AmusantTranscription
00:00:30Anna's fists clenched. She heard every humiliation from his friend and the man she loved for 10 years. Not a
00:00:37word in her defense. No one knew. Her first marriage wasn't betrayal. It was to save his life.
00:00:43Three years ago, Roland was badly hurt in a car crash, suffered liver damage, and fell into a coma. In
00:00:49there was only one match in all of LA. His price? A one-year contract marriage with Anna. To save
00:00:56him, she signed.
00:00:57One year up. The divorce done. Roland woke up. He threw a fairytale wedding. Made Anna his wife. She thought
00:01:04she married for love.
00:01:07She never saw his knife in her back. No time for her to hurt. Roland shoved the door open. Their
00:01:13eyes met. He looked right through her pain.
00:01:16Then he said...
00:01:18So... you know?
00:01:20Before she could speak, the exam room curtain ripped open. There stood Sophia, fragile as glass.
00:01:26Roland rushed over, concern all over his face.
00:01:29You okay, Sophia?
00:01:30I'm fine. Just... still hurts down there.
00:01:35Roland's face went dark. He turned to Anna, voice ice.
00:01:38If you're mad, take it out on me. But you're a doctor. Keep your drama out of work. Don't take
00:01:45it out on her.
00:01:46Anna froze. Was he serious? He cheated. Now he trashed her career. No chance to fight back. Roland scooped Sophia
00:01:53up and strode away.
00:01:57That night, Anna faced the empty mansion alone. She stared at their wedding photo. The dam broke. His vows echoed.
00:02:04A sick joke now. He said...
00:02:06Anna. I've wanted to marry you since I was 16. Now it's finally come true.
00:02:10All that was left? Lies. And a knife in the heart.
00:02:14Heart gone cold, Anna wiped her tears. Snapped a pic of the marriage certificate. Sent it to her lawyer. Draft
00:02:20the papers.
00:02:22But the lawyer's reply was a gut punch.
00:02:25Sorry, Anna. Can't do it. That marriage certificate is a fake.
00:02:36What did you say? A fake? How the hell is that possible? Anna thought it was absurd. Then the lawyer's
00:02:43next text hit.
00:02:45Sorry, the system has no record of your marriage. Instead, Roland legally married a woman named Sophia. Last week. He
00:02:52played you.
00:02:53The color left Anna's face. Her phone slipped. Crashed onto the marble table. Screen cracked. She staggered back. Hit the
00:03:02couch. Body shaking. Eyes empty. Her whole marriage. One big lie.
00:03:09Hours later, Roland walked in. He saw Anna sitting blankly on the sofa. He took off his coat. Sat beside
00:03:16her.
00:03:17It's so late. Why aren't you sleeping? Roland, we need to talk.
00:03:23What's wrong?
00:03:27Still on that?
00:03:31Look, baby. I'm a man. I have needs. Be a good girl and deal with it.
00:03:37Needs? What kind? Screwing your legal wife, Sophia?
00:03:42You know.
00:03:45Two years. You lied for two years.
00:03:50Tell me.
00:03:51What was that piece of paper?
00:03:54A pity prize.
00:03:58You should be grateful.
00:04:00I gave you my life from...
00:04:02Your life?
00:04:05We burned that in the sheets at 16.
00:04:09And the year I was out, who were you sleeping with?
00:04:12We're even.
00:04:13His words stabbed.
00:04:14She lunged.
00:04:15Slapped him.
00:04:17You make me sick.
00:04:20He grabbed her wrist.
00:04:22Grabbed her jaw.
00:04:23Forced her to look.
00:04:24You live in my house.
00:04:26Spend my money and I made you sick.
00:04:28Listen up.
00:04:29Sophia's my wife.
00:04:31Legally.
00:04:32You?
00:04:32You're nothing.
00:04:33In that moment, she went completely cold.
00:04:37The man she loved for ten years was a stranger.
00:04:39No more words.
00:04:41She shoved him away and run.
00:04:43Anna stumbled into the bedroom.
00:04:45Slammed the door.
00:04:46She lay on the bed as tears slid down silently.
00:04:49The door opened.
00:04:50Roland climbed in.
00:04:51His arm snurfed around her waist.
00:04:53Get out!
00:04:55Don't touch me!
00:04:56He princed her down.
00:04:58She fought.
00:04:59Get away from me!
00:05:00You liar!
00:05:01You're disgusting!
00:05:02Disgusting?
00:05:04I'm cleaner than you've ever been.
00:05:07During the struggle, Anna's hand swept the nightstand.
00:05:11Hit something.
00:05:13She looked down.
00:05:14Her blood ran cold.
00:05:15In the trash.
00:05:16A used condom.
00:05:17Some hairs that weren't hers.
00:05:19Rage.
00:05:20Pure white rage.
00:05:21She shoved him off.
00:05:22Grabbed a pillow.
00:05:23Smashed it at him.
00:05:25Get out!
00:05:26I never want to see you again!
00:05:28Don't push me!
00:05:29He shoved her face into the mattress.
00:05:32Hard.
00:05:33Her vision slung.
00:05:34He ripped her dress.
00:05:35Took her.
00:05:36By force.
00:05:38In despair, Anna stopped fighting.
00:05:40She stared at the ceiling.
00:05:42Tears fell.
00:05:43No strength left.
00:05:45She had to close her eyes and endure the assault.
00:05:47Her tears slipped down.
00:05:50After a few grunts from him, it was over.
00:05:53The room went still.
00:05:54Roland was done.
00:05:55He headed for the shower.
00:05:57Anna slowly pulled herself up.
00:05:59Pain shot through her.
00:06:01But her eyes were clear.
00:06:02Sharp.
00:06:03She walked to the window.
00:06:04Dialed.
00:06:06It's me, Anna.
00:06:08About that fellowship at Johns Hopkins?
00:06:11I'm in.
00:06:18Early the next morning, Anna was already packing to leave.
00:06:21At the hospital, while handling her transfer, a colleague stopped her.
00:06:26A returning patient was asking for her.
00:06:29By name.
00:06:30She rushed to change and get to the department.
00:06:33Only to find the patient asking for her was Sophia.
00:06:36In the exam room, Anna pushed down the storm inside, trying to treat Sophia like any other patient.
00:06:42But Sophia wasn't about to let her off easy.
00:06:45Every word was a dig.
00:06:46Anna?
00:06:47Is everything okay, down there?
00:06:50Nothing serious, just some swelling.
00:06:53Lay off sex for a few days, and you'll be fine.
00:06:56Instead of backing off, Sophia put on a shy act.
00:06:59Every word was a knife to Anna's heart.
00:07:02I can't.
00:07:03My man is intense.
00:07:06Even on video last night, he wanted to...
00:07:08Sophia let the sentence hang, a knowing, boastful look on her face.
00:07:13But I said no.
00:07:15Told him to go find some other woman to take care of it.
00:07:18Anna froze, her gloves half off.
00:07:21The memory of Roland forcing himself on her flashed back, turning her stomach.
00:07:25Doctor?
00:07:26You okay?
00:07:27You look pale.
00:07:28Sophia sounded concerned, but the smugness in her eyes was plain.
00:07:32Anna swallowed the emotions rising in her throat, forcing out the words to end this.
00:07:37I'm fine.
00:07:37If that's all, you can go.
00:07:38Sophia ignored her.
00:07:39She stepped closer, dropped the weak act, and leaned in to whisper.
00:07:43You know what Roland says about you in private, deep down?
00:07:47He's disgusted you were married before.
00:07:50Calls you abused goods.
00:07:53No!
00:07:54That's not true.
00:07:55Anna's reaction only made Sophia's smile wider.
00:07:58Looks like you've been in the dark.
00:08:01Let me tell you another secret, then.
00:08:03Roland says every time he sleeps with you, he have to shower over and over.
00:08:08Says he feels... dirty.
00:08:10Anna trembled with rage at Sophia's words.
00:08:13Well, it's getting late.
00:08:15I'm off to see Roland.
00:08:16He says he wants to try something new with me tonight.
00:08:19After her little victory lap, Sophia turned and left, leaving Anna alone in the humiliation
00:08:24and heartbreak.
00:08:26Outside the window, the city darkened.
00:08:29Lights coming on.
00:08:30Anna stood by the window, hesitating.
00:08:33Finally, she dialed the number she hadn't called in ages.
00:08:37Anna, what's wrong?
00:08:39It was her father, Robert.
00:08:41He sounded surprised.
00:08:42Dad, I'm transferring cities for work.
00:08:45Won't be back for Thanksgiving this year.
00:08:47Why so suddenly?
00:08:49His voice was probing.
00:08:51Roland, is he going with you?
00:08:53No, just me.
00:08:55We're... done.
00:08:56To be precise, she was never really his wife.
00:08:59A long silence on the other end.
00:09:01No concern.
00:09:02Just a cold acknowledgement.
00:09:04Okay.
00:09:05Anna stood there for a moment after hanging up.
00:09:08She remembered a time when her father actually cared.
00:09:11But after Mom died, when the company went under, he started a new family.
00:09:17They became strangers.
00:09:19That's why she learned to take care of herself since her teens.
00:09:21That's also why, when she met Roland, she clung to him like a drowning woman to a lifeline.
00:09:27Loved him completely.
00:09:29Gave everything.
00:09:30After pulling herself together, Anna went home to pack.
00:09:33The moment she opened the door, she heard Sophia's voice from the living room.
00:09:38Roland didn't even bother pretending anymore.
00:09:40Seeing her, he just smiled.
00:09:42Sophia was curious about my place, so I invited her to stay a few days.
00:09:47You don't mind, do you?
00:09:49Anna, am I a problem here?
00:09:52Anna just asked back, her voice flat.
00:09:54What do you think?
00:09:56Sophia didn't know how to reply.
00:09:58She tugged at Roland's sleeve, pouting.
00:10:01Roland, maybe I should go.
00:10:04Anna doesn't seem to like me.
00:10:05Sophia made to leave, but Roland pulled her back.
00:10:09Anna, she's only staying a few days.
00:10:12You're okay with that, right?
00:10:13Anna looked at the man she thought she could lean on forever.
00:10:16At this home she thought would shelter her, and suddenly smiled.
00:10:20Of course not.
00:10:21I don't mind at all.
00:10:22Sophia immediately lashed on Roland's arm, not hiding her victory.
00:10:27Really?
00:10:27You're the best, Anna.
00:10:29Anna didn't mind, because she was leaving.
00:10:32After this, Roland could bring home whoever he wanted.
00:10:35It meant nothing to her.
00:10:36This calm Aunt Anna felt like a stranger to Roland.
00:10:40He expected tears, screaming, a scene.
00:10:44Not this easy agreement.
00:10:46Anna couldn't be bothered with them anymore.
00:10:49She headed straight for the bedroom to pack.
00:10:51Just as she closed her suitcase, Roland walked in.
00:10:54He looks at the mess and frowns.
00:10:57Honey, what are you doing?
00:11:04Packing my things.
00:11:06Anna didn't look at Roland once, her tone ice cold.
00:11:10Making room for you two.
00:11:11Roland's face darkens as he slams a hand on her suitcase.
00:11:15Stop the drama.
00:11:16Where else are you going to go?
00:11:18You've got nobody but me.
00:11:19Anna pauses.
00:11:21Her voice is ice.
00:11:23That's none of your business.
00:11:24Roland laughed in sheer anger.
00:11:26As if suddenly remembering something, he released the suitcase.
00:11:31Then, he pulled out an exquisite, vintage sapphire pendant.
00:11:35Fine, leave.
00:11:39But what about this?
00:11:41You giving up on this too?
00:11:43Anna freezes the moment she sees it.
00:11:45It's her mother's keepsake.
00:11:47Three years back, when Roland was dying in that hospital bed,
00:11:51she gave it to him, for luck, for him to pull through.
00:11:56Who would have thought he'd use it against her like this?
00:11:59Give it back to me.
00:12:02Roland smirks.
00:12:03He finally has her where he wants her.
00:12:05Sure, but you're not a child anymore.
00:12:08Running away is for kids, don't you think?
00:12:11He has her cleaned.
00:12:12All that pain, that helplessness, trapped.
00:12:14Seeing her stuck, Roland stood out of the bedroom like he'd already won.
00:12:19The next few days, Anna was stuck in that villa.
00:12:22She had to watch.
00:12:23Watch Rowand and Sophia all over each other, not giving a damn.
00:12:27In her living room, in the garden,
00:12:30posying up, touching like she wasn't even there.
00:12:33And every night, through the wall, those sounds, the gasp, the moan, they wouldn't stop.
00:12:41She'd curl into a ball, pull the covers over her head, trying to shut it out.
00:12:46If it wasn't for her mom's necklace, she'd have been out of there.
00:12:50Not a chance she'd stay and take this.
00:12:52Late one night, after he was done with Sophia,
00:12:55Roland, still in his silk robe, just shoved her door open.
00:12:58No knock, nothing.
00:13:00Sophia can't sleep.
00:13:02Make her a hot tortie.
00:13:04She almost said no, but her eyes landed on that necklace.
00:13:07Right there on his chest, she bit down the shame and nodded.
00:13:11Okay.
00:13:12Anna made the drink in the kitchen and brought it to the bedroom.
00:13:16Before she can sleep, the door is kicked open with a bang.
00:13:20Roland is livied.
00:13:21He yanks her out of bed by the collar.
00:13:23What did you put in it?
00:13:24Sophia is throwing non-stop.
00:13:26She shakes her head, but it only fuels his rage.
00:13:29Don't lie!
00:13:30Who else could it be?
00:13:31You're a doctor, and you're drugging people out of jealousy.
00:13:35Get up.
00:13:38You're coming to the hospital with us.
00:13:40He's screaming, dragging her out like a criminal.
00:13:42Her legs smashed into the cabinet corner.
00:13:45Blood welled up fast.
00:13:47But Roland, his eyes were on Sophia.
00:13:50He didn't even glance at the cut.
00:13:52Not a pause.
00:13:53Nothing.
00:13:54In the hospital hallway, Anna sits barefoot in her nightgown.
00:13:58She sat there alone.
00:14:00Sat until the blood on her leg went stiff and dry.
00:14:03Roland and Sophia were still shut in the doctor's room.
00:14:06Clenching her teeth against the pain.
00:14:09She limped to the door.
00:14:10And heard it.
00:14:11The worst of it.
00:14:12Inside, Roland was holding Sophia's hand.
00:14:16A stupid grin on his face.
00:14:18This is amazing, Sophia.
00:14:20You're pregnant.
00:14:21I promise.
00:14:22This child will be my only heir.
00:14:24Sophia's eyes lit up with this vicious joy.
00:14:27But she covered it fast.
00:14:28Playing weak.
00:14:29She started talking about Anna.
00:14:32But when Anna was pregnant, you made sure she had that accident.
00:14:36I thought you hated kids.
00:14:38Their words hit Anna like shards of ice, stabbing deep, freezing her from the inside out.
00:14:43In that room, the man she'd loved for ten years, with that voice she knew so well, said the most
00:14:50heartless thing.
00:14:51She can't compare to you.
00:14:52You're clean.
00:14:53Only a woman like you deserves to carry my legacy.
00:15:03Outside the door, Anna stands frozen.
00:15:06The truth hits her like a lightning bolt.
00:15:09The child she lost wasn't an accident at all.
00:15:14Remember six months ago, when she first tested positive, she was overjoyed.
00:15:19She thought she was finally going to have their baby.
00:15:22Then some damn servant bumps into her on the stairs, and she fell.
00:15:30When she woke up, Roland looked regretful as he told her the baby was gone.
00:15:35She was wrecked, fell into a deep depression.
00:15:39Roland was the one stuck to her day and night, holding her, whispering empty comforts.
00:15:45Don't cry, honey.
00:15:46We'll have another baby later.
00:15:49She's been blaming herself this whole damn time.
00:15:52How messed up is that?
00:15:55Turns out it was all Roland's little arrangement.
00:15:58Just because he couldn't stand that she'd been married, thought she was used goods, and didn't deserve his kid.
00:16:04But she told him a thousand times that previous marriage was a sham.
00:16:09She'd never slept with another man.
00:16:12Roland said he believed her, but deep down, never bought it.
00:16:16Think about how bad she'd hurt back then, and how cold and fake Roland's been.
00:16:21A surge of nausea hit her, retching dryly.
00:16:25The noise made Roland and Sylvia look over.
00:16:28Roland steps out, takes one look at Anna, a damn mess, and not a flicker of concern.
00:16:34Just irritation.
00:16:35What's wrong?
00:16:37He goes to reach for her, but then a shriek from behind cuts through.
00:16:43Roland, my stomach hurts so bad.
00:16:48Roland yanks his hand back and wraps an arm around Sophia, all worried and fussing.
00:16:53So, her whole breakdown, her heartache, her damn humiliation, all of it means nothing next to Sophia's little whipper.
00:17:02On a late night street in L.A., the cold wind cut right through Anna, chilling her to the bone.
00:17:09She barely takes two steps, before a hard crack to the back of her head.
00:17:14Everything goes black.
00:17:16Except with her hands and feet bound tight in rough rope.
00:17:20Mouth taped shut.
00:17:21Can't make a sound.
00:17:23Before she can even think, someone slams into her gut.
00:17:26Pain explodes.
00:17:28Cold sweat instantly soaks her forehead.
00:17:31Then a bunch of thugs swarm her, kicking and punching the crap out of her on the ground.
00:17:36Every hit meant to break her.
00:17:38No holding back.
00:17:41No escape.
00:17:42She could only curl into a ball and endure the violence.
00:17:46Only when her lips split and bleeding, insides feeling shredded, do they finally stop.
00:17:53She vaguely heard the thugs reporting to someone.
00:17:56Still no blood after that, but she really isn't pregnant.
00:18:01After a chilling silence, a voice she knew all to know pierced the air.
00:18:09Hear that, Sophia?
00:18:10She isn't pregnant.
00:18:21Hear that, Sophia?
00:18:23She isn't pregnant.
00:18:24Just take care of the baby.
00:18:25Anna struggles, trying to get up to hear better.
00:18:28A thug kicks her back down.
00:18:31She can't get up.
00:18:32Sir, any more orders?
00:18:34No.
00:18:36Phone keeps talking, but Anna just hears ringing.
00:18:39She can't listen anymore.
00:18:41Thugs leave.
00:18:42Laughing.
00:18:43Everything goes quiet.
00:18:45Lying on the cold floor.
00:18:47Tears and blood mix.
00:18:48Anna lets out a low, bitter laugh.
00:18:52That boy who promised to protect her forever.
00:18:54That man who'd hurt when she frowned.
00:18:58The one she loved for ten years.
00:19:01He died in that crash three years ago.
00:19:04After a long time, Roland shows up.
00:19:07He unties her fast, full of fake worry.
00:19:10Came as soon as I heard you were taken.
00:19:12You okay, babe?
00:19:14Anna gives a bitter smile.
00:19:15No strength to call him out.
00:19:17Seeing Anna like this, Roland panics.
00:19:20Looks away.
00:19:22It's over.
00:19:22Let's go home.
00:19:27Maybe from guilt, Roland stays two days.
00:19:30Takes good care of her.
00:19:32Day three.
00:19:33Sophia throws a fit.
00:19:35Wants a vacation.
00:19:36Roland looks stuck.
00:19:38But Anna's suddenly understanding.
00:19:40I'm fine.
00:19:43Go.
00:19:44Roland hesitates.
00:19:46For real.
00:19:47I knew you'd get it.
00:19:49Rest up.
00:19:50I'll be back soon.
00:19:51After he leaves,
00:19:53Anna puts the pendant into the box.
00:19:55She sends the nanny away quietly.
00:19:58Hurts all over.
00:19:59But she gets out of bed.
00:20:01The training group leaves this afternoon.
00:20:03Can't be late.
00:20:04She packs her stuff.
00:20:06Drags herself to the door.
00:20:08When she holds the doorknob.
00:20:10Finally breathes out.
00:20:12All this is finally ending.
00:20:14One last look at the mansion that trapped her for years.
00:20:19She turns the knob.
00:20:21Bang.
00:20:22Suitcase hits the floor hard.
00:20:24Anna's face goes white.
00:20:25She stares ahead, shocked.
00:20:27You've got to be kidding me.
00:20:38A bunch of guys in black are at the door.
00:20:41Roland's right in front.
00:20:42Face all cold and smug.
00:20:44Anna.
00:20:46You think you can just walk out on me?
00:20:48He closes in.
00:20:50Grabs her chin.
00:20:51Forces her to look up.
00:20:52His voice is ice.
00:20:54You really wanted to leave me?
00:20:58Every move you make, I know about it.
00:21:01Anna freezes.
00:21:02He's been watching her.
00:21:04From the very first thought.
00:21:07Roland.
00:21:09You cheated.
00:21:10Brought Sophia home.
00:21:12Did whatever you wanted.
00:21:13Humiliated me.
00:21:14And that's still not enough.
00:21:15I can't even leave.
00:21:16Seeing the look on her face, Roland is speechless.
00:21:19He's got nothing.
00:21:20A harsh ringtone shatters the silence.
00:21:23It's Sophia, calling to hurry Roland along.
00:21:26Her call shifts his focus.
00:21:28He hangs up, then takes Anna's phone and her go bag.
00:21:31I'll hold on to these.
00:21:32You need to cool off for a few days.
00:21:34We'll talk when I get back.
00:21:36Before she can process it, he drops the next bomb.
00:21:40Oh, and I quit your job for you at the hospital.
00:21:43No more work.
00:21:45You're staying home.
00:21:46Anna's head snaps up.
00:21:47Disbelief in her eyes.
00:21:49He's just stolen her only career.
00:21:51Her only way out.
00:21:53You can't do that.
00:21:54You have no right to decide for me.
00:21:56I do.
00:21:57You can't do this.
00:21:59Enough.
00:22:00Sophia's waiting.
00:22:01I gotta go.
00:22:02You can't do this.
00:22:04After Roland left, the huge villa suddenly turned into a gilding cage.
00:22:09A bodyguard steps forward.
00:22:11Expressionless.
00:22:12His tone cold and firm.
00:22:15Go back inside, Mrs. Anna.
00:22:16No ID.
00:22:18No phone.
00:22:19No money.
00:22:19Anna was under total house arrest, with no way out.
00:22:22Feeling suffocated and desperate, she walked into the house.
00:22:25The door slammed shut behind her.
00:22:27The next moment, she is brutally shoved onto the sofa by two bodyguards.
00:22:32What are you doing?
00:22:33Let me go.
00:22:34Let me go.
00:22:35Anna struggles and fights back fiercely, but she's no match for their grip.
00:22:39In the struggle, she accidentally scratches one bodyguard's face, instantly enraging him.
00:22:44Smack.
00:22:45A sharp slap lands hard across Anna's cheek.
00:22:48Her head whips sideways.
00:22:49Ears ring.
00:22:51World goes dark.
00:22:52She's stunned.
00:22:53While she's reeling, they talk right over her, not even bothering to whisper.
00:22:57Sofia just said to strip her and film it.
00:22:59Did she say we had to hit her?
00:23:01So what?
00:23:02Who's gonna stop us?
00:23:04Sofia said once Mr. Roland sees the tape, he'll dump this chick for good.
00:23:09Then she's got nobody.
00:23:11We can do whatever we want.
00:23:13The other goon's face splits into a nasty grin, eyes raking over her.
00:23:18No hesitation.
00:23:19Yeah.
00:23:20Let's have ourselves a real party.
00:23:22He pulls out his phone, hits record.
00:23:25The other one, shrugs off his jacket.
00:23:28His move is obvious.
00:23:30He pains her, starts ripping out her clothes.
00:23:33She bucks and twists.
00:23:34He slaps her again.
00:23:36And again.
00:23:37His hand goes for his belt.
00:23:38With a last burst of rage, Anna wrenches free and bolts.
00:23:45Empty LA night.
00:23:46Anna runs, clothes torn, hair wild.
00:23:49Pure panic.
00:23:50Doesn't dare look back.
00:23:52The house is hell.
00:23:53They'll drag her back.
00:23:54Blind with fear, she runs.
00:23:56And blinding headlights hit her full in the face.
00:23:59A black limo, coming fast.
00:24:01Straight at her.
00:24:02No time to move.
00:24:11Anna freezes, shutting her eyes in despair.
00:24:14At her braking point, a car screeched to a halt right in front of her.
00:24:19Revealing a face she never expected to see again.
00:24:23Alexander.
00:24:24Her partner in a brief transaction marriage.
00:24:27Her ex-husband.
00:24:28Get in.
00:24:30Get in.
00:24:31His gaze lingered on her exposed skin before he quickly looked away.
00:24:35He tossed his coat over her shoulders.
00:24:38Then scooped Anna up and into the car.
00:24:41Anna got into the car.
00:24:43The moment the door clicked shut and the villa vanished from the rear view mirror, Anna finally
00:24:49snapped.
00:24:50The terror finally caught up to her.
00:24:53Every horrific detail.
00:24:55The hands on her clothes.
00:24:56The sting of the slap.
00:24:58The sound of the belt unbuckle.
00:25:00Replayed in a loop.
00:25:02Of pure trauma.
00:25:04Her body started trembling uncontrollably.
00:25:06She leaned against the window, shaking like a leaf in the wind.
00:25:10Then, she cried.
00:25:12They flowed in silence.
00:25:14Huge, heavy drops of grief.
00:25:19She bit her lip until it nearly bled, her only sounds being the occasional ragged gasp
00:25:25for air.
00:25:26Alexander glanced at her and said nothing.
00:25:29He raised the partition for her privacy and wordlessly handed her a pack of tissues.
00:25:35Eventually, the storm inside her began to settle.
00:25:39She finally found her voice.
00:25:41Why were you here today?
00:25:44Alexander paused, choosing his words carefully, looking at him a harsh reality.
00:25:52She had gotten into his car.
00:25:54But what now?
00:25:55No ID.
00:25:56No phone.
00:25:57No money.
00:25:58Nowhere to go.
00:25:59No matter what.
00:26:01She heard her own voice.
00:26:03Dry and strained.
00:26:05Thank you for today.
00:26:07If it's possible.
00:26:08She wanted to beg for a place to stay.
00:26:10I have nowhere to go tonight.
00:26:13But the words died in her throat.
00:26:15It was a huge ask for an ex-husband she hadn't seen in two years.
00:26:21Alexander caught her eye, reading her mind.
00:26:24Actually, I came here to find you today.
00:26:27He suddenly spoke.
00:26:28I need your help with something.
00:26:30You need my help?
00:26:32With what?
00:26:34He turned to face her, his expression serious.
00:26:38Grandma's on my case about getting married again, and she really likes you.
00:26:42So if you're willing, I hope we can get remarried.
00:26:46And his eyes slowly widened.
00:26:49Streetlights flashed across his face, a rhythmic dance of light and shadow.
00:26:53It was just like three years ago.
00:26:56He'd made the same cold, calculated proposal then, waiting for her answer.
00:27:03During their year together, he had been the perfect gentleman.
00:27:08Never a line crossed.
00:27:11Honestly, he was a pretty good man to marry.
00:27:14Anna hesitated, then stared out at the passing city.
00:27:18Okay.
00:27:26Alexander's grip tightened.
00:27:28A flash of something, longing, relief, flickered in his eyes before vanishing.
00:27:33They hit the main road just as a silver car approached from the opposite direction.
00:27:38Roland was at the wheel, looking like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders instead of a
00:27:43vacation.
00:27:44Beside him, Sophia was all smiles babbling about their trip.
00:27:48The two cars passed each other in a blur.
00:27:51Roland whipped his head around.
00:27:52His eyes nearly popping out of his head.
00:27:57Roland, what's wrong?
00:27:59What are you looking at?
00:28:01Sophia's voice pulled him back to reality.
00:28:03He turned back.
00:28:05But his hands were shaking on the wheel.
00:28:07No way that was Anna in the car.
00:28:10Her ID and phone are with me.
00:28:12The guards are watching her.
00:28:14There's no way she left.
00:28:15Thinking that, his expression softened at me.
00:28:18He glanced at Sophia and replied.
00:28:21It's nothing.
00:28:23Sophia went back to her phone, scrolling through travel guides.
00:28:26Roland, let's hit the beach first.
00:28:28I found this gorgeous spot for the sunrise.
00:28:31She kept chirping, but Roland was deaf to it.
00:28:36That silhouette, and the look of pure despair in Anna's eyes when he left haunted him.
00:28:42He took a deep breath, trying to shake the feeling.
00:28:49At a red light, he reached for his chest and froze.
00:28:55The pendant was gone.
00:28:56His heart skipped a beat.
00:28:58His face went pale.
00:29:00That tiny spark of doubt exploded into full-blown panic.
00:29:04He couldn't breathe.
00:29:04He yanked the wheel, pulling a violent uterine.
00:29:09Tires screeched, shocking Sophia.
00:29:12Roland, what are you doing?
00:29:13Roland didn't even look at her.
00:29:15I have to go back.
00:29:18Go back?
00:29:20Go back where?
00:29:22The villa?
00:29:23But if we do that, we'll miss our flight.
00:29:25You promised me the sunrise.
00:29:27For the first time, her pouting didn't work.
00:29:30She started sobbing, but he ignored her, flooring the gas pedal.
00:29:35The cars reached to a stop in front of the villa.
00:29:38Roland stormed inside.
00:29:41Anna wasn't in the living room.
00:29:45Anna!
00:29:46He shouted once, but no answer.
00:29:48He grabbed the guard who came running.
00:29:51Where is she?
00:29:58The bodyguard's face pales, his eyes darting toward the door.
00:30:02Sophia is standing there, looking a little...
00:30:06Speak!
00:30:07Roland shouts.
00:30:08Where is she?
00:30:10She ran?
00:30:12Roland's face turns dark.
00:30:14She ran.
00:30:15Ran!
00:30:16What do you mean she ran?
00:30:18Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her?
00:30:20And you still let her get away?
00:30:22Are you useless?
00:30:23The bodyguard cowers, not daring to breathe.
00:30:27Roland kicks the people over.
00:30:29Glass shatters everywhere.
00:30:31Sophia and the bodyguard flinched back.
00:30:34Find her!
00:30:36His voice is almost a roar.
00:30:39Check every lead.
00:30:40Every contact.
00:30:42Tear this city apart if you have to.
00:30:44Just find her.
00:30:47What are you waiting for?
00:30:48Yes, sir.
00:30:50The bodyguard scramble out in a panic.
00:30:54Roland stands amidst the wreckage, chest heaving.
00:30:58Watching him, Sophia is torn between toxic jealousy and cold fear.
00:31:03She has never seen him like this.
00:31:06The man who always stays cool is falling apart over a second-hand woman.
00:31:11Good thing, what she had the guard do didn't come out.
00:31:15Otherwise, she'd be finished.
00:31:19Sophia steadied herself, putting on her usual meek look.
00:31:23Roland, don't be angry.
00:31:25Roland rubs his temples interritively.
00:31:27You always know how to behave.
00:31:29Sophia lowered her head, hiding a smirk, and tested the waters.
00:31:33Honestly, if she left, then she left.
00:31:36It's no big deal.
00:31:38From now on, I'll stay with you.
00:31:41Roland turned sharp.
00:31:42His eyes fixed on her.
00:31:44That look makes Sophia's back turns cold for no reason.
00:31:47What did you just say?
00:31:49Sophia forced a strained smile.
00:31:52I just mean, we're a family now.
00:31:55The three of us.
00:31:57Isn't that enough?
00:31:58Roland's fury erupted.
00:32:00He roared at Sophia.
00:32:02Shut up!
00:32:05Sophia's smile freezes on her face.
00:32:09You...
00:32:10What do you mean?
00:32:12Her voice starts to tremble.
00:32:14We're legally married.
00:32:16I'm your wife, and I'm carrying your child.
00:32:19Roland cuts her off coldly.
00:32:21I only married you to shut you up.
00:32:23You said that was all you wanted.
00:32:25Sophia frees.
00:32:28As for the child,
00:32:30I'll take responsibility, but I can't leave Anna.
00:32:33Don't ever let me hear that again.
00:32:35You can't leave her?
00:32:38Sophia's eyes widen.
00:32:39She can't believe her ears.
00:32:41He locked her up here.
00:32:42Let me trample all over her.
00:32:44And now he says he can't leave her?
00:32:45She wants to scream.
00:32:47What about her?
00:32:48But then she remembered the prenup.
00:32:50If she kicked up a fuss and got divorced,
00:32:52she'd get nothing.
00:32:53For the sake of her cushy life,
00:32:55Sophia swallowed the insult.
00:32:57She lowers her head and softens her voice.
00:32:59Okay, I get it.
00:33:02Don't be mad.
00:33:03I won't say it again.
00:33:05Head bound as she left the living room,
00:33:07Sophia shot Roland a vicious, venomous glare.
00:33:10Roland stood by the window,
00:33:11not caring that Sophia was gone.
00:33:13The villa, empty without Anna,
00:33:15felt extremely hollow.
00:33:16He believed Anna would always be there,
00:33:18no matter what.
00:33:19But now, she's gone.
00:33:26This loss of control feels like a boulder on his chest,
00:33:29suffocating him.
00:33:31Ten years,
00:33:31from 17 to 27,
00:33:34they've been together forever.
00:33:35Anna was part of his DNA.
00:33:37Her importance was never a question.
00:33:39Without her,
00:33:40maybe he would have died long ago.
00:33:42Anna's first marriage was all a sham,
00:33:45just to save him.
00:33:46At least,
00:33:46that's what Roland thought at first.
00:33:48But later,
00:33:49he can't stop himself from overthinking.
00:33:52Where did she live that year?
00:33:53How did she get along with that man?
00:33:55She's beautiful.
00:33:56Would any man really keep his hands off her?
00:33:59Once the seed was planted,
00:34:00it grew like a cancer.
00:34:03Every breakfast became a reminder
00:34:05that she might have shared it with someone else.
00:34:08Even in bed,
00:34:09the thought of her in another man's arms
00:34:11killed his desire instantly.
00:34:13He knew,
00:34:14it was likely all in his head,
00:34:15but he couldn't stop the spiral.
00:34:18Imagination is a sadistic bitch.
00:34:20He hated his mind.
00:34:22And by extension,
00:34:23he hated her for it.
00:34:25Why?
00:34:26Why was he loyal his whole life
00:34:28while she came to him as used goods?
00:34:30These thoughts twisted around his heart
00:34:32like poisonous vines
00:34:33until they wrap around his whole mind.
00:34:36So that night,
00:34:37drunk and bitter,
00:34:38when Sophia confessed her feelings,
00:34:40he didn't push her away.
00:34:42Sophia was the intern,
00:34:43in us,
00:34:44fresh,
00:34:45and looking at him like he was a god.
00:34:48She says it's her first time.
00:34:49She says she only likes him.
00:34:51It was the ego boost he craved,
00:34:53the perfect antidote.
00:34:55That validation became his new drug.
00:34:57But leaving Anna?
00:34:59That was never the plan.
00:35:00He just wanted to hurt her back,
00:35:02to make her feel the same agony he did.
00:35:04He figured once she'd suffered enough,
00:35:07they'd go back to normal.
00:35:08But as time passed by,
00:35:10the anger in his heart,
00:35:11had long since burned down to pure panic.
00:35:14He drops everything.
00:35:15The only mission now,
00:35:17is finding Anna.
00:35:18He hits every spot.
00:35:19Her favorite cafe,
00:35:21the bookstore,
00:35:22her old apartment.
00:35:23He honed it to everyone.
00:35:25Coworkers,
00:35:26friends,
00:35:27even people she hasn't seen in years.
00:35:29Nothing.
00:35:29No one has seen a trace of her.
00:35:32Just like she vanished into thin air.
00:35:39Roland has no idea,
00:35:41that the woman he's hunting for,
00:35:43is right under his nose.
00:35:45Anna sits in the living room,
00:35:47finally clear-headed and calm.
00:35:50The house was still exactly as it was,
00:35:52when she married Alexander.
00:35:54The furniture,
00:35:55the curtains,
00:35:55even that crystal thing on the coffee babel.
00:35:58When they split,
00:35:59she thought never come back again.
00:36:01Yet here she is,
00:36:03by some twist of fate,
00:36:04discussing marriage with the same man,
00:36:07for the second time.
00:36:08Anna.
00:36:10What's wrong?
00:36:12Are you feeling unwell anywhere?
00:36:14Alexander's voice,
00:36:16pulls Anna back from her thoughts.
00:36:17She turns to see him,
00:36:19holding a stack of invitations,
00:36:21waiting patiently for her choice.
00:36:23I'm fine.
00:36:24I just zoned out.
00:36:25Sorry.
00:36:26Right after she arrived,
00:36:28Alexander had the family doctor coming,
00:36:30almost day,
00:36:31to nurse her back.
00:36:33Once she recovered,
00:36:35the wedding plans began.
00:36:36She thought it'd be like last time,
00:36:38just for show.
00:36:40Didn't expect it to be so...
00:36:41real.
00:36:44Alexander explained it to her.
00:36:46It was...
00:36:48grandma's request.
00:36:49She said we did you wrong last time.
00:36:52She wants to make it up to you.
00:36:54Since it's for his grandmother,
00:36:56Anna doesn't push back.
00:36:57She just nods.
00:36:59She sifts through the cards
00:37:01and picks a classic,
00:37:02floral design.
00:37:04Let's go with this one.
00:37:05Alexander takes it,
00:37:06looks at it,
00:37:07and nods.
00:37:09Okay.
00:37:10Meanwhile,
00:37:11Roland was still in his office,
00:37:13going out of his mind
00:37:14because he couldn't find Anna.
00:37:16The secretary walked in.
00:37:18He hoped it was news about Anna.
00:37:21Sir,
00:37:22this isn't about your wife.
00:37:24The secretary treads lightly.
00:37:25The boss has been a ticking time bomb lately.
00:37:28What is it?
00:37:29Say it.
00:37:30We received a wedding invitation for you, sir.
00:37:35Roland rubs his temples,
00:37:36exhausted.
00:37:38What invitation?
00:37:39Cancel it.
00:37:42He's a mess.
00:37:43Unshaden.
00:37:45Dark circles under his eyes.
00:37:46A wedding is the last thing he wants.
00:37:49But...
00:37:49The secretary pauses,
00:37:51then adds,
00:37:53It's...
00:37:54Mr. Alexander's wedding.
00:37:56Roland pauses,
00:37:57then finally relents.
00:38:00I got it.
00:38:02I'll go.
00:38:04He takes the card
00:38:05and flips it open.
00:38:12A ringing phone
00:38:14stops him from reading the card.
00:38:17He sees Sophia on the screen
00:38:19and his face sours.
00:38:23He ignores it
00:38:24until it goes to voicemail.
00:38:26But she's relentless.
00:38:28She calls again immediately.
00:38:30Irritated,
00:38:31he picks up.
00:38:32his voice devoid
00:38:33of any warmth.
00:38:34What is it?
00:38:36Sophia's tearful voice
00:38:37comes through.
00:38:39Roland,
00:38:39where have you been
00:38:41these past few days?
00:38:42Why haven't you come home?
00:38:44I'm scared here alone
00:38:46and I'm not feeling well.
00:38:50Can you come take me
00:38:51to the hospital?
00:38:54Roland's scrowl deepens
00:38:55as he cuts her off.
00:38:56Have the maid take you.
00:38:58I don't want the maid with me!
00:39:01I want you to come back!
00:39:04Roland!
00:39:04His patient snaps.
00:39:06He hangs up on her.
00:39:08The next few days,
00:39:09Roland was searching for Anna
00:39:11like a madman.
00:39:12He didn't let up
00:39:13even on the way
00:39:14on the way
00:39:14to Alexander's wedding.
00:39:16Jack,
00:39:17that surveillance footage,
00:39:18did you find it?
00:39:18Whatever he hears
00:39:20only makes his mood
00:39:22worse.
00:39:23What do you mean
00:39:23you can't find it?
00:39:24The cameras are fine,
00:39:26but the footage of her
00:39:26is just missing?
00:39:27You expect me to believe
00:39:28that's a coincidence?
00:39:30He loosens his tie,
00:39:32looking absolutely haggard.
00:39:36Fine, keep checking.
00:39:38Scour every camera.
00:39:39People don't just
00:39:40vanish into thin air.
00:39:41The car stopped.
00:39:42The driver turns around.
00:39:44Mr. Roland,
00:39:45we're here.
00:39:46Roland nods and steps out,
00:39:48the phone is still
00:39:49to his ear.
00:39:51Ask Anna's colleagues again.
00:39:53See who she contacted.
00:39:54Roland said as he walked in.
00:39:56The wedding was at
00:39:57Alexander's family winery.
00:39:59Okay, keep watching.
00:40:01The second you get any news,
00:40:02let me know.
00:40:03He stops.
00:40:04His whole body went rigid,
00:40:06rooted to the spot.
00:40:08There at the center of the stage
00:40:10stands the happy couple.
00:40:13The man is tall and straight
00:40:15in a white suit.
00:40:16It's Alexander.
00:40:18The woman beside him
00:40:19is in a white gown,
00:40:20her hair up,
00:40:22showing a delicate profile.
00:40:24She's smiling,
00:40:25leaning in to hear
00:40:26what Alexander is saying.
00:40:28It's Anna.
00:40:30His Anna.
00:40:38Roland couldn't believe it.
00:40:40After searching for a month,
00:40:42here she was,
00:40:43in a wedding dress,
00:40:44smiling beside another man.
00:40:46He stared hard at Anna.
00:40:48Anna seemed to sense it.
00:40:50She looked up
00:40:51and met his eyes.
00:40:52Their eyes met.
00:40:54Roland sees her hesitate.
00:40:56She looks surprised
00:40:57for a split second,
00:40:58but then it's gone.
00:40:59Then she looked away
00:41:00and kept talking to Alexander,
00:41:02as if he was nobody.
00:41:04Roland froze.
00:41:05Her icy stare
00:41:06stabbed through his chest.
00:41:08His face went pale.
00:41:09A waiter bumps into him,
00:41:11and he finally snapped out of it.
00:41:13He lunges forward
00:41:14and grabs her wrist.
00:41:15Honey,
00:41:16why are you here?
00:41:17Come home with me.
00:41:18Anna looks at his hand
00:41:20on her wrist,
00:41:21then looks him in the eye.
00:41:23Mr. Roland,
00:41:25today is my wedding.
00:41:26She speaks in a very calm voice.
00:41:29Where do you want me
00:41:29to go with you?
00:41:30The formal title
00:41:31hits him like a punch.
00:41:33Mr. Roland.
00:41:34You actually called him
00:41:35Mr. Roland?
00:41:36You never called me that
00:41:38since 17.
00:41:39You called me Roland,
00:41:41Honey,
00:41:42or even Roland LeBlanc
00:41:44when you were mad,
00:41:45but never this.
00:41:47Anna looked at him
00:41:48calmly and repeated,
00:41:49Mr. Roland,
00:41:50today is my wedding.
00:41:52Anna,
00:41:54don't do this, okay?
00:41:55His voice trembles a little.
00:41:57I messed up.
00:41:58I know I did.
00:42:00I,
00:42:00I don't want that
00:42:02one year of freedom anymore.
00:42:03I take that back.
00:42:05I'll dump Sophia,
00:42:06cut her off,
00:42:08never see her again.
00:42:09Just forgive me this once.
00:42:11Please,
00:42:12come home.
00:42:13But Anna smiles.
00:42:14Mr. Roland,
00:42:15that's between you
00:42:16and your wife.
00:42:17It's got nothing
00:42:18to do with me.
00:42:19Roland's head snaps up.
00:42:21His throat feels
00:42:22like sandpaper.
00:42:24You
00:42:26found out.
00:42:27She doesn't say a word.
00:42:28She doesn't have to.
00:42:30He tries to explain,
00:42:31but the words die
00:42:32in his throat.
00:42:34He thought he'd hidden it well,
00:42:35thought she'd never know
00:42:36he married Sophia.
00:42:37But now,
00:42:39Anna.
00:42:40Guests nearby
00:42:41were staring.
00:42:42Roland didn't care.
00:42:43he charged forward
00:42:44to drag her away.
00:42:46I was just confused
00:42:48for a moment.
00:42:49I,
00:42:49I could explain.
00:42:50Alexander stepped forward,
00:42:52blocking Anna,
00:42:53and yanked her hand
00:42:54from Roland's grasp.
00:42:56Mr. Roland,
00:42:57show some respect.
00:43:05Roland glares at Alexander,
00:43:07fury practically spilling
00:43:09out of him.
00:43:09his fists clenched tight,
00:43:11his voice hissed
00:43:12through his teeth.
00:43:13This is none
00:43:14of your business.
00:43:15Alexander actually smiles
00:43:17when he hears that.
00:43:18Today is our wedding.
00:43:20You're manhandling my wife.
00:43:22I'd say it involves me plenty.
00:43:23Hearing her called wife
00:43:25so sweetly
00:43:26made Roland burn.
00:43:27He opened his mouth
00:43:28to roar,
00:43:29I'm her husband,
00:43:30but the officiator
00:43:31cut him off.
00:43:32Mr. Alexander,
00:43:33Miss Anna,
00:43:34you're ready?
00:43:35Alexander took Anna's waist
00:43:36and turned toward the altar.
00:43:38Roland stood frozen,
00:43:39watching them go.
00:43:40The wedding march began.
00:43:42The white train
00:43:43swept the floor,
00:43:44the skirt swaying,
00:43:45just like when she walked
00:43:47toward him two years ago.
00:43:48The difference was,
00:43:50that time she was
00:43:51walking toward him,
00:43:52her eyes full of joy.
00:43:54This time,
00:43:55he could only watch her
00:43:56walk toward another man,
00:43:58seeing Alexander
00:43:59lean in to kiss her.
00:44:01Roland couldn't hold back.
00:44:03He shout,
00:44:05WAIT!
00:44:06The music cut.
00:44:07All eyes turned to him.
00:44:10He strode forward,
00:44:11voice shaking,
00:44:13but the whole room heard.
00:44:15Anna,
00:44:16you can't marry him.
00:44:18The room erupted.
00:44:19The guests murmuring
00:44:21rose like a tide.
00:44:22Who is that guy?
00:44:26Is that Roland?
00:44:27The CEO?
00:44:28What's going on?
00:44:30Is he trying to steal the bride?
00:44:31Next to Roland,
00:44:32Alexander was ice cold.
00:44:34Mr. Roland,
00:44:36interrupting our wedding
00:44:37like this is truly pathetic.
00:44:40Please leave now.
00:44:42Your wedding?
00:44:44Roland raised his voice
00:44:45and said angry,
00:44:46Listen up, everyone!
00:44:48I have something to say!
00:44:51This woman,
00:44:53Anna,
00:44:54is my wife.
00:44:56We held our wedding
00:44:56three years ago.
00:44:58I believe someone
00:44:59attended that ceremony.
00:45:01so my wife
00:45:03cannot marry him.
00:45:05As soon as he said this,
00:45:07the room instantly
00:45:08fell silent.
00:45:09Anna tried to argue,
00:45:11but a large hand
00:45:12yanked her close.
00:45:13Alexander shielded Anna
00:45:15and retorted to Roland,
00:45:16You mean your wife?
00:45:19Her husband,
00:45:21from beginning
00:45:22to end,
00:45:24has been me.
00:45:33The crowd below
00:45:34erupted into a frenzy
00:45:36of hushed gossip.
00:45:37Alexander said it himself.
00:45:38They're just renewing
00:45:40their vows.
00:45:41Yeah,
00:45:41they just want a
00:45:42do-over.
00:45:43A proper celebration.
00:45:45So what the hell
00:45:46is Roland's problem?
00:45:47No, it's not like that,
00:45:49Anna.
00:45:49Security!
00:45:50Security!
00:45:51Two guards rush in,
00:45:52grab Roland,
00:45:53and start dragging him out.
00:45:54Roland panicked.
00:45:56He struggled and shouted,
00:45:58Anna!
00:45:58Say something!
00:46:00Tell them about
00:46:01our ten years
00:46:01we've been together
00:46:02since we were seventeen!
00:46:04Tell them!
00:46:05Anna says nothing.
00:46:06Alexander speaks.
00:46:07It's just history.
00:46:08He paused,
00:46:09then took Anna's hand.
00:46:11Today is our wedding.
00:46:12Sorry for this little
00:46:13side sign.
00:46:15But it's a good reminder.
00:46:16A wife this beautiful,
00:46:18I'll cherish her every day.
00:46:19The guests chuckle,
00:46:21then break into applause.
00:46:22The music swells.
00:46:23Alexander and Anna
00:46:25share a kiss.
00:46:26The whole drama vanishes,
00:46:27like it was nothing.
00:46:29But Alexander's words
00:46:30had dealt Roland
00:46:31a soul-crushing blow.
00:46:32Ancient history,
00:46:33just the X.
00:46:34Their ten years,
00:46:36dismissed in a sentence.
00:46:37And Anna,
00:46:38she didn't flinch.
00:46:39She didn't argue.
00:46:40Roland went limp,
00:46:41his head spinning.
00:46:42She's moved on,
00:46:44completely.
00:46:44She really didn't
00:46:45want him anymore.
00:46:52Roland's eyes went wide,
00:46:54as Alexander leaned in
00:46:55for the kiss.
00:46:56His vision went red,
00:46:58felt like someone
00:46:59was ripping his heart out.
00:47:00They'd kissed a thousand times,
00:47:02their shy first,
00:47:03their heated nights.
00:47:05But he never thought
00:47:06he'd be stuck
00:47:06watching someone else do it.
00:47:08This was what a truly
00:47:09broken heart felt like.
00:47:11Roland stood paralyzed,
00:47:12frozen in time.
00:47:14A thought struck him.
00:47:15If this kills him,
00:47:16how the hell did she survive
00:47:18pulling our wedding ring
00:47:19out of Sophia?
00:47:20Back then,
00:47:20he was a bastard.
00:47:22All excuses,
00:47:22all about protecting Sophia.
00:47:24Then he moved Sophia in,
00:47:25rubbed their affair
00:47:26right in Anna's face.
00:47:28And then there was
00:47:29that marriage certificate.
00:47:30She wanted a home so bad.
00:47:32How'd it feel to find out
00:47:33hers was built on lies?
00:47:35He couldn't take
00:47:36any more of this.
00:47:37A cold breeze hit him,
00:47:39blurring his vision.
00:47:40He touched his cheek.
00:47:41It was wet.
00:47:42Tears.
00:47:44It was a long day.
00:47:46Roland didn't know
00:47:47how he went home.
00:47:48Only one thought
00:47:49hammered in his head.
00:47:50Dump Sophia.
00:47:52End it now.
00:47:52Fast.
00:47:53Maybe there was still
00:47:54a chance to get Anna back.
00:47:56He was passing
00:47:57the security room
00:47:58when he heard
00:47:58a sharp gasp from inside.
00:48:00He frowned
00:48:01and walked over.
00:48:02Two maids were standing
00:48:03in front of the screen
00:48:04and both jumped.
00:48:05What are you looking at?
00:48:07Nothing.
00:48:08Their hesitation
00:48:09set him off.
00:48:10His voice turned ice cold.
00:48:11What is it exactly?
00:48:12I...
00:48:13It's just...
00:48:14I lost my wallet,
00:48:15Mr. Roland.
00:48:16I was checking the footage
00:48:18to find it.
00:48:19I didn't expect to see...
00:48:20To see this.
00:48:22What happened?
00:48:23She took in his darkening expression
00:48:25and stammered.
00:48:26You'd better look for yourself.
00:48:28Roland shouldered past them
00:48:30and hit play.
00:48:31It was the living room feed.
00:48:33Roland saw two guards
00:48:34had Anna pinned on the sofa,
00:48:36trying to force themselves on her.
00:48:37One of the bastards
00:48:39backhanded her hard
00:48:40for fighting back.
00:48:41Miss Sophia wanted a video
00:48:43of us sleeping with her.
00:48:45Is it hitting her over here?
00:48:46What are you scared of?
00:48:48Sophia said once Roland
00:48:50sees the video,
00:48:51he'll toss this trash
00:48:52to the curb for good.
00:48:53You think anyone's
00:48:54going to protect her then?
00:48:55True.
00:48:56Let's have some real fun
00:48:57tonight then.
00:48:58The footage cut to black.
00:49:01Roland's blood turned to ice.
00:49:03Rage consumed him,
00:49:05his eyes burning
00:49:06with a murderous fire.
00:49:14Only now did he realize
00:49:15the hell Anna endured.
00:49:17The day she left,
00:49:18the men's own words
00:49:19spilled it all.
00:49:20The bitch pulling the strings,
00:49:22his perfect,
00:49:23innocent little Sophia.
00:49:24Sophia, how dare you?
00:49:26He ground the words out,
00:49:28teeth clenched.
00:49:29The maids backed away,
00:49:30terrified by the sheer
00:49:31malice on his face.
00:49:33A storm was coming,
00:49:34and Sophia still had no idea.
00:49:37She waltzed in,
00:49:38humming,
00:49:39arms loaded with shopping bags.
00:49:41Best damn mood ever.
00:49:43The lights in the living room
00:49:44were off.
00:49:45The curtains were drawn.
00:49:46The whole room
00:49:47was sunk in darkness.
00:49:49Only the glowing cherry
00:49:50of Roland's cigarette
00:49:51flickered in the dark.
00:49:52The vibe hit her.
00:49:54Her hum died in her throat.
00:49:55She tried to shove the bags
00:49:57behind her.
00:49:59Failed,
00:49:59and forced a fake smile.
00:50:01Roland,
00:50:02you're home early.
00:50:04You should have told me.
00:50:05I would have had dinner ready.
00:50:08Roland didn't answer.
00:50:09He just looked at her.
00:50:10His eyes were predatory,
00:50:12cold enough to make
00:50:13her skin crawl.
00:50:15Her smile faltered,
00:50:16but she still tried
00:50:18to play the cute card.
00:50:19What's wrong?
00:50:22Why are you looking
00:50:23at me like
00:50:24that?
00:50:25In a flash,
00:50:26his hand was around
00:50:27her throat,
00:50:28squeezing hard.
00:50:29Sophia's face turned purple.
00:50:31Shopping bags
00:50:32crashed to the floor.
00:50:33She clawed at his arm,
00:50:34but his grip was like iron.
00:50:37Ro-
00:50:37Roland!
00:50:38She wheezed,
00:50:40desperate sounds
00:50:40escaping her throat.
00:50:42What are you doing?
00:50:44Roland leaned in,
00:50:45his bloodshart eyes
00:50:46inches from hers.
00:50:47You've been playing me
00:50:49for a long time.
00:50:50Aren't you tired?
00:50:52I-
00:50:53I don't know
00:50:54what you're talking about.
00:50:56Just as her eyes
00:50:57started to roll back,
00:50:59Roland let go.
00:51:00She collapsed,
00:51:01gasping for air
00:51:02and coughing.
00:51:03Roland looked down
00:51:04at her with disgust
00:51:05and threw his phone
00:51:06at her feet.
00:51:07It contained everything
00:51:08he had people
00:51:09investigate about her.
00:51:10Your innocence
00:51:11was fake,
00:51:12and Himam was repaired,
00:51:14and even Anna
00:51:15was driven away by you.
00:51:17You did all this.
00:51:19Did you ever consider
00:51:20the price?
00:51:21His voice was low,
00:51:23but the authority
00:51:23in it was crushing.
00:51:25Sophia turned ghost white.
00:51:27Roland,
00:51:28it's not like that.
00:51:30Listen to me!
00:51:32I was just confused
00:51:33for a moment.
00:51:34I-
00:51:35He didn't let her finish.
00:51:38A solid kick
00:51:39sent her flying.
00:51:46Just confused for a moment.
00:51:49You hired thugs
00:51:50to humiliate her.
00:51:51You call that a mistake?
00:51:53I was wrong.
00:51:54I was really wrong.
00:51:57Roland,
00:51:58spare me
00:51:59for the sake
00:52:00of your child.
00:52:01I'll change.
00:52:02I swear.
00:52:03I'll apologize
00:52:04to Anna.
00:52:05I'll do anything
00:52:06to make it up to her.
00:52:09Make it up to her.
00:52:12Roland let out
00:52:13a cold laugh,
00:52:14and his voice
00:52:15suddenly rose.
00:52:16She's married
00:52:17to someone else
00:52:18because of you!
00:52:19How the hell
00:52:20do you make up
00:52:21for that?
00:52:24Sophia froze.
00:52:26Married
00:52:26to someone else?
00:52:31The news
00:52:32caught her off guard,
00:52:33but a flicker
00:52:34of twisted joy
00:52:34lit up her eyes.
00:52:36Her delight
00:52:37was so obvious
00:52:38it made
00:52:39Roland's stomach
00:52:39turn.
00:52:40She was thrilled.
00:52:42Thrilled that
00:52:42Anna was gone
00:52:43for good,
00:52:44and that he was
00:52:45finally hers alone.
00:52:46True to form.
00:52:48She crawled back
00:52:49to him,
00:52:50looking up
00:52:50with a pathetic
00:52:51hope.
00:52:52Roland,
00:52:53since she's
00:52:54married,
00:52:55we can just
00:52:56forget the past,
00:52:57right?
00:53:00I only did it
00:53:01because I love you.
00:53:02Let's just be a family
00:53:04and live our lives.
00:53:07Listening to her
00:53:08devotion,
00:53:09Roland laughed
00:53:10as if she'd just
00:53:11told the funniest
00:53:12joke on earth.
00:53:14Love.
00:53:16A snake like you
00:53:17doesn't get to
00:53:18use that word.
00:53:20He kicked Sophia
00:53:21aside and dust
00:53:22off his hands.
00:53:23The door opened,
00:53:25and two men
00:53:25were shoved inside.
00:53:28Sophia looked up,
00:53:29and all the blood
00:53:30in her body
00:53:31turned cold.
00:53:33It was her two
00:53:34bodyguards,
00:53:35beaten,
00:53:36blooded,
00:53:37and staring at her
00:53:38with hollow eyes.
00:53:40Roland.
00:53:41Her voice
00:53:42started shaking.
00:53:44You can't do this.
00:53:45I'm carrying your
00:53:47child.
00:53:48Your own blood.
00:53:50Roland's face
00:53:50remained pure malice.
00:53:52The baby
00:53:53meant nothing
00:53:54to him now.
00:53:55Everything you did
00:53:55to Anna,
00:53:56I'll pay you back
00:53:57a hundred times over.
00:53:59After saying that,
00:54:00he turned and walked out.
00:54:02He didn't look back.
00:54:04Not at her sobs,
00:54:05her pleas,
00:54:06not even at her
00:54:07ears failing,
00:54:08desperate scream.
00:54:10Meanwhile,
00:54:11Alexander and Anna's
00:54:12wedding had come
00:54:12to a perfect close.
00:54:14As they settled
00:54:15into the car,
00:54:16Alexander turned to her.
00:54:19Tired?
00:54:22Not tired.
00:54:23Alexander nodded.
00:54:24Then let's go home.
00:54:26When they arrived,
00:54:27Anna realized
00:54:28this wasn't
00:54:29their old place.
00:54:31Where is this?
00:54:32She asked,
00:54:33looking puzzled.
00:54:35He took her hand
00:54:36and led her
00:54:37to the front
00:54:37of a stunning villa.
00:54:39Our new home.
00:54:41One of your wedding gifts.
00:54:44Anna stood at the entrance,
00:54:46speechless.
00:54:48Come on.
00:54:50He smiled
00:54:51and opened the door.
00:54:52The lights
00:54:53hummed on automatically,
00:54:55bathing the space
00:54:56in a warm,
00:54:57inviting glow.
00:54:58Anna stepped inside.
00:55:00Everything,
00:55:01the layout,
00:55:02the decor,
00:55:03even the colors,
00:55:04was exactly her style.
00:55:06She was genuinely moved.
00:55:08Did you
00:55:10prepare all of this?
00:55:13Do you like it?
00:55:16Anna turned around
00:55:17and looked at him.
00:55:18I really do.
00:55:20Thank you.
00:55:21Alexander gave her
00:55:22a gentle smile
00:55:23and checked his watch.
00:55:25You should rest early.
00:55:27Master bedroom's upstairs.
00:55:29I'll take the guest room.
00:55:30The guest room,
00:55:31just like three years ago.
00:55:33She got the bed,
00:55:34he got the couch.
00:55:36Every single day.
00:55:38But this time,
00:55:39she reached out
00:55:40and caught his sleeve.
00:55:42Stunned,
00:55:43Alexander stopped
00:55:44and looked at her.
00:55:48Stay tonight.
00:55:50His eyes narrowed,
00:55:51his pulse visible
00:55:52in his neck.
00:55:53Then Anna went on.
00:55:55I already...
00:55:58know.
00:55:59His voice ruspy,
00:56:00eyes drilling into hers.
00:56:02He blusted out,
00:56:03anxious and eager.
00:56:05Know what?
00:56:07I already know.
00:56:11I already know.
00:56:15I already know.
00:56:16Anna looked at him.
00:56:17Grandma told me,
00:56:18you didn't marry me by chance
00:56:20or because of her pressure.
00:56:24It's because
00:56:26you like me.
00:56:29The day before the wedding,
00:56:30Grandma had shown her
00:56:31an old album.
00:56:32The cover was worn white
00:56:33with age.
00:56:34Anna opened it.
00:56:36It's a photo.
00:56:37A boy,
00:56:37a girl,
00:56:38kids,
00:56:39under a tree.
00:56:41This boy is Alexander
00:56:42and this girl is you.
00:56:44Anna's face went blank.
00:56:46She drew a total blank.
00:56:48Grandma told her
00:56:49that when her mom was alive,
00:56:51she brought Anna
00:56:51around Alex's all the time.
00:56:54Little Anna
00:56:54had a real crush
00:56:55on the boy.
00:56:56Followed him
00:56:57like a puppy.
00:56:58Said she'd marry him
00:56:59one day.
00:57:00Everybody forgot
00:57:01that kid's stuff.
00:57:02Anna did too.
00:57:03But Alex,
00:57:04never let it go.
00:57:05Took it to heart.
00:57:06Then Anna took up
00:57:07with Roland.
00:57:09Alex couldn't stomach that.
00:57:10So he,
00:57:11tied the knot.
00:57:12his way.
00:57:14He hoped it'd ring a bell
00:57:16that you two still had a shot.
00:57:18But after a year,
00:57:19her heart was still
00:57:20with Roland.
00:57:21So he backed off,
00:57:23choosing to let her be happy.
00:57:29Anna looked at him,
00:57:30the man who was always there
00:57:32to catch her.
00:57:33Her eyes stung with tears.
00:57:35This time,
00:57:37let's try.
00:57:37I want to give us a chance.
00:57:40His eyes lit up.
00:57:41A lifetime of longing
00:57:43finally came to fruition.
00:57:45He looked at her quietly
00:57:46for a long time.
00:57:47Then he cupped her face
00:57:49and pressed a soft,
00:57:50regretful kiss
00:57:51to her lips.
00:57:58The night was young.
00:58:00The newly united couple
00:58:01didn't sleep a wince.
00:58:04On the other side of town,
00:58:06Roland's villa
00:58:06was a scene
00:58:07from a nightmare.
00:58:08The moonlight
00:58:09fell across the floor.
00:58:11Sophia was curled
00:58:13on the ground,
00:58:14shaking.
00:58:14Her face was pale.
00:58:16That baby?
00:58:17Her ticket up?
00:58:19Gone.
00:58:19Flushed away.
00:58:21Her dress was soaked
00:58:22in blood,
00:58:23staining the carpet
00:58:24a dark,
00:58:24permanent crimson.
00:58:25Her lips were cracked,
00:58:27her eyes vacant,
00:58:28a low whimmer
00:58:29escaping her throat.
00:58:33Footsteps approached.
00:58:34She looked up weakly
00:58:35to find Roland
00:58:36hulling over her.
00:58:38Roland,
00:58:39please take me
00:58:41to the hospital.
00:58:43Her voice was
00:58:43a dying whisper.
00:58:44Am I dying?
00:58:45I'm really scared.
00:58:46Roland let out
00:58:47a cold laugh.
00:58:52Scared?
00:58:55When you sent people
00:58:57to assault Anna,
00:58:59did you think about
00:59:00how scared she was?
00:59:04this is just
00:59:05the warm-up.
00:59:07Every bit of pain
00:59:08you gave her,
00:59:08you're getting back double.
00:59:10Sophia stared at him.
00:59:12Then,
00:59:13she started to laugh.
00:59:14A dry,
00:59:15broken laugh
00:59:16rasped from her throat.
00:59:18Roland,
00:59:19you think you're
00:59:20being devoted now?
00:59:23She struggled
00:59:24to her feet,
00:59:25a crazed glint
00:59:26in her eyes.
00:59:27You were the one
00:59:28who slept with me
00:59:29and married me.
00:59:30You brought me
00:59:31into her face.
00:59:33You made her
00:59:34serve me tea
00:59:35while she watched
00:59:37us fuck,
00:59:38and you're the one
00:59:38who beat her
00:59:39half to death
00:59:40because I said so.
00:59:42She looked at him
00:59:43with a mocking sneer.
00:59:45Roland,
00:59:46compared to you,
00:59:48I'm an amateur.
00:59:51You think punishing me
00:59:53buys you
00:59:54her forgiveness?
00:59:56Her face twisted
00:59:58into a triumphant grin.
01:00:05I'm telling you,
01:00:07forget it.
01:00:08Anna will never
01:00:08forgive you.
01:00:10Never.
01:00:13She hit a nerve
01:00:14and Roland snapped.
01:00:16Shut up!
01:00:20She just laughed
01:00:22even harder.
01:00:23Scared, Roland?
01:00:24Don't even dream
01:00:25of dumping me
01:00:26for her.
01:00:27We're going
01:00:27to rot together.
01:00:29In the eyes
01:00:30of the law,
01:00:31I'm your wife.
01:00:32You will never
01:00:33get rid of me.
01:00:34The words hit him.
01:00:36He stumbled,
01:00:37his eyes trembling.
01:00:38Before Sophia
01:00:39could even gloat,
01:00:40he suddenly laughed.
01:00:43You're right.
01:00:46Legally,
01:00:46we are husband
01:00:47and wife,
01:00:48so if I lock you
01:00:49in a psych ward
01:00:50for life,
01:00:51no one can say
01:00:52a word,
01:00:53right?
01:00:56Sophia's blood
01:00:56ran cold.
01:00:59No.
01:01:00You can't.
01:01:02Roland snapped
01:01:03his fingers.
01:01:04A few bodyguards
01:01:05stepped inside.
01:01:06Take her.
01:01:08Lock her up
01:01:09in the psych ward.
01:01:11Roland,
01:01:12you can't.
01:01:13I'm your wife.
01:01:13You can't do this
01:01:14to me.
01:01:15A guard clapped
01:01:16a hand over Sophia.
01:01:17They hauled her
01:01:18straight out,
01:01:19through the hall
01:01:20and toward the front door.
01:01:21The night outside
01:01:23was an abyss,
01:01:24swallowing her whole.
01:01:28Even with Sophia gone,
01:01:30Roland felt no relief.
01:01:31The wedding photo,
01:01:33their table,
01:01:35her rocking chair,
01:01:37every damn thing
01:01:38in this house
01:01:39was a slap in the face.
01:01:41His Anna had gone
01:01:42and married someone else.
01:01:43Roland couldn't handle
01:01:45the truth.
01:01:45He needed a distraction.
01:01:47He dealt with those
01:01:48two scumbag bodyguards.
01:01:50Then he told the shrinks
01:01:51to give Sophia
01:01:52the special treatment.
01:01:53He purged the house
01:01:54of everything Sophia owned,
01:01:56restoring it
01:01:57to how it was
01:01:57before she arrived.
01:01:59Then,
01:02:00his desperate campaign
01:02:01to win her back
01:02:02began.
01:02:04He brought roses
01:02:05and handwritten apologies
01:02:06every single day.
01:02:08She wouldn't even
01:02:10glance at them.
01:02:11Wouldn't even let him
01:02:12through the door.
01:02:14He tried sending
01:02:15other stuff too.
01:02:16The latest clothes,
01:02:17jewelry,
01:02:18handbags.
01:02:19took turns.
01:02:21All of it came
01:02:21right back.
01:02:23Roland's panic
01:02:24finally hit.
01:02:25He stood screaming
01:02:27at Anna's new place.
01:02:28He said he doesn't
01:02:29care if her's married.
01:02:30Doesn't even care
01:02:31if her slept with Alexander.
01:02:33As long as she came back,
01:02:34he could accept anything.
01:02:36No matter what he did,
01:02:38Anna refused to see him.
01:02:42later he found a box
01:02:44in the storage room.
01:02:46Inside were faded letters
01:02:48and photos.
01:02:50Hundreds of love letters
01:02:51from their school days.
01:02:53He kept every single one
01:02:54through every move.
01:02:56The photos captured
01:02:57their youth,
01:02:58the campus,
01:02:59their first date,
01:03:01and their graduation.
01:03:02Roland stared at his younger self
01:03:04and the Anna
01:03:05who always stood by his side.
01:03:08His heart felt crushed.
01:03:10The raw pain
01:03:12brought him to tears.
01:03:14He realized too late
01:03:16that he'd already
01:03:17had the greatest love
01:03:18in the world.
01:03:19The next morning,
01:03:21he took the album
01:03:22and letters
01:03:22to Anna's villa.
01:03:24As soon as she came out,
01:03:25Roland hurried over.
01:03:27Anna,
01:03:28wait,
01:03:29just give me a minute.
01:03:32please.
01:03:41Anna didn't even bother
01:03:42looking his way.
01:03:43She only stopped
01:03:44when she saw
01:03:45what he was holding.
01:03:46Roland desperately
01:03:47thrust the letters
01:03:48toward her.
01:03:49Anna,
01:03:49look,
01:03:50these are our old letters.
01:03:52I didn't lose
01:03:52a single one.
01:03:54And the photos,
01:03:55you said we'd look
01:03:56at them together
01:03:56when we were old.
01:03:57Anna looked
01:03:58at the faded memories
01:03:59and for a slip second,
01:04:01her icy expression cracked.
01:04:03Roland caught up,
01:04:04trying to pull at her
01:04:05heartstrings
01:04:05with old memories.
01:04:07Anna,
01:04:07we promised
01:04:08to be together forever.
01:04:09You said you'd only
01:04:10ever love me.
01:04:11Do you remember?
01:04:12She looked at him,
01:04:14said it quiet,
01:04:15but clear.
01:04:16Of course I remember.
01:04:17Roland's eyes
01:04:18lit up at once.
01:04:20I,
01:04:20I knew it.
01:04:21All those years,
01:04:23you couldn't
01:04:24just move on.
01:04:25So,
01:04:25Anna cut him off.
01:04:26Her voice
01:04:27cold as ice.
01:04:28I remember
01:04:29because that was my youth.
01:04:31But memories
01:04:32don't excuse
01:04:33the hell
01:04:34you put me through later.
01:04:35Because in my heart,
01:04:37the man you were back then
01:04:38died a long time ago.
01:04:41Roland froze,
01:04:42paralyzed by her words.
01:04:43He tried to speak,
01:04:44but nothing came out.
01:04:46Just silence.
01:04:47Anna didn't drag it out.
01:04:48After saying,
01:04:50stay out of my life,
01:04:51she turned
01:04:52and walked away.
01:04:54Rovan just stood there,
01:04:56watched her go,
01:04:57didn't move.
01:04:57He stood there
01:04:58till the sun
01:04:59and the streetlights
01:05:00cast a long,
01:05:02lonely shadow,
01:05:02but the door
01:05:03never opened again.
01:05:05Meanwhile,
01:05:06Anna and Alexander
01:05:07were living
01:05:08their newlywed bliss.
01:05:10They were slow dancing
01:05:11in the living room,
01:05:13her head on his chest,
01:05:14listening to the steady
01:05:16beat of his heart.
01:05:17It felt safe.
01:05:19Alexander kissed
01:05:20the top of her head.
01:05:21For the first time
01:05:23in a long time,
01:05:24she felt
01:05:24cherished.
01:05:26It wasn't about
01:05:27possession
01:05:28or dynamic compensation
01:05:30after a hurt.
01:05:31It was this.
01:05:33Quiet,
01:05:34gentle,
01:05:34and wordless.
01:05:36After that,
01:05:37Roland stayed gone,
01:05:39disappeared.
01:05:40Anna thought
01:05:40she finally had her peace.
01:05:42Then someone showed up
01:05:43at her door.
01:05:43It was her father,
01:05:45standing there
01:05:46with that same
01:05:47old slimy smile.
01:05:48Well,
01:05:49I heard you got married,
01:05:51so dad wanted
01:05:52to come see you.
01:05:53You really should have
01:05:53consulted me
01:05:54on such a big move.
01:05:56Anna stared
01:05:56at his fake face
01:05:58in silence.
01:05:59Unnerved by her gaze,
01:06:00he cleared his throat
01:06:01and finally spit out
01:06:02his real reason.
01:06:03Look,
01:06:04Roland promised
01:06:05an investment,
01:06:06but now he's backed out.
01:06:07My company is drowning.
01:06:09Can you talk to Alexander?
01:06:10He's loaded.
01:06:11Helping me out
01:06:12would be pocket change
01:06:13to him.
01:06:14Anna laughed.
01:06:15It was a cold,
01:06:17sharp sound.
01:06:18Typical.
01:06:25Before,
01:06:26he couldn't have
01:06:27cared less about her.
01:06:29This time,
01:06:30he came to make her
01:06:31ask Alexander for money.
01:06:33He never asked
01:06:34if she was okay.
01:06:36Not once did he ask
01:06:37about the divorce
01:06:37or her pain.
01:06:39He only cared
01:06:40about his money,
01:06:41business,
01:06:42and precious son.
01:06:47Dad.
01:06:50This is the last time
01:06:51I'll call you Dad.
01:06:55From today on,
01:06:57we're done.
01:06:58We're cutting ties.
01:06:59Don't come find me anymore.
01:07:01I'm not seeing you.
01:07:03I'm not helping you,
01:07:05and Alexander
01:07:06sure as hell won't.
01:07:11She turned around
01:07:13and walked right
01:07:13into Alexander.
01:07:14He heard her loud
01:07:15and clear
01:07:16that same old grin
01:07:17on his face
01:07:17as he spoke.
01:07:19Smile.
01:07:19It's your birthday.
01:07:21Alexander ever
01:07:21cracked Anna up.
01:07:23So,
01:07:24cutting off those
01:07:25so-called family ties
01:07:26didn't hurt as much
01:07:28as she'd braced for.
01:07:30This birthday,
01:07:31Anna was on top
01:07:32of the world.
01:07:33She'd had a few drinks,
01:07:35wobbled over
01:07:35to cut the cake,
01:07:37and ended up
01:07:38with frosting
01:07:38on her cheek.
01:07:40Alexander wiped it off.
01:07:41Giggling,
01:07:42she looped her arms
01:07:43around his neck,
01:07:44leaned in close
01:07:45to his ear,
01:07:46and whispered,
01:07:48Thank you.
01:07:52They grinned
01:07:53and fell into
01:07:54a deep kiss.
01:07:56When the kiss broke,
01:07:58Alexander pulled out
01:07:59an envelope.
01:08:01I have one more gift
01:08:02for you.
01:08:03She blinked.
01:08:06What gift?
01:08:08He passed it to her.
01:08:10She opened it.
01:08:11Her eyes widened.
01:08:14It was the
01:08:14advanced study program.
01:08:16Roland had banned
01:08:17her from attending.
01:08:19Her eyes welled up.
01:08:21Alexander looked at her
01:08:22with pure tenderness.
01:08:24If you marry me,
01:08:25you won't have to
01:08:26give up anything,
01:08:27not even your career.
01:08:30It's only three years.
01:08:32The distance is nothing.
01:08:34If I'm not buried
01:08:35in work,
01:08:36I'll be there with you.
01:08:39Her voice
01:08:40caught in her throat.
01:08:41Then he reached out,
01:08:44pulled her tight
01:08:45against him,
01:08:45and kissed her.
01:08:51Departure day
01:08:52was bright and sunny.
01:08:57Roland had just heard.
01:08:58He was driving like a
01:08:59maniac to the airport,
01:09:01desperate for one last
01:09:02look at Anna.
01:09:06Just one glance.
01:09:07That was all he wanted.
01:09:09But he was reckless.
01:09:10Too fast.
01:09:11And the other car
01:09:12slammed into him.
01:09:14He didn't even have time
01:09:15to blink.
01:09:16after a thunderous crash.
01:09:22He lay in a pool of blood.
01:09:25His ears buzzed.
01:09:27His bones felt like
01:09:29they were piercing
01:09:30his skin.
01:09:31His mind began to fade.
01:09:35His entire life
01:09:37flashed before his eyes
01:09:38like a broken phone.
01:09:40He remembered the first time
01:09:42he saw Anna.
01:09:42sunlight on her shoulders,
01:09:44her smile so bright
01:09:45it stole his breath.
01:09:47Then,
01:09:48the mistakes big time
01:09:49hurt her bad.
01:09:51And in the end,
01:09:52he lost her for good.
01:09:54He still remembered
01:09:55what Anna told him
01:09:56that day.
01:09:56Because in my heart,
01:09:58the man you were
01:09:59back then
01:10:00died a long time ago.
01:10:02The corner of his mouth
01:10:04suddenly lifted.
01:10:08Maybe she was right.
01:10:09Maybe he should have died
01:10:11in three years ago.
01:10:13Instead of living on
01:10:14and bringing her
01:10:15so much pain.
01:10:17With that,
01:10:18Roland coughed blood.
01:10:22His eyes closing for good.
01:10:32High above the chaos,
01:10:34Alexander unscrewed
01:10:35a bottle of water
01:10:36and handed it to Anna.
01:10:38So,
01:10:38excited for your new program?
01:10:40She pulled her gaze
01:10:42away from the clouds.
01:10:44Definitely.
01:10:45But I'm even more
01:10:46excited for us.
01:10:48They shared a look
01:10:49and a smile
01:10:50as the plane
01:10:50soared through the clouds.
01:10:52Sunlight poured in
01:10:53and landed
01:10:54on their clasped hands.
01:10:56Outside the window
01:10:57was a vast blue sky.
01:11:10who's a huge part of the night.
01:11:11doing a strange thing.
01:11:11the child is really
01:11:11of being
01:11:11to your eyes.
01:11:12And you know what
