00:00On my wedding day, Julian Crest and his twin brother Jay arrived together.
00:04They wear identical wedding suits and have the same hairstyle.
00:08Lily, can you tell which one is me?
00:12In my last life, I recognized Julian at once.
00:15He led me onto the wedding stage and promised to love me forever.
00:19After the wedding, he doted on me beyond reason and I thought that was happiness.
00:24Then his college junior Serena died on a cruise during a tsunami.
00:29Julian went mad and pushed me off the building.
00:32If only you had picked the wrong man that day, I'd have been traveling the world with Serena.
00:37She wouldn't have died.
00:39Lily, why did you have to recognize me?
00:42When I opened my eyes again, I was back before the ceremony.
00:46This time, I walked straight to Jay and hugged him without hesitation.
00:50How could I ever not recognize you?
00:53Julian let out a quiet breath of relief.
00:55He didn't see Jay's arms tighten around me, or the ambition behind his eyes.
01:01You guessed right.
01:05Lily, the ceremony is about to start.
01:07You two go ahead.
01:09I need to change out of these clothes.
01:11I took Jay's arm and walked out, pretending to know nothing.
01:14At the door, we ran into Serena.
01:19Lily, wish you and Julian a lifetime of happiness.
01:22She was mocking me for picking the wrong groom.
01:25But in my last life, she wiped her tears and ran away.
01:29At the time, Julian had explained to me that Serena was emotionally unstable because her work wasn't going well.
01:35I believed him and didn't think more about it.
01:39Only after Julian killed me did I learn that he had made a bet with Serena.
01:43If I failed to recognize him at the wedding, he would travel the world with Serena for three months with
01:50Jay's identity.
01:51That was his way of making up for not being able to be with Serena.
01:57After three months, he and Jay would switch back and pretend nothing had happened.
02:02This time, I'd oblige them.
02:10I hope you get everything you're wishing for.
02:12I did not wait for her answer, taking Jay's hand and walking toward the wedding stage.
02:20The big screen behind us showed my name and Julian's, but Julian and Serena sat together and leaned close in
02:27the audience.
02:28It was as if this wedding had nothing to do with him.
02:31The ceremony reached its final moment.
02:33Now, please let the bride and groom embrace.
02:37I leaned into Jay's chest and looked toward the guests.
02:41In my last life, Julian had held me like this and kissed me.
02:44Lily, I finally made you mine.
02:47But now, he was holding another woman under the stage.
02:50When our eyes met, Julian instinctively let go of Serena's hand.
02:54Then he saw Jay beside me and remembered the switch.
02:57He touched his nose awkwardly.
02:59Serena stared at the hand he had shaken off.
03:02Then she suddenly stood and shouted toward the stage.
03:06A hug is boring.
03:07Why not kiss?
03:10Kiss! Kiss!
03:11You're married now?
03:13What are you shy about?
03:14Julian shoved his chair back and pulled Serena down into her seat.
03:18Come on, don't push them.
03:19They don't like PDA.
03:20A month ago, during the wedding rehearsal, Julian had told the officiant to skip the kiss.
03:25So he had already planned to let Jay stand in for him.
03:28Realizing that, I hooked a finger into Jay's tie, rose on my toes and kissed him.
03:35Lily!
03:36Lily!
03:37Julian kicked his chair aside angrily and rushed onto the stage.
03:40In front of all the guests, he grabbed my arm and pulled me away from Jay.
03:45Lily, are you crazy?
03:46How could you kiss him?
03:49I kissed my husband at my own wedding.
03:52Why are you so angry?
03:53Take it easy, Jay.
03:55I know it's hard watching your big brother get married, but Lily is my wife now.
03:59Mind your manners.
04:01Jay licked the corner of his mouth where my lipstick left a mark like he was savoring it.
04:07That's not how this works!
04:11Before he could finish, Serena rushed onto the stage.
04:15Enough!
04:18Julian, whatever this is, say it after the wedding.
04:20Can't you see the guests and the press watching?
04:22Julian looks toward the audience.
04:26Hundreds of guests were staring at him, and the cameras were all pointed at the stage.
04:31Julian finally realized how impulsive he had been.
04:35If the press found out that he had used his twin brother as a stand-in at his wedding,
04:39the whole company would be dragged into scandal.
04:42After Julian forced himself to calm down, Serena turned to the guests.
04:46Jay is just emotional because he's too much to drink and got carried away.
04:51Please, everyone, enjoy the reception.
04:53It was just a misunderstanding.
04:54The officiant quickly steps in.
04:56It seems the Kress brothers really care about each other.
04:59Now, let's continue the celebration.
05:00Before stepping off the stage, Julian stared coldly at Jay.
05:05We're not done.
05:06Jay smiles calmly, but his eyes are cold.
05:09The wedding hall is still warm and lively,
05:12but the private lounge was completely different.
05:15Julian throws a glass at Jay's feet.
05:18Shards fly up and cut Jay's cheek.
05:20Jay, I told you to stand in for the wedding, not actually marry her!
05:24Lily doesn't know the truth.
05:26Do you think you don't either?
05:28When she kissed you, why didn't you stop her?
05:31You look like you were enjoying it.
05:35Push her away?
05:36So tomorrow's headline says the Kress family humiliated the Wallace family at the wedding?
05:42Or that the Kress heir rebelled against his own wedding?
05:45Or that the Kress heir rebelled against his own wedding?
05:51Don't think I can't see what you're doing.
05:53You agreed to help me just because you never gave up on Lily, right?
05:56Don't think you can just step in and take her.
06:04I already arranged an overseas project for you.
06:06Well, your flight leaves tonight.
06:09When you come back three months later, everything goes back to normal.
06:13I'm the one inheriting Kress group, and Lily's husband can only be me.
06:18I heard every word through the door,
06:20but Julian didn't know that whoever I married would become the Kress heir.
06:24Years ago, their grandfather asked me to choose between Julian and Jay.
06:28The three of us had grown up together, and I knew both brothers liked me.
06:33In the end, I chose Julian because of an accident.
06:37When I was 18, I was kidnapped and almost killed.
06:40Just as the kidnappers were about to silence me,
06:43Julian took the blade for me and saved my life.
06:47After I got out of the hospital, I told Mr. Kress I would marry Julian.
06:51The day our engagement was announced, Julian was named the Kress heir.
06:55He saved me once, and I paid him back in my previous life,
06:59so now we were even footsteps approach the door.
07:02I stepped away and took out my phone.
07:05Help me set up a private meeting with Mr. Kress.
07:07That night, Jay ignored Julian's order and never got on the plane.
07:11Instead, he went to the Kress estate.
07:13When he opened the door, I was lying on the sofa with a glass of wine.
07:17My heart moved for a second, but I sat up and poured him a glass of wine.
07:21Drink.
07:22Drink.
07:23Jay took the glass, but his eyes stayed on the wine still wet on my lips.
07:27What I want isn't just the wine.
07:33Lily?
07:34Jay leaned down, held my face, and kissed me.
07:37Maybe it was the wine, or maybe I simply didn't want to push him away.
07:41I didn't push him away.
07:43Instead, I rose on my toes and answered his kiss.
07:46Jay took that as permission and became bolder.
07:49From the living room to the bedroom, and from the sofa to the bed.
07:53Right before the last step, Jay suddenly stopped.
07:56He cupped my cheek.
07:58His eyes were complicated, holding back something that looked like want.
08:03Lily, do you know who I am?
08:07Jay.
08:09The next morning, Jay's phone woke me up.
08:12Julian's voice came through the speaker, sharp with anger.
08:17Jay, the project manager said you never got on the flight.
08:19Where the hell are you?
08:22It was my wedding night.
08:23Where else would I be?
08:24Jay, don't joke with me.
08:25Get on a plane right now.
08:28I'm on the yacht right now.
08:29I'm about to lose signal.
08:30I was half asleep and mumbled.
08:32So noisy.
08:36Was that Lily?
08:41Before Jay could answer, the call cut off.
08:44The signal must have dropped on Julian's end.
08:46But that call had ruined any chance of going back to sleep.
08:49I felt Jay's heated gaze on me from above.
08:52Thinking about last night.
09:00My face burned all the way to my ears.
09:03Jay looked at me and asked,
09:05Lily, you knew it was me from the beginning, didn't you?
09:08I've never mixed you two up.
09:10Not once.
09:14Although they had the exact same face,
09:16I could tell them apart with just one glance.
09:19Then why did you choose me yesterday?
09:21I looked at the hope in his eyes and told him the truth.
09:24Because you were the groom I chose?
09:29So Julian thought he was clever.
09:31He planned the whole thing and got played instead.
09:35But that afternoon, Julian,
09:37who should have been on a cruise with Serena,
09:39appeared in the Crest Estate.
09:41Julian grabbed Jay by the shoulder
09:42and dragged him toward the bathroom.
09:44Jay, switch clothes with me right now.
09:47I need my identity back.
09:51At the same time, Serena pushed past the housekeeper
09:53and rushed in.
09:54She ignored me
09:55and went straight to knock on the bathroom door.
10:02Today is my birthday.
10:04Will you spend it with me?
10:05Please.
10:08This was my birthday wish from last year.
10:10You promised, remember?
10:12Just spoil me one last time.
10:14A year ago today,
10:16I was rushed to the hospital after a car accident.
10:19Julian said he was abroad on business,
10:21but actually he had been with Serena for her birthday.
10:26The bathroom door opened.
10:28Julian walked out.
10:31Seeing Serena crying,
10:32Julian pulled her into his arms.
10:34Stop crying.
10:36I promise.
10:37I knew you couldn't leave me.
10:39Jay glanced at them,
10:40then walked back to me.
10:41Lily.
10:42Lily.
10:43Lily.
10:46Since it's Serena's birthday,
10:48why don't the four of us celebrate together?
10:50He looked at Jay.
10:51Bro,
10:52Serena was your college junior.
10:53You don't mind, right?
10:55Jay ignored the threat
10:56and turned to me.
10:57Honey, what do you think?
10:58I took Jay's arm
10:59and shook my head.
11:00No thanks.
11:01We're going to register
11:02our marriage this afternoon.
11:04In my last life,
11:05Julian kept saying
11:06marriage certificates
11:07felt like a cage.
11:09He pushed it off
11:10again and again
11:11because he was afraid
11:12Serena would be upset.
11:13But Jay was different.
11:15He wanted our marriage official.
11:20You're registering today?
11:21Well, then we won't hold you up.
11:23On his way out,
11:24he slipped his ID
11:24into Jay's jacket pocket.
11:27Julian leaned close to Jay
11:28and lowered his voice.
11:30I know you're standing up for Lily
11:31and I know that fake audio this morning
11:33was just to mess with me.
11:34But I never betrayed her.
11:36I only wanted to travel
11:37with Serena as a friend.
11:38After today,
11:39we switch back.
11:40I'll make it up to Lily.
11:41Register the marriage under my name
11:42and I won't hold this morning's stunt
11:44against you.
11:46After they left,
11:48Jay took Julian's ID
11:49out of his pocket
11:50and threw it into the trash.
11:51Only then did I understand
11:53that Julian still thought
11:54Jay was following his plan.
11:55He had no idea
11:56that both I and press group
11:58were already out of his hands.
12:00At the county clerk's office,
12:01everything moved quickly.
12:02We fill out forms,
12:04sign papers,
12:05and hand over our ID.
12:06The clerk stamped the documents soon.
12:09The marriage certificates
12:09were placed in our hands.
12:11Right then,
12:12Julian's message came in.
12:15Jay,
12:16did you get the certificate with Lily?
12:17Send me a photo.
12:19Do this for me
12:19and once I inherit press group,
12:21I'll split everything with you.
12:22Jay took two photos
12:23and sent them to Julian.
12:25The first was a photo
12:26of us holding hands.
12:29The second was a close-up
12:31of the marriage certificate.
12:32A second later,
12:33Julian called.
12:43What the hell is this?
12:44Why are you holding Lily's hand?
12:46Don't think you can disgust me
12:48with a staged photo like this, Jay.
12:50Lily is my wife.
12:53Before Jay could answer,
12:55she leaned into Julian's arms
12:56and ended the call for him.
13:01Today is my birthday
13:02and you promised this last day
13:04that Jay was completely mine.
13:05I don't want to hear
13:06another woman's name.
13:10Maybe Jay is only trying
13:11to provoke you.
13:16Even if he sent a photo
13:17of them holding hands,
13:18the marriage certificate
13:19is still yours.
13:22Come on.
13:23We're boarding soon.
13:24Serena deleted Jay's chat thread
13:26from Julian's phone.
13:28Julian never saw
13:29the second photo
13:30that had just finished loading.
13:31On that marriage certificate,
13:33the groom's name
13:34was clearly printed
13:35as Jay Crest.
13:38Serena's words
13:38slowly calmed Julian down.
13:40She was right
13:41that no matter
13:42what Jay did,
13:43the man who registered
13:44the marriage with Lily
13:45was him.
13:46Julian picked up his phone
13:47wanting to check
13:48the certificate photo again,
13:50but Serena
13:50suddenly grabbed his hand.
13:53Julian, the yacht is here.
13:55Julian turned
13:55to look at her.
14:00Serena ran
14:01onto the yacht
14:02and spread her arms
14:03toward the sea.
14:04Then she looked back
14:05at him and smiled.
14:07Julian, thank you
14:07for spending my birthday
14:08with me.
14:09Julian stood there
14:10watching her.
14:11For a moment,
14:12he remembered
14:13the first time they met.
14:15He had gone back
14:16to his old university
14:17for a Crest Group
14:18charity event.
14:19Serena was one
14:20of the scholarship students.
14:22Everyone else
14:23called him Mr. Crest.
14:25Only Serena
14:25called him Julian.
14:27Like they were
14:27already close.
14:29She walked around
14:30campus with him
14:31and took him
14:32to the dining hall
14:33for lunch.
14:36Don't tell me
14:36the famous
14:37is Julian vegetables.
14:38Looking at her smile,
14:39vegetables did not
14:40taste so bad
14:41for once.
14:42Later,
14:42he learned
14:43they had studied
14:44the same major.
14:45They exchanged numbers
14:46but Serena
14:47never contacted him first.
14:52Two months later,
14:54she suddenly called him
14:55crying.
14:58When Julian rushed over,
15:00Serena was holding
15:01a small birthday cake.
15:02Sorry,
15:03I didn't mean
15:04to bother you.
15:05It's my birthday
15:06and I didn't want
15:07to be alone.
15:11I went through
15:12everyone I could think of.
15:14You were the only
15:15person I could ask.
15:17Will you spend
15:18my birthday with me?
15:19At that moment,
15:20Julian softened.
15:21He promised
15:22he would spend
15:23every birthday
15:24with her from then on.
15:25Julian,
15:26thank you for spending
15:26my birthday with me.
15:35Julian turned off
15:36his phone,
15:37put it away,
15:38and stepped onto
15:38the yacht.
15:39This was his last
15:40birthday with Serena.
15:43Then he and Jay
15:44would switch back.
15:45Everything would
15:46return to normal
15:47and Lily would
15:48never know.
15:50The yacht left
15:51the harbor
15:51as night fell.
15:57Serena,
15:58happy birthday.
16:00Thank you, Julian.
16:01They drank
16:02and talked all evening.
16:04From how they met
16:04to everything
16:05that had happened
16:05since.
16:10I won the bet,
16:11but I guess
16:11I'll have to travel
16:12the world alone.
16:13Julian,
16:14if I had met you
16:15first,
16:16would things
16:17be different?
16:18Julian looked
16:19at the longing
16:19in her eyes,
16:20but Lily's face
16:21appeared in his mind.
16:23When Lily agreed
16:24to the engagement,
16:25he once asked her
16:25how could she always
16:26tell he and Jay apart.
16:28Lily only smiled
16:29and said it was a secret.
16:35Back then,
16:36Julian had not cared,
16:37but now everything
16:38since the wedding
16:39felt wrong.
16:40Lily chose Jay,
16:41stayed strangely calm
16:42through the ceremony
16:43and she had rushed
16:44to make the marriage
16:45official.
16:47Had Lily chosen
16:48the wrong man
16:49on purpose
16:50and already found out,
16:54Julian?
16:56Yeah?
16:57It's time for me
16:57to blow out the candle
16:58and make a wish.
17:01To him,
17:02Serena and Lily
17:03had always been
17:04completely different.
17:06Lily was quiet
17:07and steady
17:08because she had never
17:09cried in front of him.
17:11Serena was warm,
17:12fragile,
17:13and always turned to him
17:14when she broke down.
17:16For years,
17:17he had put Serena first
17:18and ignored Lily's feelings.
17:20Sometimes,
17:21he could not even tell
17:22who he truly cared about.
17:26But now,
17:27he finally knew
17:28he loved Lily
17:28and could not
17:29keep betraying her.
17:35Julian takes out
17:36his phone,
17:37ready to call Jay
17:37to switch back tonight.
17:39But Serena suddenly
17:40opened her eyes
17:41and blew out the candle.
17:45My wish this year
17:46is for you
17:47to be my boyfriend
17:48for one day.
17:50You know me.
17:52I don't believe in marriage.
17:54I just want to know
17:55what it feels like.
17:58Is my birthday wish
18:00too much?
18:01I can make another wish.
18:03I'll do it.
18:05I'll stay with you
18:06for one day
18:07and go back tomorrow.
18:08This was the last birthday
18:10Julian would spend
18:11with Serena
18:11and the last birthday wish
18:13he would ever grant her.
18:14It was only one more night.
18:16He and Lily
18:17had countless days
18:18ahead of them.
18:19One night would not matter.
18:20That was how Julian
18:21convinced himself.
18:23Then thank you
18:24my boyfriend.
18:25Julian raised his glass
18:27and drank it all.
18:32He had no idea
18:33how he ended up
18:34in the yacht's bedroom
18:35that night.
18:35He only remembered
18:36drinking one more glass
18:38before the world spun
18:39and went black.
18:41When he opened his eyes
18:43his head was splitting
18:44and his throat was so dry
18:45he could barely speak.
18:47Water.
18:48Serena got up
18:49and handed him
18:49a glass of warm water
18:50from the nightstand.
18:51Julian you're awake.
18:53Julian took the glass
18:54and drank it down.
18:55When he finally
18:56came back to himself
19:00he tried hard
19:02to remember
19:02what had happened
19:03last night.
19:04But after that last glass
19:05there was nothing.
19:07Still everything
19:08in front of him
19:08told him how far
19:09things had gone.
19:11Julian got out of bed
19:12in a panic
19:12and pulls on the clothes
19:13scattered across the floor.
19:23Julian rushed on to the deck
19:25but all he could see
19:26was the open sea.
19:31The captain followed him out
19:32and explained
19:33Mr. Crest
19:34we hit a tsunami last night
19:36and had to leave
19:36our original route.
19:37The yacht was damaged
19:38by the waves.
19:40We can't return
19:41until the repairs are done.
19:45Then why didn't you call
19:46for sea rescue?
19:48He pulled out his phone
19:49and opened Lily's
19:50social media.
19:52One minute ago
19:52Lily had posted
19:53a photo with Jay.
19:55They looked impossibly close.
19:56That photo instantly
19:57set off Julian's anger.
20:01He had clearly warned Jay
20:03not to use his identity
20:04to get close to Lily.
20:05He was about to call Jay
20:07but the call
20:08would not go through.
20:10Mr. Crest
20:11the signal receiver
20:12suddenly broke.
20:13We can't contact anyone
20:14outside right now.
20:16Julian punched the railing
20:17blood running down his knuckles
20:19and dripping onto the deck.
20:21Serena stepped forward
20:22and carefully wrapped his hand
20:23with a towel.
20:26Julian why don't you
20:27run away with me?
20:32Julian pulled his hand back
20:33and put distance between them.
20:36When the yacht is fixed
20:37and we get back to shore
20:40we stopped contacting each other.
20:43Last night was an accident.
20:46Julian you're shameless!
20:50Didn't you say
20:50you were tired
20:51of your rich family life
20:52and wanted something ordinary?
20:55You clearly had feelings
20:57for me long ago.
21:00Why won't you admit it?
21:02That was just something
21:03I said when I was upset.
21:06How could you take it seriously?
21:12He had grown up
21:13in a world of money and power
21:15surrounded by people
21:16with hidden motives.
21:17What he told Serena
21:18had only been complaints
21:19when he was frustrated.
21:21There was no way
21:21he would give up everything
21:22he had to live
21:23in ordinary life.
21:24He had worked so hard
21:25to make Lily choose him.
21:27He had already married Lily
21:29and believed the certificate
21:30was under his name.
21:31All he wanted now
21:32was to get back to her
21:33and live properly with her.
21:40I never said I loved you.
21:42If anything I did
21:43made you misunderstand
21:44I'm sorry.
21:48I can't take responsibility
21:49for last night.
21:52If you want money
21:53name your price
21:54I'll make sure
21:54you're taken care of.
21:56Serena had not expected
21:57him to be this cold.
21:58I don't want your money.
21:59When the yacht docks
22:01just go.
22:02Julian saw that she was
22:04not going to push further
22:05and the tension
22:06in his shoulders eased.
22:07Then he turned
22:08and walked toward
22:09the dining room.
22:10He had spent years
22:11in high society
22:12and had survived
22:12more drinking nights
22:13than he could count.
22:14A few glasses of wine
22:16would not make him
22:16black out like that.
22:18He did not believe
22:18he had betrayed Lily
22:19by choice.
22:20Someone who must have
22:21drugged the drinks.
22:22He needed proof.
22:23Lily had told him before
22:24that betrayal was the one
22:26thing she would never forgive.
22:28If she ever found out
22:29about last night
22:30he needed something
22:31to explain himself.
22:33But the dining table
22:34had already been cleared.
22:35Every bottle from last night
22:37was gone.
22:38Julian was about to head
22:39to the kitchen
22:39when shouting broke out
22:40on deck.
22:41Miss Serena!
22:46Mr. Kress come quick!
22:49Serena stood outside
22:50the deck railing
22:51swaying over the seat.
22:53The crew tried to move closer.
22:55Stay back!
22:56One more step
22:57and I jump!
23:03Serena, get back
23:04on deck first.
23:05Whatever you want to say,
23:06say it where it's safe.
23:09I'm not doing this for fun.
23:11I've been by your side
23:12for years.
23:13What was I to you?
23:15I won the bet
23:16but you still choose Lily?
23:18What does she have
23:19that I don't?
23:20He had told Serena
23:21from the day they met
23:22that he was already
23:23engaged to Lily.
23:29They came from
23:30completely different worlds
23:31and he thought
23:32Serena should have
23:32known where she stood.
23:34But if he said that now
23:35she might really jump.
23:36Come down.
23:37I'll keep my promise.
23:40You'll travel the world
23:41with me for three months?
23:42I promise.
23:45Julian stepped forward
23:47and pulled Serena
23:48back over the railing.
23:50Serena threw herself
23:50into his arms
23:51and broke down crying.
23:55Julian, do you know
23:55how scared I was
23:56that you'd leave me?
23:58I just want you
23:58to give us
23:59one real chance.
24:01If you still choose Lily
24:03after going back,
24:04I swear I'll never
24:04bother you again.
24:09After that,
24:09Serena stayed around
24:10Julian every day.
24:11They watched the ocean
24:13fished on deck
24:14and talked under the stars.
24:15If this had been before,
24:17Julian would have enjoyed
24:18the slow, quiet time.
24:19He would have seen it
24:20as a break from his busy life.
24:22But now,
24:23Serena kept talking
24:24beside him
24:26and all he felt
24:27was irritation.
24:29He stared at the sea,
24:30thinking only about
24:31what Lily was doing now
24:32and whether she had realized
24:34the man beside her
24:35was actually Jay.
24:36He was afraid
24:37Jay would fail
24:38to hide his feelings
24:39and tell Lily everything.
24:40After that night,
24:41Julian never dared
24:42to drink again
24:43to avoid the same accident
24:44happening twice.
24:46Every morning,
24:46the first thing he did
24:47was check his phone,
24:48but the signal
24:49was always dead.
24:53He lost interest
24:54in everything.
24:56All he wanted
24:57was for the yacht
24:58to be repaired
24:58so he could return to shore.
25:00Serena acted
25:01as if she noticed nothing
25:02and enjoyed the trip.
25:05Day after day passed
25:07and a month went by quickly.
25:10That night,
25:11Julian suddenly woke up
25:12and found Serena missing
25:14from the other bed.
25:15Afraid something had happened,
25:16he got up to look for her.
25:17When he passed
25:18the captain's cabin,
25:20light spilled
25:20through the half-open door.
25:25Miss Serena,
25:26the food and water
25:26won't last much longer.
25:28We need to head back now.
25:31And the money you promised us
25:33for playing along this month,
25:34when are we getting paid?
25:39You'll get paid
25:40the second we dock.
25:41Can't you have someone
25:41bring more food
25:42and water out here?
25:45And remember to turn off
25:46the signal jammer later.
25:51I've been cut off
25:52from the outside world
25:53for a month.
25:54I don't even know
25:55if that stupid woman
25:55has figured out the truth.
25:58Julian kicked the door open.
26:00He stared at Serena,
26:01a vein standing out
26:02on his forehead.
26:05You've been lying to me
26:06from the start?
26:07There was no tsunami
26:08and the yacht
26:09was never broken?
26:10And that day
26:11on the railing?
26:13That was an act two,
26:14wasn't it?
26:18Julian, let me explain.
26:22Take this yacht
26:23back to shore.
26:23Now.
26:24Whatever she promised you,
26:26I'll pay double.
26:28The next time
26:29I saw Julian
26:29was at Crest Group's
26:31annual gala.
26:31old Mr. Crest
26:32had just announced
26:33Jay as the new heir
26:34when Julian
26:36shut the doors open
26:37and stormed in.
26:38Julian threw a punch
26:40at Jay.
26:41Jay,
26:41I was gone for one month
26:43and you talked
26:44Grandfather
26:44into making you
26:45the heir?
26:47I didn't talk him
26:48into anything.
26:49Still lying?
26:51Julian,
26:52have you lost
26:52your mind?
26:54The moment Julian
26:55saw me,
26:56he reached out
26:56to pull me
26:57into his arms.
26:59Lily.
27:02Careful, Julian.
27:04Lily is my wife now.
27:06Your wife?
27:11You only stood in
27:12for the wedding
27:12and the certificate.
27:13Do you really think
27:14you can replace me?
27:18Lily,
27:19don't listen to him.
27:19I can explain everything.
27:21I never did anything
27:22to hurt you.
27:22I only...
27:23I picked the wrong man
27:24on purpose that day.
27:27The groom I chose
27:28was Jay.
27:30Lily,
27:30what are you talking about?
27:33The man who married me
27:34and registered with me
27:34was Jay.
27:35The man I chose
27:36was Jay.
27:37I know about your bet
27:38with Serena.
27:39If I picked the wrong man,
27:40you would get to travel
27:41the world with her
27:42for three months.
27:44There's no need
27:44for all that trouble
27:45anymore, Julian.
27:47From now on,
27:47you can stay with her
27:48as long as you want.
27:58Lily,
27:59don't scare me
28:00like this.
28:02Are you angry with me?
28:03Is that it?
28:05Jay sent you
28:06the marriage certificate
28:06a month ago.
28:11Did you not look at it?
28:12Julian immediately
28:13took out his phone
28:14and checked his chat
28:15with Jay.
28:16The chat was
28:17completely empty.
28:18Only then
28:19did he remember
28:19Serena had taken
28:20his phone
28:21and deleted everything.
28:22If Julian had seen it then,
28:24he could have
28:25stopped everything.
28:26Lily,
28:26I know this is all
28:27my fault,
28:27but wasn't I
28:28the one you loved?
28:29I was so proud
28:30of your situation.
28:31You and Jay only
28:32faked this marriage
28:33to punish me,
28:33right?
28:36Julian,
28:36you can't build
28:37love on a lie.
28:41The person
28:42who saved me
28:42was Jay.
28:45He was the one
28:46I should have chosen
28:46from the start.
28:47Back then,
28:48I had been slipping
28:48in and out of consciousness,
28:50so I never saw
28:51the face of the person
28:52who saved me.
28:53When I woke up
28:53in the hospital,
28:54Julian told me
28:55it was him,
28:56and I never doubted him.
28:57But the moment
28:58I saw the scar
28:59across Jay's abdomen,
29:00every piece
29:01fell into place.
29:02You knew it all.
29:06He never thought
29:07one month
29:08would be enough
29:08to change everything.
29:10Jay had taken
29:11his fiancée
29:12in the Crest Group.
29:13Grandfather,
29:14why?
29:16Lily's parents
29:17once saved me.
29:18I promised them
29:19that whoever
29:19Lily married
29:20would inherit
29:21Crest Group.
29:22Since Lily
29:23married Jay,
29:24Jay is the heir.
29:27Julian,
29:28you wronged Lily
29:29first.
29:29I did not
29:30favor either of you.
29:37Julian was
29:38completely crushed.
29:40Under the strange
29:41looks from the guests,
29:42he turned and fled.
29:44After that,
29:44I did not see
29:45Julian for a long time,
29:47until my birthday.
29:49I was arranging
29:51flowers in the living room
29:52when a pair of arms
29:53wrapped around
29:54my waist from behind.
29:55Lily.
29:58It was not Jay.
30:00I put down the flowers
30:01and pushed him away hard.
30:03Julian!
30:04How did you get in?
30:06Even the guards
30:07in the face scanner
30:08didn't realize
30:08I wasn't Jay.
30:11But you knew
30:12without even looking.
30:17Lily,
30:18happy birthday.
30:28He hesitated
30:28for a long time
30:30before speaking.
30:31A few days ago,
30:32I had a dream.
30:33In the dream,
30:34you chose me
30:35on our wedding day.
30:36We got married
30:37and lived happily together.
30:38Then you found out
30:39Serena died in a tsunami.
30:44You hated me
30:44and blamed me
30:45for her death.
30:46So you pushed me
30:47off a building
30:48to avenge her.
30:53How do you know that?
30:58Because it was
30:58never a dream.
31:00God gave me
31:00another chance.
31:02This time,
31:03I gave you
31:04exactly what you wanted
31:05and didn't choose you.
31:06So why are you
31:06still unhappy?
31:09Because you never
31:09value what you have
31:10until you lose it.
31:11Julian,
31:12you never deserved me.
31:16Lily,
31:16I'm sorry.
31:17I know I hurt you.
31:19In that dream,
31:20after I hurt you,
31:21I found out
31:22Serena never died
31:23and there was no tsunami.
31:28She lied to me
31:29about everything.
31:31I was the fool.
31:33Please give me
31:34one chance
31:34to make it up to you.
31:36Before I could answer,
31:37Jay rushed in
31:38after seeing
31:38the security footage.
31:39You came into my house
31:41to steal my wife?
31:43I don't care
31:43if you're my brother.
31:44I'll still hit you.
31:46Security arrived
31:47and dragged Julian
31:48out of the villa.
31:50After Julian
31:51was taken away,
31:52Jay called
31:52the head of security.
31:54Change the entry system.
31:55From now on,
31:56no one gets in
31:57just because
31:57they have my face.
31:58He also arranged
31:59for a bodyguard
32:00to stay with me.
32:10He glanced at the pearl
32:11necklace Julian
32:12had left on the table
32:13and handed it
32:14to the housekeeper.
32:15Send that back.
32:18Then he took my hand
32:20and led me
32:20into the dining room.
32:21A birthday cake
32:23was waiting on the table.
32:27You remembered?
32:29When have I ever forgotten?
32:30I thought back
32:31to all the birthdays
32:32we had spent together
32:33growing up.
32:34Even after my engagement
32:35to Julian,
32:36Jay had always sent a gift.
32:38I had never thought
32:39much about it.
32:40Jay pulled out a chair
32:41for me
32:41and lit the candles.
32:48Make a wish.
32:53Can I say it out loud?
32:55Anything you want.
32:56I want you beside me
32:58on my birthday next year.
33:04Next year?
33:07Lily, you're getting me
33:08every year.
33:10A month later,
33:11Jay and I held
33:12another wedding.
33:13This time,
33:14everyone knew
33:14who the groom was.
33:16The screen behind us
33:17showed Lily Wallace
33:18and Jay Crest.
33:27Before the ceremony,
33:28Jay found me
33:29in the dressing room.
33:30Are you nervous?
33:32No.
33:33I've already married you once.
33:37That time,
33:38everyone was calling me Julian.
33:41Then listen carefully today.
33:43I'll make sure
33:44they hear your name.
33:51At the ceremony,
33:52the officiant asked
33:53if I would take
33:53Jay Crest
33:54as my husband.
33:56I do.
33:57He slipped the ring
33:58onto my finger
33:59then leaned close.
34:03Lily,
34:04in this life,
34:05I will never let go again.
34:08His words brought back
34:10the last image
34:10from my previous life.
34:12After Julian pushed me
34:13off the building,
34:14someone jumped after me
34:16and tried to grab my hand.
34:17I had never seen
34:18his face clearly.
34:20Now I remembered.
34:21It was Jay.
34:22I caught his hand
34:23and held it tightly.
34:26What's wrong?
34:28Nothing.
34:29I rose on my toes
34:31and kissed him
34:32before the officiant
34:33could ask.
34:35A week after the wedding,
34:36Jay took me
34:37to the ice rink.
34:38I had mentioned
34:39wanting to learn years ago.
34:41I didn't expect him
34:42to remember.
34:43He knelt in front of me
34:44and tightened the laces
34:45on my skates.
34:50Hold my shoulders
34:51when you stand.
34:52Take your time.
34:53I followed him
34:54onto the ice
34:55but my feet
34:55immediately slid apart.
34:57Jay caught my waist
34:58before I fell.
34:59I grabbed his coat
35:00and pressed against him.
35:01You're going to have
35:02to teach me
35:02from the beginning.
35:03He took both my hands
35:04and slowly skated backward.
35:06Keep your knees bent.
35:07I'll stay in front of you.
35:08At first,
35:09I watched my feet.
35:10Then I looked up
35:11and found him watching me.
35:13I tightened my fingers
35:14around his.
35:15By the time we reached
35:16the other side,
35:17I could move
35:17without leaning against him.
35:29We finished another lap together.
35:35Outside, he pulled off his gloves
35:36and warmed my hands
35:37between his.
35:38I stepped closer
35:39and tucked them
35:40inside his coat.
35:41Take me again next weekend.
35:43I want to learn properly.
35:47Then I'll keep Saturday free.
35:49On the way home,
35:50I fell asleep
35:51against his shoulder
35:52while the driver
35:53took us back.
35:55Two months later,
35:57the smell of breakfast
35:57sent me to the bathroom.
35:59Jay followed,
36:00holding my hair
36:01while I leaned over the sink.
36:03I'll call the doctor.
36:04You've felt sick
36:05since yesterday.
36:06My period is late.
36:08Let's buy a pregnancy test first.
36:12He drove me to the pharmacy
36:14and brought me home.
36:15When two lines appeared,
36:17I opened the door
36:17and handed him the test.
36:21You're going to be a father?
36:23Jay looked at it
36:23then broke into a smile.
36:25He caught me around the waist
36:27and kissed me
36:27before I could say anything else.
36:29I laughed against his mouth
36:31and wrapped my arms
36:32around his neck.
36:33We're having a baby, Lily.
36:35I can't wait to tell grandfather.
36:37After the doctor confirms it,
36:38then we'll tell him together.
36:40He kissed me again
36:41and went to get the car keys.
36:45That afternoon,
36:46we left the clinic
36:47with my pregnancy report.
36:52On the way home,
36:54Jay stopped outside a baby store.
36:56We walked in holding hands.
36:58He picked up a pair of tiny socks
37:00and laid them against my palm.
37:02I chose another pair back home.
37:05We put them beside our wedding photo.
37:17By my fifth month,
37:19Jay and I were getting
37:20the nursery ready.
37:21He assembled the crib
37:22while I unpacked
37:23the clothes we had bought.
37:26When he finished,
37:27he moved an armchair
37:28beside the window.
37:29For you.
37:30You can sit here
37:31when you feed the baby.
37:31I sat down to try it,
37:33then suddenly felt something
37:34move inside my belly.
37:36I caught his hand
37:37before he turned away.
37:38Jay, the baby just moved.
37:39Put your hand here.
37:40He knelt beside the chair
37:42and I guided his palm
37:43to the spot.
37:44A few seconds later,
37:45there was another kick.
37:46Jay looked up at me, smiling.
37:48I felt that, Lily.
37:50Our baby just kicked my hand.
37:53He leaned closer to my stomach.
37:56I'm your dad.
37:57Your mother and I
37:58have been getting your room ready.
37:59The baby moved again.
38:01I laughed and ran
38:02my fingers through his hair.
38:03I think you should keep talking.
38:04The baby likes your voice.
38:10That night,
38:11he came to bed
38:12with a children's book.
38:15I leaned against him
38:16while he read
38:17with one of his hands
38:18resting on my stomach.
38:20When the baby kicked again,
38:21he stopped and looked at me.
38:27Keep going.
38:29We're both listening.
38:32Four months later,
38:34contractions woke me one night.
38:36I reached for Jay
38:37and he was awake
38:38before I could call his name.
38:40The baby is coming.
38:42Help me get dressed.
38:44He brought my clothes,
38:45called the driver
38:46and took the hospital bag downstairs.
38:48At the hospital,
38:50he stayed beside me.
38:51When the pain grew stronger,
38:53I gripped his hand
38:53and pulled him closer.
38:55He wiped my forehead
38:56and let me lean against him
38:58between contractions.
38:59Keep holding my hand.
39:00I'm staying with you.
39:05Hours later,
39:06our daughter's cry
39:07filled the room.
39:08Jay smiled at the sound
39:10then bent down
39:11to kiss my forehead.
39:12She's here, Lily.
39:13You did it.
39:18When the nurse brought her over,
39:20he helped me hold her.
39:21I touched her cheek
39:22and looked up at him.
39:26She has your eyes.
39:29He kissed me again
39:30then helped me lie back
39:32while the nurse
39:32placed her in his arms.
39:34When she started crying,
39:35he rocked her gently
39:37and repeated the opening
39:38of the story
39:38he had read to my stomach
39:40every night.
39:41Her crying slowly stopped.
39:43I watched him smiling.
39:45She already knows
39:45her father's voice.
39:48Jay brought her beside my bed
39:49so I could touch her again.
39:51We watched her fall asleep
39:52with her hand
39:53wrapped around his finger.
39:58On my birthday,
39:59Jay came home early
40:00with flowers and a cake.
40:02I was settling our daughter
40:03in her crib
40:04when he appeared
40:05at the nursery door.
40:06Leave dinner to me.
40:07Tonight,
40:08you only have to make a wish.
40:10He took my hand
40:11and led me downstairs.
40:13A few days earlier,
40:14Julian's name
40:15had appeared in the news.
40:16He had killed Serena.
40:17The report said love
40:18had turned into hatred.
40:19I knew he was taking revenge
40:21for the life
40:22before this one.
40:23I had closed the report
40:24without reading further.
40:25Her daughter needed feeding
40:27and Jay was waiting
40:28beside her crib.
40:29Now he pulled out my chair
40:31and kissed me
40:31before sitting down.
40:35When he lit the candles,
40:37crying came to the baby monitor.
40:46Jay went upstairs
40:48and returned with our daughter
40:49against his shoulder.
40:50He rocked her
40:51while I blew out the candles.
40:54Did you make the same wish
40:55as last year?
40:56Last year,
40:57I wanted you here
40:58on my next birthday.
40:59Now I want this every year.
41:01You'll have us beside you
41:02on every birthday, Lily.
41:03Our daughter settled
41:04against his shoulder.
41:05Jay placed her in my arms,
41:07cut the cake
41:07and fed me the first bite.
