00:00Seeing my supposedly a dead fiancé from five years ago, I never expected it would be like this.
00:06Through the crack of the private party room door, I watched him lounging on the central sofa,
00:12his hands gripping his first love's waist. As they pressed tightly together, Marjorie's
00:18cheeks were flushed as she melted into his embrace, playfully protesting.
00:24Oh my god, I surrender. You're suffocating me. You're such a savage. I'm not talking to you
00:32anymore. Alexander buried his face in the crook of her neck.
00:36This is savage. Funny, because last night someone was begging me to go harder.
00:41The party erupted in even louder jeers. Everyone making increasingly risque jokes.
00:47Someone ribbed him.
00:48Five years? Man, your fiancé really doesn't care anymore?
00:54Alexander leaned back lazily against the leather sofa, shrugging with casual indifference.
01:00Care? Of course she cares. I just haven't had enough fun yet. Once Marjorie and I tie the knot,
01:07I'll naturally recover my memory and come back from the dead.
01:11Everyone knows that woman loves you.
01:13Without an ounce of dignity, she's basically a crazed stalker if she knew you were alive.
01:20She'd probably do what she did five years ago. Kneel in front of the church for three days in a
01:25blizzard, praying to God for your safety. Just thinking about her pathetic desperation makes
01:31me laugh. I heard she's been miserable abroad these five years. Without you, she's practically a
01:38walking corpse. The laughter in the room threatened to blow the roof off. I was about to leave when
01:45someone with sharp eyes spotted me. Hey, isn't that Elizabeth? Timothy, the guy who'd been laughing
01:52at me the loudest. And Alexander's supposed best friend, now tried awkwardly to explain.
01:59Well, he's alive. We didn't tell you because he lost his memory and has someone else now. We were
02:06afraid you couldn't handle the shock. Yeah, exactly. We all know Alex loves you deep down.
02:13But he's forgotten you. Even if you make a scene now, he'll just think you're crazy.
02:18Before I could speak, Alexander let out a mocking laugh.
02:22So I hear you the fiancé, who loves me to the extreme.
02:26He glanced contemptuously at my minimalist outfit, his face full of disgust.
02:31Without me, how did you end up looking like such a wreck? Are you really that desperate for me?
02:36Alexander was exactly the same arrogant and insufferably conceited. After five years apart,
02:43seeing that subtle smugness in his expression, I felt none of the attraction I once had.
02:49Only revulsion remained. I'd just gotten off a plane and was still jet-lagged. I'd only come to this hotel
02:56because their kitchen made my daughter's favorite strawberry mousse. Seeing my silence,
03:02he lazily pulled his lover closer and gave her a brief but passionate French kiss.
03:08Right in front of me, when they separated, both their lips bore traces of their intimate moment.
03:15Oh, you're so bad. Your sister is watching.
03:18Marjorie said with feigned shyness. I pressed my lips together, feeling physically sick.
03:24Alexander misread my expression, his eyes lighting up with pleasure.
03:29Afraid? Don't be. You'll be my mistress from now on. If she still wants to stick around,
03:35she'll have to get used to this arrangement.
03:37He raised an eyebrow at me.
03:39For old times' sake. Waiting for me all these five years.
03:43I'll keep you in an Upper East Side apartment. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I'll spend with her.
03:49Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays I'll visit you. And Sundays? You can come serve us both.
03:56The crowd immediately chimed in to support him.
03:59See? Even with amnesia, he hasn't forgotten his love for you. He's still giving you three days a week.
04:06I pressed my lips together, feeling another wave of nausea. Seeing my continued silence,
04:12He lazily pulled Marjorie closer again. Right in front of me. He gave her another brief,
04:19but heated French kiss. When they broke apart, both their lips were marked with traces of their
04:25passion. Her hand slid down his abdomen. And he groaned as their bodies pressed even closer together.
04:32Marjorie clung tightly to Alexander's arm. Like she was marking her territory.
04:36Looking at me provocatively. Sorry sis. I don't want it to be this way either.
04:43But he only loves me now. I guess you'll just have to settle for being a mistress in the shadows.
04:49Being a mistress is nothing. Alexander added confidently.
04:54She can't live without me. She'd die for me without hesitation.
04:58Something sharp pricked at my heart. Five years ago, during that car accident. He'd used his body
05:05as a shield to protect me. In what he thought were his final moments. He'd gripped my trembling,
05:12terrified hand and whispered weakly over and over. Don't be afraid, honey. I'm tough,
05:17I won't die. I promised you. I'll be your guardian angel forever. No one can hurt you.
05:22Could someone who loved me that much? Really become so unrecognizable? Just from memory loss?
05:29Swallowing the bitterness in my throat. I took a deep breath and smiled slightly.
05:35Excuse me, you've got the wrong person. I raised my hand. Showing my ring.
05:41Besides, I'm already married. After a few seconds of stunned silence. The room erupted in explosive
05:48laughter. Alexander raised an eyebrow dismissively. Married? To a janitor or a homeless guy? You
05:56don't seriously think? That lame excuse would make me jealous. Do you? Are you brain damaged?
06:02He grabbed my wrist and roughly yanked the ring from my finger. Before I could react. I winced in pain,
06:09about to protest. When Marjorie giggled. Isn't that ring the eternal love? That Uncle Arthur bought
06:16at Sotheby's. For 200 million five years ago? You're not trying to say you married Uncle Arthur
06:24and became our aunt, are you? This sent everyone into even louder laughter. Everyone knew the current
06:30head of the Carter family was Alexander's uncle, Arthur Carter. Though only five years older than
06:37Alexander, he was a Wall Street Titan, whose name commanded respect, handsome and wealthy,
06:44and he completely devoted to his wife. Married for five years. The reason why no one had even seen his
06:52wife and daughter is that he kept them completely protected. You're not seriously claiming to be
06:58Arthur's mysterious wife. But he's hidden for five years, are you? Someone held up the ring mockingly.
07:06I'll give you this. It's a pretty good fake. Must have cost you quite a bit. You really went all
07:13out
07:13to fool people. Faced with everyone's skepticism and mockery. I tried to explain helplessly.
07:19This isn't a fake. The ring is real. Before I could finish. A vicious slap came out of nowhere.
07:27The burning pain exploding across my cheek. Are you fucking insane? Of all people to drag in this.
07:33Alex. You pick my uncle. Everyone knows my uncle worships his wife. You think he wants secondhand
07:39goods. That even I don't want. I hate women like you who lie constantly. Just to make me jealous.
07:45I must have been blind. To ever fall for someone like you. I held my cheek and slowly turned my
07:51head.
07:52Perhaps my gaze was too calm. Because Alexander suddenly looked away guiltily. But Marjorie wouldn't
07:59let it go. Alex lost his memory. And he's still willing to make you his mistress. Instead of being
08:07grateful you try to hurt him. You know Uncle Arthur adores his wife. Yet you dare impersonate Alex's aunt.
08:15You're not just selfish. You're evil. Marjorie was my stepfather's daughter. Seven days after my father's
08:23funeral. My mother forced me to accept this stepsister. Who was a year younger than me. She was like a
08:30ghost.
08:31Unable to tolerate any happiness in my life. What she could steal. She stole. What she couldn't steal.
08:38She destroyed. Five years ago. Alexander had stood in front of me like a hero. Coldly rebuking Marjorie.
08:47Now. The same man stood protecting Marjorie. His face full of disdain. As he pulled a stack of bills
08:54from his wallet. And threw them at me. All this performance for money. Right? Pick it up.
09:00The sharp edges of the bills cut my forehead. Tiny drops of blood appeared. And though I didn't wipe
09:06them away. I caught a flicker of barely concealed concern. In Alexander's eyes. The next second.
09:13I bent down. He immediately relaxed. Laughing mockingly. That's more like it. If you can be a
09:21dog. Act like one. From among the scattered green bills. I picked up the ring. That had been thrown
09:28in the corner. Alexander stared at me in disbelief. Panic rising inexplicably in his chest. As I prepared
09:36to leave. He suddenly grabbed my hand. Getting addicted to the act? Isn't there enough money here?
09:43To buy 10 of your fake rings. Sleep with me here. And I'll buy you 10 of those cheap rings.
09:49He pulled me onto the sofa. And pressed his body over mine. Pinning my wrists above my head with
09:55one hand. I didn't understand. Why he suddenly panicked. Let go of me. He glared at me through
10:03clenched teeth. You really won't cry until. You see the coffin. Huh. Alright. Marjorie and I
10:10are getting married in a week. And my uncle will be back. From Europe that day. You should
10:16come too. So my uncle can see for himself. How shameless you are. This piece of trash
10:23I tossed aside. When Marjorie heard. About the wedding. The joy on her face. Couldn't be
10:30hidden. Sis. Don't tell me you're too scared to come. Because you're afraid we'll expose
10:37you. I carefully placed the ring into my bag. And replied indifferently. Alright. I'll come
10:44dot. I hope you won't regret it. I stopped for a few minutes at the door after leaving the
10:49private room. Timothy sighed. Alex. Are you sure? This isn't going to backfire. I don't know.
10:57But Elizabeth seems off. Could she have really gotten married? Impossible. Alexander's voice was
11:04certain. She's just acting. Look at her pitiful face. She's still mine. All I have to do is snap
11:11my fingers. Thinking about the calm look I had when I left. He unconsciously pressed his lips together.
11:17I'm done playing. After the wedding. I'll regain my memory. Then I'll tell her I love
11:23her the most. And she'll come crawling back to me. Like a dog. Wagging her tail.
11:29Alex. You're truly the master of love. With just one memory loss. You've lived freely for
11:35five years. And made Elizabeth wait for you. Without complaint. Marjorie pouted. Alex. What
11:43am I going to do? Once you regain your memory? Alexander pinched her waist. Same as before.
11:50And besides. Isn't cheating even more thrilling? I silently listened. My heart is cold as ice.
11:58I quickly walked toward the hotel exit. Taking a few deep breaths of the cold air to suppress the
12:03nausea in my chest. What Alexander didn't know was that five years ago. The night he died in that car
12:10accident. I received a video. I opened my phone. In the video. His voice came through with a smile.
12:17I love Elizabeth. But she's too boring. Like a nun. The thought of only having her. As my wife
12:24after marriage. Makes me feel completely drained. I'll fake my death and. Go play for a few years.
12:32Then come back and say I've lost my memory. Make sure you record plenty of videos. Of her suffering.
12:39I can't wait to see. How heartbroken she'll be. On the day the doctor declared him dead. I did
12:45exactly as he wished. That kind of soul crushing despair left me unable to even cry. I thought about
12:52ending it all. But his friends desperately stopped me. I never realized that. Hidden in the shadows.
12:58A phone recorded my pain. I didn't see through their fake mourning. Their barely suppressed laughter.
13:04I put my phone away. From that day on. Alexander was dead. But in my heart. He was truly gone.
13:12The news of Alexander being alive was revealed along with his wedding announcement. Causing a huge stir.
13:19That evening. Marjorie updated her Instagram. A romantic wedding scene. A Vera Wong Haute Couture
13:26wedding dress. The eternal love. Diamond ring. All of it was what Alexander had carefully prepared
13:32for me back then. In the photos. They were holding hands tightly. With captions full of sweet.
13:38Loving words. I was about to exit the app when Alexander's text popped up. Are you going crazy?
13:45With jealousy yet? Without a second thought. I blocked and deleted him. Marjorie's message appeared
13:51immediately after. You must have seen it by now. You're just a dog we play with. Only I deserve to
13:58be Mrs. Carter. I gave her the same treatment. A week later. The wedding was held as scheduled at
14:05the St. Regis Hotel. Because my daughter Lily was being clingy. By the time I arrived at the hotel.
14:11The ceremony had already reached the exchange of rings. Alexander. Who kept glancing toward the door.
14:18Visibly relaxed when he saw me enter. He curved his lips into a smile. And when the pastor asked if
14:25he would take the bride. He deliberately hesitated for a moment. But he waited too long for my response.
14:30As I casually enjoyed the delicate pastries. His face turned cold. I didn't know who it was.
14:37But someone suddenly pushed me from behind. I wasn't prepared. And I fell straight into a nearby
14:42champagne tower. The champagne tower. Taller than a person. Collapsed with a loud crash. The liquid and
14:50shattered glass came pouring down on me. Blood trickled down from my forehead. And through my
14:55blurry vision. I seemed to see Alexander anxiously taking two steps toward me. But Marjorie rushed out
15:02ahead of him. She grabbed me tightly. Crying like a picture of sorrow. Sis. I kindly invited you to my
15:09wedding. And you're deliberately causing trouble? I know you're jealous. That Alex only loves me now.
15:18You can hit me. Curse me. Whatever. But why destroy my happiness? Are you so unable to see me happy?
15:28Marjorie was incredibly strong. And her sharp nails dug into my skin. Causing an ache that made my scalp
15:35tingle. When I instinctively tried to push her away. She suddenly screamed and fell backward. The next
15:41moment. A huge force pushed me hard and my high-heeled shoes twisted painfully. And I gasped from the pain.
15:48Looking up. I met Alexander's furious gaze. Are you like glue? I've already forgotten you. But you still
15:55want to cling to me. I've never seen such a shameless woman. Apologize to Marjorie.
16:02There were many guests present. Most of whom had come in hopes of seeing Arthur Collins today at
16:08T.O. Please Alexander. They began attacking me indiscriminately. Alex doesn't even remember you.
16:14And you're still clinging to him like a dog. How cheap. Causing a scene at someone's wedding.
16:20Can't you just let your stepsister be happy? You're truly malicious. It's a good thing. Alex didn't marry
16:27a star like you. Marjorie leaned against Alexander. Feigning panic. And pointed at my finger.
16:35Sis. I told you that Uncle Arthur. Would be here today. How dare you still wear this fake eternal love
16:43ring? Are you saying you love Alex? But secretly want to seduce my uncle? As soon as she said this.
16:51Everyone noticed the ring on my finger. Someone immediately shouted. I heard there was a woman.
16:57Who came to Mrs. Carter with a big belly. Claiming it was Alex's child. After Mrs. Carter heard.
17:03She took off this eternal love ring for a day. And the next day. The woman was found in Mexico's
17:09gray market. With a collar around her neck. Her limbs all severed. Hearing this. Alexander's face
17:16immediately darkened. Marjorie pretended to be concerned. Alex. With so many people watching.
17:23Before uncle finds out. Sis's hands can't be left unharmed. Alexander paused for two seconds before
17:31picking up a silver dinner knife from the table. I took two steps back. But his friends surrounded me on
17:37all sides. Alexander Carter. If you dare to touch me. Arthur Collins won't let you off. Sis. Don't be
17:47stubborn now. You have no idea what uncle can do. Once he comes to deal with you. It won't just
17:54be
17:54your hands. Alex only wants your hands. Cause you were once his fiance. Alexander approached me.
18:02A fleeting moment of hesitation in his eyes. I'll go easy on you. They forcibly held my hands down.
18:09And despair washed over me. I screamed in anger. My face deathly pale. Let go. My husband is Arthur
18:18Collins. Everyone looked at me as if I were mad. Alexander crouched down. I know you love me too much
18:24T. That's why you're trying to get my attention in this way. But don't say crazy things like that again.
18:30If you lose your hands. I won't mind. As the words left his lips. His hand swung the knife down.
18:37The
18:37ring. Along with my ring finger. Was cut off. I felt my vision blur from the excruciating pain.
18:43Nearly passing out. Marjorie quickly picked up the severed finger and threw it out the window.
18:48When she turned around. I caught a glimpse of her triumphant. Sinister smile through my pain filled
18:53vision. Alex that's enough. Be careful not to lose control A. Do you regain your memory?
18:59A friend couldn't help but quietly advise. Marjorie immediately interrupted.
19:04Alex uncle will be here soon. Do you really want to watch your sister get her limbs cut off?
19:11And be chained like a dog? Miss Lewis is right. No hands can be replaced with prosthetics.
19:18But it's better than losing your life. Alexander's previously wavering expression suddenly firmed up.
19:24Looking at me trembling and curled on the floor. He gritted his teeth.
19:28Elizabeth. Elizabeth. I'm doing this for your own good. I'll make it up to you later.
19:32The pain was unbearable. And tears of despair slid down my face. Just as the silvery knife was about
19:38to fall again. The door to the banquet hall suddenly burst open. Arthur Collins entered with
19:43a group of bodyguards surrounding him. He was holding a delicate little girl in his arms and eagerly
19:49looking around the banquet hall as if searching for something. Daddy, put me down. I want to find
19:55mommy. She said she'd come today. The normally cold man crouched down and gently placed her on the
20:01ground, smiling as he ruffled her little head. The bodyguards behind them immediately stood guard
20:06near the girl. Everyone in the room quickly realized that the little girl in front of them was the much
20:12disgust precious daughter that Arthur had hidden for four years, from what the girl said. It seemed
20:17that Mrs. Carter was also here today. People with a keen sense of things already began making phone
20:23calls to prepare gifts. Everyone knew that Mrs. Carter was Arthur's Achilles heel. If you could make
20:28her smile, there was no deal on Wall Street that couldn't be closed. Marjorie pushed her way through
20:34the crowd, grabbed a handful of candies from the table, and sweetly offered them to the little
20:39girl. Hey sweetie, you're so cute. Annie likes you so much. Please have some candy. The little girl
20:47frowned, glanced at her, and immediately pouted. Mommy said not to take anything from strangers,
20:54and you're smiling like someone who kidnaps kids. I don't like you. Marjorie was publicly embarrassed.
21:01She was furious but couldn't show it, forcing a smile and almost saying something when Alexander
21:07pulled her aside that he looked at Arthur, instinctively speaking with respect. Uncle you're
21:12here. Lily's here. But where's aunt? She came early. What? Haven't you seen her? Alexander was stunned.
21:20What did he mean by, haven't seen her? It sounded as if he knew this aunt personally. Before he could
21:25process this, the little girl's clear voice rang out. Mommy said when she left home, that she was
21:31coming to an old friend's wedding. Don't you recognize your own old friend? I'm better at
21:38remembering things than you. I could tell from the family photo. You're that cousin who died and came
21:45back to life. Alexander's face turned bright red with embarrassment. You're not dead so. Why did you
21:53wait five years to? Say you're alive? You're a grown man, yet you can't. Even be as honest as Lily.
22:01Five years of lying. Aren't you sh- Aren't you getting married today? Can you help me find where
22:07my mommy is? Before Alexander could respond, Marjorie quickly interjected. Sweetie, we haven't seen your
22:15mommy. But we do have a bad woman here. Pretending to be her. She's not just. Pretending to be.
22:23Your mommy. She's also pretending to wear a wedding ring. That looks like your mommy's. Trying to seduce
22:31your daddy. As soon as she said this, Arthur's expression darkened. Seeing him get angry, Marjorie
22:39grew bolder. Uncle, you don't know. How disgusting this woman is. A few days ago, she wore the same
22:47fake wedding ring you gave to Auntie. And I even warned her. You only love Auntie. But she still
22:56claimed her husband is you. How shameless can she be? Alexander furrowed his brows. And hearing
23:03Marjorie's words. He felt that something was off. And even more so. That she was meddling
23:10too much. He reached out to pull her away. But Arthur smiled. His voice cold enough to send
23:18a chill down your spine. Tell me, who is this shameless woman? She's Alex's former fiance.
23:25My sister Elizabeth King. As those words fell. The people standing behind Arthur. Immediately turned
23:33pale. But Marjorie didn't notice the shift. And continued her self-satisfied rant.
23:40Alex has amnesia now and only loves me. She's come to our wedding to stir trouble. She says
23:47she only loves Alex. But she's wearing a fake wedding ring. That looks just like yours.
23:54And Auntie's dot isn't it obvious. She's trying to seduce you? She's a toad wanting to eat
24:00swan meat. Although she's my sister. I've always known she's promiscuous. Malicious and
24:07full of jealousy. She used to bully me at home. But I endured it. But now she's pretending
24:15to. Be your beloved aunt. And I just can't take it anymore. Don't worry. We've already
24:23cut off her finger with a fake ring for you. I threw the finger out the window. So no one
24:29will ever find it. If you're still not satisfied. Feel free to beat her. Kill her. Don't worry
24:36about sparing. This niece-in-law of yours. You're nothing. How dare you think. Mr. Collins
24:43would. Spare you any face. Arthur's assistant immediately. Stepped in front of him. Quickly
24:59because I angered him. Tried to add fuel to the fire. Finally realizing something was
25:05wrong. Alexander quickly stopped her. His voice dark and full of rage. Shut up. The first
25:12to arrive was Auntie. But everyone here was someone. He had personally invited. The only exception
25:19was me. And Lily. With a face. That looked almost identical to mine. A wild, yet undeniable.
25:28Suspicion began to form in my mind. Alexander felt a crushing. Invisible force tugging at his chest.
25:36Growing heavier and heavier. No, this can't be. Get someone right now. Arthur rubbed his forehead.
25:43His expression growing. Darker by the second. Lily though small was very sharp. She had heard what
25:51was said earlier. And after understanding the situation. She began to cry fearfully.
25:58Mommy I want mommy. Arthur crouched down and held her tightly.
26:03And you can't find mommy right now. Let me calm the child down first. I'm good with kids.
26:10Marjorie stretched out her hand. But Lily with her eyes red. From crying shouted.
26:16Go away. You bad woman. You insulted my mommy. And you cut her finger. I'm going to call the police.
26:24To arrest you. With those few simple words. Everyone in the room froze. They all looked at Lily in disbelief.
26:32Marjorie had only insulted. One person. And the finger. That was cut off belonged to only one person.
26:41Almost simultaneously the guests in the room. Moved back several meters making sure to. Keep their
26:48distance from Marjorie as. If they feared being associated with her. Marjorie stood there her eyes
26:54wide with. Shock her face visibly turning pale. The assistant pushed through the crowd.
27:01Boss madam is here. I was left in the corner disoriented. With blood pooling around me.
27:07Because my wound hadn't been bandaged. Arthur crouched down his fingertips.
27:12Hovering over my deathly pale face. For a few seconds not daring to touch me.
27:18The assistant carefully spoke up. Boss I've called 911. And we've sent someone to.
27:24Find the finger. Arthur nodded then took off. His custom suit. And carefully draped it over me.
27:31When he looked up his face. Was filled with cold rage. Very well. You dare to cut. My wife's finger.
27:40Despite his calm expression. The temperature in the banquet. Hall seemed to drop by several degrees.
27:48Alexander's face turned pale. His eyes filled. With disbelief and a breakdown. He couldn't accept.
27:55Uncle you're lying right? Elizabeth can't be Annie. It must be fake. What did she promise you?
28:01That made you willing to play. Along with this act? The assistant couldn't watch any longer.
28:07Young master Alex do you think. Anyone could make Arthur Collins act. Stop deceiving yourself.
28:13Our madam is the woman. Standing in front of you. With her finger cut off. Instead of worrying about
28:19madam's. Identity you should be worrying about yourself. You've hurt madam like this now. Think
28:25about how to handle the aftermath. Marjorie saw how Arthur cherished me. And the jealousy in her
28:31heart exploded like poison spilling. Uncontrollably as she spat out. Defamatory words without thinking.
28:39Uncle don't be fooled by this bitch Elizabeth. You don't know. She's the best at pretending to be
28:46pitiful. Don't be deceived by her pure appearance. Deep down she's malicious and promiscuous. Back when she
28:55lived at home. She often brought different men back. Filthy. Before she could finish a slap.
29:03Landed hard on her face. Shut your mouth. Alexander's eyes were. Bloodshot with rage. Liz is not like that.
29:11It's you you slut who's jealous of her. And has been slandering her. It was as though Alexander had.
29:19Suddenly snapped back to reality. His eyes scanned the crowd. And he saw the person who had been stirring
29:26up trouble. In the crowd now trying to sneak away. He grabbed a wine bottle. And smashed it over the
29:33person's head. Facing the maddened Alexander. The person didn't even care about the blood.
29:40Dripping from their head and kneeled. On the floor begging for mercy. Alex it's not my fault.
29:46It's Marjorie who made me say all this. She just wanted to create panic. And attack Elizabeth.
29:53She gave me $100,000. I swear. I didn't have anything to do with it.
29:58You're talking nonsense. I don't even know you.
30:02As the truth came to light. Marjorie. Frantic. Tried to distance herself. From the situation.
30:12But the guilty. Nervous look in her eyes had. Already betrayed her. The person crawled and.
30:20Nelt in front of Arthur. Bowing repeatedly.
30:23Mr. Collins. I was wrong. I was really wrong. Please forgive me. I don't want the $100,000.
30:31I had nothing to do with this. It was all Marjorie's idea. She spread the rumors.
30:37The finger of your wife was cut by Alex. Everyone saw it. Arthur sneered.
30:42So if she wasn't my wife. It would have been fine to kill her. No. No. No. I didn't mean
30:49that.
30:49Arthur. Clearly too angry to listen further. Lifted his head. And several bodyguards immediately.
30:57Covered his mouth. Dragging the man out by force. The assistant quickly walked up. Holding the recovered
31:05finger. Boss. We found the finger. And the ambulance is outside.
31:09Only then did Arthur lift. The unconscious me. Scanning the banquet hall. As though it was filled
31:17with corpses. He turned to the assistant and spoke coldly. You stay and handle this. Let everyone know
31:24the cost of touching my wife's finger. The doors to the banquet. Hall slammed shut. And a line of
31:30towering. Bodyguards formed a barrier. No one who came in today. Would leave unharmed. When I next woke up.
31:39There was a loud argument. Outside the door. Then. The door to the hospital room. Was forcefully
31:47pushed open. Alexander. Still in his wedding suit. Dirty and disheveled. Rushed in. He held a silver
31:56cross pendant. Which seemed to have been pieced back. Together. And gazed at me with deep affection.
32:03Liz. I regained my memory. I remember everything now. I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. I made you suffer
32:12so much. Don't worry. I'm back. And I'll never leave you again. My calm gaze lingered on his face.
32:20For a moment. Before falling to the silver. Cross in his hand. That cross had been with him. On the
32:28day of
32:28the accident. Five years ago. When he was on the brink of death. In the blizzard. Despite my own severe
32:36injuries. I knelt outside the church. For three days and nights. Praying for just a sliver. Of hope for him.
32:46I clutched that cross. Fainting in the snow. Teetering on the edge of death. But he. Died. And the cross
32:54had
32:54become a joke. Crushed in a video. He'd manage to retrieve it. Even repairing it. Silver can be
33:02mended. But feelings that are shattered. They can't be fixed. Alexander. Stop pretending. I know you
33:11didn't lose your memory. I knew five years ago. The day you faked your. Death in the car crash.
33:19Alexander froze. His gaze shifting from deep affection. To panic as he hurried to grab my hand.
33:27But when he saw the finger. I had just reattached. His motion froze that he tugged. At his hair in
33:34helplessness. Then broke down. Asking frantically. So you did all this just to get back at me? To make
33:42me believe you married uncle. Just to punish me? I'm not you. I looked directly into his eyes. I've
33:49fallen in love with him. Alexander almost fled in a panic. I thought I had made myself clear. But a
33:57week
33:57after being discharged. I saw him again. At the hospital entrance. It seemed like he had been waiting
34:05for. A long time. When he saw me. He rushed toward me excitedly. But before he could touch the hem
34:13of
34:13my dress. Arthur kicked him out. He stumbled to his feet. His fiery gaze fixed on Arthur. You despicable
34:22man. You were the one. Who sent Liz that video. You did this on purpose. He screamed in rage. Liz.
34:30Arthur doesn't really love you. He's been scheming against you. He's deceived you. I furrowed my
34:36brows slightly. As I walked toward him. And just as hope rose in his eyes. I slapped him hard across
34:44the face. Does it matter who sent the video? Wasn't your faked death real? Didn't you fake
34:50amnesia? Didn't you mess around with Marjorie? Didn't you cut off my finger? Alexander. I'll say it one
34:59more time. We ended five years ago. The man I love now is Arthur. And the man I will love
35:06in the
35:06future. Will always be him. From now on. I'm your aunt. So watch your words. And don't make a fool
35:16of
35:16the Carter family. With that. I turned away. Not looking at him again. I grasped Arthur's tightening
35:24hand. Giving it a comforting squeeze. The tension in his jaw immediately eased. The next news I heard
35:32about Alexander came. Two months later. He was paralyzed. Doomed to live the rest of his life.
35:40In a wheelchair. To prove his love to God. He tried to recreate my actions from years ago.
35:48He attempted to climb a treacherous peak in Colorado during a snowstorm.
35:52Just like I had once done to pray for him. He made it up. But when it was time to
35:58come
35:58down. His legs gave way. And he tumbled down the cliff. The forest was silent. And by the
36:06time he was found. It was too late for proper treatment. I heard that. On the way to the
36:13hospital. His hand was still clutching the cross. And he mumbled.
36:18My Liz is waiting for me. We promised we'd never be apart. I didn't think much of it.
36:24Nor did I have the time to care. Because I was busy taking. Family photos. As Arthur wrapped his arm
36:33around. My waist for the picture. He said with a teasing tone. Feeling heartbroken. I chuckled.
36:40I'm more heartbroken for someone. Who's been in love for seven years. But too afraid to say it.
36:48He turned his head awkwardly. But his arms tightened around me. Our daughter. Seeing the moment.
36:56Squeezed in. Daddy. Mommy. Lily wants a kiss and a hug too. Arthur smiled. Holding one of us in each
37:04arm.
37:04The photo turned out so well. That the photographer wanted us to keep. One as a signature shot.
37:12Arthur. Who usually valued his privacy. Agreed for the first time. On the way back. I looked out the
37:20car window. And saw Marjorie. Her limbs severed. Curled up in a corner of an alley. Being beaten by a
37:29group of. Homeless men. She was muttering deliriously. I'm Mrs. Carter. You're all trash.
37:37You're not even worthy of. Shining my shoes. I covered our daughter's ears. And the man beside
37:44me stretched. Out his hand to cover mine. I glanced at his reddened ear tips. And couldn't
37:51help but remember. That diary I had accidentally discovered. I fell in love with a girl. She was
37:58Alexander's fiance. Alexander cheated. Faked his death. And pretended to have amnesia to buy
38:06more time. I know. My chance has come.
