Short filmTranscript
00:00:01my name was Sophia my father was a genius architect until my uncle Simon
00:00:07killed him and took over all the family assets my mother collapsed from grief I
00:00:13used my own body for drug trials to raise medical fees the hormones turned
00:00:19me from a slender beauty into a 150 pound fat woman everyone mocked me but I
00:00:27only wanted revenge so I willingly married the least favored disabled
00:00:33illegitimate son of the Blackwood family Alex Blackwood I also heard he was blind
00:00:39on our wedding night the villa was pitch black even the lights weren't on my legs
00:00:47are disabled I can't give you sex it's fine I don't need a cheap bought wife
00:00:51get out if you make me leave the Blackwood family will still force another
00:00:57woman on you since you've made up your mind go lie down on the bed I closed my
00:01:02eyes and fumbled my way to lying down in the darkness the sound of his wheelchair
00:01:08grew closer moonlight seeped in and I saw that face wait the illegitimate son who
00:01:16was rumored to be ugly how could he look like this I stared at his face so perfect
00:01:23it was almost unreal my mind was full of questions it's late do as you please don't touch me and
00:01:31don't
00:01:31disturb me in the latter half of the night cold wind crept in I curled up on the edge of
00:01:38the bed
00:01:38shivering a disabled person must be more afraid of the cold than me right I quietly got up and gently
00:01:44placed the blanket over Alex Alex suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed my wrist I was just afraid you
00:01:51were cold you're trembling how could a blind man know I was trembling unless he could see I waved my
00:01:59hand in front of him Alex didn't react I made a fist and pretended to punch him still no reaction
00:02:08the next day Alex took out a document no intimate behavior agreement
00:02:16before any marital relations both parties must consent no ambiguous actions during the process
00:02:24if either party breaches the agreement it terminates automatically and the breaching party leaves with
00:02:30nothing okay I looked down and noticed that there wasn't a single scratch on the wheels of his
00:02:39wheelchair how could someone in a wheelchair for a decade keep the wheels so new unless he didn't
00:02:45need a wheelchair at all how are these like new the old ones broke was I overthinking Alex casually handed
00:02:56me a check five million I had just reached my front door with the check when I heard Yvonne's mockery
00:03:19Yvonne is my cousin vain jealous by nature she stole my ex-boyfriend
00:03:26and the design drafts I had poured my heart into I pushed the door open and slapped the check down
00:03:35married to a cripple and still acting proud you and your mother are born trash I slapped her across the
00:03:43face
00:03:48watch your mouth
00:03:53you dare hit me Yvonne was about to strike back when James appeared pushing Alex in his wheelchair
00:04:02why did he come to help me or to watch me make a fool of myself she is now a
00:04:07blackwood you wouldn't dare touch her
00:04:09Yvonne's face turned dark Alex took back the check and gave me a casual glance the bride price for Sophia
00:04:16you want it go ask the blackwood family yourself I didn't expect him to be so protective
00:04:24you're here to bully Yvonne again
00:04:28Leo my former fiance after he lost his memory he latched on to Yvonne
00:04:37Leo give my sister a ride will you I didn't get in the car but Yvonne still followed me like
00:04:42a lingering ghost
00:04:43you should buy a bigger car otherwise Sophia's weight won't even fit in
00:04:48I gave a cold laugh
00:04:50no matter how big a garbage truck is
00:04:53it still can't hold two pieces of trash like you
00:04:57Leo looked at me with a complicated expression
00:05:01I gave another cold laugh
00:05:05I turned around and saw Alex's car
00:05:08hadn't he left
00:05:10Alex's car stopped in front of me
00:05:12Alex rolled down the car window
00:05:15get in the car
00:05:16was he afraid I would be bullied
00:05:18Yvonne ran over and linked her arm through mine
00:05:21Sophia you must come to my birthday banquet
00:05:24the entire high society circle will be there
00:05:29her fingernails dug into my arm
00:05:31I smiled and pulled my hand away
00:05:33a trap perfect I was just looking for a chance to settle scores
00:05:40I'll be there
00:05:41I got into Alex's car
00:05:45thank you that's the first time I've seen them defeated
00:05:48his back was to me but I saw the tips of his ears turn red
00:05:52I pressed my lips together and smiled
00:05:56the next day Alex handed me a sapphire necklace
00:06:01I took it the sapphire looked like a deep sea under the light
00:06:05wow how much does it cost to rent for a day
00:06:08it's quite pretty
00:06:09I saw Alex's mouth twitch
00:06:11strange if it wasn't rented did he buy it
00:06:16the crystal chandelier in the banquet hall was dazzling
00:06:24the moment I stepped inside
00:06:26Yvonne came clinging to me
00:06:32oh dear
00:06:34I thought you weren't coming
00:06:36I gave a light laugh
00:06:42every time you say that is it
00:06:44to make everyone think I'm bullying you
00:06:45all eyes in the room instantly focused on us
00:06:49Yvonne's eyes turned red in a second
00:06:51her lips trembling
00:07:01haven't seen her in half a month
00:07:03watch your tone
00:07:05you remember the day so clearly
00:07:08missing me
00:07:10Yvonne's face turned pale as death
00:07:12Leo froze his ears burning red
00:07:16look at you fat and ugly
00:07:19wearing that gown is like a pig wrapped in a bed sheet
00:07:24how's the stolen man working out for you
00:07:28you'll see what happens tonight
00:07:30she turned and walked away
00:07:36I was about to breathe a sigh of relief
00:07:39when a pungent smell suddenly hit my nose
00:07:42she wasn't just threatening me
00:07:43she had already started making her move
00:07:46Yvonne raised a glass of champagne
00:07:48and publicly announced that Project X
00:07:50my father's life's work
00:07:52was now hers
00:07:55thanks to Leo's support
00:07:56this project is finally mine
00:08:03Yvonne what is the core technology of Project X
00:08:12Monty had collaborated with my father before
00:08:15and his company was also one of the top construction companies nationwide
00:08:20I had to seize this opportunity
00:08:23I stepped forward
00:08:26the core is to create world-class medical equipment
00:08:29to reduce treatment costs for severe cancer patients
00:08:35Jonathan Pierce?
00:08:37you're the daughter of the genius architect Jonathan Pierce?
00:08:40this is my father's project
00:08:42I can continue it
00:08:44she's just a fatso who knows nothing
00:08:48Monty noticed the sapphire necklace around my neck
00:08:52this necklace
00:08:53a limited edition
00:08:55only three in the world
00:08:58my husband gave it to me
00:09:01what good thing could that cripple give you?
00:09:03it must be fake
00:09:05I gave a light half
00:09:07fake is still better than stolen
00:09:09come to the company next Wednesday for a talk
00:09:12I nodded
00:09:13but doubts arose
00:09:14how could Alex
00:09:15a sheltered useless man
00:09:17get something like this?
00:09:18as soon as I left the banquet hall
00:09:20Leo rushed up
00:09:21and grabbed me
00:09:28you're deliberately causing trouble
00:09:30I gave a cold laugh
00:09:33she couldn't answer a single question about the project
00:09:36and I'm the one causing trouble?
00:09:39someone who didn't even know her own limits
00:09:42did she deserve it?
00:09:44Yvonne smiled falsely
00:09:45and handed me a piece of cake
00:09:47I knew she was about to make her move
00:09:50Sophia
00:09:51let's not talk about these unpleasant things
00:09:57I took the cake
00:09:59pretended to be tripped
00:10:00and the cake flew out of my hand
00:10:04Yvonne!
00:10:06Yvonne got it all over her face and screamed
00:10:09my face!
00:10:11it hurts!
00:10:12sorry my hand slipped
00:10:24you wanted to hurt Yvonne!
00:10:26I acted wronged
00:10:28I didn't know there was something in the cake
00:10:30was Yvonne trying to frame me?
00:10:33I didn't know you were trying to frame me
00:10:36Yvonne was taken to the hospital
00:10:38I stood outside the crowd
00:10:40smiling at everything before me
00:10:42but this was only the beginning of my counter attack
00:10:46I had just walked out
00:10:48when Leo grabbed me tightly
00:10:49refusing to let me go
00:10:51a vicious woman like you
00:10:53there's nothing you wouldn't do
00:10:55I slapped him backhanded
00:11:00a scumbag like you
00:11:02doesn't deserve to touch me
00:11:05need help?
00:11:07who are you?
00:11:08I said smugly
00:11:11my husband
00:11:12with a face like his
00:11:13bringing him out really was a flop
00:11:16touch her again
00:11:17and I'll send you to the hospital too
00:11:22as soon as Alex finished speaking
00:11:25five burly bodyguards rushed forward
00:11:28Leo left in disgrace
00:11:32let's go home
00:11:34I shook my head
00:11:37I want to take a walk alone to clear my head
00:11:41call me if anything happens
00:11:49not long after Alex left
00:11:50a hand covered my mouth and nose from behind
00:11:53help!
00:11:54the pungent smell of chemicals invaded my throat
00:11:57everything went black
00:11:59who wanted to kill me?
00:12:02when I woke up
00:12:03I was submerged underwater
00:12:05I struggled to swim upward
00:12:07but my limbs felt like they were filled with lead
00:12:10no
00:12:12I can't die
00:12:13I haven't taken revenge yet
00:12:18just as I was sinking
00:12:19a dark figure doved into the water from the shore
00:12:28he dragged me ashore
00:12:29and slapped my face hard
00:12:37that face?
00:12:38it was Alex?
00:12:40but wasn't he disabled?
00:12:41how could he stand up?
00:12:46I wanted to scream
00:12:47but my throat was full of water
00:12:50then he grabbed my chin
00:12:52and pressed his lips down on mine
00:12:53he was giving me air
00:12:55but the tip of his tongue
00:12:57was tracing the line of my lips
00:12:59was this CPR?
00:13:02or
00:13:03a kiss?
00:13:07if you don't wake up soon
00:13:09I'll kiss you until you do
00:13:10I didn't dare open my eyes
00:13:12because once I did
00:13:14I would have to face a fact
00:13:16my disabled husband
00:13:18not only could he stand and walk
00:13:21but he had also kissed me
00:13:23who was he really?
00:13:26I suddenly opened my eyes
00:13:29Alex was still sitting in a wheelchair
00:13:36it was the boss who jumped in
00:13:38to save you
00:13:43subconsciously
00:13:43I touched my own lips
00:13:47was the CPR you?
00:13:49not me
00:13:53him
00:13:55my face burned up instantly
00:13:57do you remember who did it?
00:14:00I clenched my fists
00:14:02I didn't need to think
00:14:03I knew who it was
00:14:05Alex tossed out a USB drive
00:14:09the surveillance footage is here
00:14:11take it
00:14:12warmth filled my heart
00:14:13he had already investigated it for me
00:14:15I looked down
00:14:17and saw my soaked shirt
00:14:18clinging to my body
00:14:19rolls of fat nowhere to hide
00:14:21I immediately stood up
00:14:22and ran off
00:14:24I'm going to change clothes
00:14:30after what happened yesterday
00:14:32I didn't believe Alex was truly blind
00:14:35everything seemed full of doubts
00:14:37the next day
00:14:39I put bugs on a fried egg
00:14:41and brought it to him
00:14:46I made you soft boiled eggs today
00:14:48try them
00:14:50Alex took a bite
00:14:52and his face turned dark
00:14:57honey
00:14:58you've worked hard
00:14:59here
00:15:01you have a bite too
00:15:02I forced myself to take a bite
00:15:04and my stomach churned
00:15:10I leaned toward him
00:15:12and vomited right in front of him
00:15:16you did that on purpose
00:15:17he was so angry that his wheelchair was shaking
00:15:22but I just wanted to see him crack
00:15:25only then could I know if he had been faking blindness all along
00:15:33Alex took out a stack of documents
00:15:36I found out clearly
00:15:37the person who kidnapped you last time was Yvonne
00:15:41she's going to make another move
00:15:44I gave a cold laugh
00:15:47then let's turn the tables
00:15:50let her taste
00:15:51her own medicine
00:15:53I pretended to be kidnapped
00:15:55and had the kidnapper lure Yvonne over
00:16:05fatso
00:16:06you've finally fallen into my hands
00:16:09the kidnapper emerged from the shadows
00:16:11and kicked Yvonne into a stinking pool
00:16:19you how dare you
00:16:26Yvonne
00:16:26how does this pool water taste
00:16:30how is it you
00:16:31just then
00:16:32Leo arrived and grabbed my neck
00:16:36how dare you touch her
00:16:39I threw him over my shoulder in one move
00:16:41and Leo fell into the water too
00:16:43if you love her so much
00:16:45go keep her company
00:16:46Leo, Yvonne
00:16:48just wait
00:16:50however much you hurt me
00:16:52I will pay you back
00:16:53double
00:16:57on Wednesday
00:16:58I arrived at Monty's company as promised
00:17:04he looked through my portfolio
00:17:06smiled and nodded
00:17:14I silently vowed to myself
00:17:16the first step to taking back my father's company
00:17:19started with completing the project he left unfinished
00:17:25but I didn't expect Yvonne to be such a pestering ghost
00:17:33oh even a fatso can get into Monty's company
00:17:36you didn't use connections did you
00:17:42at least I don't need to steal other people's designs to look good
00:17:48you
00:17:50Yvonne
00:17:52Yvonne
00:17:56Yvonne please leave
00:17:57this is an interview room
00:18:02Yvonne slammed the door and left
00:18:04but I didn't expect this was only the beginning
00:18:08Yvonne immediately made another move
00:18:11the secretary
00:18:12her face ashen
00:18:13pushed open the conference room door
00:18:15bad news
00:18:17the confidential design of the company's new project
00:18:20has been leaked to a competitor
00:18:24Yvonne had been eavesdropping at the door for a long time
00:18:34Mr. Monty
00:18:35I found out
00:18:36it's Sophia
00:18:39Yvonne slammed a stack of evidence onto the table
00:18:43the noise startled the entire office
00:18:48on the day of your interview
00:18:50your account received an extra 500,000
00:18:55on surveillance
00:18:56you're sneaking around in the middle of the night
00:18:59if that's not stealing designs
00:19:01what is
00:19:02the figure in that surveillance footage was so blurry
00:19:05I couldn't even tell if it was male or female
00:19:07and she dared to use it as solid proof
00:19:11this is a setup
00:19:12I never went there
00:19:15until this is cleared up
00:19:16don't start work at the company
00:19:18your father's project
00:19:20put it on hold for now
00:19:25my father's final legacy
00:19:27stopped like that
00:19:33Fatso
00:19:33you want to compete with me?
00:19:35you're still too green
00:19:39just give me one day
00:19:41I will prove my innocence
00:19:46I couldn't wait until tomorrow
00:19:47I needed to vent my anger right now
00:19:50I crouched at the bathroom entrance
00:19:53listening for Yvonne to come
00:19:59what do you want?
00:20:01the moment she opened the door
00:20:03I splashed hot water onto Yvonne's face
00:20:11this one is for my father
00:20:15Yvonne lunged at me with claws out
00:20:18suddenly the lights went out
00:20:20in the darkness
00:20:21came the sounds of thuds
00:20:23screams
00:20:24and pleas for mercy
00:20:26who was helping me?
00:20:33I ran out of the bathroom
00:20:36Alex's car was parked under the streetlight
00:20:38Alex saw my red burning palms
00:20:41and frowned
00:20:49give me your hand
00:20:50give me your hand
00:20:57he lowered his head
00:20:59and gently rubbed my hand
00:21:00his fingertips cooled
00:21:05my heart pounded like a drum
00:21:08why did you help me just now?
00:21:11isn't that what a husband and wife should do?
00:21:13but our relationship is just a transaction
00:21:16even a transaction can come with after sales service
00:21:22I was stunned
00:21:23after sales service
00:21:25what was he even talking about?
00:21:28are you in trouble at the company?
00:21:33Yvonne
00:21:35I was framed by Yvonne
00:21:39I can save you some time
00:21:46Alex?
00:21:47Alex took a USB flash drive out of his pocket
00:21:50the real surveillance footage
00:21:52and Yvonne's transfer record
00:21:56how did he get these?
00:21:58a sheltered, disabled, illegitimate son
00:22:01where does he get such capability?
00:22:04in the conference room
00:22:05I threw down the evidence
00:22:09Yvonne is the real mole
00:22:12everyone
00:22:13take a look at this
00:22:15Monty
00:22:18Monty watched the video
00:22:19his face turning ashen
00:22:23Yvonne!
00:22:26you staged this yourself
00:22:30no
00:22:31it wasn't me
00:22:33I gave a cold laugh
00:22:37no
00:22:37no
00:22:40you stole company secrets to frame me
00:22:43and then pinned the blame on me
00:22:53Yvonne
00:22:54you're demoted
00:22:55Sophia
00:22:56you start officially tomorrow
00:22:59Monty
00:23:01I decline the position
00:23:03I have other options
00:23:05what?
00:23:07I want to walk my own path
00:23:14I had just walked out of the company
00:23:16when I saw Alex
00:23:18waiting for me in his wheelchair
00:23:23welcome to Z
00:23:26was he spying on me?
00:23:31how could you possibly know?
00:23:37aren't you just a spoiled rich kid?
00:23:40who said I only live off others?
00:23:44I'm the assistant to the president of Z Group
00:23:47responsible for liaising
00:23:49the spokesperson for Zero
00:23:52Z Group
00:23:53the country's top architecture firm
00:23:56the president was called Zero
00:23:58rumored to be unfathomable
00:24:01no one had ever seen him
00:24:06I guarantee that Z Group won't have incidents like at Monty's company
00:24:11justice will prevail
00:24:12your first project here is the A-City Landmark Project
00:24:18that's the most high-profile project in the city
00:24:21and also the one my father left unfinished before he died
00:24:31that's right
00:24:32it's Zero's decision
00:24:34was it Zero's decision
00:24:35or Alex's?
00:24:38Alex had truly surprised me
00:24:41there were still many mysteries about him
00:24:43and who exactly was Zero?
00:24:48why was he helping me?
00:24:54I had just joined Z Group
00:24:56when I was sent to compete
00:24:58at the press conference
00:25:00the flashbulbs were blinding
00:25:03we're sending Yvonne
00:25:04what about Z Group?
00:25:09we're sending Sophia
00:25:11Yvonne leaned close to Monty's ear
00:25:13her voice very low
00:25:18she didn't know
00:25:19I was the one who had already won
00:25:23my true identity was one
00:25:25who had become famous young in the industry
00:25:28the USB drive I'm holding in my fingers
00:25:30a last work left by my father
00:25:35this time
00:25:36I would make everyone remember his name
00:25:40Yvonne wobbled over in 10 centimeter heels
00:25:44Sophia
00:25:45don't cry if you lose
00:25:47she was oddly smug
00:25:50I gripped the USB drive
00:25:51no it didn't feel right
00:25:53this wasn't mine
00:25:54when was it swapped?
00:26:00I opened my laptop
00:26:01my face turned pale
00:26:05where are my designs?
00:26:07I searched every folder
00:26:08empty
00:26:09the whole crowd erupted
00:26:15don't embarrass Z Group
00:26:16just give up now
00:26:19a week's work
00:26:20all gone
00:26:22there were no signs of hacking on the computer
00:26:25only one possibility
00:26:27an inside job
00:26:28then Z Group forfeits
00:26:31I declare the champion of this competition
00:26:34Yvonne!
00:26:36on the big screen
00:26:37Yvonne's design slowly unfolded
00:26:40I clenched my fists
00:26:42that was my father's design
00:26:45every line
00:26:47I knew it intimately
00:26:49Yvonne went on stage
00:26:51to accept the award
00:26:52and gave me a smug glance
00:26:56this design is my tribute
00:26:57to the industry master
00:26:59Jonathan
00:26:59she dared to mention
00:27:01my father's name
00:27:04I grinned my teeth
00:27:05and clenched my fists
00:27:07this was a blatant provocation
00:27:11backstage
00:27:12I stopped Yvonne
00:27:17Yvonne
00:27:20that's my father's design
00:27:21you stole it
00:27:28just because you say
00:27:29it's your father's
00:27:30doesn't make it true
00:27:31do you have proof?
00:27:34Monty walked over
00:27:35Monty
00:27:40Sophia
00:27:41Yvonne said you asked her
00:27:42for advice on design before
00:27:44did you perhaps
00:27:45borrowed from her work?
00:27:47I asked her for advice?
00:27:49she doesn't even understand
00:27:50the basics of architecture
00:27:55Monty
00:27:55she's my cousin
00:27:57I don't blame her
00:27:59she's been jealous of me
00:28:00since we were kids
00:28:01people around whispered
00:28:03their gazes
00:28:04stabbing at me
00:28:05like needles
00:28:05she turned the tables
00:28:07everyone thought
00:28:08she was the victim
00:28:10I clenched my fists
00:28:13but who would believe me?
00:28:15the door was pushed open
00:28:19Alex came in
00:28:21sitting in his wheelchair
00:28:22and said quietly
00:28:24by my ear
00:28:27bullied again?
00:28:34what business is it of yours?
00:28:36Alex took out an envelope
00:28:40I sent someone to check this out
00:28:42take a look
00:28:44I opened it
00:28:45inside was the complete chain of evidence
00:28:48of Yvonne stealing the design drafts
00:28:50original comparisons
00:28:51time stamps
00:28:52email records
00:28:53even the transfer records
00:28:55even the transfer records
00:28:56of bribing the judges
00:29:02this
00:29:03how did you get this?
00:29:05these internal
00:29:06high-level records
00:29:07ordinary people
00:29:09couldn't get their hands on them
00:29:14Alex
00:29:16I suddenly looked up at Alex
00:29:20there was only one possibility
00:29:23he was zero?
00:29:26I walked onto the stage
00:29:28and held up the evidence
00:29:32everyone
00:29:33the true owner of the design shroffs
00:29:36is me
00:29:38you're lying
00:29:43Jonathan Pierce
00:29:44this is my father
00:29:46Jonathan Pierce's
00:29:47original manuscript
00:29:48the signature and time stamps
00:29:50are all there
00:29:51I played the recording
00:29:52from my phone
00:29:53Yvonne's conversation
00:29:54bribing the judges
00:29:55was crystal clear
00:29:56the whole room erupted
00:30:01Monty
00:30:02Monty took the evidence
00:30:04his face
00:30:05assing
00:30:07Yvonne
00:30:08Yvonne
00:30:09do you have anything to say?
00:30:10Yvonne collapsed
00:30:12to the floor
00:30:12you're fired
00:30:15the company will thoroughly
00:30:16investigate
00:30:17all your previous
00:30:18plagiarism
00:30:21Leo rushed onto the stage
00:30:23and grabbed me
00:30:23why do you have to be
00:30:25so ruthless?
00:30:26she's your cousin
00:30:27I shook off his hand
00:30:29when she stole my father's
00:30:30posthumous work
00:30:31did she think of me
00:30:32as her cousin?
00:30:33I turned and left
00:30:35without looking back
00:30:36behind me came
00:30:37Yvonne's cries
00:30:38I didn't look back
00:30:45Alex was waiting for me
00:30:46at the exit
00:30:47I needed to find out
00:30:48one thing
00:30:49was he really zero?
00:30:51I clutched the chain
00:30:52of evidence
00:30:53and stared
00:30:54intensely at Alex
00:30:56zero
00:30:57you are zero
00:30:58don't try to lie
00:31:00to me again
00:31:01zero
00:31:03you think a person
00:31:04in a wheelchair
00:31:04can control the entire
00:31:06Z group?
00:31:07then how did you get
00:31:08these internal records?
00:31:09I bought them
00:31:10I bought them with money
00:31:10the Blackwood family
00:31:12may not like me
00:31:12but they haven't
00:31:13sklimped on money
00:31:14he said it lightly
00:31:15but I clearly saw
00:31:16his fingers tighten
00:31:17on the armrest
00:31:18I don't believe you
00:31:20believe it or not
00:31:21it's up to you
00:31:23but do you still
00:31:24want to work
00:31:25on your father's project?
00:31:27he always used this
00:31:29to shut me up
00:31:31one day
00:31:31I will find out
00:31:32the truth
00:31:37for the next month
00:31:38I'll be on a business
00:31:38trip abroad
00:31:40protect yourself
00:31:41and don't get bullied again
00:31:48I stepped onto the scale
00:31:50and stared at the number
00:31:52150 pounds
00:31:54I looked at the mirror
00:31:55corners of my mouth
00:31:57lifting
00:31:57one month from now
00:31:59I would stand
00:32:00in front of everyone
00:32:01and they wouldn't be able
00:32:03to laugh anymore
00:32:04just wait
00:32:05I would blind them all
00:32:07with my beauty
00:32:09I threw myself
00:32:11into the gym
00:32:11like a mad woman
00:32:12sweat dripping
00:32:14onto the floor
00:32:22one month later
00:32:23the woman in the mirror
00:32:25stunned even me
00:32:27collarbones prominent
00:32:29waistline carved
00:32:31like a knife
00:32:33facial features
00:32:34as if sculpted new
00:32:37finally
00:32:38the moment came
00:32:39when Alex
00:32:40pushed the door open
00:32:41and came home
00:32:43his gaze
00:32:44locked onto my waist
00:32:45and stayed
00:32:46for three seconds
00:32:47he noticed
00:32:49but wasn't he blind?
00:32:51at the bathroom door
00:32:53I deliberately
00:32:54walked by
00:32:56his gaze
00:32:57followed me
00:32:57then quickly
00:32:58darted away
00:33:02I've lost a lot
00:33:03of weight recently
00:33:05I'm blind
00:33:06I can't see
00:33:07I took his hand
00:33:09and placed it
00:33:10on my waist
00:33:11so like this
00:33:13can you feel it?
00:33:14Alex's fingers
00:33:15stiffened
00:33:16as if burned
00:33:17the tips of his ears
00:33:18turned red
00:33:19Alex's
00:33:20Adam's apple
00:33:21rolled
00:33:21his lips
00:33:22pressed tightly
00:33:23together
00:33:23I need to take
00:33:24a shower
00:33:24you go out
00:33:29the sound of water
00:33:30ran for 40 minutes
00:33:35could he have
00:33:35passed out in there?
00:33:41I pushed the door open
00:33:42he was sitting in the
00:33:44bathtub
00:33:45water droplets
00:33:46sliding down his spine
00:33:50sorry
00:33:50I thought you
00:33:53just as I was about
00:33:54to turn around
00:33:55the slippery floor
00:33:56caused me
00:33:57to accidentally
00:33:58fall into Alex's
00:33:59bathtub
00:34:03you have the nerve
00:34:04to barge into
00:34:05a man's bathroom
00:34:06but not the nerve
00:34:06to face it
00:34:11I lowered my head
00:34:12my face
00:34:13instantly burning
00:34:16Alex grabbed my chin
00:34:18and kissed me
00:34:30aren't we contractual
00:34:31husband and wife?
00:34:32his taut string snapped
00:34:36then I'll have to ask you
00:34:37to help me
00:34:40I touched him awkwardly
00:34:46he grunt
00:34:47and squeezed me
00:34:48hurting me a little
00:34:54if you're not willing
00:34:56I won't force you
00:34:56that thing of yours
00:34:58it's a bit big
00:35:00I'm scared
00:35:02Alex was silent
00:35:03for a long time
00:35:05but his ears
00:35:06turned red again
00:35:07today was my father's
00:35:09death anniversary
00:35:10I came to visit
00:35:11his grave
00:35:14Simon blocked me
00:35:15with his men
00:35:16hand over the urn
00:35:22you want it?
00:35:24here
00:35:25a handful of flour
00:35:27flew into Simon's face
00:35:28the real ashes
00:35:30had long been swapped
00:35:31by me
00:35:31I turned and ran
00:35:42a masked man
00:35:44rushed out
00:35:44and took down
00:35:45the thugs
00:35:45in a few moves
00:35:46it was James
00:35:49another group of people
00:35:50suddenly pulled me
00:35:52into a car
00:35:58and blindfolded me
00:36:00peel an orange
00:36:04I felt the orange
00:36:06peel and heard
00:36:06a familiar
00:36:07low laugh
00:36:12Alex
00:36:14the car stopped
00:36:15I pulled off
00:36:17the blindfold
00:36:17in the cemetery
00:36:19the best tombstone
00:36:20stood in front
00:36:21of my parents grave
00:36:22did Alex buy this?
00:36:24warmth filled
00:36:25my heart
00:36:33thank you
00:36:34you're welcome
00:36:40I'll deduct it
00:36:41from your salary
00:36:42I couldn't help
00:36:43but laugh
00:36:44this awkward man
00:36:45one day
00:36:46I was suddenly
00:36:47called to the
00:36:48Blackwood estate
00:36:48by Madame Victoria
00:36:49this was my first
00:36:51time meeting
00:36:51Madame Victoria
00:36:52Alex's grandmother
00:36:53but I heard
00:36:54their relationship
00:36:55wasn't good
00:36:55I was just worried
00:36:56about not having
00:36:57a chance to appear
00:36:58a trap banquet
00:36:59I would turn it
00:37:00into my runway
00:37:01the doors of
00:37:03Blackwood estate
00:37:03opened
00:37:04I wore a dark
00:37:05green velvet gown
00:37:06the waistline
00:37:08perfectly fitted
00:37:09and the sapphire
00:37:10Alex gave me
00:37:11hung on my collarbone
00:37:14the whole room
00:37:15looked as if
00:37:16someone had choked
00:37:17them
00:37:18Madame Victoria
00:37:19narrowed her eyes
00:37:20the glass
00:37:21in Yvonne's hand
00:37:22dropped to the floor
00:37:23with a smack
00:37:24her mouth
00:37:25hanging open
00:37:28the wine glass
00:37:30in Leo's hand
00:37:31wobbled
00:37:31wine spilling
00:37:32onto his cuff
00:37:33he didn't even
00:37:34notice
00:37:35you
00:37:36how could you
00:37:38don't recognize me
00:37:40Yvonne gritted
00:37:41her teeth
00:37:42her eyes full
00:37:43of jealous venom
00:37:43Leo's Adam's apple
00:37:45bobbed
00:37:45his lips moved
00:37:47but nothing came out
00:37:48married to a useless
00:37:50cripple
00:37:50still can't turn
00:37:51things around
00:37:52I glanced at him
00:37:54the corners of my
00:37:55mouth lifting
00:37:56slightly
00:37:58useless
00:37:59fine
00:38:00then let me
00:38:01the useless wife
00:38:02play a good game
00:38:04with you
00:38:05Yvonne really
00:38:06wasn't willing
00:38:06to give up
00:38:07she teamed up
00:38:08with Simon
00:38:09to forge debts
00:38:09my father owed
00:38:10while alive
00:38:11claiming I was a
00:38:12jinx who would
00:38:13bring down
00:38:13the Blackwood family
00:38:14Madame Victoria
00:38:16sat upright
00:38:16in the main seat
00:38:17tapping her fingers
00:38:19on the mahogany table
00:38:20Sophia
00:38:21your father owes
00:38:23one hundred million
00:38:25I'll give you
00:38:26two choices
00:38:27pay the money
00:38:28or divorce Alex
00:38:30Simon sneered
00:38:31and slapped down
00:38:32a stack of bills
00:38:33the pages
00:38:34rustling in the air
00:38:37your mother was sick
00:38:39for three years
00:38:40all the medical
00:38:41expenses were borrowed
00:38:42it's in black and white
00:38:43you can't deny it
00:38:44I glanced at the bills
00:38:45picked one up
00:38:46with my fingertips
00:38:47and flicked it back
00:38:48with a light laugh
00:38:50you show me
00:38:51the evidence
00:38:53the signature on this
00:38:54is not my father's
00:38:55handwriting
00:38:55how dare you
00:38:56talk back
00:38:57Madame Victoria
00:38:58raised her hand
00:38:59to stop her
00:39:01it's only
00:39:02one hundred million
00:39:03the Blackwood family
00:39:05will pay it for you
00:39:06but you must
00:39:07divorce Alex
00:39:10I clutched
00:39:11my handkerchief
00:39:12so this was
00:39:13where they were
00:39:14leading me
00:39:15the air
00:39:16suddenly became
00:39:16quiet
00:39:18I was about
00:39:19to speak
00:39:20the sound
00:39:21of a wheelchair
00:39:22rolling across
00:39:22the floor
00:39:23came from behind
00:39:24me
00:39:24Alex pushed
00:39:25his wheelchair
00:39:26forward
00:39:26and snatched
00:39:27the bills
00:39:30her debts
00:39:31I'll pay them
00:39:33he tore the papers
00:39:34with both hands
00:39:35the shreds
00:39:36falling like snow
00:39:37on the marble floor
00:39:38Alex coldly swept
00:39:40his gaze
00:39:40across the room
00:39:41wherever his eyes
00:39:43landed
00:39:43Yvonne shrank back
00:39:46Madame Victoria
00:39:47slammed the table
00:39:48and stood up
00:39:49the cup rattling
00:39:53Alex stood in front
00:39:54of me
00:39:55his back was narrow
00:39:57but it was like a wall
00:39:59for the first time
00:40:00I saw an old scar
00:40:01on the back of his neck
00:40:04something in my heart
00:40:05cracked open a little
00:40:07head of the family
00:40:08Madame Victoria
00:40:09at the end of the corridor
00:40:11Leo suddenly blocked me
00:40:13veins bulged
00:40:14on his forehead
00:40:14as he held his head
00:40:15did we really love each other
00:40:17I have images in my head
00:40:18Leo
00:40:19my heart for you died
00:40:21and that's final
00:40:22Leo suddenly hugged me tightly
00:40:24his arms like iron clamps
00:40:27I don't believe it
00:40:28out of the corner of my eye
00:40:30at the corridor corner
00:40:31Alex's wheelchair stopped
00:40:33he saw it
00:40:36I pushed Leo away hard
00:40:38get lost
00:40:40my nails scratching
00:40:41the back of his hand
00:40:42Alex turned and left
00:40:44the sound of the wheelchair
00:40:45rolling across the floor
00:40:46was like a dull knife
00:40:47cutting into my heart
00:40:49I ran after him
00:40:50grabbed the armrest
00:40:51of the wheelchair
00:40:54and my voice trembled
00:40:56let me explain
00:40:59no need
00:41:01Alex wheeled away
00:41:02with a dark face
00:41:04the corridor was empty
00:41:06only the sound
00:41:07of my breathing remained
00:41:09yet my heart felt
00:41:10as though it had been
00:41:11torn apart
00:41:11when I got home
00:41:13Alex lay motionless
00:41:14as if asleep
00:41:18I had just taken a shower
00:41:20and lain in bed
00:41:21when Alex suddenly
00:41:22rolled over
00:41:23and prized me down
00:41:25who is it that you
00:41:26really love?
00:41:29who I love
00:41:30is none of your business
00:41:34aren't you just
00:41:34treating me as a
00:41:35transactional tool too?
00:41:38in the darkness
00:41:39Alex gripped my chin
00:41:41and suddenly lowered
00:41:42his head to kiss me
00:41:43brutally
00:41:44as if imposing
00:41:45a punishment
00:41:47a transaction?
00:41:50then your heart
00:41:51racing right now
00:41:52is that also part
00:41:53of the transaction?
00:41:55Leo came to see me
00:41:56but I didn't do anything
00:42:03I pushed him away
00:42:04my eyes red
00:42:05my chest heaving
00:42:10you don't need to
00:42:11explain anything to me
00:42:13we're just a transaction
00:42:18my heart pounded
00:42:19like thunder
00:42:20I had fallen for him
00:42:21but he was hiding
00:42:22something from me
00:42:23I immediately got up
00:42:25and went to the bathroom
00:42:26to calm down
00:42:27only to see his suit lining
00:42:28lying on the ground
00:42:29embroidered with the logo
00:42:30of Z-Group
00:42:31the silver thread
00:42:32glearing under the light
00:42:33my pupils contracted
00:42:35slightly
00:42:35and I murmured
00:42:36Zero?
00:42:44Zero?
00:42:45In the study
00:42:46I held a document
00:42:48marked Z-Group Internal
00:42:49for Zero's eyes only
00:42:51to test Alex
00:42:52James said this document
00:42:54requires your signature
00:42:55Alex ran his fingers
00:42:57over the braille
00:42:58to the third page
00:42:59and paused
00:43:00for two seconds
00:43:03This clause has a problem
00:43:05Z-Group never accepts VAM
00:43:07My heart tightened sharply
00:43:09That document was forged by me
00:43:11Z-Group had no such regulation
00:43:14only Zero himself
00:43:15could see through it
00:43:16at a glance
00:43:17How do you know
00:43:18Z-Group never accepts VAM?
00:43:20Alex's fingers froze
00:43:22The air suddenly went quiet
00:43:24James
00:43:27James told me
00:43:29James took leave today
00:43:32You didn't call him
00:43:33Alex slowly raised his head
00:43:37I saw a flash of panic
00:43:39in his eyes
00:43:41Zero
00:43:47Stop pretending
00:43:48You are Zero
00:43:49Alex was silent
00:43:50for a moment
00:43:51Then suddenly pulled a document
00:43:53from the drawer
00:43:54and pushed it in front of me
00:43:55All of Z-Group's
00:43:57historical contracts
00:43:58are here
00:43:59The page with the gambling clause
00:44:00a-folded the corner
00:44:01I opened it
00:44:02There were indeed
00:44:04crease marks
00:44:04The paper yellowed
00:44:06Not newly made
00:44:07Every word he said
00:44:08was reasonable
00:44:09But I noticed
00:44:10the knuckle of his index finger
00:44:11was pale
00:44:12He was pressing hard
00:44:13on the desk
00:44:15Zero?
00:44:15So you really aren't Zero?
00:44:18Zero?
00:44:20You think a cripple
00:44:22in a wheelchair
00:44:22can control
00:44:24the entire Z-Group?
00:44:25He padded the armrest
00:44:26of his wheelchair
00:44:27the metal
00:44:28making a dull sound
00:44:29I can barely
00:44:30even stand up
00:44:31You think too highly of me
00:44:33I stared into his eyes
00:44:34open, calm
00:44:35even with a hint
00:44:36of grievance
00:44:37Right
00:44:37A useless
00:44:38illegitimate son
00:44:39who had been kept
00:44:40by the Blackwood family
00:44:41for over a decade
00:44:42How could he be
00:44:43the all-powerful Zero?
00:44:44I'm sorry
00:44:45I was being overly suspicious
00:44:47At the designer's banquet
00:44:48the crystal chandeliers
00:44:49were dazzling
00:44:50I studied under John
00:44:52a giant in the industry
00:44:54Tonight
00:44:55I'll even get to see
00:44:56the legendary one
00:44:58A small-time designer
00:44:59like you
00:45:00will never meet her
00:45:01in your lifetime
00:45:03Is that so?
00:45:05I picked up a glass
00:45:06of champagne
00:45:07and smiled faintly
00:45:09Yvonne was still
00:45:10bragging about
00:45:11knowing one
00:45:13I took a sip of wine
00:45:15She didn't know
00:45:16that I was the person
00:45:17she admired
00:45:18and worshipped
00:45:21My phone vibrated
00:45:24I looked down
00:45:25and glanced at it
00:45:26The corners of my mouth
00:45:29lifting slightly
00:45:32The phone screen lit up
00:45:34It was a message
00:45:35from John
00:45:36Yvonne leaned over
00:45:37and took a look
00:45:38her face instantly
00:45:39turning pale
00:45:41One?
00:45:42John called you one?
00:45:43You are one?
00:45:44I put away my phone
00:45:45and didn't answer
00:45:47Impossible
00:45:47How could a piece of trash
00:45:50like you be one?
00:45:51It must be
00:45:52a coincidental username
00:45:56On the main stage
00:45:58of the banquet
00:45:58the lights
00:45:59focused on me
00:46:01Please welcome
00:46:02tonight's mystery guest
00:46:04the architectural legend
00:46:06one
00:46:08The whole room erupted
00:46:09I walked onto the stage
00:46:11in high heels
00:46:12my dark green gown
00:46:14like the deep sea
00:46:15under the lights
00:46:35I stood in front
00:46:37of the microphone
00:46:38and swept my gaze
00:46:39across every face
00:46:40below
00:46:41Shock
00:46:42Envy
00:46:43regret
00:46:45My father's name
00:46:47is Jonathan Pierce
00:46:49The name won
00:46:50It is also the project
00:46:52he left behind
00:46:54Thunderous applause
00:46:55came from the audience
00:47:00Yvonne covered her face
00:47:02and ran out
00:47:02At the very back
00:47:03of the crowd
00:47:04Alex sat in his wheelchair
00:47:05The corners of his mouth
00:47:07slightly raised
00:47:14After the banquet
00:47:15ended
00:47:16Alex was waiting
00:47:17for me in the parking lot
00:47:18One?
00:47:21You knew long ago?
00:47:23I didn't know
00:47:25But I guessed
00:47:28When?
00:47:30Your design draft
00:47:31is not the work
00:47:31of an ordinary person
00:47:32I wasn't wrong about you
00:47:34My heart skipped a beat
00:47:38He never complimented anyone
00:47:40The Blackwood family banquet
00:47:42Alex brought me back
00:47:44to the estate
00:47:48It was my first time
00:47:50appearing before them
00:47:51as his wife
00:47:55Damon
00:47:55Simon's son
00:47:57A spoiled little brat
00:48:08A blind cripple like you
00:48:10doesn't deserve
00:48:11such a beautiful wife
00:48:14Damon shoved me
00:48:15on purpose
00:48:16I stumbled
00:48:17nearly falling
00:48:18Then he picked up
00:48:19a toy ball
00:48:20and threw it at me
00:48:24The ball
00:48:25Pick it up
00:48:26and give it back
00:48:27to him
00:48:27I looked at him
00:48:28His face was blank
00:48:30But I knew
00:48:31he was teaching me
00:48:32how to fight back
00:48:33I picked up the ball
00:48:34and noticed
00:48:35it was smeared
00:48:36with dog shit
00:48:37Simon's dog
00:48:38had just done
00:48:39its business
00:48:39in the garden
00:48:41I grabbed
00:48:42a baseball bat
00:48:43aimed at Damon
00:48:44and swung
00:48:46The ball
00:48:47hit him square
00:48:47in the gut
00:48:48Crazy
00:48:48Next one
00:48:50I'm aiming
00:48:51for your mouth
00:48:55The second ball
00:48:56went right
00:48:57into his mouth
00:48:57Dog shit
00:48:58flavored
00:49:01You bitch
00:49:02Simon charged
00:49:03at me
00:49:08I wiped
00:49:09the remaining
00:49:10dog shit
00:49:11right across
00:49:11his face
00:49:13How dare you
00:49:14Do you know
00:49:16who I am
00:49:16A man who killed
00:49:18his own brother
00:49:18what right
00:49:19do you have
00:49:19to lecture me
00:49:20Simon's face
00:49:21turned purple
00:49:22Madame Victoria
00:49:23watched coldly
00:49:24saying nothing
00:49:25Did you just smile?
00:49:27No
00:49:28His lips
00:49:28definitely twitched
00:49:30This man
00:49:30so contradiction
00:49:31To fool
00:49:32Madame Victoria's
00:49:33spies
00:49:34we had to
00:49:34share a room
00:49:35overnight
00:49:36at the estate
00:49:36I shook
00:49:37the bed frame
00:49:38wildly
00:49:38and called out
00:49:39in a flirtatious
00:49:40voice
00:49:42Honey
00:49:44You're so good
00:49:54Alex suddenly
00:49:55pulled me
00:49:56into his arms
00:49:58Starting a fire
00:49:59and not putting
00:50:00it out?

00:51:07Male
00:51:08instinct

00:52:56A strange
00:52:58sweet scent
00:52:59creeped into
00:52:59my nose
00:53:00Like some
00:53:01kind of
00:53:02flower
00:53:03My body

01:11:28there are more exciting versions this is illegal illegal then sue me by the time the case is over
01:11:42your reputation will be trash I'll handle it the next day alex held a press conference
01:11:55he stood on stage behind a screen showing a forensic report the video was an AI face swap
01:12:02forgery the original was a sex tape of Yvonne and Leo Leo you've committed trade secret theft evidence
01:12:11for duration and defamation the police are already on their way to your home Leo's face twisted on the
01:12:20live feed the day the court ruling came down I stood outside my father's company the sign on
01:12:32the door still said Pierce group but I knew that was about to change Alex stood at the door not
01:12:39entering
01:12:43he knew I needed this moment alone I took out my phone and scrolled to a photo of my father
01:12:50he was
01:12:51smiling gently his eyes bright the tears finally fell dad I did it the company is back your name
01:13:01everyone remembers it I walked out of the office Alex was still waiting at the door he saw my reddened
01:13:08eyes said nothing just opened his arms I threw myself into his arms crying like a little girl he patted
01:13:17my back gently from now on this is your kingdom then what are you the king I'm the knight who
01:13:30guards the
01:13:31Lord Charlie's health gradually recovered she stayed in the guest room on the first floor of our villa
01:13:37watering the flowers in the garden every morning Alex said she used to take care of his mother the
01:13:44same way one evening I brought a bowl of soup to her room she half reclined on the bed flipping
01:13:54through an
01:13:54old photo album I sat beside her the album was full of photos of Alex as a child riding a
01:14:04wooden horse
01:14:04playing piano held in his mother's arms this was the last time the madam held him that night
01:14:15madam Victoria's men took her away what exactly did she do to Alex's mother she falsely accused her of
01:14:22having an affair with the chauffeur the madam was locked in the basement for 10 years last year she didn't
01:14:31make it my heart was wrenched Alex had carried so much yet he never told me madam thank you you
01:14:42taught
01:14:42the young master to love again I've cared for him for 20 years and I've never seen him smile as
01:14:48much
01:14:48as he does now my nose stung and I almost cried again the courtroom sunlight streamed through the high
01:14:57windows falling on the judge's black robe the gallery was full cameras clicking madam Victoria
01:15:04Blackwood on charges of murder false imprisonment and commercial fraud
01:15:14sentenced to life imprisonment without parole Damon was brought in next he was much thinner the arrogance
01:15:22gone from his face Damon on charges of attempted rape and aggravated assault sentenced to 15 years in
01:15:31prison Simon appeared last he saw me his lips moved as if to speak but in the end he just
01:15:40lowered his
01:15:41head Simon on charges of murder fraud and theft of trade secrets sentenced to life imprisonment
01:15:49Yvonne was sentenced to three years
01:15:59stepping out of the courthouse the sun made me squint Alex waited for me at the bottom of the steps
01:16:07holding a bouquet of white daisies
01:16:15it's over yes a new beginning
01:16:22the day the a city landmark project was completed the whole city was watching this was z group's biggest
01:16:29investment and my first signature project as one the building stood 288 meters tall its facade a flowing
01:16:37curve like a white ribbon soaring into the sky the top floor was an observation deck overlooking
01:16:44the entire city at the completion ceremony i stood on the stage facing a sea of people Alex sat in
01:16:52the
01:16:52front row in a dark gray suit his gaze fixed on me this project dedicated to my father he was
01:17:01a true
01:17:01architectural master without him i wouldn't be here today thunderous applause i saw james clapping
01:17:13enthusiastically beside Alex even wiping his eyes discreetly
01:17:20boss your wife is amazing she's not just my wife
01:17:24she is sophia blackwood genius architect right right your wife is a genius
01:17:35Alex drove across town and stopped in front of a villa
01:17:38i froze this was where we first met the villa was completely transformed the old walls were freshly
01:17:45painted the barren garden now full of roses light spilled from the windows warm as a painting
01:17:51remember our wedding night
01:17:52i remember you told me to get lost
01:18:01i regret that regret what regret not falling in love with you sooner
01:18:07i froze he had never said anything so direct suddenly Alex dropped to one knee and pulled out a ring
01:18:15the diamond glittered in the moonlight like a fallen star in his palm
01:18:20tears blurred my vision
01:18:27i threw myself into his arms crying like a fool
01:18:32one year later
01:18:34the beach
01:18:36white flower petals covered the sand and the salty sea breeze lifted my veil
01:18:41i wore a custom-made white gown delicate vine patterns embroidered at the waist
01:18:47Alex stood at the end of the white carpet in a white suit his bow tie perfectly tied
01:18:54james was the best man charlie the maid of honor charlie cried even harder than i did
01:18:59and james kept handing her tissues the priest asked if we were willing
01:19:03Alex looked into my eyes his voice low and steady i do
01:19:09i do as we exchanged rings i noticed his fingers trembling slightly this man who could fight ten men
01:19:16he was trembling
01:19:21we kissed applause and cheers mixed with the sound of waves and fireworks burst in the night sky
01:19:29will we always be like this yes i'll always be with you promise me no backing out
01:19:40i never break a promise the sea met the sky two figures nestled together may everyone who has been
01:19:48let down by life eventually find their own light
01:19:51you
