00:00Five years into my marriage with Leo Castro,
00:02paparazzi snapped photos of the mistress Raven Price he'd hidden away in a hotel,
00:05and the news blew up worldwide.
00:07He couldn't stand everyone calling her a homewrecker,
00:09so he brought me the divorce papers.
00:11Professor Gray helped me out years ago.
00:13Before he died, he asked me to take care of Raven.
00:15Now that everyone's caught wind of this mess, I can't just abandon her.
00:18Year after year, Raven had always come first in Leo's heart, no matter what.
00:22Back in my old life, I lost it the second he said that,
00:25screaming, sobbing, refusing to sign the divorce papers.
00:29Eventually, I fell into a deep depression.
00:31But Raven told Leo I didn't seem unwell at all.
00:34He accused me of fiending depression just to get attention.
00:37He framed me for cheating and dragged me straight to court to file for divorce.
00:41That's when it hit me.
00:42I'd never win against that debt he felt he owed to his late mentor.
00:45In utter despair, I ended my own life.
00:49When I opened my eyes again, I signed the divorce papers without a second thought.
00:55Ivy, once this whole mess dies down, we'll remarry, yeah?
00:59This all happened only three hours after the scandal dropped online.
01:02Paparazzi caught Raven with Leo, and everyone online dug up her whole past,
01:06calling her a homewrecker who ruined our perfect marriage.
01:08Leo's loyal husband act went up in smoke, and Castro Group's stock started tanking.
01:12In my last life, I lost it when he showed up with the papers.
01:15I ripped out every rose he planted for me in the yard,
01:18screaming and demanding the truth about him and Raven.
01:22She's just his late mentor's kid.
01:23There were tons of other ways to fix this mess.
01:26But he chose to throw me under the bus instead.
01:28He only did this to keep Raven's depression from flaring up.
01:32What he didn't know?
01:33I'd also been diagnosed with moderate depression while the scandal blew up online.
01:38Ivy?
01:39His voice pulled me out of my daze.
01:49Ivy, please do this for me, okay?
01:51We'll tell everyone our marriage died ages ago.
01:54We planned to split a year back, we just never got around to saying it.
01:57I didn't say a word.
02:00Ivy, please help me!
02:02My mother killed herself because of online abuse.
02:04I don't want to end up like her.
02:05I'll get on my knees if that's what you want!
02:07Please, Ivy, just help me!
02:11Ivy, please help me!
02:16Ivy, please help me!
02:18What are you doing?
02:20I just wanted to make Ivy feel better.
02:25Ivy, I'm not here to negotiate.
02:27I've already made my call.
02:28Refuse to sign and don't say I didn't warn you what will happen.
02:31I lifted my head calmly and locked eyes with him,
02:34and his words died in his throat.
02:36But I knew the words he'd left unspoken.
02:38What he would have said.
02:41You know exactly what I can do, Ivy.
02:44I've got dozens of ways to force your signature.
02:46If this goes to trial, you don't stand a chance against Castro Group's legal team.
02:51Those were his exact words in my past life.
02:53And sure enough, he set me up with male models,
02:56staging photos that looked like airtight proof I'd cheated.
02:59Overnight, everyone online called me a cheating spouse.
03:02Meanwhile, Leo and Raven were painted as totally innocent victims.
03:06I'll sign, but you gotta promise me one thing.
03:13Aren't you gonna read it first?
03:14No need.
03:16He was handing nearly all his assets over to me,
03:19ready to lose everything just to protect Raven.
03:24We'll head to City Har tomorrow to sort out all the paperwork.
03:29Okay.
03:34Leo's hand froze when he grabbed the papers,
03:37staring at me totally confused, but he didn't say a word.
03:41Okay.
03:45You lost.
03:46I really lost everything back then.
03:48I lost my whole life, but not this time.
03:50I won't lose again.
03:52I'm sorry you have to go through this, Ivy.
03:54Once this blows off, I'll give you a huge wedding.
03:56We'll get married again.
03:57I just can't let Raven's depression get worse.
03:58You understand, right?
04:00It was the exact same in my past life.
04:03To bully me into signing, Leo got weighted with his buddies to plan his scheme, but he
04:07forgot that his friends were my friends too.
04:10Our mutual friend Ben tried to talk him down, begging him not to ruin our marriage for Raven.
04:15But he also came to me, telling me to cut Leo some slack and calling him a loyal man.
04:19He kept bringing up the past.
04:21Without Raven's dad investing in him, Leo would have nothing, none of his success now.
04:25Leo wouldn't be where he is today.
04:27Leo had a hundred ways to clear this scandal up.
04:29Why did divorce have to be the only option?
04:32Ben went quiet.
04:34He'd asked Leo the exact same thing, and this was Leo's answer.
04:38One of us has to get hurt, and it's going to be Ivy.
04:41She loves me, so she'll understand.
04:43He threw me under the bus just because I loved him.
04:46There's no logic to that.
04:50But luckily, I have a second chance now.
04:52Leo drops everything and acts lightning fast whenever Raven's involved.
04:56Signed the papers this morning, press conference tonight.
04:59Now his assistant shows up to drag me out for damage control.
05:02I didn't even get a single word out.
05:04The assistant thought I was going to refuse, so he just passed along Leo's warning.
05:07Mrs. Gray, you really need to show up today.
05:09If not for Mr. Castro, then do it to save your own public image.
05:12This was Leo's way of threatening me.
05:14He planned to pull the same dirty tactics from my past life to break me,
05:17smear my name, and leave me drowning under endless online slander.
05:21Eventually, I'd be left with zero option but caved to his demands.
05:25I could never figure it out.
05:26Did Leo see me as his wife or as his enemy?
05:29Now he wanted to go public and set the record straight on our marriage.
05:33Funny enough, I wanted the whole world to hear the truth, too.
05:51I'll answer each of your questions shortly.
05:54Now, if you could all just step back a little.
05:59Our eyes met.
06:00For a split second, I actually hoped he would help me out.
06:06But in the next second, he looked away.
06:09He kept a smile on his face.
06:11He held Raven's hand and walked onto the stage.
06:15He acted like he did not even see me.
06:18Mrs. Grace, did you really divorce Mr. Castro?
06:23That's right.
06:23But you two go all the way back to high school.
06:26Seven years of dating, five years of marriage.
06:28Only last month, Mr. Castro dropped millions to buy a private island just for you,
06:32and he even named it after you.
06:34It was just something he owed me.
06:35He had missed my birthday to take care of a sick raven.
06:39The island was just a makeup gift.
06:41Back then, I'd actually been so pleased with myself over it.
06:44Only later did I learn.
06:45The whole idea was Ben's.
06:46The island was picked by Leo's assistant,
06:48and Leo did not even know where it was.
06:50Do you still hold feelings for Mr. Castro?
06:52Oh.
06:57Not anymore.
07:00Hey, don't.
07:01Look out here.
07:02Look out here.
07:05Over night, the whole internet painted me as the woman Leo dumped.
07:10And somehow Raven came out of the public boat gap as the only innocent one.
07:14Especially the part Leo said,
07:15Ivy and I planned to divorce a year ago.
07:17We just couldn't find the right time.
07:19We'd hoped to sort this out privately,
07:21but innocent parties are getting dragged into the mess,
07:23which left us no choice but to speak out today.
07:25Mrs. Raven Price is no homewrecker.
07:27Our split was never her fault.
07:29She's the only family my late Lester left in this world.
07:31Looking after her, it's the least I can do.
07:33I hope everyone can see this for what it is and be reasonable.
07:37The public ate up his act.
07:39They claimed our marriage crumbled because I was petty,
07:42twisting his bond of gratitude and platonic friendship into something ugly out of jealousy.
07:48They called me small-minded,
07:51saying I'd picked up none of Leo's loyalty after five years of marriage together.
07:57The rumors spread for days.
07:58I became the main target for endless blame and abuse.
08:02Hey!
08:03Don't let all those online slander get to you.
08:05The public will move on from this soon enough.
08:09Raven and I had both been torn apart online,
08:12and yet the way he treated us couldn't have been more different.
08:16Ivy, Christmas is only two months away.
08:19We can tie the knot again early next year.
08:21How does that sound?
08:28Leo, I'm heading home.
08:29It's been ages since you've stayed at your place.
08:32A break might do you good.
08:33I'll swing by to fetch you for the holidays and bring you back here.
08:35I'm not coming back.
08:37When I signed the papers, you promised me one thing.
08:40It's time to keep that promise.
08:43The second I woke up reborn,
08:45it only took me a retbeat to sort through all my tangled love and hatred for Leo.
08:48When I saw the divorce papers, I wanted to tear them up.
08:51I wanted to scream at him again,
08:53but my cooler head prevailed in the end.
08:57Leo, I never want to cross paths with you ever again.
09:04For a moment, a sudden panic washed over him.
09:08He felt like he was about to lose the most important thing in his life.
09:11It was the same uneasy feeling he had when Ivy signed the papers so calmly.
09:15She hadn't put up any fight at all,
09:17as if she'd seen every bitter ending coming long before.
09:20But just recently, Ivy had thrown a huge fit because he forgot her birthday.
09:25She had even slapped him.
09:27He thought she would go crazy when he suggested a fake divorce.
09:30He had prepared himself for her anger, but she did nothing.
09:33She just picked up the pen.
09:35Her face was as calm as still water.
09:37At that moment, he wanted to stop her, but in the end, he did nothing.
09:41He'd brushed it off back then, convincing himself it'd all work out.
09:45Ivy loved him.
09:46This was only a temporary fake split, and he'd shower her with compensation later.
09:51But Raven was different.
09:55He couldn't bear for her to suffer any harm on his account.
09:58Years back, Raven's dad had spot his potential,
10:01risking spulsion from the board to fund his startup.
10:04Every bit of Leo's success existed thanks to that man.
10:07Without him, Leo would not have achieved the success.
10:10He wouldn't even deserve to stand beside Raven.
10:13On his deathbed, Raven's father begged Leo to look after his daughter,
10:17and Leo refused to act like an ungrateful wretch.
10:20Ben had asked him a question once.
10:22If Raven and Ivy both fell off a cliff, which one would you pull to safety?
10:25Leo had laughed.
10:26He thought the question was silly.
10:27I'll rescue Raven first.
10:29Then I'll follow Ivy off the cliff and die alongside her.
10:31Ben had laughed too, but then Ben asked,
10:33What if Ivy doesn't want to die?
10:35Leo, you can't keep walking all over Ivy just because head over heels for you.
10:39If she never feels your love, she'll eventually give up entirely.
10:42Leo did not take those words seriously back then.
10:44He'd never once stopped to truly digest those words.
10:47He never expected Ben to be right.
10:49That night, Leo went back to the villa.
10:52Ivy had called that hillside villa home ever since their wedding day.
10:55She was a talented painter.
10:57At 10 years old, she was called a prodigy for deep, beautiful landscape paintings.
11:01Everyone thought she had a bright future.
11:03They believed she would reach the top of the art world, and she did.
11:06But after they got married, Ivy's style changed, became completely different.
11:11Her teacher tried to guide her, but it did not help.
11:14Eventually, Ivy gave up painting.
11:17She even refused to touch a brush.
11:22Leo walked into Ivy's studio.
11:24He froze when he saw the landscape painting on the irzal.
11:27Only a handful of loose brushstrokes, yet the whole scene pulsed with vivid, raw life.
11:31The housekeeper saw the light on and walked in.
11:34He was surprised to see Leo.
11:35Mr. Castro, when did Ivy finish this painting?
11:39The day you returned home with Miss Price.
11:41Leo nodded.
11:42He tried to smile, but he could not force it.
11:44He left the studio and went back to their bedroom.
11:47He kept telling himself this was just a fake divorce.
11:50Once all this media chaos died down, he would propose again and give Ivy a huge wedding.
11:55But somehow, his heart just felt empty.
11:58He convinced himself that Ivy was just speaking out of anger today.
12:01This house was their shared home.
12:02There was no way she'd stay away forever.
12:04A knock came at the door.
12:05Leo looked up from the edge of the bed.
12:07It was Raven.
12:08What brings you here this late?
12:09I couldn't stand being alone at the hotel.
12:11I got scared, so I came to look for you.
12:13I hope I didn't disturb you.
12:15It's alright, but it's far too late tonight.
12:17I'll send the housekeeper to prepare a guest coining for you to rest in.
12:20He was about to call the housekeeper, but Raven walked right into the bedroom.
12:23She looked at him with long in her eyes.
12:25Leo, I don't want to stay in a cold guest room alone.
12:28Can I stay with you?
12:29She whispered tentily.
12:33Leo frowned deeper.
12:34He wanted to say no, but then he saw her watery, red-rimmed eyes.
12:38His resolve crumbled instantly.
12:41Julian was waiting for me when my plane landed.
12:43When he was 18, Julian had stepped in to save a young woman, only for her to falsely accuse him
12:49of sexual assault, landing him a three-year prison sentence.
12:53That permanent criminal record shut every potential employer's door in his face.
12:57I met him at an art exhibition.
12:59He never talked to anyone.
13:01He always kept his head down.
13:03If anyone got close, he would shrink back in fear.
13:06One night, a group of thugs cornered me on my way home.
13:09Julian happened to walk by.
13:10I thought he would just ignore us, but he didn't hesitate for a single second before rushing to my defense.
13:16I asked him later,
13:17What if I'd turned around and accused you too?
13:20He gave a bitter smile.
13:21Then I'd just take whatever punishment came my way.
13:27I used my family's influence to clear his name.
13:30The day he was proven innocent, he stood in the crowd.
13:33His eyes were red as he looked at me from a distance.
13:35He bowed deeply to thank me.
13:38Prison had not ruined his kind heart.
13:40My father was grateful that Julian saved me.
13:43He offered him a job at our company.
13:45Julian began at the very bottom of the ladder, and now he's my father's most trusted right hand.
13:51It's been far too long, Ivy.
13:53I nodded.
13:54Tears well up in my eyes.
13:55Five years ago, I married Leo and moved away with him.
13:59In my past life, when everything fell apart, Julian had been sent by my father to a closed-door training
14:04program.
14:05I never got to see him again before it was too late.
14:08Will you be heading off again soon?
14:10No.
14:11I'm home to stay this time.
14:15Mr. Gray's over the moon to have you home again.
14:18I froze.
14:19My hands clenched inside my pockets.
14:20I felt a wave of guilt.
14:22In my past life, news of my messy divorce with Leo had spread nationwide.
14:27My father, worried that I was being treated unfairly, flew out that very night to see me.
14:32He'd spent hours begging me to listen him.
14:34Leo knows where his priorities lie.
14:36Back then, he'd rather partner with that old man Price than take your help.
14:39Call it pride if you want to be nice, but let's be real.
14:42Taking Price money is still taking money.
14:43What's the difference?
14:44Ivy, it's done.
14:46Let it go.
14:46Leo was never right for you.
14:48He wanted to take me home, but I refused.
14:51I cried and threw a tantrum to stay.
14:54I love Leo.
14:55I won't sign those divorce papers.
14:57Why do I have to be the one to give up everything for his precious sense of great eat?
15:02He can push me the edge if he wants.
15:04I'm still not signing those papers.
15:07I'm not leaving.
15:08I made my father so angry that he had a heart attack.
15:11He ended up in the ICU.
15:13The doctors almost lost him several times.
15:16My mother's hair turned gray overnight.
15:19When my father finally woke up, he did not say a word, but I knew he was deeply disappointed in
15:24me.
15:24Before my mom passed away, she'd pulled me aside to say,
15:27Your father's never once tried to dictate your life choices, but Leo will never be the one to treat you
15:32right.
15:32Back then, I wouldn't listen to anyone.
15:34I was dead set on going down the wrong path.
15:36It took losing my entire life for me to finally see the truth.
15:38I'd never mattered all that much to Leo.
15:43How's everyone holding up?
15:44The company is doing great.
15:46Your parents are healthy.
15:47Thank you, Julian.
15:48Thank you for watching over my family when I couldn't.
15:50It was the least I could do.
15:51If my father and I hadn't helped him back then, he would have died in some dark corner long ago.
15:56The rumors online kept spreading.
15:58First, the internet dragged Raven as a homewrecker.
16:00Now they labeled me cold and cruel.
16:03Paparazzi snapped photos of Julian and May at the airport yesterday,
16:06and suddenly everyone spinning lies that I cheated on Leo first.
16:10I laughed.
16:11Then my phone buzzed mid-smile.
16:12Raven messaged me from a burner account, attaching a selfie of herself crashing overnight at the hillside villa.
16:18Leo invited me to stay the night yesterday.
16:20Wonder what we'll get up to tonight?
16:22Leo's such a dutiful man.
16:24Now that you're gone for good, he's finally unshackled.
16:27Ivy, your husband belongs to me now.
16:29She wanted to hurt me, but I felt absolutely nothing.
16:34Julian handed me a cup of tea.
16:35He glanced at my phone with concern.
16:37Ivy, I'll make every last one of them pay for all the pain they've put you through.
16:40I ignored his comment and shifted topics.
16:43Dad's been setting you up with dozens of socialite errors trying to get you to settle down.
16:47Why turn every single one down?
16:49Julian did not expect that question.
16:51He looked down and rubbed the rim of his cup.
16:53After a long silence, I asked,
16:56Is it because of me?
17:00He looked up quickly, met my eyes, and then looked away.
17:03We hadn't seen each other in five years.
17:05But he always sent me expensive gifts for my birthday.
17:08He spent a fortune on them.
17:10He even sent money to my bank account.
17:12He gave me almost everything he made.
17:14I tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen.
17:16Finally, I called him and lost my temper.
17:18Julian, you saved my life once and I cleared your wonk eviction.
17:22We're square.
17:22Dad gave you the job opening, but you built every bit of your success on your own merits.
17:26You don't owe me a thing.
17:27All this money and gifts to only poison my marriage and make Leo misread what's between us.
17:31After that call, Julian stopped sending money.
17:34I've told you before, you don't owe me a single thing.
17:36The moment the words left my mouth, Julian pressed his lips together.
17:39That's not the reason at all.
17:40Then what is it?
17:41He looked at me with a soft smile.
17:43The love in his eyes was clear.
17:45I love you, Ivy.
17:46I know there's a world of difference between our stations.
17:49I never dared hope you'd return my feelings, but my heart's always belonged to you.
17:53I won't lie to myself, and I won't string any other woman along when I'm already yours.
17:57I looked at him in silence.
17:59He was my age, but he was much more mature.
18:02When we first met, he was timid and out of place.
18:05Now, he was the pillar of the company.
18:07He was the person my father trusted most.
18:13That night, I went back to the family home.
18:16My father talked with me for a long time.
18:17We talked about the future of the company.
18:19We also talked about my own future.
18:21In the end, he asked me two questions.
18:23The first cut straight to the bone.
18:25Do you still love Leo?
18:27I shook my head.
18:28No.
18:29Would you be willing to marry Julian?
18:31But the second question made me fall silent.
18:34My father was planning to retire soon.
18:37Julian had worked with him for years, but Julian was not a gray.
18:41At first, I hesitated, but now I had my answer.
18:44Julian, will you marry me?
18:46Two days later, Leo sat in the studio.
18:49He stared at the video of Ivy's interview with the intern.
18:55Do you still hold love for Mr. Castro?
18:57No, I don't.
18:58Those three simple words made his chest tighten.
19:01He felt a strange ache.
19:02He watched the clip over and over again.
19:05He tried to find something in her eyes.
19:07In the end, he found nothing.
19:09Frustrated, he opened his chat history with Ivy.
19:12The last message was from him.
19:14He had reminded her to meet at City Hall at 9.
19:17She had only replied with a simple okay.
19:19There was nothing after that.
19:21Ivy used to be clingy.
19:22She shared everything with him, big or small.
19:24He used to reply to her quickly.
19:26He scrolled back through the messages.
19:29Later on, it was mostly Ivy talking to herself.
19:31He only sent short replies when he had time.
19:33He would reply, okay, or I know.
19:38The company was too busy.
19:41Raven had fallen into depression after her father died.
19:44She kept threatening to kill herself.
19:46He'd never had a spare moment left for Ivy's.
19:50Suddenly, Ben sent him a message.
19:53Ivy's getting married to Julian.
19:55Leo jumped up.
19:56He accidentally knocked over the easel.
19:58The landscape painting fell to the floor.
20:01He rushed to pick it up.
20:02That was when he saw a medical report under the drawing board.
20:05He froze for a few seconds.
20:07He read the paper.
20:09His fingers began to shake.
20:10The patient has severe mood swings.
20:12She has recurring suicidal thoughts.
20:14She suffers from severe sleep issues.
20:16Diagnosis.
20:16Moderate depression.
20:17The date on the report was the exact day he asked Ivy for a fake divorce.
20:22Leo, what happened?
20:23She saw the medical report in his hand.
20:26A calculating look flashed in her eyes.
20:28Can I see that report?
20:30Leo didn't say a word.
20:31He felt a sharp pain in his chest.
20:33Raven took the report from him.
20:35She flipped through the pages.
20:37Then she let out a sigh of relief.
20:38She patted Leo's shoulder to comfort him.
20:41Don't worry, Leo.
20:42Remember, I struggle with depression too.
20:43You've seen how severe my episodes get.
20:45I saw Ivy the other day.
20:47She looked perfectly healthy.
20:48She didn't look sick at all.
20:51She's probably just angry.
20:52She probably got a fake report to trick you.
20:58Raven stared at Leo.
20:59She wanted to keep talking.
21:01But Leo held back his anger and snatched the report back.
21:04He took a few steps.
21:05Then he stopped and turned back to her.
21:07Don't sleep in the master bedroom starting tomorrow.
21:10Ivory's going to be upset if she finds out.
21:13Raven froze.
21:15Leo!
21:16By the time she ran after him, Leo was already downstairs.
21:20He'd left in such a hurry that he hadn't even grabbed his coat.
21:24He did not care if the report was real or fake.
21:27He did not care if Ivy was really marrying Julian.
21:30Right now, he had only one thought.
21:31He had to find Ivy.
21:33He had to bring her back.
21:34Julian took our wedding very seriously.
21:36He checked every single detail himself.
21:38During the day, he ran the company and visited weddingizations.
21:41At night, he sat in the living room and wrote the invitations by hand.
21:44Julian, pass all this wedding preps off to your assistant.
21:48You're run ragged from company work.
21:49You don't need to exhaust yourself with every little task.
21:53He put down his pen.
21:54He looked up and smiled at me.
21:56I want to give you the best of everything, Ivy.
21:58I know you might not love me yet.
22:00But you mean the world to me.
22:02My mind went blank for a second.
22:04For the first time in years, my heart skipped a beat.
22:07Don't carry any weight on your shoulders.
22:09All you need to do is be the most radiant bride imaginable.
22:12Julian kept smiling.
22:13He did not hide the love in his eyes anymore.
22:16I smiled and nodded.
22:20But I never expected Leo to show up.
22:22Julian and I had just finished our wedding fitting.
22:25I saw Leo standing under an old oak tree across the street.
22:28He wore a plain white shirt.
22:29His hair was messy.
22:30He looked pale and exhausted.
22:32His eyes were completely lifeless.
22:34He stared at my hand, holding Julian's.
22:36He looked away after a moment.
22:39Ivy, I'm here to take you home.
22:41We don't have to wait until next year.
22:43Let's remarry right this instant, okay?
22:45Julian tried to step in front of me.
22:47But I stopped him.
22:49Go wait for me in the car.
22:51I'll be right there.
22:53My mom made your favorite food tonight.
22:55We'll head home together soon.
22:56Okay.
22:56Julian looked down at me and smiled.
22:58He gave Leo a cold look.
22:59Then he turned and walked toward the parking garage.
23:02Only Leo and I were left on the street.
23:04He tried to step closer to me.
23:05I stepped back to keep my distance.
23:07Mr. Castro, we'd better keep our space.
23:09If paparazzi snap us together, the internet will spin more lies about me clinging to my ex-husband.
23:13People are always harsh on women.
23:15The entire mess with Raven proved that Leo's the one who couldn't draw proper lines.
23:18Yet everyone painted me as petty and unforgiving.
23:20Ivy, I-
23:21His eyes dimmed.
23:22His smile was bitter.
23:26I've already told my assistant to handle the rumors.
23:28I'm sorry for what you went through.
23:30I didn't know how much you were suffering.
23:32I didn't know-
23:32Leo, you knew exactly what it was like.
23:35He knew how much online hate could hurt someone.
23:38Otherwise, he wouldn't have divorced me just to protect Raven.
23:41In my past life, he'd framed me for sleeping with multiple male models, securing a court-ordered divorce.
23:46My reputation shattered completely.
23:47My art career crumbled to dust.
23:49And the whole world mocked my ruin.
23:50Strangers would walk up to sneer at me.
23:52How can you still show your face after everything your ex put you through?
23:55If I were you, I would have jumped off a building by now.
23:59Mrs. Castro?
24:00Don't make me laugh.
24:01Leo never cared about her at all.
24:03Otherwise, he wouldn't have ruined her life like this.
24:07After that, I couldn't sleep at night.
24:09I just sat by the window and stared at the city lights.
24:12I burned my art studio to the ground.
24:15I burned every gift Leo ever gave me.
24:18I thought it was the only way to rip him out of my heart.
24:21I hated him.
24:22I hated how the boy who only had eyes for me once could push me to end my own life.
24:27In the end, I slit my wrists.
24:30Even now, I still remember the feeling of my life slowly draining away.
24:34Leo opened his mouth to explain.
24:36But the words would not come out.
24:38Hi, Ivy.
24:39I'll make it up to you.
24:40I couldn't help laughing.
24:41I'd heard that line a million times.
24:46Raven's father passed away the night of our engagement party.
24:49Leo left me behind.
24:51Ivy, something's wrong with Raven.
24:52I need to go see her.
24:54On our wedding day, Raven threatened to kill herself again.
24:57Leo dropped me off at our bridal suite.
24:58Then he vanished the whole night.
25:00Back then, I doubted our relationship.
25:02I wondered if I should even stay with him.
25:04But I saw how tired he looked.
25:06And I let it go.
25:07I loved him.
25:08I was willing to stand by him through everything.
25:11Every time he broke a promise, he said the same thing.
25:15Ivy, I'll make it up to you later.
25:17Leo thought we had a lifetime together.
25:19But he forgot that love can run out.
25:21By the end of my past life, I did not even know if I still loved him.
25:25Maybe I was just holding on to the past.
25:27Leo, I asked for so little in the end.
25:29But you still could not make time for me.
25:32I'm the apple of my parents' eye.
25:34Why should I let you trample all over me like this?
25:36So, let's just end this.
25:37I looked away and turned to leave.
25:39Leo grabbed my arm in a panic.
25:40He stumbled, his face pale and his lips trembling.
25:43I don't agree.
25:44We can't just end it like this.
25:46Ivy, you're my wife.
25:47You can't just leave me.
25:48I laughed and pulled my arm away.
25:50We are already divorced, Leo.
25:52You forced me to sign divorce papers, threatened me into attending the press conference,
25:56then stood over me at City Hall while I got the divorce certificate.
25:59You did all of this.
26:00You can't deny it now.
26:01I...
26:01Leo lost for words.
26:07Mr. Castro, you and Miss Price suit each other perfectly.
26:10All the color dread from Leo's face.
26:14Leo had arrived at dawn.
26:15His assistant had found Ivy's schedule.
26:18He had rushed to find her without taking a single moment to rest.
26:21But then, he saw Ivy in her wedding distress.
26:24She was laughing and joking with Julian.
26:27Leo slowed down and stopped.
26:29He stood under the old oak tree, staring blankly at them.
26:31He could not remember the last time he saw Ivy laugh like that.
26:34Lately, they only argued about Raven whenever they met.
26:37Slowly, he had stopped going home.
26:38He either slept at the office or drank with Ben until dawn.
26:41At that moment, he finally understood.
26:43Every word Ivy said at City Hall was sincere.
26:46She did not want him anymore.
26:47But he could not live without her.
26:48He stood outside the bridal shop the entire time they were inside.
26:51He wanted to rush in and beat Julian up.
26:53He wanted to warn him to stay away from his wife.
26:56But he could not take that step.
26:57He was afraid of making Ivy angry.
27:00Leo.
27:01Ivy's been gone for ages.
27:03She tugged at his sleeve, pulling him back to reality.
27:06What are you doing here?
27:07He looked down at her.
27:08I heard Ivy's going to marry someone else.
27:10I was scared you'd be heartbroken, so I came to see you.
27:14She reached out to hug him.
27:15But Leo frowned and grabbed her shoulders to stop her.
27:18Leo?
27:19Ivy doesn't want you anymore, but I do.
27:21Let's get married.
27:23Okay?
27:23Leo had never rejected her before.
27:25She thought she'd step right into the role of Mrs. Castro once they divorced.
27:29But Leo's face turned cold.
27:31Raven, do you know what you are saying?
27:34I do.
27:35Leo, I love you.
27:40This was the first time she had confessed her feelings.
27:43Leo let out a hollow, ashy laugh.
27:46He laughed until tears streamed down his face.
27:49Ben had warned him so many times.
27:51The way Raven looks at you isn't right.
27:53If you don't want to ruin your marriage, send her away.
27:56Leo, you're too wrapped up in this to see the truth.
27:58You can't read her real feelings for you.
28:01Send her away before she ruins everything.
28:03But he had never believed him.
28:05He got exactly what he deserved.
28:07I was far from where I used to live.
28:09But once something hits social media, distance doesn't matter.
28:12It spreads like wildfire.
28:13It was the third day of Leo pestering me.
28:16Julian emailed Leo the proof that Raven had faked her medical records.
28:19He also gathered evidence of all the times Leo stood me up for Raven.
28:23He made a timeline of everything and posted it online.
28:27Overnight, public opinion flipped.
28:29But none of that mattered to me anymore.
28:31Raven is exploiting a debt of gratitude to destroy someone else's marriage.
28:34Leo is full of false affection.
28:36Can't he repay them more with money?
28:37Why mistreat his own life for?
28:38Leo's reputation was ruined.
28:40His company's stock price crashed.
28:45Soon after, I released some evidence I had found by chance.
28:49Raven had set the whole thing up.
28:51She hired people to take photos of her and Leo at the hotel.
28:55She even paid internet trolls to call her a homewrecker.
28:58Social media completely sploded.
29:00Leo was in a panic.
29:02He originally planned to send Raven abroad.
29:04But when he saw the news, he almost choked her to death on the street.
29:08He demanded answers from her.
29:09Why did you do this?
29:10Raven tried to play the victim at first.
29:12But when she could barely breathe, she suddenly laughed like a madwoman.
29:16She admitted everything.
29:17I just wanted to be Mrs. Castro.
29:19I wanted to force Ivy to divorce you.
29:21Leo, if you actually loved Ivy, I wouldn't have stood a chance.
29:25Leo was so angry that he coughed out blood.
29:27He fainted on the done shot.
29:29A bystander filmed the whole thing.
29:31The video went viral online.
29:33The Castro group's stock price kept falling.
29:35When Leo woke up, he was mentally unstable.
29:37He was kicked out of his position as CEO.
29:39As for Raven, her reputation was ruined and she had to leave the country.
29:43But she was unlucky.
29:45She got into a car crash on the way to the airport.
29:48She died instantly.
29:52On our wedding day, Julian gave me a grand wedding.
29:55Everyone was talking about it.
29:57One guest joked that I was lucky to marry Julian.
29:59Julian scoffed and kicked the guest out of the venue immediately.
30:03I married into the Gray family.
30:04That makes me one of them.
30:06After we took our vows, he made a public announcement.
30:08I'm a Gray now, for better or worse.
30:10Julian knew I might not love him completely yet.
30:13But he never stopped treating me well.
30:15On our wedding night, he gripped me tight, like he was afraid I'd vanish.
30:20I kept asking him what was wrong.
30:23Finally, he told me.
30:24Leo had killed himself.
30:26Before he died, he had a moment of clarity.
30:28He mailed Julian the medical report I had left in the studio.
30:30He also wrote me a letter.
30:31It was a very long letter.
30:32Every word was filled with regret.
30:34He wrote about a nightmare he had.
30:36In the dream, he forced me to divorce him.
30:38I refused to give in.
30:39So he set me up and put me in bed with other men.
30:42In the end, I slit my wrists in despair.
30:48He wrote that he did not mean to do it.
30:50He just wanted me to give in.
30:51He never thought he would drive me to suicide.
30:53He did not know I was actually sick.
30:55If he had known, he would never have treated me that way.
30:58In the dream, he saw the bathroom covered in blood.
31:01His heart broke.
31:02He wished he was the one who died.
31:03The letter ended with,
31:04Thank goodness it was just a dream.
31:06And I'm sorry.
31:07I let out a cold laugh.
31:09I threw the letter into the trash.
31:11I threw the medical report in there, too.
31:13Julian frowned slightly.
31:14Ivy.
31:15I said softly.
31:16The old Ivy was sick.
31:18But I'm not her anymore.
31:20Once I left him, I got better.
31:22After a long silence, Julian smiled warmly.
31:25I looked at him and smiled, too.
31:27Thank goodness.
31:29In this life, I lost nothing.
31:31Thank goodness.
31:31Thank goodness.
31:31Thank goodness.
31:33Thank goodness.
31:33You
