I gave you ten years of my life! I helped you stand.

I put the Smith Group in your hands.

I gave you everything!

And you took Chloe from me.

I didn't kill her!

All the evidence led to you.

The evidence was planted!

And what about Alice?

I found her body in the underground medical room.

There were needle marks all over her arm. Don't say her name!

Someone inside the Smith family did this.

Chloe's death, Alice's death, they're connected!

Enough!

This is what you owe Chloe, Evelyn.

After everything I did for you, you still don't believe me?

Adrian!

First, Chloe died.

Then I found Alice hidden beneath the Smith house.

Before I could uncover the truth Adrian made sure I would die with it

If

I could live

this life again I would never

choose you

Ten years ago.

Evelyn.

Chloe.

It's time to choose.

I really came back.

This time, I will not choose the man who burned me.

The Morgan-Smith alliance requires two marriages.

Evelyn and Chloe will each choose one Smith heir tonight.

Adrian Smith or Alice Smith.

Go ahead, sister.

You're the eldest.

Father always trusts your judgment first.

Evelyn, what's wrong?

No, Chloe.

This time, you choose first.

He remembers, too.

Still undecided, Chloe?

Then I will choose.

Alice, come with me. Evelyn!

Why me?

There is no reason.

I choose you.

Evelyn, are you sure about this?

I am.

Evelyn! Do you even know what you are doing?

Of course.

I am choosing my wife.

Then it is settled.

Evelyn Morgan will marry Alice Smith.

This time, the fire won't burn me.

Miss Smith, please review the prenuptial terms.

You wrote this?

I did.

Why?

Because you are a person, Alice, not a piece of property.

If there is anything in there that makes you uncomfortable, we can change it

right now.

Congratulations, you are officially registered.

We need a photo for the official file.

Stand closer, please.

Only if you want to.

She's mine!

You think you can escape me, Evelyn?

You built me.

You belong to me.

Let's go home, Alice.

Let me take that for you, Mrs. Smith.

It's fine.

Let her carry it.

Are you worried I'll run away?

I'm worried you'll trip if you get up in the dark.

Wait here.

Can I help with that?

Why? It will stop the stinging.

If it makes you uncomfortable, I'll leave.

Okay.

Did that hurt?

No. Why aren't you asking?

Ask what?

Where I got these.

Who did it.

When you want to tell me, I'll listen.

Until then, you don't owe me an explanation.

Do I look ridiculous?

You look beautiful, Alice.

Ready?

Evelyn! And Alice!

Wow, I almost didn't recognize you. You've cleaned her up so well, sister.

She didn't need cleaning up, Chloe.

True elegance isn't something you can wash off.

Of course.

It's just, we're all family here, and I worry.

We all know how unstable Alice was back at the Smith house.

Didn't she violently attack someone?

A maid, was it?

With a broken glass?

A violent lunatic?

She brought a mad woman to the Morgan Gala?

Say that again.

Chloe's right, Evelyn.

You're playing with fire.

You think you're saving a victim, but you don't know what she really is.

She's dangerous.

She's a monster.

Alice isn't the dangerous one.

The dangerous ones are the monsters who break a helpless girl first, lock her in

the dark, and then point at her scars to call her crazy.

If anyone in this room should be feared, it's the ones who inflict the wounds,

not the survivor who carries them.

Are you tired?

Let's get some air.

You aren't afraid of me?

No, never.

They're right, you know, about the maid. I did hurt someone. I broke a glass and

I cut her. I have that darkness in me, Evelyn. To defend yourself.

Because they pushed you to the edge.

Everyone calls me a monster, Evelyn. Every single person in my life since I

was a child.

Eventually, you start to believe them.

Then stop listening to them.

Listen to me.

You are not a monster, Alice.

Patient. Alice Smith, Subject B, receiver code AS01.

Subject B, Alice, has been designated as Adrian Smith's primary biological

reserve.

Monsters.

They treated her like cattle.

Evelyn, it's late.

Sophia, I need you at the manor tomorrow morning. First thing, bring your full

medical kit.

Is everything okay? Did something happen to Alice?

No, and Sophia...

We need to do this very, very carefully.

I need a full, discreet examination of her body. Every scar, every old injury.

Evelyn, what did you find?

I found out what they did to her.

And I am going to make sure they pay for every single drop of blood they took.

Alice, it's okay. I'm just... Alice.

Look at me.

No one is going to force you.

No one is touching you. If you say stop, we stop.

Right now.

Okay?

You promise?

I promise.

How do you feel? Do you want to take a break?

Physically, she's severely malnourished.

Her immune system is compromised from years of high cortisol and whatever

drugs they pumped into her.

And psychologically?

She's in a constant state of survival.

She doesn't fight back because she's been trained.

To believe it only makes the pain worse.

Do not push her, Evelyn.

Any pressure could break what little trust she has left.

We're done for today.

The rest of the tests can wait.

What if... What if I never want to finish them?

Then we never finish them.

You won't force me?

Even if you need the medical reports?

I don't need reports to know you're safe here.

Why are you still up? It's past midnight.

When I was at the Smith house, I always prayed for snow.

Why?

Because when the storm was bad enough, the basement got completely quiet, the

doctors didn't want to drive out in the blizzard, and Adrian... Adrian hated the

cold, so he'd stay in his room.

Snow meant they couldn't get to me.

It was the only time I felt safe.

Look at me.

From now on, when it snows, you don't have to think about that basement.

Then what do I think about?

Think about this warm room, a fireplace, this blanket.

Or think about me.

Evelyn,

am I allowed to like you?

Not because you took me out of that house.

Not because you saved me.

Just because you are you.

Do you want me to stop?

So winter isn't always cold?

Not anymore.

Never again.

Are you just going to sit there forever?

When are you going to stand up again, Adrian?

Am I supposed to let everyone in high society laugh at me for the rest of my

life because of you?

The doctor said the rehab takes time, Chloe.

Time? We don't have time.

The Smith family's stocks are tallying, and I didn't sign up to be a nursemaid

to a cripple.

Again, Adrian, I'm right here. I'm not letting you fall.

Do you need something, Adrian?

Why Alice? Evelyn?

Why her?

Didn't you decide in the last life that I was the one who killed Chloe?

This time, I step back.

I let you have Chloe.

I let you have exactly what you wanted. Why are you not satisfied?

You remember.

The fire.

The ten years. I remember every single second of the door you locked, Adrian.

I was wrong.

Hatred blinded me.

I thought Chloe's death in the past was your fault, but I found out the truth.

The Smith family killed both Chloe and Alice to bury the secret of the

underground medical room. Evelyn, please.

If we start over, I will trust you. I will never hurt you again. Enough!

Adrian.

You don't regret hurting me.

What you regret is that in this life, no one is building your road for you. You

don't miss me. You miss the version of me who would give up her entire life to

save yours.

But that woman burned to death in the fire you set.

She's not coming back.

In the last life.

The ten years.

The fire you set.

Evelyn?

Am I allowed to like you?

I doesn't know Evelyn at all.

I might just be a shadow, a replacement, or a pawn in a game that started long

before she ever opened her eyes.

What are you doing?

It's freezing out here.

If you regret it, you still have time.

Regret what?

What are you talking about?

Choosing me.

You don't have to keep playing this game, Evelyn. I know how this works.

People take me in when they need something, and then they realize I'm too

broken, too difficult.

Alice, no.

It's okay.

Really.

I'm used to it.

Just don't make me wait for the day you get tired of me and throw me back in the

dark.

Just do it now.

Look at me!

Alice, look at me!

I have a lot of regrets in my life, Alice.

More than you will ever know.

But choosing you, saving you, being here with you, that is the only thing I have

ever gotten right.

Then why did you look at him like that?

Adrian?

whole lifetime between you. Like you shared a secret no one else could ever

touch. I saw it, Evelyn. I'm not stupid.

I know what a ghost looks like.

It's not what you think. I swear to you.

Then what is it?

Why does he look at you like he owns your past?

Because he's a ghost, Alice.

But you, you are real.

From now on, I look only at you.

No ghosts.

No past.

Just you.

Is this okay?

Tell me to stop if it's too much.

Don't stop.

You said it.

I did.

Only me.

Only you, Alice.

For the rest of my life.

What do you want, Adrian? I'm busy.

I want to walk again. In the last life, you had the best treatment plan. You

knew exactly which neurosurgeons to call, which rehab facilities actually

worked.

Evelyn, please.

You're the only one who can fix this. And why on earth would I do that? What

do I gain from helping you stand?

If you get me through the treatment, I will transfer 70% of the Smith Group's

voting rights, every share I control, to Alice. Those shares should have belonged

to her from the start.

You know that.

They owed her a lot more than stock, Adrian.

They owed her for the blood they took, the drugs they pumped into her, the

years she spent locked in that basement.

But if this is the only way to claw back what you stole from her, I'll take it.

So you'll help? I will help once.

The share transfer agreement is signed today.

Sophia handles the medical plan. You do not contact me.

You do not see me.

And once you can walk, you never show your face near Alice or me again. Do we

have a deal?

Fine.

These are the exact surgical evaluations and rehab schedules Miss Morgan

requested. Follow them to the letter.

It's done, Evelyn. The shares have been legally transferred to Alice's name.

Good. Keep Adrian's team completely separate from our personal accounts.

Evelyn!

Do you remember the day I first stood up in our last life?

You cried, Evelyn.

You were so happy.

I also remember that after I helped you stand, you locked me in a room and

watched me burn to death.

You're still up.

Were you waiting for me?

Worried?

I was worried you'd overwork yourself and leave me to deal with the aftermath.

Oh, I see.

So that's my role in this house?

You're a professional disaster manager?

Someone has to keep you from burning out Then I highly appreciate your

concern mrs. Smith You should

This is what you owe Chloe, Evelyn.

You get scared too?

I thought I didn't.

I thought if I changed things, the fire wouldn't follow me.

But it's still there.

It doesn't just go away because you're strong, Evelyn.

Next time you wake up like this, wake me up.

I don't want to burden you.

You have enough nightmares of your own.

It's... it's too much trouble.

You are not trouble.

In my past life, I gave Adrian ten years of my life.

I protected his name, saved his family, and dragged him out of the dirt.

And in the end, he treated me like a nuisance.

A criminal to be burned away.

You mean that?

Always.

Then, will you stay close tonight?

Yes.

It's only the wind.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize.

Tell me what you feel.

Your heartbeat.

What do you hear?

Your voice.

And where are you?

Home.

That's right.

Do you want me to leave the light on?

You used to sleep with a nightlight.

You gave it to me.

The first night I came here, you noticed.

I was afraid of the dark.

You never told me.

I didn't have to.

I can leave it on.

No.

Turn it off.

Are you sure?

I'm not alone this time.

I'm right here.

You gave me a light when I needed one.

Let me be yours tonight.

Don't let go.

I won't.

Sleep, Evelyn.

Goodnight, Alice.

Goodnight.

I did it.

I'm standing.

Good.

The doctors say you'll make a full recovery.

Our deal is officially done.

Evelyn, please.

Look at me. I'm whole now.

Come back to me.

I'll do it right this time. I'll love you properly, I swear.

Adrian, the agreement was very clear.

You don't...

Out of my way, Sophia.

The board of directors needs your signature on the final Smith share

transfer documents right now.

If you don't sign, the stock freeze lifts and they will reclaim everything.

We lose all our leverage.

How long?

Five minutes. Just five minutes, Evelyn.

Where are you going?

Why did you leave the ring? Back where I belong.

Back to the edge of the world.

Back to being nothing.

And where exactly is that?

You belong here.

No, I don't. I was just a shield, wasn't I?

A tool to get back at Adrian?

Now that he's standing, now that he wants you back.

Here.

Beside me.

This is the only place you belong.

Do you hear me?

I am never letting you go back to the dark.

You were looking at him in that room.

You looked at him.

I was looking at a ghost from a past that means nothing to me, Alex. But I am

looking at my entire world right now.

And my my world is you.

If you're afraid, if you want me to stop, tell me now.

Because in a second, I won't be able to.

Don't stop.

Still okay?

Yes.

More.

Evelyn, please

I'm

yours

It's official.

70% of the Smith family shares are yours.

You own them now, Alice.

Everyone out there is waiting, isn't it?

They're waiting for me to destroy them. You have every right to.

They kept you in the dark.

They stole your name.

They treated your life like a medical file.

They could lock in a basement.

If I use their money to hurt them, doesn't that mean I'm still letting them

control what I do?

You don't have to do anything you don't want to do.

The power is yours.

Even the power to walk away.

Adrian, please!

I was just scared!

When you were in that wheelchair, the doctor said you'd never walk again. I

panicked. You can't blame me for being weak.

I don't blame you for being weak, Chloe.

I blame myself for believing you actually loved me. I do love you. We can

start over now that you're standing. We can have the wedding. Everyone is

waiting to see us. What you want is not me. You want the Smith family name. You

want the position, the envy, the cameras. But there is no Smith empire

left for you to rule. Alice owns it all. Our marriage is just a piece of paper,

Chloe. And you are going to live in this empty house with nothing but that paper.

Let them have each other.

It's the perfect punishment.

You're not happy about the Smiths' downfall?

Those things, they don't matter to me anymore.

Then what does?

I used to lie in that dark room and wonder, why did Adrian have everything?

The light, the family, the freedom?

And I had nothing.

But now I know.

I never wanted the Smith name. I never wanted their money.

What did you want, Alice?

A home.

You.

Then let's have another wedding.

Another... Wedding?

Not a contract.

Not a business alliance to show off to the media. Not something done to satisfy

the board of directors.

This one will be only ours.

Just you and me.

My hands are warm today.

Because you're holding them.

The first time I reached for your hand, Alice, I thought I was the one saving

you, but the truth is, you saved me too.

I can't promise the world will never bring another storm, but I promise you,

whatever comes, we face it together.

Not as a Morgan, not for an alliance, but as your wife.

They gave me a last name, Avlevulin, but they never gave me love.

They kept me alive, but they never let me live.

You were the only one who told me I wasn't a tool or a shadow.

From today on, home isn't a place.

It's wherever you are.

This time, it's not a contract.

I choose this.

I choose you.

Not because I have to, because I want to, with everything I am.

So do I.

From the moment I really saw you, I chose you.

I love you, Alice, more than my own life.

I love you, Evelyn.

Is this okay?

Yes.

From now on, everything is my choice.

And I want you.

All of you.

You are so beautiful, Alice.

I've got you.

Just look at me.

Evelyn, I'm going to... Go.

I'm right here.

I

love

you, Alice.

I love you too, Evelyn.

Well, if it isn't the ruthless queen of the Smith Group, what brings you to my

territory? I was just in the neighborhood for a meeting.

Is that so?

Well, since you're already here, would you like to come home with me, Mrs.

Morgan? It's on your way.

Yes, it's always on my way.
