Short filmTranscript
00:00My baby giggles inside my belly. Yeah, torture dad just like that. He had it coming for how he
00:04treated you. True to his word, Ian finally starts his slow, relentless pursuit. From that moment on,
00:09everyone in Drago realized that the so-called ascetic rich air isn't cold at all. In front of
00:13his fiancée, he's basically a loyal puppy. When are you actually going to marry me? Ian asks
00:19helplessly. After his 99th failed proposal, in front of me, his patience stretches wide as the
00:24ocean. I think for a moment as I caress my growing belly. I haven't heard my baby's thoughts in a
00:29while. I know. He's coming soon. For the baby's sake and the paperwork later, I glance at Ian.
00:34Say what you just said again. Ian freezes, then pulls me into a kiss. I said,
00:40Will you marry me? Grow old with me and be buried side by side? I finally nod. I do.
00:46Stephen beams with joy and immediately takes out a gift box. Inside is an emerald bracelet,
00:51an heirloom of the Brit family. Wear this, harrying my grandchild. I must have brought you
00:55so many hardships. I want to refuse, but Ian forces it onto my wrist. Since you're my wife,
01:01just keep it. I can't exactly refuse, in front of everyone, so I accept it reluctantly. I feel no
01:06affection for Ian. I only see him as my lifesaver. Things have settled down. When Ian is done with
01:11everything, I've finished packing and am ready to leave Brit Manor. Confused, Ian frowns and blocks
01:16my path. What are you doing? You just accepted my proposal, and now you want to abandon me? I shake
01:22my head. Mr. Brit, as you know, this was just a deal from the start. That one night was an
01:29accident.
01:31You don't love me, and I don't love you. Let's end it here.
01:36Ian looks surprised and grips my waist. Who says I don't love you? This time, I'm confused. How could
01:41there be love for a one-night stand? But we already have a baby. That's not the product of love.
01:47Noticing I won't be swayed, Ian realizes my stubborn nature. I don't care for jewelry,
01:51or purses. That small bit of sincerity I had is gone as well. Exposed, Aiden tries to run,
01:56but Theo claps his hands, and a few burly bodyguards immediately grab him. How dare you betray me?
02:01You're asking for trouble. Theo's temper is notorious. His elite guards easily subdue.
02:05Aiden and Camilla. Camilla, beaten and coughing blood, glares at me with pure hatred.
02:10Elaine, you think Ian will marry you just because? You're carrying his baby? He loves Wendy.
02:17You're nothing. I shrug, keeping a nonchalant expression. So what? I never said I have to
02:23marry him. We're all adults here. Love doesn't really matter. I was betrayed after eight years
02:29together. Love isn't essential to me anymore. My baby is what matters. Way to go, mom. That's the
02:36spirit. But why is dad getting so mad? Perhaps my nonchalant attitude pricked Ian's pride. He
02:43suddenly comes up to me and hugs me. Sorry. To disappoint. Who says I won't marry her?
02:49Wendy stares at Ian in disbelief. Ian, how could you do this to me? Ian replies calmly. We broke
02:57up a long time ago. Why did you still go abroad to find me then? Ian frowns. Did you misunderstand
03:03something? I just happened to be there on business. He leans closer and whispers in my ear. I underestimated
03:10you. I really thought you were nothing but a useless pushover. Yay. Mom and dad are finally
03:15together. I can come into the world. My baby is so excited. Only Steven stands firmly behind me. We
03:22don't know the result yet. Nobody here can jump to conclusions about Ms. Buckley. I crouch to pick
03:26up the DNA test report and glance at the smug Camilla and Wendy. As I open the report, I smile.
03:31You're
03:31all in too much of a hurry to actually read it, aren't you? This DNA test isn't for my baby
03:37with Ian.
03:37Camilla, it's for your baby with your husband, Theo Baxter. It says your baby has no blood relation
03:43with Theo. Camilla's face drains of color. Her eyes widen in disbelief. How, how is that possible?
03:48She snatches the report. When she sees her name paired with Theo's, her face goes ghostly pale.
03:53She doesn't even have a chance to explain before a hard slap sends her sprawling to the floor.
03:57Theo's expression darkens as he yanks her by the hair and asks her sharply, who's the guy? Tell me.
04:02Camilla grits her teeth, refusing to answer. But when Theo's fist lands on her,
04:05she finally breaks under the pain. Stop it. I'll tell you. I'll tell you. It's A-Aiden.
04:12The room falls into stunned silence. It turns out Camilla has been involved with Aiden all along,
04:16and everything I said at the wedding was the truth. Aiden steps out from behind Camilla,
04:20a smirk plastered across his face. Elaine, you went to all this trouble to climb the social ladder
04:24and used my wedding to stage a fake DNA test just to hitch a ride with the Brit family.
04:30But karma's fast. Your tricks got exposed immediately. As long as we run a real test,
04:37the truth will come out. You're nothing but a complete fraud, cheating on me all these years.
04:42You canceled our wedding in front of everyone and even ran a DNA test with another man.
04:47You're really shameless. The cameras keep flashing. The reporters broadcast me. As a woman without limits,
04:53mom's eyes brim with disappointment. She shakes her head over and over. She's not our daughter.
04:58We've cut ties with her. Camilla throws the report at my face, grinning like she's won.
05:04See for yourself. You can't fool us. I quietly glance at Ian. He lifts an eyebrow and makes a
05:10slicing motion across his neck, threatening me. The Brit family relatives who had been warm
05:14bored me immediately switch sides, rallying behind Wendy. Damn it. A fake dares. Show up in the Brit family,
05:21thinking she belongs here? We wasted time giving her the benefit of the doubt.
05:25Wendy speaks with a gentle tone, yet every sentence carries a sting. It's completely at
05:29odds with her soft demeanor. After all the foreshadowing, she smiles and asks,
05:33is the baby in your belly? Really, Ian's? So Wendy doesn't believe me. She's been setting
05:37this up all along. The last DNA test was rushed and doubts about my baby never fully vanished.
05:42Plenty of people whispered that the report might have been fake. The baby in my belly seethes.
05:46This scheming woman. She abandoned dad back then.
05:49Now that he's successful, she wants to reap the rewards. Let her try testing again.
05:54I'm dad's son and yours. That's a fact. I'd like to see what tricks she can pull now.
05:59Just then, Camila steps through the crowd, holding a report. She points at me, smug as ever.
06:04Elaine, you're finished. I've got the DNA test report. The baby in your belly has no blood
06:10relation to Mr. Brit whatsoever. I haven't even reacted yet. When my baby erupts in a furious roar,
06:14that's impossible. I know for sure who my dad is. I heard she was the Buckley family's eldest
06:18daughter, who played both sides. She got pregnant with Mr. Brit's baby at Mr. Miller's wedding.
06:23She called off her wedding on the spot and even had a DNA test done with Mr. Brit. What a
06:27move.
06:28Gosh, she used such dirty tricks and actually got into the Brit family. And now she shows up at
06:33Ms. Lane's welcoming party? The nerve. Everyone knows Ms. Lane is Mr. Brit's only love.
06:41If she's carrying his child, she's clearly the other woman. Holding a glass of water,
06:46I listen to the gossip without flinching. Ms. Buckley. Wendy calls out to me at the center
06:51of the hall. She grabs my hand and leads me forward. Ian stands there with a calm expression,
06:56his gaze on me faintly displeased. Hello, everyone. I haven't been back for a long time,
07:00and just after arriving, I heard about Ms. Buckley. My health isn't great, and she got pregnant with
07:05Ian's child. It's actually good news. Many women have tried to get close to Ian over the years,
07:11but he's always kept himself pure for me. Only Ms. Buckley managed to rise through the ranks
07:16thanks to the baby. But Ms. Buckley, before I went abroad, I'd heard that you had been pursuing
07:20Aiden passionately. I can't help but wonder why you suddenly shift your sights to Ian. Wendy carries
07:24herself like she's the lady of the house. Her every word puts me in the role of the other woman,
07:28but Stephen shoots her a sharp look. No outsider can decide who becomes my daughter-in-law.
07:33Go back and prepare for tonight's welcoming party. You ran off overseas, stubbornly,
07:37leaving Ian behind. And now you're suddenly back, huh? Wendy's face turns pale. Ian pats her
07:42shoulder to comfort her. Slowly, her expression softens. When Camilla passes by me, she sneers.
07:47Elaine, tonight at the party, I'll make sure you're wiped out of Drago. I calmly reply.
07:51Okay, let's see who gets wiped out first, you or me. Camilla didn't expect me to talk back.
07:57She glares at me, before leaving with Wendy triumphantly. Mom, be careful. Camilla will team
08:01up with Wendy tonight. They'll try to redo the DNA test and slander you. Tell dad to come up with
08:06a
08:06plan. Smiling, I pat my belly and reassure the baby, don't worry. Even without your dad, I can
08:13handle this. Because of my unique status, only Stephen treats me well, like a true daughter-in-law
08:20keeping me by his side. Guests come and go. Their eyes, all fixed on me with strange curiosity.
08:26I fall silent for a moment. I remember my baby saying Wendy is returning today. Wendy and Camilla
08:30are good friends. She won't miss a chance to come after me. When I see a line of luxury cars
08:35outside,
08:35I turn to Ian and say, well, the opportunity just showed up. The gates of Britt Manor open.
08:41A graceful woman stands outside, her eyes soft but sharp. Ian steps forward, and I know at once that
08:47she's Wendy. The woman he's loved for years must be exceptional. Wendy is really gentle and refined.
08:52She hooks her arm through Ian's affectionately. Ian, it's been so long. She doesn't even glance
08:57at me. Instead, Camilla, trailing behind her, shoots me a provocative look. Well, well. Elaine,
09:02so this is where you ran off to? You used tricks to get pregnant with Mr. Britt's child. But why
09:07hasn't he announced that he's marrying you? Only then does Wendy seem to notice me. She looks at
09:11Ian with a fragile expression. Ian? This is... Ian answers plainly. She's the mother of my child.
09:17Wendy freezes for a second. A few tears fall, as if she's been hurt. Then,
09:21she walks over and takes my hand. Since you're pregnant, you should take good care of yourself.
09:25Even if Ian can't marry you. The Britt family is a big household. I won't drive you away.
09:32Ian is my only way out. This rich heir has forces from both sides of the law and the Britt
09:36family's
09:37power blankets, Drago. Ever since Ian became the successor, he has single-handedly secured control
09:42of the entire family. He basically leads Drago's elite circle, and everyone treats him with respect.
09:46But Ian is a hopeless romantic. Ever since his childhood sweetheart, Wendy went abroad to study.
09:50He has shut himself off emotionally and refuses to let any woman get close. However,
09:54Steven is nearly 100 years old and desperate for Ian to settle down. So, he can hold a grandchild
09:58and enjoy family life. Ian, who keeps his distance from women, naturally wants nothing to do with
10:02anyone else. So he made a desperate decision to go abroad to win Wendy back. But before he could
10:06leave, he ran into me at the wedding. And suddenly, there's a baby in the picture. Under Steven's
10:09pressure, Ian cancels his trip and stays at Britt Manor with me. But I feel the pressure mounting.
10:14He keeps a cold expression all day, pacing around like a supervisor watching a prisoner.
10:18Mom? Wendy is coming today. Brace yourself. I barely react to my baby's warning. After all,
10:25everyone knows how lethal a first love can be. I never expect Ian to fall for me anyway.
10:29But after seeing the trending list, I start to panic. Every hashtag is about my behavior.
10:33At the wedding. It looks absurd from any angle. The internet tears me apart. Reporters and gossip
10:38seekers camp outside Britt Manor every day, waiting for me to show my face. Even the Britt's daily
10:42movements are affected. Ian eats fruit beside me, casually, watching the crowd outside. Clean up
10:48your own mess. The Britt family doesn't support freeloaders. Camila's quiet manipulations in her
10:53innocent act gradually won over mom and dad. Even Aiden, whom I'd secretly admired for years,
10:58started showing real interest in her. After just a few interactions, they praised her endlessly in
11:03front of me, saying how thoughtful, considerate, and perfect she was. Gradually, my reputation in social
11:07circles plummeted. Rumors spread that I was shamelessly clinging to Aiden. Every small thing I did
11:12was twisted. For instance, I knitted Aiden a scarf in winter, and people claimed I ignored my sick
11:16mother just to do crafts for him. I gave him an auctioned watch worth tens of thousands of dollars.
11:22But the gossip said, I spent millions on it. And the money came from the Buckley family's account.
11:29These lies came from nowhere, turning my image from a refined young lady into a shameless,
11:34obsessive simp. I kept a polite front toward Camila, and when Aiden suddenly proposed,
11:38I had even less energy to notice her scheme. I never imagined she was secretly conspiring with
11:43him. If I hadn't heard my baby's voice at the wedding, I would have walked into the Miller family
11:47as a pawn, waiting to be torn apart. The Miller family is far more powerful than my family.
11:51Mom and dad will never offend them because of me. This actor continue acting. You have no idea
11:56how dad has been replaying that night in his head. He's a top-tier, hopeless romantic.
12:01Mom, you don't even need to do anything. He'll convince himself to fall for you.
12:05I close my eyes and take three seconds to process the baby's words before replying to Ian.
12:10I'm not trying to enter the Brit family. I just want to safely have the baby and watch him grow
12:14up healthy. Ian doesn't respond, but my baby pipes up again. Dad's interest meter is rising.
12:20He's pleased with your answer. Falling in love with you is only a matter of time. If I'm trapped now
12:25and surrounded on all sides, the only person who can save me is Ian. Though I was born into the
12:30Buckley family, we're a minor clan. Our claim to fame is that we're a scholarly,
12:34culturally, cultured family. From a young age, I was trained as a proper young lady and admired
12:37in high society. Everything changed at 18, when Camila arrived. She's my distant relative's
12:42daughter. After her parents died unexpectedly, mom and dad took her in as an adopted daughter.
12:45At first, she seemed timid, and I naturally reached out to be friendly. I never imagined
12:49that under her docile exterior lay a calculating mind. Ian carries me, his eyes scanning the guests
12:53who just mocked me, with a sharp and unyielding gaze. From now on, Miss Buckley is part of the
12:58Brit family. If I hear another word of gossip about her, don't blame me for being ruthless.
13:03With that, he strides out of the banquet hall. Through him, I see Camila's and Aiden's faces.
13:08Their eyes glare at me viciously, as if they won't let this slide. Ian seats me quietly in the car,
13:12then slides in beside me. The weight of his presence hits me. This is a man who carved his
13:17territory. Through blood in Drago. And being the eldest son of the Brit family, he was untouchable
13:21in status and influence. By all rights, someone like me shouldn't even be near him. Ian closes his
13:26eyes for a moment, then picks up his phone, cancel my flight, and bring Wendy back. Mom,
13:32your biggest rival, Wendy Lane, is about to appear. She's dad's only first love,
13:37and she's far more scheming than Camila. But don't worry, whether it's Camila or Wendy,
13:43dad and I will back you all the way. I press a hand to my belly and smile bitterly. Though
13:47my baby
13:47is hopeful, I feel none of it. I almost married another man. How could I ever catch the eye of
13:53the
13:53ascetic, rich air? I escaped Aiden to enter the Brit family. Who knows if I've just stepped into
13:57an even deeper trap? Ian studies me with narrowed eyes. His suspicion of me has never faded.
14:02Miss Buckley, even though you're carrying my baby, I won't marry you. He sneered. I don't care what
14:09tricks you use to get pregnant, or how long you've been, setting this whole act up. But entering the
14:15Brit family isn't going to be that easy. When Camila's words sink in, the guests finally realize
14:19that I'm carrying Ian's baby while marrying Aiden. It's way too outrageous. Immediately,
14:23the guests verbally attack me. Yeah, this woman first latched onto Mr. Miller,
14:27then secretly schemed to sleep with Mr. Brit. How could someone like her enter the Brit family?
14:31Unfaithful bitch. And she chose this day to announce the father of her baby. The Buckley family
14:36should have thrown her out already. She thinks she can leverage her baby for status? I think the Brit
14:40family will never forgive her. They won't let her stay in Drago anymore. She's immoral and shameless.
14:46Publicly announcing her affair? That's just disgusting. The jeers grow louder. Too embarrassed.
14:51Dad shouts. I have no daughter like you. Get out. Camila is the only true daughter of this family.
14:59Aiden stays silent. Watching me get scolded. Suddenly, a cane thunders against the floor.
15:05Steven's commanding voice rings out. Enough. Who do you think you are? Helping a prestigious
15:09family bully a woman? As long as Miss Buckley is carrying our Brit family blood? She's my daughter-in-law.
15:16Harry, bring Miss Buckley to the car. We're going home. Harry White, the butler, nods and reaches
15:21out to help me. I'm exhausted from stress and pregnancy. After a few steps, I stumble forward.
15:26Just as I'm about to fall, a pair of hands scoops me up, holding me close. Ian's expression is calm.
15:32I may not acknowledge you, but you're carrying my baby, and you've been mine. I won't let anyone hurt
15:39you. The hall falls silent for a heartbeat, then erupts into a heated discussion. Everyone stares at me
15:44in disbelief. How could a woman from such a small family be carrying a child of the Brit family?
15:50Ian's prayer beads snap suddenly. Black pearls scatter across the floor. Frowning, he murmurs
15:55under his breath, I don't even know this woman. How could this be? The DNA report and the mention
15:59of his birthmark prove that the bride standing before him is his woman. Memories from three
16:04months ago come flooding back. That night, he was drugged after being seriously injured. In the end,
16:08he collapsed in a hotel room. In a haze of desire, he lost control. When he woke up,
16:12he thought it was just a dream. He didn't expect it to be real. Elaine, you really have no shame.
16:17Camila jumps in again. When she first hears that the baby in my belly is Ian's, her mask slips for
16:22a
16:22moment, revealing pure jealousy. But noticing that Ian doesn't acknowledge me at all, she quickly
16:26regains her smugness. You cheated behind Aiden's back and even crawled onto Mr. Brit's bed? You're far
16:31too calculating. You played us all for fools and dragged our family's reputation through the mud.
16:36To think a virtuous family like ours, produce such a promiscuous woman like you. I'm battered
16:41and weak from the blood draw. The baby's comfort is the only thing, keeping me going while I wait
16:45for the result. The guests stare at me with judgmental gazes, all expecting Ian to tear me
16:49apart. No one believes that Ian, who stays away from women, could have a child. I know too that
16:54if the baby isn't his, I'm in for a total disaster. Finally, hurried footsteps echo from outside.
16:59Ian's assistant rushes in, holding a report. He whispers urgently into Ian's ear. Ian's usual cold
17:04expression gives way to sheer shock. Meanwhile, Stephen taps his cane impatiently on the floor.
17:08Don't just whisper into his ears. Is this my grandchild or not? Tell me.
17:13Camila covers her mouth, smirking. It's obvious. No way that baby is a Brit.
17:18Elaine's lying. The assistant wipes the sweat from his brow and announces loudly,
17:22the baby in Miss Buckley's womb shares a 99.99% genetic match with Mr. Brit.
17:28Ian's gaze darkens. And then he nods once, giving me a chance. Fine. Let's do the DNA test.
17:34I'll make sure you die knowing the truth. Mom, you're amazing. I finally get to see Dad,
17:39getting slapped in the face. Ha ha ha. Don't worry, Mom. I'll teach you how to handle him.
17:45Once he falls for you, you'll have a loyal, clingy puppy. Soon, the chaos from the wedding
17:50spreads like wildfire. Ian's father, Stephen Brit, gets the news and rushes to the scene.
17:54Seeing me having blood drawn by a private doctor, he can't hide the joy in his face.
17:58This is great. I actually get to hold my grandchild before I die.
18:01Ian smirks coldly. Let's see how she walks out of here. Once the truth comes out.
18:06I close my eyes, letting the blood flow. Mom and Dad hover nearby. Terrified I'll drag
18:12the Buckley family down, Aiden's face looks as black as night. His fiancée is having a
18:15DNA test for another man's child at his wedding. Even if the man is Ian, it's a humiliation he
18:20can't swallow. Mom, luckily you didn't marry Aiden. He's scheming how to make your life miserable
18:25after this wedding. Oh God, the blood draw is painful. But I'll put up with it.
18:30For mom's happiness. After I say that, Ian freezes for a fraction of a second. His expression
18:34remains calm, but his eyes reveal his shock. His red-colored birthmark is far below his waist.
18:38It's extremely private. Only someone very close to him knows about it. The other guests exchange
18:42confused glances, clearly not understanding what I mean. Camila, quick on her feet, interrupt.
18:47Elaine, everyone has birthmarks. How can you use something so meaningless as proof that Mr.
18:52Brit is the father? Countless women have tried similar tricks. Over the years, if you really
18:58want to prove the baby's his, why not just do a DNA test? Camila smirks, completely unconvinced that
19:04I could have anything with Ian. After all, a low-profile Buckley daughter like me could never
19:08be linked to one of the most powerful men in Drago. It took Aiden a lot of effort, connections,
19:12and money just to get Ian to show up at this wedding. The crowd starts echoing, yeah, do a DNA
19:17test and
19:18give this woman a slap in the face. Who does she think she is? Trying to attach herself to Mr.
19:23Brit and openly claiming at her wedding that her baby is his? How shameless. Wasn't she so bold?
19:32Let's run the test. Expose her ugly lies and make it impossible for her to stay in Drago.
19:37The soft clack of Ian's prayer beads fills the hall. Each sounds sharp and chilling. It's a warning
19:41that his anger is building. Aiden presses my head down, forcing me to kneel on the floor while
19:45apologizing. I'm sorry, Mr. Brit. She's not in her right mind. Please forgive her this once.
19:50Go on. Apologize to Mr. Brit. Hurry up. Noticing that Aiden doesn't care at all. When I say the
19:55child isn't his, I realize he knows perfectly well that the baby in my belly isn't his. He just wants
20:00to control me so he can openly have an affair with Camila later. Mom, don't worry. Once there's
20:04proof that I'm dad's, he won't ignore us. With the Brit family backing us, anyone who's bullied you
20:11will pay for it. Proof? I laugh bitterly. I don't have any proof. I barely know Ian. Mom lunges forward
20:17and slaps me hard across the face twice. She yells, Apologize to Mr. Brit now. Are you trying
20:23to ruin our family? Ian looks down at me. I feel small, like a helpless insect. That night of
20:28passion seems like a fading illusion. Suddenly, a thought strikes me. I raise my head and say
20:33calmly, Mr. Brit, I saw your red-colored birthmark. Ian suddenly stops. The air goes eerily still. All the
20:40guests in the banquet hall turn to look at me. Not with mockery this time, but like I've lost my
20:44mind.
20:44Camila didn't expect me to drag Ian into this. She grins and leans close to whisper,
20:50Elaine, even if you wanted to aim high, you picked the wrong target. Ian's not someone you can just
20:56latch onto. She's right. Everyone knows Ian avoids women and hates contact with them. The prayer beads
21:01around his wrist are proof of his vow to cut off attachments. The last woman who approached him
21:05with ill intentions ended up with her hands and feet broken. Is she looking to die? I thought she was
21:10just being shameless. But it turns out she's crazy. Anyone who messes with Mr. Brit doesn't end well.
21:16Everyone holds their breath, waiting for Ian to snap. And sure enough, when he turns around,
21:20his lips are pressed tight and his expression is icy. His cold eyes stare at me as if I'm dead.
21:24He rolls the beads between his fingers, murmuring, huh, my baby? Miss Buckley, you've got some guts.
21:31No one in all of Draco has had the nerve to come to me with a pregnant belly, claiming I'm
21:36the father.
21:36I've heard your reputation. Have you sunk so low as to name another man? The father of your baby at
21:42your wedding? Take me with you. Please. Ian's face is hard to make out in the backlight. The next
21:48second, he shoves me hard. He brushes off his suit, as if he had touched something filthy,
21:52and looks at me with disgust. Get lost. Don't you know I don't touch women? Such an actor. Don't
21:57believe him. He's just putting on an act. When he falls for you, he'll be all clingy like a puppy.
22:02Ian turns to leave again, but I grab onto his pant leg, refusing to let him go. Footsteps thunder
22:07behind me. Aiden and the bodyguards rush forward and clamp onto me. Mom and dad watch. Ian's dark
22:12expression in fear. I'm sorry, Mr. Britt. My daughter is not in her right mind. Please forgive
22:17her. We'll pay you. A personal visit to apologize soon. Aiden chimes in, looking humble. Mr. Britt,
22:23I failed to keep an eye on my girlfriend. I'll teach her a lesson when we get back. Please forgive
22:28us.
22:28Meanwhile, Camilla stares at Ian in a daze. This is the man nearly every woman in Draco.
22:32Is obsessed with. Ian doesn't answer. He just looks down at my hand, gripping his pant leg.
22:36Camilla glances at me too. She lifts her heel and stomps hard on the back of my hand.
22:40Elaine, how dare you offend Mr. Britt. Let go. I scream in pain. Ian seizes the moment to pull
22:45his leg free and strides away coldly. His broad back is about to disappear from view. Panicked,
22:50I shout after him. Ian, the baby in my belly is yours. Everyone looks at me with mockery and amusement.
22:56No one respects my choice. For the first time, I snap awake, as if doused with cold water.
23:00I realize how bad my situation is. Camilla and Aiden have been using me as a pawn for
23:04their own gain. Once the ceremony is over, Aiden will find an excuse. He'll lock you in
23:08the basement. The black cars are all waiting at the doors. The moment you step out, you'll
23:12be taken away. Mom, go to my real dad for help. Right, Ian. I look toward Ian, but he's already
23:19standing and walking out with his assistant. Oh no, dad's about to fly off, chasing his lost
23:24love. Ian's my last lifeline. Desperate, I bite down hard on Aiden's hand. He yelps
23:30in pain and releases me. I spin around and dash toward Ian. A bodyguard rushes to stop
23:34me, but I crash into the nearest table, sending the stack of wine glasses flying. My long dress
23:39whips through the chaotic crowd. Guests scream as chaos erupts, but I don't care. I hitch up
23:45my wedding dress and head straight for Ian. His assistant hasn't even reacted yet. Ian turns
23:49at the sound, and I crash straight into his arms. The soft clack of Ian's prayer beads
23:53fills the hall, each sound sharp and chilling. It's a warning that his anger is building.
23:57Aiden presses my head down, forcing me to kneel on the floor while apologizing.
24:01I'm sorry, Mr. Britt. She's not in her right mind. Please forgive her this once. Go on,
24:06apologize to Mr. Britt. Hurry up. Noticing that Aiden doesn't care at all. When I say
24:10the child isn't his, I realize he knows perfectly well that the baby in my belly isn't his.
24:14He just wants to control me so he can openly have an affair with Camilla later. Mom, don't
24:18worry. Once there's proof that I'm dad's, he won't ignore us. With the Britt family backing
24:24us, anyone who's bullied you will pay for it. Proof? I laugh bitterly. I don't have
24:29any proof. I barely know Ian. Mom lunges forward and slaps me hard across the face twice. She
24:35yells, apologize to Mr. Britt now. Are you trying to ruin our family? Ian looks down at me. I feel
24:41small, like a helpless insect. That night of passion seems like a fading illusion. Suddenly,
24:46a thought strikes me. I raise my head and say calmly, Mr. Britt, I saw your red-colored birthmark.
24:57The whispers reach my ears, and I realize just how bad my reputation in Drago has become. But I
25:02used to be the sensible and clever heiress of the Buckley family. Ever since Camilla came into the
25:06house, my standing has been sinking, and even mom, dad, and Aiden have started treating me
25:11differently. Aiden grabs my hand. Ignoring my words, he announces to everyone, Elaine's just a
25:16little upset. Please bear with her. She's agreed to marry me, and I'm happy to make her my wife.
25:21I catch Camilla clenching her fists. I take a deep breath, shake off Aiden's hand, and say firmly,
25:27I'm not marrying you. I know everything about you and Camilla. The baby in her belly. He is yours,
25:34isn't it? The words hit like thunder, detonating through the banquet hall. Way to go, mom. Time
25:40to expose. Those two hypocrites. Camilla has been spreading dirt about you. Your ruined reputation
25:47is all thanks to her. The baby in my belly screams with glee, stirring up chaos like it's his mission.
25:53Camilla steps onto the stage with her pregnant belly and stands beside Aiden. Elaine, what are
25:58you throwing a fit about now? Aiden already agreed to marry you. When she comes closer,
26:03I notice the diamond ring on her hand. It's exactly the same style as my wedding ring. Mine looks like
26:07cheap plastic in comparison. In that instant, everything clicked. The baby in my belly is part of a scheme
26:13she and Aiden have been planning all along. She's just an adopted daughter with no right to marry
26:17into the Miller family. I'm nothing more than a tool to make the union happen for her. Dad stands
26:21up and reprimands me. Elaine, have you not embarrassed us enough? This marriage isn't
26:26something you can just call off. You begged and screamed to marry Aiden before, and now you back
26:31out in front of everyone? Marriage isn't a game. Can't you act half as sensible as Camilla? No matter what,
26:37you will marry Aiden today. The wedding has turned into a farce. Guests whisper among themselves,
26:41eager for the spectacle. Mr. Buckley's real daughter is truly hopeless. She used to pursue
26:47Mr. Miller recklessly. Now that she has him, she wants to back out? Everyone's waiting to see her
26:52get kicked out. The adopted daughter is much more sensible and clever. She married a rich guy
26:56and is living comfortably. Mr. Buckley is so unlucky to have such a worthless biological daughter.
27:03I'm marrying my longtime boyfriend because I'm pregnant. At the wedding, the officiant asks if I'm
27:07willing to marry Aiden Miller. I'm just about to say yes. When a childlike voice appears out of
27:11nowhere. Mom, don't say yes. Aiden isn't my dad. The baby in your sister, Camilla Buckley's belly,
27:16is his. My brain completely crashes at those words. Everyone is waiting for my answer, but I freeze.
27:22The baby I'm carrying isn't Aiden's? Then whose is it? The next second, the little voice speaks again.
27:29Silly mom. That jerk has been cheating for a long time. If you marry him, he'll lock you in a
27:34basement.
27:35Go ask my real dad for help. He's the hottest and richest man sitting down there.
27:39I'm shaken. I can't help but glance at Ian Britt, the ascetic rich air sitting below the stage.
27:43Today is supposed to be my wedding with Aiden. Yet people keep drifting toward him with their eyes.
27:47His looks and presence stand out too much. I glance at him and unexpectedly meet his cold gaze.
27:52I quickly look away, my heart pounding. Baby, do you even know who he is? He's the one and only
27:58CEO of BritCorp. He's never had any woman. How could you be his kid? Even if Aiden is poor,
28:05you can't just make things up and deny your dad. Baby, be realistic. It's too late to switch
28:11fathers at the wedding. Try again in your next life. I comfort the baby. I assume he doesn't
28:16accept Aiden as his father because the ladder is broke. But the little voice screams,
28:20did you forget? That night you woke up in a hotel? Aiden and Camila tricked you there
28:26and tried to offer you to a client. But you walked into the wrong room.
28:29The man beside you that night was Ian. I'm stunned. That man was Ian? I thought it was Aiden.
28:37Memories rushed back. Late at night, red marks traced a bareback as two bodies tangled. Aiden is
28:41still looking at me gently. But what fills my mind now is Ian's sweat and stifled gasps from that
28:46night. He pinned my hands above my head as he demanded more. The untouchable ascetic rich air.
28:49Turns out to be anything but restrained in private. Noticing I don't respond. The
28:52officiant repeats, Miss Elaine Buckley. Do you take Mr. Aiden Miller to be your lawfully
28:56wedded husband? Aiden squeezes my hand. Concern flickering in his eyes. What's wrong
29:00Elaine? Are you still not ready? He rubs my palm gently to reassure me. Don't be afraid.
29:06Once you marry me, I'll give you everything I have to love you. Don't believe him. He bought
29:12a villa right next to your marital home. To raise his kid with Camila. I jolt and shout. No I
29:19do not.
29:19The moment I say that, gasps ripple through the room. The Miller family is well known in
29:23Drago. No one expects me to reject Aiden in public. Especially since I went all out pursuing
29:29him back then. Acting like a total simp without any shame. Everyone says, the Buckley family's
29:33eldest daughter is promiscuous. Now that I'm finally settling down, I'm throwing away. A
29:37perfect marriage handed to me. Aiden's expression darkens. He clearly didn't expect this.
29:42Elaine, stop messing around. This is our wedding. If you're upset with me, we can talk after
29:49it's over. If you wait, it'll be too late. My real dad is about to go overseas to chase
29:54his first love. Mom, time's running out. Dump this jerk. And go get my rich, handsome dad
30:01back. I'm not getting married. I reply firmly. My son wouldn't lie to me. If he says Aiden
30:06is a jerk, then this wedding cannot happen.
