00:03Take the money and get out of Adrian's lives.
00:07Or I'll have your father's grave desecrated and he will never rest in peace.
00:13Five years ago, my father's illness left our family drowning in debt.
00:17I couldn't even afford a decent burial plot.
00:20That was when Chloe contacted me.
00:21I can give you money, but you should promise me one thing.
00:26For half a million dollars, I posed as my sister to take care of her blind fiancé.
00:30The day he could see again, I vanished.
00:39Our paths crossed again at an underground fight club in Brooklyn.
00:43I was just a rookie reporter for a trashy tabloid.
00:45But he was back on his throne.
00:47The all-powerful young Don of the Luciano family.
00:50And tonight, we are honored to have Mr. Adrian with us.
00:54Let's give him a warm focus. All eyes on Mr. Adrian.
01:00Word is, Ms. Chloe stood by you through your darkest times.
01:04Such loyalty.
01:06So, when is the big day, Don Luciano?
01:09I bought that ring years ago, scraping together what little I had just to cheer him up.
01:14We're getting engaged soon.
01:16He was staring at the camera, but I felt like his eyes swept right over the corner where I sat.
01:23That's the new Don of the Luciano family.
01:26I heard he went blind five years ago and got kicked out by his uncle.
01:30Yeah.
01:30If his fiancé hadn't stayed, he'd be dead by now.
01:33Shh!
01:34Shut up!
01:35He's trying to get us killed.
01:35In two years, he had changed a lot.
01:38He was taller, stronger, and his face had hardened with a cold edge.
01:42You know, Elena, you actually look a lot like Chloe.
01:46She's a Hollywood superstar, Mark.
01:49Don't flatter me.
01:51Of course we looked alike.
01:53Because she and I, we're sisters.
02:03Miss Chloe, word is you're starring in director Martin's latest film.
02:07He rarely casts newcomers.
02:09Did Mr. Luciano help make that happen?
02:11Of course.
02:13I trust my talent, but Adrienne really did so much for me.
02:17Her poised answer immediately won over the audience.
02:20Could you share a bit about how you two got through those dark days together?
02:26There's nothing to tell.
02:28The memories we share belong to us alone.
02:31That's enough.
02:37At 20, Adrienne was arrogant and unmoving,
02:40and he defended plenty of the family elders.
02:44After the accident left him blind,
02:46his old rival seized the chance to hunt him down.
02:51To protect him, I took a bullet to the shoulder,
02:54blood soaking through my clothes.
03:08Hurry, we need to get somewhere safe.
03:10You're hurt.
03:11We need a doctor.
03:12I'm fine.
03:13I can smell the blood.
03:15Chloe, once I'm back on my feet,
03:17I'll give you the grandest wedding in the world.
03:19But the name he called out was Chloe's.
03:22But I am Elena.
03:32Elena, I left my memory card inside.
03:34Mind running back to grab it?
03:43The elevator doors opened,
03:44and I saw the two people inside.
03:46Sorry.
03:47Wait.
03:48You wanted the elevator, right?
03:49Get in.
03:51Thank you, Don Luciano.
03:53He said I could use it,
03:54but didn't budge to let me pass.
03:57Do you work here?
03:58I didn't hear you ask any questions.
04:01No, I'm just an intern
04:03tagging along with my senior
04:04looking for some cheap gossip.
04:07I see.
04:09Come on, Adrienne.
04:11We have a dinner party to get to, remember?
04:15Let's go.
04:18After our parents divorced,
04:20Mother took Chloe and married into the Whitmores.
04:24From as far back as I could remember,
04:26I'd never even seen her.
04:28But five years ago,
04:29she showed up out of nowhere.
04:32I'll give you half a million dollars.
04:35Pose as me and take care of someone.
04:41Back then,
04:42my dad had just passed away.
04:44I wanted to buy him a decent burial plot,
04:47but I was completely broke.
04:48I couldn't even afford a grave,
04:50and our family was drowning in his medical debt.
04:53With no other choice left,
04:54I took her deal.
04:56Only after I met him
04:57did I realize the man she wanted me to look after
04:59was Adrienne Luciano.
05:01They had just gotten engaged
05:03when his accident happened.
05:05Chloe had just started her acting career back then.
05:08Backed by the Whitmore family,
05:09she landed a major role,
05:10and her career took off.
05:13Who wants to nurse a blind man?
05:16Especially a stray dog
05:18kicked out of his own family.
05:22If I weren't afraid of making Don Whitmore unhappy,
05:24I'd have called off this wedding already.
05:26She had to ride that wave,
05:27so she dumped her miserable chore on me.
05:30Adrienne had spent 20 years
05:32living a charmed life,
05:33so losing his sight
05:34made him incredibly bitter.
05:36When I first started caring for him,
05:37he did nothing but lash out at me
05:39with cruel, biting words.
05:41I was getting paid,
05:42so I just took it.
05:43Keep your distance!
05:45Just leave me alone!
05:49Stop acting, Chloe!
05:53You look down on me, don't you?
05:56You're only here because of the engagement!
05:59It was my very first kiss.
06:01Clumsy and desperate,
06:02just a blind clash of taken lips.
06:05Feel that?
06:08Do you still think I can't stand you?
06:18I could feel his scorching breath against my neck.
06:21This is my answer.
06:28The sound of the rain outside was loud.
06:30Loud enough to drown out the sounds
06:32of our mingled breathing
06:33and racing heartbeats.
06:45Elena, I pulled some major strings
06:48to get us into this VIP afterparty tonight.
06:51It's packed with industry elites
06:53and top publishers.
06:55Networking is everything for a reporter,
06:57so make it count.
07:02Is Don Luciano here tonight, too?
07:05This is the dinner Don Luciano's
07:06going to be at, Elena.
07:08I heard the big families
07:09are having a private meeting upstairs.
07:13But we'll be in the media
07:14loud downstairs.
07:16It was too late to back out.
07:18I had to brace myself and walk in.
07:21Fortunately, the venue was huge.
07:24This is the new girl at our paper.
07:25She's sharp.
07:26Elena Harlow.
07:27Reporters like us were never
07:29supposed to run into someone
07:30like Adrian.
07:34My heart skipped a beat.
07:36I tried to pretend I didn't see him
07:38and slip away.
07:42Elena Harlow.
07:43His voice was a low rash,
07:45thick with years of unspoken words.
07:47Adrian walked toward me,
07:49step by step.
07:50Don Luciano.
07:51How do you know my name?
07:53I came down for some fresh air
07:55and saw your boss parading you around.
07:59The whole media lounge
08:00knows your name by now.
08:01Remembering Mark's booming voice,
08:03my face flushed with embarrassment.
08:05I was afraid he'd get the wrong idea
08:07about Mark.
08:08But before I could explain,
08:10Adrian went quiet again.
08:12Do you think I'm that petty,
08:13Miss Harlow?
08:16I didn't mean that.
08:19You're still an intern, right?
08:20I have an opening.
08:22Want to give it a shot?
08:29Sorry, Mark.
08:30My stomach is still weak
08:32from an old surgery.
08:36I really can't drink like that.
08:44Is this Don Luciano's personal card?
08:46Maybe.
08:47I just like what I see.
08:49That did sound like a very
08:50Adrian kind of reason.
08:52During my second year
08:53of taking care of him,
08:55we had grown much closer.
08:57Sometimes he would let his guard down
08:58and show me a completely
09:00different side of him.
09:01Like,
09:02ever since he lost his sight,
09:04that was a smile I rarely saw.
09:06I snapped back to reality
09:09and made up a quick excuse
09:10to change the subject.
09:13You've got flour.
09:15Let me clean it off.
09:17As Adrian's hands grew bolder,
09:20my mind went completely blank.
09:22I wanted him to stop,
09:23yet I ached for him to keep going.
09:27Adrian.
09:28Shh.
09:29I'll pet you very gently.
09:31Since losing his sight,
09:32that expression had rarely
09:34appeared on his face.
09:38You just hit the jackpot, kid.
09:40Keep him happy,
09:40and you're set for life.
09:42Forget it.
09:43A guy like him,
09:44that's a death wish.
09:50Elena,
09:51that imprompto interview
09:52from the Fight Club
09:53is going viral.
09:55The publisher is an old friend of mine,
09:57so go assist them
09:58and learn the ropes.
09:59After that night,
10:01news of their engagement
10:02flooded the tabloids
10:03and online forums.
10:04The comments
10:05were losing it over them.
10:07If we can get the real story
10:09of those two years
10:10with his fiancée,
10:12we've got this in the bag.
10:14I knew every single detail
10:15of those three years
10:17better than anyone.
10:19But my lips
10:20were sealed forever.
10:23Don Luciano,
10:24you've officially announced
10:25your engagement
10:26to Miss Chloe.
10:27Could you tell us a bit
10:29about your journey together?
10:30I never believed
10:31any of those horrible rumors
10:32about him.
10:33To me,
10:34Adrian was always
10:35the man I loved most.
10:37You're lying.
10:43My throat tightened.
10:44For a second,
10:45I felt like I was back
10:46and I spoke to you.
10:52Do you fucking want to die?
10:56Wouldn't it be better
10:56if I died?
11:00If I died,
11:01you'd be free.
11:03In that moment,
11:04I realized the proud,
11:05untouchable air
11:06of the Luciano family
11:07had become so fragile
11:09and broken.
11:10I wouldn't feel free
11:11if you died.
11:12Please,
11:13value your life.
11:14You matter to me.
11:16Not just to me,
11:17but to so many others too.
11:20Promise me
11:21you'll never think
11:21like that again,
11:22okay?
11:25That night,
11:26it felt like
11:27the whole world
11:28had faded away,
11:29leaving only our two hearts
11:31clinging to each other.
11:32I promise.
11:38But now,
11:39he was bringing up
11:39that memory
11:40while the woman
11:41sitting intimately
11:42beside him
11:42was Chloe.
11:44The whole world
11:44believed those precious moments
11:46belonged to her.
11:48Up close,
11:49I could still
11:50catch his scent.
11:51Familiar,
11:51but not the same
11:53and no longer mine.
11:54The moon was the only light
11:55we had that night.
11:57I was completely
11:58in the dark,
11:59but she became my world.
12:06Thanks to my
12:06impromptu questions,
12:08the interview
12:08was a massive success.
12:10Digging up secrets
12:11no one had ever heard.
12:13Great job, Elena.
12:14Those off-prone
12:15questions were gold.
12:20Did you write
12:21today's questions?
12:24You certainly know
12:25how to press a nerve,
12:26Miss Harlow.
12:27But let me warn you,
12:28don't go chasing things
12:29out of your gleek.
12:32Elena is very capable.
12:34If the family has
12:35any media-related business
12:36in the future,
12:38we'll leave it to her.
12:43You're so greedy,
12:44Elena.
12:45You took my money
12:46back then.
12:47What the hell
12:48are you doing
12:48back here?
12:50I graduated.
12:51This is my job.
12:52Your job?
12:54Do you think
12:54I'm stupid?
12:55Get lost!
12:57Tell him you're
12:58declining the offer,
12:59or I'll make your life
13:00a living hell.
13:04Chloe was a woman
13:05of her word.
13:07All of a sudden,
13:08I started running
13:08into roadblocks
13:09everywhere.
13:10And several assignments
13:12that should have gone
13:12to me were handed
13:13to someone else.
13:16The Luciano family
13:17is hosting a private
13:18banquet next month.
13:20Don Adrian specifically
13:21requested you to attend.
13:24Elena,
13:26if you're so curious
13:27about my past,
13:28why don't you ask
13:29me yourself?
13:30I have no desire
13:31to pry into your
13:32personal life,
13:32Don Luciano.
13:33It was purely
13:34professional.
13:35Even if it's work,
13:36I gave you
13:37my personal card.
13:39You could have
13:39reached out.
13:40This wasn't
13:41those three years
13:41when I was the one
13:42by his side.
13:43There was no need.
13:45He was the Don
13:45of the Luciano family
13:47now,
13:47not the broken,
13:48insecure boy
13:49who needed me.
13:50Stop.
13:55Elena,
13:56let's talk.
14:00Over the next two weeks,
14:01Adrian came to see
14:02me twice more.
14:03The Luciano family
14:05banquet was no real
14:06banquet.
14:07It was a private sit-down
14:08for the city's biggest
14:09syndicates to settle
14:10business.
14:11Adrian handpicked me
14:13to be his personal
14:13assistant for the night.
14:15This is the Los Toros
14:16ledger on their money
14:17laundering.
14:18It took my men
14:19three months to get.
14:20You'll need this.
14:22I remained silent
14:23for a moment before
14:24taking it and thanking him.
14:25Don Adrian clearly
14:26likes you.
14:27Why don't you tell him
14:29how Chloe is sabotaging
14:30your career?
14:33Forget it.
14:34He wouldn't pick a fight
14:35with his own fiancé
14:38over some rookie reporter.
14:40Eight round tables
14:41lined the front
14:42of the banquet hall
14:43and the Luciano family
14:44elders had already
14:45taken their seats
14:46at the head table.
14:47But Adrian's seat,
14:48right at the center,
14:50was completely empty.
14:51Midway through the banquet,
14:53the atmosphere
14:54at the head table
14:55suddenly opened
14:55and it finally turned icy.
14:56Mrs. Harlow,
14:57who invited you
14:58here tonight?
14:59And where did you
15:00get those files?
15:02Don Adrian requested
15:03me personally.
15:04He gave me the files.
15:07Is that so?
15:08Who can prove it?
15:09Why would Don Luciano
15:11hire a trashy tabloid
15:12reporter and hand over
15:13such sensitive intel?
15:14With Adrian absent,
15:16I had no way
15:17to prove it.
15:18Because you stole
15:19those files.
15:28Mrs. Harlow,
15:32it's true,
15:33Adrian took a liking
15:34to you.
15:35Her voice was low,
15:36yet sharp enough
15:37for everyone
15:37at the table to hear.
15:38But I cannot stand by
15:40and let you exploit
15:42his trust.
15:49You've been in contact
15:50with people from the police.
15:52You're sitting here tonight
15:54as a rat,
15:57gathering evidence
15:58on the Luciano family.
16:00In our world,
16:01a rat was worse
16:02than an enemy.
16:03If this accusation stuck,
16:05no one could save me.
16:07Not even Adrian.
16:08Adrian strode in,
16:10his sharp eyes
16:11scanning the room.
16:12His gaze swept past my face
16:14without pausing
16:14for even a second.
16:16My heart sank instantly.
16:18All eyes shifted back to me,
16:20waiting to see
16:21what Adrian would do to me.
16:22She lied to Adrian.
16:24She's dead meat.
16:25I almost admire her guts.
16:27What did you just say?
16:28Adrian,
16:29you're being lied to.
16:30She played the reporter
16:31just to gain your trust
16:33and steal these files.
16:34These photos are proof.
16:37Do you have anything to say?
16:44What did I have to say?
16:45I saw the sheer hatred
16:47and triumph in Chloe's eyes.
16:49It was absurd.
16:50Chloe and I were only a year apart.
16:52We were full sisters.
16:54After our father died,
16:55we should have been
16:56the closest people in the world.
16:58I have this to say,
16:59Don Luciano.
17:00Your fiancé is deliberately
17:01framing me with lies.
17:04If you let her frame me
17:07just because you love her,
17:11then I guess I was wrong about you.
17:14the truth will speak for itself.
17:19I won't admit to something I never did.
17:21Any man would be furious
17:22to hear such mockery,
17:24whether the reckless boy of the past
17:26or the cold-blooded dawn of today.
17:28But he wasn't.
17:29He just locked eyes with me
17:31across the crowded room.
17:33And then,
17:34in a very soft voice,
17:35he whispered my name.
17:38Elena.
17:38I didn't want to hear him
17:40defend Chloe.
17:41Every single accusation is a lie.
17:44I never deceived Don Luciano
17:46to achieve some hidden goal.
17:49Never lied to me?
17:53You gave me this ring,
17:55yet you broke our vow.
18:04The ring instantly dragged me back
18:06to a memory from four years ago.
18:08It had been Adrian's 21st birthday.
18:10He spent his first 20 birthdays
18:12in absolute luxury,
18:13but that day,
18:14he was so broke
18:15that only I and a few servants
18:17were by his side.
18:18To cheer him up,
18:19I used what was left
18:20of my living money
18:21and bought us a cheap pair
18:23of matching rings.
18:24What's this?
18:25I found it.
18:27Some couple threw it away
18:28during a fight,
18:29so I kept it.
18:32Don't be picky, Adrian.
18:34Don't tease me like that.
18:35Even if you found it,
18:36I love it.
18:39Because you're the one
18:40who gave it to me.
18:41He was a man of his word.
18:42He wore that cheap ring
18:43every single day
18:45and never took it off.
18:48Speak, Elena.
18:49I have nothing to say.
18:52You have the wrong person,
18:54Don Luciano.
18:55Isn't that ring
18:56a token of love
18:57from your fiancée, Chloe?
18:59I never said
19:00where this ring came from.
19:02How do you know
19:03so much about it?
19:04Before I knew it,
19:05he stood right in front of me.
19:06He was too close to ignore.
19:08What does this mean?
19:11Was the girl who stayed with Adrian
19:12actually that little reporter?
19:14And what about Chloe?
19:15Chloe looked ready
19:16to murder me with her eyes.
19:19Adrian,
19:20don't let her trick you.
19:22She's a born liar.
19:23You can't trust her.
19:24Yes, I lied to you.
19:26I took the money,
19:27posed as Chloe,
19:28and tricked you
19:29for three years.
19:30The moment you got your sight back,
19:32I took the money and left.
19:35Since you always believed
19:36it was Chloe,
19:38and you're engaged to her anyway.
19:40What's the point of digging up
19:41the past now
19:42that I couldn't say another word?
19:46It does matter.
19:49You'd recognize me anywhere.
19:51Does that promise still stand?
19:54I forgot.
20:01Honestly, I lied.
20:03Ever since I left the Luciano family,
20:05Adrian was all I thought about.
20:08During the winter of his 22nd year,
20:10just before he was to return to his family,
20:13our love was at its peak.
20:15New York winters were bone dry indoors,
20:18and our locked fingers would spark with static.
20:20I had wanted to tell him the truth.
20:26Chloe, don't ever leave me.
20:28That name felt like a bucket of ice water
20:30dumped over my head.
20:32It constantly reminded me
20:33that from the very beginning,
20:35I'd come into his life
20:36with a shameful purpose,
20:38Adrian once told me.
20:39When I was a kid,
20:40my cousin locked me
20:41in a suffocating closet.
20:43I could barely breathe.
20:46Since then,
20:47I hate liars more than anything.
20:49If he knew the truth,
20:51would he hate me to the bone?
20:53Right before Adrian's 22nd birthday,
20:56the family elders uncovered the truth.
20:59Adrian had been set up,
21:00and even his car accident was arranged.
21:03They reached out to Chloe to bring him back.
21:06That was when Chloe came to find me.
21:08She was already a big-name star,
21:10looking down her nose at me.
21:14The Luciano family is taking him back,
21:17so get lost.
21:18Don't get any funny ideas.
21:20The Luciano family and Adrian
21:22only recognize me, Chloe.
21:25From the start,
21:26you've been nothing but my cheap knockoff.
21:29Here's another half million.
21:31Stay the hell away from us,
21:34or I'll expose your dead dad's filth
21:37and let the whole world spit on him.
21:46Chloe, he's your father too!
21:50My father is Don Whitmore.
21:52What is he to me?
21:53He was nothing but a cheap gigolo.
22:08Am I wrong?
22:09Take the money and get out of our lives,
22:11or I'll have his grave desecrated,
22:15and he'll never rest in peace.
22:19She was right.
22:20I never had the right to stand by Adrian's side.
22:24Chloe was lavish with money.
22:25That half million was more than enough
22:27for me to clear the debts
22:28and live a peaceful life in some quiet town.
22:31But in the end...
22:33Two years ago,
22:35my father's illness left our family drowning in debt.
22:38After he passed away,
22:39I couldn't even afford a decent burial plot.
22:41That was when Chloe contacted me.
22:43You want money?
22:44He barely raised me?
22:46He's dead, so let him be.
22:48Why the hell should I pay for him?
22:50He wanted custody of you back then.
22:52You were the one who cried
22:53and insisted on going with mom.
22:54Of course I went with mom to the Whitmers.
22:57Did you think I was as stupid as you?
22:59What, did you two actually expect to keep me there?
23:02To drag me down into your pathetic,
23:04dirt-poor life
23:05where you can't even afford a grave?
23:09I can give you money,
23:11but you should promise me one thing.
23:19Miss Chloe, is what Adrian said true?
23:21Were you really not the one who saved him?
23:25Were those accusations against Miss Harlow
23:27just fabricated lies?
23:28Adrian, you know me.
23:31I've been with you for years.
23:32How could I do something like that?
23:34Don't be scared.
23:35Didn't you have solid proof?
23:37The Luciano family enforcers are here.
23:40They will handle the investigation.
23:42We will deal with this
23:43according to family rules.
23:52It's raining outside.
23:54Let me drive you.
23:55Rain was drumming hard against the windows.
23:57I hesitated for three seconds
23:59before stepping into his car.
24:06Am I the only one who thinks Adrian is the real victim?
24:08Both women lied to him.
24:10In two years, the city had barely changed,
24:12but the distance between us
24:14had grown impossibly wide.
24:16Back then, the Luciano family
24:17hired the best eye specialists.
24:19After two major surgeries,
24:21Adrian could finally see again.
24:28Adrian, I'm here.
24:50I was so worried about you.
24:53She had trained her voice
24:54to sound almost exactly like mine.
24:58You promised you'd be the first person I saw.
25:01You lied.
25:02I couldn't listen to the rest.
25:04A sharp pain stabbed deep into my chest.
25:07From the start,
25:08in Adrian's world,
25:09the one who had stayed by his side
25:11through those two years was Chloe.
25:13It was never me.
25:14Never Elena Harlow.
25:19Adrian kissed me.
25:20He really loves me
25:21and can't live without me.
25:23You took good care of him,
25:25but I get all the credit.
25:26A nobody like you
25:28will never stand beside him.
25:31Chloe.
25:33Chloe.
25:36Shh.
25:38Shh.
25:39Shh.
25:42Shh.
25:43Shh.
25:44Shh.
25:44Shh.
25:44Shh.
25:44Shh.
25:45Shh.
25:47Shh.
25:53Where are you going?
25:56Home?
25:57Could you drop me off
25:59at the office, Don Luciano?
26:01I still have work to do.
26:04Elena,
26:06do you really have to call me that?
26:08Once again,
26:09he acted like the victim here,
26:10and I was done holding back.
26:14What else should I call you?
26:15Don Luigiano?
26:16Or Adrian?
26:18Want to do what you did four years ago?
26:20And call me Chloe while I'm bleeding for you?
26:23Those three years are over.
26:25You are engaged to Chloe.
26:27Your life is back on track,
26:29so stop playing with me.
26:30That is not what happened.
26:32I'd never really known Chloe.
26:35From the very start,
26:36the only person I recognized was you.
26:38That is a lie.
26:41The day your bandages came off,
26:42I heard you.
26:44I saw the bite mark on her lip.
26:47I never touched her!
26:49From the first second I opened my eyes,
26:51I knew she wasn't you.
26:53The Luciano family was a mess back then.
26:56That hospital room was full of people
26:57waiting for me to die.
26:59The second I realized she wasn't you,
27:01I made my choice.
27:02Chloe was the best,
27:04the most perfect shield.
27:06She wanted to play the part,
27:07so I let her.
27:08My mind flashed back to an old headline.
27:10Chloe had barely survived
27:12a real explosion on set.
27:14I had to keep you safe.
27:15After my father died,
27:17my uncles came after me one by one.
27:19Now,
27:19they either take my orders
27:21or sleep with the fishes.
27:22I don't care about dying.
27:24When my uncle was forced to give up
27:26the family business,
27:27he snapped and stabbed me.
27:29I didn't even feel the pain.
27:32Running this family is a blood board.
27:35But after today,
27:37Chloe and the rest of the threats
27:39will be gone.
27:40I am yours, Elena.
27:41The entire Luciano empire is yours.
27:53But you're still engaged to Chloe.
27:54I never kissed her.
27:56Not once.
27:58In my whole life.
28:00I have only ever kissed you.
28:02With those words,
28:03my last defense crumbled.
28:05I leaned in and kissed him,
28:08letting all the years of pain
28:09wash away.
28:11All the feelings I'd buried for years
28:13came crashing out
28:14in that fierce,
28:15breathless kiss.
28:17By the time the storm passed,
28:18it was already midnight.
28:19Good night.
28:19Good night.
28:22Good night.
28:34Good night.
28:37Good night.
28:38Good night.
28:41Good night.
28:42Good night.
28:44Good night.
28:46Good night.
28:47Good night.
28:48Good night.
28:52Last month, my half-brother blackmailed her.
28:54He threatened to expose her unless she stole Luciano Files.
28:58I know.
28:59You knew?
29:02I came back to destroy the Whitmords.
29:05To destroy Chloe and avenge my father.
29:09I will pay any price to clear his name.
29:12Years ago, the eldest son of the Whitmore family set his sights on my mother.
29:17He framed my father for sexual assault, and Chloe gave false testimony just to become a rich princess, throwing her
29:24own father to the wolves.
29:26My father spent 15 days in jail.
29:28He lost his job and faced endless whispers.
29:31He took me and fled to the countryside in shame.
29:34He spent the rest of his life in misery, dying of illness not long after turning 50.
29:39On his deathbed, the television was broadcasting a story about the Whitmores, calling them a perfect model family.
29:48My father had only me by his side when he died.
29:51His cheeks were socken, and he was nothing but skin and bone.
29:54He deserved a long life.
29:57The Whitmales built their empire on dirty money.
30:00Yet they got to be heroes because they controlled the media.
30:06Don Adrian, I used you.
30:08I knew you hated traitors.
30:10So I set Chloe up to cross your line.
30:13You can hate me for it, but I had to avenge my father.
30:16Elena, you're shaking.
30:20Don't be afraid.
30:21You used me, and I'm glad you did.
30:23It means I'm still useful to you.
30:26I am on your side.
30:27Always.
30:28Like I said, my life and the entire Luciano family belong to you.
30:52News of Chloe being hauled away for investigation trended for three straight days, sparking wild speculation.
31:00Desperate to squash the rumors, the Whitmores came to Adrian, begging for help.
31:05Your family loyalty is touching.
31:07But on this matter, I defer to Elena.
31:14Sorry, but you owe me this.
31:17After that, Adrian agreed to an exclusive interview at his estate.
31:20It was with a paid subscription site focused on mob exposés, run by an anonymous crime reporter known only as
31:27The Ghost.
31:27The edited video was posted on The Ghost's dark web forum, but it quickly leaked to the mainstream internet.
31:34Is your engagement to Chloe Whitmore still on?
31:37Engagement?
31:38I never said it was her.
31:40I only ever meant the girl who looked after me.
31:42But the girl who cared for you, we heard she only did it because Chloe paid her.
31:47My friend, you've got it all wrong.
31:51There are plenty of rich men out there, so why was I the one she chose?
31:57It was because she loved me.
31:59The audio clip spread like wildfire.
32:02Some called him deeply romantic, while others claimed it was a PR stunt.
32:06But before that storm could settle, another bomb dropped.
32:09An anonymous audio file was leaked, completely shattering Chloe's carefully built reputation.
32:15It was the recording of Chloe confronting me years ago.
32:18Who wants to care for a blind man?
32:21He's just a stray dog.
32:24Why should I care if our dad is sick and in debt?
32:26That's not my problem!
32:29I need to hold onto the Whitmores to climb up!
32:32I won't stay poor and able to afford a grave like you.
32:36The internet went into a frenzy over Chloe.
32:39Wait, I thought she was a class arc Hollywood star?
32:42So she and Elena are sisters?
32:43She literally paid her own sister to replace her.
32:45She wears million dollar outfits, but wouldn't pay for her dad's funeral.
32:49That's disgusting!
32:50I decided to tell the truth about what happened back then to millions of viewers.
