00:00All I did was buy a $5 latte.
00:02My husband's secretary reported me for embezzlement.
00:04What they didn't know was that every cent in that company belonged to me.
00:08I agreed.
00:09Amber was one of them.
00:10Less than 10 days after she joined, but what truly made me fall for him was an accident.
00:15Ethan stood right up and walked straight over to me.
00:17Victoria would never do something like this!
00:19Suddenly my stomach cramped.
00:20Fighting through the pain, I handed over my black card.
00:23Ms. Lane, your card has been frozen.
00:26Cole.
00:26At her words, blood roared in my head.
00:28I called the company's lawyer.
00:30Fire Amber immediately and suspend Ethan from his post as CEO.
00:34All I did was buy a $5 latte.
00:36Yet my husband's secretary reported me for embezzlement.
00:39What they didn't know was that every cent in that company belonged to me.
00:43I bought a latte and put it on my black card.
00:45I just stepped outside.
00:46Ma'am, we've had a report that you've been embezzling company funds.
00:49I was still reeling when my husband's new secretary, Amber, called my phone.
00:53Mrs. Cole, I turned you in.
00:55Ethan works hard and you waste his money.
00:57From now on, every dollar you spend needs my approval.
01:00Also, your monthly limit is $500.
01:02You've already spent $499.
01:04No.
01:04No more money.
01:05I started to laugh.
01:06The girl had been at the company for one month.
01:08Thanking on the fact that my husband had always been courteous to her, she'd decided she was his household manager.
01:13What she didn't know was that I was the one who founded this company.
01:16I come from the Lane family, worth hundreds of billions.
01:19Every cent in Ethan's bank account is mine.
01:22Who gave her the right to manage my family's money on his behalf?
01:25The officers heard Amber over the phone.
01:27Then they glanced at my screen.
01:28A $5 charge.
01:30Their faces went dark.
01:31They apologized to me gravely and said they'd be sure to report back to my husband's company that one of
01:35its employees had filed a false police report.
01:38Suddenly, my stomach cramped.
01:40My stomach!
01:41It hurts so much!
01:42Please take me to the hospital!
01:46At the hospital, they asked me to pay.
01:48Fighting through the pain, I handed over my black card.
01:51But before long, a nurse came over holding my card.
01:54Ms. Lane, your card has been frozen.
01:57My whole body went cold.
01:59How is that possible?
02:00This card has no spending limit.
02:02How could it be frozen?
02:06Amber.
02:07It has to be Amber.
02:08I quickly called Ethan.
02:10But to my surprise, the voice on the other end was Amber's, impatient.
02:13Mr. Cole, all I did was put a limit on your spending.
02:15And you've already come running to tattle?
02:17Let me tell you, tattling won't get you anywhere.
02:20Ethan authorized this.
02:22I'm at the hospital right now.
02:24I forced down the pain.
02:26I need money.
02:27Unfreeze my card!
02:29Or put Ethan on the phone this instant.
02:32I'll talk to him myself!
02:35Ethan's busy.
02:36He left everything to me.
02:38Need money?
02:40Ask me first.
02:43The card I'm using isn't Ethan's.
02:45You froze my card behind my back?
02:50I will not let this go.
02:53Mrs. Lane, isn't your money just Ethan's money?
02:57You can't bully me and threaten me just because you're Mrs. Cole.
03:01At her words, blood roared in my head.
03:03Before I lost consciousness, I called the company's lawyer.
03:06Fire Amber immediately and suspend Ethan from his post as CEO.
03:11Order Ethan to come to the hospital at once.
03:14A brand new secretary with no one behind her.
03:17I never imagined she'd dare to bully the boss's wife so brazenly.
03:20But what I found hardest to believe was that Ethan, the man who loved me so deeply, could do this.
03:25He'd betrayed me for some little secretary who'd been on the job a single month.
03:29I'm worth hundreds of billions and I'm my parents' only daughter.
03:32I wanted to marry and have children, but I didn't want a marriage of alliance.
03:35What I wanted was a dependable man to help me run the family business.
03:39To find that dependable man, that year I hid my identity and joined the company as an entry-level employee.
03:44And that year, I met Ethan.
03:46Ethan was a Yale graduate.
03:47He came from a poor family, but he was gentle by nature and took every assignment seriously.
03:52A few times, when I worked late into the night, he'd make me a cup of coffee.
03:56In those moments, my heart wouldn't stop racing.
03:58It's not safe to head home this late.
04:00Let me finish your work for you. Go on home.
04:01But what truly made me fall for him was an accident.
04:04A female colleague stole my project and then turned around and accused me of plagiarism.
04:08Ethan stood right up and walked straight over to me.
04:11Victoria would never do something like this.
04:12I'll vouch for her.
04:13If you insist on firing an innocent employee, then I won't stay at a company like this either.
04:17I'm leaving with her.
04:18He threw down his badge, took my hand, and walked me out of the building.
04:22In that moment, I made up my mind.
04:24He was the love of my life.
04:26I threw my arms around him and confessed, bold as anything.
04:29Ethan!
04:31I like you!
04:32Do you like me?
04:34After we married, I chose to step away from the company to focus on trying for a baby,
04:39hoping to give birth to my heir as soon as I could.
04:41The company's affairs were left to Ethan and my lawyer to manage together.
04:45Ethan didn't disappoint me.
04:46He built the company up, step by step, until a month and a half ago,
04:49when he suddenly told me he wanted to recruit a batch of graduates from his alma mater.
04:53I agreed.
04:54Amber was one of them.
04:55Less than ten days after she joined, she'd climbed all the way up to secretary to the CEO.
05:00I heard the office gossip.
05:01Someone on the secretarial team tipped me off.
05:03Victoria, I think Ethan and Amber are getting way too close at work.
05:06They eat together all the time.
05:08They nap together in the president's office.
05:09You need to watch out.
05:10But I'm not the kind of person who interferes with the company over some baseless rumor.
05:14I quietly looked over Amber's resume and sat in on a few meetings she ran.
05:18She was very good at her job.
05:19I admired her.
05:20I even gave her a raise.
05:21But it never crossed my mind that doing so would only feed her ambition.
05:25When I woke up, Ethan still hadn't shown.
05:27The lawyer had stayed at my bedside the whole time, and he filled me in.
05:30Ethan and his secretary went out for a meeting.
05:33He says he won't be back until tomorrow.
05:35I pulled the attendance records for the past two weeks and found the two of them going out for meetings
05:39all the time.
05:40Except every place they go is a resort.
05:43I also asked some of the employees, and they said they often see Amber posting photos on Instagram of her
05:50and Ethan traveling together.
05:52Do you want to see?
05:53He handed me his phone, and on it were countless screenshots of Instagram posts.
05:58In every single one, Amber had carefully laid out a grid of photos.
06:01We looked into Amber's time at university and found she'd already been in contact with Ethan back when she was
06:06a student.
06:08So he'd betrayed me that early.
06:09My heart felt like it was being torn to shreds.
06:12The lawyer handed me a document.
06:13I opened it and sucked in a sharp breath.
06:17Amber?
06:18She's pregnant?
06:21It has to be Ethan's child.
06:25Just take me home for now.
06:26I need to clear my head.
06:30But when I got home, I found my house had been sealed off.
06:33The jewels my parents had given me were packed into boxes, locked up and taken away.
06:37I rushed over and grabbed the people doing it.
06:39What do you think you're doing?
06:40Put my things down!
06:41Their faces were ice cold.
06:44From now on, your jewelry and gowns are managed by Mrs. Ward.
06:47If you need to use any of them, please write a 5,000-word application and submit it through the
06:51internal approval system.
06:53Once Ms. Ward signs off, you may use them.
06:59All I did was buy a $5 latte.
07:01My husband's secretary reported me for embezzlement.
07:04What they didn't know was that every cent in that company belonged to me.

09:17Let me tell you, tattling won't get you anywhere.

13:57Five years.
13:58I worked three jobs to put William through business school.
14:01Today's his birthday and our fifth wedding anniversary.
14:08What the hell are you doing?
14:11On our anniversary?
14:12You're screwing my best friend?
14:14Wow.
14:15Cheap.
14:16But I guess I should thank you.
14:18You delivered Gina right to me.
14:20Now get the hell out of my house!
14:32Five years.
14:33And I'm down to 38 bucks.
14:40Do it, Elaine.
14:42You've got nothing.
14:43No money.
14:44No home.
14:45You can't even save yourself.
14:48Come on!
14:54Daddy!
15:07It's okay.
15:09Daddy's here.
15:27You saved her.
15:29She...
15:29She needed help.
15:30I couldn't just walk away.
15:32Daddy, I want her.
15:34Good.
15:35You're coming home with us.
15:55Dad, are you done yet?
15:57Almost.
15:58You said that five minutes ago.
15:59I think my scalp just filed for divorce.
16:08Wait, is this actually how you dry your daughter's hair?
16:11Why not?
16:11Strong airflow, fast results.
16:13Let me do it.
16:16Watch.
16:16Use a lower temperature so you don't burn her.
16:32What are you doing?
16:34You still love him?
16:36Of course not.
16:37Then why are you still wearing it?
16:38Trash like that doesn't belong on your hand.
16:55You're not afraid of me?
16:59I should be.
17:01Everyone says you're a monster.
17:03That you feel nothing.
17:05That killing means nothing to you.
17:07And what do you think?
17:09A real monster wouldn't use a vacuum cleaner to dry his daughter's hair.
17:13I can prove it.
17:15Last time he used the leaf blower.
17:18Maya.
17:20Living room.
17:21We need to talk.
17:32You're good with kids.
17:33Have any of your own?
17:35No.
17:35I spent a couple years helping raise my ex-husband's niece.
17:39Guess I picked up a few things.
17:42Divorced.
17:44Walked away with nothing.
17:45Why?
17:46He decided my background didn't match his success anymore.
17:50Then he's a complete idiot.
17:52Take a look.
17:55This is...
17:56Courts next month.
17:57My in-laws are suing for custody.
17:59They want to take Maya away.
18:01They think a mob boss shouldn't be raising a child.
18:08So, you need a wife?
18:10More accurately, Maya needs a mother.
18:15One year.
18:16Marry me for one year.
18:18You'll take care of Maya.
18:20Attend the events that matter.
18:21Help me win custody.
18:24I did my homework.
18:26You're kind, patient, and most importantly...
18:30My daughter likes you.
18:32If I say yes, what exactly are we?
18:35Business partners.
18:36Nothing more.
18:37You take care of Maya.
18:38I protect you.
18:39That's it.
18:40I won't fall in love with you.
18:42Perfect.
18:43Neither will I.
18:45Thanks.
18:49Pleasure doing business.
18:52Likewise.
18:53In return, $200,000 a month.
18:56Pick any room in the estate.
18:57After one year, we'll divorce.
18:59I'll add another $5 million.
19:00That's way too much.
19:01Take it.
19:02You're marrying the most dangerous man in Chicago.
19:05Consider it hazard pay.
19:06And let's get one thing straight.
19:08The moment you sign that agreement and become my wife,
19:11you're mine.
19:12If anyone lays a hand on what's mine,
19:14I'll teach them exactly what regret feels like.
19:22Daddy, I want her.
19:24Okay.
19:24Good girl.
19:27Mrs. DeLuca, this belonged to the Don's mother.
19:30He's never given it to anyone.
19:40Have it resized.
19:42That's really not necessary.
19:43I'll just be careful.
19:44It is necessary.
19:46I'm not that fragile.
19:47Trust me, I've been treated a lot worse than-
19:48You're the second person who's ever argued with me.
19:50The first was Maya.
20:02Elaine, could you read me a bedtime story?
20:07Of course.
20:08Come here.
20:16Once upon a time, deep in the forest, there lived a little fox.
20:21And her eyes were as beautiful as amber stars.
20:27Elaine, do you know why I hated all the other women who came here?
20:31Why?
20:33Because they never played with me.
20:35They only talked to Daddy.
20:38Whenever they looked at me, they were really looking at him.
20:42But you're different.
20:46When you look at me, you actually see me.
20:53If you become my mommy, are you going to leave too?
20:57No.
20:58I won't leave.
20:59Ever.
21:02Then I'm not letting you leave either.
21:04You're my mommy now.
21:13Dawn, this is the first time she's slept this pothly in three years.
21:18Looks like she really likes Elaine.
21:20I know.
21:21Mommy.
21:23Mommy.
21:24Mommy.
21:32Mom, cookies.
21:34I want to bake a hundred today.
21:39Butter has to be soft.
21:40Flour must be sifted.
21:42No lumps.
22:07Mom, our dog Bruno looks like he's sick.
22:10Then I'll eat him.
22:12Oh no.
22:13I think I'm dying too.
22:30Don't move.
22:42Mom.
22:44Hmm?
22:45He just ate a cookie a bit.
22:46He doesn't even eat my leftover fries.
22:49So why does he eat yours?
22:53Because he's hungry.
22:55Really?
22:56Really.
22:57The flour was dry.
22:59The butter too rich.
23:00But for some reason, it tastes sweet.
23:16Mom.
23:17Did you really make this?
23:19Yeah.
23:20Do you like it?
23:31Well, well.
23:32Elaine?
23:33Didn't expect to see you here.
23:37Wow.
23:38It really is you.
23:40I thought divorce would have taken you somewhere better than this.
23:44You work here?
23:46Figures.
23:48The DeLuca family is hosting a birthday party today.
23:50I heard they pay their staff well.
23:52Lucky you.
23:53I thought you died in that rainy night.
24:00This is yours?
24:02Poor people really have no taste.
24:06Don't touch it.
24:08Why?
24:09What, does Miss Delanche even like this cheap thing?
24:12And got the little princess fooled.
24:15What's next?
24:16Planning to sleep your way into the master's bed?
24:19She's my mom!
24:23Five years.
24:24I worked three jobs to put William through business school.
24:27Today's his birthday and our fifth wedding anniversary.
24:34What the hell are you doing?
24:37On our anniversary?
24:38You're screwing my best friend?
24:40Wow.
24:41Cheap.
24:42But I guess I should thank you.
24:44You delivered Gina right to me.
24:46Now get the hell out of my house!
24:58Five years.
24:59And I'm down to 38 bucks.
25:06Do it, Elaine.
25:08You've got nothing.
25:09No money.
25:10No home.
25:11You can't even save yourself.
25:14Come on!
25:16Come on!
25:21Daddy!
25:34It's okay.
25:35Daddy's here.
25:53You saved her.
25:55She...
25:55She needed help.
25:57I couldn't just walk away.
25:58Daddy, I want her.
26:00Good.
26:01You're coming home with us.
26:04You saved her.
26:21Dad, are you done yet?
26:23Almost.
26:24You said that five minutes ago.
26:26I think my scalp just filed for divorce.
26:34Wait, is this actually how you dry your daughter's hair?
26:37Why not?
26:37Strong airflow, fast results.
26:39Let me do it.
26:42Watch.
26:42Use a lower temperature so you don't burn her.
26:58What are you doing?
27:00You still love him?
27:02Of course not.
27:03Then why are you still wearing it?
27:05Trash like that doesn't belong on your hand.
27:22You're not afraid of me?
27:26I should be.
27:27Everyone says you're a monster.
27:29That you feel nothing.
27:31That killing means nothing to you.
27:33And what do you think?
27:35A real monster wouldn't use a vacuum cleaner to dry his daughter's hair.
27:40I can prove it.
27:41Last time he used the leaf blower.
27:44Maya.
27:46Living room.
27:47We need to talk.
27:58You're good with kids.
27:59Have any of your own?
28:01No.
28:02I spent a couple years helping raise my ex-husband's niece.
28:05Guess I picked up a few things.
28:08Divorced.
28:10Walked away with nothing.
28:11Why?
28:13He decided my background didn't match his success anymore.
28:16Then he's a complete idiot.
28:19Take a look.
28:21This is...
28:22Courts next month.
28:23My in-laws are suing for custody.
28:25They want to take Maya away.
28:27They think a mob boss shouldn't be raising a child.
28:35So, you need a wife?
28:36More accurately.
28:38Maya needs a mother.
28:41One year.
28:42Marry me for one year.
28:44You'll take care of Maya.
28:46Attend the events that matter.
28:47Help me win custody.
28:50I did my homework.
28:52You're kind, patient, and most importantly...
28:56My daughter likes you.
28:58If I say yes, what exactly are we?
29:01Business partners.
29:02Nothing more.
29:04You take care of Maya.
29:05I protect you.
29:06That's it.
29:06I won't fall in love with you.
29:08Perfect.
29:09Neither will I.
29:15Pleasure doing business.
29:18Likewise.
29:19In return...
29:20$200,000 a month.
29:22Pick any room in the estate.
29:24After one year, we'll divorce.
29:25I'll add another 5 million.
29:26That's way too much!
29:27Take it.
29:28You're marrying the most dangerous man in Chicago.
29:31Consider it hazard pay.
29:33And let's get one thing straight.
29:34The moment you sign that agreement and become my wife,
29:37you're mine.
29:38If anyone lays a hand on what's mine,
29:40I'll teach them exactly what regret feels like.
29:43I'll teach them exactly what regret feels like.
29:48Daddy, I want her.
29:50Okay.
29:51Good girl.
29:53Mrs. DeLuca, this belonged to the Don's mother.
29:56He's never given it to anyone.
30:06Have it resized.
30:07That's really not necessary.
30:09I'll just be careful.
30:10It is necessary.
30:12I'm not that fragile.
30:13Trust me, I've been treated a lot worse than...
30:14You're the second person who's ever argued with me.
30:17The first was Maya.
30:28Elaine?
30:29Could you...
30:30read me a bedtime story?
30:33Of course.
30:34Come here.
30:42Once upon a time, deep in the forest, there lived a little fox.
30:48And her eyes were as beautiful as amber stars.
30:53Elaine, do you know why I hated all the other women who came here?
30:58Why?
31:00Because they never played with me.
31:02They only talked to Daddy.
31:04Whenever they looked at me, they were really looking at him.
31:08But you're different.
31:12When you look at me, you actually see me.
31:19If you become my mommy, are you going to leave too?
31:23No.
31:24I won't leave.
31:26Ever.
31:28Then I'm not letting you leave either.
31:30You're my mommy now.
31:32No.
31:40Don, this is the first time she's slept this pothly in three years.
31:44Looks like she really likes Elaine.
31:46I know.
31:48Mommy.
31:58Mom, cookies!
32:00I want to bake a hundred today.
32:05Butter has to be soft.
32:07Flour must be sifted.
32:08No lumps.
32:33Mom, our dog Bruno looks like he's sick.
32:36Then I'll eat him.
32:39Oh no!
32:40I think I'm dying too.
32:41Hehehehe.
32:56Don't move.
33:08Mom.
33:10Hmm?
33:11He just ate a cookie a bit.
33:12He doesn't even eat my leftover fries.
33:15So why does he eat yours?
33:19Because he's hungry.
33:21Really?
33:23Really?
33:24The flour was dry.
33:25The butter too rich.
33:27But for some reason, it tastes sweet.
33:42Mom.
33:43Did you really make this?
33:45Yeah.
33:46Do you like it?
33:57Well, well.
33:59Elaine?
34:00Didn't expect to see you here.
34:03Wow.
34:04It really is you.
34:06I thought divorce would have taken you somewhere better than this.
34:10You work here?
34:13Figures.
34:14The DeLuca family is hosting a birthday party today.
34:16I heard they pay their staff well.
34:18Lucky you.
34:19I thought you died in that rainy night.
34:26This is yours?
34:28Poor people really have no taste.
34:32Don't touch it.
34:34Why?
34:35What, does Miss Delanche even like this cheap thing?
34:38Hehehehe.
34:39Even got the little princess fooled.
34:41What's next?
34:42Planning to sleep your way into the master's bed?
34:45He's my mom!
34:51In the year when I most longed for a handsome face, I found an amnesiac man while gathering
34:55herbs on Silvermoon Mountain.
34:56Taking advantage of his injury and memory loss, I persuaded him to marry me.
35:00He agreed gladly.
35:02On our wedding night, candlelight flickered.
35:05Drunk and bleary-eyed, I looked at him, a faint blush rose on his cheeks.
35:08When he lowered his head to kiss me, raindrops began to fall softly outside the window.
35:12In the second month after the wedding, he suddenly regained his memory.
35:16He said he was the heir of the Bloodmoon family, that his house controlled the blood crystal
35:20mines, and asked me to go back with him.
35:22I went with him to the capital, but then I overheard a conversation between him and his mother,
35:27and learned the truth.
35:28Three months earlier, while gathering herbs, I passed a stream in the forest and saw a
35:32man lying among the rocks, a hideous sword wound on his back, the water stained red with
35:36blood.
35:36His skin was pale as moonlight, and the silver threads on his rope gleamed coldly in the sun.
35:41He was more beautiful than all the men I had ever seen put together.
35:44I went up to check his breath.
35:46He was alive, so I carried him home on my back.
35:49I tended him without rest for three days.
35:51I made him a blood-staunching broth, a recipe my mother taught me.
35:54But with the same herbs, mine worked faster than others.
35:57The villagers called me a born healer.
36:00Before she died, my mother also said,
36:04Saren, remember, humans have the prophet's prophecy.
36:08Neither wolf nor vampire dare harm you.
36:11But still be careful of them.
36:13I didn't understand then.
36:15I would later.
36:16On the third morning, he finally woke.
36:18The first words he spoke were,
36:20Where is this?
36:21Who am I?
36:22He had amnesia.
36:24I thought about lying, telling him I was his wife.
36:26After all, with a face like his, it wouldn't be a bad deal to have him as a husband.
36:32But my conscience wouldn't allow it, so I told the truth.
36:36My name is Saren.
36:37This is my home.
36:38You were hurt, and I saved you.
36:42Since you can't remember your name, I'll call you Nyx.
36:45Just rest now.
36:46Names don't matter.
36:47He looked down at his bandage wound and nodded.
36:49The days he spent recovering at my home were unexpectedly lovely.
36:53After he healed a little, he began helping me with chores,
36:56sweeping the yard, mending the fence, drying my herbs.
36:59He could even identify some plants I wasn't sure about.
37:01It smells like...
37:03I think I've seen it before.
37:04Watching him sit by the window sorting my herbs made me feel warm inside.
37:07When I changed his bandages,
37:09my fingers accidentally brushed the edge of his wound.
37:12It seemed to shrink a little.
37:14I rubbed my eyes, thinking it was just the candlelight.
37:17Then I noticed that wherever I touched,
37:19the redness faded unusually fast.
37:21I sat down opposite him, my cheeks warm.
37:23Nyx, shall we get married?
37:26A flash of red light crossed his pupils, then vanished.
37:29Yes.
37:29Yes.
37:32Overjoyed, I dug out the six gold coins my mother had left me from under the bed.
37:36A simple wedding was enough.
37:37The village priest held the ceremony, and everyone came to the feast.
37:41That night, a little drunk, I looked at him and said,
37:43Marrying you is the luckiest thing.
37:45He cupped my face in his hands,
37:47his light-colored eyes reflecting the candle flames.
37:49I feel the same.
37:51When I woke the next morning, I was not tired at all.
37:53Turning to look at him,
37:55I saw the edges of the wounds on his back glowing faintly with a pale green light.
37:58Days passed quickly.
38:00Every day, I went up the mountain to gather herbs,
38:02then returned to treat patients in the village or town.
38:05He stayed home, repairing the house.
38:07I thought life would go on like that forever.
38:09Until one day, when I came back from gathering herbs,
38:12I saw two strangers in black robes standing in my yard.
38:17Their skin was pale, their pupils reddish,
38:19and thin swords hung at their belts.
38:21My heart jumped.
38:22I thought the men who had injured him had come for revenge.
38:24He had already remembered his name, Dorian,
38:26and was standing by the little table where we usually ate together.
38:29The black-robed men knelt on one knee facing him.
38:32What's going on?
38:33I walked to Dorian's side and lowered my voice.
38:35Are these people here to cause you trouble?
38:37He looked at me with a complicated emotion in his light-colored eyes
38:40that I had never seen before.
38:41Saren, my memory has returned.
38:43His memory had returned.
38:45I thought of the first day we met,
38:47the fine silver thread on his robes,
38:48the faint ring mark on his finger,
38:50the mark of a family crest-worn for years.
38:52He was no ordinary man.
38:53What had he remembered?
38:55Did he already have a wife?
38:57If his family was noble, would they accept me as his wife?
39:00Flustered, I asked,
39:01Then, what will you do now?
39:04Will you come back with me to the capital?
39:08Before, I didn't know who I was,
39:10and I couldn't repay you for saving my life.
39:11Now that I remember,
39:14come with me, alright?
39:17He remembered where he came from,
39:19that he was not yet married,
39:20and he said he wanted me as his wife.
39:22I was more than willing.
39:23Dorian's full name was Dorian Blood Moon.
39:25The Blood Moon family,
39:27the wealthiest vampire nobles on the continent,
39:29who had controlled the blood crystal mines for generations.
39:31His mother gave birth to him when she was over 400 years old.
39:35He was cherished like a jewel,
39:36spoilt since childhood.
39:37During the two months he was missing,
39:39the family spent fortunes hiring all manner of forces to find him.
39:42Listening to him tell me this,
39:44I felt a little envious.
39:45Your family really loves you.
39:47My mother had loved me very much too.
39:50She had been the best healer in the village,
39:51but she died when I was 12.
39:53Before she fell ill,
39:54she left me her medicine chest and a pack of seeds.
39:57These are moonshadow flower seeds.
40:00When they bloom, you will know who you are.
40:02I always thought it was just her ravings.
40:06Because Dorian hadn't fully healed,
40:08we spent several days on the road before reaching the capital.
40:11One night we stopped in the wilderness,
40:12moonlight flooded the plains.
40:14Dorian stood under the moon,
40:15and from his back unfolded a pair of wings,
40:17bat-like,
40:18their membranes dark red in the moonlight.
40:20He reached out his hand to me,
40:21and I took it.
40:22He lifted me into the night sky.
40:24The wind roared in my ears as the sun sank below the horizon,
40:27darkness fell,
40:28and one by one the stars appeared.
40:30Half a day later,
40:31the carriage stopped before a great manor.
40:33Looking at the gate carved with the blood moon crest,
40:35I felt a sudden unease.
40:36As soon as the carriage stopped,
40:38an elderly woman came out,
40:40followed by four servants.
40:41Her eyes filled with tears at the sight of Dorian.
40:44Young lord, you've finally returned.
40:46My lady has nearly wept her eyes out.
40:48How thin you've become.
40:50The crowd surrounded Dorian as he walked inside.
40:52I followed,
40:53pushed to the back.
40:55Dorian didn't look back once.
40:56Once inside the manor,
40:58Dorian was taken to see his mother.
40:59I was randomly placed in a secluded room and forgotten.
41:02About half an hour later,
41:04a servant called me.
41:05Miss,
41:06my lady requests your presence at dinner.
41:08I followed him into a hall ten times larger than my home.
41:13On the main seat sat a strikingly beautiful woman who looked barely thirty,
41:16vampires aged very slowly.
41:18Mother, this is Seren.
41:20She saved my life.
41:21I stepped forward and greeted her.
41:23Good day, my lady.
41:24Her expression was cold.
41:25Her eyes scanned me from head to toe,
41:27like she was appraising a worthless object.
41:30Seren,
41:30thank you for saving my son.
41:32This meal is a token of thanks,
41:34so please don't stand on ceremony.
41:36Not a family dinner,
41:37a thank you.
41:38I looked at Dorian,
41:39but he looked away.
41:40Dorian and I were married two months ago.
41:42You needn't thank me.
41:43A flicker of unease crossed Lady Bloodman's face,
41:46then she forced a smile.
41:47You jest.
41:48In our clan,
41:49marriage requires approval of the family council.
41:51Not to mention that my son had lost his memory,
41:54even if he hadn't.
41:55Without the family's consent,
41:57the union is invalid.
41:59But he was willing.
42:01Our wedding was witnessed by a priest.
42:04Her false smile finally broke.
42:06Dorian has been betrothed since childhood
42:08to the Crimson family,
42:10one of the twelve noble bloodlines.
42:13His fiancée is Evangeline Crimson,
42:15daughter of the council's chief.
42:18How can a common herb grather like you compare to her?
42:21But we...
42:22I finished.
42:23She lifted a crystal glass,
42:25sipped a red liquid,
42:26cut me off,
42:26and rose to leave.
42:27Dorian glanced at me,
42:29hesitated,
42:29and chased after her.
42:31I looked at the untouched feast on the table,
42:33picked up a metal fork,
42:34and began to eat.
42:40In the year when I most longed for a handsome face,
42:42I found an amnesiac man while gathering herbs
42:44on Silvermoon Mountain.
42:45Taking advantage of his injury and memory,
42:47loss,
42:47I persuaded him to marry me.
42:49He agreed gladly.
42:50On our wedding night,
42:52candlelight flickered.
42:53Drunk and bleary-eyed,
42:54I looked at him,
42:55a faint blush rose on his cheeks.

42:59raindrops began to fall softly outside the window.

44:23so I told the truth.
44:25My name is Saren.
44:26This is my home.
44:27You were hurt,
44:28and I saved you.
44:30Since you can't remember your name,
44:32I'll call you Nyx.
44:33Just rest now.
44:35Names don't matter.
44:36He looked down at his bandage wound and nodded.
44:38The days he spent recovering at my home
44:40were unexpectedly lovely.
44:41After he healed a little,
44:43he began helping me with chores,
44:44sweeping the yard,
44:45mending the fence,
44:46drying my herbs.
44:47He could even identify some plants
44:49I wasn't sure about.
44:50It smells like,
44:51I think I've seen it before.
44:53Watching him sit by the window sorting my herbs
44:55made me feel warm inside.
44:56When I changed his bandages,
44:58my fingers accidentally brushed the edge of his wound.
45:01It seemed to shrink a little.
45:02I rubbed my eyes,
45:04thinking it was just the candlelight.
45:06Then I noticed that wherever I touched,
45:07the redness faded unusually fast.
45:10I sat down opposite him,
45:11my cheeks warm.
45:12Nyx,
45:13shall we get married?
45:14A flash of red light crossed his pupils,
45:16then vanished.
45:17Yes.
45:20Overjoyed,
45:21I dug out the six gold coins
45:22my mother had left me from under the bed.
45:24A simple wedding was enough.
45:26The village priest held the ceremony,
45:28and everyone came to the feast.
45:29That night,
45:30a little drunk,
45:31I looked at him and said,
45:32Marrying you is the luckiest thing.
45:34He cupped my face in his hands,
45:36his light-colored eyes reflecting the candle flames.
45:38I feel the same.
45:39When I woke the next morning,
45:41I was not tired at all.
45:42Turning to look at him,
45:43I saw the edges of the wounds on his back glowing faintly with a pale green light.
45:47Days passed quickly.
45:48Every day I went up the mountain to gather herbs,
45:51then returned to treat patients in the village or town.
45:53He stayed home,
45:55repairing the house.
45:56I thought life would go on like that forever.
45:58Until one day,
45:59when I came back from gathering herbs,
46:01I saw two strangers in black robes standing in my yard.
46:05Their skin was pale,
46:07their pupils reddish,
46:08and thin swords hung at their belts.
46:09My heart jumped.
46:10I thought the men who had injured him had come for revenge.
46:13He had already remembered his name,
46:14Dorian,
46:15and was standing by the little table where we usually ate together.
46:18The black-robed men knelt on one knee facing him.
46:20What's going on?
46:21I walked to Dorian's side and lowered my voice.
46:24Are these people here to cause you trouble?
46:26He looked at me with a complicated emotion in his light-colored eyes that I had never seen before.
46:30Saren,
46:30my memory has returned.
46:32His memory had returned.
46:34I thought of the first day we met,
46:35the fine silver thread on his robes,
46:37the faint ring mark on his finger,
46:38the mark of a family crest worn for years.
46:40He was no ordinary man.
46:42What had he remembered?
46:44Did he already have a wife?
46:45If his family was noble,
46:47would they accept me as his wife?
46:48Flustered,
46:49I asked,
46:50Then,
46:52what will you do now?
46:53Will you come back with me to the capital?
46:55Before,
46:57I didn't know who I was,
46:58and I couldn't repay you for saving my life.
47:01Now that I remember,
47:02come with me,
47:03alright?
47:06He remembered where he came from,
47:07that he was not yet married,
47:08and he said he wanted me as his wife.
47:10I was more than willing.
47:12Dorian's full name was Dorian Bloodmoon.
47:14The Bloodmoon family,
47:15the wealthiest vampire nobles on the continent,
47:17who had controlled the blood crystal mines for generations.
47:20His mother gave birth to him when she was over 400 years old.
47:23He was cherished like a jewel,
47:25spoilt since childhood.
47:26During the two months he was missing,
47:28the family spent fortunes hiring all manner of forces to find him.
47:31Listening to him tell me this,
47:33I felt a little envious.
47:34Your family really loves you.
47:36My mother had loved me very much too.
47:38She had been the best healer in the village,
47:40but she died when I was 12.
47:42Before she fell ill,
47:43she left me her medicine chest and a packet of seeds.
47:46These are moonshadow flower seeds.
47:48When they bloom,
47:49you will know who you are.
47:50I always thought it was just her ravings.
47:55Because Dorian hadn't fully healed,
47:57we spent several days on the road before reaching the capital.
47:59One night we stopped in the wilderness,
48:01moonlight flooded the plains.
48:03Dorian stood under the moon,
48:04and from his back unfolded a pair of wings,
48:06bat-like,
48:07their membranes dark red in the moonlight.
48:08He reached out his hand to me,
48:10and I took it.
48:11He lifted me into the night sky.
48:13The wind roared in my ears as the sun sank below the horizon,
48:16darkness fell,
48:17and one by one the stars appeared.
48:18Half a day later,
48:19the carriage stopped before a great manor.
48:21Looking at the gate carved with the blood moon crest,
48:24I felt a sudden unease.
48:25As soon as the carriage stopped,
48:27an elderly woman came out,
48:28followed by four servants.
48:30Her eyes filled with tears at the sight of Dorian.
48:32Young lord,
48:33you finally returned.
48:34My lady has nearly wept her eyes out.
48:37How thin you've become.
48:38The crowd surrounded Dorian as he walked inside.
48:41I followed,
48:42pushed to the back.
48:43Dorian didn't look back once.
48:45Once inside the manor,
48:46Dorian was taken to see his mother.
48:48I was randomly placed in a secluded room and forgotten.
48:51About half an hour later,
48:53a servant called me.
48:54Miss,
48:54my lady requests your presence at dinner.
48:57I followed him into a hall ten times larger than my home.
49:01On the main seat sat a strikingly beautiful woman who looked barely thirty,
49:05vampires aged very slowly.
49:07Mother,
49:07this is Seren.
49:08She saved my life.
49:09I stepped forward and greeted her.
49:12Good day,
49:12my lady.
49:13Her expression was cold.
49:14Her eyes scanned me from head to toe,
49:16like she was appraising a worthless object.
49:18Seren,
49:19thank you for saving my son.
49:21This meal is a token of thanks,
49:22so please don't stand on ceremony.
49:24Not a family dinner,
49:25a thank you.
49:26I looked at Dorian,
49:27but he looked away.
49:29Dorian and I were married two months ago.
49:31You needn't thank me.
49:32A flicker of unease crossed Lady Bloodman's face,
49:34then she forced a smile.
49:35You jest.
49:36In our clan,
49:38marriage requires approval of the family council.
49:40Not to mention that my son had lost his memory,
49:43even if he hadn't.
49:44Without the family's consent,
49:46the union is invalid.
49:48But he was willing.
49:50Our wedding was witnessed by a priest.
49:52Her false smile finally broke.
49:54Dorian has been betrothed since childhood
49:57to the Crimson family,
49:59one of the twelve noble bloodlines.
50:01His fiancée is Evangeline Crimson,
50:04daughter of the council's chief.
50:06How can a common herb grather like you compare to her?
50:09But we...
50:10I finished.
50:12She lifted a crystal glass,
50:13sifted a red liquid,
50:14cut me off,
50:15and rose to leave.
50:16Dorian glanced at me,
50:17hesitated,
50:18and chased after her.
50:20I looked at the untouched feast on the table,
50:22picked up a metal fork,
50:23and began to eat.
50:24I did a little tuck
50:24The middle and the minuscule
50:25and the minuscule
50:25And I was going to have to
50:26maintain a bit of the final
50:26And then you get to know
