Transcript
00:13La historia realmente begins
00:15After I got married
00:16Year 3 of my marriage
00:18My husband hid an intern in Chelsea
00:21Chloe
00:21Blonde, sweet, fresh out of Parsons
00:25Totally Alex's type
00:27She lasted 8 months
00:28A record for him, besides me
00:31A month ago, my best friend warned me
00:34Careful, he might actually love this one
00:36I gave a bitter smile
00:38And slowly shook my head
00:39After some time
00:41I woke up to blood on my pillow
00:43I rushed to the clinic
00:45You have until next spring
00:47I just nodded
00:48I wasn't scared of dying
00:50Just the pain
00:51A new medicine could help
00:53But my bank account was empty
00:55So I went to Alex's office
00:57I had to ask for the money
00:59I waited in the lounge
01:00Chloe was there too
01:02His brand new assistant
01:04She stared at me
01:05She whispered to a co-worker
01:08That's the boss's wife?
01:10She looks awful
01:11I can't believe people say we look alike
01:13Come on
01:14I'm way younger and prettier
01:16I caught my reflection in the glass
01:18Pale, messy hair
01:20Old coat
01:21She was right
01:22I looked awful
01:23I was dying after all
01:25But her co-worker nudged her
01:27She's just not trying today
01:29If she actually put on makeup
01:31She is way better than you
01:33Don't mess with her
01:34You don't know how much our boss loves her
01:37If you make her mad
01:38The boss will make you get out of New York
01:43So, the office rumor is
01:46Alex was madly in love with me
01:48Chloe didn't buy it
01:49She rolled her eyes and walked over
01:52Mrs. Harrington
01:53He makes you wait this long?
01:56Whenever I visit him
01:58He drops everything for me
02:00He says I'm his priority
02:02I looked at her
02:04I saw myself ten years ago
02:06Young, bold, full of life
02:09And it was true
02:10Alex did treat her differently
02:12He's had countless women before
02:14But they were just tools
02:16Just used to make me mad
02:18He'd get bored in weeks
02:20Except Chloe
02:21He rented her a Tribeca loft
02:24They acted like a normal couple
02:26He actually gave her his time
02:28I gave her a calm smile
02:31If you're so important
02:32Why are you his hidden mistress?
02:35Tell him to divorce me
02:36Then he can marry you
02:37Chloe's smile instantly vanished
02:40You're the unloved one here
02:42Look at you
02:43Old and tired
02:43You can't compete with me
02:45A panicked co-worker dragged her away
02:47Honestly
02:48It didn't matter
02:49I made a promise to myself
02:50No more getting angry over Alex
02:52No more crying
02:53No fighting other women for him
02:55He just isn't worth it
02:57The co-worker yanked Chloe's arm
02:59Chloe crashed to the floor
03:01Her glass shattered
03:02Blood dripped from her cut palm
03:05Alex saw everything through the glass
03:07He stormed out of his meeting
03:09He scooped Chloe into his arms
03:12His eyes were ice cold
03:14Who did this?
03:16The co-worker backed away in terror
03:18I let out a cold laugh
03:21I did
03:21She asked for it
03:23I lied
03:24Chloe buried her face in his chest
03:26Yes
03:27It's my fault
03:28I deserve to be a mistress
03:30But as long as you love me
03:32No one can tear us apart
03:34She looked so beautiful crying
03:36Alex actually smiled
03:39He gently wiped her tears
03:42Alright
03:42Your face is a mess
03:44He really treated her differently
03:46I didn't care
03:47I looked right at him
03:49Today is my birthday
03:50I need a hundred thousand dollars
03:52We're married but we don't text
03:55I only see him for money
03:56He hates that I'm a gold digger
03:59But he usually pays
04:00No questions asked
04:02Except for today
04:03Alex gave me a freezing smile
04:06You want the money?
04:08Fine
04:10But apologize to Chloe first
04:12He wanted to buy my dignity
04:14Humiliating me for another woman
04:16I slowly clenched my fists
04:19The deep pain inside my body flared up
04:21I turned around and walked away
04:24I didn't want the money anymore
04:26I was just suddenly very curious
04:29Alex
04:30If you knew this money bought me time
04:32Give me a few more months to live
04:34If you knew the agony I'll be in
04:37What would the look on your face be?
04:39I went back to my apartment alone
04:42I curled up on the big bed
04:44Covered in cold sweat from the pain
04:47I swallowed two sleeping pills
04:50Lying to myself
04:51If I sleep
04:53It won't hurt
04:54In my hazy sleep
04:56I dreamt
04:57I was 20 again
04:59A junior at NYU
05:01Alex wasn't a big boss back then
05:04Just a broke student from Brooklyn
05:06Working at a used car lot
05:09But he loved me
05:10He loved me so much
05:12For my birthday that year
05:14We passed a fancy dessert shop downtown
05:16I saw a girl eating an opera cake
05:19It looked like an expensive piece of art
05:22It was snowing hard in New York
05:25I scooped up a handful of snow
05:27Lex, doesn't the snow look like cake?
05:30He clenched his jaw
05:31He pulled me tightly into his arms
05:33Hiding his red teary eyes
05:36Three days later
05:37Outside my dorm
05:39He held a cake
05:40From that exact shop
05:42It cost $45
05:43To buy it
05:44He stood in the freezing cold
05:47Handing out 3,000 flyers
05:49Just to make 80 bucks
05:51I saw his cracked, bleeding hands
05:54I broke down crying
05:56Alexander Harrington
05:57Your hands are meant for coding and design
06:00Not for ruining them like this
06:03He frowned and cut me off
06:04Eleanor Waters
06:05You're the best girl in the world
06:07You deserve the best things in this world
06:09I cried as I ate that whole cake
06:12I can't even remember how it tastes it now
06:14But I've never had a better cake since
06:17The dream lasted a long time
06:19Half awake
06:21My phone rang
06:22I picked it up
06:24Eleanor
06:25Alex said through the speaker
06:27I smiled softly
06:29Lex
06:30It's snowing
06:31I want some cake
06:33I used a name I hadn't used in years
06:36Before he could say a word
06:38I rolled over
06:39And fell back into a deep sleep
06:42I woke up at midnight starving
06:44I went to the kitchen
06:46And there he was
06:47Alex
06:48He practically lived with Chloe now
06:51He hadn't been home in months
06:53But now he was by the window
06:55Smoking a Marlboro
06:57Staring at me
06:58As I walked past
06:59He grabbed my wrist
07:01How did you lose so much weight?
07:03He sounded so gentle
07:04Like he actually still loved me
07:07Alex, are you crazy?
07:09I froze
07:10Then yanked my arm away
07:11Then I saw the dining table
07:13A cake covered in candles
07:15The phone call wasn't a dream
07:17He actually bought the cake
07:19Was this his way of making peace?
07:22But I was dying
07:23I didn't need a cake
07:24And I didn't need him
07:26I threw the cake
07:27Straight into the trash
07:29Alex completely lost it
07:31He pinned me against the wall
07:34Are you playing with me?
07:36He hissed
07:37I looked in his eyes
07:38And smiled
07:38Yeah, Alex
07:40I am
07:42You ran out
07:43Just because I asked
07:44How are you still so pathetic?
07:47His eyes turned ice cold
07:49He dragged me to the bedroom
07:50And threw me onto the bed
07:52He was completely out of control
07:54Don't touch me
07:55You're dirty
07:56You disgust me
07:58I hit his chest
07:59Crying
07:59He pinned my legs down
08:01And bit hard
08:02Into my collarbone
08:03The pain made my tears spill
08:05Would it kill you
08:06To just give in?
08:07I've waited years
08:08For you to be sweet
08:09I was so happy
08:11You asked for cake
08:12And you play me
08:14For a fool?
08:15He whispered
08:16His voice broken
08:17He leaned in closer
08:18Then his phone rang
08:20It was Chloe
08:23His phone rang
08:24It was Chloe
08:25She was crying
08:26On the other end
08:28I'm at a bar
08:29I'm scared
08:30Please come get me
08:32Alex just looked down at me
08:34A cold smirk on his face
08:36Beg me
08:37He whispered
08:38Beg me
08:39And I won't leave
08:40He forgot
08:42Years ago
08:43I threw away my pride
08:44I begged him
08:45To treat me better
08:46He just looked at me
08:48And laughed
08:48Eleanor
08:49He said
08:50You're not worthy
08:51Those words broke me back then
08:53But today
08:54I gave them back
08:56I grabbed his shirt collar
08:57Alexander Harrington
08:59You're not worthy
09:01I whispered
09:02He went completely silent
09:04Then let out a bitter laugh
09:06He put the phone to his ear
09:09Wait there
09:10I'm coming
09:11He told Chloe
09:13He got up and walked out
09:15And slammed the door behind him
09:17The next day
09:19Photos of Alex blew up
09:21Every Upper East Side group chat went wild
09:24He got into a massive bar fight
09:26Over Chloe
09:27With a hedge fund kid
09:29My husband
09:30Is a big deal on Wall Street
09:33Forbes 30 under 30
09:35So naturally
09:36Paparazzi swarmed my building
09:38I walked out
09:40To a recorder in my face
09:42Mrs. Harrington
09:43Thoughts on your husband and Chloe
09:45I kept walking
09:47Not looking back
09:49He's a cheater
09:50She's the other woman
09:52What exactly do you want me to say
09:53But the girl chased after me
09:56I heard
09:57You dumped him
09:58When he was broke
09:59Then forced him to marry you
10:01When he got rich
10:02Now he's found his true love
10:03And you're just hoarding the wife title
10:05Aren't you the one bullying them
10:07I stopped
10:07And turned around
10:08I looked her dead in the eye
10:11And grabbed her press badge
10:13Tucked behind it
10:14Was an
10:15N-Y-U-I-D
10:17You're Chloe's friend
10:18Aren't you?
10:19Everyone knows Alex forced me to marry him
10:21I didn't want this
10:22Did you come here to smear me?
10:24So your friend can steal my place?
10:26We are friends
10:27But I'm a journalist
10:29If you don't want him
10:30Why not divorce him?
10:31I smiled
10:32I was about to answer
10:33When my nose suddenly felt warm
10:36Bright red blood dripped down
10:38Landing right on my cashmere coat
10:41The crowd gasped
10:42Someone whispered
10:44She's bleeding
10:45The crowd gasped
10:48She's bleeding
10:49Someone whispered
10:50I wiped the blood from my lips
10:52I'm not mad
10:53I'm just sick
10:55I'm dying
10:55This happens a lot lately
10:58I said peacefully
10:59The crowd went dead silent
11:01People awkwardly looked away
11:03But that girl
11:05She didn't care
11:06She just sneered at me
11:08Stop faking it
11:09A nosebleed and suddenly you're the victim?
11:11Pretending you're dying just to keep a man?
11:13You're an embarrassment to women
11:14She flipped her ponytail
11:16And marched away
11:17Watching her leave
11:19I realized
11:20She was just as annoying as Chloe
11:25The paparazzi video
11:27Hit the trending page
11:28Alex's PR team moved fast
11:31They released a harsh statement
11:33We will never divorce
11:35Do not harass my wife
11:38By that afternoon
11:39Chloe's intern friend was fired
11:42But the comments were ruthless
11:44She's so gross
11:46One said
11:47Playing the victim
11:49Dumped him when he was broke
11:50Married him when he got rich
11:53Then
11:54One comment stood out
11:55Shut the hell up
11:57If you don't know the truth
11:59Don't speak
12:00Everyone replied immediately
12:02What truth
12:03What do you know?
12:06The truth
12:07It's a tragic cliche
12:09Thinking about 10 years ago
12:11Breaks my heart
12:12Up until now
12:14Alex
12:15Still
12:15Doesn't know the truth
12:17Well I really left him years ago
12:19Years ago
12:21My mom got breast cancer
12:22The doctor said
12:24It was highly genetic
12:25A ticking time bomb for me
12:27And for any daughter
12:28I might have
12:29One day
12:30She had a massive hemorrhage
12:32The bathroom floor
12:34Was covered in blood
12:35I held her cold hands
12:38To the ER
12:39She was in a coma
12:40For three days
12:41When she finally woke up
12:44Her very first words were
12:46Break up with Alex
12:47I froze
12:49Break up with Alex
12:51I froze
12:52Mom
12:54He won't leave me
12:56I whispered
12:57She squeezed my hand
12:58And smiled
12:59I know he's a good boy
13:01I saw him waiting on his bike
13:03Every morning in high school
13:04I saw him buy you breakfast once
13:07He only had seven dollars
13:09He spent almost all of it on you
13:12And lied
13:13Saying he already ate
13:16His parents abandoned him
13:18He gave you his only food money
13:20He's so good
13:23That's why my heart aches for him
13:27Back then
13:28Alex's grandma
13:29Was also sick
13:30The woman who raised him
13:32Was hospitalized
13:32He worked multiple jobs
13:34To pay her bills
13:35Literally passing out
13:37In the college library
13:38My mom looked at me
13:40With tears
13:42Alex's wings
13:43Are still too fragile
13:47If he has to carry his grandma
13:50And then carry you
13:53He will never be able to fly
13:55I dug my nails into my palms
13:58It took me a long time to speak
14:01Mom
14:01I sobbed
14:05I just can't bear to let him go
14:08Today
14:08I bought my mom's favorite irises
14:11Getting ready to visit her grave in Brooklyn
14:13For the very last time
14:16I'm dying
14:17I needed to tell her
14:19I couldn't visit her anymore
14:20But first
14:22I stopped by Alex's office
14:23I needed to get something back
14:26Before my mom got sick
14:27Back when Alex and I were deeply in love
14:30She absolutely adored him
14:32She bought us two guardian angel pendants
14:35Silver for his birthday
14:37Gold for mine
14:38Blessed for peace and health
14:41And to keep us together forever
14:42She told me to give Alex the silver one
14:45But he insisted on taking mine
14:48He said the engraving looked like my handwriting
14:51Having it was like looking at me
14:53And he loved looking at me
14:55For years it hung on his desk lamp
14:58I was terrified that when I died
15:00He would just throw it away
15:02My mom prayed over that pendant
15:04I needed it back
15:06I wanted to leave it at her grave
15:08So it could keep her company
15:09When I walked into his office
15:11He was watching the video from this morning
15:14On his screen I was bleeding
15:16Telling the cameras I was dying
15:18He saw me and tossed his phone
15:21He didn't say a single word
15:23He didn't even ask if I was okay
15:25I looked straight at his desk lamp
15:28But the spot was empty
15:29I frowned
15:30Staring right at him
15:32Where is my pendant?
15:34Chloe followed me out
15:35She heard what I was looking for
15:37She smiled sweetly and chimed in
15:39When I cut my hand
15:42Alex felt so bad
15:43He gave me that pendant
15:45He said the angel looked like me
15:49Clumsy
15:49But he loved it
15:51I clenched my fists
15:53And glared at Alex
15:55How dare you give my things away
15:58My mom prayed for that
16:02That was yours?
16:04Sorry I forgot
16:05I thought it was a cheap trinket
16:07I snapped
16:08I grabbed a crystal paperweight
16:10And hurled it right at him
16:12Alex didn't even try to dodge
16:14It hit his forehead
16:15He instantly started bleeding
16:17Are you crazy?
16:21Chloe screamed
16:22Are you crazy?
16:24She ran out and rushed back
16:26She threw my pendant hard at me
16:29Take your trash back!
16:31Stop acting crazy and get out!
16:33The pendant hit the marble floor
16:35I dove to pick it up
16:36The chain was broken
16:38The clasp was completely smashed
16:40My name and birthday
16:42Twisted out of shape
16:43Just like my life
16:45I realized
16:46I was actually dying
16:47But I didn't want to die yet
16:49I needed to see my mom
16:51Or she'd just keep waiting for me
16:54My mind went blank
16:56That was my mother!
16:57Tears poured down my face
16:59I lunged to grab her hair
17:02But Alex caught my wrist
17:03He stepped between us
17:05Frowning
17:06I stared at him
17:07Crying
17:08And then suddenly
17:09I laughed
17:10You know I'm dying
17:12And you still bully me
17:14Alex you're a piece of shit
17:17He wiped a tear from my face
17:19First the cake
17:20Now pretending to die
17:22What game are you playing, Eleanor?
17:24I'm never feeling sorry for you again
17:26He stopped mid-sentence
17:28A drop of blood fell on his hand
17:30Then another
17:32And another
17:33My nose was bleeding again
17:36My nose was bleeding again
17:37But this time it was worse
17:39My legs gave out
17:40The pain was blinding
17:42I collapsed straight forward
17:44Alex caught me
17:45His voice cracked
17:46In pure terror
17:48Call an ambulance!
17:51His white shirt was covered in my blood
17:54He just held me there
17:55Completely helpless
17:56I was completely unconscious
17:58But I could hear Alex crying
18:00Why won't the bleeding stop?
18:03Please, please stop
18:04I smelled the hospital disinfectant
18:06I knew I was at NY Presbyterian
18:09Through the haze
18:10I heard the doctor
18:11She could have lived until spring
18:13But she ran out of insurance money
18:15She stopped her treatments
18:16It's completely out of control now
18:18There's nothing more we can do
18:20Alex sounded like he was choking
18:23You're telling me my wife is dying?
18:26Alex sounded like he was choking
18:28You're telling me my wife is dying?
18:31Then he completely lost his mind
18:33I want my wife to live!
18:37If you can't save her, get out!
18:39Find someone who can!
18:41He almost destroyed the waiting room
18:43He used all his connections
18:45Called experts in Switzerland and Boston
18:48He didn't care about the cost
18:50He wanted to fly me to Europe
18:52No one dared to stop him
18:54Until my best friend, Emily, showed up
18:57I gave Emily my medical proxy years ago
19:00I told her, if I'm suffering
19:02Just let me go
19:04I was too scared of the pain
19:06Emily stormed into the waiting room
19:09And slapped Alex across the face
19:16You have money?
19:18Where the hell were you?
19:20It's too late to play Hero
19:22She's dying
19:25It's too late to play Hero
19:28She's dying
19:29Alex stared at her legal documents
19:31His voice broke into a pathetic sob
19:34Emily, please let me take her
19:38She can't die
19:41If she dies, what do I do?
19:44Emily looked at him with pure disgust
19:46You're a heartless man
19:48You'll live just fine without her
19:50Stop pretending to care
19:52It's sickening
19:53She pushed past him into my room
19:56She held my cold hand
19:58Her tears fell instantly
20:02Do you really want me?
20:03She cried so hard my heart ached
20:05I just wanted to sleep
20:07If I slept, the pain would stop
20:10But then she begged me
20:11Just wake up one more time, okay?
20:14We need to say proper goodbyes
20:17You haven't said goodbye to your mom
20:20You haven't said goodbye to me
20:22How could you just leave?
20:25A single tear slipped from my eye
20:29You haven't said goodbye to your mom
20:32You haven't said goodbye to me
20:34How could you just leave?
20:37A single tear slipped from my eye
20:39My heart monitor started beeping faster
20:42The doctor rushed in
20:44He told Emily to keep talking to me
20:46I was showing signs of waking up
20:48Emily gripped my hand tightly
20:51She just kept talking, crying and laughing for hours
20:55Honestly, I was ready to just die
20:57But hearing her like that
20:59I felt too guilty to leave
21:01I couldn't leave without a hug
21:03I fought against my broken body
21:05With everything I had left
21:07And finally, late into the night
21:09I opened my eyes
21:12For two weeks after I woke up
21:14Emily never left my side
21:16She was so overprotective
21:18She fed me, helped me to the bathroom
21:21I felt like such a burden
21:23I just wanted to get better
21:25One day, she went out for coffee
21:27I tried to use the bathroom alone
21:29I thought I was fine
21:30But my legs completely gave out
21:33I crashed to the floor
21:34My head hit the edge of the sink
21:37Blood went everywhere
21:38Struggling to get up
21:40I pulled the cloth off the mirror
21:42Emily had covered it to protect me
21:45I looked up at a terrifying face
21:47Sunken eyes sticking out cheekbones
21:50Skin like old newspaper
21:52Was that really me?
21:54Suddenly, the door flew open
21:56Alex rushed in
21:58Alex rushed in
21:59He scooped me into his arms
22:01And covered my eyes with his hand
22:04I just stepped out to pay the bill
22:05He snapped
22:07Where the hell is Emily?
22:09She's so useless
22:10I frowned and pushed him away
22:12Don't talk about her like that
22:14She has her own life
22:16I'm the one causing trouble here
22:18Alex shut up
22:19He wiped the blood off my face
22:21His eyes were getting red
22:23Why didn't you tell me you were sick?
22:26You could have gotten better
22:28Why did you do this to yourself?
22:30I looked at him peacefully
22:32Because I don't need you
22:35I don't need your care or company
22:37Whether you knew or not
22:40It just didn't matter to me
22:43Whether you knew or not
22:45It just didn't matter to me
22:47Honestly, I never tried to hide it
22:50My medical report was on the cabinet
22:52He just never bothered to look
22:55While I was wasting away
22:56He was busy with Chloe
22:58Staying out with a younger girl
23:00So he never saw me collapse
23:02Crying in blinding agony
23:04Dialing 911 all by myself
23:07Alex carried me back to bed
23:10As he leaned over
23:11A warm tear fell onto my face
23:14He turned away
23:15His voice broken
23:17You're so tough, Eleanor
23:19You tell me to get lost when you want
23:23I know you don't need me
23:25Fine
23:25He paused
23:26Choking back a sob
23:28But
23:30I need you
23:32I didn't say a word
23:33I just closed my eyes
23:35And pretended to be asleep
23:37Alex still doesn't know the truth
23:39Why I really left him years ago
23:42When he came back rich and successful
23:44And said he wanted to marry me
23:47I owed him a real explanation
23:49I planned to tell him everything
23:51About my mom
23:52About my genetic disease
23:54I practiced my speech a million times
23:57I wanted to tell him
23:59He deserved the best girl
24:00Someone to give him healthy kids
24:03Without the burden of sickness
24:05I cried so many nights
24:07Wishing that girl was me
