TVTranscripción
00:00After a car accident, my little sister was mentally stuck at 7.
00:05The whole family played make-believe with her.
00:07Mom was the gentle queen, my brother was the handsome knight,
00:10but I had to wear 30-pound leg weights and play the evil cripple.
00:13Until I met my boyfriend, Damien Moretti.
00:16He gently unfastened the weights around my legs and murmured,
00:18Rachel, from now on, you're the only one I'll ever put first.
00:23But when I brought him home, Mia insisted he play a prince.
00:27You must marry me!
00:28I helplessly asked him to humor her.
00:30Damien reluctantly picked up the toy sword and played along, again and again.
00:35Before our wedding, I thought I could finally escape this family,
00:38but Mia clung to my wedding dress and cried,
00:41You're the evil witch! How can you wear a princess dress?
00:44Dad handed me a fake crooked nose.
00:46You've played the witch for years. What's one more day?
00:50Mom threw me the leg weights.
00:51There'll be so many guests tomorrow. Do you want to trigger your sister's episode?
00:56My brother held Mia and looked at me coldly.
00:58Mia's the only princess around here. Just let her have this.
01:01I looked helplessly at Damien, but he personally handed me the witch costume.
01:06Rachel, just go with it this once. Don't upset Mia.
01:09I looked into the eyes of the man I loved. That was the moment I stopped hoping.
01:13I turned to Mia and took off my engagement ring.
01:16What kind of princess doesn't have a diamond ring? Here, you can have this too.
01:20Then I pulled out my phone and booked a one-way flight.
01:25What is it now?
01:27All grown up and still not as sensible as our Mia.
01:30Damien gently stroked Mia's hair.
01:32Mia, sweetheart. Give me the ring, okay?
01:34Mia shook her head hard. Damien smiled at her fondly.
01:37Then he fished a soda can tab out of the trash and put it on my finger.
01:42Rachel, wear this one for now. It's just a ceremony. Let her have her fun. You're my real bride.
01:49A wedding stuff brought over the menu they'd finalized.
01:51Mia hated spicy food. I loved it. Every dish my family had picked was mild.
01:55My brother said calmly.
01:58Then you don't eat it. It's Mia's day too.
02:02This is my wedding!
02:03Mom pressed a hand on my arm.
02:05Be reasonable. Stop making such a big fuss.
02:08The wedding officiant looked at me awkwardly.
02:10So, uh, which lady will be walking down the aisle?
02:15Mia stared eagerly at Damien.
02:17He immediately let go of my hand, walked over to Mia, and stroked her hair.
02:23Come on, Rachel. Be good. Mia just wants to know what it feels like.
02:26Before I could say anything, Mia grabbed my wedding dress and yanked hard.
02:30The witch is a pig! Her dress is way too big on me!
02:36I want it smaller!
02:39Of course, sweetheart. I'll have someone come alter it right now.
02:43This is my dress! I waited six months to have it made!
02:47So buy another one. There are plenty of wedding dresses in stores.
02:51Just because you're big doesn't mean Mia should wear something that doesn't fit.
02:56So I sat below the stage, holding the ridiculous witch costume.
03:00I watched Mia walk down the aisle,
03:02wearing the wedding dress I'd spent six months customizing.
03:05She held my favorite bouquet of white irises,
03:07happily leaning against Damien's arm.
03:09Mom cried as she filmed them and posted it on social media.
03:12My little girl is all grown up. I'm so proud.
03:15Dad took Mia's hand and placed it firmly into Damien's.
03:19Damien, I'm trusting her to you.
03:22When the ceremony ended, Mia excitedly kissed Damien on the cheek.
03:26Everyone froze.
03:27The staff exchanged looks before glancing at me.
03:30Damien didn't move.
03:31He only pinched Mia's cheek helplessly.
03:33Little princess, we're rehearsing that too?
03:35Your sister's gonna get mad.
03:38The whole family turned toward me.
03:40I smiled.
03:41It's fine.
03:42I hope they last.
03:44If Damien likes idiots, that's none of my business.
03:46Mia burst into tears.
03:48Dad immediately stepped in front of her.
03:50God, Rachel.
03:51You can be so nasty.
03:53How could you say that about your sister?
03:56Your grandmother spoiled you rotten.
03:58The next second, Mia hurled the bouquet at me.
04:00Red blurred my vision as pain made my knees buckle.
04:04Mia buried herself in my boyfriend's arms.
04:07Damien can only marry me.
04:08Everyone rushed to comfort her.
04:10Damien took one step toward me.
04:12But Mia grabbed his shirt tightly.
04:14The man who once promised he'd never let anyone hurt me again stopped in his tracks.
04:19Then he turned back to soothe Mia.
04:22Mia, don't be scared.
04:23I'm here.
04:24At that moment, my heart went completely cold.
04:29The second I stood up, my brother grabbed me and dragged me back on stage.
04:33Apologize to Mia!
04:35Dad pointed at me.
04:36If you don't apologize, don't expect any of us at your wedding!
04:39My brother sneered.
04:41When the Morettas see none of your family there, you'll be the one embarrassed.
04:44I was the one bleeding.
04:45Yet my own family was using my wedding to threaten me.
04:49They knew Damien and I had been together for seven years.
04:52They knew how badly I'd wanted this wedding.
04:54I'd been sending wedding plans to our family chat again and again.
04:58My family usually answered with three dots.
05:00I thought it meant noted.
05:02Turns out, no one cared.
05:03I couldn't even choose the food at my own wedding.
05:05They didn't care about my wedding.
05:06They didn't care about me.
05:08I was done arguing.
05:09I looked at Mia.
05:11I'm sorry.
05:12Blood ran from my temple and dripped onto the floor.
05:15Mom spoke coldly.
05:16Mia didn't hear you.
05:18Damien sighed.
05:20Rachel, you shouldn't have said that.
05:22Apologize properly.
05:23Stop throwing a fit.
05:24So I said it again.
05:25And again.
05:26I'm sorry.
05:26By the hundredth apology, my throat was so dry I could almost taste blood.
05:31I'm sorry.
05:33Mia finally smiled.
05:34She grabbed a cup of yogurt, dumped it over my head, and giggled.
05:38Rachel, eat.
05:40Yogurt ran down my neck, cold and sticky.
05:43Mom sighed and wiped the blood from my temple.
05:45We love both of you.
05:47We're just trying to be fair.
05:49But I could barely breathe.
05:50I collapsed to my knees.
05:52My brother looked at me coldly.
05:54Mia's still upset.
05:55You should apologize again.
05:57He kicked me.
05:58Stop faking.
05:59Get up and apologize.
06:00My vision went black.
06:03When I woke up again, I saw a hospital ceiling.
06:06Damien was beside me.
06:08The second he saw my eyes open, concern covered his face.
06:12Rachel, you're awake.
06:13Are you feeling okay?
06:15There was a trace of guilt in his voice.
06:17Mia was crying so hard that everyone forgot you're allergic to dairy.
06:20Apparently, after I passed out, my family insisted I was pretending.
06:24It wasn't until a waitress screamed.
06:26She's breaking out in hives!
06:28That Damien realized I could barely breathe.
06:31Why didn't you tell anyone you were allergic to dairy?
06:34My brother walked in carrying fruit.
06:36He sounded annoyed.
06:37I'd told them countless times.
06:39When Mia got sick as a child, my parents dumped me on Grandma.
06:43Whenever they favored Mia, Grandma would throw them out.
06:45But when I was seven, Grandma passed away.
06:47Rachel, I won't be here to protect you anymore.
06:51Be brave, sweetheart.
06:54Damien, the engagement is over.
06:57You're mad at me?
06:58I only went along with Mia for your sake.
07:00Oh, please.
07:01You're calling off the wedding over this?
07:03Who are you kidding?
07:07You're just exhausted.
07:09After the wedding, I'll take you abroad for our honeymoon.
07:11Just two of us.
07:12Mia won't come, okay?
07:13I glanced at Damien's phone.
07:15A flight booking page was open.
07:16My heart loosened a little.
07:18I was about to speak when Mia called.
07:20Her voice came through sweet and tearful.
07:23Damien, where are you?
07:24Damien always looked indifferent toward everyone.
07:26But now his eyes softened as he listened to her.
07:29Mia, sweetheart.
07:30I'll be right back.
07:31He looked at me as if nothing was wrong.
07:32I have to go.
07:33Get some rest.
07:34We'll push the wedding back two weeks.
07:35You're in no condition to attend right now.
07:38Yeah.
07:39Let Mia handle the rest.
07:40You just worry about getting better.
07:46Bitterness flooded my chest.
07:48I called my former boss.
07:49You mentioned sending me to Europe.
07:51I'll take it.
07:52If all I could ever be in this family was the evil supporting character, then I would leave.
07:56And become the lead in my own life.
08:00I spent two weeks recovering in the hospital.
08:03Every day, I saw updates about my wedding.
08:05The simple venue I'd chosen was replaced with Mia's favorite princess pink theme.
08:09Dreamy balloons covered everything.
08:11Mom and dad watched as Mia twirled around in my wedding dress.
08:14My brother posted ten videos a day.
08:16He captioned it.
08:17My little crybaby is finally wearing a wedding dress.
08:20Your big brother is so proud.
08:21People we knew messaged me one after another.
08:24Completely confused.
08:25Rachel, is your sister getting married with you?
08:27I didn't answer.
08:29I took a cab home.
08:30Damien was peeling an apple for Mia.
08:32When he saw me, he instinctively kept me outside.
08:35Why are you back?
08:36I need some clothes.
08:38Damien visibly relaxed.
08:40He lowered his voice.
08:42Mia still hasn't forgiven you.
08:43Stay at the hospital.
08:44I've already covered everything.
08:45I didn't answer.
08:47I went to my room, packed my things, and took my passport and other important papers.
08:51Then I reached into the back of my closet and pulled out a small jewelry box.
08:55I opened it.
08:57But the bracelet inside was gone.
09:04My head went blank.
09:06It was the only thing Grandma had left me.
09:10I walked into the living room.
09:11Sure enough, it was on Mia's wrist.
09:14Dad didn't even look up.
09:16She found it a few days ago and liked it.
09:19Don't fight with her over it.
09:20My brother smiled at Mia.
09:21Look how pretty you are.
09:22Who's my one and only princess?
09:25Mia proudly held up her wrist.
09:26I walked over and held out my hand.
09:28My voice was hoarse.
09:31Give me the bracelet.
09:32Mia looked scared and burrowed into Mom's arms.
09:35No!
09:36Bad Rachel!
09:36She grabbed whatever she could reach and threw it at me.
09:40Dad shielded her and roared at me.
09:42It's just a bracelet.
09:44You're not going to die without it.
09:46I could barely feel the things hitting me.
09:48It felt like something sharp had gone straight through my chest.
09:50I glared at him.
09:52Grandma left that to me!
09:55It's the only thing I have from her!
09:57It's mine!
10:05It's mine!
10:06Are you really going to tear this family apart over a bracelet?
10:10She was Mia's grandmother too.
10:12God, do you have to be jealous of everything she has?
10:14I ignored him and lunged for Mia's wrist.
10:17Mia screamed and swung at me.
10:19She lost her balance and fell to the floor.
10:20The bracelet shattered into pieces.
10:22My throat tightened.
10:23I tasted blood.
10:26I dropped down and tried to gather the pieces.
10:28Blood covered my fingertips.
10:30The next second, my brother hauled me up.
10:32Pain exploded across my face.
10:34The sound silenced everyone.
10:36He had me by the throat, squeezing hard.
10:39Have you lost your mind?
10:40He kicked the broken pieces toward me.
10:43Then he shoved my face down onto the broken pieces.
10:46Someone needs to teach you a lesson.
10:48The shard scraped across my face, sending a sharp pain through me.
10:51Damien looked at me.
10:52For a second, a flicker of pity crossed his eyes.
10:54His foot moved.
10:55Then Mia started crying.
10:56Damien, I'm scared!
10:57Damien looked away.
10:59He immediately turned around and draped a jacket over her shoulders.
11:03Mom covered her face and cried.
11:05All you've ever cared about is that dead grandmother.
11:09God knows what that old woman did to make you like this.
11:12Rachel, get on your knees and apologize to your brother and sister.
11:16And swear you'll never take their things again.
11:19Otherwise, get the hell out of this house!
11:22Mom looked at the scrape on Mia's wrist with concern.
11:25And you're buying Mia a new gold bracelet?
11:27Look how badly you scared her.
11:29If you don't, you're no daughter of mine.
11:31I looked at them.
11:32The last bit of hope I had for this family disappeared.
11:34Okay.
11:35Mom didn't hear me.
11:36Apologize louder.
11:37My brother frowned.
11:38My mouth tasted like blood.
11:40I looked at them.
11:40I said, okay.
11:42We're done.
11:43I'm done with this family.
11:48After a car accident, my little sister was mentally stuck at seven.
11:53The whole family played make-believe with her.
11:55Mom was the gentle queen.
11:57My brother was the handsome knight.
11:58But I had to wear 30-pound leg weights and play the evil cripple.
12:01Until I met my boyfriend, Damien Moretti.
12:03He gently unfastened the weights around my legs and murmured,
12:06Rachel, from now on, you're the only one I'll ever put first.
12:11But when I brought him home, Mia insisted he play a prince.
12:15You must marry me!
12:16I helplessly asked him to humor her.
12:18Damien reluctantly picked up the toy sword and played along.
12:21Again and again.
12:23Before our wedding, I thought I could finally escape this family.
12:26But Mia clung to my wedding dress and cried,
12:29You're the evil witch!
12:30How can you wear a princess dress?!
12:32Dad handed me a fake crooked nose.
12:34You've played the witch for years.
12:36What's one more day?
12:38Mom threw me the leg weights.
12:39There'll be so many guests tomorrow.
12:41Do you want to trigger your sister's episode?
12:44My brother held Mia and looked at me coldly.
12:46Mia's the only princess around here.
12:47Just let her have this.
12:49I looked helplessly at Damien.
12:51But he personally handed me the witch costume.
12:54Rachel, just go with it this once.
12:56Don't upset Mia.
12:57I looked into the eyes of the man I loved.

13:01I turned to Mia and took off my engagement ring.

13:21Give me the ring, okay?
13:22Mia shook her head hard.
13:24Damien smiled at her fondly.
13:25Then he fished a soda can tab out of the trash and put it on my finger.
13:30Rachel, wear this one for now.
13:32It's just a ceremony.

15:43Your grandmother spoiled you rotten.
15:46The next second, Mia hurled the bouquet at me.
15:48Red blurred my vision as pain made my knees buckle.
15:52Mia buried herself in my boyfriend's arms.
15:55Damien can only marry me.
15:57Everyone rushed to comfort her.
15:58Damien took one step toward me.
16:00But Mia grabbed his shirt tightly.
16:02Mia, the man who once promised he'd never let anyone hurt me again, stopped in his tracks.

18:33But when I was seven, Grandma passed away.
18:36Rachel, I won't be here to protect you anymore.
18:39Be brave, sweetheart.
18:42Damien, the engagement is over.
18:45You're mad at me?
18:46I only went along with Mia for your sake.
18:48Oh, please.
18:49You're calling off the wedding over this?
18:51Who are you kidding?
18:55You're just exhausted.
18:57After the wedding, I'll take you abroad for our honeymoon.
18:59Just two of us.
19:00Mia won't come.
19:01Okay?
19:02I glanced at Damien's phone.
19:03A flight booking page was open.
19:05My heart loosened a little.
19:06I was about to speak when Mia called.
19:08Her voice came through sweet and tearful.
19:11Damien, where are you?
19:12Damien always looked indifferent toward everyone.
19:14But now his eyes softened as he listened to her.
19:16Mia, sweetheart.
19:17I'll be right back.
19:19He looked at me as if nothing was wrong.
19:20I have to go.
19:21Get some rest.
19:22We'll push the wedding back two weeks.
19:23You're in no condition to attend right now.
19:26Yeah.
19:27Let Mia handle the rest.
19:28You just worry about getting better.
19:34Bitterness flooded my chest.
19:36I called my former boss.
19:37You mentioned sending me to Europe.
19:39I'll take it.
19:40If all I could ever be in this family was the evil supporting character,
19:43then I would leave.
19:44And become the lead in my own life.
19:48I spent two weeks recovering in the hospital.
19:51Every day, I saw updates about my wedding.
19:53The simple venue I'd chosen was replaced with Mia's favorite princess pink theme.
19:57Dreamy balloons covered everything.
19:59Mom and dad watched as Mia twirled around in my wedding dress.
20:02My brother posted ten videos a day.
20:04He captioned it,
20:05My little crybaby is finally wearing a wedding dress.
20:08Your big brother is so proud.
20:10People we knew messaged me one after another, completely confused.
20:13Rachel, is your sister getting married with you?
20:15I didn't answer.
20:17I took a cab home.
20:18Damien was peeling an apple for Mia.
20:20When he saw me, he instinctively kept me outside.
20:23Why are you back?
20:24I need some clothes.
20:26Damien visibly relaxed.
20:28He lowered his voice.
20:30Mia still hasn't forgiven you.
20:31Stay at the hospital.
20:32I've already covered everything.
20:34I didn't answer.
20:35I went to my room,
20:36packed my things,
20:36and took my passport and other important papers.
20:39Then I reached into the back of my closet
20:40and pulled out a small jewelry box.
20:43I opened it.
20:45But the bracelet inside was gone.
20:52My head went blank.
20:54It was the only thing Grandma had left me.
20:58I walked into the living room.
20:59Sure enough, it was on Mia's wrist.
21:02Dad didn't even look up.
21:04She found it a few days ago and liked it.
21:07Don't fight with her over it.
21:08My brother smiled at Mia.
21:09Look how pretty you are.
21:11Who's my one and only princess?
21:13Mia proudly held up her wrist.
21:14I walked over and held out my hand.
21:16My voice was hoarse.
21:19Give me the bracelet.
21:20Mia looked scared and burrowed into Mom's arms.
21:23No!
21:23Bad Rachel!
21:25She grabbed whatever she could reach
21:26and threw it at me.
21:28Dad shielded her and roared at me.
21:30It's just a bracelet.
21:32You're not going to die without it.
21:34I could barely feel the things hitting me.
21:36It felt like something sharp
21:37had gone straight through my chest.
21:38I glared at him.
21:40Grandma left that to me!
21:43It's the only thing I have from her!
21:45It's mine!
21:50Dad paused.
21:51Then his expression hardened again.
21:53Your grandmother is dead.
21:54Are you really going to tear this family apart over a bracelet?
21:58She was Mia's grandmother too.
22:00God, do you have to be jealous of everything she has?
22:02I ignored him and lunged for Mia's wrist.
22:05Mia screamed and swung at me.
22:07She lost her balance and fell to the floor.
22:08The bracelet shattered into pieces.
22:10My throat tightened.
22:11I tasted blood.
22:14I dropped down and tried to gather the pieces.
22:16Blood covered my fingertips.
22:18The next second, my brother hauled me up.
22:20Pain exploded across my face.
22:22The sound silenced everyone.
22:24He had me by the throat, squeezing hard.
22:27Have you lost your mind?
22:28He kicked the broken pieces toward me.
22:31Then he shoved my face down onto the broken pieces.
22:34Someone needs to teach you a lesson.
22:35The shard scraped across my face,
22:37sending a sharp pain through me.
22:39Damien looked at me.
22:40For a second, a flicker of pity crossed his eyes.
22:42His foot moved.
22:43Then Mia started crying.
22:44Damien, I'm scared!
22:45Damien looked away.
22:47He immediately turned around
22:48and draped a jacket over her shoulders.
22:51Mom covered her face and cried.
22:53All you've ever cared about is that dead grandmother.
22:57God knows what that old woman did to make you like this.
23:00Rachel, get on your knees
23:01and apologize to your brother and sister
23:04and swear you'll never take their things again.
23:07Otherwise, get the hell out of this house!
23:10Mom looked at the scrape on Mia's wrist
23:12with concern.
23:13And you're buying Mia a new gold bracelet?
23:15Look how badly you scared her.
23:17If you don't, you're no daughter of mine.
23:19I looked at them.
23:20The last bit of hope I had for this family disappeared.
23:22Okay.
23:23Mom didn't hear me.
23:24Apologize louder.
23:25My brother frowned.
23:26My mouth tasted like blood.
23:27I looked at them.
23:28I said, okay.
23:30We're done.
23:31I'm done with this family.
23:36After a car accident,
23:38my little sister was mentally stuck at seven.
23:41The whole family played make-believe with her.
23:43Mom was the gentle queen.
23:45My brother was the handsome knight.
23:46But I had to wear 30-pound leg weights
23:48and play the evil cripple.
23:49Until I met my boyfriend, Damien Moretti.
23:51He gently unfastened the weights around my legs
23:53and murmured,
23:54Rachel, from now on,
23:56you're the only one I'll ever put first.
23:59But when I brought him home,
24:01Mia insisted he play a prince.
24:03You must marry me!
24:04I helplessly asked him to humor her.
24:06Damien reluctantly picked up the toy sword
24:08and played along.
24:09Again and again.
24:11Before our wedding,
24:12I thought I could finally escape this family.
24:14But Mia clung to my wedding dress and cried,
24:17You're the evil witch!
24:18How can you wear a princess dress?
24:20Dad handed me a fake crooked nose.
24:22You've played the witch for years.
24:24What's one more day?
24:26Mom threw me the leg weights.
24:27There'll be so many guests tomorrow.
24:29Do you want to trigger your sister's episode?
24:32My brother held Mia and looked at me coldly.
24:34Mia's the only princess around here.
24:35Just let her have this.
24:37I looked helplessly at Damien,
24:39but he personally handed me the witch costume.
24:42Rachel, just go with it this once.
24:44Don't upset Mia.
24:45I looked into the eyes of the man I loved.
24:47That was the moment I stopped hoping.
24:49I turned to Mia and took off my engagement ring.
24:52What kind of princess doesn't have a diamond ring?
24:54Here, you can have this too.
24:56Then I pulled out my phone and booked a one-way flight.
25:01What is it now?
25:03All grown up and still not as sensible as our Mia.
25:06Damien gently stroked Mia's hair.
25:08Mia, sweetheart.
25:09Give me the ring, okay?
25:10Mia shook her head hard.
25:12Damien smiled at her fondly.
25:13Then he fished a soda can tab out of the trash and put it on my finger.
25:18Rachel, wear this one for now.
25:20It's just a ceremony.
25:22Let her have her fun.
25:23You're my real bride.
25:25A wedding stuff brought over the menu they'd finalized.
25:27Mia hated spicy food.
25:29I loved it.
25:30Every dish my family had picked was mild.
25:32My brother said calmly,
25:34Then you don't eat it.
25:35It's Mia's day too.
25:38This is my wedding!
25:39Mom pressed a hand on my arm.
25:40Be reasonable.
25:42Stop making such a big fuss.
25:43The wedding officiant looked at me awkwardly.
25:46So, uh, which lady will be walking down the aisle?
25:51Mia stared eagerly at Damien.
25:53He immediately let go of my hand,
25:55walked over to Mia,
25:56and stroked her hair.
25:59Come on, Rachel.
26:00Be good.
26:01Mia just wants to know what it feels like.
26:02Before I could say anything,
26:04Mia grabbed my wedding dress and yanked hard.
26:06The witch is a pig!
26:07Her dress is way too big on me!
26:12I want it smaller!
26:14Of course, sweetheart.
26:16I'll have someone come alter it right now.
26:19This is my dress!
26:21I waited six months to have it made!
26:23So buy another one.
26:24There are plenty of wedding dresses in stores.
26:27Just because you're big doesn't mean Mia should wear something that doesn't fit.
26:32So I sat below the stage,
26:33holding the ridiculous witch costume.
26:36I watched Mia walk down the aisle,
26:38wearing the wedding dress I'd spent six months customizing.
26:41She held my favorite bouquet of white irises,
26:43happily leaning against Damien's arm.
26:45Mom cried as she filmed them and posted it on social media.
26:48My little girl is all grown up.
26:50I'm so proud.
26:51Dad took Mia's hand and placed it firmly into Damien's.
26:55Damien,
26:56I'm trusting her to you.
26:58When the ceremony ended,
26:59Mia excitedly kissed Damien on the cheek.
27:02Everyone froze.
27:03The staff exchanged looks before glancing at me.
27:06Damien didn't move.
27:07He only pinched Mia's cheek helplessly.
27:09Little princess, we're rehearsing that too?
27:11Your sister's gonna get mad.
27:14The whole family turned toward me.
27:16I smiled.
27:17It's fine.
27:18I hope they last.
27:19If Damien likes idiots, that's none of my business.
27:22Mia burst into tears.
27:24Dad immediately stepped in front of her.
27:26God, Rachel.
27:27You can be so nasty.
27:29How could you say that about your sister?
27:31Your grandmother spoiled you rotten.
27:34The next second,
27:35Mia hurled the bouquet at me.
27:36Red blurred my vision as pain made my knees buckle.
27:40Mia buried herself in my boyfriend's arms.
27:43Damien can only marry me.
27:45Everyone rushed to comfort her.
27:46Damien took one step toward me.
27:48But Mia grabbed his shirt tightly.
27:50The man who once promised he'd never let anyone hurt me again
27:54stopped in his tracks.
27:55Then he turned back to soothe Mia.
27:58Mia, don't be scared.
27:59I'm here.
28:00At that moment, my heart went completely cold.
28:05The second I stood up,
28:06my brother grabbed me and dragged me back on stage.
28:09Apologize to Mia!
28:11Dad pointed at me.
28:12If you don't apologize,
28:13don't expect any of us at your wedding!
28:15My brother sneered.
28:16When the Morettas see none of your family there,
28:19you'll be the one embarrassed.
28:20I was the one bleeding.
28:21Yet my own family was using my wedding to threaten me.
28:25They knew Damien and I had been together for seven years.
28:28They knew how badly I'd wanted this wedding.
28:30I'd been sending wedding plans to our family chat again and again.
28:34My family usually answered with three dots.
28:36I thought it meant noted.
28:38Turns out, no one cared.
28:39I couldn't even choose the food at my own wedding.
28:41They didn't care about my wedding.
28:42They didn't care about me.
28:44I was done arguing.
28:45I looked at Mia.
28:47I'm sorry.
28:48Blood ran from my temple and dripped onto the floor.
28:51Mom spoke coldly.
28:52Mia didn't hear you.
28:54Damien sighed.
28:56Rachel, you shouldn't have said that.
28:57Apologize properly.
28:59Stop throwing a fit.
29:00So I said it again.
29:01And again.
29:02I'm sorry.
29:02By the hundredth apology,
29:03my throat was so dry I could almost taste blood.
29:07I'm sorry.
29:08Mia finally smiled.
29:10She grabbed a cup of yogurt,
29:12dumped it over my head,
29:12and giggled.
29:14Rachel, eat.
29:16Yogurt ran down my neck,
29:17cold and sticky.
29:19Mom sighed and wiped the blood from my temple.
29:21We love both of you.
29:23We're just trying to be fair.
29:25But I could barely breathe.
29:26I collapsed to my knees.
29:28My brother looked at me coldly.
29:29Mia's still upset.
29:31You should apologize again.
29:32He kicked me.
29:34Stop faking.
29:35Get up and apologize.
29:36My vision went black.
29:39When I woke up again,
29:41I saw a hospital ceiling.
29:42Damien was beside me.
29:43The second he saw my eyes open,
29:45concern covered his face.
29:48Rachel, you're awake.
29:49Are you feeling okay?
29:51There was a trace of guilt in his voice.
29:53Mia was crying so hard that everyone forgot you're allergic to dairy.
29:56Apparently, after I passed out,
29:58my family insisted I was pretending.
30:00It wasn't until a waitress screamed,
30:02She's breaking out in hives!
30:04that Damien realized I could barely breathe.
30:07Why didn't you tell anyone you were allergic to dairy?
30:09My brother walked in carry fruit.
30:12He sounded annoyed.
30:13I'd told them countless times.
30:15When Mia got sick as a child,
30:16my parents dumped me on Grandma.
30:18Whenever they favored Mia,
30:20Grandma would throw them out.
30:21But when I was seven,
30:22Grandma passed away.
30:23Rachel,
30:24I won't be here to protect you anymore.
30:27Be brave, sweetheart.
30:30Damien, the engagement is over.
30:33You're mad at me?
30:34I only went along with Mia for your sake.
30:36Oh, please.
30:37You're calling off the wedding over this?
30:39Who are you kidding?
30:43You're just exhausted.
30:45After the wedding,
30:46I'll take you abroad for our honeymoon.
30:47Just two of us.
30:48Mia won't come.
30:49Okay?
30:49I glanced at Damien's phone.
30:51A flight booking page was open.
30:53My heart loosened a little.
30:54I was about to speak when Mia called.
30:56Her voice came through sweet and tearful.
30:59Damien, where are you?
31:00Damien always looked indifferent toward everyone,
31:02but now his eyes softened as he listened to her.

31:05I'll be right back.
31:06He looked at me as if nothing was wrong.

35:07The last bit of hope I had for this family disappeared.

35:52I helplessly asked him to humor her.
35:54Damien reluctantly picked up the toy sword and played along.
35:57Again and again.
35:59Before our wedding, I thought I could finally escape this family.
36:02But Mia clung to my wedding dress and cried.
36:05You're the evil witch!
36:06How can you wear a princess dress?
36:08Dad handed me a fake crooked nose.
36:10You've played the witch for years.
36:12What's one more day?
36:14Mom threw me the leg weights.
36:15There'll be so many guests tomorrow.
36:17Do you want to trigger your sister's episode?
36:20My brother held Mia and looked at me coldly.
36:22Mia's the only princess around here.
36:23Just let her have this.
36:25I looked helplessly at Damien.
36:27But he personally handed me the witch costume.
36:30Rachel, just go with it this once.
36:32Don't upset Mia.
36:33I looked into the eyes of the man I loved.
36:35That was the moment I stopped hoping.
36:36I turned to Mia and took off my engagement ring.
36:40What kind of princess doesn't have a diamond ring?
36:42Here, you can have this too.
36:44Then I pulled out my phone and booked a one-way flight.
36:49What is it now?
36:51All grown up and still not as sensible as our Mia.
36:54Damien gently stroked Mia's hair.
36:56Mia, sweetheart.
36:57Give me the ring, okay?
36:58Mia shook her head hard.
37:00Damien smiled at her fondly.
37:01Then he fished a soda can tab out of the trash and put it on my finger.
37:06Rachel, wear this one for now.
37:08It's just a ceremony.
37:10Let her have her fun.
37:11You're my real bride.
37:12A wedding stuff brought over the menu they'd finalized.
37:15Mia hated spicy food.
37:17I loved it.
37:18Every dish my family had picked was mild.
37:20My brother said calmly,
37:22Then you don't eat it.
37:23It's Mia's day too.
37:26This is my wedding!
37:27Mom pressed a hand on my arm.
37:28Be reasonable.
37:30Stop making such a big fuss.
37:31The wedding officiant looked at me awkwardly.
37:34So, uh, which lady will be walking down the aisle?
37:39Mia stared eagerly at Damien.
37:41He immediately let go of my hand,
37:43walked over to Mia,
37:44and stroked her hair.
37:47Come on, Rachel.
37:48Be good.
37:48Mia just wants to know what it feels like.
37:50Before I could say anything,
37:52Mia grabbed my wedding dress and yanked hard.
37:54The witch is a pig!
37:55Her dress is way too big on me!
38:00I want it smaller!
38:02Of course, sweetheart.
38:04I'll have someone come alter it right now.
38:07This is my dress.
38:08I waited six months to have it made.
38:11So buy another one.
38:12There are plenty of wedding dresses in stores.
38:15Just because you're big doesn't mean
38:16Mia should wear something that doesn't fit.
38:19So I sat below the stage,
38:21holding the ridiculous witch costume.
38:23I watched Mia walk down the aisle,
38:25wearing the wedding dress I'd spent six months customizing.
38:28She held my favorite bouquet of white irises,
38:31happily leaning against Damien's arm.
38:33Mom cried as she filmed them
38:34and posted it on social media.
38:36My little girl is all grown up.
38:38I'm so proud.
38:39Dad took Mia's hand
38:40and placed it firmly into Damien's.
38:43Damien,
38:44I'm trusting her to you.
38:46When the ceremony ended,
38:47Mia excitedly kissed Damien on the cheek.
38:50Everyone froze.
38:51The staff exchanged looks before glancing at me.
38:54Damien didn't move.
38:55He only pinched Mia's cheek helplessly.
38:57Little princess,
38:58we're rehearsing that too?
38:59Your sister's gonna get mad.
39:02The whole family turned toward me.
39:04I smiled.
39:05It's fine.
39:06I hope they last.
39:07If Damien likes idiots,
39:09that's none of my business.
39:10Mia burst into tears.
39:12Dad immediately stepped in front of her.
39:14God, Rachel!
39:16You can be so nasty.
39:17How could you say that about your sister?
39:19Your grandmother spoiled you rotten.
39:22The next second,
39:23Mia hurled the bouquet at me.
39:24Red blurred my vision
39:26as pain made my knees buckle.
39:28Mia buried herself in my boyfriend's arms.
39:30Damien can only marry me.
39:32Everyone rushed to comfort her.
39:34Damien took one step toward me.
39:36But Mia grabbed his shirt tightly.
39:38The man who once promised
39:40he'd never let anyone hurt me again
39:42stopped in his tracks.
39:43Then he turned back to soothe Mia.
39:46Mia, don't be scared.
39:47I'm here.
39:48At that moment,
39:49my heart went completely cold.
39:53The second I stood up,
39:54my brother grabbed me
39:55and dragged me back on stage.
39:57Apologize to Mia!
39:59Dad pointed at me.
40:00If you don't apologize,
40:01don't expect any of us
40:02at your wedding!
40:03My brother sneered.
40:05When the Meredas see
40:06none of your family there,
40:07you'll be the one embarrassed.
40:08I was the one bleeding.
40:09Yet my own family
40:11was using my wedding
40:11to threaten me.
40:13They knew Damien and I
40:14had been together
40:15for seven years.
40:16They knew how badly
40:17I'd wanted this wedding.
40:18I'd been sending wedding plans
40:20to our family chat
40:21again and again.
40:22My family usually answered
40:23with three dots.
40:24I thought it meant noted.
40:26Turns out,
40:26no one cared.
40:27I couldn't even choose
40:28the food at my own wedding.
40:29They didn't care about my wedding.
40:30They didn't care about me.
40:31I was done arguing.
40:33I looked at Mia.
40:35I'm sorry.
40:36Blood ran from my temple
40:38and dripped onto the floor.
40:39Mom spoke coldly.
40:40Mia didn't hear you.
40:42Damien sighed.
40:44Rachel,
40:44you shouldn't have said that.
40:45Apologize properly.
40:47Stop throwing a fit.
40:48So I said it again.
40:49And again.
40:50I'm sorry.
40:50By the hundredth apology,
40:51my throat was so dry
40:53I could almost taste blood.
40:55I'm sorry.
40:55I'm sorry.
40:56Mia finally smiled.
40:58She grabbed a cup of yogurt,
40:59dumped it over my head
41:00and giggled.
41:02Rachel, eat.
41:04Yogurt ran down my neck,
41:05cold and sticky.
41:06Mom sighed
41:07and wiped the blood
41:08from my temple.
41:09We love both of you.
41:11We're just trying to be fair.
41:13But I could barely breathe.
41:14I collapsed to my knees.
41:16My brother looked at me coldly.
41:17Mia's still upset.
41:19You should apologize again.
41:20He kicked me.
41:22Stop faking.
41:23Get up and apologize.
41:24My vision went black.
41:27When I woke up again,
41:29I saw a hospital ceiling.
41:30Damien was beside me.
41:31The second he saw my eyes open,
41:33concern covered his face.
41:36Rachel, you're awake.
41:37Are you feeling okay?
41:39There was a trace of guilt
41:40in his voice.
41:41Mia was crying so hard
41:42that everyone forgot
41:43you're allergic to dairy.
41:45Apparently,
41:45after I passed out,
41:46my family insisted
41:47I was pretending.
41:48It wasn't until
41:49a waitress screamed,
41:50She's breaking out in hives!
41:52that Damien realized
41:53I could barely breathe.
41:55Why didn't you tell anyone
41:56you were allergic to dairy?
41:57My brother walked in
41:59carry fruit.
42:00He sounded annoyed.
42:01I'd told them
42:01countless times.
42:02When Mia got sick as a child,
42:04my parents dumped me
42:06on Grandma.
42:06Whenever they favored Mia,
42:08Grandma would throw them out.
42:09But when I was seven,
42:10Grandma passed away.
42:11Rachel,
42:12I won't be here
42:13to protect you anymore.
42:15Be brave, sweetheart.
42:18Damien,
42:18the engagement is over.
42:21You're mad at me?
42:22I only went along with Mia
42:23for your sake.
42:24Oh, please.
42:25You're calling off
42:26the wedding over this?
42:27Who are you kidding?
42:31You're just exhausted.
42:33After the wedding,
42:34I'll take you abroad
42:34for our honeymoon,
42:35just two of us.
42:36Mia won't come, okay?
42:37I glanced at Damien's phone.
42:39A flight booking page
42:40was open.
42:41My heart loosened a little.
42:42I was about to speak
42:43when Mia called.
42:44Her voice came through
42:45sweet and tearful.
42:47Damien,
42:47where are you?
42:48Damien always looked
42:49indifferent toward everyone,
42:50but now his eyes softened
42:51as he listened to her.
42:52Mia, sweetheart,
42:53I'll be right back.
42:54He looked at me
42:55as if nothing was wrong.
42:56I have to go.
42:57Get some rest.
42:57We'll push the wedding
42:58back two weeks.
42:59You're in no condition
43:00to attend right now.
43:02Yeah.
43:03Let Mia handle the rest.
43:04You just worry
43:05about getting better.
43:10Bitterness flooded my chest.
43:12I called my former boss.
43:13You mentioned sending me
43:14to Europe.
43:15I'll take it.
43:16If all I could ever be
43:17in this family
43:17was the evil supporting character,
43:19then I would leave
43:20and become the lead
43:21in my own life.
43:24I spent two weeks
43:25recovering in the hospital.
43:27Every day,
43:27I saw updates
43:28about my wedding.
43:29The simple venue
43:29I'd chosen
43:30was replaced
43:30with Mia's favorite
43:31princess pink theme.
43:33Dreamy balloons
43:34covered everything.
43:35Mom and dad watched
43:36as Mia twirled around
43:37in my wedding dress.
43:38My brother posted
43:39ten videos a day.
43:40He captioned it,
43:41My little crybaby
43:42is finally wearing
43:43a wedding dress.
43:44Your big brother
43:44is so proud.
43:45People we knew
43:46messaged me
43:47one after another,
43:48completely confused.
43:49Rachel,
43:50is your sister
43:50getting married with you?
43:51I didn't answer.
43:53I took a cab home.
43:54Damien was peeling
43:55an apple for Mia.
43:56When he saw me,
43:57he instinctively
43:58kept me outside.
43:59Why are you back?
44:00I need some clothes.
44:02Damien visibly relaxed.
44:04He lowered his voice.
44:06Mia still hasn't
44:06forgiven you.
44:07Stay at the hospital.
44:08I've already covered everything.
44:09I didn't answer.
44:10I went to my room,
44:12packed my things,
44:12and took my passport
44:13and other important papers.
44:14Then I reached
44:15into the back of my closet
44:16and pulled out
44:17a small jewelry box.
44:18I opened it,
44:21but the bracelet
44:22inside was gone.
44:28My head went blank.
44:30It was the only thing
44:31Grandma had left me.
44:33I walked into the living room.
44:35Sure enough,
44:36it was on Mia's wrist.
44:38Dad didn't even look up.
44:40She found it a few days ago
44:42and liked it.
44:43Don't fight with her over it.
44:44My brother smiled at Mia.
44:45Look how pretty you are.
44:47Who's my one and only princess?
44:48Mia proudly held up her wrist.
44:50I walked over
44:51and held out my hand.
44:52My voice was hoarse.
44:55Give me the bracelet.
44:56Mia looked scared
44:57and burrowed into Mom's arms.
44:59No!
44:59Bad Rachel!
45:01She grabbed whatever
45:01she could reach
45:02and threw it at me.
45:04Dad shielded her
45:05and roared at me.
45:06It's just a bracelet.
45:08You're not going to die
45:09without it.
45:10I could barely feel
45:11the things hitting me.
45:11It felt like something sharp
45:13had gone straight
45:13through my chest.
45:14I glared at him.
45:16Grandma left that to me!
45:19It's the only thing
45:20I have from her!
45:21It's mine!
45:26Dad paused.
45:27Then his expression
45:28hardened again.
45:29Your grandmother is dead.
45:30Are you really going to
45:31tear this family apart
45:32over a bracelet?
45:34She was Mia's grandmother too.
45:36God, do you have to be jealous
45:37of everything she has?
45:38I ignored him
45:39and lunged for Mia's wrist.
45:41Mia screamed
45:42and swung at me.
45:42She lost her balance
45:43and fell to the floor.
45:44The bracelet shattered
45:45into pieces.
45:46My throat tightened.
45:47I tasted blood.
45:50I dropped down
45:51and tried to gather
45:51the pieces.
45:52Blood covered my fingertips.
45:54The next second,
45:55my brother hauled me up.
45:56Pain exploded
45:57across my face.
45:58The sound silenced everyone.
46:00He had me by the throat,
46:01squeezing hard.
46:02Have you lost your mind?
46:04He kicked the broken pieces
46:06toward me.
46:06Then he shoved my face
46:08down onto the broken pieces.
46:10Someone needs to
46:11teach you a lesson.
46:11The shard scraped
46:12across my face,
46:13sending a sharp pain
46:14through me.
46:15Damien looked at me.
46:16For a second,
46:16a flicker of pity
46:17crossed his eyes.
46:18His foot moved.
46:19Then Mia started crying.
46:20Damien, I'm scared!
46:21Damien looked away.
46:23He immediately turned around
46:24and draped a jacket
46:25over her shoulders.
46:27Mom covered her face
46:28and cried.
46:29All you've ever cared about
46:31is that dead grandmother.
46:33God knows what that old woman
46:34did to make you like this.
46:36Rachel,
46:36get on your knees
46:37and apologize
46:38to your brother and sister
46:40and swear you'll never
46:41take their things again.
46:43Otherwise,
46:44get the hell out of this house!
46:46Mom looked at the scrape
46:47on Mia's wrist with concern.
46:49And you're buying Mia
46:50a new gold bracelet?
46:51Look how badly you scared her.
46:53If you don't,
46:54you're no daughter of mine.
46:55I looked at them.
46:55The last bit of hope
46:56I had for this family disappeared.
46:58Okay.
46:59Mom didn't hear me.
47:00Apologize louder.
47:01My brother frowned.
47:02My mouth tasted like blood.
47:03I looked at them.
47:04I said, okay.
47:06We're done.
47:07I'm done with this family.
47:12After a car accident,
47:14my little sister
47:15was mentally stuck at seven.
47:17The whole family
47:18played make-believe with her.
47:19Mom was the gentle queen.
47:20My brother was the handsome knight.
47:22But I had to wear
47:2330-pound leg weights
47:24and play the evil cripple.
47:25Until I met my boyfriend,
47:27Damien Moretti.
47:27He gently unfastened the weights
47:29around my legs and murmured,
47:30Rachel,
47:31from now on,
47:32you're the only one
47:33I'll ever put first.
47:35But when I brought him home,
47:36Mia insisted he play a prince.
47:39You must marry me!
47:40I helplessly asked him
47:41to humor her.
47:42Damien reluctantly
47:43picked up the toy sword
47:44and played along.
47:45Again and again.
47:47Before our wedding,
47:48I thought I could
47:49finally escape this family.
47:50But Mia clung
47:51to my wedding dress
47:52and cried.
47:53You're the evil witch!
47:54How can you wear
47:55a princess dress?
47:56Dad handed me
47:57a fake crooked nose.
47:58You've played the witch
47:59for years.
48:00What's one more day?
48:02Mom threw me
48:02the leg weights.
48:03There'll be so many
48:04guests tomorrow.
48:05Do you want to trigger
48:06your sister's episode?
48:08My brother held Mia
48:09and looked at me coldly.
48:10Mia's the only princess
48:11around here.
48:11Just let her have this.
48:13I looked helplessly
48:14at Damien,
48:15but he personally
48:16handed me
48:16the witch costume.
48:17Rachel,
48:18just go with it
48:19this once.
48:20Don't upset Mia.
48:21I looked into the eyes
48:22of the man I loved.
48:23That was the moment
48:24I stopped hoping.
48:25I turned to Mia
48:26and took off
48:26my engagement ring.
48:28What kind of princess
48:29doesn't have a diamond ring?
48:30Here,
48:31you can have this too.
48:32Then I pulled out my phone
48:33and booked a one-way flight.
48:36What is it now?
48:39All grown up
48:40and still not as sensible
48:41as our Mia.
48:42Damien gently stroked
48:43Mia's hair.
48:44Mia, sweetheart.
48:45Give me the ring, okay?
48:46Mia shook her head hard.
48:48Damien smiled at her fondly.
48:49Then he fished
48:50a soda can tab
48:51out of the trash
48:52and put it on my finger.
48:54Rachel,
48:55wear this one for now.
48:56It's just a ceremony.
48:58Let her have her fun.
48:59You're my real bride.
49:00A wedding stuff
49:01brought over the menu
49:02they'd finalized.
49:03Mia hated spicy food.
49:05I loved it.
49:06Every dish my family
49:06had picked was mild.
49:07My brother said calmly,
49:10Then you don't eat it.
49:11It's Mia's day too.
49:14This is my wedding!
49:15Mom pressed a hand
49:16on my arm.
49:16Be reasonable.
49:18Stop making
49:18such a big fuss.
49:19The wedding officiant
49:20looked at me awkwardly.
49:22So, uh,
49:23which lady
49:24will be walking
49:24down the aisle?
49:27Mia stared eagerly
49:28at Damien.
49:29He immediately
49:30let go of my hand,
49:31walked over to Mia,
49:32and stroked her hair.
49:35Come on, Rachel.
49:36Be good.
49:36Mia just wants to know
49:37what it feels like.
49:38Before I could say anything,
49:39Mia grabbed my wedding dress
49:41and yanked hard.
49:42The witch is a pig!
49:43Her dress is way too big on me!
49:48I want it smaller!
49:50Of course, sweetheart.
49:52I'll have someone
49:53come alter it right now.
49:55This is my dress.
49:56I waited six months
49:58to have it made.
49:59So buy another one.
50:00There are plenty
50:01of wedding dresses
50:01in stores.
50:03Just because you're big
50:04doesn't mean Mia
50:04should wear something
50:05that doesn't fit.
50:07So I sat below the stage,
50:09holding the ridiculous
50:10witch costume.
50:11I watched Mia
50:12walk down the aisle,
50:13wearing the wedding dress
50:15I'd spent six months
50:16customizing.
50:16She held my favorite
50:17bouquet of white irises,
50:19happily leaning
50:20against Damien's arm.
50:21Mom cried as she filmed them
50:22and posted it
50:23on social media.
50:24My little girl
50:25is all grown up.
50:26I'm so proud.
50:27Dad took Mia's hand
50:28and placed it firmly
50:29into Damien's.
50:31Damien,
50:32I'm trusting her to you.
50:34When the ceremony ended,
50:35Mia excitedly kissed
50:36Damien on the cheek.
50:38Everyone froze.
50:39The staff exchanged looks
50:40before glancing at me.
50:41Damien didn't move.
50:43He only pinched
50:44Mia's cheek helplessly.
50:45Little princess,
50:46we're rehearsing that too?
50:47Your sister's gonna get mad.
50:50The whole family
50:51turned toward me.
50:52I smiled.
50:53It's fine.
50:54I hope they last.
50:55If Damien likes idiots,
50:57that's none of my business.
50:58Mia burst into tears.
51:00Dad immediately
51:01stepped in front of her.
51:02God, Rachel!
51:03You can be so nice
51:05nasty.
51:05How could you say that
51:06about your sister?
51:07Your grandmother
51:08spoiled you rotten.
51:10The next second,
51:11Mia hurled the bouquet at me.
51:12Red blurred my vision
51:14as pain made my knees buckle.
51:16Mia buried herself
51:17in my boyfriend's arms.
51:18Damien can only marry me.
51:21Everyone rushed
51:21to comfort her.
51:22Damien took one step
51:23toward me.
51:24But Mia grabbed
51:25his shirt tightly.
51:26The man who once promised
51:28he'd never let anyone
51:29hurt me again
51:30stopped in his tracks.
51:31Then he turned back
51:32to soothe Mia.
51:33Mia, don't be scared.
51:35I'm here.
51:36At that moment,
51:37my heart went
51:38completely cold.
51:41The second I stood up,
51:42my brother grabbed me
51:43and dragged me
51:44back on stage.
51:45Apologize to Mia!
51:47Dad pointed at me.
51:48If you don't apologize,
51:49don't expect any of us
51:50at your wedding!
51:51My brother sneered.
51:53When the Maretta's
51:53see none of your family there,
51:55you'll be the one embarrassed.
51:56I was the one bleeding.
51:57Yet my own family
51:58was using my wedding
51:59to threaten me.
52:01They knew Damien and I
52:02had been together
52:03for seven years.
52:04They knew how badly
52:05I'd wanted this wedding.
52:06I'd been sending wedding plans
52:08to our family chat
52:09again and again.
52:10My family usually answered
52:11with three dots.
52:12I thought it meant noted.
52:14Turns out,
52:14no one cared.
52:15I couldn't even choose
52:16the food at my own wedding.
52:17They didn't care about my wedding.
52:18They didn't care about me.
52:19I was done arguing.
52:21I looked at Mia.
52:23I'm sorry.
52:24Blood ran from my temple
52:26and dripped onto the floor.
52:27Mom spoke coldly.
52:28Mia didn't hear you.
52:29Damien sighed.
52:32Rachel,
52:32you shouldn't have said that.
52:33Apologize properly.
52:35Stop throwing a fit.
52:36So I said it again.
52:37And again.
52:38I'm sorry.
52:38By the hundredth apology,
52:39my throat was so dry
52:41I could almost taste blood.
52:42I'm sorry.
52:44Mia finally smiled.
52:46She grabbed a cup of yogurt,
52:47dumped it over my head
52:48and giggled.
52:50Rachel, eat.
52:52Yogurt ran down my neck,
52:53cold and sticky.
52:54Mom sighed
52:55and wiped the blood
52:56from my temple.
52:57We love both of you.
52:59We're just trying to be fair.
53:01But I could barely breathe.
53:02I collapsed to my knees.
53:04My brother looked at me coldly.
53:05Mia's still upset.
53:07You should apologize again.
53:08He kicked me.
53:10Stop faking.
53:11Get up and apologize.
53:12My vision went black.
53:15When I woke up again,
53:17I saw a hospital ceiling.
53:18Damien was beside me.
53:19The second he saw my eyes open,
53:21concern covered his face.
53:23Rachel, you're awake.
53:25Are you feeling okay?
53:27There was a trace of guilt
53:28in his voice.
53:29Mia was crying so hard
53:30that everyone forgot
53:31you're allergic to dairy.
53:33Apparently,
53:33after I passed out,
53:34my family insisted
53:35I was pretending.
53:36It wasn't until
53:37a waitress screamed,
53:38She's breaking out in hives!
53:40that Damien realized
53:41I could barely breathe.
53:43Why didn't you tell anyone
53:44you were allergic to dairy?
53:45My brother walked in
53:47carrying fruit.
53:48He sounded annoyed.
53:49I'd told them
53:49countless times.
53:50When Mia got sick
53:51as a child,
53:52my parents dumped me
53:54on Grandma.
53:54Whenever they favored Mia,
53:56Grandma would throw them out.
53:57But when I was seven,
53:58Grandma passed away.
53:59Rachel,
54:00I won't be here
54:01to protect you anymore.
54:03Be brave, sweetheart.
54:06Damien,
54:06the engagement is over.
54:09You're mad at me?
54:10I only went along
54:11with Mia for your sake.
54:12Oh, please.
54:13You're calling off
54:14the wedding over this?
54:15Who are you kidding?
54:19You're just exhausted.
54:21After the wedding,
54:22I'll take you abroad
54:22for our honeymoon.
54:23Just two of us.
54:24Mia won't come.
54:25Okay?
54:25I glanced at Damien's phone.
54:27A flight booking page
54:28was open.
54:29My heart loosened a little.
54:30I was about to speak
54:31when Mia called.
54:32Her voice came through
54:33sweet and tearful.
54:34Damien,
54:35where are you?
54:36Damien always looked
54:37indifferent toward everyone,
54:38but now his eyes softened
54:39as he listened to her.
54:40Mia, sweetheart.
54:41I'll be right back.
54:42He looked at me
54:43as if nothing was wrong.
54:44I have to go.
54:45Get some rest.
54:45We'll push the wedding
54:46back two weeks.
54:47You're in no condition
54:47to attend right now.
54:50Yeah.
54:51Let me handle the rest.
54:52You just worry
54:53about getting better.
54:58Bitterness flooded my chest.
55:00I called my former boss.
55:01You mentioned sending me
55:02to Europe.
55:03I'll take it.
55:04If all I could ever be
55:05in this family
55:05was the evil
55:06supporting character,
55:07then I would leave
55:08and become the lead
55:09in my own life.
55:12I spent two weeks
55:13recovering in the hospital
55:14Every day,
55:15I saw updates
55:16about my wedding.
55:17The simple venue
55:17I'd chosen
55:18was replaced
55:18with Mia's favorite
55:19princess pink theme.
55:21Dreamy balloons
55:22covered everything.
55:23Mom and dad watched
55:24as Mia twirled around
55:25in my wedding dress.
55:26My brother posted
55:27ten videos a day.
55:28He captioned it,
55:29My little crybaby
55:30is finally wearing
55:31a wedding dress.
55:32Your big brother
55:32is so proud.
55:33People we knew
55:34messaged me
55:35one after another,
55:36completely confused.
55:37Rachel,
55:38is your sister
55:38getting married with you?
55:39I didn't answer.
55:40I took a cab home.
55:42Damien was peeling
55:43an apple for Mia.
55:44When he saw me,
55:45he instinctively
55:46kept me outside.
55:47Why are you back?
55:48I need some clothes.
55:50Damien visibly relaxed.
55:52He lowered his voice.
55:53Mia still hasn't
55:54forgiven you.
55:55Stay at the hospital.
55:56I've already covered everything.
55:57I didn't answer.
55:58I went to my room,
56:00packed my things
56:00and took my passport
56:01and other important papers.
56:03Then I reached
56:03into the back of my closet
56:04and pulled out
56:05a small jewelry box.
56:07I opened it,
56:09but the bracelet inside
56:10was gone.
56:16My head went blank.
56:18It was the only thing
56:19Grandma had left me.
56:21I walked into the living room.
56:23Sure enough,
56:24it was on Mia's wrist.
56:26Dad didn't even look up.
56:28She found it a few days ago
56:30and liked it.
56:31Don't fight with her over it.
56:32My brother smiled at Mia.
56:33Look how pretty you are.
56:35Who's my one and only princess?
56:36Mia proudly held up her wrist.
56:38I walked over
56:39and held out my hand.
56:40My voice was hoarse.
56:43Give me the bracelet.
56:44Mia looked scared
56:45and burrowed into Mom's arms.
56:47No!
56:47Bad Rachel!
56:49She grabbed whatever
56:49she could reach
56:50and threw it at me.
56:52Dad shielded her
56:53and roared at me.
56:54It's just a bracelet.
56:56You're not going to die
56:57without it.
56:58I could barely feel
56:59the things hitting me.
56:59It felt like something sharp
57:01had gone straight
57:01through my chest.
57:02I glared at him.
57:04Grandma left that to me!
57:06It's the only thing
57:08I have from her!
57:09It's mine!
57:14Dad paused.
57:15Then his expression
57:16hardened again.
57:17Your grandmother is dead.
57:18Are you really going to
57:19tear this family apart
57:20over a bracelet?
57:22She was Mia's grandmother too.
57:24God, do you have to be jealous
57:25of everything she has?
57:26I ignored him
57:27and lunged for Mia's wrist.
57:29Mia screamed
57:30and swung at me.
57:30She lost her balance
57:31and fell to the floor.
57:32The bracelet shattered
57:33into pieces.
57:34My throat tightened.
57:35I tasted blood.
57:38I dropped down
57:39and tried to gather
57:39the pieces.
57:40Blood covered my fingertips.
57:42The next second
57:42my brother hauled me up.
57:44Pain exploded
57:45across my face.
57:46The sound silenced everyone.
57:48He had me by the throat
57:49squeezing hard.
57:50Have you lost your mind?
57:52He kicked the broken pieces
57:54toward me.
57:54Then he shoved my face
57:56down onto the broken pieces.
57:58Someone needs to
57:58teach you a lesson.
57:59The shard scraped
58:00across my face
58:01sending a sharp pain
58:02through me.
58:03Damien looked at me.
58:04For a second
58:04a flicker of pity
58:05crossed his eyes.
58:06His foot moved.
58:07Then Mia started crying.
58:08Damien, I'm scared!
58:09Damien looked away.
58:11He immediately turned around
58:12and draped a jacket
58:13over her shoulders.
58:15Mom covered her face
58:16and cried.
58:17All you've ever cared about
58:19is that dead grandmother.
58:21God knows what that old woman
58:22did to make you like this.
58:24Rachel,
58:24get on your knees
58:25and apologize
58:26to your brother and sister
58:28and swear you'll never
58:29take their things again.
58:31Otherwise,
58:32get the hell out
58:33of this house!
58:34Mom looked at the scrape
58:35on Mia's wrist with concern.
58:37And you're buying Mia
58:38a new gold bracelet?
58:39Look how badly
58:40you scared her.
58:41If you don't,
58:42you're no daughter of mine.
58:43I looked at them.
58:43The last bit of hope
58:44I had for this family
58:45disappeared.
58:46Okay.
58:47Mom didn't hear me.
58:48Apologize louder.
58:49My brother frowned.
58:50My mouth tasted like blood.
58:52I looked at them.
58:52I said okay.
58:54We're done.
58:55I'm done with this family.
58:56I'm done with this family.
58:56I'm done with this family.
