00:00Liam Horton married me twice. The first time, I was his wife. The second time, I was his hostage.
00:06He threatened my parents with a bomb. I said yes. He moved Eleanor Sheridan and their son Theo into
00:12my home. My daughter Clary asked me why daddy never came to her room. I couldn't find the words.
00:17At the same time, Eleanor's son got sick. Liam didn't investigate, blamed it on my jealousy.
00:21He locked me in the chapel for two days and two nights. The cold chapel stole my consciousness.
00:27And the last of my feelings for Liam. When I woke again, I found myself lying in my bedroom.
00:31The room was warm, and a thick wool blanket covered my body, and four-needle was inserted
00:35into the back of my hand, while a half-empty four-bag hung beside the bed. Liam sat next
00:39to me, gripping my hand tightly. His sharply defined face showed clear signs of exhaustion
00:43and worry. Chrissy, you're finally awake. How do you feel? Is anything bothering you?
00:49I turned my head away, making it clear I didn't want to speak to him or even look at him.
00:55Chrissy, are you blaming me? His voice was slightly hoarse.
00:59This is on me. I've been busy taking care of the baby these past few days, so I didn't
01:04get to you. You still matter to me. I had someone watching over you in secret, and I specifically
01:08told him to report everything to me immediately, no matter how big or small.
01:12I didn't expect that useless idiot to slack off. You even frant, and he didn't notice.
01:23He was still lying. Everything about taking care of the baby and arranging for someone to
01:28watch me was nothing but an excuse. He hadn't changed at all. I lowered my gaze, hiding the
01:33exhaustion in my eyes.
01:34Where's Clary?
01:35That was the only thing I said after waking up.
01:39My voice was breaking and soaked in despair.
01:42The broth she made me drink was made from my daughter!
01:45The accusation was so horrifying that Liam froze. He turned to Eleanor in disbelief.
01:50Is that true?
01:52I didn't.
01:53Eleanor cried, tears streaming down her face.
01:56It's just chicken broth!
01:58Chrissy, are you losing your mind? I'm a mother too. How could I possibly something as horrifying
02:04as cooking your daughter and feeding her to you? Claire is perfectly fine. She's at the
02:08Hortons' Manor with Madam Hortons. If you don't believe me, we can call right now and
02:12have her brought over.
02:13Without any hesitation, Liam immediately ordered someone to bring Clarissa back from the Hortons'
02:17Manor. Half an hour later, his men returned with her.
02:20Mommy!
02:21Clarissa cried as she ran straight into my arms. I froze in place. Clarissa was alive, so what
02:26had been in that mug? Realization struck me instantly, and I looked up at Eleanor.
02:30Eleanor stood behind Liam, her lips curling into a smug, satisfied smile.
02:34At that moment, I understood everything. This had been a setup from the very beginning.
02:38Eleanor had deliberately lied to provoke me, just so I would lose control in front of Liam.
02:44Christina, do you see it now?
02:46Liam's voice was ice cold.
02:47Clary is standing right here, perfectly fine. What else do you have to say?
02:51I closed my eyes. I had lost, and there was nothing left to say.
02:55Eleanor crossed her arms and wiped her tears. Looking wronged, a long gash marked her arm,
03:00which had been caused earlier when I lost control and cut her with a shard of porcelain.
03:03That injury, combined with her pitiful expression, erased the last trace of warmth in Liam's eyes
03:08and replaced it with cold, violent fury.
03:10Christina Yates, you actually made up something as insane as her cooking your daughter alive
03:14just to drive Ellie away? You've beaten her into this state, so even I can't defend you anymore.
03:18Guards, slap her a hundred times!
03:20From now on, think carefully before you speak, and make sure you know what you can and cannot say.
03:25As soon as he finished speaking, his men stepped forward, forced me to the ground, and began striking
03:30my face. After only two blows, blood seeped from the corner of my mouth.
03:37Mommy, don't hit mommy!
03:40Clarissa cried as she rushed forward. One of the men swung his arm without hesitation and struck
03:44Clarissa across the head. Her small body was sent flying before crashing to the ground,
03:48blood instantly seeping from her head.
03:51I struggled desperately to get up and reach my daughter, but Liam's men pinned me down
03:55so tightly that I couldn't move at all. Liam simply watched coldly.
03:59Keep going. Make sure she learns her lesson.
04:04The blows continued one after another, by the time it stopped. My face was already a bloody
04:09mess, and I couldn't even speak. Only then did Liam seem satisfied.
04:13You and Claire can stay in your room and reflect. I'll take Ellie to the hospital.
04:17With that, he left while protecting Eleanor. I crawled toward my daughter.
04:25Clary, how are you? Wake up. Don't scare me.
04:31The small body in my arms didn't move, didn't cry, and had no warmth at all. Blood slowly
04:36flowed from the wound on her head. I froze as my trembling hand reached for my daughter's
04:40pulse. There was no heartbeat. My daughter was dead.
04:47My phone suddenly rang.
04:50Chrissy, I've already sent your parents abroad and arranged new identities for them.
04:54They're safe now. Your visa is ready too. I picked it up from the post office and I'm
04:58outside your house right now. Are you coming with me?
05:00I didn't say a word. I held my daughter and walked toward the door.
05:06Outside, a black Rolls Royce was parked on the dark asphalt road. I got into the car with my
05:11daughter in my arms, then gently kissed her cold little face as tears streamed down uncontrollably.
05:16One year ago, I agreed to remarry him.
05:22Less than a year after our divorce, Liam came crawling back. He begged me to remarry him.
05:26When I refused, he had my parents abducted and strapped with explosives.
05:29Chrissy, I love you. Don't push me to the point where I have to hurt you.
05:3530 seconds. If you still won't say yes, I'll kill your parents and then I'll die with you!
05:41Unwilling to drag my parents down with me, I could only agree.
05:44After we remarried, Liam changed profoundly on our first Valentine's Day back together.
05:49He spent a fortune showering Los Angeles in rose petals. Swept up in this whirlwind of romance,
05:53I nearly believed he had truly changed. Then, one day, I went to the hospital to visit my father.
05:58I saw Liam and a doctor pushing a gurney out. The person lying on it was Eleanor Sheridan.
06:03His childhood sweetheart, Eleanor cradled a newborn in her arms.
06:06Liam, look at our son. He's so cute.
06:10Liam wrapped his arms around her gently as if she were something precious.
06:14Thank you for everything.
06:16I froze where I stood. His friends showered him with well wishes.
06:21Liam, congratulations. Your wife is truly amazing. You've got a healthy baby boy now.
06:26Liam's expression turned cold.
06:28Watch your words.
06:31My wife is Chrissy. That's exact why I can't find out. If this gets out, I will make you pay.
06:38At that moment, I pushed the door open and walked in. Liam quickly let go of Eleanor.
06:43Chrissy, what are you doing here?
06:48I smiled. I came to congratulate you on your son.
06:52Chrissy, you've misunderstood. I didn't cheat on you. Eleanor got pregnant before we remarried.
06:57I tried to force her to terminate it, but she refused. I had no choice but to hide her away.
07:01Chrissy, you have to believe me. I did have feelings for her before, but I don't anymore.
07:04You're the one I love. You're the only person I'll ever love in this lifetime.
07:07I walked up to him and slapped her.
07:10Eleanor's tears streamed down.
07:13Chrissy, I know you hate me, but the baby is innocent.
07:18Please, don't force Liam to cut ties with me. I just want my child to grow up with a father.
07:25I raised my hand again, ready to strike a second time. Liam seized my wrist meter.
07:29Chrissy, that's enough. Ellie's just gave birth.
07:32I glanced at him coldly.
07:33Chrissy, didn't you just say you have no feelings for her now?
07:38Chrissy, didn't you just say you have no feelings for her now?
