00:00Honey, please, call an ambulance.
00:04After my fiancha's childhood friend found out, I was born with a heart condition.
00:09She secretly poured a second high-dose energy drink.
00:12Just to show respect to Charlotte on her big day.
00:15In a panic, I tore open my only emergency medication,
00:18but the water I used to take it had been swapped with more of the same high-caffeine energy drink.
00:23As soon as I swallowed it, a violent wave of nausea hit me.
00:27My vision blurred.
00:29Energy drinks are full of vitamins and caffeine.
00:32They help with hangovers and keep you alert and healthy.
00:35Ethan, your fiancé's acting is incredible.
00:38I've been a doctor for years, and I've never seen anyone react like this
00:42to a little champagne and a harmless energy drink.
00:45Honey, please, call an ambulance. I can't take it anymore.
00:50For a moment, Ethan's expression wavered.
00:52He looked almost worried and even took half a step forward.
00:55Come on, stop pretending.
00:58Nobody dies from a bit of champagne and an energy drink.
01:01Yeah, you're just jealous Charlotte got promoted and didn't want to toast to her.
01:04Ethan's face turned cold again.
01:06Charlotte's a doctor. You'll be fine with her here.
01:09Right?
01:20I invited her because I wanted to fix things between us.
01:26What are you doing?
01:28We just called you out a bit, and now you're trying to post on Instagram to get people to attack
01:32us?
01:35Ethan's face was dark, and he looked at me with a cold glare.
01:40Though his brow tritched and his hand instinctively moved toward his pocket again,
01:45the pain made my vision go black at the edges.
01:48I didn't do anything, Ethan.
01:49I was born with a heart condition.
01:52I think I'm having an attack.
01:56Please, call an ambulance.
01:58Ethan finally noticed something was wrong.
02:02But before he could decide, Charlotte pulled him away.
02:09Ethan, your fiancé's so inconsiderate.
02:12Everyone came here to celebrate my promotion,
02:14but she's jealous and trying to ruin the party they threw for me.
02:17I knew Amelia never liked me.
02:19I invited her because I wanted to fix things between us,
02:23but she didn't appreciate it.
02:26She's showing everyone how nasty she can be.
02:30Ethan, if I'd known this would happen, I would have solely invited you.
02:35You really know how to act, don't you?
02:38Maybe try using that talent for acting instead of scheming
02:42and stirring up trouble.
02:44As a doctor, I can tell when someone's faking it.
02:51But even though it was supposed to be my date with Ethan,
02:55Ethan and Charlotte had grown up together.
02:57They had their own tight circle.
03:00Charlotte was unhappy about it.
03:02She often showed up uninvited whenever Ethan and I went out.
03:08Ethan!
03:11Charlotte's like my sister, don't overthink it.
03:14Amelia, I'm only tagging along to help our friends decide
03:18if you're right for Ethan.
03:19He's already spent enough time on you.
03:22You can't be this greedy.
03:23Charlotte's words made me feel like if I loved Ethan,
03:26I would have to accept all his friends,
03:29even Charlotte herself.
03:31But even though it was supposed to be my date with Ethan,
03:34we ended up doing the things Charlotte liked.
03:37I pulled myself back to the present.
03:39Memories of those suffocating dates flashing through my mind.
03:46I get it, Amelia.
03:48You're so used to being in the spotlight
03:50that you have to steal the show, don't you?
03:53Today, the focus is on me,
03:55and since no one is cheering for you like your fans would,
03:58you're putting on an act just to get attention.
04:01Remember when we were kids?
04:02You said you'd kill anyone who made me unhappy.
04:06Looks like you've changed.
04:13You call yourself the fiancé of a mafia?
04:16The guests at the party sneered at me.
04:18They were all Charlotte and Ethan's friends.
04:21They had always thought I was not good enough for Ethan
04:23and felt nothing but dislike towards me.
04:31Amelia, I know you don't like Charlotte.
04:34I've already tried to keep you away from her,
04:36but her promotion party only lasts one day.
04:39Can't you just bear with it for a few hours?
04:43The sharp taste helped me stay conscious for a few more seconds.
04:47Instead of just begging, a spark of cold anger rose in me.
04:50I started crawling toward the door,
04:52my nails scraping the ground with determination.
04:54I hoped someone outside could help me,
04:56and part of me refused to die quietly in front of them.
05:01What's wrong?
05:02You got exposed,
05:03and now that Ethan won't defend you anymore,
05:05you're embarrassed and trying to run away?
05:09But a couple exchanged uneasy glance.
05:12My weak body hit the champagne tower.
05:14Glasses fell to the ground,
05:16and champagne spilled all over me,
05:18soaking my clothes and mixing with my cold sweat.
05:27You call yourself the fiancé of a mafia boss?
05:30There's a limit to playing the victim.
05:32Look at yourself, all miserable and pathetic.
05:34You're making Ethan look bad.
05:40It's so hot,
05:41and this is an outdoor party.
05:43Ethan, your fiancé's been causing trouble
05:45even before the wedding.
05:47Imagine what she'll be like later.
05:48Today is the perfect chance to teach her a lesson.
05:59Amelia, I've had enough.
06:01Stop pretending and get up!
06:03The next moment, he froze.
06:05My face was deathly pale,
06:08lips turning a faint blue.
06:14Amelia's terrified of pain.
06:16Could it really be?
06:18My mind was already fogging over.
06:21It's so hot,
06:22and this is an outdoor party.
06:25She's suffering from heat strike,
06:26yet she lies on the ground
06:28and continues to pretend.
06:29A cold drink will fix her right up.
06:35Suddenly,
06:36everything went strangely quiet inside me.
06:38My heart no longer raced.
06:40It stuttered in irregular, terrifying beats.
06:45Not because the pain had eased,
06:47but because I seemed to have forgotten how to breathe.
06:51She's not actually dying, is she?
06:56Ethan took a glass of strong whiskey
06:58from a waiter.
07:01Ethan looked at me with worry.
07:03He pushed through the crowd.
07:08Amelia, what's wrong?
07:11Move!
07:12Get out of the way!
07:14Amelia,
07:15your next role is a heroine
07:17with a heart condition?
07:18It's no wonder your act looks so real.
07:23You really fooled everyone.
07:26Your acting is...
07:28impressive.
07:33Ethan glanced at the trailer on Charlotte's phone.
07:36His worry turned to anger.
07:38Amelia,
07:39this is Charlotte's celebration party,
07:40not your personal show.
07:42Get up,
07:43or else...
07:45I was in too much pain to hear the rest.
07:48My face twisted in agony.
07:50Looks like she hasn't changed.
07:52Ethan,
07:52teach her a lesson.
07:54You
07:54are the mafia boss.
07:56How can you let her ruin my party
07:58and make a fool of you?
08:01Listen,
08:02Charlotte is the star today.
08:04Whether you like it or not...
08:12Ethan took a glass of strong whiskey
08:14from a waiter
08:15and held it out to me.
08:20I've known you for a very long time
08:22and never once heard about your heart condition.
08:24Get up
08:25and toast to Charlotte.
08:26I'll overlook the stupid thing you did today.
08:29Tears ran down my face from the pain.
08:31I looked at Ethan's cold,
08:33heartless face
08:34and forced myself to say,
08:37No!
08:39Amelia,
08:40I already finished my drink.
08:46Amelia,
08:47I already finished my drink.
08:49You are really narrow-minded.
08:52Poor Ethan.
08:53He always tries to defend you.
08:55If you love acting so much,
08:56I'll help you.
09:03I struggled.
09:04I could only watch helplessly
09:06as they poured the whiskey
09:07into my mouth.
09:08My heart could not take it.
09:10Sharp pain
09:11and suffocating pressure
09:12spread through me.
09:19Help.
09:20Help me.
09:21My heart.
09:23Stop pretending, Amelia.
09:25It is just a glass of whiskey.
09:27It can't hurt you.
09:29I've known you for a very long time
09:30and never once heard
09:31about your heart condition.
09:34I stayed silent
09:35because I loved you.
09:37I wanted to give you a chance,
09:38but you disappointed me.
09:49Ethan is handsome,
09:51rich,
09:51and the boss
09:52of the entire Rolling Stars.
09:56Three years ago,
09:57I ran away
09:58to follow my dream of acting.
10:00One day,
10:01I was cornered by street bugs
10:02and Ethan appeared
10:04like a hero.
10:07We fell in love
10:09at first sight
10:09and quickly grew close.
10:11When I learned that Ethan,
10:12who seemed cold and de-packed,
10:14had lost both his parents
10:15to sudden illness,
10:17I decided to hide
10:18my own condition
10:18so that he would not
10:19have to feel
10:20that kind of fear
10:21and worry again.
10:24Ethan turned away
10:25in disgust
10:26and refused
10:26to look at me again.
10:30After he turned his back,
10:32Charlene grew
10:32even more smug.
10:36I was forced
10:37to open my bloodshot eyes
10:39to look at
10:39the cruel woman
10:40in front of me.
10:48Why?
10:50Why are you doing this to me?
10:53You don't deserve him.
10:54Ethan is handsome,
10:56rich,
10:56and the boss
10:57of the entire Rolling Stars.
10:59I spent 11 years
11:00trying to win his heart
11:01and failed.
11:02How can someone like you,
11:03a filthy rat
11:04who crawled out
11:05of the gutter
11:06ever deserve him?
11:09A filthy rat,
11:11a cold, bitter smile
11:12appeared on my lips.
11:13A filthy rat,
11:16a cold, bitter smile
11:18appeared on my lips.
11:20If my father knew
11:21I had been humiliated
11:22and mistreated like this
11:24after leaving home,
11:25how heartbroken would he be?
11:27Sadly,
11:28I would never see him again.
11:29my consciousness
11:30began to fade.
11:32Through the blur,
11:33I saw the pouch
11:33of medicine
11:34I had dropped
11:35near the waiter's feet.
11:36Some emergency medicine
11:37was still inside.
11:40Just a few more steps.
11:43Just a few more.
11:48I thought I could reach
11:49the pouch.
11:50Even if I could not,
11:53I hoped this would catch
11:54this waiter's attention.
11:59Weren't you just pretending
12:00you were about to die?
12:02Look how fat
12:02you can crawl now.
12:04Amelia,
12:05you just couldn't help
12:07showing your clumsy trick!
12:08I take back my compliment
12:10about your acting!
12:13She raised her voice
12:14on purpose
12:15to draw everyone's attention.
12:17Ethan glanced at me,
12:18then turned away
12:19with even more impatience.
12:25I did not care about that.
12:26I bit down on the pain
12:28and tried to pull the packet
12:29away from under
12:29Charlotte's feel.
12:30Charlotte gave me
12:31a mocking smile
12:32and whispered,
12:33Your heart must hurt
12:34so much you nearly died,
12:35right?
12:36There's worse pain
12:37yet to come.
12:40Charlotte's eyes
12:41went cold.
12:42She lifted her foot
12:43and kicked
12:44my outstretched arm.
12:47I felt numb
12:48and could not
12:49even make a sound.
12:51The waiter
12:52who had been pushed aside
12:53pointed under the table
12:54and screamed,
12:55There's blood!
12:57There's so much blood!
13:00His cry got
13:01everyone's attention.
13:02Ethan frowned.
13:03He pushed through
13:04the guests
13:04and rushed to my side.
13:06When he saw me,
13:07he froze.
13:08The small cuts
13:09on my arm
13:10from the broken glass
13:10had been ripped open
13:11by Charlotte's heel.
13:13Blood flowed
13:13and soaked the grass
13:14beneath me.
13:15Amelia!
13:15I'll take you
13:16to the hospital now!
13:19He did not hesitate
13:20and reached
13:21to pick me up.
13:22Charlotte showed
13:23a flicker of panic.
13:26This is nothing, Ethan.
13:28It looks worse
13:28than it actually is.
13:29It's just a surface wound.
13:32No need for an emergency.
13:34I'm a doctor.
13:35I can treat her faster
13:36than going to the hospital.
13:38She grabbed a glass
13:39of liquor
13:40and poured it
13:40straight onto my wound.
13:44Charlotte acted concerned
13:46and lifted my arm.
13:48Blood ran from the wound
13:50and mixed with grass
13:51and dirt.
13:52Amelia,
13:53you have to stop
13:54with the pity party.
13:56You crawled over the glass
13:57on purpose
13:58to cut yourself,
13:59didn't you?
13:59You're taking advantage
14:01of Ethan's love for you
14:02to make him give in.
14:03I feel sorry for him.
14:09Is that it, Amelia?
14:11You knew I couldn't stand
14:13seeing someone close to me hurt
14:14so you used such petty tricks
14:16to threaten me?
14:17Can't you even put up
14:18with such a small thing
14:19as this for me?
14:21Listen, Amelia.
14:22We aren't leaving
14:23this place today.
14:24We'll stay until
14:24the party ends.
14:26Charlotte,
14:26treat her wound.
14:28Whoever helps Amelia
14:29will be considered
14:30to be against
14:30the whole Rolling Stones.
14:32Charlotte grew triumphant.
14:34She lifted my injured arm
14:35as if it were a rag doll.
14:37Don't worry, Ethan.
14:39I've treated wounds
14:40like these many times before.
14:42First,
14:43we need to disinfect them.
14:45She grabbed a glass of liquor
14:46and poured it
14:47straight onto my wound.
14:53If Ethan hadn't rescued her,
14:55who knows where she'd be now?
14:57The burning pain
14:58made my weak heart
14:59stop for a moment.
15:01My mind cleared a little.
15:03I spat up blood
15:04and managed to say
15:05with difficulty,
15:07My father,
15:09Reese,
15:10won't let you get away
15:11with this.
15:15Your father?
15:16A junkie from West Street
15:18or a drunk from East Street?
15:19My father runs
15:20the city hospitals
15:21and has close ties
15:22with the Rolling Stones.
15:23Don't try to act superior
15:25in front of me.
15:27Darkness flickered
15:29at the edge of my vision.
15:30I felt numb
15:32and could no longer
15:32feel the pain.
15:34Reese?
15:35You mean the Reese family
15:37that controls
15:37half the mafia world?
15:38Don't listen to her lies!
15:40Ethan told me
15:40she's a failed actress!
15:42If Ethan hadn't rescued her,
15:44who knows where she'd be now?
15:48The Reese family?
15:50Please!
15:51This woman will say
15:51anything to survive!
15:54After hearing
15:55Charlotte's words,
15:57they laughed cruelly.
15:58Ethan's face
15:59grew even darker.
16:01He turned his back
16:02on me
16:03and walked away.
16:04He did not care about me,
16:06even though I was dying.
16:21My body grew stiff.
16:24Before I blacked out,
16:27tears blurred my view.
16:30Papa, save me.
16:32I called out
16:33even though I knew
16:33it might just be
16:34a hallucination.
16:42Papa,
16:44do you really think
16:45you are a mafia principissa?
16:46Who is your Papa?
16:48A mindless fan
16:49or another sponsor?
16:51She saw Ethan walk away
16:52and grabbed
16:53my mud-cocked hair.
16:55She slapped me hard.
16:59My world collapsed
17:01into dizzying blackness.
17:12face the truth.
17:15Even if you die
17:16by our hands,
17:17no one's coming
17:18to save you.
17:25Just as I closed
17:26my eyes in despair,
17:28a furious voice
17:28rang in my ear.
17:30I knew it better
17:31than any other voice
17:32in the world.
17:37How dare you
17:38torment my daughter?
17:39I'll make you
17:40pay with your lives!
17:44My father
17:45stormed into the party
17:46with a group
17:47of mafia men
17:48behind him.
17:52Charlotte and her friends
17:53froze when they saw
17:54the guns pointed at them.
17:56They let go of me
17:57right away
17:58and were terrified.
18:04My father
18:04pushed through the crowd.
18:07His eyes turned red
18:08with anger
18:09when he saw me weak
18:10and bleeding profusely.
18:21Amelia, my baby!
18:22My body could not
18:23hold on anymore.
18:25Soaked in sweat,
18:26I collapsed
18:27into my father's arms.
18:35Who dares make trouble
18:37on the Rolling Stones turf?
18:40Ethan!
18:41Ethan!
18:44Save me!
18:46When Charlotte saw Ethan,
18:48she acted like
18:49she had just seen
18:50her savior.
18:53He froze
18:54as soon as he saw
18:55the pill
18:55in my father's hand.
18:57A heart medicine?
19:00Amelia really
19:01has a heart condition?
19:03He finally realized
19:04that I had told him
19:06the truth.
19:07His face went pale
19:08and his mind
19:09went blank.
19:12You hurt my baby.
19:14I'll take your hands
19:15for that.
19:24You hurt my baby.
19:27I'll take your hands
19:28for that.
19:33Baby.
19:38Who are you?
19:39How dare you call
19:40my fiancee your baby?
19:42Ethan clearly
19:43misunderstood
19:43my relationship
19:44with my father.
19:45He clenched his jaw
19:47and tried his best
19:48to hold back
19:48his anger.
19:51Amelia, my love.
19:53I was wrong about you.
19:54You're badly hurt.
19:56Come back to me.
19:57I'll take you
19:58to the hospital
19:58right now.
19:59During the three years
20:00we were together,
20:01Ethan often said
20:02I was narrow-minded
20:03because I could not
20:04accept Charlotte
20:05being with us.
20:06He thought all our
20:07fights about her
20:07were because I was
20:08jealous and petty.
20:10But when he faced
20:11the same situation,
20:13he was far from
20:13achieving the magnanimity
20:15and generosity
20:15that he expected
20:16me to display.
20:24You fool.
20:36You know Mr. Reese
20:37and he values you
20:38so much you have
20:39to save me!
20:40This fool is the
20:41reason you hid
20:41your identity
20:42and refused to come
20:43home?
20:48Not anymore.
20:50I want to go home.
20:52Back to the Reese family.
20:56Reese?
20:57The top mafia
20:58family in the country?
21:00Amelia's connected
21:01to them?
21:14Who are you?
21:16What's your relationship
21:17with my fiancé?
21:22That old man
21:23must be Amelia's
21:24sugar daddy.
21:26Ethan,
21:27didn't the boss
21:28of the Reese family
21:28help you take over
21:29the East District?
21:30You know Mr. Reese
21:31and he values you
21:33so much you have
21:34to save me!
21:35Ethan froze.
21:36The Reese family
21:37had many branches
21:38and held power
21:39across the country.
21:40Ethan used to be
21:41the mere leader
21:41of a gang
21:42of small-time thugs.
21:44But three years ago,
21:45he suddenly received
21:46help from the dawn
21:47of the Reese family
21:48and took control
21:49of both the East
21:50and West districts.
21:51The Rolling Stones
21:52quickly developed
21:53into a small
21:54mafia family
21:55in the nation.
22:00Everyone believed
22:01my father
22:02had helped
22:02because he saw
22:03potential in Ethan
22:04and the Rolling Stones.
22:05It was no wonder
22:06Charlotte thought
22:07my father,
22:07who rarely showed
22:09his face,
22:09was close to Ethan.
22:11My father carefully
22:12handed me over
22:13to his men.
22:13He stood up
22:14and looked coldly
22:15at Ethan.
22:18Three years ago,
22:19you saved my daughter,
22:20so I gave you a gift.
22:22I, David Reese,
22:23consider my debt
22:24with you,
22:25Ethan Cross,
22:26fulfilled henceforth.
22:33But someone has to pay
22:35for what my daughter
22:37suffered today.
22:40David Reese?
22:42You're Mr. Reese?
22:44Amelia is your daughter?
22:46I'm sorry, Mr. Reese.
22:48I didn't know
22:49who Amelia really was.
22:50I was just joking
22:52around with her.
22:53Please, have mercy.
22:54Joking?
22:56Then let me play
22:57a John U, too.
23:00Charlotte clutched
23:01her arm
23:02and screamed in pain.
23:15My arm!
23:16No!
23:18No!
23:18I just got promoted!
23:21How am I supposed
23:22to operate now?
23:25I can't stand
23:26loud people.
23:28If you're unhappy
23:29that I only took
23:30your right hand,
23:32then I can make it
23:33so that I take
23:34your other one as well.
23:40No, it's not like that.
23:42Ethan, please.
23:43You know that I had no idea
23:44about Amelia's condition.
23:45I even tried to treat
23:46her wound.
23:47Please tell him!
23:48When my father
23:49did not respond,
23:50she turned to Ethan.
23:52Ethan frowned.
23:53He looked conflicted.
23:54Then, one of my father's men
23:56stepped forward
23:57and played the security
23:58footage from the party.
24:00The video clearly
24:01showed Charlotte
24:02pouring a high-strength
24:04sports drink
24:05into my champagne.
24:06It also showed her
24:08stepping on the medicine
24:09packet while I was crawling.
24:25How dare you humiliate
24:27my daughter like this?
24:29I'll make you disappear.
24:34Please, tell her
24:36to spare me!
24:39Charlotte was terrified.
24:43No, please!
24:45Ethan, you're
24:46Amelia's fiancé!
24:47You saved her once!
24:49Please, tell her
24:50to spare me!
24:57Get off me!
24:58You lied to me
25:00and almost killed Amelia!
25:01How dare you
25:01ask me for help!
25:07You can't let me die!
25:10My father saved
25:10your life once!
25:11You promised him
25:12you'd protect me!
25:13You saved Amelia
25:14so you have to
25:15save me too!
25:18Ethan froze
25:19for a moment.
25:21He looked at me.
25:25His eyes were filled
25:26with conflict
25:27and hesitation.
25:31Charlotte had come
25:32between us
25:34but I had never
25:35once questioned him
25:36no matter how much
25:37Ethan doubted
25:38or grew impatient
25:39with me.
25:40That was until today.
25:44I thought he chose
25:46Charlotte over me
25:47because she manipulated him.
25:48I did not expect that
25:50even after finding out
25:51the whole truth
25:52he would hesitate
25:53to choose between us.
25:56my father sneered.
26:00Get off me!
26:01You lied to me
26:02and almost killed Amelia!
26:04How dare you
26:04ask me for help!
26:07Stop!
26:08A life for a life
26:09we're even.
26:10I took a deep breath
26:12and stopped him.
26:20Papa, that's enough.
26:29Amelia, I knew it.
26:31I knew you'd forgive me.
26:34Stop!
26:35A life for a life
26:37we're even.
26:38I spared Charlotte
26:39for you.
26:40From now on
26:41we have nothing
26:43to do with each other.
26:45Ethan froze in place.
26:47What did you just say?
26:49At that moment
26:49the Reese family's
26:51medical car
26:51screeched to a stop
26:52at the entrance
26:53of the party.
26:53my father lifted me
26:55into his arms
26:56and said to the
26:56remaining mafia members
26:59Deal with everyone here
27:00but remember
27:01my daughters are his orders.
27:03Spare their lives.
27:06Then
27:06he carried me out
27:07of the party
27:08without another word.
27:10Ethan tried to chase
27:12after us.
27:13No!
27:14Amelia, you know
27:15I love you the most!
27:16Don't leave me!
27:24I already gave you
27:25one chance.
27:26My daughter needs
27:27to be treated.
27:28If you keep bothering us
27:29I'll destroy the
27:30Rolling Stones
27:30completely.
27:40Behind him
27:41my father's men
27:42were taking care
27:42of Charlotte
27:43and her friends.
27:43They were pushed
27:45into a tub
27:45full of champagne.
27:46They felt
27:47the suffocating
27:48panic I had just
27:49experienced.
27:50Ethan!
27:54Ethan!
27:56Ethan!
27:57Ethan!
28:00Ethan!
28:00Ethan!
28:01They were nearly drowned
28:02before someone
28:03finally pulled them out.
28:05Charlotte was drenched.
28:07She wrapped her arms
28:08around herself
28:09and ran to Ethan
28:11sobbing.
28:14Ethan!
28:15They want to pull
28:16all my teeth!
28:18My father knows
28:19I offended
28:19the Reese family
28:20but he doesn't even
28:21care to plead
28:22for me.
28:25You have to save me.
28:27In Ethan's mind
28:28Charlotte came
28:29from a better family
28:30than I did.
28:30She was also
28:31more generous
28:31and considerate.
28:32He once thought
28:33that if Charlotte
28:33were his fiance
28:34he might not have
28:35struggled so much
28:36in a relationship
28:37but he quickly
28:37dismissed the thought
28:38with a wise smile.
28:43He knew
28:44the only person
28:45he had ever
28:46really loved
28:46was me.
28:47He thought
28:48I did not come
28:49from a good family.
28:50My career
28:51had not been
28:51that impressive.
28:53I did not match
28:54his social standing.
28:58Still
28:59he humbled himself
29:00and set aside
29:01Hood his pride
29:02to love me.
29:03Charlotte had mocked
29:04me in front of
29:05his friends
29:05many times.
29:06She said
29:07I was not worth
29:08his love
29:09and he was foolish
29:10to chase after me.
29:12He had been
29:12a fool
29:13not to realize
29:14that someone
29:15as perfect
29:15as Charlotte
29:16would want
29:16to hurt me.
29:18He had been
29:19witless enough
29:20to trust her
29:21completely
29:22and lose me
29:23forever.
29:24He stared
29:24at the car
29:25as it vanished
29:26and ignored
29:27Charlotte
29:27and her sobs.
29:28He opened
29:29his mouth
29:29to speak
29:30but he could
29:31not utter a word.
29:32Finally
29:33a tear rolled
29:34down from
29:35his bloodshot eyes.
29:38back at the
29:39Reese family
29:40villa
29:40under my
29:41father's care
29:42and the medical
29:43team's attention
29:44I quickly
29:44recovered.
29:46The scars
29:47on my hands
29:48faded into
29:48faint lines.
29:50Returning home
29:50after three years
29:51I felt a wave
29:53of emotion.
30:02Since I was
30:03little
30:03my father
30:04had always
30:05worried about
30:05my heart
30:06condition.
30:07When he learned
30:08I wanted
30:08to be an
30:09actress
30:10he feared
30:11my body
30:11would not
30:12be able
30:12to handle
30:12it
30:13and strongly
30:13opposed.
30:15I had been
30:16obedient
30:16all my life
30:18but I once
30:19found the courage
30:20to run away
30:20in the middle
30:21of the night.
30:23after meeting
30:24Ethan
30:25I hid my
30:26identity
30:26because I was
30:27afraid my
30:28father would
30:28find out.
30:32It was not
30:33until the day
30:33before Charlotte's
30:34promotion party
30:35that I overheard
30:36her talking to
30:37Ethan.
30:38I learned that
30:39the Rolling Stones
30:40success was
30:41because of my
30:41father's support.
30:43Amelia
30:43I'll support you.
30:45He found the
30:46world's top
30:46heart surgeon.
30:47After the
30:48socialry you
30:48continue pursuing
30:50your dream of
30:50acting.
30:51They said I had
30:52a 90% chance
30:53of a full
30:54recovery.
30:57The night
30:58before my
30:58surgery abroad
30:59someone broke
31:01into the
31:01Reese family
31:02villa.
31:15Prince De Pesa
31:16the man who
31:16broke in
31:17is the boss
31:18of the
31:18Rolling Stones
31:19Ethan Cross.
31:37Ethan came
31:37alone.
31:38He carried a
31:39small gun.
31:40He had no
31:40men with him
31:41and did not
31:41hurt anyone.
31:42He deliberately
31:43smashed things
31:44around the
31:45Reese family
31:45territory and
31:46waited for my
31:47father's men
31:47to catch him
31:48and take him
31:48back to the
31:49villa.
31:50His goal
31:51was clear.
31:52He wanted
31:53to see me.
31:57My father
31:58round slightly
31:59and looked at
31:59me.
32:00Whatever you
32:01decide I'll
32:02support you.
32:03You can let
32:04him in or
32:04send him away.
32:06Let him in.
32:08Take him to
32:09the accounts
32:09office.
32:10Add up the
32:10damage done
32:11and make him
32:11pay ten times
32:12what he owes.
32:14The Rolling Stones
32:15have had a good
32:15run thanks to
32:16my father.
32:17Make sure the
32:18accounts are
32:19settled.
32:19My father and
32:20the men looked
32:21surprised by my
32:22tone.
32:23One of them
32:23paused and
32:24asked,
32:25Prince of Pesa,
32:26don't you want
32:27to see him?
32:29I raised an
32:30eyebrow and
32:30continued folding
32:31my clothes.
32:32What for?
32:33I'm leaving for
32:34my surgery tomorrow.
32:35I need to pack.
32:36Make sure he pays
32:37ten times in cash.
32:38Don't excuse even
32:39a single cent.
32:41My father and
32:43the men exchanged
32:43glances and
32:44smiled.
32:51I boarded the
32:52plane as planned.
32:54Everything for
32:55the surgery went
32:56smoothly.
32:57On the day of
32:58the surgery, the
32:59sky was clear and
33:00bright.
33:01The sunlight felt
33:02like a promise of
33:03a better future.
33:11I took a deep
33:12breath as I was
33:13wheeled into the
33:14operating room.
33:15The ensnesialist gave
33:16me the medicine and
33:17left the room.
33:20The surgery would
33:21begin once the
33:22surgeon was ready.
33:24I took slow, deep
33:26breaths, closed my
33:27eyes, and hoped I
33:29would wake up to a
33:30new life.
33:33Before I lost
33:34consciousness, a
33:35nurse suddenly ran
33:36into the room.
33:38She pulled down
33:39her mask to
33:40reveal the scarred,
33:41twisted face.
33:43It was
33:43Charlotte!
33:45After I returned
33:46to the Reese
33:47family villa, I
33:47had heard what
33:48had happened to
33:48her.
33:49She infended the
33:50Reese family.
33:51Her sewn family
33:52abandoned her
33:52completely.
33:53She has on the
33:54vile's hair always
33:54looked bright and
33:55charming, but
33:56inside she was
33:57cruel and twisted.
33:58Her former
33:59victims found out
34:00that she had
34:00become an outcast
34:01and had also
34:02lost one of her
34:03hands.
34:03They came after
34:04her for revenge.
34:05Even Ethan, for
34:07some reason, ignored
34:08her completely.
34:14Well, well.
34:16You finally fell
34:17into my hands.
34:19Desperate and
34:19ruined, Charlotte
34:21moved from place
34:22to place in the
34:22red light district.
34:23She sold her body
34:25constantly for food.
34:27One day, she
34:28argued with another
34:29woman over a
34:29client and angered
34:30the local thugs.
34:39After that, she
34:41vanished without a
34:42trace.
34:46I never thought
34:47she would show up
34:47in my operating
34:48room.
34:54Well, well.
34:56You finally fell
34:57into my hands.
34:59All those days
35:00sneaking into this
35:00hospital were worth
35:01it.
35:11All of this is
35:13your fault.
35:14I'll make you
35:14suffer.
35:15I wanted to
35:16scream, but the
35:17anesthesia kept
35:18me from moving.
35:19Sleep overtook
35:20me faster, and
35:21tears streamed
35:22down my face.
35:23I did not want
35:24to die like
35:25this.
35:27Amelia, hurry!
35:28Somebody help!
35:33Damn it!
35:34How are you
35:35always this lucky?
35:36Go to hell!
35:37Charlotte panicked.
35:38She grabbed a
35:38scalpel and aimed
35:39for my heart.
35:46Yeah, it's okay
35:47now.
35:48A blurry figure
35:49leapt forward and
35:50kicked Charlotte
35:50away.
35:51Charlotte, acting
35:53like a madman,
35:54jumped up again
35:54and swung the
35:55scalpel at me.
35:59Amelia!
36:02The figure threw
36:03himself around me
36:04and shielded me.
36:05The knife pierced
36:06his body, and he
36:08let out a low
36:08groan.
36:10When the scalpel
36:11struck his heart, I
36:13finally saw Ethan's
36:14face.
36:14The next moment, the
36:16anesthesia took
36:17over, and I slowly
36:18closed my eyes.
36:24When the doctors
36:25and security rushed
36:26into the operating
36:27room, Ethan finally
36:28allowed himself a
36:29relieved smile.
36:30Blood spurted from
36:31his mouth.
36:36Yeah, it's okay
36:37now.
36:38When I woke up, my
36:40heart surgery had
36:41been completed
36:41successfully.
36:42I opened my eyes
36:43to see my father
36:44crying with joy.
36:46I knew my new life
36:47had really began.
36:51Because of the
36:52attack before, three
36:53rows of Reese family
36:54guards surrounded my
36:55hospital room.
36:57But that was
36:58unnecessary.
37:00The Reese family
37:00issued a bounty
37:01against her and her
37:02family.
37:03Spending the rest of
37:04her life in prison was
37:05almost a relief for
37:06her.
37:12I thought of Ethan
37:13who had taken the
37:14blow for me.
37:15One quiet night, my
37:17father walked to the
37:18window and gently
37:19opened it.
37:20Amelia, come here.
37:21Look at the moon.
37:27I stood up and walked
37:29over.
37:29The night breeze was
37:31cool.
37:33In the garden below,
37:34among the shadows of
37:35the trees, I saw a
37:36familiar figure leaning
37:37on a cane, wearing the
37:38same hospital gown as
37:40me.
37:41He was staring up at my
37:42window.
37:42The moment our eyes
37:44met, he froze, then
37:45quickly retreated into
37:46the darkness.
37:47My father sighed
37:48softly.
37:49That boy is lucky.
37:50The scalpel missed his
37:51heart by less than a
37:52centimeter.
37:53The doctors say he may
37:54develop heart problems in
37:55the future.
37:56He'll suffer when it
37:57blames up.
37:58I saved him.
38:00You're not angry, are
38:01you?
38:02He glanced at me
38:03cautiously.
38:04I looked at the empty
38:05garden for a few
38:06seconds, then reached
38:07out and slowly closed
38:09the window.
38:10Why would I be angry?
38:12He saved my life once,
38:14and now we're even.
38:17From now on, we have
38:21nothing to do with
38:22each other.
38:24The next morning, a
38:26nurse came in to change
38:27my IV.
38:29Mr. Ethan discharged
38:30himself late last
38:31night.
38:32He said he couldn't
38:33bear to stay here any
38:34longer.
38:37My father brought
38:38breakfast in person.
38:41Security reported he
38:42stood in the garden
38:42until dawn.
38:45I lowered my eyes,
38:47stirred the oatmeal
38:48gently, and said
38:49nothing.
38:50Nothing.
38:52Nothing.
38:57Three months later, my
38:59new drama became a
39:00massive hit.
39:01I went from a forgotten
39:02actress to a household
39:03name overnight.
39:05One evening, I attended
39:06a private dinner with my
39:07father at an exclusive
39:09club.
39:27Amelia, I've been looking for you
39:28for months.
39:29I know I was wrong.
39:30I was blind.
39:31Please, give me one chance to
39:33make it up to you.
39:35You're blocking my way.
39:38Just five minutes.
39:39That's all I ask.
39:54The lady said no.
39:55Learn to read the room.
39:59This is between me and
40:00her.
40:05Not anymore.
40:07She's with me tonight.
40:15You're choosing him over
40:16me?
40:17I'm not choosing anyone.
40:18I already chose to leave
40:19you three months ago.
40:33The night of the movie
40:34premiere arrived.
40:35The red carpet was lined
40:36with cameras and screaming
40:38fans.
40:38I wore a stunning gold gown
40:40that shimmered under the
40:41lights, walking confidently
40:42down the carpet.
40:44To me.
40:45Tonight belonged to me.
40:47Tonight belonged to me.
40:56Amelia, I was wrong.
40:58I should have believed you.
41:00I watched you almost die
41:02and did nothing.
41:05Please, give me one last
41:07chance.
41:08I'll spend the rest of my
41:09life making it up to you.
41:14You had your chance, Ethan.
41:16You watched me lying on the
41:17ground, begging for help
41:18and chose to believe
41:19someone else.
41:20There is nothing left
41:21between us.
41:23Amelia, please.
41:25I love you.
41:26I'm done with the past.
41:28Tonight is about my future.
41:31I turned away gracefully.
41:34Shall we, my leading lady?
41:36On my right, Victor Morata,
41:38the powerful producer,
41:39handed me a bouquet of roses.
41:41Jack Warren appeared on my
41:42left, offering his arm
41:44with a charming smile.
41:45For the brightest star
41:46tonight.
41:53Amelia, don't go.
41:54I can't live without you.
41:56I never looked back.
41:58From this moment on,
42:00I was no longer anyone's
42:01fiance.
42:02I was Amelia Reese,
42:03the heroine of my own story.
42:05She's been watching us.
42:06I'm Amelia Reese,
42:06the heroine of my own story.
