00:00¡SuscrÃbete al canal!
00:33He thought I was crazy.
00:35Are you crazy?
00:37I could barely breathe, but I still thought he was ridiculous.
00:41My head was jerked to the side, blood trickling from the corner of my mouth.
00:47You know what you did.
00:49You're completely infertile. Putting up with you by my side for decades has already been more than kind enough.
00:53Then he slammed me hard onto the yellow rosewood coffee table we bought.
00:57You know what the worst part is?
00:58You think I'm the one who's infertile? You're the one with the problem.
01:01I immediately kicked him in the groin, and he winced in agony.
01:05Then I filed for divorce.
01:07The divorce was processed quickly, so fast I felt dazed.
01:10As if ten years of marriage were just a flimsy piece of paper, when Simee, his hand didn't shake at
01:15all.
01:16Well, we're both old, and our feelings died long ago.
01:18But luckily, I still have a son and daughter with me.
01:22Fine. I don't want such a dirty man either.
01:24Just then, my phone buzzed softly in my pocket.
01:27A text from Joe Parker arrived quietly.
01:30Michael Harrison has contacted a moving company, planning to leave me with nothing.
01:34I saw Nina Davis leaning out of the luxury car's passenger window, flashing a victorious smile at me.
01:39I'm here.
01:40Then I grabbed her ear and slapped her.
01:42Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, isn't this?
01:47She's got it, she's got it.
01:50Truly, trash belongs in the trash can.
01:52I took a taxi back to the home I'd lived in for 13 years, but on the day Nina Davis
01:56moved to,
01:57I went back to pack the last of my things today.
01:59What's the sewer smell? It's nauseating.
02:03Michael was sitting on the sofa, legs crossed, flipping through a newspaper.
02:06When they saw me walk in, the lively atmosphere instantly cooled.
02:10Oh, Sarah, did you forget something? Let me help you look.
02:14Oh, Sarah, did you forget something? Let me help you look.
02:18I sidestepped. My face showing undisguised disgust.
02:21Do I need to report to you what I take?
02:24This used to be my home too.
02:26Mom, this house looks a bit outdated, doesn't it?
02:28My boyfriend's place is so nicely decorated.
02:31His sofa is also really comfortable.
02:33The sofa should be replaced too.
02:36I really can't stand staying in this house anymore. It makes me feel sick.
02:40This was the home I'd shared with Michael Harrison for 10 years.
02:46Look how opinionary the kids are.
02:48This place really needs a makeover.
02:50We can't short charge ourselves or the kids or our feelings.
02:54Sarah Mitchell, pack your things and don't come to this house again anymore.
02:59This home is partly mine too.
03:01Afraid I'll open the door later and catch you two going at it?
03:04Picked up my canvas bag.
03:06Stood at the door.
03:07Nina Davis was leaning delicately on Michael Harrison.
03:11I sneered inwardly.
03:12Fine. Since you're kicking me out, I'll leave cleanly.
03:17After the divorce, I moved into an apartment not far from my old home.
03:21Just a 10 minute drive.
03:22Yet a completely different world.
03:23The place is free of Michael Harrison's snoring and incessant demands for sex.
03:27No more cigarette butts he tossed around.
03:29Instead, it's peaceful and comfortable.
03:31But my friends ridiculed me.
03:33You're just no good.
03:34Think you can do everything and yet you can't even keep a man.
03:36What's up?
03:37Not charming enough, huh?
03:38My good mood was completely destroyed.
03:42So you're stuck with housework all day long.
03:45What have you really accomplished?
03:46They'll never know that my insistence on being child free was never my true intention.
03:5010 years ago, Michael Harrison and I were newlyweds, deeply in love, dreaming of having our own child.
03:56But after more than a year of marriage, I still hadn't conceived, so we went to the hospital for tests.
04:02When the test results came out, he felt like the sky had fallen.
04:07Please, please don't tell anyone.
04:09Okay.
04:10I watched his trembling back, wrapped my arms around him from behind.
04:14I knew what he was going through that I felt for him and I loved him.
04:18So I agreed to take on all the outside pressure.
04:20I took all the blame upon myself and publicly declared that I insisted on being child free and didn't want
04:25children.
04:26Michael Harrison's parents pressured him to divorce me.
04:29You must get a divorce.
04:31Our family cannot go without an heir.
04:34I don't care about having children.
04:37No one is not chanziried.
04:38I don't care having children.
04:39As long as I can have a good life with her, that's all that matters.
04:43Back then, I was moved by his devotion, willingly taking all the blame to protect his reputation, even his manly
04:49pride and dignity.
04:50For 10 years, I swallowed my pride, cooked and cleaned for him, managed the household, and built a happy child
04:56-free family for him.
04:58But in the end, I found it was all a complete deception.
05:01The day I discovered the truth was our fifth wedding anniversary.
05:04In that moment, I understood, gained my parents' trust and support, and climbed the ladder using my family's influence.
05:12Why wouldn't he?
05:12I sat in the car with the evidence all afternoon, going from initial breakdown and anger, and grief to final
05:18calm and clarity that I couldn't let it go.
05:21I couldn't let my 10 years of sacrifice become a joke.
05:24I was introduced to Joe Parker for a friend, a private investigator.
05:29I hired him to dig into Michael, Nina, and those so-called children.
05:36I gave him my all, and he just threw it away!
05:41Every piece of evidence, I wanted it all.
05:44For five years, Joe Parker never ceased his investigation.
05:48All the evidence was gathered into a thick folder, locked in a safe in my apartment.
05:52Now Michael Harrison can't pretend anymore.
05:55My counterattack begins.
05:57Thirty days after the divorce, a wedding invitation arrived.
06:01I let out a cold laugh and tossed it casually on the table.
06:04They just wanted a prop.
06:06A living, breathing symbol of their triumph.
06:09I picked up the phone and dialed Joe.
06:13Sarah.
06:13Hi, are you at home?
06:15The wedding.
06:16Grand Imperial Main Ballroom next Saturday at noon.
06:18Are we ready?
06:19Everything is in place.
06:20I have access to the ballroom's AV system.
06:21All the evidence is ready to play on the main screen.
06:24Oh, and speaking of her boyfriend, he's been demanding more money.
06:27My intel says he plans to crash the wedding to confront her.
06:30Perfect.
06:31Thank you, Joe.
06:32He had access to the ballroom's AV system.
06:36All the evidence was ready to play on the main screen.
06:39You can't be serious.
06:40He's trying to humiliate you.
06:42He kicks you out and marries his mistress a month later?
06:45It's a slapping in face.
06:47Giving them satisfaction.
06:49Told me to just stay home.
06:50Don't you dare go, Sarah.
06:53Don't give them the satisfaction.
06:55Just stay home.
06:57Oh, I'm going.
06:59What?
07:00Why?
07:01To watch them kiss at the altar?
07:03Don't worry.
07:04I'm not going to be miserable.
07:06I'm going to watch a comedy.
07:09I spent the next week preparing.
07:12I bought a fitted deep white red dress.
07:15Elegant.
07:15I was going to walk into that wedding looking like a queen.
07:19The day of the wedding, Michael stood in the center of it all, soaking in the congratulations.
07:24Nina was on his arm, playing the part of the graceful, beloved bride.
07:30And then I walked in.
07:32The moment I walked in, the room went silent.
07:35I spotted Joe in a corner.
07:37Showtime.
07:39I picked up a glass of champagne and glided toward the happy couple.
07:51It's all in the past.
07:53What has happened to your gentle, lovely bin Lingerger?
07:55Did you feed to the gogs?
08:04Just hope you two can stay this happy forever.
08:08I have a surprise for you two.
08:10The wedding went on as planned.
08:12The host started spinning this fairy tale about Michael and Nina.
08:16Michael was a long-suffering romantic who waited 30 years for his true love.
08:20Nina was a patient saint who gave everything and asked for.
08:24Nothing.
08:24I'm so happy for that.
08:25The guests ate it up.
08:26Only two people in the room knew it was all bullshit.
08:29Me and Joe.
08:31I watched from my corner.
08:33Emma and Liam walked up the aisle and handed them flowers.
08:36Michael touched his son's shoulder, smoothed back his daughter's hair.
08:40He's thinking, this is what a real family looks like.
08:43Halfway through the reception, Michael held up a hand, stopping the music.
08:48He took the microphone.
08:50Dear guests,
08:54Today, with Nina by my side and my beautiful children, Emma and Liam here with us,
09:01I am the happiest man in the world.
09:03Nina was in tears.
09:05Emma and Liam were crying too.
09:07I am so grateful to be standing here today.
09:11There was a time I thought I'd never be a father, that I was destined for a quiet, childless life.
09:18But fate, fate was kind to me.
09:22It's a great story.
09:24And it's a story that needs to be told.
09:27It's a beautiful story.
09:29It brought me Nina.
09:31She gave me the greatest gift of all.
09:33A son and a daughter.
09:36No, you gave me everything.
09:40And for that, I can never repay her.
09:50Today, in front of all of you, I am signing this house, our marital home, over to my children, Emma
09:59and Liam.
10:02What a great father.
10:04What lucky kids.
10:05Emma and Liam had their hands over their mouths, fake sobbing with joy.
10:09They looked at Nina, who gave them a triumphant nod.
10:12They thought they'd won.
10:14Just as Michael was about to sign, I stood up.
10:17I object.
10:19What the hell do you think you're doing?
10:21You just leave with me.
10:23You was roughed.
10:24You were, what the hell do you think you're doing?
10:26This is our day.
10:27Security.
10:28Get her out of here.
10:30Sarah, I know this is hard for you.
10:32Seeing me with my own kids, it must eat you up inside.
10:36But you have to accept reality.
10:38We're divorced now.
10:39We're old.
10:39What do we need a big house for?
10:41It's for the kids.
10:41It's the right thing to do.
10:42He was painting me as the bitter, jealous ex-wife.
10:45This crazy old hat couldn't stand to see him happy.
10:47Ruining someone's good life.
10:49Let's keep today positive.
10:50Any issues can be handled privately.
10:53I'm not the one who can't have children.
10:56What the hell is that supposed to mean?
10:59My eggs are perfectly healthy, frozen, and waiting for me at a fertility clinic.
11:03If I want a baby, all I have to do...
11:08What the hell is going on?
11:12You bitch!
11:14I begged you for a baby for years, and you said no.
11:19Now you're going to go make some goddamn test pipe baby without me after everything?
11:25He stumbled back, stunned into silence.
11:31I walked calmly toward the stage.
11:34It was never me who couldn't have children.
11:38It was you!
11:39Michael, you have severe male infertility.
11:42You can't have children.
11:44You never could!
11:46The truth, finally.
11:48Ballroom went dead silent.
11:50We did that.
11:51This is unbelievable.
11:52I knew it!
11:52You're such a fool.
11:53What?
11:54Michael can't have kids?
11:56No way.
12:07Michael's face was a thundercloud.
12:17Look at Michael's face.
12:20He looks like he's seen a ghost.
12:25You're lying!
12:26I can have children!
12:28Emma and Liam are my kids!
12:30You're a damn liar!
12:32I laughed and sidestepped him.
12:34I caught Josiah and gave him the signal.
12:36A recording began to play.
12:45You're the husband, right?
12:47The test results show that the sperm motility is only 2%.
12:52It's very difficult to make a woman pregnant.
12:54I understand.
12:56Doctor, don't tell him.
12:58Don't tell anyone.
12:59That's why I did it.
13:00To protect him.
13:01I know that you're going to listen to this,
13:03and I need you to know that I'm so sorry.
13:04I'm so sorry that I put you in this position.
13:06But I had to.
13:08Mrs. Mitchell, this isn't something you can hide forever.
13:11It's going to come out one way or another.
13:25The looks on people's faces had changed completely.
13:29Hidden camera footage.
13:33When the kids are grown.
13:38When the kids are grown,
13:39I'll get Michael to leave them everything.
13:42Then we take the money
13:44and live how we want.
13:52It's a fake!
13:53She faked it!
13:54It's a deep fake!
13:55She's trying to frame me!
14:04The room is broken.
14:06Everyone stared at Nina.
14:08Michael's to prison.
14:10His face a grotesque mix of rage and disbelief.
14:13Then, pure hatred.
14:14A shark sliced away.
14:16Nina laid there with a sobbing, pathetic.
14:20What are you doing?
14:22Nina, you whore!
14:30Michael, please.
14:33Let me explain.
14:34I just love you.
14:37Explain?
14:39You lied to me for ten years!
14:42You had me raising another man's brats,
14:45thinking they were mine!
14:47You made a fool of me!
14:49I did this for us.
14:51I just wanted to give you a child.
14:53Someone to be there for you when you got old.
15:01The wedding is off!
15:03Get out!
15:04You and those kids!
15:05Get the hell out of my life!
15:17N-
15:24Nina, let's go.
15:25Forget him.
15:26We'll take the money and run.
15:31Emma and Liam stood by
15:33Gail and Kevin
15:34You said my being here would make the wedding special
15:37Well
15:39Was it special enough?
15:41I stood on the stage
15:43Looking down at the wreckage
15:45Michael stared at me
15:46His face ashen, his chest heaving
15:49He opened his mouth
15:50But no words came out
15:52I turned my back on the circus
15:54I walked out of that ballroom
15:56Head held high
15:57Outside, Joe was waiting
16:00Nina's offshore bank records
16:02And the official DNA test for the kids
16:04Just in case you need them
16:09I stepped out into the bright sunlight
16:11And took a deep breath
16:13For the first time in 30 years
16:14I felt like I could finally breathe
16:16Michael Harrison's name became a punchline
16:19And he deserved every bit of it
16:22When I got home
16:23Joe texted me
16:25Michael kicked Nina and the kids out
16:27He's destroying the house
16:32Get your bastard children
16:34And get out
16:36I should have known a slut like you
16:38Could never be a Harrison
16:39You're nothing but a gold digging lying whore
16:42Michael please
16:43I know I was wrong
16:44Forgive me
16:45The children are innocent
16:46They've called you dad for 20 years
16:48How can you be so cruel?
16:50Cruel?
16:50You lied to me
16:52You had me raising another man's kids
16:53Making me the laughing stock of this entire city
16:55And you want to talk about cruel?
16:57Go find your lover boy
16:58The one you were going to rob me blind with
17:00Go on
17:01See if he'll take care of you now
17:02Just get out of my sight
17:09You can't do this
17:10You need someone to take care of you
17:11Hey
17:17Silence
17:18He knelt
17:20Picking up a piece of the broken glass
17:22The four of them smiling
17:25A perfect happy lie
17:27All of it a sham
17:29And then
17:30The memories came flooding back
17:33The ones he tried so hard to bury
17:35He remembered our wedding photo
17:38Me curled up on that exact sofa
17:40Reading a book
17:41Asking him what he wanted for dinner
17:43He remembered me taking care of him when he was sick
17:46He remembered me using my own savings
17:49To help him start his business when he was struggling
17:52He thought I was being bitter
17:54Now he realized I was trying to warn him
17:58I thought that
17:59He stumbled to the bar
18:02Grabbed a bottle of scotch
18:03And started chugging it straight from the bottle
18:06The burn in his throat was nothing compared to the bitterness in his heart
18:10He needed to talk to me
18:12His thumb hovered over the call button
18:14But he couldn't press it
18:16What right did he have?
18:18The phone slipped from his grasp
18:20And crashed to the floor
18:21The screen shattering
18:22Just like his life
18:25He sank onto the sofa
18:26And started to laugh
18:27A hollow, broken sound
18:30He said it again and again
18:32To the empty room
18:33Sarah
18:33But it was too late
18:36Sarah
18:48There are no second chances
18:50Not for men like him
18:52He was alone
18:54In that empty house
18:56Alone
18:57After the truth bomb dropped
18:59Everything changed
19:01A thirty year wait was gone
19:03I could finally breathe
19:05The old widow next door
19:07Who used to glare at me
19:08Grabbed my hand
19:09She finally knew the truth
19:12Sarah honey
19:14I'm so, so sorry
19:19You suffered too much
19:21The college girl in 3B brought me flowers
19:24You're a total badass, Sarah
19:26Watching you take them down was epic
19:28If anyone ever says a bad word about you
19:30I'll set them straight
19:31Even my parents called
19:36We had no idea
19:38No idea what you were going through
19:44My friends all wanted to take me out for freedom dinners
19:47I turned them all down
19:49That trip to Bali Michael and I were supposed to take
19:53I never cancelled my ticket
19:55So I upgraded to first class
19:58As for my eggs
20:00I wasn't going to use them
20:02I'd already arranged to have them donated
20:05My legacy would live on
20:07Somewhere out there in the world
20:09And Michael
20:11He would have nothing
20:12This was always my end game
20:15I knew the truth for years
20:17Morning for flight
20:18Rezo 2
20:24The moment I stepped off the plane in Den Bazaar
20:27I could smell the frangipani
20:29The noise of the city
20:30The drama
20:31The gossip
20:32It all just melted away
20:34My phone buzzed
20:36It was a final report from Joe
20:38I read the messages
20:40I felt nothing
20:42Not a flicker of pity
20:44Not a hint of satisfaction
20:46Just
20:47Nothing
20:48I rented a scooter
20:50Abud's rice paddies
20:52Oluwata's cliffs
20:53Seminyak's sunsets
20:55I listened to the sound of the ocean
20:57I hiked up a volcano before dawn
21:00I did whatever I wanted
21:02Whenever I wanted
21:04No one to please
21:05No one to answer to
21:08I rented a small villa overlooking the ocean
21:16Every morning
21:17I woke up to the sound of the waves
21:20I'd sit on the porch with a cup of coffee and just watch the water
21:24And I felt a sense of peace I hadn't felt in 10 years for so long
21:29I had lived my life for him
21:31For our marriage
21:33For his reputation
21:35I played the part everyone expected me to play
21:38And I completely forgot who I was
21:41Now, sitting there
21:43With the sun on my face
21:44And the whole world in front of me
21:46I was finally finding myself
21:49I was finally living for me 10 years now
21:52And I was thinking of
21:56I thought you're not hiding
21:57I would be a mother
21:59And I was living for the sun
22:00I don't know
