00:00All I did was buy a $5 latte. My husband's secretary reported me for embezzlement.
00:05What they didn't know was that every cent in that company belonged to me.
00:09I agreed. Amber was one of them. Less than 10 days after she joined,
00:12but what truly made me fall for him was an accident.
00:15Ethan stood right up and walked straight over to me.
00:18Victoria would never do something like this!
00:19Suddenly my stomach cramped. Fighting through the pain, I handed over my black card.
00:24Ms. Lane, your card has been frozen.
00:26Cole.
00:26At her words, blood roared in my head.
00:29I called the company's lawyer.
00:30Fire Amber immediately and suspend Ethan from his post as CEO.
00:34All I did was buy a $5 latte.
00:36Yet my husband's secretary reported me for embezzlement.
00:39What they didn't know was that every cent in that company belonged to me.
00:43I bought a latte and put it on my black card.
00:46I just stepped outside.
00:47Ma'am, we've had a report that you've been embezzling company funds.
00:49I was still reeling when my husband's new secretary, Amber, called my phone.
00:54Mrs. Cole, I turned you in.
00:56Ethan works hard and you waste his money.
00:57From now on, every dollar you spend needs my approval.
01:00Also, your monthly limit is $500.
01:03You've already spent $499.
01:04No.
01:05No more money.
01:06I started to laugh.
01:07The girl had been at the company for one month.
01:09Thanking on the fact that my husband had always been courteous to her,
01:12she'd decided she was his household manager.
01:14What she didn't know was that I was the one who founded this company.
01:17I come from the Lane family, worth hundreds of billions.
01:20Every cent in Ethan's bank account is mine.
01:22Who gave her the right to manage my family's money on his behalf?
01:25The officers heard Amber over the phone.
01:27Then they glanced at my screen.
01:29A $5 charge.
01:30Their faces went dark.
01:31They apologized to me gravely and said they'd be sure to report back to my husband's company
01:35that one of its employees had filed a false police report.
01:38Suddenly, my stomach cramped.
01:40My stomach!
01:41It hurts so much!
01:43Please take me to the hospital!
01:46At the hospital, they asked me to pay.
01:49Fighting through the pain, I handed over my black card.
01:51But before long, a nurse came over holding my card.
01:55Ms. Lane, your card has been frozen.
01:57My whole body went cold.
01:59How is that possible?
02:01This card has no spending limit.
02:03How could it be frozen?
02:07Amber.
02:08It has to be Amber.
02:09I quickly called Ethan.
02:10But to my surprise, the voice on the other end was Amber's, impatient.
02:14Nicole, all I did was put a limit on your spending.
02:16And you've already come running to tattle?
02:18Let me tell you, tattling won't get you anywhere.
02:21Ethan authorized this.
02:23I'm at the hospital right now.
02:25I forced down the pain.
02:26I need money.
02:28Unfreeze my card!
02:30Or put Ethan on the phone this instant.
02:32I'll talk to him myself!
02:35Ethan's busy.
02:37He left everything to me.
02:39Need money?
02:40Ask me first.
02:43The card I'm using isn't Ethan's.
02:45You froze my card behind my back?
02:51I will not let this go.
02:54Mrs. Lane, isn't your money just Ethan's money?
02:58You can't bully me and threaten me just because you're Mrs. Cole.
03:01At her words, blood roared in my head.
03:03Before I lost consciousness, I called the company's lawyer.
03:06Fire Amber immediately and suspend Ethan from his post as CEO.
03:11Order Ethan to come to the hospital at once.
03:14A brand new secretary with no one behind her.
03:17I never imagined she'd dare to bully the boss's wife so brazenly.
03:21But what I found hardest to believe was that Ethan, the man who loved me so deeply, could do this.
03:26He'd betrayed me for some little secretary who'd been on the job a single month.
03:29I'm worth hundreds of billions and I'm my parents' only daughter.
03:32I wanted to marry and have children, but I didn't want a marriage of alliance.
03:36What I wanted was a dependable man to help me run the family business.
03:39To find that dependable man, that year I hid my identity and joined the company as an entry-level employee.
03:45And that year, I met Ethan.
03:46Ethan was a Yale graduate.
03:48He came from a poor family, but he was gentle by nature and took every assignment seriously.
03:52A few times, when I worked late into the night, he'd make me a cup of coffee.
03:56In those moments, my heart wouldn't stop racing.
03:58It's not safe to head home this late.
04:00Let me finish your work for you. Go on home.
04:02But what truly made me fall for him was an accident.
04:04A female colleague stole my project and then turned around and accused me of plagiarism.
04:09Ethan stood right up and walked straight over to me.
04:11Victoria would never do something like this.
04:13I'll vouch for her.
04:14If you insist on firing an innocent employee, then I won't stay at a company like this either.
04:18I'm leaving with her.
04:19He threw down his badge, took my hand, and walked me out of the building.
04:22In that moment, I made up my mind.
04:24He was the love of my life.
04:26I threw my arms around him and confessed, bold as anything.
04:30Ethan!
04:31I like you!
04:33Do you like me?
04:35After we married, I chose to step away from the company to focus on trying for a baby,
04:39hoping to give birth to my heir as soon as I could.
04:42The company's affairs were left to Ethan and my lawyer to manage together.
04:45Ethan didn't disappoint me.
04:47He built the company up, step by step, until a month and a half ago,
04:50when he suddenly told me he wanted to recruit a batch of graduates from his alma mater.
04:54I agreed.
04:55Amber was one of them.
04:56Less than ten days after she joined, she'd climbed all the way up to secretary to the CEO.
05:01I heard the office gossip.
05:02Someone on the secretarial team tipped me off.
05:04Victoria, I think Ethan and Amber are getting way too close at work.
05:07They eat together all the time.
05:08They nap together in the president's office.
05:10You need to watch out.
05:11But I'm not the kind of person who interferes with the company over some baseless rumor.
05:14I quietly looked over Amber's resume and sat in on a few meetings she ran.
05:18She was very good at her job.
05:20I admired her.
05:21I even gave her a raise.
05:22But it never crossed my mind that doing so would only feed her ambition.
05:25When I woke up, Ethan still hadn't shown.
05:28The lawyer had stayed at my bedside the whole time, and he filled me in.
05:31Ethan and his secretary went out for a meeting.
05:33He says he won't be back until tomorrow.
05:36I pulled the attendance records for the past two weeks and found the two of them going out for meetings
05:39all the time.
05:40Except every place they go is a resort.
05:43I also asked some of the employees, and they said they often see Amber posting photos on Instagram of her
05:50and Ethan traveling together.
05:53Do you want to see?
05:54He handed me his phone, and on it were countless screenshots of Instagram posts.
05:58In every single one, Amber had carefully laid out a grid of photos.
06:02We looked into Amber's time at university and found she'd already been in contact with Ethan back when she was
06:07a student.
06:08So he'd betrayed me that early.
06:10My heart felt like it was being torn to shreds.
06:12The lawyer handed me a document.
06:14I opened it and sucked in a sharp breath.
06:18Amber?
06:19She's pregnant?
06:22It has to be Ethan's child.
06:25Just take me home for now.
06:27I need to clear my head.
06:31But when I got home, I found my house had been sealed off.
06:34The jewels my parents had given me were packed into boxes, locked up and taken away.
06:38I rushed over and grabbed the people doing it.
06:40What do you think you're doing?
06:41Put my things down!
06:42Their faces were ice cold.
06:44From now on, your jewelry and gowns are managed by Mrs. Ward.
06:48If you need to use any of them, please write a 5,000-word application and submit it through the
06:52internal approval system.
06:54Once Ms. Ward signs off, you may use them.
06:59All I did was buy a $5 latte.
07:02My husband's secretary reported me for embezzlement.
07:04What they didn't know was that every cent in that company belonged to me.

13:57Five years.
13:58I worked three jobs to put William through business school.
14:01Today's his birthday and our fifth wedding anniversary.
14:08What the hell are you doing?
14:11On our anniversary?
14:13You're screwing my best friend?
14:15Wow.
14:15Cheap.
14:16But I guess I should thank you.
14:18You delivered Gina right to me.
14:20Now get the hell out of my house!
14:32Five years.
14:34And I'm down to 38 bucks.
14:41Do it, Elaine.
14:42You've got nothing.
14:44No money.
14:44No home.
14:45You can't even save yourself.
14:48Come on!
14:55Daddy!
14:57Daddy!
15:08It's okay.
15:09Daddy's here.
15:11Daddy!
15:15Daddy!
15:28You saved her.
15:29She...
15:30She needed help.
15:31I couldn't just walk away.
15:32Daddy, I want her.
15:34Good.
15:35You're coming home with us.
15:56Dad, are you done yet?
15:58Almost.
15:58You said that five minutes ago.
16:00I think my scalp just filed for divorce.
16:08Wait, is this actually how you dry your daughter's hair?
16:11Why not?
16:12Strong airflow, fast results.
16:13Let me do it.
16:16Watch.
16:17Use a lower temperature so you don't burn her.
16:32What are you doing?
16:34You still love him?
16:36Of course not.
16:38Then why are you still wearing it?
16:39Trash like that doesn't belong on your hand.
16:56You're not afraid of me?
17:00I should be.
17:01Everyone says you're a monster.
17:03That you feel nothing.
17:05That killing means nothing to you.
17:08And what do you think?
17:09A real monster wouldn't use a vacuum cleaner to dry his daughter's hair.
17:14I can prove it.
17:15Last time he used the leaf blower.
17:18Maya.
17:21Living room.
17:21We need to talk.
17:32You're good with kids.
17:34Have any of your own?
17:35No.
17:36I spent a couple years helping raise my ex-husband's niece.
17:39Guess I picked up a few things.
17:42Divorced.
17:44Walked away with nothing.
17:45Why?
17:47He decided my background didn't match his success anymore.
17:50Then he's a complete idiot.
17:53Take a look.
17:55This is...
17:56Courts next month.
17:57My in-laws are suing for custody.
17:59They want to take Maya away.
18:02They think a mob boss shouldn't be raising a child.
18:09So, you need a wife?
18:11More accurately, Maya needs a mother.
18:15One year.
18:17Marry me for one year.
18:18You'll take care of Maya.
18:20Attend the events that matter.
18:22Help me win custody.
18:25I did my homework.
18:27You're kind, patient, and most importantly...
18:31My daughter likes you.
18:32If I say yes, what exactly are we?
18:35Business partners.
18:37Nothing more.
18:38You take care of Maya.
18:39I protect you.
18:40That's it.
18:41I won't fall in love with you.
18:43Perfect.
18:44Neither will I.
18:50Pleasure doing business.
18:52Likewise.
18:53In return...
18:54$200,000 a month.
18:56Pick any room in the estate.
18:58After one year, we'll divorce.
18:59I'll add another $5 million.
19:00That's way too much!
19:02Take it.
19:03You're marrying the most dangerous man in Chicago.
19:05Consider it hazard pay.
19:07And let's get one thing straight.
19:09The moment you sign that agreement and become my wife,
19:12you're mine.
19:12If anyone lays a hand on what's mine,
19:15I'll teach them exactly what regret feels like.
19:23Daddy, I want her.
19:24Okay.
19:25Good girl.
19:28Mrs. DeLuca, this belonged to the Don's mother.
19:30He's never given it to anyone.
19:41Have it resized.
19:42That's really not necessary.
19:43I'll just be careful.
19:45It is necessary.
19:46I'm not that fragile.
19:47Trust me, I've been treated a lot worse than-
19:49You're the second person who's ever argued with me.
19:51The first was Maya.
20:02Elaine?
20:04Could you...
20:05read me a bedtime story?
20:06Of course.
20:09Come here.
20:11Shh.
20:12Shh.
20:13Shh.
20:14Shh.
20:15Shh.
20:16Shh.
20:17Once upon a time, deep in the forest, there lived a little fox.
20:22And her eyes were as beautiful as amber stars.
20:27Elaine, do you know why I hated all the other women who came here?
20:32Why?
20:34Why?
20:34Because they never played with me.
20:36They only talked to Daddy.
20:39Whenever they looked at me, they were really looking at him.
20:42But you're different.
20:47When you look at me, you actually see me.
20:53If you become my mommy, are you going to leave too?
20:57No.
20:58I won't leave.
21:00Ever-
21:02Then I'm not letting you leave either.
21:04You're my mommy now.
21:14Dawn, this is the first time she's slept this pothly in three years.
21:18Looks like she really likes Elaine.
21:20I know.
21:22Mommy.
21:23Mommy.
21:32Mom, cookies!
21:34I want to bake a hundred today.
21:39Butter has to be soft.
21:41Flour must be sifted.
21:43No lumps.
22:07Mom, our dog Bruno looks like he's sick.
22:11Then I'll eat him.
22:13Oh no!
22:14I think I'm dying too!
22:30Don't move.
22:31Don't move.
22:59Don't move.
23:18Don't move.
23:20Don't move.
23:26I'm not going to eat him.
23:29Don't move.
23:29Don't move.
23:32Don't move.
23:39Don't move.
23:52Don't move.
24:03Don't move.
24:06Don't move.
24:08Don't move.
24:16Don't move.
24:19Don't move.
24:24Don't move.
24:28Don't move.
24:42Don't move.
24:44Don't move.
24:48Don't move.
25:05Don't move.
25:07Don't move.
25:09Don't move.
25:10Don't move.
25:14Come on!
25:22Daddy!
25:34It's okay. Daddy's here.
25:54You saved her.
25:55She... she needed help. I couldn't just walk away.
25:58Daddy, I want her.
26:01Good. You're coming home with us.
26:22Dad, are you done yet?
26:24Almost.
26:25You said that five minutes ago. I think my scalp just filed for divorce.
26:35Wait, is this actually how you dry your daughter's hair?
26:37Why not? Strong airflow, fast results.
26:39Let me do it.
26:42Watch. Use a lower temperature so you don't burn her.
26:59What are you doing?
27:01You still love him?
27:02Of course not.
27:04Then why are you still wearing it? Trash like that doesn't belong on your hand.
27:22You're not afraid of me?
27:26I should be. Everyone says you're a monster.
27:29That you feel nothing.
27:31That killing means nothing to you.
27:34And what do you think?
27:36A real monster wouldn't use a vacuum cleaner to dry his daughter's hair.
27:40I can prove it! Last time he used the leaf blower!
27:45Maya!
27:47Living room. We need to talk.
27:58You're good with kids. Have any of your own?
28:01No.
28:02I spent a couple years helping raise my ex-husband's niece.
28:06Guess I picked up a few things.
28:09Divorced.
28:10Walked away with nothing. Why?
28:13He decided my background didn't match his success anymore.
28:16Then he's a complete idiot.
28:19Take a look.
28:21This is...
28:22Courts next month.
28:24My in-laws are suing for custody.
28:25They want to take Maya away.
28:28They think a mob boss shouldn't be raising a child.
28:35So...
28:35You need a wife?
28:37More accurately.
28:38Maya needs a mother.
28:42One year.
28:43Marry me for one year.
28:45You'll take care of Maya.
28:46Attend the events that matter.
28:48Help me win custody.
28:51I did my homework.
28:53You're kind, patient, and most importantly...
28:57My daughter likes you.
28:58If I say yes...
29:00What exactly are we?
29:02Business partners.
29:03Nothing more.
29:04You take care of Maya.
29:05I protect you.
29:06That's it.
29:07I won't fall in love with you.
29:09Perfect.
29:10Neither will I.
29:16Pleasure doing business.
29:18Likewise.
29:19In return...
29:21Two hundred thousand dollars a month.
29:23Pick any room in the estate.
29:24After one year we'll divorce.
29:25I'll add another five million.
29:26That's way too much.
29:28Take it.
29:29You're marrying the most dangerous man in Chicago.
29:32Consider it hazard pay.
29:33And let's get one thing straight.
29:35The moment you sign that agreement and become my wife,
29:38you're mine.
29:39If anyone lays a hand on what's mine,
29:41I'll teach them exactly what regret feels like.
29:43Okay.
29:49Daddy, I want her.
29:50Okay.
29:51Good girl.
29:54Mrs. DeLuca, this belonged to the Don's mother.
29:57He's never given it to anyone.
30:07Have it resized.
30:08That's really not necessary.
30:09I'll just be careful.
30:11It is necessary.
30:12I'm not that fragile.
30:14Trust me, I've been treated a lot worse than-
30:15You're the second person who's ever argued with me.
30:17The first was Maya.
30:29Elaine, could you read me a bedtime story?
30:33Of course.
30:35Come here.
30:43Once upon a time, deep in the forest, there lived a little fox.
30:48And her eyes were as beautiful as amber stars.
30:54Elaine, do you know why I hated all the other women who came here?
30:58Why?
31:00Because they never played with me.
31:02They only talked to Daddy.
31:05Whenever they looked at me, they were really looking at him.
31:09But you're different.
31:13When you look at me, you actually see me.
31:19If you become my mommy, are you gonna leave too?
31:24No.
31:25I won't leave.
31:26Ever.
31:28Then I'm not letting you leave either.
31:31You're my mommy now.
31:40Don, this is the first time she's slept this pothly in three years.
31:44Looks like she really likes Elaine.
31:46I know.
31:48Mommy.
31:59Mom, cookies!
32:00I want to bake a hundred today.
32:05Butter has to be soft.
32:07Flour must be sifted.
32:09No lumps.
32:33Mom, our dog Bruno looks like he's sick.
32:37Then I'll eat him.
32:39Oh no, I think I'm dying too.
32:57Don't move.
33:10Mom, he just ate a cookie a bit.
33:13He doesn't even eat my leftover fries.
33:16So why does he eat yours?
33:20Because he's hungry.
33:22Really?
33:23Really.
33:24The flour was dry, the butter too rich, but for some reason, it tastes sweet.
33:43Mom, did you really make this?
33:46Yeah.
33:47Do you like it?
33:58Well, well.
33:59Elaine?
34:00Didn't expect to see you here.
34:04Wow.
34:05It really is you.
34:06I thought divorce would have taken you somewhere better than this.
34:10You work here?
34:13Figures.
34:14The DeLuca family is hosting a birthday party today.
34:17I heard they pay their staff well.
34:19Lucky you.
34:20I thought you died in that rainy night.
34:27This is yours?
34:28Poor people really have no taste.
34:33Don't touch it.
34:34Why?
34:35What, does Miss Delanche even like this cheap thing?
34:39You even got the little princess fooled.
34:42What's next?
34:43Planning to sleep your way into the master's bed?
34:46She's my mom!
34:51In the year when I most longed for a handsome face, I found an amnesiac man while gathering
34:55herbs on Silvermoon Mountain.
34:57Taking advantage of his injury and memory loss, I persuaded him to marry me.
35:01He agreed gladly.
35:02On our wedding night, candlelight flickered.
35:05Drunk and bleary-eyed, I looked at him, a faint blush rose on his cheeks.
35:09When he lowered his head to kiss me, raindrops began to fall softly outside the window.
35:13In the second month after the wedding, he suddenly regained his memory.
35:17He said he was the heir of the Bloodmoon family, that his house controlled the Bloodcrystal
35:20Mines, and asked me to go back with him.
35:22I went with him to the capital, but then I overheard a conversation between him and his
35:27mother, and learned the truth.
35:28Three months earlier, while gathering herbs, I passed a stream in the forest and saw a
35:32man lying among the rocks, a hideous sword wound on his back, the water stained red with
35:36blood.
35:37His skin was pale as moonlight, and the silver threads on his rope gleamed coldly in the
35:41sun.
35:41He was more beautiful than all the men I had ever seen put together.
35:45I went up to check his breath.
35:46He was alive, so I carried him home on my back.
35:49I tended him without rest for three days.
35:51I made him a blood-staunching broth, a recipe my mother taught me.
35:55But with the same herbs, mine worked faster than others.
35:58The villagers called me a born healer.
36:00Before she died, my mother also said,
36:03Saren, remember, humans have the prophet's prophecy.
36:08Neither wolf nor vampire dare harm you.
36:12But still be careful of them.
36:14I didn't understand then.
36:15I would later.
36:16On the third morning, he finally woke.
36:18The first words he spoke were,
36:21Where is this?
36:22Who am I?
36:23He had amnesia.
36:24I thought about lying, telling him I was his wife.
36:27After all, with a face like his, it wouldn't be a bad deal to have him as a husband.
36:33But my conscience wouldn't allow it, so I told the truth.
36:36My name is Saren.
36:38This is my home.
36:39You were hurt, and I saved you.
36:42Since you can't remember your name, I'll call you Nyx.
36:45Just rest now.
36:46Names don't matter.
36:47He looked down at his bandage wound and nodded.
36:50The days he spent recovering at my home were unexpectedly lovely.
36:53After he healed a little, he began helping me with chores,
36:56sweeping the yard, mending the fence, drying my herbs.
36:59He could even identify some plants I wasn't sure about.
37:02It smells like, I think I've seen it before.
37:05Watching him sit by the window sorting my herbs made me feel warm inside.
37:08When I changed his bandages, my fingers accidentally brushed the edge of his wound.
37:12It seemed to shrink a little.
37:14I rubbed my eyes, thinking it was just the candlelight.
37:17Then I noticed that wherever I touched, the redness faded unusually fast.
37:21I sat down opposite him, my cheeks warm.
37:24Nyx, shall we get married?
37:26A flash of red light crossed his pupils, then vanished.
37:29Yes.
37:32Overjoyed, I dug out the six gold coins my mother had left me from under the bed.
37:36A simple wedding was enough.
37:38The village priest held the ceremony, and everyone came to the feast.
37:41That night, a little drunk, I looked at him and said,
37:44Marrying you is the luckiest thing.
37:45He cupped my face in his hands, his light-colored eyes reflecting the candle flames.
37:50I feel the same.
37:51When I woke the next morning, I was not tired at all.
37:54Turning to look at him, I saw the edges of the wounds on his back glowing faintly with a pale
37:58green light.
37:59Days passed quickly.
38:00Every day I went up the mountain to gather herbs, then returned to treat patients in the village or town.
38:05He stayed home, repairing the house.
38:07I thought life would go on like that forever.
38:10Until one day, when I came back from gathering herbs, I saw two strangers in black robes standing in my
38:15yard.
38:17Their skin was pale, their pupils reddish, and thin swords hung at their belts.
38:21My heart jumped.
38:22I thought the men who had injured him had come for revenge.
38:24He had already remembered his name, Dorian, and was standing by the little table where we usually ate together.
38:30The black-robed men knelt on one knee facing him.
38:32What's going on?
38:33I walked to Dorian's side and lowered my voice.
38:36Are these people here to cause you trouble?
38:38He looked at me with a complicated emotion in his light-colored eyes that I had never seen before.
38:42Saren, my memory has returned.
38:44His memory had returned.
38:45I thought of the first day we met, the fine silver thread on his robes, the faint ring mark on
38:50his finger, the mark of a family crest worn for years.
38:52He was no ordinary man.
38:54What had he remembered?
38:55Did he already have a wife?
38:57If his family was noble, would they accept me as his wife?
39:00Flustered, I asked.
39:01Then, what will you do now?
39:05Will you come back with me to the capital?
39:08Before, I didn't know who I was, and I couldn't repay you for saving my life.
39:12Now that I remember, come with me, alright?
39:17He remembered where he came from, that he was not yet married, and he said he wanted me as his
39:22wife.
39:22I was more than willing.
39:24Dorian's full name was Dorian Blood Moon.
39:26The Blood Moon family, the wealthiest vampire nobles on the continent, who had controlled the blood crystal mines for generations.
39:32His mother gave birth to him when she was over 400 years old.
39:35He was cherished like a jewel, spoiled since childhood.
39:37During the two months he was missing, the family spent fortunes hiring all manner of forces to find him.
39:43Listening to him tell me this, I felt a little envious.
39:46Your family really loves you.
39:48My mother had loved me very much too.
39:50She had been the best healer in the village, but she died when I was 12.
39:53Before she fell ill, she left me her medicine chest and a pack of seeds.
39:57These are moonshadow flower seeds.
40:00When they bloom you will know who you are.
40:02I always thought it was just her ravings.
40:07Because Dorian hadn't fully healed, we spent several days on the road before reaching the capital.
40:11One night we stopped in the wilderness, moonlight flooded the plains.
40:14Dorian stood under the moon, and from his back unfolded a pair of wings, bat-like, their membranes dark red
40:19in the moonlight.
40:20He reached out his hand to me, and I took it.
40:23He lifted me into the night sky.
40:25The wind roared in my ears as the sun sank below the horizon, darkness fell, and one by one the
40:29stars appeared.
40:30Half a day later, the carriage stopped before a great manor.
40:33Looking at the gate carved with the blood moon crest, I felt a sudden unease.
40:37As soon as the carriage stopped, an elderly woman came out, followed by four servants.
40:42Her eyes filled with tears at the sight of Dorian.
40:44Young lord, you've finally returned.
40:46My lady has nearly wept her eyes out.
40:49How thin you've become.
40:50The crowd surrounded Dorian as he walked inside.
40:52I followed, pushed to the back.
40:55Dorian didn't look back once.
40:57Once inside the manor, Dorian was taken to see his mother.
41:00I was randomly placed in a secluded room and forgotten.
41:03About half an hour later, a servant called me.
41:05Miss, my lady requests your presence at dinner.
41:08I followed him into a hall ten times larger than my home.
41:13On the main seat sat a strikingly beautiful woman who looked barely thirty, vampires aged very slowly.
41:19Mother, this is Seren.
41:20She saved my life.
41:21I stepped forward and greeted her.
41:24Good day, my lady.
41:24Her expression was cold.
41:26Her eyes scanned me from head to toe, like she was appraising a worthless object.
41:30Seren, thank you for saving my son.
41:32This meal is a token of thanks, so please don't stand on ceremony.
41:36Not a family dinner, a thank you.
41:38I looked at Dorian, but he looked away.
41:40Dorian and I were married two months ago.
41:42You needn't thank me.
41:44A flicker of unease crossed Lady Bloodman's face, then she forced a smile.
41:47You jest.
41:48In our clan, marriage requires approval of the family council.
41:52Not to mention that my son had lost his memory, even if he hadn't.
41:56Without the family's consent, the union is invalid.
42:00But he was willing.
42:02Our wedding was witnessed by a priest.
42:04Her false smile finally broke.
42:06Dorian has been betrothed since childhood to the Crimson family, one of the twelve noble bloodlines.
42:13His fiancée is Evangeline Crimson, daughter of the council's chief.
42:18How can a common herb grather like you compare to her?
42:21But we...
42:22I finished.
42:24She lifted a crystal glass, sipped a red liquid, cut me off, and rose to leave.
42:28Dorian glanced at me, hesitated, and chased after her.
42:31I looked at the untouched feast on the table, picked up a metal fork, and began to eat.
42:40In the year when I most longed for a handsome face, I found an amnesiac man while gathering
42:44herbs on Silvermoon Mountain.
42:45Taking advantage of his injury and memory loss, I persuaded him to marry me.
42:49He agreed gladly.
42:51On our wedding night, candlelight flickered.
42:54Drunk and bleary-eyed, I looked at him, a faint blush rose on his cheeks.

46:53Will you come back with me to the capital?
46:57Before, I didn't know who I was, and I couldn't repay you for saving my life.
47:01Now that I remember, come with me, alright?
47:06He remembered where he came from, that he was not yet married, and he said he wanted me as his
47:10wife.
47:11I was more than willing.
47:12Dorian's full name was Dorian Bloodmoon.
47:14The Bloodmoon family, the wealthiest vampire nobles on the continent, who had controlled the blood crystal mines for generations.
47:20His mother gave birth to him when she was over 400 years old.
47:24He was cherished like a jewel, spoiled since childhood.
47:26During the two months he was missing, the family spent fortunes hiring all manner of forces to find him.
47:31Listening to him tell me this, I felt a little envious.
47:35Your family really loves you.
47:36My mother had loved me very much too.
47:39She had been the best healer in the village, but she died when I was 12.
47:42Before she fell ill, she left me her medicine chest and a packet of seeds.
47:46These are moonshadow flower seeds.
47:49When they bloom, you will know who you are.
47:51I always thought it was just her ravings.
47:55Because Dorian hadn't fully healed, we spent several days on the road before reaching the capital.
48:00One night we stopped in the wilderness, moonlight flooded the plains.
48:03Dorian stood under the moon, and from his back unfolded a pair of wings, bat-like, their membranes dark red
48:08in the moonlight.
48:09He reached out his hand to me, and I took it.
48:12He lifted me into the night sky.
48:14The wind roared in my ears as the sun sank below the horizon, darkness fell, and one by one the
48:18stars appeared.
48:19Half a day later, the carriage stopped before a great manor.
48:22Looking at the gate carved with the blood moon crest, I felt a sudden unease.
48:26As soon as the carriage stopped, an elderly woman came out, followed by four servants.
48:30Her eyes filled with tears at the sight of Dorian.
48:33Young lord, you've finally returned.
48:35My lady has nearly wept her eyes out.
48:37How thin you've become.
48:39The crowd surrounded Dorian as he walked inside.
48:41I followed, pushed to the back.
48:44Dorian didn't look back once.
48:46Once inside the manor, Dorian was taken to see his mother.
48:49I was randomly placed in a secluded room and forgotten.
48:52About half an hour later, a servant called me.
48:54Miss, my lady requests your presence at dinner.
48:57I followed him into a hall ten times larger than my home.
49:02On the main seat sat a strikingly beautiful woman who lived barely thirty.
49:05Vampires aged very slowly.
49:07Mother, this is Seren.
49:09She saved my life.
49:10I stepped forward and greeted her.
49:12Good day, my lady.
49:13Her expression was cold.
49:15Her eyes scanned me from head to toe, like she was appraising a worthless object.
49:19Seren, thank you for saving my son.
49:21This meal is a token of thanks, so please don't stand on ceremony.
49:25Not a family dinner, a thank you.
49:27I looked at Dorian, but he looked away.
49:29Dorian and I were married two months ago.
49:31You needn't thank me.
49:32A flicker of unease crossed Lady Bloodman's face, then she forced a smile.
49:36You jest.
49:37In our clan, marriage requires approval of the family council.
49:40Not to mention that my son had lost his memory even if he hadn't.
49:44Without the family's consent, the union is invalid.
49:49But he was willing.
49:50Our wedding was witnessed by a priest.
49:53Her false smile finally broke.
49:55Dorian has been betrothed since childhood to the Crimson family, one of the twelve noble bloodlines.
50:02His fiancée is Evangeline Crimson, daughter of the council's chief.
50:07How can a common herb grather like you compare to her?
50:10But we...
50:11I've finished.
50:12She lifted a crystal glass, sipped a red liquid, cut me off, and rose to leave.
50:17Dorian glanced at me, hesitated, and chased after her.
50:20I looked at the untouched feast on the table, picked up a metal fork, and began to eat.
