00:00Everyone thinks Carrie won that modeling contest fair and square.
00:05Here's what they don't know.
00:07My fiance set the house on fire the day before.
00:11My mother locked the door from the outside.
00:17The winner walked over my burned body.
00:21They even gave me psychiatric drugs at the victory party.
00:28Made me pee myself on live stream.
00:33Three years later, I came back.
00:38I didn't win a contest. I won my life back.
00:43The day before the modeling contest, a fire suddenly broke out.
00:54I was locked inside my own house.
00:59The smoke filled the room quickly.
01:01Help! Please help me!
01:03I screamed for help, but no one came.
01:06By the time they pulled me out, my face was badly burned.
01:11Then I lived my burned.
01:14My body was scorched over a wide area.
01:19I was unconscious.
01:24Outside the operating room, Mom was crying hard.
01:28She blamed herself for locking the door by accident.
01:36Hurry up and come here.
01:37I need your help, please.
01:38My fiance, Kenneth Thornton, called every dermatologist in the city.
01:42He vowed to restore my looks no matter what.
01:45But then I heard Mom's shaky voice outside.
01:47Kenneth, even to help Carrie win, wasn't setting the fire and locking the door going too far.
01:57Kenneth scoffed.
01:58If Linda weren't so vain and selfish, I wouldn't have had to take such drastic measures.
02:04She knew Carrie was battling depression, but still flaunted her figure in front of her.
02:10All she lost was her face and some skin.
02:13Carrie lost her happiness.
02:15This is what Leta owes her.
02:18Kenneth said he would still marry me.
02:23No one would whisper behind my back.
02:26Even if I was hideous, he would treat me well.
02:33He said I should be grateful.
02:36Destroying my health and career was treating me well.
02:44I clenched my teeth until my draw ached.
02:50Cold and pain raged in my chest.
02:53That man, that mother.
02:56I was done with both of them.
02:59Kenneth gave an order.
03:03Hold off on the surgery.
03:05Have all the specialists wait outside.
03:07The doctor froze, halfway through pulling on his gloves.
03:11Mr. Thornton, her burns are too severe.
03:19Her throat is damaged by the smoke.
03:21And it's Hellringer's.
03:22If we don't operate now, she won't just lose her voice.
03:27Her face and skin will be completely ruined.
03:30Mom hesitated.
03:33Guilt flickered in her eyes.
03:36Mom tried to persuade Kenneth.
03:38She's hurt too badly.
03:40She can't compete tomorrow anyway.
03:44Let her have the surgery.
03:47Kenneth refused.
03:53Let it be ruined.
03:56If she gets treated now, she'll still find ways to trip Carrie up.
04:04Only if she's half dead will she stop bullying Carrie.
04:13This will humble her.
04:15It's for her own good.
04:17I promise Carrie this championship would be hers.
04:23No one will stand in her way.
04:25Mom sighed and turned to the doctor.
04:30Just give my daughter some pain relief.
04:38Disinfect her burns gently.
04:40Don't let her hurt too much.
04:42No one noticed my body trembling.
04:46It felt like a knife had been driven into my heart.
04:55The fire was never an accident.
04:58It was a trap.
04:59Set by the man I loved.
05:01For Caroline's sake.
05:07And mom was his accomplice.
05:19They had stood outside that door.
05:22Ignoring my desperate cries for help.
05:25Feeling nothing but relief that I'd finally been destroyed.
05:30Pain ripped through my chest.
05:32My scorched throat convulsed.
05:34I coughed up a mouth full of blood.
05:39Mom panicked and reached for me.
05:44But there wasn't a single uninjured spot she could touch.
05:49I'm here.
05:52It hurts, doesn't it?
05:57Don't be afraid.
05:59I will always be with you.
06:04Kenneth snapped at the doctor.
06:07What?
06:08If in any doing?
06:10Where are those dermatologists?
06:12If anything happens to my wife, this hospital can shut down!
06:20The specialists, they're stuck in traffic.
06:24They wouldn't arrive until tomorrow.
06:27Kenneth kicked him out.
06:35Then he knelt in front for me with a guilty face.
06:40Honey, I'm sorry.
06:43I let you suffer too much.
06:49I'll heal your skin and your face.
06:52You'll stand on the runway again.
06:57I stared at his perfect performance.
07:01My voice was bitter.
07:06Will I really get better?
07:10You will.
07:11I promise.
07:12His fake conviction made me feel like a fool.
07:16I knew the truth now.
07:18The man who swore to love me forever had pushed me into a dead end.
07:22The mother who treasured me all my life had chosen Carolyn.
07:26She turned the knife against me.
07:28I wanted to ask them why.
07:31But the words froze in my chest.
07:33I stayed silent.
07:35Doctors came in with disinfectant.
07:38The specialists aren't here yet.
07:40We have to do a simple cleaning.
07:43Please bear with it.
07:44The disinfectant hit my skin.
07:46It felt like being thrown into the flames again.
07:51Fragile blood vessels burst.
07:53The bed was soon soaked with blood and pus.
07:56Mom covered her mouth, sobbing.
07:59Kenneth's eyes turned red.
08:01Their concern looked so real.
08:03But I knew.
08:04Only the lies and the hurt were real.
08:10Two days passed.
08:11I woke up to voices outside the room.
08:15Mom and Kenneth were talking.
08:20Kenneth, do you really want to give her the new experimental psychiatric med?
08:24The doctor said it's not fully tested yet.
08:30Side effects might include seizures and loss of bladder control.
08:35That's exactly what I want.
08:38Kenneth's voice was cold and firm.
08:40Today is Carrie's celebration party.
08:43Plenty of big-name mentors will be there.
08:46This is her chance to really shine.
08:50A little more humiliation won't matter to Linda.
08:55Only if she loses every shred of dignity will she stop competing with Carrie.
09:01After tomorrow I'll announce our wedding.
09:03That'll be my way of making it up to her.
09:05Mom agreed without hesitation.
09:07I stared at the ceiling, got tears spilled silently down my face.
09:11They stung my raw wounds.
09:13But that pain was nothing compared to one in my chest.
09:19They knew I'd been sickly since childhood.
09:21They knew how hard I'd worked to become a model.
09:23Yet with one decision they destroyed my life's dream.
09:26If I'd known it would end like this, I'd rather have died in the fire.
09:30The door opened.
09:31Kenneth walked in with a tender smile.
09:34He held out to bright red capsules.
09:36This is a new painkiller.
09:38No side effects.
09:39It'll make things easier for you.
09:41I turned my head away.
09:43It's too bitter.
09:44I don't want it.
09:45He hesitated for only two seconds.
09:47Then he pressed the pills against my lips.
09:49Be a good wife.
09:51Take it from me.
09:52The capsule slid into my mouth.
09:53Bitter and sticky.
09:54The room began to spin.
09:56He gripped my hand.
09:59Today is Carrie's celebration party.
10:01Her biggest wish is your approval.
10:04If you don't show up,
10:05people will say you're petty and jealous.
10:07I knew there was no refusing.
10:10I'll go.
10:12Get me something to wear.
10:15Mom walked in just in time to hear me.
10:17Her face lit up.
10:19Good girl.
10:20I knew you'd understand.
10:23Once Carrie's party is over,
10:24I'll personally host your wedding with Kenneth.
10:27I pulled my hand away.
10:28I felt nothing.
10:29My heart felt like ashes.
10:31The car pulled up to the villa.
10:33The moment I stepped out,
10:34flashing lights exploded in my face.
10:37Reporters swarmed around me.
10:38Is it true you set the fire to kill your sister?
10:40How can someone as vicious as you
10:42up at your sister's celebration?
10:45Don't you feel shameless?
10:48I ducked my head and pulled my hat low.
10:51One recorder yanked it off.
10:53Gasps erupted.
10:55My burned, ruined face was now on full display.
10:57Oh my god!
10:59Disgusting!
11:00Is that a monster?
11:03I'm gonna puke.
11:04This is nightmare fuel.
11:08My heart pounded.
11:10My vision swam.
11:11But they weren't done.
11:20Several phones were lifted up.
11:22Live streams were going.
11:23Fallen model Melinda tried to burn her own sister alive
11:26and ended up like this.
11:29Let's see for ourselves how evil meets its end.
11:39Someone shoved me.
11:40I stumbled and hit the ground.
11:42My clothes tore.
11:43My arms, legs, and waist were exposed.
11:47A raw cry tore from my throat.
11:51My whole body convulsed like I was being electrocuted.
11:56The reporters got excited.
12:00She's having a seizure.
12:01This is gold.
12:02Get a close-up from all angles.
12:07My eyes rolled back.
12:09Foam spilled from my lips.
12:11Then heat spread beneath me.
12:15The sharp stench of urine filled the air.
12:18The shame was so crushing I couldn't even cry.
12:21I wanted to die right there.
12:26Kenneth burst through the crowd.
12:32He grabbed a reporter's camera and smashed it to the ground.
12:36Get the hell out!
12:38Mom rushed over and wrapped me in a coat.
12:40She was crying.
12:42Where's security?
12:43How did reporters get in?
12:45Get out!
12:46Every single one of you!
12:49Kenneth burst through the crowd.
12:51You've gone too far!
12:52How could you treat my sister like this?
12:57Disgusting.
12:59All of you are disgusting.
13:03You want the title?
13:05You want to give all the love to Caroline?
13:07Fine.
13:09But why did you have to destroy me like this?
13:12My thoughts blurred.
13:18Kenneth bent down and gripped my hands.
13:22Honey, I'm sorry.
13:23I should have protected you.
13:25From now on, I'll never let anyone hurt you again.
13:28Let's get married right away, okay?
13:31I wanted to say no, but blood surged up my throat first.
13:35Splattered across him.
13:37His face drained of color.
13:40Doctor!
13:42Doctor!
13:43Before darkness swallowed me,
13:44I heard him and Mom shouting for a doctor.
13:49The doctor said I was already in critical condition.
13:55The delay made it worse.
13:58The psychiatric meds had damaged my internal organs.
14:02Surgery had only a 30% chance of success.
14:05Kenneth's voice shook.
14:08How could this happen?
14:10I don't care!
14:11If you can't save my wife,
14:12you can bury her with you!
14:14Tears splashed on the back of my hand as he choked out.
14:17Honey, we promised forever.
14:19You can't leave me alone.
14:24Mom dropped to her knees before the doctor.
14:27Please save my daughter.
14:29Take my life instead if you have to.
14:33I closed my eyes.
14:35Maybe dying like this wouldn't be so bad.
14:43When I woke again, I was back in my own room.
14:46Voices murmured at the door.
14:48Caroline was talking to Mom.
14:50Mom, if you transfer all of Dad's inheritance to me,
14:53won't Lena be upset?
14:58She doesn't get a say.
15:00She's marrying Kenneth.
15:02She'll never have to worry about money.
15:05What's this little bit to her?
15:07When your dad passed,
15:10I had acute leukemia.
15:13You were the one who gave me blood every day.
15:17You donated your bone marrow.
15:19That's when I swore you'd be my only real daughter for the rest of my life.
15:26I still feel like I owe you.
15:28I know you love Kenneth, too.
15:30I've already talked to him.
15:33Linda's condition means she can't have children.
15:35On the wedding night, you'll take her place.
15:38Give him his first child.
15:40Caroline blushed.
15:42I'll do whatever you say, Mom.
15:50Guilt flickered across Mom's face.
15:54Then she stammered.
15:58Since you've heard everything, I won't hide it.
16:00The Thornton family is huge.
16:03They can't go without an heir.
16:05But don't worry.
16:07The title of Mrs. Thornton.
16:08I cut her off.
16:10I agree.
16:11Looking like this,
16:13I can't even attend the wedding anyway.
16:15Let Carrie go in my place.
16:19Mom's smile bloomed.
16:20Good girl.
16:22You've really grown up.
16:23Caroline's eyes swept over my scarred skin with disdain.
16:27Don't worry, Linda.
16:29Then she put on a show of concern.
16:31I'll take good care of your husband for you.
16:34I turned my head away.
16:36I was too tired to look at them.
16:41The wedding was held at the villa.
16:43Caroline's idea, of course.
16:46She wanted me to watch her strip away everything I cared about.
16:50But she was even crueler than I imagined.
16:55She pushed my door open.
16:58Her smile was twisted with malice.
17:02Even that massive fire couldn't kill you.
17:04You really are a cockroach, Melinda.
17:07I didn't bother arguing.
17:09You already got what you wanted.
17:11What else do you want?
17:14She laughed.
17:15For you to die, obviously.
17:17Only then can I be Kenneth's rightful wife.
17:20She pulled out a lighter and flicked it.
17:24She set the curtains on fire.
17:26The blood drained from my face.
17:31I dragged my burned body toward the fire.
17:35But Caroline kicked me hard into the bedpost.
17:38Help me, please!
17:40Then she ran to the door, crying out.
17:42Kenneth burst in.
17:44What happened?
17:45Are you hurt?
17:45He pulled Caroline into his arms.
17:47Mom rushed in right after.
17:50Get Carrie to the hospital!
17:52Everyone surrounded Caroline.
17:53No one noticed the blood pouring from my head.
17:56Caroline clung to Kenneth, sobbing.
17:58I just wanted to cheer Linda up.
18:00But she said, since her face is ruined,
18:03I shouldn't get to wear a beautiful dress either.
18:05She set the fire.
18:06She said she'd burn me too.
18:08I was so scared.
18:09Are you insane?
18:10Look at yourself.
18:11You make me sick.
18:12Kenneth's glare could have set me on fire.
18:14You make me sick.
18:16Mom's face twisted in disgust.
18:18If I'd known you'd turn out like this,
18:20I would have let that fire kill you.
18:24You're not even worth one of Carrie's fingers.
18:27Being burned like this is what you deserve.
18:30They carried Caroline out without a glance back.
18:32At the door,
18:33Kenneth looked back at the flames.
18:35You love playing with fire?
18:38Then play all you want.
18:40Lock the door.
18:41No one opens it.
18:43The door slammed.
18:44My screams were cut off.
18:46Mom hesitated.
18:47Kenneth, will anything happen to her?
18:49What could happen?
18:50She lit it herself.
18:53She probably already hit a fire extinguisher.
18:56They took Caroline to the hospital.
18:58Only after confirming she was unhurt did Kenneth remember me.
19:02He sighed and unlocked his phone.
19:04A live news alert popped up.
19:06Massive fire at Alondra Villa.
19:08His brow furrowed.
19:09He was about to call his butler, Daniel.
19:12But Daniel called him first.
19:14Kenneth said,
19:15Let her out.
19:16I'll take her to France for the honeymoon.
19:18She loves it there.
19:19Daniel's voice shook.
19:20Mr. Thornton,
19:22the villa is gone.
19:23Mrs. Thornton,
19:25she didn't make it out.
19:26The room fell silent.
19:27Even the air seemed frozen.
19:30Kenneth gripped his phone.
19:31His voice was tight with anger.
19:34Are you tired of living?
19:36How dare you curse my wife?
19:39Beside him,
19:40Caroline's eyes lit up with joy.
19:42Then she masked it with a fake gentle tone.
19:44Linda is probably just mad about being locked up.
19:47She's teaming up with Daniel to trick you.
19:50Lying is her favorite way
19:52to get your attention.
19:56Caroline kept talking.
19:57Send her to some remote country for a while.
20:00Once she suffers,
20:02she'll realize how good you've been to her.
20:05People like her
20:06don't deserve to be spoiled.
20:08For the first time,
20:10Kenneth's patient snapped.
20:11Shut up!
20:12My marriage is none of your business!
20:14He shook off her hand and stepped aside.
20:17He lowered his voice.
20:19Tell her I'm letting it go today.
20:21Open the door now.
20:23I'll bring her a macaron from Lagerie.
20:25She loves it.
20:26Lagerie S and Caren's have been our peace offering for over a decade.
20:29Whenever I was upset,
20:32one piece was enough to make me forgive him.
20:34But the last time I had one was two years ago.
20:38Not because he never bought them.
20:40He did.
20:42But every single one went to Caroline.
20:46He always said Caroline was fragile and depressed.
20:49I owed it to her to be kinder.
20:51But I never knew what I owed her.
20:53She lost her family because they were criminals who died on the run.
20:57My dad died because of her dad's crimes.
21:00I gave up mom.
21:02My husband.
21:03My dream and now my life.
21:05And he finally remembered to bring me a McCarran.
21:08How ridiculous.
21:10Daniel's voice was frantic on the phone.
21:12I swear I'm not lying.
21:13The fire started in Mrs. Thornton's room.
21:16By the time we opened the door, it was too late.
21:19The villa is burning out of control.
21:23Firefighters are still trying to rescue her.
21:40Then a thought hit him.
21:42But what if she didn't start it?
21:44His breath quickened.
21:45His face paled.
21:48Fine.
21:48He hung up the phone.
21:50I'm coming back now.
21:52Unlike him, mom was far from calm.
21:58You're lying, right?
21:59She's just mad about what I said.
22:03Tell Linda I didn't mean it.
22:05I'll apologize when I get home.
22:10Daniel sighed.
22:13All right.
22:15I'll tell her.
22:16Mom's face relaxed into a stiff smile.
22:18See?
22:19I knew it had to be a joke.
22:21A fire that bad?
22:23Impossible.
22:23But her voice was trembling.
22:27Mom said,
22:28Kenneth, let's go back.
22:29It's your wedding day.
22:31Make it up to Linda.
22:33She's my only daughter.
22:35I can't let her be wronged again.
22:37Kenneth nodded.
22:37All right.
22:38I will.
22:41Carolyn trailed behind, ready to follow.
22:45Kenneth stopped her.
22:46Go home.
22:47Linda doesn't like you.
22:48I'm not letting you ruin her mood on our wedding day.
22:53Mom chimed in.
22:54That's right, Carrie.
22:55Go home.
22:56You already stole her modeling title.
22:58Don't show up in front of her again.
23:02Caroline's face twisted with rage.
23:03Melinda, you pathetic bitch.
23:06Dead or not, you still won't leave me alone.
23:13On the drive back, Kenneth's phone kept lighting up.
23:18Live updates about the fire filled his scream.
23:30Finally, he skidded to a stop at the villa.
23:36He stepped out.
23:38His knees nearly buckled.
23:39The entire villa was swallowed in flames.
23:42The fire lit the sky red.
23:45Firefighters rushed in and out.
23:49Servants sat on the ground, filthy and shaking.
23:52Daniel ran up to him, covered in soot.
23:59Thank God you're back, Mr. Kenneth.
24:00Kenneth grabbed Daniel by the collar.
24:09Daniel pointed to the charred ruins.
24:13We followed your order.
24:15We didn't open the door for her.
24:19When the banging stopped,
24:22we thought she had just worn herself out.
24:25Then smoke started seeping through the cracks.
24:27I opened the door and the fire exploded out.
24:31The whole room was burning.
24:33It was too late.
24:35Kenneth's pulse spiked.
24:37And what?
24:38Before Daniel could answer,
24:40a deafening boom tore through the air.
24:44Windows blew out.
24:45Glass sprayed everywhere.
24:48Black smoke and red fire mushroomed from my room.
24:51Burning debris rained down.
24:53Kenneth stared in horror.
24:54No.
24:56Linda wouldn't leave me.
24:58She wouldn't die.
25:00He lunged toward the house.
25:05Daniel clung to him.
25:07Mr. Thornton!
25:08You'll die if you go in there!
25:10The firefighters found over a dozen gas cans in her room.
25:14There could be another explosion any second.
25:16Kenneth's eyes were bloodshot.
25:19Gas cans?
25:21Why would there be gas cans in her room?
25:22He remembered smelling something strange earlier.
25:26But he had been too focused on Carolyn to care.
25:29The truth slammed into him.
25:32Pain and regret hollowed him out.
25:34He collapsed to his knees.
25:36For the first time in his life,
25:37he tasted true despair.
25:40Then arrived moments later.
25:43She saw the blackened shell of the villa and froze.
25:49Then she stumbled toward a firefighter.
25:52Where is my daughter?
25:54You must have saved her!
25:57She's the lady of this house!
26:01The firefighter hesitated.
26:04The fire started in her room.
26:06We found multiple gas cans.
26:08There were several explosions.
26:12I'm afraid.
26:14Mom screamed.
26:16Lies!
26:17My daughter is fine!
26:20Today is her wedding day!
26:22I promise to host it myself!
26:25She's so obedient, so good.
26:32She would never want to make me sad.
26:35The firefighter said nothing.
26:37Mom turned on Ken.
26:40She pounded him with her fists.
26:45This is your fault!
26:47Why did you lock her in?
26:50She's terrified of fire!
26:53She would never start one!
26:55Give her back to me!
26:57Give me back!
26:59My daughter!
27:03Kenneth stood like a corpse,
27:05taking the blows.
27:06Others pulled Mom away.
27:08She collapsed, sobbing, then fainted.
27:15Kenneth slowly lifted his head.
27:17He stared into the inferno.
27:20It hit him all at once.
27:22After that first fire,
27:23even a lighter's flicker
27:25sent me into panic.
27:26There was no way
27:27I would start a blaze.
27:28And someone that,
27:29afraid of fire,
27:30would never store gasoline
27:31in her own room.
27:32Just then,
27:33a firefighter approached him.
27:35The firefighter held out
27:36a soot-covered recorder.
27:38We found this
27:39on your wife's nightstand.
27:40She might have left a message
27:42in her final moments.
27:44See if it still works.
27:46Kenneth took it.
27:47His hands were shaking.
27:49He pressed play.
27:50All the strength
27:51drained from his body.
27:52Please,
27:53radiant eyes of one.
27:55The recorder played back
27:56his and Mom's voices
27:57from outside the operating room.
27:59Then their conversation
28:01in front of the ward,
28:02plotting to drug me,
28:03ruin my dignity
28:04at Caroline's party.
28:07The last part
28:08was right before I died.
28:11Caroline in my room
28:12setting the fire,
28:14taunting me,
28:15slandering me.
28:16Kenneth gripped the recorder.
28:18His knuckles were white.
28:21So Linda had known
28:22all along.
28:25While she was enduring
28:26the pain of fire
28:27on her skin,
28:29I was still
28:30stabbing her heart
28:31again and again.
28:33That quiet sadness
28:34wasn't forgiveness.
28:37It was because
28:38she had given up completely.
28:40She is the girl
28:41I've loved for over ten years.
28:46The one I promised
28:47to never leave.
28:48Twice I pushed her
28:49into the fire.
28:50What the hell have I done?
28:51He bent over,
28:53curling up in pain.
28:54Night fell.
28:55The fire was finally out.
28:57The air stank of burning.
29:00Firefighters searched
29:00the whole villa.
29:02They handed him
29:03a single diamond ring.
29:07Then his assistant
29:09rushed in
29:09with a stack
29:10of investigation files.
29:13Mr. Thornton,
29:14you'd better prepare yourself.
29:16Before Kenneth
29:17could take them,
29:18Mom snatched
29:19the files away.
29:21All the truth
29:22about Caroline
29:23lay bare
29:23before their eyes.
29:25Caroline's birth parents
29:26were human traffickers.
29:28They died
29:29in a car crash
29:30while trying
29:30to escape arrest.
29:32She recognized Dad
29:33as one of the
29:34arresting officers.
29:35She staged a scene
29:37of being bullied.
29:38Dad couldn't bear it
29:40and adopted her.
29:41But she was a venomous snake
29:43lying in wait.
29:44While Dad was undercover,
29:46she shouted in the street
29:47that he was a cop.
29:48He is a cop!
29:49Dad was gunned down
29:51by criminals.
29:56She played innocent.
29:59She even blamed me.
30:00She said I was vain
30:02and wanted to brag
30:03about having a cop
30:04for a dad.
30:05Mom never said it out loud.
30:08But she had blamed me
30:09ever since.
30:11When Mom had leukemia,
30:12I gave her blood
30:13and bone marrow.
30:15I kept it from her.
30:18I didn't want her to worry.
30:21Meanwhile,
30:22Caroline ran off
30:23with Dad's death benefit.
30:25Later,
30:26when Mom recovered
30:27and I was set
30:28to marry Kenneth,
30:28Carolyn claimed
30:30she had depression.
30:31She said she didn't
30:32want to drag us down.
30:34She went back home.
30:36But when no one
30:37was around,
30:38I was pushed down
30:39the stairs.
30:40My wrists were slashed
30:41open with scissors
30:42in the middle of the night.
30:44I dodged vases
30:45falling from above.
30:49All these years,
30:51everyone believed
30:51her every word.
30:53I was branded
30:54vain and selfish.
30:56Anytime I showed emotion,
30:58I was accused
30:58of being cruel
30:59and petty.
31:00I endured endless
31:01cold violence.
31:03And her depression
31:04was fake.
31:05Behind closed doors,
31:06she bullied,
31:07slept around,
31:08and trafficked
31:09children and girls.
31:10Everything I had tried
31:12to explain finally
31:13hit them like bullets.
31:14Mom sobbed
31:15until she nearly
31:16passed out.
31:19She collapsed
31:20to her knees.
31:23My dear,
31:24I was wrong.
31:26I'm so sorry.
31:28Kenneth swayed
31:28to his feet.
31:31He wiped the ring
31:32with his sleeve
31:33and slipped it
31:34into his pocket.
31:37Then he calmly
31:38told the assistant
31:39to take Mom home.
31:44He made a call
31:45to Carolyn.
31:50The next day,
31:52news hit
31:52the trending list.
31:54Carolyn had been
31:55burned to death
31:56in the suburbs.
31:57By the time
31:58the cops got there,
31:59only a charred body
32:00remained.
32:01The coroner said
32:02someone had doused
32:03her in gasoline
32:04before she died.
32:08They burned her
32:09until she was
32:10barely hanging on.
32:12Then they put out
32:14the flames
32:14with an extinguisher.
32:15After a while,
32:17they poured more
32:17gasoline
32:18and set her
32:18on fire again.
32:22It went on
32:22like that
32:23over ten times
32:24until she was
32:25burned completely black.
32:27She didn't just
32:28burn to death.
32:29She was tortured
32:30alive.
32:31While nurses
32:32gossiped about
32:33the story,
32:33I was lying
32:34on an operating
32:35table.
32:36I was going
32:37through my
32:38sixth skin graft.
32:42My mentor
32:42stood beside me.
32:44Her eyes
32:45were full of
32:45worry.
32:48Are you scared?
32:50I shook my head.
32:51After surviving
32:52fire twice,
32:53nothing really
32:54scares me anymore.
32:55On my wedding
32:56day,
32:57my mentor
32:57saw the news
32:58and caught
32:59a red-eye
32:59back from
32:59overseas.
33:00If she
33:01hadn't come,
33:02I would be
33:03nothing more
33:03than a corpse
33:04now.
33:04Her eyes
33:05softened.
33:07You're my
33:07proudest student.
33:12Six months
33:13from now,
33:14at the
33:15International
33:15Supermodel
33:16Contest,
33:17I want to
33:17see you shine.
33:18With her help
33:19in the doctor's
33:20relentless work,
33:21six months
33:21later,
33:22I stood
33:22on that runway.
33:24I didn't
33:24let her down.
33:26When I held
33:27the championship
33:27trophy,
33:28it felt like
33:29every star
33:29in the world
33:29was shining
33:30for me.
33:32I cried
33:33through the
33:33cheers
33:34and the
33:34flowers.
33:38I thought
33:38I would
33:39never see
33:39Kenneth again,
33:40but there
33:41he was,
33:42showing up
33:43out of nowhere.
33:45As I stepped
33:45off the stage,
33:46I turned
33:47and saw him
33:48standing in
33:48the cold
33:49night air.
33:49He was
33:50unshaven
33:51and worn
33:51out.
33:52His smile
33:53was awkward
33:53and almost
33:54pleading.
33:55Linda,
33:56I came
33:57to take
33:57you home.
34:00He pulled
34:00a diamond
34:01ring from
34:01his pocket,
34:02the same
34:03one I had
34:03thrown into
34:04the flames.
34:05Look,
34:05I kept
34:06it.
34:07Let's have
34:08another wedding,
34:09bigger and
34:09grander,
34:10by the ocean,
34:12just like
34:13you always
34:13wanted.
34:14His eyes
34:15were full
34:16of emotion,
34:17as if his
34:18own words
34:18moved him.
34:21I laughed,
34:22bitter and
34:23sharp.
34:25If you
34:25had even
34:25a shred
34:26of conscience
34:26or shame,
34:27you wouldn't
34:27be asking
34:28me to marry
34:28you again.
34:29Do you
34:30know how
34:30many skin
34:31grafts I've
34:31had,
34:3218?
34:34And every
34:34single cut
34:35across my
34:36body reminded
34:36me.
34:37You gave
34:38me all
34:38of this.
34:39He broke
34:40down in
34:40front of
34:40me.
34:43His tears
34:44hit the
34:44ground.
34:52I know
34:53I deserve
34:53to die
34:54a thousand
34:54times over.
34:55I'm not
34:56asking for
34:56forgiveness.
34:58Just one
34:59chance to
35:00make it
35:00right.
35:01Please.
35:03I looked
35:04at him.
35:05Leave my
35:06life and
35:06never show
35:07your face
35:07again.
35:09That's the
35:10best you
35:10can do
35:10for me.
35:13He stood
35:14there in
35:14silence.
35:15His shoulders
35:16sagged.
35:18eyes.
35:19A bitter
35:19smile tugged
35:20at Kenneth's
35:21lips.
35:25You're
35:26right.
35:27I'm not
35:28worthy to
35:28stand next
35:29to you.
35:30He turned
35:30and walked
35:31away.
35:32I didn't
35:32watch him
35:33go.
35:35Half a
35:35month later,
35:36mom overdosed
35:37on pills.
35:38When they
35:39found her,
35:39she was
35:40holding my
35:40childhood
35:41photo.
35:41I wired
35:43money to
35:43the funeral
35:44home.
35:44I didn't
35:45go back.
35:46Not long
35:47after,
35:48Kenneth turned
35:48himself in.
35:50He confessed
35:51to setting
35:51the fire
35:52that burned
35:52me.
35:53He also
35:54confessed to
35:54killing
35:55Carolyn.
35:56The court
35:57gave him a
35:58suspended death
35:58sentence.
36:00Two years
36:00later, I
36:01received a
36:02suicide note
36:03and a
36:03massive
36:03inheritance.
36:05I didn't
36:06even read
36:06the letter.
36:07I tore
36:08it up.
36:09I donated
36:10every cent to
36:11the World
36:11Institute on
36:12Disability.
36:14From that
36:15day on, I
36:16lived for
36:16myself.
36:20I was
36:20free.
36:24My modeling
36:25career came
36:25back to life.
36:26My scars
36:27didn't go
36:27away, but I
36:28stopped hiding
36:29them.
36:29I walked
36:30runways in
36:31New York,
36:31Paris, and
36:32Milan.
36:33The girl who
36:34was supposed to
36:35die in that
36:35fire was now
36:36on top of
36:36the world.
36:37I started a
36:38foundation for
36:39burn victims.
36:41Young girls
36:42who had been
36:42told they
36:43were ugly
36:43came to
36:44me.
36:44I looked at
36:45them and
36:45saw myself.
36:46Your scars
36:47are not your
36:48shame, I
36:49told them.
36:51They are
36:52proof that
36:53you survived.
36:55Some of them
36:55went on to
36:56become models
36:57too.
36:57That was my
36:58real victory.
36:59I never
37:00remarried.
37:01I had peace.
37:02That was
37:03enough.
37:04One morning,
37:05I heard that
37:06Kenneth had
37:06died in
37:07prison.
37:08I felt
37:09nothing.
37:10I hung up
37:11and went
37:11to work.
37:14That night,
37:15I stood on
37:16my balcony
37:16and looked at
37:17the stars.
37:18I smiled.
37:19A real smile
37:20from then on.
37:21I lived
37:21facing the sun.
37:23My life was
37:24bright as the
37:24stars and
37:25moon.
37:25moon.
