00:00The night before our wedding, I caught my fiancée in our bed with his savior's sister, Sylvia Glenn.
00:05She was literally wrapped in our wedding sheets, her eyes still flushed with passion.
00:10I flung the pregnancy test, strip away violently, hitting him in the face, and asked,
00:16Do you even want this baby?
00:18He smoked all night, but in the end, he said,
00:21She's just a responsibility. You're the one I love.
00:24After hearing this, for the sake of my child, I put on my wedding dress and decided to give him
00:30one last chance.
00:32But what about the wedding? He didn't even show up.
00:37His assistant rushed over and told me,
00:40I'm sorry, Miss Frost. The wedding is cancelled. Mr. Cross is on his way to the hospital. Miss Sevilla has
00:45suffered a heart attack.
00:46The bouquet fell to the ground and my dignity shattered into pieces.
00:49I chased after them, out of the manor, clutching my wedding dress, and hysterically screamed into the phone.
00:55Damien! If you go to her today, I'm going to the clinic tomorrow! Your family will never have this child!
01:03He didn't say a word. He just hung up.
01:05I walked back to the manor gate, still wearing my wedding dress.
01:09Damien's mother rushed over and grabbed me.
01:12Alara, get inside! Don't make a scene in front of everyone!
01:18The wedding is over.
01:21Nonsense! Damien is just confused. Sylvia's in critical condition. He had to go.
01:24So he can show up for her, but not for me?
01:27You're going to be a Cross. Learn to be tolerant.
01:30I'm done being Mrs. Cross.
01:33Leave today, and you are no longer a Cross!
01:36I walked away, without looking back.
01:39In the dressing room, I stripped off the white lace.
01:42The stylist carefully removed my headpiece.
01:45Miss Frost, your makeup?
01:47Leave it.
01:49I grabbed my bag and walked out.
01:51Under the gray Long Island sky, I hailed a cab.
01:57Press Mysterion Hospital, please.
02:00Damien's assistant, Owen chased after me.
02:02I ignored him.
02:03I already knew the script.
02:05Mr. Cross is busy.
02:06Mr. Cross didn't mean it.
02:08For 10 years, I've heard it all.
02:10Sylvia was his responsibility.
02:12Because her brother died saving Damien's life, 5 years ago.
02:15I used to think his care for her was honorable.
02:17Now I realize some responsibilities have no boundaries.
02:22The cab pulled up at the hospital entrance.
02:24I paid the driver and walked straight into the ER.
02:27I found Damien on a bench outside the operating room.
02:29He saw me and stood up.
02:31Laura? You're here?
02:33Look, about today, I'm so...
02:35How is she?
02:38Acute heart failure.
02:39They're still trying to save her.
02:41It's not looking good.
02:44I see.
02:45Alara, don't be like this!
02:47Simus Glenn died for me!
02:49I can't just abandon Sylvia!
02:50She has no one else in this world!
02:52I'm not being anything, Damien.
02:55I just realized that our wedding isn't as important as a little sister you've known for 5 years.
02:59No!
03:00You're the most important thing to me!
03:03But she's dying!
03:05What did you never think gone?
03:07The doctor never said she was dying.
03:10Just then, the ER doors swung open.
03:12Family for Sevilla?
03:13I am.
03:15The patient had an episode of rapid heart rate due to emotional stress.
03:19She's stable now.
03:20We're moving her to a regular room for observation.
03:23Damien let out a long breath.
03:24See?
03:25Look how fragile she is!
03:27Why can't you just be more understanding?
03:29At that moment, the nurses rolled her out on a gurney.
03:31Sylvia was lying there.
03:33She opened her eyes just a crack.
03:35Damien rushed to her side, clutching her hand.
03:37Sylvia, don't be scared.
03:39I'm here.
03:40I walked out of the hospital without looking back.
03:43The freezing wind hit my face.
03:45Only then did I realize my heart was racing.
03:49The next day, Damien didn't come home.
03:52The house we bought for our marriage was dead silent.
03:55I called a real estate agent and put the house on the market.
03:58Yes, a quick sale.
04:00That afternoon, Damien finally showed up.
04:02He looked exhausted.
04:04Alara, I'm apologizing for Sylvia.
04:07She didn't mean to ruin yesterday.
04:10Can't she apologize for herself?
04:13She's still very weak.
04:16Damien, let's stop talking about her.
04:18Let's talk about us.
04:19What about the wedding?
04:20What are we supposed to tell our friends and family?
04:23He fell silent for a moment.
04:24Let's just wait a bit.
04:26Once the drama dies down, we'll have a redo.
04:28A reboot?
04:29You think a wedding is something you can just reboot?
04:32Then what else can we do?
04:33It already happened, Alara.
04:35I know you're upset, but Sylvia just cheated death.
04:38Can't we just show a little more understanding?
04:41Understanding?
04:42Always with the understanding.
04:44I walked into the bedroom and pulled out my suitcase.
04:46I started packing my things.
04:49What are you doing?
04:53I'm selling the house.
04:56Damien's face darkened instantly.
04:58Alara, haven't you had enough of this little tantrum?
05:03I'm not throwing a tantrum.
05:05I just don't live here anymore.
05:07You're not going anywhere!
05:09This is our home!
05:10I looked at him expressionlessly and said,
05:13The second you abandon it for another woman,
05:15it stopped being a home.
05:17You are being completely irrational!
05:19Just then, his phone buzzed.
05:22He picked up, and his voice shifted instantly.
05:26What's wrong?
05:28Another nightmare?
05:30Don't be scared, I'm coming right now.
05:31He ended the call.
05:32A flicker of impatience on his face.
05:34Stop acting out, Alara.
05:36Sylvia is still unstable.
05:37I have to check on her.
05:39We'll talk when I'm back.
05:40He thought I'd cave in, like I always did.
05:43If you walk out that door today, don't bother coming back.
05:47Alara, my patience has its limits.
05:49Then, he left anyway.
05:51I listened to the sound of the door slamming shut.
05:54I placed the last piece of clothing into my suitcase and pulled the zipper.
06:00I moved back to my city studio, a red brick brownstone,
06:03with my office downstairs and my life upstairs.
06:06Damien didn't call.
06:07I didn't reach out either.
06:09A week later, his mother, Vera, asked to meet.
06:13Ten million dollars.
06:14Leave Damien.
06:16Vera, between Damien and me,
06:19it was never about the money.
06:20I know you've been together for ten years.
06:22But Elida, understand this.
06:24The Cross family needs a wife who is sensible,
06:27someone who supports Damien,
06:29not a troublemaker who creates scenes.
06:31And Sylvia?
06:32She's sensible?
06:33Sylvia is pure and kind.
06:35Her brother saved Damien's life.
06:38He should protect her.
06:39As his fiancée, you should support him, not fight him.
06:43I don't want the money.
06:44And I don't want Damien anymore either.
06:46I hope he and Sylvia have a long, happy life together.
06:49They deserve each other.
06:50I stepped out, changed my number,
06:52and dumped every Cross family business card into the trash.
06:56The world grew quiet.
06:58I started focusing all my energy
07:00on preparing for the Milan Jewelry Design Competition,
07:03three months away.
07:05It was my ultimate dream as a designer.
07:07My days were full and peaceful.
07:13Until the day an uninvited guest showed up at my studio.
07:17Alara, I'm here to apologize about the wedding.
07:20It was my fault.
07:21I shouldn't get to the point.
07:22Damien has been in a really bad place lately,
07:24drinking constantly,
07:25and I know it's all because of me.
07:27This is the card he gave me.
07:28I haven't spent a dime.
07:29Please, just don't be mad at him anymore, okay?
07:32Sylvia, do you think this is funny?
07:34I don't know what you mean.
07:36Every time you get sick,
07:37every emergency you have,
07:38it always happens exactly when Damien and I have a milestone.
07:41You've timed it all perfectly, haven't you?
07:44I didn't take your card and get the hell out of my studio.
07:47I know you hate me.
07:49But if Damien had been the one who died five years ago
07:51instead of my brother,
07:53how would you feel?
07:54Believe it or not,
07:55I never wanted to ruin you two.
07:57I'm just so lonely.
08:00She turned and left.
08:05I swiped that card straight into the trash.
08:09Allura!
08:09What the hell did you do to Sylvia?
08:16Allura!
08:18What the hell did you do to Sylvia?
08:20She slit her wrist the moment she got home.
08:22If the nurse he hadn't found her in time,
08:24she'd be dead!
08:26Are you satisfied now?
08:29I didn't do anything.
08:31You're still lying.
08:32She's so kind,
08:33she brought you all her savings to make amends
08:35and you still had to provoke her?
08:37Damien.
08:39Do you trust her or me?
08:42I'm taking you to the hospital.
08:44Apologize to her.
08:45I'm not going.
08:46You don't have a choice!
08:47Damien, you've lost your mind!
08:48You're the one who's lost it!
08:49You weren't like this before!
08:50When did you become so vicious?
08:52So unreasonable?
08:53He was right.
08:54I wasn't like this before.
08:55The old me would have believed every word he said.
08:57I would have felt his pain as my own
08:59and taken all his problems on my shoulders.
09:01When did I change?
09:03He flung the car door open
09:04and tried to shove me inside.
09:06I used all my strength
09:07and ripped myself free.
09:12Damien,
09:14we're over.
09:16What did you say?
09:17I said,
09:18we're over.
09:19From now on,
09:20you and Sylvia have nothing to do with me.
09:21Alara,
09:22don't you dare regret this!
09:23My only regret
09:24is pulling you out of the mud ten years ago
09:26just for you to push me back in.
09:28I leaned against the door,
09:29listening to him pounding on it.
09:31Alara!
09:32Open the door!
09:34Then,
09:35the roar of an engine.
09:36He was gone.
09:37Suddenly,
09:37a sharp searing pain
09:39shot through my lower abdomen.
09:40I looked down.
09:42Blood was trickling down my legs.
09:44Seven weeks pregnant.
09:45You're showing signs
09:47of a threatened miscarriage.
09:48Your stress levels are too high.
09:51My baby.
09:52Can it be saved?
09:54We need to observe you,
09:55but we need a family member
09:56to sign the papers.
09:57Where's your husband?
09:59He's away on business.
10:01Then call someone else.
10:08I had no one else.
10:09My parents died when I was young.
10:12My grandfather raised me,
10:13and he passed away five years ago.
10:16I thought I had Damien.
10:18Now,
10:19I have no one.
10:20Owen sent an envelope.
10:22Inside was a photo.
10:28And there was a note.
10:30Miss,
10:31Mr. Cross said he'll come find you
10:33once Miss Glenn is stable.
10:35Then,
10:36I stood up and walked back
10:37into the doctor's office.
10:40Doctor?
10:40Have you decided?
10:41I don't want the baby anymore.
10:45I lay down on the operating table.
10:47As the anesthesia kicked in,
10:49my last thought was,
10:51Damien,
10:51we're even now.
10:53I didn't go back to the studio.
10:55I went straight to the airport
10:57and bought a one-way ticket to Milan.
11:01Before leaving,
11:02I left a note for Damien
11:03through my lawyer.
11:04The breakup agreement is on its way.
11:07I don't want the house,
11:08the car,
11:09or anything else.
11:10Just sign it.
11:11I sealed the envelope,
11:12leaving my past
11:13and those ten years behind.
11:14As the plane took off,
11:16watching the city shrink below,
11:18I told myself,
11:20Elora,
11:21you are reborn.
11:23Life in Milan was harder
11:24than I imagined.
11:26No friends,
11:27no money,
11:27and a massive language barrier.
11:30By day,
11:30I audited classes
11:31at the Jewelry Academy.
11:33By night,
11:34I washed dishes
11:35in a small bistro.
11:37It was grueling,
11:39but my mind was at peace.
11:41I poured every ounce
11:43of my love and pain
11:44from the last decade
11:45into my sketches.
11:46Three months later,
11:47I stood on the stage
11:49of the Milan International
11:50Jewelry Design Competition
11:51with my masterpiece,
11:53The Caged Bird.
11:55I won the gold medal.
11:56Standing under the sparklights,
11:58surrounded by camera flashes,
11:59I finally smiled.
12:00I was no longer the Elora
12:02who lived in Damien's shadow.
12:03I was Elora,
12:05the designer.
12:05Boss,
12:06Cross Group CEO,
12:07Damien Cross is here.
12:08Three years later,
12:09I returned home
12:10with my own brand,
12:11reflecting snow.
12:12He's in the front row.
12:12He hasn't taken his eyes off you.
12:14Oh,
12:14I took a sip of my drink
12:15and stayed silent.
12:17Anna,
12:17go get the finale piece ready.
12:19On it.
12:20He's lost a lot of weight.
12:21He looks exhausted.
12:25Ladies and gentlemen,
12:26please join me
12:27in welcoming
12:27the designer of tonight's show,
12:29Elora Frost!
12:33We held each other's gaze
12:35for three seconds.
12:36I gave him a faint smile,
12:38then turned
12:39and walked off the stage.
12:42Backstage,
12:43Anna told me,
12:45Damien wants to see you.
12:47Tell him I'm busy.
12:48He will wait
12:49as long as it takes.
12:52Then let him wait.
12:53I left the venue
12:55through the side exit
12:56and got into my car.
12:57After driving a good distance,
12:59I took one last look back.
13:01He was still there,
13:02just as Anna said.
13:03He'd lost weight.
13:04He looked older.
13:05He wasn't that sharp,
13:06confident man
13:07I remembered anymore.
13:08A jazz song
13:09started playing
13:10on the car radio.
13:11I turned it off.
13:12My brand exploded
13:13in New York overnight.
13:15Orders started pouring in
13:16like a blizzard.
13:17I was buried in work.
13:18Damien tried everything
13:19to see me.
13:20He bought the cafe
13:21right under my studio
13:22just to sit by the window
13:23every day.
13:24He bought every single
13:25one of my designs.
13:26Wrap all of these up.
13:27I ignored him completely.
13:28One day,
13:29right after a meeting,
13:30Anna walked in.
13:31Boss,
13:31there's a Ms. Glenn
13:32downstairs here to see you.
13:33She said her name
13:34is Sylvia Glenn.
13:36My pen paused
13:37for a second.
13:39Tell her to come up.
13:40Years later,
13:41Sylvia changed.
13:43Elora,
13:44long time no see.
13:45She wore heavy makeup
13:46and designer suits.
13:47Her eyes now sharp
13:48and bitter.
13:49She wasn't that
13:50helpless little flower
13:51anymore.
13:52Did you come here
13:52for something?
13:53I'm here to ask you
13:54to leave New York!
13:55On what grounds?
13:57I asked calmly.
14:00Because Damien
14:01loves you now!
14:03Everything changed
14:04the moment you came back!
14:06He's trying to kick me out!
14:08He wants to break up!
14:10Isn't that perfect?
14:11You two were never
14:12meant to be anyway.
14:14No!
14:15I'm the one who stayed
14:16by his side
14:17these last three years.
14:18I was there
14:19when he hit rock bottom.
14:20What gives you the right
14:21to just walk back in
14:23and steal him away?
14:25I looked at her
14:25like she was a joke.
14:27Sylvia,
14:28have you forgotten?
14:29He was mine
14:30to begin with.
14:31But you threw him away!
14:34No.
14:35He gave up
14:36on me first.
14:38I had nothing left.
14:40She choked
14:40on her words,
14:41finally.
14:41She snatched
14:42a stack of photos
14:43from her bag
14:44and slammed them
14:44onto my desk.
14:45Get too smug,
14:46Alara.
14:47You think he actually
14:48loves you?
14:49It's just guilt.
14:51Take a good look
14:52at these.
14:54I picked up the photos.
14:55It was a headstone.
14:58The name on it,
14:59Silas Glenn.
15:01My mind went blank.
15:02The world seemed
15:03to explode.
15:04He actually,
15:05he built a monument
15:06for the baby
15:07who never had a chance
15:08to be born.
15:09He told me
15:10his biggest regret
15:10in life
15:11is that child.
15:12He's only trying
15:12to get you back
15:13to make amends.
15:14Alaya,
15:14you're just a tool
15:15for his guilt.
15:16My hands shook
15:16so hard
15:17I couldn't hold
15:18the photos.
15:19Get out.
15:20You're kicking me out?
15:22You can't win,
15:23Alara.
15:24As long as he owes
15:25my brother
15:25for saving his life,
15:27Damien can never
15:27truly leave me.
15:28I stood up,
15:29walked over to her,
15:30and slapped her
15:31hard across the face.
15:32She gasped,
15:33clutching her cheek
15:34in disbelief.
15:35You dared to hit me?
15:36She grabbed my hair.
15:38I pushed her away hard,
15:40and she stared at me
15:41in complete shock.
15:42That was for my
15:42unborn child.
15:43I picked up
15:44the office phone.
15:45Security,
15:46throw this woman out.
15:48Now.
15:49Alara,
15:49you'll pay for this!
15:50I'll make your life
15:52a living hell!
15:54Nameless grave,
15:55my tears finally broke.
15:56I fell ill,
15:57a fever that wouldn't break.
15:59Anna rushed me
16:00to the hospital.
16:01I lay in the hospital bed,
16:03drifting in
16:03and out of consciousness.
16:05It felt like I was back
16:06in that freezing
16:07operating room
16:08three years ago.
16:09The nightmares
16:09were relentless.
16:11Tiny baby
16:11kept crying in my dreams.
16:13Mommy,
16:14why didn't you want me?
16:16I was scared,
16:18awake.
16:19The first thing I saw
16:20was Damien,
16:20he was sitting
16:21by my bed,
16:22his face covered
16:23in dark stubble,
16:24his eyes bloodshot.
16:26Alara,
16:26you're awake.
16:28I pulled my hand away
16:29and turned my head.
16:30I'm sorry about the baby.
16:32I'm so sorry.
16:35Back then,
16:36I thought you aborted
16:37the child
16:38because you hated me.
16:39I was too afraid
16:41to ask,
16:41too afraid to find you.
16:43I thought it would
16:44only make you hate me more.
16:45I visit the grave
16:46every year.
16:47I even gave him a name,
16:49Snowcross.
16:51My entire body froze.
16:53I've been looking for you
16:54for three years,
16:55Alara.
16:57I know I messed up.
16:59Just give me
17:00one more chance,
17:01please.
17:01I kept silent,
17:03watching him.
17:04I'll handle Sylvia.
17:05I'll cut her out completely.
17:06I swear,
17:07from now on,
17:07my world will only be
17:08you and our child.
17:09Our child.
17:10The one who's already gone.
17:12How pathetic.
17:13Damien,
17:14just leave.
17:17I won't.
17:18He stood up
17:18and tried to pull me
17:19into his arms.
17:20I dodged him.
17:21Alara?
17:22You're right.
17:23I aborted the baby
17:25because I hated you.
17:26I hated you
17:27for walking out
17:28on our wedding.
17:29I hated you
17:31for throwing away
17:31our ten years together.
17:34I hated you
17:35for choosing her
17:36over and over again.
17:38So I gave up
17:39on your child.
17:40The color drained
17:41from his face instantly.
17:43No.
17:44No,
17:45you're not like that.
17:46You couldn't be.
17:47I am exactly like that.
17:49I watched his agony
17:50but felt nothing.
17:50There is no us anymore.
17:52The woman standing
17:53before you
17:54is Alara,
17:55the designer.
17:56Not the fool
17:57who would give up
17:58everything for you.
17:59That fool died
18:01on that operating table
18:02three years ago.
18:03She's gone.
18:04Anna walked in
18:05with my medication
18:06and froze
18:06when she saw Damien.
18:08Boss,
18:09are you okay?
18:11I need to rest.
18:13Please,
18:14get out.
18:15He stood there,
18:15his lips trembling.
18:17Finally,
18:17he gave me one last
18:19lingering look
18:19and turned to leave.
18:21His back was hunched
18:22as if he'd aged
18:23ten years
18:23in a single moan.
18:25After I was discharged,
18:26Damien stopped pestering me.
18:28I guess he finally gave up.
18:29I poured everything
18:31into my work.
18:31My brand went global,
18:33expanding into Europe.
18:34I spent most
18:35of my time abroad,
18:37only passing through
18:37New York,
18:38for quick trips.
18:40I only heard about Damien
18:41through the financial news.
18:43He'd liquidated
18:44almost all of
18:44Cross Group's assets.
18:46His major investments
18:47were failing.
18:48Word is,
18:49Damien kicked Sylvia
18:50out without a penny.
18:52She's been trashing him
18:53to the press,
18:54claiming he's ungrateful
18:55and has a secret child.
18:56But no one believes her.
18:58She's hit rock bottom.
18:59I listened,
19:01feeling nothing.
19:02None of it
19:02mattered to me
19:03anymore.
19:04A year later,
19:05my solo retrospective
19:06opened at the
19:07New York Museum of Art.
19:08Every milestone piece
19:10of my career
19:10was on display.
19:11The opening night
19:12was packed.
19:13I was in the lounge,
19:15prepping my speech,
19:16when Anna rushed in,
19:18looking pale.
19:19Boss,
19:20we have a problem.
19:21What is it?
19:23Sylvia's here.
19:24She's making a scene
19:25in the gallery,
19:26claiming your breakout piece
19:27was plagiarized.
19:28Has she lost her mind?
19:30She brought original sketches
19:32that look almost identical
19:33to yours,
19:34just with minor differences.
19:36The press is swarming her.
19:38I stood up and walked
19:38out of the lounge.
19:39The gallery was in chaos.
19:41Sylvia stood in front
19:42of the caged bird,
19:43sobbing for the cameras.
19:44This was designed by me
19:45and my brother,
19:47Silas Glenn.
19:48It was his final work.
19:50Allura was just an assistant
19:51in his studio back then.
19:53She stole his manuscript.
19:54cameras flashed incessantly.
19:56Do you have any proof?
19:57My proof is the manuscript.
19:59It has my brother's signature on it.
20:02Sylvia.
20:04Allura.
20:05You thief.
20:07You actually showed up.
20:08You claim you and your brother
20:10designed this piece?
20:11Exactly.
20:12When?
20:13Six years ago.
20:15I smiled.
20:16Everyone,
20:17listen.
20:18The inspiration for this piece
20:20did come from someone.
20:22But it wasn't Simus Glenn.
20:25It was
20:26Damien Cross.
20:29I created this piece
20:31in my darkest hours
20:32after our breakup.
20:33It symbolizes my trapped love
20:35and longing for freedom.
20:37As for Miss Glenn's evidence,
20:38I looked at her.
20:40I knew it was drawn by Damien.
20:42You're...
20:43You're lying!
20:43We can call a handwriting expert
20:46right now.
20:47Damien has been drawing
20:48for ten years.
20:50I could recognize
20:51his brushstrokes
20:52with my eyes closed.
20:54And I know that you...
20:58The gallery fell
20:59into a deathly silence.
21:01Everyone was too stunned
21:02to speak.
21:03Sylvia's eyes widened,
21:05staring at Damien
21:06in disbelief.
21:07I've been digging
21:08into that accident
21:09from five years ago.
21:10I tracked down
21:11the original officers
21:12and got the full
21:13investigation report.
21:15That truck had
21:16a brake failure.
21:17Only brake failure.
21:19No murder.
21:20Silas Glenn was driven
21:21to despair
21:21by $30 million
21:22in gambling debts.
21:24In his suicide nota,
21:26he told you clearly,
21:28use my guilt
21:29to live a good life.
21:32He never told you
21:33to use that guilt
21:35to destroy
21:37the woman I love.
21:39Because of that guilt,
21:40I sacrificed
21:41my wedding.
21:42I sacrificed
21:43Alera.
21:45I lost my lover
21:47and I lost
21:48my child.
21:49I've lived my life
21:50as a total joke.
21:52Damien's eyes welled up,
21:53voice trembling.
21:54He lost the wedding.
21:55Lost me.
21:56Lost our unborn child.
21:58If your brother
21:58is watching
21:59anything above,
22:00do you think
22:01he would truly
22:01be at peace?
22:08Sylvia clutched her head
22:10and broke down hysterically.
22:11Cameras flashed non-stop,
22:13recording her humiliating collapse.
22:16Security dragged her away.
22:17The farce ended at last.
22:19Damien turned slowly,
22:20his eyes sweeping across
22:22every piece of my work.
22:23Deep,
22:24raw regret
22:25filled his gaze.
22:26Alera,
22:27the truth is out now.
22:30Can I,
22:31can I make it up to you?
22:33Can we
22:35start over?
22:36I looked at him.
22:37After a long,
22:38heavy silence,
22:39I shook my head.
22:40It's too late, Damien.
22:43With that,
22:44I turned and walked
22:45back into the lounge.
22:46I shut the door,
22:48leaving him
22:48and everything else
22:49behind me.
22:50After that day,
22:52Damien vanished.
22:53Cross Group went
22:54bankrupt and liquidated.
22:55He dismissed all staff,
22:57sold all assets,
22:59paid all debts,
23:00then left New York alone.
23:02No one knew his whereabouts.
23:04My life finally returned
23:06to a state of peace.
23:08My brand went public in Paris,
23:10becoming a truly global name.
23:12Only occasionally hearing
23:13whispers of Damien
23:14from Anna.
23:15Some said they saw him
23:16working in the fields
23:17on a ranch out west.
23:18Others saw him volunteering
23:20at a rural church
23:20in the south.
23:21It was as if he were
23:23living like a monk,
23:24punishing himself
23:25through labor.
23:26I listened,
23:27but felt nothing.
23:28Or paths had diverged
23:30for good.
23:30Five years later,
23:31I moved back to New York
23:33and bought a house
23:33with a garden.
23:35I adopted a little girl
23:36named Iris.
23:37She's precious,
23:38with two tiny dimples
23:40when she smiles.
23:41I love her dearly.
23:42We are happy.
23:46One winter afternoon,
23:47I took Iris to the park.
23:49The snow was falling heavily.
23:51Iris was building a snowman
23:53while I watched from a bench.
23:54Nearby,
23:55a man in a janitor's uniform
23:56was shoveling snow.
23:58He wore a hat and a mask,
23:59hiding his face.
24:00But his movements were slow,
24:02strained.
24:03He had a limp.
24:04Iris' snowball rolled
24:05to his feet.
24:06She ran over to pick it up.
24:08The man stopped his broom,
24:10leaned down,
24:11and handed it back to her.
24:14As he looked up,
24:15his mask slipped slightly.
24:17I saw his face.
24:19It was Damien!
24:20My heart didn't skip a beat.
24:22I just sat there
24:22quietly,
24:23watching him.
24:24Damien also froze
24:25when he saw me.
24:26His eyes widened,
24:27filled with shock,
24:28guilt,
24:29and a hint of embarrassment.
24:30He quickly pulled up
24:32his mask,
24:32turned around,
24:33and continued
24:34shoveling snow.
24:35His movements
24:36even more strained
24:37than before.
24:38Iris looked up at him,
24:40then at me,
24:40confused.
24:42Mommy,
24:42who is he?
24:43I smiled and stroked
24:44her head gently.
24:45Iris nodded happily
24:47and ran back to the snowman.
24:48I stood up,
24:49took one last glance
24:50at Damien's back.
24:51He was hunched over,
24:53shoveling snow,
24:54one slow,
24:55laborious stroke at a time.
24:57Iris, come here.
24:58It's time to go home.
25:00Mommy,
25:01that mister is crying.
25:06The past is gone.
25:07I have my life now,
25:09my iris,
25:10and a future full of hope.
25:11Damien's atonement,
25:13his regrets,
25:13they are no longer
25:14my burden.
25:15We finally parted ways,
25:17in the heavy snow,
25:18with no more entanglement.
25:20client.
