14:05Et Nathan stood outside with a cigarette in his mouth
14:07Where's Grace? I'm here to pick her up
14:10Who are you?
14:11I'm her fiancé, didn't she tell you?
14:13Enzo stood there frozen, the bracelet dropped to the floor
14:15Actually Nathan and I had known each other for a long time
14:17Back before my family went bankrupt
14:19He had once confessed his feelings to me
14:21But back then, my entire world revolved around Enzo
14:23So I rejected him, over and over again
14:25Until last week, when Nathan suddenly came to find me
14:28He said if I married him, he would pay off all my debts
14:32I looked at Nathan then
14:34Why marry me?
14:35Nathan smiled, looking a bit smug
14:37Because I want to prove that you chose the wrong guy back then
14:39I'm the only one who can actually save you
14:42Suddenly, it clicked
14:43He didn't want to marry me because of love
14:45He just wanted to satisfy his own hero complex
14:48Why did you say you were my fiancé just now?
14:50What's the difference? We're going to get married sooner or later
14:52I haven't agreed to anything
14:54Nathan laughed
14:56Do you have any other options?
14:57Grace, wake up. You're buried in so much debt
15:00Whoever marries you now is a total sucker
15:01Who else would want you besides me?
15:03That guy just now?
15:04He's that poor ex-boyfriend of yours from college, right?
15:07Let me tell you
15:08He's only back to humiliate you
15:11He used to be looked down on because of you
15:13Now that you're down on your luck
15:14He's probably feeling so smug
15:16He's dying to see you make a fool of yourself
15:18That's none of your business
15:21Nathan just laughed even more in a mocking way
15:26How is it not my business?
15:28He snatched the woman I liked back then
15:30It seemed he didn't know yet that Enzo was the mafia of the Marotti family
15:35Nathan, I am not your trophy
15:38I didn't say yes to you back then and I won't now
15:40I pushed the car door open and got out
15:42Nathan didn't stop me
15:43He just spoke slowly from behind the car window
15:45Whether you agree or not, is it really up to you?
15:48Grace, think about your family
15:50Nathan's high and mighty attitude
15:51Reminded me for some reason of many years ago
15:53The people who spread rumors about Enzo
15:55The people who mocked him without a second thought
15:57The look on their faces right now
15:59They were exactly the same
16:00Could it be that in Enzo's mind, the me from the past was just like them?
16:03The news of my return spread quickly among our college clismakes
16:07Along with the news of my family's bankruptcy
16:09My college roommate Emma reached out to me again
16:12She was getting married and asked if I would be her bridesmaid
16:14This was something we had promised each other back in college on the day of the wedding
16:18Emma was in a white wedding dress, tears in her eyes
16:21Grace, why did you just disappear back then?
16:26I lowered my head and stayed silent for a long time
16:29Then I finally let out the words that had been weighing on my heart for years
16:32Emma, that was the first time in my life I'd ever experienced such a huge blow
16:35I didn't know what to do
16:38Do you know?
16:39Enzi looked for you like a madman back then
16:41What?
16:42You didn't know?
16:43He tried almost everything
16:45That was the first time I ever saw Enzo break down
16:47He sat alone at your front door
16:49Crying like a kid
16:52Later, he heard you might have gone south
16:53So he went city to city looking for you
16:55But he never found you
16:57Grace, where have you been all these years?
17:00Miami, Houston, Phoenix
17:02There were so many places, I can't even remember them all
17:04Because people were constantly chasing us for debt
17:07Our whole family kept changing our names
17:09We had to move every two weeks
17:13The wedding reached its final segment
17:15Emma threw her bouquet into the crowd
17:18That bunch of white flowers flew over everyone's heads
17:22And landed, steady and firm, right in Enzo's hands
17:26Enzo walked toward toward me
17:28And handed me the bouquet
17:31The whole room went wild
17:33The cheering was so loud
17:34It could have blown the roof off the hall
17:36Even Emma covered her mouth and shrieked
17:38I felt awkward
17:40Enzo, you already met my fiancé
17:42I don't believe it
17:43Your taste couldn't have just suddenly become that bad
17:47Then just assume my taste has gotten worse
17:49Fine
17:50Even if he is real
17:51Dump him and come back to me
17:53His voice carried an irresistible, hypnotic quality
17:57A few days later, I heard that Enzo had beaten up Nathan
18:01The New York elite were hosting a banquet
18:03At the party, Nathan were both was bragging
18:06There was this bankrupt socialite, Grace
18:08She's seriously beautiful
18:09She was hard to chase back then
18:11But now it's just too easy
18:12Her family owes a huge debt, right?
18:15I promised to help her pay it off
18:17And now she's following me around like a puppy
18:18Before he could finish his sentence
18:20A fist smashed right into his face
18:25The scene turned chaotic in an instant
18:29No one expected that the respected new godfather
18:32Of the Morese family
18:33Would personally hit someone
18:34And he did it in front of the entire New York
18:37Wealthy Kirkle
18:40Scarlet found me
18:41The moment we met, she flew into a rage
18:44Grace, do you have any idea?
18:46Enzo had it harder than anyone
18:48To get to where he is today
18:49He relied on himself, step by step
18:52To secure his position as the godfather
18:54Of the Moretti family
18:55Now because of you
18:56He's determined to burn bridges
18:57With so many people
18:58Grace, if you can't help him
18:59Can you at least stop destroying him?
19:02Destroying him?
19:03I looked at her coldly
19:07Scarlet, what right do you have to question me?
19:09Scarlet was clearly taken aback
19:11I continued
19:12Weren't you and Enzo always just business partners?
19:16He actually told you that
19:19Even though Enzo and I are just business partners
19:21I genuinely love him
19:23Anyway, your debts have already been paid off by Enzo
19:26What do you mean?
19:27Grace, stop playing dumb
19:29The very first day you met Enzo
19:30He cleared your family's debts
19:32You've already been gone for so many years
19:34So just stay gone
19:36Leave him to me, okay?
19:39You like him?
19:41Yes
19:44But back then
19:45Wasn't it you who led the rumors about Enzo at school?
19:49The color drained from Scarlet's face
19:52So it was you, Scarlet
19:55When Scarlet left, she looked completely soul-crushed
19:58But Enzo was never a forgiving person
20:00Scarlet would pay the price for what she did back then
20:03I looked at the bandage on Enzo's telp and asked him softly
20:07Are you okay?
20:09Don't worry, it's nothing serious
20:10But Nathan won't be as lucky
20:13The doctor says he needs surgery
20:16I couldn't help but sneer
20:18Surgery would be letting him off too easy
20:22I hope he gets disfigured
20:25That's more like it
20:26What?
20:28That's the old grace
20:30How long has it been since you cursed someone up like that?
20:33Say some more
20:35I want to hear it
20:36I rolled my eyes
20:38The winter sun fell on the accumulated snow
20:41Reflecting a blinding light
20:42Enzo and I kept bickering as we walked
20:44And as we laughed, it felt like we were back in college
20:47All the emotions that had been suppressed for years
20:50Suddenly all came pouring out
20:52As I was talking, I started crying again
20:55Enzo, wait for me a little longer
20:57I will definitely pay that money back to you
20:59You know, I didn't mean to keep it from you
21:04I admit, paying off your debts without your consent
21:08Was wrong of me
21:10I looked at how annoyed he was
21:12And I laughed through my tears
21:13Enzo drove me straight back to his apartment
21:15This was my third time here
21:17But my mood was completely different from the first two times
21:20Enzo sat across from me
21:21He looked at me seriously
21:22Grace, today, let's get everything cleared up
21:26Okay
21:26Then I'll start
21:28Why did you break up with me back then?
21:31I lowered my head and said softly
21:34Because I felt like I had become a burden to you
21:37The more I thought about it
21:38Breaking up seemed like the best choice
21:40Enzo looked at me
21:41Wasn't it because you were just bored of playing around?
21:43I paused for several seconds
21:45Finally remembered
21:46That was what I said when I broke up back then
21:48As soon as those words left my mouth
21:50Enzo had walked away without looking back
21:52I always thought you just treated me like a toy
21:55After four years you'd had enough
21:56Then when things happened with my family
21:59And I couldn't help you with anything
22:00You didn't want me anymore
22:02I stared at him in a daze
22:04He had actually thought that the whole time
22:06Defined him
22:07He did feel like an angel
22:07But when things happened with me
22:08I felt like an angel
22:09He was able to help interrupt
22:09Then when things happened with your dad
22:10You were able to see what they were
