And I know it's all because of me.
07:26This is the card he gave me.
07:28I haven't spent a dime.
07:29Please, just don't be mad at him anymore, okay?
07:32Sylvia, do you think this is funny?
07:34I... I don't know what you mean.
07:36Every time you get sick, every emergency you have,
07:38it always happens exactly when Damien and I have a milestone.
07:41You've timed it all perfectly, haven't you?
07:43I didn't take your card and get the hell out of my studio.
07:47I know you hate me.
07:49But if Damien had been the one who died five years ago instead of my brother,
07:53how would you feel?
07:54Believe it or not, I never wanted to ruin you two.
07:57I'm just so lonely.
08:00She turned and left.
08:04I swiped that card straight into the trash.
08:08Allura!
08:09What the hell did you do to Sylvia?
08:16Allura!
08:17What the hell did you do to Sylvia?
08:19She slit her wrists the moment she got home.
08:22If the nurse hadn't found her in time, she'd be dead!
08:25Are you satisfied now?
08:29I didn't do anything.
08:30You're still lying.
08:31She's so kind, she brought you all her savings to make amends and you still had to provoke her?
08:38Damien, do you trust her or me?
08:41I'm taking you to the hospital.
08:43Apologize to her.
08:44I'm not going.
08:46You don't have a choice!
08:47Damien, you've lost your mind!
08:48You're the one who's lost it!
08:49You weren't like this before!
08:50When did you become so vicious?
08:51So unreasonable?
08:53He was right.
08:53I wasn't like this before.
08:55The old me would have believed every word he said.
08:57I would have felt his pain as my own and taken all his problems on my shoulders.
09:01When did I change?
09:02He flung the car door open and tried to shove me inside.
09:06I used all my strength and ripped myself free.
09:14Damien, we're over.
09:16What did you say?
09:17I said, we're over.
09:18From now on, you and Sylvia have nothing to do with me.
09:21Allura, don't you dare regret this!
09:23My only regret is pulling you out of the mud ten years ago just for you to push me back
09:27in.
09:28I leaned against the door, listening to him pounding on it.
09:31Allura!
09:32Open the door!
09:34Then, the roar of an engine.
09:36He was gone.
09:37Suddenly, a sharp searing pain shot through my lower abdomen.
09:40I looked down.
09:42Blood was trickling down my legs.
09:44Seven weeks pregnant.
09:45You're showing signs of a threatened miscarriage.
09:48Your stress levels are too high.
09:50My baby.
09:52Can it be saved?
09:54We need to observe you, but we need a family member to sign the papers.
09:57Where's your husband?
09:59He's away on business.
10:01Then call someone else.
10:07I had no one else.
10:09My parents died when I was young.
10:11My grandfather raised me, and he passed away five years ago.
10:16I thought I had Damien.
10:18Now, I have no one.
10:20Owen sent an envelope.
10:22Inside was a photo.
10:28And there was a note.
10:30Miss, Mr. Cross said he'll come find you once Miss Glenn is stable.
10:35Then, I stood up and walked back into the doctor's office.
10:39Doctor, have you decided?
10:41I don't want the baby anymore.
10:44I lay down on the operating table.
10:47As the anesthesia kicked in, my last thought was, Damien, we're even now.
10:52I didn't go back to the studio.
10:55I went straight to the airport and bought a one-way ticket to Milan.
11:00Before leaving, I left a note for Damien through my lawyer.
11:04The breakup agreement is on its way.
11:06I don't want the house, the car, or anything else.
11:09Just sign it.
11:10I sealed the envelope, leaving my past and those ten years behind.
11:14As the plane took off, watching the city shrink below.
11:18I told myself,
11:22Life in Milan was harder than I imagined.
11:25No friends, no money, and a massive language barrier.
11:29By day, I audited classes at the Jewelry Academy.
11:33By night, I washed dishes in a small bistro.
11:37It was grueling, but my mind was at peace.
11:41I poured every ounce of my love and pain from the last decade into my sketches.
11:46Three months later, I stood on the stage of the Milan International Jewelry Design Competition
11:51with my masterpiece, The Caged Bird.
11:54I won the gold medal.
11:56Standing under the sparklights, surrounded by camera flashes, I finally smiled.
12:00I was no longer the Alara who lived in Damien's shadow.
12:03I was Alara, the designer, boss, Cross Group CEO Damien Cross is here.
12:08Three years later, I returned home with my own brand, reflecting snow.
12:11He's in the front row. He hasn't taken his eyes off you.
12:13Oh, I took a sip of my drink and stayed silent.
12:17Anna, go get the finale piece ready. On it.
12:19He's lost a lot of weight. He looks exhausted.
12:24Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming the designer of tonight's show, Alara Frost!
12:33We held each other's gaze for three seconds.
12:36I gave him a faint smile.
12:38Then turned and walked off the stage.
12:42Backstage, Anna told me,
12:44Damien wants to see you.
12:46Tell him I'm busy.
12:48He will wait.
12:49As long as it takes.
12:51Then let him wait.
12:53I left the venue through the side exit and got into my car.
12:57After driving a good distance,
12:58I took one last look back.
13:00He was still there.
13:01Just as Anna said.
13:03He'd lost weight.
13:04He looked older.
13:05He wasn't that sharp, confident man I remembered anymore.
13:08A jazz song started playing on the car radio.
13:11I turned it off.
13:12My brand exploded in New York overnight.
13:14Orders started pouring in like a blizzard.
13:16I was buried in work.
13:18Damien tried everything to see me.
13:20He bought the cafe right under my studio just to sit by the window every day.
13:23He bought every single one of my designs.
13:26Wrap all of these up.
13:26I ignored him completely.
13:28One day, right after a meeting, Anna walked in.
13:30Boss, there's a Ms. Glenn downstairs here to see you.
13:33She said her name is Sylvia Glenn.
13:36My pen paused for a second.
13:39Tell her to come up.
13:40Years later, Sylvia changed.
13:42Elora, long time no see.
13:44She wore heavy makeup and designer suits.
13:47Her eyes now sharp and bitter.
13:48She wasn't that helpless little flower anymore.
13:51Did you come here for something?
13:52I'm here to ask you to leave New York.
13:55On what grounds?
13:56I asked calmly.
14:00Because Damien loves you now.
14:02Everything changed the moment you came back.
14:05He's trying to kick me out.
14:07He wants to break up.
14:09Isn't that perfect?
14:11You two were never meant to be anyway.
14:14No.
14:15I'm the one who stayed by his side these last three years.
14:18I was there when he hit rock bottom.
14:20What gives you the right to just walk back in and steal him away?
14:24I looked at her like she was a joke.
14:26Sylvia, have you forgotten?
14:28He was mine to begin with.
14:31But you threw him away.
14:34No.
14:35He gave up on me first.
14:37I had nothing left.
14:39She choked on her words, finally.
14:41She snatched a stack of photos from her bag and slammed them onto my desk.
14:44Don't get too smug, Alara.
14:46You think he actually loves you?
14:49It's just guilt.
14:51Take a good look at these.
14:53I picked up the photos.
14:55It was a headstone.
14:57The name on it, Silas Glenn.
15:00My mind went blank.
15:02The world seemed to explode.
15:03He actually, he built a monument for the baby who never had a chance to be born.
15:08He told me his biggest regret in life is that child.
15:11He's only trying to get you back to make amends.
15:13Alaya, you're just a tool for his guilt.
15:15My hands shook so hard I couldn't hold the photos.
15:18Get out.
15:19You're kicking me out?
15:21You can't win, Alara.
15:23As long as he owes my brother for saving his life, Damien can never truly leave me.
15:28I stood up, walked over to her, and slapped her hard across the face.
15:32She gasped, clutching her cheek in disbelief.
15:34You dared to hit me?
15:36She grabbed my hair.
15:37I pushed her away hard, and she stared at me in complete shock.
15:41That was for my unborn child.
15:43I picked up the office phone.
15:45Security, throw this woman out.
15:47Now.
15:48Alara, you'll pay for this.
15:50I'll make your life a living hell.
15:53Nameless grave, my tears finally broke.
15:56I fell ill, a fever that wouldn't break.
15:58Anna rushed me to the hospital.
16:00I lay in the hospital bed, drifting in and out of consciousness.
16:03It felt like I was back in that freezing operating room three years ago.
16:08The nightmares were relentless.
16:10Tiny baby kept crying in my dreams.
16:12Mommy, why didn't you want me?
16:15I was scared, awake.
16:18The first thing I saw was Damien.
16:20He was sitting by my bed, his face covered in dark stubble.
16:23His eyes bloodshot.
16:25Alara, you're awake.
16:27I pulled my hand away and turned my head.
16:30I'm sorry about the baby.
16:32I'm so sorry.
16:34Back then, I thought you aborted the child because you hated me.
16:39I was too afraid to ask, too afraid to find you.
16:42I thought it would only make you hate me more.
16:44I visit the grave every year.
16:46I even gave him a name, Snowcross.
16:50My entire body froze.
16:53I've been looking for you for three years, Alara.
16:56I know I messed up.
16:58Just give me one more chance, please.
17:01I kept silent, watching him.
17:03I'll handle Sylvia.
17:04I'll cut her out completely.
17:05I swear.
17:06From now on, my world will only be you and our child.
17:08Our child.
17:10The one who's already gone.
17:11How pathetic.
17:13Damien, just leave.
17:16I won't.
17:17He stood up and tried to pull me into his arms.
17:19I dodged him.
17:21Alara?
17:21You're right.
17:23I aborted the baby because I hated you.
17:26I hated you for walking out on our wedding.
17:29I hated you for throwing away our ten years together.
17:33I hated you for choosing her over and over again.
17:37So I gave up on your child.
17:40The color drained from his face instantly.
17:42No.
17:43No, you're not like that.
17:45You couldn't be.
17:46I am exactly like that.
17:48I watched his agony but felt nothing.
17:50There is no us anymore.
17:51The woman standing before you is Alara.
17:54The designer.
17:55Not the fool who would give up everything for you.
17:59That fool died on that operating table three years ago.
18:02She's gone.
18:04Anna walked in with my medication and froze when she saw Damien.
18:08Boss, are you okay?
18:10I need to rest.
18:12Please, get out.
18:14He stood there, his lips trembling.
18:16Finally, he gave me one last, lingering look and turned to leave.
18:20His back was hunched, as if he'd aged ten years in a single moan.
18:24After I was discharged, Damien stopped pestering me.
18:27I guess he finally gave up.
18:28I poured everything into my work.
18:31My brand went global, expanding into Europe.
18:34I spent most of my time abroad, only passing through New York, for quick trips.
18:39I only heard about Damien through the financial news.
18:42He'd liquidated almost all of Cross Group's assets.
18:45His major investments were failing.
18:48Word is, Damien kicked Sylvia out without a penny.
18:51She's been trashing him to the press, claiming he's ungrateful and has a secret child.
18:55But no one believes her.
18:57She's hit rock bottom.
18:58I listened, feeling nothing.
19:01None of it mattered to me anymore.
19:03A year later, my solo retrospective opened at the New York Museum of Art.
19:07Every milestone piece of my career was on display.
19:10The opening night was packed.
19:12I was in the lounge, prepping my speech.
19:15When Anna rushed in, looking pale.
19:18Boss, we have a problem.
19:20What is it?
19:22Sylvia's here.
19:23She's making a scene in the gallery, claiming your breakout piece was plagiarized.
19:27Has she lost her mind?
19:29She brought original sketches that look almost identical to yours, just with minor differences.
19:35The press is swarming her.
19:37I stood up and walked out of the lounge.
19:38The gallery was in chaos.
19:40Sylvia stood in front of the caged bird, sobbing for the cameras.
19:43The piece was designed by me and my brother, Silas Glenn.
19:47It was his final work.
19:49Allura was just an assistant in his studio back then.
19:52She stole his manuscript.
19:53Cameras flashed incessantly.
19:56My proof is the manuscript.
19:58It has my brother's signature on it.
20:01Sylvia.
20:03Allura, you thief.
20:06You actually showed up.
20:07You claim you and your brother designed this piece?
20:10Exactly.
20:11When?
20:12Then, six years ago, I smiled.
20:15Everyone, listen.
20:17The inspiration for this piece did come from someone.
20:21But it wasn't Simus Glenn.
20:24It was...
20:25Damien Cross.
20:28I created this piece in my darkest hours after our breakup.
20:32It symbolizes my trapped love and longing for freedom.
20:36As for Miss Glenn's evidence, I looked at her.
20:39I knew it was drawn by Damien.
20:41You're...
20:42You're lying!
20:43We can call a handwriting expert right now.
20:46Damien has been drawing for ten years.
20:49I could recognize his brushstrokes with my eyes closed.
20:52And I know that you...
20:57The gallery fell into a deathly silence.
21:00Everyone was too stunned to speak.
21:02Sylvia's eyes widened, staring at Damien in disbelief.
21:06I've been digging into that accident from five years ago.
21:09I tracked down the original officers and got the full investigation report.
21:14That truck had a brake failure.
21:16Only brake failure.
21:18No murder.
21:19Silas Glenn was driven to despair by $30 million in gambling debts.
21:23In his suicide nota, he told you clearly.
21:26Use my guilt to live a good life.
21:31He never told you to use that guilt to destroy the woman I love.
21:38Because of that guilt, I sacrificed my wedding.
21:41I sacrificed Alera.
21:44I lost my lover, and I lost my child.
21:48I've lived my life as a total joke.
21:51Damien's eyes welled up, voice trembling.
21:53He lost the wedding.
21:54Lost me.
21:55Lost our unborn child.
21:57If your brother is watching you from above,
21:59do you think he would truly be at peace?
22:05I...
22:07Sylvia clutched her head and broke down hysterically.
22:10Cameras flashed non-stop, recording her humiliating collapse.
22:14Security dragged her away.
22:16The farce ended at last.
22:18Damien turned slowly, his eyes sweeping across every piece of my work.
22:22Deep, raw regret filled his gaze.
22:25Alera, the truth is out now.
22:29Can I...
22:30Can I make it up to you?
22:32Can we...
22:34Start over?
22:35I looked at him.
22:36After a long, heavy silence,
22:38I shook my head.
22:39It's too late, Damien.
22:42With that, I turned and walked back into the lounge.
22:45I shut the door, leaving him, and everything else, behind me.
22:50After that day, Damien vanished.
22:52Cross Group went bankrupt and liquidated.
22:54He dismissed all staff, sold all assets, paid all debts, then left New York alone.
23:01No one knew his whereabouts.
23:03My life finally returned, to a state of peace.
23:06My brand went public in Paris, becoming a truly global name, only occasionally hearing whispers of Damien, from Anna.
23:14Some said they saw him working in the fields on a ranch out west.
23:17Others saw him volunteering at a rural church in the south.
23:20It was as if he were living like a monk, punishing himself through labor.
23:24I listened, but felt nothing.
23:27Or paths had diverged for good.
23:29Five years later, I moved back to New York and bought a house with a garden.
23:34I adopted a little girl named Iris.
23:36She's precious, with two tiny dimples when she smiles.
23:44One winter afternoon, I took Iris to the park.
23:48The snow was falling heavily.
23:50Iris was building a snowman, while I watched from a bench.
23:53Nearby, a man in a janitor's uniform was shoveling snow.
23:57He wore a hat and a mask, hiding his face.
23:59But his movements were slow, strained.
24:02He had a limp.
24:03Iris' snowball rolled to his feet.
24:05She ran over to pick it up.
24:07The man stopped his broom, leaned down, and handed it back to her.
24:13As he looked up, his mask slipped slightly.
24:16I saw his face.
24:18It was Damien!
24:19My heart didn't skip a beat.
24:20I just sat there quietly, watching him.
24:23Damien also froze when he saw me.
24:25His eyes widened, filled with shock, guilt, and a hint of embarrassment.
24:29He quickly pulled up his mask, turned around, and continued shoveling snow.
24:34His movements even more strained than before.
24:37Iris looked up at him, then at me, confused.
24:40Mommy, who is he?
24:42I smiled and stroked her head gently.
24:44Iris nodded happily and ran back to the snowman.
24:47I stood up, took one last glance at Damien's back.
24:50He was hunched over, shoveling snow, one slow, laborious stroke at a time.
24:56Iris, come here.
24:57It's time to go home.
24:59Mommy?
25:00That mister is crying.
25:05The past is gone.
25:06I have my life now, my iris, and a future full of hope.
25:10Damien's atonement, his regrets.
25:12They are no longer my burden.
25:14We finally parted ways, in the heavy snow, with no more entanglement.
25:18We finally parted ways, in the heavy snowman's back to the snowman's back to the snowman's back to the snowman's
