My Baby Says You're The Dad

Short filmTranscript
00:00My baby giggles inside my belly.
00:02Yeah, torture dad just like that.
00:03He had it coming for how he treated you.
00:05True to his word, Ian finally starts his slow, relentless pursuit.
00:08From that moment on, everyone in Drago realized that the so-called ascetic rich air isn't cold at all.
00:13In front of his fiancée, he's basically a loyal puppy.
00:16When are you actually going to marry me?
00:18Ian asks helplessly.
00:20After his 99th failed proposal, in front of me, his patience stretches wide as the ocean.
00:24I think for a moment as I caress my growing belly.
00:27I haven't heard my baby's thoughts in a while.
00:29I know.
00:30He's coming soon.
00:31For the baby's sake and the paperwork later, I glance at Ian.
00:35Say what you just said again.
00:36Ian freezes, then pulls me into a kiss.
00:39I said, will you marry me?
00:42Grow old with me, and be buried side by side?
00:44I finally nod.
00:46I do.
00:47Steven beams with joy, and immediately takes out a gift box.
00:49Inside is an emerald bracelet, an heirloom of the Brit family.
00:52Wear this, harrying my grandchild.
00:55I must have brought you so many hardships.
00:56I want to refuse, but Ian forces it onto my wrist.
00:59Since you're my wife, just keep it.
01:02I can't exactly refuse, in front of everyone, so I accept it reluctantly.
01:06I feel no affection for Ian.
01:08I only see him as my lifesaver.
01:10Things have settled down.
01:11When Ian is done with everything, I've finished packing, and am ready to leave Brit Manor.
01:15Confused, Ian frowns and blocks my path.
01:17What are you doing?
01:19You just accepted my proposal, and now you want to abandon me?
01:22I shake my head.
01:23Mr. Brit.
01:24As you know, this was just a deal from the start.
01:28That one night, was an accident.
01:31You don't love me, and I don't love you.
01:34Let's end it here.
01:36Ian looks surprised, and grips my waist.
01:38Who says I don't love you?
01:39This time, I'm confused.
01:41How could there be love for a one night stand?
01:43But we already have a baby.
01:45That's not the product of love.
01:47Noticing I won't be swayed, Ian realizes my stubborn nature.
01:50I don't care for jewelry, or purses.
01:52That small bit of sincerity I had is gone as well.
01:55Exposed, Aiden tries to run, but Theo claps his hands, and a few burly bodyguards immediately grab him.
02:00How dare you betray me?
02:01You're asking for trouble.
02:02Theo's temper is notorious.
02:04His elite guards easily subdue.
02:06Aiden and Camilla.
02:07Camilla, beaten and coughing blood, glares at me with pure hatred.
02:10Elaine.
02:11You think Ian will marry you, just because?
02:14You're carrying his baby?
02:15He loves Wendy.
02:17You're nothing.
02:19I shrug, keeping a nonchalant expression.
02:21So what?
02:22I never said I have to marry him.
02:24We're all adults here.
02:26Love.
02:27Doesn't really matter.
02:28I was betrayed after 8 years together.
02:30Love isn't essential to me anymore.
02:32My baby is what matters.
02:34Way to go, mom.
02:35That's the spirit.
02:36But why is dad getting so mad?
02:40Perhaps my nonchalant attitude, pricked Ian's pride.
02:43He suddenly comes up to me and hugs me.
02:45Sorry.
02:46To disappoint.
02:48Who says I won't marry her?
02:49Wendy stares at Ian in disbelief.
02:51Ian.
02:52How could you do this to me?
02:54Ian replies calmly.
02:56We broke up a long time ago.
02:58Why did you still go abroad to find me then?
03:01Ian frowns.
03:02Did you misunderstand something?
03:04I just happened to be there on business.
03:08He leans closer and whispers in my ear.
03:09I underestimated you.
03:11I really thought you were nothing but a useless pushover.
03:13Yay.
03:14Mom and dad are finally together.
03:16I can come into the world.
03:18My baby is so excited.
03:20Only Steven stands firmly behind me.
03:22We don't know the result yet.
03:23Nobody here can jump to conclusions about Ms. Buckley.
03:25I crouch to pick up the DNA test report and glance at the smug Camilla and Wendy.
03:29As I open the report, I smile.
03:31You're all in too much of a hurry to actually read it, aren't you?
03:35This DNA test isn't for my baby with Ian.
03:38Camilla, it's for your baby with your husband, Theo Baxter.
03:41It says your baby has no blood relation with Theo.
03:44Camilla's face drains of color.
03:46Her eyes widen in disbelief.
03:47How, how is that possible?
03:49She snatches the report.
03:50When she sees her name paired with Theo's, her face goes ghostly pale.
03:53She doesn't even have a chance to explain before a hard slap sends her sprawling to the floor.
03:57Theo's expression darkens as he yanks her by the hair and asks her sharply,
04:00Who's the guy?
04:01Tell me.
04:02Camilla grits her teeth, refusing to answer.
04:04But when Theo's fist lands on her, she finally breaks under the pain.
04:08Stop it.
04:09I'll tell you.
04:10I'll tell you.
04:11It's A, Aiden.
04:12The room falls into stunned silence.
04:14It turns out Camilla has been involved with Aiden all along and everything I said at the
04:17wedding was the truth.
04:18Aiden steps out from behind Camilla, a smirk plastered across his face.
04:21Elaine, you went to all this trouble to climb the social ladder and used my wedding
04:26to stage a fake DNA test just to hitch a ride with the Brit family.
04:30But karma's fast.
04:32Your tricks got exposed immediately.
04:35As long as we run a real test, the truth will come out.
04:38You're nothing but a complete fraud.
04:41Cheating on me all these years.
04:43You canceled our wedding in front of everyone and even ran a DNA test with another man.
04:47You're really shameless.
04:49The cameras keep flashing.
04:50The reporters broadcast me.
04:52As a woman without limits, mom's eyes brim with disappointment.
04:55She shakes her head over and over.
04:57She's not our daughter.
04:58We've cut ties with her.
05:01Camilla throws the report at my face, grinning like she's won.
05:04See for yourself.
05:06You can't fool us.
05:07I quietly glance at Ian.
05:09He lifts an eyebrow and makes a slicing motion across his neck, threatening me.
05:13The Brit family relatives who had been warm board me immediately switch sides, rallying
05:16behind Wendy.
05:18Damn it.
05:19A fake dares.
05:20Show up in the Brit family, thinking she belongs here?
05:23We wasted time giving her the benefit of the doubt.
05:26Wendy speaks with a gentle tone, yet every sentence carries a sting.
05:29It's completely at odds with her soft demeanor.
05:31After all the foreshadowing, she smiles and asks,
05:33Is the baby in your belly?
05:34Really, Ian's?
05:35So Wendy doesn't believe me.
05:37She's been setting this up all along.
05:38The last DNA test was rushed, and doubts about my baby never fully vanished.
05:43Plenty of people whispered that the report might have been fake.
05:45The baby in my belly seeds.
05:46This scheming woman.
05:47She abandoned dad back then.
05:49Now that he's successful, she wants to reap the rewards.
05:52Let her try testing again.
05:54I'm dad's son and yours.
05:56That's a fact.
05:57I'd like to see what tricks she can pull now.
06:00Just then, Camila steps through the crowd, holding a report.
06:02She points at me, smug as ever.
06:04Elaine?
06:05You're finished.
06:06I've got the DNA test report.
06:08The baby in your belly has no blood relation to Mr. Britt whatsoever.
06:11I haven't even reacted yet.
06:12When my baby erupts in a furious roar.
06:14That's impossible.
06:15I know for sure who my dad is.
06:16I heard she was the Buckley family's eldest daughter, who played both sides.
06:20She got pregnant with Mr. Britt's baby at Mr. Miller's wedding.
06:23She called off her wedding on the spot, and even had a DNA test done with Mr. Britt.
06:27What a move.
06:28Gosh.
06:29She used such dirty tricks, and actually got into the Britt family.
06:32And now she shows up at Miss Lane's welcoming party?
06:35The nerve.
06:37Everyone knows, Miss Lane is Mr. Britt's only love.
06:41If she's carrying his child, she's clearly the other woman.
06:45Holding a glass of water, I listen to the gossip without flinching.
06:48Miss Buckley.
06:49Wendy calls out to me at the center of the hall.
06:52She grabs my hand and leads me forward.
06:53Ian stands there with a calm expression, his gaze on me faintly displeased.
06:58Hello everyone.
06:58I haven't been back for a long time, and just after arriving, I heard about Miss Buckley.
07:03My health isn't great, and she got pregnant with Ian's child.
07:07It's actually good news.
07:08Many women have tried to get close to Ian over the years, but he's always kept himself pure for me.
07:14Only Miss Buckley managed to rise through the ranks thanks to the baby.
07:17But Miss Buckley, before I went abroad, I'd heard that you had been pursuing Aiden passionately.
07:21I can't help but wonder why you suddenly shift your sights to Ian.
07:24Wendy carries herself like she's the lady of the house.
07:26Her every word puts me in the role of the other woman, but Steven shoots her a sharp look.
07:30No outsider can decide who becomes my daughter-in-law.
07:33Go back and prepare for tonight's welcoming party.
07:36You ran off overseas, stubbornly, leaving Ian behind.
07:39And now you're suddenly back, huh?
07:40Wendy's face turns pale.
07:42Ian pats her shoulder to comfort her.
07:43Slowly, her expression softens.
07:45When Camilla passes by me, she sneers.
07:47Elaine, tonight at the party, I'll make sure you're wiped out of Drago.
07:50I calmly reply, okay, let's see who gets wiped out first, you or me.
07:55Camilla didn't expect me to talk back.
07:57She glares at me, before leaving with Wendy triumphantly.
08:00Mom, be careful.
08:01Camilla will team up with Wendy tonight.
08:03They'll try to redo the DNA test and slander you.
08:05Tell dad to come up with a plan.
08:08Smiling, I pat my belly and reassure the baby, don't worry.
08:12Even without your dad, I can handle this.
08:16Because of my unique status, only Steven treats me well, like a true daughter-in-law, keeping me by his
08:21side.
08:22Guests come and go.
08:23Their eyes, all fixed on me with strange curiosity.
08:26I fall silent for a moment.
08:28I remember my baby saying Wendy is returning today.
08:30Wendy and Camilla are good friends.
08:31She won't miss a chance to come after me.
08:33When I see a line of luxury cars outside, I turn to Ian and say,
08:37Well, the opportunity just showed up.
08:40The gates of Britt Manor open.
08:41A graceful woman stands outside, her eyes soft but sharp.
08:45Ian steps forward.
08:46And I know at once that she's Wendy.
08:48The woman he's loved for years must be exceptional.
08:51Wendy is really gentle and refined.
08:53She hooks her arm through Ian's affectionately.
08:54Ian, it's been so long.
08:56She doesn't even glance at me.
08:58Instead, Camilla, trailing behind her, shoots me a provocative look.
09:01Well, well, Elaine, so this is where you ran off to?
09:04You used tricks to get pregnant with Mr. Britt's child.
09:06But why hasn't he announced that he's marrying you?
09:09Only then does Wendy seem to notice me.
09:11She looks at Ian with a fragile expression.
09:12Ian?
09:14This is...
09:14Ian answers plainly.
09:16She's the mother of my child.
09:17Wendy freezes for a second.
09:19A few tears fall, as if she's been hurt.
09:21Then, she walks over and takes my hand.
09:23Since you're pregnant, you should take good care of yourself.
09:26Even if Ian can't marry you.
09:28The Britt family is a big household.
09:30I won't drive you away.
09:32Ian is my only way out.
09:33This rich heir has forces from both sides of the law and the Britt family's power blankets, Drago.
09:38Ever since Ian became the successor, he has single-handedly secured control of the entire family.
09:43He basically leads Drago's elite circle, and everyone treats him with respect.
09:46But Ian is a hopeless romantic.
09:48Ever since his childhood sweetheart, Wendy went abroad to study.
09:50He has shut himself off emotionally and refuses to let any woman get close.
09:54However, Stephen is nearly 100 years old and desperate for Ian to settle down.
09:57So, he can hold a grandchild and enjoy family life.
10:00Ian, who keeps his distance from women, naturally wants nothing to do with anyone else.
10:03So he made a desperate decision to go abroad to win Wendy back.
10:05But before he could leave, he ran into me at the wedding.
10:07And suddenly, there's a baby in the picture.
10:09Under Stephen's pressure, Ian cancels his trip and stays at Britt Manor with me.
10:13But I feel the pressure mounting.
10:15He keeps a cold expression all day, pacing around like a supervisor watching a prisoner.
10:19Mom?
10:19Wendy is coming today.
10:21Brace yourself.
10:22I barely react to my baby's warning.
10:25After all, everyone knows how lethal a first love can be.
10:27I never expect Ian to fall for me anyway.
10:29But after seeing the trending list, I start to panic.
10:32Every hashtag is about my behavior.
10:34At the wedding, it looks absurd from any angle.
10:36The internet tears me apart.
10:37Reporters and gossip seekers camp outside Britt Manor every day, waiting for me to show my face.
10:42Even the Britt's daily movements are affected.
10:44Ian eats fruit beside me, casually.
10:46Watching the crowd outside.
10:48Clean up your own mess.
10:50The Britt family doesn't support freeloaders.
10:52Camila's quiet manipulations in her innocent act gradually won over mom and dad.
10:56Even Aiden, whom I'd secretly admired for years, started showing real interest in her.
11:00After just a few interactions, they praised her endlessly in front of me,
11:04saying how thoughtful, considerate, and perfect she was.
11:06Gradually, my reputation in social circles plummeted.
11:08Rumors spread that I was shamelessly clinging to Aiden.
11:11Every small thing I did was twisted.
11:12For instance, I knitted Aiden a scarf in winter.
11:15And people claimed I ignored my sick mother, just to do crafts for him.
11:18I gave him an auctioned watch, worth tens of thousands of dollars.
11:22But the gossip said,
11:24I spent millions on it.
11:26And the money came from the Buckley family's account.
11:29These lies came from nowhere,
11:31turning my image from a refined young lady into a shameless, obsessive simp.
11:35I kept a polite front toward Camila.
11:37And when Aiden suddenly proposed, I had even less energy to notice her scheme.
11:41I never imagined she was secretly conspiring with him.
11:43If I hadn't heard my baby's voice, at the wedding,
11:46I would have walked into the Miller family as a pawn, waiting to be torn apart.
11:49The Miller family is far more powerful than my family.
11:51Mom and dad will never offend them because of me.
11:53This actor, continue acting.
11:55You have no idea, how dad has been, replaying that night in his head.
11:59He's a top tier, hopeless romantic.
12:01Mom, you don't even need to do anything.
12:03He'll convince himself to fall for you.
12:05I close my eyes, and take three seconds to process the baby's words,
12:08before replying to Ian.
12:10I'm not trying to enter the Brit family.
12:11I just want to safely have the baby, and watch him grow up healthy.
12:15Ian doesn't respond, but my baby pipes up again.
12:18Dad's interest meter is rising.
12:20He's pleased with your answer.
12:22Falling in love with you is only a matter of time.
12:24If I'm trapped now, and surrounded on all sides,
12:27the only person who can save me is Ian.
12:29Though I was born into the Buckley family, we're a minor clan.
12:32Our claim to fame is that we're a scholarly, cultured family.
12:35From a young age, I was trained as a proper young lady,
12:37and admired in high society.
12:39Everything changed at 18, when Camila arrived.
12:41She's my distant relative's daughter.
12:42After her parents died unexpectedly,
12:44mom and dad took her in as an adopted daughter.
12:45At first, she seemed timid, and I naturally reached out to be friendly.
12:48I never imagined that under her docile exterior,
12:50lay a calculating mind.
12:51Ian carries me, his eyes scanning the guests who just mocked me,
12:54with a sharp and unyielding gaze.
12:56From now on, Miss Buckley is part of the Brit family.
12:59If I hear another word of gossip about her,
13:02don't blame me for being ruthless.
13:03With that, he strides out of the banquet hall.
13:05Through him, I see Camila's and Aiden's faces.
13:08Their eyes glare at me viciously, as if they won't let this slide.
13:11Ian seats me quietly in the car, then slides in beside me.
13:14The weight of his presence hits me.
13:15This is a man who carved his territory, threw blood in Drago.
13:19And being the eldest son of the Brit family,
13:21he was untouchable in status and influence.
13:23By all rights, someone like me shouldn't even be near him.
13:25Ian closes his eyes for a moment, then picks up his phone,
13:28cancel my flight, and bring Wendy back.
13:31Mom, your biggest rival, Wendy Lane, is about to appear.
13:35She's dad's only first love, and she's far more scheming than Camila.
13:40But don't worry, whether it's Camila or Wendy,
13:43dad and I will back you all the way.
13:45I press a hand to my belly and smile bitterly.
13:47Though my baby is hopeful, I feel none of it.
13:50I almost married another man.
13:52How could I ever catch the eye of the ascetic rich heir?
13:54I escaped Aiden to enter the Brit family.
13:56Who knows if I've just stepped into an even deeper trap.
13:58Ian studies me with narrowed eyes.
14:00His suspicion of me has never faded.
14:02Miss Buckley,
14:03even though you're carrying my baby,
14:06I won't marry you.
14:07He sneered.
14:08I don't care what tricks you use to get pregnant.
14:11Or how long you've been.
14:12Setting this whole act up.
14:14But entering the Brit family isn't going to be that easy.
14:17When Camila's words sink in,
14:18the guests finally realize that I'm carrying Ian's baby.
14:21While marrying Aiden.
14:22It's way too outrageous.
14:23Immediately, the guests verbally attack me.
14:25Yeah, this woman first latched onto Mr. Miller,
14:27then secretly schemed to sleep with Mr. Brit.
14:29How could someone like her enter the Brit family?
14:32Unfaithful bitch.
14:32And she chose this day to announce the father of her baby.
14:35The Buckley family should have thrown her out already.
14:37She thinks she can leverage her baby for status?
14:39I think the Brit family will never forgive her.
14:42They won't let her stay in Drago anymore.
14:44She's immoral and shameless.
14:46Publicly announcing her affair?
14:47That's just disgusting.
14:49The jeers grow louder.
14:50Too embarrassed?
14:51Dad shouts.
14:53I have no daughter like you.
14:55Get out.
14:56Camila is the only true daughter of this family.
14:59Aiden stays silent.
15:01Watching me get scolded.
15:02Suddenly, a cane thunders against the floor.
15:05Stephen's commanding voice rings out.
15:07Enough.
15:07Who do you think you are?
15:09Helping a prestigious family bully a woman?
15:11As long as Miss Buckley is carrying our Brit family blood.
15:14She's my daughter-in-law.
15:16Harry, bring Miss Buckley to the car.
15:18We're going home.
15:19Harry White, the butler, nods and reaches out to help me.
15:22I'm exhausted from stress and pregnancy.
15:24After a few steps, I stumble forward.
15:26Just as I'm about to fall, a pair of hands scoops me up, holding me close.
15:31Ian's expression is calm.
15:32I may not acknowledge you, but you're carrying my baby, and you've been mine.
15:38I won't let anyone hurt you.
15:40The hall falls silent for a heartbeat, then erupts into a heated discussion.
15:43Everyone stares at me in disbelief.
15:45How could a woman from such a small family be carrying a child of the Brit family?
15:50Ian's prayer beads snap suddenly.
15:52Black pearls scatter across the floor.
15:54Frowning, he murmurs under his breath,
15:56I don't even know this woman.
15:57How could this be?
15:58The DNA report and the mention of his birthmark prove that the bride standing before him is his woman.
16:03Memories from three months ago come flooding back.
16:05That night, he was drugged after being seriously injured.
16:07In the end, he collapsed in a hotel room.
16:09In a haze of desire, he lost control.
16:12When he woke up, he thought it was just a dream.
16:14He didn't expect it to be real.
16:15Elaine, you really have no shame.
16:17Camila jumps in again when she first hears that the baby in my belly is Ian's.
16:21Her mask slips for a moment, revealing pure jealousy.
16:23But noticing that Ian doesn't acknowledge me at all, she quickly regains her smugness.
16:27You cheated behind Aiden's back and even crawled onto Mr. Brit's bed?
16:31You're far too calculating.
16:33You played us off for fools and dragged our family's reputation through the mud.
16:36To think a virtuous family like ours produced such a promiscuous woman like you.
16:40I'm battered and weak from the blood draw.
16:42The baby's comfort is the only thing, keeping me going while I wait for the result.
16:45The guests stare at me with judgmental gazes, all expecting Ian to tear me apart.
16:50No one believes that Ian, who stays away from women, could have a child.
16:53I know too that if the baby isn't his, I'm in for a total disaster.
16:57Finally, hurried footsteps echo from outside.
16:59Ian's assistant rushes in, holding a report.
17:02He whispers urgently into Ian's ear.
17:04Ian's usual cold expression gives way to sheer shock.
17:06Meanwhile, Stephen taps his cane impatiently on the floor.
17:09Don't just whisper into his ears.
17:10Is this my grandchild or not?
17:12Tell me.
17:13Camila covers her mouth, smirking.
17:15It's obvious.
17:16No way that baby is a Brit.
17:19Elaine's lying.
17:20The assistant wipes the sweat from his brow and announces loudly,
17:22The baby in Miss Buckley's womb shares a 99.99% genetic match with Mr. Brit.
17:28Ian's gaze darkens.
17:29And then he nods once, giving me a chance.
17:32Fine.
17:33Let's do the DNA test.
17:35I'll make sure you die knowing the truth.
17:36Mom, you're amazing.
17:37I finally get to see Dad, getting slapped in the face.
17:41Ha ha ha.
17:42Don't worry, Mom.
17:43I'll teach you how to handle him.
17:45Once he falls for you, you'll have a loyal, clingy puppy.
17:49Soon, the chaos from the wedding spreads like wildfire.
17:51Ian's father, Stephen Britt, gets the news and rushes to the scene.
17:54Seeing me having blood drawn by a private doctor, he can't hide the joy in his face.
17:58This is great.
17:59I actually get to hold my grandchild before I die.
18:01Ian smirks coldly.
18:02Let's see how she walks out of here.
18:04Once the truth comes out, I close my eyes, letting the blood flow.
18:09Mom and Dad hover nearby.
18:11Terrified, I'll drag the Buckley family down.
18:13Aiden's face looks as black as night.
18:15His fiancé is having a DNA test for another man's child at his wedding.
18:18Even if the man is Ian, it's a humiliation he can't swallow.
18:21Mom, luckily you didn't marry Aiden.
18:24He's scheming how to make your life miserable after this wedding.
18:26Oh God, the blood draw is painful.
18:29But I'll put up with it.
18:30For Mom's happiness.
18:31After I say that, Ian freezes for a fraction of a second.
18:34His expression remains calm, but his eyes reveal his shock.
18:37His red-colored birthmark is far below his waist.
18:39It's extremely private.
18:40Only someone very close to him knows about it.
18:42The other guests exchange confused glances, clearly not understanding what I mean.
18:45Camila, quick on her feet, interrupt.
18:47Elaine, everyone has birthmarks.
18:49How can you use something so meaningless as proof that Mr. Britt is the father?
18:53There, countless women have tried similar tricks.
18:56Over the years, if you really want to prove the baby's his, why not just do a DNA test?
19:02Camila smirks, completely unconvinced that I could have anything with Ian.
19:05After all, a low-profile Buckley daughter like me could never be linked to one of the
19:09most powerful men in Drago.
19:10It took Aiden a lot of effort, connections, and money just to get Ian to show up at this
19:15wedding.
19:15The crowd starts echoing.
19:16Yeah, do a DNA test and give this woman a slap in the face.
19:20Who does she think she is, trying to attach herself to Mr. Britt, and openly claiming
19:25at her wedding, that her baby is his?
19:28How shameless.
19:30Wasn't she so bold?
19:32Let's run the test.
19:33Expose her ugly lies, and make it impossible for her to stay in Drago.
19:37The soft clack of Ian's prayer beads fills the hall, each sounds sharp and chilling.
19:41It's a warning that his anger is building.
19:42Aiden presses my head down, forcing me to kneel on the floor, while apologizing.
19:46I'm sorry, Mr. Britt.
19:48She's not in her right mind.
19:49Please forgive her this once.
19:51Go on, apologize to Mr. Britt.
19:53Hurry up.
19:53Noticing that Aiden doesn't care at all.
19:55When I say the child isn't his, I realize he knows perfectly well that the baby in my
19:58belly isn't his.
19:59He just wants to control me, so he can openly have an affair with Camila later.
20:03Mom, don't worry.
20:04Once there's proof that I'm dad's, he won't ignore us.
20:08With the Britt family backing us, anyone who's bullied you will pay for it.
20:12Proof?
20:13I laugh bitterly.
20:14I don't have any proof.
20:15I barely know Ian.
20:17Mom lunges forward and slaps me hard across the face twice.
20:20She yells, apologize to Mr. Britt now.
20:22Are you trying to ruin our family?
20:25Ian looks down at me.
20:26I feel small, like a helpless insect.
20:28That night of passion seems like a fading illusion.
20:30Suddenly, a thought strikes me.
20:32I raise my head and say calmly, Mr. Britt, I saw your red-colored birthmark.
20:37Ian suddenly stops.
20:38The air goes eerily still.
20:40All the guests in the banquet hall turn to look at me.
20:42Not with mockery this time, but like I've lost my mind.
20:45Camila didn't expect me to drag Ian into this.
20:47She grins and leans close to whisper,
20:50Elaine, even if you wanted to aim high, you picked the wrong target.
20:54Ian's not someone you can just latch on to.
20:57She's right.
20:58Everyone knows Ian avoids women and hates contact with them.
21:01The prayer beads around his wrist are proof of his vow to cut off attachments.
21:04The last woman who approached him with ill intentions ended up with her hands and feet broken.
21:07Is she looking to die?
21:10I thought she was just being shameless, but it turns out she's crazy.
21:13Anyone who messes with Mr. Britt doesn't end well.
21:16Everyone holds their breath, waiting for Ian to snap.
21:19And sure enough, when he turns around, his lips are pressed tight and his expression is icy.
21:23His cold eyes stare at me as if I'm dead.
21:25He rolls the beads between his fingers, murmuring,
21:27Huh, my baby?
21:29Miss Buckley, you've got some guts.
21:31No one in all of Drago has had the nerve to come to me with a pregnant belly,
21:36claiming I'm the father.
21:37I've heard your reputation.
21:38Have you sunk so low as to name another man?
21:41The father of your baby at your wedding?
21:43Take me with you.
21:45Please.
21:46Ian's face is hard to make out in the backlight.
21:48The next second, he shoves me hard.
21:50He brushes off his suit, as if he had touched something filthy,
21:52and looks at me with disgust.
21:54Get lost.
21:54Don't you know I don't touch women?
21:56Such an actor.
21:57Don't believe him.
21:58He's just putting on a knack.
22:00When he falls for you, he'll be all clingy like a puppy.
22:03Ian turns to leave again, but I grab onto his pant leg, refusing to let him go.
22:07Footsteps thunder behind me.
22:08Aiden and the bodyguards rush forward and clamp onto me.
22:11Mom and dad watch.
22:12Ian's dark expression in fear.
22:13I'm sorry, Mr. Britt.
22:15My daughter is not in her right mind.
22:16Please forgive her.
22:18We'll pay you.
22:19A personal visit to apologize soon.
22:21Aiden chimes in, looking humble.
22:23Mr. Britt.
22:24I failed to keep an eye on my girlfriend.
22:25I'll teach her a lesson when we get back.
22:27Please forgive us.
22:28Meanwhile, Camila stares at Ian in a daze.
22:31This is the man nearly every woman in Drago is obsessed with.
22:33Ian doesn't answer.
22:34He just looks down at my hand, gripping his pant leg.
22:36Camila glances at me too.
22:37She lifts her heel and stomps hard on the back of my hand.
22:40Elaine, how dare you offend Mr. Britt.
22:42Let go.
22:43I scream in pain.
22:44Ian seizes the moment to pull his leg free and strides away coldly.
22:47His broad back is about to disappear from view.
22:50Panicked, I shout after him.
22:51Ian, the baby in my belly is yours.
22:54Everyone looks at me with mockery and amusement.
22:57No one respects my choice.
22:58For the first time, I snap awake, as if doused with cold water.
23:01I realize how bad my situation is.
23:02Camila and Aiden have been using me as a pawn for their own gain.
23:05Once the ceremony is over, Aiden will find an excuse.
23:07He'll lock you in the basement.
23:09The black cars are all waiting at the doors.
23:11The moment you step out, you'll be taken away.
23:14Mom, go to my real dad for help.
23:16Right, Ian.
23:17I look toward Ian, but he's already standing and walking out with his assistant.
23:22Oh no, dad's about to fly off chasing his lost love.
23:25Ian's my last lifeline.
23:27Desperate, I bite down hard on Aiden's hand.
23:30He yelps in pain and releases me.
23:32I spin around and dash toward Ian.
23:34A bodyguard rushes to stop me, but I crash into the nearest table, sending the stack of
23:37wine glasses flying.
23:38My long dress whips through the chaotic crowd.
23:41Guests scream.
23:43As chaos erupts, but I don't care.
23:45I hitch up my wedding dress and head straight for Ian.
23:47His assistant hasn't even reacted yet.
23:49Ian turns at the sound, and I crash straight into his arms.
23:52The soft clack of Ian's prayer beads fills the hall.
23:54Each sounds sharp and chilling.
23:56It's a warning that his anger is building.
23:57Aiden presses my head down, forcing me to kneel on the floor while apologizing.
24:01I'm sorry, Mr. Britt.
24:03She's not in her right mind.
24:04Please forgive her this once.
24:06Go on.
24:06Apologize to Mr. Britt.
24:08Hurry up.
24:08Noticing that Aiden doesn't care at all.
24:10When I say the child isn't his, I realize he knows perfectly well that the baby in my belly
24:13isn't his.
24:14He just wants to control me, so he can openly have an affair with Camilla later.
24:17Mom, don't worry.
24:19Once there's proof that I'm dad's, he won't ignore us.
24:23With the Britt family backing us, anyone who's bullied you will pay for it.
24:27Proof?
24:28I laugh bitterly.
24:29I don't have any proof.
24:30I barely know Ian.
24:32Mom lunges forward and slaps me hard across the face twice.
24:35She yells,
24:35Apologize to Mr. Britt now.
24:37Are you trying to ruin our family?
24:39Ian looks down at me.
24:41I feel small, like a helpless insect.
24:43That night of passion seems like a fading illusion.
24:45Suddenly, a thought strikes me.
24:47I raise my head and say calmly,
24:49Mr. Britt, I saw your red-colored birthmark.
24:57The whispers reach my ears, and I realize just how bad my reputation in Drago has become.
25:02But I used to be the sensible and clever heiress of the Buckley family.
25:05Ever since Camilla came into the house, my standing has been sinking,
25:08and even mom, dad, and Aiden have started treating me differently.
25:12Aiden grabs my hand.
25:13Ignoring my words, he announces to everyone,
25:15Elaine's just a little upset.
25:17Please bear with her.
25:18She's agreed to marry me, and I'm happy to make her my wife.
25:21I catch Camilla clenching her fists.
25:23I take a deep breath, shake off Aiden's hand, and say firmly,
25:27I'm not marrying you.
25:28I know everything.
25:30About you and Camilla.
25:32The baby in her belly.
25:33He is yours, isn't it?
25:35The words hit like thunder, detonating through the banquet hall.
25:39Way to go, mom.
25:40Time to expose.
25:42Those two hypocrite.
25:43Camilla.
25:44Camilla.
25:44Has been spreading dirt about you.
25:46Your ruined reputation.
25:48Is all thanks to her.
25:49The baby in my belly screams with glee, stirring up chaos like it's his mission.
25:53Camilla steps onto the stage with her pregnant belly, and stands beside Aiden.
25:57Elaine.
25:58What are you throwing a fit about now?
26:00Aiden already agreed to marry you.
26:02When she comes closer, I notice the diamond ring on her hand.
26:05It's exactly the same style as my wedding ring.
26:07Mine looks like cheap plastic in comparison.
26:10In that instant, everything clicked.
26:11The baby in my belly is part of a scheme she and Aiden have been planning all along.
26:15She's just an adopted daughter, with no right to marry into the Miller family.
26:18I'm nothing more than a tool to make the union happen for her.
26:21Dad stands up and reprimands me.
26:23Elaine, have you not embarrassed us enough?
26:25This marriage isn't something you can just call off.
26:27You begged and screamed to marry Aiden before?
26:30And now you back out in front of everyone?
26:32Marriage isn't a game.
26:34Can't you act half as sensible as Camilla?
26:36No matter what, you will marry Aiden today.
26:38The wedding has turned into a farce.
26:40Guests whisper among themselves, eager for the spectacle.
26:43Mr. Buckley's real daughter is truly hopeless.
26:45She used to pursue Mr. Miller recklessly.
26:49Now that she has him, she wants to back out?
26:51Everyone's waiting to see her get kicked out.
26:53The adopted daughter is much more sensible and clever.
26:56She married a rich guy, and is living comfortably.
26:58Mr. Buckley is so unlucky to have such a worthless biological daughter.
27:03I'm marrying my longtime boyfriend because I'm pregnant.
27:05At the wedding, the officiant asks if I'm willing to marry Aiden Miller.
27:08I'm just about to say yes, when a childlike voice appears out of nowhere.
27:12Mom, don't say yes.
27:13Aiden isn't my dad.
27:14The baby in your sister, Camilla Buckley's belly, is his.
27:17My brain completely crashes at those words.
27:19Everyone is waiting for my answer, but I freeze.
27:21Please, the baby I'm carrying, isn't Aiden's?
27:26Then whose is it?
27:27The next second, the little voice speaks again.
27:29Silly mom, that jerk has been cheating for a long time.
27:32If you marry him, he'll lock you in a basement.
27:35Go ask my real dad for help.
27:37He's the hottest and richest man sitting down there.
27:39I'm shaken.
27:40I can't help but glance at Ian Britt, the ascetic rich air sitting below the stage.
27:43Today is supposed to be my wedding with Aiden, yet people keep drifting toward him with their
27:47eyes.
27:48His looks and presence stand out too much.
27:49I glance at him and unexpectedly meet his cold gaze.
27:52I quickly look away, my heart pounding.
27:54Baby, do you even know who he is?
27:57He's the one and only CEO of Brittcorp.
28:00He's never had any woman.
28:01How could you be his kid?
28:03Even if Aiden is poor, you can't just make things up and deny your dad.
28:08Baby, be realistic.
28:10It's too late to switch fathers at the wedding.
28:13Try again in your next life.
28:14I comfort the baby.
28:15I assume he doesn't accept Aiden as his father, because the ladder is broke.
28:19But the little voice screams.
28:20Did you forget?
28:21That night you woke up in a hotel?
28:23Aiden and Camilla tricked you there.
28:26And tried to offer you to a client, but you walked into the wrong room.
28:29The man beside you that night was Ian.
28:32I'm stunned.
28:34That man was Ian?
28:35I thought it was Aiden.
28:37Memories rush back.
28:38Late at night, Red Marks trickled.
28:40Traced a bare back as two bodies tangled.
28:41Aiden is still looking at me gently.
28:43But what fills my mind now is Ian's sweat and stifled gasps from that night.
28:46He pinned my hands above my head as he demanded more.
28:48The untouchable aesthetic rich air turns out to be anything but restrained and private.
28:51Noticing I don't respond.
28:52The officiant repeats.
28:54Miss Elaine Buckley.
28:54Do you take Mr. Aiden Miller to be your lawfully wedded husband?
28:57Aiden squeezes my hand, concern flickering in his eyes.
29:00What's wrong Elaine?
29:01Are you still not ready?
29:02He rubs my palm gently to reassure me.
29:05Don't be afraid.
29:06Once you marry me, I'll give you everything I have to love you.
29:10Don't believe him.
29:11He bought a villa right next to your marital home.
29:14To raise his kid with Camilla.
29:16I jolt.
29:17And shout.
29:18No I do not.
29:19The moment I say that, gasps ripple through the room.
29:22The Miller family is well known in Drago.
29:24No one expects me to reject Aiden in public.
29:27Especially since I went all out pursuing him back then.
29:30Acting like a total simp without any shame.
29:32Everyone says the Buckley family's eldest daughter is promiscuous.
29:35Now that I'm finally settling down, I'm throwing away.
29:37A perfect marriage handed to me.
29:38Aiden's expression darkens.
29:40He clearly didn't expect this.
29:42Elaine, stop messing around.
29:44This is our wedding.
29:46If you're upset with me, we can talk after it's over.
29:50If you wait, it'll be too late.
29:52My real dad is about to go overseas to chase his first love.
29:55Mom, I'm running out.
29:57Dump this jerk.
29:59And go get my rich handsome dad back.
30:01I'm not getting married.
30:03I reply firmly.
30:04My son wouldn't lie to me.
30:05If he says Aiden is a jerk, then this wedding cannot happen.
30:08I'm not getting married.
30:08I'm getting married.
30:08I'm getting married.
