00:00:00One month into my marriage to a four-star general, my own brother sold me for $100,000 to a
00:00:05scam compound near the Mexican border.
00:00:07People here run scams, traffic people, and sell organs.
00:00:10Killing someone means nothing to them.
00:00:12They tried to force me to sleep with men. I refused, and they beat me bloody.
00:00:18Please, don't touch me. I can call my husband. He'll bring money. Whatever you want. Please.
00:00:22Their leader was a man called Tiger. He picked up my phone and made me call my husband.
00:00:26Tell your husband to bring $20. One penny short, and you pay the rest with your body.
00:00:32I was Zane Moore's grandmother's care agent for three years.
00:00:35A month ago, I married the man I'd loved in secret for three years.
00:00:38But after we got married, he didn't spend a single day with me.
00:00:41Would a husband like that really pay $20 million to save me?
00:00:45The call connected. A woman's voice answered.
00:00:47Hello? Who is this?
00:00:49I'm Zane Moore's wife. Please put him on, okay?
00:00:52Zane's taking a nap. Whatever it is, you can tell me.
00:00:54Give him the phone. Right now!
00:00:56You just used his grandmother to force him into marrying you.
00:00:59Zane loves me. You're the one who came between us.
00:01:01Serves you right that after a month of marriage, he still hasn't touched you.
00:01:06Then I heard his voice faintly on the other end. Softer than I'd ever heard it.
00:01:09Gracie, who's on the phone?
00:01:11Scam call.
00:01:13The whole room burst out laughing. It felt like a knife went straight through my chest.
00:01:17A hundred times worse than the pain in my body.
00:01:19Grandma said he liked me too. So my three years of loving him from afar tore two other people apart.
00:01:25Boss, she said her husband's name is Zane Moore. You don't think it's General Moore from the National Defense Technologies
00:01:30Group, do you?
00:01:31Zane Moore, the man in charge of the National Defense Technologies Group.
00:01:34He'd fought in the worst battles in the Middle East and saved countless civilians. Just hearing his name was enough
00:01:38to scare people.
00:01:40Who dares sell his wife? Far as I know, he's not even married. Same name, that's all. Keep calling.
00:01:45I collapsed in the corner and closed my eyes. I don't know how much time passed. Then a deafening blast
00:01:50hit and the whole ground shook.
00:01:52Boss, they blew the gate. It's the National Defense Technologies Group. Your husband really is Zane Moore?
00:01:58I nodded. He pressed a gun to me and dragged me outside. Dozens of armored vehicles had the place surrounded.
00:02:04Hundreds of armed men stood ready. Two helicopters circled overhead. Snipers already had us in their sights.
00:02:10Some of them dropped their guns and fell to their knees, hands over their heads.
00:02:16A car door opened not far aware. A man stepped out. Zane Moore. And still, my heart started pounding.
00:02:25Let her go. Sir, I didn't know she was your wife. Let me go and I'll let her go.
00:02:33Zane never looked at me. He slowly raised his gun and aimed it at Tiger.
00:02:38If she dies, you die with her. Seven bullets will turn you into Swiss cheese.
00:02:44Then your wife dies with me.
00:02:46Seven shots exploded right by my ear. Blood sprayed across my face.
00:02:51Zane hadn't come to save me. He came for the thousands trapped in that scam compound.
00:02:55If one shot had gone wide and killed me, he probably wouldn't have cared.
00:02:58Everything went black and I collapsed.
00:03:00When I opened my eyes again, I was at Zane's headquarters.
00:03:03A woman stood by my bed, so polished she looked fake.
00:03:06You're awake. Zane asked me to bring you food.
00:03:09The second she spoke, I knew she was the woman from the call.
00:03:12Later, I found out her name was Gracie. She and Zane grew up together.
00:03:16Everyone said he'd been in love with her for over a decade.
00:03:21Me? Bringing you food and water? Please. You don't deserve it.
00:03:24She flung the tray to the floor, then threw herself down too.
00:03:27The door flew open. Zane rushed in, his aide Colt right behind him.
00:03:31Zane helped Gracie up.
00:03:32Are you okay?
00:03:33It's my fault. Sienna didn't want to eat, but I kept pushing. I made her mad.
00:03:38I've got this. Go get some rest.
00:03:40Her act was terrible, but he loved her so much, why would he ever doubt her?
00:03:44Why are you acting out?
00:03:46I'm not.
00:03:46If you ever do that to Gracie again, don't expect me to go easy on you.
00:03:50Every word he said to protect her felt like a whip across my skin.
00:03:54Mr. Moore, I didn't know you were forced to marry me.
00:03:56Your grandma said you liked me, that's why I said yes.
00:03:59But you loved someone else. And today, you fired without caring if you'd hit me.
00:04:03There's no reason to keep this marriage going.
00:04:04What do you mean?
00:04:05I want a divorce. His face went cold.
00:04:07Sienna Seton, 25, from DC. Dropped out at 15, ran away from home, and spent years working as a bottle
00:04:15girl in nightclubs.
00:04:16At 20, you married an 80-year-old man overseas. He was dead in less than two years.
00:04:20Busted twice for prostitution, 15 cosmetic procedures, 32 boyfriends.
00:04:25Three years ago, you came back to the States, got close to the General's grandmother, and did whatever it took
00:04:29to marry him.
00:04:31Someone like you lucked into becoming the General's wife, and you still have the nerve to ask for a divorce?
00:04:36Zayn just stood there. He didn't say a word to defend me.
00:04:39I lost my memory three years ago. I don't remember any of it. But I know I don't deserve you.
00:04:44When I want a divorce, I'll let you know.
00:04:46I won't stay in a marriage and name only just for your money. If you won't divorce me, then end
00:04:51things with Gracie and be a real husband to me. If you can't do that, I'll tell your grandmother. I
00:04:55want to divorce myself. I won't put you in that position. His face changed. He bent down, braced a hand
00:05:00on the head bed, and pinned me between him and the bed.
00:05:02Are you threatening me?
00:05:05I'm not threatening you. I just can't keep living like this.
00:05:09I'll give you that. You really did go out of your way to make yourself look a little like Gracie
00:05:13as a kid. No wonder my grandmother likes you so much.
00:05:15But I had no memory of ever having surgery to look like Gracie.
00:05:18Fine. I agree.
00:05:19He said that and left with Colt. Agree to what? Divorce? Or actually being husband and wife?
00:05:25That night, I came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel. Zane was in my room, shirt already off.
00:05:30He pulled a set of workout clothes from the closet and shoved them into my arms.
00:05:33Put them on.
00:05:35Mr. Moore? Why are you in my room?
00:05:37Weren't you the one who said you wanted us to be a real married couple?
00:05:45We're not getting divorced?
00:05:46Not for now.
00:05:48Then act like a husband.
00:05:49Fine.
00:05:51I took my blanket and pillow, made a bed on the floor, and turned off the light.
00:05:56A few seconds later, the lights came back on.
00:05:58What are you doing?
00:05:59Sleeping.
00:06:00He scooped me up, blanket and all, and threw me onto the bed.
00:06:03Then he loomed over me. He wasn't trying to sleep with me. Was he?
00:06:08My wife sleeps on the floor?
00:06:12I just thought you had feelings for someone else.
00:06:15I don't feel anything for you.
00:06:16Even if you stripped naked and danced in front of me, I wouldn't look twice.
00:06:19I definitely wouldn't touch you.
00:06:21My eyes sting, but I couldn't say a word.
00:06:25He froze for a second, then turned over and lay back down.
00:06:28Lights off. Go to sleep.
00:06:31Early the next morning, Zane's phone woke me up.
00:06:33He was answering it with his back to me.
00:06:36Morning, Gracie.
00:06:37You caught a cold?
00:06:38I'm coming over.
00:06:39I'm heading out.
00:06:41You promised me yesterday you'd be a real husband.
00:06:43Loyalty matters most in a marriage.
00:06:45Our families go way back.
00:06:46Gracie and I grew up together.
00:06:48There's nothing between us.
00:06:49Nothing between them?
00:06:50They obviously liked each other.
00:06:51He turned and walked out.
00:06:54Zane Moore, do you really have to go?
00:06:55You're married.
00:06:56Can't you send a doctor to check on her?
00:06:58He didn't look back.
00:07:00He opened the door and left.
00:07:02I laid face down on the bed, trying not to cry.
00:07:06I found out later that the second he stepped outside, he had a guard send a doctor to Gracie.
00:07:12He didn't go himself.
00:07:13He went back to work.
00:07:14Zane didn't come back for three days.
00:07:16Once I'd healed up, I was going sty-frucky.
00:07:19So I went to the training ground and asked an instructor to teach me self-defense.
00:07:22At the edge of the field, Gracie came over with Colt.
00:07:25She whispered in his ear for a long time, staring at me the whole time.
00:07:29I'll teach you.
00:07:30Close quarters combat.
00:07:31The second the instructor saw Colt, he stepped aside.
00:07:35Then Colt used the lesson as an excuse to slam me to the ground again and again.
00:07:39After a few rounds, my whole body felt wrecked.
00:07:42I don't want to do this anymore.
00:07:46If someone's choking you from behind, how do you break out?
00:07:49I couldn't breathe.
00:07:50Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Gracie standing there, smiling at me.
00:07:54Then I got it.
00:07:55Gracie had been trash-talking me to Colt.
00:07:57He was getting back at me for her.
00:08:02Stomp on his foot, then bend his thumb back.
00:08:05I did exactly that and hit the ground hard again.
00:08:11Everyone around us was watching me like I was a joke.
00:08:13Then someone grabbed my arm and pulled me up.
00:08:16It was Zane.
00:08:19Are you training her or screwing with her?
00:08:22General, I was teaching your wife self-defense.
00:08:24Back up.
00:08:25He never even looked at me, but that shove was to protect me.
00:08:28He took off his watch and handed it to me.
00:08:30Fight me.
00:08:31If you win, you stay.
00:08:32If you lose, get out.
00:08:34General, I can't beat you.
00:08:35Please don't fire me.
00:08:36Before he could finish, Zane sent him flying with one kick.
00:08:42Zane, stop!
00:08:43Colt was really trying to teach Sienna.
00:08:45You ran in like that.
00:08:46Weren't you scared I'd hit you?
00:08:48No.
00:08:48I knew you'd never hurt me.
00:08:49Zane stroked Gracie's hair, his eyes absurdly gentle.
00:08:52He was afraid he might hurt her in a fight.
00:08:54But when I was the hostage, he didn't hesitate to fire.
00:08:56Gracie hooked her arm through Zane's and let him out.
00:08:58General, I know I messed up.
00:09:01Sienna decides.
00:09:02I'm sorry.
00:09:03Please don't make me leave.
00:09:04This isn't worth costing him his job.
00:09:06Forget it.
00:09:07You can stay.
00:09:09Anything you need, just say the word.
00:09:10I didn't want to keep watching my husband act so affectionate with another woman.
00:09:14Give this back to the general for me.
00:09:15Where's the nearest airport?
00:09:17You're leaving?
00:09:17I'll take you tomorrow.
00:09:19That evening, I ran into Zane at the base.
00:09:22Colt was right behind him.
00:09:23I heard you're leaving tomorrow.
00:09:25Going back to ask Grandma for a divorce?
00:09:26You're only staying in this marriage because of Grandma.
00:09:29We're both miserable.
00:09:30Let's end it.
00:09:31Grandma threatened to die if I didn't marry you.
00:09:34You think she'll agree to a divorce now?
00:09:36If she won't, we'll do it quietly and keep pretending in front of her.
00:09:39You're threatening me with divorce?
00:09:41You went through all this to marry me for the money, didn't you?
00:09:44Name your price.
00:09:45How awful did he think I was?
00:09:48Sorry, I don't need your money.
00:09:49A slut like me has lived off men's dirty money for years.
00:09:52Now I want out.
00:09:53I just want to marry some loyal sucker.
00:09:55Zane looked furious.
00:09:57Sir, there was a chemical leak in Research Building 5.
00:10:00A lot of people were exposed and Gracie's still inside.
00:10:03Zane took off for the building.
00:10:05A chemical leak and he just ran in?
00:10:06I didn't stop to think.
00:10:08I ran after him.
00:10:11Research Building 5 was chaos.
00:10:12People kept stumbling out, covering their mouths.
00:10:15I was terrified something had happened to Zane,
00:10:17so I kept looking for him.
00:10:18Then I saw him carrying Gracie out and laying her on a gurney.
00:10:21All I could see was him.
00:10:23All he could see was her.
00:10:24Zane, don't go.
00:10:25I feel awful.
00:10:26I'm dying.
00:10:28Sir, everyone's out.
00:10:2935 people were poisoned.
00:10:30Professor Hale, what exactly leaked?
00:10:31Is it life-threatening?
00:10:32Agur solution.
00:10:33It's a new material we just brought in from overseas
00:10:35and we still don't fully understand it.
00:10:37Something this important doesn't just leak.
00:10:39How did it happen?
00:10:40It was Gracie.
00:10:41She went into the research building looking for something and accidentally knocked it over.
00:10:46That building is restricted.
00:10:47No one gets in without clearance.
00:10:49What were you looking for?
00:10:50Zane, you don't believe me?
00:10:51I'm poisoned too and you're still blaming me.
00:10:54As I listened, the answer suddenly came to me.
00:10:56I had no idea how I knew.
00:10:58But lives were on the line.
00:10:59I didn't have time to think.
00:11:00I stepped forward.
00:11:01Professor Hale, was there something with renium that spilled too?
00:11:04Yes.
00:11:05A renium or agent spilled too.
00:11:07But renium is usually used in fighter jet engines.
00:11:09It's not toxic.
00:11:10As your solution reacts with rudium and releases a colorless, odorless, toxic gas.
00:11:14Leave it too long and they'll vomit, pass out and die of dehydration.
00:11:18Their bodies are too acidic right now.
00:11:19Alkaline water should help.
00:11:21Find some baking soda in the kitchen, mix it with water and give everyone some.
00:11:25Yes ma'am.
00:11:26Everyone was staring at me.
00:11:28Zane too.
00:11:29Ma'am, have you studied chemistry?
00:11:30I don't remember.
00:11:31It's like adding salt when you cook.
00:11:33Just common sense.
00:11:34Once the alkaline water came, the poison staff drank it.
00:11:37Not long after, they stopped vomiting.
00:11:39Sir, it works.
00:11:40Gracie should have some.
00:11:41Gracie shot me a glare.
00:11:43I'm not drinking that.
00:11:44Sienna dropped out at 15.
00:11:45She's basically illiterate.
00:11:47The way everyone looked at me changed instantly.
00:11:49It stung, but I had no way to argue with her.
00:11:52Good for you, Gracie.
00:11:53Then don't drink it.
00:11:54I turned to leave.
00:11:55Then I heard Zane behind me.
00:11:57Colt, make sure she drinks it.
00:12:02That night, I sat on the balcony scrolling through my phone.
00:12:05Zane came back.
00:12:06He leaned against the balcony rail and just stared at me.
00:12:10Why are you looking at me like that?
00:12:12You really don't remember what happened three years ago?
00:12:14Yeah.
00:12:14I really don't remember.
00:12:15How much do you know about the Azure Solution?
00:12:17That data felt carved into my brain.
00:12:19It just came out.
00:12:20Azure Solution is mostly used in chemical and biological weapons.
00:12:23It's a pretty common raw material.
00:12:25You think it's common?
00:12:26I nodded.
00:12:27We paid 80 million dollars for 100 grams.
00:12:29Today, it was all destroyed.
00:12:30They don't teach this in school, so how do you know it?
00:12:32I shook my head.
00:12:33I'm having people dig into your past again.
00:12:35I lowered my head and said nothing.
00:12:36My past was ugly enough already.
00:12:38The more he found out, the more he'd hate me.
00:12:40When we get back, don't mention divorce to Grandpa.
00:12:41It'll make her condition worse.
00:12:43Sorry.
00:12:43I found a photo of a little girl in one of your books.
00:12:45On the back it said,
00:12:47The girl I love, Gracie.
00:12:48His hand stopped in the middle of unbuttoning his shirt.
00:12:50She's the one you really wanted to marry, isn't she?
00:12:52When we were kids, yeah, I liked her a lot.
00:12:53But she got into a top UK university at 14.
00:12:56After she left, we lost touch.
00:12:57She's been back a year, and she feels like a stranger.
00:12:59Then he went into the bathroom.
00:13:00He said it like it meant nothing.
00:13:02But he'd kept that photo all this time.
00:13:04The lights went out.
00:13:05He was lying only a couple feet away from me.
00:13:10Sienna, wake up.
00:13:12I opened my eyes and realized half my body was sprawled over him,
00:13:16with my arm around his neck.
00:13:18I'm sorry, I fell asleep.
00:13:20I didn't mean to...
00:13:21Someone like me didn't deserve to touch him.
00:13:24You don't need to apologize.
00:13:25Get ready.
00:13:26I'm taking you back to Washington.
00:13:27You don't have to.
00:13:28Just buy me a plane ticket.
00:13:30I'll go by myself.
00:13:31Why can't I take you?
00:13:33I quietly asked Zane,
00:13:35Aren't you staying with Gracie?
00:13:36He just said, no need.
00:13:38And just like that, we flew back to Washington on his private jet.
00:13:41Are you going back to the Moore Estate, or the assisted living facility?
00:13:44Grandma has Alzheimer's.
00:13:46She's forgotten everyone in the family except Zane.
00:13:49So, she wouldn't stay at the Moore Estate.
00:13:50She lived alone at an assisted living facility,
00:13:53and I stayed with her there for three years.
00:13:55After we got married, I couldn't get used to the Moore Estate,
00:13:58so I went back to the Sutton House.
00:13:59That's when my own brother sold me to a scam compound near the border.
00:14:03Take me back to the Sutton House.
00:14:04You're still going back there?
00:14:05When we passed a store, I had the driver pull over.
00:14:10I borrowed some money from Zane and bought a big duffel bag and a baseball bat.
00:14:13My brother sold me.
00:14:14I was going to settle that score myself.
00:14:16Zane glanced at it and didn't ask a thing.
00:14:18The car stopped outside a row of run-down warehouses on the edge of town.
00:14:22I grabbed my stuff and got out.
00:14:23The two thugs smoking outside recognized me and let me in.
00:14:26I didn't notice, but Zane knew the place was off.
00:14:28He had the driver call his men and came in after me.
00:14:30The two guys at the door tried to stop him.
00:14:33He dropped them fast.
00:14:38Inside was an underground casino thick with smoke.
00:14:41My brother Kyle was at a table in the corner.
00:14:43I walked up, pulled the bag over his head, and started swinging.
00:14:46Hit after hit, all to his arms and legs.
00:14:49If your own brother sold you to the border and you made it back alive, even stabbing him twice would
00:14:55be going easy on him.
00:14:56Sienna, don't kill your brother.
00:14:58He still owes me a lot of money.
00:14:59If he dies, are you paying me back?
00:15:01I didn't care.
00:15:02I kept hitting him until my arms gave out.
00:15:04Who the hell hit me?
00:15:06Sis?
00:15:07You're back?
00:15:08Don't call me sis.
00:15:09Thanks to you, I made it back alive.
00:15:11From now on, either you kill me or I kill you.
00:15:13You're crazy!
00:15:14You're out of your mind!
00:15:15He shoved through the crowd and limped off.
00:15:17I was about to go after him, then I turned and froze.
00:15:19Zane was standing right in front of me.
00:15:24Boss, it's him!
00:15:25He took out the guys at the door!
00:15:27Dozens of thugs closed in all at once.
00:15:29Zane was alone.
00:15:30He couldn't take on that many men.
00:15:31Sir, he's my friend.
00:15:33I'm sorry.
00:15:34We'll go.
00:15:34You think you're leaving?
00:15:36Pay the medical bills first.
00:15:37Do you have any cash on you?
00:15:39Give him $5,000.
00:15:40$5,000?
00:15:41It's $500,000!
00:15:43Why don't you just rob a bank?
00:15:45How about $50,000?
00:15:48Not a dime.
00:15:49Big talk.
00:15:50Get him!
00:15:51Stay back.
00:15:53The first few guys rushed him, and Zane dropped them with one kick.
00:15:59The rest charged.
00:16:01He pulled a gun on the casino box, then a commotion broke out outside.
00:16:06Dozens of men in suits rushed in and surrounded the casino.
00:16:12I'm sorry we let this happen, General.
00:16:14General, I didn't know who you were.
00:16:16Please, spare me just this once!
00:16:18Shut this place down.
00:16:19Hand them over to the police.
00:16:20I followed him, watching his back.
00:16:22I knew he loved someone else.
00:16:24But pathetically, I liked him even more.
00:16:27The car finally pulled up outside the Moore estate.
00:16:30I don't want to stay here.
00:16:33Can you take me back to the assisted living facility?
00:16:38This is your home.
00:16:39Zane?
00:16:40Why are you being so selfish?
00:16:42So cruel?
00:16:43You don't love me, but you still won't let me out of this marriage.
00:16:46I'm going in first.
00:16:47Stay by the door and listen.
00:16:48I wanted him to hear for himself how his family treats me.
00:16:52In the living room, Zane's mother, Diane, and his two sisters-in-law, Lisa and Roz, were chatting with the
00:16:58rest of the family.
00:16:59Good evening, Mrs. Moore.
00:17:00The whole room went silent.
00:17:01Who is that?
00:17:02That's Grandma's old care-aged.
00:17:04She conned Grandma into forcing Zane to marry her.
00:17:06I wouldn't even let trash like that work for me.
00:17:08Seeing her at my table makes me sick.
00:17:10I clenched my fists and held the tears back.
00:17:12When I first married into this family, I swallowed worse than this.
00:17:15Back then, I thought he loved me.
00:17:17Sorry to interrupt.
00:17:18I just came back to say I'm divorcing Zane.
00:17:20You won't have to put up with someone like me anymore.
00:17:23Divorce?
00:17:24We should open a bottle of champagne and celebrate!
00:17:26She stopped cold.
00:17:27Everyone looked past me.
00:17:29Zane had walked in.
00:17:33Zane?
00:17:34What brings you home?
00:17:35Who said Zane Moore's wife makes them sick?
00:17:37Whose house is she too filthy for?
00:17:39I never thought he'd turn on his own family for me.
00:17:42Zane, they're your sisters-in-law.
00:17:44How can you talk to them like that?
00:17:45Mom, have they shown her even basic respect?
00:17:48He didn't say another word.
00:17:50He just took my wrist and walked out.
00:17:53I'm sorry for what my family did.
00:17:55Please.
00:17:56I want a divorce.
00:17:58After Grandpa's 80th birthday, we'll get divorced.
00:18:03Zane took me to a house outside Washington.
00:18:05The living room had a whole wall of books.
00:18:07I loved it instantly.
00:18:09Gracie and I stay upstairs.
00:18:10Pick any guest room downstairs.
00:18:13So they'd been living here all along.
00:18:15He brought me, his wife, into the home he shared with Gracie.
00:18:18I can't stay here.
00:18:20Your Gracie won't like it.
00:18:21It's fine.
00:18:22She's just being childish.
00:18:23I'll handle it.
00:18:25But I didn't have a dollar to my name.
00:18:27I couldn't go back to the Suttons, and I couldn't stay with the Moors either.
00:18:31One more month.
00:18:32Once Grandma's birthday is over, I'll be free.
00:18:36Early the next morning, Zane was in the living room meeting with several people.
00:18:41Mr. President, this is my wife, Sienna.
00:18:44I didn't expect him to introduce me so openly in front of the President.
00:18:48I used to wonder why my daughter never caught the General's eye.
00:18:52Now that I've met your wife, I understand.
00:18:54You're too kind, Mr. President.
00:18:56I'm just an ordinary person.
00:18:57I can't compare to your daughter.
00:18:59An open file lay on the coffee table.
00:19:01The cover said,
00:19:02Mist Project.
00:19:02I'll make some tea for everyone.
00:19:05Sound carried from the living room into the kitchen.
00:19:12The Mist Project has been running for three years, and we still don't have a single lead.
00:19:16That person has a light particle compound, the most advanced weapons material there is.
00:19:21General, only you can help us now.
00:19:24Mr. President, I've been looking for that person for three years myself.
00:19:27Light particle compound.
00:19:29It's terrifying.
00:19:31I don't know why I know that.
00:19:34I brought out the tea and poured everyone a cup.
00:19:40A friend gave me this tea, and I passed it on to Zane.
00:19:43I always thought it tasted too harsh.
00:19:45Turns out we just didn't know how to brew it.
00:19:48I handed the last cup to Zane.
00:19:50He took a sip and looked at me for a long moment.
00:19:55After the guests left, I dozed off at the garden table.
00:19:59When I woke up, there was a big patio umbrella over me and a citronella candle burning by my feet.
00:20:06A man in a suit walked over and handed me an envelope.
00:20:09Ma'am, General Moore asked me to give this to you.
00:20:13Inside was a card and a note.
00:20:15The gate code is 15167.
00:20:17Spend whatever you want.
00:20:18I'm heading to the UK for work.
00:20:20Not sure when I'll be back.
00:20:22Who put out the umbrella and candle?
00:20:24General Moore told us to.
00:20:26I clutched the note.
00:20:27How could anyone not fall for a man like Zane?
00:20:30But he loved Gracie.
00:20:33A week later, the front door flew open.
00:20:36Who said you could live here?
00:20:38Zane told me to.
00:20:40Sienna, for grandma's sake, I've put up with you long enough.
00:20:43I've put up with you long enough.
00:20:45Zane had this house done to my taste.
00:20:47It was supposed to be our home after we got married.
00:20:50And that whole wall of books, he had them picked out for me.
00:20:54I've known him for over 20 years.
00:20:56Was stealing him not enough?
00:20:59You had to move into my house and touch my things too?
00:21:02But before I married Zane, I didn't even know Gracie existed.
00:21:06Sorry, I'll pack my things and go.
00:21:08I came out with my duffel bag and she grabbed my arm.
00:21:12You think you can just leave?
00:21:14Not so fast.
00:21:16Zane will be here any minute.
00:21:18This was where Zane hosted the president.
00:21:20For security, there were no cameras inside the house.
00:21:22Just one at the front door.
00:21:24Before I could figure out what she was doing,
00:21:26she ran to the bookshelf,
00:21:27swept rows of books onto the floor,
00:21:29then slapped herself hard several times.
00:21:32A chill went down my spine.
00:21:34She was trying to pin it on me.
00:21:36You're hitting yourself to frame me?
00:21:38Aren't you afraid Zane will find out?
00:21:41Everyone knows I'm the childhood sweetheart
00:21:43he's loved for over 10 years.
00:21:44To him, I'm innocent, kind, perfect.
00:21:48He loves me that much.
00:21:49Do you really think he'd ever suspect me?
00:21:51I didn't want to hear another word.
00:21:54I grabbed my bag and left.
00:21:57Gracie chased me to the door and grabbed me.
00:21:59A military-ass UB was pulling into the driveway.
00:22:02I'm sorry, Sienna.
00:22:03I'm not the other woman.
00:22:05I'm really not.
00:22:06Let go.
00:22:11Zane, I'm not the other woman.
00:22:12Why is Sienna hitting me?
00:22:14Zane stormed over, grabbed my arm and threw me aside.
00:22:17I went down the two front steps.
00:22:19My palms and knees scraped the concrete, burning.
00:22:22He saw the blood on my palm and froze for a second.
00:22:25Sienna, I warned you.
00:22:26You still went after Gracie?
00:22:28He didn't even ask.
00:22:30He just believed her.
00:22:33Zane Moore, you've been apart from her for years.
00:22:35Do you really know her anymore?
00:22:36She's framed me again and again.
00:22:38That sweet, innocent girl you see?
00:22:40It's all an act.
00:22:42I picked up my bag and limped away.
00:22:45What I didn't know was, after I left, Zane followed Gracie inside.
00:22:49Crying, she shoved the books back onto the shelf any which way.
00:22:53Zane froze.
00:22:54The Gracie he knew as a kid had to keep books sorted.
00:22:57One out of place used to bother her.
00:23:00Late that night, Zane called one of the group's engineers from his study.
00:23:07The front door camera caught audio from the living room, but it's too faint.
00:23:11Can you clean it up?
00:23:12Don't miss a single word.
00:23:14General, give me 10 minutes.
00:23:16When the audio came in, he hesitated for a long time before he hit play.
00:23:21So he loves me that much.
00:23:23Do you really think he'd ever suspect me?
00:23:25Zane didn't sleep that night.
00:23:28I went to grandma's and stayed the night.
00:23:29The next morning, I picked a bunch of wild daisies from the hill behind the assisted living facility.
00:23:33Peach, your husband's here, he's inside.
00:23:35Grandma always called me Peach.
00:23:36Why was Zane here?
00:23:37To stand up for Gracie or to divorce me?
00:23:39He came to take you home.
00:23:40Grandma had no idea how bad things were between us.
00:23:43Zane came out and looked at my hand.
00:23:44My heart still jumped when I saw him, but I was mad at him too.
00:23:47Your hand, you okay?
00:23:48I'm fine.
00:23:49How is that fine?
00:23:50Look at her palm, it's scraped raw.
00:23:51She said she tripped on the way here.
00:23:53Last night I put medicine on it and she cried in my arms for two hours.
00:23:56Her eyes were swollen.
00:23:57Grandma, I didn't.
00:23:57Zane pulled a small tube of ointment from his pocket and held it out to me.
00:24:00That's good for cuts.
00:24:01He believed Gracie without even asking me.
00:24:02Now he thought a tube of ointment would fix it.
00:24:04I didn't want it.
00:24:05Thanks.
00:24:06I don't need it.
00:24:07He said nothing and set the ointment on the table.
00:24:09Your husband just got here.
00:24:10Aren't you going to sit with him?
00:24:11He doesn't need me.
00:24:16At dinner, Zane's phone rang.
00:24:17It was a video call from Gracie.
00:24:19He declined it.
00:24:20She called again and he declined it again.
00:24:22He slid his plate over to me, the steak already cut up.
00:24:24Before, that would have made me happy all night.
00:24:26Now, I didn't touch it.
00:24:27He looked at me like he wanted to say something, but he didn't.
00:24:31The third time it rang, Grandma grabbed the phone and answered it.
00:24:33Zane, Sienna's gone too far.
00:24:34She went through my room and a necklace worth tens of thousands of color is missing.
00:24:37I don't know if she stole it.
00:24:38I gripped my fork tighter.
00:24:38I couldn't eat another bite.
00:24:39Who are you?
00:24:40What right do you have to say my peach stole from you?
00:24:42She'd never steal.
00:24:43Zane, you're at Grandma's?
00:24:43Sienna?
00:24:44She's there too?
00:24:45She didn't steal anything.
00:24:46I'm hanging up.
00:24:47Zane, do you have someone on the side?
00:24:50Grandma, no.
00:24:52Peach, you tell me.
00:24:52Does he have someone else?
00:24:54Grandma has high blood pressure.
00:24:55She can't take that kind of shock.
00:24:57No, he doesn't.
00:24:58She was just throwing a childish fit and talking nonsense.
00:25:01Childish was his word for Gracie.
00:25:03I just used it to smooth things over.
00:25:05Zane just stared at me for a long time.
00:25:09After dinner, we sat with Grandpa on the back porch talking.
00:25:13Then a staff member came over.
00:25:15Mrs. Moore, there's a Miss Whitfield at the door.
00:25:18She says she's the one General Moore has loved since childhood and she wants to see you both.
00:25:22I started to get up, but Grandpa grabbed my hand and held me there.
00:25:26Let Miss Whitfield in.
00:25:27Neither of you are going anywhere.
00:25:30Gracie walked in wearing a white dress.
00:25:32She greeted Grandpa and Zane, but didn't even look at me.
00:25:36Miss Wiltmore, my grandson's wife is sitting right here.
00:25:40And you sent words saying you're the one Zane's loved all his life.
00:25:43Have you no shame?
00:25:45Grandma, don't you remember?
00:25:46I'm Gracie.
00:25:47I lived next door when I was little.
00:25:49Sienna just had some work done to look a little like I used to.
00:25:51Zane, she's lying, isn't she?
00:25:54Grandma, she is Gracie.
00:25:56Peach, tell me they're lying.
00:25:58Grandma, I always thought you called me Peach because I have a round face.
00:26:01I didn't know you were mistaking me for her.
00:26:03I didn't get it wrong.
00:26:05You are Peach.
00:26:06Zane gave you that name because you loved Peaches as a child.
00:26:09He's loved you since you were little.
00:26:11After you went abroad, he was lost for years.
00:26:13I finally got you two married.
00:26:17So that's what Grandpa meant.
00:26:19The one Zane loved was the little Gracie from back then.
00:26:24I took someone else's place.
00:26:26And for three years, I let Grandpa love the wrong girl.
00:26:31Grandma, you've got it wrong.
00:26:32Look.
00:26:33These are pictures of me with my parents every year from 14 to 22.
00:26:37They died when I was 22.
00:26:39I lived with my uncle for two years and only came back last year.
00:26:43I won't look.
00:26:48Zane dropped to one knee in front of Grandpa and took her trembling hand.
00:26:52Grandma, don't get upset.
00:26:54If you think Sienna's Peach, then she is.
00:26:57Zane, I'm Peach.
00:26:59How long are you going to keep humoring Grandma and letting her lie to herself?
00:27:03Grandma, Zane's always loved me.
00:27:05He and Sienna will split up sooner or later.
00:27:08You've made him miserable.
00:27:09Why are you being so stubborn?
00:27:14You get out.
00:27:15Grandma, don't get upset.
00:27:16Your blood pressure's high.
00:27:18Get her out of here.
00:27:19Zane dragged Gracie out.
00:27:21She fought him the whole way, screaming.
00:27:23I'm not leaving.
00:27:24She should.
00:27:25She sold herself.
00:27:26Got plastic surgery.
00:27:27Even married some old man.
00:27:28She fooled Grandma by making herself look like me as a kid.
00:27:32I don't remember any of it, but every word felt like it was ripping open a whole wound.
00:27:38Then Grandma went limp and collapsed into my arms.
00:27:43Zane, come back!
00:27:44Grandma passed out!
00:27:50Grandma still hadn't woken up.
00:27:52I sat by her bed, holding her hand.
00:27:55Three years ago, I woke up in a hospital, too.
00:27:57My mind was blank.
00:27:59Strangers stood by my bed, calling themselves my family.
00:28:01They didn't care if I lived.
00:28:03They just wanted money.
00:28:04Then I met Grandma.
00:28:06For the past three years, she'd been the only family I had.
00:28:11What I didn't know was, at three that morning, Zane dragged Gracie out of bed and drove her back to
00:28:16the Whitmore Estate.
00:28:20Gracie, listen carefully.
00:28:22Not then, not now.
00:28:23I've never told you I love you.
00:28:25Don't flatter yourself.
00:28:27Sienna's my wife.
00:28:28That house is her home, not yours.
00:28:30Did you really think the camera at the door couldn't pick up what you said inside?
00:28:34Zane, I know I was wrong!
00:28:37You knew it was wrong.
00:28:38And you still framed her for stealing the necklace?
00:28:41You still put Grandpa in the hospital?
00:28:43Stay out of my marriage.
00:28:44And don't see Grandpa alone again.
00:28:48He left her at the Whitmore Estate and rushed back to the hospital that same night.
00:28:54I thought you went home. Why are you back?
00:28:56I went back to deal with something.
00:28:58I'll stay here. Go get some sleep.
00:29:00I'm not tired.
00:29:02He pulled me up, sat me in the reclier, then tucked a blanket over me.
00:29:07Close your eyes.
00:29:10I couldn't let myself think about what it would feel like to divorce him once Grandma's birthday was over.
00:29:16I didn't wake up till noon the next day.
00:29:19Grandma was already awake, and Zane was sitting by her bed talking to her.
00:29:24Zane said you didn't fall asleep till 4, so he wouldn't let me wake you.
00:29:29Once I'm better, I'll deal with that other woman for you.
00:29:33Grandma, there's no other woman.
00:29:35I don't believe a man and a woman can ever be just friends.
00:29:39That shut him up.
00:29:41I looked down and fought a smile.
00:29:43Then I glanced up and caught him looking at me, softer than I'd ever seen him.
00:29:50That afternoon, I went down to the garden for some air.
00:29:53Zane sat down beside me.
00:29:56The mist project was leaked.
00:29:58The day the president talked about it in the living room, you were in the kitchen.
00:30:01And everything from before you lost your memory, I can't trace any of it.
00:30:08The amnesia is real.
00:30:10If I could choose, I'd never remember any of that filth.
00:30:12If you have proof, arrest me.
00:30:20I'll get to the bottom of it.
00:30:22Your file came too easy.
00:30:23Like someone wanted it in my hands.
00:30:29Thank you for not arresting me.
00:30:31I sent Gracie back to the Whitmore Estate.
00:30:34Are you going back there?
00:30:36I'm not.
00:30:37Then where are you staying?
00:30:38I'll figure it out.
00:30:39If you need anything, call me.
00:30:41About the divorce?
00:30:43I respect your decision.
00:30:44It was the answer I wanted.
00:30:46But it still felt like a pin-proke in my heart.
00:30:57I didn't go back to that house.
00:30:58I didn't stay with Grandma either.
00:31:01I borrowed a few thousand dollars using the card Zane gave me,
00:31:04rented a small apartment, and sold flowers on a street corner every evening.
00:31:08I paid it all back in less than two weeks.
00:31:11I also got Grandma an 80th birthday gift, a photo album.
00:31:14It had pictures from the last three years, and under each one, I wrote what happened that day.
00:31:20Grandma forgets things.
00:31:22I wanted her to be able to look through it.
00:31:24The morning of the party, Colt knocked on my door holding a huge gift box.
00:31:29Ma'am, the General had this evening greys and jewelry prepared for you.
00:31:31I'll pick you up at five.
00:31:35Inside was a long white dress and a set of diamond jewelry.
00:31:39I'd never worn a dress that beautiful, and it was from Zane.
00:31:43I didn't want to embarrass Grandma or him tonight.
00:31:47The doorbell rang again.
00:31:48Grace Lee was at the door.
00:31:51Zane had me pick out the dress and jewelry.
00:31:54Wow. This place is tiny.
00:31:57My heart sank.
00:31:58Then I caught myself.
00:32:00She never tells the truth.
00:32:02If you know what's good for you, don't come tonight.
00:32:04Don't let people see someone like you as Zane's wife.
00:32:07You'll embarrass him.
00:32:08She saw the photo album, pulled a bottle of red wine from her bag, and poured most of it over
00:32:13the album.
00:32:13The rest went on the white dress.
00:32:19Three years of photos bled into red.
00:32:22I slapped her.
00:32:23Hard.
00:32:23Twice.
00:32:24How dare you hit me?
00:32:26You ruined my photo album.
00:32:28You think I wouldn't hit you?
00:32:30I yanked the soaked dress over her head, dragged her to the door by her hair, threw her out, and
00:32:35locked it.
00:32:38You bitch!
00:32:39After all the years I've spent out there, nobody's ever dared pull my hair.
00:32:43Just wait.
00:32:45The cursing outside got worse by the second.
00:32:48She sounded nothing like that soft, delicate act she always put on.
00:32:53I stared at the album, soaked red.
00:32:56Should I really not go?
00:32:57Would standing next to him just make him look bad?
00:33:01The white dress was ruined.
00:33:03That evening, I put on my old light blue dress and got into Colt's car.
00:33:08The jewelry looked wrong with the old dress, so I didn't wear it.
00:33:14The Moore estate was blurning with lights, full of important people.
00:33:17No one came over, so I sat in the corner and waited for Grandma.
00:33:21I just wanted to wish Grandma happy birthday in person, then leave.
00:33:26You actually came.
00:33:27What thrift store did you find that dress in?
00:33:30Some people can dress up all they want.
00:33:32It still won't hide how filthy they are inside.
00:33:35Lisa and Roz came over behind Gracie.
00:33:37Why is Zane's wife dressed so cheap?
00:33:40Your background is embarrassing enough.
00:33:42Dressed like that, too?
00:33:44Are you here to make people laugh?
00:33:46Leave now while you still can.
00:33:48Otherwise, I'll humiliate you tonight.
00:33:54I didn't want a scene at Grandma's birthday party, so I got up and headed for the door.
00:33:59I had just reached the door when I ran into Zane.
00:34:03He looked at my old dress, and I caught a flicker of disappointment in his eyes.
00:34:07But he didn't ask.
00:34:11Have you seen Grandma yet?
00:34:13I shook my head.
00:34:15I couldn't trust myself to speak.
00:34:17The second I did, all the hurt would spill out.
00:34:20You haven't even seen Grandma, and you're leaving?
00:34:23Stay till the party's over.
00:34:25He took my wrist and led me to the guests.
00:34:27With him there, I wasn't as scared.
00:34:29Whenever anyone asked who I was, he'd say,
00:34:31My wife, Sienna.
00:34:33Just one simple sentence.
00:34:35But if we were divorcing after this party, why was he still introducing me like that?
00:34:40Grandma came out.
00:34:41Everyone stepped forward with their gifts.
00:34:43My photo album was ruined, and my hands were empty.
00:34:46When it was Zane's turn, he handed her a box.
00:34:49Grandma, this is from Sienna and me.
00:34:52He included me.
00:34:54We all brought our own gifts, so why does Zane's wife get a pass?
00:34:59I've been busy.
00:35:00I didn't have time, so I'm using my wife's gift.
00:35:03Got a problem with that, Lisa?
00:35:06No.
00:35:06In that moment, with him beside me, I felt protected.
00:35:11Gracie had a long table brought in and laid a painting across it.
00:35:15Grandma, I know you love collecting paintings.
00:35:17This is an original watercolor by Willow, the most famous painter right now.
00:35:21Autumn Harbor in Maine.
00:35:23Willow only paints on livestreams.
00:35:25Then she auctions the piece off and gives all the money to charity.
00:35:27No one's ever seen her face.
00:35:30I love painting, too.
00:35:32I walked around it and looked it over.
00:35:37Peach, do you like it?
00:35:40I couldn't say exactly what was off, but one look at it and it just didn't feel real.
00:35:45It's beautiful, but Grandma, I think it's a fake.
00:35:48What?
00:35:49A fake?
00:35:53What would you know?
00:35:55What makes you think it's fake?
00:35:56Zane, tell them.
00:35:58Zane pulled her hand off his arm.
00:36:00An older collector put on his reading glasses and studied the painting for a long time.
00:36:04It's fake.
00:36:05It's fake.
00:36:06The sail is billowing east, but the fisherman's raincoat is blowing west.
00:36:11You can't have the wind blowing two ways in one painting.
00:36:14Willow would never make that mistake.
00:36:15Whispers spread through the room.
00:36:17Gracie's face went red, then white.
00:36:19See?
00:36:20I told you.
00:36:21My granddaughter-in-law has a great eye and she paints, too, beautifully.
00:36:24Grandma, I'm not that good.
00:36:26If you're such a great painter, then paint something right now.
00:36:29Let that be Grandma's birthday gift.
00:36:31The whole room jumped in.
00:36:34Grandma agreed right away and told the butler to bring paper and paints.
00:36:37I turned to Zane and shook my head hard.
00:36:40You really don't want to?
00:36:42I don't.
00:36:43Never mind the paints.
00:36:45Don't start.
00:36:46Grandma pulled me to the table.
00:36:48Zane followed and whispered in my ear.
00:36:50It's just family.
00:36:52Nobody cares how good it is.
00:36:53As long as Grandma's happy.
00:36:55Can you copy a painting?
00:36:57I think so.
00:36:58Then copy this one.
00:36:59It's fake anyway.
00:37:00He was so close.
00:37:02My panic faded instantly.
00:37:04I picked up the brush and, without thinking, smoothed the paper three times.
00:37:08Once I made the first stroke, I couldn't stop.
00:37:11It was like my hand remembered how.
00:37:13I finished the last stroke and looked up.
00:37:15Everyone was staring at me.
00:37:17My heart started racing.
00:37:18Was it that bad?
00:37:20Did I embarrass him?
00:37:22She's Willow.
00:37:24Look at the video.
00:37:26Willow smooths the paper three times before she paints
00:37:28and she has the same mole on the back of her right hand.
00:37:33Willow disappeared three years ago.
00:37:35Everyone said she was dead.
00:37:36Sir.
00:37:38This is one of Willow's old live streams.
00:37:40The way she smooths the paper, the mole on the back of her hand,
00:37:42it's exactly the same as your wife's.
00:37:45Trace that account.
00:37:46Find out who registered it and where the money went.
00:37:48I want everything.
00:37:50Someone shoved a phone into my hand.
00:37:52That hand in the video?
00:37:54I see it every day.
00:37:56It was my hand.
00:37:57But I don't remember painting any of this.
00:38:00If I'm really Willow, then who was the Sienna who'd sold herself,
00:38:03had plastic surgery, and married an old man?
00:38:07After the birthday party,
00:38:08I went right back to selling flowers every evening.
00:38:11I looked up.
00:38:12A tall man was standing at my stall.
00:38:14It was Zane, with Colt behind him.
00:38:17Which flowers look best?
00:38:19For a girl or an older person?
00:38:21A girl.
00:38:22My heart sank.
00:38:23Out of all the flower shops, he came to me to buy flowers for Gracie.
00:38:28I grabbed a bunch of white daisies.
00:38:30These are nice. 20 docks.
00:38:31He paid, but he didn't leave.
00:38:34We need to talk.
00:38:35The party was over.
00:38:36He was probably here about the divorce.
00:38:40I'm still working.
00:38:41If these don't sell today, they'll foul by tomorrow.
00:38:43Then I'll take the rest.
00:38:46Flowers are for people who really want them.
00:38:48What are you gonna do with that many?
00:38:50Stay. Help her sell the rest.
00:38:53I didn't want to go back to the house Zane and Gracie had lived in,
00:38:56so I took him to my little apartment instead.
00:39:01As soon as we got inside and I turned around,
00:39:03he held out the daisies.
00:39:05They're for you.
00:39:07So they weren't for Gracie.
00:39:09I've always loved daisies.
00:39:11No one had ever given me any before.
00:39:13I went to get him some water.
00:39:14On the way back, I banged my knee on the coffee table
00:39:17and dumped the whole glass in his lap.
00:39:22I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to...
00:39:26That's enough.
00:39:28Is this how those scheming women and TV goddess seduce men?
00:39:31Is he going to think I did it on purpose?
00:39:35I already have the divorce papers ready.
00:39:37I can sign anytime.
00:39:39I'm not here to talk about divorce.
00:39:40That can wait.
00:39:42First, we figure out who you are.
00:39:44What do you mean?
00:39:45Your identity.
00:39:46I checked the Willow art account.
00:39:48The registrator can't be traced.
00:39:50Every dollar went to a children's charity in the UK.
00:39:52No one's ever seen Willow.
00:39:53And the account went silent three years ago.
00:40:01I don't remember either.
00:40:03But I really am Sadiana Sutton.
00:40:05Three years ago, I woke up in the hospital with no memory.
00:40:08The Sutton family identified me.
00:40:10We did a DNA test with the police there,
00:40:12and it said I was their daughter.
00:40:17You're this good at painting.
00:40:18You could have made plenty from that.
00:40:20So why would you sell yourself and marry some old man for money?
00:40:24I could have taken that from anyone else.
00:40:26From Zane, it hurt ten times worse.
00:40:32What if I'm not Willow?
00:40:33What if I'm just an amateur who likes copying paintings?
00:40:36Then you've got a lot of hobbies.
00:40:38You can paint well enough to fool anyone,
00:40:39and you know chemistry cold.
00:40:42So you still suspect I leaked it?
00:40:44He didn't deny it.
00:40:46Then arrest me.
00:40:49Why do you always say things like that when you're mad?
00:40:52He'd never spoken to me that gently before.
00:40:54It caught me off guard.
00:40:56Then lightning flashed outside,
00:40:58and thunder crashed right after it.
00:40:59I screamed, dropped to the floor,
00:41:01covered my ears, and started shaking all over.
00:41:03Zane crouched in front of me,
00:41:04and covered my hands over my ears with his.
00:41:06When the second thunderclap hit,
00:41:08the lights went out.
00:41:09I threw myself into his arms and clung to his waist.
00:41:12He didn't push me away.
00:41:14He just covered my ears tighter.
00:41:16I started crying.
00:41:18I couldn't stop.
00:41:20You're scared of thunder?
00:41:21I don't even know why.
00:41:23Every time it thunders,
00:41:24I get so scared I can barely breathe.
00:41:26He found my headphones by the bed and put them on me.
00:41:29I turned the music all the way up.
00:41:33He turned on his phone flashlight and headed for the door.
00:41:36I ran over and grabbed his shirt.
00:41:38Zane Moore, don't go!
00:41:42I'm not leaving.
00:41:43I'm just going downstairs to see what's going on.
00:41:46He ruffled my hair.
00:41:47Don't be scared.
00:41:48I'll be right back.
00:41:49I touched the hair he'd just ruffled,
00:41:51and my heart still wouldn't slow down.
00:41:53I realized I was falling for him more and more.
00:41:56I didn't want a divorce anymore.
00:41:58The whole building had lost power.
00:42:00When he came back, I took off my headphones.
00:42:04There was something I'd been holding in for a long time.
00:42:09That day at the compound,
00:42:11when you shot the man holding me,
00:42:13did it ever cross your mind you might hit me?
00:42:16People don't call me a sharpshooter for nothing.
00:42:18He was a head taller than you,
00:42:20and that close, he was a sitting duck.
00:42:22There was no way I was hitting you.
00:42:24So it wasn't that he didn't care whether I lived or die.
00:42:28You knew Gracie set me up?
00:42:30Yeah.
00:42:31He knew.
00:42:32Then why didn't he tell me?
00:42:34I hurt you that day.
00:42:36I'm sorry.
00:42:40Get some sleep.
00:42:41I'll stay right here till the storm passes.
00:42:44I knew a man like him wouldn't get tired that easily,
00:42:47but I still felt bad for him.
00:42:51Are you really gonna sit there all night?
00:42:53The bed's big enough for both of us.
00:42:55I promise I won't end up on top of you like last time.
00:43:00He didn't say a word.
00:43:02He just took off his shoes and got into bed.
00:43:09Zane Moore, a lot of women must like you, right?
00:43:12No idea.
00:43:13No one's ever told me.
00:43:14What about you?
00:43:15Is there someone you like?
00:43:16Yeah.
00:43:17Does he like you back?
00:43:18No.
00:43:19He's in love with someone else.
00:43:21We were never going to happen.
00:43:22So that's why you wanted to marry me?
00:43:25What kind of logic is that?
00:43:26He didn't know I was talking about him.
00:43:29Then why did you believe Grandpa when she said I liked you?
00:43:32Because I liked him too much.
00:43:34So much I'd believe anything Grandpa said.
00:43:37I'm sorry.
00:43:38I tore you two apart.
00:43:40It's not too late.
00:43:41We can get divorced tomorrow.
00:43:44I'm not going to deny it.
00:43:45I really did love Gracie.
00:43:47When she left, she was 14 and I was 18.
00:43:51Back then I was crazy about her.
00:43:53I bit my lip and tears fell onto the pillow without a sound.
00:43:58But when she came back, she was like a different person.
00:44:01I don't know if I still love her.
00:44:03I don't owe her anything.
00:44:05But I do owe you.
00:44:06I married you for Grandma even though I didn't love you.
00:44:09That wasn't fair to you.
00:44:13Sienna, marriage isn't a game.
00:44:15Let's give it a real shot.
00:44:18You don't mind my past?
00:44:20Who doesn't have a past they'd rather forget?
00:44:22I think you're just fine the way you are.
00:44:24What about Grady?
00:44:26She and I were never officially together.
00:44:28I'll take care of it.
00:44:30He wanted to try because he felt like he owed me.
00:44:32Not because he liked me.
00:44:35But I still wanted to try.
00:44:37Even if I never got his heart, at least I would have tried.
00:44:42When I woke up the next morning, Zayn was already gone.
00:44:46He'd texted me.
00:44:47You didn't say no, so I'm taking that as a yes.
00:44:50I'm busy.
00:44:51I can't be with you every day, but I'll make time to come home and see you.
00:44:54I hugged my phone and rolled around on the bed.
00:44:57He hadn't said a single sweet word, but somehow I was ridiculously happy.
00:45:02At noon, Colt brought over a stack of small bills.
00:45:05The flowers were all sold out.
00:45:07I couldn't help smiling.
00:45:09Mrs. Moores, the general sent me to bring you home.
00:45:12If you don't want to go back there, I'll find you a bigger place.
00:45:15Home. Just not that house.
00:45:17I'm going back to the Moore estate.
00:45:20If Zayn was willing to take a step toward me, I wanted to take one too.
00:45:24I wanted his family to accept me.
00:45:27The Moore family estate was huge.
00:45:29Zayn's married brothers lived there too.
00:45:31I thought the Moores would still be cold to me.
00:45:34Instead, Lisa came right over smiling.
00:45:36Ever since people started saying I was Willow at the birthday party, she'd been absurdly warm.
00:45:41But the morning after I moved in, Roz and her husband started moving out.
00:45:45What's this about? Why are you moving out?
00:45:50My father's a college professor.
00:45:52My mother's a musician.
00:45:53I was raised right.
00:45:55Living under the same proof as someone like her makes my skin crawl.
00:46:00Roz clicked away in her heels.
00:46:03A week later, Lisa insisted on taking me to a party on a cruise ship.
00:46:07You're Zayn's wife. You should get out more.
00:46:10Some of his friends are going.
00:46:12I wanted to get to know the people around him better, so I said yes.
00:46:16At the party, a man in a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked toward me.
00:46:21I didn't know why, but a chill ran down my spine.
00:46:25Harrison, did you come with Gracie?
00:46:27Sienna, we meet again. I'm Harrison, your ex-boyfriend.
00:46:31Gracie's uncle is Sienna's ex too? Wow, that's messy.
00:46:34I'm married, and I have amnesia. I don't remember you.
00:46:37I don't buy that excuse.
00:46:38Just then, a gunshot rang out. Men in animal masks blocked the door with rifles.
00:46:42Harrison pushed my down into a crouch.
00:46:44Everybody down! Hands on your valuables!
00:46:46One woman tried to run. They shot her dead on the spot.
00:46:48Anybody moves again, I'll kill one person every minute!
00:46:51No one else understood him. Some were still inching toward the door. I did.
00:46:54What did he say? You've spoken several languages since you were little. You understand him.
00:46:58As a kid? You've known me since I was a kid?
00:47:01I mean, you used to know it.
00:47:03He covered that way too fast. When the minute was up, he fired again.
00:47:06By the third person, my legs were shaking. But if I stayed quiet, more people would die.
00:47:10I stood up. Stop! They can't understand a word you're saying!
00:47:13Then you translate.
00:47:14I was about to speak when I saw people in black tactical care, knives in hand, slipping up behind the
00:47:19masked men.
00:47:20They struck all at once. The masked men dropped one by one. Only the leader was left, with two guns
00:47:25to his head.
00:47:26A team in black rushed in.
00:47:27Zane was him again. Every time I was in danger, he showed up.
00:47:31Zane! You came to save me!
00:47:33Stay back!
00:47:36Gracie didn't listen. She ran to him, and the leader grabbed her and put a knife to her throat.
00:47:40Zane! Save me! Shoot!
00:47:42Let me go!
00:47:43Who understands what he's saying?
00:47:45Everyone looked at me. When Zane saw me, he froze for a second.
00:47:48I could have stayed quiet, but I couldn't just watch people die.
00:47:51He says if you let him go, he'll release Gracie.
00:47:54Tell him if he lets her go, I'll let him walk.
00:47:57The man was a head taller than Gracie, just as close to her as Tiger had been to me.
00:48:00Zane had called Tiger an easy shot, so why wouldn't he fire this time?
00:48:04Was he that afraid of hitting her?
00:48:06From this close, you're not taking the shot?
00:48:08He didn't look at me. He didn't answer.
00:48:11Mr. Witward, I got into a fight with Gracie at Zane's grandmother's birthday.
00:48:15Once I finished translating, the ringleader shoved Gracie aside, jumped into his speedboat, and took off.
00:48:19I went back to my cabin.
00:48:22Harrison ran after me and grabbed my arm.
00:48:24Harrison, I don't remember you at all. Keep your distance.
00:48:29That night, I came back with a plate of fruit and found Zane knocking at my door.
00:48:34He took the tray from me and went inside.
00:48:39Why aren't you saying anything?
00:48:41Didn't you say you were a crack shot?
00:48:43I couldn't kill them all. I needed one alive to lead us back to their base.
00:48:47His speedboat is tagged. He won't get far.
00:48:53You were worried you'd hit Gracie, weren't you?
00:48:55What does she have to do with it?
00:48:57So it wasn't about Gracie.
00:48:58I looked down, but I couldn't stop smiling.
00:49:02How did you end up on this ship?
00:49:04We were here on a mission.
00:49:05I didn't expect pirates, and I definitely didn't expect to find you here.
00:49:10Devaney is a small country that's always at war. How do you speak the language?
00:49:14I had no idea. Maybe from foreign clients I used to entertain? How was I supposed to say that out
00:49:20loud?
00:49:22I quickly changed the subject and held out a piece of watermelon.
00:49:25Do you want some? Then I realized I'd already used that fork.
00:49:29I started to pull back, but he caught my wrist and ate it anyway.
00:49:34Sweet. Just not enough.
00:49:36He ate from my fork like it was nothing. My face went hot.
00:49:39When I looked up, his eyes were burning into me.
00:49:43Mind if I stay here tonight?
00:49:45No rooms left on this ship?
00:49:46There are. I want to sleep with you.
00:49:49I didn't think much of it. We'd shared a bed before, and Zane had never touched me.
00:49:54Okay. Go ahead and sleep.
00:49:58He went to take a shower. When he came out, all he had on was a towel around his waist.
00:50:04Why aren't you wearing any clothes?
00:50:05If I get dressed now, I'll just have to take it off again. Too much trouble.
00:50:11Why would you take your clothes off to sleep? There are clean pajamas in the closet. Put those on.
00:50:16He froze for a second, then quietly changed into pajamas.
00:50:22Do you remember Harrison?
00:50:23I saw him today. I don't know him. My heart tightened.
00:50:27Did he find out Harrison was supposedly my ex? Was that why he was upset?
00:50:33By the next evening, the cruise ship had donked.
00:50:36The second Gracie saw Zane, she ran over and clung to his arm.
00:50:42Gracie, if you can't bear to be apart from Zane, go stay at the base with him for a few
00:50:46days.
00:50:46Sure. I want to see his weapons base.
00:50:49Stop talking like that and quit hanging all over me.
00:50:52Sienna, it's getting late. Let's head back in Harrison's car.
00:50:55I couldn't stand watching anymore, so I nodded.
00:50:59Harrison smiled and opened the car door for me.
00:51:01Sienna.
00:51:03He shoved Gracie aside, walked over, and took my hand in front of everyone.
00:51:07Didn't you say last night you wanted to watch our drills?
00:51:10I never said that.
00:51:12I only found out later that Harrison had found Zane in the hallway that day.
00:51:16He told him I was his ex and that I'd been faking my amnesia.
00:51:20Zane just said, Harrison, wish us well.
00:51:24You're busy. Taking her with you isn't a good idea.
00:51:28Busy or not, I'm going with her.
00:51:30If I can't even do this for my wife, what kind of husband am I?
00:51:33You're her uncle. You can take Gracie home.
00:51:39He took my hand and led me to his car.
00:51:48Harrison's a stranger to me now.
00:51:50You don't have to worry about him.
00:51:52Did you really need to lie just to get me away from him?
00:51:58You feel sorry for him?
00:52:01I didn't feel sorry for Harrison.
00:52:03I just didn't want Zane forcing himself to be good to me to save face.
00:52:09Where do you want to get out?
00:52:11So in the end, he still wanted me gone.
00:52:15Anywhere.
00:52:16Ma'am, we're already on the highway. I can't stop now.
00:52:19Just stay at headquarters a few days.
00:52:21This time, I'll teach you self-defense for real.
00:52:23I won't mess with you again.
00:52:25I promise.
00:52:26You have my word.
00:52:29So you admit you did it on purpose last time?
00:52:31Eyes on the road.
00:52:33The car went quiet.
00:52:35After a long while, he leaned in and whispered in my ear.
00:52:41If you want to learn self-defense, I'll teach you.
00:52:44No, thanks.
00:52:48I could learn from Colt.
00:52:50But Zane?
00:52:51The second he touched me, my mind went blank.
00:52:56The second day at headquarters, I came down with a high fever.
00:53:00I was probably still shaken from the ship and exhausted.
00:53:05Zane was tied up in meetings.
00:53:07By the time Colt got me to the hospital, I was already burning up and half out of it.
00:53:14I don't know how long passed before the door flew open and Zane rushed in.
00:53:19He looked terrifying.
00:53:21And he didn't say a word.
00:53:23I thought he was mad I'd cause trouble.
00:53:27It's just a fever.
00:53:28The doctor said a couple days rest and I'll be fine.
00:53:32I didn't mean to cause you any trouble.
00:53:34He suddenly sat on the bed, pulled me up, and wrapped me tight in his arms.
00:53:39I froze.
00:53:40He'd never held me like that before.
00:53:42He let me go and turned to the doctor.
00:53:45Take good care of my wife.
00:53:46That one line sent my heart racing.
00:53:50Zane!
00:53:51Oh my God, Sienna, why are you in the hospital?
00:53:54She actually followed me all the way here.
00:53:57A little fever and you call Zane?
00:53:59Nice.
00:54:00My uncle said this is what you do.
00:54:02You know how to wrap men around your finger?
00:54:04Where's your proof?
00:54:05Proof?
00:54:06Please.
00:54:07Everyone knows what you've done.
00:54:10Gracie, you're so good at making things up, you should write novels.
00:54:13Zane's face went cold.
00:54:14He grabbed Gracie by the wrist and dragged her out.
00:54:17My past would never wash off.
00:54:19It stuck to me like a brand.
00:54:21How could a man like him ever want someone like me?
00:54:24I pulled the blanket over my head.
00:54:27After that, he never came to see me again.
00:54:29I told myself I didn't care, but I felt so empty.
00:54:35On the third night, I jolted awake from a nightmare.
00:54:38I reached for my water and touched a hot cup of coffee.
00:54:42Rosa, the night shift care aide, came over.
00:54:45Whose coffee is this?
00:54:47The General's.
00:54:48He's been coming every night these past three days.
00:54:50A little after 11 and staying till dawn.
00:54:53He hasn't slept a wink while he's here.
00:54:55I made him coffee because I was worried he was running on empty.
00:55:01Where is he?
00:55:02He just left.
00:55:03I ran to the hospital entrance.
00:55:05It was still dark and foggy and he was already gone.
00:55:11Why won't he come during the day?
00:55:13Why wait till I'm asleep?
00:55:15He doesn't get a second to breathe during the day.
00:55:18The only time he can give you is the time you should be sleeping.
00:55:21He cares about you.
00:55:27Rosa, I really do love him.
00:55:28What am I supposed to do?
00:55:32He's your husband.
00:55:33Of course you love him.
00:55:34If you're worried about him losing sleep, get discharged early and go back.
00:55:38Then he can sleep.
00:55:45As soon as my fever broke, I moved back to the dorm.
00:55:48When I opened the door, Zane had just put on his shirt.
00:55:51It wasn't even buttoned yet.
00:55:55Why are you back?
00:55:56I'm better.
00:55:58He walked over and pressed the back of his hand to my forehead.
00:56:02I wished he wouldn't pull his hand away.
00:56:04You're still a little warm.
00:56:06Want me to give you a sponge bath?
00:56:08You only slept two hours.
00:56:10Aren't you tired?
00:56:11I'm not that weak.
00:56:14On his way out, he patted my head.
00:56:21At noon, he brought the food himself.
00:56:23The tray was piled up like a mountain.
00:56:26Colt dished it up.
00:56:27Don't waste it.
00:56:29Later, Colt told me Zane had taken the tray right out of his hands.
00:56:37This is way too much.
00:56:39I can't finish all that.
00:56:41Did you eat?
00:56:44Zane sat beside me and ate from the same tray.
00:56:47I didn't have much appetite.
00:56:49I only had a few bites of mashed potatoes.
00:56:52He wrapped a napkin around a big drumstick and shoved it into my hand.
00:56:57Eat more meat.
00:56:58You'll get better faster.
00:57:01You going to eat it?
00:57:02Or do I have to feed you?
00:57:04It's too big.
00:57:05I can't finish it.
00:57:07Wouldn't it be weird if I gave you the rest?
00:57:12We've been married over two months.
00:57:14By now, we should be kissing and sleeping together every day.
00:57:17And you're still worried about sharing a drumstick?
00:57:20My face went hot.
00:57:22I lowered my head and bit into the drumstick.
00:57:25He brushed my cheek with his thumb.
00:57:27Why are you blushing so hard?
00:57:29After we ate, he took a hot towel and wiped my fingers clean, one by one.
00:57:36It was midnight, and I was still awake, waiting for Zane.
00:57:40But when someone knocked, it was Colt with a cup of hot milk.
00:57:44The general sent this.
00:57:46He's on the top floor of the building across from here.
00:57:53What is he so busy with?
00:57:54There was an accident during the drill, so they called it off.
00:57:57Gracie ran to research building five and hit a professor with a bottle.
00:58:02And the replacement batch of a zoo solution we bought after she spilled the last one was contaminated.
00:58:07The professors have been trying to purify it for a week, but...
00:58:11Every attempt failed.
00:58:15Zane was already exhausted.
00:58:17I wanted to help.
00:58:18And the second I heard purify, a solution just came to me.
00:58:22I can purify it.
00:58:23Take me to the lab.
00:58:26Colt took me to research building five.
00:58:28Zane was already there.
00:58:30Didn't I tell you to get some sleep?
00:58:32You've been at this for a week.
00:58:34Let me try.
00:58:35Your fever just broke.
00:58:37Then give me two assistants.
00:58:39He looked at me for a long moment, then turned and ordered.
00:58:42Get Professor Hale down here.
00:58:44Half an hour later, Professor Hale came rushing out of the elevator, his hands shaking.
00:58:49General, it worked.
00:58:50100% purity.
00:58:52She even taught us the method.
00:58:54Fewer than ten people in the world can do this.
00:58:56The best was a young woman, code name Mist.
00:58:59She created the light particle compound, then vanished three years ago.
00:59:04Zane hadn't said a word since we left research building five.
00:59:07I knew it.
00:59:08He was doubting me again.
00:59:09How could a woman who dropped out at 15 do something fewer than ten people in the world can?
00:59:14Zane Moore?
00:59:16Are you upset?
00:59:20I'm years older than you, and I'm your husband.
00:59:23You keep calling me by my full name, how am I supposed to like that?
00:59:27He suddenly leaned over me.
00:59:29I fell back onto the bed, and he braced himself above me.
00:59:34What, you want me to pick you up and spin you around?
00:59:36Or toss you in the air a couple times?
00:59:39He was teasing me.
00:59:40The more he did, the more unsettled I felt.
00:59:43Are you doubting me again?
00:59:45I never stopped doubting you, but I never said I didn't believe you.
00:59:49You keep surprising me.
00:59:51I need a second.
00:59:53I can't sleep.
00:59:55Then after I shower, want to do something that might wear you out?
00:59:59I knew what he meant, but I was scared.
01:00:02He was so clean, and I was afraid if he touched me, he'd think I was dirty.
01:00:07I'm tired.
01:00:11Later that night, I lay there with my back to Zane, wide awake.
01:00:15He was right behind me.
01:00:17I could hear him breathing, but I didn't dare turn around.
01:00:20I wanted to be his real wife too, but I don't remember any of the things Colt read to me.
01:00:26What if they're true?
01:00:27What if I have some kind of disease?
01:00:29I couldn't take that risk with Zane.
01:00:34By dawn, I'd made up my mind.
01:00:36Before he touched me, I had to go to the hospital and find out the truth.
01:00:41Everyone at the base hospital knew me.
01:00:43I didn't want anyone finding out about this.
01:00:45What do you want to do today?
01:00:47I was thinking, maybe take a walk into town?
01:00:51Take Colt with you.
01:00:52No need. I'll be fine on my own.
01:00:54Zane looked at me for a moment, then tucked the hair from my forehead behind my ear.
01:00:58Don't be out too late.
01:01:00The doctor had me lie back on the exam table.
01:01:03I shut my eyes, gripped the sheet, and my face burned.
01:01:06I told myself, if they found anything wrong, I'd divorce Zake.
01:01:10I couldn't drag him down with me.
01:01:12The doctor picked up an instrument and was about to begin when she suddenly stopped.
01:01:18We don't need to do the examen. Get dressed.
01:01:22Did you find something wrong with me?
01:01:24You're still a virgin. If I keep going, I'll hurt you.
01:01:28I froze. I couldn't move for the longest time.
01:01:31A virgin? Then all that stuff Colt read out, the bottle service work, marrying an old man, 32 boyfriends.
01:01:37When the blood work came back, the doctor looked it over again.
01:01:40You're healthy. Everything came back clean.
01:01:43For the past three years, anytime people brought up my past, I couldn't even hold my head up.
01:01:47Even I looked down on myself.
01:01:50But I never did any of it.
01:01:53I walked out of the hospital and sat on the front steps, crying so hard I couldn't stop.
01:01:58I couldn't tell if I was relieved or just hurt.
01:02:03I pulled out my phone.
01:02:04The first person I wanted to call was Zane.
01:02:07I got halfway through dialing, then stopped.
01:02:10How was I supposed to say something like this over the phone?
01:02:14Back in the dorm, I read the report again.
01:02:16I was clean. I didn't have anything.
01:02:19Zane could touch me. It wouldn't hurt him.
01:02:22But after the relief wore off, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it felt.
01:02:27Working bottle service, marrying an old man, getting arrested.
01:02:30All of it was in Colt's file.
01:02:32There really was a Sienna Sutton who did those things.
01:02:35If that wasn't me, then someone switched the DNA report and turned me into Sienna.
01:02:40The door opened. Zane walked in and saw my red eyes right away.
01:02:44You've been crying? Who did this to you?
01:02:47That evening, Zane asked what was wrong.
01:02:49I just shook my head and he let it go.
01:02:53That night, he held me from behind, his chin on my shoulder.
01:02:57What happened today?
01:02:58I clutched the blanket and stayed quiet for a long time.
01:03:01He already suspected I'd leaked the mist project.
01:03:04If I told him I wasn't Sienna, would he think I was making it up again?
01:03:08But he'd never said he didn't believe me.
01:03:11Zane, if I told you I'm not Sienna, would you believe me?
01:03:15He went sterth.
01:03:16I sat up and shoved the report into his hand.
01:03:19I went to the hospital today. None of what Colt listed was me.
01:03:23The DNA test from three years ago was fake.
01:03:27He read every page without a word.
01:03:29The quieter he got, the more I panicked.
01:03:31No one would believe this.
01:03:33Paper can lie. My body can't.
01:03:35I braced myself, climbed on top of him, and reached for his buttons.
01:03:39My hands were shaking.
01:03:41If you don't believe me, I'll prove it.
01:03:44He grabbed my hand and rolled me under him.
01:03:46I believe you. You don't have to prove it like this.
01:03:50We're married. This should happen because we both want it.
01:03:53Not because you need to prove you're innocent.
01:03:56He was the first person who said he believed me.
01:04:00Why do you believe me?
01:04:01Because I felt it too.
01:04:03You can paint, you know chemistry, and you speak geranium.
01:04:07A girl who dropped out at 15 doesn't learn all that.
01:04:10And on the cruise, Harrison slipped.
01:04:13He said I'd spoken several languages since I was little.
01:04:16Zane's eyes went cold.
01:04:18Don't tell anyone. Until we know the truth, you stay Sienna.
01:04:21I understand.
01:04:22If I'm not Sistiana, does that mean this marriage doesn't count?
01:04:27What are you trying to say?
01:04:28Nothing. I was just saying.
01:04:31Then let's make it real.
01:04:32Do you want that?
01:04:34My face burned, and I nodded.
01:04:36In the bathroom, I washed up slowly, carefully.
01:04:40Tonight, I didn't want to push Zale away anymore.
01:04:44When I came out, Zane was by the door on the phone.
01:04:47I heard him say Colt.
01:04:51He looked at me with the phone in his hand, like he was seeing me for the first time.
01:04:58Don't wait up.
01:05:00The door closed. He didn't come back for hours.
01:05:03My hair was still dripping as I stood in the empty room.
01:05:06When he said he believed me, was he just trying to make me feel better?
01:05:10I sat on the edge of the bed and waited until almost dawn.
01:05:15Someone knocked on the door.
01:05:16Peach, are you awake?
01:05:19I shot to my feet.
01:05:20What did he call me?
01:05:22In all this time, he'd never called me that.
01:05:24Peach was the nickname he used for Gracie when they were kids.
01:05:27I opened the door. Zane stood there, eyes red, holding a file envelope.
01:05:30Peach, we need to talk.
01:05:32He set the envelope on the table.
01:05:34Inside were two DNA reports.
01:05:36The first one said Gracie and Walter Whitmore weren't related.
01:05:39The second said I was related to Walter Whitmore.
01:05:42Walter Whitmore. Head of the Whitmore family.
01:05:45Gracie's grandfather.
01:05:46My hands started shaking.
01:05:49What made you think to test me?
01:05:53That day at the house in Washington, Gracie shoved the books back all wrong.
01:05:57When she was little, she couldn't stand one book out of place.
01:06:00That's when I knew something was off.
01:06:01I'd already had cold collect hair from her and Walter.
01:06:05After what you said last night, I took one of your hairs off the pillow and sent it in too.
01:06:14Your name is Grace Whitmore.
01:06:16Peach was the nickname I gave you when we were kids.
01:06:18My grandma knew it was you all along.
01:06:22My head was buzzing.
01:06:23The last three years came rushing back, one thing after another.
01:06:28Three years ago, I was a care aide at an assisted living facility.
01:06:31The first time Zane's grandma saw me, she called me Peach.
01:06:34Gracie said I'd had my face made to look like hers as a child.
01:06:38Harrison said he was my ex-boyfriend.
01:06:40So I was the one whose name was stolen.
01:06:42Then the Miss Project leak?
01:06:44It wasn't you. I know who it was.
01:06:46I remembered the photo tucked inside Zane's book.
01:06:49On the back it said,
01:06:51The girl I love, Gracie.
01:06:53The little girl in that photo?
01:06:55Was me?
01:06:56It was you.
01:06:58And that wall of books in the Washington house was built to match your childhood bookshelf.
01:07:03No wonder I loved that wall the moment I saw it.
01:07:07I was jealous for so long.
01:07:09Turns out I was jealous of myself.
01:07:13I took a step closer to Zane.
01:07:15So the girl you liked when you were a kid?
01:07:17That was me?
01:07:19His ears turned red instantly.
01:07:21What about now?
01:07:22Do you still like me?
01:07:23He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
01:07:26I waited and waited and my heart slowly went cold.
01:07:30He liked the girl I was back then.
01:07:32Maybe not the woman I am now.
01:07:37It's okay.
01:07:38As long as you still remember the girl I used to be.
01:07:40I do. I really do. I love you.
01:07:43I love you so much.
01:07:44That night with the thunder, I didn't know you were peach yet.
01:07:46His whole face went red.
01:07:48Even his neck.
01:07:50My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it might explode.
01:07:53But I acted like I didn't care.
01:07:56Oh.
01:07:56Got it.
01:07:58The light in his eyes dimmed instantly.
01:08:00I almost laughed.
01:08:02But I married you under someone else's name.
01:08:05Then I'll marry you again.
01:08:06As many times as it takes.
01:08:07As long as it's you.
01:08:10My eyes stung.
01:08:12Zane, then I want to marry you again as Grace Whitmore.
01:08:14Just a simple wedding.
01:08:16Can we do that?
01:08:18Of course we can.
01:08:21He pulled me into his arms.
01:08:23Rested his chin on my head.
01:08:24And didn't let go for a long time.
01:08:27But the people who stole my name are still living in my grandfather's house.
01:08:33Gracie and Harrison, are you going after them?
01:08:36Your parents went missing with you three years ago.
01:08:39Gracie said they were dead, but I checked.
01:08:41No one ever saw their bodies.
01:08:44Harrison is your uncle.
01:08:45He knew who you were and still helped Gracie.
01:08:48He even posed as your ex.
01:08:50If your parents are alive, he's holding them somewhere.
01:08:53If I move now, he might hurt them.
01:08:55My parents?
01:08:56I can't even remember what they look like.
01:09:00I had to know why I'd lost all my memories.
01:09:03Zane brought three specialists to the base hospital to examine me.
01:09:07Your memory loss wasn't an accident.
01:09:09Someone operated on your brain and altered the area tied to memory.
01:09:12Only a top surgeon could do that.
01:09:14A doctor.
01:09:15Harrison came to mind.
01:09:17He was a doctor.
01:09:18It can be repaired, but it's risky.
01:09:21Worst case, you could end up in a vegetative state.
01:09:24Then who can do it?
01:09:25We're not doing it.
01:09:28He took my hand and walked me out.
01:09:31On the drive back, he stared out the window and held my hand so tight it hurt.
01:09:36That afternoon, Zane went out and didn't come back for hours.
01:09:41I made dinner and waited for him at the table.
01:09:44It was almost ten when the door opened.
01:09:47The second he came in, he pulled me into a tight hug.
01:09:50I'm tired.
01:09:51I just want to hold you.
01:09:52Did you eat?
01:09:54Don't wait for me next time.
01:09:55If you're hungry, eat.
01:09:56He said that, but he never let go.
01:10:00Zane, those are my memories.
01:10:01Why won't you let me get them back?
01:10:03I'm not risking your life.
01:10:07And it's been ten years.
01:10:09After you left the country, you slowly cut me out.
01:10:11By the end, there was nothing left for me in your heart.
01:10:14I'm afraid that if you remember, you won't want me anymore.
01:10:17At the scam compound, he fired seven shots at the man holding me without blinking.
01:10:22And now he was afraid I'd leave him?
01:10:24My chest tightened.
01:10:27Zane, I don't want to remember anymore.
01:10:28This is enough for me.
01:10:30Because in these past three years, you're the only one I've loved.
01:10:34He lowered his head and kissed me, so gently like he was afraid I'd break.
01:10:40A few days later, Zane took me with him to Washington for a meeting.
01:10:44I told him I wanted to see my grandfather.
01:10:47I didn't remember him, but he was the only blood relative I knew was still alive.
01:10:52One visit. That's it. Don't say a word.
01:10:55Harrison is your grandfather's adopted son.
01:10:57He lives with the Whitmeats.
01:10:58If your grandfather knows, Harrison will know soon enough.
01:11:00Zane invited my grandfather to the Morehouse himself.
01:11:03He was so old, his hair completely white.
01:11:06The second he walked in, he looked straight at me.
01:11:09I clenched my hands behind my back until my nails dug into my palms.
01:11:13I wanted so badly to call him Grandpa, but I couldn't.
01:11:17Mr. Whitward, I got into a fight with Gracie at Zane's grandmother's birthday.
01:11:21I asked you here to apologize in person.
01:11:23He didn't say a word. His eyes never left my face.
01:11:29Before he got in the car, he looked back at me one more time.
01:11:33He recognized you.
01:11:34I stood in the doorway and watched the car drive away.
01:11:37Then the tears came all at once.
01:11:41The next day, someone claiming to be my grandfather's assistant called.
01:11:45He said my grandfather wanted to see me alone.
01:11:49I couldn't forget the way he looked back at me before he got in the car.
01:11:53I knew he had something to say to me.
01:11:56Zane was in a meeting.
01:11:58I text him, but I left with two bodyguards before he could answer.
01:12:02Two cars ooched jipping.
01:12:04Two cars kept following us.
01:12:08Then they rammed us.
01:12:09A bodyguard had just gotten Zane on the phone when a tanker truck going the wrong way came straight at
01:12:14us.
01:12:14At the last second, I had one thought.
01:12:17I still hadn't married him a second time.
01:12:19Then came the crash.
01:12:21Flames shot into the sky.
01:12:23While I was unconscious, I kept dreaming.
01:12:25In the dream, my mom was waking me up.
01:12:29Mom, let me sleep a little longer.
01:12:31Let her sleep. She finally gets a real vacation.
01:12:34Three summers ago, I came back from the UK and vacationed on the West Coast with my parents.
01:12:39On the last day, Uncle Harrison insisted on driving us to the airport.
01:12:43We drank the coffee he handed us.
01:12:45Then he started driving farther and farther out.
01:12:48My parents passed out first.
01:12:49Then my whole body went weak.
01:12:51I couldn't move.
01:12:53Uncle, what are you doing?
01:12:56Men in black drugged my parents away.
01:12:58There was thunder that night.
01:13:00The surgical light was blinding white.
01:13:02Harrison leaned over me and smiled.
01:13:03Be good, Peach. Soon you won't remember a thing.
01:13:08There was a voice in my ear, calling me Peach.
01:13:11It went on and on.
01:13:12When I opened my eyes, Zane was asleep on the couch.
01:13:16He had a face full of strabble.
01:13:18And he'd lost weight.
01:13:20Later, a nurse told me he hadn't left the room once.
01:13:24Zane.
01:13:25He jolted awake, rushed to the bed and grabbed my hand.
01:13:29Peach, you're awake.
01:13:30You're finally awake.
01:13:31You look exhausted.
01:13:33You were unconscious for a full week.
01:13:35It feels like I've been asleep for three years.
01:13:37He froze.
01:13:39Then he braced himself on the bed and lowered his head.
01:13:41Two tears fell onto the sheet.
01:13:43This was the day he feared most.
01:13:46Zane, I remember everything.
01:13:47Those years, I was doing classified research.
01:13:49I wasn't allowed to contact anyone but my parents.
01:13:52I never chose to leave you.
01:13:54He buried his face in my shoulder.
01:13:55And his whole body kept shaking.
01:13:58I remembered that little boy too.
01:14:00The one who used to run after me and call me Peach.
01:14:05Are my parents still alive?
01:14:08Willow was my art account.
01:14:09I donated all the money from those paintings to a children's charity in the UK.
01:14:14The Mist Hale talked about.
01:14:15That was me.
01:14:17I couldn't bring myself to tell Zane.
01:14:20If the UK Institute found out Mist was still alive, they'd take me back.
01:14:24And then I couldn't even contact him.
01:14:26He'd only just gotten me back.
01:14:29That assistant's number was fake.
01:14:31I checked with your grandfather.
01:14:32He never sent anyone for you.
01:14:34He hasn't been himself since you saw him.
01:14:36Harrison lives with him.
01:14:37He would have noticed right away.
01:14:39They've already made their move.
01:14:40We can't wait.
01:14:43But my parents...
01:14:44The fact they came after you means they're panicking.
01:14:46If we wait, your grandfather's next.
01:14:48I didn't know where my parents were.
01:14:50But Grandpa was right there, living with Harrison every day.
01:14:53I couldn't just let something happen to him.
01:14:57I nodded.
01:14:59The day I got discharged, Zane took me to the Whitmore Estate.
01:15:02Grandpa, Gracie, and Harrison were all in the living room.
01:15:05The second Harrison saw me, his face changed.
01:15:07Three years ago, he smiled at me beside an operating table.
01:15:10Now he couldn't.
01:15:11My legs wouldn't stop shaking.
01:15:16What are you doing here?
01:15:18What are you doing here?
01:15:18I'm here to take back my name.
01:15:21My name is Grace Whitmore.
01:15:23Three years ago, they erased my memory and passed me off as a girl named Sienna.
01:15:27You're lying.
01:15:28You're Sienna Sutton.
01:15:29Three years ago, you did DNA testing with the Sutton family, with the police there the whole time.
01:15:34And I have years of photos with mom and dad on my phone.
01:15:36She sounded so sure, and I couldn't produce a single one of those photos.
01:15:41I looked back at Zane.
01:15:43He didn't speak for me.
01:15:44He just stood behind me and waited for me to say it myself.
01:15:47With him behind me, I could stand my ground.
01:15:50Photos can be faked.
01:15:52Memories can't.
01:15:54Grandpa, when I was ten, you secretly took me on a plane to a concert without telling anyone.
01:15:59You spent a fortune to get me backstage to meet the singer.
01:16:04You told me it was our secret.
01:16:06Grandpa's cane slipped from his hand and hit the floor.
01:16:09She's not my granddaughter.
01:16:10Peach is my granddaughter.
01:16:13I had the Sutton's DNA tested.
01:16:15Gracie's a match.
01:16:16The family that claimed Peach at the hospital three years ago was hers.
01:16:20Gracie is the real Sienna Sutton.
01:16:22When the Azure solution spilled, and when the professor got hurt, Gracie had broken into research building five.
01:16:27She was after missed project files and sold them off seas.
01:16:30I traced the money.
01:16:32You stole my name, my grandfather, and three years of my life.
01:16:38Gracie went pale.
01:16:39Grandpa, help me! I'm Gracie! I'm your granddaughter!
01:16:42Grandpa pulled his hand back and never looked at her again.
01:16:45Harrison made for the back door.
01:16:47The second he opened it, the FBI was there.
01:16:49Zane had called them.
01:16:51Gracie and Harrison were taken away together.
01:16:54I stood on the front steps.
01:16:56Grandpa came out with his kin.
01:16:57He touched my face.
01:16:58His hand wouldn't stop shaking.
01:17:00Peach, Grandpa should have known sooner.
01:17:03When I woke up in the hospital three years ago, that family only wanted money.
01:17:08This was the first time my real family cried and claimed me.
01:17:11I threw my arms around him.
01:17:13Grandpa, I'm Peach.
01:17:15Grandpa went back inside.
01:17:17My tears still hadn't dried.
01:17:20Zane came over and wiped them away with his thumb.
01:17:22I couldn't make myself look up at him.
01:17:24Zane, there's one more thing I haven't told you.
01:17:28I'm Myst.
01:17:29He didn't say a word.
01:17:31He just tipped his head back and looked at the sky.
01:17:33I suspected it.
01:17:35That night in Research Building 5 when you purified the Agile solution.
01:17:38Once my name is public, the Research Institute will know Myst is alive.
01:17:42They'll come get me.
01:17:43Can you stay?
01:17:45Stay here in the States.
01:17:46I can protect you.
01:17:48If you want to keep working, I'll build you a lab.
01:17:52I knew that if I stayed, no one could make me go.
01:17:56But the Research Institute trained and supported me for years.
01:17:59I developed all of that myself.
01:18:02I was the only one who understood it.
01:18:03I couldn't just walk away.
01:18:05I'm sorry.
01:18:10I'll talk to the President.
01:18:11Ten years ago, when you left, you never meant to come back.
01:18:15So how long this time?
01:18:16Five years?
01:18:17Ten?
01:18:18Once I go back, it'll be at least five years.
01:18:21I won't be allowed to contact anyone outside.
01:18:24Zane, don't wait for me.
01:18:26If you meet someone else, marry her.
01:18:29You said you'd marry me again, as Grace Whitmer.
01:18:32I did.
01:18:33But five years?
01:18:34How could I ask him to wait?
01:18:36I couldn't say a word.
01:18:40Don't tell me when you leave.
01:18:41I'm afraid I'd go to the airport and hide you where no one could find you.
01:18:47I covered my face and cried so hard I couldn't speak.
01:18:51Before I left, I went to the jail to see Gracie.
01:18:55Through the glass, she picked up the phone and let out a cold laugh.
01:19:00What, you here to gloat?
01:19:02I just want to know why Henderson did this, honey.
01:19:05Your grandfather said it a long time ago.
01:19:07Harrison was adopted.
01:19:09He'd never get a dime of the Whitmore money.
01:19:12So he came to me.
01:19:14I had my face changed to look like you and took your place as the Whitmore granddaughter.
01:19:18He switched that DNA test at the hospital, too.
01:19:21He'd get the money, I'd get Zane.
01:19:23My name, my grandfather, my husband.
01:19:26They split them up between them just like that.
01:19:29That night three years ago, I wanted you dead.
01:19:32Harrison stopped me.
01:19:33He just wanted you to forget everything.
01:19:35He couldn't bear to have you killed.
01:19:36He wanted you for himself.
01:19:38I remembered his face above the operating table, smiling down at me.
01:19:50So that's why he said he was my ex-boyfriend?
01:19:52Yeah.
01:19:54Everything I did.
01:19:55Working bottle service, marrying that old man.
01:19:57He pinned all of it on you and handed it to Zane.
01:20:01If Zane looked down on you, he'd throw you out.
01:20:04Then you'd have nowhere to go but Harrison.
01:20:07What about my parents?
01:20:09They're not dead.
01:20:11Your father's the real Whitmore heir.
01:20:12If I ever slipped up, Harrison would have let your dad out, had him inherit everything, then used your mom
01:20:17to force him to sign it all over to Harrison.
01:20:20Get me out of here, and I'll tell you where they are.
01:20:24My parents were alive.
01:20:26My chest tightened.
01:20:28But she was lying.
01:20:29If she really knew, she would have traded it to the police for a lighter sentence already.
01:20:34I hung up.
01:20:36Harrison was the only one who knew where they were.
01:20:42Harrison wouldn't say a word.
01:20:44Zane had already been digging into Harrison's accounts.
01:20:47After the arrest, they finally found it.
01:20:50For three years, money had been sent every month to a farm in the Northern Mountains.
01:20:54That night, Zane led the team there himself.
01:20:58I waited outside Grandpa's house all night.
01:21:00I held my phone all night.
01:21:02My parents were out there.
01:21:04Zane, too.
01:21:05I couldn't lose any of them again.
01:21:07At dawn, the cars came back.
01:21:09My parents got out.
01:21:10My mom was so thin, I'd barely recognized her.
01:21:13It had been three years.
01:21:15I thought I'd never see them again.
01:21:17I ran over and hugged them.
01:21:19Dad! Mom!
01:21:21Peach! My Peach!
01:21:23Zane got us out.
01:21:25The second he saw us, he called us Mom and Dad.
01:21:29Did you marry him?
01:21:31I nodded through my tears.
01:21:33That explains it.
01:21:34No wonder it came so naturally.
01:21:36Good.
01:21:37He's been good to you since you were little.
01:21:39Grandpa stood in the doorway with his cane, wiping away tears when he thought no one could see.
01:21:44I turned to look for Zane.
01:21:45He was the last one out of the car, lumping, with blood all over his pant leg.
01:21:51I went to the hospital with Zane.
01:21:53His leg needed several stitches.
01:21:55You were hurt, why didn't you tell me?
01:21:57It's just a scratch.
01:21:59I helped him lie back, and the tears just came.
01:22:02Thank you for saving my parents, and for coming back safe.
01:22:08I'm your husband.
01:22:09You never have to thank me.
01:22:12A week later, people from the UK Research Institute came for me.
01:22:16The day I left, I didn't tell Zane.
01:22:18Before I boarded, I sent him one message.
01:22:20Zane, take care.
01:22:23Before takeoff, my phone lit up.
01:22:25Just one line. I'll wait for you.
01:22:28I couldn't bring myself to look out the window.
01:22:31If I did, I knew I wouldn't be able to leave.
01:22:34Back in the UK, I handed off every unfinished project, one by one.
01:22:39Then I handed in my resignation.
01:22:41The Institute stalled for a year.
01:22:43In the end, they let me go.
01:22:46I wanted to go home, and home was with Zane.
01:22:49When I came back, I didn't tell Zane.
01:22:51I pushed open the study door.
01:22:53He was at the desk, staring at that little girl's photo.
01:22:57Zane.
01:22:58He shot to his feet and froze.
01:23:01Weren't you supposed to be gone five years?
01:23:03I couldn't wait five years.
01:23:04I quit.
01:23:05I'm not leaving again.
01:23:07I told you I'd marry you again with my real name.
01:23:09I'm back.
01:23:13Okay.
01:23:14The wedding can be simple.
01:23:15But from now on, if anyone asks who my wife is, I'll say Grace Whitmore.
01:23:20That year, Gracie and Harrison were both sentenced to life in prison.
01:23:24Zane never forgot that Kyle sold me to the border scam compound.
01:23:28Kyle went to prison too.
01:23:30The Suttons never asked me for money again.
01:23:33Their real daughter was in prison.
01:23:37Before the wedding, we reapplied for our marriage license under my real name.
01:23:41The wedding was simple, right in the Moore family garden.
01:23:44My parents sat in the front row, with grandpa beside them.
01:23:46Zane's mom, Diane, hugged me.
01:23:49Welcome home.
01:23:51Roz came too.
01:23:52The one who'd called me filthy and moved out of the Moore house.
01:23:55She stood in the back and wouldn't look at me.
01:23:58Zane's grandma came too.
01:24:00She held my hand and smiled at me.
01:24:02Peach, I told you I didn't get it wrong.
01:24:06Grandma was the one who pushed me towards Zane in the first place.
01:24:09Zane had a white Davey pinned to his chest.
01:24:11My dad walked me over and placed my hand in Zane's.
01:24:15Grace Whitmore, I've waited for you all these years.
01:24:18You don't have to wait anymore.
01:24:20This time, it was my real name.
01:24:22I'm sorry, I don't forget to ask you.
01:24:23But you didn't like me.
01:24:23I'm sorry.
01:24:23I'm so sorry.
