00:00and left our five-year-old twins to die all because they dared upset his precious first love
00:04the men from the behavior correction camp burst into our home kathleen and i found them the next
00:08day my girls lifeless and bruised their breaths stilled forever meanwhile my husband was on
00:13instagram celebrating the pregnancy of his beloved by the time we reached the hospital
00:17there were no signs of life they didn't even take the girls to the er they went straight to the
00:21morgue
00:21my eyes were vacant as i looked at kathleen my babies are gone i have nothing left please let
00:28me go i don't want anything kathleen's eyes were filled with pity but she still spoke softly trying
00:33to comfort me it's going to be okay don't worry grandfather and i are on your side james was
00:38wrong this time i'll make sure he comes to apologize in the future you too before kathleen could finish
00:46i held my phone in front of her it showed a post james coleman had made on instagram just two
00:50hours
00:50ago the attached picture was a sonogram clearly showing emily green six weeks pregnant emily was
00:56james coleman's beloved kathleen's voice cut off abruptly after a moment her face flushed with
01:01anger i'm calling my brother right now don't worry our family will make this right i gave a bitter
01:08laugh and directly dialed james's number he answered irritation dripping from his voice are you calling
01:13to complain about the camp again no one would dare lay a finger on a coleman child i just sent
01:18them
01:18there to learn some discipline do you have to keep calling me you disgust me i didn't say a word
01:23james hung up on the other end the phone was on speaker every word landed clearly in kathleen's
01:29ears her face turned ashen her lips trembled for a long moment as if she no longer knew how to
01:34console me i tried to force a smile but tears fell in heavy drops please i have nothing let me
01:42go
01:43i can't take this anymore just as kathleen was about to speak two police officers approached us
01:48are you the family of the deceased the individual responsible for the camp have been detained
01:53we need your cooperation with the investigation at the police station i saw the men who had come
01:58to take my daughters i lost all control screaming and sobbing i lunged at them you monsters you're all
02:05monsters they were only five how could you how dare you the officers quickly pulled me back kathleen
02:14wrapped her arms around my shaking body sophie don't it's okay the police will handle this fairly
02:19with the coleman name behind us they won't get away with it perhaps frightened by my frenzy the men
02:24shrank into a corner one of them muttering you should have taught your kids better yourself
02:29that's just how we run the camp no discipline no results who knew your girls were so fragile
02:35what bad luck my hand trembled as i pointed at them rage threatened to tear me apart i'll tear you
02:40all to pieces a metallic taste rose in my throat i coughed violently vomiting a mouthful of blood before
02:47darkness swallowed me i woke up in the coleman family estate kathleen sat by my bed her eyes red-rimmed
02:52sovi you're awake don't worry we've handled things with the police we won't let those monsters get
02:59away this time i stared emptily at the ceiling please let me go i have nothing deep down i knew
03:07those monsters at the camp were guilty but the root cause was james he was the one who sent our
03:12daughters to that hell the real culprit wasn't those men it was their own father james kathleen's
03:18shoulders shook then as if making a decision she spoke softly all right i'll talk to grandfather
03:24watching her leave i finally broke down sobbing as if to cry out all the grievances of these years
03:28i came to the coleman household when i was eight the same age as james the grandpa coleman and my
03:33grandfather were comrades in arms my grandfather had saved grandpa coleman's life on the battlefield
03:38theirs was truly a bond forged in life and death my parents died in an accident shortly after i was
03:43born
03:43i was raised by my grandfather until he passed away when i was eight then grandpa coleman took me in
03:48over the years he and kathleen treated me exceptionally well they truly saw me as family
03:52as one of their own that's why for seven years of our marriage no matter how awful james was i
03:58stayed
03:58i bore his children and took care of everything at home i thought even without love having my two
04:03precious girls would give my life meaning but now i had nothing i don't know how much time passed
04:08before kathleen returned grandfather wants to see you the grandpa coleman sat in the recliner by his bed
04:14his eyes held deep sorrow when he looked at me you're a good kid sophie i've heard everything
04:19from kathleen i'm sorry you've suffered so much all these years the girls will be cremated tomorrow
04:24after that you can leave if you wish my idiot grandson doesn't deserve you he shouldn't hold
04:29you back any longer i didn't speak i simply bowed deeply to him tears fell onto the hardwood floor as
04:34i bent over i was grateful for over 20 years of care from the coleman family but i could never
04:38forgive
04:38james he was the murderer who killed my children when i returned to my room james was already there
04:44he looked at me with scorn what couldn't wait to run a grandfather in tattle sophie
04:50do you really think licking my grandfather and sister's boots will make me settle down with you
04:55the sight of him flooded me with hatred i wanted to kill him right then send him to hell but
05:00then
05:00i heard my daughter's soft sweet voices in my mind mommy i love daddy so much daddy is the handsomest
05:06daddy in our kindergarten mommy we miss daddy will daddy come play with us today we love mommy the
05:11most in the whole world and daddy second even when i rushed into the camp to save them their last
05:15words
05:15before losing consciousness were mommy please don't fight with daddy because of us it's our fault
05:22we weren't behaving i took a deep breath ignored james and walked straight to the bed to sit down
05:28my silence seemed to anger him he grabbed me flung me onto the bed and pinned my wrists above my
05:33head
05:33what game are you playing now didn't you have kathleen call me back he leaned down trying to
05:38kiss me unable to break free i bit his lip hard james recoiled in pain letting go and sitting on
05:43sophie are you out of your mind you make me sick with this innocent act is this how you've got
05:48grandfather wrapped around your finger you force me back then play hard to get pathetic it's because
05:52of your phony attitude that the girls turned out i bit my lower lip until i tasted blood then interrupted
05:57him softly the girls are dead james stiffened then let out a scoff sophie you'll really say
06:02anything just because you found out about emily's pregnancy today you go this far with your lies
06:06with that he got up and headed for the door he paused before vanishing behind it you're the one
06:10who pushed me away don't go crying to grandfather about me neglecting you it only makes me despise
06:14you more after james left the room fell silent i rushed to the bathroom and brushed my teeth violently
06:19trying to erase any trace of him from my lips james and i were once in love on my 18th
06:24birthday james
06:25stood before me his ears bright red sophie i want to treat you right i don't want to just be
06:31your
06:31adopted brother his cheeks were flushed but the determination in his eyes was captivating
06:35my heart melted completely for years after james treated me like a treasure and i gave him all my
06:40love in return then when we were 22 grandpa coleman called us to him you're both of marrying age now
06:47sophie your grandfather saved my life i wouldn't feel at ease seeing you marry into another family
06:51what do you think of james here from that day on james's attitude toward me
06:55changed drastically all that tender love seemed to vanish overnight i didn't understand what
07:00happened james never gave me a reason a year into our marriage i got pregnant after that james was
07:05almost never home openly flaunting his relationship with his crush i confronted him fought with him but
07:11james would just look at me coldly as if i were a madwoman me with concern if it hurts just
07:16cry
07:17don't hold it in i didn't answer her instead i looked at grandpa coleman who was about to get into
07:22the car for the cemetery grandpa the girls won't be buried in the coleman family plot
07:26i'm changing their last names they aren't coleman children they're my daughters the old man looked
07:32at me deeply then erupted in fury where is that ungrateful son of mine on a day like today
07:39where has he disappeared to kathleen glanced at me nervously and whispered his phone is off
07:44we can't reach him grandpa coleman shut his eyes tightly when he opened them his gaze was clear
07:49they are your children born from your pain do as you see fit i bowed to him three times i
07:55owed
07:56this man my everything but that debt had nothing to do with my children i couldn't let them suffer
08:00any more indignity even in death after grandpa left by car kathleen gently helped me up sophie
08:06i gave her a faint smile hailed a taxi and headed straight home the two urns in my arms i
08:12needed to
08:12pack the girls things too that house had never truly been their home i wouldn't leave them in that
08:16cold heartless place but as soon as i opened the door passionate moans filled my ears oh stop
08:21i'm pregnant the doctor said we shouldn't then a man's voice rough with desire i'll be gentle
08:27it's fine i never heard our baby soon the sounds of their intimacy filled the house they were in the
08:33bedroom i couldn't go in to pack i just stood frozen by the door torturing myself by listening
08:37to the obscene noises i didn't know how long it was before they finally emerged the moment emily saw me
08:42triumph flashed in her eyes oh sophie you're back why didn't you say anything we had no idea
08:47it's all james's fault i told him not to but he insisted what could i do james stood beside emily
08:53his arm around her waist no need to explain to her she's nobody come on let's go we have a
08:59doctor's
08:59appointment for the checker our baby needs to be healthy and safe from start to finish james didn't
09:04look at me once his eyes were only for emily i stepped aside calmly making way for them as they
09:09passed james finally noticed the urns in my arms what's that garbage it looks filthy throw it out
09:15with that he walked out with emily arm in arm i looked down blankly at the urns daddy wasn't talking
09:21about you don't be sad your mommy's treasure you're not garbage after carefully setting down the urns
09:28i began packing the girls belongings clothes toys utensils crayons at the small desk in their room i found
09:35a family photo but it only showed me and the girls not james my hand shook as i took the
09:39picture out
09:40of its frame the girls had drawn a man beside us in crayon in their clumsy handwriting they had written
09:44three words daddy loves mommy followed by a tiny heart i couldn't hold back any longer clutching the
09:50photo i wept bitterly in the five years i raised them alone no matter what happened between james and me
09:55i never spoke ill of him to our daughters but children are perceptive they could see clearly that
10:00daddy didn't love mommy by nightfall i had finally packed everything i watched the movers load the
10:05boxes onto the truck anything else mrs coleman i shook my head then went back inside and placed the
10:10half-signed divorce papers on the coffee table leaving the house i held the two urns tightly a
10:15strange sense of peace settled over me after a moment of silence i took out my phone's sim card
10:20snapped it in half and tossed it out the car window meanwhile at street mary's hospital grandpa coleman and
10:26kathleen having gotten word arrived and intercepted james and emily during their checkup seeing them
10:30james's face instantly darkened can't sophie be any more disgusting playing the quiet forgiving wife at
10:36home then calling you to chase us down at the hospital before he could finish the old man slapped
10:41him hard across the face you heartless wretch you killed your own children and you have the nerve to
10:46bring your mistress here for a checkup how did our family produce such a monster james staggered almost
10:51losing his balance what are you talking about emily had shrunk behind james the moment she saw them
10:56but kathleen was faster she grabbed a fistful of emily's hair you shameless bitch how dare you hide
11:02do you know how old my nieces were five what terrible crime did they commit you couldn't tolerate them
11:06how could you be so cruel are you even human emily cried out in pain as she fell james helped
11:11her up
11:11glaring at his sister what are you doing she's pregnant what if something happens to the baby
11:18fine you want to know what happened i just took emily home that day and the girls started screaming
11:24for her to get out is that any way for children to treat a guest i'm their father what's wrong
11:31with
11:31sending them somewhere more suitable can't i discipline my own children all right fine if you're
11:39so against it i'll bring them back from the camp you don't have to help sophie lie to me saying
11:43the girls
11:43are dead how can you even say that the old man couldn't take it anymore he began slapping james
11:48relentlessly she's a mistress what kind of guest is that you fool you brought your mistress home and
11:54the girls were protecting their mother what's wrong with that that's true coleman spirit james
11:58not daring to hit back against his elderly grandfather could only duck and dodge stop it
12:03people are watching have some respect the old man shot james a painful look as if he didn't recognize
12:08his own grandson if i'd known you'd become this kind of cold-hearted beast i never would have let
12:12sophie marry you then she wouldn't have suffered all these years and my grandda daughters wouldn't
12:16be dead tears streamed down the old man's wrinkled face how you've treated sophie how will i ever face
12:22her grandfather in the afterlife she was his only treasure his mind flashed to the image of sophie
12:26earlier that day bowing before him she was cradling the two small urns her frail body trembling but
12:31her voice was steel maybe it's for the best leaving is for the best then she won't have to suffer
12:36this humiliation anymore i'm the one who held her back the old man couldn't bear to look at james any
12:40longer he turned to leave don't bother coming home the coleman family has no room for an ungrateful
12:44bastard like seeing his grandfather's serious expression james began to shake uncontrollably
12:48clinging to a sliver of hope he looked at kathleen tell me what is grandfather talking about are you
12:53all lying to me is this some conspiracy kathleen took a deep breath remembering the nearly broken
12:58woman at the police station tears fell from her eyes we sent him to that place that camp only knows
13:03punishment they tied the girls to chairs they beat them with belts electrocuted them with tasers starved
13:07them denied them water by the time we got there it was too late james the girls are gone sophie
13:11has
13:11left freedom and happiness you wanted to chase no one is standing in your way without another glance
13:15at james she turned and followed their grandfather james's mind buzzed instinctively he moved to chase
13:21after them but emily grabbed his arm james where are you going james turned extreme panic had stripped
13:27him of reason i need to find my girls i need to find sophie didn't you hear gone they're gone
13:32emily
13:32was startled by his outburst but instinct told her not to let him leave james i'm pregnant remember
13:38we're going to have our own baby soon you didn't love sophie or the twins isn't this perfect now we
13:44can finally be together openly before she could finish james violently shook off her hand who do you
13:50think you are leave my family out of your filthy mouth caught off guard emily was thrown to the ground
13:55james didn't spare her a glance he turned to leave emily clutched her stomach crying out in pain
14:00james my stomach it hurts so much but through her blurry vision she only saw james walking further
14:07and further away the man who used to fret over her slightest frown now stormed away ignoring her
14:12desperate calls james drove straight home stepping inside he froze the house was empty devoid of all
14:18traces of life in that moment it hit him sophie was really gone stumbling james opened every door
14:24master bedroom guest room study walk-in closet finally the girl's room there his legs gave way
14:31and he collapsed to the floor now he understood that's why sophie's eyes last night were filled
14:36with such disappointment and hatred suddenly he remembered when he left the house today sophie
14:41was holding two dull colored containers those were those were the girl's ashes and what had he said
14:46what's that garbage it looks filthy throw it out an invisible hand seemed to tighten around james's
14:52throat he couldn't breathe a memory surfaced the girl's fifth birthday under grandfather's pressure
14:57he had for once taken them to the amusement park with sophie his younger daughter had stood shyly
15:02before him looking up daddy you're not busy with work today i'm so happy thank you for spending my
15:08birthday with me his older daughter had cautiously taken his hand daddy thank you coming here with us
15:13mommy was right daddy is the best daddy in the whole world james fell forward clutching his chest
15:18gasping for air they they were so sweet yet on that day when he locked them in the car for
15:23the camp
15:24what had he said disgusting brats is this how your mother taught you to treat guests you're just as
15:29rude as her tears streamed down james's face hitting the floor through his blurred vision he saw a
15:35photograph on the floor he scrambled over on hands and knees picking it up with trembling fingers it was
15:40a photo of sophie and the girls next to them drawn in crayon was a stick figure above it in
15:46wobbly
15:46letters daddy all his emotions finally found an outlet james sobbed uncontrollably sophie had left
15:52nothing behind except for this one photo she hated him so she left him nothing to remember him by
15:57james pulled out his phone frantically dialing sophie's number over and over but no matter how
16:02many times he called all he heard was the automated message the subscriber you have dialed is not in
16:07service his heart felt like it was plummeting into a bottomless abyss sinking deeper until all sound
16:11ceased only then did james realize all these years sophie had always been within his sight whenever
16:17he looked up she was there with their daughters she had never for a moment been truly lost to him
16:22but now she was done waiting so she left and he would never find her again from their first meeting
16:28at eight to now 21 years it was always sophie who accommodated him it was him he was the one
16:34who kept
16:34failing her who ultimately killed their children james couldn't bear to think further he wiped his tears
16:39clumsily staggered to his feet left the house and drove straight to the family estate at the estate
16:43kathleen and the old man sat silently in the vast living room holding the girl's baby photos tears in
16:48their eyes seeing james kathleen's voice was sharp weren't you told not to come back what are you doing
16:53here get out james ignored her he knelt directly before his grandfather his voice hoarse grandfather
16:59please tell me where sophie is the old man acted as if he hadn't heard continuing to gently wipe the
17:04photo frame a tender smile on his face kathleen couldn't stand it she slapped james hard what
17:09right do you have to ask about sophie how many times have i tried to talk to you over the
17:13years
17:14if i was sophie i'd want to kill you james was her brother seeing him like this pained her but
17:20for
17:20seven years she had pleaded with james to treat sophie better he never listened instead blaming everything
17:25on sophie he had accused her of tattling of using the family to pressure him kathleen had even
17:30confronted emily but emily would just run to james she still remembered the time james exploded if
17:35you bother emily again i'll never come home you all adore sophie so much fine i'll let her live
17:41like a widow forever kathleen's tears fell she couldn't forgive james and she couldn't forgive
17:46herself those girls were so sweet always following her calling always saving treats or toys for her
17:53james endured the slap scrambling to explain i didn't mean to i really didn't i just thought the
17:59girls were being bad i wanted to teach them a lesson kathleen grabbed a cup from the side table
18:03and hurled it it struck james's forehead opening a gash blood dripped down you didn't mean to how
18:09dare you say that search your heart were those girls really bad five years sophie raised them alone
18:14can you honestly say she didn't raise them well were you punishing the girls or were you punishing sophie
18:18what did sophie ever do wrong blood trickled down his face but james seemed not to feel it i didn't
18:24mean
18:24to treat her badly i just didn't want to live a life controlled by all of you i'm the only
18:29son of
18:29the coleman family since i was a child you've managed everything i need permission for every
18:34little thing even my marriage even my marriage was arranged sophie's grandfather saved grandpa so i
18:44became the repayment i had to marry sophie by the end james was sobbing too hard to speak
18:50the old man let out a cold laugh looking at james as if at a stranger we arranged it we
18:56forced you to
18:57repay a debt in my eyes you were never good enough for sophie it was you who confessed to her
19:03you who
19:04pursued her first i merely agreed to the marriage it was your own choice how did it become our arrangement
19:12james you are no true coleman you have no backbone even now you're still trying to shift flame
19:19james froze then slowly he crumpled to the floor weeping bitterly he was right he had fallen for
19:26sophie first he had pursued her so why did everything change once grandfather and kathleen got involved
19:31it was true he resented it he hated his controlled life he hated that even his marriage felt like a
19:36transaction to repay his grandfather's debt but there were so many ways he could have rebelled
19:40why did he choose to wreck his marriage james crawled on hands and knees to his grandfather's
19:44feet clutching his pant legs between sobs i made a serious mistake i know that now please grandpa
19:52i'm begging you tell me where sophie is the old man didn't look at him he stood swaying slightly and
19:59headed upstairs sophie doesn't want to see you james stopped mid kowtow no one knew what he was
20:05thinking after a long while james stumbled to his feet mumbling i'll find her myself i will i knew
20:13nothing of the chaos in the coleman family after leaving i took my girls to florida they hated the
20:17cold so i chose florida a place where it never snows the month since leaving had brought me an
20:22unprecedented peace today as i was cleaning the girls photos a frantic knocking came at the door i opened
20:28it to find a familiar figure kneeling sophie i've come to take you in our baby's home i didn't want
20:34to engage i tried to shut the door but james shoved his hand against the frame stopping it please sophie
20:41just let me talk to you i paused james go away i have nothing to say to you seeing me
20:48respond james
20:49straightened up on his knees i'm not leaving not unless you come with me i haven't signed the divorce
20:54papers you're still my wife let's go home together i looked down at the man kneeling before me go home
21:00for what to watch you and emily in our bed to see you sweat over her or should i go
21:04back as emily's
21:04maid help her through her pregnancy isn't she pregnant james flinched rushing to deny it no it's
21:09not like that i made emily terminate the pregnancy i ended things with her i'll be good to you from
21:14now
21:14often i let out a scornful laugh so what she got rid of a fetus and suddenly your betrayal never
21:20happened the harm you did to our girls never happened she destroyed an unborn embryo and that
21:26brings my children back if you felt even a shred of guilt for me and the girls you wouldn't be
21:31here
21:31bothering me today james's face went deathly pale his lips moved but no sound came out my tears fell
21:37heavily james you killed my children what makes you think i'd ever go back with you my tears landed
21:44on his hand he jerked back as if they burned him no sophie listen to me i really didn't mean
21:48it
21:49they were my daughters too how could i ever want to hurt them what happened was an accident i swear
21:54i didn't i'd heard enough enough they were not your children james every word out of your mouth makes
22:01me sick you didn't know you didn't mean to will those words bring my babies back how dare you
22:06come here asking for forgiveness james's eyes were bloodshot after a long silence he whispered
22:11i'm sorry his apology made me laugh bitterly and james looked up a flicker of hope in his eyes
22:17sophie i was confused before i was stubborn felt like i was just a tool for repaying a debt that's
22:21why i did those terrible things and i'll play no i was wrong at once give me one chance we're
22:24still
22:24young we can have more children i couldn't take it anymore i slapped him hard across the face even now
22:29you're trampling on my feelings you resented the family's control there were so many things you
22:33have rebelled against why choose our marriage james did you think i was just that easy to bully
22:39tears streamed down james's face he was speechless i tried to smile but tears fell anyway james if you're
22:45truly sorry then let me go let our children go without another look at him i slammed the door shut
22:52i don't know when james left the next morning when i opened the door no one was there only the
22:56divorce
22:56papers lay on the doorstep in the end james had signed them once the divorce was finalized i returned to
23:02handle the formalities after getting the certificate kathleen and i sat in a cafe an awkward silence
23:07between us from kathleen i learned what had happened since the behavior correction camp had been shut
23:12down by authorities hundreds of children were rescued those responsible were convicted after
23:17returning from florida james stopped going to work he stayed home drowning himself in alcohol he was
23:21found passed out at home kathleen forced him to the hospital the doctor said he had severe
23:25psychological issues requiring long-term treatment emily after terminating the pregnancy had caused a
23:30scene at the estate but grandpa coleman a decisive man all his life wasn't one to be manipulated
23:34emily had benefited greatly from her connection to james over the years the old man produced evidence
23:39of embezzlement from the company and had emily sent to prison after sharing this kathleen looked at me
23:44carefully my brother he's in a very bad place mentally would you consider before she could finish
23:51i shook my head no he and i we can't meet peacefully anymore kathleen sighed deeply grandpa actually told
23:59me not to come today he said leaving you alone would be best for you now but i didn't listen
24:03no matter what i want you know that grandpa and i still see you as family you don't hate my
24:06brother
