00:00Liam Horton married me twice. The first time, I was his wife. The second time, I was his hostage.
00:06He threatened my parents with a bomb. I said yes. He moved Eleanor Sheridan and their son Theo into
00:12my home. My daughter Clary asked me why daddy never came to her room. I couldn't find the words.
00:17At the same time, Eleanor's son got sick. Liam didn't investigate, blamed it on my jealousy.
00:22He locked me in the chapel for two days and two nights. The cold chapel stole my consciousness.
00:27And the last of my feelings for Liam. When I woke again, I found myself lying in my bedroom.
00:31The room was warm. And a thick wool blanket covered my body. And four needle was inserted into the back
00:36of my hand. While a half-empty four bag hung beside the bed, Liam sat next to me, gripping my
00:40hand
00:40tightly. His sharply defined face showed clear signs of exhaustion and worry. Chrissy, you're finally
00:45awake. How do you feel? Is anything bothering you? I turned my head away, making it clear I didn't
00:52want to speak to him or even look at him. Chrissy, are you blaming me? His voice was slightly
00:58hoarse. This is on me. I've been busy taking care of the baby these past few days, so I didn't
01:04get to
01:04you. You still matter to me. I had someone watching over you in secret, and I specifically told him
01:09to report everything to me immediately, no matter how big or small. I didn't expect that useless
01:14idiot to slack off. You even frant and he didn't notice.
01:20Don't worry. Ising dealed with him. Job will know what happened again.
01:24He was still lying. Everything about taking care of the baby and arranging for someone to watch me
01:28was nothing but an excuse. He hadn't changed at all. I lowered my gaze, hiding the exhaustion in my
01:33eyes. Where's Clary? That was the only thing I said after waking up.
01:39My voice was breaking and soaked in despair. The broth she made me drink was made from my
01:45daughter. The accusation was so horrifying that Liam froze. He turned to Eleanor in disbelief.
01:50Is that true? I didn't. Eleanor cried, tears streaming down her face. It's just chicken broth.
01:58Chrissy, are you losing your mind? I'm a mother too. How could I possibly something as horrifying as
02:04cooking your daughter and feeding her to you? Claire is perfectly fine. She's at the Hortons
02:09Manor with Madam Hortons. If you don't believe me, we can call right now and have her brought over.
02:13Without any hesitation, Liam immediately ordered someone to bring Clarissa back from the Hortons
02:17Manor. Half an hour later, his men returned with her.
02:20Mommy!
02:21Clarissa cried as she ran straight into my arms. I froze in place. Clarissa was alive, so what had
02:26been in that mug? Realization struck me instantly, and I looked up at Eleanor. Eleanor stood behind
02:31Liam, her lips curling into a smug, satisfied smile. At that moment, I understood everything.
02:36This had been a setup from the very beginning. Eleanor had deliberately lied to provoke me,
02:40just so I would lose control in front of Liam.
02:44Christina, do you see it now?
02:46Liam's voice was ice cold.
02:47Clary is standing right here, perfectly fine. What else do you have to say?
02:51I closed my eyes. I had lost, and there was nothing left to say.
02:55Eleanor crossed her arms and wiped her tears. Looking wronged, a long gash marked her arm,
03:00which had been caused earlier when I lost control and cut her with a shard of porcelain.
03:03That injury, combined with her pitiful expression, erased the last trace of warmth in Liam's eyes
03:08and replaced it with cold, violent fury.
03:10Christina Yates, you actually made up something as insane as her cooking your daughter alive just
03:14to drive Ellie away? You've beaten her into this state, so even I can't defend you anymore.
03:18Guards, slap her a hundred times! From now on, think carefully before you speak,
03:23and make sure you know what you can and cannot say.
03:25As soon as he finished speaking, his men stepped forward, forced me to the ground,
03:29and began striking my face. After only two blows, blood seeped from the corner of my mouth.
03:37Mommy, don't hit mommy!
03:40Clarissa cried as she rushed forward. One of the men swung his arm without hesitation
03:44and struck Clarissa across the head. Her small body was sent flying before crashing to the ground,
03:48blood instantly seeping from her head.
03:52I struggled desperately to get up and reach my daughter, but Liam's men pinned me down so tightly
03:56that I couldn't move at all. Liam simply watched coldly.
03:59Keep going. Make sure she learns her lesson.
04:04The blows continued one after another, by the time it stopped. My face was already a bloody mess,
04:09and I couldn't even speak. Only then did Liam seem satisfied.
04:13You and Claire can stay in your room and reflect. I'll take Ellie to the hospital.
04:17With that, he left while protecting Eleanor. I crawled toward my daughter.
04:25Clary, how are you? Wake up. Don't scare me.
04:31The small body in my arms didn't move, didn't cry, and had no warmth at all. Blood slowly flowed
04:36from the wound on her head. I froze as my trembling hand reached for my daughter's pulse.
04:42There was no heartbeat. My daughter was dead.
04:47My phone suddenly rang.
04:50Chrissy, I've already sent your parents abroad and arranged new identities for them.
04:54They're safe now. Your visa is ready too. I picked it up from the post office and I'm outside your
04:58house right now. Are you coming with me?
05:00I didn't say a word. I held my daughter and walked toward the door. Outside, a black Rolls Royce was
05:08parked on the dark asphalt road. I got into the car with my daughter in my arms, then gently kissed
05:13her cold little face as tears streamed down uncontrollably. One year ago, I agreed to remarry
05:18him.
05:22Less than a year after our divorce, Liam came crawling back. He begged me to remarry him.
05:26When I refused, he had my parents abducted and strapped with explosives.
05:30Chrissy, I love you. Don't push me to the point where I have to hurt you.
05:3530 seconds. If you still won't say yes, I'll kill your parents and then I'll die with you.
05:41Unwilling to drag my parents down with me, I could only agree.
05:44After we remarried, Liam changed profoundly on our first Valentine's Day back together.
05:49He spent a fortune showering Los Angeles in rose petals. Swept up in this whirlwind of romance,
05:54I nearly believed he had truly changed. Then, one day, I went to the hospital to visit my father.
05:58I saw Liam and a doctor pushing a gurney out.
06:01The person lying on it was Eleanor Sheridan, his childhood sweetheart. Eleanor cradled a newborn
06:05in her arms. Liam, look at our son. He's so cute. Liam wrapped his arms around her gently as if
06:11she were something precious. Thank you for everything. I froze where I stood. His friends
06:19showered him with well wishes. Liam, congratulations. Your wife is truly amazing. You've got a healthy
06:25baby boy now. Liam's expression turned cold. Watch your words. My wife is Chrissy. That's exact
06:34why I can't find out. If this gets out, I will make you pay. At that moment, I pushed the
06:40door
06:40open and walked in. Liam quickly let go of Eleanor. Chrissy, what are you doing here?
06:49I smiled. I came to congratulate you on your son. Chrissy, you've misunderstood. I didn't cheat on
06:55you. Eleanor got pregnant before we remarried. I tried to force her to terminate it, but she
06:59refused. I had no choice but to hide her away. Chrissy, you have to believe me. I did have feelings
07:03for her before, but I don't anymore. You're the one I love. You're the only person I'll ever love in
07:07this lifetime. I walked up to and slapped her. Eleanor's tears streamed down. Chrissy, I know you
07:14hate me, but the baby is innocent. Please don't force Liam to cut ties with me. I just want my
07:23child to grow up with a father. I raised my hand again, ready to strike a second time. Liam seized
07:28my wrist meter. Chrissy, that's enough. Ellie's just gave birth. I glanced at him coldly. Didn't you
07:34just say you have no feelings for her now?
