01:33escort of my bodyguards the wedding was scheduled to take place at saint patrick's cathedral in the
01:37eastern part of the city julian stood on the steps in a mocha colored suit a smug smile on his
01:42face
01:42as if everything were under his control he'd called me this morning i'd fuck that woman all
01:47night seven times i need to catch up on sleep to have enough energy for the wedding so i can't

02:25ethan gave him a thumbs up he was just so sure i'd show up the car door opened and i
02:30stepped out
02:30sunlight fell on the wedding dress refracting into a shower of delicate sparkles a flicker of
02:35admiration flashed in julian's eyes you looks absolutely stunning in a wedding dress he offered
02:41a sincere compliment but before he could touch my hand his attention was drawn away by his vibrating
02:46phone glancing at the contact name on the screen the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily
02:51he took a couple of steps back to answer it darling i'm flying abroad this afternoon so i booked our
03:00marriage registration for 10 minutes from now can you swing by the registry office i want to get the
03:05certificate before i leave 10 minutes in such a hurry are you sure who was that

04:45jul are you really leaving
04:46you guys hold the fort for now it's not like i'm not coming back
04:51that little bird is too hard to handle
04:53don't want to make things difficult for myself
04:58i stood where i was the hem of my wedding dress billowing in the wind
05:02the photographer beside me held his camera standing there awkwardly
05:06no one spoke
05:07i looked down at the empty ring finger on my left hand and slowly curved my lips into a smile
05:14julian mercer go ahead go get your marriage certificate
05:18as for this multi-million dollar wedding of the century
05:20i'll gladly take it
05:22i lifted the hem of my dress and walked into the church
05:25the guests were seated the officiant was in place and the wedding march was playing
05:29everything was perfect except the groom wasn't there
05:32ethan caught up to me forcing a smile
05:36viv julie has an urgent mat to attend to he'll be back in a flash
05:39you just sit tight for a bit
05:41with a few words back and forth
05:43he spun the groom has run off situation into something as simple as popping out to pick up a package
05:47i glanced at the clock directly in front of the church
05:5010 40 am
05:51okay i'll wait for him
05:53ethan visibly let out a sigh of relief and immediately called for someone to bring me tea and water
05:58i'll wait
05:59but who i'm waiting for that's none of your business
06:07i looked around my gaze lingering on every detail
06:09the cascade of white roses by the floor to ceiling windows
06:12the crystal bead curtains hanging from the dome
06:15julian mercer is the kind of person who takes everything to the extreme
06:18it was like that when he was pursuing me and it's the same with this wedding
06:22yet even his cheating is carried out with the same extreme dedication
06:25there's no room for compromise
06:27no room for explanation
06:29and for me
06:30acceptance is the only option
06:32all because i did love him
06:33and because of him i almost severed ties with my parents
06:36in the past
06:37i always turned a blind eye to his fickleness
06:39sitting by the widow at night
06:40deceiving myself that he would still come back to me
06:43he would always say
06:44whatever happened it was all just an act for work
06:47on the other hand
06:48you know i'll never betray you
06:50you are my only true love
06:51he was a liar
06:53now he didn't even care to pretend
06:55in the dressing room
06:56my best friend sloan
06:57who had come all the way from marseilles
06:59just to be my maid of honor
07:00can you believe it
07:01mercer this son of bitch
07:03has he completely lost the moat
07:06did he bang his head or what
07:08i thought he was just talking
07:10even if he was serious
07:12did it have to be on this day
07:14i didn't say anything
07:15just kept scrolling through my phone
07:17on my instagram
07:18chloe had just posted a new story
07:22someone said they'd only stay for 10 minutes
07:25but she just couldn't bring himself to leave
07:27chloe who are you trying to drive crazy

07:36what kind of person is he
07:38you rushed back from france
07:40right after graduation just for him
07:42do you have any idea
07:43how angry your parents were back then
07:46back then julian mercer wasn't worth a damn
07:48yet you dared to bet 10 years
07:50with your parents
07:51now you've lost everything
07:53if it weren't for you working day and night
07:55all these years drawing up proposals securing investments and secretly using your status as the ship magnet's daughter to get
08:01his project off the ground would he have achieved anything today and now he's gone and started getting cozy with
08:06the investor's daughter i really didn't see it coming he's such a phony pretending until the night before the wedding
08:12when you finally found out he checked into a hotel with someone else viv honey don't wait any longer it's
08:17time you lived for yourself annie thank you for coming today
09:13i didn't look at him or say a word
09:15to be honest
09:46how could i had to be honest
09:47how could i possibly have just one woman
09:50but my heart belongs to you
09:52no one but you can take the seat of mrs mercer
09:55he kept up the act until the day before the wedding
10:17they thought i was just going through the motions at the wedding
10:20they thought i'd walk down the aisle alone in my wedding dress
10:23stand before the priest
10:24and wait for a groom who might never show up
10:26then i'd smile and say
10:28i do
10:28facing the empty groom's seat
10:30that was the script julian had written for me
10:32the groomsmen stood on either side of me
10:35their faces still wearing those everything's under control smiles
10:38the church door slowly swung open
10:42and a figure stood in the backlight
10:44then everyone's smiles froze
10:46a burst of dazzling flashes of light appeared
10:48and almost all the well-known media outlets swarmed in like a tide
10:56suddenly bright red rose petals rained down from the dome
10:59landing on the young man in the center of the cathedral
11:01who exuded an indescribable air of nobility
11:03his velvet suit shimmered under the flashing lights
11:06and his golden curls cascaded down his ivory park profile like grapevines
11:10making him as handsome as apollo the god of light
11:14are you really leaving?
11:16you promised to spend the day with me
11:18i only agreed to postpone the marriage registration because of you
11:21and now you're leaving?
11:24i have to go
11:27she only gave me three minutes
11:28if i don't get there soon you know how she gets
11:30what does she get?
11:32isn't she the most sensible one?
11:35she may be sensible but today is different
11:38it's the wedding of the century
11:40i promised her
11:42then why did you come here?
11:44you insisted
11:47be good
11:48wait for me to come back tonight
11:57julian gave a non-committal reply and picked up his phone from the nightstand
12:01the screen lit up and whatsapp messages flooded in
12:04they were all mentions from the guys group chat
12:06with voice messages coming one after another
12:08the last one was a video sent by ethan
12:11he frowned and tapped it open
12:12his eyes widened suddenly
12:18what's wrong?
12:19and was startled by the look on his face
12:21julian's hand holding the phone trembled slightly
12:23in the video a woman wore a wedding dress and smiled
12:26the scene shifted to a man with a groom's corsage pinned to his chest
12:29the scene was so harmonious it looked like their own wedding
12:32but it was he who had chosen the wedding dress
12:34ordered the white roses
12:36and planned the wedding
12:37how could this be?
12:38viviane had been by his side for 10 years
12:41what man wouldn't care?
12:42not to mention that this man was louis de villiers
12:45viviane's greatest nemesis
12:46from the very first day of starting their business
12:48he had inexplicably targeted her at every turn
12:51eager to trample her into the mud
12:53louis de villiers was the eldest grandson of the villiers family
12:56the most renowned old money in europe
12:58the family's business empire spanned real estate
13:00shipping and media
13:02even at the height of the mercer family's power
13:04they had to show him respect
13:05would such a golden boy ever set his sights on viviane?
13:08it wasn't that he looked down on viviane
13:10it was simply that monsieur de villiers' social circle
13:12had always consisted of well-bred young ladies
13:14from distinguished families
13:15viviane may be capable and beautiful
13:17but her background is ordinary
13:19her father was nothing more than a small-time businessman in macau
13:22there was no way louis de villiers would lower himself
13:25to marry a woman of such humble origins
13:27besides, he knew better than anyone just how much viviane loved him
13:32back when the mercer family went bankrupt
13:34he became a pariah in oakwood city
13:36a fallen dog everyone wanted to kick
13:38creditors would block his door and splash paint on his house every day
13:41and no one dared to help him
13:43he was completely broken
13:44spending his days drowning his sorrows in bars
13:47it was viviane who, braving the pressure
13:49took out all her savings, knelt before him
13:52you still have me
13:53for the sake of his project
13:55she traveled alone to 12 cities
13:57refusing to stop even when she was so exhausted
14:00she had to be hospitalized
14:01after finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel
14:04and looking forward to this wedding of the century
14:06how could she possibly turn around and marry someone else?
14:09julian composed himself and dialed ethan's number
14:11the phone rang for a long time before someone picked up
14:14it was incredibly noisy on the other end
14:17why was that man allowed into the wedding venue
14:20my wedding to viviane
14:23don't you know he's the one viviane hates most?
14:28the villibase family is so powerful and influential
14:30they might not even show up if invited
14:32how was i supposed to know?
14:34viviane has been with me for 10 years
14:36who in the city doesn't know that?
14:39louis de villiers may be shameless
14:41but the villiers family still has some dignity
14:47julie
14:48you
14:49just take a look at the second video i sent you
14:56the velvet carpet stretched on and on
14:58a river of white roses flowing from beneath our feet
15:00all the way to the altar
15:03actually i'm not greedy
15:04i don't care about the wedding ceremony
15:08just sign the papier
15:09aren't you french supposed to be uninterested in marriage?
15:12well
15:13maybe i am a freak or something
15:15a music band
15:16300 guests
15:17a michelin three-star wedding banquet
15:19it's free
15:20so why not take advantage of it?
15:23as for you monsieur de villiers
15:30right after we got the marriage certificate
15:32you had the car parked in the alley behind the cathedral
15:35with your custom tailored suit ready for you to change into inside
15:38you said
15:39it doesn't matter whether we have the wedding or not?
15:42just once
15:43like a pebble hitting the surface of a lake
15:45the ripples hadn't even spread before the water returned to stillness
15:48but i knew i'd hit a nerve
15:50a spark of admiration for a worthy opponent flickered in his eyes
15:53viviane
15:57a free wedding
15:58i'll play along
16:04but those words you just spoke
16:06that'll accrue interest
16:36i looked up at him
16:38i turned my head to look at him
16:39but he didn't turn his
16:40only the curve of his lips lifted ever so slightly
16:43that expression clearly said
16:45you can't get away
16:46down below
16:47the groom's side of the family had erupted into chaos
16:50several uncles and elders were ashen faced
16:52whispering to one another
16:54what a disgrace
16:55over at the groomsmen's round
16:57things were even more chaotic
16:58they tried to rush up to the altar but were firmly held back
17:01they reached for their phones to send a warning
17:03only to discover no signals on the screens
17:08finally
17:08it dawned on them
17:09this wedding had never been a situation they could control from the very beginning
17:13the priest's white robe came into view
17:15he opened the bible and cleared his throat
17:17mrs viviane hayer
17:19do you take
17:23she does not
17:24julian's voice
17:25heavy with breath and anger
17:27viviane
17:28get down here this instant
17:31ethan looked as though he'd seen a savior and immediately ran over
17:34he took a breath
17:35julie vive
17:36she walked down the aisle arm in arm with louis de villiers
17:38i couldn't stop her
17:40thank goodness you made it over
17:42finally
17:44that video had been secretly filmed by ethan
17:46in the footage
17:47the aisle stretched on and on
17:49i walked step by step toward louis de villiers
17:51then willingly took his hand
17:53julian knew better than anyone
17:55i hated louis de villiers even more than he did
17:58even the way i looked at louis de villiers
18:01julian had never seen me look at another man like that in his entire life
18:05the priest holding the bible felt uneasy on the stage
18:08with inquisitive eyes staring at me
18:10without turning back
18:12do continue
18:15my voice wasn't loud but it made julian's face turn ashen in an instant
18:19louis's lips curved
18:20s'il vous plaît
18:22oh viviane have you completely lost your head
18:26his eyes were filled with nothing but anger and disbelief
18:30what kind of act are you putting on
18:35you've been with me for 10 years
18:38i've seen you through
18:39do you even know who this man is
18:41what kind of heiresses doesn't he have at his side
18:43why would he ever take a liking to you
18:46you're standing on stage right now arm in arm with louis de villiers
18:49are you trying to make me jealous
18:51or do you want the whole city to laugh at you
18:54don't let yourself be toyed with and still think you've won
18:58come down now and i'll pretend today never happened
19:01i'll throw another wedding
19:02you'll still be mrs mercer
19:04after saying that
19:05he lifted his chin slightly
19:06waiting for me to run down in tears and throw myself into his arms
19:09i looked at this man i had loved for 10 years
19:12endured for 10 years
19:13and humbled myself before to the dust
19:15yet never earned a shred of respect from
19:17then i smiled
19:18it was a light airy smile
19:20the kind that comes when you finally figured something out
19:23i turned my head toward louis de villiers
19:25i stood on tiptoe
19:27wrapped my arms around his neck
19:29and pulled his head down
19:30then kissed him
19:31the moment my lips touched his
19:33i felt his body stiffen ever so slightly
19:35just for an instant
19:36then his hand slid from my sides
19:39clasping my waist and pulling me tightly into his embrace
19:42like a beast that had been waiting far too long
19:44finally having its prey come to it
19:46no more restraint
19:47no more calculation
19:49just a fierce kiss in return
19:50as if he were trying to swallow every last breath from me
19:53a collective gasp echoed through the church
19:55the elderly awkwardly covered their eyes
19:58the young ones were left speechless
20:08i ignored him
20:09louis de villiers was the first to let go of me
20:12his breathing was still heavy
20:13his thumb brushed the corner of my mouth
20:15his voice hoarse beyond belief
20:20light finally shone in those dark
20:22brooding eyes
20:23his dark eyes burned with raw possession
20:25this time
20:25i won't let you get away
20:27he turned his head
20:29escort mr mercer out
20:30command to the bodyguards behind him
20:31for well-trained bodyguards in black
20:34moved silently toward julian
20:35before he could even swallow and digest my betrayal
20:38his arms were grabbed
20:39his eyes instantly reddened
20:40and his voice cracked
20:42louis de villette
20:43this is my wedding
20:44my place
20:45and my woman
20:45who gives you the right to steal my wedding
20:48and my wife
20:49don't forget that hundred billion dollar project in macau
20:52your villier family had eyes on it for three years
20:55but whose hands did the final approval end up in
21:01besides are you monsieur de villiers really that undiscarning
21:07a woman who's been with me for 10 years
21:09i'm sick of her
21:10yet you treat her like a treasure
21:11and parade her up on stage
21:12would you like to be a kukwold
21:14how to say it in french
21:15on koku
21:17monsieur de villas
21:18you'd prefer to be a kou
21:19he was about to say more
21:20but the bodyguards dragged him out
21:23louis de villiers lowered his head
21:25and looked into my eyes
21:26the things he said
21:29i don't care
21:30i interrupted him
21:31the corners of his mouth curved slightly
21:33revealing a vague
21:34indescribable tenderness
21:35i clenched my hands
21:36and turned to face the priest
21:38continue
21:39over there
21:40the voice of julian had shifted from a roar to a choked sob
21:43no viv stop now i'm back
21:45i kicked chloe out
21:47she is out do you hear me
21:49this wedding
21:51is the wedding of the century i promised you
21:54it's for you and it's for me too
21:55for the first time in my life
21:57i do want to marry someone
21:59the voice grew fainter and fainter
22:01until it faded away completely
22:05the priest declared
22:06i now declare you
22:08husband
22:08and wife
22:09louis de villiers pulled a ring from his suit pocket
22:12it was clearly a ring he'd been preparing for a long time
22:15he lifted my hand and gently slid it over my finger
22:18there
22:19i let you slip away in college
22:20later
22:21i forced my dad to go to your family's house to curry favor with your father
22:25urging your parents to set the wedding datum soon impossible
22:27but you ran away again
22:29you can't get away this time
22:30i let out a laugh
22:32my parents made a 10 year bet with me
22:34if 10 years later
22:35i could return with julian and stand before them with my head held high
22:38they would accept him as their son-in-law
22:40if i lost the bet
22:42i'd go back and marry someone else
22:44louis de villiers was
22:45in their words
22:46the punishment for my accepting the consequences of my bet
22:48all these years
22:50i've worked tirelessly to prove myself
22:52for business projects
22:53i'm often away on business trips
22:55spending little time with julian
22:57ironically
22:58i've run into louis de villiers
23:00my arch rival
23:01at major projects
23:02investment conferences
23:03and negotiation tables more often than i've seen my own boyfriend
23:06yet
23:07the professional facade we maintained has always been vague
23:10those clashes
23:11tests
23:12and head-to-head confrontations have left only a vague outline in my memory
23:15a man who always stood on the opposite side
23:18a tough nut to crack
23:19until this very moment
23:20i looked down at the ring on my ring finger
23:23a few fragmented memories suddenly flashed through my mind
23:26back in college
23:27i loved design
23:28i secretly sketched one sketchbook after another filled with jewelry designs
23:32but my father said that studying management and taking over the family business was the right path
23:37and that design was nothing more than wasting time
23:39that day
23:40he came to school to see me and accidentally stumbled upon my sketchbook
23:44furious
23:44he crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can right in front of me
23:49what's the point of drawing this stuff
23:50that design sketch has now become the ring on my ring finger
23:53it turns out that while everyone else was telling me to give up on my dreams
23:57someone picked them up for me
23:58kept them hidden for 10 years
24:01waiting for this day to put them back on my finger
24:03my eyes were stunned for a moment
24:05i took a deep breath and accepted another ring from sloan's hand
24:08gently
24:09i slipped it onto his ring finger
24:10as the ring slid into place
24:12he curved his finger slightly
24:14hooking my fingertip
24:15applause erupted all around us
24:17i looked up
24:17wanting to see his expression
24:19the gate of the cathedral swung open once more
24:24two uniformed police officers walked in
24:26followed by julian
24:27it's him
24:27julian raised his hand and pointed directly at louis de villiers
24:31who was holding my hand at the altar
24:33this man has trespassed onto my wedding venue
24:35snatched my bride
24:36caused a disturbance
24:37and disrupted a lawful wedding
24:39please take him away immediately
24:42this wedding was organized by me julian
24:45the flowers
24:46the venue
24:47the banquet
24:48the invitations
24:49every single penny came out of my own pocket
24:51every prominent figure in this city can vouch for that
24:55mr mercer
24:56is what you've said true
24:57the room fell deathly silent
24:59not even the mercer family dared to step forward
25:02and speak on julian's behalf at this critical moment
25:04finally
25:05i stepped forward and spoke up
25:07officer this wedding is mine and my husband's
25:10there's no problem
25:11then
25:12who is your husband
25:13i turned my head to look at the man standing beside me
25:16who had been holding my hand the entire time
25:18calm and silent
25:19i heard my voice steady and firm
25:22it's him
25:22louis de villiers
25:24julian's body stiffened suddenly
25:26as if he'd been punched in the chest
25:27that shock wasn't anger
25:29nor was it sadness
25:30it was a bewildered disbelief
25:32he probably never imagined that one day
25:34i the woman who could only be with him
25:36would stand beside someone else
25:38to utter another man's name with such certainty
25:41i turned my head and nodded at sloan
25:43she got me instantly
25:44and then took a folder from my bag
25:46and handed it to the police officer
25:47here is the wedding venue lease agreement
25:50the receipt for flower purchases
25:52and the banquet service contract
25:53i am the signatory on all these documents
25:56mr mercer merely helped with the setup

26:00was arranged entirely by me for myself
