00:00I'm Rebecca, 22, dirty-minded, and my biggest wish, a husband who can satisfy me.
00:08Darling, you're so pretty.
00:09I want him inside me, again and again, giving me exactly what I want, just like this.
00:23But, it was all a dream.
00:25My husband, Samuel, 29.
00:30A successful current thought a body like that would give me perfect sex, but nope.
00:35He's frigid.
00:37Our marriage was a family arrangement set up by my grandfather.
00:56Before the marriage, I'd only met him twice.
00:59Back then, I still had hope for him.
01:08Samuel, from now on, I'm giving Rebecca to you.
01:13Grandfather, I promise I'll treat Rebecca well.
01:24First time I met him, a private dinner grandpa set up.
01:28Huntsman suit.
01:29Calm.
01:30Polite.
01:31Didn't smile once.
01:34This man is gorgeous.
01:35I wonder if he even has sexual needs.
01:46Have some restraint.
01:57The second time was the engagement party.
02:00I tried to kiss him, and he caught me in his arms.
02:04My heart was pounding.
02:06I thought he wanted to kiss me.
02:08I even imagined how sweet it'd be.
02:11But I read it wrong.
02:12And I didn't have sex for three years.
02:24You seem a little unsteady.
02:26Are your heels uncomfortable?
02:29No.
02:33Would a normal man push away his own fiance's kiss?
02:37I had a feeling.
02:39No passion ahead.
02:46Life after marriage confirmed all my suspicions.
02:54His life was like a machine.
02:57Up at six.
02:58Breakfast.
02:59Work.
03:00Home at nine on the dot.
03:02He gave me everything money could buy.
03:05But one thing was missing.
03:07No sex.
03:08Darling.
03:12It's colder today.
03:13Put on another jacket.
03:19Is this position more comfortable?
03:21I don't want your legs to go numb.
03:26The first month of marriage, I thought he was just being reserved.
03:30But...
03:32Baby.
03:33Shouldn't we do what married couples do?
03:38If you're tired, darling, get some rest.
03:41I was tired.
03:43Tired here.
03:49The more I thought, the more I knew.
03:51We were never meant to be.
03:54We were never meant to be.
03:54I was fire.
03:55He was a machine.
03:57Always calm.
03:59Never phased.
04:01Three months.
04:03I gave up.
04:05Every move went nowhere.
04:07Half a year.
04:08I started wondering.
04:09Was something wrong with him?
04:11One year.
04:12I went numb.
04:13By year three, I was done.
04:16My marriage to Samuel, a glass of ice water.
04:20No warmth at all.
04:22Was he good to me?
04:24Yes.
04:28Darling.
04:29Here.
04:30Buy whatever you want.
04:31Just swipe the card.
04:36Always polite.
04:37Always proper.
04:39The black card let me spend however I wanted.
04:42Jewelry.
04:43Gowns.
04:44Anything.
04:45I could go anywhere on vacation.
04:47But there was one thing.
04:50He never touched me.
04:58Darling, goodnight.
05:04Even our goodnight kisses?
05:06Like a strict ritual.
05:08Mechanical.
05:09Buy the book.
05:09Then he'd turn his back.
05:11Close his eyes.
05:13Sleep.
05:17I was 22.
05:19And already a widow.
05:21I want a divorce.
05:30Once divorce came to mind.
05:31I couldn't shake it.
05:42Actually, Samuel wasn't wrong.
05:44I wasn't disappointed in him either.
05:47I had just given up on this arranged marriage.
05:50But what really pushed me?
05:55Vivian.
05:56My best friend.
05:58Dinner.
05:59And then she brought up Samuel.
06:03Rebecca.
06:04Let me tell you something.
06:06Don't get mad.
06:07Vivian looked at me.
06:08Dead serious.
06:10What?
06:12Last time you asked me to grab that bag,
06:14I went to your house.
06:17Samuel's study door was open.
06:21I saw a photo of a woman on his desk.
06:24Not you.
06:28I felt my heart pound hard.
06:32What?
06:43Maybe Samuel never felt anything for me.
06:46Maybe he compromised too.
06:48Maybe this marriage was never about us.
06:51But no love is no love.
06:54No point forcing it.
06:56Divorce.
06:57A way out for both of us.
07:01Why haven't you eaten?
07:02I told you.
07:03I'm busy.
07:04You don't have to wait for me.
07:08What is this?
07:11Divorce papers.
07:20You want a divorce.
07:21Give me a reason.
07:23Samuel's voice was still gentle.
07:26But I could barely look him in the eye.
07:31I cheated on you.
07:42Samuel slowly raised his head and smiled at me.
07:44I'd never seen this smile before.
07:46It was different from his usual gentle smile.
07:49There was something in it that scared me.
07:52Who is it?
07:54My blood ran cold.
07:56I couldn't tell the truth.
07:57I hadn't cheated.
07:59I just knew Samuel.
08:02He cared about appearances.
08:04If I said divorce, he'd never sign.
08:06He'd just ask what he did wrong.
08:08And say he could change.
08:14So I needed a reason he couldn't argue with.
08:17I thought and thought.
08:18And picked the cruelest one.
08:20Cheating.
08:21If I said it to his face, he could never keep me.
08:25I watched his hands.
08:27Cutting.
08:27Slow.
08:28Like he was holding something back.
08:33It's...
08:35It's just a name.
08:37Haven't thought of one yet.
08:40You don't need to know.
08:41Just sign.
08:43I asked you.
08:45Who is it?
08:46Samuel slowly leaned in.
08:48His tone was still gentle.
08:49But I felt like he was a beast ready to strike.
08:52About to lose control.
08:58I steeled myself and made up a name.
09:02Lucian.
09:05I casually said the name of a college classmate.
09:08I heard he'd already gone abroad.
09:10So it shouldn't affect him.
09:14Lucian?
09:19I couldn't hear him.
09:21Just his silhouette.
09:22By the window.
09:23Back straight.
09:23Like a statue.
09:28Wait a moment.
09:29Wait for what?
09:30Result.
09:32I didn't know what result he meant.
09:33But that word, wait.
09:34It made my skin crawl.
09:36Two hours.
09:37I sat there.
09:38Anxious.
09:38I wanted to tell him to sign.
09:40But the pressure coming off him,
09:42it choked every word.
09:44At the three hour mark,
09:46Samuel's phone rang.
09:48Understood.
09:52Lucian.
09:52Male, 26.
09:54Went to Canada last August.
09:55PhD at the University of Toronto.
09:57Quantum physics.
09:59What are you talking about?
10:00Your last interaction?
10:02A group project.
10:03Junior year.
10:04Same group.
10:05A marketing PowerPoint.
10:06After that.
10:07Nothing.
10:08Samuel said it all in one breath.
10:10Neither fast nor slow.
10:12But his tone was ice cold.
10:16So, how'd you cheat with a quantum physics PhD in Canada?
10:20Long distance?
10:25You investigated me?
10:27My voice shook.
10:28More than I expected.
10:30I wasn't investigating you.
10:33Lucian's photo.
10:35Resume.
10:35Travel records.
10:37Everything.
10:38Even his under-cred GPA.
10:39I was investigating him.
10:41You said you cheated.
10:42I needed to know who my opponent was.
10:45Opponent.
10:46Not that man.
10:47Not your lover.
10:48Opponent.
10:49Like it was war.
10:52My mind went blank.
10:54This wasn't how it should go.
10:56He should be furious.
10:57Slam a glass.
10:58Call me a bitch.
10:59Sign the papers.
10:59Throw me out.
11:00Isn't that what normal men do?
11:02Samuel, whether it's Lucian or not, I cheated.
11:05This marriage-
11:05You didn't cheat.
11:07He cut me off.
11:09These three months.
11:10Gym.
11:11Every Tuesday and Friday.
11:12Dinner with Vivian.
11:13Wednesday nights.
11:14Home the rest of the time.
11:15No hotel expenses.
11:17No unknown numbers over three minutes.
11:19You've been watching me this whole time?
11:22Samuel didn't deny it.
11:24My blood went cold.
11:25He just looked at me.
11:27Something in his eyes.
11:29Something new.
11:30Three years of coldness.
11:31Gentleness.
11:32Politeness.
11:33Like a saint.
11:34And then, a different man.
11:35Maybe he never changed.
11:37The mask just cracked.
11:38Rebecca.
11:39He said my name.
11:40Like before.
11:42But different.
11:44Before, water.
11:46Now, a snake.
11:47Coiling around me.
11:49I couldn't escape.
11:52If you don't want me anymore, tell me.
11:54But don't lie.
11:55Don't say cheating.
11:56Do you know what I was thinking?
12:00There was something in that laugh that made my skin crawl.
12:03I was thinking what to do with that man.
12:09Make him disappear from this city.
12:11Or from this world.
12:13Three hours.
12:14Four plans.
12:16Everyone made sure he'd never touch you again.
12:18His eyes were calm.
12:20Dead calm.
12:21Then I found out.
12:23You didn't cheat.
12:24You lied.
12:25And for a second.
12:27I felt relieved.
12:30Not because you were innocent.
12:32Because I didn't have to get my hands dirty.
12:34The light was warm.
12:35His eyes weren't.
12:36For the first time, I saw him.
12:38The real him.
12:39The Samuel of three years.
12:41Fake.
12:42A performance.
12:43The real man.
12:44Three hours.
12:45Four ways to make someone vanish.
12:51Fine.
12:53I didn't cheat.
12:54But Samuel, we're really not right for each other.
13:00We're really not right for each other.
13:02I changed my words.
13:03This time, the truth.
13:05A girl full of dirty thoughts.
13:07A cold, asteric saint.
13:09No.
13:09A man hiding something under a mask.
13:11We weren't right.
13:13Just sign it.
13:14I don't want anything.
13:15Your money is yours.
13:17Samuel didn't pick up a pen.
13:18He flipped through it.
13:20Then he turned to the last page.
13:22My signature.
13:25Rebecca.
13:26He said my name.
13:27Once.
13:27His finger brushed my signature.
13:29Like it was precious.
13:31Then he closed the papers.
13:32Gently.
13:34Where exactly aren't we right?
13:36He was provoking me.
13:37Where do you want me to start?
13:38Three years.
13:40Polite.
13:40Like I'm a tenant.
13:41You don't even look at what I wear.
13:43Even sex.
13:44You act like you couldn't finish.
13:45Not from embarrassment.
13:47Because Samuel was smiling.
13:49The kind of smile you can't hide.
13:51When something's really amusing.
13:53Like what?
13:54Don't you know?
13:55I know.
14:02What are you doing?
14:04He stopped close.
14:05Too close.
14:06Looking down at me.
14:07His breath.
14:09Burning hot.
14:10Three years.
14:10I never touched you.
14:12Do you know why?
14:17Because you didn't want to?
14:20This smile was different.
14:21Like madness.
14:22Held back too long.
14:23Because I was afraid.
14:24Afraid once I touched you I couldn't stop.
14:27Afraid if you knew the real me you'd run.
14:29So I pretended.
14:30Three years.
14:31His fingertips were cold.
14:32And trembling.
14:33For three years I pretended to be gentle.
14:35Respectable.
14:36Like I didn't want you.
14:37But now you're leaving.
14:39So why should I keep pretending?
14:43Not tight.
14:44But I couldn't break free.
14:46Samuel!
14:47You're insane!
14:50Maybe.
14:54His lips touched mine.
14:56And my only thought.
14:58This isn't the Samuel I know.
15:02You!
15:03Rebecca.
15:05Isn't this what you've always wanted?
15:13I was gasping.
15:15Almost suffocating.
15:17And he kept going.
15:19Harder.
15:19And harder.
15:22You said we're not right for each other?
15:25Oh no darling.
15:26I-
15:26This kiss was burning.
15:28Urgent.
15:29Three years of suppression.
15:31Finally erupting.
15:32Like a caged beast.
15:34Breaking free.
15:38Don't deny it.
15:40Tonight?
15:41Let's find out just how right we are.
15:54That night.
15:55My whole world you were over entered.
15:57Samuel.
15:58Again and again.
16:00One peek after another.
16:06After the climax.
16:07He stopped.
16:08Unlocked the chain.
16:10Carried me back to bed.
16:25go to sleep good night three years get some rest put on a jacket all an act every word

16:48in the morning i woke up from a dream so exhausted i was paralyzed on the bed unable to move

22:21i looked at his back
22:22vivian's words came back
22:24i deserve better
22:26i didn't know what better was
22:28but this marriage
22:30it was suffocating me
22:33a week before i asked for divorce
22:35she took me to dinner
22:37that day
22:38she told me
22:39a photo
22:40in samuel's study
22:41a strange woman
22:43he probably liked someone else
22:46what did she look like
22:48i didn't see clearly
22:49he noticed me
22:51but when he put it away
22:52his expression was very gentle
22:54not the polite kind he shows you
22:56the kind that comes from truly liking someone
22:58when vivian said this
23:00her eyes were bright
23:01carrying a faint excitement
23:03but i didn't notice it at the time
23:05i just felt like someone had stabbed me in the chest
23:07so my husband wasn't without desire
23:10he just had no desire for me
23:12his love was reserved for someone else
23:18i don't remember when i got home that day
23:21i only remember sitting in the car for a long time
23:27rebecca don't be sad
23:28i'm here for you
23:30worst case just get divorced
23:31you're still young
23:32don't ever settle for less
23:42i kept wondering
23:43what was samuel doing in there
23:45was he thinking about the woman in the photo
23:54a feeling i'd never felt before surged up
23:57i finally made up my mind
23:59maybe divorce was the way out
24:06the next day i went to see a lawyer
24:10the agreement stated irreconcilable differences
24:12and mutual consent to divorce
24:14i didn't want any assets
24:16over three years i'd spent a lot of his money
24:19but those things could never fill an empty marriage
24:27figured out what to say yet
24:29maybe say irreconcilable differences
24:32samuel should agree to that right
24:34no
24:35i'll say i cheated
24:38that works too
24:39he should accept it more easily that way
24:45that day
24:46i thought the divorce was settled
24:48i never expected to accidentally uncover samuel's mask
24:57madam what would you like for breakfast
25:01eggs benedict please
25:04realizing i'd been spacing out
25:06i felt a little embarrassed

25:20madam the master isn't what you see on the surface
25:23what do you mean
25:27the second drawer in the study
25:48in the end i decided to uncover the whole truth
25:53i pushed the door open
25:55everything looked normal
25:57all the items neatly arranged
25:59spotless
26:00just like samuel
26:02flawless on the surface
26:13i opened to the first page
26:15it was a photo of me trying on clothes at the mall
26:17with the date noted below
26:18it was the fourth month after our wedding
26:20i tried on a red dress at the mall
26:22and didn't end up buying it
26:23second page
26:24about my spending records
26:26every transaction labeled with time
26:28location
26:29amount
26:29he even noted what flavor of yogurt i bought at the convenience store
26:32this table listed the places i frequented
26:35how often i went
26:36and how long i usually stayed
26:38she goes to the flower shop irregularly
26:40she likes smelling flowers
26:42her favorite are cream colored austin roses
26:44so on our third wedding anniversary i'll give her roses
26:48my three years of life were recorded in this folder
26:50down to the smallest detail
26:52more detailed than any file
26:54there was only one sentence written on it
26:57she's been getting closer to vivian lately
27:00something's wrong
27:00but i can't act yet
27:03wait for her to find out herself
27:07vivian
27:10my mind was a complete mess
27:13he'd been recording me for three years
27:15he wasn't indifferent to me
27:17he cared too much
27:19cared to the point of obsession
27:21but what did that last line mean
27:23that something was wrong with vivian
27:27there was no label on the cover
27:29only in the bottom right corner
27:31written in tiny letters
27:32she is mine
27:39rebecca are you home
27:41come out
27:42i have something to tell you
27:44what is it
27:45about samuel's secret
27:47she lowered her voice on the phone
27:49her tone excited and nervous
27:51i found some things
27:52i found some things
27:53about his study
27:54you have to hear this
27:58the last line from the folder surfaced in my mind
28:02she's been getting closer to vivian lately
28:04something's wrong but i can't act yet
28:06wait for her to find out herself
28:10okay tell me the place
28:12i'm on my way
28:14vivian
28:15my best friend
28:16what on earth was she hiding from you
28:22okay
28:32rebecca
28:33don't freak out
28:39but it felt fake
28:40before
28:41i couldn't tell
28:42today
28:43after that folder
28:44i saw it
28:45a flicker of excitement
28:47what is it
28:49remember
28:50the photo in samuel's study
28:52he started investigating you
28:54because of that woman
28:55good thing i stopped it first
28:58from the angle
28:59it looked like two people very close together
29:01in an ambiguous relationship
29:03that was last month
29:04i was at a cafe
29:05and an acquaintance greeted me
29:07the conversation
29:08less than three minutes
29:09but the angle was cleverly chosen
29:11capturing only the two of us
29:13talking intimately
29:13this kind of precise shot
29:15clearly meant someone was following me
29:17secretly photographing me
29:18and that person was most likely
29:20the one sitting across from me
29:21looking so concerned
29:23vivian
29:24rebecca
29:25don't blame me for meddling
29:30i did it for you
29:33for me
29:35yes
29:35look at these photos
29:37if samuel saw them
29:39what you said about cheating was made up
29:41but if he saw these photos
29:43he might believe it
29:45i looked at vivian's worried expression
29:47but my heart was ice cold
29:50so what do you think i should do
30:01this was completely different
30:02from what i drafted
30:03the asset division terms in this agreement
30:06stated that after divorce
30:07i would get 15% of samuel's company shares
30:09three properties
30:10and 20 million in cash
30:11that's way too much
30:14that's exactly why i'm fighting for you
30:18aren't we best friends
30:19i looked into vivian's eyes
30:21and suddenly felt that what flickered there
30:23wasn't concern but anticipation
30:25she seemed to be looking forward to me
30:27and samuel tearing each other apart completely
30:29when did you prepare this agreement
30:31just
30:32just a couple days ago
30:35didn't you say you wanted a divorce
30:37so i found a lawyer for you in advance
30:46then why does this date say a month ago
30:48at that time i don't think i'd even decided to divorce yet
31:03rebecca every time you talk to me
31:05i can feel how unhappy you are
31:08so i prepared it in advance
31:11thanks then
31:12i'll take a good look when i get home
31:22vivian showed a look of relief
31:25it only lasted three seconds
31:26but i saw it
31:33on the way home
31:34i pulled over and sat for a long time
31:36my best friend
31:37a friendship that started in college
31:39i thought she understood me better than anyone in the world
31:43turns out she understood me just to use me
31:46you deserve better
31:47he doesn't love you
31:49you might as well let go early
31:52everything vivian ever said to me
31:53was all to push me toward divorce
31:55and every time she talked about my husband
31:57her eyes burnt
31:59she'd probably already thought about being with samuel
32:01after i divorced him
32:02and i called someone like that my best friend
32:21i'm sorry
32:25what's wrong
32:28how was i supposed to say it
32:30because of my stupidity
32:31i almost pushed him out of my world forever
32:38vivian had woven an entire web of lies
32:41pushing me step by step
32:43towards the cliff of divorce
32:44and she was waiting on the other side of that cliff
32:46ready to take over samuel
32:49i'm so stupid
32:50i treated a scheming enemy
32:51as my most trusted friend
32:53it's all in the past now
32:56drink some water
32:57i added honey just for you
33:11tonight samuel had gone back to that gentle composed appearance
33:13as if the man who held a chain in his hand last night
33:16completely out of control was just a fleeting nightmare
33:18you went to see vivian
33:19how much of the truth do you know now
33:22the secretly taken photos
33:23the divorce agreement grafted a month in advance
33:25she's been inciting me to break with you
33:28but i still don't understand
33:29why would she risk everything just to tear us apart
33:47come here
33:49after you see these you'll understand
33:54the first stack was all of vivian's communication records
33:57from the day i got married
33:58every time she finished a meal with me
34:00she immediately sent messages to a strange number
34:03today i fed rebecca the idea that samuel doesn't care about her again
34:06she believes it now
34:09just wait a little longer
34:10she's about to break down
34:12she'll bring up divorce soon enough
34:17who's the recipient?
34:19julian her cousin partner at a small law firm
34:23that unusually generous divorce agreement was drafted by him
34:33and this vivian used your name to frequently attend internal corporate cocktail parties
34:37she also secretly contacted mid-level management
34:40fishing for internal business intelligence
34:42she even impersonated you to request access to my office surveillance footage
34:46leonard my chief assistant stopped her directly
34:48what she wants isn't just you
34:50she's also eyeing the company's interests
34:52a greedy person's desire never stops at just one thing
35:05all secretly taken photos of me
35:07capturing brief moments of me talking to passers-by
35:10deliberately choosing tricky angles to create the illusion of intimacy
35:18please
35:22i had no idea at all
35:33this was vivian's secret account never shown to anyone
35:36filled with secretly taken photos of samuel and news clippings
35:40the earliest post was from five years ago
35:42if only i had been the one to accept the marriage alliance back then
35:46why rebecca she doesn't deserve him at all
35:49soon my chance will come
35:52five whole years
35:54she's been obsessed with you for five years
35:57that's not admiration
35:59that's obsessive fixcation
36:05i only like my wife
36:08don't say that right now
36:12the first year after we married vivian came to the estate as a guest
36:16i could tell something was off about her
36:17so i had leonard start an investigation and dug up this anonymous account
36:26and then
36:27and then i knew everything
36:29why she got close to you pushed you toward divorce
36:31secretly photographed you
36:32all to replace you
36:33years of friendship
36:34every caring word
36:36every hug
36:36every i'm doing this for your own blood
36:38was carefully calculated
36:41for a moment nausea churned in my stomach
36:43i almost threw up
36:47i was furious at vivian
36:49and furious at him too
36:51you knew everything
36:52why didn't you tell me
36:53you waited three years
36:54three years
37:02because she was the best friend you decided on
37:06i froze
37:07i never expected that answer
37:11if i told you to cut her off right after we married
37:13what would you have thought of me
37:19i
37:21you'd think i was maliciously driving a wedge in your friendship
37:24meddling in your social life
37:26that would only push you further away
37:35so i chose to wait
37:37wait for you to tear off her disguise yourself
37:39wait for you to tell me with your own words that you didn't want to see her anymore
37:42as long as you said it
37:43all the remaining trouble would be handled by me
37:47only in this moment did i understand
37:50beneath all this seemingly on present recording and watching
37:53what was hidden was actually his caution about our relationship
37:56he was even afraid of being abandoned by me
37:59vivian never treated me as a friend
38:01then all this mess between her and me should be settled once and for all
38:04good
38:06then leave the rest to me
38:07now my dear wife
38:08shouldn't we do a little married couple's business
38:25the next morning i was woken by samuel's good morning kiss
38:28last night was too intense and i was a little sore
38:32there'll be some trouble today
38:33try not to check your phone messages
38:50at first i didn't understand what trouble he meant
38:53until noon when everything exploded
38:56we're sorry we will be suspending cooperation with your company
39:02why isn't anyone answering again
39:10in an instant all of vivian's family business partnerships were terminated
39:14their commercial lifeline was cut off directly
39:19did you hear vivian pretended to be a best friend
39:22secretly photographed mrs samuel
39:24she was trying to replace her
39:26lurking around her friend
39:28for three whole years
39:29truly horrifying
39:36rebecca
39:37what did samuel do to me
39:38aren't we best friends
39:47full screenshots of vivian's anonymous account were forwarded to several high-siley social groups
39:53five years of hidden jealousy
39:55secret photography and obsession
39:58all made public
40:01lurking around her best friend to steal someone else's partner
40:04what a real-life conspiracy drama
40:07she's completely ruined now isn't she
40:11julian was placed under investigation
40:13for drafting a fraudulent divorce agreement
40:16all of vivian's allies crumbled in a single day
40:41vivian's matter is handled she won't bother you again
40:45wasn't that going too far
40:48she secretly photographed you
40:50schemed against you
40:51did everything she could to destroy your marriage
40:53i only took one day to settle it
40:55for me that's already restrained
40:59leonard suggested submitting her past grey market dealings to the regulators as well
41:03what do you think
41:06no need
41:07ruin is already the price
41:09no need to hunt her to the very end
41:15hearing my answer
41:16the arm around my shoulder tightened slightly
41:18as if confirming that i was still by his side
41:24for three whole years
41:25every night at bedtime
41:27samuel would turn his back to me
41:28but tonight
41:29he lay in bed facing me
41:31eyes open waiting quietly
41:33why are you staring at me
41:36what do you think
41:37it's night night my sweetheart
41:39why do you want to have sex again
41:41isn't this the ideal life
41:43you've been hoping for
41:55his embrace was firm and strong
41:56his chin resting on top of my head
41:59his breath falling into my hair
42:04rebecca
42:05thank you for not signing those divorce papers
42:09i wanted to sign them
42:10you're the one who wouldn't allow it
42:13and from now on i still won't allow it
42:15rebecca don't leave me
42:20the brief calm only lasted four days
42:22vivian showed up at the door directly
42:24no call
42:25no message
42:26she appeared at the estate gate in person
42:28today rebecca ate three strawberries
42:30one was too sour
42:31she took a bite and threw it away
42:33what on earth was samuel writing
42:35he wrote about me in such detail
42:42now she had no dignity left at all
42:44she looked like a mad woman
42:46rebecca
42:47come out
42:48mrs vivian please leave
42:50you're not welcome here
42:52rebecca
42:52do you feel no guilt
42:54you let samuel destroy everything i have
42:56all these years of friendship
42:57and this is how you treat me
43:04it all started because you set the trap first
43:06i've been wronged
43:08rebecca we're friends
43:09best friends
43:10even now she still liked playing the victim
43:12but i didn't believe her anymore
43:14maybe we were once
43:15but now we're nothing
43:17i have all the evidence
43:18and you can't even be bothered to keep up the act
43:22yes i did it all
43:24so what why you
43:26i've adored samuel for five whole years
43:28and you just because of one family arrangement got to marry him so easily
43:31you're clueless
43:32you don't know how to cherish him at all
43:34so that gives you the right to wreck my marriage however you want
43:37you think you won
43:38rebecca
43:39you don't know samuel at all
43:40he had an ex-girlfriend named daisy
43:42did you know that
43:44what daisy
43:45seems you don't know
43:46poor rebecca
43:46back then daisy tried to break up with samuel
43:49and he locked her in the basement for a whole month
43:51she went insane
43:55hearing that my heart skipped a beat
43:58what daisy
43:59why had i never heard samuel mention her
44:01today he can destroy me
44:03tomorrow he can do the same to you
44:04sooner or later you'll end up the same way
44:06you can go verify it yourself
44:14madam
44:16daisy
44:17do you know the whole story about this person
44:24the master has never had a girlfriend
44:26from age 20 until now
44:28you are his only partner
44:30then who exactly is daisy
44:33she's just the daughter of a distant relative of the family
44:35the master only met her once
44:37she's now married to another man and settled overseas
44:40living a stable and comfortable life
44:42madam you must believe the master
44:44vivian doesn't even know him
44:46at most what she said is just baseless rumor
44:50i understand butcher
44:51of course i believe my husband
44:55objectively speaking
44:57vivian wasn't entirely lying
44:59samuel had a nearly pathological possessiveness toward me
45:03but he'd also endured for three whole years
45:06patiently waiting for me to see the truth myself
45:09someone truly insane wouldn't have left me any room to choose
45:14pathologic possession
45:15yet still keeping a measure of respect
45:16all these contradictions concentrated in one man
45:19there was still some time before samuel came home
45:22maybe i should ask grandpa myself
45:24why he chose this marriage
45:29rebecca
45:30did something important happen
45:32or did you have a fight with samuel
45:33grandpa i want to confirm something
45:35this business marriage back then
45:37was it your idea
45:38or did samuel come to you himself
45:42you've been married three whole years
45:43and only now you think to ask about this
45:46please tell me the truth
45:50at the very beginning
45:51samuel came to visit in person
45:54he told me to my face
45:55that he hoped to marry my granddaughter
45:57samuel said he'd seen you long ago
45:59on a college campus
46:00he fell for your smile the moment he saw it
46:02after that he asked me to arrange the dinner
46:05to arrange this matchmaking marriage
46:06so from the very beginning
46:08every meeting was orchestrated by him
46:12exactly
46:13that boy's personality put nicely
46:16is devoted and deeply loving
46:17put realistically
46:19he's got obsession in his bones
46:23i had my concerns back then too
46:25worried you'd suffer after marriage
46:27but there are two kinds of men in this world
46:30one is gentle and kind to everyone
46:32the other saves all his gentleness for one person alone
46:36samuel is the latter
46:39that's why you agreed to our marriage
46:41he's only good to you
46:43being cherished by one person
46:45is always better than being ignored by one
46:47the first page of that black notebook
46:49surfaced in my mind
46:50the line written five years ago
46:51the first time i saw her
46:53she was loud
46:53but she had a beautiful smile
46:59vivian accused him of being a lunatic
47:02grandpa said he was full of deep love
47:04but only for me
47:08the two statements didn't contradict each other
47:10my husband samuel was a man
47:13whose obsession and madness
47:14were reserved only for me
47:20the butler later told me
47:21from the moment samuel learned i'd left for grandpa's estate
47:24he sat right here
47:26clutching this chain
47:27waiting for me to come back
47:37what are you doing
47:42you went to see grandpa
47:43it wasn't a question
47:45he knew my every move
47:48are you
47:50planning to leave me
47:56this man who could overturn the business world with a flip of his hand
47:59was now like a prisoner awaiting final judgment
48:02he seemed afraid i'd turn and leave
48:04afraid i'd abandon him
48:12are you really leaving
48:14samuel's five years of secret love
48:16three years of disguise
48:17in this moment
48:18all the masks shattered completely
48:20he'd staked everything on my answer right now
48:23just wanting to know the last possibility for our marriage
48:26rebecca what are you doing
48:33locked
48:33no one's allowed to leave
48:37the man who was always strategizing
48:39always in control of everything
48:41completely lost his composure in this moment
48:45rebecca do you understand what kind of choice you've made
48:48i love you to the point of madness
48:49maybe one day my possessiveness will spiral out of control
48:52you'll regret it
48:54even now you still want to play the gentleman
48:56you tied me up
48:57you destroyed my former friend
48:59and now you tell me you're worried i'll regret it
49:01too late
49:09samuel's arms were wrapped tightly around me
49:12like he wanted to merge us into one
49:14but in this moment
49:15i was willing to go mad with him
49:18you said it yourself
49:20no taking it back
49:22i'll never take it back
49:25after five long years of waiting
49:26samuel finally got the answer he'd been longing for
49:30tonight want to try me on top
49:38okay
49:40anything you like we can try
49:44i held his waist and slowly lowered myself
49:47feeling his burning heat grind slowly against my most sensitive place
49:52then inch by inch being swallowed by me
49:55samuel's disguise peeled off completely
49:57he no longer played the restrained distant asterisk saint
50:00this chain had become a ridiculous yet special keepsake between us
50:08every time i see it
50:09i remember that night
50:13don't get any ideas
50:14no using it whenever you want from now on
50:19that depends on your behavior
50:30every day after that
50:32a kiss before leaving for work
50:33a hug the moment he got home at night
50:45if i talked to a man for more than five minutes
50:47samuel showed no displeasure on the surface
50:50but by night
50:51he'd take it back from my body through action
50:57i won't stop recording every little thing about you
51:00recording everything about you is the most important thing in my life
51:04but from now on you can look through it whenever you want
51:09don't you think this behavior is a little sick
51:13maybe it is
51:15but you accepted all of me
51:16that's enough
51:19he no longer snooped in secret
51:21all his favoritism and obsession were laid out in the sunlight
51:26on weekends
51:27samuel cooked for me himself
51:29as gentle as before
51:49i hit said
51:51just three seconds later
51:52samuel's comment popped up
51:56no
51:56i want everyone to know you belong to me
52:13hey
52:13what are you doing
52:20no need to announce it to the whole world
52:23as long as you know in your heart that i belong to you
52:26that's enough
52:29i can't even post one update
52:31your possessative is really carved into your bones
52:35my possessiveness only works on you
52:41my mind used to be full of all kinds of wild fantasies
52:44and samuel
52:45from beginning to end
52:46had only me in his mind
52:48we were quite a match
52:58his kiss was no longer bland like three years ago
53:01it was intense and burning
53:14rumor had it the samuels had a cold marriage
53:16looks like the rumors were all fake
53:19exactly
53:19look
53:20samuel's eyes haven't left his wife at all
53:47i could feel that although he kept up social courtesy on the surface
53:50his hand held me tighter
53:55yes
53:57rebecca is my wife now
54:00he and i have something else to do
54:01please excuse us
54:12he's just a college classmate
54:13you don't need to be so tense
54:17i just don't like others taking up too much of your attention
54:24any more news about vivian
54:27she and her cousin left the city for another state
54:29they won't bother us again
54:33sometimes i wonder
54:34if i hadn't learned the truth back then
54:36and actually took that forged divorce agreement
54:39and broke with you completely
54:40how would it have ended
54:43i would never have signed the divorce papers
54:46i would have used every method to keep you
54:49but that way i was afraid you'd be scared of me
54:53i looked out at the stretch of city lights in the distance
54:56if vivian hadn't pushed step by step
54:58if there hadn't been that divorce agreement
55:01samuel might have kept wearing that distant
55:03reserved mask and pretended indefinitely
55:07speaking of which five years ago
55:10why didn't you just come talk to me directly
55:12why go through this whole family marriage detour
55:17back then
55:17i was afraid approaching you rashly would scare you
55:21all i could do was use the marriage to earn the right
55:24to stay by your side legitimately
55:27i hope that with time
55:29you could slowly fall in love with the gentle
55:31restrained version of me i pretended to be
55:35but masks eventually break
55:39luckily
55:40after the mask broke
55:42you didn't run away
55:47a whole year had passed since samuel's disguise was completely torn away
55:56remember our third anniversary
55:58this was the same kind of rose i gave you
56:01back then i could only show you kindness while wearing a mask
56:04i remember vivian moked it back then said just one bouquet was too half-hearted
56:17leonard finished organizing all my old notes
56:19he asked if i wanted to seal them all away
56:23what did you say
56:25i chose to keep them all inside is all my longing and unease
56:29they belong to our past both of us
56:35five years of love at first sight three years of disguised endurance
56:39the chain the notebook countless records this man full of obsession no longer had to keep playing the distant desireless
56:46role
56:48every year from now on every day
56:51every year from now on every day i want to witness every joy and every worry of yours
56:54no more hiding
56:55no more pretending
56:58then you'd better prepare yourself
57:00i won't always be meek and obedient
57:04whatever you are
57:05i accept all of it
57:07some people's love is gentle as water
57:09but samuel's love was passionate and obsessive
57:12carrying a dangerous edge
57:14yet forever delivered to me
57:16and me alone
