Short filmTranscript
00:09To be continued...
00:30I'm both your daughter, but Elena gets to marry Kyle Vouse and live like a princess, and I'm stuck with
00:36a coma patient. I'd rather die.
00:38Baby girl, you know we had no choice. I specifically asked for Elena. The family alliance is already set. If
00:43we back out now, Bennett Group is finished.
00:45Relax, father. She's not going to jump.
00:48Elena, your sister is about to kill herself, and you're standing there making jokes? Do you even have a heart?
00:53I'll do it. I'll marry the cripple, but it's going to cost you 30% of Bennett Group shares.
00:58She thrilled, rushing toward me.
01:01Elena, are you serious? You'd really switch with me?
01:06Well, well. Look at you finally acting like a real big sister.
01:09Deal, Elena. If you marry into the Hale family for Olivia, I'll give you $1 billion as your wedding gift.
01:14Thanks for the generosity, father. Sacrificing so much just to keep your precious bastard daughter happy.
01:22Elena, you're seriously giving up the Vos fortune to babysit some brain-dead guy? You've been with Kai for five
01:26years. Why throw it away now?
01:28Everyone saw the perfect couple. The heiress and the billionaire heir. But it was all a lie.
01:36Fine. But one condition. This swap stays between us. No one finds out. Especially not Kai.
01:42Behind me, I heard them hug each other, overjoyed. In a corner nobody noticed. A drone hovered in the air.
01:49I didn't see it.
01:50I didn't know that somewhere in this city, a man in a surveillance room was watching my face on a
01:55massive screen. And he found me interesting.
02:01I stood alone in front of my mother's headstone. Mom, I'm getting married. Just like you, to someone I don't
02:07love. But I have no regrets.
02:10I pulled a photo from my bag. Me and Kai cuddled together. Sweet and close. I stared at it for
02:15a long moment. Five years ago, mom died. Dad moved Margaret and Olivia in before her body was even cold.
02:22I became the heir on paper. But that's all it ever was.
02:25Elena, I'm the lady of this house now. Your mother is dead. Get rid of this garbage. It's bad luck.
02:34Olivia had stood to the side. Chin lifted. Smug. Then I met Kai. He made me feel special. He helped
02:40me stand tall again. Five years. I thought we were building a life together. I thought he loved me.
02:45Until the night I walked into the room, he never let anyone enter. I pushed the door open and froze.
02:51Oil portraits of Olivia covered every wall.
02:53In the center, the largest painting. On it, in careful script. Love of my life. Olivia? Kai's in love with
03:00Olivia? Then why did he ask me to marry him?
03:03Was the last five years just a lie?
03:05Sir, this way. Yes, sir.
03:07Voices approaching. I spun and slipped behind a cabinet. Kai walked in with his assistant, Luca.
03:12Sir, if you're in love with Olivia, why are you marrying Elena?
03:15Kai stepped closer to Olivia's portrait. Touched it gently.
03:18Because I'm the Vos heir. I have enemies everywhere. I can never put my precious Olivia in danger.
03:23Behind the cabinet, I slowly sank to the floor. So that's it. I remembered a bullet cracking through a car
03:28window.
03:29Kai throwing himself instinctively. And then me shoving him aside. Taking the hit myself.
03:34The bullet had grazed my arm and left a bloody streak. I had done it without thinking.
03:38I'm marrying Elena so she takes the bullets meant for Olivia. If I didn't have to protect Olivia, I wouldn't
03:43marry anyone.
03:44I rubbed the scar on my arm. Tears slid down in silence. Five years of love. And I was just
03:50a human shield.
03:51Back at the cemetery, I flicked open a lighter and set the photo on fire.
03:54When I looked at my mother's headstone again, my eyes were steady.
03:58I'm taking back Bennett Group, Mom. Every share. Every dollar. I'm done being anyone's pawn.
04:06My phone rang. I pulled it from my pocket. Caller ID. Kai.
04:11Babe, I've been thinking about you all day. When are you coming home?
04:14I'm at my mom's grave. I'll be back later.
04:16When I stepped into the villa that evening, the heavy scent hit me before I even registered the roses piled
04:21on the coffee table.
04:22I sneezed. Kai rushed over at the noise.
04:25Babe, what's wrong?
04:27Why are there roses in the house?
04:29I got them for you. I wanted to surprise you. Do you like them?
04:33Olivia likes roses. I'm allergic.
04:36We've been together for five years, Kai. How do you not know that?
04:41Elena, you're back.
04:42The voice came from the stairs. My patience ran out in an instant.
04:47Olivia, what are you doing in my house? And why the hell are you wearing my nightgown?
04:54Elena, you're back.
05:01Olivia, what are you doing in my house? And why the hell are you wearing my nightgown?
05:07Elena, you've got it all wrong. Kai and I went out for coffee and I spilled something all over myself.
05:12He let me come here to shower and change.
05:16Elena, come on. She's your sister. Can you act like an adult instead of attacking her?
05:22Elena, I swear. Nothing happened between me and Kai.
05:28I don't like people touching my things. Once someone else uses them, they feel dirty.
05:34Elena, wait. Don't be like this. I was just trying to help her out.
05:37I'm tired, Kai. I'm going to bed. And when I wake up, I don't want to see Olivia's face in
05:41this house.
05:42What I didn't know was what happened after I left the room.
05:45Kai, Elena's always looked down on me. I'm used to it.
05:49But... I'm sorry. I feel bad dragging you into this mess.
05:53Elena grew up rich. She's never had to struggle for anything. That's why she's spoiled.
05:58Elena's going to that fancy charity gala tomorrow. I've never been to something like that.
06:02Kai, will you take me?
06:03Of course.
06:04The charity gala was everything it was supposed to be.
06:07Socialites, champagne, voices kept just below a polished roar.
06:12Miss Elena, I heard you're about to marry the Voss heir. Congratulations.
06:16But where is Mr. Voss? Why isn't he with you?
06:19Please welcome the Honorable Kai Vincent Voss.
06:23Heads turned toward the entrance.
06:25Kai walked in with Olivia on his arm.
06:31The room buzzed. My face fell.
06:33Wait, isn't Mr. Voss engaged to Miss Elena? Why's he got another woman on his arm?
06:37I took two small steps back.
06:40Elena! Oh my gosh! Please don't be upset! I've never been to something like this before!
06:44I begged Kai to bring me. It's my fault!
06:47Babe, come on. Don't be mad.
06:48Tell you what, pick out any jewelry you want tonight. My treat, okay?
06:54Your eyes have been on Olivia the entire time, and I was stupid enough to believe your lies for five
07:00years.
07:00The host stepped onto the stage. Attendance brought out trays of priceless jewelry.
07:06I sat in the audience, uninterested, until a blue sapphire necklace caught the light.
07:11Oh my god, that's mom's necklace! I have to get it back.
07:16$300,000!
07:17Olivia raised hers. A slow, provocative look.
07:21$500,000.
07:23$700,000!
07:24Olivia turned to Kai with wet, trembling eyes.
07:27Kai, Elena has so much jewelry. I don't even have anything nice to wear.
07:32I love this necklace so much. Why is she trying to take it from me?
07:36Don't worry. I got this.
07:38He raised his paddle.
07:39$3 million.
07:41I watched him.
07:43Kai, please, don't let me down again.
07:46Just this once. Be on my side.
07:49The gavel came down.
07:51The host walked the tray to Kai.
07:53Sold! Galaxy's Tears!
07:55To Mr. Kai Vincentette Voss.
07:57I assume this symbol of eternal love is a wedding gift for your beautiful fiancée, Ms. Elena?
08:01Kai took the necklace from the tray.
08:05He walked toward Olivia and me.
08:10Under everyone's expectant gaze, he turned toward Olivia.
08:14The room erupted.
08:16Did Mr. Vosschuk just give his fiancée's necklace to another woman?
08:19That's Ms. Elena's stepsister, Olivia.
08:21That's enough! My personal life is none of your business!
08:24Elena, it's just a necklace. You're the older sister. Can't you be the bigger person?
08:28I'll get you every other piece tonight. Happy?
08:30People looked at me. Envy. Sympathy.
08:33Kai, that necklace is the only thing I wanted.
08:36I couldn't take it anymore. I found a spot alone in the garden.
08:39I'm sorry, Mom. I couldn't protect your necklace.
08:44Well, Elena, you can't keep your man. You can't even keep a necklace.
08:48All you do is run away and cry like a little girl. Pathetic.
08:52So this was your dead mom's? That's really sad.
08:55Tell you what. Kneel down and bark like a dog. If I'm in a good mood, I might give it
08:58to you.
08:59You and your mother are the same, stealing things that were never yours.
09:02You'll always be a bastard child, Olivia. And your mom? Just a homewrecker who slept her way into my house.
09:08Kai, help! Elena, why are you pushing me?
09:11I didn't even have time to react.
09:14Olivia yanked me, and we fell together into the pool.
09:18Kai sprinted over, shouting,
09:20Elena! Olivia!
09:23Olivia and I were both in the water, screaming for help.
09:26Help! Somebody help! Kai, I can't swim!
09:29Olivia reached him first, clutching his arm.
09:32Kai, please. My leg's cramping. If you don't get me out, I'll die.
09:36He wrapped his arm around her waist and swam her to the edge.
09:39I watched them reach the side.
09:42Kai, don't leave me. Please.
09:45Elena, hang on. I'll come right back for you.
09:47He scooped Olivia up and carried her away.
09:49Olivia shot me a smug look over his shoulder.
09:52I knew what that look meant.
09:54She'd won this round, but I wasn't done.
09:56I can't. I can't die like this.
09:58A loud splash.
09:59Just as I was about to close my eyes,
10:02another figure hit the water.
10:03A man in a mask, diving straight toward me.
10:06Kai, is that you?
10:07My eyes snapped open.
10:09I shoved at him.
10:10He held me tighter as we rose together toward the surface.
10:13He gripped the back of my head and kissed me, hard.
10:17I shoved him away the moment we broke the surface
10:19and slapped him across the face.
10:20What the hell do you think you're doing?
10:22Get your hands off me, you creep!
10:23He touched his cheek.
10:25Instead of getting angry, he smiled.
10:27His eyes dropped briefly and he raised a brow.
10:29Miss, I was saving you.
10:30Ever heard of CPR?
10:32Let go of me!
10:34He deliberately released the arm around my waist.
10:36As you wish.
10:36I immediately started to sink.
10:38I panicked and threw my arms around his neck.
10:40He pulled me back in by the waist and laughed openly.
10:43Sweetheart, this time you grabbed me.
10:46Jerk!
10:47Once we're out of this pool, I'm gonna kick your ass!
10:49He swam me to the edge and helped me up.
10:51I was soaked through, shivering, hugging myself.
10:54He picked up a suit jacket from poolside and draped it over my shoulders.
10:58I looked up at him and noticed a vicious scar across his exposed chest.
11:02Who are you?
11:03I reached for his mask.
11:06He blew me a kiss and walked away.
11:08You'll know when the time is right.
11:10See you around, Miss Bennett.
11:12Wait!
11:13Miss Bennett!
11:14A bodyguard rushed up behind me and stopped me.
11:17Miss Bennett, Mr. Voss sent me.
11:19He asked me to take you home.
11:20Expensive jewelry was piled all over the bedroom.
11:23Kai looked at me when I walked in, full of guilt.
11:25Elena, I'm sorry.
11:28I wasn't abandoning you.
11:29Olivia's leg cramped.
11:30It was an emergency.
11:31I had to get her out first.
11:33I know I messed up.
11:34He stepped closer and took my hand.
11:36But I can make it up to you.
11:37Once we're married, you'll be the lady of the Voss Empire.
11:39Anything you want, it's yours.
11:40I stared at him.
11:42The warmth was gone from my eyes.
11:44You can give me everything, Kai.
11:46Everything.
11:47Except the one thing that matters.
11:49Your heart.
11:49He leaned in to kiss me.
11:51I turned my head and avoided it.
11:53I'm exhausted.
11:54I need to sleep.
11:55Of course.
11:56Get some rest.
11:57Tomorrow we'll go pick out your wedding dress together.
12:00You're going to be the most stunning bride anyone's ever seen.
12:05I walked into the bridal boutique the next morning.
12:08Good morning, Ms. Bennett.
12:10These are our designer's newest runway pieces.
12:13Anything catch your eye?
12:14I flipped two pages.
12:17They're nice.
12:18But I'm here for my custom order.
12:20Can you bring it out?
12:21I'm really sorry, Ms. Bennett.
12:23Your dress was taken.
12:24I paid the deposit.
12:26Who took it?
12:27Before the associate could answer, Olivia stepped out of the fitting room, wearing my custom gown.
12:33Smug.
12:33Radiant.
12:34Fully aware of exactly what she was doing.
12:36Oh my god, Elena.
12:38Your taste is amazing.
12:40This dress fits me perfectly.
12:41I'm going to look so good walking down the aisle to Kai in this.
12:46Let's be real.
12:47You're marrying some brain-dead cripple who can't even wipe his own ass.
12:51A dress like this on you would be a total waste.
12:53My face went gold.
12:54I slapped Olivia's hand.
12:55The associate jumped back.
12:57Hand over her mouth.
12:58You hit me?
12:59Yeah, I did.
13:00Want me to do it again?
13:01Keep pushing me, Olivia.
13:02See what happens.
13:03What are you going to do?
13:04You're just an heir in name.
13:06Kai is coming.
13:07And when he sees what you did to me, you're done.
13:10You still don't get it, do you?
13:12I'm taking everything from you.
13:14We grappled.
13:15And then my eyes caught it in the mirror.
13:17A red infrared dot sliding across our bodies on my chest.
13:21Get down!
13:23I yanked Olivia down as a bullet ripped through the glass.
13:28The boutique erupted.
13:30Kai charged in with two bodyguards.
13:32Olivia lifted her arm, gashed by shattered mirror glass.
13:35Pitiful.
13:36Perfectly timed.
13:37Kai, thank God you're here.
13:39I was so scared.
13:41Kai locked down the boutique, found Olivia's injury, hauled her up, and pulled her into his arms.
13:46You're bleeding.
13:48Don't worry.
13:49I'm getting you to the hospital right now.
13:51He carried her out without sparing me even a glance.
13:55One of the bodyguards noticed blood on my palm.
13:57Mrs. Bennett, your hand is bleeding back.
14:00It's fine.
14:01I'll go to the hospital myself.
14:02Kai, watching you obsess over her just reminds me how stupid I was.
14:07We're done.
14:09Two hospital beds, two sisters.
14:11Theodore and Margaret hovering over Olivia, carefully checking the cut on her arm.
14:16Thank God you're okay, sweetheart.
14:18They're saying it was a hitman targeting the Vos family.
14:21If the Vos family weren't so powerful, I'd never let you marry into this mess.
14:25It's too dangerous, honey.
14:27Mom, it's okay.
14:29Kai will protect me.
14:30And if I'm going to be the lady of the Vos Empire someday, I need to toughen up.
14:34I can handle it.
14:35I lay on the other bed and watched their warm little moment.
14:38I quietly lowered my head.
14:40After Mom left, I've been an orphan for a long time.
14:43She's watching over me.
14:45I have to stay strong.
14:47For her.
14:47Olivia got out of bed and walked over, expression full of careful concern.
14:52Hey, thank you for spotting that sniper today.
14:55I heard you got hurt pretty bad too.
14:57She took my bandaged hand and her nails dug in.
15:00Blood seeped through the gauze.
15:01Does it still hurt?
15:02I cried out and jerked my hand free.
15:04Olivia stumbled backward into the bedside table.
15:07Hot soup from a thermos spilled all over her.
15:09Elena, you bitch!
15:11Olivia!
15:12Kai rushed in and stopped her.
15:13He helped Olivia up, then turned to me.
15:16What happened?
15:18I was just trying to check on Elena's hand and she just pushed me.
15:22I don't know why she hates me so much.
15:24Margaret cut in before I could speak.
15:26We all saw what happened.
15:27You pushed your sister and burned her.
15:30And now you're trying to lie about it?
15:32Kai's face went cold.
15:34Elena, apologize to Olivia.
15:36Now.
15:36I sat up, looked at Kai, looked at Olivia's smug face.
15:40Fine.
15:40I raised my hand and slapped Olivia hard.
15:45There.
15:46That's my apology.
15:49Elena, are you crazy?
15:51Isn't this what you wanted?
15:53What the hell is wrong with you?
15:55Olivia is your sister!
15:57Shut up.
15:58My mother was my only family.
16:01I shot Kai a hard look and stormed out.
16:04I didn't make it far.
16:05Two men crept up behind me on the roadside.
16:08One threw a sack over my head.
16:10A car pulled up.
16:11They forced me in.
16:12The car sped off.
16:15The forest smelled cold and damp.
16:18They pulled the sack off my head.
16:20I was tied to a tree.
16:22Let's talk.
16:24Do you want money?
16:25I can get you money.
16:27Name your price.
16:28Just don't hurt me.
16:30The thugs exchanged grins.
16:32The knife came out, pressed on my cheek.
16:34Sweetheart, we already got paid.
16:35More than enough.
16:37He pulled the knife back, licked the blade.
16:41Miss Bennett, you pissed off the wrong person.
16:44Now you're going to learn what happens when you step out of line.
16:47Let go of me!
16:48Touch me and I swear to God you'll regret it!
16:54They swarmed in, tearing at the front of my clothes.
16:56I forced myself to keep looking.
16:59A snake tattoo on the man's arm.
17:01I went still.
17:02That's the Voss family, Mark.
17:04These men, they work for Kai.
17:07I found out later what Kai was doing while they had me.
17:10Parked on the forest road, smoking.
17:12Asking Luca if I'd begged yet.
17:15Miss Bennett's tougher than expected.
17:17She won't beg.
17:19But the men know the limits.
17:21They won't go too far.
17:22Good.
17:22Then tell them to keep going.
17:23Once she's my wife, she needs to learn her place now.
17:26But at that moment, all I knew was the bruises covering my arms.
17:30When they finally released me,
17:31I stood in the middle of Kai's secret room.
17:34Kai had me kidnapped and beaten.
17:38Just because I slapped his precious Olivia.
17:41Five years together, and I still can't compare to her?
17:45When did it start, Kai?
17:47I walked to the giant painting in the center
17:49and yanked off the white gauze covering it.
17:52I remembered it now, five years ago, backstage.
17:55Elena, please!
17:56I'm performing in five minutes, but I can't play piano at all.
17:58Can you go on for me?
18:00I put on the mask and walked onto the stage.
18:02I played.
18:03The piece ended.
18:04The crowd erupted.
18:05In the last row, Kai watched the stage.
18:09That girl, what's her name?
18:11That's Olivia Bennett, the younger Bennett daughter.
18:13She's a freshman.
18:15Kai, your one true love was a lie from the start.
18:18But you made your choice.
18:19So go ahead.
18:20Have her.
18:21The day came.
18:23Olivia and I stood in wedding dresses in Theodore's front room,
18:26about to be sent off.
18:28Don't forget, you promised to marry that Hale crip for me.
18:33No backing out now.
18:37Of course.
18:38A deal's a deal.
18:39But where are the shares and the billion dollars you promised?
18:43Just because you hold some shares doesn't mean you have any real power.
18:46You belong to the Hale family now.
18:49Stay in your lane.
18:51Mom, who cares?
18:52I'm about to become queen of the Vos Empire.
18:55The cars were ready.
18:59Now no one will be able to tell you apart.
19:02I stepped up to the Hale car and opened the door without hesitation.
19:06No looking back.
19:11Elena.
19:13Today is a fresh start.
19:14I promise, I'm going to make you the happiest woman in the world.
19:19Through my veil, something cold passed over Kai's face.
19:24But Olivia shifted her body, blocking his line of sight.
19:28The two cars separated.
19:29Inside mine, I pulled out the SIM card and tossed it out the window.
19:33Kai, farewell.
19:35In the church, I heard later, Kai stood with Olivia before the cross.
19:41Elena, I...
19:42He lifted her veil, full of excitement.
19:45Olivia?
19:46What the hell are you doing here?
19:49I wasn't there, but I found out later what happened.
19:52Ah!
19:54No!
19:55Kai, I'm your wife now!
19:57You can't just leave me!
20:00Get the car ready.
20:01I'm going to the Hale estate to bring Elena back.
20:05Kai, please!
20:06I love you!
20:07That's why I agreed to this switch with Elena.
20:09I know you love me too!
20:10This whole thing is a mistake.
20:11I need to fix it before it's too late.
20:13Ah!
20:17If you walk out that door tonight, tomorrow you'll find my body!
20:21Olivia!
20:21Stop!
20:22What are you doing?
20:25Elena got scared after that shooting.
20:27She didn't want to marry you.
20:28The boss name is too dangerous.
20:29Dad even gave her a billion dollars to convince her.
20:31And what did she do?
20:32Took the money and ditched you!
20:35Check Elena's bank account.
20:36Recent deposits.
20:37Sir, Ms. Elena's account received a billion dollar deposit recently.
20:39Elena, how could you lie to me?
20:42Kai, don't be sad.
20:43You still have me.
20:44No matter what happens, I'll always be here.
20:47I'll never leave you.
20:48Kai held her.
20:49But all he could think about, I heard later, was me.
20:54Hale Villa was enormous and oppressive.
20:57Black and gray tones dominated everything.
21:00No warmth anywhere.
21:01I stood in the entrance hall in my wedding gown and looked around.
21:06Hello?
21:07Is anyone here?
21:08Mrs. Hale!
21:09Jesus!
21:10Where did you come from?
21:11My apologies.
21:12I'm Nathaniel, Mr. Hale's assistant.
21:14Welcome.
21:15Please follow me.
21:16Nathaniel guided me into the elevator.
21:18It stopped on the third floor.
21:22The third floor and above are your living quarters.
21:25You're not to go anywhere else in the house without permission.
21:27You'll also be responsible for Mr. Hale's daily care.
21:29Starting now.
21:30It's time for his bath.
21:31I'm sorry, did I marry a husband or sign up to be a nurse?
21:34Please.
21:38Alistair lay on the bed in a dark blue silk robe, eyes closed, motionless.
21:43Look, Nathaniel, I don't think my husband and I are quite at the fully naked stage yet.
21:47Maybe you could just...
21:48The door slammed shut behind me.
21:52Great!
21:53Fine!
21:54Just so you know, the only thing I've ever bathed is a dog!
21:57I walked to his bedside and leaned over, studying him.
22:00I have to admit, you're pretty hot, and your body's not bad either.
22:05I reached out.
22:06My palm slowly slid from his chest.
22:09Then I kicked off my heels, removed the veil, and slowly slipped out of my wedding gown.
22:13What I didn't know, on the bed, Alistair secretly opened one eye.
22:17Alright, let's just get this over with.
22:19Come on, husband.
22:20I grabbed Alistair by the thigh and dragged him straight off the bed.
22:23His head slammed heavily against the floor.
22:30Humming to myself, I dragged him all the way into the bathroom and hoisted him into the bathtub.
22:37After filling the tub with water, I was already panting from the effort.
22:41For a guy who's supposedly bedridden, you weigh as much as a refrigerator.
22:45I stepped under the shower head, turned it on, and rinsed off the sweat.
22:53Do I?
22:54I froze.
22:55My head snapped toward the bathroom doorway.
22:57Who said that?
22:58I stepped back.
22:59My foot slipped on the wet floor.
23:01Alistair reached out, wrapped an arm around my waist, and pulled me into the bathtub.
23:08I opened my eyes and stared at him in shock.
23:12You're not brain dead?
23:13I tried to cover myself.
23:15He gripped my wrist.
23:17Welcome home, my beautiful bride.
23:19I struggled, and then my gaze locked onto his chest.
23:22The scar.
23:23The pool.
23:24The mask.
23:25The man who had kissed me.
23:26It was you?
23:29That's right.
23:29It was you.
23:30I yanked open his robe and pointed at the scar.
23:33At the charity gala?
23:35You were the one who took advantage of me in the swimming pool.
23:38Alistair curled his lips slightly.
23:40I'm afraid you got the wrong person.
23:41My body has only just recovered.
23:43I haven't been to any charity gala.
23:45He gripped my wrist and pulled me closer.
23:46But you, Elena.
23:48For someone with such a pristine reputation, you're being pretty forward.
23:51We just met, and you're throwing yourself at me in the bathtub.
23:55He took my hand and removed his robe completely.
23:57Guided my hand slowly across his chest, moving downward.
24:00What's the rush, Mrs. Howell?
24:02Can't keep your hands off me already?
24:03I clenched my teeth.
24:04Took a deep breath.
24:05So that's his game.
24:06He thinks I'll chicken out.
24:07Wrong move, Mr. Hale.
24:08I shook off his hand and reached downward, deliberately, suggesting I took hold of something that made him pause.
24:13His expression stiffened.
24:14Jesus, Elena.
24:16You're really direct.
24:20What's wrong?
24:22Isn't this what you wanted?
24:23I never turn away a man that walks straight into my hands.
24:26But unfortunately, you're not my type.
24:30I straightened up and walked away.
24:32In the hallway, I leaned against the wall.
24:34It was him.
24:35The man who pulled me out of that pool.
24:36But why is he pretending he doesn't know me?
24:39My gaze turned cold.
24:40The Hale family is even more dangerous than I thought.
24:43Even worse than the Voss family.
24:44If I want to survive here, I need to stay sharp.
24:47Tonight, Daniel handed Alistair a cup of coffee in the living room.
24:50And I caught the end of their conversation as I came downstairs.
24:54Sir, you went through all this trouble to marry Miss Bennett.
24:57Why don't you just tell her how you truly feel?
24:59It's simple.
25:01Take this cup, for example.
25:03If I want to fill it with milk, I have to pour out the coffee first.
25:06Same logic.
25:07If I want her heart, I need to clear out the trash that's already in it.
25:11He stood and picked up a crossbow from a nearby display rack.
25:15But you did remind me of something.
25:17It's time Elena sees who I really am.
25:19I've been asleep long enough.
25:21Time to wake up and remind everyone I'm still here.
25:25I pressed myself back against the wall and pretended I hadn't heard a thing.
25:30Sunlight streamed through the window.
25:32I lay in the massive bed.
25:34Rolled over.
25:35Eyes fluttered open.
25:37Huh.
25:38First night in this creepy mansion.
25:40And I actually slept through it?
25:42That's unexpected.
25:43Can't remember the last time I slept that well.
25:45The phone on the bedside table rang.
25:48I answered.
25:50Nathaniel, morning Mrs. Hale.
25:52When you're ready, please come outside.
25:54The Hale is waiting for you on the lawn.
25:56Hmm.
25:59Great.
26:00Looks like trouble is waiting for me.
26:01The moment I stepped onto the lawn, an arrow sliced through the air and flew past my ear.
26:07In the distance, Alistair removed his sunglasses and smiled.
26:11Morning, my beautiful wife.
26:12My fists clenched.
26:14Great.
26:15I married a psychopath.
26:16I married a psychopath.
