00:03Who are you?
00:05I'm the one who saved you.
00:07So what?
00:12Adam, your clothes have been pressed.
00:28Madam, you can't shake off the car behind us.
00:30I paid you a fortune! I don't want to hear that!
00:33Yes!
00:44Notify those old geezers on the board.
00:46If anything happens to me, they won't get off easy either.
00:52A bunch of old foxes ganging up to bully a widow like me.
00:55Well done.
01:02Look out!
01:08Ma'am, get out of here!
01:30Is it... over?
01:39What a pain.
01:49I had my fate mapped out.
01:52No cracks in the plan.
01:56I made a rule of this.
02:01No!
02:02No!
02:03No!
02:05No!
02:06No!
02:07No!
02:09No!
02:11No!
02:14Yes!
02:17No!
02:19No!
02:20No!
02:23No!
02:33Wake up. Wake up.
02:59Asuka, I will get you back. Don't you dare fall asleep, okay?
03:06Ben and the rest are all dead. It was Kobobo Finance to set us up.
03:16Asuka.
03:25Don't. Don't forget me.
03:30Asuka. Wake up.
03:35Asuka. Asuka. Wake up.
03:39Ben. Ben.
03:47Asuka.
04:01Asuka.
04:03Asuka.
04:05Asuka.
04:05Asuka.
04:06Asuka.
04:07Asuka.
04:08Asuka.
04:09Asuka.
04:12Let's go.
04:41What a pain.
04:55Who are you?
04:57I'm the one who saved you.
05:05The last one who grabbed my neck is dead.
05:09So what?
05:15Adam, your clothes have been pressed.
05:21Get out.
05:22Yes, Mom.
05:30Is that necessary?
05:32I don't want those old geezers to know that the man I brought back last night is covered in wounds.
05:36A fugitive on the run.
05:37Put these on.
05:38Starting today, you'll be my personal security.
05:41But I don't come cheap, and I'm neck deep in trouble.
05:43Name your price.
05:44As for trouble, there'll be more.
05:47Okay.
05:53Every man has one.
05:54Why hide it?
05:57Let's get one thing straight.
05:58I am only taking this job for a month.
06:00Three months.
06:02Sorry, I have something else to do.
06:03Three months.
06:04When it is done, I can grant you any wish.
06:08I want revenge.
06:10I can help you with that.
06:11You can't help me.
06:12They're too powerful.
06:14I can help you.
06:15Even if it is global finance.
06:17Even if it is global finance.
06:19Three months.
06:20It is a deal.
06:23Madam, the board meeting is about to start.
06:26Don't go anywhere.
06:28Wait for me here.
06:43It was global finance.
06:47Global finance.
06:50This is a blood feud.
07:20Chairwoman, you are late.
07:23Yeah.
07:24We old-timers.
07:25Have been waiting for you for a full half hour.
07:28If it weren't for the chairman.
07:31If you don't want to wait, you can leave.
07:34And let me remind you all.
07:35The chairman you're referring to, my husband, is dead.
07:38I am now the chairwoman.
07:44From today on, I'm in charge of global finance now.
07:48From today on, I am in charge of global finance now.
07:55That is how company's current situation is.
07:58Chairwoman.
08:01What do we do now?
08:04Obviously.
08:05Kick you old-timers out.
08:08Yeah.
08:10Don't get so worked up.
08:11If I haven't even made a move yet.
08:13Then you die of anger first.
08:15How boring.
08:16Let's go.
08:20That bitch...
08:21Is trying to pick us off one by one.
08:24The global finance pie.
08:26Who wouldn't want it all to themselves?
08:27The only way now is take advantage of her husband's death when she is vulnerable.
08:33And...
08:34Strike first.
08:40Starting today.
08:41You can call me T.
08:43From now on, my security will be handled by Ethan.
08:48Butler Curry.
08:49Let him have the room next to mine.
08:51Yes.
08:52You can handle the rest.
08:55Do a good job.
08:57Do a good job.
09:01Do a good job.
09:02Do a good job.
09:09It has been so many years.
09:12Thea, where are you?
09:14Mom is now the CEO of global finance.
09:17No one will ever bully you again.
09:20Mom will definitely find you.
09:24What are you doing?
09:25Sorry, it's just...
09:30Madam, there is a mole among your security detail.
09:32For this job, Luz.
09:34Extra pay?
09:34What is wrong?
09:36So you are saying now?
09:37Of course.
09:41It seems your security plan...
09:45...needs a complete overhaul.
09:47Leave it all to you.
09:48One more thing.
09:49Time you talk to me.
09:50Try not to be so dramatic.
10:01The extra vigilant, when Madam goes out.
10:14The extra vigilant, when Madam goes out.
10:18Just drop me off at the lobby.
10:20They wouldn't dare touch me inside the company.
10:22Understood.
10:42Miss Joseph.
10:43Stop right there.
10:46Miss Joseph.
10:48Stop right there.
10:49It is fine.
10:49Let's talk upstairs.
11:05Go ahead.
11:06What is so urgent that you had to call me here?
11:12You are now the president of Global Finance.
11:14Of course, there is a lot to report to you.
11:17You are not here to check if I am dead, are you?
11:19You are joking, Madam.
11:20I heard your new bodyguard is quite formidable.
11:24We wouldn't dare.
11:25We're all business people.
11:27Harmony brings prosperity.
11:29Miss Joseph.
11:31Mountain School, our group previously invested in, has been completed.
11:36They are just waiting for you to cut the ribbon.
11:41I know about that.
11:42I'll go there myself.
11:43If there is nothing else, meeting adjourned.
11:47Mr. Gates, that woman is way too arrogant.
11:51Arrogant?
11:52I've heard.
11:54The road to that mountain school has frequent landslide.
12:04You did well.
12:05I am satisfied.
12:07You are going to be very busy.
12:13We said our sharp goodbyes, went back to our old lives, filled the quiet corners with the noise of empty
12:20tries, told ourselves moving on was the only thing that's fair, but every empty bed felt like a void.
12:26We couldn't repair our lights.
12:35Madam, I'll head upstairs first.
12:38Wait a moment.
12:41Come with me to the mountains tomorrow.
12:43Just you, alone.
12:44Okay.
13:06Ethan, you are so handsome and skilled.
13:10Don't you have a girlfriend?
13:12Have not.
13:13A waste.
13:15How about I take care of you?
13:17I guarantee it'll be better than losing-
13:19Watch out!
13:19Move away.
13:21That'sative.
13:26You are so handsome.
13:29You'll love me.
13:30You're so handsome.
13:30You're so handsome.
13:32I guarantee you.
13:33You're so handsome.
13:34And you're so handsome.
13:35You're so handsome.
13:36You're so handsome.
13:37You're so handsome.
13:55Hey, wake up, wake up.
14:14You are awake, how do you feel, can you get up?
14:24Don't fall asleep, I'll take you down the mountain.
14:36You are probably the only person in this world, only one, doesn't want me to die.
14:42Obviously, you still owe me a month's pay.
14:47What if I don't give it to you?
14:49Don't talk about this now, go down the mountain first.
14:53I am so cold.
14:56God, low temperature.
15:00Ethan...
15:05You can't wear wet clothes anymore.
15:07Don't move.
15:08Move.
15:08If you want to live, don't move around.
15:28Look up.
15:32Turn around.
15:36Every woman has one.
15:38Why are you hiding?
15:39About last night.
15:40Don't tell anyone.
15:42Understand?
15:43Understood, madam.
15:49The necklace.
15:51It is this necklace.
15:56Mom and dad had always favored Vivian.
15:58Anyone who knew our family knew that.
16:00Sophie!
16:02Have you no shame?
16:03He's your brother-in-law!
16:04And you slept with him?
16:05Ten years after Vivian skipped her own wedding, she came back.
16:09Where's Tyler?
16:10He's in elementary school by now, right?
16:12How come he's not here to see his real mom?
16:13Back then, she'd given birth to Tyler, then faked her own death on her wedding day.
16:18She left behind a baby and her fiancé, Nathan.
16:21Nathan's family owns the most powerful company in the region.
16:24Most of our family's business depends on them.
16:26Mom and dad couldn't afford to cross them, so I was forced to marry him after Vivian ran away from
16:30her wedding.
16:30For ten years, I was a good wife.
16:33A real mother.
16:33Now Vivian's done playing and wants to come back to claim the marriage.
16:37I told you I was coming home.
16:38Didn't you tell Nathan I was coming?
16:40My attitude angered her.
16:42Sophie!
16:43What the hell's wrong with you?
16:45Don't forget that Nathan loves me!
16:46I'm the one he should be marrying!
16:48I'm!
16:48I'm back now!
16:49You actually think you're keeping that wife title?!
16:51Vivian?
16:52I don't know what you're talking about.
16:54My husband and I are doing just fine.
16:56All those years, I'd stood beside Nathan at every charity gala, every industry dinner,
17:00every handshake event that mattered.
17:02There wasn't much romance between Nathan and me.
17:04But we had something more durable than romance.
17:06Shared interests.
17:07That's why I wasn't sweating this.
17:09Sophie, have you no shame?!
17:11He's your brother-in-law!
17:13No.
17:13He's my husband.
17:15We have a marriage license.
17:19Mom, she's lost her mind!
17:22Nathan and I were together in college.
17:24If it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for the Hargroves,
17:27Dad's company never would've grown the way it did!
17:30Mom and Dad had always favored Vivian.
17:32Anyone who knew our family knew that.
17:34But...
17:35You ran out on your own wedding!
17:37You faked your death!
17:39Ten years, not a word from you!
17:41If Sophie hadn't stepped in,
17:43the Hargroves would've been humiliated in front of everyone.
17:46They wouldn't have let that go quietly.
17:48The company would've been finished.
17:52I...
17:52I just wasn't ready to get married yet.
17:55But I'm back now!
17:56Isn't that what matters?
17:59And you know how arrogant that family is.
18:01They never thought much of us to begin with.
18:03I was already pregnant and unmarried.
18:05If I'd walked in there like that,
18:06I would've spent my whole marriage being looked down on!
18:10Why did you come back?
18:12They accepted Sophie, so they'll accept me too.
18:15Tyler gets to be with his real mom!
18:17This is good for everyone!
18:19Sophie...
18:20You're free now.
18:22Go find your own happiness.
18:24I looked at her.
18:25She was completely sure that I,
18:27the one who'd never been worth much to anyone in this house,
18:29would sacrifice myself for her, again.
18:32Because that was just what I did.
18:35I'm very happy with my life!
18:37You're the one who needs to wake up!
18:42I turned and walked out.
18:43I didn't look back.
18:44I didn't know what Vivian's face looked like in that moment.
18:47I didn't need to.
18:48But I knew her.
18:49That spoiled, entitled streak of hers wasn't going to let this go.
18:52I dragged myself home to the Hargrove house that evening,
18:55running on empty.
18:56I'd been grinding through a project all week.
18:59Late nights, every single one.
19:03You're back.
19:04Why do you look so worn out?
19:06Have you been sleeping?
19:07Work's been a lot.
19:08How was Boston?
19:09How's Tyler?
19:12Tyler had the time of his life.
19:15The only thing missing was you.
19:18Next trip, all three of us.
19:20I missed you.
19:21I felt the warmth of his chest against mine.
19:23His lips brushed the back of my neck.
19:25My whole body locked.
19:27Vivian's words from this afternoon ran through my head on a loop.
19:30I didn't respond the way I usually did.
19:32I sensed that he was unhappy.
19:35You're exhausted.
19:36Go take a shower.
19:37Get some sleep.
19:39He handed me a reason.
19:41Wrapped it up clean.
19:44Behind me, in the dark of the hallway, Nathan stood without moving.
19:48Whatever his face was doing, nobody saw it.
19:50His eyes tracked me until I turned the corner and disappeared.
19:53Next morning, I pulled out of the neighborhood right on time.
19:56I saw a familiar figure.
20:02Sophie!
20:03Don't you dare play dead with me!
20:05You're sitting in your sister's spot and you have the nerve to act like it's fine?!
20:12I pulled to the curb, got out, and faced her.
20:16What's wrong?
20:18Embarrassed?
20:18Or scared Nathan's gonna dump you the second he finds out I'm back?
20:22Vivian, you're interfering with my life.
20:23I'm telling you this once.
20:25Stay away from me.
20:26Drop the act.
20:27You've been scared of me your whole life.
20:28Growing up jealous, wanting what I had.
20:30That's just human nature.
20:31I'll be right here waiting.
20:33One conversation with Nathan and he'll forgive me.
20:35He always did.
20:37And Tyler?
20:38He came out of my body.
20:39You'll never replace that.
20:41I said nothing.
20:42Got back in the car.
20:43She didn't stop me this time.
20:45In the rearview mirror, I watched her, standing at the curb, smiling at my taillights.
20:49Vivian had been spoiled rotten her whole life.
20:52No impulse control, no forethought.
20:54The second anything didn't go her way, she blew up and made it someone else's disaster to manage.
20:58I pulled a long breath in, forced my attention back to the road.
21:02Ten years building something.
21:04If it fell apart now, it wasn't just my loss.
21:07Nathan would take a hit too.
21:09Grade school.
21:09Every summer break and winter break, Vivian would disappear.
21:12The first day back, her assignments were completely untouched.
21:16So she took mine.
21:17Mum and Dad had a perfectly reasonable explanation for it.
21:20Sophie gets great grades.
21:22Missing one assignment won't hurt you.
21:23But if Vivian doesn't turn something in, the teacher will embarrass her in front of everyone.
21:28After that, I quietly did two sets of homework every break.
21:34We played a gig together at some bar downtown.
21:36A pick-up band.
21:37One off show, two months of stages and late nights and being young and reckless.
21:42Then came the night, Vivian stumbled home late.
21:44Way too much to drink.
21:45She didn't even make it to the bathroom before she was sick.
21:48Mum and Dad rushed her to the ER.
21:49Vivian was pregnant.
21:50Mum and Dad were in shambles.
21:52Vivian was the most relaxed person in the room.
21:55Like the news had nothing to do with her.
21:56They put her on a care schedule.
21:58She sat at home and let herself be taken care of.
22:01The Hargroves were brought in.
22:02An arrangement was reached.
22:03Once the baby arrived and a paternity test confirmed everything, there would be a wedding.
22:07The Hargroves weren't happy.
22:09But they couldn't afford for this to get out.
22:10A public scandal could crater their stock price.
22:13The night before the wedding, I took a four-hour train ride home.
22:16Next morning, the cars arrived.
22:18The guests were seated and the flowers were arranged.
22:20Vivian was gone.
22:25You bad boy.
22:34It's nothing, I just got tired of hiding it.
22:37I wanted you to find out sooner so I wouldn't have to explain it to you after we're married.
22:42Don't worry, you will still be my wife.
22:45You've been with me for ten years, and you've offended quite a few powerful figures in the business world.
22:50If you don't marry me, you won't find anyone else to take over.
22:54Everything will be business as usual tomorrow, except the wedding is for you, but the marriage certificate goes to her.
23:03Fine, Julian. You may do whatever you like, but you'll regret. I'll make sure of it.
23:08The next day, Julian Mercer waited for me in the church, dressed in his groom's attire.
23:12I didn't run or hide. I walked right up to him, on the arm of his greatest enemy.
23:16You wanted a wedding. Here it is.
23:19The marriage certificate? It belongs to him now.
23:24Here she comes! Here she comes! The bride is finally here!
23:31Vivian, how are you feeling on your wedding day?
23:33Vivian, do you have any comments on the wedding of the century that Mr. Mercer has prepared for you?
23:36I said nothing and got into the car under the escort of my bodyguards.
23:39The wedding was scheduled to take place at St. Patrick's Cathedral in the eastern part of the city.
23:44Julian stood on the steps in a mocha-colored suit.
23:46A smug smile on his face as if everything were under his control.
23:49He'd called me this morning.
23:50I'd fucked that woman all night. Seven times.
23:53Can't come pick you up.
23:54From afar I saw Ethan, Julian's best friend.
23:57She actually showed up!
23:59Jewel really knows his stuff.
24:01Staying wild the night before the wedding, yet the bride still comes obediently in her wedding dress.
24:05What do you call that? That's called good training.
24:11Vivian's been with me for ten years. Who else would want her?
24:17A little tantrum is normal, but in the end, she'll still walk up to me and hold out her hand.
24:23Ethan gave him a thumbs up. He was just so sure I'd show up.
24:26The car door opened, and I stepped out.
24:27Sunlight fell on the wedding dress, refracting into a shower of delicate sparkles.
24:31A flicker of admiration flashed in Julian's eyes.
24:34You look absolutely stunning in a wedding dress.
24:36He offered a sincere compliment.
24:38But before he could touch my hand, his attention was drawn away by his vibrating phone.
24:43Glancing at the contact name on the screen, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.
24:47He took a couple of steps back to answer it.
24:51Darling,
24:52Can you swing by the registry office? I want to get the certificate before I leave.
24:59Ten minutes? In such a hurry? Are you sure?
25:03Who was that?
25:05It's Chloe.
25:07She's flying overseas this afternoon, but she insisted on giving notice before she leaves.
25:12She was so sweet and pleading that I couldn't say no.
25:16But what about your wedding?
25:19Why the rush?
25:21The wedding ceremony will take an hour or two.
25:25I'll just pop over to the registry office first.
25:27It'll only take ten minutes.
25:28You know Chloe's temperament.
25:30If I don't persecate her, she'll really start crying at the airport.
25:36Come on, snap picture for me. A keepsake.
25:43Alright, that's it for today. I have to go now or I'll miss my appointment.
25:49Julian!
25:52This wedding is what you promised me a decade ago.
25:55I've waited for it for ten whole years.
25:58You really don't give a damn, do you?
26:03If you leave today, I'll find a new groom for this wedding.
26:09I knew she did it on purpose.
26:12The day before the wedding, Dylan accompanied me to pick out my gown at the bridal shop.
26:16I had just stepped out of the fitting room, only to see Dylan hurriedly take off his suit jacket and
26:21turn to leave.
26:22Lily's in trouble.
26:23Mia can't handle this alone.
26:24I have to rush to the hospital.
26:25We'll have to call off tomorrow's wedding for now.
26:27Once, I would have stopped him.
26:28But this time, I made no attempt to keep him here.
26:31This was already the 99th time.
26:33Half an hour later, Mia posted an update on Instagram.
26:36You're my only reliance in this world.
26:39My parents sighed helplessly.
26:42Clara...
26:43Is the wedding getting cancelled again tomorrow?
26:45The invitation letter...
26:46We've already sent it out.
26:49The wedding will go on as planned.
26:51Just not with him as my groom.
26:53They'd been waiting for this moment forever.
26:55Waiting for me to break free from Dylan.
26:56Waiting for Sean to come back.
26:58Sean, heir to the Wayne family, whose business empire spans the globe.
27:02We grew up together.
27:03He once promised he'd marry me if I was still single at 30.
27:07After I confirmed the gown, Dylan called right then.
27:13I remember you've been dying to check out that super popular, trendy downtown bistro in Maplewood District.
27:17I splurged and got us a noon reservation.
27:18I'd planned to say no.
27:20But after six years together, I thought we owed each other a clean, decent goodbye.
27:24Claire, don't be like this.
27:27Lily had a sudden attack, and Mia has no one else to turn to.
27:29You know I promised Mr. Carter before he passed that I'd look after Mia and her kid.
27:32Look, I'm sorry, okay?
27:34Alright, chill out. The wedding won't get cancelled next time, I swear.
27:37I told you I'd give you the perfect wedding, and I won't back out.
27:41A familiar female voice came from behind me.
27:43Mia walked toward us, leading Lily by the-
27:45On the night of the full moon, Darius would uncontrollably transform into a wolf.
27:50And only sex could he regain his sanity.
27:52To avoid any prying eyes, I drove out to the suburbs early.
28:09My best friend suddenly called, saying she wanted to give me something.
28:13The next day, she gives me a cursed amulet, and I immediately hang it around the neck of an ancient
28:18giant bear.
28:19Because in my past life, my best friend and I were pregnant at the same time.
28:23She used the excuse of praying for blessings and good fortune to give me that amulet.
28:28Touched, I accepted her kindness, and wore it every day.
28:31Ten months later, we gave birth at the same time.
28:34We gave birth to a healthy pair of twins.
28:36My husband's family believed I had cursed the child to death, that I was an ill-omened woman.
28:41They called upon the elders and, following the ancient laws of the renegade shaman of the territory.
28:46She already knew her own fetus had died, so she gave me the amulet to swap my child for hers.
28:52Now, opening my eyes again, I'm back on the day she gives me the amulet.
28:56Staring at the massive ancient giant bear, I smile coldly.
29:00You wanna swap?
29:01Go ahead, swap with this bear.
29:03The moment Raven handed me the amulet, I knew I had been reborn.
29:07My memories were hazy as I struggled to pull myself together,
29:10suppressing the instinctive convulsions caused by the silver fire that had burned me in my past life.
29:15I tried to sober up as quickly as possible.
29:18When I opened my eyes, Raven was already standing before me with a sinister smile.
29:22She reached out and eagerly presented an amulet.
29:25Selina, these are two amulets I specially went to Warlock Mordecai to ask for.
29:31They're to keep our children safe and sound. One for you, one for me.
29:35Let's wear them together.
29:36To avoid arousing her suspicion, I happily took the amulet and put it around my neck.
29:41Okay, thank you my dear sister. I will wear it every single day.
29:45As I said those last words, I could barely hold back my gritted teeth and seething hatred.
29:50In the past life, when we were both pregnant at the same time, she had come to me with the
29:55same eager enthusiasm, holding an amulet just like this.
29:58She told me she had specially asked a warlock to bless it, so that it would protect the child from
30:02harm or illness.
30:04Because I trusted her completely, I put on that amulet without a second thought.
30:08But who would have known, ten months later, when we both gave birth, something horrifying happened.
30:13The twins that the healer had clearly confirmed when I was three months pregnant, those twins somehow ended up in
30:18Raven's belly that had never drawn breath.
30:21Before I could even grieve, my mother-in-law, the head of the household, lashed out.
30:28Oh no! What kind of monster has Selvan given birth to? She's going to bring bad luck upon our entire
30:33family!
30:34Word quickly spread throughout the entire Silvermoon territory.
30:38I clung to my mother-in-law, pleading desperately.
30:41Mom, please believe me. Something is definitely wrong here.
30:44Just a few months ago, I went to the healer for a pulse diagnosis, and the baby was perfectly fine.
30:48Moreover, the healer even confirmed it was twins.
30:51Something definitely went wrong in between!
30:53My child could never be a monster!
30:55The facts are right in front of you! What else do you have to say?
30:58If you ask me!
31:00If you ask me?
31:02Someone who can give birth of such a monster?
31:05You are no blessing either!
31:07With that one sentence, she threw me to the wolves.
31:10She even went on to summon the elder.
31:12Elder Marcus, I beg you to bring justice to our family!
31:15This little wretch has given birth to such a monster!
31:18I'm afraid it won't just bring disaster to our family, it will also bring disaster upon the entire territory!
31:22Neither this adult nor the child can be allowed to live!
31:24Elder Marcus was persuaded by my mother-in-law's words.
31:27He pulled out an ancient book of prophecies, and began to spout nonsense with great pretense.
31:33This woman should indeed no longer remain in the territory.
31:37Midnight tonight is the oscurious hour for the silver fire execution.
31:40The adult, together with the stillborn, must be cremated immediately to avoid further trouble, to bring misfortune upon the territory.
31:47If someone had stood up for me at that moment, I might still have had a chance to live.
31:51But as soon as Elder Marcus said those words, those cowards in the territory who feared for their lives, immediately
31:57dragged me to the silver moon altar.
31:59That was the place where ceremonies were held whenever anything happened in the territory.
32:04Afraid that the ropes would burn through, they chained me up with iron chains.
32:08Worried that my agonized screams would haunt their nightmares, they stuffed my mouth with cloth strips.
32:14As the silver fire blazed, I looked into the distance, and saw my best friend rushing toward me.
32:20Tears streaming down my face, I desperately tried to signal her for help.
32:24But she revealed to me that she was the one who had swapped away the twins in my belly.
32:31She told me that I had only myself to blame for being born with such good fortune, constantly being compared
32:36to her by others.
32:37Every time she heard people praise me and belittle her, it made her jealous, and miserable.
32:43So my death was only right with me dead, no one would compete with her anymore.
32:47The silver fire raged.
32:49I could hear the moisture in my body evaporating, and finally the sound of my blood vessels bursting.
32:55With tears in my eyes, I was burned alive by that group of ignorant people.
32:59Among all of them, the one I hated the most was Raven.
33:03I swore that if I ever had a chance to live again, I would make sure she died a miserable
33:07death.
33:08Perhaps the moon god took pity on me, and heard my plea I actually had the chance to be reborn.
33:13When I woke up, Raven's malicious face appeared right before my eyes.
33:18She was still as fake as ever, only her hypocrisy was well hidden.
33:22So much so that I hadn't seen through it in my past life.
33:25I forced down the hatred in my heart, and continued what I had been doing moments before.
33:30Not sensing anything unusual about me, she gave her usual false smile.
33:34We're good sisters, no need to be so polite with me.
33:38I played along, nodding in agreement.
33:40After that, she thought everything had gone smoothly again.
33:44Believing that she had acted without leaving any trace, and that no one knew about her misdeeds, she left with
33:49peace of mind.
33:50Once I was sure she had left, I immediately drove to the Forbidden Forest.
33:57I found the most massive ancient giant bear, and firmly hung the amulet around its neck.
34:02Then I stuffed a stack of bills into the guard's hand.
34:07This amulet will keep it safe.
34:10Absolutely do not take it off for ten months.
34:14Don't worry, I'll make sure of it.
34:16When I returned to the territory, I spotted Raven from a distance.
34:20An astonishing sight unfolded.
34:22Her belly was rapidly swelling at a visible speed, as if she were carrying a full-term baby.
34:27I walked over and joined the small talk between her and an older werewolf.
34:31Raven proudly patted her stomachs.
34:33I bet I'm definitely having twins.
34:37Your belly is so small, you'll probably give birth to a malnourished little girl.
34:43I told you to eat more, but you just wouldn't listen.
34:46How could I ever compare to you?
34:48The elders all say you're a lucky star blessed by the moon goddess.
34:53You'll need to set up a hundred tables for the one-month party.
34:56That's only natural.
34:58You should try harder, too.
35:00At least least give birth to a boy.
35:02Then we can have the one-month celebration together.
35:04I sneered inwardly.
35:06She had no idea that what she was carrying in her belly wasn't twins at all,
35:10but the child of a giant bear.
35:15The surrounding werewolves began flattering Raven one after another.
35:19Raven, you can tell she's blessed.
35:21Two children in one pregnancy and a boy-girl pair at that.
35:25Not like some people.
35:27Husband can't stand her.
35:28Mother-in-law hates her.
35:29And she's stuck with a good-firm girl.
35:32Raven feigned disapproval and interrupted.
35:35Aunties, uncles, don't say that.
35:36Selena is my good sister.
35:37The group immediately apologized to her and then redoubled their praise,
35:42calling her kind and sensible.
35:44Watching these sycophantic people, my stomach churned.
35:47It's okay.
35:48Just wait a little longer.
35:50Soon, they would all find out what exactly the lucky star they held in the palm of their hands would
35:55give birth to.
35:55On the way back, Raven pretended to be angry and said,
35:58They talked about you like that, and you didn't even fight back?
36:02You're driving me crazy.
36:05They're all elders.
36:07It's not worth it.
36:08She stared at my neck, and her expression changed.
36:11What about the amulet I gave you?
36:12Why aren't you wearing it?
36:14It's right here.
36:15I'll find a leather cord and string it on as soon as I get home.
36:19You must wear it.
36:20This is for your own good and the baby's.
36:22I nodded in agreement, but inside I thought,
36:25Of course I'll wear an amulet.
36:27Just the one I've prepared for myself.
36:29Raven, in this life, just wait to give birth to that giant bear's child.
36:36After Raven left, the moment I stepped inside, my mother-in-law started screaming at me.
36:42Where the hell have you been?
36:43Why aren't you cooking?
36:45Do you think you're Raven?
36:47Raven?
36:47She's carrying twins, and her in-laws dole on her!
36:51As if you deserve that!
36:52She grabbed me and pointed toward the house across the way.
36:55Look at her belly, big and round, with such a fortunate face!
36:59Now look at you, belly all flat and shriveled!
37:02Hmph!
37:03It must be another worthless girl!
37:05I couldn't help but laugh.
37:07Big and round, wasn't it?
37:09She was carrying the child of an ancient giant bear.
37:12How could it not be big?
37:13When my mother-in-law saw me laugh, she got even angrier.
37:18What are you laughing at?!
37:19If you can give birth to twins, I'll wait on you too!
37:27I wouldn't dare to have that kind of good fortune.
37:35Oh, oh god!
37:36What if your little princess walks in right now?
37:39Leah, she's busy to being my perfect little lap dog.
37:47Well, well. Look who's early to the party.
37:50This is the wedding surprise you promised me?
37:53Anyway, perfect timing.
37:54No more hiding on my end.
37:56At least I won't have to keep making up excuses to you after we're married.
37:59Sorry, Leah. Jasper just can't keep his hand off me.
38:02Can you blame him? Our wedding's tomorrow.
38:06Relax, princess.
38:08The wedding's still on, just for show.
38:09You'll get your fancy dress, your St. Patrick's ceremony,
38:12and your 15 minutes for tabloid fame.
38:14But let's cut the crap.
38:15I won't waste a marriage license on you.
38:17The real deal? That's her.
38:25You sure she won't ruin tomorrow?
38:27Oh, please. She's got nothing without me.
38:29Who else is gonna take her? A barista in Brooklyn?
38:31She will show up. She has to.
38:36Hi, Leah. How are you feeling on your big wedding day?
38:38Any thoughts on this lavish fairytale wedding Jasper threw for you?
38:51Jasper, you're unreal. I can't believe she actually showed up.
38:53You've seriously got game.
38:55Wild night before the wedding and the bride still turns up in her gown.
38:57Now that's what I called well-tamed.
38:59He juggles his fiancee and his lover like it's nothing.
39:01Total smooth operator.
39:03Ten years by my side, she has no choice.
39:05I'm her meal ticket.
39:06She'll throw a fit at most, no matter what I've done.
39:09But sooner or later, she'll come to me and place her hand in mine.
39:15You look stunning, baby.
39:17Worth every penny for this circus.
39:22Hey, pretty. Told you to call later.
39:24I am at church putting on the show for the tabloids.
39:26Honey, I am flying to DC this afternoon.
39:28I booked the city hall ten minutes from now.
39:29Get moving, got it?
39:30Ten minutes? You're a nightmare. Fine, I will be there.
39:32Dude, you can't leave. Ceremony's in five minutes.
39:34Lily's gonna lose it.
39:34Calm down. City will burn me down if I don't go and I need her dad's DC connections.
39:37Lily will be fine.
39:38One photo for the post.
39:40Jasper Colton.
39:42I will get a new groom if you leave.
39:46A new groom?
39:47Where are you gonna find one?
39:48This ain't a Hallmark movie.
39:50Every socialite in NYC knows you're mine.
39:52But hey, if you can find some chump dumb enough to marry you, be my guest.
39:57Quit acting out. I'll be back.
39:58And don't even think about messing with my guests.
40:00They're here for me, not you.
40:01Jasper! Half the Upper East Side's inside!
40:03They're already whispering!
40:03Hold down the fort. I'm not ditching.
40:05Jessica's gonna throw a frit if I'm late.
40:06You know how she gets.
40:09Go Jasper, run to your precious marriage license.
40:11This million dollar Upper East Side circus?
40:13It's mine now.
40:19Lily, hey!
40:20I promise he'll be back.
40:21Just take a seat, yeah?
40:22Totally. You know how he is.
40:23He'll be here for the vows, I swear.
40:30Time to rewrite everything.
40:33I'll wait.
40:34Get her a glass of champagne.
40:35Quick!
40:35Hold the ceremony. Tell the priest we're running late.
40:37Yes, sir.
40:37And keep these people from gossiping.
40:38Jasper, kill us if it's page six.
40:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:40I'll wait.
40:41But who am I waiting for?
40:43That's none of your business.
40:49Three months of hype for this wedding.
40:51Every Coulter family big bold flew in from across the country.
40:54All here for their golden boy, huh?
40:57Wait till they find out their golden boy bailed on his own wedding.
40:59Jasper's always been all or nothing.
41:01Obsessed with grand gestures when he chased me.
41:04Obsessed with this wedding like it was a trophy.
41:06Yeah, so too when it comes to cheating.
41:07He'll flaunt it right in your face, won't he?
41:10Always with the sharp words, aren't you, sweetie?
41:12What's wrong with him?
41:14Seriously, Lily?
41:16Ditching his own wedding to run off and sign a license with that bitch?
41:18I swear he's got of his damn mind.
41:20Who does that?
41:21I thought he was the one.
41:23Turns out he's just another Upper East Side fraud.
41:27Shameless.
41:34Is she totally mind fucked?
41:36She's absolutely delusional.
41:38Stop acting like this is fine.
41:39Can't you see he's using you?
41:41You dropped your family's connections.
41:43Even fought with your parents.
41:44All for him.
41:45When he had nothing.
41:46Nothing.
41:47You stayed up nights writing his business proposals.
41:49Schnoogled investors using your family's name.
41:51Even lied to your parents about how successful he was.
41:53He built his entire career on your back.
41:55And now he's-
41:55Gigi.
41:56Sweetie.
41:56Thanks for coming all the way from Paris.
41:58Honestly.
41:59Oh, please.
42:00We're besties.
42:00After today, I'll go home.
42:02Face my parents.
42:03Take whatever they have to say.
42:05I owe them that.
42:06You don't have to pretend it's okay.
42:07He thinks he won.
42:08Thinks I lost the bet.
42:09Thinks I have nowhere else to go.
42:11But he's wrong.
42:12I made my bet.
42:13And I'll face the consequences.
42:15Today's the day.
42:16I pay for it.
42:25Lilla, look.
42:26Half the Upper East Side is live streaming this.
42:27The hash JasperLillaWedding hashtag is already trending on Instagram.
42:30If he doesn't show up, I need two minutes alone just to catch my breath.
42:37Look at the comments.
42:38Everyone's asking where the groom is.
42:39This post has hit over 10,000 likes in just a minute.
42:55Dude, are you shitting me?
42:56I'm not going to take the fall for this.
42:58Relax, man.
42:59We've covered his ass since college.
43:00What's one more time?
43:01Lilla's just going to sit there and wait like always.
43:03That was college.
43:04This is his wedding.
43:05With a fucking live stream for the elite and every influencer in New York sneaking photos outside.
43:11My DMs are blowing up.
43:13Everyone's asking if the groom bailed on the wedding.
43:14She's never broken before.
43:15We just need to keep her calm until he shows up.
43:17Jasper, when are you going to show up?
43:18The guests are asking questions and the live stream is blowing up.
43:21Tell her I'm on my way.
43:22Just give me an hour or two.
43:24Jasper, look.
43:25Half of New York is watching this.
43:27Don't be a joke.
43:27Quit being a pussy.
43:28She'll wait.
43:29She always does.
43:32Leah!
43:32I swear.
43:33Jas's on his way.
43:34I promise.
43:35Save your excuses, Chase.
43:36I heard every word.
43:37Trust me.
43:37He is on the way.
43:38The wedding starts in three minutes.
43:50Three minutes?
43:50Please.
43:51Our boy Japs got way more game than-
43:53Lily, please.
43:53He'll be here, I swear.
43:55Just two- no, one more hour.
43:56Enough already.
43:57The guests have waited way too long.
43:59You gonna let this wedding become a worldwide joke?
44:01Lilia, come on.
44:01Talk to us.
44:02We should have told her.
44:04Years ago.
44:05Before the live stream.
44:06Before Instagram blew up.
44:07And what would that have done?
44:08Ruined Jasper's career?
44:13Fuck you, Jasper Coldman.
44:14She'll only wait three more minutes.
44:16Get your ass back here right now before the whole wedding falls apart.
44:19She won't leave me.
44:20Keep the crowd calm.
44:22I'll come over once I finish up.
44:25Fuck you, Jasper!
44:26Wow.
44:27Your little disappearance is front page news all across the country.
44:32You little seduccer.
44:33We already signed the marriage license.
44:35Why still keep me here?
44:36I'm gonna be away in DC for so long.
44:38I just can't bear to part with you.
44:42Are you okay?
44:43You've had ten years with Jasper.
44:45He does love you.
44:45It's just...
44:47Guys get bored.
44:48We all crave fresh thrills.
44:49I thought he was different.
44:51Nice job hitting your first big payout.
44:54Honestly?
44:55Until yesterday.
44:57I still couldn't bring myself to believe he'd turn into just another guy.
45:01Who gets bored and moves on.
45:06I was never meant to be tied down to just one woman.
45:08But my heart's always been yours.
45:10No one else gets to be Mrs. Kohler.
45:12That seat's reserved only for you.
45:14No one else can take it?
45:16Please.
45:16What if I don't want the seat at all, Jasper?
45:21This is a private family matter.
45:22Keep all cameras and reporters back.
45:24I said no questions.
45:25No photos.
45:25No interviews.
45:26This isn't a tabloid show.
45:27Back off now.
45:30Let's wait five more minutes.
45:31Just five.
45:32Please.
45:33Seriously.
45:33Midtown traffic is brutal, you know.
45:35He'll be here any second.
45:36You don't want to walk down that aisle alone.
45:38Think about the live stream.
45:39About Instagram.
45:39Hold on.
45:40Lily.
45:41Hold on.
45:41Don't walk in alone.
45:43The live stream's blowing up.
45:44The whole world's watching.
45:46We'll never live this down.
45:48Guys.
45:48We are live right outside St. Patrick's Cathedral.
45:50The most high profile society wedding of the year is about to kick off.
45:54Look at Leah standing there holding her bridal bootay.
45:56Her whole vibe is totally off today.
46:23The live stream is blowing up right now.
46:25The live stream is blowing up right now.
46:26Instagram's going to crash any second.
46:27Hey, sorry I'm late.
46:28Midtown traffic's a nightmare, you know.
46:29It's fine.
46:30I trust you.
46:32It's way too late to head over now.
46:34She'll just throw a petty tantrum.
46:36Why not stay here with me instead, baby?
46:38Lily's always been quiet and compliant.
46:39I at least need to finish the wedding ceremony for show.
46:42Be good.
46:43I'll come back for you later.
46:49Hello?
46:50Jasper!
46:50Where the hell are you?
46:51Hurry up or someone's going to steal your wedding right out from under you!
46:54What?!
46:58How could she do this to me?
47:02Jasper.
47:04Adrian?
47:04What the hell is he doing here?
47:07Fuck!
47:08Lila's actually holding Adrian's arm!
47:10Jasper!
47:10Where the hell are you?
47:11No calls!
47:12No texts!
47:12Damn it!
47:13Does Jessica suck your brain?!
47:17What are you going to do now?
47:19If you hadn't thrown a fit over this shit,
47:20I'd never have left Lila alone at the church.
47:22How dare you blame me?!
47:23You said it yourself!
47:25Wedding for Lila, marriage certificate for me!
47:27Now you're backing out?!
47:37She's just throwing a fit.
47:38Jealous.
47:39That's all.
47:39She wouldn't.
47:40Faster!
47:41Shit!
47:41Go faster!
47:42Room missing.
47:44Fuck you!
47:50I knew this would happen.
47:51Word's been flying around our circle.
47:52Jasper was already wrapped up with another woman the night before.
47:55Really?
47:55No surprise he'd leave his bride stranded.
47:57Wait, isn't the groom the heir to that luxury conglomerate?
47:59White Lily of the Valley, a symbol of new beginnings.
48:02Perfect for today's occasion.
48:04I just picked it on a whim.
48:06You're miles away.
48:08Nervous?
48:08You can still walk away right now, Adrian.
48:09No strings attached.
48:10This mess may ruin your business and break you.
48:13Where's the fun in walking away?
48:14I don't play by society's gossip rules and I don't mind stepping into this mess for you.
48:17It's worth it.
48:18You know, I've seen every lavish wedding there is.
48:20What really counts is giving someone you love real dignity and peace.
48:24My rival in the social prot light for years has become my only safe escape in this farce of a
48:30wedding.
48:32Isn't it ironic?
48:35What the hell?
48:36Do you know who I am?
48:38This is Jasper's wedding.
48:39Move!
48:40My apologies, sir.
48:41No entry beyond this line.
48:43No.
48:48And yours.
48:50Ready?
48:58From these chapel doors, a new life awaits me.
49:02Don't be afraid.
49:03I'm here.
49:05This is ridiculous!
49:07Total embarrassment!
49:09Stop!
49:10Leah!
49:11Are you crazy?
49:13Do you know what you're doing?
49:15These ten years, I never needed anyone to make it in New York.
49:18This obsession took root back when we struggled together in Brooklyn.
49:21Now the carpet ends and so is my longing.
49:40Was the idea?
49:42The rest of the day has been on the train.
49:47I'm going to walk over my feet.
49:47I'm taking a comment from the crowd.
49:47It's a dream, and it's a dream.
49:48No, I'm not a dream.
49:48I'm taking the leap of luck.
49:48I'm a dream.
