Short filmTranscript
00:00:01For 25 years, I was my husband's ghostwriter.
00:00:05I helped him become a best-selling author.
00:00:08But while I wrote page after page, he betrayed me.
00:00:13He was having an affair with another woman.
00:00:15And how did I find out?
00:00:17A kiss cam that caught them at a concert.
00:00:20He humiliated me in front of the whole world.
00:00:2425 years of marriage.
00:00:27Gone. Just like that.
00:00:33Have fun at the Real Play concert.
00:00:35I wish I could join you.
00:00:37Especially since tonight's our anniversary.
00:00:39It's a work thing, honey.
00:00:42Besides, you don't even like their music.
00:00:45Oh, actually, I do like-
00:00:46Honey, I gotta go.
00:00:48Can't wait for dinner. Make me, uh, something delicious.
00:00:51Okay, honey.
00:00:57Anne, Jonathan's new book is a masterpiece.
00:01:09If I were to guess, I'd say you probably had a pretty heavy part in writing the book.
00:01:13The least I could do is give you some credit, right?
00:01:15Henry, you know I don't like the spotlight.
00:01:17Plus, Jonathan's my husband.
00:01:19What's mine is his, and vice versa.
00:01:21I've already prepared everything for Jonathan to take over at CU.
00:01:24Anne, why publishing's your family business?
00:01:26I'm just looking over it on your behalf.
00:01:28We'll talk about this later.
00:01:30Gotta run, Henry.
00:01:31Have to call Jonathan to see what time he's coming home.
00:01:33That's weird.
00:01:47The concert should be over by now.
00:01:54Don't you want to answer your wife's call?
00:01:56She's so annoying.
00:01:58She cannot go a single day without calling to blab about some unimportant shit.
00:02:03Hang on, baby.
00:02:06Yes, honey.
00:02:07I just wanted to know if you'd be back soon. Dinner's almost ready.
00:02:11Okay, yes. I will be right home, honey.
00:02:16Alright.
00:02:18When was the last time you fucked your wife, Jonathan?
00:02:22It has been years.
00:02:25I can't stand her body anymore.
00:02:27Especially now that I have someone like you.
00:02:30You better be telling the truth.
00:02:32Oh, I swear on my life.
00:02:34You are the only woman I know.
00:02:40Fuck!
00:02:42Okay, either they're having an affair or just really, really shy.
00:02:46Okay, I got it, baby.
00:02:47I'm gonna go.
00:02:48I'm gonna catch you later.
00:02:49Okay.
00:02:50But you better divorce her soon.
00:02:52I'm sick of this.
00:02:54Olivia, I need you to hurry home.
00:02:55I need you to cover me in front of mom in case something goes wrong.
00:02:57No, I'm gonna explain when I get home.
00:02:59Just hurry home.
00:03:03Hi, honey.
00:03:04You're back.
00:03:06And just in time, dinner's ready.
00:03:08How was the concert?
00:03:09Was it fun?
00:03:10No, not really.
00:03:11You know how these work things are.
00:03:13Well, maybe next time I should join you,
00:03:15then it'll be more fun.
00:03:16Oh, come on.
00:03:17Let me have your coat.
00:03:25Oh, Olivia called.
00:03:27She said she'll be back soon.
00:03:30Oh, my God.
00:03:31Wait.
00:03:32That looks just like famous author Jonathan Asher.
00:03:35No way.
00:03:36Isn't he married?
00:03:37Who's he with?
00:03:38Oh, shit.
00:03:40Honey, did you hear me?
00:03:42Huh?
00:03:43What?
00:03:44I'm sorry, honey.
00:03:45What did you say?
00:03:46Olivia and Ken, they're gonna be joining us for dinner.
00:03:47Okay, that's great, honey.
00:03:48Honey.
00:04:09He may not have taken me to that real play concert, but he got me this beautiful necklace.
00:04:14I've chosen a good man to marry.
00:04:20Hey, Dad.
00:04:21It's the big sober anniversary today, right?
00:04:2425 years of marriage.
00:04:25Wow.
00:04:26Don't you think our amazing little housewife deserves a little something?
00:04:30Yes, of course.
00:04:33Anne, my angel.
00:04:35Whatever you do, do not forget you're not just my wife.
00:04:39You're my whole life.
00:04:46Thank you, my love.
00:04:47Hurry up and open it, Mom.
00:04:57A pen.
00:04:58Do you remember the last award ceremony I attended?
00:05:01I couldn't stop thinking about how much you've done for this family.
00:05:05So I picked up this pen in my hotel bed and I wrote about how much I missed you all night long.
00:05:12Wow.
00:05:13Dad, you're such a romantic.
00:05:15I noticed you write the same acknowledgement in every book to my most beloved Anne.
00:05:22Without you, none of this would be possible.
00:05:24You are my muse.
00:05:25Everyone writes acknowledgments is no big deal.
00:05:28What you need to learn, Ken, is that for a good wife, love is much more valuable than jewelry.
00:05:36Price, insignificant.
00:05:38You better not learn that from my dad.
00:05:41Look, I'm not some simple housewife that's going to be satisfied with a hotel pen and a left note.
00:05:47I'm a career woman and career women appreciate investment pieces.
00:05:57What's wrong with your mother?
00:05:58She's just being dramatic.
00:06:00Look, after all, she's only a housewife.
00:06:05Dad, allow me to raise a glass to you.
00:06:09Ever since you invited me to be your guest at your award ceremony, I actually have a contract at a Fortune 500 company.
00:06:16Let me also congratulate you, Mr. Asher, to the next CEO of Roy Publishing.
00:06:27No, maybe he got that necklace for Olivia.
00:06:30I shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions.
00:06:34Anne, is it just me or does this look kind of like your husband?
00:06:37Is Jonathan cheating on me?
00:06:38Is Jonathan cheating on me?
00:06:42Is Jonathan cheating on me?
00:06:43Is Jonathan cheating on me?
00:06:45Is Jonathan cheating on me?
00:06:47Anne.
00:06:48Lee.
00:06:48Lillianne, my muse, happy anniversary.
00:07:17Every book I write is a declaration of my love for you.
00:07:21You deserve only the finest gold and gems to adorn your precious body.
00:07:26Lillianne.
00:07:28Lillianne.
00:07:31To my most beloved Anne.
00:07:34He was never talking about me.
00:07:36Who is this woman?
00:07:37How could you use the book that I wrote to proclaim your love for another woman?
00:07:47Oh, come on.
00:07:50What is wrong with you, woman?
00:07:52Is this the work you've been so busy with?
00:07:54Who the hell is Lillianne?
00:07:57Did you go through my things?
00:07:59This is an invasion of my privacy.
00:08:00Oh, you're really going to turn this back around on me when you are the one who brought evidence of your affair into our home?
00:08:05Lillianne and I are professional acquaintances.
00:08:08We discuss art and literature.
00:08:09Every book I write is a declaration of my love for you.
00:08:14I shall ensure that only the finest gold and gems adorn your precious body.
00:08:19That is a literary reference, and that is something you would not understand.
00:08:22I suppose you're going to tell me that she finds it necessary to discuss your work dressed in lacy lingerie.
00:08:26I'm honest, you are.
00:08:28Anne, you're ruining our anniversary, and I am not going to just sit here and listen to your insane accusations.
00:08:34I'll be in my study.
00:08:39No, you don't.
00:08:40No, you don't.
00:08:40You are going to stand there.
00:08:41You are going to explain everything to me.
00:08:43Mom, calm down.
00:08:44This is all a big misunderstanding.
00:08:46Okay, Lillianne is a good person.
00:08:48Her and Dad have a professional relationship.
00:08:51You know her?
00:08:53You're going to defend some other woman?
00:08:55Mom, Lillianne is a literary agent at Roy Publishing House.
00:08:59Her and Dad work together.
00:09:00It's her job.
00:09:01Look, I get it.
00:09:02You've been a stay-at-home mom my whole life.
00:09:05Obviously, you don't know how the publishing world works.
00:09:07Wait a second.
00:09:10How long have you known about them?
00:09:15Olivia, you're my daughter.
00:09:16I carried you inside of me for nine months.
00:09:19I gave up everything for you.
00:09:21And as thanks you've been helping your father hide his affair from me, let it go!
00:09:25Clearly, you watch too many soap operas, and they build your head with crazy ideas.
00:09:30My own baby calling me crazy.
00:09:32Is that what you think, too?
00:09:36That I'm just some silly housewife with my head full of conspiracies?
00:09:40That I would stir up trouble for no reason?
00:09:42Well, it does seem like that's what ruined our anniversary.
00:09:46So, darling, maybe you should stick to the housework.
00:09:50Let us deal with the thinking.
00:09:52Stick to the housework.
00:09:53As if I haven't given up 25 years of my life for the both of you to keep you happy and healthy and fed.
00:10:01Did those pants fold themselves and jump on into your drawer?
00:10:04Did those shoes shine themselves three meals a day for 25 years?
00:10:11These hands have been soaked in detergent and grease and filth.
00:10:17Every day you two come home and you kick up your feet just knowing everything will be cared for.
00:10:21That I have taken care of every little detail.
00:10:24But for me, for the past 25 years, I have worked around the clock like a goddamn maid.
00:10:31Have I ever gotten a break? Ever!
00:10:37So, first you're mad about some imaginary affair.
00:10:41Then you're mad about how you have chosen to spend your life.
00:10:47You're a stay-at-home mom, Anne.
00:10:49A housewife.
00:10:50Cooking, cleaning, raising the kids.
00:10:53That's the job.
00:10:54That's what you're supposed to do.
00:10:55What, you want us to give you a medal?
00:10:56You're right. I did choose this life.
00:11:00And I have done my best to live up to my duties as a wife.
00:11:03So shouldn't you live up to your duties as a husband?
00:11:06At the very least, you should be faithful in your marriage.
00:11:09One that should be faithful is the one that depends on the other's paycheck.
00:11:14My God.
00:11:15How could you say something so hurtful?
00:11:19You want to embarrass yourself?
00:11:21In front of your daughter?
00:11:23Her husband?
00:11:23For 25 years, I have been working my ass off.
00:11:31While you have been sitting here, indulging in a life of luxury.
00:11:35You should be grateful.
00:11:36Between the two of us, who should really be grateful?
00:11:39Have you forgotten who helped take you from a nameless writer to a best-selling author?
00:11:45Mom, I think you need to calm down.
00:11:48Oh, I'm calm.
00:11:50Your father's the one who needs to watch himself.
00:11:52Are you threatening me?
00:11:53I'm reminding you, I'm the one who wrote all of those books.
00:12:00What, are you going to go out there?
00:12:02Tell the whole world you wrote my collected works?
00:12:04Who is going to believe a housewife?
00:12:07Especially one that's gone mad, which you clearly have.
00:12:10I'll just show them my manuscripts.
00:12:12All of them in my handwriting for all of your novels.
00:12:16The manuscripts.
00:12:18God, I bet that's something you keep locked up, safe and sound, huh?
00:12:21God forbid something should happen to the manuscripts.
00:12:23You burned my manuscripts.
00:12:31No, no, no, no, no.
00:12:39You burned my make-up scripts.
00:12:42I put 25 years of my heart into those.
00:12:45It wasn't Dad, Mom.
00:12:48It was me.
00:12:50And if you go and say anything,
00:12:53I'm gonna go and tell the press that you're a liar.
00:12:57Dad is about to become the CEO of Roy Publishing House.
00:13:03And if anything happens to his reputation,
00:13:06all of our contracts will be canceled
00:13:08and our entire family will take the hit.
00:13:11So this was all about your father becoming CEO.
00:13:15Wake up, Mom.
00:13:16This is the real world, not some soap opera.
00:13:19Why can't you just act like any other housewife
00:13:22and pretend it didn't happen?
00:13:24So why don't you just go and buy some clothes
00:13:27and get your fucking nails done?
00:13:29What are you trying to achieve by causing a scene like this?
00:13:37I want a divorce.
00:13:42I want a divorce.
00:13:45I don't want to be part of this traitorous family anymore.
00:13:48I'm drawing up the divorce papers.
00:13:50Soon you'll see who really provided for this family.
00:13:53Mom.
00:13:54Okay, let her go.
00:13:58Go ahead.
00:13:59See what the real world's all about.
00:14:00Two weeks time.
00:14:01She's gonna be back here.
00:14:03Begging me to take her back.
00:14:05Oh.
00:14:06I left some belongings in your suitcase.
00:14:10What do they look like?
00:14:12Ooh, they're red as flames.
00:14:16Soft to the touch.
00:14:18You need to hurry up over here and collect them.
00:14:21I'll only step foot in your house once I become your wife.
00:14:25You will be soon, honey.
00:14:27Have a little sneak preview in the meantime.
00:14:34Oh, my God.
00:14:37Baby, you look incredible.
00:14:39Years in advance for all that you promised me.
00:14:42Lily-Anne.
00:14:43My goddess.
00:14:44My muse.
00:14:45My goddess.
00:14:46My muse.
00:14:47Miss Roy.
00:14:48Mr. Henry's office is over here.
00:14:53Babe.
00:14:54Where'd you go?
00:14:55I just saw your wife walk into the CEO's office.
00:14:57Could she be trying to report our relationship?
00:14:58What?
00:14:59Anne.
00:15:00I just saw your wife walk into the CEO's office.
00:15:02Could she be trying to report our relationship?
00:15:03What?
00:15:04Anne.
00:15:05Hey, Anne.
00:15:06What a pleasant surprise.
00:15:07What's going on?
00:15:08Henry, I came here today to ask you to stay honest.
00:15:09I'm sorry.
00:15:10I'm sorry.
00:15:11I'm sorry.
00:15:12I'm sorry.
00:15:13I'm sorry.
00:15:14I'm sorry.
00:15:15I'm sorry.
00:15:16I'm sorry.
00:15:17I'm sorry.
00:15:18I'm sorry.
00:15:19I'm sorry.
00:15:20What?
00:15:21Anne.
00:15:22What a pleasant surprise.
00:15:23What's going on?
00:15:24Henry, I came here today to ask you to stay on as CEO.
00:15:27You've led this company to become what it is.
00:15:28There's no reason for you to leave.
00:15:29Yeah, but without your father's mentorship, I never would have come this far.
00:15:30I promised him that I would look after you.
00:15:31Roy is always meant to have been your company.
00:15:33Henry, I knew I could put my faith in you.
00:15:35Thank you, but...
00:15:36now it's time to return to its rightful owner.
00:15:37And per your request, I was just getting ready to call Jonathan to talk to him about taking
00:15:44over as CEO.
00:15:48The other reason that I came here today was to tell you to revoke that object.
00:15:56And he was sure that I'm gonna come to your company.
00:15:58I could put your faith in your company.
00:16:00the other reason that i came here today was to tell you to revoke that offer john and i are

00:21:26do you really want to demolish it all
00:21:29you said i was your life
00:21:31but then
00:21:33you turned around and embraced another woman

00:21:47i will tell you the whole truth
00:21:49it will be your very last chance
00:21:52what's the meaning of this
00:22:09jonathan

00:22:19are you sure about this
00:22:29oh
00:22:30i've already signed the papers

00:22:37but you've already written it off
00:22:39henry go ahead and announce his position as ceo
00:22:43but i will be adding one condition
00:22:45i'll be taking over as chairwoman again
00:22:47therefore
00:22:48any hiring that's done
00:22:50such as ceo
00:22:51will require my approval
00:22:53are you in such a hurry to kick me out
00:22:56what a shame
00:22:59i was thinking about giving you all a second chance
00:23:03oh stop bluffing
00:23:04your truth is
00:23:05you could come in here
00:23:05you could crawl
00:23:06beg me
00:23:08i'd never let you back in this house
00:23:10mom
00:23:11it's one thing to throw a tantrum at home
00:23:14but it's a different thing entirely
00:23:15to cause a scene at the company
00:23:17a dad is a public figure
00:23:19you almost destroyed his career
00:23:20and you think he's going to be willing to reconcile
00:23:23exactly
00:23:24anne
00:23:25you shouldn't have tried to expose mr asher
00:23:27for using a ghost writer
00:23:29he might have let you stay
00:23:31and write more books for him
00:23:33jonathan
00:23:35you know deep down inside
00:23:38that without me

00:23:40do you really think
00:23:43that i need to rely on writing for a living
00:23:45soon the entire company will be mine
00:23:48so you really think that you'll be unstoppable
00:23:51once you're ceo
00:23:52is that why you're in such a hurry
00:23:54to get rid of me
00:23:54the faithful wife
00:23:56who stood by your side
00:23:58through thick and thin
00:23:59and trade me in for some
00:24:01shiny new toy
00:24:03what or who i play with

00:24:09over your head for years
00:24:11i can forgive your ungratefulness

00:24:30you would still be an unpublished wannabe
00:24:33and not the next ceo of roy publishing
00:24:35your storytelling skills have
00:24:37really gone down the drain
00:24:39mom you should really stop with the soap opera shit

00:25:00brood of a man to be my husband like him
00:25:02for having a thankless
00:25:04daughter like you

00:25:53to its terms
00:25:54dad's assets aren't pocket change
00:25:56you can't just take half
00:25:57especially since they'll

00:34:30hurry up answer it
00:34:32yeah and put it on speaker
00:34:33so someone
00:34:34can hear what the ceo really has to say
00:34:37hello
00:34:39mr harper
00:34:40yeah i told you you're gonna be in a meeting with hr
00:34:42where the hell you're off to you idiot
00:34:44hi
00:34:52mr harper i'm at mr asher's house
00:34:55i told you to stop that meeting with hr
00:34:57did you skip out in work hours
00:34:58didn't you take to inform mr asher
00:35:01i told you i would personally inform him
00:35:04you

00:35:09i'm sorry

00:35:13i'll be there soon
00:35:15stay right where you are
00:35:17uh yes sir
00:35:18what's wrong
00:35:28yeah the ceo didn't sound too happy
00:35:31nothing's wrong
00:35:34i was just in such a rush to share the good news
00:35:38i completely forgot that mr harper actually wanted to personally tell you
00:35:44so he's actually on his way
00:35:46whoa whoa the ceo is personally coming to my house to announce me as his successor
00:35:53but it's like i said you didn't have that authority
00:35:56if the ceo is coming here to congratulate dad personally
00:36:00i think he respects him
00:36:03of course he does
00:36:04your father is a best-selling author and renowned in the industry
00:36:09it's only fitting that he succeeds as the next ceo
00:36:13oh my my my
00:36:16i think you're all mistaken
00:36:18you see the ceo is only coming here because the chairwoman asked him to
00:36:24jonathan's appointment as ceo
00:36:26well ultimately that decision lies with her
00:36:30what chairwoman
00:36:32lily does
00:36:33roy publishing house even have a chairwoman
00:36:36not that i know of

00:36:48is me
00:36:50drop the act mom like do you even know what a chairwoman does
00:37:10oh she probably asked chat gpt
00:37:12and please you gotta stop flaunting your ignorance
00:37:18when we were younger we called it naivete
00:37:20but now that you're old and washed up and haggard
00:37:22it's just plain foolishness
00:37:24she probably read so many trashy novels
00:37:28she can't even keep up with reality anymore
00:37:31she's stuck
00:37:32in her own fantasy world
00:37:34that's what it is
00:37:36she's delusional
00:37:37okay yeah i can play along with that
00:37:41greetings chairwoman ann

00:51:53and you've done everything for them
00:52:00it's them who let you down
00:52:03to get rid of jonathan's influence
00:52:15i think we should have a board meeting
00:52:17to announce your return
00:52:18i agree
00:52:19and then you need to go public
00:52:20and let them know that you were his ghost writer
00:52:22and get your copyrights back
00:52:25let me think about it
00:52:29well the novel foundation already called
00:52:30and they said he's the frontrunner to win this year
00:52:32we cannot let him keep making money off false pretenses
00:52:35it's time to take back what's yours
00:52:36henry
00:52:37i said just give me some time to think
00:52:40and you're too nice
00:52:42you might give in again
00:52:43but jonathan won't
00:52:45what kind of a psychopath hides their identity for decades
00:52:53you know what
00:52:54i bet she did this just so she doesn't have to share her assets with us
00:52:58she was just a boring housewife mopping floors yesterday but now she's a chairwoman of a top publishing company
00:53:03this must be a joke
00:53:05oh god
00:53:10hold your horses
00:53:13we can still turn this around
00:53:14anne is just a housewife
00:53:17she's got no experience
00:53:18there's no way
00:53:20she can handle the position of chairwoman
00:53:21surely the company must be falling apart by now
00:53:24what are you planning
00:53:26well
00:53:30i've received an invitation from the nobel prize foundation
00:53:37you two are looking at the future winner of a nobel prize in literature
00:53:45and when i take the stage and give my acceptance speech
00:53:48i am going to announce that anne and henry are having a scandalous affair
00:53:54and when their reputations are completely destroyed
00:53:57and the company's stocks crash
00:53:59the board members are going to be begging me
00:54:03to take over
00:54:05and your decision to reverse jonathan's appointment to ceo
00:54:19has already affected this company's stocks
00:54:22we understand the roy family holds the majority of shares
00:54:27but you're still responsible for the rest of the shareholders
00:54:31we members of the board
00:54:33wish for you to resign as a chairwoman
00:54:38you're trying to fire anne?
00:54:42is this because of jonathan's meddling?
00:54:44disgusting little man
00:54:45the revenue from mr asher's books accounts for about 40% of this company's profits
00:54:52additionally since he is poised to win the nobel prize
00:54:56his market value is about to skyrocket soon
00:55:00we cannot lose a cash cow like jonathan asher
00:55:05ms roy must make up for this loss
00:55:09i'll take back the copyrights
00:55:16how is that possible
00:55:22who in their right mind would ever hand over a golden egg to their ex-wife
00:55:27i am more than just jonathan's ex-wife
00:55:34i am anne roy
00:55:37i have achieved everything that i've ever set my mind to
00:55:40and i have done so without relying on jonathan for a single penny
00:55:43i admire your courage
00:55:47but our trust comes with a price
00:55:51okay
00:55:54sign this agreement stating that if you do not get back the copyrights
00:56:06all of your stock holdings will be turned over to us
00:56:11i am roy hereby agreed to the terms of this agreement
00:56:39in 24 hours i will take back the copyrights
00:56:43if i cannot i shall willingly forfeit the entirety of my shares
00:56:47it's a deal
00:56:58we look forward to the results
00:57:02man that was foolish
00:57:13jonathan's an egotistical little man
00:57:15he'll stop at nothing to save his reputation
00:57:18he's never going to admit that you were his ghostwriter
00:57:20how are you going to get those copyrights back
00:57:23i have the evidence in my possession
00:57:25and also i have a backup plan
00:57:28that's where you come in

01:03:43now you're gonna be the laughing stock of the entire publishing world
01:03:46miss roy you really shouldn't have gone against us
01:03:50your biggest mistake was believing you were more than just a
01:03:54sheltered housewife
01:03:56so because i was a housewife you all think it's okay to humiliate me
01:04:02i mean look around mom
01:04:04everyone's here because they believe in dad
01:04:08his reputation
01:04:10his prestige
01:04:11they all just want to revel in his success
01:04:15you know the company can't survive without him
01:04:19so you're all here to grab a piece of jonathan asher's glorious reputation

01:04:32what does she mean by that
01:04:39oh she's a lonely vengeful ex-wife
01:04:43trying to bleed her ex-husband dry
01:04:46how pathetic
01:04:48i'm guessing that she neglected her husband during their marriage
01:04:53and now that she's tossed aside
01:04:55she's finally regretting it
01:04:57what an ignorant woman
01:04:58jonathan did you forget how your books were actually written
01:05:05the acknowledgements you wrote at the front
01:05:08the acknowledgements were written for me
01:05:10i'm jonathan's real muse
01:05:13after he ditched his basic boring housewife like you
01:05:18now jonathan can be inspired
01:05:20to write even better novels
01:05:23oh his real muse
01:05:28that's beautiful

01:06:00but don't worry
01:06:01i can do that right now
01:06:02the truth
01:06:04is that the copyrights to jonathan asher's novels

01:06:10that's right
01:06:18the copyrights were transferred to me
01:06:21we wanted to make sure you didn't get one cent from the royalties
01:06:25you transferred the copyrights to your mistress
