FunTranscript
00:00I have deeply loved Sebastian for a full eight years.
00:03Looking at the photo of Sebastian and me in my hand,
00:06I stood before the door and murmured softly,
00:09This is my last chance.
00:12This time, can I become Sebastian's fiancé?
00:15At the moment I reached out and was about to open the door,
00:18I suddenly froze because I heard Sebastian's mother
00:20questioning him with anger and disappointment.
00:22Sebastian, tell me, why for seven consecutive years
00:26have you secretly replaced all the slips of paper
00:28with your name on them with blank ones?
00:30You know perfectly well that if she doesn't draw your name,
00:34Eleanor can never become your fiancé.
00:36Doesn't it hurt your heart to watch her cry
00:38in disappointment every year?
00:40She has been crying for seven years.
00:42One more time won't make a difference.
00:45But Lillian just came back from Switzerland
00:47and her emotions are very unstable.
00:49I promised to accompany her through her treatment
00:52for seven years.
00:54He then gave a light chuckle.
00:56Anyway, Eleanor and I have been together for eight years.
00:59Her family and friends all think we are definitely getting married.
01:03Other than waiting for me,
01:05she has no other choice.
01:08Don't worry.
01:09Next year, I will give her a very grand proposal ceremony.
01:14Consider it an explanation to her for these past few years.
01:17I think she will definitely be very satisfied with this arraignment.
01:20After saying that, he threw the slip of paper with Sebastian Ashford
01:24written on it into the paper shredder.
01:26Listen, the sound of this paper shredder is indeed
01:30much better than Eleanor's disappointed crying every year.
01:34Standing outside the door, I heard those words
01:36and stared blankly at the photo in my hand.
01:39Turns out he wasn't blind to my tears,
01:42nor was he unaware of my disappointment.
01:43These seven years of blank slips were just a joke
01:47he used to trample on my true feelings.
01:50I clearly remember the Ashford family's rules.
01:53To become Sebastian's fiancée,
01:55one must draw a slip of paper from the lottery box
01:57at the grand charity banquet.
01:59She can only become his fiancée
02:01if she draws the slip with his name on it.
02:03And for these seven years,
02:04I have tried every possible method
02:06just to be able to become his fiancée.
02:08I thought he loved me truly,
02:09so I did all this willingly.
02:10Yet the hidden truth cuts deep and hurts so much.
02:14What do all my years striving to be his fiancée count for?
02:17It's nothing but a joke.
02:18But now, my heart suddenly let go completely.
02:21I loosened my grip,
02:22letting the slip of paper in my hand fall to the ground
02:25and turned to walk away.
02:27Since your name still isn't in the box for the eighth time,
02:30then I will just marry someone else.
02:32The bastion adjusted his cuffs
02:34and left the lounge without a care.
02:36He arrived at the banquet hall,
02:37which was filled with wealthy people in gorgeous clothes.
02:40This was the eighth gala,
02:42hosted by the Ashfords,
02:44the most powerful family in New York,
02:46to select a fiancée for their heir.
02:48He walked straight toward Lillian,
02:51who was surrounded by a group of wealthy young ladies talking.
02:54Sebastian.
02:55Lillian's eyes were red,
02:56looking deeply wronged,
02:57and she threw herself into his arms.
02:59They said I have no right to stand here,
03:01that I'm the one ruining the relationship
03:03between you and Eleanor.
03:04Sebastian frowned deeply,
03:06his eyes sweeping fiercely across the entire hall,
03:10finally landing on those wealthy young ladies
03:12who were gossiping.
03:14Who dares to say she has no right?
03:16The rules I, Sebastian, have set
03:18are the rules of New York's Upper East Dead High Society.
03:21Lillian is an important guest I invited.
03:23Whoever makes her unhappy,
03:24makes me unhappy.
03:25The entire hall instantly became so quiet
03:28that even breathing could be heard.
03:30In the midst of this silence,
03:31the crystal chandelier in the banquet hall
03:33suddenly dimmed by half.
03:35Only a few wall lamps gave off a faint glow.
03:38Immediately after,
03:39a beam of cold white spotlight suddenly lit up.
03:42I pushed the doors open and walked in.
03:45Every step was unhurried and composed.
04:01Those wealthy young ladies looked at me.
04:03After all, for the past seven years,
04:05I was publicly recognized by everyone
04:07as Sebastian's fiancee
04:09and the only woman he allowed to stay
04:10by his side constantly.
04:12Everyone thought I would definitely make a scene
04:14and drive Lillian away
04:16or, like the previous seven years,
04:18question him with red eyes
04:20about why he was protecting another woman.
04:22But this time,
04:23I didn't even give them half a glance.
04:26Without stopping,
04:27I walked straight toward a waiter
04:28in the banquet hall.
04:30I picked up a glass of champagne
04:31from the waiter's tray
04:33and took a small sip.
04:34The cold liquid slid down my throat,
04:37suppressing the very last bit of affection
04:39in my heart.
04:40Eleanor, aren't you gonna do something about it?
04:43Someone asked me in a very low voice.
04:46I smiled,
04:47but there was not a hint of a smile in my eyes.
04:49Young Master Ashfield
04:50is standing up for a beauty.
04:52Why would I go over there and interfere?
04:55Besides,
04:56I swirled the wine glass in my hand
04:58with a bit of a spectator's look in my eyes.
05:00I'm also quite curious to see if Sebastian's name
05:04is actually in the raffle box this year.
05:07Sebastian's body instantly stiffened.
05:09He subconsciously turned to look at me
05:12as if completely unexpected
05:14that I would have this reaction.
05:16In the past,
05:16at times like this,
05:17I would have already been crying
05:19and making a scene to drive Lillian away.
05:21But today,
05:22I was as quiet as someone
05:24entirely unconnected to this matter.
05:27A flash of impatience crossed his eyes.
05:29He let go of Lillian
05:31and strode toward me.
05:34Eleanor,
05:35what kind of temper are you throwing again?
05:37Lillian just came back from Switzerland.
05:39Her health is poor
05:40and she can't be frightened.
05:42You are the eldest daughter
05:43of the Walker family.
05:45Can't you be a bit broad-minded?
05:46Broad-minded,
05:48I looked at this man in front of me
05:49whom I had loved for over a decade.
05:52Suddenly,
05:52he felt very foreign.
05:54Seven years.
05:55More than 2,500 days and night.
05:59To cater to his preferences,
06:00I put away my own temper and skills,
06:02learning to make him French desserts
06:04and English afternoon tea.
06:06To get his name to appear in that damn box,
06:09I bribed the Ashford's butler,
06:11curried favour with Sebastian's mother,
06:13and exhausted all possible means.
06:15And the result?
06:16What I got in exchange was his phrase,
06:18be a bit more broad-minded,
06:20and my sincere heart
06:21shredded to pieces in the paper shredder.
06:24Sebastian.
06:25I put down the wine glass in my hand.
06:26The glass clinked crisply
06:28against the marble table.
06:29I am not throwing a temper.
06:31I just think you are right.
06:33Miss Lillian is delicate
06:35and does indeed need someone
06:37to properly accompany her
06:39through her treatment.
06:40Sebastian was stunned.
06:41He stared into my eyes,
06:42as if trying to find a hint of petulance
06:45or jealousy in them.
06:47Unfortunately, he found nothing.
06:48My heart was completely peaceful,
06:50without a single ripple.
06:52This feeling of being out of his control
06:53made him inexplicably panicked.
06:55He reached out,
06:56trying to grab my wrist.
06:58It's good that you understand.
07:01After tonight, next year.
07:03There is no next year.
07:04I turned sideways,
07:06dodging his hand.
07:06My tone was as flat
07:07as if discussing today's weather.
07:09My grandfather said the same thing
07:11can only be done at most eight times.
07:14Tonight is the eighth time.
07:15If your name is still not drawn,
07:18then we are done.
07:19Seeing this,
07:20Lillian quickly walked over
07:21and stood in front of me.
07:23Eleanor, stop throwing a tantrum
07:25and just apologize to Sebastian.
07:27He still loves you deep down.
07:29It's just that since I returned,
07:32my actions have been so unstable.
07:34And he is just worried about me.
07:36Besides, everyone knows
07:38that you would never marry anyone
07:40but Sebastian.
07:43As soon as her voice fell,
07:45a crisp slap suddenly sounded.
07:46My eyes were full of mockery.
07:48When is it an outsider's turn
07:50to dictate my affairs?
07:52Sebastian's face suddenly changed.
07:54And he stepped directly
07:55in front of Lillian.
07:57Eleanor, you have gone too far.
07:59Apologize to Lillian.
08:01Apologize?
08:02On what grounds?
08:03Because she's your darling?
08:05Or because she's thick-shitted?
08:07Sebastian, have you forgotten
08:09that tonight is my home court?
08:10As long as the drawing
08:12haven't started,
08:13I am still your fiancé in name.
08:14What's the problem
08:15with teaching an outsider
08:17who doesn't know the rules
08:18a lesson?
08:19The surrounding guests
08:20began to whisper.
08:22Mrs. Ashford also hurried over
08:24upon hearing the commotion.
08:26Seeing this scene,
08:27she frowned deeply.
08:28What are you arguing about?
08:30Isn't this embarrassing?
08:31She glared at Sebastian,
08:33then looked at me.
08:34Her eyes were complex.
08:37Eleanor, it's almost time
08:39for the drawing.
08:40Don't let irrelevant people
08:41ruin the big event.
08:42Mrs. Ashford liked me very much.
08:44She genuinely hoped
08:45I could marry into the Ashford family.
08:47It was a pity.
08:48That good son of hers
08:49personally destroyed all of this.
08:52Sebastian took a deep breath,
08:53suppressing the anger in his heart.
08:55He reached out to put his arm
08:57around Lillian's shoulder
08:58and patted her comfortingly.
09:00Then he looked at me,
09:01his tone cold.
09:02Fine.
09:03Since you want to play so much,
09:05let's begin.
09:06I want to see the moment
09:06you draw a blank slip.
09:08Whether you can still be
09:10as sharp-tongued
09:11as you are now.
09:13After saying that,
09:14he turned and walked
09:15toward the high platform
09:16in the center of the hall.
09:17There lay an exquisite box.
09:20It was also the judgment stand
09:21that would decide my fate.
09:23I watched his back.
09:24My eyes gradually turned cold.
09:27Sebastian,
09:28you think you control everything.
09:30But little do you know,
09:31this time,
09:32you are the prey.
09:34In the center of the hall,
09:35the crystal lights were dazzling.
09:37Everyone's gaze focused
09:38on that carved oak box.
09:40According to family rules,
09:41there were a hundred slips of paper
09:43placed in the box.
09:44Only one of them
09:45had Sebastian's name written on it.
09:47Drawing it
09:47would be the arrangement of fate,
09:49resulting in an engagement
09:50on the spot.
09:51Failing to draw it
09:52meant fate hadn't arrived
09:54and we would try again next year.
09:55For the past seven years,
09:57every time,
09:58I reached my hand
09:59in full of hope.
10:00Every time.
10:01What I pulled out
10:01was completely blank.
10:03I thought it was just my bad luck.
10:04I thought it was God
10:05testing our relationship.
10:07It wasn't until today
10:08that I learned
10:09that among those
10:10hundred slips of paper,
10:11Sebastian's name
10:12was never there at all.
10:13They were all blank papers
10:14he had personally substituted.
10:16Eleanor, go on.
10:17I specifically asked the priest
10:20for a blessing.
10:21The priest said,
10:22you will find
10:23your beloved this year.
10:24Beloved?
10:25Perhaps.
10:26It's just that this person
10:27is not Sebastian.
10:29Lifting my dress,
10:30I walked step by step
10:31onto the high platform.
10:32Sebastian stood next to the box,
10:34one hand in his pocket
10:35looking proud.
10:36The way he looked at me
10:37was like looking
10:38at an unreasonable child.
10:39Eleanor,
10:40as long as you apologize
10:41to Lithian now,
10:43next year,
10:43I promise to let you
10:44draw the name.
10:45Wouldn't even need to wait
10:46until next year.
10:47As long as you behave
10:48and stop targeting Lillian,
10:50I can consider
10:50ending this game early.
10:52Game.
10:53In his eyes,
10:54these seven years
10:54of torment,
10:55my youth,
10:56my dignity,
10:57were nothing but a game
10:58he could call a halt
10:59to at any time.
11:00I stopped in my tracks.
11:02Standing across from him,
11:03there were only a few inches
11:04of distance between us,
11:05but our hearts
11:06were separated
11:07by an entire world.
11:09Sebastian.
11:09I looked into his eyes
11:11and asked softly,
11:12Do you really think
11:13I must marry you?
11:14Sebastian was taken aback
11:15for a moment,
11:16then he sneered out loud.
11:18Who else?
11:19Besides Moo could tolerate
11:21your bad temper.
11:22Besides the Ashford family
11:23who is worthy
11:24of your Walker family.
11:25Eleanor,
11:26accept your fate.
11:27In this life,
11:28you are destined
11:29to only be the woman
11:30of me,
11:32Sebastian Ashford.
11:33He was too confident.
11:34Confident to the point
11:35of conceit.
11:36He thought that by
11:37grasping my weakness,
11:38he could trample
11:39on my bottom line
11:39unscrupulously.
11:40I lowered my eyes,
11:42hiding the mockery
11:43in my gaze.
11:44Is that so?
11:45Then let's see.
11:47Exactly who is the one
11:48who should accept
11:49their fate?
11:50I took a deep breath,
11:51slowly raised my right hand,
11:53and reached into
11:54that pitch black box.
11:56My fingertips
11:57touched the cold paper.
11:59One slip,
12:00two slips,
12:01countless slips.
12:02Each one was like a knife.
12:04Cutting into my heart,
12:05there was absolute silence
12:07below the stage.
12:08Lillian stood
12:09at the forefront
12:10of the crowd,
12:11a victor's smile
12:11on her lip.
12:12She knew the box
12:13was full of blank papers.
12:15She was waiting
12:16to see me make a fool
12:17of myself in public
12:18and cry bitterly.
12:19Sebastian also
12:20looked away casually,
12:22seeming to have already
12:22foreseen the ending.
12:24I closed my eyes.
12:25My fingers fumbled
12:26at the bottom of the box.
12:28Finally,
12:29my fingertips
12:30touched a slip of paper
12:31with a slightly
12:32different texture.
12:33That was the one.
12:34I had someone slip in
12:35during the chaos
12:36before entering
12:37and it was also
12:38the final way out
12:39I left for myself.
12:40I snapped my eyes open
12:42with a strong flick
12:43of my wrist.
12:44I pulled out
12:44that slip of paper.
12:45Young Master Ashfield.
12:47I held up the slip
12:48in my hand,
12:49my voice clear,
12:50spreading throughout
12:50the hall.
12:52It seems
12:52your promise
12:54is about to become
12:55inviled.
12:57Sebastian's casual
12:58expression froze
12:59on his face.
13:00He subconsciously
13:01looked at the slip
13:02in my hand.
13:02a trace of confusion
13:03flashed in his eyes.
13:05Impossible.
13:06He clearly had
13:06personally replaced
13:07all the slips
13:08with names
13:09with blank ones.
13:10Even just to be safe.
13:11Right before the banquet
13:12started,
13:13he had specifically
13:14checked again.
13:15There absolutely
13:15could not be
13:16any words in the box.
13:17Eleanor,
13:18who are you trying
13:18to scare
13:19with a blank piece
13:19of paper?
13:20He scoffed coldly.
13:22Stop making a scene
13:24and letting everyone
13:25laugh at us.
13:26Whether it's
13:26a blank paper or not,
13:28won't we know
13:28once it read out loud?
13:29A bright, radiant smile
13:31curled at the corners
13:32of my lips.
13:33Since young master
13:34Ashford don't believe it,
13:36then invite a highly
13:37respected elder
13:38to read it.
13:40I looked at the patriarch
13:41of the Walker family
13:42below the stage.
13:43He was also my grandfather.
13:46Grandfather,
13:46please help your
13:47granddaughter check.
13:48Whose name is
13:49written on this?
13:50Grandfather leaned
13:51on his cane
13:52and tremblingly
13:53walked up to the stage.
13:54He took the slip
13:55from my hand,
13:57unfolded it.
13:58The eyes widened
13:59fiercely.
14:00Immediately after,
14:01he burst into
14:02a hearty laugh.
14:04Good.
14:05It's destiny.
14:06This is the
14:07arrangement of destiny.
14:09The unease
14:10in Sebastian's heart
14:11grew stronger
14:12and stronger.
14:13He abandoned
14:14all etiquette,
14:15rushing forward
14:16to see what was
14:16going on.
14:17Grandfather,
14:18let me see it.
14:20Sebastian's
14:21casual expression
14:22froze on his face.
14:23He subconsciously
14:24looked at the slip
14:25in my hand.
14:26A trace of confusion
14:27flashed in his eyes.
14:28Impossible.
14:29He clearly had
14:30personally replaced
14:31all the slips
14:31with names
14:32with blank ones,
14:33even just to be safe.
14:35Right before the banquet
14:35started,
14:36he had specifically
14:37checked again.
14:38There absolutely
14:39could not be
14:39any words in the box.
14:41Eleanor,
14:41who are you trying
14:42to scare
14:42with a blank piece
14:43of paper?
14:44He scoffed coldly.
14:45Stop making a scene
14:47and letting everyone
14:48laugh at us.
14:49Whether it's a blank
14:50paper or not,
14:51won't we know
14:52once it read out loud?
14:53A bright,
14:54radiant smile
14:55curled at the corners
14:55of my lips.
14:57Since young master
14:58Ashford don't believe it,
14:59then invite a highly
15:01respected elder
15:02to read it.
15:03I looked at the patriarch
15:04of the Walker family
15:05below the stage,
15:06who was also
15:07my grandfather.
15:09Grandfather,
15:10please help your
15:10granddaughter check.
15:11Whose name
15:12is written on this?
15:14Grandfather leaned
15:15on his cane
15:15and tremblingly
15:16walked up to the stage.
15:18He took the slip
15:19from my hand,
15:20unfolded it.
15:21The eyes widened
15:22fiercely.
15:23Immediately after,
15:25he burst into
15:26a hearty laugh.
15:27Good,
15:28it's destiny.
15:29This is the
15:30arrangement of destiny.
15:32The unease
15:33in Sebastian's heart
15:34grew stronger
15:35and stronger.
15:36He abandoned
15:37all etiquette,
15:38rushing forward
15:39to see what was
15:39going on.
15:41Grandfather,
15:41let me see it.
15:43But Grandfather
15:44suddenly put away
15:45the slip,
15:46turned around,
15:47facing the hundreds
15:48of guests below.
15:49According to the
15:50century-old family
15:51rules of the
15:52Walker and
15:52Ashford families,
15:54Miss Eleanor Walker
15:55has successfully
15:55drawn her husband
15:56in the eighth
15:57destiny drawing.
15:59This is the
16:00arrangement of destiny.
16:01The whole crowd
16:02was in and out.
16:03Mrs. Ashford
16:04was moved to tears.
16:05The smile on
16:06Lillian's face
16:06stiffened,
16:07her nails digging
16:08deeply into her flesh.
16:10Sebastian was struck
16:11as if by lightning.
16:12Impossible!
16:13The box clearly!
16:15The words reached
16:16his lips,
16:16but he forcefully
16:17swallowed them
16:18back down.
16:19He couldn't say it.
16:20Saying it would
16:21mean admitting
16:21he cheated.
16:22It would mean
16:23admitting he lied
16:24to Eleanor.
16:25He took a deep
16:26breath, forcing
16:27himself to calm
16:27down.
16:28Grandfather,
16:29did you misread
16:29it?
16:30How is this
16:31possible?
16:32Why is it
16:32impossible?
16:33I took the slip
16:34back from
16:35Grandfather's
16:35hand, slowly
16:36unfolded it,
16:37displaying it
16:38in front of
16:38everyone, black
16:39ink on white
16:40paper.
16:40The strokes
16:41were vigorous
16:42and powerful,
16:43clearly writing
16:43Alexander Thorne,
16:51a dead silence
16:52even more
16:53terrifying than
16:54before.
16:54The colour
16:55in Sebastian's
16:56face instantly
16:56drained away.
16:57He stared
16:58deadly at
16:58those two
16:59words.
17:00Alexander Thorne.
17:01This is
17:02impossible.
17:03How could
17:03his name
17:04be in the
17:04box?
17:05Your box
17:06can only
17:06have my
17:07name!
17:07He bellowed
17:08out of
17:08control,
17:09like an
17:09enraged
17:10lion.
17:11I watched
17:11his crazy
17:12behaviour,
17:12and only
17:13felt it
17:13was laughable.
17:15Young Master
17:15Ashford.
17:16The family
17:17rules only
17:18say to
17:18draw a
17:19slip to
17:19decide a
17:19husband.
17:20But they
17:21never said
17:21that this
17:22box can
17:24only hold
17:24the name
17:25of you.
17:26Sebastian
17:26Ashford
17:27alone!
17:29I turned
17:29around,
17:30looking into
17:30the corner
17:31of the
17:31crowd,
17:31at the
17:32man who
17:32had remained
17:33silent all
17:33along,
17:34yet stood
17:34tall and
17:35straight like
17:36a pine.
17:36Mr.
17:37Thorne,
17:38since this
17:38is the
17:38arrangement
17:39of destiny,
17:40I wonder
17:41if you
17:41are willing
17:42to marry
17:43me as
17:44your wife.
17:47The crowd
17:48automatically
17:49parted to
17:49make a
17:50path.
17:50All eyes
17:51converged on
17:51that corner.
17:52Alexander
17:52Thorne,
17:53Wall Street's
17:54most low-key,
17:55yet also
17:55most mysterious
17:56billionaire.
17:57It was said
17:58he was ruthless
17:58and stayed
17:59away from
17:59women.
18:00He was the
18:00Ashford
18:00group's biggest
18:01mortal enemy
18:02in the
18:02global market.
18:03No one
18:03expected that
18:04his name
18:05would appear
18:05in the
18:05Walker family's
18:06raffle box,
18:07and even
18:07less expected,
18:08that I would
18:09propose to
18:09him in
18:09public.
18:10Alexander
18:10walked up
18:11to the
18:11high platform
18:12step by
18:12step.
18:13Every step
18:13seemed to
18:14trample on
18:14the very
18:15tip of
18:15Sebastian's
18:16heart,
18:16until he
18:17stood in
18:17front of
18:17me.
18:18He
18:18finally
18:18stopped.
18:19Reflected
18:20in his
18:20deep eyes
18:21was my
18:21current
18:21disheveled
18:22yet
18:22resolute
18:22appearance.
18:23Miss
18:23Walker,
18:24his voice
18:25was deep
18:25and magnetic,
18:26carrying a
18:27trace of
18:27imperceptible
18:28indulgence.
18:29You were
18:29the one
18:30who said
18:34no going
18:35back on
18:35your word.
18:36My heart
18:37trembled.
18:37Actually,
18:38I wasn't
18:38familiar with
18:39him.
18:40I had only
18:40heard his
18:40name and
18:41knew he
18:41didn't get
18:42along with
18:42Sebastian.
18:43Putting
18:43his name
18:44in was
18:44purely to
18:45take
18:45revenge on
18:46Sebastian
18:46and also
18:47to find
18:47myself a
18:48sufficiently
18:48powerful
18:49backer.
18:50I didn't
18:50expect that
18:51he would
18:51agree so
18:52readily.
18:52I
18:53absolutely
18:53won't
18:53go back
18:54on it.
18:54Alexander
18:55hooked
18:55his lips
18:55into a
18:56smile.
18:56In
18:57that
18:57instant,
18:57he
18:58reached
18:58out to
18:58take
18:59the
18:59slip
18:59from
18:59my
18:59hand,
19:00carefully
19:00folded
19:01it and
19:01placed it
19:02in the
19:02pocket
19:02closest to
19:03his
19:03heart.
19:04Then,
19:04right in
19:05front of
19:05Sebastian,
19:06he went
19:06down on
19:07one knee,
19:07took out
19:08an already
19:08prepared
19:09diamond ring
19:10from his
19:10pocket.
19:11Eleanor
19:11Walker,
19:12marry me.
19:12I will
19:13make you
19:14the happiest
19:15woman in
19:15all of
19:16New York.
19:16The whole
19:17venue exploded.
19:18This reversal
19:19came too
19:19fast,
19:20too thrilling.
19:21Sebastian
19:21went completely
19:22crazy and
19:23he upended
19:23the lottery
19:24box.
19:25Alexander,
19:26you're asking
19:26for death.
19:27Eleanor is my
19:28fiancé.
19:29What right
19:30do you have
19:30to propose?
19:31Box overturned
19:32on the ground.
19:33The slips of
19:33paper inside
19:34scattered all
19:35over the
19:35floor.
19:36Sebastian
19:36acted like
19:37he had
19:37caught a
19:37lifesaver.
19:38He squatted
19:39down to
19:39pick up
19:39those slips.
19:40I want
19:40everyone to
19:41see.
19:41These are
19:42all blank
19:42papers inside.
19:43It is
19:44you,
19:44Eleanor,
19:45who cheated.
19:46You teamed
19:46up with an
19:47outsider to
19:47humiliate me.
19:48He grabbed
19:48a handful of
19:49slips and
19:50held them
19:50up in
19:50front of
19:51everyone.
19:51Look!
19:52They are
19:52all empty!
19:54There are
19:54no names
19:55at all!
19:55This drawing
19:56doesn't
19:57count!
19:58However,
19:59the next
19:59second,
19:59his voice
20:00came to an
20:01abrupt halt
20:01because he
20:02saw,
20:02on that
20:03floor full
20:03of slips,
20:04every slip
20:05of paper
20:05bore the
20:06same single
20:06sentence.
20:07I don't
20:08love you
20:08anymore.
20:09Sebastian's
20:09hands began
20:10to tremble.
20:10The slips
20:11in his
20:11hands slipped
20:12away.
20:12He looked
20:13up in
20:13disbelief,
20:14looking at me
20:14standing
20:15condescendingly
20:16above him,
20:16his eyes full
20:17of terror
20:17and despair.
20:18Eleanor!
20:19You!
20:20I took
20:20Alexander's
20:21arm,
20:21looking coldly
20:22at the
20:22man on
20:23the ground.
20:23Sebastian,
20:24I said
20:25it the
20:26eighth time.
20:26If you're
20:27still not
20:28in the
20:28box,
20:28then I
20:29will marry
20:29someone else.
20:31Now,
20:31you can
20:32get lost.
20:32Sebastian
20:33went completely
20:33crazy,
20:34and he
20:35upended
20:35the lottery
20:35box.
20:37Alexander,
20:37you're
20:38asking for
20:38death.
20:39Eleanor
20:39is my
20:40fiancée.
20:41What
20:41right do
20:41you have
20:42to propose?
20:43The box
20:43overturned
20:44on the
20:44ground.
20:44The slips
20:45of paper
20:45inside scattered
20:46all over
20:46the floor.
20:47Sebastian
20:48acted like
20:48he had
20:49caught a
20:49lifesaver.
20:50He squatted
20:50down to
20:51pick up
20:51those slips.
20:52I want
20:52everyone to
20:53see.
20:53These are
20:53all blank
20:54papers inside.
20:55It is
20:56you,
20:56Eleanor,
20:57who cheated.
20:57You teamed
20:58up with
20:58an outsider
20:59to humiliate
20:59me.
21:00He grabbed
21:00a handful
21:01of slips
21:01and held
21:02them up
21:02in front
21:02of everyone.
21:03Look!
21:04They are
21:04all empty!
21:05There are
21:06no names
21:06at all!
21:07This drawing
21:08doesn't
21:08count!
21:09However,
21:10the next
21:11second,
21:11his voice
21:12came to an
21:12abrupt halt
21:13because he
21:14saw,
21:14on that
21:15floor full
21:15of slips,
21:16every slip
21:16of paper
21:17bore the
21:17same single
21:18sentence.
21:19I don't
21:19love you
21:20anymore.
21:20Sebastian's
21:21hands began
21:21to tremble.
21:22The slips
21:23in his hand
21:23slipped away.
21:24He looked
21:25up in disbelief,
21:26looking at me
21:26standing
21:26condescendingly
21:27above him,
21:28his eyes
21:28full of terror
21:29and despair.
21:30Eleanor!
21:31You!
21:32I took
21:32Alexander's
21:33arm,
21:33looking coldly
21:34at the man
21:34on the ground.
21:35Sebastian,
21:36I said it
21:37the eighth
21:38time.
21:38If you're
21:39still not
21:39in the box,
21:40then I will
21:41marry someone
21:42else.
21:42Now,
21:43you can
21:43get lost.
21:44Sebastian
21:45slumped
21:45on the floor,
21:46surrounded
21:46entirely by slips
21:47of paper
21:47that read
21:48I don't
21:48love you
21:48anymore.
21:49No,
21:51it is not
21:52like this.
21:52He muttered
21:53to himself,
21:54trying to find
21:54a slip with
21:55his name
21:55written on
21:56it from
21:56the floor.
21:57Even if
21:57it was just
21:58one,
21:58it could
21:58prove I
21:59still had
21:59him in
22:00my heart.
22:01Unfortunately,
22:01not a single
22:02one.
22:03Eleanor!
22:04You lied
22:05to me!
22:06He suddenly
22:06raised his
22:07head,
22:07his eyes
22:07crimson.
22:08You clearly
22:09loved me
22:09so much.
22:10How could
22:10you not
22:11love me?
22:11Is it
22:12because of
22:12Lillian?
22:14Is it
22:14because I
22:15replaced
22:15the names
22:15with blank
22:16paper?
22:16I will
22:17change.
22:17I will
22:18not
22:18replace
22:18them
22:19anymore.
22:19I will
22:20write my
22:20name
22:20on them
22:21right now!
22:22He frantically
22:22pulled out
22:23a fountain
22:23pen,
22:24grabbed a slip
22:24from the
22:25floor,
22:25and was
22:25about to
22:26write.
22:27Enough!
22:28Alexander's
22:28stepping on
22:29the hand
22:29he was
22:29holding
22:29the pen
22:30with.
22:30Young
22:31Master
22:31Ashford,
22:32harassing
22:33my fiancé
22:33right in
22:34front of
22:34me.
22:35Are you
22:35not
22:35completely
22:36ignoring
22:36my
22:37existence?
22:39He looked
22:40up and
22:40glared
22:41angrily
22:41at
22:41Alexander.
22:42What
22:43kind
22:43of
22:43thing
22:43are
22:44you?
22:44Eleanor
22:45and I
22:45grew up
22:46together.
22:47You are
22:47nothing but
22:48a petty
22:49man taking
22:49advantage of
22:50a vulnerable
22:51moment!
22:52Grew up
22:52together?
22:53Alexander let
22:53out a
22:54scoff,
22:54applying
22:55pressure
22:55with his
22:55foot,
22:56crushing
22:56Sebastian's
22:57knuckles
22:57until they
22:58crack.
22:58Does
22:59growing up
22:59together
22:59mean
23:00making her
23:00wait
23:00three
23:01hours
23:01in a
23:01blizzard
23:02for you?
23:02Does
23:02growing up
23:03together
23:03mean
23:03making her
23:04make a
23:04fool of
23:05herself
23:05in public
23:05for seven
23:06years?
23:07Does
23:07growing up
23:08together
23:08mean
23:08putting
23:09her
23:09sincere
23:09heart
23:10into
23:10a
23:10paper
23:10shredder?
23:11Sebastian's
23:12face
23:12was
23:12deathly
23:13pale.
23:13How
23:14do
23:14you
23:14know
23:15about
23:16the
23:16paper
23:16shredder?
23:17Only
