00:00My name is Stella. I am 20 years old and live in Austin, Texas.

00:07I come from a simple and respectful family.

00:11My mother always told me, never trust people too fast.

00:16Some mistakes can never be erased.

00:20But I was young. I did not listen.

00:24I made a big mistake that I can never forget.

00:28We had a helper at home. His name was Brandon.

00:32He was 23 years old. He was kind and handsome.

00:38He cleaned the house and took care of the garden.

00:43He had a hard life when he was young.

00:46I always saw sadness in his eyes.

00:49He looked at me many times, but I did not think much about it.

00:54One day, after I came home from college, I went to my room to change my clothes.

01:02I forgot to close the door properly.

01:04Then, I saw Brandon standing there looking at me.

01:11I felt really ashamed, but I said nothing.

01:14I don't know why I stayed quiet.

01:18Maybe I was scared or just confused.

01:21He smiled in a strange way and laughed like it was no big deal.

01:26But after that moment, something inside me changed.

01:31After that day, we started talking in secret.

01:36He gave me attention.

01:38He looked at me and said,

01:40You are so beautiful.

01:43I thought it was love, but I was very wrong.

01:47He made me smile.

01:49He once said,

01:50I am not your status, but status cannot stop love.

01:56We laughed together.

01:58We ate food when no one was home.

02:01I felt happy with him.

02:03But one night, everything changed.

02:07That night when everyone was asleep,

02:10Brandon came into my room.

02:13I made the biggest mistake of my life.

02:17I crossed a line.

02:18We were close, and he recorded it saying,

02:23This is just for memories.

02:26One day we will smile watching this.

02:30I believed him because I truly thought he loved me.

02:35But I did not know he was only playing games with my heart.

02:40After some days, he left me without saying goodbye.

02:45I could not eat.

02:47I could not sleep.

02:50My parents said Brandon was a good boy,

02:53but he never told me anything and just disappeared.

02:58They were also worried.

03:00But they did not know he was a liar and not a good person.

03:06I cried when I remembered that terrible night.

03:09I felt sad and worried because I lost something I could never get back.

03:17My heart broke.

03:19I was scared to tell anyone, but I could not keep it to myself anymore.

03:26One day, I told my mother everything.

03:29I cried and said,

03:31I made a mistake.

03:33I trusted Brandon, but he never loved me.

03:37He just used me.

03:39My mother did not judge me.

03:42She hugged me and said,

03:44Stella, you are not a bad girl.

03:46When we are young, we sometimes make mistakes.

03:51But a good person feels sorry and wants to be better.

03:57You can still change your life.

04:00This is not the end.

04:03Her words gave me hope.

04:06I forgot my past and started a new job at a small company.

04:11I worked hard every day.

04:15One day, the owner of a big company, Mr. Smith, visited our office.

04:21His company's website had a serious problem.

04:26No one could fix it.

04:29Everyone was worried.

04:30I sat down and solved the problem in 30 minutes.

04:35Mr. Smith looked surprised and asked,

04:39How did you do that?

04:41I smiled and said,

04:43I am very good at my work.

04:46He was impressed and very happy.

04:49Later that day, he sent me an invitation to a success party.

04:55I said,

04:57Thank you, sir.

04:58But I do not want to go there.

05:01I am a respectful and simple girl.

05:04I do not feel comfortable at parties like that.

05:09He replied,

05:11Please, I just want to give you respect and thank you in front of everyone.

05:17Mr. Smith was very kind.

05:19So, I decided to go.

05:22When I arrived at the party, many people turned to look at me.

05:28I felt shy and a little nervous, but also happy inside.

05:34Mr. Smith came to me and said,

05:37You look very nice, Stella.

05:39I am really happy you came.

05:41Then suddenly, I noticed something.

05:46A man was staring at me.

05:48I did not know how to react.

05:51So, I turned away and walked to another corner.

05:55After some time,

05:57Mr. Smith came to me and said,

06:00Stella, meet my son, Cillian.

06:04I was surprised.

06:05It was the same man who was looking at me before.

06:09Cillian said hello.

06:12He looked kind and handsome.

06:15He made me feel safe.

06:17I thought,

06:18These people are good.

06:20This place feels different.

06:23For the first time in a long time,

06:25I felt peace in my heart.

06:28Later,

06:29we started talking every day.

06:32I liked spending time with him.

06:35One day,

06:36Cillian told me

06:37he wanted to marry me.

06:39I was so happy,

06:41and I said yes with all my heart.

06:44I told my parents.

06:46They were very happy for me.

06:49I felt like my life was now complete,

06:52but I was also scared.

06:54I thought,

06:55What if he finds out about my past?

06:59Will he still love me?

07:01Maybe I am not good enough for him.

07:04On our wedding night,

07:07Cillian held my hand.

07:09He looked into my eyes and said,

07:12Stella,

07:13I want to be honest with you.

07:15I made some mistakes in my past.

07:18I met other girls,

07:20but now I only want you.

07:22Please forgive anything I did before.

07:26His heart was honest.

07:28I stayed quiet.

07:29Then he asked,

07:31Did someone love you before me?

07:34Did anyone touch you?

07:35Were you in a relationship?

07:38I froze.

07:39My heart began to beat fast.

07:42I said,

07:43Please, Cillian,

07:44don't ask about my past.

07:46It's over.

07:48I only want a future with you.

07:51That night,

07:52Cillian did not say anything else.

07:55He hugged me and said,

07:57Let's sleep.

07:58Tomorrow is a new day.

08:01But I could not sleep.

08:03My heart felt heavy.

08:05I was scared.

08:07But I kept the secret on my first night.

08:11Days later,

08:12Cillian and I were sitting in a park.

08:15But suddenly,

08:17I saw Brandon.

08:19He was looking at me.

08:21I froze.

08:22I could not breathe.

08:24I quickly said,

08:25Let's go, Cillian.

08:26I am feeling hungry.

08:30Brandon gave a strange smile as we walked away.

08:34I felt sick inside.

08:36I knew something bad was coming.

08:39The next morning,

08:41I went to the kitchen to make coffee.

08:44My husband was sitting in the living room.

08:47He looked surprised.

08:49I said,

08:50What is wrong, Cillian?

08:52Is everything okay?

08:53He showed me his phone.

08:56Brandon had posted an old video of me and a photo of my body.

09:02My heart stopped beating.

09:04My hands were shaking.

09:06Cillian looked at me with pain in his eyes.

09:11Stella, what is this?

09:13He asked.

09:14Tears filled my eyes as I looked at Cillian.

09:18I said,

09:20Cillian, please.

09:22I was just a girl.

09:24I was young and stupid.

09:26I made a mistake.

09:28He played with my feelings,

09:30but I did not know.

09:32He was sad and hurt.

09:34He stayed quiet for a while.

09:37I was heartbroken.

09:38I was afraid of losing the only person who loved me.

09:44Then, he looked at me and said,

09:48Stella, I was honest with you,

09:50but you did not tell me the truth on our first night.

09:55I shared my secret with you that night,

09:58but you didn't share yours.

10:01I cried.

10:03Cillian, please, please forgive me.

10:06I kept that secret on our first night

10:09because I was scared,

10:11but I was not dirty.

10:13I was not bad.

10:15If I had told you then,

10:18maybe you would not have given me respect.

10:21Maybe you would not have loved me.

10:24I felt ashamed of my past.

10:27I was young and stupid,

10:29and I made a big mistake,

10:32but I am not that same girl anymore.

10:34Now I understand love,

10:37and I give my heart only to you.

10:41Cillian held my hand and said,

10:44Everyone makes mistakes.

10:46As your partner,

10:48I want to know about your past,

10:50but it will not change how I feel.

10:54I love you for who you are now.

10:57I care about the person you are now,

10:59not what happened before.

11:02My eye'd filled with tears.

11:06He forgave me.

11:07My husband loved me with all my flaws.

11:11Now I live in London with Cillian

11:14and our little son Edward.

11:17We live with love,

11:18trust,

11:19and honesty.

11:22Not every sweet word from a boy is real.

11:25Some boys only want your body,

11:28not your heart.

11:29They don't love you.

11:32One day,

11:33God will send you a good man,

11:36a true husband who will love you

11:39and respect you with all his heart.

11:43If your husband respects you,

11:46give him all your love.

11:48He is a blessing from God.

11:51A true man will never lie

11:54or cheat on you.
