00:00:03My name is Alexia Vance, the fake daughter of the Jenkins family, the discarded wife
00:00:10of the Gibson family.
00:00:14Today, they show me what it means to lose everything.
00:00:18Mrs. Gibson, your husband just announced your divorce publicly.
00:00:20Any comment?
00:00:21Marily is the real daughter.
00:00:22You stole her place for 20 years.
00:00:24Don't you feel guilty?
00:00:26Before I could answer, Roger answers for me.
00:00:32You are never good enough for me.
00:00:34I never touch you because you disgust me.
00:00:37I laugh.
00:00:39I splash champagne right in his face.
00:00:46You never deserve me!
00:00:51I run into the rain.
00:00:55Marily's fans knock me down onto the street.
00:00:58Go back to your slum!
00:01:00So ridiculous.
00:01:02A failed marriage, a family that never gives me warmth, and they've brought me to this.
00:01:07If I'd known, why do I bother pretending?
00:01:10Before I pass out, I have only one thought.
00:01:14Roger, I'll make sure you leave with nothing.
00:01:18That's when a black umbrella cuts through the rain and appears above me.
00:01:23I look up and meet a sharp, intense gaze.
00:01:27Waylon.
00:01:28My childhood rival.
00:01:30Now the most powerful man in business.
00:01:35It's been years, Alexia.
00:01:36Look at you.
00:01:37What a mess.
00:01:39Did you finally cure that lovesick brain of yours?
00:01:41He lifts me into his arms.
00:01:43In front of everyone's stunned eyes,
00:01:45he carries me to that black Maybach.
00:01:51I feel the comfort of a matrice.
00:01:54A high fever pulling me into darkness.
00:01:57In my dream, I went back ten years.
00:02:02Waylon, why do you even care?
00:02:04I hate you!
00:02:06Fine.
00:02:08But never see each other again.
00:02:12That was the last time we saw each other.
00:02:15A huge fight.
00:02:16He blocked me, I blocked him.
00:02:19My phone rings, pulling me back.
00:02:21It was Roger.
00:02:27Alexia, where are you?
00:02:28You're signing that divorce agreement tomorrow.
00:02:30Stop standing in the way of Marillin and me!
00:02:33She's asleep.
00:02:35Right here.
00:02:36Next to me.
00:02:37What did you say?
00:02:38Who are you?
00:02:39He hangs up.
00:02:40I think he will leave.
00:02:42But he turns and sits on the edge of the bed.
00:02:45Listen.
00:02:46Whatever you want to do.
00:02:48Divorce.
00:02:48Or grind their faces into the dirt.
00:02:50You can use my power.
00:02:52My influence.
00:02:53My money.
00:02:53My connections.
00:02:54Take them.
00:02:55I freeze.
00:02:56He is willing to help me.
00:02:58But what right do I have to accept?
00:03:00I am no longer the Alexia who can argue and bicker with him without a care.
00:03:06Why?
00:03:07Because I want to.
00:03:08He stands and walks away without looking back.
00:03:11When the door closes, my heart aches.
00:03:14He is willing to give, but I don't dare take it.
00:03:17We aren't the same anymore.
00:03:18The fever breaks.
00:03:20I walk to the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror.
00:03:23For five years, I wear old lady clothes and ugly glasses.
00:03:28I play dumb, pleased everyone.
00:03:30And what do I get?
00:03:32Betrayal.
00:03:33Humiliation.
00:03:35Enough.
00:03:36This farce is over.
00:03:38I burn those ugly clothes and glasses.
00:03:47And pull out my best gown and jewelry from the bottom of my suitcase.
00:03:52Then, I dial a number I haven't called in years.
00:03:58Luna, you finally answered.
00:04:00I heard you're getting a divorce.
00:04:01Is it true?
00:04:04Luna.
00:04:05That's my codename in the financial world.
00:04:08The traitor who makes Wall Street tremble.
00:04:12Divorce is great.
00:04:14Roger never deserves you.
00:04:17I smile.
00:04:20Roger, let's see who wins.
00:04:24The day of the divorce negotiation.
00:04:29I walk into the White Dove Club in a red dress.
00:04:36Alexia, I heard you fell in the rain.
00:04:39It must have been so cold yesterday.
00:04:42Maraley, the real daughter of the Jenkins family.
00:04:45A famous actress.
00:04:47And Roger's first love.
00:04:49You didn't know, did you?
00:04:51Roger gave me this necklace on your wedding day.
00:04:54It's a symbol of his devotion.
00:04:56That cherry garden in the backyard was built for me too.
00:05:07Roger, are you going bankrupt?
00:05:09This is all I get?
00:05:10The prenup is clear.
00:05:11That's all you're worth.
00:05:14You owe me all of this.
00:05:17I owe you?
00:05:19Did I go to the Jenkins family begging to be taken in?
00:05:23Was I the one who refuses a DNA test and calls myself the real daughter?
00:05:29Did I chase after Roger?
00:05:31I slap her.
00:05:37You!
00:05:39I walk away without looking back.
00:05:43From now on, I won't stop for Roger.
00:05:47Outside the club,
00:05:50my best friend Ada Douglas is waiting.
00:05:56Alexia, we found out a huge secret.
00:05:58What?
00:06:00The Jenkins family knew Marily was their real daughter 24 years ago.
00:06:04They adopt you because you and her share a rare blood type.
00:06:08You've been a blood bank your whole life!
00:06:10Every time you donate blood, it's to save her!
00:06:12So that's it.
00:06:13No wonder they never treat me like a daughter.
00:06:16Also, a batch of biotech chips is smuggled out of the Garden of Eden.
00:06:21The most important one is in a crown called the Adam's Heart.
00:06:25It will appear at this weekend's charity auction.
00:06:28We need you to get that crown.
00:06:30Ideally through Waylon.
00:06:32Why him?
00:06:34He's about to become the new president of the Chamber of Commerce.
00:06:38I sigh.
00:06:39Looks like I have no choice but to get close to Waylon.
00:06:43That evening, I go to the Gibson Estate to see Eleanor.
00:06:47The moment I walk in, I run into Marily.
00:06:51Oh look, the fake daughter still has the nerve to show up.
00:06:56My heel comes down on her toes, and I slap her across the face.
00:07:01Shut your filthy mouth.
00:07:09Unfortunately, I see my scumbag ex-husband-to-be Roger again.
00:07:14His grandmother Eleanor calls him in.
00:07:18The Chamber of Commerce has a new president, Waylon.
00:07:23You want a position on the council?
00:07:25Then you need a respectable marriage and wife.
00:07:30Not an actress like that woman.
00:07:32But I don't love Alexia.
00:07:35Love?
00:07:37Marriage is a business.
00:07:39A lifelong performance.
00:07:41You maximize profit.
00:07:43No divorce.
00:07:44Roger gets torn apart.
00:07:46But I will never turn back again.
00:07:50I text him to finalize the divorce.
00:07:53He replies that he's busy.
00:07:55I text again.
00:07:57You're busy?
00:07:58Sounds like you haven't been humiliated enough.
00:08:02Roger texts.
00:08:04Alexia, you think everyone is as worthlessly free as you?
00:08:08You're unemployed.
00:08:12I curse under my breath.
00:08:14I curse under my breath.
00:08:14But I know.
00:08:15He's not busy.
00:08:17He just doesn't want the divorce anymore.
00:08:20Because without a respectable wife,
00:08:23Roger can't climb the ranks.
00:08:25He's finally tasting the bitter fruit he planted.
00:08:28But does he think stalling will help?
00:08:31I smile.
00:08:33Roger, you'll be on your knees begging me to sign.
00:08:38The moment we walk in,
00:08:40I run into Marily again.
00:08:43She's with her gang of useless friends.
00:08:48Oh, isn't this my fake sister?
00:08:51Are you here to mess around?
00:08:53I don't say a word.
00:08:55One pull sends her tumbling down 20 steps.
00:09:05The whole place erupts.
00:09:08That's when the crowd parts like the Red Sea.
00:09:12Waylon arrives.
00:09:19I watch him walk toward me.
00:09:21My heart suddenly beats a little faster.
00:09:26Wally, can we talk?
00:09:29Wally?
00:09:30She dares call Waylon that?
00:09:33Come in.
00:09:35I walk beside him into the arena.
00:09:37Roger and Marily stare at me from a corner.
00:09:40Their face is dark.
00:09:45The equestrian and shooting competition is about to start.
00:09:50Everyone's placing bets on the favorites.
00:09:52Marily.
00:10:00I haven't placed my bet.
00:10:02Any suggestions?
00:10:05Pick me.
00:10:07Silence falls.
00:10:11What did she say?
00:10:12She's not even on the roster.
00:10:15Adding one more person is easy.
00:10:17Take it as a meeting gift from you to me.
00:10:21How much do you want me to bet?
00:10:23Everything.
00:10:26But if you lose, Alexia, the payment is you.
00:10:30My heart tightens.
00:10:32How to compensate?
00:10:34Five years.
00:10:35You work for me.
00:10:37For free.
00:10:38Fine.
00:10:39I go change.
00:10:41When I appear in my riding suit, half my face masked, my name appears on the screen, and
00:10:47everyone's eyes widen in shock.
00:10:50Black Swan?
00:10:51Black Swan?
00:10:52The legendary female shooter who took Europe by storm five years ago?
00:10:55Ten shoots.
00:10:56Ten rings.
00:10:57Thirty seconds.
00:10:59After five years of silence.
00:11:01She's here?
00:11:02That's right.
00:11:03I am Black Swan.
00:11:06You're just using that name for attention.
00:11:08You'll never break records in this arena.
00:11:10How about a bet?
00:11:11If I win, anytime I'm in a competition, you're out.
00:11:15You think you're worthy?
00:11:19The competition begins.
00:11:26Marilly takes the stage first and breaks her own record with a time of 52.05 seconds.
00:11:36Drawing enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
00:11:39See?
00:11:40That's real skill.
00:11:42Alexia?
00:11:44A housewife for five years?
00:11:46She'll be lucky to stay on the horse.
00:11:49My turn.
00:11:51I mount the horse and gallop into the arena.
00:11:56Marilly lets out a sharp whistle.
00:11:58My horse suddenly loses control and bolts frantically toward the large barrel.
00:12:05Everyone holds their breath.
00:12:08Weyland's eyes are locked on me.
00:12:10I grip the horse with my legs.
00:12:12Lean close to its tail.
00:12:14As it loops over the barrel,
00:12:16I raise my shotgun,
00:12:18angle it just right,
00:12:20and pull the trigger.
00:12:22Perfect hit.
00:12:24The arena goes silent.
00:12:27The screen flashes.
00:12:2930 seconds.
00:12:3010 rings.
00:12:3330 seconds!
00:12:35Oh my God!
00:12:36She's Black Swan!
00:12:38She truly is!
00:12:42Impossible!
00:12:43No way!
00:12:44I turn to Marilly and Royal Lion and smile.
00:12:47Remember the bet.
00:12:49From now on, any arena I'm in,
00:12:51you're not welcome.
00:12:56Want to back out?
00:12:58Then kneel and apologize.
00:13:00You insufferable woman!
00:13:02He lunges at me.
00:13:04Security tackles him.
00:13:06I give him a thumbs up,
00:13:07then turn it down.
00:13:09Marilly turns livid and kneels down in front of me with extreme reluctance.
00:13:13Yet this is only the beginning of my counterattack.
00:13:20Black Swan,
00:13:21what inspired you to come back?
00:13:24Because I promised someone I'd give this trophy to him.
00:13:29Who?
00:13:30Which lucky guy?
00:13:31Everyone turns to look at Waylon.
00:13:34His face is blank,
00:13:35but he can't hide the smile.
00:13:39I walk to him,
00:13:41trophy in hand.
00:13:44For you.
00:13:45And I need a favor.
00:13:49Talk.
00:13:51This weekend's charity auction
00:13:53helped me get the Adam's Heart crown.
00:13:58After how you treated me,
00:13:59what makes you think I'd help you for nothing?
00:14:02I force a fake smile.
00:14:05I was young and stupid,
00:14:07always competing with you.
00:14:08I'm past that now.
00:14:11I'm sorry.
00:14:12He suddenly leans in,
00:14:14one hand bracing the wall behind me.
00:14:17I have nowhere to go.
00:14:19An apology?
00:14:21Words mean nothing without sincerity.
00:14:24He comes closer,
00:14:25his nose almost touching mine.
00:14:27My heart is about to leap out of my chest.
00:14:33One second,
00:14:35his face is inches from me.
00:14:36I think he is going to kiss me.
00:14:39The next,
00:14:41he smiles that knowing smile.
00:14:44You didn't seriously think
00:14:45I was about to kiss you,
00:14:46did you?
00:14:50I want the floor to swallow me whole.
00:14:53Ten years ago,
00:14:54it was the same.
00:14:55He always knows how to make fun of me.
00:15:02Listen, Alexia.
00:15:03I don't need your apology.
00:15:05And you shouldn't change for anyone.
00:15:11Then what do you want?
00:15:13I'll help you get the Adam's heart.
00:15:15But on one condition.
00:15:17That auction night,
00:15:18your time belongs to me.
00:15:23I nod and agree to him after that.
00:15:26After that,
00:15:27we go to choose my gown.
00:15:36This one.
00:15:37He picks a black feathered gown for me.
00:15:39Then fastens a sapphire necklace
00:15:42around my neck called Stellar.
00:15:46Why give me this?
00:15:48Because it fits.
00:15:50Fits?
00:15:51Does this necklace have any special meaning?
00:15:54In the mirror,
00:15:55he stands behind me,
00:15:57his gaze intense.
00:15:59I can't help but wonder
00:16:01what exactly will happen
00:16:02at the charity gala.
00:16:04The doors of the charity gala
00:16:06swing open.
00:16:08I walk in on Waylon's arm.
00:16:11The lights aren't half as burning
00:16:13as the eyes on me.
00:16:18Oh my god,
00:16:19who is that?
00:16:20She's stunning.
00:16:22Waylon's date.
00:16:23She's even more beautiful
00:16:24than that actress Marilly.
00:16:26The reporters who had been crowding
00:16:29Marilly swarm toward us.
00:16:33She stands in the corner,
00:16:35her face pale.
00:16:37I need to mingle.
00:16:38Wait here for me.
00:16:41Okay.
00:16:41I need to mingle.
00:16:51Oh.
00:16:52The moment Waylon leaves you
00:16:54drop the act?
00:16:55You think clinging to him
00:16:56can make you superior?
00:16:57She doesn't know
00:16:58I'm not the same Alexia
00:16:59who let people push her around anymore.
00:17:02Come closer.
00:17:04What for?
00:17:07The next second,
00:17:08I slap her hard on her face.
00:17:10She bends over,
00:17:12humiliated.
00:17:13Remember this.
00:17:15Next time you run your mouth,
00:17:16I'll cut out your tongue.
00:17:19She slinks away.
00:17:21Then a woman approaches,
00:17:23staring at my necklace.
00:17:24Oh my god,
00:17:25that's stellar.
00:17:27Do you know its meaning?
00:17:28I'm confused.
00:17:30It is born for unrequited love,
00:17:33symbolizing that someone
00:17:34is willing to guard
00:17:35a lonely star for a lifetime.
00:17:38I freeze.
00:17:40Could it be
00:17:41Waylon has been in love with me
00:17:43for 10 years?
00:17:46Before I can recover from the shock,
00:17:48an angry voice comes from behind.
00:17:50Alexia!
00:17:53What did you do to Marilly?
00:17:55He grabs my wrist
00:17:56hard enough to hurt.
00:17:57I used to endure it.
00:17:58Not anymore.
00:18:00Let go.
00:18:01You think you're something now
00:18:02that you've latched onto Waylon?
00:18:04I ought to.
00:18:07Release her.
00:18:10Waylon's voice cuts through
00:18:12like a blade of ice.
00:18:14Roger's hand drops instantly.
00:18:17Roger.
00:18:17Don't you want that project?
00:18:20Fine.
00:18:26Alexia,
00:18:27what do you say?
00:18:37He drinks.
00:18:38Until I'm satisfied.
00:18:40You're crazy!
00:18:41He's still recovering!
00:18:43What,
00:18:43don't want the project?
00:18:45I know Roger can't drink,
00:18:47but I want to watch him kneel.
00:18:49In front of Waylon,
00:18:50he doesn't even deserve to stand.
00:18:5310 shots of vodka.
00:18:54He passes out on the 7th.
00:18:58As they carry him away,
00:19:00he doesn't even dare look at me.
00:19:04The ballroom lights dim.
00:19:07Waylon takes my hand
00:19:08and leads me onto the dance floor.
00:19:16His hand rests on my waist.
00:19:19The music begins.
00:19:21That waltz.
00:19:24He spins me once.
00:19:26My gown blooming like a flower.
00:19:29Every step lands on a heartbeat.
00:19:34What is Roger to you?
00:19:36Ex-husband?
00:19:37Or someone you once loved?
00:19:42Nothing at all.
00:19:45Have you been well these 10 years?
00:19:48Have you?
00:19:50We fall silent together.
00:19:53As we spin,
00:19:54his chin nearly touches my forehead,
00:19:57his breath so light.
00:19:58You actually learned to waltz?
00:20:07I had a reason.
00:20:09I remember.
00:20:10Coming-of-age ceremony.
00:20:13You promised to be my dance partner.
00:20:18In that moment,
00:20:20my heart skips a beat.
00:20:22He really does remember.
00:20:24But that day,
00:20:25I never showed up.
00:20:2810 years later,
00:20:30tonight,
00:20:31we finally finish the dance
00:20:32we never had at 18.
00:20:34The same man stands before me,
00:20:36but everything between us has changed.
00:20:43As the song ends,
00:20:44he doesn't let go.
00:20:46What are you going to plotter?
00:20:48Pay me back for what you owe me.
00:20:52On the auction block,
00:20:54the atom's heart blazes under the lights.
00:20:57Roger has crawled back from the hospital,
00:21:00Marilly fuming beside him.
00:21:02Whatever you want,
00:21:03I'll bid for you.
00:21:04That crown?
00:21:06I want it.
00:21:09$150 million.
00:21:12Roger glances at me.
00:21:14His eyes filled with disdain.
00:21:15$200 million.
00:21:16$250 million.
00:21:21$300 million.
00:21:28$1 billion.
00:21:29The room goes dead silent.
00:21:31The gavel falls.
00:21:34Then Waylon picks up the crown
00:21:36and walks toward me.
00:21:38Don't move.
00:21:41He places the crown on my head.
00:21:47Perfect.
00:21:49Oh my god,
00:21:51Waylon bought it for her!
00:21:52Thank god Alexia dumped Roger,
00:21:54or she'd never have this kind of devotion.
00:21:57Marilly clutches Roger's hand jealously,
00:22:00her nails digging into his skin.
00:22:03Why?
00:22:03What makes her so special?
00:22:06Shut up!
00:22:08In that moment,
00:22:09I know,
00:22:10I have won,
00:22:11completely and utterly.
00:22:13The auctioneer clears his throat
00:22:15and strikes the hammer hard once.
00:22:17Next up,
00:22:19a piece by the gifted painter Sirius.
00:22:23Vengeance!
00:22:24Sirius's revenge appears on the big screen.
00:22:28A woman stepping on her husband's corpse,
00:22:30nestled in the king of God's arms,
00:22:33yet gripping a dagger aimed at his nape.
00:22:36The whole room gasps.
00:22:38The whole room gasps.
00:22:39And Roger?
00:22:40He stares at that painting as if nailed to the spot.
00:22:44That is me,
00:22:46Alexia Vance,
00:22:47the wife he never truly knew.
00:22:50Roger,
00:22:51do you know this Sirius?
00:22:56I saw her sketchbook once.
00:22:58She drew me after every match.
00:23:02She made me look like I mattered.
00:23:05She's the one I've been looking for.
00:23:07But I never met her.
00:23:08He is talking about me.
00:23:11That foolish girl
00:23:12who anonymously sent him that sketchbook.
00:23:15Revenge!
00:23:16By Sirius!
00:23:18Opening bid,
00:23:1920 million!
00:23:2140 million.
00:23:2360 million.
00:23:31You think you can compete with me?
00:23:34500 million.
00:23:36He doesn't even lower the paddle.
00:23:38No matter how much anyone offers next,
00:23:41I will add an additional 300 million.
00:23:43Are you crazy?
00:23:46I will help you get everything you want.
00:23:50Roger's face turns ashen.
00:23:53Muriel bites her lip.
00:23:55She knows a woman has taken root in Roger's heart.
00:23:58One she can never drive out.
00:24:02The auction ends.
00:24:04As I step out of the hall,
00:24:08Roger lunges from the shadows
00:24:09and grabs my wrist.
00:24:11His eyes are wild,
00:24:13like a mad dog.
00:24:14Alexia!
00:24:15Don't get too cocky!
00:24:16You're just Waylon's toy!
00:24:18Besides using men,
00:24:19what else can you do?
00:24:20Using men?
00:24:21You've depended on your family since birth
00:24:23and you're still useless.
00:24:25My talent,
00:24:26my ability,
00:24:26my money.
00:24:27You can't even dream of them.
00:24:29You!
00:24:32Still here?
00:24:33Need me to call security?
00:24:35Roger slinks away like a defeated dog.
00:24:39Waylon turns to look at me,
00:24:40his gaze both probing and amused.
00:24:43Just how many identities and secrets do you have?
00:24:47I smirk and don't answer.
00:24:49Surprises?
00:24:50There are plenty more.
00:24:53So what are you planning to do now?
00:24:56First,
00:24:56finish what I left undone.
00:24:58I want to go back to school,
00:25:00restart my research.
00:25:01Then go.
00:25:02You deserve better.
00:25:04I take off the gemstone necklace
00:25:06and hold it out to him.
00:25:08I should return this.
00:25:09It's too valuable.
00:25:11Keep it.
00:25:14It's an apology
00:25:16for leaving without a word ten years ago.
00:25:19He walks away.
00:25:22I stand there.
00:25:23Fingers on the cold gem on my palm.
00:25:27But my heart burns.
00:25:32The next day,
00:25:36I step onto the campus
00:25:37I haven't seen in years.
00:25:47Dr. White's office door is open.
00:25:50When he sees me,
00:25:52his eyes go moist.
00:25:54Alexia,
00:25:54you finally came back.
00:25:58It broke my heart
00:25:59when you gave up research to get married.
00:26:06Professor,
00:26:07I'm sorry.
00:26:07This time I won't leave again.
00:26:10I want to restart my research.
00:26:14Leaving the building,
00:26:16Roger walks toward me,
00:26:18still wearing that smug look.
00:26:20Are you here to be a janitor?
00:26:22Or to beg me to take you back?
00:26:24Dream on.
00:26:26I ignore him.
00:26:28The bell rings.
00:26:30The department head stands at the podium.
00:26:33Today,
00:26:34I'm thrilled to announce great news.
00:26:36My outstanding apprentice
00:26:38has finally returned
00:26:39and joined our research group today.
00:26:44I've long heard about the legendary apprentice.
00:26:47Everyone,
00:26:48let's welcome her with applause.
00:26:51I smile disdainfully.
00:26:54Roger's obsequious look
00:26:55will surely freeze the moment
00:26:57he knows the truth.
00:26:58I push open the door and walk in.
00:27:01Roger's pupils shrink
00:27:02when he sees me on the podium.
00:27:08The unsolved problem
00:27:10has hung on the bulletin board
00:27:11for five years.
00:27:13Everyone says
00:27:14whoever solves it
00:27:15gets into the research institute.
00:27:20During a break,
00:27:21I glance at it.
00:27:23Interesting.
00:27:24I pick up a pen
00:27:25and write down the solution.
00:27:30I don't leave my name.
00:27:35Oh my god!
00:27:37But the next day,
00:27:38the whole campus is buzzing.
00:27:41Someone has solved it.
00:27:42He stands before the bulletin board,
00:27:45in front of reporters and professors,
00:27:47shamelessly taking credit.
00:27:49The department head is impressed.
00:27:51Excellent.
00:27:52The research spot goes to you.
00:27:56Roger smiles smugly.
00:27:59He doesn't know I keep that scrap of paper.
00:28:02Three days later,
00:28:04at the academic assembly,
00:28:05he'll nail himself to the pillar of shame.
00:28:08The academic assembly,
00:28:10packed to the brim.
00:28:11Roger stands on stage,
00:28:14chalk trembling in his hand
00:28:15like a knife that will cut him instead.
00:28:17The second line he writes is wrong.
00:28:20Whispers begin to spread
00:28:21through the audience.
00:28:23Your deduction is completely wrong.
00:28:28I... let me start over.
00:28:32The more he writes,
00:28:33the messier it gets.
00:28:35He even mixes up basic algebra.
00:28:38The whispers turn into laughter.
00:28:47The third line is wrong.
00:28:52You didn't even understood the problem,
00:28:54yet you dared to pretend you solved it?
00:28:57All eyes turn to me.
00:28:59I walk onto the stage
00:29:00and take the chalk from his hand.
00:29:04On the blackboard,
00:29:05I write the first line,
00:29:07smooth as water.
00:29:09The second,
00:29:10the third,
00:29:11every step flawless.
00:29:13Oh my God,
00:29:15this is the real solution.
00:29:19Alexia!
00:29:21This is my star student.
00:29:23The research spot
00:29:25goes to you.
00:29:29Roger slinks off the stage,
00:29:31not even daring to look up.
00:29:34The applause is the loudest slap
00:29:36he's ever received.
00:29:42After the meeting,
00:29:43he blocks me in the hallway,
00:29:45his eyes vicious as a mad dog.
00:29:50You think this means you've won?
00:29:53I look at him coldly.
00:29:56I never considered you
00:29:58my equal opponent.
00:29:59Roger clenches his fingers
00:30:01until they turn white,
00:30:02forcing his voice out
00:30:03through gritted teeth.
00:30:06I'll destroy you.
00:30:10Try me.
00:30:11His eyes are like
00:30:13poison-tipped knives.
00:30:15I turn and walk away,
00:30:17my footsteps echoing
00:30:19in the empty hallway.
00:30:22Behind me,
00:30:23he stands frozen.
00:30:25Around the corner,
00:30:26Waylon leans against the wall.
00:30:28He has heard everything.
00:30:30Be careful.
00:30:31He's capable of anything.
00:30:33Make sure to back up
00:30:34your experimental data.
00:30:35I know.
00:30:37That night,
00:30:39the lab lights stay on
00:30:40until 3 a.m.
00:30:42I lock all the data
00:30:44in an encrypted drive
00:30:45and make three extra backups.
00:30:48I think that is foolproof.
00:30:51The day of the paper evaluation.
00:30:54I stand on stage
00:30:55and open my PPT.
00:30:57The data page.
00:30:59Blank.
00:31:00You come to an evaluation
00:31:01with no data?
00:31:02Is this nepotism?
00:31:04The judges whisper
00:31:05among themselves,
00:31:06doubts flooding in
00:31:08like a tide.
00:31:10Alexia,
00:31:11what's going on?
00:31:14Professor,
00:31:15my data couldn't just vanish.
00:31:17I request a one-hour postponement.
00:31:21I will prove everything.
00:31:23Offstage,
00:31:24Roger's lips curl up.
00:31:25He thinks he has won.
00:31:27He doesn't know
00:31:28for three years.
00:31:29Every page of my data
00:31:30is handwritten.
00:31:31I hold up that yellowed lab notebook.
00:31:34Three years.
00:31:35Over a thousand pages.
00:31:37Every data point handwritten.
00:31:40Every correction annotated.
00:31:42This is my complete record
00:31:43from the past three years.
00:31:45Please review page by page.
00:31:47If you're still not convinced,
00:31:49I can demonstrate
00:31:50the entire experimental process live.
00:31:55Excellent.
00:32:04Every data point
00:32:05has a numbered backup.
00:32:07This couldn't be fabricated.
00:32:10Allow me to show you something.
00:32:14The big screen lights up.
00:32:17Surveillance footage begins to play.
00:32:20Roger's face appears
00:32:22next to the lab's security guard.
00:32:26In that moment,
00:32:28Roger's face turns paler
00:32:29than a corpse.
00:32:35The next second,
00:32:36Waylon pushes open the door
00:32:38and walks into the hall.
00:32:48I've notified the police.
00:32:50All numbered backups
00:32:52will be forensically reviewed.
00:32:53His family's resources
00:32:55move like a thunderbolt.
00:32:57The security guard
00:32:58is taken away on the spot.
00:33:01Roger's qualification
00:33:02is revoked.
00:33:04Roger.
00:33:05Academic misconduct.
00:33:07Colluding with outsiders
00:33:08to destroy experimental data.
00:33:11Permanent expulsion.
00:33:20Alexia!
00:33:21I won't let this go!
00:33:26You've already run out of chances.
00:33:32As they drag him out,
00:33:33I turn to look at Waylon.
00:33:35He gives me a slight nod.
00:33:37In that moment,
00:33:39I know.
00:33:39I have never been fighting alone.
00:33:46In the corners out of my sight,
00:33:49Mariel is watching
00:33:50everything in the shadows,
00:33:52and she dials a phone call
00:33:54amid the crowd.
00:34:01Do it now.
00:34:03I'll make Alexia pay.
00:34:05This time,
00:34:06she's doomed.
00:34:10Overnight,
00:34:11the entire internet
00:34:12turns against me.
00:34:13People call me a fake heiress
00:34:15who craves wealth and luxury,
00:34:17stealing everything from Marielie.
00:34:19The comment section
00:34:20is a cesspool.
00:34:21Every word vile.
00:34:23My phone won't stop buzzing.
00:34:25All hate texts.
00:34:33Waylon walks in,
00:34:34carrying hot soup.
00:34:36He doesn't speak,
00:34:37just sets it down
00:34:38and sits beside me.
00:34:44Drink something.
00:34:46Tomorrow,
00:34:46I'll help you.
00:34:53Why are you so good to me?
00:34:55Because you're Alexia.
00:34:58No matter what others say.
00:35:00At that moment,
00:35:01my eyes sting with tears.
00:35:03I have always been
00:35:04overly strong-willed,
00:35:06determined to handle
00:35:07everything on my own.
00:35:09I finally realize
00:35:10what it feels like
00:35:11to be taken care of
00:35:13once in a while.
00:35:14The next day,
00:35:15I open my livestream app.
00:35:17My finger hovers over start.
00:35:20Waylon stands behind me.
00:35:26Go back to being
00:35:27the little devil
00:35:27who always got even
00:35:29from ten years ago.
00:35:32Anyway,
00:35:33if you really can't handle it,
00:35:35just ask me
00:35:35and I'll block everything for you.
00:35:41I laugh
00:35:42and my nerves relax.
00:35:44Don't dream on.
00:35:48I won't beg my rival.
00:35:50At eight sharp,
00:35:52I press live.
00:35:53My palms are sweating.
00:35:55I barely say
00:35:56hello everyone
00:35:57when the stream
00:35:58starts lagging.
00:36:00Garbled text
00:36:01floods the chat
00:36:02like a virus.
00:36:04Someone is attacking
00:36:06my stream.
00:36:07The chat is full of
00:36:09get lost
00:36:09and fake heiress,
00:36:10go die.
00:36:14I turn to look at him.
00:36:15He is typing furiously
00:36:17on his laptop.
00:36:19His brows furrowed so deep
00:36:21they could crush a fly.
00:36:26Hold on.
00:36:27Thirty seconds.
00:36:28I stare at the screen.
00:36:30Every second feels like a year.
00:36:32The chat keeps cursing,
00:36:34but I hear the keyboard
00:36:35behind me non-stop.
00:36:36He is fighting for me.
00:36:39Thirty seconds later,
00:36:40the chat is back to normal.
00:36:42His tech team
00:36:43has blocked every attack.
00:36:46I look back at him.
00:36:47His forehead
00:36:48is covered in sweat.
00:36:52When did you prepare this?
00:36:54From the very first second
00:36:55they came after you.
00:36:56My nose stings.
00:36:58So he has been quietly
00:37:00blocking all the knives
00:37:01aimed at me.
00:37:07I take a deep breath
00:37:08and pick up the package.
00:37:11I tear the tape open.
00:37:13A bloody dead rat
00:37:14rolls out onto the table.
00:37:17The chat explodes instantly.
00:37:20My stomach churns,
00:37:21but I don't flinch.
00:37:23I look straight
00:37:23into the camera.
00:37:29They want me to shut up
00:37:31with threats,
00:37:33with online hate,
00:37:34with this dead rat.
00:37:37But today,
00:37:38I'm telling the whole truth.
00:37:40The chat is full of doubt.
00:37:42I open my mouth,
00:37:43but no words come.
00:37:45Waylon steps out of frame
00:37:46and puts his hand
00:37:47on my shoulder.
00:37:49I'm here.
00:37:53I grip the mouse
00:37:54and show the bank statements
00:37:56page by page.
00:37:58My phone rings.
00:38:00Marie Lee.
00:38:01I hit speaker.
00:38:07You ungrateful rat.
00:38:09The Jenkins family
00:38:10raised you for 20 years.
00:38:13A thousand a month
00:38:14for 20 years
00:38:16never increased?
00:38:17This is your idea
00:38:18of raising me?
00:38:21A thousand?
00:38:23My dog costs more.
00:38:26Meanwhile,
00:38:27your real daughter
00:38:28spends 10 years
00:38:29of my living expenses
00:38:30on one dress.
00:38:32You're lying!
00:38:33And my blood.
00:38:35You take it
00:38:36whenever you want.
00:38:37I roll up my sleeve
00:38:39and hold my scarred wrist
00:38:40to the camera.
00:38:42The chat goes silent.
00:38:43Then a flood of monster
00:38:45fills the screen.
00:38:48You failure!
00:38:50Marie Lee keeps screaming,
00:38:51but no one listens.
00:38:53I hang up.
00:38:55Trending number one.
00:38:57We stand with Alexia.
00:39:0420 years of humiliation
00:39:06today.
00:39:07I finally breathe free.
00:39:11Next,
00:39:12it's Roger's turn.
00:39:14You did it.
00:39:16No.
00:39:17We did it.
00:39:19Without you,
00:39:20I wouldn't have made it.
00:39:22He reaches out
00:39:23and pulls me
00:39:24into his arms.
00:39:25I rest against his chest,
00:39:27listening to his heartbeat,
00:39:29feeling safe
00:39:30for the first time.
00:39:33Weyann,
00:39:34you've been so good to me.
00:39:35How can I ever repay you?
00:39:37Weyann cups my face,
00:39:38his thumb brushing away
00:39:39the tears
00:39:40at the corner of my eye.
00:39:41Give me the Alexia
00:39:42from 10 years ago.
00:39:44The one who chased
00:39:45after me to argue.
00:39:47Who rolled her eyes at me.
00:39:53The you who hadn't learned
00:39:54to swallow her pride.
00:39:57But,
00:39:59I'm not the same person anymore.
00:40:01That's okay.
00:40:03I'll help you find her again.
00:40:05I freeze.
00:40:06He doesn't want repayment.
00:40:07He wants me to be me.
00:40:10He leans down
00:40:11and kisses my forehead.
00:40:14Soft as a falling feather,
00:40:16I close my eyes
00:40:17and for the first time,
00:40:18I don't pull away.
00:40:20Roger hides from me
00:40:21for a whole week.
00:40:23He won't sign,
00:40:24so I go to him myself.
00:40:27Roger sees me in his office,
00:40:29his face turning pale
00:40:30with anger.
00:40:31What are you doing here?
00:40:33Bringing you a gift.
00:40:37I put the recording pen
00:40:38onto his desk.
00:40:40Press play.
00:40:41Five years ago,
00:40:42his voice coaxing
00:40:43an underage girl
00:40:44in a private club,
00:40:46crystal clear.
00:40:47Roger's face
00:40:48instantly turns white.
00:40:56How do you have this?
00:40:58Want me to give this
00:40:59to the police?
00:41:00Or will you sign?
00:41:01I'll sign.
00:41:02I'll sign.
00:41:03I'll sign.
00:41:05Roger grabs the pen,
00:41:06his hand shaking.
00:41:09Alexia,
00:41:10we were married after all.
00:41:12Can't you just...
00:41:13No.
00:41:14I want you to walk away
00:41:16with nothing.
00:41:17One cent short,
00:41:19and this recording
00:41:20goes online.
00:41:23He signs and slumps
00:41:24in his chair.
00:41:25I take the divorce papers
00:41:27and walk out
00:41:28without looking back.
00:41:30That night,
00:41:31I post on moments.
00:41:32Just two words.
00:41:34Free now.
00:41:35Weyland likes it.
00:41:41The next second,
00:41:42Ada calls.
00:41:45Congrats on being single.
00:41:47Single party.
00:41:48I booked the most expensive
00:41:49male escorts.
00:41:50Tonight,
00:41:51we drink till we drop.
00:41:53Okay.
00:41:55At the party,
00:41:57I get drunk,
00:41:57dizzy.
00:42:03Someone pushes me
00:42:04to kiss one of them.
00:42:16The door bursts open.
00:42:18Weyland stands there.
00:42:19His face dark
00:42:19as a storm cloud.
00:42:21Let's see who dares.
00:42:27He throws me
00:42:28over his shoulder.
00:42:29I struggle a bit.
00:42:33He tosses me
00:42:34into the car
00:42:34and drives home.
00:42:37Inside,
00:42:38he sets me
00:42:39on the sofa
00:42:39and turns to leave.
00:42:46Drunk,
00:42:46I grab his tie,
00:42:47hold his face,
00:42:48and kiss him.
00:42:49He freezes,
00:42:51then pushes me away.
00:42:52His voice hoarse.
00:42:57That night,
00:42:58he sleeps on the couch.
00:43:00I toss and turn,
00:43:02my heart aching
00:43:03and warm
00:43:03all at once.
00:43:05In the underground garage,
00:43:06the lights flicker.
00:43:07I walk toward my car.
00:43:08Footsteps come from behind.
00:43:10More than one.
00:43:10A hand covers my mouth.
00:43:12A gun presses into my waist.
00:43:13Roger steps out of the shadows,
00:43:15his eyes wild as a mad dog.
00:43:17Alexia,
00:43:17you ruined me.
00:43:18Today,
00:43:19you're not leaving alive.
00:43:20I am shoved into a van,
00:43:22blindfolded.
00:43:23The ride is long,
00:43:25ending at an abandoned factory.
00:43:28The stench of rust
00:43:29stings my nose.
00:43:36Boss,
00:43:37this chick is gorgeous.
00:43:38Let us have some fun first.
00:43:41Whatever.
00:43:42Just keep her breathing.
00:43:45The thug's hand reaches for my collar.
00:43:48I fetched the silver needle in my ring
00:43:50and stab it in.
00:43:52He screams and falls.
00:43:56Another lunges,
00:43:57I grab a pipe and swing at his head.
00:44:00I crouch down and grab his gun.
00:44:03At the same time,
00:44:04the scar-faced man pulls out a gun as well.
00:44:07A gunshot.
00:44:09The scar-faced man drops.
00:44:11I hold the smoking pistol.
00:44:13My hand is shaking.
00:44:15But my eyes don't flinch.
00:44:20Roger presses a gun to my head.
00:44:26You ruined me.
00:44:28I won't let you live either.
00:44:31Compare shooting skills with me.
00:44:33Can you really pull the trigger?
00:44:35Your hand is shaking.
00:44:39His finger is on the trigger.
00:44:41Veins bulging.
00:44:43Outside, hurried footsteps approach.
00:44:50Bang.
00:44:51A gunshot.
00:44:53The door is kicked open.
00:44:56And Waylon stands in the backlight,
00:44:58with smoke still rising from the muzzle of his gun.
00:45:03Weyland's bullet tears through Roger's wrist.
00:45:06Roger screams and collapses.
00:45:09The gun skittering away.
00:45:11Blood splatters on my face.
00:45:15Weyland walks over and pulls me into his arms.
00:45:23I'm late.
00:45:27His arms are tight.
00:45:29As if trying to press me into his bones.
00:45:32Cut off his fingers.
00:45:34Roger is pinned down.
00:45:37His screams piercing the space.
00:45:40Weyland, please.
00:45:42Let me go.
00:45:43I'll never do it again.
00:45:45Kneel.
00:45:47Kneel to Alexia.
00:45:54In the end, he kneels, his head hitting the floor.
00:46:00Weyland carries me out of the factory.
00:46:05Don't worry about repaying this favor.
00:46:07The night wind is cold.
00:46:09But his chest is warm.
00:46:12Weyland.
00:46:14Hmm?
00:46:21Don't.
00:46:23You never have to thank me for anything.
00:46:26But I need you to tell me.
00:46:30Who do you love now?
00:46:32I lean closer on him.
00:46:34And hear his heartbeat.
00:46:38Fast and heavy.
00:46:40I look at him and suddenly ask.
00:46:42Who do you think I love?
00:46:45Definitely not Roger.
00:46:47I smile.
00:46:48Then I ask the question that has been stuck in my throat.
00:46:53Why did you block me back then?
00:46:56Why don't I undid you without a word?
00:47:01Why'd you leave without a word?
00:47:03Weyland is silent for a long time.
00:47:05His voice very low.
00:47:08My mother was sick.
00:47:11Mentally ill.
00:47:14She cut off all my connections.
00:47:16Including you.
00:47:17I freeze.
00:47:19I have never seen Weyland like this.
00:47:21Vulnerable.
00:47:22As if he might shatter.
00:47:25Why didn't you tell me sooner?
00:47:28Why didn't you tell me sooner?
00:47:28Back then, your eyes were only on Roger.
00:47:32If I had told you, would you have believed me?
00:47:35I stay silent.
00:47:36He is right.
00:47:37Back then, I couldn't see him at all.
00:47:39What about now?
00:47:42Guess.
00:47:43He doesn't speak.
00:47:45He just holds my hand.
00:47:47Outside.
00:47:48Dawn is breaking.
00:47:50My phone lights up.
00:47:53Ada texts.
00:47:54Check the news.
00:47:56Jenkins' stock is crashing.
00:47:58The legendary Luna made her move.
00:48:00I pick up another phone and log into Luna's account.
00:48:04On the screen, the stock prices of Jenkins Group and Gibson Group are diving.
00:48:08I make a phone call.
00:48:10This is Luna.
00:48:11I'm shorting Jenkins and Gibson.
00:48:13I need your capital.
00:48:15How much do you want to make?
00:48:18It's not about money.
00:48:21I want both families destroyed.
00:48:30Interesting.
00:48:31We're in.
00:48:34I hang up and look out the window.
00:48:37This city is about to change.
00:48:40What?
00:48:41Multiple institutions withdrawing at once?
00:48:44Who is behind this?
00:48:46I can't trace it.
00:48:47They have top tier cybersecurity.
00:48:50News spreads online.
00:48:53Mystery trader Luna.
00:48:54Suspected of personal vendetta against Jenkins.
00:48:58I know Muriel's hands will start trembling.
00:49:03The next day at opening.
00:49:06Jenkins' stock plunges.
00:49:15Who did you we people piss off?
00:49:18My stocks are crashing too.
00:49:21You dare blame me?
00:49:23If you hadn't provoked Alexia.
00:49:25What does Alexia have to do with this?
00:49:27What can a divorced woman do?
00:49:30This technique.
00:49:31Too precise.
00:49:35Every move hits our weakest spot.
00:49:40Then Muriel remembers.
00:49:42Ten years ago, I minored in finance.
00:49:46I graduated top of her class.
00:49:51No.
00:49:53Luna can't be her.
00:49:59Weyland has also found something.
00:50:01He places a photo on my desk.
00:50:04Is this you?
00:50:05Luna's award photo.
00:50:11I look up and meet his eyes.
00:50:14When did you find out?
00:50:16Earlier than you think.
00:50:18Need a hand?
00:50:22He doesn't press.
00:50:24I smile.
00:50:28You're already helping.
00:50:30Next.
00:50:31They'll tear each other apart.
00:50:35This is all your fault!
00:50:37If you hadn't stolen Alexia's grades back then, would she be doing this to us?
00:50:43My fault?
00:50:45You're the one who brought her home.
00:50:48Just then, I call Marilly.
00:50:55Want to save Jenkins?
00:50:57Come alone.
00:50:59Who are you?
00:51:00I don't answer.
00:51:02Just hang up.
00:51:03Marilly arrives at the meeting spot.
00:51:05Pushes open the door.
00:51:06I sit on the sofa, coffee in hand.
00:51:29I stand and walk toward her, step by step.
00:51:37She backs away until she hits the wall.
00:51:41The name Jenkins is about to become history.
00:51:45In your dreams!
00:51:47She slams the door and leaves.
00:51:53I pick up my phone and dial.
00:51:57Keep selling.
00:51:58The next round of selling begins.
00:52:01Jenkins' stock plummets non-stop.
00:52:05Buy!
00:52:06Buy!
00:52:08Whatever it takes!
00:52:11Numbers flicker on the screen.
00:52:13Their wealth evaporating by the second.
00:52:17I calmly hit confirm.
00:52:22They won't last much longer.
00:52:24Margin is running out.
00:52:26Your margin is critically low.
00:52:28Forced liquidization imminent.
00:52:33No!
00:52:34Give me more time!
00:52:36Sorry.
00:52:37Automatic system.
00:52:38Forced liquefaction.
00:52:40Jenkins' stock crashes to an all-time low.
00:52:43Marley collapses in her chair.
00:52:47It's all...
00:52:49over.
00:52:51I open my account.
00:52:53The profit holds steady at nine figures.
00:52:55I pick up my phone and dial the next number.
00:53:03Next, Gibson.
00:53:05News reaches the Gibson estate.
00:53:09Roger's grandmother suffers a heart attack and is rushed to the hospital.
00:53:15Roger watches the screen at the exchange, then drops to his knees.
00:53:22The doorbell rings.
00:53:23I open it.
00:53:25Roger kneels on the doorstep, his forehead pressed to the cold tiles.
00:53:34Alexia, please stop.
00:53:36Gibson is finished.
00:53:38I have nothing left.
00:53:40I lean against the doorframe.
00:53:42Arms crossed.
00:53:44Looking down at him.
00:53:47Remember what you said when you walked away with nothing?
00:53:51I...
00:53:51I said a lot of terrible things.
00:53:54You said...
00:53:55Alexia, you think you're something just because you latched onto Waylon.
00:53:59You're worthless.
00:54:01Now who is worthless?
00:54:03Roger's tears fall.
00:54:04I was wrong.
00:54:05I truly know I was wrong.
00:54:07In the distance, Wayden's car sits across the street.
00:54:09He doesn't get out.
00:54:10He just watches.
00:54:11I turn and close the door.
00:54:13Behind me, Roger's voice fades.
00:54:14I lean against the door and close my eyes.
00:54:18The crying outside slowly disappears.
00:54:24My phone lights up.
00:54:27Wayden is downstairs.
00:54:34I pull back the curtain.
00:54:36Across the street, he leans against his car and waves.
00:54:41The city has never felt so quiet.
00:54:44The finance summit opens.
00:54:46Industry titans gather.
00:54:48Security is tighter than an airport.
00:54:51Waylon and I walk in side by side.
00:54:54I heard Luna is showing up today.
00:54:56No way.
00:54:57Luna never appears in public.
00:54:59In the corner, Marley and Roger fidget, sweat glistening on their foreheads.
00:55:04Marley is caked in makeup, hoping to salvage her reputation.
00:55:08Luna won't come.
00:55:10Luna won't come.
00:55:10Those trading records must be fake.
00:55:12Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome today's special guest.
00:55:17One Edward Nguyen.
00:55:19The lights suddenly dim.
00:55:20A spotlight hits the stage entrance.
00:55:23Let's welcome the legendary trader, Luna!
00:55:31I stand and smooth my dress.
00:55:35Every eye in the room turns to me.
00:55:39No!
00:55:40It really is her.
00:55:43This is...
00:55:44Luna?
00:55:45I walk onto the stage.
00:55:48My heels echo in the dead silence.
00:55:55The big screen lights up, playing Luna's 10 years of trading records.
00:56:01Every trade is proof.
00:56:08The collapse of Jenkins and Gibson was my design.
00:56:11The images keep rolling on the screen.
00:56:15Marley's face shifts from arrogance to sheer terror.
00:56:22Turn it off!
00:56:23Turn it off now!
00:56:25Turn it off?
00:56:26When you stole my math competition results and faked your way into college,
00:56:31why didn't you say stop then?
00:56:33Dead silence.
00:56:35The click of cameras is like a hailstorm.
00:56:39And you, Zayn.
00:56:4020 years.
00:56:42How much blood did you take from me?
00:56:44Zayn slumps in her seat.
00:56:46Today, in front of everyone,
00:56:48I am taking back what's mine.
00:56:52I pull up the final trade.
00:56:54Before today's opening bell,
00:56:56the profit on the screen
00:56:57makes everyone gasp.
00:57:01That's...
00:57:01nine figures.
00:57:04Jenkins halted.
00:57:05Gibson bankrupt.
00:57:07I keep my word.
00:57:08Offstage,
00:57:09Marley slumps in her chair like mud.
00:57:11Roger keeps his head down,
00:57:13unable to look at me.
00:57:15The room falls silent for a few seconds,
00:57:17then applause surges like a wave.
00:57:19I stand on stage under everyone's gaze.
00:57:22Those who once looked down on me,
00:57:23now don't even have the courage to raise their heads.
00:57:26On my birthday,
00:57:27Waylon books the entire revolving restaurant.
00:57:31Candles flicker,
00:57:33the city glittering beyond the windows.
00:57:38Birthday present.
00:57:41He takes a small box from his pocket.
00:57:44I open it and freeze.
00:57:46This is...
00:57:47companion?
00:57:48It matches my stellar?
00:57:50I have been wearing it since the year you left.
00:57:54You...
00:57:54wore it all this time?
00:57:58Ten years.
00:58:02Now,
00:58:03it's time to return it to its owner.
00:58:07He kneels and holds the ring up to me.
00:58:12I reach out,
00:58:13my fingers trembling.
00:58:16The moment the ring slides onto my finger,
00:58:20fireworks explode outside.
00:58:23I love you.
00:58:24Will you marry me?
00:58:28I shyly nod.
00:58:29He kisses me.
00:58:32Under a sky full of stars,
00:58:34beneath the lights of the whole city.
00:58:36When did you start liking me?
00:58:39Much earlier than you think.
00:58:42He leads me to the window
00:58:43and points at a distant star.
00:58:45That star is called CX 330.
00:58:49A lonely star.
00:58:51The necklace around my neck
00:58:53was made after it.
00:58:55He holds my hand tight.
00:58:57In that moment,
00:58:58I know I will never be alone
00:59:00for the rest of my life.
00:59:02My 10-year retrospective
00:59:03opens at Amos Gallery.
00:59:06The crowd surges,
00:59:08reporters swarming.
00:59:09In the corner,
00:59:10I see a familiar figure.
00:59:13Roger is there too.
00:59:14He doesn't know Sirius is me.
00:59:17Sirius is the artist I had most in my life.
00:59:19Her paintings once saved me.
00:59:22Have you ever met her?
00:59:24No.
00:59:25She sent me a sketchbook anonymously back then
00:59:28and I...
00:59:30I gave it back.
00:59:31I stand in the shadows,
00:59:33watching him coldly,
00:59:35a mocking smile on my lips.
00:59:37He will never know
00:59:38that the person he pushed away
00:59:40is right in front of him.
00:59:43Everything is ready?
00:59:45Unveil the next painting.
00:59:48Which one?
00:59:50First love.
00:59:53The curtain slowly rises,
00:59:55like a trial 10 years overdue.
00:59:58The curtain slowly rises.
01:00:00First love is unveiled.
01:00:03The girl in the painting
01:00:04has a gentle profile,
01:00:06a hairpin in her hair,
01:00:08the very one he had given her back then.
01:00:11No.
01:00:13This can't be.
01:00:15He freezes,
01:00:16reaching toward the frame.
01:00:18Security stops him.
01:00:20I walk over slowly.
01:00:26You...
01:00:26You're serious?
01:00:29Surprised?
01:00:32That rainy night.
01:00:34The one who gave me the sketchbook?
01:00:37Was you?
01:00:39Yes.
01:00:41And you threw it back in my face.
01:00:43In front of everyone.
01:00:46Farewell is unveiled.
01:00:48The room falls dead silent.
01:00:50The face in the painting is Rogers.
01:00:53He shoves to the front,
01:00:56staring at the name on the sketchbook.
01:01:01I...
01:01:01I...
01:01:02I didn't know it was you.
01:01:04If I had known...
01:01:06If you had known it was me,
01:01:08would you have treasured it?
01:01:09No.
01:01:11You are just bitter about losing a trophy.
01:01:14That's not true!
01:01:15Alexia, I really...
01:01:18I don't need your repentance.
01:01:21I don't care about your regret.
01:01:24He collapses on the floor like an abandoned doll.
01:01:31Reporters snap photos,
01:01:33flashbulbs leaving him nowhere to hide.
01:01:37Outside the gallery,
01:01:39Waylon leans against the car waiting for me.
01:01:41The night wind tousles his hair.
01:01:43When he sees me come out,
01:01:45he puts out his cigarette.
01:01:51Feel better?
01:01:59I get into the car and lean against the window.
01:02:04I steal a glance at him,
01:02:06unable to hide my smile.
01:02:09So this is what it feels like to have someone waiting for you.
01:02:14Roger rushes home and pulls out the torn then-glued sketchbook.
01:02:18Looking at the pages, tears fall one by one.
01:02:21He clutches the sketchbook and sobs,
01:02:25saying he missed the best thing.
01:02:27The doorbell rings.
01:02:29Mariel stands at the door.
01:02:31Having heard what happened,
01:02:33she's here to comfort Roger.
01:02:35She tells him he still has her,
01:02:37and she will always stay by his side.
01:02:40Get lost!
01:02:41I never loved you!
01:02:47What are you saying?
01:02:50Your eyes look like hers.
01:02:52Your smile, too.
01:02:54But now the real one is back!
01:02:56You are nothing!
01:02:57Get lost!
01:03:01Mariel leaves crying.
01:03:05Roger rushes back to his room.
01:03:09Kissing.
01:03:13And smashing my photos.
01:03:15The next day,
01:03:16I have just stepped out of my company building
01:03:18when I see Roger kneeling at the bottom of the steps.
01:03:21The marble floor is cold,
01:03:24dust smudged across his forehead.
01:03:27Alexia!
01:03:28I have completely cut ties with Mariel!
01:03:31Look, here are our chat logs,
01:03:33and here's proof I blocked her!
01:03:36You think this clears your name?
01:03:41I just want you back!
01:03:43I'll do anything!
01:03:46Whether you have cut ties or not
01:03:47has nothing to do with me.
01:03:49I stopped wanting you long ago.
01:03:51I turn and walk away on Waylon's arm.
01:03:54Behind me,
01:03:55hurried footsteps.
01:03:57Roger lunges,
01:03:58his fingers nearly touching the hem of my coat.
01:04:02One more step,
01:04:03and I'll make you disappear from this city completely.
01:04:06Behind me,
01:04:07muffled crying,
01:04:08not sobbing,
01:04:10the kind of weeping that wants to scream but can't.
01:04:12I don't look back.
01:04:14In the car,
01:04:15Waylon holds my hand.
01:04:17His hand is warm.
01:04:18Calluses on his palm.
01:04:20I lean on his shoulder and close my eyes.
01:04:23In the rearview mirror,
01:04:25Roger's figure grows smaller,
01:04:27then becomes a speck,
01:04:28then gone.
01:04:30The video of Roger kneeling goes viral.
01:04:33Some comments say he deserves it.
01:04:35Others say he is pathetic.
01:04:37But I don't care anymore.
01:04:42Late at night,
01:04:43I leave the lab.
01:04:45I open the car door and start the engine.
01:04:50In the rearview mirror,
01:04:52a dark figure flickers.
01:05:00Suddenly,
01:05:01roadblocks appear ahead.
01:05:03Orange cones across the road.
01:05:05I slam the brakes.
01:05:08The door slides open,
01:05:10and a hand covers my mouth and nose.
01:05:13I struggle,
01:05:14kick,
01:05:14dig my nails into that hand.
01:05:16Don't be afraid.
01:05:17I would never hurt you.
01:05:19Never.
01:05:20When I wake up,
01:05:22I am in a wedding gown,
01:05:24tied to a cross in an abandoned church.
01:05:28Candles flicker.
01:05:29Balloons float.
01:05:31Roger wears a black suit,
01:05:33a red rose on his chest.
01:05:37He walks towards me.
01:05:49Don't be afraid.
01:05:52Today is our wedding day.
01:05:57You're insane!
01:05:59Let me go!
01:06:00Smile.
01:06:01Wedding photos.
01:06:02The flash stings my eyes.
01:06:05I struggle,
01:06:06but the ropes only tighten.
01:06:08Will you marry me?
01:06:13Somebody help!
01:06:14His face changes instantly.
01:06:17Willing or not,
01:06:19tonight is our wedding night.
01:06:24He presses frantic kisses to my collarbone.
01:06:27I close my eyes,
01:06:28my teeth biting down on my tongue.
01:06:30If I am going to die,
01:06:32I don't want to see his face.
01:06:34Just then,
01:06:35a loud crash.
01:06:36The church door is kicked open.
01:06:41Against the light,
01:06:43I see a figure.
01:06:44Tall,
01:06:45straight.
01:06:53Waylon rushes in
01:06:56and kicks Roger flying with one foot.
01:06:59Roger falls to the ground.
01:07:02Waylon.
01:07:05I'm sorry.
01:07:06I'm late.
01:07:19She is my wife!
01:07:21We are going to consummate!
01:07:23Police rush in
01:07:25and pin Roger down.
01:07:26Handcuffs click shut.
01:07:36Next life,
01:07:38I'll find you again.
01:07:39Don't listen.
01:07:40You can't escape.
01:07:42I'm here.
01:07:44Outside the church,
01:07:45the red and blue lights of police cars
01:07:47flash on Waylon's face.
01:07:49I touch his face.
01:07:51He smiles and sweeps me up into his arms,
01:07:54carrying me to the car.
01:08:02Waylon takes me home
01:08:03and helps me sit on the sofa.
01:08:05He kneels down
01:08:07and gently lifts my wrist.
01:08:09The rope burns coil around my skin
01:08:11like a serpent.
01:08:13Does it hurt?
01:08:15No.
01:08:16Just a little cold.
01:08:19He gets up
01:08:20to get a blanket,
01:08:22an ointment.
01:08:25I curl up on the sofa.
01:08:28When he returns,
01:08:30he drapes the blanket
01:08:31over my shoulders.
01:08:36Then opens the ointment
01:08:38and carefully applies it
01:08:39to my wrists.
01:08:41From now on,
01:08:42no driving home alone.
01:08:44You're not my chauffeur.
01:08:47I am your husband.
01:08:49That's a husband's right.
01:08:50I can't help but smile.
01:08:53He looks up at me.
01:08:54Our eyes meet.
01:08:56This time,
01:08:57not drunk,
01:08:58not impulsive.
01:08:59I just want to kiss him.
01:09:00I hold his face
01:09:01and kiss him.
01:09:02His lips are a little dry,
01:09:04but warm.
01:09:05Are you sure?
01:09:07Yes.
01:09:08He freezes for a second,
01:09:10then cups the back of my head
01:09:12and deepens the kiss.
01:09:14His fingers thread through my hair,
01:09:16his other arm around my wah-ist,
01:09:18pulling me into him.
01:09:21The tulle of the wedding gown wrinkles,
01:09:23whispering softly.
01:09:26The next morning,
01:09:28sunlight streams through the floor-to-ceiling window.
01:09:32I reach beside me,
01:09:34empty.
01:09:43Weyland is frying eggs in the kitchen.
01:09:46I lean against the doorframe
01:09:48and watch his back.
01:09:50When did you learn to cook?
01:09:53The year you left.
01:09:58I thought if you ever came back,
01:10:00I could cook for you.
01:10:01My nose stings.
01:10:04I walk over and hug him from behind,
01:10:06pressing my face to his back.
01:10:09His body stiffens for a moment,
01:10:11then he holds my hand.
01:10:14Weyland.
01:10:17Hmm?
01:10:19I want to make you breakfast every day.
01:10:28Promise?
01:10:32I promise.
01:10:33He kisses my forehead.
01:10:36Sunlight streams through the window,
01:10:38falling on us.
01:10:40In that moment,
01:10:41I feel that all the suffering
01:10:43has been worth it.
01:10:45Outside,
01:10:46the sun is shining.
01:10:47I have finally waited for my sunny day.
01:10:50I think it's all over.
01:10:52But Morealy won't give up.
01:10:54She stops reporters
01:10:55at the Chamber of Commerce banquet,
01:10:57crying on cue.
01:10:59Excuse me, excuse me.
01:11:02Alexia didn't earn her place
01:11:03in the research institute.
01:11:05She uses Weyland's money and power.
01:11:08She is his mistress.
01:11:09Trading her body for resources.
01:11:12Those academic achievements
01:11:14were all bought.
01:11:15The news spreads across the internet.
01:11:17The comments start calling me
01:11:19academic whore again.
01:11:21This time,
01:11:23I don't panic.
01:11:24Want me to kill the trending?
01:11:27No.
01:11:30I'll go live myself.
01:11:32On camera,
01:11:34I pull out our marriage certificate
01:11:36and show it to everyone.
01:11:38Weyland and I have been married
01:11:39for some time.
01:11:40We are legal husband and wife.
01:11:42Calling me his mistress?
01:11:44Since when does a mistress
01:11:46get a marriage certificate?
01:11:49Oh my god.
01:11:50They have been married all along.
01:11:55She is my wife.
01:11:56Anyone else who tries to slander her
01:11:58will see me in court.
01:11:59The comments explode.
01:12:01Morealy's face is thoroughly slapped.
01:12:04She hides in a corner,
01:12:05grinding her teeth.
01:12:07Alexia, just wait.
01:12:10I won't let you go.
01:12:12On the trial day,
01:12:14Morealy is brought
01:12:14to the defendant's box.
01:12:17She has lost weight.
01:12:20Her eyes like a trapped beast.
01:12:22Defendant Mariel Jenkins,
01:12:24you are charged with hiring kidnappers,
01:12:26academic slander,
01:12:27evidence forgery,
01:12:29and bribery.
01:12:30Do you plead guilty?
01:12:35I'm mentally ill.
01:12:36You can't sentence me.
01:12:37I have proof!
01:12:41Her lawyer produces a diagnosis,
01:12:43claiming she has
01:12:44severe schizophrenia.
01:12:48The judge frowns.
01:12:53May I submit evidence?
01:12:56These are three independent
01:12:58psychiatric evaluations,
01:12:59all confirming the defendant
01:13:01is mentally competent.
01:13:02The so-called diagnosis
01:13:03was bought for $500,000.
01:13:06Oh.
01:13:08How do you know?
01:13:09The rumor erupts.
01:13:11The judge strikes the gavel.
01:13:12Defendant Mariel Jenkins,
01:13:14on multiple counts,
01:13:16is sentenced to 15 years in prison.
01:13:20No parole.
01:13:24Alexia!
01:13:25Even as a ghost,
01:13:27I won't let you go!
01:13:29Then be a ghost properly first.
01:13:36She is put into the police van.
01:13:39When the door closes,
01:13:44I finally let out a long breath.
01:13:50Waylon takes my hand.
01:13:51It's over.
01:13:52From now on,
01:13:54no one will dare bully you.
01:14:01The once grand mansion is auctioned off,
01:14:04and the hangers-on scatter.
01:14:08After Marilee goes to prison,
01:14:10the Jenkins family completely collapses.
01:14:15I stand in front of the old Jenkins estate,
01:14:17watching them paste the seal on the door.
01:14:23Childhood memories rush back.
01:14:25The first time they brought me home,
01:14:27I thought I finally had a family.
01:14:36What are you thinking?
01:14:38Thinking about the past.
01:14:40I was so stupid.
01:14:42Not stupid.
01:14:43You just wanted to be loved too much.
01:14:45I turn and bury my face in his chest.
01:14:48He pats my back gently.
01:14:55Waylon, thank you for never giving up on me.
01:14:59I couldn't bear to.
01:15:00Sunlight falls on us.
01:15:02The dust of the Jenkins estate scatters in the light.
01:15:05I know it's time to let go of the hate.
01:15:08Take me somewhere.
01:15:10Where?
01:15:11The orphanage.
01:15:13I want to see the children.
01:15:15He smiles,
01:15:16takes my hand,
01:15:17and gets into the car.
01:15:25In the rearview mirror,
01:15:27the Jenkins estate grows smaller.
01:15:29I don't look back.
01:15:31On the day Waylon is officially inaugurated
01:15:34as the Chamber of Commerce president,
01:15:36I accompany him.
01:15:38Those who once looked down on me
01:15:40line up to curry favor.
01:15:42Mrs. Mason,
01:15:44you look beautiful today.
01:15:46You and Waylon
01:15:47are a match made in heaven.
01:15:50I heard you are also Sirius and Luna?
01:15:53Oh my god,
01:15:54you're a genius!
01:15:55You flatter me.
01:15:57They aren't flattering me.
01:15:59They are flattering the position beside Waylon.
01:16:02I don't care anymore.
01:16:04Alexia,
01:16:04I was blind before.
01:16:06Could you and Waken spare Roger?
01:16:08He already knows he was wrong.
01:16:11The law will decide he's guilty.
01:16:13It's not up to me.
01:16:16You!
01:16:17Madam,
01:16:18please behave.
01:16:20One more word,
01:16:21and I'll call security.
01:16:23She slinks away.
01:16:26Waylon leads me out of the banquet hall,
01:16:28but doesn't get into the car.
01:16:32He takes my hand
01:16:33and walks me through the garden
01:16:34to the century-old auditorium.
01:16:40Why are we here?
01:16:44Do you remember this place?
01:16:46I pause.
01:16:47Of course I remember.
01:16:50Ten years ago,
01:16:51I competed here
01:16:52in the national math competition
01:16:53and won gold.
01:16:55He was there too.
01:16:56You sat in the third row staring at me.
01:16:58I thought you were looking for a fight.
01:17:00Not a fight.
01:17:01I was afraid someone else would take you.
01:17:03I freeze.
01:17:04He leads me up the steps
01:17:06and pushes open the heavy wooden door.
01:17:09Moonlight streams through the windows.
01:17:12In the empty auditorium,
01:17:13there are only the two of us.
01:17:17Ten years ago,
01:17:18I sat here watching you receive your award on stage.
01:17:22In that moment,
01:17:23I thought one day
01:17:24I will have you standing beside me.
01:17:26Not as a rival,
01:17:28but as mine.
01:17:29So you always picked fights with me?
01:17:34Deliberately made me angry?
01:17:37Because that was the only way you would notice me.
01:17:41My nose stings.
01:17:43All those years of arguments and silent treatments.
01:17:46They were his clumsy confessions.
01:17:53Weyland, you're such a fool.
01:17:56Yes.
01:17:57Fool enough to wait for you for ten years.
01:18:05Weyland takes me to a villa by the sea.
01:18:08Only the sound of waves.
01:18:10Only moonlight.
01:18:17He opens a bottle of red wine
01:18:19and pours two glasses.
01:18:25Candles flicker.
01:18:27His eyes brighter than the stars.
01:18:31You know,
01:18:32ten years ago,
01:18:33I wanted to bring you here.
01:18:39Why here?
01:18:41Because you love the sea.
01:18:43You said you wanted a small by the ocean
01:18:45to see the sunrise every morning.
01:18:49I freeze.
01:18:50That was a casual remark when I was 15.
01:18:53He actually remembers.
01:18:56You,
01:18:57you remembered for ten years?
01:19:05Every word you said,
01:19:07I remember.
01:19:12He walks over and gently unclasps
01:19:15the stellar necklace from my neck.
01:19:17Then he lowers his head
01:19:18and kisses my collarbone.
01:19:27Mrs. Mason,
01:19:28tonight I don't want to hold back.
01:19:35Back in the room,
01:19:36I paused by the bed
01:19:37and slowly untied my sash.
01:19:39He smiled and walked toward me.
01:19:43As our eyes locked,
01:19:44he leaned down
01:19:45and pressed his warm lips to mine.
01:19:49He lifted me into his arms,
01:19:52my legs wrapping around his waist
01:19:53as he gently lowered me onto the bed.
01:19:57His weight pressed down heavily
01:19:59as his trembling,
01:20:00burning hands went straight to my chest,
01:20:02urgently kneading.
01:20:07He was kissing and caressing me.
01:20:13Below,
01:20:14he pressed tight,
01:20:16grinding with a restless,
01:20:18instinctive fervor
01:20:19that drove our temperatures
01:20:20to the absolute limit.
01:20:24I have waited too long
01:20:25for this day.
01:20:28Then what are you waiting for?
01:20:30He smiles like a wolf
01:20:31who finally caught his prey that night.
01:20:33The waves can't drown out our breaths.
01:20:38Does it hurt?
01:20:40No.
01:20:42Just
01:20:43too hot.
01:20:47Then one more time?
01:20:56Sunlight streams through the window,
01:20:58falling on us.
01:21:00When did you wake up?
01:21:03Didn't sleep.
01:21:05Couldn't bear to.
01:21:07My fingers trace his brow,
01:21:09his nose,
01:21:09and land on his lips.
01:21:13Flirting with me this early?
01:21:16I'm not flirting.
01:21:18You're the one too close.
01:21:21Alexia,
01:21:22I want a child with you.
01:21:28What
01:21:29did you say?
01:21:31I said,
01:21:33I want to be a father.
01:21:35My face burns to my ears.
01:21:38He holds my hand slowly,
01:21:39threading his fingers through mine.
01:21:43Then,
01:21:45let's start tonight.
01:21:48Tonight?
01:21:50Why not now?
01:21:54Go make breakfast.
01:21:56I'm hungry.
01:22:02Fine.
01:22:03Feed you first,
01:22:04so you'll have energy tonight.
01:22:06He gets out of bed
01:22:07and heads to the kitchen.
01:22:09I lean against the headboard,
01:22:11unable to suppress my smile.
01:22:16On the day of the tenure ceremony,
01:22:19I stand on the podium in my academic gown.
01:22:24Seated below are my students,
01:22:26colleagues,
01:22:26and Waylon.
01:22:28Today,
01:22:29Today,
01:22:30we award Professor Jenkins tenure.
01:22:38Her contributions to bioengineering
01:22:41have advanced the entire field.
01:22:43applause erupts.
01:22:45I see Professor Bai's eyes redden.
01:22:48Waylon is clapping,
01:22:50a smile on his lips.
01:22:56The meaning of science is not to make a few stronger,
01:23:00but to give everyone an opportunity.
01:23:02I was an orphan as a child.
01:23:05Science gave me a second life.
01:23:08I step off the podium.
01:23:11Waylon walks toward me
01:23:12with the bouquet of irises.
01:23:14Students start cheering.
01:23:17Kiss! Kiss!
01:23:20What are you doing?
01:23:22This is a university!
01:23:24I know,
01:23:26but I want everyone to know
01:23:28that you are my wife
01:23:29and the greatest pride of my life.
01:23:32He leans down and kisses me.
01:23:34Under the gaze of the entire department,
01:23:38I don't pull away.
01:23:44The applause is even louder than before.
01:23:48Professor Bai laughs out loud.
01:23:55Three months later,
01:23:56I find out I am pregnant.
01:23:59Two red lines on the pregnancy test.
01:24:02My hands tremble.
01:24:08Waylon is in a meeting in his study.
01:24:11I can't wait for him to finish.
01:24:13I push the door open.
01:24:15He looks up
01:24:17and sees what is in my hand.
01:24:21Meeting adjourned.
01:24:25He turns off the computer,
01:24:27walks over,
01:24:28and takes the test from my hand.
01:24:32He stares at the two red lines,
01:24:34frozen.
01:24:40Really?
01:24:42Really.
01:24:43He holds the test up to his eyes,
01:24:45examining it several times.
01:24:47Then he suddenly lifts me up
01:24:49and spins me around three times.
01:24:51No!
01:24:51I'm going to be a father!
01:24:55I'm going to be a father!
01:24:58Put me down!
01:24:59I'm dizzy!
01:25:00He carefully puts me down,
01:25:02his hand resting on my still flat stomach.
01:25:05His touch is light,
01:25:07as if afraid of breaking something.
01:25:10In here,
01:25:12our child is here.
01:25:14Yes.
01:25:16I'm going to name him.
01:25:17If it's a boy,
01:25:19Waylon Jr.
01:25:20If it's a girl,
01:25:21Stella,
01:25:22meaning star.
01:25:24I look down,
01:25:25touching the unborn life inside me.
01:25:27Tears fall.
01:25:29He is no longer alone.
01:25:31Neither am I.
01:25:32Pregnancy is hard,
01:25:33but Waylon never leaves my side.
01:25:35He cancels all business trips
01:25:37and makes me breakfast every day.
01:25:39Open up.
01:25:40Ah.
01:25:42I can feed myself.
01:25:44No.
01:25:45You're a protected asset now.
01:25:47I roll my eyes,
01:25:48but still open my mouth.
01:25:49He smiles smugly.
01:25:51A week before the due date,
01:25:53we are at the hospital.
01:25:55He is more nervous than me,
01:25:57pacing the hallway.
01:25:59I'm scared.
01:26:01What are you afraid of?
01:26:04Losing you.
01:26:06Childbirth is too dangerous.
01:26:08Let's not have more.
01:26:09One is enough.
01:26:10My nose stings.
01:26:11He isn't afraid for the child.
01:26:13He is afraid for me.
01:26:15I won't.
01:26:16I'm strong.
01:26:20Contractions hit.
01:26:21I grip his hand in pain.
01:26:25A few hours later,
01:26:27a baby's cry rings out.
01:26:29A girl.
01:26:31Waylon rushes in.
01:26:33He holds her,
01:26:34carefully places her beside me.
01:26:36Then he leans down
01:26:38and kisses my forehead.
01:26:40Thank you, Alexia.
01:26:42Thank you for giving me a home.
01:26:44I cry.
01:26:45Not from pain,
01:26:47but because I have finally
01:26:48waited for this day.
01:26:54On our daughter's first birthday,
01:26:57Waylon takes me to the Maldives.
01:26:59He says it's to make up
01:27:01for our honeymoon dot.
01:27:03The yacht floats on the sea,
01:27:05surrounded by dark water
01:27:07and a sky full of stars.
01:27:09He carries me to a deck chair.
01:27:33He kisses me from my forehead
01:27:36to my ankles.
01:27:37Each kiss is like saying,
01:27:40I love you.
01:27:51Waylon.
01:27:54Hmm?
01:27:59I love you.
01:28:01He stops and looks at me.
01:28:03In his eyes are starlight and tears.
01:28:07Say it again.
01:28:14I love you.
01:28:16I have loved you for a very long time.
01:28:19I just didn't dare to admit it.
01:28:23That night,
01:28:24the yacht drifts for a long time.
01:28:26The sea is calm.
01:28:28Only the sound of our breaths
01:28:30and heartbeats.
01:28:31I smile in my dream.
01:28:34The person I hated the most
01:28:36became the one I love the most.
01:28:40Fate is a strange thing.
01:28:42If you ask me
01:28:43what the luckiest thing
01:28:45in this life is,
01:28:46I would say,
01:28:47that rainy night,
01:28:49he came to me with an umbrella.
01:28:51I love you.
01:28:51I love you.
01:28:51I love you.
