00:00Please, call an ambulance.
00:02After my fiancha's childhood friend found out, I was born with a heart condition.
00:13She secretly poured a second high-dose energy drink.
00:16Just to show respect to Charlotte on her big day.
00:19In a panic, I tore open my only emergency medication, but the water I used to take it had been
00:24swapped with more of the same high-caffeine energy drink.
00:27As soon as I swallowed it, a violent wave of nausea hit me.
00:31My vision blurred.
00:34Energy drinks are full of vitamins and caffeine.
00:37They help with hangovers and keep you alert and healthy.
00:40Ethan, your fiancé's acting is incredible.
00:43I've been a doctor for years, and I've never seen anyone react like this to a little champagne and a
00:48harmless energy drink.
00:50Honey, please, call an ambulance. I can't take it anymore.
00:54For a moment, Ethan's expression wavered.
00:57He looked almost worried and even took half a step forward.
01:00Come on, stop pretending. Nobody dies from a bit of champagne and an energy drink.
01:05Yeah, you're just jealous Charlotte got promoted and didn't want to toast to her.
01:09Ethan's face turned cold again.
01:11Charlotte's a doctor. You'll be fine with her here, right?
01:24I invited her because I wanted to fix things between us.
01:31What are you doing?
01:32We just called you out a bit, and now you're trying to post on Instagram to get people to attack
01:36us?
01:40Ethan's face was dark, and he looked at me with a cold glare.
01:44Though his brow tritched and his hand instinctively moved toward his pocket again,
01:49the pain made my vision go black at the edges.
01:52I didn't do anything, Ethan. I was born with a heart condition.
01:56I think I'm having an attack.
02:01Please, call an ambulance.
02:03Ethan finally noticed something was wrong.
02:07But before he could decide, Charlotte pulled him away.
02:14Ethan, your fiancé's so inconsiderate.
02:17Everyone came here to celebrate my promotion,
02:19but she's jealous and trying to ruin the party they threw for me.
02:22I knew Amelia never liked me.
02:24I invited her because I wanted to fix things between us,
02:27but she didn't appreciate it.
02:31She's showing everyone how nasty she can be.
02:34Ethan, if I'd known this would happen, I would have solely invited you.
02:40You really know how to act, don't you?
02:42Maybe try using that talent for acting instead of scheming and stirring up trouble.
02:47As a doctor, I can tell when someone's faking it.
02:54But even though it was supposed to be my date with Ethan,
02:57Ethan and Charlotte had grown up together.
03:00They had their own tight circle.
03:03Charlotte was unhappy about it.
03:05She often showed up uninvited whenever Ethan and I went out.
03:11Ethan!
03:14Charlotte's like my sister, don't overthink it.
03:17Amelia, I'm only tagging along to help our friends decide if you're right for Ethan.
03:22He's already spent enough time on you.
03:25You can't be this greedy.
03:26Charlotte's words made me feel like if I loved Ethan,
03:29I would have to accept all his friends, even Charlotte herself.
03:34But even though it was supposed to be my date with Ethan,
03:36we ended up doing the things Charlotte liked.
03:39I pulled myself back to the present.
03:42Memories of those suffocating dates flashing through my mind.
03:49I get it, Amelia.
03:51You're so used to being in the spotlight that you have to steal the show, don't you?
03:56Today, the focus is on me.
03:58And since no one is cheering for you like your fans would,
04:01you're putting on an act just to get attention.
04:03Remember when we were kids?
04:05You said you'd kill anyone who made me unhappy.
04:09Looks like you've changed.
04:16You call yourself the fiancé of a mafia?
04:18The guests at the party sneered at me.
04:21They were all Charlotte and Ethan's friends.
04:23They had always thought I was not good enough for Ethan
04:26and felt nothing but dislike towards me.
04:34Amelia, I know you don't like Charlotte.
04:36I've already tried to keep you away from her.
04:38But her promotion party only lasts one day.
04:42Can't you just bear with it for a few hours?
04:45The sharp taste helped me stay conscious for a few more seconds.
04:49Instead of just begging, a spark of cold anger rose in me.
04:52I started crawling toward the door,
04:54my nails scraping the ground with determination.
04:56I hoped someone outside could help me,
04:59and part of me refused to die quietly in front of them.
05:03What's wrong?
05:05You got exposed, and now that Ethan won't defend you anymore,
05:08you're embarrassed and trying to run away?
05:12But a couple exchanged uneasy glance.
05:15My weak body hit the champagne tower.
05:17Glasses fell to the ground,
05:18and champagne spilled all over me,
05:21soaking my clothes and mixing with my cold sweat.
05:33You call yourself the fiancé of a mafia boss?
05:36There's a limit to playing the victim.
05:38Look at yourself, all miserable and pathetic.
05:40You're making Ethan look bad.
05:46It's so hot, and this is an outdoor party.
05:49Ethan, your fiancé's been causing trouble even before the wedding.
05:53Imagine what she'll be like later.
05:54Today is the perfect chance to teach her a lesson.
06:05Amelia, I've had enough.
06:07Stop pretending and get up!
06:09The next moment, he froze.
06:11My face was deathly pale,
06:14lips turning a faint blue.
06:20Amelia's terrified of pain.
06:22Could it really be?
06:24My mind was already fogging over.
06:27It's so hot, and this is an outdoor party.
06:31She's suffering from heat strike,
06:32yet she lies on the ground and continues to pretend.
06:35A cold drink will fix her right up.
06:41Suddenly, everything went strangely quiet inside me.
06:44My heart no longer raced.
06:46It stuttered in irregular, terrifying beats.
06:51Not because the pain had eased,
06:52but because I seemed to have forgotten how to breathe.
06:57She's not actually dying, is she?
07:02Ethan took a glass of strong whiskey from a waiter.
07:07Ethan looked at me with worry.
07:09He pushed through the crowd.
07:14Amelia, what's wrong?
07:17Move!
07:18Get out of the way!
07:19Amelia, your next role is a heroine with a heart condition?
07:24It's no wonder your act looks so real.
07:29You really fooled everyone.
07:31Your acting is...
07:33impressive.
07:39Ethan glanced at the trailer on Charlotte's phone.
07:42His worry turned to anger.
07:44Amelia, this is Charlotte's celebration party,
07:46not your personal show.
07:48Get up, or else...
07:51I was in too much pain to hear the rest.
07:53My face twisted in agony.
07:56Looks like she hasn't changed.
07:58Ethan, teach her a lesson.
07:59You are the mafia boss.
08:01How can you let her ruin my party
08:04and make a fool of you?
08:07Listen, Charlotte is the star today.
08:09Whether you like it or not...
08:18Ethan took a glass of strong whiskey from a waiter
08:21and held it out to me.
08:26I've known you for a very long time
08:27and never once heard about your heart condition.
08:29Get up, and toast to Charlotte.
08:32I'll overlook the stupid thing you did today.
08:34Tears ran down my face from the pain.
08:37I looked at Ethan's cold, heartless face
08:40and forced myself to say...
08:43No!
08:45Amelia, I already finished my drink.
08:52Amelia, I already finished my drink.
08:55You are really narrow-minded.
08:57Poor Ethan, he always tries to defend you.
09:00If you love acting so much,
09:02I'll help you.
09:08I struggled.
09:10I could only watch helplessly
09:11as they poured the whiskey into my mouth.
09:14My heart could not take it.
09:16Sharp pain and suffocating pressure
09:18spread through me.
09:25Help, help me, my heart.
09:29Stop pretending, Amelia.
09:30It is just a glass of whiskey.
09:32It can't hurt you.
09:34I've known you for a very long time
09:36and never once heard about your heart condition.
09:39I stayed silent because I loved you.
09:42I wanted to give you a chance,
09:44but you disappointed me.
09:55Ethan is handsome, rich,
09:57and the boss of the entire Rolling Stars.
10:01Three years ago,
10:03I ran away to follow my dream of acting.
10:06One day,
10:06I was cornered by street bugs
10:08and Ethan appeared like a hero.
10:13We fell in love at first sight
10:15and quickly grew close.
10:16When I learned that Ethan,
10:18who seemed cold and de-packed,
10:20had lost both his parents to sudden illness,
10:22I decided to hide my own condition
10:24so that he would not have to feel
10:26that kind of fear and worry again.
10:29Ethan turned away in disgust
10:31and refused to look at me again.
10:35After he turned his back,
10:37Charlene grew even more smug.
10:42I was forced to open my bloodshot eyes
10:44to look at the cruel woman in front of me.
10:54Why?
10:56Why are you doing this to me?
10:58You don't deserve him.
11:00Ethan is handsome,
11:01rich,
11:02and the boss of the entire Rolling Stars.
11:04I spent 11 years trying to win his heart
11:07and failed.
11:07How can someone like you,
11:09a filthy rat,
11:10who crawled out of the gutter,
11:12ever deserve him?
11:14A filthy rat,
11:16a cold, bitter smile appeared on my lips.
11:19A filthy rat,
11:21a cold, bitter smile appeared on my lips.
11:25If my father knew I had been humiliated
11:28and mistreated like this after leaving home,
11:30how heartbroken would he be?
11:33Sadly,
11:33I would never see him again.
11:35My consciousness began to fade.
11:37Through the blur,
11:38I saw the pouch of medicine
11:39I had dropped near the waiter's feet.
11:42Some emergency medicine
11:43was still inside.
11:45Just a few more steps.
11:49Just a few more.
11:53I thought I could reach the pouch.
11:56Even if I could not,
11:58I hope this would catch this waiter's attention.
12:05Weren't you just pretending you were about to die?
12:07Look how fat you can crawl now.
12:10Amelia,
12:11you just couldn't help showing your clumsy trick!
12:14I take back my compliment about your acting!
12:19She raised her voice on purpose
12:20to draw everyone's attention.
12:22Ethan glanced at me,
12:23then turned away with even more impatience.
12:30I did not care about that.
12:32I bit down on the pain
12:33and tried to pull the packet away
12:34from under Charlotte's seal.
12:36Charlotte gave me a mocking smile
12:37and whispered,
12:38Your heart must hurt so much
12:40you nearly died, right?
12:42There's worse pain yet to come.
12:45Charlotte's eyes went cold.
12:47She lifted her foot
12:48and kicked my outstretched arm.
12:52I felt numb
12:54and could not even make a sound.
12:57The waiter who had been pushed aside
12:58pointed under the table and screamed,
13:00There's blood!
13:02There's so much blood!
13:05His cry got everyone's attention.
13:07Ethan frowned.
13:08He pushed through the guests
13:10and rushed to my side.
13:11When he saw me,
13:12he froze.
13:13The small cuts on my arm
13:15from the broken glass
13:16had been ripped open
13:17by Charlotte's heel.
13:18Blood flowed
13:19and soaked the grass beneath me.
13:20Amelia!
13:21I'll take you to the hospital now!
13:24He did not hesitate
13:25and reached to pick me up.
13:27Charlotte showed a flicker of panic.
13:32This is nothing, Ethan.
13:33It looks worse than it actually is.
13:35It's just a surface wound.
13:38No need for an emergency.
13:39I'm a doctor.
13:40I can treat her faster
13:41than going to the hospital.
13:43She grabbed a glass of liquor
13:45and poured it straight
13:46onto my wound.
13:50Charlotte acted concerned
13:51and lifted my arm.
13:53Blood ran from the wound
13:55and mixed with grass and dirt.
13:57Amelia,
13:58you have to stop
14:00with the pity party.
14:01You crawled over the glass
14:02on purpose
14:03to cut yourself,
14:04didn't you?
14:05You're taking advantage
14:06of Ethan's love for you
14:07to make him give in.
14:08I feel sorry for him.
14:15Is that it, Amelia?
14:17You knew I couldn't stand
14:18seeing someone close to me hurt
14:20so you used such petty tricks
14:21to threaten me?
14:22Can't you even put up
14:23with such a small thing
14:24as this for me?
14:26Listen, Amelia.
14:27We aren't leaving this place today.
14:29We'll stay until the party ends.
14:31Charlotte,
14:32treat her wound.
14:33Whoever helps Amelia
14:34will be considered
14:35to be against
14:35the whole Rolling Stones.
14:37Charlotte grew triumphant.
14:39She lifted my injured arm
14:40as if it were a rag doll.
14:42Don't worry, Ethan.
14:44I've treated wounds
14:45like these many times before.
14:47First,
14:48we need to disinfect them.
14:50She grabbed a glass of liquor
14:51and poured it
14:52straight onto my wound.
14:58If Ethan hadn't rescued her,
15:00who knows where she'd be now?
15:02The burning pain
15:04made my weak heart
15:05stop for a moment.
15:06My mind cleared a little.
15:08I spat up blood
15:09and managed to say
15:10with difficulty,
15:12My father,
15:14Reese,
15:17won't let you get away with this.
15:22Your father?
15:23A junkie from West Street
15:24or a drunk from East Street?
15:26My father runs the city hospitals
15:28and has close ties
15:28with the Rolling Stones.
15:30Don't try to act superior
15:31in front of me.
15:34Darkness flickered
15:35at the edge of my vision.
15:37I felt numb
15:38and could no longer
15:39feel the pain.
15:41Reese?
15:42You mean the Reese family
15:43that controls
15:44half the mafia world?
15:45Don't listen to her lies!
15:46Ethan told me
15:47she's a failed actress!
15:49If Ethan hadn't rescued her,
15:50who knows where she'd be now?
15:52Ha ha ha!
15:55The Reese family?
15:56Please!
15:57This woman will say
15:58anything to survive!
16:00Ha ha ha!
16:01After hearing Charlotte's words,
16:03they laughed cruelly.
16:05Ethan's face grew even darker.
16:08He turned his back on me
16:10and walked away.
16:11He did not care about me,
16:13even though I was dying.
16:28He turned his back on me
16:31before I blacked out.
16:33Tears blurred my view.
16:36Papa, save me.
16:38I called out
16:39even though I knew
16:40it might just be a hallucination.
16:42Ha ha ha!
16:44Ha ha ha!
16:45Ha ha ha!
16:47Ha ha ha!
16:47Ha ha ha!
16:49Papa, do you really think
16:51you are a mafia principissa?
16:53Who is your papa?
16:54A mindless fan
16:55or another sponsor?
16:57She saw Ethan walk away
16:59and grabbed my mud-cocked hair.
17:02She slapped me hard.
17:05Ha ha ha!
17:06My world collapsed
17:08into dizzying blackness.
17:09Ha ha ha!
17:12Ha ha ha!
17:14Ha ha ha!
17:19Face the truth!
17:21Even if you die by our hands,
17:24no one's coming to save you.
17:32Just as I closed my eyes in despair,
17:34a furious voice rang in my ear.
17:37I knew it better
17:38than any other voice
17:39in the world.
17:43How dare you torment my daughter!
17:46I'll make you pay
17:47with your lives!
17:50My father stormed
17:52into the party
17:53with a group of mafia men
17:54behind him.
17:59Charlotte and her friends
18:00froze when they saw
18:01the guns pointed at them.
18:03They let go of me
18:04right away
18:05and were terrified.
18:10My father pushed
18:11through the crowd.
18:14His eyes turned red
18:15with anger
18:15when he saw me weak
18:17and bleeding profusely.
18:28Amelia, my baby!
18:29My body could not
18:30hold on anymore.
18:31Soaked in sweat,
18:33I collapsed
18:34into my father's arms.
18:42Who dares make trouble
18:44on the Rolling Stones turf?
18:46Ethan!
18:50Save me!
18:52When Charlotte saw Ethan,
18:54she acted like
18:55she had just seen
18:56her savior.
18:59He froze
19:00as soon as he saw
19:01the pill
19:02in my father's hand.
19:03A heart medicine?
19:07Amelia really has
19:08a heart condition?
19:09He finally realized
19:11that I had told him
19:12the truth.
19:13His face went pale
19:15and his mind went blank.
19:19and his face went blank.
19:20You hurt my baby.
19:21I'll take your hands
19:22for that.
19:31You hurt my baby.
19:33I'll take your hands
19:35for that.
20:00I'll take you to the hospital
20:05right now.
20:06During the three years
20:06we were together,
20:07Ethan often said
20:08I was narrow-minded
20:09because I could not
20:10accept Charlotte
20:11being with us.
20:12He thought all our fights
20:13about her were because
20:14I was jealous and petty.
20:17But when he faced
20:18the same situation,
20:19he was far from achieving
20:20the magnanimity
20:21and generosity
20:22that he expected me
20:23to display.
20:31You fool.
20:43You know Mr. Recy
20:44and he values you so much
20:45you have to save me!
20:46This fool is the reason
20:47you hid your identity
20:48and refuse to come home?
20:54Not anymore.
20:56I want to go home.
20:58Back to the Rees family.
21:03Rees?
21:04The top mafia family
21:05in the country?
21:06Amelia's connected to them?
21:21Who are you?
21:22What's your relationship
21:23with my fiancé?
21:29That old man
21:30must be Amelia's sugar daddy.
21:32Ethan,
21:33didn't the boss
21:34of the Recy family
21:35help you take over
21:36the East District?
21:36You know Mr. Recy
21:38and he values you so much
21:40you have to save me!
21:41Ethan froze.
21:42The Rees family
21:43had many branches
21:44and held power
21:45across the country.
21:46Ethan used to be
21:47the mere leader
21:48of a gang
21:48of small-time thugs.
21:50But three years ago,
21:51he suddenly received help
21:52from the dawn
21:53of the Rees family
21:54and took control
21:55of both the East
21:56and West districts.
21:58The Rolling Stones
21:59quickly developed
21:59into a small mafia family
22:01in the nation.
22:06Everyone believed
22:07my father had helped
22:08because he saw potential
22:09in Ethan
22:10and the Rolling Stones.
22:11It was no wonder
22:12Charlotte thought
22:13my father,
22:14who rarely showed
22:15his face,
22:16was close to Ethan.
22:17My father carefully
22:18handed me over
22:19to his men.
22:20He stood up
22:21and looked coldly
22:22at Ethan.
22:24Three years ago,
22:25you saved my daughter,
22:26so I gave you a gift.
22:28I, David Rees,
22:30consider my debt
22:31with you,
22:31Ethan Cross,
22:33fulfilled henceforth.
22:40But someone has to pay
22:42for what my daughter
22:44suffered today.
22:46David Rees?
22:48You're Mr. Rees?
22:51Amelia is your daughter?
22:52I'm sorry, Mr. Rees.
22:54I didn't know
22:55who Amelia really was.
22:57I was just joking
22:58around with her.
22:59Please have mercy.
23:01Joking?
23:02Then let me play
23:04a John U, too.
23:07Charlotte clutched
23:08her arm
23:08and screamed
23:09in pain.
23:21My arm!
23:23No!
23:24No!
23:25I just got promoted!
23:27How am I supposed
23:28to operate now?
23:31I can't stand
23:32loud people.
23:34If you're unhappy
23:35that I only took
23:36your right hand,
23:38then I can make it
23:40so that I take
23:41your other one
23:41as well.
23:46No!
23:47It's not like that!
23:48Ethan, please!
23:49You know that I had
23:50no idea about
23:50Amelia's condition!
23:51I even tried
23:52to treat her wound!
23:53Please tell him!
23:54When my father
23:55did not respond,
23:56she turned
23:57to Ethan.
23:58Ethan frowned.
23:59He looked conflicted.
24:00Then,
24:01one of my father's
24:02men stepped forward
24:03and played
24:04the security footage
24:05from the party.
24:06The video
24:07clearly showed
24:08Charlotte pouring
24:09a high-strength
24:10sports drink
24:11into my champagne.
24:12It also showed
24:14her stepping
24:14on the medicine
24:15packet while
24:16I was crawling.
24:31How dare you
24:32humiliate
24:33my daughter
24:34like this!
24:35I'll make
24:36you disappear!
24:40Please!
24:41Tell her
24:42to spare me!
24:45Charlotte
24:45was terrified.
24:49No, please!
24:51Ethan,
24:52you're
24:52Amelia's fiancé!
24:53You saved her once!
24:55Please!
24:56Tell her
24:56to spare me!
25:03Get off me!
25:05You lied to me
25:06and almost killed
25:06Amelia!
25:07How dare you
25:07ask me for help!
25:14You can't
25:14let me die!
25:15My father
25:16saved your life
25:17once!
25:17You promised
25:18him you'd
25:18protect me!
25:19You saved
25:20Amelia
25:20so you have
25:21to save me
25:22too!
25:24Ethan froze
25:25for a moment.
25:28He looked at me.
25:31His eyes
25:32were filled
25:32with conflict
25:33and hesitation.
25:37Charlotte
25:38had come to me
25:39I had
25:41never
25:41once
25:41questioned him
25:42no matter
25:43how much
25:43Ethan
25:44doubted
25:44or grew
25:45impatient
25:45with me.
25:46That was
25:47until today.
25:51I thought
25:51he chose
25:52Charlotte over me
25:53because she
25:53manipulated him.
25:55I did not
25:55expect that
25:56even after
25:57finding out
25:57the whole truth
25:58he would
25:59hesitate
25:59to choose
26:00between us.
26:02my father
26:03sneered.
26:06Get off me!
26:07You lied to me
26:09and almost
26:09killed Amelia!
26:10How dare you
26:11ask me for help!
26:13Stop!
26:14A life
26:14for a life
26:15we're even.
26:16I took
26:17a deep
26:17breath
26:18and stopped
26:18him.
26:26Papa
26:27that's
26:27enough.
26:35Amelia
26:35I knew
26:36it!
26:37I knew
26:38you'd
26:38forgive me!
26:40Stop!
26:41A life
26:42for a life
26:43we're even.
26:43I spared
26:45Charlotte
26:45for you.
26:46From now
26:47on
26:47we have
26:49nothing
26:49to do
26:49with each
26:50other.
26:51Ethan
26:51froze
26:51in place.
26:53What
26:53did you
26:54just say?
26:54At that
26:55moment
26:55the Reese
26:56family's
26:57medical car
26:57screeched
26:58to a stop
26:58at the
26:59entrance
26:59of the
26:59party.
27:00My
27:00father
27:01lifted

32:26men
32:26looked
32:27surprised
32:27by
32:27my
32:27tone.
32:28One
32:29of
32:29them
32:29paused
32:29and
32:29asked,
32:31Prince
32:31of Pesa,
32:32don't
32:32you
32:32want
32:33to
32:33see
32:33him?
32:34I
32:35raised
32:35an
32:35eyebrow
32:36and
32:36continued
32:36folding
32:37my
32:37clothes.
32:38What
32:38for?
32:39I'm
32:40leaving
32:40for my
32:40surgery
32:40tomorrow.
32:41I
32:57boarded
32:58the
32:58plane
32:58as
32:58planned.
33:00Everything
33:00for the
33:01surgery
33:01went
33:01smoothly.
33:03On
33:03the
33:03day
33:03of
33:03the
33:04surgery,
33:04the
33:04sky
33:04was
33:05clear
33:05and
33:05bright.
33:07The
33:07sunlight
33:08felt
33:08a
33:08promise
33:08of
33:09a
33:09better
33:09future.
33:16I
33:17took
33:17a
33:17deep
33:18breath
33:18as
33:18I
33:18was
33:18wheeled
33:19into
33:19the
33:19operating
33:20room.
33:20The
33:21ensnesialist
33:22gave
33:22me
33:22the
33:22medicine
33:22and
33:23left
33:23the
33:23room.
33:25The
33:26surgery
33:26would
33:26begin
33:27once
33:27the
33:27surgeon
33:28was
33:28ready.
33:30I
33:30took
33:30slow,
33:31deep
33:31breaths,
33:32closed
33:33my
33:33eyes,
33:34and
33:34hoped
33:34I
33:35would
33:35wake
33:35up
33:35to
33:35a
33:36new
33:36life.
33:39Before
33:39I
33:39lost
33:39consciousness,
33:40a
33:41nurse
33:41suddenly
33:41ran
33:42into
33:42the
33:42room.
33:44She
33:44pulled
33:45down
33:45her mask
33:45to
33:45reveal
33:46a
33:46scarred,
33:46twisted
33:47face.
33:48It
33:49was
33:49Charlotte!
33:51After
33:51I
33:51returned
33:52to
33:52the
33:52Reese
33:52family
33:52villa,
33:53I
33:53had
33:53heard
33:53what
33:53had
33:53happened
33:54to
33:54her.
33:55She
33:55infended
33:55the
33:56Reese
33:56family,
33:56her
33:56sewn
33:57family
33:57abandoned
33:57her
33:58completely.
33:59She
33:59had
33:59on
33:59the
33:59vials
33:59hair
34:00always
34:00looked
34:00bright
34:00and
34:01charming,
34:01but
34:02inside
34:02she
34:02was
34:03cruel
34:03and
34:03twisted.
34:04Her
34:04former
34:05victims
34:05found
34:05out
34:06that
34:06she
34:06had
34:06become
34:06an
34:06outcast
34:07and
34:07had
34:07also
34:08lost
34:08one
34:08of
34:08her
34:08hands.
34:09They
34:09came
34:10after
34:10her
34:10for
34:10revenge.
34:12Even
34:12Ethan,
34:12for some
34:13reason,
34:13ignored
34:14her
34:14completely.
34:20Well,
34:20well,
34:21you
34:22finally
34:22fell
34:22into
34:23my
34:23hands.
34:24Desperate
34:25and ruined,
34:26Charlotte moved
34:26from place to
34:27place in the
34:28red light
34:28district.
34:29She sold
34:30her body
34:30constantly
34:31for food.
34:32One day,
34:33she argued
34:34with another
34:34woman over
34:34a client
34:35and angered
34:36the local
34:36thugs.
34:44After
34:45that,
34:46she
34:46vanished
34:46without a
34:47trace.
34:51I
34:52never
34:52thought
34:52she
34:52would
34:52show
34:53up
34:53in
34:53my
34:53operating
34:54room.
35:00Well,
35:00well,
35:01you
35:02finally
35:02fell
35:02into
35:03my
35:03hands.
35:04All
35:04those
35:05days
35:05sneaking
35:05into
35:06this
35:06hospital
35:06were
35:06worth
35:07it.
35:17All
35:17of
35:17this
35:18is
35:18your
35:18fault.
35:19I'll
35:19make
35:20you
35:20suffer.
35:21I
35:21wanted
35:21to
35:21scream,
35:22but the
35:22anesthesia
35:23kept me
35:23from moving.
35:24Sleep overtook
35:25me faster,
35:26and tears
35:27streamed
35:27down my
35:28face.
35:28I did
35:29not want
35:29to die
35:30like
35:30this.
35:32Amelia,
35:33hurry!
35:33somebody
35:34help!
35:39Damn it!
35:40How are
35:40you always
35:41this lucky?
35:42Go to
35:42hell!
35:42Charlotte
35:43panicked.
35:43She
35:44grabbed a
35:44scalpel
35:44and aimed
35:45for my
35:45heart.
35:50Yeah,
35:51it's
35:52okay now.
35:53A blurry
35:53figure leapt
35:54forward and
35:55kicked
35:55Charlotte
35:55away.
35:57Charlotte,
35:57acting like
35:58a madman,
35:59jumped up
35:59again and
36:00swung the
36:00scalpel
36:01at me.
36:04Amelia!
36:07The figure
36:08threw himself
36:09around me
36:09and shielded
36:10me.
36:10The knife
36:11pierced his
36:12body,
36:12and he
36:13let out
36:13a low
36:13groan.
36:15When the
36:16scalpel
36:16struck his
36:17heart,
36:17I finally
36:18saw Ethan's
36:19face.
36:20The next
36:20moment,
36:21the anesthesia
36:22took over,
36:23and I
36:23slowly closed
36:24my eyes.
36:29When the
36:30doctors and
36:30security rushed
36:31into the
36:31operating room,
36:33Ethan finally
36:33allowed himself
36:34a relieved
36:34smile.
36:35Blood
36:36spurted from
36:36his mouth.
36:40Yeah,
36:42it's
36:42okay now.
36:43When I
36:44woke up,
36:45my heart
36:45surgery had
36:46been completed
36:46successfully.
36:47I opened
36:48my eyes to
36:49see my
36:49father crying
36:50with joy.
36:51I knew
36:52my new
36:52life had
36:53really
36:53began.
36:56Because of
36:57the attack
36:57before,
36:58three rows
36:59of Reese
36:59family guards
37:00surrounded my
37:01hospital room.
37:03But that
37:03was unnecessary.
37:05The Reese
37:05family issued
37:06a bounty
37:07against her
37:07and her
37:07family.
37:08Spending
37:09the rest
37:09of her
37:09life in
37:10prison was
37:10almost a
37:11relief for
37:11her.
37:17I thought
37:18of Ethan
37:19who had
37:19taken the
37:19blow for
37:20me.
37:21One
37:21quiet night,
37:22my father
37:22walked to
37:23the window
37:23and gently
37:24opened it.
37:25Amelia,
37:26come here.
37:26Look at
37:27the moon.
37:32I stood
37:33up and
37:33walked over.
37:35The night
37:35breeze was
37:36cool.
37:38In the
37:38garden below,
37:39among the
37:39shadows of
37:40the trees,
37:41I saw a
37:41familiar figure
37:42leaning on
37:42a cane,
37:43wearing the
37:44same hospital
37:44gown as
37:45me.
37:46He was
37:46staring up
37:47at my
37:47window.
37:48The moment
37:48our eyes
37:49met,
37:49he froze,
37:50then quickly
37:50retreated into
37:51the darkness.
37:52darkness.
37:52My father
37:53sighed softly.
37:54That boy
37:55is lucky.
37:55The scalpel
37:56missed his
37:56heart by
37:57less than
37:57a centimeter.
37:58The doctors
37:59say he may
37:59develop heart
38:00problems in
38:00the future.
38:01He'll suffer
38:02when it
38:02blames up.
38:03I saved
38:04him.
38:05You're not
38:06angry,
38:06are you?
38:07He glanced
38:07at me
38:08cautiously.
38:09I looked
38:10at the
38:10empty
38:10garden for
38:11a few
38:11seconds,
38:12then reached
38:13out and
38:13slowly closed
38:14the window.
38:15Why would
38:15I be
38:16angry?
38:18He saved
38:18my life
38:19once,
38:19and now
38:20we're
38:20even.
38:22From
38:23now on,
38:26we have
38:26nothing to
38:27do with
38:27each other.
38:29The next
38:30morning,
38:31a nurse
38:31came in
38:31to change
38:32my IV.
38:34Mr.
38:34Ethan
38:35discharged
38:35himself late
38:36last night.
38:37he said
38:38he couldn't
38:38bear to
38:38stay here
38:39any longer.
38:42My father
38:43brought breakfast
38:44in person.
38:45Security
38:46reported he
38:47stood in
38:47the garden
38:47until dawn.
38:50I lowered
38:51my eyes,
38:52stirred the
38:52oatmeal gently,
38:53and said
38:54nothing.
39:02Three months
39:03later,
39:04my new
39:04drama became
39:05a massive
39:06hit.
39:06I went
39:07from a
39:07forgotten
39:07actress
39:08to a
39:08household
39:09name
39:09overnight.
39:10One evening,
39:11I attended
39:11a private
39:12dinner with
39:12my father
39:13at an
39:13exclusive
39:14club.
39:32Amelia, I've
39:33been looking for
39:33you for months.
39:34I know I was
39:35wrong.
39:35I was blind.
39:37Please, give me
39:37one chance to
39:38make it up to
39:38you.
39:40You're blocking
39:41my way.
39:43Just five minutes.
39:45That's all I
39:45ask.
39:59The lady said
40:00no.
40:01Learn to read
40:01the room.
40:04This is between
40:05me and her.
40:10Not anymore.
40:12She's with me
40:12tonight.
40:20You're choosing
40:21him over me?
40:22I'm not choosing
40:22anyone.
40:23I already chose
40:24to leave you
40:25three months ago.
40:38The night of the
40:39movie premiere
40:39arrived.
40:40The red carpet
40:41was lined with
40:42cameras and
40:42screaming fans.
40:43I wore a
40:44stunning gold
40:45gown that
40:45shimmered under
40:46the lights,
40:46walking confidently
40:47down the
40:48carpet.
40:49To me.
40:50Tonight
40:51belonged to
40:52me.
41:01Amelia, I was
41:03wrong.
41:03I should have
41:04believed you.
41:05I watched you
41:06almost die and
41:08did nothing.
41:11Please, give me
41:12one last chance.
41:13I'll spend the
41:13rest of my life
41:14making it up to
41:15you.
41:19You had your
41:20chance, Ethan.
41:21You watched me
41:22lying on the
41:22ground begging for
41:23help and chose to
41:23believe someone
41:24else.
41:25There is
41:26nothing left
41:26between us.
41:28Amelia, please.
41:30I love you.
41:31I'm done with
41:31the past.
41:33Tonight is
41:33about my
41:34future.
41:36I turned
41:36away gracefully.
41:39Shall we,
41:40my leading
41:41lady?
41:41On my
41:42right, Victor
41:43Murata, the
41:43powerful producer,
41:44handed me a
41:45bouquet of
41:45roses.
41:46Jack Warren
41:47appeared on
41:47my left,
41:48offering his
41:49arm with
41:49charming
41:49smiles.
41:50For the
41:51brightest star
41:51tonight.
41:57Amelia, go, go.
41:59I can't live
42:00without you.
42:01I never
42:02looked back.
42:03From this
42:04moment on, I was
42:05no longer anyone's
42:06fiance.
42:07I was Amelia
42:07Reese, the heroine
42:09of my own story.
42:10going to say to you.
42:11I was
42:11going to say to you.
