Short filmTranscript
00:00The diamond ring my billionaire husband bought me is worth millions. I throw it away.
00:08One month ago, I still believed in forever. Just because I love it.
00:13My husband outbid everyone until that breathtaking diamond was mine.
00:20Before Alexander swept into my life, I was just surviving.
00:27He was a force of nature, bright, handsome, and bold.
00:32My rejections never deterred him.
00:36With maddening patience, he thawed my frozen heart.
00:40And God help me, I fell in love.
00:45I'd never forget Alexander's vows at our wedding.
00:49He promised to love me forever, until death do us part.
00:55I thought I was the luckiest woman alive.
01:00Until he met Jessica, a pretty, vibrant freshman.
01:05I can't stand people like her.
01:08So reckless. So careless.
01:11Shh, calm down, honey.
01:14How can I make you feel better?
01:16Emma, I'm furious. Just hold me like this, okay?
01:20I love you. Please don't leave me.
01:24Drowning in his sweet kiss, I completely missed how Alexander was looking at Jessica while kissing me.
01:31Later, I found Jessica's social media post.
01:34That was Alexander's back.
01:36I'd know it anywhere.
01:38I remembered the photo I got this morning.
01:42My ring, still wet with those mocking words.
01:45Used it. Feels nice.
01:48No matter how hard I tried to deny it, the truth was, Alexander was cheating on me.
01:56When I woke up, Alexander was gone.
01:59A car engine roared outside.
02:02I went down and saw them.
02:05My heart shattered.
02:09Alex, who do you love more?
02:11Me or your wife?
02:13At that moment, his silence made up my mind.
02:17It was time to leave.
02:24After witnessing Alex's affair, I pretended nothing happened.
02:29Dear Emma Carter, the Humboldt Research Institute looks forward to your arrival.
02:34I'd accepted a research job abroad.
02:36It was my dream job.
02:38The one I gave up to marry Alex.
02:40This time, I won't let it go.
02:43What's that message?
02:45Just spam.
02:46Sam, Alex was driving me to his mom's house when I got it.
02:51Emma, where's your ring?
02:53You promised never to take it off.
02:55Huh.
02:56Didn't he promise never to betray me?
02:58I used my prepared excuse.
03:01It's at the jeweler's being cleaned, remember?
03:04Get it back tomorrow.
03:05I need that reassurance.
03:07Maybe in a few days.
03:09These things take time.
03:11He frowned.
03:13Then his phone pinged.
03:14That special ringtone I knew too well.
03:17Just spam.
03:19His expression didn't change.
03:21But I caught that tiny smile in his eyes.
03:24You're right.
03:25That's a few days we have forever.
03:28Soon, we arrived at the villa.
03:30And I heard cheerful laughter.
03:33Mom.
03:33I hadn't seen Eleanor this happy since Alex's father died.
03:37She was holding Nala, the stray cat I'd rescued near her house.
03:41A cat that never let me touch it.
03:45Hey, sweet kitty.
03:46This cat that had always turned me away was nuzzling against another woman.
03:52Emma.
03:53It's been a while.
03:55It's you.
04:00Flashbacks of her with Alex made it hard to breathe.
04:03Yet here she was, with that smug, it's been a while.
04:08Emma, where are your manners?
04:11My silence earned Eleanor's first scolding.
04:15Meanwhile, Alex played dumb.
04:18Um, who is she?
04:20Eleanor was all smiles, introducing her new sweetheart.
04:24Even Nala had decided she was her human.
04:28Seeing this, my heart sank.
04:32Mom, the party's starting.
04:35Alex held my hand, still playing the perfect husband.
04:39Everyone around us praised his devotion.
04:42He served me food, chatting and smiling.
04:45No one noticed when my spoon fell.
04:47As I bent to pick it up, I saw Jessica's foot caressing Alex's thigh under the table.
04:55He didn't stop her.
04:56His social smile never faltering.
04:59Nausea hit me hard.
05:01Through the sickness came an absurd thought.
05:03How ironic if I turned out pregnant now.
05:06I closed my eyes, almost laughing.
05:09This seemed even more ridiculous than his betrayal.
05:13Yet I couldn't breathe.
05:14I had to get out.
05:15Now.
05:16I caught Alex's eyes moving from my full plate to me.
05:20His look changing from confusion to shock.
05:23Was he worried?
05:24Or just guilty?
05:26I didn't care.
05:27I couldn't let him catch me.
05:32I didn't look back.
05:34I heard Alex getting up.
05:36Then Jessica's soft gasp.
05:38He didn't follow me.
05:40In that moment, he chose her.
05:42That told me everything.
05:44I sat alone on a bench by the garden, smelling the roses, enjoying the quiet.
05:50Then I heard Nala meowing.
05:52I followed the sound toward the back garden.
05:55Suddenly, I spotted two figures pressed together.
05:59Didn't I tell you not to come, naughty girl?
06:02But I just couldn't miss your mom's birthday.
06:05Don't do this again.
06:08Whatever you say.
06:10Watching them together, even the night breeze seemed to mock me.
06:14Then I heard a voice.
06:16Alex, are you done?
06:19Everyone's waiting.
06:20Eleanor wasn't even surprised to see Jessica.
06:23She treated her like a daughter-in-law, scolding Alex for not taking better care of her.
06:28So Eleanor knew all along.
06:31I was the only one being deceived.
06:34Come here, Nala.
06:36You're all I have left.
06:38But she arched her back and scratched me.
06:41The pain left me stunned.
06:43I never thought the cat I rescued would hurt me.
06:47From here, the three of them look like a real family.
06:50A wave of grief hit me.
06:53Then a sharp pain in my lower belly.
06:55Everything went black.
06:57I woke up to the smell of hospital disinfectant.
07:01Then I saw an ultrasound report.
07:03I'm pregnant?
07:08I was pregnant, but last night's shock nearly cost me the baby.
07:14Looking at that tiny life in the photo, I saw how cruel fate could be.
07:19But in that moment, all my loneliness and weakness disappeared.
07:23I'm not alone anymore.
07:25Congratulations.
07:26I'll tell Mr. Reed right now.
07:29He was worried sick all night.
07:30I asked everyone to keep it secret, saying I wanted to surprise Alex.
07:35Because this child is mine alone.
07:38Alex will never know.
07:41Soon after, I heard hurried footsteps in the hallway.
07:44Oh, thank God you're okay.
07:46You were talking crazy last night.
07:49I thought you were going to leave me.
07:50You know I can't live without you.
07:53And I won't let you go.
07:55I only leave cheaters.
07:58Alex, have you cheated on me?
08:01He froze.
08:03I saw panic flash in his eyes.
08:06Emma, no, I swear.
08:08Then what are you afraid of?
08:10I won't leave you.
08:12I'll love you forever, Emma.
08:15In the evening, while Alex was handling my discharge papers,
08:18the last person I wanted to see showed up.
08:22Glad you're okay.
08:23I should have come earlier, but my boyfriend wore me out last night.
08:27Couldn't get out of bed till noon.
08:29He just can't get enough of me.
08:32Every time we meet, he wants me all day and night.
08:35You know what?
08:36While you were passed out here, I was in your bed with Alex.
08:42You know how good he is, right?
08:50Alex and...
08:51Who let you in?
08:53Emma needs rest.
08:54Get out.
09:04Is she okay?
09:08He's not as important as you, but...
09:10Mom likes her.
09:12I'll check on her.
09:14Wait here.
09:20The moment he left, I snuck out after him.
09:33Didn't I tell you to leave Emma alone?
09:39His anger gone in a second.
09:42One kiss and he forgot all about being mad.
09:48No surprise there.
09:49I'd seen this drama before.
09:51I closed my eyes, expressionless, and left the hospital without looking back.
09:59Back home, I grabbed some clothes and my passport.
10:02Anything tied to Alex, I left behind.
10:05After that, I took a taxi to a hotel.
10:08I couldn't stay in a place where he slept with another woman.
10:11Then came a sudden, explosive crash.
10:16I slammed onto the seat in front of me.
10:19A tearing pain shot through my belly.
10:21As I was blacking out, I saw blood running down to my ankles.
10:30I panicked, feeling something precious slipping away.
10:34In that moment, I called Alex, the only person I once trusted.
10:40I just wanted to tell him I was losing our baby.
10:44Alex always picked up right away.
10:46But this time, it rang forever.
10:51Emma, I can't hear you.
10:54Help, help.
10:57I think I'm getting sick, babe.
11:00Got a client problem. I'll call you back.
11:02I passed out in a pool of blood before he even finished.
11:10I told you not to pull stunts like this.
11:13But you promised this trip was just for me.
11:17I'll get Emma a gift on the way home.
11:20She'll hug me and cry like she always does.
11:24When I woke up, the doctor told me with regret that I'd lost my baby.
11:28I went numb, yet the tears just kept falling.
11:34My professor abroad texted to check on me.
11:37I said I was resting.
11:39He kindly offered to sort out an extension for me.
11:42Don't worry, professor.
11:44I'll be there on time.
11:47I blocked Alex on everything and got on a plane to Berlin.
11:51Left him a special birthday surprise.
11:55Alexander, hope we never meet again.
12:03She never ignores my calls for no reason.
12:06Something must be wrong.
12:08I think Mrs. Reed went on a trip.
12:11Saw her leave with some clothes.
12:14She only took her everyday stuff.
12:19For Alex.
12:20Open on your birthday.
12:27I landed in Berlin after dark.
12:30In the terminal, I heard someone calling my name.
12:34Emma, finally got you here.
12:36Next to him was Dr. Ethan Blackwood, the professor's right-hand man.
12:41Welcome back.
12:43We were once the perfect team.
12:45Then I chose marriage over research.
12:48He respected that and said he'd always be waiting for me.
12:52After three years with Alex,
12:54at least someone was actually happy to see me.
12:57Days of exhaustion and pain had pushed my body to its limit.
13:01You've suffered enough.
13:03Meanwhile, Alex's birthday party was about to start.
13:07Then my timed email arrived.
13:09His face lit up, seeing the pregnancy test results.
13:14But as he scrolled down, he finally learned why I called that day.
13:17His wife was in a car crash.
13:19And where was he when she needed him most?
13:22Making out with his mistress.
13:24Taking walks.
13:26Having sex.
13:27Then he remembered my birthday gift.
13:30He rushed upstairs, ripping open the gift box.
13:33Wedding ring and divorce papers fell to the floor.
13:36Emma wants a divorce?
13:38This is her birthday gift to me?
13:42She wants to divorce you?
13:45Let her go.
13:46She'll regret it.
13:48Don't you dare talk about her.
13:52We're done.
13:56Find Emma.
13:58Now.
13:58I need to know exactly where she is.
14:05I thought cutting Alex out would hurt forever.
14:08But lab work and research papers filled the void completely.
14:13You okay?
14:14Let's go for a walk.
14:19It felt like college again.
14:21After all these years, we still clicked perfectly.
14:25Thanks for your help recently.
14:29A sudden scream came from behind us.
14:31Move aside!
14:32I stumbled back.
14:34Ethan caught me.
14:36His eyes locked with mine.
14:38He wanted to stay, but the professor called.
14:40So he had to go.
14:41So this is why you want to divorce me?
14:44A voice shattered the silence.
14:47Alex, standing there out of nowhere.
14:50We were only a road apart, but it felt so far.
14:54I'm divorcing you because you cheated on me.
14:57He went pale, his tall body about to fall.
15:01It was just a fling.
15:03I only love you, Emma.
15:05I'm sorry.
15:07I've been looking for you for months.
15:10Love me and sleep around?
15:13Alexander, you only make me regret ever being with you.
15:17So you rushed off because you already had some other guy waiting, huh?
15:23Not everyone is as disgusting as you.
15:27Alex, we are done.
15:31I was wrong.
15:32Don't go.
15:33Please, Emma, please.
15:34We had a baby.
15:37You know that, right?
15:40While you were busy with Jessica, our baby was dying in that crash.
15:46If you have any decency left, sign the papers.
15:50No, Emma, please don't.
15:52I'll die without you.
15:55Huh.
15:56Then you die.
16:02Three years later, Ethan and I came back for an academic forum.
16:07Outside the window, I saw the villa where Alexander and I once lived.
16:12After that confrontation, he disappeared from my life.
16:16Until a call came from an unknown number.
16:19Mrs. Reed, Mr. Reed was badly hurt in a car crash.
16:23Could you come?
16:24We're divorced.
16:26Call me Emma now.
16:27Is he dead?
16:28What?
16:29No.
16:30His leg was broken.
16:32I have nothing to do with Alexander anymore.
16:35Tell him to leave me alone.
16:42Soon after, Alexander's assets got frozen.
16:45He had to auction off everything he owned.
16:49Word is, his ex-lover outed his affair for revenge, then took off with his money.
16:55Ethan reminded me it was my turn on stage.
16:58After all these years, I finally stood on the stage I'd dreamed of.
17:03The applause was overwhelming.
17:07I caught a glimpse of someone in a wheelchair far back.
17:12After it ended, I received a text.
17:16Great speech.
17:18I'm glad you made your dream happen.
17:20I deleted it, like always.
17:22Didn't even think twice.
17:24For years, all my feelings, good or bad, came only from my marriage.
17:29But now I have my career and friends.
17:32My happiness doesn't depend on one person.
17:35From now on, each experience makes me more of myself.
17:40What's wrong?
17:42Let's go.
17:44Only forward from here.
17:57Three years later, Ethan and I came back for an academic forum.
