LifestyleTranscript
00:00Police sirens wailed somewhere in the distance.
00:02I stood at the foot of the bridge in my red gown, watching my stepsister, Olivia.
00:07Don't come any closer!
00:10One more step and I'll jump!
00:12Okay, sweetheart, we won't move. Please, just step back.
00:16Olivia, my princess, we can work this out!
00:19You want me to marry a man in a vigilative state for some stupid business deal?
00:23You're ruining my life! Why does she get everything?
00:26We're both your daughter, but Elena gets to marry Kyle Vau.
00:30And live like a princess!
00:32And I'm stuck with a coma patient! I'd rather die!
00:35Baby girl, you know we had no choice.
00:37I specifically asked for Elena. The family alliance is already set.
00:40If we back out now, Bennett Group is finished!
00:42Relax, father. She's not going to jump.
00:45Elena, your sister is about to kill herself!
00:47And you're standing there making jokes? Do you even have a heart?
00:50I'll do it. I'll marry the cripple.
00:52But it's going to cost you 30% of Bennett Group shares.
00:55She thrilled, rushing toward me.
00:58Elena! Are you serious?
01:01You'd really switch with me?
01:03Well, well. Look at you finally acting like a real big sister.
01:06Deal, Elena. If you marry into the Hale family for Olivia, I'll give you $1 billion as your wedding gift.
01:10Thanks for the generosity, father. Sacrificing so much just to keep your precious bastard daughter happy.
01:19Elena, you're seriously giving up the Vau's fortune to babysit some brain-dead guy?
01:22You've been with Kai for five years. Why throw it away now?
01:25Everyone saw the perfect couple.
01:28The heiress and the billionaire heir.
01:30But it was all a lie.
01:33Fine. But one condition.
01:35This swap stays between us.
01:37No one finds out. Especially not Kai.
01:39Behind me, I heard them hug each other, overjoyed.
01:42In a corner nobody noticed.
01:44A drone hovered in the air. I didn't see it.
01:47I didn't know that somewhere in this city, a man in a surveillance room was watching my face on a
01:52massive screen.
01:53And he found me... interesting.
01:57I stood alone in front of my mother's headstone.
02:00Mom, I'm getting married. Just like you. To someone I don't love. But I have no regrets.
02:06I pulled a photo from my bag. Me and Kai. Cuddled together. Sweet and close.
02:11I stared at it for a long moment.
02:13Five years ago, mom died. Dad moved Margaret and Olivia in before her body was even cold.
02:18I became the heir on paper. But that's all it ever was.
02:22Elena, I'm the lady of this house now. Your mother is dead.
02:27Get rid of this garbage. It's bad luck.
02:30Olivia had stood to the side. Chin lifted. Smug.
02:34Then I met Kai. He made me feel special. He helped me stand tall again.
02:38Five years. I thought we were building a life together. I thought he loved me.
02:42Until the night I walked into the room, he never let anyone enter.
02:45I pushed the door open and froze.
02:47Oil portraits of Olivia covered every wall.
02:50In the center, the largest painting. On it, in careful script.
02:54Love of my life.
02:55Olivia? Kai's in love with Olivia?
02:58Then why did he ask me to marry him?
02:59Was the last five years just a lie?
03:02I heard the door behind me.
03:03Yes, sir.
03:03Voices approaching.
03:04I spun and slipped behind a cabinet.
03:07Kai walked in with his assistant, Luca.
03:09Sir, if you're in love with Olivia, why are you marrying Elena?
03:11Kai stepped closer to Olivia's portrait. Touched it gently.
03:15Because I'm the Vos heir. I have enemies everywhere.
03:17I can never put my precious Olivia in danger.
03:20Behind the cabinet, I slowly sank to the floor.
03:22So that's it.
03:23I remembered a bullet cracking through a car window.
03:26Kai throwing himself instinctively.
03:28And then me shoving him aside.
03:30Taking the hit myself.
03:31The bullet had grazed my arm and left a bloody streak.
03:34I had done it without thinking.
03:35I'm marrying Elena so she takes the bullets meant for Olivia.
03:38If I didn't have to protect Olivia, I wouldn't marry anyone.
03:40I rubbed the scar on my arm.
03:42Tears slid down in silence.
03:44Five years of love.
03:46And I was just a human shield.
03:47Back at the cemetery, I flicked open a lighter and set the photo on fire.
03:51When I looked at my mother's headstone again, my eyes were steady.
03:55I'm taking back Bennett Group, Mom.
03:57Every share.
03:58Every dollar.
03:59I'm done being anyone's pawn.
04:02My phone rang.
04:04I pulled it from my pocket.
04:05Caller ID.
04:06Kai.
04:08Babe, I've been thinking about you all day.
04:10When are you coming home?
04:11I'm at my mom's grave.
04:12I'll be back later.
04:13When I stepped into the villa that evening, the heavy scent hit me before I even registered
04:17the roses piled on the coffee table.
04:19I sneezed.
04:21Kai rushed over at the noise.
04:22Babe, what's wrong?
04:24Why are there roses in the house?
04:26I got them for you.
04:27I wanted to surprise you.
04:29Do you like them?
04:29Olivia likes roses.
04:31I'm allergic.
04:32We've been together for five years, Kai.
04:35How do you not know that?
04:37Elena, you're back.
04:39The voice came from the stairs.
04:41My patience ran out in an instant.
04:44Olivia, what are you doing in my house?
04:47And why the hell are you wearing my nightgown?
04:51Elena, you're back.
04:57Olivia, what are you doing in my house?
05:01And why the hell are you wearing my nightgown?
05:03Elena, you've got it all wrong.
05:05Kai and I went out for coffee and I spilled something all over myself.
05:08He let me come here to shower and change.
05:13Elena, come on.
05:14She's your sister.
05:15Can you act like an adult instead of attacking her?
05:19Elena, I swear.
05:21Nothing happened between me and Kai.
05:24I don't like people touching my things.
05:27Once someone else uses them, they feel dirty.
05:31Elena, wait.
05:31Don't be like this.
05:32I was just trying to help her out.
05:33I'm tired, Kai.
05:34I'm going to bed.
05:35And when I wake up, I don't want to see Olivia's face in this house.
05:38What I didn't know was what happened after I left the room.
05:42Kai, Elena's always looked down on me.
05:44I'm used to it.
05:47I'm sorry.
05:48I feel bad dragging you into this mess.
05:50Elena grew up rich.
05:51She's never had to struggle for anything.
05:53That's why she's spoiled.
05:54Elena's going to that fancy charity gala tomorrow.
05:57I've never been to something like that.
05:59Kai, will you take me?
06:00Of course.
06:01The charity gala was everything it was supposed to be.
06:04Socialites, champagne, voices kept just below a polished roar.
06:08Miss Elena, I heard you're about to marry the Voss heir.
06:12Congratulations.
06:13But where is Mr. Voss?
06:15Why isn't he with you?
06:16Please welcome the Honorable Kai Vincent Voss.
06:20Heads turned toward the entrance.
06:22Kai walked in with Olivia on his arm.
06:28The room buzzed.
06:29My face fell.
06:30Wait, isn't Mr. Vass engaged to Miss Elena?
06:32Why's he got another woman on his arm?
06:34I took two small steps back.
06:36Elena, oh my gosh, please don't be upset.
06:39I've never been to something like this before.
06:41I begged Kai to bring me.
06:42It's my fault.
06:43Babe, come on, don't be mad.
06:45Tell you what, pick out any jewelry you want tonight.
06:47My treat, okay?
06:51Your eyes have been on Olivia the entire time,
06:54and I was stupid enough to believe your lies for five years.
06:58The host stepped onto the stage.
07:00Attendance brought out trays of priceless jewelry.
07:02I sat in the audience, uninterested, until a blue sapphire necklace caught the light.
07:08Oh my god, that's mom's necklace.
07:10I have to get it back.
07:12$300,000.
07:14Olivia raised hers, a slow, provocative look.
07:18$500,000.
07:19$700,000.
07:21Olivia turned to Kai with wet, trembling eyes.
07:24Kai, Elena has so much jewelry.
07:27I don't even have anything nice to wear.
07:28I love this necklace so much.
07:31Why is she trying to take it from me?
07:33Don't worry.
07:34I got this.
07:35He raised his paddle.
07:36$3,000,000.
07:38I watched him.
07:40Kai, please, don't let me down again.
07:43Just this once.
07:44Be on my side.
07:46The gavel came down.
07:48The host walked the tray to Kai.
07:50Sold!
07:51Galaxy's tears.
07:52To Mr. Kai Vincentette Voss.
07:54I assume this symbol of eternal love is a wedding gift for your beautiful fiancée, Ms. Elena?
07:58Kai took the necklace from the tray.
08:02He walked toward Olivia and me.
08:07Under everyone's expectant gaze, he turned toward Olivia.
08:11The room erupted.
08:12Did Mr. Vosschuk just give his fiancée's necklace to another woman?
08:15That's Ms. Elena's stepsister, Olivia.
08:18That's enough!
08:18My personal life is none of your business!
08:21Elena, it's just a necklace.
08:23You're the older sister.
08:24Can't you be the bigger person?
08:25I'll get you every other piece tonight.
08:26Happy?
08:27People looked at me.
08:28Envy.
08:28Sympathy.
08:29Kai, that necklace is the only thing I wanted.
08:32I couldn't take it anymore.
08:34I found a spot alone in the garden.
08:36I'm sorry, Mom.
08:38I couldn't protect your necklace.
08:40Well, Elena, you can't keep your man.
08:43You can't even keep a necklace.
08:45All you do is run away and cry like a little girl.
08:48Pathetic.
08:49So this was your dead mom's?
08:50That's really sad.
08:52Tell you what.
08:52Kneel down and bark like a dog.
08:54If I'm in a good mood, I might give it to you.
08:55You and your mother are the same, stealing things that were never yours.
08:59You'll always be a bastard child, Olivia.
09:01And your mom?
09:02Just a homewrecker who slept her way into my house.
09:05Kai, help!
09:06Elena, why are you pushing me?
09:08I didn't even have time to react.
09:10Olivia yanked me, and we fell together into the pool.
09:14Kai sprinted over, shouting.
09:16Elena!
09:17Olivia!
09:20Olivia!
09:20Olivia and I were both in the water, screaming for help.
09:23Help!
09:23Somebody help!
09:24Kai, I can't swim!
09:26Olivia reached him first, clutching his arm.
09:28Kai, please!
09:29My leg's cramping!
09:31If you don't get me out, I'll die!
09:32He wrapped his arm around her waist and swam her to the edge.
09:35I watched them reach the side.
09:39Kai, don't leave me.
09:41Please.
09:42Elena, hang on.
09:43I'll come right back for you.
09:44He scooped Olivia up and carried her away.
09:46Olivia shot me a smug look over his shoulder.
09:49I knew what that look meant.
09:50She'd won this round.
09:51But I wasn't done.
09:53I can't.
09:53I can't die like this.
09:55A loud splash.
09:56Just as I was about to close my eyes, another figure hit the water.
10:00A man in a mask, diving straight toward me.
10:02Kai, is that you?
10:04My eyes snapped open.
10:05I shoved at him.
10:06He held me tighter as we rose together toward the surface.
10:09He gripped the back of my head and kissed me, hard.
10:14I shoved him away the moment we broke the surface.
10:16And slapped him across the face.
10:17What the hell do you think you're doing?
10:18Get your hands off me, you creep!
10:20He touched his cheek.
10:21Instead of getting angry, he smiled.
10:23His eyes dropped briefly and he raised a brow.
10:25Miss, I was saving you.
10:27Ever heard of CPR?
10:29Let go of me!
10:30He deliberately released the arm around my waist.
10:32As you wish.
10:33I immediately started to sink.
10:34I panicked and threw my arms around his neck.
10:36He pulled me back in by the waist and laughed openly.
10:40Sweetheart, this time, you grab me.
10:43Jerk!
10:43Once we're out of this pool, I'm gonna kick your ass!
10:45He swam me to the edge and helped me up.
10:47I was soaked through, shivering, hugging myself.
10:50He picked up a suit jacket from poolside and draped it over my shoulders.
10:54I looked up at him and noticed a vicious scar across his exposed chest.
10:59Who are you?
11:00I reached for his mask.
11:03He blew me a kiss and walked away.
11:05You'll know when the time is right.
11:07See you around, Miss Bennett.
11:09Wait!
11:10Miss Bennett!
11:10A bodyguard rushed up behind me and stopped me.
11:13Miss Bennett, Mr. Voss sent me.
11:15He asked me to take you home.
11:17Expensive jewelry was piled all over the bedroom.
11:19Kai looked at me when I walked in, full of guilt.
11:22Elena, I'm sorry.
11:24I wasn't abandoning you.
11:26Olivia's leg cramped.
11:27It was an emergency.
11:28I had to get her out first.
11:30I know I messed up.
11:31He stepped closer and took my hand.
11:33But I can make it up to you.
11:34Once we're married, you'll be the lady of the Voss Empire.
11:36Anything you want, it's yours.
11:37I stared at him.
11:38The warmth was gone from my eyes.
11:40You can give me everything, Kai.
11:42Everything.
11:43Except the one thing that matters.
11:45Your heart.
11:46He leaned in to kiss me.
11:47I turned my head and avoided it.
11:49I'm exhausted.
11:50I need to sleep.
11:51Of course.
11:52Get some rest.
11:54Tomorrow we'll go pick out your wedding dress together.
11:56You're going to be the most stunning bride anyone's ever seen.
12:02I walked into the bridal boutique the next morning.
12:05Good morning, Miss Bennett.
12:06These are our designer's newest runway pieces.
12:09Anything catch your eye?
12:11I flipped two pages.
12:13They're nice.
12:14But I'm here for my custom order.
12:16Can you bring it out?
12:17I'm really sorry, Miss Bennett.
12:19Your dress was taken.
12:21I paid the deposit.
12:22Who took it?
12:24Before the associate could answer, Olivia stepped out of the fitting room, wearing my custom gown.
12:29Smug.
12:30Radiant.
12:30Fully aware of exactly what she was doing.
12:33Oh my god, Elena.
12:34Your taste is amazing.
12:36This dress fits me perfectly.
12:38I'm going to look so good walking down the aisle to Kai in this.
12:42Let's be real.
12:43You're marrying some brain-dead cripple who can't even wipe his own ass.
12:47A dress like this on you would be a total waste.
12:49My face went cold.
12:50I slapped Olivia's head.
12:52The associate jumped back, hand over her mouth.
12:55You hit me?
12:55Yeah, I did.
12:56Want me to do it again?
12:57Keep pushing me, Olivia.
12:59See what happens.
12:59What are you going to do?
13:01You're just an heir in name.
13:03Kai is coming.
13:04And when he sees what you did to me, you're done.
13:07You still don't get it, do you?
13:08I'm taking everything from you.
13:10We grappled.
13:11And then my eyes caught it in the mirror.
13:14A red infrared dot sliding across our bodies on my chest.
13:18Get down!
13:19I yanked Olivia down as a bullet ripped through the glass.
13:24The boutique erupted.
13:26Kai charged in with two bodyguards.
13:29Olivia lifted her arm, gashed by shattered mirror glass.
13:32Pitiful.
13:32Perfectly timed.
13:33Kai, thank god you're here.
13:36I was so scared.
13:38Kai locked down the boutique, found Olivia's injury, hauled her up, and pulled her into his arms.
13:43You're bleeding.
13:44Don't worry.
13:45I'm getting you to the hospital right now.
13:48He carried her out without sparing me even a glance.
13:51One of the bodyguards noticed blood on my palm.
13:54Mrs. Bennett, your hand is bleeding back.
13:57It's fine.
13:57I'll go to the hospital myself.
13:59Kai, watching you obsess over her just reminds me how stupid I was.
14:03We're done.
14:05Two hospital beds.
14:07Two sisters.
14:07Theodore and Margaret hovering over Olivia, carefully checking the cut on her arm.
14:12Thank god you're okay, sweetheart.
14:14They're saying it was a hitman targeting the Vos family.
14:17If the Vos family weren't so powerful, I'd never let you marry into this mess.
14:22It's too dangerous, honey.
14:24Mom, it's okay.
14:25Kai will protect me.
14:27And if I'm going to be the lady of the Vos Empire someday, I need to toughen up.
14:30I can handle it.
14:31I lay on the other bed and watched their warm little moment.
14:35I quietly lowered my head.
14:36After mom left, I've been an orphan for a long time.
14:40She's watching over me.
14:41I have to stay strong.
14:43For her.
14:44Olivia got out of bed and walked over.
14:46Expression full of careful concern.
14:48Hey, thank you for spotting that sniper today.
14:51I heard you got hurt pretty bad too.
14:53She took my bandaged hand and her nails dug in.
14:56Blood seeped through the gauze.
14:58Does it still hurt?
14:59I cried out and jerked my hand free.
15:01Olivia stumbled backward into the bedside table.
15:03Hot soup from a thermos spilled all over her.
15:06Elena, you bitch!
15:07Olivia!
15:08Kai rushed in and stopped her.
15:10He helped Olivia up, then turned to me.
15:13What happened?
15:14I was just trying to check on Elena's hand and she just pushed me.
15:18I don't know why she hates me so much.
15:20Margaret cut in before I could speak.
15:22We all saw what happened.
15:24You pushed your sister and burned her.
15:26And now you're trying to lie about it?
15:28Kai's face went cold.
15:30Elena, apologize to Olivia.
15:32Now.
15:33I sat up, looked at Kai, looked at Olivia's smug face.
15:36Fine.
15:37I raised my hand and slapped Olivia hard.
15:41There.
15:42That's my apology.
15:45Elena, are you crazy?
15:48Isn't this what you wanted?
15:49What the hell is wrong with you?
15:51Olivia is your sister!
15:54Shut up.
15:55My mother was my only family.
15:57I shot Kai a hard look and stormed out.
16:00I didn't make it far.
16:02Two men crept up behind me on the roadside.
16:05One threw a sack over my head.
16:06A car pulled up.
16:07They forced me in.
16:08The car sped off.
16:12The forest smelled cold and damp.
16:14They pulled the sack off my head.
16:16I was tied to a tree.
16:18Let's talk.
16:20Do you want money?
16:21I can get you money.
16:23Name your price.
16:24Just don't hurt me.
16:26The thugs exchanged grins.
16:28The knife came out, pressed on my cheek.
16:30Sweetheart, we already got paid.
16:32More than enough.
16:33He pulled the knife back, licked the blade.
16:37Miss Bennett, you pissed off the wrong person.
16:40Now you're going to learn what happens when you step out of line.
16:43Let go of me.
16:44Touch me and I swear to God you'll regret it.
16:50They swarmed in, tearing at the front of my clothes.
16:53I forced myself to keep looking.
16:55A snake tattoo on the man's arm.
16:57I went still.
16:59That's the Voss family mark.
17:00These men, they work for Kai.
17:03I found out later what Kai was doing while they had me.
17:06Parked on the forest road, smoking.
17:08Asking Luca if I'd begged yet.
17:12Miss Bennett's tougher than expected.
17:14She won't beg.
17:15But the men know the limits.
17:17They won't go too far.
17:18Good.
17:19Then tell them to keep going.
17:20Once she's my wife, she needs to learn her place now.
17:22But at that moment, all I knew was the bruises covering my arms.
17:26When they finally released me, I stood in the middle of Kai's secret room.
17:31Kai had me kidnapped and beaten.
17:34Just because I slapped his precious Olivia.
17:37Five years together.
17:38And I still can't compare to her.
17:41When did it start, Kai?
17:43I walked to the giant painting in the center and yanked off the white gauze covering it.
17:48I remembered it now, five years ago, backstage.
17:51Elena, please.
17:52I'm performing in five minutes, but I can't play piano at all.
17:55Can you go on for me?
17:56I put on the mask and walked onto the stage.
17:59I played.
17:59The piece ended.
18:00The crowd erupted.
18:01In the last row, Kai watched the stage.
18:06What's her name?
18:07That's Olivia Bennett, the younger Bennett daughter.
18:10She's a freshman.
18:11Kai, your one true love was a lie from the start, but you made your choice.
18:15So go ahead.
18:17Have her.
18:17The day came.
18:19Olivia and I stood in wedding dresses in Theodore's front room, about to be sent off.
18:24Don't forget, you promised to marry that Hale crip for me.
18:30No backing out now.
18:33Of course, a deal's a deal.
18:36But where are the shares and the billion dollars you promised?
18:39Just because you hold some shares doesn't mean you have any real power.
18:43You belong to the Hale family now.
18:46Stay in your lane.
18:47Mom, who cares?
18:48I'm about to become queen of the Vos Empire.
18:51The cars were ready.
18:55Now no one will be able to tell you apart.
18:58I stepped up to the Hale car and opened the door without hesitation.
19:02No looking back.
19:07Elena.
19:09Today is a fresh start.
19:11I promise, I'm going to make you the happiest woman in the world.
19:15Through my veil, something cold passed over Kai's face.
19:20But Olivia shifted her body, blocking his line of sight.
19:24The two cars separated.
19:26Inside mine, I pulled out the SIM card and tossed it out the window.
19:29Kai, farewell.
19:31In the church.
19:32I heard later, Kai stood with Olivia before the cross.
19:37Elena, I...
19:38He lifted her veil, full of excitement.
19:41Olivia?
19:43What the hell are you doing here?
19:45I wasn't there, but I found out later what happened.
19:48Ah!
19:50No, Kai, I'm your wife now.
19:53You can't just leave me.
19:56Get the car ready.
19:57I'm going to the Hale estate to bring Elena back.
20:01Kai, please.
20:02I love you.
20:03That's why I agreed to this switch with Elena.
20:05I know you love me too.
20:06This whole thing is a mistake.
20:08I need to fix it before it's too late.
20:13If you walk out that door tonight, tomorrow you'll find my body.
20:17Olivia, stop.
20:18What are you doing?
20:22Elena got scared after that shooting.
20:23She didn't want to marry you.
20:24The boss name is too dangerous.
20:26Dad even gave her a billion dollars to convince her.
20:28And what did she do?
20:28Took the money and ditched you!
20:31Check Elena's bank account.
20:32Recent deposits.
20:33Sir, Miss Elena's account received a billion dollar deposit recently.
20:36Elena, how could you lie to me?
20:37Kai, don't be sad.
20:40You still have me.
20:41No matter what happens, I'll always be here.
20:43I'll never leave you.
20:44Kai held her, but all he could think about, I heard later, was me.
20:50Hale Villa was enormous and oppressive.
20:53Black and gray tones dominated everything.
20:56No warmth anywhere.
20:57I stood in the entrance hall in my wedding gown and looked around.
21:01Hello?
21:03Is anyone here?
21:04Mrs. Hale!
21:05Jesus!
21:06Where did you come from?
21:07My apologies.
21:08I'm Nathaniel, Mr. Hale's assistant.
21:10Welcome.
21:11Please, follow me.
21:12Nathaniel guided me into the elevator.
21:14It stopped on the third floor.
21:18The third floor and above are your living quarters.
21:21You're not to go anywhere else in the house without permission.
21:23You'll also be responsible for Mr. Hale's daily care.
21:25Starting now.
21:26It's time for his bath.
21:27I'm sorry, did I marry a husband or sign up to be a nurse?
21:30Please.
21:34Alistair lay on the bed in a dark blue silk robe, eyes closed, motionless.
21:39Look, Nathaniel, I don't think my husband and I are quite at the fully naked stage yet.
21:43Maybe you could just...
21:45The door slammed shut behind me.
21:48Great!
21:49Fine!
21:50Just so you know, the only thing I've ever bathed is a dog!
21:53I walked to his bedside and leaned over, studying him.
21:56I have to admit, you're pretty hot.
21:59And your body's not bad either.
22:02I reached out.
22:02My palm slowly slid from his chest.
22:05Then I kicked off my heels, removed the veil, and slowly slipped out of my wedding gown.
22:09What I didn't know, on the bed, Alistair secretly opened one eye.
22:13Alright, let's just get this over with.
22:15Come on, husband.
22:16I grabbed Alistair by the thigh and dragged him straight off the bed.
22:19His head slammed heavily against the floor.
22:26Humming to myself, I dragged him all the way into the bathroom.
22:31And hoisted him into the bathtub.
22:33After filling the tub with water, I was already panting from the effort.
22:37For a guy who's supposedly bedridden, you weigh as much as a refrigerator.
22:41I stepped under the shower head, turned it on, and rinsed off the sweat.
22:49Do I?
22:50I froze.
22:51My head snapped toward the bathroom doorway.
22:53Who said that?
22:54I stepped back.
22:55My foot slipped on the wet floor.
22:57Alistair reached out, wrapped an arm around my waist, and pulled me into the bathtub.
23:04I opened my eyes and stared at him in shock.
23:08You're not brain dead?
23:09I tried to cover myself.
23:11He gripped my wrist.
23:13Welcome home, my beautiful bride.
23:15I struggled, and then my gaze locked onto his chest.
23:18The scar, the pool, the mask, the man who had kissed me.
23:22It was you?
23:25That's right!
23:26It was you!
23:26I yanked open his robe and pointed at the scar.
23:29At the charity gala?
23:31You were the one who took advantage of me in the swimming pool!
23:34Alistair curled his lips slightly.
23:36I'm afraid you got the wrong person.
23:37My body has only just recovered.
23:39I haven't been to any charity gala.
23:41He gripped my wrist and pulled me closer.
23:42But you, Elena.
23:44For someone with such a pristine reputation, you're being pretty forward.
23:47We just met, and you're throwing yourself at me in the bathtub.
23:51He took my hand and removed his robe completely.
23:53Guided my hand slowly across his chest, moving downward.
23:56What's the rush, Mrs. Howell?
23:58Can't keep your hands off me already?
23:59I clenched my teeth.
24:00Took a deep breath.
24:01So that's his game.
24:02He thinks I'll chicken out.
24:03Wrong move, Mr. Hale.
24:04I shook off his hand and reached downward, deliberately.
24:07Suggesting I took hold of something that made him pause.
24:09His expression stiffened.
24:10Jesus, Elena.
24:12You're really direct.
24:16What's wrong?
24:18Isn't this what you wanted?
24:19I never turn away a man that walks straight into my hands.
24:22But unfortunately, you're not my type.
24:26I straightened up and walked away.
24:28In the hallway, I leaned against the wall.
24:30It was him.
24:31The man who pulled me out of that pool.
24:32But why is he pretending he doesn't know me?
24:34My gaze turned cold.
24:36The Hale family is even more dangerous than I thought.
24:39Even worse than the Voss family.
24:40If I want to survive here, I need to stay sharp.
24:43Tonight, Thaniel handed Alistair a cup of coffee in the living room.
24:46And I caught the end of their conversation as I came downstairs.
24:50Sir, you went through all this trouble to marry Miss Bennett.
24:53Why don't you just tell her how you truly feel?
24:55It's simple.
24:57Take this cup, for example.
24:59If I want to fill it with milk, I have to pour out the coffee first.
25:02Same logic.
25:03If I want her heart, I need to clear out the trash that's already in it.
25:07He stood and picked up a crossbow from a nearby display rack.
25:11But you did remind me of something.
25:13It's time Elena sees who I really am.
25:15I've been asleep long enough.
25:17Time to wake up and remind everyone I'm still here.
25:21I pressed myself back against the wall and pretended I hadn't heard a thing.
25:26Sunlight streamed through the window.
25:28I lay in the massive bed.
25:30Rolled over.
25:31Eyes fluttered open.
25:33Huh.
25:34First night in this creepy mansion.
25:36And I actually slept through it.
25:38That's unexpected.
25:39Can't remember the last time I slept that well.
25:41The phone on the bedside table rang.
25:43I answered.
25:46Nathaniel.
25:47Morning, Mrs. Hale.
25:48When you're ready, please come outside.
25:50Their Hale is waiting for you on the lawn.
25:51Hmm.
25:55Great.
25:56Looks like trouble is waiting for me.
25:57The moment I stepped onto the lawn, an arrow sliced through the air and flew past my ear.
26:03In the distance, Alistair removed his sunglasses and smiled.
26:07Morning, my beautiful wife.
26:08My fists clenched.
26:10Great.
26:10I married a psychopath.
26:12Morning, my wife.
26:12Morning, my wife.
26:12Morning, my wife.
26:12Morning, my wife.
26:13Morning, my wife.
26:13Morning, my wife.
