00:00I have deeply loved Sebastian for a full eight years. Looking at the photo of Sebastian and me
00:05in my hand, I stood before the door and murmured softly,
00:09This is my last chance. This time, can I become Sebastian's fiance?
00:15At the moment I reached out and was about to open the door, I suddenly froze,
00:19because I heard Sebastian's mother questioning him with anger and disappointment.
00:22Sebastian, tell me, why for seven successive years have you secretly replaced all the slips
00:28of paper with your name on them with blank ones? You know perfectly well that if she doesn't draw
00:33your name, Eleanor can never become your fiance. Doesn't it hurt your heart to watch her cry in
00:38disappointment every year? She has been crying for seven years. One more time won't make a difference.
00:45But Lillian just came back from Switzerland and her emotions are very unstable. I promised to
00:50accompany her through her treatment for seven years. He then gave a light chuckle. Anyway,
00:56Eleanor and I have been together for eight years. Her family and friends all think we are
01:02definitely getting married. Other than waiting for me, she has no other choice. Don't worry. Next year,
01:10I will give her a very grand proposal ceremony. Consider it an explanation to her for these past few
01:16years. I think she will definitely be very satisfied with this arraignment. After saying that,
01:21he threw the slip of paper with Sebastian Ashford written on it into the paper shredder.
01:26Listen, the sound of this paper shredder is indeed much better than Eleanor's disappointed crying
01:33every year. Standing outside the door, I heard those words and stared blankly at the photo in my hand.
01:39Turns out he wasn't blind to my tears, nor was he unaware of my disappointment. These seven years of blank
01:46slips were just a joke he used to trample on my true feelings. I clearly remember the Ashford family's
01:52rules. To become Sebastian's fiancé, one must draw a slip of paper from the lottery box at the grand
01:58charity banquet. She can only become his fiancé if she draws the slip with his name on it. And for
02:03these
02:04seven years, I have tried every possible method just to be able to become his fiancé. I thought he
02:08loved me truly, so I did all this willingly. Yet the hidden truth cuts deep and hurts so much. What
02:14do all
02:15my years striving to be his fiancé count for? It's nothing but a joke. But now, my heart suddenly
02:20let go completely. I loosened my grip, letting the slip of paper in my hand fall to the ground
02:25and turned to walk away. Since your name still isn't in the box for the eighth time,
02:30then I will just marry someone else. Sebastian adjusted his cuffs and left the lounge without a
02:35care. He arrived at the banquet hall, which was filled with wealthy people in gorgeous clothes.
02:40This was the eighth gala, hosted by the Ashfords, the most powerful family in New York,
02:46to select a fiancé for their heir. He walked straight toward Lillian, who was surrounded by a
02:52group of wealthy young ladies talking. Lillian's eyes were red, looking deeply wronged, and she threw
02:58herself into his arms. They said I have no right to stand here, that I'm the one ruining the relationship
03:03between you and Eleanor. Sebastian frowned deeply, his eyes sweeping fiercely across the entire hall,
03:10finally landing on those wealthy young ladies who were gossiping. Who dares to say she has
03:15no right? The rules I, Sebastian, have set are the rules of New York's Upper East Ed High Society.
03:21Lillian is an important guest I invited. Whoever makes her unhappy, makes me unhappy. The entire hall
03:27instantly became so quiet that even breathing could be heard. In the midst of this silence, the crystal
03:32chandelier in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed by half. Only a few wall lamps gave off a faint glow.
03:38Immediately after, a beam of cold white spotlight suddenly lit up. I pushed the doors open and
03:44walked in. Every step was unhurried and composed.
04:01Those wealthy young ladies looked at me. After all, for the past seven years, I was publicly recognised by
04:06everyone as Sebastian's fiancé and the only woman he allowed to stay by his side constantly. Everyone
04:13thought I would definitely make a scene and drive Lillian away or, like the previous seven years,
04:18question him with red eyes about why he was protecting another woman. But this time, I didn't
04:24even give them half a glance. Without stopping, I walked straight toward a waiter in the banquet hall.
04:30I picked up a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray and took a small sip. The cold liquid
04:35slid down my throat, suppressing the very last bit of affection in my heart.
04:41Eleanor, aren't you going to do something about it? Someone asked me in a very low voice. I smiled,
04:47but there was not a hint of a smile in my eyes. Young Master Ashfield is standing up for a
04:52beauty.
04:52Why would I go over there and interfere? Besides, I swirled the wine glass in my hand with a bit
04:59of a
04:59spectator's look in my eyes. I'm also quite curious to see if Sebastian's name is actually in the raffle
05:06box this year. Sebastian's body instantly stiffened. He subconsciously turned to look at me,
05:12as if completely unexpected that I would have this reaction. In the past, at times like this,
05:18I would have already been crying and making a scene to drive Lillian away. But today, I was as quiet
05:24as someone entirely unconnected to this matter. A flash of impatience crossed his eyes,
05:30he let go of Lillian and strode toward me.
05:34Eleanor, what kind of temper are you throwing again? Lillian just came back from Switzerland.
05:39Her health is poor and she can't be frightened. You are the eldest daughter of the Walker family.
05:45Can't you be a bit broad-minded? Broad-minded, I looked at this man in front of me whom I
05:50had loved
05:50for over a decade. Suddenly, he felt very foreign. Seven years. More than 2,500 days a night.
05:59To cater to his preferences, I put away my own temper and skills, learning to make him French
06:03desserts and English afternoon tea. To get his name to appear in that damn box, I bribed the
06:09Ashford's butler, curried favour with Sebastian's mother, and exhausted all possible means. And the
06:16result? What I got in exchange was his phrase, be a bit more broad-minded, and my sincere heart shredded
06:21to
06:22pieces in the paper shredder. Sebastian, I put down the wine glass in my hand. The glass clinked
06:28crisply against the marble table. I am not throwing a temper. I just think you are right.
06:33Miss Lillian is delicate, and does indeed need someone to properly accompany her through her
06:39treatment. Sebastian was stunned. He stared into my eyes, as if trying to find a hint of petulance,
06:45or jealousy, in them. Unfortunately, he found nothing. My heart was completely peaceful, without a single
06:51ripple. This feeling of being out of his control made him inexplicably panicked. He reached out,
06:56trying to grab my wrist. It's good that you understand. After tonight, next year. There is no next year.
07:04I turned sideways, dodging his hand. My tone was as flat as if discussing today's weather. My grandfather
07:10said the same thing can only be done at most eight times. Tonight is the eighth time. If your name
07:16is
07:17still not drawn, then we are done. Seeing this, Lillian quickly walked over and stood in front of me.
07:23Eleanor, stop throwing a tantrum and just apologize to Sebastian. He still loves you deep down. It's just
07:30that since I returned, my actions have been so unstable. And he is just worried about me. Besides,
07:37everyone knows that you would never marry anyone but Sebastian. As soon as her voice fell, a crisp
07:45slap suddenly sounded. My eyes were full of mockery. When is it an outsider's turn to dictate my affairs?
07:52Sebastian's face suddenly changed, and he stepped directly in front of Lillian. Eleanor, you have gone too
07:59far. Apologize to Lillian. Apologize? On what grounds? Because she's your darling? Or because she's thick
08:06shitted? Sebastian, have you forgotten that tonight is my home court? As long as the drawing haven't
08:12started, I am still your fiancé in name. What's the problem with teaching an outsider who doesn't know
08:18the rules a lesson? The surrounding guests began to whisper. Mrs. Ashford also hurried over upon hearing
08:25the commotion. Seeing this scene, she frowned deeply. What are you arguing about? Isn't this
08:31embarrassing? She glared at Sebastian, then looked at me. Her eyes were complex. Eleanor, it's almost
08:39time for the drawing. Don't let irrelevant people ruin the big event. Mrs. Ashford liked me very much.
08:44She genuinely hoped I could marry into the Ashford family. It was a pity. That good son of hers
08:50personally destroyed all of this. Sebastian took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.
08:55He reached out to put his arm around Lillian's shoulder and patted her comfortingly. Then he
09:00looked at me, his tone cold. Fine. Since you want to play so much, let's begin. I want to see
09:06the moment
09:07you draw a blank slip. Whether you can still be as sharp-tongued as you are now. After saying that,
09:14he turned and walked toward the high platform in the center of the hall. There lay an exquisite box.
09:20It was also the judgment stand that would decide my fate. I watched his back. My eyes gradually turned
09:26cold. Sebastian, you think you control everything. But little do you know, this time, you are the prey.
09:34In the center of the hall, the crystal lights were dazzling. Everyone's gaze focused on that carved oak
09:39box. According to family rules, there were a hundred slips of paper placed in the box.
09:44Only one of them had Sebastian's name written on it. Drawing it would be the arrangement of fate,
09:49resulting in an engagement on the spot. Failing to draw it meant fate hadn't arrived and we would
09:54try again next year. For the past seven years, every time, I reached my hand in full of hope.
10:00Every time. What I pulled out was completely blank. I thought it was just my bad luck. I thought it
10:05was
10:05God testing our relationship. It wasn't until today that I learned that among those hundred
10:10slips of paper, Sebastian's name was never there at all. They were all blank papers he had personally
10:15substituted. Eleanor, go on. I specifically asked the priest for a blessing. The priest said,
10:22you will find your beloved this year. Beloved? Perhaps. It's just that this person is not Sebastian.
10:29Lifting my dress, I walked step by step onto the high platform. Sebastian stood next to the box,
10:34one hand in his pocket looking proud. The way he looked at me was like looking at an unreasonable
10:38child. Eleanor, as long as you apologize to Lithian now, next year, I promise to let you draw
10:45the name. Wouldn't even need to wait until next year. As long as you behave and stop targeting Lillian,
10:50I can consider ending this game early. Game, in his eyes, these seven years of torment, my youth,
10:56my dignity, were nothing but a game he could call a halt to at any time. I stopped in my
11:01tracks. Standing
11:02across from him, there were only a few inches of distance between us, but our hearts were separated
11:07by an entire world. Sebastian. I looked into his eyes and asked softly, do you really think I must
11:13marry you? Sebastian was taken aback for a moment, then he sneered out loud. Who else? Besides Mu could
11:20tolerate your bad temper. Besides the Ashford family who is worthy of your Walker family. Eleanor, accept your
11:26fate. In this life, you are destined to only be the woman of me, Sebastian Ashford. He was too
11:34confident. Confident to the point of conceit. He thought that by grasping my weakness, he could
11:38trample on my bottom line unscrupulously. I lowered my eyes, hiding the mockery in my gaze. Is that so?
11:45Then let's see exactly who is the one who should accept their fate. I took a deep breath,
11:51slowly raised my right hand, and reached into that pitch black box. My fingertips touched the cold
11:58paper. One slip, two slips, countless slips. Each one was like a knife. Cutting into my heart,
12:06there was absolute silence below the stage. Lillian stood at the forefront of the crowd,
12:11a victor's smile on her lip. She knew the box was full of blank papers. She was waiting to see
12:16me make
12:16a fool of myself in public and cry bitterly. Sebastian also looked away casually, seeming to
12:22have already foreseen the ending. I closed my eyes. My fingers fumbled at the bottom of the box.
12:28Finally, my fingertips touched a slip of paper with a slightly different texture.
12:33That was the one. I had someone slip in during the chaos before entering. And it was also the final
12:39way out I left for myself. I snapped my eyes open. With a strong flick of my wrist, I pulled
12:44out that slip
12:45of paper. Young Master Ashfield. I held up the slip in my hand, my voice clear, spreading throughout the
12:51hall. It seems your promise is about to become inviled. Sebastian's casual expression froze on his
12:59face. He subconsciously looked at the slip in my hand. A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
13:05Impossible. He clearly had personally replaced all the slips with names with blank ones. Even just to be
13:11safe. Right before the banquet started, he had specifically checked again. There absolutely could
13:16not be any words in the box. Eleanor, who are you trying to scare with a blank piece of paper?
13:20He scoffed coldly. Stop making a scene and letting everyone laugh at us.
13:26Whether it's a blank paper or not, won't we know once it read out loud? A bright,
13:31radiant smile curled at the corners of my lips. Since Young Master Ashford don't believe it,
13:36then invite a highly respected elder to read it. I looked at the patriarch of the Walker family below
13:42the stage. He was also my grandfather. Grandfather, please help your granddaughter check. Whose name is
13:49written on this? Grandfather leaned on his cane and tremblingly walked up to the stage. He took the slip
13:55from my hand. Unfolded it. The eyes widened fiercely. Immediately after, he burst into a hearty laugh.
14:04Good. It's destiny. This is the arrangement of destiny.
14:09The unease in Sebastian's heart grew stronger and stronger. He abandoned all etiquette,
14:15rushing forward to see what was going on. Grandfather, let me see it.
14:21Sebastian's casual expression froze on his face. He subconsciously looked at the slip in my hand.
14:26A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. Impossible. He clearly had personally replaced
14:31all the slips with names with blank ones. Even just to be safe. Right before the banquet started,
14:36he had specifically checked again. There absolutely could not be any words in the box.
14:41Eleanor, who are you trying to scare with a blank piece of paper? He scoffed coldly.
14:45Stop making a scene and letting everyone laugh at us. Whether it's a blank paper or not,
14:51won't we know once it read out loud? A bright, radiant smile curled at the corners of my lips.
14:57Since young Master Ashford don't believe it, then invite a highly respected elder to read it.
15:03I looked at the patriarch of the Walker family below the stage, who was also my grandfather.
15:09Grandfather, please help your granddaughter check. Whose name is written on this?
15:13Grandfather leaned on his cane and tremblingly walked up to the stage. He took the slip from
15:19my hand, unfolded it. The eyes widened fiercely. Immediately after, he burst into a hearty laugh.
15:28Good. It's destiny. This is the arrangement of destiny.
15:33The unease in Sebastian's heart grew stronger and stronger. He abandoned all etiquette,
15:38rushing forward to see what was going on. Grandfather, let me see it.
15:44But Grandfather suddenly put away the slip, turned around, facing the hundreds of guests below.
15:50According to the century-old family rules of the Walker and Ashford families,
15:54Miss Eleanor Walker has successfully drawn her husband in the eighth destiny drawing.
15:59This is the arrangement of destiny. The whole crowd was in and up. Mrs. Ashford was moved to tears. The
16:06smile on Lillian's face stiffened, her nails digging deeply into her flesh. Sebastian was struck as if
16:11by lightning. Impossible! The box clearly! The words reached his lips, but he forcefully swallowed them
16:18back down. He couldn't say it. Saying it would mean admitting he cheated. It would mean admitting
16:24he lied to Eleanor. He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. Grandfather, did you misread it?
16:30How is this possible? Why is it impossible? I took the slip back from Grandfather's hand,
16:36slowly unfolded it, displaying it in front of everyone. Black ink on white paper. The strokes were
16:41vigorous and powerful. Clearly right in Alexander Thorne.
16:51A dead silence, even more terrifying than before. The colour in Sebastian's face instantly drained
16:57away. He stared deadly at those two words. Alexander Thorne. This is impossible. How could his name
17:04be in the box? Your box can only have my name! He bellowed out of control, like an enraged lion.
17:10I watched his crazy behaviour, and only felt it was laughable. Young Master Ashford, the family rules
17:17only say to draw a slip to decide a husband. But they never said that this box can only hold
17:24the
17:24name of you. Sebastian Ashford alone! I turned around, looking into the corner of the crowd, at the man who
17:32had remained silent all along, yet stood tall and straight like a pine. Mr. Thorne, since this is the
17:38arrangement of destiny, I wonder if you are willing to marry me as your wife.
17:47The crowd automatically parted to make a path. All eyes converged on that corner. Alexander Thorne.
17:53Wall Street's most low-key, yet also most mysterious billionaire. It was said he was ruthless and
17:59stayed away from women. He was the Ashford group's biggest mortal enemy in the global market. No one
18:03expected. That his name would appear in the Walker family's raffle box. And even less expected, that I
18:09would propose to him in public. Alexander walked up to the high platform step by step. Every step
18:13seemed to trample on the very tip of Sebastian's heart. Until he stood in front of me. He finally
18:19stopped. Reflected in his deep eyes was my current dishevelled yet resolute appearance. Miss Walker.
18:24His voice was deep and magnetic, carrying a trace of imperceptible indulgence.
18:29You were the one who said it. In front of all the elites of New York. No going back on
18:35your word.
18:36My heart trembled. Actually, I wasn't familiar with him. I had only heard his name and knew he
18:42didn't get along with Sebastian. Putting his name in was purely to take revenge on Sebastian and also
18:47to find myself a sufficiently powerful backer. I didn't expect that he would agree so readily.
18:52I absolutely won't go back on it. Alexander hooked his lips into a smile. In that instant,
18:57he reached out to take the slip from my hand, carefully folded it, and placed it in the pocket
19:02closest to his heart. Then, right in front of Sebastian, he went down on one knee, took out an
19:08already prepared diamond ring from his pocket. Eleanor Walker, marry me. I will make you the happiest
19:15woman in all of New York. The whole venue exploded. This reversal came too fast, too thrilling. Sebastian went
19:21completely crazy, and he upended the lottery box. Alexander, you're asking for death. Eleanor is my
19:28fiancee. What right do you have to propose? The box overturned on the ground. The slips of paper
19:34inside scattered all over the floor. Sebastian acted like he had caught a lifesaver. He squatted
19:39down to pick up those slips. I want everyone to see. These are all blank papers inside. It is you,
19:44Eleanor, who cheated. You teamed up with an outsider to humiliate me. He grabbed a handful
19:49of slips and held them up in front of everyone. Look! They are all empty! There are no names at
19:55all! This drawing doesn't count! However, the next second, his voice came to an abrupt halt,
20:01because he saw, on that floor full of slips, every slip of paper bore the same single sentence.
20:07I don't love you anymore. Sebastian's hands began to tremble. The slips in his hand slipped away.
20:12He looked up in disbelief, looking at me standing condescendingly above him, his eyes full of terror
20:18and despair. Eleanor! You! I took Alexander's arm, looking coldly at the man on the ground. Sebastian,
20:24I said it the eighth time. If you're still not in the box, then I will marry someone else. Now,
20:31you can
20:32get lost. Sebastian went completely crazy, and he upended the lottery box. Alexander, you're asking
20:38for death. Eleanor is my fiancé. What right do you have to propose? The box overturned on the ground.
20:44The slips of paper inside scattered all over the floor. Sebastian acted like he had caught a lifesaver.
20:50He squatted down to pick up those slips. I want everyone to see. These are all blank papers inside.
20:55It is you, Eleanor, who cheated. You teamed up with an outsider to humiliate me. He grabbed a handful of
21:01slips and held them up in front of everyone. Look! They are all empty! There are no names at all!
21:07This drawing doesn't count! However, the next second, his voice came to an abrupt halt,
21:13because he saw, on that floor full of slips, every slip of paper bore the same single sentence.
21:19I don't love you anymore. Sebastian's hands began to tremble. The slips in his hand slipped away.
21:24He looked up in disbelief, looking at me standing condescendingly above him, his eyes full of terror and
21:29despair. Eleanor! You! I took Alexander's arm, looking coldly at the man on the ground.
21:35Sebastian, I said it the eighth time. If you're still not in the box, then I will marry someone else.
21:42Now, you can get lost. Sebastian slumped on the floor,
21:46surrounded entirely by slips of paper that read, I don't love you anymore.
21:49No. It is not like this. He muttered to himself, trying to find a slip with his name written on
21:56it
21:56from the floor. Even if it was just one, it could prove I still had him in my heart. Unfortunately,
22:02not a single one. Eleanor! You lied to me! He suddenly raised his head, his eyes crimson.
22:08You clearly loved me so much. How could you not love me? Is it because of Lillian? Is it because
22:15I
22:15replaced the names with blank paper? I will change. I will not replace them anymore. I will write my name
22:20on them right now! He frantically pulled out a fountain pen, grabbed a slip from the floor,
22:25and was about to write. Enough! Alexander, stepping on the hand he was holding the pen with.
22:30Young Master Ashford, harassing my fiancé right in front of me. Are you not completely ignoring my
22:37existence? He looked up and glared angrily at Alexander. What kind of thing are you? Eleanor and
22:45I grew up together. You are nothing but a petty man taking advantage of a vulnerable moment!
22:52Grew up together? Alexander let out a scoff, applying pressure with his foot,
22:56crushing Sebastian's knuckles until they cracked. Does growing up together mean making her wait three
23:01hours in a blizzard for you? Does growing up together mean making her make a fool of herself
23:05in public for seven years? Does growing up together mean putting her sincere heart into a paper shredder?
23:11Sebastian's face was deathly pale. How do you know? About the paper shredder. Only he and Lillian knew.
23:19How could Alexander know? I looked at his horrified expression and spoke faintly. Because I heard it too,
23:24Sebastian. Right before the banquet started, at the door of the lounge. Every word you said I heard
23:30clearly! Sebastian's whole body shook, as if all his strength had been drained away. Eleanor,
23:36listen to my explanation. He crawled over, wanting to grab the hem of my dress. I was lying to Lillian.
23:43I only told those lies to comfort Lillian. I only have you in my heart. I promise to give you
23:49a grand
23:49proposal next year. Believe me this once. Okay? I took a step back, avoiding his hand. My eyes looked at
23:56him as if looking at a pile of garbage. Lie to Lillian? So in order to lie to her, you
24:02had to sacrifice me?
24:03Sebastian, your love is too cheap. I, Eleanor Walker, no longer want you.
24:17After finishing my sentence, I didn't give him another glance. Holding Alexander's hand,
24:21I turned and left. Sebastian, you are bleeding! Quick, call a doctor! It is a sin! What a sin!
24:29My footsteps didn't stop, walking out the doors of the banquet hall. The night breeze was slightly
24:34cool, blowing away the noise and foulness inside. Are you cold? I shook my head. Alexander?
24:41Hmm? Thank you. You are welcome. He squeezed my hand tightly, his palm warm.
24:49Eleanor, the good show has only just begun. Sebastian became Wall Street's biggest joke. The heir publicly
24:55rejected, the fiancé marrying his mortal enemy. The Ashford group's stock crashed the next day.
25:01The walkers withdrew capital, and the Thorn group attacked. The Ashford family teetered on collapse.
25:06Mrs. Ashford was hospitalized. Mr. Ashford threatened to disown Sebastian. Meanwhile, I sat in Alexander's
25:13private villa, startled by the documents in my hands. Are these real? I pointed at photos of Lillian
25:18partying on a yacht, embracing men, with no sign of illness. Absolutely true. During those seven
25:24years in Switzerland, she squattered his money, keeping male models, gambling, taking drugs. I felt
25:30utterly disgusted. Sebastian played the fool and hurt me for seven years because of her. Does Sebastian
25:35know? He'll know very soon. Alexander smiled slyly. I served justice for everyone in the Ashford family.
25:41I gasped at the ruthless move. Lillian would have no place left, and Sebastian would be entirely
25:47abandoned. Alexander leaned closer. Are you worried about him? Not at all. He brought this upon himself.
25:54And you personally sent him to his doom? Alexander laughed, scraping my nose. Such a sweet mouth.
26:02Clearing obstacles for you is what a husband ought to do. Just then, my phone rang. It was Sebastian.
26:09I answered on speaker. Eleanor, are you with Alexander? Do you know what Lillian's- What about her? I interrupted
26:15indifferently. Was she kicked out of her apartment? You knew she was lying? Why didn't you tell me? I laughed
26:21out of anger.
26:22If I told you, you would just think I was jealous. Now that the truth is bare, you don't reflect
26:26your
26:26vast stupidity but blame me? The phone went silent, save for heavy breathing. Finally, Sebastian spoke
26:32coarsely. Eleanor, I was wrong. I kicked Lillian out. Come back, okay? I will marry you immediately and
26:39listen to you for everything. I looked at the sunlight, feeling immense irony. Deep affection
26:44that comes too late is worthless. Sebastian, it's too late. I am now Mrs. Thorne. The words Mrs. Thorne
26:52shattered his last hope. He smashed the phone, leaving only a busy tone. Satisfied? Not yet.
26:58This is just the start. Days later, Alexander launched a fierce commercial attack,
27:03seizing Ashford's asset. Sebastian begged for help, but former friends all avoided him.
27:07Our engagement party became the talk of the city. On its eve, I went to try on my wedding dress.
27:13Outside the boutique, Lillian blocked my way. She looked haggard in shabby clothes.
27:18Eleanor, you ruined me! She screamed and lunged at me. Bodyguards held her down at once.
27:23Greed, vanity, and lies destroyed yourself. Liar! Sebastian loves only me! You are just a substitute
27:31too! She retorted. I pitied her ignorance. He loves no one but himself. He enjoyed being fought
27:38over. Now his pride is hurt, and that is why he is crazy. Lillian stared blankly. I told the gods
27:44to
27:44send her away. We are all fools, she cried bitterly. Just then, Sebastian arrived in a Bentley, worn out.
27:50This dress was meant for me, he said painfully. I ignored him and got into Alexander's car.
27:56Do not marry him! Sebastian shouted desperately. The car drove off, leaving him stranded in the
28:02cold wind. The engagement party was lavish, held at Manhattan's top hotel. Alexander stayed close to me,
28:08caring for me tenderly, making other guests envious. As we prepared to exchange rings,
28:12Sebastian burst in, drunk and messy. Stop this engagement! Alexander let him come forward.
28:18Sebastian stumbled onto the stage. Take off that ring. I will give you everything I have. He said,
28:25holding out a crumpled bank card. You are bankrupt. This card cannot even buy alcohol. I replied calmly.
28:31I have lost my family, company, and money. But I still have you. Will you not stay with me?
28:38Alexander stepped between us. Respect yourself. She is my fiancee, not your savior. Sebastian was
28:46pushed to the ground and wept like a child. The crowd looked on with scorn. No apology can fix
28:50everything. You chose this path, and you have to see it through, I told him. I turned to Alexander.
28:57Put the ring on me. He slipped the diamond ring onto my finger. The ceremony ended. Sebastian stood in the
29:03corner, finally accepting he had lost me forever. Three years later, heavy snow covered New York.
29:08Our daughter was just a month old, and Alexander doted on her deeply.
29:14It is time for work. Not today. My daughter comes first.
29:19I heard Sebastian passed away. He froze to death under the Brooklyn Bridge. Together with Lillian,
29:26they fought over a burger and fell into the river. I fell silent. Once prominent figures,
29:30they ended up miserably. It was their just deserts. Are you thinking of him? I kissed him with a smile.
29:39I am planning a candlelit dinner tonight. His mood brightened at once. He held our daughter in one
29:44arm and wrapped the other around me. Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for giving me a home.
29:50Leaning on his chest, the snow fell harder, burying the sad past. Our warm and happy life had only just
29:56begun, and Alexander doted on her deeply. It is time for work. Not today. My daughter comes first.
30:05I heard Sebastian passed away. He froze to death under the Brooklyn Bridge. Together with Lillian,

30:42begun.
