Short filmTranscript
00:00When my husband's name suddenly hit the top of the trending page.
00:04Jasmine Young had posted a marriage certificate, then deleted it almost immediately.
00:09And the man on it was none other than my husband, Aiden Campbell.
00:13Everyone online laughed at Jasmine.
00:15No one believed Aiden could ever betray me.
00:18But I remembered exactly what Jasmine had done to me six years ago.
00:23She destroyed my throat, my career, and the music dream I had barely begun.
00:27When Aiden found out, he rushed back overnight.
00:32You dare touch my people?
00:35You're asking for death.
00:37He ruined Jasmine's career for me.
00:40That was why I couldn't believe the certificate was real.
00:43I only came here to confirm a piece of paper.
00:45I never thought it would erase five years of my life.
00:49I'm sorry ma'am, according to our records, there is no registered marriage under your name.
00:55That can't be right.
00:56Wait, please check it again.
00:58There is no mistake, you are unmarried.
01:00But the gentleman you provided is already married.
01:03His spouse is Jasmine Young.
01:05So Jasmine had not photoshopped the certificate?
01:08I was the fake wife?
01:10I'll be home late tonight.
01:11I had my assistant send your gift to the house.
01:13I went straight to Aiden's office without letting anyone announce to me.
01:17Silly.
01:18You're my wife.
01:19Why would I blame you over something this small?
01:21But what about Emma?
01:24I stopped asking why.
01:26The only thing left was to make myself disappear from his world.
01:29I handled every document I needed, quietly, before anyone could notice.
01:33Then I accepted the work I once gave up for him, and chose the earliest flight out.
01:39On my way back to pack, I saw Aiden's car in the next lane.
01:43He didn't notice me, but I saw Jasmine sitting beside him, smiling like she belonged there.
01:48I followed them.
01:50He opened the car door for her himself.
01:53He stayed beside her at every counter, buying whatever she looked at for more than a second.
01:59The generosity everyone once thought was only mine, was now given to her without hesitation.
02:05Then Aiden stopped in front of a Sappifier necklace.
02:08Aiden, this necklace is pretty, but it doesn't really suit me.
02:13Send it direct to the Campbell Group.
02:16Em, I've already got next week's gift ready.
02:18You're going to love it.
02:20I followed them to a restaurant that cost six figures a feast.
02:24Two years ago, Jasmine was photographed here with a wealthy backer when she made her comeback.
02:29Now I finally understood.
02:30That backer was not some rumor.
02:32It was Aiden.
02:33My throat was destroyed.
02:35My dream was gone, and even the perfect marriage I had held into was fake.
02:39I could not stay there another second.
02:41But before I could escape that lie, a red sports car parked me straight at me.
02:46The crash came too fast.
02:48By the time I turned the wheel, it was already over.
02:51My phone detected the impact.
02:53It dialed the only name that still mattered, Aiden.
02:56The last thing I think I saw before the darkness took me was his name, glowing on a shattered screen.
03:01I woke to the smell of disinfectant.
03:04White ceilings.
03:05White walls.
03:07White lies waiting to greet me.
03:11Em, thank God you're awake.
03:13Does anything still hurt?
03:15I'm fine.
03:16He looked at me like I was his entire world, and once, I would have believed it.
03:20I saw you covered in blood, Em.
03:21I've never been so scared in my life.
03:22I hired the best lawyers.
03:23He'll spend the rest of his life in prison.
03:25He trembled when he spoke, as if my life and his were the same thing.
03:28But I private tell anymore.
03:29There was a swing in the garden now.
03:30A private chef.
03:319.99 flowers every day.
03:33He was building me a gilded cage and calling it love.
03:35That night, he pulled me to the window.
03:37The sky lit up.
03:38All for me.
03:39I love Emma.
03:40The words were written in fire across the sky.
03:42The nurses outside gasped.
03:44So romantic, they said.
03:45So sweet.
03:45But I only felt the cold.
03:47Because the man who lit those works was the same man who destroyed me.
03:50After he fell asleep, I reached for his phone.
03:52His password was still my birthday.
03:54How romantic.
03:55How useful.
03:56I unlocked it, and there it was.
03:58The name I already knew I would find.
04:00Jas.
04:01The chat went on for miles.
04:02Even tonight, during the fireworks, they never stopped talking.
04:05Considerate.
04:06Generous.
04:07The perfect mistress.
04:09Silly, you're my wife.
04:10If I don't care about you, who will I care about?
04:12These tender words.
04:13They stung more than any crash ever could.
04:15But I wiped the doors.
04:17Fast.
04:18Clean.
04:19Then I raised my own phone.
04:21Click.
04:22Evidence.
04:22No more illusions.
04:24Three days.
04:25I was healed enough to leave.
04:26But Aiden had a surprise waiting.
04:28A surprise.
04:28The reporters noticed the donation.
04:30They want you there.
04:32Come, have some fun.
04:33The car was already there.
04:34500 million.
04:34Donated in my name while I lay unconscious.
04:37His guilt wrapped in charity and displayed for cameras.
04:44I walked that red carpet like a ghost.
04:46Everyone saw a philanthropist.
04:49I saw a price tag.
04:51The gala began.
04:52On the screen, children in rural schools received aid.
04:55I watched.
04:56For a moment, something in her chest loosened.
04:58Aiden saw my smile.
04:59The first real smile in days.
05:01He squeezed my hand.
05:02And just like that, it vanished.
05:03Then the stage light shifted.
05:04The host stepped out.
05:05And Emma's blood ran cold.
05:07The host stepped into the spotlight.
05:09Jasmine.
05:10My smile died on my face.
05:11I had no idea she was hosting.
05:13Don't worry.
05:13I'll have her replaced right now.
05:14But before he could even reach for his phone, Jasmine raised the remote and pressed play.
05:19No.
05:20Not this.
05:21Not here.
05:22That suffocating despair.
05:23It crashed over her like a wave.
05:25Five years and it had never really left.
05:26I sat frozen.
05:27Every eye in the room on me.
05:30Bastards!
05:31Turn that off now!
05:32I can't stop it!
05:33I couldn't hear any of it.
05:34Only that word echoing.
05:35Woof.
05:36Woof.
05:36Woof.
05:37Woof.
05:37Aiden carried me upstairs.
05:39Away from the cameras.
05:40Away from the eyes.
05:41His jacket around my shoulders.
05:42His arms around my body.
05:44Emma.
05:44Don't be afraid.
05:48I promise you, I will give you an explanation for this.
05:51But I had learned to listen for the lies underneath.
05:54One hour.
05:54Then the door burst open.
05:55Aiden dragged Jasmine in.
05:57Hey, Neil.
05:58Apologize to my wife.
05:59Or forget about surviving in this industry.
06:01I'm sorry, Emma.
06:02I'm so, so sorry.
06:02I don't know why that video appeared.
06:04Please don't blame me.
06:05Please.
06:05Em, what do you think?
06:06Should we forgive her?
06:07Or should we make her kneel another hour?
06:09Such a brutal punishment.
06:11Such a generous offer.
06:12Before I could speak, the door burst open.
06:15Miss Young, why are you kneeling?
06:17Did you orchestrate the video leak?
06:18The marriage certificate with Mr. Campbell, was it a fake?
06:20Aiden shielded me.
06:21Always the perfect protector.
06:23But his jaw was clenched.
06:24His fingers curled into a fist.
06:27He shielded me to the car.
06:29Tapped on his phone the whole way.
06:30Arranging something.
06:31His expression was grave.
06:33It's too chaotic here.
06:33Let's go home first.
06:34You must be exhausted.
06:36Drink this and rest.
06:36He brought me a cup of warm milk.
06:38Yet it smelled off.
06:39The moment he turned around, I spat it all out.
06:41Then I headed to my room.
06:42And pretended to be asleep.
06:44Sure enough.
06:45The moment he thought I was asleep, Aiden grabbed his keys and left.
06:48I followed.
06:49All the way to Jasmine's apartment.
06:50A mob had gathered outside.
06:52Anti-fans.
06:53Throwing paint.
06:54Rotten food.
06:54Screaming threats.
06:55Jasmine sobs came through the door.
06:57Take them all.
06:57Police station.
06:58Get the Campbell Group's best lawyers.
06:59I want the maximum sentence.
07:00The guards dragged the mob away.
07:02The street went quiet.
07:03Then she ran out.
07:04Aiden!
07:05What took you so long?
07:07I was so scared.
07:08Don't be scared, sweetheart.
07:09I'm here.
07:09I'll never let it happen to you again.
07:10Sweetheart.
07:11That word.
07:12He used to call me that.
07:13Now it belonged to someone else.
07:14My enemy.
07:15That embrace.
07:16That voice.
07:17It pulled me back.
07:19Years ago.
07:20Another dark night.
07:23Don't be afraid.
07:24I chased the bad guys away.
07:26I will protect you.
07:27That same voice.
07:28Those same words.
07:29Now spoken to my enemy.
07:31The man who gave an orphan a home.
07:32Had taken it back and given it to someone else.
07:36You've got me now.
07:37You don't have to be afraid of anything.
07:38I really wasn't the one who played that video.
07:39Why do they blame every mistake on me?
07:41I know you were set up.
07:41I had to wrong you to calm Emma down.
07:43But I never expected the reporters to burst in.
07:44This is on me.
07:45Let me make it up to you.
07:46The door isn't even closed.
07:48I'm not sure if it's just my imagination.
07:49But right before the door clicked up,
07:51Jasmine shot a taunting glance straight towards where I was hiding.
07:54I drove home in a daze.
07:55And that wedding photo on the wall.
07:57Five years of it stared down at me like a joke.
07:59I opened the drawer.
08:00Five years of weekly gifts.
08:01Jewelry.
08:02Trinkets.
08:02Love notes.
08:03Photos.
08:03All of them.
08:03Into the box.
08:04I worked quickly.
08:05Now my old sheet music.
08:06The compositions I wrote before my throat was destroyed.
08:09Those I kept.
08:10Those were never his.
08:11By the time I finished,
08:12the sky was turning pale.
08:14Then the front door opened.
08:15Aiden was back.
08:16Emma, why are you up so early?
08:18I didn't answer.
08:19I just looked his collar.
08:20At the red mark there.
08:22The company system collapsed last night.
08:24Emergency meeting.
08:25I didn't want to wake you.
08:26Those are all the things I gave you.
08:28Why did you pack them up?
08:30I don't want them anymore.
08:31I don't want them anymore.
08:33Okay.
08:34Then I'll buy you new ones.
08:35He thought I was just being emotional.
08:37He didn't realize I meant him, too.
08:40Some idiot signed Jasmine as our spoke herster.
08:43It's too much trouble to change now.
08:44What do you think, Em?
08:46My heart clenched Jasmine's name in their home from his mouth.
08:51Since you've already decided, there's no need to ask me anymore.
08:55Emma, don't be angry.
08:57Actually, have you ever thought maybe Jasmine was innocent back then, too?
09:01What if the drug she gave you wasn't the real cause?
09:03What if someone switched it just to ruin both of you?
09:07I looked at him.
09:08Time in five years, I didn't recognize the man standing in front of me.
09:13And what about these?
09:14Were these also an accident?
09:19She destroyed my life.
09:20My throat.
09:22My career.
09:23My everything.
09:24And you still think she's incident?
09:27Wait here.
09:28I'll take care of it.
09:29A crash from downstairs shattered the silence.
09:31My phone buzzed.
09:32Unknown number.
09:33The message read,
09:33If you still haven't learned to tuck your tail between your legs, I have more tricks waiting.
09:36I knew that tone.
09:37Jasmine.
09:38And then I saw the photos online.
09:39Yesterday's kneeling twisted into a story of Emma the bully.
09:42The comments were a flood of poison.
09:43Outside the window, a mob had gathered, screaming for justice.
09:46For Jasmine.
09:52It's okay now, Em.
09:53Don't be scared.
09:56Agent, I'm being followed.
09:57I think they want to kidnap me.
09:58Please save me.
10:01Emma, what did you do to Jasmine?
10:03You suspect me?
10:05Enough.
10:05Let it go.
10:06Jasmine's just a girl.
10:07She can't handle this kind of threat.
10:10Aiden, do you really care about her that much?
10:12I'm sorry, Em.
10:13Just do it for the company.
10:15For me.
10:16Tell me where she is, okay?
10:18What if all of this is just Jasmine directing and acting in her own play?
10:22Look.
10:25Emma, you've disappointed me so much.
10:26Over a decade of companionship, five years of marriage, and I was the one who disappointed
10:31him.
10:33Aiden took every guard with him.
10:34The villa was wide open, and the mob downstairs.
10:37They noticed.
10:38Footsteps.
10:38On the stairs.
10:39Running.
10:40Many of them.
10:40The wall vibrated against my back.
10:42I raised my arms to protect myself.
10:44A baseball bat rose above me.
10:46And Aiden wasn't there.
10:47I woke to suffocating darkness.
10:50A blindfold.
10:51A gag.
10:52A sack tightened around my body.
10:54Jasmine, is this the stalker fan who had people tailing me yesterday?
10:59It was Aiden's voice.
11:01I tried desperately to make him hear me.
11:04But before I could make him understand...
11:05Behave.
11:06His voice was ice.
11:08Like I was nothing.
11:09Like I was trash.
11:10Aiden, this is the person.
11:12She's been hating on me for years.
11:14Not only did she hire people to follow and try to kidnap me yesterday, but she also
11:18deliberately leaked the charity gala video to frame...
11:20Aiden's voice came again, fury seeping through every word.
11:23What a beast.
11:24Don't worry, sweetheart.
11:25I promised you I'd make whoever was behind this pay.
11:27Now it's time.
11:27My eyes shot wide open.
11:29I understood everything now.
11:30Jasmine had orchestrated everything.
11:31The kidnapping.
11:32Framing me as the stalker.
11:33So Aiden would torture me with his own hands.
11:35I desperately wanted to explain.
11:37But the pain from that kick tore through my body.
11:39With my mouth gagged, only broken whimpers escaped.
11:41All right, sweetheart.
11:42Don't look.
11:43It's filthy.
11:44I didn't know which hurt more.
11:45My body or my heart.
11:47When I opened my eyes again, I had been tossed into the grass on the remote outskirts of the
11:51city.
11:52Two unread messages.
11:53One from Aiden, apologizing sweetly.
11:55I smiled, utterly desolate.
11:58I forced myself up, hailed herds for cab, and return turned to pack.
12:02Then blocked Aiden, deleted every photo, erased every trait.
12:06Before leaving, I left two things for Aiden.
12:08The wedding ring I had worn for five years.
12:10Now stained with blood.
12:11No longer pure, nowhere clean, and my phone.
12:13My Jasmine's anonymous texts, evidence of Aiden's cheating, and the audio recording from the
12:18kidnapping.
12:18One look, and he would know every zetting he had done.
12:20The moment the last tear from my cheek, burned away.
12:23From now on, I would never be trapped by this past again.
12:26At the exact same time, Aiden was having dinner with Jasmine in a private room at a high-end
12:30restaurant.
12:31Jasmine kept putting food on his plate, looking docile and affectionate.
12:34But Aiden's gaze stayed fixed on her smooth, white arms.
12:37He was thinking of me.
12:39Of my scar-covered arms.
12:40Of those calm yet sorrowful eyes when I showed my scars.
12:43All of this was done by Jasmine.
12:45What's wrong, Aiden?
12:46What are you thinking about?
12:47Jasmine back then?
12:49Why did you bully Emma like that?
12:51He couldn't quaint that gentle, kind face with the who ruined me.
12:53So he asked directly.
12:55Then the tears came.
12:56I know this trick all too well.
12:58Aiden, I explained this to you before, didn't I?
13:00I'm from a single-parent family.
13:01My father owed huge gambling debts.
13:03If I took the principal me from my dad, it would have beat me to death.
13:06I had no other choice.
13:07And back then, I really only verbally warned Emma.
13:10Getting physical, that was all done by others.
13:12I tried to stop them, but I couldn't.
13:13Aiden, are you still blaming me?
13:15Aiden frowned deeply.
13:16He had believed every word of this once.
13:18But all of this, his pity for her, his secret marriage to her, it all had one single premise.
13:22That I had already been healed.
13:23That I would never shed tears over these wounds again.
13:25Yet everything he had seen recently, those sorrowful eyes of mine, reminded him.
13:28I never truly forgot.
13:29He, my husband, had secretly married my enemy behind my tied back.
13:32Irjan Bellel was eyed him.
13:33He needed to confirm I was still as okay.
13:34He pulled out his phone.
13:35His appeal was from replied instantly.
13:37Even when delayed, I would call to with him.
13:38Silence.
13:39He must have felt something was very wrong.
13:41Block.
13:45Where are you going?
13:46Didn't you said you'd probably have a baby because I got scared?
13:48Emma also got scared because of your fans.
13:50And she's very angry right now.
13:51She even blocked me.
13:51I have to go check her.
13:52No, Aiden, I'm begging you.
13:53Don't, Emma.
13:53I post this clarification right now.
13:55I'll say the kneeling incident was purely a Mr. Standing.
13:57Stay and keep me baby, okay?
13:59Still in Jasmine's embrace, he opened the tracking app.
14:01My location showed the villa.
14:03All right.
14:03He breathed out, a slight relief.
14:05He thought I was just throwing a tan for Brieham.
14:07Aiden, I did everything you said.
14:08Can you please not leave?
14:09He stayed.
14:10That night they boarded a flight to Paris.
14:11The auction, at the concert.
14:13He was constantly somewhere else because his heart kept thinking of me.
14:17The auction began.
14:19Jasmine entered confidently on Aiden's arm.
14:23Lose you.
14:23Lose you.
14:25Whatever she pointed at, Aiden raised his paddle and won it without hesitation.
14:29A top-tier pink diamond necklace appeared, its soft radiance flooding the room.
14:35Even Aiden, who had seen countless treasures, raised an eyebrow, his eyes fixed on it.
14:40He thought of me.
14:41It reminds me of the smile I had when I was wearing this necklace.
14:44Aiden bid without a ceiling, overpowering everyone to secure the necklace.
14:49Jasmine's face flushed red.
14:51She instinctively assumed it was for her.
14:53I have another use for this necklace.
14:55It's not for you.
14:56He carefully opened the box and took a photo to send to me.
15:00Red exclamation mark appeared.
15:01I still hadn't unblocked him.
15:03Aiden's expression went glacial.
15:05He snapped the box shut and walked away.
15:08Contact the pilot.
15:09We're returning home immediately.
15:10Didn't we agree to stay longer?
15:12I am still angry.
15:13He can't delay.
15:14Without looking back, Aiden got into the car.
15:16Jasmine had no choice but to follow.
15:18In the car, he clutched the necklace box, guilt nodding at him.
15:22The plane took off and soon landed.
15:24Aiden left Jasmine behind and rushed straight to the villa.
15:27The moment the car pulled into the villa, Aiden rushed inside.
15:31But the villa was dead silent.
15:33There was no trace of me.
15:35Every room he checked was empty.
15:37I had vanished.
15:39He completely panicked.
15:41I was gone.
15:44Em, are you here?
15:46He turned on the lights.
15:48The villa remained silent.
15:52The wedding photo on the wall had been smashed to pieces.
15:55All the toys and ornaments we had collected from around the world were completely gone.
16:02It was as if I had never existed.
16:08The emptiness pressed in on him like a weight.
16:10Um, where are you?
16:12Stop scaring me, okay?
16:14A voice called out from from behind him.
16:17Aiden!
16:18He turned, almost smiling, but the face he saw was Jasmine's.
16:22His expression turned to ice.
16:24Who told you to come here?
16:26Don't call me that.
16:27Get out.
16:28Aiden, Emma isn't home right now.
16:30You don't need to be this worked up.
16:32Aiden grabbed her wrist, his grip fierce and ice cold.
16:35How do you know Emma isn't here?
16:37Did you take her?
16:39Speak.
16:39Where is Emma right now?
16:41No, Aiden.
16:41You misunderstood me.
16:43She held up her phone.
16:45On the screen was my account.
16:48I just saw the landscape photo she posted.
16:50She's vacationing abroad right now.
16:53The photo was posted just two hours ago.
16:56Where is she?
16:57Where is this?
16:58He wished he could fly to my side this very second.
17:02Jasmine watched him, her expression unreadable.
17:06Aiden vowed silently.
17:07He would hold me tight and never let me out of his sight again.
17:11Jasmine quickly pulled the phone back, her expression shifting to one of considerate understanding.
17:16Aiden, Emma went overseas without telling you because she still hasn't forgiven you.
17:19She wants space to clear her head.
17:21If you chase after her now, you'll only upset her more.
17:23Aiden's urgency wavelled.
17:25He didn't understand social apps, and the account matched my name and photo so he instinctively believed her.
17:30But she can't just go abroad alone, I'm worried.
17:32His worry came with a cold pull in his chest.
17:34Jasmine lowered her head, hiding a sly smile.
17:37She didn't know where I had gone either.
17:39She only knew I hadn't been home for days.
17:41So she dared to fake this account to stall Aiden.
17:43What she wanted was time.
17:45Time to execute the next step of her plan.
17:48Jasmine thought for a moment, then spoke with calculated patience.
17:52Aiden, instead of running after Emma in a panic, use this time to figure out how to win her forgiveness.
17:58Then when she comes back, maybe her anger will have cooled off.
18:01What do you mean?
18:02Come with me.
18:04I'll tell you what to do next.
18:05She pulled Aiden into the car, but his mind was still completely filled with me.
18:10It wasn't until he was led inside that he realized something was wrong.
18:16Countless gorgeous red roses and a confession scene filled with romantic balloons stretched before him.
18:23Jasmine took a bouquet and faced Aiden, her face blushing.
18:27Aiden stood frozen, the realization dawning on him.
18:30Aiden, I've been preparing these things for a long time.
18:33You hid it from Emma and everyone else to be with me for five years and Emma still doesn't appreciate
18:38you at all.
18:39She keeps picking fights and wearing you down.
18:41So I want to say, don't love her anymore.
18:44Love me.
18:44Aiden did not take the bouquet.
18:46His eyes turned to ice.
18:52Delete those recordings right now.
18:55If a single picture gets out, I'll bankrupt every one of you.
18:58I wasn't there.
19:00I didn't see any of this.
19:01But I know him.
19:02I know the way he moves when he's furious.
19:04Fast.
19:04Rough.
19:04Like he's trying to outrun his own fear.
19:09What the hell are you doing making such a huge scene?
19:12Are you terrified this won't reach Emma's ears?
19:14He said my name.
19:15Even when he was standing in front of her, he was thinking about me.
19:18She must have hated that.
19:19I just love you.
19:20I wanted a chance to openly and fairly compete with Emma for you.
19:24What did I do wrong?
19:26You only make time for me and I've been secretly for five years.
19:29They deflocked you me and they all have a gent.
19:31What gives you the right to treat me like this?
19:33I want you to for yourself right now in your heart.
19:36Who is more important, me or Emma?
19:39I asked him to choose, but there was never a choice, not for him.
19:42I really don't have time to deal with your tantrums right now.
19:45Move.
19:45I'm going to bring Emma home.
19:46I won't allow it.
19:48Photos of us playing Paris were taken by passersby and now it's on the trendy page.
19:53Everyone knows about our relationship now, including Emma.
19:56So you must choose one between me and Emma.
19:59I saw those photos later.
20:01His hand on her waist.
20:02Her lips on his.
20:03It looked like a love story.
20:05But public opinion never meant anything to him.
20:08Only I did.
20:11I later heard that Aiden actually reached out and directly choked Jasmine, gripping her
20:17neck so hard he almost lifted her off the ground, the fury in his eyes reaching its peak.
20:23Then he violently threw Jasmine to the floor, turned around, and contacted his assistant
20:28to take down the trending copics.
20:30He wasn't an idiot.
20:32This series of repeated coincidences instantly made him realize it was all intentionally orchestrated
20:37by Jasmine.
20:41He shot Jasmine an incredibly contemptuous look, then directly grabbed her arm and hauled
20:47her up.
20:48Come with me.
20:50Showing no pity, he dragged Jasmine all the way out.
20:59Picked up a document his assistant had prepared on the desk, glanced at it, and threw it hard
21:03in Jasmine's face.
21:04No, Aiden, we can't get a divorce.
21:05I know I was wrong.
21:06I'll never dare force you again, but you can't abandon me.
21:09This time you crossed a line you can't come back from.
21:11Sign this and leave immediately before I truly lose my temper.
21:13Jasmine's body trembled violently, with that ruthless look of Aiden's after all.
21:17That was exactly how he looked at me five years ago, when she bullied me and it was
21:21exposed.
21:23Aiden, when you're in a better mood, I'll come see you again.
21:28Find out where my wife went for vacation and book me the earliest flight there.
21:31I had already erased myself from every system he could reach.
21:34By the time he realized I was nowhere to be found.
21:42What did you say?
21:43Mr. Campbell, if you don't believe me, please come to the records office yourself.
21:48Is Emma still mad at me, so she purposely had you say this to trick me?
22:10She can't be found in the system anymore.
22:13How could this be?
22:14Right after I left, Emma was perfectly fine staying at the villa.
22:18Even if she was angry at me, she had only blocked me and cut off contact.
22:22But why now?
22:23Did she even cancel her identity records?
22:26What exactly is she trying to do?
22:28So Emma, in order to prevent him from finding her, didn't even take her phone.
22:36The 10th.
22:37The 10th, so early.
22:39Wasn't that the day Jasmine accidentally posted the marriage certificate?
22:50I left the ring.
22:52Five years.
22:53Never once took it off.
22:54But a ring can't hold a marriage together when only one person believes in it.
22:58Could there's blood on the ring?
22:59My blood.
23:00What happened?
23:01Was she injured?
23:02Who exactly did this?
23:04No, it's definitely not that simple.
23:06Could someone have hurt her before she left?
23:08He sees it now, but he didn't see me then.
23:10He never saw me.
23:11And now it's too late.
23:13Aiden.
23:14If only you knew the truth I've carried all this time.
23:18I captured everything.
23:21Every lie.
23:22Every moment you think I didn't see.
23:28He never knew it was me.
23:31That day, when he raised his hand against the stalker, he was raising it against his own wife.
23:36Jasmine made sure of that.
23:38She wanted him to hurt me.
23:40And he did.
23:49Aiden, it was me, all along.
23:53I was the one who endured everything while you thought it was someone else.
24:00Jasmine, you never change.
24:02Who are you?
24:03I'm calling the police!
24:09The one you thought power, Fliss, is stronger than you imagine.
24:14Who exactly are you?
24:16Did Emma send you?
24:18Let me tell you, if you know what's good for you, you let me go immediately.
24:22Don't think just because Emma has Aiden by her side, she's so amazing.
24:26If Aiden finds out you dare treat me this way, we'll absolutely never let you off.
24:30She still believed he loved her, even tied up in a sack.
24:33Even after everything she'd done, she still believed it.
24:37Some people, never change.
24:39He made them beat her for two hours.
24:42Two hours.
24:43The same way I was beaten.
24:44By the fans she hired, by the car she arranged, by every scheme she ever set in motion.
24:50Only this time someone was watching over her.
24:53No one ever watched over me.
24:55Salt water on open wounds.
24:57He poured it himself.
24:58The same hands that once held me now held a bucket of pain for someone else.
25:03I don't know if that's justice.
25:05I just know it doesn't undo anything.
25:09Aiden, why are you doing this to me?
25:14Why am I doing this to you?
25:16Actually, I want to ask you instead, why did you do that to Emma?
25:20And these, open your damn eyes and look closely.
25:25No, no, it's not true, Aiden.
25:27You've been deceived.
25:28Do you think I'm an idiot?
25:29I've handed all this evidence over to the authorities, and I will send the best lawyers from the Campbell Group
25:34to fight you in court.
25:35Jasmine, you can forget about ever getting out of prison for the rest of your life.
25:38He gave her the ending she deserved.
25:40But no prison sentence can give me back those five years.
25:46Um, I've taken revenge on the person who hurt you.
25:49Where are you?
25:50Just let me see you once, okay?
25:51He called my name.
25:52Soft, like a prayer.
25:54But I wasn't there to hear it.
25:55I was already gone.
25:56And some distances can't be closed with a whisper.
25:59The internet cursed him.
26:00The stock price crashed.
26:01He lost everything they once cared about.
26:04But he didn't flinch.
26:05He said it was peniment, the penance he owed me.
26:08And then he made a vow.
26:10Not for the cameras.
26:11Not for redemption.
26:13Just for himself.
26:14Ten days or ten years, he would find me.
26:18Two years passed.
26:19I, now known as Lucy, became the band's arranger.
26:23Pay attention to the breathing here.
26:25Let me show you.
26:29But my old throat injury never fully healed.
26:33The band members grew protective of me.
26:40Lucy, your throat again?
26:42I'm calling Ward right now.
26:44No, I'm fine.
26:45Just a little rest.
26:46Don't bother him.
26:49But the man I tried not to bother appeared right on cue.
26:57Why so polite with me, my fiancé?
27:00Oh!
27:02He looked at me with undisguised warmth.
27:06The band exploded with teasing.
27:12I remembered the day I first arrived.
27:14Bruised.
27:15Broken.
27:17And met by the shock in Jack's eyes.
27:20Jack took me to the hospital without a word.
27:23He stayed by my side, asking nothing but to comfort.
27:27Until one night at a bar, a competitor drugged him.
27:32Confusion led to something neither planned.
27:36Jack swore to take responsibility, but I refused.
27:39I feel my heart is scarred all over.
27:42Emma, do you not like me?
27:44No.
27:44I just don't want to make things difficult for you.
27:48Then you take responsibility for me.
27:50Promise to be with me, okay?
27:52For two years, his quiet care tightened my throat.
27:55For me, he turned down his family's arranged marriage, took me for treatment, bought me instruments from abroad.
28:01Emma, thank God I went to find you.
28:04I can't imagine what could have happened.
28:05Jack, if you like me that much, let's be together.
28:08I pulled myself back from the memory.
28:11The teasing was still ringing in ears.
28:13Didn't Lucy arrange a new piece for you?
28:15Go practice.
28:16Her throat needs rest.
28:17He deflected the attention, as he always did, to protect me.
28:22I've been too busy lately.
28:24In a week, we'll hold a celebration.
28:26Consider this our apology for keeping it secret.
28:33The room filled with cheers.
28:36Jack quietly took the empty cup from my hand.
28:39Emma, does your throat still hurt?
28:42Shall I take you for another checkup?
28:44Don't be so tense.
28:46I'm fine.
28:47We agreed to try on wedding glams today.
28:49Remember?
28:50Let's go.
28:51I treated our wedding with full sincerity.
28:54Jack's heart warmed at my words.
28:56Jack led me into a high-end bridal boutique.
28:59But as I tried on gowns, a strange unease crept in.
29:04A burning gaze followed me from outside the glass.
29:08I turned, and my blood ran cold.
29:11My face stiffened, then hardened.
29:13I grabbed Jack's hand and walked straight out.
29:16Em.
29:18I finally found you.
29:21After you left, I investigated everything.
29:24Jasmine was vicious.
29:25I didn't know what she did to you.
29:27I even raised my hand against you.
29:29I know I was wrong.
29:30Mr. Campbell, that fake marriage certificate meant nothing.
29:33I was never your wife.
29:34I'm getting married.
29:35Don't ever disturb me again.
29:39I made Jasmine pay.
29:41I hurt myself, too.
29:43I thought seeing this might ease even a fraction of what I owe you.
29:46I looked at his scars with a flat gaze.
29:48No softness.
29:49No heartache.
29:50I think Mr. Campbell is clear on Emma's meaning.
29:52Playing dumb helps no one.
29:54Please go back.
29:55The intimate gesture drove a blade through Aiden's chest.
29:58Don't touch her!
29:59Take your dirty hands off Emma!
30:01Drag him away.
30:03Don't let him ruin our wedding fitting.
30:09Emma!
30:10I will definitely bring you home!
30:13I held my forehead.
30:15The exhaustion was bone deep.
30:17Emma.
30:18He won't give up this easily.
30:20He'll come harass you again soon.
30:24Move into my house.
30:26Stay with me.
30:27I'll protect you.
30:29Before the wedding, I won't do anything you don't want.
30:31A separate room.
30:32Full freedom.
30:33I only suggested this because I'm afraid he'll take you away.
30:36It's okay, Jack.
30:38Let's do as you said.
30:39That evening, Jack brought me to his villa.
30:42He prepared a room, gave me a goodnight kiss, and left me to rest.
30:46Goodnight.
30:47But as I sat alone, a familiar melody drifted through the wall.
30:51A song I sang eight years ago.
30:57Why do you have my song?
30:59Eight years ago, I brought this CD abroad with me.
31:02During the hardest time of my life, your voice pulled me through.
31:06I looked you up only to find your throat was ruined.
31:08So I decided to form a band, hoping one day you'd accept my invitation.
31:13Why?
31:15Have you never told me any of this?
31:19I was afraid it would drag you back to the worst parts of your past.
31:23But that's okay.
31:24I swear I'll spend the rest of my life being good to you.
31:32I stepped forward and held him tight.
31:35No more hesitation.
31:37No more walls.
31:39Okay, Jack.
31:40I believe you.
31:43In that moment, two broken hearts quietly became one.
31:48Before Aiden, I was just a helpless orphan.
31:51After Aiden, I never thought I could find happiness again.
31:55But Jack appeared, and told me so clearly.
31:59I was this important in his heart.
32:02The broken pieces finally began to feel whole.
32:07A week later, Jack and I held our wedding in Ireland.
32:12To us, Ireland meant forever.
32:16No turning back, no change.
32:24I now pronounce you husband and wife.
32:31We completed all the ceremonies.
32:34Then, amidst a sky full of rose petals, we held each other tight.
32:47Meanwhile, back in Australia, Aiden had found the wedding location.
32:52Or so he thought.
32:53But there was no one there.
32:57Where is Emma?
32:58Where is she?
33:00He must be Mr. Cangale.
33:02Well, Ms. Butler is likely already married to Mr. Ward in Ireland by now.
33:06You're too late, I'm afraid.
33:08He staggered back.
33:09I really had lied to him, just to keep our wedding safe from him.
33:12Ms. Butler asked me to give you this.
33:16Ms. Butler asked me to tell you,
33:18do you remember the promise you made when you were 20?
33:20To protect her for life, and never let her be hurt again.
33:23But you broke your promise.
33:25Now, her final request is simple.
33:27Let her go.
33:28Aiden closed his eyes.
33:29He could still see the moment that photo was taken.
33:31When he opened them again, it all felt like another lifetime.
33:41Okay, Emma.
33:42I promise you.
33:44He would watch my happiness from the shadows.
33:47The last love he could give me was letting go.
33:50I am the very book.
33:50I am the only one who looks like me.
33:51I am the one who looks like me.
33:51I am the one who looks like me.
33:52I am the one who's in my world,
