00:30I settle for second best
00:34Scared to risk what the future might bring
00:40What the future might bring
00:44I hold my breath, waiting for
00:48Someone to knock at my door
00:52Telling me there is more waiting for me
00:59Whoa
01:07If I love you harder than I've ever done before
01:15Oh, maybe I belong somewhere above the water
01:22My lungs are tired from running for a long time
01:28My feet got blisters, but maybe I belong
01:34If I love a little harder
01:58If I love a little harder
02:04If I love a little harder
02:10If I love a little harder
02:16If I love a little harder
02:22If I love a little harder
02:26If I love a little harder
02:32If I love a little harder
02:38If I love a little harder
02:44If I love a little harder
02:50If I love a little harder
02:56If I love a little harder
03:02If I love a little harder
03:08If I love a little harder
03:14If I love a little harder
03:20If I love a little harder
03:26If I love a little harder
03:32If I love a little harder
03:38Ugh, who does this SharksCampPoop96 think he is?
03:43You're just a noob and I'll beat you next time!
03:45Later that night, I was sitting at my desk with my laptop
03:48When an email popped up, and as I read it quickly
03:51I jumped out of my chair in excitement
03:53Mom!
03:54I quickly picked up my laptop and ran down the stairs to the kitchen
03:57Mom! Mom!
03:58Just then, Mom came running in with a fire extinguisher
04:01Where's the fire? Or the thief?
04:04What are you talking about?
04:05Mom, I got offered a huge publishing deal
04:08If I sign up, they'll give me an advance payment to start
04:11And it could really help us right now
04:13Mom dropped the extinguisher and squealed for joy
04:16As we both hugged each other and jumped around like kids
04:19Okay, okay, I need to calm down
04:21I think I'm gonna go out for a quick walk
04:23But it's rather late
04:25I'll be right back, don't worry
04:26And with that, I hurried out the door and started walking around the neighborhood
04:30Buzzing with excitement
04:31All I really wanted to do was call Dom and tell him the good news
04:34And I almost dialed his number a couple of times
04:36But something held me back
04:38Then suddenly, a car on the road started slowing down next to me
04:41And I felt a bit alarmed
04:43Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to be walking alone at this time
04:46I picked up my pace when someone called out
04:48Sadie, it's me!
04:50I sighed in relief and turned to see Ace leaning out his car window
04:53What are you doing out here?
04:55Just walking
04:56Listen, I'm glad I caught you
04:58I want to talk about your mom's papers
05:00Can we go somewhere and sit?
05:01Where?
05:02Just nearby
05:03Hop in
05:04I felt a bit awkward, but I wanted to know what he had to say
05:06So I got in the car
05:08I thought he'd take me to a cafe or something
05:10But he stopped outside a playground
05:12Why here?
05:13It's a beautiful night, and I thought we could sit on the swings
05:16Oh, well, you just didn't strike me as a swings kind of guy
05:20Sure I am
05:22I just miss being a kid sometimes
05:25You've been working for your dad since a young age
05:28So that's pretty understandable
05:30Yeah, dad has always relied on me, and I can't let him down, you know
05:35Besides, I've always wanted to save the world by doing something great through biotech
05:39That sounds awesome, Ace
05:41Anyway, about those documents
05:43Oh, right
05:45Ace reached for his jacket's inner pocket and handed me some papers
05:48You and your mom just need to read and sign these papers
05:51And then the lawyer I'm working with will process them in just a few days
05:54Oh, thank you so much
05:56Also, I just got a publishing deal, and I can use the advance payment to take care of the fees
06:01A publishing deal? That's amazing!
06:04I knew they'd get in touch with you
06:06Wait, what? How did you know that?
06:08Shoot, sorry, I wasn't supposed to blurt that out
06:11Ace looked away shyly and scratched the back of his head
06:14Okay, you caught me
06:16You were behind this?
06:18Since I knew you won't accept any money from me
06:20I thought about showing my friend your story online
06:22Because he's working for a huge publishing company
06:25I decided not to tell you about this because I didn't want to raise your hopes too soon
06:29Wait, how did you even find my story?
06:32Well, everyone at school has been talking about your interesting pen name
06:36Oh, right, so everyone knows Princess Wokwok is me
06:40That's kind of embarrassing
06:42It's cute, and I was really hoping the publishers would call you
06:46Ace, can I ask you a question?
06:48Why are you suddenly talking to me?
06:50This is like the first time in so many years
06:53And then you're just doing all this and it's just too much
06:56Remember that night by the pool when I brushed an eyelash away from your cheek?
07:01You've never left my mind since then
07:04Well, it's not like I never noticed before how pretty you are
07:07I really don't know why we didn't talk to each other before
07:11I was caught off guard as he leaned over from his swing
07:14And gently pushed away some hair from my face
07:16Am I going too fast or making you uncomfortable?
07:19No, I mean it's just a bit overwhelming
07:22And I don't know how to thank you for everything
07:25There's one thing you can do
07:27Just go out with me and I'll make all your troubles go away
07:30I would really take care of my girlfriend
07:33I sat frozen in my spot
07:35Ace, of all the people in the world, liked me enough to be my boyfriend?
07:39My mind was spinning and my face felt like it was on fire
07:43Can I think about it?
07:45Of course, take all the time you need
07:47I can wait
07:48I've been standing outside Sadie's door for at least 10 minutes
07:51Hesitant to knock
07:52I knew I hadn't been very nice to her lately and I wanted to apologize
07:56I started pacing across the porch as I practiced my lines
07:59Dude, I'm sorry about my attitude lately
08:01I'm just... I'm just hurt because you're not telling me everything
08:05Especially about what's going on between you and Ace
08:07Please forgive me, I miss you
08:09I hope we can...
08:11Suddenly the door opened and I jumped back
08:13Oh, Dom! I didn't know you were here, sweetie
08:16Hi, Mrs. Wilson
08:17Is Sadie home? Her bedroom window is closed
08:19She went for an evening walk around the neighborhood
08:21She got a publishing deal and she wanted to calm herself down
08:25Isn't that great news?
08:26But of course, she already told you and that's why you're here, right?
08:30Wow, yeah, of course, that's why I came
08:33To congratulate her in person
08:35But don't you think it's a bit late for her to be walking alone?
08:38Well, she called and said she's with your brother
08:40Oh, I see
08:42Do you want to come inside and wait for her?
08:44It's fine, Mrs. Wilson, I'll come by later
08:46Goodnight
08:47Goodnight
08:48I felt anger bubbling inside me as I walked back to my place
08:52Why were Ace and Sadie suddenly so close?
08:54Why hadn't she even spoken to me about this?
08:57This was not okay
08:59Just then my phone rang and I was surprised to see it was Margot
09:02Hello?
09:03Hey there, what are you doing right now?
09:05Um, nothing much, just getting ready to sleep
09:07Can you come over?
09:08Now? But it's almost midnight
09:10It's okay if you can't
09:12My parents are out of town as usual and I was just feeling a bit lonely
09:16But it's no biggie
09:17I thought about it for a few seconds, then said, I'll be there in ten
09:21Great, see you soon
09:22I wasn't really sure what I was doing
09:24But if Sadie could be out on moonlit walks with my brother celebrating good news in her life
09:28Well, I could certainly hang out with Margot
09:31Which maybe wasn't the best idea
09:33Because I was just feeling kind of awkward being there in her living room
09:36As we settled on the couch to watch a movie
09:39But Margot seemed more keen to talk
09:41My parents are super busy
09:43I'm always alone here and sometimes it drives me crazy
09:46How about Dana and your other friends? Do they come here often?
09:49Not much, I'm not really comfortable with them
09:51Then suddenly she removed the cushion lying between us and moved much closer
09:56I'd rather have you here
09:58I hope you don't mind
09:59Oh yeah, no, I had some time tonight, otherwise I'm quite busy nowadays
10:04But suddenly she leaned in even closer and kissed me square on the lips
10:08I felt stunned
10:10I think I like you, Dom
10:11Do you like me too?
10:14A few nights later, Clover was at my place for a sleepover
10:17But I could hardly focus on anything
10:19And kept re-watching Margot's stories on Instagram
10:22I mean, it just doesn't seem like Dom
10:24What doesn't?
10:25Him hanging around with Margot and partying with her circle of elite friends
10:29I got news for you, girl
10:31Dominic always belonged to the elite circle
10:33Maybe he's just wondering now why he was hanging out with his commoners all along
10:37Oh, come on, he's never been like that
10:39I just don't get why he'd change overnight
10:41And what's worse is that whenever I try to talk to him, he finds a way to avoid me
10:45It's driving me nuts
10:48Just admit that you're jealous
10:50I'm not, I'm just saying
10:52All these parties and public displays are more like Ace's style, not Dom's
10:57Speaking of Ace, you need to give me all the details on that
11:00I don't know what to make of Ace
11:02He's been really friendly the past few days
11:04More than friendly, in fact
11:06He's been flirting with me a lot
11:08He's the one who's been helping me with Mom's problem
11:10Clover nearly spat out her soda as she stared at me in disbelief
11:13That was him?
11:15Did you give him a love potion or something?
11:17I find it weird, to be honest
11:19He's just too good to be true
11:21He's even planning to send some bodyguards to protect us from those goons who keep threatening Mom
11:25What if he's up to something?
11:27What could he be up to?
11:28And really, what do you have to lose?
11:30You date a hot guy and get your mom out of trouble
11:32You can always break up with him later if you don't like him
11:34But I don't know how Dom will feel about this
11:37They've always been rivals, and I've been put in a difficult position
11:40Well, Dom isn't around much lately, so...
11:42Right
11:44Clover was watching my face intently, so I forced a smile
11:47Before I forget, Ace actually asked me out to a party
11:50Then what are you waiting for?
11:52Stop being so boring even just for a night and just go
11:55I was almost considering it
11:57Yeah, I think I was gonna go
11:58Dom was busy partying with Margot
12:00Why should I care what he'd think of me going out with Ace?
12:02I walked into the club on Ace's arm, feeling many eyes on us
12:06The place was buzzing and everyone was really glammed up
12:09Which made me feel awkward and out of place
12:12But Ace led me straight to the dance floor
12:14And pulled me in by the waist
12:16Isn't this amazing?
12:18Uh, yeah, I guess
12:20Listen, I don't really know how to dance
12:22Just follow my lead and move to the rhythm
12:25I was sitting on a bar stool next to Margot
12:27When I spotted Ace and Sadie on the dance floor
12:29And my stomach flipped
12:31I felt something close to rage
12:33When I saw Ace's hand on her waist
12:35Just then, Margot grabbed my hand
12:37And pulled me to the dance floor too
12:39And soon enough, Sadie turned in my direction
12:41And our eyes met
12:43I could see she looked surprised
12:44And quickly tried to hide it
12:46As she gave me a weak smile before looking away
12:48Of all the guys out there
12:50Why my rival?
12:52Traitor!
12:53Why am I even surprised that he's dating her?
12:55She's practically perfect
12:56Margot had her arms around my neck
12:58And suddenly, she grabbed my face and kissed me
13:00And I kissed her back
13:02My heart felt like it was breaking
13:04As I saw Dom and Margot kiss
13:06I needed to get out of here
13:08I gently pulled away from Ace
13:09I-I gotta go to the restroom
13:11I ran to the bathroom
13:12Locked myself into a cubicle
13:14And then I burst into tears
13:16The next day at school
13:18I was still feeling bummed out about the events of the night
13:20When I walked over to my locker
13:21As I was taking my books out
13:23A small silver envelope fell to the floor
13:25There was nothing written on it
13:26But I found two cards inside
13:28The first card said
13:29It's been years
13:30Can't wait to finally meet you
13:32Dad!
13:33I stood frozen for a few seconds in surprise
13:35What kind of prank was this?
13:37And who would play it on me?
13:38The second card said
13:39Dinner at 6pm
13:41Brasserie de Pierre
13:42Give your name at the reception
13:44Yeah, sure
13:45I'll go to this high-end French restaurant
13:47To meet you, Dad
13:48What a stupid joke
13:50I slammed my locker shut
13:51And tossed the cards in the trash
13:53But later that day
13:54When I went to my scooter in the school parking lot
13:56I found the same silver envelope in the front basket
13:58With the same notes inside
14:00Someone really thinks this is funny, huh?
14:02I just rolled my eyes
14:03And started rummaging through my bag for my keys
14:05And as I fished them out
14:07The same envelope with the same cards fell out
14:10Oh, you have got to be kidding me
14:12This is ridiculous
14:13I took a deep breath and looked around
14:14To see if anyone was watching their prank playing out
14:17There weren't many kids around
14:19And no one was paying attention to me
14:20You know what?
14:21Fine
14:22If you're watching me or whatever
14:23You win
14:24I'll play your little game
14:25And find out who has the time to prank me
14:27Using a father I've never met
14:29Later that evening
14:30I arrived at the fancy French restaurant
14:32At 6 p.m. sharp
14:33And walked up to the receptionist
14:35Can you please check for a Sadie on your list?
14:37Mademoiselle Sadie
14:39Ah, yes, please
14:40Let me guide you to your table
14:42The server led me to the main dining area
14:44And I was about to burst with curiosity
14:46I followed him to a secluded corner
14:48Where a man in his forties
14:50Was sitting at a table checking his phone
14:52The server bowed his head and left
14:54I stood there confused
14:55Wondering what to do next
14:56Just then
14:57The man looked up at me
14:58And his face broke into a smile
15:00As he rose quickly from his seat
15:02Sadie?
15:03Oh my, you're actually here
15:05Please, sit
15:06Who are you exactly, sir?
15:08I was hoping you would just call me dad
15:10I just stood there staring at him
15:12Frozen in shock
15:17I was sitting across from this strange, elegant man
15:20And I had no idea what to make of this situation
15:22Is this a joke?
15:24Did someone ask you to do this?
15:25I know it's weird that I've just sprung up out of nowhere
15:28But I swear
15:29This is not a joke
15:31I really am your dad
15:32How do I know you're telling the truth?
15:34The man quietly placed a folder on the table
15:36And pushed it towards me
15:37I opened it hesitantly
15:39And it was filled with photographs of him and my mom
15:41When they were both younger
15:43Mom had a visible pregnancy bump in one of the photos
15:45And there was a sonogram too
15:47Then I saw some letters and cards
15:49Unmistakably in mom's handwriting
15:51I... I don't understand
15:53You look happy here
15:54Why did you just leave?
15:56And what are you doing here?
15:57Coming back after 17 years?
15:59I had no choice but to leave
16:01My parents were against my relationship with your mom from the start
16:04When your mom got pregnant
16:06I told my parents that I was going to marry her
16:09My father threatened to hurt her if I didn't stop seeing her
16:12He was a dangerous, powerful man
16:15I had to leave to keep you and your mom safe
16:18But I never stopped loving you both
16:20Why didn't they like her?
16:22She came from a poor family
16:24There was someone else they wanted me to marry
16:27And I did
16:28We got sick and died 3 years after our wedding
16:31Why didn't you look for us earlier then?
16:33I did
16:34I found you years ago
16:36Years ago?
16:37So what?
16:38You sit comfortably on your expensive couches and your fancy suits
16:42While watching mom work to death to feed me and send me to school?
16:46Sadie, I tried to come back so many times in the past 10 years
16:49But your mom wouldn't let me
16:51I was taken aback by that revelation
16:53What do you mean? Why would she do that?
16:55Your mother hates me
16:57And it's understandable
16:59We tried for years to win her forgiveness
17:01But she kept pushing me away
17:03It was hard to watch you both struggle
17:05Knowing I could give you everything
17:07I know she kept all this secret from you
17:10But please don't hold it against her
17:12I know she's just trying to protect you
17:14Dad reached out and placed his hands on mine
17:17I decided to reach out to you this time without her knowing
17:20Because I've watched you from afar for too long
17:23I wanted to meet you so much
17:25And try fixing things
17:27This is a lot to process
17:29I know, I'm sure you're overwhelmed
17:32But can I ask you for a favor?
17:34Do you think we could meet again tomorrow?
17:37I'd like to take you for a day out
17:39It would give us a chance to get to know each other better
17:42I stayed quiet for a few seconds
17:44Feeling a storm of emotions
17:46And then I said, sure, I think I'd like that
17:50Dad gave me the widest smile
17:52And I couldn't help smiling back
17:54The next day, we met in a bistro for lunch
17:56After which, he took me to a luxury mall
17:59Dad led me into a designer clothing shop
18:01Where the owner was practically tripping over himself trying to please us
18:05And showing us racks of their newest collection
18:08I looked around at a few pieces
18:10But none of them had price tags
18:12Sir, this doesn't have a tag
18:14Oh, Miss Sadie, we do not put tags on our products
18:17But it's for $2,300
18:19Oh, I see
18:21It's lovely
18:23I turned around to put it back on the rack
18:25But Dad swooped forward and took it from me
18:27We're taking that and anything else you want
18:29But it's too much, I really don't need
18:31No buts, you agreed to do this with me today
18:34By that evening, I was surrounded by shopping bags
18:37And I was wondering how I'd smuggle them into the house
18:40Tired?
18:41Actually, yes
18:43Can we go home now?
18:44I think it's too much already
18:46And I'm worried about Mom seeing all this
18:48Dad looked at me for a moment, then sighed
18:50I understand
18:52Let's get you home then
18:53I had to get dropped a block away
18:55Climb over the back wall with all my bags
18:57And sneak them in through my bedroom window
18:59Just as I was inspecting my shopping
19:01I suddenly heard a knock on the door
19:03Sweetie, are you there?
19:04Oh my god, yes Mom, just one sec
19:06I quickly shoved everything under the bed
19:08Leaving only one bag on it
19:10I posed myself and opened the door
19:12Hi Mom
19:13Uh, hi Sadie
19:14You're smiling really weirdly
19:16Am I?
19:17I'm just happy to see you
19:18Where were you after school?
19:20You weren't answering my calls
19:21Oh, um, Clover dragged me to the mall
19:24And she gave me a cute dress and boots
19:26As an early birthday present
19:28We were busy having fun
19:29Sorry I missed your calls
19:31I see
19:32Come down for dinner in ten, okay?
19:34Aye aye, Captain
19:35You're acting strange, is anything wrong?
19:37Not at all, Mom
19:38I'm just excited for dinner
19:40Nom nom
19:41In fact, I'll just come down with you now and help you
19:44Mom was looking at me suspiciously
19:45As I pushed her out of the room and followed her
19:47I had no idea how she'd react
19:49If she really knew what I'd been up to that afternoon
19:51The next day at school
19:52I was standing with Justin in the parking lot
19:54When three fancy cars screeched in
19:56And Margo, Dana, and her minion got out of them
19:59Why are they walking and acting like
20:01They're on the set of Mean Girls, weirdos?
20:03I tried not to laugh
20:04As Margo approached me with a smile
20:06But just then, Sadie arrived on her scooter
20:08And there was something different about her outfit
20:10Louis Vuitton boots and a Gucci
20:12Who is this?
20:14I only know one person who owns that ugly scooter
20:17Chicken delivery girl
20:18There's no way she can afford those brands
20:20Clover suddenly appeared beside us
20:22Sipping on an iced latte
20:24Sorry to burst your jealous bubble
20:25But I think she can
20:26And she looks good
20:28Sadie took her helmet off
20:29And she wasn't wearing her glasses
20:31Then she shook her hair out
20:32And I couldn't peel my eyes away
20:34She looked stunning
20:35She probably got plastic surgery on her whole face
20:38I thought you said she couldn't afford those brands
20:41And now you're saying she can't afford plastic surgery?
20:43Make up your mind, girl
20:45Ugh, I'm not even talking to you
20:47Isn't there a button to shut you up?
20:49Dana slapped the coffee cup out of Clover's hand
20:52And stormed off with her minion
20:53Just then, I noticed Margo staring at my face
20:56And it felt like she could read my thoughts
20:58Uh, let's go to class, shall we?
21:00Yes, let's
21:01She put her arm through mine
21:02And even though I was tempted to
21:04I didn't dare look back at Sadie
21:06As I got off my scooter
21:07I could feel quite a few eyes on me
21:09And then Clover came running up to me excitedly
21:12How? What? When? Why?
21:14I'll tell you everything
21:15Hold on, we're late for class
21:17But it turned out, so was the teacher
21:19I noticed Dom and Margo talking
21:20And he didn't even look my way as I walked in
21:22So I ignored him too and went to a corner
21:25Where Clover and I huddled close together
21:27As I told her everything
21:29So you're telling me that your dad finally showed up
21:31And he's a freaking billionaire?
21:33Jesus, your voice!
21:34Sorry, so you're telling me that your dad finally showed up
21:37And he's a freaking billionaire?
21:39Yes, and I'm not sure how to feel about it
21:42Mom's gonna kill me if she finds out I met him
21:44It's just too complicated
21:46But you have to
21:47Just then, Clover got distracted as she looked towards the door
21:50Your boyfriend is here
21:52I turned around to see Ace leaning in the doorway
21:54Gesturing at me to come out
21:56And somehow, it just annoyed me
21:58Wake up, my friend, your Prince Charming is calling you
22:00Can you be any louder?
22:02Wake up, my friend, your Prince Charming is calling you
22:06You're dead meat
22:07I forced a smile and walked up to Ace reluctantly
22:10Ace, what are you doing here?
22:12I just wanted to see you
22:13Do I need a reason?
22:14But we're having class
22:16I don't see any teachers around
22:18Then he stepped closer to me
22:19And brushed his finger against my cheek
22:21I saw you this morning and barely recognized you
22:24You look stunning
22:25Ace, everyone's watching
22:27Let's talk later, okay?
22:29I was sure Dana was digging a hole in my skull with her glare
22:32But I felt more conscious of what Dominic must be thinking
22:35Okay, but can I have a kiss?
22:37What? Um, no, I...
22:39But before I could finish, he was pulling me closer
22:42And just as I was about to push him away
22:44Dom jumped in and punched his face
22:46She said no
22:47What the heck is wrong with you?
22:49Aren't you satisfied with what you did last night?
22:51It wasn't enough?
22:52What are you talking about?
22:53This
22:54And then Ace unbuttoned his shirt
22:56Revealing bruises all over his body
22:58You attacked me because of your stupid jealousy
23:01Is that how a young businessman behaves?
23:03What a disgrace to our family
23:05Just stop it already, bro
23:07Sadie just sees you as a friend and nothing more
23:09What? You're spitting nonsense
23:12With that, Dominic shoved him back
23:14And Ace dropped like a feather to the floor
23:16Clutching his arm
23:17My arm
23:18Ow, my arm
23:19I think he fractured it
23:21I couldn't believe what was happening
23:23I knelt down next to Ace
23:24Who looked like he was in a lot of pain
23:26And then I glared up at Dominic
23:28Dom, have you lost your mind?
23:30What is wrong with you?
23:31He turned to me with a hurt expression
23:33And just then, the principal walked in on the scene
23:36What on earth is happening here?
23:38Dad had called me into his office
23:39And I was feeling both nervous and angry
23:41Because I knew it was all about the drama Ace had created
23:44As I walked in, I found Dad sitting stiffly in his chair
23:47While Ace was smirking in a corner
23:49With his bruised face and arm cast
23:51You asked for me, Dad?
23:53Dad silently reached for the tablet on his table
23:55And pushed it towards me
23:56Feeling confused, I clicked the video on the tablet
23:59And I was shocked that it was a recording
24:01Of the fight between me and Ace in school
24:03It showed me punching his face
24:04And then pushing him to the ground
24:06While Ace wasn't fighting back at all
24:08Would you like to explain why there is a video
24:10Sent to my email anonymously
24:12Of you starting this fight at school, Dominic?
24:14I looked over Ace's blank face
24:16And felt anger boil up
24:18Dad, this jerk
24:19Anyone seeing this video
24:21Will think that you're a very violent person, Dominic
24:23I'm not, Dad, you know this
24:25But other people don't
24:27The possible future CEO of my company
24:29Attacking his own brother like a rabid dog
24:32I felt shocked as Ace looked
24:34Dad really was considering me as the future CEO?
24:37Dad sighed and slowly shook his head
24:39Do you remember the story I used to tell you
24:41When you were kids?
24:43Oh no, Dad, please don't
24:44No, you both need a reminder
24:46There once was a wise chimpanzee
24:48Who ruled the forest
24:50He took in a lion cub and a wolf cub
24:52And raised them like brothers
24:54They both grew up to be strong and fierce
24:56And no one dared to hurt their kingdom
24:58When those two stood together
25:00But then a slimy old python started to whisper to them both
25:02You're better than your brother
25:04You have the stronger genes
25:06You should be king
25:08The two started to fight viciously
25:10And then everything fell apart
25:12Their poor old dad was killed in his sleep by the python
25:14Because no one was looking after him
25:16And then the pythons took over
25:18And banished the wolf and lion from their kingdom
25:20Forever
25:22Okay, Dad, we get it
25:24I'm so disappointed with your actions today, Dominic
25:26I'm sorry, Dad, it won't happen again
25:28Make sure that it doesn't
25:30I'll leave you two to sort out your issues
25:32Then Dad got up and left the room
25:34And I turned to Ace
25:36You sent that video to Dad
25:38Did you get a friend to film the whole thing for you?
25:40Can you prove it?
25:42Maybe I just got lucky that someone had their phone out
25:44I don't hear a denial
25:46You're my little brother
25:48Anyone gets close to Sadie
25:50And you will act without thinking
25:52What is your deal with Sadie?
25:54Just stay away from her
25:56And who are you to dictate anything?
25:58Have you asked her if she wants me to stay away?
26:00Stop using her to get to me
26:02That's so low of you
26:04All is fair in love and war, Dommy
26:06You might have won Dad's favor to consider you for CEO
26:08But you'll never win Sadie over
26:10She's not some consolation prize to be won
26:12Because you didn't get what you wanted
26:14You said she's a prize
26:16I stepped closer to Ace
26:18We both know that at this point I'll probably end up becoming the CEO
26:20Getting a little more confident, huh?
26:22I hope you can maintain that
26:24Ace's lips curled into an evil smile
26:26And I turned and left the office
26:28Before I punched him again
26:30After their crazy fight
26:32I hadn't seen either Ace or Dom at school for the next couple of days
26:34And I was keeping my mind off of them
26:36By hanging out more with Dad
26:38As I was coming home one night after meeting him
26:40I saw the living room was dark
26:42And I figured Mom was in her room
26:44I was quietly tiptoeing my way to the stairs
26:46When the living room was suddenly flooded with light
26:48And I jumped out of my skin
26:50What are you up to these days, Sadie?
26:52Sweet zombie kittens, Mom
26:54You scared me
26:56You really seem to be enjoying your Dad's company lately, huh?
26:58I froze in shock
27:00What? How did you know?
27:02Mom sat down on the couch looking really upset
27:04I saw you walking out with him
27:06From a restaurant a few days back
27:08I've been waiting for you to tell me about it
27:10But I guess you didn't have any such plans
27:12I knelt down next to Mom
27:14And held her hands
27:16Mom, I swear, I've been planning to tell you
27:18But I just couldn't find the right time
27:20Mom pulled her hand away from me
27:22Stay away from him, understood?
27:24And don't even think about asking for help from him
27:26Could you talk to him?
27:28Just once?
27:30Everyone deserves a second chance, Mom
27:32You believed all his words, didn't you?
27:34If you're gonna choose your Dad, then fine
27:36Go ahead
27:38You'll have a more comfortable life with him
27:40I can't believe you're saying that, Mom
27:42I just want to have a complete family
27:44Well, I guess I'm not enough for you
27:46Mom, it's not like that
27:48But Mom just got up and rushed to her room
27:50I ran after her
27:52But she closed the door in my face
27:54I kept knocking, but she wouldn't open up
27:56Mom, please
27:58We have to talk about this
28:00I finally gave up and went to my room in tears
28:02I called Clover, but she wasn't answering her phone either
28:04I looked over at Dom's place
28:06And I felt even worse
28:08I felt I needed some fresh air
28:10So I climbed out my window and lay on the soft grass
28:12Tears streaming down my face
28:14As I looked up at the stars
28:16Just then, I spotted something in the grass
28:18From the corner of my eye
28:20It was a praying mantis
28:22Oh, wow, it's been a while since I saw one
28:24I was about to crawl quietly to catch it
28:26When someone else got to it first
28:28And I looked up to see Dom
28:30What are you doing here?
28:32Chasing some praying mantis, obviously
28:34My eyes are just sweating because it's hot
28:36It's actually quite chilly
28:38Sadie, is everything okay?
28:40You can tell me like you always do, you know
28:42Dominic leaned over
28:44And gently wiped the tear off my cheek
28:46And my heart skipped a beat
28:48But I quickly tried to hide it
28:50Wow, look at you, ignoring me for weeks
28:52And now pretending that everything's fine
28:54What's happening to us, buddy?
28:56And why did you get so aggressive with Ace?
28:58Dominic stared at my face for a few seconds
29:00I don't know either, but I just wanted to
29:02Just then, Ace suddenly called out to Dom from their balcony
29:04Hey bro, your girlfriend has been calling you non-stop
29:06She's not my...
29:08You should go
29:10I gotta head back inside anyway
29:12See you around
29:14And then I walked away with fresh tears pouring down my face
29:20The next morning, as I shut off my alarm
29:22I sleepily checked my phone
29:24And my eyes grew wide at a text I'd received
29:26It was from the principal
29:28Saying she wanted to place an order
29:30For 50 fried chickens for a lunch party
29:32Whoa, for real?
29:34I ran downstairs to the kitchen where Mom was already frying chicken
29:36Mom?
29:38Mom continued frying like she hadn't heard me
29:40I got 50 orders from our principal for lunch
29:42Okay, I'll prepare for it
29:44I walked up to her and gave her a bear hug from behind
29:46I miss you, Mom
29:48I don't like you being mad at me
29:50Mom unwrapped my arms and kind of pushed me away
29:52I'll call you once the order's ready
29:54Okay
29:56And I left the kitchen with a heavy heart
29:58A couple of hours later, I was running breathlessly to the principal's office
30:00Carrying her huge order
30:02I knocked at the door before entering
30:04Then walked up to the desk and placed the food on it
30:06Good morning, ma'am
30:08Here are your 50 fried chickens
30:10Phew
30:12But the principal looked shocked and almost terrified
30:14I have an allergy to chicken
30:16Get that away from me
30:18What?
30:20But I got an order from your number, ma'am
30:22Look, this is yours, right?
30:24The principal narrowed her eyes as she looked at my phone screen
30:26There's been some misunderstanding
30:28Because I never texted that number
30:30Just take them away, now
30:32The smell will make me break out into hives any minute
30:34Feeling dazed
30:36I picked up the order and left the office
30:38Why did she have to be so rude?
30:40No wonder they called her rude tank
30:42Yeah, tank for being fat
30:44I had barely taken a few steps down the hallway
30:46When I found myself face to face with Dana and her minion
30:48How dare you take your chickens to my mom?
30:50You could have killed her with those
30:52I'm just a delivery girl doing my job
30:54I'm not a psychic who can predict an insecure girl's plan
30:56To play a stupid prank on a small business
30:58You're indeed a writer
31:00You're good at making up dumb stories
31:02I bet her stories are as embarrassing as her
31:04You can always read one to be sure
31:06Not interested in reading something by a cheap chicken girl
31:08Who's trying so hard to fit in
31:10So now you're making up some mysterious long-lost billionaire dad
31:12Just so you can impress someone like Ace?
31:14Oh, so this is what it's about
31:16And why would I need a rich dad to impress me?
31:18I don't know
31:20I'm just a delivery girl
31:22And why would I need a rich dad to impress Ace?
31:24You've always had one
31:26He's never paid any attention to you
31:28As I started to walk away
31:30Dana suddenly snatched the bag from me and flung it aside
31:32Everyone in the hallway gasped
31:34As all the fried chickens went flying across the floor
31:36And then
31:38Dana's minion started crushing them with her feet
31:40What makes you think you can treat people like this?
31:42Do you have any idea
31:44How much hard work you ruined in seconds?
31:46Of course you don't
31:48Because you're just a stupid, spoiled brat
31:50You know what?
31:52I actually feel sorry for you
31:54Because you're the most pathetic person I've ever met
31:56How dare you?
31:58Dana leapt forward to attack me
32:00But just then, Margot stepped in calmly
32:02Holding her iced coffee
32:04Margot, you have got to start taking my side
32:06Chicken girl started it as usual
32:08She always provokes me
32:10Margot turned around to me with a strange face
32:12And for a second, I thought she was going to do something to me
32:14But then
32:16She abruptly turned back to Dana
32:18She turned in Dana's direction
32:20And some of it got over Dana's shoe
32:22I already warned you, Dana
32:24But you never listen
32:26What is wrong with you?
32:28I can't believe you'd do this to your own friend
32:30Don't think I don't know the things you say behind my back
32:32I'm not sure you know how to be anyone's friend
32:34I thought a catfight was about to break out between them
32:36But then Dana leaned away
32:38Come on, girl, let's go
32:40As she turned around to leave
32:42Clover suddenly appeared and stuck out her foot
32:44Dana tripped and fell on the floor
32:46Margot, you have got to start taking my side
32:48Chicken
32:50Mmm, tastes heavenly, right?
32:52You're all gonna pay for this
32:54As she stormed off crying, Margot suddenly grabbed my arm
32:56Her face expressionless
32:58You and I, we need to talk
33:00Meet me in the chemistry lab after school
33:02Before I could respond, she walked away too
33:04What was this about?
33:06I was at the lab before Margot
33:08And she turned up about ten minutes late
33:10She sat down on a stool and looked at me squarely
33:12Listen, Sadie
33:14I was so stupid that I wouldn't notice it
33:16So, I need you to stay away from him
33:18Suddenly, her pretty face became threatening
33:20You don't want to see my other side, Sadie
33:22You know my dad, right?
33:24He can do anything, literally
33:26And, well, my mom?
33:28She's a senator with a lot of connections
33:30I can just tell them how violent Dominic is
33:32And how he tried to hurt me
33:34Everyone already saw what he did to his own brother
33:36I can ruin our scientist lover boy's life in just a snap
33:38So really, it's up to you
33:40How do you want to play?
33:42I was speechless for a few seconds
33:44Wow, I didn't expect that from you
33:46Why are you doing this?
33:48Because I can, Sadie
33:50Because I can
33:52Margot got up and exited the lab gracefully
33:54While I sat there in shock
33:56After talking with Clover
33:58And thinking a lot about everything
34:00I'd finally made some decisions
34:02I walked over to the pool next door
34:04Where Ace was doing laps
34:06When he spotted me, he quickly came to the edge
34:08Wow, I wasn't expecting to see you here
34:10You haven't been answering my texts or calls
34:12Listen, I'm sorry I upset you that day
34:14I shouldn't have tried to kiss you
34:16I didn't know you weren't ready
34:18Ace, never mind all that
34:20We need to talk
34:22Ace just looked at me as I sat down on a pool chair
34:24You've been very good to me
34:26And I'm grateful for everything you did
34:28But I don't think we should see each other anymore
34:30Why?
34:32Because you don't deserve to be with someone
34:34Who isn't sure about you
34:36For a second, I saw a furious glint in his eye
34:38But then, his face softened again
34:40If you give me time, I know I can change your mind
34:42I'm really sorry, but...
34:44You know I'm willing to do anything, right?
34:46I processed your mom's papers, didn't I?
34:48So what, you just used me?
34:50No, you offered to do it
34:52You said we're friends, right?
34:54And I tried being more than that
34:56But I just can't
34:58And then, everything that's happening between you and Dom
35:00What is that?
35:02I know he's not a violent person
35:04So, are you making that up?
35:06Wow, you saw him punching me and pushing me
35:08And I didn't even fight back
35:10And you think I'm the liar here?
35:12I don't know what to think
35:14Except that I need to end this
35:16You do know that I can reverse the paperwork I got done for your mom, right?
35:18Is that a threat?
35:20You know what?
35:22Now I feel certain that I've made the right decision
35:24Goodbye, Ace
35:26And I walked away quickly, feeling relief wash over me
35:28As we were having a silent family dinner one night
35:30Dad suddenly cleared his throat
35:32So I've made my decision regarding this company
35:34Ace and I quickly looked at each other
35:36Before turning back to dad
35:38My heart was beating a mile per minute
35:40And after careful deliberation
35:42I'm making Dominic the CEO of the company
35:44By the end of this quarter
35:46Oh my god!
35:48Dad, are you kidding me?
35:50Dominic has proved himself with this research
35:52And gained the trust and respect of the board
35:54I've made the decision that makes the most sense right now
35:56Ace's face had twisted into rage
35:58And suddenly, he swiped the plates off the table
36:00And sent them flying into the wall
36:02Ace, have you lost your mind?
36:04No dad, it looks like you have
36:06You've been preparing me to be the CEO my entire life
36:08And you just gave it to this lowlife?
36:10What do you expect me to do?
36:12Roll over and drool?
36:14I expect you to respect my decision
36:16And behave yourself
36:18You'll regret this dad
36:20You're making a huge mistake
36:22And with that, Ace stormed out
36:24Slamming the door hard behind him
36:26I think he's just shocked
36:28Dad, he'll be fine
36:30Sorry that this moment has been ruined for you
36:32Congratulations son
36:34I'm sure you'll always make me proud
36:36Thanks dad, I'll do my best
36:38As dad retired to his room
36:40All I wanted to do was run over to Sadie
36:42And tell her the news
36:44In fact, I wanted to talk to her about a lot more
36:46But before that, I had to speak to Margot
36:48And I headed to her place immediately
36:50When I reached Margot's mansion
36:52A maid let me in and informed me
36:54That the family was having dinner
36:56And I could join them
36:58I went to the dining room
37:00It seemed like there was an argument happening inside
37:02And I stopped at the door
37:04How many months will you be away this time mom?
37:06Do you need an exact deadline?
37:08It will be longer than usual
37:10But it's my birthday next week
37:12It's just a birthday, we can always celebrate later
37:14Why are you throwing a tantrum?
37:16I'm not throwing a tantrum
37:18Oh, before I forget
37:20Dominic's father told me that he'll be announcing Dominic
37:22As the official future CEO of Biotech any day now
37:24Oh my, that's wonderful
37:26The company will be in good hands with him
37:28He also has this perfect image in the media
37:30Which is beneficial for us
37:32Margot, it really is one thing you've done
37:34To make us proud, darling
37:36You chose the right guy
37:38Nothing else about me makes you proud, mom?
37:40I just give you a compliment, Margot
37:42Why do you always make everything so negative?
37:44I think we should announce an engagement
37:46Between Margot and Dominic soon
37:48The public loves that kind of news
37:50And it'll make my deal with Biotech
37:52All the more secure
37:54What? Engagement? But...
37:56How are things going between you two?
37:58Everything's great, he's the sweetest
38:00That's amazing
38:02Maybe I could postpone my appointment
38:04So we could throw a grand party on your birthday
38:06We'll raise a toast to Dominic
38:08For becoming the CEO too
38:10And make him feel special
38:12How does that sound?
38:14Oh wow, really? I'd love that
38:16I backed off quietly and went to the living room
38:18Suddenly things were making a lot more sense
38:20Margot had only gotten close to me
38:22To win her parents' favor
38:24And they obviously cared more about their image
38:26Than they did about their daughter
38:28I was still lost in thought when Margot walked in
38:30Looking surprised
38:32Hi there! How long have you been waiting?
38:34Oh, not that long
38:36Listen, there's something I need to talk about
38:38Oh my god, I think I already know
38:40Your dad made his decision, didn't he?
38:42Are congratulations in order?
38:44He did, yes, but Margot, that's not why I'm here
38:46I have to say something else
38:48Margot looked at me, then quietly said
38:50This is about Sadie, isn't it?
38:52I'm so sorry, Margot
38:54I don't think this will work between us
38:56I realized that some time ago
38:58But Sadie likes your brother
39:00What are you going to do about it?
39:02I don't know
39:04All I know is that I need to be honest to you and to myself
39:06Margot came closer to me and put her hand on my face
39:08That's a good start
39:10Thank you for being honest, Dom
39:12I would never want someone to feel stuck being with me
39:14I care for you, and Sadie too
39:16That means a lot to me
39:18Please, don't be a stranger
39:20I won't
39:22I kissed Margot on the cheek gently, and then left
39:24It had gone much better than I'd hoped
39:26If I'm not happy, I'll make sure no one else is either
39:28Clover and I sat silently on my bed
39:30Staring at the photos I'd received in the mail last night
39:32I told you, Margot wasn't kidding
39:34She'll use these fake, bruised pictures of herself
39:36To destroy Dominic's image
39:38And it won't matter that it's not true
39:40It's just about creating enough doubt
39:42She's influential enough to make a big deal of it in the press
39:44Once that happens,
39:46The board of directors will definitely suggest
39:48That Dom shouldn't be the CEO for the company's image
39:50This means too much to him, Clover
39:52I can't ruin this
39:54Margot's crazier than I thought
39:56I get what you're saying, but you also can't let him be with that witch
39:58I said the same before
40:00You have to tell him everything, and let him deal with it
40:02I'm not sure about that
40:04He's just become the CEO
40:06And I don't want him to be dealing with a press scandal
40:08Did Dom tell you about the CEO announcement himself?
40:10Nope
40:12I just read it in the news, like
40:14Everyone else
40:16Just talk to him, Sadie
40:18Suddenly, we heard loud, angry voices downstairs
40:20And Clover and I looked at each other in alarm
40:22Before we ran down
40:24And I found my dad in the lounge
40:26With Mom yelling at him
40:28Uh, I see you guys have finally met again
40:30You asked your father to pay off my debts?
40:32And he's the one who has sorted out my immigration papers?
40:34How could you do this without asking me?
40:36Can you just calm down?
40:38No, I don't want your help
40:40We were doing just fine
40:42By then?
40:44I just had it
40:46No, we're not, Mom
40:48We are not doing fine
40:50I know you've been working yourself to the bone
40:52To take care of me
40:54And I love you for that
40:56But we can't handle everything ourselves
40:58I had asked someone else to handle your papers before
41:00But I couldn't trust him anymore
41:02And I can't worry about you being deported one day
41:04Or deal with the idea of thugs turning up to terrorize us, Mom
41:06And I've got my own stupid school drama
41:08It's just all getting too much
41:10For me, Mom
41:12Mom looked at me, stunned
41:14As tears rolled down my cheeks
41:16You don't have to forgive Dad right away
41:18You're allowed to feel angry
41:20But I do want to have him around
41:22And I want our lives to be less stressful
41:24So please, Mom, for my sake
41:26Just try to make some peace with the situation
41:28I hate that you're mad at me
41:30You're my best friend
41:32Hey, that's me
41:34No one gets my spot
41:36Mom and I looked at her
41:38Suddenly, we all started laughing
41:40Believe me, I'm not trying to take Sadie away from you
41:42I have no expectations from you either
41:44Except hoping that you'll forgive me one day
41:46And accept me as part of Sadie's life
41:48And won't help you again
41:50Without running it by you first
41:52Okay?
41:54Mom sighed and sat down on the couch
41:56Okay, I need time to accept all this
41:58But I am willing to try for Sadie
42:00I'm sorry, honey
42:02I didn't realize the toll it was taking on you
42:04I sat down next to her
42:06And hugged her
42:08You know, Mom, I have an idea
42:10Let's go to Cuba to visit Grandma
42:12You haven't been home in the longest time
42:14And with your papers sorted out
42:16It won't be an issue now
42:18I really think we could use a break, don't you?
42:20Mom looked up at me and pressed my hand
42:22Let's do it
42:24It had been a crazy three days since Dad had made the announcement
42:26And with all the meetings, briefings, and press interviews
42:28I was coming back home really late every night
42:30Tonight, I'd come back a little early
42:32And I decided I just had to talk to Sadie
42:34Just as I was going over to her place
42:36The phone started ringing
42:38You need to come back to the office right now
42:40Is everything okay?
42:42No, it's not, but I can't discuss this over the phone
42:44Okay, I'll be right there
42:46And when I got to Biotech
42:48I was even more surprised to find Ace in Dad's office
42:50With two security guards standing next to him
42:52What's going on here?
42:54I had a feeling I couldn't trust your brother anymore
42:56And I was right
42:58I had one of my men approach Ace
43:00Acting like a competitor who was interested in buying the research you worked on
43:02For a lot of money
43:04And guess what? Ace made a deal with him
43:06I stared at Ace in shock
43:08Are you serious?
43:10I know you hate me, but you would really do that to Dad's company?
43:12What is your problem?
43:14Ace leapt from his chair
43:16About to attack me
43:18But the security men held him back
43:20My problem is that I'm just better than you
43:22I've always been better than you
43:24And you robbed me of something I've been dreaming of my whole life
43:26Ace, I don't know how to deal with you right now
43:28This is breaking my heart
43:30Even if I made Don the CEO
43:32I expected you to be by his side
43:34Helping him build the company up
43:36But you're too busy tearing him down
43:38And you don't even care about how it hurts me
43:40I'm sending you away to France
43:42To live with your mother
43:44I don't want you around
43:46Not until I can trust you again
43:48If I ever can
43:50Go home and pack your things
43:52Ace looked shocked
43:54Then stormed off with the security guards behind him
43:56I was still reeling from the news
43:58When I saw tons of missed calls from Clover
44:00I excused myself and called her back
44:02Oh my god, finally!
44:04Owl, can you please not shout?
44:06Come outside the office building, now!
44:08I rushed out to find Justin leaning against his car
44:10While Clover was pacing around impatiently
44:12What's going on?
44:14Why are you two here, together?
44:16She can't drive
44:18And she forced me to bring her here
44:20Because the princess couldn't take the bus
44:22And it's some sort of emergency
44:24Can you please shut up?
44:26Dom, Sadie's leaving
44:28Margot threatened her
44:30You have to talk to her
44:32Well, to Sadie, not Margot
44:34Well, also Margot
44:36Tell that witch to buzz off
44:38What are you even saying?
44:40And then Clover thrust an envelope in my hands
44:42I opened it and was shocked to find pictures of Margot
44:44With bruises on her arms
44:46What is this?
44:48Margot sent these to Sadie
44:50She's been threatening Sadie to stay away from you
44:52Or she'll make these public and say you hurt her
44:54She is insane
44:56And I broke up with her a few days ago anyway
44:58Well, I guess she still doesn't want to see you and Sadie be happy together
45:00Which, by the way, if you want to be
45:02You gotta tell her something right now
45:04Like right now, before she takes a plane to Cuba
45:06Sadie is going to Cuba?
45:08You've been really busy
45:10And Sadie has been dealing with a lot
45:12So she and her mom are going to Cuba for a month
45:14To take a break from all of it
45:16She told me to give you this file after she was gone
45:18But I thought you should know everything right away
45:20And you shouldn't let her go without talking to her
45:22Also, FYI, she never liked Ace
45:24Dude, just go to the airport and talk to Sadie
45:26So this weirdo can stop talking
45:28My mind was all over the place
45:30But I just had to focus on one thing
45:32Catch Sadie before her flight
45:34Okay, okay, I'm off, thanks
45:36Wish me luck
45:38And with that, I sped off in my car
45:40Do I need to drop you off home too?
45:42I have an important game to get to
45:44Oh my god, I play this too
45:46Wait, you're Unbeatable Beast?
45:48For real? I've been beating your butt for weeks
45:50Your sharks can't poop?
45:52Yep, come on, drive me home
45:54And we'll stop by for ice cream on the way
45:56I'll teach you some of my winning tricks
45:58Crazy girl
46:00Mom and I had just gotten through the long security lines at the airport
46:02And I was about to switch my phone to airplane mode
46:04When I noticed a bunch of missed calls from Dominic
46:06Just then, I heard someone shouting
46:08Sadie, wait!
46:10Sadie, please, wait!
46:12As he ran up to me, I stared at him in shock
46:14Dom, what are you doing here?
46:16I, I, oh god
46:18Oh god, I need to catch my breath
46:20Okay, I'm fine
46:22Listen, how could you just leave
46:24Without talking to me for a month?
46:26You've been ignoring me for weeks
46:28What's another month?
46:30Sadie, I'm so sorry, I was really stupid
46:32I, I just got really jealous
46:34Seeing you and Ace together
46:36I think he led me to believe some things that weren't true
46:38And yes, I was flattered by Margo's attention
46:40But I think I just agreed to go out with her
46:42Just because you were seeing Ace
46:44Also, Clover told me Margo was threatening you
46:46And I'll take care of that
46:48Also, I broke up with her a few days ago
46:50It just never felt right
46:52Because, well
46:54I've been in love with you for a while
46:56And it's okay if you don't feel the same way
46:58I just had to tell you
47:00I threw my arms around him
47:02I think I feel the same way about you, dummy
47:04You think?
47:06Aw, you guys, this is so sweet
47:08Sorry to interrupt, but it's the final boarding call
47:10Unless, Sadie, you don't want to go?
47:12Oh, no mom, of course not
47:14You don't have to, love
47:16You can stay with Clover
47:18Or your dad
47:20You'd be okay with that?
47:22Wait, your dad?
47:24See, you two have a lot of catching up to do
47:26And yes, I'll be okay with that, Sadie
47:28I'll see you in a month
47:30Dom and I waved her goodbye as she left for her flight
47:32Then we turned to each other
47:34Feeling kind of awkward
47:36This feels a bit weird, right?
47:38A little, but weird in a good way
47:40I agree
47:42Sadly, Dom smiled at me warmly
47:44And I just couldn't help pulling him in for a kiss
47:46He kissed me back
47:48And it felt just right
