00:00Down, I was known as the most beautiful and most expensive prostitute.

00:03Every day, gold miners lined up, willing to spend a month's pay just to take their chances.

00:08But all I saw in their eyes was lust and greed.

00:10It made me feel nothing but disgust and emptiness.

00:12My body was a product, my soul already numb.

00:15Until one day, a stranger knocked on my door.

00:17His name was Mike, a humble farmer who offered double the price just to spend a night with me.

00:21He quietly told me he wanted to marry me.

00:23I'd heard those words too many times before, so I didn't take them seriously.

00:26But for the next three days, Mike kept coming back, paying double each time.

00:30He didn't rush to touch me.

00:31He just kept talking about his farm, the wheat fields under the sun, and the life he dreamed of.

00:35I couldn't help but scoff and said, I feel nothing for you.

00:38You're a dirt farmer.

00:41He froze for a moment.

00:42His face darkened, but he didn't argue, he just left quietly.

00:45Watching his lonely back, I felt a strange ache, something I hadn't felt before.

00:48The next day, I gathered my courage and begged Madam to let me go.

00:52But how could she let her golden goose walk free?

00:54She had her men beat me hard, blood mixed with tears.

00:57I was bruised, broken, hopeless.

00:59And Mike showed up again.

01:00When he saw what I looked like, he didn't hesitate.

01:03He handed over everything he had to buy my freedom.

01:05His eyes held no desire, only determination.

01:07He even got down on one knee and proposed on the spot.

01:10When I woke up, I was already at his farm.

01:12He gently tried to check my wounds, but I instinctively pulled away.

01:15I didn't trust anyone and couldn't bring myself to be vulnerable.

01:17Three weeks passed.

01:18One day, after he left the house, I quietly put on my old clothes and planned to head back to town.

01:22I hadn't gone far when I saw Mike chasing after me.

01:25I quickened my steps, thinking he'd try to stop me.

01:27I turned and slapped him, yelling.

01:30You don't own me!

01:33Mike didn't get angry.

01:34He simply said,

01:35That way is 19 miles back to the town you came from.

01:38This way is one mile home.

01:39There's food there and me waiting for you.

01:41His voice was calm but firm.

01:43I don't know why, but I chose to walk the one mile home.

01:45When I stepped inside, Mike didn't say a word.

01:48He just quietly knelt down and cleaned the wounds on my feet.

01:50I looked at his gentle face, and for the first time, I felt something warm inside.

01:54That night, I tried to repay him with my body, but he softly turned me down.

01:58He said he'd wait until the day I truly wanted to be with him.

02:01I had never met a man like this.

02:02He didn't rush.

02:03He just stayed.

02:04So I started learning how to be a real wife.

02:05In the days that followed, I gathered eggs from the chicken coop for the first time,

02:09tried fishing, even learned how to chop wood.

02:11I wasn't good at any of it, but for once, I felt peace.

02:13Without realizing it, I started to rely on him.

02:16Little by little, I opened up.

02:17Then one day, the neighbor's baby was born.

02:19Mike looked at the child with such warmth in his eyes, he clearly loved kids.

02:22But me, I could never have children again.

02:24I told him the truth, how I'd been abused years ago by a nobleman.

02:27It was a memory I had buried deep, never shared with anyone.

02:30But after hearing it, Mike didn't flinch.

02:32He simply said, there's nothing in this world that could make me stop loving you.

02:35Still, I felt unworthy of him.

02:37I wrote him a letter, left the wedding ring on the table, and slipped away from the farm.

02:41I didn't return to my old life.

02:42I got a job as a waitress in town.

02:44Day after day, I tried to let time wash everything away, especially my feelings for Mike.

02:47Four or five years passed.

02:49Maybe out of respect, he never came looking for me.

02:51But I never stopped thinking about him.

02:53Then one day, Mike's brother found me.

02:54He told me Mike hadn't been doing well.

02:56He'd spent all these years waiting and never moved on.

02:58After hearing that, I finally gathered the courage to head back.

03:01All those years, I wasn't running from Mike.

03:03I was running from the part of me that still longed to be loved.

03:05But this time, I'm done running.
