00:00I'd waited three years for my wedding day.
00:02Then I was thrown into a snake pit by my fiancé and three elder brothers.
00:07Happy wedding, just so you know.
00:09I slept with your husband last night.
00:12In your bed. It was amazing.
00:15Rage blinded me. I slapped her.
00:17A second later, my new husband, Julian Thorne, slapped me back.
00:21Harper is sweet and easy!
00:23She gave up everything for you, and you still hate her?
00:27I'd rather marry anyone but you!
00:30Under their order, I was thrown into a snake pit.
00:32Day one, I thought they'd come back.
00:35Day three, I started counting the cracks in the wall.
00:37Day seven, I stopped.
00:39I was so tired.
00:41After seven days of hell, my three brothers came for me.
00:44Arthur, my oldest brother, a ruthless CEO.
00:47He kicked my leg until it broke.
00:51Harper cried all night.
00:54I've already moved all your assets to her.
00:57Silas, my second brother, an A-list actor.
01:00He twisted my arm until it dislocated.
01:02From now on, only Harper stays in the family trust.
01:06You?
01:08Never call yourself a Vance again.
01:10Declan, my youngest brother, a top surgeon.
01:13The cruelest of all.
01:14He pressed a scalpel into my stomach.
01:16Harper has kidney problems.
01:17You're giving her one of yours.
01:19Consider it payment.
01:20Before I could speak, he cut my organ out.
01:22I was awake the whole time.
01:24Then, through the pain, something shifted.
01:27Twenty years of fighting for scraps of love from people who never wanted me.
01:31Back at the orphanage, Harper locked me in the closet and stole my life.
01:34Let me out!
01:35Twenty years later, I was still paying for it.
01:37Maybe dying was the only way to finally be free.
01:40I stopped screaming.
01:41Despair and pain melted away.
01:43Now I just felt relief.
01:45Arthur and Silas were gone, taking my kidney.
01:48In the damp, freezing snake pit, only Declan and I remained.
01:52Blood kept pouring from the wound.
01:54Declan frowned, annoyed, stitching me up in a hurry.
01:57If you'd just cooperated earlier, I wouldn't be doing this here.
02:00You're nothing but a hassle.
02:02One week ago, Harper got a tiny, barely visible paper cut.
02:06Declan called in his whole elite medical team, treated it like an emergency.
02:09He checked on her every three hours.
02:12Now?
02:12The hassle of closing the wound.
02:15He must have noticed I wasn't reacting.
02:17He leaned down, patted my pale cheek, and injected me with antibiotics.
02:21Stop faking.
02:23This is nothing.
02:24You really think this will make me choose you over Harper?
02:27You're so petty, Alara.
02:30Ever since you came back to this family, all you do is play these sad little games.
02:33In the past, words like that would have broken me.
02:36I would have fought back.
02:37Begged him to see I wasn't that person.
02:39Now I felt nothing.
02:41To me, death was the fastest way out.
02:43But Declan misunderstood completely.
02:46What the hell is that supposed to mean, Alara?
02:48You saying this messed up stuff just to make me feel bad?
02:52He jerked the suture hard.
02:54The raw skin tore tight.
02:56Dark blood gushed out.
02:57The pain was unbearable.
02:59When he saw me gasp, my forehead soaked with cold sweat.
03:03You're my blood sister.
03:04Do you know how long we spent looking for you?
03:06There's no way I'd let you die like this.
03:08If you weren't selfish, if you hadn't hit Harper, none of this would have happened.
03:14He finally numbed the wound.
03:16Promise you'll stop making trouble for Harper when we get back.
03:22Apologize to her, and I'll take you to the hospital.
03:26Best care.
03:27No more pain out here.
03:29Inside me, only cold, bitter mockery rose.
03:32Without a word, I lifted my hand and tore open my freshly stitched wound.
03:36Blood poured out.
03:37Alara, are you insane?
03:39That sounds perfect.
03:42Living even one more second makes me sick.
03:47My eyelids grew heavy.
03:49My head fell to the side.
03:51Everything went black.
03:53I didn't die.
03:54When I woke up fully, Arthur was there.
03:58You're finally awake.
04:00You're an adult, Alara.
04:01Why are you so reckless?
04:03Throwing a fit and threatening to give up over something so small.
04:06Where's your pride as a Vance?
04:09You're right.
04:11I'm a disgrace.
04:13I don't deserve to be here.
04:15His hand froze mid-air.
04:16The slap never landed.
04:18Alara Vance!
04:20Stop talking nonsense!
04:25I paid a huge price to get you out of there.
04:27Not so you can talk nonsense like this.
04:31The door opened.
04:32Declan walked in, carrying a bitter medicinal drink.
04:36Drink it.
04:38Don't make me hold you down and pour it in.
04:40No.
04:40It's a waste.
04:43You!
04:45He slammed the bowl onto the nightstand
04:47and checked my bandages.
04:49Just as I thought.
04:50The top-tier medicine really speeds up healing.
04:53Behave.
04:54If you tear this wound again,
04:55I'm not stitching you up a second time.
04:58Once I would have cried at this tiny scrap of kindness.
05:02Now I just found it deeply, profoundly ironic.
05:05I ripped my arm out of his grip,
05:07threw off the blanket,
05:08and clutched my wound.
05:09Are you out of your mind?
05:15Alara, what the hell are you doing?
05:16Leaving you.
05:18Letting me go is the best outcome for everyone.
05:21You're off the hook,
05:23and Harper can sit on her throne as the Vance Ernish.
05:27Do me a favor.
05:28Let me die quickly.
05:30My words hit a raw nerve in Arthur.
05:34I forbid it!
05:36You are the biological daughter of the Vance family.
05:41Who gave you permission to die?
05:43Declan panicked.
05:44He pressed my shoulders back against the mattress.
05:47Alara, stop.
05:49I know you're hurting,
05:50but if you just recover,
05:52I promise I'll do better.
05:53Okay?
05:54I stared at his begging eyes
05:55and found it utterly absurd.
05:57I closed my eyes.
05:58Declan tried to feed me the medicinal drink.
06:01Meanwhile, the door swung open again.
06:04Alara, thank God.
06:06You scared me half to death.
06:07When I'd first returned home,
06:09he took me out,
06:10bought me gifts,
06:10and tearfully told me
06:11how much the family had missed me all those years.
06:13His attitude flipped.
06:15Seeing him now just exhausted me.
06:17I turned my face away
06:18as he reached out to touch my cheek.
06:22Let me try.
06:23She might listen.
06:24For years, I'd worshipped him,
06:26loved him with every part of me.
06:28Door opened again.
06:30Alara,
06:30I came to see you.
06:33Harper,
06:33you just had a transplant.
06:34You're still weak.
06:35Why are you up?
06:36It's all my fault.
06:38If I'd stopped you that day,
06:41none of this would have happened.
06:43I couldn't stop feeling guilty.
06:45I had to apologize.
06:48She took the bowl and sat on my bed.
06:51Alara, please.
06:52Don't be so hard on yourself.
06:54Drink your medicine.
06:55Everyone's worried.
06:56I know you blame me,
06:57but I never wanted to fight you.
07:00Everything in the Vance family
07:01is yours by right.
07:02Before the spoon touched my lips.
07:07Alara,
07:08how could you?
07:10I was only trying to help.
07:12Tears ready to fall.
07:14Alara,
07:15Vance,
07:15have you lost your mind?
07:17My hand moved to the phone
07:19hidden under my pillow.
07:20One bar of signal.
07:22Just enough.
07:23Arthur exploded.
07:24Harper came here out of kindness,
07:25and this is how you repay her?
07:27Declan rushed to check
07:28Harper's reddened skin.
07:29Are you okay?
07:30Is it badly burned?
07:31Get a doctor here,
07:33now!
07:33You've gone too far,
07:35Alara.
07:36Harper already apologized.
07:38When will you grow up?
07:40Can you stop being so unreasonable?
07:42You don't have to hurt her.
07:44All four crowded around Harper,
07:46pressed against Arthur's chest.
07:49I'm fine.
07:50Please don't blame Alara.
07:51She's just upset.
07:53Once,
07:54this act would have made me boil with rage.
07:56Now?
07:57I just thought it was funny.
07:58If you want to coddle her,
08:00get out.
08:01Don't ruin my room.
08:02All four stiffened in anger.
08:04You clearly haven't learned anything.
08:06Starting now,
08:07I'm cutting off your painkillers.
08:09Apologize to Harper properly,
08:11then I'll give you your medicine again.
08:12Good.
08:13Let her feel the pain.
08:15Maybe then she'll stop being so spoiled.
08:17I closed my eyes.
08:19Cut the painkillers?
08:20So what?
08:21Physical pain was nothing next to 20 years of misery.
08:24If anything,
08:25the pain would keep me awake while I waited to die.
08:27Seeing I didn't care at all,
08:29Declan stepped forward and yanked out my IV tube.
08:32The second the excruciating pain crashed over me,
08:35my family and fiancé turned their backs.
08:37The door slammed shut.
08:39Not one of them looked back.
08:41I reached under my pillow
08:42and pulled out a small, sharp knife I'd hidden there.
08:45It's time.
08:46Get prepared.
08:47Only 15 minutes left.
08:49Out in the hallway,
08:51they'd walked far when Arthur stopped.
08:53You guys take Harper to treat her burns.
08:55I have a bad feeling.
08:56I'm going back to check Alara.
08:58Silas jumped in.
08:59Let me go.
08:59I'm closest to her.
09:00I'll talk sense into her.
09:01Are we not her real brothers?
09:03Alara needs a doctor right now.
09:04I'm going back.
09:07They're all going.
09:08As her fiancé, I have to too.
09:09Your burn's not bad.
09:10Get it bandaged.
09:11I'll check on you later.
09:12He jogged to catch up.
09:14But the second they pushed open the door,
09:16a thick, choking stench of blood hit them.
09:19I watched it on a screen.
09:20A big monitor mounted inside a moving ambulance,
09:24fed by the hidden camera Kyle had installed in my room weeks ago.
09:28The one who used to slide bread under the closet.
09:31He found me.
09:32He had gotten me out in time.
09:33A decoy in my place.
09:35Clean and quiet.
09:36The way he did everything.
09:37I lay on the gurney and watched the footage with cold, steady eyes.
09:42Arthur knelt on the floor, clutching my body.
09:44His face was soaked with tears.
09:46Alara, I'm sorry.
09:47I was wrong.
09:48Please come back.
09:49I'll do anything.
09:50Don't leave me.
09:51Please don't leave your brother.
09:52Silas crumpled to the floor.
09:53He said nothing.
09:54Just stared at my body with hollow eyes.
09:57Declan's legs gave out.
09:58He'd seen all kinds of gruesome scene, but he couldn't even step close.
10:02Alara, it's my fault.
10:04I ripped your kidney out with my own hands.
10:06I'm a monster.
10:08I deserve to die.
10:10Come back.
10:11Hit me.
10:11Curse me.
10:12Do anything.
10:13Just...
10:13Please don't leave me like this.
10:16Julian stood frozen, staring.
10:18Then he snapped.
10:19She's not dead.
10:20Alara isn't dead.
10:22This isn't real.
10:26She's breathing.
10:27Look.
10:27She's breathing.
10:27She's faking it.
10:28She's doing this to hurt us.
10:30She's not dead.
10:31It's not her.
10:32She's always held it against us.
10:34There's no way she'd just die like this.
10:36Don't you hate us the most?
10:37You want to see us suffer?
10:38Come out.
10:39Just then, Harper lingered at the back of the room.
10:41She slipped back two steps quietly and turned to flee.
10:45Stop.
10:45You.
10:46This is all your fault.
10:50Arthur, what are you saying?
10:53Alara's dead.
10:54I'm heartbroken too.
10:56How could you blame me?
10:58Something's not right about her death.
11:00You're not leaving.
11:01You're not going anywhere until we find out the truth.
11:04She tried to act innocent.
11:05But this time, the three brothers looked at her with only suspicion.
11:09Not a single trace of pity remained.
11:11I didn't do anything.
11:12She killed herself.
11:13This has nothing to do with me.
11:15How you got adopted, or how Alara disappeared,
11:17we never dug deep.
11:18Now that she's dead, you think you can just walk away?
11:20Declan already had his phone out, dialing his security.
11:24I'm having my men keep an eye on you.
11:25Don't you dare try anything.
11:27The bodyguards closed in.
11:29Harper wanted to run, but didn't dare move.
11:32I had seen enough.
11:34Take me home.
11:35I woke up in an unfamiliar room, clean, quiet, the faint scent of gardenias.
11:41My body felt completely normal.
11:43No pain, no weakness.
11:45Kyle sat by the window.
11:46You've been unconscious for three days.
11:49I sat up and stretched.
11:50No surgical scars.
11:52No lingering aches.
11:53Declan's medicine, it turned out, had worked exactly as he'd promised.
11:57Twenty years of suffocating pain.
11:59And this whole time, someone had remembered me.
12:02I laughed softly and began to plan.
12:05I didn't rush.
12:06I thought it through carefully.
12:08Kyle took care of everything.
12:09A sturdy SUV.
12:11A high-rise condo right next to the city park.
12:14A new bookshelf.
12:16Easy care plans.
12:17Top quality cookware.
12:18I had never asked for any of it.
12:20He just knew.
12:21For the first time in my life, I had a real home.
12:24Sometimes I'd pull one out and read all afternoon.
12:27When I got tired, he'd come for me and take me for a walk.
12:30This time, I felt I wasn't alone.
12:32Kyle was always busy.
12:34I never asked him about his life.
12:36But it was clear.
12:37He was a powerful man now.
12:39A month later, he came to find me.
12:41He sat across from me at the kitchen table.
12:43Hands wrapped around a cup of tea.
12:45They're desperate to get you back.
12:47They'll stop at nothing.
12:49And innocent people are getting caught in the middle.
12:52How about let me handle this?
12:53I stared out the window for a long moment.
12:56I'll go back.
12:58I'll fix what they broke.
13:00This has to end.
13:01You know you don't have to do this.
13:04I know.
13:05But I need to end it properly.
13:07He looked worried, but finally agreed.
13:10Call me anytime.
13:12The guards are on standby.
13:14I was back.
13:15All three brothers rushed in.
13:16Hey, Laura!
13:17You're back!
13:18Don't you ever leave us again!
13:19Silas stood frozen by the bed.
13:21In his hands, a small tin of fruit drops.
13:24The exact kind I'd begged for at the orphanage, but could never buy.
13:27I locked that bitch Harper up.
13:29Everything she took from you, we're taking it all back.
13:32I got your kidney back.
13:34I had it transplanted.
13:35You're healthy again.
13:36Exactly like before.
13:42Is this about atoning for your sins?
13:45Or are you just scared I'll die on you again?
13:48They exchanged guilty, awkward looks.
13:50None could meet my eyes.
13:52A muffled scream came from nearby.
13:54The three of them tensed.
13:56We locked Harper, make her pray day and night, to repent for what she did.
14:00Declan walked over and pulled back a heavy curtain.
14:02Harper was chained to the wall on the other side.
14:09Alara, Vance, you're alive!
14:11They're only nice to you because you died.
14:12It's just a novelty!
14:13Give it a few months, they'll go back to choosing me.
14:16You'll always be the useless spare.
14:19Twenty years of hate and rivalry, all gone.
14:21It was just numbingly...
14:23Shut up!
14:24Alara, please stay.
14:25Everything the Vatres own is yours.
14:27The company, the estates, all of it.
14:29We'll obey your every order.
14:30We'll never let you hurt again.
14:31Alara, I was so wrong.
14:32Please, just give us a chance to make it right.
14:35From now on, we'll treat you a thousand times better than we ever treated Harper.
14:39I'll take care of you personally.
14:40I swear you'll live a long, healthy life.
14:42We know nothing can erase the past, but we'll spend our lives making it right.
14:46All these promises.
14:47This was exactly what I had begged for as a child.
14:51Back then, they'd searched the whole country for me.
14:54Taken out newspaper ads.
14:56Abandoned their careers.
14:57And then they gave me nothing but pain.
15:02My feelings for you weren't all fake.
15:04Harper's lies blinded me.
15:05She poisoned my ears.
15:07Said you were jealous.
15:08Said you never cared about the Vance family.
15:10The things I said at the wedding.
15:11I regretted them the second I spoke.
15:13Every day since, I've drowned in guilt.
15:15I stared at my fiancé like he was a total stranger.
15:18The man who'd slapped me two times in public.
15:22Who'd screamed he'd rather marry a dog.
15:25Now standing here, saying his love was real.
15:28The biggest joke of all.
15:30We stood in tense silence.
15:32Then Harper thrashed wildly.
15:34She slipped her wrists free.
15:35Charged straight for me.
15:36Stop her!
15:37Bodyguards lunged.
15:38But Harper fought for the maniac.
15:40She pulled a switchblade from her clothes.
15:42If I can't have the Vance's, neither can you!
15:44Alara, I'll kill you!
15:49The blade sliced deep into his shoulder.
15:51He choked, groaned.
15:52Blood poured down his shirt.
15:54Arthur!
15:57You mad woman!
15:59Don't hurt Alara!
16:00Declan and Julian rushed in,
16:01wrenched the knife away,
16:02slammed her down.
16:03The guards rushed in at once,
16:05tied her up again,
16:06and dragged her away.
16:07Arthur was still bleeding.
16:08Alara, I'm fine.
16:10As long as you're safe, I'm fine.
16:12Don't be afraid.
16:12She'll never hurt you again.
16:14I watched their show.
16:15I only found it funny.
16:16Harper was locked tight.
16:18Chained in heavy cuffs.
16:19How did she slip free?
16:20She hid a switchblade?
16:21With the Vance's power and security?
16:23They must have known.
16:24You knew she'd escape.
16:25You knew she had a knife, didn't you?
16:27The three brothers froze.
16:28Their faces went stiff.
16:29You let her go on purpose.
16:30To stage a rescue.
16:31You wanted me to watch you bleed.
16:33To pity you.
16:34To believe you changed.
16:37We hurt you too badly.
16:38We just wanted to prove we mean it.
16:39We're scared to lose you again.
16:41I saw their guilt.
16:42Maybe real.
16:42But it didn't touch me.
16:43The scars run deep.
16:45You do this to ease your own guilt.
16:46This isn't redemption.
16:47It's selfish.
16:48No, Alara.
16:49We care.
16:50We regret it all.
16:51Does regret fix anything?
16:52I cut him off coldly.
16:53Can regret ever fix what you did to me?
16:57Set Harper free.
16:58Hand her to the police.
16:59Let the law deal with her.
17:00She ruined you.
17:01You can't let her get away.
17:02I don't want your revenge.
17:03I want justice.
17:04She stole my life.
17:05That's decades in prison.
17:06You chain her.
17:07Torture her.
17:08How are you any better?
17:09You're just different kinds of monsters.
17:11All right.
17:12Whatever you say.
17:16The Vance family's mess needs cleaning up.
17:19You should compensate every innocent person you've hurt.
17:21I want everything put back the way it was.
17:24That's the only reason I came back.
17:26Yes.
17:27We'll do it right now.
17:28Everything.
17:29Exactly as you wish.
17:29For the next few weeks, I stayed at the Vance estate, but I hardly spoke to any of them.
17:34The three brothers worked nonstop.
17:36They gathered every piece of evidence against Harper and handed it straight to the prosecutors.
17:41With overwhelming proof against her, Harper was sentenced to decades in a maximum security prison.
17:46The Vance family assets were fully audited.
17:49Everything that belonged to me was returned.
17:52The money Harper had embezzled was traced and seized.
17:55As for the innocent people, they offered ample compensation.
17:59Then public anger finally calmed.
18:02Order was restored.
18:03Everything was back to normal.
18:05I knew it was time.
18:06I was just about to leave when my bedroom door opened.
18:09All four walked in together, as if they'd sensed what I was about to do.
18:14Lara, everything's done.
18:16Please, don't leave us.
18:18The Vance family is your home.
18:20We'll spend the rest of our lives making it up to you.
18:22Julian stood by the door, eyes red.
18:25Allura, I know I failed you.
18:26If you'll let me, I'll spend my life making amends.
18:30Even if all I can do is watch you from afar.
18:32A faint flicker of hesitation brushed my heart for a second.
18:35But I knew I couldn't stay.
18:37There's no need.
18:39The past is the past.
18:40I won't seek revenge.
18:42And I won't hate.
18:43But I'm not looking back.
18:44You have your lives.
18:46I have mine.
18:47All four stepped forward at once, tears streaming down their faces.
18:50Allura, just one more chance.
18:53Please.
18:54We really can't live without you.
18:56You'll be fine.
18:58Live your life.
18:59I'll live mine.
19:01From now on, we're strangers.
19:03I could hear their broken, agonized sobs behind me.
19:06But I didn't turn around.
19:07I walked out.
19:09Kyle was waiting for me outside.
19:10He didn't say anything.
19:12He never needed to.
19:13I looked back at the Vance estate one last time.
19:16The lights were still on.
19:17They were probably still standing in that room.
19:19Still waiting.
19:20Still hoping.
19:22I turned away.
19:23This time, I was going to actually live.
