AmusantTranscription
00:00:00Fifteen days before our wedding, I found out my mafia fiancé had already married his mistress.
00:00:05He planned to keep me in the dark and go through with our ceremony anyway.
00:00:08I didn't confront him. I gave his miss list the bride's place.
00:00:12By the time he lifted the veil, I'd left New York for good.
00:00:15Do you like the surprise I prepared for you, Adrian?
00:00:17Adrian went mad with regret. He searched the world and begged on his knees for me to come back.
00:00:21But I was already marrying a wealthy heir who loved only me.
00:00:25This time, I refused to settle.
00:00:27I walked away without looking back, straight into a life of love and luxury.
00:00:32It all began fifteen days before the wedding.
00:00:37Miss Bennet, so everything stays the same?
00:00:40Except the bride?
00:00:44That's right.
00:00:48Then, should I let Mr. Hawthorne know?
00:00:50No. He's busy.
00:00:52For anything about the wedding, you clear it with me.
00:00:56The wedding in fifteen days is my last gift to Adrian.
00:00:59A surprise like this only works when the veil comes up.
00:01:03The second I booked my flight, Adrian called.
00:01:08Lila, mom wants us at the estate for dinner tonight.
00:01:11She got you something too.
00:01:13Wanna guess what it is?
00:01:14Everyone in New York high satiety knew Adrian ran more than Hawthorne grew.
00:01:20He ruled the New York underworld too.
00:01:22Cold, dangerous, untouchable.
00:01:26And all his tenderness was for me.
00:01:31At least until yesterday, I thought I was the only woman he loved.
00:01:36I'm working on a surprise for the wedding.
00:01:38I'll head to the estate tonight.
00:01:39You don't have to pick me up.
00:01:41What surprise?
00:01:43You'll find out on the wedding day.
00:01:45Alright.
00:01:46I'll look forward to it.
00:01:48Because last night, I found the city hall marriage certificate in Adrian's pocket.
00:01:53The one proving he and Vanessa had already gotten married.
00:01:57He already had a legal wife.
00:01:59And fifteen days later, he was still going to marry me.
00:02:03Of course the wedding would go on as planned.
00:02:07Just not me.
00:02:09Our mothers had been best friends since school.
00:02:12Adrian and I grew up together.
00:02:16Less than a month after my mother died, my father married the woman he'd been cheating
00:02:21with for years.
00:02:22She had me sent to a remote town.
00:02:24When I woke up, a drunk was tearing at my clothes.
00:02:34Adrian found me.
00:02:36In that moment, he felt heaven sent.
00:02:39After he saved me, the trauma ran deep.
00:02:42Adrian took me to therapist after therapist.
00:02:46And over the years, he pulled me out of that nightmare.
00:02:49Day by day, he warmed me back to life.
00:02:52But after what my father did to my mother, I was careful with love.
00:02:57So before I chose Adrian, I made one thing clear.
00:03:02I only accept all-in love.
00:03:04If you stop loving me, we part cleanly.
00:03:07But if you betray me, you'll never find me again.
00:03:11Lila Benny, you're the only one I'll ever want.
00:03:19Adrian designed these wedding rings himself.
00:03:21He said together, they made a whole heart.
00:03:24Proof we'd never be apart.
00:03:26But Vanessa's the one he married at City Hall.
00:03:30So these rings belong on her hand.
00:03:34This apartment is full of proof that Adrian and I were once in love.
00:03:38In the 14 days I have left, I'll erase it all.
00:03:42Piece by piece.
00:03:44Until this place looks like I was never here.
00:03:48You show up dressed like that?
00:03:50Don't expect to get out of bed tomorrow.
00:03:53This is your little bonus.
00:03:54Limited time offer, so you'd better show up tonight.
00:03:58Just wait till tonight.
00:04:02I've known Adrian for over 20 years.
00:04:04And I'd never heard that tone from him.
00:04:07So the man who stayed restrained and distant with me could lose control for another woman?
00:04:13Did you come up through the garage?
00:04:16Mm-hmm.
00:04:17I saw you on the phone, so I came back first.
00:04:20Did you hear who I was talking to?
00:04:22No.
00:04:23Wasn't it a client?
00:04:24Who else would it be?
00:04:26Not a client.
00:04:27I had new jewelry made for you for next week's charity gala.
00:04:30That was the jeweler.
00:04:32With me, you'll always shine brightest.
00:04:34After I was rescued, Adrian began hosting regular charity gala events through Hawthin Group.
00:04:41Every dollar raised went to the Leela Bennett Foundation.
00:04:45He wanted my name to help others who'd been through the same kind of pain.
00:04:51And he wanted me safe for the rest of my life.
00:04:55Adrian never believed in fate.
00:04:57But once, he was willing to go that far for me.
00:05:00Back then, it meant everything.
00:05:03Now, whatever you think is best.
00:05:08He thought he'd fooled me again.
00:05:10But once you've decided to leave for good, lies don't matter anymore.
00:05:15This has been passed down in the Hawthorne family to the future mistress of the house.
00:05:20Now I can finally give it to you.
00:05:22It's too important to take now.
00:05:25Please give it to me yourself on the wedding day.
00:05:29He had no idea the bride after that wedding wouldn't be me.
00:05:32He remembered my period.
00:05:34He remembered how much I hate the cold.
00:05:37If he'd already given his heart to someone else.
00:05:40How could he still be this tender with me?
00:05:43So even love like this can be faked.
00:05:46In bed, Adrian rubbed my stomach like he always had.
00:05:51I was getting sleepy, but I knew he just wanted me asleep so he could go to another woman.
00:05:58I felt Adrian pick up his phone.
00:06:00His breathing went heavier, and his hand tightened too.
00:06:02I gave him what he wanted.
00:06:03I let my breathing even out and pretended to be asleep.
00:06:06The second the door closed, I opened my eyes.
00:06:09Adrian thought I'd always stay and wait for him, no matter who he ran to.
00:06:12But in ten days, I'd be gone from his world for good.
00:06:16Something came up at the company last night.
00:06:18You were asleep, so I didn't wake you.
00:06:22At home, Adrian dressed like himself.
00:06:24Today, every button was done up.
00:06:27His concern was real.
00:06:28So was the lipstick mark on his chin.
00:06:31That was when I understood a man could give his love to one woman, and his desire to another.
00:06:35Don't touch me!
00:06:40Leela, did I do something wrong?
00:06:43No, I just thought of a story.
00:06:45A man failed the test of time.
00:06:47He betrayed the woman he loved, but couldn't let either one go.
00:06:51In the end, he lost everything.
00:06:54Adrian, would you become like him?
00:06:57No, Leela.
00:06:58You have to trust that I love you.
00:07:00I think when he finally lost everything, he'd remember the answer he gave in that moment.
00:07:07I'm sorry, Mrs. Bennett. That dress is already reserved.
00:07:10Call her. If she'll give it up, I'll buy her a new one.
00:07:13It's Mrs. Black.
00:07:16Looks like she and I have the same taste.
00:07:19Same taste in dresses.
00:07:20Same taste in jewelry.
00:07:22Even the same man.
00:07:24Adrian caught the meaning, and I chose another dress.
00:07:27Only then did he bury his reaction.
00:07:33The moment he saw me in it, he said what he always said.
00:07:37Leela, I must be the luckiest man alive.
00:07:42The old me would have been breathless.
00:07:44Now I was calm.
00:07:45If anything, I wanted to get away.
00:07:50Seven days? What's the countdown for?
00:07:53The wedding's in seven days. Did you forget?
00:07:58He didn't know I was never looking forward to marrying him.
00:08:01I was waiting for seven days from now, when I'd watch him lose me.
00:08:06At the gala, everyone praised how much Adrian loved me.
00:08:10If Mr. Hawthorne isn't number one at spoiling his wife, nobody in New York is.
00:08:15They said no couple in New York was better matched than we were.
00:08:19Any woman would envy me for having a man like him.
00:08:22They smiled and toasted our wedding.
00:08:25But I already knew plenty of them had seen him with Vanessa.
00:08:30Mr. Hawthorne, Miss Benny, long time no see.
00:08:34I had no interest in fake pleasantries, so I acted like she wasn't there.
00:08:39Miss Bennett, I'm sorry about last time.
00:08:42I had no choice.
00:08:43I had to take Mr. Hawthorne's arm and have him pretend to be my boyfriend in front of my family.
00:08:49But he turned me down right on the spot.
00:08:51And I have a boyfriend now.
00:08:54So, how about we just let bygones be bygones?
00:08:57There wasn't a shmed of remorse in her voice.
00:09:00Every word was a tonk.
00:09:03Adrian heard the smugness too.
00:09:05He told her to leave.
00:09:07Know your place. Lila doesn't want you here.
00:09:10Stay away from her.
00:09:13She doesn't. Some people do.
00:09:17He talked like he was protecting me, but his body told the truth.
00:09:22They flirted like I wasn't even there, so I left.
00:09:25Adrian came after me.
00:09:28Behind us, guests quickly crowded around Vanessa.
00:09:32Vanessa? Those earrings look expensive.
00:09:35Of course. They were a gift from my boyfriend.
00:09:40Those earrings look like they're from the same sapphires as Miss Bennett's jewelry to date.
00:09:46Your boyfriend didn't buy from the same rough stones as Mr. Hawthorne, did you?
00:09:52I stopped cold.
00:09:54So Adrian's custom-made gift came from the same stones he used for another woman.
00:10:00Just as I stepped into the restroom, Adrian's phone keeked.
00:10:05The small garden. I'll be waiting.
00:10:09With seven days left before the wedding, I finally saw his betrayal with my own eyes.
00:10:20Trying to tempt me again?
00:10:22Forgot you could barely get out of bed a few days ago?
00:10:25Adrian had been with me non-stop these past few days.
00:10:28I knew exactly which day he meant.
00:10:30I thought you'd been so busy with her, you'd forgotten all about me.
00:10:38There was no hesitation between them.
00:10:40They moved like they'd done this countless times.
00:10:43In the stillness of the garden, even their kisses reached my ears.
00:10:52You trying to get yourself killed?
00:10:54I told you. No marks where people can see them.
00:10:58What, scared she'll find out?
00:11:01If Leela sees it, she'll lose it.
00:11:03Then make up an excuse.
00:11:05She trusts you. She won't suspect a thing.
00:11:11I like you better when you're this rough in bed.
00:11:14You loved that maid Sufit last time, didn't you?
00:11:18Come tonight, I've got something new for you.
00:11:25He protected me with words, but his body told the truth.
00:11:29He hadn't stayed away from Vanessa because he wanted to end it.
00:11:34He just hadn't had the chance.
00:11:36I already knew they were sleeping together.
00:11:38Seeing it still hit harder than I imagined.
00:11:41My body went cold.
00:11:42My chest hurt so badly I could barely breathe.
00:11:45Only then did I understand.
00:11:47Adrian was never afraid of hurting me.
00:11:50He was afraid I'd learn the truth and ruin the fantasy he couldn't let go of.
00:11:59Where were you?
00:12:00I went for a walk in the garden.
00:12:02What happened to your lip?
00:12:05Dry air. It split a little. It's nothing.
00:12:08You went to the garden?
00:12:09Did you see anything?
00:12:11No.
00:12:15I'd fooled him again.
00:12:17He still hadn't noticed I no longer wanted to hold him back.
00:12:21On stage, Vanessa kept talking about Adrian's generosity.
00:12:25Her eyes were full of love.
00:12:27His were somewhere else.
00:12:29I'm tired.
00:12:30I want to go home.
00:12:33I'll go with you.
00:12:34Wait for me, okay?
00:12:36In that moment, he felt afraid.
00:12:39He just didn't know what he should have been afraid of.
00:12:44I told you to end it with Vanessa.
00:12:47You had Lila.
00:12:48Why risk all this for a cheap thrill?
00:12:50People are already talking.
00:12:52What happens when Lila finds out?
00:12:54I felt cold all over.
00:12:55So Eleanor had known all along.
00:12:57Somehow, this hurt even more than seeing Adrian Hawthorne with Vanessa Black that night.
00:13:01They all watched me being deceived, then praised Adrian to my face for loving me so much.
00:13:05All along, I was the only fool who must stick his betrayal for love.
00:13:09For that whole week, Adrian never left my side.
00:13:13But I wasn't walking away with nothing.
00:13:16For that whole week, Adrian never left my side.
00:13:19But I wasn't walking away with nothing.
00:13:21His phone and laptop were both still locked with my birthday.
00:13:25He trusted me never to doubt him.
00:13:27And in that moment, I found out just how much he'd been hiding from me.
00:13:32Adrian hadn't just married Vanessa at City Hall.
00:13:35He gave her the wedding portraits.
00:13:37Even the honeymoon.
00:13:42I gave the wedding planning firm the wedding portraits and all their intimate photos.
00:13:46Then had them redo the rest of the wedding details to match.
00:13:52When it was done, something in me felt hollow.
00:13:58Strange thing was, it didn't hurt as much as I thought it would.
00:14:05Maybe leaving was never the hardest part.
00:14:07Maybe the real pain was admitting everything I'd believed in was a lie.
00:14:16If you're okay, I should go.
00:14:17Miss Bennett, are you here for a pregnancy checkup too?
00:14:21No.
00:14:26Lila, I just ran into her. She wasn't feeling well, so I brought her in.
00:14:31I see.
00:14:32I'm a little over two months pregnant. With twins.
00:14:36Their father got a little rough last night, so I'm not feeling great.
00:14:39If you're okay, I should go.
00:14:44Lila, I'll take you home.
00:14:46I didn't know what Adrian was really afraid of.
00:14:48That I'd find out the babies Vanessa was carrying were his.
00:14:51Or that one more word from her would expose even more lies.
00:14:55I let Adrian lead me out like a puppet.
00:14:57He still didn't know I'd already seen his City Hall marriage certificate,
00:15:01the wedding portraits, the honeymoon photos.
00:15:03I already knew Vanessa was carrying his twins.
00:15:07I told Adrian once,
00:15:10if he ever betrayed me,
00:15:11I'd disappear so completely he'd never find me.
00:15:15I'll do as I said.
00:15:21And there was one more gift waiting for Adrian on the wedding day.
00:15:26On the way back, Adrian's phone kept lighting up.
00:15:30Adrian, come over tonight and help me pick out baby names, okay?
00:15:35Later. If Lila finds out about us, you won't want to deal with the fallout.
00:15:40He hadn't told Vanessa to get rid of the babies.
00:15:44He didn't mind that she was pregnant.
00:15:47A long time ago, Adrian told me he loved kids.
00:15:55I knew she was baiting me, but I still agreed.
00:15:58As soon as the follow request went through, her DM came in.
00:16:02Aren't you curious who the father of my babies is?
00:16:04Don't tell me you're too blind to see how Adrian feels about me.
00:16:08She wanted me hysterical, demanding answers.
00:16:11But I already knew.
00:16:12I'd already decided to leave.
00:16:14I didn't need an explanation from anyone.
00:16:17I'm the one Adrian married at City Hall.
00:16:19I'm his legal wife.
00:16:21Unless I agree to a divorce, you'll always come second to me.
00:16:24Unless I agree to a divorce, you'll always come second to me.
00:16:28He makes time for me almost every day.
00:16:31And that gown at the charity gala?
00:16:33He spent a fortune having it made for me.
00:16:35A boring woman like you could never understand how much he wants me.
00:16:39What he really likes is a woman who's uninhibited in bed.
00:16:43What are you looking at so hard?
00:16:47Nothing.
00:16:49My calm only made him more uneasy.
00:16:51It should have.
00:16:54He had no idea some things were already slipping out of his control.
00:16:58For days, Adrian hid behind Hawthorne Group business and never came home.
00:17:03I didn't ask where he was.
00:17:06Vanessa made sure I saw every moment he spent with her and the babies.
00:17:12Adrian's been with me these past few days.
00:17:14Do you think he'll leave you at the altar for me and our babies?
00:17:24With Adrian gone, it was easier.
00:17:27I cleared out everything that was mine and watched every trace of us disappear.
00:17:34On the wedding day, someone was going to run.
00:17:37It wasn't Adrian.
00:17:39It was me.
00:17:47Why is so much stuff gone?
00:17:48I cleared out some stuff we didn't need. We'll get new things after the wedding.
00:17:55I had our first photo restored.
00:17:58Look, doesn't it look exactly the same?
00:18:00Vanessa's dog tore up the original.
00:18:01She bragged about it like it proved Adrian chose her.
00:18:04He fixed the photo, but not us.
00:18:07I want your spaghetti bolognese.
00:18:08Have dinner with me tonight.
00:18:11After he saved me, I was starving.
00:18:15I ate two plates of pasta.
00:18:18Then Adrian spent a month learning that recipe for me.
00:18:22Tonight was our ending.
00:18:26Leela, something urgent came up at the company.
00:18:29Go ahead. We'll have plenty of time.
00:18:35Thank you for understanding.
00:18:39I might be tied up late tonight, so don't wait up.
00:18:43I can't wait to see you in your wedding dress tomorrow.
00:18:47I can't wait either.
00:18:50It wasn't just love that changed.
00:18:53He's with me the night before your wedding.
00:18:55What are you even competing with?
00:18:58So did habits.
00:18:59So did taste.
00:19:01This was our last supper, and Adrian still left me for Vanessa.
00:19:06Again.
00:19:21On my wedding day, I woke up before 7 o'clock.
00:19:25I'd already shipped everything out days earlier.
00:19:28All I had left was the luggage I needed to carry with me.
00:19:33The custom wedding rings Adrian and I ordered would reach Vanessa right on time.
00:19:39I could at least make sure she had everything.
00:19:42If she wanted to be the bride that badly,
00:19:45I took one last look at the place I'd once called home.
00:19:49My clothes, books, and photos were gone.
00:19:53Only Adrian was left behind.
00:19:55The 15-day wedding countdown had finally hit zero.
00:19:59Adrian once promised that if he betrayed me,
00:20:01he'd let me go.
00:20:03Let me disappear from his world for good.
00:20:06Today, I was here to make sure he kept that promise.
00:20:12At that same moment, Adrian was waking up in Vanessa's bed.
00:20:16The night before, she'd pulled him away from our last dinner together,
00:20:20crying that she'd fallen and her stomach hurt.
00:20:25He knew it was just a poi for attention.
00:20:28He stayed anyway.
00:20:42Leela, I can't wait to see you.
00:20:49Me too.
00:20:50I hope you like the surprise I have for you after the wedding begins.
00:20:59He thought I was looking forward to the wedding as much as he was.
00:21:04He had no idea we were waiting for two very different things.
00:21:19Adrian thought I was on my way to the wedding.
00:21:21But while he waited for his bride, my plane was already leaving New York.
00:21:29Leela and I grew up together.
00:21:32She's the most important person in my life.
00:21:36The only woman I want to spend forever with.
00:21:40In front of everyone, he relived our past and declared his love for me.
00:21:45Every word felt heartbreakingly sincere, as if he hadn't climbed out of another woman's bed that morning.
00:21:54Leela, I'll spend the rest of my life proving how much I love you.
00:21:59Will you stay with me for the rest of our lives?
00:22:06And then he finally got the wedding surprise.
00:22:09I planned for him.
00:22:11Do you like it, Adrian?
00:22:16The second Adrian saw the bride's face, every trace of happiness vanished.
00:22:21In its place was panic, raw enough that even he couldn't hold it down.
00:22:26Why are you here?
00:22:28Where's Leela?
00:22:30Adrian, what are you talking about?
00:22:32We already got married at City Hall.
00:22:35I should be the bride.
00:22:37Everyone's watching, so stop.
00:22:41Then he saw the ring.
00:22:42He'd had it made for me.
00:22:43And I'd handed it over intact to his legal wife.
00:22:49Ow! Adrian, you're hurting me!
00:22:52Why is Vanessa the bride?
00:22:54Wasn't Adrian supposed to marry Leela?
00:23:01Adrian, calm down.
00:23:03Whatever this is, it can wait until after the wedding.
00:23:06Everyone told him to calm down.
00:23:08He searched the whole room for me and found nothing.
00:23:13Then he finally noticed the screen behind him.
00:23:18The screen wasn't showing our wedding portraits anymore.
00:23:22It was playing the set Vanessa had talked him into taking.
00:23:25My name, my photos, my dress, my ring, everything had been replaced with Vanessa's.
00:23:32Only then did Adrian understand what my surprise really was.
00:23:39Leela ran out on the wedding, but you still have me.
00:23:43And the babies.
00:23:47Adrian, let's finish the wedding.
00:23:50I'm your wife.
00:23:52Finish the ceremony.
00:23:54And we can be a real family with our babies.
00:24:01Get out.
00:24:03Vanessa thought once I was gone, she could finally take my place.
00:24:06What she forgot was that Adrian never wanted just one woman.
00:24:09He wanted both of us.
00:24:14Leela and I were in love.
00:24:16She wouldn't just walk out on our wedding for no reason.
00:24:19What did you say to her?
00:24:21I didn't do anything.
00:24:23She just doesn't want you anymore.
00:24:26This is my wedding to Leela.
00:24:29Even if she didn't show up, you don't get to stand here.
00:24:36My babies.
00:24:37Adrian, my stomach hurts.
00:24:39Save our babies.
00:24:40Vanessa lay in a pool of blood calling for him and the babies.
00:24:43But Adrian never even looked back.
00:24:45Even then, he still refused to believe I'd really left him.
00:24:49Leela's just messing with me.
00:24:55He turned a one-hour drive into 30 minutes, telling himself over and over I hadn't run out on our
00:25:01wedding.
00:25:03I was home, waiting for him to come back for me.
00:25:09Leela!
00:25:15But all he found was an apartment I'd emptied out.
00:25:22Leela, come out!
00:25:24Adrian searched every room, every corner.
00:25:28He kept calling my name, his voice growing Harris, but no one answered.
00:25:34Leela, come on. This isn't funny, okay?
00:25:39We still have a wedding to get to.
00:25:41My clothes, books, jewelry, everything was gone.
00:25:46Anything that proved I'd ever lived there had been wiped clean.
00:25:50Our matching things, anniversary gifts, even the photos were gone.
00:25:57That's when Adrian finally realized I hadn't just stormed out.
00:26:01I'd already decided to disappear from his life for good.
00:26:10The spaghetti bolognese he'd made the night before was still on the table.
00:26:14It used to be my favorite.
00:26:17It was the last meal I ever planned to share with him.
00:26:22He'd worked so hard to fix that photo.
00:26:25I tore it in half again.
00:26:27I took my half and left him with only himself.
00:26:30A photo can be fixed.
00:26:34I didn't give us that chance.
00:26:35I'll see you later.
00:26:42Why?
00:26:44Leela?
00:26:47Adrian, did you find Lila?
00:26:50Lila's gone.
00:26:55C'est sûr qu'il savait.
00:26:57Adrien pensait qu'il était capable enough
00:26:59pour me garder à l'aise et garder Vanessa pour le bon.
00:27:07Pourquoi ne vous dit que Vanessa était mariée ?
00:27:09Et quand exactement vous avez marié à la ville ?
00:27:12Ne me dit que vous ne pouvez pas voir
00:27:14sur les petits petits trucs.
00:27:16Vous connaissez exactement ce qu'elle voulait,
00:27:18donc pourquoi vous gardez ça ?
00:27:20Léla n'aurait jamais voulu laisser quelque chose comme ça slide.
00:27:24Elle devait avoir trouvé sur vous et Vanessa.
00:27:27Je t'ai essayé de donner le bracelet early,
00:27:29mais elle a insisté en avoir le cas d'un jour de l'aise.
00:27:35Adrien est finalement réclamé les deux semaines.
00:27:38Je n'ai pas demandé où il était,
00:27:41j'ai pas fait battre Vanessa.
00:27:43Je n'ai même pas le cas de l'aise sur lui.
00:27:47Le night avant l'aise,
00:27:48il s'est passé dans le cas de la maison.
00:27:53Il se voit comment il s'est déjà mis en place.
00:27:53Et il s'est pas cher.
00:27:55Il s'est passé dans le cas de l'aise,
00:27:57il s'est passé dans le cas de l'aise,
00:28:04et il s'est passé dans le cas de l'aise.
00:28:10Mais il s'est passé dans le cas de Vanessa.
00:30:38He finally understood that the secret he thought was foolproof was never going to stay buried forever.
00:30:45But some mistakes don't disappear just because you're sorry.
00:30:51Vanessa's children are stable for now.
00:30:54So your father and I decided to keep her here for the time being.
00:31:00No.
00:31:03Leela has already left without telling you, which means there's no way to turn this around. You and Vanessa registered
00:31:08your marriage and she's also pregnant with your child. So stop looking for Leela.
00:31:22Eleanor wanted him to accept Vanessa and the child, but Adrian refused to believe I'd already given up on him.
00:31:30He assumed I'd only blocked his number and not Eleanor's too.
00:31:36Hello?
00:31:43Leela, it's me.
00:31:45The second I heard his voice, I hung up. Once I decided to leave, I wasn't listening to one more
00:31:52apology that came too late.
00:31:58Adrian!
00:32:01She answered. She'll still take your calls.
00:32:04My resolve didn't make him give up. Instead, it made him even more certain that Sophie must know where I
00:32:10went.
00:32:12Send people to follow Sophie. I need to know who she meets and who she contacts.
00:32:16Also contact the private investigation team and check Leela's credit cards, flight records and train bookings for today.
00:32:20The moment you find anything, tell me at once.
00:32:31To find me, Adrian didn't just use Hawthorne Group's private investigative team. He mobilized the family's entire network in New
00:32:38York.
00:32:39The wedding scandal was spreading across New York. It could damage Hawthorne Group and the family business.
00:32:46But he didn't care. He only wanted to know where I'd gone.
00:32:51Mr. Hawthorne, the world's a big place.
00:32:55If Ms. Bennett wants to stay hidden, then search the whole world.
00:33:06I will find her.
00:33:08New York sees too many flights and trains to count.
00:33:12It still took the private investigative team days to find the bookings tied to me on our wedding day.
00:33:18Ms. Bennett bought nearly 20 plane and train tickets.
00:33:21They lead to over a dozen U.S. cities and six other countries.
00:33:25Some overlapped. Some went in opposite directions.
00:33:28That's when Adrian realized I'd laid nearly 20 false trails so he wouldn't find me.
00:33:32Check every location.
00:33:34Airports, stations, hotels, surveillance footage. Verify all of it.
00:33:38He crossed off one place after another.
00:33:44But finding someone determined to vanish is like chasing one face through a crowd.
00:33:50In the five days after the wedding, he slept less than five hours.
00:33:55Every other minute went to finding me.
00:34:03Mr. Hawthorne?
00:34:07He'd been unconscious from exhaustion for a full day.
00:34:16The second he woke up, he ripped out the IV and went looking for me again.
00:34:24Adrian, Mom said you haven't slept in days.
00:34:27Get your strength back first or I'm gonna worry.
00:34:32Not until she said mom did Adrian realize Vanessa had been in his room the whole time.
00:34:39Mom was with me yesterday, picking names for our twins.
00:34:47We're already married at City Hall and I'm pregnant with your child.
00:34:52Everyone at the wedding saw it.
00:34:54Your mother has already accepted me.
00:34:59Know your place.
00:35:02You don't get to call her mom.
00:35:07But I'm carrying a Hawthorne baby.
00:35:09Adrian, we're the real family now.
00:35:17Vanella kept pointing to the marriage certificate and the baby.
00:35:22Legally, they were the married couple.
00:35:24But every word only reminded Adrian why I'd left him.
00:35:29Adrian, let go of me.
00:35:35Adrian, have you lost your mind?
00:35:38She's pregnant.
00:35:46Why were you the one who walked in that day?
00:35:52And why did you have Lisa's wedding ring?
00:35:54For days, all he could think about was finding me.
00:36:00Seeing Vanessa again brought back every question from the wedding that still didn't have an answer.
00:36:07After you left, a package came for me. The rings were inside.
00:36:13Then the wedding planning firm called and told me to put on the dress and go to the venue.
00:36:19I thought you changed your mind. That it was a surprise.
00:36:26And you didn't ask why they were suddenly changing the bride?
00:36:31All I could think about was taking Lila's place and marrying you.
00:36:35I wasn't thinking about anything else.
00:36:40This is Adrian Hawthorne.
00:36:44I want to know exactly when Lila told you to switch the bride.
00:36:52Mr. Hawthorne, this was 15 days before the wedding.
00:36:56Ms. Benny came to our firm in person and told us to keep everything the same except change the bride
00:37:02to Ms. Black.
00:37:04After that, Ms. Benny personally gave us the photos, names, and the rest of the wedding materials.
00:37:11He finally understood.
00:37:13I decided to leave on the first day of that countdown.
00:37:16Every gala, every kindness, every wedding detail after that was just my final goodbye.
00:37:33Fifteen days?
00:37:39After all those years, how could she just throw it away?
00:37:45He couldn't understand how I could leave so coldly.
00:37:50But I was never the one who gave up on us first.
00:37:57If he hadn't given in to Vanessa and crushed my trust, I never would have spent those fifteen days erasing
00:38:04myself from his world.
00:38:08Adrian!
00:38:17Mr. Hawthorne, we got a lead from Mrs. Reed.
00:38:20Based on the photo background, Ms. Bennett is likely in Anchorage, Alaska.
00:38:26The photo was so blurry you could barely make out a face.
00:38:30Still, like a man clinging to his last hope, he knew it was me instantly.
00:38:38Book the first flight to Anchorage.
00:38:40I'm going to find her myself.
00:38:44Three hours later, he was on a flight to Anchorage.
00:38:49The second he landed nearly eight hours later, he went straight to the place in the photo.
00:38:56He kept asking around the bay, and the streets from that photo, until he found the family run-in where
00:39:02I'd stayed.
00:39:07She was staying here, right?
00:39:10Yeah, but she just checked out.
00:39:13He finally found the right place.
00:39:16But he was too late.
00:39:20The room hadn't even been cleaned yet.
00:39:22I was already gone.
00:39:27In the bathroom, he found a hair clip I'd forgotten.
00:39:32It was the only proof I'd ever been there.
00:39:38After I left, he reprinted our old photos.
00:39:43He bought back everything I'd taken.
00:39:48It was the only way he could pretend I'd only gone away for a while.
00:39:58Leela, why won't you even see me?
00:40:04Adrian thought he could trace my flights and travel records like he did in New York.
00:40:10But this wasn't a place the Hawthorne family could just pull information from.
00:40:16Daniel still couldn't find where I'd gone.
00:40:18And the people he sent almost got detained as security threats.
00:40:23He stayed in Anchorage for two days.
00:40:26Still found nothing.
00:40:28In the end, he had to go back to New York.
00:40:33What he didn't know was, I'd already left Anchorage.
00:40:40Other than that hair clip, I left him nothing to follow.
00:40:44Even after Adrian left Anchorage, he didn't stop.
00:40:48He had Sophia followed again and tracked down everyone who knew me.
00:40:54Chasing every lead he could.
00:41:00It kept snowballing.
00:41:01More and more people were trying to find out where I was.
00:41:07No matter who asked, my answer was the same.
00:41:09No comment.
00:41:10That didn't stop them.
00:41:11It just made them more curious about what happened between us.
00:41:13Finally, I'd had enough.
00:41:14I unblocked Adrian myself.
00:41:15I sent him everything I had.
00:41:16His City Hall marriage certificate with Vanessa Black.
00:41:18The wedding portraits.
00:41:19The honeymoon records.
00:41:20Every scrap of proof they'd been carrying on behind my back.
00:41:22I sent that too.
00:41:22Every taunting DM Vanessa sent me after the hospital.
00:41:24And every intimate photo.
00:41:25I wasn't trying to prove how badly he'd hurt me.
00:41:27I just wanted him to know I saw the whole truth.
00:41:29And I'd never forgive him.
00:41:35After all that, I left the little Alaska beach town I'd been hiding out in for the past few days
00:41:40and boarded a flight to Paris.
00:41:44Back in New York, when Adrian saw I'd messaged him first, he didn't even open the file.
00:41:50He thought I'd finally forgiven him.
00:42:00He didn't even read what I'd sent.
00:42:03He saw my name and took it as proof I was ready to go back to him.
00:42:08Message after message disappeared into silence.
00:42:11The first rush wore off.
00:42:13And he started waiting for my reply.
00:42:15One hour.
00:42:17Then two.
00:42:19He waited from morning to night.
00:42:21I never replied.
00:42:23And those short apologies turned into endless paragraphs.
00:42:27I hurt you.
00:42:29I know that now.
00:42:30Just come back.
00:42:33And I'll spend the rest of my life making it right.
00:42:38Lila, don't ignore me.
00:42:39Punish me any way you want.
00:42:46He waited all day, clutching his phone.
00:42:51Only after the screen shattered did he finally open the files I sent.
00:42:55For the first time, he saw that other marriage through my eyes.
00:43:04The city hall marriage, the wedding portraits, the honeymoon, every last part of it.
00:43:13He finally saw how every gift, every moment, every touch he gave Vanessa had been laid out in front of
00:43:19me like a knife.
00:43:24Only then did he begin to imagine what it cost me to know everything.
00:43:30And still spend those last two weeks by his side.
00:43:35Swallowing my disgust.
00:43:39If I'd done any of that with another man, Adrian would have gone insane.
00:43:43But back then, he really thought I'd never find out.
00:43:53If she hadn't taunt you on purpose, you wouldn't have walked away for good.
00:44:02Lila, I'll make her pay.
00:44:07He finally saw his own betrayal, but he still refused to bear it alone.
00:44:12So he turned all his rage over losing me on Vanessa instead.
00:44:16He'd taken that road countless times.
00:44:18While I was asleep, he was on his way to Vanessa.
00:44:25Mr. Hawthorne, Mrs. Black is showering.
00:44:30Every other time, he came to her out of desire.
00:44:34Tonight, he came with enough hate to destroy Vanessa.
00:44:38Adrian, what are you doing here this late?
00:44:45Vanessa thought Adrian Hawthorne had finally remembered her.
00:44:50She went after him the way she always did.
00:44:53Never seeing that all he felt now was disgust.
00:44:58Vanessa was never subtle.
00:45:01Adrian always knew she was after the Hawthorne family's money and status.
00:45:06What we had had grown dull by routine.
00:45:15Vanessa gave him the thrill he started craving.
00:45:19Maybe he felt guilty the first time.
00:45:25I trusted him too much.
00:45:27And one time became countless times.
00:45:32I warned you.
00:45:36Lila was never supposed to find out about us.
00:45:40The second she heard that, she knew.
00:45:43The evidence I sent Adrian had exposed everything she'd done.
00:45:47What are you talking about?
00:45:50I never contacted Lila.
00:45:52She must have heard it from someone else.
00:45:59Vanessa had already deleted the messages.
00:46:02She'd even unfollowed me.
00:46:03The page was blank, like she'd never sent me anything.
00:46:07See?
00:46:08I never contacted her.
00:46:13You think deleting the messages makes me believe you?
00:46:16What she didn't know was that I'd saved every message and photo she used to humiliate me.
00:46:21Then sent them all to Adrian.
00:46:26Adrian, let me stand up. I'm pregnant with your babies.
00:46:31I was jealous of Lila.
00:46:33I couldn't stand watching you marry someone else.
00:46:38I did it because I loved you.
00:46:41Adrian, please forgive me.
00:46:44I'm pregnant with our babies.
00:46:46She called her taunts, lies, and scheming love.
00:46:50She thought bringing up the twins would make Adrian loosen his grip.
00:46:55I gave you the money and the life you wanted.
00:46:59But you wanted more.
00:47:01You had to drive Lila away and take her place.
00:47:06Vanessa thought she'd finally won.
00:47:08But once she drove me away, Adrian blamed her for losing me.
00:47:13Call Mrs. Hawthorne, now!
00:47:19Your parents accepted the babies I'm carrying.
00:47:22You can't do this to me.
00:47:27Lila's gone.
00:47:28What gives you the right to carry my children?
00:47:36She tumbled down the stairs.
00:47:39Even with both hands over her stomach,
00:47:41blood quickly soaked through the towel around her.
00:47:46My babies!
00:47:48Save my babies!
00:47:53The bleeding on the wedding day had only been a scare.
00:47:57This time, Vanessa could feel both lives inside her slipping away.
00:48:01Adrian, you're a coward!
00:48:03Leila left, and you dumped all of it on me.
00:48:07But before I ever contacted her, she already knew you were cheating!
00:48:15You couldn't control yourself.
00:48:17You kept saying you loved her, but you kept crawling into my bed.
00:48:23She made me the bride to get back at you.
00:48:27You're the one who drove her away.
00:48:32You killed your own children.
00:48:37She hit the truth Adrian most wanted to deny.
00:48:40Even then, he still refused to admit that he was the one responsible for all of it.
00:48:45Not long after the nanny called, the ambulance got there.
00:48:49Then Eleanor and Richard.
00:48:51Vanessa's blood covered the stairs and the floor.
00:49:00You bastard!
00:49:01Haven't you caused enough damage already?
00:49:04Were you trying to get Vanessa and both babies killed too?
00:49:09A woman I kept on the side thinks she can take Leila's place?
00:49:18Adrian felt no remorse.
00:49:21He actually believed Vanessa and the babies were the last obstacle keeping me from going back.
00:49:27Leila won't forgive me because of the babies.
00:49:32Now that they're gone, she'll get over it.
00:49:36We couldn't save either baby.
00:49:42She lost too much blood, and there was damage during surgery.
00:49:48She may never be able to have children.
00:49:50Neither baby survived.
00:49:52Worse, Vanessa may never be able to have children again.
00:50:00I'm calling the police!
00:50:02Adrian pushed me down the stairs!
00:50:04I'm gonna make sure he goes to prison!
00:50:12Vanessa screamed for the police.
00:50:15Eleanor stayed behind to handle this trouble that could destroy the Hawthorne family.
00:50:21As for what conditions she used to make Vanessa stay silent, Adrian didn't care at all.
00:50:28Where are you going?
00:50:30Home.
00:50:33I'm going to wait for Leila to come back.
00:50:36Even then, he still believed that if Vanessa and the babies were gone,
00:50:40I'd forget everything he'd done and go back to him.
00:50:44Adrian moved back into that apartment.
00:50:48Everything I took with me, our photos, our things, the decor, he bought back from memory.
00:50:56On the surface, nothing had changed.
00:51:00But every piece was a replica.
00:51:02And nothing in that room still felt like me.
00:51:08Leila, I made your favorite pasta.
00:51:12I dealt with Vanessa for you today.
00:51:14The babies are gone.
00:51:17So when are you done being angry?
00:51:19When are you coming back?
00:51:23He told an empty chair he'd gotten revenge for me.
00:51:26Even then, he still didn't understand.
00:51:28I never asked him to hurt Vanessa.
00:51:30And I never wanted justice at the cost of two babies.
00:51:33He tried to numb himself with alcohol,
00:51:36as if getting drunk enough could spare him the truth that I was never coming back.
00:51:41All the care he used to take for granted had become a past.
00:51:44He could only touch through a shattered screen.
00:51:47But one more scroll, and he'd see it again.
00:51:49What I saw when I learned the truth, and the humiliation I was forced to endure.
00:51:54After I left, except for that one collapse, he never slept peacefully again.
00:51:57He could restore that home to what it was.
00:51:59But it wouldn't change the truth. None of it was real.
00:52:05When Adrian woke up, it was already the next afternoon.
00:52:10In the brutal summer heat, the pasta and stale liquor had turned.
00:52:16The whole apartment reefed.
00:52:19And he acted like he couldn't smell a thing.
00:52:22And the days just kept passing.
00:52:25He never heard a word from me.
00:52:29In a little over a month, a man who'd always kept himself in check,
00:52:33was drowning in cigarettes and alcohol.
00:52:38Eleanor tried again and again to pull him out of it.
00:52:42In the end, she brought in a therapist.
00:52:45Adrian wouldn't talk, wouldn't cooperate, and nothing worked.
00:52:52Once he was drunk out of his mind.
00:52:55Leela, you hated it when I drank and smoked.
00:53:00So why won't you come back and stop me?
00:53:07He started seeing me in front of him again.
00:53:09The face looked like mine, but it wasn't me.
00:53:13Adrian, why'd you drink so much again?
00:53:16He knew it felt like a dream.
00:53:22Leela, it's really you.
00:53:24But he didn't want to wake up.
00:53:29I've been looking for you.
00:53:31You finally came back to me.
00:53:33You're exhausted.
00:53:35Go get some rest.
00:53:36I'm not going anywhere.
00:53:39If the woman in his arms was me,
00:53:41he'd believe it, even as a hallucination.
00:53:45But just before he crossed that last line,
00:53:48he finally saw the truth.
00:53:52The face looked like mine.
00:53:55But it wasn't me.
00:53:59Who are you?
00:54:01Where's Leela?
00:54:05What did you do to her?
00:54:13The girl Adrian mistook for me was Emily Bennett,
00:54:17my half-sister.
00:54:19Three years younger,
00:54:20and just enough like me to fool him.
00:54:24Charles betrayed my mother, Margaret, long before she died.
00:54:28Emily was the child of that affair.
00:54:31Eleanor couldn't stand watching Adrian destroy himself over me.
00:54:36So she cut a deal with the Bennett family,
00:54:39and sent Emily in to make him forget me.
00:54:42You're Leela's sister.
00:54:45Call her.
00:54:47Bring her back, and I'll give you anything you want.
00:54:50Why are you even looking for trash that her own family threw away?
00:54:56No one talks about Leela like that.
00:54:58One more word, and I'll kill you.
00:55:05Leela, it's Emily.
00:55:07Dad's critically ill.
00:55:08He wants to see you.
00:55:11It had been so long, I'd almost forgotten I even had a father and a half-sister.
00:55:17Whether Charles lived or died had nothing to do with me anymore.
00:55:22I have nothing to do with the Bennett family anymore.
00:55:25Don't call me about them again.
00:55:29No wonder Dad didn't want you.
00:55:32You deserve to be abandoned by him.
00:55:35And by Adrian.
00:55:38Adrian told you to make this call, didn't he?
00:55:41So what if he did?
00:55:47The second I heard Adrian's name, I knew it was a pathetic setup.
00:55:51I wasn't about to play along.
00:55:56Leela, I never meant to leave you.
00:56:03He only managed to say that before passing out from too much blood loss.
00:56:07Adrian had been unconscious for two full days.
00:56:10Leela?
00:56:13Even then, he kept murmuring my name in his sleep.
00:56:16It's just a subconscious response.
00:56:18He isn't really awake yet.
00:56:19Adrian, wake up and I'll beg Leela to come see you.
00:56:22But if you don't, you'll never see her again.
00:56:26Mom, I want to see Leela.
00:56:28Maybe those words, you'll never see her again, brought him back.
00:56:31The second he woke up, he told Eleanor to call me.
00:56:35Eleanor kept calling.
00:56:41I finally answered, but I couldn't talk to her the way I used to.
00:56:45What is it?
00:56:47Leela, please, don't hang up yet.
00:56:53Since you left, Adrian's been looking for you.
00:56:56He hurt you.
00:56:57He knows that now.
00:56:59Can you give him one more chance?
00:57:02Or at least come see him?
00:57:05It had been almost three months since I left New York.
00:57:08After drifting for a while, I ended up in Paris, and I liked my life there.
00:57:13But Adrian never stopped looking for me.
00:57:17To keep him from finding me, I couldn't post anything online or let my friends mention where I was.
00:57:24I couldn't keep hiding forever.
00:57:26Some things had to be said face to face if I wanted him to stop.
00:57:30I'll be back in New York in a week.
00:57:32I'll contact you then.
00:57:41Leela's coming back?
00:57:46I can't let her see me like this.
00:57:51Get Daniel here.
00:57:53I want tests done now.
00:57:56He thought if I'd agreed to see him, we still had a chance.
00:58:00But I was only going back to end it myself.
00:58:03The hope of seeing me again was enough.
00:58:07This time, no one had to force Adrian into treatment.
00:58:11Three days later, he checked himself out against medical advice.
00:58:16After that, he had the greenhouse expanded day and night.
00:58:20He brought in hundreds of pear trees.
00:58:24And kept the blossoms alive through the summer by controlling the temperature.
00:58:29He even had a new ring made.
00:58:34He was going to propose again when he saw me.
00:58:37Adrian chose the greenhouse on purpose.
00:58:41He thought if he could recreate where our love began, I'd remember everything.
00:58:49He waited all morning.
00:58:51It was past noon when I finally walked into the greenhouse.
00:58:58The second I walked in, I saw the pear trees he'd had brought in.
00:59:03It was the middle of summer, but every branch was in bloom and white petals covered the floor.
00:59:11Lila.
00:59:13Lila.
00:59:15I said yes to him in pear blossom season.
00:59:20Adrian must have thought the same scene would make me come back to him.
00:59:24I'd already guessed from Ellador's tears.
00:59:27But seeing him still caught me off guard.
00:59:31In just three months, he'd gotten so thin his suit barely hung on him.
00:59:37But I felt nothing.
00:59:39Whatever he's suffering now, doesn't undo what he did to me.
00:59:45Say what you need to say. Quickly.
00:59:50After today, stay out of my life.
00:59:53He'd probably rehearsed a hundred things for this moment.
00:59:58But when he finally saw me, all he could say was that he missed me.
01:00:03He was sorry, and he wanted me back.
01:00:09Lila, I really miss you.
01:00:14I'm done with Vanessa. Completely.
01:00:16And the babies are gone, so no one can come between us anymore.
01:00:22He took Vanessa's loss of those two babies as proof he'd changed.
01:00:27But I never asked him to hurt anyone.
01:00:30And I didn't need someone else's pain to earn my forgiveness.
01:00:34You think I left just because of Vanessa and the babies?
01:00:37I know I was wrong.
01:00:39It was a momentary thrill.
01:00:41It meant nothing compared to what we had.
01:00:46Just come back. We'll do the wedding over.
01:00:50The marriage certificate, the ring, the dress.
01:00:55Whatever you want, I'll get it all again.
01:00:58I swear I'll never betray you again.
01:01:01He sounded completely sincere.
01:01:03Like another wedding could somehow restore the trust he'd torn apart.
01:01:08Adrian, if I hadn't found out about you two,
01:01:13if I hadn't disappeared from the wedding,
01:01:16would you really have ended things with Vanessa on your own?
01:01:21Would you still believe betraying me was wrong?
01:01:24I would have.
01:01:28Even if you hadn't left, I would have ended it with her sooner or later.
01:01:32He answered too quickly, and he still couldn't meet my eyes.
01:01:36After all these years, I know better than anyone when he's lying.
01:01:39No, you wouldn't.
01:01:41If I hadn't found out,
01:01:43he would have hidden Vanessa better,
01:01:45covered his tracks,
01:01:46and kept playing the loving fiancé.
01:01:50You don't regret betraying me.
01:01:54You regret getting caught.
01:01:56You don't get to condemn me for something that never happened.
01:01:59But you did betray me.
01:02:03The city hall marriage,
01:02:04the wedding portraits,
01:02:06the honeymoon,
01:02:07the two babies.
01:02:08You chose every one of them.
01:02:15I didn't come back to New York to measure his regret.
01:02:18I came back to tell him,
01:02:19to his face,
01:02:21that we were over.
01:02:31I don't accept this.
01:02:34I can make you stay.
01:02:35You're not going anywhere without my permission.
01:02:38Adrian,
01:02:38all your power still doesn't give you the right to hold me here.
01:02:42Mr. Hawthorne,
01:02:44please let go of my girlfriend.
01:02:46Who are you?
01:02:47Julian Laurent.
01:02:52Lila's boyfriend.
01:02:58No.
01:02:59That's impossible.
01:03:01How long has it been since you left me?
01:03:03How could you already love someone else?
01:03:05Why not?
01:03:10Lila.
01:03:12This is just revenge, isn't it?
01:03:14You brought him here to hurt me.
01:03:16He'd rather believe Julian was just someone I brought in to hurt him than face the truth.
01:03:21I'd really moved on.
01:03:27I don't need to use my feelings to get back at you.
01:03:31I'm with Julian because I like him.
01:03:37Adrian brought in hundreds of pear trees,
01:03:40hoping I'd love him again.
01:03:42But pear blossoms in summer,
01:03:44like us,
01:03:46were only an illusion kept alive by force.
01:03:51You said you'd only ever love me.
01:03:54Before you betrayed me.
01:04:08Lila.
01:04:09You've only been gone from New York for three months, and you already have a new boyfriend?
01:04:16He almost died looking for you.
01:04:19You knew he couldn't let you go.
01:04:21So why bring another man back just to provoke him?
01:04:24She was grieving for her son,
01:04:26as if she'd forgotten that three months ago I stood right beside Adrian and watched him claim another wife and
01:04:31two children.
01:04:32So I'm cruel for moving on?
01:04:35Then what was Adrian marrying Vanessa at City Hall while he was planning our wedding?
01:04:43You knew about them all along and you helped him keep it from me.
01:04:46So what right do you have to ask me to answer for his regret?
01:04:49He made one terrible mistake.
01:04:53Does everything you had together really count for less than that?
01:04:57To you it was one mistake.
01:04:58To me it was betrayal over and over again.
01:05:04I once thought the Hawthorne family was my home.
01:05:08I truly saw Eleanor as a mother.
01:05:12But when the betrayal came,
01:05:14they protected Adrian first.
01:05:17Every time.
01:05:21I never looked back.
01:05:23That day, I didn't just leave Adrian.
01:05:26I left the Hawthorne family for good.
01:05:30Julian and I didn't get together to get back at Adrian.
01:05:34When I first got to Paris,
01:05:37I rented an apartment through a broker.
01:05:41After I paid the deposit,
01:05:44I found out he didn't even own the place.
01:05:48Julian lived nearby.
01:05:52He realized I'd been scammed.
01:05:56Helped me report it.
01:06:00And get my deposit back.
01:06:03Then found me an apartment.
01:06:05I could actually move into.
01:06:11After that, we went from neighbors,
01:06:13who ran into each other now and then,
01:06:15to friends.
01:06:17He knew I was from New York.
01:06:20But he never asked why I'd left.
01:06:23Or tried to dig into a past that was already over.
01:06:27He respected my silence.
01:06:29And when I needed him, he was there.
01:06:33With him, there was no probing, no lies, no secrets.
01:06:38Little by little, I let my guard down.
01:06:41When he told me how he felt.
01:06:45Lila, I like you.
01:06:48For the first time,
01:06:51I didn't shut the door on something new,
01:06:53because of what I'd been through.
01:07:00I used to think that because Adrian saved me and grew up with me,
01:07:03he'd love me forever.
01:07:05But love isn't a contract.
01:07:09What we had was real.
01:07:11So does the betrayal.
01:07:14I don't have to deny the past.
01:07:16And I won't let it close me off to what's next.
01:07:23If you're not ready, I'll keep waiting.
01:07:25You don't have to wait anymore.
01:07:33Let's try.
01:07:34Leaving Adrian doesn't mean I stopped believing in love.
01:07:41If anything, it taught me real love can't be built on lies and betrayal.
01:07:46I was strong enough to walk away from a love that had already rotted.
01:07:52I'm strong enough to accept someone's honest heart now.
01:07:58After I got back to Paris, Adrian landed in the hospital again.
01:08:03When he woke up, he shut everyone out.
01:08:12How long are you going to keep destroying yourself over a woman who doesn't want you anymore?
01:08:19The wedding scandal hit Hawthorne Group hard.
01:08:22Worse, rival Mafia factions moved in on the Hawthorne family's territory,
01:08:27shipping routes, and casinos.
01:08:29Your mother hasn't slept in days because of you.
01:08:33Hawthorne Group and this whole family are being torn apart.
01:08:40Only then did he finally see it.
01:08:42In just a few months, his parents had aged so much.
01:08:47He was frozen after losing me, but everyone else was still paying for his mistakes.
01:08:59Notify Daniel.
01:09:04Tomorrow, I'm going back to Hawthorne Group and back to family headquarters.
01:09:09Adrian took back Hawthorne Group and reclaimed the New York underworld.
01:09:13He buried his obsession with finding me and became the man everyone feared again.
01:09:22In under three months, the families that moved in on his business lost their companies, shipping routes, and casinos.
01:09:30The ones who'd waited for him to fall came to apologize in person.
01:09:36Everyone thought he was finally back to normal.
01:09:39Only Eleanor and Richard knew he'd just learned to hide the pain again.
01:09:52You can meet her first.
01:10:00Don't ever put another woman in front of me.
01:10:04He had his power back, his money, everyone's fear.
01:10:10And still, he went back to that fake version of our old home.
01:10:15And fell asleep with my pictures.
01:10:19Once Hawthorne Group moved into Paris,
01:10:23Adrian finally learned Julian came from an old family.
01:10:27With more than enough money and power to protect me.
01:10:31He stopped coming after me.
01:10:34Instead, he opened an Italian restaurant near my place.
01:10:37It served one thing.
01:10:39Spaghetti Bolognese.
01:10:40My old favorite.
01:10:42I went once.
01:10:43One bite, and I knew it was Adrian's.
01:10:48But my tastes had changed.
01:10:51After a few bites, I put down my fork and never went back.
01:11:00He even bought a pear orchard.
01:11:02Every year, he handpicked the best pairs and sent them to me.
01:11:07The first few boxes came back unopened.
01:11:12Mr. Hawthorne, Ms. Bennett is getting married next month.
01:11:20On my wedding day, Adrian came too.
01:11:25He never stepped inside the church.
01:11:27He just stood back and watched Julian and me get married.
01:11:31For the first time, he saw it for himself.
01:11:36I was marrying someone else.
01:11:39And the future he'd once thought was his ended that day.
01:11:43Years later, I had a child of my own.
01:11:51Adrian adopted a little girl who looked a little like me and raised her as his own.
01:12:00All the drinking, the blackouts, the times he checked himself out early, the damage was permanent.
01:12:07Even then, he kept going back and forth between New York and Paris.
01:12:12He never came to me again.
01:12:15He only watched from a distance.
01:12:19Just to make sure I was safe and happy.
01:12:25Adrian thought I'd never leave, so he burned through my love without fear.
01:12:29Only after he lost me did he spend the rest of his life learning.
01:12:33Some people can regret it for the rest of their lives and still never be forgiven.
01:12:37It was a great day and see you all within seven.
01:12:39I could only hold my hair on the door to my home at one because he might be abandoned.
01:12:39I could never leave, I could never leave.
01:12:39Not even, it was the last one.
01:12:39You could never ask me.
01:12:39We could never be the last one?
