Short filmTranscript
00:00I was still a virgin at 18. I practiced on a mannequin every day.
00:04I wanted my first time to be perfect, to give my boyfriend the best experience possible.
00:09And it worked. He was completely captivated by me. I truly believed he loved me.
00:15Before our wedding, I asked him for $500,000. He agreed. But only after the wedding.
00:22My heart was overflowing with happiness. I thought it proved how much he loved me.
00:26What I never expected was that on our wedding night, he would shove me against the floor-to-clealing window
00:31in front of everyone.
00:32He lifted my white Shekia wedding dress to my waist, forcing me onto my tiptoes as I struggled to keep
00:38up with him.
00:39The moment it was over, he pulled off the condom and revealed the truth behind the cruel game.
00:44Before the wedding, when you suddenly demanded $500,000, I told you Vos Group's cash flow had collapsed and that
00:49I was broke.
00:50That was a lie.
00:52She attended one dinner with me, and I bought her that necklace. $5 million.
00:57I propped myself up on trickling arms and stared at him. My throat tightened. Not a single word could come
01:03out.
01:04A violent cramp twisted through my lower abdomen. But the cruel smile on Ethan's face only grew wider.
01:10Who told you to be such a damn gold digger? Every extra penny I spend on you makes me sick.
01:15He left. I looked down at the notification on my phone. The hospital had sent a death notice.
01:19My mother was gone.
01:25I broke down completely. Sobs tore from my chest. Meanwhile, blood slowly stained the fabric beneath me.
01:33What Ethan didn't know was that the $500,000 had never been for me. It was my mother's cancer treatment
01:39fund.
01:39And because I didn't want him worrying about me, I had never told him she was sick.
01:44On my wedding night, I lost the four most important people in my life.
01:48My mother, my newly made husband, my best friend of more than 10 years, and the baby growing inside me.
01:55By the time I rushed to the hospital, my mother's body had already been covered with a white sheet and
02:01wheeled out of the emergency room.
02:02Tears dripped endlessly from my eyes. I was still wearing my wedding dress. The same dress my mother had helped
02:08me choose just two days earlier.
02:11Her greatest wish had been to see me get married before she died. That was why she had fought so
02:15hard to stay alive until today.
02:17I thought I would be able to pay for her surgery today. I thought I could save her.
02:21Never once did I imagine death would arrive on my wedding night. Suddenly, a bank notification appeared on my phone.
02:27Or that it wouldn't even leave me enough time to see my mother one last time.
02:30$500,000 had been transferred into my account. A second later, Ethan called.
02:35The money's in your account now.
02:36His voice was dripping with mockery.
02:38But honestly, that's all you're worth.
02:40I closed my eyes in despair. A tear slid down my cheek, and my mind drifted back to one month
02:46earlier.
02:47My mother had been diagnosed with a terminal illness. I sold my mortgage department.
02:51I worked three jobs at once. One at a law firm and two at restaurants.
02:56I scraped together every dollar I possibly could, but I was still $500,000 short.
03:02With no other options left, I asked Ethan for help.
03:05I didn't tell him how critical my mother's condition was because I didn't want to burden him.
03:10Even now, I can still remember how quickly his face turned cold.
03:14The company is in trouble.
03:15We don't have money right now.
03:18Sienna, if you're only with me for my money, then get the hell out.
03:21Humiliation burned inside me, but I swallowed my pride and begged him for the money.
03:26Only then did he agree to give it to me on our wedding day.
03:30Until tonight.
03:30Tonight, he finally admitted it had all been a lie.
03:33Voss Group wasn't bankrupt.
03:35It wasn't drowning in debt.
03:36The only thing waiting for him tonight was our wedding bed.
03:39And then he told me something even worse.
03:41Now my mother was dead, and I no longer wanted his money.
03:45You can keep it.
03:46I'll send it back.
03:47The moment I transferred the money back to him, I heard Jadie's laughter through the phone.
03:53I won.
03:57I knew she'd pull the noble act and refuse it.
04:00Then Jade guggled again.
04:03Forget about her, Ethan.
04:04As a thank you for buying me that private yacht, I've prepared something fun for tonight.
04:11The sound of kissing quickly filled the line.
04:13My hand shook so hard, I could barely hold the phone.
04:16Then the call disconnected.
04:18A sharp pain tore through my lower abdomen again.
04:21Cold sweat instantly soaked my clothes.
04:23My legs gave out beneath me.
04:25I collapsed onto the floor.
04:26That night, I had planned to tell Ethan some good news.
04:29I was pregnant.
04:30But before I could say a word, he had already lost himself in his own desires.
04:34Without hesitation.
04:36Without care.
04:36He chose the cruelest possible way to announce his betrayal.
04:40At first, I thought he was simply overwhelmed by financial pressure.
04:43I never imagined he was humiliating me on purpose.
04:46My vision slowly blurred.
04:49Blood spread across my white wedding dress, turning it crimson.
04:52I reached toward the direction where my mother lay.
04:55But before I could touch her hand one last time, everything went dark.
04:58When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on a cold operating table.
05:02The doctor frowned as he looked at me.
05:04You were clearly showing signs of a threatened miscarriage.
05:06Why didn't you come to the hospital sooner?
05:08Do you have any idea how dangerous that is?
05:11Just like my marriage to Ethan, his cold, disgusted expression from that night refused to leave my mind.
05:17Whore.
05:18One simple word.
05:19That was all it took to destroy three years of love.
05:24After the procedure, a nurse helped me to an observation room.
05:27I stared blindly out the window of Manhattan General Hospital.
05:31For a moment, I thought that if I jumped right then and there, everything would finally be over.
05:35Then I overheard two young nurses chatting nearby.
05:39Have you seen the news?
05:40The CEO of Voss Group spent a fortune on a luxury yacht.
05:44That's not his wife.
05:45Just to make his wife happy.
05:46I heard his actual wife is some manipulative gold digger.
05:50Mr. Voss can't stand her.
05:51He didn't even spend his wedding night with her.
05:54The woman on that yacht is his true love.
05:56I sat alone in the hospital hallway after hearing those words.
06:00Until sunrise.
06:01The next day, I handled my mother's death certificate and cremation paperwork by myself, like a walking corpse.
06:07When I finally held her urn in my arms, I called a car to take us home.
06:12Or at least, to what was supposed to be home.
06:14Pathetically, the penthouse I shared with Ethan was the only place I had left.
06:19I had nowhere else to go.
06:21The money in my pocket wasn't even enough for the cheapest motel on the East Coast.
06:25The driver glanced at me through the rearview mirror.
06:28Maybe he noticed how exhausted I looked.
06:30Trying to lighten the mood, he started a conversation.
06:33Rough breakup, sweetheart?
06:35If you ask me, a woman should find a man who truly loves her.
06:39Even I'm jealous, and I'm a grown man.
06:42I bit my lip and forced a bitter smile.
06:44He had no idea.
06:46The man he was praising was the husband who abandoned me on our wedding night.
06:50And the woman he envied was my former best friend.
06:56Jade had told me more than once how jealous she was of my luck.
07:00A girl from nothing, somehow ending up with Ethan Voss.
07:03Every time she said it, I laughed it off.
07:05I always told her the same thing.
07:07I love Ethan, not Voss Group.
07:09Back then, I never noticed the jealousy hiding in her eyes.
07:12I thought she was genuinely happy for me.
07:14When she lost her job, I even convinced Ethan to hire her at Voss Group.
07:18He made her his executive assistant.
07:20The irony was almost laughable.
07:22I still remembered what she said afterward.
07:24Don't worry.
07:25I'll keep an eye on Ethan for you.
07:27If he ever hurts you, I'll make him pay.
07:30Who would have guessed she'd end up in his bed instead?
07:33Ethan used to tell me he didn't like Jade.
07:35He thought she was calculating, artificial.
07:37A woman who relied on plastic surgery and social climbing to get ahead.
07:41He said she was nothing like me.
07:42I was simple, pure.
07:44At least, that's what he claimed.
07:45Then I asked him for money, and everything changed.
07:48At the time, I couldn't understand it.
07:50How could someone's feelings change overnight?
07:53Now I finally understood.
07:54They hadn't.
07:55His betrayal had begun long before that.
07:57I took a deep breath.
07:58There was no point dwelling on it anymore.
08:00The husband who once swore he loved me.
08:02The best friend who betrayed me.
08:04I wanted neither of them.
08:05By the time I arrived at the penthouse carrying my mother's ashes, exhaustion had consumed every
08:10part of me.
08:11I pressed my fingerprint against the screener and stepped inside.
08:14The first thing I saw was Jade.
08:16She was standing in the middle of the living room with a victorious smile plastered across
08:20her face, barefoot, standing directly on top of the framed engagement picture of Ethan
08:25and me.
08:26The moment she saw me enter, she deliberately ground her heel over my face in the picture.
08:31Sienna, you're finally back.
08:36Ethan's taking me on the honeymoon instead.
08:39Come help me choose which dresses I should bring.
08:41The floor was covered in my belongings.
08:43My clothes had been tossed everywhere.
08:46Among them were several vintage silk dresses my mother had sewed for me by hand.
08:50The sight made my blood boil.
08:52Those dresses were one of the few things I had left of her.
08:55I forced my anger down and spoke through clenched teeth.
08:58Those are my clothes.
08:59Jade sneered.
09:00She picked up a pair of scissors from the table and walked toward the dresses.
09:04Ethan said everything in this penthouse belongs to me now.
09:11As for you?
09:12She looked me up and down with contempt.
09:15You're nothing more than the personal assistant he bought for $500,000.
09:20Oh, and don't forget.
09:21You signed a contract.
09:23You're basically here to serve me.
09:25I rushed forward to stop her.
09:27But during the struggle, instinctively tightened my arms around my mother's urn to protect it.
09:33The back of my head slammed into the sharp corner of a marble table.
09:37Pain exploded through my skull.
09:38Warm blood immediately trickled down my forehead.
09:40At that exact moment, footsteps echoed from the spiral staircase.
09:44A familiar voice rang out from above.
09:46Urgent.
09:47Almost panicked.
09:48Sienna!
09:48I froze.
09:49My heart skipped a beat.
09:51Then Ethan appeared at the top of the stairs.
09:53In his hand was a document.
09:55A document I had planned to give him as a wedding gift.
09:58My pregnancy report.
10:00His eyes locked onto mine.
10:02For the first time since our wedding night, his face had completely lost its arrogance.
10:07Sienna.
10:10You're pregnant?
10:12The deep red blood flowing from my forehead blurred my vision.
10:17Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?
10:20What the hell are you trying to do?
10:21I couldn't detect the tension on his face.
10:23I naively thought that when Ethan found out I was pregnant, he would be overjoyed.
10:28In this way, our relationship may once again become harmonious, restoring its former sweetness and warmth.
10:34But now all of this has become meaningless.
10:38Ethan.
10:40Let's divorce.
10:41Sienna!
10:42I won't allow that!
10:43Like a beast whose tail had been trampled, he suddenly raised his voice.
10:46A fierce desire for possession and anger gradually welled up in his eyes.
10:49Divorce, you actually brought up the topic of divorce with me?
10:52Let me ask you, how much more money are you going to squeeze out of this child this time?
10:5550,000?
10:565 million?
10:56Or 50 million?
10:58Tudently, he gripped my chin with such force that the sound of bone friction could be heard.
11:01The pain was so intense that I couldn't utter a complete sentence.
11:05Before owed money from you, it was because my mother had advanced age cancer?
11:09Ethan, what I truly love has never been your wealth.
11:13Why hadn't I heard you mention that Auntie was seriously ill?
11:16Sienna, could you really be so malicious as to play with your own mother's life just to save Ethan?
11:22I turned my head in shock, unable to believe her expression with Ethan.
11:26I always considered her my only confident.
11:28She clearly knows everything.
11:29Upon hearing Jade's words,
11:31Ethan's already-hided sensitivity and sense of insecurity from his status as an illiphamy child exploded instantly,
11:37and his expression turned even more unhostile.
11:39Snum who the man always the entire life to always believe in and cheers me a ton to tumultly.
11:44Now merely because another woman made you provoke it a prostrate as I've been convicted.
11:48The urn of ashes tightly held in my arms sent a chill through me.
11:51Suddenly, I felt that everything was utterly absurd.
11:53All ability to explanations was suddenly lost.
11:56I turned on eye-round, intended to go back to the bedroom and pack my luggage.
12:00Hems really get it well, so I winds make it happen.
12:03But the very moment I turned around, Jade suddenly lunged at me.
12:10We've even bought all the props.
12:11How can you make such a complete performance?
12:14I instinctively reached out to push her.
12:16But the very moment I touched the hem of her dress, Jade let out a scream and fell backward.
12:21With a curse, Ethan turned around and pushed me away.
12:24I lost my balance, and the urn of ashes slipped from my hands.
12:28The sound of the porcelain jar tracking the marble floor was both crisp and muffled.
12:32It shattered instantly into pieces.
12:34The grayish-white powder drifted into a thin mist beneath the crystal chandelier.
12:39Through the mist, I could almost see my mother's pale face on her deathbed.
12:42I went absolutely crazy and reached out to grab it.
12:45Crushed porlin fragments cut into my palm, causing blood to gush out and mixing the ashes into a muddy muss.
12:52You're going to compensate my mother!
12:54Ethan steps paused for a moment until he heard Jade's exaggerated, agonized scream.
12:57Without looking back, he lifted her up in a horizontal position.
13:00His expensive Italian-made custom leather shoes mercilessly crushed his mother's ashes.
13:03Do you really think I'd still believe all your nonsense?
13:05That's fine.
13:06I'll only agree divorce and if I've repaid all the money I spent on you over the years.
13:09That evening, Ethan convened his personal legal team and particularly calculated every single penny he had spent on me over
13:15the three years of their relationship.
13:16As he threw a thick stack of bills under my feet, I have just arranged the burial of my mother's
13:21ashes.
13:21I've spent a total of Mildred 320s on you.
13:24I'll add a zero to it.
13:25Just give me back one million.
13:26The bill was filled with numerous charges, some as large as the jewelry bag he gave me.
13:30Even the smallest expenses, such as dining out on dates or hotel stays, are meticulously itemized and recorded by him
13:36in detail.
13:37To him, that million dollars was merely the price of a Pata Philippe watch.
13:41But altogether, it's only a hundred yuan on me.
13:43Seeing me staring blankly with my head down, Ethan's lips curved into a mocking smile.
13:47Sienna, I'm giving you one more chance.
13:50Are you sure you want to divorce me?
13:51He looked down at me from a high vantage point, as if waiting for something.
13:55But I didn't even lift my eyelids.
13:57Instead, I simply nodded gently.
13:58Confirm.
13:59Don't think that just because you're carrying my child, you can act recklessly.
14:03Don't you lack funds?
14:04Then fulfill the contract and serve Jade to settle the debt.
14:07Don't even think about leaving the Voss family until you've repaid that million.
14:10From that day on, I became Jade's exclusive personal assistant.
14:13Available 24-7, on call whenever needed.
14:16Let me be controlled and worn down by Jade.
14:18When she craved French bouillon soup in the early hours,
14:21someone would forsomely wake me from my sleep and spend the entire night simmering it by the stove.
14:25During her nap, she asked me to fan her,
14:27so I had to fan her until my arms went mimp and cold sweat streamed down my forehead.
14:30Jade has laughed so hard more than once,
14:32so much so that she could literally step on me and make the branches tremble with laughter.
14:35Some people are simply destined to remain at the bottom of society,
14:39serving as mere servants.
14:41You say so, right, best friend?
14:44At first, I still felt ashamed.
14:47By the time I got there, I was already numb.
14:50A month later, I exchanged my dignity for $600,000.
14:54That evening, several bodyguards dressed in black suits suddenly burst into the room.
14:59They didn't even give me a chance to struggle.
15:01Instead, they took me to a private room at a top-teal VIP club in Hanhattan.
15:05Upon entering, Ethan found himself seated at the head of the table,
15:08with a full table set with premium whiskeys before him.
15:11Jade isn't feeling well today.
15:12Please drink it for her.
15:13I'll give you $100,000 for this drink.
15:16Should I have it or not?
15:17Ethan, isn't this okay?
15:19Sienna is still pregnant.
15:20Ethan what didn't expect, but I didn't hesitate for a moment at all.
15:24I picked up a bottle of freshly opened bourbon whiskey,
15:26raised my head, and galt it down in large gulps.
15:29The spicy liquor flowed down my throat into my stomach.
15:32I had to dig deep into my palms to suppress the urge to vomit.
15:35By the time Ethan realized what was happening and tried to grab the bottle,
15:38half of it had already been down.
15:39Crazy? Don't you know you have an alcohol allergy?
15:42Sienna Cole, would you really risk your life for money?
15:48Is this enough for $400,000?
15:51He pulled out his phone, and his veins bulched with tension.
15:55Take the money and get out.
15:57Seeing the transaction record showing my phone cost $40,000,
16:00I'd only smiled with relief.
16:02But right after I walked out of the club, swagging unsteadily,
16:05several street throngs who looked like they'd been waited for a Wimes
16:08approached me with a sinister smile.
16:10Is she the woman Jade was referring to?
16:12Jade has made it clear.
16:13As a lawn can induce her abortion, undoubtedly ours.
16:15I instinctively ran in the opposite direction,
16:17but he was instantly thrown in the air by a subjecting fabric.
16:20Shuddy lay limp in the mouth, but before on Hire's night,
16:22I drank of him.
16:24I failed unprecedented liberation.
16:25Ethan, with each other.
16:27The next day, the butler woke up Ethan,
16:29who was still suffering from a hangover.
16:42Ethan frowned deeply.
16:43His headache was so severe it felt like it might explode.
16:48Don't worry about her.
16:53Once the money runs out, you'll know it'll come back.
16:57But my hand intinctively reached for my phone.
17:03When he read the message on his phone,
17:05his pupils suddenly constricted.
17:08Meanwhile, the morning news to in the aired report.
17:10Last night, a severe hit-rushed jolto acid
17:13into Kurds and Ching Kuei Club neighbor husband,
17:15resulting in the immediate death
17:17of the immune urs of Sun Yung.
17:19Ethan recognized every single character on the screen.
17:22The text could be connected seamlessly,
17:24yet he seemed to suddenly develop dyslexia,
17:27completely unable to comprehend it
17:28no matter how he tried.
17:30The Ching Kuei Club was the place
17:31where they gathered yesterday.
17:33The corner of visible in the deceased photo in the news
17:35was strikingly similar to what I was wearing yesterday.
17:38Ethan's hands were trembling uncontrollably.
17:40The housekeeper noticed something was wrong with him
17:43and immediately supported him.
17:44Sir, you...
17:45Go look into it!
17:46I don't believe Sienna's dead!
17:48She's so money-oriented!
17:49How could she possibly die
17:50before she'd made enough money?
17:52The steward paused for a moment,
17:54then immediately nodded in agreement and withdrew.
17:57The headache caused by the hangover
17:59was so intense that Ethan's head
18:01felt like it was about to explode.
18:03Fragments of his memories from yesterday
18:05kept replaying in his mind.
18:08The determination on my face
18:10as I raised the whiskey
18:11was so pronounced
18:12that I didn't even frown
18:14when I tilted my head any back to drink.
18:17But clearly,
18:18I had never drank a single drop of alcohol before.
18:24Ethan's heart was beating rapidly.
18:27He suddenly rushed into the bathroom,
18:30grabbed the toilet seat,
18:31and vomited violently.
18:33Then he collapsed onto the marble floor
18:35in a wretched state,
18:36his face as pale as death.
18:38Indeed,
18:39he was fully aware of my alcohol allergy
18:41and never consumed alcohol himself.
18:43Yet they still forced me
18:44to drink those strong foreign liquors
18:46that even he found
18:47irritatingly harsh on the throat.
18:48Ethan swore that he hadn't intended
18:50to do this in the first place.
18:51He just wanted to see me give in
18:53and bow my head to apologize to him.
18:55Since we got married,
18:56I've hardly ever smiled at him.
18:57Not to mention saying anything gentle or kind.
18:59I'm becoming sponge
19:00that can be molded at will.
19:01Even when subjected to extreme bullying,
19:03there are no notifiable emotional
19:04fluctuations on their face.
19:06But the calmer I remained,
19:07the angrier Ethan became.
19:08The deep-steated sense of insecurity
19:10within him
19:10only intensified its grip on him.
19:12It was clearly me
19:13who had done something wrong.
19:14I revealed my true nature
19:15before marriage
19:16and finally,
19:16unable to continue pretending,
19:18demanded money from him.
19:19With my head bound,
19:19why should I be the one in charge?
19:21Ethan also couldn't quite
19:22put his finger on
19:23exactly what he was thinking.
19:26He could have left me
19:27before we got married,
19:28just as he used to deal
19:29with those corporate spies
19:30with ruthless severity.
19:34But he didn't.
19:35He could just treat me
19:37as a mere decoration.
19:38After all,
19:39many people out there
19:40are eyeing Mrs. Voss's position closely.
19:42I happened to be his shield.
19:44At worst,
19:45he might not return to the apartment
19:47as the shangos,
19:48you sem'd it,
19:49you brisign.
19:50But he'd eithered.
19:51He insisted on getting close to me
19:52and tormenting me.
19:54In this way,
19:55one can release the inner fire
19:56of fear at being abandoned.
19:58That day,
19:59when I asked for a divorce,
20:00he admitted that he had lost
20:01control.
20:02On what grounds
20:03I'm sorry for divorce from him?
20:04What qualifications
20:05do I have to do so?
20:06He even went so far
20:07as to absurdly believe
20:08that I was trying to use
20:09the child in my womb
20:10as leverage
20:11to demand more assets from him.
20:15Child.
20:18Suddenly,
20:19Ethan came up with an idea.
20:21He ran back to the bedside
20:22on all fours,
20:23picked up the phone
20:24that was lying on the floor.
20:26I found my chat box.
20:28When he just woke up,
20:29he's now still and clear.
20:30Only notice that
20:32pursued one bad one
20:33in transfer record.
20:34Only now,
20:36realizing it too late,
20:37our accident.
20:40Abortion procedure form.
20:44And the timing was exactly
20:46on the night of our wedding.
20:49Ethan gripped his phone tightly,
20:51using such force
20:52that he nearly crushed the screen.
20:56She was so heartless
20:58as to interminate
20:58their pregnancy.
21:01But why did she do this?
21:03Why not tell me?
21:06Ethan,
21:07are you awake?
21:08Have some breakfast?
21:09Jade twisted her waist
21:10and pushed open the door,
21:11still wearing my silk pajamas.
21:13When he saw Ethan in the ground,
21:15he was startled.
21:16She quickly dropped the tray
21:17in her hand,
21:18ran up to Ethan,
21:18and tried to help him stand up.
21:20Don't touch me!
21:21I anticipated that
21:22efforts they developed
21:23that special bond,
21:24the man who had always
21:25been indulgent toward her
21:26would behave differently.
21:27And if he had completely
21:28changed who he was,
21:30he violently released her hand.
21:32Jade even looked at the man
21:33her as disbelief.
21:34I was with just
21:35The eyes lumped to safe,
21:36but Tour and IG noticed
21:37on Ethan's phone screen.
21:40How could Sienna
21:41actually hit her own child?
21:44I didn't expect her
21:45to have such strong principles.
21:54As soon as she finished speaking,
21:56a fierce slap struck her
21:57without any warning,
21:58knocking her to the ground.
22:00Shut up!
22:01Shut up!
22:02Water droplets dripped
22:03from Ethan's hair tips,
22:05and his eyes were
22:06a terrifyingly red.
22:07Try saying even a single
22:09bad word about my wife.
22:12At that very moment,
22:14a sudden phone ringtone
22:15shattered the absolutely
22:16silent atmosphere.
22:17It belongs to Jade.
22:20Once she knew
22:21the caller's details,
22:22Jade almost instinctively
22:24wanted to hang up.
22:27But her panic,
22:29which she couldn't hide,
22:30caused Ethan's pupils
22:31to contract.
22:32In the next instant,
22:34he swiftly snatched
22:35the phone from Jade's hands.
22:38Jade, you've completely
22:40ruined everything
22:40we planned.
22:41So there's Sienna
22:42was quite alert.
22:43She frowning,
22:43and she saw him,
22:44and she sucked me.
22:44She just pat bad,
22:45and you're into
22:46a trick accident.
22:48Ethan suddenly fell
22:49completely silent.
22:51Mayo threw you
22:52danger of Aden Wayshan,
22:54and now we drew
22:54in Thruv in the sheet,
22:55shouldn't have gone
22:56to see about the silent.
22:58A death-like silence.
23:00Jonah slowly
23:02widened her eyes.
23:03She had Wenshint planned
23:04to go to Ethan
23:04and retrieve her phone
23:05from him,
23:06but Ethan is truly
23:07terrifying now.
23:09The brutality
23:09characteristic of a
23:10descendant of the
23:11Mafia family
23:12is unleashed
23:12without any restrain.
23:14Had had been
23:15widely rumored
23:15that Ethan,
23:16so Avosiad the Infamigur,
23:18he rose from the
23:19very margins
23:19through relentless
23:20strud to become
23:22the group's heir,
23:23verity of the
23:24methods employed.
23:26Especially when
23:27he's angry.
23:28It's truly terrifying.
23:30At first,
23:31Jade didn't believe it.
23:33She simply thought
23:33the rumors from
23:34outside were far
23:35exaggerated.
23:36At that moment,
23:37she was so jealous
23:38she was on the
23:39verge of going mad,
23:40wondering how I
23:40could possibly be
23:41so lucky as to
23:42win Ethan's favor.
23:43It wasn't until
23:44Ethan began indulging
23:45her even more
23:46that she began to
23:47feel somewhat
23:47complacent.
23:48She believed that
23:49even the most
23:49cold-blooded man
23:50would bow down
23:51before her.
23:52To this day,
23:53Jade has never
23:54felt such a surge
23:55of unease over
23:56Ethan as she did
23:57for the first time.
23:58She was loving
23:58Zord on the ground,
23:59completely collapsed.
24:01Now she even
24:01have the leech
24:02to stand up and
24:03flee.
24:03One could only
24:04support themselves
24:04with their hands
24:05on the floor
24:06and slowly move
24:07backward.
24:10Ethan,
24:13please listen
24:14to my explanation.
24:15I don't know
24:16them at all.
24:17I didn't do
24:18anything.
24:18Jade's voice
24:19trembled with
24:20panic.
24:20She had originally
24:22hoped that Ethan
24:22would be easily
24:23deceived by her
24:24casual words,
24:25just as he had
24:26been before.
24:27By this point,
24:28however,
24:29Ethan's expression,
24:30Ethan's head
24:31turned,
24:32utterly cold.
24:33He walked step
24:34by step towards
24:35himself,
24:36each step resting
24:37on J.D.'s heart
24:38that beat wildly.
24:44I only give you
24:45one chance.
24:47Tell me what you
24:48did.
24:48Ethan's voice
24:49was very soft.
24:50Upon closer
24:51listening,
24:52it even carried
24:53a tone of
24:53gentle guidance.
24:54The more this
24:55happened,
24:56the more afraid
24:57Jelly became,
24:58until there was
24:59no way for her
25:00to retreat.
25:00I didn't.
25:01And Ethan
25:02grabbed her chin
25:03firmly.
25:03tell me what you
25:03I found him
