00:00:00Valentine's Day night, she sees it, her husband Roland's wedding ring, inside her patient.
00:00:06His initials are on it, her eyes widen and blood turns to ice.
00:00:11Just then, Roland's friends start talking right outside the door.
00:00:14Roland! Wait, doesn't your wife work here? What if we run into her?
00:00:19Relax. Even if she finds out, so what?
00:00:22She's a washed-up heiress with a used history.
00:00:25Marrying Roland was a total upgrade for her.
00:00:28If she catches us, she'll just throw a little fit, nothing to worry about.
00:00:34Anna looks up. An hour ago, he texted her an apology.
00:00:38Now, he listens to the insults and stays silent.
00:00:42Anna's ears rang, and with his silence, her heart slowly sank bit by bit.
00:00:47They're right. She was married before, but she did it for him.
00:00:52They were childhood sweethearts. It was supposed to be perfect.
00:00:56Three years ago, his family tried to kill him for the fortune.
00:01:00He ended up in a coma.
00:01:01To save his life, the only liver donor made a demand.
00:01:05Anna must marry him.
00:01:07One year, just to fool my family. After that, we're done.
00:01:10To save Roland, Anna agreed.
00:01:13A year later,
00:01:15The marriage ended.
00:01:16The moment Roland woke up, she told him everything.
00:01:20With tears in his eyes, Roland said,
00:01:23I don't mind. You suffered for me. I'll make it up to you.
00:01:30He did exactly what he said.
00:01:33He rebuilt his empire and gave her a wedding the whole world saw.
00:01:37Anna thought the nightmare was over.
00:01:40She was wrong.
00:01:42His I don't mind was a lie.
00:01:44He never got over her past.
00:01:46Still in shock,
00:01:47the door swings open.
00:01:49She looked up and met the face she had loved for years.
00:01:52The moment Roland saw her,
00:01:54Roland freezes.
00:01:55He sees his ring in the tray and looks away.
00:01:58So,
00:02:00you know?
00:02:00Before she can speak,
00:02:02the curtain pulls back.
00:02:03Roland's eyes shift.
00:02:04He pushes past Anna,
00:02:05rushing to the other woman.
00:02:07Sophia, are you okay?
00:02:08I'm fine, Roland.
00:02:10It's just,
00:02:11down there still hurts a little.
00:02:14Roland panics.
00:02:15He glares at Anna,
00:02:17his voice icy.
00:02:18Take it out on me,
00:02:19not her.
00:02:20You're a doctor.
00:02:21Don't take your petty jealousy out on Sophia.
00:02:24Anna stands frozen.
00:02:27She can't believe what she's hearing.
00:02:29He cheated,
00:02:29and now he's insulting her profession.
00:02:31No apology.
00:02:32No explanation.
00:02:33He just walks out with Sophia at home.
00:02:37Her wedding photo looks like a sick joke.
00:02:40She remembers him on their wedding day.
00:02:42He looked so triumphant.
00:02:44Anna,
00:02:44I've wanted this since I was 16.
00:02:46Finally.
00:02:47By the time the memory reached that point,
00:02:50tears blur her vision.
00:02:51She wipes her face.
00:02:52No going back now.
00:02:55She snaps a photo of the marriage certificate.
00:02:58Draft the divorce papers.
00:02:59Not long after she sent the message,
00:03:01a reply came back.
00:03:04I'm sorry,
00:03:05Miss Anna.
00:03:06I can't handle a divorce for you two.
00:03:11I can't handle a divorce for you two.
00:03:13Because this marriage certificate of yours is fake.
00:03:17What did you say?
00:03:19How can the marriage certificate be fake?
00:03:21It sounds crazy,
00:03:23until the lawyer's next text turns her pale.
00:03:25Since we were a friend,
00:03:26I can tell you,
00:03:27Mr. Roland,
00:03:28the man you mentioned is legally married.
00:03:30But the marriage registration wasn't two years ago.
00:03:33It was one week ago.
00:03:34And the name in the spouse box named Sophia.
00:03:37The words hit her like a punch.
00:03:39Her hands shake.
00:03:40For two years,
00:03:41the marriage she thought she had was nothing but a lie.
00:03:43From the very beginning,
00:03:44he never married me.
00:03:45He was waiting for Sophia.
00:03:47The sound of the door lock snapping open jolts her back.
00:03:50To reality.
00:03:51Roland was back.
00:03:54Seeing her sitting blankly.
00:03:56He took off his coat.
00:03:59Sat beside her.
00:04:00And asked.
00:04:01It is so late.
00:04:02Why aren't you asleep yet?
00:04:03When Anna said nothing,
00:04:05Roland softened his tone a little.
00:04:06What?
00:04:07Are you still mad?
00:04:09Honey.
00:04:10Men get cravings for something new occasionally.
00:04:12You have to let me have my little
00:04:14mistakes.
00:04:15Mistakes.
00:04:16Anna echoed the word with bitter self-mockery in her voice.
00:04:20How could you possibly be wrong?
00:04:22Being with his legal wife isn't a mistake,
00:04:24is it?
00:04:24All right, honey.
00:04:25Roland thought she was throwing a tantrum,
00:04:28so he patiently kept talking.
00:04:29It is true that I really like Sophia now,
00:04:31but you're still Mrs. Roland.
00:04:33I married you publicly.
00:04:34That never changes.
00:04:35Anna snaps her head up.
00:04:37She can't believe it.
00:04:38Mrs. Roland,
00:04:39what a sick joke.
00:04:40She shoves him off and heads to the guest room.
00:04:43Two years of lies,
00:04:44and he's still at it.
00:04:46As she plans her escape,
00:04:48the door clicks open.
00:04:51Roland grabs her waist,
00:04:52breathing hard.
00:04:53Anna jumps.
00:04:55What are you doing?
00:04:56Don't touch me.
00:04:57She fights,
00:04:59but he pins her down anyway.
00:05:00She's exhausted,
00:05:01but then she sees a used condom in the trash.
00:05:04They never use this room.
00:05:06It was him and someone else.
00:05:08Anna felt the blood rush straight to her head.
00:05:11She shoves him off with everything she's got.
00:05:14Get off me!
00:05:15Roland is stunned.
00:05:17He didn't expect that.
00:05:18He frowned,
00:05:19and a flash of impatience crossed his eyes.
00:05:22What is it now?
00:05:23Stop dragging this out.
00:05:25I was with you when I was 17, Roland.
00:05:28You betrayed me,
00:05:30and you even brought her home.
00:05:33How can you be this filthy?
00:05:36Roland laughs.
00:05:37He points at himself,
00:05:38mocking me.
00:05:39Anna,
00:05:39you are calling me filthy?
00:05:40You were in my bed at 17.
00:05:41You slept with another man for a year while I was dying.
00:05:44What right do you have to judge?
00:05:45As he said that,
00:05:46he slams her face into the mattress in a fit of rage.
00:05:51Don't move.
00:05:52His voice was hoarse and impatient.
00:05:54The moment he finished speaking,
00:05:55he roughly yanked apart her dress and forced himself into her.
00:05:59Anna gives up.
00:06:00She closes her eyes and endures the assault,
00:06:03letting tears slide down the corners of her eyes.
00:06:07A few muffled groans escaped,
00:06:09and the filthy sounds stopped as abruptly as his thrusts.
00:06:12Roland exhales.
00:06:14Seeing her broken,
00:06:15he feels a tiny bit of guilt.
00:06:17Be good.
00:06:18You had your year.
00:06:19I'll have mine.
00:06:20It's only fair.
00:06:21After this year,
00:06:22we'll be fine.
00:06:23He heads to the shower.
00:06:25Anna lies there,
00:06:26dead inside.
00:06:27Her body aches,
00:06:28but her heart is shattered.
00:06:29She stares at the door
00:06:30and smiles a tragic smile.
00:06:32But Roland,
00:06:33there can't be an us anymore.
00:06:36Anna got up
00:06:36and called the department director at the hospital.
00:06:41Is that overseas program still open?
00:06:43I want in.
00:06:45He says yes.
00:06:47She breathes.
00:06:48Okay.
00:06:49I'll leave on time in one week.
00:06:53This training program would keep three years.
00:06:55She starts prepping the next morning.
00:06:59She went to handle her visa,
00:07:01then returned to the hospital
00:07:02to take care of her transfer papers.
00:07:04At the clinic,
00:07:05a colleague stops her.
00:07:07A patient wants Anna specifically.
00:07:09She hurriedly changed clothes
00:07:10and rushed to the department.
00:07:11The patient is Sophia.
00:07:13Inside the room,
00:07:14Anna forced down the emotions
00:07:15and stays professional.
00:07:17Sophia had no intention
00:07:18of letting her off that easily.
00:07:20After the exam,
00:07:21she asked,
00:07:22Anna,
00:07:23is my body okay?
00:07:26Nothing serious.
00:07:28It is just a little swollen.
00:07:30No sex for a few days.
00:07:32Let it heal.
00:07:34Seeing how calm she was,
00:07:35a flash of surprise
00:07:36and resentment crossed Sophia.
00:07:38I can't.
00:07:40My man is...
00:07:43intense.
00:07:44At that point,
00:07:45she stops with a fake blush.
00:07:47Even on video last night,
00:07:48he wanted to.
00:07:50But it is fine.
00:07:51I told him to go find
00:07:52some other woman to handle it.
00:07:54Anna freezes as she pulls off her gloves.
00:07:56The memory of last night makes her sick.
00:08:01Hannah?
00:08:02Are you okay?
00:08:03Why is your face so pale?
00:08:05Sophia sounded concerned,
00:08:07but the smugness was impossible to hide.
00:08:10I am fine.
00:08:11If this patient has nothing else,
00:08:14you can leave now.
00:08:15Anna grips the desk to stay steady.
00:08:17Sophia doesn't move.
00:08:18She walked up to Anna,
00:08:20dropping the innocent act.
00:08:21With a provocative look,
00:08:22she whispers,
00:08:23Anna,
00:08:23you know what Roland says.
00:08:25He's disgusted that you were with another man.
00:08:27He calls you second-hand goods.
00:08:29The words sting.
00:08:30Anna's eyes widened,
00:08:32and her pupils shrank sharply.
00:08:33Sophia turns to leave,
00:08:35triumphant,
00:08:36but Anna's voice stops her cold.
00:08:37If he hates me so much and loves you,
00:08:40why hasn't he kicked me out yet?
00:08:42Or can't you make him?
00:08:44Sophia chokes.
00:08:45Her smug smile vanishes,
00:08:47her face turning a furious red.
00:08:49Enjoy it while it lasts.
00:08:51I'm taking your place.
00:08:52Just wait and see.
00:08:54Anna ignores her.
00:08:55Sophia slams the door on her way out.
00:08:57By the time the paperwork is finished,
00:08:59it's dark.
00:09:01Anna hesitates by the window,
00:09:02then dials a number she hasn't called in years.
00:09:07Anna, what is wrong?
00:09:10Robert's voice sounded clearly surprised.
00:09:12Dad, I'm moving for work.
00:09:14I won't be home for Christmas.
00:09:17Why so suddenly?
00:09:19Robert's voice is probing.
00:09:21Roland, is he going with you?
00:09:23No, just me.
00:09:24We're not together anymore.
00:09:27To be exact, they never were.
00:09:29Silence on the line.
00:09:30Then, a quiet acknowledgement.
00:09:32Okay.
00:09:32After hanging up,
00:09:33Anna stood there for a while.
00:09:35She remembers when her father actually loved her.
00:09:38But after her mother died and the company went bust,
00:09:41he started a new family.
00:09:42They became strangers.
00:09:44She's been looking after herself since she was a teenager.
00:09:46That's why she clung to Roland like a drowning woman to a life raft.
00:09:50With a bleak smile,
00:09:52she heads back to collect her things.
00:09:54But when she opens her door,
00:09:56she hears Sophia's voice inside.
00:09:58Roland isn't even hiding it anymore.
00:09:59He looks at her and smiles.
00:10:02She was curious about where I live,
00:10:03so I let her move in for a bit.
00:10:05You don't mind, do you?
00:10:08Anna looks at the man she trusted and the home she built.
00:10:11She starts to laugh.
00:10:12She's leaving anyway.
00:10:14Of course I don't mind.
00:10:16He can bring the whole world home for all she cares.
00:10:18Roland freezes.
00:10:19His smug expression cracks.
00:10:21He expected tears, screams, a meltdown.
00:10:24Not this easy.
00:10:25Yes.
00:10:26Anna ignores his gaze and starts packing her bedroom.
00:10:30As she clicks the suitcase shut,
00:10:33Roland walks in.
00:10:34He looks at the mess and frowns.
00:10:39Honey, what are you doing?
00:10:42Packing my things.
00:10:44He doesn't even look at him.
00:10:46Making room for you too.
00:10:47Roland's face darkens as he slams a hand on her suitcase.
00:10:51Stop the drama.
00:10:52Where else are you going to go?
00:10:53You've got nobody but me.
00:10:54Anna pauses.
00:10:55Her voice is ice.
00:10:57That is none of your business.
00:10:59Roland lets out a frustrated laugh.
00:11:01He lets go of the suitcase, suddenly confident.
00:11:04Fine, leave.
00:11:05But what about this?
00:11:06You giving up on this too?
00:11:08He pulled a pendant out from under his collar.
00:11:10Anna freezes the moment she sees it.
00:11:12Her mother's protective charm.
00:11:14She gave it to him the year of the accident.
00:11:16She used it to pray for his life.
00:11:18Now he's using it to blackmail her.
00:11:20Give it back to me.
00:11:21Roland smirks.
00:11:22He finally has her where he wants her.
00:11:24Sure, but you are not a child anymore.
00:11:26Running away is for kids, don't you think?
00:11:28Anna stands in silence.
00:11:30Nails digging into her palms.
00:11:32Taking her silence as surrender, Roland walks out.
00:11:35Over the next few days, she's forced to watch their romance.
00:11:38The man who swore he'd only ever cook for her is now a personal chef for Sophia.
00:11:43Every sweet word he ever said to her is being recycled for another woman.
00:11:47They kiss and touch in front of her.
00:11:49At night she's forced to hear them through the walls.
00:11:51Even with a pillow over her head, their moans stab into her ears like red hot needles.
00:11:56It's pure torture, but Roland won't let her leave.
00:11:59One night, after their session, he knocks on Anna's door in his bathrobe, looking satisfied.
00:12:04Sophia wants lotus root soup.
00:12:06You're good at that.
00:12:07Get up and make some for her.
00:12:08Anna starts to refuse, then spots the pendant.
00:12:11She swallows her pride.
00:12:13Okay.
00:12:14She got up and went to the kitchen.
00:12:16Only after making a pot of soup did she head upstairs.
00:12:18Before she can sleep, the door is kicked open with a bang.
00:12:22Roland is lit.
00:12:23He yanks her out of bed by the collar.
00:12:25What did you put in the soup?
00:12:26Sophia is throwing up non-stop.
00:12:28She shakes her head, but it only fuels his rage.
00:12:31Don't lie!
00:12:32Who else could it be?
00:12:33You are a doctor, and you are drugging people out of jealousy.
00:12:36Get up!
00:12:37You are coming to the hospital with us!
00:12:39He's screaming, dragging her out like a criminal.
00:12:42Her leg slams into a cabinet, tearing a bloody gash, but he doesn't even glance back.
00:12:46In the hospital hallway, Anna sits barefoot in her nightgap.
00:12:50The blood on her leg has dried, and there's still no sign of them.
00:12:53She limps to the door to hear the verdict, but Roland's rage has turned into joy.
00:12:58He held Sophia's hand, his face full of open delight.
00:13:01This is amazing, Sophia.
00:13:02You're pregnant.
00:13:03I promise, this child will be my only heir.
00:13:06Sophia hides a flash of pure triumph.
00:13:08But when Anna was pregnant, you made sure she had that accident.
00:13:12I thought you hated kids.
00:13:14Roland's gentle smile doesn't change, but his words pierce Anna like ice.
00:13:18The man she loved for ten years uses his most familiar voice to say the most brutal thing.
00:13:25She can't compare to you.
00:13:27You're clean.
00:13:28Only a woman like you deserves to carry my legacy.
00:13:31Outside the door, Anna stands frozen.
00:13:33The truth hits her like a lightning bolt.
00:13:35Her miscarriage.
00:13:36It wasn't an accident.
00:13:38Six months ago, she was glowing over a positive pregnancy test.
00:13:41Then, a servant accidentally shoved her down the stairs.
00:13:45When she woke up, Roland looked regretful as he told her the baby was gone.
00:13:50She cried for weeks.
00:13:51Roland held her every night, whispering sweet lies.
00:13:54Don't cry, honey.
00:13:55We'll have another baby later.
00:13:57And yet, she blamed herself, drowning in guilt for not being careful enough.
00:14:01But it was all a setup.
00:14:02All because he thought she was tainted.
00:14:04But she'd told him a thousand times that previous marriage was a sham.
00:14:08She'd never slept with another man.
00:14:09He claimed he believed her.
00:14:11He knew how much she craved a real home.
00:14:13Thinking of her agony and his crocodile tears.
00:14:16A wave of nausea hit her.
00:14:17Anna lunged for the bathroom, dry heaving over the toilet.
00:14:20Nothing came up but bile and tears.
00:14:22Her stomach twisted in knots.
00:14:24The noise drew the two lovers out of the room.
00:14:26Roland froze at the door when he saw her.
00:14:28What is wrong?
00:14:29He reached out to help.
00:14:30But a sharp scream from behind stopped him cold.
00:14:33Sophia bolted in tears.
00:14:34Without a second thought, Roland pulled back and chased after her.
00:14:38It was late when Anna left the hospital.
00:14:40The midnight wind cut through her like a knife.
00:14:42She barely made it a few steps before a heavy thud landed.
00:14:46Darkness swallowed her as pain exploded in the back of her head.
00:14:49When Anna woke up, she found herself inside a sack.
00:14:52Bound hand and foot, mouth taped shut.
00:14:54She was trapped.
00:14:55A heavy drink slammed into her stomach.
00:14:57Cold sweat drenched her face instantly.
00:14:59The nightmare had just begun.
00:15:01A mob surrounded her, raining down a brutal barrage of hips.
00:15:04No escape.
00:15:05She could only curl into a ball and endure the violence.
00:15:08The beating only stopped once her mouth was filled with blood.
00:15:11And her organs felt like they'd been put through a meat grinder.
00:15:14The thugs were reporting to someone nearby.
00:15:16Still no blood after that?
00:15:18Guess she really isn't pregnant.
00:15:19After a chilling silence, a voice she knew all too well pierced the air.
00:15:23Did you hear that?
00:15:24Sophia, now you can stop worrying, right?
00:15:27Hmm, Roland?
00:15:28You are so good to me.
00:15:29They walked away laughing, leaving her in a deafening silence.
00:15:33Lying in a pool of tears and blood, Anna let out a chilling, hollow laugh.
00:15:37The boy who swore to protect her forever.
00:15:39The lover who once cried at her slightest pain.
00:15:42The man she loved for ten years.
00:15:44He died three years ago.
00:15:48Fighting through the agony, she began to claw at her restraints.
00:15:51Her wrists were rubbed raw and bloody, but the knots wouldn't budge.
00:15:54Just then, Roland rushed over.
00:15:56He tore off the ropes, his voice dripping with fake concern.
00:16:00I just heard you were kidnapped.
00:16:01I got here as fast as I could.
00:16:03Honey, are you okay?
00:16:04Anna managed a bitter smile.
00:16:06She didn't have the strength to call out his bullshit.
00:16:08Her silence unnerved him.
00:16:10Roland looked away, unable to meet her eyes.
00:16:13It is okay.
00:16:14It is all over now.
00:16:15I'll take you home.
00:16:16Maybe out of guilt, he played the devoted husband for the next two days,
00:16:20nursing her back to health.
00:16:21On the third day, Sophia demanded a vacation.
00:16:24Roland hesitated, but Anna played the perfect wife.
00:16:27I am fine.
00:16:28You two should go.
00:16:29Roland froze.
00:16:31Really?
00:16:31I knew you were the most understanding.
00:16:33Then stay home and recover.
00:16:34I'll be back soon.
00:16:35As soon as he left, Anna slipped on the lucky charm she'd swiped from him.
00:16:39She got rid of the nanny and forced herself out of bed.
00:16:42The training program left this afternoon.
00:16:44This was her only shot.
00:16:45She packed her essentials and dragged her battered body toward the door.
00:16:49Gripping the handle, she felt a surge of relief.
00:16:51This was finally going to end.
00:16:53She took one last look at her prison and turned the handle.
00:16:56Bang!
00:16:57The suitcase fell to the floor.
00:16:58Anna's eyes widened in horror, the color draining from her face.
00:17:02Standing outside was a wall of black suits.
00:17:05Roland stood at the front, his face twisted into a menacing, mocking grin.
00:17:09Anna, you don't actually think you can leave me, do you?
00:17:11He stepped close and ripped her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.
00:17:14You really wanted to leave me?
00:17:15Bold move.
00:17:17If your father hadn't tipped me off, you might have actually made it.
00:17:20Anna went rigid.
00:17:21Her own father sold her out.
00:17:22Robert emerged from the crowd, looking like a guilty dog wagging its tail.
00:17:26Anna.
00:17:27He spoke, but his eyes wouldn't stay still.
00:17:29I am doing this for your own good, too.
00:17:31You are not a child.
00:17:32Stop throwing tantrums and stay with Roland.
00:17:35Think about it.
00:17:36You are a woman.
00:17:37What can you even do after divorce?
00:17:39Roland is a powerful man.
00:17:41He provides for you, for all of us.
00:17:43What more do you want?
00:17:44Anna closed her eyes, the crushing realization sinking in.
00:17:47Her father had always used her to pave the way for his precious son.
00:17:50He'd finally gotten what he wanted, at the cost of his daughter's life.
00:17:56Dad.
00:17:57He lied to me.
00:17:58He cheated.
00:18:00He brought another woman into our home to humiliate me.
00:18:04And you are saying, I am still not satisfied.
00:18:08Every word felt like a shard of glass in her throat, raw and bleeding with pain.
00:18:12Robert turned away, unable to stomach the sight of her broken spirit.
00:18:16Roland frowned, momentarily speechless.
00:18:19A ringing phone shattered the tension.
00:18:21It was Sophia, demanding his attention.
00:18:23Roland snapped back to reality.
00:18:25I am leaving.
00:18:26Sophia is still waiting for me.
00:18:28Just calm down first.
00:18:29We'll talk when I get back.
00:18:30A flash of unease crossed his face.
00:18:32He signaled the guards to seize her phone and back.
00:18:35I'll hold on to these for now so you don't go running around.
00:18:37Roland turned to leave, but then suddenly stopped.
00:18:40Oh, right.
00:18:41As if it were a minor detail.
00:18:43I've already handled your resignation with the hospital.
00:18:45You don't need to work.
00:18:46Just stay home and rest.
00:18:47Anna jerked her head up.
00:18:48No, you can't do this.
00:18:50You have no right to make decisions for me.
00:18:53Her words stung, making him walk even faster, as if he were running from his own conscience.
00:18:59To anyone else, he just looked like a man in a hurry to see his mistress.
00:19:02With Roland gone, Robert beat a hasty retreat as well.
00:19:06The bodyguard opened the villa door.
00:19:08Please go in, Mrs. Anna.
00:19:09Anna stared at the house, aunt's her sanctuary.
00:19:12Now her slaughterhouse.
00:19:13The thought of being caged here made her lungs seize up.
00:19:16No ID, no phone, no money.
00:19:18She was trapped.
00:19:19She walked in, defeated, only to be slammed onto the sofa the second the door shut.
00:19:24What are you doing?
00:19:25Let me go!
00:19:27Her screams fell on deaf ears.
00:19:28One guard, annoyed by a scratch on his face, backhanded her hard.
00:19:32Her head whipped to the side, her vision spinning into darkness.
00:19:36Right then, she heard the two men talking.
00:19:38Miss Sophia, only to film the part where we sleep with her!
00:19:41Isn't hitting her a bit too much!
00:19:43What are you scared of?
00:19:44Miss Sophia said that Mr. Roland sees the video.
00:19:47He'll toss this trash to the curb.
00:19:49Who is going to protect her then?
00:19:51Nobody.
00:19:52The other guard let out a filthy, guttural laugh.
00:19:55True.
00:19:56Let's make sure we really enjoy ourselves tonight then.
00:19:59One started setting up the camera while the other began stripping.
00:20:02Anna seized that gap, sprang to her feet, and ran for her life.
00:20:07Disheveled and half-dressed, she didn't dare look back.
00:20:10She just kept running, fueled by pure terror.
00:20:13At her breaking point, a car screeched to a halt right in front of her.
00:20:16The window rolled down, revealing a face she never expected to see again.
00:20:20Alexander, her partner in a brief transaction marriage.
00:20:23Her ex-husband, he opened the car door.
00:20:29His gaze lingered on her exposed skin before he quickly looked away.
00:20:32Anna got into the car.
00:20:34The moment the door clicked shut, and the villa vanished from the rearview mirror,
00:20:37Anna finally snapped.
00:20:39The terror finally caught up to her.
00:20:41Every horrific detail, the hands on her clothes, the sting of the slap,
00:20:45the sound of the belt unbuckling, replayed in a loop of pure trauma.
00:20:49Her body started trembling uncontrollably.
00:20:51She leaned against the window, shaking like a leaf in the wind.
00:20:54Then she cried.
00:20:55They flowed in silence.
00:20:57Huge, heavy drops of grief.
00:20:59She bit her lip until it nearly bled,
00:21:01her only sounds being the occasional, ragged gasp for air.
00:21:04Alexander glanced at her, and said nothing.
00:21:06Eventually, the storm inside her began to settle.
00:21:09She finally found her voice.
00:21:11Why were you here today?
00:21:12Alexander paused, choosing his words carefully.
00:21:15Looking at him, a harsh reality hit her.
00:21:18She had gotten into his car, but what now?
00:21:20No ID, no phone, no money, nowhere to go.
00:21:23No matter what.
00:21:24She heard her own voice, dry and strained.
00:21:27Thank you for today, if it is possible.
00:21:31She wanted to beg for a place to stay.
00:21:33I have nowhere to go tonight.
00:21:34But the words died in her throat.
00:21:36It was a huge ask for an ex-husband she hadn't seen in two years.
00:21:40Alexander caught her eye in the mirror, reading her mind.
00:21:43Actually, I came here to find you today.
00:21:45He suddenly spoke.
00:21:46I need your help with something.
00:21:48You need my help?
00:21:49With what?
00:21:50He turned to face her, his expression serious.
00:21:53Grandma is on my case about getting married again, and she really likes you.
00:21:57So if you are willing, I hope we can get remarried.
00:21:59Anna's eyes slowly widened.
00:22:01Streetlights flashed across his face, a rhythmic dance of light and shadow.
00:22:05It was just like three years ago.
00:22:07He'd made the same cold, calculated proposal then, waiting for her answer.
00:22:11During their year together, he had been the perfect gentleman.
00:22:14Never a line crossed.
00:22:15Honestly, he was a pretty good man to marry.
00:22:18Anna hesitated, then stared out at the passing city.
00:22:21Okay.
00:22:24Alexander's grip tightened.
00:22:25A flash of something longing, relief, flickered in his eyes before vanishing.
00:22:30They hit the main road just as a silver car approached from the opposite direction.
00:22:34Roland was at the wheel, looking like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders instead of a
00:22:39vacation.
00:22:39Beside him, Sophia was all smiles, babbling about their trip.
00:22:43The two cars passed each other, in a blur.
00:22:45Roland whipped his head around, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.
00:22:49Roland, what is wrong?
00:22:51What are you looking at?
00:22:52Sophia's voice pulled him back to reality.
00:22:55Narration he turned back, but his hands were shaking on the wheel.
00:22:58I'm seeing things, he thought.
00:23:00There's no way that was Anna.
00:23:01He had her phone, her ID.
00:23:03She was trapped.
00:23:04She should be at home, under lock and key.
00:23:06Thinking that, his expression eased a little.
00:23:09It is nothing.
00:23:09Sophia went back to her phone, scrolling through travel guides.
00:23:13Roland, let's hit the beach first.
00:23:15I found this gorgeous spot for the sunrise.
00:23:17She kept chirping, but Roland was deaf to it.
00:23:20That silhouette, and the look of pure despair in Anna's eyes when he left haunted him.
00:23:24He took a deep breath, trying to shake the feeling.
00:23:27At a red light he reached for his chest, and froze.
00:23:30The lucky charm Anna gave him, was gone.
00:23:32His heart skipped a beat, his face went pale.
00:23:35That tiny spark of doubt exploded into full-blown panic.
00:23:38He couldn't breathe.
00:23:39He yanked the wheel, holding a violent return.
00:23:42Tires screeched, shocking Sophia.
00:23:44Roland, what are you doing?
00:23:46We're going the opposite way.
00:23:48Something came up.
00:23:49He didn't even look at her.
00:23:50I have to go back.
00:23:51Go back?
00:23:52Go back where?
00:23:54The villa.
00:23:55But if we do that, we'll miss our flight.
00:23:57You promised me the sunrise.
00:23:59For the first time, her pouting didn't work.
00:24:02She started sobbing, but he ignored her, flooring the gas pedal.
00:24:05The car screeched to a stop in front of the villa.
00:24:07Roland stormed inside.
00:24:09The living room was dead silent, empty.
00:24:11Anna!
00:24:12He shouted once, but no answer.
00:24:14He grabbed a guard by the collar.
00:24:17Where is she?
00:24:20The bodyguard's face pales, his eyes darting toward the door.
00:24:23Sophia is standing there, looking a little pale.
00:24:26Speak!
00:24:27Roland shouts.
00:24:28Where is she?
00:24:30She...
00:24:31She ran.
00:24:33Roland's face turns dark.
00:24:37She ran!
00:24:38What do you mean, she ran?
00:24:39Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her?
00:24:41And you still let her get away?
00:24:43Are you useless?
00:24:44The bodyguard cowers, not daring to breathe.
00:24:47Roland shoves him aside and kicks the table over.
00:24:51Glass shatters everywhere.
00:24:53Sophia recoils in terror.
00:24:54Find her!
00:24:55His voice is almost a roar.
00:24:57Check every lead, every contact.
00:24:59Tear this city apart if you have to.
00:25:01Just find her!
00:25:01What are you waiting for?
00:25:04The bodyguards scramble out in a panic.
00:25:06Roland stands amidst the wreckage, chest heaving.
00:25:09Watching him, Sophia is torn between toxic jealousy and cold fear.
00:25:14She has never seen him like this.
00:25:15The man who always stays cool is falling apart over a second-hand woman.
00:25:20Thank God her little scheme failed, or the consequences would be unthinkable.
00:25:24She masks her fear with a submissive smile and brings a glass of water into the study.
00:25:30Roland, have some water and calm down.
00:25:33Roland rubs his temples, irritably.
00:25:37Sophia is the sensible one after all.
00:25:39Thrilled by the praise, Sophia bites her lip and pushes her luck.
00:25:43Honestly, if she left, then she left.
00:25:47It is no big deal.
00:25:48From now on, I'll stay with you.
00:25:51Roland pauses while drinking and looks up at her.
00:25:53That look makes Sophia's back turn cold for no reason.
00:25:57What nonsense are you talking about?
00:25:59Sophia gulps, forcing a weak smile.
00:26:02I just mean, we're a family now.
00:26:06The three of us, isn't that enough?
00:26:09Roland's irritation boils over.
00:26:11Shut up!
00:26:12Sophia's smile freezes on her face.
00:26:14You, what do you mean?
00:26:16Her voice starts to tremble.
00:26:18We're legally married.
00:26:19I'm your wife, and I'm carrying your child.
00:26:22Roland cuts her off, coldly.
00:26:24I only married you to shut you up.
00:26:26You said that was all you wanted.
00:26:28Sophia freezes.
00:26:30As for the child, I'll take responsibility, but I can't leave Anna.
00:26:35I don't want to hear that kind of talk again.
00:26:37He can't leave her.
00:26:38Sophia's eyes widen.
00:26:40She can't believe her ears.
00:26:42He imprisoned her, let her be humiliated and broken, and now he claims he can't live without her.
00:26:48She wants to scream, what about her?
00:26:52But she remembers the prenup to play the innocent girl she signed away everything.
00:26:56If they divorce, she gets nothing.
00:27:01Clinging to her lifestyle, she swallows her rage and bites her lip.
00:27:05She lowers her head and softens her voice.
00:27:16As she walks out, a flash of pure malice crosses her eyes, unnoticed by him.
00:27:23Standing by the window, Roland looks at the empty house.
00:27:26For the first time, it feels wrong.
00:27:29He believed Anna would always be there, waiting for him.
00:27:33But now, she is gone.
00:27:39This loss of control feels like a boulder on his chest, suffocating him.
00:27:4410 years, from 17 to 27, they've been together forever.
00:27:48Anna was part of his DNA.
00:27:49Her importance was never a question.
00:27:51Without her, maybe he would have died long ago.
00:27:54After his brush with death, he convinced himself her marriage during his coma was just a charade to save him.
00:27:59But later, he can't stop himself from overthinking.
00:28:04Where did she live, that year?
00:28:07How did she get along with that man?
00:28:10She's beautiful.
00:28:12Would any man really keep his hands off her?
00:28:16Once the seed was planted, it grew like a cancer.
00:28:19Every breakfast became a reminder that she might have shared it with someone else.
00:28:24Her smile at the door would freeze his heart, wondering if she'd smiled at him like that too.
00:28:30Even in bed, the thought of her in another man's arms killed his desire instantly.
00:28:38He knew it was likely all in his head, but he couldn't stop the spiral.
00:28:43Imagination is a sadistic bitch.
00:28:46He hated his mind, and by extension, he hated her for it.
00:28:50Why?
00:28:51Why was he loyal his whole life while she came to him as used goods?
00:28:57These thoughts twisted around his heart like poisonous vines, until they wrap around his whole mind.
00:29:03So that night, drunk and bitter, when Sophia confessed her feelings, he didn't push her away.
00:29:10Sophia was the intern innocent.
00:29:12Fresh, and looking at him like he was a god.
00:29:15She says it is her first time.
00:29:17She says she only likes him.
00:29:19It was the ego boost he craved.
00:29:21The perfect antidote.
00:29:23That validation became his new drug.
00:29:25But leaving Anna, that was never the plan.
00:29:31He just wanted to hurt her back.
00:29:33To make her feel the same agony he did.
00:29:36He figured once she'd suffered enough, they'd go back to normal.
00:29:42Roland wipes his face.
00:29:44His anger has completely curdled into pure terror.
00:29:47He drops everything.
00:29:48The only mission now is finding Anna.
00:29:51He hits every spot.
00:29:52Her favorite cafe, the bookstore, her old apartment.
00:29:56He hounded everyone.
00:29:58Coworkers.
00:29:59Friends.
00:30:00Even people she hasn't seen in years.
00:30:02Nothing.
00:30:03No one has seen a trace of her.
00:30:05It's like she vanished into thin air.
00:30:11Roland has no idea that the woman he's hunting for is right under his nose.
00:30:19At Alexander's, Villa.
00:30:21Anna sits in the living room, finally clear-headed and calm.
00:30:26The house is a time capsule.
00:30:29The same furniture.
00:30:30The gray curtains she picked.
00:30:32Even that crystal ornament is exactly where she left it.
00:30:36When she left back then, she thought never come back again.
00:30:42Yet here she is, by some twist of fate, discussing marriage with the same man for the second time.
00:30:57Alexander's voice pulls Anna back from her thoughts.
00:31:00She turns to see him holding a stack of invitations, waiting patiently for her choice.
00:31:06I am fine.
00:31:07I just zoned out.
00:31:09Sorry.
00:31:12She's been here two weeks.
00:31:14Alexander even brought in a private doctor to look after her.
00:31:18Once she recovered, the wedding plans began.
00:31:21She expected a quiet paperwork marriage.
00:31:23But he's going all out.
00:31:25It was grandma's request.
00:31:30She said we did you wrong last time.
00:31:33She wants to make it up to you.
00:31:35Since it's for his grandmother, Anna doesn't push back, she just nods.
00:31:40She sifts through the cards and picks a classic floral design.
00:31:44Let's go with this one.
00:31:46Alexander takes it, looks at it, and nods.
00:31:50Okay.
00:31:51By the time the invitation hits Roland's desk, he's already losing his mind.
00:31:56When the secretary walks in, he jerks his head up, thinking there is finally news about her.
00:32:03Sir, this isn't about your wife.
00:32:06The secretary treads lightly.
00:32:08The boss has been a ticking time bomb lately.
00:32:10What is it, say it?
00:32:12We received a wedding invitation for you, sir.
00:32:15Roland rubs his temples, exhausted.
00:32:18What invitation?
00:32:19Decline it for me.
00:32:20He's a mess unshaven, dark circles under his eyes.
00:32:24A wedding is the last thing he wants.
00:32:27But...
00:32:27The secretary pauses, then adds...
00:32:29It... It's Mr. Alexander's wedding.
00:32:32Roland pauses, then finally relents.
00:32:34I got it.
00:32:35I'll go.
00:32:38He takes the card and flips it open.
00:32:44A ringing phone stops him from reading the card.
00:32:47He sees Sophia on the screen, and his face sours.
00:32:51He ignores it until it goes to voicemail.
00:32:54But she's relentless.
00:32:55She calls again immediately.
00:32:59Irritated, he picks up, his voice devoid of any warmth.
00:33:03What is it?
00:33:05Sophia's tearful voice comes through.
00:33:08Roland, where have you been these past few days?
00:33:11Why haven't you come home?
00:33:12I'm scared here alone, and I'm not feeling well.
00:33:15Can you come take me to the hospital?
00:33:17Roland's scowl deepens as he cuts her off.
00:33:19Have the maid take you.
00:33:20I don't want the maid with me.
00:33:22I want you to come back.
00:33:23Roland.
00:33:24His patient snaps.
00:33:25He hangs up on her.
00:33:28His search for Anna reaches a fever pitch.
00:33:30He's still making calls on his way to the wedding.
00:33:35Jack, that surveillance footage, did you find it?
00:33:39Whatever he hears only makes his mood worse.
00:33:41What do you mean you can't find it?
00:33:43The cameras are fine, but the footage of her is just missing?
00:33:47You expect me to believe that's a coincidence?
00:33:50Fine.
00:33:51Keep checking.
00:33:53Scour every camera.
00:33:55People don't just vanish into thin air.
00:33:57The car pulls up to the hotel.
00:33:59Mr. Roland, we're here.
00:34:00The driver turns around.
00:34:02Roland nods and steps out, phone still glued to his ear.
00:34:06And check with her hospital colleagues again.
00:34:08See if she reached out to any of them.
00:34:10He talks as he enters.
00:34:12The entire hall is booked out.
00:34:14A sign sits at the entrance.
00:34:17Alexander's name is clear, but the bride's name is hidden by flowers.
00:34:20Roland doesn't give it a second look.
00:34:22He walks right past.
00:34:24He strides toward the ballroom, eyes scanning the crowd while he barks into the phone.
00:34:29Okay, keep watching.
00:34:31The second you get any news, let me know.
00:34:34He stops mid-sentence.
00:34:35His entire body freezes.
00:34:37There, at the center of the stage, stands the happy couple.
00:34:41The man is tall and straight in a black suit.
00:34:44It is Alexander.
00:34:45The woman beside him is in a white gown, her hair up, showing a delicate profile.
00:34:50It's Anna.
00:34:51She's smiling, leaning in to hear what Alexander is saying.
00:34:55It is Anna.
00:34:58His Anna.
00:35:03After a month of tearing the city apart to find her, here she is, in a wedding dress,
00:35:08smiling at another man.
00:35:09The voice on the phone becomes white noise.
00:35:11The crowd and the cheers fade into the background.
00:35:14His vision blurs.
00:35:15Everything disappears, except for Anna.
00:35:18She looks up.
00:35:19Her eyes scan the room and stop dead on him.
00:35:21Their eyes lock across the crowded room.
00:35:23Roland sees her hesitate.
00:35:25She looks surprised for a split second, but then it's gone.
00:35:28She looks away and goes back to her conversation with Alexander.
00:35:31She treats him like a total stranger, like he never existed.
00:35:35Her coldness is a knife to his chest.
00:35:37He turns pale as a ghost.
00:35:39A waiter bumps into him, snapping him out of the shop.
00:35:41He lunges forward and grabs her wrist.
00:35:44Honey, why are you here?
00:35:45What is this supposed to mean?
00:35:46Come home with me.
00:35:48Anna looks at his hand on her wrist, then looks him in the eye.
00:35:51Mr. Roland, today is my wedding.
00:35:54She speaks in a very calm voice.
00:35:56Where do you want me to go with you?
00:35:57The formal title hits him like a punch.
00:36:00Mr. Roland?
00:36:01She actually called him Mr. Roland.
00:36:03She hasn't called him that since they were 17.
00:36:05It was Roland, hubby, or even Roland LeBlanc when she was pissed.
00:36:10But never this.
00:36:11Honey, don't do this, okay?
00:36:13His voice trembles a little.
00:36:14I messed up.
00:36:15I know I did.
00:36:16I...
00:36:17I don't want that one year of freedom anymore.
00:36:19I take that back.
00:36:21I'll fire Sophia today.
00:36:22I'll cut her out of my life for good.
00:36:23Will that do?
00:36:24Just forgive me this once.
00:36:26Please, come home.
00:36:28But Anna smiles.
00:36:29Mr. Roland, whether you stay with Sophia is between you and your wife.
00:36:33It has nothing to do with me.
00:36:35Roland's head snaps up.
00:36:37His throat feels like sandpaper.
00:36:38You found out?
00:36:39She doesn't say a word.
00:36:41She doesn't have to.
00:36:42He tries to explain, but the words die in his throat.
00:36:45He thought he was so clever, and she'd never find out about the marriage certificate.
00:36:48But now...
00:36:49Honey...
00:36:50Every eye in the room is on them, but Roland doesn't care.
00:36:53He refuses to let go.
00:36:54I was just confused for a moment.
00:36:56I can explain.
00:36:57A shadow falls over them.
00:36:59Alexander steps in, prying Roland's hand off Anna.
00:37:02Mr. Roland, show some respect.
00:37:08Roland glares at Alexander, fury practically spilling out of him.
00:37:12He clenches his fists, his voice a low, lethal hiss.
00:37:15This is none of your business.
00:37:17Alexander actually smiles when he hears that.
00:37:19Today is our wedding.
00:37:20You're manhandling my wife.
00:37:22I'd say it involves me plenty.
00:37:24Roland grinds his teeth.
00:37:25The word wife is like salt in a wound.
00:37:27He's about to scream that he is her husband.
00:37:30Then, the emcee approaches.
00:37:32Mr. Alexander, Mrs. Anna, it's time.
00:37:35Please head backstage to begin the ceremony.
00:37:37Alexander nods, puts an arm around Anna, and leads her away.
00:37:41Roland stands frozen, watching them walk out of his life.
00:37:44Her white train glides across the floor.
00:37:46She looks exactly like she did the day he married her.
00:37:48Back then, she was glowing with love for him.
00:37:50Now, she's walking away toward a life with someone else.
00:37:53The wedding march begins.
00:37:55The lights dim, leaving a single spotlight on the stage.
00:37:58Watching them walk the red carpet hand in hand to thunderous applause, Roland snaps.
00:38:03He rushes the stage and grabs the mic before the host can speak.
00:38:06Wait!
00:38:07The music cuts.
00:38:08The room erupts and whispers.
00:38:10Through that thin veil, he looks at Anna.
00:38:12Anna.
00:38:12His voice trembles, but it carries through the whole hall.
00:38:15You can't marry him.
00:38:16The guests start buzzing like a hornet's nest.
00:38:19Who is that guy?
00:38:20Roland, I think.
00:38:21Looks like some CEO.
00:38:23What's going on?
00:38:23Is he trying to steal the bride?
00:38:25Alexander, however, is far calmer.
00:38:28Mr. Roland, interrupting the wedding of the woman I love is incredibly pathetic.
00:38:32Now please leave.
00:38:33Roland's face turns a dark shade of livid.
00:38:35The woman you love?
00:38:36He turns to the crowd, shouting now.
00:38:38Listen up, everyone.
00:38:39I have something to say.
00:38:40This woman, Anna, is my wife.
00:38:42You all remember our wedding three years ago.
00:38:44It was no secret.
00:38:45This wedding is a fraud.
00:38:46It doesn't count.
00:38:47The room explodes into chaos.
00:38:50Phones are out, filming everything.
00:38:52The whispers are deafening.
00:38:53Anna starts to panic.
00:38:54She lifts her veil to speak, but Alexander catches her hand.
00:38:58He gives her a steady look, then turns his fire back on Roland.
00:39:01You mean your wife?
00:39:02Funny, because according to the law, the only man she's ever been married to is me.
00:39:09He snapped his fingers, and the wedding photos on the big screen vanished instantly.
00:39:13In their place, Anna's marriage certificate.
00:39:16Roland's world shattered.
00:39:17The man Anna married to save his life was Alexander all along.
00:39:20The crowd erupted into a frenzy of whispers.
00:39:23Wait, they registered three years ago?
00:39:26So they were already married?
00:39:28Then what is this guy even trying to pull?
00:39:31Two guards rushed in, seizing Roland by the arms and dragging him toward the exit.
00:39:36Sir, please come with us.
00:39:37Roland panicked.
00:39:38He struggled and shouted.
00:39:40Anna, say something!
00:39:42Tell them about our ten years!
00:39:44You've been mine since you were seventeen!
00:39:45Tell them!
00:39:46Alexander spoke, quiet but lethal.
00:39:49My wife was young and naive.
00:39:50She met the wrong man, but that's ancient history.
00:39:52He paused, then took Anna's hand.
00:39:55Today is our wedding.
00:39:56Sorry for this little sideshow, but it's a good reminder.
00:39:59With a wife this captivating, I'd better cherish her even more.
00:40:02The guests chuckled at his dry wit, the tension dissolving into laughter.
00:40:06The music swelled, the MC blinked, then quickly regained his professional smile.
00:40:10It was as if the drama had been nothing but a fleeting farce.
00:40:14But Alexander's words had dealt Roland a soul-crushing blow.
00:40:17Young and naive.
00:40:18The wrong man.
00:40:19Long over.
00:40:20Their ten years together, reduced to a few dismissive insults.
00:40:23And Anna, she didn't flinch.
00:40:25She didn't argue.
00:40:26Roland went limp.
00:40:27His head spinning in a daze.
00:40:29Their decade of history.
00:40:30She had truly buried it.
00:40:32She really didn't want him anymore.
00:40:38The guards dumped Roland in the lobby like trash.
00:40:41But the celebration went on without him.
00:40:43A massive screen at the entrance was broadcasting the ceremony live.
00:40:49He watched in agony as they exchanged vows and rings.
00:40:53Then, the MC's voice echoed through the lobby.
00:40:55You may now kiss the bride.
00:40:58Roland's pupils contracted as Alexander leaned in to seal the marriage with a kiss.
00:41:03His eyes turned bloodshot.
00:41:05It felt like a jagged blade was carving his heart out.
00:41:08They had shared kisses.
00:41:09From their innocent first time to the heat of passion.
00:41:12He never imagined he'd be a spectator to another man claiming her lips.
00:41:16This was what a truly broken heart felt like.
00:41:20Roland stood paralyzed, frozen in time.
00:41:23He realized if this was his hell, how devastated must she have been.
00:41:27Fletching their wedding ring alone.
00:41:30Back then, all he cared about were his excuses and protecting Sophia.
00:41:35He never once thought about how Anna felt.
00:41:38He even brought Sophia into their home, forcing Anna to witness their intimacy.
00:41:43And then there was that marriage certificate.
00:41:46She craved a home so badly.
00:41:48How did it feel when she realized her marriage was a fraud?
00:41:51Back then, she must have been heartbroken.
00:41:53Roland's eyes reddened, and he didn't dare think any further.
00:41:56A cold breeze hit him, blurring his vision.
00:41:59He touched his cheek.
00:42:00It was wet, tears.
00:42:01He lingered outside the hotel for an eternity before dragging his hollow shell of a body hole.
00:42:08As he pulled up to the villa, one thought consumed him.
00:42:13Dump Sophia.
00:42:14End it now.
00:42:15Fast.
00:42:15Maybe.
00:42:16Just maybe.
00:42:17There was still a chance to get Anna back.
00:42:20The moment he stepped inside, he heard gasps coming from the security room.
00:42:24He frowned and walked over.
00:42:29Two maids were standing in front of the screen, and both jumped.
00:42:34What happened?
00:42:36What are you looking at?
00:42:37And nothing.
00:42:39Their hesitation set him off.
00:42:40His voice turned ice cold.
00:42:42What is it exactly?
00:42:44I...
00:42:44It's just...
00:42:45I lost my wallet, Mr. Roland.
00:42:47I was checking the footage to find it.
00:42:50I didn't expect to see...
00:42:51To see this.
00:42:53She glanced at his darkening face, the words failing her.
00:42:56You...
00:42:57You'd better look for yourself.
00:42:59Roland stepped forward and hit play.
00:43:01It was the living room.
00:43:02Feed.
00:43:03The two bodyguards he'd left to watch Anna were pinning her to the sofa, trying to assault
00:43:07her.
00:43:07Annoyed by her struggling, one of them backhanded her across the face.
00:43:10Miss Sophia, only to film the part where we sleep with her!
00:43:14Isn't hitting her a bit too much!
00:43:15What are you scared of?
00:43:16Miss Sophia said that Mr. Roland sees the video.
00:43:19He'll toss this trash to the curb.
00:43:21Who is going to protect her then?
00:43:22Nobody.
00:43:25True.
00:43:26Let's make sure we really enjoy ourselves tonight then.
00:43:29The footage cut to black.
00:43:32Roland's blood turned to ice.
00:43:35Rage consumed him.
00:43:36His eyes burning with a murderous fire.
00:43:46Only now did he realize the hell Anna endured the day she left.
00:43:50And the mastermind behind it all Sophia.
00:43:53The girl he thought was a pure, innocent angel.
00:43:58Sophia, you've really outdone yourself.
00:44:00He ground out the words through gritted teeth.
00:44:03The maids backed away, terrified by the sheer malice on his face.
00:44:07A storm was coming, and Sophia still had no idea.
00:44:11She was on a high, having spent the day blowing Roland's money at the mall.
00:44:15The lights were off, the curtains were drawn.
00:44:18Pitch black.
00:44:19The lights in the living room were off.
00:44:21The curtains were drawn.
00:44:23The whole room was sunk in darkness.
00:44:29Only the glowing cherry of Roland's cigarette flickered in the dark.
00:44:33Sophia's heart skipped a beat.
00:44:34She went silent instantly.
00:44:36Guilt kicked in.
00:44:37She tried to hide her hall, failed, and forced a fake smile.
00:44:42Roland.
00:44:42You're home early.
00:44:44You should have told me.
00:44:45I would have had dinner ready.
00:44:47Roland didn't answer.
00:44:48He just looked at her.
00:44:50His eyes were predatory, cold enough to make her skin crawl.
00:44:54Her smile faltered, but she still tried to play the cute card.
00:44:58What is wrong?
00:44:59Why are you looking at me like that?
00:45:02In a flash, his hands around her throat, squeezing hard.
00:45:04Sophia's face turned purple.
00:45:06Shopping bags crashed to the floor.
00:45:08She clawed at his arm, but his grip was like iron.
00:45:11Ro-Roland.
00:45:12What are you doing?
00:45:15She wheezed, desperate sounds escaping her throat.
00:45:17Roland leaned in.
00:45:18His bloodshot eyes inches from hers.
00:45:21He said, word by word.
00:45:23You've been playing me for a long time.
00:45:25Aren't you tired?
00:45:26I...
00:45:27I don't know what you are talking about.
00:45:29He let go.
00:45:30She collapsed, gasping for air and coughing violently.
00:45:35Roland looked down at her with disgust and threw his phone at her feet.
00:45:39It contained everything he had people investigate about her.
00:45:42Your innocence was fake and Hyman was repaired and even Anna was driven away by you.
00:45:46You did all this.
00:45:47Did you ever consider the price?
00:45:49His voice was low, but the authority in it was crushing.
00:45:52Sophia turned ghost white.
00:45:53Roland, it is not like that.
00:45:55She threw herself at him and grabbed his leg.
00:45:58Listen to me.
00:45:59I was just confused for a moment.
00:46:02But Roland kicked her away with one foot.
00:46:07Just confused for a moment?
00:46:09You hired thugs to humiliate her.
00:46:10You called out a mistake.
00:46:12I was wrong.
00:46:14I was really wrong.
00:46:16Roland, spare me for the sake of your child.
00:46:19I'll change.
00:46:20I swear.
00:46:21I'll apologize to Anna.
00:46:23I'll do anything to make it up to her.
00:46:26Make it up to her?
00:46:28Roland let out a cold laugh and his voice suddenly rose.
00:46:31She's married to someone else because of you.
00:46:34How the hell do you make up for that?
00:46:38Sophia froze.
00:46:40Married to someone else.
00:46:42The news caught her off guard, but a flicker of twisted joy lit up her eyes.
00:46:47Her delight was so obvious it made Roland's stomach turn.
00:46:50She was thrilled.
00:46:52Thrilled that Anna was gone for good.
00:46:55And that he was finally hers alone.
00:46:57True to form, she crawled back to him, looking up with a pathetic hope.
00:47:01Roland, since she's married, we can just forget the past, right?
00:47:05I only did it because I love you.
00:47:07Let's just be a family and live our lives.
00:47:09Listening to her devotion, Roland laughed as if she just told the funniest joke on earth.
00:47:16Love!
00:47:18A snake like you doesn't get to use that word.
00:47:21He stood up and clapped his hands.
00:47:23The door opened, and two men were shoved inside.
00:47:27Sophia looked up, and all the blood in her body turned cold.
00:47:30It was her two bodyguards, beaten, bloodied, and staring at her with hollow eyes.
00:47:35Roland!
00:47:36Her voice started shaking.
00:47:41You can't do this!
00:47:43I'm carrying your child, your own blood!
00:47:46Roland's face remained pure malice.
00:47:48The baby meant nothing to her now.
00:47:51Everything you made her suffer.
00:47:53You'll pay back a hundred times over.
00:47:55After saying that, he turned and walked out.
00:48:01He ignored her begging until a blood-curdling scream of pure despair tore through the house.
00:48:06He still didn't turn back.
00:48:08Meanwhile, Alexander and Anna's wedding had come to a perfect close.
00:48:12As they settled into the car, Alexander turned to her.
00:48:16Tired.
00:48:17Not tired.
00:48:19Alexander nodded.
00:48:20Then let's go home.
00:48:21When they arrived, Anna realized this wasn't their old place.
00:48:27Where is this?
00:48:29She asked, looking puzzled.
00:48:31He took her hand and led her to the front of a stunning villa.
00:48:34Our new home.
00:48:35One of your wedding gifts.
00:48:37Anna stood at the entrance, speechless.
00:48:40Come on.
00:48:42He smiled and opened the door.
00:48:45The lights hummed on automatically, bathing the space in a warm, inviting glow.
00:48:49Anna stood inside.
00:48:51Everything, the layout, the decor, even the colors was exactly her style.
00:48:54She was genuinely moved.
00:48:56Did you prepare all of this?
00:48:59Hmm.
00:49:01Do you like it?
00:49:02Anna turned around and looked at him.
00:49:05I really do.
00:49:06Thank you.
00:49:08Alexander gave her a gentle smile and checked his watch.
00:49:13You should rest early.
00:49:14Master bedroom's upstairs.
00:49:16I'll take the guest room.
00:49:18The guest room.
00:49:20Just like three years ago.
00:49:21She got the bed, he got the couch, every single day.
00:49:24But this time, she reached out and caught his sleeve.
00:49:28Stay tonight.
00:49:30Stunned, Alexander stopped and looked at her.
00:49:33I already know.
00:49:35His eyes narrowed, his pulse visible in his neck.
00:49:39His voice went hoarse, his gaze burning.
00:49:41With a mix of nerves and raw hope.
00:49:45Know what?
00:49:48Anna looked at him.
00:49:51Grandma told me.
00:49:52You didn't marry me by chance or because of her pressure.
00:49:56It is because you like me.
00:49:59The day before, grandma had shown her an old album.
00:50:03The cover was worn white with age.
00:50:08She opened it and pointed to a specific photo.
00:50:14A teenage boy was smiling under a tree.
00:50:18Beside him, a little girl with pigtails was handing him a flower.
00:50:22This boy is Alexander.
00:50:26And this girl is you.
00:50:30Seeing that she indeed looked confused, grandma sighed and began to tell the story that had long been blurred in
00:50:36her memory.
00:50:37Years ago, Anna's mother had taken her to visit the Shens.
00:50:41The moment she saw him, Anna was hooked, pestering him to play.
00:50:47Even when the adults joked that she should marry Alexander in the future, she agreed.
00:50:53A child's promise, but Alexander never forgot.
00:50:59He waited for years by the time he was ready to propose, Roland was already in the picture.
00:51:05He couldn't let her go, so he used that contract to keep her close for a year.
00:51:11He was waiting for her to remember him, waiting for a second chance.
00:51:17But after a year, her heart was still with Roland.
00:51:21So he backed off, choosing to let her be happy.
00:51:25Anna looked at him, the man who was always there to catch her.
00:51:28Her eyes stung with tears.
00:51:31This time let's try.
00:51:34I want to give us a chance.
00:51:36His eyes lit up.
00:51:37A lifetime of longing finally came to fruition.
00:51:40He looked at her quietly for a long time.
00:51:42Then he cupped her face and pressed a soft, reverent kiss to her lips.
00:51:47The night was young.
00:51:48The newly united couple didn't sleep awake.
00:51:51On the other side of town, Roland's villa was a scene from a nightmare.
00:51:54The moonlight fell across the floor.
00:51:57Sophia was curled on the ground, shaking.
00:51:59Her face was pale.
00:52:00The baby, her golden ticket to a life of luxury, was gone destroyed by the guard's brutality.
00:52:06Her dress was soaked in blood, staining the carpet a dark, permanent crimson.
00:52:10Her lips were cracked, her eyes vacant, a low whimper escaping her throat.
00:52:15Footsteps approached.
00:52:16She looked up weakly to find Roland looming over her.
00:52:19Roland?
00:52:20Her voice was a dying whisper.
00:52:23Please take me to the hospital.
00:52:27Am I dying?
00:52:28I am really scared.
00:52:31Roland let out a cold laugh.
00:52:34Scared?
00:52:35When you send people to assault Anna, did you think about how scared she was?
00:52:40This is just the warm-up.
00:52:42Every bit of pain you gave her, you're getting back double.
00:52:46Sophia stared at him, then she started to laugh.
00:52:50A dry, broken laugh rasped from her throat.
00:52:53Roland!
00:52:54You think you're being devoted now?
00:52:57She struggled to her feet, a crazed glint in her eyes.
00:53:02You were the one who slept with me and married me.
00:53:05You brought me to her face.
00:53:07You made her serve me tea while she watched us fuck.
00:53:10And you're the one who beat her half to death because I said so.
00:53:14She looked at him with a mocking sneer.
00:53:16Roland, compare to you.
00:53:19I'm an amateur.
00:53:20You think punishing me buys you her forgiveness?
00:53:30Her face twisted into a triumphant grin.
00:53:35I'm telling you, forget it.
00:53:37Anna will never forgive you.
00:53:39Never!
00:53:40She hit a nerve and Roland snapped.
00:53:42Shut up!
00:53:43She just laughed even harder.
00:53:45Scared?
00:53:45Roland, don't even dream of dumping me for her.
00:53:48We're going to rot together.
00:53:51In the eyes of the law, I am your wife.
00:53:54You will never get rid of me.
00:53:56But the words hit him.
00:53:57He stumbled, his eyes trembling.
00:53:59Before Sophia could even gloat, he suddenly laughed.
00:54:02You are right.
00:54:03Legally, we are husband and wife.
00:54:05He leaned in close to her face.
00:54:07So if I lock you in a psych ward for life, no one can say a word, right?
00:54:10Sophia's blood ran cold.
00:54:12No, you can't!
00:54:14Roland stood up as men in white coats marched in.
00:54:16Take her away.
00:54:17Roland, you can't!
00:54:19I am your wife!
00:54:21You can't do this to me!
00:54:22Someone gagged her mid-scream.
00:54:24She was dragged through the hall toward the massive iron gates.
00:54:27The night outside was an abyss, swallowing her whole.
00:54:30Even with Sophia gone, Roland felt no relief.
00:54:33The silence only made the loss of Anna more deafening.
00:54:36The wedding photos, the dining table, her empty rocking chair.
00:54:39Every corner of the house screamed her name.
00:54:41Because Anna had already married someone else.
00:54:44Roland snapped.
00:54:44He dealt with the reckless guards and ordered the asylum staff to properly welcome Sophia.
00:54:49He purged the house of everything Sophia owned, restoring it to how it was before she arrived.
00:54:54He thought, if he got Anna back, she wouldn't want to see any of it.
00:54:58Then, his desperate campaign to win her back began.
00:55:01He brought roses and handwritten apologies every single day.
00:55:04She wouldn't even glance at them.
00:55:05He showered her with luxury jewelry and designer bags, but every single gift was sent back.
00:55:11She did not even open the wrapping.
00:55:12Panic set in.
00:55:13He made a vow if she just came back.
00:55:15He'd stop caring about her past marriage or whatever she did with Alexander.
00:55:19As long as she came back, he could accept anything.
00:55:22But Anna gave him zero chance.
00:55:24In his desperation, he found an old wooden box in storage.
00:55:27Inside were stacks of yellowed letters and a faded photo album.
00:55:31Hundreds of love letters from their school days.
00:55:33He'd kept every single one, through every move.
00:55:36The photos captured their youth, the campus, their first date, and their graduation.
00:55:40Roland stared at his younger self and the Anna who always stood by his side.
00:55:44His heart felt crushed.
00:55:45The raw pain brought him to tears.
00:55:47He realized too late that he'd already had the greatest love in the world.
00:55:51The next morning, he took the album and letters to Anna's villa.
00:55:54As soon as she came out, Roland hurried over.
00:55:57Anna, wait.
00:55:58Just give me a minute.
00:55:59Please.
00:56:02His voice was almost pleading, but Anna said nothing.
00:56:05She only stopped when she saw what he was holding.
00:56:07Roland desperately thrust the letters toward her.
00:56:10Anna, look.
00:56:11These are our old letters.
00:56:12I didn't lose a single one.
00:56:14And the photos.
00:56:15You said we'd look at them together when we were old.
00:56:17Anna looked at the faded memories, and for a split second, her icy expression cracked.
00:56:21Roland caught it.
00:56:22Hope surged.
00:56:23He stepped closer, trying to use the past to break her.
00:56:26Anna, we promised to be together forever.
00:56:28You said you'd only ever love me.
00:56:30Do you remember?
00:56:31Anna looked him in the eye, silent for a long time.
00:56:34Just as Roland thought she was softening, she spoke.
00:56:37Of course I remember.
00:56:38Roland's eyes lit up at once.
00:56:40I knew it.
00:56:41All those years, you couldn't just move on, so...
00:56:44Anna cut him off, her voice cold as ice.
00:56:47I remember because that was my youth.
00:56:49But memories don't excuse the hell you put me through later.
00:56:52Because in my heart, the man you were back then died a long time ago.
00:56:57Roland froze, paralyzed by her words.
00:56:59He tried to speak, but nothing came out, just silence.
00:57:03Anna delivered the final blow.
00:57:04Don't come disturb my life again.
00:57:06Anna turned around and went back inside.
00:57:09The front gate slowly closed behind her.
00:57:11Roland stood there, lips trembling, staring at the closed door.
00:57:15The sun set, and the streetlights cast a long, lonely shadow.
00:57:18He didn't move for hours, but the door never opened again.
00:57:21Inside, Alexander was already waiting for her.
00:57:24He closed his laptop and gave her a warm smile.
00:57:27You are back.
00:57:28I'll have the chef serve dinner.
00:57:30Let's eat.
00:57:30She didn't answer, looking at the warm home and the man waiting for her.
00:57:34Her heart melted.
00:57:35She hugged him.
00:57:36His steady heartbeat was the only rhythm she needed to feel safe.
00:57:39Alexander smiled and rubbed her back, pulling her closer.
00:57:42Anna finally understood what it meant to be truly cherished.
00:57:45It wasn't about possession or dynamic compensation.
00:57:48After a hurt, it was this, quiet, gentle, and wordless.
00:57:52She closed her eyes against his chest.
00:57:54Alexander kissed the top of her head.
00:57:56Roland vanished for a while.
00:57:58Anna thought she finally had peace.
00:58:00But on her birthday, an uninvited guest arrived.
00:58:02Her father stood there with that same pathetic, fawning smile.
00:58:06Well, I heard you got married, so dad wanted to come see you.
00:58:09You really should have consulted me on such a big move.
00:58:12Anna stared at his fake face in silence.
00:58:15Unnerved by her gaze, he cleared his throat,
00:58:17and finally spit out his real reason.
00:58:19Look, Roland promised an investment, but now he's backed out.
00:58:23My company is drowning.
00:58:25Can you talk to Alexander?
00:58:27He's loaded.
00:58:28Helping me out would be pocket change to him.
00:58:30Anna laughed.
00:58:31It was a cold, sharp sound typical.
00:58:35The last time I came, it was to sell her to Roland.
00:58:38This time, he came to make her ask Alexander for money.
00:58:42He never asked if she was okay.
00:58:44Not once did he ask about the divorce or her pain.
00:58:47He only cared about his money, business, and precious son.
00:58:51Dad.
00:58:52She spoke.
00:58:53His eyes lit up.
00:58:54He thought he'd won.
00:58:56But her next words crushed that hope into the dirt.
00:58:59This is the last time I'll call you dad.
00:59:02From today on, we're done.
00:59:04We're cutting ties.
00:59:05You don't need to come looking for me again.
00:59:07I'm not helping you, and Alexander sure as hell won't.
00:59:10If you bother him, I'll make sure your son never sees another scent.
00:59:14Alexander could crush your little company like a bug.
00:59:17She turned around and walked right into Alexander.
00:59:20He'd heard everything.
00:59:22He was wearing a proud smile.
00:59:24She looked at him and smiled back.
00:59:26Turns out, cutting off toxic family wasn't that hard after all.
00:59:30After the cake, she was a little tipsy.
00:59:33As Alexander wiped cream from her cheek, she wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered.
00:59:39Thank you.
00:59:40Alexander smiled.
00:59:42Don't thank me yet.
00:59:43I have one more gift for you.
00:59:45She blinked.
00:59:46What gift?
00:59:48Alexander pulled an envelope from his pocket.
00:59:50She opened it.
00:59:51Her eyes widened.
00:59:53It was the advanced study program Roland had banned her from attending.
00:59:57Her eyes welled up.
00:59:58Alexander looked at her with pure tenderness.
01:00:01If you marry me, you won't have to give up anything.
01:00:04Not even your career.
01:00:05It is only three years.
01:00:06The distance is nothing.
01:00:10If I'm not buried in work, I'll be there with you.
01:00:13Her voice caught in her throat.
01:00:16Alexander pulled her into a tight embrace.
01:00:19The day she left was bright and sunny, but neither of them was in a bright mood.
01:00:24Roland had just heard.
01:00:25He was driving like a maniac to the airport, desperate for one last look at Anna.
01:00:29Just one glance.
01:00:31That was all he wanted.
01:00:32But he was reckless too fast.
01:00:34When the other car slammed into him, he didn't even have time to sleep.
01:00:38After a thunderous crash, he lay in a pool of blood.
01:00:42His ears buzzed.
01:00:44His bones felt like they were piercing his skin.
01:00:47His mind began to fade.
01:00:49His entire life flashed before his eyes like a broken film.
01:00:53He remembered the first time he saw Anna, sunlight on her shoulders.
01:00:57That smile he couldn't look away from.
01:00:59Then, the mistakes, the pain he caused her.
01:01:03He remembered the words she had said.
01:01:05In my heart, the man you were back then died a long time ago.
01:01:08The corner of his mouth suddenly lifted.
01:01:10Maybe she was right.
01:01:11Maybe he should have died in three years ago.
01:01:13Instead of living on and bringing her so much pain.
01:01:16With that thought, Roland coughed up blood and stopped breathing forever.
01:01:20The ambulance came quickly, and the siren started blaring.
01:01:24High above the chaos, Alexander unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to Anna.
01:01:29So excited for your new program.
01:01:32She pulled her gaze away from the clouds.
01:01:34Definitely.
01:01:36But I am even more excited for us.
01:01:38They shared a look and a smile as the plane soared through the clouds.
01:01:42Sunlight poured in and landed on their clasped hands.
01:01:45Outside the window was a vast blue sky.
01:01:48The Pasadena
01:01:50The Pasadena
