00:00The killing intent threw the screen.
00:02Vera, whose voice is that?
00:05I clamped a hand over the man's mouth.
00:07My brain spun.
00:08Honey, I'm watching a teen drama.
00:10Damon let out a cold laugh.
00:11Sure.
00:12My husband Damon Vance and I had a contract marriage.
00:15He was busy with work, didn't pay attention to me,
00:17even just came home a handful of times.
00:19That day I came home and saw him in a varsity football jersey.
00:23He looked young, quiet, and surprisingly well-behaved.
00:26I scoffed.
00:26What? Contract's almost up, so you want to suck up to me?
00:30You don't have to try this hard.
00:32I didn't wait for his answer.
00:33I stepped closer, then closer, hands all over him.
00:36Damon went stiff.
00:37He let me, right when I was about to go further.
00:41A video call came in.
00:42The contact name said, Damon, my husband.
00:45The phone screen flashed wildly in the living room.
00:48The words, Damon, looked especially sharp.
00:51I lowered my head, looked at the man pinned under me.
00:54My brain short-circuited for a second.
00:57If the person calling was my husband, then who was I sitting on?
01:02Damon clearly saw the screen, too.
01:04A flicker of shock crossed his eyes, then quickly smoothed over.
01:08I tried to stand.
01:08He used a little more strength, pressed me back down.
01:11His breath hit my collarbone.
01:13Honey, pick up.
01:15Why aren't you picking up?
01:17That voice.
01:18Those features.
01:20That bone structure.
01:21There couldn't possibly be a second person.
01:24Other than being a decade younger, he looked exactly like Damon.
01:28Was this some weird new game of his?
01:30I took a deep breath and slid the call open.
01:33Damon's mature, cold face appeared on the screen.
01:3730-year-old Damon.
01:39Every line of his face carried the pressure of years in boardrooms.
01:42He frowned slightly.
01:44His eyes scanned me through the screen.
01:46Vera, where are you?
01:47Why are you breathing like that?
01:49My heart jumped.
01:50I steadied my voice and lied.
01:52At home.
01:52Just finished yoga.
01:54Damon stared at the background on my screen.
01:56Why are the lights off?
01:57I was about to say I forgot to turn them on.
01:59The young man underneath me suddenly moved.
02:02He didn't just move.
02:03He pressed himself up into me on purpose.
02:04Babe, my leg's going numb.
02:08A heavy, breathy moan went straight into the microphone.
02:11The air went dead silent.
02:13On the other end, Damon's eyes turned to ice.
02:15I could feel the killing intent through the screen.
02:18Vera, whose voice is that?
02:21I clamped a hand over the man's mouth.
02:23My brain spun.
02:24Honey, I'm watching a teen drama.
02:26Damon let out a cold laugh.
02:27Sure.
02:28My flight gets in at 10 tomorrow morning.
02:30The call cut.
02:31I was furious and humiliated.
02:33I threw the phone aside and grabbed the boy by the throat.
02:36Who the hell are you?
02:37He wasn't bothered at all.
02:38He casually grabbed my wrist.
02:40I'm Damon Vance.
02:42He paused.
02:43His voice was full of swagger.
02:4420-year-old Damon Vance.
02:4810 minutes later, every light in the living room was on.
02:51I sat in the single armchair, arms crossed.
02:5420-year-old Damon sprawled across from me, his jersey hiked up to show a strip of stomach.
02:59He looked exactly like my husband.
03:01Just younger.
03:02Greener.
03:03His hair wasn't slicked back like a businessman's.
03:06It was a messy black cut.
03:07College boy's hair.
03:08He wasn't steady or controlled.
03:11He was electric.
03:12His eyes were full of curiosity and bite.
03:15I spent a full 10 minutes accepting the absurd fact of a time slip.
03:18The boy in front of me really was Damon.
03:2110 years ago, he'd been walking home from practice, cut through a tunnel by the field.
03:25Then, when he came out the other side, he ended up in my living room.
03:31So, you're my future wife?
03:33Young Damon looked me up and down.
03:35His eyes were shameless.
03:36Direct.
03:37That kind of in-your-face interest only a 20-year-old boy can pull off.
03:41Legally, we signed the papers.
03:44He let out a snort.
03:45Future me's got decent taste.
03:47But damn, he's living rough.
03:49He stuck you in this soulless box?
03:51He pointed at my empty, minimalist living room.
03:54What's wrong with him?
03:56I didn't know what to say.
03:57My marriage with Damon really was lifeless.
03:59Business merger.
04:00Mutual benefit.
04:02Three years in, we were the perfect couple in public.
04:05Behind closed doors, we were roommates with a shared lease.
04:08He ran his cross-border deals.
04:09I ran my art gallery.
04:11The fact that we had nothing to talk about wasn't even the main symptom.
04:14The main symptom was that we barely slept together.
04:17Twice a month was a good month.
04:18And only when his schedule was light.
04:21Big Damon always felt rigid to me.
04:23Boring as hell.
04:25I looked at this young Damon.
04:27All energy and snark.
04:29Suddenly, it felt interesting.
04:31You'll find out for yourself.
04:32I mean, in the future.
04:35But you.
04:36That little stunt earlier.
04:38What were you doing?
04:40Young Damon scooted closer.
04:41His scent hit me.
04:42Young.
04:43Alive.
04:44Just wanted to see how pathetic 30-year-old me turned out.
04:47His voice was full of open contempt.
04:49Married and leaves his wife alone every night?
04:51If I were him, I'd be too embarrassed to even check in by video.
04:55I couldn't help it.
04:56I laughed out loud.
04:58He stared at me with big eyes.
05:00His voice softened.
05:01Babe, he's pretty boring, isn't he?
05:04Snake.
05:05Pure, manipulative little snake.
05:07This kid was already this good at 20.
05:09I reached out and ran my hand through his hair.
05:12It was soft.
05:13Just the right texture.
05:14I played along.
05:16He really is boring.
05:20So what do you think I should do?
05:22Young Damon's eyes lit up.
05:24He said he's coming home tomorrow morning, right?
05:26He flipped the script.
05:27Caught my wrist.
05:28Tonight, I'll keep you company.
05:30I promise I'm way more fun than that old man.
05:34That night, we didn't do anything.
05:36Young Damon was only 20.
05:38I wasn't enough of a monster to touch a kid that age.
05:40But he was fun.
05:41He pulled me into an all-night gaming session.
05:44He laughed at me out loud when I lost and got mad.
05:46When I got hungry, he ran into the kitchen and made me a bowl of pasta.
05:50Babe, try my cooking.
05:52Spaghetti with my special sauce.
05:54It's bomb.
05:54I watched him moving around the kitchen.
05:56Something shifted in my chest.
05:5830-year-old Damon never went near a kitchen.
06:00He'd just have his assistant order the highest-end Michelin delivery.
06:04Or take me to some elegant rooftop fine dining.
06:07Too busy to be there?
06:08Just hand me a black card and call it done.
06:10At first, looking at the numbers in the account, I'd swallowed it down.
06:13So what if it was a sexless marriage?
06:15A few more years of saving and I wouldn't need to work at all.
06:19Honestly, plenty of women would kill for this kind of life.
06:21And Damon was cold.
06:23Yes.
06:23But the man was flawless to look at.
06:25I'd never really paid attention to other men before.
06:27But now I had a point of comparison.
06:29It had been a long time since I'd felt this kind of clumsy, warm, eager-to-please attention.
06:34Cute and passionate.
06:36The pasta was done.
06:37Young Damon brought the bowl over and set it in front of me.
06:40Eat up.
06:40Personally made by yours truly.
06:42Outsiders don't get this treatment.
06:44His voice was smug.
06:45I took a bite.
06:46It was actually pretty good.
06:47You've got skills.
06:49Babe.
06:50He watched me eat.
06:51You're cute when you play.
06:53Way cuter than I expected for an older woman.
06:55I stopped.
06:56Shot him a cold look.
06:57He immediately threw his hands up.
06:59Okay, okay.
07:00My fault.
07:01But you tell me.
07:02That 30-year-old me.
07:04Does he ever have him to hang out with you?
07:05His tone was a little off.
07:07I didn't catch it.
07:08At 30, you're a CEO.
07:10Busier than a surgeon.
07:12Never mind hanging out.
07:13He barely comes home.
07:15Who knew 20-year-old you would have this much life in him?
07:18Knew it.
07:18He's just an old man with money.
07:20He leaned in.
07:21His voice dropped low.
07:23Tempting.
07:23Forget about him.
07:25Be with me.
07:26I'm young.
07:27I've got energy.
07:28I'll satisfy you.
07:30Every night.
07:33A month later, I married Damon Whitmore.
07:36A year later, we had our first baby.
07:38And now, I was pregnant with our second.
07:40Honestly, if it had not been for Damon's family memorial, I never would have set foot back in
07:44this country.
07:44And I definitely would not have run into Ethan.
07:59Everyone thought I would swallow my pride and wait another month.
08:03After all, I had already waited seven years.
08:06But that night, I left the country for an arranged marriage.
08:09I vanished from his world completely.
08:11Three years later, I returned with my husband for a family memorial.
08:14My husband had something urgent to handle at the last minute.
08:17So he asked his local branch to send someone to pick me up.
08:20I stepped out of the airport and froze.
08:23Behind the wheel was Ethan, my ex-fiancƩe.
08:25Ethan, isn't that your obsessed ex?
08:28Isn't that Natalie?
08:29See?
08:30I told you guys she would come crawling back.
08:33Natalie disappeared for three years.
08:35Not a call, not a text.
08:36And now Ethan finally has money.
08:38And look who suddenly found her way back.
08:39She probably spent every night stalking his socials and crying into a cheap pillow.
08:44Natalie, if you're trying to stage a dramatic reunion, sweatpants were a bold choice.
08:49Couldn't you at least brush your hair first?
08:50Or did life without Ethan's get so bad you stopped trying altogether?
08:54You look like you came here to ask for a favor, not make a comeback.
08:57It was true.
08:58I used to spend hours getting ready for Ethan.
09:00Full makeup?
09:01Tight designer dresses.
09:03I always made sure I looked absolutely perfect for him.
09:06But I didn't need to do that anymore.
09:07I'm pregnant, so my husband won't let me wear makeup.
09:10He wants me to dress however feels best.
09:13He even has this plain-looking loungewear, custom-tailored for me in Paris.
09:17Listening to them mock me, it suddenly clicked.
09:20They had only read the name on the corporate dispatch.
09:22They had no idea the VIP they were picking up was me, a former acquaintance of mine.
09:27Anyway, it's nice having you back.
09:28Ethan actually spent years hunting for you and asking all over about-
09:31Ethan's face stiffened for a second.
09:33Then he acted like nothing happened.
09:35Madison's kid starts preschool next week.
09:37From now on, you're in charge of drop-off and pick-up.
09:40He was still incredibly arrogant.
09:41But I was not that naive little girl anymore.
09:44Seeing him only filled me with annoyance.
09:46I did not want to waste another second on them.
09:48When I was just about to tell them exactly who I was-
09:51Natalie, don't blame Ethan for this.
09:54He's only trying to look out for you.
09:55You disappeared for three years.
09:57Who knows what kind of shady things you had to do to survive.
10:00Look at you.
10:01Life really chewed you up.
10:03Ethan even wanted to give you a job as my personal secretary, but clearly, that would
10:07be too much for you.
10:08Don't worry.
10:09Being my nanny is honest work.
10:10No one's gonna look down on you for that.
10:12All right.
10:13Natalie, drop the attitude.
10:15You clearly couldn't make it on your own.
10:17So stop making a scene.
10:19Take care of the kid and learn your place.
10:23Don't worry.
10:24We still have a spare room for the nannies downstairs.
10:26Natalie, look how good Ethan is to you.
10:29He's giving you free room and board.
10:31Isn't babysitting better than whatever life you've been scraping by on?
10:34Hurry up and say thank you.
10:35Don't worry, dear.
10:37If my son acts up, I'll make sure he behaves.
10:39I won't let anyone give you a hard time.
10:42Give me a break.
10:43Who's giving her a hard time?
10:44She disappeared over one tiny misunderstanding.
10:46If life got rough out there, maybe she needed the lesson.
10:49Hearing that, my heart actually skipped a beat.
10:52Even now, he still thought doing the City Hall wedding registration with Madison was only
10:56a tiny thing.
10:57The Ethan who used to love me was truly dead.
10:59He was no longer the boy who carried me across town, but whatever that love had been, it
11:04was all in the past.
11:05After all, I was about to give birth to my second baby anyway.
11:10Aren't you here to pick me up?
11:12Let's go.
11:12The scene went quiet for a moment.
11:14Several people exchanged looks.
11:16Then they suddenly burst into laughter.
11:18Madison laughed like I had told a joke.
11:20Waiting for you?
11:21Do you even deserve that?
11:22Read the sign.
11:23We're waiting for Mrs. Whitmore.
11:25Do you even know who that is?
11:26Mrs. Whitmore is the lady of the Whitmore family.
11:29She is Damon Whitmore's lawful wife.
11:31And Mr. Whitmore is a ruthless billionaire.
11:34But in private, he is deeply devoted.
11:36People say he refused to get married back then because he was waiting for her.
11:40Everyone in our circle knows this.
11:41Don't bother sucking up to Damon.
11:43Suck up to Mrs. Whitmore.
11:44She is his entire world.
11:46Listening to them gossip about my marriage, I could not help smiling.
11:49After three years of marriage, Damon's business had grown bigger and bigger.
11:53And his reputation as a fiercely devoted husband had spread everywhere.
11:58Madison had always wanted to stand above me.
12:00She would never miss a chance to show off in front of me.
12:02To spoil his wife, Damon Whitmore once bought a diamond bracelet at Christie's.
12:07It's called Eternal Heart.
12:09It costs $20 million.
12:12Mrs. Whitmore is literally the most envied woman on earth.
12:15That's the exact same bracelet.
12:20It's a pretty good fake.
12:22What broke delivery guy bought you this?
12:24A cheap knockoff as a gift?
12:26Pathetic.
12:29It really is a high quality fake.
12:31Way better than the replica I bought.
12:33But I'd never wear mine in public.
12:35That would be humiliating.
12:37Foreign knockoffs really are something.
12:39The wait almost feels real.
12:41Wait.
12:42Don't tell me you're saying you're the real Mrs. Whitmore.
12:45Natalie, are you seriously claiming you're the legendary billionaire's wife?
12:48Natalie, why don't you sell me this fake?
12:51I'll pay you double whatever that broke delivery guy paid.
12:55Give that back right now.
12:57Damon gave that to me.
13:01Shut your mouth!
13:04Natalie, are you trying to get us both killed?
13:06You think you can just casually drop Mr. Whitwell's name?
13:11Are you trying to drag me down with you?
13:13Do you have any idea how hard we fought for this airport pickup?
13:17Mr. Whitfield bought out Ethan's company last year.
13:19Now all of us depend on him to survive.
13:21The only way Ethan keeps his position is if we impress Mrs. Whitfield.
13:24And you're out here spreading insane rumors about knowing him?
13:27Are you trying to ruin Ethan's career?
13:33Don't push your luck.
13:34Natalie, you ungrateful little-
13:35Ethan was kind enough to keep you off the street.
13:38I know you're bitter about the past, but trying to wreck his career just to get back at him?
13:41That's sick.
13:43Hearing her say that felt exactly like three years ago.
13:46No matter what I did, Madison twisted it.
13:48She would feed Ethan her poisoned version of the truth.
13:51In the early days, he used to defend me.
13:53But by the end, he always took her side.
13:55Just like right now.
14:00You're such a bitter, jealous woman.
14:06For the sake of what we used to be, I'll let this slide.
14:09Take the cash.
14:10Go buy yourself something decent to wear.
14:11If you really don't want a nanny Madison's kid, I'll pull some strings and get you a proper job next
14:16week.
14:16Don't worry.
14:18Ever since the Whitmore acquisition, this kind of money is pocket cheese to me.
14:22No thank you, sir.
14:23I don't take handouts from strangers.
14:33Natalie, I gave you money and you still refused?
14:35What do you mean?
14:36I'm a stranger to you.
14:37Since we've already broken up, it's better not to have any contact.
14:40Otherwise, people might understand.
14:42The company is holding a dinner for Mr. Whitmore in three days.
14:45I plan to take you there to see the world, but you need to buy a proper outfit first.
14:48Don't embarrass me when the time comes.
14:49There really is no needed.
14:51Natalie, you really have learned some attitude.
14:53Shoran, poor always have the worst piece and you don't want to go?
14:55Forget it.
14:55I'll take Madison.
14:57Ethan, I'll behave well.
14:58I absolutely would embarrass you.
14:59I did not want to keep getting tangled up with them.
15:02I hope that in three days you can still be this confident.
15:04I practically sprinted out of the arrival terminal.
15:08The fresh air outside finally pushed down the nausea churning in my stomach.
15:11My mind flashed back to three years ago.
15:16This is the best choice for our family.
15:18You have to accept it.
15:18Natalie, don't be childish.
15:19It's for your own good.
15:20I will never marry someone I don't love!
15:24Ethan, just elope with me.
15:27Let's leave here.
15:35Her child needs a legal father.
15:38I will divorce Madison in a month.
15:40Then marry you.
15:41Watching him hold her hand and walk into that clerk's office, I was completely done.
15:45I flew overseas for a blind date that very night.
15:48A month later, I married Damon Whitmore.
15:50A year later, we had our first baby.
15:52And now, I was pregnant with our second.
15:54Honestly, if it had not been for Damon's family memorial, I never would have set foot
15:58back in this country.
15:59And I definitely would not have run into Ethan.
16:09You said you wouldn't come, but your body is honest.
16:12If you want to chase me and make me turn back, you at least need to make me happy.
16:15For an occasion like today, you need to dress properly.
16:18Only then can you match my status.
16:21Natalie, I'm talking to you.
16:23Did you hear me?
16:23Our seats are right here.
16:25Where do you think you're going?
16:27Those are your seats.
16:29My seat is over there.
16:35Natalie?
16:35Tonight is Miss Miss Whitter's first public appearance.
16:38This year, this Whitter, dare you wear that bracelet?
16:40Wait, is that the eternal heart bracelet?
16:42The one Mr. Whitworth bought for his wife?
16:44Tonight is Mrs. Whitworth's first public appearance?
16:46Is this woman trying to insult Mrs. Whitworth?
16:48She's snoking.
16:49She's trying to embarrass us in front of Mr. Whitworth?
16:52Excuse me, Ethan.
16:53Is this young lady with you?
16:54No, I don't know her.
16:56Take that fake bracelet off and get out.
16:58Are you sure you want me to leave?
16:59What are you pretending for?
17:00Stop acting like you're important.
17:02Hurry up and take off the bracelet!
17:10When I said too rushed, I meant a ceremony like that isn't worthy of you.
17:14I only then saw the red roses in his hand.
17:17He went down on one knee.
17:19I'm Lucian Sterling.
17:21I've wanted to mate with you for a long time.
17:23But I won't let you sign yourself away in a place like this.
17:27Like it's nothing.
17:28He slid the ring on my finger.
17:30Keep the ring.
17:31The wedding I'll redo.
17:32The proposal I'll redo.
17:34But we sign right now.
17:36The day we planned to register our mating, the number soon got called.
17:39My fiancƩ Kyle yanked the bloodline folder out of my hand and pulled Chloe up to the
17:44counter instead.
17:45Let Chloe sign first.
17:47She's carrying my pup.
17:48The Sterling bloodline can't be born a bastard.
17:51You two are besties, right?
17:53Does it really matter who I mate with?
17:54Chloe leaned into his chest, blushing.
17:56The clerk hands it over the mating license.
17:59Kyle finally remembered I existed.
18:00He ruffled my hair.
18:02Relax.
18:02To the outside world, you're still Mrs. Sterling.
18:06After she gives birth, the pup gets registered under your bloodline.
18:09Saves you the pain of bearing one yourself.
18:11Even for both our family's sake, I won't humiliate you.
18:14He thought I'd cave like always, cry and beg him not to leave.
18:18I just smiled, turned around, and grabbed his older brother by the wrist.
18:22Lucian, our turn.
18:23I slapped my bloodline folder on the counter.
18:26You two are brothers, right?
18:27Does it really matter who I mate with?
18:29The whole registry went dead silent.
18:31Eyes ping-ponged between the three of us.
18:34Do you even know who he is?
18:35Lucian Sterling, my blood brother.
18:37You think he'd ever mate you?
18:38Chloe peeked out from his arms.
18:39Selena, sweetie, I know you're hurt, but you can't just throw yourself at anyone.
18:43He's the Sterling heir.
18:44Don't embarrass yourself.
18:45The friends around us started whispering.
18:47Someone laughed under their breath.
18:49Can't land the younger one, so she's going for the older one.
18:52The Vance princess really knows how to swing low.
18:55I ignored them and looked at Lucian.
18:57His eyes were so dark.
18:59Three years ago.
19:00The first time I walked into the Sterling estate, I ran straight into Lucian in the hallway.
19:05I looked up, panicked.
19:06The way he looked at me was strange.
19:08Then he dropped his lashes fast and it was gone.
19:11After that, Lucian helped me out a few times.
19:13I blacked out alone at a bar once.
19:15I woke up in his penthouse.
19:17I got cornered on a business deal.
19:18He stepped in and handled it.
19:21Then, this time, I was in trouble again.
19:23I forced the words out.
19:26Would you?
19:27I have 80% of Vance Industries and both your family's contracts.
19:31If you sign with me, I can hand all of it over.
19:34So, would you?
19:36Kyle's voice tightened.
19:38Lucian, don't listen to her.
19:40She's lost it.
19:41Lucian avoided my gaze.
19:43Too rushed.
19:44Then he walked out, didn't look back, and left me alone in utter disgrace.
19:48Kyle stepped in close.
19:49He grabbed a fistful of my hair and shook it like he was scolding a bad dog.
19:53That's my brother's polite way of rejecting you.
19:55You actually thought he wanted you?
19:58Selena, you've been simping after me for how many years?
20:02The whole pack knows you can't live without me.
20:04These words unlock something in my head.
20:07Right after Kyle graduated, he came to me about starting a pack venture.
20:11I sold the penthouse my mother left me and wired him every cent.
20:14No equity, no paperwork, just for love.
20:17He turned that money into a fortune.
20:19But in the second round of funding, the lead investor wouldn't sign.
20:23I went behind Kyle's back, set up a Vance-named dinner, and drank until my stomach bled.
20:28The investor signed.
20:29The night Kyle closed the round, he had a few drinks, pinned me against the wall, and kissed me all
20:34night long.
20:38Selena, why are you so good to me?
20:40I was just glad I could help.
20:42Everyone in our circle knew it.
20:44To my face, they called me devoted.
20:45Behind my back, I was the Vance family disgrace.
20:48My mother screamed at me about it more times than I could count.
20:51Your father's reputation is in shreds because of you.
20:55I didn't get it back then.
20:57I thought loving someone wasn't shameful.
20:59Hearing Simp come out of his mouth, I realized I was a joke.
21:03Kyle saw my face and smiled, almost gently.
21:06His thumb brushed my cheek.
21:07That's when I realized I was crying.
21:10Don't cry.
21:11People will think I did something to you.
21:13He sighed.
21:13Selena, you love me too much.
21:15I can't bring myself to really hurt you.
21:17So behave.
21:18I don't want to embarrass you.
21:19I don't want your parents losing face.
21:20You get me?
21:21Kyle was like hard liquor.
21:22First sip burned.
21:23But you kept drinking, until you were too gone to know you were dying.
21:27He pulled out a red mating license and shoved it into my hand.
21:30A photo of him and me on the front.
21:32Names, ID numbers, even the registry seal.
21:35But I saw it was fake at a glance.
21:37The face in the photo was mine.
21:39But the small mole just below the collarbone wasn't.
21:42That mole belonged to Chloe.
21:44Kyle had just grabbed a photo of him and Chloe, slapped my face over hers.
21:48He didn't even bother forging it properly.
21:50Chloe nestled into his arms, playing the bigger person.
21:53Kyle didn't want you to lose yours.
21:55So he had this fake license made up.
21:57Show it to your parents when you gom Selena.
