00:00Chloé's baby needs a father on paper.
00:03Once we divorce, I'll marry you.
00:05Everyone thought I'd swallow my pride and wait another month.
00:08After all, I'd already waited 7 years.
00:11But that night, I left the country for an arranged marriage.
00:14I vanished from his world completely.
00:16Three years later, my husband and I flew back stateside for a family memorial.
00:20My husband had a last minute work emergency.
00:22So he told his local branch to send a car for me.
00:25I walked out of the airport.
00:27And froze.
00:28My driver was Seth.
00:29My ex-fiance.
00:31Yo, Seth, isn't that your obsessed ex?
00:33Isn't that Vanessa?
00:34See, I told you guys.
00:36I knew she'd come crawling back.
00:39Vanessa vanished without a trace.
00:40Now she sees Seth is loaded.
00:42She probably cries herself to sleep every night.
00:44Vanessa, if you're going to fake a random run-in, why show up in sweatpants?
00:49Couldn't you at least put on some makeup?
00:52Without Seth, you can't even buy a nice outfit.
00:55You look pathetic.
00:56It was true.
00:57I used to spend hours getting ready for Seth.
01:00Full face of makeup.
01:01Tight designer dresses.
01:03Always making sure I looked absolutely perfect for him.
01:06But I didn't need to do that anymore.
01:08Because I'm pregnant.
01:09And my husband refused to let me be uncomfortable.
01:12He banned heavy makeup.
01:14And had this cheap loungewear custom tailored for me in Paris.
01:17Listening to them mock me, it suddenly clicked.
01:20They only read the name on the corporate dispatch.
01:22They had no idea the VIP they were picking up.
01:25Was me.
01:26Since I wasn't saying anything.
01:27Vanessa, it's good you're back.
01:29Seth actually spent years looking for you.
01:31He asked about you everywhere.
01:38Chloe's kid starts preschool next week.
01:40From now on, you're in charge of the drop-off.
01:43He was still so incredibly arrogant.
01:45But I wasn't that naive little girl anymore.
01:47I didn't want to waste another second on them.
01:49I was just about to tell them exactly who I was.
01:52I am.
01:53Vanessa, please don't be mad at Seth.
01:55He's just trying to take care of you.
01:57You disappeared for three years.
01:58Who knows what kind of shady stuff you had to do to survive.
02:01Look at how run down you are.
02:03Seth wanted to make you my personal secretary.
02:06But clearly you can't handle that.
02:08Don't worry.
02:09Being my Nerny is a respectable job.
02:12No one will look down on you.
02:14Seth saw my scowl.
02:15And thought I was just jealous.
02:17Alright, Vanessa.
02:18Drop the attitude.
02:19You clearly can't survive out there.
02:22So stop throwing tantrums.
02:23Take care of the kid and learn your place.
02:26Don't worry.
02:27My mansion has a perfectly good nursery room in the basement.
02:30Damn, Vanessa.
02:32Look how good Seth is to you.
02:34He's giving you free room and board.
02:37Isn't babysitting better than whatever trashy life you're living now?
02:40Hurry up and say thank you.
02:42Don't you worry, dear.
02:43If my son acts up, I'll make sure to set him straight for you.
02:47I won't let you be mistreated.
02:49Why would she be mistreated?
02:51She ran away over a tiny little misunderstanding.
02:53If she hit rock bottom out there, she deserves to suffer a little.
02:57Hearing that, my heart actually skipped a beat.
03:00After three years, he still fought ditching me at the county clerk's office for Chloe.
03:04Was just a tiny little misunderstanding.
03:06The Seth who used to love me was truly dead.
03:09He wasn't the boy who carried me across town, ignoring his own bleeding cuts.
03:13But whatever.
03:14It was all in the past.
03:16None of it mattered anymore.
03:17Besides, I'm about to give birth to my second baby anyway.
03:23Aren't you here to pick me up?
03:25Let's go.
03:30Pick you up?
03:31Don't make me laugh.
03:32Read it carefully.
03:34We are waiting for Mrs. Vance.
03:36Do you even know who that is?
03:38Mrs. Vance is the matriarch of the Vance family.
03:41She is the actual wife of Grayson Vance.
03:43Grayson Vance is a ruthless billionaire.
03:45But he's completely obsessed with his wife.
03:48Rumor has it, he stayed single for years.
03:50Just waiting for her.
03:52Everyone in the industry knows the rule.
03:54Don't try to kiss up to Grayson.
03:56Kiss up to Mrs. Vance.
03:57She is his entire world.
03:59Listening to them gossip about my marriage.
04:02I couldn't help it.
04:03A genuine, happy smile spread across my face.
04:06We had been married for three years.
04:08Grayson's empire had only gotten bigger.
04:11And his reputation as a fiercely devoted husband had spread everywhere.
04:14To win his wife's heart.
04:16Grayson Vance bought a custom diamond bracelet at Christie's.
04:19It's called Eternal Heart.
04:22It cost $20 million.
04:25Mrs. Vance is literally the most envied woman on earth.
04:30That's the exact same bracelet.
04:39It's a pretty good fake.
04:41Which broke delivery guy bought this for you?
04:44Buying you a cheap knockoff.
04:45Absolute trash.
04:50Wow.
04:51It really is a high quality fake.
04:53Way better than the replica I bought.
04:55But I'd never actually wear mine in public.
04:57It's so embarrassing.
04:58These overseas knockups hit different.
05:01The weight actually feels real.
05:05Or what, Vanessa?
05:07Are you going to tell us you're the real Mrs. Vance?
05:10Are you the legendary billionaire's wife?
05:16Vanessa, just sell this fake to me.
05:19I'll pay you double what your broke boyfriend paid.
05:22Give that back right now.
05:23Grayson gave that to me.
05:25Shut your mouth.
05:35Vanessa, do you have a death wish?
05:38You think you can just casually drop Mr. Vance's name?
05:41Are you trying to get me killed?
05:42Do you have any idea how hard we fought for this airport pickup?
05:46Grayson Vance bought out Seth's company last year.
05:48Our entire livelihoods depend on him now.
05:51The only way Seth keeps his executive spot is if we impress Mrs. Vance.
05:55And you're out here spreading psychotic rumors that you know the CEO?
05:59Are you trying to ruin Seth's career?
06:01I wiped the blood from my split lip.
06:02My stare must have been dead cold.
06:04Because Seth frowned.
06:05A flicker of genuine panic flashed across his eyes.
06:08Vanessa, you ungrateful bitch.
06:11Seth was kind enough to offer you a roof over your head.
06:14Don't push your luck.
06:16I know you're bitter about the past.
06:18But trying to sabotage his career out of petty revenge?
06:22That's sick.
06:22Hearing her say that, it felt exactly like three years ago.
06:26No matter what I did, Chloe would twist it.
06:29She would feed her poisoned version of reality to Seth.
06:32In the early days, he used to defend me.
06:34But by the end, he always took her side.
06:36Just like right now.
06:42You're such a jealous shrew.
06:44But this time, he didn't keep screaming at me.
06:47Then he pulled out his checkbook.
06:48For the sake of what we used to be, I'll let this slide.
06:51Take the cash.
06:53Go buy some clothes that don't look like trash.
06:55If you really don't want to nanny Chloe's kid,
06:58I'll pull some strings and get you a decent job next week.
07:01Don't worry.
07:02Ever since the Vance acquisition,
07:04this kind of money is pocket cheese to me.
07:06No thank you, sir.
07:07I don't take handouts from strangers.
07:13I practically sprinted out of the arrival's terminal.
07:16Hitting the fresh air outside.
07:18Finally pushing down the nausea churning in my stomach.
07:20My mind flashed back to three years ago.
07:23My parents had been pressuring me into an arranged marriage overseas.
07:26I fought them on it.
07:30I begged Seth, my boyfriend of seven years, to just elope with me.
07:34Seth agreed.
07:35But when I showed up at the county clerk's office,
07:38he brought his childhood sweetheart, Chloe.
07:41Her child needs a legal father.
07:43I will divorce Chloe in a month.
07:45Then marry you.
07:46He told me not to overthink it.
07:48Watching him hold her hand and walk into that clerk's office.
07:51I'm completely done.
07:53I flew overseas for a blind date that very night.
07:56A month later, I married Grayson Vance.
07:58A year later, we had our first baby.
08:01And now, I'm pregnant with our second.
08:03Honestly, if it wasn't for Grayson's family memorial,
08:06I never would have set foot back in this country.
08:08And I definitely wouldn't have bumped into Seth.
08:13Three days later, I showed up to the corporate gala alone,
08:16wearing light makeup and my custom loungewear.
08:19The second Seth saw me, his eyes lit up.
08:21A smug smirk spread across his face.
08:24You said you didn't want to come?
08:26But here you are.
08:27Listen, if you want me back,
08:29you need to at least dress the part to match my new status.
08:34Vanessa, I'm talking to you.
08:36Our seats are right here.
08:37Where do you think you're going?
08:38Those are your seats.
08:40My seat is over there.
08:42Vanessa, how did you sneak in here?
08:44Are you here to ruin everything?
08:47How dare you wear that bracelet?
08:51Wait, is that the Eternal Heart diamond bracelet?
08:54Mr. Vance bought that for his wife?
08:56Tonight is Mrs. Vance's first public appearance.
08:58Is this girl trying to mock the billionaire's wife?
09:01She sneak in?
09:02Is she trying to humiliate us in front of Mr. Vance?
09:05One of the executives turned to Seth.
09:06Excuse me, Seth.
09:08Is this young lady your friend?
09:12No.
09:13I don't know her.
09:15Take that fake bracelet off and get out.
09:18Are you sure you want me to leave?
09:19Chloe realized people were watching her.
09:21Her eyes turned vicious.
09:23Stop acting like you're special!
09:25Take it off!
09:26She lunged forward to rip it off my wrist.
09:28I swatted her hand away and stepped backward.
09:37Treating this cheap garbage like treasure?
09:40My hand throbbed from her heel.
09:41My wrist was bleeding and torn.
09:43But I just sat there.
09:45Staring blankly at the snapped bracelet.
09:47And the diamonds scattering across the floor.
09:50Pick her up and throw her out!
09:52A few security guards immediately surrounded me.
09:55They reached down to grab my arms and legs.
09:57I panicked and struggled.
09:59Stop touching me!
10:00I am Grayson Valses!
10:03Chloe slapped me across the face before I could finish.
10:07Are you gonna start spreading rumors that you're Mr. Vance's mistress now?
10:11You psychotic bitch!
10:13She backhanded me a second time.
10:15When I flew back to the States, I didn't want to bother with revenge.
10:18It felt beneath me.
10:19But right now, I was going to make sure she paid for this.
10:22Seth crouched down in front of me.
10:24He reached out to touch my bleeding wrist.
10:26Vanessa, are you done throwing your little fit?
10:29You showed up wearing a fake diamond bracelet.
10:32Dressed like a complete mess.
10:34Just because you see I'm rich now?
10:36And you want to make me jealous?
10:37If you want me back, just beg.
10:39I'll say yes.
10:41Seth?
10:42You are absolutely screwed.
10:46Suddenly, the entire ballroom went dead silent.
10:49Mr. Vance is here.
10:51Behave yourself.
10:52And don't worry, Vanessa.
10:54Chloe and I are already divorced.
10:55I stared at him, rubbing my bruised hand.
10:58This man was absolutely repulsive.
11:00What did his divorce have to do with me?
11:01At that exact moment, Grayson walked through the doors.
11:04Surrounded by a massive entourage of bodyguards and executives,
11:08he was holding our toddler in his arms.
11:09Once they got into the ballroom, my son squirmed to get down.
11:13Grayson set him on the floor.
11:14The adorable little boy instantly captured the entire room's attention.
11:18His nanny hurried nervously right behind him.
11:20Seth didn't notice who the kid was running toward.
11:22Vanessa, if you stop acting jealous of Chloe,
11:25I'll forgive you for vanishing for three years.
11:28I'll give you a chance to give me a child.
11:30A child of ours.
11:32I didn't say a single word to him.
11:34I just looked past him, trying to catch Grayson and my son's eyes through the crowd.
11:38And then, it happened.
11:40Grayson followed the toddler's clumsy little footsteps.
11:43Right up to where I was standing.
11:47The second my little boy saw me, he panicked.
11:50He threw himself into my arms.
11:52Mommy!
11:53Who hurt you?
11:54Why is there so much blood?
11:56The word mommy echoed through the silent room.
11:58The executives who had just watched me get assaulted,
12:01stared at me in absolute horror.
12:03My son's warm hug instantly washed away my disgust.
12:05Mommy's fine, baby.
12:07He grabbed my bleeding hand and gently blew on the torn skin.
12:10Tears welled up in his eyes.
12:11Mommy, who dared to do this to you?
12:14Before I could comfort him, the air in the room suddenly turned freezing cold.
12:18A heavy, suffocating pressure washed over the crowd.
12:20Grayson was walking toward us.
12:22The sea of terrified executives parted for him.
12:24Ever since I got pregnant with our second baby,
12:27he had been insanely overprotective.
12:29Glued to my side 24-7.
12:31I instantly regretted flying back ahead of him.
12:33I picked up our son and turned around.
12:35The bright red blood dripping down my wrist,
12:37stood out starkly against my son's white shirt.
12:40Daddy, someone bullied mommy.
12:42We have to get revenge.
12:44Grayson stepped forward and gently took my bleeding wrist.
12:47His face was terrifyingly dark.
12:49Vanessa, what is this?
12:53Seeing this ruthless billionaire turn into a fiercely protective husband made my heart melt.
12:57He was so protective.
12:58A mosquito bite.
13:00A tiny mark from sleep.
13:01Even just half a spoon less.
13:03He's instantly worried.
13:04But I loved how intensely he cared about me.
13:06The ballroom lights were heavily dimmed.
13:08But our son felt something hard under his shoe.
13:10He bent down and picked up the massive center sapphire from my broken bracelet.
13:14Daddy, isn't this the present you gave mommy?
13:18Grayson took the sapphire and flipped it over.
13:20Seeing his own engraved initials.
13:22He looked at the crushed diamonds on the floor.
13:25Then at my mangled wrist.
13:26His hand gripped the armrest of a nearby chair so hard,
13:29the metal literally deformed under his grip.
13:31Frustrated by the shadows,
13:33he gently forced me into the chair.
13:35Turn on every single light in this room!
13:38When our eyes met,
13:39his pupils narrowed slightly.
13:40What happened to your face?
13:41They actually dared to do this to you?
13:43I'm fine, Grayson.
13:44Vanessa, I am your husband.
13:45You never have to just swallow this kind of abuse.
13:47No one bullies mommy!
13:48Honestly,
13:49I could have handled Seth and Chloe myself.
13:51But maybe it was the pregnancy hormones.
13:53Or just finally feeling safe.
13:55My voice suddenly cracked.
13:57All the built-up exhaustion finally broke through.
13:59You weren't here?
14:01They all picked on me?
14:04The frat boys from the airport were literally shaking.
14:07They were gripping the cocktail tables just to stay upright.
14:09The obsessed, pathetic ex they had been mocking all week
14:12was actually Grayson Vance's wife.
14:14They were kicking themselves,
14:15desperate to find a hole to crawl into and die.
14:17But then,
14:18Chloe's little minion, Tiffany,
14:19strutted out of the crowd.
14:21Vanessa,
14:22where did you hire these two actors?
14:24Their acting is pretty good.
14:25Do you want Chloe to get them an agent?
14:29Since you're clearly too broke to afford your own clothes,
14:33I've got a set I've already worn.
14:34If you don't mind,
14:35I can give it to you
14:36so you won't make a fool of yourself.
14:38Tiffany had arrived late.
14:39She totally missed Grayson's terrifying entrance.
14:42She was just Chloe's lapdog,
14:44dressed up to snag a rich husband tonight.
14:46And she knew the easiest way to impress Chloe
14:48was to bully me.
14:49Tiffany threw her head back
14:50and cackled at her own joke.
14:52Usually,
14:53the frat boys would instantly laugh along with her.
14:55But this time,
14:56the entire ballroom just stared at her
14:58like she was suicidal.
14:59Tiffany noticed the dead silence,
15:01but she doubled down.
15:02She looked right at Grayson and smirked.
15:05You're pretty handsome.
15:06If you dumped Vanessa,
15:08I wouldn't mind being your sugar mama.
15:12His words made the corner of my mouth twitch
15:14an embarrassment.
15:15She wanted to be a sugar mama?
15:17To Grayson Vance?
15:18I honestly didn't know if she was incredibly brave
15:21or just incredibly stupid.
15:22Anyone with functioning eyes could feel
15:24Grayson's terrifying, billionaire aura.
15:26Grayson actually let out a dark,
15:28furious laugh.
15:29If I offered to be his sugar mama,
15:31he'd be thrilled.
15:32But any other woman?
15:33He would only think she was courting death.
15:35Over the years,
15:36any woman who tried to throw herself at him
15:38was never heard from again
15:40or shipped off to some remote place
15:42and forced to marry.
15:43Tiffany finally realized the vibe
15:45was completely toxic.
15:46She nervously stepped toward Chloe for backup.
15:48But Chloe wanted absolutely nothing to do with her.
15:51Before Tiffany could even speak,
15:53Chloe spun around
15:54and slapped her viciously across the face.
15:56Tiffany crashed hard onto the marble floor.
15:59Tiffany, are you insane?
16:01You dare offend Mr. and Mrs. Vance?
16:03Do you have a death wish?
16:07Vanessa is Mrs. Vance?
16:09I offended Grayson Vance?
16:12She knew Grayson's ruthless reputation.
16:14She knew he destroyed anyone
16:15who even looked at his wife the wrong way.
16:17Tiffany started shaking uncontrollably.
16:20Oh my God, look at her dress!
16:21Every eye in the room dropped to the floor.
16:23Tiffany had literally wet herself in pure terror.
16:26Grayson didn't even blink.
16:28He just slightly furrowed his brow.
16:30Two massive bodyguards immediately stepped up
16:32and dragged Tiffany out of the ballroom.
16:34Seth and Chloe's faces burned bright red.
16:36Even though Tiffany was the one getting dragged out,
16:38everyone knew she was just echoing their insults.
16:41The elite guests stared at Seth and Chloe
16:43with absolute disgust.
16:44Like they were staring at clowns.
16:46Meanwhile, Grayson's on-call doctor
16:48was frantically cleaning the torn skin on my wrist.
16:50I winced.
16:51Just a tiny hiss of pain.
16:52Instantly, Grayson and our son glared at the doctor
16:55like they were going to execute him.
16:57You don't even know how to apply ointment properly?
16:59I immediately shot my husband and son
17:01a stern warning glare.
17:02Instantly, the terrifying billionaire
17:04and the fierce toddler melted.
17:07Vanessa?
17:09Mommy?
17:09They both looked at me with identical,
17:12pathetic puppy dog eyes.
17:15I let out a soft sigh.
17:17Guys, the doctor is trying to help me.
17:20Stop glaring at him.
17:21With my reassurance,
17:22the doctor let out a massive breath of relief.
17:24He finished his checkup and turned to Grayson.
17:27Your wife is perfectly fine.
17:29The baby is perfectly safe.
17:31Her wrist is pretty torn up though.
17:33I'll use our best medical ointment
17:34to prevent any scarring.
17:36Grayson didn't say a single word.
17:37I knew exactly what that meant.
17:39That was his pre-explosion silence.
17:41Standing in the crowd,
17:43Seth looked terrified.
17:44But underneath the panic,
17:46he burned with jealousy
17:47as he watched us being close.
17:48His possessiveness was peaking.
17:50But his company's survival was on the line.
17:52So he had to bite his tongue.
17:54Grayson stood up beside me.
17:56Looking out over the terrified crowd of executives.
17:59He looked so lethal.
18:00But honestly,
18:01I found it kind of cute.
18:03Especially with our son standing right beside him,
18:05looking like a tiny, angry clone.
18:07I want to know exactly what happened
18:09over the last three days.
18:11If someone speaks up now,
18:13maybe you survived this.
18:17But if I have to find out myself,
18:21every single one of you is going down.
18:23It was a naked, terrifying threat.
18:25These people had fought tooth and nail
18:27just to get an invite to this gala.
18:29None of them wanted to die for Seth.
18:31Seth panicked.
18:32He desperately stepped forward
18:33to save his own skin.
18:34Mr. Vance,
18:35it's just a huge misunderstanding.
18:37As Vanessa's fiance,
18:39I was just catching up with her.
18:40It was just an accident.
18:42I froze.
18:43He actually used the word fiance,
18:45right to my husband's face.
18:46It was pure,
18:47delusional arrogance.
18:49He really thought I had spent the last three years
18:51staying pure for him,
18:52waiting for him to snap his fingers
18:54so I could run back.
18:55He completely ignored the murderous look
18:56crossing Grayson's face.
18:58Crack.
18:58I heard glass shatter.
19:00I whipped my head around.
19:01Grayson had literally crushed
19:03his crystal whiskey glass.
19:04Bare-handed,
19:05blood was dripping down his fingers.
19:08Grayson!
19:08I grabbed his hand,
19:09completely horrified.
19:11I spun around and screamed at Seth.
19:13Seth,
19:13don't flatter yourself.
19:14Stop trying to sabotage
19:16my marriage.
19:17I think I've been way too nice to you.
19:20I only love Grayson!
19:23I grabbed a clean napkin
19:25and frantically started wrapping
19:26Grayson's bleeding hand.
19:27Seth looked genuinely hurt.
19:29Vanessa,
19:30I know you're bitter,
19:31but Chloe and I are already divorced now.
19:35Her kid is ready to call you mom.
19:37You only married this guy
19:38to make me mad, right?
19:40It's fine,
19:40I don't mind.
19:41Divorce him.
19:42Let's get married.
19:43Whatever Grayson can give you,
19:44I can work hard and give you too.
19:46Just come back
19:47and be my son's nanny.
19:49If you don't like Chloe,
19:50I'll make her leave.
19:51I honestly couldn't believe
19:52what I was hearing.
19:53His shamelessness
19:54really blew my mind.
19:55Grayson's blood
19:56was smearing onto my clothes.
19:58But as I urgently pressed
19:59the napkin to his palm,
20:00he suddenly started laughing.
20:02A low,
20:03genuinely happy laugh.
20:04I glared at him,
20:06furious.
20:07Why are you laughing?
20:08Grayson reached over
20:09with his clean,
20:10uninjured hand
20:11and gently patted my head.
20:14Vanessa,
20:15you just said
20:16I'm the one
20:17you love the most.
20:18Our son literally
20:19rolled his eyes.
20:21His ruthless,
20:22terrifying dad
20:23was currently acting
20:24like a lovesick teenager.
20:26Just because I defended him,
20:28the entire ballroom
20:29was dead silent.
20:30Half the guests
20:31were in absolute shock.
20:32The other half
20:33were dying of envy.
20:34I could hear the frantic whispers
20:35spreading through the crowd.
20:37The rumors are real.
20:38He is completely obsessed
20:39with his wife.
20:42Seth stood there,
20:43his fists completely clenched
20:45in humiliation.
20:46But my son
20:47wasn't done with him.
20:48Leo looked him up and down
20:49with absolute disgust.
20:51A nanny?
20:53My mommy is the princess
20:54of our house.
20:56You think you deserve her?
20:57Mommy is only having
20:58two kids.
20:59Me and my little sister.
21:02You really think
21:03your shady,
21:04illegitimate kid
21:05gets to call her mom?
21:08I know all about you.
21:10You're the trash
21:11who broke my mom's heart.
21:14You're not as handsome
21:15as my dad.
21:16You're not as tall
21:17as my dad.
21:18You're not as fit
21:19as my dad.
21:20And you smell cheap.
21:22It's making my eyes water.
21:25Is your kid gonna grow up
21:26to be a leech
21:27who lives off women?
21:28Just like you?
21:29The elite guests
21:30surrounding us
21:31erupted into laughter.
21:32Seth bit his lips
21:33so hard it bled.
21:34His chest heaped with shame.
21:36Everyone in that room
21:36knew the truth.
21:37He only got his executive title
21:39by leeching off
21:40Chloe's family money.
21:41Hearing all this,
21:42Chloe completely snapped.
21:43Seth had literally
21:44just asked me
21:45to replace her.
21:46To be his son's
21:47real mother.
21:47Pure,
21:48psychotic jealousy
21:49took over.
21:50Chloe grabbed
21:50a silver steak fork
21:51off the nearest table.
21:52She lunged straight
21:53at Leo.
21:58You little bastard
21:59I'll kill you!
22:02I didn't even think.
22:03I let go of Grayson's hand.
22:05And threw my body
22:06entirely over my son.
22:07A blinding,
22:08agonizing pain
22:09ripped through my back.
22:10The color completely
22:11drained from my face.
22:12Leo, are you...
22:13I didn't even get
22:14to finish the sentence.
22:15Everything went black.
22:16I collapsed to the floor.
22:18The last thing I saw
22:19was my son's terrified face.
22:21I woke up to the sharp smell
22:22of hospital bleach.
22:23I glanced down
22:24at my hospital gown
22:25and felt a little dazed.
22:26My best friend,
22:27Maya,
22:27threw her arms around me.
22:28Vanessa!
22:30You're finally awake!
22:31If you stayed out
22:33any longer,
22:33your husband and your son
22:34were gonna turn
22:35this city upside down.
22:36I panicked
22:37and instantly touched
22:38my pregnant belly.
22:39Maya knew exactly
22:40what I was thinking.
22:41You're fine.
22:42The baby is perfectly fine.
22:44The doctor said
22:44you fanned from the shock
22:46and the pain.
22:47That psycho bitch
22:48actually tried
22:49to stab a toddler.
22:50I started coughing violently.
22:51My throat completely dry.
22:53Maya grabbed a cup of water
22:54and rubbed my back.
22:55Slow down.
22:56Drink.
22:57Honestly, Vanessa,
22:58you were way too impulsive.
22:59Grayson had 10 bodyguards
23:01in that room.
23:02They would have stopped her.
23:05Leo didn't need you
23:05to take a fork for him.
23:07He's a fierce little guy.
23:08I finally caught my breath.
23:10He's my baby.
23:11Of course I protected him.
23:12I looked around
23:13the empty hospital room.
23:14Where are they?
23:17Maya's eyes lit up.
23:18Getting revenge, obviously.
23:20I wanted to go watch.
23:21But your husband
23:22and your kid
23:23are literally terrifying.
23:24So, I stayed here.
23:27Is staying with me a chore?
23:30Vanessa, you don't even know.
23:32When I got to the gala,
23:33you were already unconscious.
23:36Your sweet, soft little boy?
23:38He grabbed a fork
23:39and stabbed it
23:40right into Chloe's hand.
23:41I didn't even know
23:42a toddler could have
23:43that much strength.
23:45And Grayson?
23:46He looked like
23:47the devil incarnate.
23:48Her voice dropping
23:49to a whisper.
23:50Grayson found out
23:51what happened at the airport.
23:53He found out
23:53Seth slapped you
23:54and broke your bracelet.
23:55He had his bodyguards
23:57pin Seth to the floor.
23:58And he severed
23:59the hand that hit you.
24:00Leo just stood there
24:01and watched.
24:02Didn't even blink.
24:03He's a terrifying
24:04little demon.
24:05Then they beat
24:06Seth's face
24:07into an unrecognizable pulp.
24:09But that wasn't
24:09even the worst part.
24:10Grayson found out
24:11Chloe wanted your diamonds.
24:13You love taking things
24:14that don't belong to you?
24:15I'll give you exactly
24:16what you want.
24:18The diamonds
24:18and my wife's leftovers.
24:22Chloe refused to eat them.
24:24So Grayson had her kid
24:25dragged into the room.
24:27She was so terrified
24:28she started swallowing
24:30the diamonds.
24:31She was half dead
24:32by the time she finished.
24:33Then Grayson
24:34had her face
24:35slashed to pieces.
24:37Right in front of her
24:38he had her son's tendons
24:40in his hands cut
24:41and he had her
24:42dumped into the open sea.
24:45I stared at Maya
24:46completely stunned.
24:48What about the executives?
24:50Oh
24:50Grayson handled them too.
24:52Every single person
24:53who stood there
24:54and watched you get bullied
24:55Grayson had their wrists
24:56sliced open
24:57just enough to leave
24:59a permanent ugly scar
25:00to punish them
25:01for just standing by.
25:02If I wasn't your best friend
25:04I probably would have
25:04gotten sliced too.
25:05She fake wiped a tear
25:06trying to make me laugh.
25:08I just rolled my eyes at her.
25:10The media was there
25:11but no one dared
25:13to report the blood.
25:14The news just said
25:15Seth's company
25:16went bankrupt overnight.
25:18Any executive
25:19who didn't help you?
25:21Their overseas markets
25:22are being actively dismantled
25:24by Vance Corp.
25:25Right now
25:25Grayson and Leo
25:26are hunting Seth down.
25:28He was supposed to be
25:29thrown with Chloe
25:30but apparently
25:31they made some sick deal.
25:34Chloe threw herself
25:34at the bodyguards
25:35to buy him time
25:40and Seth ran.
25:43Maya and I both knew
25:44how Seth escaped.
25:46It was obvious.
25:47He used Chloe's kit
25:48as leverage.
25:49Chloe had swallowed
25:50a stomach full of raw diamonds.
25:52She was half dead.
25:53Her only remaining
25:54tied to the world
25:55was her son
25:56so she threw herself
25:57at the bodyguards
25:58to let Seth run.
25:59Grayson's revenge
26:00had been absolutely
26:01brutal but honestly
26:02I wasn't scared
26:04of him at all.
26:05I was just worried
26:06that our sweet toddler
26:06was led astray by him.
26:09Mommy!
26:09You're awake!
26:12I'm okay Grayson.
26:13Leo did daddy yell
26:14at you while I was asleep?
26:16No.
26:17Daddy didn't yell at me.
26:21Mommy.
26:22I'll never let anyone
26:23hurt you again.
26:25It was all my fault.
26:26I'm sorry.
26:29Protecting you
26:30is Mommy's job.
26:31I don't blame you at all.
26:32Maya eventually
26:33took Leo down
26:34to the cafeteria
26:34leaving just me
26:36and Grayson in the room.
26:38Grayson,
26:39the doctor already
26:40taped it up.
26:40There's nothing to see.
26:42Vanessa,
26:43I promise you
26:44there will never
26:45be a next time.
26:46I believe you.
26:48You're the man
26:49I love the most.
26:51I treasure my life
26:52because I plan
26:53to spend the rest
26:53of time with you.
26:54Hearing that,
26:55the darkness
26:55in Grayson's eyes
26:56finally broke.
26:57He made me stay
26:58in the hospital
26:59for three extra days.
27:00Running every single
27:01test imaginable.
27:02Until the doctors
27:03practically begged us
27:04to leave.
27:05On the day of my discharge,
27:07Grayson and Leo
27:08went down
27:08to pull the car around.
27:10I was zipping up
27:11my overnight bag.
27:12The door creaked open.
27:18The door creaked open.
27:19I had my back turned.
27:21Leo grabbed Mommy's
27:22hairbrush off the counter.
27:23Vanessa,
27:24it's me.
27:25I froze.
27:26I slowly turned around.
27:28Standing in the doorway
27:30was Seth.
27:30His face was an unrecognizable,
27:33swollen mess
27:33of purple bruises.
27:34His arm was heavily bandaged
27:36where Grayson
27:36had severed his hand.
27:38He had somehow sneaked
27:39past the hospital security.
27:41I gripped the edge
27:41of the bed,
27:42my heart pounding.
27:43After what Chloe did,
27:44I wasn't taking any chances.
27:46Seth saw me step back.
27:48He immediately
27:49raised his good hand.
27:50Don't be scared.
27:51I'm not gonna hurt you.
27:52I just...
27:52Just what?
27:53I snapped,
27:54my voice laced with pure disgust.
27:56I still love you, Vanessa.
27:58I can't stand the thought
27:59of you married to another man.
28:01I know you still have feelings for me.
28:03We can start over.
28:04I looked at him closely.
28:06He was covered in injuries,
28:08but she'd clearly fixed himself
28:09up a little.
28:10He was wearing a cheap navy suit.
28:12The exact suit I had bought
28:14for him in college.
28:15The one he used to complain
28:16was too poor for his tastes.
28:17I let out a harsh,
28:19freezing laugh.
28:20Start over?
28:21Seth, you threw me
28:23out of the clerk's office.
28:24You made me a laughing stock,
28:26and now you have the nerve
28:27to say you love me?
28:29You make me sick.
28:32Chloe was pregnant.
28:33I had to take responsibility.
28:35You wouldn't want a kid
28:36to grow up without a father,
28:37right?
28:38You are so unbelievably shameless.
28:41Did that kid just pop up
28:42out of nowhere?
28:42If you had kept it in your pants,
28:44you wouldn't have had
28:45a random pregnancy to deal with.
28:46You're still making excuses
28:48for cheating on me.
28:50You're rotting trash.
28:52Why would I ever look back?
28:54Before Seth could open
28:55his mouth to argue,
28:56two massive men in black suits
28:57slammed into him from a party.
28:59They drove him face first
29:00into the hospital floor.
29:02Grayson stepped into the room.
29:03His face darkened completely.
29:08Grayson stepped into the room.
29:09His face darkened completely.
29:12Seth, you really can't wait
29:14to die, can you?
29:15Grayson whispered lethally.
29:17He looked me over,
29:18making sure I wasn't hurt.
29:21Drag him out.
29:22Grayson!
29:23Do you really think she loves you?
29:25I was with her for seven years!
29:26You're just my replacement!
29:28You're just a rebound!
29:30Grayson stepped out into the hall
29:32and kicked Seth squarely in the jaw,
29:34knocking him out cold.
29:35Even after three years of marriage,
29:37Grayson was deeply insecure.
29:39He always secretly believed
29:40I didn't love him as much
29:41as he loved me.
29:42Watching my husband's rigid back,
29:44my heart ached.
29:45As for Seth?
29:46I hoped Grayson dumped him in the sea.
29:50I stood in the hallway,
29:52looking up at our massive
29:53framed wedding photo.
29:54In the picture,
29:55Grayson looked at me
29:56with absolute,
29:57consuming devotion.
29:58But I was looking at the camera.
30:00Distant.
30:01Indifferent.
30:02But over the years,
30:03this man had completely
30:04stolen my heart.
30:05I reached up to take
30:06the heavy frame down
30:07to dust it.
30:08As I pulled it off the wall,
30:10dozens of loose photographs
30:11rained down onto the hardwood floor.
30:13I dropped to my knees,
30:14completely shocked.
30:15Me in college,
30:16handing out flyers.
30:18Me in the campus library.
30:20Me at my high school graduation.
30:22He had been watching me for years.
30:24Long before the arranged marriage.
30:26Long before I even knew his name.
30:28I heard footsteps.
30:29Grayson walked into the hallway.
30:31He saw me sitting on the floor,
30:33surrounded by his secret stash.
30:35The color completely drained
30:36from the terrifying billionaire's face.
30:38He looked like a criminal
30:39caught red-handed.
30:41Vanessa, how did you...
30:42He couldn't even look me in the eye.
30:44I looked up at him.
30:45And a teasing smile
30:47spread across my face.
30:50If you liked me this much back then,
30:52why didn't you just ask me out?
30:54You made me waste seven years
30:56with that cheating loser.
30:58I picked up a photo of myself
31:00eating a campus hot dog.
31:01The lighting in this one
31:02is actually really good.
31:04I love it.
31:05Grayson froze.
31:07He looked at me in pure disbelief.
31:09Vanessa, you don't blame me?
31:11Blame you for what?
31:13For being a creep.
31:15For stalking you.
31:17Shut up.
31:18You're not a creep.
31:19Looking at these,
31:20all I feel is how much you loved me.
31:22Terrifying Grayson Vance
31:24actually started to cry.
31:25Tears spilled over his lashes.
31:27He dropped to his knees
31:28in front of me.
31:29Vanessa,
31:31I never dared to ask for your love.
31:33I just wanted to be allowed
31:34to stay by your side.
31:36I wrapped my arms around his neck.
31:38Stop saying stupid things.
31:40I love you the most.
31:42My heart is completely yours.
31:44I finally understood
31:45why he was so insecure.
31:48I secretly hired a private investigator
31:50to look into his past.
31:52Grayson had been abandoned
31:53by his birth parents.
31:55Raised by a cold,
31:56distant adoptive father
31:57who never showed him affection.
31:59He was a total loner in high school.
32:01People avoided him
32:02because he never spoke.
32:04My senior year of high school,
32:05I saw a quiet boy sitting alone
32:07on the bleachers,
32:08eating plain bread for lunch.
32:09I thought he was starving.
32:11I had marched up to him,
32:13unzipped his backpack,
32:14and shoved a wad of cash inside.
32:15Listen up.
32:16You're with Vanessa now.
32:18Consider this your lunch allowance.
32:20I just felt pity for him.
32:22I didn't even know his name.
32:24But I never realized.
32:26That lonely boy eating plain bread was Grayson.
32:28Because of his past,
32:30he always felt unworthy.
32:31He always felt a wall between us.
32:33Even though we already had two kids.
32:35I made a silent promise.
32:37I was going to spend the rest of my life
32:39showing this insecure,
32:40sensitive man exactly how much I loved him.
