00:00Hey everyone, I'm Sophie from France.
00:02If you think you've had some misfortune in love, well, I promise my story will make
00:06you think your romantic life isn't so bad.
00:09But first, please like and subscribe.
00:11I was born in a super rich family, and our mansion by the beach looked like a fairytale
00:15castle.
00:16I used to play hide and seek in the garden maze with our maids, and my dad bought me
00:20a stunning white pony, which I rode all over the huge grounds.
00:23Princess, your smile lights up my world, and I will never let you down.
00:28He lied, big time.
00:30When I was in fourth grade, his company was accused of financial fraud.
00:33Dad managed to avoid being jailed, but we lost everything.
00:37My pony was sold, and we moved to an ordinary house in an average neighborhood.
00:41After that, my parents argued every single day, and soon they got divorced.
00:46Dad left us and never looked back.
00:47He never even sent a card on my birthday.
00:50Mom started a new life and started dating another man.
00:52I had no choice but to move on, too, and I quickly made friends with kids in my new neighborhood.
00:57Although I enjoyed playing with them, I struggled to come up with ideas for games,
01:01so I preferred to follow the rest.
01:02One of the kids, Tom, was a natural leader.
01:05He often told us what to do, playing an admiral, a king, or even my future husband.
01:09Sophie, when we grow up, you will marry me.
01:12Um, okay.
01:13We all played outside till it was dark, and Tom often walked me back home, which was sweet.
01:17But over time, his behavior started to get strange.
01:21Like once when he had to go visit his grandma for a week, he told me not to play with anyone
01:24else while he was gone.
01:26We were also in the same class at school, and I loved making friends and joking around
01:30with everyone, but it seemed to bother Tom a lot.
01:33Sophie, stop being so friendly with everyone.
01:36It's annoying.
01:37Nobody seems annoyed except you, Tom.
01:39In middle school, a cute boy sent me a card on Valentine's Day saying,
01:43You brightened my day, and it made me so happy.
01:45But the next day, when I tried giving him a chocolate, he ran away terrified, like he'd seen a ghost.
01:50Of course, Tom was behind this.
01:52I was getting sick of him, and even tried creating distance between us, but he didn't take the hint.
01:57If I didn't walk with him to school, he just followed me.
02:00He'd turn up at my house whenever he pleased, and if I didn't talk to him, he'd just sit in my room for hours watching me.
02:06I told Mom not to let him in anymore, but she always said he was the sweetest friend I had.
02:10Once in high school, I decided to sneak out to a party late at night, but I was more worried about keeping it a secret from Tom than my own mother.
02:17Thankfully, I didn't encounter him on the way, and I was ready to have fun, but every single boy I asked to dance with me turned me down.
02:24Okay, can someone please explain what's going on? I'm pretty, and cool, and yeah, pretty. Why don't you boys want to dance with me?
02:31Because your boyfriend isn't gonna like it. I followed his sideway glance to see freaking Tom watching me from a corner.
02:38Tom, are you stalking me? And stop telling people you're my boyfriend.
02:42It's dangerous for you to be out alone so late, so of course I followed you, and I never said I'm your boyfriend. I'm your fiancé.
02:48You accepted my proposal, remember? We were nine years old! Listen, we are not dating or engaged, and I don't need your protection.
02:56You need to back off. I'm warning you. I should have stopped this nonsense a long time ago, but to be honest, I was a bit scared of Tom.
03:03But now, I really needed to send him a clear message that I was not his property. So the next day, I asked the strongest guy in school to date me.
03:11It started out well, but on the third day, my boyfriend disappeared. He broke up with me on the phone and didn't come to school, and soon I heard he'd left the city.
03:19Now, I was officially untouchable. Although I was furious with Tom, I still cared about him, and he obviously needed help.
03:27Listen, Tom, you're my friend, and I think you really need therapy. You seem to be obsessed with me.
03:33No, I'm not crazy. Does being in love seem like madness to you? It's not love. It's an obsession.
03:39But he didn't seem to get it, and I didn't know what to do anymore. Fortunately, Mom offered a temporary escape.
03:45Sophie, we've been invited to vacation anytime at this beautiful villa owned by the son of an old friend. How about we go away now? It could be a nice break.
03:53I was only too happy to accept. The owner of the villa, Pierre, seemed to be only five to six years older than me.
03:59He'd inherited his father's business and was already a millionaire. As soon as he saw us, he smiled brightly, and his gaze was fixed on me.
04:06I felt myself blush. Pierre was a really charming gentleman. We spent the whole day together enjoying his amazing place.
04:13He revealed to me that a year ago, he'd been in a terrible accident that had caused him amnesia.
04:18I couldn't even remember my parents' names, and I felt so lost. It was a really dark time, and I...
04:23I zoned out as the wheels in my brain started turning. Amnesia. Yes, this could be the perfect solution for getting rid of Tom.
04:31Well, I'm glad you're fine now, but on the upside, it must have been good to forget bad things.
04:36Oh, trust me. There's nothing good about it, and it took a while to recover.
04:40Maybe faking amnesia was a bad idea, but it was the only shot I had at getting my life back.
04:45So the next day, I was busy looking for an opportunity to fall and act like I had amnesia.
04:50And it presented itself when Tom suggested that we go horse riding. I chose the wildest horse, named Terror.
04:56We went riding along the coast and watched a lovely sunset. I knew we'd be heading back soon, and I had to execute my plan now.
05:03I haven't ridden a horse in years.
05:05I remember I visited once, and you had the loveliest ivory pony.
05:09My muumuu. Yeah, my parents had to sell it.
05:12That's a shame. You loved it so much.
05:14I was trying to force Terror to rear up, but this horse was just not listening to me.
05:18Sometimes that life just feels like it was all a dream.
05:21But you can return to this dream, Sophie, if you want.
05:24What?
05:25Just then, the horse reared up, and I let go of the reins and fell to the ground. The world spun around me.
05:30The last thing I saw was Pierre's worried face before I blacked out. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself lying in a hospital bed.
05:37How do you feel?
05:38I... I don't know. What happened? Where am I? Where's muumuu?
05:42Yeah, so I pretended that I didn't remember life after I was six. I didn't remember getting poor, or dad leaving us, or any of my childhood friends, including Dom.
05:51My fall was an accident, but Pierre blamed himself for letting me ride that unruly horse.
05:56He begged us to stay at his villa so I could recover in peace, and Mom and I were pretty thrilled at the idea.
06:01Pretending to have amnesia? I acted like a child the first few days, which was quite funny.
06:06I did all sorts of silly things, like hiding in the garden and asking Pierre to find me, then jumping out and scaring him.
06:13I even drew a mustache on his face while he was sleeping.
06:16Pierre was dedicated to helping me recover my memory, and did all sorts of mental exercises with me.
06:21And he pampered me... a lot. He had his cooks make my favorite meals, took me to his private cinema often, and bought me anything I wanted at the mall.
06:29And I really got to know him better. His eyes lit up when he talked about how his company was helping build schools for kids in Africa, where he went often.
06:36Pierre was the complete opposite of Tom. He was kind and gentle. And being around him, I felt safe. And I knew I was really falling for him.
06:46But the guilt of lying about my amnesia was eating away at me. I'd have to tell him the truth eventually. But would he forgive me?
06:52A few weeks later, the doctor said I seemed well, but my memory would take time to return. I'd already missed a lot of school, so Mom and I decided to go back.
07:00Pierre had to deal with some business abroad, but he promised to visit us soon. And when we got home, Tom appeared at our door in five minutes.
07:07Where have you been? Why did you leave without saying a word? How could you not reply to me?
07:11Um, are you sure you're at the right house? Who are you? Huh? What is this dumb game, Sophie?
07:17Mom told him everything about my amnesia, and Tom was shocked. Then he got angry and refused to believe Mom, but she firmly told him not to stress me out and leave our house.
07:27The next day at school, everyone found out about my amnesia and asked me stupid questions, like if I still remembered how to read or write.
07:34Tom followed me around, watching me, but he didn't say a word. But that afternoon, as I headed out of school, he confronted me.
07:41Enough of this nonsense, Sophie. I'm not buying your stupid act.
07:44Look, I'm sorry if you were someone important to me, but I really don't remember you. I'm sorry.
07:50How could you forget me? I've loved you since we were nine. I've been by your side every day since. How could all that just disappear?
07:58No, I refuse to accept that. I'll remind you of every memory till it comes back to you.
08:03He grabbed me by the arms, and I started to panic. Leave me alone. Just let me be. Help. Someone please help me.
08:09Some people watching the whole scene called the police, and the police ordered a restraining order against Tom.
08:15My plan had worked. I felt both relieved and guilty. I knew I'd gone too far, but it was the only way.
08:21After that, Tom kept his distance, but I could still feel his eyes on me from the shadows. My only hope was to graduate and leave this place and Tom behind soon. For good.
08:30A few weeks passed, and I was already missing Pierre a lot. I texted him several times, but he didn't answer.
08:36Maybe he was just really busy, or maybe I'd misread some signs, and he didn't feel the same way about me.
08:41I was looking for something to occupy myself, and decided to sign up as a volunteer with some friends at the Nice Carnival, a major music event raising funds for charity.
08:49As soon as we were done setting up the sound system on the stage, the announcer stepped up to the mic.
08:54Before we start the performances, I'd like everyone to welcome up our generous sponsor, who's made this event possible and donated $10 million to our purpose.
09:03Give him a great round of applause. Mr. Pierre with his lovely fiancée, Beth.
09:08My heart sank to my toes when I saw Pierre step on stage with a beautiful brunette on his arm. As he spoke a few words, I couldn't stop staring at them. Not even a girlfriend, a fiancée!
09:19Just then our eyes met, and it hurt to realize how deeply I was in love with Pierre. I quickly turned away and started to run.
09:25When I was far enough, I sat on some porch and just cried. I had no right to be mad at Pierre since I was a liar, and he never said he loved me, but I still felt betrayed.
09:34Sophie, can I sit near you?
09:36Yes, Tom.
09:38That guy on stage? I saw how you looked at him. You're in love with him, aren't you?
09:41Suddenly, I just broke down and told him everything. How I'd been scared of him and faked my amnesia.
09:46Tom, I never said you were crazy, but your behavior isn't okay, and you made me feel suffocated.
09:51I know I've been a little intense, but it's only because I care about you so much, Sophie. I've loved you since the first time I met you.
09:58But caring about someone doesn't mean not respecting their boundaries, and you can't force someone to love you back.
10:04You can't hold on to an obsession for years and expect it to turn into a healthy relationship.
10:08I know you're right, but I don't know what to do, Sophie. I can't help how I feel.
10:12That's why I think therapy could help you, Tom. You really deserve to be happy, but it can't be at the expense of someone else's well-being.
10:19You need to learn to let go and move on. Tom promised that he'd try therapy, and I felt like someday we could be friends again.
10:26Pierre's calls and texts were endless, but I refused to answer them. But one day, a strange sound caught my attention.
10:32It was a helicopter landing in the fields behind our house, and Pierre came out of it. What are you doing here, Pierre?
10:38Fighting for the love of my life. That's you, in case it wasn't clear.
10:42Those are strange words for a man with a fiancé. Please, I just need a few minutes to explain.
10:47Pierre then told me that his dad had laid a condition on him to find a girl to marry before he could take over the family business.
10:53So Pierre had proposed to a girl he wasn't in love with just to please his father. But the pressure to settle on a date for marriage had been too much for him, and he'd escaped to his family villa for a break.
11:04That's when I met you, Sophie, and everything changed. I realized that I'd made a huge mistake. When you left, I went back and ended things with my ex-fiancé.
11:12We had committed to the nice carnival as a couple, so we decided to go through with it together.
11:16I know I should have answered your texts or told you earlier, but I was scared of losing you. I wanted to explain everything after it was over.
11:22Pierre, I don't know what to say.
11:24Say you'll forgive me, Sophie, and give me a chance to make it up to you.
11:27Before that, I need to tell you something too, and you may not want to talk to me after this.
11:32I told him the plain truth about Tom and my fake amnesia. The worst part is that I knew you really suffered because of amnesia, and faking it was completely out of line. I'm so sorry, Pierre.
11:43Is that stalker still bothering you?
11:45No, I've dealt with it. He's going to get therapy, and wait, why are you laughing?
11:50I can't believe you put on an act for weeks. You should look into a career as an actress.
11:54We both burst out laughing like crazy.
11:57When we finally caught our breath, he took my hand and kissed me.
