FunTranscript
00:00I'm not crazy, but I've been locked in this psych ward for three years.
00:04Stepmother threw me in here to steal my inheritance.
00:07If I acted normal, they drugged me.
00:09If I cried, they strapped me down.
00:11So I gave them exactly what they wanted.
00:14Faking insanity was my only armor.
00:16It kept me alive.
00:17But now, a billionaire, Caspian, is sitting across from me.
00:21Offering me a marriage contract because I saved his life.
00:24He needs a crazy wife.
00:26I need a ticket out of hell.
00:27Now, I'm staring at a marriage proposal from the heir of the Thorns family, Caspian.
00:33Are you out of your mind?
00:35I'm not crazy.
00:36I'm perfectly healthy, physically and mentally.
00:38Then why the hell do you want to marry me?
00:40Or am I the one hallucinating?
00:42I swear I took my meds today.
00:44Caspian went dead silent.
00:45The chubby facility doctor Higgins, standing off to the side, was winking at me.
00:50Hey, space leg, your eyelid having a seizure?
00:52Caspian gave a bitter smile.
00:54Do you really not remember me?
00:56He looked dead serious.
00:58Two years ago, under the west side overpass, you saved my life.
01:02Oh, yeah, that does ring a bell.
01:03Two years ago, I hopped the fence and busted out of this nuthouse.
01:06It was pouring rain that night.
01:08I found a guy covered in blood, dumped next to some trash cans, with people actively hunting
01:13him down.
01:14Got a hit squad on your tail?
01:16Yeah.
01:17Are you going to die?
01:20Yes.
01:21Hold on, Supreme Admirals!
01:23Come hide with Commander Nova!
01:25I dragged his ass right into a dumpster and sat on top of it.
01:28Whenever someone came by, I just pointed them in random directions.
01:31The next day, his people found him.
01:33And the ward staff found me.
01:35One of us got hauled into an ambulance, and the other got dragged back to the sight ward.
01:39Right before they took him, he grabbed my hand and asked for my name.
01:43Commander Nova.
01:43It took me some time to handle my family mess, and even more time to track you down.
01:48You actually looked for me?
01:50Caspian closed his eyes for a second.
01:52After cracking up, I suddenly froze.
01:54Wait, why were you even looking for me?
01:57Lexi, don't you want to get out of here?
02:00As long as you marry me.
02:01You get five million a month in pocket money.
02:03You can live in any property under my name.
02:06Drivers, bodyguards, and maids are all at your disposal.
02:09Not a bad gig.
02:11But what's in it for you?
02:12Ha! Don't tell me you're actually into me.
02:14After a long pause, he finally spoke.
02:17I'm into you because you're hassle-free.
02:20I've been running the Empire for two years, and now it's time I secure a stable marriage.
02:24The board, the family elders, and a few old-money families tied to the thorns all want me to marry
02:28ASAP.
02:29They've thrown plenty of women at me over the past two years.
02:31But all of them are way too much drama.
02:33Some want to snatch projects for their own families, some want to meddle in the company,
02:37and some are already plotting to get their hands on my shares before we even tie the right.
02:40You're different.
02:42You're the heiress of the Carmichael family, so on paper, we're a perfect match.
02:46If I marry you, no one can say a damn thing.
02:49But more importantly, you're sick.
02:52You don't care about the company, you don't want being Mrs. Throne,
02:55and you couldn't care less about scheming for the Carmichael's.
02:58The only thing you want right now is to get out of this place.
03:00And I need a wife with the right background who won't cause me any headaches.
03:05You need freedom.
03:06I need Mrs. Throne.
03:08So, Lexa, we can make a deal.
03:10But even if he was, what did I really have to lose at this point?
03:13When I walked out of the room and the director found out I'd signed,
03:16he literally cried tears of joy.
03:19Thank the heavens.
03:20We are finally getting rid of you.
03:22I shot him a nasty glare.
03:24Hey!
03:25You giant space slut.
03:28What kind of nonsense are you spouting?
03:30Commander Nova will return!
03:32I stood in the hallway and howled at the ceiling.
03:35My star cadets!
03:37Get out here.
03:38All of you.
03:39A bunch of patients immediately popped their heads up from the rooms on both sides.
03:43Commander!
03:44Commander!
03:46You guys stay put and be good.
03:48I'm going on a galactic crusade with the Supreme Admiral.
03:51Once my mission is complete,
03:53every single one of you will get promoted to the space fleet!
03:57After finishing the paperwork,
03:59I walked out carrying a single plastic bag.
04:01It held literally everything I owned.
04:03Two sets of hospital scrubs,
04:05one pair of slippers,
04:06and a plastic frog the guy next door gave me.
04:08That's all your stuff?
04:10Yep.
04:11Nothing else?
04:12I thought about it for a second.
04:13I dashed back into my room
04:15and grabbed the massive potted fern off the windowsill.
04:18Got something else now.
04:21An hour later,
04:22the car pulled up to the Thorn family estate.
04:24I hopped out holding my giant fern.
04:26I looked up.
04:27It had been a hot minute since I saw a mansion this huge.
04:30When we walked in,
04:31there were quite a few people sitting in the living room.
04:32I hadn't even figured out who was who yet
04:34when a voice echoed from the staircase.
04:36Is this the psycho you just married?
04:37A seven or eight year old boy was leaning against the railing.
04:40Just had a really punchable look in his eyes.
04:42Asher.
04:43Am I wrong?
04:45She's literally a mental patient.
04:47Everyone was secretly side-eyeing me,
04:48probably waiting for me to throw a crazy fist.
04:50Is this your kid?
04:52Come down here.
04:54What for?
04:55Get down here.
04:57No.
04:58If you don't come down,
04:59then I'm coming up.
05:01I sure tensed up all over.
05:02Before he could even react,
05:04I dropped my fern and bolted right up to his face.
05:09My son.
05:10I snatched him into a massive bear hug.
05:12Who the hell is your son?
05:15Your dad is my husband.
05:17What else would you be if not my son?
05:21I don't accept this.
05:24That's fine.
05:25As long as I accept it.
05:27He got so mad,
05:28he just plopped his butt on the floor.
05:30I totally satisfied.
05:31Right at that moment,
05:32someone gently tugged on my pant leg.
05:33I looked down.
05:34A four or five year old little girl was standing right there.
05:37I paused for a second.
05:38Evie!
05:38When a woman nearby suddenly snapped in a cold voice.
05:41Priscilla,
05:42Caspian's sister-in-law.
05:43Evie!
05:45She let go of my pant leg like a reflex.
05:48How many times have I told you not to talk to strangers?
05:51You have zero manners.
05:52After she said that,
05:53she looked down her nose at me,
05:54clearly trying to put me in my place.
05:56The little girl scrunched her face in pain,
05:58but didn't dare make a peep.
06:00Hubby?
06:00When Caspian heard that,
06:02he was stunned for a second.
06:03What's wrong?
06:04Did you forget to tell them I'm crazy?
06:07I told them.
06:12Don't you know that mental patients can kill
06:15without going to jail?
06:16If you ever touch her with your filthy hands again,
06:20do you believe I'll end you?
06:22You...
06:23You psycho.
06:25Bingo.
06:26But no prize.
06:30She's looking at Caspian in shock and anger.
06:32Caspian!
06:33You're just gonna stand there and watch her act crazy?
06:36Before we got married,
06:37I informed everyone.
06:39My wife isn't in good health,
06:42and she can't handle being triggered.
06:44Since you already knew that, sister-in-law,
06:46why would you bully her daughter right in front of her?
06:48The woman choked on her words.
06:49I shot Caspian a look.
06:51He adapted to his new titles pretty damn fast.
06:53I looked down at the soft,
06:55chubby little dumpling hiding behind me.
06:57Did you hear that?
06:59Hear what?
07:02Your dad said you're my daughter.
07:05Come here.
07:06Call me mom.
07:07The little girl hesitated for two seconds,
07:09then dove straight into my arms.
07:11Mommy.
07:13Yep.
07:14Not bad at all.
07:15First day out of the psych ward,
07:17scored a free husband.
07:18Plus, two kids without the labor pain.
07:20Absolute jackpot.
07:21Priscilla obviously wasn't letting this go.
07:23Dad, look at her attitude.
07:25Acting like this on her first day,
07:27what's she gonna do later?
07:28The patriarch, Reginald Thorne,
07:29finally put down his teacup.
07:31Enough.
07:31His voice wasn't loud,
07:33but the massive hall went silent instantly.
07:35Zip it.
07:36How old is Evie?
07:38Whatever you have to say,
07:40you can say it nicely.
07:41There's no need to get physical.
07:44Dad, I was just disciplining her.
07:46She has a father and a mother.
07:48Since when is it your place to discipline her?
07:51Exactly.
07:52I'm the mom.
07:56The middle-aged man standing nearby
07:58hurried out to smooth things over.
07:59All right.
08:00All right.
08:01We're all family.
08:03Let's not ruin the peace
08:04over something this small.
08:06This was the eldest brother,
08:07Alistair Thorne.
08:09Yeah, our new sister-in-law
08:10just got here, Priscilla.
08:11Don't take it to heart.
08:12This couple wasn't entirely bad.
08:14They were just spineless.
08:15Whichever way the wind blew,
08:16they bent.
08:17The second brother,
08:18Silas Thorne,
08:19didn't look too happy either.
08:20But since the patriarch had spoken,
08:21he didn't dare say anything else.
08:23That's enough.
08:24Let's talk about it when we get back.
08:25Priscilla's chest heaved with anger
08:27and she shot me a vicious glare.
08:29I immediately widened my eyes back at her.
08:31Want to see whose eyes are bigger?
08:32Bring it on.
08:33She froze and spun around and stormed off.
08:36Silas quickly chased after her.
08:38The patriarch leaned on his cane and stood up.
08:40I originally called everyone here today
08:42to discuss your wedding.
08:44Probably realizing that the current vibe
08:46was terrible for picking a lucky day.
08:48Forget it.
08:49You two figure it out yourselves
08:51and let the family know when it's settled.
08:54Sure.
08:55The patriarch gave me a long look,
08:56probably surprised I was so easygoing.
08:59In the end,
08:59he didn't say anything else
09:00and left with his people.
09:02Very quickly,
09:03the massive living room emptied out,
09:04leaving just me,
09:05Caspian and the two kids.
09:07I sat on the couch cuddling Evie
09:09while Asher stayed ten feet away,
09:11his face screaming defensiveness.
09:12Sorry about that.
09:14What are you apologizing for?
09:16There hasn't been a lady of the house here for years.
09:18I'm busy with work,
09:19traveling all the time.
09:20The kids are usually watched
09:21by my sisters-in-laws and nannies.
09:23I know they haven't had it easy.
09:25But there are things I only see the afterpath of.
09:27I have dozens of company issues
09:28to deal with every day.
09:29I can't keep an eye on the house.
09:30So from now on,
09:31I want to leave the household matters to you.
09:32I'm leaving the two kids in your hands.
09:34Me?
09:35You want a psycho running the house?
09:37At least I know you won't bully them.
09:39Well, he wasn't wrong about that.
09:40If anyone pisses you off,
09:41you can come straight to me.
09:42And what if you're the one who pisses me off?
09:46You can tell me that too.
09:47Asher, who had been quiet this whole time,
09:50suddenly let out a cold laugh.
09:52Her?
09:54She's a mental patient
09:55who can't even take care of herself.
09:56What right does she have to take care of us?
09:58Asher!
09:58I wasn't mad at all.
09:59Instead, I waved him over.
10:01Come here, son.
10:01Tell me.
10:02How do you want your mom to prove it?
10:04Who's your son?
10:04Then he looked at me
10:06and glanced at Evie curled up in my arms.
10:08Do you really want to run this house?
10:11Duh-huh.
10:12The Admiral begged Commander Nova.
10:15Then you handle her first.
10:17What's wrong with her?
10:20Aunt Priscilla is sending her
10:21to a fully closed boarding school.
10:23She'd only get to come home once a month.
10:25Aunt Priscilla said Evie is too timid
10:27and cries too much,
10:27so she needs to go there
10:28to fix her personality.
10:29But she's so little.
10:31If she goes to that school,
10:32what if people bully her?
10:33The kid's face was full of genuine worry.
10:35He was a bit edgy,
10:37but he really did care about his little sister.
10:39When are you supposed to go to this school?
10:41Tomorrow.
10:43Do you want to go?
10:49I'm asking you a question.
10:51Daddy said the school is really good.
10:55I just had someone look into the school.
10:56I never actually agreed to send her there.
10:58But Aunt Priscilla said you already said yes.
11:01So Priscilla's just treating a feather
11:02like a royal dread.
11:04Don't look at your dad.
11:05I'm asking you.
11:07Do you want to go?
11:09No.
11:10Then you're not going.
11:12But Aunt Priscilla said.
11:14Does what she says go?
11:15Is she the ruler of the universe?
11:18No.
11:19Then why is she sticking her nose in our business?
11:21Then quickly forced a straight face again.
11:23Laugh if you want.
11:23If you hold it in and get sick,
11:25your dad's going to have to pay your medical bills.
11:26Caspian rubbed his temples just about to speak
11:29when his phone suddenly rang.
11:31He picked it up
11:32and his expression quickly turned serious.
11:35A few minutes later,
11:36he hung up the phone.
11:37Lexi, there's a sudden issue
11:38with a merger at the company.
11:39The partners changed the terms
11:40out of nowhere tonight.
11:41I have to fly out to the city right now.
11:43How long are you going to be gone?
11:45Three days.
11:46At the earliest.
11:48Rest easy on your crusade, Admiral.
11:51Leave the alien sclab to Commander Nova.
11:53Only Evie was nice enough to play along.
11:55Mommy?
11:55Mommy?
11:56You're Commander Nova?
11:57Does that make me a little space cadet?
11:59You're a little space princess.
12:01Before Caspian left,
12:02he specifically called the butler over.
12:04and gave him orders right in front of everyone.
12:06While I'm gone these next few days,
12:08listen to whatever my wife says.
12:10Then he looked back at me.
12:11About the boarding school,
12:12we'll talk about it when I get back.
12:14No need.
12:16What?
12:18The discussion is over.
12:19Our little princess isn't going anywhere.
12:23All right.
12:24Whatever you say.
12:25That night,
12:26That night,
12:26I slept cuddling the soft little girl.
12:28Asher stood outside the room,
12:30looking super annoyed and jealous for a long time.
12:32I slept like a baby.
12:34The next morning at eight,
12:35the doorbell rang.
12:36Ma'am,
12:37the second lady is here.
12:38Ooh,
12:39let her come.
12:40She brought the people from the boarding school with her.
12:42Outside the door,
12:43Priscilla strutted in wearing high heels,
12:45followed by two teachers in uniform.
12:47When she saw me,
12:48Since Casby isn't here,
12:50let's not delay Evie's business.
12:51I've got all her stuff packed.
12:53She's leaving today.
12:55Then I looked up.
12:56Who's leaving?
12:58Evie,
12:58obviously.
13:00Go.
13:01Pack some luggage for the second lady.
13:03What do you mean?
13:04Whoever signed up
13:04is the one going to school.
13:07Lexi,
13:08what kind of crazy trip are you on?
13:10You already know I'm sick,
13:12so why are you asking why I'm acting crazy?
13:13Isn't that a stupid question?
13:15The two teachers behind her exchanged awkward glances.
13:18Sister-in-law,
13:19the boarding school is for Evie's own good.
13:21You just got here,
13:22you don't know the situation,
13:23and you don't know the kids,
13:24so stop meddling.
13:25You're going to ruin her future.
13:28She's barely the size of my hand.
13:30This is the time for her to eat,
13:31drink,
13:31and play.
13:33You know Evie?
13:34Of course.
13:35Then what's her favorite food?
13:40Favorite color?
13:44What time does she go to bed?
13:47Strike three.
13:48Congrats, brother-in-law.
13:49You've just earned the right to get the hell out.
13:51Sending her to boarding school
13:52was decided by the family erges ago.
13:54Decided by who?
13:55Me,
13:56your brother-in-law,
13:57and Casbian agreed to it too.
13:58Stop!
14:00It sounded like he was in a meeting,
14:01but his tone was super patient.
14:03What's up?
14:04Someone said you agreed to send Evie to boarding school.
14:07I did not.
14:08Hear that loud and clear?
14:09Her dad said he doesn't agree.
14:13So, can you still take the student away today?
14:16Nope.
14:16Absolutely not.
14:17But the tuition is already paid.
14:20Paid by who?
14:21I paid it.
14:22Do you know how hard it is to get a spot?
14:23I pulled so many strings,
14:25I dropped three million just on the school's education fund.
14:27I ran around for over a month for Evie,
14:29just so the patriarch would let me manage her education account for the year.
14:32Now you're saying she's not going?
14:33Doesn't that mean my whole month was just a giant waste of...
14:36A waste of what?
14:38A waste...
14:38A waste of time.
14:40Oh.
14:41So it doesn't matter if my daughter goes to school or not.
14:43What really matters is,
14:45if she doesn't go,
14:46you won't get to pocket your kickback, right?
14:47Lexi!
14:48Why so triggered, sister-in-law?
14:50Did I hit a nerve and break your little scheme?
14:54Stop talking trash!
14:57Hand it over.
14:58What?
14:59My daughter's money, duh.
15:01Lexi, are you actually insane?
15:03Exactly!
15:04You just figured that out?
15:05Why do you keep asking things everyone already knows?
15:08Is there something wrong with your brain or what?
15:12The cards?
15:13The accounts?
15:15Cough them up.
15:17Why should I?
15:18Because I'm her mom.
15:20You've been here for literally one day.
15:22What kind of are you?
15:24So what if it's been one day?
15:25The marriage certificate is real, right?
15:27The marriage is legally binding, right?
15:29I'm the legal guardian of this kid, right?
15:31Stop stalling and hand it over.
15:33The Patriarch trusted me to manage these.
15:35You think you can just take them?
15:37Not gonna hand them over, huh?
15:40Somebody get in here!
15:41Ma'am?
15:44Raid the treasury!
15:49Lexi!
15:51This evil witch is embezzling funds, monopolizing the back house, and holding the emperor hostage
15:58to command the nobles.
16:00Today, Commander Nova is acting on orders from the Colisees.
16:05Since when does Commander Nova care about palace drama?
16:10Same difference.
16:11Same difference.
16:13Leave everything that belongs to this family right here.
16:17The bodyguard's probably still trying to process what was happening.
16:19Useless.
16:21Looks like the commander has to do it herself.
16:24What are you doing?
16:26Give the money back.
16:27Let go!
16:28You let go first!
16:31Lexi!
16:32Priscilla!
16:33You absolute psycho!
16:35Thank you!
16:38Finally, with a loud rip, the bag straps snapped.
16:41The entire living room was dead silent.
16:44My hair was a mess.
16:45My clothes were all twisted.
16:46But mentally, I had never felt so alive.
16:49Those are my private belongings!
16:53Makes sense?
16:55I won't dig then.
16:57With a huge crash, lipsticks, compacts, keys, and credit cards spilled all over the floor,
17:02along with three family supplementary cards and the security token for the education account.
17:10Give it back!
17:11No way!
17:13Lexi!
17:14She chased me in her high heels.
17:16I ran barefoot around the couch.
17:17The two of us ran exactly three laps.
17:20Evie was watching, completely stunned.
17:21Pasher's mouth was twitching.
17:23The butler was literally clutching his chest.
17:25Finally, I slammed on the brakes.
17:27Priscilla couldn't stop in time and crashed face first into the couch.
17:31Disarmament successful.
17:32Butler.
17:33Ma'am, I'm here.
17:34Starting today, she is not allowed to touch a single cent of Evie's money.
17:38Cut off all her access to the kids' living expenses and education accounts.
17:42Understood, ma'am.
17:43I'll get on it right away.
17:44Lexi!
17:46You, you just wait.
17:48I'm going straight to the Percherock.
17:51Go for it.
17:54Perfect timing.
17:55You can roll yourself out on the way.
17:57Lexi.
17:57Body hairs!
18:00Ma'am.
18:00Show the guest out.
18:01If she refuses to leave, pack her up in a shipping box.
18:05This is the Thorne family.
18:07You're an outsider.
18:08What gives you the right to kick me out?
18:10Then I scooped Evie up into my arms.
18:12Because right now, I'm the lady of this house.
18:16If you've got a problem with that, you want to throw hands?
18:18Yeah!
18:19Lexi!
18:20Forget it.
18:20Forget it.
18:21She's a psycho.
18:21Don't stoop to her level.
18:22Let's go find the Patriarch.
18:24Lexi has zero manners.
18:25She'll get kicked out of the Thorne family sooner or later.
18:27Priscilla cursed up a storm as Silas dragged her out the door.
18:31The boarding school folks slinked away right behind them.
18:34The front door slammed shut.
18:36The world was finally at peace.
18:38I dusted off my hands and turned around.
18:40The two kids were staring at me.
18:42Jaws on the floor.
18:44Evie's eyes were sparkling.
18:46Asher held it in for a long time.
18:48Finally, he squeezed out a sentence.
18:50Lexi, are you actually insane?
18:53What about it?
18:55Finally realized you should be worshipping your mom?
18:59Mommy?
18:59Yeah?
19:01Mommy is so awesome.
19:03I love Mommy the most.
19:06When he saw me look over, he immediately whipped his head away.
19:10Childish.
19:10This little rebellious monkey is seriously stubborn.
19:13The next afternoon, I got a call from Asher's homeroom teacher.
19:17Is this Asher's mother?
19:18Yes, yes, yes.
19:19That's me.
19:20Someone finally recognized my status.
19:23Could you come down to the school when you have a minute?
19:26Asher got into a conflict with a classmate.
19:30Did Asher win?
19:32You should just come over.
19:34Half an hour later, I rushed into the school.
19:36My face was smudged with dirt.
19:38My jacket was totally wrinkled.
19:40Sitting nearby was a boy around the same age, with two wads of tissue stuffed up his nose.
19:45Priscilla had her arms wrapped around him, looking totally heartbroken.
19:49Whoa.
19:50Talk about a reunion.
19:51Look at the fine son you raised.
19:53I just clocked in for the job the day before yesterday.
19:55You can't pin this on me.
19:57Turns out the kid Asher fought with was Priscilla's son, Asher's cousin Toby.
20:02During recess, they were talking about something, and Asher suddenly shoved him.
20:06Ashler!
20:07Apologize to your cousin!
20:09No.
20:10You dare talk back!
20:13Trying to throw hands right under my nose again?
20:15Only then did I walk up to Asher.
20:18Why did you push him?
20:18No reason.
20:19Just didn't like his face.
20:20See?
20:20He's just acting crazy out of nowhere.
20:23He's definitely got something wrong with his head.
20:25Who did you say has something wrong with their head?
20:27What a coincidence.
20:28I don't know if Asher is sick or not, but I'm definitely sick.
20:31You want to test me?
20:31Mrs. Thorne and looked back at Asher.
20:34Seriously, why did you push him?
20:35But Toby started getting cocky.
20:37He's just crazy.
20:38Just like you.
20:39My mom said you'll get locked back up in the psych ward sooner or later.
20:42And when that happens, Evie is still getting sent away.
20:45I got it now.
20:46Just because of that?
20:47He also called Evie baggage.
20:49Said you only married into the family to scam us for money.
20:52I told him to shut up.
20:53He wouldn't shut up.
20:54So I pushed him.
20:55Oh.
20:56Hear that?
20:56He admitted it himself.
20:58Then pushing him was letting him off way too easy.
21:00You should have punched him.
21:01You're not going to yell at me?
21:04Why would I yell at you?
21:05I should be giving you a gold star.
21:07Mrs. Thorne, hitting people is definitely wrong.
21:09I know.
21:11So next time, you can't use your hands.
21:14The very next second, I continued.
21:16Let me do it.
21:19You.
21:21Stop listening to your mom's garbage from now on.
21:24Whether I'm scamming money or not has nothing to do with you.
21:27And it's not your place to say if Evie is baggage or not.
21:30If you run your mouth again, I'll beat you and your mom up together.
21:35Are you threatening a kid?
21:37So even you know you shouldn't just bully kids?
21:39In the end, since Asher threw the first punch, he had to write a 300-word apology essay.
21:45And Toby was forced by the teacher to apologize for verbally abusing a classmate.
21:50We left the office.
21:51Asher didn't say a word the whole way.
21:53I was walking in front when he suddenly called out to me.
21:56Hey.
21:57Call me mom.
21:58In your dreams.
21:59Took a few steps.
22:00A voice came from behind again.
22:02Earlier, why did you believe me?
22:04What?
22:04Weren't you worried I was lying?
22:06If you were lying, nothing I could do about it.
22:07Then why did you-
22:08Because you're my son.
22:09When nobody else believes you, if I don't believe you either, how miserable would you be?
22:13Besides, if you mess up, I'm the one who gets to teach you a lesson.
22:17Nobody else gets to touch a single hair on your head.
22:20He was standing in the sunset, his eyes a little red, but he quickly whipped his face away.
22:25After we got home, Asher started acting really weird.
22:28Before, if I got within 10 feet of him, he'd puff up like an angry cat.
22:33Now, when I sat on the couch watching TV, he'd quietly inch from 10 feet to 6 feet, 6 feet
22:39to 3 feet.
22:40And finally sit not too far from me, still making up excuses.
22:45The AC feels better over here.
22:47The next day, he sat closer again.
22:49The TV is easier to see from this spot.
22:52The third day, he just sat right next to me.
22:56What's the excuse today?
22:57No excuse.
22:59My son!
23:00Lexi!
23:01The living room turned into absolute chaos.
23:04Evie was sitting on the sidelines laughing and clapping her hands.
23:08That night, after I finished reading the story of Commander Nova fighting the alien scum to Evie,
23:13she insisted on sleeping with me.
23:15Asher walked past the door three times.
23:17First time, he said he was looking for water.
23:20Second time, he said he was looking for a charger.
23:22Third time, he said he was just passing by.
23:25Your room is on the other side of the house.
23:26You didn't know that?
23:29A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door again.
23:33Evie said she's scared and wants to sleep with me.
23:36I did not.
23:37But I still made room for him in the end.
23:40One bed, I slept in the middle.
23:42One on the left, one on the right.
23:43In the middle of the night, half asleep, I felt someone lightly tugging my shirt.
23:48Asher wasn't sleeping.
23:50He was staring at the ceiling.
23:51Are you gonna leave later on?
23:53I don't know.
23:54There are no absolutes in life.
23:55Maybe your dad goes bankrupt tomorrow and I take the money and run.
23:59Lexi?
23:59What?
24:00Can't you say something nice for once?
24:02Fine.
24:03As long as I'm your mom for one more day, nobody gets to bully you and Evie.
24:07Does that include yourself?
24:09Then left.
24:10No way.
24:10Right when I was about to fall asleep, I heard a super soft, quiet voice right next to my ear.
24:16Mommy.
24:18What did you just call me?
24:19You heard wrong!
24:21Say it again!
24:22No!
24:23Son!
24:23Go away!
24:24Did Asher call you mommy too?
24:27Shut up!
24:30Caspian came home on the third night.
24:32When he walked in, I was sitting on the rug, wearing a paper crown Evie made for me.
24:36Asher was kneeling by the coffee table, building a block castle for me.
24:39Evie was holding up a plastic wand, saying in her cute baby voice,
24:43Commander!
24:44Your space base is finished!
24:46Reward them.
24:47Reward us with what?
24:48Your dad's money.
24:49A light cough suddenly came from the doorway.
24:52All three of us turned our heads at the same time.
24:54Caspian was standing right there, looking travel-worn, with a super complicated expression on his face.
25:01Daddy!
25:01But his eyes were locked onto me the whole time.
25:05Looks like you guys have been getting along pretty well these past few days.
25:08Of course.
25:09Commander Nova is great at taming wild beasts.
25:13Who are you calling a beast?
25:14The rebellious monkey.
25:16The ungrateful son is trying to assassinate his mother!
25:19Lexi, stop right there!
25:20The two of us ran three laps around the living room.
25:24Caspian stood right where he was, just watching quietly.
25:27Finally, Asher grabbed the edge of my shirt.
25:29I spun around to tickle him, and he instantly hid behind Caspian's back, blurting out without thinking.
25:35Daddy! Control Mommy!
25:38Caspian looked down, looked at his son hiding behind him, then looked up at me.
25:42Mommy?
25:43I...
25:44My son!
25:44Shut up!
25:45But Caspian just stood there without moving, while Evie giggled in his arms.
25:49A moment later, he looked down and let out a soft laugh.
25:52This is really nice.
25:54That night, after the two kids went to sleep, I was crouching in the living room, watering the giant fern.
25:59He stood behind me, watching for a good while.
26:02Why are you watering plants in the middle of the night?
26:04Because it told me it was thirsty.
26:05You heard it talking?
26:06Plants can't talk.
26:09Why do you believe everything I say?
26:11He was about to say something, when his phone suddenly buzzed.
26:14The smile faded from his face.
26:16What happened?
26:17Work.
26:17Liar.
26:18Why do you say that?
26:19You're frowning so hard, you could crush an alien bug in there.
26:22I can feel it.
26:23It's killing intent.
26:24Lexi.
26:24Yeah?
26:25We got a lead on the people who tried to kill me two years ago.
26:27The memory of saving him in the pouring rain flooded right back.
26:31Caught them?
26:32Caught one of them.
26:32He's been hiding overseas all these years, just came back last week.
26:35The guy was hired muscle.
26:36The money went through several shell accounts.
26:38But we finally traced it back, and one of the payments came from an investment firm owned by the Thorn
26:43family.
26:44An inside job?
26:45Yeah.
26:46You've got a rat in your family?
26:47Which meant yes.
26:48After a minute, he added,
26:50But the guy doesn't know who the contact was.
26:52All the money and messages were handled online.
26:54Rest easy, Admiral.
26:56Commander Nova is the best at hunting down alien scum.
26:59But then he quickly reached out and rubbed my head.
27:01Stay out of this one.
27:02You looking down on me?
27:03I'm not looking down on you.
27:04I dragged you into this mess two years ago.
27:06I don't want it to happen a second time.
27:08My chest suddenly felt kind of weird.
27:11Fine.
27:11You're really staying out of it?
27:13Totally.
27:13I'm going to bed.
27:15When I walked past him, I naturally swiped his car keys right off the coffee table, muttering in my head.
27:21Stupid Admiral.
27:22You already married me into this house, and now you're feeding me this nonsense?
27:26Early the next morning, Caspian stood in the garage, looking at the completely empty parking spot.
27:32Lexi?
27:33Yeah?
27:34Where's my car?
27:36Commander Nova is requitioning it for a mission.
27:39Where are you?
27:40Deep space.
27:41Lexi!
27:42The overpass?
27:43Pull over.
27:45I'm sending someone to get you.
27:47What?
27:48Afraid I'm going to scratch your precious baby?
27:50This isn't about the damn car.
27:53You gotta be kidding me.
27:55I'm already out here.
27:56No way I'm turning back halfway.
27:58Two years ago, when I stuffed Caspian into that dumpster, a guy who was chasing him down ran past without
28:04seeing me, and hid behind the dumpster to make a phone call.
28:07Howard just sent the route.
28:08He's in this area.
28:10Keep searching.
28:10This guy named Howard was probably their inside contact.
28:14After the guy finished his call, he tossed a piece of paper on the ground.
28:18I caught a glimpse of it.
28:20It was a car wash ticket.
28:21I didn't remember the name, but I remembered where it was.
28:25Because the psych ward van that dragged me back drove right past that shop.
28:30The logo on the storefront matched the ticket.
28:33It was a giant golden bird.
28:36Took a wrong turn three times.
28:38Almost got onto the highway once.
28:45Finally, in an old auto mall on the west side, I spotted that familiar big golden bird.
28:51Golden Bird Auto Club.
28:53This is it.
28:54The shop was still there, just a lot more run down.
28:57And the owner was still the same guy.
28:59When I walked in, he stared at me for a good minute.
29:04Miss, have you been here before?
29:07You remember me?
29:08How could I not?
29:09It's not every day you see a girl in a psych hat van screaming at my sign,
29:12calling me a mutant, and telling me to surrender to the space fleet,
29:15especially one as pretty as you.
29:16Great memory.
29:21That night two years ago, did a few black SUVs roll through here?
29:24But when he saw the picture, his expression slowly changed.
29:28Honestly, yeah, they did.
29:32That whole thing has been a thorn in my side ever since.
29:35I always felt like it was going to blow up in my face one day.
29:38What happened?
29:41It was raining super hard that night.
29:47Three cars pulled up to sweep their license plates.
29:50They told me they were shooting a movie.
29:53They paid a lot, so I didn't ask questions.
29:56My mom was sick at the time.
29:58I really needed the cash, so I lost my mind and agreed to do it.
30:03When my mom found out later, she kept nagging me about it, terrified I helped do something horrible and karma
30:08would come for me.
30:09Who brought them in?
30:10Do you remember?
30:14A guy in his 40s, named Howard.
30:17Do you have a record of it?
30:18Anything works.
30:20Security footage?
30:20Payment logs?
30:21They paid in cash.
30:24It's been two years.
30:25There's no way I still have...
30:28Wait.
30:33The convoy paid through a corporate account back then.
30:36I should have written up a receipt, even though they didn't take it.
30:38Ten minutes later, a yellowed carbon copy was sitting right in front of me.
30:48One minute later, a car slammed on its brakes outside the shop.
30:57Surprise!
31:01Lexi.
31:02What?
31:04Didn't I tell you to stay out of this?
31:07Yeah.
31:09Then why did you put yourself in danger anyway?
31:12Because you're the Admiral.
31:13If you can't catch the mutant, obviously your best commander has to step up.
31:24But in the end, he just reached out and pulled me into a tight hub.
31:32After a long pause, Caspian whispered.
31:36Next time you decide to help me, tell me first.
31:42But all I said was...
31:44Oh, a second later, I shoved the receipt right in his face.
31:48Look at this first.
31:50If I'm right, this guy, Howard, is the rat in your family.
31:55And his face completely darkened.
31:59Because Ming Chang Business Consulting LLC, its actual controlling owner, was Howard.
32:05The guy who worked directly under the eldest brother, Alistair Thorne.
32:09Walking out of the auto club, I followed behind Caspian,
32:13miraculously keeping my mouth shut and not acting crazy.
32:16Not until we got in the car, did I ask softly.
32:19Are you really sad?
32:22I'm used to it.
32:24How do you get used to something like this?
32:27Alistair looks soft on the outside, but his pride is huge.
32:30He's the eldest son, he started working at the company first,
32:33and he grew up believing the Thorne Empire would be handed to him.
32:36But then Dad bypassed him and gave the company to me.
32:39He acts fine with it, but deep down he hate my guts.
32:44He couldn't get the seat himself, so he blames the guy who took his chair.
32:48That's not being an unrecognized genius.
32:50That's just having a weak spine.
32:53If he had real skills, he'd just take the company back.
32:55It's only the losers who spend all day plotting how to kill the guys who are better than them.
33:00To put it bluntly, you didn't steal it from him.
33:03He's just a sore loser.
33:05After a long pause, he suddenly smiled.
33:18Caspian didn't go after Alistair right away.
33:20He said he still needed solid proof.
33:22But I felt like the eldest brother already knew his cover was blown.
33:26Because the very next day, the patriarch suddenly called everyone back to the main house,
33:31claiming it was to discuss the wedding.
33:35But the second we walked in, I knew it wasn't.
33:38Silas was sitting on the couch, with Priscilla right next to him.
33:41When she saw me, she rolled her eyes so hard.
33:44I immediately rolled mine back twice, dominating her with sheer quantity.
33:49Alistair was acting mild and slow as usual.
33:51He even poured tea for Caspian.
33:54Welcome back, little brother.
33:57Caspian just gave a flat...
33:59Mm-hmm.
34:00...stared at him.
34:01The longer I looked, the weirder it felt.
34:04He was way too normal.
34:05Way too well-behaved.
34:07When the mutant goes quiet, they're definitely charging up their ultimate move.
34:11Sure enough, halfway through dinner, the second brother, Silas, suddenly spoke up.
34:17Dad, there's something I think we need to clear up.
34:20What is it?
34:22Asher and Evie aren't Casbier's biological kids.
34:30Say what?
34:32Casbier?
34:34Yeah.
34:36You got cheated on?
34:46Lexi.
34:48Can you be serious for one second?
34:52This is huge news.
34:53I'm being super serious.
34:57Neither of them are yours?
35:00No.
35:03You missed on both?
35:05Your aim is terrible.
35:06Asher and Evie were playing upstairs, so they hadn't come down yet.
35:11Caspian, you've been hiding the fact that you're raising two kids of unknown origin from everyone, and making them call
35:17you dad.
35:18And now you marry a psycho.
35:20With the Thorn Empire in your hands, what is the outside world going to think?
35:22Who are you calling a psycho?
35:28I already told you I'm a mental patient.
35:33Sorry, Priscilla's words were a bit harsh.
35:35But the Thorns aren't just an ordinary family.
35:38With Caspian sitting in that seat, he has to think about the big picture.
35:41Oh, the fox's tail is finally slipping out?
35:46The patriarch hadn't said a word yet.
35:48Dad, two years ago when you handed the family to Casbrian, we didn't have a problem with it.
35:54You two have problems written all over your faces.
35:58But what about now?
36:00A wife with mental issues, and two bastard kids from God knows where.
36:04If word gets out about this.
36:05Smash!
36:10Alistair, I raised you to understand reason and manners, to have boundaries and a conscience.
36:14But now you open your mouth and call them bastards.
36:17Do you even respect me as your father?
36:18Do you have a stretch of Thorn family decency left?
36:24Besides, who told you those kids are of unknown origin?
36:31Asher and Evie are your sister's kids.
36:35Obviously, he had known all along.
36:39Sister?
36:40You guys have a fourth sibling?
36:43When I was young, I made a mistake.
36:45I had a daughter outside the marriage.
36:47Her name was Serafina Thorne.
36:49She was the illegitimate daughter the Patriarch had never publicly acknowledged.
36:53Serafina grew up with her mother.
36:55She got married and had kids as an adult, and her mother passed away early.
37:00Serafina had a really tough life.
37:04After her husband died in an accident, she raised the two kids on her own.
37:08Then she was diagnosed with cancer.
37:10Right before she died, she finally contacted Reginald.
37:14By the time the Patriarch got there, it was already too late.
37:17Serafina only begged him for one thing.
37:20Take good care of my kids.
37:23So I couldn't let her kids suffer anymore.
37:25Asher and Evie's identities can't be made public.
37:28But I want them to grow up with food, clothes, education, status, and resources that are just as good as
37:33any Thorn child's.
37:34In fact, whatever others have, they must have too.
37:36I knew back then, the only person who could pull that off was the head of the Thorn family.
37:40Only the person standing at the very top of the family can make everyone else shut their mouths.
37:44Only then can those kids proudly carry the Thorn name.
37:47So I went to Caspier.
37:52I didn't give him the Empire because he took the kids.
37:55It's because the Thorn Empire was already his.
37:58That I felt safe giving the kids to him.
38:09I'm laying down the law today.
38:11Asher and Evie are Thorn children, and if anyone ever brings up their origins again, I will deal with them
38:15myself.
38:20As for the head of the Thorn family, I've already chosen Caspian.
38:22If anyone dares to entertain ideas they shouldn't have, don't blame me for showing no mercy as a father.
38:28Well said.
38:29You're a badass, Patriarch.
38:35You're a badass, Patriarch.
38:36Then what about Lexi?
38:38She's a literal psych.
38:42Since she married Caspier, she is the wife of the head of the Thorn family.
38:45She is the lady of this house.
38:51Whether she's sick or not, whether she deserves to stand here or not, is none of your damn business.
38:56If anyone gossips about her again, or tries to use their seniority to make her life hard, you can pack
39:02up your twisted little scooms and roll right out of the Thorn family.
39:05Dad's exactly right!
39:08That's exactly right!
39:10Too soon to call you dad?
39:12Ahem.
39:14Do whatever you want.
39:15Ahem.
39:16The old man was pretty cool after all.
39:19Dinner ended.
39:22I stood by the window, watching the estate glow in the evening light.
39:27Three years ago, I was locked in a psych ward, screaming at the ceiling.
39:33Tonight, I sat at the Thorn family table, and nobody dared to say a word against me.
39:38Two kids upstairs, finally safe.
39:42A husband who chose me on purpose.
39:45A father-in-law who just put the whole family in its place for me.
39:50Not bad, Commander Nova.
39:52Not bad at all.
39:56See you at the wedding, little brother.
39:59I didn't turn around, but something cold settled in my chest.
40:03That's a problem for tomorrow.
40:05Tonight, I had a family, and that was enough.
