00:00...hardship beside her husband.
00:04Stay quiet for me. It is just a translation job.
00:09But the call was not a job. It was the truth.
00:12Morgan warned him Claire was destroying her body to pay debts that never existed.
00:17If I'd not faked bankruptcy, Claire would never agree to the divorce.
00:20Chloe has cancer. I will marry her first, then remarry Claire.
00:24One word turned Claire's marriage into ice.
00:27Compromise. He still believed she knew nothing.
00:32Claire, let us get divorced.
00:37Okay.
00:38She asked no questions, because every answer had already killed something inside her.
00:43He could not even wait until morning.
00:51The clerk's office is still open. We can file now.
00:54Every step towards the courthouse sounded like the end of her old life.
01:00She had once believed she was the woman he chose.
01:02No decent man falls for his own niece.
01:05Now she understood.
01:08Maybe she had only been a wall between him and Chloe.
01:11To him, it was temporary paperwork.
01:14Do not fall for anyone else.
01:16I will marry you again in a month.
01:21No, Julian.
01:23There is no fake divorce.
01:25Only a real one.
01:29By dawn, Claire stopped asking why and started planning how to leave.
01:38Natalie, I want to come to Paris and join your team.
01:41The dream she abandoned for marriage was still waiting.
01:44She had once been a genius, fluent in eight languages.
01:55This time, she would not choose Julian over herself.
02:01Then Chloe sent proof of what Claire had already heard.
02:04He divorced you because he could not wait to marry me.
02:08Claire finally understood that Julian's smile, just never for her.
02:14One job after another, she quit the life she had used to save a lie.
02:19Finish tonight's shift, and you can leave after that.
02:25Only one last bar karm chef remained.
02:29That night, poverty vanished from Julian like a costume.
02:36Finally marrying the girl you wanted for years?
02:38Pick a supercar as wedding favor.
02:41Claire stood there with a tray in her hands and the truth at her feet.
02:44You had her dress and ring made years ago.
02:47Why not give Chloe the real wedding, too?
02:50Every joke in that room was another knife.
02:54See, Claire heard enough to know the next wound was coming.
03:01Then someone finally asked the question Claire had once been afraid to ask.
03:05You still plan to remarry, Claire?
03:07Don't tell me you actually fell for her.
03:09Fell for her?
03:10I feel nothing.
03:11It's only to keep Chloe from getting torn apart by gossip.
03:14Every word drove into Claire's chest like a cold needle.
03:17For one second, she thought he had seen her.
03:22You.
03:22Stop.
03:23Turn around.
03:24Honey, why did you come to a bar without telling me?
03:28Chloe saved Claire by stealing the whole room again.
03:32They clung to each other as naturally as breathing.
03:36I am your uncle.
03:37Behave, behave.
03:38Husband.
03:40Husband.
03:41Husband.
03:42Husband.
03:43Claire walked out because the ex-wife had no place there.
03:57You're still up?
04:00We're divorced.
04:02Didn't we just get married?
04:04Chloe, we're husband and wife.
04:06Julian, open your eyes.
04:08Do you even know who I am?
04:09You're my wife.
04:11You called me honey.
04:13Say it again.
04:14One more time.
04:17All night, he kissed Claire and whispered love words meant for someone else.
04:25Chloe, say you love me too.
04:28The part of Claire that still bled finally hollowed out.
04:34Julian opened his eyes and found Claire's gaze on him.
04:39Claire?
04:41What am I doing here?
04:43Claire said nothing.
04:45There was nothing left to say.
04:55You were drunk.
04:56You came to the wrong place.
04:58Did I say anything I shouldn't have?
05:04Before she understood what was happening, Julian dragged her out the door.
05:09Where are you taking me?
05:10Chloe was in a car accident.
05:12She needs 1,000 cc of blood.
05:13You have the same rare type.
05:15Claire fell silent.
05:1610,000 cc.
05:17She might not survive.
05:19I'll donate.
05:20But for 1,000 cc, I want 100 million.
05:23You've never asked me for a cent.
05:24Why now?
05:25Fine.
05:25I'll write you an IU do.
05:27I want it now.
05:34A hundred million arrived faster than love ever had.
05:43Borrowed it from a rich friend?
05:44Yes.
05:45Now will you do it?
05:46Even now, he kept acting broke.
05:51By the time the bag was full, Claire's vision was already darkening.
05:57Mr. Ashford!
05:58The OR just called.
05:59They still need another 200 cc.
06:02Then take more.
06:04If we draw any more, she could die.
06:06Then let her die.
06:07I just want Chloe safe.
06:14Claire closed her eyes.
06:16This was the man she had loved with everything she had.
06:24Claire had not expected to wake up.
06:28You lost 1,200 cc.
06:30We almost lost you.
06:32I am okay.
06:33But something inside her had not survived.
06:36Julian never came.
06:37Chloe did.
06:38Every day.
06:40Through the phone.
06:41Look how gently he takes care of me.
06:46The knife still hurt.
06:48But it no longer cut as deep.
06:50Before leaving New York, Claire wanted one clean goodbye.
06:55Chloe invited everyone from college.
06:57It will be fun.
07:03But Chloe had planned something else.
07:05Chloe turned Claire's suffering into entertainment.
07:11If I had known you were divorced, I could have asked my uncle to leave you something.
07:17I'm all set to escape.
07:19So, there's nothing left to say.
07:26Claire, do you have time to be my bridesmaid?
07:28My uncle will be there too.
07:30The whole crowd's waiting for me to break down.
07:32But I won't.
07:33I gave Chloe no tears to enjoy.
07:37Congratulations.
07:38But I am busy.
07:39So, I will not attend.
07:44What wedding?
07:47It's nothing, Uncle Julian.
07:48You're here now.
07:49Let's go.
07:49But Julian, no move to leave.
07:51Instead, he held out his hand to Claire.
07:53Claire, come on.
07:53I'll take you home.
07:54That won't be necessary.
07:55We're already divorced.
07:57Sorry, I forgot.
07:58I'll take Chloe home first.
08:00Chloe seriously has the best life.
08:02A husband whose whole world revolves around her.
08:03Look at Claire.
08:04Just from being Chloe's roommate, she got to live the high life for two years.
08:07And what good did it do her?
08:08Two years of youth gone, not a dime to show for it.
08:10Humiliating.
08:10Claire stopped, then turned and took the stairs instead.
08:15So, you're the one who let word get out about my divorce from Claire.
08:17Did you not hear a single thing I told you?
08:19I just let it slip.
08:20It's not even a big deal.
08:21Are you really going to get mad at me?
08:22I'm not mad, but my divorce from Claire and my marriage do not things you're allowed to tell anyone.
08:26I really didn't mean to.
08:27Please don't be mad at me, okay?
08:28Don't let it happen again.
08:30Uncle Julian, you said you'd give me anything.
08:32I want to kiss you.
08:34Are you going to say yes?
08:35He did not say yes.
08:36He did not say no.
08:37He just wrapped an arm around her waist.
08:39Who said you could kiss me?
08:44I stayed alone in the corridor late at night for a very long time.
08:50When she got home, another message from Chloe was waiting.
08:54Photos of a three-bitten hours and a shirt smeared with lipstick.
08:57Chloe's words dripped with triumph.
08:59My passport and visa were ready.
09:05I turned to leave and crashed straight into Julian.
09:08What do you need a passport for?
09:10I nearly told him the truth.
09:12Chloe interrupted first.
09:13What a coincidence.
09:14Come have lunch with us.
09:16No thanks.
09:17I am not hungry.
09:19But Chloe refused to take no for an answer and practically dragged her along.
09:25Once in the car, Chloe ate like a child, scattering crumbs everywhere.
09:29When she complained about the seat, he pulled over and adjusted it for nearly half an hour.
09:33No scallions, no ginger, no garlic.
09:35Make sure the kitchen knows.
09:36Only love carved into the bone could look like that.
09:44Uncle Julian already agreed to a wedding in the Maldives.
09:46I just squeezed out a few tears and he said yes.
09:48He's completely hooked now.
09:49Every night he rushes home early.
09:50He holds me and kisses me like he can't get enough.
09:52Then congratulations.
09:53I hope you get exactly what you want and marry the person you love most.
09:57He knows perfectly well.
09:58I faked the cancer and he still chose me.
10:00Are you still too blind to see it?
10:02He loves me.
10:03Everything is crystal clear to me now.
10:05Chloe knew exactly when to fall.
10:12Claire made me finish a whole bottle of wine.
10:14Are you trying to kill her?
10:16I'm too tired to explain myself to someone who never wants to listen.
10:20If you've already decided it was me, then fine.
10:22Let it be me.
10:23If I finish this bottle, can I go?
10:24Julian never told her to stop.
10:26The moment the alcohol hit her stomach, her whole body began to react.
10:29The icy water rose over her face.
10:31Drop Rolt slid down like tears.
10:33But I didn't cry.
10:33All I felt was relief.
10:35He called it a business trip.
10:36I knew it was a wedding.
10:38When I come back, we can remarry.
10:46This time, their paths split for good.
10:52The sunlight in the Maldedives was flawless.
10:55And Julian gave Chloe a lavish wedding there.
10:57...to have and to hold from this day forward.
11:04Husband, we should go toast the guests.
11:06So many people showed up today.
11:08Guests kept praising them as a perfect match.
11:10Glowed with happiness.
11:11For a second, the woman he thought he had seen at the airport flashed through Julian's
11:14mind again.
11:15Husband, I'm finally yours.
11:17I've loved you for so long.
11:17Listening to her sluttered confession, Julian's eyes softened with indulgent fondness.
11:22Husband.
11:23After a wedding night, wild enough to blur into dawn, Julian woke to find Chloe, sleeping
11:27peacefully in his arms.
11:28But the truth was, he kept thinking about Claire.
11:31Husband.
11:32She had become like a shadow.
11:34Today, he was going back.
11:36He found himself impatient to see Claire.
11:38Guys, I'm going to remarry Claire when we get back.
11:40It's going to be a surprise.
11:42Relax, Julian.
11:42We got you.
11:43We won't say a word.
11:44When Claire finds out, she's going to lose her mind.
11:46In a good way.
11:48Kind of sucks for Chloe, though.
11:51Husband, can't we just stay together forever?
11:53I told you before.
11:54We only had one month.
11:56Chloe, I'm your uncle.
11:57One month was already pushing it.
11:59Then Uncle Julian do me one more time.
12:00It's still early.
12:01Seeing Claire a little later won't matter.
12:03That innocent look drew a low laugh out of him, and he pinched her cheek.
12:07One last time, babe.
12:09Sated and thoroughly pleased, Julian straightened his shirt and prepared to leave.
12:14He thought of Claire waiting in that tiny rental.
12:17A faint smile touched his lips.
12:20He didn't know that she was already gone.
12:25Julian pushed open the car door and signaled for Chloe to get out.
12:29Stop.
12:30Husband, it's still early.
12:31I told you from the start.
12:32We had one month.
12:33That month is over.
12:35This ends here.
12:39After parking in the Hilton garage, Julian skipped the lobby and headed straight upstairs.
12:44His clothes were wrinkled beyond saving.
12:46Hey, Julian, relax.
12:48We already came up with the story.
12:49Claire's hopelessly in love with you.
12:51She'll never suspect a thing.
12:52Shut up.
12:54The second he saw more than 20 missed calls, his heart slammed hard against his ribs.
13:00Julian, Claire's gone.
13:02Each word exploded in his ears like thunder.
13:05The blood in his body seemed to rush backward.
13:07He remembered the woman at the airport.
13:10Julian, there's nothing.
13:11Not even a strand of hair.
13:13No one named Claire on any departure list.
13:15All he got was the cold message that her phone was off.
13:17The text bounced back with red exclamation marks.
13:21The apartment was empty.
13:22The windows stood wide open, curtains lifting in the sunlight.
13:25Their photos were gone.
13:26Every trace that Claire had ever lived there had vanished.
13:29Like a madman, he searched for proof that she had loved him.
13:31He found nothing.
13:32His eyes reddened, and he could not understand why his heart hurt this much.
13:36Not until his gaze landed on the divorce certificate lying on the table did the pain drove in deep.
13:40Julian picked it up, his fingers trembling.
13:42Their names were printed there, clear and cruel.
13:44For the first time, true suffocation set in.
13:47She was really gone.
13:48He closed his eyes.
13:49Nothing left but the wind and his broken breathing.
13:53Maybe Claire had known all along.
13:58I was wrong.
13:59Hit me.
14:00Scream at me.
14:01Just do not leave me.
14:05But repentance had no listener.
14:07Julian, get it together.
14:08Just track her phone.
14:09If we find the phone, we find her.
14:11That suggestion finally dragged a sliver of reason back into him.
14:14He ordered Morgan to investigate.
14:16An hour passed.
14:17It felt like a lifetime.
14:18He sat like a statue carved out of shock.
14:21We found Miss Hollis' phone.
14:22He snatched a phone and fumbled to power it on.
14:25Those few seconds stretched into pure torture.
14:27If Uncle Julian comes after you, he second I call him throw you running back to me.
14:31Rage flashed through him so violently, his vision nearly went black.
14:35This couldn't be the only one.
14:36There had to be more.
14:37Every social media account had been wiped clean.
14:39The contacts too.
14:40All except one name.
14:41Chloe Fairmich.
14:42The newest message was a video.
14:44Sent that very afternoon.
14:45Filmed in the car.
14:46Couldn't bring himself to press.
14:48He scrolled up.
14:49Three or four videos.
14:50Every single day.
14:52Messages from Chloe filled the screen.
14:54Taunting.
14:54Gloating.
14:55Vicious.
14:56Every single one a knife Claire had silently taken.
14:59Rage swallowed every last shred of reason.
15:01There was only one thought left.
15:02Find Chloe and make her pay.
15:04Then a sound came from outside.
15:05His heart slammed against his ribs.
15:06Was Claire back?
15:10Claire.
15:11But it wasn't Claire.
15:13Mr. Ashford, we found the flight she left on.
15:15It was heading to France.
15:17Julian looked at her name on the paper.
15:18His shattered expression slowly hardened into cold, reckless resolve.
15:25Chloe came to gloat over a woman who was already gone.
15:31I warned you not to provoke Claire.
15:34Is this what you call listening?
15:36For the first time, her tears did not protect her.
15:42Her own phone told the rest of the story.
15:47I only did it because I love you too much.
15:50Please do not be mad.
15:52Love was the mask she used for cruelty.
15:55Claire had swallowed all of it until the day she left without a word.
16:02How many times did I make her watch this?
16:07He finally saw Chloe without the fantasy.
16:10The title she stole finally turned poisonous.
16:15I am your uncle, not your husband.
16:18You married me.
16:19You came running to me.
16:21Does that not mean you like me?
16:23Her question was cruel because it was true.
16:25Rage became violence before anyone could stop it.
16:29Julian, calm down.
16:30The most important thing is finding Claire.
16:35Only Claire's name pulled him back from the edge.
16:41Even broken on the floor, Chloe still wanted one answer.
16:46Did you ever feel anything for me?
16:49I married you to grant your wish.
16:51Nothing more.
16:52The lie she built her life on collapsed.
16:56What about the way you kissed me?
16:59What about when you slept beside me?
17:03His answer was a slap.
17:07Chloe's final weapon was the truth.
17:10You spoiled me.
17:11You divorced her for me.
17:13You let me do all of this.
17:18He could punish Chloe, but he could not escape himself.
17:22Chloe could not accept it.
17:24That very same day, with public opinion already exploding online, Chloe suddenly went live.
17:30My uncle, we're truly in love.
17:32He's already be prayed to the man I love.
17:35Nothing can stop us.
17:37That night, Julian boarded a flight to France.
17:40He carried only a briefcase and a divorce certificate, pressed against his heart.
17:45In the dim cabin light, he traced her name again, Claire Hollis.
17:48Every letter of wound.
17:49The playing, a man who had finally understood what he lost.
17:54By morning, Ashford Group answered.
17:57Julian Ashford has only ever loved Claire Hollis.
18:00Chloe Fairland will apologize for everything she has done.
18:07She did not make it past the door.
18:12Everything I did was so we could be together.
18:14When did I ever say,
18:16I would be with you?
18:20He named every debt she owed Claire.
18:25You framed her, ruined her hands, and drove her into despair.
18:29Now learn consequences.
18:33No one outside would know what happened there.
18:36A week later, her account posted again.
18:39I framed Claire Hollis.
18:40I faked my illness.
18:42I was the mistress.
18:44Claire, I was wrong.
18:47The internet heard terror and treated it like entertainment.
18:52Punishing Chloe did not bring Claire home.
18:56It should not feel empty when you come back.
19:01So he rebuilt a home for a woman who had erased the address.
19:05His people searched every trail and found nothing.
19:13There is still no confirmed location for Ms. Hollis.
19:17Claire had become the only thing.
19:19Julian could not buy back.
19:22The apology had been out for days.
19:24Julian's men never stopped searching.
19:26But Claire Hollis had vanished like she never existed.
19:28If only I had come to my senses sooner.
19:30If only I hadn't indulged Chloe again and again.
19:32He imagined countless endings, each softer and sadder than the last.
19:35Claire was gone.
19:36She was no longer by his side.
19:37His friends entered and exchanged uneasy looks.
19:39They thought they could cheer him up.
19:41They didn't understand.
19:42Maybe she's just waiting for you to chase after her.
19:45Once she sees you're not desperate, she'll come crawling back.
19:47Every word was shallow and arrogant.
19:49None of them believed a man like this could love only one woman.
19:52They didn't understand his regret.
19:54To them, she was just Claire Hollis.
19:56A woman who loved Julian too much.
19:57A woman who would obediently come back.
19:59Claire Hollis is my life.
20:00If I hear more word-dispecting, swear I'll make your families pay every last one of you.
20:03Silence crashed down.
20:04It wasn't just the madness on his face.
20:06It was the fact that he could actually do it.
20:09Why is Julian acting like some tragic lover now?
20:11Back when he had Chloe, he never once put Claire first.
20:14See someone who looks like this.
20:15He didn't believe Julian would reject her.
20:17Before long, a girl arrived who looked somewhat like Claire.
20:20In the dim lighting, the resemblance was enough to blur at first glance.
20:23Claire?
20:24No.
20:24You're not her.
20:25Get out.
20:25He stared at the impostody, eyes hardening.
20:28She was nothing like Claire.
20:29The shape was there, but the soul was all wrong.
20:32The girl fled.
20:32Julian was left alone again, the room emptier than before.
20:36I will find you, Claire, no matter where you are.
20:38No matter how long it takes.
20:42The regret was still there, but now it was fuel.
20:45He would search the world if he had to.
20:47The resemblance became a trigger, not a comfort.
20:53Julian, stop!
20:55You are going to kill her!
20:57He could no longer tell guilt from enemy.
20:59When the girl escaped, his fury found everyone else.
21:03This is all your fault.
21:05Claire would not have left if it were not for you!
21:11Every bottle became a confession he could not bear to hear.
21:15Days without sleep, nights full of alcohol, and one vanished woman finally broke him.
21:21Call an ambulance!
21:22Now!
21:26The heir of Ashford Group fell in his own wreckage.
21:29When he woke, only one name mattered.
21:37Claire?
21:38Is she back yet?
21:40Have you lost your mind over one woman?
21:42The family finally saw the cost.
21:45The scandal had escaped the private room.
21:49Julian Ashford faked bankruptcy, divorced his loyal wife, and crossed the line with his own niece.
21:57Power did not keep shame from spreading.
22:00To contain the damage, the Ashford family removed him from power.
22:03Until further notice, you are suspended from all duties.
22:09Julian lost the company, and still only feared losing Claire forever.
22:16Months passed.
22:17Claire did not return.
22:20Claire, I was wrong.
22:22Please come back.
22:28Every morning made the same lie harder to believe.
22:31Then even his body began to leave him.
22:35You need treatment immediately.
22:37The condition is serious.
22:43Julian realized he might not have long left.
22:46He kept speaking into a silence that never answered.
22:50Miss Fair kieft is pregnant, and we found a shop owner in the Maldives who looks like Miss Hollis.
22:55Hope and horror arrived in the same call.
22:59Before flying to Claire, Julian wanted to erase the last consequence of Chloe.
23:03Get rid of it.
23:07Did you ever love me?
23:11His silence answered everything.
23:13He crossed oceans on a body that was already failing.
23:20Just once.
23:21Wait for me, Claire.
23:24But Claire's life had already moved towards someone else.
23:28Six months ago, I came to the seaside to start my life new.
23:33Hyasrith means hope and rebirth.
23:36I want you to have Antalene.
23:37I want you to have beautiful things forever.
23:40The woman Julian lost was learning how to bloom.
23:44In the Maldives, Claire built a life that smelled of coffee, sugar, and sea wind.
23:52Miss Claire, your tattoo is so pretty.
23:55Thank you, sweetheart.
23:56Every small kindness stitched her back together.
23:59When she first arrived in the Maldives, life had been nowhere near us.
24:06I'd lost my paper.
24:08Help, help, please.
24:08Danger loomed close, and the wrist that sacrificed blood for Julian was ripped apart in the woods.
24:14Ethan Holloway found her while he was out painting.
24:21Stay with me.
24:23You are safe now.
24:24Asking for no blood, no obedience, no disappearance.
24:31Ethan turned the scar into a flower.
24:36I want every day of your life to be the life you choose.
24:41I trusted him.
24:43Little by little, I found myself waiting for the sound of his footsteps.
24:49Shh.
24:50I have a huge surprise today.
24:52What is it this time?
24:58He remembered the birthday no one had bothered to celebrate for me all those years.
25:04Claire, happy birthday.
25:06I do.
25:06For the first time in a long time, Claire chose love without fear.
25:10Across the ocean, he finally reached the place that smelled like a new life.
25:15This place.
25:21Warmth hurt more than emptiness.
25:25He saw her hands before her face.
25:27Then he heard her voice.
25:32An iced Americano with orange soda, please.
25:35Of course.
25:35It may take a few minutes.
25:38There was no mistaking that voice.
25:41Claire turned around, and the past stood in front of her.
25:46Claire.
25:48Only under her calm eyes did he remember how she used to look at him.
25:53Then Ethan walked through the door with a paper bag.
25:57Claire!
25:58I got out early.
25:59I brought the tacos you were craving.
26:04Julian saw her smile before he understood who Ethan was.
26:09Their intimacy was not performed for anyone.
26:12That made it worse.
26:14Why are you two this lovey-duggy every day?
26:19Julian stood outside a happiness that could have been his.
26:31He had crossed oceans to find her.
26:34But the Claire he had lost was no longer here.
26:36She had rebuilt herself somewhere he couldn't reach.
26:39.
26:39You
