00:00My name is Julie. I am 27 years old. I work in a busy office every day.

00:08My boss is a man named Austin. He is tall and strong. Everyone in the office respect him a lot.

00:18He was good at his job and always fair. I respected him too, just like everyone else.

00:27But I felt something more for Austin.

00:30I loved him. This was not an office crush. It was a deep feeling in my heart.

00:38I knew he was married. His wife's name was Lara.

00:43Everyone in the office knew about Lara. They often talked about her, but I tried not to listen.

00:50Knowing he was married did not stop my feelings. I could not control my heart.

00:58Every time he spoke to me, my heart beat faster. I watched him from my desk.

01:06He was always busy, but sometimes he would look at me and smile.

01:13One day, Austin started talking to me more. He asked me about my work.

01:19Then he started to talk about his life.

01:23He told me about his marriage to Lara. He said,

01:28Lara does not love me anymore. We live in the same house, but we don't feel close anymore.

01:36We are like strangers.

01:38He said these things many times. I felt sad for him.

01:44He said I was special. He said I was the only one who understood him.

01:50He told me that his home life was unhappy. He said he felt lonely.

01:56He looked at me with sad eyes, and I wanted to help him.

02:02I wanted to make him happy. He said I was kind and understanding.

02:08I began to think that maybe, just maybe, Austin would leave Lara.

02:15Austin started to call me into his office more often.

02:19He would close the door. He shared many secrets with me.

02:23Soon, we started to meet after work.

02:28We would go to quiet places.

02:31It felt like time stopped when I was with him.

02:35One night, he said,

02:37I need you, Julie.

02:38When he said these words,

02:41I believed him completely.

02:43I thought it was true love.

02:46I felt happy and a little bit scared.

02:49He said his wife, Lara, did not care about him.

02:53He said she was not kind to him.

02:58Each time I trusted him more, I gave him my heart.

03:02I was ready to wait for him to be free.

03:05I did not know how long it would be.

03:08I did not care.

03:11Three years passed.

03:13I continued to wait for Austin.

03:16He told me that he would leave Lara very soon.

03:19He said the time was coming.

03:23But then he always found a new reason to wait a little longer.

03:29He said his children were still too young to understand such a big change in their family.

03:37Other times, he told me Lara was not well and he could not leave her during her difficult time.

03:48Each new excuse made my heart feel heavy.

03:53But I believed him.

03:55Many nights, I was alone in my small apartment.

03:58But Austin still made time for me.

04:03He still met me after work.

04:05I told myself every day, one day I will be his wife.

04:10One morning, Austin came to me.

04:14He looked very happy.

04:16Lara left me, he said.

04:18My heart began to beat fast.

04:21I could not believe what I heard.

04:23Austin smiled at me.

04:26Now I can marry you, Julie, he said.

04:29I was so happy.

04:31I had waited for this moment for many, many years.

04:35He wanted me to be his wife.

04:38I felt so special.

04:40I said yes.

04:42We decided to marry quickly.

04:45It was a small wedding.

04:46Only a few close people were there.

04:50Finally, I was his wife.

04:52Every morning, Austin would kiss me.

04:55He would tell me,

04:57I love you, my dear wife.

04:59I felt safe with him.

05:02I was not alone anymore.

05:04Austin was with me every single day.

05:07He was my husband.

05:09I was so happy to be his wife.

05:12I believed we would be together forever.

05:16But after some time,

05:18things began to change.

05:20Austin was not looking at me with the same kind eyes.

05:26Sometimes when we were out,

05:28he looked at other women.

05:31He seemed busy even when he was home.

05:35One evening,

05:36Austin left his phone on the table.

05:39He went to take a shower.

05:41My heart was beating fast.

05:44I knew it was wrong,

05:45but I picked up the phone.

05:47I opened his messages.

05:51My hands were shaking.

05:53There were many messages to a new woman.

05:57Her name was Lisa.

06:00Austin wrote,

06:01You are so special to me,

06:03and I cannot stop thinking about you.

06:07They were the same words he once told me.

06:10My heart broke.

06:12When Austin came back,

06:14I showed him the phone.

06:17Austin?

06:19I asked.

06:20Who is she?

06:21Why are you sending these messages?

06:25He looked at me with cold eyes.

06:28He did not look like the man I married.

06:32He did not look like the man I loved.

06:34He took the phone from my hand.

06:38Julie,

06:39he said,

06:40You worry too much.

06:42There is nothing to see here.

06:44I understood in that moment

06:46that I was not his only one.

06:49I was just another woman.

06:52His love felt like a lie.

06:54I felt alone,

06:56even though he was in the same room.

06:58I thought about Lara,

07:01his first wife.

07:02I knew she was his wife before me.

07:05I wondered if he had told her the same lies.

07:09I wanted to speak to Lara.

07:12I asked old friends from the office.

07:15They told me where she lived.

07:17I called her.

07:21I said my name was Julie,

07:24and I needed to talk about Austin.

07:26Lara agreed to meet me.

07:28We met at a cafe.

07:31Hello, Julie,

07:32Lara said.

07:33I began to speak.

07:35I told her my story.

07:37I was with Austin for many years.

07:40He told me he loved me.

07:42He said you did not care for him.

07:45I believed him.

07:47He asked me to marry him.

07:49I was so happy.

07:50But now he is doing the same things.

07:53He sends messages to another woman.

07:57He uses the same words.

07:59My heart is broken.

08:01When I finished,

08:03Lara took a deep breath.

08:06Julie,

08:07she said.

08:08Austin told me the same things.

08:10He told me he loved me.

08:12He promised me a happy life.

08:15He said beautiful words to me,

08:17just like he said to you.

08:20But he also betrayed me.

08:22He cheated on me many times.

08:26I found out about other women.

08:29I felt the same pain you feel now.

08:32He lied to me just like he lied to you.

08:36Lara was not my enemy.

08:39She was a woman who knew my pain.

08:42We were two women hurt by the same man.

08:46We both felt the same pain because of Austin.

08:51I was not alone anymore.

08:54We wanted to show everyone the real Austin.

08:58We told the people who needed to know.

09:01His friends,

09:02his business partners.

09:05These were the people who trusted him.

09:08They believed he was a good man.

09:12But he was not.

09:13Slowly,

09:14Austin's life began to change.

09:19His business partners began to lose their trust in him.

09:24They did not want to work with a man who lied so much.

09:28Austin's business began to fail.

09:31One day,

09:32Austin came to me.

09:35He was very angry.

09:37His face was red.

09:39He shouted,

09:40Why are you doing this, Julie?

09:43He could not understand why his life was changing so fast.

09:48I looked at him.

09:50I was not afraid.

09:51Because you broke my heart, Austin,

09:56I said.

09:57You lied to me for many years.

09:59You lied to Laura, too.

10:02You destroyed both of our lives.

10:05You made us wait.

10:07You made us believe your false promises.

10:12You took our happiness away.

10:15His face turned white.

10:17He saw that I was not the same, Julie.

10:22He saw that I was strong.

10:25He knew he could not control me anymore.

10:29Laura and I began to spend more time together.

10:33We helped each other heal.

10:35We were good friends now.

10:38True love needs honesty.

10:40Austin's love was never honest.

10:43It was built on many lies.

10:46And that is why it could not last.

10:49I am not waiting for a man anymore to make my life complete.

10:55I am living for myself.

10:58I know I can do anything now.

11:01This is my new life and it is just beginning.
