AmusantTranscription
00:00Le night avant notre wedding,
00:01je m'ai vu dans notre bed
00:03avec sa fille, Sylvia Glenn.
00:05Elle était en train de l'arrivée dans nos wedding sheets,
00:08ses yeux toujours flushe avec passion.
00:11Je me suis mis en train de la pregne test,
00:13je me suis venu en la face,
00:15et j'ai demandé,
00:16« Tu veux cette fille ? »
00:19Il m'a dit tout le temps,
00:20mais en fin, il m'a dit,
00:21« C'est juste une responsabilité.
00:23Tu es la personne que je m'aime. »
00:25Après l'écran, pour la sake de mon enfant,
00:27je m'ai mis en ma vieillesse,
00:29et j'ai décidé de lui donner une dernière chance.
00:32Mais ce qu'est-ce qu'il y a de l'arrivée ?
00:34Il ne m'a pas même pas.
00:37Ses assistant rouges vers et me dit,
00:40« Je m'ai désolé, Miss Frost.
00:41Le wedding est cancelled.
00:43Miss de Cross est en son son de la maison.
00:44Miss Sevilla a souffert un heart attack. »
00:46Le bouquet fell à la terre,
00:48et mon dignité s'est mis en pieces.
00:50Je m'achète après l'un de l'arrivée,
00:52clutchant mon wedding dress,
00:53et hysteriquement screamed into le phone.
00:56Damien !
00:56« If you go to her today,
00:58I'm going to the clinic tomorrow.
01:00Your family will never have this child ! »
01:03He didn't say a word.
01:04He just hung up.
01:06I walked back to the manor gate,
01:07still wearing my wedding dress.
01:09Damien's mother rushed over and grabbed me.
01:12Alara, get inside !
01:13Don't make a scene in front of everyone !
01:18The wedding is over.
01:21Nonsense !
01:22Damien is just confused.
01:23Sylvia's in critical condition.
01:24He had to go.
01:24So he can show up for her,
01:25but not for me ?
01:27You're going to be a Cross.
01:29Learn to be tolerant.
01:30I'm done being Mrs. Cross.
01:33Leave today,
01:34and you are no longer a Cross !
01:36I walked away,
01:38without looking back.
01:39In the dressing room,
01:40I stripped off the white lace.
01:42The stylist carefully removed my headpiece.
01:45Miss Frost,
01:46your makeup ?
01:47Leave it.
01:49I grabbed my bag and walked out.
01:51Under the gray Long Island sky,
01:53I hailed a cab.
01:57Press Mysterion Hospital, please.
02:00Damien's assistant,
02:01Owen chased after me.
02:02I ignored him.
02:03I already knew the script.
02:05Mr. Cross is busy.
02:06Mr. Cross didn't mean it.
02:08For 10 years,
02:09I've heard it all.
02:10Sylvia was his responsibility,
02:12because her brother died
02:13saving Damien's life 5 years ago.
02:15I used to think his care for her was honorable.
02:17Now I realize some responsibilities
02:19have no boundaries.
02:22The cab pulled up at the hospital entrance.
02:24I paid the driver
02:25and walked straight into the ER.
02:27I found Damien on a bench
02:28outside the operating room.
02:30He saw me and stood up.
02:31Laura, you're here ?
02:33Look, about today,
02:35I'm so...
02:35How is she?
02:38Acute heart failure.
02:39They'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
02:56isn't as important as a little sister
02:58you've known for 5 years.
02:59No !
03:00You're the most important thing to me.
03:03But she's dying.
03:05What did you never take, Ghosn?
03:07The doctor never said she was dying.
03:10Just then, the ER doors swung open.
03:12Family for Sylvia ?
03:13I am.
03:15The patient had an episode of rapid heart rate
03:17due to emotional stress.
03:19She's stable now.
03:20We're moving her to a regular room
03:21for observation.
03:23Damien let out a long breath.
03:25See ?
03:25Look how fragile she is.
03:27Why can't you just be more understanding ?
03:29At that moment,
03:29the 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,
03:36clutching her hand.
03:37Sylvia, don't be scared.
03:39I'm here.
03:40I walked out of the hospital
03:41without looking back.
03:43The freezing wind hit my face.
03:45Only then did I realize
03:46my heart was racing.
03:49The next day,
03:51Damien didn't come home.
03:52The house we bought for our marriage
03:54was dead silent.
03:55I called a real estate agent
03:56and put the house on the market.
03:58Yes, a quick sale.
04:00That afternoon,
04:01Damien finally showed up.
04:02He looked exhausted.
04:04Alara, I'm apologizing for Sylvia.
04:07She didn't mean to ruin yesterday.
04:10Can't she apologize for herself ?
04:12She's still very weak.
04:16Damien, let's stop talking about her.
04:18Let's talk about us.
04:19What about the wedding ?
04:21What are we supposed to tell
04:22our friends and family ?
04:23He fell silent for a moment.
04:24Let's just wait a bit.
04:25Once the drama dies down,
04:27we'll have a redo.
04:28A reboot ?
04:29You think a wedding
04:30is something you can just reboot ?
04:32Then what else can we do ?
04:33It already happened, Alara.
04:35I know you're upset,
04:36but Sylvia just cheated death.
04:38Can't we just show
04:39a little more understanding ?
04:40Understanding ?
04:42Always with the understanding.
04:44I walked into the bedroom
04:45and 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
05:00of this little tantrum ?
05:03I'm not throwing a tantrum.
05:05I just don't live here anymore.
05:07You're not going anywhere !
05:09This is our home !
05:10I looked at him expressionlessly
05:12and said,
05:13The second you abandon it
05:14for another woman,
05:15it stopped being a home !
05:17You are being completely irrational !
05:19Just then,
05:20his phone buzzed.
05:22He picked up
05:23and his voice shifted instantly.
05:26What's wrong ?
05:27Another nightmare ?
05:29Don't be scared,
05:30I'm coming right now.
05:31He ended the call,
05:32a flicker of impatience
05:33on his face.
05:34Stop acting out, Alara.
05:36Sylvia is still unstable,
05:38I have to check on her.
05:39We'll talk when I'm back.
05:40He thought I'd cave in,
05:41like I always did.
05:43If you walk out that door today,
05:45don't bother coming back.
05:47Alara,
05:48my patience has its limits.
05:49Then,
05:50he left anyway.
05:51I listened to the sound
05:52of the door slamming shut.
05:54I placed the last piece of clothing
05:55into my suitcase
05:56and pulled the zipper.
06:00I moved back to my city studio,
06:02a red brick brownstone
06:03with my office downstairs
06:04and my life upstairs.
06:06Damien didn't call.
06:07I didn't reach out either.
06:09A week later,
06:10his mother, Vera,
06:11asked to meet.
06:12Ten million dollars.
06:14Leave Damien.
06:16Vera,
06:17between Damien and me,
06:18it was never about the money.
06:20I know you've been together
06:21for ten years.
06:22But Elida,
06:23understand this.
06:24The Cross family
06:25needs a wife
06:26who is sensible,
06:27someone who supports Damien,
06:28not a troublemaker
06:30who 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,
06:40you should support him,
06:41not fight him.
06:43I don't want the money.
06:44And I don't want Damien anymore either.
06:46I hope he and Sylvia
06:47have a long, happy life together.
06:49They deserve each other.
06:50I stepped out,
06:51changed my number,
06:52and dumped every Cross family
06:54business card
06:55into the trash.
06:55The world grew quiet.
06:58I started focusing
06:59all my energy
07:00on preparing
07:01for the Milan jewelry
07:02design competition
07:03three months away.
07:04It was my ultimate dream
07:06as a designer.
07:07My days were full
07:08and peaceful.
07:13Until the day
07:14an uninvited guest
07:15showed up at my studio.
07:17Alara,
07:17I'm here to apologize
07:18about the wedding.
07:20It was my fault.
07:21I shouldn't get to the point.
07:22Damon has been
07:23in a really bad place lately,
07:24drinking constantly,
07:25and I know it's all
07:26because of me.
07:27This is the card he gave me.
07:28I haven't spent a dime.
07:29Please,
07:29just don't be mad
07:30at him anymore, okay?
07:32Sylvia,
07:32do you think this is funny?
07:34I don't know what you mean.
07:35Every time you get sick,
07:37every emergency you have,
07:38it always happens
07:39exactly when Damien
07:40and I have a milestone.
07:41You've timed it all perfectly,
07:43haven't you?
07:43I didn't take your card
07:45and get the hell
07:45out of my studio.
07:46I know you hate me,
07:48but if Damien had been
07:50the one who died
07:50five years ago
07:51instead of my brother,
07:52how would you feel?
07:54Believe it or not,
07:55I never wanted
07:56to ruin you two.
07:57I'm just so lonely.
07:59She turned and left.
08:04I swiped that card
08:06straight into the trash.
08:08Alora!
08:09What the hell
08:10did you do to Sylvia?
08:16Alora!
08:17What the hell
08:18did you do to Sylvia?
08:19She slit her wrists
08:20the moment she got home.
08:22If the nurse
08:22hadn't found her in time,
08:24she'd be dead!
08:25Are you satisfied now?
08:29I didn't do anything.
08:30You're still lying.
08:31She's so kind,
08:32she brought you
08:33all her savings
08:34to make amends
08:34and you still had
08:35to provoke her?
08:37Damien,
08:39do you trust her
08:40or me?
08:41I'm taking you
08:42to the hospital.
08:43Apologize to her.
08:44I'm not going.
08:45You don't have a choice!
08:47Damien,
08:47you've lost your mind!
08:48You're the one
08:48who's lost it!
08:49You weren't like this before!
08:50When did you become
08:50so vicious,
08:51so unreasonable?
08:52He was right.
08:53I wasn't like this before.
08:55The old me
08:55would have believed
08:56every word he said.
08:57I would have felt
08:57his pain as my own
08:58and taken all his problems
09:00on my shoulders.
09:01When did I change?
09:02He flung the car door open
09:04and tried to shove me inside.
09:06I used all my strength
09:07and ripped myself free.
09:11Damien,
09:14we're over.
09:16What did you say?
09:17I said,
09:18we're over.
09:18From now on,
09:19you and Sylvia
09:20have nothing to do with me.
09:21Alara,
09:22don't you dare regret this!
09:23My only regret
09:24is pulling you out
09:25of the mud
09:25ten years ago
09:26just for you
09:26to push me back in.
09:28I leaned against the door,
09:29listening to him
09:30pounding on it.
09:31Alara,
09:32open the door!
09:33Then,
09:34the roar of an engine,
09:36he was gone.
09:37Suddenly,
09:37a sharp searing pain
09:38shot through my lower abdomen.
09:40I looked down.
09:41Blood was trickling down my legs.
09:44Seven weeks pregnant.
09:45You're showing signs
09:46of a threatened miscarriage.
09:48Your stress levels
09:49are too high.
09:50My baby.
09:52Can it be saved?
09:53We need to observe you,
09:55but we need a family member
09:56to sign the papers.
09:57Where's your husband?
09:58He's away on business.
10:01Then call someone else.
10:07I had no one else.
10:09My parents died
10:10when I was young.
10:11My grandfather raised me,
10:13and he passed away
10:14five years ago.
10:16I thought I had Damien.
10:18Now,
10:18I have no one.
10:19Owen sent an envelope.
10:21Inside was a photo.
10:28And there was a note.
10:30Miss,
10:31Mr. Cross said
10:32he'll come find you
10:33once Miss Glenn is stable.
10:34Then,
10:35I stood up and walked back
10:37into the doctor's office.
10:39Doctor,
10:40have you decided?
10:41I don't want the baby anymore.
10:44I lay down
10:45on the operating table.
10:47As the anesthesia kicked in,
10:48my last thought was,
10:50Damien,
10:51we're even now.
10:52I didn't go back
10:53to the studio.
10:55I went straight
10:56to the airport
10:56and bought a one-way ticket
10:58to Milan.
11:00Before leaving,
11:01I left a note
11:02for Damien
11:03through my lawyer.
11:04The breakup agreement
11:05is on its way.
11:06I don't want the house,
11:08the car,
11:08or anything else.
11:09Just sign it.
11:10I sealed the envelope,
11:12leaving my past
11:12and those ten years behind.
11:14As the plane took off,
11:16watching the city shrink below,
11:18I told myself,
11:20Elora,
11:21you are reborn.
11:22Life in Milan
11:23was harder than I imagined.
11:25No friends,
11:26no money,
11:27and a massive language barrier.
11:29By day,
11:30I audited classes
11:31at the Jewelry Academy.
11:32By night,
11:33I washed dishes
11:34in a small bistro.
11:37It was grueling,
11:38but my mind was at peace.
11:41I poured every ounce
11:42of my love and pain
11:43from the last decade
11:44into my sketches.
11:46Three months later,
11:47I stood on the stage
11:48of the Milan
11:49International Jewelry
11:50Design Competition
11:51with my masterpiece,
11:53The Caged Bird.
11:54I won the gold medal.
11:56Standing under the sparklights,
11:57surrounded by camera flashes,
11:59I finally smiled.
12:00I was no longer
12:01the Elora
12:01who lived in Damien's shadow.
12:03I was Elora,
12:04the designer,
12:05Boss,
12:06Cross Group CEO
12:06Damien Cross is here.
12:08Three years later,
12:09I returned home
12:09with my own brand,
12:10reflecting snow.
12:11He's in the front row.
12:12He hasn't taken
12:12his eyes off you.
12:13Oh,
12:14I took a sip of my drink
12:15and stayed silent.
12:16Anna,
12:17go get the finale piece ready.
12:18On it.
12:19He's lost a lot of weight.
12:20He looks exhausted.
12:24Ladies and gentlemen,
12:25please join me
12:26in welcoming
12:27the designer
12:27of tonight's show,
12:29Elora Frost!
12:33We held each other's gaze
12:34for three seconds.
12:36I gave him a faint smile,
12:38then turned
12:39and walked off the stage.
12:42Backstage,
12:42Anna 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
12:54through the side exit
12:55and got into my car.
12:56After driving a good distance,
12:58I took one last look back.
13:00He was still there,
13:01just as Anna said.
13:02He'd lost weight.
13:03He looked older.
13:04He wasn't that sharp,
13:06confident man
13:06I remembered anymore.
13:08A jazz song
13:09started playing
13:09on the car radio.
13:10I turned it off.
13:12My brand exploded
13:13in New York overnight.
13:14Orders started pouring in
13:15like a blizzard.
13:16I was buried in work.
13:18Damien tried everything
13:19to see me.
13:19He bought the cafe
13:20right under my studio
13:21just to sit by the window
13:23every day.
13:23He bought every single
13:24one of my designs.
13:26Wrap all of these up.
13:26I ignored him completely.
13:28One day,
13:28right after a meeting,
13:30Anna walked in.
13:30Boss,
13:31there's a Miss Glenn
13:32downstairs here to see you.
13:33She said her name
13:34is Sylvia Glenn.
13:35My pen paused
13:36for a second.
13:39Tell her to come up.
13:40Years later,
13:41Sylvia changed.
13:42Elora,
13:43long time no see.
13:44She wore heavy makeup
13:45and designer suits.
13:46Her eyes now sharp
13:48and bitter.
13:48She wasn't that
13:49helpless little flower anymore.
13:51Did you come here
13:52for something?
13:53I'm here to ask you
13:54to leave New York!
13:55On what grounds?
13:56I asked calmly.
14:00Because Damien
14:01loves you now!
14:02Everything changed
14:03the 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
14:12meant to be anyway.
14:14No!
14:15I'm the one who stayed
14:16by his side
14:16these last three years.
14:18I was there
14:18when he hit rock bottom.
14:20What gives you the right
14:21to just walk back in
14:22and steal him away?
14:24I looked at her
14:25like she was a joke.
14:26Sylvia,
14:27have you forgotten?
14:28He was mine
14:29to 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,
14:40finally.
14:41She snatched a stack
14:42of photos from her bag
14:43and slammed them
14:44onto my desk.
14:44Don't get too smug,
14:46Alara!
14:46You think he actually
14:48loves you?
14:49It's just guilt!
14:50Take a good look
14:52and look at these.
14:53I picked up the photos.
14:55It was a headstone.
14:57The name on it,
14:59Silas Glenn.
15:00My mind went blank.
15:02The world seemed
15:03to explode.
15:04He actually,
15:05he built a monument
15:06for the baby
15:06who never had a chance
15:07to be born.
15:08He told me
15:09his biggest regret
15:10in life is that child.
15:11He's only trying
15:12to get you back
15:12to make amends.
15:13Alaya,
15:14you're just a tool
15:14for his guilt.
15:15My hands shook so hard
15:16I couldn't hold
15:17the photos.
15:18Get out!
15:19You're kicking me out?
15:21You can't win,
15:22Alara.
15:23As long as he owes
15:24my brother for saving
15:25his life,
15:26Damien can never
15:27truly leave me.
15:28I stood up,
15:29walked over to her,
15:30and slapped her hard
15:31across the face.
15:32She gasped,
15:33clutching her cheek
15:34in disbelief.
15:34You dared to hit me?
15:36She grabbed my hair.
15:37I pushed her away hard,
15:39and she stared at me
15:40in complete shock.
15:41That was for my
15:42unborn child.
15:43I picked up
15:43the office phone.
15:45Security?
15:45Throw this woman out.
15:47Now.
15:48Alara,
15:49you'll pay for this!
15:50I'll make your life
15:51a living hell!
15:53Nameless grave,
15:54my tears finally broke.
15:56I fell ill,
15:57a fever that wouldn't break.
15:58Anna rushed me
15:59to the hospital.
16:00I lay in the hospital bed,
16:02drifting in
16:02and out of consciousness.
16:04It felt like I was back
16:05in that freezing
16:06operating room
16:07three years ago.
16:08The nightmares
16:09were relentless.
16:10Tiny Baby kept crying
16:11in my dreams.
16:12Mommy,
16:13why didn't you want me?
16:15I was scared,
16:17awake.
16:18The first thing
16:19I saw was Damien.
16:20He was sitting
16:21by my bed,
16:22his face covered
16:22in dark stubble,
16:23his eyes bloodshot.
16:25Alara,
16:25you're awake.
16:27I pulled my hand away
16:28and turned my head.
16:30I'm sorry about the baby.
16:32I'm so sorry.
16:34Back then,
16:35I thought you aborted
16:37the child
16:37because you hated me.
16:39I was too afraid
16:40to ask,
16:40too afraid
16:41to find you.
16:42I thought it would
16:43only make you hate me more.
16:44I visit the grave
16:45every year.
16:46I even gave him a name,
16:48Snowcross.
16:50My entire body froze.
16:52I've been looking for you
16:54for three years,
16:55Alara.
16:56I know I messed up.
16:58Just give me
16:59one more chance,
17:00please?
17:00I kept silent,
17:02watching him.
17:03I'll handle Sylvia.
17:04I'll cut her out completely.
17:05I swear.
17:06From now on,
17:07my world will only be
17:07you and our child.
17:08Our child.
17:09The one who's already gone.
17:11How pathetic.
17:13Damien,
17:13just leave.
17:16I won't!
17:17He stood up
17:18and tried to pull me
17:18into his arms.
17:19I dodged him.
17:21Alara?
17:21You're right.
17:23I aborted the baby
17:24because I hated you.
17:26I hated you
17:27for walking out
17:27on our wedding.
17:29I hated you
17:30for throwing away
17:30our ten years together.
17:33I hated you
17:34for choosing her.
17:35over and over again.
17:37So I gave up
17:38on your child.
17:39The color drained
17:40from his face instantly.
17:42No.
17:43No,
17:44you're not like that.
17:45You couldn't be.
17:46I am exactly like that.
17:48I watched his agony
17:49but felt nothing.
17:50There is no us anymore.
17:51The woman standing
17:52before you
17:53is Alara,
17:54the designer,
17:55not the fool
17:56who would give up
17:57everything for you.
17:58That fool died
18:00on that operating table
18:01three years ago.
18:02She's gone.
18:03Anna walked in
18:04with my medication
18:05and froze
18:05when she saw Damien.
18:08Boss,
18:08are you okay?
18:10I need to rest.
18:12Please,
18:13get out.
18:14He stood there,
18:14his lips trembling.
18:16Finally,
18:17he gave me one last,
18:18lingering look
18:19and turned to leave.
18:20His back was hunched,
18:21as if he'd aged
18:22ten years
18:22in a single moan.
18:24After I was discharged,
18:25Damien stopped pestering me.
18:27I guess he finally gave up.
18:28I poured everything
18:30into my work.
18:31My brand went global,
18:32expanding into Europe.
18:33I spent most of my time abroad,
18:36only passing through New York
18:37for quick trips.
18:39I only heard about Damien
18:40through the financial news.
18:42He'd liquidated
18:43almost all of
18:43Cross Group's assets.
18:45His major investments
18:46were failing.
18:47Word is,
18:48Damien kicked Sylvia
18:49out without a penny.
18:51She's been trashing him
18:52to the press,
18:53claiming he's ungrateful
18:54and has a secret child.
18:55But no one believes her.
18:57She's hit rock bottom.
18:59I listened,
19:00feeling nothing.
19:01None of it mattered to me
19:02anymore.
19:03A year later,
19:04my solo retrospective
19:05opened at the
19:06New York Museum of Art.
19:07Every milestone piece
19:09of my career
19:09was on display.
19:10The opening night
19:11was packed.
19:12I was in the lounge,
19:14prepping my speech,
19:15when Anna rushed in,
19:17looking pale.
19:18Boss,
19:19we have a problem.
19:20What is it?
19:22Sylvia's here.
19:23She's making a scene
19:24in the gallery,
19:24claiming your breakout piece
19:26was plagiarized.
19:27Has she lost her mind?
19:29She brought original sketches
19:31that look almost identical
19:32to yours,
19:33just with minor differences.
19:35The press is swarming her.
19:37I stood up and walked
19:37out of the lounge.
19:38The gallery was in chaos.
19:40Sylvia stood in front
19:41of the caged bird,
19:42sobbing for the cameras.
19:43This piece was designed
19:44by me and my brother,
19:46Silas Glenn.
19:47It was his final work.
19:49Allura was just an assistant
19:50in 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,
20:04you thief.
20:06You actually showed up.
20:07You claim you and your brother
20:09designed this piece?
20:10Exactly.
20:11When?
20:12Six years ago.
20:14I smiled.
20:15Everyone,
20:16listen.
20:17The inspiration for this piece
20:19did come from someone.
20:21But it wasn't Simus Glenn.
20:23It was...
20:25Damien Cross.
20:28I created this piece
20:29in my darkest hours
20:31after our breakup.
20:32It symbolizes my trapped love
20:34and longing for freedom.
20:36As for Miss Glenn's evidence,
20:37I looked at her.
20:39I knew it was drawn by Damien.
20:41You're...
20:42You're lying!
20:42We can call a handwriting expert
20:45right now.
20:46Damien has been drawing
20:47for ten years.
20:49I could recognize
20:50his brushstrokes
20:51with my eyes closed.
20:53And I know that you...
20:57The gallery fell
20:58into a deathly silence.
21:00Everyone was too stunned
21:01to speak.
21:02Sylvia's eyes widened,
21:04staring at Damien
21:05in disbelief.
21:06I've been digging
21:07into that accident
21:08from five years ago.
21:09I tracked down
21:10the original officers
21:11and got the full
21:12investigation report.
21:14That truck had
21:15a brake failure.
21:16Only brake failure.
21:18No murder.
21:19Silas Glenn was driven
21:20to despair
21:20by 30 million dollars
21:22in gambling debts.
21:23In his suicide nota,
21:25he told you clearly,
21:26use my guilt
21:28to live a good life.
21:31He never told you
21:32to use that guilt
21:34to destroy
21:36the woman I love.
21:38Because of that guilt,
21:39I sacrificed my wedding.
21:41I sacrificed Alera.
21:44I lost my lover
21:46and I lost my child.
21:48I've lived my life
21:49as a total joke.
21:51Damien's eyes welled up,
21:52voice trembling.
21:53He lost the wedding.
21:54Lost me.
21:55Lost our unborn child.
21:57If your brother
21:57is watching you from above,
21:59do you think he would
22:00truly be at peace?
22:04I don't know.
22:07Sylvia clutched her head
22:09and broke down hysterically.
22:10Cameras flashed non-stop,
22:12recording her humiliating collapse.
22:14Security dragged her away.
22:16The farce ended at last.
22:18Damien turned slowly,
22:19his eyes sweeping across
22:21every piece of my work.
22:22Deep, raw regret
22:24filled his gaze.
22:25Alera,
22:26the 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,
22:37heavy silence,
22:38I shook my head.
22:39It's too late, Damien.
22:42With that,
22:43I turned and walked
22:44back into the lounge.
22:45I shut the door,
22:46leaving him,
22:47and everything else,
22:49behind me.
22:49After that day,
22:50Damien vanished.
22:52Cross Group went bankrupt
22:53and liquidated.
22:54He dismissed all staff,
22:56sold all assets,
22:57paid all debts,
22:59then left New York alone.
23:01No one knew his whereabouts.
23:03My life finally returned
23:05to a state of peace.
23:06My brand went public in Paris,
23:08becoming a truly global name,
23:10only occasionally hearing
23:12whispers of Damien
23:13from Anna.
23:14Some said they saw him
23:15working in the fields
23:16on a ranch out west.
23:17Others saw him volunteering
23:18at a rural church in the south.
23:20It was as if he were living
23:22like a monk,
23:22punishing himself
23:23through labor.
23:24I listened,
23:25but felt nothing.
23:26or paths had diverged
23:28for good.
23:29Five years later,
23:30I moved back to New York
23:31and bought a house
23:32with a garden.
23:34I adopted a little girl
23:35named Iris.
23:36She's precious,
23:37with two tiny dimples
23:38when she smiles.
23:40I love her dearly.
23:41We are happy.
23:44One winter afternoon,
23:46I took Iris to the park.
23:48The snow was falling heavily.
23:50Iris was building a snowman
23:51while I watched from a bench.
23:53Nearby,
23:54a man in a janitor's uniform
23:55was shoveling snow.
23:56He wore a hat and a mask,
23:58hiding his face.
23:59But his movements were slow,
24:01strained.
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,
24:09leaned down,
24:10and handed it back to her.
24:13As he looked up,
24:14his 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,
24:22watching him.
24:22Damien also froze
24:24when he saw me.
24:25His eyes widened,
24:26filled with shock,
24:27guilt,
24:27and a hint of embarrassment.
24:29He quickly pulled up his mask,
24:31turned around,
24:32and continued shoveling snow.
24:34His movements even more strained
24:36than before.
24:37Iris looked up at him,
24:38then at me,
24:39confused.
24:40Mommy, who is he?
24:42I smiled and stroked
24:43her head gently.
24:44Iris nodded happily
24:45and ran back to the snowman.
24:47I stood up,
24:48took one last glance
24:49at Damien's back.
24:50He was hunched over,
24:51shoveling snow,
24:53one slow,
24:54laborious stroke at a time.
24:56Iris, come here.
24:57It's time to go home.
24:58Mommy,
25:00that mister is crying.
25:05The past is gone.
25:06I have my life now,
25:08my Iris,
25:08and a future full of hope.
25:10Damien's atonement,
25:11his regrets,
25:12they are no longer my burden.
25:14We finally parted ways,
25:16in the heavy snow,
25:17with no more entanglement.
25:21We've got tests,
25:21and keeping up,
25:21do we see this next week?
