Short filmTranscript
00:00The lights went out in the middle of the gala. A second later, I was slammed against the wall
00:04and kissed hard. It was Lila Monroe. When the lights came back on, she was already blushing
00:08against my shoulder. Everyone laughed. To them, this was expected. Later that night,
00:18my father stood across from me. After we got married, she took care of everything until the
00:25day she died. That's when I found the hidden room in our house. Inside were multi-million dollar
00:30insurance documents. Beneficiary, Harry Carter, my adopted brother. I opened the drawer. Stacks
00:35of love letters and bank transfers. All for him. The betrayal hit me so hard, my vision went black.
00:42Zane, have you decided? I opened my eyes. My father stood in front of me, younger with no gray hair.
00:48I
00:48looked in the mirror. Same room, same day. I was back. Zane, you always pick Lila. What's taking so
00:54long? Just go with her. The Monroe family isn't the strongest, but it's fine. As long as she takes
00:58care of you and gives us an heir, I approve. I'm not choosing her. No, you don't like Lila anymore?
01:03I don't. Not anymore. The four families were already waiting in the main hall. Before I walked in,
01:08Lila grabbed my wrist and pulled me aside. I know you're picking me, but I love someone else. Change
01:13your mind. I cold smile. Who I choose isn't up to you, Lila. If you don't want this, take your
01:17parents
01:17and leave now. And don't show up in front of me again. I turned and walked into the hall. No
01:21one spoke.
01:22Lila sat down, her face pale with anger. Zane, think carefully. Lila, you knew he'd pick you.
01:28What was that about? We didn't even bother hoping. Right, Sophie? My eyes landed on Sophie Quinn.
01:34Out of the four girls, she was the only one who never got along with me. When we were kids,
01:38she tore my books, dropped a snake into my bag. But whenever I was in real trouble,
01:43she was always the first to show up. In my last life, in less than 10 years,
01:46she rose to the very top. The richest person in the world. If I've been given another chance,
01:51then this time, I'm choosing the best. I choose...
01:55The hell? Watch it! Through the glass,
01:57Harry was cowering in the yard. I'm sorry. I didn't see you.
02:00Didn't see me? You blind? Who let trash like you in here?
02:03He raised his hand about to strike. Before it landed, Lila bolted out of the room.
02:08Chloe and Madison followed and pulled Sophie with them. Sophie looked back at me. Her dark eyes
02:12held an emotion I couldn't read. My heart skipped a beat. Outside, the man froze when he saw Lila.
02:18Miss Monroe? Put your hand down! She shielded Harry.
02:21Don't you know who he is? He's Mr. Carter's son. The second son!
02:24The man immediately backed off, apologized, and ran off. Harry stood behind her,
02:28then looked toward me inside. I'm sorry. Did I interrupt something? I didn't mean to...
02:33It's not your fault, Harry. You're also a Carter. Don't let others walk all over you.
02:37I watched them from inside and sneered. Harry was just an orphan my father adopted,
02:41so I wouldn't grow up alone. That's all he was. I gave him everything. My father's voice cut in.
02:46Zane, make your choice. I turned back. No hesitation. I choose Sophie Quinn.
02:52Lila's parents froze. Sophie's parents almost jumped up in joy.
02:55Sophie? You two always tear each other apart. She won't be a problem once we're married.
02:59Absolutely not! Sophie will treat you like a king!
03:02Good. Then lowered my voice. Don't tell them yet. The wedding is in a week. Just make sure the bride
03:06shows up. Three days later, Lila stormed into the dining room. Zane! Mr. Carter, I need to say
03:11something. I didn't even look up. We're eating. Wait. I can't wait. I don't love you,
03:15and I won't marry you. My father was about to speak. I cut him off. I don't care.
03:19Just show up. She straightened her back. I refuse. Fine. If you love him that much,
03:24I'll let him get married too. Seven days from now, you can sit there and watch him marry someone else.
03:28Why are you making it this hard for everyone? Why force me like this? You think money makes you
03:32God? I held her gaze. Didn't blink. Yeah. I can. Fine. I'll marry you.
03:39What was that? I thought you were choosing Sophie. Why push Lila like this? I didn't answer right
03:44away. I could see it again. That room. The letters. Her handwriting. Page after page. She
03:49owes me. Let them be. Seven days later. Two weddings. Same day. I marry Sophie Quinn. Harry
03:56marries Lila Monroe. If that's who she chose, I'll give him to her. The wedding day. Harry and I walked
04:01out of the Carter estate. I'm not letting you get away with this, Zane. Harry glared at my back.
04:05Don't speak too soon. You might end up thanking me. Harry's eyes turned red. Lila.
04:11Wearing the wedding dress I bought her, looking flawless. But her mind was on him. She clenched
04:16her fists. Zane, I'm begging you. Pick someone else. I didn't answer. I took the bridal corsage
04:22and pinned it to her chest. You don't get a say in this anymore, Lila. And tell Harry to save
04:27his
04:27waterworks. The real nightmare hasn't even started. She bit her lip. Who are you forcing him to marry?
04:32Do you just enjoy crushing people's dignity? It's my wedding day. I'm not doing this.
04:35Get in the car. I forced her into the limo. Dead silenced the whole ride. We arrived at the
04:40hotel. I scanned the grand hall. No sign of Sophie. Zane, I don't care who you pick for me.
04:48I only love Lila. I'm only marrying her. Panic erupted in the ballroom. Whispers filled the room.
04:53Two brothers fighting over the same girl? Guess the charity case never stood a chance against the
04:57real heir. I became the villain. Lila lunged forward. She grabbed the sharp blade with her bare hands.
05:02Harry, stop! I promise you, I won't marry him. You're my only groom today.
05:11Sorry, Mr. Carter. The wedding posters are late. Massive canvases unrolled across the floor.
05:16Someone in the crowd gasped. Wait!
05:19Zane isn't marrying Lila. He's marrying Sophie Quinn.
05:22Lila is marrying Harry. Why the hell is he holding a knife?
05:23Everyone froze. Blood dripped from Lila's hand. Her grip on Harry loosened. She stared at the giant
05:29poster behind me. She looked at me. Disbelief. You're not marrying me?
05:37From the corner of the room, Sophie stepped out. Wearing a stunning custom gown. She looked at the
05:43poster. Are you serious about this, Zane?
05:46I walked over to her. Dropped to one knee.
05:50I don't play games. You are my only bride today. Say the word, and let's make this official.
05:56She didn't hesitate. Nodded.
05:58I do.
05:58The room was dead quiet.
06:00Are you sure? No regrets?
06:01Never.
06:04I chose you on my birthday. Why would I regret it?
06:08What?
06:08Her face drained of color.
06:10Zane, are you insane? You were supposed to choose me!
06:12The union between our families isn't a game. The entire city is watching. There is no coming back
06:16from it!
06:16When did I ever say I was marrying you, Lila? You didn't want to be my wife. I'm granting your
06:20wish.
06:20Then why did you pin this corset on me? Isn't this for the bride?
06:22It is. You are a bride today, just not mine. I gave you my blessing. Today isn't just my wedding
06:27with Sophie. It's yours with Harry. Two weddings, one roof.
06:30Really?
06:32He grabbed Lila's bleeding hand.
06:34You're really letting us be together?
06:36Yes.
06:37Lila's face turned even darker.
06:39Fine, Zane. You chose this.
06:41Don't regret it.
06:43Sophie laughed sharply.
06:44Regret what? The Monroe name doesn't even hold a candle to the Quinn Empire. And as for me,
06:48I outclass you in every conceivable way. Looks, brains, bank accounts. What exactly would my
06:52husband regret?
06:53Lila had no answer. It was the truth. The Monroes were the weakest of the four families. But because
06:57I used to worship her, she always thought she was royalty. Now that I have chosen someone else,
07:02she was panicking. She turned to Harry.
07:04I said I would marry you. Let's go. If Zane doesn't regret this, I won't either.
07:09She took a deep breath, grabbed Harry's arm, walked into the grand hall. Two stages. Two
07:14couples. The officiant spoke almost at the same time.
07:17Miss Sophia Quinn, do you take Mr. Zane Carter to be your lawfully wedded husband?
07:22I do.
07:22Miss Lila Monroe, do you take Mr. Harry Carter to be your lawfully wedded husband?
07:26Mr. Zane Carter, do you take Miss Sophie Quinn to be your lawfully wedded wife? To love,
07:29honor, and cherish her as long as you both shall live?
07:31I do.
07:32Miss Monroe?
07:32That destroyed the last trace of hope in Lila's eyes. She thought I was bluffing.
07:36Lila, what are you thinking?
07:38She thought I would back out at the last second. I didn't.
07:41I do.
07:42And you, Mr. Carter?
07:43I do.
07:45The ceremony ended. Harry changed his suit, ready to toast the guests. But the ballroom was empty.
07:50Every single billionaire, CEO, and socialite walking toward my side of the hall.
07:54Harry and Lila stood frozen.
07:56I'm sorry, Lila. If it wasn't for me.
08:00Harry tried to play the victim. Lila didn't even look at him. The weddings wrapped up.
08:04I took Sophie home, to the Carter estate.
08:08Mr. Carter said this explains everything.
08:10It was a picture from when she was 10, during her family's survival training camp. She had passed out.
08:16This is Zane, no.
08:17A young boy was carrying her on his back, walking through a massive thunderstorm,
08:22soaked to the bone, struggling with every step. She recognized the boy instantly.
08:27Impossible. When I woke up, Harry was sitting right next to me. It couldn't have been him.
08:37Lila, what's wrong?
08:40I'm going to ask you once.
08:43When I was 10.
08:44When I collapsed in the woods.
08:46Were you the one who carried me back?
08:48Yes! Lila, have you forgotten?
08:50I stayed by your bed until you woke up.
08:54Then why the hell is Zane in this picture?
08:57It's an AI fake. It has to be.
08:59Zane loves taking things from me.
09:01He wants to ruin us, Lila.
09:03He faked this to tear us apart.
09:04Lila's breathing slowed.
09:06A sliver of rationalization kicked in.
09:08I swear on my life, Lila.
09:09We're married now.
09:11You have to trust me.
09:12Harry let out a quiet breath of relief.
09:14But the seed was planted.
09:15A thorn in Lila's chest.
09:17She had to know the truth.
09:18The next morning, her private investigator called.
09:23Miss Monroe, we analyzed the photo.
09:25It's 100% real.
09:27No digital manipulation and no traces of AI generation.
09:30Also, we dug into Harry's background.
09:32I just sent you a file.
09:34Dozens of photos with different women in every shot.
09:37Every smooth move he made last night suddenly made her sick.
09:40He wasn't some innocent guy.
09:41He was a pro.
09:42She turned her head.
09:43Harry was still sleeping soundly next to her.
09:46Pure rage boiled in her blood.
09:47What the hell, Lila?
09:49I'll ask you one last time.
09:50Who carried me that day?
09:52Harry looked at her eyes.
09:53He knew he was caught.
09:54But the ink on the marriage certificate was already dry.
09:57Harry looked away, his voice dropping.
10:00It wasn't me.
10:04He went to find a doctor.
10:06Told me to watch over you.
10:08When you woke up, you saw me.
10:10You assumed I saved you.
10:13You lied to me.
10:16And these?
10:17I didn't mean to.
10:18I wanted to tell you, but I loved you too much.
10:21Those girls mean nothing.
10:22That was all before you.
10:23You're the only one I love.
10:25Please, Lila, forgive me.
10:27I loved the wrong person.
10:28I'm such an idiot.
10:30He just married someone else.
10:32It's all too late.
10:35No turning back.
10:36Lila.
10:36Don't say my name.
10:38Don't touch me.
10:38I need time.
10:39She loved the wrong man.
10:40She married the wrong man.
10:42Three days passed.
10:43Lila, we are supposed to visit the Carter estate today.
10:45I don't.
10:46She didn't want to go.
10:47But the thought of seeing me.
10:48Okay, I'll go.
10:50As they walked into the foyer, Sophie and I were coming down the grand staircase.
10:54She reached out.
10:55Grabbed my arm.
10:56Zane.
10:56Let go of him, Lila.
10:58Zane, please.
10:59Can we talk?
11:01What is there to talk about?
11:02Sister-in-law?
11:05Please.
11:06Just ten minutes.
11:07We need to talk.
11:09I said we have nothing to talk about.
11:11My wife and I just woke up.
11:12We haven't had breakfast yet.
11:14If you're here to visit, go to the parlor.
11:16My father is waiting.
11:17Harry was practically shaking.
11:18His new wife begging his brother right in front of his face.
11:22It was the ultimate humiliation.
11:24He had done so much to make her fall for him.
11:26He couldn't let it end like this.
11:28I won't let everything end just like this.
11:30In the parlor, my father made small talk.
11:33But she was completely checked out.
11:35Just as he was about to wrap it out.
11:37Mr. Carter, I need to tell you something.
11:39Go ahead.
11:40I want a divorce.
11:43Lila, do you hear yourself?
11:44Are you out of your mind, Lila?
11:46You've been married to Harry for three days.
11:49Adopted or not, he's still a Carter.
11:51You think our family is a joke?
11:52You think you're playing house?
11:54I've thought about this a long time.
11:56The man I truly love is Zayn, not Harry.
11:59I only married him because I mistook him for my savior.
12:02Is this a game to you?
12:04When Zayn wanted to marry you, you threatened to die rather than be his wife.
12:07Now you want him back?
12:09Who do you think you are?
12:10I was wrong about the past.
12:12I know Zayn still has feelings for me.
12:15He only married Sophie to make me jealous.
12:18Please, give us your blessing.
12:20Watching her kneel for another man, Harry's hands clenched into fists at his sides.
12:24His nails dug so hard into his palms, they drew blood.
12:28His eyes were completely red.
12:32Lila, how could you do this to me?
12:35I'm sorry.
12:36It's my fault.
12:38I married you by mistake.
12:39But Zayn and I belong together.
12:43Shut your mouth, Lila.
12:46Where do you get the nerve to say we belong together?
12:48I've tolerated you for a long time, Lila.
12:50You keep throwing yourself at my husband.
12:52Do you have any self-respect left?
12:55Please.
12:56Zayn, who exactly do you want?
12:58I want Sophie, Dad.
12:59I only love her.
13:00No one else.
13:01Especially not Lila.
13:02Zayn, I know I messed up.
13:04I mistook him for you.
13:05Just give me one more chance.
13:07Divorce Sophie.
13:08We...
13:10Do you think I'm dead?
13:12Hit me.
13:13Hit me all you want.
13:15Just give him back to me.
13:16Shut up, Lila.
13:17You are my wife.
13:18You chose to marry me.
13:20It was all a lie.
13:21If you hadn't tricked me, I never would have looked at you.
13:24Now that I know what kind of man you really are, I'm disgusted.
13:29Whether Zayn takes me back or not, I'm divorcing you.
13:33In her delusional mind, I still loved her.
13:35She believed she could eventually win me back.
13:38You ruthless bitch, Lila.
13:39I hate you, Zayn.
13:42Why?
13:43Why do you get to be the real heir, and I'm just a charity case?
13:48You get everything handed to you on a silver platter while I have to beg for scraps!
13:52And now my own wife wants to leave me for you?
13:55Watch your back, Zayn.
13:56Four bodyguards with him at all times.
13:58We can't get close.
13:59He's alone with Sophie right now.
14:01I want him kidnapped and dead.
14:02I want him erased from this world.
14:03Once he's gone, the entire Carter empire is mine.
14:06And Lila will have no choice but to come back to me.
14:08He has to go.
14:10And the payment?
14:11Once I inherit the estate, you can name your price.
14:15Deal.
14:16We move tonight.
14:17But we need an opening.
14:19He drinks a custom herbal tea every night before bed.
14:22I'll pay off the maid.
14:24Slip sleeping pills into his cup.
14:25Create a distraction outside to pull Sophie away.
14:28Then you just bag and drag him.
14:30After that, he's all yours.
14:31Consider it done, boss.
14:34You forced my hand, Zayn.
14:37Night fell.
14:38A maid brought in a dark, bitter herbal brew.
14:41I'm skip it tonight.
14:42I'm sorry, sir.
14:43Your father's strict orders.
14:44It's for your health.
14:46I sighed, pinched my nose and downed it.
14:49When I finished, she placed a small wrapped candy in my palm.
14:52Mrs. Carter left this for you, sir, to kill the bitter taste.
14:55Where is Sophie?
14:56Handling some noise outside, sir.
14:58Have a good night.
15:02The door clicked shut.
15:03Second later, the room started spinning.
15:06My vision blurred.
15:08Edges went dark.
15:09Then, nothing.
15:10When I woke up, my wrists and ankles were bound tight.
15:14Rough rope digging into my skin.
15:16A thick blindfold covered my eyes.
15:18I tested the ropes.
15:20Useless.
15:20Break?
15:22Harry.
15:23Knew it was me right away, huh, my brother?
15:26A hand ripped the blindfold off.
15:29Harsh light stabbed my eyes.
15:30My vision adjusted.
15:32Crumbling walls.
15:33Broken roof.
15:34The abandoned orphanage where my father found Harry.
15:37Miles away from anyone.
15:39Screaming would do nothing.
15:41Look at you.
15:43Not even flinching.
15:45Zane.
15:46Do you have any idea how much I despise you?
15:49Are you sick in the head?
15:51I'm not the one you should hate.
15:52Shut up!
15:53You think I care about you?
15:54You're nothing to me.
15:55You owe me!
15:56I owe you every birthday.
15:57I bought your gifts myself.
15:59Your clothes, your shoes.
16:00Everything matched mine.
16:01I gave you half of everything I had.
16:02Handouts!
16:03Charity!
16:04To make the Carters look good!
16:05You think I wanted your scraps?
16:06I never felt like anything in that house belonged to me.
16:09Except Leela.
16:10She loved me.
16:11And now she's divorcing me because of you.
16:13I'm going to end you!
16:16You think I stole her?
16:18If you hadn't lied about saving her in the woods, I'd be the one married to her right
16:22now.
16:25What?
16:26You think you still have a chance with her?
16:28I'm not giving you the chance to take her back.
16:30From the shadows, five men stepped out.
16:32They didn't say a word.
16:34Just started unscrewing heavy red jerry cans.
16:37Sloshing gasoline all over the rotting floorboards.
16:40The sharp, toxic smell filled the air.
16:42What are you doing, Harry?
16:43Isn't it obvious?
16:45I'm burning this place to the ground.
16:47With you in it.
16:49Once you're ashes, I'm the only air left.
16:54Harry!
16:55Put it down!
16:57Harry!
16:57Drop it!
16:58Let him go!
17:00Perfect!
17:01You both came.
17:03Let's see if you're willing to die for him.
17:07Burn.
17:08The gasoline ignited instantly.
17:10A massive wall of fire erupted, swallowing the room.
17:13Thick, choking smoke filled my lungs.
17:15I doubled over, packing violently.
17:18Struggling for air.
17:21Zane!
17:21I'm here!
17:23Sophie, don't!
17:24You'll die!
17:24I'm not leaving you here!
17:27Ha ha ha!
17:27Two women will be willing to burn alive for you.
17:30What a lucky guy.
17:31Ha ha ha!
17:32We'll die together then.
17:33Ha ha ha!
17:35Boss!
17:36The cops!
17:37Run!
17:38Ha ha ha!
17:41Ha ha ha!
17:41Harry Carter!
17:42You're under arrest for kidnapping!
17:44Ha ha ha!
17:45It's too late!
17:46Ha ha ha!
17:46Zane is dead!
17:47He's absolutely dead!
17:50The fire trucks arrived.
17:52Water blasted the burning ruins.
17:54Through the fading smoke, two figures emerged.
17:57Sophie, covered in soot, was holding me up.
18:00We were alive.
18:01Why?
18:02How did you survive?
18:03Wait.
18:04Where is Lila?
18:05Where is she?
18:06Sir!
18:06We found a body inside.
18:08Severe burns.
18:09No pulse.
18:10Looks like the Monroe girl.
18:11Lila Monroe.
18:12What?
18:12No!
18:13No, no, no!
18:14No, not her!
18:14You're lying!
18:15No, Lila!
18:16I'm not going anywhere!
18:18Why?
18:18Why her?
18:19It was supposed to be Zane!
18:20Why is he still alive?
18:22The words hit Harry like a bullet to the head.
18:24Where is Lila?
18:26She's gone, isn't she?
18:31Yes.
18:31Zane, hold on!
18:33We'll be out soon!
18:35When we found you, the roof started collapsing.
18:37A burning beam fell right above us.
18:39Watch out!
18:40Run!
18:40Ah!
18:41Lila!
18:42Lila threw herself over us.
18:44She took the hit.
18:44The fire caught her instantly.
18:46I tried to pull her out, but it was too late.
18:49She couldn't.
18:52Oh, Lord.
18:56You're safe, Zane.
18:57Just smoke inhalation.
18:59I know everything Harry did, he's locked up.
19:02It's over.
19:04Lila.
19:08She's gone, Zane.
19:10I'll handle the arrangements.
19:12Just rest.
19:13She's really dead.
19:15Staring at the ceiling, nothing felt real anymore.
19:18In my last life, I hated her until the day I died.
19:21In this life, she died to save me.
19:23I didn't know what to feel.
19:25A single tear slid down my face.
19:27Sophie saw it.
19:28If she's still the one you want, Zane, I won't.
19:32No.
19:34I don't love her.
19:38But why did she have to do it?
19:40Why make me carry this guilt for the rest of my life?
19:43The day of Lila's funeral.
19:44I wasn't there.
19:46I was sitting in first class on a flight out of the country.
19:49What happened between Lila and me, no one could ever explain it.
19:52I stared out the window at the endless white clouds.
19:55For a second, I thought I saw her face in them.
19:58I watched the clouds drift away and whispered to myself.
20:02If there is a next life, Lila, let's never cross paths again.
20:05I closed my eyes.
20:06Wishing it was all just a bad dream.
20:09Wishing I could go back to the very beginning.
20:11Before everything went wrong.
