Transcript
00:00My fiance Cole's family had a wedding day tradition.
00:03Before the ceremony, the bride had to draw a dare stick, just for fun.
00:07It's been in my family for generations. Just go through the motions.
00:11But the dare stick said, call off the wedding.
00:13The whole room gasped.
00:16Cole's childhood sweetheart, Chloe, leaned against him and doubled over laughing.
00:21Oops, I just wrote that as a joke.
00:23I can't believe she actually drew it.
00:26Someone finally stepped in and tried to smooth things over.
00:28This one doesn't count. Draw another one.
00:30Elena spent a whole year planning this wedding.
00:33No way we're calling it off, right, Cole?
00:36Let's call it off.
00:38Cole ignored them.
00:40The draw's final. No bending the rules.
00:44Tell everyone to go home. We'll just get married next year.
00:47You've waited for me all these years anyway.
00:50One more year won't hurt.
00:51I turned around in silence.
00:53Truth was, after all these years, I was done waiting.
00:56I unlocked my phone.
00:58The screen was still on a text from last night.
01:01Elena, won't you give me another chance?
01:03I sent the location back.
01:05Get here right now, and I'll marry you.
01:07My phone buzzed, but I didn't look at it again.
01:10I just stared straight at Cole.
01:12Are you serious?
01:15His buddies completely freaked out.
01:17Cole, don't be stupid.
01:18She waited eight years for this wedding, and she even stayed up for nights, handwriting every invitation.
01:24Her relatives flew in from halfway across the country.
01:26You can't just call it off like that!
01:28Cole leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, and raised an eyebrow at me.
01:32When have I ever lied?
01:36It's just delayed for a year.
01:37We have plenty of time in the future.
01:40My throat tightened up.
01:41Tears started welling in my eyes.
01:43But I've already waited eight years.
01:45Right after college, he said he needed to work hard.
01:48He told me to wait, and I did.
01:51I moved across the country to the north for him.
01:53I lived with him in a leaky basement apartment and worked three jobs every day.
01:57We only survived on cheap takeout deals.
02:00Later, his career stabilized.
02:02But he wanted to start a business.
02:04And I waited for him anyway.
02:06I gave him all my savings and drank with investors until I got a bleeding ulcer.
02:10Now his startup was a success.
02:12I spent a year planning this late wedding, picked the dress, and checked out venues.
02:16I even wrote over 800 invitations by hand.
02:19He casually canceled it and told me to wait again.
02:22But I can't wait any longer.
02:26I looked up and wiped my tears.
02:29Cole, you know my dad has a heart condition.
02:31He could die at any time.
02:33All he wants is to see me get married.
02:35Do our eight years and my dad's hopes mean less than Chloe's joke?
02:40It's not a joke.
02:41It's a bet.
02:42I made a bet with Cole.
02:43If you pulled this stick, he has to play my boyfriend and do all 100 couple things with me.
02:49I looked up in shock and met Cole's helpless look.
02:53He reached out and patted my head out of habit.
02:56I can't help it.
02:57A bet is a bet.
02:58Blame your bad luck.
02:59You just had to pull that one.
03:01Is it my bad luck?
03:03Or did you plan this?
03:05A thought exploded in my mind.
03:07I snatched the draw jar and yanked out every wooden stick.
03:11Sure enough, they all said, call off the wedding.
03:14This so-called wedding game was just a cover to grant Chloe's wish.
03:17My last shred of hope completely collapsed.
03:21Tears instantly streamed down my face.
03:23I threw the wooden sticks at him.
03:25My hands were shaking violently.
03:27Why?
03:28Cole froze for a second, but then he smiled.
03:31I couldn't hide it from you.
03:33He tossed his cigarette and wrapped an arm around my shoulder.
03:36His husky voice brushed my ear.
03:39I have no choice.
03:41Chloe is too competitive.
03:43She's never lost at anything in her life.
03:46I can't watch her cry.
03:48The wooden sticks clattered across the floor.
03:50The guests judging stares hit like slaps across my face.
03:53My cheeks were burning hot.
03:55I dug my nails into my palms.
03:57I wanted to question him, but it felt pointless.
04:01After a moment of silence, I took off my engagement ring and handed it to him.
04:06Let's break up.
04:08You stick to your bet and I'll have my wedding.
04:12The room froze for a second.
04:14Cole finally reacted and tried to shove the ring back onto my finger.
04:18Are you kidding me?
04:20How are you going to get married without me?
04:22I yanked my hand away.
04:24I'm not kidding.
04:25I'm breaking up with you.
04:27The ring slipped off, spun twice, and rolled down the drain.
04:31Do you really have to make a scene?
04:34I didn't say a word.
04:36The room stayed dead silent.
04:38After a while, he smirked and let out a breath.
04:42Fine.
04:43Besides the ring, I bought the dress and the veil.
04:47Even the shoes on your feet are from me.
04:49You want to break up?
04:50Then take it all off if you have the guts.
04:52My stomach dropped.
04:53I dug my nails into my palms and stared at him.
04:56Tears rolled down my face.
04:58We dated for eight years.
05:00I never thought he'd humiliate me in public like this.
05:03His eyes softened a bit.
05:04He reached out to wipe my tears.
05:07Then don't.
05:08I'm done.
05:10I cut him off, yanked the zipper down, and stepped out of the wedding dress and heels.
05:14I had a tank top and shorts underneath.
05:17It was just enough to save my last shred of dignity.
05:20Then I ripped off my veil and threw it in the air.
05:23It hung between us, cutting me off from him.
05:27Cole, I wasted eight years on the wrong man.
05:30Elena, don't push it!
05:32His fist trembled at his sides, warning in his eyes.
05:35Chloe burst out laughing next to him.
05:37Elena, you sure take your clothes off fast.
05:41Reminds me of your pathetic mother.
05:43She said she'd been assaulted, then took her own life.
05:46Your family sued for a million bucks.
05:48But who knows if she staged it all for the money.
05:53My brain exploded.
05:54Pure rage burned me from head to toe.
05:57Shut up!
05:58You have no right to talk about my mom!
06:01Elena, you're crazy!
06:05What, your mom could do it, but no one can talk about it?
06:08I bit my lips.
06:09I felt my whole heart shatter into pieces.
06:12Tears instantly blurred my vision.
06:14I still remembered the moment before my mom took her own life.
06:17She stood on that rooftop and gave me one last broken look.
06:20Elena, you have to be happy.
06:22Later, I woke up crying on countless nights.
06:24It was always Cole who held me tight and comforted me.
06:27Elena, I'm here.
06:29Don't worry.
06:30I promise to make you happy.
06:32But now, I looked at Cole protecting Chloe.
06:34It was still the face I had loved for years.
06:37But I couldn't find the love in his eyes anymore.
06:39I straightened my back and walked toward the wedding hall.
06:42My wedding is still on.
06:44My voice wasn't loud, but everyone heard it.
06:47Elena, are you really that desperate to get married?
06:49You think forcing me to marry you will work?
06:52I never fall for that.
06:54I paused my steps.
06:55I never said you were my groom.
06:57Cole froze.
06:58He was about to ask, but Chloe grabbed his arm.
07:00Just ignore her.
07:02I booked a candlelit dinner for tonight.
07:05This is number one on our 100 couple things list.
07:07Cole hesitated for less than two seconds.
07:09Then he turned and walked out with Chloe.
07:11Cole, don't be stupid.
07:12What if Elena actually marries someone else?
07:15Cole didn't even look back.
07:16Not a chance.
07:17He was so sure I would still wait for him.
07:20But now, I opened my phone and looked at his reply.
07:23The million dollar prenup is ready.
07:25So are the deeds to 10 penthouses.
07:27The motorcade will be there in half an hour.
07:31Elena, wait for me to marry you.
07:35I turned.
07:37Watched Cole walk away and counted to 10 in my head.
07:39If he'd just turned around, I'd give him one more chance.
07:43But his back vanished from my sight.
07:45And I never got what I was waiting for.
07:48I closed my eyes.
07:49An endless bitterness washed over my heart.
07:52Cole, I'm not marrying you this time.
07:54I calmed my relatives down and went back to the dressing room to change clothes.
07:59Then I was about to call someone to bring me a new wedding dress.
08:02Someone knocked on the door frantically.
08:04Elena, something's wrong.
08:05Your dad is being held down outside.
08:07My stomach dropped.
08:08I ran outside.
08:10When I got there, two massive men had my dad pinned in the mud.
08:13My dad's face and neck were beet red.
08:16He wore a white shirt just for my wedding.
08:18Now it was covered in mud.
08:20It even had rips from being dragged across the ground.
08:24You old bastard.
08:25Still running your mouth?
08:26The pointed toe of her heel ground hard into the back of my dad's hand.
08:30How dare you put your hands on me?
08:33Look at yourself, you dirty old country creep.
08:36You've got some nerve.
08:39Dad!
08:40I rushed forward like a madwoman and shoved Chloe hard.
08:44Then I quickly pulled my dad behind me.
08:47What gives you the right to bully him like this?
08:49Cole stood to the side and frowned.
08:52Your dad couldn't keep his hands to himself.
08:54So this is your dad?
08:56No wonder he looks like dirt poor country trash.
09:00He's old and gross and he dared to grab my ass in public.
09:04Get on your knees today, you old creep.
09:07Slap yourself and apologize or this isn't over.
09:12My dad was almost in tears from panic.
09:15His forehead was busted open.
09:17Blood was dripping down his nose.
09:19He had been honest all his life and barely ever argued with anyone.
09:23He had never suffered such humiliation.
09:28Elena, you have to believe me.
09:30I didn't do it.
09:31I really didn't.
09:32This girl slipped and twisted her ankle earlier.
09:35She was about to fall.
09:36So I reached out to help.
09:38I didn't even touch her clothes.
09:41Dad, I believe you.
09:43Get up first.
09:44My heart ached.
09:45Tears stinging my eyes.
09:47Did you hear that?
09:48My dad didn't do it.
09:50You have to apologize to him.
09:54I only believe what I saw.
09:55Many bystanders were already pointing fingers at my dad.
09:58My heart turned completely cold.
10:00I helped my dad away to get his womb treated.
10:03Suddenly, a brutal force hit me back.
10:05Chloe shoved me aside and grabbed my dad's collar.
10:08Everyone in the live stream, open your eyes and look at this old bastard.
10:12He openly harassed a girl on the street in broad daylight.
10:15He groped me.
10:16Every word dragged my dad through the mud.
10:19I checked him out.
10:20He's just some gig driver.
10:22Who knows how many girls he's preyed on while giving rides?
10:25Everyone memorize this face.
10:27If you see this guy, stay far away.
10:29People like him deserve to be beaten in the streets.
10:31Abusive comments flooded her screen.
10:34I didn't do it.
10:35Shaking with courage, I slapped Chloe's phone out of her hand, about to scream.
10:39My dad's face suddenly went pale.
10:41He clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.
10:44My legs instantly went weak.
10:47Call an ambulance!
10:48My dad is having a heart attack!
10:53Someone snapped out of it and reached for their phone.
10:56But Chloe stopped them.
10:58Don't think you can fake an illness to get away with it.
11:01Nobody leaves until he apologizes to me.
11:04A massive wave of fury instantly swallowed me.
11:07I grabbed Chloe by the hair.
11:09If anything happens to my dad today, I'll make you pay with your life.
11:13Chloe had never seen me like this and backed away in fear.
11:16But Cole caught her from behind.
11:19Elena, get on your knees and apologize for your dad.
11:22Then I'll let you go.
11:24I glared at him.
11:25In your dreams.
11:27We won't admit to something my dad never did.
11:34He raised his hand, and seven SUVs pulled in from every side.
11:38They surrounded my dad and me, blocking the road completely.
11:43My dad needs a hospital right now.
11:46Otherwise, he really will die.
11:48But he just glanced at his watch.
11:50You have ten seconds to apologize for your dad.
11:53Chloe peeked out behind him and lifted her chin smugly.
11:56Elena, for Cole's sake, I'll give you a deal.
11:58Get on your knees and slap yourself three times.
12:02Then I'll let you guys go.
12:04Cole!
12:06When you were broke starting your company, my dad sold his house!
12:10He gave you all his savings to support you!
12:13That's a separate issue.
12:16You now have five seconds.
12:18The surrounding cars immediately started honking wildly.
12:21The blaring horns made my dad tremble.
12:23His breathing got more and more rapid, and the body started falling backward.
12:27Cole's countdown kept going.
12:28Three.
12:30Two.
12:33Seeing my dad about to give out, I didn't dare delay anymore.
12:37I dropped to my knees and slapped myself three times.
12:45Chloe smiled, stepped closer, and grazed my cheek with her heel.
12:50I guess I'll be the bigger person.
12:51You can go.
12:52I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly found someone to help carry my dad.
12:56One second before getting in the car, I glared coldly at Cole.
13:00He was holding Chloe in his arms and coaxing her softly.
13:03I originally wanted to part on good terms and keep some dignity.
13:07But now, I wasn't going to let this go so easily.
13:09I took out my phone and sent a text.
13:11I'll marry you, but I want Cole bankrupt within three days.
13:15Gladly.
13:16I turned off my phone and broke down crying the whole way.
13:25My dad finally regained consciousness, completely out of danger.
13:28Only then did I finally breathe again.
13:30My dad wiped my tears with a shaking hand.
13:34It's my fault for letting my baby girl suffer.
13:39Have a good talk with Cole.
13:41Don't ruin your relationship because of me.
13:43My illness is nothing.
13:45Dad, I'm not marrying him anymore.
13:48But I'm still going to have my wedding.
13:51As soon as I said that, Cole called me.
13:55Alina, I'm letting Chloe manage all my money this year.
13:58As for your dad's medical bills, you'll have to figure it out yourself.
14:01What the hell does that have to do with me?
14:03We're already broken up.
14:09But you and Chloe spread lies about my dad.
14:12I'll take legal action.
14:14His contemptuous voice came through.
14:15Alina, this little act is getting pathetic.
14:18I know you and your dad staged this to force me to marry you.
14:20Is your only goal in life just to marry me?
14:22Are you really that unambitious?
14:24Hurry up and tell your relatives to leave.
14:26When there's no groom, you're the one who'll be humiliated.
14:32Chloe's voice faintly echoed in the background.
14:34Cole, ignore her.
14:35We have to board our flight in an hour.
14:37I stayed silent for a few seconds.
14:42Cole, do you still remember the vow you made eight years ago?
14:48What did you say?
14:49Cole, let's go.
14:53I can't talk right now.
14:54I'm taking Chloe to a private tropical island for a week.
14:57I'll bring you a souvenir when I get back.
14:59In his eyes, one little keepsake was enough to shut me up.
15:01I forced a bitter smile and thought back to eight years ago.
15:04Cole knelt in front of my mother's grave and swore an oath.
15:09If I ever wrong Alina, let me lose everything.
15:13Now it was time for him to pay for that oath.
15:16Alina, I am here.
15:21The wedding starts in half an hour.
15:23At the airport, Cole was just about to board with Chloe.
15:26He suddenly got a call from his assistant.
15:30Bad news, boss.
15:31The suppliers want to cut ties.
15:35Tell Procurin to handle it.
15:36The next second, his phone started ringing like crazy again.
15:40Cole lost his patience.
15:42I didn't hire you to be useless.
15:46Bother me with this petty crap again, and you can pack your things and get out.
15:51But this time, it was his friend's panicked voice on the line.
15:55It's bad.
15:57Cole, Alina is...
15:58Just look for yourself.
16:00Right after, a few photos popped up on his phone.
16:02Cole took one look, and his face went dead white.
16:06In the photos, I was wearing a wedding dress,
16:09holding a bouquet and waiting quietly outside the wedding hall.
16:13Cole, is she really that desperate?
16:17You're about to board, but she still won't give up.
16:20Does she really think this will force you to go back and marry her?
16:23Annoyance flashed in Cole's eyes as he spoke into the phone.
16:27Tell Alina.
16:29If she insists on humiliating herself at this one-woman show,
16:33I'll delay our wedding for a few more years.
16:35I hate being threatened more than anything.
16:37But his friend stammered.
16:38His voice was trembling.
16:43No, Cole.
16:45Alina isn't threatening you.
16:48She's actually marrying someone else.
16:55She swapped the groom.
16:56Just look at the video I sent you.
16:58In the video, flower petals were raining down.
17:02A man in a sharp white suit walked toward me.
17:04His back was to the camera.
17:10She's serious.
17:11He shook off Cole's hand and sprinted toward the airport exit.
17:15Send someone to stop Alina right now.
17:17Don't let that guy touch her.
17:20Cole!
17:22Cole!
17:24Chloe grabbed his arm tightly.
17:25Her voice cracked from desperation.
17:27We're about to board!
17:29Did you forget?
17:31This is the second thing on our couple list.
17:37I don't care about any of that.
17:39I can't watch Alina marry someone else.
17:41He snapped his head back to look at Chloe.
17:43Chloe couldn't stop shaking.
17:45She bit her lip and snatched Cole's phone.
17:47Cole, calm down.
17:49What?
17:49Think about it.
17:50Is this even possible?
17:52It hasn't even been an hour.
17:54How could Alina marry someone else?
18:00Her friends and family only know you.
18:02The invitations and the big screen all have your name on them.
18:05This is obviously just a trick to force you back.
18:08She deliberately hired someone to fake it.
18:10If you go back, she wins.
18:11Then she'll control you forever.
18:14Cole calmed down at once.
18:16His tense body finally relaxed.
18:20You're right.
18:21Marriage wasn't a game, and she has nowhere else to turn.
18:28After all, I had followed him around for eight years without a single complaint.
18:31For him, I left my hometown, my friends, and even passed up a dream job offer.
18:36His buddies used to tease him that he had a personal tale.
18:38And back then, I just smiled and hugged his arm tightly.
18:42I love being your little tale.
18:44That way you can never get rid of me.
18:52She loves me that much.
18:54She will never marry another man.
18:57Thinking of this, Cole breathed a sigh of relief, but guilt slowly crept in.
19:02He looked at Chloe's anxious eyes staring at the boarding gate.
19:05Then he pressed his lips together and led her inside.
19:09Chloe and I are about to board.
19:10I can't make it.
19:11Go tell Alina this trick won't work on me.
19:14Be a good girl and wait for me.
19:16He thought for a moment and added something.
19:19Buy her a couple of designer bags to calm her down.
19:24Tell her the wedding will be in two months.
19:28Cole, you promised me a whole year.
19:31Chloe wasn't having it, but the man who swore he'd never let her cry now looked impatient.
19:35I promised to do the challenge with you, but I never promised to stay for a whole year.
19:41Cole heard the final boarding call in the lounge.
19:43He was just about to hang up, but his friend on the other end screamed in panic.
19:50Cole!
19:53Cole!
19:54Alina is totally serious this time.
19:56She's not acting!
19:58Wait.
20:00You know the groom too.
20:01It's Damien.
20:01Hearing that name, Cole's mind went blank.
20:05His forced calm cracked instantly.
20:08Panic and sheer terror flooded in.
20:10Others might not know that name, but he knew exactly who it was.
20:16Damien was the CEO of the Winters Group, his biggest business rival.
20:21For years, it had been one step ahead of the Cole Group, stealing dozens of projects right
20:26out from under him.
20:27What made it even more uneasy was our past.
20:31Damien and me grew up together.
20:33He even chased after me in college.
20:40When Cole and I went public, Damien stood outside my dorm in the cold all night.
20:45The next day, Damien found him and left one warning.
20:51Treat Alina right.
20:53If she ever suffers even one bit, I will take her back.
20:56Back then, Cole was full of himself back then, holding the breakfast he bought for me.
21:00Don't worry.
21:00You'll never get that chance in this lifetime.
21:04But now, if I am marrying Damien, I meant it.
21:09Go stop them right now!
21:10I'm on my way!
21:11He violently shook off Chloe's hand and sprinted out of the airport.
21:18At the wedding venue, the officiant announced loudly.
21:22The bride and groom may now exchange rings.
21:25Damien smiled, took my hand and slid the diamond ring onto my finger.
21:33My eyes widened.
21:36This ring...
21:37You designed it yourself right after high school.
21:41Remember?
21:43You said the inspiration came from the glowing bay on that remote island.
21:48A warmth washed over me.
21:50Of course I remembered.
21:51Damien and I went on a graduation trip after high school.
21:54That night, the beach, the bonfire, the barbecue.
21:58Looking at the sparkling waves, I designed this wedding ring.
22:02When I get married one day, I want a diamond this big.
22:05Back then, Damien crossed his arms and leaned lazily against a tree.
22:09Hope your dream comes true.
22:15I never expected him to remember a passing comment until now.
22:19Tears burned behind my eyes.
22:21I parted my lips to speak.
22:22But the hall doors burst open.
22:24The portal rushed and looking completely disheveled.
22:27A few of his friends were trailing behind him.
22:30His eyes were bloodshot.
22:31He pointed at Damien and roared.
22:37Get the hell down from there!
22:39I'm the groom today!
22:40Elena's my wife!
22:42The room erupted.
22:44Didn't Cole leave with another woman?
22:46Why is he back?
22:48I've never seen such a shameless man.
22:53He just made Elena strip in public and almost killed her dad.
22:57Now he actually has the nerve to call her his wife.
23:00Gross!
23:01Hearing these whispers, Cole's face blushed, then Kale.
23:07He gritted his teeth and marched up to the stage to work.
23:15Elena, I know this is a fake marriage just to piss me off.
23:18I know I was wrong now.
23:19I promise you, the bet with Chloe is off.
23:21I won't leave with her anymore.
23:23Let's just have our wedding and be together.
23:25His red, rimmed eyes were anxious and pleading.
23:28I looked up and was about to curse him out.
23:30But Damien stepped in front and shielded me.
23:33He patted my hand, then looked at Cole with a faint smile.
23:36His eyes were deadly cold.
23:38Who told you Elena and I are faking it?
23:40He pulled out our certified marriage papers.
23:43Our names were printed right on it.
23:45Elena and Damien.
23:47We got it right before the ceremony started.
23:49He said he was afraid I'd back out.
23:52So he dragged me straight to the courthouse.
23:54Seeing Damien's slightly smug look, I rubbed my forehead helplessly.
23:59He lifted his chin with a hint of pride.
24:07Elena and I have the papers now.
24:11She's my legal wife.
24:18As for you, you'd better crawl back to wherever you came from.
24:24Impossible.
24:25Cole shook his head and stumbled backward.
24:31Impossible!
24:32Elena loves me so much, she could never marry you!
24:36He suddenly looked at me like grasping at straws.
24:41Elena, tell me this isn't true.
24:43You teamed up with him to trick me, right?
24:48Cole.
24:51It's true.
24:54I'm married to Damien now and I don't love you anymore.
24:57Cole's eyes went wide.
24:58He clenched his trembling hands into fists.
25:01His eyes went bloodshot.
25:03Why?
25:04Why would you do this to me?
25:05We were together for eight years!
25:07I let out a mocking laugh.
25:10Oh, so you remember we were together for eight years?
25:13When you called off the wedding, you forgot?
25:17When you forced me to strip, you forgot?
25:20When you stopped my dad from going to the hospital, you forgot?
25:24That's because...
25:25Cole's face turned completely white.
25:27Regret filled his eyes.
25:29His lips moved.
25:30But he couldn't form a single excuse.
25:32Finally, he grabbed my wrist and tried to drag me away.
25:36Everything before was my fault.
25:39I'll apologize to your dad myself.
25:44But I will never let you marry Damien.
25:47Cole!
25:50Damien smashed a fist right into his face and pulled me safely behind him.
25:55Don't touch her with your dirty hands.
25:59Motherf***er, you actually hit me!
26:03Cole wiped the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand.
26:06He got ready to swing back at Damien.
26:08I quickly stepped up and slapped him hard across the face.
26:13This is my wedding, not a place for your tantrums.
26:15Cole, don't make me hate you.
26:17His raised hand slowly dropped down.
26:20His jaw tightened.
26:21In the end, he just glared at Damien with red eyes.
26:23You dared to steal my girl.
26:25Just you wait.
26:28Damien let out a disdainful scoff.
26:32Instead of talking trash to me, you'd better go check on your company.
26:37Cole froze and pulled out his phone.
26:39Calls flooded in.
26:40His inbox showed 99 plus messages.
26:46Investors were pulling out.
26:48His credit line was frozen.
26:52Suppliers were cutting him off.
26:54At this rate, he'd be bankrupt in less than three business days.
26:59Cole snapped his head up to look at Damien.
27:01You did this!
27:03Damien's men rushed over, grabbed Cole and dragged him out.
27:11I wait at you!
27:13His friends just looked at each other in fear.
27:15None of them dared to step up and help.
27:17Step out!
27:20The hall finally went quiet after the doors shut.
27:22The wedding march started playing again.
27:28Damien acted like that whole mess never happened.
27:30He dropped a kiss on the back of my hand.
27:32Baby, is this the kissing part?
27:35Outside, Damien pulled Cole into the bushes.
27:38His friends rushed over.
27:40Cole, you need to check on the company.
27:42No, I have to find Elena.
27:44All he could see was my hand resting in Damien's.
27:46My smile and devotion poured onto another man.
27:49Right now, it felt like his heart was being crushed raw.
27:51He could barely breathe.
27:53Cole scrambled up from the ground and tried to run back inside.
27:58Are you insane?
27:59We dumped so much money into your startup.
28:02If you don't fix this, who's going to cover our losses?
28:05Chloe finally caught up, panic all over her face.
28:07Cole, why are my cards frozen?
28:09My personal shopper just called and said my accounts are empty.
28:11You need to do something!
28:13Everyone was screaming in Cole's ears.
28:15He finally couldn't take it anymore.
28:18Enough!
28:19My wife just ran off with another man.
28:21And you're all here pressuring me for money?
28:23You guys are pathetic!
28:28You have the nerve to talk about your investments?
28:30You just put in a few tens of thousands and took a 10% cut.
28:34You've been making bank off me for years!
28:36He turned to look at Chloe.
28:38That face used to make him feel protective.
28:40Now it just looked absolutely disgusting.
28:43And you!
28:44If you hadn't brought up that stupid bet, Alina would never have married him!
28:49It's all your fault.
28:51Otherwise, I'd be the one marrying her right now.
28:54Tears streamed down his face.
28:58He lunged at Chloe.
29:00The guys around him quickly held him back.
29:05Cole, calm down!
29:07How dare you blame me?
29:09I didn't tell you to rig the whole damn jar.
29:12You're the one who didn't want to get married!
29:15Say that again, you b****!
29:16Cole's eyes were blood red.
29:18He clenched his fist so hard his veins popped.
29:22Alright, Cole.
29:23Alina and Damien are officially married now.
29:25Talking about it won't change anything.
29:27His friend grabbed his shoulder and pulled him away from Chloe.
29:30The most important thing right now is to save the company.
29:33After all, a part of this company belongs to Alina too, right?
29:39You built this business together for eight years.
29:42You can't just let it die!
29:44Hearing my name seemed to snap Cole out of his frenzy.
29:46A bit of clarity returned to his eyes, and he nodded stiffly.
29:50You're right.
29:51Once I stabilize the company, I'll transfer all the shares to Alina.
29:54That way she'll definitely forgive me.
29:56Hearing this, the others looked annoyed, but they didn't say anything else and just followed
30:00him back to work.
30:01After the wedding, Damien went with me to see my dad at the hospital.
30:05My dad was holding his phone and watching the wedding replay.
30:08He was smiling from ear to ear.
30:11Alina, I really like this son-in-law.
30:15Damien visits me every holiday and brings me food.
30:18He even insisted on buying me a new truck before, but I refused.
30:23When did this happen?
30:25Damien, how come I didn't know?
30:27I couldn't let you catch me trying to win over my future father-in-law.
30:30By the way, Dad, you can't refuse a truck from your son-in-law now.
30:36My dad nodded, then shook his head.
30:39I don't care about any of that.
30:41As long as you guys are happy, I don't need anything else.
30:44My eyes teared up, and I threw myself into my dad's arms.
30:48Dad, don't worry.
30:49Our family will have a great life from now on.
30:51Damien moved my dad into the best private hospital suite and hired a top medical team for his treatment.
30:57In public, Damien was the ruthless CEO.
31:00But in private, he helped my dad clean up, change clothes, and even cooked food for him personally.
31:06My heart softened.
31:09I remembered when my dad passed out back home.
31:11The neighbor called me in a panic.
31:13I begged Cole to go with me to take care of him.
31:15But he said he was too busy.
31:17I had to catch a flight back all by myself.
31:20Right before boarding, I saw Chloe's Instagram story.
31:23Cole had spent the whole day with her at the theme park.
31:25Only then did I realize he wasn't too busy.
31:28It was just that compared to Chloe.
31:30I was never a priority.
31:35Cole ran himself into the ground trying to save his startup.
31:38He begged all his connections for help, but doors slammed in his face.
31:42Nobody would cross Winters Group for a dying startup.
31:45Not when everyone knew who stood behind it.
31:48Three days later, his company collapsed.
31:50The Winters Group cut off every lifeline and swallowed what was left.
31:54His closest friends all became his creditors.
31:56They hounded him for money every single day.
31:59Chloe even emptied what she could and ran.
32:01She was terrified Cole would ask for the money back.
32:04But Damien's men stopped her at the airport.
32:07They handed her over to the cops.
32:09I filed charges for defamation and for illegal use of my dad's image.
32:14Damien's lawyers added harassment.
32:16Her live stream had too many viewers.
32:18It caused severe damage to my dad's reputation.
32:21She had to post a handwritten apology right on her own platform.
32:24Then she spent a month in the jail, no bail.
32:27Cole was completely out of options.
32:29He sold his houses and cars to pay down his debts.
32:32In the end, he dragged a few bags into a rundown rental.
32:36Barely a hundred square feet.
32:42The roof was leaking.
32:44The air reeked like a public restroom.
32:46But Cole actually felt a sense of nostalgia.
32:49It reminded him of our early days in that leaky basement.
32:52Back when we were dead broke.
32:54But loved each other with everything we had.
32:56Eight years later, his room was just as broken.
32:58But the girl who gave him her youth was never coming back.
33:02I saw Cole again a week later in my dad's hospital room.
33:05Damien and I walked in and saw him kneeling by dad's bed.
33:08He was choking back tears and confessing.
33:11It was all my fault before.
33:15I shouldn't have treated you and Elena like that.
33:17I remember you gave me the money to start my company.
33:19But I actually did those terrible things to you afterwards.
33:23I'm a bastard.
33:25Everything happening to me now is just karma.
33:27What are you doing here?
33:29I almost didn't recognize him.
33:30I was afraid he'd upset my dad, so I tried to pull him away.
33:33But my dad waved me off.
33:34Let him kneel.
33:36Cole, I didn't sell my house for you.
33:39I did it for my daughter.
33:44I still remember when you knelt before you crying.
33:47You promised to treat my daughter well for the rest of your life.
33:51I believed you.
33:52But on the wedding day, you humiliated both of us.
33:56You made my daughter get on her knees and slap herself.
33:59You wanted the same humiliation from me.
34:01I don't blame you.
34:03I blame myself for being blind.
34:06Please leave.
34:07You are no longer welcome here.
34:09Cole didn't argue.
34:10He stayed on his knees.
34:12Then he slapped himself three times.
34:14Finally, he slowly got up and looked at me.
34:18Elena, can we talk?
34:19He used to be clean cut.
34:21Now his eyes were bloodshot.
34:22His chin rough with stubble.
34:24He looked like hell.
34:26Let's go.
34:27I took him to a nearby plaza and sat on a bench.
34:30Kids chased each other around the fountain.
34:34This is so nice.
34:35We haven't sat like this in years.
34:38Elena, I'm sorry.
34:45Do you finally remember the vow you made eight years ago?
34:52So, I actually want to thank you.
34:53Because the 22-year-old Mai definitely wouldn't treat you like this.
34:56You reminded me who I used to be.
34:59In the beginning, I just wanted to give you a better life.
35:05Before I could even speak, he hurriedly wiped his tears.
35:09Elena, I wish you happiness.
35:11Yeah, you too.
35:12But I'm still not giving up on you.
35:16If Damien treats you badly, I'll take you away.
35:21I didn't respond to that.
35:23Goodbye.
35:24His back stiffened for a second, but he didn't turn around.
35:27He just waved his hand at me.
35:29I closed my eyes.
35:30The damp summer air brushed my face.
35:32It washed away the spreading bitterness in my heart.
35:35Finally, I stood and walked the other way.
35:38We would never see each other again.
35:40I was heading toward a better life.
35:45I was heading toward a better life.
