00:00I thought I was marrying a broke exile with nothing to his name but debt.
00:05I paid our rent, I covered our bills.
00:08I worked 16 hour days so he could pay down what he owed.
00:11When I wanted a 200 credit exoskeleton to make my shifts easier,
00:15he told me we couldn't afford it.
00:18Then I saw the news.
00:19His first love received a custom starship for her birthday.
00:254 million credits.
00:27My husband wasn't poor.
00:30He was an imperial heir, and I was his joke.
00:34I was working in the night strip.
00:37The freight haul was done, so I sat on a cargo container scrolling through the galactic feed.
00:42Actress Serafina Novak receives Extragant birthday gift,
00:45custom Starblade warship worth 4 million credits.
00:48The photo showed a ship docked at the imperial shipboards,
00:51its hull painted with Serafina's personal crest.
00:53In the corner of the frame, a man stood at the view at his back to the camera.
00:58I knew that back.
01:00Kazian Redfield, my husband.
01:02I'd been staring at that mole behind his ear for three years.
01:06I could pick him out of a crowd folder.
01:10A few weeks ago, the freight station gave out bonuses.
01:14I'd found a second-hand exo-zeleton rig for 200 credits.
01:17He said it was too expensive, told me not to waste money.
01:21200 versus 4 million.
01:23I turned off my comm and sat on that cargo container for a long time.
01:27The station lights bleached everything white,
01:29and in the distance, frayers rumbled in and out of the docks,
01:32their engines vibrating in my chest.
01:34I thought I was marrying a broke exile with nothing to his name but debt.
01:38I'd met Kazian in an anonymous chat channel.
01:41We talked for two months before he asked to meet in person.
01:44He told me he was an imperial exiled,
01:46stripped of citizenship,
01:48drowning in syndicate debt.
01:50If he didn't pay up,
01:51they'd ship him to the border mines.
01:54He kept his head down when he talked.
01:56His voice was soft,
01:57like he was afraid of being overheard.
02:00I felt sorry for him.
02:02We never had a wedding,
02:04just registered as domestic partners at the administrative hub next to the freight station.
02:08I moved into the converted cargo container he rented in the outer settlement.
02:13I paid the rent,
02:14since his exile account was frozen by the empire.
02:17Whatever money he made,
02:19if he made any,
02:20all went to paying down his debt.
02:21I hauled cargo during my day
02:23and worked the mess hall at night.
02:2616 hour shifts.
02:27By the time I got back to that cargo container,
02:30I could barely move my fingers.
02:33Sometimes he'd wait up for me
02:35and heat me up a cup of synthetic protein drink.
02:38Thank you for not giving up on me.
02:40When I get back on my feet,
02:42I'll give you the life you deserve.
02:45His eyes were red when he said it.
02:49Back then,
02:50I thought it was worth it.
02:51He was good looking,
02:53didn't drink or smoke,
02:54and he was kind to me.
02:56So what if we were broke?
02:57We'd get through it together.
02:59Looking back,
03:00I was probably the easiest mark he ever found.
03:03There were messages in the freight station group chat,
03:05but I didn't reply.
03:06I scrolled through my conversation with Cassian instead.
03:09His last message came two hours ago.
03:11Busy night on the freight routes.
03:13I'm going to run a few more hauls.
03:14Don't wait up,
03:15get some rest.
03:16He said he worked short-hauled interstellar freight.
03:18Old ships without autopilot.
03:21The kind of work that ground you down
03:23and paid next to nothing.
03:24I didn't sleep at all that night.
03:25He never came home.
03:28The next morning,
03:29I clocked out of the freight station
03:30and headed back to the settlement.
03:31That's when I saw a familiar figure
03:33climbing out of a black hover car.
03:35I ducked behind a stack of scrap containers.
03:37Cassian stepped out of that hover car.
03:39He wasn't wearing the patched work jacket
03:41I'd bought him anymore.
03:42He had on a tailored black coat,
03:44the kind of fabric I'd only ever seen
03:45on the freight station executives.
03:46Mr. Redfield,
03:48your protein drink and nutrition bars.
03:51Mr. Redfield,
03:52when I heard that name,
03:53my nails dug into my palms.
03:58Cassian took the bag
03:59and said something I couldn't hear.
04:01That's when another hover car pulled up.
04:03I knew the man who got out,
04:05CEO of Graham Industrial Group.
04:06Our freight station handled their contracts.
04:09I'd seen him once before.
04:10All the managers lined up to shake his hand.
04:12Friend of mine worked in his mining operation.
04:14She said he was one of the most powerful men in the sector.
04:17He walked up to Cassian
04:18and inclined his head slightly.
04:20Cassian gave him a nod,
04:21barely glanced at him.
04:22My friend said her boss answered
04:24to no one in the outer sectors,
04:25but in front of Cassian,
04:26he looked like an underling.
04:29Cassian messaged me
04:29after he got back to the container.
04:31I'm home,
04:32brought you a hot drink.
04:33I've got an early freight run today,
04:34so I'm heading out.
04:35Don't forget to drink it.
04:36I stared at the word partner on my screen,
04:38then closed my eyes.
04:39Go ahead,
04:40I've got to shift anyway.
04:41I sent back a simple emoji
04:43and turned off my comm.
04:44Then I messaged my supervisor
04:45that I was taking the day off.
04:47I wasn't going to work today.
04:48I was going to follow Cassian
04:49and find out where he really went every day.
04:51There was an abandoned loading platform
04:53across from the settlement.
04:54It had a perfect view of the main entrance.
04:56At noon,
04:57Cassian finally came out.
04:58He got into the black hover car.
05:00I pulled on a respirator mask,
05:02tugged my hood low,
05:02and flagged down a cargo taxi to follow.
05:06The hover car pulled up
05:07but an upscale restaurant,
05:08the kind where a single meal
05:09cost more than a month of my salary.
05:11When Cassian got out,
05:12the doors slid open automatically,
05:14and the maitre d' hurried out to greet him.
05:16I stood in the public concourse
05:17pretending to wait for a shuttle.
05:19He went into a private booth
05:20with a group of young men.
05:21Through the gap in the door,
05:22I could see they were all
05:23in custom-tailored clothes,
05:24the kind you couldn't buy
05:25in the outer sectors.
05:27Cassian, you in those rags?
05:29That's hilarious.
05:30The heir to House Redford
05:32playing in exile.
05:33How long are you planning
05:34to keep this up?
05:35Don't tell me you've actually
05:36fallen for that loader girl.
05:37Don't be ridiculous.
05:38Just a diversion.
05:39Something to pass the time.
05:41I told her I owed a few million
05:43in syndicate debt,
05:44and she actually believed me.
05:45Never met a woman so easy to fool.
05:48The booth erupted in laughter.
05:53I thought we were partners.
05:55Turns out I was just
05:57his entertainment.
05:58Even those three years
06:00of pretending to struggle together,
06:02that was all scripted.
06:03He wasn't in exile.
06:05He wasn't in debt.
06:06His family was one
06:07of the seven imperial dynasties.
06:08They controlled
06:09half the mining sect.
06:10The voices in the booth
06:11kept going.
06:11Hey, Seraphina was thrilled
06:13about that ship you sent her.
06:14She wants to get back together.
06:15You think she'd lose it
06:16if she found out you're married?
06:17Serves her right.
06:18She's the one who dumped Cassian
06:20to chase her acting career
06:21in the core.
06:21None of you know the real reason
06:22he married that loader girl.
06:24It was to get back at Seraphina.
06:25My knees went weak.
06:27I grabbed the wall
06:28to steady myself.
06:30He didn't love me.
06:32From the very beginning,
06:33I was just a tool
06:34to hurt another woman.
06:37Seraphina Novak
06:38was his first love.
06:41Back then,
06:42his family didn't approve
06:43of her acting ambitions.
06:52So she left him.
06:57After that,
06:58Cassian decided
06:58all women were untrustworthy.
07:00He started cycling
07:01through partners like Clothes.
07:03and eventually,
07:04he got married
07:08specifically to get back
07:09at Seraphina.
07:12But he was afraid
07:13that showing his wealth
07:14would attract the wrong
07:15kind of attention.
07:16So he played poor
07:17and picked someone ordinary.
07:21I was that someone.
07:26Seraphina was the one
07:27who hurt him,
07:28not me.
07:29So why did I have to be
07:30the one whose dignity
07:31got trampled?
07:32I was about to leave
07:34when someone inside asked
07:36Mr. Redfield,
07:37what if the loader
07:38finds out?
07:39Her?
07:40She's too busy
07:41hauling cargo
07:42to pay off my debt
07:43to worry about anything else.
07:45After work,
07:46she goes to the mess hall
07:47to earn extra credits.
07:49Comes home
07:49and cooks for me.
07:51Even if she finds out
07:52it doesn't matter.
07:53She wants a divorce?
07:55She's not getting
07:56a single credit
07:56out of me.
07:57My face went white.
07:59Then Seraphina walked in.
08:00She was wearing
08:01a flowing gown,
08:01her heels clicking
08:02on the floor.
08:03Everyone in the booth
08:04started fawning over
08:05A server came by
08:06with food
08:07and the door
08:07swung open wider.
08:08I saw Seraphina
08:09sitting next to Cassian,
08:10the two of them
08:11leaning close.
08:12She touched
08:12the star-shaped brooch
08:13at her collar,
08:14the one that matched
08:14the ship.
08:15I love the gift,
08:16Kacelyan.
08:17Thank you.
08:18The corner of his mouth
08:18lifted.
08:19Glad you like it.
08:21Four million credits
08:21for his first love,
08:22a whole warship
08:23handed over
08:24without a second thought.
08:25For me,
08:26a 200-credit
08:27second-hand exoskeleton
08:28rig was too much.
08:29I turned and walked away,
08:31my pace quickening
08:31until I was almost running.
08:34outside.
08:35I crouched against a wall
08:36and buried my face
08:37in my knees.
08:38Three years.
08:41Freight station loaders
08:42get worn down,
08:43bad backs,
08:44bad knees.
08:44Every night I came back
08:45to that cargo container,
08:46my whole body ached.
08:47He said his back hurt
08:48so I gave him the rehab fee
08:49I'd saved up for.
08:50He said he wanted decent food
08:51so I brought him my meal allowances
08:52from the mess hall.
08:53So I sat there,
08:54watching him eat,
08:55while my own stomach groaned.
08:56I used the station-issued
08:58graph credit
08:58to buy him a decent coat
09:00for his freight runs.
09:01He called me resourceful.
09:04I wasn't resourceful.
09:05I was an idiot.
09:08By the time I got back
09:10to the container,
09:11it was dark.
09:14Cassata was in the kitchen corner.
09:16If you could call
09:17an induction burner
09:18and an old food synth
09:20a kitchen.
09:21Hey,
09:22dinner's almost ready.
09:24Got a good deal
09:25on synthetic protein packs today.
09:27Saved eight credits.
09:28Also,
09:29I sold the scrap parts
09:30I'd been collecting
09:30for a month.
09:31Made 60 credits.
09:33After groceries,
09:34there's five left.
09:38I closed my eyes.
09:40My chest felt tight.
09:41He really went all out
09:42for this act.
09:43Four dishes
09:44and a soup on the table
09:45before I would have run to him
09:46and called him
09:47the best partner in the world.
09:49Now,
09:49all I felt was disgust,
09:51remembering what I'd heard
09:52in that booth.
09:53I clenched my fists.
09:55He learned to cook
09:55for Serafina,
09:56but he told me
09:57he'd only started cooking
09:59after we got together.
10:00He said he grew up
10:02in the mining colonies,
10:03always hungry,
10:04always getting beaten up.
10:06I'd ached for him
10:07when he told me that.
10:09Every word was a lie.
10:11The tears came.
10:13Cassian put down his plate
10:14and hurried over,
10:16worry on his face.
10:19What happened?
10:20Who upset you?
10:21Tell me.
10:22When I get back on my feet
10:24at the freight station anymore,
10:25I'll take care of you.
10:28He kept calling me dear,
10:30his handsome face
10:31full of concern,
10:32like he actually loved me,
10:35like he was anything
10:36but a fraud.
10:39Cassian,
10:41do you love me?
10:43Of course I do.
10:44You're the most important person
10:45in my life.
10:46I looked into his eyes
10:47and remembered every word
10:48he'd said in that booth.
10:49Never met a woman
10:50so easy to fool,
10:51just a diversion,
10:52something to pass the time.
10:53Don't think I don't see
10:54what you're doing.
10:55He looked down on me,
10:56thought I was worthless.
10:58He was a liar.
11:01He reached out to hold me.
11:03I stepped back
11:05and wiped my face.
11:06When I spoke,
11:07my voice was steady.
11:09Cassian,
11:10you're a hell of an actor.
11:12What are you talking about?
11:14I pulled out my comm
11:16and showed him the screen
11:17I'd saved last night.
11:20Mr. Redfield,
11:21did you have fun yet?
11:23The smile froze
11:25on Cassian Redfield's face.
11:27Not a flicker,
11:28not a twidge.
11:29It was a mask.
11:31Perfectly composed,
11:32perfectly still.
11:33Whatever he'd felt for me,
11:35it had all been an act.
11:36This was the real him.
11:38Arrogant,
11:38cold,
11:39looking down on everything.
11:40You recognized me
11:41from a silhouette.
11:42You really are obsessed.
11:46Traitor.
11:48You don't deserve
11:49the word love.
11:50You're trash.
11:51Sign it.
11:53I pulled the separation agreement
11:54out of my bag
11:55and threw it at him.
11:56He picked it up,
11:58flipped through it.
11:59When he got to the last page,
12:00he stopped.
12:01I hadn't asked for anything.
12:03No credits,
12:04no assets,
12:05nothing.
12:07Now that you know who I am,
12:09you want nothing?
12:12Just sign.
12:14I wasn't going to waste words on him.
12:18I just wanted him gone.
12:21Serafina,
12:22stop crying.
12:23I'm on my way.
12:24Cassian,
12:24sign first.
12:25No time.
12:34The door slid shut behind him.
12:36I stood in that cramped cargo container,
12:38cold spreading through my chest.
12:40He'd lied to me for three years.
12:42Used me.
12:43Not a word of apology.
12:45I wasn't asking for a separation,
12:47and he couldn't even be bothered to look back.
12:49One call from Serafina,
12:51and he was gone.
12:51That night,
12:53I packed up all his things
12:54and left them in the settlement's public storage.
12:56I messaged him to let him know.
12:58Told him I'd be at the administrative hub
13:00at nine tomorrow
13:00to finalize the separation.
13:03Nine o'clock came.
13:04I stood outside the hub for half an hour.
13:07He didn't show.
13:09I messaged him.
13:10No reply.
13:12Called.
13:13No answer.
13:14I was about to try again
13:16when a news alert popped up on my comm.
13:18Serafina Novak
13:19had been knocked down
13:20by an overzealic fan
13:21at an event in the Corps.
13:24Cassian had spent the entire night
13:26at her bedside.
13:29The public was full of people
13:31calling them the perfect match.
13:33He didn't deny anything.
13:35And we weren't even separated yet.
13:38That evening,
13:39I came back to the settlement
13:40and found Cassian
13:41sitting outside the cargo container.
13:44He was wearing an expensive coat
13:46looking completely out of place.
13:48Get out.
13:50Don't be like this.
13:52Cancel your pass.
13:54Be at the admin hub tomorrow morning.
13:56Don't stand me up again.
13:58Come on, like you.
14:00A loader,
14:01outer sector resident.
14:02You're really gonna walk away
14:03from someone like me?
14:04He leaned forward,
14:06his eyes gleaming.
14:07I stood there,
14:08nails digging into my palms.
14:10He really believed that.
14:11He thought being with him
14:13was some kind of privilege
14:14I should be grateful for.
14:15He was wrong.
14:18If I could go back
14:20and never meet you,
14:21I would.
14:22If you don't show up tomorrow,
14:24I'm filing an administrative application
14:27to dissolve this partnership myself.
14:29He saw I wasn't joking
14:30and his face hardened.
14:32What's wrong with you?
14:34Do you have any idea
14:35how many people in the Empire
14:36would kill for a chance with me?
14:37And you're asking for a separation?
14:40He was laughing at me,
14:41but I pitied him.
14:42He had no idea what love actually was.
14:44It had nothing to do with credits or dynasties.
14:47I would rather you were really
14:48that Detrin exile
14:49than a lying heir.
14:52I cared about you,
14:54but that person was fake.
14:56A character you made up,
14:59not the real you.
15:00He didn't believe me.
15:02Don't act like you don't want this.
15:04You know how many people
15:05I could have chosen?
15:07The fact that I picked you
15:08should be grateful.
15:10Not everyone gets the chance
15:11to have me spend three years
15:13setting up something like this.
15:15You should be thanking me.
15:17That condescending look,
15:18I wanted to hit him,
15:19but I didn't.
15:20He wasn't worth it.
15:21I pointed to the door.
15:22Get out!
15:24Or I'm calling admin security.
15:27His face twisted.
15:28He stormed off.
15:29I hadn't told my mother
15:31about the separation.
15:32She'd raised me alone
15:33after my father died.
15:35It wasn't easy.
15:36I was afraid she'd take it hard.
15:38She was waiting outside
15:39the settlement the next morning,
15:41right before I left for work.
15:43I never expected
15:44Serafina Novak
15:45to show up at my door.
15:46Her eyes traveled over me,
15:48top to bottom,
15:49like I was something
15:50she'd scraped off her shoe.
15:53So you're the one.
15:55Odell Reynolds.
15:58You smell like the outer sects.
16:01She was wearing custom everything.
16:03I was in my work gear.
16:04Her superiority was practically
16:05dripping off her.
16:07Name your price.
16:08How much to dissolve
16:10the partnership?
16:11I didn't know what Cassian
16:12had told her,
16:13but it wasn't my job to explain.
16:16I tried to walk away.
16:17She grabbed my arm.
16:19I don't care what kind of scheme
16:21you ran to get Cassian
16:22to register with you.
16:23He's mine.
16:25Keep dragging this out
16:26and you'll regret it.
16:27Whatever state my partnership
16:28with Cassian was in,
16:29legally,
16:30he was still my partner.
16:31She had no right.
16:32That's my business.
16:33She spat venom.
16:34Did your mother not teach you
16:35not to take what belongs
16:36to other people?
16:37I'm warning you.
16:39Dissolve it.
16:40Now.
16:42I slapped her.
16:43She could say whatever
16:44she wanted about me.
16:45Not about my mother.
16:46She clutched her cheek.
16:47For a second,
16:48fury flashed in her eyes.
16:50Then it shifted.
16:51Tears welled up.
16:52The perfect picture
16:53of wounded innocence.
16:54I'm sorry, Miss Reynolds.
16:56I didn't mean to upset you.
16:58That's when I realized
16:59she and Cassian
17:00were perfect for each other.
17:01Odete!
17:02What the hell is wrong with you?
17:04I turned.
17:05Cassian was striding toward us,
17:07face red with anger.
17:08So I slapped him too.
17:13If he hadn't lied to me
17:14for three years
17:15and refused to sign
17:16the separation papers,
17:17none of this would be happening.
17:20He froze.
17:21Golden Boy had clearly
17:22never been slapped before.
17:23Odete!
17:24I smiled.
17:25You asked what I was doing.
17:27That's what.
17:28Watching Cassian Redfield's
17:29face twist with fury,
17:30the pressure that had been
17:31building in the chest
17:32for days
17:32finally eased a little.
17:33He spat at me.
17:34You're insane.
17:35Good.
17:35Men like him
17:36didn't deserve kindness.
17:37Serafina Novak
17:38immediately wrapped herself
17:39around his arm,
17:40pouting.
17:40Cassian,
17:41don't be angry.
17:42She must just care about you
17:43too much to let go.
17:44She even called me
17:45a homewrecker.
17:49Cassian shot me a look.
17:52The one who isn't loved
17:53is the real homewrecker.
17:55I didn't even blink
17:55because I didn't care
17:56about him anymore.
17:57His words couldn't touch me.
17:58But that slap
17:59finally got him
18:00to agree to the separation.
18:01If I'd known violence
18:02was the answer
18:03I would have done it
18:04years ago.
18:04The day I got
18:05the dissolution papers
18:06I felt like I could
18:07breathe again.
18:08A failed partnership
18:09wasn't the end.
18:10What mattered
18:10was cutting your losses.
18:16Cassian transferred me
18:17a hundred thousand credits.
18:18He called it compensation.
18:20I laughed until I cried
18:21when I saw the amount.
18:22Three years.
18:23That was what I was worth to him.
18:25I didn't take it.
18:26Sent it back.
18:28You have to keep
18:28some dignity.
18:31I threw myself into work
18:32saving up for a habitat
18:33of my own
18:34somewhere I could
18:35bring my mother.
18:41One morning
18:41a co-worker sidled up
18:42to me with gossip.
18:48Serafina had been exposed.
18:50She was a mining magnate's
18:51mistress.
18:52That was where all
18:52her resources came from.
18:53Her wealthy boyfriend
18:54had dumped her in a fury
18:55when he found out.
18:57I hadn't been following
18:58Cassian or Serafina's news.
19:00I figured they were
19:01together by now.
19:02The story was just
19:03idle chatter.
19:04None of my business.
19:05After work I saw a man
19:06leaning against a hover car.
19:07Odite, let me give you a ride.
19:12I ignored him, face cold.
19:14Where did he get off
19:15showing up after
19:16months of silence?
19:18Serafina was done with him
19:19so he remembered I existed.
19:22I wasn't anyone's backup.
19:25I started to walk away.
19:26He blocked my path.
19:29Still mad at me?
19:31I met his eyes.
19:33We're done.
19:35There's nothing to talk about.
19:37He turned on the lovesick act,
19:39the same one he'd used before.
19:42I was wrong.
19:44I'm sorry, Odell.
19:46After everything,
19:47I finally realized
19:47you're the one who actually
19:48cared about me.
19:49Let's register again.
19:51I watched him perform.
19:53All I felt was disgust.
19:54He thought I'd come running back
19:56the second he crooked his face.
19:58Come back with me.
19:59You'll live in my sector.
20:01I'll put your name on the deed.
20:03Monthly allowance.
20:04You won't have to haul cargo anymore.
20:06I stared at him,
20:07still thinking credits
20:08could buy anything.
20:09He mistook my silence
20:10for hesitation,
20:11pressed harder.
20:12Think about it, Odell.
20:14This is your shot.
20:16Or you can rot in the
20:17outer sectors hauling scrap.
20:19He knew I'd always wanted
20:21to bring my mother
20:21out of the settlement.
20:23You're pathetic.
20:24The second I found out
20:26you were lying,
20:27I stopped caring about you.
20:28Get out of my way.
20:31I thought Cassian
20:32would finally disappear
20:33after that.
20:34He didn't.
20:35He showed up outside
20:36the freight station
20:37every day after my shift.
20:40Sent things to my workstation,
20:41nutrition packs,
20:42protein supplements,
20:44even expensive
20:44core sector imports.
20:47My co-workers asked
20:48who was trying so hard
20:49to get my attention.
20:51I smiled and handed
20:52the stuff out
20:53to anyone who wanted it.
20:54A dead man.
20:56He started showing up
20:58at my settlement with gifts.
20:59I recognized
20:59the luxury packaging.
21:03I threw the whole box
21:04and the recycler
21:05in front of him.
21:06He looked pained.
21:08After that,
21:08the gifts stopped.
21:12Not long after,
21:13the freight station
21:14announced layoffs.
21:15I was on the list.
21:16I decided to move back
21:17to my home settlement.
21:20Get away from Cassian
21:22for good.
21:22My mother didn't blame me
21:24when I told her
21:24about the separation.
21:25It's fate.
21:27He was never right for me.
21:29leaving was the right choice.
21:31She worried I might be depressed,
21:33cooked all my favorite meals.
21:35I gained five kilos in a week.
21:39I started looking for work
21:40and landed a position
21:41at a mining equipment design firm.
21:43I'd studied design in school
21:44but had never pursued it.
21:45I took the freight station
21:46job for stability.
21:49My new supervisor turned out
21:50to be my old classmate,
21:51Vincent Cross.
21:56He was the same as I remember.
21:58Quiet, steady,
21:59he put me in charge
21:59of a small mining operation
22:01overhaul.
22:01It kept me busy
22:02but I liked the challenge.
22:05We got closer over time.
22:07Dinner after work sometimes.
22:09He never acted like my boss.
22:11Conversation was easy.
22:13My peace might have lasted
22:15if Cassian hadn't shown up again.
22:17This is why you turned me down?
22:19Then he sneered at Vincent.
22:22This is your competition?
22:23A small-time
22:24outer sector operator?
22:26He's not fit to clean my chutes.
22:28Fury burned through me.
22:30Don't talk about him like that.
22:32He's a thousand times
22:33the man you'll ever be.
22:34You're selfish.
22:35You're cruel.
22:37The only thing you have
22:38is credits.
22:39Cassian's face contorted.
22:41This is your last chance, Odile.
22:43Are you coming back or not?
22:45Even when he was begging
22:46for reconciliation,
22:47he acted like he was
22:48doing me a favor.
22:49Listen carefully.
22:51I will never take you back.
22:54He sneered.
22:57Don't pretend you weren't
22:58waiting for me.
22:59Who else would want
23:00someone like you?
23:01I had you for three years.
23:04Vincent's fist
23:04got out of his face
23:05before he could finish.
23:08You're trash.
23:09Cassian's lips split.
23:10He stared, stunned.
23:12You hit me.
23:12Vincent didn't answer.
23:14Just hit him again.
23:16Cassian had never been
23:16in a real fight in his life.
23:18Vincent had him pinned
23:18in seconds.
23:19Then I stomped on his hand.
23:21He howled.
23:22I dragged Vincent away.
23:23I pulled Vincent off
23:24before Cassian
23:25decided to retaliate later.
23:26I'm sorry.
23:28Let me get you
23:29something for that.
23:29It's fine.
23:30A couple days
23:31and it'll heal.
23:32I didn't say anything.
23:33Stared at the ground.
23:35If he bothers you again,
23:36tell me.
23:37I'll hit him again.
23:38It's not like
23:39he can get back.
23:39I laughed.
23:40Vincent grinned too.
23:41But Cassian still wouldn't quit.
23:43He showed up
23:44at my settlement.
23:46My mother chased him
23:47off with a clean drone.
23:50Then he started
23:51his old routine.
23:52Crouched outside my door,
23:53vowing to stay
23:54until I forgave him.
23:55I knew him too well.
23:56He didn't mean anything.
23:57I threw a bucket
23:58of water over him.
24:00Cassian Redfield
24:01went from smug
24:02to soaking in
24:02half a second.
24:03He stormed off,
24:04cursing.
24:08I thought I could
24:09finally breathe.
24:10Then my mother collapsed.
24:12The med station ran tests.
24:14Organ failure.
24:15She needed a transplant.
24:17The facilities
24:17in the outer sectors
24:18weren't enough.
24:19She'd have to go to the core.
24:20The cost was
24:21500,000 credits.
24:23I didn't have
24:23that kind of money.
24:25But without it,
24:26what happened to her?
24:27I stood in the med station
24:29corridor
24:29not knowing what to do.
24:32When I looked up,
24:33Cassian was standing there.
24:39I'll give you the credits.
24:41On one condition,
24:42you come back to me.
24:44I clenched my fists,
24:46said nothing.
24:47You want to save
24:48your mother or not?
24:49Despair flooded through me.
24:50I didn't want to give in,
24:51but she was all I had.
24:53I opened my mouth
24:54to answer.
24:55I turned.
24:56Vincent Cross
24:57was striding toward me.
24:59Don't.
25:00I'll cover it.
25:02Cassian's face went dark.
25:05You again.
25:07Vincent pushed him aside
25:08and took my arm.
25:09Come on.
25:10Let's go pay.
25:11That was it.
25:12He covered the whole cost.
25:13I could barely speak.
25:15I'll pay you back.
25:16Every credit?
25:17He smiled.
25:18That's not what matters.
25:20Your mother's health
25:21comes first.
25:22Cassian was furious
25:23that I'd gotten the credits
25:24without coming back to him.
25:25He started sabotaging
25:27our projects,
25:28cutting off contracts,
25:29snapping supply chains
25:30with House Redfield's resources.
25:32Crushing a small firm
25:33was easy.
25:33I knew what he was doing.
25:35He wanted me to come begging.
25:36I wasn't going to give him
25:37the satisfaction,
25:38but I felt guilty
25:39for dragging Vincent into it.
25:41He's targeting me.
25:43Maybe I should leave.
25:45If I go,
25:46the firm will be safe.
25:47It's fine.
25:48I started this firm for you.
25:50If it closes,
25:51it closes.
25:51What do you mean?
25:54He hesitated.
25:55Then he told me everything.
25:58He'd liked me
25:59since we were in school together.
26:00Never had the nerve
26:01to say anything.
26:02Then he heard
26:03I'd registered with someone
26:04and he decided to stay away,
26:05unless I was unhappy.
26:06When he found out
26:07I'd left Cassian,
26:08he decided to take his shot.
26:09He knew I liked design,
26:11so he started the firm,
26:12made sure I got the interview.
26:14He hadn't planned to tell me.
26:15He didn't want me
26:16to feel obligated.
26:17He rubbed the back of his neck.
26:19My feelings are my business.
26:21You don't owe me anything.
26:24He paused.
26:28We'll figure out the firm.
26:29Don't worry.
26:30He turned to leave.
26:31I caught his arm.
26:33Vincent,
26:34let's fight for the firm.
26:36As for us,
26:38just give me a little time,
26:40okay?
26:41He met my eyes and nodded.
26:44It wasn't just about the firm.
26:45It was about building something new.
26:49But reality was brutal.
26:51Cassian was squeezing us
26:52from every angle.
26:58When I was about to give up,
26:59a core sector mining equipment
27:01conglomerate found my designs
27:02and reached out for collaboration.
27:06I took it.
27:07Luck had a way of finding people
27:08who worked hard.
27:13Cassian's reach didn't extend everywhere
27:15and he had his own problems.
27:17His father was ousted
27:18in a family power struggle.
27:29Vincent's sincerity won me over.
27:31I agreed to be with him.
27:32Our firm grew.
27:33My designs won awards.
27:35I opened my own small studio.
27:36I finally bought a habitat of my own.
27:38Brought my mother to live with me.
27:40Three years later,
27:42Vincent and I formed a new company together.
27:43That same day,
27:44he asked me to be with him for good.
27:47Odette,
27:49will you share a life with me?
27:54Yes.
27:56The object in his hand,
27:58I recognized it.
27:59A small mining equipment model
28:01he'd designed himself.
28:02The casing was engraved
28:03with a star chart.
28:04He'd spent months on it.
28:06Someone who actually cared about you
28:07didn't half-ass it.
28:08Vincent was never one
28:10for grand declarations.
28:11He showed how he felt
28:12through actions with him.
28:13I felt safe.
28:15Later,
28:15I met up with some old co-workers
28:17from the freight station.
28:18They told me what had happened to Cassian.
28:20Turns out,
28:21he wasn't a Redfield by blood.
28:22He'd been switched at birth
28:23at the Imperial Medical Center.
28:25His biological mother
28:26was a domestic worker
28:27in the Redfield household.
28:29When the truth came out,
28:31House Redfield disowned both of them.
28:33Cassian went from Imperial air
28:34to a man without a house.
28:35He took a job in the mining colonies,
28:37hauling freight.
28:38This time,
28:39he really was broke.
