00:02a woman like you isn't even worthy to carry my shoes
00:05i was wrong elena give me another chance elena the day we were supposed to legally register
00:16our marriage ryan mitchell had me thrown out of the building he walked in with her instead
00:22his childhood sweetheart vanessa reed vanessa's baby needs to be on the birth certificate i have
00:27to marry her first give me a month to finalize the divorce then i'll come back for you everyone
00:33assumed i'd wait that i'd swallow it and hold on after all i'd already given him seven years
00:39but that same night i got on a plane my family had arranged a match overseas i'd been fighting
00:45it for months i stopped fighting i disappeared from ryan's world completely three years later
00:51i came back my husband had business to handle and his local office sent someone to meet me at jfk
00:57i didn't expect that someone to be ryan he stood in the arrivals hall with vanessa and a group of
01:02his friends holding up a sign with my english name he spotted me and didn't even flinch
01:09took you long enough leo starts preschool soon you can handle the drop-offs
01:15same arrogant ryan same assumption that i'd fall back into place i said nothing
01:22he hadn't recognized me yet the sign he was holding had my english name helena but none of
01:27them connected it to me one of ryan's friends laughed elena you actually came back by yourself
01:33like that i was wearing very ordinary clothes no makeup my husband didn't let me wear any during
01:39the pregnancy he said comfort came first and had everything custom made for me himself these people
01:45only knew the version of me who used to dress up just to see ryan full glam designer everything
01:50desperate to impress that situation is absolutely impossible to happen again then he added sarcastically
01:57can't even afford a real outfit without ryan you really hit rock bottom
02:03i stayed quiet someone who used to be vaguely kind shifted uncomfortably elena it's good you're back
02:10ryan's been looking for you he asked around for months vanessa's kid is starting preschool you'll
02:17handle pickups that's why i'm asking about you don't blame him elena he's doing you a favor you've
02:22been gone three years who knows what you've been up to you can't manage my assistant position clearly
02:28but child care that you can handle no one's going to judge you for it you're broke and too proud
02:34about it take the position meals covered private guest suite included it's more than you've got
02:40now his friends laughed i looked at them for a long time then i said shall we go you're here
02:47to
02:47pick me up aren't you the scene fell silent for a moment they exchanged glasses then the laughter came
02:54hard vanessa's lip curled pick you up are you serious we're waiting for lena do you even know who
03:02that is i knew exactly who that was alana is sebastian knight's wife the mrs knight his official
03:09legal completely adored wife in manhattan's elite circles everyone knows if you want sebastian's
03:14attention you go through her first she's his entire world three years of marriage sebastian's empire had
03:20doubled in size meanwhile his meticulous care for me and his deep love for me were already known to
03:26many people he dropped 20 million dollars u.s at a christie's auction for a diamond bracelet for her
03:33she paused eyes drifting to my wrist her voice went sharp like that one she suddenly stopped
03:41ryan grabbed my wrist before i could move it's a knockoff a decent one but still he probably got it
03:47from a street vendor in chinatown what kind of broke loser buys his girl a fake he grabbed the bracelet
03:52and yanked it off my wrist the stones aren't bad better than the replica i picked up unless wait
03:59don't tell me you're actually helena you're not seriously claiming to be mrs knight
04:04they all suddenly burst into laughter because of course it was absurd sebastian knight was a financial
04:11genius ruthless global untouchable and three years ago i was just the girl ryan had tossed out of a
04:17government office like yesterday's trash vanessa dangled the bracelet off one finger i'll buy it off
04:23you double whatever you paid for the fake give it back sebastian gave me that ryan slapped me hard
04:29across the face my head jerked to the side i tasted blood shut up then i slapped him back ryan's
04:38jaw
04:38tightened elena sebastian knight's name is not something you throw around do you understand what you're doing
04:45to me right now we fought hard to get this assignment ryan's company was acquired by night
04:50industries last year we all answer to sebastian now if you blow this for us you'll destroy everything
04:58ryan's built i wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth i turned slowly and met ryan's eyes
05:04whatever he saw in mine made him falter just for a second vanessa noticed ryan's change in mood
05:11her expression twisted you ungrateful nobody ryan just offered you a lifeline and you're standing
05:18here making up stories about sebastian knight you can't stand that he moved on that he's thriving
05:23it was like being transported back three years vanessa twisting everything ryan little by little
05:29choosing to believe her version over mine ryan looked at me with that old familiar disappointment
05:38pathetic for old time's sake
05:43go buy yourself some real clothes if you don't want the child care position i'll find you something else
05:47something decent knight's acquisition has been good to me this is nothing the charity in his eyes made my
05:53stomach turn i pushed his hand aside reached over and lifted the diamond bracelet back from vanessa's
05:59fingers no thank you mr mitchell i don't take things from strangers i turned and walked away
06:05two steps later ryan caught my arm strangers we broke up that's what i am to you now this is
06:16a more
06:16appropriate way to address someone i was already thinking about sebastian he had a jealous streak a mile
06:21wide ryan glanced at vanessa there's a gala in three days knight industries is hosting come with me
06:28let me show you what you've been missing you'll need to dress properly i can have someone take you
06:33shopping i don't need these but thank you his expression darkened the check stiffened in his
06:39hand i could hear him angrily clenching his teeth you've gotten proud funny how that works when you've
06:44got nothing then he turned shoved the check back into his pocket fine let's go to the banquet then
06:52vanessa's whole face lit up i won't embarrass you baby i promise
06:57i was already walking toward the exit i left them with one line over my shoulder i hope you're still
07:02that confident in three days three days later i appeared at the banquet dressed casually ryan
07:08spotted me the second i walked in you still couldn't resist coming over but elena this is a night
07:13institution's event you can't show up here in your pajamas there's a standard i walked past him
07:18he grabbed my arm
07:23i'm talking to you our location is over here that's your location mine is over there he followed my
07:30gaze to the front of the ballroom the head table his face went white before he could recover vanessa's
07:37voice sliced through the room how did she even get in here and why is she wearing that bracelet
07:41tonight is sebastian knight's first public appearance with his wife is she trying to
07:45humiliate mrs knight someone remove her the room buzzed ryan straightened his tuxedo jacket
07:52she's no one not with me vanessa drew herself up and looked at me like i was something she'd
07:58scraped off her lube take the bracelet off and get out i tilted my head you sure you want me
08:04to leave
08:06she lunged i went down hard on the marble floor vanessa drove the pointed heel of her stiletto onto
08:12my hand pinning it flat and ripped the diamond bracelet from my wrist the platinum clasp snapped
08:18clean stones scattered across the ballroom floor like shattered ice i lay there staring at the ruined
08:24bracelet vanessa ordered smoothing her gown throw her out people moved toward me i quickly explained
08:32stop i'm sebastian's say it again come on just say you're his wife i bet you won't dare say it
08:40again
08:40i pressed my bleeding hand to the cold marble and looked up at her then i stood up and slapped
08:46her
08:46i had come back to new york with no intention of making a scene but now i've changed my mind
08:52ryan
08:52walked up to me reaching for my injured hand are you done you showed up here flashing that bracelet
08:58dress like that what did you think was going to happen if you just admit you still want me i'll
09:03let
09:03this go just say it i laughed once short and sharp ryan you're finished he opened his mouth
09:12the doors at the far end of the ballroom swung open sebastian walked in and right beside him holding
09:18his hand with a death grip was leo the moment leo's eyes found me across the room his face crumpled
09:23he broke away from sebastian and sprinted across the marble floor dodging weight staff and startled
09:28guests until he ran into my arms and wrapped his arms around my waist what happened who did this to
09:34you he pulled back and stared at my hand his eyes went glassy why is there so much blood one
09:40word from
09:40a child the entire ballroom shifted every head turned every assumption crumbled in real time i pulled
09:46leo close and cupped his face in my good hand i'm okay baby mom's okay he shook his head hard
09:51lower lip
09:51trembling tell me who did it behind him i felt sebastian before i saw him the air in the room
09:58changed
09:58compressed tightened guests parted without being asked his eyes moved over the damage slowly then his jaw
10:05locked elena talk to me i'm fine you suffered such a serious injury who did this
10:19who did this sebastian didn't raise his voice he didn't have to
10:24i want to know everything that happened tonight addressing the room like he owned it
10:27he did own it he owned the building anyone who'd like to speak voluntarily now is the time
10:35because what i find out on my own tends to end careers ryan was the first to crack he stepped
10:40forward straightened his suit jacket sebastian this is a misunderstanding elena and i go way back
10:47i was her fiancee actually i was just trying to reconnect sebastian's champagne flute shattered in
10:52his grip crystal rained onto the ballroom floor everyone flinched ryan kept going riding some
10:58wave of ego that hadn't crashed yet she obviously still has feelings for me seven years is a long
11:03time i'm sure she told you about us sebastian looked down at his bleeding hand i'd already pulled
11:08a cocktail napkin from a passing tray and was pressing it firmly against his palm something in
11:13his expression cracked open for just a second seven years that's right so you understand whatever she
11:23told you she loved me deeply i think part of her still she told me everything ryan blinked she told
11:30me about the registration office about standing outside while you walked in with someone else
11:35she told me about waiting seven years for a man who handed her a check and called it kindness
11:40the room was a held breath so when you say she loved you what you mean is she loved the
11:46person
11:47she believed you were before you showed her exactly who you are leo tugged my sleeve that's really mad
11:55i know baby good the sebastian team doctor appeared standing beside me with a full set of medical supplies
12:03the moment the antiseptic touched my hand i hissed through my teeth sebastian and leo both turned with
12:08expressions that could have ended the poor man's entire career on the spot i'm fine he was very
12:12careful the medic visibly sweating completed the examination and stood to address sebastian mrs knight
12:18is stable no fractures the lacerations are superficial the baby is fine as well i'd recommend rest tonight
12:25and i'll source the best treatment to minimize scarring
12:30across the room ryan had gone pale vanessa had lost her composure entirely she'd spent three years as
12:35the woman ryan chose but the woman he'd thrown away was standing in sebastian knight's ballroom
12:40carrying his second child vanessa's friend some woman named jamie who'd arrived late and missed the
12:46entire unravel is this seriously happening did she hire actors look you're obviously successful but if
12:52you ever want an upgrade sebastian looked at the woman with a cold expression jamie was escorted out
12:57before she finished the sentence vanessa spun away like she'd never met the woman in her life
13:02ryan's face turned very ugly leo watched all of it with his arms crossed and his chin raised
13:07looking so much like his father it made my chest ache mom can i say something now
13:13not yet sweetheart he looked up at sebastian dad
13:18soon leo nodded solemn as a general approving a battle plan i looked at the two of them my son
13:23standing
13:24with his arms crossed next to my husband and they were looking at me with eyes full of heartache and
13:28then i felt a sharp pain followed by a stinging sensation hey don't cry either of you i'm not
13:37crying your eyes are red but you still say you haven't cried how is that possible dad your eyes are
13:45really red ryan hadn't moved he stood in the center of the ballroom watching sebastian's security team
13:50work the room with quiet efficiency then he made his final mistake elena i know you're angry but think
13:58about what you're doing you married this man on impulse everyone knows it you were hurt you were
14:02emotional and you made a rash decision i'm not holding it against you i'm willing to start over
14:07completely clean slate the ballroom went so quiet i could hear the chandeliers hum i've separated from
14:12vanessa officially it's done leo could have a real family a proper one and baby and the baby leo has
14:22a real
14:23family you did this to get back at me i understand that i do but you can't tell me seven
14:30years meant
14:31nothing you can't stand there and tell me you don't feel anything i looked at him for a long moment
14:40you're right
14:42i have no feelings for you right now that's exactly what i'm telling you
14:48leo uncrossed his arms this long enough to slow clap twice sebastian put a hand on his shoulder
14:54not yet you said it would end soon i said soon not now leo crossed his arms again deeply dissatisfied
15:02you think this is funny you think he actually loves you you're a transaction to him elena that's all any
15:08of
15:09this is a business arrangement dressed up in diamonds he bought you that's not love that's ownership
15:14sebastian walked toward him not fast not threatening in any obvious way he just walked toward him and
15:21ryan took three involuntary steps back before he realized he was doing it my wife is not a topic
15:27i discuss with strangers what happened next traveled through manhattan's elite circles by morning ryan's
15:34company already operating under night industries umbrella was restructured overnight his division
15:39dissolved his access codes revoked before he made it to the parking garage vanessa had swallowed enough of
15:44those scattered diamonds under duress to require a very uncomfortable evening at the air her
15:49modeling contracts three of them all with brands that fell under night industries investment portfolio
15:53were terminated by monday the guests who had watched me get knocked to the floor and said nothing
15:58each found over the following week that their overseas market access had quietly evaporated sebastian
16:04didn't make speeches about it he didn't need to my best friend claire filled me in from the hospital
16:08chair beside your husband is genuinely terrifying he's protective elena he kicked a woman out of the
16:17banquet simply because she said something she said the wrong thing she was being stupid there's a
16:22difference although actually no same thing in that room also your son stabbed vanessa's hand with a
16:28dessert fork a dessert fork he stabbed her hand directly calmly like he was making a point
16:37he's six elena he's seven that makes it worse
16:44don't laugh it's not funny i'm not laughing that's not laughing you're absolutely laughing
16:52i was absolutely laughing claire watched me with fond exasperation then her expression shifted ryan
16:58got away by the way during the chaos vanessa apparently cut some kind of deal stalled the
17:03security team long enough for him to slip out sebastian and leo were looking for him ryan had
17:09promised her something about her son and that was enough to make her throw herself in front of
17:12sebastian's security team for all her ugliness she was still a mother i stared at the ceiling for a long
17:18moment claire make sure no one touches that child whatever sebastian has planned for ryan the boy stays
17:25out of it i'll tell him they kept me in the hospital one more night sebastian and leo refused to
17:33leave
17:33the hospital's private suite had a sitting area and by 10 o'clock leo had commandeered the pullout sofa
17:39he was asleep within minutes one arm dangling off the edge sebastian sat in the chair beside my bed
17:45and didn't move i watched him in the low light the cut on his hand had been properly dressed he
17:50was
17:50wearing a shirt with the collar open revealing his well-defined muscles you should sleep okay in a bit
18:01you've been staring at the wall for a long time what are you thinking about
18:07i'm wondering if i arrived in time to protect you
18:11sebastian i'm sorry you were on that floor you were bleeding and i wasn't there
18:17you were there when it mattered it mattered the moment you walked into that building i should have
18:22come with you i should never have let the office send someone else you can't be next to me every
18:26second i'm aware of that i don't like it but i'm aware of it he looked at our joined hands
18:33for a long
18:34moment then very quietly am i elena say it am i really good enough for you
18:44you have been enough since before i knew what enough looked like i found the photos
18:51behind the frame he went very still the ones from college and high school squeezed his hand used to eat
18:58lunch alone elena i put money in your bag i thought you couldn't afford the cafeteria a long silence
19:05i know you knew i kept it he looked almost embarrassed i never spent it i stared at him this
19:11man this impossible terrifying soft-hearted man sebastian knight you are the biggest secret romantic
19:18i have ever met in my life he said nothing but in the low light of the hospital room the
19:22tips of his ears
19:23went red
