02:57i touched the little black
02:59then crumbled the paper and threw it into the trash
03:06when i came out
03:07matthew was standing by the window in a sharp suit
03:10reading the news
03:11he saw my suitcase and put down the paper

03:51so i took a few sips
03:53he took a lemon candy from a jar
03:55opened it
03:56and told me to open my mouth
03:58this candy was always his way of making me feel better after my medicine
04:02but now it wasn't sweet at all
04:05i said with a sad smile
04:10it's bitter
04:14matthew frowned for a second
04:16then he grabbed the whole jar and threw it into the trash
04:20fine
04:22let's just throw it away
04:25elizabeth hates candy
04:27the smell makes her sick
04:30i stared at the jar in the trash
04:32it felt like someone was twisting my heart
04:34he had bought that jar for me in paris when i was 20
04:38as i was leaving matthew sent me a text

05:29matthew froze for a moment
05:30then furrowed his brows
05:32before he could speak
05:34i swallowed all the bitterness in my throat
05:36and forced a smile
05:38just kidding
05:41i'm heading to work
05:44the station is awarding me the annual golden journalist award today
05:47i can't be late

05:52when i hurried to the television department
05:54i saw elizabeth in a red dress
05:57walking out of the director's office
05:58with a radiant smile
06:00the director's secretary held up a document and announced loudly
06:04everyone
06:05diara is moving to the web department today
06:09elizabeth will take her place as the main anchor
06:12a sudden transfer
06:13my mind instantly buzzed with a deafening roar
06:17the secretary gave me an awkward look
06:24matthew arranged this himself
06:27he's also giving the best journalist award to elizabeth
06:30elizabeth walked down the steps
06:32and threw all my coffees into the trash
06:34her eyes revealed a mix of provocation and smugness
06:38are you at deirdre
06:42sorry for taking your job
06:44and your trophy
06:47after leaving the television department
06:49i took out the elevator card
06:52matthew had given me
06:53and rode straight up to the 112th floor
06:56as the elevator reached the 50th floor
06:59the rain grew heavier
07:00i suddenly remembered the very first time
07:03i laid eyes on matthew seven years ago
07:05because i was so desperate for money
07:08i was tricked into a private club
07:10a group of rich kids tried to drag me
07:13into their private dining room
07:14i cried and fought back
07:16until matthew appeared
07:17he was in a sharp suit
07:19his face dark and stern
07:24get out of the way
07:26i just wanted to survive so badly
07:28that i followed closely behind him
07:30but just as we reached the club's entrance
07:33a group of men rushed out with guns
07:35intent on killing him
07:40his arm around my waist
07:42clamped his arm around my waist
07:44and pulled me into his car
07:45after the tires were shot out
07:48after the tires were shot out
07:49matthew took a bullet to the back
07:49matthew took a bullet to the back
07:52reaching the end of the alley
07:53he slumped against the wall
07:55giving me a faint glance
07:59you go first
08:03the elevator opened directly into matthew's office
08:08my eyes stung
08:09and large burning tears rolled down from the corners of my eyes
08:13why did you give my primetime anchor position to elizabeth
08:18matthew looked up
08:19his dark eyes completely unruffled
08:23it's an anchor position
08:26i give it to whoever i want
08:29why would you think it's yours
08:31i clenched my fists
08:33my shoulders trembling uncontrollably
08:38what about the journalist of the year gold award
08:41i risked my life for that
08:43she hasn't reported a single piece of news
08:48so why does she get it
08:50half a year ago
08:51i took the assignment to gaza that no one else wanted
08:54working as a war correspondent for three months
08:57those news reports
08:58delivered at the risk of my life
09:00made macmillan media group's stock price surge
09:04matthew stood up and walked over to me
09:06staring down at me
09:08you're questioning your boss's decision
09:11i could fire you for this
09:16because elizabeth my fiancee
09:18the woman i will spend the rest of my life with
09:22you are nothing but a canary in a golden cage
09:25i keep by my side
09:27something i can throw away whenever i want
09:32didra
09:33you need to learn to be content with what you have
09:40stepping out of matthew's office
09:42i immediately booked a flight back to boston for tonight
09:45i also called my best friend
09:47asking her to book me an appointment to end my pregnancy next week
09:51returning to the television department
09:53i handed in my resignation
09:55the director sighed
09:58dildry
09:59resigning immediately means forfeiting a month's salary
10:02won't you wait a bit longer
10:04i shook my head
10:07i'm not waiting
10:08with true ability
10:11anywhere can be my stage
10:14leaving the station
10:15i took a cab back to the villa in queen and hill
10:19glancing around
10:20a huge amount of jewelry filled to closets
10:23but i didn't want any of it anymore anyway
10:25the only thing i packed in my suitcase
10:28was the christmas music box
10:29he had made for me by hand
10:33as soon as night fell
10:35i grabbed my suitcase
10:36ready to head out
10:38elizabeth showed up at the villa
10:40with two bodyguards behind her
10:42blocking my way with a disdainful smirk
10:44dietra
10:46you're nothing more than a toy
10:48to satisfy his physical needs
10:51before i could finish
10:52she suddenly raised her hand
10:54and slapped me hard across the face
10:56while i stood there stunned
10:58potato darted out of his cat bed
11:00he jumped at elizabeth
11:02and let out to fierce meows
11:05elizabeth furrowed her brows
11:07and delivered a vicious kick to potato
11:09potato was sent flying ten feet away
11:12and blood started to leak from his mouth
11:16my breath hitched
11:17i raised my hand to slap elizabeth
11:19but someone grabbed my wrist from behind
11:23and yanked me into their chest
11:26it was matthew
11:30matthew
11:31please
11:32save potato
11:34matthew glanced at potato on the floor
11:36and gestured to the bodyguard
11:38to take him to the vet
11:39elizabeth's eyes instantly welled with tears
11:43matthew
11:44that cat tried to bite me
11:46i accidentally kicked it
11:49you aren't mad at me are you
11:51matthew reached out to wipe her tear
11:54why would i be mad at you
11:55if a cat misbehaves
11:57it needs to be taught a lesson
11:59but i'm worried you might have hurt your foot
12:05matthew's face turned cold
12:06as he signaled the bodyguard
12:08to escort elizabeth home
12:09i tried to stop elizabeth
12:12but matthew yanked me back into his arms
12:16deidra
12:17didn't i warn you
12:19don't provoke elizabeth
12:20i wanted to argue back
12:22but i saw the blood on the floor
12:25i couldn't utter a single word
12:30matthew glanced at the suitcase on the floor
12:34where are you going this late at night
12:36thanks to elizabeth
12:37my flight back to boston
12:39had already taken off
12:40i gave a faint bitter smile
12:44at eight tonight
12:45you set me up with owen
12:46he let out a mocking laugh
12:49why bring a suitcase to a blind date
12:52do you really think owen would fall for you
12:54who else would want you besides me
12:57i steadied myself and slapped him hard across the face
13:02a dark storm surged in matthew's eyes
13:05throwing me onto the bed like an out of control beast
13:09as long as you're willing to keep staying with me
13:12i won't make you go on that bait
13:14he lowered his head
13:16wanting to kiss me
13:17the phone suddenly rang
13:19it was elizabeth calling
13:21matthew i'm so scared
13:24come keep me company okay
13:25matthew's gaze suddenly locked onto me
13:30diardry just beg me and i'll stay
13:35i pushed matthew away and cursed angrily
13:38matthew you disgust me
13:42get as far away from me as possible
13:44a playful smirk curled the corners of his lips
13:47you said you were going on a blind date
13:49yet you packed the music box i gave you
13:52do you really love me that much
13:53before i could move
13:55he pinched my chin forcing me to look into his dark eyes
13:58he sneered
14:00you think you have a choice
14:02you belong to me at deirdre
14:06every single piece of you
14:08i slapped his hand away
14:09glaring right back at him without flinching
14:12i belong to no one
14:15especially not a coward who treats love
14:18like a cheap game
14:20a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes
14:23and he warned
14:25let me reiterate
14:27elizabeth is the woman i love most
14:33if you're going to be a canary
14:35you need to know your place
14:40i pulled you out of the mud
14:42and i can easily throw you back in
14:44keep provoking me
14:45and i'll make sure you have absolutely nothing left in seattle
14:51i let out a mocking laugh
14:53staring at his arrogant face
14:56don't worry
14:57i'll be at the blind date on time
15:02and you can go back to your precious fiance
15:05without giving me another glance
15:07he got up and slammed the door behind him
15:11the rainstorm battered against the floor-du-ceiling windows
15:15trembling
15:16i suddenly remembered when matthew's mother had come to see me
15:19if you ever threaten his interests
15:22he could even eliminate you with his own hands
15:24the idea of securing status through childbirth won't work
15:28a canary in a gilded cage is different from a first love
15:31who is well matched in social status
15:34at 7 30
15:35a video call from my blind date owen suddenly rang
15:39mrs hayes i'm sorry
15:41there's a hurricane today
15:42so my sailboat can't dock
15:44could we postpone our blind date to tomorrow night
15:51owen i
15:51no are you being ustermite
15:53you got it
15:53it's not you just might go
15:54before i could finish
15:55he cut me off
15:58the signal is bad out here on the water
16:00i'm hanging up
16:03after the video call ended
16:05i opened a travel app and booked a flight back to boston for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
16:10at daybreak
16:12a video of matthew and elizabeth kissing passionately on the sofa hit the trending topics
16:17the last shred of hope in my heart instantly burned to ashes
16:21while i was packing my luggage
16:23someone sent a message in the work group chat
16:26just received a notice
16:28it might snow in seattle this year
16:31i froze
16:32the year of my 19th birthday
16:35when it snows in seattle
16:38we'll get married
16:40okay
16:41he finally nodded
16:43some promises made it too young an age are remembered for a lifetime
16:49at nine o'clock
16:51i hailed a cab and rushed to the airport
16:53but the driver didn't follow the navigation
16:57the taxi drove all the way to the east river pier
17:00i was forcibly dragged
17:02out and hauled in front of a middle-aged man with curly hair
17:06it was richard macmillan
17:08the one who eliminated the other mistress
17:10the man held a gun
17:12you're pregnant with matthew's child
17:15yet you dared to get checked at a hospital in seattle
17:19pitifully stupid
17:20a chill ran down my spine
17:22and i bolted toward the shipping containers
17:25i took out my phone and called matthew
17:32matthew
17:32please save me
17:39elizabeth's smug voice came through the receiver
17:48matthew is in an international meeting
17:51i was the one who told uncle richard about your pregnancy
17:56the bastard in your belly has to die
18:01i screamed into the phone like a drowning woman holding onto a straw
18:08matthew i'm pregnant i'm at the pier
18:10and your uncle is trying to kill me
18:15matthew took the phone
18:17his voice i scold
18:19diadri
18:20is it fun playing me for a fool
18:23we used protection every time
18:25how could you possibly be pregnant
18:27just as i was about to argue
18:29a loud crash erupted behind me
18:31the phone dropped and was kicked into the water
18:34richard flashed a sinister smile
18:36before i could utter another word
18:38he pulled the trigger
18:40and the bullet flew straight toward my chest
18:49the call ended abruptly
18:51matthew was left with a strange tightness in his chest
18:54after his meeting he tried calling me back
18:57but it wouldn't go through
19:05he took his elevator to the television department
19:07just as he reached the entrance
19:10a gasp rang out
19:11major breaking news
19:13there was a fatal shooting at east river pier
19:1510 minutes ago
19:18the web department received a user submitted video of the shooting
19:24even though the footage was blurry
19:26matthew could tell at a glance that it was his uncle richard
19:30and the person his uncle was pointing the gun at
19:33was me
19:34the video was only six seconds long
19:37it wasn't until it looped that matthew finally snapped out of it
19:41he stumbled back to steps hurriedly turned and bolted downstairs
19:45the macmillan family never allowed the existence of illegitimate children
19:50my phone call saying i was pregnant
19:52it was actually true
19:54along the way matthew's hands shook uncontrollably on the steering wheel
19:59nearly crashing several times
20:06by the time he rushed to the pier
20:08the scene had already been cordoned off by the police
20:11he charged forward
20:13grabbed a young officer by the collar
20:15and roared
20:16where is deirdre
20:18the young officer looked troubled
20:20surveillance shows
20:21after taking a bullet to the abdomen she slipped and fell into the water
20:25matthew's mind instantly went blank a frantic terror
20:28spreading from the depths of his heart
20:30he stared at the water
20:32furious and desperate
20:34if you haven't found her
20:35then keep fucking looking
20:37i want her found
20:38dead or alive
20:42matthew was about to dive into the water himself
20:45when elizabeth held him back
20:48matthew there's a hurricane
20:49and the water is freezing
20:50let the rescue team handle it
20:53he shoved her aside and plunged straight in without any gear
21:02twenty minutes later matthew climbed ashore
21:05his eyes were bloodshot slamming a vicious punch into a shipping container
21:11how dare you touch deirdre
21:13how dare you touch deirdre
21:14just because she's pregnant you had to have her killed
21:17his mother victoria arrived with a stiff expression
21:25it was uncle who did it i had no idea
21:28matthew's face turned ice gold
21:30she is the woman i love most
21:32if anything happens to her
21:35i'll end him myself
21:39victoria froze she had never seen her son so frantic
21:43back then her anxious heart settled only after learning he had no intention of marrying me
21:49an hour later they still hadn't found me
21:52matthew ordered viciously
21:56even if we have to drain the ocean we must find her
21:59lock down all of seattle
22:06matthew put on professional diving gear to go back into the water
22:12the butler stopped him
22:15young master a rip current formed here
22:19miss hayes might not have survived
22:22matthew felt a piercing chill and threw a punch at the butler
22:27shut your mouth deirdre is definitely still alive
22:32and my child will be fine too
22:35at night matthew didn't dare rest for a single second
22:39refusing to come ashore even when oxygen tanks ran out
22:42until he finally suffocated from hypoxia and was rushed to the hospital
22:49when he woke up it was three days later elizabeth was ecstatic
22:57matthew you're finally awake matthew's bloodshot eyes looked like a wild beasts
23:04did you really think i was with you because i wanted to marry you
23:07i just had my eyes on your family's pier
23:12now that it belongs to me you're of no value anymore get the hell out
23:17elizabeth froze east river pier was her family's only bargaining chip and she had handed it away
23:25matthew you can't do this to me my dad will kill me matthew stood up and seized her by the
23:31throat
23:31snarling i found out it was you who told richard about the pregnancy you killed my deirdre and our child
23:43if your dad doesn't kill you i'll strangle you myself
23:52victoria rushed in and pulled him off her
23:57after she left matthew wanted to look for me but collapsed weakly before making it out of the room
24:03the next morning the rescue team found my phone at the bottom of the sea and recovered the data
24:08they found to unsent emails in the drafts addressed to matthew his face deathly pale matthew clicked open
24:16the first one with trembling hands five years ago you said you would marry me when it snowed
24:23now that you're marrying someone else it shows up the moment i found out i was pregnant
24:28i was terrified i wanted to surprise you but then i saw your wedding invitation
24:36i hate you so much for letting her hurt our potato i truly can never forgive you for that
24:45i only noticed today that the ring you gave me had our initials engraved on it
24:50you said you would give me endless money the truth is i didn't want any of that
24:57i only wanted you
25:01reading that last sentence a violent pain twisted in matthew's chest
25:06with red tear-filled eyes he clicked open the second email matthew i hate you
25:15last night i dreamed that i gave birth to a daughter she had big eyes but her classmates would whisper
25:24she was a fatherless child they bullied her with cockroaches my daughter ran home crying to me but i was
25:33completely helpless i felt so guilty i've booked an appointment for an abortion i'm sorry
25:41i don't want to use this child as a bargaining chip he was never a bargaining chip i love him
25:49just as
25:50i love you in this relationship did you ever consider being serious goodbye the message was scheduled to
25:59be sent on the exact day of our seven-year anniversary matthew trembled and choked on his sobs crying like
26:06a child
26:08suddenly a violent surge of blood rushed up he coughed up a mouthful of blood and blacked out
26:17after being discharged from the hospital matthew still didn't give up he went to the pier every day
26:23to look for me the stock price plummeted and his father asked him to return to manage the company
26:30he agreed on one condition that very night richard got into a car crash and died on the spot
26:36if no one was watching him matthew would dive into the freezing sea to search for me
26:41then it took days of resuscitation to bring him back he firmly believed i would appear how he wished
26:48he could tell me i was never a calculated choice but a steadfast devotion two months later matthew went
26:55mad the last time he went to the waterfront his mind was completely shattered he began to hallucinate
27:02he heard me matthew i'm leaving remember to feed potato
27:11deal dry let's go together now from now on never be apart again
27:17with those words matthew plunged into the freezing waves to chase my illusion less than 10 minutes
27:24later snowflakes drifted down and seattle turned into a vast expanse of white at the age of 28 i
27:31received an invitation from university of washington back when i fell into the sea owen's sailboat had just
27:38arrived at the shore he rescued me when i woke up three days had already passed the baby was gone
27:46i stayed on that sailboat with owen for half a year he took me to travel across several countries
27:53skydiving from 15 000 feet in new zealand i forgave the old me who had eyes only for matthew
27:59only to end up covered in scars dancing with wild whale sharks i finally learned how to love myself
28:10finally owen's sailboat stopped for me in boston for half an hour i respect all your decisions
28:17i hope you spend the rest of your life loving bravely
28:22i stayed in boston for half a year then changed my name and went to work for nbc
28:27with my outstanding performance i was quickly promoted to news director
28:33returning to seattle after four years everything had changed the next day after attending the
28:40centennial celebration i walked out the gates and found that it was actually snowing
28:45a snowflake landed on the tip of my nose suddenly a deep familiar voice came from behind me
28:52excuse me could you take a picture for me my body stiffened i turned around and met the man's handsome
28:59cold face
29:02it was matthew at 32 his features were even more striking and defined than before i had imagined
29:10countless scenarios of our reunion but never like this he held a professional camera in his hand
29:16his gaze completely calm there was no recognition in his eyes only a polite stranger's distance
29:24the snow looks beautiful today doesn't it he added with a gentle smile
29:29i want to capture this scenery before the blizzard gets any heavier i tried to calm my racing heart and
29:35forced a professional nod of course i replied my voice slightly trembling despite my best efforts
29:44just tell me where you want to stand he pointed to the spot right under the large banyan tree covered
29:49in white snow he said softly right there my wife loves this exact spot
29:58could you take it for me my wife takes a photo at the gates every year she's been away on
30:04a business
30:05troop matthew gave a soft chuckle breaking the silence first
30:11numb and frozen i asked softly your wife yes my wife's name is dear a she's an outstanding graduate
30:20of uw two years ago i heard matthew nearly drowned in the sea while desperately searching for me he was
30:26committed to a psychiatric hospital later he lost his memory my heart ached for a fleeting moment but from
30:34start to finish i never intended to see him again i snapped the photo and handed it back
30:45if you two ever met she would definitely like you matthew lowered his gaze to look at me miss
30:52what is your name he glanced at the name tag on my chest his deep eyes gradually darkening your name

31:23she was just talking to me right here the bodyguard glanced around to find it completely empty
31:29amidst the snow there wasn't even a single footprint mrs hayes is already dead you buried her yourself
31:38i said i'm not sick matthew's face darkened into a humiliated rage beirdra is still alive
31:47and i'm going to find her but outnumbered he was dragged into the car the music box by the gates
