Short filmTranscript
00:00I'm passing the inheritance of my family pack to my husband.
00:04Make him a new alpha king.
00:06It's a gift for our 10th wedding anniversary.
00:11But one day, I felt my son's scent.
00:13It doesn't feel right.
00:15It's not my family's scent.
00:16But he looks just like my husband.
00:18He is definitely Kian's blood.
00:20I kept quiet and did two things.
00:22First, I stopped the new alpha ceremony.
00:24Second, I called for a paternity test.
00:27I carried sleeping Ethan to the hall.
00:28I need to check if Ethan is mine.
00:31My hands shook as I started the test.
00:33Time passed slowly.
00:34Nothing happened.
00:35I had my answer.
00:36Ethan is not my child.
00:37I gave a direct order to the guard leader.
00:39Track my husband Kian's every move.
00:41Yes, your majesty.
00:42I sent Ethan back to his room.
00:44I couldn't look at his familiar face.
00:46I thought I was ready, but I wasn't.
00:48He is not my son.
00:50I have raised another woman's child for 10 years.
00:52Then where is my baby?
00:54I summon Dr. Mara immediately.
00:58I need my birth records from 10 years ago.
01:00It's been so long.
01:02The files might be lost.
01:04I ordered the guards to search the whole clinic.
01:06I only found a few thin pages.
01:08No details.
01:09No process.
01:10Is this all?
01:11Records only last 10 years.
01:13Yours are expiring.
01:16What about paw prints and baby data?
01:18They should be there, but they're gone.
01:20It was clear.
01:21Someone was hiding something.
01:23A holophile.
01:24And a son who looks like my husband, but not me.
01:26I went back to the house in a daze.
01:29Keevan was sitting there in the dark.
01:30Where were you?
01:31Why didn't take Ethan?
01:33I had business.
01:34I faked a headache.
01:35I went back to the bedroom to rest.
01:37I heard them playing in the living room.
01:39Dad, is Mommy mad?
01:40She's just tired.
01:42Go to sleep soon.
01:43Once they slept, I searched the house.
01:45Bedroom.
01:46Living room.
01:47Ethan's room.
01:48Nothing.
01:49Finally, I looked at the safe in the study.
01:51The truth must be inside.
01:53Footsteps approached.
01:54I grabbed some books.
01:56Keevan walked in and saw me cleaning.
01:58He checked the safe.
01:59It was locked.
02:00Our family photo was still sitting on top of it.
02:03Still awake?
02:04Just clearing out old books.
02:05I wiped the dust away.
02:07Let the chauvins do it.
02:08Get some rest.
02:09I sat in the dark and listened to him leave.
02:11I didn't try the safe that night.
02:13My mind was a mess.
02:14The next morning, Keevan took Ethan out.
02:16I went straight to the study.
02:18I faced the safe and typed the code.
02:20Our anniversary?
02:22Wrong.
02:22His birthday?
02:23Wrong.
02:24Our son's birthday?
02:26Still wrong.
02:27I tried the day we met.
02:28His mother's birthday.
02:29The day of his alpha inauguration.
02:31None of them worked.
02:32Only one try left before it locks forever.
02:35I sat in the chair, lost in thought.
02:37This safe was once mine.
02:38Now, it is locked against me.
02:40Keevan came back that evening.
02:41I'm going south tomorrow.
02:43Not sure for how long.
02:45So sudden.
02:46Who are you going with?
02:47It's just business, Alara.
02:48Stop this.
02:50You ask too much.
02:51You suspect everyone.
02:52I'm just doing my job.
02:54My hand trembled.
02:58I was just asking.
03:00He said nothing and went to the bedroom.
03:03Ethan was unusually quiet today.
03:05After his shower, Keevan slept in the study.
03:07I went to the bedroom to put his coat away.
03:09I found a ruby necklace in the pocket.
03:11It was very expensive.
03:13He used the pack's money for it.
03:14But it wasn't for me.
03:16In 10 years, he stopped giving me gifts.
03:18I used to make excuses for him.
03:20Now I see the truth.
03:21He is romantic.
03:23Just not with me.
03:24I found the address of the jewelry store.
03:26The next morning, Keevan left for the south.
03:29I went straight to the shop.
03:33I found this necklace.
03:34Who bought it?
03:35Of course.
03:36Miss Ivy picked it herself yesterday.
03:39Ivy.
03:39I knew that name.
03:40She was a maid in our house.
03:42A divorced woman in her 30s.
03:43I drove south immediately.
03:45I didn't know what I was looking for.
03:47Maybe it was just a gift for another pack.
03:49Maybe I was overthinking.
03:52I waited at the southern house for a long time.
03:56Then I saw Keevan.
03:58And Ivy was right there with him.
04:05I stood on the second floor and watched.
04:07Ivy and Keevan walked into the house together.
04:10They were sharing a single suitcase.
04:12Keevan had a relaxed smile I hadn't seen in years.
04:15No stress from the pack.
04:17No coldness toward me.
04:19Ivy stopped and reached out naturally.
04:21She straightened the collar of Keevan's coat.
04:23Keevan didn't pull away.
04:25He leaned down, whispered in her ear.
04:27Ivy laughed and stood on her tiptoes.
04:29She gave him a soft, familiar kiss on the lips.
04:32Keevan's hand rested on her waist for a moment.
04:35They looked so natural together.
04:37Like this was their normal life.
04:39I stood there and my last bit of hope died.
04:41Late at night he claimed to be working.
04:43Do you mind?
04:44I'm busy.
04:45The annoyed looks he gave me.
04:47The cold attitude.
04:49None of it was my imagination.
04:51Now I had all the answers.
04:53I watched their intimate shadows.
04:55A terrifying thought hit me.
04:57Ethan is not mine.
04:59Could he be Ivy's son?
05:00On the way back I gave a cold order to the guard leader.
05:03Investigate one more person, Ivy.
05:05I want to know everything, especially if she has a child.
05:08Yes, your majesty.
05:10The guards moved fast in my pack.
05:12By the next afternoon I had the report.
05:15Ivy 32 from the Westpac.
05:18She has a 10-year-old son named Luca.
05:20He lives in the West District.
05:22The birthday on the report hit me like a thunderbolt.
05:25Luca is only one week younger than Ethan.
05:28For the first time in 10 years my blood boiled.
05:31Anger and grief crashed over me.
05:33My wolf became restless.
05:34I collapsed onto the sofa, clutching the report.
05:37My knuckles turned white.
05:39Then, a chilling realization crawled into my mind.
05:41I ran into the study.
05:45My finger hovered over the safe.
05:48I slowly typed in Ivy's birthday.
05:51The safe clicked open.
05:53Inside was a photo album.
05:55The photos were in order by year.
05:57It started 11 years ago.
05:59Kian and Ivy were in school uniforms.
06:01They stood under a phoenix tree.
06:0419-year-old Kian was smiling.
06:06His hand was on Ivy's shoulder.
06:08Ivy had a ponytail and looked up at him.
06:11The next photo was from three years ago.
06:13They were in a library, holding hands.
06:16That was the day Kian told me our pack was in crisis.
06:19We canceled our anniversary trip for that.
06:21I closed the album.
06:22My stomach felt sick.
06:24I looked at our wedding photo on the wall.
06:25I felt like throwing up.
06:27This was a 10-year-long lie.
06:29At 3 p.m., I drove to the West District.
06:32The buildings there were old and worn.
06:34A group of kids chased each other in a narrow street.
06:37I stood at the end of the alley.
06:39I waited quietly.
06:40A 10-year-old boy was pushed aside.
06:43No one wanted to play with him.
06:46He looked around and walked out of the alley.
06:49I held my breath.
06:51That boy, Luca.
06:52Luca.
06:53That boy, Luca.
07:00No, that is my child.
07:03His hair is the exact same shade as mine.
07:06He had on baggy, beat-up clothes.
07:07I caught sight of the birthmark on his back.
07:09It was exactly the one I remembered.
07:12Dust clung to his eyelashes.
07:14His lips were chapped and dry.
07:16The solos of his shoes were worn paper thin.
07:18His eyes were hollow and empty.
07:19He didn't look like any normal 10-year-old.
07:22I clamped a hand over my mouth to hold back a scream.
07:24He walked off and vanished around the corner.
07:26I crumpled to the alley entrance and sobbed.
07:28I cried for my boy, walking home all alone.
07:32I cried for the 10 years of my life he stole.
07:35I cried for the love I'd wasted on him.
07:37Then I wiped my tears dry.
07:38I headed straight for my lawyer's office.
07:40I handed over all the proof of Kian's cheating.
07:43Everything about Ivy, about Luca.
07:45I want to break our bond.
07:47I want him out with nothing.
07:49I'm gonna raise the kid myself.
07:50And Kian's gonna pay for what he did.
07:52On the way home, Kian's words popped into my head.
07:55Allara, I'll give you a lifetime, please.
07:57Turns out his lifetime was only 10 years.
07:59No, maybe not even that.
08:01I pulled out my phone and called my dad's old right-hand man.
08:04Uncle Jason, about the new alpha ceremony in three months.
08:06I got something to talk to you about.
08:09Kian probably forgot one thing.
08:10I'm the rightful first heir to the pack.
08:12He only got this shot because I begged my dad.
08:15I made him an alpha.
08:16And I can turn him into a rogue easy.
08:18While Kian and Ivy were fooling around down south.
08:21I sold off every single thing I owned for cash.
08:24Every afternoon, I'd head to the West District.
08:26One day, it started pouring rain.
08:29Luka had no umbrella.
08:31He waited under a roof for half an hour.
08:33Then he ran home through the cold rain.
08:36I sat in my car watching through the foggy glass.
08:40Friday afternoon, I got to Luka's school early.
08:43I got out of the car and played a stranger.
08:45I accidentally dropped my folder right in front of him.
08:49He froze, then bent down to pick it up for me.
08:53Thanks, little guy.
08:55Your mom not here?
08:56He shook his head.
08:59Mom's too busy for me today.
09:01How you gonna get home then?
09:03I'll walk.
09:03I pulled a bottle of water out of my bag and handed it to him.
09:06Have some water.
09:09He hesitated, took it, and whispered a thanks.
09:12I noticed he bites his lip when he talks, just like me.
09:15His eyes are shaped like little crescents.
09:17The corners tilt down a little.
09:19Your mom leave you alone a lot?
09:21He nodded, then shook his head.
09:23Sometimes.
09:24What about your dad?
09:25He went quiet and stared at his shoes.
09:28The soles were falling apart.
09:30The left lace was broken.
09:32I stopped asking.
09:34I pulled out some cash and tucked it into his hand.
09:37Go buy some new shoes.
09:39He stepped back.
09:40No, I can't take this.
09:42Just think of it as a thank you for the folder.
09:44I stuffed the money into his backpack pocket and turned to leave.
09:48After a few steps, I looked back.
09:50His eyes were full of confusion.
09:53That night, I stood at Ethan's door.
09:55He was playing with a new puzzle Kion just bought him.
09:57It was a gold-plated edition.
09:59The price was terrifyingly high.
10:01I walked in and ruffled his hair.
10:03Mom, something wrong?
10:04Homework done?
10:05Finished ages ago.
10:06He held up his puzzle, proud.
10:08Proud.
10:09Dad said if I'm good, he'll take me to the beach.
10:11That's real nice.
10:12The second I turned around, my smile vanished.
10:15Kion's treatment of these two boys?
10:17Night and day.
10:18A sharp thorn twisted in my heart.
10:20My real son, Luca, walked home in the rain with broken shoes.
10:24While Ivy's son had it all.
10:27After two months of fooling around, Kion finally came home.
10:30He dropped his suitcase hard.
10:31Where's Ethan?
10:32Why is it so dead quiet?
10:33I signed him up for fighting lessons.
10:35Why so sudden?
10:36He's only in fourth grade.
10:37I didn't answer.
10:38A strange perfume clung to him.
10:40He stepped forward to hug me.
10:41I sidestepped him.
10:42Cold.
10:43Why do you smell like perfume?
10:45Who were you with?
10:46He froze.
10:47Irritation flashing in his eyes.
10:49Alara, you're being paranoid again.
10:50Cut it out.
10:51I laughed.
10:51A bitter, hollow sound.
10:53His acting was pathetic.
10:54I pulled an envelope from the drawer.
10:57Slowly, I spread the photos across the table.
11:01They looked so close, so intimate.
11:04Kion's face turned pale.
11:05He grabbed a photo and let it back down.
11:08You followed me?
11:09Does it matter?
11:10I smiled coldly.
11:12What matters is this.
11:13What happens if these show up at the new alpha ceremony?
11:17He collapsed onto the sofa.
11:19He covered his face with his hands.
11:21What do you want?
11:23My voice was flat.
11:25First, kick Ivy out of the pack.
11:27Never see her again.
11:30Second, tell me what you did ten years ago when I gave birth.
11:34He jumped up in a rage.
11:35You're crazy!
11:37All over a few photos?
11:39Kion, don't forget.
11:40I am the first heir to this pack.
11:42You are only here because of me.
11:44I gave you this power.
11:46And I can take it back.
11:48I almost felt weak for a second.
11:51But then I remembered Lucas' broken shoes.
11:54I remember he read him walking home alone in the rain.
11:57For the sake of our ten years and the child, do as I say.
12:00We can keep going.
12:02After all, we have another baby now.
12:04Kion stared at my stomach.
12:06Then he looked up at me.
12:07You're pregnant?
12:08I nodded and placed my hand on my stomach.
12:12Five weeks.
12:13Doctor says it's stable this time.
12:16His expression shifted back and forth.
12:19His throat bobbed as he looked between me and my belly.
12:23I kept going.
12:24So, cut ties with Ivy.
12:27Make her leave the pack.
12:28Forever.
12:30If you do, I can let the past go.
12:34We have Ethan.
12:36And now we have this baby.
12:38Kion stared at my stomach.
12:40His eyes were full of conflict.
12:45I need to think.
12:46He said, voice rough.
12:48He turned and headed for the bedroom.
12:50His light stayed until the wee hours.
12:53The next morning, I was seeping coffee.
12:57Kion walked out of dark circles under his eyes.
13:00I slid a glass of water his way.
13:03He took it wordlessly, avoiding my gaze.
13:06I've made up my mind, Alara.
13:08We...
13:08Don't say it!
13:09I cut him off sharp.
13:11I am breaking our bond.
13:14His face twisted in anger.
13:16What do you mean?
13:17We're having another baby.
13:18I spoke coldly.
13:20I told you I was pregnant.
13:21And you still needed a whole night to decide whether to leave her?
13:24Kion stood up.
13:25We have a child on the way.
13:27Think about the baby.
13:28Think about Ethan.
13:29The baby?
13:31Are you talking about the boy I raised for ten years?
13:33The one that belongs to you and Ivy?
13:34Kion's face went bone white.
13:36He stumbled back and hit the table.
13:37How do you know?
13:39Since when?
13:39A fake son can't pass the paternity test.
13:41Sweat began to begin to beat on Kion's oarhead.
13:43And the safe in the study.
13:45The code was Ivy's birthday.
13:46You must have felt so smart every time you opened it, right?
13:49His breathing became heavy and panicked.
13:51Let me explain.
13:52My voice was calm, almost mocking.
13:54Then explain how you swapped my biological son.
13:56Explain how you sneaked Ivy into our house.
13:59Explain how the two of you laughed at me behind my back for ten years.
14:03The funniest part is the guilt in your eyes.
14:05Are you guilty for lying to me?
14:07Or guilty for treating Luca so poorly?
14:09Luca?
14:10Where is Luca?
14:11I want to see him!
14:12Too late.
14:13He turned and pulled the door open.
14:17My son Luca is now somewhere you will never find.
14:22Your son with Ivy is still sleeping upstairs.
14:26He has no idea what his father is facing.
14:28Rushed over and grabbed my arm.
14:30Valera, you can't do this!
14:32Lucan is my child too!
14:34I shook him off.
14:36You stopped being a father the day you swapped those babies.
14:40Now, get out of my house.
14:43It slammed at the door.
14:44It heard him, pounding on it from the outside.
14:48Then came his.
14:49Hurried footsteps as he ran away.
14:52Ed knew where he was going.
14:54He was going to find Ivy.
14:56He was going to find the son he ignored for ten years.
15:00But he will.
15:02Never found Luca again.
15:04Three days ago.
15:07Sometimes 20 of you went to be.
15:09He was strangely calm.
15:11His eyes, so much like mine, showed immaturity bound his ears.
15:16I always felt like I wasn't her child.
15:19Otherwise, why would she leave me here to rot?
15:22I held his hand.
15:24I promised I will take you away and start over.
15:28He was silent for a long time.
15:30Then he slowly nodded.
15:32I asked the Westpac Alpha for help.
15:35I found a safe place for Luca.
15:38He has a new identity now.
15:40He'll go to the best schools and live in Agron House.
15:44He'll have many new friends.
15:46Once I finish cleaning up this ten year, I will bring him home to the pack.
15:52One week later, Keevan finally showed up.
15:55He stood outside the door.
15:56He had dark circles under his eyes and an unshaven beard.
15:59I hadn't seen him like this in a long time.
16:02Laura, we need to talk.
16:04I leaned against the doorframe.
16:05I didn't let him in.
16:07I've made myself clear.
16:09Break the bond.
16:10You and Ivy must leave the pack forever.
16:13He looked desperate.
16:15I can't do that.
16:16Please, think of our ten years.
16:19Think of the children.
16:20Which children?
16:21I interrupted with a cold laugh.
16:24Ethan upstairs?
16:25Or Luca?
16:26Who was brutally abused by Ivy?
16:28Keen's face turned white instantly.
16:30I slammed an envelope into his face.
16:32Ivy had left it at the house gate a few days ago.
16:35Inside were dozens of photos of Luca being hurt.
16:38Gars covered his small body.
16:39All from Ivy's abuse.
16:41I couldn't imagine how much he cried.
16:43How hopeless he felt in that dark, suffocating line.
16:46On the envelope, there was only one sentence.
16:49Thanks for raising my son all these years.
16:51I stared at those photos all night.
16:53I threw up three times by dawn.
16:55He tried to explain.
16:57Ivy, she just can't control her jealousy sometimes.
17:00I sneered.
17:01Luca is your son too.
17:02You went to see Ivy every week.
17:05You noticed her new perfume and her new hair.
17:07But you never saw the scars on your own son?
17:10He had no words.
17:12I spoke flatly.
17:13I've already notified all the Betas.
17:15If you don't break the bond, my father's old generals will judge you.
17:18Are you crazy?
17:19He whispered in a panic.
17:21I'm becoming the Alpha in a few days.
17:23You can't do this now.
17:24Before closing the door, I said one last thing.
17:26Stop dreaming.
17:27The Alpha position, Luca, and me.
17:30You don't get to have any of it.
17:32The door shut.
17:33He stood outside for a long time before finally leaving.
17:37Three days later, Keen knew it was over.
17:39He finally broke the bond with me.
17:41Four days later, he left the pack.
17:43The guards reported that Keen and Ivy got married.
17:48In the photos, Ivy wore a white wedding dress.
17:51Keen held her, but his face was stiff.
17:54Ten years of waiting, finally together!
17:57Ivy announced loudly to everyone.
18:00That afternoon, my lawyer came to see me.
18:03Alpha, the evidence is ready.
18:05The baby swapped the cheating and Ivy's abuse of Luca.
18:08This is enough to put them behind bars.
18:10Good work.
18:11He hesitated and then continued.
18:13Do you really not want to see Keen one last time?
18:15He found me yesterday.
18:16He wanted me to tell you he's sorry.
18:19It's too late.
18:20Early the next morning, the West Pack Alpha sent someone for me.
18:24Young Master is doing better this week.
18:26He told me.
18:27He's starting to talk.
18:29He even asked when you were coming.
18:30My heart raced.
18:31My eyes felt wet.
18:33I arrived at Luca's hiding place.
18:35In the house garden, a small boy was crouching.
18:38He was watching ants on the ground.
18:41My child.
18:42He looked better than before, but still too thin.
18:45His eyes were full of sadness.
18:47I thought of Ethan growing up strong under my care.
18:50It felt like a knife in my heart.
18:52I walked over and knelt in front of him.
18:55I am your mother.
18:56He stared at me for a long time.
18:58Then he gave a tiny nod.
19:00I pulled him into a hug and he didn't pull away.
19:04I'm sorry.
19:06Mommy is late.
19:08He was trembling in my arms.
19:10For the next two weeks, I ignored pack business.
19:13I left everything to my uncles.
19:15I spent every second with Luca.
19:18I took him to the amusement park.
19:19He gripped the bar tight on his first carousel ride.
19:23We went to the library.
19:24I found out he loves colorful picture books.
19:27I only dared to touch his hair after he fell asleep.
19:30He still didn't say much.
19:32But sometimes he would smile at me.
19:35At AM, the wind pushed his bedroom door open.
19:38A faint sobbing sound reached my ears.
19:41It felt like a needle stabbing my heart.
19:43I woke up instantly.
19:45I knew it.
19:46My son was crying.
19:48I pushed open his door.
19:50Moonlight filtered through the curtains.
19:51I saw his tiny body curled up on the bed.
19:54His hands gripped the blanket tight.
19:55His knuckles were white.
19:57Cold sweat covered his forehead.
19:59Mommy.
19:59He was whispering in his sleep.
20:01I rushed over and sat on the edge of the bed.
20:03Mom, no, don't lock me in.
20:05There are rats.
20:06I gently held his cold shoulders.
20:07His body went stiff for a second.
20:09Then he threw himself into my arms like a scared deer.
20:11His cries were quiet but full of despair.
20:13His tears soaked my clothes.
20:15Mom, I'm scared.
20:16It's so dark.
20:17I screamed for so long, but no one came.
20:21The rats, they crawled on my feet.
20:23My heart felt like it was being cut by a dull knife.
20:26I rubbed his back over and over.
20:28My voice shook, but I tried to stay steady.
20:31Luca, don't be afraid.
20:32Mommy is here.
20:33No one can lock you up anymore.
20:35The rats won't come back.
20:37Mommy will protect you.
20:38My tears fell silently onto his hair.
20:41I remembered the envelope Ivy left.
20:43I remembered the boy shivering the dark.
20:46I remembered the scars on his body.
20:47I wanted to tear apart everyone who ever hurt him.
20:50When he finally stopped crying and his freezing slowed, I gently pulled up his sleeve.
20:57Pale brown scars like ugly centipedes covered his arm.
21:01Those were marks from a week.
21:03On his back, there was a burn the size of a ball.
21:06He had knocked over boiling water in a dark storage room as a child.
21:10I brushed my fingers over the scars.
21:13I was so careful, like I was touching a fragile treasure.
21:18Does it hurt?
21:19He shook his head, tears still on his lashes.
21:22He bit his leap and whispered,
21:24Not anymore.
21:25But sometimes I dream about it.
21:27I dream I'm locked in there again, calling for mom.
21:32But you aren't there.
21:34I'm so sorry.
21:36I held him tighter.
21:39Mommy was late.
21:41I will never let anyone hurt you again.
21:43That night, I held him until dawn.
21:46I told him how I used to be afraid of thunder.
21:49How my father would hold me and sing nursery rhymes.
21:52I told him about being the new alpha.
21:55How hard it is to make people listen.
21:57And how I have to be strong.
21:59I told him there are many kids his age in the pack.
22:02And they are all waiting for him to come home.
22:05He listened quietly.
22:06He looked at me with eyes just like mine.
22:09Is mommy not afraid of anything?
22:12I am afraid.
22:13I said, stroking his hair.
22:15But I know, if I just keep going, things will get better.
22:21And now that I have you, I can't be afraid anymore.
22:24He nodded, not fully understanding.
22:27But his small hand squeezed my finger.
22:30A few days later, I took Luca hiking in the suburbs.
22:34We walked through the woods.
22:36Sunlight filtered through the leaves and warmed our faces.
22:40Luca watched a butterfly on a tree trunk.
22:44His eyes were full of wonder.
22:46As night fell, we set up a tent on the hilltop.
22:50We lay on the grass and looked up.
22:52The stars were like diamonds scattered across the deep blue sky.
22:55They were so bright, I couldn't look away.
22:58I pointed to Orion and told him the legend of the hunter.
23:02Luca's eyes sparkled like the stars.
23:04A small smile finally touched his lips.
23:08He leaned against my shoulder and whispered,
23:10The stars are so far away, but seeing them makes me feel safe.
23:13I squeezed his hand.
23:15I felt the warmth of his palm.
23:16My heart felt so soft.
23:17I know his deep trauma won't vanish in one trip.
23:20Just like old scars, they leave a mark no matter how you care for them.
23:23But as long as I am with him, as long as I warm him with love and patience,
23:28The starlight will pierce through the darkness.
23:31It will light up the road ahead for him.
23:33That afternoon, Luca and I were in the kitchen.
23:37We were learning how to make cookies with the chef.
23:40The doorbell rang.
23:41I heard the servant say, Mr. Kion.
23:44The flour sifter dropped from my hand.
23:47Through the glass door I saw him.
23:50Kion stood there with messy hair and sunken eyes.
23:53He was dragging an old suitcase.
23:56Elara!
23:58I've been looking for you for two weeks!
24:00I stepped out and shut the kitchen door tight.
24:04You found us.
24:05Now you can leave.
24:07Don't ever bother us again.
24:08He looked at the small shadow in the kitchen.
24:13I want to see him.
24:15Our son.
24:16I've been having nightmares lately.
24:19I dream about when he was little.
24:21About Ivy hitting him.
24:25I never knew-
24:26You should have known.
24:26You just chose to look away.
24:28He looked at my stomach.
24:29Is the baby still there?
24:30I couldn't help but laugh.
24:32For the first time in days I felt light.
24:35I put my hand on my belly and lied to him.
24:38The doctor says it's fine.
24:41It will be born six months from now.
24:43His face twisted.
24:44He became frantic.
24:46He rushed toward me.
24:47I stepped aside and he crashed into the hallway cabinet.
24:51I want to see my son!
24:54You can't do this.
24:56Luca is my son too.
24:57I looked at him and sneered.
24:59Kian, Luca's location is the last thing you should worry about.
25:02You should worry about whether Ivy can survive the mess you made.
25:04Stay away from us.
25:06I kicked him out right then.
25:07Looking at him made me feel sick to my stomach.
25:10As I slammed the door, I saw him collapse.
25:13He sat on the ground, tearing at his hair.
25:15He looked pathetic.
25:17The dog eat dog show was finally starting.
25:20My lawyer just gave me an update.
25:23Kian and Ivy had gone to court.
25:25They finally broke their bond.
25:27Screamed her lungs out in front of everyone.
25:29She exposed every dirty secret.
25:31How Kian stole PAC funds for her for years.
25:34How he promised to marry her.
25:36And how he turned cold the second he heard I was pregnant.
25:39I listened to the report with a calm face.
25:41However, Kian is blaming everything on Ivy.
25:44He claims she forced him to swap the babies.
25:47The trial lasted for two whole days.
25:49In the end, Ivy was thrown into the prison.
25:51But Kian played the victim.
25:52He sobbed in court, claiming Ivy manipulated him for ten years.
25:56It sounded ridiculous.
25:57But Kian's lawyer was top clear.
26:00My lawyer wanted to keep fighting.
26:01His lies are full of holes.
26:03But I stopped him.
26:05It's enough.
26:06At least my child is back.
26:08Luca was reading a book.
26:10I walked over and asked him softly.
26:13Luca, the bad people were punished.
26:17But maybe not enough.
26:19Do you blame me?
26:19Mom, I know who is good to me and who is not.
26:24Mom, you look better when you smile.
26:28These days, I tried to give him all the love he missed.
26:32I announced to everyone that Luca is the true heir.
26:35He is young, but I know this is his best protection.
26:39I hired the best tutors for him.
26:41The teacher frowned at his past grades.
26:43For ten years, Ivy ignored his education.
26:47She wanted him to rot away.
26:49But Luca was a fighter.
26:51One morning, I found him asleep at his desk.
26:54He was still clutching his pen.
26:57I didn't wake him.
26:58I just wrapped a blanket around him.
27:02Friday afternoon, I went to pick him up.
27:05He ran out with his new backpack.
27:07His face was flushed from playing.
27:09Mom, the teacher praised me today.
27:13I was about to give him a big hug.
27:15Then I saw a shadow across the street.
27:18Behind the glass of a coffee shop.
27:23It was Kion.
