Transcript
00:00The night before our wedding, I caught my fiancé, Nathan Laurent, in bed with another woman.
00:05The sister of the man he owed his life to.
00:08The bedroom door was barely cracked open.
00:11Every moan, every sound, every vibration came through that crack and poured straight into my ears.
00:17I stood there, frozen, too stunned to push the door open.
00:21Nathan didn't even flinch.
00:23He just leaned back against the headboard, looking at me like I was wasting his time.
00:29Don't make a scene, Erin.
00:31She's my responsibility.
00:32That's it.
00:33You're the one I love.
00:35The next morning, I was wearing my wedding dress.
00:38My makeup was perfect.
00:40I walked out to the lawn.
00:42The estate had been transformed into our wedding venue.
00:45I stood beside the officiant, genuinely happy, waiting for Nathan to come take my hand.
00:50I waited and waited, and so did everyone else.
00:54Then someone came running toward us.
00:56Not Nathan.
00:57Nathan, his assistant.
01:00I'm sorry, Miss Bennett.
01:02Mr. Laurent said, the wedding is cancelled.
01:05Miss Cross is emotionally unstable.
01:08She's having another psychiatric episode.
01:11My bouquet hit the ground.
01:12The flowers scattered, petals breaking loose and drifting away in the wind.
01:17Nathan's car already gone.
01:21My hands were shaking when I pulled out my phone.
01:24I called him anyway.
01:27Nathan, if you go to her today, I swear I'm ending this engagement for good.
01:31There was silence on the other end.
01:32Then he hung up on me.
01:34No hesitation.
01:35Every guest.
01:36Their eyes on me.
01:37Pointing.
01:38Whispering.
01:39Their faces were full of pure contempt.
01:42Nathan's mother hurried over and grabbed my hand, forcing a strained smile onto her face.
01:47Erin, go wait in the bridal suite.
01:48These are all old family friends of the Laurents.
01:51Don't make this more embarrassing than it already is.
01:56But he, he just called off our wedding in front of everyone.
02:06No, sweetheart, don't think of it that way.
02:09Her voice dropped to a near whisper.
02:11Nathan just made a rash decision.
02:15Vivian's situation was urgent.
02:17He couldn't just ignore it.
02:19For a second, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
02:22I just gave her a broken smile.
02:25So he can show up for her.
02:27But not for me.
02:28You're his future wife, Erin.
02:31Act like it.
02:33I took off my wedding dress and left without even removing my makeup.
02:38I got in a cab and headed straight to the hospital.
02:40On the way there, Nathan's assistant, Liam, called me.
02:46I'm sorry, Ms. Bennett.
02:47Mr. Laurent is deeply sorry for how today unfolded.
02:49He'll explain everything to you in person later.
02:51I hung up without saying a word.
02:54Of course.
02:55Again.
02:55After all these years, I knew the script by heart.
02:59Vivian was Nathan's burden.
03:01His guilt.
03:02The responsibility he couldn't let go of.
03:04Her brother, Cashin, died in the crash five years ago, saving Nathan.
03:09Nathan had carried that guilt ever since.
03:12Five years of looking after her, out of grief and loyalty to an old friend.
03:16I genuinely believed that was the right thing to do.
03:19But somewhere along the way, it had crossed a line.
03:22What was between them wasn't just guilt anymore.
03:25By the time I got to his family's private hospital,
03:28I saw Nathan sitting on the floor outside the ER.
03:31He looked wrecked.
03:32The suit I had picked out for him was wrinkled and half undone.
03:35His jacket had been thrown carelessly to the side.
03:38His eyes were bloodshot.
03:40When he saw me, he jumped to his feet, his eyes red and frantic.
03:44Karen?
03:44Why are you here?
03:46I'm sorry about today.
03:47I-
03:49How is she?
03:51His voice shook when he answered.
03:53Vivian said her condition has been getting worse.
03:56I-I'm scared it's serious.
03:58I'd heard enough.
04:00I turned to leave.
04:02That's when he grabbed me.
04:03Don't do this.
04:05Cassian died because of me.
04:07Vivian has no one left in this world.
04:09I-I can't just abandon her.
04:10I yanked my arm free.
04:12So what?
04:13For ten years, I never complained.
04:15I stood beside you.
04:17I helped you take care of her.
04:20And what exactly did I get in return?
04:22No, Erin, that's not what I mean.
04:23You matter most to me.
04:25But she could be dying.
04:26I clenched my jaw so hard I couldn't get a single word out.
04:30The ER doors flew open and the doctor stepped out.
04:32Who's here for Mrs. Cross?
04:35Me.
04:35Here.
04:37Nathan moved before I could even blink.
04:39The doctor glanced at the chart in his hand.
04:41Mr. Laurent, her vitals are stable.
04:44She insisted something was wrong.
04:45So we ran the tests again, but everything came back normal.
04:48Something inside me just blew apart.
04:51All that hurt finally spilling out.
04:53I turned to Nathan and shouted.
04:55Did you hear that?
04:56The doctor just said she's fine.
04:57So how exactly was she dying?
05:00Nathan whipped around and glared at me.
05:02His eyes red and furious.
05:05You know she's been struggling ever since her brother died.
05:07Not finding anything now doesn't mean she wasn't hurting before.
05:12Vivian wouldn't say this for no reason.
05:13You had to miss something.
05:15Run the tests again.
05:16The doctor let out a tired sigh.
05:18He shook his head, made a few notes on her chart.
05:22If you're still concerned, we can admit her for observation for a few more days.
05:26Nathan visibly relaxed.
05:27Then he looked at me like I was the heartless one.
05:32Look at her.
05:33Can't you have a little compassion?
05:35Vivian was wheeled out on a hospital bed.
05:38She looked pale.
05:39Eyes closed.
05:41Every inch the tragic, delicate victim.
05:43Nathan immediately rushed to her side and took her hand.
05:46Vivian, don't be scared.
05:49I'm here.
05:50I'm right here.
05:51I looked at the way they clung to each other, then walked out of the hospital without a word.
05:56Nathan didn't come home that night.
05:58This was the house we bought for our marriage.
06:00Back then, he said he wanted us to keep the spark alive.
06:04So for the last few months before the wedding, neither of us was supposed to stay there.
06:09But the second I walked in, I smelled sweet perfume.
06:12And it wasn't mine.
06:13My hands went cold as I pushed open the master bedroom door.
06:17Vivian's clothes scattered across the room, on the bed, on the floor.
06:22Four months, he had been letting her stay in our new house.
06:25And not just letting her stay, he had been living there with her.
06:29With hands that wouldn't quite stop shaking, I pulled out my phone and called the real estate manager.
06:36Yes, I want it listed immediately.
06:38A quick sale.
06:39I paid for this house myself.
06:41That afternoon, Nathan came back.
06:43He looked exhausted.
06:45The second he saw me, surprise flashed across his face.
06:49Erin, I'm here to apologize for Vivian.
06:52She didn't mean for any of this to happen.
06:54She didn't choose to get sick.
06:56I cut him off before he could keep going.
07:00Have you even thought about what happens to our wedding?
07:03What exactly am I supposed to tell our families, our friends?
07:06Then he frowned, turned his back to me, and said it.
07:10Vivian gets better.
07:11We'll just do another ceremony later.
07:13I stared at him, actually stared, at his back.
07:16Do another ceremony?
07:18My voice came out thin and cracked.
07:21You think this is something you can just redo?
07:24So what do you want from me?
07:25I know you're hurt, but Vivian almost died.
07:27Can't you just cut her a little slack?
07:29A laugh escaped me, not because anything was funny, but because I had nothing left to say.
07:34I walked back to the bedroom without a word and started packing.
07:37He followed me in.
07:38His brows pulled together.
07:40What are you doing?
07:41Where are you going?
07:42Erin, are you seriously still doing this?
07:44I folded my clothes one by one and answered calmly.
07:47I'm not making a scene.
07:49I sold the house.
07:50His whole face darkened.
07:51He stepped forward and yanked the clothes right out of my hands.
07:54You're not selling it.
07:56This is our home.
07:57I grabbed the clothes back and threw them straight at his chest.
08:00It stopped being our home the second you let her move in.
08:04The second you left me for another woman.
08:07He stared at me like I'd lost my mind.
08:09Then the anger in his eyes caught fire.
08:11You're unbelievable!
08:13Right then, his phone rang.
08:15The second he saw the name on the screen, his whole demeanor shifted.
08:19His voice went soft.
08:20He answered on the first ring.
08:22What's wrong?
08:24Another nightmare?
08:25Hey, it's okay.
08:27I'm coming right now.
08:28He hung up and looked back at me, already impatient again.
08:32Erin, stop this.
08:33Vivian's not stable.
08:34I need to go check on her.
08:35We'll talk when I get back.
08:38If you walk out that door, don't ever come back!
08:40His steps faltered for just a beat.
08:42Then he threw a cold look over his shoulder.
08:44My patience has limits.
08:45The door slammed shut.
08:47I crumpled to the floor, sinking down among the scattered clothes.
08:52I packed up and moved into a small apartment, then threw myself into preparing for the Milan jewelry design competition.
09:00A week later, someone I definitely wasn't expecting showed up.
09:04Nathan's mother asked to meet me at a coffee shop.
09:06The second I sat down, she slid a check across the table.
09:10Ten million dollars.
09:12Leave Nathan.
09:13I know the two of you have ten years of history.
09:15But Erin, our family needs a woman who is gentle, sensible, and knows how to ease Nathan's burdens.
09:22And that woman is clearly not you.
09:25I looked down at the check and laughed.
09:28So Vivian is the one who eases his burdens?
09:32Vivian is innocent and kind.
09:34Her brother and Nathan were close for years, and he died trying to save him.
09:39Nathan is supposed to protect her.
09:41As Nathan's fiancé, you should have supported him, not fought him every step of the way.
09:46That was the moment everything became clear.
09:48I smiled, a quiet kind of relief washing over me, and pushed the check back across the table.
09:55I stood up, looking down at his mother.
09:57I don't want your money, and I don't want Nathan either.
10:00I deleted every last contact.
10:03All of them.
10:05Then I threw myself into preparing for the competition.
10:09A few days later, Vivian knocked on my door.
10:12She was wearing a soft white dress, looking fragile enough to make anyone want to protect her.
10:17Erin, I came to apologize.
10:20What happened on the wedding day was my fault.
10:23I shouldn't have gotten sick.
10:25I didn't let her inside.
10:27I cut her off right there.
10:29Is there anything else?
10:31I'm busy.
10:31I moved to shut the door, already done with this.
10:35Nathan's been in a terrible mood these past few days.
10:38He's been drinking.
10:40I know it's because of me.
10:42It's just, five years ago, my brother saved his life.
10:46I never meant to be a burden to him.
10:49I really didn't.
10:50She reached into her purse and carefully pulled out a bank card.
10:53This is the card Nathan gave me.
10:55All the money is still on it.
10:57I'm giving it back to you.
10:58Please don't stay mad at him, okay?
11:01I let out a cold laugh.
11:06Every time you get sick, every time something happens to you, it's always when Nathan and I have something important.
11:11And you expect me to believe that's a coincidence?
11:14Take your card and get the hell away from my door.
11:17Her face went pale.
11:19Tears spilled down her cheeks.
11:21She turned and walked away.
11:23That night, Nathan came to my door reeking of alcohol and kicked it open.
11:27Erin!
11:28What the hell did you do to Vivian?
11:31She went home and slit her wrists.
11:33The housekeeper hadn't found her in time.
11:36She'd be dead.
11:37Are you happy now?
11:39Pain shot through my shoulder and I sucked in a breath.
11:42I didn't do anything.
11:44He let out a cold laugh and squeezed even harder.
11:46You're still denying it?
11:49She's so kind, she brought back every penny I gave her.
11:51So why did you have to push her like that?
11:54His grip was strong.
11:55The tears stunned my eyes, but I clenched my teeth and refused to give him what he wanted.
11:59Nathan, we were together for 10 years.
12:02Do you believe her?
12:04Or do you believe me?
12:06For one second, he just stared at me and I stared right back.
12:10I'm taking you to the hospital.
12:11You're apologizing to her.
12:13I stared at him, shocked and hurt.
12:15I'm not going anywhere.
12:16He grabbed my wrist.
12:18You don't get a choice.
12:19He dragged me toward the door.
12:21I fed him with everything I had.
12:26Nathan, are you insane?
12:27His eyes were bloodshot when he shouted back at me.
12:30No, you are!
12:32You were never like this!
12:34When did you become so vicious?
12:36So unreasonable?
12:37He dragged me all the way downstairs.
12:39His car was parked outside.
12:41He yanked the passenger door open and tried to shove me inside.
12:45I bit down on the back of his hand as hard as I could.
12:48He cursed and let go.
12:49I stumbled back, hair all over the place, completely devastated.
12:54Nathan, we're done.
12:56He froze.
12:57What did you just say?
12:58His face changed instantly.
13:00I said we're over.
13:02From this moment on, you and your Vivian have nothing to do with me.
13:06His face went stone cold with fury.
13:09As I turned away, he shouted after me.
13:11Aaron!
13:12You'd better not regret this!
13:15I slammed the apartment door shut, locked it, and leaned against it, listening to him
13:20pound on the door from the other side.
13:22Again and again.
13:24Then finally, I heard his car start.
13:26He was gone.
13:28I slid helplessly to the floor and wrapped my arms around my knees.
13:31That was when a sharp pain hit my lower abdomen.
13:34I looked down.
13:36Blood was running down my legs.
13:38I went to the ER alone.
13:39The doctor studied my ultrasound, then frowned.
13:43You're seven weeks pregnant.
13:44You've been under extreme emotional strain.
13:47There are already signs of a threatened miscarriage.
13:50I was lying in the hospital bed, pale as paper, holding on to the tiniest shred of hope.
13:55The doctor kept writing on my chart, glancing between the ultrasound and the report.
14:00We need to keep you under observation for now.
14:03But if you want to continue the pregnancy, we'll need to go over a few things.
14:07Is there someone we can contact for you?
14:10A husband?
14:11A partner?
14:12Anyone?
14:13He's out of town.
14:15Then call someone else.
14:17There's no one else.
14:19I hesitated for a long time.
14:21But in the end, I still called him.
14:24No answer.
14:25So I called his assistant, Liam.
14:28He picked up.
14:29But he could barely string a sentence together.
14:31A text came in and cut him off.
14:34Nathan was lying in a hospital bed beside Vivian, holding her in his arms.
14:38The tenderness in his eyes wasn't even hidden anymore.
14:42The last tiny light inside me went out.
14:44The day I was discharged, it was raining in New York.
14:48That same day, I accepted my offer from the Milan School of Design.
14:53On the dining table, I left the signed termination of engagement agreement.
14:57Next to it, I placed my ultrasound report and the consent form for the termination of my pregnancy.
15:03I sent him one final message.
15:05The papers are on the table.
15:07We're done for good.
15:09Before boarding, I took out my phone, snapped the SIM card in half, and dropped it into the trash.
15:15As the plane lifted off, I watched the city grow smaller beneath the clouds.
15:19My reflection in the window looked pale.
15:22But my eyes had never been steadier.
15:24Life in Milan was harder than I'd imagined.
15:27I didn't speak the language.
15:28I had no friends.
15:30And I had almost no money.
15:32I rented the cheapest apartment I could find.
15:35During the day, I went to class in the campus.
15:38At night, I washed dishes in a tiny restaurant until my hands were red and raw.
15:43It was hard.
15:44But for the first time in years, my heart was quiet.
15:47I poured everything I had into design.
15:50All ten years of love.
15:52All ten years of pain.
15:53I put all of it into my sketches.
15:56Draft after draft.
15:58Three months later, I stood on the stage of the Milan International Jewelry Design Competition.
16:04My final piece in hand, Caged Bird.
16:07And it won gold.
16:08That day, I stood under the spotlight, looking out at cameras and flashing lights.
16:14I smiled.
16:15Really smiled.
16:16I was no longer the Aaron who needed Nathan to survive.
16:19I was a jewelry designer.
16:21Aaron Bennett.
16:22I knew Nathan was still looking for me.
16:25He'd always liked making a spectacle of things.
16:27By the time I tossed yet another newspaper about his search into the trash, I barely felt anything anymore.
16:34I just picked up my pencil, lowered my head, and went back to drawing.
16:38Nathan went looking for me like a man who'd lost his mind.
16:42The day he got back to the apartment, he saw the empty closet and dresser.
16:46When he spotted the signed papers on the dining table, something inside him burned for the first time.
16:52He clutched that thin sheet of paper in his hand and started calling my name through the apartment.
16:58Aaron! Aaron, come out!
17:00Then his eyes landed on the consent form for the termination.
17:03It was like the ground had dropped out from under him.
17:06Aaron!
17:08Who said you could do this?
17:09Who gave you permission?
17:13He sat there on the floor, laughing and crying at the same time.
17:18My baby.
17:20My Aaron.
17:21His phone lay on the floor nearby, Vivian's name flashing again and again.
17:26He looked right at it and acted like it wasn't even there.
17:29He declined the call without a second thought.
17:32His hands were shaking so badly he could barely dial my number.
17:36The call went through.
17:37An automated voice answered.
17:39No one picked up.
17:41At last, he lowered his head onto his knees.
17:44Three years later, I came back to the States with my own jewelry brand.
17:48Time stilled.
17:50My first major show was set in New York.
17:52The venue was packed.
17:54Celebrities, buyers, editors, investors.
17:57My campaign visuals were even running across the giant screens in Times Square.
18:02Backstage, I watched my models step onto the runway wearing pieces I had designed myself.
18:07My assistant, Anna, walked over and handed me a glass of champagne.
18:11Boss, the CEO of Laurent Group is here, Nathan Laurent.
18:16My eyes went cold.
18:18Anna didn't know the history.
18:19All she knew was that a man like Nathan could mean a massive order.
18:23He's in the front row, and he hasn't stopped looking at you.
18:26He looks a lot thinner than he did in those magazine interviews a few years ago.
18:30And honestly, kind of wrecked.
18:33I took a sip of champagne, expression blank.
18:36At the end of the show, I walked out on stage for the designer's bow.
18:40I was wearing a floor-length red gown.
18:42The applause hit like thunder.
18:44I was used to being admired by a room full of people.
18:47His eyes were full of shock.
18:49And walked off stage.
18:51Backstage, Anna rushed over again.
18:54He wants to see you.
18:55He must have loved the collection.
18:56Maybe he wants to collaborate.
18:58I cut her off without hesitation.
19:00He said he'll wait.
19:02Then let him wait.
19:03I left through the side exit and got into the car.
19:06By the time we'd driven several blocks away, I glanced back once through the window.
19:10He was still standing there, watching my car disappear.
19:15The radio was on in the car.
19:17Then a caller requested an old love song.
19:20A song Nathan and I used to listen to 10 years ago.
19:23I turned the radio off.
19:25My brand took off fast in the US.
19:28Orders poured in non-stop.
19:30I barely had time to breathe.
19:32Nathan tried every possible way to see me.
19:35He bought the coffee shop downstairs from my studio and he rented the billboard across
19:38from my company and filled it with public apologies.
19:41He bought every single design I released.
19:44I ignored all of it.
19:45If anything, the harder he tried, the more pathetic the whole thing seemed to me.
19:50One afternoon, I had just finished a meeting when Anna came into my office.
19:56Boss, there's a woman downstairs asking for you.
19:59She says her name is Vivian.
20:00My pen froze.
20:02A dark blot of ink spread across the sketch on my desk.
20:05I hadn't seen Vivian in years.
20:07She had changed.
20:08Her makeup was flawless.
20:10Her suit was designer.
20:13She was no longer that fragile little victim everyone wanted to protect.
20:17Erin, it's been a long time.
20:20I finally looked up at her, calm, still, without the slightest ripple.
20:26I'm here to ask you to leave New York.
20:28Based on what?
20:30Who exactly do you think you are?
20:32I leaned back in my chair and let out a dry little laugh.
20:35Isn't that a good thing?
20:36You two were never supposed to be together in the first place.
20:40No, I was the one who stayed with him these last three years.
20:44I took care of him when he hit rock bottom.
20:47So why did you get to come back and take him from me?
20:50I looked at her like she was a joke that had gone on too long.
20:53Vivian, did you forget?
20:54He was mine first.
20:56You're the one who threw him away!
20:58My voice cut sharper than hers.
21:00No.
21:00She went red in the face.
21:02Then, finally, she reached into her bag, pulled out a stack of photos, and threw them onto my desk.
21:08Don't flatter yourself, Erin.
21:11You think he really loves you?
21:13He doesn't.
21:14He just feels guilty.
21:17Take a good look.
21:18And tell me what this is.
21:20I picked up the photos.
21:22The first thing I saw was a gravestone.
21:24The name on it was Cash and Cross.
21:27Vivian's brother.
21:27I scoffed and tossed the photo aside without a second look.
21:31So what is this?
