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.
00:32The room was warm. And a thick wool blanket covered my body. And four needle was inserted
00:36into the back of my hand. While a half-empty four bag hung beside the bed, Liam sat next to
00:40me,
00:40gripping my hand tightly. His sharply defined face showed clear signs of exhaustion and worry.
00:45Chrissy, you're finally awake. How do you feel? Is anything bothering you?
00:50I turned my head away, making it clear I didn't want to speak to him or even look at him.
00:55Chrissy, are you blaming me? His voice was slightly hoarse.
00:59This is on me. I've been busy taking care of the baby these past few days, so I didn't get
01:04to you.
01:05You still matter to me. I had someone watching over you in secret. And I specifically told him to
01:09report 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. Don't worry. Isaac dealed with him.
01:22Chip will not have it again. He was still lying. Everything about taking care of the baby and
01:27arranging for someone to watch me was nothing but an excuse. He hadn't changed at all. I lowered my
01:32gaze, hiding the exhaustion in my eyes. 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 daughter!
01:45The accusation was so horrifying that Liam froze. He turned to Eleanor in disbelief.
01:50Is that true?
01:52I didn't.
01:54Eleanor cried, tears streaming down her face.
01:56It'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?
02:06Claire is perfectly fine. She's at the Horton's Manor with Madam Horton. If you don't believe me,
02:11we can call right now and have her brought over. Without any hesitation, Liam immediately ordered
02:16someone to bring Clarissa back from the Horton's Manor. Half an hour later, his men returned with
02:20her.
02:20Mommy!
02:21Clarissa cried as she ran straight into my arms. I froze in place. Clarissa was alive,
02:26so what had been in that mug? Realization struck me instantly, and I looked up at Eleanor.
02:30Eleanor stood behind Liam, her lips curling into a smug, satisfied smile. At that moment,
02:35I understood everything. This had been a setup from the very beginning. Eleanor had deliberately
02:39lied to provoke me, just 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?
02:52I closed my eyes. I had lost, and there was nothing left to say.
02:56Eleanor 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
03:14just to drive Ellie away? You've beaten her into this state, so even I can't defend you anymore.
03:19Guards, slap her a hundred times!
03:21From now on, think carefully before you speak, and 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.
03:32After only two blows, blood seeped from the corner of my mouth.
03:38Mommy! Don't hit! Mommy!
03:40Clarissa cried as she rushed forward.
03:42One of the men swung his arm without hesitation and struck Clarissa across the head.
03:46Her small body was sent flying before crashing to the ground,
03:49blood instantly seeping from her head.
03:51Clary!
03:52I struggled desperately to get up and reach my daughter,
03:54but Liam's men pinned me down so tightly that I couldn't move at all.
03:57Liam simply watched coldly.
04:00Keep going.
04:02Make sure she learns her lesson.
04:04The blows continued one after another, by the time it stopped.
04:08My face was already a bloody mess, and I couldn't even speak.
04:10Only then did Liam seem satisfied.
04:13You and Claire can stay in your room and reflect.
04:16I'll take Ellie to the hospital.
04:18With that, he left while protecting Eleanor.
04:20I crawled toward my daughter.
04:31The small body in my arms didn't move, didn't cry, and had no warmth at all.
04:35Blood slowly flowed from the wound on her head.
04:38I froze as my trembling hand reached for my daughter's pulse.
04:42There was no heartbeat.
04:43My daughter was dead.
04:47My phone suddenly rang.
04:51Chrissy, I've already sent your parents abroad and arranged new identities for them.
04:54They're safe now.
04:55Your visa is ready too.
04:57I picked it up from the post office and I'm outside your house right now.
04:59Are you coming with me?
05:00I didn't say a word.
05:02I held my daughter and walked toward the door.
05:06Outside, a black Rolls Royce was parked on the dark asphalt road.
05:10I got into the car with my daughter in my arms,
05:12then gently kissed her cold little face as tears streamed down uncontrollably.
05:16One year ago, I agreed to remarry.
05:19I agreed to remarry him.
05:22Less than a year after our divorce, Liam came crawling back.
05:25He begged me to remarry him.
05:26When I refused, he had my parents abducted and strapped with explosives.
05:30Chrissy, I love you.
05:32Don't push me to the point where I have to hurt you.
05:3530 seconds.
05:37If 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.
05:52Swept up in this whirlwind of romance, I nearly believed he had truly changed.
05:56Then, 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.
06:05Eleanor cradled a newborn in her arms.
06:07Liam, look at our son.
06:08He's so cute.
06:10Liam wrapped his arms around her gently as if she were something precious.
06:14Thank you for everything.
06:16I froze where I stood.
06:18His friends showered him with well wishes.
06:21Liam, congratulations.
06:23Your wife is truly amazing.
06:25You've got a healthy baby boy now.
06:26Liam's expression turned cold.
06:28Watch your words.
06:31My wife is Chrissy.
06:33That's exact why I can't find out.
06:36If this gets out, I will make you pay.
06:38At that moment, I pushed the door open and walked in.
06:42Liam quickly let go of Eleanor.
06:43Chrissy, what are you doing here?
06:49I smiled.
06:50I came to congratulate you on your son.
06:53Chrissy, you've misunderstood.
06:54I didn't cheat on you.
06:55Eleanor got pregnant before we remarried.
06:57I tried to force her to terminate it, but she refused.
06:59I had no choice but to hide her away.
07:01Chrissy, you have to believe me.
07:02I did have feelings for her before, but I don't anymore.
07:04You're the one I love.
07:05You're the only person I'll ever love in this lifetime.
07:08I walked up and slapped her.
07:10Eleanor's tears streamed down.
07:12Chrissy.
07:13I know you hate me, but the baby is innocent.
07:19Please, don't force Liam to cut ties with me.
07:22I just want my child to grow up with a father.
07:25I raised my hand again, ready to strike a second time.
07:28Liam seized my wrist meter.
07:29Chrissy, that's enough.
07:31Ellie's just gave birth.
07:32I glanced at him coldly.
07:34Didn't you just say you have no feelings for her now?
07:37All right.
07:37All right.
07:38You
