00:00That voice? Lucien Baymont?
00:03No wonder Lila's bullies vanished. She's with the Thief Lord.
00:07Like mother, like daughter. The Mistress Kid sure steals men.
00:12Good girl.
00:13Wow, Lila, you sound pretty experienced.
00:16Your first time, really?
00:18Who posted this? Ask who filmed it.
00:21I just wanted to find Lucien and ask him myself.
00:30Lucien, you were brutal this time. They got her face so clear she can't even deny it.
00:36She had it coming for messing with Celeste.
00:39Spread the rumors her mom was a mistress first. Let everyone turn on her.
00:43Then you step in to save her.
00:46Right now she looks at you like you're her only lifeline.
00:49Not a word till Celeste returns. That day is her anniversary.
00:52I'll tell her myself. What she took, she pays back.
00:58Well, if it isn't the star of the video, just aired it to the whole school and now you run
01:02to Lucien?
01:03Hands off. Touch her in front of me and you'll regret it.
01:08What's wrong?
01:09It's nothing.
01:11What did I tell you? If anyone bullies you again, use my name.
01:13After my mother took her own life, I lived alone at Hawthorne Manor.
01:17Barely after the funeral ended, my father rekindled his old flame, leaving me utterly alone, lonelier than any orphan.
01:21Gossip flung to me like a shadow. Branded an illegitimate child by everyone, I became the endless target of their
01:27bullying.
01:28It was Lucien who pulled me out of that endless living hell.
01:31On the night of Lucien's birthday, we drank side by side and spent our first night together.
01:36I'd thought I'd finally found a place to belong, but this gentle haven was nothing but a carefully crafted cage
01:41he'd built for me.
01:42By the time I came to my senses, Lucien had already led me out of the office building.
01:46Staring at the man I'd once trusted completely, I felt as if I'd never known him at all.
01:53A few minutes ago, I heard him admit with my own ears that two years of chasing me and protecting
01:58me was all part of a revenge planned for Celeste.
02:02And now he's acting like nothing happened, being gentle with me in that flawless way of his.
02:08Wait here.
02:14Every night at eight, he told me he was in a board meeting and couldn't be disturbed.
02:18Turns out those two hours were always for Celestia.
02:20He's not cold by nature.
02:22He just saves all his tenderness for another woman.
02:30Last night was too sudden.
02:31I didn't have time to use, Lucien.
02:33Be good and take it, okay?
02:34I don't want your body to get hurt.
02:40So obedient?
02:42If I hadn't seen those messages, I would have taken this pill as thoughtness.
02:45Now I finally get it.
02:47He just won't allow a toy to carry his child.
02:55You've been off all day.
02:56Still mad about the video?
02:58I'm just tired.
02:59I wasn't the one who filmed it.
03:01The hotel manager responsible has already been fired.
03:03Leela, I've never meant to hurt you, and I never will.
03:06Our anniversary's coming up.
03:07When it gets here, I'll make it up to you properly.
03:09He sounded so sincere I almost fell for it again.
03:12But I already know that his so-called making it up is a plan to destroy the last shred of
03:15my dignity on our anniversary.
03:17The man I loved most just shoved me into the abyss.
03:20Leela Hawthorne.
03:22I come home, and what greets me isn't comfort.
03:25It's a slap from my own father.
03:27Seven days.
03:28Get the hell out of New York!
03:29And never come back!
03:36After being betrayed by the one I loved most,
03:39but coming home, my own father used a plane ticket to tell me
03:43there was never a place for me here either.
03:46Leave New York in seven days and never come back!
03:52Fine.
03:53I'll go.
03:54What did you say?
03:56I will leave as you asked, and I will never come back.
03:59Two years ago, when I asked you to go abroad, you would rather die than go.
04:04Why are you agreeing so slightly now?
04:07Soliste returns in three days.
04:09I'm throwing a welcome banquet for her, the video has already spread all over New York.
04:12You must attend, so people don't think the Hamptorns have a guilty conscience.
04:17Once, I refused to leave New York for Lucian.
04:19Now I finally understand that neither love nor family is my home.
04:23In seven days, I will leave them all behind.
04:25Over the next three days, I sold every gift Lucian had given me.
04:29All the things I once treasured as tokens of love.
04:33Turned out they all had a price tag.
04:38You are too kind.
04:40I thought I had prepared myself, but seeing them together with my own eyes, I realized
04:45that the real humiliation intended for me tonight had only just begun.
04:55After disappearing for three days, he finally ran out of patience.
04:59But I could see it.
05:01He wasn't worried about me.
05:02You skipped class for three days, ignored all my texts, and actually stood me up on our
05:05anniversary.
05:06The hell is your problem?
05:06Mr. Lucian, I don't know what you're talking about.
05:09Don't call me Mr. Lucian.
05:11Brother-in-law?
05:12Who told you?
05:13Does it matter?
05:14Of course it matters.
05:16Is it because you're worried I know the truth, or because you're afraid tonight's little
05:19surprise will be spoiled before it even start?
05:22How much did you hear?
05:25Enough to see right through you.
05:26Leila, don't talk to me like that.
05:28Then what do you want to hear?
05:30Do you want me to say I believe you the way I used to?
05:32He probably still thinks that a few more gentle words will make me come crawling back.
05:35But from the moment he called me his toy with his own mouth, this whole act was over.
05:39We can explain.
05:42There you are.
05:42Tonight's a big night for Celeste.
05:44Don't keep her waiting.
05:45Are you close with my sister?
05:47More than close.
05:47You'll see soon enough.
05:58They think I'm still in the dark, so everyone's just waiting to watch me fall apart.
06:01But the Leila who used to cry over Lucian, she died in his car a long time ago.
06:05Thank you all for joining us tonight to celebrate Celeste's return home.
06:09I also have some very exciting news to share with you this evening.
06:12After Hawthorne our kids were in college, we arranged engagement between Celeste and Lucian.
06:16The official engagement dinner will be held at the end of the month.
06:18We hope all of you will be there to share in their joy.
06:22Lucian, what are you looking at?
06:23Nothing.
06:24In his head I'm supposed to run up on that stage screaming, demanding he betrayed me.
06:26But the fact that I'm this calm, it's throwing him off for the first time.
06:32Leila, get over here.
06:34Go on, say hello to your future brother-in-law.
06:37Congratulations, brother-in-law.
06:39If you ever run into trouble at school, just ask your brother-in-law for help.
06:42We're going to be family soon enough.
06:43Don't worry, I won't bother him.
06:45It's been two years since we've seen each other, sis.
06:47I've got so much I want to talk to you about in private.
06:51So I heard you slept with Lucian.
06:56Celeste dropped her mask.
06:58All my joy was her plot.
07:01Lucian has always hated you.
07:02Did you rumor my mom?
07:04I did.
07:05I arranged your bullying and his rescue.
07:08Why?
07:09You two took everything from me.
07:11My mom was innocent.
07:12She knew nothing.
07:12She's dead.
07:13This family is mine.
07:25Why?
07:27You know I'm allergic.
07:30She turned victim in seconds.
07:33Lucian believed Eve'd her blindly.
07:44From my back at table, I heard glass break.
07:48Lucian didn't even look at me.
07:50Celeste, where's it hurt?
07:52I just wanted to catch up.
07:54She forced me to eat nut cake.
07:57The banquet's not over.
07:58I can't be seen like this.
07:59Just cover it with makeup.
08:00Forget the banquet.
08:01I didn't do this.
08:03If Celeste gets hurt, I won't let you off.
08:07One tear from Celeste, and all my defense means nothing.
08:12But this wasn't her real revenge.
08:20You like picking on Celeste?
08:22We're settling this for her.
08:23Don't touch me!
08:24I'm deathly allergic to chili!
08:26And this will be even more fun.
08:30I'm severely allergic to chili.
08:32Even a tiny bit can choke me to death.
08:34Yet they couldn't care less if I survived.
08:40Stop!
08:41Please!
08:42Celeste is Lucian's whole world.
08:45How dare you cross her?
08:47Heard your clips went viral.
08:49Wanna take some new shots?
08:58Lucy!
09:00You really think Lucian will come save you?
09:03He's the one who ordered us to teach you a lesson.
09:07He said as long as Celeste stays happy, your life means nothing to her.
09:11Once, uttering Lucian's name would make every bully back off.
09:14But that night, I learned he was never my protector.
09:16He's the one ruling this hell.
09:29Awake now?
09:33Now you know how it feels to get bullied?
09:43I survived, but Lucian only made me pay for what happened.
09:47Stay away from Celeste.
09:49Next time, I won't help you.
09:55Mr. Lucian, Celeta's room AC is broken.
09:58It's freezing.
09:59Get it fixed.
10:01No repairs for an hour, and no extra rooms.
10:05Switch their rooms.
10:06Let Celeste stay here.
10:08Lila's injured.
10:09The cold will make her worse.
10:10Do it.
10:12I was dying, yet he gave my warm room to her without a second thought.
10:23The AC was fine.
10:25Celeste just wanted me to suffer in the cold.
10:32Are you cold?
10:34I lay freezing in bed, while Celeste stood by, enjoying her victory over me.
10:40Look at you, a worthless stray.
10:44These photos went viral.
10:47Adult sugestudios want you.
10:49Lucian chose me.
10:51Dad's kicking you out.
10:53Finally see the truth?
10:57Admit your mom's a homewrecker, then leave for good.
11:02I'll go.
11:03But my mom is innocent.
11:06Always.
11:06I'm leaving not because she won, but because this city has nothing for me.
11:14This isn't right.
11:20Help!
11:20Let go of me!
11:24The car was from my father.
11:26I thought we were truly kidnapped.
11:27Never noticing that that Celeste's fear is only on her face.
11:31His fiancée's and soon-to-be sister-in-law.
11:33A 100 million ransom seems reasonable enough.
11:36Who?
11:37Lucian, it's me!
11:38We're kidnapped!
11:39Ransom 100 million!
11:40Do not touch Celeste.
11:42Send me your account details, and the funds will be credited immediately.
11:45Another 5 million and you're free.
11:46Tell him.
11:47I knew he wouldn't pay to save me, yet I still held that last pathetic hope for him.
11:50Or are we supposed to have planned the kidnapping and trick Lucan out of 100 million?
11:55Lila's life or death is nothing to me.
11:59Not me!
12:00It's their trap!
12:01Handle her as you wish.
12:02Feel free.
12:05Only now did I see it.
12:07He truly wanted me gone.
12:09Even dead.
12:19I thought I would never see you again.
12:21It's okay, I'll take you back.
12:23He never asked if I was hurt.
12:25Only Celeste exists.
12:26I'm unnecessary.
12:28What about her?
12:29The funds are in.
12:30Handle Lila yourself.
12:32Lucian.
12:36Seems you're not even worth 5 million to him.
12:39Money received.
12:40Let me go.
12:42The money's in, but Celeste's tasks aren't done.
12:45Get lost!
12:47Scars covered my body, but the deepest hurt burned to ashes when Lucian walked away.
12:56Madam, do you need to go to the hospital?
12:57Send me home to Hawthorne.
13:09I came home to find Lucian beside Celestia, feeding her soup.
13:14How dare you plot a kidnapping and use your sister's life to steal money!
13:18Not me.
13:19Kidnappers revealed everything!
13:21Still making excuses?
13:22Dad, don't hit Lila.
13:24She might have just been confused.
13:25Apologize to Celeste.
13:27I did nothing wrong.
13:29Because of you, she nearly died.
13:31I nearly died.
13:32Did you ever ask what happened?
13:34Still dare to talk back?
13:39What are these injuries?
13:40To frame Celeste, she was even willing to go so far as to harm herself.
13:44You?
13:45Kneel down and apologize to your sister!
13:48Apologize.
13:49And we'll let it slide.
13:53I did nothing wrong.
13:55They can break my body, but they'll never make me admit to something I didn't do.
14:05Like my going away present?
14:10Only hours before the flight, Celeste won't miss this last chance to humiliate me.
14:15I wanted you to stay and watch me marry Lucien.
14:18Dad says you've disgraced the family enough.
14:21He won't see you again.
14:22This family's complete only when you leave.
14:26Also, thank you for staying with Lucien for me over the past two years.
14:31At least when I was away, he wasn't that lonely.
14:34The man you love, this home.
14:36I want neither.
14:45I deleted everything about Lucien.
14:47Those messes that once made my heart raise all night now leave nothing but a meaningless name.
14:55The moment the plane left New York, Leela, who had been begging for love and familial affection,
15:01was forever left in the past.
15:06Next, let's watch the precious videos of the two newlyweds from their college years.
15:10After I left, an anonymous video played at their engagement banquet.
15:13The gentle mask everyone believed in began to crack.
15:16Lucien never loved you.
15:18I told him to court you.
15:21The rumor about your mother being a mistress?
15:24I had Lucien spread it.
15:33Turn it off!
15:35Turn off the video right now!
15:45You caused the allergic reaction yourself?
15:49It's not what you think.
15:50I can explain.
15:52Listen, it didn't happen like that.
15:59The first tape proved my innocence.
16:01The second, he watched the hell he dragged me into.
16:11It was Lucien who sent us to teach you a lesson.
16:14He once thought it was just a small punishment.
16:16It wasn't until this footage was made public that he finally understood.
16:18His words had nearly cost me my life.
16:21This has nothing to do with me.
16:22I didn't know they would do this.
16:23Lucien, we just want to stand up for Celeste.
16:24And you said yourself, just don't actually kill anyone.
16:29Focus!
16:30Get out!
16:32She's just a woman.
16:34Is it really worth this?
16:35Whichever hand touched Lila, that's the one I'll destroy.
16:41Lucien, you can't cancel the engagement because of her.
16:44I'm the one you love.
16:46You can't die yet.
16:47If you die, who will repay everything that was done to Lila?
17:00The kidnapping was arranged by Miss Celeste.
17:03She told us to make it look like Lila was the mastermind and to extort a hundred million in ransom.
17:08The two people who appeared before Celeste were the very ones who kidnapped us.
17:12Their testimony tore away the last layer of lies.
17:14I don't know them!
17:16They're lying!
17:20Final recipient of the hundred million ransom, Celeste Hawthorne.
17:25You said you could barely afford to eat abroad.
17:28This is your idea of hardship?
17:32Where is Lila?
17:34I don't know.
17:35She has already left New York.
17:37She went to France.
17:39But as for her current location, no one knows.
17:43Lila has joined Operation Dawn.
17:45She's dissipating humanitarian relief efforts in the war zone.
17:48I need her location.
17:49All personnel movements are strictly confidential.
17:51Neither money nor threats will change that policy.
17:59Lucien couldn't find me, so he numbed himself with alcohol.
18:02You look like Lila.
18:03I picked out a few for you.
18:05Later, he even started searching for my shadow and strange women.
18:10She stays.
18:14Sir Lucien.
18:16Brother-in-law.
18:17Who gave you permission to call me that?
18:21Lila!
18:24Is that the scarf Lila knitted for you back then?
18:28Lila.
18:31Lila!
18:31You've got the wrong person!
18:33Let go of me!
18:35He knew none of them were me, but he stubbornly searched for answers in every face that looked
18:40even a little like mine.
18:43Arrange a comm specialist identity for me.
18:46I want to join Operation Dawn within three days.
18:57After joining Operation Dawn, I followed the medical team through different war zones.
19:02The wounded and the shelling filled every day, leaving me no time to dwell on the past.
19:07I heard the camp got a new comm specialist.
19:10They say he looks like a movie star.
19:11This is a war zone, not a mixer.
19:13You can't shut everyone out just because of one bad guy.
19:16After leaving New York, I was diagnosed with severe depression.
19:20Only by constantly saving lives could I forget the nights when I was hurt.
19:25There's still someone in the rubble!
19:42It's not safe here.
19:44Come with me.
19:54I told myself it was just the voice.
19:57Lucien was already engaged to CELTA.
19:59He would never give up everything in New York to appear in this war.
20:03If it hurts, say so.
20:05You don't have to endure it.
20:07It's fine.
20:08What happened to your face?
20:10Burns.
20:11I don't want to scare anyone.
20:15Is he the new comm specialist?
20:16Did you see his face?
20:17No.
20:17He said he has burns.
20:19But everyone says he's really good looking.
20:20He just saved my life.
20:21Don't talk about his appearance.
20:25His gait, his movements, even the way he breathed in silence.
20:28All of it unsettled me more and more.
20:30But whenever I got close, he would deliberately avoid my eyes.
20:34The comm's base is under attack.
20:36We need personnel for emergency repair.
20:38You only used a fake identity to get into the war zone.
20:40You don't need to actually risk your life.
20:42He says I'm out there.
20:51I don't know why I was searching for him.
20:55Maybe because he saved me.
20:57There's one still alive here!
20:59Or maybe because the guess I was too afraid to admit had already gotten too close to the truth.
21:10Wasn't he supposed to be disfigured?
21:16Layla, don't go.
21:18You two know each other?
21:21Let go of me!
21:23I've been looking for you for a long time.
21:28I want Layla to treat my wounds.
21:32There are other doctors here.
21:35I only want you.
21:37He crossed half the world to find me, but he still uses his commands to make me stay.
21:43You've gotten thinner.
21:47The wound is deep.
21:48Talk less.
21:50After you're done, we need to talk.
21:52As if everything that happened could simply be erased by him.
21:58I thought I had already let go of the past.
22:00But the moment I saw Lucian again, all the humiliation, betrayal, and pain came rushing back into my body.
22:06It's done.
22:09Come back to New York with me.
22:11I've already called off the engagement with Celesta.
22:13Once we're back, I'll give you the grandest wedding you've ever seen.
22:16You think a wedding is what I want?
22:18I'll make it up to you.
22:19You can have anything you want.
22:21If someone did to you everything you did to me, every single thing, would you friv them?
22:26You let the whole world see my private video?
22:29You had people torture me?
22:30You handed me over to kidnappers, and now you stand here telling you'll make it up to me?
22:34I didn't know they would go that far.
22:35But every single time, you were the one who handed me over to them first.
22:42The Layla who loved you was killed by your own hands.
22:45I'm not asking you to forgive me right away.
22:48I don't love you anymore, and I don't want to hate you either.
22:51I just wish we had never met.
22:52That was the first time I truly pushed him away.
22:55I thought if I made myself clear enough, he would accept that it was over.
23:00I won't let you disappear again.
23:10When I woke up, I was already back in New York.
23:13Lucian didn't get my forgiveness, so he simply took away my freedom.
23:18You kidnapped me?
23:19I just brought you back where you belong.
23:22This is not my home.
23:24It will be.
23:26Lucian, what am I to you, really?
23:28You are the person I love most.
23:34You love me, so you lock me up in chains?
23:36As long as you stop trying to leave, I'll remove the chains.
23:38What you want isn't me.
23:40What you want is a doll that will never fight back.
23:42You're just sick.
23:44Once you get better, you'll understand how much I love you.
23:46A mansion, jewelry, extravagant gifts.
23:49He piled everything people envy right in front of me.
23:51But every time those chains rattled, they reminded me.
23:53I'm nothing but his possession.
23:56Layla!
23:59He thought expensive food and gifts could heal me.
24:02Get these chains off, doctor, now!
24:04But the very thing that made me wither day by day was that suffocating love he calls affection.
24:09Her physical deterioration is caused by severe psychological trauma.
24:13How do we treat it?
24:14Stop the captivity.
24:15Let her return to a normal life.
24:16Otherwise, she may not last much longer.
24:18If she leaves here, she'll disappear again.
24:21If she stays here, she could die.
24:25Please, get me out of here.
24:29When the only person who could have saved me chose to walk away, I thought I would never make it
24:34out of this cage.
24:36Make her forget the past.
24:38Erase every memory that makes her want to leave.
24:43Layla, I'm here to take you home!
24:46That fire was no accident.
24:49Someone used an entire estate as the price to open the only escape route for me.
24:57Layla, it's Dad.
25:00I'm sorry.
25:00I was so wrong about you.
25:03Why did you come?
25:04I found out the truth about the kidnapping.
25:06And I learned everything Salivia has done.
25:08I went to the estate so many times, but Lucian wouldn't let anyone see you.
25:12So I had no choice but to set the fire to get you out.
25:14Lucian won't let you get away with this.
25:17Your father already has everything in place.
25:19Overnight, Lucian lost his company, his power, and his reputation.
25:23The very things he used to control everyone, now they were turning against him.
25:31Layla, you finally came to see me.
25:34Look closely.
25:35I'm not her.
25:38After being cast out of the Hawthorne family,
25:41Salia lost her wealth, her status, and everyone's adoration.
25:44In the end, she pinned all the blame for her fall into hell on Lucian.
25:46You broke off our engagement and ruined my life!
25:49You destroyed Layla first.
25:50What gives you the right to judge me?
25:52You're the one who spread the rumors!
25:54You're the one who had her tortured!
25:55You're the one who handed her over to the kidnappers!
25:59You're just as guilty as I am.
26:01Neither of us is innocent!
26:05You said you'd love me forever!
26:08Then die!
26:09Please!
26:13The school in France already replied,
26:15You can go back and continue your studies whenever you're ready.
26:20I want to go back.
26:24It took me three months to learn how to eat, sleep, and believe again.
26:27To believe that even after leaving them, my life could still go on.
26:31When I was about to fly back to France,
26:33Lucian escaped from the hospital and chased me all the way to the airport.
26:37You've got some nerve showing your face here!
26:39Don't go.
26:40If you stay, I'll give you everything.
26:44When everyone was against me, you were the one who stood up and protected me.
26:47Back then, I thought you were the light that finally shone into my life.
26:51I understand now.
26:51It was always you I loved.
26:53Even when I knew you came to me with an agenda, I lied to myself.
26:56I thought, maybe you had at least a little bit of real feelings for me.
26:59But in the end, you were the one who personally pushed me into hell.
27:02Give me one chance.
27:03I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.
27:05I already gave you so many chances.
27:09And now, there are none left.
27:13My love, it's gone to me.
27:15I didn't forgive him.
27:16I didn't keep hating him either.
27:17I was just finally calm enough to admit, Lucian is no longer a part of my life.
27:25After returning to France, I started taking classes again,
27:28joined clubs I liked, and made new friends.
27:31No one here knows what the Layla from New York went through.
27:33The school is organizing a Winter Aurora trip.
27:36You have to come.
27:37I still have a piece I haven't finished.
27:39Your artwork isn't going anywhere.
27:40The Aurora won't wait for you.
27:43See that?
27:43Caleb has had a crush on you for a while now.
27:45Stop making things up.
27:49Layla, the Aurora trip still needs partners.
27:51Would you maybe want to be my partner?
27:53Okay.
27:54I'll definitely take good care of you.
28:02This is the warmest spot.
28:04You can sit here.
28:04When the Aurora shows up, I'll handle the photos.
28:07You just watch.
28:07A beautiful view shouldn't just stay in the camera.
28:12That news from New York brought Lucian's final message.
28:18Are you okay?
28:19I once loved him so much, and I once hated him just as fiercely.
28:23I thought when I heard the news of his death, I would at least feel sad or relieved.
28:27But when it actually came, all I felt was peace.
28:30If you don't want to continue the trip, we can head back right now.
28:32No need.
28:33It's beautiful here.
28:34I don't want to miss it because of the past.
28:36Then don't think about anything.
28:37Just wait for the Aurora.
28:38Caleb didn't press me about my past, and he didn't ask me to let it all go right away.
28:43He just sat quietly beside me, letting me decide how fast I wanted to move on.
28:47The Aurora!
28:48Quick!
28:48The Aurora's here!
28:53When the long night was lit up by the green Aurora, I suddenly realized that everything
28:58that happened in New York could no longer trap me.
29:03Why aren't you looking at the sky?
29:05I already looked at it.
29:06You were clearly staring at me the whole time.
29:09Sorry, I didn't mean to.
29:10Is this yours?
29:11I was originally going to give it to Chloe, but she already has a couple scarves.
29:17So, this is for me?
29:19If you don't like it, you can give it back.
29:21I love it.
29:21I'll wear it all the time.
29:23I once knitted a scarf for someone else, too.
29:25Back then, he was my entire life in his hands.
29:27Now, I just want to give a someone who respects me.
29:30Caleb?
29:31Yeah?
29:32When the weather gets warmer, let's go on a Springs outing together.
29:35Just the two of us?
29:36You don't want to?
29:38I'd love to.
29:39Of course I want to.
29:40Lucian's death didn't mean happy, and it didn't make me sad.
29:44Because what I truly needed was never his punishment, but to take back my own life.
29:49Wounds don't disappear overnight, but they do heal eventually.
29:54The coldest winter has passed, and I'm finally ready to walk into my own spring.
29:59I'm healed now.
