00:00In our third year together, my boyfriend Dustin Foster went bankrupt.
00:04When we were down and out, we lived in a tunnel and ate near-expired instant noodles.
00:09Instead of leaving him, I chose to be by his side and see him rise again.
00:15On the 85th day of living in the tunnel, I sold my late mother's belongings and bought him a birthday
00:20present.
00:20Full of joy, I was going to give him a surprise.
00:23Emily Blake, Dustin's neighbor and childhood sweetheart suddenly sent me a link.
00:27Click to check.
00:28Surprise.
00:30It was a prank live streaming station.
00:33Unexpectedly, live stream on me ranked first.
00:36I trembled as I clicked on it.
00:38In the split screen display, on one side was me pathetically staying in the tunnel, shivering in the chilly wind,
00:44while on the other side was Dustin whining and dining in a five-star hotel.
00:48What a fool.
00:49Dustin just took a second look at that watch, and Caroline actually sold her mother's precious belongings to buy it.
00:55The 10th time she got tricked, she was thrown into a forest.
00:57The 20th time, she drank until she had gastrolasia while trying to help her drunk boyfriend.
01:03Dustin made a bet online that if she could survive a hundred such pranks, he would marry her.
01:08Only the last three times left now.
01:10Will she finally be killed by Dustin, or will Dustin swallow the humiliation and marry her?
01:14Three million.
01:16I bet she can't survive Dustin's pranks in the end, lol.
01:19Today was Dustin's birthday.
01:21I sold my last precious possession so I could make him a birthday celebration.
01:25Even so, the birthday dinner was modest.
01:27A cake, three homemade dishes, and a birthday gift I'd carefully picked for him.
01:31With everything set, I clutched the pregnancy test report I received that morning, my heart brimming with anticipation as I
01:38waited for him to walk through the door.
01:40After three long years together, we were finally going to have a child.
01:44I slipped the pregnancy report under his birthday present.
01:46It was my secret surprise for him.
01:48I just wanted Dustin to know, no matter how hard life got, I'd always stand by his side and face
01:53it all together.
01:54Just as I was lost and happy daydreams about our future, a post on my feed caught my eye.
01:59Happy birthday to me!
02:01The photos showed a massive dining table loaded with lobsters, crabs, caviar, and different fancy foods.
02:07Countless bottles of champagne and red wine crowded the scene, and he was surrounded by people who used to be
02:12close to him but had turned against him.
02:14But what really made my heart sink was seeing Emily right there at his side.
02:18Emily was Dustin's next-door neighbor, his childhood sweetheart.
02:21Back when his stepmother was making his life unbearable, the Blake family gave him shelter and warmth.
02:27Dustin was deeply grateful to the Blake family, and he spoiled Emily to no end, treating her even better than
02:32his own kin.
02:33But sophomore year in college, Emily fell for a guy who ended up pursuing me instead.
02:38From that day on, she swore to hate me and made me her sworn enemy.
02:42To be with me, Dustin broke ties with Emily, and both the Blake and Foster families, along with their network
02:47of old allies, all joined forces to crush him.
02:50If it hadn't been for all that, someone born with every advantage like Dustin would never have ended up living
02:56in the tunnel.
02:57But there he was.
02:58Raising glasses and parting with all of them, the post disappeared as quickly as it came, making me wonder if
03:03I'd just imagine the whole thing.
03:06Want to know the real story?
03:08Enter this site.
03:09Here's the invite code.
03:11Emily's message suddenly popped up on my phone.
03:13I stared at her message numbly for a moment.
03:16Then, the words, prank livestream, popped up on the screen.
03:20Below, a snarky little line read, crushing the wannabes who dare crawl toward high society.
03:26At the very top of the homepage, a banner read, race to the only 100 prank livestream on the internet.
03:3497 out of 100, I recognized that cover image, which had popped up on Dustin's computer more than once.
03:40He always said it was a record of our love story, something he'd play for everyone at our wedding.
03:45When I saw that familiar interface, my hands trembled as I clicked on the site.
03:49In the split-screen display, on one side was me pathetically staying in the tunnel, shivering in the chilly wind,
03:55while on the other side was Dustin whining and dining in a five-star hotel.
03:59What a complete moron.
04:02Dustin's out feasting on gourmet meals every day, and she actually thinks he's out making business moves or meeting investors.
04:08How long has she been living off instant noodles?
04:1080 days? Maybe more?
04:11Ever since they started living in the tunnel, it's been nothing but instant noodles for her.
04:14Last time, Dustin just glanced at that watch, and she really sold her mother's last mementi to buy it for
04:19her.
04:22Remember when they dumped her way out in the middle of the woods?
04:25Or that time she downed drink after drink?
04:26Trying to protect Dustin when he was just faking being drunk?
04:30And wound up with a bleeding stomach?
04:32Man, what an idiot!
04:33Who but a wannabe social climber would actually end up living in a tunnel?
04:39Does she honestly believe that suffering through all this with Dustin is going to earn her a spot in the
04:43foster family?
04:44Hey, it might just work.
04:47Back then, we literally threw down an online bet.
04:50If she survives a hundred pranks, Dustin has to take her home as his wife.
04:56Only the last three times left now!
05:00Will she finally be killed by Dustin?
05:04Or will Dustin swallow the humiliation and marry her?
05:07Three million.
05:08I bet she can't survive Dustin's pranks in the end.
05:12She's impossible to finish off!
05:16Three million dollars says Dustin bites the dust!
05:19Dustin, it's not too late to back out.
05:22As long as you don't hit the hundred prank mark, you don't have to marry her!
05:25I'll marry her.
05:27Dustin, don't tell me you're actually catching feelings for her.
05:29Dustin just flashed a subtle smile and kept swirling his wine glass, choosing to stay silent.
05:34My eyes locked onto him, unable to look away.
05:37What are you guys even thinking?
05:40Dustin wants that island.
05:42The only heart-shaped island out there.
05:45He even promised Juliet he'd buy it for her,
05:48but you all just keep him betting on it instead of actually selling!
05:53So if he pulls off a hundred pranks, Greky Island becomes his, right?
05:57You're not planning to go back on your word, are you?
06:00Dustin didn't deny it.
06:01Emily tugged Dustin's arm and said,
06:03If you snag that island, maybe Juliet will come back to you.
06:06I shut off the live stream and logged out of the site.
06:09Three years of loving him, and in just minutes, it all felt like some twisted joke.
06:14I curled up in the tunnel, my mind completely blank, even forgetting the biting cold.
06:19As dawn crept in, Dustin finally stumbled back, reeking of alcohol.
06:23He pulled me close, nuzzling my neck, slurring out words in a drunken haze.
06:28Caroline, will you marry me?
06:30Once we get through all this, let's get married, okay?
06:34I looked at the face I'd once been crazy about, but my heart was completely calm.
06:39Okay.
06:40Dustin, content, fell asleep instantly, while I lay wide awake for the rest of the night.
06:45He didn't wake up until the afternoon.
06:46When the instant noodles were done, I placed a fried egg on his plate, just like always.
06:52Dustin saw the fried egg and paused for a beat, his eyes flickering with emotion.
06:56Casually, he picked up the fried egg and dropped it onto my plate, then gently brushed my cheek.
07:01You need to eat more. You're getting too skinny.
07:04His concern for me seemed so sincere.
07:06Instead, I pulled out the gift I'd prepared the day before.
07:10His phone rang just then.
07:12I'll open it in the car.
07:13He kissed my forehead and rushed out.
07:15I watched Dustin's back as he walked away.
07:17Dustin, if you don't love me, just say it.
07:20I'll walk out of your life for good.
07:22Dustin froze mid-step, then, after a couple of seconds, turned around with that same gentle smile he'd always worn.
07:28You silly thing. What crazy ideas are you getting?
07:32Like I said, once we get through this, we'll get married.
07:34And when that day comes, I'll give you a gift you couldn't find anywhere else in the world.
07:38Trust me.
07:39You'll love it.
07:40Three years of loving him, and he still couldn't be straight with me, not even once.
07:45I refused to eat the noodles he'd touched, so I tossed them, along with the fried egg, and all into
07:50the dog's dish.
07:51The stray dog, Timmy, wagged his tail and rubbed up against me, hoping to please.
07:55Only after he'd shown his gratitude did he dig in.
07:58Most of the time, humans weren't even a match for a dog.
08:01I pulled out my phone and dialed that long, unspoken number, my fingers trembling ever so slightly.
08:06Years ago, believing in true love, I refused a family-arranged marriage.
08:11Josh, I want to come home.
08:12I braced myself for sarcasm or a lecture.
08:15Good. Come home. I'll take care of everything for you.
08:18At that moment, I couldn't hold back my tears, which spilled over before I even realized.
08:22Josh, do me a favor.
08:24Help me pull off something he'll never see coming.
08:27A memory he won't ever shake.
08:30My voice steady with resolve.
08:32Dustin walked half a mile before finally finding his hidden Maybach.
08:36The instant he settled into the plush heated seat, he finally let his anxiety show.
08:40His hands were already drenched in cold sweat.
08:43He slipped the birthday present into the drawer with barely a glance.
08:46He knew exactly what was inside.
08:48A Patek Philippe watch.
08:49It'd just been a joke.
08:50But I had taken it serious.
08:51I was a complete fool.
08:53Annoyed, Dustin yanked out his phone and shouted in the live stream group chat,
08:56If anybody dares to spill the truth to Caroline, I'll hunt them down.
08:59Emily, in the middle of having coffee,
09:01and his bathroom drink all over the place.
09:04After letting out his frustration, Dustin collapsed back into the sofa.
09:07Three more pranks.
09:08Just a little longer, and he decided he would make it up to me, but would never tell me the
09:12truth.
09:13Dustin glanced at the sky.
09:14The forecast called for snow in a couple of days, and he knew that the tunnel was too cold to
09:18stay.
09:19Get a cocktail party ready.
09:20I'm making my comeback.
09:21Emily considered replying, fingers poised over the keys, but in the end, she just erased everything she'd typed.
09:29That day, the Glenn family officially announced that Drake, Glenn, and Emily were getting engaged.
09:33Dustin told me that Emily, wanting to smooth things over for old time's sake,
09:37went out of her way to put together a cocktail party to patch things up.
09:41Do you want to go?
09:42Right on cue, Emily shot me a text.
09:4498 pranks down.
09:46So have you got any wild ideas for what we should pull on you next?
09:49Can't wait to see.
09:50Do you actually want me there?
09:52I hope you'll come.
09:54After all, we'll be running into them a lot in the future, so it's important to get along with them.
10:00Okay, I'll go.
10:01I showed up dressed to the nines.
10:04Dustin had handpicked the perfect outfit for me.
10:06He personally directed the makeup artist, treating me like his own delicate doll.
10:10Pleased with the result, he took my hand and confidently led me into the banquet hall.
10:14He said softly,
10:16Caroline, don't be afraid.
10:18I'm here.
10:19His eyes were full of tender affection, and his broad shoulders looked so strong that I felt like nothing in
10:23the world could ever hurt me as long as he was by my side.
10:25I trust you.
10:27And he squeezed my hand a little tighter.
10:30Caroline, I won't ever let you get hurt again.
10:32In that instant, it was like he'd made up his mind about something.
10:36His voice filled with determination.
10:38I'd been to plenty of these parties with Dustin before, and every single time, it was just them trying to
10:43embarrass me, openly putting me down, and making fun of me.
10:47For Dustin's sake, I always swallowed my pride and endured it.
10:51I thought he'd only gotten on their bad side because of me, so I figured whatever I had to go
10:56through was worth it for him.
10:57But now...
10:59Before Dustin could finish his words, out of nowhere, a bucket of ice water came crashing down over me.
11:04I was drenched from head to toe while he stood there, completely dry and untouched.
11:08As water dripped down my face, I managed a smile toward him.
11:12Something in that smile hit Dustin hard, and all at once, a hot surge of anger flared up inside him.
11:18Who the hell did this?!
11:20He demanded, his voice low and dangerous.
11:23A wave of menacing energy surged out of him, making the whole room feel tense and suffocating.
11:29For the first time, he actually lost his temper over one of their pranks.
11:32The rich kids who had been laughing at me all froze, their faces draining of color.
11:37Some of them even instinctively took a step back.
11:40Dustin wanted to keep up the act, but I'd had enough.
11:43I didn't want to watch anymore.
11:44I fussed with my drenched clothes.
11:47If this is what it'll take for you all to leave Dustin alone, I'll accept it.
11:51It was just like every other time they'd pulled one of their cruel pranks.
11:54In my eyes, there was no anger or resentment, just a tenderness that hadn't burned out yet.
11:59Some of the others almost burst out laughing, struggling to hold back.
12:02But I just looked at Dustin, the only person I cared about.
12:06His face turned dark as he quickly took off his jacket and wrapped it tightly around me.
12:10I could feel his hand trembling softly as he held mine.
12:13Noticing it himself, he balled his hand into a fist and stuffed it in his pocket.
12:18Was he feeling even a little regret?
12:20I couldn't- I didn't care.
12:21Don't be mad, Dustin!
12:23It's just water under the bridge now!
12:26Emily piped up, trying to smooth things over while motioning for someone to help me get changed.
12:35Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to dump ice water on her with this weather?
12:39Blech.
12:40We were just trying to make it look real.
12:41It's the last three times, and everybody's watching.
12:44Dustin's face was stormy, and he didn't say a word.
12:48After I changed, I followed the person Emily had sent to another room.
12:54He said Dustin was waiting for me there.
12:56Dustin is expecting you.
12:58I should have figured Dustin wouldn't be around, just a bunch of other people waiting for me.
13:02Honestly, for this prank number 98, I couldn't help but wonder what they'd got up their sleeve this time.
13:07And as for Dustin, just how much would he let them push it this time?
13:10I glanced around the room and noticed a tiny red indicator light blinking in the shadows.
13:15So was that what today's prank stream was really about?
13:18I recognized all three of them.
13:19They were Emily's usual fanboys.
13:21Want us to leave Dustin alone?
13:23Fine.
13:23But you've got to join our little game first.
13:26One of them smirked.
13:27I only had one question.
13:29Does Dustin know about this?
13:30I asked, the three of them exchanged glances, and all of them started chatting.
13:36What difference does it make if he knows or not?
13:38One of them sneered.
13:39So that's how it is.
13:41I murmured.
13:42I knew exactly what this was.
13:44They just wanted to see me break down, to humiliate me all over again.
13:47But before any of them got the chance, I calmly began slipping off my dress myself.
13:52The room went dead silent, and nobody dared to move an inch.
13:56The guys exchanged uneasy glances, utterly thrown off by my reaction.
14:01Shouldn't I be sobbing and begging them to let me go?
14:04That was what they'd expected.
14:06Certainly not this.
14:07Pulling pranks was one thing, but actually going through with it?
14:11None of them had the balls to mess with Dustin's girl for real.
14:14I just stripped myself down, leaving them completely blindsided, not knowing what to do.
14:19What do you want?
14:19Right as the three of them froze in confusion, the door burst open with a heavy kick.
14:24Dustin stormed in.
14:27You bastard!
14:31Dustin roared, his voice raw with rage.
14:34His eyes flashed red as he barreled forward, fist-tied.
14:41Lying in a wild fury.
14:44Wait, Dustin.
14:46It wasn't us.
14:47She did it herself.
14:49I swear.
14:51Just imagine.
14:55One of them stammered, desperate to explain.
15:02First punch, second, third.
15:04Each punch landed with a heavy thud, raw and real.
15:08Dustin's fist shut down every attempt at an excuse.
15:11I could hear bone snapping, and that was vicious.
15:14I just stood there in silence, watching him fight.
15:20You did this on purpose, didn't you?
15:22Emily snapped, shooting me a deadly glare.
15:25The whole group just wanted to watch me crash and burn, but until Dustin really gave up on
15:29me, nobody had the guts to touch me.
15:31All they dared to do was throw out insulting comments and continue the humiliation.
15:36Emily was so mad that she could barely breathe.
15:38She scrambled to break things up before Dustin completely lost control, and things went totally
15:42off the rails.
15:44Dustin, still fuming, grabbed my hand and pulled me out of all that drama.
15:47I stared at the back of his head, letting him pull me along without resisting.
15:52I just went wherever he wanted to take me.
15:54His fingers trembled slightly in mine, and I could feel every little quiver.
15:58Could you stop being so stupid?
16:00This time, he wasn't just annoyed, but he was actually furious.
16:04I gazed at him quietly, as if his anger could carve straight through my soul.
16:09Did I do something wrong today?
16:11Dustin suddenly felt a sharp pain shoot through his chest like someone had jabbed a needle
16:15straight into his heart.
16:20He slowly pulled me into his arms, holding me tighter and tighter as if he never wanted
16:24to let go.
16:25It was like I really meant something to him.
16:27But when I turned my head and saw that little red light blinking, I realized even this was
16:32all for show.
16:33I couldn't help but laugh.
16:35Dustin, don't lie to me.
16:39I love you so much that I can't bear to lie to you.
16:42I smiled, turned around, and walked into the freezing winter night all by myself.
16:47It felt like the snow was really about to fall.
16:49He stood there, stiff as a statue, unable to take a single step, and could only helplessly
16:54watch as I walked away.
16:55That ice bath ended up giving me a cold.
16:58I went to the hospital, and the gynecologists and obstetricians kept reminding me which meds
17:03I could take and which ones were totally off limits.
17:06Honestly, I still hadn't decided whether I wanted to keep the baby or not.
17:10Sure, my head told me that no matter how awfully Dustin treated me, the baby was innocent.
17:15But could I really bring up this baby and never look back with regrets?
17:18When I walked out of the clinic, my head was in a daze.
17:21I didn't even notice Emily waiting right outside.
17:24That evening, Emily sent me another invite link, but I didn't bother to join, and honestly,
17:29I wasn't interested at all.
17:30She kept pestering me and sent me another video.
17:33In the video, Dustin was still in that VIP suite at the club, drinking with a bunch of
17:37rich kids.
17:38He looked pretty down, knocking back shots like they were water.
17:41Dustin, I saw Caroline going to the hospital.
17:45OB-GFG department today.
17:47Is she pregnant?
17:48No way!
17:49Dustin got snipped as soon as he started moving in with Caroline.
17:52Only Juliet's ever going to have a foster urn.
17:54None of those other women even qualify.
17:56I thought my heart couldn't be any more broken, but clearly, I was wrong.
18:01All of a sudden, he jumped to his feet and hurried straight for the door.
18:06I closed the video, and not long after, Dustin came back.
18:10He looked like he'd just walked through a storm, and the moment he saw me, he pulled
18:13me into his arms.
18:16Dustin, I need to go to the hospital tomorrow.
18:18My heart felt like it had been eaten away from the inside, but I figured he had a right
18:22to know about the baby.
18:24I couldn't help but wonder, he'd want to keep the baby.
18:27Alright, I actually need to go to the hospital myself.
18:31Dustin said, his tone firm.
18:34Okay.
18:34But the next day, he still couldn't make it.
18:37Just as we were about to head out, Dustin's phone lit up.
18:40Emily was calling.
18:43Dustin, Juliet's back.
18:45Emily said, her voice barely above a whisper.
18:47She kept her voice low, but I still caught every word.
18:51Dustin was completely stunned for a few seconds, his mind blank, before he finally snapped back
18:55to reality.
18:56I-I-I'll come over right away.
19:02Sorry, I have to meet with a client.
19:08Your doctor's appointment is at 10, right?
19:09I swear.
19:10I'll be there by 10.
19:13I said softly.
19:15I went to the hospital alone.
19:17The patient before me finished her surgery, and it wasn't even 10 yet when the nurse came
19:21over and told me it was my turn.
19:23Carolyn, can I wait a little longer?
19:26Sure.
19:26Call me when you're ready.
19:28I stayed in the hospital until 10, watching the clock, but Dustin never showed up.
19:33Are you ready to go in yet?
19:34I checked my phone, only to find Emily had helpfully just updated her Twitter.
19:39Dustin was waiting outside the airport, restlessly glancing around, looking like he couldn't sit
19:43still.
19:44Then Juliet appeared, stunning, sophisticated, and graceful, like she'd just walked out of
19:49a fashion magazine.
19:50They wrapped their arms around each other, and it was as if the entire world faded into
19:54a hazy backdrop.
19:55I turned off my phone and replied to the nurse.
19:58Yes, I've made up my mind.
20:00This child was never wanted.
20:01Maybe it was better to get rid of him.
20:03The procedure was simple, but the pain was almost unbearable.
20:06I couldn't do anything but watch, powerless, as a tiny life was cut away and snuffed out
20:10for good right there in front of me.
20:13Caroline, how are you?
20:15I've taken care of the things you asked me to handle before.
20:17All the immigrationments are ready, so you can leave anytime.
20:20Thanks, Josh.
20:21I picked up my package from the delivery spot near the tunnel.
20:24I was finally free to go.
20:26Dustin hadn't shown up for three days.
20:28He said he was away on a business trip and promised that he'd give me a surprise when
20:31he came home.
20:32Emily's Twitter had already put me in the loop about everything.
20:35The day after Juliet got back, Dustin went straight to the hospital for a vasectomy reversal.
20:40Dustin retreated to Foster Manor to recover, and Juliet was there with him.
20:44Emily even posted photos online showing off the healthy meals Juliet was whipping up for
20:48Dustin.
20:49On the fourth day, Dustin finally came back.
20:51He swept me up in a warm hug, grinning with excitement.
20:54Caroline, let me show you something.
20:57He urged me into the Maybach and took me straight to a swanky villa community.
21:01It was the place where we'd first shared a home.
21:04Caroline, I got it back for us.
21:06From now on, this is our home.
21:08Dustin said, his face lighting up with pure excitement.
21:11He looked so happy.
21:12But as I stared at the villa, all the old memories rushed in.
21:16This place was my home once.
21:18Every couch, every lamp, I picked them all.
21:20Every flower outside, I planted by hand.
21:23When I left, I'd always sneak off somewhere to cry, too scared that he might see me break
21:28down.
21:28And even though it was ours again, every piece of jewelry Dustin once bought for me, including
21:33those I'd reluctantly pawned to bail him out of trouble, all of them had found their
21:37way back to me.
21:38As I sifted through it all, my eyes landed on my mom's keepsake, the one I'd parted with
21:43just weeks ago.
21:44Everything I thought I'd lost had somehow come back.
21:46For a moment, it almost felt like the past was within reach, as if we could rewind and
21:50start over.
21:52Dustin frowned, clearly puzzled.
21:54Why put all of this away, Caroline?
21:58I promise you'll never have to go through hard times again.
22:00You can count on me now.
22:04It's good to make some space.
22:05Anyway, I want to fill this place with even better memories and give you even more.
22:10Dustin added, trying to sound reassuring.
22:12Once he was out the door, I wouldn't hesitate to ask someone to pack up all the jewelry and
22:17have it delivered to Juliet.
22:18Caroline, three days from now, it's our anniversary.
22:21Three years together.
22:22You haven't forgotten, have you?
22:23Yeah, I remember.
22:24I've got a surprise for you.
22:26I looked at him.
22:27I've got a surprise for you, too.
22:30For our third anniversary, Dustin whisked me away to Greek Island.
22:33Every inch of the chapel was overflowing with fresh flowers.
22:38Do you like it, Caroline?
22:40Gaze soft and shining with affection.
22:42Was this even real?
22:43This was exactly how I'd designed it for our wedding and somehow, he'd brought my vision
22:48to life, down to the tiniest detail.
22:50It was exactly like the scene I'd always dreamed of.
22:53The chapel was filled with people and everyone cheered for me, showering me with applause and
22:57heartfelt blessings.
22:59Right then, I felt my head spinning.
23:01I couldn't tell if I was dreaming or if it was real.
23:05Emily, dressed in a flawless white gown, walked up to me with a bouquet in her hands.
23:09Caroline, are you ready?
23:14Ready?
23:15She flashed me a radiant smile and as the spotlight shifted, the main stage curtain parted.
23:20A giant screen flickered to life, playing a scene so familiar that it tugged at my heart.
23:26She's nothing but a gold digger.
23:28Just let me handle her.
23:29I guarantee she won't be chasing after Drake anymore.
23:32I remembered it so clearly.
23:34He broke ties with the Blake family and everyone else.
23:37They dragged me off to a snowy mountain, tore away my clothes in the dead of winter,
23:41and Dustin charged in, risking everything to rescue me.
23:45He took a vicious beating, ended up bleeding from his head, but none of it mattered to him.
23:50For me, he was willing to go up against the whole world.
23:53God, how could anyone not be moved by that?
23:56And just like that, I finally let myself fall for him.
24:00Then there was the 20th prank he pulled on me.
24:02Me? Are you serious?
24:03If I'm gonna play, I'm gonna play all the way.
24:06That day, they dumped me way out in the middle of the woods
24:08and live-streamed every humiliating moment for three days straight.
24:15And on the third day, Dustin came bursting onto the scene,
24:18playing the hero like he always did.
24:20From that moment on, I had completely fallen for him.
24:23I remembered how desperately he hugged me, like he was scared I'd disappear if he ever let go.
24:28The 30th prank was another one.
24:30She means nothing to me.
24:32As the rightful heir-heir of the Foster family,
24:34how could I ever fall for someone so significant?
24:37The video cut off abruptly, plunging the room into absolute silence.
24:42Dustin gazed at me from a distance.
24:44His eyes were filled with tension and fear.
24:47I watched him quietly, calm and still, determined strides only to be suddenly intercepted by someone.
24:53The opening performance is over.
24:55Now it's time for our proposal ceremony.
24:58She then led Juliet out from behind the curtain.
25:01Dustin, I brought tonight's main star for you.
25:05Dustin stood frozen every muscle tense.
25:07Dustin, you once swore you would buy this island to propose to me.
25:12Juliet stepped up and gently brushed a kiss against Dustin's cheek.
25:15Dustin seemed to come back to his senses,
25:17and for a split second, a hint of panic flashed across his gaze when he looked at me.
25:23Dustin, everyone's watching.
25:24Don't embarrass Juliet in front of all these people.
25:27Dustin, if you leave now, Juliet will be completely humiliated.
25:30How will she ever hold her head up in this circle again?
25:33Do you really want her to become the subject of everyone's coss-up and ruin her reputation?
25:37Dustin turned back and met Juliet's pleading, desperate gaze.
25:41Her face was full of fear.
25:42It was just like the very first time they met.
25:45You wouldn't leave me like they did, would you?
25:47No.
25:48He gave me one last look.
25:50I just watched quietly, saying nothing.
25:52All my trust was just misplaced.
25:54Dustin took the ring, his voice flat and lifeless as he went through the motions of the proposal.
25:59A bitter smile tugged at my lips as I watched the show's last scene,
26:03then I turned and walked away.
26:11Is it enough?
26:13Dustin's voice was cold and sharp as he turned to Emily.
26:16For the first time, Emily felt genuine danger coming from his eyes.
26:20A chilling someone beside her quickly stepped in to shield her, forcing a nervous smile.
26:25Yeah, that's enough.
26:26Dustin turned and walked away, not bothering to give Juliet even a second look.
26:30Dustin practically tore the whole island apart, but the person he was desperate to find was nowhere in sight.
26:35Fuming, he spun around and shouted at the crowd trailing after him.
26:39So who's the one that uploaded those videos?
26:42Videos!
26:44Nobody dared to look him in the eye.
26:46In the end, one of Emily's bootlickers stepped up and took the fall.
26:50Without a second thought, Dustin threw a punch.
26:52He busted the guy's head open, blood gushing down his face.
26:55The bootlicker finally cracked.
26:57It was Emily.
26:59She forced me to do it!
27:01Emily jerked her head back in fright and instinctively stepped away,
27:04as if wishing she could disappear on the spot.
27:08Thunderous explosion tore through the night, lighting up the sky.
27:12Everyone dashed to the beach in a panic.
27:14Dustin, that's Caroline's yacht!
27:16Someone shouted, their voice trembling with shock.
27:19Dustin stood frozen, staring at the eruption of fire in the sky.
27:22Suddenly, he felt utterly powerless.
27:25Every ounce of strength leaving his body.
27:28For a whole seven days, Dustin searched the waters, desperate to find any sign of me.
27:33But I was gone.
27:35The salvage team reported that a swarm of sharks had been nearby when the accident happened.
27:39After searching so hard, all they found was a torn scrap of cloth.
27:43It was from the clothes I had worn that day.
27:45Experts had checked every piece of the wrecked yacht, and in the end, only one conclusion made sense.
27:50This wasn't an accident, but I had meant to end my life.
27:55Mr. Foster, according to the bet, you've completed a hundred pranks.
27:59This island is yours now.
28:00The manager announced.
28:02A hundred pranks?
28:03How did that even happen?
28:05He'd made a big deal out of vowing to pull a hundred pranks, but somewhere along the line, he just
28:09wanted out.
28:09He never came clean.
28:11Mostly because he couldn't bear being the butt of the joke in his own crowd.
28:14So he acted like he'd gone totally bankrupt, couch surfed in a tunnel, hoping I would walk away on my
28:20own, just like Juliet did when life got tough.
28:22He was helplessly drawn to me.
28:24There was just no way he could keep his heart from falling.
28:27After that, he kept convincing himself that if he managed to pull off a hundred pranks, he could finally marry
28:33me with pride, get everything he wanted, and no one would ever look down on him.
28:38Maybe that was not such a bad deal after all.
28:40He was all fired up about the plan, but every single time he saw me looking so devastated, he just
28:46couldn't go through with it.
28:47By prank 98, he was done.
28:49He couldn't keep lying to me anymore.
28:50So he started planning a proposal.
28:52He rented out the whole island and invited everyone he knew.
28:55He wanted to propose to me right there in front of everyone.
28:59He wanted everyone to see that he was willing to do it, that he was absolutely committed to making me
29:03his, and he was laying his heart bare for everyone to see.
29:06But when it all came down to it, nothing turned out the way he'd hoped.
29:11None of it matters anymore.
29:13He didn't sign the papers.
29:14Just go.
29:15He just waved the legal team away and ushered them out the door.
29:18As soon as the manager and the legal team left, Emily showed up.
29:21So Dustin, did you finally get Grease Island?
29:25As soon as Emily spotted the papers lying there, she just reached for them without hesitation, like they were hers
29:31by default.
29:31In her heart, anything Dustin owned belonged to her.
29:35And Juliet swore she'd never compete with her for it anyway.
29:39Emily's mind was already spinning with plans to turn Greek Island into her own paradise.
29:43The greed and joy blazing in her eyes were written all over her face.
29:47Why?
29:48Uh, what?
29:50Emily stammered, her face suddenly clouded with confusion.
29:53Dustin's gaze was downright chilling.
29:55It was only then that Emily felt a shiver of dread.
29:58She'd finally realized something was off.
30:00Why did you do it on the day of the proposal?
30:03We were just trying to help you reach your goal, Dustin.
30:05Didn't you swear in front of everyone that you'd prank her a hundred times?
30:08Why did you spill the truth?
30:10Why?
30:11Why'd you have to do this?
30:13If it weren't for you, she'd never even think about throwing her life away!
30:17Dustin's fingers felt like Talon's threatening to snap her bone.
30:20It was your idea!
30:22You said you'd drop the truth bomb on her during the proposal at her happiest and send her straight to
30:27hell!
30:28Me?
30:29When did I ever say that?
30:31Dustin stammered, his lips trembling, unable to believe what he was hearing.
30:35He couldn't deny it.
30:36Deep down, he knew he might have really said something like that,
30:39back when he hated those women after his money, like Juliet.
30:43Two years ago, you said you'd shock her on the day she agreed to your propose, and you made that
30:49video yourself!
30:51Dustin's face turned as white as a sheet.
30:53Yeah, he did say it, and he really did it.
30:56Emily had her excuses lined up ages ago.
30:59Just as she expected, Dustin got totally lost in his own guilt.
31:03Emily glanced at the Greek island transfer agreement.
31:05No rush, it wasn't the time yet, but she believed that one day, that island would be hers.
31:10I was gone.
31:11Just like that.
31:12No one seemed to really care.
31:14At most, there were some snide remarks, or a few sighs.
31:16They honestly didn't think anyone would pay the price for it, not even when Dustin looked absolutely devastated.
31:22No one knew that a package was already on its way to Greek island.
31:25Emily couldn't have imagined, not even in her wildest dreams, that this package would destroy her life and leave many
31:31others shattered in its wake.
31:33By the time Dustin got the package, he'd been living like a ghost for 10 days, barely human, just existing
31:38in a haze of pain and regret.
31:40Every day, he drowned himself in booze, just trying to numb the pain.
31:44Then one day, a delivery guy showed up.
31:47Mr. Foster, Ms. Everett asked us to deliver this to you half a wonks ago.
31:51She said it had to get to you, no matter what.
31:53When Dustin heard Caroline's name, his mind snapped back to reality in an instant.
31:57He tore open the box only to freeze in shock, a glass jar filled with mysterious chunks of flesh and,
32:03right next to it, a paternity test.
32:05It was his DNA and the baby's.
32:08Beside them was a phone.
32:10It was once mine, the one he'd bought for me with his own money, and his fingerprint was still saved
32:15on it.
32:16His fingers shook as he unlocked the phone.
32:18Every message, read or unread, was from Emily.
32:22There were even Twitter updates Emily had set to be visible only to me.
32:26He scrolled through them one by one, seeing everything unravel before his eyes.
32:29There was the live stream website, the videos Emily had deliberately edited just for effect, and he even overheard that
32:35conversation about his vasectomy.
32:37How did Dustin ever let anyone but Juliet give birth to the Foster family's heir?
32:42Those grating words hit every nerve in his body like a hammer.
32:45Who tipped her off?
32:46Who let her mouth off like that?
32:49Dustin was boiling with rage.
32:50He was overwhelmed with fury.
32:52But just as fast, it all twisted into grief because he'd been right there the entire time.
32:57He'd been sitting right there, but he hadn't stopped her.
33:00Hadn't explained, hadn't cleared anything up.
33:02He always thought it wasn't too late.
33:04Dustin collapsed onto the floor as if his spirit had been ripped away.
33:07So she'd known everything from the very beginning.
33:10A chill running through him.
33:12He couldn't help but wonder how I had survived all those days facing him, carrying that secret.
33:17He remembered my smile, which was empty, drained of all hope, like I'd already given up on everything.
33:23The expert said I'd already decided to end my life.
33:26I'd decide to die just like that!
33:30Sounding half crazy, half broken, rage, agony, and a kind of madness choked him,
33:35until all he could do was laugh like a man who'd completely lost it.
33:40The delivery guy got so freaked out that he ran for his life.
33:43After the manic laughter died down, Dustin suddenly thought of the old prank streaming channel he'd abandoned ages ago,
33:49and that one broadcast he'd blanked from his memory.
33:52He logged in and saw the homepage banner still bragging about his epic streak of a hundred pranks.
33:57He wasted no time, jumping right to number 99.
34:01There he was on stream talking about getting a vasectomy.
34:04Then, at another camera angle, I was clutching my stomach, my smile bleak and hopeless.
34:08He saw me calling to schedule an abortion.
34:11That same day, he'd been planning to get his vasectomy reversed, thinking if we had a baby, he'd finally have
34:17an excuse to keep me with him for good.
34:18We had even agreed to go to the hospital together the next day, and Dustin planned to tell me everything
34:23then.
34:23But Juliet came back at just the right moment, almost as if she'd timed it perfectly.
34:27I waited alone at the hospital until 10 o'clock, then finally stepped into the operating room by myself.
34:32Someone captured every moment on camera.
34:34That was all part of a scheme they had set up from the very beginning.
34:37Some people were even placing bets on whether it would be a boy or girl.
34:41Dustin's gaze landed again on that glass jar, his eyes burning red with fury.
34:45Just then, Juliet walked in.
34:46She carried a bowl of chicken soup she'd made herself.
34:49Look, Dustin, I made you some chicken soup.
34:51Why don't you try some?
34:52She moved with a seductive grace, her neck and ears adorned with eye-catching jewelry.
34:58The moment she walked in, Dustin locked onto her like a predator stalking its prey.
35:02Juliet's cheeks flushed.
35:03She knew she looked stunning tonight, especially after dressing up just for him.
35:06Her heart pounded in her chest.
35:08She was already imagining the extravagant lifestyle waiting for her once she married into the foster family.
35:13Why did you come back?
35:15What?
35:16Juliet blinked in confusion.
35:17She genuinely hadn't caught what he said.
35:20Why did you pick this moment to come back?
35:21You left.
35:22You could have just stayed gone and died out there.
35:24Why are you back now?
35:26Because I realized I still love you.
35:28Emily warned me that if I didn't come back, you'd really marry someone else.
35:32I...
35:32Emily!
35:33It was Emily again.
35:35Dustin savored her name with a sinister smirk twisting his lips.
35:39Juliet was truly terrified this time.
35:41Her knees buckled and she crumpled to the floor.
35:44Dustin's gaze fixed on her neck.
35:46He sprang up.
35:47Wide-eyed and frozen as she watched his big hand reach for her throat.
35:50Suddenly, pain shot through her neck.
35:53The necklace was ripped away, leaving nothing but a thin, bloody line behind.
35:57Dustin held the necklace up, inspecting it closely.
35:59On the back, he saw the letters he'd carved himself.
36:02C.E.
36:03This belongs to Caroline.
36:05You don't deserve it.
36:06Dustin spat, his voice dripping with contempt.
36:08His gaze shifted back to Juliet's ears.
36:11She hurriedly pulled off the earrings.
36:13I didn't ask for these.
36:14She mailed them to me.
36:15Dustin's movements stilled.
36:17Juliet took her chance and dashed out.
36:19Just outside, a bunch of people were waiting for her.
36:22Since you're already here, don't even think about getting away.
36:25You know exactly what you did behind my back.
36:27I'm not asking for much.
36:29Just that every bit of pain she went through, you'll feel it for yourselves.
36:32One after another.
36:33The next day, Dustin hauled the whole crowd down to the tunnel.
36:36Their families tried to interfere, but Dustin's iron-fisted fury shut them down instantly.
36:41In the end, the parents of those pampered, rich brats just told them to go atone for their sins.
36:47Greg Island might have been all sunshine and nice weather, but over here, snow was coming down like crazy.
36:52They were all still wearing those skimpy clothes from Greg Island, looking absolutely pathetic as they shook and shivered in
36:59the freezing wind.
37:00Out of nowhere, someone dumped a whole bucket of icy water over their heads.
37:04Cold shot through them like a jolt, and with the wind howling, it felt like they were about to freeze
37:08solid right there.
37:10Dustin, have you completely lost it?
37:13His voice cracking with outrage and panic.
37:15The shouts and curses didn't spare Dustin.
37:18He got drenched in freezing water, too.
37:20No mercy shown.
37:21His bucket was the biggest by far, packed with chunks of ice so cold that it could make his bones
37:26ache.
37:27Everyone just froze, mouth shut, too stunned to say a single word.
37:31They all believed Dustin had lost his mind, and their hearts were jackhammering with fear.
37:35Nobody dared to cross him, terrified he'd suddenly lose it and take them out, all as some twisted tribute to
37:42me.
37:42For their first taste of payback, Dustin tossed them all out into the wilderness, leaving everyone, including himself, stranded in
37:49the mountains to survive on their own.
37:52Three days in, they couldn't hold out any longer.
37:56Everyone was at their breaking point.
37:58Dustin, how can you blame us?
38:00You were the one who wanted to set her up in the first place.
38:03Dustin whipped out a knife, and to everyone's shock, sliced his own arm.
38:09Wait, wasn't it you who cut her that time?
38:11She got hurt because of you, right?
38:13It wasn't me!
38:15She made me do it!
38:17She always hated Caroline, and she couldn't stand Drake picking Caroline over her from the beginning!
38:21She wanted Carol out of the picture for good!
38:24Then, when she saw you really falling for Caroline, she totally lost it!
38:30And pushed us into doing those last three prank livestreams!
38:34Caroline's death?
38:35Seriously, that's not on us!
38:37Emily's the real reason it happened!
38:39Emily was already white as a ghost, blood dripping from Dustin's knife.
38:42Emily reeled backward, desperate and disheveled.
38:46If you hadn't turned a blind eye, do you think I'd have had the guts?
38:50Dustin, this is all your own fault!
38:52She threw her head back and laughed crazily, as if she'd just found the ultimate justification.
38:57Yeah, it's all on you!
38:59All your fault!
39:00If you hadn't fooled Caroline into loving you, she never would have to suffer like this!
39:04It's you!
39:05It's always you!
39:06Dustin raised his hand and brought the blade down hard on Emily's arm.
39:09The strike was so vicious that the wound split open.
39:12All of this was being streamed live on that notorious prank website.
39:16That day, the site was abruptly taken offline.
39:19Everyone was afraid things would turn deadly.
39:21No one wanted blood on their hands or to take the fall for what happened.
39:24After that, only Emily and Juliet ended up living in the tunnel.
39:28They survived on instant noodles day after day,
39:31and the freezing winter turned the two young women into haggard, yellow-faced wrecks.
39:36No one dared to step in or plead for them.
39:38Nobody wanted to mess with a psycho like Dustin.
39:41The Blake family was furious at first, but Dustin's payback nearly brought them to bankruptcy.
39:46Dustin, Caroline's not dead!
39:48Dustin froze, instant noodles halfway open in his hand.
39:52She's in Zaborina!
39:53I've got proof!
39:54It was a grand reception, thrown in honor of my return.
39:58The Everett Group hosted an opulent banquet to welcome me, their heiress, back.
40:02I wore an elegant evening gown, the bell of the ball surrounded by admiring guests like a true princess.
40:09Dustin lunged for the phone like a starving wolf, pressing his face up to the screen.
40:13Closer, closer, desperate to break through and catch my scent as if he could step right into the moment and
40:20be with me again.
40:21Yes, it was me.
40:23After more than half a year of madness, Dustin finally saw me again.
40:27I was sitting in the garden, pruning the flowers.
40:30In the sunlight, I smiled like a fairy.
40:32I was more beautiful than ever, radiant and full of life.
40:36Nothing like the haggard, desolate woman who used to be by his side.
40:40A tidal wave of heartache crashed over Dustin and his eyes instantly turned red.
40:44He wanted to confront me, to shout and demand why I hadn't come back, why I'd pretended to die and
40:49left him drowning in despair.
40:51But when Dustin saw me sitting peacefully in the garden, trimming the flowers as if nothing had happened, all the
40:56anger melted away.
40:57At that moment, nothing else mattered except that I was alive.
41:02But right at that moment, I turned around.
41:04I came toward him, my smile so dazzling that it could light up the whole room.
41:08For a second, Dustin went completely stiff, like someone had hit pause on his heart.
41:13Excuse me, who are you looking for?
41:16Dustin was at a loss for words.
41:17He instinctively glanced at the glass wall nearby and saw a man with an unkempt beard reflected there.
41:23He looked so haggard and ragged that he could have been mistaken for a drifter.
41:27At that moment, Dustin went silent and quickly turned aside, terrified I'd recognize him.
41:32Right then, he kicked himself for not bothering to fix up his appearance before seeing me.
41:37The last thing he wanted was to leave me with that sloppy impression.
41:40I always said I was into his face.
41:43Carol, what are you doing?
41:45Strolling over with a bunch of fresh flowers in hand, he'd just picked them right out of the garden, still
41:50dewy from the morning.
41:51Dustin instantly recognized him.
41:53A regular on the Forbes list, born into privilege, and the Everett's favorite pick for their little princess's future husband.
41:59For the first time, Dustin felt like he didn't even belong in the same league.
42:03For the first time, he was scared I might start sizing him up against that guy.
42:07For the first time, he was afraid he'd come up short in my eyes.
42:10How could he ever hope to compete?
42:12Dustin was seriously freaking out.
42:13Who is he?
42:17Just someone who doesn't matter.
42:19I knew him instantly.
42:20Even if he'd faded into dust, I would still recognize Dustin in a heartbeat.
42:24But then, he was nothing more than someone I had nothing to do with anymore.
42:28Some memories were far too bitter to revisit, so I left them buried in the past.
42:33Dustin's heart, which just moments ago had been pounding with hope, now sank to the very depths, like it had
42:39been dragged straight into an abyss.
42:41He realized, painfully, that the man he was now didn't deserve me anymore, not even close.
42:47And honestly, he knew I'd never forgive him.
42:50Not in this life.
42:51Not ever.
42:51Just as I'd said, I would vanish from his world forever, like I'd turned and walked away, never to look
42:57back.
42:58After returning home, Dustin went downhill quickly.
43:01But he didn't waste time blaming fate or plotting revenge.
43:03Instead, he acquired the Blake Group and several other companies, turning his own into the one true giant in the
43:10field.
43:10Deep down, he was fueled by a stubborn drive.
43:13He had to climb, to improve, to stand taller than anyone else.
43:16Because sometimes he feared that if he stopped, one day he couldn't even look up at me from afar.
43:22And that was the year I got married.
43:23When Dustin heard the news, it felt like his whole world had shattered.
43:27A thunderbolt straight to the heart.
43:29How could she just marry someone?
43:31Dustin said, disbelief and bitterness swirling in his mind.
43:34How could she possibly end up with someone else?
43:36Dustin raced to the wedding in a wild frenzy, but just as he was about to step inside, he faltered.
43:41His courage collapsing all at once, leaving him paralyzed at the threshold.
43:45That day, I stood center stage in a breathtaking couture gown, graceful, radiant, and impossibly elegant as every eye in
43:53the room turned to me.
43:54The very instant Dustin appeared, I met his gaze, turning to look right at him.
43:59Dustin imagined I'd be heartbroken or maybe burning with anger.
44:03He figured I might look at him with biting sarcasm or shoot him that cold, mocking smile he'd come to
44:09dread.
44:09Dustin waited, hoping for something more.
44:11But I didn't lose it.
44:12Instead, I simply nodded at him, treating him no differently than any other guest at the ceremony.
44:19In that instant, Dustin knew it was all over and that he was already part of my past.
44:24He even blew a fortune on a private investigator to keep tabs on my marriage,
44:27desperate to find any trace of misery, disappointment, or regret in my new life.
44:32However, to his dismay, it turned out I made the right choice.
44:36This time, I was truly happy.
44:38Three years into my marriage, I gave birth to a baby.
44:41Both families celebrated like crazy when the baby was born.
44:45When Dustin saw me cradling the baby, my whole face shining with motherly love,
44:49he felt a sharp sting in his eyes.
44:51And that day, Dustin couldn't stop rummaging through our old memories.
44:55By accident, he stumbled upon a box tucked away in his Maybach.
44:59Inside was a Patek Philippe watch.
45:01The moment Dustin laid eyes on it, he knew exactly what it was.
45:04It was impossible to forget.
45:06Tucked beneath the watch was a pregnancy test report.
45:08He finally realized that I actually tried to give him a chance.
45:12Tears streamed down his face as Dustin clutched that Patek Philippe watch sobbing uncontrollably.
45:17He cried for everything he'd ever lost.
45:20He cried for every regret that could never be undone.
45:23Slowly, he began to come to terms with it, accepting everything that had happened.
45:27I was happy in my new life, and he knew it was time to stop clinging to old dreams or
45:32messing with my world.
45:33Maybe letting go was the last shred of decency he had left.
45:37He'd thought about forgetting me, about trying to move on and live his own life.
45:41But out of all the people in this huge world, there was no one.
45:44Absolutely no one.
45:46Who'd stick with him through thick and thin.
45:48Who'd eat cheap noodles and live in a tunnel with him just to be by his side.
45:52Even when he had casual flings and some woman came knocking, claiming she was pregnant,
45:56he felt absolutely nothing.
45:58Not happiness, not anger.
46:00His mind kept replaying the image of that tiny life, preserved in a cold glass jar.
46:05That child was ours.
46:07His and my own flesh and blood.
46:09That child was supposed to be proof of our love.
46:12The start of the life we'd dreamed of together.
46:14And he was the one who threw it all away.
46:17After that, he stopped fighting it.
46:20He accepted it.
46:21By the time he looked back, his hair had gone gray.
46:24One day, he collapsed right there in his office.
46:27His secretary found him and rushed him to the hospital.
46:30He realized he'd drifted through most of his life.
46:32And it felt like he'd never really lived.
46:34After getting out of the hospital, Dustin let go of all his authority and retreated to
46:38Greg Island to live out the rest of his days.
46:41Greg Island had once been meant as a wedding gift for me.
46:43But after years of neglect, it had become wild and overgrown.
46:46Lonely and forlorn, just like his heart.
46:49He made up his mind to finally transform it, to give it a true purpose.
46:53The first thing he did was change the name.
46:55Greg Island became True Love.
47:00He packed the place with all my favorite flowers and planted nothing but the fruits and veggies
47:05I always loved to eat.
47:07He opened the island to visitors and secretly dreamed that
47:12Many years later, a private jet touched down on the island.
47:16For our 30th anniversary, my husband went all out and reserved the entire heart shape.
47:22I finally come back.
47:27The island had changed so much that I couldn't even recognize it anymore.
47:32They say this whole place was built by an old man with a heart that just wouldn't give up.
47:37He spent his whole life here waiting for the one he loved to come back.
47:41Turns out there really are people in this world who love that deeply.
47:45I said quietly, a hint of wonder in my voice.
47:48I sighed, genuinely moved by the story.
47:51In the middle of the flower beds, the old man straightened up and all of a sudden,
47:55he saw that familiar figure he'd been longing to see for years.
48:02Sir, what kind of flowers are you planting?
48:07She stumbled over on her chubby little legs, probably around three years old,
48:11nothing but innocence and wonder in her eyes.
48:14Actually, this isn't a flower.
48:16It's a blueberry bush.
48:18Blueberries were one of my all-time favorite treats.
48:21I'd always dreamed of growing whole patches of blueberries myself.
48:24And this year, Dustin found a special new variety and cleared out space to plant them.
48:29Everyone said this kind tasted sweeter than ever.
48:32He hoped more than anything that I would love them.
48:35Dustin's gaze softened as he watched me come toward him.
48:38Even well into my 50s, I was still elegant and stunning, not a sign of...
48:43Freya, let's go!
48:44Weren't you just telling me how hungry you were?
48:47I teased my granddaughter, my voice full of affection.
48:50Hearing my call, Freya quickly ran back towards me on her chubby little legs.
48:55I nodded gratefully to the flower-growing old man.
48:57Say goodbye, Freya.
48:59Freya waved her little hand at Dustin.
49:01Goodbye!
49:02The words stumbling out, just like any sweet, shy toddler.
49:06Dustin watched as we disappeared into the distance, and for the first time in years,
49:10something sent gentle ripples through the quiet lake of his heart.
49:14This time, I genuinely didn't recognize him.
49:17Maybe in the end, we were always meant to go our separate ways, just strangers passing each other by.
49:23The words stumbling out, just like any sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet,
49:25sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet,
49:25sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet,
49:25sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet,
49:25sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet,
49:25sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet,
49:26Grazie a tutti.
