00:00Liam Horton married me twice. The first time, I was his wife. The second time, I was his
00:06hostage. He threatened my parents with a bomb. I said yes. He moved Eleanor Sheridan and their
00:11son Theo into my home. My daughter Clary asked me why daddy never came to her room. I couldn't
00:16find the words. At the same time, Eleanor's son got sick. Liam didn't investigate, blamed it on
00:21my jealousy. He locked me in the chapel for two days and two nights. The cold chapel stole my
00:26consciousness and the last of my feelings for Liam. When I woke again, I found myself lying
00:31in my bedroom. The room was warm and a thick wool blanket covered my body and four needle
00:35was inserted into the back of my hand. While a half empty four bag hung beside the bed, Liam
00:39sat next to me, gripping my hand tightly. His sharply defined face showed clear signs of
00:43exhaustion and worry. Chrissy, you're finally awake. How do you feel? Is anything bothering
00:49you? I turned my head away, making it clear I didn't want to speak to him or even look
00:53at him. Chrissy, are you blaming me? His voice was slightly hoarse. This is on me. I've been
01:01busy taking care of the baby these past few days, so I didn't get to you. You still matter
01:05to me. I had someone watching over you in secret, and I specifically told him to report everything
01:10to me immediately, no matter how big or small. I didn't expect that useless idiot to slack
01:15off. You even frant and he didn't notice. Don't worry. Ising dealed with him. Jibbono
01:23happened again. He was still lying. Everything about taking care of the baby and arranging
01:28for someone to watch me was nothing but an excuse. He hadn't changed at all. I lowered
01:32my gaze, hiding the exhaustion in my eyes. Where's Clary? That was the only thing I said
01:37after waking up. My voice was breaking and soaked in despair. The broth she made me drink
01:44was made from my daughter. The accusation was so horrifying that Liam froze. He turned
01:49to Eleanor in disbelief. Is that true? I didn't. Eleanor cried, tears streaming down her face.
01:56It's just chicken broth. Chrissy, are you losing your mind? I'm a mother too. How could I possibly
02:03something as horrifying as cooking your daughter and feeding her to you? Claire is perfectly
02:07fine. She's at the Hortons' Manor with Madam Hortons. If you don't believe me, we can call
02:12right now and have her brought over. Without any hesitation, Liam immediately ordered someone
02:16to bring Clarissa back from the Hortons' Manor. Half an hour later, his men returned with
02:20her. Mommy! Clarissa cried as she ran straight into my arms. I froze in place. Clarissa was
02:26alive, so what had been in that mug? Realization struck me instantly, and I looked up at Eleanor.
02:30Eleanor stood behind Liam, her lips curling into a smug, satisfied smile. At that moment,
02:35I understood everything. This had been a setup from the very beginning. Eleanor had deliberately
02:39lied to provoke me, just so I would lose control in front of Liam.
02:44Christina, do you see it now? Liam's voice was ice cold.
02:48Clary is standing right here, perfectly fine. What else do you have to say?
02:52I closed my eyes. I had lost, and there was nothing left to say. Eleanor crossed her arms and wiped
02:57her tears. Looking wronged, a long gash marked her arm, which had been caused earlier when I lost
03:02control and cut her with a shard of porcelain. That injury, combined with her pitiful expression,
03:06erased the last trace of warmth in Liam's eyes and replaced it with cold, violent fury.
03:10Christina Yates, you actually made up something as insane as her cooking your daughter alive just
03:14to drive Ellie away? You've beaten her into this state, so even I can't defend you anymore.
03:19Guards, slap her a hundred times! From now on, think carefully before you speak,
03:23and make sure you know what you can and cannot say. As soon as he finished speaking,
03:27his men stepped forward, forced me to the ground, and began striking my face.
03:32After only two blows, blood seeped from the corner of my mouth.
03:38Mommy! Don't hit Mommy!
03:40Clarissa cried as she rushed forward. One of the men swung his arm without hesitation and struck
03:44Clarissa across the head. Her small body was sent flying before crashing to the ground,
03:48blood instantly seeping from her head.
03:51Clary!
03:52I struggled desperately to get up and reach my daughter, but Liam's men pinned me down so tightly
03:56that I couldn't move at all. Liam simply watched coldly.
04:00Keep going. Make sure she learns her lesson.
04:05The blows continued one after another, by the time it stopped. My face was already a bloody mess,
04:09and I couldn't even speak. Only then did Liam seem satisfied.
04:13You and Claire can stay in your room and reflect. I'll take Ellie to the hospital.
04:17With that, he left while protecting Eleanor. I crawled toward my daughter.
04:25Clary, how are you? Wake up. Don't scare me.
04:32The small body in my arms didn't move, didn't cry, and had no warmth at all. Blood slowly flowed
04:36from the wound on her head. I froze as my trembling hand reached for my daughter's pulse.
04:42There was no heartbeat. My daughter was dead.
04:47My phone suddenly rang.
04:51Chrissy, I've already sent your parents abroad and arranged new identities for them.
04:54They're safe now. Your visa is ready too.
04:57I picked it up from the post office and I'm outside your house right now. Are you coming with me?
05:01I didn't say a word.
05:02I held my daughter and walked toward the door.
05:06Outside, a black Rolls Royce was parked on the dark asphalt road.
05:10I got into the car with my daughter in my arms, then gently kissed her cold little face as tears
05:14streamed down uncontrollably.
05:16One year ago, I agreed to remarry him.
05:22Less than a year after our divorce, Liam came crawling back. He begged me to remarry him.
05:27When I refused, he had my parents abducted and strapped with explosives.
05:30Chrissy, I love you.
05:32Don't push me to the point where I have to hurt you.
05:3530 seconds. If you still won't say yes, I'll kill your parents and then I'll die with you.
05:41Unwilling to drag my parents down with me, I could only agree.
05:45After we remarried, Liam changed profoundly on our first Valentine's Day back together.
05:49He spent a fortune showering Los Angeles in rose petals.
05:52Swept up in this whirlwind of romance, I nearly believed he had truly changed.
05:56Then, one day, I went to the hospital to visit my father.
05:59I saw Liam and a doctor pushing a gurney out.
06:01The person lying on it was Eleanor Sheridan, his childhood sweetheart.
06:05Eleanor cradled a newborn in her arms.
06:07Liam, look at our son. He's so cute.
06:10Liam wrapped his arms around her gently as if she were something precious.
06:14Thank you for everything.
06:16I froze where I stood.
06:18His friends showered him with well wishes.
06:21Liam, congratulations. Your wife is truly amazing.
06:25You've got a healthy baby boy now.
06:27Liam's expression turned cold.
06:28Watch your words.
06:31My wife is Chrissy.
06:34That's exact why I can't find out.
06:36If this gets out, I will make you pay.
06:38At that moment, I pushed the door open and walked in.
06:42Liam quickly let go of Eleanor.
06:44Chrissy, what are you doing here?
06:49I smiled.
06:50I came to congratulate you on your son.
06:53Chrissy, you've misunderstood.
06:54I didn't cheat on you.
06:56Eleanor got pregnant before we remarried.
06:57I tried to force her to terminate it, but she refused.
07:00I had no choice but to hide her away.
07:01Chrissy, you have to believe me.
07:02I did have feelings for her before, but I don't anymore.
07:04You're the one I love.
07:05You're the only person I'll ever love in this lifetime.
07:08I walked up to him and slapped her.
07:10Eleanor's tears streamed down.
07:13Chrissy, I know you hate me, but the baby is innocent.
07:19Please, don't force Liam to cut ties with me.
07:22I just want my child to grow up with a father.
07:25I raised my hand again, ready to strike a second time.
07:28Liam seized my wrist meter.
07:29Chrissy, that's enough.
07:31Ellie's just gave birth.
07:32I glanced at him coldly.
07:34Didn't you just say you have no feelings for her now?
07:37Don't you just say you have no feelings for her now?
