FunTranscript
00:02Everyone in Upper East Side High Society knew the Voss daughters were all exceptionally fertile.
00:07My oldest sister had twins. My second sister had triplets. Only me, Elena, was the odd one out.
00:12Seven years married to Julian Sterling, heir to the Sterling family, and my belly never moved.
00:18Finally, old Mrs. Sterling couldn't take it anymore.
00:22After humiliating me a hundred times, she forced Julian to divorce me, and my father thought I'd
00:27disgraced the Voss name. The day after I was sent back to my family home, he packed me up
00:32overnight and sent me to a Mafia Don who supposedly made his money in the underworld. When they shoved
00:37me into that black car, I cried all my makeup off. Damien Kessler. They said he was ruthless and
00:42cold. Anyone who knew him was afraid of him. When I was sent to his estate, there was no trace
00:47of a
00:47wedding anywhere. No ceremony, no flowers. Even the bedroom was cold black and white. No decoration at
00:53all. He stood in the doorway in a black shirt, looked at me once, and put a black card on
00:57the
00:57nightstand. This is my secondary card. I'll wire money in every month. Use it however you want.
01:01I have a son and a daughter. They both go to private school. Just treat them like your own.
01:05You can't have kids, so just think of it as saving someone for your old age. Then he turned and
01:10left
01:10without looking back. The words, can't have kids. I'd heard them for seven years, and now, after finally
01:16crawling out of the Sterling family hellhole, I was supposed to carry them again? That night, Damien came
01:21back at two in the morning. He didn't waste time. He showered and got into bed and pulled me into
01:25his arms.
01:30A whole night of silent sex, and I bit the pillow and held on until dawn. When I woke up
01:35the next
01:36morning, he was gone. I'd just put on my pajamas when the nanny walked in with two kids, all smiles.
01:42Ma'am, these are the sir's children, Leo and Mia.
01:45The two kids looked at me nervously, hiding behind the nanny. I looked at them with a flat gaze. In
01:50those
01:50seven years at the Sterling house, every time a guest brought their kids over, old Mrs. Sterling would
01:55call me into the living room. Useless thing, look how big everyone else's kids are. And you? Married
02:00this long and still no child? Even a hen does better than you. Her words cut into my heart like
02:06knives. What hurt most was after every guest left, old Mrs. Sterling would have someone bring me to
02:10her room. They'd hold me down and make me take all kinds of pills that were supposed to help me
02:14conceive. Every time I'd throw up. But when I stumbled back to the bedroom weak, Julian would look at me
02:19with disgust. Did you fight with my mother again? Can't you just go along with her?
02:25She's only doing it for your own good so you can have a baby sooner.
02:29So for a long time, I hated children. The nanny saw my cold expression. She said a few more things
02:34about the kids and led them out. I didn't bother with her. Every day I hid in the bedroom, either
02:39reading or scrolling on my phone. Damien didn't bother with me either. He left before dawn and came
02:44back after I was asleep. Every night, he'd do the deed like it was routine, then sleep. The only
02:49difference was, when he was on top of me, it gradually stopped hurting. Sometimes I'd even
02:53respond without thinking. That went on for half a year. And then my period was suddenly two weeks
02:58late. If it were before, I would have gone crazy with joy. But now I just stayed calm and acted
03:04like
03:04nothing happened. After all, in those seven years married to Julian, my period had been late a few
03:09times. Every time I thought I was pregnant, I'd tell Julian. So happy. But he called the doctor to check
03:13me.
03:13And the doctor would always push up his glasses. Mrs. Sterling, this isn't pregnancy. It's a
03:18hormone imbalance causing your period to be late. Every time the doctor left, Julian would scold
03:23me coldly. Don't do anything this embarrassing again. My mother-in-law was worse. The next morning
03:29at breakfast, she'd throw a cup of coffee in my face. Embarrassing thing. You know you can't get
03:35pregnant and you still call the doctor over? Do you know the whole upper class is laughing at the
03:39Sterling family because of you? So this time, I didn't even call a doctor. I ate breakfast like
03:43usual, sat by the window reading and scrolling on my phone. But at noon, the nanny taking care of
03:48the two kids suddenly rushed into my room. Ma'am, the young master's driver just said the young
03:52master had made his classmates' mouth bleed. Then go to the company and find your Mr. Keller. I can't,
03:56ma'am. Mr. Keller said this morning he's going abroad for a business trip. He told me to tell you
04:00not to
04:00wait up for him tonight. I was a little confused. Did I ever wait up for him? But I still
04:04put down my
04:04phone and followed the nanny out. This was the best elite school in the Upper East Side. Julian and I
04:09had
04:10both studied here as children. Here, we once saved a kitten that fell into the fountain.
04:16When I was punished with standing, Julian always stood with me.
04:22When we were young, he swore he'd marry me with the biggest wedding once we grew up. But after we
04:27got married, just because I couldn't have kids, he treated me like dirt. I held back the tears about
04:31to fall, walked down the familiar hallway. Before I reached the classroom building, I saw Julian standing
04:36in the admin building. Half a year since I'd seen him and he still stood so straight. No misery over
04:41losing me on his face. If anything, he looked more confident than ever. Just as I stopped walking,
04:46a woman in head-to-toe designer wear walked into the admin building, helped by an assistant. I knew her,
04:51Cecilia, the old headmaster's granddaughter. The moment she got close, she threw herself at Julian.
04:55Julian, I missed you so much.
05:02Careful. You know your situation right now. Don't be clumsy.
05:06This is the daughter of our school board, Peridant. She's marrying Mr. Sterling next month.
05:13They're very close. Can't help being a little affectionate.
05:17Married? That fast? Then again, Julian had been dying to get rid of me for a long time. I forced
05:22myself to look away. Thankfully, the teacher soon led me to the classroom building. As soon as I got
05:27there, I saw Leo, the boy I'd only met a few times in half a year. Next to him stood
05:31a smug-looking
05:32kid. I knew that kid too. It was Tristan, Julian's sister's son. Every time he came over,
05:37old Mrs. Sterling would start humiliating me, even locking me in a room and whipping me. I'd
05:41just stopped walking when Leo's class teacher, Ms. Catherine, came out. She looked at Leo seriously.
05:46Come here. Tell me why you were fighting. Tristan started it. He said my mom can't have kids,
05:54said my mom was thrown away by his uncle, and picked up by my dad. I couldn't hold it in,
06:00so I- Enough! That's obviously a lie. Hitting people is wrong. Apologize to Tristan.
06:08I won't apologize! He started it! Before he could finish, Catherine had already pulled
06:13Leo in front of Tristan. I had only come here to go through the motions, but in this moment,
06:18Catherine was being way too unfair. Ms. Catherine, you're saying it's Leo's fault without even asking
06:24what happened? What, do you think he has no parents? Everyone looked at me. Leo was the
06:35first to react. The moment he saw me, he threw himself at me. Mom, Tristan hit me! He grabbed onto
06:40my leg and held on tight. That was the first time I learned how small and soft a kid's hands
06:44could be.
06:45I didn't push him away. I looked at Catherine sharply. You said my son does nothing but lie,
06:50but you judged him without asking a single question. What is that? You can't even raise
06:57your own kid, and you want to tell me how to do my job? Ms. Catherine, Leo isn't her kid.
07:06She was married to my uncle for seven years and couldn't have a single child. She's just a reject
07:12kicked out of the Sterling family. I didn't respond to Tristan. I crouched down and said quietly to Leo,
07:18Can you beat him? Leo froze for a second, then nodded. Then go punch him right now. If you can't
07:27win,
07:27I'll have someone help you. Leo's eyes lit up with surprise. Go! Leo shot toward Tristan like a little rabbit.
07:35I'd seen Leo practice Taekwondo at home before. He was only six and could already break a one
07:40centimeter board with a kick. So when I got to the school, I thought it was strange that Leo would
07:44let that spoiled Tristan push him around. But getting hit didn't matter, just hit back. Sure enough,
07:49in no time, Leo had Tristan pinned on the ground howling.
07:56Leo! How dare you hit Tristan! I'll teach you a lesson!
08:00On the way to school, the nanny told me that Damien worried his mafia family identity would
08:05keep other kids from playing with the two children. So they'd always told people the kids were from an
08:10ordinary family. But I never expected the teacher to be this much of a snob, actually putting her
08:15hands on a child. Seeing her hand about to come down on Leo's back, I yelled at the nanny.
08:21What are you standing there for? Pull her off him and slap her!
08:25The nanny looked at me in panic. But if you don't do it today, pack your things and get out
08:30tonight.
08:32Backed into a corner, the nanny rolled up her sleeves and charged at Catherine.
08:37She grabbed her by the hair and yanked her to the ground. Who do you think you are bullying our
08:41young master? The whole scene was chaos. Tristan was pinned under Leo howling. Catherine was pinned
08:47under the nanny also howling. I looked at the scene in front of me and just smirked. While I was
08:52enjoying it,
08:53stop! What do you think you're doing? Keep hitting. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility.
08:59Julian finally recognized me. He walked over in disbelief and grabbed my wrist. Elena,
09:04what are you doing here? Julian grabbed my wrist so hard it hurt. I swung back and slapped him across
09:10the face. Julian, we're divorced. What do you think you're doing grabbing me? Julian was stunned by the
09:16slap, staring at me in disbelief. Uncle! Uncle, help me! He grabbed Leo by the collar and yanked him up.
09:25Leo was smart. The moment his feet hit the ground, he ran to me and hid behind my back. Julian
09:29looked at
09:30Tristan and yelled at me with a frown. Elena, you knew Tristan has a weak constitution and you still hit
09:35him!
09:38What have you become? Whether Tristan is weak or not is none of my business.
09:43I'm telling you, if he ever lays a hand on Leo again, I'll have Leo beat him to death and
09:47control
09:47Tristan's mouth. If he spreads any more rumors about me, I don't mind sending my husband to pay
09:51your family a visit. Question is, would the Stirlers dare to see him? I thought Julian would explode with
09:56anger. After all, in seven years of marriage, I never dared talk back to him once. But instead,
10:02when he heard my words, his eyes were full of pain. He grabbed my shoulders, worked up.
10:07You? You're married? I gasped from the pain but couldn't break free just as I was about to slap him
10:16again. Elena, are you okay? Who gave you the nerve to touch my wife?
10:27I turned around. It was Damien. Weren't you abroad? What are you doing here? Damien studied me.
10:35The housekeeper told me about Leo, so I came back. Julian got up from the ground, clutching his
10:40stomach and pointed at Damien furiously. You dare hit me? Do you know who I am? Let go of Elena!
10:46He lunged toward us, but the moment he moved, a group of men in black surrounded him. One of them
10:51pulled out a gun and pointed it straight at his head. Julian's voice shook with fear. What do you
10:57want? Who the hell are you? I gave Damien a look to let me go, then walked up to Julian.
11:03What, you can get married but I can't? This is my husband, Damien Kessler. I'm sure the name
11:07isn't unfamiliar to you. The moment Julian heard the name, his eyes went wide with shock.
11:11Don of the Kessler Mafia family? How could you marry him? I ignored him. I looked at Catherine,
11:17who had collapsed on the ground, covering her bloody mouth. You think you can bully Leo just
11:21because his family has no connections? Well, you just messed with the wrong people. Catherine,
11:26your teaching career is over. Damien took Leo's hand as he ran to his side. He looked at the
11:32injuries on Leo's face and said with murder in his voice. Laying a hand on my child, you have a
11:37death
11:38wish. The moment he spoke, a few bodyguards stepped up and lifted Catherine off the ground.
11:44Drag her further away. Don't scare the kids. Then he looked at Julian, who was drenched in cold sweat,
11:49and Tristan was trembling beside him. I don't lay hands on children, so your parents will pay for it.
11:53I'm sure they'll be thrilled to move into the slums with you. As for you, Julian,
11:56your company has a shipment going out from the docks tonight, right? Make sure you go watch the
12:00fireworks tonight. I patted Leo's head. Go get Mia. We're not coming back to this school.
12:05Then I looked at Julian, pale and frozen. Julian, from now on, take a detour when you see me,
12:11or I'll hit you every time I do. I didn't look at him again. I took Leo and Mia by
12:15the hand and left
12:16with Damien. On the way home, Leo and Mia kept clinging to me, fighting over who got to sit next
12:21to me.
12:21Damien sat to the side, watching us in silence. After a long while, he said slowly,
12:29Elena, thank you for today. I waved it off. It's nothing.
12:33Leo calls me mom. How could I just watch someone bully him? Damien looked at me,
12:37a faint smile in his eyes. His lips moved like he wanted to say something else, but I spoke first.
12:43Don't you have work to do? Go on. I've got Leo and Mia. I'll take good care of them.
12:48Mia wrapped her arms around mine. Dad, go do your thing. Leo and I will listen to mom.
12:53For some reason, I caught a flicker of disappointment in Damien's eyes. He ruffled Mia's hair.
12:58Can you two behave? No messing around at home. Then he looked at me, his gaze soft and deep.
13:03Call me if anything comes up. When we got home, I took Leo to my room right away to treat
13:08his wounds.
13:10He clenched his fists, his little face red, and didn't make a sound. Mia stood beside him,
13:16worried. After I finished, I told the nanny to take them back to their room for dinner.
13:21Leo hugged me. Mom, I want to eat in your room. The moment he said it,
13:25Mia copied him and grabbed my other arm. Mom, please let us eat in your room.
13:30My body stiffened a little. I still wasn't used to being this close with kids.
13:36The nanny saw and quickly said, Ma'am, just let the young master and miss eat in your room.
13:42They've wanted to eat with you since the day you got married. They're twins. Their mother died in
13:47an accident after giving birth. All these years, the sir has been both father and mother, but he's
13:51busy with business all day. What does he know about taking care of children? Perchan, they took a lot
13:55of crap at school. Every time the sir would just grab the young master and scold him, and that was
13:58it.
13:59This time, thanks to you, the young master didn't get wronged. I looked at their hopeful eyes and
14:04pressed my lips together. Fine. You two can eat here. Leo and Mia cheered happily. After that,
14:12Leo and Mia didn't just eat with me, they slept with me too. Every day, they either had me read
14:17them storybooks or drag me out to walk around with them. Just like that, seven days passed. That night,
14:22I was sound asleep with a kid on each side. Suddenly, I heard a soft sound by my ear. The
14:27door was pushed
14:28open. I opened my eyes half asleep and saw Damien standing in the doorway. He'd just gotten back
14:34from his trip and was still in his suit. When he saw the two kids in the bed, he froze
14:38for a few
14:38seconds. Then he quietly closed the door and stepped out. A while later, he came back in his pajamas.
14:43He stood by the bed and looked at me for a while. They're sleeping here. Where am I supposed to
14:49sleep?
14:50His voice was low, afraid of waking the kids. Maybe we squeeze in? I looked at his strong,
14:56broad frame and felt a little awkward. Damien carefully got into bed. Just as he was about
15:02to lie down, Leo turned over in his sleep, slapped Damien across the face and rolled into my arms.
15:07The crisp slap echoed in the quiet room. Looking at Damien's stunned expression,
15:12I covered my mouth and nearly burst out laughing. I glanced at Leo in my arms.
15:17Maybe you should sleep in their room? He was silent for a few seconds and there was actually a hint
15:21of
15:21helplessness in his voice. Then he got up and left. A moment later, I heard a laptop open in the
15:29room
15:29next door. He was doing work. I turned over, a strange feeling in my chest I couldn't name.
15:36The next morning, Leo and Mia were already gone. I figured he'd gone out like usual. I'd just gotten
15:41up and put on my pajamas when there were two knocks on the bedroom door.
15:46I'm coming in. He pushed the door open, a glass of warm water in his hand. He set it on
15:51the nightstand.
15:52The nanny took the kids to the playground. Did you sleep okay last night? I nodded. He sat down on
16:00the edge of the bed and was quiet for a moment. Elena, I want to talk to you. I looked
16:04at him.
16:07Go ahead. You know exactly what the Kessler family name and position mean. I'm not telling you this to
16:12show off. I'm telling you this is your backing too. You married into the Kessler family, so you're one
16:16of us. No one can touch you. If anyone ever bothers you again, just use my power. And I know
16:21what people
16:21say about me out there, but I don't want you to be afraid of me. I'm not everything they say
16:25I am.
16:26His tone was calm, but something in my heart stirred. I found myself gripping the edge of the blanket.
16:31I understand. He nodded and stood up.
16:37One more thing. About the kids, what I said before, don't take it to heart. I didn't marry
16:42you because you can't have children. It's because... never mind. Forget it.
16:47He hesitated for a moment, but then turned and walked away. I stood there, frozen. So he actually
16:53did care about whether I could have kids? That day, I didn't leave my room, and I didn't eat. The
16:58nanny
16:58knocked a few times. I didn't answer. Then, when it got dark, Mia knocked. Mom, can you open the door?
17:07I miss you. I didn't really want to open it, but I thought about those big pitiful eyes of hers
17:12and
17:12how she clung to the edge of my clothes in her sleep, saying, Mom, don't leave Mia. I couldn't be
17:19hard-hearted after all. I washed my face with cold water and opened the door. The moment she saw me,
17:27Mia threw herself into my arms. Mom, you didn't hug me all day. I missed you so much.
17:33My heart instantly warmed. She snuggled into me for a bit, then looked up. Mom,
17:37Dad's been waiting downstairs for a long time. He's too scared to come up. I froze for a second.
17:42I carried Mia downstairs. In the living room, Damien was sitting on the couch. Several shopping bags
17:48sat on the coffee table in front of him. He stood up and looked at me. He opened the bags
17:52one by one.
17:53This is the coat you circled in the magazine last time. I had someone bring it from Paris.
17:56This is the skincare brand you use. I had someone buy you a whole new set.
18:01This is... He paused. I don't know if you'll like it, but the sales girl said all women love this.
18:05It was a limited edition handbag. I recognized the brand. It wasn't cheap.
18:12What do you mean by this? He looked at me, his eyes serious.
18:18An apology. What I said this morning, that's not what I meant. I didn't marry you because you can't have
18:25children. It's because... He paused, like he was putting his words together.
18:35Your father told me you were divorced and asked if I'd be willing to marry you. I said yes on
18:40the spot.
18:42You probably won't believe this, but I saw you once at your father's company. You were wearing
18:47a white dress that day, standing by the window reading. I watched you for a long time. You never
18:52noticed. I was stunned. So you just said yes, without even knowing what kind of person I am?
18:59I know what people out there say about you. But I don't care. He looked at me, his gaze firm.
19:09Elena, I'm not a good man. All these years when I needed to be ruthless, I never held back.
19:14But I don't mistreat women. Especially not my own wife. He took a step back. Those words,
19:19that's not what I meant. I just wanted you to know, even if we never have kids, I won't pressure
19:23you.
19:24If you don't want to talk to me, fine. But you need to eat. I'll have the Nancy bring dinner
19:28up.
19:28Then he turned and went upstairs. I stood there, looking at the things on the coffee table.
19:33I couldn't name what I was feeling. The next morning, when I woke up,
19:36Damien was already gone. A note was on the nightstand. Next to it was a glass of milk.
19:43Business trip, three days. Call me if anything comes up. Remember to eat.
19:47I touched it. Still warm. I picked up the note and looked at it for a long time.
19:52Three days later, he came back. I'd just gotten the kids to sleep and went downstairs to get water.
19:58When I ran into him coming in. He froze for a second when he saw me.
20:06Still awake?
20:08Yeah. Getting water. I walked into the kitchen. He followed.
20:14Let me. He took the glass from my hand and poured the water for me. When he handed it back,
20:18his fingers accidentally brushed mine. He didn't pull back. I didn't either.
20:22Elena, there's a banquet the day after tomorrow. Your father will be there. I want to bring you.
20:26I looked up at him. What banquet?
20:29The Chamber of Commerce Annual Banquet. Julian will be there too.
20:32He looked at me, his gaze calm.
20:35If you're not comfortable, don't go. No pressure.
20:37I thought about it.
20:42I'll go.
20:44He raised an eyebrow slightly.
20:46You sure?
20:48Sure.
20:50Why?
20:51I set the glass down.
20:53Because I'm your wife now, not the Sterling family's reject.
20:56And I paused, looking at him with a hint of challenge.
20:58Didn't you say the Keller family is so powerful everyone's afraid of them?
21:01I'd like to see for myself if that's true.
21:03He looked at me and suddenly smiled.
21:06All right then. I'll be counting on Mrs. Kessler to accompany me.
21:09The day of the banquet, he had a stylist come to the house early.
21:12I changed into a black gown, put my hair up, and wore the diamond necklace he'd given me.
21:17He came down the stairs, saw me, and his steps faltered for a second.
21:21What is it?
21:24Nothing.
21:25He walked over and offered his arm.
21:27Let's go.
21:28Everyone at the banquet was someone.
21:31I walked in on Damien's arm and could feel the eyes gathering on me.
21:35Isn't that the Vos daughter who can't have kids?
21:37I heard after the Sterlings kicked her out, she married the Don of the Kessler family.
21:40Bold move. Going to be a stepmom in a mafia household.
21:43I felt Damien's arm tense, and even through his sleeve, I could feel the muscle bulge.
21:48I took his hand directly, lacing my fingers through his.
21:51I'm fine. Ignore them.
21:53He raised his head and swept his eyes over the group who'd just spoken.
21:57He didn't say a word, just one look.
21:59Those people shut up immediately, backing away a few steps in fear.
22:02Right then, Julian walked in.
22:04Cecilia was on his arm.
22:06The moment she saw me, her face went dark.
22:08Julian didn't look much better.
22:10I thought Damien would lead me around them, but he walked straight toward Julian, holding my hand.
22:14The whole room went quiet.
22:18Damien spoke first, his tone flat.
22:20Mr. Sterling, long time no see.
22:23Julian gritted his teeth, his voice carrying a hint of fear.
22:26I didn't expect you to bring a date.
22:27Damien corrected him.
22:28Not a date, my wife.
22:30Then he glanced at Cecilia.
22:33I heard you're pregnant before the wedding.
22:35You'd better hurry up, the baby won't wait.
22:37Julian and Cecilia's faces went dark instantly.
22:40Damien smiled.
22:43We have things to do, so we won't keep you.
22:46Elena, let's go.
22:47He lifted our joined hands and waved them in front of Julian, then walked past them with me.
22:53After the banquet, in the car on the way home, I turned to look at Damien, my tone certain.
23:00You did that on purpose today.
23:04Did what on purpose?
23:06Took me in front of Julian on purpose.
23:08He didn't deny it.
23:11Right.
23:12I got a little angry.
23:15Why?
23:16Julian and I are completely over.
23:17Are you worried there's still something between us?
23:19You looked into my eyes.
23:20No, Elena.
23:21Because I want everyone to know you're someone I treasure.
23:24Not the Sterling family's reject.
23:26Not a woman who gets humiliated just because she can't have kids.
23:29You're my wife, Damien Kessler's wife.
23:31If anyone dares run their mouth again, they're going against the entire Kessler family.
23:34I stared at him blankly, then lowered my head.
23:39What is it?
23:41Nothing.
23:42Just that you really aren't like the rumors.
23:44People say you're cold-blooded and heartless, but I think you actually feel more than any of them.
23:49And I looked up at him with a mock glare.
23:53I get now why your men are so loyal to you.
23:55You really know how to get inside people's heads.
23:58He let out a soft laugh and pulled me into his arms.
24:01I do know how to make people submit to me, but that's for my men and my rivals.
24:04Elena, you're different.
24:06You're my wife.
24:07You never have to submit to me.
24:08You just have to be yourself.
24:09Leave everything else to me.
24:11I leaned against his shoulder, watching the city light slide past the window.
24:14For the first time, I thought marrying this man might not be so bad after all.
24:17When we got home, the kids were already asleep.
24:20I changed out of the gown, took a shower, and lay down in bed, already half asleep.
24:26Damien came out of the study and lay down beside me, watching me.
24:31Elena, you were really beautiful today.
24:37Thanks.
24:38I mumbled, half asleep.
24:40After a moment of silence, Damien spoke again.
24:44Elena?
24:47I sighed.
24:48What now?
24:49I want to tell you, when I married you, I was actually happy.
24:52But I knew you didn't really want to marry me.
24:54I was afraid you'd feel uncomfortable around me, so I didn't dare get too close.
24:58It's strange.
24:59The moment I see you, I always turn clumsy.
25:01I felt a lot more awake.
25:02In front of you, all the calm and self-control I pride myself on just completely falls apart.
25:07How come I never noticed this man was so good with words?
25:09I wrapped my arms around his neck.
25:10Is that all you wanted to tell me?
25:12I don't see what's so attractive about me.
25:14Your taste doesn't seem that great.
25:16He laughed.
25:17My taste is great.
25:18Otherwise, how would I have married you?
25:20I rolled my eyes and turned my back to him.
25:23Damien wrapped his arms around me.
25:24Warm kisses landed one by one on the side of my neck.
25:28He whispered,
25:30Elena, thank you for staying.
25:32For staying with me and the kids.
25:34I felt my body melt into water, completely dissolving into his arms.
25:38The night was especially long.
25:40I held tight to Damien's broad back and felt completely grounded and happy.
25:45And so, the days passed, one by one, until two months later, I was pregnant.
25:50It was an ordinary evening. The four of us were having dinner.
25:54Suddenly, I felt nauseous and couldn't help dry heaving a few times.
26:00Damien was at my side immediately, rubbing my back, asking anxiously.
26:06Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the hospital right now.
26:08Leo handed me a glass of water and he and Mia looked at me, worried.
26:12I took a few sips and waited a moment.
26:16I'm fine. I probably just ate something that didn't sit right.
26:20Then, I touched Leo and Mia's little faces and smiled.
26:24Don't worry. Mom's fine.
26:27Damien still wasn't convinced. He threw a word at the nanny.
26:29Take care of Leo and Mia. I'm taking Elena to the hospital.
26:32Then, he scooped me up and rushed to the car.
26:36At the hospital, Damien stayed with me through a bunch of tedious tests.
26:40When the doctor walked over with the results, I felt his grip on my hand tighten.
26:44The doctor came up to us, beaming.
26:46Mr. Kessler, Mrs. Kessler, congratulations. Mrs. Kessler is pregnant.
26:50Damien reacted way more than I expected.
26:52He froze on the spot, visibly shocked and nervous.
26:54Elena, you're really pregnant? My child?
26:57I gave him a light smack.
26:59Are you stupid? If not yours, whose would it be?
27:02His throat moved. Then, he suddenly took my hand.
27:06Elena, thank you. Thank you for being willing to have my child.
27:10His eyes were a little red.
27:12Don't worry. From now on, you and the kids, I'll take care of you.
27:17After that, Damien changed. The mafia don who once made people tremble,
27:22was now just an ordinary husband. He came home early, helped the two kids with their homework,
27:26and took the whole family out on weekends. Any unfinished work he'd handle in the study at night.
27:31Sometimes, I'd wake up in the middle of the night and see the light still on in his study.
27:35I'd bring him a glass of water. He'd take it and look at me.
27:38Why are you still awake?
27:40Can't sleep.
27:42I can't sleep. Damon, I miss you a little.
27:44He smiled.
27:48Come on. I'll stay with you.
27:50He closed his laptop and led me back to bed.
27:53Then, he gently rested his hand on my belly, feeling the faint movements inside.
27:57Leo and Mia also touched my belly every day and asked,
28:00Mom, is a little brother or sister really going to come out of your belly?
28:05I gently stroke their heads.
28:08Leo, Mia, someday someone will tell you that the baby in my belly is different from you too.
28:13But I want you to know, Mom will always treat you exactly the same.
28:17The two kids didn't quite understand, but they still crowded around me affectionately.
28:20Mom, when the baby comes out, I'll give them all my snacks and toys.
28:24And my little dresses, I'll give them to my sister.
28:29I smiled and pulled them both into my arms.
28:31I thought I'd never cross paths with Julian again.
28:34But I didn't expect that when I went to my father's house that day, I'd see him there.
28:38He'd lost a lot of weight.
28:40The moment he saw me, his eyes went red.
28:45Elena, I finally found you.
28:47I've been looking for you this whole time, but for some reason I couldn't reach you.
28:50So the moment I heard you were coming to your father's house, I rushed over.
28:53Damien really had been quietly blocking a lot of trouble for me.
28:57I looked at Julian impatiently.
29:00If I remember correctly, we're divorced.
29:02And Cecilia should have given birth by now.
29:05Instead of staying home, taking care of her and the baby, what are you doing here?
29:08The moment he heard Cecilia's name, anger and shame rose on Julian's face.
29:13Don't mention that bitch to me.
29:14The baby was born with a genetic disease.
29:17Neither of our families has it.
29:18I had someone look into it and sure enough, the baby isn't mine.
29:21That bitch was with someone else a long time ago.
29:23When that man dumped her, she came to me to be her backup.
29:26Then he looked at me, pleading.
29:30Elena, I've already thrown Cecilia out and I've talked to my mother.
29:34Since you can get pregnant after you have this baby, just divorce Damien and come back to me.
29:39I don't mind.
29:40I looked at him.
29:41We can start over.
29:42Feeling how ridiculous and pathetic he was.
29:44Julian, are you sick?
29:46I'm Damien's wife now.
29:48I have nothing to do with you.
29:50Are you trying to steal Damien's wife?
29:52Have you thought through what it means to go against him?
29:55Julian's face went pale with anger.
29:58What's so great about him?
30:00We were married seven years.
30:02How long have you even known him?
30:03He's a mafia don.
30:05Do you know how much blood is on his hands?
30:06One day you'll set him off and he'll put a bullet in your head.
30:09I let out a cold laugh.
30:12What's so great about him?
30:14He's richer than you.
30:16He has better manners than you.
30:18He knows how to respect people better than you.
30:20And most importantly, he's a thousand times better in bed than you.
30:25Julian's face got darker with every word.
30:28Just then, a cold voice came from the doorway.
30:33I'd like to see who's here harassing my wife.
30:35Damien walked in, a group of men in black behind him, lining up behind him.
30:39He walked up to me and raised an eyebrow.
30:42I didn't expect I had so many good qualities in your eyes.
30:45Thinking about what I just said, my face went red.
30:47Damien put his arm around me and looked at Julian, his voice carrying a cold, killing intent.
30:51Were you just trying to steal my wife?
30:52I know my wife is lovely, but if you dare have ideas about her, you're dead.
30:57Cold sweat started forming on Julian's forehead.
31:02He swallowed and his voice shook a little.
31:05If Cecilia hadn't lied to me, we never would have separated.
31:08Maybe the baby Elaine is carrying now would be mine.
31:14You're the one who swooped in and stole her.
31:17Damien laughed out of pure anger.
31:19He waved his hand and a bodyguard handed him a file.
31:23Damien flipped it and threw it in Julian's face.
31:30You think you can have kids?
31:32Take a look.
31:33After you read it, you won't think that anymore.
31:35Julian picked up the file, confused.
31:37The more he flipped through it, the worse his expression got.
31:40By the last page, his face had gone completely pale.
31:43He collapsed onto the floor, helpless, and shouted at Damien in despair.
31:49Impossible.
31:51How could I be the one with the problem?
31:54Damien, was it you?
31:56You had someone fake this report, didn't you?
31:58Damien looked at him with contempt.
31:59You're not worth me faking anything.
32:03I had someone get your sample and sent it to a professional lab, a zoo aspermia.
32:11Julian, you're the one who can't have kids.
32:13You let Alina carry the blame for seven years.
32:15In that moment, it all clicked.
32:17For seven whole years, I'd been laughed at and insulted for being infertile.
32:21It was never my problem.
32:23My head went blank with a buzz, and I felt my body fall backward.
32:26Damien caught me at once, asking anxiously.
32:29Alina, how are you?
32:31Are you okay?
32:32I leaned against him, closed my eyes, and let out a deep breath.
32:36I'm fine.
32:36I just can't take it in for a moment.
32:39He looked at my reddened eyes and kissed my forehead tenderly.
32:42It's okay. It's okay. I'll deal with this eyesore right now, then take you home.
32:48Then he called over a few bodyguards, his voice cold.
32:51Teach him a lesson. Don't hold back.
32:54When you're done, dump him in the report at the Sterling family's front door.
32:58Let his mother see.
33:00Someone else will discipline the worthless son she failed to raise.
33:04Later, the next time I heard about Julian was months afterward.
33:07They said when his mother saw Julian, beaten bloody, and that test report,
33:11she lost her mind on the spot.
33:13She went around asking everyone where Cecilia had gone,
33:16saying Cecilia was the one who'd ruined Julian, and she wanted revenge.
33:20The whole circle also learned the truth about why the Sterlings had no child for seven years,
33:25and mocked the Sterlings mercilessly.
33:27After Julian woke up, he never dared leave the house again, and he had no heart to run the company.
33:32Soon the company was bought out by someone else, and the Sterling family disappeared completely from
33:37the Upper East Side, but I didn't have the energy to care about any of that anymore,
33:41because my baby was about to be born.
33:43Outside the delivery room, Damien paced back and forth anxiously.
33:47He'd wanted to be in the room with me, but I insisted he stay outside with Leo and Mia.
33:51Mia held Damien's hand and looked up at him.
33:53Dad, Mom will be okay, right?
33:56Damien squeezed her hand.
34:01Mom and the baby will both come out safe.
34:04Finally, the delivery room door opened, and the doctor walked out smiling.
34:09Damien quickly led Leo and Mia over.
34:12Congratulations, Mr. Kessler. Your wife had quadruples.
34:15Two boys, two girls. Mother and babies are all healthy.
34:19Damien was stunned.
34:22What? Four?
34:24Leo and Mia also covered their mouths in surprise.
34:27So we're getting both brothers and sisters!
34:31Damien stood by the baby cribs, looking at four identical, wrinkly little faces.
34:35He was silent for a full minute. Then he turned to look at me.
34:42Elena, our family does have a tradition of twins, but four at once, that's a bit much.
34:47I lay in bed, exhausted.
34:50You think I wanted this?
34:52He walked over, brushed a few messy strands of hair from my forehead, and took my hand.
34:56No more. No more after this. Having babies is too hard on you. We have six. That's enough.
35:04Elena, from now on, you and the kids are my everything.
35:08I looked at him. Our eyes met, and we smiled at each other.
35:11Sunlight came through the window, falling on us, and on Leo and Mia, who were hovering around the four
35:17cribs, looking left and right, warm and happy.
